description: We employ a bottom-up and model-independent technique to search for non-Abelian discrete flavour symmetries capable of predicting viable CKM and PMNS matrices alongside of special patterns of leptoquark couplings. In particular, we analyze patterns derived when an ultra-violet flavour theory is assumed to break to global Abelian symmetries in Standard Model fermion masses and new Yukawa-like terms sourced by the leptoquark representation. The phenomenology of different classes of these `simplified models' can be explored without reference to explicit model-building assumptions, e.g. the nature of flavour symmetry breaking or any additional field content associated to it, and are also capable of explaining hints of lepton non-universality in $\mathcal{R}_{K^{(\star)}}$. Assuming experimentally interesting CKM and PMNS matrix elements, our algorithm finds an abundance of predictive non-Abelian flavour groups and therefore provides promising directions for future model building in the flavoured leptoquark space, regardless of whether the anomalous $\mathcal{R}_{K^{(\star)}}$ measurements withstand further experimental scrutiny.

description: We generalise the baryon vertex configuration of AdS/CFT by adding magnetic field on its worldvolume, dissolving D-string charge. A careful analysis of the configuration shows that there is an upper bound on the number of dissolved strings. We provide a microscopical description of this configuration in terms of a dielectric effect for the dissolved strings.

description: We report on the first detection of C3N- and C5N- towards the cold dark core TMC-1 in the Taurus region, using the Yebes 40 m telescope. The observed C3N/C3N- and C5N/C5N- abundance ratios are 140 and 2, respectively; that is similar to those found in the circumstellar envelope of the carbon-rich star IRC+10216. Although the formation mechanisms for the neutrals are different in interstellar (ion-neutral reactions) and circumstellar clouds (photodissociation and radical-neutral reactions), the similarity of the C3N/C3N- and C5N/C5N- abundance ratios strongly suggests a common chemical path for the formation of these anions in interstellar and circumstellar clouds. We discuss the role of radiative electronic attachment, reactions between N atoms and carbon chain anions Cn-, and that of H- reactions with HC3N and HC5N as possible routes to form CnN-. The detection of C5N- in TMC-1 gives strong support for assigning to this anion the lines found in IRC+10216, as it excludes the possibility of a metal-bearing species, or a vibrationally excited state. New sets of rotational parameters have been derived from the observed frequencies in TMC-1 and IRC+10216 for C5N- and the neutral radical C5N.

description: This study will examine two different types of poetry that can be broadly classified as “political” in an attempt to reach an understanding of the interaction between politics and poetry in modern Japan. The first sampling of poetry will be taken from the Internet and will be amateur verse belonging to such traditional genres of poetry as haiku / senryū and tanka that can be classified as agitprop poetry. The second more substantive sampling will be taken from “professional” poets and will mainly fall into the shi (free verse) category. I will also discuss various literary critics and also thinkers on aesthetics from both Japan and the West to further elucidate the relationship between poetry and politics, to elaborate a broad definition of the political domain appropriate to Japanese verse, and also to investigate the issue of how to read and evaluate poetry as literary art. The study will be divided into five parts: first, the introduction outlining and probing the issues under discussion, next, an examination of Japanese agitprop poetry drawn from the Internet, then a brief interregnum on (literary) theory focusing on two theoreticians, Yoshimoto Takaaki (1924–2012) from Japan and Jonathan Culler (b. 1944) from the West, followed by an investigation of contemporary free verse political poetry, specifically the verse of Minashita Kiryū (b. 1970), Misumi Mizuki (b. 1981), Yotsumoto Yasuhiro (b. 1959), and Arai Takako (b. 1996)

