description: It is well known that the tuning of a long radio-frequency quadrupole accelerator is demanding. This study investigated how to realize efficient long RFQ accelerators with multiple shorter and independent cavities. From the RF point of view, the use of shorter cavities has many advantages e.g. enlarged mode separation and simplified RF tuning, but the beam matching between cavities will become an issue, especially at high current and low energy. Taking a more than 9 m long, high current machine as an example, this paper presents the design concepts and methods leading to good beam quality and high beam transmission throughout a multi-stage RFQ accelerator.

description: The present experiment compared the effects of a food-based conditioned inhibitor on food seeking vs. cocaine seeking behavior. In two groups of rats, the A+/AB− Pavlovian conditioned inhibition procedure was used to create a conditioned inhibitor for food. Then, for one group of rats (Food–Food Group), a click stimulus was established as an operant discriminative stimulus (SD) for food-­reinforced lever pressing. In the other group (Food–Cocaine Group), the click was established as an SD for cocaine self­ administration. In testing, the putative inhibitor for food was simultaneously presented with the click for the first time in both groups. In the Food–Food Group, the food­-based inhibitor suppressed responding occasioned by the click significantly more than did a neutral control stimulus. In contrast, in the Food–Cocaine Group, there was no difference in the amount of suppression produced by the food-­based inhibitor and the control stimulus. These results suggest that the effects of food­-based Pavlovian conditioned inhibitors are specific for food-­motivated behavior and do not easily transfer to cocaine­ motivated behavior.

description: Este trabalho pretende verificar quais são os atributos e as dimensões que compõem a imagem da carne de frango, na percepção de consumidores e varejistas e, mais especificamente, qual a imagem central deste produto e o valor percebido. Para tanto, foi implementada uma pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter exploratório, empregando-se o Método de Configuração de Imagem (MCI). Como amostra, selecionou-se um grupo de 40 consumidores e 40 varejistas. Os resultados mostraram que a imagem central do produto, tanto para consumidores quanto para varejistas, é composta por alguns atributos comuns, como a “saudabilidade” da carne, melhor preço, sabor e versatilidade. Com relação às dimensões das imagens identificou-se que tanto os consumidores quanto os varejistas percebem a carne de frango como contendo mais atributos físicos e materiais, racionais e sensoriais. Em adição, a percepção de benefício é mais fortemente percebida pelos varejistas que pelos consumidores, sendo que os estes ainda têm uma forte crença sobre existência de hormônios na carne de frango. Tais resultados são importantes para o direcionamento estratégico das ações de comunicação para promover o consumo deste produto. ----- This study aims to verify which are the attributes and dimensions that make up the image of chicken meat in the perception of consumers and retailers and, more specifically, what the central image of this product and the perceived value. For this purpose, was implemented a qualitative research, exploratory, using the Method of Image Configuration. As a sample, it was selected a group of 40 consumers and 40 retailers. The results showed that the central image of the product, both for consumers and retailers, is consists for some common attributes such as “healthiness” of the meat, better price, taste and versatility. With regard to the dimensions of the images identified that both consumers and retailers perceive chicken meat as containing more physical and material, rational and sensory attributes. In addition, the perception of benefit is more strongly perceived by retailers than consumers, and these still have a strong belief about the existence of hormones in chicken meat. These results are important for the strategic direction of communication actions to promote the consumption of this product.

description: Multiconfigurational Hartree-Fock theory is presented and implemented in an investigation of the fragmentation of a Bose-Einstein condensate made of identical bosonic atoms in a double well potential at zero temperature. The approach builds in the effects of the condensate mean field and of atomic correlations by describing generalized many-body states that are composed of multiple configurations which incorporate atomic interactions. Nonlinear and linear optimization is utilized in conjunction with the variational and Hylleraas-Undheim theorems to find the optimal ground and excited states of the interacting system. The resulting energy spectrum and associated eigenstates are presented as a function of double well barrier height. Delocalized and localized single configurational states are found in the extreme limits of the simple and fragmented condensate ground states, while multiconfigurational states and macroscopic quantum superposition states are revealed throughout the full extent of barrier heights. Comparison is made to existing theories that either neglect mean field or correlation effects and it is found that contributions from both interactions are essential in order to obtain a robust microscopic understanding of the condensate's atomic structure throughout the fragmentation process.

