description: We consider Dirac equation in $(2+1)$ dimensional curved spacetime in the presence of a scalar potential. It is then shown that the zero energy states are degenerate and they can be obtained when the momentum $k_y$ in the $y$ direction satisfies certain constraints involving the mass parameter and the scalar potential coupling.

description: Our study aimed to understand the role of situational factors in instigating people to perform violence against frontline healthcare workers during the coronavirus disease outbreak in India. We performed a thematic analysis of secondary data, collected from online web pages of leading national and regional newspapers. The study proposed a framework linking situational factors and violence through the mechanism of emotional dynamics that led to aggression (stress, tension, and anger). Existing literature suggests that environmental and cognitive factors influence human learning and behaviour, and there is a chronological sequence of several activities to reach the point of committing violence. The current study identified three thematic areas: information deficit, mistrust in government actions, and socio-economic insecurities based on situational factors. False beliefs, rumours, lack of relief material, doubt in government actions, communication gap, and fear for life, land and livelihood were identified as situational factors. The study contributes to building a stronger theoretical foundation for the existing literature and filling the gap in effective intervention strategies for preventing such violent acts in the near future.

Spatially resolved variations of the IMF mass normalisation in early-type galaxies as probed by molecular gas kinematics

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We here present the first spatially-resolved study of the IMF in external galaxies derived using a dynamical tracer of the mass-to-light ratio. We use the kinematics of relaxed molecular gas discs in seven early-type galaxies (ETGs) selected from the ATLAS3D survey to dynamically determine mass-to-light ratio (M/L) gradients. These M/L gradients are not very strong in the inner parts of these objects, and galaxies that do show variations are those with the highest specific star formation rates. Stellar population parameters derived from star formation histories are then used in order to estimate the stellar initial mass function function (IMF) mismatch parameter, and shed light on its variation within ETGs. Some of our target objects require a light IMF, otherwise their stellar population masses would be greater than their dynamical masses. In contrast, other systems seem to require heavier IMFs to explain their gas kinematics. Our analysis again confirms that IMF variation seems to be occurring within massive ETGs. We find good agreement between our IMF normalisations derived using molecular gas kinematics and those derived using other techniques. Despite this, we do not see find any correlation between the IMF normalisation and galaxy dynamical properties or stellar population parameters, either locally or globally. In the future larger studies which use molecules as tracers of galaxy dynamics can be used to help us disentangle the root cause of IMF variation.

description: We present the first results of the High cadence Transient Survey (HiTS), a survey whose objective is to detect and follow up optical transients with characteristic timescales from hours to days, especially the earliest hours of supernova (SN) explosions. HiTS uses the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) and a custom made pipeline for image subtraction, candidate filtering and candidate visualization, which runs in real-time to be able to react rapidly to the new transients. We discuss the survey design, the technical challenges associated with the real-time analysis of these large volumes of data and our first results. In our 2013, 2014 and 2015 campaigns we have detected more than 120 young SN candidates, but we did not find a clear signature from the short-lived SN shock breakouts (SBOs) originating after the core collapse of red supergiant stars, which was the initial science aim of this survey. Using the empirical distribution of limiting-magnitudes from our observational campaigns we measured the expected recovery fraction of randomly injected SN light curves which included SBO optical peaks produced with models from Tominaga et al. (2011) and Nakar & Sari (2010). From this analysis we cannot rule out the models from Tominaga et al. (2011) under any reasonable distributions of progenitor masses, but we can marginally rule out the brighter and longer-lived SBO models from Nakar & Sari (2010) under our best-guess distribution of progenitor masses. Finally, we highlight the implications of this work for future massive datasets produced by astronomical observatories such as LSST.

"Role of Community-Based Interventions in Heart Attack Prevention"
Creators: name: Siby K Abraham
Publisher: name: SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL
Year: 2023

description: Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), particularly heart attacks (myocardial infarctions), remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide, accounting for nearly 17.9 million deaths annually. A community-based approach to heart attack prevention focuses on risk factor modification, public health education, lifestyle interventions, and emergency preparedness. These interventions, implemented through community health nurses, local health organizations, digital health platforms, and public policy, aim to improve heart health at the population level. This review discusses various evidence-based community health strategies in reducing heart attack prevalence, such as smoking cessation programs, dietary modifications, physical activity promotion, screening programs, and cardiac emergency preparedness initiatives. Future directions, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), telehealth, and personalized community-driven healthcare models, are also explored.
From Basileus to Sebastos: The Development of the Imperial Cult of Roman Cyprus From Ptolemaic Royal Worship

