description: Semiconductor quantum dots provide a two-dimensional analogy for real atoms and show promise for the implementation of scalable quantum computers. Here, we investigate the charge configurations in a silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor double quantum dot tunnel coupled to a single reservoir of electrons. By operating the system in the few-electron regime, the stability diagram shows hysteretic tunnelling events that depend on the history of the dots charge occupancy. We present a model which accounts for the observed hysteretic behaviour by extending the established description for transport in double dots coupled to two reservoirs. We demonstrate that this type of device operates like a single-electron memory latch.

Among the isolated compounds, aguerin B (2) showed the most cytotoxic activity against MCF7 cell lines with IC50 value of 18.9 μM. Findings of this study could be useful for the development of new anticancer agents from nature.

description: We provide formulas for the degrees of the projections of the locus of square matrices with given rank from linear spaces spanned by a choice of matrix entries. The motivation for these computations stem from applications to `matrix rigidity'; we also view them as an excellent source of examples to test methods in intersection theory, particularly computations of Segre classes. Our results are generally expressed in terms of intersection numbers in Grassmannians, which can be computed explicitly in many cases. We observe that, surprisingly (to us), these degrees appear to match the numbers of Kekulé structures of certain `benzenoid hydrocarbons', and arise in many other contexts with no apparent direct connection to the enumerative geometry of rank conditions.

The Classical Aharonov-Bohm Interaction as a Relativity Paradox

description: The situation of a charged particle passing down the symmetry axis through a magnetic toroid presents a relativity paradox; different inertial frames suggest different forces on the charge and on the toroid due to the unperturbed systems. We review the charge-toroid interaction and suggest that the magnetic Aharonov-Bohm situation is misunderstood because of unfamiliarity with the acceleration fields following from the Darwin Lagrangian, which go unmentioned in recent textbooks of classical electromagnetism.

Computer-aided measurement of the heliographic coordinates of sunspot groups
Creators: name: Cakmak, H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Heliographic coordinates are used to identify the positions of solar features, especially the sunspot groups on the Sun's surface. Tracking the positions of sunspot groups provides information about solar rotation and the movement behavior of sunspot groups over Solar Cycles. Two heliographic coordinates are defined: Carrington and Stonyhurst. The calculations used here depend on three solar parameters, position angle P, latitude angle Bo and the starting longitude Lo. These values are calculated by using Astronomical Almanac for the observation time. In this study, a computer program called Computer Aided Measurement for Sunspots (CAMS) is presented. The main aim of the program is to determine the heliographic latitude and longitude of the sunspot groups besides other features like the latitudinal and longitudinal length, rectangular area and the tilt angle. This is accomplished by generating the corresponding Stonyhurst disk for the P and Bo angles of the time of observation and superimposing it onto the scanned drawing. Since 2009, CAMS is being used to process daily solar drawings at the Istanbul University Observatory.

description: A study of the weak state was conducted using the Honduras-U.S. relationship as a case study. Most existing literature, with the exception of Annette Baker Fox's The Power of Small States, does not analyze in detail a specific country's relationship with a powerful nation. This research examined the factors that helped a weak country maintain maneuverability in its domestic and foreign policies when under the influence of a strong power. Six conditions which facilitated maneuverability were: geographic proximity, rising nationalism, citizen participation in government, trade distribution and diversification, international pressure, and declining hegemony of the strong power. Events in Honduras were used to illustrate the conditions which helped Honduras maintain maneuverability. The study revealed that a new relationship between Honduras and the United States evolved because of the conditions which caused Honduras to maintain maneuverability in its policies.

