description: DESCRIPTION OF AMYLOLACTOBACILLUS AMYLOTROPHICUS COMB. NOV.
 Amylolactobacillus amylotrophicus (a.my.lo.tro’phi.cus. Gr. neut. n. amylon starch; N.L. masc. adj. trophicus from Gr. masc. adj. trophikos nursing, tending; N.L. masc. adj. amylotrophicus growing on starch, pertaining to the ability to ferment starch).
 Basonym: Lactobacillus amylotrophicus Naser et al. 2006, 2526 VP.
 The classification of A. amylotrophicus as separate species was disputed as the first published genome sequence of the type strain of A. amylotrophicus was virtually identical to the sequence of A. amylophilus [14, 16]. The 16S rRNA, pheS and rpoA sequences provided with the new description, however, clearly differentiate A. amylotrophicus from A. amylophilus.
 Phenotypic properties that differentiate A. amylotrophicus from A. amylophilus include the production of acid from cellobiose and salicin [112]. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 43.5.
Isolated from corn silage.
 The type strain is LMG 11400 T = DSM 20534 T = JCM 1124 T = NRRL B-4436 T.
Genome sequence accession number: not available at the time of publication.
16S rRNA gene accession number: AM 236149.

description: In the light of the latest measurements on the total $e^+ + e^-$ flux by CALET and DAMPE experiments, we revisit the multicomponent leptonically decaying dark matter (DM) explanations to the cosmic-ray electron/positron excesses observed previously. Especially, we use the single and double-component DM models to explore the compatibility of the AMS-02 positron fraction with the new CALET or DAMPE data. It turns out that neither single nor double-component DM models are able to fit the AMS-02 positron fraction and DAMPE total $e^+ + e^-$ flux data simultaneously. On the other hand, for the combined AMS-02 and CALET dataset, both the single and double-component DM models can provide reasonable fits. If we further take into the diffuse $γ$-ray constraints from Fermi-LAT, only the double-component DM models are allowed.

description: In the Philippines, hazards are treated as “frequent life experiences” where community adaptation is the product of these phenomena. The study sought to answer the four hundred years of significant morphological adaptations to natural disaster (earthquake) and resiliency of the residents in the Walled City. Exploratory research design was used to identify the boundaries of the environment in which the problems, opportunities or situations of interest are likely to reside and to identify the salient factors or variables that might be found and be of relevance to the research. Primary and secondary data were gathered from three (3) historians and libraries within Manila, respectively. The data was analyzed according to the patterns and themes of morphological adaptations and resiliency. The significant morphological adaptations of the Walled City were in line with the Conformity to Architectural Forms, Cultural Evolution and Adaptation according to a Natural Disaster. It represents interplay between architecture, culture and hazards over time. The resiliency of the residents in the Walled City was compared to a bamboo that bends in the wind and bounces back. This study appeals to the government and non-government institutions to preserve and conserve historical buildings in Intramuros because it is a living evidence of morphological adaptation, resiliency and a city that has pattern over time.

description: We investigate the two-point correlations in the band spectra of spatially periodic systems that exhibit chaotic diffusion in the classical limit. By including level pairs pertaining to non-identical quasimomenta, we define form factors with the winding number as a spatial argument. For times smaller than the Heisenberg time, they are related to the full space-time dependence of the classical diffusion propagator. They approach constant asymptotes via a regime, reflecting quantal ballistic motion, where they decay by a factor proportional to the number of unit cells. We derive a universal scaling function for the long-time behaviour. Our results are substantiated by a numerical study of the kicked rotor on a torus and a quasi-one-dimensional billiard chain.

description: We present several improvements to the recently developed ground state preparation algorithm based on the Quantum Eigenvalue Transformation for Unitary Matrices (QETU), apply this algorithm to a lattice formulation of U(1) gauge theory in 2+1D, as well as propose a novel application of QETU, a highly efficient preparation of Gaussian distributions.
 The QETU technique has been originally proposed as an algorithm for nearly-optimal ground state preparation and ground state energy estimation on early fault-tolerant devices. It uses the time-evolution input model, which can potentially overcome the large overall prefactor in the asymptotic gate cost arising in similar algorithms based on the Hamiltonian input model. We present modifications to the original QETU algorithm that significantly reduce the cost for the cases of both exact and Trotterized implementation of the time evolution circuit. We use QETU to prepare the ground state of a U(1) lattice gauge theory in 2 spatial dimensions, explore the dependence of computational resources on the desired precision and system parameters, and discuss the applicability of our results to general lattice gauge theories. We also demonstrate how the QETU technique can be utilized for preparing Gaussian distributions and wave packets in a way which outperforms existing algorithms for as little as $n_q \gtrsim 2-5$ qubits.

