description: We study the diffusion process through an ideal polymer network, using numerical methods. Polymers are modeled by random walks on the bonds of a two-dimensional square lattice. Molecules occupy the lattice cells and may jump to the nearest-neighbor cells, with probability determined by the occupation of the bond separating the two cells. Subjected to a concentration gradient across the system, a constant average current flows in the steady state. Its behavior appears to be a non-trivial function of polymer length, mass density and temperature, for which we offer qualitative explanations.

description: In the Sarvāmnāya tradition, practice is not about accumulating more knowledge but about deconditioning the mind—breaking free from habitual thought patterns to access deeper awareness. This path is built on three essential components:

🔹 Daily Study – Select texts that resonate both intellectually and intuitively, shaping your thought process rather than overwhelming it.
🔹 Complex Visualization – Train the mind to hold, dissolve, and reshape intricate mental images, sharpening focus and deepening perception.
🔹 Mantra & Positive Thought (Tarka) – Through repetition, mantras bring you closer to your heart, while positive reasoning cultivates a grounded and expansive state of being.

This is not passive learning—it's an active transformation of how we see, think, and experience reality.

Join the inquiry. Engage in the practice. Transform your mind.

description: We investigate a solvable model for energy conserving non-equilibrium steady states. The time-reversal asymmetry of the dynamics leads to the violation of detailed balance and to ergodicity breaking, as manifested by the presence of dynamically inaccessible states. Two such systems in contact do not reach the same effective temperature if standard definitions are used. However, we identify the effective temperature that controls energy flow. Although this operational temperature does reach a common value upon contact, the total entropy of the joint system can decrease.

description: Nitric Oxide (NO) provides myocardial oxygen demands of the heart during exercise and cardiac pacing and also prevents cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and platelet adhesion and aggregation. However, the direct in vivo measurement of NO in coronary arteries is still challenging. To address this matter, a mathematical model of dynamic changes of calcium and NO concentration in the coronary artery was developed for the first time. The model is able to simulate the effect of NO release in coronary arteries and its impact on the hemodynamics of the coronary arterial tree and also to investigate the vasodilation effects of arteries during cardiac pacing. For these purposes, flow rate, time-averaged wall shear stress, dilation percent, NO concentration, and Calcium (Ca2+) concentration within coronary arteries were obtained. In addition, the impact of hematocrit on the flow rate of the coronary artery …

description: Статья посвящена анализу проблем реформирования государственного управления в Российской империи. Потребность в реформировании системы управления последовательно возникала на каждом этапе перехода общества и государства на новый уровень политического, экономического развития. Целевая направленность реформ сводилась к оптимизации процесса управления огромной империей при сохранении незыблемости абсолютной монархии. Опору абсолютизма в сфере управления составлял разветвленный бюрократический аппарат. Важнейшей задачей реформ в сфере управления было обеспечение эффективного, грамотного, добросовестного функционирования государственных служащих. В данной статье на основе анализа практики реализации законодательства XVIII-XIX веков административными и полицейскими учреждениями российских губерний на примере Новгородской губернии выявляются общие закономерности и особенности процессов реформирования и их результативность.

description: We study the process of mass segregation through 2-body relaxation in galactic nuclei with a central massive black hole (MBH). This study has bearing on a variety of astrophysical questions, from the distribution of X-ray binaries at the Galactic centre, to tidal disruptions of main-sequence and giant stars, to inspirals of compact objects into the MBH, an important category of events for the future space borne gravitational wave interferometer LISA. In relatively small galactic nuclei, typical hosts of MBHs with masses in the range 1e4-1e7 Msun, the relaxation induces the formation of a steep density cusp around the MBH and strong mass segregation. Using a spherical stellar dynamical Monte-Carlo code, we simulate the long-term relaxational evolution of galactic nucleus models with a spectrum of stellar masses. Our focus is the concentration of stellar black holes to the immediate vicinity of the MBH. Special attention is given to models developed to match the conditions in the Milky Way nucleus.

