description: We have performed first-principle calculations of the electronic structure and exchange couplings for the nanotube compound Na$_{2}$V$_{3}$O$_{7}$ using the LDA+U approach. Our results show that while the intra-ring exchange interactions are mainly antiferromagnetic, the inter-ring couplings are {\it ferromagnetic}. We argue that this is a consequence of the strong hybridization between filled and vacant 3d vanadium orbitals due to the low symmetry of Na$_{2}$V$_{3}$O$_{7}$, which results into strong - and often dominant - ferromagnetic contributions to the total exchange interaction between vanadium atoms. A comparison with results of previous works is included.

description: Aims: Our aim is to identify the dominant molecular cooling lines and characteristic emission features in the 1.3 mm window of distinct regions in the northern part of the Orion A molecular cloud. By defining and analysing template regions, we also intend to help with the interpretation of observations from more distant sources which cannot be easily spatially resolved. Methods: We analyse an imaging line survey covering the area of OMC-1 to OMC-3 from 200.2 to 281.8 GHz obtained with the PI230 receiver at the APEX telescope. Masks are used to define regions with distinct properties (e.g. column density or temperature ranges) from which we obtain averaged spectra. Lines of 29 molecular species (55 isotopologues) are fitted for each region to obtain the respective total intensity. Results: We find that strong sources like Orion KL have a clear impact on the emission on larger scales. Although not spatially extended, their line emission contributes substantially to spectra averaged over large regions. Conversely, the emission signatures of dense, cold regions like OMC-2 and OMC-3 (e.g. enhanced N$_{2}$H$^{+}$ emission and low HCN/HNC ratio) seem to be difficult to pick up on larger scales, where they are eclipsed by signatures of stronger sources. In all regions, HCO$^{+}$ appears to contribute between 3% and 6% to the total intensity, the most stable value for all bright species. N$_{2}$H$^{+}$ shows the strongest correlation with column density, but not with typical high-density tracers like HCN, HCO$^{+}$, H$_{2}$CO, or HNC. Common line ratios associated with UV illumination, CN/HNC and CN/HCO$^{+}$, show ambiguous results on larger scales, suggesting that the identification of UV illuminated material may be more challenging. The HCN/HNC ratio may be related to temperature over varying scales.

description: Turbulent fluid flows exhibit a complex small-scale structure with frequently occurring extreme velocity gradients. Particles probing such swirling and straining regions respond with an intricate shape-dependent orientational dynamics, which sensitively depends on the particle history. Here, we systematically develop a reduced-order model for the small-scale dynamics of turbulence, which captures the velocity gradient statistics along particle paths. An analysis of the resulting stochastic dynamical system allows pinpointing the emergence of non-Gaussian statistics and non-trivial temporal correlations of vorticity and strain, as previously reported from experiments and simulations. Based on these insights, we use our model to predict the orientational statistics of anisotropic particles in turbulence, enabling a host of modeling applications for complex particulate flows.

description: Cleaning is not the solution to the soybean cleanliness issue. The costs of additional cleaning of all export soybeans to remove foreign material (FM) beyond the current level would, at minimum, exceed the domestic and international benefits by $20 million per year even if cleaning occurs at the least net-cost locations-river elevators and inland subterminals. Producers and handlers in the South would bear a disproportionate share of the net costs because of higher soybean FM level and larger export share of soybean production than the Corn Belt. Lowering soybean FM by altering production and harvesting practices offers an alternative to mechanical cleaning (a small percentage of producers can do so at little additional cash cost), but its cost-effectiveness needs to be evaluated more fully before adoption. Despite foreign buyers' preference for clean soybeans, foreign material is regarded as less critical than protein, oil, and moisture contents.

