Non-equilibrium strongly-correlated quantum dynamics in photonic resonator arrays

Strong e↵ective photon-photon interactions mediated by atom-photon couplings have been routinely achievable in QED setups for some time now. Recently, there have been several proposals to push the physics of interacting photons into manybody distributed architectures. The essential idea is to coherently couple together arrays of QED resonators, such that photons can hop between resonators while interacting with each other inside each resonator. These proposed structures have attracted intense theoretical attention while simultaneously inspiring experimental e↵orts to realise this novel regime of strongly-correlated many-body states of light. A central challenge of both theoretical and practical importance is to understand the physics of such coupled resonator arrays (CRAs) beyond equilibrium, when unavoidable (or sometimes even desired) photon loss processes are accounted for. This thesis presents several studies whose purpose can roughly be divided in two aims. The first part studies just what constitutes a valid physical and computational representation of non-equilibrium driven-dissipative CRAs. Addressing these questions constitutes essential groundwork for further investigations of CRA phenomena, as numerical experiments are likely to guide and interpret near-future experimental array observations. The relatively small body of existing work on CRAs out of equilibrium has often truncated their full, rich physics. It is important to establish the e↵ects and validity of these approximations. To this end we introduce powerful numerical algorithms capable of e ciently simulating the full dynamics of CRAs, and use them to characterise the non-equilibrium steady states of arrays reached under the combined influence of dissipation and pumping. Having established the rigour necessary to realistically describe CRAs, we examine two novel phenomena observable in near-future small arrays. Firstly we relate a counter-intuitive ‘super bunching’ in the statistics of photons emitted from arrays engineered to demonstrate strong e↵ective photon-photon repulsion at the single and two-photon level, to an interplay between the underlying eigen-structure and details of the non-equilibrium operation. Secondly we characterise a dynamical phenomenon in which domains of ‘frozen’ photons remain trapped in su ciently nonlinear arrays. Finally we present a preliminary characterisation of a previously unexplored phase diagram of arrays under coherent two-photon pumping. Competition between the coherence injected by the pumping, photon interactions and delocalisation processes lead to interesting new physical signatures.
Methodology, Fake Learning, and Emotional Performativity. ECNU Review of Education.

Purpose: Academics are at the forefront of criticisms about so-called “fake news” considered to undermine evidence-based approaches to the understanding of complex social, political, and economic issues. However, universities contribute to the production of fake news through the legitimization of measures that promote student performativity rewarding their academic non-achievements. This conceptual article will seek to illustrate how this can occur via the writing of methodology chapters by postgraduate students. Design/Approach/Methods: This article provides a critical analysis of the writing of methodology chapters in dissertations and theses in postgraduate education in the social sciences. In so doing, it applies the concept of performativity to student learning. Findings: It is argued that the pressures on students to comply with the requirements of emotional performativity in respect to ideology and method in close-up, qualitative research can lead to fake learning. This phenomenon may be exemplified by reference to a number of practices, namely, phony positionality, methodolatry, ethical cleansing, participatory posturing, and symbolic citation. Originality/Value: This article provides an illustration of the concept of student performativity. It demonstrates that emotional performativity plays a significant role in the way in which students are required to comply with expectations that give rise to inauthenticity in learning.
Ion transport and regulation of respiratory tract ﬂuid output in dogs

