description: Driven quantum systems exhibit a large variety of interesting and sometimes exotic phenomena. Of particular interest are driven conformal field theories (CFTs) which describe quantum many-body systems at criticality. In this paper, we develop both a spacetime and a quantum information geometry perspective on driven 2d CFTs. We show that for a large class of driving protocols the theories admit an alternative but equivalent formulation in terms of a CFT defined on a spacetime with a time-dependent metric. We prove this equivalence both in the operator formulation as well as in the path integral description of the theory. A complementary quantum information geometric perspective for driven 2d CFTs employs the so-called Bogoliubov-Kubo-Mori (BKM) metric, which is the counterpart of the Fisher metric of classical information theory, and which is obtained from a perturbative expansion of relative entropy. We compute the BKM metric for the universal sector of Virasoro excitations of a thermal state, which captures a large class of driving protocols, and find it to be a useful tool to classify and characterize different types of driving. For Möbius driving by the SL(2,R) subgroup, the BKM metric becomes the hyperbolic metric on the unit disk. We show how the non-trivial dynamics of Floquet driven CFTs is encoded in the BKM geometry via Möbius transformations. This allows us to identify ergodic and non-ergodic regimes in the driving. We also explain how holographic driven CFTs are dual to driven BTZ black holes with evolving horizons. The deformation of the black hole horizon towards and away from the asymptotic boundary provides a holographic understanding of heating and cooling in Floquet CFTs.

description: We report our study of the optical pumping effect in absorption imaging of $^{23}$Na atoms in the $F=1$ hyperfine spin states. Solving a set of rate equations for the spin populations in the presence of a probe beam, we obtain an analytic expression for the optical signal of the $F=1$ absorption imaging. Furthermore, we verify the result by measuring the absorption spectra of $^{23}$Na Bose-Einstein condensates prepared in various spin states with different probe beam pulse durations. The analytic result can be used in the quantitative analysis of $F=1$ spinor condensate imaging and readily applied to other alkali atoms with $I=3/2$ nuclear spin such as $^{87}$Rb.

description: We study analytic solutions to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) gap equation for isotropic superconductors with finite-range interaction potentials over the full range of temperatures from absolute zero to the superconducting critical temperature, $0\leq T\leq T_c$. Using these solutions, $Δ(ε,T)$, we provide a proof of the universality of the temperature dependence of the BCS gap ratio at the Fermi level, $Δ(ε=0,T)/T_c$. Moreover, by examining the behavior of this ratio as a function of energy, $ε$, we find that non-universal features emerge away from the Fermi level, and these features take the form of a temperature independent multiplicative factor, $F(ε)$, which is equal to $Δ(ε,T)/Δ(ε=0,T)$ up to exponentially small corrections, i.e., the error terms vanish like $\rm{e}^{-1/λ}$ in the weak-coupling limit $λ\rightarrow 0$. We discuss the model-dependent features of both $F(ε)$ and $T_c$, and we illustrate their behavior focusing on several concrete examples of physically-relevant finite-range potentials. Comparing these cases for fixed coupling constants, we highlight the importance of the functional form of the interaction potential in determining the size of the critical temperature and provide guidelines for choosing potentials which lead to higher values of $T_c$. We also propose experimental signatures which could be used to probe the energy-dependence of the gap and potentially shed light on the underlying mechanisms giving rise to superconductivity.

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The glass transition temperature and its connection to statistical properties of confined and free-standing polymer films of varying thickness containing unentangled to highly entangled bead-spring chains are studied by molecular dynamics simulations. For confined films, perfect scaling of the thickness-dependent end-to-end distance and radius of gyrations normalized to their bulk values in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the surfaces is obtained. Particularly, the reduced end-to-end distance in the perpendicular direction is very well described by the extended Silberberg model. For bulk polymer melts, the relation between chain length and $T_g$ follows the Fox-Flory equation while $T_g$ for a given film thickness is almost independent of chain length. For films, $T_g$ decreases and is well described by Keddie's formula, where the reduction is more pronounced for free-standing films. For the present model, $T_g$ begins to deviate from bulk $T_g$ at the characteristic film thickness, where the average bond orientation becomes anisotropic and the entanglement density decreases.

