description: We report the direct comparison between the stabilities of two mobile absolute gravimeters of different technology: the LNE-SYRTE Cold Atom Gravimeter and FG5X\#216 of the Université du Luxembourg. These instruments rely on two different principles of operation: atomic and optical interferometry. The comparison took place in the Walferdange Underground Laboratory for Geodynamics in Luxembourg, at the beginning of the last International Comparison of Absolute Gravimeters, ICAG-2013. We analyse a 2h10 duration common measurement, and find that the CAG shows better immunity with respect to changes in the level of vibration noise, as well as a slightly better short term stability.

Circulation Redistribution in Leading-edge Vortices on Rotating Wings
Creators: Giner-Morency, Clara
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This work presents an investigation into the circulation transport within an LEV on a rotating wing and its governing dynamics. These dynamics were used to produce a model for the computationally inexpensive prediction of circulation growth and distribution within an LEV. The test-case used in this study was performed on a thin flat plate in rotation at Re of Re=1000 and Re=2500.

The model conceptualizes the circulation transport as species transport, which means that fluid particles entering the leading-edge vortex shear-layer are conceptualized as vorticity-containing mass and are advected perfectly by the spanwise flow. The present work thus offers a study of the extent to which circulation is tied to mass, for some classes of three-dimensional flows. From the vorticity transport equation, a circulation balance is developed between a proposed circulation generation and the vorticity transport terms, such that only two unknows must be characterized by the model itself: the shear-layer velocity profile and the spanwise flow distribution. A shear-layer velocity relationship with the mass rate entering the LEV is suggested such that the modeller only needs to determine the shear-layer thickness. The spanwise flow distribution is characterized by a Bernoulli-derived equation such that both the rotational acceleration and the pressure gradient along the span are represented.

To verify the validity of the concept and the accuracy of the model predictions, the model is compared against experimental circulation measurements taken with PIV and show good agreement given an accurate spanwise flow. Moreover, the validity of both the shear-layer velocity profile model and the spanwise flow distribution approximation is investigated individually, again against experimental measurements. While the model showed sensitivity to the spanwise flow, the model showed to be insensitive to the value chosen by the modeller for the shear-layer thickness (the only unknown parameter).

Lastly, the present work offers an investigation of the vorticity annihilation and its effect on the modelled net circulation. The present work suggests that vorticity annihilation may be a local property and that the net circulation in the near-field of a wing may be determined from the leading-edge shear-layer alone. Hence, the present work argues that modelling the net circulation accounts for the vorticity annihilation mechanism acting locally without having to model the extra term.

description: The paper proves existence of mild solutions to normal discrete velocity Boltzmann equations sin the plane with no pair of colinear interacting velocities, and given ingoing boundary values. A key property is L1 compactness of the integrated collision frequency for a sequence of approximations. This is proved using the Kolmogorov-Riesz theorem, which here replaces the L1 compactness of velocity averages, not available when the velocities are discrete.
description: The velocity conditions are more general than in the previous version. The end of proof, Section 4, is changed. The appendix is replaced with a reference to the paper where those background properties were first proved. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2101.11922, arXiv:2007.02094
ARES+MOOG - a practical overview of an EW method to derive stellar parameters

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: The goal of this document is to describe the important practical aspects in the use of an Equivalent Width (EW) method for the derivation of spectroscopic stellar parameters. A general description of the fundamental steps composing any EW method is given, together with possible differences that may be found in different methods used in the literature. Then ARES+MOOG is then used as an example where each step of the method is described in detail. A special focus is given for the specific steps of this method, namely the use of a differential analysis to define the atomic data for the adopted line list, the automatic EW determinations, and the way to find the best parameters at the end of the procedure. Finally, a practical tutorial is given, where we focus on simple exercises useful to illustrate and explain the dependence of the abundances with the assumed stellar parameters. The interdependences are described and a clear procedure is given to find the "final" stellar parameters.

