description: Abstract

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) contain highly sensitive private information vital for diagnosing and treating patients. These records must frequently be distributed and shared among various stakeholders, including healthcare providers, insurance companies, pharmacies, researchers, and patients' families. Implementing EMRs allows patient data to be tracked over extended periods by multiple healthcare providers. This long-term tracking helps identify individuals who need preventive checkups and screenings and ensures they meet essential health metrics such as vaccinations and blood pressure levels. A secure IoT-based healthcare system for oncology services proposes utilizing Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and blockchain to secure IoT data. This approach aims to enhance existing treatment options and provide a comprehensive healthcare solution. The open nature of IoT networks makes them susceptible to data vulnerabilities and manipulation by external entities. While various security measures, such as biometrics and two-factor authentication, exist for IoT devices, blockchain technology offers a promising solution. Blockchain creates a shared, immutable, and transparent history of all transactions, fostering trust, accountability, and transparency in applications. This technology presents a unique opportunity to develop a secure and reliable EMR data management and sharing system using DLT.

A common language of landscape representation: New Zealand and California painting in the nineteenth century
Creators: name: Schenker, Heath
Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 1995

description: In the nineteenth century, landscape painters in California and New Zealand shared a common language of landscape representation, looking at untamed coasts and rugged mountains through a lens shaped by two centuries of European artistic tradition. Explored in this paper is the influence of the picturesque tradition in New Zealand and California art in the nineteenth century. Ideological functions of landscape painting are identified: that is, ways artists in both New Zealand and California appropriated the landscape to support certain cultural, political and social agendas. Their work represents not only the land but the myths inscribed upon it by bourgeois culture.

Toponymy: positionality and containment on New Zealand high country stations
Creators: name: Dominy, Michele
Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 1995

description: I examine the discursive practice of naming and its use as a way of dividing up the landscape to designate location and create meaningful spaces, as well as to understand high country people"s conception and construction of place. In this analysis, an array of materials is used, including geological maps, resource surveys, and high country inhabitants" vernacular categories. The semiotic qualities of narratives are elicited by transforming boundary talk into cognitive components. In the high country of the South Island of New Zealand, social cartography is measured from the homestead; directionality is more important than altitude. Ways of talking about place specify not only location, but also use and belonging.I catalogue these names and map the place to hold them still.

description: Dust-enshrouded, starbursting, submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at $z \geq 3$ have been proposed as progenitors of $z \geq 2$ compact quiescent galaxies (cQGs). To test this connection, we present a detailed spatially resolved study of the stars, dust and stellar mass in a sample of six submillimeter-bright starburst galaxies at $z \sim 4.5$. The stellar UV emission probed by HST is extended, irregular and shows evidence of multiple components. Informed by HST, we deblend Spitzer/IRAC data at rest-frame optical finding that the systems are undergoing minor mergers, with a typical stellar mass ratio of 1:6.5. The FIR dust continuum emission traced by ALMA locates the bulk of star formation in extremely compact regions (median $r_{\rm{e}} = 0.70 \pm 0.29$ kpc) and it is in all cases associated with the most massive component of the mergers (median $\log (M_{*}/M_{\odot}) = 10.49 \pm 0.32$). We compare spatially resolved UV slope ($β$) maps with the FIR dust continuum to study the infrared excess ($\rm{IRX} = L_{\rm{IR}}/L_{\rm{UV}}$)-$β$ relation. The SMGs display systematically higher $\rm{IRX}$ values than expected from the nominal trend, demonstrating that the FIR and UV emissions are spatially disconnected. Finally, we show that the SMGs fall on the mass-size plane at smaller stellar masses and sizes than cQGs at $z = 2$. Taking into account the expected evolution in stellar mass and size between $z = 4.5$ and $z = 2$ due to the ongoing starburst and mergers with minor companions, this is in agreement with a direct evolutionary connection between the two populations.

