Can Different Cultures Think the Same Thoughts? A Comparative Study in Metaphysics and Ethics
Creators: name: Dorter, Kenneth
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2023

description: Kenneth Dorter's _Can Different Cultures Think the Same Thoughts?_ is a study of fundamental issues in metaphysics and ethics across major philosophical traditions of the world, including the way in which metaphysics can be a foundation for ethics, as well as the importance of metaphysics on its own terms. Dorter examines such questions through a detailed comparison of selected major thinkers and classic works in three global philosophical traditions, those of India, China, and the West.\u000a\u000aIn each chapter Dorter juxtaposes and compares two or more philosophers or classic works from different traditions, from Spinoza and Shankara, to Confucius and Plato, to Marcus Aurelius and the Bhagavad Gita. In doing so he explores different perspectivesand reveals limitations and assumptions that might otherwise be obscure. \u000a\u000aThe goal of Dorter's cross-cultural approach is to consider how far works from different cultures can be understood as holding comparable philosophical views. Although Dorter reveals commonalities across the different traditions, he makes no claim that there is such a thing as a universal philosophy. Clearly there are fundamental disagreements among the philosophers and works studied. Yet in each of the case studies of a particular chapter, we can discover a shared, or at least analogous, way of looking at issues across different cultures. All those interested in metaphysics, ethics, Indian philosophy, Chinese philosophy, and comparative philosophy will find much of interest in this book.
Studies on adenyl cyclase in heart and skeletal muscle
Creators: name: Severson, David Lester
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The kinetic properties of adenyl cyclase in heart and skeletal muscle were examined to determine the mechanisms by which hormones and other regulatory agents stimulate the formation of adenosine 3',5’-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP). Experiments were performed with washed particles and lithium bromide-extracted particulate enzyme preparations from guinea pig or rabbit heart. Myocardial adenyl cyclase was stimulated by concentrations of metal ions in excess of the ATP concentration. Metal ions apparently bind to some second site on the enzyme in addition to the catalytic site and as a consequence increase reaction velocity. Manganese was more effective than magnesium in activating the cardiac enzyme; cobalt was less effective. The K[sub a] for manganese was 0.7 mM in comparison to 3 mM for magnesium. The K[sub m] for ATP was 0.1 mM; metal ions increased maximal velocity without altering the substrate affinity of the enzyme. Concentrations of ATP in excess of the metal ion concentration resulted in inhibition of myocardial adenyl cyclase due to competition with the enzyme for metal ions. Adenyl cyclase was also studied in rabbit skeletal muscle plasma membrane preparations. Isolation of plasma membranes resulted in a ten to twenty-fold increase in specific enzyme activity with a yield of approximately 30 per cent of the adenyl cyclase activity of the whole homogenate. Phase contrast microscopy as well as the analysis of the chemical composition and various enzyme activities suggested that the membrane preparations consisted of highly purified plasma membranes. The K[sub a] for magnesium was 3 to 5 mM and the K[sub m] for ATP was approximately 0.3 mM. Magnesium increased the reaction velocity at all concentrations of substrate, presumably by binding to some second site. The stimulation of skeletal muscle adenyl cyclase by fluoride was markedly temperature sensitive and partially irreversible. Fluoride-stimulated enzyme activity was particularly sensitive to inhibition by pyrophosphate; pyrophosphate inhibition was competitive with respect to ATP (K[sub i], 0.45 mM). The relative potencies of catecholamines in stimulating enzyme activity and the inhibition of the epinephrine stimulation by propranolol indicated some relationship between adenyl cyclase and the beta-adrenergic receptor. The stimulation by epinephrine was enhanced by the addition of low concentrations of GTP or GDP; guanyl nucleotides had little or no effect on basal or fluoride-stimulated adenyl cyclase activity. The kinetic nature of the stimulation by fluoride and epinephrine was identical. Both epinephrine and fluoride increased maximal velocity without affecting the affinity of the enzyme for magnesium or ATP. Thus, the regulation of adenyl cyclase in heart and skeletal muscle can be described as a "V" allosteric system. The properties of adenyl cyclase are discussed in relation to the involvement of the enzyme in a hormone informational transfer unit.

