Red shift of lead-free halide perovskite RbCaCl3 under pressure for enhancing optoelectronic performance
Authors: Saiduzzaman Md , Hossain Khandaker Monower , Asif Tariqul Islam , Mitro S K , Ahmad Sohail 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This study focuses on the exploration of pressure effects on the structural, electronic, optical, and mechanical properties of a cubic halide perovskite RbCaCl3 using density functional theory. The calculated values of lattice constant and unit cell volume at zero pressure are justified by the previous experimental and theoretical studies. As pressure is applied both the lattice constant and unit cell volume decrease steadily because of bond length reduction inside the material. The indirect band gap nature of the studied perovskite transforms into direct under applied pressure of 40 GPa and more. Moreover, the band gap value significantly reduces under pressure effect from ultraviolet to visible energy region. Though the bonding nature of both Rb−Cl and Ca−Cl is initially ionic, the induced pressure slightly reduces the ionicity of Rb−Cl and makes the Ca−Cl bond covalent. The optical absorption reveals a red shift in the visible energy region advantageous for using RbCaCl3 in solar cell applications. In addition, the overall optical analysis reveals that the pressure-induced compound is more suitable for optoelectronic device applications than that of zero pressure system. The external hydrostatic pressure significantly affects the mechanical properties of titled compound, making it more ductile and anisotropic.
Observational constraints on interacting vacuum energy with linear interactions
Authors: Kaeonikhom Chakkrit , Assadullahi Hooshyar , Schewtschenko Jascha , Wands David 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
We explore the bounds that can be placed on interactions between cold dark matter and vacuum energy, with equation of state w = -1, using state-of-the-art cosmological observations. We consider linear perturbations about a simple background model where the energy transfer per Hubble time, Q/H, is a general linear function of the dark matter density, ρc
, and vacuum energy, V.
We explain the parameter degeneracies found when fitting cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies alone, and show how these are broken by the addition of supernovae data, baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and redshift-space distortions (RSD). In particular, care must be taken when relating redshift-space distortions to the growth of structure in the presence of non-zero energy transfer. Interactions in the dark sector can alleviate the tensions between low-redshift measurements of the Hubble parameter, H0
, or weak-lensing, S8
, and the values inferred from CMB data. However these tensions return when we include constraints from supernova and BAO-RSD datasets. In the general linear interaction model we show that, while it is possible to relax both the Hubble and weak-lensing tensions simultaneously, the reduction in these tensions is modest (reduced to less slightly than 4σ and 2σ respectively).

Abstract
We have developed a γ-ray computed tomography system using a CdTe double-sided strip detector. Owing to a 250 μm fine strip pitch and high energy resolution with photon-counting capability, the system provides highly accurate images, with which the materials and their distributions inside the target can be determined according to the photon transmittances. We evaluated the key performance of the system, conducting transmission measurements for Al, Cu, and Pb plates and also for Al, Fe, Cu, and Pb rod-phantoms, both using X-rays (∼30 keV) and γ-rays (∼80 keV) from a 133Ba source. The measured transmittances agreed well with the calculated values from simulations. We successfully reconstructed the three-dimensional structure of the rod-phantom and distinguished the elements inside the phantom. Compared with the simulated photon transmittances, we found that material identification based on tomographic images obtained with the system is efficient as long as the target object does not contain thick high-Z elements.
Automatic energy calibration of radiation portal monitors using deep learning and spectral remapping
Authors: Jeon Byoungil , Park Jaeheong , Park Kyutae , Lee Joohyun , Moon Myungkook 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Radiation portal monitors comprising large-volume plastic
scintillators are commonly used to monitor the smuggling of
radioactive materials. Various applications have been proposed to
perform radioisotope identification using these monitors. Such
applications require calibration of the spectrum measured by the
detector to obtain the physical energy spectrum. The relationship
between the multichannel readout and energy bins depends on
environmental conditions: it implies that energy calibration in
radiation portal monitors should be performed periodically, even
multiple times in a single day, thus demanding for a simple and fast
energy calibration method. In this study, a deep learning model and
a spectral remapping method were used to transform the raw detector
output into an energy spectrum with constant energy bins. The deep
learning model was designed to predict energy calibration parameters
based on the channel spectrum of a single radioisotope. The dataset
used to train the deep learning model was generated using the
spectrum of the radiation portal monitor. A convolutional neural
network model was utilized to evaluate the performance. The
remapping method was designed to remap calibrated energy bins to
fixed energy bins based on the linear interpolation of nearby
bins. The performance of the neural network model and of the
remapping method were then evaluated based on several measured
spectra taken with different conditions, and found to be adequate to
fulfill the requirements.
