Dirac-Born-Infeld action on the tachyon kink and vortex

The tachyon effective field theory describing the dynamics of a non-BPS\nD-brane in superstring theory has an infinitely thin but finite tension kink\nsolution describing a codimension one BPS D-brane. We study the world-volume\ntheory of massless modes on the kink, and show that the world volume action has\nprecisely the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) form without any higher derivative\ncorrections. We generalize this to a vortex solution in the effective field\ntheory on a brane-antibrane pair. As in the case of the kink, the vortex is\ninfinitely thin, has finite energy density, and the world-volume action on the\nvortex is again given exactly by the DBI action on a BPS D-brane. We also\ndiscuss the coupling of fermions and restoration of supersymmetry and\n$\\kappa$-symmetry on the world-volume of the kink. Absence of higher derivative\ncorrections to the DBI action on the soliton implies that all such corrections\nare related to higher derivative corrections to the original effective action\non the world-volume of a non-BPS D-brane or brane-antibrane pair.\n

Soft-assembled human–machine perceptual systems

Cognitive systems are highly adaptable and flexible, such that action and perception capabilities can be achieved with the body in various ways, and incorporate features of the environment and nonbiological tools. Perceptual learning refers to enduring changes to a system’s ability to perceive and respond to environmental stimuli. Here I present an integrative framework for understanding how such capabilities occur in human–machine systems comprising brain–body–tool–environment interactions. Central to this work is the claim that the capacity for high degrees of adaptation, flexibility, and learning are possible because human–machine systems are soft-assembled systems, that is, systems whose material constitution is not rigidly constrained so as to achieve goals via a variety of configurations. I begin by presenting the foundations of the framework on offer: the concepts, methods, and theories of ecological psychology; embodied cognition; dynamical systems theory; and machine intelligence. Next, I apply the framework to the case of visually-guided action. I conclude by explaining how this framework provides the explanatory and investigative tools to understand human–machine perceptual systems as soft-assembled systems that span brains-bodies-tools-environments.

EFFECTS OF ICING TREATMENT ON DELAYED ONSET MUSCLE SORENESS??@DURING 7 DAYS OF MAXIMUM STRENGTH EXERCISE

Individuals who engage in unaccustomed or eccentric exercise typically suffer through a subsequent bout of transient muscle soreness known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). To prevent or diminish the symptoms of DOMS after one bout of eccentric exercise, several researchers applied various modalities and treatments; such as ice, heat, massage, light exercise and magnetic fields. PURPOSE: To determine effects of icing treatment on DOMS following repeated bouts of daily maximum heel raise exercise. METHODS: Twelve female collegiate students (mean ± SD, age: 20.8 ± 1.2 yr) had performed in some moderate exercise regularly. After the maximum exercise, the subjects put a pack of ice on non-dominant lower leg for 20 minutes (Tre-leg), but the dominant leg was not treated (Cont-leg). This study examined creatine kinase (CK), muscle pain with muscle pain meter, dorsiflexed ankle joint angle, muscle tightness, scale of perceived pain during resting and walking, maximum circumference of calf muscle, isometric muscle strength and long jumping of one leg in pre- and post-daily exercise for 7 days of exercise period (Ex-period) and for 14 days of recovery period (Rec-period). RESULTS: The CK was significantly increased from Day 1 in Ex-period though Day 3 in Rec-period (p < 0.05), and the peak CK values manifested on Day 4 (p < 0.001) in Ex-period. The muscle pain, the muscle tightness, the scale of perceived pain, the long jumping and the isometric muscle strength on both legs were significantly increased from Day 1 through Day 7 in Ex-period (p < 0.01) and peaked on Day 3 in Ex-period (p < 0.01). These values were recovered on Day 7 in Ex-period. The angle of dorsiflexed ankle on both legs were significantly peaked on Day 5 (p < 0.001) in Ex-period and gradually recovered, but these values did not returned to the baseline during this study. There were no significant differences between Tre-leg and Cont-leg. CONCLUSION: The additional damages after peaked values of each DOMS criterion were not occurred on the exercised muscles, even though the subjects repeated the bouts of daily exercise. The icing treatment after the maximum exercise of heel raise may not diminish DOMS.

Higher Pleasures, Civic Virtue, and Democracy: A Reconstruction of

This article takes a start in the utilitarian philosophy of John Stuart Mill and considers an interpretation of the concept of as referring to pleasures. This interpretation is based on the idea that even if one is a utilitarian, the value of democracy (majority rule) should take precedence over the value of (hedonistic) utilitarianism. On the political level, this has the consequence that civic virtue (or higher pleasures) should have an important role in a democratic society. Thus, the article connects to contemporary discussions on republicanism in a novel way and offers some ideas of how higher pleasures may be promoted in a constitutional context.

