title: Compliance Rates in Overweight Subjects Following Low Sucrose and Sucrose Containing Diets
Creators: name: West, Janet Anne
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: Clinical obesity in the U.K. today is escalating despite continual attempts to reduce it (Prentice and Jebb, 1995). Compliance is central to successful weight loss and is influenced by many factors including dietary composition. It is postulated that deviations from reducing diets may be due to the exclusion of particular foods such as those containing added sucrose. Traditionally this type of sugar has been excluded from weight reducing diets and blamed as a significant contributor to obesity. However, evidence to justify the removal of it is sparse. Westenhoefer et al, (1993) suggest that the avoidance of sucrose offers no advantages in weight-reducing diets, yet it is still routinely excluded in dietetic practice. The present study compares the rates of weight loss of overweight individuals on two energy reduced diets in which the amounts of commercially added sucrose are varied.
Compliance may also be affected by behavioural Actors. Attitudes and beliefs about different foods are important determinants as to whether a particular food is consumed (Shepherd, 1989) and therefore, whether prescribed diets are adhered to.
The present crossover study evaluated compliance rates, weight loss and dietary beliefs of subjects on two isoenergetic energy reduced diets, containing quantifiable differences in added sucrose. Sixty-eight subjects were randomly allocated to either a Low Sucrose Diet (LSD, providing no more than 5% energy from added sucrose) or a Sucrose Containing Diet (SCD, providing 10% energy from added sucrose) for eight weeks and then switched to the alternate diet for 8 weeks. A questionnaire to explore attitudes and beliefs towards the diet was completed at weeks 0, 8 and 16. Weight was measured every fortnight and food record diaries were completed at baseline and weeks 2, 4 and 8 of each diet.
Weight loss at eight weeks was 2.2kg (LSD) and 3.0kg (SCD). During weeks 9-16 minimal weight loss occurred. Interpretation of nutrient data after "switch over" was not possible due to under-reporting. Added sucrose levels at week 8 were 5% (LSD) and 9.0% (SCD) energy. Fat was lower on the SCD than on the LSD at this time. Both groups had positive attitudes towards reducing sucrose in their diets.
In conclusion, weight loss can occur on a weight reducing diet which contains added sucrose. However preexisting negative attitudes towards the inclusion of added sucrose and foods containing it could create barriers to compliance using this approach.

description: In this paper we consider a telegraph equation with time-dependent coefficients, governing the persistent random walk of a particle moving on the line with a time-varying velocity $c(t)$ and changing direction at instants distributed according to a non-stationary Poisson distribution with rate $λ(t)$. We show that, under suitable assumptions, we are able to find the exact form of the probability distribution. We also consider the space-fractional counterpart of this model, finding the characteristic function of the related process. A conclusive discussion is devoted to the potential applications to run-and-tumble models.

description: Ultra-Light Axion-like Particle (ULAP) is motivated as one of the solutions to the small scale problems in astrophysics. When such a scalar particle oscillates with an $\mathcal{O}(1)$ amplitude in a potential shallower than quadratic, it can form a localized dense object, oscillon. Because of its longevity due to the approximate conservation of the adiabatic invariant, it can survive up to the recent universe as redshift $z \sim \mathcal{O}(10)$. The scale affected by these oscillons is determined by the ULAP mass $m$ and detectable by observations of 21cm line. In this paper, we examine the possibility to detect ULAP by 21cm line and find that the oscillon can enhance the signals of 21cm line observations when $m \lesssim 10^{-19}\ {\rm eV}$ and the fraction of ULAP to dark matter is much larger than $10^{-2}$ depending on the form of the potential.

description: We update the best constraints on fluctuations in the solar medium deep within the solar Radiative Zone to include the new SNO-salt solar neutrino measurements. We find that these new measurements are now sufficiently precise that neutrino oscillation parameters can be inferred independently of any assumptions about fluctuation properties. Constraints on fluctuations are also improved, with amplitudes of 5% now excluded at the 99% confidence level for correlation lengths in the range of several hundred km. Because they are sensitive to correlation lengths which are so short, these solar neutrino results are complementary to constraints coming from helioseismology.

