description: We have determined the mineralogical composition of dust in the Broad Absorption Line (BAL) quasar PG 2112+059 using mid-infrared spectroscopy obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope. From spectral fitting of the solid state features, we find evidence for Mg-rich amorphous silicates with olivine stoichiometry, as well as the first detection of corundum (Al_2O_3) and periclase (MgO) in quasars. This mixed composition provides the first direct evidence for a clumpy density structure of the grain forming region. The silicates in total encompass 56.5% of the identified dust mass, while corundum takes up 38 wt.%. Depending on the choice of continuum, a range of mass fractions is observed for periclase ranging from 2.7% in the most conservative case to 9% in a less constrained continuum. In addition, we identify a feature at 11.2 micron as the crystalline silicate forsterite, with only a minor contribution from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The 5% crystalline silicate fraction requires high temperatures such as those found in the immediate quasar environment in order to counteract rapid destruction from cosmic rays.

description: For beam energies from SPS to RHIC, the transverse energy per charged particle, $E_T/N_{\textrm{ch}}$, saturates at a value of approximately 0.8 GeV. A direct connection between this value and the freeze-out criterium $E/N \approx 1$ GeV for the primordial energy and particle number in the hadronic resonance gas model is established.

description: Superconductivity in the topological non-trivial Dirac semimetal PdTe$_2$ was recently shown to be type-I. We here report measurements of the relative magnetic penetration depth, $ Δλ$, on several single crystals using a high precision tunnel diode oscillator technique. The temperature variation $Δλ(T)$ follows an exponential function for $T/T_c < 0.4$, consistent with a fully-gapped superconducting state and weak or moderately coupling superconductivity. By fitting the data we extract a $λ(0)$-value of $\sim 500$~nm. The normalized superfluid density is in good agreement with the computed curve for a type-I superconductor with nonlocal electrodynamics. Small steps are observed in $Δλ(T)$, which possibly relates to a locally lower $T_c$ due to defects in the single crystalline sample. single crystalline sample.

description: Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) show evidence of different spectral shapes, light curves, duration, host galaxies and they explode within a wide redshift range. However, the most of them seems to follow very tight correlations among some observed quantities relating to their energetic. If true, these correlations have significant implications on burst physics, giving constraints on theoretical models. Moreover, several suggestions have been made to use these correlations in order to calibrate GRBs as standard candles and to constrain the cosmological parameters. We investigate the cosmological relation between low energy $α$ index in GRBs prompt spectra and the redshift $z$. We present a statistical analysis of the relation between the total isotropic energy $E_{iso}$ and the peak energy $E_p$ (also known as Amati relation) in GRBs spectra searching for possible functional biases. Possible implications on the $E_{iso}$ vs $E_p$ relation of the $α$ vs $(1+z)$ correlation are evaluated. We used MonteCarlo simulations and the boostrap method to evaluate how large are the effects of functional biases on the $E_{iso}$ vs $E_p$. We show that high values of the linear correlation coefficent, up to about 0.8, in the $E_{iso}$ vs $E_p$ relation are obtained for random generated samples of GRBs, confirming the relevance of functional biases. Astrophysical consequences from $E_{iso}$ vs $E_p$ relation are then to be revised after a more accurate and possibly bias free analysis.

description: The years 1950 to 1980 appear in retrospect as a period of above average growth for most by the world's market economies. More people in more countries experienced increases in their standards of living than at any time in recorded history. World trade expanded faster than world output, increasing the efficiency of the world economy. Improvements in technology that reduced costs of transport and communication played a role. Sufficient political stability to prevent a major war encouraged many countries to direct efforts toward growth and away from war and costly rivalries.
Soliton quantization and internal symmetry

description: We apply the method of collective coordinate quantization to a model of solitons in two spacetime dimensions with a global $U(1)$ symmetry. In particular we consider the dynamics of the charged states associated with rotational excitations of the soliton in the internal space and their interactions with the quanta of the background field (mesons). By solving a system of coupled saddle-point equations we effectively sum all tree-graphs contributing to the one-point Green's function of the meson field in the background of a rotating soliton. We find that the resulting one-point function evaluated between soliton states of definite $U(1)$ charge exhibits a pole on the meson mass shell and we extract the corresponding S-matrix element for the decay of an excited state via the emission of a single meson using the standard LSZ reduction formula. This S-matrix element has a natural interpretation in terms of an effective Lagrangian for the charged soliton states with an explicit Yukawa coupling to the meson field. We calculate the leading-order semi-classical decay width of the excited soliton states discuss the consequences of these results for the hadronic decay of the $Δ$ resonance in the Skyrme model.

