description: The influence of tensile strain in the ab-plane on crystal and electronic structure of FeTe has been studied ab initio. In superconducting FeSe the Fermi surface nesting with a vector q~(0.5,0.5)(2π/a) is believed to be crucial for rising superconductivity mediated by spin-fluctuations. The results presented here indicate that tensile-strained FeTe also exhibits such conditions. Furthermore, the Fermi surface changes, related to the increase of the lattice parameter a of this telluride, are opposite to analogous effects reported for FeSe. Since a recently reported transition from the double-stripe to the single-stripe magnetic order in FeTe under tensile strain in the ab-plane is associated with an occurence of superconductivity in corresponding thin films, these findings allow for drawing a consistent picture of superconductivity in FeSe(1-x)Te(x) systems, in general.

Infectious diseases

description: Coronavirus disease (also called COVID-19, 2019-nCov or 2019 Novel Corona virus) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus that had not been previously identified in humans before its outbreak late 2019, and causes respiration-related illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as cough, fever and in more severe cases, pneumonia, and sometimes death. This study examined the utilization of good dietary pattern in the management of COVID-19 pandemic. Four research questions were answered by the study. A descriptive survey research approach was adopted. Ninety-one male and female members of households were randomly selected in Ondo West Local Government as respondents. A self-developed and validated questionnaire titled "Utilization of Good Dietary Pattern in the Management of COVID-19 Pandemic Questionnaire” was the instrument used for data collection. Findings revealed that possible consequences of COVID-19 pandemic on the health of the populace to include break down of immune system, inflammation of the respiratory tract, multi-organ failure, and mortality (¯x ≥ 2.50) and that good dietary habit can aid in the management of COVID-19 pandemic through immune boosting and increased resistance against infections. The study concluded that the consumption of good nutritious diet can aid the management of COVID-19 before and after the infection, as it will boost individuals’ immune system thus protecting against the infection and/or reduce the impact of the infection on infected individual. It is therefore recommended that the consumption of nutrient-dense diets and immune-boosting food should be prioritized in managing COVID-19.

Optimized quantum state transfer through an XY spin chain

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Quantum state transfer along a one-dimensional spin chain has become a fundamental ingredient for quantum communication between distant nodes in a quantum network. We study the average fidelity of quantum state transfer (QST) along a XY spin chain by adjusting the basis identification between the first spin and the last spin. In a proper choice of the basis identification, we find that the QST fidelity depends only on the average parity of the initial state linearly. We propose a simple scheme to adjusting the basis identification to optimize the average fidelity such that it depends linearly on the absolute value of the average parity. In the case that the absolute value of the average parity is $1$ we prove that the fidelity takes the maximum at any time over arbitrary initial state and basis identification.

description: The equipartition of magnetic and thermal energy in interstellar medium (ISM) indicates the magneto-hydrodynamic nature of the interstellar turbulence, which can be decomposed into three wave modes: Alfvén, fast and slow magnetosonic modes. Even for studies performed in the case of subsonic turbulence, the magnetosonic modes have been revealed to be more effective than the Alfvénic modes for processes such as cosmic ray transport and acceleration. The multiphase nature of ISM and diversity of driving mechanisms give rise to spatial variation of turbulence properties. Nevertheless, the employed model of magneto-hydrodynamic turbulence is often oversimplified being assumed to be only Alfvénic due to a lack of observational evidence to the contrary. Here we report the first use of our novel method, the signature from polarization analysis (SPA), on unveiling the plasma modes in interstellar turbulence. Its application leads to the first discovery of magnetosonic modes in the Orion Nebulae, Cygnus X region and Northern Galactic Halo. Through comparison with the spectrum at other wavelengths, our results unexpectedly disclose that active star formation zones are dominated by the magnetosonic modes. The SPA sheds light on the hitherto unknown plasma modes composition of the Galactic turbulence, and marks the onset of a new era in the study of interstellar turbulence and accordingly our understanding of star formation and cosmic ray transport.

