description: Imagine you have spent nearly all of the seventy years of your adult life being an organized and authoritative woman, raising three daughters, working as a clinical psychologist, maintaining many relationships and friendships. Now you’ve noticed more and more trouble remembering things, confusion about how to implement a plan or even what the right plan should be, even about things you know you used to do easily like shopping or making reservations. Imagine that, on top of all of this, one of those daughters you raised so competently is now sitting in front of you telling you that you’re so incompetent now that you don’t even know whether you’re capable of writing a letter to a friend. Recently, there has been much research applying the tools of discourse analysis to the talk of individuals with cognitive impairments (Cherney, Shadden, & Coelho, 1998). Many studies have examined the coherence, informational content, and topic management ability of older adults with various forms of dementia. In this case study I examine the interactions between a woman diagnosed with dementia of the Alzheimer’s type (DAT) and her daughter from a slightly different angle. Specifically, I demonstrate that the mother, Sophia, is sensitive to her daughter’s explicit challenges to her epistemic authority over domains of knowledge traditionally assumed to be her own, such as her abilities, experiences, and knowledge.

description: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) are rich resources for studying stellar astrophysics and the structure and formation history of the Galaxy. As new surveys and instruments adopt similar filter sets, it is increasingly important to understand the properties of the ugrizJHK_s stellar locus, both to inform studies of "normal" main-sequence stars and enable robust searches for point sources with unusual colors. Using a sample of ~600,000 point sources detected by SDSS and 2MASS, we tabulate the position and width of the ugrizJHK_s stellar locus as a function of g - i color, and provide accurate polynomial fits. We map the Morgan-Keenan spectral type sequence to the median stellar locus by using synthetic photometry of spectral standards and by analyzing 3000 SDSS stellar spectra with a custom spectral typing pipeline, described in the Appendix to this paper. We develop an algorithm to calculate a point source's minimum separation from the stellar locus in a seven-dimensional color space, and use it to robustly identify objects with unusual colors, as well as spurious SDSS/2MASS matches. Analysis of a final catalog of 2117 color outliers identifies 370 white-dwarf/M dwarf (WDMD) pairs, 93 QSOs, and 90 M giant/carbon star candidates, and demonstrates that WDMD pairs and QSOs can be distinguished on the basis of their J - K_s and r - z colors. We also identify a group of objects with correlated offsets in the u - g versus g - r and g - r versus r - i color-color spaces, but subsequent follow-up is required to reveal the nature of these objects. Future applications of this algorithm to a matched SDSS-UKIDSS catalog may well identify additional classes of objects with unusual colors by probing new areas of color-magnitude space.
title: Factors Influencing Primate Hair Microbiome Diversity
Creators: name: Kitrinos, Catherine
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: Primate hair is both a substrate upon which essential social interactions occur and an important host-pathogen interface. As commensal microbes provide important immune functions for their hosts, understanding the microbial diversity in primate hair could provide insight into primate immunity and disease transmission. While studies of human hair and skin microbiomes show differences in microbial communities across body regions, little is known about the nonhuman primate hair microbiome. In this study, we collected hair samples (n=159) from 8 body regions across 12 nonhuman primate species housed at 3 US institutions to examine 1) the diversity and composition of the primate hair microbiome and 2) the factors predicting primate hair microbiome diversity and composition. If both environmental and evolutionary factors shape the microbiome, then we would expect significant differences in microbiome diversity across host body sites, host sex, host housing institutions, and host species. We found that the hair microbiomes of these captive primates contained high abundances of gut-, respiratory-, and environment-associated microbiota rather than skin-associated microbiota. We also found that host species identity is the strongest predictor of both hair microbiome diversity and composition, while sex and body region are strong predictors of taxonomic richness and microbiome composition, and institution is a moderate predictor for both diversity and composition. Our results suggest that hair microbial communities are affected by both evolutionary and environmental factors and vary both within and across primate species, and that there may be transmission of microbes across primate body regions. These findings have important implications for understanding the biology and conservation of both wild and captive primates.

