description: Image noise can often be accurately fitted to a Poisson-Gaussian distribution. However, estimating the distribution parameters from a noisy image only is a challenging task. Here, we study the case when paired noisy and noise-free samples are accessible. No method is currently available to exploit the noise-free information, which may help to achieve more accurate estimations. To fill this gap, we derive a novel, cumulant-based, approach for Poisson-Gaussian noise modeling from paired image samples. We show its improved performance over different baselines, with special emphasis on MSE, effect of outliers, image dependence, and bias. We additionally derive the log-likelihood function for further insights and discuss real-world applicability.

description: We develop methods to calculate the electroweak gauge boson contribution to the effective Higgs potential in the context of composite Higgs models, using lattice gauge theory. The calculation is analogous to that of the electromagnetic mass splitting of the pion multiplet in QCD. We discuss technical details of carrying out this calculation, including modeling of the momentum and fermion-mass dependence of the underlying current-current correlation function; direct integration of the correlation function over momentum; and fits based on the minimal-hadron approximation. We show results of a numerical study using valence overlap fermions, carried out in an SU(4) gauge theory with two flavors of Dirac fermions in the two-index antisymmetric representation.

description: Gear hobbing is one of the most common soft-machining processes for pre-toothing. The process kinematics result in a characteristic tooth-ﬂank topography, which is mainly determined by so-called feed marks. For an economical ﬁnishing process by gear grinding in automotive applications, the feed-mark depths should not exceed a maximum value of 35 mm. In the present study the validity of this limit has been investigated in view of the development of increasingly powerful grinding machines and grinding wheels. For this purpose, gears with feed-mark depths dx below and above 35 mm were machined and ground by means of discontinuous proﬁle gear grinding afterwards. The inﬂuence of the feed marks on the grinding process with roughing parameters was systematically evaluated on the basis of various process variables such as the increase in spindle power Ps or the degree of grinding-wheel clogging Zs, while the resulting gear quality was mainly analyzed by various parameters to describe macro- and micro-geometry deviations of the ground tooth ﬂanks. With increasing feed-mark depth, an increase in spindle power was found due to the additional machined volume. An inﬂuence of increasing feed-mark depths on the clogging degree, the grinding-wheel wear and the gear quality could not be proven. Therefore, economical ﬁnishing of gears by gear grinding is also possible with feed-mark depths of more than 35 mm. A new deﬁnition of this limit should be sought.

description: Using AdS/CFT correspondence, we find that a massless quark moving at the speed of light $v=1$, in arbitrary direction, through a strongly coupled $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills (SYM) vacuum at $T=0$, in the presence of strong magnetic field $\mathcal{B}$, loses its energy at a rate linearly dependent on $\mathcal{B}$, i.e., $\frac{dE}{dt}=-\frac{\sqrtλ}{6π}\mathcal{B}$. We also show that a heavy quark of mass $M\neq 0$ moving at near the speed of light $v^2=v_{*}^2=1-\frac{4π^2 T^2}{\mathcal{B}}\simeq1$, in arbitrary direction, through a strongly coupled $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM plasma at finite temperature $T\neq 0$, in the presence of strong magnetic field $\mathcal{B}\gg T^2$, loses its energy at a rate linearly dependent on $\mathcal{B}$, i.e., $\frac{dE}{dt}=-\frac{\sqrtλ}{6π}\mathcal{B}v_{*}^2\simeq-\frac{\sqrtλ}{6π}\mathcal{B}$. Moreover, we argue that, in the strong magnetic field $\mathcal{B}\gg T^2$ (IR) regime, $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM and adjoint QCD theories (when the adjoint QCD theory has four flavors of Weyl fermions and is at its conformal IR fixed point $λ=λ^*$) have the same microscopic degrees of freedom (i.e., gluons and lowest Landau levels of Weyl fermions) even though they have quite different microscopic degrees of freedom in the UV when we consider higher Landau levels. Therefore, in the strong magnetic field $\mathcal{B}\gg T^2$ (IR) regime, the thermodynamic and hydrodynamic properties of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM and adjoint QCD plasmas, as well as the rates of energy loss of a quark moving through the plasmas, should be the same.

