description: We consider a three-level quantum system interacting with a bosonic thermal reservoir. Two energy levels of the system are nearly degenerate but well separated from the third one. The system-reservoir interaction constant is larger than the energy difference of the degenerate levels, but it is smaller than the separation between the latter and the remaining level. We show that the quasi-degeneracy of energy levels leads to the existence of a manifold of quasi-stationary states, and the dynamics exhibits two characteristic time scales. On the first, shorter one, initial states approach the quasi-stationary manifold. Then, on the much longer second time scale, the final unique equilibrium is reached.

Modélisation du transfert hydrique dans les géomatériaux : Application à un tunnel en béton soumis à la fois au séchage et à une surpression de liquide
Creators: name: Rima, Aya
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2024

description: Les structures en béton peuvent passer par des cycles de séchage et de saturation au cours de leur vie. Dans des cas particuliers, tels que les tunnels, les barrages et les pieux, ce phénomène peut se produire fréquemment. Les cycles de séchage et de saturation doivent être pris en compte puisqu’ils affectent négativement le comportement à court et à long terme de la structure. Dans cet article, un modèle de transfert hydrique est proposé pour prédire la migration de l'humidité et le champ de la teneur en eau dans le matériau poreux étudié. Le passage entre les états saturés et non saturés se fait en continu, sans recourir à un modèle classique à trois variables d'état. La pression liquide est utilisée comme la seule variable d'état dans l'équation de transport de l'eau. Le modèle de transfert hydrique est d'abord présenté. La structure souterraine soumise au séchage et à la resaturation est ensuite modélisée afin de démontrer la capacité et la performance du modèle hydrique à prendre en compte simultanément une pression d'eau liquide négative et positive, ce qui n'était pas le cas précédemment, par exemple, dans la formulation classique de Richards. Cet exemple démontre le potentiel du modèle à décrire le transfert d'eau en passant d'un état de séchage à un état de saturation.

subject: Strategy, management and organisational behaviour not elsewhere classified

description: This study investigates the lack of adoption of pricing models for tenders in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) markets. We aim to identify the gaps between research and practice and propose a future research agenda to bridge these gaps. Our study contributes in three ways: First, we outline how our research agenda can influence the adoption of pricing models across specific practitioner roles in tendering. Second, we introduce systematic science mapping (SSM) as a novel methodology for literature reviews. SSM combines a systematic review and science mapping in a multi-stage, mixed-methods research design. We chart the evolution of 1042 research publications from 1956 to 2022 into three thematic areas. Our review of 163 gray literature publications reveals seven schools of thought on tender price modeling and the causes of theory-to-practice gaps. Finally, we introduce a new metric, the mapping factor (MAPF), as a robustness indicator for systematic literature reviews.

description: A scheme to derive hadronic interactions induced by effective multi-quark terms is presented within the framework of chiral effective field theory. It is employed to work out the list of parity- and time-reversal-symmetry-violating hadronic interactions that are relevant for the computation of nuclear contributions to the electric dipole moments of the hydrogen-2, helium-3 and hydrogen-3 nuclei. We also derive the scattering and Faddeev equations required to compute electromagnetic form factors in general and electric dipole moments in particular.

Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering

description: The characteristics of inclusions have a great influence on the fracture characteristics of concrete. In this research paper, a numerical investigation on the influence of inclusion shape on concrete shrinkage fracture behavior is presented. A meso-scale finite element model of concrete is established, considering the three-phase composite structure of inclusions, mortar, and interfacial transition zone (ITZ). An elastic-plastic damage model is used to describe the mechanical behavior of the mortar under drying conditions, while the inclusions are assumed to be elastic. A humidity diffusion model is coupled with the mechanical model to simulate the moisture transport and the shrinkage strain in the concrete. The paper analyzes the effects of different inclusion shapes, such as circular, elliptical, and polygonal, on the crack initiation and propagation in concrete. The results show that the inclusion shape has a significant impact on stress concentration, crack pattern, and crack area of concrete. The paper provides theoretical insights for the prevention and treatment of concrete shrinkage cracks.

