description: Lattice studies of monopole condensation in QCD are based on the construction of a disorder parameter, a creation operator of monopoles which is written in terms of the gauge fields. This procedure is expected to work for any system which presents duality. We check it on the Ising model in 2d, which is exactly solvable. The output is an amusing exercise in statistical mechanics.

description: To formulate the universal constraints of quantum statistics data of generic long-range entangled quantum systems, we introduce the geometric-topology surgery theory on spacetime manifolds where quantum systems reside, cutting and gluing the associated quantum amplitudes, specifically in 2+1 and 3+1 spacetime dimensions. First, we introduce the fusion data for worldline and worldsheet operators capable of creating anyonic excitations of particles and strings, well-defined in gapped states of matter with intrinsic topological orders. Second, we introduce the braiding statistics data of particles and strings, such as the geometric Berry matrices for particle-string Aharonov-Bohm, 3-string, 4-string, or multi-string adiabatic loop braiding process, encoded by submanifold linkings, in the closed spacetime 3-manifolds and 4-manifolds. Third, we derive new `quantum surgery' formulas and constraints, analogous to Verlinde formula associating fusion and braiding statistics data via spacetime surgery, essential for defining the theory of topological orders, 3d and 4d TQFTs and potentially correlated to bootstrap boundary physics such as gapless modes, extended defects, 2d and 3d conformal field theories or quantum anomalies. This article is meant to be an extended and further detailed elaboration of our previous work [arXiv:1602.05951] and Chapter 6 of [arXiv:1602.05569]. Our theory applies to general quantum theories and quantum mechanical systems, also applicable to, but not necessarily requiring the quantum field theory description.

description: A new oxidovanadium(IV) complex VO(L)(Jug) (HL = 5-methoxy-1,3-bis (1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)benzene, Jug = juglone) was synthesized and characterized. Interactions of the V(IV) complex with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) and human serum albumin were studied using different techniques such as UV–vis and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The experimental results were confirmed by the molecular docking study. The oxidovanadium(IV) complex can efficiently cleave pUC19 DNA in the presence of Hydrogen peroxide. Also, the in vitro cytotoxicity properties of the oxidovanadium(IV) complex was evaluated against MCF-7, HPG-2 and HT-29 cancer cell lines and HEK293 non-malignant fibroblasts were evaluated and compared with free ligands, VOSO4 and cisplatin as reference drugs.

description: New physics in the neutrino sector might be necessary to address anomalies between different neutrino oscillation experiments. Intriguingly, it also offers a possible solution to the discrepant cosmological measurements of $H_0$ and $σ_8$. We show here that delaying the onset of neutrino free-streaming until close to the epoch of matter-radiation equality can naturally accommodate a larger value for the Hubble constant $H_0=72.3 \pm 1.4$ km/s/Mpc and a lower value of the matter fluctuations $σ_8=0.786\pm 0.020$, while not degrading the fit to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) damping tail. We achieve this by introducing neutrino self-interactions in the presence of a non-vanishing sum of neutrino masses. This strongly interacting neutrino cosmology prefers $N_{\rm eff} = 4.02 \pm 0.29$, which has interesting implications for particle model-building and neutrino oscillation anomalies. We show that the absence of the neutrino free-streaming phase shift on the CMB can be compensated by shifting the value of other cosmological parameters, hence providing an important caveat to the detections made in the literature. Due to their impact on the evolution of the gravitational potential at early times, self-interacting neutrinos and their subsequent decoupling leave a rich structure on the matter power spectrum. In particular, we point out the existence of a novel localized feature appearing on scales entering the horizon at the onset of neutrino free-streaming. While the interacting neutrino cosmology provides a better global fit to current cosmological data, we find that traditional Bayesian analyses penalize the model as compared to the standard cosmological. Our analysis shows that it is possible to find radically different cosmological models that nonetheless provide excellent fits to the data, hence providing an impetus to thoroughly explore alternate cosmological scenarios.

