description: The Dawson-type sulfate polyoxometalate (POM) [S2W18O62]4− has successfully been entrapped in polypyrrole (PPy) films on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surfaces through pyrrole electropolymerization. Films of varying POM loadings (i.e., thickness) were grown by chronocoulometry. Film-coated electrodes were then characterized using voltammetry, revealing POM surface coverages ranging from 1.9 to 11.7 × 10−9 mol·cm−2 , and were stable over 100 redox cycles. Typical film morphology and composition were revealed to be porous using atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the effects of this porosity on POM redox activity were probed using AC impedance. The hybrid organic− inorganic films exhibited a good electrocatalytic response toward the reduction of iodate with a sensitivity of 0.769 μA·cm−2 ·μM−1 .

description: A variety of new physics models predict heavy resonances that decay to multiple hadronic jets. These models include axigluons, colorons, diquarks, excited quarks, Randall-Sundrum gravitons, string resonances, and Z' models, among others. Other models make the prediction that high-pT jets will be suppressed, resulting in jet extinction. Using the data collected in 2012 at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, the CMS Collaboration has made a baseline inclusive jet cross section measurement for comparison with new-physics searches, and then performed searches for jet extinction and resonances that decay to two hadronic jets. The results of these searches will be presented. No evidence of new physics has been observed, and these results set new limits on the parameters of these models.

description: Pipizella neuphritica Rondani, 1868
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1868a: 34.
TYPE LOCALITY: “ in collibus agri lunensis [Lunigiana hills (Tuscany, Italy)]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (MZUF: Box 7): Pipizella Rndn. / nephritica [sic!] Rnd. / 327 / Lectotypus [not designated] Goeldlin desig. III.1976; 1 ♀, paralectotype (missing left mid-leg) (MZUF: Box 7): Pipizella Rndn. / nephritica [sic!] Rnd. / 327.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Trichopsomyia flavitarsis (Meigen, 1822) (Peck 1988: 92, Belcari et al. 1995a: 11).
REMARKS: Rondani (1868a: 34) described Pipizella neuphritica without specifying the number, the sex or the length of the specimens. Pierre Goeldlin de Tiefenau examined the MZUF type material in 1976, adding the label “ lectotypus ” under one male, without publishing any lectotype designation. We found two syntypes in this study. In order to promote nomenclatural stability, we give credit to P. Goeldlin de Tiefenau and here designate as a lectotype for Pipizella neuphritica Rondani, 1868 the male labeled as such by him.

description: The aim of this paper consists of identifying the specific nature of the phenomenon “female gaze” by discussing several topics from the study area of feminist aesthetics. It is shown that the predominance of the male perspective in the media makes modern society less tolerant towards gender equality, and, at the same time, the patriarchal society imposes gender-stereotyped values. On the one hand, mass media has the power to promote values due to its performativity, but on the other, it can contribute to the destabilization of the established social stereotypes due to the phenomenon of remediation. Besides, mass media can intra-act with the society, which results in the reconstitution of society’s agential reality.

description: Flux ropes are twisted magnetic structures, which can be detected by in situ measurements in the solar wind. However, different properties of detected flux ropes suggest different types of flux-rope population. As such, are there different populations of flux ropes? The answer is positive, and is the result of the analysis of four lists of flux ropes, including magnetic clouds (MCs), observed at 1 AU. The in situ data for the four lists have been fitted with the same cylindrical force-free field model, which provides an estimation of the local flux-rope parameters such as its radius and orientation. Since the flux-rope distributions have a large dynamic range, we go beyond a simple histogram analysis by developing a partition technique that uniformly distributes the statistical fluctuations over the radius range. By doing so, we find that small flux ropes with radius R<0.1 AU have a steep power-law distribution in contrast to the larger flux ropes (identified as MCs), which have a Gaussian-like distribution. Next, from four CME catalogs, we estimate the expected flux-rope frequency per year at 1 AU. We find that the predicted numbers are similar to the frequencies of MCs observed in situ. However, we also find that small flux ropes are at least ten times too abundant to correspond to CMEs, even to narrow ones. Investigating the different possible scenarios for the origin of those small flux ropes, we conclude that these twisted structures can be formed by blowout jets in the low corona or in coronal streamers.

