description: This study will allow us to refine the development of key components of the health messages lab and gain new knowledge about the effects of alternative formats to communicate uncertainty on participants beliefs, decisions, and behaviours. The objectives of the randomized trial are: To compare the effects of three ways of communicating the overall uncertainty of the effects of wearing glasses to reduce the chance of getting COVID and To compare the effects of including the margin of error (confidence interval) compared to not including it. The primary outcome for all 6 summary versions tested is understanding of the uncertainty. For the 3 summary versions that include the margin of error (compared to those that do not), there is an additional co-primary outcome, assessing understanding of statistical uncertainty (i.e., precision of the effect estimates).

description: The matter inside pulsar-like compact stars could be in a quark-cluster phase since in cold dense matter at a few nuclear densities (2 to 10 times), quarks could be coupled still very strongly and condensate in position space to form quark clusters. Quark-cluster stars are chromatically confined and could initially be bare, therefore the surface properties of quark-cluster stars would be quite different from that of conventional neutron stars. Some facts indicate that a bare and self-confined surface of pulsar-like compact stars might be necessary in order to naturally understand different observational manifestations. On one hand, as for explaining the drifting sub-pulse phenomena, the binding energy of particles on pulsar surface should be high enough to produce vacuum gaps, which indicates that pulsar's surface might be strongly self-confined. On the other hand, a bare surface of quark-cluster star can overcome the baryon contamination problem of Gamma-ray burst as well as promote a successful core-collapse supernova. What is more, the non-atomic thermal spectra of dead pulsars may indicate also a bare surface without atmosphere, and the hydrocyclotron oscillation of the electron sea above the quark-cluster star surface could be responsible for those absorption features detected. These hints could reflect the property of compact star's surface and possibly the state of condensed matter inside, and then might finally result in identifying quark-cluster stars.

description: F-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau fourfold naturally describes non-Abelian gauge symmetries through the singularity structure of the elliptic fibration. In contrast Abelian symmetries are more difficult to study because of their inherently global nature. We argue that in general F-theory compactifications there are massive Abelian symmetries, such as the uplift of the Abelian part of the U(N) gauge group on D7-branes, that arise from non-Kahler resolutions of the dual M-theory setup. The four-dimensional F-theory vacuum with vanishing expectation values for the gauge fields corresponds to the Calabi-Yau limit. We propose that fluxes that are turned on along these U(1)s are uplifted to non-harmonic four-form fluxes. We derive the effective four-dimensional gauged supergravity resulting from F-theory compactifications in the presence of the Abelian gauge factors including the effects of possible fluxes on the gauging, tadpoles and matter spectrum.

description: Chandra LETG+HRC-S and XMM-Newton RGS spectra of H-like C and N formed in the corona of the lambda And primary star, a mildly metal-poor G8 III-IV first ascent giant that completed dredge-up ~50 Myr ago, have been used to make a precise measurement of its surface C/N ratio. We obtain the formal result [C/N]=0.03+/-0.07, which is typical of old disk giants and in agreement with standard dredge-up theory for stars of about 1 M_sun or lower. In contrast, these stars as a group, including lambda And, have 12C/13C ~< 20, which is much lower than standard model predictions. We show that the abundances of the old disk giants are consistent with models including thermohaline mixing that begins at the red giant branch luminosity function "bump". Instead, lambda And indicates that the 12C/13C anomaly can be present immediately following dredge-up, contrary to current models of extra mixing on the red giant branch.

description: We use a pin-grid electrode to introduce a corrugated electrical potential into a planar dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) system, so that the amplitude of the applied electric field has the profile of a two-dimensional square lattice. The lattice potential provides a template for the spatial distribution of plasma filaments in the system and has pronounced effects on the patterns that can form. The positions at which filaments become localized within the lattice unit cell vary with the width of the discharge gap. The patterns that appear when filaments either overfill or under-fill the lattice are reminiscent of those observed in other physical systems involving 2d lattices. We suggest that the connection between lattice-driven DBDs and other areas of physics may benefit from the further development of models that treat plasma filaments as interacting particles.

