description: The MEDWAVES (MEDiterranean out flow WAter and Vulnerable EcosystemS) cruise targeted areas under the potential influence of the MOW within the Mediterranean and Atlantic realms. These include seamounts where Cold-water corals (CWCs) have been reported but that are still poorly known, and which may act as essential “stepping stones” connecting fauna of seamounts in the Mediterranean with those of the continental shelf of Portugal, the Azores and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. One of this target areas is the Ormonde seamount; where four ROV videos transects (D) were conducted between 660 and 1960 m depth to explore the deep-sea macrobenthic communities. Here we presented the identification catalogue for this area.

description: For a rank two root system and a pair of nonnegative integers, using only elementary combinatorics we construct two posets. The constructions are uniform across the root systems A1+A1, A2, C2, and G2. Examples appear in Figures 3.2 and 3.3. We then form the distributive lattices of order ideals of these posets. Corollary 5.4 gives elegant quotient-of-products expressions for the rank generating functions of these lattices (thereby providing answers to a 1979 question of Stanley). Also, Theorem 5.3 describes how these lattices provide a new combinatorial setting for the Weyl characters of representations of rank two semisimple Lie algebras. Most of these lattices are new; the rest of them (or related structures) have arisen in work of Stanley, Kashiwara, Nakashima, Littelmann, and Molev. In a future paper, one author shows that the posets constructed here form a Dynkin diagram-indexed answer to a combinatorially posed classification question. In a companion paper, some of these lattices are used to explicitly construct some representations of rank two semisimple Lie algebras. This implies that these lattices are strongly Sperner.

description: The evolution of optical pulses in fiber optic communication systems with strong, higher order dispersion management is modeled by a cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with periodically varying linear dispersion at second and third order. Through an averaging procedure, we derive an approximate model for the slow evolution of such pulses and show that this system possesses a stable ground state solution. Furthermore, we characterize the ground state numerically. The results explain the experimental observation of higher order dispersion managed solitons, providing theoretical justification for modern communication systems design.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: We derive a model for the propagation of short pulses in nonlinear media. The model is a higher-order regularization of the short-pulse equation (SPE). The regularization term arises as the next term in the expansion of the susceptibility in derivation of the SPE. Without the regularization term there do not exist traveling pulses in the class of piecewise smooth functions with one discontinuity. However, when the regularization term is added, we show, for a particular parameter regime, that the equation supports smooth traveling waves which have structure similar to solitary waves of the modified Korteweg-deVries equation. The existence of such traveling pulses is proved via the Fenichel theory for singularly perturbed systems and a Melnikov-type transversality calculation. Corresponding statements for the Ostrovsky equations are also included.

description: We analyze the properties of a Raman quantum light-atom interface in long atomic ensemble and its applications as a quantum memory or two-mode squeezed state generator. We consider the weak-coupling regime and include both Stokes and anti-Stokes scattering and the effects of Doppler broadening in buffer gas assuming frequent velocity-averaging collisions. We find the Green functions describing multimode transformation from input to output fields of photons and atomic excitations. Proper mode basis is found via singular value decomposition for short interaction times. It reveals that triples of modes are coupled by a transformation equivalent to a combination of two beamsplitters and a two-mode squeezing operation. We analyze the possible transformations on an example of warm rubidium-87 vapor. The model we present bridges the gap between the Stokes only and anti-Stokes only interactions providing simple, universal description in a temporally and longitudinally multimode situation. Our results also provide an easy way to find an evolution of the states in a Schrödinger picture thus facilitating understanding and design.