title: Reproducibility of Alkaline Inorganic Phosphate Quantification using 31P-Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 3T
Creators: name: Matias, Alexs A.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: INTRODUCTION: The detection of a second inorganic phosphate (Pi) resonance, a possible marker of mitochondrial content in vivo, using phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P- MRS) at 3T is technically challenging, which may prevent its reproducible quantification. PURPOSE: To determine the reproducibility of resting alkaline inorganic phosphate (Pialk) measurement using 31P-MRS in human skeletal muscle at 3 tesla (T). METHODS: Resting 31P- MRS of the quadriceps muscles was acquired on two separate visits, within seven days, in 13 healthy, sedentary to moderately active young adults using a whole-body 3T MR system. Measurement variability related to coil position, shimming procedure, and spectral analysis were also quantified. 31P-MRS data were acquired with a 31P/1H dual-tuned surface coil positioned on the quadriceps using a pulse-acquire sequence. Test-retest absolute and relative reproducibility were analyzed using coefficient of variation (CV) and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC), respectively. RESULTS: Pialk demonstrated a within-subject reproducibility marginally greater then the 10% cutoff (CV: 10.6 ± 5.4%; ICC: 0.80), but still appropriate given its small concentration in relation to other 31P metabolites. Proximo-distal change in coil positioning along the length of the quadriceps induced large variability in Pialk quantification (CV: 21.1%). In contrast, measurement variability due to repeated shims on consecutive scans from the same muscle sample (CV: 6.6%), and the automated spectral processing procedure, were minor (CV: 2.3%). Both metrics of absolute and relative reproducibility of Pialk were of similar magnitude to other well-resolved metabolites (e.g., phosphocreatine, Pi, and phosphodiester). CONCLUSION: Using multiple metrics, the present study established the high reproducibility of Pialk quantification by 31P-MRS using a surface coil on the quadriceps muscle at 3T. However, large variability in Pialk quantification can originate from positioning the coil on the most distal part of the quadriceps, which should be avoided due to shimming inhomogeneity.

description: A statistical-dynamical approach to probabilistic precipitation forecasts of southern African summer rainfall is described and validated. An ensemble of seasonal precipitation and circulation fields is obtained from the ECHAM4.5 atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM). Model output statistics (MOS) then spatially recalibrate the AGCM fields relative to observations. Although the MOS equations are built using the simulation data, in which observed SSTs force the AGCM, the same set of equations can be applied to the predicted data, in which predicted SSTs force the AGCM. The use of prediction data in a set of equations developed for simulations, assumes that the AGCM forecast skill approximates its simulation skill and that the systematic biases of the AGCM do not change in a prediction setting; this assumption is analogous to a perfect prognosis (PP) approach. Probabilistic forecast skill is assessed using this MOS-PP-recalibration scheme for 3 equi-probable categories using a 3-year-out cross-validation approach. High skill scores are found over the north-eastern interior of the region, with marginal skill over the remainder of the austral summer rainfall regions. When skill is assessed for only the wettest and driest of the years, high skill appears over most of the region.

title: Effects of Interracial Contact on University Students' Perceptions of Inclusion
Creators: name: Abellera, Cierra
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: Research from higher education and social psychology has recognized feelings of belonging and perceptions of inclusion as important factors within the university student experience. Yet little research has examined the extent to which interracial contact may correspond with belonging and inclusion in the university setting. In the present study, I conduct secondary analyses of a 2016 campus climate survey of undergraduate students to examine the associations between interracial contact and three indicators of belonging and inclusion (e.g., feeling a sense of belonging, perceiving the campus to be welcoming, perceived university commitment to inclusion) among undergraduate students from different racial and ethnic backgrounds, and among racial and ethnic minority students (ALANA students) regarded as international students and as U.S. residents. Results indicate, overall, White students tend to report greater feelings of belonging and perceptions of inclusions compared to their ALANA peers. Greater interracial contact was generally associated with greater feelings of belonging and greater perceived institutional commitment to inclusion, yet these effects tended to be stronger among ALANA students than among White students. Black students tended to report lower feelings of belonging in comparison to other ALANA students; at the same time, no significant interactions were observed between interracial contact and racial/ethnic status among ALANA students from Asian, Black, Latino/a, or multiracial backgrounds. In addition, international ALANA students tended to report lower levels of belonging as compared to ALANA students regarded as U.S. residents. However, there were no significant interaction effects of interracial contact and international ALANA status in predicting students’ feelings of belonging and inclusion perceptions. The present study highlights how students’ racial/ethnic status can shape belonging and inclusion perceptions on the university campus, and how associations between interracial contact and key indicators of inclusion may vary among students whose racial and ethnic groups occupy different status positions in U.S. society.