A clinical feasible stem cell encapsulation ensures an improved wound healing

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Cell encapsulation has proven to be promising in stem cell therapy. However, there are issues needed to be addressed, including unsatisfied yield, unmet clinically friendly formulation, and unacceptable viability of stem cells after cryopreservation and thawing. We developed a novel biosynsphere technology to encapsulate stem cells in clinically-ready biomaterials with controlled microsphere size. We demonstrated that biosynspheres ensure the bioviability and functionality of adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) encapsulated, as delineated by a series of testing procedures. We further demonstrated that biosynspheres protect ADSCs from the hardness of clinically handling such as cryopreservation, thawing, high-speed centrifugation and syringe/nozzle injection. In a swine full skin defect model, we showed that biosynspheres were integrated to the destined tissues and promoted the repair of injured tissues with an accelerating healing process, less scar tissue formation and normalized deposition of collagen type I and type III, the ratio similar to that found in normal skin. These findings underscore the potential of biosynsphere as an improved biofabrication technology for tissue regeneration in clinical setting.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Arctic hydrology is experiencing rapid changes including earlier snow melt, permafrost degradation, increasing active layer depth, and reduced river ice, all of which are expected to lead to changes in stream flow regimes. Recently, long-term (>60 years) climate reanalysis and river discharge observation data have become available. We utilized these data to assess long-term changes in discharge and their hydroclimatic drivers. River discharge during the cold season (October–April) increased by 10% per decade. The most widespread discharge increase occurred in April (15% per decade), the month of ice break-up for the majority of basins. In October, when river ice formation generally begins, average monthly discharge increased by 7% per decade. Long-term air temperature increases in October and April increased the number of days above freezing (+1.1 d per decade) resulting in increased snow ablation (20% per decade) and decreased snow water equivalent (−12% per decade). Compared to the historical period (1960–1989), mean April and October air temperature in the recent period (1990–2019) have greater correlation with monthly discharge from 0.33 to 0.68 and 0.0–0.48, respectively. This indicates that the recent increases in air temperature are directly related to these discharge changes. Ubiquitous increases in cold and shoulder-season discharge demonstrate the scale at which hydrologic and biogeochemical fluxes are being altered in the Arctic.
Localization of two dimensional quantum walks defined by generalized Grover coins
Authors: Mandal Amrita , Sarma Sarkar Rohit , Adhikari Bibhas 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Localization phenomena of quantum walks makes the propagation dynamics of a walker strikingly different from that corresponding to classical random walks. In this paper, we study the localization phenomena of four-state discrete-time quantum walks on two-dimensional lattices with coin operators as one-parameter orthogonal matrices that are also permutative, a combinatorial structure of the Grover matrix. We show that the proposed walks localize at its initial position for canonical initial coin states when the coin belongs to classes which contain the Grover matrix that we consider in this paper, however, the localization phenomena depends on the coin parameter when the class of parametric coins does not contain the Grover matrix.
Study of the photovoltaic properties of Cs and Cl co-doped FAPbI3 based on first principles

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Formamidine lead iodide perovskite (FAPbI3) is often used as a light-absorbing layer in solar cells to alleviate the energy crisis because of its good photovoltaic properties. However, its lack of stability is also an obstacle to the current development. It has been found that doping with different kinds of elements at different sites can enhance its stability and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells. In this study, the geometry, electronic structure, and optical properties of FA1−xCsxPbI3−yCly were calculated using Cs and Cl co-doped with FAPbI3 using first principles. The analysis revealed that the Goldschmidt factors of the doped system were between 0.962 and 0.974, indicating that the systems could maintain a stable perovskite structure and that the doped system had lower energy and a more stable structure. By calculating the energy bands, it was found that the doped ions have a more pronounced effect on the increase in the dispersion at the bottom of the conduction band than on the decrease in the dispersion at the top of the valence band of the system, and the reduction of the effective mass of carriers is more favorable for transport. As for the optical properties, the right amount of doping is favorable for the improvement of light absorption, whereas excess doping shortens the light absorption range and weakens the light absorption effect, in which FA0.875Cs0.125PbI2.958Cl0.125 has the largest light absorption coefficient. It is shown that the photoelectric properties of FAPbI3 can be effectively modulated by the co-doping with Cs and Cl, which can provide a theoretical reference for the precise preparation of more efficient solar cells.
