description: Recently we have shown [1604.08812] how to formulate a thermodynamic first law for a single (charged) accelerated black hole in AdS space by fixing the conical deficit angles present in the spacetime. Here we show how to generalise this result, formulating thermodynamics for black holes with varying conical deficits. We derive a new potential for the varying tension defects: the "thermodynamic length", both for accelerating and static black holes. We discuss possible physical processes in which the tension of a string ending on a black hole might vary, and also map out the thermodynamic phase space of accelerating black holes and explore their critical phenomena.

Biogeography and phylogeography

description: Species is the fundamental unit to quantify biodiversity. In recent years, the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has seen an increased number of studies related to its geographical distribution, population structure, and phenotypic diversity. However, seven additional species from the same genus have been less thoroughly studied, which has limited our understanding of the macroevolutionary events leading to the diversification of this genus over the last 20 million years. Here, we show the geographies, hosts, substrates, and phylogenetic relationships for approximately 1,800 Saccharomyces strains, covering the complete genus with unprecedented breadth and depth. We generated and analyzed complete genome sequences of 163 strains and phenotyped 128 phylogenetically diverse strains. This dataset provides insights about genetic and phenotypic diversity within and between species and populations, quantifies reticulation and incomplete lineage sorting, and demonstrates how gene flow and selection have affected traits, such as galactose metabolism. These findings elevate the genus Saccharomyces as a model to understand biodiversity and evolution in microbial eukaryotes.

description: In recent years, research information systems (RIS) have become an integral part of the university’s IT landscape. At the same time, many universities and research institutions are still working on the implementation of such information systems. Research information systems support institutions in the measurement, documentation, evaluation and communication of research activities. Implementing such integrative systems requires that institutions assure the quality of the information on research activities entered into them. Since many information and data sources are interwoven, these different data sources can have a negative impact on data quality in different research information systems. Because the topic is currently of interest to many institutions, the aim of the present paper is firstly to consider how data quality can be investigated in the context of RIS, and then to explain how various dimensions of data quality described in the literature can be measured in research information systems. Finally, a framework as a process flow according to UML activity diagram notation is developed for monitoring and improvement of the quality of these data; this framework can be implemented by technical personnel in universities and research institutions.

description: Although molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are commonly used to predict the structure and properties of glasses, they are intrinsically limited to short time scales, necessitating the use of fast cooling rates. It is therefore challenging to compare results from MD simulations to experimental results for glasses cooled on typical laboratory time scales. Based on MD simulations of a sodium silicate glass with varying cooling rate (from 0.01 to 100 K/ps), here we show that thermal history primarily affects the medium-range order structure, while the short-range order is largely unaffected over the range of cooling rates simulated. This results in a decoupling between the enthalpy and volume relaxation functions, where the enthalpy quickly plateaus as the cooling rate decreases, whereas density exhibits a slower relaxation. Finally, we demonstrate that the outcomes of MD simulations can be meaningfully compared to experimental values if properly extrapolated to slower cooling rates.

description: © 2017 Elsevier B.V. While piezoelectric microplates are emerging as a promising MEMS liquid-based sensing platform, often acoustic radiation losses limit device performance. This paper presents a new analysis of microplate acoustic radiation losses through the use of traditional analytical models for the fundamental mode and a new finite element model that is used to analyze trends affecting Q for both the fundamental and higher order flexural modes. Results from these models are compared with experimental measurements of frequency and Q measured using both electrical characterization and the laser Doppler vibrometer for multiple modes of the microplate in water as compared to air and vacuum. Finally, a microplate mode with a high initial Q of around 150 in air and that demonstrates an increase in Q going from air to water is presented as a strong candidate for use in droplet based sensing applications.

description: This document is the redacted proposal by Carl Boettiger to the NASA SMD call for proposals F.14 Transform to Open Science Training (NNH22ZDA001N-TOPST). This was one of 16 successfully funded proposals under the program.

