Self-gravity in thin-disc simulations of protoplanetary discs: smoothing length rectified and generalised to bi-fluids

description: To mimic protoplanetary discs (PPDs) evolution, 2D simulations with self-gravity must introduce a softening prescription of the gravitational potential. When the disc is only made of gas the smoothing length is proportional to the gas scale height. On the other hand when a dust component is included, the question arises as whether the smoothing length approach can still be used to quantify not only the dust self-gravity but also its gravitational interaction with gas. We identified grey areas in the standard smoothing length formalism for computing self-gravity in PPDs uniquely made of gas. We revisit the smoothing length approach which is then generalised to two phases when the dust component can be considered as a pressureless fluid. Analytical developments are used to approximate the vertically averaged self-gravity when the smoothing length is not assumed to be constant but rather a spatial function. We obtained an analytical expression for the space varying smoothing length, which strongly improves the accuracy of the self-gravity computation. For the first time, this method is generalised to address bi-fluid interactions in a PPD: two additional smoothing lengths are proposed for featuring an isolated dusty disc and gas-dust self-gravity interactions. We checked that our method remains compatible with standard fast Fourier transform algorithms and evaluated computational costs. Our space varying smoothing length permits (i) to solve the contradictions inherent to a constant smoothing length hypothesis, (ii) to fit accurately the 3D vertically averaged self-gravity and (iii) is applicable to a bi-fluid description of PPDs with the use of two additional smoothing lengths. Such results are crucial to enable realistic 2D numerical simulations accounting for self-gravity and are important to deepen our understanding of planetesimals formation and type I migration.

description: In this study, we investigate the weak localization (WL) and weak antilocalization (WAL) effects in twisted bilayer graphene positioned on a hexagonal boron nitride substrate. The bottom graphene layer aligns with the hexagonal boron nitride. The top layer of the system features a Dirac cone with a negligible gap, while the bottom layer possesses a relatively large band gap. With a low concentration of impurities, the quantum correction to conductivity stems from the quantum interference between two time-reversed impurity scattering trajectories. We discover that inter-layer scattering significantly contributes to the conductivity correction when the Fermi surface areas of the two valleys at low energy are comparable. A double crossover from WL to WAL andback to WL occurs at a specific range of Fermi energy, which is particularly intriguing.

Partial self-consistency and analyticity in many-body perturbation theory: particle number conservation and a generalized sum rule

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We consider a general class of approximations which guarantees the conservation of particle number in many-body perturbation theory. To do this we extend the concept of $Φ$-derivability for the self-energy $Σ$ to a larger class of diagrammatic terms in which only some of the Green's function lines contain the fully dressed Green's function $G$. We call the corresponding approximations for $Σ$ partially $Φ$-derivable. A special subclass of such approximations, which are gauge-invariant, is obtained by dressing loops in the diagrammatic expansion of $Φ$ consistently with $G$. These approximations are number conserving but do not have to fulfill other conservation laws, such as the conservation of energy and momentum. From our formalism we can easily deduce if commonly used approximations will fulfill the continuity equation, which implies particle number conservation. We further show how the concept of partial $Φ$-derivability plays an important role in the derivation of a generalized sum rule for the particle number, which reduces to the Luttinger-Ward theorem in the case of a homogeneous electron gas, and the Friedel sum rule in the case of the Anderson model. To do this we need to ensure that the Green's function has certain complex analytic properties, which can be guaranteed if the spectral function is positive semi-definite.The latter property can be ensured for a subset of partially $Φ$-derivable approximations for the self-energy, namely those that can be constructed from squares of so-called half-diagrams. In case the analytic requirements are not fulfilled we highlight a number of subtle issues related to branch cuts, pole structure and multi-valuedness. We also show that various schemes of computing the particle number are consistent for particle number conserving approximations.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to provide guidance on the evaluation of data linkage quality through the development of a checklist for reporting key elements of the linkage process. Methods: Responding to a call for manuscripts from the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE), a working group including international representation from the academic, industry, and contract research, and regulatory sectors was formed to develop a checklist for evaluation of data linkage performance and reporting data linkage specifically for pharmacoepidemiologic research. This checklist expands on the reporting of studies conducted using observational routinely collected health data specific to pharmacoepidemiology (RECORD-PE) guidelines. Results: A key aspect of data linkage evaluation for pharmacoepidemiology is to articulate how a linkage process was performed and its accuracy in terms of validation and verification of the resulting linked data. This study generates a checklist, which covers domains including data sources, linkage variables, linkage methods, linkage results, and linkage evaluation. For each domain, specific recommendations provide a clear and transparent assessment of the linkage process. Conclusions: Linking data sources can help to enrich analytic databases to more accurately define study populations, enable adjustment for confounding, and improve the capture of health outcomes. Clear and transparent reporting of data linkage processes will help to increase confidence in the evidence generated from these data by allowing researchers and end users to critically assess the potential for bias owing to the data linkage process.

