description: Tissue cells are in a state of permanent mechanical tension that is maintained mainly by myosin II minifilaments, which are bipolar assemblies of tens of myosin II molecular motors contracting actin networks and bundles. Here we introduce a stochastic model for myosin II minifilaments as two small myosin II motor ensembles engaging in a stochastic tug-of-war. Each of the two ensembles is described by the parallel cluster model that allows us to use exact stochastic simulations and at the same time to keep important molecular details of the myosin II cross-bridge cycle. Our simulation and analytical results reveal a strong dependence of myosin II minifilament dynamics on environmental stiffness that is reminiscent of the cellular response to substrate stiffness. For small stiffness, minifilaments form transient crosslinks exerting short spikes of force with negligible mean. For large stiffness, minifilaments form near permanent crosslinks exerting a mean force which hardly depends on environmental elasticity. This functional switch arises because dissociation after the power stroke is suppressed by force (catch bonding) and because ensembles can no longer perform the power stroke at large forces. Symmetric myosin II minifilaments perform a random walk with an effective diffusion constant which decreases with increasing ensemble size, as demonstrated for rigid substrates with an analytical treatment.

Hadron-Hadron scattering (experiments)

description: Using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9fb^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector, seven decay modes of the $B_c^+$ meson into a $J/\psi$ or $\psi(2S)$ meson and three charged hadrons, kaons or pions, are studied. The decays $B_c^+\rightarrow ( \psi(2S) \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-)\pi^+ $, $B_c^+\rightarrow \psi(2S)\pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$, $B_c^+\rightarrow J/\psi K^+\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B_c^+\rightarrow K^+K^+K^-$ are observed for the first time, and evidence for the $B_c^+\rightarrow \psi(2S)K^+K^-\pi^+$ decay is found, where $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ mesons are reconstructed in their dimuon decay modes. The ratios of branching fractions between the different $B_c^+$ decays are reported as well as the fractions of the decays proceeding via intermediate resonances. The results largely support the factorisation approach used for a theoretical description of the studied decays.
Sharp knee phenomenon of primary cosmic ray energy spectrum

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Primary energy spectral models are tested in the energy range of 1-200 PeV using standardized extensive air shower responses from BASJE-MAS, Tibet, GAMMA and KASCADE scintillation shower arrays. Results point towards the two-component origin of observed cosmic ray energy spectra in the knee region (GAPS spectral model) consisting of a pulsar component superimposed upon rigidity-dependent power law diffuse galactic flux. The two-component energy spectral model accounts for both the sharp knee shower spectral phenomenon and observed irregularity of all-particle energy spectrum in the region of 50-100 PeV. Alternatively, tested multi-population primary energy spectra predicted by non-linear diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) models describe observed shower spectra in the knee region provided that the cutoff magnetic rigidities of accelerating particles are 6.0+/-0.3 PV and 45+/-2 PV for the first two populations respectively. Both tested spectral models confirm the predominant H-He primary nuclei origin of observed shower spectral knee. The parameters of tested energy spectra are evaluated using solutions of inverse problem on the basis of the corresponding parameterizations of energy spectra for primary H, He, O-like and Fe-like nuclei, standardized shower size spectral responses in the 550-1085 g/cm^2 atmospheric slant depth range and near vertical muon truncated size spectra detected by the GAMMA array.

Nonperturbative Effects
Conformal Field Theory
M-Theory

description: In this paper we derive Ward-Takahashi identities from the path integral of supersymmetric five-dimensional field theories with an $SU(1,3)$ spacetime symmetry in the presence of instantons. We explicitly show how $SU(1,3)$ is enhanced to $SU(1,3)\times U(1)$ where the additional $U(1)$ acts non-perturbatively. Solutions to such Ward-Takahashi identities were previously obtained from correlators of six-dimensional Lorentzian conformal field theories but where the instanton number was replaced by the momentum along a null direction. Here we study the reverse procedure whereby we construct correlation functions out of towers of five-dimensional operators which satisfy the Ward-Takahashi identities of a six-dimensional conformal field theory. This paves the way to computing observables in six dimensions using five-dimensional path integral techniques. We also argue that, once the instanton sector is included into the path integral, the coupling of the five-dimensional Lagrangian must be quantised, leaving no free continuous parameters.
Conceptualising the circular economy potential of construction and demolition waste: An integrative literature review
Creators: name: London, Kerry
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia

Subjects: Building science, technologies and systems

description: Traditionally, construction and demolition waste (CDW) materials have been considered to be unwanted, surplus, or wastage materials or materials with zero value. Such a conceptualisation only embraces a negative aspect, which underpins the disposal of reusable and recyclable CDW materials in landfills, thus damaging the circular economy and the environment. The scope of this research was to conceptualise the circular economy potential of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste, which can be used as a resource for advancing the circular economy and sustainability in the built environment. Thus, the abbreviation ‘CEPCDR’ is used for this purpose. The study employs an integrative literature review to understand in depth whether the rationale in the existing CDW definitions advocates for the circular economy. Instead, the literature showed that the current definitions mainly support quantitative, economic, or classification needs, respectively. That is because they lack consideration of the dynamic nature of CDW materials, which embraces the spatial and temporal dimensions. The former involves the geographic context in which the CDW phenomenon eventuates, while the latter concerns the lifecycle of materials. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by conceptualising the CEPCDR using a holistic approach that includes five dimensions: the social, economic, environmental, spatial, and temporal perspectives. Furthermore, the study seeks to drive future research in measuring the CEPCDR.

Black Holes
Classical Theories of Gravity

description: We study the interior of a recently constructed family of asymptotically flat, charged black holes that develop (charged) scalar hair as one increases their charge at fixed mass. Inside the horizon, these black holes resemble the interior of a holographic superconductor. There are analogs of the Josephson oscillations of the scalar field, and the final Kasner singularity depends very sensitively on the black hole parameters near the onset of the instability. In an Appendix, we give a general argument that Cauchy horizons cannot exist in a large class of stationary black holes with scalar hair.

description: In this article, we introduce the osrmtime command, which calculates the distance and travel time between two points using latitude and longitude information. The command uses the Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) and OpenStreetMap to find the optimal route by car, by bicycle, or on foot. The procedure is specially built for large georeferenced datasets. Because it is fast, the command uses the full computational capacity of a PC, allows the user to make unlimited requests, and is independent of the Internet and commercial online providers. Hence, there is no risk of the command becoming obsolete. Moreover, the results can be replicated at any time.

description: Each year the proportion of Australians who rent their home increases and, for the first time in generations, there are now as many renters as outright homeowners. Researchers and policy makers, however, know very little about housing conditions within Australia’s rental housing sector due to a lack of systematic, reliable data. In 2020, a collaboration of Australian universities commissioned a survey of tenant households to build a data infrastructure on the household and demographic characteristics, housing quality and conditions in the Australian rental sector. This data infrastructure was designed to be national (representative across all Australian States and Territories), and balanced across key population characteristics. The resultant Australian Rental Housing Conditions Dataset (ARHCD) is a publicly available data infrastructure for researchers and policy makers, providing a basis for national and international research.

description: Физическое развитие детей и подростков является важным показателем здоровья растущего организма и имеет выраженную социальную обусловленность, а стандарты физического развития – важнейшим элементом популяционного мониторинга детского населения. Индивидуальная и коллективная оценка физического развития детей и подростков предполагает наличие широкого комплекса стандартов или нормативов. Создание возрастно-половых стандартов и оценочных таблиц – важный и трудоемкий процесс, в основе которого лежит одномоментное обследование больших групп детей. С целью определения современных показателей физического развития детей методом случайной выборки в г. Астрахани были обследованы 2 983 школьника (из них 1 552 мальчика и 1 431 девочка) в возрасте от 7 до 17 лет. Проведена соматометрия (длина и масса тела), оценка индекса массы тела, рассчитаны средние арифметические величины (М) и ошибки средних величин (m). Результаты проведенного исследования обозначили региональные и возрастно-половые особенности динамики физического развития детей и подростков. В возрастном диапазоне от 7 до 17 лет изучаемые показатели физического развития увеличиваются, причем прирост этих показателей у мальчиков происходит больше, чем у девочек. Основной рост показателей физического развития у мальчиков происходит в 9, 11, 13, 14 лет, а у девочек в 9, 11, 13 лет. Девочки в 11, 13 лет опережают мальчиков данного возраста в приросте изучаемых показателей. От 7 к 16 годам и у мальчиков, и у девочек происходит увеличение индекса массы тела. Среднее значение индекса массы тела у мальчиков и у девочек равномерно возрастает в среднем с 17 до 20 кг/м2. Представленные соматометрические показатели могут быть использованы в качестве составляющей информационной базы для разработки стандартов физического развития детей и подростков г. Астрахани.

