description: We develop the representation theory for reductive linear differential algebraic groups (LDAGs). In particular, we exhibit an explicit sharp upper bound for orders of derivatives in differential representations of reductive LDAGs, extending existing results, which were obtained for SL(2) in the case of just one derivation. As an application of the above bound, we develop an algorithm that tests whether the parameterized differential Galois group of a system of linear differential equations is reductive and, if it is, calculates it.

description: Nowadays, the availability of fish oil from pelagic fisheries has been declining, and the demand of high-value fatty acids from the aquaculture sector and the ω-3 market has been rapidly increasing. Microalgae are a natural source of ω-3 PUFAs, since they constitute the primary producers of all the eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids in marine food webs. Still, their exploitation on industrial scale is scarce, mainly due to the lack of highly performant strains. Classical breeding constitutes an incredible source of genetic diversification in microalgae, bypassing the controversial issue of genetic modified organisms (GMOs), and a novel approach for strain improvement in biotechnological processes. After an extensive bibliographic research, we chose to work with heterothallic diatoms in the framework of the H2020 NewTechAqua project. For these species, gametogenesis only occurs when two sexually-compatible strains get physical contact while they both are in the adequate phase of their life cycle. Therefore, they are particularly suitable for controlled manipulation of sexual encounters and isolation of progeny strains with unique genetic heritage and, potentially, improved biotechnological traits. Our study screened for sexual activity of 35 strains belonging to eight diatom species, mixing them in all pairwise combinations. Crossbreeding experiments worked for the species Seminavis robusta only. Single cells of fourty-three sexual descendants were isolated from three breeding pairs and successfully developed into new monoclonal cultures. Further studies will address the potential of the recombined strains for biotechnological applications. Our findings will ultimately contribute to achieve a more sustainable, resilient and cost-effective European aquaculture.

description: The interplay between the superradiant emission of a cloud of cold two-level atoms and the radiation pressure force is discussed. Using a microscopic model of coupled atomic dipoles driven by an external laser, the radiation field and the average radiation pressure force are derived. A relation between the far-field scattered intensity and the force is derived, using the optical theorem. Finally, the scaling of the sample scattering cross section with the parameters of the system is studied.

description: Deconfined quantum criticality of two-dimensional $SU(2)$ quantum antiferromagnets featuring a transition from an antiferromagnetically ordered ground state to a so-called valence-bond solid state, is governed by a non-compact CP$^1$ model with a Maxwell term in 2+1 spacetime dimensions. We introduce a new perspective on deconfined quantum criticality within a field-theoretic framework based on an expansion in powers of $ε=4-d$ for fixed number $N$ of complex matter fields. We show that in the allegedly weak first-order transition regime, a so-called conformal phase transition leads to a genuine deconfined quantum critical point. In such a transition, the gap vanishes when the critical point is approached from above and diverges when it is approached from below. We also find that the spin stiffness has a universal jump at the critical point.

description: Recently the AMS-02 experiment has released the data of positron fraction with much small statistical error. Because of the small error, it is no longer easy to fit the data with a single dark matter for a fixed diffusion model and dark matter profile. In this paper, we propose a new interpretation of the data that it originates from decay of two dark matter. This interpretation gives a rough threshold of the lighter DM component. When DM decays into leptons, the positron fraction in the cosmic ray depends on the flavor of the final states, and this is fixed by imposing non-Abelian discrete symmetry in our model. By assuming two gauge-singlet fermionic decaying DM particles, we show that a model with non-Abelian discrete flavor symmetry, e.g. $T_{13}$, can give a much better fitting to the AMS-02 data compared with single dark matter scenario. Few dimension six operators of universal leptonic decay of DM particles are allowed in our model since its decay operators are constrained by the $T_{13}$ symmetry. We also show that the lepton masses and mixings are consistent with current experimental data, due to the flavor symmetry.

description: The Kepler-11 planetary system contains six transiting planets ranging in size from 1.8 to 4.2 times the radius of Earth. Five of these planets orbit in a tightly-packed configuration with periods between 10 and 47 days. We perform a dynamical analysis of the system based upon transit timing variations observed in more than three years of \ik photometric data. Stellar parameters are derived using a combination of spectral classification and constraints on the star's density derived from transit profiles together with planetary eccentricity vectors provided by our dynamical study. Combining masses of the planets relative to the star from our dynamical study and radii of the planets relative to the star from transit depths together with deduced stellar properties yields measurements of the radii of all six planets, masses of the five inner planets, and an upper bound to the mass of the outermost planet, whose orbital period is 118 days. We find mass-radius combinations for all six planets that imply that substantial fractions of their volumes are occupied by constituents that are less dense than rock. The Kepler-11 system contains the lowest mass exoplanets for which both mass and radius have been measured.

