Typical dreams of falling, being chased, and being paralyzed in Germany from 1956 to 2000
Creators: name: Schredl, Michael
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: Typical dream themes like falling, being chased, and being paralyzed are very common in many different cultures and time epochs and are, therefore, also termed universal. The present analyses included data from 4 independent, representative surveys carried out from 1956 to 2000 in Germany. Overall, 5941 participants reported as to whether they had falling dreams, dreams of being chased or being paralyzed. The most frequent topic was being paralyzed; about 26% of the sample reported this dream theme, followed by falling (18%), and being chased (12%). There were no differences between the studies and between age groups. Solely, a small but significant gender difference was found. The findings indicate the stability of these typical dreams, and future study should focus on their details, e.g., the chasing figures, as these might reflect cultural backgrounds. Moreover, it would be interesting to relate the occurrence of typical dream themes to waking-life emotions in order to test the idea that these dreams are metaphorical and dramatized expressions of emotions experienced in waking life.

 Aglaophenia ramosa Allman, 1877: 39, pl. 23, figs. 1–4 [permanently invalid junior secondary homonym of Aglaophenia ramosa (Busk, 1852); replaced before 1961 by a substitute name in current use (ICZN Art. 59.3)].
 Aglaophenia allmani Nutting, 1900: 100, pl. 22, figs. 2–3 [replacement name for Aglaophenia ramosa Allman, 1877].
 Type locality. USA: Florida, “ Florida reef, from a depth of from 2 to 3 fathoms” (3.7–5.5 m) (Allman 1877: 40, as Aglaophenia ramosa).
 Voucher material. Bethel Shoal off Vero Beach, 27°42.6’N, 80°06.8’W, 24 m, on shell fragments, 18.ii.1976, Johnson-Sea-Link, JSL 328, diver lockout, three cormoids, up to 4.2 cm high, without gonothecae, coll. S. Nelson, ROMIZ B3982.
 Remarks. Fully-developed colonies of Macrorhynchia allmani Nutting, 1900 reach as much as 28 cm high (Calder 1997). Those examined here were much smaller, but they otherwise correspond in morphology with earlier accounts of the species.
 Macrorhynchia allmani resembles the sympatric M. clarkei Nutting, 1900, and the two have sometimes been confused, as noted earlier (Calder 1997). The most obvious difference between them macroscopically is colour, with colonies of M. allmani appearing brownish and those of M. clarkei black. Microscopically, hydrocladial internodes of M. allmani usually have two internal perisarcal ridges while those of M. clarkei have only one. Other differences are reported in remarks on the latter species immediately below.
 Reproductive structures of this species have yet to be described. In their absence, M. allmani is referred to the aglaopheniid genus Macrorhynchia Kirchenpauer 1872 based on trophosomal characters identified by Bogle (1975) and reiterated by Calder (1997). As in that genus, the hydrocaulus is polysiphonic and repeatedly branched, cauline nematothecae are large and triangular, median inferior nematothecae are largely adnate to the abcauline hydrothecal wall, and hydrothecae are of moderate depth. Wedler (2004) described gonophores in a hydroid identified as this species, but in my opinion his specimens are referable to M. furcata (Nutting, 1900) instead. Lateral nematothecae visible in his Fig. 3c are forked, as in that species.
 Reported distribution. Atlantic coast of Florida. First record.
 Western Atlantic. Continental shelf of South Carolina and Georgia (Wenner et al. 1984, as Aglaophenia allmani) to Brazil (Oliveira et al. submitted) including Bermuda (Calder 1997), the Gulf of Mexico (Calder & Cairns 2009), and the Caribbean Sea (Vervoort 1968, as Aglaophenia (?) allmani).

