Isotope turnover rate and metabolism of Danio rerio
Creators: name: Akberzie, Wahida
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Over the years stable isotopes have become more popular to trace an organism's diet in the tissue. Carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios have been shown to be useful elements to show whether the organism's tissue resembles that of their diet. Stable carbon 13C/12C and 15N/14N were used to determine the growth rates and metabolic tissue turnover rates. The average growth rates calculated of the control (TetraminRTM Tropical Flakes), Experimental Diet 1 (Omega One Freeze Dried Blood Worms), and Experimental Diet 2 (Tetra Veggie Algae WafersRTM) for Danio rerio were calculated to be 0.0002 gram/day, -0.0063 gram/day, and 0.0059 gram/day, respectively. The metabolic tissue turnover was found to have a higher role in the turnover rate rather than growth. Lastly, there was no correlation determined between tissue isotope half-lives and metabolic rate due to a lack of consistency in the results.

description: This study concerns vocational education and training (VET) on upper-secondary level within Swedish municipal adult education (MAE). The paper aims to show how such VET is organised locally and what the arguments are for different ways of organising. Furthermore, the aim is to analyse how national education policy is enacted in local vocational adult education. The data consist of documents presenting relevant national policies on adult education, particularly concerning VET, and semi-structured interviews with local politicians, heads of adult education, and educational counsellors. The findings show how VET for adults is organised in different ways and with different types of provider. Employability and integration are the main arguments for a focus on VET in MAE. Enactment of national policy is seen in the flexibility of provision of MAE, but also in focus on VET, and regional cooperation in developing VET for adults. The study concludes that the enactment of national policy initiatives on VET in MAE means a strengthening of the position of VET in the Swedish system of adult education arranged by local municipalities. However, the priority of a limited number of vocational sectors in MAE is questioned.

description: BASF is one of the leading companies in crop protection products. As with all of their competitors, BASF distributes their products to famers through a retailer in what is known as a three-tiered system. All manufacturers face similar challenges with this distribution system: to create user demand and to ensure product differentiation is conveyed by distributors and retailers. To help bridge the gap between chemical manufacturers and farmers, BASF has created the role of innovation specialist, a person who works to connect with both retailers and farmers. The goal is not only to help farmers increase efficiency and output, but also to grow the industry. BASF faces multiple challenges, including farmer skepticism and conflict with retailers. Despite these challenges, BASF has increased product sales and customer satisfaction, which is attributed to their use of innovation specialists.

Subjects: Financial Economics

description: I examine an environment where advertisers can ”seed” word-of-mouth advertising by providing initial information about a product to specific users of a social network. Discussion over a social network generates spillover effects for firms when consumers can use the social network to inform each other about products. When a firm can exploit a social network’s structure, it can increase its sales. However, when the network formation process is costly, firms free-ride on such costs at the expense of agents on the network. If agents can form coalitions, I show that they can recoup the value of this externality by charging a toll. When users actively modify the information, generating word-of-mouth advertising about a product provides a ”social value.” This social value stems from the discussions that agents have about the product, without any intervention. Since this process occurs regardless of the firm’s actions, the firm cannot capture such valuation. The opinion leaders, or highly regarded agents on the network, play a key role in the formation of this social value.

description: Governments fund public universities based on the number of registered students and lump sum transfers. Such policy induces universities to compete for student recruitment. I show that such rule can lead to an inefficient allocation of resources in which universities compete for the same students. I suggest a more efficient policy that achieves the social optimum for any given level of funding. Such funding rule should not be solely based on university’s own enrolement, but also on enrolment in competing universities.

description: Photoreceptor, bipolar and amacrine cells in the retina of surface fish Astyanax mexicanus were morphologically characterized using DiOlistic techniques. In this method, DiI-coated microcarriers are applied at high speed onto the surfaces of retinal slices where DiI then delineates axons, somata and dendrites of isolated neurons. Three photoreceptors were identified: rods, single and double cones. Bipolar cells were separated into eleven morphological types: three Boff-types with axon boutons exclusively in sublamina a, four-Bon types with axon boutons exclusively in sublamina b and four multistratified types with axon boutons in both sublamina a and b. Amacrine cells were separated into thirteen morphological types: seven Aoff-types and six-Aon types. The information from this study can be used to compare the overall eye development and general changes in retinal structure, degrees of retinal degeneration and/or apoptotic loss of specific cell types between the ancestral Astyanax morphotype and the regressed cave forms.