 1968: In the same year as NASA’s first manned mission to the moon, racially segregated housing became illegal with the Fair Housing Act. The law would now ban practices known as redlining – in which the federal government’s Home Owners Loan Corporation dividing cities into areas graded ‘minimal risk’ to ‘hazardous’ for home loans based largely on racial and ethnic make-up (Nelson et al 2022). But the consequences of such practices are not easily reversed. More than 50 years later, scientists can still see the pattern of the inequalities etched onto those maps even from space (Schell et al, 2020). This educational module will seek to introduce students to the open source platforms and tools used to manipulate and analyze NASA’s open earth observation imagery through the lens of examining the environmental legacy of redlining practices in major urban areas. We will introduce key concepts of cloud-native geospatial workflows including STAC, COG, and GDAL Virtual Filesystem to allow students to leverage analysis against terrabytes of NASA data. The module design is also deeply rooted in pedagogical practices established by education research literature to increase engagement and reach an inclusive audience (Handelsman et al. 2004; Allen & Tanner 2005). The module will be provided in both R and Python and be made available in both English and Spanish translations.

description: In dit project hebben wij etnografisch onderzoek gedaan naar de besluitvorming in de gezondheidszorg tijdens de coronapandemie. We waren daarbij vooral geïnteresseerd in de vraag of en hoe besluitvorming ‘adaptief’ kan zijn; dat wil zeggen mee kan bewegen met wisselende omstandigheden en onzekerheden—en in hoeverre de besluitvorming bijdraagt aan de veerkracht van de zorg. Daarvoor hebben we observaties gedaan bij drie regionale overleggen voor acute zorg en hebben we daarnaast interviews gehouden met verpleegkundigen, artsen, patiëntvertegenwoordigers, bestuurders, beleidsmakers en toezichthouders. Ook hebben we vele documenten verzameld en geanalyseerd. We constateren dat het bestuur slechts gedeeltelijk adaptief is geweest. Er is wel geleerd tijdens de pandemie—bijvoorbeeld met betrekking tot ‘non-Covid’ zorg—maar problemen in bijvoorbeeld de langdurige zorg zijn slechts beperkt opgepakt. Vertegenwoordiging van patiënten en van ‘de werkvloer’ slechts mondjesmaat gestalte heeft gekregen. We doen in onze eindrapportages verschillende aanbevelingen om de zorg veerkrachtiger te maken.
 In het bijgaande document geven we een overzicht van de data zoals verzameld in ons project, een korte reflectie op de aard van deze data en overzicht van relevante publicaties (tot december 2022) waarin we de verwerkte data (d.w.z.) onze analyses delen, veelal open access.

description: In van der Waals heterostructures, the periodic potential from the Moiré superlattice can be used as a control knob to modulate the electronic structure of the constituent materials. Here we present a nanoscale angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (Nano-ARPES) study of transferred graphene/h-BN heterostructures with two different stacking angles of 2.4° and 4.3° respectively. Our measurements reveal six replicas of graphene Dirac cones at the superlattice Brillouin zone (SBZ) centers. The size of the SBZ and its relative rotation angle to the graphene BZ are in good agreement with Moiré superlattice period extracted from atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. Comparison to epitaxial graphene/h-BN with 0° stacking angles suggests that the interaction between graphene and h-BN decreases with increasing stacking angle.

description: We consider the utilization of a computational model to guide the optimal acquisition of experimental data to inform the stochastic description of model input parameters. Our formulation is based on the recently developed consistent Bayesian approach for solving stochastic inverse problems which seeks a posterior probability density that is consistent with the model and the data in the sense that the push-forward of the posterior (through the computational model) matches the observed density on the observations almost everywhere. Given a set a potential observations, our optimal experimental design (OED) seeks the observation, or set of observations, that maximizes the expected information gain from the prior probability density on the model parameters. We discuss the characterization of the space of observed densities and a computationally efficient approach for rescaling observed densities to satisfy the fundamental assumptions of the consistent Bayesian approach. Numerical results are presented to compare our approach with existing OED methodologies using the classical/statistical Bayesian approach and to demonstrate our OED on a set of representative PDE-based models.

description: Sophorolipids are bioderived glycolipids displaying interesting antimicrobial properties. We show that they can be used to develop biocidal monolayers against Listeria ivanovii, a Gram-positive bacterium. The present work points out the dependence between the surface density and the antibacterial activity of grafted sophorolipids. It also emphasizes the broad spectrum of activity of these coatings, demonstrating their potential against both Gram-positive strains (Enteroccocus faecalis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes) and Gram-negative strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhymurium). After exposure to sophorolipids grafted onto gold, all these bacterial strains show a significant reduction in viability resulting from membrane damage as evidenced by fluorescent labelling and SEM-FEG analysis.

