description: We present low resolution (R = 500) near-infrared spectra of 46 candidate young stellar objects in the Chamaeleon I star-forming region recently detected in several deep photometric surveys of the cloud. Most of these stars have K < 12. In addition, we present spectra of 63 previously known southern hemisphere young stars mainly belonging to the Chamaeleon I and Lupus dark clouds. We describe near-infrared spectroscopic characteristics of these stars and use the water vapor indexes to derive spectral types for the new objects. Photometric data from the literature are used to estimate the bolometric luminosities of all sources. We apply D'Antona & Mazzitelli (1998) pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks and isocrones to derive masses and ages. We detect two objects with mass below the H burning limit among the 46 new candidates. One of this object (PMK99 IR Cha INa1) is the likely driving source of a bipolar outflow in the northern region of the cloud.

description: We investigate the spectroscopic magnetic excitations in molecular magnets with complex intermediate structure among the magnetic ions. Our approach consists in introducing a modified spin Hamiltonian that allows for discrete coupling parameters accounting for all energetically favorable spatial distributions of the valence electrons along the exchange bridges connecting the constituent magnetic ions. We discuss the physical relevance of the constructed Hamiltonian and derive its eigenvalues. The model is applied to explore the magnetic excitations of the tetrameric molecular magnet Ni$_4$Mo$_{12}$. Our results are in a very good agreement with the available experimental data. We show that the experimental magnetic excitations in the named tetramer can be traced back to the specific geometry and complex chemical structure of the exchange bridges leading to the splitting and broadness of the peaks centered about 0.5 meV and 1.7 meV.

description: Defining the optimal gestational weight gain (optGWG) allowing to have “normal shaped” babies (10% of Small for gestational age, SGA, and10% of large LGA babies) in severe obese women (pre-pregnancy BMI ≥40 kg/m2). South-Reunion University’s maternity (Reunion Island, Indian Ocean). 20 year-observational cohort study (2001–2019). Epidemiological perinatal data base with information on obstetrical and neonatal risk factors. All consecutive term (37–42 weeks gestation) singleton pregnancies (>21 weeks) live birth pregnancies delivered in the maternity. OptGWG to obtain newborns as close as possible of the 10% SGA/LGA goal for each BMI categories, 15–19.9, 20–24.9 …, as well as severe obese ≥40 kg/m2. Of the 71,318 singleton term live births (37 weeks onward), we could define the maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index and the GWG in of 61,764 patients (86.6%). Severe obese 40 kg/m2 losing 5–9.9 kg have 12.9% of LGA and 11.9% of SGA babies. Those losing 10 kg and more 12.7% of LGA and 7.3% of SGA. Our formerly proposed linear equation (validated from 15 to 40 kg/m2) may be prolonged at 45 kg/m2.  
opGWG(kg)=−1.2pp BMI(Kg/m2)+42±2kg
 In our population, a 32 kg/m2 obese should gain 3.6 kg (instead of 5–9 kg, IOM 2009). A very obese 40 kg/m2 should lose 6 kg, and a severe obese 45 kg/m2 lose 12 kg.

Effective Hamiltonians for interacting superconducting qubits -- local basis reduction and the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An open question in designing superconducting quantum circuits is how best to reduce the full circuit Hamiltonian which describes their dynamics to an effective two-level qubit Hamiltonian which is appropriate for manipulation of quantum information. Despite advances in numerical methods to simulate the spectral properties of multi-element superconducting circuits, the literature lacks a consistent and effective method of determining the effective qubit Hamiltonian. Here we address this problem by introducing a novel local basis reduction method. This method does not require any ad hoc assumption on the structure of the Hamiltonian such as its linear response to applied fields. We numerically benchmark the local basis reduction method against other Hamiltonian reduction methods in the literature and report specific examples of superconducting qubits, including the capacitively-shunted flux qubit, where the standard reduction approaches fail. By combining the local basis reduction method with the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation we further extend its applicability to systems of interacting qubits and use it to extract both non-stoquastic two-qubit Hamiltonians and three-local interaction terms in three-qubit Hamiltonians.

