description: Neuropsychiatric behaviour is common in all those with dementia (1). Approaches to behaviour management have been both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic. This study explored a nonpharmacologic intervention designed to reflect the understanding of behaviour as guided by: Need-driven Dementia-compromised Behaviour, Self-determination, Biophilia and Attention Restoration Theories. It was hypothesized that engaging at a garden vignette would reduce both neuropsychiatric behaviour and psychoactive medication given. A quasi-experimental within-subject repeated measures design was used. The five-phase design included baseline and two-week intervention and washout phases that were repeated. The study was set in a long-term care facility specializing in ‘difficult to manage’ behaviour. Participant admission criteria were limited to proxy consent, and moderate to severe dementia severity with no pain limitations. The garden vignettes included all materials required to ‘garden’ and create a feeling of a ‘garden’. Each vignette was easily accessed, centrally located, open to self-determined visits and available twenty-four hours per day during the intervention phases. The Mini-Mental State Exam and the Geriatric Dementia Scale were used to determine dementia severity. Measurement of neuropsychiatric behaviour was completed during the last week of each phase using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory –Nursing Home (NPI-NH), Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD), Single Question Depression Test (SQDT), Apathy Inventory (AI) and the Ryden Aggression Scale 2 (modified)(RAS2). Chart review recorded psychoactive PRN medication use. Activity at the garden vignette was video recorded twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week for the two weeks of each intervention phase. Significant neuropsychiatric behaviour changes were primarily between baseline and all other phases for the NPI-NH, NPI-NH-OD, CSDD and the RAS2. Greater neuropsychiatric behaviour and caregiver distress at baseline was associated with spending more time at the vignette. Spending significantly more time at the vignette in phase 2 was associated with spending more time in phase 4. Removal of the vignette created greater neuropsychiatric behaviour and caregiver distress in phase 3. A greater level of depression in phase 4 was associated with spending more time at the vignette and being self-determined was associated with less depression. There was no evidence of effect on apathy, self-assessed depression or psychoactive PRN medication administration.

description: Simulations are used to determine the effect of inertia on athermal shear of a two-dimensional binary Lennard-Jones glass. In the quasistatic limit, shear occurs through a series of rapid avalanches. The distribution of avalanches is analyzed using finite-size scaling with thousands to millions of particles. Inertia takes the system to a new underdamped universality class rather than driving the system away from criticality. Scaling exponents are determined for the underdamped and overdamped limits and a critical damping that separates the two regimes. Systems are in the overdamped universality class even when most vibrational modes are underdamped.

Type genus. Tibionema Solier, 1851.
= Tibionemini Ulrich, 1988 (in litt.), unavailable name.
Type genus. Tibionema Solier, 1851.
= Tibionemini Motyka, Kusy, Arias, Bybee et Bocak, 2023 (Motyka et al. 2023b), unavailable name (Bouchard et al. 2024). urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub: 91027F71-C0E4-4746-A440-DBD9C1894D6A.
Type genus. Tibionema Solier, 1851.
Diagnosis. Tibionemini is proposed in Pityobiinae sensu Motyka et al. (2023b) as a monogeneric tribe. Currently, the nominotypical Tibionema is the only genus placed in it, and its diagnosis presented below is simultaneously the diagnosis of the tribe.
Tibionema has a medium-to-large body, flat pronotum and elytra (Fig. 1A), distant longitudinal bulges in the pronotum, and acutely prominent posterior angles of the pronotum (Fig. 1A). The prosternum is narrow, and the prosternal process is long and slender (Fig. 1B). The lateral edges of the pronotum are complete (Fig. 1E, F). There is a sharp keel between mesocoxae (Fig. 1B). Antennae are 11-segmented and serrate; the scapus is parallelsided, antennomeres 2 and 3 are short and ball-like, and antennomeres 1–3 are almost bare and shining (Fig. 1D). The abdomen has five visible segments, a short intercoxal process, a straight posterior margin of the penultimate segment, and a triangular, apically rounded last visible abdominal segment. Internal abdominal segments consist of long, narrow penultimate, and small ultimate sternites (Fig. 1H). Tibionema and Pityobius differ in the number of antennomeres (twelve in Pityobius versus eleven in Tibionema); the posterior pronotal angles bent toward the body in Tibionema (also in Hapatesus and Oxynopterus), but not in Pityobius. Tibionema has a prominent intercoxal keel in the mesosternum (Fig. 1B) that has not been observed in other Pityobiinae. Campyloxenus differs in much longer antennomere 3. The larva and pupa of T. abdominalis were described by Angulo (Angulo, 1970).
Remark. Here, Tibionemini trib. nov. is proposed due to the unavailability of the same name published earlier by Motyka et al. (2023b). As we cannot get a response from the journal and rectify this omission in another way, we have to re-publish the description to make it valid in the sense of the Code (ICZN 2012).

