Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: The COVINFORM project aims to assess the current government, public health, community, and citizen responses as well as the role of information and communication at all stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through analysing and evaluating the existing strategies, the influential practices, measures, and tools via a multidisciplinary and intersectional approach, the project aims to develop an online portal and toolkit for stakeholders in the governmental, public health, and civil society/community domains and provide promising practices especially related to vulnerable populations.

This report is part of work package 4 on Government responses and impact assessment. This work packages focuses on governmental structures and responses, by reviewing them on a national level among the project target countries, as well as on a regional/local level in selected sub-national research sites and case studies, performing in parallel an in-depth analysis of key dimensions of governmental response impact in the project target countries.

This deliverable reports on task 4.2 Conduct primary empirical research on governmental responses. The document’s main objective is to specify the research questions and methods of primary data collection and analysis to be utilised on the empirical research on governmental responses and the impacts these have on the target countries and to specific vulnerable populations. Specific ethical considerations will be also presented and assessed for the empirical research to take place.

After a short introduction of the aims and the objectives of the deliverable, the methodology is outlined. This includes a description of the aims and objectives of the research, as well as its purpose. A series of research questions have been defined to guide the research. The document further specifies the sampling criteria, and target population, as well as the specific qualitative methods utilised for the study (semi-structured interviews, focus groups). Finally the document defines the timeline for research activities, the foreseen research sites and responsible partners as well as all the ethical and legal considerations that must be taken into account.

description: We reexamine the process $γ\to e^++ e^-$ in a background magnetic field comparable to $B_c\equiv m_e^2/e$. This process is known to be non-perturbative in the magnetic-field strength. However, it can be shown that the {\it moments} of the above pair production width is proportional to the derivatives of photon polarization function at the zero energy, which is perturbative in $B$. Hence, the pair-production width can be easily obtained from the latter by the inverse Mellin transform. The implications of our approach are discussed.

description: If several interventions performed on a quantum system are localized in mutually space-like regions, they will be recorded as a sequence of ``quantum jumps'' in one Lorentz frame, and as a different sequence of jumps in another Lorentz frame. Conditions are specified that must be obeyed by the various operators involved in the calculations so that these two different sequences lead to the same observable results. These conditions are similar to the equal-time commutation relations in quantum field theory. They are sufficient to prevent superluminal signaling. (The derivation of these results does not require most of the contents of the preceding article. What is needed is briefly summarized here, so that the present article is essentially self-contained.)

description: We analyze 166 spheroid subdwarfs $(6.5 M >0.09 Msun. The spheroid therefore does not contribute significantly to microlensing unless the mass function changes slope dramatically in the substellar range. The total local mass density of spheroid stars (including remnants and unseen binary companions) is ρ~ 6.4E-5 Msun/pc^3, with an uncertainty of about 50%. The power-law indices α=0.25 for the spheroid and α=0.44 for the disk (both uncorrected for binaries) are similar to those of globular clusters of moderate to high metallicity.

The method is tested on previously established benchmark systems and it is proved to be efficient and accurate. The approach can also be efficiently used when the constraint is not a scalar quantity but a spatially varying function like the charge density distribution.

description: Selecting skilled mutual funds through the multiple testing framework has received increasing attention from finance researchers and statisticians. The intercept α of Carhart four-factor model is commonly used to measure the true performance of mutual funds, and positive α’s are considered as skilled. We observe that the standardized OLS estimates of α’s across the funds possess strong dependence and nonnormality structures, indicating that the conventional multiple testing methods are inadequate for selecting the skilled funds. We start from a decision theoretic perspective, and propose an optimal multiple testing procedure to minimize a combination of false discovery rate and false non-discovery rate. Our proposed testing procedure is constructed based on the probability of each fund not being skilled conditional on the information across all of the funds in our study. To model the distribution of the information used for the testing procedure, we consider a mixture model under dependence and propose a new method called “approximate empirical Bayes” to fit the parameters. Empirical studies show that our selected skilled funds have superior long-term and short-term performance, e.g., our selection strongly outperforms the S&P 500 index during the same period.

