Adolescent Therapeutic Engagement

description: Major Depressive Disorder is a prevalent and pervasive problem in the United States, and this mental disorder disproportionately affects adolescents of color. In particular, there is little research understanding how Hispanic/Latinx adolescents utilize and engage with mental health services, such as psychotherapy, to reduce their symptoms of depression, including factors that are positively and negatively related to engagement. As such, the aims of this study were to understand whether there were any relationships between presenting characteristics of adolescents seeking therapy for depression and their subsequent engagement with therapeutic services, with a focus on analyses examining trends in Hispanic/Latinx adolescents. To investigate these aims, we utilized data from a pilot study in which adolescents (n=42) received a mind-body intervention for depression called Mind-Body Skills Groups. We examined possible relationships between depression severity, age, Hispanic/Latinx background, and their interactions with engagement, as measured by attendance rates, self-reported motivation, and at-home skills practice. We hypothesized that high depression severity, high age, and being Hispanic/Latinx would all negatively influence engagement; we also hypothesized the depression-engagement and age-engagement relationships would be moderated by Hispanic/Latinx background. Results revealed initial relationships between lower age and being Hispanic/Latinx with higher attendance rates; depression severity was not related to attendance. When these relationships were further analyzed using hierarchical regression, no significant relationships between predictor and outcomes variables, as well as their interactions, were discovered. In an exploratory analysis investigating factors of adolescent depression using subscales, greater interpersonal problems predicted higher attendance rates. Results are interpreted relative to limitations of the small sample size and possible measurement concerns within this study, including a discussion of possible ways to improve related studies on Hispanic/Latinx youth in the future.

description: Images of flux vortices in superconductors acquired by transmission electron microscopy should allow a quantitative determination of their magnetic structure but so far, only visual comparisons have been made between experimental images and simulations. Here, we make a quantitative comparison between Fresnel images and simulations based on the modified London equation to investigate the magnetic structure of flux vortices in MgB2. This technique gives an absolute, low-field (~30 Oe) measurement of the penetration depth from images of single vortices. We found that these simulations gave a good fit to the experimental images and that if all the other parameters in the fit were known, the penetration depth for individual vortices could be measured with an accuracy of +/- 5 nm. Averaging over 17 vortices gave a penetration depth in the ab plane of 113 +/- 2 at 10.8 K assuming that the entire thickness of the sample was superconducting. The main uncertainty in this measurement was the proportion of the specimen which was superconducting. Allowing for a non-superconducting layer of up to 50 nm thickness on the specimen surfaces gave a penetration depth in the range 100-115 nm, close to values of 90 +/- 2 nm obtained by small-angle neutron scattering and 118-138 nm obtained by radio-frequency measurements. We also discuss the use of the transport of intensity equation which should, in principle, give a model-independent measure of the magnetic structure of flux vortices.

description: We apply a functional renormalisation group to systems of four bosonic atoms close to the unitary limit. We work with a local effective action that includes a dynamical trimer field and we use this field to eliminate structures that do not correspond to the Faddeev-Yakubovsky equations. In the physical limit, we find three four-body bound states below the shallowest three-body state. The values of the scattering lengths at which two of these states become bound are in good agreement with exact solutions of the four-body equations and experimental observations. The third state is extremely shallow. During the evolution we find an infinite number of four-body states based on each three-body state which follow a double-exponential pattern in the running scale. None of the four-body states shows any evidence of dependence on a four-body parameter.

