description: Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is arguably the most effective intervention for treatment-resistant depression. While large interindividual variability exists, a theory capable of explaining individual response to ECT remains elusive. To address this, we posit a quantitative, mechanistic framework of ECT response based on Network Control Theory (NCT). Then, we empirically test our approach and employ it to predict ECT treatment response. To this end, we derive a formal association between Postictal Suppression Index (PSI)—an ECT seizure quality index—and whole-brain modal and average controllability, NCT metrics based on white-matter brain network architecture, respectively. Exploiting the known association of ECT response and PSI, we then hypothesized an association between our controllability metrics and ECT response mediated by PSI. We formally tested this conjecture in N = 50 depressive patients undergoing ECT. We show that whole-brain controllability metrics based on pre-ECT structural connectome data predict ECT response in accordance with our hypotheses. In addition, we show the expected mediation effects via PSI. Importantly, our theoretically motivated metrics are at least on par with extensive machine learning models based on pre-ECT connectome data. In summary, we derived and tested a control-theoretic framework capable of predicting ECT response based on individual brain network architecture. It makes testable, quantitative predictions regarding individual therapeutic response, which are corroborated by strong empirical evidence. Our work might constitute a starting point for a comprehensive, quantitative theory of personalized ECT interventions rooted in control theory.

description: Heavy metals sequestration from industrial discharges has aroused increasing attention worldwide to cleaner and sustainable water production by developing fast, effective eco-friendly nanosorbents. This study aimed to design a robust and fast nanocomposite to remove heavy metal ions, mainly Pb(II) and Cd(II). To this end, poly-(2-aminothiophenol); PATP was incorporated into graphene oxide; GO to fabricate PATP@GO nanocomposite. The structure and morphology of the novel nanocomposite were evaluated by FTIR, TEM, XRD, Raman, EDX, and TGA. Integrating PATP improved the adsorption efficiency of the GO from 61.3% to 98.6% for Pb(II) and 34.6% to 87.3% for Cd(II). Furthermore, the impact of pH, the mass of nanocomposite, metal ions concentrations, and coexisting ions were thoroughly investigated and optimized. The potential efficiency and adsorption capacity of PATP@GO nanocomposite toward Pb(II) was 98.6.00%, 142.9 mg.g-1 for Pb(II) at pH 5 and 87.3%, 125.0 mg.g-1 for Cd(II) at pH 7 within 25 minutes, respectively. This behavior was explained in terms of strong complex formation with the thiol groups of PATP, as well as the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in GO. Kinetic studies were based on pseudo-second order (R2 > 0.99) and the adsorption data are best fitted with the Langmuir model. The excellent stability of PATP@GO nanocomposite enabled effective extractions for seven successive runs (98.6%-95.3% for Pb(II) and 87.3–85.1% for Cd(II)). The developed PATP@GO nanocomposite is believed to show fast and high potential in detoxifying of heavy metal ions from different environmental samples in aquatic life.

description: Introduction: To date, there is no valid single test or battery of tests for informing return-to-play (RTP) decisions following an acute shoulder injury. The purpose of this exploratory study is to evaluate a diagnostic test battery based on a Delphi consensus at the time of unrestricted return to team training after acute shoulder injury. Methods and analysis: Data for this prospective multicentre cohort study are collected at two measurement time points: when the respective physician clears the patient for RTP (t1) and 12 months after RTP (t2). The study participants are 18–35 years old athletes participating at a professional level in the following team sports: handball, basketball, ice hockey, soccer, volleyball and American football. Maximum comparability will be ensured via uninjured matched pair teammates. To assess the subjective assessment of shoulder functioning and the athlete’s readiness to RTP, patient-reported outcome measures (Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index, Quick-Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand, Psychological Readiness of Injured Athlete to Return to Sport and Shoulder Instability-Return to Sport after Injury) will be completed. After a medical check-up with a range of motion and anthropometric measurements as well as clinical tests, the participants will perform a structured warm-up protocol. The functional tests comprise handgrip strength, upper quarter Y-balance test, isometric strength, closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test, wall hop test, functional throwing performance index and the unilateral seated shot put test and isokinetic tests.
Interesting dynamics at high mutual inclination in the framework of the Kozai problem with an eccentric perturber