description: A new relation between Prym varieties of arbitrary morphisms of algebraic curves and integrable systems is discovered. The action of maximal commutative subalgebras of the formal loop algebra of GL(n) defined on certain infinite-dimensional Grassmannians is studied. It is proved that every finite-dimensional orbit of the action of traceless elements of these commutative Lie algebras is isomorphic to the Prym variety associated with a morphism of algebraic curves. Conversely, it is shown that every Prym variety can be realized as a finite-dimensional orbit of the action of traceless diagonal elements of the formal loop algebra, which defines the multicomponent KP system.

description: We study the spectrum of $W_3$ strings. In particular, we show that for appropriately chosen space-time signature, one of the scalar fields is singled out by the spin-3 constraint and is ``frozen'': no creation operators from it can appear in physical states and the corresponding momentum must assume a specific fixed value. The remaining theory is unitary and resembles an ordinary string theory in $d\ne26$ with anomalies cancelled by appropriate background charges. In the case of the $W_3$ string, however, the spin-two ``graviton'' is massive.

Pidgin picturesque
Creators: name: Bowring, Jacky
Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 1995

description: The picturesque has been compared to a language. This paper extends the metaphor to pidgins and creoles to make observations about the intermixing of design languages, namely between the conventions of the picturesque and the indigenous environment of New Zealand. Within the context of landscape architecture, pidgin variations are evident in relation to architecture, topography and plants. The native New Zealand environment, with its unique evergreen flora, colonial adaptations of architecture, and challenging topography, has placed new demands on the picturesque. The campus of Lincoln University demonstrates some of the potential of the pidgin picturesque, and some of the tensions that persist within it. The future of New Zealand landscape design identity lies in the ability to understand both imported and indigenous languages. Only then can a unique language develop, which moves beyond the transitory stage of a pidgin into the "mother tongue" of a creole.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: The structure of the adsorbed layer of alkali ions on the surface of colloidal silica solutions with a particle size of ~27 nm has been studied by reflectometry and diffuse scattering of synchrotron radiation with a photon energy of about 71 keV. Electron density profiles in the direction perpendicular to the surface have been reconstructed from experimental data and spectra of the correlation function of heights in the surface plane have been obtained. The revealed deviation of the integral and frequency characteristics of the roughness spectra of the silica sol surface from predictions of the capillary-wave theory is of a fundamental character. This deviation is due to the contribution from roughnesses with low spatial frequencies and to the interference of diffuse scattering from different layer interfaces of the surface structure.

description: This paper examines the three-temperature problem of convection at the indoor side of a complex fenestration system (CFS) based on recent theoretical developments, namely the extended Newton formulation and the dQdT technique. CFD solutions were obtained for natural convection at the indoor side of various CFS configurations. The dQdT technique was then implemented numerically to obtain the paired heat transfer coefficients of each configuration. The results were used to assess the approximate relations used in the ASHRAE Window ATachment (ASHWAT) tool. The comparison shows that while there is remarkable agreement between the ASHWAT estimates and dQdT results for roller blinds, discrepancies exist between results for venetian blinds. Furthermore, although use of a delta resistor network to model convection at the indoor side is valid and relatively accurate for roller blinds, the application of this model to CFSs with venetian blinds requires additional levels of approximation. Nevertheless, the heat transfer rates calculated based on the approximate resistor-network model are in close agreement with the CFD results.

Unnameable landscapes
Creators: name: Stuart-Murray, John
Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 1995

description: This paper outlines the key concepts of opacity, back formation and toponymic activity used by place name historians, and relates them to the naming of contemporary artefacts in the cultural landscape. It categorises place names according to a three-layered analytical model of landscape and argues that place naming is now carried out largely within a cultural framework. Exceptions are names given by modern recreationalists who have regained something of the intimate relationship with the land possessed by earlier agricultural societies. This view is supported by findings that students of landscape architecture have difficulty in naming and describing character where landscapes have been shaped largely by physical and biological processes. It is also consistent with the increasing articulation of landscapes at the cultural level independent of physical and natural process, allowed by the sophistication of modern technology.

