title: The Integration of Multiple and Diverse Knowledge Representation Paradigms using a Blackboard Architecture
Creators: name: Harrison, Alan
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: There is increasing evidence that designers of future real-time embedded systems are turning to knowledge-based techniques in order to solve complex problems where algorithmic techniques have failed to produce a solution. In addition, many applications have been mandated to use the Ada programming language for all implementation software, including the knowledge-based components. This thesis identifies three essential requirements needed to support the construction of these systems: first, the need to provide a library of Ada knowledge-based components that supports a variety of knowledge representation paradigms to model the diverse expert domains being encountered in complex applications; second, the need to provide the user with the means of creating and controlling multiple independent instances of the knowledge-based components to cope with the complexity and scale of the implementations; and third, the need to provide an integrating architecture in which the knowledge-based components may be embedded directly into an application environment. These requirements have been satisfied by using ideas derived from the concept of abstract data types to construct a library of knowledge-based components; the components have been called abstract knowledge types. Subsequently, multiple instances of the abstract knowledge types have been integrated in modules called knowledge sources, which model specific problem knowledge domains. The knowledge sources have been used to construct a blackboard architecture. The abstract knowledge types have been used to build a prototype university timetabling system in order to demonstrate their use. The research has shown that the abstract knowledge type integration approach results in a uniform implementation strategy for both conventional and knowledge-based components.

description: A systematic study of (A,A')2FeMoO6 (A,A'=Ca, Sr, Ba) ferromagnetic oxides with double perovskite structure has been performed using 95,97Mo and 57Fe NMR spectroscopy. These oxides are isoelectronic but have substantially different Curie temperatures. The NMR analysis provides clear evidence that the magnetic moment at Mo sites is not constant but varies sensitively with the ionic size of the alkaline ions. The 95,97Mo frequency, and thus the electronic charge at Mo ions, is found to be smaller in Ba and Ca than in Sr-based oxides. The charge release from Mo sites is accompanied by an uptake at Fe sites, and thus a self-doping Fe-Mo process is observed. This process is controlled by relevant structural parameters: the Fe-O-Mo bond length and bending. A clear relationship between the Curie temperature and the magnetic moment and thus electron density at Mo sites has been disclosed. The relevance of these findings for the understanding of ferromagnetic coupling in double perovskites is discussed.

description: This paper analyzes a model of economic development which is propagated by matching between technologies and the talents they require. Differences in productivity across countries are amplified by three dimensions of talent utilization. First, the range of different talents utilized. Second, the density of a specific talent utilized. Third, the average match quality in the economy. In our setup, the equilibrium variety of technologies increases with productivity. A larger number of technologies enables higher match quality between individuals’ talents and requirements of technologies and thus increases the returns to search. More intensive search further contributes to talent utilization.

description: We live in heterogeneous societies with many cultural and ethnic minorities. The cultural composition of our societies changes over time as a result of immigration, fertility choices, and cultural assimilation. Studying such population dynamics, we examine the effect of integration policies, which increase the cost of direct cultural transmission, on the size of the cultural minority. We show that integration policies, while often aimed at reducing the minority's size, may have the opposite effect of increasing minority fertility and its growth rate.

description: Background: Coordination dysfunction is quite common after pontine infarction, contributing to the decreased ability of activity of daily living(ADL). Baduanjin is a traditional Chinese exercise characterized by smooth and slow movements which may benefit to the coordination function. Purpose: To explore the effect of Baduanjin on the coordination function in an individual with pontine infarction. Methods: One patient with chronic stroke was included in this study. This patient is male aged 38, who suffered pontine infarction 7 months ago. The Brunnstrom recovery stage evaluated for the patient was VI but the coordination dysfunction was severe. The score of the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS) assessment was 28, indicating a severe coordination disorder. A regime of Baduanjin training for 5 days each with 30 min was provided. As the patient was not able to stand independently, sitting position was applied for the whole training sessions. The physiotherapist supervised all the training with 5min warm-up exercise, 20min Baduanjin practice and 5min cool-down exercise. For each day training session, pre and post assessments using ICARS were conducted whereas the ADL ability was also evaluated with Modified Barthel index before and after for the whole training. Results: After 3 days of training, the score of ICARS was decreased to 22 and at the end of the whole training period, the score of ICARS declined to 17. The score of Modified Barthel index increased 5 points at the end of training. Conclusions: Baduanjin is a treatment which can increase the coordination of pontine infarction patient. Funding: Study funded by The “Chong Bu Qiang” funding of Guangzhou Sport University (721018020185).

