description: Structural, electronic, and transport properties of ScNiSb, ScPdSb, and ScPtSb were investigated from first principles. Electronic band structures derived within the fully relativistic MBJLDA approach were compared with those obtained from the standard GGA calculations. All the compounds studied exhibit indirect narrow band gaps (0.24-0.63 eV). The effective masses of hole-like carriers are relatively small (0.27-0.36), and decrease with an increasing atomic number of the transition metal component. The carrier relaxation time, required for realistic calculations of the electrical conductivity, was approximated within the deformation potential theory. The GGA approach yielded overestimated transport characteristics with respect to those derived within the MBJLDA analysis. The largest power factor of 4-6 mWK^-2m^-1 ) at high temperatures was obtained for ScPtSb. This value is comparable with those observed experimentally for Fe-Nb-Sb half-Heusler alloys, and hence makes ScPtSb a very good candidate material for thermoelectric applications.

description: We present a general method to calculate the quasi-stationary state of a driven-dissipative system coupled to a transmission line (and more generally, to a reservoir) under periodic modulation of its parameters. Using Floquet's theorem, we formulate the differential equation for the system's density operator which has to be solved for a single period of modulation. On this basis we also provide systematic expansions in both the adiabatic and high-frequency regime. Applying our method to three different systems -- two- and three-level models as well as the driven nonlinear cavity -- we propose periodic modulation protocols of parameters leading to a temporary suppression of effective dissipation rates, and study the arising non-adiabatic features in the response of these systems.

description: A certain generalization of the algebra $gl(N,{\bf R})$ of first-order differential operators acting on a space of inhomogeneous polynomials in ${\bf R}^{N-1}$ is constructed. The generators of this (non)Lie algebra depend on permutation operators. It is shown that the Hamiltonian of the $N$-body Calogero model can be represented as a second-order polynomial in the generators of this algebra. Given representation implies that the Calogero Hamiltonian possesses infinitely-many, finite-dimensional invariant subspaces with explicit bases, which are closely related to the finite-dimensional representations of above algebra. This representation is an alternative to the standard representation of the Bargmann-Fock type in terms of creation and annihilation operators.

description: Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) exhibit an exceptionally strong Coulomb interaction between charge carriers due to the two-dimensional carrier confinement in connection with weak dielectric screening. High densities of excited charge carriers in the various band-structure valleys cause strong many-body renormalizations that influence both the electronic properties and the optical response of the material. We investigate electronic and optical properties of the typical monolayer TMDCs MoS$_2$, MoSe$_2$, WS$_2$ and WSe$_2$ in the presence of excited carriers by solving semiconductor Bloch equations on the full Brillouin zone. With increasing carrier density, we systematically find a reduction of the exciton binding energies due to Coulomb screening and Pauli blocking. Together with excitation-induced band-gap shrinkage this leads to redshifts of excitonic resonances up to the dissociation of excitons. As a central result, we predict for all investigated monolayer TMDCs that the $Σ$-valley shifts stronger than the K-valley. Two of the materials undergo a transition from direct to indirect band gaps under carrier excitation similar to well-known strain-induced effects. Our findings have strong implications for the filling of conduction-band valleys with excited carriers and are relevant to transport and optical applications as well as the emergence of phonon-driven superconductivity.
On the fundamental representation of Borcherds algebras with one imaginary simple root

description: Borcherds algebras represent a new class of Lie algebras which have almost all the properties that ordinary Kac-Moody algebras have, and the only major difference is that these generalized Kac-Moody algebras are allowed to have imaginary simple roots. The simplest nontrivial examples one can think of are those where one adds ``by hand'' one imaginary simple root to an ordinary Kac-Moody algebra. We study the fundamental representation of this class of examples and prove that an irreducible module is given by the full tensor algebra over some integrable highest weight module of the underlying Kac-Moody algebra. We also comment on possible realizations of these Lie algebras in physics as symmetry algebras in quantum field theory.