Publisher: name: University of Chicago

Subjects: subject: Cyprus
subject: Roman Imperial Cult

subject: Ptolemaic Royal Worship

description: Historical research on the imperial cult of the Roman Empire has traditionally focused on areas marked by prominent political and economic interactions with the ruling center in Rome. The periphery of the empire is often flattened into a passive absorber of the imperial cult from the ruling center, without enough attention paid to its unique social and religious context. Thus, the distinctive nature of the imperial cult in places such as Cyprus has often escaped the attention of historians and archaeologists. This thesis examines the development of the imperial cult based on Ptolemaic royal worship that once prevailed on the island. A diachronic analysis of the cultic transition from the Ptolemaic to the Roman period is conducted using Greek inscriptions on statues and public buildings from major cities such as Salamis, Paphos, Kition, and Amathous. Priesthood titles, royal and imperial epithets, and associations of the rulers with traditional deities reflected by epigraphic evidence provide valuable information on how the organization and practices of ruler worship shifted over time. The result offers new insights into the localization of cultic practices introduced by political hegemony to peripheral areas, and the influence of ruler cults on the original social and political relationships of the local communities.

description: ln this thesis a comprehensive analysis is presented on nano-scale thin films of platinum deposited with Angstrom resolution by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technology utilizing the Cambridge Nanotech Savannah 100 ALD system. Physical characterizations of film thickness, film morphology, and surface roughness of the deposited platinum were all performed before and after rapid thermal annealing (RTA) and as a function of forming gas annealing (FGA). Noble metal thin films of platinum were deposited on four inch wafers of p-type boron doped &100& oriented silicon (Si) substrates. The ALD film thickness was measured with a novel method utilizing the linear dependence of ALD Pt film deposition cycles on electrical sheet conductance. The experimental sheet conductance graph was calibrated by absolute Pt film thickness measurements using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The ALD Pt film surface morphology was characterized using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Sheet resistance of the ALD platinum films was determined by using electrical four-point- probe measurements. The newly developed ALD Pt process was successfully extended to such challenging applications as providing a third electrode to active zeta potential controlled Electroosmotic pumps in nano-porous membranes. Finally, thin nano-scaled transparent electrical contacts required for photovoltaic cells in porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates were successfully implemented by a newly developed ALD ZnO process.
Lagrangian 3-form structure for the Darboux system and the KP hierarchy

description: A Lagrangian multiform structure is established for a generalisation of the Darboux system describing orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems. It has been shown in the past that this system of coupled PDEs is in fact an encoding of the entire Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy in terms so-called Miwa variables. Thus, in providing a Lagrangian description of this multidimensionally consistent system amounts to a new Lagrangian 3-form structure for the continuous KP system. A generalisation to the matrix (also known as non-Abelian) KP system is discussed.

description: We prove that the first two coefficients in the series expansion around $s=1$ of the $p$-adic $L$-function of an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ are related by a formula involving the conductor of the curve. This is analogous to a recent result of Wuthrich for the classical $L$-function, which makes use of the functional equation. We present a few other consequences for the $p$-adic $L$-function and a generalisation to the base-change to an abelian number field.

Biometric Identification Systems With Both Chosen and Generated Secret Keys by Allowing Correlation

description: We propose a biometric identification system where the chosen- and generated-secret keys are used simultaneously, and investigate its fundamental limits from information-theoretic perspectives. The system consists of two phases: enrollment and identification phases. In the enrollment phase, for each user, the encoder uses a secret key, which is chosen independently, and the biometric identifier to generate another secret key and a helper {data}. In the identification phase, observing the biometric sequence of the identified user, the decoder estimates index, chosen- and generated-secret keys of the identified user based on the helper {data} stored in the system database. In this study, the capacity region of such a system is characterized. In the problem setting, we allow chosen- and generated-secret keys to be correlated. As a result, by permitting the correlation of the two secret keys, the sum rate of the identification, chosen- and {generated-secret key} rates can achieve a larger value compared to the case where the keys {do not correlate}. Moreover, the minimum amount of the storage rate changes in accordance with both the identification and chosen-secret key rates, but that of the privacy-leakage rate depends only on the identification rate.

