description: Electron-multiplying charge-coupled-device cameras (EMCCDs) have been used to observe quantum noise reductions in beams of light in the transverse spatial degree of freedom. For the quantum noise reduction in the temporal domain, "bucket detectors," usually composed of photodiodes with operational amplifiers, are used to register the intensity fluctuations in beams of light within the bandwidth of the detectors. Spatial information, however, is inevitably washed off by the detector. In this paper, we report on measurements of the temporal quantum noise reduction in bright twin beams using an EMCCD camera. The four-wave mixing process in an atomic rubidium vapor cell is used to generate the bright twin beams of light. We observe more than 25% of temporal quantum noise reduction with respect to the shot-noise limit in images captured by the EMCCD camera. Compared with bucket detectors, EMCCD makes it possible to take advantage of the spatial and temporal quantum properties of light simultaneously, which would greatly benefit many applications using quantum protocols.

description: We studied numerically the distribution of the entanglement Hamiltonian eigenvalues in two one-dimensional free fermion models and the typical three-dimensional Anderson model. We showed numerically that this distribution depends on the phase of the system: In the delocalized phase it is centered around very small values and in the localized phase, picks of the distribution goes to larger values. We therefore, based on the distribution of entanglement Hamiltonian eigenvalues, explain the behavior of the entanglement entropy in different phases. In addition we propose the smallest magnitude entanglement Hamiltonian eigenvalue as a characterization of phase and phase transition point (although it does not locate the phase transition point very sharply), and we verify it in the mentioned models.

description: Whilst a common and persisting feature of advanced market economies, the gender wage gap nevertheless varies across countries. Amongst the factors affecting this wage gap, indus-trial relations and industry differences still require further research. Using data from EU-SILC in 25 European countries, this article analyses how national wage-setting institutions impact wage differences between male and female full-time employees in three distinct in-dustries. Complementing the country comparison is an in-depth study of the German case using data from the German Linked Employer-Employee Database, shedding light on the interaction of industry-specific wage-setting regulations and gender equity in living wages. Findings from the international comparison suggest a substantial gender wage gap for full-time employees across industries with specific country patterns. Country patterns seem to be due to the overall influence of trade unions and the relationship between pay bargaining strategies and specific minimum wage policies. The German case adds to these findings by analysing the impact of sectoral models of wage bargaining for industry-specific gender wage gaps, focussing on living wages for skilled full-time employees.

Impact of obesity on lung inflammation and response to corticosteroids in allergic asthma
Creators: name: Rehab Bagadood

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Obesity is both a risk factor and a disease modifier of asthma. Compared to lean patients, obese asthmatic patients suffer from severe symptoms, frequent exacerbations, and poor quality of life. The relationship between asthma and obesity remains unclear. Clinical studies have shown that obese asthmatics are characterized by neutrophilic, eosinophilic or mixed inflammation in the airways. Irrespective of the type of inflammation, obese asthmatic patients have decreased responses to corticosteroid therapy via mechanisms that are still unknown. Preclinical studies performed in mouse models of allergic asthma fed with high fat diet (HFD) have provided different conclusions regarding the mechanisms by which obesity contributes to asthma pathogenesis/worsening and inconsistent results with regard to the impact of obesity on allergic airway eosinophilia. I hypothesized that obesity may contribute to asthma pathogenesis by altering corticosteroid responses in immune cells. I used high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity in female C57BL/6 mice sensitized and challenged to ovalbumin to determine the impact of obesity on allergen-induced airway inflammation and splenocyte in vitro responses (cell proliferation and cytokine production) to different stimuli with the presence or absence of dexamethasone. The current study showed that proliferation of immune cells as well as production of different inflammatory cytokines TNF-! (~1.5fold), IL-6 (~3fold), IL-13 (~2.5fold) and IL-17 (~3fold) in response to allergen stimulation were augmented in obese sensitised animals. Surprisingly, the anti-inflammatory effect of dexamethasone on the production of IL-6 (completely) and IL-17 (partially) from ovalbumin-treated splenocytes was impaired in obese animals (p<0.0001). Moreover, allergen increased airway inflammation in both perivascular and bronchial areas which was found to be greater in obese sensitised animals compared to corresponding lean group (p<0.01). Obesity also significantly enhanced the percentage of neutrophil infiltration in the airways of allergen exposed animals (p<0.05) while infiltration of eosinophils, macrophages, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells remained unaffected by the diet regime. In conclusion, allergen challenge differentially regulates the sensitivity of cultured splenocytes to corticosteroids in both lean and obese asthmatic mice. Obese allergic mice had also a marked increase in lung neutrophilic inflammation and levels of IL-6, IL-17 and TNF-!. These data support the hypothesis that obesity may play a role in asthma exacerbation/progression by augmenting lung neutrophilic inflammation and impairing the function and sensitivity of immune cells to corticosteroid therapy.

