description: Additional file 1: Supplementary Figure 1: Cellular location of the four main functional groups present in the two GO terms that are significant when using the data from the entire experiment and from days 3–12 (organelle inner membrane, GO:0019866; q = 0.01725; peptidoglycan-based cell wall, GO:0009274; q = 0.01725). There were no significant GO terms in the other time periods (12–21, 21–30, 30–39 days). Supplementary Figure 2: Colony size data split into four periods (3–12 days, 12–21 days, 21–30 days, and 30–39 days). The regression line inferred under a mixed effect model for each time period is shown in blue. The slope of the regression lien is not significantly different from 0 in periods 3–12 days (p = 0.5391), 21–30 days (p = 0.4352), and 30–39 days (p = 0.0529), but it is significantly negative in the period 12–21 days (p = 0.0142).

description: We present time-resolved photometry of V1494 Aql (Nova Aql 1999 No. 2: http://www.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/Novae/v1494aql.html) between 2001 November and 2003 June. The object is confirmed to be an eclipsing nova with a period of 0.1346138(2) d. The eclipses were present in all observed epochs. The orbital light curve shows a rather unusual profile, consisting of a bump-like feature at phase 0.6-0.7 and a dip-like feature at phase 0.2-0.4. These features were probably persistently present in all available observations between 2001 and 2003. A period analysis outside the eclipses has confirmed that these variations have a period common to the orbital period, and are unlikely interpreted as superhumps. We suspect that structure (probably in the accretion disk) fixed in the binary rotational frame is somehow responsible for this feature.

description: In Canada, the economic burden of poor dietary habits is estimated at $6.3 billion annually1. At the University of British Columbia (UBC), nutrition labeling has been identified as a key action area to improve student dietary habits and health (L. McGowan, oral communication, 2014). Excessive consumption of total fat, added sugar, sodium and calories place individuals at a higher risk for obesity2, hypertension3, type 2 diabetes4 and heart disease5. Due to a high level of interest from students, it is an appropriate time to implement a user-friendly food labeling system to help students to choose healthier food options. The goal of our proposed UBC Healthy Food Labels (HFL) is to decrease the prevalence of hypertension and obesity, as well as the risks for type 2 diabetes and heart disease in UBC students over the next four years. To decrease the consumption of foods high in total fat, added sugar, sodium, and calories among UBC students dining on campus, we propose modeling the UBC HFL after the United Kingdom (UK) Traffic Light Signpost Labeling System (TLSLS), an efficient, user-friendly, consumer-preferred method of communicating nutrition information6. Our proposed criteria for the UBC HFL are tailored to fit the UBC student population in the context of Canadian nutrition guidelines. By September 2014, we hope the community partners will approve this labeling system and use it to build upon the existing “Rez Allergen Checklist” labels, which identify common food allergens and/or intolerances. By addressing qualities that affect the speed and extent that UBC HFL will successfully spread throughout the UBC campus, we want to see at least 50% of students using the UBC HFL to decrease their total fat, added sugar, sodium and caloric intake by the end of April 2016. While a process evaluation is used throughout the development of the project, an impact evaluation will be used to determine community partners’ approval of the proposed UBC HFL using a Likert scale and the UBC HFL’s effect on promoting healthy eating among UBC students using a campus-wide survey and review of food sale patterns. Overall, we are confident that by using TLSLS as a model for the UBC HFL we can reach our goal.

description: LLMs have demonstrated remarkable performance across diverse applications, yet they inadvertently absorb spurious correlations from training data, leading to stereotype associations between biased concepts and specific social groups. These associations perpetuate and even amplify harmful social biases, raising significant fairness concerns. To mitigate such biases, prior studies have attempted to project model embeddings into unbiased spaces during inference. However, these approaches have shown limited effectiveness due to their weak alignment with downstream social biases. Inspired by the observation that concept cognition in LLMs is primarily represented through a linear associative memory mechanism, where key-value mapping occurs in the MLP layers, we posited that biased concepts and social groups are similarly encoded as entity (key) and information (value) pairs, which can be manipulated to promote fairer associations. To this end, we propose Fairness Mediator (FairMed), a bias mitigation framework that neutralizes stereotype associations. Our framework comprises two main components: a stereotype association prober and an adversarial debiasing neutralizer. The prober captures stereotype associations encoded within MLP layer activations by employing prompts centered around biased concepts to detect the emission probabilities for social groups. Subsequently, the adversarial debiasing neutralizer intervenes in MLP activations during inference to equalize the association probabilities among different social groups. Extensive experiments across nine protected attributes show that FairMed significantly outperforms SOTA methods in effectiveness. Compared to the most effective baseline, FairMed presents competitive efficiency by cutting mitigation overhead by hundreds of minutes. FairMed also maintains the LLM's language understanding capabilities without compromising overall performance.

