Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Increasingly, students with disabilities are attending college and using accommodations to ensure equal access to academics and college life. Students with disabilities have insight into their accommodations, have opinions on the instructional practices that support their learning, and have thoughts about the abrupt transition to remote education in the spring of 2020. Relatively few studies explored the impact of accommodations and the academic experience from the student's perspective. Often, college disability service offices approve accommodations without knowing how they influence the students’ educational access. A mixed-method study was conducted to explore the experience of students approved for academic accommodations through the Office of Disability Services at a northeast public research university. Sixteen college students who utilized approved academic accommodations for at least one semester agreed to be interviewed. Three interviewees also participated in a focus group to explore emergent interview themes. In addition, responses to questions from the institution’s 2020 Office of Disability Services (ODS) student survey were analyzed. The following research questions were explored: 1. How do students with disabilities describe their experience using academic accommodations?2.According to students, how do accommodations facilitate academic access?3.What instructional methods do students identify as supportive of learning?4.How do students describe their transition to remote learning during the spring 2020 semester?The interview and focus group participants stated that accommodations had a positive academic impact, provided access, and allowed them to demonstrate their learning. Although the participants identified a range of supportive instructional practices, there was no consensus on specific methods. Supportive instruction for some participants was considered a hindrance for others. Similarly, the transition to remote learning removed academic barriers for some and created obstacles for others. There was consensus on the need for flexibility, but the participants needed the flexibility differently. This study illustrated the diversity among a subset of the university community and the value of having multiple options to create an inclusive learning environment.

description: We perform \emph{ab initio} quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations of the warm dense uniform electron gas in the thermodynamic limit. By combining QMC data with linear response theory we are able to remove finite-size errors from the potential energy over the entire warm dense regime, overcoming the deficiencies of the existing finite-size corrections by Brown \emph{et al.}~[PRL \textbf{110}, 146405 (2013)]. Extensive new QMC results for up to $N=1000$ electrons enable us to compute the potential energy $V$ and the exchange-correlation free energy $F_{xc}$ of the macroscopic electron gas with an unprecedented accuracy of $|ΔV|/|V|, |ΔF_{xc}|/|F|_{xc} \sim 10^{-3}$. A comparison of our new data to the recent parametrization of $F_{xc}$ by Karasiev {\em et al.} [PRL {\bf 112}, 076403 (2014)] reveals significant deviations to the latter.

description: Nuclear Clusters (NCs) are common stellar systems in the centres of galaxies. Yet, the physical mechanisms involved in their formation are still debated. Using a parsec-resolution hydrodynamical simulation of a dwarf galaxy, we propose an updated formation scenario for NCs. In this 'wet migration scenario', a massive star cluster forms in the gas-rich disc, keeping a gas reservoir, and growing further while it migrates to the centre via a combination of interactions with other substructures and dynamical friction. A wet merger with another dense cluster and its own gas reservoir can occur, although this is not a pre-requisite for the actual formation of the NC. The merging process does significantly alter the properties of the NC (mass, morphology, star formation history), also quenching the on-going local star formation activity, thus leading to interesting observational diagnostics for the physical origin of NCs. A population of lower mass clusters co-exist during the simulation, but these are either destroyed via tidal forces, or have high angular momentum preventing them to interact with the NC and contribute to its growth. The proposed updated scenario emphasises the role of gas reservoirs associated with the densest star clusters formed in a gas-rich low-mass galaxy.

Year: 2019

description: As part of logistics, transportation has emerged to have huge potential in enhancing production and distribution of goods, personnel, military equipments materials in the organization. Understanding this is very essential and important in defense organization where each and every part of supply chain management is essential for the effectiveness of the entire department in the organization. The department was chosen because it has not been performing well as expected despite in the last three years (2016-2018). The study was guided by the following objectives; to establish the level of implementation of transport management practice on logistics performance, to determine the relation between transport management practices and logistics performance and to identify the challenges in the implementing of transport management practices on logistics performance at LMD. This study was adopted the descriptive and inferential statics on explanatory research design to obtaining the information about the study topic. The study's population comprised of all logistics main department employees who were selected based on stratified sampling approach. The data was collected by using questionnaire and interview and analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis used by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study found out that both customer requirement strategy and carrier management practice to low extent and both freight payment and audit practice and transport performance monitoring practice were implemented to a moderate extent. The study further found out that there exists a strong relationship between transport management practice and logistics performance at LMD. The study also found out that there are challenges that limit the effectiveness in the implementation transportation process. The study thus concludes that increase in transport management practice would result in enhanced logistics performance. The study recommends that the management at LMD conduct an evaluation of these strategies, and how exactly they are implemented. The study thus suggests that further studies to be conducted on how these challenges may be addressed. Further research should also be using a different approach in determination of the effect of transportation has in logistics performance