description: Studies of cold atom collisions and few-body interactions often require the energy dependence of the scattering phase shift, which is usually expressed in terms of an effective-range expansion. We use accurate coupled-channel calculations on $^{6}$Li, $^{39}$K and $^{133}$Cs to explore the behavior of the effective range in the vicinity of both broad and narrow Feshbach resonances. We show that commonly used expressions for the effective range break down dramatically for narrow resonances and near the zero-crossings of broad resonances. We present an alternative parametrization of the effective range that is accurate through both the pole and the zero-crossing for both broad and narrow resonances. However, the effective range expansion can still fail at quite low collision energies, particularly around narrow resonances. We demonstrate that an analytical form of an energy and magnetic field-dependent phase shift, based on multichannel quantum defect theory, gives accurate results for the energy-dependent scattering length.

description: We estimate the expected distribution of displacements between the two dominant dark matter (DM) peaks (DM-DM displacements) and between DM and gaseous baryon peak (DM-gas displacements) in dark matter halos with masses larger than $10^{13}$ Msun/h. We use as a benchmark the observation of SL2S J08544-0121, which is the lowest mass system ($1.0\times 10^{14}$ Msun/h) observed so far featuring a bi-modal dark matter distribution with a dislocated gas component. We find that $(50 \pm 10)$% of the dark matter halos with circular velocities in the range 300 km/s to 700 km/s (groups) show DM-DM displacements equal or larger than $186 \pm 30$ kpc/h as observed in SL2S J08544-0121. For dark matter halos with circular velocities larger than 700 km/s (clusters) this fraction rises to 70 $\pm$ 10%. Using the same simulation we estimate the DM-gas displacements and find that 0.1 to 1.0% of the groups should present separations equal or larger than $87\pm 14$kpc/h corresponding to our observational benchmark; for clusters this fraction rises to (7 $\pm$ 3)%, consistent with previous studies of dark matter to baryon separations. Considering both constraints on the DM-DM and DM-gas displacements we find that the number density of groups similar to SL2S J08544-0121 is $\sim 6.0\times 10^{-7}$ Mpc$^{-3}$, three times larger than the estimated value for clusters. These results open up the possibility for a new statistical test of LCDM by looking for DM-gas displacements in low mass clusters and groups.

Acta 121 (2014) 407--414) using the semi-empirical multi-body embedded-atom method (EAM) potential has been extended to model polycrystalline metal electrodeposition. Simulations using KMC-EAM are performed over a range of overpotentials to predict the effect on deposit texture evolution. Roughness-time power law behaviour ($\propto t^β$) is observed where $β=0.62 \pm 0.12$, which is in good agreement with past experimental results. Furthermore, the simulations provide insights into the dynamics of sub-surface deposit morphology which are not directly accessible from experimental measurements.

description: Retirement has remained an issue of economic and sociological concern in Nigeria. The period has been plagued with several challenges that make sustainability very difficult. This study examines skill acquisition by retirees in Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State as a gateway to ensure sustainable living during retirement. The objectives of the study were to identify the prospects of skill-acquisition towards sustainable retirement based on gender, to highlight the skills acquirable by retirees in the study area, to enumerate the factors impeding the acquisition of skills by male and female retirees during their active service, and to suggest strategies to enhance skill acquisition before retirement. Hence, four research questions were asked for the study. Descriptive survey research design was used. The population consisted of one thousand and fifty retirees in the study area, and 38 respondents (representing 3.6% of the population) were randomly sampled for the study. A 40-item structured 4-point Likert scale questionnaire was used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed descriptively (mean and variance)and inferentially (t-test) to answer the research questions. Some of the identified skills acquirable by employees to ensure sustainability during retirement are tailoring, weaving, knitting and embroidery, hat and bead making, textile production (e.g. tie and dye, batik), bakery, cookery and managing eatery, crèche and child care services. However, the acquisition of skills is often impeded by factors such as lack of proper orientation, interest and time, and insufficient funds. Therefore, it was recommended that employees should attend entrepreneurial seminars long before retirement, and that government, private establishments, non-governmental and religious organisations should organize practical skill acquisition programmes for workers during their active service.

description: We study explosive synchronization, a phenomenon characterized by first-order phase transitions between incoherent and synchronized states in networks of coupled oscillators. While explosive synchronization has been the subject of many recent studies, in each case strong conditions on either the heterogeneity of the network, its link weights, or its initial construction are imposed to engineer a first-order phase transition. This raises the question of how robust explosive synchronization is in view of more realistic structural and dynamical properties. Here we show that explosive synchronization can be induced in mildly heterogeneous networks by the addition of quenched disorder to the oscillators' frequencies, demonstrating that it is not only robust to, but moreover promoted by, this natural mechanism. We support these findings with numerical and analytical results, presenting simulations of a real neural network as well as a self-consistency theory used to study synthetic networks.

