description: These lecture notes are intended to serve as an introduction to applied AdS/CFT with numerics for an audience of graduate students and others with little background in the subject. The presentation begins with a poor man's review of current status of quantum gravity, where AdS/CFT correspondence is believed to be the well formulated quantum gravity in the anti-de Sitter space. Then we present the basic ingredients in applied AdS/CFT and introduce the relevant numerics for solving differential equations into which the bulk dynamics collapses. To demonstrate how to apply AdS/CFT with numerics, we take the zero temperature holographic superfluid as a concrete example for case study. In passing, we also present some new results, which include the numerical evidence as well as an elegant analytic proof for the equality between the superfluid density and particle density, namely $ρ_s=ρ$, and the saturation to the predicted value $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ by conformal field theory for the sound speed in the large chemical potential limit.

description: The relationship between the levels of autonomy and independence in people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and their levels of functional physical fitness is not clear in the literature. Thus, this study aimed to compare the levels of autonomy and functionality in daily living activities of people with IDD with their functional physical fitness levels and to analyse the effect of a 9-week physical exercise programme (one 1h session per week) on these variables. Seventeen adults (35.17±13.57 years) with IDD participated in this study. Anthropometric data (height, weight, body mass index and muscle mass) and data regarding functionality of daily living activities (WHODAS 2.0) were collected. The functional physical fitness was also assessed (handgrip strength, standing and sitting, and timed up and go test. There was an improvement in the daily living activities functionality (z=-2.19; p=.03) and body composition, namely in body mass index (z=-2.08;p=.04) and muscle mass (z=-1,94;p=.05) in the comparison between two moments. On the other hand, there were no differences in the functional physical fitness variables. Thus, the intervention program seems to have contributed positively to improving the perception of autonomy in daily living activities and body composition but was not enough to improve the participants' functional physical fitness.

description: This study sought to assess the reliability of a manipulative eye–segmental (hand and foot) coordination task, known as the Wall Drop Punt Kick and Catch test (WDPK&C), over a period of two weeks. A total of forty-one children and adolescents, comprising 18 boys and 23 girls, with an average age of 10.2 years (SD = 1.62), were recruited for the assessment. Participants were given 30 seconds to execute as many ball impacts as possible on a wall located two meters away, following a drop punt kick, wall rebound, and catch sequence. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC = 0.896) for individual measurements, Cronbach Alpha (α = 0.945), and Lin’s Concordance Correlation Coefficient (CCC = 0.896) provide robust evidence of reliability when considering two successive measurements. These findings further reinforce the reliability of the WDPK&C test within a sample of Portuguese children and adolescents. Consequently, the WDPK&C test is deemed suitable for application to Portuguese children and adolescents. Future studies should extend the assessment of this test's reliability to diverse age groups, as it is intended to serve as a test suitable for a wide range of ages.

description: Falls are well documented as being a major cause of accidental injury and deaths worldwide, especially among the elderly, with a higher probability of occurrence in the population over 60 years of age (WHO, 2021). Falls are preventable, but the consequences of falls can lead to injuries and may result in loss of independence. Decreased overall motor skills of the elderly, such as muscle strength, power, flexibility, agility, and endurance, cause walking difficulty (Spirduzo et al., 2005; Jeon M-Y, Choe M, 2002; Salzman, 2010), nevertheless, physical activity and exercise can contribute to maintaining the quality of life, health, physical function and reducing falls among older people (Gillespie et al., 2012; Tricco et al., 2017). Thus, the present study aims to analyse the association between fear of falling, eye-segmental coordination and dynamic balance in participants in a physical exercise program for the elderly. The sample consisted of 103 individuals (22 men and 81 women) with a mean age of 71.3 (±5.9) years, participants of a gerontomotricity municipal program from 5 different locations in the central region of Portugal. Wall Drop Punt Kick and Catch test was used to assess eye-segmental coordination, the Foot Up and Go test was used to assess dynamic balance, and the Falls Efficacy Scale International questionnaire was used to assess the fear of falling. Results confirm that higher levels of eye-segmental coordination are correlated both with dynamic balance and the fear of falling (r = - 0.39, p < 0.001 & r = - 0.28, p < 0.01, respectively) and also that dynamic balance correlates with the fear of falling (r = 0.46, p < 0.001). It is interesting to note that age was not correlated with any of these 3 variables despite its amplitude ranging from 57 to 85 years old. Differences between sex were only observed for eye-segmental coordination (men = 9.36, women = 4.61; p < 0.001). The years of participation in this program ranged from 0.1 to 17.5, but it showed no correlation with any studied variable (p > 0.05). With this study, it could be confirmed that higher levels of fear of falling in the older population are related to lower levels of eye-segmental coordination and lower levels of dynamic balance, emphasising the need to maintain or adopt active lifestyles that promote the development or at least, avoid the decrease of human motor skills performance.