The tumour microenvironment : mapping the microregional effects of drugs
Creators: name: Huxham, Lynsey Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Rapid cell proliferation combined with a lack of adequate vascular supply can result in cells far from vasculature becoming oxygen and nutrient deprived. These hypoxic and quiescent cells can be resistant to radio- and chemotherapies and their location can result in sub-therapeutic exposures to drug. Insight into extra-vascular drug distribution and microenvironment changes in tumours could improve drug scheduling and delivery, as well as aid in the screening and rational design of new anti-cancer drugs. The main objective of this research is to examine the tumour microenvironment after drug administration to determine which drugs penetrate effectively and to observe changes in vasculature, proliferation, and hypoxia. This is achieved by staining and imaging various markers in tumour cryosection and examining their locations relative to each other. For example, the fraction of dividing cells as a function of distance from vasculature can be used to evaluate the extent of drug effect. As well, analysis of the microenvironmental differences between tumours, after treatment, can provide insight into which characteristics lead to effective tumour control. From examining the effects of pyrimidine analogues on proliferation in relation to vasculature we were able to show a differential effect on cells far from vasculature compared to cells proximal to vasculature. Additionally, we have shown the hypoxic cytotoxin tirapazamine unexpectedly caused central vascular dysfunction. This was characterized by a cessation of vascular perfusion in the central area of treated tumours, which became necrotic over time. By using similar tumour mapping techniques we were then able to show that increasing the vascular oxygen level, by carbogen breathing, does not completely eradicate the vascular targeting effect of tirapazamine. We further suggest the inhibition of NOS, by tirapazamine, may lead to vessel constriction and thus increased hypoxia subsequently causing greater activation of tirapazamine. During this research it became clear the response of proliferating tumour cells to drug is not necessarily uniform and additionally that drugs may exert unexpected mechanisms of action. The observations made by mapping the tumour microenvironment can be easily missed using traditional in vitro cell monolayer experiments or growth delay and clonogenic assays.

Alle drei monotheistischen Glaubensgemeinschaften sind in ihrer sich immer weiter entwickelnden Vielfalt Zeichen der Suche nach Wahrheit, Frieden und Heil. Insofern sind die Anhänger_innen der verschiedenen religiösen Traditionen miteinander »verwandte«Weggefährten. Die Stiftung Stuttgarter Lehrhaus für interreligiösen Dialog als Herausgeberin dieser Rubrik nimmtdie Geschichte, die spirituellen Traditionen sowiedie Gemeinsamkeiten der verschiedenen Bekenntnisse als Möglichkeit wahr, um auf das Selbstverständnis von Juden, Christen und Muslimen einzuwirken. Die Stiftung und die hier zu Wort kommenden Autor_innen möchten mit ihren Beiträgen immer wieder den Geist des friedlichen Miteinanderszur Geltung bringen. So ist die Rubrik zugleich ein Beispiel für eine gelebte interreligiöse Dialogpraxisund Symbol dafür, dass der jüdisch-christliche Dialogheute auf dem Weg ist, eine Brücke zum jüdisch-christlich-muslimischen Trialog zu schlagen. Beginnend mit dieser Ausgabe nehmen die Beiträge der Stuttgarter Lehrhaus-Rubrik zukünftig injeder ZfBeg-Nummer grundsätzliche Fragen des in-terreligiösen Dialogs auf. Des weiteren werden sie sich mit Publikationen und erfolgreichen Best-Practice-Beispielen interreligiöser Projektarbeit imdeutschsprachigen Raum befassen.

description: Magnetars are highly magnetized neutron stars whose magnetic dipole ranges from $10^{14}$ to $10^{15}$ G. The MRI is considered to be a promising mechanism to amplify the magnetic field in fast-rotating protoneutron stars and form magnetars. This scenario is supported by many local studies showing that magnetic fields could be amplified by the MRI on small scales. However, the efficiency of the MRI at generating a dipole field is still unknown. To answer this question, we study the MRI dynamo in an idealized global model of a fast rotating protoneutron star with differential rotation. We perform 3D incompressible MHD simulations in spherical geometry with explicit diffusivities where the differential rotation is forced at the outer boundary. We vary the initial magnetic field and investigated different magnetic boundary conditions. These simulations were compared to local shearing box simulations. We obtain a self-sustained turbulent MRI-driven dynamo, whose saturated state is independent of the initial magnetic field. The MRI generates a strong turbulent magnetic field of $B \geq 2\times 10^{15}$ G and a non-dominant magnetic dipole, which represents systematically about $5\%$ of the averaged magnetic field strength. Interestingly, this dipole is tilted towards the equatorial plane. We find that local shearing box models can reproduce fairly well several characteristics of global MRI turbulence such as the kinetic and magnetic spectra. The turbulence is nonetheless more vigorous in the local models than in the global ones. Overall, our results support the ability of the MRI to form magnetar-like large-scale magnetic fields. They furthermore predict the presence of a stronger small-scale magnetic field. The resulting magnetic field could be important to power outstanding stellar explosions, such as superluminous supernovae and GRBs.

