Tayma, Saudi Arabia. An Early Bronze Age Domestic Context in the Center of the Settlement. Season 2022
Creators: name: Lora, Sebastiano
Publisher: name: e-Forschungsberichte
Year: 2023

description: As part of the publication of the results of the long-term project (DFG) of the Orient Department in the Tayma Oasis (Saudi Arabia), the archaeological contexts of the Early Bronze Age (3rd millennium BCE) in the centre of the ancient settlement are reviewed and prepared for publication. The contribution deals with ­architectural contexts of domestic character. The reconstructed stratigraphic sequence offers important clues to the pottery chronology of Tayma and to the way of life at the time of early oasis cultivation. The work was supported by a research grant from the DAI.

description: Der Artikel nimmt Bezug auf neueste empirische Befunde zur "Arbeitskraftunternehmer"-These, die vor allen bei gut qualifizierten Frauen entsprechende Erwerbsorientierungen feststellen. Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller betrieblicher Reorganisationsprozesse wird dieses Ergebnis diskutiert und nach seinen möglichen Ursachen befragt. Dabei wird Bezug genommen auf eigene Befunde zu Erwerbsorientierungen von Frauen in betrieblichen Transformationsprozessen. Deutlich wird die in erster Linie strukturelle Rahmung dieser sehr ähnlichen Erwerborientierungen. Dies wird mit der aktuellen Diskussion um "Subjektivierung von Arbeit" in Verbindung gesetzt. Gefragt wird nach dem Zusammenhang mit dem Geschlechterverhältnis sowie nach Implikationen hinsichtlich sozialer Ungleichheit. Im Ergebnis wird zum einen deutlich, dass äußerlich ähnliche Erwerbsorientierungen sehr unterschiedliche gesellschaftliche Voraussetzungen haben können, die sich besonders auf die Gestaltung des Zusammenhangs von Arbeit und Leben beziehen. Zum anderen deutet sich eine zunehmende Polarisierung von Frauen entlang von Qualifikation und Lebensform an, die letztlich auch vor Männern nicht halt machen muss.

description: Several experiments conducted with the contextual cueing paradigm manipulate selective attention by asking participants to pay attention to stimuli presented in just one colour. In the present study we put to the test the hypothesis that participants might still be paying a residual amount of attention to stimuli presented in the "irrelevant" colour. This has important implications for the interpretation of previous results concluding that selective attention might not be necessary for contextual cuing.

description: Anforderungen an die Führung virtueller Teams und die Effekte von Führungs- und Kommunikationsverhalten auf Teamleistung und soziale Prozesse im Team wurden in mündlichen und schriftlichen Befragungen von 29 Führungskräften sowie schriftlicher Befragung ihrer verteilt arbeitenden Teams (N=134) erfasst. Es zeigte sich, dass sowohl moderne Führungskonzepte wie Empowering Leadership als auch traditionelle Ansätze wie die direktive Führung in den mentalen Modellen der Führungskräfte nebeneinander existieren und selten als widersprüchlich erkannt werden. Anliegen vieler Führungskräfte ist es, situationsangemessen auf verschiedene Führungsstile zurückgreifen zu können. Vor allem in stark verteilten Teams scheint dies eine erfolgversprechende Strategie zu sein. Differenzen in der Wahrnehmung sozialer Prozesse zwischen Vorgesetzten und Mitarbeitenden stehen in negativem Zusammenhang zur Leistung, was die Bedeutsamkeit gemeinsamer mentaler Modelle der Team- und Führungssituation aufzeigt. Von den Führungskräften wurde ein breites Spektrum an Medien situations- und aufgabenangemessen eingesetzt. Es fand sich auch ein positiver Zusammenhang zwischen dem Virtualitätsgrad der Teams und der Kommunikationsqualität.

