description: We demonstrate that the parity-time symmetry for sound is realized in the laser-pumped multiple-quantum-well structure. Breaking of the parity-time symmetry for the phonons with wave vectors corresponding to the Bragg condition makes the structure a highly-selective acoustic wave amplifier. Single-mode distributed feedback phonon lasing is predicted for structures with realistic parameters.

description: Similar to the mullite-types, the structures of olivine-type materials are dominated by parallel chains of edge-sharing MO6 octahedra. The large number of crystal species belonging to these groups makes it possible to systematically study the influence of different cations and of different types of linkage of the octahedral chains on their properties. Therefore, we determined full sets of the coefficients of thermal expansion and elastic stiffnesses of orthorhombic sinhalite, MgAlBO4, and chrysoberyl, Al2BeO4, in the temperature range from 100 K to 1273 K and, respectively, from 100 K to 1473 K, employing a combination of dilatometry and resonant ultrasound spectroscopy. At ambient conditions the elastic behavior of sinhalite is more anisotropic than the one of chrysoberyl [1]. Both crystal species follow the general trend of increasing bulk modulus with increasing oxygen packing density as observed in many oxides with hcp-like packing of oxygen atoms. With bulk moduli of 178 GPa and 233 GPa sinhalite and chrysoberyl belong to the stiffest olivine-type materials known so far. While in chrysoberyl the softening of the elastic stiffnesses at high temperatures can be well explained by lattice vibrations, certain stiffness coefficients of sinhalite soften at an increasing rate above about 600 K. The anomalous behavior is probably related to the increasing instability of the tetrahedral BO4 groups that eventually leads to decomposition of sinhalite at about 1400 K.

description: Using 7 years of administrative data from North Carolina public schools (NCPS), we track changes in teacher and principal attrition and mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic and assess how attrition is related to characteristics of educators and schools. We find that educator attrition and mobility increased sharply between Fall 2020 and Fall 2022. Data from the pandemic period indicate that educators of color and more effective educators have experienced larger increases in attrition than their White and less effective peers. Gaps in teacher attrition have narrowed between schools educating many versus few historically marginalized students.

description:
Earthquakes on faults in the brittle upper crust cause sudden changes in pore fluid pressure as well as viscoelastic flow in the lower crust and lithospheric mantle, which affect the postseismic stress and velocity fields in the crust. However, the relative importance of these processes during the postseismic phase has not been systematically studied. In this study, we use 2D finite-element models for intracontinental dip-slip faults to investigate the interaction of pore fluid pressure changes and postseismic viscoelastic relaxation during the earthquake cycle. In different experiments, we vary the permeability of the crust and the viscosity of the lower crust or lithospheric mantle, while keeping the other parameters constant. The results show that the earthquake induced pore pressure changes dissipate within a few days to decades, depending on the permeability of the crust. Therefore, poroelastic effects dominate the velocity field in the first few months, but still affect the velocity field years after the earthquake if the permeability of the upper crust is sufficiently low. Viscoelastic relaxation may also occur in the early postseismic phase for sufficiently low viscosities and then dominates the velocity field from about the second postseismic year onward. Depending on the viscosity, the viscoelastic flow may persist for several decades. Our findings imply that both poroelastic effects and viscoelastic relaxation may overlap earlier and over longer time periods than previously thought, which should be considered when interpreting aftershock distributions, postseismic Coulomb stress changes and surface displacements.

description: The spread of fake news can have devastating ramifications, and recent advancements to neural fake news generators have made it challenging to understand how misinformation generated by these models may best be confronted. We conduct a feature-based study to gain an interpretative understanding of the linguistic attributes that neural fake news generators may most successfully exploit. When comparing models trained on subsets of our features and confronting the models with increasingly advanced neural fake news, we find that stylistic features may be the most robust. We have used five separate publicly available datasets. They are the BuzzFeed Real News Dataset, the BuzzFeed Fake News Dataset, the PolitiFact Real News Dataset, the Telling a Lie Corpus and the PolitiFact Fact Check Dataset. We discuss our findings, subsequent analyses, and broader implications.

description: Artificial lattices have been employed in many two-dimensional systems, including those of electrons, atoms and photons, in a quest for massless Dirac particles with flexibility and controllability. Periodically patterned molecule assembly and electrostatic gating as well as moiré pattern induced by substrate, have produced electronic states with linear dispersions from isotropic two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). Here we demonstrate that massless Dirac fermions with tunable anisotropic characteristics can, in general, be generated in highly anisotropic 2DEG under slowly varying external periodic potentials. For patterned few-layer black phosphorus superlattices, the new chiral quasiparticles exist exclusively in an isolated energy window and inherit the strong anisotropic properties of pristine black phosphorus. These states exhibit asymmetric Klein tunneling with the direction of incidence for wave packet with perfect transmission deviating from normal incidence by more than 50° under an appropriate barrier orientation.