description: Compared to in-clinic balance training, in-home training is not as effective. This is, in part, due to the lack of feedback from physical therapists (PTs). Here, we analyze the feasibility of using trunk sway data and machine learning (ML) techniques to automatically evaluate balance, providing accurate assessments outside of the clinic. We recruited sixteen participants to perform standing balance exercises. For each exercise, we recorded trunk sway data and had a PT rate balance performance on a scale of 1 to 5. The rating scale was adapted from the Functional Independence Measure. From the trunk sway data, we extracted a 61-dimensional feature vector representing performance of each exercise. Given these labeled data, we trained a multi-class support vector machine (SVM) to map trunk sway features to PT ratings. Evaluated in a leave-one-participant-out scheme, the model achieved a classification accuracy of 82%. Compared to participant self-assessment ratings, the SVM outputs were significantly closer to PT ratings. The results of this pilot study suggest that in the absence of PTs, ML techniques can provide accurate assessments during standing balance exercises. Such automated assessments could reduce PT consultation time and increase user compliance outside of the clinic.

The thickness of the electron layer where pairs can be spontaneously created is calculated as a function of the bag parameters. We find that previous estimates are representative for bag parameters within a rather wide range, and therefore our results favor the thermal radiation mechanism of bare strange stars advanced by V.

Insight from dream and event discussions using the Schredl method of dreamwork in experienced and inexperienced dreamworkers
Creators: name: Malinowski, Josie Elizabeth
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: Practitioners of dreamwork have long understood that exploring dreams has the potential to be a source of insight, but empirical research evidencing this has generally been lacking, especially in non-clinical settings. Additionally, many of the factors that influence dreamwork efficacy remain to be discovered. The present study aimed to provide evidence for the insight-generating potential of dreamwork, and to investigate a potential factor that may influence how effective a dreamwork session is: the level of experience of the dreamer. Participants (29 (15 experienced and 14 inexperienced in dreamwork)) took part in two discussions: a dream discussion and a waking-life event discussion, using the Schredl “Listening to the Dreamer” method of dreamwork and an adapted version of this for discussing waking-life events. Results indicated that dreamwork led to significantly higher levels of Exploration-Insight and Continuity Insight in comparison to a waking-life event discussion. Levels of Personal Insight did not differ between the two conditions, but did not significantly differ from previous experiments’ Personal Insight levels following dream discussion. Experienced and inexperienced participants’ levels of insight were not significantly different. High variability in insight scores indicated that there were large differences between participants in terms of how effective the discussions were for generating insight, but this difference could not be accounted for by experience levels. Insights about changing one’s life correlated with metaphor perception within the dream. These results illustrate the insight-generating potential of dreamwork for some individuals, irrespective of the dreamer’s level of experience, and perhaps suggest that insight for change may come about following perception of metaphors for waking life in the dream.

description: Analysis of agricultural production generally ignores the undesirable outputs (such as soil erosion) that are jointly produced with desirable, marketable outputs. In this paper we present preliminary TFP results incorporating national level data for off-site damage costs for soil erosion for broadacre agriculture between 1953 and 1994. Following the approach introduced by Repetto et al. (1996) our revised TFP estimates provide interesting results. When we assume that damage costs per ton of soil erosion are constant our TFP estimates are higher than estimates omitting the undesirable output. This result can be explained by the fact that the rate of soil erosion grew slower than output increased or the rate of soil erosion declined and agricultural output remained constant. Defining weak sustainability (i.e., allowing substitution between natural and human capital) as non-declining TFP our results indicate that Australian broadacre agriculture is sustainable. Note our results are only preliminary because there are other externalities that we do not include in the analysis and the existing soil erosion damage cost data is very weak.

description: Early response to treatment in depressive disorder is a predictor for duration of illness, full response and remission. Dream anxiety is a common complaint about which patient is distressed and reports to the clinician frequently. There are no studies assessing the relationship between dream anxiety and early response to treatment. The aim was to assess whether change in dream anxiety levels was related to early response to treatment in patients with depressive disorder. 106 patients with depressive disorder were assessed using HAM-D, Van dream anxiety scale at baseline and at follow-up after 1 week. Patients’ adherence to treatment was evaluated by Morisky medication adherence scale-4 and those with high adherence were included for further assessment at follow-up. 41.5% of the study population had early response to treatment. There was 24.7% reduction in the dream anxiety levels after treatment. Improvement in dream anxiety scores (OR = 1.321, 95% CI = 1.079 - 1.618, p-value = 0.007) was significantly associated with early response to treatment. The improvement in dream anxiety was associated with early response to treatment in depressed individuals. Clinical assessment of change in dream anxiety levels could indicate to the early response to treatment, thereby helping in planning the management strategies.

