description: We report on the importance of GW self-energy corrections for the electronic structure of light actinides in the weak-to-intermediate coupling regime. Our study is based on calculations of the band structure and total density of states of Np, U, and Pu using a one-shot GW approximation that includes spin-orbit coupling within a full potential LAPW framework. We also present RPA screened effective Coulomb interactions for the f-electron orbitals for different lattice constants, and show that there is an increased contribution from electron-electron correlation in these systems for expanded lattices. We find a significant amount of electronic correlation in these highly localized electronic systems.

Thermoelectric Effect of Correlated Metals - Band Structure Effects and the Breakdown of Mott's Formula

description: We study the thermoelectric effect of two-dimensional metals on a square lattice within semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory with particular focus on electron-electron scattering. We compute the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient as a function of band filling and temperature for generically chosen hopping parameters in a two-dimensional tight-binding model. The Boltzmann equation is solved numerically after computing the full collision integral, taking the angular and radial degrees of freedom into account. These degrees of freedom of the collision integral, neglected in the standard single-relaxation-time approximation, play an important role if the transport coefficients show unconventional features. Within our detailed numerical simulation, we show that the widely used Mott formula to compute the Seebeck effect is not sufficient to describe the thermoelectric effect in the presence of strong electron-electron scattering. Furthermore, we study the Seebeck coefficient and its temperature dependence in the vicinity of a Lifshitz transition and demonstrate that it shows remarkable parallels to transport features near a quantum critical point.

Counting Photons in Static Electric and Magnetic Fields

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe the electromagnetic field by the massless limit of a massive vector field in the presence of a Coulomb gauge fixing term. The gauge fixing term ensures that, in the massless limit, the longitudinal mode is removed from the spectrum and only the two transverse modes survive. The system, coupled to a classical conserved current, is quantized in the canonical formalism. The classical field configurations due to time-independent electric charges and currents are represented by coherent states of longitudinal and transverse photons, respectively. The occupation number in these states is finite. In particular, the number of longitudinal photons bound by an electric charge q is given by N=q^2/(16π\hbar).

title: Studies on the enantioselectivity of bacterial lactonases
Creators: name: Onakunle, Ojo Adegboyega
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: Owing to their biological significance, increased efforts are being directed towards the production of lactones in optically pure form. One method of synthesis is via a microbial equivalent of the Baeyer-Villiger reaction. This reaction is common in microorganisms possessing a monooxygenase enzyme which is induced as part of the catabolic machinery responsible for the assimilation of cyclic alcohols or ketones. The stoichiometric requirement for NADPH as cofactor, however, makes this enzyme uneconomical for implementation on an industrial scale. Microorganisms in which the monooxygenase enzyme have been induced also possess a lactone hydrolase (lactonase) enzyme which is responsible for the hydrolysis of formed lactones to hydroxy acids. It is the aim of this project to investigate the potential for the use of these lactonases for the optical resolution of racemic lactones in a bid to produce the latter in optically pure form. Three inducible lactonases; 8-valerolactone hydrolase from Pseudomonas NCIMB 9872 grown on cyclopentanol, e-caprolactone hydolase from Acinetobacter NCIMB 9871 grown on cyclohexanol and s-caprolactone hydrolase from Rhodococcus coprophilus WT1 grown on cyclohexanol were selected for study. Growth studies, conducted in order to optimise lactonase production in each of the bacteria, revealed that in all three microorganisms, lactonase activity was induced throughout growth. High speed supernatants bearing the enzyme of interest were tested with a range of y- (5-membered ring), 8- (6-membered ring) and s- (7-membered ring) lactones. These lactonases only showed activity towards (8- and s-) lactones. Enantioselectivity studies using 8-decanolactone as substrate showed 8-valerolactone hydrolase from Pseudomonas NCIMB 9872 to have the greatest enantioselectivity with a %enantiomeric excess after 60% transformation for residual lactone of greater than 98%. The lactonases from Acinetobacter NCIMB 9871 and R. coprophilus WT1 only showed modest enantioselectivity towards this substrate with 6% and 15% enantiomeric excess after 60% transformation for residual substrate respectively. 8-Valerolactone hydrolase was purified from high speed supernatant fractions of Pseudomonas NCIMB 9872 using a two step purification procedure involving anion exchange chromatography and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. This enzyme is a monomer with molecular weight of approximately 28kda and an isoelectric point of about 4.5. Kinetic studies indicate that this enzyme obeys classical Michaelis-Menten kinetics, has a pH optimum of about 7.5 and a temperature optimum between 28 and 30°C. In addition the first 15 amino acid residues starting at the NH2 terminus are reported. Inhibitor studies suggest that this enzyme does not depend on sulfhydryl groups for its activity. However, there is a metal ion dependency since EDTA and citrate inhibited lactonase activity.

