description: Based on data from a 2005 survey conducted in Shanghai, China, this research examines the role of social capital in income inequality between rural migrants and urbanites. We find strong income return on social capital, in particular on social capital from strong ties. We also observe a great disparity in social capital possession between rural migrants and urban local residents. Although social capital from strong ties seems to be more important for rural migrants than for urbanites, local ties and high-status ties do not seem to benefit rural migrants. Hence, migrants not only suffer severe social capital deficits but also capital return deficits. Given the strong income returns on social capital and the substantial differences in access to and return on social capital between migrants and urban residents, social capital is consequently found to explain a large part of the income inequality between the two groups. Overall, our findings reveal macro-structural effects on the role of social capital in labor market stratification. In China, the lack of formal labor market mechanisms continues to create both a strong need for and opportunities for economic actions to be organized around informal channels via social relations. Yet, the long-standing institutional exclusion of migrants caused by the household registration system has resulted in pervasive social exclusion and discrimination which have substantially limited rural migrants’ accumulation and mobilization of social capital. Under these conditions, social capital reinforces the economic inequality between migrants and urban residents in China. Such empirical evidence adds to our understanding of the role of social capital in the economic integration of migrants and in shaping intergroup inequality in general.

description: Abstract. Subrosion is the subsurface leaching of soluble rocks that results in the formation of depression and collapse structures. This global phenomenon is a geohazard in urban areas. To study near-surface subrosion structures, four shear-wave seismic reflection profiles, with a total length of ca. 332m, were carried out around the famous leaning church tower of Bad Frankenhausen in northern Thuringia, Germany, which shows an inclination of 4.93° from the vertical. Most of the geological underground of Thuringia is characterized by soluble Permian deposits, and the Kyffhäuser Southern Margin Fault is assumed to be a main pathway for water to leach the evaporite. The seismic profiles were acquired with the horizontal micro-vibrator ELVIS, developed at Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG), and a 72m long landstreamer equipped with 72 horizontal geophones. The high-resolution seismic sections show subrosion-induced structures to a depth of ca. 100m and reveal five features associated with the leaching of Permian deposits: (1) lateral and vertical varying reflection patterns caused by strongly heterogeneous strata, (2) discontinuous reflectors, small offsets, and faults, which show the underground is heavily fractured, (3) formation of depression structures in the near-surface, (4) diffractions in the unmigrated seismic sections that indicate increased scattering of the seismic waves, and (5) varying seismic velocities and low-velocity zones that are presumably caused by fractures and upward-migrating cavities. A previously undiscovered southward-dipping listric normal fault was also found, to the north of the church. It probably serves as a pathway for water to leach the Permian formations below the church and causes the tilting of the church tower. This case study shows the potential of horizontal shear-wave seismic reflection to image near-surface subrosion structures in an urban environment with a horizontal resolution of less than 1m in the uppermost 10–15m.

description: We introduce multilevel versions of Dyson Brownian motions of arbitrary parameter $β>0$, generalizing the interlacing reflected Brownian motions of Warren for $β=2$. Such processes unify $β$ corners processes and Dyson Brownian motions in a single object. Our approach is based on the approximation by certain multilevel discrete Markov chains of independent interest, which are defined by means of Jack symmetric polynomials. In particular, this approach allows to show that the levels in a multilevel Dyson Brownian motion are intertwined (at least for $β\ge 1$) and to give the corresponding link explicitly.