FIBRINOLYTIC ACTIVITY IN PLASMA INDUCED BY NON-PROTEIN MATERIALS
Creators: name: Jenks, Rodney Lee
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The fibrinolytic activity of isoelectrically precipitated fractions of plasma was assayed on plasminogen rich fibrin plates. Dextran sulfate was used as a coprecipitant and activator to yield euglobulins with increased fibrinolytic activity. Flufenamic acid added to most euglobulins resulted in an increased fibrinolytic activity. These factors were used to study the contact activation system of fibrinolysis in normal and Factor XII deficient plasma. In the euglobulin precipitated at pH 5.9, less effect was seen using these techniques than in euglobulins precipitated at pH 5.3. Heparin, as an anticoagulant inhibits the fibrinolytic activity in conrast to EDTA and oxalate. Little difference was noted in the euglobulin from glass or Pyrex treated plasma. Pyrex was a better adsorbent than glass for removal of components of fibrinolysis. The activity removed by adsorption was that which could be precipitated with dextran sulfate. Flufenamate had a greater effect on the fibrinolytic activity in the fractions of glass or Pyrex treated plasma which were precipitated with dextran sulfate, indicating an apparently more effective inhibition in the treated plasma. Salts of fatty acids were found capable of coprecipitating fibrinolytic activity in the euglobulin. This phenomenon is similar to the effect of the dextran sulfate, and seems mediated through the Factor XII dependent activation system. Chloroform as an activator of fibrinolysis was studied for its effects in normally inactive bovine plasma. Combining the chloroform treatment with the activation and coprecipitation with dextran sulfate resulted in isoelectrically precipitated fractions, which generated fibrinolytic activity rapidly. This is in contrast to the uncontrolled slow development of activity usually observed with chloroform treatment.

description: Background: Recent studies have shown that not only individual physical activity but also group exercise and social capital are effective for the health status of older adults. Purpose: This study aimed to clarify how physical activity including group exercise and social capital are related to health status in older adults. Methods: The participants were 4,102 older people who belonged to the senior club in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, JAPAN. Outcomes evaluated locomotor function (0-5 points), cognitive function (0-3 points), and depression (0-5 points). Physical activity (presence or absence of group exercise, individual living activity/exercise (minutes/day), sitting time (minutes/day)), individual-level social capital (attachment, reciprocity, trust, network), individual factors (age, living alone) were used as latent variables, and structural equation modeling was performed by sex. Results: The participants’ average age (standard deviation) was 78.6 (6.5) years. High physical activity positively associated locomotor dysfunction (β= -0.25 in men, -0.65 in women) and depression (β= -0.22 in men, -0.62 in women). Only women had a positive association between high physical activity and cognitive decline (β= -0.62). High social capital positively associated cognitive dysfunction (β= -0.10 in men, -0.06 in women) and depression (β= -0.32 in men, -0.11 in women). Individual factors were found to be directly associated with all outcomes in men, but not in women. Conclusions: Physical activity including group exercise and social capital revealed that directly and indirectly positively affects the health status of older men and women.

description: The paper tackles the issue of $\textit{checking}$ that all copies of a large data set replicated at several nodes of a network are identical. The fact that the replicas may be located at distant nodes prevents the system from verifying their equality locally, i.e., by having each node consult only nodes in its vicinity. On the other hand, it remains possible to assign $\textit{certificates}$ to the nodes, so that verifying the consistency of the replicas can be achieved locally. However, we show that, as the data set is large, classical certification mechanisms, including distributed Merlin-Arthur protocols, cannot guarantee good completeness and soundness simultaneously, unless they use very large certificates. The main result of this paper is a distributed $\textit{quantum}$ Merlin-Arthur protocol enabling the nodes to collectively check the consistency of the replicas, based on small certificates, and in a single round of message exchange between neighbors, with short messages. In particular, the certificate-size is logarithmic in the size of the data set, which gives an exponential advantage over classical certification mechanisms.