description: The second of eight diaries written by Archie Wills during World War I. Wills describes the voyage from Fort MacAuley, British Columbia to the training camp at Petawawa, Ontario. Wills discusses his accommodations, food, training, schooling, the weather and the comradery at the training camp at Petawawa, Ontario. The diary covers the period of leaving Victoria on the 28th of May 1916 for Vancouver, and the by the C.P.R. train from Kamloops to Revelstoke, Rockies, Prairies, Medicine Hat, Moose Jaw, Regina, Winnipeg, Kenora, White River, Sudbury, then finally to Petawawa, ON, arriving in June 1916. Wills describes the living conditions, such as the mosquitoes, the thunder storms and the flooding of the tents and the mess room, the scorching heat of up to 100 and 106 degrees fahrenheit in the shade as well as a sandstorm, which ruined the food. He writes about the drill training, the parades, picking up of provisions, shooting practices, instruction on an “8-powder”, riding exercises and went on night excursions. The activities in the camp are oftentimes interrupted and abandoned due to excessive rainfall. During their spare time and on hot days the soldiers took swims in the Ottawa River and Petawawa River, played basketball, and read. From July 10th until July 15th Wills visited the Knapps [?] in Toronto, where he attended a wedding and visited the aviation school. On June 23rd 1916 Wills was selected as a member of the parade to perform before the Duke of Connaught who was expected for a visit on the following Tuesday. On June 24th Wills performed before the Duke at Drury Place [?]. Wills’ diary records humorous interactions between the soldiers, their daily interactions and hardships, as well as an attempted desertion by 3 Americans. On September 8th 1916 Wills departs from Petawawa for Great Britain. People mentioned include: Bill Newton, George, Lomas, McDougall, the Knapps[?], Duke of Connaught

description: Constructing a high-quality dense map in real-time is essential for robotics, AR/VR, and digital twins applications. As Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) greatly improves the mapping performance, in this paper, we propose a NeRF-based mapping method that enables higher-quality reconstruction and real-time capability even on edge computers. Specifically, we propose a novel hierarchical hybrid representation that leverages implicit multiresolution hash encoding aided by explicit octree SDF priors, describing the scene at different levels of detail. This representation allows for fast scene geometry initialization and makes scene geometry easier to learn. Besides, we present a coverage-maximizing keyframe selection strategy to address the forgetting issue and enhance mapping quality, particularly in marginal areas. To the best of our knowledge, our method is the first to achieve high-quality NeRF-based mapping on edge computers of handheld devices and quadrotors in real-time. Experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms existing NeRF-based mapping methods in geometry accuracy, texture realism, and time consumption.

Assessment of VCT utilization for HIV/AIDS among government and non-government employees in Butajira, SNNPR, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Wondwossen, Mulugeta
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2007

description: Background: It is only recently that voluntary counseling and testing services have been considered important as an entry point for prevention and care interventions for HIV/AIDS. Access to voluntary counseling and testing services, however, remains limited and the demand for the service is often low. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess magnitude of utilization of voluntary counseling and testing for HIV/AIDS and to identify factors and barriers that affect VCT utilization among government and non-government employees in Butajira town, SNNPR. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that was conducted among 347 government and 349 non-government employee in Butajira town, Gurage Zone, southern Ethiopia. This study used two stage sampling, the first stage was cluster sampling to select randomly seven sectors from government organizations, and another seven blocks from non-governmental organizations, taking sectors and blocks as a sampling unit for government and nongovernment organizations, respectively. The study used a standardized and pretested questionnaire for the quantitative study and four focus group discussions for the qualitative study. Data was analyzed by binary analysis using the logistic regression in SPSS. Results: A total of 736 study participants were eligible in this study, 696 were willing to participate in the study, among these 347 (49.9%) were government employees and 349 (50.1%) were non-government employees. The mean age of the respondents was 31.2 years. The magnitude of VCT utilization in the study participants was 37.9% with a 95% CI (34.3% and 41.5%). Voluntary counseling test utilization was higher to statistically significant level among female participants, higher educational status, married individuals and individuals having a monthly income of 1000 birr or more than their referents. Conclusion: The current study demonstrated that VCT utilization is low in Butajira town although it is higher than the reported prevalence for urban areas n the country. The result of this study indicates that VCT users are mainly government employees and females

