description: We investigate a problem in which each member of a group of learners is trained separately to solve the same classification task. Each learner has access to a training dataset (possibly with overlap across learners) but each trained classifier can be evaluated on a validation dataset. We propose a new approach to aggregate the learner predictions in the possibility theory framework. For each classifier prediction, we build a possibility distribution assessing how likely the classifier prediction is correct using frequentist probabilities estimated on the validation set. The possibility distributions are aggregated using an adaptive t-norm that can accommodate dependency and poor accuracy of the classifier predictions. We prove that the proposed approach possesses a number of desirable classifier combination robustness properties.

description: We probe the properties of the transient X-ray pulsar MAXI J1409$-$619 through \textit{RXTE} and \textit{Swift} follow up observations of the outburst in 2010. We are able to phase connect the pulse arrival times for the 25 days episode during the outburst. We suggest that either an orbital model (with $P_{\rm{orb}} \simeq 14.7(4)$ days) or a noise process due to random torque fluctuations (with $S_r \approx 1.3 \times 10^{-18}$ Hz$^2$ s$^{-2}$ Hz$^{-1}$) is plausible to describe the residuals of the timing solution. The frequency derivatives indicate a positive torque-luminosity correlation, that implies a temporary accretion disc formation during the outburst. We also discover several quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in company with their harmonics whose centroid frequencies decrease as the source flux decays. The variation of pulsed fraction and spectral power law index of the source with X-ray flux is interpreted as the sign of transition from a critical to a sub-critical accretion regime at the critical luminosity within the range of $6\times 10^{37}$ erg s$^{-1}$ to $1.2\times 10^{38}$ ergs s$^{-1}$. Using pulse-phase-resolved spectroscopy, we show that the phases with higher flux tend to have lower photon indices, indicating that the polar regions produce spectrally harder emission.

Effects of culturally tailored hypertension education program among Chinese Americans
Creators: name: Lin, BinBin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Purpose of Project: Hypertension (HTN) prevalence in Asians has risen dramatically compared with other ethnic groups in recent years. This quality improvement project used a faith-based setting to provide an HTN education program to improve awareness and management of HTN among Chinese. This project aimed to assess the effectiveness of the HTN education program on HTN knowledge, self-monitoring blood pressure (SMBP) techniques, lifestyle modification behaviors, and blood pressure (BP) measurement.Methodology: This project used a pre-and post-test design with interventions using American Heart Association (AHA) guided HTN education. Ten participants were recruited at a local Chinese Church. The participants received 60 minutes of in-person educational sessions on weeks one and two while providing baseline HTN knowledge, lifestyle modification behavior, SMBP, and BP measurement. The participants also received weekly text message reminders on weeks three and four regarding lifestyle modification. On Week Five, the participants repeated the HTN knowledge test, survey behavior changes, SMBP, and completed the program evaluation survey. Descriptive statistics, McNemar's test, and the Wilconxon-signed rank test were used to analyze the data.Results: Although there was no statistical significance of the overall change. When comparing participants' individual results, there were noted differences. There was an improvement in HTN knowledge, SMBP, lifestyle modification and BP measurement.Implication for Practice: The project results consigned with previous research with the need to focus on HTN education in primary care settings. Integrating HTN knowledge, lifestyle modification, and proper SMBP can help manage HTN. Reinforcement of lifestyle modification can work synergistically along with pharmacological therapy. A simple health program can fill gaps in the primary care setting by improving patient quality and safety. Thus, reducing the morbidity of HTN complications and reducing the economic burden. This project demonstrated a faith-based community as an excellent opportunity for implementing a population culturally tailored health program.

description: Traditional historical writing focuses on the cause and effect of human action, assuming that it is the historian’s responsibility to recount the ebbs and flows of human progress. In the process of laying hold of the past as a narrative of human action, historical writing has developed the tendency to marginalise nature and undermine its power to influence the historical narrative. My investigation explores the fantastic in historical fantasy as a means of resisting historical writing’s anthropocentrism. Historical fantasy uses fantastical elements to create counterfactual and alternative historical realities that have the potential to resist and undermine history’s anthropocentric norm. My thesis examines four contemporary young adult historical fantasy trilogies that reimagine key turning points in history such as industrialisation, the American frontier, European imperialism, and World War I. They share the theme of retrieving and subverting anthropocentric discourses in the history of human development and thereby creating space for nature's presence and agency. My study finds that the fantastic is an effective means of subverting historical writing’s anthropocentrism. But it also uncovers ambiguities and contradictions in historical fantasy's ecological revisionism, pointing to the idea that despite the fantastic’s capacity for subversion, historical representations of nature cannot be separated from considerations of human identity and survival.

