description: Wild African elephants are voracious eaters, consuming 190 g of food, or the weight of two corn cobs per minute. One of their methods for eating at this speed is to sweep food into a pile and then pick it up. In this combined experimental and theoretical study, we elucidate the elephant’s unique method of picking up a pile of food by compressing it with its trunk. To grab the smallest food items, the elephant forms a joint in its trunk, creating a pillar up to 11 cm tall that it uses to push down on food. Using a force sensor, we show the elephant applies greater force to smaller food pieces, in a manner that is required to solidify the particles into a lump solid, as calculated by Weibullian statistics. Elephants increase the height of the pillar with the force required, achieving up to 28% of the applied force using the self-weight of the pillar alone. This work shows that elephants are capable of modulating the force they apply to granular materials, taking advantage of their transition from fluid to solid. In the future, heavy robotic manipulators may also form joints to help them to compress objects together for lifting objects in groups.

description: The computer science research community has became increasingly interested in the study of social media due to their pervasiveness in the everyday life of millions of individuals. Methodological questions and technical challenges abound as more and more data from social platforms become available for analysis. This data deluge not only yields the unprecedented opportunity to unravel questions about online individuals' behavior at scale, but also allows to explore the potential perils that the massive adoption of social media brings to our society. These communication channels provide plenty of incentives (both economical and social) and opportunities for abuse. As social media activity became increasingly intertwined with the events in the offline world, individuals and organizations have found ways to exploit these platforms to spread misinformation, to attack and smear others, or to deceive and manipulate. During crises, social media have been effectively used for emergency response, but fear-mongering actions have also triggered mass hysteria and panic. Criminal gangs and terrorist organizations like ISIS adopt social media for propaganda and recruitment. Synthetic activity and social bots have been used to coordinate orchestrated astroturf campaigns, to manipulate political elections and the stock market. The lack of effective content verification systems on many of these platforms, including Twitter and Facebook, rises concerns when younger users become exposed to cyber-bulling, harassment, or hate speech, inducing risks like depression and suicide. This article illustrates some of the recent advances facing these issues and discusses what it remains to be done, including the challenges to address in the future to make social media a more useful and accessible, safer and healthier environment for all users.

title: An Exploration of Different Motivations Between Stakeholders and Visitors of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail
Creators: name: McCormack, Colin
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Visitors have different motivations associated with parks and protected areas, and the people who run those areas are also different from visitors due to their unique positions. This is especially true for the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail (POHE), where stakeholders – ranging from park managers and Department of Transportation planners to volunteers of nonprofits and historical societies collaborate to manage sections along the 822-mile extent of the trail. Building on previous work itemizing the diversity of motivations for visitation to parks and protected areas, this study investigates similarities and differences in stakeholder and manager Recreation Experience Preferences by clustering responses gathered from a Public Participation Geographic Information System (PPGIS) survey sent to stakeholders and collected from visitors onsite in 2021. Analysis using Multiple Correspondence Analysis and comparison of the demographic and visitor use characteristics associated with these two groups allows stakeholders to understand their demographic similarities and use differences to the visitors, as well as leverage a metric to understand how motivations change over time as demographics and visitor use patterns change. This tool also reinforces the wide range of motivations to this culturally and geographically diverse trail while upholding previous research in the field.
title: Exploring refugees and asylum seekers experience of group work for trauma: a qualitative study
Creators: name: Hanif, Nadia
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Trauma, complex trauma, refugees, asylum seekers, group intervention.

description: Background: Refugees and asylum seekers may experience complex post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of war, violence, torture and abuse. Treatment for this includes safety and stabilisation interventions, which aim to develop skills in understanding trauma and in regulating emotional distress. Group treatment can be effective, however for refugees and asylum seekers there could be certain issues, such as cultural and contextual differences, which could make their experience different. More research is required to investigate the types of interventions being used to treat refugees and asylum seekers. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were carried out with seven individuals, five of whom had interpreters. The interviews were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Three main overarching themes with eight sub-themes were constructed from the data. These examined what the ‘ingredients’ were for the group intervention, the delivery of the group intervention and contextual factors, that influenced refugees and asylum seekers’ experiences of the group intervention. Conclusions: Individuals developed a better understanding of their difficulties which helped them to manage their difficulties using the strategies taught in the safety and stabilisation group. Feeling safe and secure were found to be important within the group setting. Some individuals continued to experience anxiety, either in relation to the trauma they experienced or with regard to the asylum-seeking process. Individuals may benefit from additional support. Future research is required exploring the mechanisms involved in group interventions.