description: The issue concerning the nature and the role of microstructural inhomogeneities in iron chalcogenide superconducting crystals of FeTe0.65Se0.35 and their correlation with transport properties of this system was addressed. Presented data demonstrate that chemical disorder originating from the kinetics of the crystal growth process significantly influences the superconducting properties of an Fe-Te-Se system. Transport measurements of the transition temperature and critical current density performed for microscopic bridges allow us to deduce the local properties of a superconductor with microstructural inhomogeneities, and significant differences were noted. The variances observed in the local properties were explained as a consequence of weak superconducting links existing in the studied crystals. The results confirm that inhomogeneous spatial distribution of ions and small hexagonal symmetry nanoscale regions with nanoscale phase separation also seem to enhance the superconductivity in this system with respect to the values of the critical current density. Magnetic measurements confirm the conclusions drawn from the transport measurements.

description: The first of eight diaries written by Archie Wills during World War I. The diary covers the period of his training at Fort Macaulay and relocation to the Fort Work Barracks, both in Esquimalt, British Columbia. Wills writes of his decision to join the 5th Regiment, C.G.A, his anticipation of overseas service, camp life, and conditions during a blizzard at Fort Macaulay, the transition from office work to hard labour, guard duty, food rations, leisure and sports activities, and interactions with fellow soldiers and officers. The diary includes descriptions of military training and exercises, including instruction in artillery, signaling and trigonometry, shooting practice and rifle and bayonet drills, and horseback riding lessons. Wills’ diary illustrates the attitudes and activities of his fellow soldiers and records humorous dialogue, nicknames given to Fort Macaulay by the soldiers, comments on military hierarchy, and an account of a discussion about Canadian identity. At the Work Point Barracks, Wills writes about swearing in for overseas service (April 14, 1916), working in the orderly office, and his promotion to “Bombardier” (May 13, 1916). People mentioned include: Bill (William) White, Lieutenant Clearihue, Lieutenant Prior, Sergeant Major McDougall, Bill (William) Creach, Bill (William) Newton and George Lomas.

description: We model the influence of an in-plane magnetic field on the orbital motion of electrons in rhombohedral graphene multilayers. For zero field, the low-energy band structure includes a pair of flat bands near zero energy which are localized on the surface layers of a finite thin film. For finite field, we find that the zero-energy bands persist and that level bifurcations occur at energies determined by the component of the in-plane wave vector $q$ that is parallel to the external field. The occurrence of level bifurcations is explained by invoking semiclassical quantization of the zero field Fermi surface of rhombohedral graphite. We find parameter regions with a single isoenergetic contour of Berry phase zero corresponding to a conventional Landau level spectrum and regions with two isoenergetic contours, each of Berry phase $π$, corresponding to a Dirac-like spectrum of levels. We write down an analogous one-dimensional tight-binding model and relate the persistence of the zero-energy bands in large magnetic fields to a soliton texture supporting zero-energy states in the Su-Schreiffer-Heeger model. We show that different states contributing to the zero-energy flat bands in rhombohedral graphene multilayers in a large field, as determined by the wave vector $q$, are localized on different bulk layers of the system, not just the surfaces.

description: Manipulating the interlayer twist angle is a powerful tool to tailor the properties of layered two-dimensional crystals. The twist angle has a determinant impact on these systems' atomistic structure and electronic properties. This includes the corrugation of individual layers, formation of stacking domains and other structural elements, and electronic structure changes due to the atomic reconstruction and superlattice effects. However, how these properties change with the twist angle (ta) is not yet well understood. Here, we monitor the change of twisted bilayer MoS2 characteristics as function of ta. We identify distinct structural regimes, with particular structural and electronic properties. We employ a hierarchical approach ranging from a reactive force field through the density-functional-based tight-binding approach and density-functional theory. To obtain a comprehensive overview, we analyzed a large number of twisted bilayers with twist angles in the range 0.2-59.6deg. Some systems include up to half a million atoms, making structure optimization and electronic property calculation challenging. For 13

description: We present theoretical studies of condensation of indirect excitons in a trap. Our model quantifies the effect of screening of the trap potential by indirect excitons on exciton condensation. The theoretical studies are applied to a system of indirect excitons in a GaAs/AlGaAs coupled quantum well structure in a diamond-shaped electrostatic trap where exciton condensation was studied in earlier experiments. The estimated condensation temperature of the indirect excitons in the trap reaches hundreds of milliKelvin.

