description: Traditionally, a chaplain is a cleric such as a priest or imam of a religious tradition, who provides spiritual support, and care to secular institution, workplace or private chapel. Faith based universities are institutions of higher learning that integrate religious beliefs and values into their campus life. Globally, institutions of higher learning experience several activities every day and some bring severe challenges to the development of the institutions and the personalities involved. Scholars in various academic fields have carried out research on these activities, which include the decline of morality, drug abuse, examination malpractices, gangsterism culture, cultism, obscene dressing and sexual promiscuity, harassment, unruly behaviours to lecturers and other constituted authority. However, adequate attention has not been paid to the influence of religious programmes and activities of the chaplaincy in the tertiary institutions. This is the onus of this paper in attempting to fill the gap in literature by exploring the influence of Chaplaincy activities on Moral and spiritual transformations of selected Faith based Universities in Southwest Nigeria as well as evaluate the impact of chaplaincy activities on the ethos of the university community. 

 Through the administration of questionnaire, interviews and review of literatures, hinged on the application of structural theory of functionalism, this paper argues that there are inbuilt personality traits seen in students who experience psychological and behavioural challenges. These traits impeded their learning and moral development. The findings further revealed religious activities in the campuses through the activities of the Chaplain have moderated the major moral challenges facing students therefore, the chaplaincy pastoral, care and counselling should be applied in intervening and remedying these obnoxious challenges .This paper recommends that all faith-based institutions of higher learning in the south west of Nigeria should improve the services of chaplains and develop new paradigms for effective whole-person development of students in their institutions through chaplaincy ministry in the institutions of higher learning

description: Oaksford & Chater (O&C) aim to provide teleological explanations of behavior by giving an appropriate normative standard: Bayesian inference. We argue that there is no uncontroversial independent justification for the normativity of Bayesian inference, and that O&C fail to satisfy a necessary condition for teleological explanations: demonstration that the normative prescription played a causal role in the behavior's existence.

description: We perform cluster aggregation simulations to model the structure of anisotropic aerogel. By biasing the diffusion process, we are able to obtain two distinct types of globally anisotropic aerogel structures which we call "nematic", with long strands along the anisotropy axis, and "planar", with long strands in planes perpendicular to the anisotropy axis. We calculate the auto-correlation function, the structure factor, and the angular dependence of the free-path distribution for these samples. The calculated structure factor from simulated aerogels can be compared with data from small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) of lab-grown aerogel allowing us to classify the spatial structure of the lab-grown samples. We find that the simulated "nematic" aerogel has a structure factor consistent with lab-grown, axially-compressed silica aerogel while the simulated "planar" aerogel has a structure factor consistent with lab-grown "stretched" silica aerogel. Unexpectedly, compressing previously isotropic silica aerogel leads to the formation of long strands along the compression axis while stretching silica aerogel leads to formation of planes perpendicular to the stretching axis. We discuss the implication of this determination on experiments of superfluid $^3$He in anisotropic aerogel, in particular the orbital analog of the spin-flop transition.

description: For a compact subset $K$ of a closed symplectic manifold $(M, ω)$, we prove that $K$ is heavy if and only if its relative symplectic cohomology over the Novikov field is non-zero. As an application we show that if two compact sets are not heavy and Poisson commuting, then their union is also not heavy. A discussion on superheaviness together with some partial results are also included.

description: The past two decades have seen a dramatic growth in the use of statisticians and economists for the presentation of expert testimony in legal proceedings. In this paper, we describe a hypothetical case modeled on real ones and involving statistical testimony regarding the causal effect of lead on lowering the IQs of children who ingest lead paint chips. The data we use come from a well-known pioneering study on the topic and the analyses we describe as the expert testimony are similar to ones that can be found in, major scienti4c journals. The battle of the experts in this hypothetical case resembles that which many encounter as expert witnesses. The paper concludes with some observations and advice.
Discovery of the optical counterpart and early optical observations of GRB990712