After assembly the surface height error was 19 nm rms. With use of high-precision visible-light metrology and precise control algorithms, we have actuated the x-ray deformable mirror and flattened its entire surface to 0.7 nm rms controllable figure error. This is, to our knowledge, the first sub-nanometer active flattening of a substrate longer than 15 cm.

description: We report $^{31}$P and $^{7}$Li nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies in new non-olivine LiZnPO$_4$-type LiCoPO$_4^\text{tetra}$ microcrystals, where the Co$^{2+}$ ions are tetrahedrally coordinated. Olivine LiCoPO$_4$, which was directly transformed from LiCoPO$_4^\text{tetra}$ by an annealing process, was also studied and compared. The uniform bulk magnetic susceptibility and the $^{31}$P Knight shift obey the Curie-Weiss law for both materials with a high spin Co$^{2+}$ ($3d^7$, $S=3/2$), but the Weiss temperature $Θ$ and the effective magnetic moment $μ_\text{eff}$ are considerably smaller in LiCoPO$_4^\text{tetra}$. The spin-lattice relaxation rate $T_1^{-1}$ reveals a quite different nature of the spin dynamics in the paramagnetic state of both materials. Our NMR results imply that strong geometrical spin frustration occurs in tetrahedrally coordinated LiCoPO$_4$, which may lead to the incommensurate magnetic ordering.

description: We describe the assignment of a previously unidentified interstellar absorption line to ArH$^+$ and discuss its relevance in the context of hydride absorption in diffuse gas with a low H$_2$ fraction. The column densities along several lines of sight are determined and discussd in the framework of chemical models. The column densities of ArH$^+$ are compared to those of other species, tracing interstellar medium (ISM) components with different H$_2$ abundances. Chemical models are constructed, taking UV radiation and cosmic ray ionization into account. Due to the detection of two isotopologues, $^{36}$ArH$^+$ and $^{38}$ArH$^+$, we are confident about the carrier assignment to ArH$^+$. NeH$^+$ is not detected with a limit of [NeH$^+$]/[ArH$^+$] $\le$ 0.1. The derived column densities agree well with the predictions of chemical models. ArH$^+$ is a unique tracer of gas with a fractional H$_2$ abundance of $10^{-4}- 10^{-3}$ and shows little correlation with H$_2$O$^+$, which traces gas with a fractional H$_2$ abundance of $\approx $0.1. A careful analysis of variations in the ArH$^+$, OH$^+$, H$_2$O$^+$ and HF column densities promises to be a faithful tracer of the distribution of the H$_2$ fractional abundance, providing unique information on a poorly known phase in the cycle of interstellar matter, its transition from atomic diffuse gas to dense molecular gas traced by CO emission. Abundances of these species put strong observational constraints upon magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of the interstellar medium, and potentially could evolve into a tool to characterize the ISM. Paradoxically, the ArH$^+$ molecule is a better tracer of \new{almost} purely atomic hydrogen gas than H{\sc i} itself, since H{\sc i} can also be present in gas with a significant molecular content, but ArH$^+$ singles out gas that is $>99.9$\% atomic.

description: A precise quantitative spectral analysis - encompassing atmospheric parameter and chemical elemental abundance determination - is time consuming due to its iterative nature and the multi-parameter space to be explored, especially when done "by eye". A robust automated fitting technique that is as trustworthy as traditional methods would allow for large samples of stars to be analyzed in a consistent manner in reasonable time. We present a semi-automated quantitative spectral analysis technique for early-type stars based on the concept of $χ^2$ minimization. The method's main features are: far less subjective than typical "by eye" methods, correction for inaccurate continuum normalization, consideration of the whole useful spectral range, simultaneous sampling of the entire multi-parameter space (effective temperature, surface gravity, microturbulence, macroturbulence, projected rotational velocity, radial velocity, elemental abundances) to find the global best solution, applicable also to composite spectra. The method is fast, robust and reliable as seen from formal tests and from a comparison with previous analyses. Consistent quantitative spectral analyses of large samples of early-type stars can be performed quickly with very high accuracy.