description: In the second season of systematic investigations in the cemeteries of Rujum Sa‘sa‘ south of the Tayma Oasis, interdisciplinary research by archaeologists and bioarchaeologists on built tombs of the Early to Middle Bronze Age (3rd and 2nd millennia BC) continued. In addition to the seven graves excavated in the previous season, 11 circular graves were investigated for the first time and bioarchaeological analysis of the human bone material continued. One of the most important results is that the circular graves show a greater architectural diversity than previously expected, indicating a pronounced ­social differentiation. For the first time, a structure known as a ›pendant‹ or ›keyhole‹ was excavated in Tayma amidst the circular graves.

description: Stomach cancer is the 5th most common cancer worldwide. It is the 4th most common cancer in men and the 7th most common cancer in women . Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is a growth of cells that starts in the stomach. In gastric cancer, malignant (cancer) cells form in the lining of the stomach. Age, diet, and stomach disease can affect the risk of developing gastric cancer. There were more than 1 million new cases of stomach cancer in 2020. Mongolia, Japan, South Korea, Tajikistan and China are among the top 10 countries with the highest rates of gastric cancer. Mongolia had the highest overall rate of stomach cancer in 2020, followed by Japan (Table 1). There is evidence that the following are associated with an increased risk of stomach cancer: smoking, Helicobacter pylori infection and industrial chemical exposure [4]. There is also strong evidence that consuming alcoholic drinks, salt-preserved foods and being overweight or obese increases the risk of gastric cancer. Additionally, there is some evidence that consumption of grilled or barbecued meat and fish and processed meat might increase the risk of stom ach cancer.
Characterization of III-V alloys and plasmonic structures for use in infrared detectors and optoelectronic devices

Photodetectors

description: Photodetectors operating in the mid-infrared wavelength range have traditionally been dominated by the HgCdTe (MCT) material system. However, there has been growing interest in other materials due to environmental concerns regarding the toxicity of both mercury and cadmium, as well as issues with the non-uniformity of MCT epitaxial growth and minimal MCT fabrication infrastructure, compared to that of traditional arsenic- and antimony-based III-V material systems. One such example is the type-II superlattice (T2SL), which has shown great potential due to its theoretically predicted advantages such as suppressed Auger recombination, as well as for its bandgap flexibility. Yet at longer wavelengths, superlattices show weaker absorption coefficients compared to bulk materials. One option to address this deficiency is to utilize optical engineering to overcome the decreased absorption of T2SLs at these wavelengths, leveraging phenomena such as plasmonic structures. Highly doped semiconductors can act as plasmonic materials in the mid-infrared, allowing for monolithic integration of these materials into optoelectronic device structures. In this work, several all-epitaxial structures are discussed, highlighting the capabilities of integrated highly doped semiconductor materials, as well as the potential of T2SLs as an absorber material, for next generation infrared photodetectors. The first example is an all-epitaxial dielectric-metal-dielectric structure capable of supporting long-range surface plasmon polaritons in the long-wave infrared, with type-II superlattices (T2SLs) utilized as the dielectric layers in this structure. Additionally, a thin long-wave infrared p-i-n detector designed for enhanced absorption at band-edge, utilizing a guided mode resonance, is investigated. Furthermore, a detector operating at 180K in the long-wave infrared, utilizing a resonant cavity, and configured for focal plane arrays, is demonstrated. The absorption peak for this detector can be spectrally tuned across the long wave infrared wavelength range by changing the total cavity thickness, and experimental results show an external quantum efficiency of 25% on resonance at 10.8µm. Another possible alternative to the HgCdTe material system is a quaternary alloy such as InAsSbBi, which also offers large design flexibility without a weaker absorption coefficient. The potential of InAsSbBi as an absorber material for infrared detectors is also investigated, through photoluminescence and minority carrier lifetime measurements. Finally, future work and potential new directions for these projects are discussed. In particular, possible methods to improve the optical and electrical characteristics of the resonant cavity enhanced detectors are included.

