description: \textsc{Quantum Package} is an open-source programming environment for quantum chemistry specially designed for wave function methods. Its main goal is the development of determinant-driven selected configuration interaction (sCI) methods and multi-reference second-order perturbation theory (PT2). The determinant-driven framework allows the programmer to include any arbitrary set of determinants in the reference space, hence providing greater methodological freedoms. The sCI method implemented in \textsc{Quantum Package} is based on the CIPSI (Configuration Interaction using a Perturbative Selection made Iteratively) algorithm which complements the variational sCI energy with a PT2 correction. Additional external plugins have been recently added to perform calculations with multireference coupled cluster theory and range-separated density-functional theory. All the programs are developed with the IRPF90 code generator, which simplifies collaborative work and the development of new features. \textsc{Quantum Package} strives to allow easy implementation and experimentation of new methods, while making parallel computation as simple and efficient as possible on modern supercomputer architectures. Currently, the code enables, routinely, to realize runs on roughly 2\,000 CPU cores, with tens of millions of determinants in the reference space. Moreover, we have been able to push up to 12\,288 cores in order to test its parallel efficiency. In the present manuscript, we also introduce some key new developments: i) a renormalized second-order perturbative correction for efficient extrapolation to the full CI limit, and ii) a stochastic version of the CIPSI selection performed simultaneously to the PT2 calculation at no extra cost.

description: Applications of perturbative QCD to deeply virtual Compton scattering and hard exclusive electroproduction processes require a generalization of usual parton distributions for the case when long-distance information is accumulated in nonforward matrix elements of quark and gluon light-cone operators. We describe two types of nonperturbative functions parametrizing such matrix elements: double distributions F(x,y;t) and nonforward distribution functions F_ζ(X;t), discuss their spectral properties, evolution equations which they satisfy, basic uses and general aspects of factorization for hard exclusive processes.

description: Although vaccination is regarded as one of the most significant achievements of public health, there also exists the phenomenon of vaccination hesitancy which refers to delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccination despite availability of vaccination services. In this study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of vaccination hesitancy research from 2013 to 2022. All related publications were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection Database. Information on annual publications, countries, organizations, journals, authors, keywords, and documents was analyzed adopting the bibliometix R-package, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace software. A total of 4042 publications were enrolled. The annual publications increased slightly before 2020 but had an extremely dramatic increase from 2020 to 2022. The United States contributed the most articles and had the greatest collaboration with other countries and organizations. The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine was the most active institution. Vaccine was the most cited and influential journal while Vaccines was the most productive journal. It was Dube E who was the most productive authors with the highest h-index. The most frequent keywords were “vaccine hesitancy,” “COVID-19,” “SARS-CoV2,” “immunization,” “attitudes,” and “willingness.” Vaccination hesitancy to some extent hinders the achievement of global public health. The influencing factors vary across time, space, and vaccines. The COVID-19 pandemic and the development of COVID-19 vaccines have made this issue the focus of interest. The complexity and specific contexts of influencing factors of vaccination hesitancy require further study and will potentially be the focus of future research direction.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management will require monitoring of the status and trends in populations of top predators such as dolphins and porpoises. Existing monitoring, as required under (for example) the Habitats Directive typically involves collection of information on distribution, abundance, health status, and specific threats such as fishery bycatch. Here, we examine the types of information on population status which can be derived from cetacean strandings monitoring schemes (e.g. health and life‐history parameters), and some of the inherent problems and biases. We illustrate this discussion using data collected on harbour porpoises in Scotland during 1992–2005. Specific findings include geographical differences in age distribution related to particular causes of mortality (e.g. fatal interactions with bottlenose dolphins), a low (but probably biased) estimate of pregnancy rate (reflecting the small number of “healthy” adult females in the sample) and evidence of increasing mortality rate (e.g. fewer animals over 10 years old in later years)

