description: We discuss supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory coupled to dilatons in the framework of celestial holography. We show that in the presence of point-like dilaton sources, the CCFT operators associated with the gauge supermultiplet acquire a simple, factorized form. They factorize into the holomorphic (super)current part and the exponential "light" operators of Liouville theory, in the infinite central charge limit. The current sector exhibits (1,0) supersymmetry, thus implementing spacetime supersymmetry in CCFT.

description: 2-group symmetries arise in physics when a 0-form symmetry $G^{[0]}$ and a 1-form symmetry $H^{[1]}$ intertwine, forming a generalised group-like structure. Specialising to the case where both $G^{[0]}$ and $H^{[1]}$ are compact, connected, abelian groups (i.e. tori), we analyse anomalies in such `toric 2-group symmetries' using the cobordism classification. As a warm up example, we use cobordism to study various 't Hooft anomalies (and the phases to which they are dual) in Maxwell theory defined on non-spin manifolds. For our main example, we compute the 5th spin bordism group of $B|\mathbb{G}|$ where $\mathbb{G}$ is any 2-group whose 0-form and 1-form symmetry parts are both $\mathrm{U}(1)$, and $|\mathbb{G}|$ is the geometric realisation of the nerve of the 2-group $\mathbb{G}$. By leveraging a variety of algebraic methods, we show that $Ω^{\mathrm{Spin}}_5(B|\mathbb{G}|) \cong \mathbb{Z}/m$ where $m$ is the modulus of the Postnikov class for $\mathbb{G}$, and we reproduce the expected physics result for anomalies in 2-group symmetries that appear in 4d QED. Moving down two dimensions, we recap that any (anomalous) $\mathrm{U}(1)$ global symmetry in 2d can be enhanced to a toric 2-group symmetry, before showing that its associated local anomaly reduces to at most an order 2 anomaly, when the theory is defined with a spin structure.

description: Recent experimental evidence suggests that DNA damage and cell cycle regulatory proteins are involved in kidney injury and apoptosis. The checkpoint 2 gene (CHEK2) is an important transducer in DNA damage signaling pathways in response to injury, and therefore, CHEK2 variants may affect susceptibility to kidney disease.

description: We present a numerical approach to calculate non-equilibrium eigenstates of a periodically time-modulated quantum system. The approach is based on the use of a chain of single-step time-independent propagating operators. Each operator is time-specific and constructed by combining the Magnus expansion of the time-dependent system Hamiltonian with the Chebyshev expansion of an operator exponent. A construction of a unitary matrix of the Floquet operator, which evolves a system state over the full modulation period, is performed by propagating the identity matrix over the period. The independence of the evolutions of basis vectors makes the propagation stage suitable for implementation on a parallel cluster. Once the propagation stage is completed, a routine diagonalization of the Floquet matrix is performed. Finally, an additional propagation round, now with the eigenvectors as the initial states, allows to resolve the time-dependence of the Floquet states and calculate their characteristics. We demonstrate the accuracy and scalability of the algorithm by applying it to calculate the Floquet states of two quantum models, namely (i) a synthesized random-matrix Hamiltonian and (ii) a many-body Bose-Hubbard dimer, both of the size up to $10^4$ states.
Bottom quark contribution to spin-dependent dark matter detection

description: We investigate a previously overlooked bottom quark contribution to the spin-dependent cross section for Dark Matter(DM) scattering from the nucleon. While the mechanism is relevant to any supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, for illustrative purposes we explore the consequences within the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model(MSSM). We study two cases, namely those where the DM is predominantly Gaugino or Higgsino. In both cases, there is a substantial, viable region in parameter space ($m_{\tilde{b}} - m_χ\lesssim \mathcal{O}(100)$ GeV) in which the bottom contribution becomes important. We show that a relatively large contribution from the bottom quark is consistent with constraints from spin-independent DM searches, as well as some incidental model dependent constraints.