description: Miniaturized mechanical resonators have proven to be excellent force sensors. However, they usually rely on resonant sensing schemes, and their excellent performance cannot be utilized for the detection of static forces. Here, we report on a novel static-force sensing scheme and demonstrate it using optically levitated nanoparticles in vacuum. Our technique relies on an off-resonant interaction of the particle with a weak static force, and a resonant read-out of the displacement caused by this interaction. We demonstrate a force sensitivity of $10\,\mathrm{aN}$ to static gravitational and electric forces acting on the particle. Our work not only provides a tool for the closer investigation of short-range forces, but also marks an important step towards the realization of matter-wave interferometry with macroscopic objects.

description: The prevalent affirmative action policy in school choice limits the number of admitted majority students to give minority students higher chances to attend their desired schools. There have been numerous efforts to reconcile affirmative action policies with celebrated matching mechanisms such as the deferred acceptance and top trading cycles algorithms. Nevertheless, it is theoretically shown that under these algorithms, the policy based on majority quotas may be detrimental to minorities. Using simulations we find that this is a more common phenomenon rather than a peculiarity. To circumvent the inefficiency caused by majority quotas, we offer a different interpretation of the affirmative action policies based on minority reserves. With minority reserves, schools give higher priority to minority students up to the point that the minorities fill the reserves. We compare the welfare effects of these policies. The deferred acceptance algorithm with minority reserves Pareto dominates the one with majority quotas. Our simulations, which allows for correlations between student preferences and school priorities, indicate that minorities are on average better off with minority reserves while adverse effects on majorities are mitigated.

description: We find a novel phenomenon induced by the interplay between a strong magnetic field and finite orbital angular momenta in hadronic systems, which is analogous to the Paschen-Back effect observed in the field of atomic physics. This effect allows the wave functions to drastically deform. We discuss anisotropic decay from the deformation as a possibility to measure the strength of the magnetic field in heavy-ion collision at LHC, RHIC and SPS, which has not experimentally been measured. As an example we investigate charmonia with a finite orbital angular momentum in a strong magnetic field. We calculate the mass spectra and mixing rates. To obtain anisotropic wave functions, we apply the cylindrical Gaussian expansion method, where the Gaussian bases to expand the wave functions have different widths along transverse and longitudinal directions in the cylindrical coordinate.

Their consistency and their asymptotic normality are established. Kernel estimators of the noise's density and its derivatives are defined and shown to be uniformly consistent. A simulation experiment conducted shows that the estimators perform well for large sample size.

description: Daily counts of non-accidental deaths in Santiago, Chile, from 1988 to 1996 were regressed on six air pollutants— fine particles (PM2.5), coarse particles (PM10–2.5), CO, SO2, NO2, and O3. Controlling for seasonal and meteorological conditions was done using three different models— a generalized linear model, a generalized additive model, and a generalized additive model on previously filtered data. Single- and two-pollutant models were tested for lags of 1-5 days and the average of the previous 2-5 days. The increase in mortality associated with the mean levels of air pollution varied from 4 to 11%, depending on the pollutants and the way season of the year was considered. The results were not sensitive to the modeling approaches, but different effects for warmer and colder months were found. Fine particles were more important than coarse particles in the whole year and in winter, but not in summer. NO2 and CO were also significantly associated with daily mortality, as was O3 in the warmer months. No consistent effect was observed for SO2. Given particle composition in Santiago, these results suggest that combustion-generated pollutants, especially from motor vehicles, may be associated with increased mortality. Temperature was closely associated with mortality. High temperatures led to deaths on the same day, while low temperatures lead to deaths from 1 to 4 days later.

