description: Subluminous B stars come in a variety of flavours including single stars, close and wide binaries, and pulsating and non-pulsating variables. A majority have helium-poor surfaces (helium by number nHe<1%), whilst a minority have extremely helium-rich surfaces (nHe>90%). A small number have an intermediate surface helium abundance (~ 10 - 30%), accompanied by peculiar abundances of other elements. The questions posed are i) whether these abundance peculiarities are associated with radiatively-driven and time-dependent stratification of elements within the photosphere as the star evolves from an helium-enriched progenitor to become a normal helium-poor sdB star, and ii) whether these phenomena occur only in single sdB stars or are also associated with sdB stars in binaries. We present a fine analysis of the bright intermediate-helium sdB star CPD-20 1123 (Albus 1) which shows it to be cool, for a hot subdwarf, with Teff~23 000 K and with a surface helium abundance ~17% by number. Other elements do not show extraordinary anomalies; in common with majority sdB stars, carbon and oxygen are substantially depleted, whilst nitrogen is enriched. Magnesium through sulphur appear to be depleted by ~0.5 dex, but chlorine and argon are substantially enhanced. We also present a series of radial-velocity measurements which show the star to be a close binary with an orbital period of 2.3 d, suggesting it to be a post-common-envelope system. The discovery of an intermediate helium-rich sdB star in a close binary in addition to known and apparently single exemplars supports the view that these are very young sdB stars in which radiatively-driven stratification of the photosphere is incomplete.

description: There are increasing efforts to incorporate biology into our study of the social determinants of health. While there is increasing utilisation of biosocial methods in child health and health disparities research, protocols for collecting biomeasures in community contexts involving children are underdeveloped. This paper is based on the Speak Out Against Racism (SOAR) project which collected anthropometric, blood pressure and biosamples (buccal swabs and saliva) from a diverse sample of 124 children (aged 10-12) at 3 public schools. Students participated in hands-on science tutorials that provided an overview of the study protocol and goals. This paper describes the methods employed, as well as the practical and ethical considerations necessary for biomeasure data collection within schools. This study discusses the feasibility of collecting biological data in school settings, including the considerable preparation and resources required for recruitment, planning and data collection. Lessons learned and suggestions to inform future research and practice in this area are discussed.

description: We investigate the matching of agents to resources in a computational ecology configured to present heterogeneous resource patches to evolving, neurally controlled agents. We repeatedly find a nearly optimal, ideal free distribution (IFD) of agents to resources. Deviations from IFD are shown to be consistent with models of human foraging behaviors, and possibly driven by spatial constraints and maximum foraging rates. The lack of any model parameters addressing agent foraging or clustering behaviors and the biological verisimilitude of our agent control systems differentiates these results from simpler models and suggests the possibility of exploring the underlying mechanisms by which optimal foraging emerges.

description: In the present paper, we report a comparison study of SrFe$_2$As$_2$ and SrFeAsF using Mössbauer spectroscopy. The temperature dependence of the magnetic hyperfine field is fitted with a modified Bean-Rodbell model. The results give much smaller magnetic moment and magneto-structural coupling effect for SrFeAsF, which may be understood as due to different inter-layer properties of the two compounds.

description: We have shown [J.\ Fluid Mech.\ {\bf 592}, 447 (2007)] that swapping (reversing) trajectories in confined suspension flows prevent collisions between particles approaching each other in adjacent streamlines. Here we demonstrate that by inducing layering this hydrodynamic mechanism changes the microstructure of suspensions in a confined Couette flow. Layers occur either in the near-wall regions or span the whole channel width, depending on the strength of the swapping-trajectory effect. While our theory focuses on dilute suspensions, we postulate that this new hydrodynamic mechanism controls formation of a layered microstructure in such flows in a wide range of densities.

