description: The electronic and magnetic properties of epitaxial LaNiO3/LaAlO3 superlattices can be tuned by layer thickness and substrate-induced strain. Here, we report on direct measurements of the k-space-resolved electronic structure of buried nickelate layers in superlattices under compressive strain by soft x-ray photoemission. After disentangling strong extrinsic contributions to the angle-dependent signal caused by photoelectron diffraction, we are able to extract Fermi surface information from our data. We find that with decreasing LaNiO3 thickness down to two unit cells (2 uc) quasiparticle coherence becomes strongly reduced, in accord with the dimension-induced metal-to-insulator transition seen in transport measurements. Nonetheless, on top of a strongly incoherent background a residual Fermi surface can be identified in the 2 uc superlattice whose nesting properties are consistent with the spin-density wave (SDW) instability recently reported. The overall behavior of the Ni 3d spectra and the absence of a complete gap opening indicate that the SDW phase is dominated by strong order parameter fluctuations.

Art Museum attendance and the public realm: The agency of visitor information in Tate's organisational practices of making the art museum's audiences
Creators: name: Young, Victoria Caroline
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2020

description: This study presents an original contribution to knowledge in its investigation of Tate’s strategic practices of audience, via materially-traced networks of action. In recent years, museological literature has examined issues of access and evaluation, their relation to cultural policy, and the wider framework of value delivery within the public realm. The present study employs ethnographic observation over a fifteen month period, combined with a theoretical approach, to trace and describe the social construction of Tate’s understandings of its audiences. The study provides insights into how the visitor information is generated, distributed, mediated, valued and applied across the various departments of the museum, and in what forms it exerts agency upon the daily practices of the art museum. This study advances understandings of audiences within museological discourse by moving beyond the customary calls for the generation of more data, or improved data-collection methods, to consider the effects of the application of visitor information in the formation of audiences, and the significance of this agency in terms of structures of power.

description: In recent years, photoacoustics has attracted intensive research for both anatomical and functional biomedical imaging. However, the physical interaction between photoacoustic generated endogenous waves and an exogenous ultrasound wave is a largely unexplored area. Here, we report the initial results about the interaction of photoacoustic and external ultrasound waves leading to a micro-Doppler photoacoustic (mDPA) effect, which is experimentally observed and consistently modelled. It is based on a simultaneous excitation on the target with a pulsed laser and continuous wave (CW) ultrasound. The thermoelastically induced expansion will modulate the CW ultrasound and leads to transient Doppler frequency shift. The reported mDPA effect can be described as frequency modulation of the intense CW ultrasound carrier through photoacoustic vibrations. This technique may open the possibility to sensitively detect the photoacoustic vibration in deep optically and acoustically scattering medium, avoiding acoustic distortion that exists in state-of-the-art pulsed photoacoustic imaging systems.

description: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic constitutes one of the greatest recent public crises. This study explored its influence on the lives and care realities of people with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD). Methods: Between October 2020 and April 2021, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 30 volunteers with SSDs receiving inpatient or outpatient treatment in Vienna (Austria). Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. Results: Three main themes were identified. First, ‘Pandemic life is deprived, lonely and surreal – though certain aspects can be perceived as positive’. Second, ‘Bio-psycho-social support systems were struck at their core by the pandemic and were left severely compromised’. Last, ‘There is a complex interplay between one’s prior experience of psychosis and the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic’. The pandemic situation affected interviewees in various ways. For many, it led to a drastic reduction in day-to-day and social activities and contributed to an atmosphere of strangeness and threat. Bio-psycho-social support providers frequently suspended their services and offered alternatives were not always helpful. Participants indicated that whilst having an SSD might render them vulnerable to the pandemic situation, prior experience with psychotic crises can also provide knowledge, skills and self-confidence which enable better coping. Some interviewees also perceived aspects of the pandemic situation as helpful for recovering from psychosis. Conclusion: Healthcare providers must acknowledge the perspectives and needs of people with SSDs in present and future public health crises to ensure proper clinical support.