description: Spin resonance in the superconducting state of Fe-based materials within the multiorbital model with unequal anisotropic gaps on different Fermi surface sheets is studied. On the basis of the model gap function and the one calculated within the spin fluctuation theory of pairing, I show that the resonance peak shifts to higher frequencies with increasing the zero-amplitude gap magnitude. On the contrary, with increasing the gap anisotropy, it shifts to lower frequencies and lose some intensity.

description: The Quantum Cosmology can be understand as the theory of an one object that is the Universe described in terms of fundamental mass groundstate of the free boson string, that is a tachyon - a hypothetical particle with negative mass square, which has linear velocity more than the velocity of light c. From this fact it is clear that whole information about physics of our Universe is focused on studying of this untypical particle physics. In this paper this point of view is touched up on. As the general-relativistic model of our Universe we study the Einstein-Friedmann Spacetime. Firstly, the way of canonical quantization beginning from first quantization of the Dirac Hamiltonian constraints up to the second quantization by the Von Neumann-Araki-Woods quantization in the Fock space is briefly discussed. We show that using of the Bogoliubov-Heinsenberg static operator basis leads to formulation of the second quantization of the considered free boson string in terms of the monodromy in the Fock space. Finally, we propose some specific model of the Universe - the extremal tachyon mass model, and in frames of its the Hubble evolution parameter, the equation of state for Dark Matter in the Universe, and the temperature of our Universe are concluded.

description: A group of economists, including several who have served as advisers to the Nixon administration, criticized the government's decision to freeze wages and prices. Price and wage controls cannot and will not prevent inflation. For a time, controls hide the effect of inflation from the public and mislead many into believing that something useful has been done. This is an illusion, and the government is playing on the illusion in disregard of its own previous, correct statements.

description: An alternative perturbative expansion in quantum mechanics which allows a full expression of the scaling arbitrariness is introduced. This expansion is examined in the case of the anharmonic oscillator and is conveniently resummed using a method which consists in introducing an energy cut-off that is carefully removed as the order of the expansion is increased. We illustrate this technique numerically by computing the asymptotic behavior of the ground state energy of the anharmonic oscillator for large couplings, and show how the exploitation of the scaling arbitrariness substantially improves the convergence of this perturbative expansion.

Subjects: subject: 110904 Neurology and Neuromuscular Diseases
subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: Introduction: There is a high prevalence of Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) in the Republic of Ireland and ABI can result in a range of physical, cognitive and communicative issues. Post ABI patients frequently go through the inpatient rehabilitation process to help to remediate these impairments. Current research advocates the involvement of family members in the rehabilitation process and further research is needed to expand on what this involvement entails and how to best facilitate this. This study sought to explore therapists’ perceptions of this process of involving family members in the neurorehabilitation process.   Aim: To explore therapists’ perceptions of facilitating family involvement in neurorehabilitation.   Objectives: ● To explore therapists’ perceptions of the benefits and limitations to family involvement in the neurorehabilitation process post brain injury ● To explore the potential enablers and barriers to successfully involving family members in neurorehabilitation. ● To identify strategies used by therapists to involve families in the neurorehabilitation process.   Method: Qualitative design was employed in the form of semi-structured interviews with nine neurorehabilitation therapists working in the Republic of Ireland (RoI). Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data collected from the interview process. Conclusion: Therapists perceived the process of involving families positively and all actively employed strategies to try to help the process of involving families in neurorehabilitation. Implications: Further quantitative research to examine the effect of family involvement on patient and family outcomes would be beneficial. Further investigation on how best to incorporate training on how to facilitate family involvement into rehabilitation professionals training would help to support clinicians with the process.

