description: Grain surface chemistry and its treatment in gas-grain chemical models is an area of large uncertainty. Whilst laboratory experiments are making progress, there is still much that is unknown about grain surface chemistry. Further, the results and parameters produced by experiment are often not easily translated to the rate equation approach most commonly used in astrochemical modelling. It is possible that statistical methods can reduce the uncertainty in grain surface chemical networks. In this work, a simple model of grain surface chemistry in a molecular cloud is developed and a Bayesian inference of the reactions rates is performed through MCMC sampling. Using observational data of the solid state abundances of major chemical species in molecular clouds, the posterior distributions for the rates of seven reactions producing CO, CO$_2$, CH$_3$OH and H$_2$O are calculated, in a form that is suitable for rate equation models. This represents a vital first step in the development of a method to infer reaction rates from observations of chemical abundances in astrophysical environments.

description: A new theoretical framework for computation of the relic abundance of cold dark matter particles such as LSP is presented and some generic features of new results are discussed. The most important is a generalization of the Boltzmann equation to include off-shell effects and its thermal average over cosmic medium. It is shown that at very low temperatures, much below the mass of annihilating particles, equilibrium abundance is suppressed only by powers of temperature instead of the exponential Boltzmann factor. This change gives a larger relic abundance when heavy particles freeze out at these low temperatures.

description: Using a bead-spring model of bacterial DNA polymers of {\em C. crescentus} and {\em E. coli} we show that just $33$ and $38$ effective cross-links at special positions along the chain contour of the DNA can lead to the large-scale organization of the DNA polymer, where confinement effects of the cell walls play a key role in the organization. The positions of the $33$ cross-links along the chain contour are chosen from the contact map data of {\em C. crescentus}. We represent $1000$ base pairs as a coarse-grained monomer in our bead-spring flexible ring polymer model of the DNA. Thus a $4017$ beads on a flexible ring polymer represents the {\em C. crescentus} DNA with $4017$ kilo-base pairs. Choosing suitable parameters from our preceding study, we also incorporate the role of molecular crowders and the ability of the chain to release topological constraints. We validate our prediction of the organization of the {\em C. crescentus} with available experimental contact map data and also give a prediction of the approximate positions of different segments within the cell in 3D. For the {\em E. coli} chromosome with $4.6$ million base pairs, we need around $38$ effective cross-links with cylindrical confinement to organize the chromosome. We also predict the 3D organization of the {\em E. coli} chromosome segments within the cylinder which represents the cell wall.

description: Incorporation of a new knowledge into neural networks with simultaneous preservation of the previous one is known to be a nontrivial problem. This problem becomes even more complex when new knowledge is contained not in new training examples, but inside the parameters (connection weights) of another neural network. Here we propose and test two methods allowing combining the knowledge contained in separate networks. One method is based on a simple operation of summation of weights of constituent neural networks. Another method assumes incorporation of a new knowledge by modification of weights nonessential for the preservation of already stored information. We show that with these methods the knowledge from one network can be transferred into another one non-iteratively without requiring training sessions. The fused network operates efficiently, performing classification far better than a chance level. The efficiency of the methods is quantified on several publicly available data sets in classification tasks both for shallow and deep neural networks.

