description: In this paper, we extend the method implementing Virasoro operators in a tensor network we proposed in arXiv:2205.04500 and test it on the Fibonacci model, which is known to suffer from far more finite size effects. To pick up the "seed" state that would flow to the stress tensor in the thermodynamic limit, we make use of the topological idempotent that projects the transfer matrix to the trivial sector. Combined with an optimization method, the seed state can be identified. We demonstrate that the descendant states in the Fibonacci model can be correctly generated with this approximate stress tensor, giving further evidence that the method applies more generally.

description: We revisit the multilepton ($ml$) + ${E\!\!\!\!/_T}$ + $X$ signatures of the Inert Doublet Model (IDM) of dark matter in future LHC experiments for $m =$ 3, 4 and simulate, for the first time, the $m = 5$ case. Here $X$ stands for any number of jets. We illustrate these signals with benchmark points consistent with the usual constraints like unitarity, perturbativity, the precision electroweak data, the observed dark matter relic density of the Universe and, most importantly, the stringent LHC constraints from the post Higgs ($h$) discovery era like the measured $M_h$ and the upper bound on the invisible width of $h$ decay which were not included in earlier analyses of multilepton signatures. We find that if the IDM model is embedded in a grand dessert scenario so that the unitarity constraint holds up to a very high scale, the whole of the highly restricted parameter space allowed by the above constraints can be probed at the LHC via the $3l$ signal for an integrated luminosity $\sim 3000 ~{\rm fb}^{-1}$. On the other hand, if any new physics shows up at a scale $\sim$ 10~TeV, only a part of the enlarged allowed parameter space can be probed. The $4l$ and $5l$ signals can help to discriminate among different IDM scenarios as and when sufficient integrated luminosity accumulates.

description: We construct a basis of conformal primary wavefunctions (CPWs) for $p$-form fields in any dimension, calculating their scalar products and exhibiting the change of basis between conventional plane wave and CPW mode expansions. We also perform the analysis of the associated shadow transforms. For each family of $p$-form CPWs, we observe the existence of pure gauge wavefunctions of conformal dimension $Δ=p$, while shadow $p$-forms of this weight are only pure gauge in the critical spacetime dimension value $D=2p+2$. We then provide a systematic technique to obtain the large-$r$ asymptotic limit near $\mathscr I$ based on the method of regions, which naturally takes into account the presence of both ordinary and contact terms on the celestial sphere. In $D=4$, this allows us to reformulate in a conformal primary language the links between scalars and dual two-forms.

description: We present an analysis of multi-epoch spectroscopic and photometric observations of the WZ Sge-type dwarf nova BW Scl, a period-bouncer candidate. We detected multiple irradiation-induced emission lines from the donor star allowing the radial velocity variations to be measured with high accuracy. Also, using the absorption lines Mgii 4481 and Caii K originated in the photosphere of the accreting white dwarf (WD), we measured the radial velocity semi-amplitude of the WD and its gravitational redshift. We find that the WD has a mass of 0.85$\pm$0.04 M$_\odot$, while the donor is a low-mass object with a mass of 0.051$\pm$0.006 M$_\odot$, well below the hydrogen-burning limit. Using NIR data, we put an upper limit on the effective temperature of the donor to be $\lesssim$1600 K, corresponding to a brown dwarf of T spectral type. The optically thin accretion disc in BW Scl has a very low luminosity $\lesssim$4 $\times 10^{30}$ erg s$^{-1}$ which corresponds to a very low mass accretion rate of $\lesssim$7 $\times 10^{-13}$ M$_\odot$ year$^{-1}$. The outer parts of the disc have a low density allowing the stream to flow down to the inner disc regions. The brightest part of the hotspot is located close to the circularization radius of the disc. The hotspot is optically thick and has a complex, elongated structure. Based on the measured system parameters, we discuss the evolutionary status of the system.