description: Suboptimal dosing of anti-microbial agents increases the likelihood of therapeutic failure and resistance. Dosing optimization, while an attractive approach to combat these issues, is difficult to implement due to the different pharmacokinetics of each individual. These limitations highlight the inadequacies of a “standardized” dosing strategy. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) provides a tailored treatment for individuals while avoiding adverse side effects from compounds with a narrow therapeutic window where elevated concentrations of a drug cause organ toxicity. This strategy involves accurately measuring the concentration of the analyte and interpreting the results based on pharmacokinetic parameters. Clinicians then draw conclusions regarding dose adjustment for their patient. However, TDM is expensive and difficult to perform because measurements occur in biofluids. Rapid and robust methods are necessary to quantify antimicrobial agents at the institutional level to guide patient care toward improved outcomes in serious infection. Paper spray ionization (PS), an emerging ambient ionization technique for clinical settings, demonstrations a wide versatility both in analyte variety and applications. This technique offers a rapid, accurate method to analyze these compounds with low rates of false positives even when multiplexing. The work herein explains the method development of assays for TDM of various antimicrobial agents. Chapters two and three describe ways to improve the quantitative capability of paper spray through substrate pre-treatment, modification, and manipulation of key factors. Chapter four describes real-world applications for paper spray utility in clinical settings with the cross-validation of antifungal agents against a “gold standard” method. The final chapter, while not clinical based, describes the method development process for a LC-MS/MS assay to detect urobilinoids in fly guts.

The results show that, although it is hard to merge one's articles in an optimal way, it is easy to merge them in such a way that one's H-index increases. This suggests the need for an alternative scientific performance measure that is resistant to this type of manipulation.

description: Material flows and energy flows can be correlated with sufficient data, e.g. on production energies, annual production quantities and degrees of dissipation with temperature increases in the atmosphere, volumes of molten ice or sea level increases, as well as with probability statements, information densities and management recommendations. All these quantities can be described by the comprehensive term entropy.
In order to consider the efficiency of material and energy flows, the difficulty to understand the concept of entropy with its different definitions can be summarized simply and easily in a model related to ice cubes.
The quality of a model containing percentage probability statements, statements on dissipation in material flow models in connection with statements on information density and its description by the ice cube model is still to be determined in practice in suitable material flow models. Such projects should show the types of mathematical correlations between dissipation degrees, entropy increase, increase of molten ice and sea level rise.

description: An and/or tree is usually a binary plane tree, with internal nodes labelled by logical connectives, and with leaves labelled by literals chosen in a fixed set of k variables and their negations. In the present paper, we introduce the first model of such Catalan trees, whose number of variables k_n is a function of n, the size of the expressions. We describe the whole range of the probability distributions depending on the function k_n, as soon as it tends jointly with n to infinity. As a by-product we obtain a study of the satisfiability problem in the context of Catalan trees. Our study is mainly based on analytic combinatorics and extends the Kozik's pattern theory, first developed for the fixed-k Catalan tree model.

description: Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
description: Disorganized speech is a core feature of schizophrenia. It is a key component of formal thought disorder (FTD). Recent work has tied disorganized speech to deficits in metacognition, or one’s ability to integrate experiences to form complex mental representations. In this study, we aimed to 1) explore the relationship between disorganized speech and metacognition and 2) compare trained rater and emerging automated analysis methods. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Indiana Psychiatric Illness Interviews (IPII) were conducted; the IPII was coded for disorganized speech using the Communication Disturbances Index (CDI) and Coh-Metrix multidimensional indices. Metacognition was rated using the Metacognition Assessment Scale. We compared FTD (n = 16; PANSS conceptual disorganization ≥ 3) and non-FTD (n = 29; PANSS conceptual disorganization < 3) groups on metacognition and examined CDI and Coh-Metrix’s ability to account for variance in metacognition. We hypothesized that the FTD group would have lower metacognition and that both CDI and Coh-Metrix would account for significant variance in metacognition. Analyses indicated metacognition did not differ between groups and neither measure accounted for significant variance in metacognition. Results also showed that the CDI was able to distinguish the groups. Overall, results suggest little relationship between FTD and metacognition. Findings also indicate that trained rater measures of disorganized speech may have clinical utility in classifying FTD. Future research examining these constructs should address important limitations of this study by ensuring adequate levels of FTD in the study sample and by assessing neurocognition.