description: Five dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory is described from the historical viewpoint. This theory is then generalised firstly for a non-Abelian group and then for the specific group SU(2) x U(1). The calculation of the scalar curvature of the extended manifold is performed using Cartan's structure equations. The role of Killing vectors is heavily emphasized in this treatment. Using certain results from this calculation an eight dimensional Dirac equation is derived and then simplified. Each term in the equation is then discussed. The thesis ends with some concluding remarks.

Under the assumptions made, this conformally invariant wave operator is unique. The corresponding conformally invariant wave equation can be obtained from a Lagrangian which is explicitly given. We discuss how our result compares to previous works, in particular we hope to clarify the situation between conflicting results.

description: This paper examines whether the expansion of working from home led to a more equal division of domestic work during the pandemic. We use unique data of dual-earner heterosexual couples gathered during the first lockdown in the UK when workers were required to work from home by law. Results reveal that mothers were likely to be carrying out a larger share of domestic work both before and during the lockdown. When fathers worked from home, compared to those going into work, a more equitable division was found for cleaning and routine childcare. Furthermore, homeworking fathers were up to 3.5 times more likely to report that they increased the time they spent on childcare during the lockdown compared to before. However, we also found evidence of homeworking mothers having increased their time spent on domestic work, and doing a larger share of routine childcare, compared to mothers going into work. Overall, the study shows that when working from home is normalised through law and practice, it may better enable men to engage more in domestic work, which can in turn better support women’s labour market participation. However, without significant changes to our work cultures and gender norms, homeworking still has the potential to enable or maintain a traditional division of labour, further exacerbating gender inequality patterns both at home and in the labour market.

Strong-field ionization of He by elliptically polarized light in attoclock configuration

description: We perform time-dependent calculations of strong-field ionization of He by elliptically polarized light in configuration of recent attoclock measurements of Boge {\em et al} [PRL {\bf 111}, 103003 (2013)]. By solving a 3D time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we obtain the angular offset $θ_m$ of the maximum in the photoelectron momentum distribution in the polarization plane relative to the position predicted by the strong field approximation. This offset is used in attoclock measurements to extract the tunneling time. Our calculations clearly support the set of experimental angular offset values obtained with the use of non-adiabatic calibration of the {\em in situ} field intensity, and disagree with an alternative set calibrated adiabatically. These findings are in contrast with the conclusions of Boge {\em et al} who found a qualitative agreement of their semiclassical calculations with the adiabatic set of experimental data. This controversy may complicate interpretation of the recent atto-clock measurements.

The systems are modelled as collections of coupled harmonic oscillators which are kept at different equilibrium temperatures and are connected via arbitrary time dependent couplings. Following consistent quantum framework and two-time measurement concept we obtain analytical expressions for the generalized cumulant generating function. We discuss transient and steady-state fluctuation theorems for the transferred quantities. We also address the effect of coupling strength on the exchange fluctuation theorem.

description: Die vorliegende literaturbasierte Bachelorarbeit hat zum Thema, inwieweit Fachkräfte der Sozialen Arbeit für die Begleitung von trauernden Kindern bei Geschwisterverlust geeignet sind. Die Relevanz des Themas beruht auf dem anhaltenden noch geringen Forschungsstand. Es wird auf die Besonderheit einer Geschwisterbeziehung eingegangen und die lebenslangen Auswirkungen dieses Verlustes auf Gegenwart, Vergangenheit und Zukunft des Geschwisters dargestellt. Die kindliche Trauerarbeit ist durch ihren Nicht- Ausdruck, Trauerpausen und Trauerpfützen einzigartig. Ziel war es, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Sozialen Arbeit bei der Begleitung von trauernden Kindern nach einem Geschwisterverlust herauszuarbeiten. Insgesamt lässt sich festhalten, dass Sozialarbeitende durch ihre Profession mit ihrem Fachwissen, ihren Fachkompetenzen und der wertschätzenden Haltung fähig sind, Kinder in ihrer Trauer zu begleiten. Dies wird auf Grundlage der Trauermodelle von Worden und Paul und den daraus ableitbaren Interventionen gezeigt. Jedoch sind der Handlungsfähigkeit der Sozialen Arbeit auch Grenzen, die ebenso thematisiert und sichtbar gemacht werden, gesetzt.

