description: Recent progress in growth techniques has enabled the fabrication of stacks of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers combined with different nanostructures ranging from other 2D layers over dye molecules to even plasmonic nanoparticles. Such structures promise to combine the optoelectric properties of the constituents allowing to design structures with desired properties. For all of these examples, a detailed knowledge of the coupling among different constituents is crucial. In this article, a unified description is presented based on Maxwell Bloch equations to describe dipolar interactions among different types of heterostructures. Exemplary, Förster-type energy transfer from dye molecules to MoS2 monolayers, strong coupling at MoSe2–metal nanoparticle interfaces, Meitner–Auger-like interlayer coupling in WSe2–graphene stacks, and relaxation processes of hot interlayer excitons in MoSe2–WSe2 heterobilayers are discussed.

description: System maintenance, including omitting an existing system feature e.g. buggy or vulnerable code, or modifying existing features, e.g. replacing them, is still very challenging. To address this problem we introduce the 're-aspect' (re-engineering aspect), inspired from traditional AOP. A re-aspect captures system modification details including signatures of entities to be updated; actions to apply including remove, modify, replace, or inject new code; and code to apply. Re-aspects locate entities to update, entities that will be impacted by the given update, and finally propagate changes on the system source code. We have applied our re-aspects technique to the security re-engineering problem and evaluated it on a set of open source .NET applications to demonstrate its usefulness.

description: Background:Although the common cold is among the most frequent ailments encountered in clinical practice, little is known about its impact on productivity, absenteeism, and daily life.Objective:The United States Attitudes of Consumers Toward Health, Cough, and Cold (ACHOO) survey was developed to inform healthcare providers on patients’ experience of cough/cold. This analysis focuses on the impact of cough/cold on daily activity, productivity, and absenteeism; other results are reported elsewhere.Design:ACHOO was a 36-question online survey.Participants:US adult Internet/mobile device users (N = 3333) were recruited in October 2012. Response quotas modeled on 2010 US Census data ensured a demographically representative sample; 75% of completed surveys were randomized as the primary analysis pool.Main measures:Demographics and impact of cough/cold were reported using means, frequencies, and percentages. Weighted least squares regression or weighted paired t-test were used to identify factors associated with greater impact.Key results:The analysis pool (N = 2505) included 1342 (53.6%) women and 1163 (46.4%) men (mean ages, 46.7 and 45.9 years). A majority (84.7%) had ≥1 cold in the past year. Fifty-two percent said cough/cold impacted daily life a fair amount to a lot. Productivity decreased by a mean 26.4%, and 44.5% of respondents reported work/school absenteeism (usually 1–2 days) during a cold. Overall, 93% of survey participants reported sleep difficulty (slight to extreme) during a cough/cold. Among all respondents, 57% reported cough or nasal congestion as the symptoms making sleep difficult. Higher frequency of colds, more cold symptoms, difficulty sleeping, and worse overall health status correlated with greater impact on productivity, absenteeism, and daily life.Limitations:Study limitations include the potential for recall bias given the retrospective nature of the self-reports. Furthermore, no attempt was made to distinguish treatment effects, if any, from those of the underlying cough/cold.Conclusions:To our knowledge, this is the first large national survey to quantify adverse effects of cough/cold on daily activity, productivity, and absenteeism. Cold- and patient-related characteristics influence the degree of impact.

