description: A (d-parameter) basic nilsequence is a sequence of the form ψ(n)=f(a^{n}x), n \in Z^{d}, where x is a point of a compact nilmanifold X, a is a translation on X, and f is a continuous function on X; a nilsequence is a uniform limit of basic nilsequences. If X is a compact nilmanifold, Y is a subnilmanifold of X, g(n) is a (d-parameter) polynomial sequence of translations of X, and f is a continuous function on X, we show that the sequence \int_{g(n)Y}f is the sum of a basic nilsequence and a sequence that converges to zero in uniform density (a null-sequence). We also show that an integral of a family of nilsequences is a nilsequence plus a null-sequence. We deduce that for any invertible finite measure preserving system (W,μ,T), integer polynomials p_{1},...,p_{k} on Z^{d}, and measurable sets A_{1},...,A_{k} in W, the sequence μ(T^{p_{1}(n)}A_{1}\cap...\cap T^{p_{k}(n)}A_{k}), n\in Z^{d}, is the sum of a nilsequence and a null-sequence.
Oil sands process water and tailings pond contaminant transport and fate : physical, chemical and biological processes

description: The Alberta Oil Sands development has been in operation since the 1960s, where innovations in technology in bitumen extraction have resulted in adaptive management of environmental sensitivities to Oil Sands Process-affected Water (OSPW) and tailings. This research assessed all the potential processes that OSPW constituents might undergo in the tailings impoundments in order to theorize on their ultimate fate. A conceptual tailing pond model was created, the first of its kind as there have been no attempts in the existing literature, and a tool for future management of these facilities. The development of a model is quite complex where the objectives are defined (e.g. OSPW constituents) and the various physical, chemical, biological, geochemical, hydrological and limnological processes involved. This research was conducted by one individual, while such integration and analysis would typically be tackled by a team of multidisciplinary experts. The scope of this research included the OSPW produced from oil sands open-pit mining, extraction and processing of bitumen. The crushing of ore and chemical additives affect water chemistry through the release of ions, salts, metals and organic compounds. Oil sands mines generate process affected water high in contaminants and the high degree of water recycling further concentrates these substances. The spatial and geological focus comprised the Athabasca ore deposit, with special attention on the Fort McMurray area and particular examination of the Mildred Lake Settling basin. A thorough literature review was conducted where the data and concepts from various scientific sources were utilized as a basis in the creation of a Tailings Pond Model, to conceptualize the physical, chemical and biological processes within a typical tailings settling basin. All further refinement and upgrading of the bitumen, processing of coke or other by-products were out of scope. Technological innovations in bitumen extraction and assisted tailings consolidation have resulted in more complex constituent compositions. The physical, chemical and biological processes occurring within a tailings pond are multifaceted making it difficult to model the ultimate fates of various substances. Chemical oxidation and bacterial decomposition have been shown to decrease toxicity of certain contaminants of greater concern.

description: This article provides an overview of 20th century Syrian/Lebanese literature on the Great War. It argues that the primary focus of this literature is on the famine that decimated the civilian population of the region during the war. It suggests that the impact of the devastation on everyday life helps to explain the language, genres, and tropes used by 20th century authors, particularly of non-narrative genres such as poetry and ''zajal'' (vernacular poetry).

description: A point $z$ in the Julia set of a polynomial $p$ is called biaccessible if two dynamic rays land at $z$; a point $z$ in the Mandelbrot set is called biaccessible if two parameter rays land at $z$. In both cases, we say that the external angles of these two rays are biaccessible as well. In this paper we give upper and lower bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of biaccessible external angles of quadratic polynomials, both in the dynamical and parameter space. In particular, explicitly describe those quadratic polynomials where this dimension equals 1 (if and only if the Julia set is an interval), and when it equals 0, namely, at finite direct bifurcations from the polynomial $z^2$, as well as limit points thereof.

