description: We introduce a suitable adapted ordering for the twisted N=2 superconformal algebra (i.e. with mixed boundary conditions for the fermionic fields). We show that the ordering kernels for complete Verma modules have two elements and the ordering kernels for G-closed Verma modules just one. Therefore, spaces of singular vectors may be two-dimensional for complete Verma modules whilst for G-closed Verma modules they can only be one-dimensional. We give all singular vectors for the levels 1/2, 1, and 3/2 for both complete Verma modules and G-closed Verma modules. We also give explicit examples of degenerate cases with two-dimensional singular vector spaces in complete Verma modules. General expressions are conjectured for the relevant terms of all (primitive) singular vectors, i.e. for the coefficients with respect to the ordering kernel. These expressions allow to identify all degenerate cases as well as all G-closed singular vectors. They also lead to the discovery of subsingular vectors for the twisted N=2 superconformal algebra. Explicit examples of these subsingular vectors are given for the levels 1/2, 1, and 3/2. Finally, the multiplication rules for singular vector operators are derived using the ordering kernel coefficients. This sets the basis for the analysis of the twisted N=2 embedding diagrams.

description: Steprans provided a characterization of betaN\N in the aleph_2-Cohen model that is much in the spirit of Parovicenko's characterization of this space under CH. A variety of the topological results established in the Cohen model can be deduced directly from the properties of betaN\N or P(N)/fin that feature in Steprans' result.

description: We describe general classes of 6D and 4D F-theory models with gauge group $(\operatorname{SU}(3) \times \operatorname{SU}(2) \times \operatorname{U}(1)) / \mathbb{Z}_6$. We prove that this set of constructions gives all possible consistent 6D supergravity theories with no tensor multiplets having this gauge group and the corresponding generic matter representations, which include those of the MSSM. We expect, though do not prove, that these models are similarly generic for 6D theories with tensor multiplets and for 4D $\mathcal{N} = 1$ supergravity theories. The largest class of these constructions comes from deforming an underlying geometry with gauge symmetry $\operatorname{SU}(4) \times \operatorname{SU}(3) \times \operatorname{SU}(2)$.

The outer oxygen atoms as well as the rung and leg oxygen atoms are included along with near-neighbor and oxygen-hopping matrix elements. This system allows us to study the effects of hole and electron doping on a system which is a charge transfer insulator at a filling of one hole per Cu and exhibits power law, d-wave-like pairing correlations when doped. In particular, we focus on the differences between doping with holes or electrons.

description: Herein, we report the attenuated impact of bioinspired nanoparticles on the essential function of lung surfactant. Colloidal particles made from poly(lactide) caused a significant loss of surfactant protein B (and C) from a natural lung surfactant accompanied by a decline in surface activity under static conditions and surface area cycling. No such perturbation of lung surfactant composition and function was observed for polymer nanoparticles coated with bioinspired poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC). More specifically, increasing the PMPC-coating layer thickness (≥3 nm) and density (dense conformation, distance of individual polymer chains of ≤3 nm) on the polymer nanoparticle surface diminished bioadverse events. PMPC-coated poly(lactide) nanoparticles provoked a less severe perturbation of the utilized lung surfactant when compared to colloidal counterparts coated with poly(ethylene glycol). Overall, a steric shielding of colloidal drug delivery vehicles with bioinspired PMPC can be considered as a valuable approach for the rationale development of biocompatible nanomedicines intended for lung delivery.

 Type locality: North Atlantic Ocean, United States, off eastern Florida, Key West and Dry Tortugas, and the Gulf of Mexico; 247–732 m.
 Known range: Gulf of Mexico.
 Occurrence at vents or seeps: methane seeps off Louisiana.
 Material: United States, eastern Florida, off Fernandina; 31°47′30″N, 79°49′W; Albatross sta. 2666; 494 m; 5 May 1886; USNM 14376 (holotype male). A substantial amount of paratypic material is also housed in the USNM collections; the reader is referred to Manning & Holthuis (1984) for collection-related data for the paratype specimens. Although Carney (1994) reported observations of this species from methane seeps off Louisiana, there is no mention of the collection of any specimens (see Carney, 1994: 151).
 Remarks: This species, originally assigned by Manning & Holthuis (1984) to the genus Geryon, was reported by Carney (1994) from methane seeps off Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico.

