description: Introduction: Childhood obesity has serious health risks including the development of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and mortality later in life. The critical growth period from 3 to 7 years provides a window of opportunity for interventions. The goal of this study is to evaluate a one year, multidisciplinary, low-intensity treatment program for young obese children, complemented with web-based modules, called “AanTafel!”, on body composition, cardiometabolic risk profile, quality of life (HRQoL), eating behavior and physical activity. Methods: In the pre-post-test design all measures were taken at baseline, 4 months, at the end of treatment and 3 years after baseline. Results: Thirteen boys and 27 girls with median BMI z-score of, respectively, 4.2 and 3.3 aged 3 to 8 started “AanTafel!”. Eighty percent (n = 32) completed treatment. BMI z-score decreased with 0.45 (end of treatment) and sustained after 3 years. At the start, 16.7% of the children had all four components of metabolic syndrome which decreased to 0%. HDL cholesterol significantly increased. Concentrations of the markers IL18, e-selectin, and sICAM significantly decreased indicating a reduction of inflammation. Conclusion: “AanTafel!” is effective in improving health of obese young children. The reduction of overweight is clinically relevant and sustained after 3 years.

description: This paper considers an Internet-of-Things (IoT) scenario in which devices sporadically transmit short packets with few pilot symbols over a fading channel. Devices are characterized by unique transmission non-idealities, such as I/Q imbalance. The number of pilots is generally insufficient to obtain an accurate estimate of the end-to-end channel, which includes the effects of fading and of the transmission-side distortion. This paper proposes to tackle this problem by using meta-learning. Accordingly, pilots from previous IoT transmissions are used as meta-training data in order to train a demodulator that is able to quickly adapt to new end-to-end channel conditions from few pilots. Various state-of-the-art meta-learning schemes are adapted to the problem at hand and evaluated, including Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML), First-Order MAML (FOMAML), REPTILE, and fast Context Adaptation VIA meta-learning (CAVIA). Both offline and online solutions are developed. In the latter case, an integrated online meta-learning and adaptive pilot number selection scheme is proposed. Numerical results validate the advantages of meta-learning as compared to training schemes that either do not leverage prior transmissions or apply a standard joint learning algorithms on previously received data.

description: M.S.H. Biswas crypto-intensive techniques in combination of Encryption algorithm, Signature generation algorithm, Signature verification algorithm and Decription algorithm. Michael O. Rabin Signature scheme uses random padding to validate signature. Analogously the proposed techniques uses same padding system including additional quotient and residuum. The only difference is that Rabin signature is pair or triple in some special cases but proposed model uses four-tuple signature system. Michael O. Rabin Cryptosystem can generate same ciphertext form different plaintext as well as multiple plaintext from single cyphertext. To solve those issues, i designed a new cryptosystem “A mathematical model for ascertaining same ciphertext generated from distinct plaintext in Michael O. Rabin Cryptosystem”. But it did not have authentication system to verify sender and valid message because there was no signature generation facility.In this article, i have designed a new signature algorithm in combination with previous techniques and Michael O. Rabin public key Signature scheme. Receiver can decipher secret message from sender’s signature. The proposed crypto intensive technique uses two times security key by slightly altering Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol. The advantage of proposed crypto intensive technique is that the sender generate signature using encrypted text and intended receiver can retrieve plaintext from signature through signature verification system.The proposed crypto teachniques secure against man-in-the-middle attack. It is unforgeable while Rabin’s signature is forgeable in forgery attack.

description: We report systematical studies of a new quasi-one-dimensional (1D) compound Ba3TiTe5 and the high-pressure induced superconductivity therein. Ba3TiTe5 was synthesized at high pressure and high temperature. It crystallizes into a hexagonal structure (P63/mcm), which consists of infinite face-sharing octahedral TiTe6 chains and Te chains along the c axis, exhibiting a strong 1D characteristic structure. The first-principles calculations demonstrate that Ba3TiTe5 is a well-defined 1D conductor and thus, it can be considered a starting point to explore the exotic physics induced by pressure via enhancing the interchain hopping to move the 1D conductor to a high dimensional metal. For Ba3TiTe5, high-pressure techniques were employed to study the emerging physics dependent on interchain hopping, such as the Umklapp scattering effect, spin/charge density wave (SDW/CDW), superconductivity and non-Fermi Liquid behavior. Finally, a complete phase diagram was plotted. The superconductivity emerges from 8.8 GPa, near which the Umklapp gap is mostly suppressed. Tc is enhanced and reaches the maximum ~6 K at about 36.7 GPa, where the spin/charge density wave (SDW/CDW) is completely suppressed, and a non-Fermi Liquid behavior appears. Our results suggest that the appearance of superconductivity is associated with the fluctuation due to the suppression of Umklapp gap and the enhancement of Tc is related with the fluctuation of the SDW/CDW.