description: Abstract:-  Objectives: To retrospectively review data of concussed and non-concussed elite cricket athletes following head impact to describe which clinical features on the day of injury are associated with concussion diagnosis. A secondary aim was to describe the recovery time of concussed athletes. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: This study reviewed five seasons of Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT) data and clinical records for elite male and female cricket athletes who sustained a head impact during a cricket match or training. Results: Data from 30 concussed and 37 non-concussed athletes were compared. Symptoms of ‘don’t feel right’ and ‘feeling slowed down’ had the strongest clinical utility for a concussion diagnosis post head impact. Concussed athletes reported a significantly lower ‘percent of normal’ (median 60%, IQR 60–90%) compared to athletes who sustained a non-concussive head impact (median 99%, IQR 95–100%, p = 0.003). No other component of the SCAT distinguished concussed from non-concussed athletes on day of injury. Concussed athletes typically experienced symptom resolution within 2–8 days and completed a graded return to play protocol within 4–14 days. No differences in SCAT findings or recovery times were observed between genders. Conclusion: The SCAT may be used as a clinical tool to assist in diagnosis of concussionin elite cricket athletes. The components of the SCAT with the greatest clinical utility on day of injury were athlete-reported symptoms and ‘percent of normal’. Concussed cricket athletes typically complete their graded return to play protocol within 14 days however individualised management is paramount.

 Holzapfelia (Holz.ap.fe’li.a. N.L. fem. n. Holzapfelia, named after Wilhelm Holzapfel, a microbiologist and taxonomist who made significant contributions to the understanding of the physiology and applications of lactic acid bacteria).
 Strains of Holzapfelia are Gram positive, rod-shaped, catalase negative, homofermentative and aerotolerant. The type strain of the single species in the genus was isolated from mountain flowers, other strains were identified in bee larvae. H. floricola grows at 15 but not at 37 °C; glucose and fructose are the only carbohydrates that are fermented. The sources of isolation as well as genomic and physiological properties of the organism indicate an insect- and flowerassociated lifestyle of the genus.
 The type species of Holzapfelia is H. floricola.

description: Mirror Symmetry for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties is by now well established. However, previous approaches to it did not uncover the underlying reason for mirror varieties to be mirror. We are able to calculate explicitly vertex algebras that correspond to holomorphic parts of A and B models of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and complete intersections in toric varieties. We establish the relation between these vertex algebras for mirror Calabi-Yau manifolds. This should eventually allow us to rewrite the whole story of toric Mirror Symmetry in the language of sheaves of vertex algebras. Our approach is purely algebraic and involves simple techniques from toric geometry and homological algebra, as well as some basic results of the theory of vertex algebras. Ideas of this paper may also be useful in other problems related to maps from curves to algebraic varieties. This paper could also be of interest to physicists, because it contains explicit descriptions of A and B models of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and complete intersection in terms of free bosons and fermions.

description: Container terminals are an essential component of modern trade through their role in the provision of a temporary storage location for containers arriving from, and destined for, multiple international and domestic locations. Given the growth in container shipping, there is continuing pressure to improve the productivity of terminal operations, not least as a means of helping to ensure that ports maintain their competitiveness in the global arena. However, each container port requires the integrated operation of multiple items of expensive equipment and, thus, improving the efficiency of the resultant scheduling processes is a key goal. This challenge has, inevitably, attracted the prior attention of researchers, particularly those with expertise in optimisation techniques. However, notwithstanding the complexity of the environment and the large number of different items of equipment that are in operation at any time, many proposed solutions adopt a deterministic approach. It is argued that this is, both from a theoretical and a practical perspective, an unrealistic simplification of the reality of the management challenge. The aim of this dissertation is, therefore, to incorporate uncertainty into the analysis of the container terminal environment, with a particular focus on the quay crane scheduling problem (QCSP) and the yard crane scheduling problem (YCSP).

