description: Understanding fluctuation phenomena plays a dominant role in the development of many-body physics. The time evolution of entanglement is essential to a broad range of subjects in many-body physics, ranging from exotic quantum matter to quantum thermalization. Stemming from various dynamical processes of information, fluctuations in entanglement evolution differ conceptually from out-of-equilibrium fluctuations of traditional physical quantities. Their studies remain elusive. Here we uncover an emergent random structure in the evolution of the many-body wavefunction in two classes of integrable -- either interacting or noninteracting -- lattice models. It gives rise to out-of-equilibrium entanglement fluctuations which fall into the paradigm of mesoscopic fluctuations of wave interference origin. Specifically, the entanglement entropy variance obeys a universal scaling law, in each class, and the full distribution displays a sub-Gaussian upper and a sub-Gamma lower tail. These statistics are independent of both the system's microscopic details and the choice of entanglement probes, and broaden the class of mesoscopic universalities. They have practical implications for controlling entanglement in mesoscopic devices.

description: ABSTRACTThe adsorption behavior for tartrazine removal was studied in batch and fixed-bed column operations with the commercially available anion exchange resin. The breakthrough curves were simulated according to mathematical models that considered the mass transfer resistance, such as the film diffusion, pore diffusion, and a combination of both. Analyses of adsorption reaction models in a batch experiment could be an efficient way to select an adsorption model in a fixed-bed operation, because in this study, such models represented the film and pore diffusion phenomena in a separate initial concentration range. The simulation analysis showed that the adsorption process could be controlled by a combination of film and internal particle resistance, and the tartrazine adsorption process was strongly affected by the internal mass transfer resistance. The concentration-dependent rate expression was used to improve the prediction accuracy of both the film and pore diffusion models, and its application to conventional mathematical models could not define meaningful segments in the adsorption process, but could provide a most useful and accurate way of quantitatively estimating the mass transfer effect.

description: Objectives To investigate the pharmacokinetics, safety and preliminary effectiveness of ultra-low-dose estriol vaginal gel formulations (20 μg/g (T1) and 50 μg/g (T2)) compared to Ovestinon® (estriol 500 μg/0.5 g (R)) and placebo in postmenopausal women. Methods Forty-three volunteers were randomly assigned to received T1, T2, R or placebo once daily for 21 days. Absorption of estriol after single and multiple administration was analyzed. Cytological changes in the vagina, tolerability and safety were also investigated. Results Thirty-six women were included in the pharmacokinetic analysis. Systemic absorption was lower with test formulations (AUC0-t: 171.65 ± 80.18 (T1) and 406.75 ± 199.53 (T2) pg/ml × h) than with Ovestinon® (1221.97 ± 549.06 pg/ml × h). Estriol exposure of the test formulations after multiple administration (AUCss: 36.33 ± 30.52 (T1) and 73.71 ± 46.86 (T2) pg/ml × h) was significantly lower than after single-dose administration and not significantly different between them. In contrast, the exposure after repeated administration of Ovestinon® was considerable and not statistically different from levels after single administration. All estriol formulations produced similar improvement in the vaginal maturation value, while placebo showed a small and not significant change. Overall safety and acceptability were good. Conclusions Estriol 20 and 50 μg/g formulations, while showing a comparable capacity for reversing vaginal atrophy, present a highly favorable safety profile, producing a very low systemic absorption of estriol and significantly lower than that of Ovestinon®.

description: We model near-field thermal emission from metasurfaces structured as two-dimensional arrays of ellipsoidal SiC particles. The modeling approach is developed from fluctuational electrodynamics and is applicable to systems of ellipsoidal particles within the dipole limit. In all simulations, the radial lengths of particles are restricted to the range of 10 to 100 nm, and interparticle spacing is constrained to at least three times the particle characteristic length. The orientation and dimensions of constituent ellipsoidal particles are varied to tune localized surface phonon resonances and control the near-field energy density above metasurfaces. Results show that particle orientation can be used to regulate the relative magnitude of resonances in the energy density and particle dimensions may be changed to adjust the frequency of these resonances within the Reststrahlen band. Metasurfaces constructed from particles with randomized dimensions display comparatively broadband thermal emission rather than the three distinct resonances seen in metasurfaces made with ellipsoidal particles of equivalent dimensions. When the interparticle spacing in a metasurface exceeds about three times the particle characteristic length, the spectral energy density above the metasurface is dominated by individual particle self-interaction and can be approximated as a linear combination of single-particle spectra. When interparticle spacing is at the lower limit of three times the characteristic length, however, multiparticle interaction effects increase, and the spectral energy density above a metasurface deviates from that of single particles. This work provides guidance for designing all-dielectric, particle-based metasurfaces with desired near-field thermal emission spectra, such as thermal switches.