description: Heating a solid sphere at the surface induces mechanical stresses inside the sphere. If a finite amount of heat is supplied, the stresses gradually disappear as temperature becomes homogeneous throughout the sphere. We show that before this happens, there is a temporary lowering of pressure and density in the interior of the sphere, inducing a transient lowering of the temperature here. For ordinary solids this effect is small because c_p is almost equal to c_V. For fluent liquids the effect is negligible because their dynamic shear modulus vanishes. For a liquid at its glass transition, however, the effect is generally considerably larger than in solids. This paper presents analytical solutions of the relevant coupled thermoviscoelastic equations. In general, there is a difference between the isobaric specific heat, c_p, measured at constant isotropic pressure and the longitudinal specific heat, c_l, pertaining to mechanical boundary conditions that confine the associated expansion to be longitudinal. In the exact treatment of heat propagation the heat diffusion constant contains c_l rather than c_p. We show that the key parameter controlling the magnitude of the "cooling-by-heating" effect is the relative difference between these two specific heats. For a typical glass-forming liquid, when temperature at the surface is increased by 1 K, a lowering of the temperature in the sphere center of order 5 mK is expected if the experiment is performed at the glass transition. The cooling-by-heating effect is confirmed by measurements on a 19 mm diameter glucose sphere at the glass transition.

description: In this paper we calculate the center-of-mass energy of two colliding test particles near the rotating and non-rotating Horava-Lifshitz black hole. For the case of slowly rotating KS solution of Horava-Lifshitz black hole we compare our results with the case of Kerr black holes. We confirm the limited value of the center-of-mass energy for the static black holes and unlimited value of the center-of-mass energy for the rotating black holes. Numerically, we discuss temperature dependence of the center-of-mass energy on the black hole horizon. We obtain the critical angular momentum of particles. In this limit the center-of-mass energy of two colliding particles in the neighborhood of the rotating Horava-Lifshitz black hole could be arbitrarily high. We found appropriate conditions where the critical angular momentum could have an orbit outside the horizon. Finally, we obtain center-of-mass energy corresponding to this circle orbit.

description: California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) roots and suspension cultures accumulate an assortment of structurally and functionally diverse benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, notably the antimicrobial sanguinarine in the cell and the media. In E. californica cell suspension cultures, alkaloid biosynthesis is induced by treatment with certain biotic and abiotic elicitors, which activates plant defense responses. Sanguinarine accumulated in the media is taken up into the cell through a potential active transport process. A large and widely distributed superfamily of proteins found in bacteria, fungi, plants and animals called adenosine triphosphate binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been implicated in the influx of alkaloids in plants. We report the isolation and characterization of a full-length cDNA encoding a homologous ABC transporter EcABCB1 from California poppy. The gene encoding EcABCB1 transcripts were detected in all California poppy plant organs. Evidence has shown that EcABCB1 is an inducible, plasma membrane localized, multi-specific ABC transporter sensitive to vanadate.

description: The proposed research contributes to the development of biometric systems and its applications. The facial biometric, as a part of the underlying technology, is a focus of this thesis. Specifically, it is aimed at developing the new concepts of biometrics systems, such as systems with situational awareness, interviewing, and human-machine interaction support system that analyze human behavioral biometrics. The systems make use of facial expression data, besides the traditional visual-spectrum data for face recognition. A new technique for facial expression recognition (FER), in particular, is targeted in this thesis as one of the important components in human behavior analysis. Combined with face recognition (FR), it is a basis for a multi-biometric decision support tool. Most of the available approaches for the recognition of faces and expressions only consider either the expression-invariant face recognition or the facial expression recognition regardless of identity. This research proposes a facial biometric analysis using a new facial feature detection based on a modified Frangi filter. The joint FR/FER uses new feature extraction technique called Gauss-Laguerre wavelets, which provides rich and unique features suitable for expressions classification and identity recognition. In addition, this study considers facial biometric in infrared spectrum, which provides additional information (such as face region temperature) which is required, in particular, at a border check point. Moreover, recognition of expressions from video is investigated to show the extendibility of the proposed technique for video processing as well.
Implementation of the asthma control test in a primary care practice