description: The Monoceros Ring (also known as the Galactic Anticenter Stellar Structure) and A13 are stellar overdensities at estimated heliocentric distances of $d \sim 11$ kpc and 15 kpc observed at low Galactic latitudes towards the anticenter of our Galaxy. While these overdensities were initially thought to be remnants of a tidally-disrupted satellite galaxy, an alternate scenario is that they are composed of stars from the Milky Way (MW) disk kicked out to their current location due to interactions between a satellite galaxy and the disk. To test this scenario, we study the stellar populations of the Monoceros Ring and A13 by measuring the number of RR Lyrae and M giant stars associated with these overdensities. We obtain low-resolution spectroscopy for RR Lyrae stars in the two structures and measure radial velocities to compare with previously measured velocities for M giant stars in the regions of the Monoceros Ring and A13, to assess the fraction of RR Lyrae to M giant stars ($f_{RR:MG}$) in A13 and Mon/GASS. We perform velocity modeling on 153 RR Lyrae stars (116 in the Monoceros Ring and 37 in A13) and find that both structures have very low $f_{RR:MG}$. The results support a scenario in which stars in A13 and Mon/GASS formed in the MW disk. We discuss a possible association between Mon/GASS, A13, and the Triangulum-Andromeda overdensity based on their similar velocity distributions and $f_{RR:MG}$.

description: Clinical Pathways (CP) are medical management plans developed to standardize patient treatment activities, optimize resource usage, reduce expenses, and improve the quality of healthcare services. Most CPs currently in use are paper-based documents (i.e., not computerized). CP computerization has been an active research topic since the inception of CP use in hospitals. This literature review research aims to examine studies that focused on CP computerization and offers recommendations for future research in this important research area. Some critical research suggestions include centralizing computerized CPs in Healthcare Information Systems (HIS), CP term standardization using international medical terminology systems, developing a global CP-specific digital coding system, creating a unified CP meta-ontology, developing independent Clinical Pathway Management Systems (CPMS), and supporting CPMSs with machine learning sub-systems.

description: This paper proposes a class of well-conditioned neural networks in which a unit amount of change in the inputs causes at most a unit amount of change in the outputs or any of the internal layers. We develop the known methodology of controlling Lipschitz constants to realize its full potential in maximizing robustness, with a new regularization scheme for linear layers, new ways to adapt nonlinearities and a new loss function. With MNIST and CIFAR-10 classifiers, we demonstrate a number of advantages. Without needing any adversarial training, the proposed classifiers exceed the state of the art in robustness against white-box L2-bounded adversarial attacks. They generalize better than ordinary networks from noisy data with partially random labels. Their outputs are quantitatively meaningful and indicate levels of confidence and generalization, among other desirable properties.

description: In einer umfassenden Verbundstudie wurde auf der Datenbasis von 56 ökologisch wirtschaftenden Betrieben der Frage nachgegangen, auf welchem Niveau sich die Leistungsparameter, die bedarfsgerechte Nährstoffversorgung der Tiere, der Einsatz heimsicher Proteinträger, die Tierverluste sowie die ökonomische Situation befinden. Die Ergebnisse bestätigten die Annahme, dass das Leistungs- und Managementniveau sowie die kalkulierten Deckungsbeiträge der Geflügel- und Schweinehaltung zwischen den Betrieben erheblich variierten. Auch hinsichtlich der Zielsetzung einer bedarfsgerechten Versorgung der Tiere in den verschiedenen Entwicklungsphasen der Tiere (Verordnung (EU) 2018/848) bestanden zwischen den Betrieben erhebliche Unterschiede. Die Betriebe verfolgten sehr unterschiedliche Fütterungsstrategien und setzten vielfältige, teils selbsterzeugte, teils zugekaufte Futtermittel ein. Vielen betrieblich Verantwortlichen war der Status quo hinsichtlich der Nährstoffversorgung und Futterkosten nicht vollumfänglich bewusst. Es mangelte an kontinuierlich erfassten Daten, die - wenn vorhanden - nicht umfassend ausgewertet wurden. Auch fand weder eine ausreichende betriebsinterne noch eine externe Kontrolle der fütterungsrelevanten Vorgaben der EU-Öko-Verordnung statt. Ein zum Teil hohes Niveau bezüglich der Tierverluste deutet auf eine Überforderung der Anpassungsfähigkeit vieler Tiere hin und weist auf verschiedenen Ebenen (Kontrollstellen, Verbände, Beratung) einen Handlungsbedarf aus. Die Analyse der Status-quo-Situation auf den Praxisbetrieben zeigte oft ungenutze innerbetriebliche Wertschöpfungspotentiale auf, die mittels einzelbetrieblicher Maßnahmen des Fütterungsmanagements und -controllings sowie mit einem erhöhten Einsatz von einheimischen Proteinträgern erschlossen werden könnten.