description: We present 90, 140, and 268GHz sub-arcminute resolution imaging of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) in MACSJ0717.5+3745. Our 90GHz SZE data result in a sensitive, 34uJy/bm map at 13" resolution using MUSTANG. Our 140 and 268GHz SZE imaging, with resolutions of 58" and 31" and sensitivities of 1.8 and 3.3mJy/beam respectively, was obtained using Bolocam. We compare these maps to a 2-dimensional pressure map derived from Chandra X-ray observations. Our MUSTANG data confirm previous indications from Chandra of a pressure enhancement due to shock-heated, >20keV gas immediately adjacent to extended radio emission seen in low-frequency radio maps. The MUSTANG data also detect pressure substructure that is not well-constrained by the X-ray data in the remnant core of a merging subcluster. We find that the small-scale pressure enhancements in the MUSTANG data amount to ~2% of the total pressure measured in the 140GHz Bolocam observations. The X-ray template also fails on larger scales to accurately describe the Bolocam data, particularly at the location of a subcluster known to have a high line of sight optical velocity (~3200km/s). Our Bolocam data are adequately described when we add an additional component - not described by a thermal SZE spectrum - coincident with this subcluster. Using flux densities extracted from our model fits, and marginalizing over the temperature constraints for the region, we fit a thermal+kinetic SZE spectrum to our data and find the subcluster has a best-fit line of sight proper velocity of 3600+3440/-2160km/s. This agrees with the optical velocity estimates for the subcluster. The probability of velocity<0 given our measurements is 2.1%. Repeating this analysis using flux densities measured non-parametrically results in a 3.4% probability of a velocity<=0. We note that this tantalizing result for the kinetic SZE is on resolved, subcluster scales.

1D Three-state mean-field Potts model with first- and second-order phase transitions

description: We analyze a three-state Potts model built over a lattice ring, with coupling $J_0$, and the fully connected graph, with coupling $J$. This model is effectively mean-field and can be exactly solved by using transfer-matrix method and Cardano formula. When $J$ and $J_0$ are both ferromagnetic, the model has a first-order phase transition which turns out to be a smooth modification of the known phase transition of the traditional mean-field Potts model ($J_0=0$), despite, as we prove, the connected correlation functions are now non zero, even in the paramagnetic phase. Furthermore, besides the first-order transition, there exists also a hidden continuous transition at a temperature below which the symmetric metastable state ceases to exist. When $J$ is ferromagnetic and $J_0$ antiferromagnetic, a similar antiferromagnetic counterpart phase transition scenario applies. Quite interestingly, differently from the Ising-like two-state case, for large values of the antiferromagnetic coupling $J_0$, the critical temperature of the system tends to a finite value.

description: In this work, a goodness-of-fit test for the null hypothesis of a functional linear model with scalar response is proposed. The test is based on a generalization to the functional framework of a previous one, designed for the goodness-of-fit of regression models with multivariate covariates using random projections. The test statistic is easy to compute using geometrical and matrix arguments, and simple to calibrate in its distribution by a wild bootstrap on the residuals. The finite sample properties of the test are illustrated by a simulation study for several types of basis and under different alternatives. Finally, the test is applied to two datasets for checking the assumption of the functional linear model and a graphical tool is introduced. Supplementary materials are available online.