Classic and emerging interactions ABSTRACT: The relationship existing between health and religion is innate. Legal systems started dealing with it since the first formulations about freedom of religion and right to health, in order to take care of the individual and collective needs. Taking this premise into account, the first part of the essay analyzes the classic interactions between health and religion, in which the latter replaces official medicine or prescribes harmful conduct. Consequently, legal systems have developed resolutive dialectics which can be applied to new specific cases brought by multiculturalism, like infibulation. In the second part, the essay examines the emerging interactions caused by a third party - the medical health personnel - owner of the duty of care and freedom of conscience, recreating the solutions offered by doctrine and law. Lastly, it focuses on the objections which can be moved by the medical health personnel, which are connected to early end-of-life dispositions (law n. 219/2017), proposing solutions to the lack of regulation left by the law.

description: Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has been rapidly urbanizing for many years. Current estimates from the UN are that urban population growth in East Africa is over 4% per year, while in Southern Africa, which has higher urbanization levels, the growth is estimated at 2%. Overall in East and Southern Africa (ESA), urban populations in the region are growing about 3% per year, but with great variability as these figures indicate. Rural populations, meanwhile, are estimated to be increasing only by 2% per year in East Africa and near zero in Southern Africa. Across ESA, rural populations are rising about 1% per year but again with much variation across countries and regions.

description: Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have been approved for the treatment of advanced tumors with defects in genes involved in homologous recombination repair (HRR), including cancers of the prostate, pancreas, breast, and ovary. In these advanced tumors, PARPi afford ‘synthetic lethality’ by blocking the PARP-associated repair pathway in cancer cells with HRR genetic mutations, resulting in chromosome instability and cellular apoptosis. According to the synthetic lethality theory, patients with a greater burden of genetic alterations, in proportion (relative quantity) or category, would have more satisfactory outcomes after PARPi administration. However, this issue remains obscure based on the existing sporadic evidence. We summarize the therapeutic effects of PARPi in advanced tumors with multiple HRR genetic mutations, and attempted to compare these results with those obtained for cancers with a single mutation. Limited evidence has provided a possibly encouraging response to PARPi among patients carrying multiple HRR genetic mutations compared with those with a single mutation (although the treatment effect was negative in some patients). Further research is needed to understand the role of PARPi in tumor cells with multiple HRR genetic mutations.

description: Recent evidence of exponential environmental degradation will demand a drastic shift in research and development toward exploiting alternative energy resources such as solar energy. Here, we report the successful low-cost and easily accessible synthesis of hybrid semiconductor@TiO2 nanotube photocatalysts. In order to realize its maximum potential in harvesting photons in the visible-light range, TiO2 nanotubes have been loaded with earth-abundant, low-band-gap fibrous red and black phosphorus (P). Scanning electron microscopy– and scanning transmission electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron microscopy, and UV–vis measurements have been performed, substantiating the deposition of fibrous red and black P on top and inside the cavities of 100-μm-long electrochemically fabricated nanotubes. The nanotubular morphology of titania and a vapor-transport technique are utilized to form heterojunctions of P and TiO2. Compared to pristine anatase 3.2 eV TiO2 nanotubes, the creation of heterojunctions in the hybrid material resulted in 1.5–2.1 eV photoelectrocatalysts. An enhanced photoelectrochemical water-splitting performance under visible light compared with the individual components resulted for the P@TiO2 hybrids. This feature is due to synergistically improved charge separation in the heterojunction and more effective visible-light absorption.

description: This paper uses real-options analysis to examine the investment and disinvestment decisions of dairy farmers in south-west Victoria when there is uncertainty in milk price and yield. By investment and disinvestment we mean purchase and sale of properties rather than investment in the capital stock of properties. Optimal entry and exit thresholds were calculated for four different sizes of dairy farms and compared to the results from a conventional approach. The model identified lower exit and higher entry thresholds than would be indicated by the conventional approach that ignores the uncertainty of prices and yields. Our empirical analysis illustrates how these decisions vary between different farm sizes even with a moderate degree of revenue volatility, a relatively small amount of sunk costs, and changes of other parameters. Our work provides better explanations for some important issues in dairy farm investment, in particular, the advantages that accrue to farmers by delaying decisions to enter or leave industries. The wider range of entry and exit thresholds helps explain the stickiness of adjustment of the dairy industry in the face of volatility of revenue and production.