description: Worldwide, aquaculture is assuming ever more importance in diminishing the pressure on wild stocks in the seas. Prices of feed used in farming fish are increasing, due the rise in demand. Research on sustainable sources of feed was recently intensified and insects as meal to substitute soybean and fish meals and oils seems a promising field. Consequently we explored future consumer attitude toward the consumption of fish farmed on insect meals, as a mean of enhancing the sustainability of the farming system in aquaculture. We focused our attention on Italian consumers of fish and the results show a sensitive consumer, willing to try an innovative product, interested in research to improve the safe-guarding of marine resources.

description: The following document presents a comprehensive exploration of multiple scattering theory and its applications in the analysis of complex structural arrangements. Multiple scattering theory stands as a versatile analytical framework, offering insights into the behaviour of clusters of scatterers subjected to external fields. This document delves into its theoretical underpinnings, practical methodologies, and real-world applications,aiming to elucidate its significance in various scientific and engineering disciplines. Beginning with an overview of the fundamental principles of multiple scattering theory, we delve into its mathematical formulations and underlying assumptions. We explore how this theory enables the computation of eigenmodes within clusters of scatterers, shedding light on their dynamic responses to external stimuli. Moreover, this document examines the practical implementation of multiple scattering theory in the context of specific geometries and material properties. We discuss its application in scenarios involving thin elastic plates, semi-infinite substrates, and other complex structures, highlighting its adaptability across diverse scenarios.Furthermore, we delve into the challenges and limitations associated with numerical methods commonly used in structural analysis. By contrasting these with the advantages offered by multiple scattering theory, we underscore its efficacy in providing accurate and insightful solutions, particularly in scenarios where numericalmethods may fall short. Additionally, we showcase the practical utility of multiple scattering theory throughcase studies and demonstrations. We present examples of its application in resonance splitting phenomena and the design of optimal structural configurations, illustrating its potential to address real-world engineering challenges.
Realizing modular quadrature measurements via a tunable photon-pressure coupling in circuit-QED

description: One of the most direct preparations of a Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill qubit in an oscillator uses a tunable photon-pressure (also called optomechanical) coupling of the form $g \hat{q} a^{\dagger} a$, enabling to imprint the modular value of the position $\hat{q}$ of one oscillator onto the state of an ancilla oscillator. We analyze the practical feasibility of executing such modular quadrature measurements in a parametric circuit-QED realization of this coupling. We provide estimates for the expected GKP squeezing induced by the protocol and discuss the effect of photon loss and other errors on the resulting squeezing.

description: Tobias-Renstrøm and Køppe (2020) show the several conceptual limits that new materialism and postmodern subject models have for psychological theory and research. The present study continues this discussion and argues that the applicability of the ideas of quantum-inspired new materialism depends on the theoretical perspectives that we consider for analysis: be it the first-person perspective referring to the subjective experience of a human subject, or the third-person perspective, in which a human subject is observed by an external observer. While the arguments of new materialism are in accordance with the analysis of the act of observation performed by an external observer, some problems arise when trying to theoretically approach the first-person subjective experience of a human subject. For example, new materialism fails to explain why human minds can maintain the awareness of a subject’s identity throughout their lives and to recall the memories about their past personal experiences.

description: During the last years, current systems in agriculture and food production have been topic in public discussions. Especially modern animal husbandry seems not to match consumers’ or societal needs any longer. This paper concentrates on the society’s perspective regarding dairy farming in general and diverting perceptions and expectations with respect to dairy cattle either reared organically or reared conventionally. It aims to give orientation to farmers as well as policymakers about the societal point of view of dairy farming. Six focus groups were carried out in three German cities to capture the scope of opinions and expectations among the population. Three of those groups consisted of participants buying mainly organic food while the other three comprised citizens buying mainly conventional food. With respect to society’s perception of today’s dairy farming results showed that participants put emphasis on the following topics: the space for each cow was considered as insufficient and not species-appropriate, assumed application of medications as too high, and in particular the prophylactic use of antibiotics as problematic. Asked about perceived differences between organic versus conventional farming it became obvious that organic in contrast to the conventional farming was perceived as more species-appropriate. More or less, all previously criticized aspects seem to be regarded as irrelevant in organic farming. Some participants showed a very romantic view of organic dairy farming. The most critical point was an assumed high rate of rogue traders among organic farmers.