Turing instabilities from a limit cycle

description: The Turing instability is a paradigmatic route to patterns formation in reaction-diffusion systems. Following a diffusion-driven instability, homogeneous fixed points can become unstable when subject to external perturbation. As a consequence, the system evolves towards a stationary, nonhomogeneous attractor. Stable patterns can be also obtained via oscillation quenching of an initially synchronous state of diffusively coupled oscillators. In the literature this is known as the oscillation death phenomenon. Here we show that oscillation death is nothing but a Turing instability for the first return map associated to the excitable system in its synchronous periodic state. In particular we obtain a set of closed conditions for identifying the domain in the parameters space that yields the instability. This is a natural generalisation of the original Turing relations, to the case where the homogeneous solution of the examined system is a periodic function of time. The obtained framework applies to systems embedded in continuum space, as well as those defined on a network-like support. The predictive ability of the theory is tested numerically, using different reaction schemes.

description: Abstract Present investigation planned to assess the tube well water quality of a village Peth Jahanpur of Daryapur Taluka, Amravati District Maharashtra for its potability by evaluating the physico-chemical param­eters and its comparison as per the WHO and ICMR standards for water quality. Overall results revealed significant difference in the values of water quality parameters like Total Hardness, Alkalinity, pH, TDS, DO which exceeded the desirable limit whereas Sulphate, Chloride and COD values were reported within the desirable limit of water quality standards. Seasonal comparison showed increased concentration of water quality parameters during summer season followed by rainy and winter season. On the basis of present investigation it can be concluded that the elevated values of water quality parameters Total hardness and Alkalinity affects tube well water quality which might be due to the geology of the region where sampling site is located.

description: Gamma-ray cascades in the two- and three-valence-particle nuclei 134Sb and 135Te have been studied with Gammasphere using a 248Cm spontaneous fission source. Isotopic assignments were based in part on coincidences with γ rays from complementary Rh and Ru fission partners. The 134Sb and 135Te level schemes have been considerably extended, with placement of many new high-energy g rays; delayed γ-ray coincidences observed across a 0.51-μs yrast isomer in135Te were especially fruitful. The yrast level spectra of both nuclei are interpreted using empirical nucleon-nucleon interactions and compared with the known yrast excitations of their counterparts 210Bi and 211Po.

description: In the deliverable 4.4, the technical aspects related with the development of a sensorized fluidic platform will be described. This platform will be used to develop the in-vitro model in the following WPs.
The development of the fluidic platform has required the collection of the specification. In particular CNR, the biological partner, has provided goal to be achieved, in order to finalize the biological model (4.4.1).
Once the specifications have been analysed, the industrial partners have focused the attention on different aspects of the platform:
• Elvesys has designed and produced the fluidic circuit (4.4.2), a flow controller (4.4.2), a pH and a O2 sensors (4.4.2)
• IVTech has developed the cell culture chamber (4.4.3)
• Eurecat has designed and realized the electrodes (4.4.4) and the platform to control the electrical stimulation of the cells (4.4.5)
An important step has been represented by the integration of the technologies. CNR has tested the modules and IVTech has helped in the technical aspects of the prototype's integration. Then, CNR has provided the preliminary biological data, to evaluate the usability and the efficacy of the prototypes.

description: We obtain a scale-invariant spectrum from the Lee-Wick model in de Sitter spacetime. This model is a fourth-order scalar theory whose mass parameter is determined by $M^2=2H^2$. The Harrison-Zel'dovich scale-invariant spectrum is obtained by Fourier transforming the propagator in position space as well as by computing the power spectrum directly. It shows clearly that the LW scalar theory provides a truly scale-invariant spectrum in whole de Sitter, while the massless scalar propagation in de Sitter shows a scale-invariant spectrum in the superhorizon region only.