description: Normal-hearing listeners adapt to alterations in sound localization cues. This adaptation can result from the establishment of a new spatial map of the altered cues or from a stronger relative weighting of unaltered compared to altered cues. Such reweighting has been shown for monaural vs. binaural cues. However, studies attempting to reweight the two binaural cues, interaural differences in time and level, yielded inconclusive results. In this study we investigated whether binaural cue reweighting can be induced by a lateralization training in a virtual audio-visual environment. 20 normal-hearing participants, divided into two groups, completed the experiment consisting of a seven-day lateralization training in a virtual audio-visual environment, preceded and followed by a test measuring the binaural cue weights. During testing, the participants task was to lateralize 500-ms bandpass-filtered (2-4 kHz) noise bursts containing various combinations of spatially consistent and inconsistent ITDs and ILDs. During training, the task was extended by visual cues reinforcing ITDs in one group and ILDs in the other group as well as manipulating the azimuthal ranges of the two cues. In both groups, the weight given to the reinforced cue increased significantly from pre- to posttest, suggesting that participants reweighted the binaural cues in the expected direction. This reweighting occurred predominantly within the first training session. The present results are relevant as binaural cue reweighting is, for example, likely to occur when normal-hearing listeners adapt to new acoustic environments. Similarly, binaural cue reweighting might be a factor underlying the low contribution of ITDs to sound localization of cochlear-implant listeners as they typically do not experience reliable ITD cues with their clinical devices.

description: The Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector has for many years endeavoured to improve its energy efficiency. In 2003, the energy efficiency index (EE Index) improved by 1 percentage point to 51%. This improvement was due to increased yields per m2 at an unchanged primary fuel consumption per m2. Conversely, in 2003 the sector's CO2 emissions increased by 0.21 million tonnes to a total of 6.44 million tonnes. This increase is due to the sector's reduced ability to make use of power companies' residual heat and cogeneration-plant heat, as a result of which the sector was compelled to make more use of fossil fuels (natural gas). However, both the use of energy-saving options such as heat storage and movable screens and the number of energy-cluster projects continue to increase. Door de Nederlandse glastuinbouw wordt al jaren gestreefd naar een verbetering van de energie- efficiëntie. In 2003 is de energie-efficiëntie-index (EE-index) met 1 procentpunt verbeterd tot 51%. Deze verbetering is het gevolg van een hogere fysieke productie per m2 bij een gelijkblijvend primair brandstofverbruik per m2. De CO2-emissie van de sector is daarentegen in 2003 met 0,21 miljoen ton gestegen en bedroeg in totaal 6,44 miljoen ton. Deze stijging is het gevolg van het feit dat de sector minder gebruik heeft kunnen maken van restwarmte en w/kwarmte van energiebedrijven en daarom meer fossiele brandstoffen (aardgas) verbruikt heeft. Het gebruik van energiebesparende opties, zoals warmteopslag en beweegbaar scherm, vertoont nog wel een stijgende trend. Ditzelfde geldt voor het aantal energieclusterprojecten.

