Lateral Coupling within the Ensemble of InAs/InGaAlAs/InP Quantum Dashes

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In this work we investigate the electronic structure of coupled quantum dashes.The respective conned state energy levels are calculated for various cross-sectional shapes and sizes of the dashes and in function of the lateral distance between them.The results are confronted with the existing experimental data on the optical transitions in such structures.It has been concluded that for realistic system parameters (geometry and spatial in-plane separation) the obtained direct coupling is weak and in most of the applications the dashes can be considered individually, as long as the ensemble is strongly inhomegeneous.
Correction and Fitting Civil Aviation Flight Data EGT Based on RPM: Polynomial Least Squares Analysis

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

There are different missing flight data due to various reasons in the process of acquisition and storage, especially in general aviation, which cause inconvenience for flight data analysis. Effectively explaining the relationship between flight data parameters and selecting a simple and effective method for fitting and correcting flight data suitable for engineering applications are the main points of the paper. Herein, a convenient and applicable approach of missing data correction and fitting based on the least squares polynomial method is introduced in this work. Firstly, the polynomial fitting model based on the least squares method is used to establish multi-order polynomial by existing flight data since the order of the least squares polynomial has a direct impact on the fitting effect. The order is too high or too small, over-fitting or deviation will occur, resulting in improper data. Therefore, the optimization and selection of the model order are significant for flight data correction and fitting. Because the flight data of the aircraft engine exhaust gas temperature (EGT) are often lost because of the immature detection technology, a series of the multi-order polynomial are established by the relationship of aircraft engine exhaust gas temperature and Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). Case study results confirm the optimal model order is four for the fitting and correction of aircraft engine exhaust temperature, and the least squares polynomial method is applicable and effective for EGT flight data correction and fitting based on RPM data.
Temperature Dependence of Degradation of Colored Oxo-Biodegradable Low-Density Polyethylene Films under Accelerated Thermal Aging

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

This work reports the effect of temperature on degradation of colored low-density polyethylene (PE) films during thermal aging. Film samples were formulated according to Taguchi design of experiments where colorant, thickness, and pro-oxidant concentration were varied accordingly. Tensile properties of films were monitored with time during heat aging in a hot air oven at 50, 70, and 90 °C. Likewise, surfaces of aged films were analyzed to evaluate the degree of oxidation of PE during thermal aging. The Arrhenius equation was then used to predict the lifetime of PE at an in-use temperature of 30 °C. Results indicate that increasing the temperature reduces the tensile strength and modulus of films. Formation of carbonyl groups as degradation products is also observed at higher temperatures. Consequently, thermal aging at 90 °C offers the highest extent of degradation of exposed films. Regression analysis reveals that white films degrade at a higher rate than yellow and non-colored films. The presence of TiO 2 in white films shortens the lifetime of PE while amine stabilizer in yellow films enhances the stability of PE during thermal aging.
Prevention and Management of Hypertension and associated disorders by Bhastrika Pranayama (A breathing exercise)

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Hypertension is a very commonly prevailing problem in our community, which is increasing day by day with an alarming rate. Excessive eating of saturated fatty oily foods, sedimentary life style and avoidance of physical exercise produces deposition of cholesterol in the blood veins and arteries which results hypertension and further cardiac disorders. It becomes necessary to find a non invasive medical solution to this problem. Therefore in the present study , Bhasatrika Pranayama was selected and performed on 30 patients for 60 days to evaluate its efficacy on hypertension and related signs and symptoms. It was observed that Bhastrika Pranayama alone may diminish hypertension and associated symptoms because it not only produces symptomatic improvement but also improves various mental faculties to produce significant improvement in metabolism of all the patients. Therefore, Bhastrika Pranayama can be administered effectively to the healthy people as well as patients of hypertension as a remedy for preventive and curative aspect.