description: Cisplatin is one of the highly consumed and potent antineoplastic drugs. However, its side effects in normal tissues, notably nephrotoxicity, is a major stumbling block and dose-limiting factor. Renoprotective approaches are being developed, however, the protective benefits are usually only partial implying the need for combinatorial strategies. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the nephroprotective efficacy of apigenin and kaempferol as dietary supplements against cisplatin-induced renal injury using human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells as our in vitro model. Our findings from MTT data, morphology studies, comet and ROS analysis suggest that CIS 11.36 µM + API 12.5 µg/mL and CIS 11.36 µM + KMP 25 µg/mL protects against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Results of western blot analysis further suggest the involvement of NGAL in the API and KMP mediated nephroprotection. Collectively, our studies suggest that API and KMP are promising candidates to be further developed as renoprotective agents against cisplatin-induced toxicity.
title: Understanding Zenga as Painting-Meditation
Creators: name: Bustin, Wayne
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This thesis constitutes a study of zenga, or ink-wash paintings created by Zen Buddhist monks that were used as a means of teaching, testing, and embodying enlightenment. They originated in China as Chan (Chinese Zen) paintings, but in the 13th century, local religious and cultural traditions influenced them to become a distinct art form in Japan (Addiss 9). More than artwork alone, these paintings are an expression of a Zen practitioner’s self-cultivation and vehicles for disseminating Zen teachings to the public. Given their purpose, non-monk practitioners rarely produced zenga. This research investigates the philosophical and aesthetic foundations of zenga, demonstrating how they function as painting-meditations for Zen monks to embody and teach enlightenment. The study is structured into six chapters. Chapter One traces the history of Zen and the parallel history of zenga, introducing the philosophical, cultural, and historic influences responsible for zenga’s conception and utilization. Chapter Two examines the various modes of zenga, their structural origins in Chinese painting and calligraphy, how they function, and how the influences discussed in the previous chapter dictated their form. Chapter Three examines the artistic and aesthetic values of zenga, rooted in enlightenment, and discusses their appearance, use, and appreciation. It is argued that appreciation of zenga is particularly significant within the Zen arts, as viewers are believed to complete works of art through their own selfcultivation. The viewer and painter are meant to use zenga to support meditation and the realization of enlightenment. Chapter Four defines and analyzes enlightenment as the core concept expressed in zenga and argues that it is the chief and underlying aesthetic value. Chapter Five applies this analysis of enlightenment and demonstrates how it is embodied through zenga and how, through meditation, it can be realized. The final chapter, Chapter Six, reflects on the arguments presented throughout the thesis and suggests future directions for research inspired by this project. Each chapter addresses an aspect of zenga, viewing each aspect in isolation to better understand how enlightenment is manifested and ultimately spread through zenga.

description: I modelli vettoriali autoregressivi (VAR) possono essere considerati un’estensione multivariata dinamica dei modelli autoregressivi univariati. Questa famiglia di modelli è diventata molto popolare nell’analisi macroeconomica dopo il lavoro di Sims (1980) ed essi sono ampiamente utilizzati nella letteratura delle serie storiche grazie alla loro flessibilità. Di fatto, impostando opportunamente un modello VAR, possiamo descrivere in modo efficiente le dinamiche dell’economia e fornire previsioni abbastanza accurate. Negli ultimi anni, i ricercatori hanno sviluppato diversi modelli VAR con lo scopo di rappresentare meglio il data generating process. Tra questi, i modelli VAR non lineari hanno acquisito un ruolo centrale nell’analisi macroeconometrica, grazie alla loro capacità di catturare un insieme più ricco di dinamiche relative agli attuali fenomeni macroeconomici. A seconda del modello non lineare utilizzato, ad esempio, possono essere analizzati diversi stati (regimi) dell’economia o stimati coefficienti variabili nel tempo. .. [a cura dell'Autore]
description: The Vector Autoregressive (VAR) Models can be considered as a dynamic multivariate extension of the univariate autoregressive models. This family of models has become very popular in macroeconomics analysis after the work of Sims(1980) and they are widely used in time series literature thanks to their flexibility. As a matter of fact, by setting appropriately a VAR model, we can describe efficiently the dynamics of the economy and provide quite accurate forecasts. During recent years, researchers developed different VAR models with the purpose to represent better the data generating process. Among these, the nonlinear VAR models have gained a central role in macroeconometric analysis in testing the theory, due to their capacity to capture a richer set of dynamics regarding current macroeconomic phenomenons. Depending on the specific model, they can allow, for example, different states (regimes) of the world, to allow the coefficients of the model to vary over time in each time unit, allowing for interactions between variables potentially revealing important information. ..