description: Farm advisors are important knowledge transfer agents for improving rural sustainability. Most literature focuses on their role in improving farm economies, but they can also promote greater environmental sustainability. Across Europe, most natural wetlands have been drained, impacting multiple ecosystem services (ES) including biodiversity support and nutrient retention, highlighting the need for increased restoration and creation efforts. In Sweden, these efforts depend on voluntary landowner actions. We interviewed farm advisors to learn how they encourage landowners to create and manage wetlands and the institutional barriers they still encounter. Advisors highlighted trust and long-term relationships as key success factors and considering landowner motivations that often prioritize recreational and cultural ES. Advisors noted overly complex bureaucracy, breaks in funding, inadequate long-term support, and lack of holistic perspectives as barriers for wetland creation. These insights about successful advisor/landowner interactions for wetland creation can be applied when implementing other agri-environmental measures.

description: A growing literature in computational neuroscience leverages gradient descent and learning algorithms that approximate it to study synaptic plasticity in the brain. However, the vast majority of this work ignores a critical underlying assumption: the choice of distance for synaptic changes - i.e. the geometry of synaptic plasticity. Gradient descent assumes that the distance is Euclidean, but many other distances are possible, and there is no reason that biology necessarily uses Euclidean geometry. Here, using the theoretical tools provided by mirror descent, we show that the distribution of synaptic weights will depend on the geometry of synaptic plasticity. We use these results to show that experimentally-observed log-normal weight distributions found in several brain areas are not consistent with standard gradient descent (i.e. a Euclidean geometry), but rather with non-Euclidean distances. Finally, we show that it should be possible to experimentally test for different synaptic geometries by comparing synaptic weight distributions before and after learning. Overall, our work shows that the current paradigm in theoretical work on synaptic plasticity that assumes Euclidean synaptic geometry may be misguided and that it should be possible to experimentally determine the true geometry of synaptic plasticity in the brain.

description: A regular nilpotent Hessenberg Schubert cell is the intersection of a regular nilpotent Hessenberg variety with a Schubert cell. In this paper, we describe a set of minimal generators of the defining ideal of a regular nilpotent Hessenberg Schubert cell in the type $A$ setting. We show that these minimal generators are a Gröbner basis for an appropriate lexicographic monomial order. As a consequence, we obtain a new computational-algebraic proof, in type $A$, of Tymoczko's result that regular nilpotent Hessenberg varieties are paved by affine spaces. In addition, we prove that these defining ideals are complete intersections, are geometrically vertex decomposable, and compute their Hilbert series. We also produce a Frobenius splitting of each Schubert cell that compatibly splits all of the regular nilpotent Hessenberg Schubert cells contained in it. This work builds on, and extends, work of the second and third author on defining ideals of intersections of regular nilpotent Hessenberg varieties with the (open) Schubert cell associated to the Bruhat-longest permutation.

description: ABSTRACTThis paper, which presents an annotated checklist of the ‘lower Nymphalidae’ (Libytheinae, Danainae, Satyrinae, Charaxinae), is the fourth in a series on the butterfly fauna of Mount Kilimanjaro. Four genera of lower Nymphalidae (Danaus, Amauris, Bicyclus, Charaxes), with a total of 11 included species, are known or believed to occur within the main forest zone, from c. 1800 to 2800 m. Of these, only three species of Charaxes (Charaxesberkeleyi, Charaxes ansorgei, Charaxes xiphares) may be restricted locally to this primary forest. The lower slopes fauna, below 1800 m, is considerably richer, with a total of 11 genera and 41 species listed (8 species of which extend into the forest zone). Possible additional species, dubious earlier records, problems with African subspecies of Danaus chrysippus, a need for more work on certain Satyrinae, and classification of the genus Charaxes are discussed. An identification key to the subfamilies of Nymphalidae, and the 19 genera of Libytheinae, Danainae, Satyrinae, Charaxinae that occur in Tanzania, together with a key to the adults of all the species of these four subfamilies considered to occur or have occurred on Kilimanjaro, with 206 colour images, are included as online Supplementary Information.

