description: The bandgap energy values for the ferroelectric BaTiO3-based solid solutions with isovalent substitution Ba1-x SrxTiO3, BaZrxTi1-xO3 and BaSnxTi1-xO3 were determined using diffuse reflectance spectra. While the corresponding unit cell volume follows Vegard's law in accordance with the different ionic radii of the ionic substitutions, the bandgap values depict non-linear compositional dependences for all the solid solutions. The effect is considerably large for BaZrxTi1-xO3 and BaSnxTi1-xO3 solutions, depicting a bandgap linear compositional dependence up to x=0.6, for x>0.6 BaZrxTi1-xO3 compounds present much larger bandgap values than BaSnxTi1-xO3 counterparts. Electronic properties have been investigated through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in BaSnxTi1-xO3 compounds, indicating that the Sn 3d and Ti 2p core levels shift against the Ba 3d ones within the whole compositional range with the same energy trend as that observed for the optical bandgap. Since for Ba1-x SrxTiO3 compounds no major bandgap variation is observed, we conclude that the bandgap compositional dependences observed for BaSnxTi1-xO3 compounds and BaZrxTi1-xO3 ones are originated from the structural sensitivity of the O, Ti and Sn or Zr electronic bands involved in the bandgap transition of these compounds. With this work, we underline the reliability of the bandgap determined from diffuse reflectance spectrometry experiments, as a means to non-invasively evaluate the electronic properties of powder materials.

Density of states as a probe of electrostatic confinement in graphene
Creators: name: Schneider, Martin

Publisher: name: Freie Universität Berlin

Subjects: subject: 500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik::530 Physik

description: We theoretically analyze the possibility to confine electrons in single-layer graphene with the help of metallic gates, via the evaluation of the density of states of such a gate-defined quantum dot in the presence of a ring-shaped metallic contact. The possibility to electrostatically confine electrons in a gate-defined “quantum dot” with finite-carrier density, surrounded by an undoped graphene sheet, strongly depends on the integrability of the electron dynamics in the quantum dot. With the present calculations, we can quantitatively compare confinement in dots with integrable and chaotic dynamics, and verify the prediction that the Berry phase associated with the pseudospin leads to partial confinement in situations where no confinement is expected according to the arguments relying on the classical dynamics only.
One Sense per Collocation and Genre/Topic Variations

description: This paper revisits the one sense per collocation hypothesis using fine-grained sense distinctions and two different corpora. We show that the hypothesis is weaker for fine-grained sense distinctions (70% vs. 99% reported earlier on 2-way ambiguities). We also show that one sense per collocation does hold across corpora, but that collocations vary from one corpus to the other, following genre and topic variations. This explains the low results when performing word sense disambiguation across corpora. In fact, we demonstrate that when two independent corpora share a related genre/topic, the word sense disambiguation results would be better. Future work on word sense disambiguation will have to take into account genre and topic as important parameters on their models.

description: Cabbage seedpod weevil, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an invasive alien species that impacts seed production of canola, Brassica napus and B. rapa (Brassicaceae), one of Canada’s major agricultural crops. To determine the need for and potential impact of introduction of one or more natural enemies for biological control it is essential to understand the mortality factors associated with C. obstrictus both in the native range and in the introduced range. Life tables were constructed for Ontario and British Columbia populations to determine the mortality factors affecting C. obstrictus. These were compared with life tables generated in Switzerland, the area of origin of the weevil. Results indicated that introduction of an exotic specialist parasitoid into canola growing regions of Canada would substantially reduce C. obstrictus populations. This study is the first to compare life tables of an invasive pest in the areas of origin and introduction.

description: Non-unitarity of the neutrino mixing matrix is expected in many scenarios with physics beyond the Standard Model. Motivated by the search for deviations from unitary, we study two neutrino counting observables: the neutrino-antineutrino gamma process and the invisible $Z$ boson decay into neutrinos. We report on new constraints for non-unitarity coming from the first of this observables. We study the potential constraints that future collider experiments will give from the invisible decay of the Z boson, that will be measured with improved precision.