description: We have developed a quantum noise approach to study the phonon transport through nanostructures. The nanostructures acting as phonon channels are attached to two phonon reservoirs. And the temperature drop between the two reservoirs drives the phonon transport through the channels. We have derived a quantum Langevin equation(QLE) to describe the phonon transport with the quantum noise originated from the thermal fluctuation of the reservoirs. Within the Markov approximation, the QLE is used to get the thermal conductivity $κ$ of the nanostructures and the finite size effect of the $κ$ then is studied. In this study, the advantage of the quantum noise approach lays on the fact that no any local temperature needs to be defined for the nanostructures in its non-equilibrium state.

description: Cobalt/nickel-containing SiOC-based porous ceramic electrocatalysts were prepared by pyrolysis of poly(methyl silsesquioxane) and poly(methyl phenyl silsesquioxane) as preceramic precursors combined with graphite and Co/Ni metal salts at 1000 °C in an atmosphere of nitrogen. Subsequently, the Co/Ni–SiOC materials were N-doped using dicyandiamide (DCDA) as a nitrogen source and pyrolysed at 800 °C in an inert atmosphere. The structural properties and composition of the catalysts were characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and N2 adsorption analysis. The evaluation of the polymer-derived SiOC(N) ceramic electrocatalysts as a new class of catalysts for the oxygen reaction reduction (ORR) was carried out by the rotating disk electrode (RDE) method under acidic, neutral and alkaline conditions. The O2 reduction studies revealed that the N-doped materials exhibited enhanced ORR performance, confirming the positive influence of the nitrogen functionalities introduced into the catalysts. The Co-containing N-doped SiOC catalyst exhibited significantly higher ORR activity compared with the studied materials along with the highest electron transfer number in all the studied solutions. Long-term ORR performance testing indicated that the durability of this catalyst was superior as compared to that of commercial Pt/C. These observations suggest that the Co-containing N-doped SiOC catalyst is a promising cathode material for fuel cells (FCs) and microbial FC devices.

description: Motivated by a desire to understand quantum fluctuation energy densities and stress within a spatially varying dielectric medium, we examine the vacuum expectation value for the stress tensor of a scalar field with arbitrary conformal parameter, in the background of a given potential that depends on only one spatial coordinate. We regulate the expressions by incorporating a temporal-spatial cutoff in the (imaginary) time and transverse-spatial directions. The divergences are captured by the zeroth- and second-order WKB approximations. Then the stress tensor is "renormalized" by omitting the terms that depend on the cutoff. The ambiguities that inevitably arise in this procedure are both duly noted and restricted by imposing certain physical conditions; one result is that the renormalized stress tensor exhibits the expected trace anomaly. The renormalized stress tensor exhibits no pressure anomaly, in that the principle of virtual work is satisfied for motions in a transverse direction. We then consider a potential that defines a wall, a one-dimensional potential that vanishes for $z<0$ and rises like $z^α$, $α>0$, for $z>0$. The full finite stress tensor is computed numerically for the two cases where explicit solutions to the differential equation are available, $α=1$ and 2. The energy density exhibits an inverse linear divergence as the boundary is approached from the inside for a linear potential, and a logarithmic divergence for a quadratic potential. Finally, the interaction between two such walls is computed, and it is shown that the attractive Casimir pressure between the two walls also satisfies the principle of virtual work (i.e., the pressure equals the negative derivative of the energy with respect to the distance between the walls).

