description: Neuropsychological assessment forms an essential part of the screening, diagnosis and general assessment of Alcohol-Related Brain Damage (ARBD). A number of studies have evaluated the applicability of various neuropsychological tests within the context of ARBD assessment, yet little attempt has been made to collate this evidence and discuss its clinical application. The aim of this protocol is to outline the methodology for a systematic review that aims to identify the neuropsychological tools being used to assess cognitive impairments in individuals with ARBD and evaluate their efficacy within this context. We will search a number of online databases and other sources to identify studies using a neuropsychological tool in the screening, diagnosis or neuropsychological assessment of individuals with ARBD. Primary outcome measures of interest will be construct validity, convergent validity, reliability (retest and inter-rater), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and practical considerations. Results from the review will assist clinicians and researchers involved in the assessment and diagnosis of ARBD by providing a synthesis and critical analysis of the evidence base for each tool, allowing them to make efficient and well-informed test selections. Review findings could also be used to inform the development of guidelines for ARBD diagnosis and assessment.

description: Abstract: This article analyzes the main stages and issues that primary school teachers had to face to reach the position of schoolmistresses in the first half of XXth century. Going through the study of the set of rules in school, the analysis of data related to getting role and the interpretation of diaries and letters found in schoolmistresses’ personal files, the article wants to show how being part of female gender affected the entrance in management roles for women.

Abstract: L’articolo analizza le tappe principali ed evidenzia le problematiche che le insegnanti della scuola primaria hanno dovuto affrontare per diventare Direttrici nella prima metà del XX Secolo. Attraverso lo studio della normativa scolastica, l’analisi dei dati quantitativi sulle immissioni in ruolo e la lettura di diari e lettere ritrovati nei fascicoli personali delle Direttrici, il presente contributo mette in evidenza come l’appartenenza al genere femminile abbia condizionato l’accesso delle donne alla carriera dirigenziale.

description: The absence of high Eddington ratio, obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in local ($z\lesssim0.1$) samples of moderate luminosity AGN has generally been explained to result from radiation pressure on the dusty gas governing the level of nuclear ($\lesssim10$pc) obscuration. However, very high accretion rates are routinely reported among obscured quasars at higher luminosities, and may require a different feedback mechanism. We compile constraints on obscuration and Eddington ratio for samples of X-ray, optical, infrared, and submm selected AGN at quasar luminosities. Whereas moderate luminosity, obscured AGN in the local universe have a range of lower Eddington ratios ($f_{\rm Edd} \sim 0.001-0.1$), the most luminous ($L_{\rm bol} \gtrsim 10^{46} $erg s$^{-1}$) IR/submm-bright, obscured quasars out to $z\sim3$ commonly have very high Eddington ratios ($f_{\rm Edd} \sim 0.1-1$). This apparent lack of radiation pressure feedback in luminous obscured quasars is likely coupled with AGN timescales, such that a higher fraction of luminous obscured quasars are seen due to the short timescale for which quasars are most luminous. Adopting quasar evolutionary scenarios, extended ($\sim10^{2-3}$pc) obscuration may work together with the shorter timescales to explain the observed fraction of obscured, luminous quasars, while outflows driven by radiation pressure will slowly clear this material over the AGN lifetime.

description: Quantum secret sharing (QSS) plays a significant role in multiparty quantum communication and is a crucial component of future quantum multiparty computing networks. Therefore, it is highly valuable to develop a QSS protocol that offers both information-theoretic security and validation in real optical systems under a finite-key regime. In this work, we propose a three-user QSS protocol based on phase-encoding technology. By adopting symmetric procedures for the two players, our protocol resolves the security loopholes introduced by asymmetric basis choice without prior knowledge of the identity of the malicious player. Kato's concentration inequality is exploited to provide security against coherent attacks with the finite-key effect. Moreover, the practicality of our protocol has been validated under a 30-dB channel loss with a transmission distance of 5-km fiber. Our protocol achieves secure key rates ranging from 432 to 192 bps by choosing different pulse intensities and basis selection probabilities. Offering enhanced security and practicality, our protocol stands as an essential element for the realization of quantum multiparty computing networks.

description: We use the asymmetric simple exclusion process for describing vehicular traffic flow at the intersection of two streets. No traffic lights control the traffic flow. The approaching cars to the intersection point yield to each other to avoid collision. This yielding dynamics is model by implementing exclusion process to the intersection point of the two streets. Closed boundary condition is applied to the streets. We utilize both mean-field approach and extensive simulations to find the model characteristics. In particular, we obtain the fundamental diagrams and show that the effect of interaction between chains can be regarded as a dynamic impurity at the intersection point.