description: In areas such as computer software and hardware, manufacturing systems, and transportation, engineers encounter networks with arbitrarily large numbers of isomorphic subprocesses. Parameterized systems provide a framework for modeling such networks. The analysis of parameterized systems is a challenge as some key properties such as nonblocking and deadlock-freedom are undecidable even for the case of a parameterized system with ring topology. In this paper, we introduce \textit{Parameterized-Chain Networks} (PCN) for modeling of networks containing several linear parameterized segments. Since deadlock analysis is undecidable, to achieve a tractable subproblem we limit the behavior of subprocesses of the network using our previously developed mathematical notion `weak invariant simulation.' We develop a dependency graph for analysis of PCN and show that partial and total deadlocks of the proposed PCN are characterized by full, consistent subgraphs of the dependency graph. We investigate deadlock in a traffic network as an illustrative example. This document contains all the details and proofs of the study.

Valuing the Benefits of Improved Lake Quality: An Application of Choice Experiment to the Case of Lake Awassa
Creators: name: Gebrselassie, Girma
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2006

description: The Lake environment provides many goods and services depending on the different attributes of the surrounding environment. In this paper, we identified, among other things three attributes, i.e., two environmental attributes (Tilapia fish stock, Surrounding forest cover) and one monetary attribute (fishing permit). We carry out a Choice experiment among fishermen of Awassa Lake to estimate the value of improvement of the lake quality in general in terms of the attributes selected. We analyzed the data using Multinomial logit model and derive important issues concerning the preferences of fishermen of Lake Awassa. Results confirm that fishermen of Awassa Lake have high levels of environmental concern and are willing to pay for the improvement of the lake environment in terms of the attributes selected in the Choice experiment. According to our result the most preferred attribute is Tilapia stock and it is also a significant attribute and therefore the most urgent action is to firstly to prevent further depletion of the Tilapia fish stock of the lake. This is also reflected in their higher willingness to pay for Tilapia fish stock improvement. Very low willingness to pay is observed for improvement in the degraded surrounding vegetation and forest cover of the lake. The marginal willingness to pay(Implicit prices) for the environmental attributes Tilapia fish stock and Surrounding forest cover were estimated. The mean WTP for Tilapia fish stock improvement is estimated to be 8.83 birr per month. However, mean willingness to pay for improvements in the surrounding forest cover is almost insignificant. Compensating surplus estimates which reflect overall willingness to pay for a change from the status quo (current situation) to alternative improvement scenarios were also calculated. The estimate for the high impact scenario was estimated to be 31.42 birr, for medium impact scenario 28.62 birr and for low impact scenario it was 18.62 birr per month. One important implication draw from the study is that since the fishermen are willing to support the plan for the environmental improvement, the introduction of fishing permit is promising feature for resource users and as well as to the management of the natural resources as the whole.

description: We consider the 2D alternate quantum walk on a cylinder. We concentrate on the study of the motion along the open dimension, in the spirit of looking at the closed coordinate as a small or "hidden" extra dimension. If one starts from localized initial conditions on the lattice, the dynamics of the quantum walk that is obtained after tracing out the small dimension shows the contribution of several components, which can be understood from the study of the dispersion relations for this problem. In fact, these components originate from the contribution of the possible values of the quasi-momentum in the closed dimension. In the continuous space-time limit, the different components manifest as a set of Dirac equations, with each quasi-momentum providing the value of the corresponding mass. We briefly discuss the possible link of these ideas to the simulation of high energy physical theories that include extra dimensions. Finally, entanglement between the coin and spatial degrees of freedom is studied, showing that the entanglement entropy clearly overcomes the value reached with only one spatial dimension.