description: When studying social dilemma games, a crucial question arises regarding the impact of general heterogeneity on cooperation, which has been shown to have positive effects in numerous studies. Here, we demonstrate that heterogeneity in the contribution value for the focal Public Goods Game can jeopardize cooperation. We show that there is an optimal contribution value in the homogeneous case that most benefits cooperation depending on the lattice. In a heterogeneous scenario, where strategy and contribution coevolve, cooperators making contributions higher than the optimal value end up harming those who contribute lower. This effect is notably detrimental to cooperation in the square lattice with von Neumann neighborhood, while it can have no impact in others lattices. Furthermore, in parameter regions where a higher-contributing cooperator cannot normally survive alone, the exploitation of lower value contribution cooperators allows their survival, resembling a parasitic behavior. To obtain these results, we employed various distributions for the contribution values in the initial condition and conducted Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Widefield stochastic microscopy techniques such as PALM or STORM rely on the progressive accumulation of a large number of frames, each containing a scarce number of super-resolved point images. We justify that the redundancy in the localization of detected events imposes a specific limit on the temporal resolution. Based on a theoretical model, we derive analytical predictions for the minimal time required to obtain a reliable image at a given spatial resolution, called image completion time. In contrast to standard assumptions, we find that the image completion time scales logarithmically with the ratio of the image size by the spatial resolution volume. We justify that this non-linear relation is the hallmark of a random coverage problem. We propose a method to estimate the risk that the image reconstruction is not complete, which we apply to an experimental data set. Our results provide a theoretical framework to quantify the pattern detection efficiency and to optimize the trade-off between image coverage and acquisition time, with applications to $1$, $2$ or $3$ dimension structural imaging.

The Trend and level of Squatter Settlement in Burayu City

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The first dilemma that millions of poor in urban areas of the developing world face and which is likely to persist for a long period was the question of adequate housing. In this regard, 70 percent of the urban population of Ethiopia is living in slums and squatter settlements. This research study was focus on the trend of squatter settlements in Burayu city in Oromiya National Regional State, Ethiopia. The research tries to identify the practices of squatting and assess the local government responses in Burayu city. By the combination of random and purposive sampling method, 300 squatter households were selected from different parts of the city and quantitative data and qualitative information were collected from primary as well as secondary sources to analyze. The result shows that squatter settlements growth rate is alarming and long run practice in its nature with an average growth rate of 18.6% per year in the past five years. Currently there is also a residential area development without legal claims to the land and/or permission from the concerned authorities to build; the overwhelming proportion 85% of respondents claimed that construction of illegal houses has continued. The main actors behind such illegal settlement were networked government bureaucrats and brokers, and the root cause for development and expansion of squatter settlements in Burayu city is not only economic scarceness of the squatter households; awkward procedures and very poor performance of LDMA to deliver the land to the aspirants was also a reason to the expansion. Since Government of Ethiopia is becoming incapable to provide funds for the provision of these essential facilities in the face of other competing needs of the citizenry, government should be innovative in their financing. In this wise, Public – Private - Initiative should be explored. Since private investors were going to be involved, they need adequate return to make their involvement remain on a sustainable level, consequently; the urban poor need to be economically empowered in order to be able to afford the payment for some of these facilities which would be provided under this arrangement. Management of squatting activities and squatter settlements was crucial. Effort should be geared towards checking the development of new squatter settlements. Secondly, early occupation and adequate policing of acquired land would prevent encroachment. Erection of signposts informing and warning unsuspecting buyers and developers that the land was committed will help a lot in this regard. Due to the sensitive nature of this thesis the study participant's willingness to freely fill research questions was less. It was very significant to note that not much conclusive research had been done in the title. In some situations the quote theory might be more applicable than in other situations, however this should not be regarded as the fact before more decisive research was done.

