Danish families

description: On any given day, approximately 2.1 million children in Europe have an incarcerated parent. Although research indicates that material hardship is associated with parental incarceration, and particularly paternal incarceration, little is known about family processes that may mitigate the harmful effects of such hardship on children with an incarcerated parent. Guided by a resilience framework, this study examined how family processes mediate the effects of material hardship on youth academic adjustment within the context of paternal incarceration. Using Danish data that assessed key family constructs, structural equation modeling was used to perform a mediational within-group analysis of primary caregivers (n = 727) to children with an incarcerated father. Results indicate that although social support and parenting skills did not yield mediating effects, caregiver mental health strongly mediated the effects of material hardship on youth academic adjustment during paternal incarceration. Findings suggest that economic conditions, as well as caregiver mental health symptoms, are important areas of intervention that may promote family-level resilience for youth of an imprisoned father. We conclude with research and practice recommendations to advance our understanding of resilience among families with an incarcerated parent.

description: Small-scale clumps of dark matter are gravitationally bounded structures that have masses comparable to or lower than stellar masses and consist of noninteracting or weakly interacting dark matter particles. In this paper, the current knowledge about the formation and evolution of such structures is reviewed, various types of spectra of primordial cosmological perturbations are considered, and various dark matter models are discussed. Depending on the particular spectrum type, dark matter clumps may differ considerably in their formation processes and ultimate characteristics. The role of clumps in experiments on indirect detection of dark matter particles via their annihilation products is discussed. A number of astrophysical problems and phenomena that are related to dark matter clumps are examined.

description: The causative agent of COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, gains access to cells through interactions of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) on the viral S protein with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on the surface of human host cells. Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) was used to generate aptamers (nucleic acids selected for high binding affinity to a target) to the RBD made from 2ʹ-fluoro-arabinonucleic acid (FANA). The best selected ~79 nucleotide aptamers bound the RBD (Arg319-Phe541) and the larger S1 domain (Val16-Arg685) of the 1272 amino acid S protein with equilibrium dissociation constants (KD,app) of ~10–20 nM, and binding half-life for the RBD, S1 domain, and full trimeric S protein of 53 ± 18, 76 ± 5, and 127 ± 7 min, respectively. Aptamers inhibited the binding of the RBD to ACE2 in an ELISA assay. Inhibition, on a per weight basis, was similar to neutralizing antibodies that were specific for RBD. Aptamers demonstrated high specificity, binding with about 10-fold lower affinity to the related S1 domain from the original SARS virus, which also binds to ACE2. Overall, FANA aptamers show affinities comparable to previous DNA aptamers to RBD and S1 protein and directly block receptor interactions while using an alternative Xeno-nucleic acid (XNA) platform.

description: Recent analyses of flavor-breaking hadronic-$τ$-decay-based sum rules produce values of $\vert V_{us}\vert$ $\sim 3σ$ low compared to 3-family unitarity expectations. An unresolved systematic issue is the significant variation in $\vert V_{us}\vert$ produced by different prescriptions for treating the slowly converging $D=2$ OPE series. We investigate the reliability of these prescriptions using lattice data for various flavor-breaking correlators and show the fixed-scale prescription is clearly preferred. Preliminary updates of the conventional $τ$-based, and related mixed $τ$-electroproduction-data-based, sum rule analyses incorporating B-factory results for low-multiplicity strange $τ$ decay mode distributions are then performed. Use of the preferred FOPT $D=2$ OPE prescription is shown to significantly reduce the discrepancy between 3-family unitarity expectations and the sum rule results.

description: This paper discusses the main minimalist theory within the Minimalist Program, something I dub the (Weak) Merge Hypothesis (MH). (1) The (Weak) Merge Hypothesis (MH): Merge is a central G operation. I suggest that we extend (1) by adding to it a general principle that I dub the Fundamental Principle of Grammar (FPG). (2) The Fundamental Principle of Grammar (FPG): α and β can be grammatically related. (G-related) only if α and β have merged. Adding (1) and (2) gives us the Strong Merge Hypothesis. (3) The Strong Merge Hypothesis (SMH): All grammatical dependencies are mediated by Merge. SMH has some interesting consequences which the rest of the paper briefly reviews. Highlights include the Movement Theory of Construal, The Periscope Property on selection, as well as preserving the standard results from the Weak Merge Hypothesis.