What Meaning Do Children with Special Educational Needs Assign to Academic Progress and What Do They Think Makes Them Get Better? an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.
Creators: name: Wagner, Kirsty
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2018

description: This research is a qualitative study which presents the experiences of six children with special educational needs (SEN). Specifically, it explored the concept of academic progress from the viewpoint of the participants, with the aim of gaining an understanding of how children with additional needs understand this concept. Furthermore, it aimed to ascertain what these children find helpful in school. A systematic literature search sought to explore and present key research relevant to this study. It concluded that there is very little research in the current literature exploring this topic. Furthermore, the population used in this study is underrepresented in research available. In this study, six children from a mainstream primary school were recruited. They were all receiving SEN Support in school but did not have Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). The participants were interviewed using semi-structured interviews and transcripts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Four master themes emerged from the analysis: A process for future gains, (Defined by) outside checks, Various influences and Associated feelings. Each theme is discussed and exemplified by quotes from the participants. Findings are discussed in relation to relevant psychological theory and research. The study is considered as relevant for Educational Psychologists, and to those working in wider educational contexts. Suggestions for future research are made in order that the findings can be extended further.

Self-Gravitating Strings In 2+1 Dimensions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a family of classical spacetimes in 2+1 dimensions. Such a spacetime is produced by a Nambu-Goto self-gravitating string. Due to the special properties of three-dimensional gravity, the metric is completely described as a Minkowski space with two identified worldsheets. In the flat limit, the standard string is recovered. The formalism is developed for an open string with massive endpoints, but applies to other boundary conditions as well. We consider another limit, where the string tension vanishes in geometrical units but the end-masses produce finite deficit angles. In this limit, our open string reduces to the free-masses solution of Gott, which possesses closed timelike curves when the relative motion of the two masses is sufficiently rapid. We discuss the possible causal structures of our spacetimes in other regimes. It is shown that the induced worldsheet Liouville mode obeys ({\it classically}) a differential equation, similar to the Liouville equation and reducing to it in the flat limit. A quadratic action formulation of this system is presented. The possibility and significance of quantizing the self-gravitating string, is discussed.

description: We search for transient sources in a sample of ULXs from the 3XMM-DR4 release of the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue in order to find candidate neutron star ULXs alternating between an accreting state and the propeller regime, in which the luminosity drops dramatically. By examining their fluxes and flux upper limits, we identify five ULXs that demonstrate long-term variability of over an order of magnitude. Using Chandra and Swift data to further characterise their light curves, we find that two of these sources are detected only once and could be X-ray binaries in outburst that only briefly reach ULX luminosities. Two others are consistent with being super-Eddington accreting sources with high levels of inter-observation variability. One source, M51 ULX-4, demonstrates apparent bimodal flux behaviour that could indicate the propeller regime. It has a hard X-ray spectrum, but no significant pulsations in its timing data, although with an upper limit of 10% of the signal pulsed at ~1.5 Hz a pulsating ULX cannot be excluded, particularly if the pulsations are transient. By simulating XMM-Newton observations of a population of pulsating ULXs, we predict that there could be approximately 200 other bimodal ULXs that have not been observed sufficiently well by XMM-Newton to be identified as transient.

Bimanual Interaction with Clothes. Topology, Geometry, and Policy Representations in Robots
Creators: name: Twardon, Lukas
Publisher: name: Universität Bielefeld

Subjects: subject: 600

description: If anthropomorphic robots are to assist people with activities of daily living, they must be able to handle all kinds of everyday objects, including highly deformable ones such as garments. The present thesis begins with a detailed problem analysis of robotic interaction with and perception of clothes. We show that handling items of clothing is very challenging due to their complex dynamics and the vast number of degrees of freedom. As a result of our analysis, we obtain a topological, geometric, and functional description of garments that supports the development of reduced object and task representations. One of the key findings is that the boundary components, which typically correspond with the openings, characterize garments well, both in terms of their topology and their inherent purpose, namely dressing. We present a polygon-based and an interactive method for identifying boundary components using RGB-D vision with application to grasping. Moreover, we propose Active Boundary Component Models (ABCMs), a constraint-based framework for tracking garment openings with point clouds. It is often difficult to maintain an accurate representation of the objects involved in contact-rich interaction tasks such as dressing assistance. Therefore, our policy optimization approach to putting a knit cap on a styrofoam head avoids modeling the details of the garment and its deformations. The experimental results suggest that a heuristic performance measure that takes into account the amount of contact established between the two objects is suitable for the task.