description: Study Problem: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected human life globally in many ways. Many countries responded differently by taking different public health preventive, protective and curative measures to fight against the pandemic. It has resulted in many actions such as different levels of social restrictions, wearing of masks, and avoidance of hand shaking and even shutting down of work places and schools for kids globally in many countries. Different preventive and treatment strategies were tried in the past year to deal with rising numbers of cases and deaths and attempting to bring life back to normality. One of the measures is to vaccinate populations with COVID-19 vaccines. There are many ethical dilemmas associated with COVID-19 immunization, one of which is whether the vaccines should be made mandatory for the whole population or selected subgroups. Main Objective: To conduct a scoping review that identifies the main ethical reasons for and against mandatory COVID-19 vaccination. Study Rationale: · COVID-19 vaccination is highly effective, but making it mandatory is controversial with very significant implications for healthcare and society. · There is very limited literature on ethical reasoning around COVID-19 vaccination. · Purpose of the scope review is to provide an overview of the available research evidence on the main ethical reasoning around mandatory covid-19 vaccination.· Provide a list of the arguments for and against mandatory COVID-19 vaccination.

description: Nowadays, fish oil is the main source of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). In recent years, the availability of fish oil from pelagic fisheries has been declining, and the demand of ω-3 PUFAs from both the aquaculture sector and the emerging ω-3 market has been rapidly increasing. Microalgae may serve as a promising alternative source of ω-3 PUFAs, since they constitute the primary producers of all the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in marine food webs. The bottleneck of such biotechnological application mainly resides in the biological productivity of microalgae. Classical breeding could be a novel strategy to develop microalgal strains with higher yields of biomass and/or target metabolites. Diatoms are almost unique in having a diplontic life cycle, i.e. their life cycle includes a phase of sexual reproduction. After an extensive bibliographic research, we chose to work with some heterothallic diatom species within the framework of the H2020 NewTechAqua project. For these species, gametogenesis only occurs if the parent clones (i) are in the sexually inducible phase of the life cycle and (ii) get physical contact. These characteristics make heterothallic diatoms particularly suitable for controlled manipulation of sexual encounters, generation of new strains with unique genetic patterns and, possibly, improved biotechnological traits. Our study screened a total of 35 strains belonging to eight diatom species for sexual activity, mixing them in all pair-wise combinations in 24-well cell culture plates under controlled laboratory conditions. Sexual activity was observed for the species Seminavis robusta only. Single cells of recombinant offspring were isolated from three different breeding pairs and successfully developed into new monoclonal cultures. Further studies will address the potential of the recombined strains for biotechnological applications. Our findings will ultimately contribute to achieve a more sustainable, resilient and cost-effective European aquaculture.

description: We study the connection between topological strings and contact homology recently proposed in the context of knot invariants. In particular, we establish the proposed relation between the Gromov-Witten disk amplitudes of a Lagrangian associated to a knot and augmentations of its contact homology algebra. This also implies the equality between the Q-deformed A-polynomial and the augmentation polynomial of knot contact homology (in the irreducible case). We also generalize this relation to the case of links and to higher rank representations for knots. The generalization involves a study of the quantum moduli space of special Lagrangian branes with higher Betti numbers probing the Calabi-Yau. This leads to an extension of SYZ, and a new notion of mirror symmetry, involving higher dimensional mirrors. The mirror theory is a topological string, related to D-modules, which we call the "D-model." In the present setting, the mirror manifold is the augmentation variety of the link. Connecting further to contact geometry, we study intersection properties of branches of the augmentation variety guided by the relation to D-modules. This study leads us to propose concrete geometric constructions of Lagrangian fillings for links. We also relate the augmentation variety with the large N limit of the colored HOMFLY, which we conjecture to be related to a Q-deformation of the extension of A-polynomials associated with the link complement.