description: We clarify topology of $^3P_2$ superfluids which are expected to be realized in the inner cores of neutron stars and cubic odd-parity superconductors. $^3P_2$ phases include uniaxial/biaxial nematic phases and nonunitary ferromagnetic and cyclic phases. We here show that all the phases are accompanied by different types of topologically protected gapless fermions: Surface Majorana fermions in nematic phases and a quartet of (single) itinerant Majorana fermions in the cyclic (ferromagnetic) phase. Using the superfluid Fermi liquid theory, we also demonstrate that dihedral-two and -four biaxial nematic phases are thermodynamically favored in the weak coupling limit under a magnetic field. It is shown that the tricritical point exists on the phase boundary between these two phases and may be realized in the core of realistic magnetars. We unveil the intertwining of symmetry and topology behind mass acquisition of surface Majorana fermions in nematic phases.

description: Background: Measles is a highly contagious viral disease caused by Paramyxovirus, of the genus Morbillivirus. A measles outbreak was detected in Jimma Town, Oromia Region on the 16th of August 2014. An outbreak investigation was carried out. Objective: To assess the occurrence of the outbreak and identify factors associated with contracting measles in Jimma Town, Oromia Region, Ethiopia 2014. Methods: We conducted unmatched case control study. We recruited a total of 34 cases and 102 controls. Data was collected from 14-29 October 2014, using structured questionnaire to solicit information from cases and controls. Verbal consent from all participants and confidentiality were in place. Permission to carry out the study was obtained from Ethiopian Public Health Institute and Oromia Regional Health Bureau. Epi Info was used to calculate frequencies, odds ratios and 95% confidence interval finally SPSS software used to perform logistic regression to identify risk factors for measles. Result: We recruited a total of 34 cases and 102 controls. The mean age for cases was 12.8+14.6 SD and for controls 8.4+9.1 SD. Cases whose mothers educated to the level of primary were 3.4 times more likely to develop measles compared to their counter parts (AOR=3.4; 95%CI: 1.03-15.94) and Children's who had contact with measles cases were 3.2 times at risk of contracting measles compared to who had no contact (AOR=3.2; 95%CI: 1.14-8.93). Also cases that had travel history to outbreak site were 6.3 times more likely to develop measles compared to that had no travel history (AOR= 6.3; 95%CI: 2.52-15.94). Conclusion: Factors independently associated with the occurrence of measles outbreak were mother's education to the level of primary, travel history and contact with cases and, we recommend routine vaccination for all children before enrolling into schools and strengthening supplemental measles vaccination and Public advocacy on immunization campaigns Keywords: Measles; Outbreak; Risk factors; Ethiopia

description: Η παρούσα μελέτη στοχεύει να ανιχνεύσει τη φύση του ελληνικού εκσυγχρονισμού κατά το πέρασμα στον 20ό αιώνα. Για να το πετύχει αυτό εστιάζει στην παρουσία της χώρας στις διεθνείς εκθέσεις του εξωτερικού, χρησιμοποιώντας την ως ένα πρωτότυπο case study. Ταυτό-χρονα, τα ευρήματα συσχετίζονται αναλυτικά με τον πολιτικό και τον συνολικό δημόσιο λόγο για το ελληνικό εκσυγχρονιστικό όραμα στην αυγή του 20ού αιώνα. Δεδομένου ότι οι διεθνείς εκθέσεις αποτελούσαν χώρο προβολής της προόδου των κρατών, θα ανέμενε κανείς η Ελλάδα να προσέρχεται σε αυτές ακολουθώντας τακτική παρόμοια των υπόλοιπων συμμετεχόντων. Ωστόσο, η Ελλάδα αντιλαμβανόταν τον εκσυγχρονισμό της με τρόπο διαφορετικό από τα υπό-λοιπα κράτη, καθώς τον συνέδεε περισσότερο με τις εθνικές της επιδιώξεις. Έτσι, η συμμετοχή της στις εκθέσεις δεν θα μπορούσε παρά να είναι επηρεασμένη από τη διαφορετική νοηματική φόρτιση της έννοιας του εκσυγχρονισμού. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δίνεται στις ελληνικές συμμετοχές των διεθνών εκθέσεων του Σικάγο (1893), των Παρισίων (1900), των Βρυξελλών (1910) και του Σαν Φρανσίσκο (1915)
description: This study aims to detect the nature of Greek modernization at the turn of 20th century. To achieve this, it focuses on the country's presence at the world’s fairs, using it as an original case study. At the same time, the findings are related in detail to the political and public discourse on the Greek vision of modernization at the dawn of the 20th century. Given that international exhibitions were a place to demonstrate states’ progress, one would expect Greece to partake following an approach similar to that of the other participating countries. However, Greece perceived its modernization differently than other states, as it associated it more with its na-tional aspirations. Thus, its participation in the world’s fairs could only be influenced by the different semantic charge of the concept of modernization. Special emphasis is given to the Greek participations in the international exhibitions of Chicago (1893), Paris (1900), Brussels (1910) and San Francisco (1915)