description: Polycaprolactone-poly (ethylene glycol) block copolymer (PCL-PEG) based nanoparticles were prepared for the intravenous administration of docetaxel (DTX). PCL-PEG-Tyr and PCL-PEG-Ang were synthesized by using tyrosine (Tyr) and angiopep-2 (Ang) as coupling ligands, and dual-modified PCL-PEG based nanoparticles (PCL-PEG-Tyr/Ang) were prepared. The physicochemical properties, in vitro drug release, in vitro cytotoxicity, in vitro cellular uptake efficiency, in vivo biodistribution and in vivo antitumor efficacy of PCL-PEG based nanoparticles were investigated. The PCL-PEG based nanoparticles were spherical with a mean diameter of 100 nm and high encapsulation efficiencies (> 85%). The results of in vitro drug release showed that the PCL-PEG based nanoparticles loaded with DTX had sustained-release characteristics. For in vitro cytotoxicity tests, the dual-modified PCL-PEG based nanoparticles (PCL-PEG-Tyr/Ang) demonstrated the minimum IC50 value (2.94 µg/mL) compared with other PCL-PEG based nanoparticles. In addition, the cellular uptake of coumarin-6 (C6) in HT29 cells was observed and determined in the PCL-PEG-Tyr/Ang nanoparticles group, which was significantly higher than that in the other PCL-PEG based groups and C6 solution group. The results of in vivo imaging showed that dual-modified PCL-PEG nanoparticles had better tumor targeting than the other PCL-PEG based nanoparticles. In the HT29 tumor-xenografted nude mice model, DTX-loaded PCL-PEG-Tyr/Ang nanoparticles also had a significantly higher inhibitory efficacy on tumor growth than Taxotere®-treated group. These results indicated that the dual-modified PCL-PEG based nanoparticles (PCL-PEG-Tyr/Ang) could be a promising anticancer drug delivery system.

description: The Königl inhomogeneous jet model is applied to investigate the properties of the jets in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). A sample of the AGNs is collected, in which the measurements of the angular size and radio flux density of the VLBI core, proper motion of the components in the jet, and X-ray flux density are included. The inhomogeneous jet parameters are derived with the same assumptions for all sources. A comparison among the parameters of different types of sources in the sample is presented. It is found that most of EGRET (Energetic Gamma-ray Experiment Telescope) sources have higher Doppler factor δ, larger Lorentz factor γ, and smaller viewing angle θ, when compared with the remaining sources in the sample. The statistical analyses show that the derived Doppler factor δis strongly correlated with the observed 22 GHz brightness temperature. Furthermore, there is a correlation between the relative $γ$-ray luminosity and the Doppler factor δ. The implications of these results are discussed.

Foreground Biases on Primordial Non-Gaussianity Measurements from the CMB Temperature Bispectrum: Implications for Planck and Beyond

description: The cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature bispectrum is currently the most precise tool for constraining primordial non-Gaussianity (NG). The Planck temperature data tightly constrain the amplitude of local-type NG: $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc} = 2.5 \pm 5.7$. Here, we compute previously-neglected foreground biases in temperature-based $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc}$ measurements, due to the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect, gravitational lensing, the thermal and kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects, and the cosmic infrared background. While standard analyses already subtract a significant bias on $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc}$ due to the ISW-lensing bispectrum, many other secondary anisotropy terms are present in the temperature bispectrum. We compute the dominant biases on $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc}$ arising from these signals. Most of the biases are non-blackbody, and are thus reduced by multifrequency component separation methods; however, recent analyses have found that extragalactic foregrounds are present at non-negligible levels in the Planck component-separated maps. Moreover, the Planck FFP8 simulations do not include the foreground correlations that generate these biases. We compute the biases for individual frequencies; some are comparable to the statistical error bar on $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc}$, even for the main CMB channels (100, 143, and 217 GHz). For future experiments, they greatly exceed the statistical error (considering temperature only). Alternatively, the foreground contributions can be marginalized over, but this leads to a non-negligible increase in the error bar on $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc}$. A full assessment will require calculations in tandem with component separation, ideally using simulations. We also compute these biases for equilateral and orthogonal NG, finding large effects for the latter. We conclude that the search for primordial NG using Planck data may not yet be over.