description: Halo masses and concentrations have been studied extensively, by means of N-body simulations as well as observationally, during the last decade. Nevertheless, the exact form of the mass-concentration relation is still widely debated. One of the most promising method to estimate masses and concentrations relies on gravitational lensing from massive halos. Here we investigate the impact of the mass-concentration relation on halo peak abundance in weak lensing shear maps relying on the aperture mass method for peak detections. After providing a prescription to take into account the concentration dispersion (always neglected in previous works) in peak number counts predictions, we assess their power to constrain the mass-concentration relation by means of Fisher matrix technique. We find that, when combined with different cosmological probes, peak statistics information from near-future weak lensing surveys provides an interesting and complementary alternative method to lessen the long standing controversy about the mass-concentration relation.

description: Eukaryotic RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is specialized in rRNA gene transcription synthesizing up to 60% of cellular RNA. High level rRNA production relies on efficient binding of initiation factors to the rRNA gene promoter and recruitment of Pol I complexes containing initiation factor Rrn3. Here, we determine the cryo-EM structure of the Pol I-Rrn3 complex at 7.5 angstrom resolution, and compare it with Rrn3-free monomeric and dimeric Pol I. We observe that Rrn3 contacts the Pol I A43/A14 stalk and subunits A190 and AC40, that association re-organizes the Rrn3 interaction interface, thereby preventing Pol I dimerization; and Rrn3-bound and monomeric Pol I differ from the dimeric enzyme in cleft opening, and localization of the A12.2 C-terminus in the active centre. Our findings thus support a dual role for Rrn3 in transcription initiation to stabilize a monomeric initiation competent Pol I and to drive pre-initiation complex formation.
Numerical evaluation of the fidelity error threshold for the surface code

description: We study how the resilience of the surface code is affected by the coupling to a non-Markovian environment at zero temperature. The qubits in the surface code experience an effective dynamics due to the coupling to the environment that induces correlations among them. The range of the effective induced qubit-qubit interaction depends on parameters related to the environment and the duration of the quantum error correction cycle. We show numerically that different interaction ranges set different intrinsic bounds on the fidelity of the code. These bounds are unrelated to the error thresholds based on stochastic error models. We introduce a definition of stabilizers based on logical operators that allows us to efficiently implement a Metropolis algorithm to determine upper bounds to the fidelity error threshold.

description: We show that a geodesic metric space which does not admit bilipschitz embeddings into Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikodým property does not necessarily contain a bilipschitz image of a thick family of geodesics. This is done by showing that any thick family of geodesics is not Markov convex, and comparing this result with results of Cheeger-Kleiner, Lee-Naor, and Li. The result contrasts with the earlier result of the author that any Banach space without the Radon-Nikodým property contains a bilipschitz image of a thick family of geodesics.