description: La costituzione apostolica Veritatis gaudium chiama tutto il sistema degli studi ecclesiastici ad una radicale conversione missionaria: le discipline teologiche devono assumere l’obiettivo di contribuire alla salvezza della casa comune, a soluzioni per fronteggiare la crisi epocale che l’umanità sta attraversando. Questo radicale cambio di paradigma non sembra al momento sufficientemente supportato dall’apparato istituzionale e normativo, ancora legato a una prospettiva apologetica e difensiva, preoccupato di affermare la verità cristiana nei confronti del mondo, delle scienze e delle culture, e di mantenere il controllo sulla ricerca teologica. Per recepire compiutamente la riforma, occorre ripensare il rapporto tra centro e periferie, tra magistero e sensus fidei fidelium, tra tradizione e libertà. Un’autentica riforma istituzionale non potrà che scaturire dai processi sinodali nei quali il popolo di Dio esercita il suo discernimento.

"People’s War" and state response : the Naxalite movement in Telengana, India (1970-93)
Creators: name: Ravikanti, Rajeshwari
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is a study of the interaction between the emergence and development of a radical peasant movement—the naxalite movement— in Telengana, India and the state response during 1970-93. The thesis contends that the movement has essentially been a violent expression of a socio-economic problem that has been endemic in rural India. It has resulted from the existence of glaring inequalities in wealth and social status between the rural rich and poor which have developed under specific historical influences during the modernization process. In the post-independence period governmental policies, ostensibly aimed at development, far from correcting the problem, have led to further uneven distribution of economic and political benefits. Throughout the period, the ideological and organizational influence of the communist parties has provided the necessary basis for mobilizing forces against the state. The state has responded to the movement through policies of both persuasion and coercion, although the latter have been more visible and dominant. The Indian state (both at the centre and state levels), with its commitment to liberal democracy on the one hand and Gandhism and socialism on the other, has been put on the defensive for its unconscionable neglect of agrarian socioeconomic reforms, its overall failure to bring about social justice and its disregard of human rights and civil liberties. The thesis tries to bring out the theoretical significance and the dynamics of the peasant struggle as well as the dilemmas inherent in the state response.

Part I contains an overview of the formalism of lattice gases that we use to explain various symmetries and inequalities generally valid for nonequilibrium systems, including the fluctuation symmetry, Jarzynski equality, and the direction of currents. In Part II we concentrate on the macroscopic state and how entropy provides a bridge between microscopic dynamics and macroscopic irreversibility; included is a construction of quantum macroscopic states and a result on the equivalence of ensembles.

Orientational ordering in a fluid of hard kites: A density-functional-theory study

description: Using Density Functional Theory we theoretically study the orientational properties of uniform phases of hard kites -- two isosceles triangles joined by their common base. Two approximations are used: Scaled Particle Theory, and a new approach which better approximates third virial coefficients of two-dimensional hard particles. By varying some of their geometrical parameters kites can be transformed into squares, rhombuses, triangles, and also very elongated particles, even reaching the hard-needle limit. Thus a fluid of hard kites, depending on the particle shape, can stabilize isotropic, nematic, tetratic and triatic phases. Different phase diagrams are calculated, including those of rhombuses, and kites with two of their equal interior angles fixed to $90^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ and $75^{\circ}$. Kites with one of their unequal angles fixed to $72^{\circ}$, which have been recently studied via Monte Carlo simulations, are also considered. We find that rhombuses and kites with two equal right angles and not too large anisometry stabilise the tetratic phase but the latter stabilize it to a much higher degree. By contrast, kites with two equal interior angles fixed to $60^{\circ}$ stabilize the triatic phase to some extent, although it is very sensitive to changes in particle geometry. Kites with the two equal interior angles fixed to $75^{\circ}$ have a phase diagram with both tetratic and triatic phases, but we show the nonexistence of a particle shape for which both phases are stable at different densities. Finally the success of the new theory in the description of orientational order in kites is shown by comparing with Monte Carlo simulations for the case where one of the unequal angles is fixed to $72^{\circ}$. These particles also present phase diagrams with stable tetratic and triatic phases.