description: We observed quantum oscillations in thermoelectric and magnetic torque signals in non-centrosymmetric superconductor PbTaSe$_2$. One oscillatory frequency stems from the orbits formed by magnetic breakdown, while others are from two-dimensional-like Fermi surfaces near the topological nodal rings. Our comprehensive understanding of the Fermi surface topology of PbTaSe$_2$, including nailing down the Fermi level and detecting the Berry phases near the nodal rings, is crucial for searching plausible topological superconductivity in its bulk and surface states.

description: The exclusion principle of Maldacena and Strominger is seen to follow from deformed Heisenberg algebras associated with the chiral rings of S_N orbifold CFTs. These deformed algebras are related to quantum groups at roots of unity, and are interpreted as algebras of space-time field creation and annihilation operators. We also propose, as space-time origin of the stringy exclusion principle, that the $ADS_3 \times S^3$ space-time of the associated six-dimensional supergravity theory acquires, when quantum effects are taken into account, a non-commutative structure given by $SU_q(1,1) \times SU_q (2)$. Both remarks imply that finite N effects are captured by quantum groups $SL_q(2)$ with $q= e^{i π\over {N + 1}}$. This implies that a proper framework for the theories in question is given by gravity on a non-commutative spacetime with a q-deformation of field oscillators. An interesting consequence of this framework is a holographic interpretation for a product structure in the space of all unitary representations of the non-compact quantum group $SU_q(1,1)$ at roots of unity.

description: This work addresses the problem of block-online processing for multi-channel speech enhancement. Such processing is vital in scenarios with moving speakers and/or when very short utterances are processed, e.g., in voice assistant scenarios. We consider several variants of a system that performs beamforming supported by DNN-based voice activity detection (VAD) followed by post-filtering. The speaker is targeted through estimating relative transfer functions between microphones. Each block of the input signals is processed independently in order to make the method applicable in highly dynamic environments. Owing to the short length of the processed block, the statistics required by the beamformer are estimated less precisely. The influence of this inaccuracy is studied and compared to the processing regime when recordings are treated as one block (batch processing). The experimental evaluation of the proposed method is performed on large datasets of CHiME-4 and on another dataset featuring moving target speaker. The experiments are evaluated in terms of objective and perceptual criteria (such as signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) or perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ), respectively). Moreover, word error rate (WER) achieved by a baseline automatic speech recognition system is evaluated, for which the enhancement method serves as a front-end solution. The results indicate that the proposed method is robust with respect to short length of the processed block. Significant improvements in terms of the criteria and WER are observed even for the block length of 250 ms.

description: It is shown that the only associative algebras with a trivial center defined on functions of $\Rl^N$ by an integral kernel are generalized Moyal algebras, corresponding to some particular operator ordering. Similarly, the only such Lie algebras are generalized Moyal or Poisson Lie algebras. In both cases these structures are isomorphic respectively to the Moyal algebra, the Moyal Lie algebra and the Poisson Lie algebra. These results are independent of $N$, which is necessarily even, and generalize previous work on the subject.

We also show that the bilinear identity for the multicomponent Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy becomes, through a generalized Miwa map, a bilinear identity for the multidimensional quadrilateral lattice equations.

description: We present a quantitative analysis of the phonon lineshapes obtained by neutron inelastic scattering methods in the relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN). Differences in the shapes and apparent positions of the transverse acoustic (TA) and transverse optic (TO) phonon peaks measured in the (300) and (200) Brillouin zones at 690 K are well described by a simple model that couples the TA and soft TO modes in which the primary parameter is the wave vector and temperature-dependent TO linewidth Gamma(q,T). This mode-coupling picture provides a natural explanation for the uniform displacements of the polar nanoregions, discovered by Hirota et al., as the PNR result from the condensation of a soft TO mode that also contains a large acoustic component.

description: "Magnetic monopole" is an exotic quantum excitation in pyrochlore U(1) spin liquid, and its emergence is purely of quantum origin and has no classical analogue. We predict topological thermal Hall effect (TTHE) of "magnetic monopoles" and present this prediction through non-Kramers doublets. We observe that, when the external magnetic field polarizes the Ising component of the local moment, internally this corresponds to the induction of emergent dual U(1) gauge flux for the "magnetic monopoles". The motion of "magnetic monopoles" is then twisted by the induced dual gauge flux. This emergent Lorentz force on "magnetic monopoles" is the fundamental origin of TTHE. Therefore, TTHE would be a direct evidence of the "monopole"-gauge coupling and the emergent U(1) gauge structure in pyrochlore U(1) spin liquid. Our result does not depend strongly on our choice of non-Kramers doublets for our presentation, and can be well extended to Kramers doublets. Our prediction can be readily tested among the pyrochlore spin liquid candidate materials. We give a detailed discussion about the expectation for different pyrochlore magnets.

