description: We study local regularity properties of linear, non-uniformly parabolic finite-difference operators in divergence form related to the random conductance model on Zd. In particular, we provide an oscillation decay assuming only certain summability properties of the conductances and their inverse, thus improving recent results in that direction. As an application, we provide a local limit theorem for the random walk in a random degenerate and unbounded environment.

description: To investigate the phylogenetic position of Isomyia Walker, 1860, a genus that suffered from frequent revisions of the taxonomic status following the subfamily Rhiniinae (Diptera, Calliphoridae), we sequenced, assembled, annotated, and analyzed the first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Isomyia nebulosa (Townsend, 1917) in this study. This mitogenome is 16,438 bp in length, with a standard set of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and an A + T riched non-coding region without genetic rearrangement as most dipteran mitogenomes, but long intergenic nucleotides (IGNs) between trnQ and trnM are found. The phylogeny yielded by both Bayesian inference and maximum-likelihood analysis for all mitochondrial PCGs and rRNAs of 23 mitogenomes supports the monophyly of the family Calliphoridae and the subfamilies Calliphorinae, Chrysomyinae, and Luciliinae. In addition, I. nebulosa diverged anterior to the above-mentioned three calliphorid subfamilies with high genetic distances.

description: Objectives: Few studies on tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor-associated tuberculosis (TB) and hepatic events have been performed in regions where these risks are elevated. This study aimed to provide a direct comparison between adalimumab and etanercept in a high-risk population and to address the implications for physicians working with patients in such an environment. Method: Data collected from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan between 2007 and 2011 were analysed retrospectively for incidences of eight adverse events associated with TNF-α inhibitors. Hazard ratios (HRs) of adalimumab vs. etanercept were calculated using a Cox proportional hazards model. Results: During this 5-year period, 86 events of TB were reported after 5317 person-years of exposure to adalimumab (1.62 events per 100 person-years), compared to 44 events after 7690 person-years of exposure to etanercept (0.57 events per 100 person-years). For serious hepatic events that led to hospitalization, 0.75 events were reported per 100 person-years of exposure to adalimumab compared to 0.39 events per 100 person-years of exposure to etanercept. Adjusted HRs for TB [aHR 3.06, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.09–4.49, p Conclusions: TNF-α-targeting therapies with the monoclonal antibody adalimumab confers significant added risk of TB and serious hepatic events compared to therapies with the soluble fusion protein etanercept. Tailored strategies to attenuate these risks are warranted in high-risk regions such as Taiwan.

description: Huperzia arctica (Tolm.) Sipliv. 1973 is a lycophyte species belonging to the Lycopodiaceae family, which is widely distributed in the Arctic region of Svalbard, Norway. To determine its taxonomic position, we sequenced the chloroplast genome of H. arctica. The complete chloroplast genome of H. arctica is 153,956 bp in length with 122 annotated genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 31 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. To evaluate its evolutionary position, we performed phylogenetic analysis using 36 conserved orthologous protein-coding gene sequences from the chloroplast genomes of H. arctica and publicly available data from other Lycopodiaceae. H. arctica formed a monophyletic group with four other Huperzia species: H. lucidula, H. serrata, H. crispata, and H. javanica. However, it appeared as a separate species with a highly supported bootstrap value.

description: La possibilità di ricorrere alla procreazione medicalmente assistita è limitata nell’ordinamento italiano, nonostante le eccezioni che si ricavano dalla giurisprudenza della Corte costituzionale. Oggetto del presente lavoro è il riconoscimento dello status di figlio del bambino nato all’estero mediante tecniche riproduttive non consentite in Italia. In base al diritto internazionale privato italiano, la filiazione è stabilita sulla base della legge nazionale del bambino o di uno dei genitori: il riconoscimento ai sensi della legge straniera richiamata, non può essere contrastato invocando quale limite di ordine pubblico la necessità di bloccare il fenomeno dell’aggiramento delle restrizioni imposte dalla legge italiana oppure il fine di preservare le caratteristiche tradizionali della famiglia. La prevalenza dell’interesse del minore al riconoscimento della filiazione non può essere ostacolata nemmeno dalla disciplina sulle unioni civili.

