description: We sketch an approximate method to quantify the number of correlated pairs in any nucleus $A$. It is based on counting independent-particle model (IPM) nucleon-nucleon pairs in a relative $S$-state with no radial excitation. We show that IPM pairs with those quantum numbers are most prone to short-range correlations and are at the origin of the high-momentum tail of the nuclear momentum distributions. Our method allows to compute the $a_2$ ratios extracted from inclusive electron scattering. Furthermore, our results reproduce the observed linear correlation between the number of correlated pairs and the magnitude of the EMC effect. We show that the width of the pair center-of-mass distribution in exclusive two-nucleon knockout yields information on the quantum numbers of the pairs.

description: Ten new exact solutions of the Riccati equation $dy/dx=a(x)+b(x)y+c(x)y^{2}$ are presented. The solutions are obtained by assuming certain relations among the coefficients $a(x)$, $b(x)$ and $c(x)$ of the Riccati equation, in the form of some integral or differential expressions, also involving some arbitrary functions. By appropriately choosing the form of the coefficients of the Riccati equation, with the help of the conditions imposed on the coefficients, we obtain ten new integrability cases for the Riccati equation. For each case the general solution of the Riccati equation is also presented. The possibility of the application of the obtained mathematical results for the study of anisotropic general relativistic stellar models is also briefly considered.

description: Generation of large-scale magnetic fields in inflationary cosmology is studied in teleparallelism, where instead of the scalar curvature in general relativity, the torsion scalar describes the gravity theory. In particular, we investigate a coupling of the electromagnetic field to the torsion scalar during inflation, which leads to the breaking of conformal invariance of the electromagnetic field. We demonstrate that for a power-law type coupling, the current magnetic field strength of $\sim 10^{-9}$ G on 1 Mpc scale can be generated, if the backreaction effects and strong coupling problem are not taken into consideration.

description: As waste production has increased, these materials have been put to their best use to help reduce pollution. Glass bottles account for more than 5% of municipal waste in Mashhad, according to statistics. This study attempted to look into the impact of using glass granule recycled materials on soil parameters. The impact of adding glass granule materials on the properties of weak soil and the need for improvement in the east part of Mashhad was studied. The dominant soil in the east of Mashhad was determined using samples collected from 54 different locations. Finally, two experimental relations for determining soil strength parameters were presented. The results show that adding glass granule (GG)lowers the optimum moisture content, and CBR testing on the samples revealed that adding GG by 5% water content increases CBR capacity. Adding GG reduces the CBR in saturated conditions with high densities. According to the obtained results, adding 5% of glass granule is the optimal state that increases CBR and adding more than 5% of additive amounts does not have such an effect. Also, by examining the effect of GG on the shear strength of the soil, it was obtained that the addition of GG increases the internal friction angle of the soil by at least 30% and reduces adhesion by about 40%, as determined by a direct shear test. Adding glass granule in cyclic CBR has no effect in low cycles and has a negative effect in high cycles.
ASSESSMENT OF FACTORS INFLUENCING WILLINGNESS AND UTILIZATION OF VCT AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN IN DESSIE TOWN

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2007

description: Background-: HIV has spread throughout the world causing untold suffering and death and

creating profound development challenges. Worldwide African women are the group most

severely affected by the epidemic. Women who are infected by HIV are infecting their

infants in turn. Mother to child transmission is the most common cause of HIV/AIDS in

children less than 15 years of age. Mother to child transmission can occur during pregnancy,

labor and breast-feeding. However the risk of MTCT can be lowered significantly through

comprehensive reproductive health services which include voluntary counseling and testing

for pregnant women, Anti-retroviral prophylaxis and breast feeding counseling.