X-ReCoSa: Multi-Scale Context Aggregation For Multi-Turn Dialogue Generation
Creators: name: Wu, Danqin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In multi-turn dialogue generation, responses are not only related to the topic and background of the context but also related to words and phrases in the sentences of the context. However, currently widely used hierarchical dialog models solely rely on context representations from the utterance-level encoder, ignoring the sentence representations output by the word-level encoder. This inevitably results in a loss of information while decoding and generating. In this paper, we propose a new dialog model X-ReCoSa to tackle this problem which aggregates multi-scale context information for hierarchical dialog models. Specifically, we divide the generation decoder into upper and lower parts, namely the intention part and the generation part. Firstly, the intention part takes context representations as input to generate the intention of the response. Then the generation part generates words depending on sentence representations. Therefore, the hierarchical information has been fused into response generation. we conduct experiments on the English dataset DailyDialog. Experimental results exhibit that our method outperforms baseline models on both automatic metric-based and human-based evaluations.

We obtain a determinant representation for scalar products of Bethe vectors, when the Bethe parameters obey some relations weaker than the Bethe equations. This representation allows us to find the norms of on-shell Bethe vectors and obtain determinant formulas for form factors of the diagonal entries of the monodromy matrix.

description: Bisphosphonates, drugs which inhibit bone resorption and remodeling, are currently prescribed for the treatment of osteoporosis. Previous research suggests that decreased bone turnover may lead to accumulation of microdamage, possibly increasing the risk for fracture in some sites. The effects of bisphosphonate therapy on the mandibular condyle have not been quantitatively studied. The purpose of the proposed study was to histomorphometrically quantify the effects of etidronate (a bisphosphonate) on trabecular bone sites of the dog mandibular condyle and to compare this to another trabecular bone site (vertebrae) to determine whether the two sites were affected differently. Eleven mature female dogs were treated with high- (5 mg/kg/d) and low- (0.5 mg/kg/d) dose etidronate therapy for seven months. Fluorochrome labels were used to mark sites of bone mineralization for the calculation of static and dynamic histomorphometric parameters. High-dose therapy resulted in a complete inhibition of remodeling, as shown by the reduction of mineral apposition rate (MAR), bone formation rate (BFR), and mineralizing surface (MS/BS) to zero. Low-dose therapy also decreased BFR and MS/BS. Osteoid accumulation was only significant in the high-dose therapy group, but there was no evidence of osteomalacia (osteoid volume < 5%). Etidronate treatment had no significant effect on bone volume, trabecular number, trabecular thickness, or trabecular separation. Vertebral trabeculae ranged from 5.5 to 9.5 times greater in number than mandibular trabeculae, but were 45 to 60 percent thinner and closer together. The interaction between dosage and site was insignificant for all parameters studied. Further investigation is needed to determine whether these effects will prove to be harmful to the mandibular condyle, especially over a long period of time.

description: A quantum phase transition (QPT), including both topological and symmetry breaking types, is usually induced by the change of global parameters, such as external fields or global coupling constants. In this work, we demonstrate the existence of QPT induced by the real-space topology of the system. We investigate the groundstate properties of the tight-binding model on a honeycomb lattice with the torus geometry based on exact results. It is shown that the ground state experiences a second- order QPT, exhibiting the scaling behavior, when the torus switches to a tube, which reveals the connection between quantum phase and the real-space topology of the system.

description: We study the crossover phase transition of the SU(2) Georgi-Glashow model in three dimensions. In this model, a confining condensate of topological 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles exists in the Higgs regime. We use lattice Monte Carlo simulations to study the monopole gas across a crossover transition, and demonstrate that gradient flow can be used to renormalize the otherwise divergent monopole number density. The condensation of the monopoles means that the theory admits also a massive photon-like excitation. We show that the renormalized monopole number density is approximately proportional to the square of the photon mass, in agreement with semiclassical results. Our results give insight into behaviour of the Higgs regime near crossover, which has boarder implications for beyond the Standard Model theories containing adjoint scalar fields.

description: Excerpts from the report: The James River Basin comprises 6,442,400 acres with 6,394,300 acres in Virginia and 48,100 acres in West Virginia. The Basin drains approximately 25 percent of central Virginia and less than 1 percent of West Virginia. The James River rises in the highlands near the Virginia-West Virginia line and flows generally eastward thru the cities of Covington, Lynchburg, and Richmond to the Chesapeake Bay at Newport News, Virginia. The Basin drains all or part of 39 counties in Virginia and two in West Virginia. The major tributaries of the James River are the Appomattox, Maury and Rivanna Rivers. The James River Basin study is defined as a Type IV level of investigation. The survey evaluates the overall water and related land resource problems and development potentials. This report contains an inventory of water and related land resources. It provides an economic base and describes problems and needs, development potentials, opportunities, and alternative solutions to meet present and probable future needs for water and related land resources. Projections were made by participating agencies to determine the needs for orderly growth and development of the Basin for the years 1980, 2000 and 2020.