description: For our project, our aim was to explore various methods for constructing rigid, collapsible, deployable origami shelters. First, we explored a method of combining a Hoberman Sphere with a Flasher so that the two systems could be deployed simultaneously. However, we per- formed a volume-compression analysis, and found that an umbrella has a significantly better compression ratio. We reverse-engineered an umbrella to discern its crease pattern. We then adjusted the crease pattern and tailored it to be able to fold into our desired 3D shape, a hemi- sphere. However, we believe that our crease pattern and equations could easily be adjusted to approximate many 3D convex surfaces. We wrote a Matlab script to perform the angle and length calculations for the crease pattern. Our final crease pattern had a volume-compression ratio of 2.1%, which is better than the Hoberman sphere (an average of 4.6%) and very close to the ShedRain umbrella (1.3%). As a proof of concept, we constructed a 1 meter diameter shelter out of 1/16" acrylic and vinyl.
Words and weeds: Some notes on language and landscape
Creators: name: Seddon, George
Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 1995

description: The language of landscape is inescapably anthropocentric: inescapable because the very concept of landscape is anthropocentric, a way of positioning ourselves in relation to the external environment. Indeed we are constantly translating that environment into landscape to make it humanly habitable. The point of this paper is not, therefore, to urge us to avoid such language, but rather that we be more highly conscious of it. To this end, I begin with some obvious examples of explicit anthropocentrism, progressing to more subtle, implicit ones, move on to a discussion of attitudes to order and disorder, concluding with a survey of some of the verbal tactics we employ in coping with strange environments. One that is prominent in Australia and New Zealand is the range of naming strategies we use for places and things.

description: The emergence of Omicron has brought new challenges to fight against SARS-CoV-2. A large number of mutations in the Spike protein suggest that its susceptibility to immune protection elicited by the existing COVID-19 infection and vaccines may be altered. In this study, we constructed the pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 variant Omicron. The sensitivity of 28 serum samples from COVID-19 convalescent patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 original strain was tested against pseudotyped Omicron as well as the other viruses of concern (VOCs, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta) and viruses of interest (VOIs, Lambda, Mu). Our results indicated that the mean neutralization ED50 of these sera against Omicron decreased to 66，which is about 8.4 folds compared to the D614G reference strain (ED50 = 556), whereas the neutralization activity of other VOC and VOI pseudotyped viruses decreased only about 1.2-4.5 folds. The finding from our in vitro assay suggest that Omicron variant may lead to more significant escape from immune protection elicited by previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and perhaps even by existing COVID-19 vaccines.

description: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) NICMOS instrument has been used from 1997 to 2008 to perform coronagraphic observations of about 400 targets. Most of them were part of surveys looking for substellar companions or resolved circumstellar disks to young nearby stars, making the NICMOS coronagraphic archive a valuable database for exoplanets and disks studies. As part of the Archival Legacy Investigations of Circumstellar Environments (ALICE) program, we have consistently re-processed a large fraction of the NICMOS coronagrahic archive using advanced PSF subtraction methods. We present here the high-level science products of these re-analyzed data, which we delivered back to the community through the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) http://dx.doi.org/10.17909/T9W89V . We also present the second version of the HCI-FITS format (for High-Contrast Imaging FITS format), which we developed as a standard format for data exchange of imaging reduced science products. These re-analyzed products are openly available for population statistics studies, characterization of specific targets, or detected point source identification.

description: The quantum commutations $RTT=TTR$ and the orthogonal (symplectic) conditions for the inhomogeneous multiparametric $q$-groups of the $B_n,C_n,D_n$ type are found in terms of the $R$-matrix of $B_{n+1},C_{n+1},D_{n+1}$. A consistent Hopf structure on these inhomogeneous $q$-groups is constructed by means of a projection from $B_{n+1},C_{n+1},D_{n+1}$. Real forms are discussed: in particular we obtain the $q$-groups $ISO_{q,r}(n+1,n-1)$, including the quantum Poincaré group.