description: The magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity of n-type BaTi{1-x}Nb{x}O3 have been measured over a wide temperature range. It is found that, for 0 < x < 0.2, dopant electrons form immobile spin singlet small bipolarons with binding energy around 110 meV. For x = 0.2, a maximum in the electrical resistivity around 15 K indicates a crossover from band to hopping transport of the charge carriers, a phenomenon expected but rarely observed in real polaronic systems.

description: This study utilized an adapted alternating treatments design to compare the effectiveness of a unimodal (ASL-only) instructional presentation and a multimodal (ASL+Picture Communication Symbols) instructional presentation in teaching American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary words to two deaf children with intellectual disabilities. The results indicated that, overall, instruction resulted in increases in the participants' ability to produce unknown ASL vocabulary. However, the two participants demonstrated differences in their ability to produce the target ASL vocabulary words correctly. For one participant, the ASL+PCS instructional condition was somewhat more effective, but no difference across the two conditions was demonstrated for the second participant. The results are discussed in terms of their educational and research implications, limitations, and applicability to future research.

description: Infusing highly transparent silicone optics with ferromagnetic particles makes these optical elements susceptible to controllable deformations. Lenses made of silicone can thus shift their focal length. This poster presents the results of determining a silicone’s transmittance and refractive index experimentally as well as utilizing multiphysical simulation to explore viable application spaces through focal length shifts. Further, concepts are shown to produce functionalized lenses, where particles are included using additive manufacturing and the curing behavior of the silicone is controlled.

description: The rapid, objective measurement of spider fear is important for clinicians, and for researchers studying fear. To facilitate this, we adapted the Fear of Spiders Questionnaire (FSQ) into Turkish. The FSQ is quick to complete and easy to understand. Compared to the commonly used Spider Phobia Questionnaire, it has shown superior test-retest reliability and better discrimination of lower levels of spider fear, facilitating fear research in non-clinical samples. In two studies, with 137 and 105 undergraduates and unselected volunteers, our adapted FSQ showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .95 and .96) and test-retest reliability (r = .90), and good discriminant validity against the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory—Trait (r = .23) and Beck Anxiety Inventory—Trait (r = .07). Most importantly, our adapted FSQ significantly predicted 26 students’ self-reported discomfort upon approaching a caged tarantula; however, a measure of behavioural avoidance of the tarantula yielded little variability, so a more sensitive task will be required for future behavioural testing. Based on this initial testing, we recommend our adapted FSQ for research use. Further research is required to verify that our adapted FSQ discriminates individuals with and without phobia effectively. A Turkish-language report of the studies is included as supplementary material.

description: This chapter surveys theoretical and practical aspects of impeachment in Central and Eastern Europe, focussing on the 11 countries that joined the European Union after 2004. After the process of impeachment was virtually non-existent under Socialist rule, all countries introduced measures allowing for the removal of public officials as part of their transition to democracy. The chapter focusses primarily on the rules governing presidential impeachment and gauges the impact of legislative thresholds, public involvement and the role constitutional courts in shaping hurdles and incentives for initiating proceedings. The discussion is accompanied brief case studies of the use impeachment regulations across the region – including the impeachment of Rolandas Paksas in Lithuania and the two failed attempts to oust Romanian president Traian Basescu – and illustrates their relevance in relation to both directly and indirectly elected heads of state. Drawing on these examples and broadening the focus to include impeachment of other public officials, the last part of the chapter assesses the degree which to impeachment proceedings in Central and Eastern Europe have been instrumentalised by political elites. The chapter concludes by placing the findings into a wider context and reflecting on the future role of impeachment proceedings across the region amid larger trends, such as democratic backsliding and increasing political polarization.

description: Small-world networks are ubiquitous in real-life systems. Most previous models of small-world networks are stochastic. The randomness makes it more difficult to gain a visual understanding on how do different nodes of networks interact with each other and is not appropriate for communication networks that have fixed interconnections. Here we present a model that generates a small-world network in a simple deterministic way. Our model has a discrete exponential degree distribution. We solve the main characteristics of the model.

description: The non-trivial topological features in the energy band of non-Hermitian systems provide promising pathways to achieve robust physical behaviors in classical or quantum open systems. A key topological feature, unique to non-Hermitian systems, is the non-trivial winding of the energy band in the complex energy plane. Here we provide direct experimental demonstrations of such non-trivial winding, by implementing non-Hermitian lattice Hamiltonians along a frequency synthetic dimension formed in a ring resonator undergoing simultaneous phase and amplitude modulations, and by directly characterizing the complex band structures. Moreover, we show that the topological winding can be straightforwardly controlled by changing the modulation waveform. Our results open a pathway for the experimental synthesis and characterization of topologically non-trivial phases in non-conservative systems.