description: The purpose of this study was to understand the relationships between food distribution and community engagement at a low-income school. This study addressed community engagement in food distribution practices to develop a full-service community school atmosphere. Having access to high-quality food distribution is critical. After the global pandemic, food distribution for students shifted to daily meals of free breakfast and lunch. Campus food distribution was a daily concern among all educational partners. During weekly meetings with educational partners, parents demanded to meet with the food vendor and the food authority agency that had procured them. Inquiry in this study focused on food distribution, food insecurity, and community engagement in a low-income TK-12 school site. Having better food distribution led to greater consumption of meals. This study used surveys, semi structured interviews, and plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycles for improvement and improved a partnership school community by ensuring all educational partners' voices were heard. Community engagement impacted our partnership philosophy.

description: Seismologist noticed are worsening of station quality after the installation of wind turbines (WTs) close to seismological stations. Since WTs and seismological stations are installed mostly in areas with low population density, both are looking for solutions to diminish this conflict. For this, we tested different denoising techniques at affected seismological stations to reduce or to eliminate the disturbing WT signal from the seismological data. Usually, spectral filtering is used to suppress noise in seismic data processing. However, this approach is not effective when noise and signal have overlapping frequency bands which is the case for WT noise. First, we applied a nonlinear thresholding function on our data. This method leads to good results when the event can be already seen in the raw data but it fails when the event is fully covered by noise. As a second method, we used a denoising autoencoder (DAE), which learns a sparse representation from time-frequency coefficients, and maps from there to output masking functions for signal and noise. The DAE is more time consuming in comparison to the nonlinear thresholding function but when the convolutional neural network is trained, using an adequate training dataset, it can also be applied instantly on the raw data. The DAE distinguishes between signal and noise and we are able to correct the seismograms from most of the disturbing noise signals.

description: Water ice covers the surface of various objects in the outer Solar system. Within the heliopause, surface ice is constantly bombarded and sputtered by energetic particles from the solar wind and magnetospheres. We report a laboratory investigation of the sputtering yield of water ice when irradiated at 10 K by 4 keV singly (13C+, N+, O+, Ar+) and doubly charged ions (13C2+, N2+, O2+). The experimental values for the sputtering yields are in good agreement with the prediction of a theoretical model. There is no significant difference in the yield for singly and doubly charged ions. Using these yields, we estimate the rate of water ice erosion in the outer Solar system objects due to solar wind sputtering. Temperature-programmed desorption of the ice after irradiation with 13C+ and 13C2+ demonstrated the formation of 13CO and 13CO2, with 13CO being the dominant formed species.

description: To date, information about collaborative networks of doctors and nurses in palliative care is still scarce, yet of great importance in revealing gaps in collaboration. This paper investigates the collaboration frequencies of medical doctors and nurses within, and across, different settings of palliative care. The study was based on a Swiss national survey on “Collaboration and cooperation in Palliative Care”. The subjects surveyed included service providers in the primary and specialized palliative care sectors, as well as support services (N=1111). Information about ties between providers was gathered by asking professionals to estimate the frequency of interaction with other professionals within the last year, on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. Social network analysis was used to assess the interaction patterns of nurses and doctors (N= 728) in primary and specialized care settings. Visual representations indicated that, contrary to primary care settings, healthcare providers in specialized care settings reported of numerous interactions with other professions. In primary care, general practitioners reported the least frequent interactions with other professions. Of all providers investigated, specialized doctors in hospitals and hospices reported the densest collaborative networks. Gaps regarding collaboration in Swiss palliative care provision were revealed. Based on the results of the study, recommendations on how to improve service quality by strengthening the interaction patterns of general practitioners, as well as community-based palliative care, are provided.

description: The time-window for processing electron spin information (spintronics) in solid-state quantum electronic devices is determined by the spin-lattice (T1) and spin-spin (T2) relaxation times of electrons. Minimising the effects of spin-orbit coupling and the local magnetic contributions of neighbouring atoms on T1 and T2 at room temperature remain substantial challenges to practical spintronics. Here, we report a record-high conduction electron T1=T2 of 175 ns at 300 K in 37 nm +/- 7 nm carbon spheres, which exceeds by far the highest values observed for any conducting solid state material of comparable size. The long T1=T2 is due to quantum confinement effects, to the intrinsically weak spin-orbit coupling of carbon, and to the protecting nature of the outer shells of the inner spins from the influences of environmental disturbances. Following the observation of spin polarization by electron spin resonance, we controlled the quantum state of the electron spin by applying short bursts of an oscillating magnetic field and observed coherent oscillations of the spin state. These results demonstrate the feasibility of operating electron spins in conducting carbon nanospheres as quantum bits at room temperature.