General forms for master actions in superspace are given, and possible theories are determined by means of a ghost number prescription and the master equations. The resulting master actions determine the original actions together with their gauge invariances. Generalized Poisson sigma models in arbitrary dimensions are constructed by means of this algorithm, and other applications in low dimensions are given including the Chern-Simon model.

description: If the inflationary phase lasted longer than the minimal period, the length scales observed today originate from modes that were smaller than the Planck length during inflation. It was recently argued that this "trans-Planckian problem" can never arise in a consistent string theory framework, which places a stringent constraint on the energy scale of inflation, $V^{1/4}\lesssim 10^9$ GeV. In this paper, we show that this requirement corresponds to a very small Hubble scale during inflation, $H_{\rm inf}\lesssim 1$ GeV, and therefore has serious consequences on scenarios where the dark matter density was generated by amplification of quantum fluctuations during inflation. We also present a class of inflationary models which both satisfy the above limit for the scale of inflation and are in perfect agreement with observational data.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: In this thesis, we study the phenomenon of thermally induced polarisation using a combination of theory and computer simulation. Molecules of sufficiently low symmetry exhibit thermo-molecular orientation when subjected to a temperature gradient, leading to considerable electrostatic fields in polar liquids. Here, we first use non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to study this interesting effect numerically. To this end, we propose an integration algorithm to impose a constant heat flux in simulations and show that it greatly improves energy conservation compared to a previous algorithm. We next investigate the thermal polarisation of water and find that truncation of electrostatic interactions can lead to severe artefacts, such as the wrong sign of polarisation and an overestimation of the electric field. We further show that the quadrupole-moment contribution to the electric field is significant and responsible for an inversion of its sign. To facilitate the theoretical description of electrostatic interactions, we propose a new dipolar model fluid as a perturbation of a Stockmayer fluid. Using this modified Stockmayer model, we provide numerical evidence for the recently proposed phenomenon of thermally induced monopoles. We show that the electrostatic field generated by a pair of heated/cooled colloidal particles immersed in such a solvent can be trivially described by two Coulomb charges. Finally, we propose a mean-field theory to predict the thermo-polarisation effect exhibited by our model fluid theoretically, and demonstrate near quantitative agreement with simulation results.

Thermal Instability of Halo Gas Heated by Streaming Cosmic Rays

description: Heating of virialized gas by streaming cosmic rays (CRs) may be energetically important in galaxy halos, groups and clusters. We present a linear thermal stability analysis of plasmas heated by streaming CRs. We separately treat equilibria with and without background gradients, and with and without gravity. We include both CR streaming and diffusion along the magnetic-field direction. Thermal stability depends strongly on the ratio of CR pressure to gas pressure, which determines whether modes are isobaric or isochoric. Modes with $\mathbf{k \cdot B }\neq 0$ are strongly affected by CR diffusion. When the streaming time is shorter than the CR diffusion time, thermally unstable modes (with $\mathbf{k \cdot B }\neq 0$) are waves propagating at a speed $\propto$ the Alfvén speed. Halo gas in photoionization equilibrium is thermally stable independent of CR pressure, while gas in collisional ionization equilibrium is unstable for physically realistic parameters. In gravitationally stratified plasmas, the oscillation frequency of thermally overstable modes can be higher in the presence of CR streaming than the buoyancy/free-fall frequency. This may modify the critical $t_{\rm cool}/t_{\rm ff}$ at which multiphase gas is present. The criterion for convective instability of a stratified, CR-heated medium can be written in the familiar Schwarzschild form $d s_{\rm eff} / d z < 0$, where $s_{\rm eff}$ is an effective entropy involving the gas and CR pressures. We discuss the implications of our results for the thermal evolution and multiphase structure of galaxy halos, groups and clusters.

