description: Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), called as bone cement, has been used in implant surgery, initially in dental practices, then in arthroplasty surgery for decades. Bone cement is a highly preferred chemical in the field of orthopedics due to its bone-like hardness and mechanical strength. Meanwhile, antibiotic-loaded cements are used in joints and similar surgeries are generally due to the risk of infection. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the effects of borate mineral loading into bone cement on enhancing the antibacterial resistivity and cell integration as well as retaining mechanical properties. Moreover, the incorporation of minerals into bone cements makes them much more cost-friendly biomaterials for surgical operations. Herein, antibacterial properties were evaluated by using vancomycin- and gentamycin-susceptible strains of Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus whereas cell viability tests were performed by osteoblast cell lines. Three sets of the bone cements, plain, calcium borate-, and sodium borate-loaded, were prepared through commercial procedures and subjected to mechanical, antibacterial and cell viability tests. Percentage deformation determined by compression tests under 0.100 MPa pressure was determined in the range of 12.58%–10.67% in respect to the amount of sodium borate mineral loaded whereas that was determined in the range of 12.54%–9.87% in respect to the amount of calcium borate mineral loaded. Micro-CT results also supported good mineral integration and structural features of the composite bone cements. Furthermore, mineral incorporation enhanced the cell viability, in other words, cellular integrity, up to 101.28% for sodium borate-loaded (NB75, 7.5 g mineral) and 72.04% for calcium borate-loaded (CB75, 7.5 g mineral) bone cement according to the negative control group, fresh culture medium. As a conclusion, both of these minerals could be classified as promising alternatives for developing bone cements with better antibacterial resistivity and cellular integration properties.

description: We investigate the critical behavior of the gauged NJL model (QED plus 4-fermion interaction) and the gauged Yukawa model by use of the inversion method. By calculating the gauge-invariant chiral condensate in the inversion method to the lowest order, we derive the critical line which separates the spontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking phase from the chiral symmetric one. The critical exponent for the chiral order parameter associated with the second order chiral phase transition is shown to take the mean-field value together with possible logarithmic correction to the mean-field prediction. All the above results are gauge-parameter independent and are compared with the previous results obtained from the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the fermion propagator.

description: Industrial additive manufacturing technologies enable the production of highly complex components and openup new options for customised series production. Both in Germany and worldwide, most industries are still at an early stage of tapping the manifold application potentials of additive manufacturing. Compared to other countries worldwide, Germany’s strength lies primarily on the side of developers, whereas the user side rather shows some deficiencies. This is why the major challenge for the years to come is to broaden the industrial user base in Germany. Overcoming non-technical barriers that often impede the introduction of additive manufacturing technologies represents a key factor in this respect – particularly for small and medium-sized companies. So far, with regard to the existing funding activities which are mainly focusing on technological development goals, only little consideration is given to non-technical fields of innovation. In order to optimally interlink the innovation process with society’s needs, research on economic and social issues associated with additive manufacturing should be strengthened.

description: The accumulation of impurities in the core of magnetically confined plasmas, resulting from standard collisional transport mechanisms, is a known threat to their performance as fusion energy sources. Whilst the axisymmetric tokamak systems have been shown to benefit from the effect of temperature screening, that is an outward flux of impurities driven by the temperature gradient, impurity accumulation in stellarators was thought to be inevitable, driven robustly by the inward pointing electric field characteristic of hot fusion plasmas. We have shown in Helander et. al. (2017b) that such screening can in principle also appear in stellarators, in the experimentally relevant mixed collisionality regime, where a highly collisional impurity species is present in a low collisionality bulk plasma. Details of the analytic calculation are presented here, along with the effect of the impurity on the bulk ion flow, which will ultimately affect the bulk contribution to the bootstrap current.

