description: Is publishing an open-access journal good business? And for whom? Many in the academic community agree that the goal of open access—increasing the availability and usability of the results of research and scholarship—is laudable. Yet there is great uncertainty about the financial viability of open-access journals. Will authors have to pay publication fees out of their own pockets? Can universities afford to support open-access journals? Can respected journals convert to open access and survive? The panelists consider which models hold the most promise for sustainable open-access publishing.

Scaling relation for determining the critical threshold for continuum percolation of overlapping discs of two sizes
Creators: name: Balram, Ajit C.

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We study continuum percolation of overlapping circular discs of two sizes. We propose a phenomenological scaling equation for the increase in the effective size of the larger discs due to the presence of the smaller discs. The critical percolation threshold as a function of the ratio of sizes of discs, for different values of the relative areal densities of two discs, can be described in terms of a scaling function of only one variable. The recent accurate Monte Carlo estimates of critical threshold by Quintanilla and Ziff [Phys. Rev. E, 76 051115 (2007)] are in very good agreement with the proposed scaling relation.

description: We demonstrate that abundant quantities of short-lived beta unstable ions can be trapped in a novel transparent Paul trap and that their decay products can directly be detected in coincidence. Low energy 6He+ (807 ms half-life) ions were extracted from the SPIRAL source at GANIL, then decelerated, cooled and bunched by means of the buffer gas cooling technique. More than 10^8 ions have been stored over a measuring period of six days and about 10^5 decay coincidences between the beta particles and the 6Li^{++} recoiling ions have been recorded. The technique can be extended to other short-lived species, opening new possibilities for trap assisted decay experiments.

Environmental processes affecting the temporal and spatial variabilities of snowmelt in the Ben Lomond ski field area, Tasmania
Creators: name: Faulkner, PS
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Studies were pursued in the snowfields of Ben Lomond in north-eastern Tasmania to establish the environmental factors affecting snowmelt. The approach through temporal and spatial analysis of ablation, was built upon a five year study of the climate which commenced in 1981. This was accompanied by an intensive measurement period in July to October, 1986. Climatic results indicated that the highest and most consistent rates of snowmelt were associated with a mean rise in the daily air temperature and a reduction in snowfall days towards the end of September. The days of strongest melt were most commonly accompanied by northwesterly winds generating regional advection. As the snowfield boundaries decreased, local advective forces enhanced heat available for melt. The three dominant terms in the energy balance over snow were, in order of importance, net radiation, sensible and latent heat. Other, terms investigated, including heat from rain, the ground and internal energy, were of minor significance in providing energy for melt. The importance of any one term was observed to depend upon the prevailing synoptic situation. The seasonal changes in the energy balance were reflected in temporal variations in snowmelt. The spatial variability in snowmelt was not adequately described by variations in the energy balance. The differences could be explained by local characteristics in groundcover and topography. Snow melted most slowly in grassed gullies lying under steep southward facing slopes above an altitude of 1500 metres. Within the study area, the rock domes and ridges which had the most easterly aspect and were below 1500 metres lost their snowcover first.
The self report of everyday memory deterioration in neurologically impaired subjects : reliability and validity
Creators: name: Fourez, John R
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The present study investigated the reliability and validity of neurologically impaired patients' ability to report on the deterioration in their everyday memory. In order to do so, a thirty-five item questionnaire, the Metamemory Change Questionnaire (M.M. C. Q.), was constructed and subjects' responses were validated against their performance on the Wechsler Memory Scale (W .M. S.), an objective index of memory deterioration, and a close relative's ratings concerning the patient's memory problems. Forty one outpatients with confirmed neurological conditions were selected according to a set of inclusion criteria. Each subject endorsed the M.M.C.Q. twice in order to determine the questionnaire reliability, and they were also required to indicate their overall perception of change on a single five point Likert scale. On the second occasion, he/she was also administered the W.N.S. and the National Adult Reading Test. An index of deterioration was then calculated by comparing his current memory quotient to his estimated premorbid verbal I.Q.. At that stage a relative was also requested to independently endorse the N.M.C.Q. according to that person's perception of the patient. The data obtained from these various measures were then subjected to correlation analyses. The M.M.C.Q. was found to be a very reliable instrument, and good agreement was obtained between the patients' and relatives' estimates of the subjects' memory deterioration. Its relationship to the I.Q. minus M.Q. index of deterioration was, however, dependent on the severity of the respondent's memory impairment. Thus the magnitude of correlations between subjective reports and test performance was substantially greater in the more severely affected subjects. A similar pattern of results was obtained with the simple overall rating scale, so that the relative merits of using the entire M. M. C. Q. over that global judgement will require further investigation. The results of this study are interpreted as suggesting that more severe memory impairment is associated with more accurate self report of deterioration. Alternative explanations are discussed and suggestions for further research offered.

