description: We consider the effects of fragmentation on the post-inflationary epoch of reheating. In simple single field models of inflation, an inflaton condensate undergoes an oscillatory phase once inflationary expansion ends. The equation of state of the condensate depends on the shape of the scalar potential, $V(\phi)$, about its minimum. Assuming $V(\phi) \sim \phi^k$, the equation of state parameter is given by $w = P_\phi/\rho_\phi = (k-2)/(k+2)$. The evolution of condensate and the reheating process depend on $k$. For $k \ge 4$, inflaton self-interactions may lead to the fragmentation of the condensate and alter the reheating process. Indeed, these self-interactions lead to the production of a massless gas of inflaton particles as $w$ relaxes to 1/3. If reheating occurs before fragmentation, the effects of fragmentation are harmless. We find, however, that the effects of fragmentation depend sensitively to the specific reheating process. Reheating through the decays to fermions is largely excluded since perturbative couplings would imply that fragmentation occurs before reheating and in fact could prevent reheating from completion. Reheating through the decays to boson is relatively unaffected by fragmentation and reheating through scatterings results in a lower reheating temperature.
Effects of the neutral dynamics model on the particle-in-cell simulations of a Hall thruster plasma discharge

description: The dynamics of the neutral atoms in Hall thrusters affect several plasma processes, from the ionization to the electrons' mobility. In the context of Hall thruster's particle-in-cell (PIC) modeling, the neutrals are often treated kinetically, similar to the plasma species, and their interactions with themselves and the ions are resolved using the Direct-Simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) algorithm. However, the DSMC approach is computationally resource demanding. Therefore, modeling the neutrals as a 1D fluid has been also pursued in simulations that do not involve the radial coordinate and, hence, do not resolve the neutrals' radial expansion. In this article, we present an extensive study on the sensitivity of the PIC simulations of Hall thruster discharge to the model used for the neutral dynamics. We carried out 1D axial PIC simulations with various fluid and kinetic models of the neutrals as well as self-consistent quasi-2D axial-azimuthal simulations with different neutrals' fluid descriptions. Our results show that the predictions of the simulations in either 1D or 2D configurations are highly sensitive to the neutrals' model, and that different treatments of the neutrals change the spatiotemporal evolution of the discharge. Moreover, we observed that considering the ion-neutral collisions causes a significant variation in the neutral temperature, thus requiring that the neutrals' energy equation to be included as well in their fluid system of equations. Finally, the self-consistent axial-azimuthal simulations highlighted that a neutrals' model based on the continuity conservation equation only is not an appropriate choice and leads to physically unexpected high-frequency global discharge oscillations.

description: We construct new finite energy regular solutions in Einstein-Yang-Mills-SU(2) theory. They are static, axially symmetric and approach at infinity the anti-de Sitter spacetime background. These configurations are characterized by a pair of integers $(m, n)$, where $m$ is related to the polar angle and $n$ to the azimuthal angle, being related to the known flat space monopole-antimonopole chains and vortex rings. Generically, they describe composite configurations with several individual components, possesing a nonzero magnetic charge, even in the absence of a Higgs field. Such Yang-Mills configurations exist already in the probe limit, the AdS geometry supplying the attractive force needed to balance the repulsive force of Yang-Mills gauge interactions. The gravitating solutions are constructed by numerically solving the elliptic Einstein-DeTurck--Yang-Mills equations. The variation of the gravitational coupling constant $α$ reveals the existence of two branches of gravitating solutions which bifurcate at some critical value of $α$. The lower energy branch connects to the solutions in the global AdS spacetime, while the upper branch is linked to the generalized Bartnik-McKinnon solutions in asymptotically flat spacetime. Also, a spherically symmetric, closed form solution is found as a perturbation around the globally anti-de Sitter vacuum state.