description: We study the Markovian and Non-Markovian dynamics in a giant atom system which couples to a coupled resonator waveguide (CRW) via two distant sites. Under certain conditions, we find that the giant atom population can exhibit an oscillating behavior and the photon can be trapped in the giant atom regime. These phenomena are induced by the interference effect among the bound states both in and outside the continuum. As an application of the photon trapping, we theoretically propose a magic cavity model where the giant atom serve as either a perfect or leaky cavity, depending on the distance between the coupling sites. The controllability of the magic cavity from perfect to leaky one can not be realized in the traditional cavity or circuit QED setup. The predicted effects can be probed in state-of-the-art waveguide QED experiments and provide a striking example of how the different kinds of bound states modify the dynamics of quantum open system in a structured environment.

The intermediate neutron-capture process and carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars

description: Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars in the Galactic Halo display enrichments in heavy elements associated with either the s (slow) or the r (rapid) neutron-capture process (e.g., barium and europium respectively), and in some cases they display evidence of both. The abundance patterns of these CEMP-s/r stars, which show both Ba and Eu enrichment, are particularly puzzling since the s and the r processes require neutron densities that are more than ten orders of magnitude apart, and hence are thought to occur in very different stellar sites with very different physical conditions. We investigate whether the abundance patterns of CEMP-s/r stars can arise from the nucleosynthesis of the intermediate neutron-capture process (the i process), which is characterised by neutron densities between those of the s and the r processes. Using nuclear network calculations, we study neutron capture nucleosynthesis at different constant neutron densities n ranging from $10^7$ to $10^{15}$ cm$^{-3}$. With respect to the classical s process resulting from neutron densities on the lowest side of this range, neutron densities on the highest side result in abundance patterns that show an increased production of heavy s-process and r-process elements but similar abundances of the light s-process elements. Such high values of n may occur in the thermal pulses of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars due to proton ingestion episodes. Comparison to the surface abundances of 20 CEMP-s/r stars show that our modelled i-process abundances successfully reproduce observed abundance patterns that could not be previously explained by s-process nucleosynthesis. Because the i-process models fit the abundances of CEMP-s/r stars so well, we propose that this class should be renamed as CEMP-i.

description: Topological excitonic insulators combine topological edge states and spontaneous exciton condensation, with dual functionality of topological insulators and excitonic insulators. Yet, they are very rare and little is known about their formation. In this work, we find that a mechanism dubbed as parity frustration prevents excitonic instability in usual topological insulators, and those whose band inversion is independent of spin-orbit coupling are possible candidates. We verify this by first-principles calculations on monolayer transition-metal carbides (MXenes), which show a robust thermal-equilibrium exciton condensation, being sufficient for topological applications at room temperature. Such a state can be identified by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and transport measurement. Our work provides not only a guide for finding more topological excitonic insulators, but also a new platform for studying the interplay between non-trivial band topology and quantum many-body effects.