description: We investigate the critical phenomena of the degree-ordered percolation (DOP) model on the hierarchical $(u,v)$ flower network. Using the renormalization-group like procedure, we derive the recursion relations for the percolating probability and the percolation order parameter, from which the percolation threshold and the critical exponents are obtained. When $u\neq 1$, the DOP critical behavior turns out to be identical to that of the bond percolation with a shifted nonzero percolation threshold. When $u=1$, the DOP and the bond percolation have the same vanishing percolation threshold but the critical behaviors are different. Implication to an epidemic spreading phenomenon is discussed.

description: Interactions between soils and climate impact wider environmental sustainability. Soil heterogeneity intricately regulates these interactions over short spatiotemporal scales and therefore needs to be more finely examined. This paper examines how redox heterogeneity at the level of minerals, microbial cells, organic matter, and the rhizosphere entangles biogeochemical cycles in soil with climate change. Redox heterogeneity is used to develop a conceptual framework that encompasses soil microsites (anaerobic and aerobic) and cryptic biogeochemical cycling, helping to explain poorly understood processes such as methanogenesis in oxygenated soils. This framework is further shown to disentangle global carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pathways that include CO2, CH4, and N2O. Climate-driven redox perturbations are discussed using wetlands and tropical forests as model systems. Powerful analytical methods are proposed to be combined and used more extensively to study coupled abiotic and biotic reactions that are affected by redox heterogeneity. A core view is that emerging and future research will benefit substantially from developing multifaceted analyses of redox heterogeneity over short spatiotemporal scales in soil. Taking a leap in our understanding of soil and climate interactions and their evolving influence on environmental sustainability then depends on greater collaborative efforts to comprehensively investigate redox heterogeneity spanning the domain of microscopic soil interfaces.

description: We obtain the baryon number density, n, and the excess contribution to the pressure, Delta P, at finite chemical potential, mu_B, and temperature, T, by resumming the Taylor series expansion in a lattice computation with lattice spacing of 1/(4T) and two flavours of quarks at three different quark masses. The method proceeds by giving a critical mu_B and limits on the critical exponent, and permits reliable estimations of the errors in resummed quantities. We find that n and Delta P are insensitive to the quark mass. We also report the bulk isothermal compressibility, kappa, over a range of T and mu_B.

description: RNA structural research lags behind that of proteins, preventing a robust understanding of RNA functions. NMR spectroscopy is an apt technique for probing the structures and dynamics of RNA molecules in solution at atomic resolution. Still, RNA analysis by NMR suffers from spectral overlap and line broadening, both of which worsen for larger RNAs. Incorporation of stable isotope labels into RNA has provided several solutions to these challenges. In this review, we summarize the benefits and limitations of various methods used to obtain isotope-labeled RNA building blocks and how they are used to prepare isotope-labeled RNA for NMR structure and dynamics studies.

description: Frequent droughts, seasonal precipitation, and growing agricultural water demand in the Yakima River Basin (YRB), located in Washington State, increase the challenges of optimizing water provision for agricultural producers. Increasing water storage through managed aquifer recharge (MAR) can potentially relief water stress from single and multi-year droughts. In this study, we developed an aggregated water resources management tool using a System Dynamics (SD) framework for the YRB and evaluated the MAR implementation strategy and the effectiveness of MAR in alleviating drought impacts on irrigation reliability. The SD model allocates available water resources to meet instream target flows, hydropower demands, and irrigation demand, based on system operation rules, irrigation scheduling, water rights, and MAR adoption. Our findings suggest that the adopted infiltration area for MAR is one of the main factors that determines the amount of water withdrawn and infiltrated to the groundwater system. The implementation time frame is also critical in accumulating MAR entitlements for single-year and multi-year droughts mitigation. In addition, adoption behaviors drive a positive feedback that MAR effectiveness on drought mitigation will encourage more MAR adoptions in the long run. MAR serves as a promising option for water storage management and a long-term strategy for MAR implementation can improve system resilience to unexpected droughts.