The critical exponents for the distribution of a number of steps ($τ_l$) and visited sites ($τ_s$) characterizing the process of transformation from one recurrent configuration to another are calculated using the finite-size scaling analysis. Two different kinds of dynamical rules are considered. The results of simulations show that both the versions of the model belong to the same class of universality with the critical exponents $τ_l=τ_s=1.75\pm 0.1$.

Hot accretion flow around neutron stars

description: We perform as the first time hydrodynamic simulations to study the properties of hot accretion flow (HAF) around a neutron star (NS). The energy carried by the HAF will eventually be radiated out at the surface of the NS. The emitted photons can propagate inside the HAF and cool the HAF via Comptonization. We find that the Compton cooling can affect the properties of HAF around a NS significantly. We define the Eddington accretion rate as $\dot M_{\rm Edd}=10L_{\rm Edd}/c^2$, with $L_{\rm Edd}$ and $c$ being the Eddington luminosity and the speed of light, respectively. We define $\dot m$ as the mass accretion rate at the NS surface in unit of $\dot M_{\rm Edd}$. When $\dot m > 10^{-4}$, Compton cooling can effectively cool the HAF and suppress wind. Therefore, the mass accretion rate is almost a constant with radius. The density profile is $ρ\propto r^{-1.4}$. When $\dot m < 10^{-4}$, the Compton cooling effects become weaker, wind becomes stronger, accretion rate is proportional to $r^{0.3-0.5}$. Consequently, the density profile becomes flatter, $ρ\propto r^{-1 \sim -0.8}$. When $\dot m < 10^{-6}$, the Compton cooling effects can be neglected. We find that with a same accretion rate, the temperature of HAF around a NS is significantly lower than that of HAF around a black hole (BH). Also, the Compton $y-$parameter of HAF around a NS is significantly smaller than that of HAF around a BH. This result predicts that HAF around a NS will produce a softer spectrum compared to HAF around a BH, which is consistent with observations.

description: This dissertation addresses the emergence and proliferation of plays about convents, a French revolutionary subgenre based on the representation of monastic costume, setting, and characters. In the Old Regime, the theatrical representation of Roman Catholic clerics and garb was prohibited from the public theater. After 1789, however, societal norms surrounding the treatment of religious objects were radically transformed. The collapse of the Old Regime system of censorship and the nationalization of Church property helped trigger a flood of plays that depicted clerics on stage before live audiences. The convent play is perhaps the best example of how the freedom to represent the Roman Catholic clergy impacted dramatic practice of the revolutionary period. Unprecedented on stage prior to 1790, and all but absent from playhouses with the return of censorship in the First Empire, convent plays remained constant if controversial staples of most playhouses during their brief but prolific existence. Despite their differences, farces, dramas, tragedies, comedies, and operettas about convent life constitute, in my view, a single genre. They all combined fictional sources and contemporary events with pre-existing theatrical codes in order to create new, gendered narratives of secularization. Convent plays overwhelmingly ended with a nun's decision to leave the convent in order to marry a patriot. I suggest that this dramatic conclusion was socially and historically specific to the republican gender ideology of the French Revolution. In the face of the ongoing defamation of real-life nuns, their fictional doubles underwent secular conversions in the theaters, and thereby incorporated the sacred pillars of chastity, obedience, and poverty into Republican parables of wifely valor. The convent play, a precursor of romantic theater, both reflected and advanced the new social order outside the playhouse, where civil authority replaced the divine right of kings.

