description: We present the real-time renormalization group (RTRG) method as a method to describe the stationary state current through generic multi-level quantum dots with a complex setup in nonequilibrium. The employed approach consists of a very rudiment approximation for the RG equations which neglects all vertex corrections while it provides a means to compute the effective dot Liouvillian self-consistently. Being based on a weak-coupling expansion in the tunneling between dot and reservoirs, the RTRG approach turns out to reliably describe charge fluctuations in and out of equilibrium for arbitrary coupling strength, even at zero temperature. We confirm this in the linear response regime with a benchmark against highly-accurate numerically renormalization group data in the exemplary case of three-level quantum dots. For small to intermediate bias voltages and weak Coulomb interactions, we find an excellent agreement between RTRG and functional renormalization group data, which can be expected to be accurate in this regime. As a consequence, we advertise the presented RTRG approach as an efficient and versatile tool to describe charge fluctuations theoretically in quantum dot systems.

description: Extensive Monte Carlo simulations are performed in order to evaluate both the local ($θ_{l}$) and global ($θ_{g}$) persistence exponents in the Ziff-Gulari-Barshad (ZGB) (Phy. Rev. Lett. {\bf 56}, 2553, (1986)) irreversible reaction model. In two dimensions and for the second-order irreversible phase transition (IPT) we find, that both the local and the global persistence exhibit power-law behavior with a crossover between two different time regimes. On the other hand, at the first-order IPT, characteristic of the ZGB, active sites are short lived and the persistence decays more abruptly, not being clear whether it shows power law behavior or not. In order to analyze universality issues, we have also studied another model with absorbing states, the contact process, and evaluated the local persistence exponent in dimensions from 1 to 4. A striking apparent {\it super-universality} is reported: the local persistence exponent seems to coincide in both one and two dimensional systems.

THE USE OF RACIST AND NATIVIST ARGUMENTS IN THE WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT: 1890-1920
Creators: name: Ehrlich, Kate Aileen
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2009

description: This paper explores the evolution and significance of racist and nativist arguments throughout the women's suffrage movement. Particular focus is given to the period between 1890 and 1920, when the movement gained momentum following the creation of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and the formation of an active women's rights movement in the South. It is the actions of suffrage leaders, pertaining to their use of racist and nativist arguments, and the motivations behind the adoption and widespread use of these arguments within the context of American politics which is of primary concern.

description: The explosive growth in fake news and its erosion to democracy, justice, and public trust has increased the demand for fake news detection and intervention. This survey reviews and evaluates methods that can detect fake news from four perspectives: (1) the false knowledge it carries, (2) its writing style, (3) its propagation patterns, and (4) the credibility of its source. The survey also highlights some potential research tasks based on the review. In particular, we identify and detail related fundamental theories across various disciplines to encourage interdisciplinary research on fake news. We hope this survey can facilitate collaborative efforts among experts in computer and information sciences, social sciences, political science, and journalism to research fake news, where such efforts can lead to fake news detection that is not only efficient but more importantly, explainable.

Comparative Evaluation of Pulsed Versus Constant Exposure Patterns on the Acute Toxicity of 1,3,5—Trinitrobenzene to Daphnia magna

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 1988

description: The difference between the acute toxicities (72—hour EC50) of 1,3,5—trinitrobenzene (TNB) to Daphnia magna following pulsed and constant exposures was evaluated. Pulsed exposure means that daphnids were alternately exposed and not exposed to TNB for a predetermined period. Each period of exposure and nonexposure constituted one cycle period. Eight separate tests covering a selected range of exposure/nonexposure periods were conducted during the course of this research. Daphnids were exposed simultaneously to a range of three concentrations of TNB during pulsed or constant exposures in a specially designed flow—through test apparatus. The concentration of TNB which immobilized 50% of the daphnids (EC50) was estimated for the pulsed and constant exposures using probit or binomial statistical methods. In the two experiments where the TNB exposure period was less than 25% of the cycle period, the pulsed exposure EC5Os were significantly greater than the constant exposure EC5Os (p = 0.05). In the other six experiments where the period of exposure was 25% or greater, the difference between the pulsed and constant exposures were not significantly different, but in four of these six experiments, the EC5Os for the pulsed exposures were greater than the EC5Os resulting from the constant exposure. Additionally, of the four experiments where the concentration— immobilization slopes were available, two were statistically steeper for the pulsed exposures compared to the corresponding slopes for the constant exposures. The other two slopes were also steeper, but not to a statistically significant degree. The data demonstate that pulsed exposures to TNB are less toxic, especially when the period of exposure is short (less than 25% of a cycle). The data also indicate that the daphnids range of sensitivity to TNB may decrease when exposures occur as pulses.
Charge Ordering in Organic ET Compounds

