description: We consider type II (non-)geometric flux backgrounds in the absence of brane sources, and construct their explicit embedding into maximal gauged D=4 supergravity. This enables one to investigate the critical points, mass spectra and gauge groups of such backgrounds. We focus on a class of type IIA geometric vacua and find a novel, non-supersymmetric and stable AdS vacuum in maximal supergravity with a non-semisimple gauge group. Our construction relies on a non-trivial mapping between SL(2) x SO(6,6) fluxes, SU(8) mass spectra and gaugings of E7(7) subgroups.

description: Gesetzliche und private Krankenversicherungen in Deutschland unterscheiden sich in ihrer Beitragsgrundlage. Im Gegensatz zu den gesetzlichen Krankenkassen sind die Preise bei privaten Versicherern von individuellen Risikofaktoren der zu versichernden Person abhängig. Vor der sogenannten Unisex-Regelung 2013 waren private Krankenversicherungstarife für Frauen im Schnitt höher als für Männer. Nach der Unisex-Regelung entfiel das Geschlecht als Faktor für die Beitragsberechnung in der privaten Krankenversicherung. Auf Basis von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigt dieser Wochenbericht, dass die Unisex-Regelung die Wechselraten vom gesetzlichen in das private System von Frauen und Männern angenähert hat. Besonders ausgeprägt ist dieser Effekt bei Selbstständigen und geringfügig Beschäftigten, die verglichen mit Angestellten sowie Beamtinnen und Beamten weniger Beschränkungen bei der Wahl zwischen privater und gesetzlicher Versicherung unterliegen. Interpretiert man die Änderung im Wechselverhalten als eine Reaktion auf geänderte Beiträge, so legen die Ergebnisse nahe, dass Versicherte auf Auswirkungen von regulatorischen Rahmenbedingungen reagieren. Die Politik muss hierbei auf Nebenwirkungen achten. Dies betrifft auch mögliche Effekte auf die Zusammensetzung der Versicherten. So könnten etwa Maßnahmen wie die Unisex-Regelung bewirken, dass Personen mit niedrigen erwarteten Gesundheitskosten seltener aus der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung austreten.

description: We present a study of the structural phase transition, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of UO$_{2}$ by means of the local density approximation (LDA)$+U$ approach. A phase transition pressure of 40 GPa, which agrees well with the experimental value of 42 GPa, is obtained from theory at 0 K. Pressure-induced enhancements of elastic constants, elastic moduli, elastic wave velosities, and Debye temperature of the fluorite phase are observed. Phonon spectrums of both the ground state fluorite structure and high pressure cotunnite structure calculated by the supercell approach show that the cotunnite structure is dynamically unstable under ambient pressure. Based on the imaginary mode along the $Γ$$-$$X$ direction and soft phonon mode along the $Γ$$-$$Z$ direction, a transition path from cotunnite to fluorite has been identified. We calculate the lattice vibrational energy in the quasiharmonic approximation using both first-principles phonon density of state and the Debye model. Calculated temperature dependence of lattice parameter, entropy, and specific heat agree well with experimental observations in the low temperature domain. The difference of Gibbs free energy between the two phases of UO$_{2}$ has predicted a boundary in the pressure-temperature phase diagram. The solid-liquid boundary is approximated by an empirical equation using our calculated elastic constants.

description: The capture numbers entering the rate equations (RE) for submonolayer film growth are determined from extensive kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations for simple representative growth models yielding point, compact, and fractal island morphologies. The full dependence of the capture numbers on island size, and on both the coverage and the D/F ratio between the adatom diffusion coefficient D and deposition rate F is determined. Based on this information, the RE are solved to give the RE island size distribution (RE-ISD). The RE-ISDs are shown to agree well with the corresponding KMC-ISDs for all island morphologies. For compact morphologies, however, this agreement is only present for coverages smaller than about 5% due to a significantly increased coalescence rate compared to fractal morphologies. As found earlier, the scaled KMC-ISDs as a function of scaled island size approach, for fixed coverage, a limiting curve for D/F going to infinity. Our findings provide evidence that the limiting curve is independent of the coverage for point islands, while the results for compact and fractal island morphologies indicate a dependence on the coverage.