E-cigarette or vaping product use associated lung injury: an emergency medicine approach for early diagnosis and treatment
Creators: name: Ortiz-Bernal, Laura
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Introduction. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have gained popularity among the public leading to a catastrophic increase in use within recent years. An epidemic of E-cigarette or vaping product-use associated lung injury (EVALI) has killed 68 people and resulted in 2800 hospitalizations. EVALI presents with respiratory, gastrointestinal, and constitutional symptoms. A lack of provider knowledge exists regarding identification, screening, and management. No validated screening tools exist to screen for EVALI. A need for EVALI education among providers and standardized screening approaches is warranted. Methodology. Design: Pre and post-test, retrospective, and prospective chart review approach. Setting: An Emergency Department of a hospital in New Jersey. Sample: (N=50); 39 Registered Nurses, 6 Physicians, 4 Physician Assistants, and 1 Nurse Practitioner. Interventions: Implementation of an EVALI screening tool, a pre and post-test before and after an educational vaping seminar, retrospective and prospective chart reviews to identify EVALI patients, and Likert Scale Survey for participant feedback of EVALI screening tool. Results. A Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed a statistically significant increase in participant test scores. A 22% increase in vaping screening amongst all patients. There were 25 patients identified for possible EVALI via screening tool compared to 16 patients identified pre-intervention; 12.5% of patients received all recommended treatment pre-intervention and 24% post-intervention. There were 25% of patients that met CDC confirmed case EVALI pre-intervention and 12% post-intervention. However, 50% of patients identified prior received all of the CDC recommended treatment, and 100% of patients identified after received all treatment. Likert Survey results showed that the EVALI screening tool was effective, feasible, improved patient outcomes, improved provider competency, and recommended for sustained use.Conclusion. EVALI results in severe lung injury and death if gone unidentified or treated. The adolescent population is at the highest risk for acquiring EVALI. This study addressed the lack of provider knowledge of EVALI and was the first to use a screening tool to identify EVALI in the emergency department. This study paves the way for new methods and standardized approaches to screening the vaping population to identify EVALI in emergency medicine.

description: Abstract


Pastoralist communities have traditionally possessed extensive knowledge regarding the plants and grazing areas in their vicinity, acquired through continuous practice and meticulous observation. As members of the Borana pastoralist communities, the people residing in the Arereo District utilize a variety of plant resources found in their rangelands. In order to evaluate the traditional use of medicinal plants in treating human ailments in Arero District, Borena Zone, an ethnobotanical study was conducted. The primary objective of this study was to document the medicinal plants employed by the local community. Fifty-one key informants were purposefully selected to participate in the study. Data was obtained through the use of questionnaires, focus group discussions, and field observations. In the study area, a total of forty-four medicinal plant species belonging to thirty-six genera and twenty-four plant families, were identified and documented. These plants were reported to be used in the treatment of thirty-five different human ailments. Among the various plant parts used for medicinal purposes, roots were found to be the primary source of remedies (47.7%), followed by leaves (13.6%). Of the remedies documented, 59.7% were prepared for internal use, with oral consumption being the most common method (53.73%). Additionally, 40.3% of the remedies were intended for external applications. The decoction was the predominant method of remedy preparation, accounting for 41.8% of the remedies known in the study area. The findings indicated that the local community possessed valuable knowledge regarding the use, preparation, and application of medicinal plants for the treatment of human ailments. However, it was also noted that certain medicinal plants in the study area, such as Vachellia nilotica and Vachellia tortilis, were reported to be locally threatened. It is crucial to pay adequate attention to prevent further threats to these medicinal plants and to conserve them, along with the associated local knowledge. Efforts should be made to safeguard the medicinal plant resources in the study area, ensuring their sustainable use and preservation for future generations.

description: Abstract


Ethiopian agriculture is explained by low productivity, caused by a combination of demographic economic, constraints, and other factors such as-policy factors, drought, war, lack of basic infrastructure, etc. To improve this problem many of the researchers are focusing only on technical efficiency. So, technical and allocative efficiency are important in improving the productivity gains from existing technology. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed. The study was conducted using cross-sectional data. From 366 households randomly selected. The stochastic frontier function was used to estimate the level of technical efficiency (TE), allocative efficiency (AE), and economic efficiency (EE), whereas the Tobit model was used to identify factors affecting efficiency level. The mean TE, AE, and EE were 90.3%, 59.9%, and 76.4%, respectively. The Tobit model results revealed that Gender distance to market, access to credit, training, extension service, seed Variety, and group membership had a significant positive effect on TE, while household size and education level had a negative significant effect on TE. Age, gender, group membership, training, extension service, and seed variety had a positive significant effect on AE, however, household size had a negative significant effect on AE. Moreover, age, gender, group membership, training, extension service, and seed variety had a positive significant effect on EE. However, household size, experience, and distance to market had a negative significant effect on EE. The results showed that there is an opportunity to increase the efficiency of maize production in the study area through improving seed. Therefore, the policies and strategies in development and research may act on these variables to increase the efficiency level of maize producer farmers.

