description: Food, cooking, and eating are commonly used as contexts or legitimations to teach and communicate science. However, for teaching to have contextual credibility, the relationship between subject and context is a relevant area of study. The present contribution describes an analysis of curricula from three Nordic countries shedding light on conditions for interdisciplinarity and/or curricular integration between the subjects science/chemistry on the one side, and home economics on the other. A two-phase documentary analysis was conducted on curricula from Finland, Norway, and Sweden from 2006 to 2020, revealing substantial potential for interdisciplinary collaboration and/or curricular integration. This is seen both in common declarative knowledge content ('declarative knowledge overlap') and, more interestingly, meeting points between subject-dependent practices and ways of thinking ('transfer of practices and ways of thinking'). The second inductive phase produced 11 themes common to the subjects. Possibilities and challenges are discussed in relation to the subjects’ epistemologies and ontologies, as well as practitioners’ competencies, attitudes, and creativity for subject boundary-crossing. Consequently, we conceptualise teachers’ roles as lying in the span between ‘teacher as polymath’ and ‘teacher as collaborator’. The present work also provides a instrument for exploring curricular conditions for interdisciplinarity between subjects on a more general basis.

description: Observations of the SNR Cassiopeia A (Cas A) show asymmetries in the reverse shock that cannot be explained by models describing a remnant expanding through a spherically symmetric wind of the progenitor star. We investigate whether a past interaction of Cas A with an asymmetric circumstellar shell can account for the observed asymmetries. We performed 3D MHD simulations that describe the remnant evolution from the SN to its interaction with a circumstellar shell. The initial conditions are provided by a 3D neutrino-driven SN model whose morphology resembles Cas A. We explored the parameter space of the shell, searching for a set of parameters able to produce reverse shock asymmetries at the age of 350 years analogous to those observed in Cas A. The interaction of the remnant with the shell can produce asymmetries resembling those observed in the reverse shock if the shell was asymmetric with the densest portion in the nearside to the northwest (NW). The reverse shock shows the following asymmetries at the age of Cas A: i) it moves inward in the observer frame in the NW region, while it moves outward in other regions; ii) the geometric center of the reverse shock is offset to the NW from the geometric center of the forward shock; iii) the reverse shock in the NW region has enhanced nonthermal emission because, there, the ejecta enter the reverse shock with a higher velocity (between 4000 and 7000 km/s) than in other regions (below 2000 km/s). The asymmetries observed in the reverse shock of Cas A can be interpreted as signatures of the interaction of the remnant with an asymmetric circumstellar shell that occurred between 180 and 240 years after the SN event. We suggest that the shell was, most likely, the result of a massive eruption from the progenitor star that occurred between $10^4$ and $10^5$ years prior to core-collapse. We estimate a total mass of the shell of the order 2 Msun.

description: (3200) Phaethon exhibits both comet- and asteroid-like properties, suggesting it could be a rare transitional object such as a dormant comet or previously volatile-rich asteroid. This justifies detailed study of (3200) Phaethon's physical properties, as a better understanding of asteroid-comet transition objects can provide insight into minor body evolution. We therefore acquired time-series photometry of (3200) Phaethon over 15 nights from 1994 to 2013, primarily using the Tektronix 2048x2048 pixel CCD on the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope. We utilized light curve inversion to: (1) refine (3200) Phaethon's rotational period to P=3.6032+/-0.0008 h; (2) estimate a rotational pole orientation of lambda=+85+/-13 degrees and beta=-20+/-10 degrees; and (3) derive a shape model. We also used our extensive light curve dataset to estimate the slope parameter of (3200) Phaethon's phase curve as G~0.06, consistent with C-type asteroids. We discuss how this highly oblique pole orientation with a negative ecliptic latitude supports previous evidence for (3200) Phaethon's origin in the inner main asteroid belt as well as the potential for deeply buried volatiles fueling impulsive yet rare cometary outbursts.