description: We solve the Riemann problem for the deceleration of an arbitrarily magnetized relativistic flow injected into a static unmagnetized medium in one dimension. We find that for the same initial Lorentz factor, the reverse shock becomes progressively weaker with increasing magnetization σ(the Poynting-to kinetic energy flux ratio), and the shock becomes a rarefaction wave when σexceeds a critical value, σ_c, defined by the balance between the magnetic pressure in the flow and the thermal pressure in the forward shock. In the rarefaction wave regime, we find that the rarefied region is accelerated to a Lorentz factor that is significantly larger than the initial value. This acceleration mechanism is due to the strong magnetic pressure in the flow. We discuss the implications of these results for models of gamma-ray bursts and active galactic nuclei.

description: In the present work the generation of zonal flows in collisionless trapped electron mode (TEM) turbulence is studied analytically. A reduced model for TEM turbulence is utilized based on an advanced fluid model for reactive drift waves. An analytical expression for the zonal flow growth rate is derived and compared with the linear TEM growth, and its scaling with plasma parameters is examined for typical tokamak parameter values.

description: We report on the synthesis and structural characterization of the magnetocaloric FeMnP$_{0.75}$Si$_{0.25}$ compound. Two types of samples (as quenched and annealed) were synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. We have found that minute changes in the degree of crystallographic order causes a large change in the magnetic properties. The annealed sample, with higher degree of order is antiferromagnetic with a zero net moment. The as-quenched sample has a net moment of 1.26 $μ_B$/f.u. and ferrimagnetic-like behavior. Theoretical calculations give rather large values for the Fe and Mn magnetic moments, both when occupied on the tetrahedral and pyramidal lattice site. The largest being the Mn moment for the pyramidal site reaches values as high as 2.8 $μ_B$/atom.

Linear Time Encoding of LDPC Codes
Creators: name: Lu, Jin
name: Moura, José M. F.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this paper, we propose a linear complexity encoding method for arbitrary LDPC codes. We start from a simple graph-based encoding method ``label-and-decide.'' We prove that the ``label-and-decide'' method is applicable to Tanner graphs with a hierarchical structure--pseudo-trees-- and that the resulting encoding complexity is linear with the code block length. Next, we define a second type of Tanner graphs--the encoding stopping set. The encoding stopping set is encoded in linear complexity by a revised label-and-decide algorithm--the ``label-decide-recompute.'' Finally, we prove that any Tanner graph can be partitioned into encoding stopping sets and pseudo-trees. By encoding each encoding stopping set or pseudo-tree sequentially, we develop a linear complexity encoding method for general LDPC codes where the encoding complexity is proved to be less than $4 \cdot M \cdot (\overline{k} - 1)$, where $M$ is the number of independent rows in the parity check matrix and $\overline{k}$ represents the mean row weight of the parity check matrix.

The influence of hypothesis disconfirmation on attribution error in juror perceptions of confession evidence
Creators: name: Porter, KM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Jurors are vulnerable to an array of cognitive biases that can result in an over-belief of confession evidence. A combination of automatic acceptance, self-serving expectations and the Fundamental Attribution Error may result in an initial hypothesis of guilt, with confirmation bias reinforcing this with the evaluation of subsequent evidence. There were two main aims of this research. First, to examine the extent to which mock jurors are sensitive to inconsistencies in confessions. Second, to test the capacity of a hypothesis disconfirmation intervention to enhance sensitivity to inconsistencies by encouraging mock jurors to more critically evaluate confession evidence. The online study followed a 2 (confession strength: weak, strong) x 3 (hypothesis disconfirmation: pre-confession, post-confession, control) between-subjects design. Participants read a police report detailing the facts of a crime and a signed confession statement (either weak and inconsistent with the police report, or strong and consistent). Participants in hypothesis disconfirmation conditions listed up to 10 reasons why someone might falsely confess. Confession strength had a significant main effect on perceived consistency of confession evidence (p<.001), verdict (p=.004) and verdict preference (p=.006), while perceived likelihood of guilt bordered on significance (p=.053). Neither the hypothesis disconfirmation nor the strength x hypothesis disconfirmation interaction had any significant main effects on any of the dependent variables (p>.05). It seems, mock jurors were sufficiently sensitive to inconsistencies in the confession evidence, leaving little room for the hypothesis disconfirmation to have any effect. Before hypothesis disconfirmation is labelled as an ineffective technique for encouraging jurors to more critically evaluate confession evidence, its efficacy should first be tested in cases where jurors' over-belief in confession evidence is more pronounced.

description: The longitudinal magnetic susceptibility of single crystals of the molecular magnet Mn$_{12}$-acetate obeys a Curie-Weiss law, indicating a transition to a ferromagnetic phase due to dipolar interactions. With increasing magnetic field applied transverse to the easy axis, the transition temperature decreases considerably more rapidly than predicted by mean field theory to a T=0 quantum critical point. Our results are consistent with an effective Hamiltonian for a random-field Ising ferromagnet in a transverse field, where the randomness is induced by an external field applied to Mn$_{12}$-acetate crystals that are known to have an intrinsic distribution of locally tilted magnetic easy axes.

