description: We report a method to promote photoluminescence emission in graphene materials by enhancing carrier scattering instead of directly modifying band structure in multilayer reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanospheres. We intentionally curl graphene layers to form nanospheres by reducing graphene oxide with spherical polymer templates to manipulate the carrier scattering. These nanospheres produce hot-carrier luminescence with more than ten-fold improvement of emission efficiency as compared to planar nanosheets. With increasing excitation power, hot-carrier luminescence from nanospheres exhibits abnormal spectral redshift with dynamic feature associated to the strengthened electron-phonon coupling. These experimental results can be well understood by considering the screened Coulomb interactions. With increasing carrier density, the reduced screening effect promotes carrier scattering which enhances hot-carrier emission from such multilayer rGO nanospheres. This carrier-scattering scenario is further confirmed by pump-probe measurements.

description: A shape phase transition between stable octupole deformation and octupole vibrations in Th nuclei is analyzed in a microscopic framework based on nuclear density functional theory. The relativistic functional DD-PC1 is used to calculate axially-symmetric quadrupole-octupole constrained energy surfaces. Observables related to order parameters are computed using an interacting-boson Hamiltonian, with parameters determined by mapping the microscopic energy surfaces to the expectation value of the Hamiltonian in the boson condensate. The systematics of constrained energy surfaces and low-energy excitation spectra point to the occurrence of a phase transition between octupole-deformed shapes and shapes characterized by octupole-soft potentials.

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Although sheets of layered van der Waals solids offer great opportunities to custom-design nanomaterial properties, their weak interlayer adhesion challenges structural stability against mechanical deformation. Here, bending-induced delamination of multilayer sheets is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations, using graphene as an archetypal van der Waals solid. Simulations show that delamination of a graphene sheet occurs when its radius of curvature decreases roughly below $R_c=5.3\text{nm}\times (\text{number of layers})^{3/2}$ and that, as a rule, one-third of the layers get delaminated. These clear results are explained by a general and transparent model, a useful future reference for guiding the design of nanostructured van der Waals solids.

description: The location of Brønsted-acid sites (bridging OH groups, b-OH) at different crystallographic positions of zeolite catalysts influences their reactivity due to varying confinement. Selecting the most stable b-OH conformers at each of the 12 T-sites (T=Si/Al) of H-MFI, a representative set of 26 conformers is obtained which includes free b-OH groups pointing into the empty pore space and b-OH groups forming H-bonds across five- or six-membered rings of TO4 tetrahedra. Chemically accurate coupled-cluster-quality calculations for periodic models show that the strength of internal H-bonds and, hence, the OH bond length vary substantially with the framework position. For 11 of the 19 H-bonded b-OH groups examined, our predictions fall into the full width at half maximum range of the experimental signals at 3250±175 cm−1 and 7.0±1.4 ppm which supports previously debated assignments of these signals to H-bonded b-OH sites.

description: Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes in elderly patients (age ≥ 65 years) undergoing robotic colorectal surgery (RCRS) in comparison with non‐elderly patients. Materials and Methods: Data was collected on elderly and non‐elderly patients who underwent RCRS from a prospectively maintained database. Results: A total of 89 elderly and 73 non‐elderly patients were identified. No statistically significant differences in postoperative complication, reoperation, wound infection, anastomotic leak or mortality were observed. The median length of staywas 1 day longer in elderly patients (p = 0.007). Subgroup analysis of octogenarians demonstrated outcomes that compared favourably with younger patients. Conclusion: RCRS in elderly patients is safe and effective, with outcomes that do not differ significantly with younger patients. Older age should not be considered to be a specific exclusion criteria for RCRS. To our knowledge, this study represents the largest in the literature to examine outcomes specifically in elderly patients undergoing RCRS.