description: Odds ratios or p_values from individual observational studies can be combined to examine a common cause_effect research question in meta_analysis. However, reliability of individual studies used in meta_analysis should not be taken for granted as claimed cause_effect associations may not reproduce. An evaluation was undertaken on meta_analysis of base papers examining gas stove cooking, including nitrogen dioxide, NO2, and childhood asthma and wheeze associations. Numbers of hypotheses tested in 14 of 27 base papers, 52 percent, used in meta_analysis of asthma and wheeze were counted. Test statistics used in the meta_analysis, 40 odds ratios with 95 percent confidence limits, were converted to p_values and presented in p_value plots. The median and interquartile range of possible numbers of hypotheses tested in the 14 base papers was 15,360, 6,336_49,152. None of the 14 base papers made mention of correcting for multiple testing, nor was any explanation offered if no multiple testing procedure was used. Given large numbers of hypotheses available, statistics drawn from base papers and used for meta-analysis are likely biased. Even so, p-value plots for gas stove_current asthma and gas stove_current wheeze associations show randomness consistent with unproven gas stove harms. The meta-analysis fails to provide reliable evidence for public health policy making on gas stove harms to children in North America. NO2 is not established as a biologically plausible explanation of a causal link with childhood asthma. Biases_multiple testing and p-hacking_cannot be ruled out as explanations for a gas stove_current asthma association claim. Selective reporting is another bias in published literature of gas stove_childhood respiratory health studies. Keywords gas stove, asthma, meta-analysis, p-value plot, multiple testing, p_hacking

description: Using the first-principles density functional approach, we investigate Ca$_2$FeOsO$_6$, a material of double perovskite structure synthesized recently. According to the calculations, Ca$_2$FeOsO$_6$ is a ferrimagnetic Mott-insulator influenced by the cooperative effect of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and Coulomb interactions of Fe-3$d$ and Os-5$d$ electrons, as well as the crystal field. When Fe is replaced with Ni, the system exhibits half metallic (HM) states desirable for spintronic applications. In [Ca$_2$Fe$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$OsO$_6$]$_2$, HM ferrimagnetism is observed with $μ_{\rm tot}=2μ_{\rm B}$ per unit cell for doping rate $x=0.5$, whereas HM antiferromagnetism (HMAFM) with nearly zero spin magnetization in the unit cell for $x=1$, respectively. It is emphasized that half metallicity is retained even with SOC effect due to the large exchange-splitting between spin-up and spin-down bands close to the Fermi level.

description: We study the ballistic conductivity of graphene bilayer in the presence of next-nearest neighbor hoppings between the layers. An undoped and unbiased system was found in Ref. [1] to show a nonuniversal (length-dependent) conductivity $σ(L)$, approaching the value of $σ_\star=3/π\simeq{}0.95$ for large $L$. Here we demonstrate one-parameter scaling and determine the scaling function $β(σ)=d\ln{}\!σ/d\ln{}\!L$. The scaling flow has an attractive fixed point [$\,β(σ_\star)=0$, $β'(σ_\star)<0\,$] reproducing the scenario predicted for random impurity scattering of Dirac fermions with Coulomb repulsion, albeit the system considered is perfectly ballistic and interactions are not taken into account. The role of electrostatic bias between the layers is also briefly discussed.

description: In the present study, the isomeric forms of a biologically active 2-aminopyrimidinium picrate (2APP) cocrystal were investigated using spectroscopic measurements (FT-IR and FT-Raman) and density functional theory calculations. The vibrational assignments of IR and Raman peaks were predicted and the experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of the condensed phase of 2APP were compared with the simulated one. The intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) analysis was performed on all the possible reaction pathways to identify the isomeric forms of 2APP and transition state geometry. From the IRC analysis, a relatively stable form (named as isomer 2) has been identified in addition to the existing isomeric form (isomer 1) in the crystalline packing of 2APP. The presence of non-covalent interactions within the isomeric forms of 2APP was investigated with the help of quantum topological atoms in molecules analysis. Reactivity descriptors and charge delocalization from lone pair to acceptor entities of both the isomers were predicted to validate the interactions present in the molecule and also to understand the charge distribution within the molecule.

