Exploring the Relationship Between Obesity and Long-term Motor Sequence Skill Learning

description: Mastering motor sequences is essential for many daily life activities, such as typing on a keyboard or playing a piano. This form of learning relies on the striatal nuclei (Doyon, 2008; Doyon et al., 2009) that form the principal inputs to a group of subcortical regions known as the basal ganglia. Previous research has shown that central obesity is associated with compromised striatal functioning, particularly when processing reward signals (Stice et al, 2008). Thus, it is possible that increased physical obesity may be linked to reduced skill learning in a sequential motor task. Using an indirectly-cued serial reaction time task (SRTT), long-term motor sequence learning was assessed in a cohort of thirty participants, with body types ranging from lean, to overweight, to obese. As expected, individuals with a greater degree of central adiposity, measured as central waist circumference, had slower rates of learning across training days compared to leaner counterparts. This association between learning and central adiposity was restricted to response speeds, but not accuracy. These findings confirm the association between physical obesity and the efficiency of long-term motor sequence learning, suggesting that obesity is a general basal ganglia concern, not just for reward processing, but also motor skill learning.

description: Previous studies have suggested a "J-shaped" relationship between body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight (kg)/height (m)2) and survival among head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. However, BMI is a vague measure of body composition. To provide greater resolution, we used Bayesian sensitivity analysis, informed by external data, to model the relationship between predicted fat mass index (FMI, adipose tissue (kg)/height (m)2), lean mass index (LMI, lean tissue (kg)/height (m)2), and survival. We estimated posterior median hazard ratios and 95% credible intervals for the BMI-mortality relationship in a Bayesian framework using data from 1,180 adults in North Carolina with HNC diagnosed between 2002 and 2006. Risk factors were assessed by interview shortly after diagnosis and vital status through 2013 via the National Death Index. The relationship between BMI and all-cause mortality was convex, with a nadir at 28.6, with greater risk observed throughout the normal weight range. The sensitivity analysis indicated that this was consistent with opposing increases in risk with FMI (per unit increase, hazard ratio = 1.04 (1.00, 1.08)) and decreases with LMI (per unit increase, hazard ratio = 0.90 (0.85, 0.95)). Patterns were similar for HNC-specific mortality but associations were stronger. Measures of body composition, rather than BMI, should be considered in relation to mortality risk.

description: Our aim is to determine the presence and location of the emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) towards low and intermediate mass young stars with disks using large aperture telescopes. VLT-VISIR N-band spectra and VLT-ISAAC and VLT-NACO L-band spectra of 29 sources are presented, spectrally resolving the 3.3, 8.6, 11.2, and 12.6 micron PAH features. Spatial-extent profiles of the features and the continuum emission are derived and used to associate the PAH emission with the disks. The results are discussed in the context of recent PAH-emission disk models. The 3.3, 8.6, and 11.2 micron PAH features are detected toward a small fraction of the T Tauri stars, with typical upper limits between 1E-15 and 5E-17 W/m^2. All 11.2 micron detections from a previous Spitzer survey are confirmed with (tentative) 3.3 micron detections, and both the 8.6 and the 11.2 micron features are detected in all PAH sources. For 6 detections, the spatial extent of the PAH features is confined to scales typically smaller than 0.12-0.34'', consistent with the radii of 12-60 AU disks at their distances (typically 150 pc). For 3 additional sources, WL 16, HD 100546, and TY CrA, one or more of the PAH features are more extended than the hot dust continuum of the disk, whereas for Oph IRS 48, the size of the resolved PAH emission is confirmed as smaller than for the large grains. For HD 100546, the 3.3 micron emission is confined to a small radial extent of 12 +- 3 AU, most likely associated with the outer rim of the gap in this disk. Gaps with radii out to 10-30 AU may also affect the observed PAH extent for other sources. For both Herbig Ae and T Tauri stars, the small measured extents of the 8.6 and 11.2 micron features are consistent with larger (>= 100 carbon atoms) PAHs.