description: Drying characteristics of milk whey protein concentrate (WPC) and micellar caseins (MC) were investigated through a custom-designed mobile thin-film dryer. Several mixtures containing different WPC to MC ratios were tested in drying experiments. Both the constant drying period and falling rate period were identified. It was noticed the initial drying rates at constant drying period were slightly hindered by the presence of protein even at low concentrations. The drying kinetics was investigated by the characteristic drying curve (CDC) method and the drying behavior at the falling rate period was evaluated by a specific parameter n. As the result, while WPC exhibited a uniform master characteristic drying curve through different drying conditions, samples with certain amount of MC showed the more “scattered” curves, which lead to a wide distribution of n. Besides, it was observed that a thin layer of crust formed during the drying process. The analysis of the drying characteristics of MC led to a meaningful correlation with the morphology and structural properties. As the morphology of the crust was determined by the velocity and temperature of the impinging air, it became an inherent limitation for this thin film drying method to investigate materials with such crust formation phenomena.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the impact on hypertension prevalence of measurement error and selected risk factors.
Aristofane e i presocratici

description: Oggetto della dissertazione � lo studio dei riferimenti al pensiero scientifico-filosofico antico, comunemente definito ?presocratico?, presenti nella commedia di Aristofane. Con questo studio si � inteso recuperare informazioni sulle dottrine presocratiche, svolgendo, di necessit�, anche un?esegesi del riferimento comico. La tesi si articola in tre parti. La prima, pi� consistente, � dedicata allo studio dei riferimenti aristofanei alle dottrine naturali. Dall?analisi la meteorologia emerge come oggetto di parodia non soltanto nei contenuti ma anche nelle strutture stilistiche e nel lessico delle sue formulazioni; un indizio che muove nella direzione di una diffusione ?pubblica? di certi testi presocratici, anche se non sembra possibile ricondurre i riferimenti ad un pensatore specifico. Taluni momenti parodici delle Nuvole costituiscono infine una fonte preziosa per ricostruire dottrine che sfuggono alle antologie presocratiche. La parte centrale � dedicata ai riferimenti alle dottrine linguistiche. In questo caso il nome di Protagora emerge con relativa sicurezza come l?autore delle dottrine parodiate. La terza � ultima parte � dedicata all?analisi di alcune espressioni che si riferiscono all?ambito etico-politico, in particolare, alla riflessione filosofica sul conflitto tra pulsioni naturali e norme sociali, il quale governerebbe l?agire dell?uomo.

description: Purpose – The presentation summarizes the state-of-the-art in aircraft end-of-life strategies. Methodology – A literature review is the basic research method utilized. A visit to a dismantling site complemented the findings. Journeys and the Internet show examples of special reuse approaches giving aircraft and components a second life. Findings – In the past aircraft went to "boneyards" at their end-of-live where they were simply left on their own. This should be avoided in the future. Instead aircraft are initially parked and stored. If no further operation is possible, aircraft are dismantled. Components and material is recycled as far as possible. The rest is disposed. Research has been done on the topic by Airbus, Boeing, other industrial companies, and academic institutions. The aircraft recycling industry starts to build up now by the launch of several recycling plants. The aircraft recycling market will slowly mature with associations like the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA) and with the publication of guidance material for best practices. The significant higher percentage of composites in modern aircraft types is a challenge for aircraft recycling. Special reuse approaches are only a niche market and not able to cope with the number of aircraft that need to be decommissioned each year. Value – The presentation gives a year 2022 overview on the state-of-the-art of aircraft end-of-life handling with many pictures.

description: Blunted blood pressure dipping is an established predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Although blunted blood pressure dipping is more common in African Americans than whites, the factors contributing to this ethnic difference are not well understood. This study examined the relationships of blood pressure dipping to ethnicity, body mass index, sleep quality, and fall in sympathetic nervous system activity during the sleep-period.

description: Using an $N$-body evolution code that does not rely on softened potentials, I have created a suite of unbound interacting cluster pair simulations. The motions of the centers of mass of the clusters have been tracked and compared to the trajectories of point masses interacting via one of four different softened potential prescriptions. I find that the relationship between the impact parameter of the cluster interaction and the point-mass softening length that best approximates each cluster's center-of-mass motion depends on the adopted prescription. In general, the range of allowed softening lengths grows roughly linearly with the impact parameter, but zero softening is acceptable in the majority of situations. In an $N$-body simulation that adopts a fixed softening length, such relationships lead to the possibility of two-body effects, like dynamical friction, being either larger or smaller than the corresponding cluster situation. Further consideration of more specific $N$-body situations leads estimating that a very small fraction of point-mass encounters experience two-body effects significantly different than those of equivalent clusters.

