description: A significant decline of gonorrhea incidence has been observed during the years 1990-99. However, a slight increase in the number of cases has been reported in 2000. In addition, an increase in resistant strains has been found in Thailand. In this study, 207 isolates of N. gonorrhoeae from patients attending Bangrak hospital (National Centre of Sexually Transmitted Infections), 67 isolates obtained during January-March 2000, 74 isolates obtained during January-March 2002, and 66 isolates obtained during October-December 2002, were tested. All isolates were susceptible to ceftriaxone while 71.5% and 74.4% were resistant to penicillin and quinolone, respectively. The high level of ciprofloxacin resistance (MIC =4 mg/L) also increased from 13.4% during January-March 2000 to 25.8% during October-December 2002. Multiple resistance determinants commonly coexisted in a single isolate so that the level of resistance was increased. The incidence of double resistance determinants, penicillin and quinolone resistance, were significantly increased from 34.3% among isolates during January to March 2000 up to 77.3% among isolates during October to December 2002 (P < 0.001). In addition, an isolate obtained in 2002 resisted to spectinomycin with a high MIC (>1.024 g/L). Several plasmid patterns have been identified and various patterns of the plasmid can be artificially transferred and maintained their expression in Escherichia coli transformants. Such evidences infer the high mobility of resistant genome among microorganisms in the region. Moreover, the significant increase in penicillin and quinolone resistance herein, indicates the selective pressure and the diversity of genomic distribution among N. gonorrhoeae in Thailand. Primers JDA (5-TAC TCA ATC GGT AAT TGG CTT C-3) and JDB (5-CCA TAT CAC CGT CGG TAC TG-3) have been designed from sequences of the Asia, the Africa, and the Toronto ß-lactamase plasmids. By using the JDA and the JDB as PCR primers, our data reveal the highest prevalence and a significantly increasing trend of the epidemic Africa type of genomic ß-lactamase.

description: This document is the initial plan for communication and dissemination of the PRecycling project and includes the main activities that will be carried out for the entire duration of the project (M01 - M48). The document sets the strategic framework for communication and dissemination of the project results and will be available to all project partners. The aim of the Dissemination, Communication and Awareness Plan is to establish and run the visibility and communication infrastructure of the project so that all activities carried out during the project lifetime will be widely known in Europe.The dissemination activities have been designed to target the key audiences and stakeholders and to maximise awareness of PRecyling objectives and project activities. Today, just a handful of activities have been started, but many activities are scheduled to be done later.The Dissemination, Communication and Awareness Plan gives an overview of all dissemination opportunities identified through traditional communication channels such as event attendance (conferences, seminars, workshops, etc.), project publications (brochures, press releases, articles in professional journals, etc.) and project presentations (to various stakeholders and the general public).European Plastics Converters (EuPC) will coordinate and manage PRecycling dissemination and communication activities. Nevertheless, all the project partners will be responsible to disseminate PRecycling results through their communication channels and towards their existing communities.

Effect of nutrition education and counseling on knowledge and dietary practice of pregnant women: A cluster randomized controlled trial in urban setting of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Mohammedsanni, Afrah
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Background: The first 1,000 days of life, from the first day of pregnancy until the child is 24 months old is a critical window of opportunity for health and development. It is essential for pregnant women to have adequate knowledge in order to achieve optimal nutritional status during pregnancy. Antenatal care is a key unit for provision of nutrition information for pregnant women. It is critical for health care providers to have adequate knowledge and skill necessary to be able to provide sufficient nutritional information for pregnant women. However, studies show lack of adequate knowledge and skill among health care providers. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition education and counseling in improving knowledge and dietary behavior of pregnant women. Method: We conducted a cluster randomized controlled trial in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Health centers were allocated to intervention and control arms using a matched-pair randomization scheme. 40 health care providers from intervention arm were trained on pregnancy nutrition and counseling skills. 683 pregnant women (347 from intervention and 336 from control) were included from 20 health centers. We estimated deference in deference (DID) impact of intervention using mixed-effect linear regression with health center catchment area as random effect. Result: Pregnant women's knowledge on food groups, use of iron folic acid supplement, benefits of balanced diet and consequence of under nutrition showed a significant improvement (P <0.001) Pregnant women of intervention arm were observed to have a significantly higher knowledge on using iodized salt (difference in proportion (DP) 24.3% vs 1.7; DID 23%), duration of iron folic acid supplementation (DP 70.9% vs 3.4; DID 68%) and having one additional meal (DP 54.3% vs 4.3; DID 49.9%). Significant improvement was also observed on dietary diversity (DP 39.0% vs 4.5; DID 32.3%) and having one additional meal to the diet (DP 36.7% vs 24.7; DID 12.8%). Pregnant women of intervention arm improved their consumption of dairy per week (DID 1.2). Intake of iron folic acid supplement has shown an improvement of 3 more days per week (D 4.9 vs 1.6; DID 3.2). However, effect of knowledge on initiation of breast feeding (P = 0.089) and dietary frequency of grains (P = 0.067) appears to be statistically insignificant. Conclusion: Nutrition education and counseling improves pregnant women's nutritional knowledge and dietary behavior in urban settings.

