description: We study some of the properties of the geometry of the exceptional Lie group E7(7), which describes the U-duality of the N=8, d=4 supergravity. In particular, based on a symplectic construction of the Lie algebra e7(7) due to Adams, we compute the Iwasawa decomposition of the symmetric space M=E7(7)/(SU(8)/Z_2), which gives the vector multiplets' scalar manifold of the corresponding supergravity theory. The explicit expression of the Lie algebra is then used to analyze the origin of M as scalar configuration of the "large" 1/8-BPS extremal black hole attractors. In this framework it turns out that the U(1) symmetry spanning such attractors is broken down to a discrete subgroup Z_4, spoiling their dyonic nature near the origin of the scalar manifold. This is a consequence of the fact that the maximal manifest off-shell symmetry of the Iwasawa parametrization is determined by a completely non-compact Cartan subalgebra of the maximal subgroup SL(8,R) of E7(7), which breaks down the maximal possible covariance SL(8,R) to a smaller SL(7,R) subgroup. These results are compared with the ones obtained in other known bases, such as the Sezgin-van Nieuwenhuizen and the Cremmer-Julia /de Wit-Nicolai frames.

description: Smartphones have recently gained significant popularity in heavy mobile processing while users are increasing their expectations toward rich computing experience. However, resource limitations and current mobile computing advancements hinder this vision. Therefore, resource-intensive application execution remains a challenging task in mobile computing that necessitates device augmentation. In this article, smartphone augmentation approaches are reviewed and classified in two main groups, namely hardware and software. Generating high-end hardware is a subset of hardware augmentation approaches, whereas conserving local resource and reducing resource requirements approaches are grouped under software augmentation methods. Our study advocates that consreving smartphones' native resources, which is mainly done via task offloading, is more appropriate for already-developed applications than new ones, due to costly re-development process. Cloud computing has recently obtained momentous ground as one of the major cornerstone technologies in augmenting smartphones. We present sample execution model for intensive mobile applications and devised taxonomy of augmentation approaches. For better comprehension, the results of this study are summarized in a table.

description: A better understanding of the impacts of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on emergency department (ED) visits for asthma is needed to improve asthma control. Using data from the National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP), we assessed changes in average weekly asthma ED visits in the United States in 3 surveillance periods: 1) March 15, 2020–January 2, 2021; 2) January 3, 2021–January 1, 2022; and 3) January 2–March 5, 2022, relative to pre-pandemic comparison periods between December 30, 2018 and December 28, 2019. For each surveillance period, we assessed changes in asthma ED visits by age group and sex. For the surveillance period beginning March 15, 2020, average weekly asthma ED visits declined 31% relative to what was observed during the comparison period – that is, from 45,276 visits/week in 2019 to 31,374 visits/week in 2020. Declines of over 19% and 26% were observed for 2021 and 2022, respectively, relative to the comparison periods. In all surveillance periods, the largest declines occurred among children, especially those ages 0–4 (74%) and 5–11 (66%) years. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted asthma ED visits in the United States. The impact was greater among children than adults, as ED visits among children were notably lower during all three pandemic surveillance periods than during the corresponding pre-pandemic periods. Additional information about the roles of behaviors of patients with asthma and changes in asthma care might improve our understanding of the reasons underlying these observed changes.

We focus on paramagnetic states which arise for disorder strengths Δ> Δc, where Δc is the critical disorder strength at T = 0. These paramagnetic states consist of correlated "domains" of up and down spins which are separated by rough, fractal interfaces. They show novel scattering properties with a cusp singularity in the correlation function at short distances.

description: Objective: Increased health literacy (HL) improves the management of chronic diseases. Data on the HL levels of adolescents with asthma are limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate the HL levels of adolescents with asthma and the effect of HL levels on asthma control. Methods: Our research included 81 adolescents with asthma and 47 age and sex-matched controls. The validated version of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16) was utilized to estimate the participants’ health literacy levels. In addition, the Asthma Control Test (ACT) was used to determine the degree of asthma control. Results: No significant difference between the asthmatic adolescents (n = 45, 55.6%) and the control group (n = 28, 59.6%) has been established in terms of the number of participants who were considered to have adequate HL (p = 0.658). The difference between the patient and control groups in health care, disease prevention, health promotion, and overall HL scores was determined non-significant. According to the ACT scores, the overall median HL score was significantly higher in patients with controlled asthma {34.4 (14.6:50)} than in those with uncontrolled asthma {32.3 (16.7:48.9)} (p = 0.037). It was determined that there was a difference in the distribution of controlled asthma, uncontrolled asthma, and controls in HL subgroups (poor, problematic-limited, sufficient, and perfect HL) (p = 0.002). Conclusion: The level of HL is associated with asthma control. A significant proportion of asthmatic adolescents who participated in our research displayed low HL scores. Further studies should be conducted to increase the HL levels of adolescents to achieve better asthma control.