description: The global warming has a potential for acceleration of labile soil organic carbon decomposition. Arrhenius equation is one of the useful equation for predicting temperature sensitivity of carbon decomposition, with the activation energy of rate constant being a key factor. The purpose of this study is the evaluation of temperature sensitivity of labile soil organic carbon decomposition under anaerobic condition in wetland soil using the activation energy of rate constant among different vegetation types. The soil samples were incubated at three different temperatures (10, 20, and 30°C) under anaerobic condition and carbon decomposition rates (sum of CO2 and CH4 production) were measured by gas chromatography. The first-order kinetic model with Arrhenius equation was used for approximate of anaerobic carbon decomposition. For determination of activation energy of rate constant, non-linear least-squares method was conducted between observed carbon decomposition rate and predicted carbon decomposition rate which calculated by Arrhenius equation. The activation energy of rate constant of anaerobic labile soil organic carbon decomposition was different among vegetation types. We successfully determined the activation energy of rate constant of CO2 or CH4 production from Phragites, Juncus, and Miscanthus+Cirsium-dominated vegetation soil with Arrhenius equation. Hence, this study suggests that Arrhenius equation was useful for evaluation of temperature sensitivity of labile soil organic carbon decomposition not only aerobic condition, but also anaerobic condition among several vegetation types in the wetland ecosystem. Moreover, gaseous carbon production from soil under Juncus yocoscensis dominated soil appeared higher activation energy and temperature sensitivity than that from soil under other vegetation types.
Thirty-two years of landscape architectural education in Indonesia: a retrospect and prospect
Creators: name: Amin, Jusna
Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 1995

description: Study programmes in landscape architecture have existed in Indonesia since the establishment of its first educational institution in 1963. This article presents a retrospective assessment which, hopefully, will encourage all those who arc concerned with landscape architecture in Indonesia to think about its future development. For the author, the article updates a previous paper about the status of the educational practice in Indonesia, delivered as a supporting document at the 4th IFLA Eastern Regional conference in Singapore in 1981, under the theme of 'Education'. The article begins with a systematic review of landscape architecture in Indonesia, and then presents results of six interviews with individuals chosen to represent a range of views from government, private practice, and educators. From both the review and interview results, questions are considered about people's perception and appreciation of landscape architecture in Indonesia as a branch of education and professional practice. Two specific priorities are highlighted. One is the recognised need for landscape architecture to make meaningful connections between people and the places they live in. The second focuses on the relationship between landscape education and the service and industrial sectors, with regard to the availability of job opportunities for its graduates. The article includes a profile of the profession in Indonesia and asks whether the profession is able to apply environmental approaches and techniques for community involvement in the planning and design process. Ideas arc discussed regarding the improvement of the quality of university graduates to produce educated human resources who will meet the current requirements of national development and the industrial sector.

A Weakly Nonlinear Model for the Damping of Resonantly Forced Density Waves in Dense Planetary Rings

description: In this paper we address the stability of resonantly forced density waves in dense planetary rings. Already by Goldreich & Tremaine (1978) it has been argued that density waves might be unstable, depending on the relationship between the ring's viscosity and the surface mass density. In the recent paper Schmidt et al. (2016) we have pointed out that when - within a fluid description of the ring dynamics - the criterion for viscous overstability is satisfied, forced spiral density waves become unstable as well. In this case, linear theory fails to describe the damping, but nonlinearity of the underlying equations guarantees a finite amplitude and eventually a damping of the wave. We apply the multiple scale formalism to derive a weakly nonlinear damping relation from a hydrodynamical model. This relation describes the resonant excitation and nonlinear viscous damping of spiral density waves in a vertically integrated fluid disk with density dependent transport coefficients. The model consistently predicts density waves to be (linearly) unstable in a ring region where the conditions for viscous overstability are met. Sufficiently far away from the Lindblad resonance, the surface mass density perturbation is predicted to saturate to a constant value due to nonlinear viscous damping. The wave's damping lengths of the model depend on certain input parameters, such as the distance to the threshold for viscous overstability in parameter space and the ground state surface mass density.