description: The axial anomaly in lattice gauge theories has a topological nature when the Dirac operator satisfies the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. We study the axial anomaly in Abelian gauge theories on an infinite hypercubic lattice by utilizing cohomological arguments. The crucial tool in our approach is the non-commutative differential calculus~(NCDC) which makes the Leibniz rule of exterior derivatives valid on the lattice. The topological nature of the ``Chern character'' on the lattice becomes manifest in the context of NCDC. Our result provides an algebraic proof of Lüscher's theorem for a four-dimensional lattice and its generalization to arbitrary dimensions.

description: This thesis investigates the relationship between gender, race and strains. Using data collected from the 2005-2006 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children, the study examined children's outlooks and experiences relating to an extensive range of health related activities and lifestyles. Specifically, this study examined the ways in which males and females bully and if black students bully more than white students. Furthermore, the study examined race and gender differences in bullying, and the impact of strains on these relationships. It was found that both race and gender are significant predictors of bullying when controlling for measures of strains and other demographic variables. The study also found that males were more likely to bully than females and blacks were more likely to bully than whites. The three measures of strain that were utilized were all significant predictors of all three types of bullying except for the relationship between life strain and indirect bullying.

description: A naturally occurring root vegetable called Beta vulgaris, also known as red beetroot, is a great source of phytochemicals and bioactive substances. The taproot section of the plant is what makes beetroot. It’s an excellent diet essential for the growth and development of the human body. Beetroot primarily serves as a food ingredient and functions as both fruits and vegetables. It is widely recognized for playing advantageous part in the improving of plenty of clinical and pathologic results. Minerals and antioxidants are often present in abundance in it. The biological activity of betalains and nitrates, which are found in beetroot, has drawn growing attention. Additionally, it has been discovered to have anticancer effects via reducing angiogenesis, apoptosis and autophagy in cells as well as suppressing cell growth. Beetroot, which is high in nitrates, may also improve athletic performance and lessen muscular soreness when used in certain workout regimens.

description: The prediction of magnetic skyrmions being used to change the way we store and process data has led to materials with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction coming into the focus of intensive research. So far, studies have looked mostly at magnetic systems composed of materials with single chirality. In a search for potential future spintronic devices, combination of materials with different chirality into a single system may represent an important new avenue for research. Using finite element micromagnetic simulations, we study an FeGe disk with two layers of different chirality. We show that for particular thicknesses of layers, a stable Bloch point emerges at the interface between two layers. In addition, we demonstrate that the system undergoes hysteretic behaviour and that two different types of Bloch point exist. These `head-to-head' and `tail-to-tail' Bloch point configurations can, with the application of an external magnetic field, be switched between. Finally, by investigating the time evolution of the magnetisation field, we reveal the creation mechanism of the Bloch point. Our results introduce a stable and manipulable Bloch point to the collection of particle-like state candidates for the development of future spintronic devices.