description: Through transport, compositional and structural studies, we review the features of the charge-density wave (CDW) conductor of NbS$_{3}$ (phase II). We highlight three central results: 1) In addition to the previously reported CDW transitions at $T_{P1}$ = 360\,K and $T_{P2}$ = 150\,K, another CDW transition occurs at a much higher temperature $T_{P0}$ = 620-650\,K; evidence for the non-linear conductivity of this CDW is presented. 2) We show that CDW associated with the $T_{P2}$ - transition arises from S vacancies acting as donors. Such a CDW transition has not been observed before. 3) We show exceptional coherence of the $T_{P1}$-CDW at room-temperature. Additionally, we report on the effects of uniaxial strain on the CDW transition temperatures and transport.

description: Domain walls in three-dimensional Weyl semimetals, formed by localized magnetic moments, are investigated. There appear bound states around the domain wall with the discrete spectrum, among which we find "Fermi arc" states with the linear dispersion. The Fermi arc modes contribute to the electric charge and current localized at the domain wall, which reveal a universal behavior depending only on chemical potential and the splitting of the Weyl nodes. This equilibrium current can be traced back to the chiral magnetic effect, or the edge counterpart of the anomalous Hall effect in the bulk. We propose a new way to manipulate the motion of the domain wall, accompanied with the localized charge, by applying an external electric field.

description: We generalize the recently developed inchworm quantum Monte Carlo method to the full Keldysh contour with forward, backward, and equilibrium branches to describe the dynamics of strongly correlated impurity problems with time dependent parameters. We introduce a method to compute Green's functions, spectral functions, and currents for inchworm Monte Carlo and show how systematic error assessments in real time can be obtained. We then illustrate the capabilities of the algorithm with a study of the behavior of quantum impurities after an instantaneous voltage quench from a thermal equilibrium state.
Assessment of Knowledge and Practice of Essential Newborn Care and Associated Factors Among Nurses and Midwives Working at Health Centers in Jimma Zone, Oromia Regional State, South West of Ethiopia, 2016

description: Background- In Ethiopia, institutionalization of deliveries are happening at a fast pace. Assessing the knowledge and practice of midwives and nurses in these institutions is a priority in this current scenario. The initial adaptations by the baby at the time of birth should be facilitated by the midwives by giving essential newborn care. Therefore, this study is aimed to identify whether there is knowledge and performance gap on essential newborn care among the study participants. Objective- The objective of this study was to assess knowledge and practice of essential newborn care and associated factors among Nurses and midwives working at health centers of Jimma Zone. Methods- Quantitative cross-sectional facility based study design was conducted on midwives and nurses working at health centers of Jimma Zone. Simple random sampling method was used to select the estimated 279 study participants from those who provides delivery and neonatal care. Self-administer questionnaires was distributed to participants to collect data and facilitated by data collectors. The data was entered to EpiData Manager and exported to statistical package for social sciences version 20 and analyzed. Finally, the results was illustrated in the form of text, tables and graphs. Results-The mean knowledge score of study participants was 23.27 out of the 35 points. The study revealed that 52.2% and 47.8% of the respondents had good and poor knowledge about essential newborn care respectively. The mean score of practice of essential newborn care was 32.82 out of the total 48 points and 51.1% and 48.9% of the respondents had good and poor level of practice respectively. Field of study, educational level, interest to work in delivery room, in-service training were significantly associated with level of essential newborn care practice. Conclusion and recommendation- Even though the study population had good knowledge and practice of essential newborn care in general, they had poor knowledge and practice on some components of essential newborn care. Level of education, interest to work in delivery room, in- service training on newborn care and level of knowledge were found to be independent predictors of practice. Hence, strengthening of practical based in-service training and areas those should be emphasized, priority should be given for those trained to give delivery and newborn care service, and incorporation of all components of essential newborn care in curriculum were recommended. Key words-knowledge, practice, essential newborn care, midwives, nurses