Helioseismic Constraints and Paradigm Shift in Solar Dynamo

description: Helioseismology provides important constraints for the solar dynamo problem. However, the basic properties and even the depth of the dynamo process, which operates also in other stars, are unknown. Most of the dynamo models suggest that the toroidal magnetic field that emerges on the surface and forms sunspots is generated near the bottom of the convection zone, in the tachocline. However, there is a number of theoretical and observational problems with justifying the deep-seated dynamo models. This leads to the idea that the subsurface angular velocity shear may play an important role in the solar dynamo. Using helioseismology measurements of the internal rotation and meridional circulation, we investigate a mean-field MHD model of dynamo distributed in the bulk of the convection zone but shaped in a near-surface layer. We show that if the boundary conditions at the top of the dynamo region allow the large-scale toroidal magnetic fields to penetrate into the surface, then the dynamo wave propagates along the isosurface of angular velocity in the subsurface shear layer, forming the butterfly diagram in agreement with the Parker-Yoshimura rule and solar-cycle observations. Unlike the flux-transport dynamo models, this model does not depend on the transport of magnetic field by meridional circulation at the bottom of the convection zone, and works well when the meridional circulation forms two cells in radius, as recently indicated by deep-focus time-distance helioseismology analysis of the SDO/HMI and SOHO/MDI data. We compare the new dynamo model with various characteristics if the solar magnetic cycles, including the cycle asymmetry (Waldmeier's relations) and magnetic `butterfly' diagrams.

description: We study the stellar haloes of galaxies out to 70-100 kpc as a function of stellar mass and galaxy type by stacking aligned $r$ and $g$ band images from a sample of 45508 galaxies from SDSS DR9 in the redshift range $0.06\,\le\,z\,\le\,0.1$ and in the mass range $10^{10.0} M_{\odot} < M_{*} < 10^{11.4} M_{\odot}$r. We derive surface brightness profiles to a depth of almost $μ_r \sim 32 \,\mathrm{mag\,arcsec}^{-2}$. We find that the ellipticity of the stellar halo is a function of galaxy stellar mass and that the haloes of high concentration ($C > 2.6$) galaxies are more elliptical than those of low concentration ($C < 2.6$) galaxies. The $g$-$r$ colour profile of high concentration galaxies reveals that the $g$-$r$ colour of the stellar population in the stellar halo is bluer than in the main galaxy, and the colour of the stellar halo is redder for higher mass galaxies. We further demonstrate that the full two-dimensional surface intensity distribution of our galaxy stacks can only be fit through multi-component Sérsic models. Using the fraction of light in the outer component of the models as a proxy for the fraction of accreted stellar light, we show that this fraction is a function of stellar mass and galaxy type. For high concentration galaxies, the fraction of accreted stellar light rises from $30\%$ to $70\%$ for galaxies in the stellar mass range from $10^{10.0} M_{\odot}$ to $10^{11.4} M_{\odot}$. The fraction of accreted light is much smaller in low concentration systems, increasing from $2\%$ to $25\%$ over the same mass range. This work provides important constraints for the theoretical understanding of the formation of stellar haloes of galaxies.

description: Hintergrund: Tiergestützte Therapie wird bei der Behandlung von Abhängigkeitserkrankungen bereits angewendet. Wenig Literatur besteht zum Thema Haustiere im Alltag bei Menschen mit Abhängigkeitserkrankungen während und nach einem Entzug. 

Ziel: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, ergotherapeutisches Hintergrundwissen zur Betätigungs-Transition von Menschen mit einer Abhängigkeitserkrankung zu gewinnen. Dazu will beantwortet werden, wie sich Haustierhaltung als Betätigung im Alltag auf die Partizipation von Menschen mit einer Abhängigkeitserkrankung in der Betätigungs-Transition aufgrund eines Entzugs auswirkt. 

Methode: Anhand einer themengeleiteten Arbeit wurde eine Recherche durchgeführt. Drei Studien, zwei Artikel und eine Autobiografie wurden ausgewertet. Zusätzlich wurden halbstrukturierte Interviews mit Fachpersonen durchgeführt und anhand Kategorien, gestützt auf den MOHO-Domänen, analysiert. 