description: We define and compute the dressed elliptic genus of N = 2 heterotic compactifications with torsion that are principal two-torus bundles over a K3 surface. We consider the most general gauge bundle compatible with supersymmetry, a stable holomorphic vector bundle over the base together with an Abelian bundle over the total space, generalizing the computation previously done by the authors in the absence of the latter. Starting from a (0,2) gauged linear sigma-model with torsion we use supersymmetric localization to obtain the result. We provide also a mathematical definition of the dressed elliptic genus as a modified Euler characteristic and prove that both expressions agree for hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces. Finally we show that it admits a natural decomposition in terms of N = 4 superconformal characters, that may be useful to investigate moonshine phenomena for this wide class of N = 2 vacua, that includes K3*T2 compactifications as special cases.

description: Quantitative tracking of features from video images is a basic technique employed in many areas of science. Here, we present a method for the tracking of features that partially overlap, in order to be able to track so-called colloidal molecules. Our approach implements two improvements into existing particle tracking algorithms. Firstly, we use the history of previously identified feature locations to successfully find their positions in consecutive frames. Secondly, we present a framework for non-linear least-squares fitting to summed radial model functions and analyze the accuracy (bias) and precision (random error) of the method on artificial data. We find that our tracking algorithm correctly identifies overlapping features with an accuracy below 0.2% of the feature radius and a precision of 0.1 to 0.01 pixels for a typical image of a colloidal cluster. Finally, we use our method to extract the three-dimensional diffusion tensor from the Brownian motion of colloidal dimers.

description: Ferromagnetic Josephson junctions exhibit fascinating physics and the potential for applications in superconducting logic and memory. The junctions in a demonstrated superconducting memory prototype contain a magnetic spin-valve structure with Ni as the fixed layer and NiFe (Permalloy) as the free layer. However, NiFe exhibits poor supercurrent transmission, which limits the efficiency of the Josephson junction. We have previously shown that the supercurrent transmission through a Cu/NiFe/Cu trilayer can be improved by adding thin layers of Ni between the Cu and NiFe -- possibly due to the advantageous spin-dependent transport properties of the Cu/Ni interfaces. In this work we explore this idea further by replacing the Cu/NiFe interfaces with Pd/NiFe, which also have more desirable transport properties. Compared to the reference junctions containing Cu/NiFe interfaces, the new junctions exhibit an increase in the $π$-state supercurrent by a factor of 2 along with a change in the position of the first $0-π$ transition.

description: In this article, we introduce the concept of the boundary complexity and prove that for a 2-multiplicative integer system (2-MIS) $X^{p}_Ω$ on $\mathbb{N}$ (or $X^{\bf p}_Ω$ on $\mathbb{N}^d,d\geq 2$), every point in $[h(X^p_Ω), \log r]$ can be realized as a boundary complexity of a 2-MIS with a specific speed, where r stands for the number of the alphabets. The result is new and quite different from $\mathbb{N}^d$ subshifts of finite type (SFT) for $d\geq 1$. Furthermore, the rigorous formula of surface entropy for a $\mathbb{N}^d$ 2-MIS is also presented. This provides an efficient method to calculate the topological entropy for $\mathbb{N}^d$ 2-MIS and also provides an intrinsic differences between $\mathbb{N}^d$ $k$-MIS and SFTs for $d\geq 1$ and $k\geq 2$.