description: Rheology of macroscopic particle-laden interfaces, called "Granular Rafts" has been experimentally studied, in the simple shear configuration. The shear-stress relation obtained from a classical rheometer exhibits the same behavior as a Bingham fluid and the viscosity diverges with the surface fraction according to evolutions similar to 2D suspensions. The velocity field of the particles that constitute the granular raft has been measured in the stationary state. These measurements reveal non-local rheology similar to dry granular materials. Close to the walls of the rheometer cell, one can observe regions of large local shear rate while in the middle of the cell a quasistatic zone exists. This flowing region, characteristic of granular matter, is described in the framework of an extended kinetic theory showing the evolution of the velocity profile with the imposed shear stress. Measuring the probability density functions of the elementary strains, we provide evidence of a balance between positive and negative elementary strains. This behavior is the signature of a quasistatic region inside the granular raft.

Αρχικά, γίνεται μια γεγονοτολογική αφήγηση των όσων προηγήθηκαν του Αυγούστου του 1922, αρχής γενομένης από την αποβίβαση των πρώτων ελληνικών δυνάμεων στη Σμύρνη, το 1919. Έπειτα, αναλύεται η πορεία του υποχωρούντος ελληνικού στρατού προς δυσμάς, μετά τη διάσπαση του μετώπου. Στη συνέχεια, στο κεφάλαιο των πολιτικών επιλογών τίθενται τα ερωτήματα σχετικά με τη συνέχιση της εκστρατείας από τις μετανοεμβριανές κυβερνήσεις αλλά και τη σχέση που διατήρησαν οι ελληνικές διοικητικές αρχές με τους Μικρασιάτες. Ακολούθως, στο σκέλος των στρατιωτικών επιπτώσεων, η παρούσα μελέτη διερευνά τους λόγους για τους οποίους δεν υπήρχε η πρόβλεψη για τη δημιουργία μιας δεύτερης γραμμής άμυνας, ακόμη και μετά τη διάσπαση του μετώπου, τις αιτίες για τους οποίες εγκαταλείφθηκε η Ανατολική Θράκη μετά την εκκένωση της Μικράς Ασίας από τον ελληνικό στρατό και τέλος, το κρίσιμο ερώτημα εάν ήταν ένοχοι ή όχι όσοι καταδικάστηκαν στη Δίκη των Έξι
description: The aim of this paper is to study the Turkish counter-attack in August 1922 on the Asia Minor front in the light of the political and military events that preceded and followed it. Initially, there will be a narrative of what preceded August 1922, starting with the landing of the first Greek forces in Smyrna in 1919. Then, the course of the retreating Greek army westwards after the collapse of the front is analyzed. Then, in the section of political choices, questions are raised about the continuation of the campaign by the antivenizelist governments, as well as the relationship that the Greek administrative authorities had with the Asia Minor Greeks. In conclusion, in the military implications section, this study discusses the reasons why there was no provision for the creation of a second line of defence even after the front was broken up, the reasons why Eastern Thrace was evacuated after the evacuation of Asia Minor by the Greek army, and finally, raises the question of whether or not those convicted at the Trial of the Six were guilty or not
1/3 BPS loops and defect CFTs in ABJM theory

description: We address a longstanding question of whether ABJM theory has Wilson loop operators preserving eight supercharges (so 1/3 BPS). We present such Wilson loops made of a large supermatrix combining two 1/2 BPS Wilson loops. We study the spectrum of operator insertions into them including the displacement operator and several others and study their correlation functions. Another natural construction arising in this context are Wilson loops with alternating superconnections. This amounts to including "defect changing operators" along the loop, similar to a discrete cusp. This insertion is topological and preserves two supercharges. We study the multiplet of this operator and how it can be used to introduce further operators. We also construct the defect conformal manifold arising from marginal defect operators.