description: This report outlines a parallel abstract machine for the implementation of a lazy functional core language. The evaluation transformer model of reduction [1] is used to control the evaluation process. An evaluator space containing parameterised evaluators for structured and polymorphic types is introduced. Using this framework it is possible to handle runtime information about evaluators for arbitrary structured types as well as evaluation transformers for functions over polymorphic types.

description: Are expert observers and the public at large able to provide an objective assessment of the personality of political figures? We provide special attention to the (curious) personality of Donald Trump and triangulate data from seven sources: two mass surveys with US citizens, three expert surveys (in the USA, Germany, and the Netherlands), and two surveys with undergraduate students in the Netherlands. This triangulation allows us to highlight that in the US public opinions about Trump are extremely polarized even beyond partisanship; for instance, agreeable voters tend to have a better opinion of Trump if they are Democrats, whereas disagreeable individuals tend to have a better opinion of Trump if they are Republicans. Experts, on the other hand, are not as dramatically driven by their ideological preferences as some might fear, and they globally seem to agree on his extreme profile. Non-experts (Dutch students) are equally able to draw a consistent profile of Trump, more or less regardless of their personal preferences, as are experts – something that US voters seem incapable of, especially if leaning towards the right. Finally, experts and students also assess consistently the personality of selected other political figures beyond Trump – Angela Merkel, and two leading figures in Dutch politics.
American Decorative Stenciling: 1840 to 1940

subject: Stencil work

description: This thesis analyzes American stenciling from 1840 to 1940 and explores how stenciling mirrored various shifts in society and architectural and decorative styles during that time period. During the Victorian Period, the industrialization of the United States and many of the related changes in American society played a pivotal role in the development of the professional decorator/painter and the use of stencils in decorating schemes. Additionally, this thesis provides an in depth analysis of the development of the painter into the painter/decorator thus creating a demand for the extensive use of stencils throughout the late 1800s. Understanding the significance of stenciled interiors will lead to a better interpretation of historic structures and increase the knowledge and appreciation of stenciling. Ultimately, however, as American society moved from the Victorian era to the Modern era, the preference for simplified and streamlined architectural styles along with a decline in decorators’ abilities resulted in the decreased use of stenciling as a decorative finish.

description: We compute the $K$ and $L_{3}$ -edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectrum of the columnar and the staggered quantum dimer states accessible to the square lattice Heisenberg magnet. Utilizing a bond operator representation mean field theory we investigate the RIXS features of the one- and two-triplon excitation spectrum supported by the quantum dimer model in the background of condensed singlet excitation. We find that the two-triplon excitation boundary lies within a 124 (78) meV to (414) 345 meV energy range for the columnar (staggered) phase. We estimated the two-triplon gap to be 124 (78) meV for the columnar (staggered) dimer phase. The highest intensity of the $K$ -edge RIXS spectrum is centralized approximately around the $(π/2,π/2)$ point for both the columnar and the staggered phases. At the $L_{3}$ -edge we study the one- and two- triplon signal considering experimental scattering geometry, polarization restriction, and experimental resolution effects. Our calculations find an additional contribution to the two-triplon RIXS signal, not previously reported in the literature, that originates from the local hard-core dimer constraint. This leads to a finite non-zero signal at the (0,0) momentum transfer which can offer an explanation for the existing ladder RIXS experiments and also predicts a non-zero signal for the two-dimensional quantum dimer system. We find that the $L_3$ edge RIXS response of the one- and two-triplon signal could exist in antiphase rung modulation for zero and $π$ as found in inelastic neutron scattering. We also consider static crystal twinning at the $L_3$ -edge RIXS signal to mimic realistic crystal effects. Since the disordered phase has the potential to harbor a variety of quantum paramagnetic states, our RIXS calculations provide useful signatures to identify the true nature of the ordering pattern.