description: Polyethersulfone (PES) is a polymeric permeable material used in ultrafiltration (UF) membranes due to its high thermomechanical and chemical stability. The hydrophobic nature of PES membranes renders them prone to fouling and restricts the practical applications of PES in the fabrication of water treatment membranes. The present study demonstrates a non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) approach to modifying PES membranes with different concentrations of discrete TiO 2 nanotubes (TNTs). Zeta potential and contact angle measurements showed enhanced hydrophilicity and surface negative charge in TNTs/PES nanocomposite membranes compared to unmodified PES membranes. To discern the antifouling and permeation properties of the TNTs/PES membranes, steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) wastewater obtained from the Athabasca oil sands of Alberta was used. The TiO 2 modified polymer nanocomposite membranes resulted in a higher organic matter rejection and water flux than the unmodified PES membrane. The addition of discrete TNTs at 1 wt% afforded maximum water flux (82 L/m 2 h at 40 psi), organic matter rejection (53.9%), and antifouling properties (29% improvement in comparison to pristine PES membrane). An enhancement in fouling resistance of TNTs/PES nanocomposite membranes was observed in flux recovery ratio experiments.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: This paper approaches biological and economic risks in association with strategic and tactical decisions on herbicide dose. Underlying sources of the risks investigated are weed seed bank density and the season-to-season variations in weather. In a simulation model these affect the interplay of dryland wheat crops, a selective post-emergence herbicide and wild oats for different economic and biological outcomes. For fixed and factor-adjusted herbicide dose strategies, our simulation model shows how weather variations result in measurable risks, expressed as cumulative probability distributions of herbicide efficacy, crop yields, changes in weed seed banks in the short and long runs, and economic benefits. Where it is possible to accurately determine the weed densities and weather factors for each spray application, a ‘best efficacy-targeting strategy’ (BETS) is defined. Simulated results with BETS, run with a long sequence of weather, are better than or equal to best fixed doses for any given weed density in terms of crop yields, weed seed bank reduction and long-run economic benefits. Compared to a strategy of continuous maximum doses, BETS allows for lower over-all herbicide use: 23% less with 128 weeds m-2, 58% less with 32 weeds, and 80% less with 8 weeds.

description: We have carried out Monte Carlo simulation of the fusion of bilayers of single chain amphiphiles which show phase behavior similar to that of biological lipids. The fusion mechanism we observe is very different from the ``stalk'' hypothesis. Stalks do form on the first stage of fusion, but they do not grow radially to form a hemifused state. Instead, stalk formation destabilizes the membranes and results in hole formation in the vicinity of the stalks. When holes in each bilayer nucleate spontaneously next to the same stalk, an incomplete fusion pore is formed. The fusion process is completed by propagation of the initial connection, the stalk, along the edges of the aligned holes.

description: We aimed to evaluate the effect of epidural analgesia (EA) on maternal and neonatal outcomes. We conducted a retrospective cohort database study on primiparous women who underwent a vacuum-assisted delivery (VAD) trial between 2005 and 2019 at a university-affiliated tertiary medical center. We compared women with and without the standard “one protocol” patient-controlled EA. The primary outcome was VAD failure. Secondary outcomes were maternal and neonatal morbidities. We performed univariate analysis, followed by multivariable logistic regression analysis to control for potential confounders. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Overall, 7042 primiparous women attempted VAD during the study period; 6238 (88.3%) and 804 (11.7%) women used and did not use EA, respectively. The VAD failure rate was significantly lower among women with than without EA use (2.5% vs. 4.2%, respectively, p < .01). On multivariable analysis, EA use was found to reduce the VAD failure rate (aOR, 0.05; 95% CI [0.01–0.49], p = .01). Notably, EA use was not associated with an increased rate of any maternal or neonatal adverse outcome (aOR, 1.01; 95% CI [0.8–1.27], p = .95 or aOR, 1.14 95% CI [0.89–1.45], p = .3, respectively). EA use in primiparous women is associated with lower rates of VAD failure without an increase in adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes.