Preprint Highlight: The mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo mediates Rho activation and actin stress fibre formation in Drosophila nephrocytes
Authors: Landino Jennifer 
Published: January 2023

Kidney epithelial cells operate under high mechanical stress and require biochemical responses to maintain proper morphology and function. This study investigates how the mechanosensitive channel Piezo contributes to mechanotransduction in Drosophila melanogaster nephrocytes. This work shows that Piezo regulates intracellular Ca++ levels in response to shear stress, which leads to increased Rho1 GTPase activity and downstream actin remodeling. Piezo overexpression impairs the acute response to shear stress, a phenotype that is rescued by the inhibition of mechanosensitive channels. The authors describe a new mechanical signaling pathway that drives cytoskeletal remodeling in response to shear stress in the fly renal system. They link their findings to human gene expression data from patient populations showing that Piezo2 is up-regulated in multiple disease states, connecting the molecular signaling to physiological outcomes.

Trichotillomania: Workbook
Authors: Twohig Michael P. , Woods Douglas 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Trichotillomania: An ACT-enhanced Behavior Therapy Approach Workbook presents a 10-session therapist-guided workbook on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Enhanced Behavior Therapy for Trichotillomania (AEBT-T). The design of AEBT-T aims to help people with their trichotillomania (TTM) by thinking differently about triggers and learning to live a valued life. Moreover, the approach balances traditional behavior therapy approaches of habit reversal training and stimulus control techniques with a contemporary ACT-based approach. The ACT-based approach teaches clients to behave flexibly in accordance with their values despite uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, urges, and cravings triggered by hair-pulling. The workbook also reflects new research with an easy-to-use session-by-session guideline accompanied by therapy support forms and materials. AEBT-T has proven its efficacy as a valuable resource and powerful tool for clients to manage their TTM and hair-pulling habits.
Trichotillomania: Therapist Guide
Authors: Twohig Michael P. , Woods Douglas 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This book focuses on trichotillomania, a complex disorder that is difficult to treat and for which there are few effective therapeutic options. It provides a 10-session program designed to teach therapists how to help clients reduce their pulling, think differently about the internal experiences that trigger pulling, and learn to live a more valued life. It also promotes an approach that blends traditional behavior therapy approaches of habit reversal training and stimulus control techniques with a more contemporary approach based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Patients are encouraged to behave flexibly and in concert with their values whenever they face the uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, urges, and cravings that often trigger the pulling. Emerging evidence suggests the treatment can be successfully applied to older children and adolescents and describes how the treatment can be modified for these populations.
Interacting dark energy from the joint analysis of the power spectrum and bispectrum multipoles with the EFTofLSS
Authors: Tsedrik Maria , Moretti Chiara , Carrilho Pedro , Rizzo Federico , Pourtsidou Alkistis 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT
Interacting dark energy models have been suggested as alternatives to the standard cosmological model, ΛCDM. We focus on a phenomenologically interesting class of dark scattering models that is characterized by pure momentum exchange between dark energy and dark matter. This model extends the parameter space with respect to ΛCDM by two parameters, w and A, which define the dark energy equation of state and the strength of the coupling between dark energy and dark matter, respectively. In order to test non-standard cosmologies with Stage-IV galaxy clustering surveys, it is crucial to model mildly non-linear scales and perform precision versus accuracy tests. We use the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure; and we perform validation tests by means of an MCMC analysis using a large set of N-body simulations. We find that adding the bispectrum monopole to the power spectrum multipoles improves the constraints on the dark energy parameters by $\sim 30 {{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ for $k_{\mathrm{max}, B}^{l=0} = 0.11$ h Mpc−1, without introducing biases in the parameter estimation. We also find that the same improvement can be achieved with more moderate scale cuts and the use of bias relations, or with the addition of the bispectrum quadrupole. Finally, we study degeneracies between the dark energy parameters and the scalar amplitude As and discuss the corresponding projection effects, as well as degeneracies with other cosmological parameters.
Vladimir Propp and Russian Wondertales
Authors: Forrester Sibelan 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Vladimir Propp (1895–1970) is almost certainly the most internationally famous Russian scholar of folklore. This chapter traces his biography, including important questions of scholarly freedom and ethics under and after Stalin, then outlines his publications with particular attention to three works that most concern the wondertales, aka fairy tales (Morphology of the Folktale, Historical Roots of the Wondertale, and The Russian Folktale), and the ways his formalist, structuralist, and semiotic insights continue to resonate in scholarship today. It concludes with a glance at the Afanas’ev collection of folk tales that Propp used and where those tales are today, with a final summary of Propp’s role in Russian and international folkloristics.