Objective: - The purpose of this study is to assess factors influencing willingness and

utilization of VCT for PMTCT among pregnant women

description: The satisfiability problem for branching-time temporal logics like CTL*, CTL and CTL+ has important applications in program specification and verification. Their computational complexities are known: CTL* and CTL+ are complete for doubly exponential time, CTL is complete for single exponential time. Some decision procedures for these logics are known; they use tree automata, tableaux or axiom systems. In this paper we present a uniform game-theoretic framework for the satisfiability problem of these branching-time temporal logics. We define satisfiability games for the full branching-time temporal logic CTL* using a high-level definition of winning condition that captures the essence of well-foundedness of least fixpoint unfoldings. These winning conditions form formal languages of ω-words. We analyse which kinds of deterministic ω-automata are needed in which case in order to recognise these languages. We then obtain a reduction to the problem of solving parity or Büchi games. The worst-case complexity of the obtained algorithms matches the known lower bounds for these logics. This approach provides a uniform, yet complexity-theoretically optimal treatment of satisfiability for branching-time temporal logics. It separates the use of temporal logic machinery from the use of automata thus preserving a syntactical relationship between the input formula and the object that represents satisfiability, i.e. a winning strategy in a parity or Büchi game. The games presented here work on a Fischer-Ladner closure of the input formula only. Last but not least, the games presented here come with an attempt at providing tool support for the satisfiability problem of complex branching-time logics like CTL* and CTL+.

DISTRIBUTION: N Camaroon, N and NE Zaire, S Sudan, SW Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania (no farther south than Muanza); southern limits unresolved. SYNONYMS: alghazal, centralis, helleri, medicatus, norae. COMMENTS: Originally described as a species but later incorrectly arranged as a subspecies of A. kaiseri (e.g., Hollister, 1919; Swynnerton and Hayman, 1951) with which it is sympatric. Actual geographic range of A. hindei is unresolved because many series in museum collections and reported in the literature are misidentified as A. kaiseri. See Bekele and Schütter (1989) for discussion of the Ethiopian record. Davis (19756) recognized two discrete populations, one to the east of the Rift Valley, and one to the west. The complex requires revisionary study to determine significance of appreciable geographic variation in morphological traits among samples.

The spectrum, observed with ALMA, also shows a surprising large number of narrow, unidentified lines that arise in the vicinity of the star. The HNC data are interpreted through a 1D--spherical non--local radiative transfer model, coupled to a chemical model that includes chemistry at thermochemical equilibrium for the innermost regions and reaction kinetics for the external envelope. Although unresolved by the present early ALMA data, the radius inferred for the emitting region is $\sim$0.06'' (i.e., $\simeq$ 3 stellar radii), similar to the size of the dusty clumps reported by IR studies of the innermost region ($r

description: The idea of vocabulary learning strategies has been introduced for a long time. However, realizing the fact that sophomore students of Legal English in Ho Chi Minh City University of Law still have problems with learning new vocabulary, a quantitative research was carried out to find out the most common vocabulary learning strategies used by students and its influence on reading comprehension. Also, actions were taken out to find some necessary implications. The study found that there are four most popular vocabulary learning strategies, namely self – initiation strategies, selective strategies, using dictionary strategies and using background knowledge strategies. Although not seeing significant impacts, the study still reveals some precious implications which make it worths reading. Keywords: vocabulary learning strategies, influence, reading comprehension.

Placement of L. araffinosus in a separate species is supported by ANI values and digital DNA–DNA hybridization [10]. The availability of the genome sequences of the type strains of both subspecies revealed that they are only distantly related with an ANI value of 88.98%, substantially below the 95–96 % threshold recognised for the species level. Furthermore, their core nucleotide identity (CNI) [10] is 91.1, which is below the 94 % threshold at which two strains are allocated tothe same species. Finally, their in silico DDH value is 37.80, whichadditionally supports thatthese two subspeciesshould be recognised as different species [10].

A method for the microlensed flux variance of QSOs
Creators: name: Goodman, Jeremy

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A fast and practical method is described for calculating the microlensed flux variance of an arbitrary source by uncorrelated stars. The required inputs are the mean convergence and shear due to the smoothed potential of the lensing galaxy, the stellar mass function, and the absolute square of the Fourier transform of the surface brightness in the source plane. The mathematical approach follows previous authors but has been generalized, streamlined, and implemented in publicly available code. Examples of its application are given for Dexter and Agol's inhomogeneous-disk models as well as the usual gaussian sources. Since the quantity calculated is a second moment of the magnification, it is only logarithmically sensitive to the sizes of very compact sources. However, for the inferred sizes of actual QSOs, it has some discriminatory power and may lend itself to simple statistical tests. At the very least, it should be useful for testing the convergence of microlensing simulations.