description: This study aimed to elucidate the role of bacteria colonising mycorrhizal hyphae in organi?cally bound sulfur mobilisation, the dominant soil sulfur source that is not directly plant available.The effect of an intact mycorrhizal symbiosis with access to stable isotope organo-34S enriched soils encased in 35 µm mesh cores was tested in microcosms with Agrostis stolonifera and Plantago lanceolata.Hyphae and associated soil were sampled from static mesh cores with mycorrhizal ingrowth and ro?tating mesh cores that exclude mycorrhizal ingrowth as well as corresponding rhizosphere soil, while plant shoots were analysed for 34S uptake. Static cores increased uptake of 34S at early stages of plant growth when sulfur demand appeared to be high and harboured significantly larger populations of sulfonate mobilising bacteria. Bacterial and fungal communities were significantly different in the hyphospheres of static cores when compared to rotating cores, not associated with plant hosts. Shifts in bacterial and fungal communities occurred not only in rotated cores but also in the rhizosphere. Arylsulfatase activity was significantly higher in the rhizosphere when cores stayed static, while atsA and asfA gene diversity was distinct in the microcosms with static and rotating cores. This study demonstrated that AM symbioses can promote organo-S mobilization and plant uptake through interactions with hyphospheric bacteria, enabling AM fungal ingrowth into static cores creating a positive feedback-loop, detectable in the microbial rhizosphere communities.

description: The peptidoglycan layer in bacterial cells is a popular target for antibiotic development. The membrane protein MraY and peripheral membrane protein MurG are part of critical steps in the synthesis of peptidoglycan. Lipid I, a lipid precursor formed by MraY, is recognized by MurG through its soluble domain. Currently, there is no structure of MurG with bound Lipid I, and the residues required for this interaction have not been conclusively defined. Crystallographic methods and Cryo-Electron Microscopy were applied to study the interactions between MurG and the soluble domain of Lipid I by binding Park’s Nucleotide, Lipid II, or a Lipid I analog were used to study the interactions of MurG and MraY with the aforementioned substrates. By adding Park’s Nucleotide, Murgocil, Lipid II, the Lipid I analog, or a combination of the listed additives to concentrated MurG, crystals formed under optimized conditions. We aim to obtain electron-density maps from these techniques to model the structure of MurG.

description: In the wake of network densification and multi-band operation in emerging cellular networks, mobility and handover management is becoming a major bottleneck. The problem is further aggravated by the fact that holistic mobility management solutions for different types of handovers, namely inter-frequency and intra-frequency handovers, remain scarce. This paper presents a first mobility management solution that concurrently optimizes inter-frequency related A5 parameters and intra-frequency related A3 parameters. We analyze and optimize five parameters namely A5-time to trigger (TTT), A5-threshold1, A5-threshold2, A3-TTT, and A3-offset to jointly maximize three critical key performance indicators (KPIs): edge user reference signal received power (RSRP), handover success rate (HOSR) and load between frequency bands. In the absence of tractable analytical models due to system level complexity, we leverage machine learning to quantify the KPIs as a function of the mobility parameters. An XGBoost based model has the best performance for edge RSRP and HOSR while random forest outperforms others for load prediction. An analysis of the mobility parameters provides several insights: 1) there exists a strong coupling between A3 and A5 parameters; 2) an optimal set of parameters exists for each KPI; and 3) the optimal parameters vary for different KPIs. We also perform a SHAP based sensitivity to help resolve the parametric conflict between the KPIs. Finally, we formulate a maximization problem, show it is non-convex, and solve it utilizing simulated annealing (SA). Results indicate that ML-based SA-aided solution is more than 14x faster than the brute force approach with a slight loss in optimality.

description: Schizophrenia neurocognitive domain profiles are predominantly based on paper-and-pencil batteries. This study presents the first schizophrenia domain profile based on the Computerized Multiphasic Interactive Neurocognitive System (CMINDS®). Neurocognitive domain z-scores were computed from computerized neuropsychological tests, similar to those in the Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB), administered to 175 patients with schizophrenia and 169 demographically similar healthy volunteers. The schizophrenia domain profile order by effect size was Speed of Processing (d=−1.14), Attention/Vigilance (d=−1.04), Working Memory (d=−1.03), Verbal Learning (d=−1.02), Visual Learning (d=−0.91), and Reasoning/Problem Solving (d=−0.67). There were no significant group by sex interactions, but overall women, compared to men, showed advantages on Attention/Vigilance, Verbal Learning, and Visual Learning compared to Reasoning/Problem Solving on which men showed an advantage over women. The CMINDS can readily be employed in the assessment of cognitive deficits in neuropsychiatric disorders; particularly in large-scale studies that may benefit most from electronic data capture.

