Topological edge states in dipolar zig-zag stripes

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the magnon spectrum of stacked zig-zag chains of point magnetic dipoles with an easy axis. The anisotropy due to the dipolar interactions and the two-point basis of the zig-zag chain unit cell combine to give rise to topologically non-trivial magnon bands in 2D zig-zag lattices. Adjusting the distance between the two sublattice sites in the unit cell causes a band touching, which triggers the exchange of the Chern numbers of volume bands switching the sign of the thermal conductivity and the sense of motion of edges modes in zig-zag stripes. We show that these topological features survive when the range of the dipolar interactions is truncated up to the second nearest neighbors.

description: Статья посвящена актуальной на сегодняшний день проблеме формирования личности обучающегося, владеющего этнической и общероссийской культурой. В XXI веке успех нового цивилизованного общества во многом будет зависеть от стимулирования культурного многообразия мира, взаимодействия народов и различных наций. В современных условиях перспективы развития российской образовательной системы рассматриваются в контексте диалектики приобщения к национально-региональным, российским и мировым ценностям культуры. Проблемы их сбалансированности влияют на формирование многоуровневой самоидентификации: этнокультурной, личностной, гражданской, профессиональной. Региональные особенности определяют своеобразие региональной образовательной среды.

description: I conducted a content analysis of ten university student health websites, one of which was the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s (UNC) Campus Health website (https://campushealth.unc.edu/). All schools selected for this paper, including UNC, were from the top ten states with the highest number of total COVID-19 cases as of 12:15pm on August 13, 2020 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s COVID Data Tracker (CDC, 2020). These schools are flagship state universities, and I looked at how they organized COVID-19 information on their student health websites (information architecture). Based on the content analysis, there were a few suggestions for changes to the UNC Campus Health website and other university student health websites pertaining to this information.

Research questions focused on the following:
(1) How do university student health websites organize their information about COVID-
19 (information architecture)?
(2) Is there a pattern these sites seem to follow in this information architecture regarding
COVID-19?
(3) Is the information architecture effective in finding the information needed?
(4) Are there changes that could be made to increase the user experience and information
behaviors of those seeking information?

description: Lab-cultivated mycelia of Fomes fomentarius (FF), grown on a solid lignocellulose medium (FF-SM) and a liquid glucose medium (FF-LM), and naturally grown fruiting bodies (FF-FB) were studied as biosorbents for the removal of organic dyes methylene blue and Congo red (CR). Both the chemical and microstructural differences were revealed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential analysis, and scanning electron microscopy, illuminating the superiority of FF-LM and FF-SM over FF-FB in dye adsorption. The adsorption process of CR on FF-LM and FF-SM is best described by the Redlich–Peterson model with β constants close to 1, that is, approaching the monolayer Langmuir model, which reach maximum adsorption capacities of 48.8 and 13.4 mg g–1, respectively, in neutral solutions. Adsorption kinetics follow the pseudo-second-order model where chemisorption is the rate-controlling step. While the desorption efficiencies were low, adsorption performances were preserved and even enhanced under simulated dye effluent conditions. The results suggest that F. fomentarius can be considered an attractive biosorbent in industrial wastewater treatment and that its cultivation conditions can be specifically tailored to tune its cell wall composition and adsorption performance.

description: Проблемы научной работы по русскому языку в школе и вузе в определенной степени коренятся в уровне знаний о достижениях науки и особенностях их представления в историческом и современном аспектах. Активизация научной составляющей в школьном преподавании и научно-исследовательской работы учащихся обусловливает необходимость введения сведений об учёных, которые сыграли значительную роль в истории отечественной филологии. Такой аспект преподавательской деятельности учителя требует от него не только знаний об истории лингвистических учений и основных направлениях развития языкознания, но и осмысления роли личности учёного-филолога в процессе становления и развития науки о языке. В связи с этим на филологическом факультете Оренбургского государственного педагогического университета в течение 15 лет разрабатывается серия научно-просвещенческих мероприятий «Филология в лицах: достояние Отечества», посвящённых, прежде всего, личности учёного. Разносторонне были представлены учёные в юбилейные даты (М.В. Ломоносов, П.И. Рычков, И.И. Срезневский, А.А. Шахматов, Ф.И. Буслаев, Н.С. Трубецкой и др.), в дни памяти (П.А. Лекант, В.В. Колесов, А.А. Зализняк). Особая страница посвящена учёным, работавшим на факультете, – Б.А. Моисееву, Л.С. Паниной, В.Г. Руделёву, Н.И. Зорину. Такая работа позволяет выстроить не только эффективную образовательную среду, но и гармонично соединить её воспитательные возможности с реальной научно-исследовательской работой.