Decision Analysis from the Perspectives of Single and Multiple Stakeholders

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Decision analysis is a quantitative approach to making optimal decisions. It is generally valuable in drug development, but may be of particular value for platform trials, where it might not only improve decision quality but also communication among stakeholders. In this technique, a quantitative utility function is created to represent the value of particular outcomes. The overall expected value of the strategy is then simply the sum of the utility values of the outcomes, each weighted by its probability of occurrence given the strategy. In this chapter, we give three examples of decision analysis; optimizing the size of a proof of concept trial, optimizing the development path after a biomarker stratified Phase 2 study, and optimizing a Phase 3 study design in the presence of a still uncertain biomarker hypothesis. In the latter case, different utility functions representing perspectives of multiple stakeholders are used, illuminating possible areas of misalignment among stakeholders. Finally, the application of these techniques to platform trials themselves is discussed.
Stories of Blogs, E-books and Time: Slowdown, Participation and Resistance in Wu Ming’s Giap and <i>L’archivio e la strada</i>

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper analyses the relationship between Wu Ming’s blog Giap and the e-book Giap: L’archivio e la strada, where the writing collective gathered a selection of blog posts published between 2010 and 2012. Focusing on the temporal dimension of on-line and off-line reading practices, this paper demonstrates that the transmedia transfer of content from the blog to the e-book—a hybrid medium available both on-line and off-line—affects the experience of the reader offering an alternative reading rhythm, slowing it down and engendering a more thoughtful and critical approach to its content. The focus on the temporal dimension of reading practices must be framed into Wu Ming’s cultural project, primarily aimed at sabotaging and undermining the rhythm of life, production, and consumption imposed by Capitalism. As part of this project, the blog Giap promotes practices of resistance to the commodification of cultural products and impulsive forms of content consumption. In particular, the content available on Giap is protected by copy-left policies, while the comments to its most thoughtful posts are blocked until seventy-two hours after their publication. The transmedia transfer of posts from the blog to the e-book reorders their sequence, establishes a different relationship between reader and content and encourages the latter to reflect on the texts within a restructured temporal dimension. The publication of the e-book therefore represents a further form of slowdown that brings about the possibility of an alternative to on-line impulsive reading practices, bridges on-line and off-line dimensions, tackles issues of accessibility and preserves its content from on-line dispersive fluxes.

Attenuation of Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Response by Chronic Cannabidiol Administration Is Associated with Improved n-6/n-3 PUFA Ratio in the White and Red Skeletal Muscle in a Rat Model of High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The consumption of fatty acids has increased drastically, exceeding the nutritional requirements of an individual and leading to numerous metabolic disorders. Recent data indicate a growing interest in using cannabidiol (CBD) as an agent with beneficial effects in the treatment of obesity. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the influence of chronic CBD administration on the n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) ratio in different lipid fractions, inflammatory pathway and oxidative stress parameters in the white and red gastrocnemius muscle. All the designed experiments were performed on Wistar rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or a standard rodent diet for seven weeks and subsequently injected with CBD (10 mg/kg once daily for two weeks) or its vehicle. Lipid content and oxidative stress parameters were assessed using gas–liquid chromatography (GLC), colorimetric and/or immunoenzymatic methods, respectively. The total expression of proteins of an inflammatory pathway was measured by Western blotting. Our results revealed that fatty acids (FAs) oversupply is associated with an increasing oxidative stress and inflammatory response, which results in an excessive accumulation of FAs, especially of n-6 PUFAs, in skeletal muscles. We showed that CBD significantly improved the n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio and shifted the equilibrium towards anti-inflammatory n-3 PUFAs, particularly in the red gastrocnemius muscle. Additionally, CBD prevented generation of lipid peroxidation products and attenuated inflammatory response in both types of skeletal muscle. In summary, the results mentioned above indicate that CBD presents potential therapeutic properties with respect to the treatment of obesity and related disturbances.
School-based influenza immunisation programme pilot: Using an out-of-hours model