description: We examine the claim by Oppenheimer et al. (2001) that the local halo density of white dwarfs is an order of magnitude higher than previously thought. As it stands, the observational data support the presence of a kinematically distinct population of halo white dwarfs at the >99% confidence level. A maximum-likelihood analysis gives a radial velocity dispersion of sigma^h_U=150(+80/-40) km/s and an asymmetric drift of v_a^h=176(+102/-80) km/s, for a Schwarzschild velocity distribution function with sigma_U:sigma_V:sigma_W=1:2/3:1/2. Halo white dwarfs have a local number density of 1.1(+2.1/-0.7)x10^-4 pc-3, which amounts to 0.8(+1.6/-0.5) per cent of the nominal local dark-matter halo density and is 5.0(+9.5/-3.2) times higher and thus only marginally in agreement with previous estimates (all errors indicate the 90% C.L.). We discuss several direct consequences of this white-dwarf population (e.g. microlensing) and postulate a potential mechanism to eject young white dwarfs from the disc to the halo, through the orbital instabilities in triple or multiple stellar systems.

description: The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology to measure some of the economic impacts of state highway programs. State departments of transportation (DOTs) need such a methodology for a variety of reasons, including long-term highway planning as well as advising state policymakers concerning the economic impacts of highway programs. The specific objectives of this study are: (1) describe a procedure to measure the output, value added, and employment impacts of specific types of highway and bridge improvement, and (2) illustrate an application of the model using data from Kansas. The objectives of the research are accomplished with input-output modeling. An 11-step procedure is described for adjusting the Kansas IMPLAN input-output model so that it is capable of measuring economic impacts for specific types of highway and bridge improvement. The model is illustrated using data from a recently completed study of the Kansas Comprehensive Transportation Program (CTP), which included expenditure of $5.24 billion on state highway system projects. Data from this study are used to demonstrate the calculation of output, value added, and employment impacts for five different highway and bridge improvement categories.

description: An examination of the effects of deregulation and the performance of the Surface Transportation Board (STB) under that deregulation usually includes an analysis of rail rates that have evolved since implementation of the Staggers Act of 1980 (Staggers Act). This paper examines the rail rate structure for agricultural commodities and compares it with rates for other commodities. Changes in agricultural rail rates are evaluated relative to shipment size and distance shipped to understand how they affect agricultural shippers. Railroads transferred costs to agricultural shippers and overrecovered fuel costs with surcharges. Shippers question the reasonableness of rail rates in the light of railroad revenue adequacy data.

description: We discuss the Green-Schwarz action for type IIB strings in general plane-wave backgrounds obtained as Penrose limits from any IIB supergravity solutions with vanishing background fermions. Using the normal-coordinate expansion in superspace, we prove that the light-cone action is necessarily quadratic in the fermionic coordinates. This proof is valid for more general pp-wave backgrounds under certain conditions. We also write down the complete quadratic action for general bosonic on-shell backgrounds in a form in which its geometrical meaning is manifest both in the Einstein and string frames. When the dilaton and 1-form field strength are vanishing, and the other field strengths are constant, our string-frame action reduces, up to conventions, to the one which has been written down using the supercovariant derivative.

description: Multiple testing of a single hypothesis and testing multiple hypotheses are usually done in terms of p-values. In this paper we replace p-values with their natural competitor, e-values, which are closely related to betting, Bayes factors, and likelihood ratios. We demonstrate that e-values are often mathematically more tractable; in particular, in multiple testing of a single hypothesis, e-values can be merged simply by averaging them. This allows us to develop efficient procedures using e-values for testing multiple hypotheses.

Measuring Bulk Product Transportation Fuel Efficiency

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2011
Subjects: Public Economics

description: This paper reviews the literature that compares the fuel efficiencies of bulk commodity transportation modes. Most studies used net-ton-miles per gallon to compare modal fuel efficiencies. Net-tonmiles per gallon have traditionally been estimated from aggregate industry data of total net-tonmiles and total fuel consumed. More recent studies have targeted specific origins, destinations, products hauled, types and sizes of equipment, backhauls, and miles traveled to estimate total fuel consumption. This paper shows that fuel efficiency estimates based only on net-ton-miles per gallon can be erroneous. The paper identifies basic variables and measurement methods that can improve the accuracy of modal fuel efficiency comparisons.
Cosmological constraint from QSO spatial power spectrum

description: In this paper we consider constraints on the cosmological density parameters from the spatial power spectrum of QSOs. We first review an analytic approach to the spatial power spectrum of QSOs, then we compare the result of the analytic approach with a preliminary result of the power spectrum from the two-degree Field QSO redshift (2QZ) survey. From a simple chi^2 test, we show that a finite baryon fraction better explains observation of the QSO power spectrum, which might suggest a possible detection of the baryonic oscillations in the QSO power spectrum.

description: As a Provost Fellow, I focused on expanding Information Literacy Instruction by creating accessibility guidelines for librarians. My goal was to design a set of guidelines that are useful to librarians of all subject backgrounds. Following multiple consultations, I delved into an iterative cycle of designing guidelines and receiving feedback from my mentor and other librarians. As a computer science researcher, It was important for me to create resources that can be accessed by everyone and enable librarians to think critically about access technologies and inclusive pedagogies.

