description: ABSTRACTUnderstanding molecular systems with complex multi-configurational bonding has been of interest to both experimentalists and theoreticians for many years. High level dynamically weighted MRCI calculations were used to generate accurate potential energy curves for the triplet ground state 3Σ−, and triplet excited states up to (4 3Σ−, 4 3Π and 1 3Δ) and quintet (1 5Σ− and 1 5Π) states up to 50,000 cm−1 above the ground state minimum. The lowest four 3Π states of magnesium mono-carbide (MgC) are strongly coupled leading to lifetimes that are shortened by pre-dissociation for most of the vibronic states. Non-adiabatic derivative couplings between the 3Π states were used to determine diabatic potential energy curves. The state mixing role of spin–orbit coupling, which is much weaker than the non-adiabatic interactions, is discussed. A coupled vibronic Hamiltonian was solved to compute and assign strongly mixed vibronic states. The results are compared and contrasted with the valence iso-electronic beryllium carbide (BeC) system whose results were published earlier [B.J. Barker, I.O. Antonov, J.M. Merritt, V.E. Bondybey, M.C. Heaven, and R. Dawes, J. Chem. Phys. 137, 214313 (2012)]. Transitions, spectroscopic constants and band origins are expected to aid experimental detection of MgC in the future.

description: The phase formation processes of isopolytungstates in the systems Co2+––H+–DMF–H2O (DMF-dimethylformamide) with different acidities (Z = ν(H+)/ν = 1.14–1.60) have been studied. It was found that only cobalt(II) hepta-, para-, and decatungstates could be isolated from aqueous DMF solutions. The chemical and FTIR spectroscopic analysis of the products isolated from the system allowed determination of conditions of Co(II) decatungstate formation. Cobalt(II) decatungstate, [Co(C3H7NO)5]2[W10O32], was characterized by elemental and EDX spectral analysis, SEM, FTIR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and by UV–vis spectroscopy analysis.

description: In this paper, we report on the low energy-density recording with a high-repetition-rate femtosecond pulsed beam in homogenous goldnanoroddispersed discs by using low numerical aperture (NA) microoptics. By focusing a femtosecond pulsed beam at a repetition rate of 82 MHz using a low NA DVD optical head, the spatially-stretched energy density introduces a temperature rising of the polymer matrix. This temperature rising facilitates the surface melting of gold nanorods, which leads to over one-order-of-magnitude reduction in the energy-density threshold for recording, compared with that by focusing single pulses through a high NA objective. Applying this finding, we demonstrate the dual-layer recording in gold-nanorod-dispersed discs with an equivalent capacity of 69 GB. Our results demonstrate the potential of ultra-high density three-dimensional optical memory with a low-cost and DVDcompatible apparatus.

description: Ag nanocone enhanced light trapping in the silicon substrate is numerically investigated. For a wide range of the dielectric spacer thickness, the normalized scattering cross section of the rear located particles is higher than that of the front located particles, which is contrary to previous reports. This design not only avoids the conflict with the detrimental Fano effect but is also beneficial to the rear located particles. The fraction of the incident light scattered into silicon is calculated. The path length enhancement is assessed. The Ag nanocone shows highly competitive light-trapping potential.
Creation of diffraction-limited non-Airy multifocal arrays using a spatially shifted vortex beam

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Diffraction-limited non-Airy multifocal arrays are created by focusing a phase-modulated vortex beam through a high numerical-aperture objective. The modulated phase at the back aperture of the objective resulting from the superposition of two concentric phase-modulated vortex beams allows for the generation of a multifocal array of cylindrically polarized non-Airy patterns. Furthermore, we shift the spatial positions of the phase vortices to manipulate the intensity distribution at each focal spot, leading to the creation of a multifocal array of split-ring patterns. Our method is experimentally validated by generating the predicted phase modulation through a spatial light modulator. Consequently, the spatially shifted circularly polarized vortex beam adopted in a dynamic laser direct writing system facilitates the fabrication of a split-ring microstructure array in a polymer material by a single exposure of a femtosecond laser beam.

