description: We use multi-speckle diffusive wave spectroscopy (MSDWS) to probe the micron-scale dynamics of a granular pile submitted to discrete gentle taps. The typical time-scale between plastic events is found to increase dramatically with the number of applied taps. Furthermore, this microscopic dynamics weakly depends on the solid fraction of the sample. This process is strongly analogous to the aging phenomenon observed in thermal glassy systems. We propose a heuristic model where this slowing down mechanism is associated with a slow evolution of the distribution of the contact forces between particles. This model accounts for the main features of the observed dynamics.

description: Der Jüdische Friedhof Schopfloch befindet sich im Markt Schopfloch im Landkreis Ansbach etwa 4 km südlich von Feuchtwangen. Er wurde von 1612 bis 1937 belegt und weist etwas mehr als 1600 Grabsteine auf. In der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus wurde das Taharahaus durch Brandstiftung völlig zerstört und viele Gräber geschändet. In den Jahren 2018–2022 erfolgte im Rahmen des LEADER-Projekts »Jüdischer Friedhof Schopfloch, Dokumentation der Grabsteine und Datenbank« eine umfassende Untersuchung aller Grabsteine. Die Grabsteine wurden fotografisch erfasst, die Inschriften übersetzt, die Gesteinstypen und deren Schäden ermittelt, sowie die Daten abschließend in die Datenbank eingetragen. Für die Grabsteine wurde zwischen 1591 und 1859 fast ausschließlich der regional anstehende, mittel bis grobkörnige Blasensandstein verwendet. Zwischen 1859 und etwa 1917 kamen Lettenkeupersandstein und Schilfsandstein zum Einsatz, die aus einer Entfernung von bis zu 30 km nach Schopfloch gebracht wurden. Von 1859 bis etwa 1907 kamen Marmor und Roter Mainsandstein hinzu. Ab 1910 findet man Muschelkalk (Trochitenkalk), kristalline Gesteine und Kunststein. Vereinzelt ist Solnhofener Plattenkalk, Tertiärkalk und Holozäner Kalktuff anzutreffen. Von allen Gesteinstypen werden charakteristische Schadensbilder (Verwitterungsbilder) dokumentiert und diskutiert (Körniger Zerfall, Abbröckeln, Abschuppen, Abschalen). Im Bereich eines Quellaustritts auf den Lehrbergschichten ist basales Abscheren von Grabsteinen auf der Rutschfläche als spezifischer Schaden ausgebildet. Es wurden Vorschläge zur Restaurierung gegeben und bereits restaurierte, besonders wertvolle Grabsteine markiert.

Revised Calculation of $\bm κ_2(T)$ for s-wave Type-II Superconductors

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper presents revised calculations for the Maki parameters $κ_{1}$ and $κ_{2}$ and the pair potential $Δ({\bf r})$ of s-wave type-II superconductors near the upper critical field $H_{c2}$ with arbitrary impurity concentration. It is found that Eilenberger's well-known results on $κ_{2}$ [Phys. Rev. {\bf 153}, 584 (1967)] are not correct quantitatively, which are modified appropriately. Calculations are also performed for a two-dimensional system with an isotropic Fermi surface. The results in the clean limit differ substantially from those in three dimensions with an spherical Fermi surface. This fact indicates the necessity of considering detailed Fermi-surface structures for a quantitative understanding of the parameters. The coefficient of $Δ({\bf r})\propto(H_{c2}-B)^{1/2}$, which is basic to any theoretical evaluation of the thermodynamic and transport properties near $H_{c2}$, is obtained accurately.

description: Calculating how long a coupled multi-species reactive-diffusive transport process in a heterogeneous medium takes to effectively reach steady state is important in many applications. In this paper, we show how the time required for such processes to transition to within a small specified tolerance of steady state can be calculated accurately without having to solve the governing time-dependent model equations. Our approach is valid for general first-order reaction networks and an arbitrary number of species. Three numerical examples are presented to confirm the analysis and investigate the efficacy of the approach. A key finding is that for sequential reactions our approach works better provided the two smallest reaction rates are well separated. MATLAB code implementing the methodology and reproducing the results in the paper is made available.

description: A few years after the discovery of Bose Einstein condensation in several gases, it is interesting to look back at some properties of superfluid helium. After a short historical review, I comment shortly on boiling and evaporation, then on the role of rotons and vortices in the existence of a critical velocity in superfluid helium. I finally discuss the existence of a condensate in a liquid with strong interactions, and the pressure variation of its superfluid transition temperature.

