description: Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a condition that greatly diminishes quality of life. Phantom motor execution (PME), enabled by myoelectric pattern recognition combined with virtual and augmented reality, is a novel treatment for PLP. Here we, aimed to describe patients’ experiences of this treatment. Qualitative, using semi-structured interviews one month after completed PME treatment. Twenty-one Swedish and Dutch patients (mean age 57, 16 males, 16 lower limb amputations) participated. The analysis followed the framework approach. The main themes were 1) treatment effects on the perception of the phantom limb, 2) living with PLP before and after treatment, and 3) facilitators and barriers to treatment. Most participants learned to control their phantom limb, perceived it more positively and as more complete. This control over the phantom limb became a tool for managing PLP. Most participants’ outlook on life and energy levels improved after treatment. Being mentally focused during treatment was important. Therapists were pivotal to the success of the treatment. Controlling the phantom limb improved their perception of it and pain management, self-agency, and quality of life. The therapists’ role was invaluable. We suggest training for patients in phantom limb control before and after amputation. Phantom limb pain is a common and chronic problem after amputation. When informing patients about the phantom limb phenomenon it is important to use positive wording and to acknowledge its existence as normal.Controlling the phantom limb is a key for the success of the phantom motor execution (PME) treatment and should therefore receive clinicians’ attention from the early stages after surgery and onwards.The role of the therapist is invaluable in teaching, supporting and coaching patients receiving PME treatment.In order to facilitate successful outcome of the PME treatment it is important to consider and reduce potential barriers to patient adherence to the treatment.

description: We present results from the "Mint" resolution DC Justice League suite of Milky Way-like zoom-in cosmological simulations, which extend our study of nearby galaxies down into the ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) regime for the first time. The mass resolution of these simulations is the highest ever published for cosmological Milky Way zoom-in simulations run to $z=0$, with initial star (dark matter) particle masses of 994 (17900) M$_\odot$, and a force resolution of 87 pc. We study the surrounding dwarfs and UFDs, and find the simulations match the observed dynamical properties of galaxies with $-3 < M_V < -19$, and reproduce the scatter seen in the size-luminosity plane for $r_h\gtrsim200$ pc. We predict the vast majority of nearby galaxies will be observable by the Vera Rubin Observatory's co-added Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). We additionally show that faint dwarfs with velocity dispersions $\lesssim5$ km/s result from severe tidal stripping of the host halo. We investigate the quenching of UFDs in a hydrodynamical Milky Way context, and find that the majority of UFDs are quenched prior to interactions with the Milky Way, though some of the quenched UFDs retain their gas until infall. Additionally these simulations yield some unique dwarfs that are the first of their kind to be simulated, e.g., an HI-rich field UFD, a late-forming UFD that has structural properties similar to Crater 2, as well as a compact dwarf satellite that has no dark matter at $z=0$.

title: Tuning Nanoparticles and Mesoporous Materials Using Simulated Acoustic Vibrations
Creators: name: Thompson, Martin
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: Nanoparticles and mesoporous materials are commonly used in chemistry for catalysis, nano-medicine and photo-catalysis. These structures, specifically CeO2 and TiO2 excel at donating oxy-gen atoms, which is why they're commonly used in catalysis. Monitoring the rate at which these particles vibrate is quite difficult, although it can be seen and tested via simulation. Simulating en-ergy via irradiation allows the particle to vibrate, which emits a frequency, similar to how we hear sound. This frequency can be thought of as an acoustic wave, where one atom in the nanoparticle hits another creating a wave of energy giving off differing frequencies. These frequencies can then be used to describe the nanoparticle or mesoporous material via Fourier transform, the Fourier plot that has the most peaks shows more imperfections in the particle, which can be used to tune the particles or check to see if there are crystallographic defects which can then be changed or poten-tially modified. Smaller nanoparticles were seen to have a higher frequency; this shows it is easier to remove oxygen from smaller nanoparticles due to overall interactions between atoms, which could be due to weaker overall bonding, the displacement of bonds, coordination and surface bonding along the planes.