Smrti : a study in the sacralization of social processes
Creators: name: Smith, Patricia Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the advantages of adopting a sociological approach to the study of the smrti literature of India. For this purpose a functional-sociological approach is outlined by extrapolating and combining classical, sociological principles taken from the writings of Emile Durkheim, Max Weber and Peter Berger. The approach is designed to illustrate the three principal phases in the sacralization of social processes--explanation, legitimation and perpetuation. In Chapter One these three phases are discussed and defined with the aid of Emile Durkheim's and Mircea Eliade's concepts of the sacred, Max Weber's concepts of rationalization, legitimacy, traditionalism and charisma, and Peter Berger's concepts of cosmization, 'world-construction', 'world-maintenance' and plausibility structure. In Chapters Two and Three this approach is applied to three of the major smrti texts--The Visnu Purana, The Manu Smrti and the Mahabharata. Each of these texts admirably illustrates one phase of the sacralization process. In addition, the three aspects of the Indian concept, dharma--cosmis, social and individual--are discussed in terms of sacralization process. The advantages of this type of approach to smrti literature lie in its ability to point to some of the reasons for Hinduism's historical emergence during the period of smrti literature, the fifth century B.C. to the fifth century A.D. Second, it demonstrates the relationship of the different genre of smrti to one another. Third, it provides a framework for the understanding of smrti which is familiar to non-Indians, and which harmonizes well with smrti as defined by the Indians themselves.

Improving study designs for assessing forestry impacts on the giant freshwater crayfish, Astacopsis gouldi
Creators: name: Pracejus, AM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This survey aimed at correlating the abundance of Astacopsis gouldi, the world's largest freshwater crayfish, with two different plantation types in Northern Tasmania. After a pilot study revealed inherent difficulties in relying on conventional methods to select suitable sampling sites, selection criteria were refined and ultimately improved through the use of species distribution modelling (MaxEnt). Accumulated mean annual run-off and mean annual rainfall stood out as important in the model and helped to reduce the proportion of intermittent streams in the data set. Analyses conclude that there is no observable plantation effect that correlates with crayfish abundance; however, this should be taken with caution because the sample size was too small to detect a potential effect on crayfish abundance. As a result, approximately 15-18 sites are recommended to be used per tested group. A classification tree further suggests that the presence of undercut banks, log jams and submerged logs might constitute important mesa-habitat features that should require further analysis in the future. The study is thus more recommendative in nature and should assist future researchers to develop effective sampling strategies to address the difficulties inherent in assessing crayfish abundance in plantation streams.

description: Using the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope we have detected the rotational ground-state transitions of ortho-ammonia and ortho-water toward the redshift ~0.89 absorbing galaxy in the PKS 1830-211 gravitational lens system. We discuss our observations in the context of recent space-borne data obtained for these lines with the SWAS and Odin satellites toward Galactic sources. We find commonalities, but also significant differences between the interstellar media in a galaxy at intermediate redshift and in the Milky Way. Future high-quality observations of the ground-state ammonia transition in PKS 1830-211, together with inversion line data, will lead to strong constraints on the variation of the proton to electron mass ratio over the past 7.2 Gyr.

description: Many indicators suggest a potential decline in the domestic farmworker supply, which is often presumed to have driven agricultural employers towards an increased reliance on the H-2A visa program. Since hiring H-2A workers is generally more expensive than employing domestic farmworkers, it remains to be seen if reductions in domestic farm employment could be fully offset by increased H-2A employment. In this study, we first examine whether a recent downturn in the employment of U.S.-based Mexicanborn workers is responsible for the recent rise in H-2A employment. Subsequently, we quantify the extent to which changes in domestic farm employment impact the employment of H-2A guest workers. Our results suggest that a structural shift in the domestic farm labor market around 2011 may be responsible for the recent increase in H-2A employment. However, the rise in H-2A worker employment has not fully compensated for the decrease in domestic farm employment.
Stochastic resonance in finite arrays of bistable elements with local coupling