description: Antibaryons are produced in our Galaxy in collisions of high energy cosmic rays with the interstellar medium and in old supernova remnants, and possibly, in exotic sources such as primordial black hole evaporation or dark matter annihilations and decays. The search for signals from exotic sources in antiproton data is hampered by large backgrounds from spallation which, within theoretical errors, can solely account for the current data. Due to the higher energy threshold for antideuteron production, which translates into a suppression of the low energy flux from spallations, antideuteron searches have been proposed as a probe for exotic sources. We perform in this paper a comprehensive analysis of the antideuteron fluxes at the Earth expected from known and hypothetical sources in our Galaxy, and we calculate their maximal values consistent with current antiproton data from AMS-02. We find that supernova remnants generate a negligible flux, whereas primordial black hole evaporation and dark matter annihilations or decays may dominate the total flux at low energies. On the other hand, we find that the detection of cosmic antideuterons would require, for the scenarios studied in this paper and assuming optimistic values of the coalescence momentum and solar modulation, an increase of the experimental sensitivity compared to ongoing and planned instruments by at least a factor of 2. Finally, we briefly comment on the prospects for antihelium-3 detection.

description: Neutron and x-ray diffraction experiments were performed on the ternary intermetallic compound YbNiSn, formerly categorized as a ferromagnetic Kondo compound. At zero field, an increase in scattering intensity was observed on top of allowed and forbidden nuclear reflections below Tc, breaking the reflection condition of the crystal symmetry Pnma. This indicates that the magnetic structure of YbNiSn is antiferromagnetic-type, rather than the previously proposed simple collinear ferromagnetic structure. Temperature dependence of the scattering intensity of the 011 reflection confirmed the magnetic ordering at 5.77(2) K. No incommensurate satellite reflection was observed at 2.5 K. By applying external magnetic field of 1 T along the a axis, the magnetic intensity at the nuclear-forbidden 001 position was suppressed, while a slight enhancement at the nuclear-allowed 002 position was observed. This suggests a spin-flip transition under the external magnetic field along the a axis in YbNiSn. The proposed magnetic structures at zero field and 1 T correspond to the magnetic space groups of Pn'm'a and Pnm'a', respectively. The piezomagnetic effect and the switch between the two magnetic space groups by the external stress, which could be detected by the anomalous Hall effect, are proposed.

description: The relative hostile media effect suggests that partisans tend to perceive the bias of slanted news differently depending on whether the news is slanted in favor of or against their sides. To explore the effect of an algorithmic vs. human source on hostile media perceptions, this study conducts a 3 (author attribution: human, algorithm, or human-assisted algorithm) x 3 (news attitude: pro-issue, neutral, or anti-issue) mixed factorial design online experiment (N = 511). This study uses a transformer-based adversarial network to auto-generate comparable news headlines. The framework was trained with a dataset of 364,986 news stories from 22 mainstream media outlets. The results show that the relative hostile media effect occurs when people read news headlines attributed to all types of authors. News attributed to a sole human source is perceived as more credible than news attributed to two algorithm-related sources. For anti-Trump news headlines, there exists an interaction effect between author attribution and issue partisanship while controlling for people’s prior belief in machine heuristics. The difference of hostile media perceptions between the two partisan groups was relatively larger in anti-Trump news headlines compared with pro-Trump news headlines.

description: Was immer ein Arbeitsverhältnis sonst sein mag, es ist auf jeden Fall und nicht zuletzt eine soziale "Beziehung". Dies gilt für alle Arbeitsverhältnisse, also für das so genannte Normalarbeitsverhältnis, aber auch für alternative Formen wie beispielsweise die Leiharbeit und das Verhältnis zwischen einem selbstständig tätigen Arbeitsanbieter und seinem Auftraggeber. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht am Beispiel der Freien Journalist/inn/en, in welcher Weise die Qualität der Arbeitsbeziehungen von den grundlegenden Merkmalen einer Sozialbeziehung bestimmt wird. Besonders abgehoben wird dabei auf das Selbstverständnis der Journalist/inn/en. Mit Hilfe einer empirischen Studie wird geprüft, inwieweit das spezifische journalistische Selbstverständnis in der Lage ist, dem Arbeitsverhältnis Freier Journalist/inn/en eine positive Grundnote zu geben. Dabei stellt sich heraus, dass die Bedeutung dieses "intrinsischen" Faktors für die Qualität der Arbeitsbeziehung durchaus beschränkt ist. Als wesentlich bedeutsamer erweist sich die monetäre, also die "extrinsische" Seite der Arbeitsbeziehung.