description: The purpose of this study is the detection and the quantitative investigation of differences in physical activity, eating behavior and eating attitudes among young men and women. A correlational, cross – sectional design was designed. The study sample consisted of 246 students of the Nursing Department of Alexander Technological Institute of Thessaloniki . The measurement of parameters carried out using three scales. Men are more physically active than women. Moreover, it was found that women has higher scores than men at social anxiety and it is more possible for them to show abnormal eating behavior. High levels of physical stress can lead young people to unhealthy eating behaviors. Moreover, there is a differentiation in physical exercise between men and women. Finally, women are strongly oriented to an ideal image of their body, but they do not prefer to use exercise as a way to obtain the desire body. Therefore they resort to the control diet, which leads them more easily than men in abnormal eating behaviors.

Πρόκειται για περιγραφική μελέτη συσχέτισης με συγχρονικές συγκρίσεις. Το δείγμα αποτέλεσαν 246 φοιτητές του τμήματος νοσηλευτικής της Σχολής Επαγγελμάτων Υγείας και Πρόνοιας του ΑΤΕΙ Θεσσαλονίκης. Η μέτρηση των απαραίτητων παραμέτρων πραγματοποιήθηκε με τη χρήση τριών κλιμάκων. Σχετικά με τη φυσική δραστηριότητα, είναι χαρακτηριστική η διαφοροποίηση των ανδρών έναντι των γυναικών. Επιπλέον, βρέθηκε πως οι γυναίκες υπερτερούν από τους άνδρες στο επίπεδο κοινωνικού άγχους αλλά και στο πιθανότητα εμφάνισης μη φυσιολογικής διαιτητική συμπεριφορά. Υψηλά επίπεδα σωματικού άγχους είναι δυνατόν να οδηγήσουν τους νέους σε ανθυγιεινές διατροφικές συμπεριφορές. Επιπλέον, υπάρχει σαφής διαφοροποίηση των δύο φύλων ως προς την σωματική άσκηση. Τέλος, οι γυναίκες είναι ισχυρά προσανατολισμένες και ταυτισμένες με μία ιδανική εικόνα του σώματος τους, δεν θέλουν όμως να χρησιμοποιήσουν τη σωματική άσκηση ως τρόπο απόκτησης του και ως εκ τούτου καταφεύγουν στον έλεγχο της διατροφής, γεγονός που τις οδηγεί περισσότερο εύκολα από τους άνδρες σε μη φυσιολογικές διατροφικές συμπεριφορές.

L’a. intende approfondire il ruolo che può assumere la formazione teologica nel più ampio contesto dei percorsi di formazione permanente. Per giungere a questo obiettivo, dopo avere chiarito l’orizzonte generale di riferimento, a livello teologico ed ecclesiale, si assume come prospettiva ermeneutica principale quella della conversione in senso missionario di tutta la vita della chiesa, ispirata da Evangelii gaudium. In quest’ottica, vengono presentate quelle caratteristiche che possono aiutare un rinnovamento della teologia per una migliore integrazione nel complesso delle proposte di formazione permanente oggi.

description: Abstract

Pressurized hydraulic flushing is a technique to remove deposited sediments in reservoirs. Dam outlets are opened to discharge sediments through the outflow. Reservoirs cannot be experimentally simulated at a real-life scale under various scenarios. Therefore, numerical simulations represent an efficient and effective alternative and help optimally manage deposited sediments in reservoirs. This paper numerically simulated flow and sediments in the Sefid-rud Dam, Iran, using the Flow-3D model. The numerical model was calibrated using real-life flushing data of the dam. Then, the effects of the water level at the beginning of pressurized flushing and the number of open outlets were explored by analyzing the changes in the longitudinal bed level, scour around the outlets, and sediment removal. It was found that the numerical model was effective and efficient in identifying the optimal initial reservoir level and outflow in a dam.