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

description: The inability to predict neutrino masses and the existence of the dark matter are two essential shortcomings of the Standard Model. The Higgs Triplet Model provides an elegant resolution of neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism. We show here that introducing vectorlike leptons in the model also provides a resolution to the problem of dark matter. We investigate constraints, including the invisible decay width of the Higgs boson and the electroweak precision variables, and impose restrictions on model parameters. We analyze the effect of the relic density constraint on the mass and Yukawa coupling of dark matter. We also calculate the cross sections for indirect and direct dark matter detection and show our model predictions for the neutrino and muon fluxes from the Sun, and the restrictions they impose on the parameter space. With the addition of vectorlike leptons, the model is completely consistent with dark matter constraints, in addition to improving electroweak precision and doubly charged mass restrictions, which are rendered consistent with present experimental data.

subject: Cardiology (incl. cardiovascular diseases)

description: Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a rising global burden. Preventative strategies such as cardiac rehabilitation (CR) have shown a marked reduction in disease burden. Despite this, CR is underutilized worldwide. This study aims to identify the barriers to CR among patients diagnosed with CVD. Methods: A scoping review of the literature was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines. Four major databases, including CINAHL, PubMed, EBSCOhost, and Scopus, were used to obtain studies published between 2010 and 2023. Search terms such as “Cardiac rehab*”, “Barrier*”, “Cardiovascular”, “Disease”, and “diagnosis*” were utilized in order to obtain subject-specific studies relevant to the research question. Results: From the initial 2098 studies, only 14 were included in the final analysis, consisting of both qualitative and quantitative designs. The thematic analysis included “healthcare system-related factors”, “Socioeconomic factors”, and “individual characteristics”. Healthcare system-related factors were mostly related to the poor availability of CR programs, lack of proper referral strategies, inadequate knowledge of CR provider and inter-provider communication issues, and lack of alternative methods of CR delivery. The socioeconomic barriers were lack of education, longer distance to CR facilities, high cost of care, unemployment, and poor income status. The identified individual characteristics were female gender, older age, and comorbidities. Conclusions: Lack of resources, poor access, educational attainment, and high cost of care were some of the barriers to CR, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Health policymakers and healthcare providers should implement strategies incorporating the issues identified in this scoping review. Systematic reviews may be required to confirm these findings.

description: Construction joints are a common concern in reinforced concrete structures, often posing as potential weak points that can compromise structural integrity. This study delves into the use of geopolymer, a sustainable and green material, as a promising repair material for reinforced concrete. Specifically, this research focuses on the potential of metakaolin-based geopolymers. The fundamental mechanical properties and feasibility of geopolymer mortar were investigated through uniaxial compression tests. Additionally, experiments designed following Darcy's Law were conducted to comprehend the permeability characteristics. These experiments revealed a significant water saturation influence on permeability, which decreases with increasing air pressure and confining pressure. Then, the porosity of this geopolymer mortar is 26.87% using gas while 18.54% using water. Further, a series of shear bond tests were performed to explore the hydro-mechanical behavior at the interface between geopolymer mortar and ordinary concrete under loading conditions. The results indicate commendable bonding performance at the interface, exhibiting a bond strength of 5.49MPa， signifying the potential for further research in this domain.

description: The problem `human and work' in a model working group is investigated by means of cellular automata technique. Attitude of members of a group towards work is measured by an indicator of loyalty to the group (the number of agents who carry out their tasks), and lack of loyalty (the number of agents, who give their tasks to other agents). Initially, all agents realize scheduled tasks one-by-one. Agents with the number of scheduled tasks larger than a given threshold change their strategy to unloyal one and start avoiding completing tasks by passing them to their colleagues. Optionally, in some conditions, we allow agents to return to loyal state; hence the rule is hysteretic. Results are presented on an influence of i) the density of tasks, ii) the threshold number of tasks assigned to the agents' forcing him/her for strategy change on the system efficiency. We show that a `black' scenario of the system stacking in a `jammed phase' (with all agents preferring unloyal strategy and having plenty tasks scheduled for realization) may be avoided when return to loyalty is allowed and either i) the number of agents chosen for task realization, or ii) the number of assigned tasks, or iii) the threshold value of assigned tasks, which force the agent to conversion from loyal strategy to unloyal one, or iv) the threshold value of tasks assigned to unloyal agent, which force him/her to task redistribution among his/her neighbors, are smartly chosen.