description: Jupiter's atmosphere features a variety of clouds that are formed from the interplay of chemistry and atmospheric dynamics, from the deep red color of the Great Red Spot to the high altitude white ammonia clouds present in the zones (bright bands in Jupiter's atmosphere). Beneath these upper level clouds, water condensation occurs, and sporadically leads to the formation of towering convective storms, driven by the release of large amounts of latent heat. These storms result in a widespread disruption of the cloud and dynamical structure of the atmosphere at the latitude where they form, making the study of these events paramount in understanding the dynamics at depth, and the role of water in the jovian atmosphere. In this work, we use the Explicit Planetary hybrid-Isentropic Coordinate (EPIC) General Circulation Model (GCM) to study the jovian atmosphere, with a focus on moist convective storm formation from water condensation. We present the addition of a sub-grid scale moist convective module to model convective water cloud formation. We focus on the $24^\circ$ N latitude, the location of a high speed jetstream, where convective upwellings have been observed every 4-5 years. We find that the potential of convection, and vertical mass and energy flux of the atmosphere is strongly correlated with the amount of water, and we determine an upper limit of the amount of water in the the region surrounding the jet as twice the solar [O/H] ratio.

description: Most approaches for assessing species vulnerability to climate change have focused on direct impacts via abiotic changes rather than indirect impacts mediated by changes in species interactions. Changes in rainfall regimes may influence species interactions from the bottom-up by increasing primary productivity in arid environments, but subsequently lead to less predictable top-down effects. Our study demonstrates how the effects of an ENSO-driven rainfall pulse ricochets along a chain of interactions between marine and terrestrial food webs, leading to enhanced predation of a vulnerable marine predator on its island breeding grounds. On Santa Barbara Island, barn owls (Tyto alba) are the main predator of a nocturnal seabird, the Scripps's murrelet (Synthliboramphus scrippsi), as well as an endemic deer mouse. We followed the links between rainfall, NDVI and subsequent peaks in mouse and owl abundance. After the mouse population declined steeply, there was approximately 15-fold increase in the number of murrelets killed by owls. We also simulated these dynamics with a mathematical model and demonstrate that bottom-up resource pulses can lead to subsequent declines in alternative prey. Our study highlights the need for understanding how species interactions will change with shifting rainfall patterns through the effects of ENSO under global change.

description: The saturation length of aeolian sand transport ($L_s$), characterizing the distance needed by wind-blown sand to adapt to changes in the wind shear, is essential for accurate modeling of the morphodynamics of Earth's sandy landscapes and for explaining the formation and shape of sand dunes. In the last decade, it has become a widely-accepted hypothesis that $L_s$ is proportional to the characteristic distance needed by transported particles to reach the wind speed (the ``drag length''). Here we challenge this hypothesis. From extensive numerical Discrete Element Method simulations, we find that, for medium and strong winds, $L_s\propto V_s^2/g$, where $V_s$ is the saturated value of the average speed of sand particles traveling above the surface and $g$ the gravitational constant. We show that this proportionality is consistent with a recent analytical model, in which the drag length is just one of four similarly important length scales relevant for sand transport saturation.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Availability of quality water for drinking purposes is important for the health and well-being of humans. The discharge of effluents containing dyes to water bodies increase the toxicity resulting in environmental pollution thereof. The treatment of water contaminated by dyes is thus essential. However, due to the intricate structure of many dyes, the treatment of water polluted by these chemicals is difficult and expensive. In this study, the suitability of banana peel to act as adsorbent for the removal of brilliant green, a cationic dye, from aqueous solutions was tested. The banana peel was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The removal efficiency of brilliant green by banana peel was tested by varying the contact time between the adsorbent and solution and the temperature at which the process was allowed to occur. The adsorption behaviour was described using the pseudo-first and pseudo-second order kinetic models. It was found that banana peel may be considered adequate for the removal of cationic dyes, such as brilliant green, from wastewater.
Boner Bridge : Structural health testing and modeling