description: Ce mémoire traite de la construction de l’identité professionnelle des futur·e·s enseignant·e·s des degrés primaires au travers de l’écriture réflexive. Pour ce faire, il s’intéresse aux dossiers de formation réalisés par les étudiant·e·s dans le cadre du « séminaire d’intégration » à la Haute École Pédagogique (HEP) du canton de Vaud. Ce dossier de formation est envisagé comme un dispositif d’écriture réflexive réunissant plusieurs éléments significatifs du parcours des étudiant·e·s. Ainsi, par l’analyse de ces dossiers, cette recherche souhaite comprendre dans quelle mesure l’écriture réflexive participe à la construction de l’identité professionnelle des futur·e·s enseignant·e·s. Une recherche qualitative est menée sur la base de trois dossiers de formation. Les données sont traitées selon la méthode d’analyse catégorielle de contenu (L’Écuyer, 1990) et classées sur la base du modèle de la construction de l’identité professionnelle de l’enseignant·e (Gohier et al., 2001). Nos analyses montrent que les écrits réflexifs favorisent les moments de remise en question chez les étudiant·e·s concernant leurs représentations de soi et de la profession enseignante. Au travers de leurs écrits, ils·elles dévoilent non seulement leurs préconceptions et leurs prises de conscience par rapport à la profession, mais se questionnent également sur leurs valeurs personnelles et professionnelles. Ces dossiers relèvent ainsi une forme d’ « identification » au groupe enseignant·e·s et aux responsabilités qui lui incombent, mais aussi une forme d’ « identisation ».

description: A kinetic theory describing the motion of an impurity particle in a degenerate Tonks-Girardeau gas is presented. The theory is based on the one-dimensional Boltzmann equation. An iterative procedure for solving this equation is proposed, leading to the exact solution in number of special cases and to an approximate solution with the explicitly specified precision in a general case. Previously we have reported that the impurity reaches a non-thermal steady state, characterized by an impurity momentum $p_\infty$ depending on its initial momentum $p_0$. In the present paper the detailed derivation of $p_\infty(p_0)$ is provided. We also study the motion of an impurity under the action of a constant force $F$. It is demonstrated that if the impurity is heavier than the host particles, $m_i>m_h$, damped oscillations of the impurity momentum develop, while in the opposite case, $m_i

description: Combining Planck CMB temperature [1] and BICEP2 B-mode polarization data [2,3] we show qualitatively that, assuming inflationary consistency relation, the power-law form of the scalar primordial spectrum is ruled out at more than $3σ$ CL. This is an important finding, since the power-law form of the scalar primordial spectrum is one of the main assumptions of concordance model of cosmology and also a direct prediction of many inflationary scenarios. We show that a break or step in the form of the primordial scalar perturbation spectrum, similar to what we studied recently analyzing Planck data [4] can address both Planck and BICEP2 results simultaneously. Our findings also indicate that the data may require more flexibilities than what running of scalar spectral index can provide. Finally we show that an inflaton potential, originally appeared in [5] can generate both the step and the break model of scalar primordial spectrum in two different limits. The discussed potential is found to be favored by Planck data but marginally disfavored by BICEP2 results as it produces slightly lower amplitude of tensor primordial spectrum. Hence, if the tensor-to-scalar ratio ($r$) quoted by BICEP2 persists, it is of importance that we generate inflationary models with large $r$ and at the same time provide suppression in scalar primordial spectrum at large scales.

description: This study aims to uncover some key elements of successful home-learning of mathematics, based on students’ perceptions, during the COVID-19 pandemic and offer recommendations for mathematics learning beyond the crisis. Throughout our work, we aimed to examine students’ reflections on mathematics learning and learning environments that assisted their ease of transition from in-school face-to-face learning to home-schooling during the COVID-19 isolation. In this paper, we will present how mathematics learning has changed for upper secondary school students in Austria and outline students’ perspectives in relation to their new learning experiences during the period of school closures. Through the use of case study principles enhanced by some design-based research approaches, we were able to illustrate that (a) familiarity with the context, (b) problems or tasks as learning triggers, (c) mathematics learning as a social as well as individual process, and (d) perceived positive cost-benefit analysis of learning mathematics are key to students’ learning success. Although these categories were key for the students when learning mathematics in home-schooling during the current crisis, these categories could be equally considered when education moves back to school or in mixed learning environments post COVID-19.

