description: A detailed, 1:10,500-scale, surficial geology and glacial geomorphology map of Svínafellsjökull and Virkisjökull-Falljökull glacier forelands in southeast Iceland depicts the landsystem imprint of Holocene glacier fluctuations, volcanogenic outburst floods and recent (post-1990) climate-induced rapid ice-front retreat. The map is based on field survey data in combination with 2012 airborne LiDAR data, 2009–2012 terrestrial LiDAR data and 2007 colour aerial photography. The base digital elevation model (DEM) is compiled from an ice-cap wide airborne LiDAR dataset. The mapped glacial landforms are dominated by sequences of recessional moraines laid down in the mid-Holocene, the Little Ice Age, and the last ∼100 years; the state of landform preservation generally decreasing with age. Interspersed with glaciofluvial sedimentation associated with typical ice-marginal retreat sequences is key geomorphological evidence of high-magnitude volcanogenic outburst floods (jökulhlaups) associated with the eruptions of Öraefajökull in 1362 and 1727 CE. Ice-front retreat has accelerated since c.2005 leaving a rapidly evolving buried-ice landscape in front of Virkisjökull-Falljökull – including an ice-cored esker, a large ice-floored (supraglacial) lake, and numerous actively forming kettle holes and ice caverns. This map could act as a ‘reference frame’ for geomorphologists studying the temporal evolution of glacial landform-sediment assemblages undergoing rapid change.

description: Hintergrund: Canine Mammatumoren (CMT) sind wegen ihrer Häufigkeit und hohen Malignitätsrate eine Herausforderung für die Veterinärmedizin. Bisher ist noch keine postoperative adjuvante Therapie als wirksamer Standard etabliert und in den nächsten Jahren wohl auch nicht zu erwarten. Zusätzlich ist die Frage nach der Verträglichkeit einer adjuvanten Therapie mit Erhaltung oder Verbesserung der Lebensqualität (LQ) wichtig. Die Therapie mit Mistelextrakten (Viscum Album L.; VAE) ist in der Humanonkologie nach adjuvanter Tumorbasistherapie (Chemotherapie und Bestrahlung) eine sehr häufig verwendete, zusätz liche adjuvante Behandlungsmethode. Auch bei verschiedenen Tierarten werden inzwischen Mistelpräparate in der Onkologie erfolgreich angewendet. Methoden: Überprüfung von Wirkung und Nutzen einer postoperativen, adjuvanten Misteltherapie beim CMT sowie Erfassung der LQ unter der VAE-Behandlung. Ausgewertet wurden 56 Hündinnen mit Mammaadenokarzinom, 33 aausschließlich operierte Kontrolltiere und 23 operierte Tiere, die adjuvant VAE erhielten. Ergebnisse: Die mediane Überlebenszeit (MST) aller Tiere (n = 56) betrug 32 Monate (Interquartilbereich 13–51 Monate). Im deskriptiven Vergleich der Überlebenszeiten (ST) nach Kaplan-Meier waren nach 12, 24, 36 bzw. 48 Monaten noch 24, 20, 15 bzw. 5 Hündinnen (entsprechend 72,7%, 60,6%, 45,1%, 12,4%) der Kontrollgruppe sowie 19, 14, 11 und 1 Hündin (82,6%, 60,9%, 47,8%, 4,3%) der VAE-Gruppe am Leben. Die VAE-Therapie führte zu einem geringeren Gesamtversterberisiko, das statistisch nicht signifikant war (Hazard Ratio (HR) 0,530, 95%-Konfidenzintervall (KI) 0,222–1,262; p = 0,15). Tendenziell (p = 0,07) zeigte sich eine Verringerung des tumorbedingten Sterberisikos auf 25% (HR 0,251, 95%-KI 0,056–1,122). Schlussfolgerungen: Es kann eine Tendenz zur Senkung des tumorbedingten Sterberisikos der VAE-Gruppe bei guter Verträglichkeit der Therapie angenommen werden. Die LQ der Tiere blieb über die gesamte Beobachtungszeit auf hohem Niveau stabil.

description: The proposed algorithmic approach deals with finding the sense of a word in an electronic data. Now a day,in different communication mediums like internet, mobile services etc. people use few words, which are slang in nature. This approach detects those abusive words using supervised learning procedure. But in the real life scenario, the slang words are not used in complete word forms always. Most of the times, those words are used in different abbreviated forms like sounds alike forms, taboo morphemes etc. This proposed approach can detect those abbreviated forms also using semi supervised learning procedure. Using the synset and concept analysis of the text, the probability of a suspicious word to be a slang word is also evaluated.