Relevante Ergebnisse: In den Performanzbereichen Freizeit und Arbeit zeigen sich überwiegend negative Auswirkungen. Negative und positive Auswirkungen, wurden auf den Performanzbereich Selbstversorgung festgestellt. Auffällig sind die positiven Auswirkungen aufgrund der Partizipation in der Mensch-Haustier-Beziehung und deren positiver Einfluss auf die Partizipation in der Gesellschaft. 

Schlussfolgerung: Haustierhaltung als Betätigung kann besonders auf niederschwellige Aktivitäten einen fördernden Einfluss haben. Für die Partizipation in anderen Rollen kann sie hinderlich sein. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass in vielen Performanzbereichen eine Steigerung der Partizipation durch die Haustierhaltung erfolgen und die Betätigungs-Transition dadurch gefördert werden kann.

description: A metamodeling technique based on Bivariate Cut High Dimensional Model Representation (Bivariate Cut HDMR) is implemented for a semiconductor packaging design problem with 10 design variables. Bivariate Cut-HDMR constructs a metamodel by considering only up to second-order interactions. The implementation uses three uniformly distributed sample points (s = 3) with quadratic spline interpolation to construct the component functions of Bivariate Cut-HDMR, which can be used to make a direct comparison with a metamodel based on Central Composite Design (CCD). The performance of Bivariate Cut-HDMR is evaluated by two well-known error metrics: R-squared and Relative Average Absolute Error (RAAE). The results are compared with the performance of CCD. Bivariate Cut HDMR does not compromise the accuracy compared to CCD, although the former uses only one-fifth of sample points (201 sample points) required by the latter (1045 sample points). The sampling schemes and the predictions of cut-planes and boundary-planes are discussed to explain possible reasons for the outstanding performance of Bivariate Cut HDMR.

description: All-cellulose nanocomposites have been produced from cellulose nanofiber (CNF) suspensions and molecular coil solutions. Morphology and small-angle neutron scattering studies show the exfoliation and dispersion of CNFs in aqueous suspensions. Cellulose solutions in mixtures of ionic liquid and organic solvents were homogeneously mixed with CNF suspensions and subsequently dried to yield cellulose composites comprising CNF and amorphous cellulose over the entire composition range. Tensile tests show that stiffness and strength quantities of cellulose nanocomposites are the highest value at ca. 20% amorphous cellulose, while their fracture strain and toughness are the lowest. The inclusion of amorphous cellulose in cellulose nanocomposites alters their water uptake capacity, as measured in the ratio of the absorbed water to the cellulose mass, reducing from 37 for the neat CNF to less than 1 for a composite containing 35% or more amorphous cellulose. This study offers new insights into the design and production of all-cellulose nanocomposites.

description: Recent advances in creating complex oxide heterostructures, interfaces formed between two different transition metal oxides, have heralded a new era of materials and physics research, enabling a uniquely diverse set of coexisting physical properties to be combined with an ever- increasing degree of experimental control. Already, these systems have exhibited such varied phenomena as superconductivity, magnetism, and ferroelasticity, all of which are gate-tunable, demonstrating their promise for fundamental discovery and technological innovation alike. To fully exploit this richness, it is necessary to understand and control the physics on the smallest scales, making the use of nanoscale probes essential. Using the prototypical LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface as a guide, we explore the exciting developments in the physics of oxide-based heterostructures, with a focus on nanostructures and the nanoscale probes employed to unravel their complex behavior.