description: Visual saliency modeling for images and videos is treated as two independent tasks in recent computer vision literature. While image saliency modeling is a well-studied problem and progress on benchmarks like SALICON and MIT300 is slowing, video saliency models have shown rapid gains on the recent DHF1K benchmark. Here, we take a step back and ask: Can image and video saliency modeling be approached via a unified model, with mutual benefit? We identify different sources of domain shift between image and video saliency data and between different video saliency datasets as a key challenge for effective joint modelling. To address this we propose four novel domain adaptation techniques - Domain-Adaptive Priors, Domain-Adaptive Fusion, Domain-Adaptive Smoothing and Bypass-RNN - in addition to an improved formulation of learned Gaussian priors. We integrate these techniques into a simple and lightweight encoder-RNN-decoder-style network, UNISAL, and train it jointly with image and video saliency data. We evaluate our method on the video saliency datasets DHF1K, Hollywood-2 and UCF-Sports, and the image saliency datasets SALICON and MIT300. With one set of parameters, UNISAL achieves state-of-the-art performance on all video saliency datasets and is on par with the state-of-the-art for image saliency datasets, despite faster runtime and a 5 to 20-fold smaller model size compared to all competing deep methods. We provide retrospective analyses and ablation studies which confirm the importance of the domain shift modeling. The code is available at https://github.com/rdroste/unisal

description: The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been dogged by continuity demands on the basis functions. For most commonly accepted models, solutions using the finite element method demand $C^{1}$ continuity of the shape functions. Here, recent development in discontinuous Galerkin methods are explored and exploited for the solution of a prototype nonlinear strain gradient dependent continuum model. A formulation is developed that allows the rigorous solution of a strain gradient damage model using standard $C^{0}$ shape functions. The formulation is tested in one-dimension for the simplest possible finite element formulation: piecewise linear displacement and constant (on elements) internal variable. Numerical results are shown to compare excellently with a benchmark solution. The results are remarkable given the simplicity of the proposed formulation.

A critical inquiry into Habermas's philosophy of emancipation: Toward an ontology of the human person
Creators: name: Badillo, Robert Peter
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study argues that Habermas's philosophy of emancipation furnishes an emancipatory communicative model that may be viewed as providing a novel entry into a non-traditional conception of metaphysics as it specifically relates toward the development of an ontology proper of the human person. Though Habermas does not develop the metaphysical/ontological ground for understanding the human person, in articulating a model of the subject for the exercise of the human emancipatory potential, he opens a space which points toward the further reaches of his own philosophical compass, i.e., toward metaphysical reflection. Habermas's philosophy of emancipation provides a model of the subject in which the human person is understood as possessing an emancipatory tendency from hypostasized desequilibria that is realized by approximating a form of life modelled on the ideal speech situation (ISS). However, given that ISS provides the methodological framework for the realization of the emancipatory potential, the critical question concerns the adequacy of the purely formal conditions of ISS in terms of a pragmatic logic of theoretical and practical discourse for the adjudication of truth and normative claims respectively. Accordingly, the discourse theory of truth is, with reservations, considered adequate for the resolution of truth claims; the principle of universalization, however, is affected with a rationalist formalism and is thus rejected as an inadequate instrument for moral guidance. Habermas's overall project is then understood as pointing toward a transcendent ground in function of which the subject may articulate the good. Given certain affinities with ISS, the later Heidegger's notion of Being as the ground of Dasein is considered but dismissed as unsuitable given that it is affected with an existential formalism resulting from the vagueness and non-dialogical character of his conception of Being. The move is then made to consider Fernando Rielo's "genetic conception of the principle of relation" as providing the metaphysical model in favor of a personal and dialogical transcendent ground, that finding its confirmation in Christian revelation, provides Habermas's ideal communicative model, i.e., ISS, with an ontology and an ethics proper of the human person.