description: The service provided by mobile networks operated today is not adapted to spatio-temporal fluctuations in traffic demand, although such fluctuations offer opportunities for energy savings. In particular, significant gains in energy efficiency are realizable by disengaging temporarily redundant hardware components of base stations. We therefore propose a novel optimization framework that considers both the load-dependent energy radiated by the antennas and the remaining forms of energy needed for operating the base stations. The objective is to reduce the energy consumption of mobile networks, while ensuring that the data rate requirements of the users are met throughout the coverage area. Building upon sparse optimization techniques, we develop a majorization-minimization algorithm with the ability to identify energy-efficient network configurations. The iterative algorithm is load-aware, has low computational complexity, and can be implemented in an online fashion to exploit load fluctuations on a short time scale. Simulations show that the algorithm can find network configurations with the energy consumption similar to that obtained with global optimization tools, which cannot be applied to real large networks. Although we consider only one currently deployed cellular technology, the optimization framework is general, potentially applicable to a large class of access technologies.

description: In 2014, researchers Levine and Gershenson demonstrated neighborhoods with higher rates of first generation immigrant families were less likely than other neighborhoods with similar needs to send 311 service requests to their local government. Although many first generation immigrants have created established communities, there is evidence these communities have been historically under-represented, discriminated against, and may view interactions with local government differently than other ethnic groups. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to examine the Latino/Latine community in Durham NC and its relationship to and level of knowledge of Durham’s non-emergency contact system Durham One Call. Through data collected from surveys and semi-structured interviews, I seek to answer the following questions: Does the Latino population in the City of Durham have knowledge about Durham One Call, the 311 system that enables citizens to directly interact with their local government? And what is their relationship to this system?

description: MAXI J1836-194 is a Galactic black hole candidate X-ray binary that was discovered in 2011 when it went into outburst. In this paper, we present the full radio monitoring of this system during its `failed' outburst, in which the source did not complete a full set of state changes, only transitioning as far as the hard intermediate state. Observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) show that the jet properties changed significantly during the outburst. The VLA observations detected linearly polarised emission at a level of ~1% early in the outburst, increasing to ~3% as the outburst peaked. High-resolution images with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) show a ~15 mas jet along the position angle $-21 \pm 2^\circ$, in agreement with the electric vector position angle found from our polarisation results ($-21 \pm 4^\circ$), implying that the magnetic field is perpendicular to the jet. Astrometric observations suggest that the system required an asymmetric natal kick to explain its observed space velocity. Comparing quasi-simultaneous X-ray monitoring with the 5 GHz VLA observations from the 2011 outburst shows an unusually steep hard-state radio/X-ray correlation of $L_{\rm R} \propto L_{\rm X}^{1.8\pm0.2}$, where $L_{\rm R}$ and $L_{\rm X}$ denote the radio and X-ray luminosities, respectively. With ATCA and Swift monitoring of the source during a period of re-brightening in 2012, we show that the system lay on the same steep correlation. Due to the low inclination of this system, we then investigate the possibility that the observed correlation may have been steepened by variable Doppler boosting.

description: This study examines how U.S. academic libraries use the language of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in their job advertisements. Quantitative content analysis was used to examine a sample of ALA JobLIST ads from 2013 and 2018 to see whether usage has changed over time. Ads were coded to analyze which words were used and in what sections of the ad. The results shed light on how libraries are representing themselves in this area and what they are looking for in job candidates. This study may be of interest to HR librarians, administrators and managers, and any library workers who are invested in equity and inclusion work.

description: The composition, sizes and shapes of particles in the clouds of Venus have previously been studied with a variety of in situ and remote sensor measurements. A number of major questions remain unresolved, however, motivating the development of an exploratory mission that will drop a small probe, instrumented with a single-particle autofluorescence nephelometer (AFN), into Venus' atmosphere. The AFN is specifically designed to address uncertainties associated with the asphericity and complex refractive indices of cloud particles. The AFN projects a collimated, focused, linearly polarized, 440 nm wavelength laser beam through a window of the capsule into the airstream and measures the polarized components of some of the light that is scattered by individual particles that pass through the laser beam. The AFN also measures fluorescence from those particles that contain material that fluoresce when excited at a wavelength of 440 nm and emit at 470-520 nm. Fluorescence is expected from some organic molecules if present in the particles. AFN measurements during probe passage through the Venus clouds are intended to provide constraints on particle number concentration, size, shape, and composition. Hypothesized organics, if present in Venus aerosols, may be detected by the AFN as a precursor to precise identification via future missions. The AFN has been chosen as the primary science instrument for the upcoming Rocket Lab mission to Venus, to search for organic molecules in the cloud particles and constrain the particle composition.