description: We have discovered a \sim420d modulation, with associated X-ray dips, in RXTE-ASM/MAXI/Swift-BAT archival light-curves of the short-period (3.2h) black-hole X-ray transient, Swift J1753.5-0127. This modulation only appeared at the end of a gradual rebrightening, approximately 3 years after the initial X-ray outburst in mid-2005. The same periodicity is present in both the 2-20 keV and 15-50 keV bands, but with a \sim0.1 phase offset (\sim40d). Contemporaneous photometry in the optical and near-IR reveals a weaker modulation, but consistent with the X-ray period. There are two substantial X-ray dips (very strong in the 15-50 keV band, weaker at lower energies) that are separated by an interval equal to the X-ray period. This likely indicates two physically separated emitting regions for the hard X-ray and lower energy emission. We interpret this periodicity as a property of the accretion disc, most likely a long-term precession, where the disc edge structure and X-ray irradiation is responsible for the hard X-ray dips and modulation, although we discuss other possible explanations, including Lense-Thirring precession in the inner disc region and spectral state variations. Such precession indicates a very high mass ratio LMXB, which even for a \sim10M_sun BH requires a brown dwarf donor (\sim0.02M_sun), making Swift J1753.5-0127 a possible analogue of millisecond X-ray pulsars.We compare the properties of Swift J1753.5-0127 with other recently discovered short-period transients, which are now forming a separate population of high latitude BH transients located in the galactic halo.

description: This contribution discusses spirituality in the context of organisations and issues that may arise with regard to those who, in the future will act in the field of religious tourism. In this way, it presents a proposal in terms of motivation, joy, inner peace and deeper understanding. Initially the work adopts the deductive method with descriptive research based on literature addressing the spirituality inherent in those who exercise or will carry out activities in this important tourism segment. A survey was carried out to explore the close connections between spirituality and religiousness, and link this to the behaviour and practices of those who will work in the sector. The focus of such research was the organisational climate prevailing in a Brazilian educational institution, the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Roraima, aiming to understand the importance of spirituality in the work environment, resulting in effective commitment and improvement of individual productivity in the exercising of their functions. At this institution, an undergraduate course in tourism management technology is taught. The results of examining participants in this programme, duly quantified and critically analysed, can serve as a reference for similar studies aimed at understanding the importance of personal Religion-Spirituality-Religiosity and connect this with the performance of religious tourism, particularly in developing countries analogous to that of the emerging nation as characterized by Brazil.

description: The present study analyses in a holistic and multidisciplinary approach the motivations that tourists have to visit sacred places. The goal is to find out what are the key motivational factors that determine their choice. It supplies an extensive literature review focusing on the concept of motivations, which allows us to identify the main reasons that draw people to sites.

The fieldwork of this study includes pilgrims and or tourists at three sacred sites: Fátima (Portugal), Santiago de Compostela (Spain) and Jerusalem (Israel). Fieldwork includes surveys of 633 tourists from different religions visiting these symbolic places who belong to generations of Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials.

The results show the existence of a multidimensional scale that incorporates three dimensions of motivation to visit sacred places as tourist destinations: (1) Faith, (2) Personal enrichment and (3) Calling. However, due to the differences of generations - Baby Boomers, Generation X, and the Millennials - the importance and significance of each of those motivations for the tourists who visit these sacred places is different.

The present study has important implications for the marketing and planning of sacred destinations, particularly in the development of strategies of segmentation, targeting and positioning, through the disclosure of the differentiated characteristics valued by each age group of tourists.

description: We study the decay of entanglement of quantum dot electron-spin qubits under hyperfine interaction mediated decoherence. We show that two qubit entanglement of a single entangled initial state may exhibit decay characteristic of the two disentanglement regimes in a single sample, when the external magnetic field is changed. The transition is manifested by the supression of time-dependent entanglement oscillations which are superimposed on the slowly varying entanglement decay related to phase decoherence (which result in oscillatory behaviour of entanglement sudden death time as a function of the magnetic field). This unique behaviour allows us to propose the double quantum dot two-electron spin Bell state as a promising candidate for precise measurements of the magnetic field.

