description: We consider a modified version of Brans-Dicke theory (MBDT) in four dimensions obtained by applying the induced matter method of Wesson to a 5D generalized Brans-Dicke theory. In 5D the model consists of pure vacuum, with no self-interacting potential, except for a scalar field. Constraining the 5D geometry to be a generalization of the anisotropic Bianchi type I universe model first studied by Kasner, we derive the induced energy-momentum. We discuss the energy conditions and their bounds in the MBDT with such an induced imperfect fluid, with an eye toward a realistic model of the present-day universe, and consider the large-scale behavior of that spatially homogeneous and anisotropic model. We discuss how the energy conditions would be satisfied or violated in the context of MBDT, with the aim of providing a feasible description of the universe in the current era.

description: ABSTRACT. Relocation stress syndrome (RSS) has been common to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients who were for transfer to a regular room. They experience anxiety, depression and loneliness at some point. This study examined the effectiveness of Roy’s Adaptation Model Step-down Protocol (RAMSP) in alleviating RSS. The protocol was composed of evidenced-based interventions that prevent the known problem. ICU patients (n=62) were tested having one hospital as the study group, where RAMSP was introduced, and the other hospital with its generic protocol as a control group. Results have shown that significant difference was noted on the pre-test and post-test upon the introduction of the said protocol with a p value of 0.001 for anxiety, 0.002 for depression, and 0.002 for loneliness. The study found out that RAMSP has been successful in decreasing the levels of anxiety depression, and loneliness as compared to a generic transfer protocol. However, anxiety was considered to give more impact to relocation stress syndrome which calls for more an immediate effort to suppress it.

description: This work presents the first results of the Deep IFS View of Nuclei of Galaxies (DIVING$^\mathrm{3D}$) survey. We analysed the nuclear emission-line spectra of a sub-sample we call mini-DIVING$^\mathrm{3D}$, which includes all Southern galaxies with B < 11.2 and |b| > 15 degrees. We verified that $23\% \pm 4\%$ of the galaxies show nuclear emission-line properties characteristic of Low Ionization Nuclear Emission-Line Regions (LINERs). Diagnostic diagram analysis reveals an apparent dichotomy, not detected in previous studies, between objects classified as H II regions and as LINERs or Seyferts, with very few galaxies classified as transition objects. A possible explanation for this result is that at least part of the transition objects are composite systems, with a central LINER contaminated by the emission from circumnuclear H II regions. The higher spatial resolution of the DIVING$^\mathrm{3D}$ survey, in comparison with previous studies, allowed us to isolate the nuclear emission from circumnuclear contaminations, reducing the number of transition objects. We also propose an alternative scenario, in which the emission-line spectra of some transition objects are the result of shock heating by central outflows, together with photoionization by young stars. Clear evidence of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), in the optical and X-ray spectral bands, were detected in 69$\%$ of the LINERs in the mini-DIVING$^\mathrm{3D}$ sample. Considering the entire mini-DIVING$^\mathrm{3D}$ sample, evidence of AGNs were detected in 65$\%$ of the objects.

description: To evaluate hypomethylating agent (HMA) persistence in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and examine its association with healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A total of 2,400 adults diagnosed with MDS initiating HMAs were included from IBM MarketScan databases during 1/1/2011–3/31/2018. The index date was HMA initiation following MDS diagnosis. Patients were classified according to their persistence status by the end of a fixed ‘landmark period’ of 4 months post-index. Median persistence to HMAs was 5.6 months (95% CI: 5.2, 6.1); HMA non-persistence increased with time. Non-persistent patients had a significantly higher non-HMA-related HRU burden than persistent patients [adjusted incidence rate ratios, outpatient visits: 1.12 (95% CI: 1.10, 1.14); inpatient visits: 1.48 (95% CI: 1.30, 1.69); emergency department visits 1.30 (95% CI: 1.12, 1.50); all p-values < 0.001]. All-cause and HMA-related outpatient visits were lower among non-persistent patients, likely because of fewer HMA administration-related visits. The incidence rate of AML was numerically, although not significantly, higher in non-persistent patients, when starting follow-up at the end of the landmark period. When follow-up began at the index date, non-persistent patients had a significantly higher rate of AML [adjusted hazard ratio, 1.88 (95% CI: 1.53, 2.32); p-value < 0.001]. HMA non-persistence, which increased over time, was associated with significantly higher non-HMA-related HRU, and numerically higher AML progression in MDS patients initiating HMAs. Future studies should evaluate predictors of HMA non-persistence in this patient population.