Seasonality of host-seeking Ixodes ricinus nymph abundance in relation to climate

There is growing concern about climate change and its impact on human health. Specifically, global warming could increase the probability of emerging infectious diseases, notably because of changes in the geographical and seasonal distributions of disease vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks. For example, the range of Ixodes ricinus , the most common and widespread tick species in Europe, is currently expanding northward and at higher altitudes. However, little is known about the seasonal variation in tick abundance in different climates. Seasonality of I. ricinus is often based on expert opinions while field surveys are usually limited in time. Our objective was to describe seasonal variations in I. ricinus abundance under different climates. To this end, a seven-year longitudinal study, with monthly collections of I. ricinus host-seeking nymphs, was carried out in France, in six locations corresponding to different climates. Tick data were log-transformed and grouped between years so as to obtain seasonal variations for a typical year. Daily average temperature was measured during the study period. Seasonal patterns of nymph abundance were established for the six different locations using linear harmonic regression. Model parameters were estimated separately for each location. Seasonal patterns appeared different depending on the climate considered. Western temperate sites showed an early spring peak, a summer minimum and a moderate autumn and winter abundance. More continental sites showed a later peak in spring, and a minimum in winter. The peak occurred in summer for the mountainous site, with an absence of ticks in winter. In all cases except the mountainous site, the timing of the spring peak could be related to the sum of degree days since the beginning of the year. Winter abundance was positively correlated to the corresponding temperature. Our results highlight clear patterns in the different sites corresponding to different climates, which allow further forecast of tick seasonality under changing climate conditions.

Mutation and cancer in man

The risk of cancer can be increased by both genetic predisposition and environmental exposure. A common mechanism, mutation, may be involved in both. The rate of mutation in germ cells is the principal determinant of the incidence of genetically predisposed individuals, whereas the rate in somatic cells is the principal determinant in those not so predisposed. Many environmental carcinogens produce their effects via increased somatic mutation rates. The individuals of a population may be classified according to the operation of genetic predisposition, exposure to environmental carcinogens (mutagens), both, or neither. This last group reflects "background" somatic mutation rates.

Design of Wireless Links Using Large Antenna Arrays with Channel Correlation

The link where both the transmitter and receiver can use a large antenna array is studied, proposed as a method of antenna offloading and connecting access points in a Two-Tier cellular network. For correlated fading channels, receiver diversity techniques perform worse than the proposed Gram-Schmidt Precoding Algorithm, which successively orthogonalizes the column space of the transmitted streams for a single user. Due to averaging effects from using many antenna elements, filters can be approximated using channel correlation information. A block successive interference cancellation receiver is used to extend the proposed algorithm for the multi-user case. Finally the design of Hybrid Beamformers for limited RF-Chain systems is studied, where phase-only processing is done at the RF-band, followed by digital processing at the baseband. A row combiner, that clusters groups of antenna elements sufficiently correlated, is shown to outperform a random projection scheme that has a Discrete Fourier Transform matrix structure.

A time-based model for investigating parallel logic-level simulation

A model for studying the effects of timing models and synchronization strategies for event-driven parallel logic-level simulation is presented. Two timing models, variable-delay and unit-delay, and two synchronization strategies, synchronous and conservative asynchronous, are discussed. The average parallelism of circuits using the two timing models are compared, and the execution times of circuits using various timing models and synchronization strategies are considered. It is shown that the circuit parallelism using unit-delay timing provides an upper bound on that of any timebase used in variable-delay timing and that with either timing model, the execution time of the conservative asynchronous strategy is a lower bound over the synchronous strategy, assuming an unlimited number of processors. However, assuming that all events take the same amount of time, it is shown that with unit-delay timing, the execution time of the synchronous strategy equals that of the asynchronous strategy.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Street Art and the Environment

Can art change the world?Issues like climate change and unsustainable natural resource consumption are climbing ever higher on the international political agenda. Scientific reports, media coverage and information campaigns advise the public about these complex matters, including the environmental impact of human activity. It can however be difficult to engage people with facts and figures alone.This book examines a number of environment-themed artistic interventions. It suggests that street art, partly due to its unauthorised placement in everyday settings, is well-suited to shift attitudes and behaviours. The book also considers how online viewing may affect the experience of artworks and, in turn, their potential to influence people regarding the environment.Peter Bengtsen is an art historian and sociologist. He has been writing about street art since 2006. His first book, "The Street Art World", was published by Almendros de Granada Press in 2014.

Optimal Control of a Reverse Osmosis Plant for Brackish Water Desalination Driven by Intermittent Wind Power

This work addresses the design of an online control system that continuously regulates a reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant driven by wind power aided by water storage tanks. The control objective is to produce the exact hourly water demand in the presence of wind power intermittency, disturbances, and operational limitations. The manipulated variables are the RO feed pressure and the active number of RO vessels. The control system helped to decrease the annual water deficit by 20% under nominal conditions and when the plant is under the influence of disturbances. Moreover, the control system managed to decrease the annual water deficit by 73% when the plant operated under a shortage of an active number of wind turbines and RO vessels. The loss of redistributed production ratio (LPb) and the loss of raw production ratio (LP) were used as the controlled variables representing the proposed control objective. LPb was superior to LP by creating conservative control actions that produce the required water demand without violating the required water purity.