T. , and Donovan B. Yeates. Ion transport and regulation of respiratory tract ﬂuid output in dogs. J Appl Physiol 90: 821–831, 2001. — To investigate the regulation of respiratory tract ﬂuid output (RTFO), we collected the RTFO in an anesthetized canine model after a series of pharmacological interventions (inhibition of Na 1 -K 1 -ATPase or Na 1 -K 1 -2Cl 2 cotransporter, 250 m l) and physiological challenges (ionic and/or osmotic perturbation in airway lumen, 250 m l). Whereas 250 m l of aerosolized 0.9% saline caused a transient increase in RTFO, a 250- m l bumetanide-induced increase in RTFO was evident for 18 min and a 250- m l acetylstrophanthidin-induced increase in RTFO per-sisted for at least 30 min. Dry air ventilation decreased the responses of RTFO to the saline (sham) and acetylstrophanthidin intervention but not the bumetanide intervention. Delivery of 250 mosmol/kgH 2 O ion-free mannitol (250 m l) caused marked increases in RTFO that were little affected by the administration of acetylstrophanthidin or bumetanide 30 min before these challenges. A 250- m l 550 mosmol/kgH 2 O ion-free mannitol challenge caused a more marked and prolonged increase in RTFO. Thus aerosol delivery of a low dose of a cardiac glycoside or a near-isosmotic, ion-free, impermeant osmolyte solution may be therapeutically useful by increasing the clearance of secretions from the tracheobronchial airways. or t -test. If the t -test failed in normality or variance test, the Mann-Whitney rank-sum test was used. For RTFO data, the P value was calculated using two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance. Bonferroni’s method was used for comparisons. Statistical signiﬁcance was con- sidered if the P value was , 0.05.
Micro/nanostructures formation by femtosecond laser surface Micro/nanostructures formation by femtosecond laser surface processing on amorphous and polycrystalline Ni60Nb40 processing on amorphous and polycrystalline Ni60Nb40

Femtosecond laser surface processing is a technology that can be used to functionalize many surfaces, imparting specialized properties such as increased broadband optical absorption or superhydrophilicity/superhydrophobicity. In this study, two unique classes of surface structures, below surface growth (BSG) and above surface growth (ASG) mounds, were formed by femtosecond laser surface processing on amorphous and polycrystalline Ni 60 Nb 40 with two different grain sizes. Cross sectional imaging of these mounds revealed thermal evidence of the unique formation processes for each class of surface structure. BSG mounds formed on all three substrates using the same laser parameters had similar surface morphology. The microstructures in the mounds were unaltered compared with the substrate before laser processing, suggesting their formation was dominated by preferential valley ablation. ASG mounds had similar morphology when formed on the polycrystalline Ni 60 Nb 40 substrates with 100 nm and 2 [H9262]m grain size. However, the ASG mounds had significantly wider diameter and higher peak-to-valley heights when the substrate was amorphous Ni 60 Nb 40 . Hydrodynamic melting was primarily responsible for ASG mound formation. On amorphous Ni 60 Nb 40 substrates, the ASG mounds are most likely larger due to lower thermal diffusivity. There was clear difference in growth mechanism of femtosecond laser processed BSG and ASG mounds, and grain size does not appear to be a factor. microstructures of these mounds were revealed. Grain size, at least in the range examined by this study, was not a factor in BSG or ASG mound morphology. BSG mounds formed on amorphous and polycrystalline Ni 60 Nb 40 have indistinguishable morphology, and are hypothesized to grow primarily by ablation, as indicated by the lack of changes in the mound microstructure relative to the base substrate material. On the other hand, an amorphous region was found to be present on the top of ASG mounds, indicating there was sufficient heating at the higher laser fluence for melting and subsequent fluid flow of the base material. Lastly, ASG mounds formed on amorphous substrates were significantly taller and with larger peak-to-peak distances than those on either polycrystalline surfaces. We attribute this to lower thermal diffusivity of amorphous versus polycrystalline Ni 60 Nb 40 . The cross-sectional microstructural analysis supported the previously proposed formation mechanisms for femtosecond laser surface processed mound-like structures on metals: preferential valley ablation for BSG mounds and fluid flow along with preferential valley ablation for ASG mounds.
L IMITLESS P ERSONALIZATION : T HE R OLE OF B IG D ATA IN U NVEILING S ERVICE O PPORTUNITIES