description: Using high-resolution data from Solar Orbiter, we investigate the plasma conditions necessary for the proton temperature anisotropy driven mirror-mode and oblique firehose instabilities to occur in the solar wind. We find that the unstable plasma exhibits dependencies on the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the bulk solar wind velocity which cannot be explained by the double-adiabatic expansion of the solar wind alone. The angle dependencies suggest that perpendicular heating in Alfvénic wind may be responsible. We quantify the occurrence rate of the two instabilities as a function of the length of unstable intervals as they are convected over the spacecraft. This analysis indicates that mirror-mode and oblique firehose instabilities require a spatial interval of length greater than 2 to 3 unstable wavelengths in order to relax the plasma into a marginally stable state and thus closer to thermodynamic equilibrium in the solar wind. Our analysis suggests that the conditions for these instabilities to act effectively vary locally on scales much shorter than the correlation length of solar wind turbulence.

description: HIV/AIDS has been one of the greatest challenges of our times since its discovery in the early 1980s. As of December 2003, the UNAIDS reported that 40 million people are living with HIV/AIDS. Yet the issue of AIDS was relatively slow in getting priority in the national agenda and it did not attract much mass media coverage at the beginning of the epidemic. Mass media are generally defined as those channels of communication, which are capable of reaching heterogeneous audiences simultaneously with uniform messages; they include radio, television, and newspapers and magazines. They are effective in raising awareness, increasing knowledge, changing attitudes and behavior. But considerable debate surrounds the effectiveness of the message; particularly at the beginning the epidemic the messages were frightening, sensational and over-dramatized. They were produced without due consideration and sometime resulted in stigma and discrimination. Hence the role of the mass media in HIV/AIDS is unquestionable but their use requires care and guidelines. Therefore, evaluation of these messages is absolutely important. The objective of this study was to assess how mass media messages of HIV/AIDS were designed and disseminated, their appropriateness and contents. The major study design was a qualitative study, which includes case studies and in-depth interviews. In addition a quantitative content analysis was conducted on the Addis Zemen and Ethiopian Herald newspapers. The study was conducted from December 2003 to February 2004. V The study identified training of journalists on HIV/AIDS as being inadequate and the lack of media networking. In addition no ethical guidelines and mass media policy on HIV/AIDS were to be found. Based on the findings, appropriate recommendations were made for improvement in the deficient areas. Keywords: Evaluation, mass media, case studies, in-depth interviews, content analysis.

description: Mate choice decisions and behavior contribute to long-term evolutionary outcomes. Understanding the genetic architecture encapsulating mate choice is an important metric in identifying the drivers and variability in those decisions. To address this question, female sailfin mollies (Poecilia latipinna) in 2 groups (exposed to two male models or two female models) underwent a social behavioral assay (30 minutes in total) in which two social-choice behaviors (preference and social affiliation) were measured. To capture the genes underlying these decisions, the brains of each female were sequenced (Illumina RNA-seq) directly following the behavioral assay.

description: The micromagnetic Barkhausen Noise (BN) measurements bear the capability of providing non-destructively information about the condition of the surface integrity of ground workpieces. No unambiguous statements about the surface and subsurface area state can be made by evaluating single measured micromagnetic values if a superposition of different effects in the microstructure as a consequence of high thermomechanical loads occur. Especially for highly stressed components in automotive industry or in wind energy systems, case hardenend steels are deployed. These steels are often ﬁnished at the end of their process chain by a grinding process. At this point, the workpieces to be ground have already achieved enormous created added value. For productivity reasons, grinding should be carried out close to the process limit. To avoid undesirable phase transformations in the microstructure, process models such as the process model from Malkin can be used. If a grinding process consists of several process steps it must be ensured that the ﬁnal process step leads to the intended surface and subsurface properties. In order to make the process design as productive as possible, an in-process measurement signal which correlates to the current state of the surface and subsurface area can help to achieve this result. Ideally this signal is applicable to generate an adaptive grinding process. Such a signal is investigated in this paper by application of BN as an in-process measurement technology. The paper shows the reliability of BN measurements as well as that there are different maximum BN amplitudes for different material removal rates. It is expected that these BN values correlate particularly to the residual stresses in the surface and subsurface area since Malkin's grinding burning limit was used to exclude (strong) phase transformations. Considering a micromagnetic parameter measured in-process a reduction of process time of 37% and thus a signiﬁcant process improvement was achieved.