Year: 2020

description: Introduzione L'asma � una delle malattie respiratorie croniche tra le pi� comuni in tutto il mondo. Si stima che una percentuale di pazienti tra i 5 e i 10% sia affetta da una forma di asma grave, spesso non completamente controllata dalla terapia inalatoria, ma solo da una aggiunta cronica o da al bisogno di corticosteroidi sistemici. Nel corso degli anni sono stati sviluppati diversi farmaci biologici per ridurre l'uso di corticosteroidi sistemici e i loro effetti avversi a lungo termine. Uno di questi, il mepolizumab, � attivo sulla citochina IL-5, che � responsabile della maturazione, dello sviluppo e della produzione di eosinofili, a lungo studiati ed individuati come possibili responsabili di diverse forme di questa malattia. Obiettivo In primo luogo abbiamo voluto analizzare le caratteristiche di base dei pazienti trattati nella vita reale e di quelli arruolati in studi clinici randomizzati di mepolizumab, al fine di verificare la possibile presenza di differenze. Successivamente siamo andati a valutare gli effetti reali di un farmaco anti IL-5 (mepolizumab) sull'efficacia nel ridurre l'esacerbazione dell'asma, l'assunzione di steroidi e migliorare la funzione polmonare. In secondo luogo � stato anche valutato il profilo di sicurezza del mepoluzumab, i possibili effetti collaterali legati al passaggio ad esso partendo da altri farmaci biologici, la gestione dei costi di questo tipo di terapia e la ricerca di possibili marcatori di risposta predittivi. Materiali Sono stati effettuati diversi studi retrospettivi multicentrici al fine di ottenere i dati necessari per sviluppare le analisi necessarie per gli obiettivi prefissati. Risultati Il farmaco si � dimostrato efficace negli studi clinici come nella vita reale, ma con alcune differenze soprattutto nel tipo di paziente che viene trattato nella realt� rispetto a quello degli studi clinici. Anche il profilo di sicurezza si � dimostrato molto promettente. Un'analisi del costo del farmaco ha dimostrato che l'introduzione del mepolizumab nella terapia sebbene abbia un peso nel computo totale della spesa di ogni paziente trattato con questo farmaco, la spesa stessa pu� ridursi prospetticamente con una progressiva diminuzione dell'incidenza di eventi avversi da terapia corticosteroide cronica. Conclusioni In conclusione, il mepolizumab � apparso un farmaco promettente nel controllo dell'asma grave nei pazienti trattati nella vita reale, nonostante alcune differenze di base tra i soggetti arruolati negli studi clinici. Il profilo di sicurezza � rimasto promettente anche in coloro che hanno dovuto sostituire un altro biologico con mepolizumab. L'aspetto farmaco-economico � stato particolarmente interessante, infatti, nonostante il mepolizumab aumenti la spesa per paziente, in un solo anno, senza contare i possibili effetti di risparmio a lungo termine, il farmaco si � dimostrato in grado di autofinanziarsi per circa il 25% della spesa totale.
Recent Findings in the Genetics of Blood Pressure and Hypertension Traits

description: We provide an overview of ongoing discovery efforts in the genetics of blood pressure (BP) and hypertension (HTN) traits. Two large genome-wide association meta-analyses of individuals of European descent were recently published, revealing ~13 new loci for BP traits. Only two of these loci harbor genes in a pathway known to affect BP (CYP17A1 and NPPA/NPPB). Functional variants in these loci are still unknown. Few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of complex diseases have been published from non-European populations. The study of populations with different evolutionary history and linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure, such as individuals of African ancestry, may provide an opportunity to further narrow these regions to identify the causal gene(s). Several collaborative efforts toward discovery of low-frequency variants and copy number variation for BP traits are currently underway. As evidence for new loci for complex diseases accumulates the assessment of the epidemiologic architecture of these variants in populations assumes higher priority. The impact of public health–relevant contexts such as diet, physical activity, psychosocial factors, and aging has not been examined for most common variants associated with BP.