description: Marble waste, as a subproduct of the exploitation of marble quarries, could be reused as a replacement for the scarce sand sediment supply for beach nourishment. This work studied the suitability of 4 different types of marble (Bateig, Ivory Cream, Imperial Brown and Niwala). The method consisted of generating 3 samples for each type of marble and preparing them (i) with jaw crusher and D50 = 0.692 mm; (ii) with jaw crusher and D50 = 0.301 mm; and (iii) with ball mill and D50 = 0.268 mm. These samples were analysed using the accelerated particle wear test, and the mineralogy and morphology of the particles were studied using X-ray diffraction and Scanning electron microscopy. Results indicate that if the particle size is larger than 0.4 mm, durability increases between 2 and 4 times compared to a usual sand sample. The jaw crusher generates a smaller number of fractures to the particles than the ball mill, increasing the durability of the sample. If these criteria are followed, marble wastes can be used in beach nourishment, becoming a circular economy asset, alleviating the adverse environmental impact, saving resources and energy and reducing the total cost of nourishments.

description: Three superdeformed (SD) bands have been found in 168Hf. Lifetime measurements revealed a large quadrupole moment, Qt ∼ 11.4 eb, for the strongest band (TSD1). Theoretical calculations using the Ultimate Cranker code predict high-spin SD minima (ε2 ∼ 0.43) with stable triaxial deformations of γ ∼ +20° and γ ∼ -15°. The measured Qt value suggests that band TSD1 corresponds, most likely, to a deformation with a positive γvalue. This constitutes the first evidence for triaxial superdeformation in an even proton system.

description: Controlling the properties of semiconductor/metal interfaces is a powerful method for designing functionality and improving the performance of electrical devices. Recently semiconductor/superconductor hybrids have appeared as an important example where the atomic scale uniformity of the interface plays a key role for the quality of the induced superconducting gap. Here we present epitaxial growth of semiconductor-metal core-shell nanowires by molecular beam epitaxy, a method that provides a conceptually new route to controlled electrical contacting of nanostructures and for designing devices for specialized applications such as topological and gate-controlled superconducting electronics. Our materials of choice, InAs/Al, are grown with epitaxially matched single plane interfaces, and alternative semiconductor/metal combinations allowing epitaxial interface matching in nanowires are discussed. We formulate the grain growth kinetics of the metal phase in general terms of continuum parameters and bicrystal symmetries. The method realizes the ultimate limit of uniform interfaces and appears to solve the soft-gap problem in superconducting hybrid structures.

description: Abstract:  Arvind Adiga the winner of the Man Booker Prize 2008,for his debut novel The white Tiger. He is an Indo-Australian writer who is popular for his novels. His novels shows social evils ,injustice and poverty things of the society. He express the reality of modern India and exposes the defining exploitative hierarchy of the people. When we look for our India’s economical growth, it is now same as America but if you observe the status of poor people of India ,you will find that they are in same situation as before. The research paper is an attempt to understand the stark and different truths of India in Arvind Adiga’s novel ‘The White Tiger’ and ‘Last man in Tower’ He mainly focused on the opposed bitter pictures of Indian social order and chase a man for freedom from wrapped slavery of human kind. Adiga’s novels targets understanding the realistic picture and actuality of incredible India but it also explains the globalization has influence and affected the life of poor people too.

description: We discuss various details of our derivation of the exact expression for the Adler D function in N=1 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD). This exact formula relates the D function to anomalous dimensions of the matter superfields. Our perturbative derivation refers to the D function defined in terms of the bare coupling constant in the case of using the higher covariant derivative regularization. The exact expression for this function is obtained by direct summation of supergraphs to all orders in the non-Abelian coupling constant. As we argued previously, our formula should be valid beyond perturbation theory too. The perturbative result we present here coincides with the general formula order by order. We discuss consequences for N=1 SQCD in the conformal window. It is noted that our exact relation can allow one to determine the (infrared) critical anomalous dimension of the Seiberg M field present in the dual theory.

