description: We investigate the non-minimal couplings between the electromagnetic fields and gravity through the natural logarithm of the curvature scalar. After we give the Lagrangian formulation of the non-minimally coupled theory, we derive field equations by a first order variational principle using the method of Lagrange multipliers. We look at static, spherically symmetric solutions that are asymptotically flat. We discuss the nature of horizons for some candidate black hole solutions according to various values of the parameters $R_0 $ and $a_1$.

description: The benefits of applying phosphogypsum to the soil are widely known. However, the effect of phosphogypsum on phosphate fertilization efficiency is still unclear. A long-term field experiment was performed on an Oxisol in Parana State, Brazil to evaluate the effects of triple superphosphate (TSP) and phosphogypsum application rates on nutrition and grain yield of soybean, wheat, and black oat under no-till. Applying TSP in the sowing furrow of soybean and wheat increased soybean yield by 14 to 24%, wheat yield by 57%, and black oat yield by 78%. Soybean yields varied in different cropping seasons in response to phosphogypsum application (with no response to increases of up to 15% in yield), while phosphogypsum increased wheat yield by 23% and black oat yield by 59%. The water balance during crop flowering possibly interfered on crop yield response to phosphogypsum. The use of phosphogypsum increased agronomic P-use efficiency by 20%, regardless of the TSP-P application rates. Changes in P-leaf concentration caused by TSP fertilization and phosphogypsum use had a positive impact on crop grain yield. Our results reveal that the continued use of phosphogypsum to alleviate subsoil acidity could increase the phosphate fertilization efficiency and improve crop yield performance under drought stress.
Stability and Convergence of the Sasaki-Ricci Flow

description: We introduce a holomorphic sheaf E on a Sasaki manifold and study two new notions of stability for E along the Sasaki-Ricci flow related to the `jumping up' of the number of global holomorphic sections of E at infinity. First, we show that if the Mabuchi K-energy is bounded below, the transverse Riemann tensor is bounded in C^{0} along the flow, and the C -infinity closure of the Sasaki structure under the diffeomorphism group does not contain a Sasaki structure with strictly more global holomorphic sections of E, then the Sasaki-Ricci flow converges exponentially fast to a Sasaki-Einstein metric. Secondly, we show that if the Futaki invariant vanishes, and the lowest positive eigenvalue of the d-bar Laplacian on global sections of E is bounded away from zero uniformly along the flow, then the Sasaki-Ricci flow converges exponentially fast to a Sasaki-Einstein metric.

description: We study the steady state of a phase-separated driven Ising lattice gas in three dimensions using computer simulations with Kawasaki dynamics. An external force field F(z) acts in the x direction parallel to the interface, creating a lateral order parameter current j^x(z) which varies with distance z from the interface. Above the roughening temperature, our data for `shear-like' linear variation of F(z) are in agreement with the picture wherein shear acts as effective confinement in this system, thus supressing the interfacial capillary-wave fluctuations. We find sharper magnetisation profiles and reduced interfacial width as compared to equilibrium. Pair correlations are more suppressed in the vorticity direction y than in the driving direction; the opposite holds for the structure factor. Lateral transport of capillary waves occurs for those forms of F(z) for which the current j^x(z) is an odd function of z, for example the shear-like drive, and a `step-like' driving field. For a V-shaped driving force no such motion occurs, but capillary waves are suppressed more strongly than for the shear-like drive. These findings are in agreement with our previous simulation studies in two dimensions. Near and below the (equilibrium) roughening temperature the effective-confinement picture ceases to work, but the lateral motion of the interface persists.

description: At zero temperature, two-site dynamical mean field theory is applied to the Dynamic Hubbard model. The Dynamic Hubbard model describes the orbital relaxation that occurs when two electrons occupy the same site, by using a two-level boson field at each site. At finite boson frequency, the appearance of a Mott gap is found to be enhanced even though it shows a metallic phase with the same bare on-site interaction $U$ in the conventional Hubbard model. The lack of electron-hole symmetry is highlighted through the quasi-particle weight and the single particle density of states at different fillings, which qualitatively differentiates the dynamic Hubbard model from other conventional Hubbard-like models.

description: The isotope coefficient $β$ of the magnetic penetration depth in the superconducting state is studied at T=0 for a $d$-CDW and a nodal metal model. Disregarding superconductivity the Fermi surface of the first model possesses arcs whereas the second model has no arcs. We show that a large increase of $β$ in the pseudogap region is generically incompatible with Fermi arcs in the pseudogap state. Thus only the second model shows a large increase of $β$ with decreasing doping. The required electron-phonon coupling is small and compatible with first-principles calculations based on the local density approximation (LDA).