We show that our main results, namely, (modied) representation theorems and corresponding rules for updating beliefs over expanding state spaces and null events that constitute "reverse Bayesianism," remain valid.

description: Leukemia is one of the mostcommon cancers in children, comprising more than a third of all
childhood cancers. Newly affected patients in USA are estimated as 10100cases, and if these cases are diagnosed late or proper treatment is not applied, then it can be mortal. Because rapid and proper diagnosis of leukemia based on clinical or medicinal findings (without biopsy) is impossible, we decided to apply artificial
neural network for rapid leukemia diagnosis. For this aim we used clinical and medical parameters taken from
131 patients of Sina hospital of Hamadan.

description: Flow networks can describe many natural and artificial systems. We present a model for a flow system that allows for volume accumulation, includes conduits with a non-linear relation between current and pressure difference, and can be applied to networks of arbitrary topology. The model displays complex dynamics, including self-sustained oscillations in the absence of any dynamics in the inputs and outputs. In this work we analytically show the origin of self-sustained oscillations for the 1D case. We numerically study the behavior of systems of arbitrary topology under different conditions: we discuss their excitability, the effect of different boundary conditions and wave propagation when the network has regions of conduits with linear conductance.

description: The individual-medical concept of disability, whereby disability is believed to be caused by some intractable impairment, is perhaps the most widely held view in society. However, other concepts exist with which teachers in inclusive schools should be familiar (e.g., social, systemic), to better inform teacher behavior, attitudes and understanding. We therefore developed an instrument to capture education students’ concepts of disability. We constructed the questionnaire according to four theoretical models of disability (individual-medical, social, systemic, and cultural concepts), which are commonly used in inclusive teacher education, and validated this on a sample of 775 education students. Additionally, we administered the Attitudes towards Inclusion Scale (AIS) and measured key demographic variables. The instruments, data and analysis code used are available online at https://osf.io/dm4cs/. After dropping redundant items, a shortened form of the questionnaire contained 16 items, with satisfactory psychometric values for scales pertaining to four concepts of disability (CFI = 0.963, TLI = 0.955, RMSEA = 0.037, SRMR = 0.039). These four concepts of disability showed small correlations with the AIS, indicating that our questionnaire measured an independent construct. The more experience education students had with disability and the more courses they had attended on inclusive education, the more likely they were to agree with the social concept of disability. The questionnaire shows promise in measuring concepts of disability and might be used to stimulate students’ critical reflection during teacher education.

description: Protein design is the inverse approach of the three-dimensional (3D) structure prediction for elucidating the relationship between the 3D structures and amino acid sequences. In general, the computation of the protein design involves a double loop: a loop for amino acid sequence changes and a loop for an exhaustive conformational search for each amino acid sequence. Herein, we propose a novel statistical mechanical design method using Bayesian learning, which can design lattice proteins without the exhaustive conformational search. We consider a thermodynamic hypothesis of the evolution of proteins and apply it to the prior distribution of amino acid sequences. Furthermore, we take the water effect into account in view of the grand canonical picture. As a result, on applying the 2D lattice hydrophobic-polar (HP) model, our design method successfully finds an amino acid sequence for which the target conformation has a unique ground state. However, the performance was not as good for the 3D lattice HP models compared to the 2D models. The performance of the 3D model improves on using a 20-letter lattice proteins. Furthermore, we find a strong linearity between the chemical potential of water and the number of surface residues, thereby revealing the relationship between protein structure and the effect of water molecules. The advantage of our method is that it greatly reduces computation time, because it does not require long calculations for the partition function corresponding to an exhaustive conformational search. As our method uses a general form of Bayesian learning and statistical mechanics and is not limited to lattice proteins, the results presented here elucidate some heuristics used successfully in previous protein design methods.