description: We present a comprehensive catalog of 700 confirmed star clusters in the field of M31 compiled from three major existing catalogs. We detect 418 and 257 star clusters in Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) near-ultraviolet (NUV) and far-ultraviolet (FUV) imaging, respectively. Our final catalog includes photometry of star clusters in up to 16 passbands ranging from FUV to NIR as well as ancillary information such as reddening, metallicity, and radial velocities. In particular, this is the most extensive and updated catalog of UV integrated photometry for M31 star clusters. Ages and masses of star clusters are derived by fitting the multi-band photometry with model spectral energy distribution (SED); UV photometry enables more accurate age estimation of young clusters. Our catalog includes 182 young clusters with ages less than 1 Gyr. Our estimated ages and masses of young clusters are in good agreement with previously determined values in the literature. The mean age and mass of young clusters are about 300 Myr and 10^4 M_sun, respectively. We found that the compiled [Fe/H] values of young clusters included in our catalog are systematically lower (by more than 1 dex) than those from recent high-quality spectroscopic data and our SED fitting result. We confirm that most of the young clusters kinematics show systematic rotation around the minor axis and association with the thin disk of M31. The young clusters distribution exhibits a distinct peak in the M31 disk around 10 - 12 kpc from the center and follow a spatial distributions similar to other tracers of disk structure such as OB stars, UV star-forming regions, and dust. Some young clusters also show concentration around the ring splitting regions found in the southern part of the M31 disk and most of them have systematically younger (< 100 Myr) ages.

description: This investigation discusses the design criteria of pressure vessels in different industrial countries to help engineers to understand the problems in working to an international standard. Most industrial countries have their own national standards (codes) of boilers and pressure vessels. Other countries adopt one of these codes for their own use. During the evaluation and development of boiler, piping, and pressure vessel codes, technical groups concerned in general, have adopted a primary goal of developing a set of rules that will assure public safety and reflect the many technological and economic factors of their environment. By adopting this goal, the codes have provided some protection against the different failure modes that must be considered by the pressure vessel designer, manufacturer, and user. In reviewing criteria for pressure vessel design, the investigation first introduces the basic theoretical formulae for thin and thick wall cylindrical shells under internal and external pressures. Also, the influence of design criteria on the economics as well as safety and reliability is considered. In the second part of the investigation, the scope, application and design philosophy of the national codes in Canada, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and France are considered. The final section summarizes the national and international work which was done and is still in progress to tighten the widely varying views on some design factors.

description: In asthma, suppression of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) is a marker of adherence in the short-term. The usefulness of FENO to indicate change in adherence in the longer term is unknown. The aims of this study were to determine the relationship between changes in adherence and corresponding changes in FENO over short (1 week) and long-term (3 month) periods. After establishing initial ICS adherence using electronic inhaler monitor (EIM) devices, reminders were switched on for 1 week (‘short-term’) to optimize adherence. Reminders were then switched off and patients followed up after 3 months (‘long-term’). FENO was measured at the start and end of each period. Using linear regression, we analyzed change in FENO in relation to change in adherence. Forty-two patients contributed complete data for analysis. In the short-term, change in adherence was independently associated with change in FENO (β = -0.36, p = 0.036) even after adjusting for initial adherence and ICS dose. The higher the initial FENO, the greater the decline in FENO with improved adherence. This relationship between change in adherence and change in FENO was not observed in the long-term. Change in adherence over 1 week following the use of EIM reminders independently predicted change in FENO. This relationship was not maintained at 3 months.

description: Traditional computers work with finite numbers. Situations where the usage of infinite or infinitesimal quantities is required are studied mainly theoretically. In this paper, a recently introduced computational methodology (that is not related to the non-standard analysis) is used to work with finite, infinite, and infinitesimal numbers \textit{numerically}. This can be done on a new kind of a computer - the Infinity Computer - able to work with all these types of numbers. The new computational tools both give possibilities to execute computations of a new type and open new horizons for creating new mathematical models where a computational usage of infinite and/or infinitesimal numbers can be useful. A number of numerical examples showing the potential of the new approach and dealing with divergent series, limits, probability theory, linear algebra, and calculation of volumes of objects consisting of parts of different dimensions are given.

