description: It has been recently suggested that probabilities of different events in the multiverse are given by the frequencies at which these events are encountered along the worldline of a geodesic observer (the "watcher"). Here I discuss an extension of this probability measure to quantum theory. The proposed extension is gauge-invariant, as is the classical version of this measure. Observations of the watcher are described by a reduced density matrix, and the frequencies of events can be found using the decoherent histories formalism of Quantum Mechanics (adapted to open systems). The quantum watcher measure makes predictions in agreement with the standard Born rule of QM.

description: In this paper, we present an upper limit of $Ω_{\rm GW}<1.2\times 10^{8}$ on an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background integrated over a year in the frequency range 0.05 Hz - 1 Hz, which improves current upper limits from high-precision laboratory experiments by about 9 orders of magnitude. The limit is obtained using the response of Earth itself to GWs via a free-surface effect described more than 40 years ago by F.J. Dyson. The response was measured by a global network of broadband seismometers selected to maximize the sensitivity.

description: We present a method for selecting RR Lyrae (RRL) stars (or other type of variable stars) in the absence of a large number of multi-epoch data and light curve analyses. Our method uses color and variability selection cuts that are defined by applying a Gaussian Mixture Bayesian Generative Method (GMM) on 636 pre-identified RRL stars instead of applying the commonly used rectangular cuts. Specifically, our method selects 8,115 RRL candidates (heliocentric distances < 70 kpc) using GMM color cuts from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and GMM variability cuts from the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System 1 3pi survey (PS1). Comparing our method with the Stripe 82 catalog of RRL stars shows that the efficiency and completeness levels of our method are ~77% and ~52%, respectively. Most contaminants are either non-variable main-sequence stars or stars in eclipsing systems. The method described here efficiently recovers known stellar halo substructures. It is expected that the current completeness and efficiency levels will further improve with the additional PS1 epochs (~3 epochs per filter) that will be observed before the conclusion of the survey. A comparison between our efficiency and completeness levels using the GMM method to the efficiency and completeness levels using rectangular cuts that are commonly used yielded a significant increase in the efficiency level from ~13% to ~77% and an insignificant change in the completeness levels. Hence, we favor using the GMM technique in future studies. Although we develop it over the SDSS X PS1 footprint, the technique presented here would work well on any multi-band, multi-epoch survey for which the number of epochs is limited.

By establishing some results on deterministic backward differential equations with general time intervals, and by virtue of Girsanov's theorem and convolution technique, we establish a new existence and uniqueness result for solutions of this kind of backward stochastic differential equations, which extends the results of Hamadene (2003) and Fan, Jiang, Tian (2011) to the general time interval case.

description: We present a highly flexible and portable instrument to perform pump-probe spectroscopy with an optical and an X-ray pulse in the gas phase. The so-called URSA-PQ (German for ‘Ultraschnelle Röntgenspektroskopie zur Abfrage der Photoenergiekonversion an Quantensystemen’, Engl. ‘ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy for probing photoenergy conversion in quantum systems’) instrument is equipped with a magnetic bottle electron spectrometer (MBES) and tools to characterize the spatial and temporal overlap of optical and X-ray laser pulses. Its adherence to the CAMP instrument dimensions allows for a wide range of sample sources as well as other spectrometers to be included in the setup. We present the main design and technical features of the instrument. The MBES performance was evaluated using Kr M4,5NN Auger lines using backfilled Kr gas, with an energy resolution ΔE/E ≅ 1/40 in the integrating operative mode. The time resolution of the setup at FLASH 2 FL 24 has been characterized with the help of an experiment on 2-thiouracil that is inserted via the instruments’ capillary oven. We find a time resolution of 190 fs using the molecular 2p photoline shift and attribute this to different origins in the UV-pump—the X-ray probe setup.