description: Near-field light concentration from plasmonic nanostructures was predicted to significantly improve solar cell conversion efficiency since the inception of plasmonic solar cells. However the challenge remains in designing effective nanostructures for useful near-field enhancement much exceeding the detrimental ohmic loss and light blockage losses in solar cells. We propose and demonstrate ultra-small (a few nanometers) gold nanoparticles integrated in amorphous silicon solar cells between the front electrode and the photoactive layer. Significant enhancements in both the photocurrent (14.1%) and fill factor (12.3%) have been achieved due to the strong plasmonic near-field concentration and the reduced contact resistance, respectively.

description: The human gaze is an important cue to signal intention, attention, distraction, and the regions of interest in the immediate surroundings. Gaze tracking can transform how robots perceive, understand, and react to people, enabling new modes of robot control, interaction, and collaboration. In this paper, we use gaze tracking data from a rich dataset of human motion (THÖR-MAGNI) to investigate the coordination between gaze direction and head rotation of humans engaged in various indoor activities involving navigation, interaction with objects, and collaboration with a mobile robot. In particular, we study the spread and central bias of fixations in diverse activities and examine the correlation between gaze direction and head rotation. We introduce various human motion metrics to enhance the understanding of gaze behavior in dynamic interactions. Finally, we apply semantic object labeling to decompose the gaze distribution into activity-relevant regions.

description: The effective density and volatility of particulate emissions from five gasoline direct injection (GDI) passenger vehicles were measured using a tandem differential mobility analyzer (DMA) and centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA) system. The measurements were conducted on a chassis dynamometer at three steady state operating conditions. A thermodenuder was employed to find the volatility and mixing state of the particles as well as the effective density of nascent and non-volatile particles (defined as particle phase remaining after denuding at 200°C). The mass-mobility exponent ranged between 2.4 to 2.7 for nascent (or undenuded) particles and between 2.5 to 2.7 for non-volatile particles; higher than typical diesel soot. The effective density function was 4278dm–0.438±76.3 kg/m3 (for mobility diameter, dm, in nm) for nascent particles and 3215dm–0.395±37.9 kg/m3 for non-volatile particles. The effective density functions of the non-volatile particles were fairly similar for the conditions studied. The uncertainty in using the effective density and mixing state data to determine the mass concentration of the aerosol by integrating mobility size distributions was examined. The uncertainty in mass concentration is minimized when only the non-volatile component is measured. However, the uncertainty in the mass concentration increases substantially if nascent particles are measured due to uncertainties in the particle mixing state and their associated effective densities. Furthermore, transient vehicle operation (cold-starts, accelerations, and decelerations) would likely change the mixing state of the exhaust particles suggesting it is difficult to accurately measure the mass concentration of undenuded GDI exhaust particulate using integrated size distribution methods.
Modeling Risk of Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS) in North Carolina: Informed Risk Mitigation through Land Use Policy
Creators: name: Wiener, Maggie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a newly uncovered mammalian meat allergy thought to be transmitted through the bite of the lone star or black-legged tick. While relatively little is known about the prevalence and spatial distribution of AGS across the United States, it is likely that the risks of AGS, along with other tick-borne diseases (TBD), are evolving due to changing climate and changing land use practices. The scientific objective of this study was to model AGS risk based on epidemiological and land use data, with the goal of developing evidence-based land use policies that may reduce human-tick interactions, thus minimizing AGS risk. The results demonstrate higher risk present in more densely populated areas and in lower intensity developed areas that may indicate presence of forest fragmentation. Polices that address forest fragmentation, such as afforestation subsidies or appropriate zoning, may help inform risk mitigation of TBD, like AGS, in North Carolina.

description: We investigate the quantum phase transition in the anisotropic Dicke model through an examination of the quantum geometric tensor of the ground state. In this analysis, two distinct classical limits exhibit their unique anisotropic characteristics. The classical spin limit demonstrates a preference for the rotating-wave coupling, whereas the classical oscillator limit exhibits symmetry in the coupling strength of the bias. The anisotropic features of the classical spin limit persist at finite scales. Furthermore, we observe that the interplay among the anisotropic ratio, spin length, and frequency ratio can collectively enhance the critical behaviors. This critical enhancement without trade-off between these factors provides a flexible method for quantum precision measurement.

