description: Trigger warnings alert trauma survivors about potentially disturbing forthcoming content. However, empirical studies on trigger warnings suggest that they are functionally inert or cause small adverse side effects. We conducted a preregistered replication and extension of a previous experiment. Trauma survivors (n = 451) were randomly assigned to either receive or not receive trigger warnings prior to reading passages from world literature. We found no evidence that trigger warnings were helpful for trauma survivors, for those who self-reported a PTSD diagnosis, or for those who qualified for probable PTSD, even when survivors' trauma matched the passages' content. We found substantial evidence that trigger warnings countertherapeutically reinforce survivors' view of their trauma as central to their identity. Regarding replication hypotheses, the evidence was either ambiguous or substantially favored the hypothesis that trigger warnings have no effect. In summary, we find that trigger warnings are not helpful for trauma survivors.

description: In this paper we apply the tools of the dynamical systems theory in order to uncover the whole asymptotic structure of the vacuum interactions of a galileon model with a cubic derivative interaction term. It is shown that, contrary to what occurs in the presence of background matter, the galileon interactions of vacuum appreciably modify the late-time cosmic dynamics. In particular, a local late-time attractor representing phantom behavior arises which is inevitably associated with a big rip singularity. It seems that the gravitational interactions of the background matter with the galileon screen the effects of the gravitational self-interactions of the galileon, thus erasing any potential modification of the late-time dynamics by the galileon vacuum processes. Unlike other galileon models inspired in the DGP scenario, self-accelerating solutions do not arise in this model.

description: Momenta of charmonia created in Pb-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider are so large that three or more mesons may be produced when the charmonia collide with light mesons in hadronic matter. We study the meson-charmonium collision in a mechanism where the collision produces two quarks and two antiquarks, the charm quark then fragmenting into charmed mesons, and the other three constituents as well as quarks and antiquarks created from vacuum give rise to two or more mesons. The absolute square of the transition amplitude for the production of two quarks and two antiquarks is derived from the $S$-matrix element, and cross-section formulas are derived from the absolute square of the transition amplitude and charm-quark fragmentation functions. With a temperature-dependent quark potential, we calculate unpolarized cross sections for inclusive $D^+$, $D^0$, $D^+_s$, or $D^{*+}$ production in scattering of charmonia by $π$, $ρ$, $K$, or $K^\ast$ mesons. At low center-of-mass energies of the charmonium and the light meson, the cross sections are very small. At high energies the cross sections have obvious temperature dependence, and are comparable to peak cross sections of two-to-two meson-charmonium reactions.

description: We systematically investigate the microlensing effect of charged spherically symmetric wormhole, where the light source is remote from the throat. Remarkably, there will be at most three images by considering the charge part. We study all situations including three images, two images, and one image, respectively. The numerical result shows that the range of total magnification is from $10^5$ to $10^{-2}$ depending on various metrics. In the case of three images, there will be two maximal values of magnification (a peak, and a gentle peak) when the contribution via mass is much less than that of charge. However, we cannot distinguish the case that forms three images or only one image as the total magnification is of order $10^5$. Finally, our theoretical investigation could shed new light on exploring the wormhole with the microlensing effect.

description: Ever since Main et al. (1985)’s discovery that parents’ attachment representations are associated with parent-child attachment, the intergenerational transmission of attachment has intrigued researchers across the globe. Research has focused on sensitive caregiver behavior as the mediating mechanism through which a parent’s attachment state of mind expresses itself leading to child-parent attachment, but meta-analytic evidence showed that sensitive responsiveness explained only 25% of the intergenerational association (Van IJzendoorn, 1995; Verhage et al., 2016). Solving this so-called ‘transmission gap’ has been a major focus of the last two decades, but adding mediating variables has not brought the field closer to a solution for closing this gap. A possible explanation is that the mediating pathway may differ between parent-child dyads based on the differential susceptibility hypothesis that children are not all equally susceptible to their rearing environment (Ellis et al., 2011). This hypothesis states that some children are more susceptible to their environment than others based on their genetic make-up or on temperamental characteristics, mostly negative emotionality. Thus, the current study aims to examine the moderating role of individual differences in child negative emotionality in the intergenerational transmission of attachment.
Pair density wave and loop current promoted by van Hove singularities in moiré systems