description: In Brazil, the vast experience and ability for agribusiness generate reflections regarding implications of fiscal and agricultural policies on the food pricing and, consequently, on food security. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the impact of the Minimum Price Policy for Agriculture, rural credit and indirect taxes on prices of some of the more important food from the Food Basket of Porto Alegre (RS), Brazil. To this end, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to identify causal relationships between variables in the period from January/2005 to April/2011. It was observed that multiple linear regressions were statistically significant, except those estimated for coffee and wheat flour prices. Besides, the supply of products sampled tends to be elastic, considering the positive relationship between food prices and the proxies of public subsidies for agricultural production and marketing. It was perceived that changes in indirect taxes on consumption imply variations in the same direction in prices of rice, beans, milk, oil and bread. Thus, it is worth noting that the encumbrance of essential food can hamper economic access to food in the area studied. Finally, considering the moderate degree of linear association between the explanatory variables and food prices, it is suggested that these variations can also be explained by factors related directly to the productive and competitive process.
Do 9-month-old infants expect distinct words to refer to kinds?
Creators: name: Dewar, Kathryn Megan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Three experiments investigated [t]he effect of labeling on 9-month-old infants’ object representations. During familiarization, a box was opened to reveal two objects inside: either two identical objects or two different objects. Test trials followed the same procedure except, before the box was opened, the contents were described using either two distinct labels ("I see a wug! I see a dak!") or the same label twice ("I see a zav! I see a zav!"). Infants hearing different labels looked longer at two identical objects versus two different objects. This pattern was reversed when infants heard a label repeated twice. The property of shape is a salient cue to kind membership and infants may expect different-shaped objects to be marked by different labels. However, they should not have this expectation for objects that differ in a kind-independent property, like colour. A second and third experiment where different object pairs differed only in shape and colour, respectively, confirmed these predictions. These results suggest that, prior to word learning, infants may expect distinct labels to refer to distinct kinds.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The result of endodontic therapy undoubtedly depends on the qualitative sufficiency of all stages of work. The success of root canal filling is directly related to its optimal preparation. An indispensable condition is the removal of root canal contents, the determination of the working length following mechanical and medical procedures. All instruments are used step by step within the apical stenosis. When using a rotating instrument, follow its instructions. Mechanical treatment is accompanied by root canal irrigation. Radiological control is carried out according to the protocol of endodontic therapy. The treatment is completed by root canal filling and subsequent restoration of the tooth.

Keywords: Endodontic therapy, root canal, working length

Reforming the economic union : the agreement on internal trade and intergovernmental relations in Canada
Creators: name: Crandall, Erin Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Significant interest in reforming Canada’s economic union emerged in the late 1970s when businesses began pointing to barriers to interprovincial trade as negative impediments to efficiency and growth potential. The process between agreeing that reforms were necessary and their actual implementation, however, proved challenging for the federal and provincial governments and significant progress was not made until the Agreement on Internal Trade in 1995. During this time, reform attempts changed considerably both in terms of method (constitutional vs. intergovernmental agreement) and leadership (federal government vs. provinces). By reviewing past and ongoing attempts to reform the economic union, this thesis analyzes the state of intergovernmental relations and Canadian federalism more generally. This analysis will demonstrate that intergovernmental relations have become increasingly decentralized - appearing to transition to a more confederal model of collective government action. Provincial leadership, since the creation of the Council of the Federation in 2003, indicates a defacto principle of subsidiarity has developed.