description: Eilenodontines are one of the oldest radiation of herbivorous lepidosaurs (snakes, lizards and tuatara) characterized by batteries of wide teeth with thick enamel that bear mammal-like wear facets. Unlike most reptiles, eilenodontines have limited tooth replacement, making dental longevity particularly important to them. We use both X-ray and neutron computed tomography to examine a fossil tooth from the eilenodontine Eilenodon (Late Jurassic, USA). Of the two approaches, neutron tomography was more successful and facilitated measurements of enamel thickness and distribution. We find the enamel thickness to be regionally variable, thin near the cusp tip (0.10 mm) but thicker around the base (0.15–0.30 mm) and notably greater than that of other rhynchocephalians such as the extant Sphenodon (0.08–0.14 mm). The thick enamel in Eilenodon would permit greater loading, extend tooth lifespan and facilitate the establishment of wear facets that have sharp edges for orally processing plant material such as horsetails (Equisetum). The shape of the enamel dentine junction indicates that tooth development in Eilenodon and Sphenodon involved similar folding of the epithelium but different ameloblast activity.
Symmetric Confidence Regions and Confidence Intervals for Normal Map Formulations of Stochastic Variational Inequalities
Creators: name: Lu, Shu
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Stochastic variational inequalities (SVI) model a large class of equilibrium problems subject to data uncertainty, and are closely related to stochastic optimization problems. The SVI solution is usually estimated by a solution to a sample average approximation (SAA) problem. This paper considers the normal map formulation of an SVI, and proposes a method to build asymptotically exact confidence regions and confidence intervals for the solution of the normal map formulation, based on the asymptotic distribution of SAA solutions. The confidence regions are single ellipsoids with high probability. We also discuss the computation of simultaneous and individual confidence intervals.

Numerical Implementation of a Space-Transformation Approach for Solving the Three-Dimensional Flow Equation
Creators: name: Hristopulos, Dionissios T.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1998

description: This work is concerned with the numerical implementation of the space-transformation approach in porous media modeling. Space transformation is a mathematical approach that simplifies the study of multidimensional problems by reducing them to unidimensional ones. In particular, the implementation aspects considered in this work include (i) the development and testing of numerical space-transformation algorithms for three-dimensional, space-dependent functions that can be used to model flow within porous media, and (ii) the use of these algorithms to solve partial differential equations governing groundwater flow. We also establish the competitiveness of the space-transformation-based numerical procedures in terms of accuracy and speed. Further improvements in computational speed can be accomplished by parallel implementation of the space-transformation calculations. The space-transformation method is shown to provide a computationally efficient approach for obtaining three-dimensional flow solutions that honor the boundary conditions. This approach can be also used in stochastic flow modeling to generate multiple realizations of the random hydraulic head field.
Negative longitudinal magnetoresistance in Dirac and Weyl metals
Creators: name: Burkov, A. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It has recently been found that Dirac and Weyl metals are characterized by an unusual weak-field longitudinal magnetoresistance: large, negative, and quadratic in the magnetic field. This has been shown to arise from chiral anomaly, i.e. nonconservation of the chiral charge in the presence of external electric and magnetic fields, oriented collinearly. In this paper we report on a theory of this effect in both Dirac and Weyl metals. We demonstrate that this phenomenon contains two important ingredients. One is the magnetic-field-induced coupling between the chiral and the total (or vector, in relativistic field theory terminology) charge densities. This arises from the Berry curvature and is present in principle whenever the Berry curvature is nonzero, i.e. is nonspecific to Dirac and Weyl metals. This coupling, however, leads to a large negative quadratic magnetoresistance only when the second ingredient is present, namely when the chiral charge density is a nearly conserved quantity with a long relaxation time. This property is specific to Dirac and Weyl metals and is realized only when the Fermi energy is close to Dirac or Weyl nodes, expressing an important low-energy property of these materials, emergent chiral symmetry.