description: До настоящего времени в юридической литературе в недостаточной мере изучено правовое положение прокурора в уголовном процессе по отечественному законодательству конца XVIII столетия. Устоявшееся мнение о том, что до судебной реформы 1864 г. российский прокурор представлял собой только лишь «формального надзирателя» за соблюдением законности во всех сферах, в том числе уголовно-правовой, нуждается в переосмыслении. Судебно-правовые реформы императрицы Екатерины II привели не только к выстраиванию прокурорской вертикали и развитию местной, губернской прокуратуры, но и ознаменовали собой кардинальное изменение роли прокурора и его новоявленных помощников – стряпчих в сфере уголовного преследования лиц, совершивших преступления. Впервые функция уголовного преследования выкристаллизовывается в качестве самостоятельной из функции прокуратуры по надзору за исполнением законов, и в правовой системе Российской империи возникает институт должностного обвинения, в котором чинам прокуратуры отводится роль уже не только блюстителей законности, но и «уголовных преследователей» преступлений.

description: This text analyses the papers accepted for the workshop "Reuse of designs: an interdisciplinary cognitive approach". Several dimensions and questions considered as important (by the authors and/or by us) are addressed: What about the "interdisciplinary cognitive" character of the approaches adopted by the authors? Is design indeed a domain where the use of CBR is particularly suitable? Are there important distinctions between CBR and other approaches? Which types of knowledge -other than cases- is being, or might be, used in CBR systems? With respect to cases: are there different "types" of case and different types of case use? which formats are adopted for their representation? do cases have "components"? how are cases organised in the case memory? Concerning their retrieval: which types of index are used? on which types of relation is retrieval based? how does one retrieve only a selected number of cases, i.e., how does one retrieve only the "best" cases? which processes and strategies are used, by the system and by its user? Finally, some important aspects of CBR system development are shortly discussed: should CBR systems be assistance or autonomous systems? how can case knowledge be "acquired"? what about the empirical evaluation of CBR systems? The conclusion points out some lacking points: not much attention is paid to the user, and few papers have indeed adopted an interdisciplinary cognitive approach.

Рассматривается структура особого порядка, перечисляются условия, при которых возможно проведение судебного разбирательства в сокращенной форме. Представлена статистика применения особого порядка судебного разбирательства. Выявляются актуальные проблемы, связанные с практикой применения особого порядка судебного разбирательства при согласии обвиняемого с предъявленным ему обвинением в отечественном уголовном судопроизводстве. Обращается внимание на то, что если общий порядок судебного разбирательства построен на основах состязательности и равноправия сторон, а также свободы оценки доказательств, то отдельные элементы процессуальной формы особого порядка судебного разбирательства при согласии обвиняемого с предъявленным обвинением вызывают множество дискуссионных вопросов в уголовно-процессуальной доктрине.

description: A set of all states of a bi-partite quantum system can be divided into subsets each of which contains states with the same degree of entanglement. In this paper we address a question whether local operations (without classical communication) affect the entanglement-induced state ordering. We show that arbitrary unilocal channel (i.e., a channel that acts on one sub-system of a bi-partite system only) might change the ordering for an arbitrary nontrivial measure of entanglement. A slightly weaker result holds for the maximally entangled states. In particular, the maximally entangled states might not remain the most entangled ones at the output of a unilocal noise channel.

A client evaluation of the personal support and development network

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: In recent years, there has been a trend in Canada towards a model of social assistance which is pro-active in getting people off social assistance and into the labour force. Despite the proliferation of supply-side focussed programs emphasizing training and employment-counselling, however, there has been little research and evaluation of workfare models in the Canadian context. The purpose of this study is to explore the primary and secondary effects, as perceived by the clients, of a three month employment-counselling program (PSDN) that serves long-term unemployed social assistance recipients in Edmonton, Alberta. The qualitative study utilizes a basic time series (A-B) design for exploratory-descriptive purposes. Four categories of participants in the PSDN program are identified: Reactive, Pro-active, Restricted and Reluctant. The findings suggest that policies and programs need to acknowledge the diversity and heterogeneity of problems being faced by the unemployed on social assistance. There are potential benefits in developing programs for the unemployed on social assistance which are flexible, positive, motivating, and supportive. Clients require different levels of interventions and services depending on their needs.