description: Objective:The Attitudes of Consumers Toward Health, Cough, and Cold (ACHOO) survey was developed to better inform health care providers on the natural history and impact of common cold and cough, and related consumer experience and behaviors.Research design and methods:Randomly selected US Internet/mobile device users were invited to participate in an online survey (N = 3333) in October 2012. Response quotas modeled upon 2010 US Census data ensured a demographically representative sample. To reduce potential bias from the quota design, 75% of the completed surveys were randomly selected as the primary analysis pool.Main outcome measures:Survey questions assessed participant demographics, frequency and duration of cough/cold symptoms, impact of symptoms on daily life, treatment preferences, and knowledge about cough/cold pathophysiology.Results:In the past year, 84.6% of respondents had experienced at least one cold. Colds typically started with sore/scratchy throat (39.2%), nasal congestion (9.8%), and runny nose (9.3%) and lasted 3–7 days. Cough, the most common cold symptom (73.1%), had a delayed onset (typically 1–5 days after cold onset) and a long duration (>6 days in 35.2%). Nasal congestion and cough were the most bothersome symptoms. Many respondents waited until symptoms were ‘bad enough’ (42.6%) or multiple symptoms were present (20.2%) before using nonprescription medications. Drivers of choice included effectiveness in relieving symptoms, safety, and past experience. Respondents rarely consulted clinicians regarding treatment, and more than three-quarters had never received instructions from a clinician on how to choose a nonprescription cough/cold medication. Misperceptions regarding etiology and treatment of the common cold were prevalent. The main limitation is potential recall bias, since respondents had to recall cough/cold episodes over the prior year.Conclusions:The ACHOO survey confirms that cold is a common, bothersome experience and that there are gaps in consumers’ knowledge of pathophysiology and appropriate management of cough/cold.

description: The performance of batteries and the associated operating areas depend, among other things, on the 3D microstructures of the electrode materials, and thus fundamental research is required in the field of electrode design. A multiscale microstructure-resolved 3D model is developed that investigates two different LiFePO4 freeze-casted electrode structures, that is, cellular and lamellar. The microstructure is simulated directly from the X-ray computed tomography data and the nanostructure is combined with the pseudo-2D simulation approach, where the morphological parameters and the distribution of the binder, carbon, and LiFePO4 are obtained from ex situ focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy measurements. The discharge performance shows that the lamellar structure exhibits a lower ohmic overvoltage and achieves a higher gravimetric capacity compared to the cellular structure, even though both electrode materials have the same porosity and amount of active material. The simulation reveals that the performance is not only directly influenced by the lithium-ion transport through the porous structure but also by the current distribution through the active material. Based on these insights, lamellar electrode structures should be considered for next-generation battery electrodes. The modeling approach can assist in electrode fabrication by identifying defects or suggesting better structural parameters.
ETHICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PREGNANT'S DECISION-MAKING PROCESS ABOUT ANOMALIES DETECTED DURING PRENATAL PERIOD
Creators: name: Güven Özbek, Gamze
Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: Ethics, Terminating the Pregnancy, Decision-making Process, Prenatal Diagnosis

description: The present thesis study has been focused on how the women make sense of
 what they experience in the decision-making process about continuing or
 terminating the pregnancy after the prenatal diagnosis. In this process; the
 expression of the problems experienced by residents, and their decision-making
 experiences have been analyzed in terms of medical ethics. Within the scope of
 thesis, it was aimed to create information about the value problems related with
 terminating the pregnancy within the frame of methodology of bioethics discipline.
 In parallel with this objective, it was aimed to explain the "value”, “person”,
 “beginning of life”, “maternal fetal rights” and related concepts.
 The study was carried out as a qualitative field research in order to achieve
 the aim of it. During the thesis, in-depth interviews were conducted with women
 who decided to continue the pregnancy and women who decided to terminate the
 pregnancy. Besides the demographic data of the participants, the survey form was
 prepared to determine experience, behavior, knowledge, and emotions regarding the
 decision-making process. The data obtained from the in-depth interviews were
 evaluated by thematic analysis method.
 The prominent discourses in the interviews were divided into context, main
 theme, and sub-themes. As a result of the evaluation of the data obtained in this
 process, some important information that can be used as basis for justification in
 discussions on terminating the pregnancy, which is a problem in medical ethics,
 were obtained. At the same time, it was also observed that the decision on
 terminating the pregnancy is a personal and difficult decision and the personal
 factors and person’s world of values play determinant role in this decision.
 Analyzing each experience as an idiosyncratic ethic case by considering all
 the processes is important both for revealing the relevant value load and
 establishing a basis for ethical discussions. The present study is an original study
 since it is the first qualitative study carried out on this subject. tu

description: Generic pointers scattered around operating system (OS) kernels make the kernel data layout ambiguous. This limits current kernel integrity checking research to covering a small fraction of kernel data. Hence, there is a great need to obtain an accurate kernel data definition that resolves generic pointer ambiguities, in order to formulate a set of constraints between structures to support precise integrity checking. In this paper, we present KDD, a new tool for systematically generating a sound kernel data definition for any Cbased OS e.g. Windows and Linux, without any prior knowledge of the kernel data layout. KDD performs static points-to analysis on the kernel's source code to infer the appropriate candidate types for generic pointers. We implemented a prototype of KDD and evaluated it to prove its scalability and effectiveness.