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Influenza is a common and potentially serious viral infection. The Joint Committee of Vacination and Immunisation recommended that the seasonal influenza programme should be expanded in 2012 to include all children from the ages of 2–17 years in the UK. In NHS Forth Valley, the implementation of the influenza immunisation programme was presided over by multi-agency group including school nursing. School nurses provide a vital input to the immunisation of children and in response to the challenges presented by the introduction of the programme, the school nursing service implemented a weekend delivery model in pilot areas in NHS Forth Valley. The model is person-centred and geared towards the priorities of public health and protection. The model is also underpinned by minimising disruption to normal school nursing and education service workloads and to families. Strategies to support an accesible and family-friendly immunisation service have been identified and now need further translation into practice.
Burgess and Hoyt in Los Angeles: testing the Chicago models in an automotive-age American city

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

For much of the twentieth century, the "Chicago models" proposed by E. W. Burgess in the 1920s, Homer Hoyt in the 1930s, and Chauncy Harris and Edward Ullman in 1945 dominated discussions of the spatial form of cities in the United States. The changes that have subsequently occurred in American urban geography naturally raise questions about the continuing relevance of the models. In recent years, a "Los Angeles School" in geography and urban studies has dismissed the Chicago models as outdated. But the critics have provided little empirical evidence in support of their claims. Identifying exogenous amenities—those of distance from the city center, terrain, and waterfronts—as central elements in the Chicago models, we analyzed the relation of these factors to the patterns of income in Los Angeles and Chicago using spatial statistical regression. The newer, automobile-age city closely follows, while the older city of Chicago deviates substantially from, the patterns predicted in the classical Chicago models. These models may best describe the most recently built American cities and may be more relevant than ever today in explaining the dynamics of urban form.
First Result of Simulating Traffic Behaviours Using Distributed Adaptive Control

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper Distributed Adaptive Control (DAC) theory is used to simulate basic tra c behaviours such as car following, lane changing, overtaking, etc. A single link with a pre-set tra c density is simulated. In the system each car is a dependent unit to other cars, which applies an independent DAC algorithm. The car interacts with adjacent environment while driving on the road and adapts its behaviour according to front cars’ behaviour to make decisions whether accelerating, decelerating or changing lanes. The DAC integrated in each car is actually an unsupervised learning algorithm modified from Hebbian learning. So these cars not only learn how to drive in the system, but also forget a small amount of their previous experiences to adapt themselves to the dynamic environment. Compare to the other micro simulating softwares, the big advantage of this model is that each car is an intelligent unit that can learn and forget to adapt itself to the real situations instead of applying certain pre-defined rules. The simulating result is compared to a similar scenario in VISSIM as well as real data, and the result looks promising.
The boundary and scattering rigidity problems for simple MP-systems

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We consider a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, endowed with a magnetic field and a potential. This is called an $ \mathcal{MP} $-system. On simple $ \mathcal{MP} $-systems, we consider both the boundary rigidity problem and the scattering rigidity problem, on the same conformal class, on analytic manifolds, and surfaces. Under the assumption of knowing the boundary action functions or the scattering relations for only one energy level, we prove that we can recover the $ \mathcal{MP} $-system up to a gauge. To obtain the results, we reduce the $ \mathcal{MP} $-system to the corresponding magnetic system and we apply the results from [9] on simple magnetic systems.
A density functional tight binding/force field approach to the interaction of molecules with rare gas clusters: Application to (C6H6)+/0Arn clusters

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

We propose in the present paper a SCC-DFTB/FF (Self-Consistent-Charge Density Functional based Tight Binding/Force-Field) scheme adapted to the investigation of molecules trapped in rare gas environments. With respect to usual FF descriptions, the model involves the interaction of quantum electrons in a molecule with rare gas atoms in an anisotropic scheme. It includes polarization and dispersion contributions and can be used for both neutral and charged species. Parameters for this model are determined for hydrocarbon-argon complexes and the model is validated for small hydrocarbons. With the future aim of studying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Ar matrices, extensive benchmark calculations are performed on (C6H6)+/0Arn clusters against DFT and CCSD(T) calculations for the smaller sizes, and more generally against other experimental and theoretical data. Results on the structures and energetics (isomer ordering and energy separation, cohesion energy per Ar atom) are presented in detail for n = 1–8, 13, 20, 27, and 30, for both neutrals and cations. We confirm that the clustering of Ar atoms leads to a monotonous decrease of the ionization potential of benzene for n ⩽ 20, in line with previous experimental and FF data.
The effect of Bupleurum falcatum L. on the catecholamines of depression rat model