description: In this letter we present constraints on the scale-dependent "local" type primordial non-Gaussianity, which is described by non-Gaussianity's spectral index $n_{\rm NG}$, from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey and the quasar catalog of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 6, together with the SDSS Data Release 12 photo-z sample. Here, we use the auto-correlation analyses of these three probes and their cross-correlation analyses with the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature map, and obtain the tight constraint on the spectral index: $n_{\rm NG}=0.2 ^{+0.7}_{-1.0}$ ($1\,σ$ C.L.), which shows the first competitive constraint on the running of non-Gaussianity from current large-scale structure clustering data. Furthermore, we also perform the forecast calculations and improve the limit of $n_{\rm NG}$ using the future Euclid mission, and obtain the standard deviation at 68\% confidence level: $Δn_{\rm NG}=1.74$ when considering the fiducial value $f_{\rm NL}=3$, which provides the complementary constraining power to those from the CMB bispectrum information.

description: The 21st century is an era characterized by rapid change. Technological advances, along with other factors, have contributed to the globalization of our society and our economy on an unprecedented scale. However, while our society is visibly changing, our classrooms,in many cases, do not appear to reflect these changes. This paper examines the increased need within our society for higher level thinking skills. The research reveals that a focus on information literacy could provide these foundational skills that are greatly needed to thrive in a constantly changing environment. This paper further examines the meaning of information literacy, its role in education and the terms associated with it, including information technology. Information literacy has evolved in order to meet the demands of an information abundant society and is being recognized as an education for the 21st century.

description: The observational constraints on the primordial power spectrum have tightened considerably with the release of the first year analysis of the WMAP observations, especially when combined with the results from other CMB experiments and galaxy redshift surveys. These observations allow us to constrain the physics of cosmological inflation: (i) The data show that the Hubble distance is almost constant during inflation. While observable modes cross the Hubble scale, it changes by less than 3% during one e-folding: d(d_H)/dt < 0.032 at 2 sigma. The distance scale of inflation itself remains poorly constrained: 1.2 x 10^{-28} cm < d_H < 1 cm. (ii) We present a new classification of single-field inflationary scenarios (including scenarios beyond slow-roll inflation), based on physical criteria, namely the behaviour of the kinetic and total energy densities of the inflaton field. The current data show no preference for any of the scenarios. (iii) For the first time the slow-roll assumption could be dropped from the data analysis and replaced by the more general assumption that the Hubble scale is (almost) constant during the observable part of inflation. We present simple analytic expressions for the scalar and tensor power spectra for this very general class of inflation models and test their accuracy.

description: We present a general systematic approach to design robust and high-fidelity quantum logic gates with Raman qubits using the technique of composite pulses. We use two mathematical tools -- the Morris-Shore and Majorana decompositions -- to reduce the three-state Raman system to an equivalent two-state system. They allow us to exploit the numerous composite pulses designed for two-state systems by extending them to Raman qubits. We construct the NOT, Hadamard, and rotation gates by means of the Morris-Shore transformation with the same uniform approach: sequences of pulses with the same phases for each gate but different ratios of Raman couplings. The phase gate is constructed by using the Majorana decomposition. All composite Raman gates feature very high fidelity, beyond the quantum computation benchmark values, and significant robustness to experimental errors. All composite phases and pulse areas are given by analytical formulas, which makes the method scalable to any desired accuracy and robustness to errors.