brace treatment
Chêneau brace
cutting edge standard
long-term follow-up

description: Introduction: Brace treatment during the growth spurt is the primary treatment for patients with scoliosis. Scoliosis is regarded as a three-dimensional deformity of the spine and trunk. The standard of bracing worldwide varies. Patients cannot rely on a certain standard of application among practitioners. From evidence available in literature it has been determined that braces effectively stop curvature progression and some even improve trunk deformity. However, questions still remain about stabilization in the long term. The aim of this case report is to show a case with lasting clinical and radiological correction over time, after weaning. Case Report: A girl with AIS was treated with a Chêneau light brace starting in 2005. At the start of treatment, she was 11 years old, Tanner stage was 2 and the Cobb angle of the single thoracic curvature was 38°. After two years of treatment the brace had to be renewed. In the x-ray taken prior to the adjustment of the new brace Cobb angle measurement was 19°. Weaning began at the age of 15 as there was no residual growth expected. Cobb angle at weaning was 14°. Recently, the patient presented at the age of nearly 21 years, five and a half years after brace weaning. There was no change with respect to trunk deformity when compared to the intermediate result achieved 2007. Final Cobb angle was 19°, half of the Cobb angle at the start of treatment. The patient has full functionality and is highly satisfied with the end result. Conclusion: Bracing scoliosis may be highly efficient and is supported by scientific evidence. Bracing according to the cutting-edge developments can improve the angle of curvature as well as the trunk deformity. Bracing according to cutting-edge developments are able to lead to relevant and lasting improvements of Cobb angle as well as trunk deformity in the long-term.
Recovering Physical Parameters from Galaxy Spectra Using MOPED

description: We derive physical parameters of galaxies from their observed spectrum, using MOPED, the optimized data compression algorithm of Heavens, Jimenez & Lahav 2000. Here we concentrate on parametrising galaxy properties, and apply the method to the NGC galaxies in Kennicutt's spectral atlas. We focus on deriving the star formation history, metallicity and dust content of galaxies. The method is very fast, taking a few seconds of CPU time to estimate 17 parameters, and so specially suited to study of large data sets, such as the Anglo-Australian 2 degree field galaxy survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Without the power of MOPED, the recovery of star formation histories in these surveys would be impractical. In the Kennicutt atlas, we find that for the spheroidals a small recent burst of star formation is required to provide the best fit to the spectrum. There is clearly a need for theoretical stellar atmospheric models with spectral resolution better than 1Åif we are to extract all the rich information that large redshift surveys contain in their galaxy spectra.

description: Ladle stirring is an important step of the steelmaking process to homogenize the temperature and the chemical composition of the liquid steel and to remove inclusions before casting. Gas is injected from the bottom of the bath to induce a turbulent flow of the liquid steel. Multiphase modeling of ladle stirring can become computationally expensive, especially when used within optimal flow control problems. This paper focuses therefore on single-phase flow models. It aims at improving the existing models from the literature. Simulations in a 2d axial-symmetrical configuration, as well as, in a real 3d laboratory-scale ladle, are performed. The results obtained with the present model are in a relative good agreement with experimental data and suggest that it can be used as an efficient model in optimal flow control problems.

description: These are notes for lectures delivered at the NATO ASI on Dynamics in Leiden, The Netherlands, in July 1998. The main concepts relating to quantum phase transitions are explained, using the paramagnet-to-ferromagnet transition of itinerant electrons as the primary example. Some aspects of metal-insulator transitions are also briefly discussed. The exposition is strictly pedagogical in nature, with no ambitions with respect to completeness or going into technical details. The goal of the lectures is to provide a bridge between textbooks on classical critical phenomena and the current literature on quantum phase transitions. Some familiarity with the concepts of classical phase transitions is helpful, but not absolutely necessary.

