description: To investigate the relationship between the pseudogap and superconductivity, we measured both the in-plane ($ρ_{ab}$) and out-of-plane ($ρ_c$) resistivity for oxygen-controlled Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+δ}$ single crystals subject to magnetic fields (parallel to the $c$ axis) of up to 17.5 T. The onset temperature for the superconductive fluctuation, $T_{scf}$, is determined by the large positive in-plane magnetoresistance (MR) and negative out-of-plane MR observed near $T_c$, whereas the pseudogap opening temperature $T^*$ is determined by the semiconductive upturn of the zero-field $ρ_c$. $T_{scf}$ was found to scale roughly as $T_c$, with a decreasing temperature interval between them upon doping. On the other hand, $T^*$ starts out much higher than $T_{scf}$ but decreases monotonically upon doping; finally, at a heavily overdoped state, it is not observed above $T_{scf}$. These results imply that the pseudogap is not a simple precursor of superconductivity, but that further study is needed to determine whether or not $T^*$ exists below $T_{scf}$ in the heavily overdoped state.

description: Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can induce spin polarization in nonmagnetic 3D crystals when the inversion symmetry is broken, as manifested by the bulk Rashba (R-1) and Dresselhaus (D-1) effects. We determine that these spin polarization effects originate fundamentally from specific atomic site asymmetries, rather than from the generally accepted asymmetry of the crystal space-group. This understanding leads to the recognition that a previously overlooked hidden form of spin polarization should exist in centrosymmetric materials. Although all energy bands must be doubly degenerate in centrosymmetric materials, we find that the two components of such doubly degenerate bands could have opposite polarizations each spatially localized on one of the two separate sectors forming the inversion partners. We demonstrate such hidden spin polarizations in centrosymmetric crystals (denoted as R-2 and D-2) by first-principles calculations. This new understanding could considerably broaden the range of currently useful spintronic materials and enable control of spin polarization via operations on atomic scale.

description: A água é essencial à vida. Sem ela, nosso planeta seria um imenso deserto sem bichos ou plantas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi oferecer um conjunto de informações sobre a água, mostrando sua história e a importância para a vida da humanidade e dos seres vivos, criando um momento de reflexão, análise, conscientização e elaboração de medidas práticas para que esse bem natural tão indispensável à vida fosse utilizada de forma responsável. Devida a grande parte das fontes estar sendo contaminada, poluída e degradada pela ação predatória do homem, foi trabalhada uma mudança atitudinal sobre esta temática para a preservação e economia deste bem natural. Na busca de soluções os alunos da educação infantil e ensino Fundamental da Escola Municipal São Domingos dos Olhos D’água buscaram através da dramatização as relações que possibilita analisar, entender e explicar os acontecimentos, bem como, analisar o papel da água no desenvolvimento da humanidade, incentivando assim os educandos a interagirem com a comunidade rural na busca de soluções para seus problemas. O desenvolvimento deste permitiu aos alunos tentarem chegar aos resultados levantando suas próprias hipóteses e indagações, alcançando o aprendizado de forma interdisciplinar voltado para a prática do dia-a-dia.

description: Most symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections produce mild to moderate symptoms. Although most patients are managed in the outpatient setting, little is known about the effect of general practitioners’ (GP) management strategies on the outcomes of COVID-19 outpatients in Italy. Describe the management of Italian GPs of SARS-CoV-2 infected adult patients and explore whether GP active care and monitoring are associated with reducing hospitalisation and death. Retrospective observational study of SARS-CoV-2 infected adult outpatients managed by GPs in Modena (Italy) from March 2020 to April 2021. Information on management and monitoring strategies, patients’ socio-demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and outcomes (hospitalisation and death due to COVID-19) were retrieved through an electronic medical record review and analysed descriptively and through multiple logistic regression. Out of the 5340 patients from 46 GPs included in the study, 3014 (56%) received remote monitoring, and 840 (16%) had at least one home visit. More than 85% of severe or critical patients were actively monitored (73% daily) and 52% were visited at home. Changes over time in patients’ therapeutic management were observed in concordance with the guidelines’ release. Active daily remote monitoring and home visits were strongly associated with reduced hospitalisation rate (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.33–0.80 and OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.33–0.78 respectively). GPs effectively managed an increasing number of outpatients during the first waves of the pandemic. Active monitoring and home visits were associated with reduced hospitalisation in COVID-19 outpatients.