description: The identification of reactive hotspots in shallow porous aquifers is challenging, and normally requires extensive geochemical data collection combined with computationally intensive reactive transport modeling. In this study we propose an alternative, practical approach, combining conservative and reactive tracers using a tomographic setup to localize such zones. Tracer tomography combines multiple tracer tests to capture and reconstruct aquifer heterogeneities. These methods generally use “ideal” tracers that are dominantly transported by conservative advection to provide a hydraulically accurate aquifer reconstruction. We compare these conservative tracer tomography results to those obtained by using reactive tracers in a similar tomographic setup. Assuming that the conservative tracer is ideal, the differences between the two tracers will be mainly related to reactive transport. In natural systems, the biogeochemical reactions happen in localized zones, these will be the parts of the reconstructions with the greatest differences. We present the viability of the approach in a simple 2-D example, and on an aquifer analog model-based complex example. With extensive sensitivity analysis, we test the effectiveness of the method under different reaction intensities to define the chemical requirements for an ideal reactive tracer for such investigations.

QUOTA DI RISERVA E FAMILY PROVISION A CONFRONTO: LA SUCCESSIONE NECESSARIA IN UNA PROSPETTIVA DI COMPARAZIONE TRA IL SISTEMA ITALIANO ED IL MODELLO INGLESE
Creators: name: ZANABONI, ROSSELLA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: The aim of this work is to compare the ?provision for family and dependants? in English legal system with the Italian discipline of forced-succession. The Italian Legal system establishes some fixed limits to one?s testamentary freedom, because of the fact that the ?deceased person? is called to look after his/her relatives and to take care of their needs. On the other hand, in England the succession rule is the testamentary freedom. In 1938 the Inheritance Family Provision Act and in 1975 the Inheritance Provision for Family and Dependants Act introduced some limits to this testamentary freedom: the relatives of the deceased person, who did not received any amount from the ?deceased re? can act and claim to receive a reasonable provision; however, this ?provision? does not consist in a certain amount, but can be fixed by the judge case by case, considering all the relevant circumstances. The Inheritance Provision for Family and Dependants Act allows the dependant and the person who has been maintained by the deceased to ask for the provision, so that the right to have a provision is not limited to parents, sons and wife/husband. As it concerns the amount of the provision, if the Italian system establishes fixed amounts, the English legal system has much more flexibility than the Italian one and many factors have to be considered in determining the amount to be given to the plaintiff. Those factors are: if the plaintiff who asks the provision has his own goods and work or not, if the deceased had any debt towards the plaintiff or not, what is the value of the deceased ?re?, if the plaintiff has psychological or physical problems or weakness, how the plaintiff treated the deceased when he/she was alive, how many years the marriage lasted, in case the plaintiff is wife or husband of the deceased. English law does not establish neither a minimum, nor a maximum for the provision, but the amount of it is up to the judge to be determined. The study of English case law can lead us to discover if the attribution of family provision is so frequent as one could expect it to be or if the provision is rarely allowed because of the uncertainty about the amount which can be obtained and about the possibility of obtaining it. The final aim of this work is to point out how family provision is used in English case law and if the ?common law-way of thinking? is so far from the civil law one, to exclude an hypothetical harmonisation of the two ?forced- succession disciplines?.
Developing therapeutic approaches for twenty-first-century emerging infectious viral diseases

description: The twenty-first century has already recorded more than ten major epidemic or pandemic virus emergence events, including the ongoing and devastating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As viral disease emergence is expected to accelerate, these data dictate a need for proactive approaches to develop broadly active family-specific and cross-family therapeutics for use in future disease outbreaks. Emphasis should focus not only on the development of broad-spectrum small-molecule and antibody direct-acting antivirals, but also on host-factor therapeutics, including repurposing previously approved or in-pipeline drugs. Another new class of therapeutics with great antiviral therapeutic potential is RNA-based therapeutics. Rather than only focusing on known risks, dedicated efforts must be made toward pre-emptive research focused on outbreak-prone virus families, ultimately offering a strategy to shorten the gap between outbreak and response. Emphasis should also focus on orally available drugs for outpatient use, if possible, and on identifying combination therapies that combat viral and immune-mediated pathologies, extend the effectiveness of therapeutic windows and reduce drug resistance. While such an undertaking will require new vision, dedicated funding and private, federal and academic partnerships, this approach offers hope that global populations need never experience future pandemics such as COVID-19.