Drawing from the state-of-the-art methods in computer vision, computer graphics, and electrical engineering, it describes the implementation of a low-cost, portable, open-source prototype texture scanning device. It presents the performance of the device through a technical examination of scanned outputs and a human-centered exploration of design opportunities with three expert cases. Finally, it shows the opportunities to augment design processes and to reintroduce material sensibility training, similar to that of the Bauhaus sensory training, through 3D sampling of real texture at a microscale.
Forms of Global Health

description: My dissertation responds to recent calls for a critical medical humanities and a literature of global health by first investigating the function of literature in the development of earlier specialties in international health, with tropical medicine at the turn of the twentieth century as a key example. Scholarship in history and rhetoric of the period has described the formation of modern disciplines as a separation of scientific and literary textual traditions, predicated on the rise of distinct genres for the production of scientific knowledge, namely the scientific article, the case study, and the medical report. These genres were certainly used by key specialists of the tropics to establish a new rhetoric for description and to reduce the role of the imagination when dealing with human and geographic difference. Yet their writing on sub-Saharan Africa continued to signal a disciplinary disorder. Malaria, in particular, demanded the use of scene and figuration for the classification of space, ecologies, diseases and natives--rhetoric derived from literary genres, particularly the travelogue, memoir and novella. The result is a corpus I call malaria literature, one that includes works as disparate as Richard Burton's travel account, First Footsteps in East Africa (1856), Patrick Manson's textbook, Tropical Diseases: Manual of the Diseases of Warm Climates (1898), Joseph Conrad's novella, Heart of Darkness (1899), AR Paterson's pamphlet, A Guide to the Prevention of Malaria in Kenya (1935) and Isak Dinesen's memoir, Out of Africa (1937). I read these five texts as part of an undisciplined library underwriting the construction of a modern medical specialty, and thus illustrate how the positivist turn in Africanist discourse became an incomplete effort to distance medical writing from traditions of poesis. Instead of a rupture between the literary and the scientific, I find a sustained epistemic complicity: a set of persistent knowledge-producing relations between both representational modes, where metaphors for space work with microbial notions of contagion to define disease and shape policy. Reading for such complicity, I argue, recasts tropical medicine as a confluence of scientific and literary traditions. It also complicates contemporary notions of medical literature developed after World War II, the birth of the World Health Organization, decolonization and the emergence of global health, and it enables the field of literary studies to enter into debates about the ethics of public health endeavors from a vantage point unique to the study of representations of disease.

description: The macroscopic interactions of liquid iron and solid oxides, such as alumina, calcia, magnesia, silica, and zirconia manifest the behavior and efficiency of high-temperature metallurgical processes. The oxides serve dual roles, both as components of refractory materials in submerged entry nozzles and also as significant constituents of non-metallic inclusions in the melt. It is therefore crucial to understand the physicochemical interplay between the liquid and the oxides in order to address the nozzle clogging challenges, and thereby optimize cast iron and steel production. This paper presents a methodology for describing these interactions by combining the materials' dielectric responses, computed within the density functional theory, with the Casimir-Lifshitz dispersion forces to generate the Hamaker constants. The approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the wettability of iron against these refractory oxides, revealing the complex relation between molecular and macroscopic properties. Our theoretically determined crystalline structures are confirmed by room-temperature X-ray diffraction, and the contact angles of liquid iron on the oxides are validated with a sessile drop system at the temperature 1823 K. For comparison, we also present the wettability of the oxides by a liquid tin-bismuth alloy. The findings are essential in advancing the fundamental understanding of interfacial interactions in metallurgical science, and are also pivotal in driving the development of more efficient and reliable steelmaking processes.

description: Elderly people are recognised as the fastest growing population globally (Lutz, Sanderson, & Scherbov, 2008). Although older age can be a time of increased affluence for some, it is also linked with challenges related to health issues and costs, aged-care requirements and the relinquishing of long held responsibilities and freedoms (Bongaarts, 2004; Borsch Supan, 2003). These trends are evident in Korea, which has one of the fastest growing elderly populations as well as a higher percentage of the elderly in rural areas, compared to urban settings. Despite the Korean government’s efforts to enhance quality of life and wellbeing for the older population, existing government policies appear to have a limited capacity to cope with the rapidly increasing aged population and the context-specific needs of the elderly in rural and urban settings. One way to enhance current policies is by developing a comprehensive model of successful ageing. This is one of the most effective strategies to understand the health needs of the elderly. Among various successful ageing models, the one developed by Rowe and Kahn (1987, 1997) is one of the most influential conceptualisations. While this model overcomes previous restrictive biomedical views of ageing, it has some weaknesses, including limited consideration of psychological health and an overemphasis on physiological factors. In this regard, this study adapts this model to include psychological health as one of the dimensions and to test multiple definitions of ageing successfully. This extended model was used with the aim of examining the contributing factors of successful ageing in urban and rural Korean elderly and gaining a more in-depth perspective of how the elderly’s perceptions of ageing differ between these groups.