Subjects: subject: South Asians

description: Previous studies show migrants are generally healthier than the populations in receiving societies, a result generally attributed to the positive selection of migrants on health. This hypothesis, however, has not been adequately evaluated due to lack of adequate data. In this article, using high-quality longitudinal data from Indonesia, the health selectivity hypothesis, also referred to as the healthy migrant hypothesis, is examined with respect to internal migration. Specifically, this study explores whether pre-migration health status affects the likelihood of migration by comparing those from the sending population who do and do not move. Results show that migrants in Indonesia tend to be selected with respect to health and that this selection is robust to household unobserved heterogeneity. However, the strength and direction of the health–migration association vary by types of migration and dimensions of health.
Trends in HIV/AIDS morbidity and mortality in Eastern Mediterranean countries, 1990–2015: findings from the Global Burden of Disease 2015 study

Subjects: Social determinants of health

description: Objectives: We used the results of the Global Burden of Disease 2015 study to estimate trends of HIV/AIDS burden in Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) countries between 1990 and 2015. Methods: Tailored estimation methods were used to produce final estimates of mortality. Years of life lost (YLLs) were calculated by multiplying the mortality rate by population by age-specific life expectancy. Years lived with disability (YLDs) were computed as the prevalence of a sequela multiplied by its disability weight. Results: In 2015, the rate of HIV/AIDS deaths in the EMR was 1.8 (1.4–2.5) per 100,000 population, a 43% increase from 1990 (0.3; 0.2–0.8). Consequently, the rate of YLLs due to HIV/AIDS increased from 15.3 (7.6–36.2) per 100,000 in 1990 to 81.9 (65.3–114.4) in 2015. The rate of YLDs increased from 1.3 (0.6–3.1) in 1990 to 4.4 (2.7–6.6) in 2015. Conclusions: HIV/AIDS morbidity and mortality increased in the EMR since 1990. To reverse this trend and achieve epidemic control, EMR countries should strengthen HIV surveillance, and scale up HIV antiretroviral therapy and comprehensive prevention services.

description: We present the discovery of CoRoT 223992193, a double-lined, detached eclipsing binary, comprising two pre-main sequence M dwarfs, discovered by the CoRoT space mission during a 23-day observation of the 3 Myr old NGC 2264 star-forming region. Using multi-epoch optical and near-IR follow-up spectroscopy with FLAMES on the Very Large Telescope and ISIS on the William Herschel Telescope we obtain a full orbital solution and derive the fundamental parameters of both stars by modelling the light curve and radial velocity data. The orbit is circular and has a period of $3.8745745 \pm 0.0000014$ days. The masses and radii of the two stars are $0.67 \pm 0.01$ and $0.495 \pm 0.007$ $M_{\odot}$ and $1.30 \pm 0.04$ and $1.11 ~^{+0.04}_{-0.05}$ $R_{\odot}$, respectively. This system is a useful test of evolutionary models of young low-mass stars, as it lies in a region of parameter space where observational constraints are scarce; comparison with these models indicates an apparent age of $\sim$3.5-6 Myr. The systemic velocity is within $1σ$ of the cluster value which, along with the presence of lithium absorption, strongly indicates cluster membership. The CoRoT light curve also contains large-amplitude, rapidly evolving out-of-eclipse variations, which are difficult to explain using starspots alone. The system's spectral energy distribution reveals a mid-infrared excess, which we model as thermal emission from a small amount of dust located in the inner cavity of a circumbinary disk. In turn, this opens up the possibility that some of the out-of-eclipse variability could be due to occultations of the central stars by material located at the inner edge or in the central cavity of the circumbinary disk.

Rural-urban Migration and Health: Evidence from Longitudinal Data in Indonesia

description: Previous studies on the impact of migration on health often face the difficulties of choosing the proper comparison group and addressing potential selection of migration. Using longitudinal data for 1997 and 2000 from Indonesia, this paper examines the effect of rural-urban migration on physical and psychological health, by (1) comparing the health of migrants with that of the appropriate group of comparison, people who remained in rural origins, and (2) studying health both prior to and after migration to adjust for possible selection bias. The research further explores various socioeconomic, psychosocial, and behavioral pathways mediating the migration effect. Results show that rural-urban labor migration increased the risk of psychological disorder as measured by depressive symptoms. This was largely a result of reduced social support due to family disruption, because the deleterious effect was particularly strong for migrants who moved alone and was negligible for migrants moving with family members. In contrast, migration had little impact on physical health in the medium term. This was largely attributed to the multiple offsetting influences of migration: migration improved economic status and living standards but led to increased work-related stressors and barriers to health utilization. In addition, despite earning higher income, migrants tend to underconsume and remit a large amount of earnings to original families, which hindered potential health gains from improved economic well-being.
Sibship Size, Family Organization, and Education in South Africa: Black-White Variations

