description: A theoretical dissertation and experimental assays of the irreversible phenomena applied to electrokinetics and inverse osmosis is presented. Experimental assays were made on simple equipment to evidence the occurrence of connected irreversible phenomena between electric current flow and global mass flow. The coupling of these two phenomena allowed us to make conclusions about the possibility of reducing operation costs of the inverse osmosis equipment due to increasing the saline solution flow between 12% and 20%.

description: Superconducting materials with a nontrivial band structure are potential candidates for topological superconductivity. Here, by combining muon-spin rotation and relaxation ($μ$SR) methods with theoretical calculations, we investigate the superconducting and topological properties of the rock-salt-type compounds NbC and TaC (with$T_c$ = 11.5 and 10.3 K, respectively). At a macroscopic level, the magnetization and heat-capacity measurements under applied magnetic field provide an upper critical field of 1.93 and 0.65 T for NbC and TaC, respectively. The low-temperature superfluid density, determined by transverse-field $μ$SR and electronic specific-heat data, suggest a fully-gapped superconducting state in both NbC and TaC, with a zero-temperature gap $Δ_0 = 1.90$ and 1.45 meV, and a magnetic penetration depth $λ_0$ = 141 and 77 nm, respectively. Band-structure calculations suggest that the density of states at the Fermi level is dominated by the Nb $4d$- (or Ta $5d$-) orbitals, which are strongly hybridized with the C $p$-orbitals to produce large cylinder-like Fermi surfaces, similar to those of high-$T_c$ iron-based superconductors. Without considering the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect, the first Brillouin zone contains three closed node lines in the bulk band structure, protected by time-reversal and space-inversion symmetry. When considering SOC, its effects in the NbC case appear rather modest. Therefore, the node lines may be preserved in NbC, hence proposing it as a potential topological superconductor.

description: We investigate the effects of pre-hydrodynamic evolution on final-state observables in heavy-ion collisions using state-of-the art event simulations coupled to different pre-hydrodynamic scenarios, which include the recently-developed effective kinetic transport theory evolution model KoMPoST. Flow observables are found to be insensitive to the details of pre-hydrodynamic evolution. The main effect we observe is in the $p_T$ spectra, particularly the mean transverse momentum. However, at least part of this effect is a consequence of the underlying conformal invariance assumption currently present in such approaches, which is known to be violated in the temperature regime probed in heavy-ion collisions. This assumption of early time conformal invariance leads to an artificially large out-of-equilibrium bulk pressure when switching from (conformal) pre-hydrodynamic evolution to hydrodynamics (using the non-conformal QCD equation of state), which in turn increases the transverse momentum. Our study indicates that a consistent treatment of pre-hydrodynamic evolution in heavy-ion collisions requires the use of non-conformal models of early time dynamics.

The candidates were selected from the SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) and SPY (ESO SN Ia progenitor survey), based on their Teff obtained from optical spectra fitting. This selection criterion yields the highest success rate of detecting new ZZ Cetis, above 90% in the Teff range from 12000 to 11000 K. We also report on a DA not observed to vary, with a Teff placing the star close to the blue edge of the instability strip. Among our new pulsators, one is a little bit cooler than this star for which pulsations were not detected. Our observations are an important constraint on the location of the blue edge of the ZZ Ceti instability strip.

How Schools ‘Do’ PREVENT: Investigating the Enactment of the PREVENT Duty in Secondary Schools in England
Creators: name: Lewis, James
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2021

description: This study draws on qualitative interviews with academics, local PREVENT practitioners, and educators to explore how the PREVENT Duty has been enacted in secondary schools in England. Adopting a novel multi-disciplinary approach that integrates Michel Foucault’s work on governmentality; Ball, Maguire and Braun’s work on policy enactment; and Priestley, Biesta and Robinson’s work on teacher agency, it argues that the local delivery of PREVENT is marked by ‘constrained creativity’ (Ball, Maguire & Braun, 2012). In doing so, it argues that local practitioners and educators have some agency to shape PREVENT work to the specific contexts in which they work, but that this agency is somewhat constrained by the demands of policy, and by the broader policy discourses of radicalisation and safeguarding that frame their everyday engagement with the strategy. Through this analysis, this thesis contributes to a growing body of scholarship that has injected much-needed empirical research into an academic literature around PREVENT that has traditionally been marked by a relative absence of empirical studies. It also attempts to bridge an epistemological gap that has emerged in that literature by presenting a more holistic analysis than currently exists of how the twin forces of agency and control intersect to shape PREVENT work in specific contexts. By making this original empirical and theoretical contribution, this thesis illustrates how multi-disciplinary approaches can advance existing knowledge around local PREVENT delivery, whilst helping to disrupt what has become an increasingly stale debate around the virtue of the strategy.

