description: Το φαινόμενο της εδαφικής διάβρωσης στην περιοχή της Μεσογείου αυξάνεται εντατικά τα τελευταία χρόνια. H Κρήτη αποτελεί τυπική μεσογειακή περιοχή που έχει επηρεαστεί από το φαινόμενο αισθητά την τελευταία δεκαετία. Η επίγνωση της παρούσας κατάστασης καθώς και η πρόβλεψη της εξέλιξης της επιταχυμένης εδαφικής διάβρωσης είναι σημαντική για τη διαχείριση του φαινομένου και των επιπτώσεων που επιφέρει άμεσα και έμμεσα στο περιβάλλον και την οικονομία. Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετάται ο κίνδυνος διάβρωσης του εδάφους σε τέσσερις υδρολογικές λεκάνες της δυτικής Κρήτης και συγκεκριμένα του Ακρωτηρίου, των Βρυσών, των Δελιανών και του Κερίτη, μέσω του μοντέλου  RUSLE, και εκτιμάται η πιθανότητα κινδύνου διάβρωσης στην περιοχή για το 2050, με χρήση πιθανοτικού μοντέλου χρήσεων γης (LULC) και βροχοπτώσεων (RCM). Το μοντέλο RUSLE εξετάζει το φαινόμενο μέσω πέντε βασικών παραγόντων που αφορούν τις βροχοπτώσεις, τις χρήσεις γης, τη μορφολογία, τη γεωμορφολογία και τις πρακτικές προστασίας και διαχείρισης που εφαρμόζονται για την πρόληψη του φαινομένου. Ο παράγοντας των βροχοπτώσεων υπολογίστηκε από ημερήσια βροχομετρικά δεδομένα σταθμών πλησίον και εσωτερικά της περιοχής μελέτης, ο παράγοντας χρήσεων γης εξάχθηκε με χρήση τεχνολογιών τηλεπισκόπησης, ο μορφολογικός παράγοντας μέσω ψηφιακού υψομετρικού μοντέλου, ο παράγοντας που αφορά τις πρακτικές προστασίας των εδαφών με οπτική παρατήρηση των εικόνων του Google Earth, ενώ ο συντελεστής που αφορά τη διαπερατότητα του εδάφους εξετάστηκε μέσω της βιβλιογραφίας αλλά και μέσω δειγματοληψίας και ανάλυσης εδάφους που πραγματοποιήθηκε από το εργαστήριο.  Από την εκπόνηση της εργασίας αποδεικνύεται (α) η τάση για διάβρωση της περιοχής και προβλέπεται αύξηση των απωλειών εδάφους, (β) μαζί με την προβλεπόμενη μεταβολή των κατακριμνήσεων, όπως υπολογίζεται από το κλιματικό μοντέλο,  και (γ) η τάση προς αύξηση- επέκταση κυρίως των αστικών περιοχών, όσο αφορά το χωροταξικό μοντέλο.
Posttraumatic growth, empowerment, and volunteering : cultural and religious perspectives
Creators: name: Clingeleffer, KL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: While posttraumatic growth (PTG) has been demonstrated across a variety of cross-cultural contexts, the fact that expression and understanding of this construct can be affected by cultural, religious, and organisational characteristics makes it important to assess the validity of this construct for specific groups (Weiss & Berger, 2010). This study aimed to address this issue by first conducting focus group interviews to examine how Taiwanese Buddhist disaster recovery volunteers (N =25) interpreted their work experience and associated outcomes when working in disaster contexts. Finding that their accounts supported face validity for the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996) and the Psychological Empowerment Instrument (Spreitzer, 1995) underpinned the conduction of exploratory factor analysis for PTG and empowerment. The EFA was based on data from 254 Taiwanese, Buddhist volunteers. A two-factor model for empowerment was found. A factor structure for the PTGI could not be established. As a result, consistent with the work of Weiss and Burger (2010) it was suggested that while these constructs may be applicable to this context the PTGI may be an inappropriate measure of PTG for this population.

description: Radio sources of the RC catalog produced in 1980--1985 at RATAN-600 radio telescope based on a deep survey of a sky strip centered on the declination of the SS 433 source are optically identified in the region overlapping with FIRST and SDSS surveys (about 132 square degrees). The NVSS catalog was used as the reference catalog for refining the coordinates of the radio sources. The morphology is found for about 75% of the objects of the sample and the ratio of single, double and multicomponent radio sources is computed based on FIRST radio maps. The 74, 365, 1400, and 4850 MHz data of the VLSS, TXS, NVSS, FIRST, and GB6 catalogs are used to analyze the shape of the spectra.