Creators: name: Shah, Sidra
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: Sustainability is an issue of growing importance in academia, industry and society. Academic research in safe, sustainable chemistry is therefore the focus of increased attention and resource, and the use of computational tools (e.g., in silico toxicity prediction) can facilitate the development of green chemistry approaches to industrially/societally relevant issues. The focus of this thesis is the application of in silico toxicity screening to a variety of different substances, including low/high molecular weight organic species, organometallic species, and inorganic species, demonstrating their potential for developing polymer-based materials with technical and medical applications that are "safe by design".

description: Colloidal phosphorus (P), defined as P associated with particles within the size range from 1 to 1000 nm, is an often-neglected yet significant component of waterborne P, posing global water quality concerns. This comprehensive review elucidates the various sources and concentrations of colloidal P across diverse water environments, highlighting its prominence in agricultural wastewater, with mean concentrations of 122.6 μg/L (n = 437), compared to groundwater (52.3 μg/L, n = 26), surface freshwater (22.3 μg/L, n = 246), and seawater (5.4 μg/L, n = 36). Correlations between physicochemical water parameters, elemental composition and colloidal P concentrations are obtained, and the dominant subfractions and chemical species of colloidal P in water are identified. Notably from chemical speciation, colloidal organic P exhibits dominance in surface freshwater with higher abundance relative to colloidal inorganic P. Meanwhile, statistical analyses on physical fractions of colloidal P indicate that fine subfractions prevail in agricultural wastewater. Accordingly, this review investigates potential transformation mechanisms of colloidal P due to physical and chemical behaviors such as aggregation, desorption, and photodegradation, influenced by factors such as pH, salinity, coexisting elements and UV irradiation. Drawing on these insights, we propose eco-friendly mitigation strategies, including constructed wetlands or ecological drainage ditches and UV irradiation, aimed at treating water (especially agricultural wastewater) with elevated colloidal P levels. This review not only enhances our understanding of the occurrence and transformations of colloidal P, but also offers practical guidance for its effective environmental management.

The synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis H37Ra (MTB) and M. bovis BCG strains. The compounds 4a, 4b, 4e, 4i, 4k and 4l are highly potent against both the strains. Most of the active compounds are non-cytotoxic against MCF-7, A549, HCT 116 and THP-1 cell lines. Furthermore, a molecular docking study of these compounds was carried out to investigate their binding pattern with the target, active site of mycobacterial enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (Inh A). Therefore, these compounds can be subjected for further optimization and drug development which could give promising chemical leads for treatment of TB.

description: Kinks, point-like geometrical defects along dislocations, domain walls, and DNA, are stable and mobile, as solutions of a sine-Gordon wave equation. While they are widely investigated for crystal deformations and domain wall motions, electronic properties of individual kinks have received little attention. In this work, electronically and topologically distinct kinks are discovered along electronic domain walls in a correlated van der Waals insulator of 1$T$-TaS$_2$. Mobile kinks and antikinks are identified as trapped by pinning defects and imaged in scanning tunneling microscopy. Their atomic structures and in-gap electronic states are unveiled, which are mapped approximately into Su-Schrieffer-Heeger solitons. The twelve-fold degeneracy of the domain walls in the present system guarantees an extraordinarily large number of distinct kinks and antikinks to emerge. Such large degeneracy together with the robust geometrical nature may be useful for handling multilevel information in van der Waals materials architectures.

description: Türkiye is a region prone to earthquakes, and its fault structures generate destructive earthquakes on a regular basis. In this sense, a second devastating earthquake occurred in February 2023, and a great deal of information and news about it was distributed, particularly on social media. In cases of natural disasters such as earthquakes, this study examines the effect of intense and negative news flow on news avoidance as a consequence of people’s search for information about the event on social media. In this regard, a survey was conducted with the participation of 398 social media users in Istanbul, the most populous and earthquake-prone city in Türkiye, during the months of March and April. As a result of the study, it has been determined that there is a direct effect between information seeking on social media and news avoidance, whereas there is an indirect mediation effect between doomscrolling, news overload, and news fatigue. In addition, as the age and educational level of the participants increase, while being affected by doomscrolling, news overload, news fatigue, and news avoidance variables decrease, there is no significant difference in the category of information seeking on social media.