description: Purpose of the ProjectThe Asthma Control Test (ACT) was developed in 2004 as a brief screening questionnaire that assesses a patient’s asthma control and recent symptoms (Nathan et al., 2004). The ACT is available in 35 languages, is free and widely available in print and online, and takes approximately one minute to conduct (American Thoracic Society, 2016). However, despite the availability and ease of use, many primary care practices are not using this important tool. This project evaluated the implementation of the ACT in a large primary care practice in Northern New Jersey and evaluated the impact it has on asthma outcomes. A brief, 15-minute educational session about the ACT and how to properly document the results in the electronic medical record was conducted for all medical providers, nurses, and medical assistants in internal medicine. MethodologyA retrospective chart review was performed to assess for compliance with the ACT and documentation of the score, and to evaluate whether a change to the asthma management plan was initiated based on the result of the ACT score. ResultsIt was found that after the brief educational session, the ACT was conducted on 28% of patients with a diagnosis of asthma, which is an improvement from the 15% of patients who had the Asthma Control Questionnaire performed prior to the intervention.Implications for PracticeUtilizing the ACT in a primary care practice can improve the evaluation of presence of asthma symptoms and increase the number of patients who receive a change to their asthma management plan.

description: Due to the technical difficulty of building large quantum computers, it is important to be able to estimate how faithful a given implementation is to an ideal quantum computer. The common approach of completely characterizing the computation process via quantum process tomography requires an exponential amount of resources, and thus is not practical even for relatively small devices. We solve this problem by demonstrating that twirling experiments previously used to characterize the average fidelity of quantum memories efficiently can be easily adapted to estimate the average fidelity of the experimental implementation of important quantum computation processes, such as unitaries in the Clifford group, in a practical and efficient manner with applicability in current quantum devices. Using this procedure, we demonstrate state-of-the-art coherent control of an ensemble of magnetic moments of nuclear spins in a single crystal solid by implementing the encoding operation for a 3 qubit code with only a 1% degradation in average fidelity discounting preparation and measurement errors. We also highlight one of the advances that was instrumental in achieving such high fidelity control.

description: Ices regulate much of the chemistry during star formation and account for up to 80% of the available oxygen and carbon. In this paper, we use the Spitzer c2d ice survey, complimented with data sets on ices in cloud cores and high-mass protostars, to determine standard ice abundances and to present a coherent picture of the evolution of ices during low- and high-mass star formation. The median ice composition H2O:CO:CO2:CH3OH:NH3:CH4:XCN is 100:29:29:3:5:5:0.3 and 100:13:13:4:5:2:0.6 toward low- and high-mass protostars, respectively, and 100:31:38:4:-:-:- in cloud cores. In the low-mass sample, the ice abundances with respect to H2O of CH4, NH3, and the component of CO2 mixed with H2O typically vary by <25%, indicative of co-formation with H2O. In contrast, some CO and CO2 ice components, XCN and CH3OH vary by factors 2-10 between the lower and upper quartile. The XCN band correlates with CO, consistent with its OCN- identification. The origin(s) of the different levels of ice abundance variations are constrained by comparing ice inventories toward different types of protostars and background stars, through ice mapping, analysis of cloud-to-cloud variations, and ice (anti-)correlations. Based on the analysis, the first ice formation phase is driven by hydrogenation of atoms, which results in a H2O-dominated ice. At later prestellar times, CO freezes out and variations in CO freeze-out levels and the subsequent CO-based chemistry can explain most of the observed ice abundance variations. The last important ice evolution stage is thermal and UV processing around protostars, resulting in CO desorption, ice segregation and formation of complex organic molecules. The distribution of cometary ice abundances are consistent with with the idea that most cometary ices have a protostellar origin.

Hiekeolycus Winkler, 1987: 66.
Type species: Hiekeolycus berendti Winkler, 1987 (original designation).
Diagnosis. Hiekeolycus resembles related Helcophorus Fairmaire in general appearance. The genera differ in the structure of the elytral humeri. The humeral bulge is built only by costa 3 in Hiekeolycus (Fig. 2A,C) and by costae 3 and 4 in Helcophorus.
Justification of the name resurrection. Hiekeolycus Winkler, 1987 has been considered a synonym of Helcophorus Fairmaire, 1881 (Kazantsev 2004, 2013) as these genera are similar, and the elytral humeri of H. berendti and H. ekaterinae were poorly seen (Kazantsev & Perkovsky 2022; Winkler 1987). We compared all Eocene species with extant Helcophorus and noted differently arranged costae. Therefore, we resurrect Hiekeolycus as a separate genus.

description: A theoretical model for understanding the formation of interfacial thin films is presented, which combines density functional theory calculations for interface energies with thermodynamic modeling techniques for multicomponent bulk systems. The theory is applied to thin film formation in VC-doped WC-Co cemented carbides. It is predicted that ultrathin VC films may exist in WC/Co interfaces at the high temperature sintering conditions where most of the WC grain growth occurs, which provides an explanation of the grain growth inhibiting effect of VC additions in the WC-Co system.