description: Radio occultation (RO) sensor measurements have critical roles in numerical weather prediction (NWP) by complementing microwave and infrared sounder measurements with information of the atmospheric profiles at high accuracy, precision, and vertical resolution. This study evaluates Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate 2 (COSMIC-2) wet temperature and humidity data products’ consistency and stability through inter-comparison with SNPP advanced technology microwave sounder (ATMS) measurements. Through the community radiative transfer model (CRTM), brightness temperature (BT) at SNPP ATMS channels are simulated with COSMIC-2 retrieved atmospheric profiles from two versions of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) wet profiles (WETprf and WETpf2) as inputs to the CRTM simulation. The analysis was focused on ATMS sounding channels CH07–14 and CH19–22 with sounding weighting function peak heights from 3.2 to 35 km. The COSMIC-2 vs. ATMS inter-comparison indicates that their BT biases are consistent, and the latitudinal difference is <0.3 K over three latitudinal regions. The differences between the two versions of UCAR COSMIC-2 wet profiles are identified and attributed to the differences in the implementation of 1DVAR retrieval algorithms. The stability between UCAR near real-time COSMIC-2 wet profile data and ATMS measurements is also well-maintained. It is demonstrated that the well-sustained quality of COSMIC-2 RO data makes itself a well-suited reference sensor to capture the calibration update of SNPP ATMS. Furthermore, the impacts of the assimilation of COSMIC-2 data into the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model after 25 March 2020, are evaluated by trending observation-minus-background (O-B) biases, which confirms the statistically significant positive impacts of COSMIC-2 on the ECMWF reanalysis. The validation of stability and consistency between COSMIC-2 and SNPP ATMS ensures the quality of RO and microwave sounder data assimilated into the NWP models.

description: A full symmetry classification is given for models of energy transport in radiant plasma when the mass density is spatially variable and the diffusivity is nonlinear. A systematic search for conservation laws also leads to some potential symmetries, and to an integrable nonlinear model. Classical point symmetries, potential symmetries and nonclassical symmetries are used to effect variable reductions and exact solutions. The simplest time-dependent solution is shown to be stable, and relevant to a closed system.

description: Even though Planck data released in 2013 (P13) is not compatible with Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization (B2) and some local cosmological observations, including Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) samples and $H_0$ prior from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) etc, Wilkinson Microwaves Anisotropy Probe 9-year data (W9) is consistent with all of them in the base six-parameter $Λ$CDM+tensor cosmology quite well. In this letter, we adopt the combinations of B2+W9 and B2+W9+SNLS+BAO+HST to constrain the cosmological parameters in the base six-parameter $Λ$CDM+tensor model with $n_t=-r/8$, where r and $n_t$ are the tensor-to-scalar ratio and the tilt of relic gravitational wave spectrum, and BAO denotes Baryon Acoustic Oscillation. We find that the Harrison-Zel'dovich (HZ) scale invariant scalar power spectrum is consistent with both data combinations, chaotic inflation is marginally disfavored by the data at around $2σ$ level, but the power-law inflation model and the inflation model with inverse power-law potential can fit the data nicely.

description: Harnessing nonlinearities strong enough to allow two single photons to interact with one another is not only a fascinating challenge but is central to numerous advanced applications in quantum information science. Currently, all known approaches are extremely challenging although a few have led to experimental realisations with attenuated classical laser light. This has included cross-phase modulation with weak classical light in atomic ensembles and optical fibres, converting incident laser light into a non-classical stream of photon or Rydberg blockades as well as all-optical switches with attenuated classical light in various atomic systems. Here we report the observation of a nonlinear parametric interaction between two true single photons. Single photons are initially generated by heralding one photon from each of two independent spontaneous parametric downconversion sources. The two heralded single photons are subsequently combined in a nonlinear waveguide where they are converted into a single photon with a higher energy. Our approach highlights the potential for quantum nonlinear optics with integrated devices, and as the photons are at telecom wavelengths, it is well adapted to applications in quantum communication.

Animal virtue
Creators: name: Tagg, Nathanael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Animal Virtue, a first collection of poetry by Nathanael Tagg, engages with curious as well as quotidian realities—all related to themes of art, place, and intimacy. Aware that humans are animals and that our relationship to nature is the great issue of our time, the book spotlights something like virtue exhibited by, or symbolized by, or learned from animals. Likewise, it exposes behavior that masquerades as virtue. Full of biblical allusions and references, it approaches the Bible as mythic literature evolving independent of dogma, and it helps rejuvenate the tradition of poetry that relates the Bible to contemporary experience.
Pricing Product Options and Using Them to Complete Markets for Functions of Two Underlying Asset Prices

description: Options paying the product of put and/or call option payouts at different strikes on two underlying assets are observed to synthesize joint densities and replicate differentiable functions of two underlying asset prices. The pricing of such options is undertaken from three perspectives. The first perspective uses a geometric two-dimensional Brownian motion model. The second inverts two-dimensional characteristic functions. The third uses a bootstrapped physical measure to propose a risk charge minimizing hedge using options on the two underlying assets. The options are priced at the cost of the hedge plus the risk charge.