description: A dual mode device behaving either as a field-effect transistor or a single electron transistor (SET) has been fabricated using silicon-on-insulator metal oxide semiconductor technology. Depending on the back gate polarisation, an electron island is accumulated under the front gate of the device (SET regime), or a field-effect transistor is obtained by pinching off a bottom channel with a negative front gate voltage. The gradual transition between these two cases is observed. This dual function uses both vertical and horizontal tunable potential gradients in non-overlapped silicon-on-insulator channel.

description: The Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) on board of Gaia will perform a large spectroscopic survey to determine the radial velocities of some 1.5x10^8 stars. We present the status of ground-based observations of a sample of 1420 candidate standard stars designed to calibrate the RVS. Each candidate star has to be observed several times before Gaia launch (and at least once during the mission) to ensure that its radial velocity remains stable during the whole mission. Observations are performed with the high-resolution spectrographs SOPHIE, NARVAL and CORALIE, completed with archival data of the ELODIE and HARPS instruments. The analysis shows that about 7% of the current catalogue exhibits variations larger than the adopted threshold of 300 m/s. Consequently, those stars should be rejected as reference targets, due to the expected accuracy of the Gaia RVS. Emphasis is also put here on our observations of bright asteroids to calibrate the ground-based velocities by a direct comparison with celestial mechanics. It is shown that the radial velocity zero points of SOPHIE, NARVAL and CORALIE are consistent with each other, within the uncertainties. Despite some scatter, their temporal variations remain small with respect to our adopted stability criterion.

description: Bibliography: p. 155-157.
description: The use of reinforced concrete flat plates (slabs) in floor construction is often limited by the punching shear strength of the slab-column connection. The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of shear reinforcement, consisting of thin vertical bars with square anchor plates welded at both ends, as a means of improving shear strength and ductility of slabs. Eight specimens were tested, including one without shear reinforcement. Slab dimensions were 1900 x 1900 mm and 150 mm deep (effective depth d = 113 mm) and the column dimensions were 250 x 250 mm. Only axial forces were applied to the centrally located column. Test variables consisted of the number of shear reinforcement elements, the area of each element and the distribution of the elements within the slab. Two types of shear failure are possible; failure by yielding of the shear reinforcement adjacent to the column (under-reinforced for shear) or failure by exhaustion of the shear strength of the slab concrete on a section to the outside of the shear reinforcement, with little or no yielding of the shear reinforcement (over-reinforced for shear). The nominal concrete shear stress which allows the latter failure condition to occur was calculated using a design perimeter extending 'd/2' beyond the outer row of shear reinforcement and was found to be inversely proportional to the length of the design perimeter. The former failure condition depends on the yield force developed by the shear reinforcement within a distance 'd' of the column. Of the seven shear reinforced slabs, one failed after the shear reinforcement yielded; the remainder failed by punching along a section outside the shear reinforcement. A procedure for the design of a slab under-reinforced for shear is presented. The concrete shear strength is calculated using the current Canadian CSA Code equation for the nominal slab punching strength. The contribution by the shear reinforcement to the shear strength of a slab is determined by the elements located within 'd' of the column face, using the truss analogy to account for the effects of spacing and inclination of the failure surface. The ultimate shear strength of a thin slab can be increased by at least 33 percent over the current Code provisions for slabs containing mechanically anchored shear reinforcement so long as the shear reinforcement is suitably detailed. While slab ductility was improved by including shear reinforcement, full yield lines were not observed for any test.

Maladaptation and the paradox of robustness in evolution

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)

description: Background. Organisms use a variety of mechanisms to protect themselves against perturbations. For example, repair mechanisms fix damage, feedback loops keep homeostatic systems at their setpoints, and biochemical filters distinguish signal from noise. Such buffering mechanisms are often discussed in terms of robustness, which may be measured by reduced sensitivity of performance to perturbations. Methodology/Principal Findings. I use a mathematical model to analyze the evolutionary dynamics of robustness in order to understand aspects of organismal design by natural selection. I focus on two characters: one character performs an adaptive task; the other character buffers the performance of the first character against perturbations. Increased perturbations favor enhanced buffering and robustness, which in turn decreases sensitivity and reduces the intensity of natural selection on the adaptive character. Reduced selective pressure on the adaptive character often leads to a less costly, lower performance trait. Conclusions/Significance. The paradox of robustness arises from evolutionary dynamics: enhanced robustness causes an evolutionary reduction in the adaptive performance of the target character, leading to a degree of maladaptation compared to what could be achieved by natural selection in the absence of robustness mechanisms. Over evolutionary time, buffering traits may become layered on top of each other, while the underlying adaptive traits become replaced by cheaper, lower performance components. The paradox of robustness has widespread implications for understanding organismal design.