description: We consider a model of strongly correlated $e_g$ electrons interacting by superexchange orbital interactions in the ferromagnetic phase of LaMnO$_3$. It is found that the classical orbital order with alternating occupied $e_g$ orbitals has a full rotational symmetry at orbital degeneracy, and the excitation spectrum derived using the linear spin-wave theory is gapless. The quantum (fluctuation) corrections to the order parameter and to the ground state energy restore the cubic symmetry of the model. By applying a uniaxial pressure orbital degeneracy is lifted in a tetragonal field and one finds an orbital-flop phase with a gap in the excitation spectrum. In two dimensions the classical order is more robust near the orbital degeneracy point and quantum effects are suppressed. The orbital excitation spectra obtained using finite temperature diagonalization of two-dimensional clusters consist of a quasiparticle accompanied by satellite structures. The orbital waves found within the linear spin-wave theory provide an excellent description of the dominant pole of these spectra.

description: Aims: We want to detect and quantify observables related to accretion processes occurring locally in circumstellar disks, which could be attributed to young forming planets. We focus on objects known to host protoplanet candidates and/or disk structures thought to be the result of interactions with planets. Methods: We analyzed observations of 6 young stars (age $3.5-10$ Myr) and their surrounding environments with the SPHERE/ZIMPOL instrument on the VLT in the H$α$ filter (656 nm) and a nearby continuum filter (644.9 nm). Results: We re-detect the known accreting M-star companion HD142527 B with the highest published signal to noise to date in both H$α$ and the continuum. We derive new astrometry ($r = 62.8^{+2.1}_{-2.7}$ mas and $\text{PA} = (98.7\,\pm1.8)^\circ$) and photometry ($Δ$N_Ha=$6.3^{+0.2}_{-0.3}$ mag, $Δ$B_Ha=$6.7\pm0.2$ mag and $Δ$Cnt_Ha=$7.3^{+0.3}_{-0.2}$ mag) for the companion in agreement with previous studies, and estimate its mass accretion rate ($\dot{M}\approx1-2\,\times10^{-10}\,M_\odot\text{ yr}^{-1}$). A faint point-like source around HD135344 B (SAO206462) is also investigated, but a second deeper observation is required to reveal its nature. No other companions are detected. In the framework of our assumptions we estimate detection limits at the locations of companion candidates around HD100546, HD169142 and MWC758 and calculate that processes involving H$α$ fluxes larger than $\sim8\times10^{-14}-10^{-15}\,\text{erg/s/cm}^2$ ($\dot{M}>10^{-10}-10^{-12}\,M_\odot\text{ yr}^{-1}$) can be excluded. Furthermore, flux upper limits of $\sim10^{-14}-10^{-15}\,\text{erg/s/cm}^2$ ($\dot{M}<10^{-11}-10^{-12}\,M_\odot \text{ yr}^{-1}$) are estimated within the gaps identified in the disks surrounding HD135344B and TW Hya.

Disambiguating Temporal Phrases: the ʻαπο-ʼ and ʻsince-ʼ Comparison
Creators: name: Psaltou-Joycey, Angeliki
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 1993

description: The Greek ʻαπό - temporal phraseʼ and the English ʻsince- temporal phraseʼ both denote a past temporal interval in the respective languages, the initial point of which is given by the accompanying temporal phrase. As regards the terminal point of the interval this is the moment of speech (MOS) when the above adverbials collocate with the Perfect. However, despite their similarities in the specification of time and their selection of grammatical caregories, they differ a great deal in the semantic restrictions imposed by rheir interaction with the types of situations selected and their expression in the Perfect. Ιn this paper it is argued that the attested differences are due to a) the semantic values which characterize the two Perfects, and b) the inherent aspectual properties of the situations. It is furher argued that the two intervals denoted by the από- and since – adverbials, although both definite with well defined end-points, offer a different time specification ιο the situations in the Greek and English Perfect.