Here we prove a corresponding trace formula associated with Neumann eigenvalues. In addition we investigate Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues of such operators. In particular, using the Dirichlet and Neumann trace formulas we provide detailed information on location of the Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues for the model operator with the potential $Ke^{2ix}$, where $K\in\mathbb{C}$.

description: Quantum annealers have been designed to propose near-optimal solutions to NP-hard optimization problems. However, the accuracy of current annealers such as the ones of D-Wave Systems, Inc., is limited by environmental noise and hardware biases. One way to deal with these imperfections and to improve the quality of the annealing results is to apply a variety of pre-processing techniques such as spin reversal (SR), anneal offsets (AO), or chain weights (CW). Maximizing the effectiveness of these techniques involves performing optimizations over a large number of parameters, which would be too costly if needed to be done for each new problem instance. In this work, we show that the aforementioned parameter optimization can be done for an entire class of problems, given each instance uses a previously chosen fixed embedding. Specifically, in the training phase, we fix an embedding E of a complete graph onto the hardware of the annealer, and then run an optimization algorithm to tune the following set of parameter values: the set of bits to be flipped for SR, the specific qubit offsets for AO, and the distribution of chain weights, optimized over a set of training graphs randomly chosen from that class, where the graphs are embedded onto the hardware using E. In the testing phase, we estimate how well the parameters computed during the training phase work on a random selection of other graphs from that class. We investigate graph instances of varying densities for the Maximum Clique, Maximum Cut, and Graph Partitioning problems. Our results indicate that, compared to their default behavior, substantial improvements of the annealing results can be achieved by using the optimized parameters for SR, AO, and CW.

description: Coulomb interaction is of central importance in localized energy levels (bound states) or electronic flat bands and could result in many exotic quantum phases, such as magnetic, superconducting, and topological phases in graphene systems1-14. In graphene monolayer, the relativistic massless Dirac fermion nature of the charge carriers enables us to realize unprecedented quasibound states, which are trapped temporarily via whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) with the lifetime (trapping time) of ~ 10 fs, in circular graphene quantum dots (GQDs)15-20. Here we show that Coulomb interaction still plays a dominating role in determining the electronic properties of the temporarily-confined quasibound states. Our scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) measurements demonstrate that the discrete quasibound state in a GQD will split into two peaks when it is partially filled. The energy separation of the two split peaks increases linear with inverse effective radius of the GQDs, indicating that the splitting arises from the Coulomb interaction. Moreover, we show that the real space distribution of the two split states separates in different regions of the GQD to reduce the Coulomb interaction, leading to the breaking of the WGM of the quasibound states.

description: We study the gas kinematics of a sample of six isolated gas-rich low surface brightness galaxies, of the class called ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). These galaxies have recently been shown to be outliers from the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR), as they rotate much slower than expected given their baryonic mass, and to have baryon fractions similar to the cosmological mean. By means of a 3D kinematic modelling fitting technique, we show that the HI in our UDGs is distributed in "thin" regularly rotating discs and we determine their rotation velocity and gas velocity dispersion. We revisit the BTFR adding galaxies from other studies. We find a previously unknown trend between the deviation from the BTFR and the disc scale length valid for dwarf galaxies with circular speeds < 45 km/s, with our UDGs being at the extreme end. Based on our findings, we suggest that the high baryon fractions of our UDGs may originate due to the fact that they have experienced weak stellar feedback, likely due to their low star formation rate surface densities, and as a result they did not eject significant amounts of gas out of their discs. At the same time, we find indications that our UDGs may have higher-than-average stellar specific angular momentum, which can explain their large optical scale lengths.

description: Progressive digitalization is changing the game of many industrial sectors. Focus-ing on product quality the main profitability driver of this so-called Industry 4.0 will be the horizontal integration of information over the complete supply chain. Therefore, the European RFCS project 'Quality4.0' aims in developing an adap-tive platform, which releases decisions on product quality and provides tailored information of high reliability that can be individually exchanged with customers. In this context Machine Learning will be used to detect outliers in the quality data. This paper discusses the intermediate project results and the concepts developed so far for this horizontal integration of quality information.
Available energy of magnetically confined plasmas

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The concept of available energy of a collisionless plasma is discussed in the context of magnetic confinement. The available energy quantifies how much of the plasma energy can be converted into fluctuations (including nonlinear ones) and is thus a measure of plasma stability, which can be used to derive linear and nonlinear stability criteria without solving an eigenvalue problem. In a magnetically confined plasma, the available energy is determined by the density and temperature profiles as well as the magnetic geometry. It also depends on what constraints limit the possible forms of plasma motion, such as the conservation of adiabatic invariants and the requirement that the transport be ambipolar. A general method based on Lagrange multipliers is devised to incorporate such constraints in the calculation of the available energy, and several particular cases are discussed. In particular, it is shown that it is impossible to confine a plasma in a Maxwellian ground state relative to perturbations with frequencies exceeding the ion bounce frequency.

