description: We study the approximate differentiability of measurable mappings of Carnot--Carathéodory spaces. We show that the approximate differentiability almost everywhere is equivalent to the approximate differentiability along the basic horizontal vector fields almost everywhere. As a geometric tool we prove the generalization of Rashevsky--Chow theorem for $C^1$-smooth vector fields. The main result of the paper extends theorems on approximate differentiability proved by Stepanoff (1923, 1925) and Whitney (1951) in Euclidean spaces and by Vodopyanov (2000) on Carnot groups.

description: Lee codes have been intensively studied for more than 40 years. Interest in these codes has been triggered by the Golomb-Welch conjecture on the existence of the perfect error-correcting Lee codes. In this paper we deal with the existence and enumeration of diameter perfect Lee codes. As main results we determine all $q$ for which there exists a linear diameter-4 perfect Lee code of word length $n$ over $Z_{q},$ and prove that for each $n\geq 3$ there are uncountable many diameter-4 perfect Lee codes of word length $n$ over $Z.$ This is in a strict contrast with perfect error-correcting Lee codes of word length $n$ over $Z\,$\ as there is a unique such code for $n=3,$ and its is conjectured that this is always the case when $2n+1$ is a prime. We produce diameter perfect Lee codes by an algebraic construction that is based on a group homomorphism. This will allow us to design an efficient algorithm for their decoding. We hope that this construction will turn out to be useful far beyond the scope of this paper.

description: Hypoxia is a common challenge faced by bacteria during associations with hosts due in part to the formation of densely packed communities (biofilms). cbb3-type cytochrome c oxidases, which catalyze the terminal step in respiration and have a high affinity for oxygen, have been linked to bacterial pathogenesis. The pseudomonads are unusual in that they often contain multiple full and partial (i.e. ‘orphan’) operons for cbb3-type oxidases and oxidase subunits. Here, we describe a unique role for the orphan catalytic subunit CcoN4 in colony biofilm development and respiration in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14. We also show that CcoN4 contributes to the reduction of phenazines, antibiotics that support redox balancing for cells in biofilms, and to virulence in a Caenorhabditis elegans model of infection. These results highlight the relevance of the colony biofilm model to pathogenicity and underscore the potential of cbb3-type oxidases as therapeutic targets.

description: In this essay a critical review of present conceptual problems in current cosmology is provided from a more philosophical point of view. In essence, a digression on how could philosophy help cosmologists in what is strictly their fundamental endeavor is presented. We start by recalling some examples of enduring confrontations among philosophers and physicists on what could be contributed by the formers to the day-time striving of the second ones. Then, a short review of the standard model Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walter (FLRW) of cosmology is given. It seems apparent that cosmology is living a golden age with the advent of observations of high precision. Nonetheless, a critical revisiting of the direction in which it should go on appears also needed, for misconcepts like "quantum backgrounds for cosmological classical settings" and "quantum gravity unification" have not been properly constructed up-to-date. Thus, knowledge-building in cosmology, more than in any other field, should begin with visions of the reality, then taking technical form whenever concepts and relations inbetween are translated into a mathematical structure. It is mandatory, therefore, that the meaning of such concepts be the same for all cosmologists, and that any relationship among all them be tested both logically as well as mathematically. In other words, the notorius feature of improbability of our universe, as is well-known, assures to cosmologists a priviledged degree of freedom for formulating interpretations and theories. However, at the same time, it demands for their formulations and conclusions to be considered in the light of data taken from astrophysical observations.

Effect of changes of variable flavor number scheme on parton distribution functions and predicted cross sections

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: I consider variations in the definitions, at next-to-leading order (NLO) and at next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO), of a General-Mass Variable Flavour Number Scheme (GM-VFNS) for heavy flavour structure functions. I also define a new "optimal" scheme choice improving the smoothness of the transition from one flavour number to the next. I investigate the variation of the structure function for a fixed set of parton distribution functions (PDFs) and also the change in the PDFs when a new MSTW2008-type global fit to data is performed for each GM-VFNS. At NLO the parton distributions, and predictions using them at hadron colliders, can vary by 2-3% from the mean value. At NNLO there is far more stability with varying GM-VFNS definition, and changes in PDFs and predictions are less than 1%, with most variation at very small x values. Hence, mass-scheme variation is an additional and significant source of uncertainty when considering parton distributions, but as with all perturbative uncertainties, it diminishes quickly as higher orders are included.

