description: For complete complex connections on almost complex manifolds we introduce a natural definition of compactification. This is based on almost c--projective geometry, which is the almost complex analogue of projective differential geometry. The boundary at infinity is a (possibly non-integrable) CR structure. The theory applies to almost Hermitean manifolds which admit a complex metric connection of minimal torsion, which means that they are quasi--Kaehler in the sense of Gray--Hervella; in particular it applies to Kaehler and nearly Kaehler manifolds. Via this canonical connection, we obtain a notion of c-projective compactification for quasi--Kaehler metrics of any signature. We describe an asymptotic form for metrics that is necessary and sufficient for c--projective compactness. This metric form provides local examples and, in particular, shows that the usual complete Kaehler metrics associated to smoothly bounded, strictly pseudoconvex domains in C^n are c--projectively compact. For a smooth manifold with boundary and a complete quasi-Kaehler metric $g$ on the interior, we show that if its almost c--projective structure extends smoothly to the boundary then so does its scalar curvature. We prove that $g$ is almost c--projectively compact if and only if this scalar curvature is non-zero on an open dense set of the boundary, in which case it is, along the boundary, locally constant and hence nowhere zero there. Finally we describe the asymptotics of the curvature, showing, in particular, that the canonical connection satisfies an asymptotic Einstein condition. Key to much of the development is a certain real tractor calculus for almost c--projective geometry, and this is developed in the article.

description: The externalizing spectrum is characterized by disinhibition, impulsivity, antisocial-aggressive behavior as well as substance (mis)use. Studies in forensic samples and mentally impaired children suggested that higher rates of externalization are linked to lower cortisol stress responses and altered affect-related neural activation. In this fMRI-study, we investigated whether externalizing behavior in healthy participants is likewise associated with altered cortisol responses and neural activity to stress. Following a quasi-experimental approach, we tested healthy participants (N = 61, 31 males) from the higher versus lower range of the non-clinical variation in externalization (31 participants with high externalization) as assessed by the subscales disinhibition and meanness of the Triarchic-Psychopathy-Measure. All participants were exposed to ScanSTRESS, a standardized psychosocial stress paradigm for scanner environments. In both groups, ScanSTRESS induced a significant rise in cortisol levels with the high externalization group showing significantly lower cortisol responses to stress than the low externalization group. This was mainly driven by males. Further, individual increases in cortisol predicted neural response differences between externalization groups, indicating more activation in the dorsal striatum in low externalization. This was primarily driven by females. In contrast, post-hoc analysis showed that hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis hyporeactivity in males was associated with prefrontal and hippocampal activation. Our data substantiate that individuals from the general population high on externalization, show reduced cortisol stress responses. Furthermore, dorsal striatum activity as part of the mesolimbic system, known to be sensitive to environmental adversity, seems to play a role in externalization-specific cortisol stress responses. Beyond that, a modulating influence of gender was disclosed.

description: The nuclear fusion is a reaction to form a compound nucleus. It plays an important role in several circumstances in nuclear physics as well as in nuclear astrophysics, such as synthesis of superheavy elements and nucleosynthesis in stars. Here we discuss two recent theoretical developments in heavy-ion fusion reactions at energies around the Coulomb barrier. The first topic is a generalization of the Wong formula for fusion cross sections in a single-channel problem. By introducing an energy dependence to the barrier parameters, we show that the generalized formula leads to results practically indistinguishable from a full quantal calculation, even for light symmetric systems such as $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C, for which fusion cross sections show an oscillatory behavior. We then discuss a semi-microscopic modeling of heavy-ion fusion reactions, which combine the coupled-channels approach to the state-of-the-art nuclear structure calculations for low-lying collective motions. We apply this method to subbarrier fusion reactions of $^{58}$Ni+$^{58}$Ni and $^{40}$Ca+$^{58}$Ni systems, and discuss the role of anharmonicity of the low-lying vibrational motions.