description: In this article, we investigate the stochastic resonance (SR) effect in a finite array of noisy bistable systems with nearest-neighbor coupling driven by a weak time-periodic driving force. The array is characterized by a collective variable. By means of numerical simulations, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the gain are estimated as functions of the noise and the interaction coupling strength. A strong enhancement of the SR phenomenon for this collective variable in comparison with SR in single unit bistable systems is observed. Gains larger than unity are obtained for some parameter values and multi- frequency driving forces, indicating that the system is operating in a non-linear regime albeit the smallness of the driving amplitude. The large SNR values observed are basically due to the fact that the output fluctuations are small and short lived, in comparison with their typical values in a linear regime. A non-monotonic behavior of the SNR with the coupling strength is also obtained.

Students making meaning through language : case studies of Tasmanian primary school teachers' knowledge of teaching grammar
Creators: name: Routley, SL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study investigates how three Tasmanian primary school teachers have developed their knowledge of teaching grammar and the types of strategies they use to deliver the learning outcomes of the language strand of the Australian Curriculum: English (AC:E). The renewed focus on the teaching of grammar in the AC:E poses challenges for teachers in terms of the linguistic and pedagogical knowledge required to best support all students to use language more effectively. Research over the past three decades demonstrates that an explicit teaching focus on making meaning through language enhances students' reading and writing abilities and improves low-achieving students' literacy attainment. In this study, case studies were used to provide in-depth analyses of how teachers developed their knowledge of grammar and how they go about teaching it. An customised analytical framework was created and applied to the data to identify the degree of scaffolding provided to assist students use grammar effectively while reading and writing. This study finds that teachers with strong linguistic knowledge, who use scaffolded approaches to teaching grammar, contribute to enhanced outcomes for students, including those struggling with literacy and those who are already capable readers and writers. The study suggests that highly effective teachers are essential in assisting colleagues to develop better strategies for teaching grammar and that teachers can ensure equitable literacy instruction for all students when they utilise scaffolding strategies during discussion and when sequencing instruction.

description: The present investigation reports the potential of exemestane loaded cyclodextrin based nanosponges for the treatment of breast cancer. Fourier transform infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analysis confirmed the encapsulation of ring B, C, and D of exemestane in the nanosponge cavity. In vitro studies demonstrated a 6.58-folds increase in the aqueous solubility and a 1.76-folds increase in the dissolution of exemestane in the optimized nanosponge formulation EF2. It also exhibited enhanced cytotoxicity in MCF-7 cell line. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed a 1.37-fold increase in Cmax and a 2.10-fold increase in oral bioavailability of EF2, as compared to its marketed product Aromasin®. Concomitantly, this nano-formulation reduced the tumor burden to 45.71% in a DMBA-induced breast cancer rat model. This EF2-treatment also improved the hematological parameters of the animals. Histopathology of breast tissue also presented reduction in characteristic cytoarchitectural features of breast tumor. In vivo toxicity studies demonstrated reduced hepatotoxicity of the nanosponge formulation when compared with Aromasin®. These results were further supported by histological studies of excised liver tissues, where the size of hepatocytes in EF2-treated animals was like the normal hepatocyte size. In conclusion, the encapsulation of exemestane in β-cyclodextrin nanosponge along-with HPMC E5 improved its aqueous solubility, bioavailability, and ultimately therapeutic efficacy for the treatment of breast cancer.

We demonstrate that such a near-threshold resonance may possess quite peculiar properties if both quark and meson dynamics generate weakly coupled near-threshold poles in the S-matrix. In particular, the scattering t-matrix may possess zeros in this case. We also discuss possible implications for production reactions as well as studies within lattice QCD.