Effect of the 5-HTTLPR genotype on memory performance in older adults
Creators: name: Imlach, AR
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The s allele, of the 5-HTTLPR genotype has been associated with a negative effect on memory function, however very few studies have examined the impact of this gene polymorphism in older age. This is important given the functional impact of memory decline in ageing, and given that serotonin declines with age. The present study examined the effect of the 5-HTTLPR genotype (s/s and s/l versus l/l genotypes) on episodic and working memory function across age. This effect was also examined separately across males and females. A total of 298 female and 140 male participants were recruited as part of The Healthy Brian Project with a mean age 60.35 years (range 49-80). Participants were administered tests of visual and verbal episodic and working memory as well as being genotyped for the 5-HTTLPR gene. Moderation analysis revealed decline in verbal episodic memory across age was differentially predicted by the 5-HTTLPR genotype, with this effect being moderated by sex. There was no significant moderation of 5-HTTLPR on visual episodic or working memory measures across age. These findings suggest serotonin influences verbal episodic memory specifically and has a differential effect in women and men across age.

description: BACKGROUND Obesity is a prominent problem in the United States and in North Carolina. One way of combating it is with community-engaged interventions that foster collaboration between health-oriented organizations and community residents. PURPOSE Our purpose was to assemble a multifaceted group in Durham, North Carolina, to identify factors affecting obesity-related lifestyle behaviors; assess policies, resources, and the population's perception of the problem of obesity; and develop plans to improve health outcomes related to obesity. METHODS A team consisting of more than 2 dozen partners was assembled to form Achieving Health for a Lifetime (AHL) in order to study and address obesity in the community, initially focusing on elementary school-age children. The team developed a resource guide by collecting information by telephone interviews of provider organizations; geospatial resource maps were created using high-resolution geographic information systems, Duke's Data Support Repository, and county and city records; and focus groups were conducted using the nominal group technique. RESULTS The AHL team, in collaboration with 2 other teams focused on diabetes and cardiovascular disease, identified 32 resources for diabetes, 20 for obesity, and 13 for cardiovascular disease. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the team identified an area of Durham that had only 1 supermarket, but 34 fast-food restaurants and 84 convenience stores. LIMITATIONS The focus on particular neighborhoods means that the information obtained might not pertain to all neighborhoods. CONCLUSION The AHL team was able to assemble a large community partnership in Durham that will allow the members of the community to continue to work toward making residents healthier. Communities facing similar challenges can learn from this experience.

Paralauterborniella nigrohalteralis (Malloch, 1915) is the monotypic species of this genus. In mid-July, we collected an adult male of this species in a drift net set in a Yukon River distributary. This is a new faunistic record for Alaska. Our additional records of this species are larvae collected from Scottie and Desper Creeks in Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge. The collection from this habitat varies from the known habitat, which is the littoral soft sediments of lakes and Aufwuchs-covered stones (Epler et al. 2013).

title: Forms and functions of second person plural forms in world Englishes
title: A corpus-based Study