description: We use the first data release from the SINGG H-alpha survey of HI-selected galaxies to study the quantitative behavior of the diffuse, warm ionized medium (WIM) across the range of properties represented by these 109 galaxies. The mean fraction f_WIM of diffuse ionized gas in this sample is 0.59+/- 0.19, slightly higher than found in previous samples. Since lower surface-brightness galaxies tend to have higher f_WIM, we believe that most of this difference is due to selection effects favoring large, optically-bright, nearby galaxies with high star-formation rates. As found in previous studies, there is no appreciable correlation with Hubble type or total star-formation rate. However, we find that starburst galaxies, defined here by an H-alpha surface brightness > 2.5x 10^39 erg s^-1 kpc^-2 within the H-alpha half-light radius, do show much lower fractions of diffuse H-alpha emission. The cause apparently is not dominated by a lower fraction of field OB stars. However, it is qualitatively consistent with an expected escape of ionizing radiation above a threshold star-formation rate, predicted from our model in which the ISM is shredded by pressure-driven supernova feedback. The HI gas fractions in the starburst galaxies are also lower, suggesting that the starbursts are consuming and ionizing all the gas, and thus promoting regions of density-bounded ionization. If true, these effects imply that some amount of Lyman continuum radiation is escaping from most starburst galaxies, and that WIM properties and outflows from mechanical feedback are likely to be pressure-driven. However, in view of previous studies showing that the escape fraction of ionizing radiation is generally low, it is likely that other factors also drive the low fractions of diffuse ionized gas in starbursts.

description: We classify LambdaQCD/mb power corrections to nonleptonic B-> M1 M2 decays, where M1 and M2 are charmless non-isosinglet mesons. Using recent developments in soft-collinear effective theory, we prove that the leading contributions to annihilation amplitudes of O[alphas(mb) LambdaQCD/mb] are real. The leading annihilation amplitudes depend on twist-2 and twist-3 three parton distributions. A complex nonperturbative parameter from annihilation first appears at O[alphas^2(sqrt{Lambda mb}) LambdaQCD/mb]. ``Chirally enhanced'' contributions are also factorizable and real at lowest order. Thus, incalculable strong phases are suppressed in annihilation amplitudes, unless the alphas(sqrt{Lambda mb}) expansion breaks down. Modeling the distribution functions, we find that (11 +- 9)% and (15 +- 11)% of the absolute value of the measured B-> K- pi+ and B-> K- K0 penguin amplitudes come from annihilation. This is consistent with the expected size of power corrections.

description: We report on a calculation of the effects of supersymmetry on the cross-section for top-antitop production at LHC. A numerical study is carried out for the ten benchmarks of the Snowmass accord. It is found that the higher order effects involving supersymmetric particles in internal loops can be as high as 6%, both for the cross-section and the (parity even) helicity asymmetry, for one particular benchmark. For other benchmarks smaller but nonetheless observable corrections are found.

description: We consider the effect of electron-electron interaction on the electron transport through a finite length single-mode quantum wire with reflectionless contacts. The two-particle scattering events cannot alter the electric current and therefore we study the effect of three-particle collisions. Within the Boltzmann equation framework, we calculate corrections to the thermopower and conductance to the leading order in the interaction and in the length of wire $L$. We check explicitly that the three-particle collision rate is identically zero in the case of several integrable interaction potentials. In the general (non-integrable) case, we find a positive contribution to the thermopower to leading order in $L$. The processes giving rise to the correction involve electron states deep in the Fermi sea. Therefore the correction follows an activation law with the characteristic energy of the order of the Fermi energy for the electrons in the wire.