description: The purpose of this project is to determine how healthy Boner bridge is using Structural Health
Monitoring (SMH). By determining the health of Boner bridge recommendations could then be
made to ensure the longevity of Boner Bridge and the capacity of the bridge. A visual inspection
of Boner bridge was first conducted on 05/10/19, this was to get a visual representation of the
health of the bridge. AutoCAD drawings were provided by Warrick County Highway
Department, these were modified to generate a 2D & 3D model in RISA. These models were
used to establish a baseline on the health of Boner bridge and would later be modified. Strain
gauge sensors and displacement sensors (LVDT) would be used to test Boner bridge and were
obtained through an innovation fund that Dr. Tennant, Dr. Hall, and Mr. Nelson were granted.
The sensors and software for the sensors were obtained through BDI. Using information gathered
from the visual inspection and the 2D & 3D models proposed members were selected to be
tested. The ASCE bridge was used as a practice bridge for placing and testing the strain gage
sensors. A more simplified structure was used to compare RISA results to the strain gauge
results. Testing on Boner Bridge was conducted on 10/04/19. The University of Southern Indiana
provided a passenger truck, which would be loaded and weighted prior to being driven on the
bridge. Sensors would then be placed on selected members of Boner bridge. The passenger truck
would then drive across Boner bridge stopping at specific points along Boner bridge. The results
from testing were then compared to the RISA 3D model and it was determined that six members
were within 15% error, four members were within 20% error, five members were within 25%
error and one member was within 35% error. Given the age of Boner bridge and the section
losses in the superstructure the percent error that was achieved was reasonable. Unity checks
were done on the longitudinal beams and transverse beams by hand, while unity checks on the
superstructure of Boner bridge were done in RISA 2D. It was determined that the capacity of
Boner bridge is approximately 6-Tons and 5-Ton load posting would be reasonable. Some
recommendations would be to replace the missing member in the approach span, repaint the
superstructure, patch any section loss in the cut stone abutments with grout or mortar, and
decrease the interval between visual inspections to once a year.

description: Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 and -5 (IGFBP-3 and -5) have been shown to bind insulin-like growth factor-I and -II (IGF-I and -II) with high affinity. Previous studies have proposed that the N-terminal region of IGFBP-5 contains a hydrophobic patch between residues 49 and 74 that is required for high affinity binding. These studies were undertaken to determine if mutagenesis of several of these residues resulted in a reduction of the affinity of IGFBP-3 and -5 for IGF-I. Substitutions for residues 68, 69, 70, 73, and 74 in IGFBP-5 (changing one charged residue, Lys(68), to a neutral one and the four hydrophobic residues to nonhydrophobic residues) resulted in an approximately 1000-fold reduction in the affinity of IGFBP-5 for IGF-I. Substitutions for homologous residues in IGFBP-3 also resulted in a >1000-fold reduction in affinity. The physiologic consequence of this reduction was that IGFBP-3 and -5 became very weak inhibitors of IGF-I-stimulated cell migration and DNA synthesis. Likewise, the ability of IGFBP-5 to inhibit IGF-I-stimulated receptor phosphorylation was attenuated. These changes did not appear to be because of alterations in protein folding induced by mutagenesis, because the IGFBP-5 mutant was fully susceptible to proteolytic cleavage by a specific IGFBP-5 protease. In summary, residues 68, 69, 70, 73, and 74 in IGFBP-5 appear to be critical for high affinity binding to IGF-I. Homologous residues in IGFBP-3 are also required, suggesting that they form a similar binding pocket and that for both proteins these residues form an important component of the core binding site. The availability of these mutants will make it possible to determine if there are direct, non-IGF-I-dependent effects of IGFBP-3 and -5 on cellular physiologic processes in cell types that secrete IGF-I.
BREAKING WAVES, GENERATING POWER: AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF WAVE ENERGY MODELING AND OPTIMIZATION

description: Wave energy, as a significant renewable resource, holds immense potential for large-scale utilization. However, current applications are limited, necessitating advancements in the energy conversion efficiency of wave energy devices. This paper introduces a wave energy power generation system comprising a float, a vibrator, and a Power Take-Off (PTO) mechanism, designed to enhance stability and efficiency. The float, serving as a barrier between the external environment and the internal power generation components, ensures a more stable power generation process.