The results of a search for direct pair production of the scalar partner to the top quark using an integrated luminosity of 20.1 fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC are reported. The top squark is assumed to decay via stop --> t chi1^0 or stop --> b chi1^{+/-} --> b W^{(*)} chi1^0, where chi1^0 (chi1^{+/-}) denotes the lightest neutralino (chargino) in supersymmetric models. The search targets a fully-hadronic final state in events with four or more jets and large missing transverse momentum. No significant excess over the Standard Model background prediction is observed, and exclusion limits are reported in terms of the top squark and neutralino masses and as a function of the branching fraction of stop --> t chi1^0. For a branching fraction of 100%, top squark masses in the range 270-645 GeV are excluded for chi1^0 masses below 30 GeV. For a branching fraction of 50% to either stop --> t chi1^0 or stop --> b chi1^{+/-}, and assuming the chi1^{+/-} mass to be twice the chi1^0 mass, top squark masses in the range 250-550 GeV are excluded for chi1^0 masses below 60 GeV.

description: The deviation from geodesic motion of the world line of an extended body endowed with multipolar structure up to the mass quadrupole moment is studied in the Kerr background according to the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon model. The properties of the quadrupole tensor are clarified by identifying the relevant components which enter the equations of motion, leading to the definition of an effective quadrupole tensor sharing its own algebraic symmetries, but also obeying those implied by the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon model itself. The equations of motion are then solved analytically in the limit of small values of the characteristic length scales associated with the spin and quadrupole variables in comparison with the one associated with the background curvature and under special assumptions on body's structure and motion. The resulting quasi-circular orbit is parametrized in a Keplerian-like form, so that temporal, radial and azimuthal eccentricities as well as semi-major axis, period and periastron advance are explicitly computed and expressed in terms of gauge-invariant variables in the weak field and slow motion limit. A companion numerical study of the equations of motion is performed too.

When multiple photons are absorbed in complex systems, a plasma-like state is formed where many atoms are ionized on a femtosecond timescale. If multiphoton absorption is resonantly-enhanced, the system becomes electronically-excited prior to plasma formation, with subsequent decay paths which have been scarcely investigated to date. Here, we show using helium nanodroplets as an example that these systems can decay by a new type of process, named collective autoionization. In addition, we show that this process is surprisingly efficient, leading to ion abundances much greater than that of direct single-photon ionization. This novel collective ionization process is expected to be important in many other complex systems, e.g. macromolecules and nanoparticles, exposed to high intensity radiation fields.

description: In 2018 the Victoria Police Specialist Investigators Support Unit (SISU) was established within Family Violence Command (FVC) at Victoria Police. SISU is staffed by a team of mental health professionals to provide targeted psychological services and interventions to regional and metropolitan Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Teams (SOCIT) and Family Violence Investigation Units (FVIU). The establishment of the unit aligned with findings in the Victoria Police Mental Health Review (2016) that recognised a need for improved support for employees’ safety and wellbeing, particularly those working in themes of child abuse, sexual offending and family violence.The SISU intervention is a distinctive model, as it works on the on-site embedded proactive provision of psychological services designed to achieve organisational change at a workplace, rather than solely at an individual, level. Services including counselling, training, education and other therapeutic and organisational interventions on a diverse range of complex issues were put in place.This report provides an outline of the SISU model of service delivery, and an analysis of the service implementation conducted by Monash University on behalf of Victoria Police in 2019/20.