Fast Radio Bursts and cosmological tests

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider future cosmological tests based on observations of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). We use Illustris Simulation to realistically estimate the scatter in the dispersion measure (DM) of FRBs caused by the inhomogeneous distribution of ionized gas in the Intergalactic Medium (IGM). We find ~13% scatter in DM to a source at z=1 and ~7% at z=3 (one sigma). The distribution of DM is close to Gaussian. We simulate samples of FRBs and examine their applicability to simple cosmological tests. Our calculations show that using a sample of 100 FRBs and fixing cosmological model one can find the redshift and sample averaged fraction of ionized gas with ~1% uncertainty. Finding the ionized fraction with ~1% accuracy at few different epochs would require ~10 000 FRBs with known redshifts. Because DM is proportional to the product of ionized fraction, baryon density and the Hubble constant it is impossible to constrain these parameters separately with FRBs. Constraints on cosmological densities are possible in a flat LCDM model but give uninterestingly low accuracy. Using FRBs with other type of data improves the constraints, but the role of FRBs is not crucial. Thus constraints on the distribution of ionized gas are probably the most promising application of FRBs which allow for "tomography" if sources redshifts are known, as opposed to measuring electron scattering optical depth or S-Z y parameters with CMB observations.

description: Background: Vildagliptin is indicated for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, the onset and exacerbation of diabetic complications in Japanese T2DM patients treated with vildagliptin is unknown. Research design and methods: This 2-year post-marketing surveillance (PMS) assessed the real-world safety and efficacy of vildagliptin therapy in 19,218 Japanese T2DM patients. The relationship between the incidence of macro- and microvascular complications with patient characteristics and changes in glycemic control (HbA1c) were evaluated. Results: The incidences of macro- and microvascular diseases were 1.14% and 3.09%, respectively. Patients with HbA1c ≥8.4% had a higher odds ratio (OR) for micro- and macrovascular disease (OR: 2.02 and 1.90) compared with patients with HbA1c <6.9%. Patient characteristics (OR, 95% CI) associated with macrovascular disease were age (1.04, 1.01–1.07) and a history of macrovascular disease (3.38, 1.98–5.75). Microvascular disease was associated with a final HbA1c level ≥7.0% (1.48, 1.11–1.98) and previous diabetic nephropathy (1.42, 1.05–1.93). The mean (SD) HbA1c decreased from 7.89% (1.46%) to 7.05% (0.99%) after 24 months. Conclusions: Vildagliptin elicited no increases/exacerbations of diabetic complications; this PMS suggested that the incidence of diabetic complications tends to be low in subjects with good HbA1c control.

The first topic includes light scattering experiments which probe the excitations of a condensate in both the free-particle and phonon regime. At higher light intensity, a new form of superradiance and phase-coherent matter wave amplification were observed. We also discuss properties of spinor condensates and describe studies of ground--state spin domain structures and dynamical studies which revealed metastable excited states and quantum tunneling.

description: The HArps-n red Dwarf Exoplanet Survey is providing a major contribution to the widening of the current statistics of low-mass planets, through the in-depth analysis of precise radial velocity measurements in a narrow range of spectral sub-types. As part of that program, we obtained radial velocity measurements of Gl 686, an M1 dwarf at d = 8.2 pc. The analysis of data obtained within an intensive observing campaign demonstrates that the excess dispersion is due to a coherent signal, with a period of 15.53 d. Almost simultaneous photometric observations were carried out within the APACHE and EXORAP programs to characterize the stellar activity and to distinguish periodic variations related to activity from signals due to the presence of planetary companions, complemented also with ASAS photometric data. We took advantage of the available radial velocity measurements for this target from other observing campaigns. The analysis of the radial velocity composite time series from the HIRES, HARPS and HARPS-N spectrographs, consisting of 198 measurements taken over 20 years, enabled us to address the nature of periodic signals and also to characterize stellar physical parameters (mass, temperature, and rotation). We report the discovery of a super-Earth orbiting at a distance of 0.092 AU from the host star Gl 686. Gl 686 b has a minimum mass of 7.1 +/- 0.9 MEarth and an orbital period of 15.532 +/- 0.002 d. The analysis of the activity indexes, correlated noise through a Gaussian process framework and photometry, provides an estimate of the stellar rotation period at 37 d, and highlights the variability of the spot configuration during the long timespan covering 20 yrs. The observed periodicities around 2000 d likely point to the existence of an activity cycle.

description: We study order parameter fluctuation effects in the superconducting state as a possible precursor to the pseudogap phenomena. Using a low-energy effective theory in the d-wave BCS model, we self-consistently calculate the single-particle properties. We find that the fluctuations reduce the spectral gap, and the shape of the gap is deformed, showing reduced slope of the gap at the nodes. We also show the angle-dependence of the quasiparticle lifetime due to the fluctuations.

Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic data (UV, IR, HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR). Compounds 1 and 2 were screened for their inhibitory activity against HSV-1 and influenza A (H3N2) using acyclovir (ACV, IC50 = 0.67 μM) and oseltamivir (IC50 = 2.01 μM) as a positive control. Compound 1 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against HSV-1 and influenza A (H3N2) with IC50 values of 11.11 and 8.62 μM, respectively.

description: Stem cell therapy is one of the most promising strategies to restore blood perfusion and promote muscleregeneration in ischemic limbs. Yet its therapeutic efficacy remains low owing to the inferior cell survivalunder the low oxygen and nutrient environment of the injured limbs. To increase therapeutic efficacy,high rates of both short- and long-term cell survival are essential, which current approaches do not support.In this work, we hypothesized that a high rate of short-term cell survival can be achieved by introducinga prosurvival environment into the stem cell delivery system to enhance cell survival beforevascularization is established; and that a high rate of long-term cell survival can be attained by buildinga proangiogenic environment in the system to quickly vascularize the limbs. The system was based on abiodegradable and thermosensitive poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide)-based hydrogel, a prosurvival andproangiogenic growth factor bFGF, and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). bFGFcan be continuously released from the system for 4 weeks. The released bFGF significantly improvedMSC survival and paracrine effects under low nutrient and oxygen conditions (0% FBS and 1% O2)in vitro. The prosurvival effect of the bFGF on MSCs was resulted from activating cell Kruppel-like factor4 (KLF4) pathway. When transplanted into the ischemic limbs, the system dramatically improved MSCsurvival. Some of the engrafted cells were differentiated into skeletal muscle and endothelial cells,respectively. The system also promoted the proliferation of host cells. After only 2 weeks of implantation,tissue blood perfusion was completely recovered; and after 4 weeks, the muscle fiber diameter wasrestored similarly to that of the normal limbs. These pronounced results demonstrate that the developedstem cell delivery system has a potential for ischemic limb regeneration.

description: We explore the use of multiresolution analysis techniques as texture attributes for seismic image characterization, especially in representing subsurface structures in large migrated seismic data. Namely, we explore the Gaussian pyramid, the discrete wavelet transform, Gabor filters, and the curvelet transform. These techniques are examined in a seismic structure labeling case study on the Netherlands offshore F3 block. In seismic structure labeling, a seismic volume is automatically segmented and classified according to the underlying subsurface structure using texture attributes. Our results show that multiresolution attributes improved the labeling performance compared to using seismic amplitude alone. Moreover, directional multiresolution attributes, such as the curvelet transform, are more effective than the non-directional attributes in distinguishing different subsurface structures in large seismic datasets, and can greatly help the interpretation process.

description: Oxidative decomposition of solid lithium peroxide is an important part of the charging process in a Li-O2 battery. In this paper, we investigate oxidative decomposition mechanisms of lithium peroxide clusters as molecular models for solid lithium peroxide using density functional methods to understand charging processes in advanced energy storage systems. Most calculations are done using a (Li2O2)4 cluster with similar results obtained from a larger (Li2O2)16 cluster. Reaction pathways of the clusters involving different sequences of oxidation, oxygen evolution, lithium cation removal, and spin excitation are investigated. The computations suggest that certain oxidative decomposition routes may not have dependence on the oxygen evolution or Li-ion removal kinetics due to the exothermicity of oxygen removal and Li+ removal (by solvent) upon oxidation. The computed charge potentials evaluated using a tetramer model indicates that it is possible to have low overcharge potential provided there exists a good electronic conductivity to facilitate the oxidative decomposition. Finally, oxidation potentials of a series of LixOy clusters are investigated to assess their dependence on stoichiometry and how the local site from which the electrons are being removed affects the charge potentials.