description: We have developed a novel in situ methodology for the direct study of mass transport properties in oxides with spatial and unprecedented time resolution, based on Raman spectroscopy coupled to isothermal isotope exchanges. Changes in the isotope concentration, resulting in a Raman frequency shift, can be followed in real time, not accessible by conventional methods, enabling complementary insights for the study of ion transport properties of electrode and electrolyte materials for advanced solid-state electrochemical devices. The proof of concept and strengths of isotope exchange Raman spectroscopy (IERS) are demonstrated by studying the oxygen isotope back-exchange in gadolinium-doped ceria (CGO) thin films. Resulting oxygen self-diffusion and surface exchange coefficients are compared to conventional time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) characterisation and literature values, showing good agreement, while at the same time providing additional insight, challenging established assumptions. IERS captivates through its rapidity, simple setup, non-destructive nature, cost effectiveness and versatile fields of application and thus can readily be integrated as new standard tool for in situ and operando characterization in many laboratories worldwide. The applicability of this method is expected to consolidate our understanding of elementary physicochemical processes and impact various emerging fields including solid oxide cells, battery research and beyond.

description: Purpose: Preservice training is an important step to provide augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) professionals with the skills needed to facilitate inclusion and AAC success. However, existing research has largely focused on evaluating the perspectives of speech-language pathology faculty regarding preservice AAC course design. Thus, identifying important teaching topics and pedagogical teaching strategies for AAC from the perspectives of practicing professionals may provide an avenue for bolstering effective AAC implementation.Method: A total of 67 speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and 330 special education teachers (SETs) in the state of Nebraska completed an online survey investigating the prevalence of preservice training in AAC, preferred teaching topics and strategies, and self-perceived levels of competency immediately following their preservice training in AAC.Results: The majority of SLPs (76.1%) and the minority of SETs (23.5%) indicated receiving a dedicated course in AAC. Participants reported a preference for active learning activities, or a mix of active and passive learning, although specific preferences slightly differed between SLPs and SETs. Participants also indicated a desire for the incorporation of individuals from different disciplines in their preservice coursework. However, strategies for facilitating interactive learning between disciplines require further study.Conclusion: Study findings corroborate and extend existing research and methods for preservice AAC delivery.Supplemental Materials S1.

description: In this paper, we propose a wireless Communicator to manage and enhance a Cardiac Rhythm Management System. The system includes: (1) an on-body wireless Electrocardiogram (ECG), (2) an Intracardiac Electrogram (EGM) embedded inside an Implantable Cardioverter/Defibrillator, and (3) a Communicator (with a resident Learning System). The first two devices are existing technology available in the market and are emulated using data from the Physionet database, while the Communicator was designed and implemented by our research team. The value of the information obtained by combining the information supplied by (1) and (2), presented to the Communicator, improves decision making regarding use of the actuator or other actions. Preliminary results show a high level of confidence in the decisions made by the Communicator. For example, excellent accuracy is achieved in predicting atrial arrhythmia in 8 patients using only external ECG when we used a neural network.

Interference effects for Higgs-mediated Z-pair plus jet production

description: We study interference effects in the production channel ZZ + jet, in particular focusing on the role of the Higgs boson. This production channel receives contributions both from Higgs boson-mediated diagrams via the decay $H \to ZZ$ (signal diagrams), as well as from diagrams where the Z-bosons couple directly to a quark loop (background diagrams). We consider the partonic processes $gggZZ$ and $gq \bar{q} ZZ$ in which interference between signal and background diagrams first occurs. Since interference is primarily an off-resonant effect for the Higgs boson, we treat the Z-bosons as on-shell. Thus our analysis is limited to the region above threshold, where the invariant mass of the Z-pair, $m_{ZZ}$, satisfies the condition $m_{ZZ}>2m_Z$. In the region $m_{ZZ} > 300$ GeV we find that the interference in the ZZ + jet channel is qualitatively similar to interference in the inclusive ZZ channel. Moreover, the rates are sufficient to study these effects at the LHC once jet-binned data become available.