description: We have investigated the physical conditions in the narrow-line region (NLR) of M51 using long-slit spectra obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and 3.6 cm radio continuum observations obtained with the Very Large Array (VLA). Emission-line diagnostics were employed for nine NLR clouds, which extend 2.5" (102 pc) from the nucleus, to examine the electron density, temperature, and ionization state of the NLR gas. The emission-line ratios are consistent with those typically found in Seyfert nuclei and indicate that within the inner near-nuclear region (r ~< 1") the ionization decreases with increasing radius. Upper-limits to the [O III] electron temperature (T ~< 11,000 K) for the inner NLR clouds indicate that photoionization is the dominant ionization mechanism close to the nucleus. The emission-line fluxes for most of the NLR clouds can be reproduced reasonably well by simple photoionization models using a central power-law continuum source and supersolar nitrogen abundances. Shock+precursor models, however, provide a better fit to the observed fluxes of an NLR cloud ~2.5" south of the nucleus that is identified with the extra-nuclear cloud (XNC). The large [O III] electron temperature of this cloud (T = 24,000 K) further suggests the presence of shocks. This cloud is straddled by two radio knots and lies near the location where a weak radio jet, ~2.5" (102pc) in extent, connects the near-nuclear radio emission with a diffuse lobe structure spanning \~4" (163 pc). It is plausible that this cloud represents the location where the radio jet impinges on the disk ISM.

description: We report the results of a non-LTE Fe, O and Mg abundance analysis of the carbon-nitrogen-rich ultra-metal-poor giants CS29498--043 and CS22949--037. The abundance of oxygen has been derived from measurements of the oxygen triplet at 7771-5 A in high resolution spectra obtained with KeckI/HIRES and the forbidden line [OI] 6300 A detected in the TNG/SARG spectra of CS29498-043. Detailed non-LTE analysis of Fe lines has provided reliable stellar parameters which, however, do not resolve the oxygen abundance conflict as derived from the OI 7771-5 A triplet and the [OI] 6300 A forbidden lines. We obtained the following oxygen abundance: for CS22949-037 [O/Fe] =3.13, 1.95; and for CS29498-043; [O/Fe]=3.02, 2.49, based on the OI 7771-5 A triplet and the [OI] 6300 A forbidden line, respectively. A similar conflict appears to exist between the forbidden resonance line MgI 4571 A and several subordinate lines, such as MgI 5172 and 5183 A. Our analysis demonstrates the failure of standard plane--parallel atmosphere models to describe the physical conditions in the line-forming regions of these ultra-metal-poor giants.

description: Food waste is a social, environmental, and economic sustainability issue. This study was aimed at studying food waste produced by AMS Conferences and Catering (AMS C&C) and suggesting alternative uses with the goal of decreasing the amount of pre- and post-consumer waste produced during a catering event. Pre-consumer waste analysis was achieved through personal visits to the AMS kitchen, observation of food preparation, and staff interviews. Pre-consumer food preparation was not a significant source of waste. However, the disparity in the number of attendees at the conference (n=39) compared with expected attendance numbers (n=70) resulted in a significant amount (over four full trays, or at least 25 portions) of food waste. The reason for this waste appeared to be miscommunication between event organizers and conference planners and overestimating the amount of food needed for second helpings during the event. A survey of conference attendees revealed interest in the option of choosing a small or regular portion size when registering for a catered event. Other recommendations to mitigate waste include: an extension to the amount of time conference planners have to confirm attendance numbers, a “green tax” deposit system paid by conference planners to in the event of under-attendance to help fund redirection strategies and developing an alert email list and/or partnerships with the AMS Food Bank, Sprouts Cafe and the Greater Vancouver Food Bank as sources for food redirection.