description: Professional soccer involves varying numbers of training sessions and matches each week, which can influence load distribution. Understanding the exact distribution may allow appropriate load periodisation and planning for players. Thus, this study aimed to (i) compare accumulated load and wellness between weeks with different numbers of training sessions and (ii) compare the training/match ratio (TMr) of external and internal load between weeks with different numbers of training sessions. Ten players with a minimum of 45 minutes of weekly match-play participation were analysed over 16 weeks. The microcycle structures consisted of three (3dW), four (4dW), five (5dW) and six (6dW) training sessions plus match-day per week. The following measures were used for analysis: duration, fatigue, quality of sleep, muscle soreness, stress, mood, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), session-RPE (s-RPE), high-speed running distance (HSR), sprint distance (SPD), number of accelerations (ACC) and number of decelerations (DEC). Accumulated wellness/load were calculated by adding all training and match sessions, while TMr was calculated by dividing the accumulated load by match data. The main results showed that accumulated wellness and load were significantly different, with moderate to very large effect sizes, except regarding mood, duration, s-RPE, SPD during 5dW vs 6dW and s-RPE, HSR, SPD, ACC and DEC during 3dW vs 4dW (all p > 0.05). Moreover, 6dW was significantly higher than 4dW regarding TMr of duration (p < 0.05, moderate effect size), RPE, HSR and SPD (all p < 0.05 with very large effect sizes) and for 3dW of HSR and ACC (p < 0.05 with very large effect sizes). This study showed that 5dW and 6dW had higher training measures than 3dW or 4dW. Additionally, higher wellness was presented in the microcycles with higher training frequencies. These findings suggest that physical load and wellness were not adjusted according to the number of training sessions within a microcycle.

description: Non perturbative studies of Schwinger-Dyson equations (SDEs) require their infnite, coupled tower to be truncated in order to reduce them to a practically solvable set. In this connection, a physically acceptable ansatz for the three point vertex is the most favorite choice. Scalar quantum electrodynamics (sQED) provides a simple and neat platform to address this problem. The most general form of the three point scalar-photon vertex can be expressed in terms of only two independent form factors, a longitudinal and a transverse one. Ball and Chiu have demonstrated that the longitudinal vertex is fixed by requiring the Ward-Fradkin-Green-Takahashi identity (WFGTI), while the transverse vertex remains undetermined. In massless quenched sQED, we construct the transverse part of the non perturbative scalar-photon vertex. This construction (i) ensures multiplicative renormalizability (MR) of the scalar propagator in keeping with the Landau-Khalatnikov-Fradkin transformations (LKFTs), (ii) has the same transformation properties as the bare vertex under charge conjugation, parity and time reversal, (iii) has no kinematic singularities and (iv) reproduces one loop asymptotic result in the weak coupling regime of the theory.

description: Working in construction is physically demanding. The tasks inherent to this professional occupation physically wear workers down, leaving them at a high risk of injury, mainly in the shoulder and knee joints and the lumbar region (Chung et al., 2019; Umer et al., 2018). Those tasks require a great balance capacity and strength of the postural muscles, with the Construction Workers (CW) supporting heavy equipment on unstable surfaces (Manttari et al., 2021). The aim of this study was to analyse the muscular activity in trained civil construction workers (CWPE) and untrained civil construction workers (CWnPE) during a realisation of the deadlift (DL).

Eleven male CW (38.00 ± 9.60 years; 172 ± 1 cm; 87.01 ± 9.8 kg), of which 7 were untrained (N =7) and 4 were trained (N=4). Firstly, each subject filled out a questionnaire, and the maximum repetition for the DL was evaluated. Secondly, the muscular activity was evaluated while performing the deadlift in four different situations: at 50%RM at rest, 80%RM at rest, 80%RM at fatigue, and 50%RM at fatigue. Surface Electromyography (EMG) measured the muscular activity of the Biceps Femoris (BF), Trapezius Transversalis (TT), and Erector Spinae longissimus (ES). The data were collected through the MonitorPlux, using a frequency of 1000Hz, and exported into MATLAB software for data processing. The relative values of Root Mean Square (RMS) were obtained, reflecting the muscular activation during the realisation of the exercise, and Mean Frequency (MFREQ), which is an indicator of fatigue (Puce et al., 2021). Means, minimums, maximums, and standard deviations were calculated as significant differences (p ≤ .05) using the Mann-Whitney U Test.

CWPE had higher muscle activity values and did not present significant differences in muscular activation. The muscle with higher activation was the TT in both groups and was highly perceived at the set at 80%RM at fatigue, being observed the greater activation on the CWPE (TT left: 42.93 ± 31.40%; TT right: 64.75 ± 68.43%) when compared to the CWnPE (TT left: 32.31 ± 25.87%; TT right: 36.69 ± 29.61%). CWnPE showed significant differences between sets of different intensities and conditions on the TT (p ≤ 0.05).

