description: Secondary reactions induced by relativistic beams in inverse kinematics in a thick target are relevant in several fields of experimental physics and technology, like secondary radioactive beams, production of exotic nuclei close to the proton drip line, and cross-section measurements for applications of spallation reactions for energy production and incineration of nuclear wastes. A general mathematical formulation is presented and successively applied as a tool to disentangle the primary reaction yields from the secondary production in the measurement of fission of a 238U projectile impinging on a proton target at the energy of 1 A GeV.

description: Systems of interacting charges and fields are ubiquitous in physics. Recently, it has been shown that Hamiltonians derived using different gauges can yield different physical results when matter degrees of freedom are truncated to a few low-lying energy eigenstates. This effect is particularly prominent in the ultra-strong coupling regime. Such ambiguities arise because transformations reshuffle the partition between light and matter degrees of freedom and so level truncation is a gauge dependent approximation. To avoid this gauge ambiguity, we redefine the electromagnetic fields in terms of potentials for which the resulting canonical momenta and Hamiltonian are explicitly unchanged by the gauge choice of this theory. Instead the light/matter partition is assigned by the intuitive choice of separating an electric field between displacement and polarisation contributions. This approach is an attractive choice in typical cavity quantum electrodynamics situations.

description: The UBC Free Store is a volunteer effort that aims to sustainably develop and diversify the campus economy. The ability for customers to obtain for free the donated goods serves to redirect these goods more effectively in terms of need and scarcity. Another objective of the store is to reduce waste. Lastly, the operation augments the climate of trade at UBC, and equips students, faculty and visitors with an option beyond maximizing profit. In light of this intention and statistics gathered in the investigation, the qualitative estimate can be made that the existence of a Free Store on UBC campus carries positive externalities. The context of the investigation is that of a very young project; the “infrastructure” of the organization is in its infancy in terms of permanent residence, volunteer numbers, reputation, and support. The goals included trying to build these fundamental parameters by providing recommendations based on evidence from an engineering perspective. Statistics gathered on the preceding topics, as well as field trips to existing stores were conducted. Research into existing free stores’ models of sustainability were compared with what is feasible for the UBC group to implement. A list of recommendations was compiled in summary of the potential additions the results of the investigation suggest are feasible. The critical suggestions being towards furthering the awareness of the program through advertising, events, and other forms of community involvement, including mutual endorsement with other sustainable programs in the school. Some examples of this include become affiliated with student teams or other lines of funding, which will hopefully provide this group with the agency to sustain their organization. Recommendations were made towards some of the group’s internal organization based on other free store models. Lastly, a way in which this group can utilize technology to their benefit is to employ a digital tool such as the internet. Between ledgering the content they are redirecting, advertising, linking themselves to other groups/events, or using the net as a tool to help get the things to people who need it most, there is a plenty of room for organization on this front.

description: With the broader and highly successful usage of machine learning in industry and the sciences, there has been a growing demand for Explainable AI. Interpretability and explanation methods for gaining a better understanding about the problem solving abilities and strategies of nonlinear Machine Learning, in particular, deep neural networks, are therefore receiving increased attention. In this work we aim to (1) provide a timely overview of this active emerging field, with a focus on 'post-hoc' explanations, and explain its theoretical foundations, (2) put interpretability algorithms to a test both from a theory and comparative evaluation perspective using extensive simulations, (3) outline best practice aspects i.e. how to best include interpretation methods into the standard usage of machine learning and (4) demonstrate successful usage of explainable AI in a representative selection of application scenarios. Finally, we discuss challenges and possible future directions of this exciting foundational field of machine learning.