Jet Quenching versus Jet Enhancement: A Quantitative Study of the BDMPS-Z Gluon Radiation Spectrum
Creators: name: Wiedemann, Urs Achim
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the gluon radiation spectrum off a hard in-medium produced quark in the multiple soft rescattering formalism of Baier-Dokshitzer-Mueller-Peigne-Schiff, and of Zakharov (BDMPS-Z). Its dependence on the quark and gluon energy, on the gluon transverse momentum, on the in-medium pathlength and on the rescattering properties of the nuclear medium is analyzed quantitatively. The two components of gluon radiation, the hard vacuum radiation associated to the quark production vertex, and the medium-induced rescattering contribution interfer destructively. For small spatial extensions of the medium, this destructive interference overcompensates the hard vacuum radiation, and the total medium-induced radiative energy loss decreases proportional to L^3. Medium-induced gluon production dominates only above a finite critical length which varies between 3 and more than 6 fm depending on the rescattering properties of the medium. Deviations from the BDMPS-L^2-behaviour persist above the critical length. The medium dependence of the angular gluon distribution is dominated by Brownian transverse momentum broadening. This results in a depletion of the low transverse momentum part of both the hard and the medium-induced contribution. As a consequence, the medium-induced energy loss outside a finite angular cone size can be more than a factor two larger than the total medium-induced radiative energy loss. We discuss implications of these results for the jet quenching signal in relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC.

description: We present the results of the archaeological analysis of the stellar populations of a sample of ~4,000 galaxies observed by the SDSS-IV-MaNGA survey using Pipe3D. Based on this analysis we extract a sample of ~150,000 SFRs and stellar masses that mimic a single cosmological survey covering the redshift range between z~0 to z~7. We confirm that the Star-Forming Main Sequence holds as a tight relation in this range of redshifts, and evolves strongly in both the zero-point and slope. This evolution is different for the population of local star-forming (SFGs) and retired (RGs) galaxies, with the latter presenting a stronger evolution in the zero-point and a weaker evolution in the slope. The fraction of RGs decreases rapidly with z, particularly for those classified as RGs at z~0. Contrary to previous studies we detect RGs well above z>1, although not all of them are progenitors of local RGs. Finally, adopting the required corrections to make the survey complete in mass in a limited volume, we recover the cosmic star-formation rate (SFR), stellar mass density, and average specific SFR histories of the Universe in this wide range of look-back times, with a remarkable agreement with the values reported by various cosmological surveys. We demonstrate that the progenitors of local RGs were more actively forming stars in the past, contributing to most of the cosmic SFR density at z>0.5, and to most of the cosmic stellar mass density at any redshift. They suffer a general quenching in the SFR at z~0.35. Below this redshift the progenitors of local SFGs dominate the SFR density of the Universe.

description: An investigation of the kinematics of a rotating relativistic plasma stream in the perpendicular rotator model of the pulsar magnetosphere is presented. It is assumed that the plasma (ejected from the pulsar) moves along the pulsar magnetic field lines and also corotates with them. The field lines are considered to be radial straight lines, located in the plane which is perpendicular to the pulsar rotation axis. The necessity of taking particle inertia into account is discussed. It is argued that the "massless" ("force-free") approximation cannot be used for the description of this problem. The frame selection is discussed and it is shown that it is convenient to discuss the problem in the noninertial frame of ZAMOs (Zero Angular Momentum Observers). The equation of motion and the exact set of equations describing the behaviour of a relativistic plasma stream in the pulsar magnetosphere is obtained. The possible relevance of this investigation for the understanding of the formation process of a pulsar magnetosphere is discussed.

Strong Coupling Model for String Breaking on the Lattice

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: A model for SU(n) string breaking on the lattice is formulated using strong coupling ideas. Although necessarily rather crude, the model gives an explicit picture of string breaking in the presence of dynamical quarks as a mixing phenomenon that involves the string state and a two-meson state. A careful analysis, within the model, of the Wilson loop shows that the evolution of the mixing angle as a function of separation may obscure the expected crossover effect. If a sufficiently extensive mixing region exists then an appropriate combination of transition amplitudes can help in revealing the effect. The sensitivity of the mixing region to the values of the meson energy and the dynamical quark mass is explored and an assessment made of the dectectibility of string breaking in a practical lattice simulation.