description: ABSTRACT. Occupational well-being of intensive care unit nurses is an indispensable element in carrying out their roles and function in any healthcare institution. Thus, identifying their level of stress and job satisfaction is essential in addressing this phenomenon. The study aimed to determine the relationship between occupational stress and job satisfaction specific to intensive care unit staff nurses of Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Hospital (PMAH)- Riyadh. This study utilized the Expanded Nurses Stress Scale and Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. A descriptive, correlational design was used in this study. Intensive care nursing practice is stressful as it poses multiple demands from patients, recipients of care, patients’ families and professional groups working and dedicated to each patient. The support from nursing administrators on staff nurses’ roles and responsibilities provide job satisfaction. Study findings will serve as a baseline data that will guide nursing leaders on where to give focus and what strategies needed to improve the wellbeing of staff nurses and create an evidenced based staff retention plan. Addressing the well- being of staff nurses is not a one-time project it needs to be continuously monitored and evaluated periodically.

description: In this year's sponsored, but no holds barred lunch, participants contemplated examples of proactive approaches answering the question posed by the 2015 conference theme, "Where Do We Go From Here?".  After greetings from the lunch host, Rittenhouse, and the traditional brief "year in review" recap by Ramune Kubilius, three panelists shared insights and open the floor for lively discussion with session participants.

Researchers increasingly must meet various data management requirements and mandates, while educators are challenged by changing trends in providing curricular content. Where does that leave libraries? In the best case scenarios, they utilize approaches espoused in Yogi Berra's advice—they follow paths (opportunities) that present themselves, and become partners.

Cunera Buys described work she and Pamela Shaw (Biosciences & Bioinformatics Librarian, Northwestern University's Galter Health Sciences Library) did in the data management planning arena, as part of a university working group. She touched on differing disciplinary needs and how data management affects scholarly publishing and communication activities.

Are alternate open textbooks a solution for educators seeking health sciences curricular reading materials? Elizabeth Lorbeer discussed the current environment, experiments, and roles ("reinvented" expertise) librarians can share in order to help faculty and students.

Finally, before moving to longer lively discussion, moderator Jean Gudenas rounded out the panel by sharing examples of recent developments and experiments, how libraries strive to demonstrate value in the collections and document delivery arena.

description: Im Rahmen der Energiestrategie 2050 des Bundes soll die Solarenergie in der Schweiz ausgebaut werden. Solarstrom gilt als umweltfreundlich, da während des Betriebs der Anlagen kaum Schadstoffemissionen anfallen. Ökobilanzen sind ein Instrument, um den Ressourcenverbrauch und die Emissionen nicht nur im Betrieb, sondern entlang des ganzen Lebenswegs von Produkten zu quantifizieren und zu bewerten. Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist es Ökobilanzen über aktuelle Unterkonstruktionen und deren Grad an Integration in die Gebäudehülle zu erstellen. Der Lebenszyklus der Solarstromproduktion umfasst dabei sowohl die Herstellung der Anlagenkomponenten als auch den Transport, die Montage, den Betrieb und die Entsorgung der Anlagen.

Mit Planungssoftware der verschiedenen Hersteller oder deren Planungsabteilungen wurden Materiallisten der einzelnen Unterkonstruktionen erstellt. In einem ersten Schritt wurden die Umweltauswirkungen der Systeme direkt miteinander verglichen. Für den Vergleich von Strom ab den verschiedenen Anlagen wurden mit Hilfe von einem geografischen Informationssystem für Photovoltaik (PVGIS) die Ertragsberechnungen durchgeführt sowie aus der Zollhandelsstatistik die nötigen Daten zu Transport und Herkunft von Modulen und Laminaten abgerufen.

