    Social trauma and the mu-opioid system in depression

    No full text
    The overarching thesis under investigation is that the endogenous opioid system plays a key role in depression subsequent to traumatic childhood social experiences. This is suggested by the fact that animal work indicates that mu-opioids robustly mediate separation-distress, and that early social stressors lead to long term dysregulation in key related circuitries and neuroanatomical structures

    The relationship between co-authorship, currency of references and author self-citations

    No full text
    This paper attempts to identify the relationship between co-authorship and the currency of the references and author self-citations in the key journals of environmental engineering. The results show that the self-citation rate of co-authored articles is higher than in single-authored articles. A statistically significant correlation is identified between the numbers of co-authors, the rate of author self-citing and the author self-cited; though it was a low correlation. The value of coefficient correlation between the number of co-authors and the author self-citing rate is slightly higher than that between the number of co-authors and the author self-cited rate, which indicates that the number of co-authors hold a stronger correlation with the self-citing rate than the self-cited rate. Meanwhile, self-citing references are found to be more up-to-date than references to others. The range of publication years of self-citing references is smaller than that of references to others, indicating that researchers tend to preferentially cite their own recent works. There is no significant difference in the latest references between self-citing references and the references to others. It might result from electronic journals that provide an easy access to the most current publications.補正完畢國外SSCIY紙本電子版HU

    Phase Diagram at Finite Chemical Potentials in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Model

    No full text
    We study the phase diagram of two flavor dense QCD at finite isospin and baryon chemical potentials in the framework of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The system undergoes a crossover from a Bose-Einstein condensate of charged pions to a BCS superfluid with condensed quark-antiquark Cooper pairs when mu(I) increases at mu(B) = 0, and a nonzero baryon chemical potential serves as a mismatch between the pairing species. We observe a gapless pion condensation phase near the quadruple point (mu(I), mu(B)) = (m(pi), M-N-1.5m(pi)) where m(pi), M-N are the vacuum masses of pions and nucleons, respectively. At very large isospin chemical potential, mu(I) > 6.36m(pi), an inhomogeneous LOFF superfluid phase appears in a window of mu(B). Between the gapless and the LOFF phases, the pion superfluid phase and the normal quark matter phase are connected by a first order phase transition.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000302957500023&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Physics, Atomic, Molecular & ChemicalCPCI-S(ISTP)

    Personality and attention bias in adults with a history of childhood trauma, and attenuating effects of mu-opioid agonist buprenorphine on attention bias

    No full text
    The current study compared personality characteristics and cognitive functioning (specifically, attentional bias) in a sample of adults who had experienced childhood trauma (the Trauma group) and a matched healthy control group. The study also examined the possible effects of the mu-opioid agonist buprenorphine on attentional bias in the Trauma group

    Mu-Beta event-related (de)synchronization and EEG classification of left-right foot dorsiflexion kinaesthetic motor imagery for BCI

The left and right foot representation area is located within the interhemispheric fissure of the sensorimotor cortex and share spatial proximity. This makes it difficult to visualize the cortical lateralization of event-related (de)synchronization (ERD/ERS) during left and right foot motor imageries. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of using ERD/ERS in the mu, low beta, and high beta bandwidth, during left and right foot dorsiflexion kinaesthetic motor imageries (KMI), as unilateral control commands for a brain-computer interface (BCI). EEG was recorded from nine healthy participants during cue-based left-right foot dorsiflexion KMI tasks. The features were analysed for common average and bipolar references. With each reference, mu and beta band-power features were analysed using time-frequency (TF) maps, scalp topographies, and average time course for ERD/ERS. The cortical lateralization of ERD/ERS, during left and right foot KMI, was confirmed. Statistically significant features were classified using LDA, SVM, and KNN model, and evaluated using the area under ROC curves. An increase in high beta power following the end of KMI for both tasks was recorded, from right and left hemispheres, respectively, at the vertex. The single trial analysis and classification models resulted in high discrimination accuracies, i.e. maximum 83.4% for beta ERS, 79.1% for beta ERD, and 74.0% for mu ERD. With each model the features performed above the statistical chance level of 2-class discrimination for a BCI. Our findings indicate these features can evoke left-right differences in single EEG trials. This suggests that any BCI employing unilateral foot KMI can attain classification accuracy suitable for pra

    First observation of the rare decay K+μ+νμμ+μK^{+}\rightarrow\mu^{+}\nu_\mu\mu^{+}\mu^{-} at the NA62 experiment

    The first observation of the rare decay K+μ+νμμ+μK^{+}\rightarrow\mu^{+}\nu_\mu\mu^{+}\mu^{-} using data collected by the NA62 Experiment in 2017 and 2018 is presented in this thesis. The K+μ+νμμ+μK^{+}\rightarrow\mu^{+}\nu_\mu\mu^{+}\mu^{-} branching ratio is measured using the K+π+μ+μK^+\rightarrow\pi^+\mu^+\mu^- process as a normalisation channel. The number of observed data candidates is 18321832, with a background contamination of 168±9168\pm9. The analysis yields B(K+μ+νμμ+μ)=(1.307±0.034Stat±0.025Syst±0.012Ext)×108\mathfrak{B}(K^{+}\rightarrow\mu^{+}\nu_\mu\mu^{+}\mu^{-}) = (1.307 \pm 0.034_{\mathrm{Stat}} \pm 0.025_{\mathrm{Syst}} \pm 0.012_{\mathrm{Ext}})\times 10^{-8}, including a complete treatment of relevant systematic effects. The complete software package for the ANTI-0 detector, added to the NA62 setup in 2021, was developed by the author within the NA62 software framework and is described in detail. The software tools allowing for short and long-term verification of ANTI-0 data quality are presented, with their output used to summarise the commissioning and performance of the detector in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 NA62 data-taking campaigns

    Probing the effect of author self-citations on h index: A case study of environmental engineering

    No full text
    This study evaluates the impact of author self-citations on h index by exploring 583 authors whose works appear in key periodicals in environmental engineering. The findings show that authors’ h values have high correlation with authors’ article number, total cited count, and their rankings. There is also a high correlation with h index values and rankings of h values. The study indicates that selfcitations have little impact on the values of h index and the h index rankings, whether or not articles with authors’ self-citation are included. Further investigations reveal that, for authors with high values in h index, the two h index values are both highly correlated and with significant difference either with self-citations or without. A similar pattern is seen in authors with low h values. The results suggest that there is no need to deliberately exclude self-citations in analysing or evaluating research performance in environmental engineering.國外SSCIY電子版紙本GB