description: The present work is a corpus-based research on the plural forms of the second person pronoun you (2PL forms henceforth) which focuses on the similarities and differences among twenty varieties of English. The corpus (GloWbe) contains 1.9 billion words collected on the web in 2012. The 2PL forms I have analysed are the result of both morphological and analytic strategies of number marking: yous(e), yi(s/z), yus, you guys, you all and y(')all, you two, you three, you four, you ones and y(ou)'uns/yin(s/z), you lot and other you + NP-PL expressions. The aim of my research is provide an empirically informed description of the forms and functions of 2PL forms in contemporary English. This is done by combining the analysis of corpus data with the literature on 2PL forms as well as the relevant theories on language change. The results show that there are two main geographically-related trends in the use of 2PL forms: analytic strategies are preferred in the US, whereas morphological strategies are preferred in the European and Australian varieties of English. As far as the uses are concerned, 2PL forms were observed to perform other functions besides number-marking: they can work as possessive determiners and pronouns, singularreference emphatic markers, and attention-getting devices. The reanalysis of 2PL forms into markers of possession, the semantic bleaching evident in singular-reference 2PL forms, and the instances of phonological reduction observed in the forms y(‘)all and yin(s/z)) are seen as clues to on-going processes of grammaticalization. On the other hand, the significant involvement of 2PL forms in pragmatically charged contexts (mainly expressing emphasis and politeness) and the similarity of some attentiongetting 2PL forms to pragmatic markers are seen as clues to the pragmaticalization of 2PL forms. On a theoretical level, 2PL forms offer some insight on the processes of grammaticalization, pragmaticalization and intersubjectification. In particular, an alternative view of intersubjectification as a sub-process of pragmaticalization is proposed. Pragmaticalization, in turn, is seen as a distinct, independent process from grammaticalization. The linguistic evolution of 2PL forms is also described from the 4 perspective of constructionalization (Traugott and Trousdale 2014), which solves the issues related to the definition of the boundaries between grammaticalization, pragmaticalization and intersubjectification. Finally, the strong pragmatic character observed of singular-reference suffixed 2PL forms is used to support the theory of morphopragmatics (Dressler and Barbaresi 2015, 2017).

The conformal dimension of boundary operators inserted between two JS boundaries of different weight is derived from the matrix model description. Our results are in agreement with the regular lattice findings. A connection is made between the loop equations in the continuum limit and the shift relations of boundary Liouville 3-points functions obtained from Boundary Ground Ring approach.

description: With the goal of providing constraints on the nature of the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae, we compare their radial distribution within their spiral host galaxies with the distributions of stars and ionized gas in the spiral disks. The normalized radial distribution of all CCSNe is consistent with an exponential law, with a possible depletion of CCSNe within one-fifth of the isophotal radius. The scale length of the distribution of type II SNe appears to be significantly larger than that of the stellar disks of their host galaxies, but consistent with the scale lengths of Freeman disks. SNe Ib/c have a significantly smaller scale length than SNe II, with little difference between types Ib and Ic. The radial distribution of type Ib/c SNe is more centrally concentrated than that of the stars in a Freeman disk, but is similar to the stellar disk distribution that we infer for the host galaxies. The scale length of the CCSN radial distribution shows no significant correlation with the host galaxy morphological type, or the presence of bars. However, low luminosity as well as inclined hosts have a less concentrated distribution of CCSNe, which are probably a consequence of metallicity and selection effects, respectively. The exponential distribution of CCSNe shows a scale length consistent with that of the ionized gas confirming the generally accepted hypothesis that the progenitors of these SNe are young massive stars. Given the lack of correlation of the normalized radial distances of CCSNe with the morphological type of the host galaxy, we conclude that the more concentrated distribution of SNe Ib/c relative to SNe II must arise from the higher metallicity of their progenitors or possibly from a shallower initial mass function in the inner regions of spirals.

description: Aims: We want to place stronger lower limits on the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) brightness at 24, 70 and 160 um and measure the extragalactic number counts at these wavelengths in an homogeneous way from various surveys. Methods: Using Spitzer legacy data over 53.6 deg^2 of various depths, we build catalogs with the same extraction method at each wavelength. [...] Number count uncertainties are estimated with a counts-in-cells moment method, in order to take into account galaxy clustering. Furthermore, we use a stacking analysis to estimate number counts of sources not detected at 70 and 160 um. [...] Results: Number counts reach 35 muJy (resp. 3.5 mJy and 40 mJy) at 24 um (resp. 70 and 160um). We reach deeper flux densities of 0.38 mJy at 70 and 3.1 at 160 um using a stacking analysis. [...] Conclusions: These counts are integrated to estimate new CIB firm lower limits of 2.21-0.09+0.09 nW.m^-2.sr^-1 (resp. 5.2-0.4+0.4 and 9.0-1.1+1.1 nW.m^-2.sr^-1) at 24 um (resp. 70 and 160 um), and extrapolated to give new estimates of the CIB due to galaxies of 2.78-0.16+0.18 nW.m^-2.sr^-1 (resp. 6.4-0.6+0.7 and 14.6-2.9+7.1 nW.m^-2.sr^-1).

