description: Experimental study of a uni junction transistor (UJT) has enabled to show that this electronic component has the same features as the so-called "memristor". So, we have used the memristor's direct current (DC) vM--iM characteristic for modeling the UJT's DC current--voltage characteristic. This has led us to confirm on the one hand, that the UJT is a memristor and, on the other hand, to propose a new four-dimensional autonomous dynamical system allowing to describe experimentally observed phenomena such as the transition from a limit cycle to torus breakdown.

description: Biological invasions are a significant ecological and economic global crisis. Protected areas also suffer from the increased burden that invasions place on their resources and the impacts placed on the ecosystem. However, management requires an ecological foundation which can inform best practice and optimize its responses. I explored the patterns and processes of invasion in Kruger National Park (KNP), South Africa; a large national park situated in the Lowveld savanna ecosystem. I used spatially-explicit alien plant data at various scales from: a national database, the whole of KNP, a specific region, river system, and small scale plots in one invaded area of KNP. Using various statistical techniques, primarily classification and regression tree analysis, logistic regression, ANOVA, Nestedness and spatial pattern analysis, I assessed the relationship between the patterns observed at a specific spatial grain and extent, discussing the implications for invasion ecology and management. Using this knowledge and conceptual tools, I developed a new framework and model which contributes to invasion theory. Scale is a critical component in evaluating alien plant invasions. Without careful consideration of scale, studies from different scenarios cannot be compared and the science of invasion ecology will not advance. I provide a framework for assessing the risks of plant invasions in a watershed, using both an area- and species-approach, highlighting areas of current and future potential concern. I also explore the role of intentional introduction of ornamental plants and discuss management approaches for dealing with this. Evaluating a riparian system provides insights into how different patches in a landscape are differentially invaded, and how patch type characteristics need to be considered carefully for management and monitoring. I also describe how reconstructing the invasion history of a species, complemented by fine scale assessment, provides insights into species-specific spread models, and also how these types of studies can input into general theories, such as the role of propagule pressure. These components together provide insight into the dynamics of alien plant invasions in an African savanna and protected area system.

description: Landau's quantization for incompletely nested Fermi surfaces is known to give rise to magnetic-field-induced spin-density waves(FISDW) in two-dimensional organic metals. Here we show that three-dimensional(3D) systems can have 3D-specific series of FISDW phases as energetically stable states, for which we clarify how and why they appear as the magnetic field is tilted. Each phase is characterized by quantized Hall effect for each of $σ_{xy}$ and $σ_{zx}$ that reside on a fractal spectrum like Hofstadter's butterfly.

description: The study investigated whether socio-cultural factors accentuate technical efficiency of yam farmers in Kogi State, Nigeria in addition to the socio-economic normally postulated. Primary data collected from 180 yam farmers randomly selected from three local government areas, one from each of the socio-cultural group of the State was used. Results indicated that there is more number of socio-cultural factors that determine the level of technical efficiency of yam farmers than the socio-economic. The results further show that male farmers are more affected by socio-cultural factors than female. In addition, the Okuns seems to be more affected while the Igalas were least affected. However, some of the socio-cultural practices are shrouded in some form of secrecy and research effort should be geared towards empirical understanding of their operation. Yam farmers should be provided with more comprehensive and adequate extension support to manage their farms in line with modern and improved production technologies, rather than basing their production decisions on factors alien to modern agricultural production.
Technologies, Markets and Behaviour: Some Implications for Estimating Efficiency and Productivity Change

description: Most productivity indexes can be exhaustively decomposed into measures of technical change and efficiency change. Estimating these components usually involves the use of data envelopment analysis (DEA) or stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) models. This paper shows how assumptions concerning technologies, markets and firm behaviour can be used to frame these models. The paper explains that the assumptions underpinning common DEA models are rarely, if ever, true. On the other hand, the assumptions underpinning basic SFA models are almost always true. The parameters of basic SFA models can be estimated using ordinary least squares and two-stage least squares methods. More complex SFA models can be estimated using maximum likelihood methods. Unfortunately, the assumptions underpinning some of these more complex models are generally not true. This has important implications for estimating the drivers of productivity change. To illustrate, the paper uses common least squares and maximum likelihood methods to estimate the drivers of productivity change in U.S. agriculture. As expected, the different estimators lead to qualitatively different estimates of the efficiency change components productivity change.
A new method to test the cosmic distance duality relation using the strongly lensed gravitational waves