description: Since the launch of the Sentinel-2 (S2) satellites, many ML models have used the data for diverse applications. The scene classification layer (SCL) inside the S2 product provides rich information for training, such as filtering images with high cloud coverage. However, there is more potential in this. We propose a technique to assess the clean optical coverage of a region, expressed by a SITS and calculated with the S2-based SCL data. With a manual threshold and specific labels in the SCL, the proposed technique assigns a percentage of spatial and temporal coverage across the time series and a high/low assessment. By evaluating the AI4EO challenge for Enhanced Agriculture, we show that the assessment is correlated to the predictive results of ML models. The classification results in a region with low spatial and temporal coverage is worse than in a region with high coverage. Finally, we applied the technique across all continents of the global dataset LandCoverNet.

description: This paper aims to analyze taxation on sugar and ethanol. Based on the payment of each tax, the potential tax burden on these products in all links of their chains in São Paulo state for the years 2000 and 2008 has been estimated. The results pointed to a potential tax burden of 23.04% of the final price of hydrous ethanol and 27.39% of the final price of crystal sugar in 2008. With the aim of measuring the importance of the exemption of some taxes on foreign sales, the article also estimates the difference in potential tax burden between ethanol exported and the one sold in the domestic market. The same is done for sugar. The difference of the tax burden on ethanol exported by the plant and ethanol sold to the domestic market is estimated at 15.65 pp. For sugar, this difference is 21.25 pp. Finally, in order to verify the evolution of the tax burden on the sugarcane industry, this paper estimates the tax burden on this sector for 2000, which was 40.08% for ethanol and 25.91% for sugar. There is an increasing burden on the sugar and a reduced burden on ethanol.
CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL METHODS OF DISINFECTION IN MODERN ENDODONTIC TREATMENT

Year: 2024

description: Scientific research in the field of clinical endodontics is limited by the complexity and often insufficient effectiveness of the treatment of dental patients with diseases of pulp and apical periodontitis. The study of microbial biofilms and methods of combating them in dentistry, especially endodontics, are not adequately represented in the dental literature. Treatment of caries complications (pulpitis and periodontitis) is one of the most difficult and high-tech challenges of modern dentistry. Primary endodontic treatment often fails, as a result of which retreatment of root canals is an important part of both general and specialized dental practice. A review of available literature sources showed that the level of success of endodontic outcomes in Europe and North America (1990–2002) dropped from 87% to 50%. In Scandinavian countries, the percentage of endodontically treated teeth with endodontic periodontitis is 25–35%. According to S.P. Sulkovskaya (RB, 2004), the prevalence of caries complications in the examined group (3180 adults from various regions of the Republic of Belarus) was 92.55 ± 1.1%, the need for endodontic treatment was 6.19 teeth per person, 2.7 teeth required primary endodontic treatment and 3.5 teeth required repeat treatment.

description: O objetivo deste trabalho é estimar uma função de oferta de exportação brasileira de açúcar utilizando a metodologia de Auto-Regressão Vetorial com identificação pelo processo de Bernanke. Os dados utilizados são do período de outubro de 1995 a dezembro de 2002. A equação especificada para avaliar os impactos de variações nas condicionantes das exportações é fundamentada em um modelo teórico que tem como pressuposto que elas se constituem, em grande parte, no excedente do mercado interno. As propriedades de integração e co-integração das séries utilizadas no modelo foram consideradas na análise. Os resultados mostram que o aumento do preço de exportação e a desvalorização cambial causam significativo aumento das exportações brasileiras. Por outro lado, um aumento da renda interna e do preço doméstico tem reflexos negativos sobre o quantum exportado. Os efeitos mais expressivos de uma mesma variação percentual nas condicionantes das exportações sobre o quantum exportado de açúcar, ocorrem no caso da variável renda interna.

description: Soft interfaces can mediate interactions between particles bound to them. The force transmitted through the surface geometry on a particle may be expressed as a closed line integral of the surface stress tensor around that particle. This contour may be deformed to exploit the symmetries present; for two identical particles, one obtains an exact expression for the force between them in terms of the local surface geometry of their mid-plane; in the case of a fluid membrane the sign of the interaction is often evident. The approach, by construction, is adapted directly to the surface and is independent of its parameterization. Furthermore, it is applicable for arbitrarily large deformations; in particular, it remains valid beyond the linear small-gradient regime.