description: This paper describes an OH-airglow Suppressor (OHS) for the infrared Nasmyth focus of the Subaru telescope. OHS has the capability of eliminating 224 airglow-lines in the $J$- and $H$-bands, which are major sources of background radiation at near-infrared wavelengths up to 2 $μ$m. Specifically, it is a pre-optics system installed between the telescope and an infrared camera/spectrograph (CISCO). The suppressor reduces sky background emissions to 1/25 and its throughput is 40%. As a result, the S/N gain achieved with OHS is more than 1 mag compared to the typical spectroscopic approach. The limiting magnitude measured during a test observing run was found to be $H$ = 21.1 mag ($λ/Δλ$ = 210, S/N = 5) in the standard 4000 s exposure sequence.

description: The two flavour AdS/QCD, with chiral and gluon condensates, sets in the description of the pion family and its mass spectra. Using gravity-dilaton-gluon backgrounds, entropic Regge-like trajectories for the pion family are then derived. They relate the $π$ mesons underlying configurational entropy to both the pions excitation wave mode number and the pions experimental mass spectra, yielding a reliable prediction for the mass spectra of higher excitation pion modes, to be experimentally detected.

description: This review addresses several situations of language learning to make concrete the issue of fairness—and justice—that arises in designing assessments. First, I discuss the implications of dialect variation in American English, asking how assessment has taken dialect into consideration. Second, I address the question of how to assess the distributed knowledge of bilingual or dual-language learners. The evaluation of the language skills of children growing up in poverty asks whether the current focus on the quantity of caregiver input is misplaced. Third, I address a special case in which the young speakers of a minority language, Romani, are judged to be unfit for schooling because they fail tests in the state language. Finally, I examine the difficult issue of language assessments in countries with multiple official languages and few resources. In each of these areas, the involvement and expertise of linguists are essential for knowing how the grammar works and what might be important to assess.

description: Measurements of thermal conductivity versus temperature over a broad range of doping in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ and HgBa$_2$Ca$_{n-1}$Cu$_n$O$_{2n+2+δ}$ ($n$=1,2,3) suggest that small domains of localized holes develop for hole concentrations near $p$=1/8. The data imply a mechanism for localization that is intrinsic to the CuO$_2$-planes and is enhanced via pinning associated with oxygen-vacancy clusters.

description: Todd Bridgman reflects on the highs and lows of his academic career, which has resulted in him developing an approach that he calls ‘academic journalism'. This means producing research that challenges the status quo, that holds those in authority to account, and that seeks a broad audience beyond the ‘ivory tower'. Todd argues that transformations in academia and news media provide favourable conditions for the identity of the ‘academic journalist' to flourish. Namely, recurring demands for academic research to have ‘impact' and ‘relevance' to stakeholders outside the university; the traditional subscription model of academic journal publishing being challenged by ‘open access' models; and the growth of social media and disruption of mainstream media, which provides opportunities for academics to generate new audiences for their work.

Mandatory Accounting for Sustainability

description: The debate on mandatory sustainability accounting explores whether it should apply to listed companies, private entities, nonprofits, or governments. The U.S. already has a materiality-based disclosure regime, but defining financial materiality in sustainability is complex. Expanded reporting could impact markets and corporate behavior, with both intended and unintended effects. Auditing challenges persist, and governments may drive mandates for public interest. Integrated audits may become essential.

description: Zinc antimony stands out among thermoelectrics because of its very low lattice thermal conductivity, close to the amorphous limit. Understanding the physical reason behind such an unusual crystal property is of fundamental interest for the design of new thermoelectric materials. In this work we report the results of atomistic computer simulations on experimentally determined beta-Zn4Sb3 structures. We find a remarkably anharmonic behavior of Zn atoms that could be responsible for the low thermal conductivity of Zn4Sb3: their movement, better explained as diffusive, does not contribute to thermal conduction. Moreover, phonon transport is impeded by a lack of coupling between Zn and Sb atoms in crystalline positions.

