A fractal-like structure for the fractional quantum Hall effect

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We have pursued in the literature a fractal-like structure for the fractional quantum Halll effect-FQHE which consider the Hausdorff dimension associated with the quantum mechanics paths and the spin of the particles or quasiparticles termed fractons. These objects carry rational or irrational values of spin and satisfy a fractal distribution function associated with a fractal von Neumann entropy. We show that our approach offers {\it a rationale} for all FQHE data including possible filling factors suggested by some authors. Our formulation is free of any empirical formula and this characteristic appears as a foundational insight for this FQHE-phenomenon. The connection between a geometrical parameter, the Hausdorff dimension $h$, associated with the quantum paths and the spin $s$ of particles, $h=2-2s$, $0 < s < {1/2}$, is a physical analogous to the fractal dimension formula, $Δ(Γ)=2-H$, of the graph of the functions in the context of the fractal geometry, where $H$ is knwon as Hölder exponent, with $ 0 < H < 1$. We emphasize that our fractal approach to the fractional spin particles gives us a new perspective for charge-flux systems defined in two-dimensional multiply connected space.

description: Analysis of the data in the literature shows that the unequivocal cause-effect relationship between NIBS - cortical area - function is not so simple and straightforward. There are several causal links underlying the observed phenomena and we must take these into account when constructing our rehabilitation models. What remains unknown depends only on instrumental limitations and our ability to interpret reality.

description: Propagation of avocado seedlings was started on a large scale at Soil Conservation, Haggatts in 1971. Propagation is done either by budding or grafting on to seedling rootstocks. Grafting and budding is normally done between December and April. Shield budding is done when the rootstock is red-brown in colour and still undergoing active growth from the seed. Once the seedlings have become green in colour and have 'hardened off' grafting is the method adopted. No grafting is done during the hot summer months: the rootstocks at rhis time have developed a white, corky and brittle pith and the percentage take is quite low. Seeds are sown directly into polythene bags: rhus reducing transplanting to a minimum. All seeds are hot water treated and the soil fumigated with methyl bromide, before being sown. Nursery seedlings are affected by root rot caused by Phytopothora cinnamomi, and by collar and fruit rot fungii. Further work is being done ori collar rot — Botoyodiplodia theobrornae — and fruit rot Phomopsis sp.

description: A leaf spotting and tip dieback disease of onions identified as Blast was first recorded in Barbados in early 1971. It re-appeared in 1972 and caused quite serious yield losses to some farmers. A preliminary study of this disease, in which parasites were eliminated as causal factors, indicated that the initial symptoms of blast in Barbados were not caused by incompatibilities between benlate and other crop protection chemicals, as was suggested by some observers, but were more likely incited by adverse weather conditions or by some other physiogenic agent.

description: Chiral indices determine important properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Unfortunately, their determination from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images, the most accurate method for assigning chirality, is a tedious task. We develop a Convolutional Neural Network that automatizes this process. A large and realistic training data set of CNT images is obtained by means of atomistic computer simulations coupled with the multi-slice approach for image generation. In most cases, results of the automated assignment are in excellent agreement with manual classification, and the origin of failures is identified. The current approach, which combines HRTEM imaging and deep learning algorithms allows the analysis of a statistically significant number of HRTEM images of carbon nanotubes, paving the way for robust estimates of experimental chiral distributions.

9/11, foreign threats, political legitimacy, and democratic social institutions

Year: 2023

description: This article reassesses the political reaction in the United States to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in terms of economics and evolutionary biology. The fact that war and its threat were ever-present in human evolution resulted in two social propensities that render society vulnerable to political manipulation. External threats dramatically heighten social cohesion as well as loyalty to leaders. In pre-state social groupings, all members could clearly witness and judge the nature of an external threat. And because leaders had to spearhead any response, they were most vulnerable to injury or death. In modern highly complex societies, by contrast, the nature of threats is less transparent, and leaders can command far from immediate danger. Consequently, in modern times, leaders can be tempted, especially in times of economic dysfunction, to generate fear of an external threat to rally support and detract attention from otherwise inadequate leadership. This paper explores these dynamics in the context of post-9/11. It concludes with reflections on the potential of democratic institutions and practices to lessen the potential for political leaders to exploit their advantages by trumping up external threats.