Partition-free theory of time-dependent current correlations in nanojunctions in response to an arbitrary time-dependent bias

description: Working within the Nonequilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) formalism, a formula for the two-time current correlation function is derived for the case of transport through a nanojunction in response to an arbitrary time-dependent bias. The one-particle Hamiltonian and the Wide Band Limit Approximation (WBLA) are assumed, enabling us to extract all necessary Green's functions and self energies for the system, extending the analytic work presented previously [Ridley et al. Phys. Rev. B (2015)]. We show that our new expression for the two-time correlation function generalises the Büttiker theory of shot and thermal noise on the current through a nanojunction to the time-dependent bias case including the transient regime following the switch-on. Transient terms in the correlation function arise from an initial state that does not assume (as is usually done) that the system is initially uncoupled, i.e. our approach is partition-free. We show that when the bias loses its time-dependence, the long time-limit of the current correlation function depends on the time difference only, as in this case an ideal steady state is reached. This enables derivation of known results for the single frequency power spectrum and for the zero frequency limit of this power spectrum. In addition, we present a technique which for the first time facilitates fast calculations of the transient quantum noise, valid for arbitrary temperature, time and voltage scales. We apply this to the quantum dot and molecular wire systems for both DC and AC biases, and find a novel signature of the traversal time for electrons crossing the wire in the time-dependent cross-lead current correlations.

title: Mantle response to ridge re-organization
Creators: name: Sanfilippo, Alessio
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2022

description:
The local preservation of depleted Nd-Hf and Os isotopic compositions in abyssal peridotites contrasts with the lack of such extreme isotopic signatures in erupted MORB [1]. This is likely a consequence of different preservation potentials of melts from enriched and depleted portions of mantle [2]. Indeed, fertile and geochemically enriched components produce melts hosting the majority of incompatible elements, concealing the chemical fingerprint of the depleted counterparts [3]. However, Mid Ocean Ridges are dynamic environments, where geodynamic responses to far field forces may cause change in ridge-geometry and/or re-organization of the ridge axis. This contribution discusses how this process affects melting regimes, reducing the effect of mixing [5,6]. I will consider study cases from large-offset oceanic transforms from the Mid Atlantic Ridge (Doldrums and Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zones), and from the highly asymmetric Knipovich Ridge, in the Arctic Ocean. Variations in chemistry of basalt and associated peridotites are used to show the coupled effect of cooling at the ridge-transform intersections and/or re-melting the sub-oceanic mantle. Changes in melting regime may cause preferential melting or enriched or depleted mantle domains, uncovering an intrinsic heterogeneity otherwise difficult to assess.

Creators: name: Münchhalfen, Marie

Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2022

description:
Radioactive decay of unstable isotopes causes damage to zircon, which significantly reduces its elastic stiffnesses (e.g., Özkan, 1976). These damages can be partially healed by temperature treatment of the zircon crystal. In order to study in situ the recrystallization of metamict zircon, thermoelastic properties, and thermal expansion data were collected between 100 K and 1600 K utilizing resonant ultrasound spectroscopy and dilatometry, respectively. The investigated samples of natural gem-quality zircon belong to the damage stage I introduced by Holland & Gottfried, 1955, i.e. the damage in the crystal structure is mainly dominated by the accumulation of isolated point defects.

 While non-metamict zircon samples display a linear decrease in elastic stiffnesses, the partially metamict zircon samples undergo strong irreversible effects detected in both utilized methods. The elastic stiffnesses increase starting at about 600 K, while the thermal expansion decreases. The severity of this effect becomes more pronounced with an increasing initial state of damage and thus can be related to the healing of defects induced by metamictization. A second effect sets in at about 1200 K, likely related to a transition from static to dynamic behavior. This supports the idea that reducing radiation damage is a multi-stage process, including point defect healing and recrystallization of an amorphous fraction.

title: „Wer hat an der Uhr gedreht ?“ Mechanisms of Rb-Sr age resetting revealed by high-resolution LA-ICP-MS/MS isotope mappings
Creators: name: Kutzschbach, Martin
name: Glodny, Johannes
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2022

description:
The Rb-Sr isotope system is sensitive to secondary processes that disturb or even completely reset the age signal in datable minerals like mica or feldspars. To interpret age signatures correctly, the factors governing isotope mobility in real-world minerals have to be identified. Three main processes are known to influence isotopic clocks: (1) diffusional re-equilibration of minerals with their surroundings, which is expected to be strongly temperature-sensitive provided that the matrix of a given mineral facilitates rapid isotope transport (2) fluid-mediated dissolution-reprecipitation and (3) deformation-induced dynamic recrystallization.

