description: Since the strong interlayer interaction of AB-stacked graphene in bulk form degrades the superior property of single-layer graphene, formation of randomly stacked graphene is required to apply the high performances of graphene to macroscopic devices. However, conventional methods to obtain bulk-scale graphene suffer from a low crystallinity and/or the formation of a thermodynamically stable AB-stacked structure. This study develops a novel approach to produce bulk-scale graphene with a high crystallinity and high fractions of random stacking by utilizing the porous morphology of a graphene oxide sponge and an ultrahigh temperature treatment of 1500-1800 °C with ethanol vapor. Raman spectroscopy indicates that the obtained bulk-scale graphene sponge possesses a high crystallinity and a high fraction of random stacking of 80%. The large difference in the random-stacking ratio between the sponge and the aggregate samples confirms the importance of accessibility of ethanol-derived species into the internal area. By investigating the effect of treatment temperature, a higher random-stacking ratio is obtained at 1500 °C. Moreover, the AB-stacking fraction was reduced to less than 10% by introducing cellulose nanofiber as a spacer to prevent direct stacking of graphene. The proposed method is effective for large-scale production of high-performance bulk-scale graphene.

description: Some children may be intellectually gifted, and yet experience behavioral and academic difficulties. We examined 82 twice exceptional children (2eADHD), having an excellent General Ability Index (GAI) derived from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV (GAI >= 125), and a diagnosis of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). They accounted for 8.8% of a large sample of children with ADHD, which is twice as high as the proportion of intellectually gifted children in a typical population. This over-representation does not reflect a misdiagnosis of ADHD, as these children showed the typical features predicted on the grounds of data regarding the ADHD sample, including lower scores in working memory and processing speed measures, combined with the inclusion criteria for giftedness. Based on information concerning intellectually gifted children with either a Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) or typical development, we observed that these characteristics of intelligence are similar to those seen in SLD, but not in typical development, irrespective of whether 2e-ADHD children had a comorbid SLD.

description: This article describes the results of textological analysis of Slavic translations of liturgies from the oldest period (11th-14th cc.): the Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, the Liturgy of Saint Basil the Great and the Liturgy of Presanctified Gifts. It also describes methods of analyzing liturgy based on Slavic manuscripts, taking into consideration the structure of its text, historic and liturgical tradition as well as special features of its translation. The article presents a classification of Slavic manuscript copies and a diagram that illustrates the relation between the different redactions. In addition, the author substantiates the principles of publishing Slavic liturgy: it must consist of two parts – a critical edition of the Slavic translation of liturgy and a table, which shows the composition of the Divine Service.

description: We will extend the concept of electron band Berry curvatures to superconducting materials. We show that this can be defined for the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation describing the superconducting state in a periodic crystal. In addition, the concept is exploited to understand the driving mechanism for the optical Kerr effect in time reversal symmetry breaking superconductors. Finally, we establish a sum rule analogue to the normal state Hall sum rule making quantitative contact between the imaginary part of the optical conductivity and the Berry curvature. The general theory will be applied and tested against the drosophila of the p-wave paired materials Sr$_2$RuO$_4$.
Exciton-phonon interaction calls for a revision of the "exciton" concept

description: The concept of \textit{optical} exciton - a photo-excited bound electron-hole pair within a crystal - is routinely used to interpret and model a wealth of excited-state phenomena in semiconductors. Beside originating sub-band gap signatures in optical spectra, optical excitons have also been predicted to condensate, diffuse, recombine, relax. However, all these phenomena are rooted on a theoretical definition of the excitonic state based on the following simple picture: "excitons" are actual particles that both appear as peaks in the linear absorption spectrum and also behave as well-defined quasiparticles. In this paper we show, instead, that the electron-phonon interaction decomposes the initial optical excitons into \textit{elemental} excitons, the latter being a different kind of bound electron-hole pairs lacking the effect caused by the induced, classical, electric field. This is demonstrated within a many-body perturbation theory approach starting from the interacting electronic Hamiltonian including both electron-phonon and electron-hole interactions. We then apply the results on two realistic systems, monolayer MoS$_2$ (where the lowest-bound exciton is optically inactive) and monolayer MoSe$_2$ (where it is optically active), using first-principles methods to compute the exciton-phonon coupling matrix elements. Among the consequences of optical-elemental decomposition, we point to a homogeneous broadening of absorption peaks occurring even for the lowest-bound optical exciton, we demonstrate this by computing exciton-phonon transition rates. More generally, our findings suggest that the optical excitons gradually lose their initial structure and evolve as elemental excitons. These states can be regarded as the real intrinsic excitations of the interacting system, the ones that survive when the external perturbation and the induced electric fields have vanished.