description: The present paper extends the method of Anstee, Barklem and O'Mara (Anstee 1992; Anstee & O'Mara 1991, 1995; Anstee, O'Mara & Ross 1997; Barklem 1998; Barklem & O'Mara 1997; Barklem, O'Mara & Ross 1998), developed during the 1990's for collisional line broadening by atomic hydrogen, to the depolarization of spectral lines of neutral atoms by collisions with atomic hydrogen. In the present paper, we will limit the calculations to p (l=1) atomic levels. The depolarization cross sections and depolarization rates are computed. In Table 2 cross sections as functions of the relative velocity and effective quantum number are given, allowing for the computation for any p atomic level. Our results are compared to quantum chemistry calculations where possible. The sensitivity of depolarization cross sections to regions of the potential is examined. We conclude that the accuracy obtained with our method (< 20 % for the depolarization rates) is promising for its extension to higher l-values for the interpretation of the ``second solar spectrum''. This will be the object of further papers.

description: Magnetic impurities coupled to both fermionic and bosonic baths or to a fermionic bath with pseudogap density of states, described by the Fermi-Bose Kondo and pseudogap Kondo models, display non-trivial intermediate coupling fixed points associated with critical local-moment fluctuations and local non-Fermi liquid behavior. Based on renormalization group together with a renormalized perturbation expansion around the free-impurity limit, we calculate various impurity properties in the vicinity of those intermediate-coupling fixed points. In particular, we compute the conduction electron T matrix, the impurity susceptibility, and the residual impurity entropy, and relate our findings to certain scenarios of local quantum criticality in strongly correlated lattice models.

description: I present a simple framework for modeling two-firm market competition when consumer choice is “frame-dependent”, and firms use costless “marketing messages” to influence the consumer’s frame. This framework embeds several recent models in the “behavioral industrial organization” literature. I identify a property that consumer choice may satisfy, which extends the concept of Weighted Regularity due to Piccione and Spiegler (2012), and provide a characterization of Nash equilibria under this property. I use this result to analyze the equilibrium interplay between competition and framing in a variety of applications.

description: Background: The world’s older population is rapidly growing, especially Asian regions that the number of elderly are projected to double between 2019 and 2050. Frailty is an aging-associated clinical syndrome with high risk for falls, disability, hospitalization, and mortality, as well as psychological characteristics such loneliness and depression. The study is a nation-wide aging prevention project for health and sub-healthy community-dwelling older adults in Taiwan to implement a community-based physical exercise program. Purpose: To examine the effectiveness and influencing factors of a national-wide multi-component health promotion program for community-dwelling Taiwanese older adults. This program was developed and promoted by the Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Taiwan. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants, ≧65 years and without disabilities, received 12 weekly 2-hour group sessions. The health promotion program was led by trained instructors and consisted of physical activity, health education, and cognitive training. Level of frailty was measured by the Study of Osteoporotic Fracture (SOF) Checklist, the risk of disability by Kihon Checklist (KCL), and the life satisfaction by a single question. Pre-post comparison was assessed by the paired-t test and the effect sizes analyzed by Cohen’s d. The factors affecting the improvement of the SOF were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results: 3383 participants were recruited from 79 community centers in Taiwan. 2017 participants with valid post-test SOF scores were included in the analysis. The mean age was 74.32 ±6.48. 74.62% were female. Pre-post comparison of SOF score showed that 1249 (61.92%) remained the same. 768 (38.08%) showed changes of levels. 77.36% (N=164) improved from frail to pre-frail and robust and 350 (54.35%) from pre-frail to robust. 189 (16.28%) deteriorated from robust to pre-frail and frail, and 63 (9.78%) from pre-frail to frail. Significant improvements of KCL were found in the domains of daily function (d= 0.058, P = .009 ), physical strength (d= 0.056, P = .012), depressive mood (d= 0.134, P < .001), and total (d= 0.100, P < .001).

description: People often wonder why economists analyze models whose as- sumptions are known to be false, while economists feel that they learn a great deal from such exercises. We suggest that part of the knowledge generated by academic economists is case-based rather than rule-based. That is, instead of oering general rules or theories that should be contrasted with data, economists often analyze models that are \theoretical cases", which help understand economic problems by drawing analogies between the model and the problem. According to this view, economic models, empirical data, experimental results and other sources of knowledge are all on equal footing, that is, they all provide cases to which a given problem can be compared. We of- fer complexity arguments that explain why case-based reasoning may sometimes be the method of choice and why economists prefer simple cases.