Structural insight of transcriptional terminator recognition by ProQ/FinO domain RNA  chaperones
Creators: Kim, Hyeong Jin
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The ProQ/FinO family is an emerging group of RNA binding proteins that are critical for sRNA-mediated gene regulation in proteobacteria. The ProQ/FinO domain of these proteins recognizes a transcriptional terminator, hairpin-tail structure, to regulate gene expression. The important role of the ProQ/FinO domain in RNA binding was well-studied, however, the molecular mechanism remained unclear due to a lack of structural information of ProQ/FinO proteins in complex with their target RNAs. To understand how the ProQ/FinO domain recognizes RNA in molecular detail, we chose to study RocC, a ProQ/FinO domain containing protein and its sRNA partner RocR.

The structure of the ProQ/FinO domain of RocC in complex with the RocR transcriptional terminator was determined using X-ray crystallography at 3.2 Å resolution. Two conserved structural motifs within RocC were identified that were the major contact points for RocR. One was an N-cap motif which recognized the A-form structure of one strand at the base of the RocR hairpin. The other was a positively charged pocket containing a -turn--helix motif that recognized the last two 3’ nucleotides of the 3’ single-stranded tail.

    Structure-guided mutagenesis demonstrated essential residues for RocC:RocR binding in vitro and transformation repression in vivo. As the structure revealed, mutations in the N-cap motif and the 3’ binding pocket weakened binding and impaired biological function of RocC. Binding assays of RocC with a 10 nucleotide single-stranded RNA, which showed direct contact with RocC in the crystal structure, was tested using isothermal calorimetry (ITC). The dissociation constant (KD) decreased 19-fold compared to the intrinsic terminator, suggesting that A-form helical structure is required for tight binding to restrain conformation of 3’ side lower stem. The substitution of the 3’ hydroxyl group to a phosphate completely disrupted binding with RocC. This result corroborated the 3’ hydroxyl group recognition by RocC observed in crystal structure.

    An analysis of the conservation of the RocC RNA contact surfaces across the ProQ/FinO family suggests that the principles of RNA recognition from the RocC:RocR structure will hold for many members of this family.

Olanzapine approved for the acute treatment of schizophrenia or manic/mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adolescent patients
Creators: name: Sikich, Lin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: BackgroundSevere and persistent mental illnesses in children and adolescents, such as early- onset schizophrenia spectrum (EOSS) disorders and pediatric bipolar disorder (pedBP), are increasingly recognized. Few treatments have demonstrated efficacy in rigorous clinical trials. Enduring response to current medications appears limited. Recently, olanzapine was approved for the treatment of adolescents with schizophrenia or acute manic/mixed episodes in pedBP.MethodsPubMed searches were conducted for olanzapine combined with pharmacology, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder. Searches related to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder were limited to children and adolescents. The bibliographies of the retrieved articles were hand-checked for additional relevant studies. The epidemiology, phenomenology, and treatment of EOSS and pedBP, and olanzapine’s pharmacology are reviewed. Studies of olanzapine treatment in youth with EOSS and pedBP are examined.ResultsOlanzapine is efficacious for EOSS and pedBP. However, olanzapine is not more efficacious than risperidone, molindone, or haloperidol in EOSS and is less efficacious than clozapine in treatment-resistant EOSS. No comparative trials have been done in pedBP. Olanzapine is associated with weight gain, dyslipidemia, and transaminase elevations in youth. Extrapyramidal symptoms, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and blood dyscrasias have also been reported but appear rare.ConclusionsThe authors conclude that olanzapine should be considered a second-line agent in EOSS and pedBP due to its risks for significant weight gain and lipid dysregulation. Awareness of the consistent weight and metabolic changes observed in olanzapine-treated youth focused attention on the potential long-term risks of atypical antipsychotics in youth.