description: In the capital city of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, climate change and environmental concerns are used to justify massive redevelopment projects in informal settlements located along the rivers Ozama and Isabela. Residents in such river communities negotiate the uncertainty of state planning under a new socio-environmentalism that prioritizes the environment over social concerns, while continuing to pursue bottom-up neighborhood planning despite the powerful rationality of limpieza (cleanliness), the pervasive techniques of responsibilization, and the celebratory spectacles of megaprojects. The uncertainty resulting from governance under socio-environmentalism produces ambivalence towards environmentcentered projects among residents. Drawing on oral histories and interviews with long-time community members, we suggest that residents engage in three ‘sensemaking strategies’ to process their ambivalence in the face of daily precarity, in particular the ongoing threat of evictions. Residents ‘keep up’ with the state and strategically utilize planning language to advocate for community priorities. They engage in practices of storytelling that reproduce a deep sense of community and provide a longer historical understanding of planning interventions. Finally, through verbal speculation and other ‘unsanctioned speech acts’ they analyze disruptions caused by socio-environmentalism, build solidarity with other communities, and think ahead despite uncertainty.

description: This study was conducted with an objective of identifying factors affecting customers' purchasing intention for laptop computers in Addis Ababa. Based on the literatures the country of origin, product knowledge, brand awareness, and product quality were conceptualized to identify their effect on purchasing intention. Purchasers in different sales centers were used as respondents. Convenience sampling method was used to find purchasers at sales area. Data were collected from primary sources through questionnaire. The researcher distributed to 384 respondents but 348 questionnaires were collected. The data was analyzed through both descriptive and inferential methods using both descriptive and explanatory research designs. The descriptive analysis was conducted by using mean and standard deviation. On the other hand, inferential analysis was conducted by using Pearson correlation method and linear regression method. The result indicated that product quality, product knowledge, and brand awareness have significant positive effect on purchasing intention. But effect of country of origin is statistically insignificant. Based on the findings the researcher recommends that sellers of the products to improve product knowledge, brand awareness, and import quality bands.

description: If you want to introduce appropriate measures to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic, you need to start by estimating the prevalence in the population. Even within a small country like Greece, getting an accurate estimate is proving hard. Tests in the field yield very high, seemingly unrealistic numbers (20% in Drama and 30% in Thessaloniki). We claim this is due to at least two biases and propose a concrete novel methodology to correct the bias. That is, given the current estimates from tests in the field, we can arrive at much more accurate figures, reflecting the true levels in the population.

description: We have studied the effect of changing the density and magnetic field strength in the coherent pulses that are emitted as energetic showers develop in the atmosphere. For this purpose we have developed an extension of ZHS, a program to calculate coherent radio pulses from electromagnetic showers in homogeneous media, to account for the Lorentz force due to a magnetic field. This makes it possible to perform quite realistic simulations of radio pulses from air showers in a medium similar to the atmosphere but without variations of density with altitude. The effects of independently changing the density, the refractive index and the magnetic field strength are studied in the frequency domain for observers in the Cherenkov direction at far distances from the shower. This approach is particularly enlightening providing an explanation of the spectral behavior of the induced electric field in terms of shower development parameters. More importantly, it clearly displays the complex scaling properties of the pulses as density and magnetic field intensity are varied. The usually assumed linear behavior of electric field amplitude with magnetic field intensity is shown to hold up to a given magnetic field strength at which the extra time delays due to the deflection in the magnetic field break it. Scaling properties of the pulses are obtained as the density of air decreases relative to sea level. A remarkably accurate scaling law is obtained that relates the spectra of pulses obtained when reducing the density and increasing the magnetic field.