An assessment of the interaction between cholecystokinin and the opiates within a drug discrimination procedure
Creators: name: Melton, Pamela Marie
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Cholecystokinin (CCK) has been reported to antagonize a variety of opiate-induced effects, including nociception, body shaking, thermoregulation and locomotion. Consistent with these results, a number of CCK antagonists potentiate the opiates in a range of behavioral and physiological assessments. The present study examined the interaction between CCK and the opiates within the conditioned taste aversion baseline of drug discrimination, a design that utilizes the stimulus properties of a drug to control behavior. Within this baseline, animals acquired a CCK/vehicle discrimination, drinking different levels of saccharin following the administration of CCK and the CCK vehicle. Morphine blocked, whereas naloxone (mu receptor antagonist) and MR 2266 (kappa receptor antagonist) potentiated, the stimulus properties of CCK, although discriminative control by CCK did not generalize to either naloxone or MR 2266 when administered alone. These data are thus consistent with a physiological (rather than a pharmacological) interaction between CCK and the opiates, mediated by way of mu and kappa opiate receptor subtypes. The possible underlying basis for the interaction between CCK and the opiates is discussed, as is the opiate and CCK receptor subtype mediation of the aforementioned effects.

description: We extend the four-dimensional gauged supergravity analysis of type IIB vacua on $K3\times T^2/Z_2$ to the case where also D3 and D7 moduli, belonging to N=2 vector multiplets, are turned on. In this case, the overall special geometry does not correspond to a symmetric space, unless D3 or D7 moduli are switched off. In the presence of non--vanishing fluxes, we discuss supersymmetric critical points which correspond to Minkowski vacua, finding agreement with previous analysis. Finally, we point out that care is needed in the choice of the symplectic holomorphic sections of special geometry which enter the computation of the scalar potential.

description: In the present work, we investigate the effects of short-range correlations (SRC) on the dimensionless deformability of the binary neutron system related to the GW170817 event. We implemented phenomenological SRC in a relativistic mean-field model in which the bulk parameters, namely, incompressibility ($K_0$), effective nucleon mass ratio ($m^*$), symmetry energy ($J$) and its slope ($J_0$), are independently controlled. Our results point out that the SRC favor the model to pass through the constraints, established by the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration, on the values of $Λ_{1.4}$ and on the $Λ_1\timesΛ_2$ region. We also found a clear linear correlation between $Λ_{1.4}$ with $K_0$ and $L_0$ (increasing dependence), and with $m^*$ and $J$ (decreasing dependence). Finally, we also obtained compatible numbers for $R_{1.4}$ (model with and without SRC) in comparison with recent data from the neutron star interior composition explorer mission.

description: We have produced a new conformal map of the universe illustrating recent discoveries, ranging from Kuiper belt objects in the Solar system, to the galaxies and quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This map projection, based on the logarithm map of the complex plane, preserves shapes locally, and yet is able to display the entire range of astronomical scales from the Earth's neighborhood to the cosmic microwave background. The conformal nature of the projection, preserving shapes locally, may be of particular use for analyzing large scale structure. Prominent in the map is a Sloan Great Wall of galaxies 1.37 billion light years long, 80% longer than the Great Wall discovered by Geller and Huchra and therefore the largest observed structure in the universe.

description: String geometry theory is a candidate of the non-perturbative formulation of string theory. In order to determine the string vacuum, we need to clarify how string backgrounds are described in string geometry theory. In this paper, we show that the string backgrounds are embedded in configurations of the fields of a string geometry model. Especially, we show that the configurations satisfy the equations of motion of the string geometry model if and only if the embedded string backgrounds satisfy their equations of motion. This means that classical dynamics of the string backgrounds are described as a part of classical dynamics in string geometry theory. Furthermore, we define an energy of the configurations in the string geometry model because they do not depend on the string geometry time. A string background can be determined by minimizing the energy.