description: One of the most widely held current perspectives about technology is social construction of technology (SCOT). Despite being a powerful theory frequently held high by social constructivists, most studies that utilise SCOT focused their attention more on user-producer relationships in relation to technological development. There is a minimal emphasis on the role of producers of technology. This study’s main objective is to critically examine cooperative relationships amongst the producers or incubatees of mobile applications at an incubation institution in Brunei Darussalam, iCentre Brunei (iCB) and to address the first research question that seeks to find out the conditions that facilitate cooperation and the innovation of apps amongst the incubatees as how they had experienced it. The experiences of the incubatees are further examined through the second research question, which aims to assess the concept of trust that is widely perceived as important elements that ensures cooperation.By engaging symbolic interactionism perspectives with qualitative data obtained from fieldwork interviews together with relevant literatures, the case of the incubatees confirms the significance of social situations and social meanings in securing their respective teams’ cooperation and innovation. Vulnerable as they are due to their limited financial capability and lack of entrepreneurial experience, the incubatees at iCB survives and thrives by fostering and valuing both informality and trust to facilitate their cooperation and simultaneously foster their innovation. In addition, both homophily and passion also plays vital roles in securing trust and cooperation within the incubatees’ respective team.Based on the above findings, this study recommends an alternative way in understanding the social construction of technology within the experiences of novice producers of mobile applications.

description: Der Gesundheitssektor in Deutschland ist durch eine steigende Präsenz von Frauen im traditionell von Männern dominierten ärztlichen Berufsfeld und eine leichte Zunahme von Fachkräften mit akademischer Ausbildung in der von Frauen dominierten Kranken- und Altenpflege gekennzeichnet. Was diese Entwicklung für die Einkommen der männlichen und weiblichen Beschäftigten im expansiven Gesundheitswesen bedeutet, ist offen. Der Beitrag untersucht auf Basis von SOEP-Daten für die Jahre 2010-2013 die Einkommensniveaus und -zugewinne auf Basis höherer Bildung für männliche und weibliche Fachkräfte in der Kranken- und Altenpflege und im ärztlichen Berufsfeld. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Frauen im Vergleich zu Männern in allen drei Berufen sowohl geringere Bruttostundenlöhne als auch geringere Bildungsrenditen erzielen, wobei die geschlechtsspezifischen Differenzen bei der akademisierten ärztlichen Tätigkeit geringer sind als in der berufsfachlich geprägten Krankenpflege. Die heterogene und weiterhin expansive Altenpflege ist durch geringe Einkommensniveaus für beide Geschlechter und besonders hohe Bildungsrenditen der männlichen Fachkräfte gekennzeichnet. Diese Differenzen verweisen darauf, dass die Frage, warum Frauen auch bei gleicher Qualifikation geringere Einkommenszuwächse erzielen, weiterer berufsfeldspezifischer Untersuchung bedarf. Throughout the last decades the German health sector saw substantive inroads of women in the male-dominated medical profession and a slight increase of personnel with tertiary education in the so far feminized and semiprofessional occupations of nursing and elderly care. Effects of these trends on the income levels for the male and female employees in the expanding health sector are still under-researched. Based on data of the German Socio-Economic Panel from 2010-2013 the authors investigate income levels and higher education pay-offs for the occupational groups of doctors, nurses and elderly care workers. Results show for all three occupations that women earn significantly less and get less return on education. The gender gap is less pronounced within the profession of doctors than the semi-professional occupation of nurses. The occupational field of elderly care stands out with low wage levels for both men and women but comparatively high returns on education for male jobholders. These differences indicate the need to focus further research on occupationspecific structures in order to better understand the reasons for unequal pay of equally qualified women and men.