Abstract
Alpelisib (Piqray™) - an orally available phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor with specific activity against PI3K alpha (PI3Kα) - is being developed by Novartis for the treatment of breast cancer. Alpelisib has demonstrated efficacy in combination with fulvestrant as treatment for hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer in patients with a PIK3CA mutation and was recently approved for this indication in the USA. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of alpelisib leading to this first approval.

description: We study the maximum likelihood estimation problem for several classes of toric Fano models. We start by exploring the maximum likelihood degree for all $2$-dimensional Gorenstein toric Fano varieties. We show that the ML degree is equal to the degree of the surface in every case except for the quintic del Pezzo surface with two ordinary double points and provide explicit expressions that allow one to compute the maximum likelihood estimate in closed form whenever the ML degree is less than 5. We then explore the reasons for the ML degree drop using $A$-discriminants and intersection theory. Finally, we show that toric Fano varieties associated to 3-valent phylogenetic trees have ML degree one and provide a formula for the maximum likelihood estimate. We prove it as a corollary to a more general result about the multiplicativity of ML degrees of codimension zero toric fiber products, and it also follows from a connection to a recent result about staged trees.

description: Como alternativa a las materias primas fósiles, las nuevas tecnologías, como los vehículos eléctricos, las computadoras portátiles o los teléfonos celulares, están apostando por las baterías de litio. La demanda de litio en el mercado global está creciendo vertiginosamente. Bolivia es uno de los países con los yacimientos de litio más grandes a nivel mundial; su explotación y el procesamiento de litio son considerados como la salida a las estructuras de pobreza y dependencia. Este estudio analiza el programa estatal de industrialización del litio del gobierno Morales en Bolivia relativo a sus potencialidades y especialmente a potenciales escenarios de conflicto y a dimensiones específicas de desigualdad social. Dirige su mirada a las múltiples dimensiones de desigualdad que están entrelazadas en el procesamiento del litio en el Salar de Uyuni. Analiza el marco legislativo sobre participación social y sobre el medio ambiento, los efectos negativos y los riesgos ambientales que afectarían el agua, la agricultura, la ganadería realizada por la población rural, así como el turismo.

description: Background: A significant proportion of trauma survivors experience an additional critical life event in the aftermath. These renewed experiences of traumatic and stressful life events may lead to an increase in trauma-related mental health symptoms. Method: In a longitudinal study, the effects of renewed experiences of a trauma or stressful life event were examined. For this purpose, refugees seeking asylum in Germany were assessed for posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTS), Posttraumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale (PDS), anxiety, and depression (Hopkins Symptom Checklist [HSCL-25]) before treatment start as well as after 6 and 12 months during treatment (N=46). Stressful life events and traumatic events were recorded monthly. If a new event happened, PDS and HSCL were additionally assessed directly afterwards. Mann–Whitney U-tests were performed to calculate the differences between the group that experienced an additional critical event (stressful vs. trauma) during treatment (n=23) and the group that did not (n=23), as well as differences within the critical event group between the stressful life event group (n=13) and the trauma group (n=10). Results: Refugees improved significantly during the 12-month period of our study, but remained severely distressed. In a comparison of refugees with a new stressful life event or trauma, significant increases in PTS, anxiety, and depressive symptoms were found directly after the experience, compared to the group without a renewed event during the 12 months of treatment. With regard to the different critical life events (stressful vs. trauma), no significant differences were found regarding overall PTS, anxiety, and depression symptoms. Only avoidance symptoms increased significantly in the group experiencing a stressful life event. Conclusion: Although all clinicians should be aware of possible PTS symptom reactivation, especially those working with refugees and asylum seekers, who often experience new critical life events, should understand symptom fluctuation and address it in treatment.

description: Oral diseases affect approximately 3.9 billion people globally (Watt et al., 2020). Dental caries and periodontal disorders are among the top ten most prevalent diseases worldwide (Peres et al., 2019). Out-of-pocket payments and exclusion from most national health systems have created a disparity for access and use of dental services by adults. The affordability of dental services is a challenge for most populations globally (Peres et al., 2019). Within Australia dental services are not covered by the public funding systems including Medicare and most adults must pay out-of-pocket for treatment (Duckett et al., 2019). To produce research that is both theoretically and methodologically sound this thesis explored literature for the barriers to access and use of dental services to develop and empirically test an explanatory causal model for the use of dental services by Australian adults. After presenting background material in the form of a published scoping review (paper 1), the primary empirical study findings are presented in this thesis. From the scoping review cost (affordability of dental treatment) was identified as the primary possible causal factor that reduced the access and use of dental services by adults globally.