description: The aspiration of the present thesis is to examine the way Octavian and Rome are presented in Vergil’s Georgics. By bringing the focus into the text’s references to historical events and political figures, as well as by utilizing allegorical passages with interpretive extensions within the poem’s contemporary historical reality, this thesis attempts to show the poet’s concerns about the repercussions of civil war on the agricultural and sociopolitical life of Italy. The disorganization of the countryside, the urban degeneration and the politicians’ penchant for power, along with the state’s internal disarray, are concerns which are featured by the interpretive reading of the poem, which in turn suggests, initially with some reservations and, afterwards, with growing optimism, Octavian as a savior and guarantor of peace and Rome’s continuous supremacy

Unstoppable brane-flux decay of $\overline{\text{D6}}$ branes

description: We investigate $p$ $\overline{\text{D6}}$ branes inside a flux throat that carries $K \times M$ D6 charges with $K$ the 3-form flux quantum and $M$ the Romans mass. We find that within the calculable supergravity regime where $g_s p$ is large, the $\overline{\text{D6}}$ branes annihilate immediately against the fluxes despite the existence of a metastable state at small $p/M$ in the probe approximation. The crucial property that causes this naive conflict with effective field theory is a singularity in the 3-form flux, which we cut off at string scale. Our result explains the absence of regular solutions at finite temperature and suggests there should be a smooth time-dependent solution. We also discuss the qualitative differences between $\overline{\text{D6}}$ branes and $\overline{\text{D3}}$ branes, which makes it a priori not obvious to conclude the same instability for $\overline{\text{D3}}$ branes.

description: Abstract The risks of synthetic pesticides include pest resistance and impacts on the health of humans, non-target organisms, and ecosystems. Biopesticides are an alternative that reduces chemical pesticide use and improves health. Myzus persicae, the green peach aphid, is a sap-sucking insect pest that damages leafy vegetables, including Brassicas. This study evaluated the effectiveness of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) frass tea (BSFT) and residues incorporated into the soil as a potential biopesticide on M. persicae established on Brassica seedlings. The bioefficacy of BSF frass tea at different concentrations (15g, 30g, and 60g) and frass soil amendment (50g) was experimentally compared to that of diluted dishwashing liquid (15g/L) as a positive control and distilled water as a negative control. Mortality was observed over 48 hours. Responses were analysed using beta regression which revealed that M. persicae behaviour and mortality varied significantly between treatments. Diluted dishwashing liquid, frass soil amendment (50g), 15g, and 60g of frass tea had extract significantly higher mortality than that of distilled water and 30g of frass tea. In comparison, 30g and 60g of frass tea treatments had bio-repellent properties. BSF frass could be used within an integrated pest management strategy against aphids due to its biopesticide and bio-repellent properties.

Effects of multimedia on psychometric characteristics of cognitive tests: A comparison between technology-based and paper-based modalities

Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2023
Subjects: Education

description: The study aims to investigate the effects of delivery modalities on psychometric characteristics and student performance on cognitive tests. A first study assessed the inductive reasoning ability of 715 students under the supervision of teachers. A second study examined 731 students’ performance on the application of the control-of variables strategy in basic physics but without teacher supervision due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rasch measurement showed that the online format fitted to the data better in the unidimensional model across two conditions. Under teacher supervision, paper-based testing was better than online testing in terms of reliability and total scores, but contradictory findings were found in turn without teacher supervision. Although measurement invariance was confirmed between two versions at item level, the differential bundle functioning analysis supported the online groups on the item bundles constructed of figure-related materials. Response time was also discussed as an advantage of technology-based assessment for test development.