description: Background

Alexithymia, characterized by difficulty identifying and describing emotions and an externally oriented thinking style, is a personality trait linked to various mental health issues. Despite its recognized importance, research on alexithymia in early childhood is sparse. This study addresses this gap by investigating alexithymia in preschool-aged children and its correlation with psychopathology, along with parental alexithymia.
Methods

Data were analyzed from 174 parents of preschoolers aged 3 to 6, including 27 children in an interdisciplinary intervention program, all of whom attended regular preschools. Parents filled out online questionnaires assessing their children’s alexithymia (Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire–Parent Report) and psychopathology (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire), as well as their own alexithymia (Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire) and emotion recognition (Reading Mind in the Eyes Test). Linear multivariable regressions were computed to predict child psychopathology based on both child and parental alexithymia.
Results

Preschool children’s alexithymia could be predicted by their parents’ alexithymia and parents’ emotion recognition skills. Internalizing symptomatology could be predicted by overall child alexithymia, whereas externalizing symptomatology was predicted by difficulties describing negative feelings only. Parental alexithymia was linked to both child alexithymia and psychopathology.
Conclusions

The findings provide first evidence of the importance of alexithymia as a possible risk factor in early childhood and contribute to understanding the presentation and role of alexithymia. This could inform future research aimed at investigating the causes, prevention, and intervention strategies for psychopathology in children.

description: Biochar, a carbon-rich solid produced from biomass pyrolysis, has attracted growing interest as a fertiliser ingredient due to its ability to non-permanently retain nutrients. A greenhouse pot experiment was set up to compare three commercial organo-mineral fertiliser formulations (NPK, NP and K) with the corresponding formulations containing a slow-pyrolysis wood biochar (NPK+B, NP+B and K+B) (6 replications each). Nutrient leaching as well as crop growth and nutrient uptake was monitored using barley as model species. Nutrient leaching was slowed down in the NPK+B compared to the NPK fertiliser. The most responsive ions were nitrate and potassium, whose leaching during the two first weeks was reduced by 28% and 22%, respectively, while this trend reversed from the third week on. One plausible explanation would be a microbial nutrient immobilisation mediated by the concurrent NPK and biochar habitat provision. NPK+B significantly enhanced barley straw biomass (23.43% increase respect to NPK), whereas all the biochar-based fertilisers showed increases in nutrient content and export (involving potassium, sulphur, calcium and manganese), possibly indicating that biochar acted as a nutrient source. These results provide some evidence of the potential use of the studied biochar in biochar-based fertilisers to meet nutrient availability with plant demands.

description: Ergonomics, which is an important part of design, extends across all aspects of human activity today. It constitutes a common field among the physical, cognitive, social, organizational and environmental factors. From this point of view, the relationship between emotion and design can be examined among cognitive issues for cognition is concerned with mental processes such as perception, memory and reasoning. These elements of cognitive science affect interactions among humans, between humans and products or environment.

When we overview the evolution of ergonomics in design, we can see that basic functionality was the most important issue of all in the beginning. Then usability became as another important factor. And gradually usability has turned out to be an ordinary element of design. Now the new challenge is that users who are get used to interact with usable products want to have more; not only usable tools that supply functional benefits, but also products that people can emotionally interact with. Not only designers think about the emotion factor, but also do the people who work in the marketing field. Marketing authorities are trying to make us perceive products with emotions as if they express ourselves politically, sexually, in terms of status and class because they are displays of our identities. Why do people want to purchase such kind of products? Do they really look for something extra? What is the trigger to make people think that they are in need of those products? First of all, someone needs to convince us that we must posses products with emotions because of our new needs. Being convinced to possess those products brings out the emergence of use-value which automatically refers to an exchange-value. Therefore companies seek new differences for their commodities to make the old ones seem out of date, in lack of use etc. The new trend for this situation is emotionally designed products- products that are not merely tools, but also emotional beings that people interact with. This appears to be the new dynamic of consumer culture.