description: The mechanisms underlying glucocorticoid (GC)-increased adiposity are poorly understood. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) acquires white adipose tissue (WAT) cell features defined as BAT whitening under certain circumstances. The aim of our current study was to investigate the possibility and mechanisms of GC-induced BAT whitening. Here, we showed that one-week dexamethasone (Dex) treatment induced BAT whitening, characterized by lipid droplet accumulation, in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, autophagy and ATG7 (autophagy related 7) expression was induced in BAT by Dex, and treatment with the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine or adenovirus-mediated ATG7 knockdown prevented Dex-induced BAT whitening and fat mass gain. Moreover, Dex-increased ATG7 expression and autophagy was mediated by enhanced expression of BTG1 (B cell translocation gene 1, anti-proliferative) that stimulated activity of CREB1 (cAMP response element binding protein 1). The importance of BTG1 in this regulation was further demonstrated by the observed BAT whitening in adipocyte-specific BTG1-overexpressing mice and the attenuated Dex-induced BAT whitening and fat mass gain in mice with BTG1 knockdown in BAT. Taken together, we showed that Dex induces a significant whitening of BAT via BTG1- and ATG7-dependent autophagy, which might contribute to Dex-increased adiposity. These results provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying GC-increased adiposity and possible strategy for preventing GC-induced side effects via the combined use of an autophagy inhibitor.

description: This paper considers a Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network, where the base station (BS) with a large number of antennas communicates with a smaller number of users. The signals are transmitted using frequency division duplex (FDD) mode. The problem of user scheduling with reduced overhead of channel estimation in the uplink of Massive MIMO systems has been investigated. We consider the COST 2100 channel model. In this paper, we first propose a new user selection algorithm based on knowledge of the geometry of the service area and of location of clusters, without having full channel state information (CSI) at the BS. We then show that the correlation in geometry-based stochastic channel models (GSCMs) arises from the common clusters in the area. In addition, exploiting the closed-form Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLB)s, the analysis for the robustness of the proposed scheme to cluster position errors is presented. It is shown by analysing the capacity upper-bound that the capacity strongly depends on the position of clusters in the GSCMs and users in the system. Simulation results show that although the BS receiver does not require the channel information of all users, by the proposed geometry-based user scheduling (GUS) algorithm the sum-rate of the system is only slightly less than the well-known greedy weight clique (GWC) scheme \cite{SUSGoldsmithGlobcom,ITC09_Userselection_GWC}. {Finally, the robustness of the proposed algorithm to cluster localization is verified by the simulation results.

description: Despite intensive research, fouling remains a severe problem in membrane filtration. It is often controlled by applying turbulent flow which requires a higher energy consumption. So-called turbulence promoters or static mixers can be inserted into the flow channel of tubular membranes. They deflect the fluid, induce vortices, enhance particle back-transport and increase the shear rate at the membrane surface, thus mitigating fouling. However, little is known how the geometry of such turbulence promotors affects the reduction of fouling. We investigate how different 3D-printed mixer geometries affect fouling and improve the flux during filtration with humic acid. Most mixer geometries used in the present study are based on a twisted tape; a Kenics static mixer is investigated as well. Static mixers with changing diameter prove to be less effective than twisted tape mixers with constant diameter which lead to an increase in permeate flux of around 130%. The highest flux improvement of 140% can be reached by applying a Kenics mixer. Regardless of their geometry, all investigated static mixer cause higher permeate fluxes at same specific energy consumption. Again, the Kenics mixer proves to be the most efficient static mixer. The presented mixer geometries can be fabricated with undercut injection molding techniques and represent a simple and viable option to make tubular membrane based filtration processes more efficient.

Quantum deformed versions of either the space--time or space symmetry algebras (Poincaré (3+1), Galilei (3+1), 4D Euclidean as well as others) appear in this context as particular cases and several $q$-deformations for them are directly obtained.

description: When an elastic object is dragged through a viscous fluid tangent to a rigid boundary, it experiences a lift force perpendicular to its direction of motion. An analogous lift mechanism occurs when a rigid symmetric object translates parallel to an elastic interface or a soft substrate. The induced lift force is attributed to an elastohydrodynamic coupling that arises from the breaking of the flow reversal symmetry induced by the elastic deformation of the translating object or the interface. Here we derive explicit analytical expressions for the quasi-steady state lift force exerted on a rigid spherical particle translating parallel to a finite-sized membrane exhibiting a resistance toward both shear and bending. Our analytical approach proceeds through the application of the Lorentz reciprocal theorem so as to obtain the solution of the flow problem using a perturbation technique for small deformations of the membrane. We find that the shear-related contribution to the normal force leads to an attractive interaction between the particle and the membrane. This emerging attractive force decreases quadratically with the system size to eventually vanish in the limit of an infinitely-extended membrane. In contrast, membrane bending leads to a repulsive interaction whose effect becomes more pronounced upon increasing the system size, where the lift force is found to diverge logarithmically for an infinitely-large membrane. The unphysical divergence of the bending-induced lift force can be rendered finite by regularizing the solution with a cut-off length beyond which the bending forces become subdominant to an external body force.