description: Fix an integer n>2 and let $(X(t))_{t\ge 0}$ be the pseudo-process driven by the high-order heat-type equation $\partial/\partial t=\pm\partial^N/\partial x^N$. The denomination "pseudo-process" means that $(X(t))_{t\ge 0}$ is related to a signed measure (which is not a probability measure) with total mass equal to 1. In this note, we present some results and discuss some problems concerning the pseudo-distributions of the first overshooting times of a single barrier $\{a\}$ or a double barrier $\{a,b\}$ by $(X(t))_{t\ge 0}$, as well as those of the sojourn times of $(X(t))_{t\ge 0}$ in the intervals $[a,+\infty)$ and $[a,b]$ up to a fixed time.

description: Research has shown that the use of technology can be a pioneering and innovative means of language learning and teaching. Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) provides learners with individualized instruction, naturalistic linguistic environment, and greater opportunities to actively engage in interaction with peers and teachers A number of studies (see Bhatia & Ritchie, 2009 for more details) have reported that students in the CALL setting tend to show less negative affect but higher levels of interest, motivation, and participation in learning the target language. However, such encouraging findings were observed primarily with students who had positive attitudes toward technology, as pointed out by Bhatia and Ritchie (2009). This highlights the fact that the application of technology to language learning and/or teaching settings must be preceded by proper user education or training in materials and technology tools. In other words, both students and teachers need to be given sufficient opportunities to practice and become familiar with the technology in use in the first place; the absence of these prerequisites can render any argument for the effectiveness of CALL insufficient.

description: Biomolecules, such as DNA and RNA, provide a wealth of information about the distribution and function of marine organisms, and biomolecular research in the marine realm is pursued across several Helmholtz Centers. Biomolecular metadata, i.e. DNA and RNA sequences and all steps involved in their creation, exhibit great internal diversity and complexity. However, high-quality (meta)data management is not yet well developed and harmonized in environmentally focused Helmholtz Centers. As part of the HMC Project HARMONise, we aim to develop sustainable solutions and digital cultures to enable high-quality, standards-compliant curation and management of marine biomolecular metadata at AWI and GEOMAR to better embed biomolecular science into broader digital ecosystems and research domains. Our approach builds on a relational database that aligns metadata with community standards such as the MIxS (Minimum Information about any (x) sequence) supported by the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) to promote global interoperability. At the same time, we ensure the harmonization of metadata with existing Helmholtz repositories (e.g. PANGAEA). A web-based hub will enable the standardized export and exchange of core metadata, in line with domain-specific standards and using standard conventions such as JSON(-LD). Here we will present the current status of the database scheme, highlight the use of standards and fields that promote interoperability, and outline the planned development of an exchange hub for sharing and validating biomolecular metadata across Helmholtz Centers. Enabling sustainable data stewardship, export and publication routines will support researchers in delivering Helmholtz biomolecular data to national European and global repositories in alignment with community standards and the FAIR principles.

description: We report four new 22 GHz water masers found in a Green Bank Telescope search toward 37 nearby objects. Our goal was to find new maser galaxies, AGN disk-masers, and objects where both hydroxyl and water maser species coexist. We observed 37 sources within 250 Mpc that were selected by high X-ray luminosity (L_X > 10^40 W) and high absorbing column density (N_H ~ 10^22 cm^-2). Sources also included dual or triple AGN and interacting systems. We further included objects detected in hydroxyl (OH). The selection consisted of 16 new sources, 13 previous non-detections to follow up with a factor ten higher sensitivity, 10 OH masers and one deep OH absorber, of which 37 were observed. Water megamasers were detected towards the Sy 2 galaxy 2MFGC 13581 (a disk-maser), towards the 6 GHz OH absorber NGC 4261 (3C 270 with a twin-jet and dusty torus; broad water maser emission), and towards the two 1.6 GHz OH maser sources IRAS 17526+3253 and IRAS 20550+1656 (possible star formation water masers). We set upper limits on 33 non-detections. The search increased the number of known "dual-species" objects containing both OH and H2O masers to eight. The detection rate was 25 % in OH galaxies and 11 % overall. Combined with other searches, a total of 95 objects have now been searched for both OH and H2O masers. We found the overall dual-species detection rate (8 in 95) to be of the order of the joint probability of both species independently occurring in the same object (1 % lower bound). However, this needs to be verified by a more detailed analysis of selection criteria. Lastly, we see a lack of H2O kilomasers in OH megamaser objects already noted by Tarchi et al. (2011). This may be due to sensitivity bias rather than astrophysical reasons.

description: Extensions of the eikonal approximation to low energy (20MeV/nucleon typically) are studied. The relation between the dynamical eikonal approximation (DEA) and the continuum-discretized coupled-channels method with the eikonal approximation (E-CDCC) is discussed. When Coulomb interaction is artificially turned off, DEA and E-CDCC are shown to give the same breakup cross section, within 3% error, of $^{15}$C on $^{208}$Pb at 20MeV/nucleon. When the Coulomb interaction is included, the difference is appreciable and none of these models agrees with full CDCC calculations. An empirical correction significantly reduces this difference. In addition, E-CDCC has a convergence problem. By including a quantum-mechanical correction to E-CDCC for lower partial waves between $^{15}$C and $^{208}$Pb, this problem is resolved and the result perfectly reproduces full CDCC calculations at a lower computational cost.

description: In a cellular medium, the plasmic membrane is a place of interactions between the cell and its direct external environment. A classic model describes it as a fluid mosaic.