description: Pentaphragma spicatum Merr. is an endemic wild edible plant of China belonging to the Pentaphragmataceae family. It is widely consumed by Shangsi County resident in Guangxi Fangchenggang. Initially, Pentaphragma was classified as a genus within the Campanulaceae family, but, later it was treated as part of the Pentaphragmataceae family. However, the chloroplast genome of Pentaphragmataceae has not yet been reported. In this study, we sequenced the first complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. spicatum from Guangxi, China. The whole genome was 154,229 bp in length, consisting of a pair of inverted repeats (IR each 25,572 bp), a large single-copy region (LSC 84,884 bp), and a small single-copy region (SSC 18,201 bp). The complete genome contained 129 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 34 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome was 37.71%. Based on a maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis, it has been determined that P. spicatum is not phylogenetically related to Campanulaceae and supports the decision to classify it as a separate family, Pentaphragmataceae. The complete chloroplast genome of P. spicatum will help enhance and integrate the existing genome data of Asterales. This will provide insights into the phylogenetic relationship within Campanulaceae.
How People’s Perception on Degree of Control Inﬂuences Human-Robot Interaction
Creators: name: Chanseau, Adeline
Publisher: name: UH Research Archive
Year: 2019

description: Automated products that seem to be more sophisticated every day are invading the market. Gmail provides suggestions for emails responses and can even track important dates through emails and send a notification about it without the user's permission. As robot companions are just slowly starting to be available to the public, one must wonder, do people expect robots to have the same technology advancements as other technology tools such as smart phones? Is it really what people want? Some early research on control has been made in the Human Computer Interaction community by Shneiderman & Maes (1997) to discover how much control the user is ready to give up to an intelligent agent. This PhD does the same type of investigations for domestic robots by focussing on perception of control in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). To be able to conduct such an investigation, the user's perception of control is measured through the robot's level of autonomy. As this thesis will show, little research has been done in this area for domestic robot companions. After a first exploratory study was conducted to gain a better understanding of perception of control related to the user's preferred level of autonomy of the robot for a simple task (cleaning), three questionnaire studies have investigated what makes a task high critical or low critical, physical or cognitive. The results could then be used to design a full live investigation on how the level of criticality of a task influence the user's preference of the robot's level of autonomy. The results of this thesis show that in general people want robots to be more autonomous but they still want to have control over the robot for most tasks. People prefer to give instructions to the robot when a cognitive task is performed regardless of the criticality of the task, and for a low critical physical task that is entertainment-based. However, for a high critical physical task, the user prefers the robot to be fully autonomous even if they feel they have less control over the robot. This is explained by the way participants perceived the performance of the task. When the robot was fully autonomous, they felt the task was done faster and smoother than when they had to continuously provide instructions to the robot.

description: A new flavonoid, along with 16 known ones, was separated from the aerial parts of Asterothamnus centrali-asiaticus. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR techniques and HRESIMS. To confirm the structure of the new compound, computational prediction of its 13C chemical shifts was performed. All of the 17 flavonoids were reported from A. centrali-asiaticus for the first time. In addition, all flavonoids were evaluated for their antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. The results showed that 10 of them exhibited antioxidant activity. Meanwhile, four flavonoids displayed α-glucosidase inhibitory effect with IC50 values ranging from 38.9 to 299.7 μM.

description: We used the Illumina MiSeq platform to sequence the complete mitochondrial genome of Triplophysa jianchuanensis (Cypriniformes: Cobitidae). The mitochondrial genome of T. jianchuanensis is 16,569 bp in length, and its genetic constitution and arrangement are consistent with those of the teleost taxon, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, an origin of light-strand replication, and a control region. The overall nucleotide base composition was 28.33% A, 27.25% T, 17.77% G, and 26.65% C. Phylogenetic analysis showed that T. jianchuanensis was grouped with T. venusta. These findings are valuable for further studies on the evolution, genetic diversity, and taxonomy of Triplophysa.