description: In today's networked digital environment, is the peer review system the best way to recognize quality research and scholarship? Scholars have come to rely on peer review to ensure that the research they publish is valid--that the conclusions are justified by the data and that the ideas presented are new and important. However, peer review requires unbiased experts--people in the same field as the author who can support the publication of research that meets these criteria. Is there really such a thing as an unbiased expert? Does peer review need fixing? And if so, how should changes to the system be evaluated? The featured speaker is Dr. Vivian Siegel, Research Professor of Medicine and Cell and Developmental Biology at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Siegel directs the Center for Science Communication at Vanderbilt University. She has been the editor of the scholarly journals Cell and Developmental Cell, was the Founding Executive Director of the Public Library of Science (PLoS), and was one of the launch editors of PLoS Biology.

Electrical, Optical, and Thermal Properties of Nanostructures
Creators: name: Troy, William
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This work presents the findings on the electrical, optical, and thermal properties of nanostructures and how they can be both characterized and used in various applications across nanotechnology from remote intracellular manipulation and biological diagnostics to spontaneous polarization and quantum devices. These findings include solutions to non-Fourier heat transport problems in both inorganics and organics, Raman and PL spectroscopy for the characterization of NCSiNWs, interactions between manmade nanostructures and biologicals, spontaneous polarization models in multiple dimensions which do not assume periodic boundary conditions which lead to the realization that nanostructures can have much greater spontaneous polarization than their bulk counterparts, plasmonic based diagnostics for human colon cancer, and the effects of quantum confinement on phonons and biexciton decoherence in QDs based quantum devices. With the two major investigations being the modelling of laser interactions with nanocrystalline silicon nanowires within cells and the creation of simplistic spontaneous polarization models and how the spontaneous polarization of a lattice can change greatly at nanoscale. In the first major investigation it is investigated as to why when a laser is shined on human and rat cells which contain nanocrystalline silicon nanowires, which were internalized through phagocytosis, one can see a wide range of effects from neuronal excitement to intracellular calcium increases and manipulation of cytoskeletal structures. In which possible causes that were investigated include electromagnetic, photoacoustic, and photothermal interactions between the laser, manmade nanostructures, and cells. To further model these interactions novel solutions to non-Fourier heat transport equations were created with various boundary conditions, including imperfect thermal contacts. After which it was deemed that the photothermal effect was the most likely cause of the cellular manipulations seen experimentally. In the second major investigation the effects of nanoscale on wurtzite lattices were investigated with regards to their spontaneous polarization. In this investigation it was discovered how one can accurately model spontaneous polarization through easy-to-use methods which one can perform with a pencil and paper, rather than the highly complex ab-initio Density Functional Theory based methods which require great computational power and knowledge on ab-initio based methods. From this it was discovered that the spontaneous polarization of nanostructures, such as quantum wells and quantum dots, can be multiple times greater than that of their bulk counterparts.

description: Workflow management systems allow the users to develop complex applications at a higher level, by orchestrating functional components without handling the implementation details. Although a wide range of workflow engines are developed in enterprise environments, the open source engines available for scientific applications lack some functionalities or are too difficult to use for non-specialists. Our purpose is to develop a workflow management platform for distributed systems, that will provide features like an intuitive way to describe workflows, efficient data handling mechanisms and flexible fault tolerance support. We introduce here an architectural model for the workflow platform, based on the ActiveBPEL workflow engine, which we propose to augment with an additional set of components.
Impairment of self-monitoring and vigilance in alcoholics
Creators: name: Hamer, P
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Self monitoring seems to depend on appropriate memory and attention processes. In chronic alcoholics these processes may be impaired due to neural pathology. Therefore, chronic alcoholics may be impaired in self-monitoring abilities. This hypothesis was tested using 19 chronic alcoholiagnc subjects matched for age, gender (16 males and 3 females), and socio-economic status with 19 non-alcoholic subjects. Two experimental tasks were (a) self-monitoring arm-lifting behaviour and (b) a VDU-based vigilance task, each with two levels of disction. Subjects responded via a hand-held push-button, and all data was automatically collected via computer. All subjects were assessed with the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test and the Austin Maze test prior to the experiment. The hypotheses were that alcoholics would be more impaired at both experimental tasks than controls, and that there would be a further impairment due to the effect of the higher level of distraction for the alcoholics. The main hypothesis received some support in that the alcoholics showed impairment on self-monitoring compared to controls, were poorer at self-monitoring than vigilance, and were further impaired during the higher distraction level. The control group however did not find the self-monitoring task more difficult than the vigilance task, although they were poorer on both tasks under the higher level of distraction. The alcoholic group was significantly impaired in performance of RAVLT and Austin Maze test compared to controls. Results are discussed in relation to possible memory and attention deficits and how these relate to pathology in various diencephalic regions. Methodological weaknesses in the experiment are discussed, an improved design is suggested, and clinical implications relating to remediation and recovery of function are examined in the light of recent research.
The nature of the young and low-mass open clusters Pismis5, vdB80, NGC1931 and BDSB96

