description: The inclusion of a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya short range antisymmetric interaction induces spontaneous magnetization, at nonzero temperatures, in one and two dimensions. It is shown that quantum fluctuations are reduced by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, but short range correlations are increased, thereby allowing to obtain long range magnetic order in these low dimensional systems.

description: We experimentally demonstrate ultrafast dynamic of generation of a strong 337-nm nitrogen laser by injecting an external seed pulse into a femtosecond laser filament pumped by a circularly polarized laser pulse. In the pump-probe scheme, it is revealed that the population inversion between the excited and ground states of N2 for the free-space 337-nm laser is firstly built up on the timescale of several picoseconds, followed by a relatively slow decay on the timescale of tens of picoseconds, depending on the nitrogen gas pressure. By measuring the intensities of 337-nm signal from nitrogen gas mixed with different concentrations of oxygen gas, it is also found that oxygen molecules have a significant quenching effect on the nitrogen laser signal. Our experimental observations agree with the picture of electron-impact excitation.

description: We present early results of a transit injection and recovery simulation using data from the Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES), a near-infrared search for short-period transiting planets and moons around a sample of 393 spectroscopically confirmed L- and T-type dwarfs. We describe a custom detection algorithm that we designed to identify single transit events in sparsely sampled PINES data. We used this algorithm to search for candidate transits in 130 PINES light curves, and identified one candidate event in the light curve of PINES Object of Interest 1 (POI-1). If this event was caused by a planetary companion, POI-1 b would have a radius of 4–6 REarth, and it would represent the first detection of a transiting planet orbiting a brown dwarf host. We will present the follow-up observations that we have performed for POI-1, which, to date, have not detected a repeat transit event. We will also present early results from an injection and recovery simulation that we have performed with PINES data using Kepler M dwarf planet occurrence rates. With this simulation, we will address how likely it is that we would detect a candidate like POI-1 in our data set under the assumption that L and T dwarfs host a population of short-period planets with the same occurrence rates as M dwarfs.

description: We study the sensitivity of the Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) at the India-Based Neutrino Observatory (INO) to Lorentz and CPT violation in the neutrino sector. Its ability to identify the charge of muons in addition to their direction and energy makes ICAL a useful tool in putting constraints on these fundamental symmetries. Using resolution, efficiencies, errors and uncertainties obtained from ICAL detector simulations, we determine sensitivities to $δ{b}_{31}$, which parametizes the violations in the muon neutrino sector. We carry out calculations for three generic cases representing mixing in the CPT violating part of the hamiltonian, specifically, when the mixing is 1) small, 2) large, 3) the same as that in the PMNS matrix. We find that for both types of hierarchy, ICAL at INO should be sensitive to $δ{b}_{31}$ $\gtrsim$ $4\times10^{-23}$ GeV at 99% C.L. for 500 kt-yr exposure, unless the mixing in the CPT violation sector is small.

description: Purpose: Neurotypical individuals show a robust “global precedence effect (GPE)” when processing hierarchically structured visual information. However, the auditory domain remains understudied. The current research serves to fill the knowledge gap on auditory global–local processing across the broader autism phenotype under the tonal language background.Method: This study examined auditory global–local processing styles in 37 Mandarin-speaking young adults (age: M = 20.35, SD = 2.32; 19 males) with varying autistic traits. The participants were required to judge global and local pitch structures in nine-tone melodies with both congruent and incongruent conditions under both directed attention and divided attention modes.Results: We found that GPE persisted independent of the attention modes during hierarchical processing. Autistic traits were among the potential contributors that reshaped GPE in auditory global–local processing under a tonal language background.Conclusions: Our study provides an initial investigation into auditory global–local processing among Mandarin-speaking individuals across a range of autistic traits, revealing the presence of the GPE effect during hierarchical pitch structure processing. The advantage of global processing versus local processing expanded with increasing autistic traits, providing further support for the notion that auditory global processing may remain intact in autism and the broader phenotype. We highlight that GPE is a process of coarse-to-fine integration of sensory perception and cognitive feedback iteration, which both top-down and bottom-up processes wield influence on. These findings have implications for the study of atypical auditory processing in autism and may help to refine the early diagnosis and auditory-based intervention for autism.Supplemental Material S1.