description: The {\sl TESS} space mission has recently demonstrated its great potential to discover new pulsating white dwarf and pre-white dwarf stars, and to detect periodicities with high precision in already known white-dwarf pulsators. We report the discovery of two new pulsating He-rich atmosphere white dwarfs (DBVs) and present a detailed asteroseismological analysis of three already known DBV stars employing observations collected by the {\sl TESS} mission along with ground-based data. We extracted frequencies from the {\sl TESS} light curves of these DBV stars using a standard pre-whitening procedure to derive the potential pulsation frequencies. All the oscillation frequencies that we found are associated with $g$-mode pulsations with periods spanning from $\sim 190$ s to $\sim 936$ s. We find hints of rotation from frequency triplets in some of the targets, including the two new DBVs. For three targets, we find constant period spacings, which allowed us to infer their stellar masses and constrain the harmonic degree $\ell$ of the modes. We also performed period-to-period fit analyses and found an asteroseismological model for three targets, with stellar masses generally compatible with the spectroscopic masses. Obtaining seismological models allowed us to estimate the seismological distances and compare them with the precise astrometric distances measured with {\it Gaia}. We find a good agreement between the seismic and the astrometric distances for three stars (PG~1351+489, EC~20058$-$5234, and EC~04207$-$4748), although for the other two stars (WD~J152738.4$-$50207 and WD~1708$-$871), the discrepancies are substantial. The high-quality data from the {\sl TESS} mission continue to provide important clues to determine the internal structure of pulsating pre-white dwarf and white dwarf stars through the tools of asteroseismology.

Filtration

description: Water filtration technology is a widely used treatment process to remove contaminants such as organics and bacteria. Granular media and membrane filtration are two main processes that have been thoroughly studied. Media filtration, such as slow sand filtration (SSF) and rapid sand filtration (RSF), commonly act as pretreatment steps in water treatment trains to reduce turbidity and suspended solids. SSF can achieve reductions in bacteria but operates at a low loading rate, making the implementation of SSF unrealistic for municipal or industrial applications. RSF operates at higher loading rates but with decreased removal of bacteria. Membrane filtration effectively removes a wide variety of contaminants due to size exclusion. However, the main drawback to membrane filtration is the accumulation of microorganisms and organics on the surface, which causes increased cost through energy consumption and cleaning, and decreased rejection of contaminants. The drawbacks of these filtration technologies demonstrate the need for sustainable, multifunctional filters that achieve high organics and bacteria removal. In this work, we combine two natural materials from Moringa oleifera (MO) and Ceiba pentandra (kapok) to create a sustainable natural fiber filter. MO antimicrobial peptides were shown to adsorb to hydrophobic kapok fibers to provide 7-log (99.99999%) E. coli removal. The effects of flowrate and salinity on E. coli removal were quantified and revealed kapok filters’ ability to maintain 99.9% E. coli removal at loading rates approaching that of rapid sand filtration. The oleophilic nature of kapok fibers was confirmed through kapok filters’ ability to remove 97% of canola oil from an oil-in-water emulsion. We demonstrate high (>99.4%) canola oil removal with simultaneous 5-log removal (99.999%) of bacteria from an oil-in-water emulsion under moderately saline conditions (75 mM ionic strength). This filter improves upon existing media filtration and can act as a pre-filter for membrane applications to reduce biofouling.

Consumers as naive physicists : how visual entropy cues shift temporal focus and influence product evaluations

description: Marketers often use images to promote their products. For example, an advertisement for kitchen tools might display the tools alongside various ingredients; likewise, an advertisement for a bookstore might showcase pictures of the store’s interior. One underlying visual characteristic of such images is the degree of “entropy”—or disorder—in their content. Using a fundamental principle from physics—namely, that entropy can only increase over time—as the starting point, my dissertation examines how entropy influences consumers’ judgments and decisions. Specifically, my first essay demonstrates that while high-entropy images shift consumers’ temporal focus to the past, low-entropy images shift their temporal focus to the future. Further, my second essay shows that entropy-induced shifts in temporal focus influence consumers’ decisions. Specifically, consistent with the notion of “temporal fit fluency,” I find that consumers evaluate past-related (e.g., vintage) products more favorably when they are accompanied by high-entropy images, and they evaluate future-related (e.g., futuristic) products more favorably when these products are accompanied by low-entropy images.