On spasticity in spinal cord injury : the challenge of measurement and the role of novel intervention (Segway)
Creators: name: Boutilier, Grace
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Spasticity is a common sequale of spinal cord injury (SCI), and can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on mobility, functional independence and self-esteem. Clinical measurement of spasticity suffers from questions of credibility and contextual isolation. Recently self-report measures of spasticity have gained recognition as a viable alternative to independent examiner techniques. This pilot study endeavored to discern whether agreement was present between the clinical ‘gold standard’ measure (the modified Ashworth scale or MAS) and a recently validated self-report tool (the Spinal Cord Injury Spasticity Evaluation Tool or SCI-SET). Spearman rank correlational analysis of measurement of spasticity using MAS and SCI-SET demonstrated some agreement, particularly with respect to the upper extremity musculature (ρ=.564, p=0.001). This relationship was much weaker comparing the lower extremity (ρ=.249, p=.161). They appear to measure similar, yet distinct aspects of the patients’ spasticity. While the MAS is quick and offers an objective interpretation, perhaps the SCI-SET better reflects the multifaceted nature of spasticity and how it affects the individual, and may enable some interpretation regarding the upper and lower extremities. This information is helpful for clinicians to compile a more comprehensive picture of spasticity as it affects the individual. The Segway Personal Transporter® is a novel, yet practical mobility tool which has yet to garner widespread support in the SCI population. It requires minimal functional ability to operate, and is appropriate for use in individuals with disabilities. Previous work suggests a possible link between the Segway and physiologic benefits to spasticity, pain and fatigue. A one month intervention program targeted these outcome measures to determine (1) if they exist and (2) whether the effects are immediate or long-term in nature. The Segway provides evidence for short term reductions in clinical ratings of spasticity (p=.001) and self-report pain (p=.027). Self-evaluations of fatigue approached significance (p=.12). There is some evidence to suggest that these beneficial outcomes may have lasting effects. The Segway may provide an adjunct to current therapy options for treating spasticity by introducing a stimulus to the system which overrides some underlying mechanism(s). As this was pilot work, further investigation of a longitudinal nature with a larger sample size is required to substantiate these findings.

description: The mode switching phenomenon of PSR B0329+54 is investigated based on the long-term monitoring from September 2003 to April 2009 made with the Urumqi 25m radio telescope at 1540 MHz. At that frequency, the change of relative intensity between the leading and trailing components is the predominant feature of mode switching. The intensity ratios between the leading and trailing components are measured for the individual profiles averaged over a few minutes. It is found that the ratios follow normal distributions, where the abnormal mode has a wider typical width than the normal mode, indicating that the abnormal mode is less stable than the normal mode. Our data show that 84.9% of the time for PSR B0329+54 was in the normal mode and 15.1% was in the abnormal mode. From the two passages of eight-day quasi-continuous observations in 2004, and supplemented by the daily data observed with 15 m telescope at 610 MHz at Jodrell Bank Observatory, the intrinsic distributions of mode timescales are constrained with the Bayesian inference method. It is found that the gamma distribution with the shape parameter slightly smaller than 1 is favored over the normal, lognormal and Pareto distributions. The optimal scale parameters of the gamma distribution is 31.5 minutes for the abnormal mode and 154 minutes for the normal mode. The shape parameters have very similar values, i.e. 0.75^{+0.22}_{-0.17} for the normal mode and 0.84^{+0.28}_{-0.22} for the abnormal mode, indicating the physical mechanisms in both modes may be the same. No long-term modulation of the relative intensity ratios was found for both the modes, suggesting that the mode switching was stable. The intrinsic timescale distributions, for the first time constrained for this pulsar, provide valuable information to understand the physics of mode switching.