Prediction of ENSO: Model forecast skill and optimal error growth
Publisher: name: Climate Impacts Group
Year: 1996

The goal of this study is to explore the short-term climate predictability of tropical Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies on the seasonal, interannual, and decadal time scales. The simple coupled atmosphere-ocean model developed by Battisti is used to evaluate the predictability of ENSO. Singular vector analysis is employed. To identify the roles of the annual cycle and the interannual ENSO cycle in determining the model predictive skill and error growth, we examine the optimal perturbation growth about several reference trajectories. We systematically investigate the relationship between the model forecast skill and optimal error growth for 6-month integrations about the actual model forecast trajectory for the period of record 1967-90.In most of the cases investigated, there is only one structure that grows. The optimal perturbation growth is highly dependent on the phase of both the seasonal cycle and the ENSO cycle, and it is strongly dependent on the duration over which the perturbations are evolved. The maximum perturbation growth is achieved for integrations that pass through Northern summer, and the minimum growth takes place for integrations spanning Northern winter-early spring. The optimal perturbation growth for a 6-month integration starting in the peak phase or the cold phase of the ENSO cycle is generally small. The physical processes responsible for the phase dependence are identified. The initial and the final state patterns of the optimal perturbation, however, are both insensitive to the phase of the annual cycle and freely evolving ENSO cycle, and to the particular regions of phase space visited by the system. The structure of the optimal perturbation consists of an east-west dipole spanning the entire tropical Pacific basin, superimposed on a north-south dipole in the eastern tropical Pacific, and this structure has a simple physical interpretation.There is a strong negative correlation between this model's forecast skill and the optimal error growth about the actual forecast trajectories, implying that the optimal error growth is in practice a useful indicator of the skill of the forecasts. Importantly, a large portion of the forecast error may be accounted for by the growth of the optimal errors in the sea surface temperature in the initial conditions alone. This suggests a need for a higher accuracy in observations of equatorial sea surface temperature. On the other hand, in about 4% of the forecasts, the optimal error growth in SST alone is insufficient to explain the poor forecast skill, suggesting that for these extreme cases, there are possible serious flaws in the model physics.Finally, the seasonality of the model forecast skill and the optimal error growth exhibits a phase shift of 2-3 months from the pre-1976 to the post-1976 epochs. This decadal change is largely determined by the change in the actual forecast trajectories about which the errors are allowed to develop and not by a decadal change in the average annual cycle.

description: The patterns of life exhibited by large populations have been described and modeled both as a basic science exercise and for a range of applied goals such as reducing automotive congestion, improving disaster response, and even predicting the location of individuals. However, these studies previously had limited access to conversation content, rendering changes in expression as a function of movement invisible. In addition, they typically use the communication between a mobile phone and its nearest antenna tower to infer position, limiting the spatial resolution of the data to the geographical region serviced by each cellphone tower. We use a collection of 37 million geolocated tweets to characterize the movement patterns of 180,000 individuals, taking advantage of several orders of magnitude of increased spatial accuracy relative to previous work. Employing the recently developed sentiment analysis instrument known as the 'hedonometer', we characterize changes in word usage as a function of movement, and find that expressed happiness increases logarithmically with distance from an individual's average location.

The role of North Atlantic deep water formation in the thermohaline circulation
Publisher: name: Climate Impacts Group
Year: 2000