description: The goal of our study is to evaluate the effect on program comprehension of three factors that have not previously been studied in a single experiment. These factors are programmer expertise (expert vs. novice), programming task (documentation vs. reuse), and the development of understanding over time (phase 1 vs. phase 2). This study is carried out in the context of the mental model approach to comprehension based on van Dijk and Kintsch's model (1983). One key aspect of this model is the distinction between two kinds of representation the reader might construct from a text: 1) the textbase, which refers to what is said in the text and how it is said, and 2) the situation model, which represents the situation referred to by the text. We have evaluated the effect of the three factors mentioned above on the development of both the textbase (or program model) and the situation model in object-oriented program comprehension. We found a four-way interaction of expertise, phase, task and type of model. For the documentation group we found that experts and novices differ in the elaboration of their situation model but not their program model. There was no interaction of expertise with phase and type of model in the documentation group. For the reuse group, there was a three-way interaction between phase, expertise and type of model. For the novice reuse group, the effect of the phase was to increase the construction of the situation model but not the program model. With respect to the task, our results show that novices do not spontaneously construct a strong situation model but are able to do so if the task demands it.

description: It is generally considered as self evident that the lifetime of our vacuum in the landscape of string theory cannot be much shorter than the current age of the universe. Here I show why this lower limit is invalid. A certain type of ``parallel universes'' is a necessary consequence of the string-landscape dynamics and might well allow us to ``survive'' vacuum decay. As a consequence our stringy vacuum's lifetime is empirically unconstrained and could be very short. Based on this counter-intuitive insight I propose a novel type of laboratory experiment that searches for an apparent violation of the quantum-mechanical Born rule by gravitational effects on vacuum decay. If the lifetime of our vacuum should turn out to be shorter than 6 x 10^{-13} seconds such an experiment is sufficiently sensitive to determine its value with state-of-the-art equipment.

We use this relationship as a guiding principle to search real materials showing quantum spin Hall effect.

description: We demonstrate for the first time that the effect of fullerene shell upon photoionization of the "caged" atom in an endohedral can result in formation of Giant Endohedral Resonances or GER. This is illustrated by the concrete case of Xe@C60 photoionization cross-section that exhibits at 17 eV a powerful resonance with total oscillator strengths of about 25. The prominent modification of the 5p6 electron photoionization cross-section of Xe@C60 takes place due to strong fullerene shell polarization under the action of the incoming electromagnetic wave and oscillation of this cross-section due to the reflection of the photoelectron from Xe by the C60. These two factors transform the smoothly decreasing 5p6 cross-section of Xe into a rather complex curve with a powerful maximum for Xe@C60, with the oscillator strength being equal to 25! We present also the results for the dipole angular anisotropy parameter that is strongly affected by the reflection of the photoelectron waves but not modified by C60 polarization. The polarization of C60 is expressed via its total photoabsorption cross-section. The reflection of the photoelectron is taken into account in the frame of the so-called bubble potential that is a spherical delta-type potential.

description: We use observations of the CI, CII, HI, and H_2 column densities along lines of sight in the Galactic plane to determine the formation rate of H_2 on grains and to determine chemical reaction rates with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons. Photodissociation region models are used to find the best fit parameters to the observed columns. We find the H_2 formation rate on grains has a low rate (R ~ 1 x 10^(-17) cm^(3) s^(-1)) along lines of sight with low column density (A_V < 0.25) and low molecular fraction (f_(H_2) < 10^(-4)). At higher column densities (0.25 < A_V <2.13), we find a rate of R ~ 3.5x10^(-17) cm^(3) s^(-1). The lower rate at low column densities could be the result of grain processing by interstellar shocks which may deplete the grain surface area or process the sites of H +H formation, thereby inhibiting H_2 production. Alternatively, the formation rate may be normal, and the low molecular fraction may be the result of lines of sight which graze larger clouds. Such lines of sight would have a reduced H_2 self-shielding compared to the line-of-sight column. We find the reaction C^+ +PAH^- --> C + PAH^0 is best fit with a rate 2.4 x 10^(-7) Φ_PAH T_2^(-0.5) cm^(3) s^(-1) with T_2= T/100 K and the reaction C^+ + PAH^0 --> C + PAH^+ is best fit with a rate 8.8x 10^(-9)Φ_PAH cm^(3) s^(-1). In high column density gas we find Φ_PAH ~ 0.4. In low column density gas, Φ_PAH is less well constrained with Φ_PAH ~ 0.2 - 0.4.