description: Natural selection plays a key role in deterministic evolution, as clearly illustrated by adaptive radiations. Unlike most spiders, Dysdera species display a high variability of cheliceral morphologies, which has been suggested to reflect different levels of specialisation to feed on isopods. In this study, we integrate geometric morphometrics and experimental trials with a fully resolved phylogeny of the highly diverse endemic species from the Canary Islands to (1) characterize cheliceral morphologies, (2) unravel their dietary function, (3) examine if they evolved multiple times independently (4) verify whether convergent evolution of morphotypes has occurred and (5) test if specialization could lead to evolutionary irreversibility. We show the existence of nine cheliceral morphotypes and uncovered their significance for trophic ecology. Further, we demonstrate that similar ecomorphs evolved multiple times in the archipelago, providing a novel study system to explain how convergent evolution and irreversibility due to specialization may be combined to shape phenotypic diversification in adaptive radiations.

description: Gegenstand des vorliegenden Beitrages ist die Frage nach dem Wandel von Arbeit im Kontext der absehbar schnellen Verbreitung digitaler Technologien. Dabei steht vor allem die industrielle Entwicklung im Fokus, die in Deutschland unter dem Label Industrie 4.0 diskutiert wird. In dieser Diskussion wird davon ausgegangen, dass gegenwärtig ein ausgesprochener technologischer Entwicklungsschub mit geradezu disruptiven sozialen und ökonomischen Folgen stattfinde. Dieses Thema wird in mehreren Argumentationsschritten behandelt: Erstens wird die aktuelle, sehr technologiezentrierte Debatte zusammengefasst, zweitens wird die laufende Diskussion über die Digitalisierung von Arbeit resümiert, drittens wird nach der anzunehmenden Reichweite, den Widersprüchen sowie Grenzen der Digitalisierung von Arbeit gefragt und viertens werden die Perspektiven der weiteren Entwicklung thematisiert. Es wird gezeigt, dass mit einem uneindeutigen Wandel von Arbeit zu rechnen ist und die digitalen Technologien die Heterogenität der Arbeitslandschaft vertiefen werden. Die Argumentation basiert im Wesentlichen auf einer Literaturauswertung, die durch einige eigene empirische Evidenzen ergänzt wird. Methodisch hat der Beitrag daher explorativen Charakter, er zielt auf eine systematische Analyse des Gegenstandsbereichs und die Generierung von Hypothesen für die weitere Forschung.

description: Central to quantum theory, the wavefunction is the complex distribution used to completely describe a quantum system. Despite its fundamental role, it is typically introduced as an abstract element of the theory with no explicit definition. Rather, physicists come to a working understanding of the wavefunction through its use to calculate measurement outcome probabilities via the Born Rule. Presently, scientists determine the wavefunction through tomographic methods, which estimate the wavefunction that is most consistent with a diverse collection of measurements. The indirectness of these methods compounds the problem of defining the wavefunction. Here we show that the wavefunction can be measured directly by the sequential measurement of two complementary variables of the system. The crux of our method is that the first measurement is performed in a gentle way (i.e. weak measurement) so as not to invalidate the second. The result is that the real and imaginary components of the wavefunction appear directly on our measurement apparatus. We give an experimental example by directly measuring the transverse spatial wavefunction of a single photon, a task not previously realized by any method. We show that the concept is universal, being applicable both to other degrees of freedom of the photon (e.g. polarization, frequency, etc.) and to other quantum systems (e.g. electron spin-z quantum state, SQUIDs, trapped ions, etc.). Consequently, this method gives the wavefunction a straightforward and general definition in terms of a specific set of experimental operations. We expect it to expand the range of quantum systems scientists are able to characterize and initiate new avenues to understand fundamental quantum theory.

description: We have performed inelastic neutron scattering measurements on the single-layer cuprate Bi2+xSr2-xCuO6+y (Bi2201) with x=0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, a doping range that spans the spin-glass (SG) to superconducting (SC) phase boundary. The doping evolution of low energy spin fluctuations was found to be characterized by a change of incommensurate modulation wave vector from the tetragonal [110] to [100]/[010] directions, while maintaining a linear relation between the incommensurability and the hole concentration, delta p. In the SC regime, the spectral weight is strongly suppressed below 4 meV. Similarities and differences in the spin correlations between Bi2201 and the prototypical single-layer system La2-xSrxCuO4 are discussed.