Using the neo-Keynesian paradigm, this study develops a theoretical framework to assess the overall impact of changes in U.S. macroeconomic policy on the same variables via real income, interest and exchange rates, and the general price level. The analysis demonstrates that the shortrun impacts cannot be always unambiguously predicted. The direction of the impacts are shown to be crucially dependent on (1) the initial equilibrium point, (2) the extent of the linkage variable responses, and (3) relative magnitudes of price and real income elasticities of domestic demand, the real interest elasticity of domestic supply, and the price elasticity of export demand curves.

description: The relationship between glasses and gels has been intensely debated for decades; however, the transition between these two phases remains elusive. To investigate a gel formation process in the zero-temperature limit and its relation to the glass phase, we conducted numerical experiments on athermal quasistatic decompression. During decompression, the system experiences a cavitation event similar to phase separation and this is a gelation process at zero temperature. A normal mode analysis revealed that the phase separation is signaled by the vanishing of the lowest eigenenergy, similar to plastic events of glasses under shear. One primary difference from the shear-induced plasticity is that the vanishing mode experiences a qualitative change in its spatial energy distribution at the phase separation point. These findings enable us to define the glass-gel phase boundary based on mechanics.

description: We establish the connection between the presence of a glass phase and the appearance of a Coulomb gap in disordered materials with strongly interacting electrons. Treating multiparticle correlations in a systematic way, we show that in the case of strong disorder a continuous glass transition takes place whose Landau expansion is identical to that of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass. We show that the marginal stability of the glass phase controls the physics of these systems: it results in slow dynamics and leads to the formation of a Coulomb gap.

description: The average spectrum method is a promising approach for the analytic continuation of imaginary time or frequency data to the real axis. It determines the analytic continuation of noisy data from a functional average over all admissible spectral functions, weighted by how well they fit the data. Its main advantage is the apparent lack of adjustable parameters and smoothness constraints, using instead the information on the statistical noise in the data. Its main disadvantage is the enormous computational cost of performing the functional integral. Here we introduce an efficient implementation, based on the singular value decomposition of the integral kernel, eliminating this problem. It allows us to analyze the behavior of the average spectrum method in detail. We find that the discretization of the real-frequency grid, on which the spectral function is represented, biases the results. The distribution of the grid points plays the role of a default model while the number of grid points acts as a regularization parameter. We give a quantitative explanation for this behavior, point out the crucial role of the default model and provide a practical method for choosing it, making the average spectrum method a reliable and efficient technique for analytic continuation.

description: If $P(x)$ is the error term in the circle problem, then it is proved that $$\int_0^\infty P^2(x)e^{-x/T}dx = {1\over4}({T\overπ})^{3/2} \sum_{n=1}^\infty r^2(n)n^{-3/2} - T + O_ε(T^{2/3+ε}), $$ improving the author's earlier exponent 5/6. The new bound is obtained by using results of F. Chamizo on the correlated sum $\sum_{n\le x}r(n)r(n+h)$, where $r(n)$ is the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of two squares.