description: High-resolution observations with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST) and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) reveal rotating magnetic field structures that extend from the solar surface into the chromosphere and the corona. These so-called magnetic tornadoes are primarily detected as rings or spirals of rotating plasma in the Ca II 854.2 nm line core (also known as chromospheric swirls). Detailed numerical simulations show that the observed chromospheric plasma motion is caused by the rotation of magnetic field structures, which again are driven by photospheric vortex flows at their footpoints. Under the right conditions, two vortex flow systems are stacked on top of each other. We refer to the lower vortex, which extends from the low photosphere into the convection zone, as intergranular vortex flow (IVF). Once a magnetic field structure is co-located with an IVF, the rotation is mediated into the upper atmospheric layers and an atmospheric vortex flow (AVF, or magnetic tornado) is generated. In contrast to the recent work by Shelyag et al., we demonstrate that particle trajectories in a simulated magnetic tornado indeed follow spirals and argue that the properties of the trajectories decisively depend on the location in the atmosphere and the strength of the magnetic field.

description: In 2023, the United States child welfare system suffers from disorganization, role ambiguity, and deficient transparency. With 12 contempt of court strikes for the system’s Director in 2022, it is clear why child welfare actors are unable to successfully perform. Foster parents, a key stakeholder in the proper care of children, report being unable to successfully perform because they are raising children with significant needs and trauma while having to locate and navigate child welfare system laws, policies, and procedures on their own. The purpose of this research project was to 1 ) identify whether foster parents know who is accountable for their foster child’s mental and physical health, legal case, medical care, and finances, 2) identify if foster parents know how to directly contact this party, 3) identify additional knowledge foster parents need about the system or their foster child, 4) connect with the Illinois foster parent community encouraging participant empowerment and self-efficacy, 5) work as a community identifying oppressive constructs that hinder information-sharing between the Illinois foster care system and foster parents, and 6) construct and implement a sustainable information-sharing, crowd-sourced platform for foster parents and other child welfare professionals to access information. The data for this project was collected using a quantitative and qualitative survey and 2 focus group sessions. The findings show that foster parents need additional information about the foster care system and their foster child, specifically medical information, indicating that a platform for foster parents, case workers, and other child welfare stakeholders, is critical.

description: Topology is revolutionizing photonics, bringing with it new theoretical discoveries and a wealth of potential applications. This field was inspired by the discovery of topological insulators, in which interfacial electrons transport without dissipation even in the presence of impurities. Similarly, new optical mirrors of different wave-vector space topologies have been constructed to support new states of light propagating at their interfaces. These novel waveguides allow light to flow around large imperfections without back-reflection. The present review explains the underlying principles and highlights the major findings in photonic crystals, coupled resonators, metamaterials and quasicrystals.

Gauss-Bonnet holographic superconductors in lower-dimensions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We disclose the effect of Gauss-Bonnet gravity on the properties of holographic $s$-wave and $p$-wave superconductors with higher order corrections in lower-dimensional spacetime. We employ shooting method to solve equations of motion numerically and obtain the effect of different values of mass, nonlinear gauge field and Gauss-Bonnet parameters on critical temperature and condensation. Based on our results, increasing each of these three parameters leads to lower temperatures and larger values of condensation. This phenomenon is rooted in the fact that conductor/superconductor phase transition faces with difficulty for higher effect of nonlinear and Gauss-Bonnet terms in the presence of a massive field. In addition, we study the electrical conductivity in holographic setup. In $D=4$, real and imaginary parts of conductivity in holographic $s$- and $p$-wave models behave similarly and follow the same trend as higher dimensions by showing the delta function and pole at low frequency regime that Kramers-Kronig relation can connect these two parts of conductivity to each other. We observe the appearance of a gap energy at $ω_{g}\approx 8T_{c}$ at which shifts toward higher frequencies by diminishing temperature and increasing the effect of nonlinear and Gauss-Bonnet terms. Conductivity in $D = 3$ is far different from other dimensions. Even the real and imaginary parts in $s$- and $p$-wave modes pursue various trends. For example in $ω\rightarrow 0$ limit, imaginary part in holographic $s$-wave model tends to infinity but in $p$-wave model approaches to zero. However, the real parts in both models show a delta function behavior. In general, real and imaginary parts of conductivity in all cases that we study tend to a constant value in $ω\rightarrow \infty$ regime.

description: We present a meshless method for magnetohydrodynamics by evolving the vector potential of magnetic fields. A novel scheme and numerical techniques are developed to restrict the divergence of magnetic field, based on the Meshless Finite Mass/Volume with HLLD Riemann solver for conservative flux calculation. We found the magnetic field could be stabilized by a proper smoothing process and so the long-term evolution becomes available. To verify the new scheme, we perform the Brio-Wu shock tube, 2D and 3D Orszag-Tang vortex and Magnetorotational Instability test problems. Our results suggest that our method is robust and has better precision on central offset, amplitude and detailed pattern than an existing meshless code$-$GIZMO.