description: Recent studies suggest that the generally observed negative sibship size effect on education is much less consistent in developing nations. Using data from a national survey in the early 1990s, this study assesses the effect of number of siblings on education in South Africa for two major population groups with distinctive cultural customs, Whites and Blacks. A negative effect exists for Whites, who have adopted a Western nuclear family system, whereas no effect is shown for Blacks, whose family life operates under extended family arrangements. Several sensitivity analyses suggest that the lack of a sibship size effect for Blacks can be partly explained by their extended family arrangements, in which the responsibilities and financial costs of raising children are shared across a wide circle of relatives. The study further addresses the longstanding debate as to whether the link between sibship size and education is contaminated by endogeneity and a confounding birth order effect. Results suggest that the sibship size effect is not an artifact of the interactive birth order effect. However, the observed negative effect for Whites tends to be exaggerated by endogenous factors – mostly likely parental quality–quantity calculation – a pattern found in several other industrialized societies that conform to western values of childbearing.

description: Comparative research on international migration has increasingly focused on immigrant integration rather than the process of emigration. By investigating the different streams of Chinese migration to the United States and Europe, as well as the different stages of Chinese migration to the United States, this study examines the way in which both receiving and sending contexts combine to shape the process of emigration. Using data from a 2002–2003 survey of emigration from China's Fujian Province, we demonstrate that under restrictive exit and entry policies and high barriers to migration (i.e., clandestine migration from Fuzhou to the United States), resources such as migrant social capital, political capital (cadre resources), and human capital all play a crucial role in the emigration process. However, the roles of these resources in the migration process are limited when migration barriers are sufficiently low and when local governments adopt proactive policies promoting emigration (i.e., legal migration from Mingxi to Europe). Comparisons over time suggest that the importance of migrant social capital, political capital, and human capital has strongly persisted for Fuzhou-US emigration, as a result of tightening exit and entry policies. Despite these marked differences between Fuzhou and Mingxi emigration, the results also point to two general processes that are highly consistent across settings and over time—the cumulative causation of migration and the advantage conferred by traditional positional power (cadre status).

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.

description: New photometric, spectroscopic, and eclipse timing observations of the eclipsing binary star HP Aur allow for very accurate orbital determinations, even in the presence of a third body and transient starspot activity. The eclipsing binary masses are determined to an accuracy of +/-0.4% and the radii to +/-0.6%. The masses are 0.9543 +/- 0.0041 and 0.8094 +/- 0.0036 solar masses, and the radii are 1.0278 +/- 0.0042 and 0.7758 +/- 0.0034 solar radii, respectively. The orbital period in the outer orbit is accurately known for the first time - 4.332 +/- 0.011 years. A comparison with current theories of stellar evolution show that the components absolute properties can be well-matched by the current models at an age of about 7 billion years.
Impact of patient's health-related quality of life on physicians' therapy and perceived benefit in acute coronary syndromes: Protocol for a systemic review of quantitative and qualitative studies