Distinction between these processes is notoriously difficult. However, different types of Sr isotope mobility should leave characteristic microscale isotope distribution patterns, with bell-shaped Sr diffusion patterns, preferential rejuvenation close to high-strain zones in the case of ductile deformation, and probably element zoning patterns resulting from fluid-driven reprecipitation. To recognize and to distinguish such patterns, two-dimensional images of the Rb/Sr elemental and Sr-isotope distribution would be required, in analogy to what has been done using Ar-Ar in K-feldspar [1],[2].

Visualization of such patterns has long been analytically impossible due to the absence of an in-situ method that provides sufficient Rb Sr-sensitivity, isotope selectivity and high spatial resolution. By combining state-of the art ICP-MS/MS spectrometry and a fast aerosol transfer lasing system, we developed a routine for rapid Rb-Sr age mappings of mica that offers resolution at the µm-scale. We present first age maps for muscovite crystals from metamorphosed granitic pegmatites.

description: The impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic on the field of dentistry was unprecedented. The coronavirus disease 2019, or more commonly known as COVID-19, is a highly infectious disease caused by severe acute respirator syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV- 2). As of October 2022, COVID-19 has infected more than 626 million people and caused over 6.5 million deaths worldwide (WHO, 2022). In the United States, nearly 96 million people are infected and more than a million of those infected have died (WHO, 2022). To realize excellent end of treatment outcomes, continuity of care is critical. In this study we assessed the impact of COVID-19 pandemic induced closure of a university-based orthodontics clinic on clinical outcomes. The orthodontics clinic was closed for 3 months to all elective procedures and only open for patients requiring urgent and emergency procedures. We examined orthodontic patient records during the 3-month closure and 1 month following reopening of clinic. A retrospective qualitative analysis of electronic health record narratives was conducted. A total of 643 patient encounters were evaluated. The common themes of adverse events identified included: poking wire, broken brackets or bands, broken or bent appliances, delayed multidisciplinary procedures, overexpansion, undesirable tooth movement, poor treatment compliance, poor oral hygiene, Invisalign related issues, relapse or other retention related issues, and sensitivity, pain, swelling, and irritation. The study yielded information that is of immediate need to orthodontists and for future management of natural disasters.

description: After the start of the 2011 uprising, Syrian and international justice actors embraced the transitional justice paradigm to support the hoped-for transition. However, the transformation of the uprising to a civil war altered the mobilisation for justice, shifting the main focus from democratic reforms and the redress of past harm to the recognition of, and accountability for, ongoing injustices. Notwithstanding the impossibility of implementing a model version of transitional justice, Syrian and international justice actors have continued to use transitional justice concepts and initiatives to mobilise for justice. In this presentation, I demonstrate how this endeavour has generated important innovations in the domain of documentation, criminal accountability and truth-seeking.

description: Since its first isolation in 2004, graphene has been found to host a plethora of unusual electronic transport phenomena, making it a fascinating system for fundamental studies in condensed-matter physics as well as offering tremendous opportunities for future electronic and sensing devices. However, to fully realise these goals a major challenge is the ability to non-invasively image charge currents in monolayer graphene structures and devices. Typically, electronic transport in graphene has been investigated via resistivity measurements, however, such measurements are generally blind to spatial information critical to observing and studying landmark transport phenomena such as electron guiding and focusing, topological currents and viscous electron backflow in real space, and in realistic imperfect devices. Here we bring quantum imaging to bear on the problem and demonstrate high-resolution imaging of current flow in graphene structures. Our method utilises an engineered array of near-surface, atomic-sized quantum sensors in diamond, to map the vector magnetic field and reconstruct the vector current density over graphene geometries of varying complexity, from mono-ribbons to junctions, with spatial resolution at the diffraction limit and a projected sensitivity to currents as small as 1 μA. The measured current maps reveal strong spatial variations corresponding to physical defects at the sub-μm scale. The demonstrated method opens up an important new avenue to investigate fundamental electronic and spin transport in graphene structures and devices, and more generally in emerging two-dimensional materials and thin film systems.