description: BACKGROUND: In times of the COVID-19 pandemic, employees around the world may be practicing part-time telework at home. Little is known about the working conditions at home and its impact on the employee’s occupational health. OBJECTIVE: This systematic review examines the working conditions at employees’ homes, the work-related disorders associated with working from home, organizations’ perceptions of ergonomics at home and how they support their teleworkers. METHODS: A search of electronic databases (Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, Google Scholar, Open Grey, Pedro, PsychInfo, PubPsych, Scopus and Web of Science) was performed. Twelve studies were included in this review. RESULTS: The findings highlight the lack of ergonomic working conditions for home-based teleworkers. Furthermore, the results underline organizations’ lack of awareness regarding home-based policies, ergonomics programs and the health-related consequences associated with the absence of ergonomic support. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that home-based teleworkers have increased health risks. This assumption is substantiated by the fact that most of the included studies reported teleworkers who have experienced musculoskeletal issues. These results underline the necessity for implementing ergonomic design recommendations, especially for working at home. Further research is needed to understand the impact of ergonomics programs and workplace design for working at home.

description: Many employees have had to telework all year during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though working from home has many advantages, there are also some disadvantages worth to consider. Lack of privacy is a relevant factor when it comes to the development of severe musculoskelatal issues. This study investigated the link between perceived privacy in home office and musculoskeletal complaints (MSCs). Family–work conflict (FWC), work–family conflict (WFC), and relaxation were tested as potential mediators for the relationship between perceived privacy and MSCs. The present study’s questionnaire was filled out by 287 teleworking employees. Hypotheses were tested via multiple mediation analyses examining levels of perceived privacy in home office, and its relationship on MSCs. Furthermore, the underlying effect of FWC, WFC, and MSCs were tested with a structural equation model. As assumed, lack of privacy while working at home was linked to individuals more frequently experiencing MSCs. However, the structural equation model showed no significant mediation effect. Work design efforts must address privacy while employees perform telework at home to prevent MSCs.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Python is a versatile programming language that has found widespread use in data analysis boasting a broad range of specialized scientific libraries. HyperSpy is an open source python library dedicated to the interactive analysis of multi-dimensional datasets, in particular spectrum images (one or two-dimensional arrays of spectra), in an easy and reproducible fashion. HyperSpy facilitates the application of analytical procedures operating on individual spectra to a multi-dimensional dataset and gives easy access to tools that exploit the multi-dimensionality of the dataset. LumiSpy is an extension to HyperSpy specifically for luminescence spectroscopy data. It is aimed at helping with the analysis of luminescence spectroscopy data, in particular continuous as well as time-resolved catho-, and photoluminescence spectral imaging, but also electroluminescence, and Raman spectroscopy. Import from a range of scientific data formats, including the relevant metadata, is supported through the RosettaSciIO library. Through the integration with HyperSpy, LumiSpy is particularly well suited not only for the analysis of single spectra, but also for the treatment of spectral maps, which includes the fitting of complex models to the data. The poster will give an introduction to the HyperSpy and LumiSpy libraries and where the development is heading.

description: For vehicle sharing schemes, where drop-off positions are not fixed, we propose a pricing scheme, where the price depends in part on the distance between where a vehicle is being dropped off and where the closest shared vehicle is parked. Under certain restrictive assumptions, we show that this pricing leads to a socially optimal spread of the vehicles within a region.

description: We present some fragments of a teaching experiment realized in a first grade classroom, to sow the seeds for a mathematical definition of rectangles that includes squares. Within the paradigm of semiotic mediation, we studied the emergence of pivot signs, which were exploited by the teacher to pave the way towards an inclusive definition of rectangles and squares. This was done to favor overcoming children's spontaneous distinction of these figures into distinct categories, reinforced by everyday language. The experiment is an example of an approach towards the theoretical dimension of mathematics in early childhood.

description: We report Shanghai Tian Ma Radio Telescope detections of several long carbon-chain molecules at C and Ku band, including HC3N, HC5N, HC7N, HC9N, C3S, C6H and C8H toward the starless cloud Serpens South 1a. We detected some transitions (HC9N J=13-12 F=12-11 and F=14-13, H13CCCN J=2-1 F=1-0 and F=1-1, HC13CCN J=2-1 F=2-2, F=1-0 and F=1-1, HCC13CN J=2-1 F=1-0 and F=1-1) and resolved some hyperfine components (HC5N J=6-5 F=5-4, H13CCCN J=2-1 F=2-1) for the first time in the interstellar medium. The column densities of these carbon-chain molecules in a range of 10^{12}-10^{13} cm^{-2} are comparable to two carbon-chain molecule rich sources, TMC-1 and Lupus-1A. The abundance ratios are 1.00:(1.11\pm0.15):(1.47\pm0.18) for [H13CCCN]:[HC13CCN]:[HCC13CN]. This result implies that the 13C isotope is also concentrated in the carbon atom adjacent to the nitrogen atom in HC3N in Serpens south 1a, which is similar to TMC-1. The [HC3N]/[H13CCCN] ratio of 78\pm9, the [HC3N]/[HC13CCN] ratio of 70\pm8, and the [HC3N]/[HCC13CN] ratio of 53\pm4 are also comparable to those in TMC-1. In any case, Serpens South 1a proves a testing ground for understanding carbon-chain chemistry.