description: In a recent review it was shown that the cross sections of $α$-induced reactions in the $A \approx 20 - 50$ mass range follow a general and smooth trend in most cases. For comparison of cross sections of different targets at various energies the method of reduced cross sections $σ_{\rm{red}}$ and reduced energies $E_{\rm{red}}$ was used. Four outliers were identified: $^{36}$Ar and $^{40}$Ar with unusally small cross sections and $^{23}$Na and $^{33}$S with unusually large cross sections. New data for $^{23}$Na were presented at this NPA-7 conference; contrary to the previous data, these new data fit into the general systematics. In addition, a relation between the most effective energy $E_0$ for astrophysical reaction rates (the so-called Gamow window) and the reduced energy $E_{\rm{red}}$ is presented.

description: Women in the Workforce: How COVID-19 Erased 50 Years of Progress seeks to provide a holistic understanding of the impact COVID-19 had on women’s labor force participation rate. COVID-19 has impacted almost every aspect of our lives for the last three years; however, one of the most surprising and devastating consequences was its effect on female employment. During the pandemic, women in the United States were participating in the labor force at the lowest rate since the 1970s. This thesis attempts to understand the causes, effects, significance, and solution of this issue. It will act as a “one-stop” shop for anyone trying to explore this problem. Equal attention is given to academic papers and opinion articles, explaining the numbers, and giving a voice to the women behind the numbers. While much of the data focuses on the United States, attention is given to other countries as this problem is a worldwide phenomenon. This paper aims to illuminate a problem unknown to most people and provide concrete, tangible solutions. As we transition away from a world consumed by COVID-19, we must not leave women behind.

description: According to NSDUH (National Survey on Drug Use and Health), 20 million Americans consumed drugs in the past few 30 days. Combating illicit drug use is of great interest to public health and law enforcement agencies. Despite of the importance, most of the existing studies on drug uses rely on surveys. Surveys on sensitive topics such as drug use may not be answered truthfully by the people taking them. Selecting a representative sample to survey is another major challenge. In this paper, we explore the possibility of using big multimedia data, including both images and text, from social media in order to discover drug use patterns at fine granularity with respect to demographics. Instagram posts are searched and collected by drug related terms by analyzing the hashtags supplied with each post. A large and dynamic dictionary of frequent drug related slangs is used to find these posts. User demographics are extracted using robust face image analysis algorithms. These posts are then mined to find common trends with regard to the time and location they are posted, and further in terms of age and gender of the drug users. Furthermore, by studying the accounts followed by the users of drug related posts, we extract common interests shared by drug users.

description: Refractory multi-principal element alloys exhibiting promising mechanical properties such as excellent strength retention at elevated temperatures have been attracting increasing attention. Although their inherent chemical complexity is considered a defining feature, a challenge arises in predicting local chemical ordering, particularly in grain boundary regions with enhanced structural disorder. In this study, we use atomistic simulations of a large group of bicrystal models to sample a wide variety of interfacial sites (grain boundary) in NbMoTaW and explore emergent trends in interfacial segregation and the underlying structural and chemical driving factors. Sampling hundreds of bicrystals along the [001] symmetric tilt axis and analyzing more than one hundred and thirty thousand grain boundary sites with a variety of local atomic environments, we uncover segregation trends in NbMoTaW. While Nb is the dominant segregant, more notable are the segregation patterns that deviate from expected behavior and mark situations where local structural and chemical driving forces lead to interesting segregation events. For example, incomplete depletion of Ta in low-angle boundaries results from chemical pinning due to favorable local compositional environments associated with chemical short-range ordering. Finally, machine learning models capturing and comparing the structural and chemical features of interfacial sites are developed to weigh their relative importance and contributions to segregation tendency, revealing a significant increase in predictive capability when including local chemical information. Overall, this work, highlighting the complex interplay between local grain boundary structure and chemical short-range ordering, suggest tunable segregation and chemical ordering by tailoring grain boundary structure in multi-principal element alloys.