Self-etching Primers vs Acid Conditioning: Impact on Bond Strength Between Ceramics and Resin Cement

SUMMARY This study tested whether a self-etching surface agent and the conventional hydrofluoric acid (HF) would provide the same bonding capacity between resin cement and feldspathic (Fd) and lithium disilicate (Ld) ceramics. Ceramic blocks were cut with a low-speed diamond saw with water cooling (Isomet 1000, Buehler, Lake Bluff, IL, USA) into 20 blocks of 5 × 7 × 4 mm, which were ground flat in a polishing machine (EcoMet/AutoMet 250, Buehler) under water cooling. The blocks were randomly divided into eight groups (n=5), according to ceramic type (Ld or Fd), surface conditioning (HF + Monobond Plus or Etch and Prime), and aging by thermocycling (TC or absence-baseline). After 24 hours in 37°C distilled water, blocks were embedded into acrylic resin and 1-mm2 cross-section beams composed of ceramic/cement/composite were obtained. The microtensile test was performed in a universal testing machine (DL-1000, EMIC, São José dos Campos, Brazil; 0.5 mm.min−1, 50 kgf load cell). Bond strength (MPa) was calculated by dividing the load at failure (in N) by the bonded area (mm2). The fractured specimens were examined under stereomicroscopy, and one representative sample of each group was randomly selected before the cementation and was further used for analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The self-etching agent showed the highest bond strength for Fd (24.66±4.5) and Ld (24.73±6.9) ceramics and a decrease in surface wettability. SEM and EDS showed the presence of similar components in the tested materials with different topographies for both. Therefore, the self-etching primer was able to deliver even higher bonding than HF+silane to a resin cement.

Tokos and Atokion: An Examination of Natural Law Reasoning Against Usury and Against Contraception

"Natural law," which has been appealed to by catholic theologians in their arguments against both usury and contraception, is examined in this essay. Usury was "tokos" to the Greeks, while what caused contraception was "atokion." Beyond this verbal link, usury and contraception share the bond of having both been condemned as contrary to the natural level of generation. An act of lending is naturally sterile; an act of intercourse naturally fertile. These 2 propositions appeared to be the chief rational support of the absolute prohibition by Catholic theologians of any profit on a loan or of any act preventing intercourse from being fertile. The question arises as to why the argument based on nature seemed so superior; psychological and rhetorical satisfactions would seem to account for the choice. The sacral character of coitus to which the argument finally appeals seems no stronge than the usury argument's appeal to the sacred character of time. The claim that coitus was naturally fertile continued long after acceptance of the marriage of sterile individuals, intercourse during pregnancy, and use of the rhythm method. The argument asserted that contraception was an evil which man could grasp. Values dear to all people were endangered by the practice of contraception, and the argument base on nature stood for this proposition.

Constructing the gendered body? A critical discourse analysis of gender equality schemes in the health sector in England

This article examines gender discourses embedded in gender equality policies in the health sector. Gender mainstreaming was first adopted by a number of international and intergovernmental, regional and national actors some time ago, yet there is limited evidence of progress in addressing gender justice in health. Failures in gender equality policies have often been attributed to the lack of gender-disaggregated data, combined with a lack of resources, training and skills. In addition, studies have identified problems originating in the shift from participatory approaches to technocratic solutions, and the persistence of underlying gender relations of power. However, gender equality policies may also contribute to gender discourse in ways which reinforce and perpetuate inequalities between men and women. This article draws on Bacchi’s ‘what is the problem represented to be’ (WPR) approach to policy analysis, to explore responses of primary care organisations in England to legislation requiring public sector organisations to tackle gender discrimination and promote equality of opportunity between men and women. The article adopts a critical discourse approach to gender equality documents and suggests that such texts construct women and men as essentially different, reinforcing specific forms of masculinity and male performance and notions of male disadvantage in health systems.

Can Network Analysis Capture Connections across Medical Sects? An Examination of Allopathic and Alternative Disability Research in Twentieth-Century Europe and the US

My research project concerns the international dissemination of a medical network rooted in 1920s Austria.My aim at the outset was to use social network analysis to do a bibliometric or citation analysis to determine the degree to which the network remained intact intellectually after its geographic dispersal.Publications can be a useful way to gauge connections within a network (or the very existence of one) because they are a record of communication between scholars.We can study the way ideas circulate among a group of authors by analyzing the platforms, in the form of journals and presses, that they used to communicate their work.My network is, however, somewhat unusual.I am working on alternative medicine and asking network analysis to do different tasks than those that traditional citation network analysis has accomplished.I hope network analysis can help me see the degree of isolation from the allopathic mainstream that alternative practitioners operated in.I ask whether my data show the boundaries between sects to be as clearly defined as we usually assume them to be, or whether networks of ideas and research trends transcended sectarian boundaries.In the process, I engage an ongoing discussion about the advantages and pitfalls we as researchers encounter when we reduce the complexity of humanistic research in order to produce | 59