description: Background: To date, there is no studies have investigated the associations between the Walk Scores of neighborhood environments and the physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) of older adults in rural areas. Purpose: The aim of this study was thus to examine the correlations of Walk Scores with sufficient PA and prolonged SB in order to provide appropriate recommendations for older adults living in rural areas. Methods: The sample comprised 1,083 older adults (aged ≥65 years). Cross-sectional data on PA, SB, and screen time were obtained by using computer-assisted telephone-based interviews. The Walk Score, which indicates the walkability of a neighborhood, was assessed for each participant's neighborhood, with the resulting scores divided into five classes ranging from class 1 to class 5. Binary logistic regression analyses were adopted. Results: Compared with those living in very car-dependent locations (class 1), older adults who lived in locations classified as a “walker's paradise” (class 5) were more likely to meet the moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) recommendation (≥150 min/week) (odds ratio [OR] = 2.35; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.37-4.02). However, older adults who lived in a somewhat walkable area (class 3) (OR= 1.61; 95% CI = 1.05-2.47), very walkable area (class 4) (OR= 1.75; 95% CI= 1.11-2.75), or a walker's paradise (class 5) (OR= 2.58; 95% CI= 1.54-4.33) also had significant likelihoods of excessive SB (≥7hr/day). In addition, similar results were found regarding to excessive screen time (≥2 hr/day). Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that living in a more walkable neighborhood may support MVPA while also being associated with excessive SB among older adults living in rural areas. These findings provide critical information for improving neighborhood walkability and the health-related behaviors of suburban or rural area residents.

description: Some of the classical orthogonal polynomials such as Hermite, Laguerre, Charlier, etc. have been shown to be the generating polynomials for certain combinatorial objects. These combinatorial interpretations are used to prove new identities and generating functions involving these polynomials. In this paper we apply Foata's combinatorial interpretation of the Hermite polynomials as counting matchings of a set to obtain a triple lacunary generating function for the Hermite polynomials. We also give an umbral proof of this generating function.

description: We construct the non-stationary Ruijsenaars functions (affine analogue of the Macdonald functions) in the special case $κ=t^{-1/N}$, using the intertwining operators of the Ding-Iohara-Miki algebra (DIM algebra) associated with $N$-fold Fock tensor spaces. By the $S$-duality of the intertwiners, another expression is obtained for the non-stationary Ruijsenaars functions with $κ=t^{-1/N}$, which can be regarded as a natural elliptic lift of the asymptotic Macdonald functions to the multivariate elliptic hypergeometric series. We also investigate some properties of the vertex operator of the DIM algebra appearing in the present algebraic framework; an integral operator which commutes with the elliptic Ruijsenaars operator, and the degeneration of the vertex operators to the Virasoro primary fields in the conformal limit $q \rightarrow 1$.

description: The head of an organization is viewed as dealing with an optimization problem under a variety of constraints. The bureaucracy, by contrast, is viewed as dealing with the constraints alone: it has to make a multitude of low-level decisions, in such a way that no constraint is violated. However, even the feasibility problem is computationally hard. Hence bureaucracies often try to rely on past cases, in the hope of making decisions that are feasible. We study the way that past cases might affect current choices, and show that, under certain conditions, the bureaucracy will guarantee feasibility only if it mimics its behavior in a single past case.

description: Spiral galaxies that are deficient in neutral Hydrogen are observed on the outskirts of the Virgo cluster. If their orbits have crossed the inner parts of the cluster, their interstellar gas may have been lost through ram pressure stripping by the hot X-ray emitting gas of the cluster. We estimate the maximum radius out to which galaxies can bounce out of a virialized system using analytical arguments and cosmological N-body simulations. In particular, we derive an expression for the turnaround radius in a flat cosmology with a cosmological constant that is simpler than previously derived expressions. We find that the maximum radius reached by infalling galaxies as they bounce out of their cluster is roughly between 1 and 2.5 virial radii. Comparing to the virial radius of the Virgo cluster, which we estimate from X-ray observations, these HI-deficient galaxies appear to lie significantly further away from the cluster center. Therefore, if their distances to the cluster core are correct, the HI-deficient spiral galaxies found outside of the Virgo cluster cannot have lost their gas by ram pressure from the hot intracluster gas.