Grammatical Gender and Sex

description: Although Greek nouns, as opposed tο English nouns, are divided into three major gender classes, they do not reflect any direct correlation between biological gender, i.e. sex, and grammatical gender. Yet Greek nouns, personal pronouns and epithets involved in reference tο males, females and inanimate things, are, for the most part, οf masculine, feminine and neuter grammatical gender, respectively. When it comes tο referential/attitudinal differentiation and/or attribution/connotation, however, there are several cases, which are, as one would expect, far more numerous in Greek than in English , which manifest a clash between the biological gender of the referent and the grammatical gender of (the head of) the attributive/connotative expression. In the present paper Ι support that such cases reveal options on the part οf the speaker which are determined by socio-semantic and pragmatic parameters.

description: In a population of Round Stingrays (Urobatis halleri) sampled from mainland California (polychlorinated biphenyl [PCB] exposed site, n = 46), relative to a nearby offshore island (reference site, n = 34), we tested the hypothesis that stingrays from the PCB-exposed site would have a compromised stress response. Adult male and pregnant female (pregnancy = matrotrophic histotrophy), stingrays were captured via hook and line at both locations over a breeding season and plasma was sampled either immediately (Baseline, males = 10, females = 31), or after ∼5 min of struggle on the line followed by a 15 min confinement stressor (Stressed, males = 16, females = 23). Biomarkers of the primary stress response (1α-OH-corticosterone) and the secondary response (energy mobilization; glucose, glycogen, and lactate in liver and muscle) were assessed. Females from both sites demonstrated the expected primary stress response of 1α-OH-corticosterone elevation, but the contaminant-exposed males did not. PCB-exposed stingrays, regardless of sex, failed to produce a plasma glucose increase in response to the applied stress, even though the stressor increased liver glucose as expected. This suggests a dysfunction in glucose transport due to PCB exposure. The Round Stingray accumulates lower PCB loads than other, predatory elasmobranchs, and by extension, the stress axis effects could be more severely impacted in those species as well.Lay summaryLegacy polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination continues to adversely affect marine life. We show that PCB-exposure interferes with the ability of pregnant female and adult male stingrays to mobilize the energy necessary to respond appropriately to an acute stress like capture. Other cartilaginous fish species, such as sharks, accumulate considerably more PCB as a result of their predatory diet, and are likely to be more adversely impacted.

description: We consider the class of semi-transitively orientable graphs, which is a much larger class of graphs compared to transitively orientable graphs, in other words, comparability graphs. Ever since the concept of a semi-transitive orientation was defined as a crucial ingredient of the characterization of alternation graphs, also knownas word-representable graphs, it has sparked independent interest. In this paper, we investigate graph operations and graph products that preserve semitransitive orientability of graphs. The main theme of this paper is to determine which graph operations satisfy the following statement: if a graph operation is possible on a semitransitively orientable graph, then the same graph operation can be executed on the graph while preserving the semi-transitive orientability. We were able to prove that this statement is true for edge-deletions, edge-additions, and edge-liftings. Moreover, for all three graph operations,we showthat the initial semi-transitive orientation can be extended to the new graph obtained by the graph operation. Also, Kitaev and Lozin explicitly asked if certain graph products preserve the semitransitive orientability. We answer their question in the negative for the tensor product, lexicographic product, and strong product.We also push the investigation further and initiate the study of sufficient conditions that guarantee a certain graph operation to preserve the semi-transitive orientability.

description: A two-tier service system consists of free and toll channels with its toll revenue reinvested in service capacity. In this study, we develop two models with revenue reinvestment in either the free or the toll system. Similar to the congestion problem in an urban transportation network, we investigate whether the Downs–Thomson paradox occurs in the cases where an additional free service capacity is increased. Based on the relations between the major performance measures (such as the customer waiting time, toll system revenue, and total social cost) and the key system parameters and decision variables (such as the traffic intensity, proportion of revenue invested in capacity expansion, toll system price, and service cost of the free or toll system), we find that the Downs–Thomson paradox in terms of total social cost may exist. The findings provide managerial insights if an additional budget is invested to expand the free service capacity.