description: The modern treatment of any disease is heavily dependent on the medical diagnosis. Clinical data obtained through the diagnostics tests need to be collected and entered into the computer database in order to make a clinical data repository. In most of the cases, manual entry is an absolute necessity. However, manual entry can cause errors also, leading to wrong diagnosis. This paper explains how data could be entered free of error to reduce the chances of wrong diagnosis by designing and implementation of a simple database driven application.

description: В статье представлено теоретическое обоснование и описание апробации педагогических условий использования образовательной технологии «Теория решения изобретательских задач» (ТРИЗ) в формировании основ культуры потребления у детей в период дошкольного детства. Старший дошкольный возраст признан исследователями, педагогами как наиболее сенситивный период к усвоению начал различных направлений культуры. Культура потребления не является исключением. Важно с дошкольного возраста привить у детей осознанное отношение к окружающему миру, сформировать бережное отношение, как к природной, так и рукотворной среде. Авторы статьи акцентируют внимание на необходимости поиска в современной образовательной практике наиболее эффективных средств формирования основ экологической и экономической культуры у подрастающего поколения. Технология «ТРИЗ» в большей степени используется для развития творческого воображения и мышления. Использование её потенциала относительно формирования культуры потребления представляется нам достаточно новым процессом. Мы считаем, что современный человек должен уметь нестандартно решать многие вопросы, в том числе и вопросы, связанные с сохранением и преумножением ресурсов нашей планеты, и данный процесс должен начинаться в период дошкольного детства. В статье сформулированы и обоснованы педагогические условия, позволяющие эффективно осуществлять процесс формирования культуры потребления у детей старшего дошкольного возраста средствами технологии «ТРИЗ».

description: We sketch here an approach to the computation of generalised parton distributions (GPDs), based upon a rainbow-ladder (RL) truncation of QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations and exemplified via the pion's valence dressed-quark GPD, $H_π^{\rm v}(x,ξ,t)$. Our analysis focuses on the case of zero skewness, $ξ=0$, and underlines that the impulse-approximation used hitherto to define the pion's valence dressed-quark GPD is generally invalid owing to omission of contributions from the gluons which bind dressed-quarks into the pion. A simple correction enables us to identify a practicable improvement to the approximation for $H_π^{\rm v}(x,0,t)$, expressed as the Radon transform of a single amplitude. Therewith we obtain results for $H_π^{\rm v}(x,0,t)$ and the associated impact-parameter dependent distribution, $q_π^{\rm v}(x,|\vec{b}_\perp|)$, which provide a qualitatively sound picture of the pion's dressed-quark structure at an hadronic scale.

description: We study the evolution of the luminosity-to-halo mass relation of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). We select a sample of 52 000 LOWZ and CMASS LRGs from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) SDSS-DR10 in the ~450 deg^2 that overlaps with imaging data from the second Red-sequence Cluster Survey (RCS2), group them into bins of absolute magnitude and redshift and measure their weak lensing signals. The source redshift distribution has a median of 0.7, which allows us to study the lensing signal as a function of lens redshift. We interpret the lensing signal using a halo model, from which we obtain the halo masses as well as the normalisations of the mass-concentration relations. We find that the concentration of haloes that host LRGs is consistent with dark matter only simulations once we allow for miscentering or satellites in the modelling. The slope of the luminosity-to-halo mass relation has a typical value of 1.4 and does not change with redshift, but we do find evidence for a change in amplitude: the average halo mass of LOWZ galaxies increases by 25_{-14}^{+16} % between z=0.36 and 0.22 to an average value of 6.43+/-0.52 x 10^13 h70^-1 Msun. If we extend the redshift range using the CMASS galaxies and assume that they are the progenitors of the LOWZ sample, we find that the average mass of LRGs increases by 80^{+39}_{-28} % between z=0.6 and 0.2

description: We show that the momentum distribution of a nonlinear matter wave suddenly released with a finite velocity in a speckle potential converges, after an out-of-equilibrium evolution, to a universal Rayleigh-Jeans thermal distribution. By exploring the complete phase diagram of the equilibrated wave, we discover that for low but nonzero values of the disorder strength, a large-scale structure -a condensate- appears in the equilibrium distribution.