description: The charge ordering phenomena in quasi two-dimensional 1/4-filled organic compounds (ET)_2X (ET=BEDT-TTF) are investigated theoretically for the $θ$ and $α$-type structures, based on the Hartree approximation for the extended Hubbard models with both on-site and intersite Coulomb interactions. It is found that charge ordered states of stripe-type are stabilized for the relevant values of Coulomb energies, while the spatial pattern of the stripes sensitively depends on the anisotropy of the models. By comparing the results of calculations with the experimental facts, where the effects of quantum fluctuation is incorporated by mapping the stripe-type charge ordered states to the S=1/2 Heisenberg Hamiltonians, the actual charge patterns in the insulating phases of $θ$-(ET)_2MM'(SCN)_4 and $α$-(ET)_2I_3 are deduced. Furthermore, to obtain a unified view among the $θ$, $α$ and $κ$-(ET)_2X families, the stability of the charge ordered state in competition with the dimeric antiferromagnetic state viewed as the Mott insulating state, which is typically realized in $κ$-type compounds, and with the paramagnetic metallic state, is also pursued by extracting essential parameters.

description: Given a permutational wreath product sequence of cyclic groups we investigate its minimal generating set, minimal generating set for its commutator and some properties of its commutator subgroup. We strengthen the result of author \cite{SkVC, SkMal, SkAr} and construct minimal generating set for wreath product of finite and infinite cyclic groups and direct product of such groups. We generalize results of Meldrum about commutator subgroup of wreath product \cite{Meld} because we take in consideration as regular wreath product as well as no regular (where active group $\mathcal{A}$ can acts not faithfully). Also commutator of such group and its minimal generating set. Also center of such products was investigated. Also fundamental group of orbits of a Morse function $f:M\to \mathbb{R}$ defined on a Mebius band $M$ with respect to the right action of the group of diffeomorphisms $\mathcal{D}(M)$ is investigated by us. The paper describes precise algebraic structure of the group $π_1 O(f)$. A minimal set of generators for the group of orbits of functions ${{π}_{1}}({{O}_{f}},f)$ arising under the action of diffeomorphisms group stabilizing the function $f$ and stabilizing $\partial M$ is found. The the Morse function $f$ has critical sets with one saddle point. The quotient group of restricted wreath products by its commutator was found. The generic sets of commutator of wreath product were investigated. Minimal generating set for this group and for commutator of group are found. This paper after previous Arxiv versions from 2019 \cite{SkArM, SkArM3} with previous title "Minimal generating set and structure of wreath product of groups with non-faithful action, comutator subgroup of wreath product and the fundamental group of orbit of Morse function $π_1 O(f)$" was published \cite{SkRendi}.

description: The stress-energy tensor of a free quantized scalar field is calculated in the extreme Reissner-Nordström black hole spacetime in the zero temperature vacuum state. The stress-energy appears to be regular on the event horizon, contrary to the suggestion provided by two-dimensional calculations. An analytic calculation on the event horizon for a thermal state shows that if the temperature is nonzero then the stress-energy diverges strongly there.

description: Compost tea is mature compost steeped in water to produce liquid extract that may provide control of fungal pathogens that is safer and cheaper than chemical pesticides. There is much research on compost tea but results have been inconsistent and confirmation of effects is needed. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of compost tea for preventing and suppressing powdery mildew, Microsphaera pulchra on flowering dogwood, Cornus florida. Leafgro, a local compost product with consistent parent material, was tested as foliar spray. Results showed significant disease suppression in compost tea applications compared to control with as much as 85% less disease. Two organic surfactants, Nu-Film P and Vapor Gard, also showed significant suppression with up to 100% disease prevention. Application intervals were also assessed for potential spray programs. Overall, compost tea and surfactants showed potential as fungicides but further study is needed to verify results in this experiment.