description: This dissertation explores what images of ghosts in Roman art can reveal about the very limits of representation and the act of seeing itself. My approach differs from that of many previous studies on the supernatural, therefore, in that it ultimately has little to do with the question of whether or not the ancients were truly convinced that ghosts exist. While not discounting the importance of belief, I am interested rather in how modalities of belief (or unbelief) developed within a prescribed framework of possibilities--particularly with regard to the historical transformation of ideas about the nature of vision and representation--in which images played a crucial role. While much work has been done on aspects of death that touch upon the supernatural in discrete areas of research on folklore, magic, religion, or theater, for example, the ghost itself has never been the focus of a synthetic study in Roman art. This project is therefore intended to cut across these discussions to arrive at a more rounded picture of how the Romans went on living with the dead.

description: Xenon implantation into nanodiamonds is studied using molecular dynamics. The nanodiamonds range in size from 2-10 nm and the primary knock-on (PKA) energy extends up to 40 keV. For small nanodiamonds an energy-window effect occurs in which PKA energies of around 6 keV destroy the nanodiamond, while in larger nanodiamonds the radiation cascade is increasingly similar to those in bulk material. Destruction of the small nanodiamonds occurs due to thermal annealing associated with the small size of the particles and the absence of a heat-loss path. Simulations are also performed for a range of impact parameters, and for a series of double-nanodiamond systems in which a heat-loss path is present. The latter show that the thermal shock caused by the impact occurs on the timescale of a few picoseconds. These findings are relevant to ion-beam modification of nanoparticles by noble gases as well as meteoritic studies where implantation is proposed as the mechanism for xenon incorporation in pre-solar nanodiamonds.

Furthermore and surprisingly, the families F and F' are shown to be related to the stationary KdV hierarchy. Hence, the "harmless" Hamiltonian H connects different mathematical objects, high order Lie symmetry, realization of so(2,1)-spectrum generating algebra and families of nonlinear differential equations. We describe in a physical context the interplay between these objects.

description: Parallel robots based on Handed Shearing Auxetics (HSAs) can implement complex motions using standard electric motors while maintaining the complete softness of the structure, thanks to specifically designed architected metamaterials. However, their control is especially challenging due to varying and coupled stiffness, shearing, non-affine terms in the actuation model, and underactuation. In this paper, we present a model-based control strategy for planar HSA robots enabling regulation in task space. We formulate equations of motion, show that they admit a collocated form, and design a P-satI-D feedback controller with compensation for elastic and gravitational forces. We experimentally identify and verify the proposed control strategy in closed loop.

description: We establish a $q$-analog of our recent work on vertex representations and the McKay correspondence. For each finite group $Γ$ we construct a Fock space and associated vertex operators in terms of wreath products of $Γ\times \mathbb C^{\times}$ and the symmetric groups. An important special case is obtained when $Γ$ is a finite subgroup of $SU_2$, where our construction yields a group theoretic realization of the representations of the quantum affine and quantum toroidal algebras of $ADE$ type.

Revisiting the two-zero texture Majorana neutrino mass matrix

description: It has long been pointed out that there are seven different two-zero texture neutrino mass matrices compatible with neutrino oscillation data. We perform an updated analysis with the recently published Nu-Fit 6.0 results. We also subject the seven two-zero textures to constraints on neutrino mass from cosmology, end point of beta decay spectrum, and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. We find that all seven textures are compatible with the new oscillation parameters. However, we find five textures, whose 1-1 entry is nonvanishing, are in severe tension with the constraints from cosmology and neutrinoless double beta decay. With the next generation experiments, these five textures could be decisively ruled out. For the remaining two textures, one of them could be ruled out, or severely constrained, if the octant of $θ_{23}$ is determined.

description: Using the standard concepts of free random variables, we show that for a large class of nonhermitean random matrix models, the support of the eigenvalue distribution follows from their hermitean analogs using a conformal transformation. We also extend the concepts of free random variables to the class of nonhermitean matrices, and apply them to the models discussed by Ginibre-Girko (elliptic ensemble) and Mahaux-Weidenmüller (chaotic resonance scattering).