Ο σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης είναι να εξεταστούν οι αντιλήψεις των πρότζεκτ μάνατζερ και της ομάδας τους σχετικά με τις μεθοδολογίες για την εφαρμογή του ΓΚΠΔ κατά την ανάπτυξη έργου. Η έρευνα πραγματοποιήθηκε σε 10 συμμετέχοντες που ανήκουν στην ομάδα υλοποίησης και εργάζονται σε επιχειρήσεις που εδρεύουν ή έχουν παράρτημα στην Ελλάδα. Η έρευνα που πραγματοποιήθηκε ήταν ποιοτική. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας έδειξαν ότι υπάρχει μια γενική εκπαίδευση και ενημέρωση στην ομάδα αλλά όχι σε τέτοιο βαθμό ώστε να είναι επαρκής και η κύρια αιτία για αυτό είναι η ελάχιστη κατεύθυνση που υπάρχει από το Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο αλλά και η έλλειψη διαθέσιμου κεφαλαίου από τις εταιρείες για μια τέτοια εκπαίδευση. Για τους παραπάνω λόγους, επιβάλλεται η λήψη μέτρων αλλά και δημιουργία ενεργειών και από τις δύο πλευρές ( Κοινοβούλιο και εταιρείες) ώστε να βελτιωθεί η ενημέρωση της ομάδας υλοποίησης και να παράγονται ασφαλέστερα και συμβατά έργα με τον ΓΚΠΔ.
description: One term that has occupied in recent years is that of GDPR. The issue becomes more complex in the workplace and specifically when it comes to software development. The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of project managers and their teams regarding the security methodologies that also involve GDPR and should be used during project development. The research was conducted on 10 participants who belong to the implementation team and work in companies based or have a branch in Greece. The research carried out was qualitative. The results of the research showed that there is general training and information in the group but not to such an extent that it is sufficient and the main reason for this is the minimal direction that exists from the European Parliament but also the lack of available funds from the companies for such training. For the above reasons, it is necessary to take measures and do actions from both sides (Parliament & companies) to improve the information of the implementation team and produce safer and compatible projects with the GDPR.

description: Σκοπός της μεταπτυχιακής διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η αναζήτηση της προέλευσης του απροϋπόθετου κακού, καθώς και η ανίχνευση του ρόλου των αφηγηματικών, βιοϊκοινωνικών ή βιοκειμενικών υποστασιοποίησεων στην εκδήλωσή του. Μπροστά σε ένα τέτοιο κακό, η γυμνή ζωή καθίσταται τόσο ασήμαντη που μοιάζει πάντα με μια παράπλευρη απώλεια. Παρά την ανάλυση όμως και την αποσύνθεση του στα στοιχειώδη βιοπολιτισμικά συστατικά και δεδομένα μέσα από τα οποία υποτίθεται πως αναδύεται, το απροϋπόθετο κακό στερείται κάθε όρου και κάθε προϋπόθεσης, μοιάζει με ένα σκοτεινό απαραβίαστο ναδίρ, ο απευκταίος τόπος κάθε βιοϊστορικά κατασκευασμένης πρόθεσης ή πράξης κατά της γυμνής ζωής ή της ανθρώπινης χειραφέτησης και αξιοπρέπειας. Κι ενώ, στο απώτατό του άκρο, το απροϋπόθετο κακό αγγίζει το αίνιγμα της αυτοχειρίας, όταν ο άλλος εντός των σωμάτων ορίζει το πεπρωμένο τους μέσω ενός διαβήματος απονενοημένου, αποφασίζοντας για τη ζωή και τον θάνατο, σαν να είναι ο απόλυτος κυρίαρχος σε μια εσώτατη κατάσταση εξαίρεσης, ο νόμος του κλήρου, πέφτει από τον ουρανό για να υπενθυμίσει, ίσως, πως η έξοδος από την ανωριμότητα της ύπαρξης, η απροϋπόθετη χειραφέτηση, δεν αξιώνει καμία επανάσταση, δεν απαιτεί καμία απολύτως θυσία. Αρκεί μια ζαριά.
description: The aim of the present thesis is the research for the origin of unpreconditioned evil, as well as the detection of the role of narrative, biosocial or biotextual status in its grow. In the face of such evil, bare life becomes so insignificant that it always seems like a collateral loss. However, despite of the analysis and decomposition into the elementary biocultural components and data from which it is supposed to emerge, unpreconditioned evil lacks any term and condition, it looks like a dark inviolable nadir, the inevitable place of any biohistorically constructed intention or act against the bare life or human emancipation and dignity. And while, at its extreme, unpreconditioned evil touches on the enigma of self-determination, when the other within bodies defines their destiny through a step in the vacuum, deciding about life and death, as if he were the absolute sovereign in an inner state of exception, the law of draw, falls from the heaven to remind, perhaps, that the exit from the immaturity of existence, the unpreconditioned emancipation, does not demand any revolution, does not require any sacrifice at all. One throw is all it takes.