title: The Importance of Intramuscular Triglyceride Turnover on Skeletal Muscle Insulin Sensitvity
Creators: name: Barrett, J
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2024

description: High intramuscular triglyceride (IMTG) stores in sedentary, obese and elderly individuals have been linked to insulin resistance, yet elite athletes often have higher amounts of IMTG whilst maintaining a high muscle and whole-body insulin sensitivity. It is now known that a high IMTG content per se does not result in insulin resistance, but is caused, at least in part, by the presence of high muscle concentrations of harmful lipid metabolites, such as diacylglycerols (DAGs) and ceramides. The latter are elevated in obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) (Goodpaster et al., 1997; Pan et al., 1997; Forouhi et al., 1999) in comparison to healthy lean controls. Individuals with T2D demonstrate reduced IMTG turnover rates compared to those that are insulin sensitive and/or well trained. This thesis focuses first on the adaptations that affect IMTG turnover and explores methods in which IMTG utilisation can be targeted in obese individuals to reduce the risk of developing T2D, specifically focussing on the ingestion of an antilipolytic drug combined with exercise, as well as fasted exercise training. Chapter 4 determined that following exposure to high plasma free fatty acids (FFA), GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane is unaltered in both trained and sedentary individuals. Interestingly, we report that in both trained and sedentary individuals GLUT4 expression is higher in both type 1 and type 2 fibres in trained individuals, who have more small GLUT4 spots making up ~97% of total GLUT4 spots. Chapter 5 demonstrated that exercising with reduced plasma FFA via lipolytic inhibition leads to reduced ceramide 20:0 accumulation and an increase in several lactosylceramide species. Chapter 6 demonstrated that targeting IMTG turnover in a 12-week home-based walking programme by exercising in the fasted state (known to lead to greater IMTG utilisation) compared to the fed state made little difference to the effectiveness of the intervention to improve glucose tolerance and reduce HbA1c (~7% FAST, ~2% FED). However, exercising in the fasted state during the programme also reduced alanine transferase concentrations compared to fed state exercise (~16% FAST, ~2% FED). In conclusion, this thesis presents novel data on the differences in insulin signalling in both trained and sedentary individuals. Furthermore, data is presented on the health benefits resulting from interventions in obese individuals that target the use of IMTG stores during exercise, and therefore, result in greater turnover of IMTG stores.

description: We have used the classical Hall effect to electrically characterize Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) films grown by two different techniques on silica substrates. ITO films have the unique property that they can be both electrically conducting (and to be used for a gate electrode for example) as well as optically transparent (at least in the visible part of the spectrum). In the near infrared (NIR) the transmission typically reduces. However, the light absorption can in principle be compensated by growing thinner films.

description: One-dimensional (1D) model of an axisymmetric industrial quenched carbon steel-1045 bar based on finite element method (FEM) has been applied to investigate the influence of process history on its material properties. The lowest hardness point (LHP) and the effect of the radius of the bar on its temperature history and the LHP is determined. In this paper hardness in specimen points was obtained by calculated characteristic cooling time for phase transformation t8/5 to hardness. The model can be employed as a guideline to design cooling approach to achieve desired microstructure and mechanical properties such as hardness. A computer program of the model is developed, which can be used independently or incorporated into a temperature history software named LHP-software to continuously calculate and display temperature history of the industrial quenched steel bar and thereby calculate LHP and to study the effect of radius on temperature history and LHP. The developed program based on 1D FEM model has been verified by comparing its hardness results with experimental results. The comparison indicates its validity and reliability.

description: This article uses propensity scores to evaluate the effect of food stamps on food insecurity, a measure of inadequate food supply. It relies on data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study‐Kindergarten Cohort. By balancing treatment and comparison groups on covariates, the propensity score method adjusts for bias caused by observed variables. This method may be preferable to regression because it does not rely on a linear functional form to adjust for potential confounding variables. Results show that food stamps do not decrease the probability of being food insecure, although they lessen the severity of the problem according to some models. However, propensity scores rely on several stringent assumptions, including the need for a common support region (where two compared groups share the same characteristics) and a properly specified model. Propensity scores should therefore be employed with caution.
title: Project StockDNA; Combining marine eDNA and hydroacoustics to improve the accuracy of pelagic fish monitoring surveys.