description: This thesis delves into the intricate interplay of knowledge, perception, and nursing practices in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) concerning the prevention of Ventilator- Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Employing a multifaceted approach, encompassing t- tests, ANOVA, Bonferroni correction, and descriptive statistics, the study unravels the nuanced relationship between nurses' awareness, attitudes, and the execution of evidence-based practices. The findings underscore the pivotal role of education in shaping these dynamics, with variations noted in practices such as oral care and subglottic secretion suctioning. Critical comparisons with existing literature shed light on the significance of tailored interventions that consider not only educational backgrounds but also the broader spectrum of factors influencing nursing practices in the ICU.

description: Combining first-principles density functional method and crystal structure prediction techniques, we report a series of hexagonal two-dimensional (2D) transition metal borides (TMBs) including Sc2B2, Ti2B2, V2B2, Cr2B2, Y2B2, Zr2B2, and Mo2B2. Their dynamic and thermal stabilities are testified by phonon and molecular dynamics simulations. We investigate the potential of 2D Ti2B2 monolayer as the anode material for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and Na-ion batteries (NIBs). The Ti2B2 monolayer possesses high theoretical specific capacities of 456 and 1027 mAhg-1 for Li and Na, respectively. The very high Li/Na diffusivity with ultralow energy barrier of 0.017/0.008 eV indicates an excellent charge-discharge capability. In addition, the good electronic conductivity during the whole lithiation process is found by electronic structure calculations. The very small change in volume after the adsorption of one, two, and three layers of Li and Na ions indicates that the Ti2B2 monolayer is robust. These results highlight the suitability of Ti2B2 monolayer as well as the other 2D TMBs as excellent anode materials for both LIBs and NIBs.

Employing ellipsoidal coordinates we show that this problem is integrable and separable, extending the results of the odd dimensional case discussed in arXiv:1703.00713. We find the general solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equations for these systems and present explicit expressions for the Liouville integrals, discuss Killing tensors and the associated constants of motion. We analyze special cases of the background near-horizon geometry were the system possesses more constants of motion and is hence superintegrable. Finally, we consider near-horizon extremal vanishing horizon case which happens for Myers-Perry black holes in odd dimensions and show that geodesic equations on this geometry are also separable and work out its integrals of motion.

description: A previous paper (hep-lat/9311011) proposed a new kind of random walk on a spherically-symmetric lattice in arbitrary noninteger dimension $D$. Such a lattice avoids the problems associated with a hypercubic lattice in noninteger dimension. This paper examines the nature of spherically-symmetric random walks in detail. We perform a large-time asymptotic analysis of these random walks and use the results to determine the Hausdorff dimension of the process. We obtain exact results in terms of Hurwitz functions (incomplete zeta functions) for the probability of a walker going from one region of the spherical lattice to another. Finally, we show that the probability that the paths of $K$ independent random walkers will intersect vanishes in the continuum limit if $D> {{2K}\over{K-1}}$.

description: Temporal and spectral characteristics of X-ray emission from 60 flares of intensity $\ge$C class observed by Solar X-ray Spectrometer (SOXS) during 2003-2011 are presented. We analyse the X-ray emission observed in four and three energy bands by the Si and CZT detectors, respectively. The number of peaks in the intensity profile of the flares varies between 1 and 3. We find moderate correlation (R$\simeq$0.2) between the rise time and the peak flux of the first peak of the flare irrespective to energy band, which is indicative of its energy-independent nature. Moreover, magnetic field complexity of the flaring region is found to be anti-correlated (R=0.61) with the rise time of the flares while positively correlated (R=0.28) with the peak flux of the flare. The time delay between the peak of the X-ray emission in a given energy band and that in the 25-30 keV decreases with increasing energy suggesting conduction cooling to be dominant in the lower energies. Analysis of 340 spectra from 14 flares reveals that the peak of Differential Emission Measure (DEM) evolution delays by 60-360 s relative to that of the temperature, and this time delay is inversely proportional to the peak flux of the flare. We conclude that temporal and intensity characteristics of flares are energy dependent as well as magnetic field configuration of the active region.