Intention of medical student to work in rural setting and associated factors among the public Universities undergraduate medical students of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Achiso, Berhanu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Background: Health workforce demand and supply increased last two decade. In Ethiopia, about 84% of the country"s total populations live in rural areas. However, shortages and imbalances in physician workforce distribution between urban and rural areas among different regions are enormous. A little was known about medical students" intention to work in the rural area after completing medical school. This study was done to assess the intention of undergraduate medical students towards rural work settings and to identify factors associated with intention to work in the rural areas. Methods: A cross-sectional study was employed in January to April 2018 among 342 (254 male Vs 88 female) medical students (year IV to Year V) in three public medical schools in Ethiopia. Stratified random sampling technique was used. The pretested self-administered questionnaires were used. Data was entered into EPI-data version 3.1 and exported to Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 24 for analysis. A bivariate and multivariate analysis of logistic regression was used to identify associated factors with 95% of confidence interval. Results: This study found that; 24.9% of participants are intended to work in the rural areas. The odds of intention to work in the rural area were higher among the male and Addis Ababa University medical students" as compared with the females, Wolayita Sodo, and Wachemo Universities medical students. As independent predictors: gender (AOR = 2.125[1.012, 4.462]), study medical colleges (AOR [C.I] = 2.926[1.299, 6.589]), career advancement (AOR [C.I] = 2.911[1.377, 6.154]), availability of medical equipment (AOR [C.I] = 3.524[1.140, 10.892]), and type of hospital (AOR [C.I] = 6.572[2.716, 15.904]) were significantly associated factors. Conclusion: Majority of Ethiopian medical students" intention were less likely to work in the rural setting and primary hospitals. Gender, medical school, availability of essential medical equipment, and expansion of career advancement were associated factors with intention of medical students to work in the rural setting after graduation. Enrolling altruistic and rural background students into medical schools and influencing the attitude of medical students to work in rural location are expected to create graduates who are more likely to work in rural settings. Improving essential medical equipment is also more likely to create encouraged graduates.

description: Aims. Stars with strong enhancements of r-process elements are rare and tend to be metal-poor, with generally [Fe/H] <-2 dex and found in the halo. In this work we aim to investigate a candidate r-process enriched bulge star with a relatively high metallicity of -0.65 dex, and compare it with a previously published r-rich candidate star in the bulge. Methods. We reconsider the abundance analysis of a high-resolution optical spectrum of the red-giant star 2MASS J18082459-2548444 and determine its europium (Eu) and molybdenum (Mo) abundance, using stellar parameters from five different previous studies. Applying 2MASS photometry, Gaia astrometry and kinematics, we estimate distance, orbits, and population membership of 2MASS J18082459-2548444 and a previously reported r-enriched star 2MASS J18174532-3353235. Results. We find that 2MASS J18082459-2548444 is a relatively metal rich enriched r-process star that is enhanced in Eu and Mo but not substantially enhanced in s-process elements. It has a high probability of membership in the Galactic bulge based on its distance and orbit. We find that both stars show r-process enhancement with elevated [Eu/Fe]-values, even though 2MASS J18174532-3353235 is 1 dex lower in metallicity. Additionally, we find that 2MASS J18174532-3353235 plausibly has a halo or thick disc origin. Conclusions. We conclude that 2MASS J18082459-2548444 represents the first example of a confirmed r-process enhanced star confined to the inner bulge, possibly a relic from a period of enrichment associated with the formation of the bar.

description: Konoplya and Zhidenko have proposed recently a rotating non-Kerr black hole metric beyond General Relativity and make an estimate for the possible deviations from the Kerr solution with the data of GW 150914. We here study the strong gravitational lensing in such a rotating non-Kerr spacetime with an extra deformation parameter. We find that the condition of existence of horizons is not inconsistent with that of the marginally circular photon orbit. Moreover, the deflection angle of the light ray near the weakly naked singularity covered by the marginally circular orbit diverges logarithmically in the strong-field limit. In the case of the completely naked singularity, the deflection angle near the singularity tends to a certain finite value, whose sign depends on the rotation parameter and the deformation parameter. These properties of strong gravitational lensing are different from those in the Johannsen-Psaltis rotating non-Kerr spacetime and in the Janis-Newman-Winicour spacetime. Modeling the supermassive central object of the Milk Way Galaxy as a Konoplya-Zhidenko rotating non-Kerr compact object, we estimated the numerical values of observables for the strong gravitational lensing including the time delay between two relativistic images.