description: We present a rigorous efficient event-chain Monte Carlo algorithm for long-range interacting particle systems. Using a cell-veto scheme within the factorized Metropolis algorithm, we compute each single-particle move with a fixed number of operations. For slowly decaying potentials such as Coulomb interactions, screening line charges allow us to take into account periodic boundary conditions. We discuss the performance of the cell-veto Monte Carlo algorithm for general inverse-power-law potentials, and illustrate how it provides a new outlook on one of the prominent bottlenecks in large-scale atomistic Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Background: HIV is an infectious disease that affects people without any boundary and health status. While mental disorders could predispose individuals to different communicable diseases including HIV, people who already encountered HIV could sustain depression and mental disorders where adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) could be hampered. Despite this fact, there is a paucity of information in this area. Objective: the aim of the study is to asses ART adherence and its determinants among HIV positive mentally ill patients attending outpatient department at Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital and St. Paul Hospital Millennium Medical College. Method :a quantitative cross-sectional study was undertaken among 416 HIV positive mentally ill patients attending outpatient services at antiretroviral therapy units of Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital and St. Paul Hospital Millennium Medical College. The data was collected using structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS 21. Result: A total of 416 were interviewed. The principal reasons reported for skipping doses in this study were being busy, falling asleep, and running out of medication and religious beliefs. The overall self-reported ART dose adherence among the mentally ill was only 57.2%. Adherence was independently associated with being employed (OR 0.505, 95% CI 0.321-0.797), running out of drugs (OR 0.031, 95% CI 0.003-0.276), being busy (OR 0.015, 95% CI 0.003-0.064), falling asleep (OR 0.032 95% CI 0.004-0.281) and Depression wasn't significantly associated with ART adherence. Conclusion: the self-reported adherence level was low in the study area. The study showed that mentally ill patients are more influenced by personal and emotional reasons than the other factors like, medication related, patient-provider relationship, and health care delivery system.

description: Constructivism has become the overarching scientific paradigm in the social study of science and technology (STS). The notion that scientific facts and technological artefacts result from processes of social construction is the major scientific innovation of the preceding decades in the sociology of science and technology. With constructivism being the established paradigm in this field of research: what comes next? What comes after constructivism in science and technology studies? The contributions of this special issue of Science, Technology & Innovation Studies suggest different answers to these questions which can roughly be subsumed under the three headings 'Spelling out Constructivism', 'Adding Disregarded Aspects', and 'Going beyond Constructivism'.

description: La industria farmacéutica ha sido categorizada como una de las más exigentes y rigurosa en cuanto al manejo de altos estándares de calidad con respecto a los productos que elabora y distribuye en el mercado farmacéutico. Sin embargo, muy a menudo se presentan eventos que comprometen la calidad de estos, debido a los inconvenientes presentados la conferencia internacional sobre armonización (ICH) fijó el concepto de calidad desde el diseño (QbD) como un enfoque basado en una integración total, que brinda productos farmacéuticos robustos de alta calidad. QbD integra dos grandes ramas para su ejecución, la gestión del conocimiento y la gestión del riesgo, por medio de las cuales se puede tener un amplio manejo del proceso de producción y diseño del producto y aplicar herramientas del riesgo para identificar, analizar, evaluar el impacto y controlar los riesgos presentados en todo el desarrollo del mismo. Los nanosistemas se pueden definir como vehículos con partículas de tamaño muy reducidas que van desde 10 a 100nm, aunque con el continuo desarrollo de los mismos se ha llegado a establecer vehículos de tamaño hasta de 300 nm, en ellos se puede encapsular, disolver, o fijar compuestos activos para su administración, además de poseer grandes ventajas tienen un grado de complejidad en el desarrollo y diseño de los mismos, por ello se hace necesario la aplicación del enfoque de calidad desde el diseño hacia los mismos para garantizar la calidad y seguridad en estos sistemas. El presente trabajo se realizó con el objetivo de revisar y recopilar la información necesaria para la aplicación de la calidad desde el diseño en nanosistemas tanto farmacéuticos como cosmecéuticos y farmacéuticos de uso tópico. Asimismo, se indagó acerca de las herramientas más utilizadas en la aplicación de la gestión de riesgo con el fin de garantizar un producto seguro y eficaz a la comunidad.