Hence, it is difficult to identify the subspecies of examined material, though the colouration the most resembles Labidostomis nuristanica afghanica L. Medvedev, 1978. All subspecies are distributed mostly in Afghanistan (Löbl & Smetana 2010) which gives objections against their validity; this subspecies also known from Pakistan.

description: We develop a dynamic general equilibrium model of economic development with altruism in which the evolution of the extent of entrepreneurship, the rate of rural-urban migration, the scale and structure of production and the degree of income and wealth inequality are endogenously determined. The model generates a development process that has distributional characteristics consistent with those of the Kuznets hypothesis. In early stages of development, agents face binding financing constraints so that production is only carried out on a small scale. Few agents earn entrepreneurial profits and the lack of competition for labor keeps the wage low. The scale of production gradually expands as the descendants of entrepreneurs 'face less stringent financing constraints. Income and wealth inequality become increasingly acute as the entrepreneurial rich get richer and the poor remain so. Eventually, competition for workers drives up wages. As the labor share of income rises, the quality of entrepreneurs improves and the scale of production and the profits of an entrepreneur, controlling for wealth and ability, fall. Consequently, as the development process continues, income and wealth disparities eventually decline. With no engine for technological advancement, the economy converges to an invariant, non-degenerate wealth and income distribution. The economy may even be asymptotically efficient, as the 'right' entrepreneurs take on investment projects. We derive the time path of the optimal redistribution policy and detail the impact of aggregate shocks at different stages. Finally, we provide insight into why the `Kuznets curve' may appear in some economies but not in others, and how long-run fluctuations in economic activity can arise endogenously.

description: An analogue study of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) was conducted to test the hypothesis that training in social problem solving therapy is an effective treatment in reducing anxiety in college students. The goals were: (a) to determine whether Problem-Solving Therapy (PST) was effective in reducing anxiety as compared to a wait-list control (WLC) group, and (b) to determine whether PST was more effective in reducing anxiety than a nondirective group therapy regimen, Problem-Focused Therapy (PFT). Eligible, interested subjects completed pretest and were randomized into one of three groups--PST, PFT, or WLC. Treatment consisted of eight 2-hour sessions, with homework assigned between sessions. Following treatment, subjects completed posttest. Seventy-six subjects completed the study--25 in the PST group, 22 in the PFT group, and 29 in the WLC group. Measures obtained included self-reported measures of anxiety, depression, and perceived and actual problem-solving ability; in addition, a measure of pulse was obtained. Results showed that subjects in the PST group significantly reduced their anxiety by posttest as compared to the WLC group on the major outcome measure of anxiety, the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). When the two treatment groups were compared, PST was not significantly different from PFT on the BAI. However, subjects rated PST therapy and PST therapists more positively than their PFT counterparts. In addition, PST subjects perceived themselves as better problem solvers following treatment than PFT subjects. Thus, PST seems to have an edge on PFT. The results of this study support the hypothesis that Problem-Solving Therapy is an effective treatment in reducing anxiety in college students when compared to a control group. The hypothesis that Problem-Solving Therapy would be more effective in reducing anxiety than a nondirective group therapy regimen (PFT) was not supported by the results of this study.

A study of the photochemical reactions of methoxy cinnamic acid esters
Creators: name: Biddle, Jane Anne
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Cinnamic acid esters are commercially available as sunscreen agents. Although, like other sunscreens, very little is known about their photochemical properties. Thus, this research was established to investigate the properties of these compounds and to develop new ones. In this study, a number of cinnamic acid esters were synthesized and evaluated as potential sunscreen agents with emphasis on their photochemistry, the time required to achieve a photostationary state and the products produced from irradiation by a medium pressure lamp. The Z and E ortho- and para-methoxy cinnamic acid esters of, 2-ethylhexyl-$\beta$-methyl-p-methoxy cinnamate; ethyl-$\beta$-methyl-p-methoxy cinnamate; 2-ethylhexyl-$\beta$-methyl-o-methoxy cinnamate; and, ethyl-$\beta$-methyl-o-methoxy cinnamate were synthesized and their photochemical reactions investigated. The E compounds were synthesized by the Reformatsky Reaction, and the Z isomers were photochemically prepared. Also produced were Z and E ethyl-$\beta$-methyl-2,4-and ethyl-$\beta$-methyl-2,6-dimethoxy cinnamates as well as Z and E ethyl-$\beta$-methyl-2,4,6-trimethoxy cinnamate. These compounds were prepared by the Horner-Emmons Reaction in better yields than had been previously reported for similar syntheses. All the compounds produced in this research, with the exception of two, were new and had not been reported in literature. In addition, Correlated Spectroscopy (COSY) and Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement Spectroscopy (NOESY) NMRs were performed on the Z and E di- and trimethoxy cinnamates. These spectra confirmed the correct stereochemistry for both isomers of 2,4-,2,6-dimethoxy and 2,4,6-trimethoxy cinnamates. From this research it was found that photoisomerization was the major photochemical reaction observed with the cinnamates. The compounds studied were prepared in a pure inert solvent with no other substances present and the only products obtained were the respective isomers. The photochemical conversion of the E-cinnamate (or Z) to the Z isomer (or E isomer), in equal or nearly so ratios, occurred after hours of irradiation in an inert solvent. The structure-activity relationships among the cinnamates for promoting or inhibiting photoisomerization and degradations were found to be the same for all the compounds.