Inequality, social respectability, political power, and environmental devastation
Creators: name: Wisman, Jon
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Although healthy societies may require a degree of material inequality, higher levels of inequality have been linked to negative social consequences ranging from poorer health to lessened democracy. However, the greatest contemporary threat of excessive inequality might be its contribution to increased environmental degradation. Indeed, avoiding devastation of our habitat may be the greatest challenge ever faced by humanity. This article explores the manner in which inequality encourages consumption, by drawing upon Thorstein Veblen’s theory of consumer behavior, whereby in societies in which fluid social mobility is believed possible, inequality encourages households to seek social certification and social status through consumption. Rising inequality strengthens the intensity with which households struggle to maintain social respectability through increased consumption. The ideology, institutions, and behavior generated by this focus on consumption reduce the potential for people to achieve certification of value through more environmentally friendly domains such as work and community. This article also addresses the manner in which inequality impedes responses aimed at reducing environmental damage by augmenting the political power of those whose interests would be harmed by environmental measures. Indeed, the wealthy benefit threefold from pollution: Their disproportionate consumption is made less expensive,their assets yield higher profits, and they are better able to shield themselves from the negative consequences of environmental destruction.

description: The Moscow Mathematical School, led by Dmitri Egorov, made tremendous strides in the development of set theory in the period around the Russian Revolutions. The concepts of transfinite sets and absolute infinity have long had a controversial association with religion, namely in the explicit theological statements of the founder of set theory, Georg Cantor. However, several recent studies have argued that the Moscow School was instrumentally shaped by a sect called the “Name Worshippers”. Here we examine more precisely what the Name Worshippers meant by naming, and how their semantics might have, and might have not, shaped the views of the Moscow School. This paper is a review and severe corrective of the book Naming Infinity by Loren Graham and Jean-Michel Kantor, yet we also have our own analysis. Examining the Name Worshippers’ semantics as defined by themselves and their opponents argues for the greater theological influence being Cantor’s. However some aspects of their beliefs indicate that they tended to treat names as tokens, objects of incantation and instantiation. Finally, we show how this fascinating chapter in the history of theology and mathematics contributes to realistic versions of what contemporary neurologically-based semantics calls “meaning externalism” and a science of essences.

description: The paper presents the issues related to the green economy in the agricultural sector. In order to discuss it, an analysis of the subject literature was carried out and some selected statistical data describing the process of greening of agriculture were presented. The timeframe of the analysis covered the years 2010-2015. The GUS and Eurostat were the source of the used values. Studies have shown that almost all EU countries have increased the area of organic agricultural land in the surveyed period (except for Great Britain). In addition, the article presents the results of pilot studies conducted in the Lodz Region, aimed at diagnosing key barriers to the development of the green economy in rural areas. According to the research, the insufficient level of knowledge of farmers in this area is an important obstacle to building a green economy in rural areas. / Synopsis. W artykule przedstawiono problematykę związaną z zieloną gospodarką w sektorze rolnictwa. W celu jej omówienia przeprowadzono analizę literatury przedmiotu oraz przytoczono wybrane dane statystyczne opisujące zachodzący proces ekologizacji rolnictwa. Zakres czasowy analiz obejmował lata 2010-2015. Źródłem danych były GUS oraz Eurostat. Przeprowadzone analizy wykazały, iż w badanym okresie niemalże we wszystkich krajach UE wzrosła powierzchnia ekologicznych użytków rolnych (wyjątkiem była Wielka Brytania). Dodatkowo w artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań pilotażowych przeprowadzonych w województwie łódzkim, których celem było zdiagnozowanie kluczowych barier w rozwoju zielonej gospodarki na obszarach wiejskich. Z badań tych wynika, iż istotną kwestią utrudniającą budowanie zielonej gospodarki na obszarach wiejskich stanowi niedostateczny poziom wiedzy rolników w tym zakresie.