description: Vaccine hesitancy has become a threat to public health, especially as it is a phenomenon that has also been observed among healthcare professionals. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between endorsement of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and vaccination attitudes and behaviors among healthcare professionals, using a cross-sectional sample of physicians with vaccination responsibilities from four European countries: Germany, Finland, Portugal, and France (total N = 2,787). Our results suggest that, in all the participating countries, CAM endorsement is associated with lower frequency of vaccine recommendation, lower self-vaccination rates, and being more open to patients delaying vaccination, with these relationships being mediated by distrust in vaccines. A latent profile analysis revealed that a profile characterized by higher-than-average CAM endorsement and lower-than-average confidence and recommendation of vaccines occurs, to some degree, among 19% of the total sample, although these percentages varied from one country to another: 23.72% in Germany, 17.83% in France, 9.77% in Finland, and 5.86% in Portugal. These results constitute a call to consider health care professionals’ attitudes toward CAM as a factor that could hinder the implementation of immunization campaigns.

description: We discuss the coupled Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations for a complex scalar field with and without a quartic self-interaction in a zero curvature Friedman-Lema\^ıtre Universe. The complex scalar field, as well as the metric, is decomposed in a homogeneous, isotropic part (the background) and in first order gauge invariant scalar perturbation terms. The background equations can be written as a set of four coupled first order non-linear differential equations. These equations are analyzed using modern theory of dynamical system. It is shown that, in all singular points where inflation occurs, the phase of the complex scalar field is asymptotically constant. The analysis of the first order equations is done for the inflationary phase. For the short wavelength regime the first order perturbation term of the complex scalar field is smeared out and the Bardeen potential oscillates around a nearly constant mean value. Whereas for the long wavelength regime the first order perturbed quantities increase.

Dark Matter Decaying into Millicharged Particles as a Solution to AMS 02 Positron Excess

description: The positron excess observed by PAMELA and then confirmed by AMS 02 has intrigued the particle physics community since 2008. Various dark matter decay and annihilation models have been built to explain the excess. However, the bounds from isotropic gamma ray disfavor the canonical dark matter decay scenario. We propose a solution to this excess based on the decay of dark matter particles into intermediate millicharged particles which can be trapped by the galactic magnetic field. The subsequent decay of the millicharged particles to electron positron in our vicinity can explain the excess. Since these particles diffuse out of halo before decay, their contribution to the isotropic gamma ray background is expected to be much smaller than that in canonic dark matter decay scenarios. We show that the model is testable by direct dark matter search experiments.

description: With the development of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, there have been doubts about the necessity of vaccine boosters for healthy adults. However, due to the lack of relevant evidence, current research is unable to provide reliable medical advice for COVID-19 boost in healthy adults. We conducted a retrospective observational study to evaluate the effectiveness of different COVID-19 vaccination regimens by investigating the SARS-CoV-2 infection status of healthy donors in Southeast China. From December 2022 to February 2023, 737 healthy adult blood donors were analyzed. Results showed that any COVID-19 vaccine boosts reduced the risk of Omicron BA.5.2/BF.7 infection compared to only receiving prime vaccination (rVE = 16%, 95%CI = 4, 27%). The second boost further enhanced vaccine effectiveness compared to the received first booster (rVE = 39%, 95%CI = 16, 55%). Through retrospective observation of healthy adults during the BA.5.2/BF.7 surge in China, we found that boost vaccinations significantly reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease. Findings show healthy adults benefit from boost vaccinations, even if not at high-risk for severe COVID-19.