Die Treibhausgasemissionen der bilanzierten Anlagen liegen zwischen 63.7 und 106.0 g CO2-eq. pro kWh Strom. Je höher der Stromertrag auf Grund des Anlagentyps und der Sonneneinstrahlung an einem Standort ist, desto tiefer sind die Umweltauswirkungen des produzierten Stroms. Strom ab den bilanzierten Anlagen auf der multikristallinen Silicium-Technologie verursacht mit durchschnittlich 82.4 g CO2-eq./kWh ein Fünftel weniger Treibhausgasemissionen als der heutige schweizerische Verbrauchermix.

Die Höhe der Umweltauswirkungen der Unterkonstruktionen ist sehr unterschiedlich und hauptsächlich von der Menge an verwendetem Aluminium abhängig. Die tiefsten Werte beim direkten Vergleich der Unterkonstruktionen erreichen bei sämtlichen Indikatoren die Mehrheit der vollintegrierten Systeme auf dem Dach. Wird bei der Herstellung der Unterkonstruktionen beim Aluminium ein Recyclinganteil von 80 % verwendet, nimmt die absolute Umweltauswirkung um über zwei Drittel ab.

Um die Umweltauswirkungen von Solarenergie möglichst tief zu halten, sind der Standort und die Wahl des Anlagentyps entscheidend. Hersteller von Solaranlagekomponenten können ihre Produkte ökologisch optimieren, indem sie beim Aluminium Recyclingmaterial verwenden und die Menge nach Möglichkeit reduzieren.

Acizzia alternata was known from just seven sites: Bucca, Lower Bucca, Repton, Mylestom, Bellingen, Valla Beach and Macksville, and represented a linear coastal to subcoastal distribution about 70 km long and no more than 15 km inland near Coffs Harbour on the north coast of New South Wales (Kent & Taylor 2010). The new material collected from four additional sites extends the distribution north another 90 km to between Glenn Innes and Grafton and south 12 km to Eungai. This now gives A. alternata a distribution 145 km long and inland 85 km at the most northerly record. The Australian distribution of A. alternata and its host is presented in Figs 12–13.

description: Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma (PGIL), an uncommon subtype of lymphoma, accounts for 1%–4% of gastrointestinal cancers. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the current 10-year epidemiology and outcomes of PGIL. This retrospective study involved a hospital-based chart review to analyze the epidemiology, clinical features, predisposing factors, and clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with, and treated for, PGIL. Data covering 10 years was collected of Thai patients aged ≥ 15 years who had been diagnosed as PGIL with pathological confirmation and treated at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand. A total of 175 PGIL patients were enrolled. Their median age was 60 years (range, 20–98), with a male predominance. The stomach was the most common site of gastrointestinal (GI) organ involvement by lymphoma (38.9%), followed by the small intestine (23.4%) and multiple sites of GI involvement (23.4%). Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) had the highest proportion of PGIL, accounting for 61.1%. The median patient follow-up time was 13.9 months (range: 0–104.9 months). The median overall survival (OS) of PGIL patients was not reached during the 10 years, with a 5-year OS of 64.4%. The probability of having a better OS was demonstrated in patients with a good performance status who received a rituximab-containing regimen. The stomach was the most common site of lymphoma involvement in the GI tract, with DLBCL accounting for the highest proportion of those patients. The long-term survival outcome was significantly improved in patients with good performance status and rituximab exposure. Trial registrationNot applicable.

description: The objective of this analysis was to assess the effectiveness and safety of romiplostim in the real-world by duration of primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP): <3 (‘newly diagnosed’), 3–12 (‘persistent’), and >12 (‘chronic’) months. This was a post-hoc analysis of the PLATON single-arm, observational cohort study of adults from five Central and Eastern European countries receiving ≥1 romiplostim dose as second-line therapy, or where surgery was contraindicated. Durable (≥75% of measurements with ≥50 × 109 platelets/L during weeks 14–24) and overall platelet response (≥30 or ≥50 × 109 platelets/L at least once), rescue therapy, bleeding, discontinuation of other ITP medications, and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were assessed. Of 100 participants, 22.0% had newly diagnosed, 17.0% had persistent, and 61.0% had chronic ITP. Prior splenectomy was most frequently reported in chronic ITP (32.8%), prior bleeding was predominant in newly diagnosed patients (68.2%). Durable platelet response was achieved in 50.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 28.2–71.8%) of newly diagnosed, 35.3% (95% CI: 14.2–61.7%) of persistent, and 31.1% (95% CI: 19.9–44.3%) of chronic ITP patients. Overall platelet response was achieved in >80% across all strata. Safety was comparable across groups, with a low incidence of thrombotic ADRs and no bone marrow ADRs. In this real-world study, platelet response to romiplostim was consistent across all strata of ITP duration. ADRs were infrequent and similar across ITP settings. These findings support the utilization of romiplostim in patients with newly diagnosed and persistent ITP in accordance with recent guidelines and the recent romiplostim label extension.