An ocean general circulation model is used to explore the global ocean thermohaline circulation. North Atlantic Deep Water formation is an important component of this system and the role of this process in the ventilation, structure and variability of all the world ocean basins is studied. The production of deep water in the north Atlantic Ocean has profound effects on and around the Atlantic basin, and limited effects at certain locations downstream. A distinction is drawn between upwelling (the vertical motion of water parcels) and de-densification (the addition of buoyancy): upwelling in the model occurs primarily in the Southern Ocean and de-densification occurs mainly in the tropics between 30°S and 30°N.There are two different time-scales associated with changes in the rate of NADW formation. The adjustment time scale is quite fast, on the order of 25 years, and this is the time scale on which the overturning and heat transport in the Atlantic respond to changes in the high-latitude surface forcing. Boundary layer waves connect all three northern ocean basins and all location begin to feel a change in the rate of NADW production within 25 years. The advective time scale is much slower, on the order of 300--1000 years. The Indian and Pacific Ocean are only slightly changed by the presence or absence of NADW production in the model.

description: Stick-slip -- the sequence of mechanical instabilities through which a slider advances on a solid substrate -- is pervasive throughout sliding friction, from nano to geological scales. Here we suggest that trapped cold ions in an optical lattice can also be of help in understanding stick-slip friction, and also the way friction changes when one of the sliders undergoes structural transitions. For that scope, we simulated the dynamical properties of a 101-ions chain, driven to slide back and forth by a slowly oscillating electric field in an incommensurate periodic "corrugation" potential of increasing magnitude U0. We found the chain sliding to switch, as U0 increases and before the Aubry transition, from a smooth-sliding regime with low dissipation to a stick-slip regime with high dissipation. In the stick-slip regime the onset of overall sliding is preceded by precursor events consisting of partial slips of few ions only, leading to partial depinning of the chain, a nutshell remnant of precursor events at the onset of motion also observed in macroscopic sliders. Seeking to identify the possible effects on friction of a structural transition, we reduced the trapping potential aspect ratio until the ion chain shape turned from linear to zigzag. Dynamic friction was found to rise at the transition, reflecting the opening of newer dissipation channels.

description: By accenting the tourism industry as one of the most valuable sectors for prosperity and appreciating its potential in new social-economic reforms, the administration of the Republic of Uzbekistan has been making visible steps for its development. Particularly religious tourism and pilgrimage are noted as offering opportunities for modernisation in a global world. Carrying a major geographical role in the connection of main trade routes between East and West, the country became the crossroad of civilisation and religious diffusions. Consequently, with new religious tourism and pilgrimage flows: following the earliest dominating beliefs of Zoroastrianism, and its New Age followers; being the historical homeland of Bukharian Jews; being attractive to representatives of Mahayana Buddhism from the East Asian continent and; containing shrines primarily from the Islamic cultural renaissance, could all make it an attractive destination.

The distances between these destinations requires an input of investment in infrastructure to provide easy access by air and land. A commitment and elaboration of food preferences, and arrangement of suitable accommodation options along with media advertisement abroad, would create diversity of supply and competitive advantages in global tourism market.

description: The top squark (stop) may dominantly decay to a bottom quark and a chargino if the mass difference between the stop and the lightest neutralino is comparable or less than the top quark mass. Such a moderately compressed spectrum is a challenging scenario for the stop search at the Large Hadron Collider, because it is difficult to separate the signals from the top and anti-top background. In this paper we focus on the di-leptonic decay channel, and consider many kinematic variables as possible discriminators. These include several MT2 variables and new "compatible-masses" variables which fully utilize all kinematic information of the background. We use several sample spectra with different characteristics to study the efficiencies of these variables in distinguishing the signal from the background. The finding is that different combinations of variables or strategies should be used for different spectra to maximally enhance the signal significance and expand the reach of the stop search in this scenario. The new variables that we proposed in this paper are also useful for other new physics searches with di-leptonic top and anti-top events as the dominant background.

description: Since ancient times and throughout history, religious sentiment has been one of the motives for people undertaking pilgrimages, seeking to communicate with the divine in sacred places. Travelling for religious reasons fulfilled a spiritual need and their undertaking was considered to be a redeeming action.

It is indeed difficult to identify any other human activity so widespread in space and so resilient in time as undertaking a pilgrimage to shrines. Since antiquity there has been a firm belief that praying or fulfilling one’s religious tasks is more efficient when it takes place in specific sites: in places where gods or saints were born, spent a part of their lives, died or performed miracles, in areas with statues, cathedrals, churches, relics of saints and miracle icons or in sites where the most important events of the history of each religion took place.