description: In fiscal 1995, more than 60 percent of U.S. farm exports, worth a record $33 billion, went to Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum members. Bulk exports showed the most dramatic growth, benefiting greatly from China's conversion from a net grain exporter into a major net importer. Chinese imports are projected to increase further over the long term. Continued trade liberalization throughout APEC, rapid economic growth in its developing economies, and limited arable land in China and East Asia will ensure continued growth in U.S. farm exports to APEC markets-especially meat for East Asia and grains for China and Southeast Asia.

Erwählung und Vertrauen. Eine protestantische Perspektive auf Röm 9

Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für christlich-jüdische Begegnung im Kontext
Year: 2021

description: Einleitung Erwählung ist ein biblischer Begriff, der in der christlichen Dogmatik immer wieder heftig umstritten war. Vor allem in der Rezeption der biblischen Literatur durch das Christentum wurde dieVorrangstellung des Volkes Israel/ des Judentumsin Frage gestellt und die Kirche anstelle der Synagoge als Erwählte behauptet. Erwählung hat jedoch grundsätzlich das Handeln Gottes im Fokus, der bestimmte Menschen zu bestimmten Aufgaben oder das ganze Volk Israel am Sinai erwählt hat. Gott ist hierbei Subjekt der erwählenden Handlung, die dann wiederum eine spezifische Beziehung zwischen Erwähltem und Erwählenden charakterisiert. Erwählung hat vor allem als biblischen Bezugspunkt eine Stelleaus dem Deuteronomium im Blick: »Denn du bistein heiliges Volk dem HERRN, deinem Gott. Dichhat der HERR, dein Gott, erwählt zum Volk des Eigentums aus allen Völkern, die auf Erden sind.Nicht hat euch der HERR angenommen und euch erwählt, weil ihr größer wäret als alle Völker – denn du bist das kleinste unter allen Völkern –, sondern weil er euch geliebt hat und damit er seinen Eid hielte, den er euren Vätern geschworen hat.«(Dtn 7,6-8).

An optical Kerr nonlinearity is considered. Due to the large E-fields associated with the excitation of the transmission resonances appearing in this type of structures, moderate incoming fluxes result in drastic changes in the transmission spectra. Importantly, optical bistability is obtained for certain ranges of both flux and wavelength.

description: Overall, the costs of delivering cleaner soybeans on a universal basis exceed domestic benefits. The cost of cleaning export soybeans beyond current levels at the least net-cost locations (both river elevators and inland subterminals), at minimum, exceeds domestic benefits by $26 million per year. However, a small percentage of producers could lower soybean foreign material (FM) with no or little additional cost by changing harvesting and handling practices. Most FM originates from the farm. Although soybean cleaning is not common, producers can alter production and harvesting practices to reduce FM, which mainly consists of plant parts, broken beans, weed seed, and dirt. One strategy to address the soybean cleanliness issue is to create incentives for producers to alter production and harvesting practices, such as better weed control and combine adjustment.

description: In recent years there has been an increase in the number of scientific papers that suggest using conformal predictions in drug discovery. We consider that some versions of conformal predictions applied in binary settings are embroiled in pitfalls, not obvious at first sight, and that it is important to inform the scientific community about them. In the paper we first introduce the general theory of conformal predictions and follow with an explanation of the versions currently dominant in drug discovery research today. Finally, we provide cases for their critical assessment in binary classification settings.

description: We show that a categorical generalization of the the Poincaré symmetry which is based on the n-crossed modules becomes natural and simple when n=3 and that the corresponding 3-form and 4-form gauge fields have to be a Dirac spinor and a Lorentz scalar, respectively. Hence by using a Poincaré 4-group we naturally incorporate fermionic and scalar matter into the corresponding 4-connection. The internal symmetries can be included into the 4-group structure by using a 3-crossed module based on the $SL(2,\mathbb{C}) \times K$ group, so that for $K=U(1)\times SU(2) \times SU(3)$ we can include the Standard Model into this categorification scheme.

description: Conventional incoherent imaging based on measuring the spatial intensity distribution in the image plane faces the resolution hurdle described by the Rayleigh diffraction criterion. Here, we demonstrate theoretically using the concept of the Fisher information that quadrature statistics measured by means of array homodyne detection enables estimation of the distance between two incoherent point sources well below the Rayleigh limit for sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio. This capability is attributed to the availability of spatial coherence information between individual detector pixels acquired using the coherent detection technique. A simple analytical approximation for the precision attainable in the sub-Rayleigh region is presented. Furthermore, an estimation algorithm is proposed and applied to Monte Carlo simulated data.