description: We consider a one-dimensional "zigzag" lattice, pictured as a two-site wide single strip taken from a triangular lattice, affected by a tunable homogeneous magnetic flux piercing its triangular plaquettes. We focus on a semi-synthetic lattice produced by combining a one-dimensional spin-dependent lattice in the long direction with laser-induced transitions between atomic internal states that define the short synthetic dimension. In contrast to previous studies on semi-synthetic lattices, the atom-atom interactions are nonlocal in both lattice directions. We investigate the ground-state properties of the system for the case of strongly interacting bosons, and find that the interplay between the frustration induced by the magnetic field and the interactions gives rise to an exotic gapped phase at fractional filling factors corresponding to one particle per magnetic unit cell.

description: A density wave (DW) is a fundamental type of long-range order in quantum matter tied to self-organization into a crystalline structure. The interplay of DW order with superfluidity can lead to complex scenarios that pose a great challenge to theoretical analysis. In the last decades, tunable quantum Fermi gases have served as model systems for exploring the physics of strongly interacting fermions, including most notably magnetic ordering, pairing and superfluidity, and the crossover from a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Here, we realize a Fermi gas featuring both strong, tunable contact interactions and photon-mediated, spatially structured long-range interactions in a transversely driven high-finesse optical cavity. Above a critical long-range interaction strength DW order is stabilized in the system, which we identify via its superradiant light scattering properties. We quantitatively measure the variation of the onset of DW order as the contact interaction is varied across the BCS-BEC crossover, in qualitative agreement with a mean-field theory. The atomic DW susceptibility varies over an order of magnitude upon tuning the strength and the sign of the long-range interactions below the self-ordering threshold, demonstrating independent and simultaneous control over the contact and long-range interactions. Therefore, our experimental setup provides a fully tunable and microscopically controllable platform for the experimental study of the interplay of superfluidity and DW order.

description: A kagome lattice of 3d transition metals hosts flat bands, Dirac fermions and saddle points. It provides a versatile platform for achieving topological superconductivity, anomalous Hall effect, unconventional density wave order and quantum spin liquid when the strong correlation, spin-orbit coupling or magnetic order are involved in such a lattice. Here, using laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in combination with density functional theory calculations, we investigate the electronic structure of the newly discovered kagome superconductor CsTi$_3$Bi$_5$, which is isostructural to the AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A=K, Rb or Cs) kagome superconductors and possesses a perfect two-dimensional kagome network of Titanium. We directly observed a strikingly flat band derived from the local destructive interferences of Bloch wave functions within the kagome lattices. We also identify the type-II Dirac nodal loops around the Brillouin zone center, the type-III Dirac nodal loops around the zone corners and type-III Dirac nodal lines along the k$_z$ direction. In addition, around the Brillouin zone center, Z2 nontrivial topological surface states are also observed which is formed from the band inversion due to strong spin orbital coupling. The simultaneous existence of such multi-sets of nontrivial band structures in one kagome superconductor not only provides good opportunities to study related physics in the kagome lattice but also makes CsTi$_3$Bi$_5$ an ideal system to realize noval quantum phenomena by manipulating its chemical potential with chemical doping or pressure.

description: 4FGL J1015.5-6030 is an unidentified Fermi-LAT source hosting a bright, extended X-ray source whose X-ray spectrum is consistent with that of a young pulsar, yet no pulsations have been found. Here we report on XMM-Newton timing and Chandra imaging observations of the X-ray counterpart of 4FGL J1015.5-6030. We find no significant periodicity from the source and place a 3$σ$ upper-limit on its pulsed fraction of 34$\%$. The Chandra observations resolve the point source from the extended emission. We find that the point source's spectrum is well fit by a blackbody model, with temperature $kT=0.205\pm0.009$ keV, plus a weak power-law component, which is consistent with a thermally emitting neutron star with a magnetospheric component. The extended emission spans angular scales of a few arcseconds up to about 30$''$ from the point source and its spectrum is well fit by a power-law model with a photon index $Γ=1.70\pm0.05$. The extended emission's spectrum and 0.5-10 keV luminosity of 4$\times10^{32}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (at a plausible distance of 2 kpc) are consistent with that of a pulsar wind nebula. Based on a comparison to other GeV and X-ray pulsars, we find that this putative pulsar is likely a middle-aged (i.e., $τ\sim 0.1$--1 Myr) radio-quiet pulsar with $\dot{E}\sim10^{34}-10^{35}$ erg s$^{-1}$.