description: Abstract


Farmers in Ethiopia’s highlands are rapidly converting their agricultural land into Eucalyptus plantations, which may have socioeconomic and environmental implications for local communities. This study aims to assess the expansion of Eucalyptus tree plantations at the expense of other land use practices in Northwest Ethiopia, specifically in the Senan district, and the factors that contribute to it. Data was collected from 332


(166 Eucalyptus planter and 166 non-planter) households and analyzed using the binary logit model. Land use and land cover change in the study area were investigated using Landsat satellite images of four periods (1990, 2000, 2010, and 2021). The land use and land cover classes were categorized using a supervised classification method. The findings revealed a decrease in cropland from 58.4% in 2010 to 38.1% in 2021, whereas the vegetation cover, predominantly consisting of Eucalyptus, experienced an increase from 16.8% to 26.5% during the same period. The results of the binary logit analysis indicate that the age of the household head, the size of the farmers’ land, and savings had a positive and significant impact on the adoption of Eucalyptus plantation, while the family size of households, educational status, livestock ownership, and the fertility level of farmers’ land had a significant negative effect on Eucalyptus plantation. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct comparative studies to assess the impact of Eucalyptus plantations on the livelihoods of farmers, ensuring that their well-being is improved as a result..

description: The current understanding of radiation tollerance of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) is reviewd. Radiation damage in silicon sensors is briefly introduced, surface and bulk effects are separately addressed. Results on the operation of irradiated SiPMs with X-ray, gamma, electron, proton and neutron sources are presented. The most critical effect of radiation on SiPMs is the increase of dark count rate, which makes it impossible to resolve signals generated by a single photon from the noise. Methods to characterize irradiated SiPMs after their single photo-electron resolution is lost are discussed. Due to the important similarity in the operation below the breakdown voltage, also older studies on radiadion damage of avalange photodiodes (APD) are reviewed. Finally, ideas are presented on how to approach the development of radiation hard SiPMs in the future.

description: The motion of a one-dimensional kink and its energy losses are considered as a model of interaction of nontrivial topological field configurations with external fields. The approach is based on the calculation of the zero modes excitation probability in the external field. We study in the same way the interaction of the t'Hooft-Polyakov monopole with weak external fields. The basic idea is to treat the excitation of a monopole zero mode as the monopole displacement. The excitation is found perturbatively. As an example we consider the interaction of the t'Hooft-Polyakov monopole with an external uniform magnetic field.

Exploring the experiences of Puerto Rican teachers resisting the pull of migration
Creators: name: Lefevre Hernández, Tania
Publisher: name: University of Iowa
Year: 2024

description: This dissertation examined the motivations behind Puerto Rican teachers' decisions to remain on the island amidst significant challenges, including Hurricane Maria, seismic activities, and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as in the face of political turmoil, inflation, low salaries, and economic struggles rooted in the island's colonial status. Employing a qualitative approach, the study involved interviews with educators to uncover the reasons behind teachers’ choice to stay. Through the lens of care theory, the research investigated whether the teachers’ act of staying signified a commitment to caring for their community or if other compelling factors dominated their decision.
description: The findings revealed that teachers’ decisions to remain on the island were shaped by personal factors such as family ties, homeownership, and a strong cultural affiliation with Puerto Rico rather than solely professional commitment. Although participants did not specifically cite their students or the teaching profession as reasons for staying on the island, many emphasized that their students served as their primary motivation for continuing in the profession. This dissertation contributes to the discourse on teacher retention, resilience, and the critical role of educators in Puerto Rico.
description: By analyzing the role of care in educational settings and the broader implications for the Puerto Rican educational system amidst its crises, the study provides insights that may inform policy recommendations, support mechanisms, and strategies to enhance teacher well-being and student outcomes. The study’s limitations and assumptions are acknowledged, with a recognition that the findings represent the experiences of participants within their specific socio-political and geographical contexts.