Measurement of the Reaction $γ^* p \to ϕp$ in Deep Inelastic $e^+p$ Scattering at HERA

description: The production of $ϕ$ mesons in the reaction $e^{+}p \rightarrow e^{+} ϕp$ ($ϕ\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$), for $7 < Q^2 < 25$ GeV$^2$ and for virtual photon-proton centre of mass energies ($W$) in the range 42-134 GeV, has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA. When compared to lower energy data at similar $Q^2$, the results show that the $γ^*p \rightarrow \phid p$ cross section rises strongly with $W$. This behaviour is similar to that previously found for the $γ^*p \rightarrow ρ^0 p$ cross section. This strong dependence cannot be explained by production through soft pomeron exchange. It is, however, consistent with perturbative QCD expectations, where it reflects the rise of the gluon momentum density in the proton at small $x$. The ratio of $σ(ϕ) / σ(ρ^0)$, which has previously been determined by ZEUS to be 0.065 $\pm$ 0.013 (stat.) in photoproduction at a mean $W$ of 70 GeV, is measured to be 0.18 $\pm $ 0.05 (stat.) $\pm$ 0.03 (syst.) at a mean $Q^2$ of 12.3 GeV$^2$ and mean $W$ of $\approx$ 100 GeV and is thus approaching at large $Q^2$ the value of 2/9 predicted from the quark charges of the vector mesons and a flavour independent production mechanism.

description: High-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems are increasingly incorporated into today's AC power grids, necessitating optimal power flow (OPF) tools for the analysis, planning, and operation of such hybrid systems. To this end, we introduce hynet, a Python-based open-source OPF framework for hybrid AC/DC grids with point-to-point and radial multi-terminal HVDC systems. hynet's design promotes ease of use and extensibility, which is supported by the particular mathematical model and software design presented in this paper. The system model features a unified representation of AC and DC subgrids as well as a concise and flexible converter model, which enable the compact description of a hybrid AC/DC power system and its OPF problem. To support convex relaxation based OPF solution techniques, a state space relaxation is introduced to obtain a unified OPF formulation that is analogous to the OPF of AC power systems. This enables the direct generalization of relaxation-related results for AC grids to hybrid AC/DC grids, which is shown for the semidefinite and second-order cone relaxation as well as associated results on exactness and locational marginal prices. Finally, hynet's object-oriented software design is discussed, which provides extensibility via inheritance and standard design patterns, and its robust and competitive performance is illustrated with case studies.

description: Hybrid components, made of multiple materials, can meet the increasing demands for lightweight construction and functional integration in the automotive and aircraft industry. Hybrid semi-finished components are produced by applying a high-alloy cladding to a low-alloy base material before hot-forming and machining the workpiece. Throughout this process chain, workpiece deviations in the form of material distribution and material properties can occur that influence the component’s lifetime. This paper investigates whether such workpiece deviations can be detected within the process chain by analyzing process signals obtained from subsequent process steps. For this purpose, artificial workpiece deviations were introduced to hybrid semi-finished workpieces made of C22.8/X45CrSi9-3. Then, process signals during forming and machining were analyzed to determine their sensitivity to the artificial deviations. The results revealed that deviations in cladding size can be effectively monitored using signals from both forming and machining. Cladding position deviations can only be detected during machining, while forming signals are more responsive to detecting the introduced hardness deviations of approx. 100 HV0.1.

description: Improving axial resolution is crucial for three-dimensional optical imaging systems. Here we present a scheme of axial superresolution for two incoherent point sources based on spatial mode demultiplexing. A radial mode sorter is used to losslessly decompose the optical fields into a radial mode basis set to extract the phase information associated with the axial positions of the point sources. We show theoretically and experimentally that, in the limit of a zero axial separation, our scheme allows for reaching the quantum Cramér-Rao lower bound and thus can be considered as one of the optimal measurement methods. Unlike other superresolution schemes, this scheme does not require neither activation of fluorophores nor sophisticated stabilization control. Moreover, it is applicable to the localization of a single point source in the axial direction. Our demonstration can be useful to a variety of applications such as far-field fluorescence microscopy.