description: Power system dynamics are generally modeled by high dimensional nonlinear differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) given a large number of components forming the network. These DAEs' complexity can grow exponentially due to the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources, whereas their computation time becomes sensitive due to the increasing interconnection of the power grid with other energy systems. This paper demonstrates the use of quantum computing algorithms to solve DAEs for power system dynamic analysis. We leverage a symbolic programming framework to equivalently convert the power system's DAEs into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using index reduction methods and then encode their data into qubits using amplitude encoding. The system nonlinearity is captured by Hamiltonian simulation with truncated Taylor expansion so that state variables can be updated by a quantum linear equation solver. Our results show that quantum computing can solve the power system's DAEs accurately with a computational complexity polynomial in the logarithm of the system dimension. We also illustrate the use of recent advanced tools in scientific machine learning for implementing complex computing concepts, i.e. Taylor expansion, DAEs/ODEs transformation, and quantum computing solver with abstract representation for power engineering applications.

description: Purpose: We sought to gain a better understanding of the low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR)-induced molecular changes in transformed pre-malignant cells in their microenvironment.Materials and methods: The cellular response to LDIR was compared and contrasted using immortalized human Epstein-Barr virus-infected B-cells (EBV-B) in mono-culture, co-culture with human bone marrow derived stromal cells (MSC), or under the LDIR-induced bystander effect. The resulting alterations in protein and gene expression (including microRNA, miRNA) were evaluated by isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) proteomics assay, western blot, cDNA array and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), respectively.Results: The miRNAs let7a, miR-15b, miR-16, and miR-21, and a lipid metabolic miRNA hub miR-23b, were upregulated after LDIR exposure in the mono-cultured EBV-B cells, but were downregulated in EBV-B cells co-irradiated with MSC. A lipid biosynthesis enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, the common target of these miRNA, was downregulated at the level of protein and mRNA expression in the LDIR-exposed, mono-cultured EBV-B cells and upregulated MSC co-cultured EBV-B cells.Conclusions: These results suggest a putative miRNA regulatory mechanism controlling the LDIR-induced stress response, and illustrate that LDIR exposure, and the cell’s microenvironment, can affect specific gene expression, both directly and indirectly, resulting in altered protein expression.

description: We consider the localization of elastic waves in thin elastic structures with spatially varying curvature profiles, using a curved rod and a singly curved shell as concrete examples. Previous studies on related problems have broadly focused on the localization of flexural waves on such structures. Here, using the semiclassical WKB approximation for multicomponent waves, we show that in addition to flexural waves, extensional and shear waves also form localized, bound states around points where the absolute curvature of the structure has a minimum. We also see excellent agreement between our numerical experiments and the semiclassical results, which hinges on the vanishing of two extra phases that arise in the semiclassical quantization rule. Our findings open up novel ways to fine-tune the acoustic and vibrational properties of thin elastic structures, and raise the possibility of introducing new phenomena not easily captured by effective models of flexural waves alone.