description: Following an earlier paper on the differential-geometric structure of the moduli space of special Lagrangian submanifolds in a Calabi-Yau manifold, we follow an analogous approach for compact complex Lagrangian submanifolds of a (Kählerian) complex symplectic manifold. The natural geometric structure on the moduli space is a special Kähler metric, but we offer a different point of view on the local differential geometry of these, based on the structure of a submanifold of $V\times V$ (where $V$ is a symplectic vector space) which is Lagrangian with respect to two constant symplectic forms. As an application, we show using this point of view how the hyperkähler metric of Cecotti, Ferrara and Girardello associated to a special Kähler structure fits into the Legendre transform construction of Lindström and Ro\v cek.

description: We conduct a numerical investigation of structural order in the shifted-force Lennard-Jones system by calculating metrics of translational and bond-orientational order along various paths in the phase diagram covering equilibrium solid, liquid, and vapor states. A series of non-equilibrium configurations generated through isochoric quenches, isothermal compressions, and energy minimizations are also considered. Simulation results are analyzed using an ordering map representation [Torquato et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2064 (2000); Truskett et al., Phys. Rev. E 62, 993 (2000)] that assigns to both equilibrium and non-equilibrium states coordinates in an order metric plane. Our results show that bond-orientational order and translational order are not independent for simple spherically symmetric systems at equilibrium. We also demonstrate quantitatively that the Lennard-Jones and hard sphere systems sample the same configuration space at supercritical densities. Finally, we relate the structural order found in fast-quenched and minimum-energy configurations (inherent structures).

title: On the Transformational Potential of ‘Eating Local’: Insights for Socially Just Local Food System and Social Sustainability Theory and Practice
Creators: name: Duell, Rebecca

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Agri-food
subject: Food production
subject: Food sustainability
subject: Global food crisis

description: The gradual restructuring of international food and agriculture (or agri-food) systems over the past several decades has established industrialisation, productivism, and corporatisation as overriding imperatives governing contemporary food provisioning. The resultant interrelated adverse social and ecological impacts have led many commentators to argue that a global ‘food crisis’ is evident. These impacts include the loss of small farmer livelihoods, patenting of biological resources, increased soil, air, and water pollution, and heighted levels of food insecurity. An oft promoted strategy to combat this crisis and ensure agri-food sustainability is the shortening of food supply chains and the increased consumption of locally produced food through community- based food systems. The social dimension of sustainability is central to the development of sustainability strategies, such as local food systems. An explicit social focus highlights that to be transformative and address the root causes of socio-ecological change, sustainability is best understood as a socially negotiated process and not just a project for setting reformist goals and indicators. A primary component of this process-based approach to sustainability is social justice. In particular, procedural social justice emphasises the importance of including disadvantaged individuals and social groups when developing equitable actions for sustainability, which help mitigate the social inequalities that often lie at the heart of sustainability challenges. Problematically, local food systems have been found to inadequately address representations of social injustice faced by citizen- consumers. A deficit of social justice in local food practice results in a myriad of possible problems, including the (often unwitting) exclusion of socially marginalised community members, the development of ineffectual market-driven consumer-based sustainability interventions, or the devaluation of minority perspectives on food and eating. These problems call into question the possibility that ‘eating local’ can develop beyond a niche social practice to present a viable transition pathway toward more just and sustainable agri-food systems.

description: We extend to the sl(N) case the results that we previously obtained on the construction of W_{q,p} algebras from the elliptic algebra A_{q,p}(\hat{sl}(2)_c). The elliptic algebra A_{q,p}(\hat{sl}(N)_c) at the critical level c=-N has an extended center containing trace-like operators t(z). Families of Poisson structures indexed by N(N-1)/2 integers, defining q-deformations of the W_N algebra, are constructed. The operators t(z) also close an exchange algebra when (-p^1/2)^{NM} = q^{-c-N} for M in Z. It becomes Abelian when in addition p=q^{Nh} where h is a non-zero integer. The Poisson structures obtained in these classical limits contain different q-deformed W_N algebras depending on the parity of h, characterizing the exchange structures at p \ne q^{Nh} as new W_{q,p}(sl(N)) algebras.