Reexamination of the International Export Quota Game Through the Theory of Social Situations

description: It is a well-known theorem in international trade that a Nash equilibrium between two countries that set optimal quotas non-cooperatively is the complete elimination of international trade. Yet we know that countries do by quotas on one another and that trade is not eliminated. This paper explores the hypothesis that the discrepancy lies in the weakness of Nash equilibrium concept. Specifically, we agree that the replacement of the Nash equilibrium with Greenberg's (1990) concept of a "standard-of-behavior" yields a much more plausible result. We construct a model of the quota retaliation as an "individual contingent threats situation." We show the existence of what Greenberg calls a "stable standard-of-behavior" and examine its welfare properties. In a static, essentially non-cooperative setting, we show that every stable standard-of-behavior supports at least one Pareto-efficient combination of quotas and vice versa. Free trade can be "rationalized" by a stable standard-of-behavior.

description: We show that a simple change of the classical boson-fermion coupling constant, $2α\to 2αn $, $n\in \N$, in the superconformal mechanics model gives rise to a radical change of a symmetry: the modified classical and quantum systems are characterized by the nonlinear superconformal symmetry. It is generated by the four bosonic integrals which form the so(1,2) x u(1) subalgebra, and by the 2(n+1) fermionic integrals constituting the two spin-n/2 so(1,2)-representations and anticommuting for the order n polynomials of the even generators. We find that the modified quantum system with an integer value of the parameter $α$ is described simultaneously by the two nonlinear superconformal symmetries of the orders relatively shifted in odd number. For the original quantum model with $|α|=p$, $p\in \N$, this means the presence of the order 2p nonlinear superconformal symmetry in addition to the osp(2|2) supersymmetry.

In this study, a number of cinnamic acid esters were synthesized and evaluated as potential sunscreen agents with emphasis on their photochemistry, the time required to achieve a photostationary state and the products produced from irradiation by a medium pressure lamp. The Z and E ortho- and para-methoxy cinnamic acid esters of, 2-ethylhexyl-$\beta$-methyl-p-methoxy cinnamate; ethyl-$\beta$-methyl-p-methoxy cinnamate; 2-ethylhexyl-$\beta$-methyl-o-methoxy cinnamate; and, ethyl-$\beta$-methyl-o-methoxy cinnamate were synthesized and their photochemical reactions investigated. The E compounds were synthesized by the Reformatsky Reaction, and the Z isomers were photochemically prepared. Also produced were Z and E ethyl-$\beta$-methyl-2,4-and ethyl-$\beta$-methyl-2,6-dimethoxy cinnamates as well as Z and E ethyl-$\beta$-methyl-2,4,6-trimethoxy cinnamate. These compounds were prepared by the Horner-Emmons Reaction in better yields than had been previously reported for similar syntheses. All the compounds produced in this research, with the exception of two, were new and had not been reported in literature. In addition, Correlated Spectroscopy (COSY) and Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement Spectroscopy (NOESY) NMRs were performed on the Z and E di- and trimethoxy cinnamates. These spectra confirmed the correct stereochemistry for both isomers of 2,4-,2,6-dimethoxy and 2,4,6-trimethoxy cinnamates. From this research it was found that photoisomerization was the major photochemical reaction observed with the cinnamates. The compounds studied were prepared in a pure inert solvent with no other substances present and the only products obtained were the respective isomers. The photochemical conversion of the E-cinnamate (or Z) to the Z isomer (or E isomer), in equal or nearly so ratios, occurred after hours of irradiation in an inert solvent. The structure-activity relationships among the cinnamates for promoting or inhibiting photoisomerization and degradations were found to be the same for all the compounds.