description: This paper proposes the optimized controller tuning for a real time coupled spherical tank process used in various process industries like chemical industries, waste water treatment plant, petrochemical industries, etc. In all process industries spherical tank process plays a vital role in each stages of the process. Spherical Tank has a uniformly stressed strong and complex structure used in various process industries. The varying diameter of Spherical Tank makes the process complicated and becomes a nonlinear system; this nonlinearity can be overcome by including the optimized tuning of a PID controller. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) provides better results for process industries in-terms of easy storage, complete maintenance free operation, effective cleaning, and high stability output. The effectiveness of the Spherical Tank Process used in process industries is analysed based on optimized controller tuning and the performance is verified using the error criteria and by the time domain analysis. The optimized PSO tuning method provides enhanced time domain specifications, smooth response curve and minimized error compared to other controller tuning methods. The results are analysed using Matlab software.
Physical determinants of physical activity in children who have completed treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Creators: name: Hung, Stanley Hughwa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: INTRODUCTION: Physical activity (PA) levels in children who have completed treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have been shown to be lower than their healthy peers. Obesity and related health concerns have been recognized as long-term side-effect of cancer treatment. Motor performance and physical function have been shown to be lower in these children compared with children who have not had a cancer diagnosis. Whether or not these two physical factors are related to PA levels in these children is unknown. PURPOSE: To determine if motor performance and physical function are associated with PA in children who have completed treatment for ALL. METHODS: PA was measured using the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C); motor performance was measured using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition, Short Form (BOT-2 SF); and physical function was measured using the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). RESULTS: Thirteen participants were recruited. PAQ-C scores were not related to standardized scores from the BOT-2 SF (Spearman’s rho, rs = 0.282, p = 0.35) and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) (rs = -0.429, p = 0.14) and 6MWD Standard Deviation Score (SDS) (rs = -0.094, p = 0.76). Only 1/13 participants performed below average in the BOT-2 SF, and 11/13 participants walked shorter distances compared with published data from healthy children in the 6MWT (mean 6MWD SDS: -1.62). Body mass index SDS were significantly associated with measured 6MWD (rs = 0.602, p = 0.03) and 6MWD SDS (rs = -0.691 p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: PA was not associated with motor performance or physical function. Physical function was poorer compared with healthy children in 11/13 participants. Healthcare professionals can focus on improving physical function and improving weight management to help reduce risk of obesity and associated health consequences in children who have completed treatment for ALL. Future research should include a larger sample size and include psychosocial factors, such as self-efficacy and parental influence, in exploring factors related to PA childhood ALL survivors.

description: From an extended relativistic dynamics for a particle moving in a cosmic background field with temperature T, we aim to obtain the speed of light with an explicit dependence on the background temperature of the universe. Although finding the speed of light in the early universe much larger than its current value, our approach does not violate the postulate of special relativity. Moreover, it is shown that the high value of the speed of light in the early universe was drastically decreased before the beginning of the inflationary period. So we are led to conclude that the theory of varying speed of light should be questioned as a possible solution of the horizon problem.

Entanglement and Quantum Nonlocality Demystified

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quantum nonlocality is presented often as the most remarkable and inexplicable phenomenon known to modern science which was confirmed in the experiments proving the violation of Bell Inequalities (BI). It has been known already for a long time that the probabilistic models used to prove BI for spin polarization correlation experiments (SPCE) are incompatible with the experimental protocols of SPCE. In particular these models use a common probability space together with joint probability distributions for various incompatible coincidence experiments and/or conditional independence (Bell's locality). Strangely enough these results are not known or simply neglected. Therefore so called Bell's or quantum nonlocality has nothing to do with the common notion of the non-locality and it should be rather called quantum non-Kolmogorovness or quantum contextuality. We quickly explain the true meaning of various Bell's locality assumptions and show that if local variables describing the measuring instruments are correctly taken into consideration then BI can no longer be proven. Of course we do not question the usefulness of the long range correlations characterizing the entangled physical systems in the domain of Quantum Information. However one should not forget that the anti-correlations cannot be perfect, that the wave function should not be treated as an attribute of the individual quantum system which can be change instantaneously and that the unperformed experiments have no results.
description: It is an important update of the published paper. We explain that the inequality (11), violated in collision experiments, is not Bell inequality, as it was claimed. We add Eq.12 and the reference to the recent paper [66] in which the detailed and correct discussion of these experiments is given. All other arguments remain unchanged