description: We evaluate the limit distribution of the maximal excursion of a random walk in any dimension for homogeneous environments and for self-similar supports under the assumption of spherical symmetry. This distribution is obtained in closed form and is an approximation of the exact distribution comparable to that obtained by real space renormalization methods. Then we focus on the early time behaviour of this quantity. The instantaneous diffusion exponent $ν_n$ exhibits a systematic overshooting of the long time exponent. Exact results are obtained in one dimension up to third order in $n^{-1/2}$. In two dimensions, on a regular lattice and on the Sierpiński gasket we find numerically that the analytic scaling $ν_n \simeq ν+A n^{-ν}$ holds.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Seals and humans are both top predators in many marine ecosystems, often targeting the same food resource, leading to possible competition. This long‐standing contentious issue is of mounting concern with fish stocks in global decline. With advances in telemetry technologies it is possible to track top marine predators at sea for extended periods and relate their distribution to that of the resource. However, it is difficult to obtain spatially and temporally discrete resource distribution data. Spatially and temporally explicit data are, however, now available for fishing activity from vessel monitoring system (VMS). Using this we can study the overlap of foraging activity for both seals and fishing vessels, and to examine whether or not overlap in space and time can be interpreted in terms of resource exploitation overlap. We used VMS and fast acquisition GPS to compare the distribution of fisheries and seals in Irish waters on the same spatial and temporal scale to quantify overlap. Our findings suggest a significantly low rate of spatial overlap between all grey seals tagged and the offshore whitefish fishery on the Irish continental shelf. If the sample is representative of the population of grey seals using Irish waters, it suggests direct competition for the resource may be far less than expected. Seal–fishery interactions in Irish waters may therefore be more of an issue at the operational and individual level (damage to gear and catch), suggesting that seal population management measures will be ineffective and therefore unjustifiable.

description: We find four-dimensional de Sitter compactifications of type IIA supergravity by directly solving the ten-dimensional equations of motion. In the simplest examples, the internal space has the topology of a circle times an Einstein manifold of negative curvature. An orientifold acts on the circle with two fixed loci, at which an O8$_-$ and an O8$_+$ plane sit. These orientifold planes are fully backreacted and localized. While the solutions are numerical, the charge and tension of the orientifold planes can be verified analytically. Our solutions have moduli at tree level and can be made parametrically weakly-coupled and weakly-curved. Their fate in string theory depends on quantum corrections.

description: Objective: To investigate whether alcohol use is associated with deepened periodontal pockets and whether this association is dependent on age, gender or socioeconomic position (SEP). Material and methods: This cross-sectional study, based on the Health 2000 Survey, consisted of dentate, non-smoking Finnish adults aged 30−65 years (n = 3059). The outcome was the number of teeth with deepened (≥4 mm) periodontal pockets. The exposure was self-reported alcohol use assessed as amount, frequency, and use over the risk limit. Zero-inflated negative binomial regression models were used to estimate relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results: In this study, alcohol use did not consistently associate with the number of teeth with deepened periodontal pockets. An association with the number of teeth with deepened periodontal pockets was found among men, older participants, and those participants belonging to basic or intermediate educational groups. An association with poor periodontal health was observed among men or older participants who belonged to the basic or intermediate educational group, whereas such associations were not observed among those participants belonging to the higher educational group. Conclusions: The association between alcohol use and periodontal health appears to be confounded by individual characteristics such as age, gender, and especially one’s SEP.
Apologies in English and Modern Greek

description: The aim of this paper is to investigate the realization of the speech act of apologizing in English and Modern Greek. Following the strategies of apologizing proposed by Olshtain and Cohen (1983) an attempt is made to examine their realization and frequency of occurrence in the two languages under consideration. The results will be seen in the light of similarities and differences between the two sociocultural systems. In particular reference will be made to the notion of politeness, which seems to affect the realization of the speech act of apologizing. We hope that the results of this study will be useful to anybody who is interested in successful cross-cultural interactions.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Forage fish species in the Bay of Biscay have exhibited substantial changes (in abundance and distribution), including the recent “collapse” of the European anchovy. Owing to the central position of small pelagics in marine ecosystems, stock‐specific management measures are expected to have consequences on other ecosystem components and, more broadly, on the foodweb dynamics. Small cetaceans are present all year long, feeding and breeding in the area. The Bay of Biscay is also heavily used as a migration route and as a wintering area by an important community of marine birds. The objective of this work was to evaluate the degree to which interactions between fisheries and top predators may occur in this ecosystem and to what extent it could affect the conservation of upper consumers. As a first step, a mass‐balanced model of the continental shelf of the Bay of Biscay was created, in which apex predators totalized seven compartments. Landing and discards were estimated for all of the commercially exploited benthic and pelagic groups. Incidental captures for porpoises, small dolphins, and long‐finned pilot whales were assessed to take into account fishery impacts not only related to prey availability (competition) but also to bycatch (negative operational interaction). The ecosystem appeared strongly “bottom‐up” controlled and high‐trophic status species were not identified as keystone groups. Moreover, no substantial interaction between fisheries and top predators emerged from the MTI (mixed trophic impacts) analysis. Furthermore, in this way, time predictions using plausible scenarios of fishing on sardine and anchovy are under progress and will provide significant new insights.