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Objective: This study was performed to investigate the anti-depressant effect of Bupleurum falcat urn L in rat model of depression(FST model; forced swimming test model). Method: we checked catecholamines of rat brain by using WLC to verify the anti-depressant effect of Bupleurum falcatum L. and to know the pharmacological mechanism of Bupleurum falcatum L. briefly. Catecholamines include dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine and have very important function for antidepressant. To perform our experiment, we dissected rat brain to 4 parts(cerebral cortex, striatum, hypothalamus, hippocampus) and checked catecholamines-dopamine, norepinephrine, DOPAC (3,4-dihydrophenylacetic acid), HVA (homovanillic acid)- through HPLC. The rats were divided into 3 groups-normal saline group, imipramine group and Bupleurum falcatum L group) Result: The results were as follows: 1. In cerebral cortex, Bupleurum falcatum L. increased dopamine and DOPAC significantly. 2. In striatum, Bupleurum falcatum L. increased norepinephrine, dopamine and HVA significantly. 3. In hypothalamus, Bupleurum falcatum L. increased DOPAC and HVA significantly. 4. In hippocampus, Bupleurum falcatum L increased no catecholamine. Conclusion: From above results, we knew that he anti-depressant effect of Bupleurum falcat um L has an anti-depressant effect, but it is thought that more precise researches is needed.
The effects of processing methods and cholesterol addition on the nutritive value of leaf protein concentrates in chicks.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The effects of processing methods and cholesterol addition on the nutritive value of LPCs prepared from alfalfa, Italian ryegrass and ladino clover were studied in chicks. Each LPC fortified with methionine was used as a sole protein source, providing 10% protein in the diet.The washing by ethanol of thermally-treated coagulum obtained from alfalfa was effective in reducing the medicagenic acid content and improving the nutritive value, whereas this treatment had little effect on the nutritive value of Italian ryegrass and ladino clover LPCs.The adjustment of the alfalfa extract to pH 8 by NaOH had little effect on the medicagenic acid content but significantly improved the nutritive value although it was still inferior to the nutritive value of the ethanol-treated LPC.The heated and NaOH-treated alfalfa LPCs high in the medicagenic acid content had a hypocholesterolemic effect. The addition of 1.0% cholesterol was as effective as the ethanol treatment in improving the nutritive value of the heated and NaOH-treated alfalfa LPCs.The nutritive value of alfalfa and Italian ryegrass LPCs coagulated by anaerobic fermen-tation of the extract for 7 days was much lower than that of the thermally-treated LPCs. In the case of the fermented alfalfa LPC, the accumulation of medicagenic acid was observed and the cholesterol addition was not so effective.This work was supported by a grant-in-aid for Co-operative Research No. 59360036 from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture in Japan.
D.: BrainBasher: A multi-modal BCI game for research and demonstration

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Brain-controlled games have generally been developed to test some brain-computer interfacing (BCI) paradigm or for demonstration purposes, without much thought about the user experience. A simple BCI game has been developed to compare the user experience resulting from BCI versus keyboard input. The user study shows that BCI makes the game more difficult, and more challenging. This results in a more immersive and richer experience. The game has also been compared to a standard clinical design (without the elements of a clear goal, feedback, and playful design). The game interface is more pleasing and the experience more immersive. The subjects also performed significantly better. BCI as an input modality for games enhances certain aspects of the user experience. The elements introduced by games also have their influence on the use of BCI. It is time to take BCI seriously, and research the interlocking effects of combining this paradigm with that of games. iii ivSamenvatting