Using DNA to explore predator diet in temperate marine ecosystems
Creators: name: Redd, KS
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis describes the utility of molecular techniques to detect and identify predator/prey interactions in temperate marine ecosystems with an emphasis on the southern rock lobster, (Jasus edwardsii) in Tasmania. A range of DNA-based methods are developed and implemented to better understand the role of this important benthic predator in shaping reef communities. The design and testing of numerous general and species-specific PCR primers is detailed and the utility of these PCR-based assays for monitoring trophic interactions is explored. Captive feeding experiments examine the efficacy of single-species-specific prey detection assays for detection of predation by southern rock lobsters (Jasus edwardsii), and also determine the longevity of the DNA signal and the possibility of quantitative PCR to infer the relative amount of prey consumed by these decapod crustaceans. Based upon these results, the molecular methodologies were tested in a large scale manipulative field experiment to investigate the predation capacity of southern rock lobsters on sea urchins (Centrostephanus rodgersii and Heliocidaris erythrogramma) to understand the shaping of benthic habitats via rock lobster predation in the wild. The results of the dietary component of this experiment are presented and the implications for management are explored briefly. To understand the role of Jasus edwardsii in the marine environment, a broad scale molecular prey inventory approach was used to determine the overall diet of southern rock lobsters both spatially at fished and unfished locations and temporally at sites over several years in Tasmania by using molecular cloning and the use of the 454 Next Generation / pyrosequencing platform. The results of these southern rock lobster prey inventories are presented as well as several other examples of situations with other marine animals using related applications of molecular dietary methods where prey information is difficult to obtain (cephalopods) or is problematic due to the challenges of capturing predators (elasmobranchs). Also provided is a critical review of the utility of molecular prey detection in examining the diet of marine crustaceans, cephalopods and chondrychthians and the thesis concludes by summarising the benefits and pitfalls in using DNA-based dietary methods to address both specific predator-prey issues and more general broad scale trophic webs.

description: Context: Risk factors for adverse cardiovascular events (ACVE) from drug exposures have been well-characterized in adults but not studied in children. The objective of the present study is to describe the incidence, characteristics, and risk factors for in-hospital ACVEs among pediatric emergency department (ED) patients with acute drug exposures. Methods: This is a prospective cohort design evaluating patients in the Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) Registry. Pediatric patients (age <18 years) who were evaluated at the bedside by a medical toxicologist for a suspected acute drug exposure were included. The primary outcome was in-hospital ACVE (myocardial injury, shock, ventricular dysrhythmia, or cardiac arrest). The secondary outcome was in-hospital death. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to examine novel clinical risk factors and extrapolate adult risk factors (bicarbonate <20 mEq/L; QTc ≥500 ms), for the primary/secondary outcomes. Results: Among the 13,097 patients (58.5% female), there were 278 in-hospital ACVEs (2.1%) and 39 in-hospital deaths (0.3%). Age and drug class of exposure (specifically opioids and cardiovascular drugs) were independently associated with ACVE. Compared with adolescents, children under 2 years old (OR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.21–0.80), ages 2–6 (OR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.21–0.80), and ages 7–12 (OR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.27–0.95) were significantly less likely to experience an ACVE. Serum bicarbonate concentration <20 mEq/L (OR: 2.31, 95% CI: 1.48–3.60) and QTc ≥ 500 ms (OR: 2.83, 95% CI: 1.67–4.79) were independently associated with ACVE. Conclusion: Previously derived clinical predictors of ACVE from an adult drug overdose population were successfully extrapolated to this pediatric population. Novel associations with ACVE and death included adolescent age and opioid drug exposures. In the midst of the opioid crisis, these findings urgently warrant further investigation to combat adolescent opioid overdose morbidity and mortality.