description: The vast and dynamic swathes of pelagic ecosystems in the North-East Atlantic house multiple ecologically and economically important fish species. To ensure that humans do not over exploit these fish, and their habitats, multiple routine monitoring surveys take place. These surveys typically involve the use of hydroacoustic echosounders with trawling methods and collect information on the age, sex, size and weight of species that is used in dynamic models to predict changes in the mortality rate and stock size of cohorts of species. Although this method can be used to target pelagic fish, it has difficulty separating fish schools by species, typically requiring trawling validation methods to confirm the identity of the fish. However, trawling does not guarantee a representative catch of the fish schools which can skew the partitioning of hydroacoustic data, resulting in non-valid estimations of pelagic fish populations. Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a tool that has been utilised to detect pelagic fish species and is not impacted by the same bias as trawling. To investigate the use of eDNA to become a “net with no holes”, validating fish schools detected by hydroacoustics, this thesis first aimed to refine the eDNA sampling strategy for marine pelagic fish. By collecting eDNA during routine pelagic hydroacoustic surveys this thesis first demonstrates that the sampling depth and hydrological conditions of the water do not significantly impact the number of pelagic fish species, communities, or the number of eDNA reads. Using these inferences on the eDNA sampling strategy for pelagic fish facilitated further investigations into the temporal utilisation of eDNA sampling for the highly migratory Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT). Whereby surface water eDNA samples were collected from smaller, more cost effective, research vessels from summer to winter. I found that using this method ABT was detected across seasons while also revealing the presence of important potential prey species and marine predators providing useful information for future monitoring surveys. Additionally, the results of this thesis revealed significant correlations between the current trawl-validated and eDNA-validated hydroacoustics of pelagic fish. Fish species that were more abundant and widespread had stronger correlations, yet there were still large variances between species and sample years. Overall, this thesis demonstrates that eDNA can be used to verify the abundance of pelagic fish and suggests that the eDNA methods for validation are more appropriate for specific, high abundant, fish species where the DNA in the water column is more easily detected.

description: Non-minimal matter couplings have recently been considered in the context of massive gravity and multi-gravity. These couplings are free of the Boulware-Deser ghost in the decoupling limit and can thus be considered within an Effective Field Theory setup. Beyond the decoupling limit the ghost was shown to reemerge in the metric formulation of the theory. Recently it was argued that this pathology is absent when formulated in terms of unconstrained vielbeins. We investigate this possibility and show that the Boulware-Deser ghost is always present beyond the decoupling limit in any dimension larger than two. We also show that the metric and vielbein formulations have an identical ghost-free decoupling limit. Finally we extend these arguments to more generic multi-gravity theories and argue that for any dimension larger than two a ghost is also present in the vielbein formulation whenever the symmetric vielbein condition is spoiled and the equivalence with the metric formulation is lost.

description: Full electronic automation in stock exchanges has recently become popular, generating high-frequency intraday data and motivating the development of near real-time price forecasting methods. Machine learning algorithms are widely applied to mid-price stock predictions. Processing raw data as inputs for prediction models (e.g., data thinning and feature engineering) can primarily affect the performance of the prediction methods. However, researchers rarely discuss this topic. This motivated us to propose three novel modelling strategies for processing raw data. We illustrate how our novel modelling strategies improve forecasting performance by analyzing high-frequency data of the Dow Jones 30 component stocks. In these experiments, our strategies often lead to statistically significant improvement in predictions. The three strategies improve the F1 scores of the SVM models by 0.056, 0.087, and 0.016, respectively.