description: We theoretically show that in the presence of conventional or higher order van Hove singularities(VHS), the bare finite momentum pairing, also known as the pair density wave (PDW), susceptibility can be promoted to the same order of the most divergent bare BCS susceptibility through a valley-contrasting flux 3$ϕ$ in each triangular plaquette at $ϕ=\fracπ{3}$ and $ϕ=\fracπ{6}$ in moiré systems. This makes the PDW order a possible leading instability for an electronic system with repulsive interactions. We confirm that it indeed wins over all other instabilities and becomes the ground state under certain conditions through the renormalization group calculation and a flux insertion argument. Moreover, we also find that a topological nontrivial loop current order becomes the leading instability if the Fermi surface with conventional VHS is perfectly nested at $ϕ=\fracπ{3}$. Similar to the Haldane model, this loop current state has the quantum anomalous Hall effect. If we dope this loop current state or introduce a finite next-nearest neighbour hopping $t^{\prime}$, the chiral $d$-wave PDW becomes the dominant instability. Experimentally, the flux can be effectively tuned by an out-of-plane electric field in moiré systems based on graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides.

Progress in the Search for Tobacco Alternatives
Creators: name: Evers, Kathy

Year: 1982

description: Arnie Katz wants North Carolina tobacco farmers to start thinking about sweet potatoes. As a staff member of the North Carolina Land Trustees (a nonprofit Durham based group), Katz is busy exploring alternatives to tobacco production. The sweet potato is just one of many vegetables and even fruits that can be grown successfully in the Piedmont area. Katz's interest stems from fears over the future of the federal tobacco program, under which producers are guaranteed both a price and a market for their tobacco crops. It is very likely that major changes, including lower price support levels, will be made in the tobacco program within the next year. The primary problem in switching from tobacco to other crops is marketing. Only tobacco offers the safety of a guaranteed market. One of the most profitable alternatives, vegetable and fruit production, is hampered by a complex marketing system of centralized terminal markets and brokers. This system is a difficult one for an independent farmer to break into and get crops marketed.

Finite-frequency spin conductance of a ferro-/ferrimagnetic-insulator|normal-metal interface

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: The interface between a ferro-/ferrimagnetic insulator and a normal metal can support spin currents polarized collinear with and perpendicular to the magnetization direction. The flow of angular momentum perpendicular to the magnetization direction ("transverse" spin current) takes place via spin torque and spin pumping. The flow of angular momentum collinear with the magnetization ("longitudinal" spin current) requires the excitation of magnons. In this article we extend the existing theory of longitudinal spin transport [Bender and Tserkovnyak, Phys. Rev. B 91, 140402(R) (2015)] in the zero-frequency weak-coupling limit in two directions: We calculate the longitudinal spin conductance non-perturbatively (but in the low-frequency limit) and at finite frequency (but in the limit of low interface transparency). For the paradigmatic spintronic material system YIG|Pt, we find that non-perturbative effects lead to a longitudinal spin conductance that is ca. 40% smaller than the perturbative limit, whereas finite-frequency corrections are relevant at low temperatures < 100 K only, when only few magnon modes are thermally occupied.

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Numerical simulations have shown that the X-shaped structure in the Milky Way bulge can naturally arise from the bar instability and buckling instability. To understand the influence of the buckling amplitude on the morphology of the X-shape, we analyze three self-consistent numerical simulations of barred galaxies with different buckling amplitudes (strong, intermediate and weak). We derive the three-dimensional density with an adaptive kernel smoothing technique. The face-on iso-density surfaces are all elliptical, while in the edge-on view, the morphology of buckled bars transitions with increasing radius, from a central boxy core to a peanut bulge and then to an extended thin bar. Based on these iso-density surfaces at different density levels, we find no clear evidence for a well-defined structure shaped like a letter X. The X-shaped structure is more peanut-like, whose visual perception is probably enhanced by the pinched inner concave iso-density contours. The peanut bulge can reproduce qualitatively the observed bimodal distributions which were used as evidence for the discovery of the X-shape. The central boxy core is shaped like an oblong tablet, extending to $\sim$ 500 pc above and below the Galactic plane ($|b| \sim 4^\circ$). From the solar perspective, lines of sight passing through the central boxy core do not show bimodal distributions. This generally agrees with the observations that the double peaks merge at $|b| \sim 4^\circ - 5^\circ$ from the Galactic plane, indicating the presence of a possibly similar structure in the Galactic bulge.