description: We study multi-valley electron gases in the low density ($r_s \gg 1$) limit. Here the ground-state is always a Wigner crystal (WC), with additional pseudo-spin order where the pseudo-spins are related to valley occupancies. Depending on the symmetries of the host semiconductor and the values of the parameters such as the anisotropy of the effective mass tensors, we find a striped or chiral pseudo-spin antiferromagnet, or a time-reversal symmetry breaking orbital loop-current ordered pseudo-spin ferromagnet. Our theory applies to the recently-discovered WC states in AlAs and in mono and bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides. We identify a set of interesting electronic liquid crystalline phases that could arise by continuous quantum melting of such WCs.

Excitation and Relaxation of Nonthermal Electron Energy Distributions in Metals with Application to Gold

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: A semiempirical theory for the excitation and subsequent relaxation of nonthermal electrons is described. The theory, which is applicable to ultrafast-laser excited metals, is based on the Boltzmann transport equation for the carrier distribution function $f(ε,t)$ and includes electron-phonon, electron-electron, and electron-photon scattering integrals in forms that explicitly depend on the electronic density of states. Electron-phonon coupling is treated by extending the theory of Allen [Phys. Rev. Lett. 59, 1460 (1987)] to include highly-excited nonthermal electron distributions, and is used to determine the energy transfer rate between a nonthermal electron subsystem and a thermal phonon subsystem. Electron-electron scattering is treated with a simple energy-conserving electron-electron scattering integral. The electron-photon integral assumes photon absorption is phonon assisted. We apply the theory to analyze prior ultrafast thermionic emission, two-color photoemission, and electronic inelastic light (Raman) scattering experiments on Au. These analyses show that getting the details of $f(ε,t)$ is necessary for proper interpretation of each experiment. Together, the photoemission and Raman-scattering analyses indicate an electron excited 1 eV above the Fermi level has an electron-electron scattering time in the range of 25 to 55 fs.

QCD Compositeness as Revealed in Exclusive Vector Boson Reactions through Double-Photon Annihilation: $e^+ e^- \to γγ^\ast \to γV^0 $ and $e^+ e^- \to γ^\ast γ^\ast \to V^0 V^0$

description: We study the exclusive double-photon annihilation processes, $e^+ e^- \to γγ^\ast\to γV^0$ and $e^+ e^- \to γ^\ast γ^\ast \to V^0_a V^0_b,$ where the $V^0_i$ is a neutral vector meson produced in the forward kinematical region: $s \gg -t$ and $-t \gg Λ_{\rm QCD}^2$. We show how the differential cross sections $\frac{dσ}{dt}$, as predicted by QCD, have additional falloff in the momentum transfer squared $t$ due to the QCD compositeness of the hadrons, consistent with the leading-twist fixed-$θ_{\rm CM} $ scaling laws. However, even though they are exclusive channels and not associated with the conventional electron-positron annihilation process $e^+ e^- \to γ^\ast \to q \bar q,$ these total cross sections $σ(e^+ e^- \to γV^0) $ and $σ(e^+ e^- \to V^0_a V^0_b),$ integrated over the dominant forward- and backward-$θ_{\rm CM}$ angular domains, scale as $1/s$, and thus contribute to the leading-twist scaling behavior of the ratio $R_{e^+ e^-}$. We generalize these results to exclusive double-electroweak vector-boson annihilation processes accompanied by the forward production of hadrons, such as $e^+ e^- \to Z^0 V^0$ and $e^+ e^- \to W^-ρ^+$. These results can also be applied to the exclusive production of exotic hadrons such as tetraquarks, where the cross-section scaling behavior can reveal their multiquark nature.

description: We present the serendipitous ALMA detection of a faint submillimeter galaxy (SMG) lensed by a foreground z~1 galaxy. By optimizing the source detection to deblend the system, we accurately build the full spectral energy distribution of the distant galaxy from the I814 band to radio wavelengths. It is extremely red, with a I-K colour larger than 2.5. We estimate a photometric redshift of 3.28 and determine the physical parameters. The distant galaxy turns out to be magnified by the foreground lens by a factor of ~1.5, which implies an intrinsic Ks-band magnitude of ~24.5, a submillimeter flux at 870um of ~2.5 mJy and a SFR of ~150-300Msun/yr, depending on the adopted tracer. These values place our source towards the faint end of the distribution of observed SMGs, and in particular among the still few faint SMGs with a fully characterized spectral energy distribution, which allows us not only to accurately estimate its redshift but also to measure its stellar mass and other physical properties. The galaxy studied in this work is a representative of the population of faint SMGs, of which only few objects are known to date, that are undetected in optical and therefore are not typically accounted for when measuring the cosmic star formation history (SFH). This faint galaxy population thus likely represents an important and missing piece in our understanding of the cosmic SFH. Its observation and characterization is of major importance to achieve a solid picture of galaxy evolution.