description: The controlled and reversible interconversion between the free-base and the doubly dehydrogenated form of a 5,10,15,20-tetra(p-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin molecule in an ordered array is demonstrated. This is achieved through voltage pulses by hydrogen transfer between the center of the porphyrin and the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The local dehydrogenation leads to significant shifts in the energetic positions of the molecular orbitals. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations corroborate our conclusions and allow to gain more insight into the different energy level alignment before and after dehydrogenation. Due to the different conductance at a given voltage a clear distinction of both molecular species is possible, which also enables the application as a single-molecular switch.

description: Reference Service enables libraries to provide information to a person who needs it, either directly from an appropriate source, or indirectly by providing the person with the source or teaching him how to find the needed information in the sources. With new technologies, users' information seeking behaviour (ISB) along with their expectations from the reference service has witnessed a sea change, which motivate the Librarians to embrace the Internet as an appropriate medium for information exchange, communication, and instruction, including both synchronous and asynchronous tools and played a pivotal role in transforming the in-person desk-based TRS to VRS. Libraries in India by-and-large have implemented ILMS (e.g. RFID) for their automation but the status of VRS adoption in the Indian context is scarce barring a few cases wherein libraries are providing reference service through email or web-form (asynchronous). Thus, in the light of the above facts the present study has been planned by the researcher as a meaningful understanding and deliberate investigation pertaining to the domain of VRS. The study result reveals that although, VRS was not being offered by almost all of the libraries and Synchronous VRS (SVRS) was offered by none of the libraries under the study. It is clear from the result that the college libraries of NorthWestern India cater to the need of a heterogeneous user community as the institutions belonging to a wide variety of disciplines, enables the researcher to capture a wide range of perspectives relating to the status of VRS. Again from the study we can infer that the libraries were having basic ICT infrastructure thus making a case for implementing VRS without significant expenditure, which can resolve the shortage of sufficient staff of the libraries in near future.

description: Background According to data gathered in the NHANES 1999 survey 14% of American children are now classified as obese, a 60% increase in prevalence from the NHANES II survey in 1976. Multiple research studies have looked at the role of dietary intake, heredity, and physical activity participation as independent risk factors of obesity with mixed results. However, sedentary behavior patterns, which have markedly increased in the past ten years, have not been extensively studied in relation to childhood obesity. The goal of this study was to focus on the relationship between various sedentary behaviors and childhood obesity.

Methods Two descriptive questionnaires and a food frequency questionnaire were used to gather data on 9-12 year old adolescents from Navy families in the Hampton Roads area. The questionnaires gathered data on hours and days spent in physical and sedentary activity, dietary intake, demographics, anthropometric data of both the child and parents, and parental exercise involvement with the child. A 101 total surveys were collected and used for analysis. Data were examined for frequency distributions and percentages as well as bi- and multi-variate relationship analysis of the independent variables to childhood obesity.

Results Using the 95th percentile as a minimum on the new pediatric growth charts, 39.8% of children were categorized as obese based on their BMI. Associations were found between childhood obesity and total time spent on the computer per week day, total time spent watching television per week day, total hours per day in sedentary behavior, maternal BMI, and if both parents are obese. Significant trends with childhood obesity were also shown if a parent was home when the child got home from school and number of hours per week the father exercises with the child. Kappa analysis revealed a strong correlation between parent and child responses in the areas of sedentary behavior patterns, dietary intake, and perception of physical activity level. Using a multi-variate model it was found that the largest independent risk factor of childhood obesity was maternal BMI. Total time spent in sedentary behavior was the second largest risk factor with a strong trend. Father's BMI, total caloric intake, total time spent in physical activity, and demographic data showed no significant relationship with child's body mass index.