Accretion Onto Fast X-Ray Pulsars

description: The recent emergence of a new class of accretion-powered, transient, millisecond X-ray pulsars presents some difficulties for the conventional picture of accretion onto rapidly rotating magnetized neutron stars and their spin behavior during outbursts. In particular, it is unclear from the standard paradigm how these systems manage to accrete over such a wide range in dM/dt (i.e., >~ a factor of 50), and why the neutron stars exhibit a high rate of spindown in at least a number of cases. Following up on prior suggestions, we propose that `fast' X-ray pulsars can continue to accrete, and that their accretion disks terminate at approximately the corotation radius. We demonstrate the existence of such disk solutions by modifying the Shakura-Sunyaev equations with a simple magnetic torque prescription. The solutions are completely analytic, and have the same dependence on dM/dt and alpha (the viscosity parameter) as the original Shakura-Sunyaev solutions; but, the radial profiles can be considerably modified, depending on the degree of fastness. We apply these results to compute the torques expected during the outbursts of the transient millisecond pulsars, and find that we can explain the large spindown rates that are observed for quite plausible surface magnetic fields of ~10^9 G.

description: “In the Beginning was the Word” provides the biblical reference to the word ‘Word,’ and ‘Infinity’ touches upon the traditional philosophical conventions that refer to God as the ‘Infinite’ and the creations of God as the ‘finites.’ Infinity as a technical artefact, engages the mind with its abstractness and metaphorical rendition as in Basic Metaphor of Infinity (BMI), but also with its concreteness as in programming, modelling and topography. ‘Infinity’ as a concept and as a numerical entity refers a quantified element to the qualitative divine – with the intention of comprehending concepts that are generally beyond the cognitive imaginative sphere of the human mind. The formality associated with mathematical proofs authenticates ideas that may seem or are abstract to pinpoint, including the notion that ‘nature speaks mathematics’ and nature as created by the creator embodies the paradigm of ‘Infinity’ as divine. Can ‘infinity’ then be conceptualised as a technical artefact by approaching it secularly with mathematics as the language to comprehend the theological cloud that engulfs it? The answer, perhaps will neither be a simple affirmation or an outright negation.

It was found that in the ranking of competitiveness of the World Economic Forum analysed countries were above the thirtieth position. In the last decade there has been a deterioration of the competitive position in most of the analysed countries, while Poland has improved its position by 19 positions. Poland is currently in 36th position. The main weakness of the Polish economy is its insufficient innovativeness, insufficient labour market efficiency and imperfection of institutions supporting the economy. / Synopsis.

description: In this paper, we focus on generating complex robotic trajectories by merging sequential motion primitives. A robotic trajectory is a time series of positions and orientations ending at a desired target. Hence, we first discuss the generation of converging pose trajectories via dynamical systems, providing a rigorous stability analysis. Then, we present approaches to merge motion primitives which represent both the position and the orientation part of the motion. Developed approaches preserve the shape of each learned movement and allow for continuous transitions among succeeding motion primitives. Presented methodologies are theoretically described and experimentally evaluated, showing that it is possible to generate a smooth pose trajectory out of multiple motion primitives.

description: We report on the design and characterisation of an air-bearing suspension that has been constructed to highlight the properties of torsion balances with fibres of zero length. A float is levitated on this suspension and its rotational and translational motion in the horizontal plane of the laboratory is controlled using magnetic actuators. We demonstrate the in-situ electromagnetic tuning of the float's centre-of-buoyancy to an accuracy of $\pm$0.3 mm, which was limited by the noise in the air bearing. The rotational stiffness of the float, which is approximately zero by design, was also measured. We compare the observed behaviour of the float with the predictions of a detailed model of the statics of the float-actuator system. Finally, we briefly discuss the application of these ideas and results to the construction of sensitive devices for the measurement of weak forces with short ranges.

description: This paper aims to find out the interface between HR with Marketing department. It is true that HR and Marketing are two different segments since HR cares for the employees and Marketing cares for the customers. While HR identifies the best talent to represent the brand in order to support Marketing Department, the same reinforces clearly articulates the brand purpose to employees showing the reinforcement of HR mission. The paper reviews the importance of both the departments in the Business field, to maintain success in Business along with culture. Scope of human resource management covers various functions, tools and elements of internal marketing. So there is a need for clearly understanding the differences with the concept of HRM for its effective implementation. This paper also attempts to differentiate the concept of internal marketing from HRM function.We may often decipher the existence of cross-functional collaboration between HR and marketing for achieving organizational goals. We can also find some capabilities sitting in multiple versions in parallel functions. In this study, scope of interfacing cross-functional business functions for higher success has been highlighted with reference to HR and marketing. Researcher has adhered to the principles of qualitative research while detecting and assessing different aspects of cross-functional collaboration between HR and marketing in business environment. Scholarly sources of opinions have critically been assessed for testing existing theoretical frameworks having relevance with cross-functional collaboration
Legitimating inequality : fooling most of the people all of the time