description: Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system, manifesting with both motor and non-motor symptoms. Autosomal recessive mutations in the FBXO7 gene have been identified to cause a rapidly progressing early-onset form of PD. Canonically, FBXO7 functions as a substrate-recruiting subunit of the SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligase. However, it also has a variety of other atypical functions, such as cell cycle regulation, proteasome regulation, and mitophagy. The overall aim of this research was to characterise the functional role of FBXO7 in various in vitro and in vivo PD models. The models examined included FBXO7 shRNA knockdown SH-SY5Y cell lines, FBXO7 CRISPR knockout SH-SY5Y cell lines, primary patient fibroblasts with a FBXO7 mutation, and MEFs and tissues from a Fbxo7 KO mouse. My analysis of fibroblasts from a patient without FBXO7 expression revealed several interesting phenotypes. Briefly, the patient fibroblasts proliferated slower due to increased apoptosis and lower CDK6 and cyclin D1 expression, which led to fewer cells progressing through the G1 phase of the cell cycle. My experiments showed that these cells also had mitochondrial respiration defects, exhibiting lower basal respiration, ATP production, maximal respiration and spare capacity, in addition to complex I, III and IV deficiencies. Patient fibroblasts also had significantly lower levels of 12S and 16S ribosomal mRNA transcripts, which are necessary for the translation of mitochondrially encoded subunits of complexes I, III, and IV. Similar phenotypes were also observed in MEFs from a Fbxo7 KO mouse model, indicating conservation between human and mouse FBXO7 in regulating mitochondria, cell death and proliferation. In a tissue-specific KO mouse model of PD, where FBXO7 expression was ablated in the dopaminergic neurons, I analysed proteins regulated by FBXO7 which might be responsible for cell loss in the substantia nigra. I discovered that RPL23, a regulator of MDM2, was ubiquitinated by SCFFbxo7 using K48 chain linkages, promoting its degradation by the proteasome. This suggests that misregulation of the MDM2:p53 axis may underlie the cell loss observed in this conditional Fbxo7 KO mouse model. In conclusion, these results elaborate on the role of FBXO7 in mitochondrial biology, and identify a new ubiquitination substrate of FBXO7 in a mouse model of PD. It is hoped that by elucidating the potential pathogenic mechanisms of FBXO7 in rare familial forms of the disease, it will be possible to translate findings to the more prevalent sporadic forms of Parkinson’s disease as well.

description: The agricultural trade policies of developing countries have not been much of an issue in international debates because the prevailing view is that most of them tax their agricultural sectors. Nevertheless, it is not clear what type of agricultural trade policy should be followed in the course of development. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the trade policy issue in the context of overall trade policy in a post-GATT economic environment, for countries that are characterized by a dual economic structure, a large agricultural sector and a large degree of poverty among the population. The arguments will be made for the case of the Philippines, an economy that fulfils the above criteria, and also a country that is currently attempting to increase its economic growth to match the pattern of other Southeast Asian newly industrializing economies. After looking at the country background, the paper describes an appropriate methodology, presents some empirical results and draws conclusions.

description: Hydrogen embrittlement in ferrous and non-ferrous alloys is, and has been for over a century, a prominent issue within many sectors of industry. Despite this, the mechanisms by which hydrogen embrittlement occurs and the suitable means for its prevention are yet to be fully established. As hydrogen fuel becomes a prominent feature in modern concepts of a sustainable global energy infrastructure and nuclear power enters its renaissance, with commercially viable fusion plants on the horizon, hydrogen embrittlement is becoming an ever more pertinent issue. This has led to a considerable demand for novel alloys resistant to hydrogen embrittlement, notably within the bearings industry, where the commonly conflicting properties of high strength and hydrogen embrittlement resistance are required. This work investigates the mechanisms through which hydrogen embrittlement and irradiation damage occur in steels and nickel-based alloys respectively, with novel alloys designed for improved resistance. Through the engineering of secondary phases, optimised for helium and/or hydrogen trapping capacity, the novel alloys present the benefits of such trapping species with respect to embrittlement resistance. Such species have been studied in depth with respect to their interactions with hydrogen, establishing a novel mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement - the hydrogen enhanced dissolution and shearability of precipitates, leading to enhanced localised plasticity.