description: We construct the equations for the growth kinetics of an aging structural glass within mode-coupling theory through a non-stationary variant of the 3-density correlator defined in Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 97}, 195701 (2006). We solve a schematic form of the resulting equations to obtain the coarsening of the dynamic heterogeneity, characterized via the 3-point correlator $χ_3(t,t_w)$, as a function of waiting time $t_w$. For a quench into the glass, we find that $χ_3$ attains a peak value $\sim t_w^{0.5}$ at $t -t_w \sim t_w^{0.8}$, providing a theoretical basis for the numerical observations of Parisi [J. Phys. Chem. B \textbf{103}, 4128 (1999)] and Kob and Barrat [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{78}, 4581 (1997)]. The aging is not "simple": the $t_w$ dependence cannot be attributed to an evolving effective temperature.

A proof of the Geroch-Horowitz-Penrose formulation of the strong cosmic censor conjecture motivated by computability theory

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In this paper we present a proof of a mathematical version of the strong cosmic censor conjecture attributed to Geroch-Horowitz and Penrose but formulated explicitly by Wald. The proof is based on the existence of future-inextendible causal curves in causal pasts of events on the future Cauchy horizon in a non-globally hyperbolic space-time. By examining explicit non-globally hyperbolic space-times we find that in case of several physically relevant solutions these future-inextendible curves have in fact infinite length. This way we recognize a close relationship between asymptotically flat or anti-de Sitter, physically relevant extendible space-times and the so-called Malament-Hogarth space-times which play a central role in recent investigations in the theory of "gravitational computers". This motivates us to exhibit a more sharp, more geometric formulation of the strong cosmic censor conjecture, namely "all physically relevant, asymptotically flat or anti-de Sitter but non-globally hyperbolic space-times are Malament-Hogarth ones". Our observations may indicate a natural but hidden connection between the strong cosmic censorship scenario and the Church-Turing thesis revealing an unexpected conceptual depth beneath both conjectures.

description: During World War I, the idea of Switzerland as a peaceful island was created and propagated by many means, for example postcards. After the end of the war, this metaphor gained the status of a myth, when it was linked to the idea of self-chosen neutrality and military-based independence and placed within the country’s so-called humanitarian tradition. Historians integrated this myth into the dominant narrative about Switzerland in World War I, which obscured the huge commercial and services exchange as well as the overwhelming political dependency on foreign powers during the war.

Numerical and experimental investigations of connection for timber-steel hybrid system
Creators: name: Azim, Md Riasat
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: In recent years, hybrid systems have grown in popularity as potential solution for mid-rise construction. There is also an increased interest in using timber for such systems. The lack of established design guidance, however, has tabled the practical implementation of timber-based hybrid structures. The aim of this thesis is to address the existing knowledge gap regarding the detailed connection design of hybrid systems through combined experimental and numerical investigations on a novel timber-steel system called “FFTT”. The FFTT system relies on wall panels of mass timber such as Cross-Laminated-Timber (CLT) for gravity and lateral load resistance and embedded steel beam sections to provide ductility under seismic loading. A vital step towards practical implementation of the FFTT system is to obtain the proof that the connections facilitate the desired ‘strong column – weak beam’ failure mechanism. The numerical work applied the software ANSYS; a parametric study based on the results of previous tests was conducted to obtain a suitable connection configuration for improved structural performance. The experimental work, carried out at FPInnovations, consisted of quasi-static monotonic and reversed cyclic tests on two different connection configurations: fully and partially embedded ASTM wide flange sections in combination with 7 ply CLT panels. The combination of partial embedment length and full embedment depth, even when using the smallest wide flange section, did not facilitate the desired behavior. The connection performance was significantly improved when reducing the embedment depth (to avoid creating stress peaks on a weak cross layer) and increasing the embedment length (larger center to center distance between bearing plates). The used small size steel beam, however, is not practical for a real structure; therefore, further studies with larger beams and a modified geometry are recommended before the FFTT system can be applied in practice.