description: In the work, we derive exact analytic expressions for $(3+N)$-flavor neutrino oscillation probabilities in an arbitrary matter potential in term of matrix elements and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian. With the analytic expressions, we demonstrate that nonunitary and nonstandard neutrino interaction scenarios are physically distinct: they satisfy different identities and can in principle be distinguished experimentally. The analytic expressions are implemented in a public code NuProbe, a tool for probing new physics through neutrino oscillations.

description: Introduction: Acute watery diarrhea(AWD) is a diarrheal disease caused by infection of the intestine with the bacterium vibrio cholera commonly either type O1 or O139. Both children and adults can be infected. About 20% of those who are infected develop acute watery diarrhea 10-20% of these individuals develop severe watery diarrhea with vomiting. If these patients are not promptly and adequately treated the loss of large amount of fluid and electrolytes can lead to sever dehydration and death within hours. The case fatality rate in untreated cases may reach 30-50%. We received reports of AWD outbreak in Burayu. Burayu town is one of the Oromia town with a total population of 131,721. when we see by sex female 67,178 and male 64,543. The town is divided in to six kebeles and has two health centers. Methods: A suspected case was defined as any person aged 5 years or more who developed acute watery diarrhea, with or without vomiting. We perform a descriptive study followed by unmatched case control 33 cases and 33 control by using structured questionnaires to collect data starting from 6/7/2016 – 21/7/2016 G.C in Burayu town.

description: A cross sectional community based survey to determine the prevalence of dental caries in Shashemene woreda, 250 Km. South Eastern part of Ethiopia was conducted between November 1994 and December 1994. A total of 1228 individuals, 630 (51.3%) males and 598 (48.7%) females participated in the study. The overall dental caries prevalence rate was found to be 51.4% 631 of the total 1228 people being affected, The prevalence of dental caries was found to be hgher among the rural resdents 53.7% of the total 821 people examined being affected as compared to 46 . 4% of the total 407 urban population studied respectively. Females were affected more than males, 315 (52.7%) of the total 598 and 316 (50 . 2%) of t he total 630 respectively. The difference was statistically significant OR= 1.81(1. 32 , 2. 49) .The survey also elucidated that the disease prevalence increases with age old people being affected more, only 11.8% of those aged 60 years and above being caries free. The risk factors for dental caries identified in this study were age (being old), sex residence (being rural r esident) , (being a female), low education, consumption of sweet food items, Khat chewing, presence of food remnants in the oral cavity, gi-ngivitis, cal culi and plaque. vi The study has elucidated that dental caries prevalence is high, more than half of the studied population being affected by dental caries. It seems that the "excellent Ethiopian teeth" practically is becoming a legend this days. Strengthening of health education in the health institutions and initiation of health education programme in schools, training of adequate health man power to deal with oral health problems and further studies to identify other risk factors and treatment requirement are recommended.

description: Realization of novel functionalities by tuning magnetic interactions in rare earth perovskite oxide thin films opens up exciting technological prospects. Strain-induced tuning of magnetic interactions in rare earth cobaltates and nickelates is of central importance due to their versatility in electronic transport properties. Here we reported the spin re-orientation induced switching of anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and its tunability with strain in epitaxial LaCo$_{0.5}$Ni$_{0.5}$O$_{3-δ}$ thin films across the ferromagnetic transition. Moreover, with strain tuning, we could observe a two-fold to four-fold symmetry crossover in AMR across the magnetic transition temperature. The magnetization measurements revealed an onset of ferromagnetic transition around 50 K, and a further reduction in temperature showed a subtle change in the magnetization dynamics, which reduced the ferromagnetic long-range ordering and introduced glassiness in the system. X-ray absorption and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy measurements over Co and Ni L edges revealed the Co spin state transition below the magnetic transition temperature leading to the AMR switching and also the presence of Ni$^{2+}$ and Co$^{4+}$ ions evidencing the charge transfer from Ni to Co ions. Our work demonstrated the tunability of magnetic interactions mediated electronic transport in cobaltate-nickelate thin films, which is relevant in understanding Ni-Co interactions in oxides for their technological applications such as in AMR sensors.
Beyond Counting: New Perspectives on the Active IPv4 Address Space