Four allied taxa including 2 circumpolar-perioceanic, Southern Boreal-Temperate species [? . bonsaia Wylie and R. infZata Hook. f. &Tayl.], 1 circumpolar -perioceanic, Boreal-Temperate species [R. farinacea (L.) Ach.], and 1 North American, Southern Boreal-Eastern Temperate species [R. calcm"' Hylie] from adjacent provinces are also reviewed. Six taxa are new to science. Of the 37 primary and accessory chemical constituents described, 20 are first records for the genus. The rare, structurally unique orcinol depsidone, variolaric acid, occurred in two species. The concentrations, indicator reactions, ,and known structure of all natural products cited are given. Within the Ramalina species studied, striking gradients in thallus height, width, and growth form are common between taxon members growing in slightly different habitats. More subtle continua in tissue distribution or reproductive emphasis are also found within adjacent thalli of the same species. All taxa reviewed were dependent on continued sources of high humidity. The majority of species were widespread, but highly localized in occurrence and indiscriminatingly inhabited substrates offering moist environments. All Ramalina populations studied were mature forest indicators when corticolous, and uniformly sensitive to competitive and limiting factor inhibition throughout their known range in the Prairie provinces.

description: Marine mammal interactions (i.e., hookings and entanglements) with the Hawaii and American Samoa longline fisheries observed during 2009-2013 were compiled, and the number of marine mammal deaths, serious injuries, and non-serious injuries by fishery, species, and management area were assessed. These values form the basis of the mortality and serious injury estimates included in the stock assessment reports of stocks impacted by these fisheries. Injury determinations were made using a nationally standardized process and established criteria for distinguishing serious from non-serious injuries (National Marine Fisheries Service, 2012). In the Hawaii deep-set fishery, 45 marine mammal interactions were observed from 2009 to 2013; most involved false killer whales (53.3%), resulted in death or serious injury (75.6%), and occurred outside the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) (55.6%). In the Hawaii shallow-set fishery, 43 marine mammal interactions were observed from 2009 to 2013; most involved Risso’s dolphins (39.5%), resulted in death or serious injury (69.8%), and occurred outside the U.S. EEZ (90.7%). In the American Samoa deep-set fishery, 13 marine mammal interactions were observed from 2009 to 2013; most involved rough-toothed dolphins (46.2%), resulted in death or serious injury (92.3%), and occurred within the U.S. EEZ (76.9%).

description: T. Mochizuki constructs a theory of variations of wild Hodge structure for which the underlying flat connection can have irregular singularities at infinity. He extends in this way the correspondence of Corlette and Simpson between irreducible flat bundles and stables Higgs bundles, taking into account objects with irregular singularities. As an application, he proves a conjecture of Kashiwara concerning a generalization of the Hard Lefschetz theorem when the coefficients are the de Rham complex of a simple holonomic D-module on smooth complex projective variety.

description: Neutral kaon photoproduction off the nucleon and deuteron has been reinvestigated by utilizing the new experimental data on both targets. An isobar model for elementary operator and impulse approximation for the reaction on the deuteron have been used. The available free parameters in the elementary model have been extracted from both elementary and deuteron data. In contrast to the elementary reaction, fitting the deuteron data requires an inclusion of weighting factor. The result indicates that the angular distribution of the elementary $K^0Λ$ process does not show backward peaking behavior.