description: This study compared the need for personal maintenance services as perceived by a non-random sample of 40 aged women with their personal maintenance requirements as perceived by their 40 family caregivers. The categories of personal maintenance services were (a) business or administrative services, (b) home maintenance services, (c) meal preparation services, (d) monitoring services, (e) personal care services and (f) transportation/escort services. Data were collected over a one year period using structured interview guides designed by the investigator. The Aged Woman's Personal Characteristics Interview Format (AWPC) and The Family Caregiver's Personal Characteristics Interview Format (FPCF) constructed by the author were used to gather information about the personal characteristics of the study subjects. The Personal Maintenance Needs Inventory (PMNI) was used to gather data to test the six study hypotheses. It was hypothesized that there would be differences in the extent of help needed in five out of six service areas and that there would be no difference in the sixth (transportation/escort). The t test statistic was used in hypothesis testing with the criterion for significance set at p $\leq$.05. No significant difference was found between the perceptions of the aged women and of the family caregivers regarding the need for the aggregate of services in the six personal maintenance areas. This finding leads the writer to conclude that the aged women and the family caregivers in this study were in general agreement with regard to the women's need for help with personal maintenance services.
Sensitivity of quintessence perturbations to initial conditions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Gauge invariant quintessence perturbations in the quintessence and cold dark matter (QCDM) model are investigated. For three cases of constant equation-of-state (EOS) parameter, linear scalar field potential, and supergravity scalar field potential, their perturbation evolutions have a similar dependence on EOS parameter and scale, but they have different sensitivity to the initial conditions due to the different shapes of the quintessence potential. They have a minor effect on primary CMB anisotropies, but change the secondary CMB effect in different ways. The first case is insensitive to initial quintessence perturbations and only modifies the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect within a factor of 2. The other two cases are sensitive to initial conditions at large scales and could affect the secondary CMB anisotropies drastically depending on how smooth the initial perturbations are. This makes it possible for future cosmological probes to provide constraints on quintessence properties.

description: Interaction between extended defects and impurities lies at the heart of many physical phenomena in materials science. Here we revisit the ubiquitous problem of the driven motion of an extended defect in a field of mobile impurities, which self-organize to cause drag on the defect. Under a wide range of external conditions (e.g. drive), the defect undergoes a transition from slow to fast motion. This transition is commonly hysteretic: the defect either moves slow or fast, depending on the initial condition. We explore such hysteresis via a kinetic Monte Carlo spin simulation combined with computational coarse-graining. Obtaining bifurcation diagrams (stable and unstable branches), we map behavior regimes in parameter space. Estimating fast-slow switching times, we determine whether a simulation or experiment will exhibit hysteresis depending on observation conditions. We believe our approach is applicable to quantifying hysteresis in a wide range of physical contexts.

description: Bion (benzothiadiazole) and Amistar (azoxystrobin) were used against Alternaria blight of mustard variety Agrani in the field. Chemicals were sprayed at 15 daysi interval with the doses and frequencies of Amistar @ 0.05 % (1 spray), Amistar, @ 0.1 % (1 spray), Amistar 0.05 % (2 spray), Amistar 0.1 % (2 spray) and Bion @ 0.0025 % (1 spray). The treatments showed marked effect in reducing the disease over control. Bion showed little effect in reducing the disease over control compare to Amistar. Bion and Amistar showed significant influence on plant growth characters.. Bion increased seed by 15.25 % over control. The highest seed yield (32.20 %) was obtained by spraying with Amistar @ 0.1 % (2 spray). Seeds obtained from Bion and Amistar treated plants decreased the prevalence of seed borne fungi over control. Seeds of Amistar @ 0.1 % (2 spray) treated plants decreased the highest per cent seed infection by Alternaria brassicae and A. brassicicola. Bion was found as inducer of resistance and Amistar showed good fungicidal effect in controlling Alternaria blight of mustard.
Monetary shocks and real farm prices
Creators: name: Rapach, Jr., David Eugene
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The effect of monetary policy on the farm sector is the subject of much recent research in agricultural economics. Unfortunately, studies attempting to quantify the effects of monetary disturbances on real farm prices report conflicting results: some find that positive monetary shocks increase real farm price in the short run; others detect no such effects. This dissertation offers a resolution to these conflicting findings. Versions of existing models are reestimated using a common data set. When sample periods corresponding to the original studies are used, the conflicting results are confirmed. In contrast, when samples are updated through 1993, all models supply essentially the same result: monetary shocks do not affect real farm price. However, existing empirical models have important shortcomings, To address these, the recently developed "structural" vector autoregression methodology (SVAR) is employed. Once non-monetary macroeconomic factors are accounted for in SVAR models, monetary shocks do not significantly affect real farm price. Moreover, non-monetary macro shocks--aggregate spending and supply shocks--have significant effects on real farm price.