description: We present near-infrared (1-2.5 micron) JHK photo-spectroscopic results of the unusually slow nova V5558 Sgr (2007). V5558 Sgr showed a slow climb to maximum that lasted for about 60 days and then underwent at least five strong secondary outbursts. We have analyzed the optical light curve to derive large t2 and t3 values of 281 +/- 3 and 473 +/- 3 days respectively. An alternate approach is adopted to derive a distance estimate of 1.55 +/- 0.25 kpc as conventional MMRD relation may not be applicable for a slow nova. In the pre-maxima stage the spectra showed narrow (FWHM ~ 400 - 550 km/s and strong emission lines of Paschen and Brackett series with prominent P-Cygni components. In the later phase the spectra show significant changes with the development of strong and broad ~ 1000 km/s emission lines of HI, HeI, OI, and NI and some uncommon Fe II emission lines. No evidence of dust formation is seen. V5558 Sgr has been shown to be a rare hybrid nova showing a transition from He/N to Fe II type from optical spectra. However the near-infrared data do not show such a transition and we discuss this anomalous behavior. A recombination analysis of the Brackett lines allows us to constrain the electron density and emission measure during the early optically thick phase and to estimate the mass of the ejecta to be (6.0 +/- 1.5) x 10^(-4) Msun, assuming a filling factor of unity, from later observations.

description: Excited states in the proton-unbound 173,175,177Au nuclei were identified for the first time. Level structures associated with three different shapes were observed in 175Au. While the yrast lines of 175Au and 177Au consist of a prolate band built upon the intruder 1/2+[660] (i13/2) proton orbital, no sign of collectivity was observed in the lighter 173Au isotope. Implications for the deformation associated with these structures are discussed with a focus on shape co-existence in the vicinity of the proton-drip line.
title: Climate change and socioeconomic transformations in the Late Antique Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East
Creators: name: Jacobson, Matthew J.
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: Predicting the nature and societal impacts of future climate change requires the publication of a dense network of palaeoclimate proxy records and multi-scalar examination of past human-environment-climate relationships. In the study region of this thesis, the Late Antique (3rd-7th centuries CE) Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, there are deficiencies in both disciplines: spatio-temporal gaps in the network of records, frequent use of records to discuss disparate regions, and a bias towards studying the Byzantine Empire. This interdisciplinary thesis contributes to the fields of palaeoclimatology, archaeology, and history, through three case-studies presented as four stand-alone journal articles. The main case-study, which is examined as a micro-region, to ensure datasets are proximate and comparable, is SW Anatolia (Turkey). Following the production of a new speleothem-based palaeoclimate record from Kocain Cave (Chapter 3) and a new archaeological dataset of 381 settlements (Chapter 4), evidence from this region is sufficient for analysis of human-climate-environment relationships. Climate change is found to be unimportant for settlement expansion in the Roman Imperial Period. Whilst a shift to drier conditions after 460 CE is initially adapted to, settlement abandonment occured at least a century later, following further drying and a combination of other factors. Chapters 5 and 6 present two additional case-studies for polities which have previously not been studied in relation to climatic factors – the Kingdom of Himyar and the Sasanian Empire. A new speleothem-based record from Hoti Cave (Oman, Chapter 5) reveals its driest conditions at the start of the 6th century CE, which are argued to have weakened the Kingdom of Himyar leading to cascading socio-political change. Conversely, coincident dry conditions in the Sasanian Empire (Chapter 6) had no impact, with the empire’s most significant growth-phase continuing unabated. Mitigation strategies against future climate change can be informed by further study of past societal responses.

description: We consider formulations of the functional renormaliztion-group flow for correlated electronic systems, having the dynamical mean-field theory as a starting point. We classify the corresponding renormalization-group schemes into those neglecting the one-particle irreducible (with respect to the local Green functions) six-point vertices and neglecting one-particle reducible six-point vertices. The former class is represented by the recently introduced DMF$^{2}$RG approach [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 196402 (2014)], but also by the scale-dependent generalization of the one-particle irreducible (with respect to local Green functions, 1PI-LGF) representation of the generating functional [Phys. Rev. B 88, 115112 (2013)]. The second class is represented by the fRG flow within the dual fermion (DF) approach [Phys. Rev. B 77, 033101 (2008); ArXiv 1411.1342]. We compare formulations of fRG approach in each of these cases and suggest their further application to study 2D systems within the Hubbard model.