The calculation is performed under the assumption that the charginos and one stop are lighter than all other squarks and the gluino. In the parameter region where a light charged Higgs boson is consistent with measurements of BR(B\to X_s γ), we find sizeable corrections to the Wilson coefficients. As a consequence, there is a significant reduction of the stop-chargino mass region where the supersymmetric contribution has a large destructive interference with the charged-Higgs boson contribution.

The solution to these equations is obtained in the long-time limit where the system reaches an equilibrium state in the presence of random local electric fields. The complex dynamic linear and third-order nonlinear susceptibilities $χ_1(ω)$ and $χ_3(ω)$, respectively, are calculated as functions of frequency and temperature. In analogy with the static case, the dynamic model predicts a narrow frequency dependent peak in $χ_3(T,ω)$, which mimics a transition into a glass-like state.

description: We discuss the most general effective Lagrangian obtained from the assumption that the degrees of freedom to be quantized, in a black hole, are on the horizon. The effective Lagrangian depends only on the induced metric and the extrinsic curvature of the (fluctuating) horizon, and the possible operators can be arranged in an expansion in powers of $\mpl/M$, where $\mpl$ is the Planck mass and $M$ the black hole mass. We perform a semiclassical expansion of the action with a formalism which preserves general covariance explicitly. Quantum fluctuations over the classical solutions are described by a single scalar field living in the 2+1 dimensional world-volume swept by the horizon, with a given coupling to the background geometry. We discuss the resulting field theory and we compute the black hole entropy with our formalism.

description: Semi-arid regions of Central Asia suffer from wind erosion due to expanding steppe conversion and unsustainable farming practices. Empirical data from field observations are needed to support the implementation of adapted management. In this study, a mobile wind tunnel was used for the first time in Kazakhstan to assess the soil's erodibility under real conditions. Field experiments were conducted on loamy sands with different initial conditions that are typical for the most erosive time of the year: a bare surface with a cloddy structure after recent steppe conversion, a weak crust on a plot with barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and a plot with loose material in the rows of maize plants (Zea mays L.). Subsequently, different levels of mechanical stress (low, moderate, high) were considered to analyze the effect of disruptive forces soils experience during field cultivation (light cultivator, disc harrow, tractor tires) on possible soil losses. The results of wind tunnel experiments showed already great differences under initial conditions. The cloddy structure of the recent steppe conservation had the lowest susceptibility against wind erosion due to a good aggregation and a large roughness, resulting in soil loss of 12 g m−2. The plot grown with barley was less affected by wind erosion due to the weak crust, smaller distances between plants, and leaves close to the ground (soil loss of 34 g m−2). Maize was also the most problematic crop in the study area because wind can blow below the plant canopy without considerable resistance during the early growth stages. Additionally, existing deposits in the maize rows from previous erosion events led to the highest soil loss of 1609 g m−2. Mechanical stress by seedbed preparation generally increased the erodible fraction, resulting in higher soil losses (light cultivator: 198 ± 129 g m−2, disc harrow: 388 ± 258 g m−2). The most severe disruption of soil structure occurred on tractor tire tracks, causing a loss of 2767 ± 1810 g m−2. Consequently, the pulverizing effect of tractor tires on dry soil must be considered a serious emission source. Comparing the soil organic carbon content of topsoil and eroded material showed that organic carbon was enriched only in the aeolian sediments of the recently converted plot (+69%). We conclude that soils after steppe conversion need to be treated with particular care from the very beginning so that severe events from the past are not repeated.