description: An innate desire for exploration has drawn humans to the ocean for millennia. Today, scientists continue to explore the oceans through sophisticated and highly coordinated expeditions. These expeditions are impactful but can be daunting to newcomers, which makes it difficult to accomplish scientific and personal goals. In this article, we provide guidance to new seafaring scientists, irrespective of their background and discipline, on how to prepare for their debut at sea. We describe strategies for planning and completing oceanographic expeditions and outline general approaches that can be tailored to the unique needs of individual ocean researchers.
Postselection induced entanglement swapping from a vacuum--excitation entangled state to separate quantum systems

description: We show that a single particle in a superposition of different paths can entangle two objects located on each path. The entanglement has its maximum visibility for intermediate coupling strengths. In particular, when the two quantum systems with which the particle interacts are detectors that measure its presence and its polarization, the so-called quantum Cheshire cat is realized.

description: This study introduces a green and efficient method for preparing biologically active substituted pyrido[2,3-d:5,6-d′]dipyrimidines through one-pot three-component reaction of barbituric acid/1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid/thiobarbituric acid, aromatic aldehydes, and 6-aminouracil in the presence of triethylenediamine-based ionic liquid@MIL-101(Cr) composite. TEDA-BAIL@MIL-101(Cr) was also used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolinetriones by the one-pot four-component condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes, barbituric acid, dimedone, and aryl amines. The reactions were conducted under ultrasonic irradiation with high to excellent yields of products. The presented nanostructure was prepared using a simple method and was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDX, and TGA techniques. The TEDA-BAIL@MIL-101(Cr) nanocomposite could be easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused several times without a significant loss of its activity.

Η εργασία αυτή εμβαθύνει στην περίπτωση του ιστορικού κέντρου του Ναυπλίου, όπου έχοντας μελετήσει τη μακραίωνη ιστορική και πολεοδομική πορεία του γίνεται μία κριτική στις αποφάσεις που πάρθηκαν και διαμόρφωσαν τη σημερινή του μορφή. Στη συνέχεια ακολουθεί η δική μου πολεοδομική πρόταση, η οποία βασίζεται στις θεωρητικές πρακτικές προστασίας και ανάδειξης των ιστορικών κέντρων, καθώς και σε επιτυχημένα παραδείγματα που έχουν εφαρμοστεί σε ιστορικά κέντρα ευρωπαϊκών χωρών, επιφέροντας θετικά αποτελέσματα στο πέρασμα των αιώνων. Σημαντικό κριτήριο για την επιλογή των αποφάσεων αποτελεί η συνεισφορά των μόνιμων κατοίκων, αλλά και των επισκεπτών κάνοντας χρήση του συμμετοχικού σχεδιασμού.

description: Let $B(X,Y)$ be a polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ which defines an $\mathbb{F}_q$-bilinear form on the vector space $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, and let $ξ$ be a nonzero element in $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. In this paper, we consider for which $B(X,Y)$, the binary operation $xy+B(x,y)ξ$ defines a (pre)semifield multiplication on $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. We prove that this question is equivalent to finding $q$-linearized polynomials $L(X)\in\mathbb{F}_{q^n}[X]$ such that $Tr_{q^n/q}(L(x)/x)\neq 0$ for all $x\in\mathbb{F}_{q^n}^*$. For $n\le 4$, we present several families of $L(X)$ and we investigate the derived (pre)semifields. When $q$ equals a prime $p$, we show that if $n>\frac{1}{2}(p-1)(p^2-p+4)$, $L(X)$ must be $a_0 X$ for some $a_0\in\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ satisfying $Tr_{q^n/q}(a_0)\neq 0$. Finally, we include a natural connection with certain cyclic codes over finite fields, and we apply the Hasse-Weil-Serre bound for algebraic curves to prove several necessary conditions for such kind of $L(X)$.