Signal and corresponding backgrounds for these leptons are studied. We have found that single production of heavy leptons is more relevant than that of pair production, as expected. For a maximal mixing value of 0.1, the upper mass limits of 2750 GeV in the single case and 1250 GeV in the pair production case are obtained at $\sqrt{s}=3$ TeV collider option.

description: In quantum mechanics the statistics of the outcomes of a measuring apparatus is described by a positive operator valued measure (POVM). A quantum channel transforms POVM's into POVM's, generally irreversibly, thus loosing some of the information retrieved from the measurement. This poses the problem of which POVM's are "undisturbed", namely they are not irreversibly connected to another POVM. We will call such POVM clean. In a sense, the clean POVM's would be "perfect", since they would not have any additional "extrinsical" noise. Quite unexpectedly, it turns out that such cleanness property is largely unrelated to the convex structure of POVM's, and there are clean POVM's that are not extremal and vice-versa. In this paper we solve the cleannes classification problem for number n of outcomes n<=d (d dimension of the Hilbert space), and we provide a a set of either necessary or sufficient conditions for n>d, along with an iff condition for the case of informationally complete POVM's for n=d^2.

Comparison of surimi and solubilized surimi for kamaboko production from farmed chinook salmon
Creators: name: Richardson, Jill Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The thesis hypothesis of this research was that farmed chinook salmon could be made into better quality functional kamaboko when made from solubilized frozen surimi than when made from conventional frozen surimi. An 84 day storage study compared kamaboko gel quality made from solubilized and traditional surimi. Fresh farmed chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) was used to make both solubilized surimi and surimi (control). Solubilized treatments contained varying concentrations of calcium chloride, sodium chloride and water. The Random Centroid Optimization (RCO) program randomly generated concentration values of additives. All surimi treatments (solubilized and control) contained 8.3% cryoprotectants. Treatments were taken from storage on days 3, 7, 14, 28, 56 and 84 from an -8°C freezer and made into kamaboko. Solubilized treatments were diluted after frozen storage and then centrifuged to constant moisture content. All kamaboko gels had respective moisture, protein, crude fat and ash contents of 74.5 + 5.5%, 13.6 ± 1.7%, 4.4 + 2.4%, and 5.6 ± 3.1%. Salts added to solubilized treatments influenced ash content. No proximate analysis trends were observed between treatments during the storage study. Variation in protein and water concentrations within the range of this study did not appear to affect overall kamaboko quality.

description: Teleparallel gravity offers a new avenue in which to construct gravitational models beyond general relativity. While teleparallel gravity can be framed in a way to be dynamically equivalent to general relativity, its modifications are mostly not equivalent to the traditional route to modified gravity. $f(T,B)$ gravity is one such gravitational theory where the second and fourth order contributions to the field equations are decoupled. In this work, we explore the all important cosmological perturbations of this new framework of gravity. We derive the gravitational propagation equation, its vector perturbation stability conditions, and its scalar perturbations. Together with the matter perturbations, we derive the effective gravitational constant in this framework, and find an interesting branching behaviour that depends on the particular gravitational models being probed. We close with a discussion on the relation of these results with other gravitational theories.

Year: 2007
Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: This paper evaluates an almost universally distributed supplementary feeding program. The use of simple binary program may not reveal sufficient variation to identify program effect. So, taking advantage from detailed information on program implementation in the data set, this paper uses proportion of child's life exposed to the program to reveal variation in program intensity. This enables us to proceed further to deal with endogenous program placement: excluding the non-treated children and focusing estimation of program effect on treated children. The main findings follow. First, although the program was almost universally distributed, there was high variation in program intensity across communities. In addition, the distribution of program intensity appeared to be non-random as indicated by the importance of several observed community characteristics as well as regional unobserved heterogeneity. Second, program appeared to be effective in maintaining nutritional status of children including those with worst initial nutritional status. Its effectiveness however benefited only some segments of the group.