description: Paratendipes Kieffer, 1911
Paratendipes albimanus (Meigen, 1818) is the only species of Paratendipes known from Alaska and is a new faunistic record for the state. We collected an adult male from the Yukon River delta, pupae and larvae of this species from Lake Kathleen on Admiralty Island in early August, larvae from Klakas and Summit Lakes on Prince of Wales Island, and a larva from the East Fork of the Moose River on the Kenai Peninsula. Bowser et al. (2020) found an unknown larvae of Paratendipes from the Miller Creek watershed on the Kenai Peninsula. P. albimanus is widely distributed in the Holarctic, inhabiting a wide variety of freshwaters, including pools, ponds, lakes, upland, and lowland rivers (Tokeshi 1995).

description: In analogy to gas-dynamical detonation waves, which consist of a shock with an attached exothermic reaction zone, we consider herein nonlinear traveling wave solutions, termed "jamitons," to the hyperbolic ("inviscid") continuum traffic equations. Generic existence criteria are examined in the context of the Lax entropy conditions. Our analysis naturally precludes traveling wave solutions for which the shocks travel downstream more rapidly than individual vehicles. Consistent with recent experimental observations from a periodic roadway (Sugiyama et al., New Journal of Physics, 10, 2008), our numerical calculations show that, under appropriate road conditions, jamitons are attracting solutions, with the time evolution of the system converging towards a jamiton-dominated configuration. Jamitons are characterized by a sharp increase in density over a relatively compact section of the roadway. Applications of our analysis to traffic modeling and control are examined by way of a detailed example.

description: An isolated HI cloud with peculiar properties has recently been discovered by Dedes, Dedes, & Kalberla (2008, A&A, 491, L45) with the 300-m Arecibo telescope, and subsequently imaged with the VLA. It has an angular size of ~6', and the HI emission has a narrow line profile of width ~ 3 km/s. We explore the possibility that this cloud could be associated with a circumstellar envelope ejected by an evolved star. Observations were made in the rotational lines of CO with the IRAM-30m telescope, on three positions in the cloud, and a total-power mapping in the HI line was obtained with the Nancay Radio Telescope. CO was not detected and seems too underabundant in this cloud to be a classical late-type star circumstellar envelope. On the other hand, the HI emission is compatible with the detached-shell model that we developed for representing the external environments of AGB stars. We propose that this cloud could be a fossil circumstellar shell left over from a system that is now in a post-planetary-nebula phase. Nevertheless, we cannot rule out that it is a Galactic cloud or a member of the Local Group, although the narrow line profile would be atypical in both cases.

description: Fission-fragment properties have been calculated for thermal neutron-induced fission on a $^{239}\textrm{Pu}$ target, using constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations with a finite-range effective interaction. A quantitative criterion based on the interaction energy between the nascent fragments is introduced to define the scission configurations. The validity of this criterion is benchmarked against experimental measurements of the kinetic energies and of multiplicities of neutrons emitted by the fragments.