When subjected to wave excitation, the float undergoes heave or swing motion, initiating relative movement between the internal swing device and the float. This movement drives the damper to perform work, with the accomplished work serving as the energy output. To achieve large-scale wave energy utilization, it becomes imperative to enhance the energy conversion efficiency of the device. In this study, we focus on the scenario where the float exclusively undergoes heave motion in response to wave action.

The research methodology involves calculating the velocity and heave displacement of the float and vibrator over 40 wave cycles. This is conducted under specific conditions: a damping coefficient of 10000 N • s/m and a damping coefficient-to-velocity ratio of 10000. To address this, we first establish an understanding of the energy conversion principles underlying this wave energy power generation system.

The float's external component isolates seawater from the internal power generation unit, ensuring heightened stability. The float, acting as the primary recipient of wave forces, experiences heave or swing motion. This motion creates relative movement between the internal swing device and the float, propelling the damper to perform work. The energy output represents the conversion of wave energy into mechanical energy and, ultimately, electrical energy through damper work.

To effectively analyze and solve the problem at hand, we determine the float's initial position, considering buoyancy, gravity balance, and various attribute parameters. Subsequently, we utilize a motion model for the floater and vibrator to establish differential equations, addressing the energy conversion and forces associated with wave energy. This comprehensive study provides insights into optimizing the heave displacement and velocity of the float and vibrator, furthering our understanding of the dynamics involved in wave energy power generation

description: At the LHC, tagging boosted heavy particle resonances which decay hadronically, such as top quarks and Higgs bosons, can play an essential role in new physics searches. In events with high multiplicity, however, the standard approach to tag boosted resonances by a large-radius fat jet becomes difficult because the resonances are not well-separated from other hard radiation. In this paper, we propose a different approach to tag and reconstruct boosted resonances by using the recently proposed mass-jump jet algorithm. A key feature of the algorithm is the flexible radius of the jets, which results from a terminating veto that prevents the recombination of two hard prongs if their combined jet mass is substantially larger than the masses of the separate prongs. The idea of collecting jets in "buckets" is also used. As an example, we consider the fully hadronic final state of pair-produced vectorlike top partners at the LHC, $pp\to T\bar{T}\to t\bar{t}HH$, and show that the new approach works better than the corresponding generalized $k_T$ jet clustering algorithm. We also show that tagging and kinematic reconstruction of boosted top quarks and Higgs bosons are possible with good quality even in these very busy final states. The vectorlike top partners are kinematically reconstructed, which allows their direct mass measurement.

Subjects: AGRICORE H2020

description: This deliverable presents the methodology defined within the AGRICORE project to characterise data sources useful for performing agricultural research analysis. This methodology has been developed as part of the first of the work packages defined in the AGRICORE project. AGRICORE is a research project proposing an innovative way to apply agent-based modelling to improve the capacities of policymakers to evaluate the impact of agricultural-related measurements under and outside the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy. This project was funded by the European Commission as a result of the RUR-04-2018 call, part of the H2020 programme. The present document starts providing an introduction to the reader about the framework of this development, covering the AGRICORE project and focusing on the relevant parts of it mostly related to the use of data for performing impact assessment analysis. Then, the usage of ontologies as part of the characterisation methodology is explained and an analysis of the already existing research work in this area provided. After that, the proposed methodology is detailed including also the process followed to design it. As part of this methodology, the AGRICORE partners have developed an extension to the Data Catalogue Application Profile (DCAT-AP) standard which will serve as a basis to compile the required information during the characterisation process. This section is available as part of this deliverable but also released as a separate document. Finally, some conclusions regarding the characterisation and mapping (and the needs for it) of data sources is provided. It is important to remark that although this deliverable has been developed in the framework of the AGRICORE project, the participating partners have aimed for broader usage of the proposed methodology. As the final goal of this work package, the proposed EU Index Tool (now renamed as Agricultural Research Data Index Tool (ARDIT) aims to serve as a central entry point for locating useful datasets useful for agricultural research. Accordingly, the methodology here presented will be used to characterise the set of datasets identified by the AGRICORE consortium, not limiting the analysis to those used in the project.