description: Quantifying nonclassicality of a bosonic mode is an important but challenge task in quantum optics. Recently, the first nonclassicality measure based on the concept of operational resource theory has been proposed [Phys. Rev. Research 2, 023400 (2020)], which shows several crucial properties as a resource for quantum metrology. Here we apply the measure to evaluate and categorize different classes of nonclassical states. We discover a class of states that can achieve the maximum nonclassicality in the asymptotic limit of large mean number of excitations. These states can provide the same sensitivity in place of a squeezed vacuum in a sensing scheme, e.g., the LIGO experiments. We also discover that the nonclassicality of certain states can be greatly improved with a single-photon addition. Besides, we explore some examples on how to evaluate analytically the nonclassicality of mixed states, which are in general difficult to calculate due to the convex roof nature of the measure. Our results will be useful for preparing and utilizing nonclassical states for applications in precision sensing tasks, such as quadrature sensing and phase sensing in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer.

description: In many mathematical and physical contexts spinors are treated as Grassmann odd valued fields. We show that it is possible to extend the classification of reality conditions on such spinors by a new type of Majorana condition. In order to define this graded Majorana condition we make use of pseudo-conjugation, a rather unfamiliar extension of complex conjugation to supernumbers. Like the symplectic Majorana condition, the graded Majorana condition may be imposed, for example, in spacetimes in which the standard Majorana condition is inconsistent. However, in contrast to the symplectic condition, which requires duplicating the number of spinor fields, the graded condition can be imposed on a single Dirac spinor. We illustrate how graded Majorana spinors can be applied to supersymmetry by constructing a globally supersymmetric field theory in three-dimensional Euclidean space, an example of a spacetime where standard Majorana spinors do not exist.

description: We suggest that the ultraluminous X-ray sources located in external galaxies (ULXs) are supercritical accretion disks like that in SS433, observed close to the disk axis. We estimate parameters of the SS433 funnel, where the relativistic jets are formed. Emergent X-ray spectrum in the proposed model of the multicolor funnel (MCF) is calculated. The spectrum can be compared with those of ULXs. We predict a complex absorption-line spectrum with broad and shallow K$α$/Kc blends of the most abundant heavy elements and particular temporal variability. Another critical idea comes from observations of nebulae around the ULXs. We present results of 3D-spectroscopy of nebulae of two ULXs located in Holmberg II and NGC6946. In both cases the nebula is found to be powered by the central black hole. The nebulae are compared with SS433 nebula (W50).

description: Models of coevolution have recently been studied, in which a species is defined by a genome in the form of a bitstring, and the interactions between species i and j are given by a fixed matrix with independent, randomly distributed elements M_{ij}. A consequence of the stochastic independence is that species whose genotypes differ even by a single bit may have completely different phenotypes. This is clearly unrealistic, as closely related species should be similar in their interactions with the rest of the ecosystem. Here we therefore study a model, in which the M_{ij} are correlated to a controllable degree. We calculate, both analytically and numerically, the correlation function for matrix elements M_{ij} and M_{kl} versus the Hamming distance between the bitstrings representing the species. We compare Monte Carlo simulations of coevolution models with uncorrelated and correlated interactions. In particular, we consider the lifetimes of individual species. The species-lifetime distribution is close to a power law with an exponent near -2 in both uncorrelated and correlated cases. The durations of quasi-steady states and power spectral densities for the diversity indices display noticeable differences. However, some qualitative features, like 1/f behaviour in power spectral densities for the diversity indices, are not affected by the correlations in the interaction matrix.

description: Background: Calculating microscopic effective interactions (optical potentials) for elastic nucleon-nucleus scattering has already in the past led to a large body of work. For first-order calculations a nucleon-nucleon (\textit{NN}) interaction and a one-body density of the nucleus were taken as input to rigorous calculations of microscopic full-folding calculations. Purpose: Based on the spectator expansion of the multiple scattering series we employ a chiral next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) nucleon-nucleon interaction on the same footing in the structure as well as in the reaction calculation to obtain an in leading-order consistent effective potential for nucleon-nucleus elastic scattering, which includes the spin of the struck target nucleon. Methods: The first order effective folding potential is computed by first deriving a nonlocal scalar density as well as a spin-projected momentum distribution. Those are then integrated with the off-shell Wolfenstein amplitudes $A$, $C$, and $M$. The resulting nonlocal potential serves as input to a momentum-space Lippmann-Schwinger equation, whose solutions are summed to obtain the nucleon-nucleus scattering observables. Results: We calculate elastic scattering observables for $^4$He, $^6$He, $^8$He, $^{12}$C, and $^{16}$O in the energy regime between 100 and 200 MeV projectile kinetic energy, and compare to available data. We also explore the extension down to about 70 MeV, and study the effect of ignoring the spin of the struck nucleon in the nucleus. Conclusions: In our calculations we contrast elastic scattering off closed-shell and open-shell nuclei. We find that for closed-shell nuclei the approximation of ignoring the spin of the struck target nucleon is excellent. We only see effects of the spin of the struck target nucleon when considering $^6$He and $^8$He, which are nuclei with a $N/Z$ ratio larger than 1.