description: The composition of an atmosphere has integrated the geological history of the entire planetary body. However, the long-term evolutions of the atmospheres of the terrestrial planets are not well documented. For Earth, there were until recently only few direct records of atmosphere's composition in the distant past, and insights came mainly from geochemical or physical proxies and/or from atmospheric models pushed back in time. Here we review innovative approaches on new terrestrial samples that led to the determination of the elemental and isotopic compositions of key geochemical tracers, namely noble gases and nitrogen. Such approaches allowed one to investigate the atmosphere's evolution through geological period of time, and to set stringent constraints on the past atmospheric pressure and on the salinity of the Archean oceans. For Mars, we review the current state of knowledge obtained from analyses of Martian meteorites, and from the direct measurements of the composition of the present-day atmosphere by rovers and spacecrafts. Based on these measurements, we explore divergent models of the Martian and Terrestrial atmospheric evolutions. For Venus, only little is known, evidencing the critical need for dedicated missions.

description: Model fits (weighted AIC) for BM, OU, EB, and Pulsed model of phenotypic evolution computed in pulsR (13). Red indicates best fit. We use the AIC weight to determine which model best suits our data. The values in our table represent AIC weights for each of the 9 models we tested (BM, OU, EB, and 6 pulsed models). In all cases the pulsed models were favoured as compared to the non-pulsed models. However, each pulsed model had very similar weights, which make it difficult to determine which pulsed model is better. For that reason, we club them together and report the highest AIC weight.

description: The Lynx arc, with a redshift of 3.357, was discovered during spectroscopic follow-up of the z=0.570 cluster RX J0848+4456 from the ROSAT Deep Cluster Survey. The arc is characterized by a very red R-K color and strong, narrow emission lines. Analysis of HST WFPC2 imaging and Keck optical and infrared spectroscopy shows that the arc is an \hii galaxy magnified by a factor of ~10 by a complex cluster environment. The high intrinsic luminosity, the emission line spectrum, the absorption components seen in Lyαand C IV, and the restframe ultraviolet continuum are all consistent with a simple HII region model containing ~ 10^6 hot O stars. The best fit parameters for this model imply a very hot ionizing continuum (T_BB ~ 80,000 K), high ionization parameter (log U ~ -1), and low nebular metallicity (Z / Z_\odot ~ 0.05). The narrowness of the emission lines requires a low mass-to-light ratio for the ionizing stars, suggestive of an extremely low metallicity stellar cluster. The apparent overabundance of silicon in the nebula could indicate enrichment by past pair instability supernovæ, requiring stars more massive than ~140 M_\odot.

Automatic Diagnosis of Coronavirus Disease on Chest CT Images Utilising Deep Learning