On the other hand, experimentations bring to light inhomogeneities on the membrane; these micro-domains (the so-called rafts) are very rich in proteins and phospholipids. Nevertheless, few functional properties of these micro-domains have been shown and it appears necessary to build appropriate models of the membrane for recreating the biological mechanism. In this article, we propose a random walk model simulating the evolution of certain constituents-the so-called ligands-along a heterogeneous membrane. Inhomogeneities-the rafts-are described as being still clustered receptors. An important variable of interest to biologists is the time that ligands and receptors bind during a fixed amount of time. This stochastic time can be interpreted as a measurement of affinity/sentivity of ligands for receptors. It corresponds to the sojourn time in a suitable set for a certain random walk. We provide a method of calculation for the probability distribution of this random variable and we next determine explicitly this distribution in the simple case when we are dealing with only one ligand and one receptor. We finally address some further more realistic models.

description: Bhatia and Ritchie’s (2009) book chapter provides an extensive review of the core issues pertaining to second language (L2) acquisition in the information age. It also reiterates the influence of information technology on second language education. Technology, with all its merits, has “brought about a new generation of information and language learning tools” (p. 547). This is so be it used online or offline, inside or outside of the classroom, synchronously or asynchronously.

description: The rapid worldwide spread of severe viral infections, often involving novel modifications of viruses, poses major challenges to our health care systems. This means that tools that can efficiently and specifically diagnose viruses are much needed. To be relevant for a broad application in local health care centers, such tools should be relatively cheap and easy to use. Here we discuss the biophysical potential for the macroscopic detection of viruses based on the induction of a mechanical stress in a bundle of pre-stretched DNA molecules upon binding of viruses to the DNA. We show that the affinity of the DNA to the charged virus surface induces a local melting of the double-helix into two single-stranded DNA. This process effects a mechanical stress along the DNA chains leading to an overall contraction of the DNA. Our results suggest that when such DNA bundles are incorporated in a supporting matrix such as a responsive hydrogel, the presence of viruses may indeed lead to a significant, macroscopic mechanical deformation of the matrix. We discuss the biophysical basis for this effect and characterize the physical properties of the associated DNA melting transition. In particular, we reveal several scaling relations between the relevant physical parameters of the system. We promote this DNA-based assay for efficient and specific virus screening.

description: We study theoretically a three-dimensional correlated and spin-orbit coupled system, the half-filled extended Fu-Kane-Mele-Hubbard model on a diamond lattice, focusing on the topological magnetoelectric response of the antiferromagnetic insulator phase. In the antiferromagnetic insulator phase, the Dirac-like low-energy effective Hamiltonian is obtained. Then the theta term, which results in the magnetoelectric response, is derived as a consequence of the chiral anomaly. The realization of the dynamical axion field in our model is discussed. The relation with a symmetry broken phase induced by interactions in lattice quantum chromodynamics is also discussed.

description: Bhatia and Ritchie (2009) focus on the positive impact of technology, specifically “the potential and promise of technology in shaping and reshaping the direction of research on SLA and in providing a potential testing ground for current theories of SLA” (p. 545). Their enthusiastic assessment, subsequently elaborated from the perspectives of users and researchers, seems intuitively relevant in this age. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge technology’s limitations in language education. For example, Bhatia and Ritchie (2009) accurately observe that the emergence of technology is responsible for “the democratization of language teaching” (p. 547) to the degree that it facilitates exposure both to less commonly taught languages (LCTLs) and to almost never taught languages (ANTLs). This democratization emerges as problematic for researchers in that it generates a level of participant assimilation within a technology-driven learning space that tends to obscure not only important inter-learner differences, but also the differential effects on acquisition of technology.