description: Soil moisture impacts exchanges of water, energy and carbon fluxes between the land surface and the atmosphere. Passive microwave remote sensing at L-band can capture spatial and temporal patterns of soil moisture in the landscape. Both ESA and NASA have launched L-band radiometers, in the form of the SMOS and SMAP satellites respectively, to monitor soil moisture globally, every 3-day at about 40 km resolution. However, their coarse scale restricts the range of applications. While SMAP included an L-band radar to downscale the radiometer soil moisture to 9 km, the radar failed after 3 months and this initial approach is not applicable to developing a consistent long term soil moisture product across the two missions anymore. Existing optical-, radiometer-, and oversampling-based downscaling methods could be an alternative to the radar-based approach for delivering such data. Nevertheless, retrieval of a consistent high resolution soil moisture product remains a challenge, and there has been no comprehensive inter-comparison of the alternate approaches. This research undertakes an assessment of the different downscaling approaches using the SMAPEx-4 field campaign data
Time-dependent AdS/CFT Duality and Null Singularity

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We consider AdS/CFT correspondence for time-dependent \II B backgrounds in this paper. The supergravity solutions we construct are supersymmetric pp-waves on AdS and may have null singularity in the bulk. The dual gauge theory is also constructed explicitly and is given by a time-dependent supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory living on the boundary. Apart from the usual terms that are dictated by the geometry, our gauge theory action features also a time-dependent axion coupling and a time-dependent gauge coupling. Both of which are necessary due to the presence of a nontrivial dilaton and axion profile in the supergravity solution. The proposal is supported by a precise matching in the symmetries and functional dependence on the null coordinate of the two theories. As applications, we show how the bulk Einstein equation may be reproduced from the gauge theory. We also study and compare the behaviour of the field theory two-point functions. We find that the two-point function computed by using duality is different from that by doing a direct field theory computation. In particular the spacetime singularity is not seen in our gauge theory result, suggesting that the spacetime singularity may be resolved in the gauge theory.

description: Abstract

Background: The present study aimed to compare conventional K-hand files and pediatric Kedo-S rotary files using cone beam computed tomography. Materials and methods: Twenty extracted mandibular molars with intact distal roots were randomly divided into 2 groups (10 in each group), the teeth were instrumented by K- files & Kedo-S files and were scanned before and after instrumentation using cone beam computed tomography. SIMPLANT software was used to analyze the images of the distal roots to assess the incidence of canal transportation, centering ability, and detect the amount of removed dentin. Results: Kedo-S files group reflected less incidence of instrumentation errors (less transportation and better centering ability); however, Kedo-S files removed greater amount of dentin (0.4822±0.0234) than manual files (0.1814±0.0158) with significant difference between both groups (P-value<0.05). Conclusions: Kedo-S files achieved less transportation and better centering ability ratio than K-files, while they removed more radicular dentin that may weaken the teeth later.

description: In this paper we analyse the vacuum polarization effect associated with the charged massless scalar field, in the presence of magnetic flux at finite temperature, in the cosmic string background. We consider a spacetime of an idealized cosmic string which presents a magnetic field confined in a cylindrical tube of finite radius. Two different situations are taken into account in our analysis: (i) a homogeneous field inside the tube and (ii) a magnetic field proportional to $1/r$. In these two cases, the axis of the infinitely long tube of radius $R$ coincides with the cosmic string. Specifically, we calculate the effects produced by the temperature in the renormalized vacuum expectation value of the square of the charged massless scalar field, $$. Therefore, in order to realize these analysis, we calculate the Euclidean Green function associated with this field in this background.

description: Il saggio intende presentare inizialmente il percorso storico del termine transdisciplinarità, dalle sue origini ai giorni nostri, toccando i vari significati che ha assunto negli autori e scuole che ne hanno parlato. Vengono poi presentate le varie metodologie: dallo studio disciplinare alla multidisciplinarità, dalla interdisciplinarità alla transdisciplinarità per presentarne sinteticamente i nuclei teoretici centrali e cogliere, nel loro sviluppo, la graduale complessità epistemica che le caratterizza. Infine, sono presentate sinteticamente alcune considerazioni sulla proposta della Veritatis gaudium circa l’uso dell’interdisciplinarità e della transdisciplinarità, nell’ambito della rivelazione, per un rinnovamento degli studi e del linguaggio teologico nell’attuale contesto ecclesiale, nella diffusa crisi antropologica contemporanea e nel tendere, del pensiero cristiano, verso una visione unitaria del sapere.