description: We investigate the globular cluster system of the isolated elliptical NGC 7796, present new photometry of the galaxy, and use published kinematical data to constrain the dark matter content. Deep images in B and R, obtained with the VIsible MultiObject Spectrograph (VIMOS) at the VLT, form the data base. We present isotropic and anisotropic Jeans-models and give a morphological description of the companion dwarf galaxy. The globular cluster system has about 2000 members, so it is not as rich as those of giant ellipticals in galaxy clusters with a comparable stellar mass, but richer than many cluster systems of other isolated ellipticals. The colour distribution of GCs is bimodal, which does not necessarily mean a metallicity bimodality. The kinematic literature data are somewhat inconclusive. The velocity dispersion in the inner parts can be reproduced without dark matter under isotropy. Radially anisotropic models need a low stellar mass-to-light ratio, which would contrast with the old age of the galaxy. A MONDian model is supported by X-ray analysis and previous dynamical modelling, but better data are necessary for a confirmation. The dwarf companion galaxy NGC 7796-1 exhibits tidal tails, multiple nuclei, and very boxy isophotes. NGC 7796 is an old, massive isolated elliptical galaxy with no indications of later major star formation events as seen frequently in other isolated ellipticals. Its relatively rich globular cluster system shows that isolation does not always mean a poor cluster system. The properties of the dwarf companion might indicate a dwarf-dwarf merger. (abridged)

description: The effect of defects on the percolation of linear $k$-mers (particles occupying $k$ adjacent sites) on a square lattice is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation. The $k$-mers are deposited using a random sequential adsorption mechanism. Two models, $L_d$ and $K_d$, are analyzed. In the $L_d$ model, it is assumed that the initial square lattice is non-ideal and some fraction of sites, $d$, is occupied by non-conducting point defects (impurities). In the $K_d$ model, the initial square lattice is perfect. However, it is assumed that some fraction of the sites in the $k$-mers, $d$, consists of defects, i.e., are non-conducting. The length of the $k$-mers, $k$, varies from 2 to 256. Periodic boundary conditions are applied to the square lattice. The dependencies of the percolation threshold concentration of the conducting sites, $p_c$, vs the concentration of defects, $d$, were analyzed for different values of $k$. Above some critical concentration of defects, $d_m$, percolation is blocked in both models, even at the jamming concentration of $k$-mers. For long $k$-mers, the values of $d_m$ are well fitted by the functions $d_m \propto k_m^{-α}-k^{-α}$ ($α= 1.28 \pm 0.01$, $k_m = 5900 \pm 500$) and $d_m \propto \log (k_m/k)$ ($k_m = 4700 \pm 1000$ ), for the $L_d$ and $K_d$ models, respectively. Thus, our estimation indicates that the percolation of $k$-mers on a square lattice is impossible even for a lattice without any defects if $k\gtrapprox 6 \times 10^3$.

description: Based on the exact solution of Boltzmann kinetic equation in the relaxation-time approximation, the precision of the two most recent formulations of relativistic second-order non-conformal viscous hydrodynamics (14-moment approximation and causal Chapman-Enskog method), standard Israel-Stewart theory, and anisotropic hydrodynamics framework, in the simple case of one-dimensional Bjorken expansion, is tested. It is demonstrated that the failure of Israel-Stewart theory in reproducing exact solutions of the Boltzmann kinetic equation occurs due to neglecting and/or choosing wrong forms of some of the second-order transport coefficients. In particular, the importance of shear--bulk couplings in the evolution equations for dissipative quantities is shown. One finds that, in the case of the bulk viscous pressure correction, such coupling terms are as important as the corresponding first-order Navier-Stokes term and must be included in order to obtain, at least qualitative, overall agreement with the kinetic theory.