description: We study the dynamics of the 3-D three-body problem of a small body moving under the attractions of a star and a giant planet which orbits the star on a much wider and elliptic orbit. In particular, we focus on the influence of an eccentric orbit of the outer perturber on the dynamics of a small highly inclined inner body. Our analytical study of the secular perturbations relies on the classical octupole hamiltonian expansion (third-order theory in the ratio of the semi-major axes), as third-order terms are needed to consider the secular variations of the outer perturber and potential secular resonances between the arguments of the pericenter and/or longitudes of the node of both bodies. Short-period averaging and node reduction (Laplace plane) reduce the problem to two degrees of freedom. The four-dimensional dynamics is analyzed through representative planes which identify the main equilibria of the problem. As in the circular problem (i.e. perturber on a circular orbit), the "Kozai-bifurcated" equilibria play a major role in the dynamics of an inner body on quasi-circular orbit: its eccentricity variations are very limited for mutual inclination between the orbital planes smaller than ~40^°, while they become large and chaotic for higher mutual inclination. Particular attention is also given to a region around 35^° of mutual inclination, detected numerically by Funk et al. (2011) and consisting of long-time stable and particularly low eccentric orbits of the small body. Using a 12th-order Hamiltonian expansion in eccentricities and inclinations, in particular its action-angle formulation obtained by Lie transforms in Libert & Henrard (2008), we show that this region presents an equality of two fundamental frequencies and can be regarded as a secular resonance. Our results also apply to binary star systems where a planet is revolving around one of the two stars.

description: Several industries utilize synthetic dyes to color their products, resulting in generation of wastewater containing strong-colored organics. The discharge of these toxic dyes into effluents has adverse effects both on human being and aquatic ecosystem. As a result, it is important to eliminate these dyes prior to discharge of wastewater into the aquatic system. Polyaniline (PANI) based novel nanocomposites are gaining popularity due to the tunable electrical conductivity, high surface area, eco-friendly nature, which illustrate PANI based nanocomposites as suitable materials for wastewater amputation. Thus in this research, a novel nanocomposite comprising of magnesium ferrite and PANI (MgFe2O4-PANI-NC) was successfully prepared and used for adsorptive elimination of methyl red (MR) dye from water. The developed nanocomposite could efficiently remove the methyl red (MR) dye from water at solution pH of 7.0 which is advantageous for safe disposal of treated effluent without further treatment. The highest MR dye uptake efficiency of 90.23(±1.55)% was achieved at initial MR dye concentration of 50 mg/L, MgFe2O4-PANI-NC dose of 1.0 g/L, and contact time of 30 min. The experimental data follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model accurately and isotherm modeling reveals the adsorption of MR dye onto the MgFe2O4-PANI-NC follows Langmuir model with maximum dye uptake capacity of 98.04 mg/g. The cost analysis revealed that the fabrication cost of MgFe2O4-PANI-NC is around $100.60/kg. After 5th consecutive cycle of repetitive use, the removal efficiency of MR dye drops from 90.23(±2.02) % to 80.52(±1.39) % which shows the high stability and reusable characteristics MgFe2O4-PANI-NC for real field application.

Students encounter little science history, and what they have encountered typically portrays scientists as The People with the Right Answers. But those who got the wrong answers can teach students that in science answers are often elusive -- not found in the back of a book or discovered in a bold stroke of genius. Giovanni Battista Riccioli, a 17th-century astronomer who argued that science supported a geocentric universe, and whose arguments made sense given the knowledge of the time -- is an example of such a person.