description: In an article in 2007, Mishra, Pai, and Das [Phys. Rev. A 76, 013604 (2007)] investigated the two-component Bose-Hubbard model using the numerical DMRG procedure. In the regime of inter-species repulsion $U^{ab}$ larger than the intra-species repulsion $U$, they found a transition from a uniform miscible phase to phase-separation occurring at a finite value of $U$ , e.g., at around $U = 1.3$ for $Δ= U^{ab}/U = 1.05$ and $ρ_{a} = ρ_{b} = 1/2$. In this comment, we show that this result is not correct and in fact the two-component Bose-Hubbard model is unstable to phase-separation for any $U^{ab} > U > 0$.

title: Studying the Effect of Sea-Level Rise on Infrastructure and Construction

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: Climate Central, a nonprofit research organization that aims to provide the public with relevant and reliable information on climate change, developed an interactive application called the Risk Finder tool that launched in October of 2013. This tool collects data from several federal agencies, including NOAA, FEMA, and the EPA, and allows users to research sea-level rise and climate change in their specific state. In an effort to provide a user-friendly platform, Dan Rizza at Climate Central tasked an introductory Technical and Scientific writing course at Old Dominion University with conducting usability testing on the Risk Finder tool. Usability testing is the evaluation of a product by representative users, and in this case, refers to residents of Hampton Roads testing the Risk Finder tool and assessing its advantages and disadvantages. The primary investigators of the study are Dr. Daniel Richards and Mrs. Megan McKittrick. Students from the ENGL 231C course are also contributing to the study. The undergraduate students in ENGL 231C, led by Megan McKittrick, used systematic sampling from the Polk directories in the Old Dominion library to create a list of possible participants. The students then addressed envelopes and filled them with the appropriate content to be sent out a few days later. When the chosen participants tested the Risk Finder tool, specific approaches such as “productive usability” and “talk-aloud protocol” were used. These approaches allowed participants to have open use of the website while they spoke their decisions aloud, and patterns in the choices were then recorded by investigators in order to improve the website. These patterns also gave insight into which sea-level, rise-related issues users are most interested in, such as health risks and destruction of property. Sea-level rise will impact the current infrastructure and the construction of new property on the coasts, which has the potential to lead to a decline in the local economy. The Risk Finder tool would be useful in conveying such data to both city planners and the public, which would hopefully lead to policy change in affected areas.

description: Quasars, the brightly glowing disks of material that can form around the super-massive black holes at the centres of large galaxies, are amongst the most luminous astronomical objects known and so can be seen at great distances. The most distant known quasars are seen as they were when the Universe was less than a billion years old (i.e., $\sim\!7%$ of its current age). Such distant quasars are, however, very rare, and so are difficult to distinguish from the billions of other comparably-bright sources in the night sky. In searching for the most distant quasars in a recent astronomical sky survey (the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey, UKIDSS), there were $\sim\!10^3$ apparently plausible candidates for each expected quasar, far too many to reobserve with other telescopes. The solution to this problem was to apply Bayesian model comparison, making models of the quasar population and the dominant contaminating population (Galactic stars) to utilise the information content in the survey measurements. The result was an extremely efficient selection procedure that was used to quickly identify the most promising UKIDSS candidates, one of which was subsequently confirmed as the most distant quasar known to date.