description: Pipizella sculpeonata Rondani, 1865
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1865a: 139.
TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but presumably it is Italy because the work deals with Italian species.
TYPE MATERIAL: not found in this study. See Remarks.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Heringia heringii (Zetterstedt, 1843) (Peck 1988: 83); junior synonym of Trichopsomyia flavitarsis (Meigen, 1822) (Claussen et al. 1994: 324).
REMARKS: Rondani (1865a: 139) described Pipizella sculpeonata from just the female sex, without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens. We were unable to locate any type material of this nominal species in our study. Goeldlin de Tiefenau (in Claussen et al. 1994: 324) incorrectly designated a male numbered “330” in the MZUF (Box 7) as lectotype. A MZUF female numbered “330” and labeled “Asch [1]870.6” is not included in the type series because it was collected at Asch [= Aš, Czech Republic] by F. Kowarz and later donated to Rondani (Claussen & Thomson 1996: 280).

description: We present a subgrid model for supernova feedback designed for cosmological simulations of galaxy formation that may include a cold interstellar medium (ISM). The model uses thermal and kinetic channels of energy injection, which are built upon the stochastic kinetic and thermal models for stellar feedback used in the OWLS and EAGLE simulations, respectively. In the thermal channel, the energy is distributed statistically isotropically and injected stochastically in large amounts per event, which minimizes spurious radiative energy losses. In the kinetic channel, we inject the energy in small portions by kicking gas particles in pairs in opposite directions. The implementation of kinetic feedback is designed to conserve energy, linear and angular momentum, and is statistically isotropic. To test the model, we run simulations of isolated Milky Way-mass and dwarf galaxies, in which the gas is allowed to cool down to 10 K. Using the thermal and kinetic channels together, we obtain smooth star formation histories and powerful galactic winds with realistic mass loading factors. Furthermore, the model produces spatially resolved star formation rates (SFRs) and velocity dispersions that are in agreement with observations. We vary the numerical resolution by several orders of magnitude and find excellent convergence of the global SFRs and wind mass loading. We show that large thermal-energy injections generate a hot phase of the ISM and modulate the star formation by ejecting gas from the disc, while the low-energy kicks increase the turbulent velocity dispersion in the neutral ISM, which in turn helps suppress star formation.

Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)

description: This work presents a gradient index device for insulating from vibrations a circular area of a thin plate. The gradient of the refractive index is achieved by locally changing the thickness of the plate, exploiting in this way the thickness-dependence of the dispersion relation of flexural waves in thin plates. A well-like thickness profile in an annular region of the plate is used to mimic the combination of an attractive and repulsive potentials, focusing waves at its bottom and dissipating them by means of a properly designed absorptive layer placed on top of the plate. The central area is therefore isolated from vibrations while they are dissipated at the bottom of the well. Simulations have been done using the multilayer multiple scattering method and the results prove their broadband efficiency and omnidirectional properties.

description: This article proposes to conceptualize the public sphere as a dynamic network of actors and contents that are linked with each other by communicative actions. This perspective allows us to theoretically derive and empirically describe the entire range of small to large network structures and their evolution over time. First, we will define the elements of these networks, which include the actors, content, communicative actions, and content relations. Based on these entities, four communicative roles (producer, recipient, curator, isolate) will be distinguished. Second, we will summarize how these actors perceive the communicative situation and how they select from behavioral options. Third, we will show how this combines with the network dynamics and outcomes that are discussed in the different lines of research. This provides not only the basis for understanding the link between the communicative actions on the micro-level and macro-level structures, but also new avenues for normative discussions.

description: A general framework for age-structured predator-prey systems is introduced. Individuals are distinguished into two classes, juveniles and adults, and several possible interactions are considered. The initial system of partial differential equations is reduced to a system of (neutral) delay differential equations with one or two delays. Thanks to this approach, physically correct models for predator-prey with delay are provided. Previous models are considered and analysed in view of the above results. A Rosenzweig-MacArthur model with delay is presented as an example.

description: Motivation Deep learning has moved to the forefront of tandem mass spectrometry-driven proteomics and authentic prediction for peptide fragmentation is more feasible than ever. Still, at this point spectral prediction is mainly used to validate database search results or for confined search spaces. Fully predicted spectral libraries have not yet been efficiently adapted to large search space problems that often occur in metaproteomics or proteogenomics. Results In this study, we showcase a workflow that uses Prosit for spectral library predictions on two common metaproteomes and implement an indexing and search algorithm, Mistle, to efficiently identify experimental mass spectra within the library. Hence, the workflow emulates a classic protein sequence database search with protein digestion but builds a searchable index from spectral predictions as an in-between step. We compare Mistle to popular search engines, both on a spectral and database search level, and provide evidence that this approach is more accurate than a database search using MSFragger. Mistle outperforms other spectral library search engines in terms of run time and proves to be extremely memory efficient with a 4- to 22-fold decrease in RAM usage. This makes Mistle universally applicable to large search spaces, e.g. covering comprehensive sequence databases of diverse microbiomes.