description: Die zur Reduzierung der zunehmenden Oberflächenversiegelung eingesetzten versickerungsfähigen Verkehrsflächen sowie der darunter oberflächennah anstehende Untergrund befinden sich vorwiegend in teilgesättigten Zuständen. Die grundlegende Funktion zur Beschreibung des hydraulischen, teilgesättigten Bodenverhaltens ist die nichtlineare Kapillardruck-Sättigungs-Beziehung. Es wird eine um ein Kapillardruck-Sättigungs-Modell erweiterte Dreiphasen-Kontinuums-Formulierung verwendet, um den Einfluss von Radlasten auf die hydraulisch-mechanische Wechselwirkung in teilgesättigten Unterbaumaterialien numerisch zu untersuchen. So lassen sich bei zyklischer Belastung unter anderem Aufsättigungseffekte und Porenwasserdruckakkumulationen verzeichnen. Mit dem an umfangreichen experimentellen Untersuchungen kalibrierten Modellierungsansatz steht ein validiertes Werkzeug zur Verfügung, das sich auf zahlreiche weitere Fragestellungen anwenden lässt.
description: Permeable traffic surfaces used to reduce increasing surface sealing, as well as the subsoil beneath them near the surface, are predominantly in partially saturated conditions. The basic function used to describe the hydraulic partially saturated soil behavior is the nonlinear soil-water characteristic curve. A three-phase continuum formulation extended by a capillary pressure-saturation model is used to numerically investigate the influence of wheel loads on the hydraulic-mechanical interaction in partially saturated subgrade materials. Thus, saturation effects and pore water pressure accumulations, among others, can be recorded under cyclic loading. With the modeling approach calibrated on extensive experimental investigations, a validated tool is available that can be applied to numerous other problems.

description: We have studied microwave emission from a current-perpendicular-to-plane pseudo spin valve nanopillars with Heusler alloy Co2Fe(Ga0.5Ge0.5) electrodes. Large emission amplitude exceeding 150 nV/Hz^0.5, partly owing to the large magnetoresistance, and narrow generation linewidth below 10 MHz are observed. We also find that the linewidth shows significant dependence on the applied field magnitude and its angle within the film plane. A minimum in the linewidth is observed when the slope of the frequency versus current becomes near zero. This agrees with theoretical prediction that takes into account non-linear phase noise as a source for linewidth broadening.

Exposure to these substances has been linked to a variety of child chronic health conditions, including spontaneous abortions, congenital defects, neurodevelopmental disorders, reproductive dysfunctions, endocrine dysfunction, and cancers. Because of this, governments have the responsibility to restrict exposures to these substances to ensure that intake is not unsafe. Governments have utilized a risk assessment process to determine what levels of exposure are considered safe. The interpretation of the results of this process, however, has differed depending on which theory has been selected – the risk-based approach or the hazard-based approach. The risk-based approach attempts to avoid unacceptable risks through the quantification of exposure and harm. The hazard-based approach, aims to avoid exposures that result in significant harm and minimize all other exposures. The difference between the two is that the risk-based approach is focused on controlling the risk while the hazard-based approach completely removes the most caustic substances. This thesis explores the impact the selected risk assessment approach may have on tolerances and standards set for children’s exposures to environmental pollutants. The thesis will examine two case studies: (1) pesticide standards and (2) chemical standards. The United States and Canada have chosen to use a risk-based approach to determine acceptable risks from exposure. The European Union has utilized a hazard-based approach to set permissible exposure levels. This thesis will argue that the hazard-based approach is preferable for children’s health and protection. Since there are a great many unknowns regarding how toxic exposure impacts children’s health it is safer to avoid those chemicals which may negatively affect children’s health rather than attempt to control the risk at a “safe” level. The thesis will: (1) present information on what is known about health and toxic exposure, (2) illustrate that international efforts have failed to address environmental health, (3) discuss the differences between the two approaches to pesticide and chemical policies, and (4) provide policy recommendations.

description: Probiotics are effective in enhancing the diversity and health of the microbiome in pregnant women. Giving probiotics prenatally is an important way for mothers to safeguard their health during their pregnancy as well as the health of their babies. With constipation and diarrhea being the two frequently experienced common discomforts during pregnancy, the use of probiotics during pregnancy can help alleviate these problems. Due to the low risk of probiotic-induced bacteremia and fungemia, probiotics are unlikely to reach the fetus' systemic circulation and cause harm.