description: Introduction Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) and coronary angiography are two of the treatments administered to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. However, whether and how patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) influences treatment decisions and subsequent risk benefit analyses is unclear. In this study, we will review the available evidence on the impact of patients' HRQoL on physicians' prescribing or treatment decisions and on the estimation of mortality and bleeding risk in ACS patients. Methods and analysis We will undertake a systematic review of all quantitative and qualitative studies. The search will include studies that describe the impact of HRQoL on prescribing PCIs or angiography, and impact of HRQoL on perceived risks in terms of mortality and bleeding events. We will conduct an initial search on Google scholar and MEDLINE to build the searching terms followed by a full search strategy using all identified keywords and index terms across the five databases, namely MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, SCOPUS and Web of Sciences. We will use the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for protocol guidelines to present the protocol. Only English language articles will be included for the review. We will use a standardised Joanna Briggs Institute data extraction tool to synthesise the information extracted from the selected studies into themes with summary findings presented in a table. Ethics and dissemination We will not require a formal ethical approval as we will not be collecting primary data. Review findings will be disseminated through a peer-reviewed publication, workshops, conference presentations and a media release.

description: We have combined two low-threshold detector technologies to develop a large-mass, low-threshold detector system that simultaneously measures the athermal phonons in a sapphire detector while an adjacent silicon high-voltage detector detects the scintillation light from the sapphire detector. This detector system could provide event-by-event discrimination between electron and nuclear events due to the difference in their scintillation light yield. While such systems with simultaneous phonon and light detection have been demonstrated earlier with smaller detectors, our system is designed to provide a large detector mass with high amplification for the limited scintillation light. Future work will focus on at least an order of magnitude improvement in the light collection efficiency by having a highly reflective detector housing and custom phonon mask design to maximize light collection by the silicon high-voltage detector.

description: This paper extends previous work on family structure and children’s education by conceptualizing migration as a distinct form of family disruption that reduces parental input but brings substantial economic benefits through remittances. It examines the multiple and countervailing effects of migration on schooling in the context of substantial migration and limited educational opportunities for blacks in South Africa. The receipt of remittances substantially increases black children’s school attendance, but has no such effect for whites. The effect for blacks is in part attributable to improved household economic conditions that increase household educational spending and reduce the demand for child labor. We also find a negative effect of parental absence due to migration, but it is largely cushioned by inflows of remittances. Sensitivity analyses using propensity score methods and contextual fixed-effect modeling suggest that the beneficial effect of remittances is relatively robust. We find further that remittances help ameliorate inter-familial socioeconomic inequality in schooling. Finally, we evaluate possible temporal changes and show that the positive and equalizing effects of remittances persisted during and after the apartheid regime. We conclude that labor migration and remittances, as institutionalized family strategies adopted by many blacks, help reconfigure structural opportunities in the educational stratification process in South Africa.
Configurations of Bounded and Free-floating Planets in Very Young Open Clusters

description: Open clusters(OCs) are usually young and suitable for studying the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Hitherto, only four planets have been found with radial velocity measurements in OCs. Meanwhile, a lot of free-floating planets(FFPs) have been detected. We utilize N-body simulations to investigate the evolution and final configurations of multi-planetary systems in very young open clusters with an age <10 Myr. After an evolution of 10 Myr, 61%-72% of the planets remain bounded and more than 55% of the planetary systems will maintain their initial orbital configurations. For systems with one planet ejected, more than 25% of them have the surviving planets in misaligned orbits. In the clusters, the fraction of planetary systems with misalignment is > 6%, and only 1% have planets in retrograde orbits. We also obtain a positive correlation between the survival planet number and the distance from the cluster center $r$: planetary systems with a larger $r$ tend to be more stable. Moreover, stars with a mass >2.5 $M_\odot$ are likely unstable and lose their planets. These results are roughly consistent with current observations. Planetary systems in binaries are less stable and we achieve a rough criterion: most of the binary systems with $a_{\rm b}(1-e_{\rm b}^2)$>100 AU can keep all the initial planets survived. Finally, 80% of the FFPs are ejected out of the clusters, while the rest (~20%) still stay in host clusters and most of them are concentrated in the center (<2 pc).