description: We develop a general theory to study the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in ultracold quantum gases, applicable for both Bose and Fermi gases with arbitrary inter-particle interaction strength. We show that, in the weak probe field limit, the EIT spectrum is solely determined by the single particle Green's function of the ground state atoms, and reflects interesting quantum many-body effects when atoms are virtually coupled to the low-lying Rydberg states. As an example, we apply our theory to 1D Luttinger liquid, Bose-Mott insulator state, and the superfluid state of two-component Fermi gases, and show how the many-body features can be observed non-destructively in the unconventional EIT spectrum.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased reliance on virtual care in the rehabilitation setting for patients with conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The aim of this study was to perform a quality improvement initiative to assess patient satisfaction and ensure that outcomes following virtual assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of CRPS with prednisone are safe and effective. An online survey was distributed to 18 patients with CRPS who had been seen virtually between March and December 2020 through a rehabilitation clinic and treated with oral prednisone. Thirteen participants completed the survey, which was designed de novo by our team to evaluate participant perceptions and satisfaction regarding the virtual care experience. Also included in the survey was a CRPS-specific validated patient-report questionnaire (Hamilton Inventory for CRPS: PR-HI-CRPS), which allowed participants to describe their specific symptoms and associated functional and psychosocial impacts, both previously (pretreatment baseline) and at the time of survey (posttreatment). CRPS symptoms and related impacts were scored as significantly improved from baseline following treatment with prednisone. Likert scale results from survey responses related to patients’ experiences and satisfaction with the virtual care process were analyzed; the majority of patients reported satisfaction with a virtual appointment for evaluation of CRPS, as well as with subsequent treatment decisions based on virtual assessment. This quality improvement study suggests that virtual care is a potential option for a patient-accepted approach to overcoming challenges with in-person care imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and could help inform future considerations in addressing geographic and patient-specific disparities in access to specialist care for CRPS.

description: CARD (comfort, ask, relax, distract) is a vaccine delivery framework that includes interventions to improve the patient’s experience. CARD has not been previously implemented in long-term care (LTC) settings. This study evaluated drivers to implementation for COVID-19 vaccinations in an LTC facility. Postimplementation interpretive evaluation including qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys with eight participants. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) was used for analysis. Adverse reactions to vaccinations and CARD interventions, including local reactogenicity and systemic reactions, were abstracted from medical charts of residents. Eight CFIR constructs emerged. Staff perceived CARD was complex because it added steps to vaccination delivery. Motivated to meet residents’ needs, a receptive implementation climate of support among staff led to using strategies within CARD, such as administering topical anesthetics and omitting alcohol skin antisepsis prior to injections. Having an effective network like the residents council positively influenced implementation by allowing residents to voice their opinions. Facilitators to implementation included staff knowledge and beliefs and staff’s commitment to their organization, which was focused on person-centered care. Barriers included lack of available resources (inadequate staffing), insufficient communication between management and staff and lack of awareness of CARD, and external policies not aligned with CARD. Chart reviews conducted for 93 vaccinated residents corroborated perceptions of vaccination and CARD intervention safety, revealing a low rate of local and systemic adverse reactions and no cases of skin infection. We identified positive and negative implementation drivers. Future research is recommended to expand the strategies employed and involve residents more directly.

Σκοπός είναι να εξετάσει τις δυνατότητές τους από την σκοπιά της ρομποτικής τεχνολογίας και της αρχιτεκτονικής κατασκευής. Αναλύοντας νέα εργαλεία και μηχανισμούς θα προσπαθήσουμε να κατανοήσουμε τους περιορισμούς, τις συνδέσεις και τις δυνατότητες τους.
  Στα πλαίσια αυτής της εργασίας κρίθηκε αναγκαία η κατασκευή ρομποτικών συστημάτων και η δημιουργία νέων ψηφιακών εργαλείων προκειμένου να εξετάσουμε τις δυνατότητες της ρομποτικής στην αρχιτεκτονική και να κατανοήσουμε τις σχέσεις που αναπτύσσονται σε αυτό το πλαίσιο.