description: We have designed and built a modern versatile research-grade instrument for ultrasound pulse-echo probing of the elastic properties of a wide range of materials under laboratory conditions. The heart of the instrument lies in an AD8302 microchip: a gain and phase detector from Analog Devices, Inc. To construct the device, we have implemented a schematic that utilizes the homodyne principle for signal processing instead of the traditional superheterodyne approach. This design allows one to measure phase shifts with high precision and linearity over the entire range of $0-360^\circ$. The system is simple in construction and usage; it makes ultrasound measurements easily accessible to a broad range of researchers. It was tested by measuring the temperature dependence of the ultrasound speed and attenuation in a KTa$_{0.92}$Nb$_{0.08}$O$_{3}$ (KTN) single crystal at a frequency of $\sim$ 40 MHz. The tests were performed in the vicinity of the ferroelectric transitions where the large variations of the speed and attenuation demand a detector with outstanding characteristics. The described detector has a wide dynamic range and allows for measuring in a single run over the whole temperature range of the ferroelectric transitions, rather than just in limited intervals available previously. Moreover, due to the wide dynamic range of the gain measurements and high sensitivity this instrument was able to reveal previously unresolvable features associated with the development of the ferroelectric transitions of KTN crystals.

title: Alfred Jarry: an imagination in revolt
Creators: name: Fell, Jill
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: The prime concern of this thesis is to review the ground-breaking artistic and literary achievements of Alfred Jarry, (1873-1907) born in Laval (Mayenne) and best-known as originator of the Theatre of the Absurd through his play Ubu roi. The thesis follows his uncompromising personal campaign to break the artistic and literary moulds of the 1890’s and to introduce an aesthetic of challenge. Drawing from his novels and poetry and within the context of his expertise on marionettes, it links these to his theoretical pronouncements and highlights aspects of his aesthetic code and personal philosophy which have not so far been analysed. Parallel to his literary experiments, the thesis also tracks Jarry’s contribution to the visual arts and integrates an appreciation of his graphic work into the analysis of his artistic aims and satirical intentions. Part I of the thesis relates to movement and the fixing of movement. It contrasts the archaic ornamental outline, as an abstract representation of spiritual and emotional impulses, with the photograph and with modem attempts to measure, record and classify physical movements and emotional phenomena. Jarry’s personal philosophy emerges from this debate, identifying his literary effort as a sustained campaign which set poetic and imaginative interpretations of the physical world above fixed scientific or artistic methodologies. Part II follows his campaign into the practical arena of book design and art. An analysis of Jarry’s own artistic effort is balanced against his view of others’ art and his suspicion of art criticism. We shall see how he parodies traditional methods of describing art before offering his own novel alternatives. Taking marionettes and the dance as twin points of focus, Part III brings together the motifs and arguments of the previous chapters. The last two chapters return to the question of the moving body as a vehicle of expression: that is as both potential receptacle and transmitter of a spiritual element that Jarry believed was, to a great extent, determined by form. Jarry’s mission is shown to examine the very fundamentals of language: the communication of an idea or a feeling in concrete form. The final chapter demonstrates his habit of combining “high” intellectual rigour with “low” or vulgar source material. It also analyses the dilemma expressed throughout his work, namely the artistic need to give free rein to the imagination, projecting the writer into another world, combined with the artistic duty of communicating with an audience in this one.

description: In continuous-variable tomography, with finite data and limited computation resources, reconstruction of a quantum state of light is performed on a finite-dimensional subspace. No systematic method was ever developed to assign such a reconstruction subspace---only ad hoc methods that rely on hard-to-certify assumptions about the source and strategies. We provide a straightforward and numerically feasible procedure to uniquely determine the appropriate reconstruction subspace for any given unknown quantum state of light and measurement scheme. This procedure makes use of the celebrated statistical principle of maximum likelihood, along with other validation tools, to grow an appropriate seed subspace into the optimal reconstruction subspace, much like the nucleation of a seed into a crystal. Apart from using the available measurement data, no other spurious assumptions about the source or ad hoc strategies are invoked. As a result, there will no longer be reconstruction artifacts present in state reconstruction, which is a usual consequence of a bad choice of reconstruction subspace. The procedure can be understood as the maximum-likelihood reconstruction for quantum subspaces, which is an analog to, and fully compatible with that for quantum states.