description: Query categorization at customer-to-customer e-commerce platforms like Facebook Marketplace is challenging due to the vagueness of search intent, noise in real-world data, and imbalanced training data across languages. Its deployment also needs to consider challenges in scalability and downstream integration in order to translate modeling advances into better search result relevance. In this paper we present HierCat, the query categorization system at Facebook Marketplace. HierCat addresses these challenges by leveraging multi-task pre-training of dual-encoder architectures with a hierarchical inference step to effectively learn from weakly supervised training data mined from searcher engagement. We show that HierCat not only outperforms popular methods in offline experiments, but also leads to 1.4% improvement in NDCG and 4.3% increase in searcher engagement at Facebook Marketplace Search in online A/B testing.

The Croatian Glagolitic Bible. The State of the Research
Creators: name: Badurina Stipčević, Vesna
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2017

description: The medieval Croatian Glagolitic Bible has not been preserved in the form of a complete codex. Its existence, however, is indicated by archival data and extensive biblical readings found in Glagolitic missals and breviaries that enable us to reconstruct the Croatian Glagolitic Bible. Based on the current state of research, one can conclude that the Croatian Glagolitic biblical translation was not uniform, that it originated from various periods of time and from various different textual sources. It partly consists of biblical readings that adhere to the Cyrillo-Methodian translation of the Bible and partly of new translations that follow younger, Latin liturgical patterns. Croatian Glagolitic biblical translations are also interesting for the study of the continuity of the parimejnik tradition, as well as for the literary and linguistic study of the Croatian biblical tradition. The article includes a descriptive overview of the relevant textological research on Croatian Glagolitic biblical translations and the corpus for the reconstruction of the Croatian Glagolitic Bible.

We perform the Lee-Yang and Fisher zero analyses in order to investigate the phase structure at $θ=π$. We find a first order phase transition at larger fermion mass. Both of the Lee-Yang zero and Fisher zero analyses indicate that the critical endpoint at which the first order phase transition terminates belongs to the Ising universality class.

description: The notion of the ‘Preslav redaction’ of the Church Slavonic Gospel, i. e. the full lectionary of the Preslav type, must be based on the distinctive readings shared by all the earliest manuscripts of this redaction. However, an analysis of places where the earliest manuscripts diverge is also necessary. This paper examines a number of such discrepancies and shows that at different points, the distribution of variant readings in the manuscripts differs. A particular group of manuscripts is singled out has having some readings resulting from correction against the Greek, but it is not clear whether these variants go back to the common source of the full lectionary of the Preslav type or have arisen due to a later revision. Interestingly, the same group provides evidence of the interventions of a Russian editor in the text. Textual discrepancies among manuscripts are characteristic not only of the Gospel manuscripts of the Preslav type, but of the Preslav redactions of the Church Slavonic Psalter and Apostolos as well. A comparative study of the Preslav redactions of the Gospel, Apostolos and Psalter could probably be beneficial for further investigation.

description: We theoretically investigate the superfluid density and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition of a two-dimensional Rashba spin-orbit coupled atomic Fermi gas with both in-plane and out-of-plane Zeeman fields. It was recently predicted that, by tuning the two Zeeman fields, the system may exhibit different exotic Fulde-Ferrell (FF) superfluid phases, including the gapped FF, gapless FF, gapless topological FF and gapped topological FF states. Due to the FF paring, we show that the superfluid density (tensor) of the system becomes anisotropic. When an in-plane Zeeman field is applied along the \textit{x}-direction, the tensor component along the \textit{y}-direction $n_{s,yy}$ is generally larger than $n_{s,xx}$ in most parameter space. At zero temperature, there is always a discontinuity jump in $n_{s,xx}$ as the system evolves from a gapped FF into a gapless FF state. With increasing temperature, such a jump is gradually washed out. The critical BKT temperature has been calculated as functions of the spin-orbit coupling strength, interatomic interaction strength, in-plane and out-of-plane Zeeman fields. We predict that the novel FF superfluid phases have a significant critical BKT temperature, typically at the order of $0.1T_{F}$, where $T_{F}$ is the Fermi degenerate temperature. Therefore, their observation is within the reach of current experimental techniques in cold-atom laboratories.