description: Strawberries are extensively cultivated and enjoyed for their appealing sensory attributes and nutritional benefits. Rain can significantly reduce its quality. Rain damage is characterized by water soaking and cracking. Both disorders increase the risk of decay, causing significant economic losses. The objectives of this study were (1) to identify the mechanisms and factors of water movement through the fruit’s surface, (2) to characterize and to identify the factors affecting microcracking of the cuticle, (3) to identify the mechanism and the factors affecting cracking in strawberry, (4) to identify the triggers, factors, and mechanism of water soaking in strawberry and (5) to establish the effects of calcium (Ca) and other monovalent, divalent, and trivalent cations on water soaking. Permeances for osmotic water uptake and transpiration were higher than in other soft fruit. High osmotic uptake permeance may be attributed to a thin cuticle and viscous water flow through microcracks and polar pathways. The abscission zones of the petals and stamina, and microcracks in the calyx and receptacle served as preferential pathways for osmotic uptake. Microcracking increased with fruit development, and it was significantly promoted by surface wetness. Necked strawberries were more susceptible to cracking than normal-shaped fruit. Growth strain was the main driver of cracking, and this was further exacerbated by water uptake. Water-soaked fruit showed show pale, deliquescent patches of skin. Water uptake markedly increased water soaking. Citric and malic acids increased plasma membrane permeability and increased water soaking. Cuticular microcracks were observed in water-soaked areas. Ca mitigates water soaking by decreasing cuticular microcracking, leakage from plasma membranes, and possibly increased cross-linking of cell wall constituents. Rain damage in strawberries involves cuticular microcracks, localized uptake by viscous flow, cell bursting, and release of organic acids in the apoplast. These events trigger a chain reaction that extends a microcrack into a macrocrack and, as skin cell destruction progresses, causes water soaking.

PM2.5 solely was not correlated with home BP levels, but low temperature was associated with a 1.6-fold increased likelihood of morning hypertension (p 2.5 concentration. In addition, coexistence of low temperature and high PM2.5 was associated with a 2.3-fold increased likelihood of morning hypertension (p 2.5 condition. Environmental and meteorological factors could be important causes of enhanced home BP elevation.

description: Haemostatic- and oxidative stress markers are associated with increased cardiovascular risk. In the black population, evidence exists that both an imbalance in the haemostatic system and oxidative stress link with the development of hypertension. However, it is unclear whether these two risk components function independently or are related, specifically in the black population, who is known to have a high prevalence of stroke. We aimed to investigate associations between the haemostatic system and oxidative stress in black and white South Africans. We performed a cross-sectional study including 181 black (mean age, 44; 51.4% women) and 209 white (mean age, 45; 51.7% women) teachers. Several markers of the haemostatic- (von Willebrand factor, fibrinogen, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, d-dimer and clot lysis time) and oxidant–antioxidant (serum peroxides, total glutathione, glutathione peroxidase- and glutathione reductase activities) systems were measured. Along with a worsened cardiovascular profile, the black group had higher haemostatic-, inflammation- and oxidative stress markers as well as decreased glutathione peroxidase activity. In multiple regression analyses, fibrinogen was positively associated with serum peroxides (p p ≤ 0.008), while a positive association existed between clot lysis time and serum peroxides (p = 0.011) in the white population. We conclude that in the black population, decreased GPx activity accompanies an altered haemostatic profile, while in the white population associations may suggest that serum peroxides impair fibrin clot lysis.