description: Objectives. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators that have been shown to be involved in disease susceptibility. Here we explore the possible contribution of common and rare variants in miRNA genes in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Methods. A total of 350 tag SNPs from 163 miRNA genes were genotyped in 636 ASD cases and 673 controls. A replication study was performed in a sample of 449 ASD cases and 415 controls. Additionally, rare variants in 701 miRNA genes of 41 ASD patients were examined using whole-exome sequencing. Results. The most significant association in the discovery sample was obtained for the miR-133b/miR-206 cluster (rs16882131, P = 0.00037). The replication study did not reach significance. However, the pooled analysis (1,085 cases and 1,088 controls) showed association with two miRNA clusters: miR-133b/miR-206 (rs16882131, permP = 0.037) and miR-17/miR-18a/miR-19a/miR-20a/miR-19b-1/miR92a-1 (rs6492538, permP = 0.019). Both miR-133b and miR-206 regulate the MET gene, previously associated with ASD. Rare variant analysis identified mutations in several miRNA genes, among them miR-541, a brain-specific miRNA that regulates SYN1, found mutated in ASD. Conclusions. Although our results do not establish a clear role for miRNAs in ASD, we pinpointed a few candidate genes. Further exome and GWAS studies are warranted to get more insight into their potential contribution to the disorder.

description: Passenger transport has significant externalities, including carbon emissions and air pollution. Public health research has identified additional social gains from active travel, due to the health benefits of physical exercise. Per mile, these benefits greatly exceed the external costs from car use. We introduce active travel into an optimal fuel taxation model and characterize analytically the second‐best optimal fuel tax. We find that accounting for active travel benefits increases the optimal fuel tax by 44% in the USA and 38% in the UK. Fuel taxes should be implemented jointly with other policies aimed at increasing the uptake of active travel.

 España. Publicada en Madrid, durante más de cuarenta años, entre 1916 y 1959, su principal cometido fue la edición de música –tanto original como transcrita– para bandas, hecho que permite aproximarse a la función que este repertorio cumplió en las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Dado lo expuesto, los objetivos del presente artículo, definidos en torno al estudio de la revista Harmonía en el año 1920, son: (1); analizar el tipo de repertorio para banda de música publicado en dichos números de la revista, con especial atención a las transcripciones del repertorio lírico y (2) estudiar las posturas encontradas en cuanto a la actividad realizada por las bandas de música en España. Harmonía is one of the many Spanish music magazines published in Spain during the 20th century.
 Published in Madrid between 1916 and 1959, its main task was the publication of music for bands –original as well as transcribed– making it a valuable source to inform the evaluation of the function met by this repertoire in the early 20th century. In light of this fact, the present article aims to: (1) analyze the music band repertoire published in Harmonía in 1920, with particular attention to the transcriptions of lyrical repertoire; and (2) study the views purveyed by several composers and music critics of the activities of music bands in Spain.

description: The demand for resource saving and recycling of waste materials to achieve a circular economy is increasing. In Europe, nearly all blast furnace slag and fly ash are used as supplementary cementitious material. Furthermore, there is urgent need to reduce the CO2 emissions of building materials industry. Like in OPC-based concretes, the reduction in the binder content by the use of fillers can be a way to reduce the CO2 emissions of alkali-activated binders even further. Therefore, this study aims at the use of industrial residues as a filler in alkali-activated materials to reduce the CO2 emissions of alkali-activated binders. In this study, three industrial residues including municipal solid waste incineration ash (MSWIA), steel slag (SS) and ash formed by the thermal treatment of tar-containing asphalt (EcoF) are used as fillers for alkali-activated binders and are compared with fine quartz powder as an inert reference filler. The binder is ground granulated synthetic slag, which is replaced with the four filler materials at a 32 vol.% replacement level. The samples are reacted with 15 and 25 wt.% NaOH solution. The results show a potential advantage of using SS and EcoF as a filler in concrete as they exhibited a slightly higher compressive strength at all tested ages compared to quartz powder.