description: There are two main projections used to transform, and reconstruct, field ion micrographs or atom probe tomography data into atomic coordinates at the specimen surface and, subsequently, in three-dimensions. In this article, we present a perspective on the strength of the azimuthal equidistant projection in comparison to the more widely used and well-established point-projection(or pseudo-stereographic projection), which underpins data reconstruction in most software packages currently in use across the community. After an overview of the reconstruction methodology, we demonstrate that the azimuthal equidistant is more robust with regards to errors on the parameters used to perform the reconstruction and is therefore more likely to yield more accurate tomographic reconstructions.

description: Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), being observed at high redshift (z = 9.4), vital to cosmological studies and investigating Population III stars. To tackle these studies, we need correlations among relevant GRB variables with the requirement of small uncertainties on their variables. Thus, we must have good coverage of GRB light curves (LCs). However, gaps in the LC hinder the precise determination of GRB properties and are often unavoidable. Therefore, extensive categorization of GRB LCs remains a hurdle. We address LC gaps using a 'stochastic reconstruction,' wherein we fit two pre-existing models (Willingale 2007; W07 and Broken Power Law; BPL) to the observed LC, then use the distribution of flux residuals from the original data to generate data to fill in the temporal gaps. We also demonstrate a model-independent LC reconstruction via Gaussian Processes. At 10% noise, the uncertainty of the end time of the plateau, its correspondent flux, and the temporal decay index after the plateau decreases, on average, by 33.3% 35.03%, and 43.32%, respectively for the W07, and by 33.3%, 30.78%, 43.9% for the BPL. The slope of the plateau decreases by 14.76% in the BPL. After using the Gaussian Process technique, we see similar trends of a decrease in uncertainty for all model parameters for both the W07 and BPL models. These improvements are essential for the application of GRBs as standard candles in cosmology, for the investigation of theoretical models and for inferring the redshift of GRBs with future machine learning analysis.

Year: 2017

description: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of internal marketing on organizational commitment of Employees of CBE. The study used quantitative research approach to collect data from front line employees of CBE. A survey was made by taking 345 samples of CBE frontline employees as respondents through Simple random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire on five Likert scale basis was used to collect data. Both descriptive and inferential (correlation and regression) statistics were utilized using SPSS version 20 to analyze the data. The result indicate that all selected dimensions of internal marketing( training, empowerment, motivation and internal communication) have significantly and positively affects job satisfaction and job satisfaction has significant effect on organizational commitment as well. Thus, CBE is recommended to fully implement internal marketing principles to increase employees' job satisfaction and organizational commitment and the Management must consider the organization as its first market and satisfy the needs of its internal customers. It must also establish on internal marketing program for CBE on the basis of those internal marketing dimensions which enhance organizational commitment
Overspinning a rotating black hole in semiclassical gravity with type-A trace anomaly

description: Recently, Fernandes discovered an analytic solution for rotating black holes in semiclassical gravity induced by the trace anomaly. These solutions exhibit some distinctive characteristics, including a non-spherically symmetric event horizon and violations of the Kerr bound. As a crucial assumption to uphold causality in spacetime, we investigate the validity of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) within this class of solutions with type-A trace anomaly by introducing a test particle on the equatorial plane. Our study reveals three distinct mechanisms that can potentially destroy the event horizon, leading to a violation of the WCCC. Our findings indicate that, with the exception of extremal Kerr, static extremal, and static singular black holes, the WCCC may be violated under the first-order perturbation of the test particle. These results suggest the need for further exploration of modifications to the behavior of the test particle under quantum effects in order to address the violation of the WCCC in this system.

description: We present a dynamical scheme for hadronization with first-order confinement phase transition. The thermodynamical conditions of phase equilibrium, the fluid velocity profile, and the dissipative effect determine the macroscopic changes of the parton volume and the corresponding hadron volume during the phase transition. The macroscopic volume changes are the basis for building up a dynamical scheme by considering microscopic transition processes from partons to hadrons and backwards. The established scheme is proved by comparing the numerical results with the analytical solutions in the case of a one-dimensional expansion of a dissipative fluid with Bjorken boost invariance. The comparisons show almost perfect agreements, which demonstrate the applicability of the introduced scheme.