description: We propose a new method to test the cosmic distance duality relation using the strongly lensed gravitational waves. The simultaneous observations of image positions, the relative time delay between different images, the redshift measurements of lens and source, together with the mass modelling of the lens galaxy, provide the angular diameter distance to the gravitational wave source. On the other hand, from the observation of gravitational wave signals the luminosity distance to the source can be obtained. This is to our knowledge the first method to simultaneously measure both the angular diameter distance and luminosity distance from the same source. Thus, the strongly lensed gravitational waves provide a unique way to test the cosmic distance duality relation. With the construction of the third generation gravitational detectors such as the Einstein Telescope in the future, it is possible to test the cosmic distance duality relation at an accuracy of several percent.

description: We give a development of the ODE method for the analysis of recursive algorithms described by a stochastic recursion. With variability modelled via an underlying Markov process, and under general assumptions, the following results are obtained: 1. Stability of an associated ODE implies that the stochastic recursion is stable in a strong sense when a gain parameter is small. 2. The range of gain-values is quantified through a spectral analysis of an associated linear operator, providing a non-local theory. 3. A second-order analysis shows precisely how variability leads to sensitivity of the algorithm with respect to the gain parameter. All results are obtained within the natural operator-theoretic framework of geometrically ergodic Markov processes.

description: This research seeks to understand the impacts of the deregulation of export wheat marketing in Victoria’s western Wimmera. The dismantling of the single desk for wheat exports, operated by the Australian Wheat Board, was finalised in June 2008. In the five years since, no studies have specifically sought to understand from growers how they have been impacted by deregulation. This paper addresses this gap in the literature. To appreciate what these changes have meant, this research conducted semi-structured interviews with 23 wheat farmers based around the western Victorian town of Kaniva. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of these interviews revealed the growers were intensely opposed to the deregulation of the export wheat market. Fundamentally, this shift has resulted in growers having to market their own grain, ensuring that the success of their business was heavily reliant upon their effectiveness in an area in which they had no skills or experience. As a result, this research found that, firstly, growers cited financial costs as being the most significant impact of deregulation, and secondly, the impacts of deregulation were most intensely felt by farmers on properties of between 2,000 and 4,000 acres. In addition, participants in this study frequently described how this policy shift had left them politically disenfranchised.

description: With computerized analysis of fetal heart rate(FHR) data from long-range monitoring, we aimed to comprehensively clarify the characteristics of FHR with increasing gestational age in low-risk pregnant women during the third trimester of pregnancy. This was an observational study. 85 fetuses of low-risk pregnant women were included. The data covered 28 ∼ 40 weeks of gestation, and 125 cases of FHR monitoring from 85 fetuses were totally collected. The FHR baseline rate, variability, and acceleration were computationally calculated, analyzed and compared. The average effective monitoring time for each case was 13.9 ± 4.3 h. FHR baseline gradually decreased as the gestational age progressed, and the maximum FHR baseline appeared at 28–29 weeks, which was 137.5 (133.0, 141.3) bpm, whereas the minimum FHR baseline appeared at 38–39 weeks, that was 132.8 (128.1, 138.4) bpm. FHR variability fluctuated in (4–12）bpm. It gradually increased from 28 to 33 weeks of gestation, reached the maximum of 7.6 (6.0–9.4) bpm, and then decreased until full-term pregnancy. The moderate variability proportion of FHR gradually increased from 28 weeks of gestation, peaked at 32–33 weeks as 65.8%, and then gradually decreased to 56.2% at 37 weeks, which was maintained at this level until 39 weeks. The variation tendency of minimal variability proportion was opposite to moderate variability proportion. When it reached 40 weeks, the minimal and moderate variability proportions were 50.0% and 49.0%, respectively. The FHR acceleration area showed no trend change during the third trimester, while fluctuated in (29.5–42.4) lattices/h. This study revealed that the characteristics of FHR gradually changed with increasing gestational age, and the most obvious change was observed at 32–33 weeks, demonstrating that the specific gestational weeks may be an important period for the physiological bias of FHR tends to mature.