description: In this work, we present the stability theory for inhomogeneous fluids subjected to standing acoustic fields. Starting from the first principles, the stability criterion is established for two fluids of different acoustic impedance separated by a plane interface. Through stability theory and numerical simulations we show that, in the presence of interfacial tension, the relocation of high-impedance fluid from anti-node to node occurs when the acoustic force overcomes interfacial tension force, which is in agreement with recent microchannel experiments. Furthermore, we establish an acoustic Bond number that characterizes stable (Bo_a < 1) and relocation (Bo_a > 1) regimes. Remarkably, it is found that the critical acoustic energy density required for relocation can be significantly reduced by increasing the channel height which could help design acoustofluidic microchannel devices that handle immiscible fluids.

description: Experiments have shown that elasticity of disordered filamentous networks with compliant crosslinks is very different from networks with rigid crosslinks. Here, we model and analyze filamentous networks as a collection of randomly oriented rigid filaments connected to each other by flexible crosslinks that are modeled as worm-like chains. For relatively large extensions we allow for enthalpic stretching of crosslinks' backbones. We show that for sufficiently high crosslink density, the network linear elastic response is affine on the scale of the filaments' length. The nonlinear regime can become highly nonaffine and is characterized by a divergence of the elastic modulus at finite strain. In contrast to the prior predictions, we do not find an asymptotic regime in which the differential elastic modulus scales linearly with the stress, although an approximate linear dependence can be seen in a transition from entropic to enthalpic regimes. We discuss our results in light of the recent experiments.

description: We have argued that the capture-zone distribution (CZD) in submonolayer growth can be well described by the generalized Wigner distribution (GWD) $P(s)=a s^β\exp(-b s^2)$, where $s$ is the CZ area divided by its average value. This approach offers arguably the best method to find the critical nucleus size $i$, since $β\approx i + 2$. Various analytical and numerical investigations, which we discuss, show that the simple GWD expression is inadequate in the tails of the distribution, it does account well for the central regime $0.5 < s < 2$, where the data is sufficiently large to be reliably accessible experimentally. We summarize and catalog the many experiments in which this method has been applied.

description: What does it mean to be part of a pioneering group or a group of early adopters? This article examines this question by considering the case of digital art. Through in-depth interviews, I explore Bruce Wands’ role as an early adopter of computer art and I document his extensive role in creating and developing computer art education since the early 1980s, a time when computer art was seen simply as a passing trend. In those early days, computer artists were either artists interested in new technology or computer scientists interested in art. By retelling Wands’ story we can better understand the complex relationships between technologies and cultural values in art education. These interviews provide insight into Wands as an artist, his early life, inspirations, publications, his identity as a musician, and pioneering contributions to digital art. It also importantly explores his role as an educator and examines how art education might adapt to new technologies.

description: Interactions between the components in many-body systems can give rise to spontaneous formation of complex structures. Usually very little is known about the connection between the interactions and the resulting structure. Here we present a theory for self-assembling pattern formation in multi-component systems, formulated as an analytic technique that predicts morphologies directly from the interactions in an effective model. As a demonstration we apply the method to a model of alkanethiols on spherical gold particles, successfully predicting its morphologies and transitions as a function of the interaction parameters. This system is interesting because it has been suggested to provide an effective route to produce patchy colloids.

SA educators and university leaders are confronted by a growing tertiary education population, a desire to embrace a creative economy and the visual arts, and the belief that access to online learning technologies and blended learning systems can potentially lower barriers to entry into higher education (Czerniewicz et al., 2014; Gunga & Rickets, 2007, p. 902). The purpose of this research is to discuss the transformative potential of these systems. In this research, I examine initiatives by SA educators and organizations to creatively integrate online learning and blended learning systems. I gathered this evidence by interviewing Future Learn Cape Town and Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT) at University of Cape Town (UCT), and two education companies, Get Smarter and Silulo Ulutho Technologies.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.