In particular we include "washout" effects from scattering processes with gauge bosons, Higgs decays and inverse decays, besides the dominant top scatterings. We show that in the minimal model with two singlets, and for an inverted light neutrino ordering, future measurements from SHiP and neutrinoless double beta decay could in principle provide sufficient information to predict the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. We also show that SHiP measurements could provide very valuable information on the PMNS CP phases.

Thermodynamics of Horndeski black holes with non-minimal derivative coupling

description: We explore thermodynamic properties of a new class of Horndeski black holes whose action contains a non-minimal kinetic coupling of a massless real scalar and the Einstein tensor. Our treatment is based on the well-accepted consideration, where the cosmological constant is dealt with as thermodynamic pressure and the mass of black holes as thermodynamic enthalpy. We resort to a newly introduced intensive thermodynamic variable, i.e., the coupling strength of the scalar and tensor whose dimension is length square, and thus yield both the generalized first law of thermodynamics and the generalized Smarr relation. Our result indicates that this class of Horndeski black holes presents rich thermodynamic behaviors and critical phenomena. Especially in the case of the presence of an electric field, these black holes undergo two phase transitions. Once the charge parameter exceeds its critical value, or the cosmological parameter does not exceed its critical value, no phase transitions happen and the black holes are stable. As a by-product, we point out that the coupling strength acts as the thermodynamic pressure in the behavior of thermodynamics.

description: We revisit the phenomenology of neutrinoless double beta ($0νββ$) decay mediated by non-interfering exchange of light and heavy Majorana neutrinos, in the context of current and prospective ton-scale experimental searches, as well as of recent calculations of nuclear matrix elements (NME) in different nuclear models. We derive joint upper bounds on the light and heavy contributions to $0νββ$ decay, for different sets of NME, through separate and combined data coming from the following experiments (and isotopes): KamLAND-Zen and EXO (Xe), GERDA, and MAJORANA (Ge) and CUORE (Te). We further consider three proposed projects that could provide, within current bounds, possible $0νββ$ decay signals at $>\!3σ$ level with an exposure of 10 ton years: nEXO (Xe), LEGEND (Ge) and CUPID (Mo). Separate and combined (Xe, Ge, Mo) signals are studied for different representative cases and NME sets, and the conditions leading to (non)degenerate light and heavy neutrino mechanisms are discussed. In particular, the role of heavy-to-light NME ratios in different isotopes is highlighted through appropriate graphical representations. By using different sets of "true" and "test" NME as a proxy for nuclear uncertainties, it is shown that the relative contributions of light and heavy neutrino exchange to $0νββ$ signals may be significantly biased in some cases. Implications for theoretical models connecting light and heavy Majorana neutrino masses are also briefly illustrated. These results provide further motivations to improve NME calculations, so as to better exploit the physics potential of future multi-isotope $0νββ$ searches at the ton scale.

description: Background: Ethiopia is within the meningitis belt and experiences local meningitis epidemics almost yearly. Most of the causes of meningococcal meningitis outbreak in the country is due to serogroup A. On 01 May 2013 Hababu Guduru District of Oromia region reported a suspected meningitis outbreak to the Federal Public Health Emergency Management Center. Investigated was launched to identify the etiological agent, risk factors and to implement control measures. Methods: A suspected case was defined as any person with a history of sudden onset of fever and one of the following signs neck stiffness, altered consciousness or other meningeal signs. A descriptive study was done than followed by an unmatched case-control study from 01-28 May 2013. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 57 cases and 57 controls. Controls were any person in the village without sign or symptoms of meningitis. Results: The descriptive study reviled a total of 244 suspected meningitis cases and two deaths (CFR= 0.8%). One hundred forty nine (61.1%) were female. The overall attack rate was 46/10,000 and the highest rate was among children aged 5-14 years (AOR=79/10,000). In the case control study, a multivariate analysis showed attendance in a public gathering area (AOR=3.3; 95% CI= 1.3-8.2), sharing a bedroom with more than two people (AOR=10.5; 95%CI=3.2-33.9) and living with a sick family member (AOR= 26.7; 95%CI=4.0-175.5) were associated with meningitis. There was no history of vaccination in the community for N. meningitidis. Eleven cerebro spinal fluid specimens(CSF) were collected, and nine were positive for Neisseria meningitidis W135 in a rapid latex agglutination test at district level. Of these seven CSF specimens were sent to National laboratory which were negative by culture. 2 Conclusion: A suspected meningococcal meningitis outbreak in Hababu Guduru district mainly affects females and age group 5-14 years. Overcrowding was significantly associated with the outbreak. Health education and increasing laboratory capacity for RT-PCR for better diagnostic capacity is recommended in the future.