Predictors of the wife's involvement in farm decision making
Creators: name: Sawer, Barbara Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study investigates the farm wife's role in decision- making related directly to the farm business. Specifically examined are predictor variables hypothesized to be associated with the extent of the wife's involvement in decisions concerning the general management of the farm enterprise and decisions leading to the adoption of agricultural innovations• The respondents were sixty-seven wives of commercial strawberry growers living in British Columbia's Fraser Valley. Data were collected in personal interviews and analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation, one-way analyses of variance followed by Duncan's New Multiple Range Tests, and factor analysis by the principal component method. Focusing on directional hypotheses derived from the literature, the analysis yielded the following findings with parallel patterns of relationships emerging for involvement in both types of decisions studied! 1. Wives who seek information about farm matters are also likely to participate in decisions about those matters, although contact with the Agricultural Extension Service, considered as a specific type of information-seeking activity, does not appear to be associated with decision-making involvement. 2. Wives who participate in farm tasks also tend to participate in farm decisions. 3. Income and farm size are negatively associated with the wife's involvement in farm decisions, although other indicators of socioeconomic status such as age, education, and social participation do not appear to affect her participation. k. The number of children in the family is negatively related to the wife's participation in farm decision-making. 5. The husband's acceptance of agricultural innovations is not associated with his wife's involvement in decisions about those innovations or about farm matters in general. Three independent factors—labeled Wife's Business Partner Role. Age, and Socioeconomic Status—were reflected in the interrelationships among all variables. Defining the Wife's Business Partner Role were positively intercorrelated variables relating to the wife's involvement in general farm decision-making, adoption decision-making, information-seeking, and farm tasks. Interpretation of the findings focuses on behaviors associated with the extent of the wife's decision-making activity, and how resources such as money, time, energy, and skills may affect her emphasis on a business partner role. Implications for educational program planning are discussed by considering existing family decision-making patterns as frameworks for the diffusion of agricultural information.
Fluctuation relations in non-equilibrium stationary states of Ising models

description: Fluctuation relations for the entropy production in non equilibrium stationary states of Ising models are investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. Systems in contact with heat baths at two different temperatures or subject to external driving will be studied. In the first case, by considering different kinetic rules and couplings with the baths, the behavior of the probability distributions of the heat exchanged in a time $τ$ with the thermostats, both in the disordered and in the low temperature phase, are discussed. The fluctuation relation is always verified in the large $τ$ limit and deviations from linear response theory are observed. Finite-$τ$ corrections are shown to obey a scaling behavior. In the other case the system is in contact with a single heat bath but work is done by shearing it. Also for this system the statistics collected for the mechanical work shows the validity of the fluctuation relation and preasymptotic corrections behave analogously to the case with two baths.

description: The construction of unitary operator bases in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is reviewed through a nonstandard approach combinining angular momentum theory and representation theory of SU(2). A single formula for the bases is obtained from a polar decomposition of SU(2) and analysed in terms of cyclic groups, quadratic Fourier transforms, Hadamard matrices and generalized Gauss sums. Weyl pairs, generalized Pauli operators and their application to the unitary group and the Pauli group naturally arise in this approach.

Thermally-Diven Atmospheric Escape

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Accurately determining escape rates from a planet's atmosphere is critical for determining its evolution. Escape can be driven by upward thermal conduction of energy deposited well below the exobase, as well as by non-thermal processes produced by energy deposited in the exobase region. Recent applications of a model for escape driven by upward thermal conduction, called the slow hydrodynamic escape model, have resulted in surprisingly large loss rates for the thick atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Based on a molecular kinetic simulation of the exobase region, these rates appear to be orders of magnitude too large. Because of the large amount of Cassini data already available for Titan's upper atmosphere and the wealth of data expected within the next decade for the atmospheres of Pluto, Mars, and extrasolar planets, accurately determining present escape rates is critical for understanding their evolution. Therefore, the slow hydrodynamic model is evaluated here. It is shown that such a model cannot give a reliable description of the atmospheric temperature profile unless it is coupled to a molecular kinetic description of the exobase region. Therefore, the present escape rates for Titan and Pluto must be re-evaluated using atmospheric models described in this paper.

description: Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)
The ultimate expression of the golf swing is the movement of the club head. Its position and speed at impact will determine the flight of the ball and consequently the performance of the shot. Articles have paid attention to the planarity of the trajectory described by the club head during the Delivery Plane (DP). In this paper, the trajectory described by the club head is presented as a half-circumference contained in a fixed plane. In Morrison et al (2018) it is analysed the first half of the DP, and its consistent planarity is also reaffirmed, but the curve described is an ellipse. The eccentricity of the ellipse grows with the increase of the player’s skill. This paper aims to continue this line of research and introduce the idea of release. It describes the part of the golf swing that happens at the impact zone. Our research aims to carry out a sequential geometric study of the trajectory described by the club head within the impact zone for players of different skills and to compare the results obtained referred to its curvature and torsion. This knowledge could be used to optimise the trajectory of the club head during the swing to enhance the learning process and the performance of the players.