La transdisciplinarità per superare la separazione tra teoria e prassi in teologia?
Creators: name: Zaccaria, Francesco
Publisher: name: Apulia Theologica
Year: 2025

description: Questo studio intende rispondere alla domanda se e in che senso la prospettiva transdisciplinare possa aiutare la teologia a superare la separazione fra teoria e prassi. A tal fine l’articolo presenta lo sviluppo epistemologico della teologia pratica, che mette al centro sia la relazione fra teoria e prassi sia il rapporto della teologia con le scienze umane, fino ad arrivare alla proposta dell’approccio intradisciplinare ed empirico del teologo pastorale Johannes van der Ven. Tale sviluppo della teologia pratica può indicare la direzione alla riflessione teologica verso un’effettiva circolarità fra teoria teologica e prassi ecclesiale e verso percorsi transdisciplinari, sia fra diverse discipline teologiche, sia fra teologia e altre scienze.

description: We apply Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) and Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers in the context of finding chiral heterotic string models with positive cosmological constant from $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifolds. The power of using SAT/SMT solvers to sift large parameter spaces quickly to decide satisfiability, both to declare and prove unsatisfiability and to declare satisfiability, are demonstrated in this setting. These models are partly chosen to be small enough to plot the performance against exhaustive search, which takes around 2 hours 20 minutes to comb through the parameter space. We show that making use of SMT based techniques with integer encoding is rather simple and effective, while a more careful Boolean SAT encoding provides a significant speed-up -- determining satisfiability or unsatisfiability has, in our experiments varied between 0.03 and 0.06 seconds, while determining all models (where models exist) took 19 seconds for a constraint system that allows for 2048 models and 8.4 seconds for a constraint system that admits 640 models. We thus gain several orders of magnitude in speed, and this advantage is set to grow with a growing parameter space. This holds the promise that the method scales well beyond the initial problem we have used it for in this paper.

description: We present $\it{Hubble}$ $\it{Space}$ $\it{Telescope}$ proper motions in the direction of the star cluster NGC$\,$419 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Because of the high precision of our measurements, for the first time it is possible to resolve the complex kinematics of the stellar populations located in the field, even along the tangential direction. In fact, the proper motions we measured allow us to separate cluster stars, which move on average with ($μ_α\cosδ^{\rm NGC\,419}, μ_δ^{\rm NGC\,419}$) = ($+0.878\pm0.055$, $-1.246\pm0.048$) mas yr$^{-1}$, from those of the Small Magellanic Cloud and those belonging to a third kinematic feature that we recognise as part of the Magellanic Bridge. Resolving such a kinematic complexity enables the construction of decontaminated colour-magnitude diagrams, as well as the measurement of the absolute proper motion of the three separate components. Our study therefore sets the first steps towards the possibility of dynamically investigating the Magellanic system by exploiting the resolved kinematics of its stellar clusters.

COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF DC-DC CONVERTERS IMPLEMENTED WITH DIFFERENT CONTROL ALGORITHMS FOR ACHIEVING HIGH-EFFICIENCY

description: Abstract

In this article, a comprehensive review of DC-DC converters implemented with different control algorithms for achieving high efficiency is presented. The brief literature review will enable us to find an efficient converter and its corresponding algorithm. To overcome the energy deficiency problem, renewable energy resources such as fuel cells and solar cells play an important role. In renewable energy applications, high-efficiency DC-DC converters act as a challenging factor in providing better-regulated output. The output voltage of the converters can be controlled by linear or non-linear controllers. The traditional controllers (PI/PID) are used to reduce oscillations and to improve the loop gain. Non-linear controllers like fuzzy controllers and sliding mode controllers provide fast transient and stable steady-state responses, even though variations are present in input, reference, and output voltages. The detailed description of the converters and controllers is discussed with suitable diagrams and expressions.
On boundary conditions for spin diffusion equations with Rashba spin-orbit interaction

description: We reexamine the boundary conditions of spin diffusion equations for dirty semiconductor heterostructures with weak linear Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Doing so, we focus on the influence of tangent derivatives of the particle density at the boundary on the magnetization. Such derivatives are associated with a spin accumulation in the presence of a density gradient. We show that the tangent derivatives enter the boundary conditions and argue that the spin-Hall effect is absent in such systems because of this fact.

description: Fibonacci or bifocal terahertz (THz) imaging is demonstrated experimentally employing silicon diffractive zone plate (SDZP) in a continuous wave mode. Images simultaneously recorded in two different planes are exhibited at 0.6 THz frequency with the spatial resolution of wavelength. Multi-focus imaging operation of the Fibonacci lens is compared with a performance of the conventional silicon phase zone plate. Spatial profiles and focal depth features are discussed varying the frequency from 0.3 THz to 0.6 THz. Good agreement between experimental results and simulation data is revealed.

description: We consider the effect of toroidal magnetic fields on hydrodynamically stable Taylor-Couette differential rotation flows. For current-free magnetic fields a nonaxisymmetric m=1 magnetorotational instability arises when the magnetic Reynolds number exceeds O (100). We then consider how this `azimuthal magnetorotational instability' (AMRI) is modified if the magnetic field is not current-free, but also has an associated electric current throughout the fluid. This gives rise to current-driven Tayler instabilities (TI) that exist even without any differential rotation at all. The interaction of the AMRI and the TI is then considered when both electric currents and differential rotation are present simultaneously. The magnetic Prandtl number Pm turns out to be crucial in this case. Large Pm have a destabilizing influence, and lead to a smooth transition between the AMRI and the TI. In contrast, small Pm have a stabilizing influence, with a broad stable zone separating the AMRI and the TI. In this region the differential rotation is acting to stabilize the Tayler instabilities, with possible astrophysical applications (Ap stars). The growth rates of both the AMRI and the TI are largely independent of Pm, with the TI acting on the timescale of a single rotation period, and the AMRI slightly slower, but still on the basic rotational timescale. The azimuthal drift timescale is ~20 rotations, and may thus be a (flip-flop) timescale of stellar activity between the rotation period and the diffusion time.

description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of new forms of subjectivities of the social scientist/psychologist, in the provision of psychosocial services in Greece, through the case of the NGO sector. Following the methodological context of Critical Psychology we proceeded in a “cooperative introspection” and reflected, empirically and theoretically, on pieces of our working praxis, as a situated encounter between subjects, objects and activities. In this context we examined and demonstrated neoliberal social practices of subjectification and dialectical objectification, in and through NGO-practices. Moreover, we examined and demonstrated the subjects’ “action potency” and under which terms this is formed through their activities and their relation to societal meanings.
Effective mass anomalies in strained Si thin films and crystals

description: Effective mass anomalies due to the geometrical effects are investigated in silicon nanostructures using first-principles calculations for the first time. In \{111\} and \{110\} biaxially strained Si, it is found that longitudinal effective mass is extraordinarily enhanced for both thin films and crystals. This mass enhancement is caused by the change of the band structure with double minima into that with a single minimum due to strain and confinement. At the transition point, it is analytically shown that the effective mass diverges. The dependences of the confinement thickness on the anomalies are qualitatively explained by an extension of the effective mass approximation.