description: The ongoing pandemic, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has presented substantial challenges, particularly in the realm of diagnostic accuracy and the labour-intensive nature of the work of radiologists. While computer-aided systems have shown promise as potential solutions, several challenges persist. These include issues related to performance sensitivity, limited training data, high annotation costs, and resource efficiency demands. This thesis aims to address these challenges and inform the development of highly sensitive, data-efficient deep neural networks (DNNs). The research in this thesis evolved through three distinct stages, each driven by changing research needs. Initially, due to limited public availability of large-scale data sources, focus was placed on classification with a restricted dataset. GBBNet was proposed by reconfiguring and retraining the bestselected backbone, GoogLeNet, based on a prior optimal-backbone-selection algorithm. This model was specifically designed for COVID-19 diagnosis, leveraging pre-trained representations. And Bayesian Optimization was employed for robust hyperparameter tuning. A significant milestone during this phase was the development of the COVIDSeg model, designed for precise lung area delineation. In the second stage, the research transitioned from singular pre-trained to ensemble learning-based models. AdaD-FNN was presented to leverage sequentially transferred knowledge and decay mechanisms to reduce noise retention and enhance pattern recognition in complex cases. Acknowledging the heavy human involvement in the COVID-Seg model, especially in atypical cases, the F-U2MNet-C segmentation model was designed. This advanced preprocessing tool demonstrated superior generalisability, countering issues such as block effects, disparity in enhancement levels, and boundary ambiguity. Recognising the resource-intensive nature of ensemble learning, a fuzzy logic Proportional-Integral- Derivative (PID) Controller-Based Stochastics Optimization algorithm with an adaptive learning rate was proposed. This method alleviated the early overshoot phenomenon observed with Stochastic Gradient Descent-Momentum (SGD-M) and expedited DNN convergence. The efficacy of this algorithm is evident in its ability it harnesses past, present, and anticipated changes of the gradient, updating network parameters in line with specific fuzzy logic rules. Experimental results underline the importance of this optimizer in addressing early overshooting and promoting better convergence, holding promise for enhanced clinical diagnosis. After conducting thorough testing on publicly available Chest Computed Tomography (CCT) image datasets, these three frameworks demonstrated superior performance compared to stateof- the-art methods in diagnosing COVID-19, resulting in significant enhancements in both accuracy and robustness.

In this exploratory paper, we examine different understandings of privacy and use Palen and Dourish's framework to look at the negotiation of privacy along boundaries between a human at home, the robot, and its sensors. We select three dilemmas: turning sensors on and off, the robot seeing through walls, and machine learning. We discuss these dilemmas and also discuss ways the robot can help make the elderly more aware of privacy issues and to build trust.

description: We present results from a series of high-resolution N-body simulations that focus on the formation and evolution of eight dark matter halos, each of order a million particles within the virial radius. We follow the time evolution of hundreds of satellite galaxies with unprecedented time resolution, relating their physical properties to the differing halo environmental conditions. The self-consistent cosmological framework in which our analysis was undertaken allows us to explore satellite disruption within live host potentials, a natural complement to earlier work conducted within static potentials. Our host halos were chosen to sample a variety of formation histories, ages, and triaxialities; despite their obvious differences, we find striking similarities within the associated substructure populations. Namely, all satellite orbits follow nearly the same eccentricity distribution with a correlation between eccentricity and pericentre. We also find that the destruction rate of the substructure population is nearly independent of the mass, age, and triaxiality of the host halo. There are, however, subtle differences in the velocity anisotropy of the satellite distribution. We find that the local velocity bias at all radii is greater than unity for all halos and this increases as we move closer to the halo centre, where it varies from 1.1 to 1.4. For the global velocity bias we find a small but slightly positive bias, although when we restrict the global velocity bias calculation to satellites that have had at least one orbit, the bias is essentially removed.

description: This article looks at ‘knowledge management’, using a case study of the World Bank’s research department, located in the Bank’s Development Economics Vice-Presidency (DEC). Despite the Bank’s presentation of its research arm as conducting ‘rigorous and objective’ work, the author finds that the Bank’s ‘knowledge management’ involves research that has tended to reinforce the dominant neo-liberal globalization policy agenda. The article examines some of the mechanisms by which the Bank’s research department comes to play a central role in what Robert Wade has termed ‘paradigm maintenance’, including incentives in hiring, promotion, and publishing, as well as selective enforcement of rules, discouragement of dissonant views, and manipulation of data. The author’s analysis is based both on in-depth inter- views with current and former World Bank professionals and on examination of the relevant literature.

description: We study the three-dimensional two-band Anderson model of localization and compare our results to experimental results for amorphous metallic alloys (AMA). Using the transfer-matrix method, we identify and characterize the metal-insulator transitions as functions of Fermi level position, band broadening due to disorder and concentration of alloy composition. The appropriate phase diagrams of regions of extended and localized electronic states are studied and qualitative agreement with AMA such as Ti-Ni and Ti-Cu metallic glasses is found. We estimate the critical exponents nu_W, nu_E and nu_x when either disorder W, energy E or concentration x is varied, respectively. All our results are compatible with the universal value nu ~ 1.6 obtained in the single-band Anderson model.