description: A study of magnetic states of equal-sided hexagonal Permalloy nanodots has been conducted via micromagnetics simulation. With various side length, thickness and interior angle, magnetic state has been characterized for all hexagonal nanodots. A new boundary between single domain and vortex state on the dependency of uniaxial shape anisotropy has been discovered. Based on the characterized magnetic state of each hexagonal nanodot, several acceptable magnetic switching performances were obtained from hexagonal nanodots at single domain state. Magnetic logic gate using hexagonal Permalloy nanodots has been accomplished and it offers low power dissipation and high integration density of a functional circuit. Transmission of information from one magnetic logic gate to the neighbouring hexagonal nanodot has been partially implemented. Opportunities for improved information transmission between magnetic logic gates are promising with proposed schemes.
Research Perspectives On The Public Domain

description: This document presents an edited transcript of the one-day event, ‘Research Perspectives on the Public Domain’, held at the University of Glasgow on 11thOctober, 2013. The public domain is a subject of vital interest to legal scholars, but its implications are far reaching – indeed, the public domain concept is germane to subjects as diverse as film and media studies, economics, political science and organisational theory. It was a central purpose of the workshop to arrive at a workable definition of the public domain suitable for empirical investigation. The traditional definition (1) takes the copyright term as the starting point, and defines the public domain as “out of copyright”, i.e. all uses of a copyright work are possible.  A second, more fine-grained definition (2) still relies on the statutory provisions of copyright law, and asks what activities are possible with respect to a copyright work without asking for permission (e.g. because use is related to “underlying ideas” not appropriating substantial expressions, or because use is covered by specific copyright exceptions). A third definition (3) includes as part of the public domain all uses that are possible under permissive private ordering schemes (such as creative commons licences).  A forth definition (4) moves into a space that includes use that would formally be copyright infringement but is endorsed, or at least tolerated by certain communities of practice (e.g. machinima or fan fiction).

The conference was designed to test these definitional approaches, and national and international speakers from relevant disciplinary fields were invited to share their research projects, with a particular focus on the underlying concept of the public domain.  This document is a citable documentation of those presentations, along with a panel discussion that followed.  This event was funded through a Knowledge Exchange grant, ‘Valuing the Public Domain’, from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC ES/K008137/1) and the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO).  The digital resource was funded by CREATe, the RCUK Centre for Copyright and New Business Models in the Creative Economy (AH/K000179/1).

Exact time-dependent density functional theory for impurity models
Creators: name: Schmitteckert, Peter
name: Dzierzawa, Michael

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We employ the density matrix renormalization group to construct the exact time-dependent exchange correlation potential for an impurity model with an applied transport voltage. Even for short-ranged interaction we find an infinitely long-ranged exchange correlation potential which is built up {instantly} after switching on the voltage. Our result demonstrates the fundamental difficulties of transport calculations based on time-dependent density functional theory. While formally the approach works, important information can be missing in the ground-state functionals and may be hidden in the usually unknown non-equilibrium functionals.
ROLE OF CYTOKINES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIVER CIRRHOSIS, WHICH DEVELOPED AS A RESULT OF CHRONIC VIRAL HEPATITIS D
Creators: name: Elmurodova, Aziza
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Under conditions of inefficient SGD elimination, phenotypic activated lymphocytes that change in the course of infection chronicling form cytokines with profibrosis effects, which then trigger fibroblasts, endothelial cells, stellacites, as well as cause the marrow-derived recirculating cells to transform into myofibroblasts as well as the development of liver fibrosis. Cytokines are soluble proteins that are developed by a wide range of cells, primarily Th1 and Th2 type cells. These lymphocytes are able to recognize cells damaged by the virus and directly and indirectly control the strength of the immunological and inflammatory response. In chronic viral hepatitis, the formation of cytokines and their levels are described as impaired due to the persistence of viruses.

retrospective invasive species monitoring

description: In a time of unprecedented global environmental change, understanding the response of biodiversity is paramount. However, our knowledge of anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems is limited by a lack of standardized retrospective biomonitoring data. Here, we use four-decade time series of archived blue mussels to trace spatiotemporal biodiversity change in coastal ecosystems. The filter-feeding mussels can serve as natural eDNA samplers, carrying an imprint of the surrounding aquatic community at the time of sampling. By sequencing the preserved DNA, we characterize highly diverse mussel-associated communities and reconstruct the invasion trajectory of an invasive species to the detriment of native taxa uncovering repeated population collapses and reinvasions after cold winters. Time series of natural eDNA samplers provide highly resolved temporal data on community assembly and global warming-driven invasion processes and overcome critical shortfalls in our understanding of biodiversity change in the Anthropocene.