A relatively simple numerical algorithm based on an exact integral formulation of the elastic contact of an axisymmetric indenter to a coated substrate is detailed. It provides contact force and penetration as a function of the contact radius. Computations were carried out for substrate to layer moduli ratios ranging from 0.01 to 100 and various indenter shapes. Computed equivalent moduli showed good agreement with the Gao model for mismatch ratios ranging from 0.5 to 2. Beyond this range, substantial effects of inhomogeneous strain istribution are evidenced. An empirical function is proposed to fit the equivalent modulus. More importantly, if the indenter is not flat-ended, the simple relation between contact radius and penetration valid for homogeneous substrates breaks down. If neglected, this phenomenon leads to significant errors in the evaluation of the contact radius in depth-sensing indentation on coated substrates with large elastic modulus mismatch.

description: Recently, much attention have been paid to the constructions of nonlocal multipartite orthogonal product states. Among the existing results, some are relatively complex in structure while others have many constraint conditions. In this paper, we firstly give a simple method to construct a nonlocal set of orthogonal product states in $\otimes_{j=1}^{n}\mathbb{C}^{d}$ for $d\geq 2$. Then we give an ingenious proof for local indistinguishability of the set constructed by our method. According to the characteristics of this construction method, we get a new construction of nonlocal set with fewer states in the same quantum system. Furthermore, we generalize these two results to a more general $\otimes_{i=1}^{n}\mathbb{C}^{d_{j}}$ quantum system for $d_{j}\geq 2$. Compared with the existing results, the nonlocal set of multipartite orthogonal product states constructed by our method has fewer elements and is more simpler.

description: This article contains a theoretical overview of the physical properties of antiferromagnetic Mott insulators in spatial dimensions greater than one. Many such materials have been experimentally studied in the past decade and a half, and we make contact with these studies. The simplest class of Mott insulators have an even number of S=1/2 spins per unit cell, and these can be described with quantitative accuracy by the bond operator method: we discuss their spin gap and magnetically ordered states, and the transitions between them driven by pressure or an applied magnetic field. The case of an odd number of S=1/2 spins per unit cell is more subtle: here the spin gap state can spontaneously develop bond order (so the ground state again has an even number of S=1/2 spins per unit cell), and/or acquire topological order and fractionalized excitations. We describe the conditions under which such spin gap states can form, and survey recent theories (T. Senthil et al., cond-mat/0312617) of the quantum phase transitions among these states and magnetically ordered states. We describe the breakdown of the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm at these quantum critical points, accompanied by the appearance of emergent gauge excitations.

Cross-layer resource scheduling for wireless systems over correlated fading channels

description: Packet scheduling is very important in future wireless networks due to their limited resources and increasing demand for high data rates. Time-varying incoming traffic and channel gains make the scheduling decision very challenging. Due to the inherent dynamic nature of packet scheduling, we formulate the scheduling problem as a Markov decision process. We consider a single user communicating over a correlated fading channel. The incoming traffic is randomly varying and stored in the finite buffer before transmission. We formulate the scheduling problem from a cross-layer viewpoint, by considering both the physical and the data link layer optimization objectives. Our objective is to maximize throughput, and minimize power, buffering delay, packet overflow and bit error rate. First, we present optimal and suboptimal packet scheduling over Rayleigh fading channels. We analyze the problem using both the information-theoretic and the multilevel modulation transmission models. Two different ways of computing optimal policies are given and their benefits and drawbacks are discussed. The performance of the suboptimal scheduler is compared with that of the optimal scheduler. On the top of employing a diversity technique at the receiver, we also show that by adapting packet transmission across different layers the scheduler can save a significant amount of power. The rate adaptation problem is then extended for schemes with a multiple-input multiple-output channel and a selective-repeat automatic repeat request protocol. Second, we develop several adaptation techniques for type-I hybrid automatic repeat request schemes. We investigate the rate and power adaptation problem for two cases: when both the perfect channel state information and observation feedback are known, and when only latter is known. We analyze the adaptation problem for both flat-fading and frequency-selective channels. The policy heuristic-based solution for coding rate adaptation is later given for these schemes in the case of no perfect channel state information, and then extended for joint coding rate and modulation order adaptation. Finally, cross-layer scheduling for the incremental redundancy hybrid automatic repeat request system is given using rate compatible punctured code. We propose three different adaptation models and compare their performances.