description: We give a simple construction of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand sequences of natural differential operators on a manifold equipped with a parabolic geometry. This method permits us to define the additional structure of a bilinear differential cup product on this sequence, satisfying a Leibniz rule up to curvature terms. It is not associative, but is part of an A-infinity algebra of multilinear differential operators, which we also obtain explicitly. We illustrate the construction in the case of conformal differential geometry, where the cup product provides a wide-reaching generalization of helicity raising and lowering for conformally invariant field equations.

description: A series of novel 8-substituted-N-(4-sulfamoylphenyl)quinoline-2-carboxamides was synthesised by the reaction of 8-hydroxy-N-(4-sulfamoylphenyl) quinoline-2-carboxamide with alkyl and benzyl halides. The compounds were assayed for carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitory activity against four hCA isoforms, hCA I, hCA II, hCA IV, and hCA IX. Barring hCA IX, all the isoforms were inhibited from low to high nanomolar range. hCA I was inhibited in the range of 61.9–8126 nM, with compound 5h having an inhibition constant of KI = 61.9 nM. hCA II was inhibited in the range of 33.0–8759 nM, with compound 5h having an inhibition constant of 33.0 nM and compounds 5a and 5b having inhibition constants of 88.4 and 85.7 nM, respectively. hCA IV was inhibited in the range of 657.2–6757 nM. Hence, compound 5h, possessing low nanomolar hCA I and II inhibition, can be selected as a lead for the design of novel CA I and II inhibitors.

Consumer behavior

description: The ways in which individuals act within the world around them and the ways in which individuals engage with commodities as consumers play a vital role in providing insight into innate human values and opportunities for growth. By exploring the seemingly mundane and small but meaningful ways individuals engage in the consumer process and space, fruitful data display an interconnected outline of cyclical pathways toward mending the gap between reality and desired individual values, identity, and behaviors. Building on literature from both sociological and adult learning fields, diverse avenues for decision making and strategic outcomes are highlighted to isolate an array of individual consumer experiences and subsequent triggers for ongoing learning and reflection.
      While consumer research has an extensive theoretical history, by dissecting the nuanced nature of the individual experience, this literature adds a vital layer to the evolving consumer narrative by integrating the hidden fruit of perceived failure. To achieve this, an exploratory study was designed to dissect the lives of 20 individual consumers and their experiences with the intersectionality between their values, identity, and learned consumption behaviors. Several prevalent findings of the study included the identification of self-directed learning as a driving force for enacting agency and lifelong development, the essential nature of motivational drivers that sustain overt and covert degrees of commitment to individual values and the vital presence of coping mechanisms as accessible entry points to engage with the identification and confrontation of shifting values and identity.
      By tracing socialized behaviors through seemingly mundane acts of consumerism, individuals unlock opportunities to evolve through the increased exposure of varying experiences of others. As such, by adopting practices grounded in radical transparency with self, innate barriers to aligned behaviors can transform into stepping stones for growth, deep renewal, and empowerment. Thus, by capturing identities and values in action, this narrative displays a portraiture of the distorted consumer space and the individuals that consume and are consumed within it.

description: This dissertation analyzes the influence of cultural philanthropy on 20th and 21st-century American literature. Modern cultural philanthropy emerged in the late 19th century out of the fortunes of wealthy industrialists such as Andrew Carnegie, and grew to be one of the three pillars of the 20th-century literary economy alongside the publishing market and the university system. I trace the origins and evolution of literary philanthropic institutions through authorial case studies to show how funding from the Guggenheim Foundation, the PEN American Center, the National Endowment for the Arts Literature Program, and the MacArthur Foundation have opened avenues for collective political action and individual aesthetic innovation alike, while at the same time extending the power and influence of institutions over the cultural sphere. Through readings of Walter Francis White, Langston Hughes, Philip Roth, Leslie Marmon Silko, Maxine Hong Kingston, and David Foster Wallace, I show how philanthropic institutions have sought to make modernity hospitable for writers—part of what John Dewey in the 1930s called modernity’s “lost individuals”—by incorporating them and their work into the American democratic project. The effect, I argue, has been the democratization of American literature and an unprecedented efflorescence of writing by the varied people and social groups that at once constitute America and its most profound aspirations. Literary philanthropy seeks to transform the literary imagination from a luxury for individual aesthetic ends into an integral component of the common good.