description: We discuss how to locate critical points in the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) universality class by means of gap-scaling analyses. While accurately determining such points using gap extrapolation procedures is usually challenging and inaccurate due to the exponentially small value of the gap in the vicinity of the critical point, we show that a generic gap-scaling analysis, including the effects of logarithmic corrections, provides very accurate estimates of BKT transition points in a variety of spin and fermionic models. As a first example, we show how the scaling procedure, combined with density-matrix-renormalization-group simulations, performs extremely well in a non-integrable spin-$3/2$ XXZ model, which is known to exhibit strong finite-size effects. We then analyze the extended Hubbard model, whose BKT transition has been debated, finding results that are consistent with previous studies based on the scaling of the Luttinger-liquid parameter. Finally, we investigate an anisotropic extended Hubbard model, for which we present the first estimates of the BKT transition line based on large-scale density-matrix-renormalization-group simulations. Our work demonstrates how gap-scaling analyses can help to locate accurately and efficiently BKT critical points, without relying on model-dependent scaling assumptions.

La prima ipotesi

description: This work has as its object of analysis the first hypothesis on the One of Plato's Parmenides, and highlights its structurally aporetic and even paradoxical aspects. These aspects, howewer, are not to be regarded as something to be eliminated. The reading I propose supports the necessary transgression of logical axioms, because in Parmenides is to discuss the absolute principle as the One considered as itself, and any discussion on the absolute always leads to insoluble aporias. Some thesis of the essay can be traced back to a hermeneutic perspective, like that of Damascius, who has always emphasized the continuous overthrow of speech in the Parmenides.

description: Purpose of the Project - The purpose of this DNP project was to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a clinic protocol to improve the uptake of the HPV vaccine in adolescents and young adults aged 11 to 26 years old with disabilities in a pediatric primary care clinic. Methodology - With an overall aim of improving HPV vaccination in adolescents and young adults aged 11 to 26 years old with disabilities, a retrospective and prospective approach for data collection during a pre-and post-implementation assessment was utilized to measure the effectiveness of the clinic protocol in a pediatric care clinic in Nutley, New Jersey. Descriptive statistics were used to compare the retrospective and prospective chart reviews of HPV vaccination initiation pre-and post-implementation of the HPV vaccination clinic protocol. Results - CDC HPV vaccination information and a reminder to schedule an appointment were sent to the parents/guardians of the eligible adolescents and young adults identified in the retrospective chart review. Of forty, eleven (27.5%) scheduled an appointment. Three (7.5%) of the forty adolescents and young adults with disabilities kept their well-child care appointment, received education on the HPV vaccine, and received HPV vaccination. Implications for Practice - The implementation of this quality improvement project increased providers' awareness of HPV vaccine clinical practice guidelines and recommendations. Additionally, this quality improvement project can be standardized as an exemplar for others to ensure the delivery of equal care to individuals with disabilities.

description: Objective: Mothers of advanced maternal age (AMA) at childbirth (age ‡35 years) may have different perceptions of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk, independent of sociodemographic factors, that may affect ASD identification. We aimed to estimate associations between AMA and both age of a child's first evaluation noting developmental concerns and time from first evaluation to first ASD diagnosis. Methods: We used data for 8-year-olds identified with ASD in the 2008 to 2012 Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network. We estimated differences in age at first evaluation noting developmental concerns and time to first ASD diagnosis by AMA using quantile and Cox regression. Results: Of 10,358 children with ASD, 19.7% had mothers of AMA. AMA was associated with higher educational attainment and previous live births compared with younger mothers. In unadjusted analyses, AMA was associated with earlier first evaluation noting developmental concerns (median 37 vs 40 mo) and patterns in time to first evaluation (hazard ratio: 1.12, 95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.18). Associations between AMA and evaluation timing diminished and were no longer significant after adjustment for socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Children's intellectual disability did not modify associations between AMA and timing of evaluations. Conclusion: Advanced maternal age is a sociodemographic factor associated with younger age of first evaluation noting developmental concerns in children with ASD, but AMA was not independently associated likely, because it is a consequence or cofactor of maternal education and other sociodemographic characteristics. AMA may be a demographic factor to consider when aiming to screen and evaluate children at risk for ASD.