Conclusions Childhood obesity is a major problem among adolescents of Navy personnel. The present study shows that the strongest risk factors among these children are maternal body mass index and time spent in sedentary behaviors. Development of educational and intervention programs for this population should therefore focus on parental involvement and methods to decrease sedentary lifestyle habits.

description: We study the question of existence of positive steady states of nonlinear evolution equations. We recast the steady state equation in the form of eigenvalue problems for a parametrised family of unbounded linear operators, which are generators of strongly continuous semigroups; and a fixed point problem. In case of irreducible governing semigroups we consider evolution equations with non-monotone nonlinearities of dimension two, and we establish a new fixed point theorem for set-valued maps. In case of reducible governing semigroups we establish results for monotone nonlinearities of any finite dimension $n$. In addition, we establish a non-quasinilpotency result for a class of strictly positive operators, which are neither irreducible nor compact, in general. We illustrate our theoretical results with examples of partial differential equations arising in structured population dynamics. In particular, we establish existence of positive steady states of a size-structured juvenile-adult and a structured consumer-resource population model, as well as for a selection-mutation model with distributed recruitment process.

description: Recommender systems have gained increasing attention to personalise consumer preferences. While these systems have primarily focused on applications such as advertisement recommendations (e.g., Google), personalized suggestions (e.g., Netflix and Spotify), and retail selection (e.g., Amazon), there is potential for these systems to benefit from a more global, socio-economic, and culturally aware approach, particularly as companies seek to expand into diverse markets. This thesis aims to investigate the potential of a recommender system that considers cultural identity and socio-economic factors. We review the most recent developments in recommender systems and explore the impact of cultural identity and socio-economic factors on consumer preferences. We then propose an ontology and approach for incorporating these factors into recommender systems. To illustrate the potential of our approach, we present a scenario in consumer subscription plan selection within the entertainment industry. We argue that existing recommender systems have limited ability to precisely understand user preferences due to a lack of awareness of socio-economic factors and cultural identity. They also fail to update recommendations in response to changing socio-economic conditions. We explore various machine learning models and develop a final artificial neural network model (ANN) that addresses this gap. We evaluate the effectiveness of socio-economic and culturally aware recommender systems across four dimensions: Precision, Accuracy, F1, and Recall. We find that a highly tuned ANN model incorporating domain-specific data, select cultural indices and relevant socio-economic factors predicts user preference in subscriptions with an accuracy of 95%, a precision of 94%, a F1 Score of 92%, and a Recall of 90%.

description: It was recently shown that the energy resolution of Ce-doped LaBr$_3$ scintillator radiation detectors can be crucially improved by co-doping with Sr, Ca, or Ba. Here we outline a mechanism for this enhancement on the basis of electronic structure calculations. We show that (i) Br vacancies are the primary electron traps during the initial stage of thermalization of hot carriers, prior to hole capture by Ce dopants; (ii) isolated Br vacancies are associated with deep levels; (iii) Sr doping increases the Br vacancy concentration by several orders of magnitude; (iv) $\text{Sr}_\text{La}$ binds to $V_\text{Br}$ resulting in a stable neutral complex; and (v) association with Sr causes the deep vacancy level to move toward the conduction band edge. The latter is essential for reducing the effective carrier density available for Auger quenching during thermalization of hot carriers. Subsequent de-trapping of electrons from $\text{Sr}_\text{La}-V_\text{La}$ complexes then can activate Ce dopants that have previously captured a hole leading to luminescence. This mechanism implies an overall reduction of Auger quenching of free carriers, which is expected to improve the linearity of the photon light yield with respect to the energy of incident electron or photon.

The general objective implied factors affecting financial and performance audit quality in OFAG. The independent variables of audit quality are motivation, independence, training, auditor’s qualifications and proficiency, quality control and assurance, evidence and audit time budget. The study used descriptive and inferential statistics research design with mixed qualitative and quantitative methods where primary data was collected using Likert-scale questionnaires distributed and collected. A set of questionnaires was administered to 200 auditors out of the target population 400 auditors of OFAG in Addis Ababa, of whom 175 were responded. Secondary data was gathered from the office and different publications. Proportional stratified sampling technique has been used to analyze data collected through questionnaires of OFAG. Regression analysis was done to determine the relationship and the significance level of factors affecting towards audit quality. In general the respondents believe that audit quality in OFAG was low intention.
Graduate Voices: Exploring Numerate Professionals’ Mathematics Education Experiences and Challenges