description: This report is a part of deliverable “D.6.2. Report on migration and demographic patterns in the EU CEE countries and potential source countries” of the project FUME – Future Migration Scenarios for Europe (870649), financed with the Horizon 2020 programme. The work on this topic was done within Work Package 6 in Task 6.2: “Thematic study 2 – Migration in Central and Eastern European Countries – destination & origin region in the future - analysis of immigration and emigration patterns and integration of immigrants in EU CEE countries”.
 The report presents results of a pioneering survey on immigrants in EU CEE countries, using the Polish and Małopolska region as a case study. The survey was conducted in the period of October-December 2021. The final sample consists of almost 600 observations.
 Based on this data, we evaluate the socio-economic integration and adaptation processes of recent immigrants in Poland and investigate their future migration intentions and preparedness. The most striking finding is that most of immigrants declare to settle permanently in Poland. This especially applies to the Ukrainians who constitute a vast majority of immigrants in Poland and the Malopolska voivodeship.

description: Magnetars are neutron stars that host huge, complex magnetic fields which require supporting currents to flow along the closed field lines. This makes magnetar atmospheres different from those of passively cooling neutron stars because of the heat deposited by backflowing charges impinging on the star surface layers. This particle bombardment is expected to imprint the spectral and, even more, the polarisation properties of the emitted thermal radiation. We present solutions for the radiative transfer problem for bombarded plane-parallel atmospheres in the high magnetic field regime. The temperature profile is assumed a priori, and selected in such a way to reflect the varying rate of energy deposition in the slab (from the impinging currents and/or from the cooling crust). We find that thermal X-ray emission powered entirely by the energy released in the atmosphere by the magnetospheric back-bombardment is linearly polarised and X-mode dominated, but its polarisation degree is significantly reduced (down to $10-50\%$) when compared with that expected from a standard atmosphere heated only from the cooling crust below. By increasing the fraction of heat flowing in from the crust the polarisation degree of the emergent radiation increases, first at higher energies ($\sim 10$ keV) and then in the entire soft X-ray band. We use our models inside a ray-tracing code to derive the expected emission properties as measured by a distant observer and compare our results with recent IXPE observations of magnetar sources.

description: The use of herbomineral formulations in the healthcare sector has increased due to their high safety and better therapeutic action. A new proprietary herbomineral formulation was formulated with a mixture of the herbal root extract of ashwagandha and three minerals viz. zinc chloride, magnesium gluconate, and sodium selenate. The aim of the study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of Biofield Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) on the formulation when applied to splenocyte cells isolated from mice spleen. The formulation was divided into two parts; one was the control without any Biofield Energy Treatment, while the other part was defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received Biofield Energy Healing Treatment remotely by seven renowned Biofield Energy Healers. The test formulation was evaluated to find the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, MIP-1α, and IL-1β along with non-cytotoxic concentrations by MTT assay. The splenocytes were given the Biofield Energy Treated and untreated sample at concentrations range (0.00001053 to 10.53 µg/mL) for 48 hours and was reported with safe concentration up to 1.053 µg/mL with percentage viability range from 76.7% to 109.2% in both samples. Biofield Energy Healing significantly enhanced the cell viability as compared with the untreated formulation. The expression of TNF-α was significantly inhibited in the Biofield Treated formulation at 0.01053, 0.1053, and 1.053 µg/mL by 1.77%, 1.93%, and 3.55%, respectively compared with the untreated formulation. The rest of the tested concentrations of the Biofield Treated formulation showed an increase in TNF-α expression at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, and 0.001053 µg/mL by 7.26%, 8.50%, and 8.50%, respectively compared to the vehicle control group. Similarly, the MIP-1α expression was inhibited by the Biofield Energy Treated formulation and showed immunosuppression activity at 0.01053 µg/mL by 18.47% (p≤0.001) compared to the untreated formulation. MIP-1α expression was reported as 628.94 ± 13.0 pg/mL in the untreated formulation, while it decreased to 512.74 ± 1.9 pg/mL in the Biofield Treated formulation at 0.01053 µg/mL. In addition, the IL-1β secretion was also significantly inhibited by the Biofield Treated formulation at concentrations 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053, and 1.053 µg/mL by 72.02%, 50.16%, 30.68%, and 22.11%, respectively as compared with the untreated formulation. Overall, The Trivedi Effect® significantly down-regulated the pro-inflammatory cytokines and potentiated the immunosuppressive effect of the treated formulation, which can be better utilized in organ transplants, anti-aging, stress management, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory disorders, etc. to modulate the immune system by improving overall health.