description: The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) has been extended into the nonlinear regime, where the Hall voltage shows higher-order response to the applied current. Nevertheless, the microscopic mechanism of the nonlinear AHE remains unclear. Here we report the orbital polarization and its induced third-order AHE in few-layer WTe2 flakes. Through angle-dependent electric measurements, it is found that the third-order AHE is quite consistent with the electric field induced polarization of orbital magnetic moment caused by the Berry connection polarizability tensor, which is further directly detected by polar reflective magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy. The microscopic mechanisms of third-order AHE are analyzed through the scaling law, that is, the opposite orbital magnetic moments (up or down) deflect to opposite directions driven by electric field induced Berry curvature, forming the intrinsic contribution; driven by the Magnus effect of the self-rotating Bloch electrons, the opposite orbital magnetic moments are scattered towards opposite transverse directions, resulting in the skew scattering.

New material examined since Kent & Taylor 2010: AUSTRALIA, New South Wales: AUSTRALIA Queensland: 13, 1Ƥ (dried) Mt Glorious State Forest, [27º20.0'S, 120º46.0'E], 3– 10.xii.[19]87, Y. Basset, subtropical rainforest Argyrodendron actinophyllum Edin.

There is insufficient material from these two localities to assess morphological variation and to determine whether or not they can be placed within the described species, but clearly congeneric, they extend the known distribution of the solanaceous-inhabiting psyllids to southern Queensland (a distance of 300 km north of previous records), and to far-north Queensland (a distance of 1,500 km north of previous records). Host data for the former is considered unlikely given that it is not Solanaceae, and that the method of collection was not stated. These records have been excluded from the distribution records as presented in Fig. 12.

description: For radio-based time-of-arrival (TOA) positioning systems applied in harsh environments, obstacles in the surroundings and on the vehicle itself will block the signals from the anchors, reduce the number of available TOA measurements and thus degrade the localization performance. Conventional multi-antenna positioning technique requires a good initialization to avoid local minima, and suffers from location ambiguity due to insufficient number of TOA measurements and/or poor geometry of anchors at a single epoch. A new initialization method based on semidefinite programming (SDP), namely MEMA-SDP, is first designed to address the initialization problem of the MEMA-TOA method. Then, an iterative refinement step is developed to obtain the optimal positioning result based on the MEMA-SDP initialization. We derive the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) to analyze the accuracy of the new MEMA-TOA method theoretically, and show its superior positioning performance over the conventional single-epoch and multi-antenna (SEMA) localization method. Simulation results in harsh environments demonstrate that i) the new MEMA-SDP provides an initial estimation that is close to the real location, and empirically guarantees the global optimality of the final refined positioning solution, and ii) compared with the conventional SEMA method, the new MEMA-TOA method has higher positioning accuracy without location ambiguity, consistent with the theoretical analysis.

description: The development of projects coupling an agricultural anaerobic digestion installation with the production of spirulina is an attractive concept, since the waste streams from the methanisation and from biogas valorization can be used to produce a high value product. This principle allows a better energetic valorization of surplus heat and of exhaust gases coming from the cogeneration unit. The limits of this configuration have been evaluated for Switzerland to study if the implementation of such coupling increases the competitiveness of agricultural anaerobic digestion. The thermal autonomy of the plant has been established as the main criterion to design the spirulina production units. For different working conditions (light radiation, nutrients source, size of methanisation units), the potential production of spirulina has been evaluated. The process energy yield, the environmental impact and the process economy show that 50% of surplus heat can be valorized, being 85-90% of heat contained in the exhaust gases; that the decrease in carbon dioxide emissions is not relevant and that, for the conditions tested, the operating costs are currently too high to allow the economic feasibility of the project.