description: Planar black holes in AdS, which are holographically dual to compressible relativistic fluids, have a long-lived phonon mode that captures the physics of attenuated sound propagation and transports energy in the plasma. We describe the open effective field theory of this fluctuating phonon degree of freedom. The dynamics of the phonon is encoded in a single scalar field whose gravitational coupling has non-trivial spatial momentum dependence. This description fits neatly into the paradigm of classifying gravitational modes by their Markovianity index, depending on whether they are long-lived. The sound scalar is a non-Markovian field with index (3-d) for a d-dimensional fluid. We reproduce (and extend) the dispersion relation of the holographic sound mode to quartic order in derivatives, constructing in the process the effective field theory governing its attenuated dynamics and associated stochastic fluctuations. We also remark on the presence of additional spatially homogeneous zero modes in the gravitational problem, which remain disconnected from the phonon Goldstone mode.

description: We investigate the stability and coherence properties of one-dimensional exciton-polariton condensates under nonresonant pumping. We model the condensate dynamics using the open-dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii equation. In the case of spatially homogeneous pumping, we find that the instability of the steady state leads to significant eduction of the coherence length. We consider two effects that can lead to the stabilization of the steady state, i.e. the polariton energy relaxation and the influence of an inhomogeneous pumping profile. We find that, while the former has little effect on the stability, the latter is very effective in stabilizing the condensate which results in a large coherence length.

description: Evidence suggests that some structural brain abnormalities in schizophrenia are neurodevelopmental in origin. There is also growing evidence to suggest that shape deformations in brain structure may reflect abnormalities in neurodevelopment. While many magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies have investigated brain area and volume measures in schizophrenia, fewer have focused on shape deformations. In this MR study we used a 3D shape representation technique, based on spherical harmonic functions, to analyze left and right amygdala-hippocampus shapes in each of 15 patients with schizophrenia and 15 healthy controls matched for age, gender, handedness and parental socioeconomic status. Left/right asymmetry was also measured for both shape and volume differences. Additionally, shape and volume measurements were combined in a composite analysis. There were no differences between groups in overall volume or shape. Left/right amygdala–hippocampal asymmetry, however, was significantly larger in patients than controls for both relative volume and shape. The local brain regions responsible for the left/right asymmetry differences in patients with schizophrenia were in the tail of the hippocampus (including both the inferior aspect adjacent to parahippocampal gyrus and the superior aspect adjacent to the lateral geniculate nucleus and more anteriorly to the cerebral peduncles) and in portions of the amygdala body (including the anterior–superior aspect adjacent to the basal nucleus). Also, in patients, increased volumetric asymmetry tended to be correlated with increased left/right shape asymmetry. Furthermore, a combined analysis of volume and shape asymmetry resulted in improved differentiation between groups. Classification function analyses correctly classified 70% of cases using volume, 73.3% using shape, and 87% using combined volume and shape measures. These findings suggest that shape provides important new information toward characterizing the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, and that combining volume and shape measures provides improved group discrimination in studies investigating brain abnormalities in schizophrenia. An evaluation of shape deformations also suggests local abnormalities in the amygdala–hippocampal complex in schizophrenia.

description: We generalize the gradient flow equation for field theories with nonlinearly realized symmetry. Applying the formalism to super Yang-Mills theory, we construct a supersymmetric extension of the gradient flow equation. It can be shown that the super gauge symmetry is preserved in the gradient flow. Furthermore, choosing an appropriate modification term to damp the gauge degrees of freedom, we obtain a gradient flow equation which is closed within the Wess-Zumino gauge.