Studies on the Influence of Customer Trait Psychological Reactance on Customer Behaviour in the Context of Green Loyalty Programs
Creators: name: Huang, Jingxi
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: Trait reactance, which refers to the individual differences in how customers value their freedom of choice and react to being restricted, is an important influence on customers’ responses towards marketing tactics. This thesis investigates the impact of customer trait reactance on customer behaviour in the context of green loyalty programs (LPs), focusing on (1) empirically assessing the boundary conditions of the impact of trait reactance on customer behaviour, (2) proposing and testing a new concept (i.e., goal-reward congruity hypothesis) that captures the influence of trait reactance on customer behaviour, and (3) empirically examining a situation where trait reactance might not necessarily be the key issue for marketing managers to address in order to influence customer behaviour. Three papers address each of these points in order to advance the current understanding of the effect of trait reactance on customer behaviour: Paper 1: The first paper examines a three-way interaction effect among customers’ trait reactance, customers’ anticipated guilt about not joining the green LP, and frontline service employees’ physical attractiveness. This paper provides insights into how to change the impact of the influence of trait reactance on customer behaviour. Paper 2: The second paper develops and examines a goal-reward congruity hypothesis, which can explain how and why customers, especially those high in trait reactance, choose a preferred green LP reward. This paper provides a novel way to capture, firstly, customers’ choices when influenced by their different levels of trait reactance and, secondly, the role of pro-environmental goals in their decision-making. Paper 3: The third paper examines how a gain-framed message, when combined with a guilt appeal inducing the greatest level of experienced regret, can increase customers’ future intentions to join a hotel’s green LP. The above-mentioned effect still holds even when taking into consideration the influence of trait reactance. This paper contributes to the existing literature by supporting the view that when customers experience regret, their trait reactance is not necessarily the key factor in influencing their future intentions.

description: This paper deals with the investigation of the computational solutions of an unified fractional reaction-diffusion equation, which is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the time derivative of first order by the generalized Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative defined in Hilfer et al. , and the space derivative of second order by the Riesz-Feller fractional derivative, and adding a function $ϕ(x,t)$. The solution is derived by the application of the Laplace and Fourier transforms in a compact and closed form in terms of Mittag-Leffler functions. The main result obtained in this paper provides an elegant extension of the fundamental solution for the space-time fractional diffusion equation obtained earlier by Mainardi et al., and the result very recently given by Tomovski et al.. At the end, extensions of the derived results, associated with a finite number of Riesz-Feller space fractional derivatives, are also investigated.

description: We discuss two geosynchronous gravitational wave mission concepts, which we generically name gLISA. One relies on the science instrument hosting program onboard geostationary commercial satellites, while the other takes advantage of recent developments in the aerospace industry that result in dramatic satellite and launching vehicle cost reductions for a dedicated geosynchronous mission. To achieve the required level of disturbance free-fall onboard these large and heavy platforms we propose a "two-stage" drag-free system, which incorporates the Modular Gravitational Reference Sensor (MGRS) (developed at Stanford University) and does not rely on the use of micro-Newton thrusters. Although both mission concepts are characterized by different technical and programmatic challenges, individually they could be flown and operated at a cost significantly lower than those of previously envisioned gravitational wave missions. We estimate both mission concepts to cost less than 500M US$ each, and in the year 2015 we will perform at JPL a detailed selecting mission cost analysis.

description: Although traditional use of elderberry flowers is recognized by Medical Agencies, there are not suitable products on the Brazilian market. To overcome poor stability of tinctures of Sambucus nigra flowers, we aimed to develop spray dried microparticles. Statistical experimental design was applied taking inlet temperature and maltodextrin% at five different levels. Next, we applied a stability study for 60 days under accelerated conditions (40 °C/75% RH) and 180 days at room temperature (15–30 °C). We monitored flavonoid content as markers. The best drying condition was 188 °C and 65% of carrier and enabled microparticles with more than 90% of markers recovery. After 180 days, the dried extract remained with 90.8% at room temperature. The markers were released from microparticles in two minutes. In conclusion, the spray drying process and formulation enabled elderberry flowers to be easier to apply in solid pharmaceutical forms.