Exploring reactivity of four square planar beta-ketoaminato cobalt compounds in the [+1, +2, +3] oxidation states with applications to controlled radical polymerization and lignin degradation
Creators: name: Sherwood, Roger
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Four Schiff-base square planar β‐ketoaminato cobalt(II) compounds and their cobalt(III) ethyl derivatives were synthesized. The relative cobalt-carbon bond strengths of the latter were assessed in order to predict their relative reactivities and potential applicability as organometallic catalysts and as mediators for the radical polymerization of vinyl acetate, methyl acrylate, and acrylonitrile. ¹H NMR, ¹⁹F NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography were used to characterize all novel Co(III)Et compounds, and previously-synthesized Co(II) compounds not fully characterized. Cyclic voltammetry of all cobalt(II) compounds revealed Co(II/III) redox processes in dichloromethane, and reversible Co(I/II) couplings in donor-solvent acetonitrile. Electronic modifications of the equatorial ligands afforded a series of complexes with varying degrees of reactivity. Relative cobalt-carbon bond strengths of cobalt(III) ethyl compounds were found by monitoring their thermal decompositions in the presence of a radical trap by UV-vis, and by observing equilibrium constants for persistent radical trapping of the ethyl radicals between cobalt(II) compounds by ¹⁹F NMR. Larger bond dissociation energies were found to be largely dependent on stabilization of the Co(III) species by donor ligands; however, solvent stabilization is also thought to play a significant role. Reactions explored included simple oxidation-reductions, Heck-type cross-coupling, lignin model degradation, electrocatalytic evolution of hydrogen, and mediation of radical polymerization of functionalized alkenes. Relative affinities for axial neutral donors and dioxygen were also explored in more detail.

description: Charged impurities in semiconductor quantum dots comprise one of the main obstacles to achieving scalable fabrication and manipulation of singlet-triplet spin qubits. We theoretically show that using dots that contain several electrons each can help to overcome this problem through the screening of the rough and noisy impurity potential by the excess electrons. We demonstrate how the desired screening properties turn on as the number of electrons is increased, and we characterize the properties of a double quantum dot singlet-triplet qubit for small odd numbers of electrons per dot. We show that the sensitivity of the multi-electron qubit to charge noise may be an order of magnitude smaller than that of the two-electron qubit.

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: This is a colloquium-style introduction to the midgap excitations in superconductors known as Majorana fermions. These elusive particles, equal to their own antiparticle, may or may not exist in Nature as elementary building blocks, but in condensed matter they can be constructed out of electron and hole excitations. What is needed is a superconductor to hide the charge difference, and a topological (Berry) phase to eliminate the energy difference from zero-point motion. A pair of widely separated Majorana fermions, bound to magnetic or electrostatic defects, has non-Abelian exchange statistics. A qubit encoded in this Majorana pair is expected to have an unusually long coherence time. We discuss strategies to detect Majorana fermions in a topological superconductor, as well as possible applications in a quantum computer. The status of the experimental search is reviewed.

description: Die hohen internationalen Kapitalpositionen in Offshore-Finanzzentren haben zu viel neuer Forschung in diesem Bereich geführt. Allerdings haben der verdeckte Charakter vieler Offshore-Aktivitäten und die mangelnde Datenverfügbarkeit zur Folge, dass viele Fragen nach wie vor unerforscht sind. So ist beispielsweise nicht einmal klar, ob die Finanzindustrie tatsächlich auf den Offshore-Finanzplätzen selbst agiert oder ihre Positionen künstlich aus anderen Ländern bucht. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt anhand eines neuen Forschungsansatzes, der die Auswirkungen extremer Sturmereignisse wie dem Hurrikan Irma auf lokale Rahmenbedingungen und Finanzaktivitäten auf kleinen Inseln untersucht, dass die Offshore-Dienstleistungen wohl vornehmlich von außerhalb gebucht werden. Dem momentan üblichen Ansatz, dem Offshore-Finanzwesen über eine Regulierung vor Ort beizukommen, scheinen vor diesem Hintergrund gewisse Grenzen gesetzt.