The relevance of services is increasing in the world economy, and digital technologies are boosting this process. At the same time, customers are becoming used to receiving services that are closer to their needs and expectations, and Big Data seems to play a key role in the evolution of services. This research aims to link these two trends by studying how Big Data is re-shaping service classification, thereby impacting the variables that have been used over the years to describe and classify services. This paper studies this emerging kind of services through twelve illustrative case studies based on theoretical sampling, under two variables: the extent of customer contact and the degree of customer participation and involvement. The research offers a classification of these services, discussing them under the lenses of previous models in the service field.
ASSESSMENT OF PREVALENCE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS OF POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION AMONG POSTPARTUM MOTHERS IN EASTERN ZONE OF TIGRAY

Background: postpartum depression is a clinical condition, in which women experience depressed mood, excessive anxiety, insomnia, and change in weight during the postpartum period. It affects up to 30 % of mothers who gave birth, which result in raised load of care givers, inability of mothers to care their child, incapability of children to learn new things and has an effect on over all development of a country. This study therefore is intended to determine the prevalence of postpartum depression and identifying its associated factors among mothers who gave birth in Eastern Zone of Tigray. Method: Sample size is 633 mothers. The study was done by using a multistage sampling technique. Result: Out of 633 mothers 616 were involved in the study of which 117(19%) were experienced postpartum depression. Fear of birth 3.689 (2.351, 5.790), the appearance of depressive like symptom in the first two weeks 2.728(1.737, 4.284) and having previous history of depression 5.94(2.944, 11.963) were found to be significantly associated with post partum depression. Conclusion: The current study point out that significant proportion of mothers (19%) who gave birth in eastern Tigray demonstrated depression during post partum period. Relatively, this indicates how high the prevalence of postpartum depression is. Being in fear of bearing a child, demonstrating depression like symptoms during the first two weeks of postpartum period and having previous history of depression are found to be strongly associated with post partum depression.
AMELIORATIVE EFFECTS OF CURCUMIN ON BETAMETHAZONE –INDUCED MATERNAL AND FETAL NEPHROTOXICITY IN RATS

This study aimed to evaluate the possible adverse effects of the corticosteroid drug betamethazone on the kidney of both mother rats and their fetuses during gestation. Another aim was to ameliorate these possible adverse effects using one of the natural antioxidant namely, curcumin. Four integrated approaches namely, histological, histo-morphometric, ultrastructural and molecular were adopted. Histological examination of the kidney of the drug administered mothers showed atrophic glomeruli with widened capsular spaces of the renal corpuscles. Many proximal and distal convoluted tubules had dilated lumen with debris of hyaline casts and the lining epithelium had vacuolated cytoplasm. The renal cortex of maternally treated fetuses showed severe degeneration of glomeruli along with disrupted proximal and distal convoluted tubules. The epithelial cells lining the convoluted tubules showed cytoplasmic vacuolation and hemorrhage. Electron microscopic examination of the kidney of the mothers and their fetuses injected with betamethazone revealed conspicuous alterations, represented by thickening of the capillary basement membrane. Most of the foot process of podocytes appeared irregular with complete disappearance of their membranes. The lining cells of the convoluted tubules had degenerative changes and displayed partial destruction of the microvilli of the apical brush borders. Administration of betamethazone induced variations in the expressed protein and DNA fragmentation in the kidney tissue of both mothers and their fetuses. Administration of curcumin after betamethazone caused improvement in many adverse changes in the kidney of both mothers and their fetuses.
SOME BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF PNEUMOCOCCUS TYPE 37 AND T H E CHEMISTRY OF ITS CAPSULAR POLYSACCHARIDE* BY JUDITH C. KNECHT,, PH.D.,