description: This paper describes autonomous racing of RC race cars based on mathematical optimization. Using a dynamical model of the vehicle, control inputs are computed by receding horizon based controllers, where the objective is to maximize progress on the track subject to the requirement of staying on the track and avoiding opponents. Two different control formulations are presented. The first controller employs a two-level structure, consisting of a path planner and a nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) for tracking. The second controller combines both tasks in one nonlinear optimization problem (NLP) following the ideas of contouring control. Linear time varying models obtained by linearization are used to build local approximations of the control NLPs in the form of convex quadratic programs (QPs) at each sampling time. The resulting QPs have a typical MPC structure and can be solved in the range of milliseconds by recent structure exploiting solvers, which is key to the real-time feasibility of the overall control scheme. Obstacle avoidance is incorporated by means of a high-level corridor planner based on dynamic programming, which generates convex constraints for the controllers according to the current position of opponents and the track layout. The control performance is investigated experimentally using 1:43 scale RC race cars, driven at speeds of more than 3 m/s and in operating regions with saturated rear tire forces (drifting). The algorithms run at 50 Hz sampling rate on embedded computing platforms, demonstrating the real-time feasibility and high performance of optimization-based approaches for autonomous racing.

description: Here we propose literature about the Dies Natalis of the Roman colony Iulia Augusta Numidica Simitthensium, that is Simitthus, today Chemtou, Tunisia. The Dies Natalis of the colony, founded by Augustus, was on November 27th. Moreover, we will show how literature, in particular Panegyrics, are giving us the Dies Natalis of Augusta Treverorum, today Trier. The Dies Natalis was on July 25th. This date clearly shows that there is no connection of the Dies Natalis with any supposed alignment of the decumanus, the main street of the town, with sunrise.

Using neutron powder diffraction and magnetization measurements up to 55 T, both compounds are found with a close magnetic ground state at low temperature and a similar magnetic behavior (but with a different energy scale), even though spin anisotropy and first neighbor exchange interactions are quite different. This magnetic behavior can be understood when considering the main four magnetic exchange interactions. Frustration mechanisms are then enlightened.

description: Integral and differential mass formulae of 4-dimensional stationary and axisymmetric Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton systems are derived. The total mass (energy) of these systems are expressed in terms of other physical quantities such as electric charge of the black hole suitably modified due to the existence of the dilaton field. It is shown that when we vary slightly the fields (metric of the spacetime $g_{μν}$, $U(1)-$gauge potential $A_μ$, and dilaton $ϕ$) in such a way as they obey classical equations of motion, the variation of the dilaton does not contribute explicitly to the variation of the total mass, but contributes only through the variation of the electric charge of the black hole.

description: We measure the frequency of bulk gas-stellar counterrotation in a sample of 67 galaxies drawn from the Nearby Field Galaxy Survey, a broadly representative survey of the local galaxy population down to M_B-15. We detect 4 counterrotators among 17 E/S0's with extended gas emission (24% +8 -6). In contrast, we find no clear examples of bulk counterrotation among 38 Sa-Sbc spirals, although one Sa does show peculiar gas kinematics. This result implies that, at 95% confidence, no more than 8% of Sa-Sbc spirals are bulk counterrotators. Among types Sc and later, we identify only one possible counterrotator, a Magellanic irregular. We use these results together with the physical properties of the counterrotators to constrain possible origins for this phenomenon.

description: Low-pressure gaseous TPCs are well suited detectors to correlate the directions of nuclear recoils to the galactic Dark Matter (DM) halo. Indeed, in addition to providing a measure of the energy deposition due to the elastic scattering of a DM particle on a nucleus in the target gas, they allow for the reconstruction of the track of the recoiling nucleus. In order to exclude the background events originating from radioactive decays on the surfaces of the detector materials within the drift volume, efforts are ongoing to precisely localize the track nuclear recoil in the drift volume along the axis perpendicular to the cathode plane. We report here the implementation of the measure of the signal induced on the cathode by the motion of the primary electrons toward the anode in a MIMAC chamber. As a validation, we performed an independent measurement of the drift velocity of the electrons in the considered gas mixture, correlating in time the cathode signal with the measure of the arrival times of the electrons on the anode.

description: In this paper we consider the age-related alterations of heart rate variability on the basis of the study of non-Markovian effects. The age dynamics of relaxation processes is quantitatively described by means of local relaxation parameters, calculated by the specific localization procedure. We offer a quantitative informational measure of non-Markovity to evaluate the change of statistical effects of memory. Local relaxation parameters for young and elderly people differ by 3.3 times, and quantitative measures of non-Markovity differ by 4.2 times. The comparison of quantitative parameters allows to draw conclusions about the reduction of relaxation rate with ageing and the higher degree of the Markovity of heart rate variability of elderly people.