description: The X-ray Pulsar PSR J1811-1925 in the historic supernova remnant G11.2-0.3 has a characteristic age over 10 times the age of the remnant. This likely implies that its current spin period, 65 ms, is close to its birth spin period. Alternatively, the pulsar may have an unusually high braking index. We report here on regular Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer/ Proportional Counting Array (RXTE/PCA) timing observations of the pulsar that were designed to measure its braking index. We provide a preliminary phase-coherent timing solution which includes a significant $\ddotν$. The braking index we measure is >> 3, likely a result of conventional timing noise. We also report on a preliminary analysis of the pulsar's unusually hard spectrum: we determine a photon index of $Γ= 1.78\pm0.74$, for the pulsed component of the spectra, consistent within the uncertainties with previous ASCA and Chandra observations. The pulsed emission of PSR J1811-1925 is seen beyond 30 keV, and the pulsations remain sinusoidal up to and beyond this energy.

description: The thermal disordering of the $d$-density wave, proposed to be the origin of the pseudogap state of high temperature superconductors, is suggested to be the same as that of the statistical mechanical model known as the 6-vertex model. The low temperature phase consists of a staggered order parameter of circulating currents, while the disordered high temperature phase is a power-law phase with no order. A special feature of this transition is the complete lack of an observable specific heat anomaly at the transition. There is also a transition at a even higher temperature at which the magnitude of the order parameter collapses. These results are due to classical thermal fluctuations and are entirely unrelated to a quantum critical point in the ground state. The quantum mechanical ground state can be explored by incorporating processes that causes transitions between the vertices, allowing us to discuss quantum phase transition in the ground state as well as the effect of quantum criticality at a finite temperature as distinct from the power-law fluctuations in the classical regime. A generalization of the model on a triangular lattice that leads to a 20-vertex model may shed light on the Wigner glass picture of the metal-insulator transition in two-dimensional electron gas. The power-law ordered high temperature phase may be generic to a class of constrained systems and its relation to recent advances in the quantum dimer models is noted.

description: WITH THE HELP of four University of Connecticut graduate students, two weeks ago I surveyed milk prices in 195 grocery stores in southern New England and neighboring parts of New York. The average price for milk in Providence supermarkets was $3.03 a gallon (the average prices for the major Providence grocery stores appear in the accompanying table). Currently, dairy farmers are suffering through the lowest prices in 25 years: $1.06 a gallon in October. Adding insult to injury, retail and farm milk prices have been near these levels for a year. According to Massachusetts Department of Agriculture estimates, the cost of processing milk and retailing it in supermarkets is less than $1 a gallon; so retail prices should be $2 or less. What we have is a virulent case of price-gouging by supermarkets and, most likely, the dairy processors (not the farmers) that supply them.

description: Crystalline structures, zone-center phonon modes, and the related dielectric response of the three low-pressure phases of HfO2 have been investigated in density-functional theory using ultrasoft pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis. The structures of low-pressure HfO2 polymorphs are carefully studied with both the local-density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The fully relaxed structures obtained with either exchange-correlation scheme agree reasonably well with experiment, although LDA yields better overall agreement. After calculating the Born effective charge tensors and the force-constant matrices by finite-difference methods, the lattice dielectric susceptibility tensors for the three HfO2 phases are computed by decomposing the tensors into the contributions from individual infrared-active phonon modes.

description: Focusing on the industrial area local authority (IALA), a governance regime widely applied in the south Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, this paper examines pathways to illiberal governance within ostensibly liberal democratic contexts. The history of the IALA exemplifies the modes by which the movement towards representative government at the local level in India was subverted at its very origins by the insertion of exceptions into the legislation that purported to establish and empower urban government. Applied to demarcated territories, both established industrial areas and spaces dedicated to globalized information technology and financial services, the IALA instrument devolves the powers and functions of the municipality to an agency controlled by the state government. The career of the IALA thus demonstrates how neoliberal agendas are enacted in enclave settings through the interplay of discursive logics of participatory governance and strategies of entrepreneurial governance in practice. Using Hyderabad as an empirical case, the paper argues that special purpose enclaves, subject to regimes of exceptional urban governance, represent vectors both of neoliberalism and neo-illiberalism in avowedly liberal democratic contexts in the Global South.