description: We demonstrate on the basis of ab initio simulations how passivated semiconductor surfaces can be exploited to study bulklike interaction properties and wave functions of magnetic impurities on the atomic scale with conventional and spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy. By applying our approach to the case of $3d$ transition metal impurities close to the H/Si$(111)$ surface, we show exemplarily that their wave functions in Si are less extended than for Mn in GaAs, thus obstructing ferromagnetism in Si. Finally, we discuss possible applications of this method to other dilute magnetic semiconductors.

description: Axial anomaly of lattice abelian gauge theory in hyper-cubic regular lattice in arbitrary even dimensions is investigated by applying the method of exterior differential calculus. The topological invariance, gauge invariance and locality of the axial anomaly determine the explicit form of the topological part. The anomaly is obtained up to a multiplicative constant for finite lattice spacing and can be interpreted as the Chern character of the abelian lattice gauge theory.

description: Massive $10^{4-5}\rm\ M_{\odot}$ black hole seeds resulting from the \textit{direct} collapse of pristine gas require a metal-free atomic cooling halo with extremely low H$_2$ fraction, allowing the gas to cool isothermally in the presence of atomic hydrogen. In order to achieve this chemo-thermodynamical state, the gas needs to be irradiated by both: Lyman-Werner (LW) photons in the energy range $11.2-13.6$ eV capable of photodissociating H$_2$, and $0.76$ eV photons capable of photodetaching H$^-$. Employing cosmological simulations capable of creating the first galaxies in high resolution, we explore if there exists a subset that favours DCBH formation in their vicinity. We find a fundamental relation between the maximum distance at which a galaxy can cause DCBH formation and its star formation rate (SFR), which automatically folds in the chemo-thermodynamical effects of both H$_2$ photo-dissociation and H$^-$ photo-detachment. This is in contrast to the scatter in the LW flux parameter seen at the maximum distance. It shows up to a 3 order of magnitude scatter, which can be interpreted as a scatter in `J$_{crit}$'. Thus, computing the rates and/or the LW flux from a galaxy is no longer necessary to identify neighbouring sites of DCBH formation, as our relation allows one to distinguish regions where DCBH formation could be triggered in the vicinity of a galaxy of a given SFR.

description: The spectrum of B and D mesons (including the low lying orbitally and radially excited states) is calculated using the quark-antiquark Hamiltonian derived from QCD in the einbein field formalism. Spin-spin and spin-orbit terms due to the confinement and OGE interactions are taken into account as perturbations. Results for the masses and splittings are confronted to the experimental and recent lattice data and are demonstrated to be in a reasonable agreement with both. We find that the orbital excitations with l=2 and l=3 for D meson lie approximately in the same region as its first radial excitation that might solve the mystery of the extremely narrow D(2637) state recently claimed by DELPHI Collaboration.

description: A one parameter, model confined-gluon propagator is employed in a phenomenological application of the Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations to the calculation of a range of $π$- and $ρ$-meson observables. Good agreement is obtained with the data. The calculated quark propagator does not have a singularity on the real-$p^2$ axis. A mass formula for the pion, involving only the vacuum, dressed quark propagator, is presented and shown to provide an accurate estimate of the mass obtained via a direct solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation.

description: The Lie algebra of the symmetry group of the $(n+1)$-dimensional ge\-ne\-ra\-li\-zation of the dispersionless Kadomtsev--Petviashvili (dKP) equation is obtained and identified as a semi-direct sum of a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra and an infinite dimensional nilpotent subalgebra. Group transformation properties of solutions under the subalgebra $\Sl(2,\mathbb{R})$ are presented. Known explicit analytic solutions in the literature are shown to be actually group-invariant solutions corresponding to certain specific infinitesimal generators of the symmetry group.

description: Scattering from a non-smooth random field on the time domain is studied for plane waves that propagate simultaneously through the potential in variable angles. We first derive sufficient conditions for stochastic moments of the field to be recovered from correlations between amplitude measurements of the leading singularities, detected in the exterior of a region where the potential is almost surely supported. The result is then applied to show that if two sufficiently regular random fields yield the same data, they have identical laws as function-valued random variables.