description: This literature-based bachelor's thesis deals with the extent to which social work professionals are suitable for accompanying grieving children in the event of sibling loss. The relevance of the topic is based on the still low level of research. The special nature of a sibling relationship is addressed and the lifelong effects of this loss on the present, past and future of the sibling are presented. Childhood grief work is unique in its non-expression, pauses for mourning, and puddles of grief. The goal was to identify the possibilities and limitations of social work in assisting grieving children after a sibling loss. Overall, it can be stated that social workers are able to accompany children in their grief through their profession with their specialized knowledge, professional competencies and appreciative attitude. This is shown on the basis of the grief models of Worden and Paul and the interventions that can be derived from them. However, there are also limits to the ability of social work to act, which are also discussed and made visible. Keywords: social work, sibling loss, grief counseling, children, siblings

description: The usual way to reveal properties of an unknown quantum state, given many copies of a system in that state, is to perform measurements of different observables and to analyze the measurement results statistically. Here we show that the unknown quantum state can play an active role in its own analysis. In particular, given multiple copies of a quantum system with density matrix ρ, then it is possible to perform the unitary transformation e^{-iρt}. As a result, one can create quantum coherence among different copies of the system to perform quantum principal component analysis, revealing the eigenvectors corresponding to the large eigenvalues of the unknown state in time exponentially faster than any existing algorithm.

description: We study the representation of systems S of linear equations over the two-element field (aka xor- or parity-constraints) via conjunctive normal forms F (boolean clause-sets). First we consider the problem of finding an "arc-consistent" representation ("AC"), meaning that unit-clause propagation will fix all forced assignments for all possible instantiations of the xor-variables. Our main negative result is that there is no polysize AC-representation in general. On the positive side we show that finding such an AC-representation is fixed-parameter tractable (fpt) in the number of equations. Then we turn to a stronger criterion of representation, namely propagation completeness ("PC") --- while AC only covers the variables of S, now all the variables in F (the variables in S plus auxiliary variables) are considered for PC. We show that the standard translation actually yields a PC representation for one equation, but fails so for two equations (in fact arbitrarily badly). We show that with a more intelligent translation we can also easily compute a translation to PC for two equations. We conjecture that computing a representation in PC is fpt in the number of equations.

The Impact of Increased SNAP Benefits on Childhood Obesity: Examining the Natural Experiment Resulting from the 2009-2013 ARRA SNAP Benefit Increase
Creators: name: Jáuregui, Elena
Publisher: name: University of Chicago

description: Childhood obesity is a public health concern of epidemic proportions in the United States. The US federal and state governments have numerous programs in place to improve nutritional and health outcomes; these initiatives are often intertwined with poverty assistance. One such program is SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Action Program), which is meant to provide the necessary supplementary income for families at or below 130% of the federal poverty threshold to afford a nutritious diet. A 2009-2013 increase of 13.6% in SNAP benefits as part of the ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) provided a perfect natural experiment with which to investigate a potential causal relationship between the amount of SNAP benefits and childhood obesity prevalence in low-income populations. Using 2003-2016 data from NHANES (the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey), I calculated cross sectional childhood obesity prevalence for each NHANES cycle in children and adolescents ages 2-19. Using these statistics for SNAP recipients and a near-eligible comparison population with subgroups by age, gender, and race/ethnicity, I ran difference-in-differences analyses in both R and Stata to examine the impact of the ARRA SNAP increase on childhood obesity rates. Trend differences between SNAP recipients and the comparison population in the overall 2-19 age group were not statistically significant. In subgroup analyses, the regressions of boys’ data and the 4-10 age group were the only two which approached statistical significance: in these groups, SNAP recipients were less likely to be obese than their non-SNAP low-income counterparts. In fact, for all but the 2-4 age group, I found SNAP participation to be negatively correlated with obesity prevalence. However, none of these relationships were statistically significant (not even in boys or the 4-10 age group), with many having p-values above 0.5. Given these results, I conclude that while there are indications that the ARRA SNAP benefit increase may have had positive effects on childhood obesity in certain groups, the high level of standard error in these data prevent such interpretation. I conclude that the ARRA SNAP benefit increase did not impact obesity rates in children ages 2-19 to a statistically significant level, a result which held for all age, gender, and racial/ethnic groups analyzed. As such, my policy recommendations involved investment in research regarding the expansion of SNAP-Ed and the indefinite extension of the COVID-19 P-EBT.