description: Poultry industry is a major component of livestock sector. Heat stress subjects layer as well as broilers to underperform in terms of their efficiency and culminates in considerable economic losses. Neuroendocrine, physiological and behavioral alterations observed in poultry thriving in higher environmental temperatures. Depraved appetite, lower feed intake and nutrient inefficiency results in reduced body weight gains, feed conversion ratios, egg quality and diminished overall health and poultry welfare. Selective breeding, adequate dietary changes and managerial practices are promising mitigation strategies to be adopted and implemented to gain maximum benefits from poultry industry.
EXPRESSION OF RELIGIOUS VALUES IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK PAREMIOLOGY

description: This thesis deals with a structural-semantic analysis of the language structure of English proverbs. At the same time, the ponder of all perspectives of sayings is one of the most important assignments in the field of paremiology. When examining the comparative perspectives of sayings, it is incomprehensible not to center on their linguocultural aspects. In this way, we attempt to see the similitudes and contrasts between the proverbs within the dialects we are studying, the one-of-a-kind culture, and the attitude of the individuals who speak that language.

description: Eilenodontines are one of the oldest radiation of herbivorous lepidosaurs (snakes, lizards and tuatara) characterized by batteries of wide teeth with thick enamel that bear mammal-like wear facets. Unlike most reptiles, eilenodontines have limited tooth replacement, making dental longevity particularly important to them. We use both X-ray and neutron computed tomography to examine a fossil tooth from the eilenodontine Eilenodon (Late Jurassic, USA). Of the two approaches, neutron tomography was more successful and facilitated measurements of enamel thickness and distribution. We find the enamel thickness to be regionally variable, thin near the cusp tip (0.10 mm) but thicker around the base (0.15–0.30 mm) and notably greater than that of other rhynchocephalians such as the extant Sphenodon (0.08–0.14 mm). The thick enamel in Eilenodon would permit greater loading, extend tooth lifespan and facilitate the establishment of wear facets that have sharp edges for orally processing plant material such as horsetails (Equisetum). The shape of the enamel dentine junction indicates that tooth development in Eilenodon and Sphenodon involved similar folding of the epithelium but different ameloblast activity.

Εξαιτίας αυτού, κατά καιρούς, έχουν αναπτυχθεί διάφορα μοντέλα για την κατανόηση και ανάλυση των αναγκών των πελατών. Μια ευρέως διαδεδομένη προσέγγιση, είναι το μοντέλο Kano. Πρόκειται για μία, κυρίως, ποιοτική περιγραφή των σχέσεων μεταξύ της εκπλήρωσης των απαιτήσεων του πελάτη και της ικανοποίησης του. Ακριβώς επειδή το μοντέλο περιορίζεται σε ποιοτικές περιγραφές, καθίσταται ελλιπές για την ακριβή απόδοση του βαθμού ικανοποίησης των πελατών. Για το λόγο αυτό, ερευνητές έχουν προτείνει διαφορετικές προσεγγίσεις για επέκταση του μοντέλου σε ποσοτική ανάλυση.

Towards a quantum standard for absolute pressure measurements
Creators: name: Pascal, Gambette
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Pressure measurement plays a critical role in many scientific and industrial fields. A recent example concerns the measurements of the Boltzmann constant performed for the redefinition of kelvin. These measurements require knowledge of temperature and pressure at the highest level of accuracy. In the aerospace industry, pressure provides altitude and speed. In the nuclear industry, an excellent knowledge of the pressure is essential to ensure the safe operation of the power stations. There is thus strong demand from industry and metrology laboratories for an improvement in calibration uncertainties in the range of 200 Pa to 2·104 Pa (from 0.002 atm to 0.2 atm). The accuracy of the measurements requires that they be traceable to a primary standard. The principle of the proposed new standard is based on the measurement of refractive index of helium gas as a function of pressure and temperature and on ab initio calculations of its thermophysical. After years of effort worldwide, the latter have now reached a previously unmatched level of accuracy. The aim of this project is to develop a new calibration bench for low pressures. The work will take advantage of the recent metrological advances made by the LCM-LNE-CNAM on microwave cavities allowing pressure measurements to be traceable to frequency. This fact will greatly reduce uncertainties. The system will be designed to be easily transportable to facilitate inter-laboratory comparisons.