description: The growing popularity of computer-mediated communication (CMC) has given rise to virtually endless possibilities for second language (L2) teaching and learning. For one, computer-mediated tasks allow learners to work at their own pace, while maintaining the anonymity of the interlocutor(s). Such anonymity in turn lowers learners’ anxiety level(s) and arouses their interest in participation, resulting in a higher level of learner autonomy (Bhatia & Ritchie, 2009). A case in point would be computer-mediated instruction of L2 writing using Wikis. More specifically, multiple participants can edit a piece of writing and leave comments outside of the second language (L2) classroom; instead, learners write extensively via such media as blogs. This has shown (e.g., Nonaka, 2011; Sato, 2008) to have a positive effect on increasing the learner’s level motivation.

description: The International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate Prediction seasonal forecast system is based largely on the predictions of ensembles of several atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) forced by two versions of an SST prediction—one consisting of persisted SST anomalies from the current observations and one of evolving SST anomalies as predicted by a set of dynamical and statistical SST prediction models. Recently, an objective multimodel ensembling procedure has replaced a more laborious and subjective weighting of the predictions of the several AGCMs. Here the skills of the multimodel predictions produced retrospectively over the first 4 years of IRI forecasts are examined and compared with the skills of the more subjectively derived forecasts actually issued. The multimodel ensemble predictions are generally found to be an acceptable replacement, although the precipitation forecasts do benefit from inclusion of empirical forecast tools. Planned pattern-level model output statistics (MOS) corrections for systematic biases in the AGCM forecasts may render them more sufficient in their own right.
Green marketing in the context of sustainable tourism: Current situation and Perspectives

description: Sustainable tourism is a form of tourism that takes into account the three pillars of sustainable development in the generation of its activities. The latter uses green marketing, a responsible version of marketing, to responsibly promote various tourism products and services. However, the sustainable tourism sector has not been able to escape unhealthy marketing practices such as “greenwashing” which highlights ecological pseudo-products, and only wreaks havoc on the image of genuinely responsible companies or the attitudes of consumers.

Therefore, we want to present the synthesis of our research of scientific literature through this article and highlight the themes of sustainable tourism and green marketing. Thus, our article will be structured around 3 parts: We will first address the conceptual framework of sustainable tourism and its foundations, then we will deal with the concept of green marketing and its tools, and finally, we will illustrate with cases adhering to sustainable tourism in Morocco and examples of greenwashing in tourism.
title: Design and Testing of a Foundation Raised Oscillating Surge Wave Energy Converter

description: Our oceans contain tremendous resource potential in the form of mechanical energy. With the ability to capture and convert the energy carried in surface waves into usable electricity, wave energy converters (WECs) have been a long-held aspiration in ocean renewable energy. One of the most popular wave energy design concepts is the Oscillating Surge Wave Energy Converter (OSWEC). True to their namesake, OSWECs extract energy from the surge force induced by incident waves. In their most basic form, OSWECs are analogous to a bottom-hinged paddle which pitches fore and aft in the direction of wave motion. Most commonly, OSWECs are designed for nearshore use in water depths of less than 20 m where they are mounted to the seafloor at their point of rotation. This work seeks to explore the response and design loads of foundation raised OSWECs for use in deeper waters, unlocking new and greater areas of wave energy resource.
A foundation raised OSWEC was designed, built, and tested in a laboratory wave tank. The scale OSWEC was modeled using two methods and compared to data from the experiments. The first of these methods is a highly efficient, analytical approach which derives from the solution to the boundary value problem transformed into elliptical coordinates. Previous validation results demonstrate the analytical model is capable of reproducing results from higher fidelity numerical simulations with computation times on the order of seconds. The second approach combines hydrodynamic coefficients evaluated in WAMIT with the open-source time domain solver WEC-Sim.
Two model configurations were observed: the scale OSWEC with no external attachments, and the OSWEC with external torsion springs, as to excite the model at its natural period. The pitch displacement, surge and heave forces, and pitch moment were recorded at the base of the model foundation in response to regular waves with periods ranging from 0.8 s to 2.8 s and heights from 1.5 mm to 14.3 mm. The experimental results show the surge force and pitch moment increase drastically across the observed period range from the addition of external springs. The increase is 20–30 times greater in the most extreme cases. Little to no change in heave forcing was observed between the configurations. The analytical and numerical models capture the natural period of the two configurations well, but the pitch displacement responses of both models fall short of the observations by as much as 60-80% at some periods. Excellent agreement in surge, heave, and pitch loading was obtained between the experimental data and both models. The models were used to simulate a simple power takeoff (PTO) system to approximate the additional PTO torque on the OSWEC. This torque was found to be substantial in magnitude relative to the pitch foundation moment over much of the observed period range.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.