description: A heterogeneous brittle material characterized by a random field of local toughness Kc(x) can be represented by an equivalent homogeneous medium of toughness, Keff. Homogenization refers to a process of estimating Keff from the local field Kc(x). An approach based on a perturbative expansion of the stress intensity factor along a rough crack front shows the occurrence of different regimes depending on the correlation length of the local toughness field in the direction of crack propagation. A `"weak pinning" regime takes place for long correlation lengths, where the effective toughness is the average of the local toughness. For shorter correlation lengths, a transition to "strong pinning" occurs leading to a much higher effective toughness, and characterized by a propagation regime consisting in jumps between pinning configurations.

description: We present results on a double-island single-electron transistor (DISET) operated at radio-frequency (rf) for fast and highly sensitive detection of charge motion in the solid state. Using an intuitive definition for the charge sensitivity, we compare a DISET to a conventional single-electron transistor (SET). We find that a DISET can be more sensitive than a SET for identical, minimum device resistances in the Coulomb blockade regime. This is of particular importance for rf operation where ideal impedance matching to 50 Ohm transmission lines is only possible for a limited range of device resistances. We report a charge sensitivity of 5.6E-6 e/sqrt(Hz) for a rf-DISET, together with a demonstration of single-shot detection of small (<=0.1e) charge signals on microsecond timescales.

description: We design a new technique for the distributional semantic modeling with a neural network-based approach to learn distributed term representations (or term embeddings) - term vector space models as a result, inspired by the recent ontology-related approach (using different types of contextual knowledge such as syntactic knowledge, terminological knowledge, semantic knowledge, etc.) to the identification of terms (term extraction) and relations between them (relation extraction) called semantic pre-processing technology - SPT. Our method relies on automatic term extraction from the natural language texts and subsequent formation of the problem-oriented or application-oriented (also deeply annotated) text corpora where the fundamental entity is the term (includes non-compositional and compositional terms). This gives us an opportunity to changeover from distributed word representations (or word embeddings) to distributed term representations (or term embeddings). This transition will allow to generate more accurate semantic maps of different subject domains (also, of relations between input terms - it is useful to explore clusters and oppositions, or to test your hypotheses about them). The semantic map can be represented as a graph using Vec2graph - a Python library for visualizing word embeddings (term embeddings in our case) as dynamic and interactive graphs. The Vec2graph library coupled with term embeddings will not only improve accuracy in solving standard NLP tasks, but also update the conventional concept of automated ontology development. The main practical result of our work is the development kit (set of toolkits represented as web service APIs and web application), which provides all necessary routines for the basic linguistic pre-processing and the semantic pre-processing of the natural language texts in Ukrainian for future training of term vector space models.

Die vorliegende Arbeit schlägt eine organisatorische und technische Herangehensweise für die Entwicklung von Softwaresystemen, welche unter Anderem eine Vielzahl von menschlichen Akteuren verbindet, vor. Dazu wird hADL zur Beschreibung der Struktur eingesetzt, welche zusätzlich in Kombination mit einer Prozessbeschreibungssprache die architektonische Dokumentation des Systems darstellt. Ferner wird eine Laufzeitumgebung für die Verwaltung von Ressourcen, die mittels hADL deklariert werden, vorgestellt. Zuerst wird das Design der Lösung beschrieben, anschließend wird sie anhand der Entwicklung eines beispielhaften Geschäftsprozesses ausgewertet. Die Evaluierung und kritische Würdigung erfolgen zuletzt als textuelle Argumentation.
description: With increasing level of interconnections between software users due to the ubiquity of the web, software systems are forced to include and support emergent interaction patterns to enable effective and efficient collaboration between participants, that are humans and software agents. Numerous tools exist today to simplify collaborative undertakings and integrating them into software systems imposes a challenge to software architects and developers. Further more, collaborative tools are subject to fast changes thus human-intensive software systems have to be highly adaptable. To this end, the human architecture implementation framework is proposed. It offers structural architectural documentation via hADL and can be combined with behavioural meta-models such as process description languages to provide composite means to prescribe and describe software architectures. The framework includes a runtime which offers process engine integration based on a resource model and manages architectural elements prescribed via hADL using surrogates (proxies). Additionally an architecture-driven software development approach is inherently enforced. The evaluation of the framework includes a prototype implementation of an interest-based bargaining process. A prosaic assessment of the framework is conducted and experiences during development are shared.