description: The thermodynamics of the small SH3 protein domain is studied by means of a simplified model where each bead-like amino acid interacts with the others through a contact potential controlled by a 20x20 random matrix. Good folding sequences, characterized by a low native energy, display three main thermodynamical phases, namely a coil-like phase, an unfolded globule and a folded phase (plus other two phases, namely frozen and random coil, populated only at extremes temperatures). Interestingly, the unfolded globule has some regions already structured. Poorly designed sequences, on the other hand, display a wide transition from the random coil to a frozen state. The comparison with the analytic theory of heteropolymers is discussed.

description: In this paper, we formulate a stochastic logistic fish growth model driven by both white noise and non-Gaussian noise. We focus our study on the mean time to extinction, escape probability to measure the noise-induced extinction probability and the Fokker-Planck equation for fish population X(t). In the Gaussian case, these quantities satisfy local partial differential equations while in the non-Gaussian case, they satisfy nonlocal partial differential equations. Following a discussion of existence, uniqueness, and stability, we calculate numerical approximations of the solutions of those equations. For each noise model we then compare the behaviors of the mean time to extinction and the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation as growth rate r, carrying capacity K, the intensity of Gaussian noise $λ$, noise intensity $σ$ and stability index $α$ vary. The MET from the interval (0,1) at the right boundary is finite if $λ {\sqrt2}$, the MET from (0,1) at this boundary is infinite. A larger stability index $α$ is less likely to lead to the extinction of the fish population.

Bilocal Bell inequalities violated by the quantum Elegant Joint Measurement

description: Network Bell experiments give rise to a form of quantum nonlocality that conceptually goes beyond Bell's theorem. We investigate here the simplest network, known as the bilocality scenario. We depart from the typical use of the Bell State Measurement in the network central node and instead introduce a family of symmetric iso-entangled measurement bases that generalise the so-called Elegant Joint Measurement. This leads us to report noise-tolerant quantum correlations that elude bilocal variable models. Inspired by these quantum correlations, we introduce network Bell inequalities for the bilocality scenario and show that they admit noise-tolerant quantum violations. In contrast to many previous studies of network Bell inequalities, neither our inequalities nor their quantum violations are based on standard Bell inequalities and standard quantum nonlocality. Moreover, we pave the way for an experimental realisation by presenting a simple two-qubit quantum circuit for the implementation of the Elegant Joint Measurement and our generalisation.
Modeling the Dust Spectral Energy Distributions of Dwarf Galaxies

description: Recent efforts on the modeling of the infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of dwarf galaxies are summarised here. The characterisation of the dust properties in these low metallicity environments is just unfolding, as a result of recently available mid-infrared to millimetre observations. From the limited cases we know to date, it appears that the hard radiation fields that are present in these star-bursting dwarf galaxies, as well as the rampent energetics of supernovae shocks and winds have modified the dust properties, in comparison with those in the Galaxy, or other gas and dust rich galaxies. The sophistication of the SED models is limited by the availability of detailed data in the mid infrared and particularly in the submillimetre to millimetre regime, which will open up in the near future with space-based missions, such as Herschel.