description: Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are commonly used as plasticizers and flame retardants in consumer products, and exposure is relatively ubiquitous in most populations studied. This may be of concern as some OPEs may be neurotoxic, endocrine-disrupting, and interfere with behavioral development; however, observational evidence is limited. We used data from the Pregnancy, Infection, and Nutrition Study, a prospective birth cohort study, to investigate associations between maternal OPE metabolite concentrations during pregnancy and behavioral development in offspring. Women provided a urine sample during pregnancy that was analyzed for concentrations of OPE metabolites, including diphenyl phosphate (DPHP), bis(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl phosphate) (BDCIPP), isopropyl-phenyl phenyl phosphate (ip-PPP), and 1-hydroxyl-2-propyl bis(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BCIPHIPP). Offspring's behavioral development was assessed by the Behavioral Assessment System for Children (2nd Edition) (BASC-2) at approximately 36 months. Linear regression was used to estimate associations between tertiles in specific gravity-corrected OPE metabolite concentrations and children's scores on the BASC-2, adjusted for maternal age, maternal BMI, maternal race, maternal education, familial income, maternal depression, quality of the home environment, and sex. Higher BDCIPP concentrations were associated with higher scores on the Behavioral Symptoms Index (1st vs. 3rd tertile: β = 3.03; 95% CI = 0.40, 5.67) and Externalizing Problems (1st vs. 3rd tertile: β = 2.49; 95% CI: −0.12, 5.10) composites. Among BASC-2 scales, BDCIPP was most strongly associated with Withdrawal, Attention Problems, Depression, Hyperactivity, and Aggression. DPHP concentrations were also associated with higher scores on the Externalizing Problems and Behavioral Symptoms Index composites, but not as strongly as BDCIPP. Conversely, higher concentrations of ip-PPP were associated with fewer adverse behavioral symptoms, including an inverse association with the Internalizing Problems composite (1st vs. 3rd tertile: β = −3.74; 95% CI = −6.75, −0.74) and constituent scales. BCIPHIPP was not strongly associated with any measured behavioral outcomes. Our results suggest that greater maternal exposure to tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl phosphate) (TDCIPP, parent compound of BDCIPP) and, to a lesser degree, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP, parent compound of DPHP) during pregnancy is associated with adverse behavioral development in children. Our study contributes to the growing body of evidence pertaining to adverse developmental effects of prenatal OPE exposure and highlights the need for further research to characterize risks associated with this ubiquitous family of chemicals.

Radiation comb generation with extended Josephson junctions

description: We propose the implementation of a Josephson radiation comb generator (JRCG) based on an extended Josephson junction subject to a time dependent magnetic field. The junction critical current shows known diffraction patterns and determines the position of the critical nodes when it vanishes. When the magnetic flux passes through one of such critical nodes, the superconducting phase must undergo a $π$-jump to minimize the Josephson energy. Correspondingly a voltage pulse is generated at the extremes of the junction. Under periodic driving this allows us to produce a comb-like voltage pulses sequence. In the frequency domain it is possible to generate up to hundreds of harmonics of the fundamental driving frequency, thus mimicking the frequency comb used in optics and metrology. We discuss several implementations through a rectangular, cylindrical and annular junction geometries, allowing us to generate different radiation spectra and to produce an output power up to $10$~pW at $50$~GHz for a driving frequency of $100$~MHz.

Bog butter

description: The FAIR Principles are the foundation of data management for present-day researchers in any discipline. However, the application of these principles is relatively new and as archaeologists we often rely on data created prior to their implementation. Reusing such data poses a number of obstacles that can be time-consuming and difficult to tackle. However, particularly in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the reuse of data has come to the forefront as an approach researchers can use to mitigate or substitute for data that is inaccessible either temporarily or permanently. While challenges such as the interoperability, standardisation and original purpose of such data continue to exist, the opportunities presented to us by the reuse of data are becoming increasingly clear.

 Using the construction of an Irish bog butter database as a case study, this presentation will explore why I chose to reuse data; the challenges associated with this; and the opportunities this has presented. It will also look at how applying modern techniques to old data can create new knowledge and revolutionise our understanding of previously poorly understood phenomena – how we can make old data new again.
On the number of large triangles in the Brownian triangulation and fragmentation processes
Creators: name: Shi, Quan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: The Brownian triangulation is a random compact subset of the unit disk introduced by Aldous. For $ε>0$, let $N(ε)$ be the number of triangles whose sizes (measured in different ways) are greater than $ε$ in the Brownian triangulation. We determine the asymptotic behaviour of $N(ε)$ as $ε\to 0$. To obtain this result, a novel concept of "large" dislocations in fragmentations has been proposed. We develop an approach to study the number of large dislocations which is widely applicable to general self-similar fragmentation processes. This technique enables us to study $N(ε)$ because of a bijection between the triangles in the Brownian triangulation and the dislocations of a certain self-similar fragmentation process. Our method also provides a new way to obtain the law of the length of the longest chord in the Brownian triangulation. We further extend our results to the more general class of geodesic stable laminations introduced by Kortchemski.