Exploring Racial And Academic Identity Through a Literate Practice: Strategies of South African High School Students

description: This project explores the racial and academic identities of South African high school students: how they plan, construct, and write a response to a prompt regarding racial definitions. This inquiry investigates the students’ socio-cultural environment (at school and at home), their writing processes (how they plan and write a response paper) and what factors of self-identity, social environment, racial history, and planning processes led the students to speak about, and write, what they did. We see that there are many social, cultural and academic factors that influence the writing decisions a student makes. The fact that English is the students’ second language, the instructor’s assumptions and perceptions of how to orchestrate Collaborative Planning sessions, and the students’ meta-knowledge, all impact this literate practice. On a cultural note, we see that students’ identities are deeply rooted in South Africa’s Apartheid period. We also observe that discussing, reflecting, and writing about one’s own identity leads to new paths of self-understanding; it also paints a clearer picture of the steps a student makes in articulating him or herself. This paper, then, investigates: the historical, cultural, and academic context in which the students participate in a specific literate practice; the students’ planning, discussion, and written responses to a given prompt; and how their writing strategies impacted the decisions they made - as writers, students, and black South Africans. I will also investigate whether what the students said and planned to do mapped on to their final written work – and if it didn’t, what kind of knowledge representation could have accounted for it. Finally, I reflect on my own experience and perspective on culture and race in South Africa.

description: Background: The National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS) is a multisite, population-based, case–control study of genetic and nongenetic risk factors for major structural birth defects. Eligible women had a pregnancy affected by a birth defect or a liveborn child without a birth defect between 1997 and 2011. They were invited to complete a telephone interview to collect pregnancy exposure data and were mailed buccal cell collection kits to collect specimens from themselves, their child (if living), and their child's father. Over 23,000 families representing more than 30 major structural birth defects provided DNA specimens. Methods: To evaluate their utility for exome sequencing (ES), specimens from 20 children with colonic atresia were studied. Evaluations were conducted on specimens collected using cytobrushes stored and transported in open versus closed packaging, on native genomic DNA (gDNA) versus whole genome amplified (WGA) products and on a library preparation protocol adapted to low amounts of DNA. Results: The DNA extracted from brushes in open packaging yielded higher quality sequence data than DNA from brushes in closed packaging. Quality metrics of sequenced gDNA were consistently higher than metrics from corresponding WGA products and were consistently high when using a low input protocol. Conclusions: This proof-of-principle study established conditions under which ES can be applied to NBDPS specimens. Successful sequencing of exomes from well-characterized NBDPS families indicated that this unique collection can be used to investigate the roles of genetic variation and gene–environment interaction effects in birth defect etiologies, providing a valuable resource for birth defect researchers.

description: Ferromagnetic resonance has been used to study the magnetic properties and magnetization dynamics of polycrystalline Fe$_{1-x}$V$_{x}$ alloy films with $0\leq x < 0.7$. Films were produced by co-sputtering from separate Fe and V targets, leading to a composition gradient across a Si substrate. FMR studies were conducted at room temperature with a broadband coplanar waveguide at frequencies up to 50 GHz using the flip-chip method. The effective demagnetization field $4 πM_{\mathrm{eff}}$ and the Gilbert damping parameter $α$ have been determined as a function of V concentration. The results are compared to those of epitaxial FeV films.

description: Background: Tobacco use is a well-established risk factor for head and neck cancer (HNC). However, less is known about the potential impact of exposure to tobacco at an early age on HNC risk. Methods: We analyzed individual-level data on ever tobacco smokers from 27 case-control studies (17,146 HNC cases and 17,449 controls) in the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology (INHANCE) consortium. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using random-effects logistic regression models. Results: Without adjusting for tobacco packyears, we observed that younger age at starting tobacco use was associated with an increased HNC risk for ever smokers (OR<10 years vs. ≥30 years: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.35, 1.97). However, the observed association between age at starting tobacco use and HNC risk became null after adjusting for tobacco packyears (OR<10 years vs. ≥30 years: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.80, 1.19). In the stratified analyses on HNC subsites by tobacco packyears or years since quitting, no difference in the association between age at start and HNC risk was observed. Conclusions: Results from this pooled analysis suggest that increased HNC risks observed with earlier age at starting tobacco smoking are largely due to longer duration and higher cumulative tobacco exposures.
Exploring Linguistic Structure in Short Fiction: the case for collaboration between literary and technical analysis