description:
Despite important progress in identifying the molecules that participate in the immune response of Drosophila melanogaster to microbial infections, the involvement of thioester-containing proteins (TEPs) in the antibacterial immunity of the fly is not fully clarified. Previous studies mostly focused on identifying the function of TEP2, TEP3 and TEP6 molecules in the D. melanogaster immune system. Here, we investigated the role of TEP4 in the regulation and function of D. melanogaster host defense against 2 virulent pathogens from the genus Photorhabdus, i.e. the insect pathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens and the emerging human pathogen P. asymbiotica. We demonstrate that Tep4 is strongly upregulated in adult flies following the injection of Photorhabdus bacteria. We also show that Tep4 loss-of-function mutants are resistant to P. luminescens but not to P. asymbiotica infection. In addition, we find that inactivation of Tep4 results in the upregulation of the Toll and Imd immune pathways, and the downregulation of the Jak/Stat and Jnk pathways upon Photorhabdus infection. We document that loss of Tep4 promotes melanization and phenoloxidase activity in the mutant flies infected with Photorhabdus. Together, these findings generate novel insights into the immune role of TEP4 as a regulator and effector of the D. melanogaster antibacterial immune response.

description: IoT это новый мир для соединения пространства объектов в реальном мире с виртуальным пространством в компьютерной среде. Для построения IoT как эффективной сервисной платформы конечным пользователям необходимо доверять системе. С ростом числа информационно-коммуникационных технологий потребность в обеспечении информационной безопасности и повышения безопасности данных растет. Одним из потенциальных решений для этого являются стеганографические методы. Стеганография на основе наименее значащего бита (LSB) представляет собой популярный и широко используемый метод в пространственной области. Обычные методы, применяемые в стеганографии на основе LSB, в основном сосредоточены на увеличении емкости встроенной информации и незаметности, в то время как проблема безопасности все еще нуждается в рассмотрении, потому что вложение LSB уязвимо для нескольких распространенных атак на данные, таких как аддитивная атака белого гауссовского шума (AWGN), геометрические атаки и многое другое. Представленная работа обеспечивает инновационный подход к повышению скрытой передачи данных в системе. Секретная информация предварительно обрабатывается с помощью модифицированного генетического алгоритма. Этот процесс повышает безопасность информации, поскольку полученные данные невозможно расшифровать без знания правила отображения и секретного ключа. Закодированный с помощью генетического алгоритма битовый поток встраивается в изображение, используя классический алгоритм LSB. Предложенный метод был апробирован на различных изображениях. Классические методы LSB также были протестированы на тех же изображениях. Было замечено, что предложенный метод повысил устойчивость стего-изображений к атакам за счет шифрования. Кроме того, пиковое отношение сигнал к шуму (PSNR) в стего-изображениях было увеличено. Таким образом, предложенный способ повысил устойчивость стего-изображений.

description: Abstract. The objective of this research is to evaluate the effects of cropping choices on land, water use for irrigation, and greenhouse gas emissions after introducing canola (Brassica napus L.) cultivation for the production of 60 million gallons of biodiesel per year. Characterization of regional farm-level cropping patterns and agronomic inputs and economic data are used to model the adoption of canola in place of the diverse incumbent cropping patterns in four regions of California: Northern and Southern San Joaquin Valleys, Sacramento Valley, and Southern California, using the Bioenergy Crop Adoption Model. The life cycle assessment approach is then used to assess environmental impacts due to cultivation of canola in place of the incumbent cropping patterns in terms of: (1) land use; (2) life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions due to direct land use change (kg CO2e ac-1); (3) greenhouse gas emissions due to irrigation water (kg CO2e ac-1); and (4) life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions expressed in grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per megajoule of biodiesel. Preliminary results show the adoption price of the canola with a yield of 1.5 U.S. tons per acre is estimated to be $481 per ton of canola in 2012 dollars at which point a total of 508,400 acres appear in canola cultivation. This land area (508, 400 acres) is equivalent to approximately 89 million gallons of biodiesel from canola per year given the assumptions stated in this study. Consequentially, crops that are less profitable are replaced with canola and greenhouse gas emissions due to irrigation water are reduced while maintaining a diversified percentage of the incumbent cropping patterns, as well as canola cultivation.