description: In this study, we report on techniques and analyses that enable us to capture Internet-wide activity at individual IP address-level granularity by relying on server logs of a large commercial content delivery network (CDN) that serves close to 3 trillion HTTP requests on a daily basis. Across the whole of 2015, these logs recorded client activity involving 1.2 billion unique IPv4 addresses, the highest ever measured, in agreement with recent estimates. Monthly client IPv4 address counts showed constant growth for years prior, but since 2014, the IPv4 count has stagnated while IPv6 counts have grown. Thus, it seems we have entered an era marked by increased complexity, one in which the sole enumeration of active IPv4 addresses is of little use to characterize recent growth of the Internet as a whole. With this observation in mind, we consider new points of view in the study of global IPv4 address activity. Our analysis shows significant churn in active IPv4 addresses: the set of active IPv4 addresses varies by as much as 25% over the course of a year. Second, by looking across the active addresses in a prefix, we are able to identify and attribute activity patterns to network restructurings, user behaviors, and, in particular, various address assignment practices. Third, by combining spatio-temporal measures of address utilization with measures of traffic volume, and sampling-based estimates of relative host counts, we present novel perspectives on worldwide IPv4 address activity, including empirical observation of under-utilization in some areas, and complete utilization, or exhaustion, in others.

description: The decay B+ to psi(2S) phi(1020) K+ is observed for the first time using data collected from pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 inverse femtobarns. The branching fraction of this decay is measured, using the mode B+ to psi(2S) K+ as normalization, to be (4.0 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.6 (syst) +/- 0.2 (B)) x E-6, where the third uncertainty is from the measured branching fraction of the normalization channel.

description: We report thickness-tuned electrical transport and Hall resistivity in highly anisotropic three-dimensional Dirac semimetal ZrTe5 nanosheets. We find that when the thickness of the nanosheet is blow about 40 nm, the system takes a clear transition from topological semimetal with two bands carriers to a single band with conventional hole carriers. The resistivity peak temperature T* decreases systematically with decreasing thickness down to about 40 nm, then shifts up with the further decrease of the thickness. Analysis of the data below 40 nm indicates that the hole carriers completely dominate the transport in the entire temperature range, regardless of the temperature being below or above T*. By further tracking the carrier density, we find that the Fermi level shifts consecutively downward from conduction band to the valence band as decreasing the thickness. Our experiments unambiguously reveal a highly thickness-tuned transition of band topology in ZrTe5 nanosheets.

description: Low-temperature electron paramagnetic resonance measurements are performed on single crystals of LiY_{1-x}Gd_xF_4 with weak x=0.005 and moderate x=0.05 concentration of Gd ions. Modeling of the experimental spectra allows us to precisely determine microscopic parameters of the spin Hamiltonian of the parent LiGdF4 material, including the nearest-neighbor exchange constant. The obtained parameters are further tested by comparing a strongly anisotropic Curie-Weiss temperature obtained for LiGdF4 in our static magnetization measurements with theoretically computed values. We find a fine balance between principal magnetic interactions in LiGdF4, which results in a hidden magnetic frustration presumably leading to a delayed magnetic ordering and an enhanced magnetocaloric effect at low temperatures.

description: A straightforward application of the variational principle to null strings meets difficulties since string's world-sheets are degenerate. It is known that the variational principle in this case can be formulted with the help of two-vector density on the string world-sheet which plays a role of Lagrange multipliers. It is shown that recently suggested stress-energy tensor of null strings can be derived by variation over the background metric of the action used to describe tensionless limit in the string theory. One of the Lagrange multipliers is related to the energy of the null string.

description: The harmonic oscillator with a time-dependent frequency has a family of linear quantum invariants for the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, which are determined by any two independent solutions to the classical equation of motion. Ermakov and Pinney have shown that a general solution to the time-dependent oscillator with an inverse cubic term can be expressed in terms of two independent solutions to the time-dependent oscillator. We explore the connection between linear quantum invariants and the Ermakov-Pinney solution for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator. We advance a novel method to construct Ermakov-Pinney solutions to a class of time-dependent oscillators and the wave functions for the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. We further show that the first and the second Pöschl-Teller potentials belong to a special class of exact time-dependent oscillators. A perturbation method is proposed for any slowly-varying time-dependent frequency.