description: The construction industry is the world's largest and fastest-growing industry due to the increase in population, standards of living, and the higher demand for infrastructure. This fast growth generates huge amounts of construction and demolition waste (C&D waste), which amounts to more than 25% of the total generated waste, which has become a serious environmental challenge that needs to be addressed. The asbestos content in C&D waste poses a health risk and is entitled to special care, however, disposal of asbestos as hazardous waste is the only option by law. The present paper suggests the selective demolition of asbestos-containing demolished waste rubble to be disposed of in compliance with all local and state regulations and proposes non-asbestos rubble fraction to be recycled as an alternative sustainable management option that mitigates different adverse environmental impacts of the presently used conventional C&D waste management method.

description: In the present age, context-awareness is an important aspect of the dynamic environments and the different types of dynamic context information bring new challenges to access control systems. Therefore, the need for the new access control frameworks to link their decision making abilities with the context-awareness capabilities have become increasingly significant. The main goal of this research is to develop a new access control framework that is capable of providing secure access to information resources or software services in a context-aware manner. Towards this goal, we propose a new semantic policy framework that extends the basic role-based access control (RBAC) approach with both dynamic associations of user-role and role-service capabilities. We also introduce a context model in modelling the basic and high-level context information relevant to access control. In addition, a situation can be determined on the fly so as to combine the relevant states of the entities and the purpose or user's intention in accessing the services. For this purpose, we can propose a situation model in modelling the purpose-oriented situations. Finally we need a policy model that will let the users to access resources or services when certain dynamically changing conditions (using context and situation information) are satisfied.

title: Superfluidity and Superconductivity in Body-centred-cubic and Face-centred-cubic Systems
Creators: name: Adebanjo, Ganiyu D
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2022

description: The microscopic description of phases in strongly correlated systems such as the fullerides (A3C60) is a challenge. In particular, how these strong interactions become attraction leading to a superconducting state remains a mystery. Understanding the mechanism(s) that drive(s) unconventional superconductivity is one of the most sought-after goals in many-body physics and indeed very complex to solve.

 The aim of this thesis is, firstly, to investigate the conditions in which pairing may take place between two electrons in both body-centred cubic (BCC) and face-centred cubic (FCC) systems, and secondly, to examine the possibility for the emergence of a superconducting or superfluid state from paired electrons in three-dimensional (3D) systems. Here, pair properties are studied both in the anti-adiabatic and adiabatic limits.

 In the anti-adiabatic limit, we use a symmetrised approach, group theory analysis, and perturbation theory to exactly solve the two-body problem and analyse the properties of the electron pair. We also examine, using a continuous-time Monte Carlo algorithm (CTQMC), the effects of retarded electron-phonon interactions on the pair properties away from the anti-adiabatic limit. In the high-phonon frequency limit, the CTQMC also serves as a validation check for the anti-adiabatic analytic result and vice-versa (with both results showing perfect agreement). Our result predicts that superfluidity can occur in BCC optical lattices up to a few tens of nanokelvin for fermionic lithium-6 atoms. Additionally, we found that, in the high-frequency limit, a paired state in an FCC lattice can be extremely light and small as compared to paired states on other 3D lattices. Such superlight states are expected to yield high transition temperatures under favourable circumstances. However, when the retardation effects arising from the electron-phonon interaction become important, bound pairs in the BCC lattice become lighter by orders of magnitude in a wide region of the parameter space. We also found significant long-range effects due to the vibration of the alkali ions in the cesium-doped fulleride systems leading to the creation of light pairs in its BCC structure.