Many of the Christian pilgrimages are associated with the Holy Mother of God (Theotokos). In Greece, shrines monasteries and churches have been established in areas related with the miracles performed by the Virgin Mary (Panagia or the All Holy One in Greek). Apart from the basic Marian feast days, the life of the church and folk piety have added many more, which are associated with the Virgin Mary, the Miracle- Worker, or the foundation of churches dedicated to the Mother of God, or the finding of miracle-working icons portraying the Virgin Mary. Almost everywhere in Greece one can find a miraculous icon representing the Mother of God, each one with its own history and legends, which creates a mystical experience. Moreover, many of these pilgrimages are significant cultural monuments and attract tourists’ interest.

This paper describes some of the main Marian pilgrimages in Greece as well as their management agencies and techniques in order to enhance travellers’ experience.

description: We define and study the degeneration property for BV-infinity algebras and show that it implies that the underlying L-infinity algebras are homotopy abelian. The proof is based on a generalisation of the well-known identity Δ(e^x)=e^x(Δ(x)+[x,x]/2) which holds in all BV algebras. As an application we show that the higher Koszul brackets on the cohomology of a manifold supplied with a generalised Poisson structure all vanish.

title: Rediscovering the Walisongo, Indonesia: A potential new destination for international pilgrimage
Creators: name: Fournie, Pierre
Publisher: name: Dublin Institute of Technology
Year: 2019

description: The current paper explores the tradition of Walisongo, the nine saints or nine friends of God, that according to tradition initiated the islamisation of Java in the XV and XVI centuries. Largely unknown outside of Indonesia, the Wali Songo pilgrimage remains unfamiliar in the archipelago as well.

Besides allowing a deeper understanding of the roots of Indonesian religious history and of the spread and acceptance of Islam, rediscovering the Wali Songo may help to reintroduce a peaceful image of the Muslim world. In such a way, reactivating the tradition of Wali Songo outside of the country but also inside, may support the idea of a peaceful religion of traders, of scholars and culture lovers open and able to integrate the traditions of other cultural groups. The Wali Songo are said to be at the origin of pesantren (Muslim religious schools) and largely used local arts and culture in their teachings.

In an area of Central and East Java where minority groups may tend to impose the views of a reformist not to say a rigorist Islam, the Wali Songo teachings may offer a ‘new common vehicle’, a synonym of understanding, peace and cultural respect.

If the development of international pilgrimage activity would suppose the setting up of proper infrastructures, to do so, may also boost new areas of services that would definitely support regional developments in the largest archipelago of the world and in a country that, besides being laic and governed by the principles of Pancasila, is before all the country worldwide with the largest number of Muslim citizens.

In a planet currently governed by globalization, the origins of the Wali Songo, which are still relevant, if discussed, would demonstrate that ideas and religions can be shared, peacefully, across the land and seas.
MAGIICAT I. The MgII Absorber-Galaxy Catalog

description: We describe the MgII Absorber-Galaxy Catalog, MAGIICAT, a compilation of 182 spectroscopically identified intermediate redshift (0.07 < z < 1.1) galaxies with measurements of MgII 2796, 2803 absorption from their circumgalactic medium within projected distances of 200 kpc from background quasars. In this work, we present "isolated" galaxies, which are defined as having no spectroscopically identified galaxy within a projected distance of 100 kpc and a line of sight velocity separation of 500 km/s. We standardized all galaxy properties to the Lambda CDM cosmology and galaxy luminosities, absolute magnitudes, and rest-frame colors to the B- and K-band on the AB system. We present galaxy properties and rest-frame MgII equivalent width, Wr(2796), versus galaxy redshift. The well-known anti-correlation between Wr(2796) and quasar-galaxy impact parameter, D, is significant to the 8 sigma level. The mean color of MAGIICAT galaxies is consistent with an Sbc galaxy for all redshifts. We also present B- and K-band luminosity functions for different Wr(2796) and redshift subsamples: "weak absorbing" [Wr(2796) < 0.3 Ang], "strong absorbing" [Wr(2796) > 0.3 Ang], low redshift (z < zmed), and high redshift (z > zmed), where zmed = 0.359 is the median galaxy redshift. Rest-frame color B-K correlates with M_K at the 8 sigma level for the whole sample but is driven by the strong absorbing, high redshift subsample (6 sigma). Using M_K as a proxy for stellar mass and examining the luminosity functions, we infer that in lower stellar mass galaxies, MgII absorption is preferentially detected in blue galaxies and the absorption is more likely to be weak.