Dreams in bereavement: Case study
Creators: name: Owczarski, Wojciech
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2021

description: This article presents a case study of a Polish middle-aged woman whose mother died after a long and serious illness. This woman started collecting her dreams over the period of one year. She wrote down 29 dreams in which her deceased mother appeared. The dreams changed along with time – in terms of their content and structure – reflecting consecutive phases of the dreamer’s adjustment to life after her loss. In the article, the dream content changes are characterised with the help of Hall/ Van de Castle scale. Continuity between the dream content and the dreamer’s waking process of coping with grief is explained in the light of the informant’s comments. Moreover, some healing effects of those dreams are suggested and observable in three main dimensions: diagnostic, distracting, and compensatory.

description: After coal mining, the surface above a goaf may experience the discontinuous deformation under some special geological and mining conditions, such as surface cracking, surface step subsidence and collapse pits. Discontinuous deformation seriously threatens the safety of surface buildings and infrastructures. In this paper, the mechanism of discontinuous surface deformation and surface cracking due to coal mining under thick and hard conglomerate in the Huafeng coal mine was studied using a simulation test on similar materials. Bed separation backfill was then proposed to control surface cracking and to protect the Luli bridge. Because of lithological differences between the conglomerate and relatively weak red strata (beneath the conglomerate), the bed separation occurred between them with the advancement of the working face. When the bed separation span exceeded its breaking span, the conglomerate fractured, causing surface cracking of the downhill area and seriously damaging the stability of the Luli bridge. Three drilling holes were arranged along the strikes of the 1412 and 1613 working faces and nearly 387 000 m3 of backfill materials (water, fly ash and gangue powder) were injected into the bed separation space to reduce or prevent fracturing of the conglomerate. The compacted backfill body supported the conglomerate and reduced the subsidence of the basin and surface ‘rebound' deformation at the edge of the subsidence basin. Clay in the red strata expanded upon contact with water, and this further backfilled the bed separation zone and supported the conglomerate. The upper and lower structures and foundation of the bridge were reinforced using various methods. It was shown that bed separation backfill effectively controlled conglomerate movement and protected the bridge with a maximum subsidence of 251 mm. No obvious surface cracks were observed near the Luli bridge.

description: We theoretically study the effect of long-ranged inhomogeneities on the critical properties of the integer quantum Hall transition. For this purpose we employ the real-space renormalization-group (RG) approach to the network model of the transition. We start by testing the accuracy of the RG approach in the absence of inhomogeneities, and infer the correlation length exponent nu=2.39 from a broad conductance distribution. We then incorporate macroscopic inhomogeneities into the RG procedure. Inhomogeneities are modeled by a smooth random potential with a correlator which falls off with distance as a power law, r^{-alpha}. Similar to the classical percolation, we observe an enhancement of nu with decreasing alpha. Although the attainable system sizes are large, they do not allow one to unambiguously identify a cusp in the nu(alpha) dependence at alpha_c=2/nu, as might be expected from the extended Harris criterion. We argue that the fundamental obstacle for the numerical detection of a cusp in the quantum percolation is the implicit randomness in the Aharonov-Bohm phases of the wave functions. This randomness emulates the presence of a short-range disorder alongside the smooth potential.