description: Objective: Researchers are increasingly curious about the ways in which their scholarly outputs are represented in scholarly, social and mass media platforms. While many databases track citations and other scholarly metrics of impact (though their coverage differs), the options for tracking public consumption is often fragmented, and gaining a clear picture can be difficult. Methods: In this study we compare and contrast the metrics available to researchers, and how librarians can help them utilize specific resources in tracking these metrics. We discuss the complexity of gathering and maintaining these metrics. Additionally, to provide a deeper understanding of these metrics, we describe the processes by which free and subscription-based resources capture data. Lastly, we comment on strengths and common uses of these metrics, and the gaps in coverage. Results: We found the availability and quality of scholarly and alternative metrics varies depending on the resources available. Elsevier's Scopus, Thomson Reuters Web of Science, and Google Scholar are major sources of scholarly metrics, while alternative metrics are available through Altmetric, PlumX, Impactstory, and various scholarly social networking platforms. Each resource has different methods for aggregating data and making it available for librarians and researchers to use. Additionally, each  metric has common uses and strengths that should be considered when determining metrics for specific contexts. Conclusions: Scholarly and alternative metrics are increasingly being used as a proxy to measure scientific quality, collaboration, innovation and  impact. Librarians can help researchers find these metrics, and understand their common uses, while creating an awareness of how this data is captured, and  made available for use. A solid understanding of the strengths, challenges and availability helps librarians and researchers be better consumers and users of these metrics.

description: We report on the results from two BeppoSAX observations of the Z source GX 349+2 performed in February 2001 and covering the broad energy range 0.12-200 keV. The light curve obtained from these observations shows a large flaring activity, the count rate varying from ~130 to ~260 counts/s, indicating that the source was in the flaring branch during these observations. The average spectrum is well described by a soft blackbody and a Comptonized component. To well fit the energy spectrum three gaussian lines are needed at 1.2 keV, 2.6 keV, and 6.7 keV with corresponding equivalent widths of 13 eV, 10 eV, and 39 eV, probably associated to L-shell emission of Fe XXIV, Ly-alpha S XVI, and Fe XXV, respectively. These lines may be produced at different distances from the neutron star, which increase when the count rate of the source increases. An absorption edge is also needed at 9 keV with an optical depth of ~3 10^{-2}. From the Color-Color Diagram (CD) we selected five zones from which we extracted the corresponding energy spectra. The temperatures of the blackbody and of the Comptonized component tend to increase when the intensity of the source increases. We discuss our results comparing them to those obtained from a previous BeppoSAX observation, performed in March 2000, during which the source was a similar position of its Z-track. In particular we find that, although the source showed similar spectral states in the 2000 and the 2001 observations, a hard tail, that was significantly detected in March 2000, is not observed in these recent observations.

description: Forty-five soybean genotypes collected from BAU-USDA soybean research project were used to study their performance, genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for six characters viz.- days to maturity, plant height, first pod setting height, pods/plant, 100 seed weight, and seed yield/plant. Significant variations were observed among the genotypes for all the characters studied. Genotypic and phenotypic variations were highest for plant height and pods/plant. Characters like days to maturity, 100 seed weight, plant height, first pod setting height, pods/plant and seed yield/plant showed high heritability. The highest genetic advance associated with highest heritability value for plant height and pods/plant suggests a good scope for selection for these characters to increase the productivity of soybean.

description: We examine the spreading of a suspension of non-Brownian spheres suspended in a Newtonian liquid on a solid substrate. We show that the spreading dynamics is well described by the classical Cox-Voinov law provided the value of the fluid viscosity that arises in the capillary number of the problem is adjusted to a value that depends on particle size and volume fraction in a non-trivial way. We demonstrate that this behavior is a signature of the ability of the particles to approach the contact line close enough to affect dissipation.