description: Feeling safe is a major issue for cyclists, and some potential cyclists are still deterred from using the bicycle because they feel too unsafe. Assessing the subjective safety of existing cycling infrastructures and locations can be done by questionnaires that show pictures of infrastructures and ask participants for their safety ratings. However, future cycling infrastructures should also be evaluated as safe even before they are implemented. Therefore, it is desirable to have a method that is able to predict safety from infrastructural information. This study aims to propose two different ways for such a method and to test both ways in a use case. We first developed two scores, namely the Repertory Grid (RG) Score and the FixMyBerlin (FMB) Score, which predict subjective safety from objective environmental information but use different data bases and different methodologies. In a second step, we validated these scores by comparing them to questionnaire ratings that evaluated cyclists’ subjective safety at 20 locations in the city of Braunschweig, Germany. Finally, we compared the two scores as well as the questionnaire ratings with objective safety measures, namely crash statistics, at the respective locations. The results show that the RG Score has a moderate agreement and the FMB Score has a fair agreement with the questionnaire ratings. All methods agree on the overall safety evaluation of various cycling facilities. However, the RG Score showed less variance in the safety ratings, whereas the FMB Score rated most locations more unsafe than the participants in the questionnaire. Interestingly, neither the scores nor the questionnaire ratings could sufficiently deduce the occurrence of a crash at one of the locations. The findings strengthen the importance of subjective safety as a construct independent of objective safety. Furthermore, they provide insights into aspects of subjective safety that can easily be measured by objective scores, and into aspects that are important for cyclists but were not yet covered by the scores. This study, therefore, provides a basis for future considerations and future evaluation methods to assess the subjective safety of cyclists.

gamma-rays from annihilating dark matter in galaxy clusters: stacking vs single source analysis

description: Clusters of galaxies are potentially important targets for indirect searches for dark matter annihilation. Here we reassess the detection prospects for annihilation in massive halos, based on a statistical investigation of 1743 clusters in the new Meta-Catalog of X-ray Clusters. We derive a new limit for the extra-galactic dark matter annihilation background of at least 20% of that originating from the Galaxy for an integration angle of 0.1 deg. The number of clusters scales as a power law with their brightness, suggesting that stacking may provide a significant improvement over a single target analysis. The mean angle containing 80% of the dark-matter signal for the sample is ~0.15 deg, indicating that instruments with this angular resolution or better would be optimal for a cluster annihilation search based on stacking. A detailed study based on the Fermi-LAT performance and position-dependent background, suggests that stacking may result in a factor ~2 improvement in sensitivity, depending on the source selection criteria. Based on the expected performance of CTA, we find no improvement with stacking, due to the requirement for pointed observations. We note that several potentially important targets: Opiuchius, A2199, A3627 (Norma) and CIZAJ1324.7-5736 may be disfavoured due to a poor contrast with respect to the Galactic dark-matter signal. The use of the homogenised MCXC meta-catalogue provides a robust ranking of the targets, although the absolute value of their signal depends on the exact dark matter substructure content. For conservative assumptions, we find that galaxy clusters (with or without stacking) can probe down to 1e-25-1e-24 cm3/s for dark matter masses in the range 10 GeV-100 GeV. For more favourable substructure configurations, ~1e-26 cm3/s may be reached.