Starting out from the above mentioned point of view, this paper aims to examine a historical perspective on emotion and design within a critical scope.

description: This is a collection of five short stories. Each story presents a character who needs to grow up. That makes five wayward children. In the opening story, a young man learns from a Foreign Exchange student that he must accept his role as a child in order to grow up. The next story presents an old Italian-American matron who has lost her beloved five-foot plaster saint. Through this loss, she learns to cope with the pain of her husband's death and open herself up to the community. The third story features a young military wife in Fort Hood, Texas, who must stop depending on her parents and face the harsh realities of love and war. The fourth story presents another young woman who lies in order to get her husband to abandon his quixotic mania in Paris, act like an adult, and return home. In the last story, an adolescent boy experiences the death of his grandmother, the visitation of her ghost, and the deadly despair of the rest of his family. The only way he can see to escape the stifling atmosphere of death and dysfunction and become his own man is through a bizarre masturbation ritual. These stories, each different from the other in subject matter and point of view, all explore issues of personal development and maturity.
Non-linear modelling of beat Cepheids: Resonant and non-resonant models

description: The phenomenon of double-periodic Cepheid pulsation is still poorly understood. Recently we rediscussed the problem of modelling the double-periodic pulsation with non-linear hydrocodes. We showed that the published non-resonant double-mode models are incorrect, because they exclude the negative buoyancy effects. Aims. We continue our efforts to verify whether the Kuhfuss one-equation convection model with negative buoyancy included can reproduce the double-periodic Cepheid pulsation. Methods. Using the direct time integration hydrocode, which implements the Kuhfuss convection model, we search for stable double-periodic Cepheid models. We search for models pulsating in both fundamental and first overtone modes (F+1O), as well as in the two lowest order overtones (1O+2O). In the latter case, we focus on reproducing double-overtone Cepheids of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Results. We have found full amplitude non-linear beat Cepheid models of both types, F+1O and 1O+2O. In the case of F+1O models, the beat pulsation is most likely caused by the three-mode resonance, 2omega_1=omega_0+omega_2, while in the double-overtone models the underlying mechanism (resonant or non-resonant) cannot be identified beyond doubt. Double-periodic models found in our survey exist, however, only in narrow period ranges and cannot explain the majority of the observed double-periodic objects. Conclusions. With only little doubt left, we conclude that current one dimensional one-equation convection models are incapable of reproducing the majority of the observed beat Cepheids. Among the shortcomings of current pulsation hydrocodes, the simple treatment of convection seems to be the most severe one. Growing evidence for the presence of non-radial modes in Cepheids suggests that the interaction between radial and non-radial modes should also be investigated.

description: We study the general structure of the AdS_5/CFT_4 correspondence in type IIB string theory from the perspective of generalized geometry. We begin by defining a notion of "generalized Sasakian geometry," which consists of a contact structure together with a differential system for three symplectic forms on the four-dimensional transverse space to the Reeb vector field. A generalized Sasakian manifold which satisfies an additional "Einstein" condition provides a general supersymmetric AdS_5 solution of type IIB supergravity with fluxes. We then show that the supergravity action restricted to a space of generalized Sasakian structures is simply the contact volume, and that its minimization determines the Reeb vector field for such a solution. We conjecture that this contact volume is equal to the inverse of the trial central charge whose maximization determines the R-symmetry of any four-dimensional N=1 superconformal field theory. This variational procedure allows us to compute the contact volumes for a predicted infinite family of solutions, and we find perfect agreement with the central charges and R-charges of BPS operators in the dual mass-deformed generalized conifold theories.

description: Marginal land exploitation devoted to versatile crops, such as giant reed, is related to the degree of land marginality. Two experiments were conducted in two sites of Sardinia (Italy) to investigate the effects of management on dry matter yield and water productivity (WP). Experiment 1 compared four crop evapotranspiration restoring treatments (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and a rainfed control) over 5 years. Experiment 2 lasted 7 years and investigated zero-input supply on crop response. Experiment 1, notwithstanding well-watered conditions (Irr100), showed a higher value of biomass production during the last year monitored, but yielding only 13.5 Mg DM ha−1 and with no significant difference from Irr75. Moreover, being equal the average dry matter yield, in the Irr100, we would save 3630 m3 of irrigation water by achieving the same WP recorded in the Irr25 (25% ETc restoring). Experiment 2, being equal rainfall amount, raised WP values that picked 8.2 kg m−3 during 2018. Results indicate that in less favourable soils as the Experiment 1, well-watered conditions do not ensure better crop growth and productivity, whereas in deep soils (Experiment 2) promising productive results, as well as ecosystem services, could be obtained without any input supply.
Tumefactive Multiple Sclerosis presenting as Acute Ischemic Stroke