description: SrTiO3 belongs to the class of incipient ferroelectrics in which an electrically ordered state is suppressed by quantum fluctuations. To investigate the nature of these excitations, we have measured the linear and nonlinear susceptibilities of SrTiO3 as a function of temperature T and field E. The application of large fields E counteracts the fluctuations and forces the system into an ordered state. The (E,T) diagram is presented. The field dependence of the dielectric constant can be well described within an Ising model including quantum tunneling. Minima in the third harmonic susceptibility, which is a measure of ferroelectric correlations, are taken as evidence for the onset of coherent tunneling phenomena near T=33 K.
Assessment of Media Use Pattern in HIV/AIDS Prevention Among Youths in Bahirdar Town

description: Introduction: Every six seconds, someone around the world is infected with HIV. Young people account for half of all new HIV infections worldwide; more than 6000 contract the virus every day. Provision of accurate and timely HIV/AIDS information to modify behavior by using modern media and interpersonal communication remains a top mitigative public health priority. Objective: The main aim of this study is to assess the media use pattern, media preference and media exposure influence on KAP in HIV/AIDS prevention among youths in Bahirdar Methods: Cross-sectional community based quantitative and qualitative study designs were used. Adequately tailored balances of closed and open-ended questionnaires were used to interview a sample size of 730 youths (15-24 years) of Bahirdar town in January2006. FGD for purposively selected members of Anti AIDS clubs, youth associations, religious people, and local artists were conducted. Results and discussions: Among 14 potential media sources radio has been found out the single most important information source medium reported by respondents. When the percentage of listeners per the daily-broadcast period was seen, the evening hours have the highest numbers of listeners of radio (50.4%) among the respondents followed by the mid day or noon hours (17.8%). Six hundred twenty nine (86.2%) were known to have some kind of access to radio sets while only 388(53.2%) of them had television sets. Youths exposed to radio messages were more than three or more times more likely to be knowledgeable on HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention methods than those not exposed to radio before adjusting and after adjusting for other socio-demographic factors . Conclusion and recommendations: From this study findings, it can be noted that even though different media (radio, television, prints, interpersonal) and common sources for HIV/AIDS messages were available, most youths may not use them frequently, and on usual broadcast times. These study findings would give a baseline data for IEC/BCC programme planners and implementers, specifically among 15 to 24 year youths in the study area. Therefore it is suggested that media message dissemination would be designed based on the media preferences of youths' inline with favorite media programmes. vii Key words: media use pattern, media preference, media exposure, youth, HIV/AIDS

description: Scalar fields, $ϕ_i$ can be coupled non-minimally to curvature and satisfy the general criteria: (i) the theory has no mass input parameters, including the Planck mass; (ii) the $ϕ_i$ have arbitrary values and gradients, but undergo a general expansion and relaxation to constant values that satisfy a nontrivial constraint, $K(ϕ_i) =$ constant; (iii) this constraint breaks scale symmetry spontaneously, and the Planck mass is dynamically generated; (iv) there can be adequate inflation associated with slow roll in a scale invariant potential subject to the constraint; (v) the final vacuum can have a small to vanishing cosmological constant (vi) large hierarchies in vacuum expectation values can naturally form; (vii) there is a harmless dilaton which naturally eludes the usual constraints on massless scalars. These models are governed by a global Weyl scale symmetry and its conserved current, $K_μ$ . At the quantum level the Weyl scale symmetry can be maintained by an invariant specification of renormalized quantities.

description: We study a singlet scalar extension of the Standard Model. The singlet scalar is coupled non-minimally to gravity and assumed to drive inflation, and also couple sufficiently strongly with the SM Higgs field in order to provide for a strong first order electroweak phase transition. Requiring the model to describe inflation successfully, be compatible with the LHC data, and yield a strong first order electroweak phase transition, we identify the regions of the parameter space where the model is viable. We also include a singlet fermion with scalar coupling to the singlet scalar to probe the sensitivity of the constraints on additional degrees of freedom and their couplings in the singlet sector. We also comment on the general feasibility of these fields to act as dark matter.

description: The translational deuteron motions in the paraelectric phases of K3D(SO4)2 and Rb3D(SO4)2 were studied using two-dimensional exchange nuclear magnetic resonance, performed in the frequency as well as in the time domains. These experiments reveal that in Rb3D(SO4)2 the ion hopping is about one order of magnitude slower than in K3D(SO4)2. Additional measurements of the spinlattice relaxation times were carried out at the proton, deuteron, and rubidium sites. It was found that the relaxation times determined for deuterated as well as for protonated tri-rubidium-hydrogen-disulfates are a factor of ten longer than those for the corresponding tri-potassium-hydrogen-disulfates. The results reveal that the deuteron hopping is to be regarded as a two-step process involving a coupling to rotational or librational motions of the sulfate tetrahedra.