description: The objective of this project is to design a Shared-Use-Pathway (pedestrian trail) in Evansville, IN
along Green River Road from Lynch Road to Millersburg Road. The proposed alignment of the
trail is approximately 2.28 miles with sections of the trail located on both sides of the roadway.
The trail width for both sections of the alignment is 10 feet. Several different aspects of the project
were identified as critically important to the completion of the trail design. Most importantly the
trail must comply with the standards set by the 2013 Indiana Design Manual. The pavement design,
signage and trail cross-sections had to be designed and detailed along the entire plan and profile
of the trail. Also, the trail alignment crosses five separate bodies of water. In response, five
pedestrian bridges with varying spans had to be designed. The width of the trail requires not only
pedestrian loading, but also the loading of a 5-ton truck. Additionally, the existing topography
along portions of the alignment require the construction of retaining walls. Finally, a preliminary
cost estimation of the trail was calculated.

The purpose of this thesis is to offer an holistic theoretical overview of different types of agency costs and externalities which arise in different types of business organisations and the legal responses to them. From this analysis, it emerges that high agency costs (directly and indirectly manifested) and externalities are, in the main, mitigated by mandatory rules. There is one exception to this: indirect manifestations of majority/minority agency costs (that is, agency costs which are transmitted through directors) are not mitigated. Worse, they are actively exacerbated by what are referred to in this thesis as ‘twin exacerbations’: the ability of the shareholders (by majority rule) to assume powers of the company; and their ability (by majority rule) to remove directors. This thesis undertakes historical, comparative, doctrinal, and empirical research into these twin exacerbations. A general historical overview confirms the theoretical proposition of this thesis: that, historically, mandatory rules have been used to resolve the main examples of agency costs/externalities in company law. Applying historical analysis to the twin exacerbations, it is argued that the first occurred by accident, while the second does not adequately resolve the wrong it is designed to. Comparatively, different jurisdictions have attempted to resolve equivalent problems, and while Delaware resolves them it does so in a way which makes being a shareholder in a Delaware company differ fundamentally from being a shareholder in a UK company. Doctrinally, other areas of company law do not act to mitigate the twin exacerbations: directors' duties are neutralised; shareholders owe no duties to each other when voting; minority protection is weak; and soft law does not work for private companies. Empirically, this thesis undertakes a leximetric study to establish whether the 'market' resolves the twin exacerbations. If we establish that it does not, and may not be able to, legislative reform becomes inevitable. By resolving the twin exacerbations, we align the law regarding indirect manifestations of majority/minority agency costs with the general proposition established for company law: rules in business organisations should operate by default, unless an agency cost/externality arises, in which case mandatory (or, where there are public markets, ‘comply-or-explain’) rules should apply. This reform resolves the theoretical, historical, comparative, doctrinal, and empirical issues highlighted in this thesis.

description: A Bradbury-Nielsen gate (BNG) is often used to modulate ion beams. It consists of two interleaved and electrically isolated sets of wires with uniform tension, which can keep parallel, equidistant, and coplanar over a wide temperature range, making the BNG reliable and robust. We have previously analyzed the non-uniform problem of wire tensions with sequentially winding method, and developed a template-based transfer method to solve this problem. In this paper, we introduced a progressively reduced pretension method, which allows directly and sequentially winding wires on the substrate without using a template. Theoretical analysis shows that by applying proper pretension to each wire when fixing it onto the substrate, the final wire tensions of all wires can be uniform. The algorithm and flowchart to calculate the pretension sequence are given, and the fabrication process is introduced in detail. Pretensions are generated by weights combination with a homebuilt weaving device. A BNG with stainless steel wire and a printed circuit board substrate is constructed with this method. The non-uniformity of the final wire tensions is less than 2.5% in theory. The BNG is successfully employed in our homemade ion mobility spectrometer, and the measured resolution is 33.5 at a gate opening time of 350 μs. Compared to the template-based method, this method is simpler, faster and more flexible when making BNGs with different configurations.