description: The following project serves as an exploratory glimpse at a possible future of literary study. It takes a research experiment approach to a typically humanistic field with the intent of demonstrating a need for linguistic and literary collaboration. This project is intended to be a marriage of hard scientific methods and humanistic interpretation. I want to demonstrate the usefulness of technical analysis in performing literary research, to show the value in using objective measures in a traditionally subjective approach. I see the future of the humanities, including English studies, becoming more and more technical with every passing day. The recent emergence of Digital Humanities as a field of academic study only solidifies this claim. This project will be a combination of technical and literary analysis. I aim to show and analyze objective data to show the potential contribution of technology to the literary field. Much of the strength of literary work comes from its subjectivity, from the individual interpretations that characterize the field of English. English studies often explore questions that cannot be quantified, questions about how a text might be interpreted on the whole, what the underlying meaning or larger picture is. A more technical analysis relies on objective data points, which must also be interpreted, and points to conclusions about what is factual, what actually exists. Of interest here is combining the interpretation of the parts of a text with the interpretation of the whole, joining the literary and the technical. Throughout this paper, I will use small case studies on a sample of texts to demonstrate how a research question can be robustly explored using a combination of literary and quantitative techniques. I first pose here a research question to explore: does the genre classification of a fiction text have a structural element? If so, to what can the structural differences be attributed? Are the differences related in any way to the content of the stories themselves? I then narrow the field of interest to short fiction and I propose the following hypothesis: a structural difference can be found between two genres of short fiction stories, science fiction and “actual world” fiction. I further anticipate that a structural difference between the two classifications of fiction can be attributed to an increased need for creating a setting framework within the science fiction works

The Detectability of Nightside City Lights on Exoplanets

description: Next-generation missions designed to detect biosignatures on exoplanets will also be capable of placing constraints on technosignatures (evidence for technological life) on these same worlds. Here, I estimate the detectability of nightside city lights on habitable, Earth-like, exoplanets around nearby stars using direct-imaging observations from the proposed LUVOIR and HabEx observatories, assuming these lights come from high-pressure sodium lamps. I consider how the detectability scales with urbanization fraction: from Earth's value of 0.05%, up to the limiting case of an ecumenopolis -- or planet-wide city. Though an Earth analog would not be detectable by LUVOIR or HabEx, planets around M-dwarfs close to the Sun would show detectable signals at $3\,σ$ from city lights, using 300 hours of observing time, for urbanization levels of 0.4% to 3%, while city lights on planets around nearby Sun-like stars would be detectable at urbanization levels of $\gtrsim10\%$. The known planet Proxima b is a particularly compelling target for LUVOIR A observations, which would be able to detect city lights twelve times that of Earth in 300 hours, an urbanization level that is expected to occur on Earth around the mid-22nd-century. An ecumenopolis, or planet-wide city, would be detectable around roughly 30 to 50 nearby stars by both LUVOIR and HabEx, and a survey of these systems would place a $1\,σ$ upper limit of $\lesssim2\%$ to $\lesssim4\%$, and a $3\,σ$ upper limit $\lesssim10\%$ to $\lesssim15\%$, on the frequency of ecumenopolis planets in the Solar neighborhood assuming no detections.