Scatterplots with levels of IgG (log10MFI) to GST alone in the X-axis and to GST-fused proteins (orange) or proteins not fused to GST (green) in the Y-axis. Linear regression lines with 95% confidence intervals (in grey) and Spearman correlation coefficients (r2) for each antigen. Correlations between IgGs to RTS,S proteins and GST were high but similar between GST-fused (CSP NANP & C-terminus) and non GST-fused proteins (CSP full length and HBsAg). Antibody levels against the GST-fused CSPs (Y-axis value) were higher than to the GST alone (X-axis value). IgG levels to GST fusion proteins representing non-RTS,S antigens (e.g. EBA-175, MSP-2) were not correlated with IgG levels to GST alone. There were low antibody responses to these antigens while there was a higher signal to the GST alone. Overall, the patterns of correlations were similar between GST-fused and non-GST fused proteins. Responses to GST and to GST fusion proteins appeared to be independent.

description: Understanding the mechanisms leading to the formation and the propagation of traffic jams in large cities is of crucial importance for urban planning and traffic management. Many studies have already considered the emergence of traffic jams from the point of view of phase transitions, but mostly in simple geometries such as highways for example or in the framework of percolation where an external parameter is driving the transition. More generally, empirical evidence and characterization for a congestion transition in complex road networks are scarce, and here, we use traffic measures for Paris (France) during the period 2014–2018 for testing the existence of a jamming transition at the urban level. In particular, we show that the correlation function of delays due to congestion is a power law (with exponent η ≈ 0.4ξ

description: Any organization that will develop software is faced with a difficult choice of choosing the right software development method. Whereas the software development methods used, play a significant role in the overall software development process. Software development methods are needed so that the software development process can be systematic so that it is not only completed within the right time frame but also must have good quality. There are various methods of software development in System Development Lyfe Cycle (SDLC). Each SDLC method provides a general guiding line about different software development and has different characteristics. Each method of software development has its drawbacks and advantages so that the selection of software development methods should be compatible with the capacity of the software developed. This paper will compare three different software development methods: V-Shaped Model, Parallel Development Model, and Iterative Model with the aim of providing an understanding of software developers to choose the right method.

Out-of-Transit Refracted Light in the Atmospheres of Transiting and Non-Transiting Exoplanets
Creators: name: Dalba, Paul A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Before an exoplanet transit, atmospheric refraction bends light into the line of sight of an observer. The refracted light forms a stellar mirage, a distorted secondary image of the host star. I model this phenomenon and the resultant out-of-transit flux increase across a comprehensive exoplanetary parameter space. At visible wavelengths, Rayleigh scattering limits the detectability of stellar mirages in most exoplanetary systems with semi-major axes $\lesssim$6 AU. A notable exception is almost any planet orbiting a late M or ultra-cool dwarf star at $\gtrsim$0.5 AU, where the maximum relative flux increase is greater than 50 parts-per-million. Based partly on previous work, I propose that the importance of refraction in an exoplanet system is governed by two angles: the orbital distance divided by the stellar radius and the total deflection achieved by a ray in the optically thin portion of the atmosphere. Atmospheric lensing events caused by non-transiting exoplanets, which allow for exoplanet detection and atmospheric characterization, are also investigated. I derive the basic formalism to determine the total signal-to-noise ratio of an atmospheric lensing event, with application to Kepler data. It is unlikely that out-of-transit refracted light signals are clearly present in Kepler data due to Rayleigh scattering and the bias toward short-period exoplanets. However, observations at long wavelengths (e.g., the near-infrared) are significantly more likely to detect stellar mirages. Lastly, I discuss the potential for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite to detect refracted light and consider novel science cases enabled by refracted light spectra from the James Webb Space Telescope.

description: We study density response N(k,omega) and one-particle spectra A(k,omega) for a Wigner lattice model at quarter filling using exact diagonalization. We investigate these observables for models with short and long-range electron-electron interaction and show that truncation of the electron repulsion can lead to very different results. The spectra show clear signatures of charge fractionalization into pairs of domain walls, whose interaction can be attractive or repulsive and is controlled by the formal fractional charges. In striking contrast to a bound exciton in N(k,omega), we find an antibound quasi-particle in A(k,omega), which undergoes spin-charge separation. We present a case of extreme particle-hole asymmetry, where photoemission shows spin-charge separation, while inverse photoemission exhibits an uncorrelated one-particle band.