description: We present the discovery observations of the optical counterpart of the gamma-ray burster GRB990712 taken 4.16 hours after the outburst and discuss its light curve observed in the V, R and I bands during the first ~35 days after the outburst. The observed light curves were fitted with a power-law decay for the optical transient (OT), plus an additional component which was treated in two different ways. First, the additional component was assumed to be an underlying galaxy of constant brightness. The resulting slope of the decay is 0.97+/-0.05 and the magnitudes of the underlying galaxy are: V = 22.3 +/- 0.05, R = 21.75 +/- 0.05 and I = 21.35 +/- 0.05. Second, the additional component was assumed to be a galaxy plus an underlying supernova with a time-variable brightness identical to that of GRB980425, appropriately scaled to the redshift of GRB990712. The resulting slope of the decay is similar, but the goodness-of-fit is worse which would imply that either this GRB is not associated with an underlying supernova or the underlying supernova is much fainter than the supernova associated with GRB980425. The galaxy in this case is fainter: V = 22.7 +/- 0.05, R = 22.25 +/- 0.05 and I = 22.15 +/- 0.05; and the OT plus the underlying supernova at a given time is brighter. Measurements of the brightnesses of the OT and the galaxy by late-time HST observation and ground-based observations can thus assess the presence of an underlying supernova.

We have demonstrated, that neutron-rich hot heavy nuclei can be produced in this region. The production of these nuclei may influence dynamics of the explosion and contribute to the synthesis of heavy elements.

description: Photon Bose-Einstein condensation and photon thermalisation have been largely studied with molecular gain media in optical cavities. Their observation with semiconductors has remained elusive despite a large body of experimental results and a very well established theoretical framework. We use this theoretical framework as a convenient platform to revisit photon Bose-Einstein condensation in the driven-dissipative regime and compare with the lasing regime. We discuss the thermalisation figures of merit and the different experimental procedures to asses thermalization. We compare the definitions of lasing and condensation thresholds. Finally, we explore the fluctuations of the system and their relation to the different regimes.

description: Ultralight scalars have been predicted in a variety of scenarios, and advocated as a possible component of dark matter. These fields can form compact regular structures known as boson stars, or---in the presence of horizons---give rise to nontrivial time-dependent scalar hair and a stationary geometry. Because these fields can be coherent over large spatial extents, their interaction with "regular" matter can lead to very peculiar effects, most notably resonances. Here we study the motion of stars in a background describing black holes surrounded by non-axially symmetric scalar field profiles. By analyzing the system in a weak-field approach, we find that the presence of a scalar field gives rise to secular effects akin to ones existing in planetary and accretion disks. Particularly, the existence of resonances between the orbiting stars and the scalar field may enable angular momentum exchange between them, providing mechanisms similar to planetary migration. Additionally, these mechanisms may allow \textit{floating orbits}, which are stable radiating orbits. We also show, in the full relativistic case, that these effects also appear when there is a direct coupling between the scalar field and the stellar matter, which can arise due to the presence of a scalar core in the star or in alternative theories of gravity.

description: We revisit dipolar motion of condensate atoms in one-dimensional optical lattices and harmonic magnetic traps including quantum fluctuations within the truncated Wigner approximation. In the strong tunneling limit we reproduce the meanfield results with a sharp dynamical transition at the critical displacement. When the tunneling is reduced, on the contrary, strong quantum fluctuations lead to finite damping of condensate oscillations even at infinitesimal displacement. We argue that there is a smooth crossover between the chaotic classical transition at finite displacement and the superfluid-to-insulator phase transition at zero displacement. We further analyze the time dependence of the density fluctuations and of the coherence of the condensate and find several nontrivial dynamical effects, which can be observed in the present experimental conditions.

description: After reviewing theoretical reasons for doubting that machine learning methods can accurately infer gene regulatory networks from microarray data, we test 10 algorithms on simulated data from the sea urchin network, and on microarray data for yeast compared with recent experimental determinations of the regulatory network in the same yeast species. Our results agree with the theoretical arguments: most algorithms are at chance for determining the existence of a regulatory connection between gene pairs, and the algorithms that perform better than chance are nonetheless so errorprone as to be of little practical use in these applications.

description: We show that, within a meson-exchange dynamical model describing well most of the existing pion electromagnetic production data up to the second resonance region, one is also able to obtain a good agreement with the pi^0 photo- and electroproduction data near threshold. In the case of pi^0 production, the effects of final state interaction in the threshold region are nearly saturated by single charge exchange rescattering. This indicates that in ChPT, it might be sufficient to carry out the calculation just up to one-loop diagrams for threshold neutral pion production.