Evolution of the Median Batholith, Fiordland, New Zealand
Creators: name: Dunkley, Eileen
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The Median Batholith is the remains of a Mesozoic magmatic arc now exposed in Fiordland, New Zealand. There are three groups of plutonic rocks found in the area; the Triassic-Cretaceous Darran Suite; the Cretaceous Separation Point and Western Fiordland Orthogneiss suites. The Darran Suite rocks are LoSY, whilst the younger rocks are HiSY. During fieldwork samples were collected which were subsequently identified largely on the basis of their High Sr and low Y concentrations. The suites have distinctive rare earth element patterns, with the Separation Point Suite being depleted in HREE relative to the other suites. This is interpreted as being due to partial melting at a depth where garnet was stable, but plagioclase was not. Geochemically the Western Fiordland Orthogneiss occupies an intermediary position between the Darran and Separation Point Suites. Some of the Western Fiordland Orthogneiss rocks were depleted in Rb, Th, U and K and this has been interpreted as partial melting in a region that has already experienced melt depletion. Initial isotope ratios indicate that the suites have not all come from a single source from which they have all fractionated. Sr-Nd modelling reveals that the isotopic signatures of the rocks could be produced by the mixing of depleted mantle with a very small amount of metasediment from the area. Whilst this is possible, it is not the only or most likely mechanism in the genesis of these rocks.
Pisanosaurus mertii and the Triassic ornithischian crisis: could phylogeny offer a solution?

description: Two recent studies have independently recovered Pisanosaurus mertii – long thought to represent the oldest known member of Ornithischia – within Silesauridae. These finds are expanded upon here, as are the implications of this hypothesis. Based upon these finds, it now appears that Ornithischia was absent in the Triassic Period entirely, which constitutes a major incongruence between the fossil record and current phylogenetic hypotheses, particularly the traditional model of dinosaur interrelationships in which Ornithischia and Saurischia are sister-taxa. It has been suggested previously that Ornithischia was simply a rare component of Late Triassic faunas, or that perhaps the clade’s ecology or geographic distribution were not conducive to producing a fossil record. Here I propose that phylogeny could hold the solution to this problem. I examine how an alternative position for Ornithischia – nested either within Theropoda or Sauropodomorpha – could be the reason behind their later appearance and relative rarity in the Early Jurassic. An Early Jurassic origin of Ornithischia would force us to consider that the anatomical similarities between ornithischians and Early Jurassic taxa might not be convergences, and to broaden the current datasets of early dinosaurs to test these ideas.
A local ensemble transform Kalman particle filter for convective scale data assimilation

description: Ensemble data assimilation methods such as the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) are a key component of probabilistic weather forecasting. They represent the uncertainty in the initial conditions by an ensemble which incorporates information coming from the physical model with the latest observations. High-resolution numerical weather prediction models ran at operational centers are able to resolve non-linear and non-Gaussian physical phenomena such as convection. There is therefore a growing need to develop ensemble assimilation algorithms able to deal with non-Gaussianity while staying computationally feasible. In the present paper we address some of these needs by proposing a new hybrid algorithm based on the Ensemble Kalman Particle Filter. It is fully formulated in ensemble space and uses a deterministic scheme such that it has the ensemble transform Kalman filter (ETKF) instead of the stochastic EnKF as a limiting case. A new criterion for choosing the proportion of particle filter and ETKF update is also proposed. The new algorithm is implemented in the COSMO framework and numerical experiments in a quasi-operational convective-scale setup are conducted. The results show the feasibility of the new algorithm in practice and indicate a strong potential for such local hybrid methods, in particular for forecasting non-Gaussian variables such as wind and hourly precipitation.

