description: The management of mass public transportation requires the psychology of transportation in order to design and operate a transportation system which suits the social psychology dimension of urban citizens. The aim of this research is to examine the role of personality traits, sedentariness, and personal dilemma in predicting the intention of a particular group of urban citizens to switch from using private cars to using mass public transportation. This research uses the predictive correlational design, while the research data are analyzed using the multiple linear regression technique in order to identify the main effects and interaction effects of variables which may serve as the predictors of intention. This research involves 280 university students (111 males and 169 females, with Mage = 20.90 years old and SDage = 1.943 years old) who live in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, and its surrounding urban areas as samples. The research finds that, among the Big Five personality traits, conscientiousness is the only trait which can significantly predict the intention of private car users, while sedentariness is not capable of predicting such intention. The research also finds that losses in terms of time and safety incurred from the use of private cars can lead to a much stronger intention to switch to mass public transportation. The implications of this research on the development of policies regarding transportation are elaborated in the final section of this paper.

description: We present a method to find an optimal handling bicycle using purely analytical and numerical means. Given a linear parametrized bicycle vehicle model, a simple manual controller, and a model-based metric that correlates with subjective handling measures, we formulate the search for optimal geometric parameters that give the best handling bicycle. Optimal bicycle designs for a number of design speeds are discovered including bicycles with unintuitive geometry, such as large negative trail. The resulting maximum handling quality metrics for the optimal bicycle designs follow a logarithmic relationship with respect to design speed. These optimal handling bicycles can be ridden at speeds other than the design speed and, in general, handling difficulty decreases with increasing speed. Finally, we show that there is little evidence of correlation between bicycle open-loop stability and optimal handling.

description: Historians’ interest in the history of human migrations is not limited to recent years. Migrations had already figured as explanatory factors in connection with cultural and historical change in the work of classical and ancient studies scholars of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In the writings of these scholars, migrations acted as historical landmarks or epochal thresholds and played a key role in the construction of geo‐historical areas. This model has been called “migrationism” and cannot be explained simply on the basis of the history of individual disciplines, but must be seen in its complex interaction with scientific and historical contexts. However, “migrationism” does not relate to fixed political and scientific positions or movements. For this reason, it cannot be explained adequately by using a historically or ideologically based approach. Relying on narratological approaches, this article examines migration narratives that historians of this period used to explain the rise and fall of ancient civilizations. Referring to contemporary historiographical representations of the ancient Near East, it distinguishes three main narratives that are still common today: narratives of foundation, narratives of destruction, and narratives of mixtures. In this sense, analyzing older migration narratives helps us to sharpen the critical view on the genealogy of our own views on the history—and present—of human migrations.

description: This model package contains the R codes for Windows of the instance segmentation algorithm called U-net-id descrideb in the article « U-Net-Id, an Instance Segmentation Model for Building Extraction from Satellite Images - Case Study in the Joanópolis City, Brazil» (https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12101544). A first code is for the training of the algorithm and the other is to make predictions. As I don't own the rights to publish the original very high resolution images, this example was made with a simulated image of WorldView-3 of the same resolution than the original data (0.3 m). The simulated objects to segment are geometric polygon (with similar size as houses) on a noisy green background (see in the directory ("./image_tif"). To run the model, it is assumed that you have a computer with GPU sufficient to run deep learning models (CUDA compute capacity >3.0), and Rstudio with the package keras already working (https://keras.rstudio.com/). This code is based on an adaptation of the original codes for segmentation available here :https://keras.rstudio.com/articles/examples/unet.html and here https://dzone.com/articles/deep-learning-with-r-and-keras-on-the-example-of-c. Augmentation functions were adapted from the augmentatoR package : https://github.com/statist-bhfz/augmentatoR. Our model, additionaly, to the segmentation given by the classical U-net model also give the instance segmentation (inner segment mask). With this dataset, the model validation accuracy starts to increase after ~1 to 3 epochs. After ~15 epochs, the validation accuracy is >0.95 and reach 0.99% at epoch 150. On my computer, one epoch runs in 88s. The R codes and the simulated data are distributed in a .zip of ~386 Mo. The RGB images are in the directory "./image_tif" and the labelled masks of the objects coded in RGB ([1,0,0]=segment, [0,1,0]=inner segment and [0,0,1]=border) are in the directory "./classe_tif". Pretrained weights for 150 epochs are found in the directory "./weights_r_save". The model was run with the following libraries: Python 3.6.3, RStudio Version 1.2.5001, R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05), R keras package version 2.2.4.1.9001 and tensorflow 1.12.0 version and a Nvidia GeForce 2080.