description: We present a method for calibrating images acquired by the Dawn Framing Camera (FC) that is based on the results of an in-flight calibration campaign performed during the cruise from Earth to Vesta. We describe this campaign and the data analysis in full. Both the primary camera FC2 and the backup camera FC1 are radiometrically and geometrically calibrated through observations of standard stars, star fields, and solar system objects. The calibration in each spectral filter is accurate to within a few percent for point sources. Geometric distortion, small by design, is characterized with high accuracy. Dark current, monitored on a regular basis, is very low at flight operational temperatures. Out-of-field stray light was characterized using the Sun as a stray light source. In-field stray light is confirmed in narrow-band filter images of Vesta. Its magnitude and distribution are scene-dependent, and expected to contribute significantly to images of extended objects. Description of a method for in-field stray light correction is deferred to a follow-up paper, as is a discussion of the closely related topic of flat-fielding.

A polymer based phononic crystal

Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 0

description: A versatile system to construct polymeric phononic crystals by using ultrasound is described. In order to fabricate this material a customised cavity device fitted with a 2 MHz acoustic transducer and an acoustic reflector is employed for standing wave creation in the device chamber. The polymer crystal is formed when the standing waves are created during the polymerisation process. The resulting crystals are reproduced in the shape of the tunable cavity device, and add unique periodic features. Their separation is related to the applied acoustic wave frequency during the fabrication process and their composition was found to be made up to two material phases. To assess the acoustic properties of the polymer crystals their average acoustic velocity is measured relative to monomer solutions of different concentrations. It is demonstrated that one of the signature characteristics of phononic crystal, the slow wave effect, was expressed by the polymer. Furthermore the thickness of a unit cell is analysed from images obtained from an optical microscope. By knowing the thickness the average acoustic velocity is calculated to be 1538 m/s when the monomer/cross-linker concentration is 1.5 M. This numerical calculation closely agrees with the predicted value for this monomer/crosslinker concentration of 1536 m/s. This work provides a methodology for accessing a new type of adaptable phononic crystal based on flexible polymers.

description: Allometric scaling can reflect underlying mechanisms, dynamics and structures in complex systems; examples include typical scaling laws in biology, ecology and urban development. In this work, we study allometric scaling in scientific fields. By performing an analysis of the outputs/inputs of various scientific fields, including the numbers of publications, citations, and references, with respect to the number of authors, we find that in all fields that we have studied thus far, including physics, mathematics and economics, there are allometric scaling laws relating the outputs/inputs and the sizes of scientific fields. Furthermore, the exponents of the scaling relations have remained quite stable over the years. We also find that the deviations of individual subfields from the overall scaling laws are good indicators for ranking subfields independently of their sizes.

description: Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect and X-ray emission from galaxy clusters have been extensively used to constrain cosmological parameters. These constraints are highly sensitive to the relations between cluster masses and observables (tSZ and X-ray fluxes). The cross-correlation of tSZ and X-ray data is thus a powerful tool, in addition of tSZ and X-ray based analysis, to test our modeling of both tSZ and X-ray emission from galaxy clusters. We chose to explore this cross correlation as both emissions trace the hot gas in galaxy clusters and thus constitute one the easiest correlation that can be studied. We present a complete modeling of the cross correlation between tSZ effect and X-ray emission from galaxy clusters, and focuses on the dependencies with clusters scaling laws and cosmological parameters. We show that the present knowledge of cosmological parameters and scaling laws parameters leads to an uncertainties of 47\% on the overall normalization of the tSZ-X cross correlation power spectrum. We present the expected signal-to-noise ratio for the tSZ-X cross-correlation angular power spectrum considering the sensitivity of actual tSZ and X-ray surveys from {\it Planck}-like data and ROSAT. We demonstrate that this signal-to-noise can reach 31.5 in realistic situation, leading to a constraint on the amplitude of tSZ-X cross correlation up to 3.2\%, fifteen times better than actual modeling limitations. Consequently, used in addition to other probes of cosmological parameters and scaling relations, we show that the tSZ-X is a powerful probe to constrain scaling relations and cosmological parameters.