description: The planar interface of an ordinary, isotropic, homogeneous, dielectric material and a hyperbolic, dielectric, structurally chiral material can support the propagation of one or multiple Dyakonov-Tamm waves, at a specified frequency and along a specified direction in the interface plane. When multiple Dyakonov-Tamm waves can exist, they differ in phase speed, propagation length, degree of localization to the interface, and spatial profiles of the associated electromagnetic fields. Dependence on the relative permittivity scalar of the isotropic partnering material suggests exploitation for optical sensing of analytes.

description: Title: Vladimir Nabokov?s Russian short stories (1921-1942): The game between real and supernatural in short fiction. (Italian title: I racconti in lingua russa di Vladimir Nabokov (1921-1942): il gioco tra reale e soprannaturale nella forma breve). In this Ph.D. research project, I examined several short stories written by Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977). I focused my attention on the relationship between the real and the supernatural and examined how such a relationship evolved over the years. My research aims to highlight how Nabokov introduced innovations in the European literary tradition with his supernatural short fiction. The core of Nabokov?s first short stories is a binary opposition between something that can be described as real (or realistic), and something that belongs to the realm of the fantastic. The dynamic tension between the real and the supernatural allows Nabokov to renew the European and Russian tradition of ?novellas? and supernatural tales. Gradually, Nabokov phased out the fantastic elements and focused on the inner life of the characters that he unveiled through a series of epiphanic moments. The evolution of Nabokov?s short fiction reflects the crisis of the artistic representation experienced by the European intellectuals at the beginning of the 20th century. Nabokov experimented with different kinds of narratives forms to examine the condition of the Russian immigrants and how they relied on imagination and memory to deal with the pain of exile. In this regard, he underscores that only the act of remembering can give new life to the lost past thus conferring dignity to the troublesome present life. The first chapter starts with an overview of numerous studies on short fiction to determine what a ?short story? actually is. I then examine the definition of ?real? and ?supernatural? as well as the most significant scholars? interpretations of Nabokov?s short stories. Subsequently, I investigate the social, cultural, and historical background of Nabokov?s stories. Finally, I present a chronological list of the stories examined in the thesis. In the second chapter, I carry out the analysis of the short stories I selected for my research. Most of the stories are characterized by the presence of fantastic and supernatural elements. I divided the stories into five different sections, each dedicated to a specific type of supernatural. In this chapter, I examine the different interpretations that have been offered by Nabokov scholars and I provide a new understanding of the evolution of Nabokov?s narrative. In the third chapter, I analyze the relationship among the different short stories to draw a hermeneutic map of the transformations of the narrative core and the themes of the stories. In the conclusion, I outline the main insights of my research.

description: We aim to explore spectral signatures of the predicted multi-ion AGN UFOs in the
 broadband X-ray spectra by exploiting an accretion disk wind model in the context of a
 simple magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) framework. We are focused primarily on
 examining the spectral dependences on a number of key physical properties of active
 galactic nuclei (AGNs); i.e. (1) inclination, (2) X-ray photon index, (3) optical/UV-to-
 X-ray strength, (4) wind density gradient along a line of sight, (5) wind density
 normalization and (6) Eddington ratio. Considering primarily radio-quiet Seyferts and
 quasars, multi-ion UFO spectra are systematically calculated as a function of these
 parameters to show that MHD-driven UFOs are likely to imprint a unique asymmetric
 absorption line profile with a pronounced blue tail structure on average. Such a "tell-
 tale" line signature, being almost generic to MHD disk winds due to the intrinsic wind
 kinematics, might be utilized as a diagnostic proxy to potentially differentiate leading
 driving processes among thermally-driven, UV line-driven and MHD-driven scenarios.
 We also demonstrate a high fidelity of microcalorimeter observations in anticipation of
 the upcoming XRISM/Resolve and Athena/X-IFU data by performing spectral
 simulations.