description: We investigate the nature of 4 young and low-mass open clusters (OCs) located in the $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ quadrants with near-IR 2MASS photometry (errors $<0.1$ mag). After field decontamination, the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) display similar morphologies: a poorly-populated main sequence (MS) and a dominant fraction of pre-MS (PMS) stars somewhat affected by differential reddening. Pismis 5, vdB 80 and BDSB 96 have MS ages within $5\pm4$ Myr, while the MS of NGC 1931 is $10\pm3$ Myr old. However, non-instantaneous star formation is implied by the wider ($\sim20$ Myr) PMS age spread. The cluster masses derived from MS + PMS stars are low, within $\sim60-180 \ms$, with mass functions (MFs) significantly flatter than Salpeter's initial mass function (IMF). Distances from the Sun are within $1.0-2.4$ kpc, and the visual absorptions are in the range $\aV=1.0-2.0$. From the stellar radial density profiles (RDPs), we find that they are small ($\rc\la0.48$ pc, $\rl\la5.8$ pc), especially Pismis 5 with $\rc\approx0.2$ pc and $\rl\approx1.8$ pc. Except for the irregular and cuspy inner regions of NGC 1931 and Pismis 5, the stellar RDPs follow a King-like profile. At $\sim10$ Myr, central cusps - which in old clusters appear to be related to advanced dynamical evolution - are probably associated with a star-formation and/or molecular cloud fragmentation effect. Despite the flat MFs, vdB 80 and BDSB 96 appear to be typical young, low-mass OCs. NGC 1931 and especially Pismis 5, with irregular RDPs, low cluster mass and flat MFs, do not appear to be in dynamical equilibrium. Both may be evolving into OB associations and/or doomed to dissolution in a few $10^7$ yr.

description: Spinodal instabilities and early growth of baryon density fluctuations in symmetric nuclear matter are investigated in the basis of stochastic extension of relativistic mean-field approach in the semi-classical approximation. Calculations are compared with the results of non-relativistic calculations based on Skyrme-type effective interactions under similar conditions. A qualitative difference appears in the unstable response of the system: the system exhibits most unstable behavior at higher baryon densities around $ρ_{b}=0.4 ~ρ_{0}$ in the relativistic approach while most unstable behavior occurs at lower baryon densities around $ρ_{b}=0.2 ~ρ_{0}$ in the non-relativistic calculations

description: Through the introduction of a class of trial wave functions portraying combined rotations and vibrations of molecules formed through particle localization in concentric polygonal rings, a correlated basis is constructed that spans the translationally invariant part of the lower-Landau-level (LLL) spectra. These trial functions, referred to as rovibrational molecular (RVM) functions, generalize our previous work which focused exclusively on electronic cusp states, describing them as pure vibrationless rotations. From a computational viewpoint, the RVM correlated basis enables controlled and systematic improvements of the original strongly-correlated variational wave function. Conceptually, it provides the basis for the development of a quantal molecular description for the full LLL spectra. This quantal molecular description is universal, being valid for both bosons and fermions, for both the yrast and excited states of the LLL spectra, and for both low and high angular momenta. Furthermore, it follows that all other translationally invariant trial functions (e.g., the Jastrow-Laughlin, compact composite-fermion, or Moore-Read functions) are reducible to a description in terms of an excited rotating/vibrating quantal molecule.