description: This research seeks to produce more robust, less biased estimates from the two-constraint recreation demand model by applying globally flexible estimation techniques to travel cost data for California whale watching trips. While locally flexible functional forms do improve upon previously used restrictive forms imposed for estimation of travel cost models, specification errors occur unless the chosen form happens to coincide with the true unknown underlying form. A globally flexible functional form can consistently approximate the true function and its derivatives for all points in the sample range. This paper seeks to reduce specification error and improve accuracy of estimates from the two-constraint recreation demand model by using a globally flexible functional form. The empirical model is based on a construction by Chalfant (1987), which combines Deaton and Muellbauer's AIDS model with the Fourier flexible form of Gallant. The resulting functional form preserves the aggregation properties of the PIGLOG class of preferences while approximating the true function within an arbitrary degree of precision. A comparison of model estimation results shows that the locally flexible AIDS model results in specification error. Further research of an extension of the model, which combines travel cost data with contingent valuation responses to hypothetical population enhancements, is briefly discussed.

description: This article provides a focused review of recent findings which demonstrate, in some cases quite counter-intuitively, the existence of bound states with a singularity of the density pattern at the center, while the states are physically meaningful because their total norm converges. One model of this type is based on the 2D Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) which combines the attractive potential ~ 1/r^2 and the quartic self-repulsive nonlinearity, induced by the Lee-Huang-Yang effect (quantum fluctuations around the mean-field state). The GPE demonstrates suppression of the 2D quantum collapse, driven by the attractive potential, and emergence of a stable ground state (GS), whose density features an integrable singularity ~1/r^{4/3} at r --> 0. Modes with embedded angular momentum exist too, and they have their stability regions. A counter-intuitive peculiarity of the model is that the GS exists even if the sign of the potential is reversed from attraction to repulsion, provided that its strength is small enough. This peculiarity finds a relevant explanation. The other model outlined in the review includes 1D, 2D, and 3D GPEs, with the septimal (seventh-order), quintic, and cubic self-repulsive terms, respectively. These equations give rise to stable singular solitons, which represent the GS for each dimension D, with the density singularity ~1/r^{2/(4-D). Such states may be considered as a result of screening of a "bare" delta-functional attractive potential by the respective nonlinearity.

Correlates and consequences of relationship-focused coping : a within-couples examination
Creators: name: O'Brien, Teresa Bird
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The primary objective of the study was to increase understanding of interpersonal dimensions of stress and coping within married couples. Using a diary methodology and a matched-pair hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analysis strategy, the study examined how stress and coping processes unfold over the course of a given day and across days within couples. The study investigated within-couple variation in daily stress, coping, coping efficacy, mood, and marital tension. Special emphasis was given to the examination of the correlates and consequences of empathic responding, a form of relationship focused coping. The results suggest that when relational outcomes are considered, empathic responding may represent an adaptive way of coping with everyday stress occurring within intimate contexts. Moreover, the study indicates that when greater personal significance is attached to a family stressor, husbands and wives tend to increase their use of empathic responding. The findings suggest that the examination of relationship-focused coping may add to the theoretical and explanatory power of current models of stress and coping. Also considered were the contextual effects of marital adjustment on how family stressors are experienced and managed by couples. The results document a link between marital adjustment and the use of empathic responding for both husbands and wives within couples. Further, the study suggests that marital adjustment plays an important role in determining whether the negative effects of stress will persist across days.

description: We analyze V, I and H band HST images and two seasons of R-band monitoring data for the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS0924+0219. We clearly see that image D is a point-source image of the quasar at the center of its host galaxy. We can easily track the host galaxy of the quasar close to image D because microlensing has provided a natural coronograph that suppresses the flux of the quasar image by roughly an order of magnitude. We observe low amplitude, uncorrelated variability between the four quasar images due to microlensing, but no correlated variations that could be used to measure a time delay. Monte Carlo models of the microlensing variability provide estimates of the mean stellar mass in the lens galaxy (0.02 Msun < M < 1.0 Msun), the accretion disk size (the disk temperature is 5 x 10^4 K at 3.0 x 10^14 cm < rs < 1.4 x 10^15 cm), and the black hole mass (2.0 x 10^7 Msun < MBH η_{0.1}^{-1/2} (L/LE)^{1/2} < 3.3 x 10^8 Msun), all at 68% confidence. The black hole mass estimate based on microlensing is consistent with an estimate of MBH = 7.3 +- 2.4 x 10^7 Msun from the MgII emission line width. If we extrapolate the best-fitting light curve models into the future, we expect the the flux of images A and B to remain relatively stable and images C and D to brighten. In particular, we estimate that image D has a roughly 12% probability of brightening by a factor of two during the next year and a 45% probability of brightening by an order of magnitude over the next decade.