description: The formation of protostellar discs is severely hampered by magnetic braking, as long as magnetic fields remain frozen in the gas. The latter condition depends on the levels of ionisation that characterise the innermost regions of a collapsing cloud. The chemistry of dense cloud cores and, in particular, the ionisation fraction is largely controlled by cosmic rays. The aim of this paper is to evaluate whether the attenuation of the flux of cosmic rays expected in the regions around a forming protostar is sufficient to decouple the field from the gas, thereby influencing the formation of centrifugally supported disc. We adopted the method developed in a former study to compute the attenuation of the cosmic-ray flux as a function of the column density and the field strength in clouds threaded by poloidal and toroidal magnetic fields. We applied this formalism to models of low- and high-mass star formation extracted from numerical simulations of gravitational collapse that include rotation and turbulence. For each model we determine the size of the magnetic decoupling zone, where collapse or rotation motion becomes unaffected by the local magnetic field. In general, we find that decoupling only occurs when the attenuation of cosmic rays is taken into account with respect to a calculation in which the cosmic-ray ionisation rate is kept constant. The extent of the decoupling zone also depends on the dust grain size distribution and is larger if large grains (of radius $\sim 10^{-5}$ cm) are formed by compression and coagulation during cloud collapse. We conclude that a realistic treatment of cosmic-ray propagation and attenuation during cloud collapse may lead to a value of the resistivity of the gas in the innermost few hundred AU around a forming protostar that is higher than generally assumed.

description: A history of Lackland Air Force Base describing the major changes that have occurred over the years, telling the highlights of the Lackland story. The San Antonio Aviation Cadet Center, as it was called in 1943, looked new and unfinished but was already helping perform a training mission vital to victory in World War II. Since that time, Lackland has continued to serve the Air Force and our nation. Today Lackland Air Force Base is a busy community spread over almost 7000 acres in the southwest part of San Antonio, Texas. With more than 1000 buildings, the base resembles a small city. It has a great medical center, a modern shopping complex, theaters, restaurants, bowling alleys, swimming pools, gas stations, and shady residential areas. The main purpose of Lackland, however, is still training. Dormitories, classrooms, and athletic fields cover much of the base.

Identifying Negative Language Transfer in the English Writing of Chinese and Farsi Native Speakers
Creators: Karimiabdolmaleki, Mohammad
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Effective communication in English can facilitate educational and employment opportunities for second-language learners. English as a second or foreign language (ESOL) learners tend to employ rules from their native language while communicating in English, which can lead to Negative Language Transfer (NLT) when the rules transferred from the mother tongue do not match those of English. To assist ESOL learners in writing in English, NLT errors should be identified. However, manually identifying NLT is a difficult task, demanding time and expertise in both languages. Although NLT is a well-researched phenomenon in linguistics, few attempts have been made to automatically identify NLT in learner writing using machine learning techniques. In this work, I have implemented four classification algorithms to automatically identify NLT errors in second-language learner writing. The results show that the models can identify NLT in the English writing of Chinese and Farsi native speakers. This work makes the following contributions: (1) it implements supervised machine learning models and language models to identify NLT in learner writing; (2) it evaluates the models using two different datasets in two languages to investigate the generalizability of the models; and (3) it identifies the most important features for detecting NLT. This work shows

that the implemented models can be used in unstructured domains to identify NLT automatically for speakers of two languages: one is logographic and the other alphabetic.

description: Prepulse inhibition (PPI) and reactivity of the acoustic startle response are widely used biobehavioral markers in psychopathology research. Previous studies have demonstrated that PPI and startle reactivity exhibit substantial within-site stability; between-site stability, however, has not been established. In two separate consortia investigating biomarkers of early psychosis, traveling subjects studies were performed as part of quality assurance procedures in order to assess the fidelity of data across sites. In the North American Prodromal Longitudinal Studies (NAPLS) Consortium, 8 normal subjects traveled to each of the 8 NAPLS sites and were tested twice at each site on the startle PPI paradigm. In preparation for a binational study, 10 healthy subjects were assessed twice in both San Diego and Mexico City. Intraclass correlations between and within sites were significant for PPI and startle response parameters, confirming the reliability of startle measures across sites in both consortia. There were between site differences in startle magnitude in the NAPLS study that did not appear to be related to methods or equipment. In planning multi-site studies, it is essential to institute quality assurance procedures early and establish between site reliability to assure comparable data across sites.