Придворная певческая капелла.

description: Статья посвящена русскому церковному пению XIX века как целостному художественно ценному явлению. Значение всесословного феномена церковного пения в русской жизни выходило далеко за пределы собственно эстетической или внутрицерковной проблематики. Автор фиксирует в XIX веке тенденции «реформировать», «очистить» церковное пение, приблизив его к некоему идеалу; отмечает и настойчивость, с которой предпринимались официальные попытки «унифицировать» стихийно сложившиеся многообразные формы церковного пения. При всех означенных обстоятельствах церковное пение всегда являлось наиболее доступным всем русским людям видом музыкального искусства. История церковного пения излагалась по «княжениям» директоров Капеллы, поскольку ее мощный диктат в cинодальный период, по мнению историков, определял церковно-певческую жизнь всей страны и препятствовал проявлению такого роста в области духовного пения, какой происходил в это время в области музыки светской. Между тем именно в годы обозначенного периода складывается тот стилистический облик русского церковного пения, который во многом определил все последующее, включая и наши дни.

description: This report presents the design and implementation of a car capable of line following and self-balancing using the TM4C123GH6PZ MCU. The car incorporates a 12-Gray Sensor for line detection, an Ultra-Sonic Sound Sensor for obstacle detection, two motors, and a motor driver. The MCU serves as the central controller, processing sensor data and executing algorithms for line following and self-balancing. The line-following algorithm uses real-time data from the 12-Gray Sensor to keep the car aligned with the line. The self-balancing algorithm maintains stability by monitoring the tilt angle and making corrective adjustments. Challenges such as sensor calibration and motor control were addressed through testing and adjustments. The evaluation demonstrated accurate line following, stable self-balancing, and TM4C123GH6PZ Microcontroller Based Intelligent Car 1 efficient obstacle avoidance. The integration of components enabled autonomous navigation and safe operation. The car design achieved line following and self-balancing using the TM4C123GH6PZ MCU. Future improvements could include sensor fusion and advanced obstacle avoidance. This project showcases the potential of embedded systems in creating intelligent autonomous vehicles.

description: We study the effect of surface-induced Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) on the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectrum of thickness-modulated one-dimensional magnonic crystals and isolated stripes. The DMI is found to substantially increases the intensity of absorption peaks and shifts the frequencies of the laterally quantized modes. The role of the DMI is determined by analyzing the amplitude and phase distributions of dynamic magnetic excitations calculated with frequency- and time-domain calculation methods. We propose experimentally realizable magnonic crystals and confined structures with multiple FMR absorption peaks. The frequency or magnetic field separation between FMR lines is exploited to propose a method for estimation of the DMI strength.

Последовательно выявляются важнейшие аспекты теории и практики регентского обучения в профессиональных и монастырских хорах Древней Руси, педагогических традиций Синодального училища, современной практики работы регентских школ и отделений древнерусского певческого искусства в консерваториях, что позволяет выдвинуть ряд практических предложений, необходимых для развития отечественного церковно-певческого образования в XXI веке. Определяются задачи современного отечественного духовного музыкального образования: приобщить студентов к культуре родной страны, обобщить, расширить и углубить имеющиеся у студентов знания о духовной музыке, систематизировать и скорректировать имеющиеся представления о русском духовном искусстве, способствовать формированию духовных, нравственно-этических идеалов, ценностных ориентиров, запечатленных в философии и искусстве нашей страны. Для развития духовного музыкального образования в России необходимо восполнение лакун в учебном материале за счет освоения дополнительного круга музыкальных сочинений; привлечение более широкого круга специалистов соответствующего профиля, необходимых для осуществления процессов межвузовского диалога, широкое использование новых технологий, инновационных методов современной педагогики и компьютерных технологий в духовных учебных заведениях, создание интеграционных органов управления (например, научных Советов), комплексных учебных пособий и программ, что, несомненно, обогатит и студентов, и профессорско-преподавательскую корпорацию.