title: Shrimp oil extracted from shrimp processing by-product is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and astaxanthin-esters, and reveals potential anti-adipogenic effects in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

description: The province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, generates tons of shrimp processing by-product every year. Shrimp processing by-product is a valuable source of shrimp oil and astaxanthin (Astx), a potent antioxidant that exist in either free or esterified form (Astx-E). As part of this thesis, extraction of shrimp oil was carried out from shrimp processing by-product using various extraction methods. The shrimp oil extracted from shrimp processing by-product using Soxhlet method (hexane: acetone 2:3) showed that shrimp oil is rich in omega (n)-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), phospholipids and Astx-E. Shrimp oil was also extracted from shrimp processing by-product using waste fish oil as a solvent, and also fish waste. The oil extracts were rich in triacylglycerols (TAG), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), followed by PUFA, and contained low amount of total carotenoids. The next objective of this thesis was to investigate the effects of shrimp extract and shrimp oil on fat accumulation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, and the mRNA expression of genes involved in adipogenesis and lipogenesis. I also investigated the effects of fish oil, and a combination of fish oil plus Astx-E on fat accumulation, and the mRNA expression of genes involved in adipogenesis and lipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. My findings demonstrated that shrimp oil extracted from shrimp processing by-product using the Soxhlet method decreased fat accumulation, and reduced the mRNA expression of adipogenic and lipogenic genes, compared to untreated cells. However, fish oil and fish oil plus Astx-E increased fat accumulation, and the mRNA expression of adipogenic and lipogenic genes, compared to untreated cells. Thus, shrimp oil and fish oil appear to regulate adipogenesis and lipogenesis via independent pathways. Shrimp oil extracts using waste fish oil revealed similar effects on adipogenesis and lipogenesis as that of fish oil. Overall, my findings demonstrate that shrimp oil extracted from shrimp processing by-product using the Soxhlet method contains a significant amount of phospholipids, n-3 PUFA and Astx-E, and inhibits fat accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. Thus, it has the potential to elicit anti-adipogenic effects.

description: COVID-19 dramatically changed American work environments, including positions in academic archives. This research explores the impact of COVID-19 on small academic archives and the effectiveness of disaster management plans and scholarship in mitigating damages and fallout. Thus, the research questions are as follows: What disaster management strategies have small academic archives employed in response to COVID- 19, and what implications do these responses have for future archival disaster management strategies? This study employs a qualitative thematic analysis of interview responses from liberal arts college archivists and special collections librarians selected from the Oberlin Group of Libraries on their COVID-19 responses. Data gathered from surveys and interviews were analyzed and compiled to evaluate key themes. This research may serve as a starting point for a fuller exploration of disaster management strategies in the wake of COVID-19, not only at archival collections of small liberal arts colleges, but also at similarly sized cultural heritage institutions.

Water insecurity is associated with greater food insecurity and lower dietary diversity: panel data from sub-Saharan Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic

description:
There is growing recognition that water insecurity – the inability to reliably access sufficient water for all household uses – is commonly experienced globally and has myriad adverse consequences for human well-being. The role of water insecurity in food insecurity and diet quality, however, has received minimal attention. Data are from panel surveys conducted during 2020–21 among adults involved in smallholder agriculture in Niger (n = 364, 3 rounds), Nigeria (n = 501, 5 rounds), Senegal (n = 501, 5 rounds), and Ghana (n = 543, 5 rounds). We hypothesized that household water insecurity (measured using the brief Household Water Insecurity Experiences Scale) would be associated with greater individual food insecurity (using 5 of the 8 Food Insecurity Experiences Scale items) and lower dietary diversity (using the Minimum Dietary Diversity Score for Women). At baseline, 37.1% of individuals were living in water-insecure households and of these, 90.6% had some experience of food insecurity. In multilevel mixed-effects regressions, individuals living in water-insecure households had 1.67 (95% CI: 1.47, 1.89) times higher odds of reporting any food insecurity experience and were estimated to consume 0.38-fewer food groups (95% CI: -0.50, -0.27) than those living in water-secure households. Experiences with suboptimal water access and use are associated with poor nutrition. The pathways by which water insecurity impacts nutrition should be identified. Global and national food and nutrition security policies could be strengthened by monitoring and developing strategies to address household water insecurity.

description: Thermally-densified hafnium terephthalate UiO-66(Hf) is shown to exhibit the strongest isotropic negative thermal expansion (NTE) effect yet reported for a metal-organic framework (MOF). Incorporation of correlated vacancy defects within the framework affects both the extent of thermal densification and the magnitude of NTE observed in the densified product. We thus demonstrate that defect inclusion can be used to tune systematically the physical behaviour of a MOF.