description: Peer review meetings (PRMs) are formal meetings during which peers systematically analyze artifacts to improve their quality and report on non-conformities. This paper presents an approach based on protocol analysis for quantifying the influence of participant roles during PRMs. Three views are used to characterize the seven defined participant roles. The project view defines three roles supervisor, procedure expert and developer. The meeting view defines two roles: author and reviewer, and the task view defines the roles reflecting direct and indirect interest in the artifact under review. The analysis, based on log-linear modeling, shows that review activities have different patterns, depending on their focus: form or content. The influence of each role is analyzed with respect to this focus. Interpretation of the quantitative data leads to the suggestion that PRMs could be improved by creating three different types of reviews, each of which collects together specific roles: form review, cognitive synchronization review and content review.

description: We consider the possibility that the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters m_{1/2} and m_0 of the MSSM are universal at some scale M_{in} below the supersymmetric grand unification scale M_{GUT}, as might occur in scenarios where either the primordial supersymmetry-breaking mechanism or its communication to the observable sector involve a dynamical scale below M_{GUT}. We analyze the (m_{1/2}, m_0) planes of such sub-GUT CMSSM models, noting the dependences of phenomenological, experimental and cosmological constraints on M_{in}. In particular, we find that the coannihilation, focus-point and rapid-annihilation funnel regions of the GUT-scale CMSSM approach and merge when M_{in} \sim 10^{12} GeV. We discuss sparticle spectra and the possible sensitivity of LHC measurements to the value of M_{in}.

Bulk Viscosity driven clusterization of quark-gluon plasma and early freeze-out in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

description: We introduce a new scenario for heavy ion collisions that could solve the lingering problems associated with the so-called HBT puzzle. We postulate that the system starts expansion as the perfect quark-gluon fluid but close to freeze-out it splits into clusters, due to a sharp rise of bulk viscosity in the vicinity of the hadronization transition. We then argue that the characteristic cluster size is determined by the viscosity coefficient and the expansion rate. Typically it is much smaller and independent of the total system volume. These clusters maintain the pre-existing outward-going flow, as a spray of droplets, but develop no flow of their own, and hadronize by evaporation. We provide an ansatz for converting the hydrodynamic output into clusters.

An exploration of bereavement intervention in palliative/hospice care programming
Creators: name: Dawson, Patricia Shelagh Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Bereavement intervention is subsumed within palliative programme philosophy which encompasses the family as the unit of care and provides a continuum of care that extends beyond the death of a family member. There is no available research on the effect of post-bereavement intervention within palliative programming, and very limited research exists that evaluates the effect of intervention on bereavement outcome. This exploratory study endeavors to differentiate bereavement outcome between two populations having palliative/hospice program support but only one choosing to participate in bereavement follow-up. A mixed strategy of quantitative and grounded theory approaches provided an expanded analysis through which meaning structures and time/process parameters for grieving individuals were explored. The study extended from idiosyncratic data into the realm of larger systemic interactions. An important finding was that the amount of time for preparation for the death of a family member is crucial. Other mitigating factors influencing the grief outcome were social support, network viability, and age.

description: The Machian Universe, is usually described with Newtonian Physics, We give an alternative General Relativistic picture for Mach's Universe. As such, we show that, in the correct Machian limit, Schwarzschild's metric is coherent with Robertson-Walker's, on condition that there be a cosmological constant, or the Universe's rotation -- or both. It is now confirmed that the Universe is accelerating, so the former condition applies. The latter was also confirmed one more time with the recently discovered NASA space probes anomalies. From Kerr-Lense-Thirring solution, we find an inverse scale-factor dependent angular speed; we then, show that the cosmological "constant" may have Classically originated from a centrifugal acceleration field.