description: Over the three decades leading up to the crisis of 2008, inequality dramatically increased in the United States and Great Britain. What stands out, but is seldom noted, is that this occurred within democracies where the relative losers – the overwhelming majority – could in principle have used the political system to block or reverse rising inequality. Why did they not do so? A glance at history reveals that peoples have only very infrequently contested inequality because they were led to believe that their inferior status in terms of income, wealth, and privilege was just, that it was not really so bad, or that it was necessary for their future well- being. Ideological systems legitimated a status quo of inequality, or in more modern times even increasing inequality. This article surveys the manner in which inequality has been historically legitimated, first predominantly by religion, then predominately by economic thought. Attention is then focused on the manner in which contemporary economic science and its popular interpretations in the media have served to legitimate inequality in the U.S. since the mid-1970s. The paper concludes with a reflection on the unique conditions that enable the legitimation of inequality to be delegitimated.

description: The development of civilization is attached with the progressive degradation of the environment. In order to prevent the after-effects of this process pro-ecological activities are undertaken. The aim of this paper is to show the interactions between the two phenomena in the regional aspect in Poland. Both of these phenomena can be classified as complex, therefore the investigation is based on the application of the tools of multidimensional comparative analysis. Another (simple) phenomenon was also taken into account, i.e. the level of expenditures on capital assets connected with environmental protection. Three ranking arrangements of voivodships have been constructed with respect to the phenomena mentioned before: • the degree of environmental pollution, • the size of expenditures on capital assets connected with environmental protection, • the level of pro-ecological activity. The ranking arrangements obtained and their comparisons allow for the formulation of the conclusion that the pro-ecological activities that are carried out in Poland are far behind the pollution of the environment. / Synopsis.

Obydwa zjawiska należą do kategorii złożonych, stąd w ich badaniu stosuje się narzędzia wielowymiarowej analizy porównawczej. Wzięto pod uwagę jeszcze jedno zjawisko (proste) tj. wielkość ponoszonych nakładów na środki trwałe służące środowisku. Zbudowano trzy rankingi województw ze względu na wymienione zjawiska: • stopień zanieczyszczenia środowiska, • wielkość nakładów na środki trwałe, służących środowisku, • poziom działalności proekologicznej. Otrzymane rankingi oraz porównania międzyrankingowe pozwalają sformułować wniosek, iż działania proekologiczne realizowane w Polsce nie nadążają za zanieczyszczeniami środowiska.

description: Many notable heterodox economists have viewed workplace democracy as essential for the realization of the Enlightenment ideals of liberty, equality, and community. Yet the economics profession has never given their ideal more than a passing and dismissive glance. The reasons for this have been well-covered in the literature. But one reason that has been all but ignored is that the theory of human behavior that is credited to Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations and that has dominated economic thinking ever since is not supportive of workplace democracy. However, Smith developed a far richer theory of human behavior in his Theory of Moral Sentiments. His fuller theory depicted humans as fully social beings, in need of community. This article outlines the “social approbation” theory of human behavior that Smith developed in his Theory of Moral Sentiments and demonstrates how it is in accord with the findings of contemporary evolutionary psychology. It then examines the manner in which this theory suggests workplace democracy as the appropriate organizational form of control for society’s sphere of production.
The Relationship Between Repetitive DNA & Radioresponse in Rectal Cancer

description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide with rectal cancer (RC) accounting for around 28% of cases. The current standard of care for rectal cancer involves pre-operative radiotherapy followed by surgery. Patient response to pre-operative treatment is unpredictable with around 20% of patients showing no response. The ability to predict patient response could prevent patients receiving unnecessary treatment. Ionising radiation is known to drive a global decrease in methylation which is most pronounced at Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements-1 (LINE1s). LINE1s are a family of retrotransposons which are heavily methylated and inactive in healthy cells. Hypomethylation of these elements is considered synonymous with their activation leading to genomic instability and drive the expression of coding & non-coding transcripts (e.g. LINE1 chimeric transcripts). The expression of LINE1s have not been thoroughly characterised in irradiated cells and how this correlates with radiosensitivity. This study aimed to uncover the relationship between these elements and radiosensitivity in addition to assessing the potential of resveratrol as a radiosensitiser. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring compound that has been shown to possess anti-cancer and antiinflammatory properties.
In this study, the expression profile of the L1-5’UTR and some known LCTs were characterised in two rectal cancer cell lines (SW837 & HT55) in response to radiation, resveratrol and combined treatment. Increased expression of the L1-5’UTR was observed in the sensitive SW837 cells compared with no increase in the resistant HT55 cells. Resveratrol treatment decreased survival when used alone however resulted in increased resistance when combined with radiation. SW837 clones stably expressing endo453 shRNA to knockdown the L1-5’UTR resulted in increased resistance however the control clones also showed some increased resistance. This study has shown possible links between LINE1 expression and radioresponse and further work is needed to validate whether this is the case.