description: Hazai és külföldi városokat járva meglepően sok olyan látnivaló akad, ami valamilyen módon a fizikához, fizikatörténethez, vagy fizikusokhoz kapcsolható. Ezek bemutatása segítségére lehet a fizikatanárnak a fizika, illetve a fizikatörténeti órák színesítésében, sőt, időnként egy-egy fizikai törvény, vagy jelenség illusztrációja során is. Asszociációk keltésével segíthetjük a hallgatókat a fizika törvényeinek és az azokat felfedező fizikusok nevének felidézésében is. Emellett felkelthetjük az érdeklődésüket: talán saját maguk is keresnek majd ilyen típusú látnivalókat, miközben egy-egy városban sétálnak, esetleg az Interneten kereshetnek hasonló típusú látnivalókat. Olaszország északi részén, Lombardiában és Toszkánában járva, egy egész csokorra való, fizikával kapcsolatba hozható látnivalóra bukkantam. Ez a prezentáció ezeket kívánja bemutatni, a milánói dóm speciális „camera obscurájától” kezdve Pistoia városának hosszúságegységet rögzítő tábláján keresztül érdekes napórákat és képeket rejtő firenzei templomokig. --------------------------------------------------------- This presentation intends to give a scientific itinerary from Milan to Florence. Visiting national and foreign towns, we can find surprisingly large number of sights, which can be connected with physics, history of physics, or physicists. The presentation of these types of sights can help to the physics teacher in making colourful the lectures in physics or in the history of physics, even to illustrate some laws of physics. Causing associations we can help our students to call the laws and the physicists to their mind. Beside this we also can arouse their interest to look for such sights in the several countries and cities. Travelling through the north of Italy, namely Lombardy and Toscana, I found a lot of sights which can be brought to connection with physics. This presentation intends to show them from the special camera obscure of the cathedral of Milan through the table of the unit of length in Pistoia to the interesting sundials and paintings keeping in hide in some churches in Florence.

description: A simple two color selection based on B-, z-, and K- band photometry is proposed for culling galaxies at 1.4-0.2 (AB) allows to select actively star-forming galaxies at z>1.4, independently on their dust reddening. Instead, objects with BzK2.5 (AB) colors include passively evolving galaxies at z>1.4, often with spheroidal morphologies. Simple recipes to estimate the reddening, SFRs and masses of BzK-selected galaxies are derived, and calibrated on K<20 galaxies. Based on their UV (reddening-corrected), X-ray and radio luminosities, the BzK-selected star-forming galaxies with K<20 turn out to have average SFR ~ 200 Msun yr^-1, and median reddening E(B-V)~0.4. Besides missing the passively evolving galaxies, the UV selection appears to miss some relevant fraction of the z~2 star-forming galaxies with K<20, and hence of the (obscured) star-formation rate density at this redshift. The high SFRs and masses add to other existing evidence that these z=2 star-forming galaxies may be among the precursors of z=0 early-type galaxies. Theoretical models cannot reproduce simultaneously the space density of both passively evolving and highly star-forming galaxies at z=2. In view of Spitzer Space Telescope observations, an analogous technique based on the RJL photometry is proposed to complement the BzK selection and to identify massive galaxies at 2.5