Superplasticity in the cadmium-lead system
Creators: name: Donaldson, Kenneth Cromwell
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Several appropriately treated alloys (Pb-6.5vol.%Cd, Pb-28vol.%Cd, Cd-6vol.%Pb and Zn-lwt.%Al) were investigated for their superplastic properties, and documented in terms of three-stage strain rate sensitivity curves in which stage II, the region of maximum superplasticity, was of prime interest. The investigation included analysis of: creep and tensile test data, surface deformation markings, activation energy tests and Instron inferences of a "backstress". The rate controlling and prime strain-producing process in stage II was identified to be diffusional grain boundary sliding with slip accommodation at triple lines. Several interpretations were feasible for stage I, all involving processes concurrent with, and dependent on, grain boundary sliding. Stage III was identified as "normal" coarse-grained creep (adapted to permit considerable recovery in the vicinity of grain boundaries), operating independently of superplastic processes, and dominating at high flow stresses and strain rates.

description: Recent experimental studies of living neural networks reveal that their global activation induced by electrical stimulation can be explained using the concept of bootstrap percolation on a directed random network. The experiment consists in activating externally an initial random fraction of the neurons and observe the process of firing until its equilibrium. The final portion of neurons that are active depends in a non linear way on the initial fraction. The main result of this paper is a theorem which enables us to find the asymptotic of final proportion of the fired neurons in the case of random directed graphs with given node degrees as the model for interacting network. This gives a rigorous mathematical proof of a phenomena observed by physicists in neural networks.

description: We combine Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray data from our previous papers with new X-ray observations and with Spitzer mid-infrared data in order to study the nature of the nuclei of radio galaxies and radio-loud quasars with z<1.0 from the 3CRR sample. The significant increase in sample size over our previous work, the reduction of bias in the sample as a result of new observations, and the availability of more mid-infrared data allow us to show conclusively that almost all objects classed as low-excitation radio galaxies in optical spectroscopic studies lack a radiatively efficient active nucleus. We show that the distribution of absorbing columns in the narrow-line radio galaxies differs from the population of X-ray-selected radio-quiet type-2 quasars and from that in local Seyfert 2s. We comment on the current evidence for the nature of the soft X-ray component in radio-galaxy nuclear spectra, concluding that a jet origin for this component is very hard to evade. Finally, we discuss the recently discovered `fundamental plane' of black hole activity, showing that care must be taken when placing radio-loud AGN on such diagnostic diagrams.

description: Today's research and scholarship is data- and information-intensive, distributed, interdisciplinary, and collaborative. However, the scholarly practices, products, and sources of data vary widely between disciplines. Some fields are more advantaged than others by the array of content now online and by the tools and services available to make use of that content. UCLA Professor of Information Studies Christine Borgman provides an overview of new developments in scholarly information infrastructure, including policy issues such as open access and intellectual property, and addresses the implications of e-science for cyberlearning.
Association of Neighborhood Context with 6-Year Change in Metabolic Syndrome: Results from HCHS/SOL

description: The effects of ecological factors (i.e., racial/ethnic segregation and neighborhood change processes) on metabolic health are understudied and mixed among diverse Hispanic/Latino populations. In the U.S., 35% of Hispanic/Latino adults have metabolic syndrome (Heiss et al., 2014). However, the unique effects of the segregation, and neighborhood change processes on metabolic health are not well understood for this population. Therefore, this dissertation aimed to examine the independent associations between (1) two dimensions of segregation—isolation and evenness, (2) gentrification, (3) income inequality trajectory and 6-year incidence metabolic syndrome and how these associations were modified by Hispanic/Latino background and acculturation (e.g., preferred language of interview, nativity combined with years in the US). We utilized data from data 6,857 adults enrolled in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). We conducted logistics regressions to estimate odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals for the role of each neighborhood characteristic on metabolic syndrome development, adjusting for a priori selected covariates. In Aim 1, we found that isolation (OR, 95% CI), but not evenness (OR, 95% CI), was associated with increased odds of metabolic syndrome and associations were not modified by language or Hispanic/Latino background. In Aim 2 and 3, respectively, we found no association between the independent relationships of gentrification, income inequality trajectory and odds of metabolic syndrome at 6 years. Similarly, these associations were not modified by language and Hispanic/Latino background. The current study is the first to document the role that various dimensions of segregation and neighborhood change processes have on incidence of metabolic syndrome in a diverse sample of Hispanic/Latino adults. This research has wide implications for understanding the mechanisms that underlie the link between residential segregation and metabolic health among Hispanic/Latino of diverse background.