description: Background: A subset of individuals suffering from Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) will experience ongoing symptoms that last longer than three months (i.e., long-haul COVID). This includes olfactory dysfunction (OD), which is currently estimated to occur in 1-63.5% of patients at one-year post-infection. However, OD in individuals with long-haul COVID-19 is poorly understood, and there is little information regarding how initial SARS-CoV-2 variants correlate with long-haul symptoms. In this study, we investigated the prevalence and severity of OD in patients with long-haul COVID-19 and investigated how OD severity varied with SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Methods: Patients were recruited from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill COVID Recovery Clinic. Each patient completed the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT). The dominant strain at the time of infection was determined using the date of COVID-19 diagnosis, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, and North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services databases.
Results: Nearly 85% of patients with long-haul COVID-19 reported some degree of OD, which persisted in some patients for two or more years from the date of the initial infection. There was no association between the time since COVID-19 infection and severity of OD. No difference was detected between OD in patients with long-haul COVID-19 based on the dominant variant at the time of infection (p=0.0959).
Conclusion: A vast majority of patients with long-haul COVID-19 had some degree of ongoing olfactory complications, although the severity of symptoms was not dependent on the dominant SARS-CoV-2 variant at the time of infection.

description: Renormalization group equations are an essential tool for the description of theories accross different energy scales. Even though their expressions at two-loop for an arbitrary gauge field theory have been known for more than thirty years, deriving the full set of equations for a given model by hand is very challenging and prone to errors. To tackle this issue, we have introduced in [1] a Python tool called PyR@TE; Python Renormalization group equations @ Two-loop for Everyone. With PyR@TE, it is easy to implement a given Lagrangian and derive the complete set of two-loop RGEs for all the parameters of the theory. In this paper, we present the new version of this code, PyR@TE 2, which brings many new features and in particular it incorporates kinetic mixing when several $\mathrm{U}(1)$ gauge groups are involved. In addition, the group theory part has been greatly improved as we introduced a new Python module dubbed PyLie that deals with all the group theoretical aspects required for the calculation of the RGEs as well as providing very useful model building capabilities. This allows the use of any irreducible representation of the $\mathrm{SU}(n)$, $\mathrm{SO}(2n)$ and $\mathrm{SO(2n+1)}$ groups. % Furthermore, it is now possible to implement terms in the Lagrangian involving fields which can be contracted into gauge singlets in more than one way. As a byproduct, results for a popular model (SM+complex triplet) for which, to our knowledge, the complete set of two-loop RGEs has not been calculated before are presented in this paper. Finally, the two-loop RGEs for the anomalous dimension of the scalar and fermion fields have been implemented as well. It is now possible to export the coupled system of beta functions into a numerical C++ function, leading to a consequent speed up in solving them.

Improving Surgical Outcomes via CAD/CAM, VSP, VR, and CNC Machining in the OR for Craniosynostosis Repair
Creators: name: Saini, Devansh
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Craniosynostosis is the fusion of two or more bones of the skull when one or more cranial sutures of the infant fuses prematurely. Total Cranial Vault Remodeling is a surgical procedure to treat this condition by cutting, drilling, and reshaping the cranial bones, thus imparting a normative head shape for a child's brain to grow. This study automates a component of total cranial vault remodeling surgery to enhance surgical and patient outcomes, offering a fresh alternative to the craniomaxillofacial surgical community. An effective workflow that improved the surgery's efficiency and precision was created using surgical planning, 3D printing, computer-aided design and manufacture, virtual reality, and CNC milling. Lean and Six Sigma concepts, together with expertise of quality control, were also used to enhance the reliability of the workflow. An ideal model that closely matched the mechanical characteristics of the calvarium bone of a human newborn was selected after mechanical testing on four different types of cadaver bones. By doing arbitrary tests on cadaver bone, a team of craniofacial surgeons further validated the mechanical testing results. Using a CNC machine, linear osteotomies were made in the selected bone while cutting parameters were optimized to reduce heat produced where the bone contacted the cutting tool. Complex osteotomies were machined using the kerfing technique after the optimal machining settings had been established in order to make the bone pliable. By using the workflow, instruments, and techniques created during this research, infants undergoing craniosynostosis correction will experience shorter surgical and anesthesia durations, more anatomically accurate and precise head shape correction, and less reliance on the experience of the operating surgeon. The research may also have broader applicability in other bone repair surgical specialties.