description: Certain graduate professions require evidence of specific mathematics skills or components. For example, Teachers (QTS), Registered Nurses (NMC), Pharmacists (GPhC), Radiographers (SOR) and Psychologists (BPS). These professions represent successful outcomes for an educational trajectory and are in a minority as “numerate graduates” (Durrani and Tariq, 2012, p. 3). Nevertheless, a conundrum exists whereby members of these professions have had, or still have, difficulties with mathematics. This thesis explores the relationship with mathematics, and mathematics education, of eight such graduates who have been in their professions for more than five years. The participants’ demographic is under-represented in the literature and they are not involved, as stakeholders, in mathematics education. Hence, the study is framed as exploratory. An interpretivist approach to inquiry is adopted, utilising analysis of narrative methods to develop thematic networks. In-depth interviews, focused around the construction of a personal timeline (Adriansen, 2012) were used to facilitate the participants telling stories of their experience with mathematics. The inquiry is presented as being a valuable undertaking without pre-supposing what conclusions, if any, may be drawn. Two thematic networks are presented, entitled 'Purpose' and 'Identity' which are explored in relation to the participants' experiences and to relevant literature. Given the professional nature of this doctorate, literature is also reviewed which relates to the field of higher education mathematics support. The experiences related by the participants span many decades yet they have clear accord with one another and with current literature on mathematics education. It seems evident that disempowering and inequitable tendencies within mathematics education, and compulsory education particularly, seem to be 'sticky' in nature and seem to have been replicated, or preserved, over many years and in many contexts. From the analysis, participants' understanding of levels of difficulty within mathematics (the 'yard-stick' effect) together with the motivation to 'make amends' as well as their own conceptualisation of types of mathematics are emphasised. Furthermore, recommendations for practitioners are made regarding awareness of the imperfect nature of assessment and the need for learning to be meaningful.

Formation and post-formation dynamics of bacterial biofilm streamers as highly viscous liquid jets

description: It has been recently reported that in presence of low Reynolds number (Re<<1) transport, preformed bacterial biofilms, several hours after their formation, may degenerate in form of filamentous structures, known as streamers. In this letter, we explain that such streamers form as the highly viscous liquid states of the intrinsically viscoelastic biofilms. Such "viscous liquid" state can be hypothesized by noting that the time of appearance of the streamers is substantially larger than the viscoelastic relaxation time scale of the biofilms, and this appearance is explained by the inability of a viscous liquid to withstand an external shear. Further, by identifying the post formation dynamics of the streamers as that of a viscous liquid jet in a surrounding flow field, we can interpret several unexplained issues associated with the post-formation dynamics of streamers, such as the clogging of the flow passage or the exponential time growth of streamer dimensions.

description: Objective: The table is a summary of state-specific public health measures (from Jan 04 – Apr 17) in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in India to understand how outcomes vary across Indian states. Since the lockdowns in India were implemented in a phased manner, we map the number of COVID-19 status on:- March 24, 2020: To understand the implementation strategies before lockdown phase 1.
- May 03, 2020 (end of phase 2): To understand implementation strategies during lockdown phase 1.
Methods:- Data regarding state-specific measures was taken from government and non-profit websites as well as widely published measures from online print media articles.(1) These are divided into two categories – measures before lockdown (Jan 4 – March 24) and till the end of lockdown phase 1 (March 25 – April 17).- Data regarding COVID-19 status (confirmed cases and deaths) is also taken from public websites.(2)- For state characteristics, we include indicators like Area, Population, and the number of districts
Observations: - Large states usually have more districts (UP: 75, MP: 51, Bihar: 38), but is not always a function of area and/or population. For instance, Andhra Pradesh is 7th largest state by area but has 13 districts.(3)
- States vary in their topography and political geography. For instance, most south Indian, east Indian states run from north to south, whereas north Indian states are evenly spread and run from east to west.- States also vary in terms their borders with neighboring states. UP shares borders with 9 states while Maharashtra and Karnataka (six states), MP and Rajasthan (five states).
This does not determine direct causality but does explain the varied conditions in which disease transmission occurs and how implementation strategies are different across Indian states.