description: Algebraic and geometric mean density of states in disordered systems may reveal properties of electronic localization. In order to understand the topological phases with disorder in two dimensions, we present the calculated density of states for disordered Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model. The topological phase is characterized by a perfectly quantized conducting plateau, carried by helical edge states, in a two-terminal setup. In the presence of disorder, the bulk of the topological phase is either a band insulator or an Anderson insulator. Both of them can protect edge states from backscattering. The topological phases are explicitly distinguished as topological band insulator or topological Anderson insulator from the ratio of the algebraic mean density of states to the geometric mean density of states. The calculation reveals that topological Anderson insulator can be induced by disorders from either a topologically trivial band insulator or a topologically nontrivial band insulator.

Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2022

description: This research investigates the relationship between disasters, migration, and resulting social change in southwest coastal Bangladesh. The focus is on individual households' adaptation strategies in the aftermath of cyclones. Migration is understood here in the context of Cyclone Sidr (2007) and Cyclone Aila (2009), and is defined as the temporary or even permanent migration of at least one family member in search of better economic opportunities. The corresponding social change for the affected households, their home locations, and their new locations is described as an outcome of their migration. The research results are based on field surveys that were conducted in 2009 and 2010 with 1,555 respondents from 45 villages in southwest coastal Bangladesh, as well as on additional qualitative interviews. Thefindings show that after the phasing out of emergency aid, male members of a significant number of households started moving to neighboring cities. These migration patterns were then related to the distribution of income and assets at the community level.

Trade Unions, NGOs, and Transnationalization
Creators: name: Fink, Elisabeth
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2022

description: The recent factory collapse in Bangladesh raises questions about the promotion and protection of workers' rights and about the relevant actors who support workers' interests. As trade unionism in the Bangladeshi ready-made garment (RMG) sector is very weak, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) recently turned to the factories to provide support. Simultaneously, reports about poor working conditions have increasingly gained the attention of international labor organizations as well as transnational civil-society actors. This paper aims to show the effects of this transnationalization process. It particularly focuses on the issues of workers organization and mobilization as well as on the relation of trade unions and NGOs since these are influenced by international collaboration most of all. Given the high percentage of women workers in the RMG sector and the common stereotyped portrayal of the "Third World woman", it further evaluates the gendered implications of transnational support. The article will demonstrate that transnationalization is a highly ambivalent process which, on one hand, provides resources and windows of opportunity for trade unions that can be useful regarding the realization of the right to freedom of association. On the other hand, however, these processes further undermine trade unions' already weak position in the RMG sector.

description: This article looks at some aspects of the contemporary leisure culture of middle-class children in Kolkata, based on interviews conducted with the current generation of children and two older cohorts — in the main their parents and grandparents. It argues that although this leisure culture has been influenced by globalization — particularly by the so-called “mediatization” of childhood — the historical context of a region is crucial to understanding the contemporary leisure culture. The article attempts to substantiate this assumption of specific historical contexts informing contemporary children’s cultures by exploring the present landscape of popular children’s culture in West Bengal, and thereafter relating it to some of the values that are integral to a “good childhood” in the Bhadralok imagination. Against this backdrop, the relationship between a leisure culture and the changing contours of childhood is also addressed.

description: We systematically investigated the low-temperature transport properties of a series of NbN epitaxial films with thickness $t$ ranging from $\sim$2.0 to $\sim$4.0 nm. The films undergo a superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) with decreasing film thickness, and the critical sheet resistance for the SIT is close to the quantum resistance of Cooper pairs $h/4e^2$ (6.45 k$Ω$). Besides the Berezinski-Koterlitz-Thouless transition, a magnetic-field-driven SIT is observed in those two-dimensional (2D) superconducting films (2.6 nm $\lesssim t \lesssim 4.0$ nm). Interestingly, it is found that the low-temperature magnetoresistance isotherms do not cross at a single fixed point but at a well-distinguished region for these superconducting films. The dynamical critical exponent obtained by analyzing these magnetoresistance isotherms is divergent as the quantum critical point is being approached. The behavior of the dynamical critical exponent, originating from quenched disorder at ultralow temperatures, provides direct evidence for the occurrence of quantum Griffiths singularity in the quantum phase transition process of the films. The field-driven anomalous metal (quantum metal) state does not appear in these films. Our results suggest that the quantum Griffiths singularity not only occurs in the highly crystalline 2D superconductors with superconductor-metal transition but also in those with SIT.

