title: The role of growth in metabolic scaling: a case study across habitats and life histories
Creators: name: Garcia Gomez, Guillermo
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: All life processes are powered by metabolism, and thus the metabolic rate of organisms provide a measure of their pace of life. Metabolic rate is linked to body size by many biological processes, involving self-maintenance, biomass production, and activity, all three ultimately related to fitness. Explaining the degree of variation in metabolic rate with body size has therefore become a central topic for ecologists, yet the mechanism(s) underlying this relationship, often termed metabolic scaling, remain enigmatic. In this thesis, I investigate the variation in metabolic scaling in response to different ecological and organismal factors in a broad diversity of ectotherms from extremely different habitats. First, using a meta-analytic approach, I determine the change in metabolic scaling within species of ectothermic vertebrates under both increasing temperature and activity level, exploring differences between air- (i.e., reptiles and amphibians) and water-breathing organisms (i.e., teleost fish and elasmobranchs). I demonstrate that scaling slopes become shallower as metabolic level (i.e., the elevation of the metabolic rate vs. body mass relationship) increases with warming only in water-breathers, whereas slopes steepen as metabolic level increases with locomotory activity only in air-breathers. I explain these contrasting findings by combining various, complementary hypotheses involving mechanisms that evolved to protect aerobic scope in fish. Second, I show that allometric (log-log) metabolic scaling slopes decrease with increased maximum growth rates across species of teleost fish, suggesting that growth demands influence metabolic scaling. Using a theoretical model, I then characterise the energetic demands at rest in these teleost species, and show that growth costs remain largely invariant with species body size, lifestyle, and evolutionary history. These results highlight that systematic differences in metabolic scaling are important to understand different energy allocation strategies of species. Last, I examine ontogenetic shifts and sexual differences in metabolic scaling in a model crustacean species (Artemia franciscana), showing that variation in scaling slopes can be affected by changes in costs of biomass production between ontogenetic phases and reproductive modes. The potential roles of the cellular mode of growth on production costs and hence on metabolic scaling in this species are discussed. Overall, this thesis combines multiple mechanisms including evolutionary adaptations, plastic responses, and metabolic costs of various organismal activities, to explain the variation in the mass-scaling of energy use among ectotherms and at various levels of biological organisation. Such a multi-mechanistic perspective may be crucial not only for a comprehensive understanding of metabolic scaling, but also to predict the impact of global change on animal communities.
Standardized compliance matrixes for general anisotropic materials and a simple measure of anisotropy degree based on shear-extension coupling coefficient

description: The compliance matrix for a general anisotropic material is usually expressed in an arbitrarily chosen coordinate system, which brings some confusion or inconvenience in identifying independent elastic material constants and comparing elastic properties between different materials. In this paper, a unique stiffest orientation based standardized (STF-OS) compliance matrix is established, and 18 independent elastic material constants are clearly shown. During the searching process for stiffest orientation, it is interesting to find from our theoretical analysis and an example that a material with isotropic tensile stiffness does not definitely possess isotropic elasticity. Therefore the ratio between the maximum and minimum tensile stiffnesses is not a correct measure of anisotropy degree. Alternatively, a simple and correct measure of anisotropy degree based on the maximum shear-extension coupling coefficient in all orientations is proposed.
A systematic approach to the planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of integrated health services
Creators: name: Reynolds, Heidi

Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2013

description: Abstract: Background: Because of the current emphasis and enthusiasm focused on integration of health systems, there is a risk of piling resources into integrated strategies without the necessary systems in place to monitor their progress adequately or to measure impact, and to learn from these efforts. The rush to intervene without adequate monitoring and evaluation will continue to result in a weak evidence base for decision making and resource allocation. Program planning and implementation are inextricability linked to monitoring and evaluation. Country level guidance is needed to identify country-specific integrated strategies, thereby increasing country ownership. Discussion: This paper focuses on integrated health services but takes into account how health services are influenced by the health system, managed by programs, and made up of interventions. We apply the principles in existing comprehensive monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks in order to outline a systematic approach to the M&E of integration for the country level. The approach is grounded by first defining the country-specific health challenges that integration is intended to affect. Priority points of contact for care can directly influence health, and essential packages of integration for all major client presentations need to be defined. Logic models are necessary to outline the plausible causal pathways and define the inputs, roles and responsibilities, indicators, and data sources across the health system. Finally, we recommend improvements to the health information system and in data use to ensure that data are available to inform decisions, because changes in the M&E function to make it more integrated will also facilitate integration in the service delivery, planning, and governance components. Summary: This approach described in the paper is the ideal, but its application at the country level can help reveal gaps and guide decisions related to what health services to prioritize for integration, help plan for how to strengthen systems to support health services, and ultimately establish an evidence base to inform investments in health care. More experience is needed to understand if the approach is feasible; similarly, more emphasis is needed on documenting the process of designing and implemented integrated interventions at the national level.

description: This article discusses and explains the Hamiltonian formulation for a class of simple gauge invariant mechanical systems consisting of point masses and idealized rods. The study of these models may be helpful to advanced undergraduate or graduate students in theoretical physics to understand, in a familiar context, some concepts relevant to the study of classical and quantum field theories. We use a geometric approach to derive the Hamiltonian formulation for the model considered in the paper: four equal masses connected by six ideal rods. We obtain and discuss the meaning of several important elements, in particular, the constraints and the Hamiltonian vector fields that define the dynamics of the system, the constraint manifold, gauge symmetries, gauge orbits, gauge fixing, and the reduced phase space.

The taxonomic name resolution service: an online tool for automated standardization of plant names
Creators: name: Peet, Robert K.
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2013

description: Abstract Background The digitization of biodiversity data is leading to the widespread application of taxon names that are superfluous, ambiguous or incorrect, resulting in mismatched records and inflated species numbers. The ultimate consequences of misspelled names and bad taxonomy are erroneous scientific conclusions and faulty policy decisions. The lack of tools for correcting this ‘names problem’ has become a fundamental obstacle to integrating disparate data sources and advancing the progress of biodiversity science. Results The TNRS, or Taxonomic Name Resolution Service, is an online application for automated and user-supervised standardization of plant scientific names. The TNRS builds upon and extends existing open-source applications for name parsing and fuzzy matching. Names are standardized against multiple reference taxonomies, including the Missouri Botanical Garden's Tropicos database. Capable of processing thousands of names in a single operation, the TNRS parses and corrects misspelled names and authorities, standardizes variant spellings, and converts nomenclatural synonyms to accepted names. Family names can be included to increase match accuracy and resolve many types of homonyms. Partial matching of higher taxa combined with extraction of annotations, accession numbers and morphospecies allows the TNRS to standardize taxonomy across a broad range of active and legacy datasets. Conclusions We show how the TNRS can resolve many forms of taxonomic semantic heterogeneity, correct spelling errors and eliminate spurious names. As a result, the TNRS can aid the integration of disparate biological datasets. Although the TNRS was developed to aid in standardizing plant names, its underlying algorithms and design can be extended to all organisms and nomenclatural codes. The TNRS is accessible via a web interface at http://tnrs.iplantcollaborative.org/ and as a RESTful web service and application programming interface.

We find a parameter region where the excess can be accounted for without conflicting with dijet constraints. We also show that the kinematical distributions might help to determine the couplings to gluons and quarks.