description: Rural development has been the core focus of the Bangladesh economic policies since her independence. The rural sector is pivotal to the country‟s economic, social and political development. This paper examines the Bangladesh rural development policies, strategies and programs since Independence in 1971. Secondary data were used and collected from various sources especially from BBS and HIES. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools such as mean and percentage to reach the objectives. Results of this study show that the share of agricultural sector in the country‟s GDP has declined which is an indicator of a country‟s progress from an agriculture-based to an export-oriented economy. The success of the agricultural and rural programs in Bangladesh is reflected in the reduction in the poverty incidence in the rural sector from almost 54 percent in the 1983-84 to about 35 percent in 2009-10. Development efforts of Bangladesh are governed by the twin objectives of achieving growth with equity and reducing poverty. The government policy has to some extent achieved the intended results but poverty and inequality are still significant and apparent. Hence, rural development continues to be an important agenda to the country‟s development effort.

description: The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) introduced a micro credit scheme of N9milllion as one of the projects in the Integrated Community Development Programme (ICDP) in Delta state in 2000. UNDP appointed Lift Above Poverty Organization (LAPO) a Micro Finance Institution (MFI) in Nigeria which has developed a successful model of reaching credit to resource poor households that are generally bypassed by government financial institutions as consultants to implement the scheme in the state. This work sought to determine the return to the different economic activities funded with the loan by the beneficiaries, and ascertain the repayment/default rate of the credit programme. Analysis of data collected from 103 beneficiaries of the scheme spread across the three agricultural zones of the state suggests that the productivity of labour was higher than the estimated wage rate and the rate of return was higher than the interest charged on the loan. It is recommended that since the micro credit has been effective in improving the livelihood of the low income house-holds, the government should mobilize adequate donor support on behalf of the micro credit institutions.

description: Additional file 5: Figure S5. Open field testing. A) No significant interaction was identified by mixed ANOVA between TDP-43M337V and doxycycline (DOX) reduction over time on cumulative distance traveled, (n ≥ 5/group, p = 0.161). Similarly, there were no main effects of time (p = 0.421) or genotype (p = 0.502) on cumulative distance traveled. B) Within ChAT-tTA/TRE-TDP-43M337V rats, there were no significant main effects of time (p = 0.824), tau injection groups (p = 0.085), or the interaction between the two on cumulative distance traveled (n ≥ 3/group, p = 0.300). C) Mixed ANOVA revealed a significant interaction between TDP-43M337V and DOX reduction over time on thigmotaxis, (n ≥ 4/group, p = 0.022). The main effect of time also showed a statistically significant difference in mean thigmotaxis at the different time points, (p = 0.039), however post hoc t-tests with Bonferroni correction revealed no significant differences between any of the time points (p ≥ 0.05). There was also a significant difference in mean thigmotaxis between ChAT-tTA/TRE-TDP-43M337V and TDP-43 controls (p = 0.039) regardless of the time, suggesting that control animal generally spent more time in the perimeter as opposed to the centre of the open-field (* p ≤ 0.05). D) Within ChAT-tTA/TRE-TDP-43M337V rats, there was no significant interaction between tau and time on thigmotaxis, (n ≥ 3/group, p = 0.240). Main effect of time showed a statistically significant difference in mean thigmotaxis at the different time points (p = 0.001) and post hoc t-tests with Bonferroni correction revealed a significant difference between baseline (before DOX reduction) and 2 weeks following DOX reduction (p = 0.004). There was no statistically significant difference in mean thigmotaxis between injection groups (p = 0.383). GFP = green fluorescent protein, WT-tau = GFP-tagged wild-type human tau, Thr175Asp-tau = GFP-tagged Thr175Asp human tau. *p ≤ 0.05.

description: The study assessed the veterinary extension services rendered by the Kwara State Agricultural Development Project (KWADP) to poultry farmers in Kwara State, Nigeria. A two stage sampling procedure produced the sample size of 110 from five villages in the study area. A well structured interview schedule was administered to the respondents to produce data which was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The study revealed that majority of the poultry farmers in the study area were male (73.3%), aged between 31 and 50 (70.9%) and had over 10 years experience in poultry farming (74.5%). Only 17.3% of the farmers had secondary school education. Almost all the respondents (97.35%) were aware of the veterinary services of the (KWADP). The frequency of extension contact was monthly for 59.1% of the respondents. The t-test at 1% level of significance revealed significant differences in the means of meat yield and egg yield before and after extension contact. The study concluded that though there was strong level of awareness of the veterinary services of the KWADP and there was evidence of positive impact of the extension contact on productivity, the extension service was not meeting the needs of the farmers in some aspects of poultry production such as facilitating credit facilities for expansion. The study recommended that the frequency of extension contact be improved upon. Lastly, the study suggested that farmers should be encouraged to form or join cooperative societies to brighten their chances of securing rural credit.