description: We select a sample of nearby Ultraluminous X-ray sources with long XMM-Newton observations and analyse all the available XMM-Newton data using both X-ray spectral fitting techniques and hardness-intensity diagrams. The sample includes IC 342 X-1, NGC 5204 X-1, NGC 5408 X-1, Holmberg IX X-1, Holmberg II X-1, NGC 1313 X-1, NGC 1313 X-2 and NGC 253 X-1. We found that, although a common reference model can be used to describe the X-ray spectra, the sources show different spectral evolutions, phenomenologically described in terms of variations in the properties of a soft component and a high energy tail. Variations at low energies are accounted for (mostly) by changes in the normalization of the soft component and/or in the column density to the source, while variations in the high energy tail by changes in the parameters of an optically thick corona. This spectral variability is rather well characterized on a colour-colour and hardness-intensity diagram in terms of suitably defined hardness ratios. We suggest the existence of a variability pattern on the hardness-intensity diagram and we interpret it in terms of the switch between a near-Eddington and a super-Eddington accretion regime. The transition between the two regimes seems to be driven mostly by changes in the contribution of the soft component, which can be explained in terms of the increasing importance of wind emission. The analysis is complemented by an investigation of the short-term time variability of all the sources. In general, no clear correlation between the spectral and temporal properties is found.

description: I give a review of the development of the concept of dark matter. The dark matter story passed through several stages from a minor observational puzzle to a major challenge for theory of elementary particles. Modern data suggest that dark matter is the dominant matter component in the Universe, and that it consists of some unknown non-baryonic particles. Dark matter is the dominant matter component in the Universe, thus properties of dark matter particles determine the structure of the cosmic web.

The improved experimental scheme allows us to control the preparation and teleportation of a state over the entire Bloch sphere with a resolution of the degree of mixture given by the coherence length of the photon pair. Both the preparation of the input state and the implementation of the quantum gates are performed in a pair of chained displaced Sagnac interferometers, which contribute to the overall robustness of the setup. An average fidelity above 0.9 is obtained for the remote state preparation process. This scheme allows for a prepared state to be transmitted on every repetition of the experiment, thus giving an intrinsic success probability of 1.

description: Iran in terms of architectural culture - urbanization and the wealth of its valuable historical works, without a doubt, is one of world's most significant countries, works that must be very well maintained. One of the major issues in current architecture and urbanization of a country is the preservation of its urban spaces and ancient historical architecture and the different viewpoints on how to preserve these spaces and valuable old buildings. Since these works represent the historical identity of their own time, we should diligently preserve and protect these structures as symbols of national culture and the bond between yesterday, today and the future generations. In this study, which is based on archival and fieldwork research, the role and importance of pilgrimage mausoleums, and the physical changes resulting from their repair or restoration on shaping the urban spaces will be examined and evaluated.

description: Finite-size effects arise when a sample of particles is not sufficient to provide a statistically satisfactory description of the bulk environment of a physical system. As a consequence, a reliable estimate of finite-size effects in many-particle systems is key to judge the validity of a theoretical model or the accuracy of a numerical simulation. In this context, we propose the use of a theorem on the free-energy cost for separating a system into smaller independent subsystems [J. Stat. Mech.: Theory Exp. (2017) 083201; Lett. Math. Phys. 112, 97 (2022)] to estimate the relevance of finite-size effects in thermodynamic quantities from computer simulations. The key aspect of this study is that for two-body potentials, as mostly occurring in physics, the method requires only two-body distribution functions and the particle number density. The calculation of the involved physical quantities can be done numerically on a three-dimensional grid. In some cases even analytical estimates are possible and as an example the uniform interacting electron gas in the ground state is considered; we derive an approximating scaling law for the finite-size effects.