description: Breath-actuated inhalers (BAIs) are gaining attention in the management of obstructive airway diseases (OADs). In Nepal, a BAI containing fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (FPS) has been available for a year. This survey is aimed at determining the perception and experience of physicians in Nepal concerning BAIs. A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey was conducted. A total of 141 physicians participated and filled the survey. Most physicians felt that the right device should be easy to teach, learn and remember. They considered coordination and multiple steps as the primary challenges with pressurized metered-dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers, respectively. Most of them agreed that BAIs could address these challenges. BAIs were not only preferred by most of the physicians for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease but were also the preferred choice in newly diagnosed patients. Physicians believed that if current patients were shifted to BAIs, it could improve inhalation technique (88%) and compliance/adherence (81%). Almost all of them (92–97%) agreed that teaching the breathing technique and the cleaning process was easier and faster in BAIs. BAIs were considered easy and simple to use. Also, BAI’s dose-counter helps patients to increase adherence to inhalation therapy. In this INTROSPECT survey, physicians in Nepal believed that BAIs could address the key challenges faced with using pMDIs and DPIs in asthma and COPD patients.

description: Neben den Gütermärkten für gedruckte Bücher, E-Books oder auch für Online-Zugangsrechte zu Texten und Informationen gehören zum Literaturmarkt u.a. der Markt für Nutzungsrechte an literarischen Werken. Im weiteren Sinn gehören zum Buchmarkt auch Märkte für Verlagsdienstleistungen, Herstellung und Vertrieb bzw. Bereitstellung von Büchern bzw. Texten. Während auf diesen Märkten in der Regel Geld den Besitzer wechselt, spielt für den literarischen Markt im weiteren Sinn auch die Ökonomie der Aufmerksamkeit eine zentrale Rolle und beeinflusst den Marktwert der Güter, die auf Literaturmärkten gehandelt werden, erheblich. Auf den verschiedenen Marktstufen ergeben sich jeweils Notwendigkeiten für eine rechtliche Regulierung, die ggf. für den Markteintritt und die Wettbewerbschancen verschiedener Anbieter sowie für die Produktion und die Zugänglichkeit von Literatur relevant wird.
description: This article discusses literary markets and related subjects from the different perspectives of book studies, literary studies, economics and competititon law. Literary markets, broadly construed, comprise the book trade, markets for copyrights in works of literature and for online access rights, but also the competition among authors and publishers in the 'attention economy' which considerably affects the market value of the goods traded in literary markets. Legal market regulations and business agreements contribute decisively to enabling the production, distribution and accessibility of (certain kinds of) literature, but they also rule out certain kinds of texts or distribution channels.

description: We have obtained high resolution optical spectroscopy of 10 reddened O-type stars with UVES at VLT to search for interstellar bands of the naphthalene cation (C$_{10}$H$_{8}$$^+$) in the intervening clouds. No absorption features were detected near the laboratory strongest band of this cation at 6707 Åexcept for star HD 125241 (O9 I). Additional bands in the optical spectrum of this star appear to be consistent with other transitions of this cation. Under the assumption that the bands are caused by naphthalene cations we derive a column density N$_{Np^+}$ = (1.2$\pm$ 0.3) x 10 $^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$ similar to the column density claimed in the Perseus complex star Cernis 52 (Iglesias-Groth et al. 2008). The strength ratio of the two prominent diffuse interstellar bands at 5780 and 5797 Åsuggests the presence of a $σ$-type cloud in the line of sight of HD 125241.