sues of Poultry Welfare: in context to developing Countries like India

description: The poultry sector is one of the most rapidly growing livestock sectors worldwide. Although industrialized countries have much higher average per capita consumption of most poultry products, production in developing countries is increasing rapidly. According to World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the definition of animal welfare refers to how well an animal can cope with the conditions in which it lives. During the last few decades increasingly sophisticated interest in the welfare of farm animals has developed. At the same time there has been a move towards more welfare-friendly housing systems like loose housing systems and stables with deep litter for dairy cows, group housing for pregnant sows, and large floor systems with access to outdoor facilities for laying hens. These so-called welfare-friendly housing systems provide generous space and other conditions which encourage animals to express their natural behaviour. In some countries, government subsidies for farmers are linked to guarantees of high welfare standards on the farm and interest is only driven by export opportunities for poultry meat, especially to Europe. In many countries, meat and other animal products coming out of welfare-friendly housing systems are sold at a higher price than alternatives which have been 'conventionally' produced. But this is yet to be recognised in India.

description: Recently web applications have been widely used in enterprises to assist employees in providing effective and efficient business processes. Forecasting upcoming web events in enterprise web applications can be beneficial in many ways, such as efficient caching and recommendation. In this paper, we present a web event forecasting approach, DeepEvent, in enterprise web applications for better anomaly detection. DeepEvent includes three key features: web-specific neural networks to take into account the characteristics of sequential web events, self-supervised learning techniques to overcome the scarcity of labeled data, and sequence embedding techniques to integrate contextual events and capture dependencies among web events. We evaluate DeepEvent on web events collected from six real-world enterprise web applications. Our experimental results demonstrate that DeepEvent is effective in forecasting sequential web events and detecting web based anomalies. DeepEvent provides a context-based system for researchers and practitioners to better forecast web events with situational awareness.

description: We extract experimentally the electronic thermal conductivity, $K_{e}$, in suspended graphene which we dope using a back-gate electrode. We make use of two-point dc electron transport at low bias voltages and intermediate temperatures (50 - 160 K), where the electron and lattice temperatures are decoupled. The thermal conductivity is proportional to the charge conductivity times the temperature, confirming that the Wiedemann-Franz relation is obeyed in suspended graphene. We extract an estimate of the Lorenz coefficient as 1.1 to 1.7 $\times 10^{-8}$ W $Ω$K$^{-2}$. $K_e$ shows a transistor effect and can be tuned with the back-gate by more than a factor of 2 as the charge carrier density ranges from $\approx$ 0.5 to 1.8 $\times 10^{11}$cm$^{-2}$.

description: Using non-equilibrium renormalized perturbation theory to second order in the renormalized Coulomb repulsion, we calculate the lesser $Σ^$ self-energies of the impurity Anderson model, which describes the current through a quantum dot, in the general asymmetric case. While in general a numerical integration is required to evaluate the perturbative result, we derive an analytical approximation for small frequency $ω$, bias voltage $V$ and temperature $T$ which is exact to total second order in these quantities. The approximation is valid when the corresponding energies $\hbar ω$, $eV$ and $k_B T$ are small compared to $k_B T_K$, where $T_K$ is the Kondo temperature. The result of the numerical integration is compared with the analytical one and with Ng approximation, in which $Σ^$ are assumed proportional to the retarded self-energy $Σ^r$ times an average Fermi function. While it fails at $T=0$ for $\hbar|ω| \lesssim eV$ we find that the Ng approximation is excellent for $k_B T > eV/2$ and improves for asymmetric coupling to the leads. Even at $T=0$, the effect of the Ng approximation on the total occupation at the dot is very small. The dependence on $ω$ and $V$ are discussed in comparison with a Ward identity that is fulfilled by the three approaches. We also calculate the heat currents between the dot and any of the leads at finite bias voltage. One of the heat currents changes sign with the applied bias voltage at finite temperature.