description: Background: The pharmacy reference database, Micromedex, lists concomitant hydrochlorothiazide and cyclophosphamide use as a potential, major drug-drug interaction (DDI), although only one small, single-center study supports this claim. Our objective was to estimate associations between this potential DDI and two adverse chemotherapy-related events, neutropenia-related hospitalizations and treatment regimen discontinuation, among a cohort of women with breast cancer initiating adjuvant chemotherapy containing cyclophosphamide. Methods: Using linked Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER)-Medicare data, we included women 66 years and older with breast cancer diagnosis between 2007 and 2011, who initiated a regimen containing cyclophosphamide. Risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals for adverse outcomes comparing women exposed versus unexposed to the potential DDI were assessed using modified multivariable Poisson regression adjusting for potential confounders. Results: In total, 27% of women receiving cyclophosphamide treatment were exposed to concomitant hydrochlorothiazide, of which 11% experienced a neutropenia-related hospitalization and 21% discontinued their chemotherapy regimen prior to completion. Adjusted risks of both adverse events were similar between those exposed and unexposed to the potential DDI [neutropenia-related hospitalization: adjusted RR (aRR) = 0.92 (0.70-1.21); treatment discontinuation: aRR = 1.00 (0.96-1.05)]. Conclusions: Our results do not support an association between concomitant hydrochlorothiazide use and two clinically relevant adverse chemotherapy-related events. Impact: Our results support reassessing and potentially lowering severity of this potential interaction in drug reference databases.

description: We experimentally investigate non-linear Hall effect as zero-frequency and second-harmonic transverse voltage responses to ac electric current for topological semimetal GeTe. A thick single-crystal GeTe flake is placed on the Si/SiO$_2$ substrate, where the p-doped Si layer serves as a gate electrode. We confirm, that electron concentration is not gate-sensitive in thick GeTe flakes due to the gate field screening by bulk carriers. In contrast, by transverse voltage measurements, we demonstrate that the non-linear Hall effect shows pronounced dependence on the gate electric field at room temperature. Since the non-linear Hall effect is a direct consequence of a Berry curvature dipole in topological media, our observations indicate that Berry curvature can be controlled by the gate electric field. This experimental observation can be understood as a result of the known dependence of giant Rashba splitting on the external electric field in GeTe. For possible applications, the zero-frequency gate-controlled non-linear Hall effect can be used for the efficient broad-band rectification.

description: Dephasing in quantum systems is typically the result of its interaction with environmental degrees of freedom. We investigate within a spin-boson model the influence of a super-Ohmic environment on the dynamics of a quantum two-state system. A super-Ohmic enviroment, thereby, models typical bulk phonons which are a common disturbance for solid state quantum systems as, for example, NV centers. By applying the numerically exact quasi-adiabatic path integral approach we show that for strong system-bath coupling, pseudo-coherent dynamics emerges, i.e., oscillatory dynamics at short times due to slaving of the quantum system to the bath dynamics. We extend the phase diagram known for sub-Ohmic and Ohmic environments into the super-Ohmic regime and observe a pronounced non-monotonous behaviour. Super-Ohmic purely dephasing fluctuations strongly suppress the amplitude of coherent dynamics at very short times with no subsequent further decay at later times. Nevertheless, they render the dynamics overdamped. The according phase separation line shows also a non-monotonous behaviour, very similar to the pseudo-coherent dynamics.