description: We studied the ground state phase diagram of spin-1/2 J1-J2 XY model on the square lattice with first- J1 and second-neighbor J2 antiferromagnetic interactions using both iDMRG and DMRG approaches. We show that a plaquette valence bond phase is realized in an intermediate region 0.50 <= J2/J1 <= 0.54 between a Néel magnetic ordered phase at J2/J1 < 0.50 and a stripy magnetic ordered phase at J2/J1 >= 0.54. The plaquette valence bond phase is characterized by finite dimer orders in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Contrary to the spin-1/2 J1-J2 Heisenberg model, we do not find numerical evidence for a quantum spin liquid phase in the J1-J2 XY model.

description: Background: Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder associated with parkinsonism and alien limb syndrome. Dressing and ideomotor apraxia were reportedly responsive to amantadine.
Case Report: A 79‐year‐old female was referred for evaluation of right hemiparesis. Neurological examination showed dementia, normal ocular movements, mild facial hypomimia, and bradykinesia with right hemiparesis. Nine years later, she developed alien limb syndrome and was diagnosed with CBS. After failure to respond to several medications, alien limb syndrome markedly improved with amantadine.
Discussion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a consistent response of severe, forced dystonic alien limb syndrome to amantadine in a patient with CBS.

description: На сегодняшний день изучение каротиноидов является одним из перспективных направлений в медицинской науке. Интерес к данной группе биологически активных веществ основан на выявленных возможностях их применения в лечении и профилактике широкого спектра заболеваний. Основной механизм действия каротиноидов основан на защите мембраны клеток от воздействия на них свободных радикалов и активных форм кислорода. Богатым источником каротиноидов является растительная пища, в том числе растительное сырье. Поэтому поиск новых растительных источников каротиноидов является одной из первостепенных задач современной медицины. Одними из приоритетных растений для изучения являются Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi и Scutellaria galericulata L., произрастающие на территории Астраханской области. Целью исследования явилось проведение количественного определения суммы каротиноидов в растительном сырье Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi и Scutellaria galericulata L. Материалы и методы исследования. Объектом для анализа послужило растительное сырье (надземная часть) Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi и Scutellaria galericulata L., собранное и заготовленное на территории Астра-ханской области в сентябре 2019 и 2020 гг. Определение показателей качества и содержания каротиноидов было выполнено согласно требованиям общих фармакопейных и фармакопейных статей Государственной фармакопеи XIV издания. Результаты исследования. Определено суммарное содержание каротиноидов нескольких представителей семейства Яснотковых, заготовленные в разные года. Было установлено, что наибольшее содержание каротиноидов характерно для Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (40,16 мг%) в надземной части, заготовленной в 2020 году. Заключение. Данные, полученные в ходе исследования, могут быть использованы в качестве обоснования использования данного растительного сырья в качестве источника каротиноидов.

description: We present a multiwavelength study of the X-class flare, which occurred in active region (AR) NOAA 11339 on 3 November 2011. The EUV images recorded by SDO/AIA show the activation of a remote filament (located north of the AR) with footpoint brightenings about 50 min prior to the flare occurrence. The kinked filament rises-up slowly and after reaching a projected height of ~49 Mm, it bends and falls freely near the AR, where the X-class flare was triggered. Dynamic radio spectrum from the Green Bank Solar Radio Burst Spectrometer (GBSRBS) shows simultaneous detection of both positive and negative drifting pulsating structures (DPSs) in the decimetric radio frequencies (500-1200 MHz) during the impulsive phase of the flare. The global negative DPSs in solar flares are generally interpreted as a signature of electron acceleration related to the upward moving plasmoids in the solar corona. The EUV images from AIA 94 Åreveal the ejection of multiple plasmoids, which move simultaneously upward and downward in the corona during the magnetic reconnection. The estimated speeds of the upward and downward moving plasmoids are ~152-362 and ~83-254 km/s, respectively. These observations strongly support the recent numerical simulations of the formation and interaction of multiple plasmoids due to tearing of the current-sheet structure. On the basis of our analysis, we suggest that the simultaneous detection of both the negative and positive DPSs is most likely generated by the interaction/coalescence of the multiple plasmoids moving upward and downward along the current-sheet structure during the magnetic reconnection process. Moreover, the differential emission measure (DEM) analysis of the active region reveals presence of a hot flux-rope structure (visible in AIA 131 and 94 Å) prior to the flare initiation and ejection of the multi-temperature plasmoids during the flare impulsive phase.