description: The large-scale structure of the Universe is characterised by a web-like structure made of voids, sheets, filaments, and knots. The structure of this so-called cosmic web is dictated by the local velocity shear tensor. In particular, the local direction of a filament should be strongly aligned with e3, the eigenvector associated with the smallest eigenvalue of the tensor. That conjecture is tested here on the basis of a cosmological simulation. The cosmic web delineated by the halo distribution is probed by a marked point process with interactions (the Bisous model), detecting filaments directly from the halo distribution (P-web). The detected P-web filaments are found to be strongly aligned with the local e3: the alignment is within 30 degree for 80% of the elements. This indicates that large-scale filaments defined purely from the distribution of haloes carry more than just morphological information, although the Bisous model does not make any prior assumption on the underlying shear tensor. The P-web filaments are also compared to the structure revealed from the velocity shear tensor itself (V-web). In the densest regions, the P- and V-web filaments overlap well (90%), whereas in lower density regions, the P-web filaments preferentially mark sheets in the V-web.

Textual Analysis
Crisis

description: Recently, ASEAN as a region faced another crisis since the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, which is the COVID-19 pandemic. There were several reports regarding the response in the member-state level wherein efforts are still “to each of its own” mentality as member-states resort to different approaches ranging from proactive ones to “draconian" ones (IID, 2020), and the need to maintain their relationships with the superpowers amid the pandemic (Wangkiat, 2022), while there were some regarding ordinary people coping with the situation mostly in the socio-economic aspect (Morgan and Trinh, 2021). More than ninety percent (90%) have felt that the pandemic has influenced their lives and three of the top five ways in coping with stress brought about by the pandemic is related to spending more time on their smartphones either through playing games, communicating through social media, or watching videos (Ito, 2020). In line with promoting shared culture and giving respect to it by recognition of its unity in diversity, the proposed study mainly focuses on understanding an interesting topic such as humor through stand-up comedy in the context of selected ASEAN member-states during a time of crisis faced by the region, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic. From the analyses on both the stand-up comedians as performers in the video and the audiences both live and online through social media it was found out that humor in selected ASEAN member-states during a period of crisis are "glocal" -- global in approach yet local in context, both a venue and an avenue for development, and a creative space for (virtual) ASEAN community-building.

description: Biological and conventional control can yield similar economic returns to pest control expenditures. Finding is based on economic feasibility study of using the parasitic wasp, Pediobius foveolatus, in place of conventional insecticides to control Mexican bean beetle on soybeans. Insect scouting in conjunction with use of the parasite is also compared with conventional control. Widespread use of the parasite to control the beetle could reduce use of insecticides without compromising soybean producers' revenues.

description: We consider the consistent deformation of the relativistic quantum mechanics introducing the noncommutativity of the space-time and preserving the Lorentz symmetry. The relativistic wave equation describing the spinning particle on coordinate dependent noncommutative space-time (noncommutative Dirac equation) is proposed. The fundamental properties of this equation, like the Lorentz covariance and the continuity equation for the probability density are verified. To this end using the properties of the star product we derive the corresponding probability current density and prove its conservation. The energy-momentum tensor for the free noncommutative spinor field is calculated. We solve the free noncommutative Dirac equation and show that the standard energy-momentum dispersion relation remains valid in the noncommutative case.