description: We demonstrate how HQET and the Step Scaling Method for B-physics, pioneered by the Tor Vergata group, can be combined to reach a further improved precision. The observables considered are the mass of the b-quark and the B_s-meson decay constant. The demonstration is carried out in quenched lattice QCD. We start from a small volume, where one can use a standard O(a)-improved relativistic action for the b-quark, and compute two step scaling functions which relate the observables to the large volume ones. In all steps we extrapolate to the continuum limit, separately in HQET and in QCD for masses below m_b. The physical point m_b is then reached by an interpolation of the continuum results in 1/m. The essential, expected and verified, feature is that the step scaling fuctions have a weak mass-dependence resulting in an easy interpolation to the physical point. With r_0=0.5fm and the experimental B_s and K masses as input, we find F_Bs=191(6)MeV and the renormalization group invariant mass M_b=6.88(10)GeV, translating into m_b(m_b)=4.42(6)GeV in the MSbar scheme. This approach seems very promising for full QCD.

description: For a class of 2D hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite semiconductors based on $π$-conjugated organic cations, we predict quantitatively how varying the organic and inorganic component allows control over the nature, energy and localization of carrier states in a quantum-well-like fashion. Our first-principles predictions, based on large-scale hybrid density-functional theory with spin-orbit coupling, show that the interface between the organic and inorganic parts within a single hybrid can be modulated systematically, enabling us to select between different type-I and type-II energy level alignments. Energy levels, recombination properties and transport behavior of electrons and holes thus become tunable by choosing specific organic functionalizations and juxtaposing them with suitable inorganic components.
Effect of confinement potential shape on exchange interaction in coupled quantum dots

description: Exchange interaction has been studied for electrons in coupled quantum dots (QD's) by a configuration interaction method using confinement potentials with different profiles. The confinement potential has been parametrized by a two-centre power-exponential function, which allows us to investigate various types of QD's described by either soft or hard potentials of different range. For the soft (Gaussian) confinement potential the exchange energy decreases with increasing interdot distance due to the decreasing interdot tunnelling. For the hard (rectangular-like) confinement potential we have found a non-monotonic behaviour of the exchange interaction as a function of distance between the confinement potential centres. In this case, the exchange interaction energy exhibits a pronounced maximum for the confinement potential profile which corresponds to the nanostructure composed of the small inner QD with a deep potential well embedded in the large outer QD with a shallow potential well. This effect results from the strong localization of electrons in the inner QD, which leads to the large singlet-triplet splitting. Implications of this finding for quantum logic operations have been discussed.

CP-Violation in Bosonic Sector of SM with two Higgs Doublets

description: We investigate CP-violation effects in the bosonic sector of the Standard Model (SM) with two Higgs doublets. First we calculate the mass eigenstates of the physical neutral Higgses for small but nonzero CP-violation parameter $ξ_{\ast}$, and then a ``forward-backward'' asymmetry ${\cal A}_{fb}$ for the decay $H \to W^+W^-Z$ that would be a signal of CP-violation. Although the effects are in general small (${\cal A}_{fb} = Γ_{fb}/Γ\sim {\cal O}(10^{-3})$), ${\cal A}_{fb}$ turns out to be a rather clean signal of CP-violation, since neither the CP-conserving final state interactions nor the direct production background events contribute to $Γ_{fb}$. The process is a counterexample to the widespread belief that CP-violation processes must involve fermions. The CKM-type CP-violation effects that could in principle also contribute to ${\cal A}_{fb}$ are negligible. The nonzero ${\cal A}_{fb}$ could possibly be detected at some later stage in future colliders such as LHC or SSC.