description: By measuring relative earthquake arrival times using waveform cross correlation and locating earthquakes using the double difference technique, we are able to reduce hypocentral errors by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude over routine locations for nearly 8000 events along a 35-km section of the Calaveras Fault. This represents ∼92% of all seismicity since 1984 and includes the rupture zone of the M 6.2 1984 Morgan Hill, California, earthquake. The relocated seismicity forms highly organized structures that were previously obscured by location errors. There are abundant repeating earthquake sequences as well as linear clusters of earthquakes. Large voids in seismicity appear with dimensions of kilometers that have been aseismic over the 30-year time interval, suggesting that these portions of the fault are either locked or creeping. The area of greatest slip in the Morgan Hill main shock coincides with the most prominent of these voids, suggesting that this part of the fault may be locked between large earthquakes. We find that the Calaveras Fault at depth is extremely thin, with an average upper bound on fault zone width of 75 m. Given the location error, however, this width is not resolvably different from zero. The relocations reveal active secondary faults, which we use to solve for the stress field in the immediate vicinity of the Calaveras Fault. We find that the maximum compressive stress is at a high angle, only 13° from the fault normal, supporting previous interpretations that this fault is weak.

description: We analyze the multifrequency behavior of the quasar 3C 454.3 during three prominent γ-ray outbursts: 2009 Autumn, 2010 Spring, and 2010 Autumn. The data reveal a repeating pattern, including a triple flare structure, in the properties of each γ-ray outburst, which implies similar mechanism(s) and location for all three events. The multi-frequency behavior indicates that the lower frequency events are co-spatial with the γ-ray outbursts, although the γ-ray emission varies on the shortest timescales. We determine that the variability from UV to IR wavelengths during an outburst results from a single synchrotron component whose properties do not change significantly over the different outbursts. Despite a general increase in the degree of optical linear polarization during an outburst, the polarization drops significantly at the peak of the γ-ray event, which suggests that both shocks and turbulent processes are involved. We detect two disturbances (knots) with superluminal apparent speeds in the parsec-scale jet associated with the outbursts in 2009 Autumn and 2010 Autumn. The kinematic properties of the knots can explain the difference in amplitudes of the γ-ray events, while their millimeter-wave polarization is related to the optical polarization during the outbursts. We interpret the multi-frequency behavior within models involving either a system of standing conical shocks or magnetic reconnection events located in the parsec-scale millimeter-wave core of the jet. We argue that γ-ray outbursts with variability timescales as short as ~ 3 hr can occur on parsec scales if flares take place in localized regions such as turbulent cells.

Breaking the Cage

description: This article provides an analysis of Imlande barigamahila (“A Bengali Woman in England”), a travelogue written in the 19th century by a Bengali woman named Krishnabhabini Das (1868-1919). Despite being the most well-documented travelogue written at that time by an Indian woman, it was eventually forgotten until its recent rediscovery. The travelogue is a unique document authored by a woman in the colonial period in terms of its detail, exploration, and documentation of the socio-cultural aspects of English society. It is also an outstanding example of the ideas educated Bengalis had about England at that time. Moreover, the gendered perspective which this travelogue offers is a bright stroke of color on the variegated canvas of Indian/Bengali travel writing on imperial Britain.

description: In this study, we determined partition (Ksc/m) and diffusion (Dsc) coefficients of five different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) migrating from squalane into and through the stratum corneum (s.c.) layer of the skin. Carcinogenic PAH have previously been detected in numerous polymer-based consumer products, especially those dyed with carbon black. Upon dermal contact with these products, PAH may penetrate into and through the viable layers of the skin by passing the s.c. and thus may become bioavailable. Squalane, a frequent ingredient in cosmetics, has also been used as a polymer surrogate matrix in previous studies. Ksc/m and Dsc are relevant parameters for risk assessment because they allow estimating the potential of a substance to become bioavailable upon dermal exposure. We developed an analytical method involving incubation of pigskin with naphthalene, anthracene, pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene and dibenzo[a,h]pyrene in Franz diffusion cell assays under quasi-infinite dose conditions. PAH were subsequently quantified within individual s.c. layers by gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. The resulting PAH depth profiles in the s.c. were fitted to a solution of Fick’s second law of diffusion, yielding Ksc/m and Dsc. The decadic logarithm logKsc/m ranged from −0.43 to +0.69 and showed a trend to higher values for PAH with higher molecular masses. Dsc, on the other hand, was similar for the four higher molecular mass PAH but about 4.6-fold lower than for naphthalene. Moreover, our data suggests that the s.c./viable epidermis boundary layer represents the most relevant barrier for the skin penetration of higher molecular mass PAH. Finally, we empirically derived a mathematical description of the concentration depth profiles that better fits our data. We correlated the resulting parameters to substance specific constants such as the logarithmic octanol-water partition coefficient logP, Ksc/m and the removal rate at the s.c./viable epidermis boundary layer.