description: In this work, we are introducing a Quantum-Classical Bayesian Neural Network (QCBNN) that is capable to perform uncertainty-aware classification of classical medical dataset. This model is a symbiosis of a classical Convolutional NN that performs ultra-sound image processing and a quantum circuit that generates its stochastic weights, within a Bayesian learning framework. To test the utility of this idea for the possible future deployment in the medical sector we track multiple behavioral metrics that capture both predictive performance as well as model's uncertainty. It is our ambition to create a hybrid model that is capable to classify samples in a more uncertainty aware fashion, which will advance the trustworthiness of these models and thus bring us step closer to utilizing them in the industry. We test multiple setups for quantum circuit for this task, and our best architectures display bigger uncertainty gap between correctly and incorrectly identified samples than its classical benchmark at an expense of a slight drop in predictive performance. The innovation of this paper is two-fold: (1) combining of different approaches that allow the stochastic weights from the quantum circuit to be continues thus allowing the model to classify application-driven dataset; (2) studying architectural features of quantum circuit that make-or-break these models, which pave the way into further investigation of more informed architectural designs.

description: In this field study, we questioned how diverging vegetal coverage, temperature and moonlight influence the patch use indicated by the giving-up density (GUD) of a nocturnal small mammal community in sheltered and non-sheltered food patches. We investigated the foraging strategy of a widely spread community consisting of Desert hamsters (Phodopus roborovskii), Midday gerbils (Meriones meridianus), Northern three-toed jerboas (Dipus sagitta) and Long-eared hedgehogs (Hemiechinus auritus) in the Alashan Desert, China. The aim was to analyse foraging as a result of biotic and abiotic factors in undisturbed habitats, i.e. we did not manipulate any surrounding conditions and all animals were free ranging. Three habitats were investigated, named after the dominant species: Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, Corispermum sp. and Zygophyllum pterocarpum. The following results can be summarised: (1) we found no or only slight differences for the GUD within the habitats between open and sheltered places; (2) lunar illumination affected foraging during waxing and waning moon phases within the first part of the night; (3) ambient temperature and the presence of moonlight resulted in changes in the interspecific competition that impacted the GUD; and (4) we determined prominent differences amongst habitats within the four moon phases, especially between the more covered habitats Ammopiptanthus and Zygophyllum, in contrast to the Corispermum habitat with its sparse coverage ratio. In general, foraging effort was elevated in the more covered habitats. We found a preferred foraging activity in warm and dark parts of the night which may lead to elevated inter-individual competition resulting in higher GUDs. Warmer periods were preferred in nights with constant light conditions, although resource competition was again elevated. We concluded that the foraging strategy was mainly affected by habitat, whereas moonlight and temperature modulate the resulting GUD in undisturbed environments. The availability of vegetal shelters influences foraging only in detail.

The δ-CR-EOMCC approaches are also used to identify and characterise about 50 additional excited states, including several states having substantial two-electron excitation components, which have not been found in the previous work and which can be used in future benchmark studies. It is demonstrated that the non-iterative triples corrections to the EOMCCSD excitation energies defining the relatively inexpensive, single-reference, black-box δ-CR-EOMCC approaches provide significant improvements in the EOMCCSD data, while closely matching the results of the iterative and considerably more expensive CC3 and EOMCCSDT-3 calculations and their CASPT2 and TBE counterparts. It is also shown that the δ-CR-EOMCC methods, especially δ-CR-EOMCC(2,3), are capable of bringing the results of the CC3 and EOMCCSDT-3 calculations to a closer agreement with the CASPT2 and TBE data, demonstrating the utility of the cost-effective δ-CR-EOMCC methods in applications involving molecular electronic spectra. We show that there may exist a relationship between the magnitude of the triples corrections defining δ-CR-EOMCC approaches and the reduced excitation level diagnostic resulting from EOMCCSD.