description: We present analysis and spectral fits of the RXTE data from the May/June 1999 outburst of Aql X-1. These data include observations in the rising portion of the hard state, in the soft state, and in the falling portion of the hard state. We show that the data can be fit by a purely thermal Comptonization model for all the observations, but that more complicated models cannot be ruled out. Up to 60% of the corona's power in the soft state may be injected into non-thermal electrons. The soft state data show approximately constant optical depth and coronal temperatures over a range of $\sim10$ in luminosity, while they show evidence for a reduction of seed photon temperature with reduced luminosity and indicate that the characteristic size of the seed photon emitting region is roughly constant throughout the soft state. The hard state before the soft state shows a higher luminosity, higher optical depth, and lower electron temperature than the hard state after the soft state. We find a reduction of the hard (30-60 keV) X-ray flux during a type I burst and show that it requires a total corona energy reservoir of less than $\sim 10^{38}$ ergs.

Sleep deprivation - and its effects on brain function
Creators: name: Farooq, Bisma
Publisher: name: Knowledge Commons
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Sleep deprivation

description: Sleep deprivation can be considered in two ways; partial and total. Where partial sleep deprivation is less than 6 and more than 1 hour of sleep at night while total sleep deprivation is 0 to 1 hour of sleep at night. Research consistently shows that sleep deprivation has a negative impact on memory and working memory (Newbury, 2021; Li, 2024). This is particularly concerning for adolescents, who are at a high risk for mental health issues and are more susceptible to sleep loss (Uccella, 2023). Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize healthy sleep habits, especially in this age group, to support their cognitive and mental well-being. It is to be noted most crucial effects take place when there is an absence of SWS. The research aims to define the parameters for the size of effect on brain functions and their impact. To do so we have picked articles related to the effect of TSD/PSD on learning, working memory, neurobehavioral function, mental health and physical health.

description: The branded integration strategy is not new. Recall that Agrimark owned Hood in a joint venture with Agway for many years. It did not work for many reasons, including the fact that Agrimark was prohibited by the U.S. Justice Department from direct representation on the Hood board of directors. Justice feared vertical foreclosure, i.e. if Hood was controlled by Agrimark then other non Agrimark farmers and cooperatives might not be able to sell milk to Hood. On this point let us hope that Justice exercises similar concern on the current Hood, National Dairy Holdings merger where vertical foreclosure will, if the merger is allowed as proposed by the companies, cut Agrimark producers off from Hood.

description: The structure of LiMoS2 has been experimentally determined for the first time. The approach of atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis was used because of the lack of well defined Bragg peaks due to the short structural coherence (~ 50 A) in this intercalation compound. This represents one of the first instances where the structure of such poorly diffracting material was determined from the total scattering including diffuse as well as Bragg scattering. The reduction of Mo by Li results in Mo-Mo bonding with the formation of chains of distorted Mo-S6 octahedra. Using the refined structural parameters the electronic band-structure for this material has been calculated and is in good agreement with observed material properties.

description: Brazil has pursued a mix of policy interventions in the fuel sector to achieve multiple objectives of economic and social development, promoting biofuels and reducing dependence on oil. We develop a welfare economic framework to analyze the rationale the fuel policy choices in Brazil and to analyze the trade-offs they have engendered in the fuel and sugar sectors. We also examine their distributional impacts on producers and consumers in the sugar, oil and biofuel sectors and on government revenues. Additionally, we undertake a normative analysis for the purpose of comparing the welfare and environmental impacts of existing policies with those justified by the goal of maximizing social welfare and addressing market failure. The ex-post analysis of the outcomes for different stakeholders in the fuel and sugar sectors provides insights on the likely political-economic factors guiding policy choices. We find that the status quo policies are likely to have been motivated by the objectives of exporting oil, raising government revenue and promoting rural development through the sugarcane sector and have had a significant adverse effect on fuel and sugar consumers and aggregate social welfare in Brazil.