description: Biofertilizers based on processed organic manure are proven alternative to mineral fertilizers. The experiments were carried out in 2009 to 2011 on an organic farm of the Agroecological Centre at the Agricultural University- Plovdiv (Bulgaria). The study included pepper variety „Sofiiska Kapiya”. The biofertilizers Seasol (Earthcare) and Emosan (Hemozym Bio N5) were applied as vegetative feeding on top of two basic fertilizations with the solid biofertilizers Boneprot and Lumbrical. The objectives were to investigate impact of biofertilizers on agroecological conditions for pepper growth and on biological and productive parameters of pepper under organic farming. The investigated parameters were standard yield and economic productivity of plants (i.e. average number of fruits per plant, mass of fruits and pericarp thicknesses). The present study found that treatments with biofertilizers Emosan and Seasol on the basic fertilizations ensured more nutrients in the soil comparison with the single applications of the basic fertilization. It was shown by the agrochemical status of soil,
i.e. at the end of vegetation, a higher total absorbable N after application of the biofertilizer Emosan on basic fertilization with Boneprot was found. Nevertheless, the treatment with biofertilizer Boneprot lead to a higher humus and major nutrient content compared to control (non-fertilized) plants. All treatments showed ‘a good level of supply’ of the soil with К2O. This determines the positive impact of the biofertilization for enrichment of soil with potassium thus assuring a valuable reserve for the next crops. The optimal agroecological conditions
provided by the addition of biofertilizers reflected in higher standard yield of pepper compared to the control plants. The results showed the positive effect of application of biofertilizer Emosan, regardless of the type of basic fertilization. The highest standard yields in all three experimental years were shown by the pepper plants fed with the biofertilizer Emosan on the basic fertilization Lumbrical, i.e. the average increase was 47.2 % compared to the control plants. The biofertilizers applied as single treatments or as combined treatments increased the number of fruits per plant (i.e. 1.5- 4.0 pcs) and the average pericarp thickness of fruits by 0.58 - 1.16 mm. The research findings provide grounds for suggesting the studied bioferilizers as an effective solution for maintaining soil fertility in organic production of pepper.

description: Psoriasis has been linked to an increased risk of several co-morbidities. However, its association with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear. To further characterize this relationship, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of case–control and cross-sectional studies that compared the risk of COPD in patients with psoriasis versus non-psoriasis participants. Generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian and Laird was used to combine all the point estimates. Out of 502 potentially relevant articles, seven studies met our inclusion criteria and were included in the data analysis. The pooled odds ratio of COPD in patients with psoriasis versus control was 1.45 (95% CI, 1.21–1.73). The statistical heterogeneity was high with an I2 of 91%. Therefore, our study provided evidence to support the increased risk of COPD among patients with psoriasis.

description: Measurements of 21cm intensity mapping (IM) during the dark ages can potentially provide us with an unprecedented window on high redshifts and small scales. One of the main advantages this can bring involves the possibility to probe the nature of dark matter. Tests of dark matter models with the large-scale structure of the Universe are limited by non-linearities and astrophysical effects, which are not present for IM measurements during the dark ages. In this paper we focus on constraining the model in which dark matter is comprised, totally or in part, by ultra-light axion-like particles around the $10^{-18}-10^{-22}$ eV mass scale. For this model, the angular power spectrum of 21cm brightness temperature fluctuations will exhibit a small-scale suppression. However, this effect is intertwined with the imprint of baryon-dark matter relative velocity at recombination, causing at the same time an enhancement at large-scales, which is affected by the mass and abundance of axion dark matter. In this work we forecast how future radio arrays will be able to constrain ultra-light axion mass through both these effects on the angular power spectrum.

description: In this work, we investigate spectral complexity and Krylov complexity in quantum billiard systems at finite temperature. We study both circle and stadium billiards as paradigmatic examples of integrable and non-integrable quantum-mechanical systems, respectively. We show that the saturation value and time scale of spectral complexity may be used to probe the non-integrability of the system since we find that when computed for the circle billiard, it saturates at a later time scale compared to the stadium billiards. This observation is verified for different temperatures. Furthermore, we study the Krylov complexity of the position operator and its associated Lanczos coefficients at finite temperature using the Wightman inner product. We find that the growth rate of the Lanczos coefficients saturates the conjectured universal bound at low temperatures. Additionally, we also find that even a subset of the Lanczos coefficients can potentially serve as an indicator of integrability, as they demonstrate erratic behavior specifically in the circle billiard case, in contrast to the stadium billiard. Finally, we also study Krylov entropy and verify its early-time logarithmic relation with Krylov complexity in both types of billiard systems.