Oh, the things you don’t know: awe promotes awareness of knowledge gaps and science interest

description: Awe is described as an a “epistemic emotion” because it is hypothesised to make gaps in one’s knowledge salient. However, no empirical evidence for this yet exists. Awe is also hypothesised to be an antecedent to interest in science because science is one way to fill those knowledge gaps. Results from four pre-registered studies (N = 1518) indicate that manipulating awe through online (Studies 1a, 1b, and 1c) and virtual reality (Study 2) videos, led to greater awareness of knowledge gaps. Awareness of knowledge gaps was consistently associated with greater science interest and to choosing tickets to a science museum over tickets to an art museum (Study 1b). These effects were not consistently observed on, nor moderated by, other measures related to cognition, religion, and spirituality. However, exploratory analyses showed that science interest was better predicted by positive emotions than by awe. Still, these results provide the first empirical evidence of awe as an “epistemic emotion” by demonstrating its effects on awareness of knowledge gaps. These findings are also extended to the effects of awe on science interest as one possible outcome of awareness of knowledge gaps.
Tunneling Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates with Feshbach Resonances

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We study tunneling dynamics of atomic pairs in Bose-Einstein condensates with Feshbach resonances. It is shown that the tunneling of the atomic pairs depends on not only the tunneling coupling between the atomic condensate and the molecular condensate, but also the inter-atomic nonlinear interactions and the initial number of atoms in these condensates. It is found that in addition to oscillating tunneling current between the atomic condensate and the molecular condensate, the nonlinear atomic-pair tunneling dynamics sustains a self-locked population imbalance: macroscopic quantum self-trapping effect. Influence of decoherence induced by non-condensate atoms on tunneling dynamics is investigated. It is shown that decoherence suppresses atomic-pair tunneling.

description: We have combined the Boltzmann transport equation with an {\it ab initio} approach to compute the thermoelectric coefficients of semiconductors. Electron-phonon, ionized impurity, and electron-plasmon scattering rates have been taken into account. The electronic band structure and average intervalley deformation potentials for the electron-phonon coupling are obtained from the density functional theory. The linearized Boltzmann equation has then been solved numerically beyond the relaxation time approximation. Our approach has been applied to crystalline silicon. We present results for the mobility, Seebeck coefficient, and electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity, as a function of the carrier concentration and temperature. The calculated coefficients are in good quantitative agreement with experimental results.

description: Programming is a valuable skill in the labor market, making the underrepresentation of women in computing an increasingly important issue. Online question and answer platforms serve a dual purpose in this field: they form a body of knowledge useful as a reference and learning tool, and they provide opportunities for individuals to demonstrate credible, verifiable expertise. Issues, such as male-oriented site design or overrepresentation of men among the site's elite may therefore compound the issue of women's underrepresentation in IT. In this paper we audit the differences in behavior and outcomes between men and women on Stack Overflow, the most popular of these Q&A sites. We observe significant differences in how men and women participate in the platform and how successful they are. For example, the average woman has roughly half of the reputation points, the primary measure of success on the site, of the average man. Using an Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, an econometric technique commonly applied to analyze differences in wages between groups, we find that most of the gap in success between men and women can be explained by differences in their activity on the site and differences in how these activities are rewarded. Specifically, 1) men give more answers than women and 2) are rewarded more for their answers on average, even when controlling for possible confounders such as tenure or buy-in to the site. Women ask more questions and gain more reward per question. We conclude with a hypothetical redesign of the site's scoring system based on these behavioral differences, cutting the reputation gap in half.

description: The spherically averaged structure function $\soq$ obtained from pulsed neutron powder diffraction contains both elastic and inelastic scattering via an integral over energy. The Fourier transformation of $\soq$ to real space, as is done in the pair density function (PDF) analysis, regularizes the data, i.e. it accentuates the diffuse scattering. We present a technique which enables the extraction of off-center phonon information from powder diffraction experiments by comparing the experimental PDF with theoretical calculations based on standard interatomic potentials and the crystal symmetry. This procedure (dynamics from powder diffraction(DPD)) has been successfully implemented for two systems, a simple metal, fcc Ni, and an ionic crystal, CaF$_{2}$. Although computationally intensive, this data analysis allows for a phonon based modeling of the PDF, and additionally provides off-center phonon information from powder neutron diffraction.