description: Необходимым условием функционирования рыночной экономики, составной частью любой хозяйственной системы, без которой не может существовать и развиваться экономика и общество в целом, является малый бизнес. Это неотъемлемый структурный сегмент рыночной среды. Однако, темпы роста данного сектора в России и его вклад в социально-экономическое развитие значительно ниже, чем в развитых странах. Многолетние усилия государства в данной сфере не смогли существенным образом повлиять на сложившуюся тенденцию. Между тем, наличие корреляции между уровнем развития малого предпринимательства в определенном регионе и темпами роста его экономики, благосостоянием населения подтверждается результатами многих научных исследований. При этом в регионах наблюдаются значительные отличия по ряду параметров, что влечет за собой определенные различия в степени и характере влияния малого предпринимательства на социально-экономическое развитие территорий. В статье проведена оценка вклада малых предприятий в социальное, экономическое и инвестиционное развитие субъектов Северо-Западного федерального округа Российской Федерации (далее – СЗФО). На основе анализа доступных статистических данных выделены регионы-лидеры и регионы-аутсайдеры по трем показателям: удельный вес численности занятых на малых предприятиях в общей численности занятых в экономике субъектов, удельный вес оборота малых предприятий в валовом региональном продукте субъектов и удельный вес инвестиций в основной капитал малых предприятий в общей сумме инвестиций субъектов.

description: Cardiovascular disease in particular acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is remained one of the most cause of morbidity and mortality, annually. Considering inflammatory pathway of atherosclerosis, colchicine as an anti-inflammatory drug is introduced to be effective in pathogenesis, prognosis and mortality rate of these patients. So in order to find out the effects of this drug we conducted this trial to know whether it reduces major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in ACS patients or not. In a prospective randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial, we enrolled ACS patients (40–70 years) with recent ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or NSTE-ACS diagnosed by coronary angiography and managed with either medical therapy or percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients were assigned to two groups either receiving colchicine 0.5 mg daily or placebo for 6 months. Both groups simultaneously received standard medical therapy as accessible guidelines. MACE occurrence consists of decompensated heart failure, ACS, stroke and survival rate compared between two groups. A total of 249 patients were recruited between October 2019-March 2020 with mean age of 56.89 ± 7.54, 69.5% males; 120 assigned to the colchicine group and 129 assigned to the placebo group. Over the 6 months’ period, 36 MACE occurred that were 8 events in the colchicine group compared with 28 events in the placebo group experiencing the event (P = 0.001). All of four deaths in the colchicine group and two in the placebo group were due to cardiovascular events. Evaluating adverse effects, gastrointestinal symptom was the most with the rate …

description: We investigate quantum transport in a normal/superconductor graphene heterostructure, including the possibility of an anisotropic pairing potential in the superconducting region. We find that under certain circumstances, the conductance displays an undamped, oscillatory behaviour as a function of applied bias voltage. Also, we investigate how the conductance spectra are affected by a d-wave pairing symmetry. These results combine unusual features of the electronic structure of graphene with the unconventional pairing symmetry found for instance in high-T_c superconductors.

Evocation and elaboration of solutions: Different types of problem-solving actions. An empirical study on the design of an aerospace artifact
Creators: name: Visser, Willemien
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Human-Computer Interaction (cs.HC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: An observational study was conducted on a professional designer working on a design project in aerospace industry. The protocol data were analyzed in order to gain insight into the actions the designer used for the development of a solution to the corresponding problem. Different processes are described: from the "simple" evocation of a solution existing in memory, to the elaboration of a "new" solution out of mnesic entities without any clear link to the current problem. Control is addressed in so far as it concerns the priority among the different types of development processes: the progression from evocation of a "standard" solution to elaboration of a "new" solution is supposed to correspond to the resulting order, that is, the one in which the designer's activity proceeds. Short discussions of * the double status of "problem" and "solution," * the problem/solution knowledge units in memory and their access, and * the different abstraction levels on which problem and solution representations are developed, are illustrated by the results.