Τούτο ισχύει, τόσο στις περιπτώσεις που τα εν λόγω αδικήματα στρέφονται τόσο κατά της δημόσιας περιουσίας όσο και για τις περιπτώσεις που στρέφονται κατά της ιδιωτικής περιουσίας. Οι αλλαγές αυτές ανατρέπουν ή καθιστούν εν μέρει περιττές, πολλές πάγιες διακρίσεις και παραδοχές που κυριαρχούσαν μέχρι και σήμερα στην επιστήμη και τη νομολογία
description: The focus of this dissertation is the crime of dishonest assistance of the new article 390 of the Penal Code as modified by the Law 4619/2019 as well as the way of its criminal prosecution. The above crime is part of the 23rd chapter of the Penal Code entitled crimes against property rights which have undergone significant changes in the new Penal Code. This is true cases that the above crimes are committed both against public and private property. These changes invert or make many discriminations and admissions that were dominant until today in science and legislation partly redundant

description: We report a new ultra-faint stellar system found in Dark Energy Camera data from the first observing run of the Magellanic Satellites Survey (MagLiteS). MagLiteS J0644-5953 (Pictor II or Pic II) is a low surface brightness (μ = 28.5 mag arcsec$^{-2}$ within its half-light radius) resolved overdensity of old and metal-poor stars located at a heliocentric distance of 45 kpc. The physical size (r$_{1/2}$ = 46 pc) and low luminosity (Mv = -3.2 mag) of this satellite are consistent with the locus of spectroscopically confirmed ultra-faint galaxies. MagLiteS J0644-5953 (Pic II) is located 11.3 kpc from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and comparisons with simulation results in the literature suggest that this satellite was likely accreted with the LMC. The close proximity of MagLiteS J0644-5953 (Pic II) to the LMC also makes it the most likely ultra-faint galaxy candidate to still be gravitationally bound to the LMC.

description: We study the complex structure moduli dependence of the scalar Laplacian eigenmodes for one-parameter families of Calabi-Yau $n$-folds in P^{n+1}. It was previously observed that some eigenmodes get lighter while others get heavier as a function of these moduli, which leads to eigenvalue crossing. We identify the cause for this behavior for the torus. We then show that at points in a sublocus of complex structure moduli space where Laplacian eigenmodes cross, the torus has complex multiplication. We speculate that the generalization to arbitrary Calabi-Yau manifolds could be that level crossing is related to rank one attractor points. To test this, we compute the eigenmodes numerically for the quartic K3 and the quintic threefold, and match crossings to CM and attractor points in these varieties. To quantify the error of our numerical methods, we also study the dependence of the numerical spectrum on the quality of the Calabi-Yau metric approximation, the number of points sampled from the Calabi-Yau variety, the truncation of the eigenbasis, and the the distance from degeneration points in complex structure moduli space.

description: The vast bulk of visible mass emerges from nonperturbative dynamics within quantum chromodynamics (QCD) -- the strong interaction sector of the Standard Model. The past decade has revealed the three pillars that support this emergent hadron mass (EHM); namely, a nonzero gluon mass-scale, a process-independent effective charge, and dressed-quarks with constituent-like masses. Theory is now working to expose their manifold and diverse expressions in hadron observables and highlighting the types of measurements that can be made in order to validate the paradigm. In sketching some of these developments, this discussion stresses the role of EHM in forming nucleon electroweak structure and the wave functions of excited baryons through the generation of dynamical diquark correlations; producing and constraining the dilation of the leading-twist pion distribution amplitude; shaping pion and nucleon parton distribution functions -- valence, glue and sea, including the antisymmetry of antimatter; and moulding pion and proton charge and mass distributions.

description: Background: Pharmacist-led medication reconciliation (PMR) ensures adequate recording and use of medications by patients. PMR may be important for cancer patients initiating new therapies, as they have a high burden of medication use and are more susceptible to inadvertent medication discrepancies. To describe medication changes (additions, discontinuations, and modifications) made to the electronic health record during a PMR among cancer patients initiating chemotherapy. Methods: From October 2011 to March 2012, 397 cancer patients initiating chemotherapy underwent a PMR at the University of North Carolina Cancer Hospital. Self-reported medications and those in the patients’ electronic health record were reviewed. Log-binomial regression models were used to estimate adjusted prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the associations between patient characteristics and medication changes made to the electronic health record. Results: Mean age at time of the PMR was 58. Median number of medications taken prior to the PMR was 10 and median time to PMR completion was 11 min. Vitamins and herbal supplements accounted for the largest proportion of medication additions (38%) and modifications (20%). Antimicrobials accounted for the largest share of discontinuations (15%). After adjustment for all other covariates, patients aged 60–69 years were more likely to have additions than those aged 50 and under (aPR = 1.47, 95%CI: 1.10–1.97). Patients 70 years and over were more likely to have modifications (aPR = 1.74, 95%CI: 1.07–2.82). Conclusion: Our results show that most cancer patients had a medication change in the electronic health record. A brief oncology PMR can accurately capture and improve medication safety by preventing prescribing and administration errors.
Spin Ice Thin Film: Surface Ordering, Partial Magnetic Wetting and Emergent Square Ice