description: This report will study financing options for Our Future 35, a cap and stitch project along Interstate 35 in Austin, TX. A cap and stitch highway design features a sunken roadway with stretches of buildable park land (cap) and widened bridges that are more pedestrian and bicycle friendly (stitch). Historically, I-35 has served not only as a physical divider of the city, making it difficult for residents of East Austin to access other parts of the city, but as a racial, social, and economic divider as well. As part of a larger project, I-35 Capital Express, Our Future 35 will reconfigure a 10 mile stretch of the interstate to allow for expansion of the interstate while providing better connectivity between the east and west halves of Austin. Although the Texas Department of Transportation has announced an estimated $7.5 billion for the expansion, this has been allocated for pedestrian and bicycle improvements, access and egress improvements, and the managed lanes, not the cap and stitch portion. The Urban Land Institute estimates Our Future 35 costs to be around $313 million, but funding solutions are still in the air. In exploring financing options for the project, this report will look at: Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ), which leverages the expected increase in tax revenue to secure loans for upfront costs for public infrastructure improvements; Transportation Reinvestment Zone (TRZ),which similarly uses increased tax revenue to finance transportation specific projects; and Impact Fees, payments made by new developments to provide public services. This report will also assess case studies that have either used these financing mechanisms, or are similar in project scope to Our Future 35, including: The Triangle Project, Dripping Springs; Lumpkin Road Drainage and Mobility Improvements, Houston; Eastlake Extension Project, Horizon City and Klyde Warren Park, Dallas. Due to the nature of state by state governance and ordinances differing greatly from one another, only Texas case studies have been chosen.

description: Nanoswimmers are ubiquitous in bio- and nano-technology but are extremely challenging to measure due to their minute size and driving forces. A simple method is proposed for detecting the elusive physical features of nanoswimmers by observing how they affect the motion of much larger, easily traceable particles. Modeling the swimmers as hydrodynamic force dipoles, we find direct, easy-to-calibrate relations between the observable power spectrum and diffusivity of the tracers and the dynamic characteristics of the swimmers: their force dipole moment and correlation times.

description: Traceability of length measurements to the international system of units (SI) can be realized by using optical interferometry. This paper describes PTB´s new double-ended interferometer, which is used to determine the absolute length of prismatic bodies (e.g. gauge blocks) from the analysis of two sets of interferograms measured simultaneously on opposite sides. Wringing the gauge block to a platen to form an optical step, as it is used in traditional gauge block comparators, is not required. In return, the influence of wavefront aberrations on the measured length is increased due to larger optical path lengths. A first idea for a correction method is presented in this paper.

description: The present paper deals with the analysis of the current situation of the Municipality of Elliniko - Argyroupoli, in the region of Attica in Greece, regarding the sustainable urban resilience to impending disasters. The disasters are divided into natural and technological, of which natural disasters have affected the Municipality of Elliniko - Argyroupoli in recent years. Climate change, the increasing trend of urbanization, and the city's complexity are among the main reasons that necessitate urban resilience to prevent, respond to, and recover from a variety of impending disasters. The operational plans for civil protection, combined with the sustainable urban mobility plans and the waste management plans of the Municipality of Elliniko - Argyroupoli, make it a model municipality for achieving urban resilience. Through the results of the questionnaire, conclusions are drawn that could be considered useful both for the further analysis of the current situation and for the design of future policies.

description: The solution to the linearized Einstein equation in de Sitter (dS) spacetime and the corresponding two-point function are explicitly written down in a gauge with two parameters `$a$' and `$b$'. The quantization procedure, independent of the choice of the coordinate system, is based on a rigorous group theoretical approach. Our result takes the form of a universal spin-two (transverse-traceless) sector and a gauge-dependent spin-zero (pure-trace) sector. Scalar equations are derived for the structure functions of each part. We show that the spin-two sector can be written as the resulting action of a second-order differential operator (the spin-two projector) on a massless minimally coupled scalar field (the spin-two structure function). The operator plays the role of a symmetric rank-$2$ polarization tensor and has a spacetime dependence. The calculated spin-two projector grows logarithmically with distance and also no dS-invariant solution for either structure functions exist. We show that the logarithmically growing part and the dS-breaking contribution to the spin-zero part can be dropped out, respectively, for suitable choices of parameters `$a$' and `$b$'. Considering the transverse-traceless graviton two-point function, however, shows that dS breaking is universal (cannot be gauged away). More exactly, if one wants to respect the covariance and positiveness conditions, the quantization of the dS graviton field (as for any gauge field) cannot be carried out directly in a Hilbert space and involves unphysical negative norm states. However, a suitable adaptation (Krein spaces) of the Gupta-Bleuler scheme for massless fields, based on the group theoretical approach, enables us to obtain the corresponding two-point function satisfying the conditions of locality, covariance, transversality, index symmetrizer, and tracelessness.