An evaluation of new and traditional approaches to monitor drinking water quality in British Columbia
Creators: name: Krentz, Corinne Andrea
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Microbiological monitoring of drinking water is a critical element in the source-to-tap framework. This research provides an assessment of traditional and alternative approaches to drinking water monitoring, explores new applications for existing indicators and evaluates a new tool to manage fecal contamination in water. British Columbia (BC) Drinking Water Protection Regulation requires that drinking water samples be tested at an accredited laboratory. This creates challenges related to accessibility for some systems. The objective was to evaluate the agreement between indicator bacteria test results obtained with the current approach and an alternative approach using a presence/absence test close to the point of sample collection. Samples were collected from 83 small systems in the South Cariboo, BC. The agreement measured using Cohen’s kappa was moderate to substantial for total coliforms (0.64 ± 0.11) and E. coli (0.73 ± 0.20). The value of monitoring total coliforms and E. coli in parallel is a topic of current debate. The objective was to evaluate the potential for non-E. coli total coliform events to predict E. coli occurrence in subsequent drinking water samples. Life table analysis of microbiological testing data from small systems in BC showed that systems with a positive non-E. coli total coliform result were twice as likely to observe an E. coli-positive result in a subsequent water sample compared to systems that had not tested positive for total coliforms previously (RR=2.04). Routine drinking water samples containing indicator bacteria are not analyzed further to investigate sources of fecal contamination. The objective was to develop a tool to identify fecal contamination sources in BC drinking water and evaluate the tool using water samples with evidence of fecal contamination. Markers associated with human, livestock and wildlife contamination were selected. Singleplex and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to test contaminated raw water and drinking water samples for presence of host-associated markers. Low sensitivity of the multiplexed reaction limits its use to detect levels of markers present in contaminated drinking water samples. Singleplex PCR using host-associated markers is a promising tool to identify fecal contamination sources in small volumes of raw and drinking water.

description: We consider qubit networks where adjacent qubits besides interacting via XY-coupling, also dissipate into the same environment. The steady states are computed exactly for all network sizes and topologies, showing that they are always symmetric under permutation of network sites, leading to a uniform distribution of the stationary entanglement across the network. The maximum entanglement between two arbitrary qubits is shown to depend only on the total number of qubits in the network, and scales linearly with it. A possible physical realization by means of an array of doped cavities is discussed for the case of a linear chain.

description: Noncommutative quantum mechanics can be considered as a first step in the construction of quantum field theory on noncommutative spaces of generic form, when the commutator between coordinates is a function of these coordinates. In this paper we discuss the mathematical framework of such a theory. The noncommutativity is treated as an external antisymmetric field satisfying the Jacoby identity. First, we propose a symplectic realization of a given Poisson manifold and construct the Darboux coordinates on the obtained symplectic manifold. Then we define the star product on a Poisson manifold and obtain the expression for the trace functional. The above ingredients are used to formulate a nonrelativistic quantum mechanics on noncommutative spaces of general form. All considered constructions are obtained as a formal series in the parameter of noncommutativity. In particular, the complete algebra of commutation relations between coordinates and conjugated momenta is a deformation of the standard Heisenberg algebra. As examples we consider a free particle and an isotropic harmonic oscillator on the rotational invariant noncommutative space.

description: This article tells the story of a young Charleston physician, John W. Schmidt Jr., whose medical license was revoked in 1831 because he was accused of being of “mixed blood.” The physician’s ancestry was unusual: his grandmother Marie-Adélaïde Rossignol Dumont was born in Gorée, West Africa; she was not a slave but a wealthy merchant who came to the United States in the 1790s via the French colony of Saint Domingue, which she left in the wake of the Haitian Revolution. The grandmother used various strategies of social and racial self-reinvention as she roamed the Atlantic world. Her acceptance into the Charleston elite was consistent with a traditional definition of race that was social and political rather than biological. The decision by the Medical Society of South Carolina to revoke her grandson’s license following a denunciation by a fellow refugee from Saint Domingue and fellow physician, Vincent LeSeigneur, was a manifestation of the rising “scientific racism” whose early advocates were members of the medical profession.