description: Hilbert famously showed that polynomials in n variables are not too complicated, in various senses. For example, the Hilbert Syzygy Theorem shows that the process of resolving a module by free modules terminates in finitely many (in fact, at most n) steps, while the Hilbert Basis Theorem shows that the process of finding generators for an ideal also terminates in finitely many steps. These results laid the foundations for the modern algebraic study of polynomials. Hilbert's results are not uniform in n: unsurprisingly, polynomials in n variables will exhibit greater complexity as n increases. However, an array of recent work has shown that in a certain regime---namely, that where the number of polynomials and their degrees are fixed---the complexity of polynomials (in various senses) remains bounded even as the number of variables goes to infinity. We refer to this as Stillman uniformity, since Stillman's Conjecture provided the motivating example. The purpose of this paper is to give an exposition of Stillman uniformity, including: the circle of ideas initiated by Ananyan and Hochster in their proof of Stillman's Conjecture, the followup results that clarified and expanded on those ideas, and the implications for understanding polynomials in many variables.

description: Neutrinoless double beta decay belongs to the most sensitive tools for the search of new physics beyond the standard model. The recent half life limit of the Heidelberg-Moscow experiment implies restrictive bounds on the absolute mass scale in the neutrino sector. Possible improvements by the GENIUS project provide a unique possibility to reconstruct the neutrino mass spectrum. Further constraints on new interactions in the neutrino sector are given in a model-independent way. Consequences for neutrino anomalies and theories beyond the standard model such as left-right symmetric models, R-parity violating SUSY and leptoquarks are discussed.

description: Abstract


Bus stop accessibility is a vital component of a successful transportation system. This study aimed to investigate the network characteristics of bus stop locations and evaluate bus service users’ satisfaction. The road networks were digitized from aerial photographs and the locations of the bus stops were collected by Handheld GPS to assess the accessibility of bus stops. Additionally, an administered questionnaire related to service quality was collected to evaluate the bus transportation service quality provided by Dilla University. Network analysis techniques were employed to analyze the spatial distribution and accessibility of bus stops. The bus stop coverage ratio index was determined from the ideal access coverage and the actual access coverage of bus stops. The SCRI result indicates Getsmart Bus stop has the highest value (0.96), suggesting that it has a high level of functionality for its surrounding area. On the other hand, the bus stop with the lowest value (0.60) is ‘Molla Golja’. The findings of the study highlighted significant variations in bus stop coverage, indicating differences in accessibility among the stops. The questionnaire survey results showed that passengers were not generally satisfied with the bus service. In summary, the network analysis is useful for identifying areas with low accessibility and areas where improvements are needed.The significance of this study extends beyond providing solely to the needs of Dilla University administrators for creating a more efficient and user-friendly transportation system for their workers and the wider community. It is useful for the Dilla Town Administrative Road Transport Office and other organizations seeking to improve transportation systems.

description: The shape function f(k_+) describes Fermi motion effects in inclusive semi-leptonic decays such as B -> X_u+e+nu near the end-point of the lepton spectrum. We compute the leading one-loop corrections to the shape function f(k_+) in the effective theory with a hard cut-off regularization. The matching constant onto full QCD is infrared safe, i.e. the leading infrared singularity represented by the term log^2(k_+) cancels in the difference of integrals. We compare the hard cut-off result with the result in dimensional regularization, the latter containing an additional factor of two in the coefficient of the log^2(k_+) term, and consequently requiring an oversubtraction.

Types Mus. Comp. Zool. Harvard.
Etymology Gr noar, phantom.
Diagnosis A member of the diligens group, somewhat similar to accinota, alpestris, and cameroni of South America, but very distinct from these and other species of the group in the following combination of traits.
Major: body concolorous yellow, appendages pale yellow; eye pear-shaped, coming to a small point at its anterior edge; propodeal spine half as long as the basal propodeal face; body almost entirely smooth and shiny.
Minor: pale yellow; propodeal spine thin, needle-like; humerus in dorsal-oblique view denticulate; body almost completely smooth and shiny; carinulae completely absent from head and body, including antennal fossae. measurements (mm) Holotype major: HW 1.04, HL 1.10, SL 0.70, EL 0.20, PW 0.50. Paratype minor: HW 0.42, HL 0.48, SL 0.60, EL 0.10, PW 0.28.
Color Major: concolorous yellow, mandibles brownish yellow, other appendages pale yellow. Minor: body and appendages concolorous pale yellow. Range Known only from the type locality.
Biology Discovered by Philip S. Ward foraging on the ground in the Cabo Rojo coastal desert. Its pale color suggests that this surprising species is probably nocturnal. A male was collected with the type colony (9 September).