description: Superbursts from accreting neutron stars probe nuclear reactions at extreme densities ($ρ\approx 10^{9}~g\,cm^{-3}$) and temperatures ($T>10^9~K$). These bursts ($\sim$1000 times more energetic than type I X-ray bursts) are most likely triggered by unstable ignition of carbon in a sea of heavy nuclei made during the rp-process of regular type I X-ray bursts (where the accumulated hydrogen and helium are burned). An open question is the origin of sufficient amounts of carbon, which is largely destroyed during the rp-process in X-ray bursts. We explore carbon production in steady-state burning via the rp-process, which might occur together with unstable burning in systems showing superbursts. We find that for a wide range of accretion rates and accreted helium mass fractions large amounts of carbon are produced, even for systems that accrete solar composition. This makes stable hydrogen and helium burning a viable source of carbon to trigger superbursts. We also investigate the sensitivity of the results to nuclear reactions. We find that the $^{14}$O($α$,p)$^{17}$F reaction rate introduces by far the largest uncertainties in the $^{12}$C yield.

description: We extend ring-polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) to allow for the direct simulation of general, electronically non-adiabatic chemical processes. The kinetically constrained (KC) RPMD method uses the imaginary-time path-integral representation in the set of nuclear coordinates and electronic states to provide continuous equations of motion that describe the quantized, electronically non-adiabatic dynamics of the system. KC-RPMD preserves the favorable properties of the usual RPMD formulation in the position representation, including rigorous detailed balance, time-reversal symmetry, and invariance of reaction rate calculations to the choice of dividing surface. However, the new method overcomes significant shortcomings of position-representation RPMD by enabling the description of non-adiabatic transitions between states associated with general, many-electron wavefunctions and by accurately describing deep-tunneling processes across asymmetric barriers. We demonstrate that KC-RPMD yields excellent numerical results for a range of model systems, including a simple avoided-crossing reaction and condensed-phase electron-transfer reactions across multiple regimes for the electronic coupling and thermodynamic driving force.

description: This dissertation explores the transmission of monetary policy. Chapter 1 highlights the role of firms' liquidity in monetary policy transmitted to innovations. I construct a patent-based measure of innovation using historical patent data. I document several empirical findings. Expansionary monetary shocks increase aggregate total factor productivity (TFP), aggregate innovations measured by the number of patents and their value at the aggregate level. Firm-level data show that firms with higher liquidity contribute to the increase in innovation in response to expansionary monetary policy. Moreover, I provide evidence suggesting that the mechanism underlying such heterogeneity is not because firms with higher liquidity benefit from the appreciation of their patent value but because they can easily access accumulated cash reserves to finance their investment. To explain empirical findings, I develop a model of firms with cash-in-advance constraints, which predicts that firms with higher liquidity are most responsive to expansionary monetary policy shock while those with lower liquidity face binding constraints for innovation. Chapter 2 highlights the role of early refinancing as an investment channel for the transmission of monetary policy on the firm side. Based on the Mergent Fixed Income Securities Database, I conduct two regression analyses. First, I document heterogeneous early refinancing responses to monetary policy shock. I find that firms with good financial health measured by (i) a low leverage ratio and (ii) good credit ratings are more likely to conduct early refinancing. Second, I show that given monetary policy shock, early refinancing stimulates investment. My findings suggest that we should consider the early refinancing channel for the transmission of monetary policy shock. These empirical findings face endogeneity issues which are left as a topic for future research. Chapter 3 examines the transmission of monetary policy to consumption with demographic changes taken into account. Especially, this paper focuses on the labor market to clarify the mechanism underlying heterogeneous consumption response by age. Using Consumer Expenditure Surveys (CEX), I show that older households respond more to expansionary monetary policy shocks compared to young- and middle-aged households. I further provide evidence using their labor market outcomes. This suggests that the labor income of older households increase more than others and this was driven by an increase in their hourly wage rather than an increase in working hours.
Physical modeling of the soil swelling curve vs. the shrinkage curve