description: Background: Russeting is a major problem in many fruit crops. Russeting is caused by environmental factors such as wounding or moisture exposure of the fruit surface. Despite extensive research, the molecular sequence that triggers russet initiation remains unclear. Here, we present high-resolution transcriptomic data by controlled russet induction at very early stages of fruit development. During Phase I, a patch of the fruit surface is exposed to surface moisture. For Phase II, moisture exposure is terminated, and the formerly exposed surface remains dry. We targeted differentially expressed transcripts as soon as 24 h after russet induction. Results: During moisture exposure (Phase I) of ‘Pinova’ apple, transcripts associated with the cell cycle, cell wall, and cuticle synthesis (SHN3) decrease, while those related to abiotic stress increase. NAC35 and MYB17 were the earliest induced genes during Phase I. They are therefore linked to the initial processes of cuticle microcracking. After moisture removal (Phase II), the expression of genes related to meristematic activity increased (WOX4 within 24 h, MYB84 within 48 h). Genes related to lignin synthesis (MYB52) and suberin synthesis (MYB93, WRKY56) were upregulated within 3 d after moisture removal. WOX4 and AP2B3 are the earliest differentially expressed genes induced in Phase II. They are therefore linked to early events in periderm formation. The expression profiles were consistent between two different seasons and mirrored differences in russet susceptibility in a comparison of cultivars. Furthermore, expression profiles during Phase II of moisture induction were largely identical to those following wounding. Conclusions: The combination of a unique controlled russet induction technique with high-resolution transcriptomic data allowed for the very first time to analyse the formation of cuticular microcracks and periderm in apple fruit immediately after the onset of triggering factors. This data provides valuable insights into the spatial-temporal dynamics of russeting, including the synthesis of cuticles, dedifferentiation of cells, and impregnation of cell walls with suberin and lignin.

In particular two seemingly contradictory approaches are compared: (i) a complex WKB formalism, for which the centres of coherent states naturally evolve along complex trajectories, which leads to a class of complexified coherent states; (ii) the investigation of the dynamical equations for the real expectation values of position and momentum, for which an Ehrenfest theorem has been derived in a previous paper, yielding real but non-Hamiltonian classical dynamics on phase space for the real centres of coherent states. Both approaches become exact for quadratic Hamiltonians. The apparent contradiction is resolved building on an observation by Huber, Heller and Littlejohn, that complexified coherent states are equivalent if their centres lie on a specific complex Lagrangian manifold. A rich underlying complex symplectic geometry is unravelled. In particular a natural complex structure is identified that defines a projection from complex to real phase space, mapping complexified coherent states to their real equivalents.

description: We analyze the disordered Riemannian geometry resulting from random perturbations of the Euclidean metric. We focus on geodesics, the paths traced out by a particle traveling in this quenched random environment. By taking the point of the view of the particle, we show that the law of its observed environment is absolutely continuous with respect to the law of the random metric, and we provide an explicit form for its Radon-Nikodym derivative. We use this result to prove a "local Markov property" along an unbounded geodesic, demonstrating that it eventually encounters any type of geometric phenomenon. We also develop in this paper some general results on conditional Gaussian measures. Our Main Theorem states that a geodesic chosen with random initial conditions (chosen independently of the metric) is almost surely not minimizing. To demonstrate this, we show that a minimizing geodesic is guaranteed to eventually pass over a certain "bump surface," which locally has constant positive curvature. By using Jacobi fields, we show that this is sufficient to destabilize the minimizing property.

description: Submerged cultivation of Hypomontagnella monticulosa MUCL 54604 resulted in formation of a stereoisomeric mixture of new sulfur-containing sporothriolide derivatives named sporothioethers A and B. The presence of the 2-hydroxy-3-mercaptopropanoic acid moiety attenuates the antimicrobial activity in comparison to the precursor sporothriolide suggesting a detoxification mechanism. However, moderate effects on biofilms of Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus were observed for sporothriolide and sporothioethers A and B at concentrations below their MICs.

description: Regionale Beihilfen sind ein zentrales Instrument zur Stärkung der wirtschaftlichen Aktivität benachteiligter Regionen und des regionalen Zusammenhalts im Binnenmarkt. Die Europäische Kommission legt Regeln fest, damit solche Subventionen den Wettbewerb und den Handel innerhalb der EU nicht verzerren. Dieser Bericht analysiert die Auswirkung des Europäischen Rahmenwerks für regionale Beihilfe. Es wird geprüft, wie die im Modernisierungsprozess von 2014 eingeführten Einschränkungen der Beihilfen für Großunternehmen in weniger benachteiligten Fördergebieten sowie die Senkung der Beihilfehöchstgrenzen in vielen Regionen Investitionen von privaten Unternehmen beeinflusst haben. Es zeigt sich, dass die Investitionen von Unternehmen durch die Restriktionen zurückgegangen sind. Dies ist fast ausschließlich bei Großunternehmen zu beobachten. Daher wird empfohlen, die eingeführten Beschränkungen für Großunternehmen neu zu justieren. Genau diese Empfehlungen sind in den im August 2020 von der EU-Kommission vorgelegten Entwurf der überarbeiteten Leitlinien für Regionalbeihilfen aufgenommen worden.