description: We report the structural and magnetic properties of high-quality bulk single crystals of the kagome ferromagnet Fe$_3$Sn. The dependence of magnetisation on the magnitude and orientation of the external field reveals strong easy-plane type uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, which shows a monotonous increase from $K_1=-0.99\times 10^6 J/m^3$ at 300\,K to $-1.23\times10^6 J/m^3$ at 2\,K. Our \textit{ab initio} electronic structure calculations yield the value of total magnetic moment of about 6.9 $μ_B$/f.u. and a magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy density of 0.406\,meV/f.u. ($1.16\times10^6 J/m^3$) both being in good agreement with the experimental values. The self-consistent DFT computations for the components of the spin/orbital moments indicate that the small difference between the saturation magnetisations measured along and perpendicular to the kagome layers results from the subtle balance between the Fe and Sn spin/orbital moments on the different sites. In zero field, magnetic force microscopy reveals micrometer-scale magnetic vortices with weakly pinned cores that vanish at $\sim$3\,T applied perpendicular to the kagome plane. Our micromagnetic simulations, using the experimentally determined value of anisotropy, well reproduce the observed vortex-domain structure. The present study, in comparison with the easy-axis ferromagnet Fe$_3$Sn$_2$, shows that varying the stacking of kagome layers provides an efficient control over magnetic anisotropy in this family of Fe-based kagome magnets.

Fingers-of-God effect of infalling satellite galaxies

description: Nonlinear redshift-space distortion known as the Fingers-of-God (FoG) effect is a major systematic uncertainty in redshift-space distortion studies conducted to test gravity models. The FoG effect has been usually attributed to the random motion of galaxies inside their clusters. When the internal galaxy motion is not well virialized, however, the coherent infalling motion toward the cluster center generates the FoG effect. Here we derive an analytical model of the satellite velocity distribution due to the infall motion combined with the random motion. We show that the velocity distribution becomes far from Maxwellian when the infalling motion is dominant. We use simulated subhalo catalogs to find that the contribution of infall motion is important to massive subhalos and that the velocity distribution has a top-hat like shape as expected from our analytic model. We also study the FoG effect due to infall motion on the redshift-space power spectrum. Using simulated mock samples of luminous red galaxies constructed from halos and massive subhalos in N-body simulations, we show that the redshift-space power spectra can differ from expectations when the infall motion is ignored.

Planning and Control Strategies for Motion and Interaction of the Humanoid Robot COMAN+
Creators: name: RUSCELLI, FRANCESCO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: Despite the majority of robotic platforms are still confined in controlled environments such as factories, thanks to the ever-increasing level of autonomy and the progress on human-robot interaction, robots are starting to be employed for different operations, expanding their focus from uniquely industrial to more diversified scenarios. Humanoid research seeks to obtain the versatility and dexterity of robots capable of mimicking human motion in any environment. With the aim of operating side-to-side with humans, they should be able to carry out complex tasks without posing a threat during operations. In this regard, locomotion, physical interaction with the environment and safety are three essential skills to develop for a biped. Concerning the higher behavioural level of a humanoid, this thesis addresses both ad-hoc movements generated for specific physical interaction tasks and cyclic movements for locomotion. While belonging to the same category and sharing some of the theoretical obstacles, these actions require different approaches: a general high-level task is composed of specific movements that depend on the environment and the nature of the task itself, while regular locomotion involves the generation of periodic trajectories of the limbs. Separate planning and control architectures targeting these aspects of biped motion are designed and developed both from a theoretical and a practical standpoint, demonstrating their efficacy on the new humanoid robot COMAN+, built at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. The problem of interaction has been tackled by mimicking the intrinsic elasticity of human muscles, integrating active compliant controllers. However, while state-of-the-art robots may be endowed with compliant architectures, not many can withstand potential system failures that could compromise the safety of a human interacting with the robot. This thesis proposes an implementation of such low-level controller that guarantees a fail-safe behaviour, removing the threat that a humanoid robot could pose if a system failure occurred.