Turing patterns in parabolic systems of conservation laws and numerically observed stability of periodic waves

description: Turing patterns on unbounded domains have been widely studied in systems of reaction-diffusion equations. However, up to now, they have not been studied for systems of conservation laws. Here, we (i) derive conditions for Turing instability in conservation laws and (ii) use these conditions to find families of periodic solutions bifurcating from uniform states, numerically continuing these families into the large-amplitude regime. For the examples studied, numerical stability analysis suggests that stable periodic waves can emerge either from supercritical Turing bifurcations or, via secondary bifurcation as amplitude is increased, from sub-critical Turing bifurcations. This answers in the affirmative a question of Oh-Zumbrun whether stable periodic solutions of conservation laws can occur. Determination of a full small-amplitude stability diagram-- specifically, determination of rigorous Eckhaus-type stability conditions-- remains an interesting open problem.

description: В статье приводится обзор основных трудов по истории русского церковного пения, написанных в XIX – начале ХХ века. Их авторами являются по преимуществу лица духовного звания, в связи с чем их оценки церковного пения в XIX веке представляют особый интерес: рассматривают труды протоиерея Димитрия Разумовского, А.В. Преображенского, И.А. Гарднера. На проведенном анализе концепций и факторов, зафиксированных авторитетными исследованиями, автор отмечает ключевые выводы рассмотренных работ и делает выводы о тенденции сохранения традиции церковного пения: монастырская певческая культура и старообрядчество. Как показала последующая эпоха, и особенно наши дни, именно они оказались явлениями жизнеи дееспособными, играя важную роль в возрождающемся церковном пении России в конце ХХ – начале XXI века. Утверждение основных направлений в старообрядческом пении, складывание и распространение монастырских роспевов – важнейшие явления XIX столетия.

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Fatty acids (FAs) and lipids produced in yeast could provide an alternative source for consumable oils in the future. In this work, four recombinant yeast strains were developed using The SCRaMbLEing technology (Synthetic Chromosome Recombination and Modification by Lox-P Mediated Evolution) developed in the global Yeast 2.0 project aiming to build a completely synthetic Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The genes: ACC1 (acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1), ACS1 (acetyl-CoA synthetase), FAS1 (fatty acid synthase 1) and FAS2 (fatty acid synthase 2) enclosed by loxP sites were overexpressed in a semi-synthetic yeast strain equipped with a synthetic chromosome 14 containing about 260 Lox-P sites to enable SCRaMbLE. The lipid stain Nile red stain for neutral lipids was successfully used in conjunction with flow cytometry to develop a high through put screening protocol for yeast strains with increased FA content. The FA profiles of the SCRaMbLEd strains Syn-sXIV,Syn-sACC1, and Syns-FAS2 were then analysed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry and an increase in C16:0, C16:1, C18:0 and C18:1 FA content was detected in strains expressing ACC1, and FAS2.

description: Thermal QCD equations of state at high baryon density are sensitive to the phase structure and the resulting excitation modes. The leading contribution at low temperature can be either ~p_F^2 T^2 (pF: Fermi momentum, T: temperature) for phases with gapless quarks, or ~T^4 for phases with gapped quarks. In the latter the thermal pressure is dominated by collective modes. Starting with a schematic quark model developed for neutron star structure, we estimate the thermal contributions and zero point energy from the Nambu-Goldstone modes by building them upon the mean field background for the color-flavor-locked quark matter. Applying the phase shift representation for thermodynamic potentials, we include not only the bound state pairs but also resonating pairs. According to the Levinson's theorem, the high energy contributions tend to cancel the pole contributions to the thermodynamics, tempering the UV behaviors in the zero point energy. Our primary target in this talk is the domain with baryon density nB as large as ~ 5-10n_0 (n_0 = 0.16 fm^{-3}: nuclear saturation density), and the temperature T of the order ~30-100 MeV. The insights into this domain may be obtained through the future detection of gravitational waves from neutron star merging events.