description: We produce synthetic images and SEDs from radiation hydrodynamical simulations of radiatively driven implosion. The synthetically imaged bright rimmed clouds (BRCs) are morphologically similar to those observed in star forming regions. Using nebular diagnostic line-ratios, simulated Very Large Array (VLA) radio images, Hα imaging and SED fitting we compute the neutral cloud and ionized boundary layer gas densities and temperatures and perform a virial stability analysis for each model cloud. We determine that the neutral cloud temperatures derived by SED fitting are hotter than the dominant neutral cloud temperature by 1 - 2 K due to emission from warm dust. This translates into a change in the calculated cloud mass by 8-35 %. Using a constant mass conversion factor (Cν) for BRCs of different class is found to give rise to errors in the cloud mass of up to a factor of 3.6. The ionized boundary layer (IBL) electron temperature calculated using diagnostic line ratios is more accurate than assuming the canonical value adopted for radio diagnostics of 10^4 K. Both radio diagnostics and diagnostic line ratios are found to underestimate the electron density in the IBL. Each system is qualitatively correctly found to be in a state in which the pressure in the ionized boundary layer is greater than the supporting cloud pressure, implying that the objects are being compressed. We find that observationally derived mass loss estimates agree with those on the simulation grid and introduce the concept of using the mass loss flux to give an indication of the relative strength of photo-evaporative flow between clouds. The effect of beam size on these diagnostics in radio observations is found to be a mixing of the bright rim and ambient cloud and HII region fluxes, which leads to an underestimate of the cloud properties relative to a control diagnostic.

description: Recently, it was found by Schneider et al. [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 108, 3838 (2011)], using simulations, that scale-free networks with "onion structure" are very robust against targeted high degree attacks. The onion structure is a network where nodes with almost the same degree are connected. Motivated by this work, we propose and analyze, based on analytical considerations, an onion-like candidate for a nearly optimal structure against simultaneous random and targeted high degree node attacks. The nearly optimal structure can be viewed as a hierarchically interconnected random regular graphs, the degrees and populations of which are specified by the degree distribution. This network structure exhibits an extremely assortative degree-degree correlation and has a close relationship to the "onion structure." After deriving a set of exact expressions that enable us to calculate the critical percolation threshold and the giant component of a correlated network for an arbitrary type of node removal, we apply the theory to the cases of random scale-free networks that are highly vulnerable against targeted high degree node removal. Our results show that this vulnerability can be significantly reduced by implementing this onion-like type of degree-degree correlation without much undermining the almost complete robustness against random node removal. We also investigate in detail the robustness enhancement due to assortative degree-degree correlation by introducing a joint degree-degree probability matrix that interpolates between an uncorrelated network structure and the onion-like structure proposed here by tuning a single control parameter. The optimal values of the control parameter that maximize the robustness against simultaneous random and targeted attacks are also determined. Our analytical calculations are supported by numerical simulations.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.There is a substantial difference of opinion between fishermen and the scientific community about the development during the latest decade of the biomass of large Atlantic cod in the North Sea. Knowledge about the distribution of cod on a small geographical scale is important to interpret catch rates of commercial vessels as well as of scientific surveys. Still, the dynamics of small scale spatial distribution of cod is poorly understood. Together with other related research activities, a study was therefore conducted during the summer of 2008 at 10 selected ship wrecks known to hold large cod (>70 cm). The aims were to examine the time budget of cod at these wrecks by use of acoustic telemetry and to investigate the effects of a variety of variables on the observed absence/presence patterns. As foraging was considered a major incentive to locomotion of cod outside the spawning season, stomach samples were collected from wrecks during the study period. A total of 121 cod were tagged with acoustic tags during three different tagging sessions. Two listening buoys were deployed at each wreck. After a field period of more than four months (MaySeptember), 63 cod tagged at 9 wrecks were included in the analyses. Several hundred stomach samples were collected. Preliminary results indicate that the diet of large cod at wreck sites is dominated by prey types from smooth bottom and that absence/presence patterns differ among wrecks. The influences of physical variables will be presented as well.