description: Most COVID-19 patients were treated in primary health care (PHC) in Europe. To demonstrate the scope of PHC workflow during the COVID-19 pandemic emphasising similarities and differences of patient’s clinical pathways in Europe. Descriptive, cross-sectional study with data acquired through a semi-structured questionnaire in PHC in 30 European countries, created ad hoc and agreed upon among all researchers who participated in the study. GPs from each country answered the approved questionnaire. Main variable: PHC COVID-19 acute clinical pathway. All variables were collected from each country as of September 2020. COVID-19 clinics in PHC facilities were organised in 8/30. Case detection and testing were performed in PHC in 27/30 countries. RT-PCR and lateral flow tests were performed in PHC in 23/30, free of charge with a medical prescription. Contact tracing was performed mainly by public health authorities. Mandatory isolation ranged from 5 to 14 days. Sick leave certification was given exclusively by GPs in 21/30 countries. Patient hotels or other resources to isolate patients were available in 12/30. Follow-up to monitor the symptoms and/or new complementary tests was made mainly by phone call (27/30). Chest X-ray and phlebotomy were performed in PHC in 18/30 and 23/30 countries, respectively. Oxygen and low-molecular-weight heparin were available in PHC (21/30). In Europe PHC participated in many steps to diagnose, treat and monitor COVID-19 patients. Differences among countries might be addressed at European level for the management of future pandemics.

description: Introdução: O consumo de álcool entre os jovens é um problema grave e muito prevalente, associando-se a comportamentos de risco, danos cerebrais, problemas de aprendizagem e dependência na idade adulta. Têm sido desenhadas e implementadas medidas preventivas, no entanto é necessário avaliar a sua eficácia. Nesse contexto, efetuamos este estudo que tem como objetivo: descrever a evolução do consumo de bebidas alcoólicas em adolescentes portugueses escolarizados entre 1995 e 2011 e avaliar a eficácia das medidas preventivas implementadas.

Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, com recurso a dados de fontes secundárias. Para caraterizar a evolução do consumo de álcool em adolescentes portugueses recorreu-se aos dados dos relatórios do Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC), efetuados entre 1998 e 2010, para os 11, 13 e 15 anos de idade, e aos relatórios do European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD), efetuados entre 1995 e 2011, com jovens com idade média de 16 anos.

Resultados: Os dados dos relatórios do HBSC demonstram que entre 1998 e 2010, o consumo semanal, aos 15 anos, decresceu de 29% para 12% nos rapazes e de 9% para 6% nas raparigas. A análise dos relatórios do ESPAD demonstra que a prevalência do consumo, nos 30 dias que precederam o inquérito, aumentou dois pontos percentuais no sexo masculino entre 1995 (54%) e 2011 (56%) e, no sexo feminino, aumentou de 45% em 1995 para 50% em 2011. Entre 1995 e 2011, a prevalência de "binge drinking", nos últimos 30 dias, aumentou de 11% para 19% nas raparigas e de 18% para 27% nos rapazes.

Conclusão: Parece existir uma tendência decrescente na prevalência do consumo de álcool em ambos os sexos, aos 15 anos, mas um aumento em adolescentes do sexo feminino de 16 anos. À semelhança de outros países da União Europeia, o consumo de várias bebidas alcoólicas na mesma ocasião ("binge drinking") está a aumentar de forma apreciável em ambos os sexos. Face à gravidade deste comportamento é urgente tomar medidas preventivas, sobretudo na escola, com vista ao seu controlo.

description: Retrieving valid numerical estimates for positional stances toward politics has always been challenging in many disciplines. While social science has long used surveys and content analysis to this end, some methods try to scale positions from textual data automatedly. As one of these, the idea of representing words in a geometric space has been rediscovered.
 Generating valid estimates from textual data would save countless hours of coding. Connectedly, valid automation of such estimation would significantly increase the visible universe of analyzable textual data. It would also enable researchers to get fine-grained numerical values, perform algebraic calculations with them, and help standardize text as data usage across studies.