description: A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of addition of rice straw and S on growth and yield of high yielding variety of rice (BRRI Dhan 30) under flooded condition and on post harvest soil. The experiment was undertaken on an Old Brahmaputra FlOodplain silt loam soil at BAU farm. The soil was characterized by mild acidic in reaction and in general poor in nutrient status. The treatments used in the experiment were (1) Control (-S), (2) Rice straw @ 6 t had, (3) S @ 20 kg S had and (4) Rice straw @ 6 t had and S @ 20 kg S had. Gypsum was used as the source of S. Basal fertilizers, such as urea @ 70 kg N, TSP @ 17.5 kg P, MOP @ 33.2 kg K and ZnO @ 3 kg Zn per hectare were applied along with gypsum at the time of transplanting of rice seedlings. Nitrogen was applied in three equal splits, at transplanting, maximum tillering and panicle initiation stage. The treatments were laid out in completely randomized block design with three replications of each treatment. The test crop used was HYV rice, BRRI Dhan 30. Dry matter yield of rice plants significantly increased at both maximum tillering and p*anicle initiation stage in treatment with rice straw and S applied together. There were significant increases in all yield contributing attributes of the crop except, 1000-grain weight in both rice straw and S treatments over control. Grain and straw yields of rice significantly increased due to application of rice straw and S together over the control treatment. Grain yield increase's were 11.90, 19.76 and 25.95% in rice straw, S and rice straw and S (together) treatments respectively over the control. treatment. The application of rice straw slightly decreased soil pH, while it significantly improved organic matter content, total N, exchangeable K and available S in post harvest soil.

description: The experiments were carried out on Red Terrace soil at . Madhuput farmers' field and Old .Brahmaputra Floodplain soil at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) farm to investigate the response Of placement of Nimin coated urea and urea super granules on rice. The soil at the 'experimental site at Madhupur was characterized by loam texture, strongly acidic in reaction and poor in nutrient status.. At Bangladesh Agricultural University farm, the soil was silt loam in texture and mild acidic in reaction with moderate nutrient status. Point placement of Nimin coated urea super granules produced significant yield increase of rice compared to urea applied broadcast 'without Nimin coating on both the soils. Maximum yield increases of rice were found under point placement of urea super granules coated with Nimin before briquetting in both the soils,. at Madupur farmers' field and BAU farm. Yield increases of rice grain under point placement of urea super granules coated with Nimin before briquetting were 105.52% over eontrol and 58.15% over urea applied broadcast without Nimin coating in Red terrace soil, while in Brahmaputra Floodplain soil, the yield increases were 92.75% and 55.23% respectively.

description: The finite parts of a large, locally interacting many-body system prepared out-of-equilibrium eventually equilibrate. Characterising the underlying mechanisms of this process and its timescales, however, is particularly hard as it requires to decouple universal features from observable-specific ones. Recently, new insight came by studying how certain symmetries of the dynamics that are broken by the initial state are restored at the level of the reduced state of a given subsystem. This provides a high level, observable-independent probe. Until now this idea has been applied to the restoration of internal symmetries, e.g. U(1) symmetries related to charge conservation. Here we show that that the same logic can be applied to the restoration of space-time symmetries, and hence can be used to characterise the relaxation of fully generic systems. We illustrate this idea by considering the paradigmatic example of "generic" many-body dynamics, i.e. a local random unitary circuit, where our method leads to exact results. We show that the restoration of translation symmetry in these systems only happens on time-scales proportional to the subsystem's volume. In fact, for large enough subsystems the time of symmetry restoration becomes initial-state independent (as long as the latter breaks the symmetry at time zero) and coincides with the thermalisation time. For intermediate subsystems, however, one can observe the so-called "quantum Mpemba effect", where the state of the system restores a symmetry faster if it is initially more asymmetric. We provide the first exact characterisation of this effect in a non-integrable system.

description: Fission fragments from 1 A GeV 238U projectiles irradiating a hydrogen target were investigated by using the fragment separator FRS for magnetic selection of reaction products including ray-tracing and DE-ToF techniques. The momentum spectra of 733 identified fragments were analysed to provide isotopic production cross sections, fission-fragment velocities and recoil momenta of the fissioning parent nuclei. Besides their general relevance, these quantities are also demanded for applications. Calculations and simulations with codes commonly used and recently developed or improved are compared to the data.