description: We obtained deep $UBVRI$ H$α$ photometric data of the field situated to the west of the main Carina nebula and centered on WR~22. Medium-resolution optical spectroscopy of a subsample of X-ray selected objects along with archival data sets from $Chandra$, $XMM-Newton$ and 2MASS surveys were used for the present study. Different sets of color-color and color-magnitude diagrams are used to determine reddening for the region and to identify young stellar objects (YSOs) and estimate their age and mass. Our spectroscopic results indicate that the majority of the X-ray sources are late spectral type stars. The region shows a large amount of differential reddening with minimum and maximum values of $E(B-V)$ as 0.25 and 1.1 mag, respectively. Our analysis reveals that the total-to-selective absorption ratio $R \rm_{V}$ is $\sim$3.7 $\pm$ 0.1, suggesting an abnormal grain size in the observed region. We identified 467 YSOs and studied their characteristics. The ages and masses of the 241 optically identified YSOs range from $\sim$0.1 to 10 Myr and $\sim$0.3 to 4.8M$_\odot$, respectively. However, the majority of them are younger than 1 Myr and have masses below 2 M$_\odot$. The high mass star WR 22 does not seem to have contributed to the formation of YSOs in the CrW region. The initial mass function slope, $Γ$, in this region is found to be -1.13 $\pm$ 0.20 in the mass range of 0.5 < M/M$_\odot$ < 4.8. The $K$-band luminosity function slope ($α$) is also estimated as 0.31 $\pm$ 0.01. We also performed minimum spanning tree analysis of the YSOs in this region, which reveals that there are at least ten YSO cores associated with the molecular cloud, and that leads to an average core radius of 0.43 pc and a median branch length of 0.28 pc.

description: Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit behandelt die Fragestellung, wie eigene Werthaltungen das professionelle Handeln von Sozialpädagog*innen im Heimsetting beeinflussen. Das Heimsetting ist für Kinder und Jugendliche, die Gewalt, Vernachlässigung oder Misshandlung erlebt haben, ein bedeutsamer Ort für ihre Persönlichkeitsentwicklung. Da die sozialpädagogischen Fachkräfte bei der Arbeit mit Kindern und Jugendlichen selbst als Person ihr wichtiges Werkzeug sind, stellt sich heraus, dass es unumgänglich ist, sich mit den eigenen Wertehaltungen auseinanderzusetzen. Dies ist
notwendig, um die Kinder und Jugendlichen in ihrer Entwicklung angemessen zu unterstützen.
Durch Fachliteratur sollen die Themen professionelles Handeln, Heimerziehung und Werthaltungen nähergebracht werden. Der Einfluss eigener Wertvorstellungen wird im Heimsetting durch Übertragung und Gegenübertragung sowie durch Fallverstehen und die Erziehungs- und Bildungsziele erarbeitet. Die Arbeit enthält Handlungsempfehlungen auf individueller Ebene, Teamebene und institutioneller Ebene, darunter biografische Selbstreflexion, Supervision und Empfehlungen, die Gedanken der psychoanalytischen Pädagogik einbeziehen.

description: Some species exhibit very high levels of DNA sequence variability; there is also evidence for the existence of heritable epigenetic variants that experience state changes at a much higher rate than sequence variants. In both cases, the resulting high diversity levels within a population (hyperdiversity) mean that standard population genetics methods are not trustworthy. We analyze a population genetics model that incorporates purifying selection, reversible mutations and genetic drift, assuming a stationary population size. We derive analytical results for both population parameters and sample statistics, and discuss their implications for studies of natural genetic and epigenetic variation. In particular, we find that (1) many more intermediate frequency variants are expected than under standard models, even with moderately strong purifying selection (2) rates of evolution under purifying selection may be close to, or even exceed, neutral rates. These findings are related to empirical studies of sequence and epigenetic variation.

Modeling properties of chromospheric evaporation driven by thermal conduction fronts from reconnection shocks

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Magnetic reconnection in the corona results in contracting flare loops, releasing energy into plasma heating and shocks. The hydrodynamic shocks so produced drive thermal conduction fronts (TCFs) which transport energy into the chromosphere and drive upflows (evaporation) and downflows (condensation) in the cooler, denser footpoint plasma. Observations have revealed that certain properties of the transition point between evaporation and condensation (the "flow reversal point" or FRP), such as temperature and velocity-temperature derivative at the FRP, vary between different flares. These properties may provide a diagnostic tool to determine parameters of the coronal energy release mechanism and the loop atmosphere. In this study, we develop a 1-D hydrodynamical flare loop model with a simplified three-region atmosphere (chromosphere/transition region/corona), with TCFs initiated by shocks introduced in the corona. We investigate the effect of two different flare loop parameters (post-shock temperature and transition region temperature ratio) on the FRP properties. We find that both of the evaporation characteristics have scaling-law relationships to the varied flare parameters, and we report the scaling exponents for our model. This provides a means of using spectroscopic observations of the chromosphere as quantitative diagnostics of flare energy release in the corona.