Universal relation between thermal entropy and entanglement entropy in CFT

description: Inspired by the holographic computation of large interval entanglement entropy of two dimensional conformal field theory at high temperature, it was proposed that the thermal entropy is related to the entanglement entropy as $S_{th}=\displaystyle{\lim_{l \to 0}(S_{EE}(R-l)-S_{EE}(l))}$. In this letter, we prove this relation for 2D CFT with discrete spectrum in two different ways. Moreover we discuss this relation for a 2D noncompact free scalar, which is a gapless CFT with continuous spectrum. We show that it could be recovered, after appropriately regularizing the theory.

description: Summary report of the phase I archaeological survey project that was initiated to identify and evaluated the potential impacts on cultural resources from the proposed construction of the kiosk placement and parking lot at Arnold Air Force Base. Investigations included a review of the existing site records, visual inspection, and shovel testing. Records search indicated the area is within the boundaries of Camp Forrest but will not disturb any significant remains associated with that complex. Visual inspection showed that the project area has been subjected to disturbance from previous clearing and use as a parking lot. No prehistoric cultural material of any kind was observed during visual inspection of the bare ground or in any of the four shovel tests. No archaeological deposits were identified as a result of this investigation. This area is recommended cleared from a cultural resources perspective.

description: Background: To examine whether neighborhood deprivation modifies the association between early life air pollution exposure and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we used resources from a multisite case-control study, the Study to Explore Early Development. Methods: Cases were 674 children with confirmed ASD born in 2003-2006; controls were 855 randomly sampled children born during the same time period and residents of the same geographic areas as cases. Air pollution was assessed by roadway proximity and particulate matter <2.5 µm (PM2.5) exposure during pregnancy and first year of life. To characterize neighborhood deprivation, an index was created based on eight census tract-level socioeconomic status-related parameters. The continuous index was categorized into tertiles, representing low, moderate, and high deprivation. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Neighborhood deprivation modified (Pfor interaction = 0.08) the association between PM2.5 exposure during the first year of life and ASD, with a stronger association for those living in high (OR = 2.42, 95% CI = 1.20, 4.86) rather than moderate (OR=1.21, 95% CI = 0.67, 2.17) or low (OR=1.46, 95% CI = 0.80, 2.65) deprivation neighborhoods. Departure from additivity or multiplicativity was not observed for roadway proximity or exposures during pregnancy. Conclusion: These results provide suggestive evidence of interaction between neighborhood deprivation and PM2.5 exposure during the first year of life in association with ASD.

description: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening vascular disease with an up to 80% mortality in case of rupture. Current biomarkers fail to account for size-independent risk of rupture. By combining the information of different molecular probes, multi-target molecular MRI holds the potential to enable individual characterization of AAA. In this experimental study, we aimed to examine the feasibility of simultaneous imaging of extracellular collagen and inflammation for size-independent prediction of risk of rupture in murine AAA. The study design consisted of: (1) A outcome-based longitudinal study with imaging performed once after one week with follow-up and death as the end-point for assessment of rupture risk. (2) A week-by-week study for the characterization of AAA development with imaging after 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. For both studies, the animals were administered a type 1 collagen-targeted gadolinium-based probe (surrogate marker for extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling) and an iron oxide-based probe (surrogate marker for inflammatory activity), in one imaging session. In vivo measurements of collagen and iron oxide probes showed a significant correlation with ex vivo histology (p < 0.001) and also corresponded well to inductively-coupled plasma-mass spectrometry and laser-ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Combined evaluation of collagen-related ECM remodeling and inflammatory activity was the most accurate predictor for AAA rupture (sensitivity 80%, specificity 100%, area under the curve 0.85), being superior to information from the individual probes alone. Our study supports the feasibility of a simultaneous assessment of collagen-related extracellular matrix remodeling and inflammatory activity in a murine model of AAA.
