A participatory action approach with potential users and clinical experts was employed to design and evaluate the acceptability of young person's Face IT (YP Face IT), an online intervention incorporating cognitive behavioural therapy and social skills training for adolescents with appearance-related anxiety as a result of a visible difference. Workshops with adolescents and clinicians informed...

Atlantic Water (AW), the main source of heat and salt for Arctic Ocean, undergoes large transformations (cooling freshening) north Svalbard as it flows near surface above Yermak Plateau (YP). In September 2017, a SeaExplorer ocean glider deployed in West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) recovered documented circulation properties AW crossing YP. The sampled different branches flowing into around YP: W...

[1]1̇1 document The Uncertainty in Newton’s Constant and Precision Predictions of the Primordial Helium Abundance Robert J. Scherrer Department of Physics and Astronomy, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37235 abstract The current uncertainty in Newton’s constant, GN , is of the order of 0.15%. For values of the baryon to photon ratio consistent with both cosmic microwave background observati...

We investigate the effects of matter-enhanced (MSW) transformation of neutrinos in the Early Universe on the primordial helium yield (Yp). We find that Yp is affected much more by the MSWinduced alterations in the neutrino energy spectra than by the associated change in expansion rate. Specifically, the absence due to transformation of low energy electron neutrinos can significantly affect neut...

The effects of culture conditions and chloramphenicol treatment on the induction of the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas spongiae to larval settlement of Hydroides elegans were investigated. The results showed that P. spongiae cells grown in the medium containing both yeast extract and peptone (YP-grown P. spongiae) was highly inductive to larval settlement, whereas P. spongiae cells grown in...

To be able quickly find exact matches BLAST uses strategy of dot plots. Dot Plot is a table whose rows and columns are marked using sequences letters.For example: Identify internal repeats and inversions C A T D O G C A T G O D C * * A * * T * * D * * O * * G * * C * * A * * T * * G * * O * * D * * This dot plot allows us quickly identify internal repeats and inversions. Repeats are dot lines w...

In this work we address the problem of determining the asymptotic spectral measure of the product of independent, Gaussian random matrices with correlated entries, as the dimension and the number of multiplicative terms goes to infinity. More specifically, let {X p(N)}p=1 be a sequence of N × N independent random matrices with independent and identically distributed Gaussian entries of zero mea...

BACKGROUND Flare-ups in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are characterized by joint pain and swelling and often accompanied with fatigue, negative emotions, and reduced participation in activities. To minimize the impact of JIA on the physical and psychosocial development and well-being of young people (YP), it is essential to regularly monitor disease activity and side effects, as well as t...

A recurrence plot is a visualization tool for analyzing experimental data. These plots often reveal correlations in the data that are not easily detected in the original time series. Existing recurrence plot analysis techniques, which are primarily application oriented and completely quantitative, require that the time-series data first be embedded in a high-dimensional space, where the embeddi...

Paraburkholderia sacchari revealed an outstanding ability to metabolize D-xylose xylonic acid. The work described here aimed at finding the operational conditions promote production of acid in bioreactors. Fed-batch assays using xylose as sole substrate for growth and attained a concentration 150 g L−1, corresponding productivity 1.5 L−1 h−1 yield over (YP/S) 0.63 XylAc/gXyl. When glucose were ...