description: We study the dynamics of expansion of the homogeneous isotropic Universe and the evolution of its components in the model with nonminimally coupled dynamical dark energy. Dark energy, like the other components of the Universe, is described by the perfect fluid approximation with the equation of state (EoS) $p_ {de}=wρ_{de}$, where the EoS parameter $w$ depends on time and is parameterized via the squared adiabatic sound speed $c_{ a}^2$ which is assumed to be constant. On basis of the general covariant conservation equations for the interacting dark energy and dark matter and Einstein equations in Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker metric we analyze the evolution of energy densities of the hidden components and the dynamics of expansion of the Universe with two types of interaction: proportional to the sum of densities of the hidden components and proportional to their product. For the first interaction the analytical expressions for the densities of dark energy and dark matter were obtained and analyzed in detail. For the second one the evolution of densities of hidden components of the Universe was analyzed on basis of the numerical solutions of their energy-momentum conservation equations. For certain values of the parameters of these models the energy densities of dark components become negative. So to ensure that the densities are always positive we put constraints on the interaction parameter for both models.

description: The racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population is becoming increasingly more diverse. The 2010 U.S. Census reported a 29% increase in minority groups other than non-Hispanic Whites. In response to these changing demographics, healthcare organizations have struggled to keep pace with these trends in their hiring of a diverse staff. Healthcare leaders appear to be lagging in their efforts to make adequate changes to increase diversity in their organizations. What factors may be contributing to this inequity? One possible explanation is a limited knowledge of healthcare leaders regarding culture and diversity within the workplace. To this end, this study explores the individual cultural intelligence of clinical and non-clinical administrative healthcare leaders, while also shedding light on leadership perspectives of cultural metrics in the workplace. Initial conversations with university-based healthcare leaders shed light on the need to understand the value placed on creating a diverse teams and the role that cultural understanding plays in understanding and working with others who are different from ourselves.

description: We study the influence of three laser beams on the center of mass motion of cold atoms with internal energy levels in a tripod configuration. We show that similar to electrons in graphene the atomic motion can be equivalent to the dynamics of ultra-relativistic two-component Dirac fermions. We propose and analyze an experimental setup for observing such a quasi-relativistic motion of ultracold atoms. We demonstrate that the atoms can experience negative refraction and focussing by Veselago-type lenses. We also show how the chiral nature of the atomic motion manifests itself as an oscillation of the atomic internal state population which depends strongly on the direction of the center of mass motion. For certain directions an atom remains in its initial state, whereas for other directions the populations undergo oscillations between a pair of internal states.

Economies of Scale in Cash Balances Reconsidered

description: Renewed interest in the demand for money has resulted in the clarification of a number of issues and has focused attention more sharply on some others. One subject of dispute has been the existence of economies of scale in the demand function for money by business firms. A familiar version of the quantity theory of money, M = kY, suggests the absence of economies of scale. Our own approach, the wealth adjustment model, reaches a very similar conclusion. It implies that — to a first approximation — the demand for money estimated from cross-sections of business firms is linear in the logarithms and unit elastic with respect to sales or transactions. This proposition is supported by a substantial body of evidence from cross-section and time series regressions.

description: The environmental effects of energy production and use have been studied for more than two decades. Most studies have focussed on identifying and quantifying the effects, without trying to ascribe a dollar value to them ( 1-8). A few studies have assigned monetary values to the effects (9, 10) . Interest in the area has increased rapidly in the 1990s , due in part to concern about global climate change and using market mechanisms to improve environmental quality (11) .

description: Using the idea of the penguin box expansion we find an analytic expression for epsilon'/epsilon in the Standard Model as a function of m_t, m_s(m_c) and two non-perturbative parameters B_6 and B_8. This formula includes next-to-leading QCD/QED short distance effects calculated recently by means of the operator product expansion and renormalization group techniques. We also derive an analytic expression for the upper bound on epsilon'/epsilon as a function of |V_cb|, |V_ub/V_cb|, B_K and other relevant parameters. Numerical examples of the bound are given.

description: We have detected 523 sources in a survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) Wing with Chandra. By cross-correlating the X-ray data with optical and near-infrared catalogues we have found 300 matches. Using a technique that combines X-ray colours and X-ray to optical flux ratios we have been able to assign preliminary classifications to 265 of the objects. Our identifications include four pulsars, one high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) candidate, 34 stars and 185 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In addition, we have classified 32 sources as 'hard' AGNs which are likely absorbed by local gas and dust, and nine 'soft' AGNs whose nature is still unclear. Considering the abundance of HMXBs discovered so far in the Bar of the SMC the number that we have detected in the Wing is low.