description: This paper systematically develops the resource theory of asymmetric distinguishability, as initiated roughly a decade ago [K. Matsumoto, arXiv:1010.1030 (2010)]. The key constituents of this resource theory are quantum boxes, consisting of a pair of quantum states, which can be manipulated for free by means of an arbitrary quantum channel. We introduce bits of asymmetric distinguishability as the basic currency in this resource theory, and we prove that it is a reversible resource theory in the asymptotic limit, with the quantum relative entropy being the fundamental rate of resource interconversion. The distillable distinguishability is the optimal rate at which a quantum box consisting of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) states can be converted to bits of asymmetric distinguishability, and the distinguishability cost is the optimal rate for the reverse transformation. Both of these quantities are equal to the quantum relative entropy. The exact one-shot distillable distinguishability is equal to the min-relative entropy, and the exact one-shot distinguishability cost is equal to the max-relative entropy. Generalizing these results, the approximate one-shot distillable distinguishability is equal to the smooth min-relative entropy, and the approximate one-shot distinguishability cost is equal to the smooth max-relative entropy. As a notable application of the former results, we prove that the optimal rate of asymptotic conversion from a pair of i.i.d. quantum states to another pair of i.i.d. quantum states is fully characterized by the ratio of their quantum relative entropies.

However our system is different from theirs in the points that we primarily use Hermiticity of a characteristic matrix of the system to characterize our system "symmetric", discuss the consistency of this system with reality condition, and show the characteristic speeds of the system.

description: A great number of studies have documented that there is a clear increasing trend in the global average temperature during the last century. Based on the scenario of business-as-usual, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projected that the global surface average temperature will exceed 4 °C by the end of 2100 compared to that in 1850-1890. Climate change has been regarded as the biggest global-health threat of the 21st century. Epidemiological studies have showed significant impacts of weather variation associated with climate change on population health, including transmission pattern of some infectious diseases, and most importantly suspected impacts geographical expansion and emergence and re-emergence of mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever, malaria and Japanese encephalitis, which has posed great health burden to Chinese population in its history. Mosquito-borne diseases are extremely sensitive to the weather variation, such as temperature, rainfall, humidity, etc. In China, although the impact of climate variation on important mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever and malaria, has been investigated in many countries, there are only a few studies conducted in China. Chinese people may suffer greater adverse impacts from climate change due to a higher population density, relatively crowded living conditions, and poor socio-economic status. A series of individual but interrelated studies were carried out for this dissertation. The overall objective was to provide a comprehensive analysis of potential impacts of weather variability on the dynamics of mosquitoes and transmission pattern of major mosquito-borne diseases in the context of climate change.

description: Biosynthetic procedure is the best alternative to the preparation of nonmaterials as the challenges faced by the scientist from the last few decades. Present research reports cost-effective, inexpensive eco-friendly synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles using a methanolic extract of fruits peel agro-waste. X-ray diffraction spectrum of identified TiO2NPs found noncrystalline in nature. Fourier transform infrared showed O–H, C = O, C–O, and C–H functional groups present in the fruit peel involved in the biosynthesis of TiO2NPs. The prominent peak at 1708, 1720 and 1700 cm−1 observed in the spectrum attributed to O–Ti–O stretching in Plum, Kiwi and Peach mediated TiO2NPs. The SEM images of all three TiO2NPs revealed cylindrical in shape. The size of TiO2NPs synthesized from Plum, Kiwi and Peach were found to be 47.1 and 63.2, 54.1 and 85.1 and 200 nm, respectively. All the TiO2NPs exhibited size- and dose-dependent antibacterial and antioxidant activities.

description: GENUS HYAS LEACH, 1814
 Remarks: The genus Hyas has been mentioned in only one vent-related study, a report of shallow-water subpolar North Atlantic hot vent communities at Kolbeinsey Island, Jan-Mayen Ridge, off northern Iceland (Fricke et al., 1989: 428, table 1, as Hyas sp.). Crabs were described by Fricke et al. as being ‘extremely rare... and probably of minor importance for the local food web’ at this site. To our knowledge, no collections were made of these crabs.

description: Sensor drift is a major problem in chemical sensors that re-quires addressing for reliable and accurate detection of chemical analytes. In this paper, we develop a causal convolutional neural network (CNN) with a Discrete Cosine Trans-form (DCT) layer to estimate the drift signal. In the DCT module, we apply soft-thresholding nonlinearity in the trans-form domain to denoise the data and obtain a sparse representation of the drift signal. The soft-threshold values are learned during training. Our results show that DCT layer-based CNNs are able to produce a slowly varying baseline drift signal. We train the CNN on synthetic data and test it on real chemical sensor data. Our results show that we can have an accurate and smooth drift estimate even when the observed sensor signal is very noisy.