description: The role of ionization feedback on high-mass (>8 Msun) star formation (HMSF) is still highly debated. Questions remain concerning the presence of nearby HII regions changes the properties of early HMSF and whether HII regions promote or inhibit the formation of high-mass stars. To characterize the role of HII regions on the HMSF, we study the properties of a sample of candidates high-mass starless clumps (HMSCs), of which about 90% have masses larger than 100 Msun. These high-mass objects probably represent the earliest stages of HMSF; we search if (and how) their properties are modified by the presence of an HII region. We took advantage of the recently published catalog of HMSC candidates. By cross matching the HMSCs and HII regions, we classified HMSCs into three categories: 1) The HMSCs associated with HII regions both in the position in the projected plane of the sky and in velocity; 2) HMSCs associated in the plane of the sky, but not in velocity; and 3) HMSCs far away from any HII regions in the projected sky plane. We carried out comparisons between associated and nonassociated HMSCs based on statistical analyses of multiwavelength data from infrared to radio. Statistical analyses suggest that HMSCs associated with HII regions are warmer, more luminous, more centrally-peaked and turbulent. We also clearly show, for the first time, that the ratio of bolometric luminosity to envelope mass of HMSCs (L/M) could not be a reliable evolutionary probe for early HMSF due to the external heating effects of the HII regions. More centrally peaked and turbulent properties of HMSCs associated with HII regions may promote the formation of high-mass stars by limiting fragmentation. High resolution interferometric surveys toward HMSCs are crucial to reveal how HII regions impact the star formation process inside HMSCs.

description: The ability to perform a universal set of quantum operations based solely on static resources and measurements presents us with a strikingly novel viewpoint for thinking about quantum computation and its powers. We consider the two major models for doing quantum computation by measurements that have hitherto appeared in the literature and show that they are conceptually closely related by demonstrating a systematic local mapping between them. This way we effectively unify the two models, showing that they make use of interchangeable primitives. With the tools developed for this mapping, we then construct more resource-effective methods for performing computation within both models and propose schemes for the construction of arbitrary graph states employing two-qubit measurements alone.

description: A survey of nematodes associated with vegetable crops on seven estates in Antigua revealed 15 genera of plant parasitic nematodes. These included reniform nematodes Rotylenchulus spp., root knot nematodes Meloidogyne spp., lance nematodes, Hoplolaimus spp., stylet nematodes Tylenchorhynchus spp., and spiral nematodes Helicotylenchus spp., all of which are known to be economically important in crop production in other parts of the world. Moreover, the population density at which the nematodes occur in soil samples suggest that they could be limiting factors in vegetable production in Antigua.

description: In certain backgrounds string theory exhibits quantum Hall-like behavior. These backgrounds provide an explicit realization of the effective non-commutative gauge theory description of the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE), and of the corresponding large N matrix model. I review results on the string theory realization of the two-dimensional fractional quantum Hall fluid (FQHF), and describe new results on the stringy description of higher-dimensional analogs.