A direct link between the quantum-mechanical and semiclassical determination of scattering resonances

description: We investigate the scattering of a point particle from n non-overlapping, disconnected hard disks which are fixed in the two-dimensional plane and study the connection between the spectral properties of the quantum-mechanical scattering matrix and its semiclassical equivalent based on the semiclassical zeta function of Gutzwiller and Voros. We rewrite the determinant of the scattering matrix in such a way that it separates into the product of n determinants of 1-disk scattering matrices - representing the incoherent part of the scattering from the n disk system - and the ratio of two mutually complex conjugate determinants of the genuine multi-scattering kernel, M, which is of Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker-type and represents the coherent multi-disk aspect of the n-disk scattering. Our result is well-defined at every step of the calculation, as the on-shell T-matrix and the kernel M-1 are shown to be trace-class. We stress that the cumulant expansion (which defines the determinant over an infinite, but trace class matrix) imposes the curvature regularization scheme to the Gutzwiller-Voros zeta function and thus leads to a new, well-defined and direct derivation of the semiclassical spectral function. We show that unitarity is preserved even at the semiclassical level.

description: The Gene-pool Optimal Mixing Evolutionary Algorithm (GOMEA) is a model-based EA framework that has been shown to perform well in several domains, including Genetic Programming (GP). Differently from traditional EAs where variation acts blindly, GOMEA learns a model of interdependencies within the genotype, i.e., the linkage, to estimate what patterns to propagate. In this article, we study the role of Linkage Learning (LL) performed by GOMEA in Symbolic Regression (SR). We show that the non-uniformity in the distribution of the genotype in GP populations negatively biases LL, and propose a method to correct for this. We also propose approaches to improve LL when ephemeral random constants are used. Furthermore, we adapt a scheme of interleaving runs to alleviate the burden of tuning the population size, a crucial parameter for LL, to SR. We run experiments on 10 real-world datasets, enforcing a strict limitation on solution size, to enable interpretability. We find that the new LL method outperforms the standard one, and that GOMEA outperforms both traditional and semantic GP. We also find that the small solutions evolved by GOMEA are competitive with tuned decision trees, making GOMEA a promising new approach to SR.

description: Healthcare simulation is a teaching strategy rooted in cognitive, constructivist, and social learning theories. Simulation–based learning experiences offer a replacement for traditional clinical learning and are widely used across all levels of nursing education. Most simulation activities are focused on student application of cognitive knowledge to clinical situations or practicing psychomotor skills, with little attention paid to student development of core nursing values such as caring and compassion. In fact, few studies have empirically assessed the usefulness of simulation for helping student nurses develop affective characteristics such as empathy. A quasi–experimental control group study was conducted to evaluate affective learning in student nurses during a simulated clinical activity. Students randomized to the treatment condition watched a lesson on the importance of empathy as a professional nursing value along with a vignette in which an actor playing the simulated patient shared a narrative story that detailed aspects of his social, emotional, and physical well–being. Subjects who received the intervention had a greater and statistically significant increase in empathy score than those in the control condition. Students exposed to the intervention also had higher observed empathy scores, but differences between groups were not statistically significant. Since narratives can be useful for helping health profession students understand patient perspectives on their health and well–being, the concept of narrative transportation (i.e., immersion in narrative accounts or stories) was used to assess student engagement in the simulated learning activity. Students in the treatment condition had higher but non–statistically significant engagement scores in response to the intervention. Last, associations between empathy, emotional intelligence, and nursing competence were assessed. Positive and statistically significant relationships between empathy and emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence and nursing competence, and empathy and nursing competence were observed. Further analysis indicated that emotional intelligence partially mediated the relationship between empathy and nursing competence in this sample. The findings of this study demonstrated that patient narratives were useful for facilitating affective learning during simulated clinical activities. The observed results also provide insight on the relationship between affective characteristics and competency development in student nurses.