description: Magnetic shape memory Heusler alloys are multiferroics stabilized by the correlations between electronic, magnetic and structural order. To study these correlations we use time resolved x-ray diffraction and magneto-optical Kerr effect experiments to measure the laser induced dynamics in a Heusler alloy Ni$_2$MnGa film and reveal a set of timescales intrinsic to the system. We observe a coherent phonon which we identify as the amplitudon of the modulated structure and an ultrafast phase transition leading to a quenching of the incommensurate modulation within 300~fs with a recovery time of a few ps. The thermally driven martensitic transition to the high temperature cubic phase proceeds via nucleation within a few ps and domain growth limited by the speed of sound. The demagnetization time is 320~fs, which is comparable to the quenching of the structural modulation.

description: During meiosis, programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired by homologous recombination. DMC1, a conserved recombinase, plays a central role in this process. DMC1 promotes DNA strand exchange between homologous chromosomes, thus creating the physical linkage between them. Its function is regulated not only by several accessory proteins but also by bivalent ions. Here, we show that whereas calcium ions in the presence of ATP cause a conformational change within DMC1, stimulating its DNA binding andD-loop formation, they inhibit the extension of the invading strand within the D-loop. Based on structural studies, we have generated mutants of two highly conserved amino acids – E162 and D317 – in human DMC1, which are deficient in calcium regulation. In vivo studies of their yeast homologues further showed that they exhibit severe defects in meiosis, thus emphasizing the importance of calcium ions in the regulation of DMC1 function and meiotic recombination.

On the nature of kinetic electrostatic electron nonlinear (KEEN) waves

description: An analytical theory is proposed for the kinetic electrostatic electron nonlinear (KEEN) waves originally found in simulations by Afeyan et al [arXiv:1210.8105]. We suggest that KEEN waves represent saturated states of the negative mass instability (NMI) reported recently by Dodin et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 215006 (2013)]. Due to the NMI, trapped electrons form macroparticles that produce field oscillations at harmonics of the bounce frequency. At large enough amplitudes, these harmonics can phase-lock to the main wave and form stable nonlinear dissipationless structures that are nonstationary but otherwise similar to Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal modes. The theory explains why the formation of KEEN modes is sensitive to the excitation scenario and yields estimates that agree with the numerical results of Afeyan et al. A new type of KEEN wave may be possible at even larger amplitudes of the driving field than those used in simulations so far.

description: We review progress in the development and applications of superconducting metamaterials. The review is organized in terms of several distinct advantages and unique properties brought to the metamaterials field by superconductivity. These include the low-loss nature of the meta-atoms, their compact structure, their extraordinary degree of nonlinearity and tunability, magnetic flux quantization and the Josephson effect, quantum effects in which photons interact with quantized energy levels in the meta-atom, as well as strong diamagnetism.

Linewidth of Power Spectrum Originated from Thermal Noise in Spin Torque Oscillator

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A theoretical formula of the linewidth caused by the thermal activation in a spin torque oscillator with a perpendicularly magnetized free layer and an in-plane magnetized pinned layer was developed by solving the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in the energy-phase representation. It is shown that the linewidth can be suppressed down to 0.1 MHz by applying a large current (10 mA for typical material parameters). A quality factor larger than 10^{4} is predicted in the large current limit, which is two orders of magnitude larger than the recently observed experimental value.