description: Le schede PST (Patrimonio Scientifico e Tecnologico) sono uno strumento fondamentale per catalogare e preservare il patrimonio storico-scientifico italiano. Originariamente, questo patrimonio veniva incluso in categorie di tutela archeologica e storico-artistica, ma con l'evoluzione del concetto di bene culturale, è stato necessario sviluppare normative specializzate e strumenti appositi come le schede PST. Queste schede, progettate in collaborazione con istituzioni come l'ICCD e rappresentative di discipline scientifiche specifiche, consentono di catalogare una vasta gamma di oggetti legati alla storia della scienza, della tecnologia e dell'industria. Oltre a essere strumenti amministrativi, le schede PST svolgono un ruolo cruciale nella tutela e gestione del patrimonio scientifico, fornendo dettagli su conservazione, provenienza, interventi di restauro e altro ancora. Sono inoltre fondamentali per la ricerca, la creazione di cataloghi e la produzione di materiale multimediale, contribuendo così a valorizzare e promuovere le collezioni scientifiche a livello locale e internazionale. Il seguente documento si propone di fornire delle linee guida per la compilazione delle schede PST su SICAP al fine di standardizzare il processo di catalogazione e garantire un'adeguata documentazione del patrimonio scientifico e tecnologico custodito dalle istituzioni.

description: It has been well established that individuals with higher trait emotional intelligence (TEI) experience superior psychological health. Research has also shown that TEI predicts less of an acute stress reaction following a discrete stressor, though this is not invariant across stressors. Further, while it is known that adaptive cognitive and behavioural domains of coping styles and emotion regulation (ER) are associated with TEI, it is not known whether these domains can explain the predictive effect of TEI on psychological health, and thus act as potential mechanisms to explain the apparent benefit of the dispositional construct of TEI. Finally, it is not known whether these effects are consistent across different measures of TEI. Across five studies, this thesis aimed to investigate (1) what systematic differences exist among TEI measurement tools; (2) whether coping styles and ER strategies, particularly cognitive reappraisal, can explain the association between TEI and psychological health and reactions to stress; (3) whether types of reappraisal can be identified and classified according to a theoretically coherent framework; and (4) whether different types of reappraisal moderate the effect of TEI on stress responses differentially. Results showed important differences between TEI measurement tools in associations with personality, distress, coping and ER, suggesting disunity within the TEI construct as operationalised by different researchers. Second, coping styles primarily explain why high TEI individuals experience lower general stress and anxiety, but that greater use of reappraisal by high TEI individuals is key to an apparent adaptive increase in stress when facing a high-demand task, while anxiety remains low. A distinction between two types of reappraisal was established, which had distinctive effects on individuals’ acute stress response, and differentially moderated the effect of TEI on acute stress responses. Thus, this thesis showed that, assisted by using reappraisal, high TEI individuals seemingly have the capability to engage more thoroughly with the realistic demands of stressful life events, which, while initially more taxing, is ultimately beneficial.

description: Random fields are useful mathematical objects in the characterization of non-deterministic complex systems. A fundamental issue in the evolution of dynamical systems is how intrinsic properties of such structures change in time. In this paper, we propose to quantify how changes in the spatial dependence structure affect the Riemannian metric tensor that equips the model's parametric space. Defining Fisher curves, we measure the variations in each component of the metric tensor when visiting different entropic states of the system. Simulations show that the geometric deformations induced by the metric tensor in case of a decrease in the inverse temperature are not reversible for an increase of the same amount, provided there is significant variation in the system entropy: the process of taking a system from a lower entropy state A to a higher entropy state B and then bringing it back to A, induces a natural intrinsic one-way direction of evolution. In this context, Fisher curves resemble mathematical models of hysteresis in which the natural orientation is pointed by an arrow of time.

description: UDP-glucose 4-epimerase (UGE) is a universal enzyme responsible for interconversion of UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose. However, the gene encoding UGE from Davallia divaricate is elusive. In this study, two UGE genes, ddUGE1 and ddUGE2, were isolated and cloned from D. divaricate using a transcriptome-guided search strategy. Two unigenes sharing high sequence identity with UGE homologous genes were selected from transcriptome assembly. The enzymes, further functionally expressed in Escherichia coli, exhibit narrow substrate specificity. The biochemical characterization assays of DdUGE1 and DdUGE2 showed good thermal and pH stability, and metal ion independence, which provides a meaningful feature for biotechnological applications.
Exploring the pedagogical content knowledge of experienced geography teachers