description: The dynamics of the high-inclination Plutinos is systematically studied. We first present the peculiar features of the 2:3 Neptune mean motion resonance (NMMR) for inclined orbits, especially for the correlation of resonant amplitude A_σ with inclination i. Using the numerical integrations for the age of the Solar system, the dynamical structure of the 2:3 NMMR is mapped out on the plane of semi-major axis versus i for different eccentricities. We have shown that i of stable resonant orbits could be as high as 90 deg; and the stable region is roughly surrounded by the contours of A_σ = 120 deg. These new findings allow us to further explore the 2:3 NMMR capture and retention of planetesimals with initial inclinations i0 =< 90 deg in the frame of the planet migration model. We find that the outward transportation of Plutinos is possible for any inclined or even perpendicular orbits. The role of i0 in the formation of Plutinos during Neptune's migration is highlighted and interesting results are obtained: (1) The capture efficiency of the 2:3 NMMR decreases drastically first with the increase of i0, but it then raises instead when i0 exceeds ~ 50 deg; (2) The magnitude of i-variation is limited to less than 5 deg for any i0, and moreover, for Plutinos with i > 48 deg, their i are forced to decrease throughout the outward migration; (3) Plutinos with i > 48 deg are certainly outside the Kozai mechanism, since an inclination increase is prohibited by the migrating 2:3 NMMR; (4) The 7:11 inclination-type NMMR could be responsible for nearly-circular Plutinos, and a minimum i0 ~ 15 deg is required to intrigue this mechanism.

description: We investigate trapping geometries for cold, neutral atoms that can be created in the evanescent field of a tapered optical fibre by combining the fundamental mode with one of the next lowest possible modes, namely the HE21 mode. Counter propagating red-detuned HE21 modes are combined with a blue-detuned HE11 fundamental mode to form a potential in the shape of four intertwined spirals. By changing the polar- ization from circular to linear in each of the two counter-propagating HE21 modes simultaneously the 4-helix configuration can be transformed into a lattice configuration. The modification to the 4-helix configuration due to unwanted excitation of the the T E01 and T M01 modes is also discussed.

description: A search for the electroweak production of charginos and sleptons decaying into final states with two electrons or muons is presented. The analysis is based on 139.0 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. Three R-parity conserving scenarios where the lightest neutralino is the lightest supersymmetric particle are considered: the production of chargino pairs with decays via either W bosons or sleptons, and the direct production of slepton pairs. The analysis is optimised to target the first of these scenarios, but its results are also interpreted in the other ones. No significant deviations from the Standard Model expectations are observed and stringent limits at 95% confidence level are set on the masses of relevant supersymmetric particles in each of these scenarios. For a massless lightest neutralino, masses up to 420 GeV are excluded for the production of the lightest chargino pairs assuming W boson mediated decays and up to 1 TeV for slepton mediated decays, whereas for slepton-pair production masses up to 700 GeV are excluded assuming three generations of mass-degenerate sleptons.

description: Introduction: Visceral leishmaniasis causes alterations of lipid metabolism and associated with hypochlesterolemia and severe hypertriglyceridemia. Hepatic dysfunction and life threating hepatitis is associated with visceral leishmaniasis. Kidney damage is frequently associated with increased morbidity and mortality in visceral leishmaniasis patients. However there is no published data on the effect of visceral leishmaniasis to kidney, liver, and lipid profiles in Ethiopia particularly in the study area.

Objective: To assess selected clinical chemistry test alterations and associated risk factors among visceral leishmaniasis patients attending at Kahsay Abera and Mearg Hospitals Western Tigrai, Northern Ethiopia from November 2018 -March 2019.

Method: Institutional based comparative cross sectional study was conducted from November 2018 to March 2019 in Kahsay Abera and Mearg Hospitals, Western Tigrai, Northern Ethiopia. A total of 100 visceral leishmaniasis patients and 100 control groups working in Kahsay Abera and Mearg Hospitals without visceral leishmaniasis were selected by using convenient sampling techniques. The samples were processed and analysed by Mindray 200E automated clinical chemistry analyzer. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS Version 23. Descrpptive satatisticss, independent-test, binary logistic regressions were used for data analysis. P values < 0.05 were considerd as statistically significant at 95% confidence level.

description: The understanding of the accelerated expansion of the Universe poses one of the most fundamental questions in physics and cosmology today. Whether or not the acceleration is driven by some form of dark energy, and in the absence of a well-based theory to interpret the observations, many models have been proposed to solve this problem, both in the context of General Relativity and alternative theories of gravity. Actually, a further possibility to investigate the nature of dark energy lies in measuring the dark energy equation of state (EOS), w, and its time (or redshift) dependence at high accuracy. However, since w(z) is not directly accessible to measurement, reconstruction methods are needed to extract it reliably from observations. Here we investigate different models of dark energy, described through several parametrizations of the EOS. Our high-redshift analysis is based on the Union2 Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) data set, the Hubble diagram constructed from some Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) luminosity distance indicators, and Gaussian priors on the distance from the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), and the Hubble constant h (these priors have been included in order to help break the degeneracies among model parameters). To perform our statistical analysis and to explore the probability distributions of the EOS parameters we use the Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method (MCMC). It turns out that the dark energy equation of state is evolving for all the parametrizations that we considered. We finally compare our results with the ones obtained by previous cosmographic analysis performed on the same astronomical datasets, showing that the latter ones are sufficient to test and compare the new parametrizations.