Subjects: Evaluation of drinking water quality at

description: This study was designed to evaluate drinking water quality at Sululta town for a period of 4 months. In Sululta town the treatment method and water distribution schedule was randomly and unplanned. Due to high scarcity of drinking water in the town, villages in the town are getting water by shift of which leads to inside pollution of pipes by microorganisms that brings water born disease. Chlorination is the only treatment method used in the Sululta town. Drinking water supplying for the consumers was checked once a year and chlorine was randomly added to storage tank. Sululta drinking water quality testing and monitoring system was assessed and drinking water quality parameters like pH, alkalinity, turbidity; EC, total hardness, residual of chlorine, total coliform, fecal coliform and etc. were analyzed by sampling from six bore holes, before and after treatment (chlorination) from three reservoir, and water points. The results of these parameters were compared with the Ethiopian standard and WHO guide line values. Accordingly, a sample from bore holes the mean value of pH, TDS, turbidity, E.C were 8.04, 171 mg/l, 0.32 NTU,64.17 μs/cm respectively fitted with Ethiopian standard and WHO guide lines. In addition the mean value of total hardness 171.95 mg/l was accepted by Ethiopian standard but not accepted by WHO guidelines.
 The laboratory test result of boreholes`, reservoirs` and water points` mean value of free chlorine residue was zero (0) mg/l which is out of the range of Ethiopian standard and WHO guide lines , 0.2 mg/l-0.5 mg/l. Biological quality of the reservoirs water did not agree with the maximum limit of Ethiopian standard and WHO guide line.

description: Fixing $t \in \mathbb{R}$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of odd characteristic, we give an explicit upper bound on the proportion of genus $g$ hyperelliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q$ whose zeta function vanishes at $\frac{1}{2} + it$. Our upper bound is independent of $g$ and tends to $0$ as $q$ grows.
EFFECTS OF THE EXOTIC BIVALVE CORBICULA FLUMINEA ON A NATIVE BIVALVE ELLIPTIO COMPLANATA
Creators: name: Elko, Stephanie
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2008

description: In order to establish that native freshwater mussel species are threatened by introduced freshwater species, environmental and behavioral factors must be taken into account. Exotic bivalves may deplete dissolved oxygen and sediment organic matter in the stream benthos to such a degree that the habitat becomes unsuitable for native bivalves. This would then alter the native bivalves' behavior, causing them to respond to environmental disturbances with behaviors interpreted as stress in the presence of non-native bivalves. The native bivalve, Elliptio complanata, displayed behaviors associated with environmental stress in response to oxygen and nutrient depletion by the introduced bivalve, Corbicula fluminea, in a controlled environment. This study clearly shows an increase in movement and mortality of native bivalves in the presence of non-native bivalves. These results indicate that conservation efforts are necessary to ensure survival of native bivalves in freshwater ecosystems.

Elderly Patient Characteristics Associated With Nurses' Attitudes
Creators: name: Elliott, Bonita H.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 1981

description: The relationship of characteristics of elderly nursing home patients and subjective feelings of the nursing personnel who care for these patients was investigated in this study. Objective patient assessments were completed on the sample of 33 patients indicating relative levels of functioning in 55 areas of assessment. These areas included characteristics of the patients describing physical, rental, psychological, and social functioning. Nursing assistants who routinely provide direct care to these patients rated each patient on a 7-point scale according to their subjective feelings about caring for the patient. Correlational analyses were performed comparing the objective measures of relative levels of patient characteristics and the subjective_ ratings of the nursing assistants' feelings about caring for these patients. Relative independence in self-care and socially acceptable behaviors of patients were found to be significantly correlated with favorable ratings of these patients, while physical dependence and socially unacceptable behaviors were correlated with unfavorable ratings of patients.