As the results suggest, sets performed in the presence of fatigue and series at higher intensities provide greater muscle activations. There seems to be a strong influence of physical exercise on muscle activity and fatigue in civil construction workers.

description: Memory function formalism or projection operator technique is an extremely useful method to study the transport and optical properties of various condensed matter systems. A recent revival of its uses in various correlated electronic systems is being observed. It is being used and discussed in various contexts, ranging from non-equilibrium dynamics to the optical properties of various strongly correlated systems such as high temperature superconductors. However, a detailed discussion on this method, starting from its origin to its present day applications at one place is lacking. In this article we attempt a comprehensive review of the memory function approach focusing on its uses in studying the dynamics and the transport properties of correlated electronic systems.

description: “Sarung Banggi” was one of my mother’s favorites, it was a popular Kundiman song from Bicol, a region in the Philippines where my mom is from. “Sarung banggi sa higdaan nakadangog ako nin huni nin sarong gamgam,” my mom would sing throughout the house. I remember the catchy melody of the song that stayed in my head for days. Like “Sarung Banggi,” I would hear my mom hum or sing other Filipino folk songs during my childhood but I never paid much attention to what these songs were and what they meant. During my childhood, I tended to stray away from my culture and roots. Comments from my peers questioning where I’m from, commenting on my eyes and being disgusted by the food I would bring for lunch made me feel that embracing my culture was “un-American.”

description: We report broadband spin-wave spectroscopy on kagome artificial spin ice (ASI) made of large arrays of interconnected Ni$_{80}$Fe$_{20}$ nanobars. Spectra taken in saturated and disordered states exhibit a series of resonances with characteristic magnetic field dependencies. Making use of micromagnetic simulations, we identify resonances that reflect the spin-solid-state and monopole-antimonopole pairs on Dirac strings. The latter resonances allow for the generation of highly-charged vertices in ASIs via microwave assisted switching. Our findings open further perspectives for fundamental studies on ASIs and their usage in reprogrammable magnonics.

description: For the problem of nonparametric regression of smooth functions, we reconsider and analyze a constrained variational approach, which we call the MultIscale Nemirovski-Dantzig (MIND) estimator. This can be viewed as a multiscale extension of the Dantzig selector (\emph{Ann. Statist.}, 35(6): 2313--51, 2009) based on early ideas of Nemirovski (\emph{J. Comput. System Sci.}, 23:1--11, 1986). MIND minimizes a homogeneous Sobolev norm under the constraint that the multiresolution norm of the residual is bounded by a universal threshold. The main contribution of this paper is the derivation of convergence rates of MIND with respect to $L^q$-loss, $1 \le q \le \infty$, both almost surely and in expectation. To this end, we introduce the method of approximate source conditions. For a one-dimensional signal, these can be translated into approximation properties of $B$-splines. A remarkable consequence is that MIND attains almost minimax optimal rates simultaneously for a large range of Sobolev and Besov classes, which provides certain adaptation. Complimentary to the asymptotic analysis, we examine the finite sample performance of MIND by numerical simulations.

description: Menopause is associated with decreased physical activity and sleep disturbances. Short sleep duration and poor sleep quality have been associated with an increased risk of falls, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. It´s important to understand how physical activity influences sleep health in postmenopausal women. The purpose of this study was to analyse the variation of sleep duration and quality as a function of moderate-vigorous physical activity (not recommended, MVPA<150 min/week; recommended, MVPA between 150 and 300 min/week; highly recommended, AFM>300 min/week). The sample included 40 postmenopausal women (57.28±5.68 years) enrolled in the Meno(s)Pause+Movement, 85% documenting the use of hormone therapy. Sleep (TST, total sleep time; SOL, sleep onset latency; SE, sleep efficiency; SFI, sleep fragmentation index) and physical activity were estimated using ActiGraph GT3X+ activity monitors. Physical activity was classified according to WHO (2020) guidelines and body composition was measured using bioimpedance (InBody 120). One-way ANOVA was used to compare the means of the variables in the MVPA groups being considered a 5% degree of statistical significance. Women taking medication that influenced sleep were eliminated from the analysis. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of the UTAD (ref. Doc77-CE-UTAD-2022). Most of the sample showed fat mass ≥35% (65%) and visceral fat >9 points (72.5%). The average MVPA was 299,05 min/week, with 30 women showing levels of at least 150 min/week. All participants presented SFI>5 number of events (25,66±6,38 number of events) and SOL£30 minutes (2.83±1.29 min). The average TST was 7.38 (±0.50) min/day, with 75% showing recommended values. The MVPA groups did not produce a differentiated effect (p>0.05) on the parameters related to the duration and quality of sleep. There is no relationship between MVPA and sleep duration and quality in postmenopausal women. A replication study in a larger sample is suggested.