Naked Singularities as Possible Candidates for Gamma-ray Bursters

description: Naked singularities appear naturally in dynamically evolving solutions of Einstein equations involving gravitational collapse of radiation, dust and perfect fluids, provided the rate of accretion is less than a critical value. We propose that the gamma-ray bursters (GRBs) are examples of these naked singularity solutions. For illustration, we show that according to solutions involving spherically symmetric collapse of pure radiation field, the energy $E_γ$ and the observed duration $Δt_o$ of a GRB should satisfy, $\frac{E_γ}{Δt_o} \leq 4.5 \times 10^{58} \ f_γ$ erg sec$^{-1}$, $f_γ$ being the fraction ($10^{-2}$ to $10^{-3}$) of energy released as gamma rays. All the presently observed GRBs satisfy this condition; those satisfying the condition close to equality must necessarily be of cosmological origin with the red-shift factor $z$ not exceeding $\sim 2-10$ depending on exact observed flux.

description: Gravitational-wave interferometers are expected to monitor the last three minutes of inspiral and final coalescence of neutron star and black hole binaries at distances approaching cosmological, where the event rate may be many per year. Because the binary's accumulated orbital phase can be measured to a fractional accuracy $\ll 10^{-3}$ and relativistic effects are large, the waveforms will be far more complex, carry more information, and be far harder to model theoretically than has been expected. Theorists must begin now to lay a foundation for extracting the waves' information.

The nonlinear states of viscous capillary jets confined in the axial direction

description: We report an experimental and theoretical study of the global stability and nonlinear dynamics of vertical jets of viscous liquid confined in the axial direction due to their impact on a bath of the same liquid. Previous works demonstrated that in the absence of axial confinement the steady liquid thread becomes unstable due to an axisymmetric global mode for values of the flow rate, $Q$, below a certain critical value, $Q_c$, giving rise to oscillations of increasing amplitude that finally lead to a dripping regime (Sauter & Buggisch, J. Fluid Mech., 2005; Rubio-Rubio et al., J. Fluid Mech., 2013). Here we focus on the effect of the jet length, $L$, on the transitions that take place for decreasing values of $Q$. The linear stability analysis shows good agreement with our experiments, revealing that $Q_c$ increases monotonically with $L$, reaching the semi-infinite jet asymptote for large values of $L$. Moreover, as $L$ decreases a quasi-static limit is reached, whereby $Q_c \to 0$ and the neutral conditions are given by a critical length determined by hydrostatics. Our experiments have also revealed the existence of a new regime intermediate between steady jetting and dripping, in which the thread reaches a limit-cycle state without breakup. We thus show that there exist three possible states depending on the values of the control parameters, namely steady jetting, oscillatory jetting and dripping. For two different combinations of liquid viscosity, and injector radius, $R$, the boundaries separating these regimes have been determined in the $Q-L$ parameter plane, showing that steady jetting exists for small enough values of $L$ or large enough values of $Q$, dripping prevails for small enough values of $Q$ or sufficiently large values of $L$, and oscillatory jetting takes place in an intermediate region whose size increases with the liquid viscosity and decreases with $R$.

description: This paper is a study of monoidal categories with duals where the tensor product need not be commutative. The motivating examples are categories of representations of Hopf algebras and the motivating application is the definition of 6j-symbols as used in topological field theories. We introduce the new notion of a spherical category. In the first section we prove a coherence theorem for a monoidal category with duals following MacLane (1963). In the second section we give the definition of a spherical category, and construct a natural quotient which is also spherical. In the third section we define spherical Hopf algebras so that the category of representations is spherical. Examples of spherical Hopf algebras are involutory Hopf algebras and ribbon Hopf algebras. Finally we study the natural quotient in these cases and show it is semisimple.