description: We demonstrate the application of transition state theory to wave packet dynamics in metastable Schrödinger systems which are approached by means of a variational ansatz for the wave function and whose dynamics is described within the framework of a time-dependent variational principle. The application of classical transition state theory, which requires knowledge of a classical Hamilton function, is made possible by mapping the variational parameters to classical phase space coordinates and constructing an appropriate Hamiltonian in action variables. This mapping, which is performed by a normal form expansion of the equations of motion and an additional adaptation to the energy functional, as well as the requirements to the variational ansatz are discussed in detail. The applicability of the procedure is demonstrated for a cubic model potential for which we calculate thermal decay rates of a frozen Gaussian wave function. The decay rate obtained with a narrow trial wave function agrees perfectly with the results using the classical normal form of the corresponding point particle. The results with a broader trial wave function go even beyond the classical approach, i.e., they agree with those using the quantum normal form. The method presented here will be applied to Bose-Einstein condensates in the following paper [A. Junginger, M. Dorwarth, J. Main, and G. Wunner, submitted to J. Phys. A].

This observation of an all-microwave nonlinearity is an enabling step towards a host of quantum measurement and control applications which utilize spins in solids.

description: We describe an adaptive multigrid algorithm for solving inverses of the domain-wall fermion operator. Our multigrid algorithm uses an adaptive projection of near-null vectors of the domain-wall operator onto coarser four-dimensional lattices. This extension of multigrid techniques to a chiral fermion action will greatly reduce overall computation cost, and the elimination of the fifth dimension in the coarse space reduces the relative cost of using chiral fermions compared to discarding this symmetry. We demonstrate near-elimination of critical slowing as the quark mass is reduced and small volume dependence, which may be suppressed by taking advantage of the recursive nature of the algorithm.

More specifically, these solutions describe general systems of non-extremally charged static asymptotically flat black bi/di-ring. We compute their conserved charges and investigate some of their properties. As expected, we find that in general there are conical singularities in between the black rings and for the static solutions considered here they cannot be completely eliminated.

description: M&A activity is significant in today’s economy, as well as the need for M&A deals to be successful. Human resourcing is a necessary component in executing M&A deals and without it, anticipated growth through expected synergies cannot be achieved. What was particularly sparse in the extant literature of human resources support for M&A was the research into developing a function supporting M&A activities. The purpose of this research was to gather data of previously completed M&A deals at a business to examine if a correlation exists between the available M&A deal data and the number of human resources that were hired for integration. This study used existing data from previous M&A deals to develop a model for predicting the ideal number of human resources required to complete integration activities for future M&A deals. In a case wise diagnostic of the resulting model, 28 of the 31 previous M&A deals were correctly predicted by the model for the needed number of contractors. These findings answered the research question posed by this study, and these resulted in the creation of a multiple regression model with statistically significant coefficients for future M&A deals. A process model was developed and may be useful for businesses, by providing a methodology to leverage its own historical data to predict human resource needs during M&A integrations. This study provided businesses pursuing M&A a quantitative process for intentional planning to ensure that there are dedicated human resources to support the business strategy and outcomes.

description: We analytically study the atom-dimer scattering problem in the near-integrable limit when the oscillator length l_0 of the transverse confinement is smaller than the dimer size, ~l_0^2/|a|, where a<0 is the interatomic scattering length. The leading contributions to the atom-diatom reflection and break-up probabilities are proportional to a^6 in the bosonic case and to a^8 for the up-(up-down) scattering in a two-component fermionic mixture. We show that by tuning a and l_0 one can control the "degree of integrability" in a quasi-1D atom-dimer mixture in an extremely wide range leaving thermodynamic quantities unchanged. We find that the relaxation to deeply bound states in the fermionic (bosonic) case is slower (faster) than transitions between different Bethe ansatz states. We propose a realistic experiment for detailed studies of the crossover from integrable to nonintegrable dynamics.