On the exoneration of Dr. William H. Stewart: debunking an urban legend

Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd

description: Abstract Background It is one of the most infamous quotes in the history of biomedicine: “It is time to close the book on infectious diseases, and declare the war against pestilence won.” Long attributed to the United States Surgeon General, Dr. William H. Stewart (1965-1969), the statement is frequently used as a foil by scientific and lay authors to underscore the ever-increasing problems of antibiotic-resistant and emerging infections. However, the primary source for the quote has never been identified. Methods We undertook a comprehensive search of multiple databases encompassing medical literature, news articles, and congressional records to attempt to identify sources for the quote. Results No source of the quote was identified. However, a trail of source documents was identified that clearly serves as the basis for subsequent, incorrect attribution of the quote to Dr. Stewart. In multiple source documents, Dr. Stewart made statements to the opposite effect, clearly recognizing that infectious diseases had not been conquered. The urban legend was created by a combination of lack of primary witnesses to the originating speech, misunderstanding of points made by Dr. Stewart in the speech, and increasing societal concern about emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Conclusions Attribution to Dr. Stewart of a belief that it was time to close the book on infectious diseases is an urban legend; he never made any such statement. Numerous other verifiable sources, however, confirm that other people in academia adopted this belief. Dr. Stewart should no longer be cited in this regard, and should be replaced with verifiable sources.

description: A critical task in oncology is extracting information related to cancer metastasis from electronic health records. Metastasis-related information is crucial for planning treatment, evaluating patient prognoses, and conducting cancer research. Unfortunately, findings of distant metastasis are written in radiology reports, often unstructured, making it difficult to extract relevant information automatically. In this study, we created a manually annotated clinical corpus using radiology reports of prostate, colorectal, and breast cancer patients. We developed a named entity recognition model to capture entities of distant metastasis. The entities were subsequently employed in automatically classifying the reports according to the presence or absence of metastasis. The NER model detected distant metastasis mentions with a weighted average F1 score performance of 0.84. Whole reports were finally classified with an F1 score of 0.92 for documents without distant metastasis (M0) and 0.90 for documents with distant metastasis (M1). These results show the model's usefulness in detecting distant metastasis entities in three different types of cancer and the consequent classification of reports. The manually annotated corpus (FALP Radiology Reports Corpus) and annotation guidelines are freely released to the research community. This work was based in the work done by :

description: The PRISMA systematic review answers the question what factors the research literature of the past 30 years considers as the major "drivers" of Environmental Management Systems implementation (EMS) in the specific conditions of supply chain. Based on a research gap identified, an extraction of Web of Science database is performed using subject-specific keywords, followed by a quantitative bibliometric analysis and then a qualitative conceptual meta-analysis. As a result we identified 4 major EMS implementation drivers, the most frequented of which is social responsibility, strategic goals, closely followed economic goals and – though sporadic – legal compliance. The opinion streams behind these are characterized, their rationale explained and mutual controversies discussed. Considering its broad conceptual framework the systematic review represents an interesting contribution expanding knowledge in this field, also for its unique character, i.e. narrow focus on sustainability issues in supply chain, which makes it outstanding and pioneering.

description: Abstract Background Risk-based prioritization of dental referrals during well-child visits might improve dental access for infants and toddlers. This study identifies pediatrician-assessed risk factors for early childhood caries (ECC) and their association with the need for a dentist’s evaluation. Methods A priority oral health risk assessment and referral tool (PORRT) for children < 36 months was developed collaboratively by physicians and dentists and used by 10 pediatricians during well-child visits. PORRT documented behavioral, clinical, and child health risks for ECC. Pediatricians also assessed overall ECC risk on an 11-point scale and determined the need for a dental evaluation. Logistic regression models calculated the odds for evaluation need for each risk factor and according to a 3-level risk classification. Results In total 1,288 PORRT forms were completed; 6.8% of children were identified as needing a dentist evaluation. Behavioral risk factors were prevalent but not strong predictors of the need for an evaluation. The child’s overall caries risk was the strongest predictor of the need for an evaluation. Cavitated (OR = 17.5; 95% CI = 8.08, 37.97) and non-cavitated (OR = 6.9; 95% CI = 4.47, 10.82) lesions were the strongest predictors when the caries risk scale was excluded from the analysis. Few patients (6.3%) were classified as high risk, but their probability of needing an evaluation was only 0.36. Conclusions Low referral rates for children with disease and prior to disease onset but at elevated risk, indicate interventions are needed to help improve the dental referral rates of physicians.