title: Sliding Mode Control Design for Two-wheeled Mobile Robots
Creators: name: Yang, Yankun
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This thesis not only concerns the development of sliding mode control (SMC) design for two-wheeled mobile robot (TWMR) systems in a rigorous mathematical manner but also focuses on the application of the developed theoretical SMC algorithms in the practical TWMR systems. The significant contents involve trajectory tracking control on a TWMR with caster wheels and setpoint regulation controls for a two-wheeled inverted pendulum (TWIP). For trajectory tracking SMC of the TWMR system, it is assumed that all the system states are accessible for design. In contrast, both full states and partial states are allowed to be accessible for the controls of a TWIP system. The main achievements in this thesis are summarised as follows. • The kinematic system is considered with matched and unmatched uncertainty in the trajectory tracking control of a TWMR system. A new structure of the sliding functions is proposed to help derive the reduced-order sliding mode dynamic, which reduces conservatism in the stability analysis. In the presence of both matched and unmatched uncertainty, the proposed SMC can track the predefined trajectories effectively and robustly. • A conventional SMC, based on a regular-form approach, is developed for the TWIP system under assumption that all system state variables are accessible. The bounds on both matched and unmatched uncertainties are assumed as known functions used in the SMC design to reject uncertainties and improve robustness. Compared with previous work that used constant or linear bounds on the uncertainties, the developed results allow more general nonlinear forms for the bounds on the uncertainties. As a result, the obtained results can tolerate a broader range of uncertainties. • A static output feedback SMC scheme is proposed to regulate the TWIP system when only partial state information is available. Both the stabilisation and setpoint regulation control problems of the TWIP system are addressed. A novel method is introduced to select the feedback gains for regulating the TWIP system intuitively. • A self-developed real-time operating system (RTOS) based software architecture is implemented for the practical TWIP platform to improve the system performance. Moreover, the proposed SMC laws are demonstrated in simulation and on a practical TWMR with passive wheels for trajectory tracking control and a TWIP platform for setpoint regulation control subject to the matched and unmatched uncertainties. The results show the effectiveness and robustness of the designed control schemes when implemented in practical TWIP systems. The simulations of the SMC approaches mentioned above are conducted using Matlab and Simulink tools. Moreover, the associated experimental verifications of the trajectory tracking and setpoint regulation controls are demonstrated on two different TWMR platforms assembled based on the ARM Cortex-M series microcontroller boards as the primary central processing unit.

description: Objective: Upper urinary calculi (UUC) is considered to be a comprehensive disease associated with many risk factors, but the role of physical activity (PA) is undefined. Here, we conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate this relationship in Asian populations. Materials and Methods: Patients diagnosed with UUC were the subjects of study and those who participated in a health examination in local medical center were included as controls. Information was collected through the same standard questionnaire. A metabolic equivalent score (METs) was measured for each kind of activity. OR of UUC in categories of PA were determined by logistic regression. Results: A total of 1,782 controls and 1,517 cases were enrolled. People who took higher PA (5-9.9, 10-19.9, 20-29.9 and >30 METs/wk) weekly were associated with lower risks of UUC than those took lower PA (<4.9 METs/wk) after adjusting for age, ethnicity, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, water intake, history of gout, history of diabetes mellitus, history of supplemental calcium use and history of hypertension (adjusted OR 0.11, 0.32, 0.24, 0.34; 95% CI 0.08-0.15, 0.23-0.43, 0.15-0.40, 0.22-0.53, respectively; p value <0.001). Conclusions: In our cross-sectional study, PA was associated with UUC.
Nkalakatha: a luminous, high-redshift OH megamaser discovered in early LADUMA observations
Creators: name: Kazemi-Moridani, Amir
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: In the local universe, OH megamasers (OHMs) are found exclusively in the centers of infrared-luminous galaxies, implying a connection to gas-rich galaxy mergers, but until MeerKAT came online, no OHM had been detected above a redshift of 0.27. Early observations for the Looking At the Distant Universe with the MeerKAT Array (LADUMA) deep HI survey have achieved the first untargeted detection of an OHM in the main (1665/1667 MHz) OH lines outside the local universe, in a z = 0.52 system nicknamed `Nkalakatha.' This OHM is remarkably luminous and falls among the brightest OHMs that have been detected so far at any redshift. I will describe the properties of Nkalakatha, what we have learned about it and its host galaxy from followup observations (with MeerKAT, the Very Large Array, and the Hubble Space Telescope), and what its implications may be for using OHMs to study galaxy evolution at higher redshifts.