Subjects: subject: tungsten heavy alloy
subject: thermophysical properties
subject: heat treatment

description: Tungsten heavy metal composites (WHA) have been in development for a long time as the high density and the high melting point of tungsten make these composites interesting for high-temperature applications. In this work, materials with Ni/Fe, Ni/Fe/Mo and Ni/Cu binder were investigated. These materials are already well studied, however, properties, such as specific electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, saturation magnetization and Young's modulus should be further improved. Moreover, as seen in [1], thermal and electrical conductivity do not fit together, which is why further investigations on this relationship was done in this thesis.The aforementioned properties may be infuenced in two ways. One attempt is to address the interface between tungsten particles and the matrix and the other attempt is to infuence the binder itself. This was executed with different heat treatment schemes. The binder samples were produced with powder hot extrusion. The microstructures were analysed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In addition, tensile tests were carried out to detect possible segregation effects at the grain boundaries. Furthermore, the validity of the Wiedemann-Franz law was tested on binder materials. For this purpose, the electrical conductivity of the binder materials was measured between 4.2K and room temperature. The properties of WHAs were mainly changed by annealing the samples at temperatures from 1000 °C and annealing times of 20 h or 120 h. A correlation between the thermal and electrical conductivity is hardly discernible in WHAs. Kinetic effects are particularly effective with the material IT180. Hot extrusion made it possible to produce non-porous binder materials. SEM images of binder materials show that further heat treatment causes tungsten to dissolve in the binder. No major infuence of different heat treatments can be seen in the binder materials. The Wiedemann-Franz law does not seem to apply to this binder materials.

Turbulent Reacceleration of Streaming Cosmic Rays

description: Subsonic, compressive turbulence transfers energy to cosmic rays (CRs), a process known as non-resonant reacceleration. It is often invoked to explain observed ratios of primary to secondary CRs at $\sim \rm GeV$ energies, assuming wholly diffusive CR transport. However, such estimates ignore the impact of CR self-confinement and streaming. We study these issues in stirring box magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations using Athena++, with field-aligned diffusive and streaming CR transport. For diffusion only, we find CR reacceleration rates in good agreement with analytic predictions. When streaming is included, reacceleration rates depend on plasma $β$. Due to streaming-modified phase shifts between CR and gas variables, they are slower than canonical reacceleration rates in low-$β$ environments like the interstellar medium (ISM) but remain unchanged in high-$β$ environments like the intracluster medium (ICM). We also quantify the streaming energy loss rate in our simulations. For sub-Alfvénic turbulence, it is resolution-dependent (hence unconverged in large scale simulations) and heavily suppressed -- by an order of magnitude -- compared to the isotropic loss rate $v_{A} \cdot \nabla P_{\rm CR} / P_{\rm CR} \sim v_{A}/L_{0}$, due to misalignment between the mean field and isotropic CR gradients. Counterintuitively, and unlike acceleration efficiencies, CR losses are almost independent of magnetic field strength over $β\sim 1-100$ and are, therefore, not the primary factor behind lower acceleration rates when streaming is included. While this paper is primarily concerned with how turbulence affects CRs, in a follow-up paper (Bustard and Oh, in prep), we consider how CRs affect turbulence by diverting energy from the MHD cascade, altering the pathway to gas heating and steepening the turbulent power spectrum.

The power factor increased with increasing concentration of Se, i.e., Se substitution led to an enhanced electrical conductivity, without suppression of the Seebeck coefficient. Hall measurements indicated that the low electrical resistivity resulted from increases in the carrier mobility, and the decrease in carrier concentration led to large absolute values of the Seebeck coefficient of the system.

description: The Russia-Ukraine conflict erupted in February 2022 after the Kremlin recognized the independence of the breakaway popular republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. In the aftermath of the recognition of the sovereignty of these entities, the Russian armed forces invaded Ukraine under the justification of the demilitarization and denazification of the neighboring country, as well as to bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians in the Donbass, including against Russian citizens. Soon after, the international community and the mainstream media began a worldwide campaign against the Russian military action, sympathizing with the government of Kiev. Although Russia is well-known for its information capabilities—whether propaganda, disinformation, or counter-information—the Kremlin appears to have overestimated its ability to wage effective information operations or underestimated the impact of Western brainwashing on public opinion. In addition, the Ukrainian leadership has effectively managed to counter the grounds on which the Russian government has supported its "special military operation." Ukrainian President Zelensky gained the trust, sympathy, and solidarity of Western leaders, the media, and public opinion, presenting his country as the victim of an unjustified aggression. On the other hand, Russian President Putin, excluded from the public debate due to the European Union ban on Russian media, was perceived by the same audience as a gangster. Is this the whole truth, or is there something more beyond the mainstream narrative? This paper aims to offer a factual analysis and a different perspective from the mainstream narrative supported and spread by Western governments and biased media outlets.