Photo-$z$ with CuBAN$z$: An improved photometric redshift estimator using Clustering aided Back Propagation Neural network

description: We present an improved photometric redshift estimator code, CuBAN$z$, that is publicly available at https://goo.gl/fpk90V}{https://goo.gl/fpk90V. It uses the back propagation neural network along with clustering of the training set, which makes it more efficient than existing neural network codes. In CuBAN$z$, the training set is divided into several self learning clusters with galaxies having similar photometric properties and spectroscopic redshifts within a given span. The clustering algorithm uses the color information (i.e. $u-g$, $g-r$ etc.) rather than the apparent magnitudes at various photometric bands as the photometric redshift is more sensitive to the flux differences between different bands rather than the actual values. Separate neural networks are trained for each cluster using all possible colors, magnitudes and uncertainties in the measurements. For a galaxy with unknown redshift, we identify the closest possible clusters having similar photometric properties and use those clusters to get the photometric redshifts using the particular networks that were trained using those cluster members. For galaxies that do not match with any training cluster, the photometric redshifts are obtained from a separate network that uses entire training set. This clustering method enables us to determine the redshifts more accurately. SDSS Stripe 82 catalog has been used here for the demonstration of the code. For the clustered sources with redshift range $z_{\rm spec}<0.7$, the residual error ($\langle (z_{\rm spec}-z_{\rm phot})^2\rangle^{1/2} $) in the training/testing phase is as low as 0.03 compared to the existing ANNz code that provides residual error on the same test data set of 0.05. Further, we provide a much better estimate of the uncertainty of the derived photometric redshift.

In this paper, we consider non-symmetric bilinear forms that are the sum of strong local symmetric Dirichlet forms and lower-order perturbed terms. We give sufficient conditions for the associated semigroups to have asymptotics of the same type.

description: Tooth mass discrepancies have been studied extensively in Caucasian populations, but little has been done to compare differences between Caucasian and African-American populations. The objective of this study was to determine whether the incidence of tooth mass discrepancies between the maxillary and mandibular arches was greater in African-American populations than Caucasian populations. Pretreatment plaster orthodontic models of 100 African-American and 100 Caucasian patients from the Indiana University Orthodontic Clinic and from one private practitioner were measured with a Mitutoyo Digimatic® caliper accurate to 0.01 mm. Mesiodistal widths of all teeth from first molar to first molar were measured with the mesio-buccal and disto-buccal contact areas normally being the widest area. The investigator was blinded to the gender and ethnicity of the subject by assigning each model a random number which was matched to the patient profile only following statistical analysis. Anterior ratios and total (posterior+ anterior) ratios were calculated according to the methods described by Bolton and were compared to the Bolton means and standard deviations. Incidence of tooth mass discrepancy was also investigated according to gender and dental malocclusion classification of the individuals. Tooth mass discrepancies present a hurdle to the clinician in achieving an ideal occlusion. Reports of the incidence of significant discrepancies in defined populations alerts the practitioner to problems in finishing their patients' occlusions. Results of the study show nearly double the incidence of overall Bolton tooth mass discrepancy in the African-American sample than in the Caucasian. The overall tooth mass discrepancy was more severe in the African-American sample, while anterior tooth mass discrepancies were nearly identical in both populations.

Protection Related to High-power Targets
Creators: name: Plum, M. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Accelerator Physics (physics.acc-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Target protection is an important part of machine protection. The beam power in high-intensity accelerators is high enough that a single wayward pulse can cause serious damage. Today's high-power targets operate at the limit of available technology, and are designed for a very narrow range of beam parameters. If the beam pulse is too far off centre, or if the beam size is not correct, or if the beam density is too high, the target can be seriously damaged. We will start with a brief introduction to high-power targets and then move to a discussion of what can go wrong, and what are the risks. Next we will discuss how to control the beam-related risk, followed by examples from a few different accelerator facilities. We will finish with a detailed example of the Oak Ridge Spallation Neutron Source target tune up and target protection.