description: We construct a new class of 4-dimensional z=2 Lifshitz black branes that have a nonzero linear momentum. These are solutions of an Einstein-Proca-dilaton model that can be obtained by Scherk-Schwarz circle reduction of AdS_5 gravity coupled to a free real scalar field. The boundary of a bulk Lifshitz space-time is a Newton-Cartan geometry. We show that the fluid dual to the moving Lifshitz black brane leads to a novel form of Lifshitz hydrodynamics on a Newton-Cartan space-time. Since the linear momentum of the black brane cannot be obtained by a boost transformation the velocity of the fluid or rather, by boundary rotational invariance, its magnitude plays the role of a chemical potential. The conjugate dual variable is mass density. The Lifshitz perfect fluid can be thought of as arising from a Schroedinger perfect fluid with broken particle number symmetry.

title:  On What Remains of a Life. Of Biography Writing and Its Significance

description: Le riflessioni trattano sulle relazioni fra letteratura, biografismo e antropologia filosofica. Il genere biografico risponde ad una delle questioni principali dell’antropologia filosofica: che cosa fa l’uomo in cambio non potendo evitare la propria finitezza? L’uomo si racconta o racconta l’altro provando a rimanere nella memoria umana. La narrazione dell’esistenza si collega con la questione di identità e autoconoscenza. Il racconto biografico si dirama tra la letteratura e la ricerca scientifica, soprattutto di carattere storico e sociale. Il genere si sviluppa con cambiamenti storici, nel modernismo possiamo osservare il suo trionfo.  Per riflettere perché nel modernismo il genere diventato così importante riflessioni pongono l’accento su due questioni: il rapporto tra letteratura e biografismo, e il suo significato per le ricerche antropologiche.

Biography writing seems a response to a central question of philosophical anthropology: What does a person do when they are unable to escape their finitude? They speak of their life or the life of others, trying to linger in human memory. Speaking of a life is joined to a question of identity and self-recognition. Biography writing covers a vast territory, stretching across literature, film, and scholarly studies, mainly historical and social. It has undergone historical shifts, gaining a new status in the modern world. These deliberations orbit around two questions: the ties between literature and biography writing and the history and ways of presenting a human life. A person, who will always be more what happens to them than what they do, remains a homo absconditus in biography writing. Yet tales of human fates allow us to better understand the human condition.

description: Automation of alignment tasks can provide improved efficiency and greatly increase the flexibility of an optical system. Current optical systems with automated alignment capabilities are typically designed to include a dedicated wavefront sensor. Here, we demonstrate a self-aligning method for a reconfigurable system using only focal plane images. We define a two lens optical system with eight degrees of freedom. Images are simulated given misalignment parameters using ZEMAX software. We perform a principal component analysis (PCA) on the simulated dataset to obtain Karhunen-Loève (KL) modes, which form the basis set whose weights are the system measurements. A model function which maps the state to the measurement is learned using nonlinear least squares fitting and serves as the measurement function for the nonlinear estimator (Extended and Unscented Kalman filters) used to calculate control inputs to align the system. We present and discuss both simulated and experimental results of the full system in operation.

description: The study sought to determine the Balanced Scorecard measures on supply chain performance at Cadilla Pharmaceutical PLC. The objectives of the study were to establish the extent to which the BSC measures have been used at Cadilla Pharmaceutical in measuring their supply chain performance and to validate the result using customer/distributors survey. The research design involved were descriptive and inferential explanatory design, supported by thematic analysis. Data were collected from 125 Cadilla employees using a questionnaire and interview guide that were administered to employees and conducted by researcher. Tables were used to present data. Descriptive statistics like mean and standard deviation were used to analyze demographic and each constructs under investigation, whereas inferential statistics like regression analysis were used to measure the relationship between independent (BSC measures) and dependent (supply chain performance). The result of the study established that the BSC measures are greatly used to establish the supply chain performance at Cadilla Pharmaceuticals. Customer measures (b=0.371) has the most positive influential effect on supply chain performance, followed by , innovation, learning and growth, financial measures and internal business measures (b = 0.325, b = 0.292, and b = 0.245) respectively at p value <0.001. It was also found that there is a significant relationship between BSC measures and supply chain performance represented by R2 value of 0.811 which translates to 81.1% variance explained by the four independent variables of financial measures, customer satisfaction, internal business processes, learning and growth. The overall supply chain performance of Cadilla pharmaceutical from distributors perspective is moderate performance. But, in contrast to this there are problems related to product availability, on time delivery, communication systems, flexibility, after sale service and customer satisfaction survey from customer perspective. Therefore from the result it can be concluded that BSC measures at Cadilla pharmaceuticals is strongly affecting their supply chain performance. It was also recommended that the company should keep using BSC as performance measurements as holistic performance perspective in such a way that they can solve problems raised by distributors. Finally, based on the limitation of this study, further research can be done on a wider group of companies to establish whether the BSC measures are better in measuring Supply chain performance in pharmaceutical industry