description: We address the problem of particle acceleration in solar flares by fast modes which may be excited during the reconnection and undergo cascade and are subjected to damping. We extend the calculations beyond quasilinear approximation and compare the acceleration and scattering by transit time damping and gyroresonance interactions. We find that the acceleration is dominated by the so called transit time damping mechanism. We estimate the total energy transferred into particles, and show that our approach provides sufficiently accurate results We compare this rate with energy loss rate. Scattering by fast modes appears to be sufficient to prevent the protons from escaping the system during the acceleration. Confinement of electrons, on the other hand, requires the existence of plasma waves. Electrons can be accelerated to GeV energies through the process described here for solar flare conditions.

description: The manufacturing industry is facing various challenges today - globalization, fast-moving sales markets, short product life cycles, individualization, mass production and diversity of variants are trends that will continue or even increase in the future. Speed and flexibility in production are thus becoming important success factors for companies. To meet the demands of the market, there is a growing necessity to deploy employees flexibly within the production process. This increases the need for additional qualification of workers. By overlaying reality with virtual cues, Head-mounted displays (HMD) can present information in a situation-specific and location-linked manner. Data glasses also offer a high and convertible degree of support through the possibility of providing different media forms while both hands are available at the same time. Augmented Reality (AR) guidance systems are already available on the market and are suitable as permanent assistance systems, but only to a limited extent for qualification aspects. An industrially applicable qualification software that collects expert knowledge from skilled workers and then makes it available to new or inexperienced employees in an adaptive way that promotes learning is currently not available. This paper therefore presents the development of the software AQUA, which taps internal expertise with low effort and creates training courses that convey learning content to learners without over- or under-challenging them.

description: This paper examines the market and welfare effects of cooperative involvement in cost-reducing process innovation activity in the context of a mixed oligopsony where an open-membership marketing co-op competes with an IOF. The presence of the marketing co-op is shown to result in increased producer prices and welfare gains for all farmers, members and non-members of the co-op. The effect of the marketing co-op on process innovation activity depends on the relative quality of its final products, the degree of producer heterogeneity, and the size of innovation costs.

description: The dynamic structure factor of a simple relativistic fluid is calculated. The coupling of acceleration with the heat flux present in Eckart's version of irreversible relativistic thermodynamics is examined using the Rayleigh-Brillouin spectrum of the fluid. A modification of the width of the Rayleigh peak associated to Eckart's picture of the relativistic nature of heat is predicted and estimated.

description: A key challenge in visual place recognition (VPR) is recognizing places despite drastic visual appearance changes due to factors such as time of day, season, weather or lighting conditions. Numerous approaches based on deep-learnt image descriptors, sequence matching, domain translation, and probabilistic localization have had success in addressing this challenge, but most rely on the availability of carefully curated representative reference images of the possible places. In this paper, we propose a novel approach, dubbed Bayesian Selective Fusion, for actively selecting and fusing informative reference images to determine the best place match for a given query image. The selective element of our approach avoids the counterproductive fusion of every reference image and enables the dynamic selection of informative reference images in environments with changing visual conditions (such as indoors with flickering lights, outdoors during sunshowers or over the day-night cycle). The probabilistic element of our approach provides a means of fusing multiple reference images that accounts for their varying uncertainty via a novel training-free likelihood function for VPR. On difficult query images from two benchmark datasets, we demonstrate that our approach matches and exceeds the performance of several alternative fusion approaches along with state-of-the-art techniques that are provided with prior (unfair) knowledge of the best reference images. Our approach is well suited for long-term robot autonomy where dynamic visual environments are commonplace since it is training-free, descriptor-agnostic, and complements existing techniques such as sequence matching.

description: As households participating in the Food Stamp Program and other public assistance programs work more, the additional earnings are partially offset by a reduction in food stamp benefits and cash assistance from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The rate at which food stamp benefits and TANF or SSI cash assistance are reduced with an increase in earnings is referred to as the program's effective benefit reduction rate (EBRR). This report derives FSP EBRRs for earnings with and without cross-program effects from adjustments to TANF or SSI cash assistance due to the additional earnings. The estimated FSP EBRRs are combined with TANF EBRRs and SSI EBRRs to estimate an effective tax rate on earnings in terms of these program benefits. With the authority for TANF programs devolved to States in 1996 Welfare Reform Law, FSP and TANF EBRRs as well as effective tax rates on earnings will vary by State. This report illustrates the treatment of earnings among these programs and the variation in treatment across states.