Operational and technological energy efficiency and decarbonisation potential of supply chains
Creators: name: Georgiou, Solomos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Supply chains can be energy intensive and present significant challenges towards their improvement in efficiency across multiple stages. The present work presents a modelling framework for identifying the stages and processes along supply chains which can offer the greatest potential in achieving savings in energy consumption. The identified stages in the present study are: production, transportation and storage/retail. To quantify and assess the potential for improvement in each of these three stages/processes, modelling frameworks are developed, tested and showcased. The modelling framework developed for the production stage shows the importance of glasshouses’ thermal envelope properties, operational parameters, as well as the impact of location and temporal variability on their energy performance. The transport stage is analysed while optimising the allocation and distribution of products in multi-echelon multi-period supply chains. Modelling frameworks employing deterministic and heuristic approaches are developed for this purpose. The addition of processing stages to these modelling frameworks show their ability to contribute towards better performance, particularly at higher vehicle capacities and for small stores. The retail/storage stage is found to be dominated by electricity consumption, particularly in the case of refrigerated products. The novel approach of electricity storage technologies as solutions towards savings is considered through the thermo-economic modelling of newly proposed thermo-mechanical systems. Their potential as energy solutions is found to be affected by both internal (e.g. roundtrip efficiency, capital costs) and external (e.g. renewable technologies present, electricity prices) factors. The ability to quantify and assess supply chains using standardised approaches can be a way towards mapping energy consumption, carbon emissions and energy costs. Analyses of outputs from such investigations can offer pathways for improvement as well as contribute to the development of strategies for setting and meeting environmental targets. Findings from this work present potential opportunities through the utilisation of the modelling frameworks developed.
Polymorphism in macrocystis integrifolia bory in relation to water motion
Creators: name: Pace, Danny Roy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A field study in three parts was undertaken to investigate the relationships between the habit of Macrocystis integrifolia Bory and water movement. Morphological variation in time within populations was related to seasonal changes in wind direction and speed. Four sites covering a wide range of exposures, yet characterized by essentially the same water properties were sampled throughout a period of one year. In this way valid comparisons could also be made between populations. The sites were all situated in the vicinity [sic] of Barn-field on the west coast of Vancouver Island, B.C. A spot sampling study was undertaken to determine whether the trends established in the above study apply consistently throughout the range of exposures covered by Macrocystis in local waters. Samples were obtained from Ucluelet on Vancouver Island to Warren Island in southern Alaska. Through these studies several aspects of the habit were found to reflect the prevailing dynamic conditions to which the plant had been subjected throughout its development. A transplant study was carried out among the continuous sampling sites to establish the mechanism of response to dynamic conditions. Growth data obtained through the transplant study indicated that stipe elongation and blade initiation vary directly with water movement. Growth of individual blades appears to be independent of this factor. The results of the transplant study supported by variations observed within plants and within populations with time strongly suggest that the mechanism of response is phenotypic plasticity. However, plants observed on the outer coast were, in some respects, markedly distinct. Thus the possibility of a second mechanism operating under conditions of genetic isolation has not been discounted.

description: We investigate how nonlocal entanglement, as identified by violations of a Bell inequality, may be protected during the evolution. Our system consists of two qubits each embedded in a bosonic reservoir evolving independently and initially in an entangled mixed state. We show that the violation of the Bell inequality can be related to the single-qubit population of excited state in such a way that, by appropriately choosing structured environments that give rise to sufficiently high values of population trapping, long-time protection of nonlocal entanglement can be correspondingly achieved.

New Varieties of Plants

description: The purpose of these guidelines (“Test Guidelines”) is to elaborate the principles contained in the General Introduction (document TG/1/3), and its associated TGP documents, into detailed practical guidance for the harmonized examination of distinctness, uniformity and stability (DUS) and, in particular, to identify appropriate characteristics for the examination of DUS and production of harmonized variety descriptions.

description: The suppression of single inclusive hadron spectra in heavy-ion collision as compared to the scaled expectation from proton-proton collisions has long been regarded as an interesting tool to study properties of the bulk matter in heavy-ion collisions. However, the limitations of this class of observables has become increasingly obvious, and both experimental and theoretical efforts are now made to go beyond single hadrons to fully reconstructed jets. Monte-Carlo simulations of in-medium parton showers are currently considered the most promising tool to theoretically access jet physics in heavy-ion collisions. In this paper, I review some of the first results obtained with the MC code YaJEM (Yet another Jet Energy-loss Model) for both single hadron and jet observables.

description: This research aimed to evaluate the effect of variables on exemestane-loaded bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (EXE-BSA NPs) to improve anti-breast cancer activity. EXE-BSA NPs were optimized using 32 factorial design, wherein the concentration of BSA (X1) and sonication time (X2) were independent variables and particle size (Y1) and %w/w entrapment efficiency (Y2) were dependent variables. The statistical optimization revealed a significant effect of BSA concentration on both variables, whereas sonication time affected only particle size. The optimized EXE-BSA NPs were spherical with 124.1 ± 2.62 nm particle size, 83.95 ± 1.06% w/w drug entrapment, and exhibited a biphasic release of 100% (w/w) drug over 72 h. The optimized formulation induced cytotoxicity in MCF-7 cell lines with an IC50 value of 21.46 µg/mL by MTT assay, almost half the free drug (54.87 µg/mL). Thus, statistically optimized EXE-BSA NPs were effective in MCF-7 cell lines and can be explored to treat estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.