description: Poly-ether-ketone-ketone (PEKK) is an emerging alternative to poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) as a matrix for high-performance carbon fibre (CF) reinforced composites. Herein, the results of an experimental investigation to examine the influence of matrix properties and fibre–matrix interface behaviour on the mechanical performances of CF/PEKK and CF/PEEK composites are presented. CF/PEKK presents superior strength under longitudinal tension, longitudinal and transverse compression, as well as in-plane shear. It also exhibits better interfacial shear strength (IFSS) than CF/PEEK, which contributes to its superior strength, as damage typically initiates at the fibre–matrix interface under in-plane loading. Predictions of different analytical models adopted from the literature, which assess the influence of fibre–matrix adhesion on the in-plane strength, compare favourably to the experiments. Under cyclic shear tests, CF/PEKK exhibited more gradual stiffness reductions and low shear plasticity until 5% shear strain, indicating a more damage tolerant matrix. Relative to CF/PEEK, CF/PEKK presents superior interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and mode I fracture toughness (GIC), but similar mode II fracture toughness (GIIC). High GIC is due to a synergistic interaction between its inherently ductile matrix and high IFSS, while ILSS strongly correlates with IFSS. Overall, CF/PEKK offers a better combination of strength and toughness, exceeding CF/PEEK.

description: Flipped instruction has garnered significant interest in higher education for its potential to enhance student motivation and self-regulated learning. This quasi-experimental study examined the impact of flipped teaching on motivation and self-directed learning attributes among 106 entrepreneurship students at universities in Taiwan. Students completed pre- and post-intervention surveys measuring intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and facets of self-directed learning. Bayesian paired samples t-tests revealed that flipped instruction significantly increased both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Self-directed learning attributes including internal processes, behavioral approaches, and environmental preferences also improved following the flipped teaching intervention. Additionally, machine learning models were developed to predict students’ final exam scores based on pre-intervention motivation, self-directed learning, and learning expectations. A linear regression model accounted for 59.1% of variance in exam scores, with pre-learning expectations emerging as the strongest positive predictor. However, pre-intervention intrinsic motivation intriguingly showed a negative relationship with predicted exam performance. Overall, this study provides preliminary evidence that flipped instruction can increase student motivation and self-directed learning capabilities. The predictive modeling also suggests complex interactions between attributes in influencing academic achievement. Further research with larger, more diverse samples is recommended to validate the motivational and self-regulatory benefits of flipped teaching for higher education students.

description: The ranch Florence Lowe Barnes (Pancho Barnes) owned and operated (which is now part of Edwards Air Force Base [AFB]) was a focal point for entertainment, social activity, and comradery. Many prominent individuals involved with historic flight test programs and projects went there for relaxation. In 1954, Pancho's home was destroyed by a fire that resulted in the annihilation of a large portion of her personal archives and artifacts. Consequently, one option to preserve crucial historical and cultural information at this late date was by utilization of oral history. In 1991, the Legacy Resource Management Program provided funding for a preliminary study of Pancho. During the 1920's and 1930's, she had gained fame as a woman aviator. Her life eventually became intimately connected with the culture and history of Edwards AFB. In 1991, the Air Force tasked Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) to undertake a preliminary cultural and historical study of Pancho Barnes' life and early history of the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFfC). This preliminary study had two major goals: obtain historical and cultural information to support a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the ruins of Pancho's ranch, and initiate an Oral History Program to support the Base's Cultural Resource Management Program. These goals were successfully accomplished and an interpretive video based on the oral history interviews was produced.