description: Por primera vez se habla de disciplinas como la Pragmática en documentos institucionales relacionados con la enseñanza de la lengua materna. Esta disciplina es la base del enfoque comunicativo en enseñanza de lenguas y, parecer ser, la tendencia de las instituciones es que el alumno de Primaria desarrolle la competencia comunicativa en español (saber hacer cosas con las palabras) y no sólo aprenda la gramática de una lengua (saber hacer cosas sobre las palabras). Proponemos un desplazamiento total hacia los enfoques comunicativos y la introducción de los documentos oficiales que ya disponemos en ELE. El PCIC establece niveles de referencia dando sentido práctico al MCER; aprovechemos este material en nuestras escuelas. El MCER enuncia de un modo muy general las actividades comunicativas (las denomina actividades de la lengua) que los alumnos deberían ser capaces de llevar a cabo mediante sus correspondientes estrategias. El Instituto Cervantes traspone esos descriptores generales y nos brinda un laborioso trabajo de categorización y desarrollo: descripciones pormenorizadas del material lingüístico (debemos ofrecer también input lingüístico del código también a nuestros alumnos aunque sean nativos) con un total de doce inventarios referidos al componente gramatical, al pragmático-discursivo, al componente cultural y al componente de aprendizaje

description: Background: Portfolios are widely used for meeting new accreditation standards in the age of competency-based medicine. However, the method of learning through portfolio has been suggested to be vulnerable. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore conditions affecting the experience of teaching and learning from the perspective of both students and mentors in a reflective writing-based portfolio initiative. Method: Using mixed-methods rooted in grounded theory, 139 students and 13 mentors completed questionnaires, 23 students participated in four focus groups and 9 mentors in individual interviews. Results: The overarching theme in our data was student–mentor engagement. Our results confirm previous literature describing portfolio as a vulnerable method of learning, extend this concept by identifying and categorizing specific points of vulnerability, and contribute new knowledge regarding acts of adaptability, which serve to strengthen the student–mentor relationship. Conclusion: Engagement is central to the success of portfolio and is shaped by a dynamic interaction between points of vulnerability and acts of adaptability. We propose a model of engagement in portfolio that can be used for faculty development to optimize student–mentor engagement.

description: Tardigrades can survive remarkable doses of ionizing radiation, up to about 1,000 times the lethal dose for humans. How they do so is incompletely understood. We found that the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris suffers DNA damage upon gamma irradiation, but the damage is repaired. We show that this species has a specific and robust response to ionizing radiation: irradiation induces a rapid upregulation of many DNA repair genes. This upregulation is unexpectedly extreme-making some DNA repair transcripts among the most abundant transcripts in the animal. By expressing tardigrade genes in bacteria, we validate that increased expression of some repair genes can suffice to increase radiation tolerance. We show that at least one such gene is important in vivo for tardigrade radiation tolerance. We hypothesize that the tardigrades' ability to sense ionizing radiation and massively upregulate specific DNA repair pathway genes may represent an evolved solution for maintaining DNA integrity.

description: The present study was conducted in Jhikargacha sub-district of Jessore district with the view to evaluating status of polyculture of Pangasius hypophthalmus with carps from July to December 2012. The mean age and experience of the respondents was 41.28±12.19 and 9.48±3.12 years respectively. Culture pond size was 0.41±0.21 ha (0.343 to 0.478 at 95% CL). 67.50% culture ponds were leased ponds and mean yearly lease value was 535364.70±468224.20 BDT/ha. All the ponds were rectangular in shape and perennial in nature. During preparation of pond, all the ponds were dried by draining out the water. Liming was done at 229.30±118.70 kg/ha (pre-stocking) and 250 kg/ha (post-stocking). Application rate of various fertilizers during post stocking management were recorded as- 155.12±79.10 kg/ha (cow dung); 158.27±79.85 kg/ha (urea); and 79.90±42.93 kg/ha (TSP). Five species of fishes were found to be stocked at the rate of 7377 individuals/ha including 93.10% P. hypophthalmus seeds and 6.90% other carps. Supplementary feeding was done daily and the application rates were 444.23±236.41 kg/ha (rice bran), 228.29±116.96 kg/ha (mustard oil cake), and 912.91±468.05 kg/ha (commercial pangus feeds, pellet). Average fish production was found 6672.84 kg/ha. All the fishes grown in the study area were marketed to fish landing centers and markets of three districts- Chuadanga (47.50%), Dhaka (30%) and Jessore (22.50%). The average cost-benefit ratio was 1:1.15. High mortality, low growth of seeds, and high input price were the major problems.