description: We present results for the thermal photon emissivity of the quark-gluon plasma derived from spatially transverse vector correlators computed in lattice QCD at a temperature of 250 MeV. The analysis of the spectral functions, performed at fixed spatial momentum, is based on continuum-extrapolated correlators obtained with two flavours of dynamical Wilson fermions. We compare the next-to-leading order perturbative QCD correlators, as well as the ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills correlators at infinite coupling, to the correlators from lattice QCD and find them to lie within $\sim10\%$ of each other. We then refine the comparison, performing it at the level of filtered spectral functions obtained model-independently via the Backus-Gilbert method. Motivated by these studies, for frequencies $ω\lesssim2.5\,$GeV we use fit ansätze to the spectral functions that perform well when applied to mock data generated from the NLO QCD or from the strongly-coupled SYM spectral functions, while the high-frequency part, $ω\gtrsim 2.5\,$GeV, is matched to NLO QCD. We compare our results for the photon emissivity to our previous analysis of a different vector channel at the same temperature. We obtain the most stringent constraint at photon momenta around $k\simeq0.8\,$GeV, for which we find a differential photon emission rate per unit volume of $dΓ_γ/d^3k = (α_{\rm em}/(\exp(k/T)-1))\times (2.2 \pm 0.8 ) \times 10^{-3}\,{\rm GeV}$.

description: The origin of the partial suppression of the electronic density states in the enigmatic pseudogap behavior, which is at the core of understanding high-$T_c$ superconductivity, has been hotly contested as either a hallmark of preformed Cooper pairs or an incipient order of competing interactions nearby. Here, we report the quasi-particle scattering spectroscopy of the quantum critical superconductor CeCoIn$_5$, where a pseudogap with energy $Δ_g$ was manifested as a dip in the differential conductance ($dI/dV$) below the characteristic temperature of $T_g$. When subjected to external pressure, $T_g$ and $Δ_g$ gradually increase, following the trend of increase in quantum entangled hybridization between Ce 4$f$ moment and conduction electrons. On the other hand, the superconducting (SC) energy gap and its phase transition temperature shows a maximum, revealing a dome shape under pressure. The disparate dependence on pressure between the two quantum states shows that the pseudogap is less likely involved in the formation of SC Cooper pairs, but rather is controlled by Kondo hybridization, indicating that a novel type of pseudogap is realized in CeCoIn$_5$.

An Indirect Handle on the Down-Quark Yukawa Coupling

description: To measure the Yukawa couplings of the up and down quarks, Y_{u,d}, seems to be far beyond the capabilities of current and (near) future experiments in particle physics. By performing a general analysis of the potential misalignment between quark masses and Yukawa couplings, we derive predictions for the magnitude of induced flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNCs), depending on the shift in the physical Yukawa coupling of first-generation quarks. We find that a shift of -100% in the down-quark Yukawa Y_d would generically result in ds transitions in conflict with Kaon physics. This could already be seen as evidence for a non-vanishing direct coupling of the down quark to the newly discovered Higgs boson. The non-observation of certain, already well-constrained, processes is thus turned into a powerful indirect measure of physical parameters of the effective Standard-Model, which are so far basically unconstrained from experiment and extremely challenging to access with other methods. In particular, we can already deduce that Y_d should vary at most by ~50% from its Standard Model value, barring an alignment of new physics effects with the SM Yukawa couplings. Such an (orthogonal) alignment scenario is however in general much easier to test at the LHC. Similarly, improvements in limits on FCNCs in the up-type quark sector can lead to valuable information on the physical Yukawa coupling of the up-quark.

title: PCR based approaches to the identification and classification of Leishmania
Creators: name: A. Noyes, H.
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was tested for the identification and classification of Leishmania. RAPD was found to be useful for the identification of species of L. (Leishmania) and L. (Yiannia) and for the classification of L. (Yiannia) species. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was tested for the identification of Leishmania from mammals and lizards, using both published primers and new primers which amplify kinetoplast minicircle DNA. The size of the PCR product was found to be useful for discriminating between some sympatric pairs of species such as L. braziliensis and L. mexicana. Isotopically labelled probes prepared from the variable region of the kinetoplast minicircle were tested for specificity for the identification of New and Old World species of Leishmania. The specificity was dependent on the concentration of target DNA and was manipulated to investigate relationships between Leishmania species. Restriction digests of kinetoplast DNA (schizodemes) prepared by PCR and by centrifugation through 20% sucrose were compared for the identification of strains of L. infantum and L. chagasi. Twenty three strains of L. chagasi from cases of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis in Honduras were examined by RAPD, schizodemes, differential display, isoenzyrnes, RFLPs and PFGE to discover whether genetic differences existed between parasites causing the two different pathologies. The parasites were found to be unusually homogeneous and no differences were found which correlated with pathology by any of these methods. Restriction digests of PCR amplified small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) (ribodemes) were tested to find markers specific for the genus Leishmania. A classification of the Leishmania based on the restriction fragments indicated that L. hertigi and L. herreri were more closely related to Endotrypanum than to Leishmania, and that the lizard Leishmania could not be placed in separate genus from the Leishmania. Ribodemes were used to identify two strains of parasites supplied by colleagues in Central America that could not be identified by existing methods for the identification of Leishmania. One of these strains appeared to be identical to a C. luciliae reference strain. The other strain produced a fingerprint unlike any of the available reference strains. A variable region of the SSU rRNA gene was identified that was suitable for classifying trypanosomatids and the sequence of this region was used to classify the strain that could not be identified by fingerprinting.