Übermässiger Alkohol- und Drogenkonsum im Gastgewerbe: Ursachen und mögliche Präventionsmassnahmen
Creators: name: Meienberg, Michelle
Publisher: name: Hochschule Luzern – Soziale Arbeit
Year: 2024

description: Die vorliegende Bachelor-Arbeit befasst sich mit dem übermässigen Alkohol- und Drogenkonsum von
Gastgewerbe-Mitarbeitenden. Mittels Leitfadeninterviews wird von der Autorin untersucht, inwiefern
die Arbeitsbedingungen und die Kultur im Gastgewerbe das Konsumverhalten der Angestellten
beeinflussen. Bestehende Studien und Statistiken aus dem In- und Ausland ermöglichen die
vorgängige Bestimmung von fünf Konsummotiven. So können die Verfügbarkeit von Alkohol, die
Normalisierung und Akzeptanz von verschiedensten Substanzen, die belastenden
Arbeitsbedingungen, die ungenügende Durchsetzung von Reglementen und fehlende
Präventionsmassnahmen für den übermässigen Konsum verantwortlich gemacht werden. Die
befragten Personen bestätigen durch ihre Aussagen die herausgearbeiteten Gründe, merken jedoch
an, dass es noch weitere relevante Faktoren gibt. Ziellosigkeit, familiärer Leistungsdruck, erlerntes
Konsumverhalten durch die Eltern, soziale Isolation, Unzufriedenheit, fehlende Resilienz und andere
Charaktereigenschaften trugen laut den Interviewpartner*innen ebenfalls dazu bei. Dies wiederrum
bestätigt das Modell der Sucht-Trias, welches besagt, dass nicht nur die Umwelt, sondern auch das
Individuum und die Substanz bei der Suchtentstehung berücksichtigt werden müssen. Die
unterschiedlichen Konsummotive oder deren Kombination erfordern verschiedene
Präventionsmassnahmen. Fachpersonen der Sozialen Arbeit sind angewiesen auf die
Zusammenarbeit mit Vertreter*innen und Mitarbeitenden des Gastgewerbes sowie zuständigen Ausund
Weiterbildungsinstitutionen. Die Interdisziplinarität soll einen ganzheitlichen Lösungsansatz
ermöglichen und die Situation nachhaltig verbessern.

description: Fifteen compounds belong to phenolic acids, derivatives of phenolic acids, iridoids, xanthones and flavonoids were characterized in the methanolic extract of Otostegia fruticosa leaves using HPLC-MS/MS. Extract has been also investigated for its MAO-B inhibitory activity, antioxidant activity, total phenolic and total flavonoid content. The extract exhibited interesting MAO-B inhibitory activity (IC50; 2.24 ± 0.08) compared to the reference compound selegiline (0.55 ± 0.02 µg/mL). It also showed a potent antioxidant activity proven in both DPPH and ORAC assay methods. The extract showed an IC50 of 3.64 ± 1.22 µg/mL in the DPPH test which was significantly lower than that of the standard ascorbic acid which attained an IC50 of 18.3 ± 1.41 µg/mL. Moreover, in the oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay (ORAC) the extract showed a decline in the IC50 to 3.48 ± 1.16 µg/mL as compared to the standard Trolox which exhibited an IC50 of 27.0 ± 13.41.

The twin paradox in the presence of gravity

description: Conventional wisdom, based on kinematic (flat-space) intuition, tell us that a static twin is aging faster than his traveling twin brother. However, such a situation could be exactly inverted if the two twins are embedded in an external gravitational field, and if the (dynamical) distortion of the space-time geometry, due to gravity, is strong enough to compensate the kinematic effect of the relative twin motion.

description: Geraniin is a polyphenolic compound first isolated from Geranium thunbergii. The major protease (Mpro), namely 3 C-like protease (3CLpro), of coronaviruses is considered an attractive drug target as it is essential for the processing and maturation of viral polyproteins. Thus, our primary goal is to explore the efficiency of geraniin on 3CLpro of SARS-CoV-2 using the computational biology strategy. In this work, we studied the anti-coronavirus effect of geraniin in vitro and its potential inhibitory mode against the 3CLpro of SARS-CoV-2. We found that geraniin inhibited HCoV-OC43 coronavirus-infected cells during the attachment and penetration phases. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations exhibited that geraniin had a strong binding affinity and high stable binding to 3CLpro of SARS-CoV-2. Geraniin showed a strong inhibitory activity on coronavirus and may be a potential inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro.