description: Background: As clinical genetics advances, genetic information accumulates, and this makes recontacting more important. Recontacting entails that health care professionals make new contact with former patients, or vice versa, to discuss new genetic information. A systematic review from 2015 has been published on this topic, but an update is needed. This document is the protocol for an updated, systematic review on recontacting in clinical genetics. Methods: Records which discuss recontacting in clinical genetics are searched from inception until 4 December 2023 in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, and grey literature. Risk of bias assessment is performed with JBI’s critical appraisal tools. The certainty of evidence is assessed with GRADE and GRADE-CERQual. Financial support: No financial support is received for this systematic review.

description: Sustainable energy sources are those that derive from the environment and are renewable. As an alternative to fossil fuels, it is clean. Power outages rise in tandem with rising energy demand. Therefore, constant loads can be supplied by renewable energy sources. This article suggested a system which uses wind energy because it is a very clean source of energy and produces no pollution when in use. The proposed micro wind energy battery storage uses batteries to store energy after it is produced at a cheap cost and maintain power quality. The regulated active and reactive power in the grid is exchanged, and the power quality is maintained, using the suggested micro wind energy conversion system with battery energy storage. The generated micro-wind energy can be harvested in conditions of changing wind speed and stored in the batteries during periods of low energy demand. By injecting or absorbing reactive power, the battery storage system and micro-wind energy generating system (μWEGS) will synthesis the output waveform and enable the true power flow required by the load.  In the event of a grid breakdown, the system can also be used as a stand-alone system with an uninterrupted power source. In order to show the findings, this study deals with the simulation and implementation of DC to DC converters, such as SEPIC converters, in micro wind power generating systems.

description: L'objectif de cette recherche est d'examiner l'influence des déterminants spécifiques de l'investissement sur l'attractivité des collectivités locales au Bénin. Pour atteindre ce but, nous avons adopté une double approche méthodologique dont l'approche qualitative et quantitative. Ainsi, nous nous sommes basés sur un échantillon de cent   élus locaux et cadres communaux qui nous ont fourni les données secondaires, nous avons retenu quatre-vingt-dix-huit (98) élus locaux et cadres communaux après élimination de celles dont nous n'avons pas pu obtenir les données primaires via le questionnaire. Les résultats d'analyse des données permettent de confirmer les hypothèses. Ces résultats montrent que les transferts d'Etat ont un effet positif significatif sur l'attractivité des communes au Bénin (coefficient de régression = 0,575 et t = 10,280 ; p = 0,000) ; les transferts de coopérations décentralisées ont un effet positif significatif sur l'attractivité des communes au Bénin (coefficient de régression = 0,052 et t = 2,150 ; p = 0,04) ; les ressources propres ont un effet positif significatif sur l'attractivité des communes au Bénin.

description: In web application, being a non-quality requirement, usability has been quite a concern for a product to be more successful and efficient for users in the competitive market. User centric design methodology is also based on usability design. Even usability is just a non-functional requirement but usability analysis and design can impact the behavioural requirement of a web application in a great extent. The review and feedback sessions are done during prototype design and sometimes like in agile XP process during the user interface designing step. A web application is built on collection of defined HTML controls and components. Our ultimate goal would be to model a guideline of usability requirements for different web application components based on different characteristics of usability like learnability, efficiency, memorability, error recovery, flexibility. In this paper we have evaluated a composite usability requirements model based on the usability requirement attributes & principals and categorization the web application components based on web application design and interaction context.