description: Background In the past, plyometric training (PT) has been predominantly performed on stable surfaces. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine effects of a 7-week lower body PT on stable vs. unstable surfaces. This type of exercise condition may be denoted as metastable equilibrium. Methods Thirty-three physically active male sport science students (age: 24.1 ± 3.8 years) were randomly assigned to a PT group (n = 13) exercising on stable (STAB) and a PT group (n = 20) on unstable surfaces (INST). Both groups trained countermovement jumps, drop jumps, and practiced a hurdle jump course. In addition, high bar squats were performed. Physical fitness tests on stable surfaces (hexagonal obstacle test, countermovement jump, hurdle drop jump, left-right hop, dynamic and static balance tests, and leg extension strength) were used to examine the training effects. Results Significant main effects of time (ANOVA) were found for the countermovement jump, hurdle drop jump, hexagonal test, dynamic balance, and leg extension strength. A significant interaction of time and training mode was detected for the countermovement jump in favor of the INST group. No significant improvements were evident for either group in the left-right hop and in the static balance test. Conclusions These results show that lower body PT on unstable surfaces is a safe and efficient way to improve physical performance on stable surfaces.

description: Background: For heterogeneous tissues, such as blood, measurements of gene expression are confounded by relative proportions of cell types involved. Conclusions have to rely on estimation of gene expression signals for homogeneous cell populations, e.g. by applying micro-dissection, fluorescence activated cell sorting, or in-silico deconfounding. We studied feasibility and validity of a non-negative matrix decomposition algorithm using experimental gene expression data for blood and sorted cells from the same donor samples. Our objective was to optimize the algorithm regarding detection of differentially expressed genes and to enable its use for classification in the difficult scenario of reversely regulated genes. This would be of importance for the identification of candidate biomarkers in heterogeneous tissues. Results: Experimental data and simulation studies involving noise parameters estimated from these data revealed that for valid detection of differential gene expression, quantile normalization and use of non-log data are optimal. We demonstrate the feasibility of predicting proportions of constituting cell types from gene expression data of single samples, as a prerequisite for a deconfounding-based classification approach. Classification cross-validation errors with and without using deconfounding results are reported as well as sample-size dependencies. Implementation of the algorithm, simulation and analysis scripts are available. Conclusions: The deconfounding algorithm without decorrelation using quantile normalization on non-log data is proposed for biomarkers that are difficult to detect, and for cases where confounding by varying proportions of cell types is the suspected reason. In this case, a deconfounding ranking approach can be used as a powerful alternative to, or complement of, other statistical learning approaches to define candidate biomarkers for molecular diagnosis and prediction in biomedicine, in realistically noisy conditions and with moderate sample sizes.

description: During reading, saccadic eye movements are generated to shift words into the center of the visual field for lexical processing. Recently, Krugel and Engbert (Vision Research 50:1532-1539, 2010) demonstrated that within-word fixation positions are largely shifted to the left after skipped words. However, explanations of the origin of this effect cannot be drawn from normal reading data alone. Here we show that the large effect of skipped words on the distribution of within-word fixation positions is primarily based on rather subtle differences in the low-level visual information acquired before saccades. Using arrangements of "x" letter strings, we reproduced the effect of skipped character strings in a highly controlled single-saccade task. Our results demonstrate that the effect of skipped words in reading is the signature of a general visuomotor phenomenon. Moreover, our findings extend beyond the scope of the widely accepted range-error model, which posits that within-word fixation positions in reading depend solely on the distances of target words. We expect that our results will provide critical boundary conditions for the development of visuomotor models of saccade planning during reading.

title: Linearly polarised pion photoproduction on the deuteron

Subjects: subject: Hadron, nuclear, photoproduction, deuteron, polarisation.