title: Religious tourism vs. sacred space experience: conflict or complementary interaction
Creators: name: Duda, Tomasz

description: Contemporary religious tourism, which in many cases is incorrectly identified with the phenomenon of pilgrimage, has developed in recent years as a separate form of migration and activity in the tourism space. However, in the literature of the subject, there is a large variety of problem perspectives, depending on the viewpoint chosen by the given author and the scientific discipline that he/she represents. The most frequently occurring problem is the terminological ambiguity regarding the concepts of ‘religious tourism’ and ‘pilgrimage’. The aim of this article is to draw attention to the diversity of understanding of the sacred space presented by its users, as well as the relations between non-religious aspects (profanum) of a sacred place and the essence thereof – the sacrum. The authors have attempted to answer the questions of whether the contemporary experience of sacred spaces affects (and how) the experience of the sacrum and whether or not the elements of profanum stand in opposition to the perception of sanctity of the pilgrimage site; as well as to attempt forming an analytical look at the importance of the terms in question in light of the contemporary research on traveling to sacred sites, and to draw attention to the manner of perceiving such a site through the form of migration and stay in the given place.

description: The quasi-static solutions of the matter density perturbation in $F(R)$ gravity models have been investigated in numerous papers. However, the oscillating solutions in $F(R)$ gravity models have not been investigated enough so far. In this paper, the oscillating solutions are also examined by using appropriate approximations. And the behaviors of the matter density perturbation in F(R) gravity models with singular evolutions of the physical parameters are shortly investigated as applications of the approximated calculations.

Contrasting Elastic Properties of Heavily B- and N-doped Graphene, with Random Distributions Including Aggregates

description: We focused on elastic properties of B- and N-doped graphene in wide range of concentrations up to 20%. The Young's, bulk and shear moduli and Poisson's ratio have been calculated by means of the density functional theory for a representative set of supercells with disordered impurity patterns including aggregates. In contrast to earlier work, it is demonstrated that doping with nitrogen even strengthens the graphene layers, whereas incorporation of boron induces large structural and morphological changes seen in simulated STM images. Young's and shear moduli increase or decrease with the doping strength for nitrogen or boron, respectively, while bulk modulus and Poisson's ratio exhibit opposite trends. Elastic properties of samples for both types of impurities are strongly related to the electronic structures, especially for heavy doping (>12%). Local arrangements of dopants and an agregation or separation of impurities play crucial role in the determination of stiffness in the investigated systems. Interestingly, these findings are opossed for B- and N-contained samples.

description: We study Borromean 2n-halo nuclei using effective field theory. We compute the universal scaling function that relates the mean-square matter radius of the 2n halo to dimensionless ratios of two- and three-body energies. We use the experimental value of the rms matter radius of 22C measured by Tanaka et al. to put constraints on its 2n separation energy and the 20C-n virtual energy. We also explore the consequences of these constraints for the existence of excited Efimov states in this nucleus. We find that, for 22C to have an rms matter radius within 1-sigma of the experimental value, the two-neutron separation energy of 22C needs to be below 100 keV. Consequently, this three-body halo system can have an excited Efimov state only if the 20C-n system has a resonance within 1 keV of the scattering threshold.