description: Images document scientific discoveries and are prevalent in modern biomedical research. Microscopy imaging in particular is currently undergoing rapid technological advancements. However for scientists wishing to publish the obtained images and image analyses results, there are to date no unified guidelines. Consequently, microscopy images and image data in publications may be unclear or difficult to interpret. Here we present community-developed checklists for preparing light microscopy images and image analysis for publications. These checklists offer authors, readers, and publishers key recommendations for image formatting and annotation, color selection, data availability, and for reporting image analysis workflows. The goal of our guidelines is to increase the clarity and reproducibility of image figures and thereby heighten the quality of microscopy data is in publications.

We present our public code hyperz, which is presently available on the web. We introduce the method and we discuss the expected influence of the different observational conditions and theoretical assumptions. In particular, the set of templates used in the minimization procedure (age, metallicity, reddening, absorption in the Lyman forest, ...) is studied in detail, through both real and simulated data. The expected accuracy of photometric redshifts, as well as the fraction of catastrophic identifications and wrong detections, is given as a function of the redshift range, the set of filters considered, and the photometric accuracy. Special attention is paid to the results expected from real data.

description: We show how to find all $k$ marked elements in a list of size $N$ using the optimal number $O(\sqrt{N k})$ of quantum queries and only a polylogarithmic overhead in the gate complexity, in the setting where one has a small quantum memory. Previous algorithms either incurred a factor $k$ overhead in the gate complexity, or had an extra factor $\log(k)$ in the query complexity.
 We then consider the problem of finding a multiplicative $δ$-approximation of $s = \sum_{i=1}^N v_i$ where $v=(v_i) \in [0,1]^N$, given quantum query access to a binary description of $v$. We give an algorithm that does so, with probability at least $1-ρ$, using $O(\sqrt{N \log(1/ρ) / δ})$ quantum queries (under mild assumptions on $ρ$). This quadratically improves the dependence on $1/δ$ and $\log(1/ρ)$ compared to a straightforward application of amplitude estimation. To obtain the improved $\log(1/ρ)$ dependence we use the first result.

description: We present a thermal emission spectrum of the bloated hot Jupiter HAT-P-32Ab from a single eclipse observation made in spatial scan mode with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The spectrum covers the wavelength regime from 1.123 to 1.644 microns which is binned into 14 eclipse depths measured to an averaged precision of 104 parts-per million. The spectrum is unaffected by a dilution from the close M-dwarf companion HAT-P-32B, which was fully resolved. We complemented our spectrum with literature results and performed a comparative forward and retrieval analysis with the 1D radiative-convective ATMO model. Assuming solar abundance of the planet atmosphere, we find that the measured spectrum can best be explained by the spectrum of a blackbody isothermal atmosphere with Tp = 1995 +/- 17K, but can equally-well be described by a spectrum with modest thermal inversion. The retrieved spectrum suggests emission from VO at the WFC3 wavelengths and no evidence of the 1.4 micron water feature. The emission models with temperature profiles decreasing with height are rejected at a high confidence. An isothermal or inverted spectrum can imply a clear atmosphere with an absorber, a dusty cloud deck or a combination of both. We find that the planet can have continuum of values for the albedo and recirculation, ranging from high albedo and poor recirculation to low albedo and efficient recirculation. Optical spectroscopy of the planet's day-side or thermal emission phase curves can potentially resolve the current albedo with recirculation degeneracy.

description: Abstract: "In this paper we model the evolution of a system of corruption. We assume a fixed population of players that play a series of supergames with randomly chosen opponents. Each stage game in the supergames is a prisoner's dilemma. We show the conditions under which an equilibrium of corruption exists and is stable. We assume there are two types of players, adaptive and nonadaptive ones. Among the nonadaptive players, there is a small proportion that always chooses to be conditionally honest in every new supergame. Furthermore, we assume that corruption generates small but cumulative social costs. We show that the joint presence of a small group of 'honest' players and of cumulative social costs is sufficient to drive the system to a critical (i.e., catastrophic) point in which the stable equilibrium of corruption suddenly becomes unstable. When the system has reached such a catastrophic point, a small perturbation is enough to drive it towards a different equilibrium. We show that the new equilibrium is cooperative, in that all players choose to be conditionally honest, and that a cooperative equilibrium is always stable under our model's conditions."