Commensurate-incommensurate transition of cold atoms in an optical lattice

description: An atomic gas subject to a commensurate periodic potential generated by an optical lattice undergoes a superfluid--Mott insulator transition. Confining a strongly interacting gas to one dimension generates an instability where an arbitrary weak potential is sufficient to pin the atoms into the Mott state; here, we derive the corresponding phase diagram. The commensurate pinned state may be detected via its finite excitation gap and the Bragg peaks in the static structure factor.

description: Twenty species and six subspecies of the genera Arcobacter and Campylobacter have been described to date. All are Gram-negative, microaerophilic, curved, spiral or S-shaped cells, and are members of the order Campylobacterales, class Epsilonproteobacteria phylum Proteobacteria. Though most members are pathogenic, C. jejuni, C. coli and A. butzleri are the most frequently isolated species from patients suffering from gastrointestinal illness. The current methods for their detection, identification, and differentiation are cumbersome, time consuming and lack specificity. DNA based molecular techniques including real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Fingerprinting methods Terminal Restriction Fragments Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) and Ligase Detection Reaction (LDR) have been used in this project to develop rapid detection and identification methods for Campylobacter and Arcobacter species. Five real-time PCR methods were developed which include: (a) rapid detection and identification of Campylobacter species using real-time PCR adjacent hybridisation probes, (b) rapid identification of C. jejuni using SYBR Green I, (c) rapid detection and differentiation of Arcobacter species using adjacent hybridisation probes, (d) rapid detection and differentiation of Arcobacter species and the Campylobacter group (C. coli, C. jejuni, C. lari, C. hyoilei, C. helviticus, C. hyointestinalis, C. insulaenigrae, C lanienae) using melting temperature (Tm) of adjacent hybridisation probes, and (e) a one tube real-time PCR multiplex for the rapid detection and identification of Campylobacter species, C. coli and C. jejuni using a TaqMan Probe, in an iCycler iQTM (BioRad, USA) and Light CyclerTM (Idaho Technology, USA).

description: Human behaviour and performance are influenced by many factors. Alcohol consumption and dehydration are two factors that have individually been shown to have a detrimental impact on human behaviour and performance. Both of these factors have received significant scientific attention. Individuals may consume alcohol following a period of physical activity that causes fluid loss and results in dehydration. One could easily speculate that in combination, these factors may have a greater negative impact on performance and behaviour than in isolation. However, until now the combined effect of dehydration and alcohol consumption on human behaviour and performance has not been investigated. This thesis describes four main research studies in addition to four pilot investigations that were designed to examine the effects of dehydration and alcohol consumption on human behaviour and performance, specifically the cognitive skills related to driving a motor vehicle and driving-related risk taking behaviour. In Research Study One, the hydration status of industrial workers was monitored over two work days before exploring typical post-work behaviours, attitudes and perceptions relating to alcohol consumption. Results from this study indicated that approximately one-third of workers were inadequately hydrated either at the beginning or end of work shifts. With respect to alcohol consumption, most of the workers believed drinking alcohol after work was acceptable, and a lack of consideration for hydration levels was indicated prior to consuming alcohol. The findings from this study suggest that some individuals are likely to consume alcohol following a period of physical activity that causes dehydration.

Self-averaging in many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium: Chaotic systems

description: Despite its importance to experiments, numerical simulations, and the development of theoretical models, self-averaging in many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium remains underinvestigated. Usually, in the chaotic regime, self-averaging is taken for granted. The numerical and analytical results presented here force us to rethink these expectations. They demonstrate that self-averaging properties depend on the quantity and also on the time scale considered. We show analytically that the survival probability in chaotic systems is not self-averaging at any time scale, even when evolved under full random matrices. We also analyze the participation ratio, Rényi entropies, the spin autocorrelation function from experiments with cold atoms, and the connected spin-spin correlation function from experiments with ion traps. We find that self-averaging holds at short times for the quantities that are local in space, while at long times, self-averaging applies for quantities that are local in time. Various behaviors are revealed at intermediate time scales.