subject: vegetable

description: Objective: The aim of this scoping review is to understand the extent and type of evidence regarding efforts to increase consumption of novel and/or healthy foods within group settings in children residing in high-income countries (aged 3-7 years). Introduction: In 2020, an estimated 39 million children under the age of five years were reported to have overweight or obesity, with children increasingly consuming foods high in dietary fats and sugars (WHO, 2021). Group settings (e.g., schools, nurseries) present an opportunity to encourage children’s consumption of novel and healthy foods, but a consensus has yet to be reached on the best method(s) for achieving this. For health, care or education authorities to make evidence-based decisions about policies to apply or programs to commission for group settings, they need access to the summarised evidence. Inclusion criteria: Interventions and/or studies promoting consumption of novel and/or healthy foods in children (aged 3-7 years), within group settings controlled by ‘authorities’. Searches will be limited to evidence studying children residing in high-income countries, written in English language, from 2012 onwards. Methods: A systematic scoping review following the JBI guidelines will be conducted in March 2022. Databases to be searched include Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO (via ProQuest platform) and MEDLINE. Exploration of grey literature will involve hand searching reference lists for additional manuscripts. All identified citations will be collated and exported into Excel and duplicates removed. Titles and abstracts will be screened by two independent reviewers for assessment against inclusion criteria for the review. Full-text articles will then be screened for eligibility and collating results.
Mechanically induced two-qubit gates and maximally entangled states for single electron spins in a carbon nanotube
Creators: name: Wang, Heng

subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We theoretically analyze a system where two electrons are trapped separately in two quantum dots on a suspended carbon nanotube (CNT), subject to external ac electric driving. An indirect mechanically-induced coupling of two distant single electron spins is induced by the interaction between the spins and the mechanical motion of the CNT. We show that a two-qubit iSWAP gate and arbitrary single-qubit gates can be obtained from the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. Combining the iSWAP gate and single-qubit gates, maximally entangled states of two spins can be generated in a single step by varying the frequency and the strength of the external electric driving field. The spin-phonon coupling can be turned off by electrostatically shifting the electron wave function on the nanotube.

description: Ausgangslage: Eine chronische Wunde kann bei betroffenen Patienten und Patientinnen zu Veränderungen im täglichen Leben führen. Laut Brown (2005a) wurden die psychologischen und sozialen Auswirkungen von chronischen Ulzerationen noch nicht ausreichend erforscht.
Ziel: Ziel dieser Bachelorarbeit ist es, die Auswirkungen von chronisch venösen Ulzerationen auf das psychosoziale Wohlbefinden bei erwachsenen Patienten und Patientinnen aufzuzeigen und pflegerelevante Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten darzulegen.
Methode: Es wurde eine systematisierte Literaturrecherche in den pflegerelevanten Datenbanken CINAHL Complete und Medline über den Zeitraum von Juni 2016 bis Januar 2017 durchgeführt. Die inkludierten Studien wurden auf ihre Güte hin gewürdigt.
Ergebnisse: Eine chronisch venöse Wunde kann Veränderungen im täglichen Leben hervorrufen und gar zu psychischen und sozialen Problemen führen. Die Betroffenen leiden unter anderem an einer sozialen Isolation, aufgrund der eingeschränkten Mobilität, an Wundschmerzen oder an den einengenden Kompressionsverbänden. Die Patienten und Patientinnen wünschen sich umfangreiche Informationen zum Krankheitsbild und zu den Therapiemöglichkeiten.
Schlussfolgerung: Die Literaturarbeit zeigt auf, dass Fachkräfte den Fokus der Therapie nicht nur auf die Wundbehandlung legen sollten. Sie sollten auch die Auswirkungen von chronisch venösen Ulzerationen erkennen und eine ganzheitlich patientenzentrierte Pflege gewährleisten.

description: We investigate the (electro-)geodesic structure of the Majumdar-Papapetrou solution representing static charged black holes in equilibrium. We assume only two point sources, imparting thus the spacetime axial symmetry. We study electrogeodesics both in and off the equatorial plane and explore the stability of circular trajectories via geodesic deviation equation. In contrast to the classical Newtonian situation, we find regions of spacetime admitting two different angular frequencies for a given radius of the circular electrogeodesic. We look both at the weak- and near-field limits of the solution. We use analytic as well as numerical methods in our approach.