description: This study investigated the differences between how individual teachers perceive leadership for learning and how teachers collectively perceive leadership for learning, using a large nationally generalizable data-set of 7070 schools from the National Center for Education Statistics 2011–2012 Schools and Staffing Survey. This study used cross-validation multilevel factor analysis to find that individual teachers view leadership for learning as consisting of six factors (school influence, classroom control, collegial climate, student attendance, neighbourhood context, teacher commitment) whereas teachers collectively (e.g. as a faculty) perceive three factors that are non-isomorphic with the individual-level factors (instructional leadership, management, social environment). These results imply that teachers collectively have a functional view of leadership, while individual teachers have views more aligned to specific areas of influence. This article provides the beginning of a theoretical framework for future multilevel educational leadership research into teacher leadership and leadership for learning.
Generalization of Linearized Gouy-Chapman-Stern Model of Electric Double Layer for Nanostructured and Porous Electrodes: Deterministic and Stochastic Morphology

description: We generalize linearized Gouy-Chapman-Stern theory of electric double layer for nanostructured and morphologically disordered electrodes. Equation for capacitance is obtained using linear Gouy-Chapman (GC) or Debye-$\rm{\ddot{u}}$ckel equation for potential near complex electrode/electrolyte interface. The effect of surface morphology of an electrode on electric double layer (EDL) is obtained using "multiple scattering formalism" in surface curvature. The result for capacitance is expressed in terms of the ratio of Gouy screening length and the local principal radii of curvature of surface. We also include a contribution of compact layer, which is significant in overall prediction of capacitance. Our general results are analyzed in details for two special morphologies of electrodes, i.e. "nanoporous membrane" and "forest of nanopillars". Variations of local shapes and global size variations due to residual randomness in morphology are accounted as curvature fluctuations over a reference shape element. Particularly, the theory shows that the presence of geometrical fluctuations in porous systems causes enhanced dependence of capacitance on mean pore sizes and suppresses the magnitude of capacitance. Theory emphasizes a strong influence of overall morphology and its disorder on capacitance. Finally, our predictions are in reasonable agreement with recent experimental measurements on supercapacitive mesoporous systems.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Hypoxia is a common phenomenon in the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and hypoxic events are observed with increasing frequencies in lakes and coastal regions (Diaz & Rosenberg 2008). General knowledge on how hypoxic water volumes limit individual dispersion is crucial to predict the consequences of hypoxic events on fish populations’ distributions in space. So far, this knowledge has been based either on laboratory studies focusing on individual behaviour, or on trawl survey data focusing on the population level distribution limits.

description: Using the technique of Angulo & White (2010) we scale the Millennium and Millennium-II simulations of structure growth in a LCDM universe from the cosmological parameters with which they were carried out (based on first-year results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, WMAP1) to parameters consistent with the seven-year WMAP data (WMAP7). We implement semi-analytic galaxy formation modelling on both simulations in both cosmologies to investigate how the formation, evolution and clustering of galaxies are predicted to vary with cosmological parameters. The increased matter density Omega_m and decreased linear fluctuation amplitude sigma8 in WMAP7 have compensating effects, so that the abundance and clustering of dark halos are predicted to be very similar to those in WMAP1 for z <= 3. As a result, local galaxy properties can be reproduced equally well in the two cosmologies by slightly altering galaxy formation parameters. The evolution of the galaxy populations is then also similar. In WMAP7, structure forms slightly later. This shifts the peak in cosmic star formation rate to lower redshift, resulting in slightly bluer galaxies at z=0. Nevertheless, the model still predicts more passive low-mass galaxies than are observed. For rp< 1Mpc, the z=0 clustering of low-mass galaxies is weaker for WMAP7 than for WMAP1 and closer to that observed, but the two cosmologies give very similar results for more massive galaxies and on large scales. At z>1 galaxies are predicted to be more strongly clustered for WMAP7. Differences in galaxy properties, including, clustering, in these two cosmologies are rather small up to redshift 3. Given that there are still considerable residual uncertainties in galaxy formation models, it is very difficult to distinguish WMAP1 from WMAP7 through observations of galaxy properties or their evolution.

description: Стаття присвячена поглибленню дослідження природно-правових особливостей суспільної аномії на основі філософсько-правового підходу.

Зазначено, що прагнення людства до соціальної стабільності закріплюється та гарантується законодавством держав в межах природно-правового простору. Порушення цілісності процесу розвитку соціуму може сприяти переходу суспільства до стану аномії. Проблеми природно-правових особливостей суспільної аномії подиктована глобальною нестабільність сучасного світу, що проявляється у масштабній військовій агресії, занепаді духовно-моральних ціннісно-правових орієнтирів.