description: Orbifolding two-dimensional quantum field theories by a symmetry group can involve a choice of discrete torsion. We apply the general formalism of `orbifolding defects' to study and elucidate discrete torsion for topological field theories. In the case of Landau-Ginzburg models only the bulk sector had been studied previously, and we re-derive all known results. We also introduce the notion of `projective matrix factorisations', show how they naturally describe boundary and defect sectors, and we further illustrate the efficiency of the defect-based approach by explicitly computing RR charges. Roughly half of our results are not restricted to Landau-Ginzburg models but hold more generally, for any topological field theory. In particular we prove that for a pivotal bicategory, any two objects of its orbifold completion that have the same base are orbifold equivalent. Equivalently, from any orbifold theory (including those based on nonabelian groups) the original unorbifolded theory can be obtained by orbifolding via the `quantum symmetry defect'.

description: Цель: изучить роль диагностической гистероскопии и лапароскопии в лечении различных форм бесплодия. Материалы и методы исследования. В проспективное исследование было включено 611 пациенток, которым в 2008–2018 гг. проводились диагностические гистероскопические и лапароскопические операции в г. Баку. Возраст женщин составлял 20–43 лет. В соответствии с показателями анамнеза, тестами функциональной диагностики репродуктивной системы, результатами гормонального обследования, гистеросальпингографии и ультразвукового исследования органов малого таза (при наличии заключения о фертильности мужа) пациенток раздели-ли по различным формам бесплодия: I группа – 312 (51,1 %) женщин с трубно-перитонеальным бесплодием; II группа – 154 (25,2 %) пациенток с впервые диагностированными различными формами эндометриоза; III группа – 145 (23,7 %) женщин с болезнью поликистозных яичников. Результаты исследования. Всем пациенткам были одновременно проведены гистероскопия с лапароскопией. Наиболее часто встречаемой патологией при гистероскопии стал хронический эндометрит, установленный по выраженным гистероскопическим критериям. Патологические изменения в маточных трубах составили в I группе 37,8 % от общего количества случаев, во II группе – 12,3 %, в III группе – 23,5 %. Из лечебно-диагностической лапароскопии, проводимой в исследуемых группах, выяснилось, что в I группе у 38,8 % женщин было трубно-перитонеальное бесплодие в виде хронического сальпингоофорита. Частота фолликулярных кист, выявленных в исследуемых группах, составила 2,6; 7,8 и 8,3 %, соответственно. Миома матки в I и II группах была зарегистрирована в 4,5 и 12,0 % случаях, соответственно. Заключение. Исследование показало, что у пациенток с нарушением репродуктивной функции несколь-ко факторов бесплодия проявляются совместно, их выявление возможно только при применении диагностической гистеро- и лапароскопии, а также современных визуальных диагностических методов.

description: Extension evaluation is a relatively young field of knowledge. Much of what we know today in program evaluation comes from the public education and health fields resulting in difficulties in adapting the methods to agricultural Extension. This article is based on long-term evaluation experiences of the authors that established a strong feedback system for two large grant-based programs in the Alabama Cooperative Extension System (ACES). Discussion on steps to evaluation strategy and electronic polling systems for data collection should appeal to new and experienced Extension educators. Several ideas for reporting are also included along with thoughts on improving response rates and capacity-building.

description: This Chapter outlines the basic properties of waves in solar partially ionized plasmas. It provides a summary of the main sets of equations, from the single-fluid formalism, to the multi-fluid one, giving examples for purely hydrogen, and for hydrogen-helium plasmas. It then discusses the solutions for waves under the single-fluid frame: the influence of the ambipolar diffusion, diamagnetic effect, and the Hall effect on the propagation, dissipation, and mode conversion of the magnetohydrodynamic waves. The Chapter continues by outlining the wave solutions in the multi-fluid formalism: the influence of the elastic inter-particle collisions into the propagation, damping and dissipation of different magnetohydrodynamic modes. Both parts discuss linear and non-linear wave solutions, and the effects of the gravitational stratification of the solar atmosphere.