Peculiarities of the Slavonic manuscript witnesses are compared to what is known about the Greek witnesses of the catena with commentaries by Theodoret of Cyrrhus, the so-called Three Fathers, and Michael Psellus. The paper also focuses on the abridged version of the medieval Slavonic translation of the catena and its possible new edition. It asserts that the abridged version survives in full in a South Slavonic manuscript containing works attributed to Konstantin of Kostenets, a Bulgarian refugee (after the Ottoman invasion in the Bulgarian lands) at the court of Stefan Lazarević in Belgrade.

description: In this paper, we revisit the regret of undiscounted reinforcement learning in MDPs with a birth and death structure. Specifically, we consider a controlled queue with impatient jobs and the main objective is to optimize a trade-off between energy consumption and user-perceived performance. Within this setting, the \emph{diameter} $D$ of the MDP is $Ω(S^S)$, where $S$ is the number of states. Therefore, the existing lower and upper bounds on the regret at time$T$, of order $O(\sqrt{DSAT})$ for MDPs with $S$ states and $A$ actions, may suggest that reinforcement learning is inefficient here. In our main result however, we exploit the structure of our MDPs to show that the regret of a slightly-tweaked version of the classical learning algorithm {\sc Ucrl2} is in fact upper bounded by $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(\sqrt{E_2AT})$ where $E_2$ is related to the weighted second moment of the stationary measure of a reference policy. Importantly, $E_2$ is bounded independently of $S$. Thus, our bound is asymptotically independent of the number of states and of the diameter. This result is based on a careful study of the number of visits performed by the learning algorithm to the states of the MDP, which is highly non-uniform.

description: Medicare beneficiaries with cancer bear a greater portion of their health care costs, because cancer treatment costs have increased. Beneficiaries have supplemental insurance to reduce out-of-pocket costs; those without supplemental insurance may face barriers to care. This study examines the association between type of supplemental insurance coverage and receipt of chemotherapy among Medicare patients with cancer who, per National Comprehensive Cancer Network treatment guidelines, should generally receive chemotherapy.
Deep two-phase, hemispherical magma oceans on lava planets

description: Astronomers have discovered a handful of exoplanets with rocky bulk compositions but orbiting so close to their host star that the surface of the planet must be at least partially molten. It is expected that the dayside of such "lava planets" harbors a rock vapor atmosphere that flows quickly towards the airless nightside -- this partial atmosphere is critical to the interpretation of lava planet observations, but transports negligible heat towards the nightside. As a result, the surface temperature of the magma ocean may range from 3000~K near the sub-stellar point down to 1500~K near the day-night terminator. We use simple models incorporating the thermodynamics and geochemistry of partial melt to predict the physical and chemical properties of the magma ocean as a function of the distance from the sub-stellar point. Our two principal findings are that 1) the dayside magma ocean is much deeper than previously thought, probably extending down to the core-mantle boundary in some locations, and 2) much of the dayside is only partially molten, leading to gradients in the surface chemistry of the magma ocean. These findings have important implications for the dynamics of the magma ocean as well as the composition and dynamics of the atmosphere.

description: Time-dependent helium gas puff experiments have been performed on the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) during a two point plasma current scan in L-mode and a confinement scan at 900 kA. An evaluation of the He II spectrum line induced by charge exchange suggests anomalous rates of diffusion and inward convection in the outer regions of both L-mode plasmas. Similar rates of diffusion are found in the H-mode plasma, however these rates are consistent with neoclassical predictions. The anomalous inward pinch found in the core of L-mode plasmas is also not apparent in the H-mode core. Linear gyrokinetic simulations of one flux surface in L-mode using the gs2 and gkw codes find that equilibrium flow shear is sufficient to stabilise ITG modes, consistent with BES observations, and suggest that collisionless TEMs may dominate the anomalous helium particle transport. A quasilinear estimate of the dimensionless peaking factor associated with TEMs is in good agreement with experiment. Collisionless TEMs are more stable in H-mode because the electron density gradient is flatter. The steepness of this gradient is therefore pivotal in determining the inward neoclassical particle pinch and the particle flux associated with TEM turbulence.