Ökozentrische Soziale Arbeit: Ein Ansatz für die Transformation traditioneller Sozialer Arbeit
Creators: name: Jost, Robert
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Die anthropogen verursachte Klimakrise und die daraus entstehenden Folgen für Mensch und Natur, wird als die grösste soziale Herausforderung betrachtet und betrifft alle. Die Soziale Arbeit, welche sich für die Lösung sozialer Probleme einsetzt, bleibt jedoch mit ihrem traditionellen Paradigma aussen vor. Es existiert kein Auftrag und keine ethische Begründung für eine ökologisch orientierte Soziale Arbeit. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Literaturarbeit ist die Erarbeitung von Methoden, welche die Transformation der traditionell anthropozentrischen Sozialen Arbeit, hin zu einer ganzheitlichen und ökozentrischen Profession begünstigen. Um die Fragen zu beantworten, wie eine solche Transformation angeregt werden kann, wurde die bestehende, vorwiegend englischsprachige Literatur über ökologisch-kritische Soziale Arbeit sowie Umweltethik, analysiert und ausgewertet. In der Arbeit wird aufgezeigt, was unter dem naturethischen Ökozentrismus verstanden wird und wie dieses Konzept dem aktuellen Paradigma der Sozialen Arbeit gegenübersteht. Weiter werden die Berührungspunkte der Sozialen Arbeit mit der ökologischen Krise dargelegt. Es wird verdeutlicht, warum die ökozentrische Soziale Arbeit für die Profession so von Bedeutung ist und wie dieses Paradigma implementiert und nachhaltig verankert werden kann. Die Auswertung der Literatur hat dabei gezeigt, dass der ökozentrische Gedanke in der Sozialen Arbeit vorhanden, jedoch nicht im normativen Denken und Handeln der Profession verankert ist. Gleichzeitig hat sich herauskristallisiert, dass sich in der Sozialen Arbeit, hauptsächlich im latein- und nordamerikanischen sowie im australischen und skandinavischen Raum ein ökozentrisches Weltbild etabliert. Obwohl dieses Paradigma aktuell noch eine alternative Nische in der Sozialen Arbeit darstellt, konnten in der vorliegenden Arbeit Methoden für die Praxis und auch die Ausbildung der Sozialen Arbeit entworfen werden, welche den Weg für eine ökozentrische Transformation des bisher dominierenden anthropozentrischen Paradigmas in der Sozialen Arbeit ebnen können.

description: BACKGROUND: Jails in the United States are required to provide health care to the over 10 million people entering jails each year, a significant portion of whom need medications. Yet little is known about the processes by which medications are prescribed, obtained, and administered to incarcerated persons in jails.
OBJECTIVE: To describe medication access, policy, and procedures in jails.
METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with administrators and health workers from 34 jails (of 125 contacted) across 5 states in the southeastern United States. The interview guide covered all aspects of healthcare in jails from entry to release; however, the present study focused on responses relating to medications. Interviews were thematically coded using a combination of deductive and inductive coding guided by the research objective.
RESULTS: Four processes described medication use chronologically from intake to release: jail entry and health screening, pharmacy and medication protocols, protocols specific to medication dispensing and administration, and medications at release. Many jails had procedures for using medications brought from home, though some declined to use these medications. Medication decision-making in jails was primarily performed by contracted healthcare providers, and most medications were obtained from contract pharmacies. Almost all jails banned narcotics; however, other medication restrictions varied by jail. Most jails charged a copay for medications. Participants discussed various privacy practices related to medication distribution, as well as approaches to diversion prevention including "crushing and floating" medications. Finally, the pre-release medication management process included transition planning that ranged from no planning to sending additional prescriptions to the patient's pharmacy.
CONCLUSIONS: Medication access, protocols, and procedures in jails varies considerably, and there is a need for further adoption of existing standards and guidelines for the use of medications in jails, such as the Assess, Plan, Identify, and Coordinate (APIC) model of community re-entry.