description: Background: Few studies have examined the impact of lifestyle patterns on survival following breast cancer. We aimed to identify distinct lifestyle patterns based on five behavior/dietary exposures among a population-based sample of women diagnosed with breast cancer and to examine their association with subsequent survival. Methods: In the Carolina Breast Cancer Study Phases I/II, we interviewed 1,808 women 20-74 years of age following diagnosis of invasive breast cancer. We determined vital status using the National Death Index (717 deaths, 427 from breast cancer; median follow-up 13.56 years). We assessed lifestyle patterns using a latent class analysis based on five behavioral and dietary exposures: current versus never/former smokers; low versus high vegetable and fruit intake; high and low/moderate, versus no alcohol consumption; and no and low/moderate, versus high regular physical activity. We used Cox regression to estimate covariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause mortality, and cause-specific and subdistribution HRs for breast cancer-specific mortality within 5 years and 13 years postdiagnosis conditional on 5-year survival. Results: We identified three distinct lifestyle patterns: healthy behavior and diet (n = 916); healthy behavior and unhealthy diet (n = 624); and unhealthy behavior and diet (n = 268). The unhealthy (vs. healthy) behavior and diet pattern was associated with a 13-year conditional all-cause mortality HR of 1.4 (95% CI = 1.1, 1.9) and with 13-year conditional breast cancer-specific and subdistribution HRs of 1.2 (95% CI = 0.79, 1.9) and 1.2 (95% CI = 0.77, 1.8), respectively. Conclusions: Behavioral and dietary patterns can be used to identify lifestyle patterns that influence survival patterns following breast cancer diagnosis.

description: The Leading Arm of the Magellanic System is a tidally formed HI feature extending $\sim 60\arcdeg$ from the Magellanic Clouds ahead of their direction of motion. Using atomic hydrogen (HI) data from the Galactic All Sky-Survey (GASS), supplemented with data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array, we have found evidence for an interaction between a cloud in the Leading Arm and the Galactic disk where the Leading Arm crosses the Galactic plane. The interaction occurs at velocities permitted by Galactic rotation, which allows us to derive a kinematic distance to the cloud of 21 kpc, suggesting that the Leading Arm crosses the Galactic Plane at a Galactic radius of $R\approx 17$ kpc.

Exploration of Imputation Methods for Missingness in Image Segmentation

Subjects: subject: Statistics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Within the field of statistics, a challenging problem is analysis in the face of missing information. Statisticians often have trouble deciding how to handle missing values in their datasets, as the missing information may be crucial to the research problem. If the values are missing completely at random, they could be disregarded; however, missing values are commonly associated with an underlying reason, which can require additional precautions to be taken with the model. In this thesis we attempt to explore the restoration of missing pixels in an image. Any damaged or lost pixels and their attributes are analogous to missing values of a data set; our goal is to determine what type of pixel(s) would best replace the damaged areas of the image. This type of problem extends across both the arts and sciences. Specific applications include, but are not limited to: photograph and art restoration, hieroglyphic reading, facial recognition, and tumor recovery. Our exploration begins with examining various spectral clustering techniques using semi-supervised learning. We compare how different algorithms perform under multiple changing conditions. Next, we delve into the advantages and disadvantages of possible sets of pixel features, with respect to image segmentation. We present two imputation algorithms that emphasize pixel proximity in cluster label choice. One algorithm focuses on the immediate pixel neighbors; the other, more general algorithm allows for user-driven weights across all pixels (if desired).

description: We present near-infrared imaging of a sample of the faint, hard X-ray sources discovered in the 2001 Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS)-I survey towards the Galactic Centre (GC) by Wang et al. These ∼800 discrete sources represent an important and previously undetected population within the Galaxy. From our Very Large Telescope observations of 77 X-ray sources, we identify candidate K-band counterparts to 75 per cent of the Chandra sources in our sample. The near-infrared magnitudes and colours of the majority of candidate counterparts are consistent with highly reddened stars, indicating that most of the Chandra sources are likely to be accreting binaries at or near the GC.
Examining Perseveration in Three-Year-Olds Using the Go/No-Go Task

description: Perseveration, or responding in a previously relevant way that is no longer appropriate, has been traditionally studied in the context of the Dimensional Change Card Sort task (Zelazo, 2006). This study uses a modified version of the Go/No-Go task, which controls for spatial location of the test cards and perceptual conflict of the display, to examine perseveration. Three-year-old children were found to perseverate in the dimensional switch condition; they could not flexibly modify responding behavior and continued to respond to stimuli when no longer appropriate. Children did not perseverate in the non-dimensional switch condition. These findings suggest that perceptual conflict and spatial location associations are not necessary for perseveration errors.