Una taxonomía para facilitar la enseñanza explícita de la naturaleza de la ciencia y su integración en el desarrollo del currículo de ciencias

description: Se parte de la visión de consenso sobre la enseñanza de la naturaleza de la ciencia y la tecnología (NdCyT), presentando sus aspectos básicos y las controversias todavía pendientes. Se presentan y revisan las principales concepciones de consenso seleccionadas de la literatura, con atención tanto a las ideas adecuadas como a las ingenuas o mitos. La visión de consenso sobre NdCyT es global, relacional, compleja y dialéctica, rasgos que la hacen poco apropiada y disuasoria para muchos educadores, de modo que el desarrollo curricular de la enseñanza en aula explícita y efectiva constituye un reto. Para afrontarlo, este estudio plantea proveer a los educadores de instrumentos taxonómicos útiles para planificar en el aula con seguridad la enseñanza explícita y la evaluación de temas de NdCyT. Se exponen diversas taxonomías y se comparan dos de ellas, cuyas coincidencias ratifican su funcionalidad y avalan su uso para organizar y sistematizar los complejos y diversos temas curriculares de NdCyT. La taxonomía denominada VOSTS-COCTS puede resultar más apropiada y asequible a los profesores no especialistas, porque sus dimensiones y categorías son más detalladas y obedecen una lógica menos técnica y académica, rasgos que pueden hacerla más funcional y comprensible para los profesores no especialistas. Se presentan dos aplicaciones del uso de la taxonomía VOSTS-COCTS para organizar las concepciones adecuadas e ingenuas sobre NdCyT: una clasificación de los elementos de la segunda taxonomía comparada y otro sobre la clasificación de las concepciones más extendidas de la visión de consenso.

description: In manufacturers’ trials, vaccination against COVID-19 proved to be safe and effective. The officially reported frequency of vaccine adverse events (VAEs) in Poland is lower than that declared by the manufacturers. The anti-vaccination activists questioned the trustworthiness of official data. The aim was to explore the real-life prevalence of VAEs in general practice settings and the factors that may influence it. In this pragmatic, mixed prospective and retrospective study, patients vaccinated against COVID-19 between May and October 2021 in three GP practices in Krakow, Poland, were enrolled. Their demographic (age, sex, level of education) and clinical data (weight and height, smoking status, history of allergies, COVID-19 and chronic diseases) were collected. Then, they were interviewed about VAEs they experienced. Out of 1530 patients invited to participate, 1051 (69%) agreed and were eligible for analyses. Only 8.8% did not report any VAE. Pain at the injection site was the most frequently reported reaction (800, 76.2%). The most prevalent systemic ones were excessive fatigue/lethargy (527, 50.6%), sleep/circadian rhythm disturbances (433, 41.6%) and headache (399, 38.3%). Fifty required medical assistance − 39 experienced presyncope (3.7%) and 11 loss of consciousness (1.1%). Only two others were hospitalised. Females, younger adults, those with higher education and with a history of COVID-19 reported systemic VAEs more frequently, while those who were older and obese were less likely to report local reactions. Although more than 90% of patients vaccinated against COVID-19 in general practice settings may experience VAEs, in short-term observation, the vast majority are localised and mild.

description: We use photometry from the recent AllWISE Data Release of the Wide-field In-frared Survey Explorer (WISE) of 129 calibration stars, combined with prior distances obtained from the established $M_V-$[Fe/H] relation and Hubble Space Telescope trigonometric parallax, to derive mid-infrared period--luminosity relations for RR Lyrae pulsating variable stars. We derive relations in the W1, W2, and W3 wavebands (3.4, 4.6, and 12 μm, respectively), and for each of the two main RR Lyrae sub-types (RRab and RRc). We report an error on the period--luminosity relation slope for RRab stars of 0.2. We also fit posterior distances for the calibration catalog and find a median fractional distance error of 0.8 per cent.