description: Using the simplest possible ingredients of a rupture model with thermal fluctuations, we provide an analytical theory of three ubiquitous empirical observations obtained in creep (constant applied stress) experiments: the initial Andrade-like and Omori-like $1/t$ decay of the rate of deformation and of fiber ruptures and the $1/(t_c-t)$ critical time-to-failure behavior of acoustic emissions just prior to the macroscopic rupture. The lifetime of the material is controlled by a thermally activated Arrhenius nucleation process, describing the cross-over between these two regimes. Our results give further credit to the idea proposed by Ciliberto et al. that the tiny thermal fluctuations may actually play an essential role in macroscopic deformation and rupture processes at room temperature. We discover a new re-entrant effect of the lifetime as a function of quenched disorder amplitude.

description: Turing's mechanism is often invoked to explain periodic patterns in nature, although direct experimental support is scarce. Turing patterns form in reaction-diffusion systems when the activating species diffuse much slower than the inhibiting species, and the involved reactions are highly non-linear. Such reactions can originate from co-operativity, whose physical interactions should also affect diffusion. We here take direct interactions into account and show that they strongly affect Turing patterns. We find that weak repulsion between the activator and inhibitor can substantially lower the required differential diffusivity and reaction non-linearity. In contrast, strong interactions can induce phase separation, but the resulting length scale is still typically governed by the fundamental reaction-diffusion length scale. Taken together, our theory connects traditional Turing patterns with chemically active phase separation, thus describing a wider range of systems. Moreover, we demonstrate that even weak interactions affect patterns substantially, so they should be incorporated when modeling realistic systems.

description: This project is supported by European Commission Marie Skłodowska-Curie action (Grant No. 843872). The objective of this project is to (a) develop novel FREAs with low-bandgap, matching energy levels and high electron mobility via designing novel large fused ring donor units; (b) develop high-efficiency OSCs beyond the state-of-the-art via adjusting and matching the energy levels of polymer donors and FREAs; (c) formulate key rules of designing FREAs to achieve low Eloss with high JSC and FF. We have partially achieved these objectives and published these results on the journals Advanced Energy Materials and Materials Chemistry Frontiers.

description: We present evidence of a potentially serious source of error intrinsic to all spotted cDNA microarrays that use IMAGE clones of expressed sequence tags (ESTs). We found that a high proportion of these EST sequences contain 5'-end poly(dT) sequences that are remnants from the oligo(dT)-primed reverse transcription of polyadenylated mRNA templates used to generate EST cDNA for sequence clone libraries. Analysis of expression data from two single-dye cDNA microarray experiments showed that ESTs whose sequences contain repeats of consecutive 5'-end dT residues appeared to be strongly coexpressed, while expression data of all other sequences exhibited no such pattern. Our analysis suggests that expression data from sequences containing 5' poly(dT) tracts are more likely to be due to systematic cross-hybridization of these poly(dT) tracts than to true mRNA coexpression. This indicates that existing data generated by cDNA microarrays containing IMAGE clone ESTs should be filtered to remove expression data containing significant 5' poly(dT) tracts.

description: Multiple myeloma is an incurable hematologic malignancy, its early diagnosis is important. However, the biomarker for early diagnosis is limited; hence more need to be identified. The present study aimed to explore the easily tested new biomarker in multiple myeloma by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using GSE47552. WGCNA was used to screen hub genes. Subsequently. Hub genes of multiple myeloma were obtained by intersection of DEGs and WGCNA. We used the T-test to screen highly expressed genes. Then, the diagnostic value of key genes was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Finally, expression levels of key genes were tested and proved by RT-PCR. 278 DEGs were screened by Limma package. Three modules were most significantly correlated with multiple myeloma. 238 key genes were screened after the intersection of WGCNA with DEGs. In addition, SNORNA is rarely studied in multiple myeloma, and ROC curve analysis in our prediction model showed that SNORA71A had a good prediction effect (p = 0.07). The expression of SNORA71A was increased in samples of multiple myeloma (P = 0.05). RT-PCR results showed that SNORA71A was upregulated in 51 patient specimens compared to the healthy group (P < 0.05). Linear correlation analysis showed that creatinine was positively correlated with SNORA71A (r = 0.49 P = 0.0002). This study found that SNORA71A was up-regulated and associated with the clinical stages in multiple myeloma; it suggests that SNORA71A could be used as a novel biomarker for early diagnosis and a potential therapeutic target in multiple myeloma.