description: We study the dynamics given by the iteration of a (half-line) CMV matrix with sparse, high barriers. Using an approach of Tcheremchantsev, we are able to explicitly compute the transport exponents for this model in terms of the given parameters. In light of the connection between CMV matrices and quantum walks on the half-line due to Cantero-Grünbaum-Moral-Velázquez, our result also allows us to compute transport exponents corresponding to a quantum walk which is sparsely populated with strong reflectors. To the best of our knowledge, this provides the first rigorous example of a quantum walk which exhibits quantum intermittency, i.e., nonconstancy of the transport exponents. When combined with the CMV version of the Jitomirskaya-Last theory of subordinacy and the general discrete-time dynamical bounds from Damanik-Fillman-Vance, we are able to exactly compute the Hausdorff dimension of the associated spectral measure.

description: La fibrosi polmonare idiopatica (IPF) � definita come una forma specifica di fibrosi polmonare ad andamento progressivo ad eziologia sconosciuta. Nel 2018 la Fleischner Society ha modificato la classificazione diagnostica della malattia introducendo quattro categorie di possibilit� diagnostica con livelli di specificit� e confidenza diversi, rivalutando il valore predittivo delle alterazioni HRTC fibrosanti quali reticoli e bronchiectasie anche in assenza di honeycombing. Le linee guida definiscono l?HRTC come una componente essenziale e fondamentale per la diagnosi che nell?adeguato setting clinico e laboratoristico permette di evitare al paziente la biopsia chirurgica o alternativamente la criobiopsia transbonchiale. Le linee guida Fleischner confermano il ruolo centrale della biopsia chirurgica, definita il gold standard per la diagnosi, ed in attesa di raccogliere maggiori evidenze scientifiche in merito riservano tale metodica a centri esperti L?obiettivo di questo studio � di valutare la correlazione tra lo studio HRTC e i dati spirometrici in al fine di determinare la capacit� della diagnostica per immagini di determinare la severit� della malattia in pazienti sottoposti a terapia antifibrotica per IPF alla prima rivalutazione dopo la terapia (media di 6 mesi di terapia). Sono stati inclusi nello studio 30 pazienti di cui 17 uomini e 13 donne, et� media di 60,7 anni, tra gennaio 2016 e giugno 2019 sono stati sottoposti presso il Policlinico San Martino di Genova a valutazione multidisciplinare e successivo iter diagnostico per confermare la diagnosi di IPF. Alla valutazione HRTC la totalit� dei pazienti (100%) presentava come segno di fibrosi, di grado variabile, la presenza di alterazioni subpleuriche a reticolo, a seguite il 99% dei pazienti presentava bronchiectasie da trazione nel contesto di tali alterazioni fibrotiche. A seguire l?honeycombing (86%) a piccole cisti, presente nel 96% dei pazienti. Nel gruppo di studio abbiamo riscontrato un aumento del rapporto FEF25-75/FCV, come aspetto funzionale di fibrosi, in accordo con quanto riportato in letteratura. L?indice TID correla positivamente con i valori di FEF25-75/FCV. Nell?esaminare le correlazioni nella totalit� della popolazione di studio secondo il coefficiente di correlazione dei Karl Pearson si � stabilita una correlazione significativa tra l?indice TID e la DLCO (correlazione negativa) (p=0.001). Non si sono riscontrate correlazioni significative tra il FIB score, i diametri di PA e gli indici funzionali. I limiti del nostro studio sono dettati dalla singola valutazione retrospettiva delle HRTC, la valutazione e quantificazione delle alterazioni degli score proprio a tutti gli score semiquantitativi. Per quanto si tratti di una valutazione retrospettiva il TID score pu� essere considerato un indice surrogato di monitoraggio della malattia e di valutazione della gravit�.

description: A general analysis of line defect renormalisation group (RG) flows in the $\varepsilon$ expansion below $d=4$ dimensions is undertaken. The defect beta function for general scalar-fermion bulk theories is computed to next-to-leading order in the bulk couplings. Scalar models as well as scalar-fermion models with various global symmetries in the bulk are considered at leading non-trivial order. Different types of potential infrared (IR) defect conformal field theories (dCFTs) and their RG stability are discussed. The possibility of multiple IR stable dCFTs is realised in specific examples with hypertetrahedral symmetry in the bulk. The one-point function coefficient of the order parameter in the stable IR dCFT of the cubic model is computed at next-to-leading order and compared with that in the IR dCFT of the Heisenberg model.

description: A fully-automated pole-tip shape optimization tool, involving write head geometry construction, meshing, micromagnetic simulation and evaluation, is presented. Optimizations have been performed for three different writing schemes (centered, staggered and shingled) for an underlying bit patterned media with an areal density of 2.12 Tdots/in$^2$ . Optimizations were performed for a single-phase media with 10 nm thickness and a mag spacing of 8 nm. From the computed write field and its gradient and the minimum energy barrier during writing for islands on the adjacent track, the overall write error rate is computed. The overall write errors are 0.7, 0.08, and 2.8 x 10$^{-5}$ for centered writing, staggered writing, and shingled writing.