Methods: A thermal-imaging camera was used at two coastal study sites (Punta Galea, Cape Higuer) in spring and three study sites (coast: Punta Galea, Cape Higuer; inland: Iregua Valley) in autumn for four hours from sunset over 90 nights in 2014 and 2015. Results: Migration was strong at both coastal sites in early spring. Autumn migration was weak at the western coast, but strong at the eastern coast and inland. Tailwind had no significant effect on migration intensity, but migration ceased during strong cross- or headwinds despite clear skies. The majority of the targets were passerines. Conclusions: The patterns observed suggest spring migration occurs on a broader front, potentially involving sea crossing further to the west, while autumn migration concentrates more eastwards over land. In both seasons, there was no significant response to wind conditions.

description: L’articolo riflette sulle origini e le ragioni della protezione umanitaria. In primo luogo, evidenzia la difficoltà di distinzione fra le due fattispecie della protezione sussidiaria (armonizzata a livello dell’Unione) e della protezione umanitaria, in riferimento anche al rapporto fra diritto internazionale umanitario e protezione sussidiaria. In secondo luogo, approfondisce le cause e le conseguenze dell’eventuale inamovibilità dello straniero irregolare, dal territorio dello Stato di accoglienza; in particolare, lo status di fatto o di diritto dello straniero “rimpatriando ma non rimpatriabile”. In terzo luogo, discute il nucleo delle prestazioni essenziali che lo Stato di accoglienza deve garantire allo straniero. Infine, richiama la questione del regime comunitario dei visti umanitari per uscire dal Paese di origine e richiedere la protezione internazionale.

description: This paper explores new geographies of coproduction emerging in urban energy politics. It analyses processes of remunicipalisation of urban utilities, involving the re-establishment of public ownership with a strong democratic and ecological agenda for governing energy infrastructures, with case studies of the German cities of Berlin and Hamburg. Seeking ways of understanding these developments which transcend conventional binaries such as public vs. private ownership or consumer vs. producer, we interpret them in relation to debates first about coproduction and then about urban commons. This latter concept, we argue, provides deeper analytical purchase on new grassroots energy initiatives and the politics that unfold in remunicipalisation conflicts, offering a new avenue for enriching research on the coproduction of energy.

description: The nonparametric and parametric bootstrap methods for multivariate hypothesis testing are developed. They are used to approximate the null distribution of the test statistics proposed by Duchesne and Francq (2015), resulting in bootstrap testing procedures. In the problem of testing for the mean vector of a multivariate distribution, the asymptotic validity of the bootstrap methods is proved. The finite sample performance of the new solutions is demonstrated by means of Monte Carlo simulation studies. They indicate that for small-sample size, the bootstrap tests provide a better finite sample properties than the asymptotic tests considered by Duchesne and Francq (2015).

description: The ZnO nanostructures have been synthesized and studied as the sensing element for the detection ofH2Sgas. The ZnO nanostructures were synthesized by Sol-gel method followed by sonication. By using screenprinting method, thick films of synthesized ZnO nanostructure were deposited on glass substrate. Gassensing properties of ZnO nanostructure thick films were studied for low concentration H2Sgas at differenttemperature. ZnO nanostructure synthesized by this method can be used as a promising material forsemiconductor gas sensor to detect gas like H2S at above room temperature with high sensitivity andselectivity.