Exploring the Allegorical Interpretation of Sabbath in 'The Legend of Thyl Ulenspiegel and Lamme Goedzak': A DMT-Inspired Perspective
Creators: name: Kolesnikov, Aleksandr
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This study explores the allegorical depiction of Sabbath in "The Legend of Thyl Ulenspiegel and Lamme Goedzak" through a Dimethyltryptamine (DMT)-inspired lens, proposing that the vivid, fantastical descriptions within the legend might reflect experiences similar to those induced by DMT consumption. Drawing on comparative analysis with firsthand DMT experiences, including encounters with "self-transforming machine elves" as described by Terence McKenna, this paper seeks to bridge historical allegory with contemporary psychedelic experiences. Through the examination of Till Eulenspiegel's legend, alongside scientific and anecdotal evidence of DMT effects, investigation reveals possible intersection between historical folklore and modern psychedelic research, highlighting the narrative's potential to mirror transformative experiences and opening new avenues for the exploration of cultural artifacts' interplay with psychedelic experiences.

description: Highly uniform and ordered nanodot arrays are crucial for high performance quantum optoelectronics including new semiconductor lasers and single photon emitters, and for synthesizing artificial lattices of interacting quasiparticles towards quantum information processing and simulation of many-body physics. Van der Waals heterostructures of 2D semiconductors are naturally endowed with an ordered nanoscale landscape, i.e. the moiré pattern that laterally modulates electronic and topographic structures. Here we find these moiré effects realize superstructures of nanodot confinements for long-lived interlayer excitons, which can be either electrically or strain tuned from perfect arrays of quantum emitters to excitonic superlattices with giant spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Besides the wide range tuning of emission wavelength, the electric field can also invert the spin optical selection rule of the emitter arrays. This unprecedented control arises from the gauge structure imprinted on exciton wavefunctions by the moiré, which underlies the SOC when hopping couples nanodots into superlattices. We show that the moiré hosts complex-hopping honeycomb superlattices, where exciton bands feature a Dirac node and two Weyl nodes, connected by spin-momentum locked topological edge modes.

description: We analyze asymmetries in the gas rotation curves of 113 galaxies drawn from the Nearby Field Galaxy Survey, spanning a broad range of luminosities and morphologies. If the origin of the rotation curve is chosen to minimize the asymmetry, then ~23% of sample galaxies show asymmetry >5% within 1.3r_e.

description: In femtosecond demagnetization experiments, one gains access to the elementary relaxation mechanisms of a magnetically ordered spin system on a time scale of 100 fs. Following these experiments, we report a combined micromagnetic and experimental study that connects the different regimes known from all-optical pump-probe experiments by employing a simple micromagnetic model. We identify spin-wave packets on the nanometer scale that contribute to the remagnetization process on the intermediate time scale between single-spin relaxation and collective precession.

description: We search for bulk counterrotation of the gas and stars in 67 galaxies of all types and a wide range of luminosities. Bulk counterrotation characterizes \~25-30% of E/S0's with extended gas, but at most a few percent of Sa-Sbc spirals. For S0's, the frequency of counterrotation we derive agrees with previous work, but we sample significantly fainter luminosities. Thus the agreement suggests that similar formation mechanisms may operate over a wide range of physical scales.