The Boltzmann equations for the cosmic microwave background photon distribution function are studied in three Lorentz frames. We extend the previous work and derive analytic expressions for the integrated photon redistribution functions over the photon frequency. We also derive analytic expressions in the power series expansion approximation. By combining two formulas, we offer a simple and accurate tool to analyse observation data. These formulas are applicable to the non-thermal electron distributions as well as the standard thermal distribution. The Boltzmann equation is reduced to a single integral form of the electron velocity.

description: The role of anti-kaons in the symmetry energy to be determined in heavy-ion collisions as for instance in such observables as the $π^-/π^+$ ratio is discussed using a simple chiral Lagrangian. It is shown, with some mild assumptions, that kaons, when present in the system, can affect the EoS appreciably for both symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter. For nuclear matter with small asymmetry with which heavy-ion collisions are studied, it may be difficult to distinguish a stiff symmetry energy and the supersoft symmetry energy, even with kaons present. However the effect of kaon is found to be significant such that $μ_n-μ_p \neq 0$ near $x=1/2$, at which the chemical potential difference is zero without kaon amplitude. We present the argument that in order to obtain a reliably accurate equation of state (EoS) for compact-star matter, a much deeper understanding is needed on how the strangeness degrees of freedom such as kaons, hyperons etc. behave in baryonic matter in a Fermi liquid (or possibly a non-Fermi liquid) phase with potential phase changes. It is suggested that such an {\em accurate} treatment could have an important implication on possibly modified gravity.

description: Electrokinetic flows of an aqueous NaCl solution in nanochannels with negatively charged surfaces are studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The four transport coefficients that characterise the response to weak electric and pressure fields, namely the coefficients for the electrical current in response to the electric field ($M^{jj}$) and the pressure field ($M^{jm}$), and those for the mass flow in response to the same fields ($M^{mj}$ and $M^{mm}$), are obtained in the linear regime using a Green--Kubo approach. Nonequilibrium simulations with explicit external fields are also carried out, and the current and mass flows are directly obtained. The two methods exhibit good agreement even for large external field strengths, and Onsager's reciprocal relation ($M^{jm} = M^{mj}$) is numerically confirmed in both approaches. The influence of the surface charge density on the flow is also considered. The values of the transport coefficients are found to be smaller for larger surface charge density, because the counter-ions strongly bound near the channel surface interfere with the charge and mass flows. A reversal of the streaming current and of the reciprocal electro-osmotic flow, with a change of sign of $M^{mj}$ due to the excess co-ions, takes places for very high surface charge density.

description: The hydrodynamic equation governing the homogeneous time evolution of the temperature in a model of confined granular gas is studied by means of the Enskog equation. The existence of a normal solution of the kinetic equation is assumed as a condition for hydrodynamics. Dimensional analysis implies a scaling of the distribution function that is used to determine it in the first Sonine approximation, with a coefficient that evolves in time through its dependence on the temperature. The theoretical predictions are compared with numerical results obtained by the direct simulation Monte Carlo method, and a good agreement is found. The relevance of the normal homogeneous distribution function to derive inhomogeneous hydrodynamic equations, for instance using the Champan-Enskog algorithm, is indicated.

description: We consider single interval Rényi and entanglement entropies for a two dimensional conformal field theory on a circle at nonzero temperature. Assuming that the finite size of the system introduces a unique ground state with a nonzero mass gap, we calculate the leading corrections to the Rényi and entanglement entropy in a low temperature expansion. These corrections have a universal form for any two dimensional conformal field theory that depends only on the size of the mass gap and its degeneracy. We analyze the limits where the size of the interval becomes small and where it becomes close to the size of the spatial circle.