description: The war diaries are official records kept by the Battalions during a one month period. They contain the daily orders, correspondence, newsletters, and an intelligence log detailing troop activities, locations, and weather conditions. The war diaries detail the activities and movement of the 1st Battalion from training in Canada and England to active duty on the Western Front and their return to Victoria in January 1946. This diary was kept while at Emmerich, Germany, Doetinchem, Zevenaar, Steenderen, Zutphen, Wijhe, Zwolle, Siddeburen, Nieuwe Schans, Weener, Leer, . It has entries about having quick Easter Sunday services as they received a move order, crossing back into still enemy-held Holland and enjoying the friendly civilians, moving through Holland and encountering retreating pockets of enemy opposition, dealing with a bridge destroyed by the enemy, the Dutch Underground Movement (N.B.S.) helping the Battalion advance against the enemy, a continuous stream of German prisoners of war and civilian prisoner being dispatched to the "cage", attacking Wagenborgen where the enemy broke around the right flank and cut off one platoon and their HQ building suffering several direct artillery hits and collapsing trapping numerous personnel, the mortars and A/TK crews holding off the enemy as the Battalion reorganized itself after losing HQ and then clearing the town, moving to Veedam and thinking they were going to get a rest but getting a movement order that they will be heading into Germany, not allowing any fraternizing with German civilians, engaging with the enemy along with a Polish Tank Forces, encountering more mines along the dykes and roads than they ever have before, a Wasp being blown up presumably by German civilians so the decision was made to evacuate all civil populations from the forward areas where they had been allowed to stay to care for their homes, starting Operation "Duck" with the objective of taking over Leer, among other activities and information.

description: This study used a damaged skin, porcine model to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of WoundStat™ for the decontamination of superficial, nerve agent-contaminated wounds. Anaesthetized animals were randomly assigned to either control (n = 7), no decontamination (n = 12) or WoundStat™ (n = 12) treatment groups. Pigs were exposed to a 5× LD50 dose of neat, radiolabelled S-[2- (diisopropylamino)ethyl]-O-ethyl methyl-phosphonothioate (VX; or equivalent volume of sterile saline for the control group) via an area of superficially damaged skin on the ear. WoundStat™ was applied at 30 seconds post-exposure to assigned animals. The VX contaminant (or saline) and decontaminant remained in place for the duration of the study (up to 6 hours). Physiological parameters and signs of intoxication were recorded during the exposure period. Skin and organ samples were taken post mortem for 14C–VX distribution analyses. Blood samples were taken periodically for toxicokinetic and whole-blood acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity analyses. VX exposure was accompanied by a rapid decrease in AChE activity in all animals, regardless of decontamination. However, decontamination significantly improved survival rate and time and reduced the severity of signs of intoxication. In addition, the distribution of 14C–VX in key internal organs and post mortem blood samples was significantly lower in the WoundStat™ treatment group. This study demonstrates that WoundStat™ may be a suitable medical countermeasure for increasing both survival rate and time following VX exposure. The results also suggest that AChE activity is not a useful prognostic indicator.

description: The magnitude of the pH of the surface of water continues to be a contentious topic in the physical chemistry of aqueous interfaces. Recent theoretical studies have shown little or no preference for the proton to be at the surface compared to the bulk\cite{baer2014toward}. Using ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations, we revisit the propensity of the excess proton for the air-water interface with a particular focus on the role of instantaneous liquid interfaces. We find a much a stronger propensity of the proton for the surface of water. The enhanced water structuring around the proton results in the presence of proton wires that run parallel to the surface as well as a hydrophobic environment made up of under-coordinated topological defect water molecules, both of which create favorable conditions for proton confinement at the surface. The Grotthuss mechanism within the structured water layer involves a mixture of both concerted and closely spaced stepwise proton hops. The proton makes excursions within the first solvation layer either in proximity to or along the instantaneous interface.

description: OBJECTIVE: Evidence suggests an interarm difference (IAD) of >=10mmHg in blood pressure (BP) is associated with a greater incidence of cardiovascular disease. Effect of ethnicity on the prevalence of this difference has not been reported. DESIGN AND METHOD: The Blood Pressure in Ethnic Groups Study (BP-Eth), based in primary care, investigated the relationship between ethnicity and different methods of BP measurement. Using these data the prevalence of a significant IAD was investigated in 770 people (300 White British, 229 South Asian, 241 African-Caribbean). Repeated BP measurements were obtained simultaneously in the right and left arm using two BP-Tru machines and comparisons made between the first reading, mean of 2nd/3rd readings and mean of 2nd-6th readings for patients with and without known hypertension. RESULTS: No significant difference was seen in the prevalence of a systolic IAD between ethnicities whichever combinations of BP measurement were used and whether or not an individual was hypertensive. Overall the prevalence of IAD fell as more measurements were used in the comparison: first measurement (n = 161, 22%), mean 2nd/3rd (113, 16%) and mean 2-6th (78, 11%) (first vs clinic and research mean p =10mmHg higher than ABPM. Unadjusted results show patients with a WCE were twice as likely to have an IAD on their first BP measurement (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.4 - 3.1), mean 2nd/3rd (2.1, 95% CI 1.3 - 3.4) and mean 2-6th (2.1, 95% CI 1.2 - 3.9) compared to those without a WCE. CONCLUSIONS: Ethnicity did not affect the prevalence of IAD in people with or without hypertension. However the prevalence of IAD was affected by the number of readings suggesting an element of white coat effect and this was confirmed by comparison with ambulatory monitoring. Therefore ABPM may play an important role in the investigation of those with >=10mmHg interarm blood pressure difference.