description: Physical understanding of the links between soil swelling, texture, structure, cracking, and sample size is of great interest for the physical understanding of many processes in the soil-air-water system and for applications in civil, agricultural, and environmental engineering. The background of this work is an available chain of interconnected physical shrinkage curve models for clay, intra-aggregate matrix, aggregated soil without cracks, and soil with cracks. The objective of the work is to generalize these models to the case of swelling, and to construct the physical-swelling-model chain with a step-by-step transition from clay to aggregated soil with cracks. The generalization is based on thorough accounting for the analogies and differences between shrinkage and swelling and the corresponding use, modification, or replacement of the soil shrinkage features. Two specific soil swelling features to be used are: (i) air entrapping in pores of the contributing clay; and (ii) aggregate destruction with the formation of new aggregate surfaces. The input for the prediction of the swelling curve of an aggregated soil coincides with that of the available model of the shrinkage curve. The analysis of available data on the maximum shrink-swell cycle of two soils with different texture and structure, accounting for sample size is conducted as applied to swelling curves and to the residual crack volume and maximum-swelling-volume decrease after the shrink-swell cycle. Results of the analysis show evidence in favor of the swelling model chain.

description: Structural competency training provides guidance to healthcare providers on recognizing and addressing structural factors leading to health inequities. To inform the evidence-based progression of structural competency curriculum development, this study was designed to map the current state of the literature on structural competency training with pre-health students, healthcare professional students, and/or healthcare professionals. We performed a scoping review and identified peer-reviewed, primary research articles assessing structural competency training interventions. The category of learners, timing of the structural competency training, types of teaching and learning activities used, instruments used to measure training outcomes, and evaluation criteria were examined. Eleven (n = 11) articles met inclusion criteria, addressing all training levels, and largely focused on medical education. Active learning strategies and researcher-developed instruments to measure training outcomes were most used. Evaluation criteria largely focused on trainees’ affective reactions, utility assessments, and direct measure of the trainee learning. We suggest designing interprofessional structural competency education with an emphasis on active learning strategies and standardized training curricula. Evaluation instruments integrated at different points in the health professional learning trajectory are important for evidence-based progression in curriculum development focused on achieving structural competency.
Equilibria of a charged artificial satellite subject to gravitational and Lorentz torques

description: Attitude Dynamics of a rigid artificial satellite subject to gravity gradient and Lorentz torques in a circular orbit is considered. Lorentz torque is developed on the basis of the electrodynamic effects of the Lorentz force acting on the charged satellite's surface. We assume that the satellite is moving in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) in the geomagnetic field which is considered as a dipole model. Our model of the torque due to the Lorentz force is developed for a general shape of artificial satellite, and the nonlinear differential equations of Euler are used to describe its attitude orientation. All equilibrium positions are determined and {their} existence conditions are obtained. The numerical results show that the charge $q$ and radius $ρ_0$ of the charged center of satellite provide a certain type of semi passive control for the attitude of satellite. The technique for such kind of control would be to increase or decrease the electrostatic radiation screening of the satellite. The results {obtained} confirm that the change in charge can effect the magnitude of the Lorentz torque, which may affect the satellite's control. Moreover, the relation between the magnitude of the Lorentz torque and inclination of the orbits is investigated.

description: Context. Due to the effects that they can have on the atmospheres of exoplanets, stellar winds have recently received significant attention in the literature. Alfvén-wave-driven 3D magnetohydrodynamic models, which are increasingly used to predict stellar wind properties, contain unconstrained parameters and rely on low-resolution stellar magnetograms. Aims. In this paper, we explore the effects of the input Alfvén wave energy flux and the surface magnetogram on the wind properties predicted by the Alfvén Wave Solar Model (AWSoM) model for both the solar and stellar winds. Methods. We lowered the resolution of two solar magnetograms during solar cycle maximum and minimum using spherical harmonic decomposition. The Alfvén wave energy was altered based on non-thermal velocities determined from a far ultraviolet spectrum of the solar twin 18 Sco. Additionally, low-resolution magnetograms of three solar analogues, 18 Sco, HD 76151, and HN Peg, were obtained using Zeeman Doppler imaging and used as a proxy for the solar magnetogram. Finally, the simulated wind properties were compared to Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) observations. Results. AWSoM simulations using well constrained input parameters taken from solar observations can reproduce the observed solar wind mass loss and angular momentum loss rates. The simulated wind velocity, proton density, and ram pressure differ from ACE observations by a factor of approximately two. The resolution of the magnetogram has a small impact on the wind properties and only during cycle maximum. However, variation in Alfvén wave energy influences the wind properties irrespective of the solar cycle activity level. Furthermore, solar wind simulations carried out using the low-resolution magnetogram of the three stars instead of the solar magnetogram could lead to an order of a magnitude difference in the simulated solar wind properties. Conclusions. The choice in Alfvén energy has a stronger influence on the wind output compared to the magnetogram resolution. The influence could be even stronger for stars whose input boundary conditions are not as well constrained as those of the Sun. Unsurprisingly, replacing the solar magnetogram with a stellar magnetogram could lead to completely inaccurate solar wind properties, and should be avoided in solar and stellar wind simulations. Further observational and theoretical work is needed to fully understand the complexity of solar and stellar winds.