description: This method article proposes the establishment of a feasibility space as an objective to be achieved during the development of new technologies to convert energy from renewable resources. The feasibility space can also be a reference when designing an energy system based on renewable resources. The feasibility space is a set of parameter values for the design stage that define the economic and technical feasibility of an energy system or a new technology, which must be satisfied when the energy system comes into operation or when the new technology for converting power goes into operation. The study of possible feasibility spaces allows characterizing energy systems or new technologies as attractive investments, or on the other hand, as unfeasible ventures. - The method proposes to establish a goal to achieve during the development of technologies for energy conversion - The method provides a benchmark for both the stages of design and development of generation systems and new technologies - The feasibility space constitutes a planning tool for power systems based on renewable resources of any size

British Dilemmas: Arms Sales and Human Rights in Anglo-Iranian Relations (1968-1979)

description: This thesis examines the impact of the arms trade and human rights on British perceptions of and foreign policy towards Iran (1968 1979). This thesis aims to further understanding of Britain’s commercial interests in Iran and how this affected the UK’s response to developments leading to the fall of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in 197 9. By critically analysing archival documents, the thesis explains how inter departmental perceptions of Iran varied. After presenting the historical background and methodological considerations in the Introduction, Chapter One discusses the UK’s dilemma with regard to promoting British defence sales and contributing to Iran’s foreign indebtedness by analysing the views of both the Foreign and Commonwealth Office ( and the Ministry of Defence ( The chapter also highlights British views on the Shah’s personality and the lack of planning in Iranian arms procurement. Chapter Two explores Britain’s efforts to keep its share in the Iranian arms market. It also discusses the UK’s dilemma in terms of balancing arms sales with public criticism of Iran’s poo r human rights record. Chapter Three looks at Iranian discontent with the Shah’s regime. The chapter shows how Iran’s response to demands for political freedom caused a dilemma for the FCO authorities. Chapter Four, which examines the dilemmas described in Chapter Three, highlights the fundamental difference between the FCO and the Home Office ( in the case of the student occupation in 1975. It also discusses Foreign Secretary David Owen’s exchanges with the Iranians on the issue of human rights in 1977. The primary finding of this thesis is that the UK’s emphasis on its commercial interests in Iran blinded it to the rise in discontent with the Shah’s rule and the possible consequences of this. Secondly, it argues that the FCO adopted a norm of promoting British arms sales to Iran and avoiding criticism of the human rights record of the Iranian regime.

description: We study the efficiency and sensitivity of r-process nucleosynthesis to 18 light-element nuclear reaction rates. We adopt empirical power-law relations to parameterize the reaction sensitivities. We utilize two different hydrodynamic models for the neutrino-driven winds in order to study the dependence of our result on supernova wind models. We also utilize an exponential model to approximate a wide variety of other plausible conditions for the r-process. We identify several specific nuclear reactions among light neutron-rich nuclei that play a critical role in determining the final r-process nucleosynthesis yields. As an illustration, we examine ``semi-waiting'' points among the carbon isotopes. We show that not only neutron capture and $β$-decay, but also $(α, \mathrm{n})$ reactions are important in determining waiting points along the r-process path. Our numerical results from this sensitivity analysis serve foremost to clarify which light nuclear reactions are most influential in determining the final r-process abundances. We also quantify the effects of present nuclear uncertainties on the final r-process abundances. This study thus emphasizes and motivates which future determinations of nuclear reaction rates will most strongly impact our understanding of r-process nucleosynthesis.

THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF PUBLIC LAND USE

Subjects: Land Economics/Use

description: Federal ownership and management of the public lands have created a rent-seeking frenzy, inflated rhetoric, wasted resources, and squandered investment opportunities. The primary commodity user groups, grazers and timber harvesters, have declined in importance whereas conservationists and recreationists have gained. Still, historical use preferences and continued rent seeking have produced use entitlements that seem impervious to changing costs and demands and thus result in large wealth losses to consumers and taxpayers. Privatization of the public lands is probably politically infeasible, but simulated market processes can be used to replace political allocations and improve efficiency.