description: We present 3D models of the Galactic magnetic field including regular and turbulent components, and of the distribution of matter in the Galaxy including relativistic electrons and dust grains. By integrating along the line of sight, we construct maps of the polarized Galactic synchrotron and thermal dust emissions for each of these models. We perform a likelihood analysis to compare the maps of the Ka, Q, V and W bands of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (Wmap) and the 353 GHz Archeops data to the models obtained by varying the pitch angle of the regular magnetic field, the relative amplitude of the turbulent magnetic field and the extrapolation spectral indices of the synchrotron and thermal dust emissions. The best-fit parameters obtained for the different frequency bands are very similar and globally the data seem to favor a negligible isotropic turbulent magnetic field component at large angular scales (an anisotropic line-of-sight ordered component can not be studied using these data). From this study, we conclude that we are able to propose a consistent model of the polarized diffuse Galac- tic synchrotron and thermal dust emissions in the frequency range from 33 to 353 GHz, where most of the CMB studies are performed and where we expect a mixture of these two main foreground emissions. This model can be very helpful to estimate the contamination by foregrounds of the polarized CMB anisotropies, for experiments like the Planck satellite.

description: We examine the prospects for producing Nickel-56 from black hole accretion disks, by examining a range of steady state disk models. We focus on relatively slowly accreting disks in the range of 0.05 - 1 solar masses per second, as are thought to be appropriate for the central engines of long-duration gamma-ray bursts. We find that significant amounts of Nickel-56 are produced over a wide range of parameter space. We discuss the influence of entropy, outflow timescale and initial disk position on mass fraction of Nickel-56 which is produced. We keep careful track of the weak interactions to ensure reliable calculations of the electron fraction, and discuss the role of the neutrinos.

description: We analyse the results of our experimental laboratory approximation of motorways networks with slime mould Physarum polycephalum. Motorway networks of fourteen geographical areas are considered: Australia, Africa, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Iberia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, The Netherlands, UK, USA. For each geographical entity we represented major urban areas by oat flakes and inoculated the slime mould in a capital. After slime mould spanned all urban areas with a network of its protoplasmic tubes we extracted a generalised Physarum graph from the network and compared the graphs with an abstract motorway graph using most common measures. The measures employed are the number of independent cycles, cohesion, shortest paths lengths, diameter, the Harary index and the Randic index. We obtained a series of intriguing results, and found that the slime mould approximates best of all the motorway graphs of Belgium, Canada and China, and that for all entities studied the best match between Physarum and motorway graphs is detected by the Randic index (molecular branching index).
A first measurement of the Proper Motion of the Leo II dwarf spheroidal galaxy

description: We use 14-year baseline images obtained with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space telescope to derive a proper motion for one of the Milky Way's most distant dwarf spheroidal companions, Leo II, relative to an extragalactic background reference frame. Astrometric measurements are performed in the effective point spread function (ePSF) formalism using our own developed code. An astrometric reference grid is defined using 3,224 stars that are members of Leo II that are brighter than magnitude 25 in the F814W band. We identify 17 compact extra-galactic sources, for which we measure a systemic proper motion relative to this stellar reference grid. We derive a proper motion [μ_α,μ_δ]=[+104+/-113,-33+/-151] microarcseconds/yr for Leo II in the heliocentric reference frame. Though marginally detected, the proper motion yields constraints on the orbit of Leo II. Given a distance of 230 Kpc and a heliocentric radial velocity +79 km/s, and after subtraction of the solar motion, our measurement indicates a total orbital motion 266.1+/-128.7 km/s in the Galactocentric reference frame, with a radial component +21.5+/-4.3 km/s and tangential component 265.2+/-129.4 km/s. The small radial component indicates that Leo II either has a low-eccentricity orbit, or is currently close to perigalacticon or apogalacticon distance. We see evidence for systematic errors in the astrometry of the extragalactic sources which, while close to being point sources, are slightly resolved in the HST images. We argue that more extensive observations at later epochs will be necessary to better constrain the proper motion of Leo II. We provide a detailed catalog of the stellar and extragalactic sources identified in the HST data which should provide a solid early-epoch reference for future astrometric measurements.

description: We propose an optical scheme to generate a superposition of coherent states with enhanced size adopting an interferometric setting at the single-photon level currently available in the laboratory. Our scheme employs a nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier together with two beam splitters so that the detection of single photons at the output conditionally implements the desired superposition of second-order photonic operations. We analyze our proposed scheme by considering realistic on-off photodetectors with nonideal efficiency in heralding the success of conditional events. A high-quality performance of our scheme is demonstrated in view of various criteria such as quantum fidelity, mean output energy, and measure of quantum interference.