description: Herbicide labels recommend sufficiently large doses to achieve high efficacy of weed control under a range of environmental conditions. While users may not apply doses greater than recommended they may apply less, but do so without quantitative guidance. This paper explores long-run biological and economic outcomes of fixed label doses and strategies keyed to density of weeds in Òbest fixed-doseÓ (BFD) and Òbest efficacy-targetingÓ (BET) modes. Analysis based on 59 experiments in wheat fields across southern Australia, from 1986 to 1995, indicate the latter strategies are superior to maximum label rates in terms of (a) mean net present values of current and future benefits and costs of weed management, expressed as Hamiltonians keyed to weed seed banks, (b) mean current gross margins, and (c) lower overall herbicide use. BFD have further practical advantages in simplicity and lower information requirements for the user, BET in tailoring applications to specific field environments.

description: NanoCarb is an innovative Fourier Transform imaging spectrometer dedicated to the measurement of CO2 and CH4. Both its unusual optical principle and sampling strategy allows to reach a compact design, ideal for small satellite constellation as investigated by the European project SCARBO. The NanoCarb performance assessment as well as a proof of concept are required in this framework. A strategy of design is developed to optimize the performances and reach the sensitivity target of the space mission, demonstrating the potential of the concept without drastic complexity gain. A preliminary bias mitigation in the retrieval strategy is presented concerning water for CO2 measurement, illustrating the efficiency and the flexibility of the NanoCarb partial interferogram sampling technic. The presented design reaches a random error sub-ppm for CO2 and sub-10ppb for CH4, considering a 128 to 192 km swath, respectively, for 2 or 3 km of resolution at ground. A full mitigation of the water bias is performed on CO2 band thanks to partial interferograms.
An examination of waking day stress, personality and emotions in relation to the prediction of nightmare frequency and distress: A pilot study

description: The purpose of the study was to identify how influential waking day stress, personality, and emotions can be on the frequency and distress of nightmares. It was hypothesized that higher ratings of waking day stress, neuroticism, and negative emotions would be associated with increased frequency and distress of nightmares. Participants included 52 individuals who filled out questionnaires such as the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983) and the Big Five Inventory (John & Srivastava, 1999). The study found that waking day stress, neuroticism, and negative emotions were significantly positively correlated with nightmare distress. In contrast, extraversion was significantly negatively associated with nightmare frequency, whereas openness to experience had a significant positive correlation with nightmare frequency. This study used self-report data in order to understand which aspects of waking day life can have an impact on nightmare frequency and distress. Limitations and future directions are also addressed.

description: After coal mining, the surface above a goaf may experience the discontinuous deformation under some special geological and mining conditions, such as surface cracking, surface step subsidence and collapse pits. Discontinuous deformation seriously threatens the safety of surface buildings and infrastructures. In this paper, the mechanism of discontinuous surface deformation and surface cracking due to coal mining under thick and hard conglomerate in the Huafeng coal mine was studied using a simulation test on similar materials. Bed separation backfill was then proposed to control surface cracking and to protect the Luli bridge. Because of lithological differences between the conglomerate and relatively weak red strata (beneath the conglomerate), the bed separation occurred between them with the advancement of the working face. When the bed separation span exceeded its breaking span, the conglomerate fractured, causing surface cracking of the downhill area and seriously damaging the stability of the Luli bridge. Three drilling holes were arranged along the strikes of the 1412 and 1613 working faces and nearly 387 000 m3 of backfill materials (water, fly ash and gangue powder) were injected into the bed separation space to reduce or prevent fracturing of the conglomerate. The compacted backfill body supported the conglomerate and reduced the subsidence of the basin and surface ‘rebound' deformation at the edge of the subsidence basin. Clay in the red strata expanded upon contact with water, and this further backfilled the bed separation zone and supported the conglomerate. The upper and lower structures and foundation of the bridge were reinforced using various methods. It was shown that bed separation backfill effectively controlled conglomerate movement and protected the bridge with a maximum subsidence of 251 mm. No obvious surface cracks were observed near the Luli bridge.

description: We have developed a scheme for a high resolution measurement of the switching current distribution of a current biased Josephson tunnel junction using a timing technique. The measurement setup is implemented such that the digital control and read-out electronics are optically decoupled from the analog bias electronics attached to the sample. We have successfully used this technique to measure the thermal activation and the macroscopic quantum tunneling of the phase in a small Josephson tunnel junction with a high experimental resolution. This technique may be employed to characterize current-biased Josephson tunnel junctions for applications in quantum information processing.