Pneumococcus Type 37 was isolated initially in 1934 and published descriptions of it appeared in 1940 (1) and 1941 (2). The former report cited the striking resemblance of the newly recognized type to pneumococcus Type 3 in that both produce very large capsules and give rise to large mucoid colonies on the surface of solid media. In contrast to the highly virulent Type 3, however, Type 37 was only slightly virulent for mice. The first American account of pneumococcus Type 37 (2) was in essential agreement with that from Denmark. The organism was found with a frequency of 0.6% among 2,591 pneumococcal isolates recovered in 1940. Of 23 strains tested for virulence in mice, 1 was described as avirulent, 21 as slightly virulent, and 1 as moderately virulent. One fatal infection in man was recorded. More recently, in the Clinical Research Laboratory at the Philadelphia General Hospital, two strains of pneumococcus Type 37 have been recovered among 1,620 pneumococcal isolates over a period of 4 yr. Both strains were derived from cultures of sputum and both were thought initially to be strains of Type 3 from the appearance of their large mucoid colonies. Both strains were found in 1964, and no additional ones have been recovered subsequently. Among 1572 bacteremic pneumococcal infections occurring during the past 3 yr in hospitals in 10 American cities, only one strain of pneumococcus Type 37 has been identified, that in the blood of a patient in Chicago. These observations indicate that, although pneumococcus Type 37 resembles pneumococcus Type 3 in several ways, it differs from the latter by virtue of its infrequent recovery from man and its very low virulence. I t has been held that the virulence of pneumococcus Type 3 results in part from its production of a large capsule (3) and it has been shown that its capsule strikingly inhibits phagocytosis in the absence of antibody (4).

(2015). Exploring consumer adoption of proximity mobile payments. Journal of Strategic Marketing , 23 (3), 209-223.

The widespread penetration of proximity mobile payment systems could drastically change the methods in which consumers purchase goods and services. However, earlier forecasts of the success of these systems have been substantially reduced due to lower than anticipated uptake of the supporting Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. This study explores the potential of a new model of consumer technology adoption, and its extension with trust and risk constructs, in explaining non-users’ adoption of proximity mobile payments. Analysis of data collected from 244 UK consumers reveals that the extended model explains more variance in behavioural intention, but performance expectancy remains the strongest predictor across both models. The findings provide new and important theoretical and practical contributions, particularly for strategic development and marketing of proximity mobile payments in the UK.
Study on intrinsic innervations and microvasculature of pancreas of albino rat

The pancreas of rat consisted of several nerve fibres both in the exocrine and the endocrine parts. The pancreatic nerve plexus were of four types viz., periacinar plexus, periinsular plexus, perivascular plexus and periductal plexus. Many neurons were observed as isolated cells and they aggregated to form small and large ganglia. The lymph vessels were present in the interlobular and intralobular connective tissue septa in the exocrine part of pancreas of rat. But, the endocrine portion was devoid of lymph vessels.
Running Head: DIFFERENCES IN VISION FOR PERCEPTION AND ACTION Examination of gaze behaviors under in situ and video simulation task constraints reveals differences in information pickup for perception and action

Gaze and movement behaviors of association football goalkeepers were compared under two video simulation conditions (i.e., verbal and joystick movement responses) and three in situ conditions (i.e., verbal, simplified body movement and interceptive response). Results showed that goalkeepers spent more time fixating upon information from the penalty taker‟s movements in comparison to ball location for all perceptual judgment conditions involving limited movement (i.e., verbal responses, joystick movement and simplified body movement). In contrast, an equivalent amount of time was spent fixating the penalty taker‟s relative motions and the ball location for the in situ interception condition which required goalkeepers to attempt to make penalty saves. Data suggest that gaze and movement behaviors function differently depending upon the experimental task constraints selected for empirical investigations. These findings highlight the need for research on perceptual-motor behaviors to be conducted in representative experimental conditions to allow appropriate generalization of conclusions to performance environments. Examination of gaze behaviors under in situ and video simulation task constraints reveals differences in the information used for perception and action
Effect of Hyperthermia (45Â°C)on Calcium Flux in Chinese Hamster Ovary HA-1 Fibroblasts and Its Potential Role in Cytotoxicity and Heat Resistance1