description: We propose a universal mechanism for the Josephson diode effect in short Josephson junctions. The proposed mechanism is due to finite Cooper pair momentum and is a manifestation of simultaneous breaking of inversion and time-reversal symmetries. The diode efficiency is up to 40%, which corresponds to an asymmetry between the critical currents in opposite directions $I_{c+}/I_{c-} \approx$ 230%. We show that this arises from both the Doppler shift of the Andreev bound state energies and the phase-independent asymmetric current from the continuum. Finally, we propose a simple scheme for achieving finite-momentum pairing, which does not rely on spin-orbit coupling and thus greatly expands existing platforms for the observation of supercurrent diode effects.

description: Cues associated with rewards acquire the ability to engage the same brain systems as rewards themselves. However, reward cues have multiple properties. For example, they not only act as predictors of reward capable of evoking conditional responses (CRs), but they may also acquire incentive motivational properties. As incentive stimuli they can evoke complex emotional and motivational states. Here we sought to determine whether the predictive value of a reward cue is sufficient to engage brain reward systems, or whether the cue must also be attributed with incentive salience. We took advantage of the fact that there are large individual differences in the extent to which reward cues are attributed with incentive salience. When a cue (conditional stimulus, CS) is paired with delivery of food (unconditional stimulus, US), the cue acquires the ability to evoke a CR in all rats; that is, it is equally predictive and supports learning the CS-US association in all. However, only in a subset of rats is the cue attributed with incentive salience, becoming an attractive and desirable incentive stimulus. We used in situ hybridization histochemistry to quantify the ability of a food cue to induce c-fos mRNA expression in rats that varied in the extent to which they attributed incentive salience to the cue. We found that a food cue induced c-fos mRNA in the orbitofrontal cortex, striatum (caudate and nucleus accumbens), thalamus (paraventricular, intermediodorsal and central medial nuclei) and lateral habenula, only in rats that attributed incentive salience to the cue. Furthermore, patterns of “connectivity” between these brain regions differed markedly between rats that did or did not attribute incentive salience to the food cue.

In recent years, the performance of the construction industry warns of its increased need for better resource efficiency, improved productivity, less waste and increased value through sustainable construction practices. Existing literature reveals that construction-related spending accounts for 13% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product, but its annual productivity growth has increased by 1% over the past 20 years. The core concept of sustainable construction is to maximize value and minimize harm by achieving a balance between social, economic, technical, and environmental aspects, commonly known as the pillars of sustainability. The selection of structural material plays a vital role in building construction since it is the backbone of any structure. Also, the process of producing structural consumes massive amounts of nonrenewable natural resources. Reinforced concrete, structural steel, reinforced masonry, and timber represent the most commonly used structural materials. The decision of selecting the structural material for any construction project is traditionally made based mainly on technical and economic considerations with little or no attention paid to social and environmental aspects. Furthermore, the majority of the available literature on the subject considered a single sustainability aspect, not considering all four sustainability pillars together. When all pillars of sustainability are considered, the process of decision-making becomes more difficult and complicated due to the involvement of a large number of factors influencing the decision. Industry experts have also noted an unfulfilled need for a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique that can integrate all stakeholders’ (project owner, designer and constructor) opinions into the selection process. Hence, this research developed a Decision Support System (DSS) involving MCDM techniques to aid in selecting the most sustainable structural material considering the four pillars of sustainability. A hybrid MCDM method combining AHP, decision matrix, TOPSIS and VIKOR in a Fuzzy environment is used to develop the DSS. Multiple sub-criteria were identified and evaluated through a literature review and expert opinions. A hypothetical 8-story building was considered for a case study to validate the developed DSS. Notable differences were found in the final ranking of the alternatives of each team due to the significant differences in weights assigned to each sub-criterion based on experts’ preferences. The developed DSS is designed to be generic in nature, can be used by any group of industry practitioners and is expected to enhance objectivity and consistency of the decision-making process as a step towards achieving sustainable construction.