description: Introduction: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) usually occurs in the second and third trimesters. The disease's etiology and diagnostic criteria are currently unknown. Based on a sequence window to obtain all theoretical fragment ions (SWATH) proteomic approach, this study sought to identify potential proteins in placental tissue that may be involved in the pathogenesis of ICP and adverse fetal pregnancy outcomes. Methods: The postpartum placental tissue of pregnant women with ICP were chosen as the case group (ICP group) (subdivided into mild ICP group (MICP group) and severe ICP group (SICP group)), and healthy pregnant women were chosen as the control group (CTR). The SWATH analysis combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was used to screen the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in ICP and CTR groups, and bioinformatics analysis was used to find out the biological process of these differential proteins. Results: Proteomic studies showed there were 126 DEPs from pregnant women with ICP and healthy pregnant women. Most of the identified proteins were functionally related to humoral immune response, cell response to lipopolysaccharide, antioxidant activity and heme metabolism. A subsequent examination of placentas from patients with mild and severe ICP revealed 48 proteins that were differentially expressed. Through death domain receptors and fibrinogen complexes, these DEPs primarily regulate extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathways, blood coagulation, and fibrin clot formation. Discussion: This preliminary study helps us to understand the changes in the placental proteome of ICP patients, and provides new insights into the pathophysiology of ICP.

The reduction of chromate and synthesis of chromium(III) complexes with nucleotides and amino acids at physiological conditions
Creators: name: Tian, Li
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The Cr(III) ion is thought to be responsible for forming DNA-Cr(III)-protein crosslinks in the living system, but Cr(III) has difficulty passing through the membrane of the cell. However, since the chromate ion penetrates the membrane much more easily, it is reasonable to study the reduction of chromate and the formation of Cr(III)-amino acid complexes within the living system. Since the reduction of chromate by small molecular weight reductants in vitro has been done and a number of the Cr(III)-amino acid complexes have been synthesized, we chose the most reasonable reductants to reduce the chromate in the presence of ligands (AMP, amino acids etc.) under physiological conditions and prepared a number of the Cr(III)-amino acid complexes. The spectra of the complexes, the ratio of the Cr(III) to amino acid in each complex and the extinction coefficients of the complexes were determined. Also, the relative abilities of the amino acids to coordinate Cr(III) were compared and the chelating groups which may be responsible for the crosslinks, and the possible structure of the complexes are suggested.

description: An all-Si photonic structure emulating the quantum-valley-Hall effect is proposed. We show that it acts as a photonic topological insulator (PTI), and that an interface between two such PTIs can support edge states that are free from scattering. The conservation of the valley degree of freedom enables efficient in- and out-coupling of light between the free space and the photonic structure. The topological protection of the edge waves can be utilized for designing arrays of resonant time- delay photonic cavities that do not suffer from reflections and cross-talk.

Invariants for links from classical and affine Yokonuma--Hecke algebras

description: We present a construction of invariants for links using an isomorphism theorem for affine Yokonuma--Hecke algebras. The isomorphism relates affine Yokonuma--Hecke algebras with usual affine Hecke algebras. We use it to construct a large class of Markov traces on affine Yokonuma--Hecke algebras, and in turn, to produce invariants for links in the solid torus. By restriction, this construction contains the construction of invariants for classical links from classical Yokonuma--Hecke algebras. In general, the obtained invariants form an infinite family of 3-variables polynomials. As a consequence of the construction via the isomorphism, we reduce the number of invariants to study, given the number of connected components of a link. In particular, if the link is a classical link with N components, we show that N invariants generate the whole family.