description: To develop a spacefaring civilization, humankind must develop technologies which enable safe, affordable and repeatable mobility through the solar system. One such technology is nuclear fusion propulsion which is at present under study mostly as a breakthrough toward the first interstellar probes. The aim of the present paper is to show that fusion drive is even more important in human planetary exploration and constitutes the natural solution to the problem of exploring and colonizing the solar system.

description: We present long-slit HST/STIS measurements of the ionized-gas kinematics in the nucleus of three disk galaxies, namely NGC 2179, NGC 4343, NGC 4435. The sample galaxies have been selected on the basis of their ground-based spectroscopy, for displaying a strong central velocity gradient for the ionized gas, which is consistent with the presence of a circum nuclear keplerian disk (CNKD, Bertola et al. 1998; Funes et al. 2002) rotating around a super massive black hole (SMBH). For each target galaxy we obtained the H_alpha and [NII] 6583 AA kinematics along the major axis and two 0"25 parallel offset positions. Out of three objects only NGC 4435 turned out to have a disk of ionized gas in regular motion and a regular dust-lane morphology. Preliminary modeling indicates a SMBH mass one order of magnitude lower than the one expected from the M-sigma relation for galaxies (Ferrarese & Merritt 2000; Gebhardt et al. 2000).

Bounded Regret for Finitely Parameterized Multi-Armed Bandits

description: We consider the problem of finitely parameterized multi-armed bandits where the model of the underlying stochastic environment can be characterized based on a common unknown parameter. The true parameter is unknown to the learning agent. However, the set of possible parameters, which is finite, is known a priori. We propose an algorithm that is simple and easy to implement, which we call Finitely Parameterized Upper Confidence Bound (FP-UCB) algorithm, which uses the information about the underlying parameter set for faster learning. In particular, we show that the FP-UCB algorithm achieves a bounded regret under some structural condition on the underlying parameter set. We also show that, if the underlying parameter set does not satisfy the necessary structural condition, the FP-UCB algorithm achieves a logarithmic regret, but with a smaller preceding constant compared to the standard UCB algorithm. We also validate the superior performance of the FP-UCB algorithm through extensive numerical simulations.

Women art students in America: An historical study of academic art instruction during the nineteenth century

description: Art historians have suggested that one reason for the small number of women artists prior to the twentieth century was limited access to appropriate artistic instruction. Current art historical texts on nineteenth-century American art have given very little attention to women artists of the period. It was the researcher's goal in the present study to determine if a lack of appropriate educational opportunities was one explanation for the obscurity of nineteenth-century American women artists. Therefore, the purpose of the research was to analyze academic art training for American women during the past century. The study examined four nineteenth-century art schools: the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the National Academy of Design, the Art Students League, and the Corcoran School of Art. All four schools employed the French academic model for art instruction. The "academic" approach to art training emphasized drawing instruction in which elementary students copied plaster casts of antique Greek and Roman statues; advanced students drew from live, usually nude, models. The research focused on the curriculum, faculty, student competitions, and the educational environment of each program as it pertained to women's art education. The research findings indicated that American academic art schools during the nineteenth century provided women students with thorough and rigorous academic art instruction and that there were only minor differences in the curricular course of study for men and for women. The researcher did uncover specific instances of racism, sexual harassment, gender stereotyping, and restrictive social attitudes. However, even with these occurrences, the four schools under study provided women art students with comprehensive training, professional opportunities, and personal support. There was relative equality in the educational environment for male and female students. Although the study did not cover nineteenth-century European art schools, the surprising implication was that the American schools were far more progressive and offered greater opportunities than their European counterparts. Therefore, the conclusion of the study was that a lack of appropriate education cannot be adduced as the reason for the obscurity of nineteenth-century American women artists.

description: The equations of 10 or 11 dimensional supergravity admit supersymmetric compactifications on 7-manifolds of $G_2$ holonomy, but these supergravity vacua are deformed away from special holonomy by the higher-order corrections of string or M-theory. We find simple expressions for the first-order corrections to the Einstein and Killing spinor equations in terms of the calibrating 3-form of the leading-order G_2-holonomy background. We thus obtain, and solve explicitly, systems of first-order equations describing the corrected metrics for most of the known classes of cohomogeneity-one 7-metrics with G_2 structures