Accessibility should be a priority rather than an afterthought in librarianship and academic educational experiences. This will enable students of all abilities to access and utilize library resources. Therefore, librarians should enhance accessibility practices by using tools and education materials that are compatible with access technologies and by incorporating accessibility as a pedagogical practice.

description: CUORE is a proposed tightly packed array of 1000 TeO2 bolometers, each being a cube 5 cm on a side with a mass of 760 g. The array consists of 25 vertical towers, arranged in a square of 5 towers by 5 towers, each containing 10 layers of 4 crystals. The design of the detector is optimized for ultralow-background searches: for neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te (33.8% abundance), cold dark matter, solar axions, and rare nuclear decays. A preliminary experiment involving 20 crystals 3x3x6 cm3 of 340 g has been completed, and a single CUORE tower is being constructed as a smaller scale experiment called CUORICINO. The expected performance and sensitivity, based on Monte Carlo simulations and extrapolations of present results, are reported.

description:
he recently described crystalline cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene with a 1,1’-ferrocenylene (fc) backbone fc(CPh₂−C−NMes) (A, Mes=mesityl) is highly reactive due to its particularly pronounced ambiphilicity and is thermally not stable in solution due to an intramolecular insertion of the divalent carbon atom into a methyl C−H bond of the Mes substituent. The closely related congener fc(CPh₂−C−N-p-C₆H₄-tBu) (1) cannot undergo such an insertion reaction. Nevertheless, 1 is too short-lived for isolation due to a rapid 1,2-shift of a phenyl group, furnishing the isomeric cyclic enamine fc[C(Ph)=C(Ph)−N-p-C₆H₄-tBu] (1’) in a specific decomposition process unprecedented for CAACs. Trapping of 1 was possible with carbon monoxide, elemental selenium and with [CuBr(SMe₂)], respectively affording the aminoketene 1=C=O, the selenoamide 1=Se and the homoleptic CuI complex [Cu(1)₂][CuBr₂]. 1 is an even stronger ambiphile than A according to NMR spectroscopic data. Similar to A, 1 does not react with H₂, because the experimentally observed intramolecular process is kinetically more favourable according to DFT results.
Le origini magiche della scienza. Uno sguardo alla tradizione filosofica

description: The idea that the occult or esoteric sciences – in particular magic, alchemy, and astrology – have played a significant role in the birth of modern science has gained a solid position in the metascientific literature of the last two centuries. This idea is certainly controversial, but not more controversial than other theories of the origins of science. Indeed, the theory that modern science simply emerged from common sense, once all the traditional theological impediments were removed, as well as the theory that identifies the roots of modern science in the Judeo-Christian beliefs, have also both met with severe criticism. This article presents the thought of four philosophers who paved the road for the theory of the magical origins of science, namely Francis Bacon, Auguste Comte, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Their insights have subsequently been developed by social scientists and historians of science. A brief account of these developments will be also given in the conclusions.
Walking Through Twitter: Sampling a Language-Based Follow Network of Influential Twitter Accounts

description: Twitter continuously tightens the access to its data via the publicly accessible, cost-free standard APIs. This especially applies to the follow network. In light of this, we successfully modified a network sampling method to work efficiently with the Twitter standard API in order to retrieve the most central and influential accounts of a language-based Twitter follow network: the German Twittersphere. We provide evidence that the method is able to approximate a set of the top 1 to 10 percent of influential accounts in the German Twittersphere in terms of activity, follower numbers, coverage and reach. Furthermore, we demonstrate the usefulness of these data by presenting the first overview of topical communities within the German Twittersphere and their network structure. The presented data mining method opens up further avenues of enquiry, such as the collection and comparison of language-based Twitterspheres other than the German one, its further development for the collection of follow networks around certain topics or accounts of interest, and its application to other online social networks and platforms in conjunction with concepts such as agenda setting and opinion leadership.