description: With hundreds of pain management apps on the Canadian marketplace, it can be challenging for patients and clinicians to select effective and evidence-based mobile health (mHealth) apps that address pain from a biopsychosocial perspective. The aim of this study is to identify pain management apps within the Canadian app marketplaces to aid clinicians in recommending apps. The iOS and Android marketplaces were systematically searched to identify pain management apps that included at least one core component of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or mindfulness- and acceptance-based therapies. Selected apps were assessed using a researcher developed psychological components checklist, and the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS). These two measures provided a robust assessment of the apps’ technical abilities and psychological principles being implemented. Five hundred eight pain management apps were identified, yet only 12 included a psychological component and were available for evaluation. On average, apps contained 8.10 out of 18 psychological components (SD = 2.77) with a MARS quality rating of 4.02 out of 5 (SD = 0.32). The most common psychological components were grounded in CBT, including psychoeducation, sleep hygiene, behavioral activation, coping skills training, and social support. Among the least commonly included components were goal setting, values, and culture/diversity. Two-thirds of the apps involved health care practitioners in their development, but independent scientific review of apps was scarce. The highest scoring apps (Curable, Pathways, Vivify) are highlighted for health care practitioners who may wish to recommend mHealth technologies to their patients for pain management. Future directions for research and app development are discussed.

description: The growth of graphene on copper by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition in a system free of pumping equipment is investigated. The emphasis is put on the necessity of hydrogen presence during graphene synthesis and cooling. In the absence of hydrogen during the growth step or cooling at slow rate, weak carbon coverage, consisting mostly of oxidized and amorphous carbon, is obtained on the copper catalyst. The oxidation originates from the inevitable occurrence of residual oxidizing impurities in the reactor's atmosphere. Graphene with appreciable coverage can be grown within the vacuum-free furnace only upon admitting hydrogen during the growth step. After formation, it is preserved from the destructive effect of residual oxidizing contaminants once exposure at high temperature is minimized by fast cooling or hydrogen flow. Under these conditions, micrometer-sized hexagon-shaped graphene domains of high structural quality are achieved.

description: In canonical scalar field inflation, the Starobinsky model (with a linear potential but discontinuous slope) is remarkable in that though slow-roll is violated, both the power-spectrum and bi-spectrum can be calculated exactly analytically. The two-point function is characterised by different power on large and small scales, and a burst of small amplitude superimposed oscillations in between. Motivated by string-theory models with stuck branes, we extend this analysis to Dirac Born Infeld (DBI) inflation, for which generalised slow-roll is violated at the discontinuity and a rapid variation in the speed of sound c_s occurs. In an attempt to characterise the effect of non-linear kinetic terms on the oscillatory features of the primordial power-spectrum, we show that the resulting power spectrum has a shape and features which differ significantly from those of the standard Starobinsky model. In particular, the power-spectrum now takes very similar scale invariant values on large and small scales, while on intermediate scales it is characterised by much larger amplitude and higher frequency superimposed oscillations. We also show that calculating non-Gaussianities in this model is a complicated but interesting task since all terms in the cubic action now contribute. Investigating whether the superimposed oscillations could fit to the Planck Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data (for instance by explaining the large scale Planck anomalies) with, at the same time, small non-Gaussianities remains an intriguing and open possibility.

description: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are common and cause persistent pain. Comorbidities are associated with TMDs and can affect the effectiveness of their treatments. The literature is lacking enough evidence on the difference between acute and chronic pain, particularly in TMDs. Investigating this difference could highlight potential risk factors for the transition from acute to chronic pain–related TMDs. To compare the likelihood of back and neck pain (BP, NP) between acute and chronic pain–related TMDs (AP-TMD, CP-TMD) as defined by pain duration and pain-related disability.‎ Participants with AP-TMDs (≤3 months) and CP-TMDs (>3 months) were recruited according to the diagnostic criteria and research diagnostic criteria of TMD. BP and NP were assessed using a self-reported checklist. CP-TMDs defined by disability (chronic disability) and depression and anxiety symptoms were assessed using validated instruments. Logistic regression analyses were employed. This study enrolled 487 adults with AP-TMD (n = 118) and CP-TMD (n = 369). Relative to AP-TMD, participants with CP-TMD had twice the odds of reporting NP (odds ratio [OR] = 2.17‎, 95% CI 1.27–3.71) but not BP ‎‎(OR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.57–1.64). Participants with chronic disability were twice as likely to report NP ‎(OR = 1.95‎, 95% CI 1.20–3.17‎) but not BP (OR = 1.13, 95% CI 0.69–1.82)‎ compared to those without. All analyses were adjusted for age, sex, and anxiety and depression symptoms. Within the limitations of this study, results suggest that central dysregulation or trigeminocervical convergence mechanisms are implicated in the process of pain-related TMD chronification and highlight the relevance of considering disability when defining CP-TMDs.