description: In the present paper, we investigate the required anisotropy of an exact regular Bardeen black hole characterized by its mass $M$, the nonlinear parameter $g$, the quintessence field parameter $a$ in anti-de sitter spacetime with a static quintessence matter field. We also show that the relative pressure anisotropy, equation of state and the pressure depends on radial coordinate, reflecting the required anisotropy for Bardeen black hole in the quintessence background. Next, we analyze the Joule-Thompson ($JT$) expansion of the black hole spacetime. Treating the cosmological constant as thermodynamic pressure $P$ and its conjugate quantity as thermodynamic volume $V$ we derive the equation of state connecting Hawking temperature and various black hole parameters. We study the $JT$ expansion in the regular Bardeen AdS black holes in the quintessence background through the analysis of inversion temperature and isenthalpic curves. We derive the $JT$ coefficient $μ$, and use them to plot the inversion and isenthalpic curves. We discuss the effect of quintessence parameter $a$ and $ω_q$ on the $JT$ coefficient and inversion temperature, especially with the case of $ω_q=-1$ and $ω_q=-\frac{1}{3}$. Our analysis shows that quintessence dark energy affects the inversion point $(T_i,P_i)$ .

description: We study the sensitivity of detectors with directional sensitivity to coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$ν$NS), and how these detectors complement measurements of the nuclear recoil energy. We consider stopped pion and reactor neutrino sources, and use gaseous helium and fluorine as examples of detector material. We generate Standard Model predictions, and compare to scenarios that include new, light vector or scalar mediators. We show that directional detectors can provide valuable additional information in discerning new physics, and we identify prominent spectral features in both the angular and the recoil energy spectrum for light mediators, even for nuclear recoil energy thresholds as high as $\sim 50$ keV. Combined with energy and timing information, directional information can play an important role in extracting new physics from CE$ν$NS experiments.

title: Genetic approaches to the therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma

description: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a devastating malignancy originating from hepatocytes. There is an urgent need for novel therapeutic approaches. Currently explored gene therapy systems have not yet achieved significant survival benefits. The aim of this thesis was the development and evaluation of novel genetic approaches to this malignancy. The results of this thesis show that the only non-conjugated gene delivery system achieving significant intratumoral transgene expression is direct injection. Systemic gene delivery systems based upon Tf-shielded, polyethylenimine (PEI) based polyplexes and stabilized plasmid lipid particles (SPLP) do achieve efficient intratumoral transgene expression levels comparable to direct intratumoral injection, but their use is limited by their low intratumoral biodistribution. Further, this study shows that the use of non-viral replicon vectors based on the autonomously replicating parvoviruses minute virus of mice (pMVM) is feasible. In contrast to its viral equivalent, it allows expansion of its genome size to >106% and avoids immunogenicity. It maintains its tumorselectivity, but loses its cytotoxicity. The results of this thesis show that the Edmonston strain of measles virus (MV-Edm) efficiently infects human HCC cell lines resulting in syncytia formation followed by apoptotic cell death. The use of recombinant MV-Edm expressing marker genes allows non-invasive tracking of MV-Edm infection and kinetics. Treatment of mice bearing subcutaneous human HCC xenografts with recombinant MV-Edm resulted in significant survival benefits and tumor regression in up to one third of animals.

description: In finance, an exchange rate (also known as a foreign-exchange rate, forex rate, FX rate or Agio) between two currencies is the rate at which one currency will be exchanged for another. It is also regarded as the value of one country's currency in terms of another currency foreign exchange rates. This rate depends on the local demand for foreign currencies and their local supply, country's trade balance, strength of its economy, and other such factors.An exchange rate is how much it costs to exchange one currency for another. Exchange rates fluctuate constantly throughout the week as currencies are actively traded. This pushes the price up and down, similar to other assets such as gold or stocks.