description: The behaviour of a relativistic electron-positron plasma in the pulsar magnetosphere is investigated. The equation of the motion of the magnetospheric plasma is discussed, from which it follows that, if the plasma particle radial velocity ${V_r}>{c/{\sqrt 2}}$ (where c is the speed of light), the centrifugal acceleration changes its sign and the particle braking begins. The stability of the magnetospheric plasma with respect to the radially oriented potential perturbations is discussed and the possibility of the electrostatic field generation in this plasma along the pulsar magnetic field lines is shown.

Blazar Mrk 501 shows rhythmic oscillations in its $γ$-ray emission
Creators: name: Bhatta, Gopal
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) originating from innermost regions of blazars can provide unique perspective of some of the burning issues in blazar studies including disk-jet connection, launch of relativistic jets from the central engine, and other extreme conditions near the fast rotating supermassive black holes. However, a number of hurdles associated with searching QPOs in blazars e.g., red-noise dominance, modest significance of the detection and periodic modulation lasting for only a couple of cycles, make it difficult to estimate the true significance of the detection. In this work, we report a $\sim$ 330-day QPO in the Fermi/LAT observations of the blazar Mrk 501 spanning nearly a decade. To establish consistency of the result, we adopted multiple approaches to the time series analysis and employed four widely known methods. Among these, Lomb-Scargle periodogram and weighted wavelet z-transform represent frequency domain based methods whereas epoch folding and z-transformed discrete auto-correlation function are time-domain based analysis. Power spectrum response method was followed to properly account for the red-noise, largely inherent in blazar light curves. Both local and global significance of the signal were found to be above 99\% over possible spurious detection. In the context where not many $γ$-ray QPOs have been reported to last more than 5 cycles, this might be one of the few instances where we witness a sub-year timescale $γ$-ray QPO persisting nearly 7 cycles. A number of possible scenarios linked with binary supermassive black hole, relativistic jets, and accretion disks can be invoked to explain the transient QPO.

We evaluate a conjectured initial energy densities $ε_{\rm corr}$ in these collisions, and compare them to Bjorken's initial energy density estimates, and to results for Pb$+$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV and $p$$+$$p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ and 8 TeV.

title: Citizen's Satisfaction With the Police
Creators: name: Baskerville, Kim Barshanet
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98
publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 2005

description: The purpose of this research project is to examine three competing models of citizen satisfaction with the police: 1) citizen characteristics, 2) citizen experience with the police, and 3) citizen quality of life issues. Data were taken from Criminal Victimization and Perceptions of Community Safety in 12 Cities, 1998. The relationship between citizen satisfaction and the three models were tested by examining different types of contact between police and citizens, race, age, gender, and quality of life, which was measured by satisfaction with neighborhood and satisfaction with city. In addition, an item labeled disorder, which takes into consideration acts of social incivilities in the neighborhood helped to measure quality of life.

At the bivariate level, type of contact was significant for three specific contacts, which were: having a casual conversation with the police, reporting a crime to the police and involvement in a community activity with the police. There was no significant relationship between gender and satisfaction with the police, which is inconsistent with previous studies that have examined satisfaction with police and gender.

Logistic Regression was conducted for contact, citizens' characteristics and quality of life. The quality of life item demonstrated the most explanatory power. There was approximately 21 percent of variation in satisfaction with the police when using quality of life as a predictor.

description: We study dual superconductivity of the ground state of SU(2) gauge theory, in connection with confinement. We do that measuring on the lattice a disorder parameter describing condensation of monopoles. Confinement appears as a transition to dual superconductor, independent of the abelian projection defining monopoles. Some speculations are made on the existence of a more appropriate disorder parameter. A similar study for SU(3) is presented in a companion paper.