description: We study constraints on f(R) dark energy models from solar system experiments combined with experiments on the violation of equivalence principle. When the mass of an equivalent scalar field degree of freedom is heavy in a region with high density, a spherically symmetric body has a thin-shell so that an effective coupling of the fifth force is suppressed through a chameleon mechanism. We place experimental bounds on the cosmologically viable models recently proposed in literature which have an asymptotic form f(R)=R-lambda R_c [1-(R_c/R)^{2n}] in the regime R >> R_c. From the solar-system constraints on the post-Newtonian parameter gamma, we derive the bound n>0.5, whereas the constraints from the violations of weak and strong equivalence principles give the bound n>0.9. This allows a possibility to find the deviation from the LambdaCDM cosmological model. For the model f(R)=R-lambda R_c(R/R_c)^p with 0

description: Background: A few papers have considered reproducibility of a posteriori dietary patterns across populations, as well as pattern associations with head and neck cancer risk when multiple populations are available. Methods: We used individual-level pooled data from seven case-control studies (3844 cases; 6824 controls) participating in the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology consortium. We simultaneously derived shared and study-specific a posteriori patterns with a novel approach called multi-study factor analysis applied to 23 nutrients. We derived odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx combined, and larynx, from logistic regression models. Results: We identified three shared patterns that were reproducible across studies (75% variance explained): the Antioxidant vitamins and fiber (OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.41, 0.78, highest versus lowest score quintile) and the Fats (OR = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.67, 0.95) patterns were inversely associated with oral and pharyngeal cancer risk. The Animal products and cereals (OR = 1.5, 95% CI = 1.1, 2.1) and the Fats (OR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.4, 2.3) patterns were positively associated with laryngeal cancer risk, whereas a linear inverse trend in laryngeal cancer risk was evident for the Antioxidant vitamins and fiber pattern. We also identified four additional study-specific patterns, one for each of the four US studies examined. We named them all as Dairy products and breakfast cereals, and two were associated with oral and pharyngeal cancer risk. Conclusion: Multi-study factor analysis provides insight into pattern reproducibility and supports previous evidence on cross-country reproducibility of dietary patterns and on their association with head and neck cancer risk.

description: Being atomically thin and amenable to external controls, two-dimensional (2D) materials offer a new paradigm for the realization of patterned qubit fabrication and operation at room temperature for quantum information sciences applications. Here we show that the antisite defect in 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can provide a controllable solid-state spin qubit system. Using high-throughput atomistic simulations, we identify several neutral antisite defects in TMDs that lie deep in the bulk band gap and host a paramagnetic triplet ground state. Our in-depth analysis reveals the presence of optical transitions and triplet-singlet intersystem crossing processes for fingerprinting these defect qubits. As an illustrative example, we discuss the initialization and readout principles of an antisite qubit in WS2, which is expected to be stable against interlayer interactions in a multilayer structure for qubit isolation and protection in future qubit-based devices. Our study opens a new pathway for creating scalable, room-temperature spin qubits in 2D TMDs.

description: Fish intake and other dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to be associated with a reduced risk for some cancers. Although previous studies of head and neck cancer have reported associations with different dietary factors, including reduced risks for fruits and vegetables and putatively healthy dietary patterns, associations specific to fish intake are unclear. This study investigated the association between fish/shellfish intake and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) using data from the Carolina Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology Study, a population-based case-control study conducted in 46 North Carolina counties with cases recruited from 2002 through 2006. Controls were frequency matched to the cases on age, sex, and race; the final sample size was 1039 cases and 1375 controls. Demographic, lifestyle, and dietary information were collected using an in-person interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. Multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated with unconditional logistic regression. Patients whose fish/shellfish intake was among the highest tertile had a 20% lower odds of SCCHN compared with those in the lowest tertile (OR: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.60-1.07) after adjustment for the matching and other factors (income, energy intake, fruit intake, cigarette smoking, and alcohol intake). The inverse association was more pronounced for oral cavity and oropharyngeal tumors, for African Americans, and for females, but CIs were wide. To further investigate this potential risk reduction strategy for SCCHN, future studies should consider examining specific fish/shellfish, cooking practices, and other omega-3 fatty acid sources.