description: We present a theoretical model that allows us to describe the polariton dynamics in a semiconductor microcavity at large densities, for the case of non-resonant excitation. Exciton-polariton scattering from a thermalized exciton reservoir is identified as the main mechanism for relaxation into the lower polariton states. A maximum in the polariton distribution that shifts towards lower energies with increasing pump-power or temperature is shown, in agreement with recent experiments. Above a critical pump-power, macroscopic occupancies (5 \times 10^4) can be achieved in the lowest energy polariton state. Our model predicts the possibility of Bose-Einstein Condensation of polaritons, driven by exciton-polariton interaction, at densities well below the saturation density for CdTe microcavities.

I rischi della bilateralità “diffusa” – 8. Un cenno finale. The "secondary” (yet not unimportant) effects of the pandemic on the Italian law and religion and its sources. The author explains the reasons why the limitations of freedom of worship have been an issue of secondary interest to him during the pandemic. He stresses how the topic should be examined indipendently, as the limitations have affected all the democratic freedoms. The pandemic has made it clear that religious freedom cannot be considered as a “special right”. As other foundamental rights, this should also be subject to reasonable accommodation. The pandemic has also allowed the scholars to consider using new types of administrative arrangements to replace the “classic” agreements between the State and the religious organisations (“concordati” and “intese”).

Photoluminescence of the incompressible Laughlin liquid: Excitons, charged excitons, and fractionally charged excitons
Creators: name: Wojs, Arkadiusz

description: The photoluminescence (PL) of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a high magnetic field is studied as a function of the filling factor and the separation d between the electron layer and the valence hole. Depending on the magnitude of d relative to the magnetic length lambda, two distinct regimes in the response of the 2DEG to the valence hole occur, with different elementary emission processes contributing to the PL spectrum. At dlambda ("weak coupling" regime), the hole decouples or binds one or two Laughlin quasielectrons to form fractionally charged excitons (FCX's). The binding energies as well as the emission energies and intensities of all X- and FCX states are calculated.

description: Multi-principal-element alloys, including high-entropy alloys, experience segregation or partially-ordering as they are cooled to lower temperatures. For Ti$_{0.25}$CrFeNiAl$_{x}$, experiments suggest a partially-ordered B2 phase, whereas CALculation of PHAse Diagrams (CALPHAD) predicts a region of L2$_{1}$+B2 coexistence. We employ first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) based electronic-structure approach to assess stability of phases of alloys with arbitrary compositions and Bravais lattices (A1/A2/A3). In addition, DFT-based linear-response theory has been utilized to predict Warren-Cowley short-range order (SRO) in these alloys, which reveals potentially competing long-range ordered phases. The resulting SRO is uniquely analyzed using concentration-waves analysis for occupation probabilities in partially-ordered states, which is then be assessed for phase stability by direct DFT calculations. Our results are in good agreement with experiments and CALPHAD in Al-poor regions ($x \le 0.75$) and with CALPHAD in Al-rich region ($0.75 \le {x} \le 1$), and they suggest more careful experiments in Al-rich region are needed. Our DFT-based electronic-structure and SRO predictions supported by concentration-wave analysis are shown to be a powerful method for fast assessment of competing phases and their stability in multi-principal-element alloys.

description: Rapidly increasing concentration in food manufacturing industries, particularly the merger and acquisition of big dairy companies, has heightened concerns about the exercise of market power in world markets, including dairy. Despite the significant concentration in the international dairy processing sector, previous trade liberalization analysis has all been done in the context of perfect competition and existing trade policy. With evolving trade rules, the impact of non-traditional intervention methods, such as export credit, may become of importance in international dairy markets. In this paper the significance of imperfect competition in analyzing world dairy trade is examined in the context of export subsidies and officially supported export credit.
First Principles Heisenberg Models of 2D magnetic materials: The Importance of Quantum Corrections to the Exchange Coupling