description: The objective of this study was to examine factors affecting graduating students’ attitude towards entrepreneurship: the case of Addis Ababa Science and Technology University undergraduate and postgraduate students. The primary challenge of higher education students is securing a job after graduation. Furthermore, there is no established mindset among the students as to how to go about translating their academic gains into innovations that can be commercialized. The study employed explanatory research design supported with deductive/quantitative approach data was collected with questionnaire and structured interview from graduating class students and university officers. The Taro Yamane (1967) formula sample size determination method was used to determine the sample size and the sample size was 328. The collected data was analyzed using inferential analysis techniques: regression and correlation. The correlation analysis result reported there is strong association among the study variables. From the simple linear regression result, it was found that family background explained 77.9% of the variation in students’ entrepreneurial attitude. The simultaneous multiple regression result reported that 83.6% of the variation in students’ entrepreneurial attitude is explained by the proposed model

description: Background: A fundamental element of gender equity are women’s rights to reproductive choice. Women’s empowerment is often linked to enabling decisions around contraceptive use and reduced fertility worldwide, although limited evidence is currently available around contraceptive use and decision making in ASEAN countries. Objective: To examine the association between women’s empowerment and contraceptive use in five selected ASEAN member states. Methods: Data from the latest Demographic and Health Survey of Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, The Philippines, and Timor-Leste were used. The main outcome was contraceptive use among married women (15–49 years) from these five countries. We considered four indicators of empowerment: labor force participation; disagreement with reasons for wife beating; decision-making power over household issues; and knowledge level. Results: Labor force participation was found to be significantly associated with contraceptive use in all nations. Disagreement with justification of wife beating was not significantly related to contraceptive use in any country. Decision-making power (higher) was only associated with contraceptive use in Cambodia, while higher knowledge levels were associated with contraceptive use in Cambodia, and Myanmar. Conclusion: This study suggests women’s labor force participation is an important determinant of contraceptive use. Policies designed to open the labor market and empower women through education should be implemented to enable women’s participation. Gender inequality may also be tackled by engaging women in decision-making processes at national, community and family levels.

SYNONYMS: dollmani. COMMENTS: Delany (1975) considered nyikae to be a synonym of kaiseri, but Davis (19756) and Ansell (1978) correctly treated it as a separate species. Ansell (1978) provided documentation for the geographic range and discussed the identity of dollmani. The published record from Eastern Ngorima Reserve in E Zimbabwe is possibly based on a misidentification as inferred by Skinner and Smithers (1990:280).

description: We present measurements of the stress response of packings formed from a wide range of particle shapes. Besides spheres these include convex shapes such as the Platonic solids, truncated tetrahedra, and triangular bipyramids, as well as more complex, non-convex geometries such as hexapods with various arm lengths, dolos, and tetrahedral frames. All particles were 3D-printed in hard resin. Well-defined initial packing states were established through preconditioning by cyclic loading under given confinement pressure. Starting from such initial states, stress-strain relationships for axial compression were obtained at four different confining pressures for each particle type. While confining pressure has the largest overall effect on the mechanical response, we find that particle shape controls the details of the stress-strain curves and can be used to tune packing stiffness and yielding. By correlating the experimentally measured values for the effective Young's modulus under compression, yield stress and energy loss during cyclic loading, we identify trends among the various shapes that allow for designing a packing's aggregate behavior.

description: The Millennium N-body simulation and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey seventh data release (SDSS DR7) galaxy and galaxy group catalogues are compared to study the properties of galaxy groups and the distribution of galaxies in groups. We construct mock galaxy group catalogues for a Millennium semi-analytical galaxy catalogue by using the same friends-of-friends method, which was used by Tago et al to analyse the SDSS data. We analyse in detail the group luminosities, group richnesses, virial radii, sizes of groups and their rms velocities for four volume-limited samples from observations and simulations. Our results show that the spatial densities of groups agree within one order of magnitude in all samples with a rather good agreement between the mock catalogues and observations. All group property distributions have similar shapes and amplitudes for richer groups. For galaxy pairs and small groups, the group properties for observations and simulations are clearly different. In addition, the spatial distribution of galaxies in small groups is different: at the outskirts of the groups the galaxy number distributions do not agree, although the agreement is relatively good in the inner regions. Differences in the distributions are mainly due to the observational limitations in the SDSS sample and to the problems in the semi-analytical methods that produce too compact and luminous groups.