description: Flow control is of interest in many open and wall-bounded shear flows in order to reduce drag or to avoid sudden large fluctuations that may lead to material failure. An established means of control is the application of suction through a porous wall. Here, we combine suction with a feedback strategy whereby the suction velocity is adjusted in response to either the kinetic energy or the shear stress at the bottom wall. The control procedure is then used in an attempt to stabilize invariant solutions and to carry out direct numerical simulations with a prescribed value of the friction coefficient.

description: Overdose involving anticholinergic agents frequently cause delirium and agitation, for which the antidote of choice is physostigmine. Due to unpredictable physostigmine availability, rivastigmine has been proposed as an alternative therapy though limited research has been conducted. We conducted a retrospective review of one regional poison center’s records of patients who received rivastigmine to treat anticholinergic delirium between January 01, 2021, and March 31, 2023. Thirty patients received oral rivastigmine. Two patients additionally received transdermal rivastigmine and two patients physostigmine. The most common initial oral rivastigmine dose was 3 mg. Thirteen patients received more than one dose of rivastigmine. Following rivastigmine, 20 patients demonstrated symptom improvement, and 10 patients showed no clear benefit. Symptom improvement occurred within 1 h for 4 patients, within 4 h for 11 patients, and after 4 h for 5 patients. No cholinergic adverse effects were reported with rivastigmine use. Rivastigmine, whether transdermal or oral, may be beneficial when treating anticholinergic toxicity. Our small cohort had no reported adverse effects from rivastigmine. Larger studies are warranted to determine appropriate starting doses, dosing strategies, and safety of rivastigmine in treating anticholinergic toxicity.

description: Sozialforschung ist häufig durch verschiedene Herausforderungen im Verhältnis von Forschenden und Beforschten geprägt. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist die Herausarbeitung zentraler Dilemmata am Beispiel der Forschung zu trans* Personen. Daran anknüpfend werden neben einer theoretischen Rahmung mit Spivaks strategischem Essenzialismus Umgangsweisen mit diesen forschungsfeldimmanenten Spezifika aufgezeigt. Zentrale Erkenntnis ist dabei, dass sich die skizzierten Dilemmata nicht auflösen lassen und gerade deshalb einer reflektierten, bewussten und normativen Auseinandersetzung, eines solidarischen Forschens bedürfen.

description: Skin permeation is an essential biological property of small organic compounds our body is exposed to, such as drugs in topic formulations, cosmetics, and environmental toxins. Despite the limited availability of experimental data, there is a lack of systematic analysis and structure. We present a novel resource on skin permeation data that collects all measurements available in the literature and systematically structures experimental conditions. Besides the skin permeation value kp, it includes experimental protocols such as skin source site, skin layer used, preparation technique, storage conditions, as well as test conditions such as temperature, pH as well as the type of donor and acceptor solution. It is important to include these parameters in the assessment of the skin permeation data. In addition, we provide an analysis of physicochemical properties and chemical space coverage, laying the basis for applicability domain determination of insights drawn from the collected data points. The database is freely accessible under https://huskindb.drug-design.de or https://doi.org/10.7303/syn21998881.

description: Except for very particular and artificial experimental configurations, linear transformations of the state of polarization of an electromagnetic wave result in a reduction of the intensity of the exiting wave with respect to the incoming one. This natural passive behavior imposes certain mathematical restrictions on the corresponding Mueller matrices associated to the said transformations. Although the general conditions for passivity in Mueller matrices were presented in a previous paper [J. J. Gil, J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 17, 328-334 (2000)], the demonstration was incomplete. In this paper, the set of two necessary and sufficient conditions for a Mueller matrix to represent a passive medium are determined and demonstrated on the basis of its arbitrary decomposition as a convex combination of nondepolarizing and passive pure Mueller matrices. The procedure followed to solve the problem provides also an appropriate framework to identify the Mueller matrix that, among the family of proportional passive Mueller matrices, exhibits the maximal physically achievable intensity transmittance. Beyond the theoretical interest on the rigorous characterization of passivity, the results obtained, when applied to absolute Mueller polarimetry, also provide a criterion to discard those experimentally measured Mueller matrices that do not satisfy the passivity criterion.

description: We study the problem of predicting rare critical transition events for a class of slow-fast nonlinear dynamical systems. The state of the system of interest is described by a slow process, whereas a faster process drives its evolution and induces critical transitions. By taking advantage of recent advances in reservoir computing, we present a data-driven method to predict the future evolution of the state. We show that our method is capable of predicting a critical transition event at least several numerical time steps in advance. We demonstrate the success as well as the limitations of our method using numerical experiments on three examples of systems, ranging from low dimensional to high dimensional. We discuss the mathematical and broader implications of our results.