description: The role played by the family in the building of sustainable societycannot be underestimated.The main aim of the study was to suggest strategies to facilitate virile relationship between the family and other institutions as a gateway to sustainable society. Four research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The study was carried out in Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State, adopting descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprised all inhabitants of Ondo City, which is estimated at 459,776, while a sample size of 133 respondents were purposively and randomly sampled. A validated four-point modified Likert scale structured questionnaire of 25 items was used for the study. Data collected were analysed with arithmetic mean, standard deviation,t-test analysis. Major findings are that the functions of the family include ensuring continuity of the society through child-bearing and rearing, meeting the economic needs of the members, and socializing children, andthat sustainable development is conceived in the light of the Vision 2030 put forwards by the United Nations which is the basis for running every sector in Nigeria. Also, maternity homes and adoption centers, banks and insurance companies, and media, perform some of the functions primarily belonging to the family. The two null hypotheses were accepted. It was therefore recommended that families should return to their basic functions, as they are the best to perform these roles, and that other social institutions should perform their functions with recourse to the importance of families in the society.
Understanding Culturally Relevant Engineering Education in Multiple Settings: A Case Study of Nigeria

subject: Engineering education

description: This dissertation is premised on using an asset-based framework to investigate how engineering educators provide culturally relevant engineering education to Nigerian students at the undergraduate level. Its research questions are as follows: How do engineering educators provide culturally relevant teaching to Nigerian students? What can we learn about culturally relevant teaching in engineering education from a comparative study of institutions and educators in the Nigerian context? What are the affordances, challenges, and recommendations? This dissertation leverages the socio-psychological teacher conceptions of “knowledge,” “social relations,” and the “self” and “others” described by Gloria Ladson Billings’ culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP) framework. Schools located in all six of Nigeria’s geopolitical zones and participants fluent in her three major spoken languages are represented in the study. The analyzed data for this study include surveys, in-person and virtual classroom observations, teacher reflection journals, classroom artifacts, school policy documents, and semi-structured interviews with 37 engineering faculty members, 2 provosts, 5 engineering college deans, and 2 students. The findings reveal a strong penchant for analogies and proverbs as analogical bridges that engineering instructors in this context used when traditional experiments, classroom demonstrations, or available educational resources failed. Nuances of culturally-relevant teacher conceptions include: using proverbs to build cognitive reasoning in Nigerian engineering classrooms; visual and auditory cues as a type of formative feedback; analogies as a pedagogical form; advocating for active and authentic learning through tutorials; leveraging the communal nature of the culture in the classroom; colonial antecedents responsible for certain school policies; manifestations of Ladson-Billings’ conceptions in this context; and peculiarities of the three CRP criteria in this context. The dissertation concludes with implications of the study for culturally relevant engineering education and useful recommendations for instructors looking for culturally relevant ways of supporting students of Nigerian origins in their engineering classrooms.

description: Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is an integral protein of the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) that catalyzes the fourth step of the de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis and is functionally connected to the respiratory chain via its lipophilic co-substrate, ubiquinone Q10. DHODH is the target for drugs approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, and mutations in its sequence have been identified as the cause of Miller syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. The N-terminus of DHODH consists of a signal peptide for mitochondrial import (MS), a transmembrane domain (TM), followed by a microdomain which interacts with the lipids of the IMM and has been proposed to form the binding site for ubiquinone Q10. However, the mechanism by which DHODH interacts with the membrane-embedded Q10 and the lipids of the IMM remains unknown. We present the preparation and characterization of proteins necessary for investigating the structural interactions of DHODH with the lipids of the IMM, including expression and purification of full-length and N-terminally truncated (without MS and TM) DHODH. We characterized the interaction of truncated DHODH with lipid bilayers containing some key lipids of the IMM using Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring and compared it to the DHODH from E. coli, a DHODH that naturally lacks a TM. Our results suggest that although cardiolipin enhances the interaction of truncated DHODH with lipid bilayers, the presence of the TM in human DHODH is necessary for stable binding to and securing its location at the outer surface of the IMM.