description: We compute the boundary entropy for bond percolation on the square lattice in the presence of a boundary loop weight, and prove explicit and exact expressions on a strip and on a cylinder of size $L$. For the cylinder we provide a rigorous asymptotic analysis which allows for the computation of finite-size corrections to arbitrary order. For the strip we provide exact expressions that have been verified using high-precision numerical analysis. Our rigorous and exact results corroborate an argument based on conformal field theory, in particular concerning universal logarithmic corrections for the case of the strip due to the presence of corners in the geometry. We furthermore observe a crossover at a special value of the boundary loop weight.

description: Background: Very high number of unsafe abortions occurre annually in Asia and Africa given the high and still increasing rate of HIV prevalence among women of reproductive age in these regions. In Ethiopia the national HIV prevalence among women estimated to be 4 % which is higher than men and it has been speculated that the prevalence rate may be higher among women seeking pregnancy termination than ANC attendants. Objective: To assess the risk factors of HIV/AIDS among women receiving post abortion care in 5 public hospitals of Addis Ababa. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from February to March 2007. A total of 405 participants were interviewed using structured questionnaire. An in-depth interview was also conducted in 5 % of study subjects and heads of post abortion care units of sampled hospitals. Results: The odds of having perceived HIV infection risk was 2 times higher among women who presented with induced abortion compared with spontaneous one (P< 0.05, OR=1.91 (1.02, 3.60 Marital status, number of sexual partner(s), occupational status and having sex first with permanent sexual partners were found to have significant statistical association with high HIV infection perception risk. Misconception on the mode of transmission and prevention of HIV was assessed by the educational status and it revealed that misconception statistically associated with being not educated (p< 0.05, df= 1, x2 = 5.44). However, no significance statistical associations observed on knowledge and misconception by the type of abortion (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The perceived HIV infection risk of the study subjects in general and single and employed women in particular were high. Therefore, special attention should be given to women who are at risk to HIV infection.

description: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage der Chancen und Grenzen von offenen Unterrichtsformen in Integrationsklassen. Untersucht wird, inwieweit Sonderschüler/innen mit einer Lernbeeinträchtigung bei dieser Unterrichtsform am Unterricht teilhaben und profitieren können und wo Grenzen liegen. Die Daten werden einerseits durch Literaturrecherche, andererseits durch Leitfadeninterviews mit Praktiker/innen, schulischen Heilpädagogen/innen, welche in einer Integrationsklasse arbeiten und offene Unterrichtsformen umsetzen, erhoben. Nach der Einleitung werden die gesetzlichen Vorlagen erläutert und die relevanten Begriffe geklärt. Es wird der Lernbehinderten-, der Reformpädagogik und der Unterrichtsdidaktik nachgegangen, um aus dieser Sicht die Chancen und Grenzen aufzuzeigen. Aussagen von Kritikern und Befürwortern werden genannt. Daraus werden positive (Chancen) und negative (Grenzen) theoriegeleitete Aussagen formuliert. Die Forschungsfrage mit Teilfragen und Hypothesen wird erläutert. Im Folgenden werden die zentralen Forschungsbegriffe der Untersuchung geklärt und das forschungsmethodische Vorgehen aufgezeigt. Die Daten aus den Interviews werden anhand der aus der Theorie abgeleiteten Kategorien zugeordnet. Daraus werden positive und negative praxisbezogene Aussagen formuliert. Die theoriegeleiteten und praxisbezogenen Aussagen werden einander gegenübergestellt und bei Übereinstimmung zu jeweils einer These pro Kategorie zusammengefasst. Diese Thesen werden einander wiederum gegenübergestellt und auf Unterschiede und Übereinstimmungen überprüft und interpretiert. Im letzten Teil der Arbeit werden die Teilfragen und die Forschungsfrage beantwortet, es werden Chancen und Grenzen von offenen Unterrichtsformen in Integrationsklassen betreffend Sonderschüler/innen mit einer Lernbeeinträchtigung genannt. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen die Hypothese, dass alle Schüler/innen von offenen Unterrichtsformen profitieren können. Es ergaben sich einige Chancen und Grenzen, welche bei der Vorbereitung von offenem Unterricht als zu bedenkende Faktoren festgehalten werden können. Entscheidend ist, dass ein gewisser Grad von Öffnung vorliegt. Öffnung wiederum bedingt klare Strukturen. Die Lehrpersonen spielen eine entscheidende Rolle.