description: Tumor associated gene-1/L amino acid transporter-1 (TA1/LAT-1) was recently identified as a light chain of the CD98 amino acid transporter and cellular activation marker. Our previous studies with primary rat hepatocyte cultures demonstrated that TA1 RNA levels were responsive to media amino acid concentrations, suggesting adaptive regulation. High level TA1 expression associated with transformed cells also suggested a role in tumor progression. The present study examined the relationship of TA1/CD98 expression, adaptive response, and associated amino acid transport to neoplastic transformation using a panel of well characterized rat hepatic cell lines. We found 1) increased expression of TA1 in response to amino acid depletion, specific for arginine but not glutamine; 2) loss of TA1 response to arginine in gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-positive transformed and tumorigenic cells; 3) no appreciable response of 4F2/CD98 heavy chain to arginine levels; and 4) correlation of system L amino acid transport activity in response to arginine with changes in TA1/LAT-1 mRNA but not total immunoreacting protein. Our results suggest this CD98 light chain may act as an environmental sensor, responding to amino acid availability and that its regulation is complex. We hypothesize that altered TA1 expression is an early event in hepatocarcinogenesis giving neoplastic cells a growth or survival advantage, particularly under conditions of limited amino acid availability.

description: Gravitational waves radiated during binary black hole coalescence is a perfect probe for studying the characteristics of strong gravity. Advanced techniques for creating numerical relativity substitute models for eccentric binary black hole systems are presumed to become more crucial in existing and anticipated gravitational wave detectors. The imprint on the observation data of the gravitational wave emitted by the binary coalescence enhances the two body system studies. The aim of this study is to present an overview of the change in characteristics behaviours of hierarchical massive astrophysical objects merger, which are the data bank of the early universe. We present results from numerical relativity simulations of equal-mass and unequal mass nonspinning inspiral binary-black-hole system in the Post Newtonian framework. We also consider the time evolution of eccentricity for the initial eccentric system. The eccentric Post Newtonian equations are expanded in the form of frequency related variable $x = (M ω)^{2/3}$. The model is restricted to the (2, 2) spin-weighted spherical harmonic modes. We conclude that for higher eccentricity as well as mass ratio there exist higher oscillation in orbital radius and in eccentricity.

description: Mutations in breast cancer tumor susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, predispose women to early onset breast cancer and other malignancies. The Brca genes are involved in multiple cellular processes in response to DNA damage including checkpoint activation, gene transcription, and DNA repair. Biochemical interaction with the recombinational repair protein Rad51 (Scully, R., Chen, J., Ochs, R. L., Keegan, K., Hoekstra, M., Feunteun, J., and Livingston, D. M. (1997) Cell 90, 425-435), as well as genetic evidence (Moynahan, M. E., Chiu, J. W., Koller, B. H., and Jasin, M. (1999) Mol. Cell 4, 511-518 and Snouwaert, J. N., Gowen, L. C., Latour, A. M., Mohn, A. R., Xiao, A., DiBiase, L., and Koller, B. H. (1999) Oncogene 18, 7900-7907), demonstrates that Brca1 is involved in recombinational repair of DNA double strand breaks. Using isogenic Brca1(+/+) and brca1(-/-) mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell lines, we investigated the role of Brca1 in the cellular response to two different categories of DNA damage: x-ray induced damage and cross-linking damage caused by the chemotherapeutic agent, cisplatinum. Immunoflourescence studies with normal and brca1(-/-) mutant mouse ES cell lines indicate that Brca1 promotes assembly of subnuclear Rad51 foci following both types of DNA damage. These foci are likely to be oligomeric complexes of Rad51 engaged in repair of DNA lesions or in processes that allow cells to tolerate such lesions during DNA replication. Clonogenic assays show that brca1(-/-) mutants are 5-fold more sensitive to cisplatinum compared with wild-type cells. Our studies suggest that Brca1 contributes to damage repair and/or tolerance by promoting assembly of Rad51. This function appears to be shared with Brca2.