description: Measurements of the linear polarisation asymmetry in pion photoproduction on both the proton and neutron have been performed with a liquid deuterium target using the Mainzer Microtron and Crystal Ball detector at the Johannes Gutenberg Universität in Mainz. These results, particularly the π 0 n channel, provide current models attempting to describe the nucleon resonance spectrum and properties with essential constraints. Measurements on the neutron are essential to determine isospin amplitudes of the nucleon resonance spectrum. The experiment featured a photon beam polarised through coherent bremsstrahlung of a 1.5 GeV electron beam on an aligned diamond radiator. The target was cryogenic liquid deuterium cooled to 23 K. Detection of the produced π 0 s was achieved through their dominant decay to two photons which were subsequently recorded in high density scintillating crystal calorimeters, known as the Crystal Ball and TAPS. The same detectors were used to determine the direction of the recoiling proton or neutron while thin plastic scintillator was used to distinguish between the two nucleons. Results on the proton are consistent with previous measurements and predictions from groups performing partial wave analysis to determine the resonance properties. Results on the neutron are measured for the first time in this energy regime spanning the first and second resonance regions and favour the SAID partial wave analysis solution.

description: Draft literature review.

The literature on research data management is almost unanimous about the general benefits of making data available as a positive step for open access and scientific progress (Kratz & Strasser, 2014). However, there is disagreement about how research data co-exists with scholarly articles, how they are discovered and accessed, their influence on impact, and the technical infrastructure requirements needed to meet the growing demands of multidisciplinary research data now and in the future. Specifically, we see concerns related to the discoverability of this growing source of information, inconsistencies in platform metadata requirements and usage, and at times a sense of confusion from researchers and information professionals about how open science and research data management is supposed to work across disciplines. While platform infrastructure and usage problems do exist, there are several exciting areas of development around research data and open science that bring together new technology and traditional ideas of scholarly contribution.

description: Introductory bibliometrics-based data visualization and textual analysis of bibliographic and citation data from scholarly articles in the Arts and Humanities Citation Index.
The research questions supporting this project are: what humanities journals have published articles related to the topic of technology, how is that topic represented in humanities articles, and, how has frequency of use of this keyword changed in humanities publishing? I have chosen to explore bibliographic data (reference information from published journal articles) indexed in the Web of Knowledge Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI). The application of citation-based metrics is difficult in the humanities and the citation data provides a unique component to this analysis. To explore the data in meaningful ways and answer the research questions (in the limited space provided for the current project), I am interested in which journals have published papers using the keyword “technology” and the associated article title, keywords, subject category, abstract, and times cited. For general comparative purposes, we focus on journal articles in AHCI published in 1990/91 (combined), 2000, and 2014 (in total, approximately 2,300 of the 218,000 articles in AHCI for these dates).

The lower-level application of technology skills in undergraduate and graduate humanities courses - and how they compare to science courses - is the focus of this research proposal. Given the differences in the use of digital technology between disciplines, and the need to build technology skills usage through education and engagement in the humanities, this research proposal explores the main research question, “how is the use of computer technology skills by students to complete assignments in humanities courses different than in science courses?” This is a unique approach as the literature does not provide examples of analysis of humanities syllabi or comparisons of computer technology skills usage in syllabi across disciplines, institutions, and time.

description: Particulate matter (PM) which is emitted by many industrial processes such as incineration and combustion posed a serious threat to human health and the environment. Respiratory diseases such as emphysema and bronchitis; and visibility reduction are the two main problem caused by atmospheric PM. There are two main types of PM. Primary PM are larger sized particles (>1 μm) created mainly by mechanical means. Secondary PM are smaller sized particles (< 1 μm) created mainly by the condensation of hot vapour gases into nuclei which would tend to grow to larger particles through the mechanisms of coagulation and agglomeration. Nitrate in atmospheric PM has its roots in the emission of NO and NO2 into the air. The NO would be oxidized into NO2 which would be subsequently oxidized into NO3. The nitrate formed can be titrated with ammonia in the air to form ammonium nitrate which is less than 1 μm diameter. If there is insufficient ammonia in the air, the nitrate would react with the alkaline cationic salts such as calcium carbonate in the air to form larger sized particles of more than 1 μm diameter.