description: Macroscopic fluctuation theory has shown that a wide class of non-equilibrium stochastic dynamical systems obey a large deviation principle, but except for a few one-dimensional examples these large deviation principles are in general not known in closed form. We consider the problem of constructing successive approximations to an (unknown) large deviation functional and show that the non-equilibrium probability distribution the takes a Gibbs-Boltzmann form with a set of auxiliary (non-physical) energy functions. The expectation values of these auxiliary energy functions and their conjugate quantities satisfy a closed system of equations which can imply a considerable reduction of dimensionality of the dynamics. We show that the accuracy of the approximations can be tested self-consistently without solving the full non- equilibrium equations. We test the general procedure on the simple model problem of a relaxing 1D Ising chain.

description: Magnetic reconnection associated to the double tearing mode (DTM) is investigated by means of resistive relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (RRMHD) simulations. A linearly unstable double current sheet system in two dimensional cartesian geometry is considered. For initial perturbations of large enough longitudinal wavelengths, a fast reconnection event is triggered by a secondary instability that is structurally driven by the nonlinear evolution of the magnetic islands. The latter reconnection phase and time scale appear to weakly depend on the plasma resistivity and magnetization parameter. We discuss the possible role of such explosive reconnection dynamics to explain the MeV flares observed in the Crab pulsar nebula. Indeed the time scale and the critical minimum wavelength give constraints on the Lorentz factor of the striped wind and on the location of the emission region respectively.

description: A probable solution of the cosmological constant problem was recently found. We propose that dark energy of the Universe is vacuum energy. Our Universe during its expansion is spending its vacuum energy for creation of new quantum states, but in the quantum regime phase transitions were more effective in reducing the vacuum energy than creation of new quantum states. Here we show how the 123 crisis orders of the vacuum energy are reduced by conventional physical processes in both the quantum and classical regimes of the Universe evolution. Numeral estimates of dark energy evolution are also presented.

This enables a proposed highly functional and versatile stacked switch architecture, where 40 independent 1 × 12 WSSs can be realised on a single 4k LCOS device.

La privacy by design: un'analisi comparata nell'era digitale

description: The Digital Age brings along some relevant changes for lawyers and jurists. As a matter of fact, modern technologies invention and their diffusion cause specific requirements in order to protect the right of privacy because of the huge collection of individual?s information. Today, the concept of privacy is changing: the right to be let alone evolves in personal data protection. The aim of this thesis is to propose and explain the innovative approach of privacy by design. This new methodology for privacy protection may be an efficient solution for technologies challenges and may increase law enforcement. The starting point is certainly the law and his power to conform technology with the regulative system. Privacy by design approach has as a goal to design and develop a system, a product or a service in a way that supports and materializes privacy principles, rules and values. Privacy measures are embedded into the design and the architecture of ICT systems and business practices. Privacy by design is characterized by proactive technical and organizational measures in time for preventing privacy infractions in each situation and for better safeguarding data collection and data security. The concept requires more respect for user privacy, keeping it central. The idea of privacy by design arose in Canada thanks to the Commissioner Ann Cavoukian and then became an international principle for privacy protection. It is even used by Federal Trade Commission and Canadians Commissioners in few procedures. Nowadays some norms explicitly require privacy by design; this is the case of the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union published in 2016. The main goal of this work is to analyze the principle in a critical, comparative and interdisciplinary way, considering the historical point of view, the regulatory interventions and the case law. The analysis might be useful for understanding and implementing the approach in more countries, taking into account the benefits and the level of criticality. It is necessary to give some guidelines for the real implementation of privacy by design, looking at the future, and to find a norm that can be applied all over the word; in fact, it is urgent to find a global solution for privacy concerns. Privacy by design won?t be the unique solution for privacy protection, but it will be essential for his future. This principle will safeguard better individual rights through a coherent and whole method. Designing privacy-friendly the technology means guarantee the other fundamental rights even more