Subjects: Performance appraisal, Employee's productivity and MTN

description: This study analyzed the influence of performance appraisal on employee’s productivity in Nigeria telecommunication industry (MTN) in Awka, Anambra, Nigeria. A descriptive research survey design was adopted for this research. The total population size for this study was 63 while total enumeration method was used to derive the sample taking into cognizance the manageable size of the population. Data were generated using questionnaires administered to the respondents. The data collected was analyzed with the help of descriptive statistics and Pearson correlated coefficient was used to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between performance appraisal and employee’s productivity in MTN Telecommunication Company, Awka. However this study recommended among others that telecommunication management should continuously monitor and ensure that prevailing performance appraisal system and ethical conduct and beaviour of the organization is an enabler that supports employee productivity and feedback receptivity relevant for organizational success

description: Understanding galaxy formation and evolution requires studying the interplay between the growth of galaxies and the growth of their black holes across cosmic time. Here we explore a sample of Ha-selected star-forming galaxies from the HiZELS survey and use the wealth of multi-wavelength data in the COSMOS field (X-rays, far-infrared and radio) to study the relative growth rates between typical galaxies and their central supermassive black holes, from z=2.23 to z=0. Typical star-forming galaxies at z~1-2 have black hole accretion rates (BHARs) of 0.001-0.01 Msun/yr and star formation rates (SFRs) of ~10-40 Msun/yr, and thus grow their stellar mass much quicker than their black hole mass (~3.3 orders of magnitude faster). However, ~3% of the sample (the sources detected directly in the X-rays) show a significantly quicker growth of the black hole mass (up to 1.5 orders of magnitude quicker growth than the typical sources). BHARs fall from z=2.23 to z=0, with the decline resembling that of star formation rate density or the typical SFR. We find that the average black hole to galaxy growth (BHAR/SFR) is approximately constant for star-forming galaxies in the last 11 Gyrs. The relatively constant BHAR/SFR suggests that these two quantities evolve equivalently through cosmic time and with practically no delay between the two.

Generalized Newton-Cartan Geometries for Particles and Strings

description: We discuss the generalized Newton-Cartan geometries that can serve as gravitational background fields for particles and strings. In order to enable us to define affine connections that are invariant under all the symmetries of the structure group, we describe torsionful geometries with independent torsion tensors. A characteristic feature of the non-Lorentzian geometries we consider is that some of the torsion tensors are so-called `intrinsic torsion' tensors that cannot be absorbed in any of the spin connections. Setting some components of these intrinsic torsion tensors to zero leads to constraints on the geometry. For both particles and strings, we discuss various such constraints that can be imposed consistently with the structure group symmetries. In this way, we reproduce several results in the literature.

Heat Current in Non-Markovian Open Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We generalize time-evolving matrix product operators method to nonequilibrium quantum transport problems. The nonequilibrium current is obtained via numerical differentiation of the generating functional which is represented as a tensor network. The approach is numerically exact and the non-Markovian effects are fully taken into account. In the transport process, a part of the heat that flows out from a bath flows into the system and other baths, and the rest is stored in the system-bath coupling part. We take the spin-boson model as a demonstration to show the details of this heat flowing and the establishment of a steady current between two baths.

Tidal deformability and I-Love-Q relations for gravastars with polytropic thin shells

description: The moment of inertia, the spin-induced quadrupole moment, and the tidal Love number of neutron-star and quark-star models are related through some relations which depend only mildly on the stellar equation of state. These "I-Love-Q" relations have important implications for astrophysics and gravitational-wave astronomy. An interesting problem is whether similar relations hold for other compact objects and how they approach the black-hole limit. To answer these questions, here we investigate the deformation properties of a large class of thin-shell gravastars, which are exotic compact objects that do not possess an event horizon nor a spacetime singularity. Working in a small-spin and small-tidal field expansion, we calculate the moment of inertia, the quadrupole moment, and the (quadrupolar electric) tidal Love number of gravastars with a polytropic thin shell. The I-Love-Q relations of a thin-shell gravastar are drastically different from those of an ordinary neutron star. The Love number and quadrupole moment are negative for less compact models and the I-Love-Q relations continuously approach the black-hole limit. We consider a variety of polytropic equations of state for the matter shell, and find no universality in the I-Love-Q relations. However, we cannot deny the possibility that, similarly to the neutron-star case, an approximate universality might emerge for a limited class of equations of state. Finally, we discuss how a measurement of the tidal deformability from the gravitational-wave detection of a compact-binary inspiral can be used to constrain exotic compact objects like gravastars.

description: We numerically study structure and dynamics of single files composed of active particles, as well as, active-passive binary mixtures. Our simulation results show that when the persistent length of self-propelled particles is much larger than the average inter-particle separation and the self-propulsion velocity is larger than the thermal velocity, particles in the file exist as clusters of various sizes. Average cluster size and structures of the file are very sensitive to self-propulsion properties, thermal fluctuations and composition of the mixture. In addition to the variation of file composition, our study considers two sorts of mixture configurations. One corresponds to the uniform distribution of active passive throughout the mixture in the single file. In the other configuration, active particles are on one side of the file. For the both configurations, even a little fraction of active particles produces a large impact on the structure and dynamics of the file.