description: Lead is one of the ubiquitous contaminants in the environment with concentrations in the soil varying in the range 1 to 200 mg/kg with 15 mg/kg as a mean value. Concentrations significantly higher than those stated here can be found in hazardous landfills or other heavily contaminated sites. Lead is commonly associated with retarded mental growth in young children as it attacks the central nervous system. Blood lead level above 10 μg/dL would indicate overexposure to lead. Thus there is a need to quantify the mobility of lead in soil and the mechanism that it controlling its mobility. In this experiment, a modified Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure is used to extract lead out of soil with extraction solution of pH range between 1 to 13. The lead concentration in the extracted solution is measured by the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The lead concentration data is then used to create a pC-pH diagram which is then compared to that of Pb(OH)2. This experiment determined that Pb(OH)2 doesn’t control the mobility of lead in the soil sample investigated. The mobility of lead is lower than that predicted by control due to Pb(OH)2 and thus a combination of other more insoluble lead precipitates may be controlling the mobility of lead. The mobility of lead in the soil is very low. Further studies could be conducted to ascertain the exact lead precipitate that is controlling the mobility of lead in the soil investigated using instruments such as ICP-MS which is able to detect to parts per billion level.

description: Despite many investigations have focused on the pristine toxicity of gold nanoparticles (GNPs), little is known about the outcome of co-exposure and interaction of GNPs with heavy metals which can possibly detoxify or potentiate them. Here, the combined exposure of nickel (II) sulfate (NiSO4) and GNPs on the maturation response of dendritic cells (DCs) was explored. Exposure to GNPs or NiSO4 separately induced cell activation. When cells were exposed to a mixture of both, however, the observed cell activation pattern indicated a competitive rather than an additive effect of both inducers with levels similar to those induced by NiSO4 alone. Quantification of the GNP uptake by DCs demonstrated a significant decrease in intracellular gold content during co-incubation with NiSO4. An extensive physiochemical characterization was performed to determine the interaction between GNPs and NiSO4 in the complex physiological media using nanoparticle tracking analyses, disc centrifugation, UV–visible spectroscopy, ICP-MS analyses, zeta potential measurements, electron microscopy, and proteomics. Although GNPs and NiSO4 did not directly interact with each other, the presence of NiSO4 in the physiological media resulted in changes in GNPs' charge and their associated protein corona (content and composition), which may contribute to a decreased cellular uptake of GNPs and sustaining the nickel-induced DC maturation. The presented results provide new insights in the interaction of heavy metals and NPs in complex physiological media. Moreover, this study highlights the necessity of mixture toxicology, since these combined exposures are highly relevant for human subjection to NPs and risk assessment of nanomaterials.

description: Pansexuality is a growing sexual identity that has become immensely popular in U.S. culture within the previous decade. Currently, little is known about the distinct difference between pansexuality and other sexual orientations/identities; most of what is known comes from popular press and statements by celebrities that have publicly identified as pansexual. As a method of distinguishing and privileging pansexuality as a distinct sexuality, a document and content analysis related to pansexuality was conducted on public blogs and posts from the Internet. Several themes were analyzed, including definition, comparison to bisexuality, identity development, celebrities/media, normalization, and panerasure. Through analysis of 55 unique online posts related to the topic, a proposal consensus statement is offered that attempts to give voice to the pansexual identity as distinctive. In addition, a discussion is offered related to the development and media influence of the pansexual identity—including the emerging concept of panerasure.

description: Background: Voice has been widely used as a non-invasive biomarker in the monitoring of many diseases. Heart failure causes oedema of the vocal cords, which can lead to voice changes. Therefore, it is biologically plausible to diagnose heart failure by voice analysis. However, what specific voice markers are available and exactly how they are applied in heart failure is widely explored.
Objectives: The aim of this scoping review is to summarize the findings on the application of voice biomarkers in the field of heart failure, including diagnosis, care and management.
Methods: A scoping review is conducted following the framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus and IEEE Xplore databases are searched from inception to January 2024. Title and abstract screening and full-text review are performed in the Literature Management Software, in which all articles are independently reviewed by two researchers. We included articles written in English that fit the research theme and to evaluate voice biomarkers in heart failure. Two researchers worked back-to-back to extract the data into Excel and summarize them.
Results: The scoping review will be completed in April of 2024. The results will describe where the study was conducted, which voice biomarkers were used in the diagnosis, care, and management of heart failure, how these voice biomarkers were collected, analyzed, and applied.
Conclusion: The findings of this scoping review will provide an overall status of the use of voice biomarkers in heart failure. This information is important for understanding the key issues that need attention so that voice information can be widely used in the diagnosis, care and management of heart failure.