description: Simultaneous breaking of inversion- and time-reversal symmetry in Josephson junction leads to a possible violation of the I(ϕ) = −I(−ϕ) equality for the current-phase relation. This is known as anomalous Josephson effect and it produces a phase shift ϕ0 in sinusoidal current-phase relations. In ballistic Josephson junctions with non-sinusoidal current phase relation the observed phenomenology is much richer, including the supercurrent diode effect and the magnetochiral anisotropy of Josephson inductance. In this work, we present measurements of both effects on arrays of Josephson junctions deﬁned on epitaxial Al/InAs heterostructures. We show that the orientation of the current with respect to the lattice affects the magnetochiral anisotropy, possibly as the result of a ﬁnite Dresselhaus component. In addition, we show that the two-fold symmetry of the Josephson inductance reﬂects in the activation energy for phase slips.

description: Recently, data‐driven modeling approaches are getting increasingly examined regarding their applicability for nonlinear mechanical or mechatronic systems. With a high data availability and often insufficiently accurate descriptions of complex behavior of real systems using established physical models, statistical models provide promising alternatives. Alongside machine learning techniques like deep neural networks, sparse regression is increasingly used to obtain models from measurement data. With sparse regression, governing equations are estimated from a given function space so that the data are explained with as few terms as possible while maintaining a low model error. This method is implemented in a framework called sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics. This paper demonstrates the application of this method on free and forced vibrations of a two degree of freedom nonlinear rotary oscillator with two stable equilibrium positions. The setup and data acquisition as well as the application of sparse identification are described. The selected function space containing the candidate functions is essential for an accurate representation of the system at hand. Monomials form a commonly used function space because they can approximate a wide variety of nonlinear characteristics. However, in this work, it is shown that monomials alone are insufficient when dry friction appears. Therefore, to account for Coulomb friction, a sign‐function is added as a candidate to the function space of monomials up to the fifth order. Adaptions of the common optimization algorithms turned out to be necessary for the inclusion of Coulomb friction. As a result, it is found that the addition of the sign‐function for Coulomb friction increases the model quality significantly.

description: Excerpts from the report: In 1960, there were about 128 physicians and surgeons for every 100,000 persons in the United States. The ratio was 178 in central cities of metropolitan areas, and only 52 in the rural areas. The ratio of dentists to population was 60 in urban areas, and only 22 in rural areas. With the exceptions of occupations of clergyman and public school teacher, and of those typically rural, such as veterinarian and farm and heme management advisor, professional workers were concentrated in the urban areas of the United States. For example, although rural residents comprised about 30 percent of the population of the United States in 1960, only 12 percent of all physicians and surgeons, 18 percent of professional nurses, and 14 percent of pharmacists were living in rural areas. These figures are derived from: U. S. Bureau of the Census. U. S. Census of Population: 1960. Subject Reports. Characteristics of Professional Workers. Final Report PC (2)-7E, 1964. The data are based on a 5-percent sample of census tabulations and therefore are subject to sampling variability

description: Machine learning ensembles combine multiple base models to produce a more accurate output. They can be applied to a range of machine learning problems, including anomaly detection. In this paper, we investigate how to maximize the composability and scalability of an FPGA-based streaming ensemble anomaly detector (fSEAD). To achieve this, we propose a flexible computing architecture consisting of multiple partially reconfigurable regions, pblocks, which each implement anomaly detectors. Our proof-of-concept design supports three state-of-the-art anomaly detection algorithms: Loda, RS-Hash and xStream. Each algorithm is scalable, meaning multiple instances can be placed within a pblock to improve performance. Moreover, fSEAD is implemented using High-level synthesis (HLS), meaning further custom anomaly detectors can be supported. Pblocks are interconnected via an AXI-switch, enabling them to be composed in an arbitrary fashion before combining and merging results at run-time to create an ensemble that maximizes the use of FPGA resources and accuracy. Through utilizing reconfigurable Dynamic Function eXchange (DFX), the detector can be modified at run-time to adapt to changing environmental conditions. We compare fSEAD to an equivalent central processing unit (CPU) implementation using four standard datasets, with speed-ups ranging from $3\times$ to $8\times$.

description: Port‐Hamiltonian systems provide an energy‐based formulation with a model class that is closed under structure preserving interconnection. For continuous‐time systems, these interconnections are constructed by geometric objects called Dirac structures. In this paper, we derive this geometric formulation and the interconnection properties for scattering passive discrete‐time port‐Hamiltonian systems.