Using a sample of 70 spiral galaxies, we perform a preliminary analysis of $j_t$, and introduce a new quantity, e.g., areal density of angular momentum (ADAM) ($j_t~M_\star/4R_d^2$) as an indication for the existence of jet in spiral galaxies. The percentage of spiral galaxies having jet(s) shows strong correlation with the ADAM, although the present sample is incomplete.

description: Measurements of magnetotransport in SnTe/PbTe heterojunctions grown by the MBE technique on (001) undoped CdTe substrates were performed. At low magnetic fields, quantum corrections to conductivity were observed that may be attributed to the presence of topological states at the junction interface. For a sample with 5 nm thick SnTe layer, the data analysis suggests that midgap states are actually gapped. However, the phase coherence effects in 10 nm and 20 nm SnTe/PbTe samples are fully explained assuming existence of gapless Dirac cones. Magnetotransport at higher magnetic fields is described in the framework of mobility spectrum analysis (MSA). We demonstrate that the electron- and hole-like peaks observed simultaneously for all SnTe/PbTe heterojunctions may originate from the concave and convex parts of the energy isosurface for topological states -- and not from the existence of quasiparticles both carrying negative and positive charges. This interpretation is supported by numerical calculations of conductivity tensor components for gapless (100) Dirac cones, performed within a classical model and based on the solutions of Boltzmann transport equation. Our approach shows the feasibility of MSA in application to magnetotransport measurements on topological matter.

description: Brief planning news articles, including: Smart Growth Network: The federal government is working to improve development with a new partnership program called the Smart Growth Network, which was officially launched in July 1996 by the US EPA's Urban and Economic Development Division (UEDD). The Network grew largely out of UEDD's work with the Sustainable Communities Task Force of the President's Council on Sustainable Development. Accordingly, they have adopted the motto, "Metropolitan development that serves economy, community and environment." The dollar symbol in "Smart Growth" is indicative of the program's emphasis on fiscally as well as environmentally responsible development.; Web Search: Data Resources for Planners: list of websites helpful for planners; Organizational Profile: Sustainable America: Sustainable America (SA) is a recently created national nonprofit organization with a geographically and racially diverse membership. SA's mission is to serve as a catalyst for a variety of activities that support: (1) diverse and strong local and regional economies; (2) sustainable resource use; (3) good jobs with family supporting wages; and (4) community control and intelligent leadership to shepherd a range of institutional innovation, public policy changes, and economic development strategies aimed at creating economies that serve current and future generations.

Year: 1985

description: The state of the art in using development management strategies to reduce hurricane hazards is explored through a 1984 survey of hurricane-prone localities in 19 states. Contrary to some of the hazard mitigation literature, results show not only a high priority for hazard mitigation but also a high reliance on development management approaches, as compared with building, strengthening, and environmental alteration.

description: We introduce a new method to compute plant distribution in Ethiopia under paleoclimatic conditions using fuzzy logic. Using a published map of the potential vegetation for Ethiopia we decipher the boundary conditions for the main vegetation units shown, reflecting modern climatic conditions for temperature and precipitation in this region. Fuzzy logic using these climatic values on a GIS platform then derived the computational map of the potential vegetation. Comparing it with the original map shows a general correspondence of about 90%. By changing the underlying climate parameters, we then used this model for hypothetical paleoclimatic conditions to simulate the vegetational response on these changed climate settings. Finally, vegetational response maps for Ethiopia are presented for two scenarios: (i) a colder and drier condition (such as the Last Glacial Maximum) and (ii) a warmer and wetter condition (such as the last interglacial) than today.

description: For the past decade, development of a major arts complex has been underway in downtown Winston- Salem, North Carolina. The project is unique in two ways. First, it represents a pioneering effort to employ the arts in the central city revitalization process. Second, it illustrates the importance of cooperation in effecting redevelopment objectives. In Winston-Salem, government, corporations, universities and non-profit organizations worked diligently and enthusiastically to create a new arts center for the community and the state. The project is a model of innovative economic development planning; it is an example of an effective public-private partnership.

description: Unsupervised learning of latent variable models (LVMs) is widely used to represent data in machine learning. When such models reflect the ground truth factors and the mechanisms mapping them to observations, there is reason to expect that they allow generalization in downstream tasks. It is however well known that such identifiability guaranties are typically not achievable without putting constraints on the model class. This is notably the case for nonlinear Independent Component Analysis, in which the LVM maps statistically independent variables to observations via a deterministic nonlinear function. Several families of spurious solutions fitting perfectly the data, but that do not correspond to the ground truth factors can be constructed in generic settings. However, recent work suggests that constraining the function class of such models may promote identifiability. Specifically, function classes with constraints on their partial derivatives, gathered in the Jacobian matrix, have been proposed, such as orthogonal coordinate transformations (OCT), which impose orthogonality of the Jacobian columns. In the present work, we prove that a subclass of these transformations, conformal maps, is identifiable and provide novel theoretical results suggesting that OCTs have properties that prevent families of spurious solutions to spoil identifiability in a generic setting.