description: Measuring the stellar position angle provides valuable information on binary stellar formation or stellar spin axis evolution. We aim to develop a method for determining the absolute stellar position angle using spectro-astrometric analysis of high resolution long-slit spectra. The method has been designed in particular for slowly rotating stars. We investigate its applicability to existing dispersive long-slit spectrographs, identified here by their plate scale, and the size of the resulting stellar sample. The stellar rotation induces a tilt in the stellar lines whose angle depends on the stellar position angle and the orientation of the slit. We developed a rotation model to calculate and reproduce the effects of stellar rotation on unreduced high resolution stellar spectra. Then we retrieved the tilt amplitude using a spectro-astrometric extraction of the position of the photocentre of the spectrum. Finally we present two methods for analysing the position spectrum using either direct measurement of the tilt or a cross-correlation analysis. For stars with large apparent diameter and using a spectrograph with a small plate scale, we show that it is possible to determine the stellar position angle directly within 10deg with a signal-to-noise ratio of the order of 6. Under less favourable conditions, i.e. larger plate scale or smaller stellar diameter, the cross-correlation method yields comparable results. We show that with the currently existing instruments, it is possible to determine the stellar position angle of at least 50 stars precisely, mostly K-type giants with apparent diameter down to 5 milliarcseconds. If we consider errors of around 10deg still acceptable, we may include stars with apparent diameter down to 2 mas in the sample that then comprises also some main sequence stars.

description: We examined interprofessional working in a newly implemented parent-infant mental health service team supporting families experiencing bonding and attachment difficulties. The aim was to identify forms of interprofessional work undertaken, barriers and facilitators of this work, and families’ and healthcare professionals’ perceptions of it. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 21 stakeholders (5 parents, 4 team clinicians, 9 service referrers, 3 service commissioners) and were analyzed thematically. Interprofessional activities identified included building the service team’s cohesion and shared practice, building partner networks, interagency communication, coordination of roles, and raising awareness of infant mental health and parent-infant relationship needs. Enablers and barriers to interprofessional working were broadly consistent with findings from previous studies of related services, but with additional emphasis on consultative work as an enabler. Healthcare professionals reported benefiting from the case consultations and training on infant mental health provided by the service team. Parents reported that good interprofessional working enhanced satisfaction and engagement with the service. Findings indicate the centrality of interprofessional working for parent-infant mental health teams, with implications for future service implementation, service development, and understanding of mechanisms by which such services may influence family outcomes.

description: Superconductivity is successfully induced by utilizing a battery-like reaction found in a typical Li-ion battery. Excess Fe in FeTe0.8S0.2 is electrochemically de-intercalated by applying a voltage in a citric acid solution. The superconducting properties improve with an increase in the applied voltage up to 1.5 V. This result suggests that an electrochemical reaction can be used as a novel method to develop new superconducting materials.

description: This study aimed to establish shared interprofessional competencies across health professions that promote education, communication, and teamwork, preparing the virtual care workforce to work collaboratively with the patient and their carers, family members, and communities to improve health outcomes. A modified, two-round Delphi process was undertaken with an interprofessional panel selected from the public health sector workforce across one Australian state. Sixty-nine panelists participated in Round 1 and 40 panelists participated in Round 2. Fifty-eight competencies across seven domains were established to support an interprofessional approach to virtual care provision: compliance, professional practice, patient safety, communication, interprofessional collaboration, patient assessment and care planning/delivery/coordination. This virtual care education framework may assist different health disciplines to develop, revise or map new or existing undergraduate or postgraduate education programs or design professional development activities. Drawing upon the expertise of a broad range of health professionals in its development, this education framework focuses on improving interprofessional collaboration in virtual care settings.