description: Background: The vertical acceleration (Vacc) parameter in sit-to-stand movement (STS) are useful for measuring lower-limb function in older adults. However few reports are available on whether Vacc parameter in STS movement reflect lower-limb functional status in older adults. Purpose: To investigate the concurrent validity of Vacc parameter in STS for assessing lower-limb function. Methods: A total of 399 older adults participated in a cross sectional study. Participants performed the STS with a 3-axis accelerometer attached to the lower back first and then holding in their hand. Two parameters were measured: maximal acceleration, maximal jerk. Objective assessment such as vertical ground reaction force, timed up and go test (TUG), 5-time sit-to-stand test, 5-m habitual walk, one-leg balance with eyes open were used to assess lower-limb function. Subjective assessment such as history of falls, fear of falling and mobility limitation were examined. Concurrent validity was evaluated using Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and analysis of covariance adjusted for the age and sex and Trend test (Jonckheele-Terpstra). Results: Lower back maximal acceleration was relatively higher correlated with RFD8.75/w (r = 0.75), TUG and 5-time sit-to-stand (r = -0.45 ~ -0.54). Lower back maximal acceleration was tend to small in subjects reporting falls, a fear of falling or a mobility limitation compared to those who didn’t report it. Conclusions: Lower back maximal acceleration can be a valid parameter for the quantification of the lower-limb function in older adults.

Sacred succession: Michelangelo's medallions in Renaissance Rome

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The current body of scholarship concerning the ten bronze medallions on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel provides a detailed discussion of the Old Testament imagery depicted as well as theories on their relation to the overall fresco program. Building on this iconology as well as the original patron's emulation of King Solomon, the following thesis proposes that the Sistine Ceiling medallions also reference the First Temple, built by Solomon, in ancient Jerusalem. It will be argued that, together with the Chapel's dimensions and the inscription on Pietro Perugino's Delivery of the Keys fresco panel, the medallions were intended to proclaim the commissioning patron's Solomonic role in the succession of Rome over Jerusalem as the religious capital of the world.

description: We explore a novel process in the early Universe in which thermalized photons are converted into gravitons in the presence of strong primordial magnetic fields. It is found that the frequency of generated gravitational waves (GWs) is typically of order of GHz and their amplitude can be up to $ Ω_\mathrm{GW}h^2 \sim 10^{-10}$. If detected with future developments of the technology to explore this frequency region, the produced stochastic GW background enables us to know when and how strong the primordial magnetic fields are generated. From the peak frequency of the GWs, we can also probe the number of relativistic degrees of freedom at that time.

Stochastic quantisation of locally supersymmetric models

description: Stochastic quantisation normally involves the introduction of a fictitious extra time parameter, which is taken to infinity so that the system evolves to an equilibrium state.In the case of a locally supersymmetric theory, an interesting new possibility arises due to the existence of a Nicolai map. In this case it turns out that no additional time parameter is required, as the existence of the Nicolai map ensures that the same job can be done by the existing time parameter after Euclideanisation. This provides the quantum theory with a natural probabilistic interpretation, without any reference to the concept of an inner product or a Hilbert space structure.

description: We study the star matter properties for Hybrid equation of state (EoS) by varying the bag constant. We use the Effective-Field-Theory motivated Relativistic Mean-Field model (E-RMF) for hadron phase with recently reported FSUGarnet, G3 and IOPB-I parameter sets. The result of NL3 and NL3${ωρ}$ sets are also shown for comparison. The simple MIT Bag model is applied for the quark phase to construct the hybrid EoS. The hybrid neutron star mass and radius are calculated by varying with $B^{1/4}$ to constrain the $B^{1/4}$ values. It is found that $B^{1/4}$=130-160 MeV is suitable for explaining the quark matter in neutron stars.

description: Background: Interest in the study of activity participation has grown substantially in previous research. Little is known about the association between daily activity and physical activity (PA). Purpose: To study the relationship between activity participation, specific activities and PA in Chinese mid-to-old, retired adults. Methods: People aged 50 years older, retired, healthy were invited into the phone survey. The 21-item daily activity checklist was used to measure daily activity. PA level was measured by International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ-SF). Bivariate correlations were conducted with all variables; regression was conducted with those activities significantly associated with PA. Results: The sample comprises 138 participants (age: 65.64 ± 6.64) from both sexes (25% male and 75% female). Participants engaged in an average of 12 activities per week. The number of daily activities engaged has a significant positive association with PA level (r = 0.285, p < 0.05). Among specific activity, providing childcare was the only activity negative associated with PA significantly, doing exercise with families, visiting, chatting through mobile phone and doing exercises with friends were significantly positive associated with PA. Providing childcare, doing exercises with friends and families also significantly predicted PA, R2 = 0.199, F (3, 134) = 7.258, p < .000. Conclusions: Providing childcare is likely to have a ‘side effect’ at PA level in Chinese retired adults. Future intervention studies could also consider adding the social component such as visiting and connecting through mobile phone with friends. Funding: N/A.