description: The overwhelming foreground causes severe contamination on the detection of 21-cm signal during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). Among various foreground components, the Galactic free-free emission is less studied, so that its impact on the EoR observation remains unclear. To better constrain this emission, we perform the Monte Carlo simulation of H$α$ emission, which comprises direct and scattered H$α$ radiation from HII regions and warm ionized medium (WIM). The positions and radii of HII regions are quoted from the WISE HII catalog, and the WIM is described by an axisymmetric model. The scattering is off dust and free electrons that are realized by applying an exponential fitting to the HI4PI HI map and an exponential disk model, respectively. The simulated H$α$ intensity, the Simfast21 software, and the latest SKA1-Low layout configuration are employed to simulate the SKA "observed" images of Galactic free-free emission and the EoR signal. By analyzing the one-dimensional power spectra, we find that the Galactic free-free emission can be about $10^{5.4}$-$10^{2.1}$, $10^{5.0}$-$10^{1.7}$, and $10^{4.3}$-$10^{1.1}$ times more luminous than the EoR signal on scales of $0.1~{\rm Mpc^{-1}} < k < 2~{\rm Mpc^{-1}}$ in the 116-124, 146-154, and 186-194 MHz frequency bands, respectively. We further calculate the two-dimensional power spectra inside the EoR window and show that the power leaked by Galactic free-free emission can still be significant, as the power ratios can reach about $110\%$-$8000\%$, $30\%$-$2400\%$, and $10\%$-$250\%$ on scales of $0.5~{\rm Mpc^{-1}} \lesssim k \lesssim 1~{\rm Mpc^{-1}}$ in three frequency bands. Therefore, we indicate that the Galactic free-free emission should be carefully treated in future EoR detections.

description: Komplette pharmakologische Unterbrechung des Baroreflexes mittels eines Ganglienblockers führt zu einer starken Zunahme der Wirkung vasoaktiver Substanzen auf den Blutdruck. Eine ähnliche Überempfindlichkeit gegenüber vasoaktiven Substanzen ist auch bei Erkrankungen zu beobachten, die mit Schädigungen des afferenten oder des efferenten Schenkels des Baroreflexes einhergehen. Variabilität der Baroreflexfunktion innerhalb der Population trägt somit in erheblichem Umfang zur Variabilität des Ansprechens auf vasoaktive Substanzen bei. Durch Vergleich der Wirkung kreislaufwirksamer Substanzen oder physiologischer Interventionen vor und während Ganglienblockade können zentrale und periphere Effekte voneinander unterschieden werden. Mit dieser Methode können Änderungen der vaskulären Sensitivität und der Pufferfunktion des Baroreflexes bei Krankheitszuständen charakterisiert werden.
description: Complete pharmacological interruption of the baroreflex using ganglionic blockade is associated with a profound increase in the blood pressure response to vasoactive substances. Similar hypersensitivity to vasoactive substances can be observed in disorders that involve the afferent arc or the efferent arc of the baroreflex. Therefore, interindividual variability in baroreflex function contributes substantially to the variability in the responsiveness to vasoactive substances. Comparison of the response to cardiovascular medications before and during ganglionic blockade can be used to dissect central and peripheral effects. This approach is also useful to characterize changes in vascular sensitivity and in baroreflex buffering function in diseases.

Assuming a uniform Hall conductivity, we construct a Lyapunov functional and derive stability conditions on the domain structure of the photo-generated fields. We solve the resulting equations for a general one-dimensional and certain two-dimensional disorder potentials, and find non-zero conductances, photo-voltages, and circulating dissipative currents. In contrast, weak white noise disorder does not destroy the ZCS, but induces mesoscopic current fluctuations.