Hyperthermia caused a major increase in uptake of ^Ca2* into Chinese hamster ovary HA-1 cells. Increased permeability to <a ' was observed with heating periods as brief as 45Â°Cfor 4 min and reached a maximum at 45Â°Cfor 30 min. In addition to elevation of ( ';r ' influx, heat induced an increase in JVa;* exchange with the extracellular CaJ* pool. The effect of heat on Ca2*permeability was transient, and Ca2+influx returned to normal values by approximately 9 h at 37Â°C.Comparison of the time courses of increased <;r* permeability and cell inactivation at 4SÂ°C indicated that the heating time required for maximum permeability to Ca2* was similar to the initial resistant "shoulder" period of the cell survival curve. This suggests that Ca2* could play a permissive role in thermal cell Â¡nactivation;efficient cell killing may require a threshold concentration of intracellular (a '*.The kinetics of beat-induced increase in Ca2* permeability also resembled that for the induction of thermotol- erance. This might suggest a messenger role for ( a'+ in thermotolerance induction. Direct increase in cellular <a'* levels with Ca2* ionophore A23187 (5 x III"" M) led to subsequent heat resistance. However, the heat resistance produced by A23187 was of a lesser magnitude than heat-induced thermotolerance. In addition, A23187 did not induce the stress protein species characteristic of thermotolerance (heat shock proteins), but instead led to the synthesis of a related set of proteins (glucose-regulated proteins). The data thus suggest a role for (a'* in the cellular effects of hyperthermia. They are also of potential clinical relevance in that cellular responses to heat might be modified pharmacologically, by the judicious use of Ca2*active agents, such as <a'* ionophores and channel blockers.
Conduction Behavior of SrBi2Ta2O9 Thin Film Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition

SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films with different Sr and Bi concentrations were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by the pulsed laser deposition technique. The structural feature and surface morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction and SEM studies. The ferroelectricity was confirmed by polarization–electric field (P–E) hysteresis loops. The measured value of remanent polarization (2Pr) of Bi-excess SBT film was 14.3 µC/cm2 with a coercive field (2Ec) of 101 kV/cm at the applied voltage of 4 V. The dielectric constant and the ac conductivity of the Pt/SBT/Pt capacitor were investigated in the frequency range of 0.1 Hz–100 kHz and the temperature range of 25°C–400°C. From the slope of ac conductivity vs. 1/T plot, the activation energy was calculated to be 0.86 eV at the lowest frequency and high temperature range. Also electrical properties were investigated by current–voltage (I–V) measurements as a function of applied electric fields. To determine the influence of Sr and Bi concentrations on the SBT/Pt junction, the ferroelectric properties and conduction behavior of SBT thin films are discussed.
Impact of Selected Insolvency Indicators on the Recoveries of Creditors’ Claims Against Closed Banks in the Philippine Context

Banks play a pivotal role in an emerging economy. They mirror the country’s political and economic status. The more savings deposited in banks would mean the availability of cash provided to users of funds. On the other hand, their closure affects the creditors. The goals of the study include the minimization of losses imposed on creditors and the expeditious recoveries of their claims against the closed banks’ assets. The study proved on the four significant impacts of selected insolvency indicators on the recoveries of creditors’ claims against the assets of closed banks under the Philippine context from 1961 to 2011. The study uses various methods such as Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient to establish the strength of association of the independent variable to the dependent variable and time series technique (moving average and trend forecasting) in order to observe the pattern of data over a known period of time. Using the regression analysis, the researchers were able to establish a regression model. The ANOVA test, f -test, and R 2 -test were used to prove the model’s goodness-of-fit, the significance of the predictors, and verification of the assumption of regression hold. Empirical evidence reveals that capital to estimated realizable value of assets ratio (ERVA) and debt to assets ratio (with respect to ERVA) were significant predictors of recovery. Further, the presence of high leverage on banks indicates that their liabilities exceed the value of their realizable assets. Thus, these banks fail to meet their maturing obligations, hence, imposing losses on the uninsured depositors and other creditors.