Según Fenger (2014) algunos de los contaminantes del aire que se puede encontrar es el dióxido de nitrógeno (NO2) donde la mayor parte tiene su origen en la oxidación del óxido de nítrico (NO) que se produce en la combustión de los motores de los vehículos, el material particulado con diámetro aerodinámico menor a 10 µm (PM10) es una mezcla de partículas sólidas y gotas líquidas que se encuentran en el aire. En efecto, la contaminación atmosférica urbana aumenta el riesgo de padecer enfermedades respiratorias agudas, como la neumonía, y crónicas, como el cáncer del pulmón y las enfermedades cardiovasculares.

description: Swarm techniques have largely been used to investigate electron transport in very dilute gases in order to shed light on the electron-atom (molecule) scattering cross section and, hence, on the interaction potential. The theoretical basis for the analysis of these experiments is classical Kinetic Theory. However, electron transport in dense media, either in gaseous- or condensed phase, is a physical phenomenon of fundamental and practical interest. Dense rare gases are model systems for disordered media. They are particularly well suited to investigate how the dynamics and energetics of quasifree electrons change as the environment density is gradually increased. A review on the electron swarm experiments in dense rare gases is presented here.

description: We study the impact of collisionally inhomogeneous binary and three body interaction on Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of a dilute gas in a bichromatic optical lattice. We observe that the localized matter wave density which decreases after the introduction of repulsive spatially inhomogeneous binary interaction can be sustained by the addition of constant attractive binary strength in equal amounts. If the balance between repulsive spatially inhomogeneous binary interaction and constant attractive interaction is disturbed, the condensates collapse. Reversal of sign of interaction ensures the longevity of BECs. Any imbalance between attractive spatially inhomogeneous interaction and constant repulsive interaction either results in the collapse of BECs or in the occupation of the condensates at multiple sites on either sides. The introduction of a weak three body interaction in phase with the binary interaction increases the extent of instability of BECs. Reversing the sign of spatially inhomogeneous and constant interaction enhances the stability of BECs.

description: Questo saggio paragona la rappresentazione del campo di sterminio in due drammi: quello di Charlotte Delbo ( "Qui rapportera ces paroles ?") e quello di Jorge Semprun ("Le Retour de Carola Neher"). Per J. Semprun, il dramma degli Europei, pi� che il dramma dell'uomo universale, si legge nel fatto che i due totalitarismi europei del ventesimo secolo non hanno impedito nuovi massacri in Bosnia; per C. Delbo, il campo di sterminio esige di interrogare i comportamenti degli individui e le relazioni tra le persone.

description: A collection of interdisciplinary essays by thirteen international scholars in Canadian studies, this volume explores adaptation process and practice from synchronic and diachronic perspectives. These contributions critically analyze linguistic and textual dynamics across genres (opera, poems, short stories, novels, TV series, films, picture books) adopting a broad range of methodological frameworks and tools. They examine the adaptation of stories alongside stories of adaptation, exposing many facets of complex issues such as identity, agency, culture, space, and time. Attention is also devoted to how different media (e.g. books, TV, digital devices) and modes (e.g. writing, music, images) affect the codification, transcodification, and decodification of Canadian narratives. The authors convincingly argue that, when stories move and change, they emotionally and cognitively engage and transform readers, listeners, spectators, audiences ? all of us.

description: In this thesis, we mainly focus on image generation. However, one can still observe unsatisfying results produced by existing state-of-the-art methods. To address this limitation and further improve the quality of generated images, we propose a few novel models. The image generation task can be roughly divided into three subtasks, i.e., person image generation, scene image generation, and cross-modal translation. Person image generation can be further divided into three subtasks, namely, hand gesture generation, facial expression generation, and person pose generation. Meanwhile, scene image generation can be further divided into two subtasks, i.e., cross-view image translation and semantic image synthesis. For each task, we have proposed the corresponding solution. Specifically, for hand gesture generation, we have proposed the GestureGAN framework. For facial expression generation, we have proposed the Cycle-in-Cycle GAN (C2GAN) framework. For person pose generation, we have proposed the XingGAN and BiGraphGAN frameworks. For cross-view image translation, we have proposed the SelectionGAN framework. For semantic image synthesis, we have proposed the Local and Global GAN (LGGAN), EdgeGAN, and Dual Attention GAN (DAGAN) frameworks. Although each method was originally proposed for a certain task, we later discovered that each method is universal and can be used to solve different tasks. For instance, GestureGAN can be used to solve both hand gesture generation and cross-view image translation tasks. C2GAN can be used to solve facial expression generation, person pose generation, hand gesture generation, and cross-view image translation. SelectionGAN can be used to solve cross-view image translation, facial expression generation, person pose generation, hand gesture generation, and semantic image synthesis. Moreover, we explore cross-modal translation and propose a novel DanceGAN for audio-to-video translation.
An algorithm for calculating steady state probabilities of $M|E_r|c|K$ queueing systems