A study of the photostability of Padimate-O (2-ethylhexyl ester of p-dimethylamino-benzoic acid)
Creators: name: Jiang, Ping
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The photolytic reactions of p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid and Padimate-O have been investigated to provide a chemical background for the photosensitization of the sunscreen ingredients. The sunscreen ingredients p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid and Padimate-O, currently used as UV-B and UV-A absorbers, were photolyzed in cyclohexane for 140 hours each with a mercury vapor lamp (450 W). p-Dimethylaminobenzoic acid in cyclohexane does not yield any detectible products after irradiation. Irradiation of the Padimate-O in cyclohexane produced four major compounds.

description: We present a comprehensive review of the In-Medium Similarity Renormalization Group (IM-SRG), a novel ab inito method for nuclei. The IM-SRG employs a continuous unitary transformation of the many-body Hamiltonian to decouple the ground state from all excitations, thereby solving the many-body problem. Starting from a pedagogical introduction of the underlying concepts, the IM-SRG flow equations are developed for systems with and without explicit spherical symmetry. We study different IM-SRG generators that achieve the desired decoupling, and how they affect the details of the IM-SRG flow. Based on calculations of closed-shell nuclei, we assess possible truncations for closing the system of flow equations in practical applications, as well as choices of the reference state. We discuss the issue of center-of-mass factorization and demonstrate that the IM-SRG ground-state wave function exhibits an approximate decoupling of intrinsic and center-of-mass degrees of freedom, similar to Coupled Cluster (CC) wave functions. To put the IM-SRG in context with other many-body methods, in particular many-body perturbation theory and non-perturbative approaches like CC, a detailed perturbative analysis of the IM-SRG flow equations is carried out. We conclude with a discussion of ongoing developments, including IM-SRG calculations with three-nucleon forces, the multi-reference IM-SRG for open-shell nuclei, first non-perturbative derivations of shell- model interactions, and the consistent evolution of operators in the IM-SRG. We dedicate this review to the memory of Gerry Brown, one of the pioneers of many-body calculations of nuclei.

description: Reconfigurable photonic devices capable of routing the flow of light enable flexible integrated-optic circuits that are not hard-wired but can be externally controlled. Analogous to free-space spatial light modulators, we demonstrate all-optical wavefront shaping in integrated silicon-on-insulator photonic devices by modifying the spatial refractive index profile of the device employing ultraviolet pulsed laser excitation. Applying appropriate excitation patterns grants us full control over the optical transfer function of telecommunication-wavelength light travelling through the device, thus allowing us to redefine its functionalities. As a proof-of-concept, we experimentally demonstrate routing of light between the ports of a multimode interference power splitter with more than 97% total efficiency and negligible losses. Wavefront shaping in integrated photonic circuits provides a conceptually new approach toward achieving highly adaptable and field-programmable photonic circuits with applications in optical testing and data communication.

description: The reaction products of aryllithium compounds with 2-arylquinoline was restudied to expand the scope of the Gilman and Gainer synthesis of 2,2-phenyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline and 2-phenyl-2-p-tolyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline. In the study of the reaction, it was found that the reaction of 2-phenylquinoline with aryllithium actually produces several products as illustrated by modern separation techniques. We have shown that HPLC is a valid and improved approach for separating the several products not previously observed from this reaction. Thin Layer Chromatography has also shown the presence of the several products.
InterLied: Toolkit for Computational Music Analysis

Subjects: python, algorithmic musicology; music21; NLP; music patterns

description: InterLied is an interface, run by a set of algorithms for music score (primarily lieder) analysis. The project is musicologically motivated, thus it streams towards wider accessibility. It not only consists of the algorithms for music (pattern) analysis, but also provides the informative jupyter notebook and a case study that serves as a tutorial for less computationally experienced users. In order to make the codes more accessible, the project also allows the user to run the algorithms through the inter-face (GUI), a convenient format for users with little computational knowledge. The latter allows the user to apply the algorithms to their corpora without direct inter-action with the code. The algorithms’ primary focus is a “music pattern” – melodic, rhythmic, and textual (e.g., lyric), but they also explore metadata information. While music parameters, such as key, meters and other musical features are being studied with music21 Python library, the patterns and lyrics are analysed with meth-ods from computational linguistics, such as n-grams and word tokenization. Aside from thorough explanation of the benefits of the algorithms, this thesis also focuses on limitations of computationally applied methods, addresses their disadvantages and problematises the current issues of digital humanities. Both, advantages and disadvantages of applied computational approach are being explored through two case studies, demonstrated on 63 Slovenian 20th century lieder (“art” songs) by three composers - Marij Kogoj, Slavko Osterc and Lucijan Marija Škerjanc, first focusing on musical features alone, and second including lyrics and metadata information.