description: Commercial and recreational fishing are important to the economy and culture of Hawaii. The deep-slope bottomfish commercial fishery preferentially targets seven high value 'Deep-7' species (i.e, six snappers and one grouper, hereafter referred to as bottomfish). The NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Stock Assessment Program is responsible for regularly conducting assessments of bottomfish. The stock assessment process requires reliable time-series of catches, fishing effort and life history demographics to estimate stock abundance trends and evaluate sustainability benchmarks. Current bottomfish stock assessments that rely solely on fishery-dependent abundance indices may be biased (Ault et al., 2014). A series of workshops convened in 2001-2005 evaluated existing bottomfish stock assessment methodologies in the Pacific Islands Region (PIR; Mace et al., 2001; Ralston et al., 2004). Mace et al. (2001) noted that the greatest impediment to credible bottomfish stock assessments was the lack of accurate and precise input data. To improve abundance estimates, Ralston et al. (2004) recommended development of a fishery-independent survey using available 'advanced technologies'. A 2005 workshop on Ecosystem Science and Management Planning reiterated the pressing need for a design and implementation of population-level fishery-independent survey to obtain size-structured abundance data for bottomfish, and to aggressively pursue development of length-based assessment models. This goal of this technical report was to improve stock assessments through optimal design and implementation of a bottomfish fishery-independent survey for the Deep-7 bottomfish complex in the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) with three primary objectives: 1. Evaluate the most effective survey gears for obtaining species-specific spatial size structured abundance metrics of the Hawaiian bottomfish stock; 2. Conduct quantitative gears intercalibration studies to determine the relative fishing power of the multiple gears to be used in the survey; 3. Detail the required methodologies for efficient conduct of a multi-gear fishery-independent Survey of the MHI bottomfish stocks.

description: The stationary accretion shock instability (SASI) plays a central role in modern simulations of the explosion phase of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe). It may be key to realizing neutrino powered explosions, and possibly links birth properties of pulsars (e.g., kick, spin, and magnetic field) to supernova dynamics. Using high-resolution magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we study the development of turbulence, and subsequent amplification of magnetic fields in a simplified model of the post-bounce core-collapse supernova environment. Turbulence develops from secondary instabilities induced by the SASI. Our simulations suggest that the development of turbulence plays an important role for the subsequent evolution of the SASI. The turbulence also acts to amplify weak magnetic fields via a small-scale dynamo.

description: A new numerical model of the nonlinear diffusive shock acceleration is presented. It is used for modeling of particle acceleration in supernova remnants. The model contains coupled spherically symmetric hydrodynamic equations and the transport equations for energetic protons, ions and electrons. The forward and reverse shocks are included in the consideration. The spectra of cosmic rays released into interstellar medium from a supernova remnant are determined. The role of the reverse shock in the production of CR ions and positrons is discussed.

description: Quantum teleportation [1] is a quintessential prerequisite of many quantum information processing protocols [2-4]. By using quantum teleportation, one can circumvent the no-cloning theorem [5] and faithfully transfer unknown quantum states to a party whose location is even unknown over arbitrary distances. Ever since the first experimental demonstrations of quantum teleportation of independent qubits [6] and of squeezed states [7], researchers have progressively extended the communication distance in teleportation, usually without active feed-forward of the classical Bell-state measurement result which is an essential ingredient in future applications such as communication between quantum computers. Here we report the first long-distance quantum teleportation experiment with active feed-forward in real time. The experiment employed two optical links, quantum and classical, over 143 km free space between the two Canary Islands of La Palma and Tenerife. To achieve this, the experiment had to employ novel techniques such as a frequency-uncorrelated polarization-entangled photon pair source, ultra-low-noise single-photon detectors, and entanglement-assisted clock synchronization. The average teleported state fidelity was well beyond the classical limit of 2/3. Furthermore, we confirmed the quality of the quantum teleportation procedure (without feed-forward) by complete quantum process tomography. Our experiment confirms the maturity and applicability of the involved technologies in real-world scenarios, and is a milestone towards future satellite-based quantum teleportation.