description: We present closed analytical expressions for the particle and kinetic energy spatial densities at finite temperatures for a system of noninteracting fermions (bosons) trapped in a d-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential. For d=2 and 3, exact expressions for the N-particle densities are used to calculate perturbatively the temperature dependence of the splittings of the energy levels in a given shell due to a very weak interparticle interaction in a dilute Fermi gas. In two dimensions, we obtain analytically the surprising result that the |l|-degeneracy in a harmonic oscillator shell is not lifted in the lowest order even when the exact, rather than the Thomas-Fermi expression for the particle density is used. We also demonstrate rigorously (in two dimensions) the reduction of the exact zero-temperature fermionic expressions to the Thomas-Fermi form in the large-N limit.

description: We demonstrate on the example of the dc+ac driven overdamped Frenkel-Kontorova model that an easily calculable measure of complexity can be used for the examination of Shapiro steps in presence of thermal noise. In real systems, thermal noise causes melting or even disappearance of Shapiro steps, which makes their analysis in the standard way from the response function difficult. Unlike in the conventional approach, here, by calculating the Kolmogorov complexity of certain areas in the response function we were able to detect Shapiro steps, measure their size with desired precision and examine their temperature dependence. The aim of this work is to provide scientists, particularly experimentalists, an unconventional but a practical and easy tool for examination of Shapiro steps in real systems.

description: The model under consideration is a classical 2D Coulomb gas of pointlike positive and negative unit charges, interacting via a logarithmic potential. In the whole stability range of temperatures, the equilibrium statistical mechanics of this fluid is exactly solvable via an equivalence with the integrable 2D sine-Gordon field theory. The exact solution includes the bulk thermodynamics, special cases of the surface thermodynamics, and the large-distance asymptotic behavior of the two-body correlation functions.

description: This study investigated the extent to which climate variability (proxied by rainfall variability) and macroeconomic policies influenced food crop output in Nigeria. It used time series data obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria and National Bureau of Statistics (1978-2009). Four functional forms of OLS models were tried. The Cobb-Douglas function was finally adopted based on standard econometric model selection criteria and diagnosis. Chow test was used to test the hypotheses of the study. It was found that rainfall variability influenced crop output negatively. Climatic factor, loans guaranteed by Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund and lending rate were all statistically significant drivers of crop output in the economy at p<0.05, p<0.01 and p<0.05 respectively. Their elasticities were respectively 4.01%, 0.52% and 0.98%. No structural difference between the economic reform era and the preceding era‟s regression coefficients was found. Programmes to stem corruption and loan diversion; subsidization of agricultural credit and climate change adaptation capacity building programmes were recommended to bring about sustainable food security in the country.

description: Riemann's non-differentiable function is a classic example of a continuous function which is almost nowhere differentiable, and many results concerning its analytic regularity have been shown so far. However, it can also be given a geometric interpretation, so questions on its geometric regularity arise. This point of view is developed in the context of the evolution of vortex filaments, modelled by the Vortex Filament Equation or the binormal flow, in which a generalisation of Riemann's function to the complex plane can be regarded as the trajectory of a particle. The objective of this document is to show that the trajectory represented by its image does not have a tangent anywhere. For that, we discuss several concepts of tangent vectors in view of the set's irregularity.

description: The study used Cobb-Douglas stochastic profit function to estimate farm-level profit function, economic efficiency and it determinants among homestead based cassava farmers in the south-south region of Nigeria. Two-stage random sampling method was used to select 300 homestead based cassava farmers in the study area. Maximum likelihood estimates of the specified models reveal an average economic efficiency of 61.22%. The study also found that farmer’s education, experience, household size, level of farming involvement, extension agent visit, soil management method adopted by farmers and farm size are significant factors affecting farm-level economic or profit efficiency in resource use among homestead based cassava farmers. Farm-level policies aimed at promoting farmer’s education, extension services and family planning among farmers as well as reduction in production constraints was recommended.