description: (1) Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of a natural sugarcane extract (Polygain™) on milk production, milk composition and methane emissions on a commercial dairy farm. (2) Methods: A three-week baseline was established for lactating Holstein × Friesian animals. Following this baseline period, these animals were fed Polygain™ at 0.25% of their estimated dry matter intake for 3 weeks. Methane concentration in the feed bin was determined at each milking using the Gascard NG Infrared Sensor (Edinburgh Sensors LTD). (3) Results: During the intervention phase milk yield increased significantly from 26.43 kg to 28.54 kg per cow per day, whilst methane emissions and bulk tank somatic cell counts decreased significantly in the intervention phase. For methane concentration, an average of 246 ppm during the baseline periods reduced to an average of 161.09 ppm during the intervention phase. For the bulk tank somatic cell counts, the average was observed at 283,200 during the baseline and reduced to an average value of 151,100 during the intervention phase. (4) Conclusions: The natural sugarcane extract was shown to have the potential to mitigate enteric methane emissions while also increasing production and animal wellbeing outcomes in a commercial dairy setting.

0074 Traces of the Unrepresentable in the Modernist Discourse of Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried
Creators: name: Gal, Nissim
Publisher: name: RIHA Journal
Year: 2013

description: The present essay aims to remap the modernist writing of Clement Greenberg and his successor Michael Fried from the late 1930s to the 1960s. For many years these two critics/theorists were considered leaders of the American modernist camp that promoted the purity of the medium and the total dependence of reading art on the primacy of perception. Attentive reading of the canonical texts they authored will surprisingly reveal that between the theoretical lines of their writings dwells an essential element that contradicts the absolute dominance of eyesight. Lying at the heart of the Greenbergian act is a metaphysical foundation that poses the question of the invisible as part of the inquiry into the "essence of the visible". As such the modernist debate will be revealed not only as a means for assembling a canon of works, but also as a means to formulating an experience of revelation in terms of the visual. Attentive reading of the writings of Clement Greenberg and the early Michael Fried, reveals a theoretical element or regulative idea that will be termed here "the unrepresentable".

Paleoenvironments and cultural dynamics at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Alberta: the carbon isotope record

description: Bibliography: p. 200-219.
description: This thesis focuses on former human-environment interrelationships on the southern Alberta Plains. Systemic models of environment and culture are used as heuristic devices within which questions concerning conditions necessary for culture change and the adaptations made under such conditions are examined. Past bison feeding behaviour is inferred and proxy paleoenvironmental data are developed using stable carbon isotope analysis of bison bone samples from Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump (DkPj-1). Previous CJ and C4 grass abundances in the area are used to reconstruct climatic episodes and conditions. These are correlated with the archaeological record from the site. Hypotheses are formulated concerning human adaptive behaviour under different climatic conditions. It is found that resource utilization is more thorough and procurement techniques more complex during times of climatic stress. Stressful environmental conditions are associated with decreased population levels and evidence of trade diminishes at these times. Climatic factor thresholds that may precipitate culture change are defined in terms of magnitude and duration. There is some evidence that variety in material culture buffers the effects of climatic change although it was found that variety was not necessarily greater during stressful climatic periods.

0110 Cognition through montage and mechanisms of individual memory in Bogusław Bachorczyk's art on the example of the artist's apartment-studio
Creators: name: Antos, Janusz
name: Kolenda, Karolina
Publisher: name: RIHA Journal
Year: 2014

description: The present text discusses Bogusław Bachorczyk's apartment-studio in Krakow. The decorations he has been making there since 2003 have transformed into a kind of work-in-progress. These decorations, just like Bachorczyk's art, are related to the issues of memory and identity. In 2013 he started the transformation of his apartment by "lacing up the wall" with polychrome in the library room, later to embrace also other rooms. He installed into existing polychromes new elements according to the rule of montage, which has recently constituted the basic strategy of his work.