On spontaneous breaking of conformal symmetry by probe flavour D-branes

description: We explore the possibilities of breaking conformal symmetry spontaneously by introducing flavour branes into conformal holographic backgrounds in the probe limit. A prototype model of such a mechanism is based on placing D7 - anti-D7 configuration in the Klebanov-Witten conifold based model. In this paper we generalize this model. We conjecture on the required topology of the backgrounds and the corresponding probe brane embeddings. We identify several models that obey these requirements and admit spontaneous breaking of conformal invariance. These include type IIB conifold based examples, dual to defect field theories based on the conifold, and type IIA constructions based on the ABJM model. We identify the dilaton, the corresponding Goldstone boson, discuss its effective action and address the "a-term". We briefly discuss the relevance of these models to the pseudo dilaton.

description: Успіх зовнішньоекономічної діяльності залежить від вирішення проблем виробництва конкурентоспроможної продукції у потрібних обсягах, розвитку інфраструктури для забезпечення експорту продукції сільського господарства та переробної промисловості, а також від виходу країни на нові ринки, тобто від розширення географії експорту. Метою статті є аналіз українського експорту сільськогосподарської продукції задля визначення ефективних шляхів організації та управління збутом аграрної продукції на зовнішніх ринках. Розкрито напрями підвищення ефективності збутової діяльності аграрних підприємств. Оцінено динаміку обсягів експорту та імпорту товарів усіх видів в Україні. Виявлено, відносне обвальне зниження експорту України за видами товарів у січні-серпні 2018 року порівняно з аналогічним періодом минулого року. Здійснено аналіз географічної структури експорту сільськогосподарської продукції України та виявлено, що найбільшим її імпортером є країни Азії та Африки. Розкрито основні тенденції експортних операцій по окремих культурах аграрного виробництва та встановлено, що найбільшим імпортером пшениці є Індонезія та Єгипет, ячменю – Саудівська Аравія та Китай. Обґрунтовано можливі напрями підвищення ефективності збуту продукції аграрного сектора. На основі проведеного аналізу експортних операцій визначено, що Україна має значний потенціал та можливості для нарощування експорту сільськогосподарської продукції та продуктів харчування, обсяги виробництва яких суттєво перевищують можливості внутрішнього споживчого ринку. На державному рівні запропоновано розробити та почати впроваджувати програму імпортозаміщення в аграрному секторі, яка стимулюватиме розвиток внутрішнього виробництва тих груп товарів, які можна виробляти на території України (велика рогата худоба, свині, птиця, молокопродукція, овочі та фрукти).

description: Reducing sedentary behavior (SB) in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is being increasingly recognized as a novel health target. Understanding healthcare professionals (HCPs) behavior that influences a reduction in SB in this population could facilitate achieving this target. To explore the determinants of behavior related to HCPs targeting a reduction in SB in people with COPD. We used a qualitative semi-structured interview approach informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). Sixteen HCPs were interviewed. Interview transcripts were mapped against the relevant TDF domain(s) and then higher order themes were generated. Directed content analysis resulted in mapping 949 quotes to the TDF domains with environmental context and resources being the most coded domain. Three higher order themes were identified: 1) HCPs need more knowledge on reducing SB; 2) Strategies suggested to include in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) to reduce SB; and 3) Barriers to adding SB to PR. Domains of environmental context and resources, knowledge, social/professional role and identity, reinforcement, social influences, skills and beliefs about capabilities were relevant to the study population to reduce SB in people with COPD. Knowledge of SB varied across participants. This study provided information on potential behavioral targets for future interventions that involve HCPs and aim to reduce SB among people with COPD.

description: The optimally doped 122 iron-based superconductor Ba(0.6)K(0.4)Fe2As2 has been studied by 57Fe Moessbauer spectroscopy versus temperature ranging from 4.2 K till 300 K with particular attention paid to the superconducting transition around 38 K. The spectra do not contain magnetic components and they exhibit quasi-continuous distribution of quadrupole split doublets. A distribution follows the electric field gradient (EFG) spatial modulation (wave) - EFGW. The EFGW is accompanied by some charge density wave (CDW) having about an order of magnitude lesser influence on the spectrum. The EFGW could be modeled as widely separated narrow sheets with the EFG increasing from small till maximum value almost linearly and subsequently dropping back to the original value in a similar fashion - across the sheet. One encounters very small and almost constant EFG between sheets. The EFGW shape and amplitude as well as the amplitude of CDW are strongly affected by a superconducting transition. All modulations are damped significantly at transition (38 K) and recover at a temperature being about 14 K lower. The maximum quadrupole splitting at 4.2 K amounts to about 2.1 mm/s, while the dispersion of CDW seen on the iron nuclei could be estimated far away from the superconducting gap opening and at low temperature as 0.5 el./a.u.^3. It drops to about 0.3 el./a.u.^3 just below transition to the superconducting state.