description: Tire noise is one of the primary sources of highway noise, particularly at high speeds. Different types of road surfaces generate different noise levels. Noise data were collected on eight different surface types found in Kentucky. Noise measurements were made using a reference car, and noise recordings were obtained from the traffic stream. A reference truck was used for one test. It was found that portland cement concrete; Class I, Type A and A(Modified) bituminous concrete; chip seals; and open-graded, plant-mix seals were more or less "normal" surfaces in regard to generated noise. Sand-asphalt and Kentucky rock asphalt surfaces were about 3 dBA quieter (cars) than "normal" surfaces. Grooved portland cement concrete surfaces were approximately 4 dBA louder (cars) than "normal" surfaces. The surface type did not affect the noise emitted by trucks.

description: Artificial intelligence is transforming scientific computing with deep neural network surrogates that approximate solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs). Traditional off-line training methods face issues with storage and I/O efficiency, as the training dataset has to be computed with numerical solvers up-front. Our previous work, the Melissa framework, addresses these problems by enabling data to be created "on-the-fly" and streamed directly into the training process. In this paper we introduce a new active learning method to enhance data-efficiency for on-line surrogate training. The surrogate is direct and multi-parametric, i.e., it is trained to predict a given timestep directly with different initial and boundary conditions parameters. Our approach uses Adaptive Multiple Importance Sampling guided by training loss statistics, in order to focus NN training on the difficult areas of the parameter space. Preliminary results for 2D heat PDE demonstrate the potential of this method, called Breed, to improve the generalization capabilities of surrogates while reducing computational overhead.

description: We present a unified approach to the thermodynamics of hadron-quark-gluon matter at finite temperatures on the basis of a quark cluster expansion in the form of a generalized Beth-Uhlenbeck approach with a generic ansatz for the hadronic phase shifts that fulfills the Levinson theorem. The change in the composition of the system from a hadron resonance gas to a quark-gluon plasma takes place in the narrow temperature interval of $150 - 185$ MeV where the Mott dissociation of hadrons is triggered by the dropping quark mass as a result of the restoration of chiral symmetry. The deconfinement of quark and gluon degrees of freedom is regulated by the Polyakov loop variable that signals the breaking of the $Z(3)$ center symmetry of the color $SU(3)$ group of QCD. We suggest a Polyakov-loop quark-gluon plasma model with $\mathcal{O}(α_s)$ virial correction and solve the stationarity condition of the thermodynamic potential (gap equation) for the Polyakov loop. The resulting pressure is in excellent agreement with lattice QCD simulations up to high temperatures.

description: In order to determine the incidence of black hole accretion-driven nuclear activity in nearby galaxies, as manifested by their radio emission, we have carried out a high-resolution Multi-Element Radio-Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) survey of LINERs and composite LINER/H{\sc ii} galaxies from a complete magnitude-limited sample of bright nearby galaxies (Palomar sample) with unknown arcsecond-scale radio properties. There are fifteen radio detections, of which three are new subarcsecond-scale radio core detections, all being candidate AGN. The detected galaxies supplement the already known low-luminosity AGN -- low-luminosity Seyferts, LINERs and composite LINER/H{\sc ii} galaxies -- in the Palomar sample. Combining all radio-detected Seyferts, LINERs and composite LINER/H{\sc ii} galaxies (LTS sources), we obtain an overall radio detection rate of 54% (22% of all bright nearby galaxies) and we estimate that at least $\sim$50% ($\sim$20% of all bright nearby galaxies) are true AGN. The radio powers of the LTS galaxies allow the construction of a local radio luminosity function. By comparing the luminosity function with those of selected moderate-redshift AGN, selected from the 2dF/NVSS survey, we find that LTS sources naturally extend the RLF of powerful AGN down to powers of about 10 times that of Sgr A*.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt nun Verfahren zur Nutzung der Keramikglühkerze als Sensorelement vor. Das bedeutet, dass die Keramikglühkerze nicht nur ihrer konventionellen Aufgabe als Heizelement nachgeht, sondern auch als Sensor Informationen aus dem Brennraum (wie die Motordrehzahl) liefert. Dabei liegt das Hauptaugenmerk auf der Widerstandsänderung, insbesondere unter dem Einfluss von Temperaturänderungen im Brennraum, in unmittelbarer Umgebung der Keramikglühkerze.

description: Higher-order QED effects play an important role in precision measurements of nucleon elastic form factors in electron scattering. Here we introduce a two-photon exchange QED correction to the parity-violating polarization asymmetry of elastic electron-proton scattering. We calculate this correction in the parton model using the formalism of generalized parton distributions, and demonstrate that it can reach several per cent in certain kinematics, becoming comparable in size with existing experimental measurements of strange-quark effects in the proton neutral weak current.