Vatican II and the Theology of Reception
Authors: Routhier Gilles 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The reception of the documents of Vatican II has been a subject of debate and ambiguity. As this chapter argues, any attempt to delineate a coherent theology of reception based on the documents of the council alone is fraught with problems. However, if examined closely, the documents of the council do provide an initial outline of a theory of reception. One must not look for specific words in the documents themselves but rather at how they point to specific realities in the Church, four of which are highlighted as being crucial to understanding how the documents of the council have been and are still being received in the Church: a theology of tradition, a theology of the local church, a consistent pneumatology, and a theology of cultures.
Moral Theology and the Paradigm Shift of Vatican II
Authors: Bretzke James T. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The governing thesis for this chapter on the reception of Vatican II in moral theology is that the Council itself is best viewed in terms of a major paradigm shift—along the lines of paradigm theory articulated by science historian Thomas Kuhn in his foundational work The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), as well as the seminal insights of Cardinal Avery Dulles, SJ, outlined in his Models of the Church (1974). The use of the Kuhn–Dulles approach to models and paradigms allows for a bridge between the clashing interpretations of post-conciliar reception as being either a ‘hermeneutics of rupture’ or a ‘hermeneutics of continuity’. The paradigm shift I hypothesize permits a both/and understanding of the hermeneutical question. This paradigm then is applied to the major developments and debates in moral theology following the close of the council, along with the historical context in which these developments took place.
Theologians, Theologies, Church
Authors: Noceti Serena 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Women are a central subject in the process of the reception of Vatican II. This chapter examines the factors and phases in the affirmation and recognition of women as full subjects in the post-conciliar Church through the lens of feminist theologies. Women’s appropriation of an authoritative, competent public voice is translated into visibility and strategic importance in theological discourses. In terms of a methodological framework and themes addressed, feminist theologies demonstrate their acceptance of the lesson of Vatican II while broadening its perspectives—in recognition of the specificity of human beings’ and believers’ sex and gender (dealt with in conciliar documents with universalizing and apparently neutral anthropological models)—and pointing out possible ways to further the necessary reform of ecclesial structures.
Reception of Vatican II in Asia
Authors: Kochuthara Shaji George 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Asian churches enthusiastically received Vatican II in all areas of their life. However, in certain areas, the reception of the council is more evident, including ecclesiology; dialogue with religions, cultures, and the poor; renewal of the Eastern churches; greater participation of the laity; and a renewed understanding of mission. Immediately after the council, Asian churches initiated a process of serious study and assimilation of its teaching. The Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) played a vital role in the reception of the council in Asia. The theology of the ‘local churches’ and the triple dialogue that the FABC underlines is key to understanding the Asian reception of Vatican II. The council’s Decree on the Catholic Churches of the Eastern Rite, Orientalium Ecclesiarum, also had a special influence on Asia.
The Methodist Reception of Vatican II
Authors: Carter David 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This chapter briefly surveys Methodist–Catholic relations before Vatican II. It then looks at developing Methodist reactions to the council through the lens of the Methodist observers, giving special attention to the reactions of Albert Outler, widely seen as the doyen of the observers. It refers to the complexity of post-conciliar reception of the council, taking particular account of the variety within world Methodism and the difficulty of distinguishing between developments specifically due to the council and those resulting from more general ecumenical influences. The chapter then looks at the reception of certain decrees, most notably the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church and the Decree on Ecumenism. It stresses the reception of the latter through the dialogues, the importance of which is outlined. It treats briefly other decrees, noting the consonance of certain Catholic and Methodist insights and emphases, and concludes with a summary of future prospects.
Reformed Reception of Vatican II
Authors: Norwood Donald W. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores the reception and influence of both the event of Second Vatican Council and its documents in the life of the Reformed churches and in their relationship with the Catholic Church. Some of the best qualified and most ecumenically committed Reformed theologians served as participant observers at the council, where they contributed in significant ways to the debates. They would testify that the experience of the council event itself was far more ecumenical than the printed documents. Most of their criticism of the various drafts and final texts was very positive and constructive, intended to aid the process of perpetual reform of which, the council admits, the Church always has need. Vatican II’s renewal of the liturgy, its ecclesiology, and its Decree on Ecumenism established a new context for Reformed–Catholic relations.