An Assessment of Credit Appraisal and Credit Risk Management practices of Development Finance Institutions: the Case of Development Bank of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Meheretu, Fekadu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: The study focused on the Appraisal and credit risk management practices of Development Bank of Ethiopia, against the background that there was large amount of nonperforming loans beyond the set threshold of NBE, which could affect the overall status of the bank and the country as a whole. Based on the general objective of assessing the loan appraisal and credit risk management practices of Development Bank of Ethiopia, this study also tries to investigate the reasons for the accumulation of bad loan at DBE. A descriptive survey method was used for the study, by involving 32 questioner respondents comprising of all the technical staff from Development Bank of Ethiopia with a direct credit related functions and key informant interview were also held with the credit approval team chairman of DBE. A descriptive analysis was used to investigate about the loan appraisal, the loan buyout, risk transfer, risk diversification, risk retention and loan approval practices of DBE. The results of the study showed as there existed a very good loan appraisal process at Development Bank of Ethiopia as compared to other risk management technique like risk transfer and risk retention. The appraisal process helps identify and analyze loss exposures support to monitor risk which enhances normal loan repayment behavior of any creditor. Generally, except the issue of diversification in which the respondents response shows a positive result, DBE's credit risk management practice, in area of risk transfer and retention is weak, hence these weak credit risk management practice of the bank in line with the loan buy out services and implementation drawbacks were responsible for the accumulation of Nonperforming loans in the bank
Unruh-DeWitt detector's response to fermions in flat spacetimes

description: We examine an Unruh-DeWitt particle detector that is coupled linearly to the scalar density of a massless Dirac field in Minkowski spacetimes of dimension $d\ge2$ and on the static Minkowski cylinder in spacetime dimension two, allowing the detector's motion to remain arbitrary and working to leading order in perturbation theory. In $d$-dimensional Minkowski, with the field in the usual Fock vacuum, we show that the detector's response is identical to that of a detector coupled linearly to a massless scalar field in $2d$-dimensional Minkowski. In the special case of uniform linear acceleration, the detector's response hence exhibits the Unruh effect with a Planckian factor in both even and odd dimensions, in contrast to the Rindler power spectrum of the Dirac field, which has a Planckian factor for odd $d$ but a Fermi-Dirac factor for even~$d$. On the two-dimensional cylinder, we set the oscillator modes in the usual Fock vacuum but allow an arbitrary state for the zero mode of the periodic spinor. We show that the detector's response distinguishes the periodic and antiperiodic spin structures, and the zero mode of the periodic spinor contributes to the response by a state-dependent but well defined amount. Explicit analytic and numerical results on the cylinder are obtained for inertial and uniformly accelerated trajectories, recovering the $d=2$ Minkowski results in the limit of large circumference. The detector's response has no infrared ambiguity for $d=2$, neither in Minkowski nor on the cylinder.

description: The »Prile Project« has been investigating since 2016 the relationship between the Etruscan settlement of Vetulonia and the ancient lagoon called ­Prile. As part of the project, archaeologists and geoscientists are helping to outline and understand the changes in the landscape caused by the past siltation of the lagoon and the subsequent changes in the use of the shores. From 2019 to 2022, three excavation campaigns and one drilling campaign could be carried out, which have brought significant new insights into the extent and development of the lagoon. A monumental Etruscan infrastructure complex not far from the shores of the lagoon was identified and its ­potential for future research was demonstrated.­