Secondary English in the Australian curriculum : English teachers' perspectives of implementation in Tasmanian schools
Creators: name: Moran, AR
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This research, a qualitative case study (Roller & Lavrakas, 2015; Stake, 2006), focuses on the implementation processes of the Australian Curriculum: English in Tasmanian secondary schools 2012-2015. Curriculum reform, in Australia particularly, has often been difficult (Garsed, 2013; Marsh, 2009). Government control of the curriculum and education standard benchmark testing has resulted in reduced teacher agency. Teachers are only marginally included in the process of curriculum reform. Exclusion of teachers has a significant impact on classroom practice (Rowan, 2012b). This research is vital for consideration of future educational reform processes. The data for this research were obtained from eight schools which represented the three Tasmanian education sectors. This research has two main aims. Firstly, to describe Tasmanian teachers' perspectives of the implementation of the mandated Australian Curriculum and, secondly, to explore what professional needs teachers perceive as necessary to improve teacher practice during curriculum reform. Data were gathered from teacher participant questionnaire responses, follow-up semi-structured interviews, and extant texts. Constructivist grounded theory (Charmaz, 2000, 2001, 2006) and critical discourse analysis (Fairclough, 2001b, 2003) underpinned by poststructural feminist theory (Foucault, 1980, 2003), were used to determine and examine the dominant themes from the data. The themes which emerged from the employment of constructivist grounded theory were reconstructed into dominant discourses. The dominant discourses are informed by poststructural feminist theory (Foucault, 2003; Gee, 2011; Gee & Handford, 2012; Hiller, 1998). This research into teacher perspectives of education reform revealed tensions located in the Tasmanian educational system, particularly in schools. This research exposes the need for further research into the most appropriate reform processes to enhance professional capital (Darling-Hammond, Wilhoit, & Pittenger, 2014; Rogers, 2002a). This research contributes to the literature surrounding education reform experiences of teachers in the Tasmanian context, but also has implications for education reform globally.
Elastic modulus of a colloidal suspension of rigid spheres at rest

Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)

description: By modeling a colloidal suspension at rest as a solid, a new expression for the linear elastic modulus is obtained. This estimate is valid for a yield stress colloidal suspension submitted to a small strain. Interestingly, it is also possible to construct an hypothesis allowing one to recover the high-frequency modulus classically found by means of a classical ?fluid approach'. However, in most of the situations, the moduli obtained by the two approaches are different.
Generalized elliptic functions and their application to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem with $p$-Laplacian

description: The Jacobian elliptic functions are generalized and applied to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem with $p$-Laplacian. The eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenfunction are represented in terms of common parameters, and a complete description of the spectra and a closed form representation of the corresponding eigenfunctions are obtained. As a by-product of the representation, it turns out that a kind of solution is also a solution of another eigenvalue problem with $p/2$-Laplacian.

description: The focus of this study was to investigate the sensitivity of different drug formulations to differences in process parameters based on previously developed scale-up strategies. Three different formulations were used for scale-up experiments from a QbCon® 1 with a screw diameter of 16 mm and a throughput of 2 kg/h to a QbCon® 25 line with a screw diameter of 25 mm and a throughput of 25 kg/h. Two of those formulations were similar in their composition of excipients but had a different API added to the blend to investigate the effect of solubility of the API during twin-screw wet granulation, while the third formulation was based on a controlled release formulation with different excipients and a high fraction of HPMC. The L/S-ratio had to be set specifically for each formulation as depending on the binder and the overall composition the blends varied significantly in their response to water addition and their overall granulation behavior. Before milling there were large differences in granule size distributions based on scale (Earth Mover’s Distance 140–1100 µm, higher values indicating low similarity) for all formulations. However, no major differences in granule properties (e.g. Earth Mover’s Distance for GSDs: 23–88 µm) or tablet tensile strength (> 1.8 MPa at a compaction pressure of 200 MPa for all formulations with a coefficient of variation < 0.1, indicating high robustness for all formulations) were observed after milling, which allowed for a successful scale-up independent of the selected formulations.