description: Several recent studies have demonstrated that the Galactic bulge hosts two components with different mean metallicities, and possibly different spatial distribution and kinematics. As a consequence, both the metallicity distribution and the radial velocity of bulge stars vary across different line of sights. We present here the metallicity distribution function of red clump stars in 26 fields spread across a wide area of the bulge, with special emphasis on fields close to Galactic plane, at latitudes b=-2 and b=-1, that were not explored before. This paper includes new metallicities from a sample of about 5000 K giant stars, observed at spectral resolution R=6500, in the Calcium II Triplet region. They are the main dataset of the GIRAFFE Inner Bulge Survey. As part of the same survey we have previously published results for a sample of about 600 K giant stars, at latitude b=-4 , derived from higher resolution spectra (R=22,500). Results. The combined sample allows us to trace and characterize the metal poor and metal rich bulge populations down to the inner bulge. We present a density map for each of the two components. Contrary to the expectations from previous works, we found the metal poor population to be more centrally concentrated than the metal rich one, and with a more axisymmetric spatial distribution. The metal rich population, on the other hand, is arranged in a boxy distribution, consistent with an edge-on bar. By coupling metallicities and radial velocities we show that the metal poor population has a velocity dispersion that varies rather mildly with latitude. On the contrary, the metal rich population has a low velocity dispersion far from the plane (b=-8.5), but it has a steeper gradient with latitude, becoming higher than the metal poor one in the innermost field (b=-1).

Year: 2023

description: By analyzing 123,386 international COVID-19 news stories from nine news outlets, this study explores factors influencing U.S. news coverage of global COVID-19 issues in 2020. Various determinants of pandemic conditions, political, socioeconomic, cultural characteristics, and transnational relationships between foreign countries and the United States were considered. The research also examines how the impact of these factors differ depending on the U.S.’s COVID-19 conditions. Overall findings indicate that U.S. global COVID-19 coverage was affected by foreign country’s COVID-19 caseloads, as well as trade and diplomatic relationships. When looking at different U.S. pandemic conditions, however, different patterns were detected.
Distality Rank and Tree Dimension

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Building on Pierre Simon's notion of distality, Part I of our thesis introduces distality rank as a property of first-order theories and gives examples for each rank. For NIP theories, we show that distality rank is invariant under base change. We also define a generalization of type orthogonality called m-determinacy and show that theories of distality rank m require certain products to be m-determined. Furthermore, for NIP theories, this behavior characterizes m-distality. If we narrow the scope to stable theories, we observe that m-distality can be characterized by the maximum cycle size found in the forking “geometry,” so it coincides with (m-1)-triviality. On a broader scale, we see that m-distality is a strengthening of Saharon Shelah's notion of m-dependence. We also introduce strong distality rank which applies to global invariant types and formulas, as well as EM-types and theories. When applied to definable sets, this stronger variant provides a means of cell decomposition. If the defining formula is distal, this decomposition is equivalent to the one provided by strong honest definitions. Part II of our thesis introduces tree dimension and its leveled variant in order to measure the complexity of leaf sets for finite-height binary trees. We then provide a tight upper bound for the size of an arbitrary leaf set based on its leveled tree dimension. This, in turn, implies the famous Sauer-Shelah Lemma for Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension and Bhaskar's version for Littlestone dimension giving clearer insight into why these results place the exact same upper bound on their respective shatter functions. We also fully classify the maximal leaf sets for each tree dimension by isomorphism type. With appropriate modifications, these results extend to higher-arity trees. Finally, we apply our analysis to infinite-height binary trees.

description: Purpose – Honeycombs enjoy wide use in various engineering applications. The emergence of additive manufacturing (AM) as a method of customisable of parts has enabled the reinvention of the honeycomb structure. However, research on in-plane compressive performance of both classical and new types of honeycombs fabricated via AM is still ongoing. Several important findings have emerged over the past years, with significance for the AM community and a review is considered necessary and timely. This paper aims to review the in-plane compressive performance of AM honeycomb structures. Design/methodology/approach – This paper provides a state-of-the-art review focussing on the in-plane compressive performance of AM honeycomb structures, covering both polymers and metals. Recently published studies, over the past six years, have been reviewed under the specific theme of in-plane compression properties. Findings – The key factors influencing the AM honeycombs’ in-plane compressive performance are identified, namely the geometrical features, such as topology shape, cell wall thickness, cell size and manufacturing parameters. Moreover, the techniques and configurations commonly used for geometry optimisation toward improving mechanical performance are discussed in detail. Current AM limitations applicable to AM honeycomb structures are identified and potential future directions are also discussed in this paper. Originality/value – This work evaluates critically the primary results and findings from the published research literature associated with the in-plane compressive mechanical performance of AM honeycombs