description: Many studies point to the relevance of school leaders’ self-efficacy for the successful organisation and management of schools. However, to date, there are only a few findings on which factors have a positive influence on this characteristic. This study therefore examines the extent to which the use of formal and informal learning opportunities, in addition to the antecedents mentioned by Bandura (mastery experience, vicarious experience, social persuasion, physiological and emotional states), have a direct positive effect on school leaders’ innovation-related self-efficacy, as well as an indirect effect on self-efficacy mediated by mastery experience. Analyses of a survey with a representative sample of N = 405 school leaders in Germany using structural equation models confirmed the effect of mastery experience (i.e. perceived achievement), vicarious experience (i.e. encouragement from a team), and emotional states (i.e. exhaustion) on school leaders’ self-efficacy. Regarding professional development, the analyses revealed a direct positive effect of participation in university training and professional learning networks, which were not mediated by mastery experience. Our results demonstrate the value of leadership preparation programmes that enable the participants to explore different work-related tasks and promote feelings of mastery, as well as the importance of team coherency and potential value of distributed work.

description: Objectives/Hypothesis: Literature examining long-term survival in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with human papillomavirus (HPV) status is lacking. We compare 10-year overall survival (OS) rates for cases to population-based controls. Study Design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: Cases surviving 5 years postdiagnosis were identified from the Carolina Head and Neck Cancer Study. We examined 10-year survival by site, stage, p16, and treatment using Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard models. Cases were compared to age-matched, noncancer controls with stratification by p16 and smoking status. Results: Ten-year OS for HNSCC is less than controls. In 581 cases, OS differed between sites with p16+ oropharynx having the most favorable prognosis (87%), followed by oral cavity (69%), larynx (67%), p16− oropharynx (56%), and hypopharynx (51%). Initial stage, but not treatment, also impacted OS. When compared to controls matched on smoking status, the hazard ratio (HR) for death in p16+ oropharynx cases was 1.5 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.7-3.1) for smokers and 2.4 (95% CI: 0.7-8.8) for nonsmokers. Similarly, HR for death in non–HPV-associated HNSCC was 2.2 (95% CI: 1.7-3.0) for smokers and 2.4 (95% CI: 1.4-4.9) for nonsmokers. Conclusions: OS for HNSCC cases continues to decrease 5 years posttreatment, even after stratification by p16 and smoking status. Site, stage, smoking, and p16 status are significant factors. These data provide important prognostic information for HNSCC. Level of Evidence: 2 Laryngoscope, 129:2506–2513, 2019.
A microfluidic chip and its use in characterising the particle-scale behaviour of Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP)

description: Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) is an innovative ground improvement technique which can enhance the strength and stiffness of soils, and can also control their hydraulic conductivity. These engineering properties of MICP-treated soils are affected by particle-scale behaviour of the precipitated carbonate, i.e. composition, amount and distribution, which are controlled by the MICP process occurring at the particle-scale. In this study, we designed and fabricated a microfluidic chip to improve our understanding of MICP at particle-scale by observing the behaviour of bacteria and CaCO3 crystals during this process. We found that bacteria became evenly distributed throughout the microfluidic chip after the injection of bacterial suspension, grew during bacterial settling, and detached during the injection of cementation solution. Bacteria aggregated during the cementation solution injection, and CaCO3 crystals formed at narrow pore throats or open pore bodies either during or after cementation solution injections.

description: A purely fermionic representation is introduced for the ferromagnetic Kondo lattice model which allows conventional diagrammatic tools to be employed to study correlation effects. Quantum 1/S corrections to magnon excitations are investigated using a systematic inverse-degeneracy expansion scheme which incorporates correlation effects in the form of self-energy and vertex corrections, while explicitly preserving the continuous spin-rotation symmetry. Magnon self-energy is studied in the full range of interaction strength, and shown to result in strong magnon damping and anomalous softening for zone boundary modes, which accounts for several zone-boundary anomalies observed in recent spin-wave measurements of ferromagnetic manganites.