description: It is now well established that globular clusters (GCs) exhibit star-to-star light-element abundance variations (known as multiple stellar populations, MPs). Such chemical anomalies have been found in (nearly) all the ancient GCs (more than 10 Gyr old) of our Galaxy and its close companions, but so far no model for the origin of MPs is able to reproduce all the relevant observations. To gain new insights into this phenomenon, we have undertaken a photometric Hubble Space Telescope survey to study clusters with masses comparable to that of old GCs, where MPs have been identified, but with significantly younger ages. Nine clusters in the Magellanic Clouds with ages between $\sim$ 1.5-11 Gyr have been targeted in this survey. We confirm the presence of multiple populations in all clusters older than 6 Gyr and we add NGC 1978 to the group of clusters for which MPs have been identified. With an age of $\sim$ 2 Gyr, NGC 1978 is the youngest cluster known to host chemical abundance spreads found to date. We do not detect evident star-to-star variations for slightly younger massive clusters ($\sim$ 1.7 Gyr), thus pointing towards an unexpected age dependence for the onset of multiple populations. This discovery suggests that the formation of MPs is not restricted to the early Universe and that GCs and young massive clusters share common formation and evolutionary processes.

description: Microbiological stability poses a significant challenge in the manufacturing of fluid and semi-solid formulations intended for topical application. One of the most effective strategies to address this issue is the incorporation of preservative substances. Ethanol is one of the most widely used natural preservatives in cosmetics. This study examined the effects of ethanol in a semi-solid formulation on the dermal penetration efficacy of a hydrophilic model drug. Dermal penetration was evaluated using the Marburg ex vivo porcine ear skin model on both intact and irritated skin. The results demonstrated that dermal penetration was about 46% lower in irritated skin compared to intact skin. Ethanol reduced the dermal penetration efficacy by nearly 40% for intact skin and by approximately 5% for irritated skin. These observations may be attributed to the formation of a “pudding skin,” where the upper layer of the skin becomes dehydrated, resulting in increased density and decreased permeability for the model drug. In intact skin, ethanol contributes to the formation of the pudding skin. For irritated skin, with its impaired barrier, the formation of a pudding skin occurs as the skin dries out. Consequently, the additional ethanol led to only a slight increase in skin dryness, resulting in only a minor decrease in the penetration efficacy of the hydrophilic model drug. In conclusion, if the skin dries out on the surface, a 'pudding skin' forms, which reduces the penetration of hydrophilic active ingredients.

description: Centrality dependence of J/psi production in Au-Au collisions at 200 GeV nucleon-nucleon center of mass energy is studied using the Glauber model plus the kinetic formation model. Initial J/psi production and destruction by incoming nucleons are described by the Glauber model. J/psi-charm equilibration in the gluon plasma is described by the kinetic formation model. We explore the possibility of J/psi suppression suggested by the recent PHENIX data. We show that the J/psi yield monotonically decreases with increasing centrality in the kinetic formation model when the charm mass is smaller than a critical mass. The final J/psi yield is between the value after the Glauber suppression and the dynamical equilibrium value. This underscores the importance of both J/psi production from d-Au collisions, which is essential in determining the Glauber suppression, and high statistics Au-Au data, which can further constrain final state J/psi-charm equilibration.

description: The statistical evidence for the detrimental effect of exposure to low levels of lead on the cognitive capacities of children has been debated for several decades. In this paper I describe how two techniques from artificial intelligence and statistics help make the statistical evidence for the accepted epidemiological conclusion seem decisive. The first is a variable-selection routine in TETRAD III for finding causes, and the second a Bayesian estimation of the parameter reflecting the causal influence of Actual Lead Exposure, a latent variable, on the measured IQ score of middle class suburban children.