Mothers' and daughters' relational factors, body and dieting views impact upon fear of fat in a college-aged sample
Creators: name: Lou, Kathryn E.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This research examined the relationship between Fear of Fat, a dislike of fat and fear of becoming fat oneself, aspects of the mother-daughter relationship as well as body and dieting beliefs. The effect of a positive, close mother-daughter relationship may serve to counteract negative body perceptions and beliefs that contribute to the development of disordered eating pathology. Individuals who feel close to or identify with their mothers but are dissatisfied with their body demonstrate less concern and Fear of Fat, as compared with those who are not close to their mother, but high in body dissatisfaction. The protective nature of the mother-daughter relationship serves to lessen Fear of Fat even in the presence of other disordered body beliefs. In addition, the mother-daughter relationship can impact the overt and underlying reasons for dieting behavior in college age girls by shaping the daughters' interpretations and internalizations of body beliefs and self perceptions.

description: The correlation between the harmonic flow and the transverse flow in relativistic heavy ion collisions is calculated in the hydrodynamic model. The partial correlation coefficient, corrected for fluctuations of multiplicity, is compared to experimental data. Estimators of the final transverse and harmonic flow are used to predict the value of the correlation coefficient from the moments of the initial distribution. A good description of the hydrodynamic simulation results is obtained if the estimator for the final transverse flow, besides the most important transverse size and entropy, includes also the eccentricities.

description: This study aims to provide insight into the learning processes that take place when vocational student teachers work with multimodal digital logbooks at the campus and between school and placement. The study will highlight vocational student teachers’ experiences of using logbooks between university and practicum as well as between school and pupils’ practicum. It will also highlight how student teachers learn when working with logbooks. The data consist of transcripts from eight interviews with vocational student teachers about their experiences of working with a digital, multimodal course logbook in their placement course and 19 essays about working with digital, and sometimes multimodal, logbooks between secondary school and practicum. A thematic analysis was conducted based on the key concepts in a previously developed model (Kilbrink et.al., 2021) to find out how student teachers experience the use of digital multimodal logbooks and their own learning processes during it. The analyses also show that both kinds of logbooks worked well for the students as a means of both advancing and showing their professional development. There are as many learning examples as there are essays, and the student teachers learn from failure as well as success. When the Identification model is applied to the data, pedagogical aims seem to play a greater role than the choice of digital technology. In addition, how the technology is used becomes a crucial factor for which level of communication is reached. By using the Identification model to analyse vocational student teachers’ experiences of using digital, multimodal logbooks as boundary objects between university and practicum as students and between school and practicum as teachers, as well as their experienced learning processes in relation to the use of the logbooks, the study provides insight into some of the learning processes that take place across learning institutions and practicums.

description: We calculate the $η^\prime$-meson energy spectrum in the $Υ(1S) \to η^\prime g g g \to η^\prime X$ decay in the leading-order perturbative QCD in the static-quark limit for the orthoquarkonium.Our principal result is the extraction of parameters of the $η^\prime g^* g$ effective vertex function (EVF) involving a virtual and a real gluon from the available data on the hard part of the $η^\prime$-meson energy spectrum. The perturbative-QCD based framework provides a good description of the available CLEO data, allowing one to constrain the lowest Gegenbauer coefficients $B^{(q)}_2$ and $B^{(g)}_2$ of the quark-antiquark and gluonic distribution amplitudes of the $η^\prime$-meson. The resulting constraints are combined with the existing ones on these coefficients from an analysis of the $η^\prime - γ$ transition form factor and the requirement of positivity of the EVF, yielding $B^{(q)}_2 (μ_0^2) = -0.008 \pm 0.054$ and $B^{(g)}_2 (μ_0^2) = 4.6 \pm 2.5$ for $μ_0^2 = 2 GeV^2$. This reduces significantly the current uncertainty on these coefficients.

description: This research examined the relationship between Fear of Fat, a dislike of fat and fear of becoming fat oneself, aspects of the mother-daughter relationship as well as body and dieting beliefs. The effect of a positive, close mother-daughter relationship may serve to counteract negative body perceptions and beliefs that contribute to the development of disordered eating pathology. Individuals who feel close to or identify with their mothers but are dissatisfied with their body demonstrate less concern and Fear of Fat, as compared with those who are not close to their mother, but high in body dissatisfaction. The protective nature of the mother-daughter relationship serves to lessen Fear of Fat even in the presence of other disordered body beliefs. In addition, the mother-daughter relationship can impact the overt and underlying reasons for dieting behavior in college age girls by shaping the daughters' interpretations and internalizations of body beliefs and self perceptions.