description: We investigate the origin of galaxy bimodality by quantifying the relative role of intrinsic and environmental drivers to the cessation (or `quenching') of star formation in over half a million local Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxies. Our sample contains a wide variety of galaxies at z=0.02-0.2, with stellar masses of 8 < log(M*/M_sun) < 12, spanning the entire morphological range from pure disks to spheroids, and over four orders of magnitude in local galaxy density and halo mass. We utilise published star formation rates and add to this recent GIM2D photometric and stellar mass bulge + disk decompositions from our group. We find that the passive fraction of galaxies increases steeply with stellar mass, halo mass, and bulge mass, with a less steep dependence on local galaxy density and bulge-to-total stellar mass ratio (B/T). At fixed internal properties, we find that central and satellite galaxies have different passive fraction relationships. For centrals, we conclude that there is less variation in the passive fraction at a fixed bulge mass, than for any other variable, including total stellar mass, halo mass, and B/T. This implies that the quenching mechanism must be most tightly coupled to the bulge. We argue that radio-mode AGN feedback offers the most plausible explanation of the observed trends.

Understanding youth tennis players' psychological development through critical realism and action research

description: Although youth athletes’ psychological development is increasingly understood as an important social phenomenon, it has typically been studied through relatively narrow theoretical lenses. To understand and improve psychological development from a holistic perspective (i.e., one that considers the wide ranging relational systems in which processes are embedded) this thesis draws on the philosophy of critical realism: an approach that facilitates the in-depth exploration of complex social phenomena. After engaging in a two-part systematic review that clarified the psychological terms and frameworks offered in the talent development literature, a four-phased action research study was conducted in one successful English tennis club. A fifteen-month immersion approach was taken that allowed for the development of authentic relationships with eleven youth athletes (aged 8-16 years), fifteen parents, and three coaches. Data was collected through observations, field notes, informal chats, formal interviews, athlete and coach workshops, and athlete-tasks. Findings highlight the key contextual factors that penetrated athletes’ micro- to macro-system (action research phase 1), as well as the underlying causal powers of this system (action research phase 2), that impacted upon athletes’ psychological development. Nine specific mechanisms were identified that triggered athletes’ development of a series of psychological outcomes. Mechanisms were plagued by a reactive common sense nature, which impeded the psychological development of athletes. The behaviour was underpinned by a lack of capability and opportunities that taught, particularly coaches and parents, the knowledge and skills necessary to foster athletes’ psychological development in a systematic and proactive way. After implementing targeted athlete and coach psychological workshops (action research phase 3) and evaluating the effects of my time at the club (action research phase 4), improvements in coaches’ and athletes’ capability to use and develop psychological skills and characteristics more consistently and explicitly were identified. Based on the findings, short- and long-term recommendations that call for the prioritisation of youth athletes’ psychological development were offered for sport psychology practitioners, researchers, and National Governing Bodies. Finally, the thesis outlines the potential of critical realism as a novel and valuable underpinning framework for sport psychology and talent development research and the creation and evaluation of interventions.

The dual model for an Ising model with nearest and next-nearest neighbors

description: We construct and analyse a dual model to the Ising model with the nearest and next-nearest neighbors on the rectangular lattice (NNNI model). The Hamiltonian of the dual model turns out to contain two- and four-spin interactions. The free fermion approximation suggests that an increase in the critical temperature of the dual model caused by the four-spin interactions is limited to a finite range.

description: We inserted non-magnetic layers of Au and Cu into sputtered AlOx-based magnetic tunnel junctions and Meservey-Tedrow junctions in order to study their effect on tunnelling magnetoresistance (TMR) and spin polarization (TSP). When either Au or Cu are inserted into a Co/AlOx interface, we find that TMR and TSP remain finite and measurable for thicknesses up to several nanometres. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows that the Cu and Au interface layers are fully continuous when their thickness exceeds ~3 nm, implying that spin-polarized carriers penetrate the interface noble metal to dis- tances exceeding this value. A power law model based on exchange scattering is found to fit the data better than a phenomenological exponential decay. The discrepancy between these length scales and the much shorter ones reported from x-ray magnetic circular dichroism studies of magnetic proximitization is ascribed to the fact that our tunnelling transport measurements selectively probe s-like electrons close to the Fermi level. When a 0.1 nm thick Cu or Au layer is inserted within the Co, we find that the suppression of TMR and TSP is restored on a length scale of <=1 nm, indicating that this is a sufficient quantity of Co to form a fully spin-polarized band structure at the interface with the tunnel barrier.