description: The thesis contains a literature review, three research chapters and a concluding chapter in which I make specific recommendations on management practice to minimize gene flow where necessary. The Literature review contains four subsections that have been or are in the process of publication. In this chapter, all figures and tables are contained within the text to maintain an easy reading style. The research chapters are written in article format and the figures and tables have been placed after the reference list. When reading this thesis you will experience some repetition between the introductions in the different research chapters – the reason for this is to place each research question within the correct context. Furthermore, the soybean research on potential pollen-mediated gene flow and pollen-mediated gene flow has been combined into one chapter. However, I felt that the corresponding chapter for maize was too cumbersome, in terms of the volume of data, and have separated these aspects into distinct chapters.

description: Farmers want to know how this proposed law will benefit them. This briefing paper explains in a general fashion how the proposed law benefits farmers. Actual benefits from the law will depend critically on the detailed regulations that the Commission promulgates. Those details will include the price collar rates at wholesale and retail, the raw milk price that the wholesale collar is applied to (for example, we propose using the average price of raw milk used by processors for products: whole – 3.25%, 2%, 1% and skim), and any special allowances/exemptions for small retailers and the added cost of delivery to them. Understand, however, that the bulk of all fluid milk marketed in Southern New England is processed by three processors and marketed at retail by at most eight chains including convenience chains.

description: Transport properties of three-dimensional self-affine rough fractures are studied by means of an effective-medium analysis and numerical simulations using the Lattice-Boltzmann method. The numerical results show that the effective-medium approximation predicts the right scaling behavior of the permeability and of the velocity fluctuations, in terms of the aperture of the fracture, the roughness exponent and the characteristic length of the fracture surfaces, in the limit of small separation between surfaces. The permeability of the fractures is also investigated as a function of the normal and lateral relative displacements between surfaces, and is shown that it can be bounded by the permeability of two-dimensional fractures. The development of channel-like structures in the velocity field is also numerically investigated for different relative displacements between surfaces. Finally, the dispersion of tracer particles in the velocity field of the fractures is investigated by analytic and numerical methods. The asymptotic dominant role of the geometric dispersion, due to velocity fluctuations and their spatial correlations, is shown in the limit of very small separation between fracture surfaces.

description: The possible impact of interpregnancy interval (IPI) on perinatal outcomes has long been studied, however, a definition of the optimal interval is still not clear. Both short and long IPIs have been associated with obstetrical syndromes and short and long-term complications. In this study, we sought to explore the impact of IPI on the hazard for neoplasm of the offspring, thus contribute to the present literature in determining the preferred birth spacing. We aim to investigate the association between short and long IPIs and the hazard for childhood neoplasm of the offspring. A population-based retrospective cohort analysis comparing offspring neoplasm hazard following three different IPIs. Exposure was defined as short (<6 months), or long (>60 months) IPIs, whereas intermediate IPI (6 months − 60 months) served as the comparison group. The study included singleton live births in a tertiary regional hospital between 1991 and 2014. Offspring were followed for 18 years, and all hospitalization records for neoplasm diagnoses were collected. Kaplan–Meier survival curves were used for the cumulative incidence of neoplasm morbidity, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to control for confounders. During the study period, 144,397 deliveries met the inclusion criteria. Of those, 18,947 (13.1%) occurred in women with short IPI, 114,012 (79%) in women with intermediate IPI, and 11,438 (7.9%) in women with long IPI. 61 benign neoplasms and 80 malignant neoplasms were registered in offspring born after long IPI. The total percentage of neoplasm were the highest in the long IPI group versus the intermediate and short IPI groups (malignant − 0.7%, 0.6%, 0.5% respectively, benign − 0.5%, 0.4%, 0.3% respectively). Controlling for maternal age, diabetes mellitus, preterm delivery, birth weight, smoking, cesarean section, and fertility treatments, long IPI was found to be independently associated with high hazard for long-term pediatric neoplasm related hospitalizations (adjusted HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.09, 1.77). Short IPI may be associated to decreased hazard for childhood neoplasms (adjusted HR 0.74, 95% Cl 0.59, 0.92). Long IPI is associated with a high hazard for childhood neoplasms, compared with intermediate and short IPIs. Short IPI may be associated with decreased hazard for childhood neoplasms.