Quotations from Ecclesiastes in Church Slavonic texts
Creators: name: Osinkina, Lyubov Vasilievna
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2017

description: The article deals with the quotations from Ecclesiastes in early translated texts and in original Old Rus’ literature. Quotations found in medieval Slavonic texts, both translated and original, appear to be independent of the translation of continuous Ecclesiastes known from manuscripts of around the 15th century; they do not give positive support for the existence of a complete translation before the 15th century. However, the quotations prove that parts of Ecclesiastes were known in some form of exegetical compilations.

description: Resumo:

O presente artigo faz parte de uma tradição recente de pesquisas que investigam a avaliação como recurso interpessoal no discurso em contextos dos mais variados. Compõe basicamente uma análise sobre os artifícios avaliativo-discursivos que asseguram a autoridade científica a partir do mapeamento dos elementos de engajamento e gradação capazes de articular a identidade do resenhista em resenhas acadêmicas da área de Linguística. Nesse sentido, o que se investiga são os recursos linguísticos pelos quais o resenhista adota uma postura no sentido de valorizar ou não posições que estão sendo referenciadas no texto e de escalonar, conforme seus propósitos, a intensidade e/ou precisão de seus pareceres. O que se observa é como a avaliatividade nesse gênero pode ser resultado de uma relação cinética de uma estrutura ainda maior em que estão contextualizadas as diversas ciências sociais em geral.

Abstract:

This paper belongs to a recent research tradition into evaluation as a resource to interpersonal discourse in a variety of contexts. It basically comprises primarily an analysis of evaluative-discursive devices that ensure the scientific authority from the mapping of elements of engagement and graduation able to articulate the reviewer identity in academic reviews in the area of linguistics. Thus, it investigating the linguistic resources by which the reviewer takes a stance in order to recover or not the positions that are being referenced in the text and how the evaluation of this genre in the scale, as its purpose, intensity and/or accuracy of their opinions. What is observed is as evaluative in that genre may be the result of a kinetic relationship of a structure even that is more that are contextualized in the social sciences in general.

On the origin of chaotic attractors with two zero Lyapunov exponents in a system of five biharmonically coupled phase oscillators

description: We study chaotic dynamics in a system of four differential equations describing the dynamics of five identical globally coupled phase oscillators with biharmonic coupling. We show that this system exhibits strange spiral attractors (Shilnikov attractors) with two zero (indistinguishable from zero in numerics) Lyapunov exponents in a wide region of the parameter space. We explain this phenomenon by means of bifurcation analysis of the three-dimensional Poincaré map for the system under consideration. We show that the chaotic dynamics develop here near a codimension three bifurcation, when a periodic orbit (fixed point in the Poincaré map) has the triplet $(1, 1, 1)$ of multipliers. As it is known, the asymptotic flow normal form for this bifurcation coincides with the three-dimensional Arneodo-Coullet-Spiegel-Tresser (ACST) system in which spiral attractors exist. Based on this, we conclude that the additional near-zero Lyapunov exponent for orbits in the observed attractors appear due to the fact that the corresponding three-dimensional Poincaré map is close to the time-shift map of the three-dimensional ACST-system.

Славянские переводы творений святого Мефодия Патарского. К вопросу о славянской версии ранних святоотеческих текстов, посвященных библейской экзегезе

description: This article is about the work of the ante-nicene father Methodius, bishop of Patara (†304). The central topic of St. Methodius’ writings is biblical exegesis. According to scholars, apart from the debate with Origen, his most important contribution is the formulation of the theological basis of virginity practice, which anticipate the foundation of monasticism in the early Christian tradition. The preserved Greek corpus of St. Methodius’ works may be effectively completed with the old Slavic translations, most of which are to be found in Russian collections. The need for such a research was already noticed at the first Congress of Slavists (Prague 1929): the present article contains a brief survey of the studies of Western scholars such as N. Bonwetsch (†1925) and A. Vaillant (†1977) and of the Russian patrologists E. Lovjagin (†1909) and archbishop M. Chub (†1985). Furthermore, the author draws the guidelines for the edition of the complete corpus of St. Methodius works, on the basis of Greek and Slavic sources. By way of example, the appendix con-tains the Slavonic translation of Methodius’ De sanguisuga ad Eustochium, which is not preserved in the original Greek version. The text is the reproduction of a 16th century copy from the Mss. department of the Russian National Library.