Higher Quality Exhaustible Resource Deposits Receiving Higher or Lower Resource Rents in a Simple Spatial Framework

subject: exhaustible resource extraction
subject: deposit quality
subject: linear market

description: Kolstad's (1994) model of intertemporal, competitive supply to a linear market from two distinct exhaustible resource deposits admits two different interior solutions -- one with the low cost deposit "earning" the higher resource rent and the other with the low cost deposit "earning" the lower resource rent. This latter outcome turns on the initial size of the low cost deposit being significantly larger than the high cost deposit. We infer then that size can trump quality in the determination of the resource rent for a deposit, when geography is explicit.
What do working performers in the Washington, DC area know: Describing arts advocacy & community

subject: Performing arts

description: This study examines how professional performers define arts advocacy and community, as a means to create practices and tools to empower them to advocate for themselves. Arts Advocacy adequately addresses the overall concerns of the arts sector and of established organizations. Yet in streamlining the advocacy process, a few major goals have to be selected, while the goals of different and smaller communities of artists receive varying levels of support, depending on the networks set up within each field. By examining the education, training, and work-lifestyle of professional performance artists, and documenting existing beliefs about arts advocacy and community, we can gain an understanding of how working performers' professional life affects their civic one. We can also enable individual artists' civic life to better their professional one. In the end, this study will show that empowering artists to self-advocate will give arts advocacy a much needed boost, but that it begins with working artists own beliefs and understanding about community and advocacy.

description: Bird's Eye View (BEV) semantic maps have recently garnered a lot of attention as a useful representation of the environment to tackle assisted and autonomous driving tasks. However, most of the existing work focuses on the fully supervised setting, training networks on large annotated datasets. In this work, we present RendBEV, a new method for the self-supervised training of BEV semantic segmentation networks, leveraging differentiable volumetric rendering to receive supervision from semantic perspective views computed by a 2D semantic segmentation model. Our method enables zero-shot BEV semantic segmentation, and already delivers competitive results in this challenging setting. When used as pretraining to then fine-tune on labeled BEV ground-truth, our method significantly boosts performance in low-annotation regimes, and sets a new state of the art when fine-tuning on all available labels.

Mono Lake or Laschamp geomagnetic event recorded from lava flows in Amsterdam Island (southeastern Indian Ocean)

description: We report a survey carried out on basalt flows from Amsterdam Island in order to check the presence of intermediate directions interpreted to belong to a geomagnetic field excursion within the Brunhes epoch, completing this paleomagnetic record with paleointensity determinations and radiometric dating. The directional results corroborate the findings by Watkins and Nougier (1973) : normal polarity is found for two units and an intermediate direction, with associated VGPs close to the equator, for the other two units. A notable result is that these volcanic rocks are well suited for absolute paleointensity determinations. Fifty percent of the samples yields reliable intensity values with high quality factors. An original element of this study is that we made use of the PTRM-tail test of Shcherbakova et al. (2000) to help in the interpretation of the paleointensity measurements. Doing thus, only the high temperature intervals, beyond 400 degres C, were retained to obtain the most reliable estimate of the strength of the ancient magnetic field. The normal units yield Virtual Dipole Moments (VDM) of 6.2 and 7.7 10e22 Am2 and the excursional units yield values of 3.7 and 3.4 10e22 Am2. These results are quite consistent with the other Thellier determinations from Brunhes excursion records, all characterized by a decrease of the VDM as VGP latitude decreases. 40Ar/39Ar isotopic age determinations provide an estimate of 26+-15 Kyr and 18+-9 Kyr for the transitional lava flows, which could correspond to the Mono Lake excursion. However, the large error bars associated with these ages do not exclude the hypothesis that this event is the Laschamp.