title: Kraft- und Ausdauertraining im Schulsport - Eine quasi-experimentelle Studie zu kurz- und mittelfristigen Effekten einer Unterrichtsreihe zur Verbesserung der Fitness
Creators: name: Jünger, Matthias
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: Das Ziel der Studie war es, zu überprüfen, wie sich eine achtwöchige Fitnessintervention im Sportunterricht mit Achtklässlern auf deren Leistungen in verschiedenen motorischen Tests sowie das Kraft- und Ausdauertrainingsverhalten in der Freizeit und die zugehörigen Prädiktorvariablen auswirkt. Zudem wurde der Frage nachgegangen, ob das Leistungsniveau anschließend über einen längeren Zeitraum mithilfe eines Erhaltungstrainings oder lerngebundenen Trainings aufrechterhalten werden kann. Weiterführend sollte überprüft werden, ob ein möglicher Einfluss der Untersuchung auf das Trainingsverhalten und auf die Prädiktorvariablen über den gesamten Untersuchungszeitraum vorliegt. Die derzeitige Studienlage berichtet dementsprechend über einen Abbau der Leistung nach Beendigung von spezifischen Interventionen. Insgesamt nahmen 68 Schüler*innen aus drei Gymnasialklassen über einen Gesamtzeitraum von 22 Wochen im Frühjahr 2014 an der Untersuchung teil. Während dieses Zeitraums wurden vier Messungen vorgenommen. Als Ergebnis lässt sich festhalten, dass die Fitness-Unterrichtsreihe zwar erfolgreich beim Ausbau des Kraftausdauerniveaus, jedoch nicht hinsichtlich des Ausdauerniveaus war. Darüber hinaus konnte das Kraftausdauerniveau lerngebunden mit Hilfe einer Akrobatik-Unterrichtsreihe gehalten und ausgebaut werden. Der Autor folgert daraus, dass im Schulsport das Kraftniveau über einen längeren Zeitraum entwickelt und gehalten werden kann, jedoch für das Ausdauertraining weitere Untersuchungen notwendig sind. Auf der Verhaltensebene wurden hingegen kaum Veränderungen ersichtlich. Weder bei den Prädiktorvariablen noch beim Kraft- und Ausdauertrainingsverhalten in der Freizeit wurden nennenswerte Veränderungen erzielt. Es konnte lediglich eine temporäre, aber nicht überdauernde Verhaltensänderung des Krafttrainingsverhaltens beobachtet werden.

description: Multivariate polynomials are increasingly being used to construct emulators of computer models for uncertainty quantification. For deterministic computer codes, interpolating polynomial metamodels should be used instead of noninterpolating ones for logical consistency and prediction accuracy. However, available methods for constructing interpolating polynomials only provide point predictions. There is no known method that can provide probabilistic statements about the interpolation error. Furthermore, there are few alternatives to grid designs and sparse grids for constructing multivariate interpolating polynomials. A significant disadvantage of these designs is the large gaps between allowable design sizes. This article proposes a stochastic interpolating polynomial (SIP) that seeks to overcome the problems discussed above. A Bayesian approach in which interpolation uncertainty is quantified probabilistically through the posterior distribution of the output is employed. This allows assessment of the effect of interpolation uncertainty on estimation of quantities of interest based on the metamodel. A class of transformed space-filling design and a sequential design approach are proposed to efficiently construct the SIP with any desired number of runs. Simulations demonstrate that the SIP can outperform Gaussian process (GP) emulators. This article has supplementary material online.

description: A unitary and strongly rational vertex operator algebra (VOA) $V$ is called strongly unitary if all irreducible $V$-modules are unitarizable. A strongly unitary VOA $V$ is called completely unitary if for each unitary $V$-modules $W_1$, $W_2$ the canonical nondegenerate Hermitian form on the fusion product $W_1\boxtimes W_2$ is positive. It is known that if $V$ is completely unitary, then the modular category of unitary $V$-modules is unitary [Gui19b], and all simple VOA extensions of V are automatically unitary and moreover completely unitary [Gui22, CGGH23].
 In this paper, we give a geometric characterization of the positivity of the Hermitian product on $W_1$ and $W_2$, which helps us prove that the positivity is always true when the fusion product $W_1\boxtimes W_2$ is an irreducible and unitarizable $V$-module. We give several applications: (1) We show that if $V$ is a unitary (strongly rational) holomorphic VOA with a finite cyclic unitary automorphism group $G$, and if $V^G$ is strongly unitary, then $V^G$ is completely unitary. This result applies to the cyclic permutation orbifolds of unitary holomophic VOAs. (2) We show that if $V$ is unitary and strongly rational, and if $U$ is a simple current extension which is unitarizable as a $V$-module, then $U$ is a unitary VOA.