description: Purpose of Project: In order to mitigate the adverse effects of excessive disruptions in workflow caused by a high volume of telephone calls, identifying the nature of these disruptions crucial. The focus of this project was to evaluate and identify the nature of the telephone calls being placed to Pediatric Rheumatology and Gastroenterology ambulatory care sites at a large medical site in New Jersey. The high volume of calls being handled at these sites are taking away from patient and provider time, causing delays in care, and can hinder safe, quality, and effective medical care.Methodology: This evaluation project utilized secondary data analysis of telephone call log data associated with Pediatric Rheumatology and Gastroenterology ambulatory care sites at a comprehensive pediatric medical center in New Jersey. Retrospective call log data collection facilitated the review of relevant information that was used to identify and classify the nature of calls. Results: Of the 128 calls that were logged from August 2020-September 2020 at the Pediatric Gastroenterology ambulatory care site, the common classifications for calls were: patients seeking medical advice, seeking their lab results, prior authorization encounters, prescription questions, and medication refill requests. Telephone communication encounters that required the longest handling time included callers inquiring about the status of a medical order, calls concerning the prior authorization process, and calls regarding scheduling. Of the 805 nurse handled calls that were logged at the Pediatric Rheumatology ambulatory care site from September 2020 -August 2020, the most common classifications for calls were: regarding patient lab results, patients seeking medical advice, patient follow up calls after treatment, and prescription refill requests. Telephone communication encounters that required the longest handling time included patient demographic updates, calls concerning the prior authorization process, scheduling, and review of lab results.Implications: The findings of this project can assist future clinical practice by providing insight as to the type of call patterns and themes that may be experienced in similar practice settings. The complex and multifaceted natures of these call trends demonstrate the need for a multilayered approach to improve practice.

description: Quarkonium production in high-energy hadronic collisions provides a fundamental test of QCD. Its modification in a nuclear medium is a sensitive probe of the space-time temperature profile and transport properties of the QGP, yielding constraints complementary to the ones obtained from the quenching of light hadrons and jets, and open heavy flavor. In these proceedings, we report new results for the suppression of high transverse momentum charmonium [$J/ψ,\, ψ(2S)$] and bottomonium [$Υ(1S),\, Υ(2S),\, Υ(3S)$] states in Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Our theoretical formalism combines the collisional dissociation of quarkonia, as they propagate in the quark-gluon plasma, with the thermal wavefunction effects due to the screening of the $Q\bar{Q}$ attractive potential in the medium. We find that a good description of the relative suppression of the ground and higher excited quarkonium states, transverse momentum and centrality distributions is achieved, when comparison to measurements at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV is performed. Theoretical predictions for the highest Pb+Pb center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV at the LHC, where new experimental results are being finalized are presented. Preliminary calculations for smaller systems, such as Xe+Xe are also shown. Last but not least, the potential of jet substructure to shed light in the mechanisms of heavy flavor production is discussed.

description: Pheidole nubila Emery, new status
Pheidole triconstricta var. nubila Emery 1906c: 153.
Types Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat. Genova.
Etymology L nubila, cloudy, probably referring to the more foveolate and opaque condition of the body that distinguishes the form from triconstricta.
Diagnosis A member of the diligens group distinguished as follows.
Major: pronotal dorsum bilobous (hence, promesonotum trilobous) in dorsal-oblique view; extremely sparse pilosity, which is entirely absent on the mesosoma; dense longitudinal carinulae covering all the frontal lobes and extending back over the vertex; rugoreticulum mesad to the eyes.
Minor: all of body except the gaster foveolate and opaque; pronotum with a second convexity in dorsal-oblique view.
Close to triconstricta, differing (among other traits) in the more extensive foveolae and carinulae, as well as thinner petiolar node, of the major; and darker color of both castes (q.v.).