Доводиться, що людина зі стійкими правовими та морально-етичними переконаннями і сформованими ціннісними орієнтирами здатна до правомірно активної життєдіяльності в період аномії та намагається бути прикладом для оточення. Чим довше триває період кризово-перехідного стану в суспільстві, тим складніше налагодити його стабільно правомірну життєдіяльність, адже, досить часто, особи, що проживають в такий період розвитку певного суспільства, не можуть і не бажають відновити свою ціннісну правомірну життєдіяльність. Такі особи виправдовують свою поведінку тим, що вона не є неправомірною, не несе серйозної шкоди оточенню тощо.

Акцентовано, що в кризовий період суспільного розвитку важливо надавати підтримку особам, які схильні до поведінки з відхиленням, у яких не сформувалися чіткі морально-правові пріоритети.

Умотивовано, що аномія є кризово-перехідним станом розвитку суспільства, що потребує особливого природно-правового регулювання на основі норм моралі, загальноцивілізаційних ціннісних принципів, які закладаються в основу позитивного права. Сформовані під впливом таких норм ціннісно-правові орієнтири та морально-правові переконання допоможуть особі уникнути неправомірної, девіантної поведінки та стануть позитивним прикладом для осіб, що потребують підтримки в період суспільної аномії.

Children--Mortality

description: Background:
The reported prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has increased markedly in the past two decades. Recent research indicates that children with ASD are at a substantially increased risk of injury mortality, particularly from unintentional drowning. The purpose of this study was to explore the circumstances of fatal unintentional drowning incidents involving children with ASD under 15 years of age.

Findings:
During January 2000 through May 2017, US newspapers reported a total of 23 fatal drowning incidents involving 18 boys and 5 girls with ASD. Age of victims ranged from 3 to 14 years (mean = 7.7 ± 2.9 years). These drowning incidents most commonly occurred in ponds (52.2%), followed by rivers (13.0%), and lakes (13.0%). For 11 incidents with location data available, the distance between victim residence and the water body where drowning occurred averaged 290.7 m (± 231.5 m). About three-quarters (73.3%) of the drowning incidents occurred in the afternoon hours from 12:00 to 18:59. Wandering was the most commonly reported activity that led to drowning, accounting for 73.9% of the incidents.

Conclusions:
Fatal drowning in children with ASD typically occur in water bodies near the victims’ homes in the afternoon hours precipitated by wandering. Multifaceted intervention programs are urgently needed to reduce the excess risk of drowning in children with ASD.
Validation of the Jack pine version of CroBas-PipeQual
Creators: name: Shcherbinina, Anna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The objective of this study was to validate the performance of the jack pine (Pinus banksiana L.) version of the growth simulator CroBas-PipeQual. A data-based approach and a simulation approach were applied. For the data-based validation, Ontario permanent sample plots (PSPs) were used as input to the CroBas-PipeQual simulator to obtain predicted values for growth of dbh, height, basal area per ha, changes in crown height and number of trees per ha. The corresponding growth (change) in these variables was compared with the measured growth (change) on the PSPs. For the simulation studies, I assessed the impact of different initial stand densities, different initial heights, and different values of the model parameters on the output variables and compared the simulated response to biological expectations. CroBas-PipeQual simulator generally underestimated growth/change of all variables at the stand and single tree level using both default and adjusted values of alpha-r. Running the simulator with the adjusted values of alpha-r did not show marked improvements in the simulator´s performance. The simulator generally produced logical results based on the simulations conducted. In denser stands, trees had a smaller average dbh at a given age, and basal area growth and change in number of trees were higher. Initial density had almost no influence on height and crown height growth. The number of stems per ha remained essentially the same on sites with different productivities, indicating that there may be problems with estimating mortality in the simulator. Varying the initial heights had almost no impact on the number of stems per ha, dbh growth and basal area growth. Overall, the simulator performed reasonably. However, it requires further testing. More testing with suitable data will allow assessing the simulator´s applicability to other site types and geographical locations. Another area that needs attention is modelling mortality. Recalibrating some of the equation parameters internal to the jack pine version of CrosBas-PipeQual is recommended, followed by further testing. Finally, the accuracy of predictions of variables not evaluated in this study (e.g., branch sizes, numbers, and locations) should be assessed before these components of the simulator are used operationally.
title: Reducing Road Transport Emissions in Europe: Investigating A Demand Side Driven Approach
Creators: name: Enzmann, Johannes
name: Ringel, Marc
Publisher: name: MDPI
Year: 2023