description: There is great interest in so-called nano-electronic devices due to the furious rate of device miniaturization. Fabrication of micro and nano scale resistors and capacitors have already been achieved steadily, but so far, there has been little development in the way of nano-scale coil inductors. This is because of the physical limitations in miniaturization of the design of a solenoid with wires coiled around a metallic core. So, while transistors get steadily smaller, basic inductors in electronics remained relatively bulky. Few methods exist for creating conductive polymer coils and graphene-based kinetic nano-inductors, but their large-scale fabrication process is complex and mostly beyond the current commercial technology available. So, a simpler, scalable, and robust fabrication technique is needed to overcome this bottleneck. In this work we demonstrate a new technique consisting of the laser lithography using a laser engraver of a (poly)vinyl alcohol (PVA)/graphene oxide film composite which results in a large inductive effect. We attribute this behavior to the formation of high curvature twisted screw dislocation type conductive pathways composed of polyacetylene chains linked by pi-pi interactions to reduced graphene oxide flakes resulting in inductive effect.
Understanding coordination in global software engineering: A mixed-methods study on the use of meetings and Slack

description: Given the relevance of coordination in the field of global software engineering, this work was carried out to further understand coordination mechanisms. Specifically, we investigated meetings and the collaboration tool Slack. We conducted a longitudinal case study using a mixed-methods approach with surveys, observations, interviews, and chat logs. Our quantitative results show that employees in global projects spend 7 hours 45 minutes per week on average in scheduled meetings and 8 hours 54 minutes in unscheduled meetings. Furthermore, distributed teams were significantly larger than co-located teams, and people working in distributed teams spent somewhat more time in meetings per day. We found that low availability of key people, absence of organizational support for unscheduled meetings and unbalanced activity from team members in meetings and on Slack were barriers for effective coordination across sites. The positive aspects of using collaboration tools in distributed teams were increased team awareness and informal communication and reduced the need for e-mail. Our study emphasizes the importance of reflecting on how global software engineering teams use meetings and collaboration tools to coordinate. We provide practical advice for conducting better meetings and give suggestions for more efficient use of collaboration tools in global projects.

description: Das Jahr 2000 wird oft als Meilenstein der Entwicklung der Humangenetik bezeichnet. Eine Relevanz für die praktische Medizin erlangt das Humangenom-Projekt jedoch erst, wenn die Funktion der einzelnen Gene in komplexen physiologischen Systemen und die genetische Variabilität aufgeklärt sind. Die hier vorgelegten Studien beruhen auf der Annahme, dass der Einfluss genetischer Variabilität nicht nur im Vergleich kranker und gesunder Menschen sichtbar wird, sondern auch in der Variabilität physiologischer Parameter in der Allgemeinbevölkerung nachweisbar ist. Grundlage aller Studien war eine medizinische Untersuchung von gesunden eineiigen und zweieiigen Zwillingspaaren. Es wurde für Kennwerte des Herz-Kreislauf-Systems die Stärke genetischer Einflüsse (Heritabilität) bestimmt. Weiterhin erfolgten Kopplungs- und Assoziationsanalysen mit ausgewählten Kandidatengenen. Der Einfluss spezifischer Gene auf die Blutdruckregulation, die Herzgröße, EKG-Parameter sowie Blutfette konnte nachgewiesen werden. Weiterhin wurde der prinzipielle Nachweis erbracht, dass die funktionelle Untersuchung einzelner Gene in unausgelesenen Stichproben realisierbar ist.
description: The year 2000 is often called a milestone in the history of human genetics. The knowledge of the sequence of the human genome will only become relevant for clinical medicine when the function of genes within complex physiological systems as well as the genetic variability will be revealed. The studies reported here are based on the assumption that the influence of genetic variability does not only become obvious by comparison of affected and unaffected subjects but is as well detectable in the variability of physiological parameters in the general population. All studies are based on testing healthy mono- and dizygotic twins. We determined the heritability of various cardiovascular parameters. Furthermore selected candidate genes were tested by linkage and association analyses. We could demonstrate the influence of specific genes on blood pressure regulation, heart size, ECG and lipids. These studies are a proof of principle for the functional analysis of single genes in unselected random samples.
Accuracy of traditional Legendre estimators of quadrupole ratios for the N to Delta transition

description: We evaluate the accuracy of traditional estimators often used to extract N to Delta quadrupole ratios from cross section angular distributions for pion electroproduction. We find that neither M1+ dominance nor sp truncation is sufficiently accurate for this purpose. Truncation errors are especially large for EMR, for which it is also essential to perform Rosenbluth separation. The accuracy of similar truncated Legendre analyses for E0+, S0+, and especially M1- is even worse.

description: We examine the young dairy futures market as a risk management tool. Using New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) data, we find that the BFP futures market is efficient and may potentially be a useful hedging tool. However, we also find that competition from Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) contracts has significant detrimental effects on the NYBOT dairy futures contracts. As a result NYBOT dairy futures contracts are likely to dry up.

description: We extend the δN formalism so that it gives all of the stochastic properties of the primordial curvature perturbation ζif the initial field perturbations are gaussian. The calculation requires only the knowledge of some family of unperturbed universes. A formula is given for the normalisation \fnl of the bispectrum of ζ, which is the main signal of non-gaussianity. Examples of the use of the formula are given, and its relation to cosmological perturbation theory is explained.