description: We discuss the feasibility of detecting the gauge boson of the $U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}$ symmetry, which possesses a mass in the range between MeV and GeV, at the Belle-II experiment. The kinetic mixing between the new gauge boson $Z'$ and photon is forbidden at the tree level and is radiatively induced. The leptonic force mediated by such a light boson is motivated by the discrepancy in muon anomalous magnetic moment and also the gap in the energy spectrum of cosmic neutrino. Defining the process $e^{+} e^{-} \rightarrow γZ' \rightarrow γν\barν~(missing~energy)$ to be the signal, we estimate the numbers of the signal and the background events and show the parameter region to which the Belle-II experiment will be sensitive. The signal process in the $L_μ-L_τ$ model is enhanced with a light $Z'$, which is a characteristic feature differing from the dark photon models with a constant kinetic mixing. We find that the Belle-II experiment with the design luminosity will be sensitive to the $Z'$ with the mass $M_{Z'} \lesssim 1 $ GeV and the new gauge coupling $g_{Z'} \gtrsim 8\cdot 10^{-4}$, which covers a half of the unconstrained parameter region that explains the discrepancy in muon anomalous magnetic moment. The possibilities to improve the significance of the detection are also discussed.

description: The early reionization (ERE) is supposed to be a physical process which happens after recombination, but before the instantaneous reionization caused by the first generation of stars. We investigate the effect of the ERE on the temperature and polarization power spectra of cosmic microwave background (CMB), and adopt principal components analysis (PCA) to model-independently reconstruct the ionization history during the ERE. In addition, we also discuss how the ERE affects the cosmological parameter estimates, and find that the ERE does not impose any significant influences on the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ and the neutrino mass at the sensitivities of current experiments. The better CMB polarization data can be used to give a tighter constraint on the ERE and might be important for more precisely constraining cosmological parameters in the future.

description: PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are frequent conditions during childhood and adolescence. The present review offers an update on current available treatment strategies for T1D and T2D approved for use in children and adolescents. RECENT FINDINGS: Insulin remains the main and essential therapeutic strategy in youth with T1D. A second generation of insulin analogues is being evaluated and could help in improving glycemic control. Over the last decades advances in technology have allowed the implementation of insulin pump therapy and continuous glucose monitoring, and are now leading the way towards the development of an artificial pancreas or closed loop system.Treatment of T2D is based on lifestyle interventions and metformin as the first-line drug to be used. Little evidence is available for other oral hypoglycemic drugs, currently used in adults. SUMMARY: Although much progress has been made in the field of diabetes management, there are still several unmet goals. One of the main issues is to develop a system allowing more physiological insulin coverage. For both T1D and T2D, there is a strong need of new drugs to be used alone or in combination, mainly in patients struggling to achieve good glycemic control.

description: The war diaries are official records kept by the Battalions during a one month period. They contain the daily orders, correspondence, newsletters, and an intelligence log detailing troop activities, locations, and weather conditions. The war diaries detail the activities and movement of the 1st Battalion from training in Canada and England to active duty on the Western Front and their return to Victoria in January 1946. This diary was kept while at Uedem, Xanten, Cleve, Rees, Isselburg, and Emmerich. It has entries about using a tank to pull out vehicles stuck in the mud while moving in Germany, not encountering heavy opposition, moving back to Cleve and preparing the area to stay in for multiple days, engaging in training, early morning parades, and organized sports while stationary, health, weapon, and vehicle checks, hearing that the 51st Highland Division had crossed the Rhine and prepping for their own crossing, getting a movement order and crossing the Rhine, moving through German villages with white flags hanging on the houses and encountering little to no opposition, crossing the canal into Emmerich and capturing the factory area but not without the most sticky hand-to-hand fighting, the engineers building bridges on the canals overnight for tanks etc. to cross, deserters letting the battalion know the enemy is planning for a counter-attack which turned out to be true and gave the Battalion just enough time to prepare, breaking the back of the enemy resistance in Emmerich and noting that there didn't seem to be a whole building left standing, among other activities and information. Includes appendices covering orders, casualties, a report about the "Sp" (support) Coy Crossing the Rhine on March 26th, and a message to be read to all troops from the Commander in Chief regarding the march to Rhineland.
Luneburg-lens-like structural Pauli attractive core of nuclear force at short distances