description: The detection and management of diseases become quite complicated when pathogens contain asymptomatic phenotypes amongst their ranks, as evident during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Spreading of diseases has been studied extensively under the paradigm of Susceptible - Infected - Recovered - Deceased (SIRD) dynamics. Various game-theoretic approaches have also addressed disease spread, many of which consider S, I, R, and D as strategies rather than as states. Remarkably, most studies from the above approaches do not account for the distinction between the symptomatic or asymptomatic aspect of the disease. It is well-known that precautionary measures like washing hands, wearing masks and social distancing significantly mitigate the spread of many contagious diseases. Herein, we consider the adoption of such precautions as strategies and treat S, I, R, and D as states. We also attempt to capture the differences in epidemic spreading arising from symptomatic and asymptomatic diseases on various network topologies. Through extensive computer simulations, we examine that the cost of maintaining precautionary measures as well as the extent of mass testing in a population affects the final fraction of socially responsible individuals. We observe that the lack of mass testing could potentially lead to a pandemic in case of asymptomatic diseases. Network topology also seems to play an important role. We further observe that the final fraction of proactive individuals depends on the initial fraction of both infected as well as proactive individuals. Additionally, edge density can significantly influence the overall outcome. Our findings are in broad agreement with the lessons learnt from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Kurz erklärt ...Chanukkah– Fest des Lichtes, Fest des Wunders, Fest der Freude

description: Chanukkah ist ein populäres jüdisches Fest. Es beginnt am Vorabend des 25. Kislew (Ende November/ Dezember [Mondsonnenkalender]) und dauert acht Tage. Chanukkah (wie alle hier genannten hebräischen Wörter endbetont) bedeutet Einweihung (hier genauer Wiedereinweihung). Das Fest beruht auf einer Erzählung vorzüglich im ersten Buchder Makkabäer (Kapitel 4, 36-52). Die vier Bücher der Makkabäer sind Teil der katholischen undder orthodoxen Bibel, hingegen nicht der protes-tantischen und (erstaunlicherweise) nicht der jüdischen Bibel. Grund dafür mag sein: Bei den Makkabäern sind die Ämter Hohepriester und Königin der gleichen Person vereinigt, während die Bibel die beiden Funktionen klar verschiedenen Trägern zuweist.

A corpus-assisted discourse analysis of NHS responses to online patient feedback
Creators: name: Evans, Craig
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis reports on aspects of language use and discourse in staff replies to patient feedback posted on the health service review part of the website NHS Choices. The overall aim of the thesis is to contribute to understanding about how NHS staff use language when communicating with patients in a feedback context, and the reasons for the particular linguistic choices they make. The study uses a corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS) approach to examine linguistic patterns in datasets based on three staff reply text types derived from an 11.5-million-word corpus of NHS replies. The three datasets are ‘stock replies’ (texts completely or mostly reused in full), ‘unique replies’ (texts that are likely to have been individually written for one-time use) and ‘mixed replies’ (texts that consist of a mix of reused and non-reused elements). This study finds that, while there are linguistic differences between reply types – for example, a greater tendency for those based on text reuse to be more formulaic, and unique replies to entail more variation – these do not predict the interpersonal aspects of replies. Staff replies can be more or less impersonal/personalised irrespective of reply type. In its examination of unique replies, the study highlights a number of patterns contrary to expectations that individualised replies are more personalised, including evidence of indirect criticism and use of discrediting strategies against patients. The latter is a feature of marketised discourse, evidence of which is found across all three reply types. In addition to findings about the language use and discourse of NHS staff, this thesis also presents an original method for using CADS to analyse a corpus containing a high amount of text reuse.