description: In our study, we show a multiwavelength view of ACT-CL J0019.6+0336 (which hosts a radio halo), to investigate the cluster dynamics, morphology, and ICM. We use a combination of XMM-Newton images, Dark Energy Survey (DES) imaging and photometry, SDSS spectroscopic information, and 1.16 GHz MeerKAT data to study the cluster properties. Various X-ray and optical morphology parameters are calculated to investigate the level of disturbance. We find disturbances in two X-ray parameters and the optical density map shows elongated and axisymmetric structures with the main cluster component southeast of the cluster centre and another component northwest of the cluster centre. We also find a BCG offset of ~950 km/s from the mean velocity of the cluster, and a discrepancy between the SZ mass, X-ray mass, and dynamical mass (MX,500 and MSZ,500 lies > 3σ away from Mdyn,500), showing that J0019 is a merging cluster and probably in a post-merging phase.

description: The majority of patients with benign ovarian cysts undergo laparoscopic surgery using both cystectomy and stripping techniques. However, these techniques have difficulty correctly identifying cleavage planes and are prone to cyst rupture. We present a surgical cystectomy technique that correctly identifies the cleavage plane with a low risk of ovarian cyst rupture, even in patients with multicystic ovarian cysts. Cystectomy was performed using Maryland forceps with gentle open and close dissecting motions only. Both the surgeon and assistant handled the ovarian cortex and cyst wall, and soft traction between the cortex and cyst wall as far as the nearby dissection plane without grasping the cyst wall was essential. In patients with multicystic ovarian cysts, making a plane at the notch between cysts decreases the risk of cyst rupture. This technique allows the correct identification of the cleavage plane for dissection and avoids the risk of cyst rupture.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? The majority of patients with benign ovarian cysts undergo laparoscopic surgery using both cystectomy and stripping techniques. These techniques have difficulty correctly identifying cleavage planes and are prone to cyst rupture.What do the results of this study add? This technique allows the correct identification of the cleavage plane for dissection and avoids the risk of cyst rupture.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Our technique might be useful for the preservation of the ovarian reserve because patients in this study had a low proportion of ovarian follicles in the surgical specimen.

description: Gas hydrates are crystalline compounds of gas and water molecules which are thermodynamically stable at elevated pressures and low temperatures. Their formation is the result of the hydrogen bonding properties of water molecules combined with the van der Waals forces of interaction between "guest" solute and "host" water molecules. Interests in gas hydrates, in the past, were focused mainly on establishing the thermodynamic conditions for their formation with very little attention being given to the kinetics of their formation. In the present investigation, the kinetics of methane hydrate formation are studied using a semibatch stirred tank reactor. The temperatures studied in the experiments are 274.2, 276.5, 278.7, 281.0, and 284.0 Kover a pressure ranging from 3 MPa to 10 MPa. The results reveal that the formation kinetics are a function of the surface area of the gas-water interface, temperature, pressure and degree of supercooling. A plausible mechanism describing the formation of gas hydrates is proposed. The controlling mechanism is suggested to involve the interaction of molecules of water monomers with the parent water cluster and the hydrate forming gas molecules. On the basis of the proposed mechanism, a semi-empirical reaction rate model is formulated and correlated with respect to the obtained experimental data. The resultant expression shows a good fit with the data over the entire range studied. The form of the rate expression is anticipated to apply for other gas hydrates as well.