description: En este trabajo realizamos un acercamiento a la obra La santa Fulvia (1928) de Enrique Gustavino. A través de nuestro análisis observaremos cómo los elementos de la farsa presentes en el texto confluyen con los del grotesco. A partir de esta confluencia, nos referiremos a la manera en que la obra socava y muestra lo que antes permanecía oculto en la sociedad burguesa de la época, poniendo de manifiesto frente al receptor situaciones que fueron consideradas tabúes. Cuando Gustavino demitifica a la burguesía y muestra abiertamente lo que sucede “detrás de las cortinas”, está destapando una parte de la sociedad que, tradicionalmente, se caracteriza por ser cerrada, y por tener sus propias reglas apartadas de las de los demás, siendo este texto uno que señala abiertamente lo oculto en esa sociedad. Son desde estas coordenadas que nuestro trabajo se organiza y adquiere sentido final.
description: In this article we analize the play La santa Fulvia (1928), written by the Argentinean Enrique Gustavino. Through our approach, we take into consideration how farse elements work together with grotesque elements. Through this confluence, we notice how the play shows what was kept hidden in the bourgeois society of the time. Thus, it reveals situations which were considered taboo in that particular era. When Gustavino demonstrates what is happening “behind the blinds”, he is also uncovering a part of society which traditionally is closed, and has its own rules apart from other peoples’ rules. It’s from this framework that our article is organized and acquires its final sense.

description: In our previous paper, we determined $r_{\rm skin}^{208}({\rm exp})=0.278 \pm 0.035$~fm from $σ_{\rm R}$ for p+$^{208}$Pb scattering, using the Kyushu (chiral) $g$-matrix folding model with the densities calculated with D1S-GHFB with the angular momentum projection (AMP). The value agrees with that of PREX2. Reaction cross sections $σ_{\rm R}$ are available for p+$^{48}$Ca scattering, whereas interaction cross sections $σ_{\rm I}$ are available for $^{48}$Ca + $^{12}$C scattering. As for $^{48}$Ca, the high-resolution $E1$ polarizability experiment ($E1$pE) yields $r_{\rm skin}^{48}(E1{\rm pE}) =0.14 \sim 0.20~{\rm fm}$. We determine $r_{\rm skin}^{48}({\rm exp})$ from the data on $σ_{\rm R}$ for p+$^{48}$Ca scattering and from the data on $σ_{\rm I}$ for $^{48}$Ca+$^{12}$C scattering. We use the Kyushu $g$-matrix folding model with the densities calculated with the D1M-GHFB+AMP densities. The D1M-GHFB+AMP proton and neutron densities are scaled so as to reproduce the data under the condition that the radius $r_{\rm p}$ of the scaled proton density equals the data $r_{\rm p}({\rm exp})$ determined from the electron scattering. We deduce skin values $r_{\rm skin}=r_{\rm n}({\rm exp})-r_{\rm p}({\rm exp})$ from the resulting $r_{\rm n}({\rm exp})$ and the $r_{\rm p}({\rm exp})$ determined from electron scattering. The same procedure is taken for D1S-GHFB+AMP. We regard $r_{\rm skin}^{48}(E1{\rm pE})$ as a reference skin value. Using the reference skin value and taking D1M-GHFB+AMP, we determine $r_{\rm skin}^{48}({\rm exp})=0.158 \pm 0.025$~fm for p+$^{48}$Ca scattering and $0.160 \pm 0.058$~fm for $^{48}$Ca + $^{12}$C scattering. We take the weighted mean and its error for the two skin values. The result is $r_{\rm skin}^{48}({\rm exp})=0.158 \pm (0.023)_{\rm exp} \pm (0.012)_{\rm th}~{\rm fm}$.