description: Motivated by recent realizations of Dy$_{2}$Ti$_{2}$O$_{7}$ and Ho$_{2}$Ti$_{2}$O$_{7}$ spin ice thin films, and more generally by the physics of confined gauge fields, we study a model of spin ice thin film with surfaces perpendicular to the $[001]$ cubic axis. The resulting open boundaries make half of the bonds on the interfaces inequivalent. By tuning the strength of these inequivalent "orphan" bonds, dipolar interactions induce a surface ordering equivalent to a two-dimensional crystallization of magnetic surface charges. This surface ordering can also be expected on the surfaces of bulk crystals. In analogy with partial wetting in soft matter, spins just below the surface are more correlated than in the bulk, but \emph{not} ordered. For ultrathin films made of one cubic unit cell, once the surfaces are ordered, a square ice phase is stabilized over a finite temperature window, as confirmed by its entropy and the presence of pinch points in the structure factor. Ultimately, the square ice degeneracy is lifted at lower temperature and the system orders in analogy with the well-known $F$-transition of the $6$-vertex model.

Prevalence of Sharp Injury and Associated Factors among Health care waste handlers in private Hospitals, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, 2019.
Creators: name: Getahun, Alemayehu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Background: - A sharps injury is a penetrating stab wound from a needle, scalpel, or other sharp object that may result in exposure to blood or other body fluids. Wastes containing sharp materials may affect not only health workers who produce them, but also waste collectors and laundry personnel who handle and collect them. In addition, if not managed properly, it carries a substantial risk to the hospital staff, the patients, the community, public health and environment. Objective: - To assess the prevalence of sharp injury and associated factors among health care waste handlers in private hospitals found in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 2019. Methodology: - An institutional based cross sectional study was conducted from January 01, 2019 to February 30, 2019 among private hospital found in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A total of 437 health care waste handlers working in 25 private hospitals found in Addis Ababa were involved in this study. Data were collected using structured questionnaire adapted from previous similar literatures. The results were described by frequency, percentage, odds ratio, range and mean and presented using tables and graphs. The multi variable logistics regressions analysis were performed to see the association and control the potential confounders. Results: -The prevalence of sharp injury experienced among private hospital health care waste handler was 55 (12.8%) in the past 12 months. Age, educational status, working department, total service year, and training on health care waste management were significantly associated with sharp injury. Health care waste handlers working in emergency room had increased the odds of getting sharp injury by 8.7 times compared to inpatient ward (AOR= 8.7; 95% CI= 1.3-60) and health care waste handlers who clean operation room were 8 times (AOR=7.7, CI=1.07-56.3) more affected than inpatient ward. Meanwhile, taking training about health care waste management and infection prevention decreases the odd of getting sharp injury by 3 times than those who do not take training (AOR=2.8, CI= 1.14-6.8). The odds of sharp injury among participant doing overtime were 3 times (AOR= 3.3; 95% CI= 1.117-10) higher than that does not. Conclusion: - The prevalence of sharp injury among private hospital health care waste handler was high. Age, educational status, working department, total service year, training, and doing overtime were significantly associated with sharp injury. Remedial actions need to be considered at individual and institutional level.

description: We show that Schwarzschild black hole solutions in asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (AdS) and de Sitter (dS) spaces may, up to a conformal factor, be reproduced in the framework of analogue gravity. The aforementioned derivation is performed using relativistic and non-relativistic Bose-Einstein condensates. In addition, we demonstrate that the (2+1) planar AdS black hole can be mapped into the non-relativistic acoustic metric. Given that AdS black holes are extensively employed in the gauge/gravity duality, we then comment on the possibility to study the AdS/CFT correspondence and gravity/fluid duality from an analogue gravity perspective.