description: Infections with Chikungunya virus, a mosquito-borne alphavirus, cause an acute febrile syndrome often followed by chronic arthritis that persists for months to years post-infection. Neutralizing antibodies are the primary immune correlate of protection elicited by infection, and the major goal of vaccinations in development. Using convalescent blood samples collected from both endemic and non-endemic human subjects at multiple timepoints following suspected or confirmed chikungunya infection, we identified antibodies with broad neutralizing properties against other alphaviruses within the Semliki Forest complex. Cross-neutralization generally did not extend to the Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis virus (VEEV) complex, although some subjects had low levels of VEEV-neutralizing antibodies. This suggests that broadly neutralizing antibodies elicited following natural infection are largely complex restricted. In addition to serology, we also performed memory B-cell analysis, finding chikungunya-specific memory B-cells in all subjects in this study as remotely as 24 years post-infection. We functionally assessed the ability of memory B-cell derived antibodies to bind to chikungunya virus, and related Mayaro virus, as well as the highly conserved B domain of the E2 glycoprotein thought to contribute to cross-reactivity between related Old-World alphaviruses. To specifically assess the role of the E2 B domain in cross-neutralization, we depleted Mayaro and Chikungunya virus E2 B domain specific antibodies from convalescent sera, finding E2B depletion significantly decreases Mayaro virus specific cross-neutralizing antibody titers with no significant effect on chikungunya virus neutralization, indicating that the E2 B domain is a key target of cross-neutralizing and potentially cross-protective neutralizing antibodies.
title: Ternary Bismuth-based Functional Materials for Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation
Creators: name: Wu, Xiaofeng
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED

description: Ternary bismuth-based oxides are regarded as promising photoanode materials in the field of photoelectrochemical water splitting due to their tunable structure and suitable energy band position. However, an in-depth understanding of bulk defects in structure-activity relationships and interfacial charge transfer kinetics is still lacking but needed for designing optimally functioning photoelectrodes.
In the present work, the impact of bulk oxygen vacancies (OVs) in BiOCl and the related induced shallow and deep defect states on the photocurrent was investigated. The results demonstrated that shallow defect states acting as electrons sinks can effectively accelerate separation of charge carriers and remarkably enhance the photocurrent, while deep lying surface states act as recombination centers and are detrimental to photocurrent.
Apart from BiOCl, the influence of Mo doping in BiVO_4 on photocurrent, photovoltage, and charge carrier dynamics was investigated. The results showed that both dark- and photocurrent densities of BiVO_4 in OER are dominantly limited by interfacial charge carrier resistance (R_{ct}) rather than bulk resistance (R_{bulk}). This conclusion confirms that the increase of bulk charge carrier concentration is not a decisive factor for improved OER performance of BiVO_4, which is consistent with the viewpoint that photocurrent of BiVO_4 is limited by surface recombination.
Based on the BiVO_4 results, we further proposed a semiconductor-electrolyte interface model, in which the surface accumulated hole density in BiVO_4 and Mo-doped BiVO_4 samples during water oxidation can be acquired via employing illumination-dependent Mott-Schottky measurements. According to this model, we demonstrate that the hole transfer rate remains linearly proportional to surface hole density on a log-log scale. Both water oxidation on BiVO_4 and Mo-doped BiVO_4 follow first-order reaction kinetics at low surface hole densities, which is in good agreement with literature. Besides, we find that water oxidation active sites in both BiVO_4 and Mo doped BiVO_4 are very likely to be Bi^{5+}, which are produced by photoexcited or/and electro-induced surface holes, rather than VO_x species or Mo^{6+} due to their insufficient redox potential for water oxidation. Our model gives a relatively complete physical image for generation and transfer of the photo(electro)-induced holes, as well as their accumulation and distribution within the space charge region (SCR) of semiconductors and surface hole-related water oxidation kinetics.