description: We prove several theorems concerning the exceptional sets of Hilbert transform on the real line. In particular, it is proved that any null set is exceptional set for the Hibert transform of an indicator function. The paper also provides a real variable approach to the Kahane-Katsnelson theorem on divergence of Fourier series.

description: Emerging micropollutants such as lifestyle drugs, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in the aquatic environment. To counter possible threats posed by these pollutants, their transport behaviour needs to be thoroughly understood. In this study, 22 laboratory column transport experiments were conducted at selected pH and Na+ concentrations with natural quartz sand as sorbent to determine transport behaviour of the beta-blocker metoprolol (MTP, pKa=9.67) at various conditions. MTP breakthrough curves were measured at pH 3, 6, and 11, as well as NaCl concentrations of 1, 10, and 100 mM/l to account for coupled effects. The observed mean R ranges from R=1.04 (pH 11; 100 mM/l NaCl) to R=10.5 (pH 5.6; 1 mM/l NaCl). An ion exchange equation was used to model CEC and exchange coefficients of Na+, H+ and MTP using a least square refinement routine considering the whole dataset of 43 retardation values. With the model, a high R-regime at low cation concurrence (c(NaCl)~1 mM/l) and neutral pH (58.5 as a result of changing MTP speciation.

description: Künstliche Intelligenz und algorithmische Entscheidungssysteme sind keine übermächtigen, eigenständigen Maschinen, sondern Werkzeuge, die wir uns zunutze machen können. Verantwortungsvoll eingesetzt, bieten sie ganz konkrete Chancen. Doch sie bringen auch nicht zu unterschätzende Herausforderungen mit sich. Um die Potenziale von KI zu nutzen und den Problematiken zu begegnen, braucht es Kompetenzen. Das gilt auch für die öffentliche Verwaltung.

Die Kompetenzen werden in der Breite der Verwaltung gebraucht und nicht nur auf den höheren Dienstebenen, auf die die meisten der bestehenden Aus- und Weiterbildungsangebote zu KI-Kompetenzen bisher abzielen (z. B. als Element einzelner Studiengänge oder Weiterbildungsangebote wie etwa des eGovCampus). Dies ist zum einen wichtig, um eine breite Akzeptanz für die Technologien zu schaffen. Zum anderen werden aber auch Sachbearbeiter:innen immer öfter zu Anwender:innen von KI und benötigen daher verschiedene Kompetenzen im konkreten Umgang mit den Systemen.

Mit dem vorliegenden Kompetenzraster wollen wir verdeutlichen, was sich hinter dem abstrakten Begriff „KI-Kompetenzen“ konkret verbirgt. Damit möchten wir einladen, sich mit dem Thema auseinanderzusetzen. Das Kompetenzraster bietet einen ersten Ausgangspunkt und Anstoß: Denn um an Kompetenzen zu arbeiten, muss zunächst einmal klar sein, welche KI-Kompetenzen im Verwaltungskontext überhaupt relevant sind.

description: Shape transformations in driven and damped molecular chains are considered. Closed chains of weakly coupled molecular subunits under the action of spatially homogeneous time-periodic external field are studied. The coupling between the internal excitations and the bending degrees of freedom of the chain modifies the local bending rigidity of the chain. In the absence of driving the array takes a circular shape. When the energy pumped into the system exceeds some critical value the chain undergoes a non-equilibrium phase transition: the circular shape of the aggregate becomes unstable and the chain takes the shape of an ellipse or, in general, of a polygon. The excitation energy distribution becomes spatially nonuniform: it localizes in such places where the chain is more flat. The weak interaction of the chain with a flat surface restricts the dynamics to a flat manifold