description: Lipid lamellar hydrogels are rare soft fluids composed of a phospholipid lamellar phase instead of fibrillar networks. The mechanical properties of these materials are controlled by defects, induced by local accumulation of a polymer or surfactant in a classical lipid bilayer. Herein we report a new class of lipid lamellar hydrogels composed of one single bolaform glycosylated lipid obtained by fermentation. The lipid is self-organized into flat interdigitated membranes, stabilized by electrostatic repulsive forces and stacked in micrometer-sized lamellar domains. The defects in the membranes and the interconnection of the lamellar domains are responsible, from the nano- to the micrometer scales, for the elastic properties of the hydrogels. The lamellar structure is probed by combining small angle x-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS, SANS), the defect-rich lamellar domains are visualized by polarized light microscopy while the elastic properties are studied by oscillatory rheology. The latter show that both storage G' and loss G'' moduli scale as a weak power-law of the frequency, that can be fitted with fractional rheology models. The hydrogels possess rheo-thinning properties with second-scale recovery. We also show that ionic strength is not only necessary, as one could expect, to control the interactions in the lamellar phase but, most importantly, it directly controls the elastic properties of the lamellar gels.

Scattering phase shifts and mixing angles for an arbitrary number of coupled channels on the lattice

description: We present a lattice method for determining scattering phase shifts and mixing angles for the case of an arbitrary number of coupled channels. Previous nuclear lattice effective field theory simulations were restricted to mixing of up to two partial waves for scattering of two spin-$1/2$ particles, which is insufficient for analyzing nucleon-nucleus or nucleus-nucleus scattering processes. In the proposed method, the phase shifts and mixing angles are extracted from the radial wave functions obtained by projecting the three-dimensional lattice Hamiltonian onto the partial wave basis. We use a spherical wall potential as a boundary condition along with a channel-mixing auxiliary potential to construct the full-rank $S$ matrix. Our method can be applied to particles with any spin, but we focus here on scattering of two spin-$1$ bosons involving up to four coupled channels. For a considered test potential, the phase shifts and mixing angles extracted on the lattice are shown to agree with the ones calculated by solving the Schrödinger equation in the continuum.

title: The Constructed Forest: Weaving Landscape, Pattern and Ideas in Contemporary Art
Creators: name: Jackson, Jennie
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Culture and nature interaction
subject: Western motif of the forest
subject: Contemporary artworks

description: This research is relevant to the broader discussion of how culture and nature interact, by analysing and demonstrating how artworks can shed light on the ideas that contribute to longstanding and culturally deep-rooted attitudes to nature. The project questions if artworks can simultaneously trigger and blend ideas that are, in Western art, associated with either the natural or the cultural so as to erode categorical distinctions. This exegesis examines the ways concepts of nature and culture have played out in artworks over time, focusing on the Western motif of the forest. It explores how contemporary Australian artists have offered platforms to explain aspects of the complex relationship between people and their environment. This research investigates how the visual language of artworks (in particular, motifs, aesthetic conventions, and scale) can clarify how cultural ideas and values have been overlaid on the natural environment of the forest. It examines how traditional ideas of culture and nature are organised into strands of meaning that act as connective threads, linking the past and present. In contemporary artworks, these strands are woven together with new ideas to offer alternative ways of visualising the relationship between culture and nature. The resulting artworks give voice to ideas that transgress the traditional limits of culture and nature categories, thus shifting meanings and blurring boundaries.

description: The present work describes Quality by design (QbD)-oriented development of a reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for quantification of methotrexate (MTX). Initially, for performing HPLC studies with UV detector, an appropriate wavelength was selected using a novel technique of Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Risk assessment study was performed, followed by factor screening study using a fractional factorial design (FFD). Subsequently, factor optimization was conducted using a central composite design (CCD), with flow rate and mobile phase ratio as the critical method parameters (CMPs), and tailing factor (TF), theoretical plate count (TPC) and % assay selected as the critical analytical attributes (CAAs). Polynomial modeling was performed to embark upon an optimal solution, followed by numerical and graphical optimization. Chromatographic separation was conducted using the mobile phase composition of acetonitrile (ACN) and ammonium acetate buffer (10 mM, pH 6) in the ratio of 25:75 v/v, flow rate of 0.8 mL/min, column oven temperature of 40 °C, and UV detection at 257 nm. Further, the analytical method was validated as per ICH Q2(R1) guidelines for linearity, accuracy, precision, sensitivity and robustness, ratifying that all the parameters were within the acceptable limits for quantification of MTX.