description: This dissertation examines the influence of Hermeticism and alchemy on language reform, poetry and prose in seventeenth century England. It traces the Platonic and Nee-platonic background to magic and the function of language and metaphor. Language exists and is used not simply in a nominalist sense, but in a figurative manner. Plato, Plotinus, the Florentine Neo-platonists and the Hermetica all point to a via verborum by which words are used to show the inherent unity of man and nature with God. The Hermetica is most important because it stresses the divinity of language, both the Creative Logos and man's reciprocal words to nature and a fructifying God. Language, metaphor, becomes the means to a cosmic unity. This metaphoric unity is essential to alchemy, for it too is primarily a religious endeavour. The process within the alembic duplicates and participates in the primal Creation. Part of that process is accomplished through the alchemical symbols which, when united in the Hermetic vessel, also share in divinity. John Dee's Monad is an English example of this. Symbolic characters take on the characteristics inherent in whatever they represent. Hence sign and thing become inseparable. God's original word is recoverable in some manner. The Royal Society's original Fellows were primarily interested in alchemy as a science and religion, as were its language reformers. John Wilkins' Real Character and Philosophical Language employs characters in much the same way as alchemical symbols as metaphors for God. The character which shows a thing's inherent nature depends upon the character for God. The Royal Society's call for a plain style did not, in reality, mean the dismissal of metaphor. It meant a change in the use of metaphor from gilded speech to essential meaning which properly united man, nature and God. Metaphysical and Augustan poets and essayists shared many of the same themes and concerns. The demonstration of a unifying language was one. Hermeticism was another. Henry Vaughan, Thomas Traherne, Andrew Marvell and John Dryden all show a synthesis of language and Hermeticism in their writings. They all employ Hermetic language as essential metaphor to properly show man's relationship with nature and God. Seemingly split, the two schools in fact share image and meaning, substance and form, word and thing.
Professional staff in education becoming more visible and knowledgeable - Connecting the dots to shed light on their community, identity, and the relations with academics

Subjects: HE context, professional staff, educational managers, visibility, engagement

description: This presentation sheds light on educational support staff - as those supporting teaching and learning, students and academics - moving from this group as one of the first investigated in a multi-campus Italian university (Unibo). Through 15 semi-structured interviews, scheduled between 2021 and 2022 to inform a training programme for staff in education, we explore their community, identity, and also their network of relations with peers and academics. This group of professionals in today’s universities has not been extensively investigated so far so it has been less visible than other professional groups; still, the group has recently increased its visibility through the European strategy for universities, now calling on universities to prioritise education, research, innovation, serving society and economy. Later on in the presentation, this professional group has been compared with research managers working at the same university, with interviews conducted between 2014 and 2018 on the same set of topics. In conclusion, educational managers feel to belong to a plethora of communities; they have their say not only on their identity and the complexity of today’s education but also on the relationships with academics, which has never been enough explored in research; and this latter topic may even become most of what they wish to discuss further in coming months. On the one hand, the visibility for these educational managers has slowly become a burning issue not only at Unibo but in the broader university community, for example within the UNA Europa Alliance (and specifically, in one of its WGs on Staff development and on Building and Professionalising the UNA community of HE Professionals-HEPs). On the other hand, the visibility of research managers has grown steadily in recent years; proof of this visibility can be found in more research done on this professional group, in two Horizon Europe projects granted and just kicked off, in the work of professional associations worldwide, and also in books, including a new global book on RMA expected in late 2023 by Emerald (The Emerald Handbook of Research Management and Administration Around the World).

description: The adsorption of thienylenevinylene oligomers on the Si(100) surface has been investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. The mode of substitution of the thiophene ring exerts a strong influence on the adsorption configurations and the images of the oligomer based on 3,4-dihexyl thiophene are highly voltage dependent. We discuss the influence of the alkyl chains on the adsorption process and on the appearance of the molecules in the STM images.

description: Recent trend of mobile computing is emerging toward executing resource-intensive applications in mobile devices regardless of underlying resource restrictions (e.g. limited processor and energy) that necessitate imminent technologies. Prosperity of cloud computing in stationary computers breeds Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) technology that aims to augment computing and storage capabilities of mobile devices besides conserving energy. However, MCC is more heterogeneous and unreliable (due to wireless connectivity) compare to cloud computing. Problems like variations in OS, data fragmentation, and security and privacy discourage and decelerate implementation and pervasiveness of MCC. In this paper, we describe MCC as a horizontal heterogeneous ecosystem and identify thirteen critical metrics and approaches that influence on mobile-cloud solutions and success of MCC. We divide them into three major classes, namely ubiquity, trust, and energy efficiency and devise a tripod of requirements in MCC. Our proposed tripod shows that success of MCC is achievable by reducing mobility challenges (e.g. seamless connectivity, fragmentation), increasing trust, and enhancing energy efficiency.