Beyond adaptation : using film to enchance the teaching of literature in the secondary English language arts classroom
Creators: name: Bazilewich, Andrew
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: In this paper, I will argue that the use of film in the English classroom can (and should) go beyond the showing of movies adapted from literature studied in the classroom, and instead focus on the many thematic connections-both broad and focused-between literature and film. I will begin by presenting a brief justification for the use of film in the English classroom, followed by a review of the literature-both theoretical and practical-focused on the use of film in the English classroom. I will conclude with examples from both my own practice, as well as that of my colleagues, of how film can be used on a thematic level in the teaching of literature.
Galaxy Alignments with Surrounding Structure in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

description: Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Legacy Survey, we study the alignment of luminous galaxies with spectroscopic data with the surrounding larger-scale structure as defined by galaxies with only photometric data. We find that galaxies from the red sequence have a statistically significant tendency for their apparent long axes to align parallel to the projected surrounding structure. Red galaxies more luminous than the median of our sample ($M_r < -21.78$) have a mean alignment angle $\langle Φ\rangle < 45^{\circ}$, indicating preferred parallel alignment, at a significance level $>4.5 σ$ on projected scales $0.1\,\mathrm{Mpc} < r_p \leq 7.5\,\mathrm{Mpc}$. Fainter red galaxies have $\langle Φ\rangle < 45^{\circ}$ at a significance level $>4.3σ$ at scales $1\,\mathrm{Mpc} < r_p < 3\,\mathrm{Mpc}$. At a projected scale $r_p = 3.0\,\mathrm{Mpc}$, the mean alignment angle decreases steadily with increasing luminosity for red galaxies with $M_r \lesssim -22.5$, reaching $\langle Φ\rangle = 40.49^{\circ} \pm 0.56^{\circ}$ for the most luminous one percent ($M_r \sim -23.57$). Galaxies from the blue sequence show no statistically significant tendency for their axes to align with larger-scale structure, regardless of galaxy luminosity. Galaxies in higher-density regions do not show a statistically significant difference in mean alignment angle from galaxies in lower-density regions; this holds true for the faint blue, luminous blue, faint red, and luminous red subsets.

In school and out : a closer look at new literacies
Creators: name: Lindquist, Teri M.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Educational literacy has traditionally been viewed as the development of students' basic reading and writing skills. As such, our education system and evaluation system have been developed around this definition of literacy. However, an increasing number of individuals are suggesting that other "out-of-school" or "new" literacies hold value and need to be integrated into our education system rather than continuing to be ignored. A review of the research on traditional and new literacies reveals themes of social practice, mindsets, identity, agency and authentic learning. Specifically, this review examines three key questions: What does it mean to be literate? Why do new literacies challenge the conventional school systems? Are non-traditional literacies important to the development of in school literacies and student learning? Drawing on the literature, the author provides a discussion and understanding of the importance of integrating new literacies with traditional literacies in order to help students become "fully literate".

description: The theoretical difficulties of the mean-variance (E-V) criterion are well known. A number of recent research efforts have tested the criterion's effectiveness in a publicly traded securities environment. This research explores the performance of the E-V criterion using agricultural investment opportunities. Results of this study indicate that the mean-variance criterion performs well in selecting activities which maximize expected utility. These results are consistent with results of earlier research dealing with tradeable securities.

description: Topology optimization has emerged as a popular approach to refine a component's design and increase its performance. However, current state-of-the-art topology optimization frameworks are compute-intensive, mainly due to multiple finite element analysis iterations required to evaluate the component's performance during the optimization process. Recently, machine learning (ML)-based topology optimization methods have been explored by researchers to alleviate this issue. However, previous ML approaches have mainly been demonstrated on simple two-dimensional applications with low-resolution geometry. Further, current methods are based on a single ML model for end-to-end prediction, which requires a large dataset for training. These challenges make it non-trivial to extend current approaches to higher resolutions. In this paper, we develop deep learning-based frameworks consistent with traditional topology optimization algorithms for 3D topology optimization with a reasonably fine (high) resolution. We achieve this by training multiple networks, each learning a different step of the overall topology optimization methodology, making the framework more consistent with the topology optimization algorithm. We demonstrate the application of our framework on both 2D and 3D geometries. The results show that our approach predicts the final optimized design better (5.76x reduction in total compliance MSE in 2D; 2.03x reduction in total compliance MSE in 3D) than current ML-based topology optimization methods.