description: Gas platforms can exert relevant effects on various ecosystem properties of the hosting area, modifying patterns of productivity and particle sedimentation. We hypothesised that the presence of gas platforms is associated with higher organic matter (OM) contents and we tested the null hypothesis by which benthic trophic conditions do not vary significantly among gas structures with different architectural characteristics. To test these hypotheses, we investigated sedimentary OM contents and biochemical composition at increasing distance from two distinct structures: one subsea well-site and one four-leg platform (FLP). We found that sediments surrounding the structures were characterised by similar OM contents, but different biochemical compositions, and that sedimentary OM compositional change with increasing distance from the structure is confirmed only at the FLP. These results suggest that: (i) benthic eutrophication is not consistent among different structures; (ii) OM biochemical composition changes are more evident than those in OM quantity; and (iii) the effect, wherever present, disappears at a very narrow distance from the platform. As biochemical composition of OM reflects food availability for benthic organisms, our results suggest that the enrichment of macrozoobenthic communities around these structures could be the consequence of increased nutritional quality of resources.

description: Excerpts from the report: Most large Industries handling products in their raw form have ultimately discovered ways to convert processing waste into valuable byproducts. In the ginning industry, cottonseed was the first ginning byproduct to receive widespread recognition for its use value. Another byproduct that has more recently received attention is gin motes. The term gin motes, as used in the trade, refers to any gin waste usable for its fiber content. It consists primarily of lint cleaner waste, but may sometimes include motes from the gin stand. Because of a widespread shift to mechanical harvesters, and accompanying increases in multiple lint cleaning, the quantity of motes removed during ginning has greatly increased. Ginners now have enough gin motes to make reclaiming economically feasible. Largest outlets for gin motes are the bedding, automotive, and furniture industries. They use large quantities of cotton batting composed of approximately 60 percent linters, and 40 percent cotton waste and gin motes. Many ginners in the Southwest and West have reclaimed and sold gin motes for several years, while only a small proportion of ginners in the south-central area of the Cotton Belt have adopted this practice. Thus, some ginners are currently trying to determine whether it would be profitable to save gin motes; and if so, the method of collecting and handling which would be most profitable and satisfactory. Information is needed that will help ginners make sound decisions concerning mote-reclaiming systems for their gin plants and aid in better understanding of mote marketing. Therefore, this study was designed to provide data on (1) methods and costs of collecting gin motes; (2) market outlets and value of these motes; (3) estimates of gin mote supply; and (4) the marketing of gin motes in terms of types of firms, and grading and pricing practices.

description: Passive seismic approaches, using a single-station, enable rapid, cost-effective and non-invasive estimates of the thickness of sedimentary rocks overlying crystalline basement. This approach was applied to estimate the Cenozoic and Cretaceous succession beneath the Nullarbor Plain in southeastern Western Australia. Passive seismic data acquired at the majority of the 94 sites show a single, strong resonance frequency peak between 0.4 and 0.6 Hz suggesting an impedance contrast of a single subsurface layer. Modelling these resonance frequencies against known stratigraphy at 12 drill holes shows that this impedance contrast corresponds to the contact of the base of the Cenozoic–Cretaceous sedimentary succession of the Eucla and Bight basins with the crystalline basement. Data from the remaining sites produced sediment thickness estimates ranging from only tens of metres near the western edge of the Nullarbor Plain to over 860 m near its southern margin. Near this margin, rapid thickening of the sedimentary cover is coincident with an interpreted paleosea-cliff or indicative of localised faulting. Beneath the Western Australian portion of the Nullarbor Plain the sedimentary cover is on average 320 m thick with the succession thinning gradually towards the margins of the basin. A passive seismic approach is thus seen as a useful screening tool for the mineral exploration industry in areas that are under cover allowing for better targeting and cost-reduction in greenfields exploration.