description: Die vorliegende literaturbasierte Bachelorthesis hat das Ziel, die Herausforderung des Modells der begleiteten Elternschaft und deren Auswirkungen auf die Fachkräfte der Sozialen Arbeit, herauszuarbeiten und kritisch zu hinterfragen. Insgesamt ist der Forschungsstand zu dieser Thematik eher gering was die Relevanz des Themas begründet. Nach wie vor beherrschen Stigmatisierungen das Bild von Eltern mit einer geistigen Behinderung. Obwohl die gesetzlichen Grundlagen für Eltern mit einer geistigen Behinderung und ohne gleich sind, herrschen trotzdem ungleiche Verhältnisse. Das Konzept der begleiteten Elternschaft versucht diesem Ungleichgewicht, durch das ermöglichen eines weitegehend normalen Familienlebens, entgegenzuwirken. Anhand des Modells wurden u.a. das Nähe- und Distanz Verhältnis, die Balance zwischen Hilfe und Kontrolle sowie Stigmatisierungen, als Herausforderungen herausgearbeitet. Diese wirken sich insbesondere auf die Beziehungsarbeit, das Handeln sowie die Haltung der Fachkräfte, der Sozialen Arbeit, aus. Unter anderem erschweren gesetzliche Rahmenbedingungen die Lösung. Darüber hinaus wurden, die negative Haltung sowie der geringe Kenntnisstand als Ursachen herausgearbeitet. Zur Lösung muss das Thema bereits im Studium Anklang finden und die Forschung vertieft werden. Schlüsselwörter: Elternschaft, Behinderung, Herausforderungen, Auswirkungen
description: This literature-based Bachelor's thesis aims to elaborate and critically question the challenge of the model of accompanied parenthood and its effects on social work professionals. Overall, the state of research on this topic is rather low, which justifies the relevance of the topic. Stigmatisation still dominates the image of parents with an intellectual disability. Although the legal basis for parents with and without an intellectual disability is the same, unequal conditions still prevail. The concept of accompanied parenthood tries to counteract this imbalance by enabling a largely normal family life. On the basis of the model, the relationship between closeness and distance, the balance between help and control as well as stigmatisation were worked out as challenges. These have a particular impact on the relationship work, the actions and the attitude of the social work professionals.Among other things, the legal framework makes it difficult to find a solution. Furthermore, the negative attitude and the low level of knowledge were identified as causes. In order to find a solution, the topic must already be addressed during studies and the research must be deepened. Keywords: Parenthood, disability, challenges, impact

description: The relationship between orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) volumes and functional domains in treatment-resistant patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder is poorly undestood. OFC dysfunction is implicated in several of the behaviors that are abnormal in schizophrenia. However, little is known about the relationship between these behaviors and OFC volumes. Forty-nine (49) patients received magnetic resonance imaging scanning as part of a double-blind treatment study in which psychiatric symptomatology, neuropsychological function, and aggression were measured. OFC volumes were manually traced on anatomical images. Psychiatric symptomatology was measured with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Aggression was measured with the Overt Aggression Scale (OAS) and with the PANSS. Neuropsychological function was assessed using a comprehensive test battery. Larger right OFC volumes were associated with poorer neuropsychological function. Larger left OFC gray matter volumes and larger OFC white matter volumes bilaterally were associated with greater levels of aggression. These findings are discussed in the context of potential iatrogenic effects.

description: It has been shown in "On the Hausdorff-Young theorem for commutative hypergroups" by Sina Degenfeld-Schonburg, that one can extend the domain of Fourier transform of a commutative hypergroup $K$ to $L^p(K)$ for $1\leq p \leq 2$, and the Hausdorff-Young inequality holds true for these cases. In this article, we examine the structure of non-zero functions in $L^p(K)$ for which equality is attained in the Hausdorff-Young inequality, for $1

Atypical modulation of cognitive control by arousal in autism

description: We examined the effects of viewing high-arousal pictures on regional brain activations elicited by a cognitive control task in participants with high-functioning autism and neurotypical controls. Specifically, using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, we assessed the effects of brief presentations of highly arousing pictures (i.e., both very pleasant and very unpleasant) on the processing of stimuli requiring cognitive control. Similar to previous findings, when stimuli with high cognitive control demands were preceded by low-arousal pictures, individuals with autism demonstrated regional brain activations that were comparable to neurotypical control individuals. When the presentation of the cognitive control stimuli was preceded by high-arousal pictures, however, the control group was characterized by relatively greater activation in the right lateral midfrontal cortex in response to cognitive control stimuli. In contrast, preceding high-arousal stimuli did not modulate activity elicited in this region by cognitive control stimuli in the autism group. Differential modulation of right lateral midfrontal activation by high-arousal stimuli in autism is consistent with the “inefficiency model” of brain functioning in autism spectrum disorders, and contributes to a growing body of evidence that autism may be characterized by anomalous sensitivity of cognitive control brain regions to social-emotional context.
Mooring System Integrity Management through Monitoring, Digital Twin and Control Technologies for Cost reduction and Increased Efficiency
Creators: name: Fundación Centro Tecnológico de Componentes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Mooring systems are considered critical components due to their impact in the stability, structural design and dynamics of the Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) turbine and the associated risk of collapse of the whole system in case of failure. Nowadays, Mooring system design in FOW is accomplished by following Oil and Gas standards. However, despite its high safety factors and integrity management plans, failure rates are several orders of magnitude greater than industry targets used to calibrate mooring design codes.
The MooringSense project aims at reducing operational costs (10-15 %) and increasing annual energy production (2-3 %) through the development of an efficient risk-based integrity management strategy for mooring systems. The proposed solution comprises the development of a low-cost smart sensor for FOW turbine motion monitoring, a Mooring System Digital Twin (MSDT) model, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) techniques, and control strategies at turbine and farm levels for mooring condition management.
The MSDT prototype will consist in high fidelity numerical models calibrated and validated in an Ocean Basin Laboratory; A Smart Motion Sensor prototype based on Global Navigation Satellite System technology; A SHM system prototype developed under a data-driven approach and strategies; control algorithms to reduce dynamic loads and control integrity management strategies.
MooringSense project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 851703. MooringSense is a 36-month project which started in November 2019. It is the intention of the authors to present the project and its main goals, as well as to give an update on the development status and produced achievements.