Reactor design parameters, in-situ speciation identification, and potential balance modeling for natural organic matter removal by electrocoagulation
Creators: name: Dubrawski, Kristian Lukas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Electrocoagulation (EC), a disruptive “green” technology, was investigated for the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) from drinking water sources. Three anode materials (aluminum, zinc, and iron) and three NOM sources (Suwannee, Nordic, and a local source) were investigated. After one minute of process time, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) reduction was approximately 70-80%. High performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) fractionation showed reductions mostly in the larger apparent molecular weight (AMW) fraction of NOM, from 76% of NOM > 1450 Da initially to approximately 40% after EC. For iron EC, significant EC design variables were investigated, including: current density (i) (2.43-26.8 mA/cm²), and charge loading rate (CLR) (100 to 1000 C/L/min). Optimum NOM removal was found at i ~10 mA/cm² and lower CLR. In-situ identification of iron speciation in EC investigated the impact of i and CLR on speciation and NOM removal from a local natural source. Low i and intermediate CLR increased bulk pH and reduced bulk dissolved oxygen (DO), where green rust (GR) was identified in-situ for the first time in EC by Raman spectroscopy. Further oxidation at higher i and CLR led to magnetite (Fe₃O₄) formation, while all other conditions led to increased DO and/or increased pH, with subsequent identification of only orange lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH). GR showed the marginally higher NOM DOC and AMW fraction reductions. In synthetic water, differing operating parameters led to differences in φ and iron speciation, characterized by in-situ Raman spectroscopy, aqueous XRD, SEM, and cryo-TEM. High i in the presence of pitting promoters led to φ near unity where a GR intermediate was seen, and an end product of Fe₃O₄. A mechanism scheme summarizing EC speciation is proposed. A general model relating cell potential and current was developed for parallel plate continuous EC, relying only on geometric and tabulated variable inputs. For the model, the anode and cathode were vertically divided into n equipotential segments. Potential and energy balances were simultaneously solved for each vertical segment iteratively. Model results were in good agreement with experimental data, mean relative deviation was 9% for a low flow rate, narrow electrode gap, and polished electrodes.

description: We present an investigation in the device parameter space of band-to-band tunneling in nanowires with a diamond cubic or zincblende crystalline structure. Results are obtained from quantum transport simulations based on Non-Equilibrium Green's functions with a tight-binding atomistic Hamiltonian. Interband tunneling is extremely sensitive to the longitudinal electric field, to the nanowire cross section, through the gap, and to the material. We have derived an approximate analytical expression for the transmission probability based on WKB theory and on a proper choice of the effective interband tunneling mass, which shows good agreement with results from atomistic quantum simulation.

Perspective-taking with affected others to promote climate change mitigation

description: Prior evidence suggests that perspective-taking may promote pro-environmental behavior, at least for low-cost behaviors or local environmental problems. Climate change, however, requires costly mitigation efforts and is a global problem. Thus, in this study, we examine whether perspective-taking in the context of climate change is effective in promoting mitigation behaviors, including actual and/or costly behaviors, the mechanisms through which perspective-taking works, and if the distance to the person adversely affected by climate change matters for the effect. We conducted an online experiment with a non-student sample from Germany (n = 557), utilizing a 2 × 2 factorial design, to investigate the impact of perspective-taking and distance on three outcome measures: a climate donation, signing a petition, and approval of mitigation policies. We find that perspective-taking does not promote these mitigation behaviors, yet it raises the degree perspective-takers value and – for close others – feel connected with the affected person. Exploratory analysis shows that dispositional perspective-taking and empathic concern are correlated with mitigation behaviors.