description: We present a study of the vertical structure of the gaseous and stellar disks in a sample of edge-on galaxies (NGC 4157, 4565, and 5907) using BIMA/CARMA 12CO (J = 1 --> 0), VLA H I, and Spitzer 3.6 micron data. In order to take into account projection effects when we measure the disk thickness as a function of radius, we first obtain the inclination by modeling the radio data. Using the measurement of the disk thicknesses and the derived radial profiles of gas and stars, we estimate the corresponding volume densities and vertical velocity dispersions. Both stellar and gas disks have smoothly varying scale heights and velocity dispersions, contrary to assumptions of previous studies. Using the velocity dispersions, we find that the gravitational instability parameter Q follows a fairly uniform profile with radius and is greater than or equal to 1 across the star forming disk. The star formation law has a slope that is significantly different from those found in more face-on galaxy studies, both in deprojected and pixel-by-pixel plots. Midplane gas pressure based on the varying scale heights and velocity dispersions appears to roughly hold a power-law correlation with the midplane volume density ratio.

description: We have demonstrated OPV accelerated degradation studies using concentrated sunlight, where the atmosphere, temperature and illumination intensity were independently controlled. Testing various schemes for controlling the sample temperature under concentrated sunlight showed that heating of P3HT:PCBM was caused by photons at the absorbed wavelength range and dissipation of excess photon energy, and not necessarily by IR photon absorption. Sunlight chopping was found to be an effective method for independent temperature control under illumination by concentrated sunlight. The first accelerated degradation tests using sunlight concentration applied to P3HT:PCBM blends were reported. P3HT:PCBM blends exposed to concentrated sunlight in the presence of traces of oxygen/ humidity showed degradation induced by photo-oxidation of the P3HT backbone within the P3HT:PCBM blend, which is significantly thermally accelerated, in agreement with previous observations. However, this could be demonstrated in a time scale of minutes and hours, i.e., significantly accelerated. Exposure of well encapsulated P3HT:PCBM films to concentrated sunlight demonstrated stability up to 3,600 sun*hours, corresponding to about 1.6 years of operating time. This result was obtained at 300 suns exposure after merely 12 hours, demonstrating the advantage of using concentrated sunlight for accelerated stability tests. These tests can therefore combine extremely high acceleration factors with profound understanding of the effect of various, independently controlled factors on the degradation mechanisms.
Peaks and primordial black holes: the effect of non-Gaussianity

description: In light of recent developments in the field, we re-evaluate the effect of local-type non-Gaussianity on the primordial black hole (PBH) abundance (and consequently, upon constraints on the primordial power spectrum arising from PBHs). We apply peaks theory to the full, non-linear compaction, finding that, whilst the effect of non-Gaussianity is qualitatively similar to previous findings, the effect is much less significant. It is found the non-Gaussianity parameters $f_\mathrm{NL}^\mathrm{local}$ and $g_\mathrm{NL}^\mathrm{local}$ typically need to be approximately 1 or 2 orders of magntiude larger respectively to have a similar to that previously found. The effect will be to weaken the dependance of PBH constraints on the primordial power spectrum on the non-Gaussianity parameters, as well as to dramatically weaken constraints on the non-Gaussianity parameters (and/or PBH abundance) arising from the non-observation of dark matter isocurvature modes. We also consider the correlation between the curvature perturbation $ζ$ and the compaction $C$, finding that, whilst PBHs may form at rare peaks in $C$ these do not necessarily correspond to rare peaks in $ζ$ - casting some doubt on many of the existing calculations of the PBH abundance.