description: This study examines the nature of experienced Geography teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) of students' ideas and the role of two key factors, teachers' content knowledge and teachers' epistemological beliefs, in shaping the development and enactment of this knowledge base. Whereas earlier studies in Mathematics and Science education have highlighted the need for teachers to consider students' common alternative conceptions when designing instruction, relatively little is known about this area of Geography teachers' knowledge. The study employs a mixed method design, including the use of structured questionnaires, drawing tasks and semi-structured interviews, to determine the alternative conceptions of tropical cyclone causes and processes held by 380 Year 9/10 students studying Geography in Sydney schools. This data is used as a basis for examining the PCK of students' ideas held by 17 experienced secondary Geography teachers. Lesson observations, semi-structured interviews and video-stimulated recall sessions are used to investigate the ways in which Geography teachers use their knowledge of students' common alternative conceptions to inform instruction, and to investigate the importance of the teachers' content knowledge and epistemological beliefs in the development and enactment of this knowledge base. The findings of the study indicate that experienced Geography teachers vary in their depth of knowledge of students' conceptions and that the development and enactment of this knowledge base is influenced by a number of factors or filters (including the teachers' content knowledge and epistemological beliefs). These findings have implications for further research, for curriculum mapping and program development in schools, for teacher professional development and the formulation of policy. A preliminary model of PCK development and enactment is proposed as a framework to guide the future research agenda in this area.

description: Spike timing-based representations of sensory information depend on embedded dynamical frameworks within neuronal networks that establish the rules of local computation and interareal communication. Here, we investigated the dynamical properties of olfactory bulb circuitry in mice of both sexes using microelectrode array recordings from slice and in vivo preparations. Neurochemical activation or optogenetic stimulation of sensory afferents evoked persistent gamma oscillations in the local field potential. These oscillations arose from slower, GABA(A) receptor-independent intracolumnar oscillators coupled by GABA(A)-ergic synapses into a faster, broadly coherent network oscillation. Consistent with the theoretical properties of coupled-oscillator networks, the spatial extent of zero-phase coherence was bounded in slices by the reduced density of lateral interactions. The intact in vivo network, however, exhibited long-range lateral interactions that suffice in simulation to enable zero-phase gamma coherence across the olfactory bulb. The timing of action potentials in a subset of principal neurons was phase-constrained with respect to evoked gamma oscillations. Coupled-oscillator dynamics in olfactory bulb thereby enable a common clock, robust to biological heterogeneities, that is capable of supporting gamma-band spike synchronization and phase coding across the ensemble of activated principal neurons.

description: As a member of p53 family, p73 has attracted intense investigations due to its structural and functional similarities to p53. Among more than ten p73 variants, the transactivation (TA) domain-containing isoform TAp73 is the one that imitates the p53's behavior most. TAp73 induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, which endows it the capacity of tumour suppression. Also, it can exert diverse biological influences on cells through activating a complex and context dependent transcriptional programme. The transcriptional activities further broaden its roles in more intricate biological processes. In this article, we report that p73 is a positive regulator of a cell adhesion related gene named integrin β4 (ITGB4). This finding may have implications for the dissection of the biological mechanisms underlining p73 functions.

description: Few inventions have shaped the world like the incandescent bulb. While Edison used thermal radiation from ohmically heated conductors, some noble metals exhibit "cold" electroluminescence (EL) in percolation films, tunnel diodes, electromigrated nanoparticle aggregates, optical antennae, or scanning-tunnelling microscopy (STM). The origin of this radiation, which is spectrally broad and depends on applied bias, is controversial given the low radiative yields of electronic transitions. Nanoparticle EL is particularly intriguing since it involves localized surface-plasmon resonances with large dipole moments. Such plasmons enable very efficient non-radiative fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) coupling to proximal resonant dipole transitions. We demonstrate nanoscopic FRET-LEDs which exploit the opposite process, energy transfer from silver nanoparticles to exfoliated monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). In diffraction-limited hotspots showing pronounced photon bunching, broadband silver EL is focused into the narrow excitonic resonance of the atomically thin overlayer. Such devices may offer alternatives to conventional nano-LEDs in on-chip optical interconnects.