description: Tritiated water (HTO), a ubiquitous byproduct of the nuclear industry, is a radioactive contaminant of major concern for environmental authorities. Although understanding spatiotemporal heterogeneity of airborne HTO vapor holds great importance for radiological safety as well as diagnosing a reactor’s status, comprehensive HTO distribution dynamics inside nuclear facilities has not been studied routinely yet due to a lack of appropriate monitoring techniques. For current systems, it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high representativeness, sensitivity, and spatial resolution. Here, we developed a passive monitoring scheme, including a newly designed passive sampler and a tailored analytical protocol for the first comprehensive 3D distribution characterization of HTO inside a nuclear reactor facility. The technique enables linear sampling in any environment at a one-day resolution and simultaneous preparation of hundreds of samples within 1 day. Validation experiments confirmed the method’s good metrological properties and sensitivity to the HTO’s spatial dynamics. The air in TU Wien’s reactor hall exhibits a range of 3H concentrations from 75-946 mBq m-3 in the entire 3D matrix. The HTO release rate estimated by the mass-balance model (3199 ± 306 Bq h-1) matches the theoretical calculation (2947 ± 254 Bq h-1), suggesting evaporation as the dominant HTO source in the hall. The proposed method provides reliable and quality-controlled 3D monitoring at low cost, which can be adopted not only for HTO and may also inspire monitoring schemes of other indoor pollutants.
N=2 Curves and a Coulomb Phase in N=1 SUSY Gauge Theories with Adjoint and Fundamental Matters

description: We study low-energy effective superpotentials for the phase with a confined photon in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories with an adjoint matter $Φ$ and fundamental flavors $Q, \tilde Q$. Arbitrary classical gauge groups are considered. The results are used to derive the hyperelliptic curves which describe the Coulomb phase of N=2 supersymmetric QCD with classical gauge groups. These curves are in agreement with those proposed earlier by several authors. Our results also produce the curves relevant to describe the Coulomb phase of N=1 theories with a superpotential of the form $\tilde{Q} Φ^{l} Q$.

description: SummaryContinuous monocropping degrades soil physicochemical properties, leads to the accumulation of toxic compounds and changes soil microbial community composition. Pre-flooding the soil is a promising strategy to improve its productivity; however, little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Here, strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) pot experiments were conducted with soil that had been used for continuous monocropping. The treatments were pre-flooding alone, with rice straw added and with rice straw plus a biofertilizer (mainly contained Bacillus velezensis) amendment, and the impacts of the treatments on soil physicochemical properties, bacterial diversity and composition and the integrated plant–soil–microbe responses were tracked. The strawberry biomass significantly increased after pre-flooding treatments. Pre-flooding increased the soil pH and the available P and K concentrations, while it decreased soil electrical conductivity. The bacterial diversity and abundance significantly increased after pre-flooding treatments. A Mantel test showed that soil pH and salinity were the two most important factors in shaping bacterial composition, but they exerted opposite effects. The increased strawberry biomass after pre-flooding was significantly correlated with bacterial composition and soil salinity in long-term continuous strawberry monocropping systems.

description: We have experimentally investigated the transitions of collective motions of bacterial cells in a shallow circular pool using the bacterial species $Bacillus$ $subtilis$. In our previous paper, we reported that the collective motions were classified into six phases on a phase diagram with two parameters, namely, the reduced cell length $λ$ and the cell density $ρ$. In this study, we focused on the sharp transitions at $λ\cong0.1$ ($\equiv λ_{\rm C1}$) with low values of $ρ$ between the $random$ $motion$ phase and the $one$-$way$ $rotational$ $motion$ phase. By introducing the order parameter $Q$ which measures the aligned cell motion along the circumferential direction of a pool, the transitions at $λ=λ_{\rm C1}$ were clearly characterized. On the basis of the detailed observations of single-cell trajectories in a pool, we verified that the effect of cell$-$noise interactions was widely distributed. We conclude that, even in such random environment, the sharp transitions of collective motions were caused by the cell$-$cell interactions at $λ=λ_{\rm C1}$.

description: By molecular dynamics simulation, discovered is a strange rigid-like nature for a hexagonally packed domain of short chain molecules. In spite of the non-bonded short-range interaction potential (Lennard-Jones potential) among chain molecules, the packed domain gives rise to a resultant global moment of inertia. Accordingly, as two domains encounter obliquely, they rotate so as to be parallel to each other keeping their overall structures as if they were rigid bodies.