The Weiss-algorithm for the Painleé test, that has been succesfully used in mathematical physics for the KdV-equation, Burgers equation, the sine-Gordon equation etc., is applied, and we find that the system possesses only the "conditional" Painlevé property. We use the outcome of the analysis to construct an auto-Bäcklund transformation, and we find a variety of one and two-parameter families of special solutions.

description: Regular and stochastic behavior in the time series of Parkinsonian pathological tremor velocity is studied on the basis of the statistical theory of discrete non-Markov stochastic processes and flicker-noise spectroscopy. We have developed a new method of analyzing and diagnosing Parkinson's disease (PD) by taking into consideration discreteness, fluctuations, long- and short-range correlations, regular and stochastic behavior, Markov and non-Markov effects and dynamic alternation of relaxation modes in the initial time signals. The spectrum of the statistical non-Markovity parameter reflects Markovity and non-Markovity in the initial time series of tremor. The relaxation and kinetic parameters used in the method allow us to estimate the relaxation scales of diverse scenarios of the time signals produced by the patient in various dynamic states. The local time behavior of the initial time correlation function and the first point of the non-Markovity parameter give detailed information about the variation of pathological tremor in the local regions of the time series. The obtained results can be used to find the most effective method of reducing or suppressing pathological tremor in each individual case of a PD patient. Generally, the method allows one to assess the efficacy of the medical treatment for a group of PD patients.

description: The estimation of modal parameters from a set of noisy measured data is a highly judgmental task, with user expertise playing a significant role in distinguishing between estimated physical and noise modes of a test-piece. Various methods have been developed to automate this procedure. The common approach is to identify models with different orders and cluster similar modes together. However, most proposed methods based on this approach suffer from high-dimensional optimization problems in either the estimation or clustering step. To overcome this problem, this study presents an algorithm for autonomous modal parameter estimation in which the only required optimization is performed in a three-dimensional space. To this end, a subspace-based identification method is employed for the estimation and a non-iterative correlation-based method is used for the clustering. This clustering is at the heart of the paper. The keys to success are correlation metrics that are able to treat the problems of spatial eigenvector aliasing and nonunique eigenvectors of coalescent modes simultaneously. The algorithm commences by the identification of an excessively high-order model from frequency response function test data. The high number of modes of this model provide bases for two subspaces: one for likely physical modes and one for its complement dubbed the subspace of noise modes. By employing the bootstrap resampling technique, several subsets are generated from the same basic dataset and for each of them a model is identified to form a set of models. Then, by correlation analysis, highly correlated modes of these models which appear repeatedly are clustered together and the noise modes are collected in a so-called Trashbox cluster. Stray noise modes attracted to the mode clusters are trimmed away by correlation analysis. The final step is a fuzzy c-means clustering procedure.

description: We study bosons interacting with an abelian Chern-Simons field on Riemann surfaces of genus $g>0$. It is shown that a singular gauge transformation brings the hamiltonian to free form. The transformed wave functions furnish a multi-component representation of the braid group studied by Imbo and March-Russell. The construction constitutes a proof of the equivalence of bosons coupled to a Chern-Simons field and anyons and generalizes the well known equivalence of the two pictures on the plane.

Numerical solution of a non-linear conservation law applicable to the interior dynamics of partially molten planets

description: The energy balance of a partially molten rocky planet can be expressed as a non-linear diffusion equation using mixing length theory to quantify heat transport by both convection and mixing of the melt and solid phases. In this formulation the effective or eddy diffusivity depends on the entropy gradient, $\partial S/\partial r$, as well as entropy. First we present a simplified model with semi-analytical solutions, highlighting the large dynamic range of $\partial S/\partial r$, around 12 orders of magnitude, for physically-relevant parameters. It also elucidates the thermal structure of a magma ocean during the earliest stage of crystal formation. This motivates the development of a simple, stable numerical scheme able to capture the large dynamic range of $\partial S/\partial r$ and provide a flexible and robust method for time-integrating the energy equation. We then consider a full model including energy fluxes associated with convection, mixing, gravitational separation, and conduction that all depend on the thermophysical properties of the melt and solid phases. This model is discretised and evolved by applying the finite volume method (FVM), allowing for extended precision calculations and using $\partial S/\partial r$ as the solution variable. The FVM is well-suited to this problem since it is naturally energy conserving, flexible, and intuitive to incorporate arbitrary non-linear fluxes that rely on lookup data. Special attention is given to the numerically challenging scenario in which crystals first form in the centre of a magma ocean. Our computational framework is immediately applicable to modelling high melt fraction phenomena in Earth and planetary science research. Furthermore, it provides a template for solving similar non-linear diffusion equations arising in other disciplines, particularly for non-linear functional forms of the diffusion coefficient.