Investigation of the Initial State of the Moon-Forming Disk: Bridging SPH Simulations and Hydrostatic Models

description: According to the standard giant impact hypothesis, the Moon formed from a partially vaporized disk generated by a collision between the proto Earth and a Mars sized impactor. The initial structure of the disk significantly affects the Moon forming process, including the Moons mass, its accretion time scale, and its isotopic similarity to Earth. The dynamics of the impact event determines the initial structure of a nearly hydrostatic Moon forming disk. However, the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic models have been studied separately and their connection has not previously been well quantified. Here, we show the extent to which the properties of the disk can be inferred from Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations. By using entropy, angular momentum and mass distributions of the SPH outputs as approximately conserved quantities, we compute the two dimensional disk structure. We investigate four different models: (a) standard, the canonical giant impact model, (b) fast spinning Earth, a collision between a fast spinning Earth and a small impactor, (c) sub Earths, a collision between two objects with half Earths mass, and (d) intermediate, a collision of two bodies whose mass ratio is 7:3. Our SPH calculations show that the initial disk has approximately uniform entropy. The disks of the fast spinning Earth and sub Earths cases are hotter and more vaporized (80-90% vapor) than the standard case (20%). The intermediate case falls between these values. In the highly vaporized cases, our procedure fails to establish a unique surface density profile of the disk because the disk is unstable according to the Rayleigh criterion. In these cases, we estimate non-unique disk models by conserving global quantities. We also develop a semi analytic model for the thermal structure of the disk, which requires only two inputs: the average entropy and the surface density of the disk.

description: We describe the development and student evaluation of a collaborative health service provider and higher education institution initiative designed to deliver an Interprofessional Education (IPE) pilot workshop program for healthcare students. The aim was to investigate whether an IPE workshop would result in improved student confidence in self-reported interprofessional competencies using the Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Scale (ICCAS) tool. The workshops involved interprofessional student groups working on a patient case followed by a facilitator-led discussion and patient representative interaction. There were three different voluntary, extra-curricular workshops. A total of 99 students registered, from 3rd to 5th year undergraduate and 2nd year graduate entry healthcare programs at a single Irish university in February 2022. Ninety-three post-workshop survey responses showed statistically significant improvements in the ICCAS subscales of Communication, Collaboration, Roles and Responsibilities, Collaborative Patient/Family-Centered Approach, and Team Functioning; Conflict Management showed less change. Students reported positively on the benefit of the patient representative, the workshop format, and the opportunity to collaborate with students from other professions. Our findings indicate that this was a beneficial and effective way to deliver IPE across a range of healthcare professions that led to improvements in self-reported interprofessional competencies.
Incremental Tabling in Support of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

description: Resolution-based Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) systems, such as Flora-2, Silk or Ergo, can scale to tens or hundreds of millions of facts, while supporting reasoning that includes Hilog, inheritance, defeasibility theories, and equality theories. These systems handle the termination and complexity issues that arise from the use of these features by a heavy use of tabled resolution. In fact, such systems table by default all rules defined by users, unless they are simple facts. Performing dynamic updates within such systems is nearly impossible unless the tables themselves can be made to react to changes. Incremental tabling as first implemented in XSB (Saha 2006) partially addressed this problem, but the implementation was limited in scope and not always easy to use. In this paper, we introduce transparent incremental tabling which at the semantic level supports updates in the 3-valued well-founded semantics, while guaranteeing full consistency of all tabled queries. Transparent incremental tabling also has significant performance improvements over previous implementations, including lazy recomputation, and control over the dependency structures used to determine how tables are updated.