From extortion to generosity, the evolution of zero-determinant strategies in the prisoner's dilemma

description: Recent work has revealed a new class of "zero-determinant" (ZD) strategies for iterated, two-player games. ZD strategies allow a player to unilaterally enforce a linear relationship between her score and her opponent's score, and thus achieve an unusual degree of control over both players' long-term payoffs. Although originally conceived in the context of classical, two-player game theory, ZD strategies also have consequences in evolving populations of players. Here we explore the evolutionary prospects for ZD strategies in the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma (IPD). Several recent studies have focused on the evolution of "extortion strategies" - a subset of zero-determinant strategies - and found them to be unsuccessful in populations. Nevertheless, we identify a different subset of ZD strategies, called "generous ZD strategies", that forgive defecting opponents, but nonetheless dominate in evolving populations. For all but the smallest population sizes, generous ZD strategies are not only robust to being replaced by other strategies, but they also can selectively replace any non-cooperative ZD strategy. Generous strategies can be generalized beyond the space of ZD strategies, and they remain robust to invasion. When evolution occurs on the full set of all IPD strategies, selection disproportionately favors these generous strategies. In some regimes, generous strategies outperform even the most successful of the well-known Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma strategies, including win-stay-lose-shift.

description: We study one-dimensional neighborhood-five conservative cellular automata (CA), referred to as particle cellular automata five (particle CA5). We show that evolution equations for particle CA5s that belong to certain types can be obtained in the form of max-min-plus expressions from a fundamental diagram. The obtained equations are transformed into other max-min-plus expressions by ultradiscrete Cole-Hopf transformation, which enable us to analyze the asymptotic behaviors of general solutions. The equations in the Lagrange representation, which describe particle motion, are also presented, which too can be obtained from a fundamental diagram. Finally, we discuss the generalization to a one-dimensional conservative neighborhood-$n$ CA, i.e., particle CA$n$.

description: The assumption of free will - the ability of an experimentalist to make random choices - is central to proving the indeterminism of quantum resources, the primary tool in quantum cryptography. Relaxing the assumption in a Bell test allows violation of the usual classical threshold by correlating the random number generators used to select measurements with the devices that perform them. In this paper, we examine not only these correlations, but those across multiple runs of the experiment. This enables an explicit exposition of the optimal cheating strategy and how the correlations manifest themselves within this strategy. Similar to other recent results, we prove that there remain Bell violations for a sufficiently high, yet non-maximal degree of free will which cannot be simulated by a classical attack, regardless of how many runs of the experiment those choices are correlated over.

description:  Οι παραδοσιακοί οικισμοί της Ελλάδας αποτελούν βασικό στοιχείο της πολιτιστικής  κληρονομιάς και της αρχιτεκτονικής. Η αλλοίωση των χαρακτηριστικών τους , κατά την πάροδο του χρόνου και των σύγχρονων συνθηκών , οδήγησε στην επιτακτική ανάγκη για την προστασία τους,με συγκεκριμένα θεσμικά πλαίσια.
 Σύγχρονος παράγοντας της αλλοίωσης του παραδοσιακού χαρακτήρα των οικισμών, αποτελεί ο τουρισμός , αφού η ταυτότητα  των παραδοσιακών οικισμών αποτελεί στοιχείο τουριστικής εκμετάλλευσης.
  Βασικό θέμα διερεύνησης της παρούσας ερευνητικής εργασίας είναι η μελέτη της επίδρασης του τουρισμού, ο οποίος μπορεί να αναδείξει τους παραδοσιακούς οικισμούς  ή να αλλοιώσει την ταυτότητά  τους. Επίσης, διερευνάται πώς η ήπια τουριστική ανάπτυξη , οι εναλλακτικές δηλαδή μορφές τουρισμού, συμβάλλουν στην ανάδειξη του παραδοσιακού  χαρακτήρα του τόπου και με ποιες συνθήκες αυτέςδύνανται να εφαρμοστούν.
 Για την εξέταση των φαινομένων μελετώνται χαρακτηριστικά παραδείγματα παραδοσιακών συνόλων και πρακτικές διατήρησης και αναβίωσης τους μέσα από τη διεθνή εμπειρία. Επιλέγονται περιπτώσεις στις οποίεςο σωστός σχεδιασμός οδήγησε στην βέλτιστη ανάδειξη τους, όπως και περιπτώσεις στις οποίες ο σχεδιασμός οδήγησε στην περαιτέρωυποβάθμιση τους.