description: A polynomial with coefficients in the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{K}$ of a global field $K$ is called intersective if it has a root modulo every finite-indexed subgroup of $\mathcal{O}_{K}$. We prove two criteria for a polynomial $f(x)\in\mathcal{O}_{K}[x]$ to be intersective. One of these criteria is in terms of the Galois group of the splitting field of the polynomial, whereas the second criterion is verifiable entirely in terms of constants which depend upon $K$ and the polynomial $f$. The proofs use the theory of global field extensions and upper bound on the least prime ideal in the Chebotarev density theorem.

description: Aim: To investigate the role of neutrophil CD64 in diagnosing infection in patients with haematological malignancies. The clinical data of 76 patients with haematological malignancies and infection who were treated in our department between January 2014 and October 2019 were retrospectively analysed. To evaluate the diagnostic value of some biomarkers, infection indexes such as white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count (NEUT), neutrophil CD64 and procalcitonin (PCT) were compared across the patients with confirmed infection status and infection-control status. Sensitivity, specificity and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were also determined. The WBC and NEUT did not differ significantly, whereas the neutrophil CD64 and PCT levels were significantly elevated in patients with a confirmed infection status (p < 0.05), with sensitivity of 31.0%, 45.2%, 76.2% and 50%, respectively, and specificity of 90.5%, 69%, 71.4% and 64.3%, respectively. The AUC of WBC, NEUT, neutrophil CD64 and PCT was 0.528, 0.517, 0.844 and 0.599, respectively. Further highlighting their diagnostic value, the neutrophil CD64 and PCT levels in neutropenia patients were significantly upregulated in patients with infection status (p < 0.05) but the WBC and NEUT were unchanged, with sensitivity of 73.7%, 63.2%, 68% and 68.4%, respectively, and specificity of 68.4%, 52.6%, 57.9% and 63.2%, respectively. The AUC of neutrophil CD64, PCT, WBC and NEUT was 0.864, 0.593, 0.419 and 0.403, respectively. These results indicate that neutrophil CD64 is a promising biomarker with superior sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing infection in patients with haematological malignancies, especially neutropenia patients.

description: Indoor multi-robot communications face two key challenges: one is the severe signal strength degradation caused by blockages (e.g., walls) and the other is the dynamic environment caused by robot mobility. To address these issues, we consider the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) to overcome the signal blockage and assist the trajectory design among multiple robots. Meanwhile, the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is adopted to cope with the scarcity of spectrum and enhance the connectivity of robots. Considering the limited battery capacity of robots, we aim to maximize the energy efficiency by jointly optimizing the transmit power of the access point (AP), the phase shifts of the RIS, and the trajectory of robots. A novel federated deep reinforcement learning (F-DRL) approach is developed to solve this challenging problem with one dynamic long-term objective. Through each robot planning its path and downlink power, the AP only needs to determine the phase shifts of the RIS, which can significantly save the computation overhead due to the reduced training dimension. Simulation results reveal the following findings: I) the proposed F-DRL can reduce at least 86% convergence time compared to the centralized DRL; II) the designed algorithm can adapt to the increasing number of robots; III) compared to traditional OMA-based benchmarks, NOMA-enhanced schemes can achieve higher energy efficiency.

description: Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a familiar chronic myeloproliferative disease with an unfavorable prognosis. The effect of infection on the prognosis of patients with PMF is crucial. Immune system dysregulation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of PMF. To date, very little research has been conducted on the molecular mechanism of immune compromise in patients with PMF. To explore potential candidate genes, microarray datasets GSE61629 and 26049 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between PMF patients and normal individuals were evaluated, gene function was measured and a series of hub genes were identified. Several significant immune cells were selected via cell type enrichment analysis. The correlation between hub genes and significant immune cells was determined. A total of 282 DEGs were found, involving 217 upregulated genes and 65 downregulated genes. Several immune cells were found to be reduced in PMF, such as CD4+ T cells, CD4+ Tems, CD4+ memory T cells. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of DEGs reflected that most biological processes were associated with immune processes. Six hub genes, namely, HP, MPO, MMP9, EPB42, SLC4A1, and ALAS2, were identified, and correlation analysis revealed that these hub genes have a negative correlation with immune cell abundance. Taken together, the gene expression profile of whole blood cells in PMF patients indicated a battery of immune events, and the DEGs and hub genes might contribute to immune system dysregulation.