description: We report the discovery of a velocity coherent, kiloparsec-scale molecular structure toward the Galactic center region with an angular extent of 30° and an aspect ratio of 60:1. The kinematic distance of the CO structure ranges between 4.4 and 6.5 kpc. Analysis of the velocity data and comparison with the existing spiral arm models support that a major portion of this structure is either a subbranch of the Norma arm or an interarm giant molecular filament, likely to be a kiloparsec-scale feather (or spur) of the Milky Way, similar to those observed in nearby spiral galaxies. The filamentary cloud is at least 2.0 kpc in extent, considering the uncertainties in the kinematic distances, and it could be as long as 4 kpc. The vertical distribution of this highly elongated structure reveals a pattern similar to that of a sinusoidal wave. The exact mechanisms responsible for the origin of such a kiloparsec-scale filament and its wavy morphology remains unclear. The distinct wave-like shape and its peculiar orientation makes this cloud, named as the Gangotri wave, one of the largest and most intriguing structures identified in the Milky Way.

description: A set $D \subseteq V(G)$ is a \emph{total dominating set} of $G$ if for every vertex $v \in V(G)$ there exists a vertex $u \in D$ such that $u$ and $v$ are adjacent. A total dominating set of $G$ of minimum cardinality is called a $γ_t(G)$-set. For each vertex $v \in V(G)$, we define the \emph{total domination value} of $v$, $TDV(v)$, to be the number of $γ_t(G)$-sets to which $v$belongs. This definition gives rise to \emph{a local study of total domination} in graphs. In this paper, we study some basic properties of the $TDV$ function; also, we derive explicit formulas for the $TDV$ of any complete n-partite graph, any cycle, and any path.

National Association of Women Artists 63rd Annual Exhibition, May 12 - May 29, 1955
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1955

description: The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) was established in 1889 and is the oldest professional women's fine arts organization in the United States. NAWA's mission is to promote awareness of, and interest in, visual art created by women in the United States. As part of this effort NAWA holds an annual exhibition of works by members of the association and publishes an exhibition catalog to accompany or commemorate the annual exhibitions. These catalogs not only function as an exhibition catalog, but also as a document that summarizes the structure, membership, and activities of the association.Information that can be found in these catalogs includes lists of officers, members of the executive board and committees, prize winners, lists of exhibitor and members, and images of some of the artwork exhibited. Catalogs from the 2000s also include information on NAWA events and activities beyond the annual exhibition.Please note that the numbering of the annual catalogs was adjusted in 1960 and again in 1971. For example, NAWA designated the annual exhibition in 1960 as the 70th Anniversary Exhibition after 1959 was the 67th Annual Exhibition. These adjustments appear to have been made to reflect the date of the founding of the association, so that, by 1989, the annual exhibition commemorated the 100-year anniversary of the founding of NAWA in 1889.

description: The equilibrium thermodynamic properties of binary Lennard–Jones mixtures are determined by means of a Monte Carlo-based perturbation theory for an effective single-component fluid. The results for the equation of state and the excess energy are compared with simulation data obtained for two equimolar binary Lennard–Jones fluid mixtures at different temperatures along a wide range of densities. The satisfactory accuracy achieved seems to suggest that this approach might be a useful tool to deal with mixtures with a wide variety of intermolecular interactions including mixtures of real fluids.

description: Context. The study of old, metal-poor stars deepens our knowledge on the early stages of the universe. In particular, the study of these stars gives us a valuable insight into the masses of the first massive stars and their emission of ionising photons. Aims. We present a detailed chemical analysis and determination of the kinematic and orbital properties of a sample of 11 dwarf stars. These are metal-poor stars, and a few of them present a low lithium content. We inspected whether the other elements also present anomalies. Methods. We analysed the high-resolution UVES spectra of a few metal-poor stars using the Turbospectrum code to synthesise spectral lines profiles. This allowed us to derive a detailed chemical analysis of Fe, C, Li, Na, Mg, Al, Si, CaI, CaII, ScII, TiII, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Sr, and Ba. Results. We find excellent coherence with the reference metal-poor First Stars sample. The lithium-poor stars do not present any anomaly of the abundance of the elements other than lithium. Among the Li-poor stars, we show that CS 22882-027 is very probably a blue-straggler. The star CS 30302-145, which has a Li abundance compatible with the plateau, has a very low Si abundance and a high Mn abundance. In many aspects, it is similar to the α-poor star HE 1424-0241, but it is less extreme. It could have been formed in a satellite galaxy and later been accreted by our Galaxy. This hypothesis is also supported by its kinematics.