Microscopic analysis of thermo-orientation in systems of off-centre Lennard-Jones particles

description: When fluids of anisotropic molecules are placed in temperature gradients, the molecules may align themselves along the gradient: this is called thermo-orientation. We discuss the theory of this effect in a fluid of particles that interact by a spherically symmetric potential, where the particles' centres of mass do not coincide with their interaction centres. Starting from the equations of motion of the molecules, we show how a simple assumption of local equipartition of energy can be used to predict the thermo-orientation effect, recovering the result of Wirnsberger et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 226001 (2018)]. Within this approach, we show that for particles with a single interaction centre, the thermal centre of the molecule must coincide with the interaction centre. The theory also explains the coupling between orientation and kinetic energy that is associated with this non-Boltzmann distribution. We discuss deviations from this local equipartition assumption, showing that these can occur in linear response to a temperature gradient. We also present numerical simulations showing significant deviations from the local equipartition predictions, which increase as the centre of mass of the molecule is displaced further from its interaction centre.

description: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a potentially fatal complication following kidney transplantation, and there is a critical and unmet need for PTLD treatments associated with more pronounced and durable responses. To date, reports on the use of CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T (CAR-T) cells in patients after solid organ transplant (SOT) have been anecdotal, clinical presentations and outcomes have been heterogenous, and a longitudinal analysis of CAR-T cell expansion and persistence in PTLD patients has not been reported. Our report describes a patient with a history of renal transplant who received CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy for the treatment of refractory PTLD, diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-type. We show that even with the background of prolonged immunosuppression for SOT, it is possible to generate autologous CAR-T products capable of expansion and persistence in vivo, without evidence of excess T-cell exhaustion. Our data indicate that CAR-T cells generated from a SOT recipient with PTLD can yield deep remissions without increased toxicity or renal allograft dysfunction. Future clinical studies should build on these findings to investigate CAR-T therapy, including longitudinal monitoring of CAR-T phenotype and function, for PTLD in SOT recipients.

description: QCD corrections to top quark pair production via fusion of both polarized and unpolarized photons are calculated in Supersymmetric Model. The corrections are found to be sizable. The dependence of the corrections on the masses of the supersymmetric particles is also investigated. Furthermore, we studied CP asymmetry effects arising from the complex couplings in the MSSM. The CP violating parameter can reach $10^{-2}$ for favorable parameter values.

Mother-Tongue in the Second Language Classroom: an Experimental Study into Effects on the Attitudes and Writing Performance of Bilingual UK School Children

description: Controversy continues to surround the use of the mother-tongue in second language classrooms. While some argue that learning a second language is like learning the first, and that the mother-tongue therefore has no place, others claim it has an important and positive role to play. The study reported here was conducted in primary schools in two UK bilingual settings: North Wales (Welsh / English) and Lancashire (Μirpur Punjabi / English). During a three-month experimental period, teachers did parallel pre-writing activities with comparable pairs of classes. Some classes had Punjabi or Welsh (the mother-tongue) as the language of their pre-writing activity, and the others had Eng1ish (the second language). Pre- and post-tests included writing tasks and an attitude inventory. Αlthough some of the attitudes (to writing, self, ethnic identity, school, and Britain) grew significantly more favourable in the mother-tongue groups over this period, these changes were not matched by any recorded improvements in writing performance, where there were some signs that the second language preparation was the more beneficial.