description: Effects of black plastic mulch and clear plastic canopy on the nematode populations and southern blight of tomato were investigated at the University Field Station, Trinidad. The results showed significant differences (p = 0.05) in the effectiveness of the various treatments against populations of Rotylenchulus reniforrnis, Aphelenchus avenae, Meloidogyne incognita and Tylenchus sp. The incidence of southern blight (Sclerotium rolfsii) was reduced in the black plastic mulch and mulch plus clear plastic canopy treatments but greatly increased in the clear plastic canopy treatment when compared wich the control. Much of the reduction in yield of agricultural crops in the Eastern Caribbean has been partly attributed to plant parasitic nematodes either directly or in association with other soil borne disease-causing organisms e.g. Fusarium, Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. and Pseudomonas solanacearum Sm, (1, 2, 7). The conventional practice of vegetable crop rotation and other cultural practices e.g. fallowing, occasional flooding and use of organic manure do not seem to be effective in preventing the build-up of plant pathogens. Soil fumigants have been found to be effective in significantly reducing nematode populations (11) but because these fumigants are expensive their use is restricted to high value crops. The effects of plastic mulch on the nematode populations and on southern blight have not been investigated in the Eastern Caribbean. Sandhu and Dalai (10) recently reported the effects of black plastic mulch and clear plastic canopy on the soil properties and their relationship to tomato yield in low-land tropics. The beneficial effects of plastic mulches and/or clear plastic canopies have been reported by other workers (4, 6, 9). The purpose of this study was, therefore, to investigate the effect of black plastic (polyethylene) mulch and clear plastic canopy on nematode population and southern blight of tomato.

Solving Three-Cluster OCM Equations in the Faddeev Formalism

description: Two different types of orthogonality condition models (OCM) are equivalently formulated in the Faddeev formalism. One is the OCM which uses pairwise orthogonality conditions for the relative motion of clusters, and the other is the one which uses the orthogonalizing pseudo-potential method. By constructing a redundancy-free T-matrix, one can exactly eliminate the redundant components of the total wave function for the harmonic-oscillator Pauli-forbidden states, without introducing any limiting procedure. As an example, a three-alpha-particle model interacting via the deep alpha alpha potential by Buck, Friedrich and Wheatley is investigated.

description: Research on mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of developmental programming of health and disease has focused primarily on processes that are specific to cell types, organs and phenotypes of interest. However, the observation that exposure to suboptimal or adverse developmental conditions concomitantly influences a broad range of phenotypes suggests that these exposures may additionally exert effects through cellular mechanisms that are common, or shared, across these different cell and tissue types. It is in this context that we focus on cellular bioenergetics and propose that mitochondria, bioenergetic and signalling organelles may represent a key cellular target underlying developmental programming. In this review, we discuss empirical findings in animals and humans that suggest key structural and functional features of mitochondrial biology exhibit developmental plasticity; are influenced by the same physiological pathways that are implicated in susceptibility for complex, common age-related disorders; and that these targets of mitochondrial developmental programming exhibit long-term temporal stability. We conclude by articulating current knowledge gaps and propose future research directions to bridge these gaps.

Tidal Disruption of a Star By a Black Hole : Observational Signature

description: We have modeled the time-variable profiles of the Halpha emission line from the non-axisymmetric disk and debris tail created in the tidal disruption of a solar-type star by a million solar mass black hole. Two tidal disruption event simulations were carried out using a three dimensional relativistic smooth-particle hydrodynamic code, to describe the early evolution of the debris during the first fifty to ninety days. We have calculated the physical conditions and radiative processes in the debris using the photoionization code CLOUDY. We model the emission line profiles in the period immediately after the accretion rate onto the black hole became significant. We find that the line profiles at these very early stages of the evolution of the post-disruption debris do not resemble the double peaked profiles expected from a rotating disk since the debris has not yet settled into such a stable structure. As a result of the uneven distribution of the debris and the existence of a ``tidal tail'' (the stream of returning debris), the line profiles depend sensitively on the orientation of the tail relative to the line of sight. Moreover, the predicted line profiles vary on fairly short time scales (of order hours to days). Given the accretion rate onto the black hole we also model the Halpha light curve from the debris and the evolution of the Halpha line profiles in time.

Non-universality of elastic exponents in random bond-bending networks

description: We numerically investigate the rigidity percolation transition in two-dimensional flexible, random rod networks with freely rotating cross-links. Near the transition, networks are dominated by bending modes and the elastic modulii vanish with an exponent f=3.0\pm0.2, in contrast with central force percolation which shares the same geometric exponents. This indicates that universality for geometric quantities does not imply universality for elastic ones. The implications of this result for actin-fiber networks is discussed.