Preheating in Supersymmetric Theories

description: We examine the particle production via preheating at the end of inflation in supersymmetric theories. The inflaton and matter scalars are now necessarily complex fields, and their relevant interactions are restricted by holomorphy. In general this leads to major changes both in the inflaton dynamics and in the efficiency of the preheating process. In addition, supersymmetric models generically contain multiple isolated vacua, raising the possibility of non-thermal production of dangerous topological defects. Because of these effects, the success of leptogenesis or WIMPZILLA production via preheating depends much more sensitively on the detailed parameters in the inflaton sector than previously thought.

Mass predictions based on a supersymmetric SU(5) fixed point

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: I examine the possibility that the third generation fermion masses are determined by an exact fixed point of the minimal supersymmetric SU(5) model. When one-loop supersymmetric thresholds are included, this unified fixed point successfully predicts the top quark mass, 175 +(-) 2 GeV, as well as the weak mixing angle. The bottom quark mass prediction is sensitive to the supersymmetric thresholds; it approaches the measured value for mu <0 and very large unified gaugino mass. The experimental measurement of the tau lepton mass determines tan(beta), and the strong gauge coupling and fine structure constant fix the unification scale and the unified gauge coupling.

description: Alumina-forming MAX phase ternary carbides are being considered as protective coatings on zirconium alloys as occident tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding because of their resistivity against high-temperature steam oxidation during occident scenarios. This study attempted to synthesize three types of Al-containing MAX phase carbides (Ti2AlC, Cr2AlC and Zr2AlC) as coatings on Zircaloy-4 substrates via deposition of elemental nanoscale multilayer thin films using magnetron sputtering, and subsequent thermal annealing in argon. Formation of Ti2AlC and Cr2AlC MAX hases was confirmed after annealing at 800°C and 550°C, respectively, while growth of Zr(Al)C carbide rather than Zr2AlC AX phase was observed in the Zr-C-Al system. Oxidation of the three coated samples at 1000°C in steam for 1 hour evealed no protective effect of the Ti2AlC and Zr(Al)C coatings with significant spallation and cracking. The Cr2AlC oatings possess superior oxidation resistance and self-healing capability with a thin and dense α-Al2O3 layer growth on the surface, which shows good promise as a candidate for coated ATF claddings.

description: Based on the timing and location of 400 successful releases of insects specifically targeting Echium species of weeds including PatersonÕs curse / ÒSalvation JaneÓ since 1992 across southern Australia, and estimates of insect attack and spread rates according to dates of weed germination, a benefit / cost analysis is developed for the biological control research and development program begun by CSIRO in 1972. Australian meat and wool industries have also contributed funding to the program, in addition to in-kind contributions of the NSW, Victorian, South Australian and Western Australian state departments, and since 1995 the Weeds CRC. Total R&D expenditures by CSIRO and the partners mentioned above will reach $14 million by 2001. Annual benefits in terms of increased productivity of grazing lands are projected to rise from near-zero in 2000 to some $73 million by 2015, based on a value of $8/DSE. These sums do not include savings due to reduced spray costs as offsetting expenses will arise with management practices required to maximise the success of bio-control agents, and to limit reinvasion by other pasture weeds. The discounted (5%) net present value (NPV) of the benefit-cost stream from 1972 to 2015 is projected at $259 million, for a B/C ratio of 14:1 and an internal rate of return exceeding 17%. Because lower attack and spread rates of the insects are observed in regions with late autumn breaks, a slow build-up of benefits is expected to continue over many years. The discounted NPV for the 1972-2050 period is estimated to be $916 million, with a B/C ratio of 47:1 and an internal rate of return exceeding 19%.