description: There exist many applications where it is necessary to approximate numerically derivatives of a function which is given by a computer procedure. In particular, all the fields of optimization have a special interest in such a kind of information. In this paper, a new way to do this is presented for a new kind of a computer -- the Infinity Computer -- able to work numerically with finite, infinite, and infinitesimal numbers. It is proved that the Infinity Computer is able to calculate values of derivatives of a higher order for a wide class of functions represented by computer procedures. It is shown that the ability to compute derivatives of arbitrary order automatically and accurate to working precision is an intrinsic property of the Infinity Computer related to its way of functioning. Numerical examples illustrating the new concepts and numerical tools are given.

description: Data security is one of the most crucial and a major challenge in the digital world. Security, privacy and integrity of data are demanded in every operation performed on internet. Whenever security of data is discussed, it is mostly in the context of secure transfer of data over the unreliable communication networks. But the security of the data in databases is also as important. In this paper we will be presenting some of the common security techniques for the data that can be implemented in fortifying and strengthening the databases.

description: In this work a method is presented to derive the generating functional in path integral form for a system with an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom and constrained by general conditions. The method is applied to the case of the dynamics of an inextensible chain subjected to external forces. Next, the generating functional of the inextensible chain is computed assuming that the interactions are switched off. Finally, the generating functional of a two dimensional nonlinear sigma model with O(3) symmetry is derived exploiting its similarities with the model describing the dynamics of the inextensible chain.

description: Let $p,q$ positive integers. The groups $U_p(\b C)$ and $U_p(\b C)\times U_q(\b C) $ act on the Heisenberg group $H_{p,q}:=M_{p,q}(\b C)\times \b R$ canonically as groups of automorphisms where $M_{p,q}(\b C)$ is the vector space of all complex $p\times q$-matrices. The associated orbit spaces may be identified with $Π_q\times \b R$ and $Ξ_q\times \b R$ respectively with the cone $Π_q$ of positive semidefinite matrices and the Weyl chamber $Ξ_q={x\in\b R^q: x_1\ge...\ge x_q\ge 0}$. In this paper we compute the associated convolutions on $Π_q\times \b R$ and $Ξ_q\times \b R$ explicitly depending on $p$. Moreover, we extend these convolutions by analytic continuation to series of convolution structures for arbitrary parameters $p\ge 2q-1$. This leads for $q\ge 2$ to continuous series of noncommutative hypergroups on $Π_q\times \b R$ and commutative hypergroups on $Ξ_q\times \b R$. In the latter case, we describe the dual space in terms of multivariate Laguerre and Bessel functions on $Π_q$ and $Ξ_q$. In particular, we give a non-positive product formula for these Laguerre functions on $Ξ_q$. The paper extends the known case $q=1$ due to Koornwinder, Trimeche, and others as well as the group case with integers $p$ due to Faraut, Benson, Jenkins, Ratcliff, and others. Moreover, it is closely related to product formulas for multivariate Bessel and other hypergeometric functions of Rösler.
National Association of Women Artists 65th Annual Exhibition, May 9 - May 26, 1957
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1957

description: The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) was established in 1889 and is the oldest professional women's fine arts organization in the United States. NAWA's mission is to promote awareness of, and interest in, visual art created by women in the United States. As part of this effort NAWA holds an annual exhibition of works by members of the association and publishes an exhibition catalog to accompany or commemorate the annual exhibitions. These catalogs not only function as an exhibition catalog, but also as a document that summarizes the structure, membership, and activities of the association.Information that can be found in these catalogs includes lists of officers, members of the executive board and committees, prize winners, lists of exhibitor and members, and images of some of the artwork exhibited. Catalogs from the 2000s also include information on NAWA events and activities beyond the annual exhibition.Please note that the numbering of the annual catalogs was adjusted in 1960 and again in 1971. For example, NAWA designated the annual exhibition in 1960 as the 70th Anniversary Exhibition after 1959 was the 67th Annual Exhibition. These adjustments appear to have been made to reflect the date of the founding of the association, so that, by 1989, the annual exhibition commemorated the 100-year anniversary of the founding of NAWA in 1889.

description: A pi-conjugated {C}3h-oligomer involving three dithienylethylene branches bridged at the meta positions of a central benzenic core has been synthesized and deposited either on the Si(100) surface or on the HOPG surface. On the silicon surface, scanning tunneling microscopy allows the observation of isolated molecules. Conversely, by substituting the thiophene rings of the oligomers with alkyl chains, a spontaneous ordered film is observed on the HOPG surface. As the interaction of the oligomers is different with both surfaces, the utility of the Si(100) surface to characterize individual oligomers prior to their use into a 2D layer is discussed.