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques appear as well-demarcated, homogenous small ovoid lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Atypical radiographic features of MS lesions include size greater than 2 cm, mass effect, and edema. Tumefactive MS lesions can radiographically mimic intra-cranial neoplasms, infarction, as well as infections. In atypical cases of tumefactive demyelinating lesions, brain biopsy may be required for the diagnosis.
Methods:
The authors describe the case of a 43 year old woman who presented with worsening right-gaze preference and left side weakness and was initially diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke. The patient underwent laboratory investigation and brain contrast-enhanced MRI before undergoing brain biopsy.
Results:
Fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI showed an increase in signal intensity in the right frontal lobe sub-cortical region. Diffusion-weighted imaging showed an area of restricted diffusion involving the white matter of the right-frontal lobe. Cerebrospinal fluid studies were normal except for the presence of oligo-clonal bands. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) demonstrated an elevated choline (Cho)/creatine ratio, increase lactate, and normal N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/creatine ratio, findings suggestive of an inflammatory or a demyelinating disease. A brain biopsy of the right frontal lesion was performed and revealed well-demarcated foci of demyelination with axonal preservation. Peri-vascular and parenchymal CD3(+) T-cells were also identified within the demyelinated foci, findings that further supported the diagnosis of active multiple sclerosis.
Conclusion:
Tumefactive MS can be radiographically misdiagnosed as one of several conditions, among which are infarction, infections, and tumors. Brain biopsy may be needed for diagnosing challenging cases of tumefactive MS.

description: We extend a model of community isolation in the d-dimensional lattice onto the case with an imposed imbalance between birth rates of competing communities. We give analytical and numerical evidences that in the asymmetric two-specie model there exists a well defined value of the asymmetry parameter when the emergence of the isolated (blocked) subgroups is the fastest, i.e. the characteristic time tc is minimal. This critical value of the parameter depends only on the lattice dimensionality and is independent from the system size. Similar phenomenon was observed in the multi-specie case with a geometric distribution of the birth rates. We also show that blocked subgroups in the multi-specie case are absent or very rare when either there is a strictly dominant specie that outnumbers the others or when there is a large diversity of species. The number of blocked species of different kinds decreases with the dimension of the multi-specie system.

description: Man has always tried to create better tools to satisfy his needs since the very first day he began to use tools. Changing needs were followed by changing tools, and developing technology brought about more advanced tools. Developments in production technologies resulted in important socio-economical and political changes. Besides their economical and political outcomes, Enlightenment and modernism created their most visible expressions in such disciplines as design, architecture and planning. The dominant approach of the period designed idealized products and spaces abstracted from tradition, culture and emotions. However, products constructed according to emotions and ‘ideal solution’ approaches of the designer could not relate with the users in the same way.

This period was criticized for ignoring both the culture of the users and the socio-psycological dimensions of products. Even studies on this were held. Especially cities and living spaces, regulations and social dimensions of physical structures were emphasized. The most important studies were on cognitive perceptions of living spaces, processes of image constitution, and determination of effective structural elements in perceptual knowledge.

Modern individual encounters many objects/products in h/er daily life. Some of them satisfy needs by an individual relationship with the user, while some others are a part of a greater totality such as street furnitures used in public space. Street furnitures, after being designed, take their place in the city to serve people in satisfying their cognitive needs besides functional ones. The main subject of this paper is how a product designed according to emotional approaches of a small group finds its place in the public, and what the role of these products are in the collective memory, in the city which is a unity of many meanings and images.

description: Aims: We study the Galactic large-scale synchrotron emission by generating a reliable all-sky spectral index map and temperature map at 45 MHz. Methods: We use our observations, the published all-sky map at 408 MHz, and a bibliographical compilation to produce a map corrected for zero-level offset and extragalactic contribution. Results: We present full sky maps of the Galactic emission at 45 MHz and the Galactic spectral index between 45 and 408 MHz with an angular resolution of 5\degs. The spectral index varies between 2.1 and 2.7, reaching values below 2.5 at low latitude because of thermal free-free absorption and its maximum in the zone next to the Northern Spur.

Urbanism in Jerusalem from the Iron Age to the Medieval Period at the Example of the DEI Excavations on Mount Zion
Creators: name: Zimni, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Bergische Universität Wuppertal
Year: 2023