Pandemien, globaler Umweltwandel und ‚smarte‘ Risikopolitik: Chancen für Wandel?
Creators: name: Kropp, Cordula
Publisher: name: Soziologie und Nachhaltigkeit
Year: 2020

description: Der Beitrag befasst sich mit der Risikopolitik während der Corona-Krise und diskutiert, inwiefern sie Anlass zur Hoffnung in transformative gesellschaftliche Lernprozesse gibt. Dazu werden einleitend zwei Strukturmerkmale nicht-nachhaltiger Entwicklung benannt und deren mögliche Vertiefung durch die vermehrte Nutzung digitaler Steuerungssysteme erwogen. Auf dieser Basis zeichnet er das bisherige Risikomanagement im Umgang mit der Corona-Pandemie im ersten Abschnitt kritisch nach und stellt es im zweiten Abschnitt den sozialwissenschaftlichen Überlegungen zur politischen Veränderungskraft reflexiver Risikopolitik gegenüber. Der dritte Abschnitt beleuchtet die Art und Bedeutung digitaler Managementstrategien und die mit dieser Form der Problembearbeitung einhergehende Risikopolitik. Im Ergebnis werden die Grenzen des digitalen Risikomanagements für transformative Lernprozesse herausgestellt. The paper explores the risk policy during the Corona crisis and discusses the extent to which it gives rise to hope for transformative societal learning processes. To this end, two key characteristics of unsustainable development are briefly outlined in the introduction and their possible deepening through the increased use of digital control systems is considered. On this basis, the first section of the paper gives a critical overview of risk management in dealing with the corona pandemic and the second section contrasts it with considerations in sociology on the political power of reflexive risk policy to change social order. The third section illuminates the nature and significance of digital management strategies and the risk policy associated with this form of risk management. As a result, the limitations of digital risk management for transformative learning processes are highlighted.

description: Ritkaföldfém (elsősorban neodymium) ötvözetek segítségével igen erős mágnesek készíthetők. Ilyen szupererős mágnesekből készült 5 mm átmérőjű különféle bevonattal ellátott golyócskákat rendszerint 216 darabos tételben (216=63) meg lehet vásárolni, melyekből órákon keresztül, kinek-kinek fantáziájától és ügyességétől függően 2D vagy 3D alakzatokat lehet készíteni. A láthatatlan mágneses pólusok kölcsönhatásai révén különféle kristályrácsot és kristályhibát modellezhetünk. Egy fizikatanárt azonban nem elégítenek ki pusztán a formák, legyenek azok bármilyen változatosak. Arra is kíváncsiak lehetünk, milyen lesz az alakzat mágneses mintázata. ------------------------------------------------ From the newly developed super strength magnetic neodymium balls unlimited forms and structures can be constructed. The 5 mm diameter magnetic balls, called buckyballs can be purchased in pockets of 216, arranged in a 6x6x6 cube. According to ones imagination a wide variety of 2D or 3D shapes can be formed, e.g. different crystal lattices or even vacancies. As a physic teacher we are interested about visualizing the magnetic pattern as well.

Pentaquarks in the Chiral Symmetry Limit

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We demonstrate that a five quark state of positive parity with an internal P-wave structure - usually pictured as a composite of an antiquark and two diquarks in a P-wave state - can couple to nucleons and Goldstone particles in a chirally invariant way. The corresponding decay width is generally not suppressed. A pentaquark of positive or negative parity with an internal S-wave structure, which may be viewed as a composite of an antiquark and two chirally different diquarks in an S-state, does not couple to nucleons and light mesons in the limit of an unbroken chiral symmetry. It is stable in this limit. However, such states can decay via the effect of the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. This breaking is strong because of the sizeable magnitude of the quark condensate. Thus, chiral symmetry cannot be the cause of a tiny decay amplitude, even for pentaquarks stable in a strict chiral symmetry limit.
description: Modified version. We added a discussion of the effect of spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry on the pentaquark. This has changed part of our conclusions: we argue that the effect is large indicating that chiral symmetry cannot be the origin of the small width of the pentaquark