description: We investigate magnetic nano-pillars, in which two thin ferromagnetic nanoparticles are separated by a nanometer thin nonmagnetic spacer and can be set into stable spin vortex-pair configurations. The 16 ground states of the vortex-pair system are characterized by parallel or antiparallel chirality and parallel or antiparallel core-core alignment. We detect and differentiate these individual vortex-pair states experimentally and analyze their dynamics analytically and numerically. Of particular interest is the limit of strong core-core coupling, which we find can dominate the spin dynamics in the system. We observe that the 0.2 GHz gyrational resonance modes of the individual vortices are replaced with 2-6 GHz range collective rotational and vibrational core-core resonances in the configurations where the cores form a bound pair. These results demonstrate new opportunities in producing and manipulating spin states on the nanoscale and may prove useful for new types of ultra-dense storage devices where the information is stored as multiple vortex-core configurations.
Computer Vision based Indoor Navigation Utilizing Information from Planar Surfaces

description: Traditional wireless signalling based outdoor navigation techniques generally result in unsatisfactory performance for indoor environments due to low signal strength and multipath distortions. Computer vision (CV) sensors, due to their low cost and high performance, have gained enormous interest in indoor navigation over the past years. CV based 6DOF trajectory estimation is understood to be a computationally intensive ill-posed problem. Drastic simplification and enhanced robustness are possible in scenarios where camera observed features are constrained to a plane, such as a floor surface. Furthermore, if the features have geometric patterns, such as a regularly tiled surface, significantly more powerful constraints can be implemented. Exploration of such constraints is the aim of this thesis. Experimental results show that centimeter level accuracy in trajectory estimation can be achieved for arbitrary camera motion spanning several meters. As shown in this thesis, this accuracy is a result of constraints due to planar features observed.

description: In this work, Ag0 nanoparticles (NPs)were synthesized and detected by flow-injection analysis coupled to collinear dual-beam thermal lens spectrometric (TLS) detection. The estimated limit of detection was 0.8 microgram/L. The use of 2 the IonPac Cryptand G1 column enabled Ag0 NPs detection in the presence of interfering ions normally present in water. Ag0 nanofluids (NFs) were further characterized by time-resolved TLS and beam deflection spectrometry to determine the NFs thermal diffusivity and conductivity. The applied methods were found to be fast, simple,reliable, and highly sensitive.

description: We present high-precision timing of five millisecond pulsars (MSPs) carried out for more than seven years; four pulsars are in binary systems and one is isolated. We are able to measure the pulsars' proper motions and derive an estimate for their space velocities. The measured two-dimensional velocities are in the range 70-210 km/s, consistent with those measured for other MSPs. We also use all the available proper motion information for isolated and binary MSPs to update the known velocity distribution for these populations. As found by earlier works, we find that the velocity distribution of binary and isolated MSPs are indistinguishable with the current data. Four of the pulsars in our observing program are highly recycled with low-mass white dwarf companions and we are able to derive accurate binary parameters for these systems. For three of these binary systems we are able to place initial constraints on the pulsar masses with best-fit values in the range 1.0-1.6 M_sun. The implications of the results presented here to our understanding of binary pulsar evolution are discussed. The updated parameters for the binary systems studied here, together with recently discovered similar systems, allowed us to update previous limits on the the violation of the strong equivalence principle through the parameter |Delta| to 4.6x10^-3 (95% confidence) and the violation of Lorentz-invariance/momentum-conservation through the parameter |hat{alpha}_3| to 5.5x10^-20 (95% confidence).

Radical Analysis of the Role of the Human Service Landscape in the Absence and Encapsulation of Intellectual Disability

subject: Intellectual Disability

description: The problematic explored is the inability of people engaged in understanding oppression to see the oppression of people with Intellectual Disabilities (ID). To explore this problematic, the human service landscape (HSL) for people with ID in BC was described. A framework for analysis was developed using Antonio Gramsci’s (1971) concept of ‘common sense’ and Giorgio Agamben’s (1998) concept of the double exception. The pieces of theory were taken up because they identify and describe oppression, in particular invisible oppression. The description of the HSL for people with ID in BC revealed that specialized services exist before birth and persist after death. Rough estimates of people using the HSL suggest that the majority of children with ID interact with the human service landscape. Findings from the analysis, using the framework described, suggest that the nature of the human service landscape influences social relations and normalizes the oppression of people with ID.