description: The majority of patients with benign ovarian cysts undergo laparoscopic surgery using both cystectomy and stripping techniques. However, these techniques have difficulty correctly identifying cleavage planes and are prone to cyst rupture. We present a surgical cystectomy technique that correctly identifies the cleavage plane with a low risk of ovarian cyst rupture, even in patients with multicystic ovarian cysts. Cystectomy was performed using Maryland forceps with gentle open and close dissecting motions only. Both the surgeon and assistant handled the ovarian cortex and cyst wall, and soft traction between the cortex and cyst wall as far as the nearby dissection plane without grasping the cyst wall was essential. In patients with multicystic ovarian cysts, making a plane at the notch between cysts decreases the risk of cyst rupture. This technique allows the correct identification of the cleavage plane for dissection and avoids the risk of cyst rupture.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? The majority of patients with benign ovarian cysts undergo laparoscopic surgery using both cystectomy and stripping techniques. These techniques have difficulty correctly identifying cleavage planes and are prone to cyst rupture.What do the results of this study add? This technique allows the correct identification of the cleavage plane for dissection and avoids the risk of cyst rupture.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Our technique might be useful for the preservation of the ovarian reserve because patients in this study had a low proportion of ovarian follicles in the surgical specimen.

description: We describe four different approaches for the detection of magnetospheric accretion among Herbig Ae/Be stars with accretion disks. Studies of several unique objects have been carried out. One of the objects is the Herbig Ae star HD 101412 with a comparatively strong magnetic field. The second is the early-type Herbig B6e star HD 259431. The existence of a magnetosphere in these objects was not recognized earlier. In both cases, a periodicity in the variation of some line parameters, originating near the region of the disk/star interaction, has been found. The third object is the young binary system HD 104237, hosting a Herbig Ae star and a T Tauri star. Based on the discovery of periodic variations of equivalent widths of atmospheric lines in the spectrum of the primary, we have concluded that the surface of the star is spotted. Comparing our result with an earlier one, we argue that these spots can be connected with the infall of material from the disk onto the stellar surface through a magnetosphere. The fourth example is the Herbig Ae/Be star HD 37806. Signatures of magnetospheric accretion in this object have been identified using a different method. They were inferred from the short-term variability of the He I λ5876 line profile forming in the region of the disk/star interaction.

description: The chemical graph theory helps in understanding the complex structure of molecules. Researchers can acquire a detailed grasp of the physical science, chemical properties, and bio-organic aspects of pharmaceuticals by computing the resolvability, and topological parameters of a drug design. The resolvability constraints for graph G=(V,E) are a relatively new advanced field in which the entire structure is constructed so that each vertex (atom) or edge (bond) indicates a distinct position. A topological index is a type of molecular descriptor that is effectively used in modelling many physicochemical properties in numerous quantitative structure–property/activity relationship (QSPR/QSAR) studies. In the QSPR investigation, topological indices have been used to forecast the bioactivity of chemical molecules. In the proposed study, the metric, edge metric resolvability, and topological indices of oseltamivir and zanamivir, two extensively used antiviral medicines, are computed. Further, we also discuss linear regression analysis between indices and physiochemical properties of drugs. This theoretical analysis may help the chemist and people working in the pharmaceutical industry to predict the properties of zanamivir and oseltamivir drugs without experimenting.

description: Asphaltenes interaction produces problems in oil transport and recovery, and understanding the association process is vital to improving economic and industrial production. Here, we propose the COSMO model in combination with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to complement the results obtained by Newtonian mechanics with quantum results to get reliable association data. Four asphaltene molecules were studied with toluene and heptane solvents. COSMO showed molecular interaction tendencies, which were later verified with MD. The average aggregation number was calculated through MD and turned out to be entirely dependent on the aromaticity due to π-π stacking. The aromatic rings are responsible for aggregation, while the sulfur heteroatom plays a less fundamental role. Viscosity is also related to the aggregation process; a higher tendency in aggregation increases the dynamic viscosity. Diffusion coefficients were correlated with the aromaticity, dipole moment, and molecular weight. Finally, a mathematical comparison between COSMO and MD results is accomplished.