Subjects: subject: 004 Informatik

description: An der Hochschule Hannover wird das Lern-Management-System Moodle eingesetzt. Für die dort verfügbare Quizfunktion wurde der neue Fragetyp MooPT (Moodle Programming Task) von der Abteilung Informatik der Fakultät IV entwickelt. Einem solchen Quiz muss immer ein Frageverhalten zugewiesen werden. Die Frageverhalten, welche Moodle standardmäßig anbietet, sind nicht mit dem MooPT-Fragetypen kompatibel. Aus diesem Grund müssen diese angepasst werden. Dies wurde bereits für zwei der acht Standard-Frageverhalten von der Abteilung Informatik durchgeführt. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung der restlichen Verhalten für den MooPT-Fragetypen. Dabei wird die Moodle-Quiz-Komponente und der MooPT-Fragetyp mit seinen Frageverhalten analysiert. Anschließen wird auf Basis dieser Analyse die Entwicklung der restlichen Frageverhalten erläutert. Der Quellcode der Moodle-Plattform ist in PHP geschrieben und somit auch der des MooPT-Fragetypen und der der Frageverhalten. Auf GitHub stehen die Implementierungen der entwickelten Frageverhalten unter der GPL-Lizenz zur Verfügung: https://github.com/LennartRolfes/moodle-qbehaviour_adaptivemoopt https://github.com/LennartRolfes/moodle-qbehaviour_adaptivemooptnopenalty https://github.com/LennartRolfes/moodle-qbehaviour_deferredmooptcbm https://github.com/LennartRolfes/moodle-qbehaviour_immediatemooptcbm https://github.com/LennartRolfes/moodle-qbehaviour_interactivemoopt

description: Background: Tremor and headache are two of the most prevalent neurological conditions. This review addresses possible associations between various types of tremor and headache, and provides a differential diagnosis for patients presenting with both tremor and headache.
Methods: Data were identified by searching MEDLINE in February 2015, with the terms “tremor” and terms representing the primary headache syndromes.
Results: Evidence for an association between migraine and essential tremor is conflicting. Other primary headaches are not associated with tremor. Conditions that may present with both tremor and headache include cervical dystonia, infectious diseases, hydrocephalus, spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leaks, space-occupying lesions, and metabolic disease. Furthermore, both can be seen as a side effect of medication and in the use of recreational drugs.
Discussion: No clear association between primary headaches and tremor has been found. Many conditions may feature both headache and tremor, but rarely as core clinical symptoms at presentation.
A NOVEL APPROACH TO SET-MEMBERSHIP OBSERVER FOR SYSTEMS WITH UNKNOWN EXOGENOUS INPUTS

description: Motivated by the increasing need to monitor safety-critical systems subject to uncer-
 tainties, a novel set-membership approach is proposed to estimate the state of a dynamical
 system with unknown-but-bounded exogenous inputs. By fully utilizing the system struc-
 tural information, the proposed algorithm can address both computational efficiency and
 estimation accuracy without requiring restrictive conditions on the system. Particularly,
 the system is first decomposed into the strongly observable subsystem and the weakly un-
 observable subsystem. To make full use of the subsystem’s properties, a set-membership
 observer based on the unknown input observer and an ellipsoidal set-membership observer
 are designed for the two subsystems, respectively. Then, the resulting set estimates from
 each subsystem are fused and transformed to obtain the set estimate for the original system,
 which is guaranteed to bound the actual system state. The conditions for the boundedness
 of the proposed set estimate are discussed, and the proposed set-membership observer is also
 tested numerically using illustrative examples.