description: Plabic graphs are intimately connected to the positroid stratification of the positive Grassmannian. The duals to these graphs are quivers, and it is possible to associate to them cluster algebras. For the top-cell graph of $Gr_{+}(k,n)$, this cluster algebra is the homogeneous coordinate ring of the corresponding positroid variety. We prove that the same statement holds for plabic graphs describing lower dimensional cells. In this way we obtain a map from the positroid strata onto cluster subalgebras of $Gr_{+}(k,n)$. We explore some of the consequences of this map for tree-level scattering amplitudes in $\mathcal N=4$ super Yang-Mills theory.

description: In this article we describe the photon detection readout electronics for the nEDM@SNS experiment. The chosen "photon counting" architecture, which utilizes high-efficiency silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) and is appropriate for low-light applications, allows the use of a relatively high SiPM operating voltage. This maximizes photon detection efficiency and minimizes gain/efficiency voltage-dependence while eliminating optical cross-talk.

description: Abnormalities of the cortico-striatal-thalamic-cortical (CSTC) and the limbic-cortico-striatal-thalamic-cortical (LCSTC) circuits have been hypothesized in mood disorders. We performed principal components analysis (PCA) to identify latent volumetric systems on regional brain volumes and correlated these patterns with clinical characteristics, exploratory structural equation modeling (SEM) to test a priori hypotheses about the organization among the structures comprising the CSTC and LCSTC circuits and investigate differences among subjects with bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and healthy controls (HC). Participants included 45 BD and 31 MDD patients, and 72 HC. Regional MR brain volumes were used to calculate patterns of volumetric covariance. The identified latent volumetric systems were related to the depression severity and the duration of illness. BD differed from HC on the estimated parameters describing the paths of cortico-striatal, thalamo-striatal and intrastriatal loops of CSTC circuit, and the paths between anterior and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and hippocampus to amygdala of LCSTC circuit. MDD differed from HC on the paths between putamen and thalamus, and PCC to hippocampus. This study provides evidence to suggest different organizational patterns among structures within the CSTC and LCSTC circuits for BD, MDD, and HC, which may point to structural abnormalities underlying mood disorders.

description: The radiation from stars and active galactic nuclei (AGN) creates photodissociation regions (PDRs) and X-ray dominated regions (XDRs), where the chemistry or heating are dominated by far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation or X-ray radiation, respectively. PDRs include a wide range of environments from the diffuse interstellar medium to dense star-forming regions. XDRs are found in the center of galaxies hosting AGN, in protostellar disks, and in the vicinity of X-ray binaries. In this review, we describe the dominant thermal, chemical, and radiation transfer processes in PDRs and XDRs, as well as a brief description of models and their use to analyze observations. We then present recent results from Milky Way, nearby extragalactic, and high-redshift observations. Several important results are: $\bullet$ Velocity resolved PDR lines reveal the kinematics of the neutral atomic gas and provide constraints on the stellar feedback process. Their interpretation is, however, in dispute as observations suggest a prominent role for stellar winds while they are much less important in theoretical models. $\bullet$ A significant fraction of molecular mass resides in CO-dark gas especially in low-metallicity/highly irradiated environments. $\bullet$ The CO ladder and CI/CII ratios can determine if FUV or X-rays dominate the ISM heating of extragalactic sources. $\bullet$ With ALMA, PDR and XDR tracers are now routinely detected on galactic scales over cosmic time. This makes it possible to link the star formation history of the Universe to the evolution of the physical and chemical properties of the gas.