description: Die Dissertation befasst sich mit dem Thema Urbanismus in Jerusalem von der Eisenzeit II bis ins Mittelalter. Dies geschieht beispielhaft anhand der archäologischen Ausgrabungen der Jahre 2015-2020 des Deutschen Evangelischen Instituts für Altertumswissenschaft des Heiligen Landes (DEI) auf dem Zionsberg. Die Ergebnisse der Ausgrabungen der Areale -III werden aufgearbeitet und anschließend in den weiteren Kontext der Stadtgeschichte Jerusalems eingeordnet. Im Fokus steht die Entwicklung der Stadtmauern sowie die der innerstädtischen Besiedlung auf dem südlichen Abhang des Zionsberges. Jede Epoche (Eisenzeit II, Hellenistische Epoche, die früh- und spätrömische Zeit, die byzantinische und frühislamische Periode bis ins Mittelalter) bringt eigene Fragestellungen mit sich, die archäologisch und historisch diskutiert werden. Die Arbeit geht hauptsächlich auf den Aspekt der histoire événementielle, die einzelnen Epochen und ihre historischen und archäologischen Fragestellungen fokussierend, ein. Da die Ausgrabungen des DEI eine weite Zeitspanne umfassen, wird die urbane Entwicklung des südlichen Abhangs des Zionsberges auch epochenübergreifend in der longue durée betrachtet.
description: The dissertation thesis deals with the topic of urbanism in Jerusalem from the Iron Age II to the Medieval period; Exemplified by the archaeological excavations of the years 2015-2020 of the German Protestant Institute of Archaeology (German: Deutsches Evangelisches Institut für Altertumswissenschaft des Heiligen Landes; DEI) on Mount Zion. The results of the excavations in areas I-III are analyzed and discussed, then placed into the wider context of Jerusalems urban history. The focus is on the development of the city walls and the inner-city settlement on the southern slope of Mount Zion. Each period (Iron Age II, the Hellenistic period, the early and late Roman period, the Byzantine and early Islamic periods up to the Middle Ages) raises its own research questions and debates, which are discussed archaeologically and historically in this work.The thesis mainly deals with the aspect of the histoire événementielle, focusing on the individual periods and their archaeological and historical research questions. But since the DEI excavations cover a wide time span, the urban development of the southern slope of Mount Zion is also considered in the longue durée.

description: In today's academic publishing model, especially in Computer Science, conferences commonly constitute the main platforms for releasing the latest peer-reviewed advancements in their respective fields. However, choosing a suitable academic venue for publishing one's research can represent a challenging task considering the plethora of available conferences, particularly for those at the start of their academic careers, or for those seeking to publish outside of their usual domain. In this paper, we propose GraphConfRec, a conference recommender system which combines SciGraph and graph neural networks, to infer suggestions based not only on title and abstract, but also on co-authorship and citation relationships. GraphConfRec achieves a recall@10 of up to 0.580 and a MAP of up to 0.336 with a graph attention network-based recommendation model. A user study with 25 subjects supports the positive results.

description: Writing stories about distressing experiences can be a step in navigating traumatic events. With favorable conditions emerging for the spillover of novel diseases, we aimed to 1) Gain insights into the “lived experiences” of individuals during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic; 2) Uncover gaps in care that individuals identified within their health care, community, and family settings; and 3) Understand the shared psychological well-being of individuals working within their health care settings. Following approval by a midwestern university institutional review board, a hermeneutic phenomenological framework guided the inquiry. Eighty-six stories came from 11 countries with 64% submitted by health care team members. We found: 1) Lived experiences evolved from a fluid and dynamic process by which personal knowledge emerged from the interaction between individuals’ internal responses to the pandemic, and their external behaviors that assisted with coping; 2) Gaps were found in communication of information between and within health care systems, communities and families impacting individuals’ psychologically safety and well-being; and 3) Spiritual fortitude supported individuals’ well-beinhg as they coped with adversities related to psychologically unsafe work milieus, inequities, and losses. Communal activities within hospital, family and/or community settings improved the well-being of individuals’ lived experiences. Our findings will inform hospital leadership, communities, and families of individuals’ lived experiences early in the pandemic. We provide recommendations that assist in the management of future health crises involving novel viruses.
Gamma-Ray Emission Concurrent with the Nova in the Symbiotic Binary V407 Cygni

description: Novae are thermonuclear explosions on a white dwarf surface fueled by mass accreted from a companion star. Current physical models posit that shocked expanding gas from the nova shell can produce X-ray emission but emission at higher energies has not been widely expected. Here, we report the Fermi Large Area Telescope detection of variable gamma-ray (0.1-10 GeV) emission from the recently-detected optical nova of the symbiotic star V407 Cygni. We propose that the material of the nova shell interacts with the dense ambient medium of the red giant primary, and that particles can be accelerated effectively to produce pi0 decay gamma-rays from proton-proton interactions. Emission involving inverse Compton scattering of the red giant radiation is also considered and is not ruled out.

description: We present a unified three-dimensional model of the convection zone and upper atmosphere of the Sun in spherical geometry. In this model, magnetic fields, generated by a helically forced dynamo in the convection zone, emerge without the assistance of magnetic buoyancy. We use an isothermal equation of state with gravity and density stratification. Recurrent plasmoid ejections, which rise through the outer atmosphere, is observed. In addition, the current helicity of the small--scale field is transported outwards and form large structures like magnetic clouds.