Creators: name: Utah State University
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Order form for HWI monograph, Methods for Managing Human–Deer Conflicts in Urban, Suburban, and Exurban Areas. This monograph identifies challenges and benefits associated with many human–deer conflict mitigation actions as well as methods to monitor the response of deer populations to management actions. Deer exploit urban, suburban, and exurban areas where human populations provide anthropogenic attractants, either intentionally or inadvertently, which often leads to human–deer conflicts. Mitigating actions have varying degrees of efficacy and may not be effective or accepted in every situation. Wildlife and municipal managers must work together to seek methods to reduce attractants, mitigate conflicts, and perpetuate the conservation of wildlife species that adds to the appreciation of nature in our lives.
Bifurcation and fission in the liquid drop model: a phase-field approach

description: The liquid drop model, originally used to model atomic nuclei, describes the competition between surface tension and Coulomb force. To help understand how a ball loses stability and becomes prone to fission, we calculate the minimum energy path of the fission process, and study the bifurcation branch conjectured by Bohr and Wheeler. We then present the two-dimensional analogue for comparison. Our study is conducted with the help of numerical simulations via a phase-field approach.

MILJENKO SMOJE: IL CRONISTA DI SPALATO, OVVERO IL RAPPORTO TRA PERIFERIA E CENTRO TRA CAMBIAMENTI STORICI, POLITICI E DI MENTALIT�
Creators: name: ESPOSITO, MATTEO

Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the Miljenko Smoje?s literary world. First of all I analyzed the particularities of Split, the city where the author lived all his life long. To better understand the mentality of the people living there I decided to follow three main paths: the historical, the geographical, and the cultural one. Infact without a deep comprehension of the culture it is even impossible to really understand the smojan work. I have focussed the attention on the concept of conflict, considered as a purposeful and inclusive attitude recognized not only in spalatian mentality, but even in all Mediterranean area. Then I described the history of spalatian dialectal literature since Marko Uvodi? Spli?anin till feralovci. This part of the study has been dedicated in particular to the poetics analysis of the considered authors. Finally I analyzed Miljenko Smoje?s life and work, firstly across its biography and secondly by a careful study of the most important literary works such us Na?e Malo misto (Our Little place) and Velo misto (Big place). In this last part of the study I wanted to demonstrate the importance of Smoje?s work inside the cultural and literary develop not only of Split, but of Croatia and Yugoslavia in general, emphasizing and underling that the use of medias (newspapers and television) have contributed to the success of this author, very popular, but still really undiscovered and poorly studied by Croatian critics.

Possible atomic structures for the sub-bandgap absorption of chalcogen hyperdoped silicon

description: Single-crystal silicon wafers were hyperdoped respectively by sulfur, selenium, and tellurium element using ion implantation and nanosecond laser melting. The hyperdoping of such chalcogen elements endowed the treated silicon with a strong and wide sub-bandgap light absorptance. When these hyperdoped silicons were thermally annealed even at low temperatures (such as 200~400 oC), however, this extra sub-bandgap absorptance began to attenuate. In order to explain this attenuation of absorptance, alternatively, we consider it corresponding to a chemical decomposition reaction from optically absorbing structure to non-absorbing structure, and obtain a very good fitting to the attenuated absorptances by using Arrhenius equation. Further, we extract the reaction activation energies from the fittings and they are 0.343(+/- 0.031) eV for S-, 0.426(+/-0.042) eV for Se-, and 0.317(+/-0.033) eV for Te-hyperdoped silicon, respectively. We discuss these activation energies in term of the bond energies of chalcogen-Si metastable bonds, and finally suggest that several high-energy interstitial sites instead of the substitutional site, are very possibly the atomic structures that are responsible for the sub-bandgap absorptance of chalcogen hyperdoped silicon.