description: Die Blauflügelige Sandschrecke gehört zu den gefährdetsten Heuschreckenarten der Schweiz. Ihre Lebensräume sind infolge der veränderten Landnutzung stark eingeschränkt. Die Dachbegrünungen der Bauten der Europaallee in Zürich sind im Sinne des ökologischen Ausgleichs eigens für die Blauflügelige Sandschrecke als Zielart konzipiert worden.
Diese Arbeit untersucht die Population der Blauflügelige Sandschrecke auf den Dachflächen der Europaallee und vergleicht die Ergebnisse mit den bestehenden Erhebungen, um Erkenntnisse über die Populationsdynamik zu erlangen. Weiter wird untersucht, ob sich die Art entlang der Gleise auf weitere Flachdächer ausbreitet.
11 Dachflächen werden zur Erfassung des Vorkommens von Larven und Adulten besucht und bei besiedelten Dächern zur Schätzung der ungefähren Populationsgrössen kommt die Fang-Wiederfang-Methode zum Einsatz.
Die Blauflügelige Sandschrecke konnte wie bereits in den Vorjahren auf den Dächern der Baufelder A und C nachgewiesen werden, was das Konzept der begrünten Dachflächen für den ökologischen Ausgleich stützt. Die Population auf dem Baufeld C konnte als stabil eingestuft werden. Auf dem benachbarten Baufeld A wurden überraschend wenig adulte Tiere gefunden, wofür verschiedene Erklärungsansätze vorhanden sind.
Das Vorkommen der Pionierart konnte auf einem Dach (Letzibach C, Mitte Ost) entlang der Gleise bestätigt werden.

description: Over-the-air federated learning (AirFL) allows devices to train a learning model in parallel and synchronize their local models using over-the-air computation. The integrity of AirFL is vulnerable due to the obscurity of the local models aggregated over-the-air. This paper presents a novel framework to balance the accuracy and integrity of AirFL, where multi-antenna devices and base station (BS) are jointly optimized with a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). The key contributions include a new and non-trivial problem jointly considering the model accuracy and integrity of AirFL, and a new framework that transforms the problem into tractable subproblems. Under perfect channel state information (CSI), the new framework minimizes the aggregated model's distortion and retains the local models' recoverability by optimizing the transmit beamformers of the devices, the receive beamformers of the BS, and the RIS configuration in an alternating manner. Under imperfect CSI, the new framework delivers a robust design of the beamformers and RIS configuration to combat non-negligible channel estimation errors. As corroborated experimentally, the novel framework can achieve comparable accuracy to the ideal FL while preserving local model recoverability under perfect CSI, and improve the accuracy when the number of receive antennas is small or moderate under imperfect CSI.

Interaction of Gravitational Waves with Superconductors

description: Applying the Helmholtz Decomposition theorem to linearized General Relativity leads to a gauge-invariant formulation where the transverse-traceless part of the metric perturbation describes gravitational waves in matter. Gravitational waves incident on a superconductor can be described by a linear London-like constituent equation characterized by a "gravitational shear modulus" and a corresponding plasma frequency and penetration depth. Electric-like and magnetic-like gravitational tensor fields are defined in terms of the strain field of a gravitational wave. It is shown that in the DC limit, the magnetic-like tensor field is expelled from the superconductor in a gravitational Meissner-like effect. The Cooper pair density is described by the GinzburgLandau free energy density embedded in curved spacetime. The ionic lattice is modeled by quantum harmonic oscillators coupled to gravitational waves and characterized by quasi-energy eigenvalues for the phonon modes. The formulation predicts the possibility of a dynamical Casimir effect since the zero-point energy of the ionic lattice phonons is found to be modulated by the gravitational wave, in a quantum analog of a "Weber-bar effect." Applying periodic thermodynamics and the Debye model in the low-temperature limit leads to a free energy density for the ionic lattice. Lastly, we relate the gravitational strain of space to the strain of matter to show that the response to a gravitational wave is far less for the Cooper pair density than for the ionic lattice. This predicts a charge separation effect in the superconductor as a result of the gravitational wave.