description: All over the globe, the negative impacts of climate change and sea level rise have garnered the attention of prominent researchers and the press alike. Previous research on sea level rise and climate change in Hampton Roads has concluded that this region is one of the most vulnerable areas of land in the United States ("Initiative for Coastal Climate Change Research"). The geographical proximity of the numerous bodies of water found in and around Hampton Roads and the low elevation leads scientists to believe that this area will experience the repercussions of climate change and sea level rise first ("Initiative for Coastal Climate Change Research").
Strong monogamies of no-signaling violations for bipartite correlation Bell inequalities

description: The phenomenon of monogamy of Bell inequality violations is interesting both from the fundamental perspective as well as in cryptographic applications such as the extraction of randomness and secret bits. In this article, we derive new and stronger monogamy relations for violations of Bell inequalities in general no-signaling theories. These relations are applicable to the class of binary output correlation inequalities known as XOR games, and to a restricted set of unique games. In many instances of interest, we show that the derived relation provides a significant strengthening over previously known results. The result involves a shift in paradigm towards the importance in monogamies of the number of inputs of one party which lead to a contradiction from local realistic predictions.

description: Inclusive charged hadron cross sections, $dσ/dη$, and the mean transverse momenta, $$, are considered within the two component model, which combines the power-like and the exponential terms in $p_T$. The observed dependences of the spectra shape on energy and the event multiplicity qualitatively agree with that expected from the Regge theory with the perturbative QCD pomeron. Finally, the dependences observed are used to make predictions on the mean transverse momenta, $$ as function of multiplicity at LHC-energies, which are tested on available experimental data.

Identification of novel active Cas9 orthologs from metagenomic data

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2022

description: CRISPR-Cas is the state-of-the-art biological tool that allows precise and fast manipulation of the genetic information of cellular genomes. The translation of the CRISPR-Cas technology from in vitro studies into clinical applications highlighted a variety of limitations: the currently available systems are limited by their off-target activity, the availability of a Cas-specific PAM sequence next to the target and the size of the Cas protein. In particular, despite high levels of activity, the size of the CRISPR-SpCas9 editing machinery is not compatible with an all-in-one AAV delivery system and the genomic sequences that can be targeted are limited by the 3-NGG PAM-dependency of the SpCas9 protein. To further expand the CRISPR tools repertoire we turned to metagenomic data of the human microbiome to search for uncharacterized CRISPR-Cas9 systems and we identified a set of novel small Cas9 orthologs derived from the analysis of reconstructed bacterial metagenomes. In this thesis study, ten candidates were chosen according to their size (less than 1100aa). The PAM preference of all the ten orthologs was established exploiting a bacterial-based and an in vitro platform. We demonstrated that three of them are active nucleases in human cells and two out of the three showed robust editing levels at endogenous loci, outperforming SpCas9 at particular targets. We expect these new variants to be very useful in expanding the available genome editing tools both in vitro and in vivo. Knock-out-based Cas9 applications are very efficient but many times a precise control of the repair outcome through HDR-mediated gene targeting is required. To address this issue, we also developed an MS2-based reporter platform to measure the frequency of HDR events and evaluate novel HDR-modulating factors. The platform was validated and could allow the screening of libraries of proteins to assess their influence on the HDR pathway.

description: Vector Fitting is a popular method of constructing rational approximants designed to fit given frequency response measurements. The original method, which we refer to as VF, is based on a least-squares fit to the measurements by a rational function, using an iterative reallocation of the poles of the approximant. We show that one can improve the performance of VF significantly, by using a particular choice of frequency sampling points and properly weighting their contribution based on quadrature rules that connect the least squares objective with an H2 error measure. Our modified approach, designated here as QuadVF, helps recover the original transfer function with better global fidelity (as measured with respect to the H2 norm), than the localized least squares approximation implicit in VF. We extend the new framework also to incorporate derivative information, leading to rational approximants that minimize system error with respect to a discrete Sobolev norm. We consider the convergence behavior of both VF and QuadVF as well, and evaluate potential numerical ill-conditioning of the underlying least-squares problems. We investigate briefly VF in the case of noisy measurements and propose a new formulation for the resulting approximation problem. Several numerical examples are provided to support the theoretical discussion.