description: The European Union aims at net-zero emissions by 2050. A key sector to achieve this goal is road transport, where emissions show no signs of reducing but continue to grow. A review of policies undertaken by EU member states and the G20 to reduce transport emissions reveals that both present and planned policies focus on binding supply-side measures, but offer only weak demand-side incentives. To address this imbalance, we developed a downstream, demand-side policy prototype through an expert interview design process. We call the prototype “cap-and-surrender” because it caps road emissions, and then allocates tradable emission allowances to individual vehicles that drivers surrender at each fill-up. Allowance pricing, both by the state and in the secondary market, is designed to incentivize decarbonization of the sector. Though the system would require significant investment, its revenue potential to the state should exceed this investment by several multiples. We discuss the potential economic, environmental and social impacts of the policy, as assessed by European transport experts. We find that the approach can deliver significant transport emission reductions in an effective and economically efficient manner. Through the appropriate design of national allocation rules and a gradual phasing in of cap and surrender, potential negative social consequences can be mitigated, and public acceptance of the policy promoted.
Stability analysis of multiple nonequilibrium fixed points in self-consistent electron transport calculations

description: We present a method to perform stability analysis of nonequilibrium fixed points appearing in self-consistent electron transport calculations. The nonequilibrium fixed points are given by the self-consistent solution of stationary, nonlinear kinetic equation for single-particle density matrix. We obtain the stability matrix by linearizing the kinetic equation around the fixed points and analyze the real part of its spectrum to assess the asymptotic time behavior of the fixed points. We derive expressions for the stability matrices within Hartree-Fock and linear response adiabatic time-dependent density functional theory. The stability analysis of multiple fixed points is performed within the nonequilibrium Hartree-Fock approximation for the electron transport through a molecule with a spin-degenerate single level with local Coulomb interaction.

description: Background:
Drug overdose is a public health crisis in the United States, due in part to the unintended consequences of increases in prescribing of opioid analgesics. Many clinicians evaluate risk markers for opioid-related harms when prescribing opioids for chronic pain; however, more data on predictive risk markers are needed. Risk markers are attributes (modifiable and non-modifiable) that are associated with increased probability of an outcome. This review aims to identify risk markers associated with fatal and non-fatal prescription drug overdose by synthesizing findings in the existing peer-reviewed and grey literature. Eligible cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, and case-cohort studies were reviewed and data were extracted for qualitative and quantitative synthesis.

Findings:
Summary odds ratios (SOR) were estimated from 29 studies for six risk markers: sex, age, race, psychiatric disorders, substance use disorder (SUD), and urban/rural residence. Heterogeneity was assessed and effect estimates were stratified by study characteristics. Of the six risk markers identified, SUD had the strongest association with drug overdose death (SOR = 5.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 3.53 - 7.76), followed by psychiatric disorders (SOR = 3.94, 95% CI = 3.09 - 5.01), white race (SOR = 2.28, 95% CI = 1.93 - 2.70), the 35-44 year age group relative to the 25-34 year reference group (SOR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.31 - 1.76), and male sex (SOR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.17 - 1.51).

Conclusions:
This review highlights fatal and non-fatal prescription drug risk markers most frequently assessed in peer-reviewed and grey literature. There is a need to better understand modifiable risk markers and underlying reasons for drug misuse in order to inform interventions that may prevent future drug overdoses.

description: Let the domain under consideration be bounded. Under the suppositions of very weak Sobolev embeddings we prove that the  solutions of the Neumann problem for an elliptic, second order divergence operator are essentially bounded, if the right hand  sides are taken from the dual of a Sobolev space which is adapted to the above embedding.

description: We investigate the evolution of the gravitational potential in Rastall scalar field theories. In a single component model a consistent perturbation theory, formulated in the newtonian gauge, is possible only for $γ= 1$, which is the General Relativity limit. On the other hand, the addition of another canonical fluid component allows also to consider the case $γ\neq 1$.