description: Magnetic materials are typically described in terms of the Heisenberg model, which provides an accurate account of thermodynamic properties when combined with first principles calculations. This approach is usually based on an energy mapping between density functional theory and a classical Heisenberg model. However, for two-dimensional systems the eigenenergies of the Heisenberg model may differ significantly from the classical approximation, which leads to modified expressions for exchange parameters. Here we demonstrate that density functional theory yields local magnetic moments that are in accordance with strongly correlated anti-ferromagnetic eigenstates of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian. This implies that density functional theory provides a description of these states that conforms with the quantum mechanical eigenstates of the model. We then provide expressions for exchange parameters based on a proper eigenstate mapping to the Heisenberg model and find that they are typically reduced by 10 % compared to a classical analysis. Finally, we calculate the corrections to critical temperature for magnetic ordering for a previously predicted set of two-dimensional ferromagnetic insulators and find that the inclusion of quantum effects may reduce the predictions of critical temperatures by up to 7 %.

description: Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is increasingly being used for disease diagnosis and environmental exposure assessment as a noninvasive method reducing the risk of exposure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the application of a new sample type of EBC in pneumonia by metabolomics and to explore differential metabolites and potential metabolic pathways. A case-control study was performed at the Peking University Third Hospital from August to December 2020. C-MS/MS analyses were performed on EBC samples using a UHPLC system. Totally 22 patients with pneumonia and 24 healthy controls were recruited. Using untargeted metabolomics based on LC-MS/MS analysis, 25 kinds of differential metabolites were found. Through a comprehensive analysis of the pathways in which the differential metabolites were located, the key pathway with the highest correlation with the difference of metabolites was taurine and hypotaurine metabolism. The study implicates that the hypotaurine/taurine metabolic pathway may play a role on the development of pneumonia through metabolism analysis on EBC and the 3-Sulfinoalanine may be used as a biomarker in the diagnosis of pneumonia.

subject: AWB Ltd.

description: This study is motivated by the suggestion that the objectives of the AWB Ltd have changed since semi-privatisation of the Australian Wheat Board under the Wheat Marketing Act, 1989. Conceptualising this change of objectives as a shift from revenue maximization to profit maximization, this study examines the impact of such a change on the pricing policies of a multi-market price-setting firm. More specifically, this study investigates, for two hypothetical objective functions, a risk averse firm’s price-setting behaviour in an “overseas” and a “domestic” market, given differing costs of supply, uncertain demand functions and differing price elasticities of demand in each market. The aim is to generate empirically testable hypotheses relating to the impact of a change of objectives on pricing behaviour.

description: Induction of labor is known to be safe and highly effective in low-risk women. However, only limited research considers the relative success rates of induction of labor among women with one or more obstetric comorbidities. Our objective was to determine if the risk of cesarean delivery after induction of labor (IOL) is increased in women with a spectrum of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy compared to women with normotensive pregnancies. We analyzed data from 1842 women undergoing IOL occurring at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia 2016–2018. We used multivariable log binomial models to estimate unadjusted and adjusted risk ratios (aRR) describing the association between hypertensive disorder diagnosis (preeclampsia with or without severe features, gestational hypertension, and chronic hypertension) and cesarean delivery, adjusting for demographics, pre-pregnancy conditions, and gestational age at delivery. Overall, 44% (n = 808) of women in our study were diagnosed with any hypertensive disorder. Among women with hypertensive disorders, 74% had a successful vaginal delivery after IOL as compared to 82% of women without a hypertensive disorder. In the fully adjusted model, women with preeclampsia with severe features (aRR: 1.6, 95% CI: (1.3, 2.0)) and chronic hypertension had the largest risk for cesarean delivery (aRR 1.3, 95% CI: 0.9, 1.7)) compared with women with a normotensive pregnancy. Our study suggests that while patients with certain hypertensive diagnoses may be at increased risk for cesarean delivery following IOL, most patients with hypertensive disorders were still able to undergo a successful vaginal delivery following IOL.

description: Currently, there are very few options for salinity management in low rainfall environments (less than <350mm annual rainfall). The challenge for salinity management in traditional farming systems, is to balance the profitability of annual crop based systems with sustainable high water using options and engineering solutions. This paper reviews literature on the potential profitability and water use of two developing perennial plant based systems (oil mallees and saltland pastures) and deep drainage, and the trade-off between water use and profitability objectives within these options as potential salinity management techniques.