description: The nuclear force has been understood to have a repulsive core at short distances, similar to a molecular force, since Jastrow proposed it in 1951. The existence of the repulsion was experimentally confirmed from the proton-proton scattering 1S_0 phase shift, which becomes negative beyond 230 MeV. This repulsion is essential for preventing the nucleon-nucleon system from collapsing by attraction. The origin of the repulsion has been considered to be due to the Pauli principle, similar to the repulsion originally revealed in alpha-alpha scattering, in many studies including recent lattice QCD calculations. On the other hand, very recently it was shown that an inter-nuclear potential including alpha-alpha interactions has a Luneburg-lens-like attraction at short distances rather than repulsion. We show that the nuclear force with an attractive potential at short distances that reproduces the experimental phase shifts well has a Luneburg-lens-like structural Pauli attractive core (SPAC) at short distances and acts as apparent repulsion. The apparent repulsion is caused by the deeply embedded unobservable Pauli forbidden state similar to nucleus-nucleus potentials.

description: We study the formal properties of correspondences of curves without a core, focusing on the case of étale correspondences. The motivating examples come from Hecke correspondences of Shimura curves. Given a correspondence without a core, we construct an infinite graph $\mathcal{G}_{gen}$ together with a large group of "algebraic" automorphisms $A$. The graph $\mathcal{G}_{gen}$ measures the "generic dynamics" of the correspondence. We construct specialization maps $\mathcal{G}_{gen}\rightarrow\mathcal{G}_{phys}$ to the "physical dynamics" of the correspondence. We also prove results on the number of bounded étale orbits, in particular generalizing a recent theorem of Hallouin and Perret. We use a variety of techniques: Galois theory, the theory of groups acting on infinite graphs, and finite group schemes.

description: We present the first detection of the cross-correlation angular power spectrum between the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect and the X-ray emission over the full sky. The tSZ effect and X-rays are produced by the same hot gas within groups and clusters of galaxies, which creates a naturally strong correlation between them that can be used to boost the joint signal and derive cosmological parameters. We computed the correlation between the ROSAT All Sky Survey in the 0.5-2 keV energy band and the tSZ effect reconstructed from six Planck all-sky frequency maps between 70 and 545 GHz. We detect a significant correlation over a wide range of angular scales. In the range $50

description: In this study, we examine the teaching-related stress, self-efficacy, and occupational commitment of preservice teachers from two culturally western and two culturally eastern countries. The sample included 1,187 participants from Canada (n = 379), England (n = 203), Hong Kong (n = 211), and Thailand (n = 394). Self-efficacy partially reduced (mediated) the effect of stress from student behavior and from workload on commitment in three of four contexts. Mediation tests with country as moderator revealed significant differences in the strength of the mediating effect across the four contexts. The results suggest that teachers’ self-efficacy changes the way in which work stress influences the commitment to continue teaching, although cultural milieu influences the nature of the relationship according to context.
The population of highly magnetized neutron stars

description: In this work, we study the effects of strong magnetic field configurations on the population of neutron stars. The stellar matter is described within a relativistic mean field formalism which considers many-body force contributions in the scalar couplings. We choose the parametrization of the model that reproduces nuclear matter properties at saturation and also describes massive hyperon stars. Hadronic matter is modeled at zero temperature, in beta-equilibrium, charge neutral and populated by the baryonic octet, electrons and muons. Magnetic effects are taken into account in the structure of stars by the solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with the assumption of a poloidal magnetic field distribution. Our results show that magnetic neutron stars are populated essencialy by nucleons and leptons, due to the fact that strong magnetic fields decrease the central density of stars and, hence, supress the appearance of exotic particles.