description: Excited states in 126Ce have been observed with the GAMMASPHERE γ-ray detector array, used in conjunction with the MICROBALL charged-particle detector. The reaction 64Zn(64Zn, xpn α) (beam energy 260 MeV) was used to populate a wide range of nuclei in the neutron-deficient region with A ≈ 120. 126Ce was populated via the 2p evaporation channel. The three previously observed bands have been extended to higher spins and some other structures have been identified. The yrast band shows evidence of a delayed neutron alignment occurring at a rotational frequency ω≈0.5 MeV/ℏ as observed in the neighboring odd-/4 nucleus 127Pr. One of the two excited bands shows evidence for a similar crossing at a slightly lower frequency and also exhibits a sudden gain in alignment at ω=0.57 MeV/ℏ. The third band may involve the coupling of a γ-vibrational state. All three rotational bands are discussed in terms of standard and extended cranked shell model calculations.

description: Abstract:  More than 80% of sewage generated by human activities is discharged into rivers and oceans without any treatment, which results in environmental pollution and more than 50 diseases. 80% of diseases and 50% of child deaths worldwide are related to poor water quality. This study studied how drinking water quality impact human health. This study uses the normative survey method to collect the respective data on the field of research. The population of this study all the households and heads of the family in the Tahisal of Balapur is the population for this study. In this population total, 100 respondents/head of the family has been selected for this study to collect data on the quality of drinking water and the health status of their family. In this study indicated The significant impact of the quality of drinking water on human health. Those families have to use the quality of drinking water if their health status is good and if those people or family does not maintain the drinking water quality their family member’s health status is not satisfactory. Introduction:  Water is an essential resource for human survival. According to UNESCO's World Water Development Report 2021, global freshwater use has increased sixfold over the past 100 years and has been growing at around 1% per year since the 1980s. As water consumption increases, water quality faces serious challenges. Industrialization, agricultural production, and urban life result in environmental degradation and pollution, adversely affecting water bodies (rivers and oceans) necessary for life, which ultimately affects human health and sustainable social development (Xu et al., 2022a). Globally, an estimated 80% of industrial and municipal wastewater is discharged into the environment without any prior treatment, with adverse effects on human health and ecosystems. This proportion is higher in the least developed countries, where there is a significant lack of sanitation and wastewater treatment facilities.

description: The connection between the non-equilibrium dynamics of isolated quantum many-body systems and statistical mechanics is a fundamental open question. It is generally believed that the unitary quantum evolution of a sufficiently complex system leads to an apparent maximum-entropy state that can be described by thermodynamical ensembles. However, conventional ensembles fail to describe the large class of systems that exhibit non-trivial conserved quantities. Instead, generalized ensembles have been predicted to maximize entropy in these systems. In our experiments we explicitly show that a degenerate one-dimensional Bose gas relaxes to a state that can be described by such a generalized ensemble. This is verified through a detailed study of correlation functions up to 10th order. The applicability of the generalized ensemble description for isolated quantum many-body systems points to a natural emergence of classical statistical properties from the microscopic unitary quantum evolution.

description: We present general expressions for the magnetic transition rates in beam Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) experiments of anisotropic spin systems in the solid state. The expressions apply to general spin centers and arbitrary excitation geometry (Voigt, Faraday, and intermediate). They work for linear and circular polarized as well as unpolarized excitation, and for crystals and powders. The expressions are based on the concept of the (complex) magnetic transition dipole moment vector. Using the new theory, we determine the parities of ground and excited spin states of high-spin (S = 5/2) Fe(III) in hemin from the polarization dependence of experimental ground state EPR line intensities.

description: Abstract- The present study status of Agro-tourism development of rural areas in western Maharashtra. The study region is mainly agrarian having 82.24 percent net sown area of the total geographical area. Agro tourism is one such form of tourism which has recently emerged in Maharashtra. Agro tourism for farmers is considered as “A range of activities, service and amenities provided by farmers and rural people to attract tourist to their area in order to generate extra income for their business”. Agro tourism for tourist is considered as anything that connect tourist with the heritage, natural resource unique to the agricultural industry. Agro tourism involves any agriculturally based operation that brings visitors to farm a ranch. Western Maharashtra has great potential to the development of agro tourism, because of natural conditions and different type of agro products as well as variety of natural traditions, festivals. It gives an opportunity to the tourists to experience rural life, taste the traditional food and to live a peaceful environment.