description: Ein Raumgeometrieunterricht ohne die Verwendung bzw. das Arbeiten mit real angreifbaren Körpermodellen scheint undenkbar – und das in allen Ausbildungsstufen vom Kindergarten bis zur Universität. Das sind Modelle vom Würfel, seinem Netz, von den hier allseits bekannten Grundkörpern, das sind diverse Kegelschnittsmodelle, von den Dandelinschen Kugeln beim ebenen Zylinderschnitt bis hin etwa zur Dupinschen Zyklide. Modelle gehören einfach zum Geometrieunterricht [MÜLLER 2012]. Modelle sollen helfen, eine Grundvorstellung von Raumgeometrie zu entwickeln, Raumobjekte darzustellen und damit zu operieren. Oft scheint es, dass selbst kreative Architekten direkt die in ihrer Ausbildung kennengelernten Geometrieobjekte realisieren. Im Unterricht ist es in der Regel so, dass Modelle helfen sollen, bestimmte räumliche Vorgänge zu verstehen, zu verinnerlichen und so eine Kompetenz zu erwerben, Probleme ohne reale 3D-Modelle nur mit Hilfe von Skizzen oder 2D-Zeichnungen zu lösen. Geometriemodelle sollen eine Skizze nicht ersetzen, nicht „supplantieren“. Und um die Frage der Gültigkeit eines gewissen Supplantationseffektes im Unterricht geht es in der Folge.

description: We study the $η$ and $η'$ distribution amplitudes (DAs) in the context of a nonlocal SU(3)_L x SU(3)_R chiral quark model. The corresponding Lagrangian allows to reproduce the phenomenological values of pseudoscalar meson masses and decay constants, as well as the momentum dependence of the quark propagator arising from lattice calculations. It is found that the obtained DAs have two symmetric maxima, which arise from new contributions generated by the nonlocal character of the interactions. These DAs are then applied to the calculation of the $η$-$γ$ and $η'$-$γ$ transition form factors. Implications of our results regarding higher twist corrections and/or contributions to the transition form factors originated by gluon-gluon components in the $η$ and $η'$ mesons are discussed.

description: KIC 3230227 is a short period ($P\approx 7.0$ days) eclipsing binary with a very eccentric orbit ($e=0.6$). From combined analysis of radial velocities and {\it Kepler} light curves, this system is found to be composed of two A-type stars, with masses of $M_1=1.84\pm 0.18M_{\odot}$, $M_2=1.73\pm 0.17M_{\odot}$ and radii of $R_1=2.01\pm 0.09R_{\odot}$, $R_2=1.68\pm 0.08 R_{\odot}$ for the primary and secondary, respectively. In addition to an eclipse, the binary light curve shows a brightening and dimming near periastron, making this a somewhat rare eclipsing heartbeat star system. After removing the binary light curve model, more than ten pulsational frequencies are present in the Fourier spectrum of the residuals, and most of them are integer multiples of the orbital frequency. These pulsations are tidally driven, and both the amplitudes and phases are in agreement with predictions from linear tidal theory for $l=2, m=-2$ prograde modes.