description: The advance of nanophotonics has provided a variety of avenues for light-matter interaction at the nanometer scale through the enriched mechanisms for physical and chemical reactions induced by nanometer-confined optical probes in nanocomposite materials. These emerging nanophotonic devices and materials have enabled researchers to develop disruptive methods of tremendously increasing the storage capacity of current optical memory. In this paper, we present a review of the recent advancements in nanophotonics-enabled optical storage techniques. Particularly, we offer our perspective of using them as optical storage arrays for next-generation exabyte data centers.

description: Macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) and Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa) have an impressive mechanical resistance. To better understand the key structural features and foam-like deformation behavior, mechanical compression tests coupled with numerical finite element simulations are performed. Models with different degrees of structural complexity highlight the effects of geometry where even small changes strongly influence the stress distribution and deformation behavior. Circumferential tensile stresses play a vital role in the failure process. Voids or vascular bundles in the shell wall redistribute stresses and bolster the overall strength of structures by preventing early crack propagation. The void arrangement has the potential to inspire the design of lightweight materials with strategically incorporated porosity, leading to improved mechanical performance. Linear elastic models, despite their oversimplification, are valuable for gaining crucial insights about the influence of geometry. The mechanical behavior is further influenced to different extents by isotropy and orthotropy. The distinctive architecture of nutshells offers valuable insights into the design of composite structures with controlled failure, capable of withstanding high compression loads combining foam-like behavior and fibrous layers.

description: The quality (Q) factor and tunability of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like effect in plasmonic systems are restrained by the intrinsic loss and weak adjustability of metals, limiting the performance of the devices including optical sensor and storage. Exploring new schemes to realize the high Q-factor and tunable EIT-like effect is particularly significant in plasmonic systems. Here, we present an ultrahigh Q-factor and flexibly tunable EIT-like response in a novel plasmonic system. The results illustrate that the induced transparency distinctly appears when surface plasmon polaritons excited on the metal satisfy the wavevector matching condition with the guided mode in the high-refractive index (HRI) layer. The Q factor of the EIT-like spectrum can exceed 2000, which is remarkable compared to that of other plasmonic systems such as plasmonic metamaterials and waveguides. The position and lineshape of EIT-like spectrum are strongly dependent on the geometrical parameters. An EIT pair is generated in the splitting absorption spectra, which can be easily controlled by adjusting the incident angle of light. Especially, we achieve the dynamical tunability of EIT-like spectrum by changing the Fermi level of graphene inserted in the system. Our results will open a new avenue toward the plasmonic sensing, spectral shaping and switching.

description: In this study, we delve into the intricacies of elastoviscoplastic (EVP) fluids, particularly focusing on how polymer additives influence their extensional behavior. Our findings reveal that polymer additives significantly alter the extensional properties of the EVP fluids, such as relaxation time and extensional stresses, while having negligible impact on the shear rheology. Interestingly, the modified fluids exhibit a transition from yield stress-like behavior to viscoelastic-like behavior under high extensional rates, ultimately leading to destabilization under extreme deformation. This research enhances the fundamental understanding of EVP fluids and highlights potential advancements in applications, especially in precision-demanding fields like 3D printing.

description: In local hybrid functionals (LHs), a local mixing function (LMF) determines the position-dependent exact-exchange admixture. We report new LHs that focus on an improvement of the LMF in the core region while retaining or partly improving upon the high accuracy in the valence region exhibited by the LH20t functional. The suggested new pt-LMFs are based on a Padé form and modify the previously used ratio between von Weizsäcker and Kohn–Sham local kinetic energies by different powers of the density to enable flexibly improved approximations to the correct high-density and iso-orbital limits relevant for the innermost core region. Using TDDFT calculations for a set of K-shell core excitations of second- and third-period systems including accurate state-of-the-art relativistic orbital corrections, the core part of the LMF is optimized, while the valence part is optimized as previously reported for test sets of atomization energies and reaction barriers (Haasler et al., J Chem Theory Comput 2020, 16, 5645). The LHs are completed by a calibration function that minimizes spurious nondynamical correlation effects caused by the gauge ambiguities of exchange-energy densities, as well as by B95c meta-GGA correlation. The resulting LH23pt functional relates to the previous LH20t functional but specifically improves upon the core region.