description: We are interested in the class, in the Elie Cartan sense, of left invariant forms on a Lie group. We construct the class of Lie algebras provided with a contact form and classify the frobeniusian Lie algebras up to a contraction. We also study forms which are invariant by a subgroup. We show that the simple group SL(2n,R) which doesn't admit left invariant contact form, yet admits a contact form which is invariant by a maximal compact subgroup. We determine also Pfaffian forms on the Heisenberg $3$-dimensional group invariant by a subgroup and obtain the Transport Equation.

The Evolution of Research on Abundances of Solar Energetic Particles

description: Sixty years of study of energetic particle abundances have made a major contribution to our understanding of the physics of solar energetic particles (SEPs) or solar cosmic rays. An early surprise was the observation in small SEP events of huge enhancements in the isotope 3He from resonant wave–particle interactions, and the subsequent observation of accompanying enhancements of heavy ions, later found to increase 1000-fold as a steep power of the mass-to-charge ratio A/Q, right across the elements from H to Pb. These “impulsive” SEP events have been related to magnetic reconnection on open field lines in solar jets; similar processes occur on closed loops in flares, but those SEPs are trapped and dissipate their energy in heat and light. After early controversy, it was established that particles in the large “gradual” SEP events are accelerated at shock waves driven by wide, fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that expand broadly. On average, gradual SEP events give us a measure of element abundances in the solar corona, which differ from those in the photosphere as a classic function of the first ionization potential (FIP) of the elements, distinguishing ions and neutrals. Departures from the average in gradual SEPs are also power laws in A/Q, and fits of this dependence can determine Q values and thus estimate source plasma temperatures. Complications arise when shock waves reaccelerate residual ions from the impulsive events, but excess protons and the extent of abundance variations help to resolve these processes. Yet, specific questions about SEP abundances remain.

description: Weak values of the spin operator Sz of massive particles, more precisely neutrons, have been experimentally determined by applying a novel measurement scheme. This is achieved by coupling the neutron's spin weakly to its spatial degree of freedom in a single-neutron interferometer setup. The real and imaginary parts as well as the modulus of the weak value are obtained by a systematical variation of pre- and post-selected ensembles, which enables to study the complex properties of spin weak values.

description: Lithium-ion battery datasheets, also known as specification sheets, are documents that battery manufacturers provide to define the battery’s function, operational limit, performance, reliability, safety, cautions, prohibitions, and warranty. Product manufacturers and customers rely on the datasheets for battery selection and battery management. However, battery datasheets often have ambiguous and, in many cases, misleading terminology and data. This paper reviews and evaluates the datasheets of 25 different lithium-ion battery types from eleven major battery manufacturers. Issues that customers may face are discussed, and recommendations for developing an informative and valuable datasheet that will help customers procure suitable batteries are presented.

description: We study the signals for a "fermiophobic" charged Higgs boson present in an extension of the standard model with an additional Higgs doublet and right handed neutrinos, responsible for generating Dirac-type neutrino masses. We study the pair production of the charged Higgs at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which can be relatively light and still allowed by experimental data. The charged Higgs decays dominantly into a $W$ boson and a very light neutral scalar present in the model, which decays invisibly and passes undetected. We find that the signal for such a charged Higgs is overwhelmed by the standard model background and will prove elusive at the 8 TeV run of the LHC. We present a cut-flow based analysis to pinpoint a search strategy at the 14 TeV run of the LHC which can achieve a signal significance of 5$σ$ for a given mass range of the charged Higgs.

description: Using an exact expression for the bi-spinor of parallel transport, we construct the Feynman propagator for Dirac fermions in the vacuum state on anti-de Sitter space-time. We compute the vacuum expectation value of the stress-energy tensor by removing coincidence-limit divergences using the Hadamard method. We then use the vacuum Feynman propagator to compute thermal expectation values at finite temperature. We end with a discussion of rigidly rotating thermal states.