description: Autophagy (a process of cellular self-eating) is a conserved cellular degradative process that plays important roles in maintaining homeostasis and preventing nutritional, metabolic, and infection-mediated stresses. Surprisingly, little attention has been paid to the role of this cellular function in species of agronomical interest, and the details of how autophagy functions in the development of phenotypes of agricultural interest remain largely unexplored. Here, we first provide a brief description of the main mechanisms involved in autophagy, then review our current knowledge regarding autophagy in species of agronomical interest, with particular attention to physiological functions supporting livestock animal production, and finally assess the potential of translating the acquired knowledge to improve animal development, growth and health in the context of growing social, economic and environmental challenges for agriculture.

description: In this article we study stability aspects for the determination of time-dependent vector and scalar potentials in relativistic Schrödinger equation from partial knowledge of boundary measurements. For space dimensions strictly greater than 2 we obtain log-log stability estimates for the determination of vector potentials (modulo gauge equivalence) and log-log-log stability estimates for the determination of scalar potentials from partial boundary data assuming suitable a-priori bounds on these potentials.

Entropic Elasticity of Double-Strand DNA Subject to Simple Spatial Constraints

description: The aim of the present paper is the study of the entropic elasticity of the dsDNA molecule, having a cristallographic length L of the order of 10 to 30 persistence lengths A, when it is subject to spatial obstructions. We have not tried to obtain the single molecule partition function by solving a Schodringer-like equation. We prefer to stay within a discretized version of the WLC model with an added one-monomer potential, simulating the spatial constraints. We derived directly from the discretized Boltzmann formula the transfer matrix connecting the partition functions relative to adjacent "effective monomers". We have plugged adequate Dirac delta-functions in the functional integral to ensure that the monomer coordinate and the tangent vector are independent variables. The partition function is, then, given by an iterative process which is both numerically efficient and physically transparent. As a test of our discretized approach, we have studied two configurations involving a dsDNA molecule confined between a pair of parallel plates.
description: The most formal developments of Section I have been moved into an appendix and replaced by a direct derivation of the transfer matrix used in the applications. of Section II. Two paragraphs and two figures have been added to clarify the physical interpretation of the results
Non-Fermi liquid and pairing in electron-doped cuprates

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We study the normal state and pairing instability in electron-doped cuprates near optimal doping. We show that the fermionic self-energy has a non-Fermi liquid form leading to peculiar frequency dependencies of the conductivity and the Raman response. We solve the pairing problem and demonstrate that T_c is determined by the curvature of the Fermi surface, and the pairing gap Δ(k,ω) is strongly non-monotonic along the Fermi surface. The normal state frequency dependencies, the value of T_c\sim10K and the k-dependence of the gap agree with the experiment.

description: Let $p\in(0,1)$, $α:=1/p-1$ and, for any $τ\in [0,\infty)$, $Φ_{p}(τ):=τ/(1+τ^{1-p})$. Let $H^p(\mathbb R^n)$, $h^p(\mathbb R^n)$ and $Λ_{nα}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be, respectively, the Hardy space, the local Hardy space and the inhomogeneous Lipschitz space on $\mathbb{R}^n$. In this article, applying the inhomogeneous renormalization of wavelets, the authors establish a bilinear decomposition for multiplications of elements in $h^p(\mathbb R^n)$ [or $H^p(\mathbb R^n)$] and $Λ_{nα}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, and prove that these bilinear decompositions are sharp in some sense. As applications, the authors also obtain some estimates of the product of elements in the local Hardy space $h^p(\mathbb R^n)$ with $p\in(0,1]$ and its dual space, respectively, with zero $\lfloor nα\rfloor$-inhomogeneous curl and zero divergence, where $\lfloor nα\rfloor$ denotes the largest integer not greater than $nα$. Moreover, the authors find new structures of $h^{Φ_p}(\mathbb R^n)$ and $H^{Φ_p}(\mathbb R^n)$ by showing that $h^{Φ_p}(\mathbb R^n)=h^1(\mathbb R^n)+h^p(\mathbb R^n)$ and $H^{Φ_p}(\mathbb R^n)=H^1(\mathbb R^n)+H^p(\mathbb R^n)$ with equivalent quasi-norms, and also prove that the dual spaces of both $h^{Φ_p}(\mathbb R^n)$ and $h^p(\mathbb R^n)$ coincide. These results give a complete picture on the multiplication between the local Hardy space and its dual space.