description: Good news: you’re not a hypocrite. Or, if it’s any consolation, I don’t think you are. I see you sweating over meticulous to-do lists, penciling, in excruciating detail, the tasks you need to accomplish this Sunday from 1:00-3:00 PM. I hear you courteously decline that movie because you “need to study for chem tonight.” And yes, I feel your frustration after accidentally spending those two hours procrastinating, accomplishing none of what you so dutifully planned. How can you claim you’re working when you’re just wasting time?

description: We consider a discrete-time approximation of paths of an Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process as a mean for estimation of a price of European call option in the model of financial market with stochastic volatility. The Euler--Maruyama approximation scheme is implemented. We determine the estimates for the option price for predetermined sets of parameters. The rate of convergence of the price and an average volatility when discretization intervals tighten are determined. Discretization precision is analyzed for the case where the exact value of the price can be derived.

description: Women are more likely to experience depressive symptoms and poor quality of life during postmenopause. Physical activity is an effective strategy to improve the mental health of women in this climacteric phase. This study aimed to investigate the variation of depressive symptomatology and mood states in postmenopausal women as a function of moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels. The search was conducted on the project Meno(s)Pause+Movement and involved 62 women (age range 48-71 years), most of them with natural menopause (87.1%) and without hormone therapy (85.5%). The Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) was applied, and the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) was used to measure dispositional optimism. Body composition was assessed by bioimpedance, and triaxial accelerometers wGT3X-BT were used to measure MVPA. The cut-off points for the non-dominant pulse proposed by Kamada et al. (2016) were considered, and physical activity was classified according to WHO (2020) guidelines. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the means of the variables in the three MVPA groups (<150 minutes/week; 150-300 minutes/week); >300 minutes/week), being considered a 5% degree of statistical significance. Women who documented using antidepressants or anxiolytics were excluded from the analysis. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (ref. Doc77-CE-UTAD-2022). The mean age, LOT-R, and DASS-21 scores were 53.69 years, 16.52 (±3.0) points, and 11.02 (±9.22) points, respectively. Most of the sample exhibited obesity but a normal muscle condition (skeletal muscle mass ≥16 kg). The average MVPA was 299.05 min/week, with 41.9% of the women showing very recommended levels. No differences were identified in the mean values of the LOT-R, the DASS-21 scale and its dimensions (anxiety, depression and stress) between the 3 AFMV groups. The results suggest that physical activity levels do not influence variation in optimism and depression symptomatology in postmenopausal women.

description: Random networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) usually contain both metallic (m-CNTs) and semiconducting (s-CNTs) nanotubes with an approximate ratio of 1:2, which leads to a trade-off between on-conductance and on/off ratio. We demonstrate how the design problem can be solved with a realistic numerical approach. We determine CNT density, length, and channel dimensions for which CNT thin-film transistors (TFTs) simultaneously attain on-conductance higher than $1~{\rm μS}$ and on/off ratio higher than $10^4$. Fact that asymmetric systems have more pronounced finite-size scaling behavior than symmetric, enables us additional design freedom. A realisation probability of desired characteristics higher than 99\% is obtained only with channel aspect length to width ratios $L_{\rm CH} / W_{\rm CH} < 1.2$ and normalized channel size $L_{\rm CH}W_{\rm CH} / l^2_{\rm CNT} > 250$ for a range of CNT lengths $l_{\rm CNT} = 4-20~{\rm μm}$.

description: While the existence of conformal mappings between doubly connected domains is characterized by their conformal moduli, no such characterization is available for harmonic diffeomorphisms. Intuitively, one expects their existence if the domain is not too thick compared to the codomain. We make this intuition precise by showing that for a Dini-smooth doubly connected domain $Ω^*$ there exists $ε>0$ such that for every doubly connected domain $Ω$ with $\operatorname{Mod} Ω^*

description: I grew up sitting too close to the screen, bleary eyes trained on the blue light. While my mother pulled on my hair to twist it into braids, I would try to ignore the pain and turn my attention to Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street on the television in front of me. I often think of this memory on the rare occasion that I fix my own hair, contemplating who I’ve grown to be. It started here, I think, but I never know how these shows shaped me if at all.

description: Score-P is a measurement infrastructure originally designed for the analysis and optimization of the performance of HPC codes. Recent extensions of Score-P and its associated tools now also allow the investigation of energy-related properties and support the user in the implementation of corresponding improvements. Since it would be counterproductive to completely ignore performance issues in this connection, the focus should not be laid exclusively on energy. We therefore aim to optimize software with respect to an objective function that takes into account energy and run time.