description: Les économies des pays en développement sont caractérisées par une présence importante des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME). L'Afrique Subsaharienne (ASS) est une région du monde dont le tissu économique est fortement dominé par les PME. Au Niger, elles représentent 98% des entreprises en activité. Ce qui fait d'elles l'organe moteur de l'économie nigérienne. Désormais, dans ces pays, l'espoir est porté sur les PME, non seulement pour réduire la pauvreté à travers la création de l'emploi et de la richesse mais aussi pour soutenir la croissance. Malheureusement elles ont du mal à se maintenir à flot à cause d'un manque régulier de trésorerie qui restreint leur espérance de vie. Ce travail a pour objectif de comprendre les mécanismes de gouvernance permettant aux PME de réaliser une meilleure performance financière. Pour y arriver nous avons adopté une approche qualitative basée sur un guide d'entretien portant sur 12 PME installées dans le centre urbain de Niamey. Les résultats montrent que la performance financière est perçue par les PME nigérienne comme une évolution du chiffre d'affaires et de la rentabilité. La communication financière, la confiance et le respect mutuel sont les mécanismes de gouvernance sur lesquels elles se focalisent pour accéder à cette performance.
The role of GABA in modulating taste neuron output in Drosophila
Creators: name: Chu, Bonnie

description: The sense of taste plays a critical role in animal behaviour. The ability to taste prior to ingestion allows an animal to differentiate between beneficial substances, such as calorie-rich foods, from those that may be toxic and which often taste bitter. For animals to avoid harmful substances, exposure to bitter substances must not only activate bitter-sensing neurons, but also suppress the response of acceptance-mediating neurons. The ability to choose appropriately between consumption and avoidance requires functional neuronal circuits in the brain that start with the processing of taste input from the environment and end with a behavioural output. γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the insect and mammalian brain. We show evidence of functional connections between GABAergic interneurons (those that release GABA) and taste sensory neurons in the fly brain. Neurons that detect palatable substances (i.e. sugars) express high levels of a metabotropic GABAB receptor (GABABR), whereas those that sense unpalatable substances (i.e. bitter compounds) express little to no GABABR. Using a behavioural assay (proboscis extension reflex) and calcium imaging, I investigated how GABAergic inhibition shapes sweet neuron output and contributes to the integration of competitive taste stimuli. When GABABR is knocked down in sugar neurons, the behavioural response to sugars is elevated. Pharmacological assays show that GABAergic activation suppresses the sweet neuron response while GABAergic blockade potentiates the response. In flies expressing GABABR knockdown, suppression of sugar neuron activity by bitter exposure is relieved both behaviourally, by increased acceptance of bitter mixtures, and cellularly, by increased calcium response. Our model proposes that GABA acts via GABABR in the fly taste circuit to produce ecologically relevant responses to both attractive and repellent energy sources.
title: Comparing the utility of the Theory of Planned Behaviour and the Health Belief Model in understanding and promoting the use of protective helmets among school-age cyclists
Creators: name: Arnold, Laurence
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: The thesis set out to compare the Health Belief Model (Rosenstock, 1966, 1974) and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzenm 1985,1991) in terms of their usefulness in understanding and predicting health behaviour and their ability to guide the construction of effective behaviour change interventions. The models were used to investigate the beliefs associated with the use of protective helmets amongst school-age cyclists in order to design and evaluate an intervention aimed at promoting the use of helmets by students while cycling to and from school. To aid comparison, the Health Belief Model (HBM) included a meausre of behavioural intention mediating between beliefs and behavour. In the first of two prospective studies, the models successfully predicted helmet use amongst a sample of teenager boys while cycling to and from school and identified beliefs discriminating between helmet users and non-users. A second longitudinal study limited the influence of past behaviour by predicting helmet use among secondary school girls and boys from beliefs assessed at junior school before they began cycling to and from school. These studies confirmed the predictive utility of the models and showed the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) superior to the HBM in terms of predictive power, conceptual strengths and sufficiency. The third study used the beliefs identified as most salient by the TPB to inform a persuasive intervention based upon the Elaboration Likelihood Model of Persuasion (Petty and Cacioppo, 1986), intended to promoted the use of helmets. A series of persuasive messages, presented to non-helmeted cyclists, suceeded in promoting positive beliefs and intentions vis a vis helmet use while cycling to and from school and brought about a 25% increase in helmet use. Both effects were sustained over time. This programme of research confirmed the explanatory power of the TPB for predicting health behaviour.