description: The basic implications of changes in delivery pressure on system energy use and cost, on leakage, excess pressure, and environmental impacts are explored. An analytical expression is first developed to characterize the primary relationships between energy use, leakage and pressure for a simple pipe segment. Then, two more realistic case studies, based on varying versions of the Anytown network, are considered. The results indicate that energy use responds more to changes in the delivery pressure in systems with higher leakage rates while reductions in pressures curtail energy use and leakage more dramatically in low resistance systems. Perhaps more surprisingly, systems with more effective water storage and thus uniform pressures tend to have higher leakage rates, greater energy usage, and higher GHG emissions relative to systems relying on direct pumping. The generalization that results from these studies is perhaps predictable but has profound implications: the higher the delivery pressure the greater will likely be the amount of water wasted and energy dissipated.

description: The air–liquid interfacial behaviour of linear perfluoroalkylalkanes (PFAAs) is reported through a combined experimental and computer simulation study. The surface tensions of seven liquid PFAAs (perfluorobutylethane, F4H2; perfluorobutylpentane, F4H5; perfluorobutylhexane, F4H6, perfluorobutyloctane, F4H8; perfluorohexylethane, F6H2; perfluorohexylhexane, F6H6; and perfluorohexyloctane, F6H8) are experimentally determined over a wide temperature range (276–350 K). The corresponding surface thermodynamic properties and the critical temperatures of the studied compounds are estimated from the temperature dependence of the surface tension. Experimental density and vapour pressure data are employed to parameterize a generic heteronuclear coarse-grained intermolecular potential of the SAFT-γ family for PFAAs. The resulting force field is used in direct molecular-dynamics simulations to predict the experimental tensions with quantitative agreement and to explore the conformations of the molecules in the interfacial region revealing a preferential alignment of the PFAA molecules towards the interface and an enrichment of the perfluoro groups at the outer interface region.

description: The potential energy curves (PECs) of 24 Λ–S electronic states of superoxide anion (O2−), which correlated with the first dissociation channel, were calculated using a high-accuracy internally contracted multireference configuration interaction (icMRCI) methodology with the Davidson correction in conjunction with the correlation-consistent basis sets. The core electron correlation and scalar relativistic corrections as well as basis set extrapolation were included. The spin–orbit coupling was also taken into account by using the state interaction approach with the Breit–Pauli Hamiltonian. The PECs of 54 Ω states generated from the 24 Λ–S states were constructed and described in detail. The spectroscopic constants of the seventeen Λ–S and 37 Ω bound states were evaluated and the vibrational properties of some weakly bound states were predicted. Comparing with the available experimental and theoretical data shows that the computational strategy employed is suitable and highly accurate for this system.

description: An efficient synthesis of benzo[c]thiophenyl/p-phenylenyl/pyrenyl phosphonate esters has been achieved using ZnBr2-catalyzed Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction of corresponding benzyl alcohol/bromides at room temperature. Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction of the phosphonate esters with aryl/heteroaryl aldehydes in the presence of t-BuOK furnished the vinylenes in good yields. The absorption and emission characteristics of the synthesized vinylenes were also reported.

description: In this work, we aimed to synthesize and characterize a novel tetra-directional ligand, (2E,2′E)-2,2′-((((2-(1,3-bis(4-((E)-(2-carbamothioylhydrazono)methyl)phenoxy)propan-2-ylidene)propane-1,3-diyl)bis(oxy))bis(4,1-phenylene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(hydrazinecarbothioamide) (5), including thiosemicarbazone group and its novel tetra-directional-tetra-nuclear Schiff base complexes. For this purpose, we used 1,4-dibromo-2,3-bis(bromomethyl)but-2-ene (2) as starting material. 4,4′-((2-(1,3-Bis(4-formylphenoxy)propan-2-ylidene)propane-1,3-diyl) bis(oxy))dibenzaldehyde (3) was synthesized by the reaction of an equivalent 1,4-dibromo-2,3-bis(bromomethyl)but-2-ene (2) and 4 equivalents of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Then, compound 5 was synthesized in high yield (86%) by a condensation reaction of compound 3 with thiosemicarbazide (4). Finally, four novel tetra-nuclear Cr(III) or Fe(III) complexes of compound 5 were synthesized. The synthesized compounds were characterized using elemental analyses, 1H NMR, Fourier transform–infrared spectrometry, liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (ESI+), and thermal analyses. The metal ratios of the prepared complexes were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. We also investigated their effects on the magnetic behaviors of [salen, salophen, Cr(III)/Fe(III)] capped complexes. The complexes were found to be low-spin distorted octahedral Fe(III) and distorted octahedral Cr(III), all bridged by thiosemicarbazone.