description: This paper presents a method for calculating steady state probabilities of $M|E_r|c|K$ queueing systems. The infinitesimal generator matrix is used to define all possible states in the system and their transition probabilities. While this matrix can be written down immediately for many other $M|PH|c|K$ queueing systems with phase-type service times (e.g. Coxian, Hypoexponential, \ldots), it requires a more careful analysis for systems with Erlangian service times. The constructed matrix may then be used to calculate steady state probabilities using an iterative algorithm. The resulting steady state probabilities can be used to calculate various performance measures, e.g. the average queue length. Additionally, computational issues of the implementation are discussed and an example from the field of telecommunication call-center queue length will be outlined to substantiate the applicability of these efforts. In the appendix, tables of the average queueing length given a specific number of service channels, traffic density, and system size are presented.

description: This work is based on the framework proposed by Conrad (1997) to determine the optimal timing of an investment or policy to slow global warming. While Conrad formulated the problem as a stopping rule option pricing model, we treat the policy decision by considering the total damage function that enables us to make some interesting extensions to the original formulation. We show that Conrad's framework is equivalent to minmization of the expected value of the damage function under the stochastic optimal stopping rule. We extend Conrad's model by allowing for policy cost to grow with time. In addition to closed form solution, we also perform Monte Carlo simulations to find the distribution for the total damage and show that at higher quantiles the damage may become too large and so is the risk on the global economy. We also show that the decision to take action largely depends on the cost of the action. For example, in the case of model parameters calibrated as in Conrad (1997) with a constant cost, there is a rather long wait before the action is expected to be taken, but if the cost increases with the same rate as the global economy growth, then action has to be taken immediately to minimize the damage.
Full counting statistics of a single-molecular quantum dot

description: We investigate the full counting statistics of a single quantum dot strongly coupled to a local phonon and weakly tunnel-connected to two metallic electrodes. By employing the generalized nonequilibrium Green function method and the Lang-Firsov transformation, we derive an explicit analytical formula for the cumulant generating function, which makes one to be able to identify distinctly the elastic and inelastic contributions to the current and zero-frequency shot noise. We find that at zero temperature, the inelastic effect causes upward steps in the current and downward jumps in the noise at the bias voltages corresponding to the opening of the inelastic channels, which are ascribed to the vibration-induced complex dependences of electronic self-energies on the energy and bias voltage. More interestingly, the Fano factor exhibits oscillatory behavior with increasing bias voltage and its minimum value is observed to be smaller than one half.

description: The Generalized Coherent State Model, proposed previously for a unified description of magnetic and electric collective properties of nuclear systems, is extended to account for the chiral like properties of nuclear systems. To a phenomenological core described by the GCSM a set of interacting particles are coupled. Among the particle-core states one identifies a finite set which have the property that the angular momenta carried by the proton and neutron quadrupole bosons and the particles respectively, are mutually orthogonal. All terms of the model Hamiltonian satisfy the chiral symmetry except for the spin-spin interaction. The magnetic properties of the particle-core states, where the three mentioned angular momenta are orthogonal, are studied. A quantitative comparison of these features with the similar properties of states, where the three angular momenta belong to the same plane, is performed.

description: It has been well established that single layer MX2 (M=Mo,W and X=S,Se) are direct gap semiconductors with band edges coinciding at the K point in contrast to their indirect gap multilayer counterparts. In few-layer MX2, there are two valleys along the Γ-K line with similar energy. There is little understanding on which of the two valleys forms the conduction band minimum (CBM) in this thickness regime. We investigate the conduction band valley structure in few-layer MX2 by examining the temperature-dependent shift of indirect exciton PL. Hihgly anisotropic thermal expansion of the lattice and corresponding evolution of the band structure result in distinct peak shift for indirect transitions involving the K and Λ (midpoint along Γ-K) valleys. We identify the origin of the indirect emission and concurrently determine the relative energy of these valleys. Our results show that the two valleys compete in energy in few-layer WSe2.