Local Density of States in a d-wave Superconductor with Stripe-Like Modulations and a Strong Impurity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using an effective Hamiltonian with d-wave superconductivity (dSC) and competing antiferromagnetic (AF) interactions, we show that weak and one-dimensionally modulated dSC, spin density wave (SDW) and charge density wave (CDW) could coexist in the ground state configuration. With proper parameters, the SDW order exhibits a period of 8a, while for dSC and CDW orders the period is 4a. The local density of states (LDOS), which probing the behavior of quasiparticle excitations, is found to have the identical stripe-like structure as those in dSC and CDW orders. We point out that any energy dependent modulations should come from the scatterings of the quasiparticles from weak defects. The LDOS as a function of the bias voltage are showing two small bumps within the superconducting coherence peaks, a signature of presence of the stripes. When a strong impurity like Zn is placed in such a system, the LDOS at its nearest neighboring sites are suppressed at the zero bias by the local AF order and show a double-peak structure.
A WOE Worldview : One Métis Woman's Story
Creators: name: Jarvis, Sharon
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: This paper is an inquiry into “aha” moments I encountered while exploring my Métis ancestry and place. It seeks to alleviate trauma through expressive narrative and reveal ways for educators to teach Métis learners. This was accomplished by the revelation of the wâhkôhtowin worldview that emerged from my autobiographical exploration of my ancestry on Turtle Island (North America). Wâhkôhtowin is a Cree word for “all my relations” is the one I will use. This exploration is a form of praxis, an Indigenous story that I hope leads to action and educational change. To do this, I, an adult Métis from Northern Alberta, explored recent Métis scholarship and autobiographies of adult Métis from Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. I then told my own story, finding themes that give rise to a Métis worldview. The results showed that teaching and learning for the Métis must comprise a sense of belonging for “all my relations” as well as a self-determining (otipemisiwak), respectful (ekichinantak) learning environment for wâhkôhtowin. I conclude with some implications for further study and for education.

The track-fitting toolkit GENFIT and the vertex reconstruction toolkit RAVE are applied to a box-type detector system. A pattern recognition algorithm which performs helix track finding and handles overlapping pulses is described. The performance of the software is investigated using experimental data obtained at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Facility (RIBF) at RIKEN. This work focuses on data from $^{132}$Sn + $^{124}$Sn collision events with beam energy of 270 AMeV. Particle identification is established using $\left$ and magnetic rigidity, with pions, hydrogen isotopes, and helium isotopes.

description: Different models of self-excited oscillators which are four-dimensional extensions of the van der Pol system are reported. Their symmetries are analyzed. Three of them were introduced to model the release of vortices behind circular cylinders with a possible transition from a symmetric to an antisymmetric Benard-von Karman vortex street. The fourth reported self-excited oscillator is a new model which implements the breaking of the inversion symmetry. It presents the phenomenon of second harmonic generation in a natural way. The parallelism with second harmonic generation in nonlinear optics is discussed. There is also a small region in the parameter space where the dynamics of this system is quasiperiodic or chaotic.

description: We report on an experimental study of the effects of relative humidity and temperature on the transport of water vapor and CO² through a series of standard polymeric materials to determine their potential for use as membrane media in energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). Results are reported for four polymers of two major types (glassy and rubbery). The selectivity of water vapor over CO² is also evaluated from permeation experiments. Permeability results show that rubbery membrane samples, with glass transition temperatures well below the temperature range of experiments (30°C to 50°C), have a higher water vapor permeability and a much higher CO² permeability compared to glassy membrane samples. This is hypothesized to be mainly due to the higher diffusivity of water vapor and CO² in rubbery polymers with higher chain flexibility leading to a much lower selectivity for rubbery membrane samples. In all polymer samples, water vapor permeability increases with relative humidity (up to an order of magnitude) and decreases with temperature. This is attributed to the negative enthalpy of water vapor sorption dominating its activation energy of permeation, which is associated with a lower solubility at higher temperatures. In contrast, CO² permeability increases with temperature because of the positive activation energy of CO² permeation. CO² permeability decreases slightly with increasing relative humidity (up to 30%), which is hypothesized to be due to the competitive sorption between water vapor and CO² at higher humidity levels. Therefore, the selectivity of membrane samples for water vapor over CO² decreases with temperature and increases with relative humidity, and these trends are dominated by water vapor permeability variations. In general, the permeability results reported here suggest that ERV exchangers using polymer membranes can achieve high latent effectiveness (i.e. very high water vapor permeability) over a wide range of operating temperature and relative humidity while maintaining very low CO² permeability and crossover rates (<1%)

description: Background: As e-cigarette use rises among U.S. adolescents, the need to understand its risk factors becomes increasingly urgent. If the risk profile of adolescents who exclusively use e-cigarettes differs from those who use traditional tobacco products and dual users, prevention and intervention efforts would need to target such differences. Methods: In a sample of 708 adolescents, this study compared individual, peer, and family risk factors that are classically associated with greater substance use between exclusive e-cigarette users and traditional tobacco product users. Results: Exclusive e-cigarette users and traditional tobacco product users share many risk factors when compared to non-users. Additional analyses compared exclusive e-cigarette users to exclusive traditional tobacco users and dual users, with some differences emerging. Lower friend (OR = 0.28, 99% CI [0.12, 0.67]) and peer e-cigarette use (OR = 0.26, 99% CI [0.13, 0.52]), and greater friend cigarette smoking (OR = 2.17, 99% CI [1.23, 3.83]) predicted higher odds of being an exclusive traditional tobacco user compared to an exclusive e-cigarette user. Lower SES (OR = 0.67, 99% CI [0.51, 0.90]), and greater friend (OR = 2.68, 99% CI [1.56, 4.59]) and peer cigarette smoking (OR = 1.91, 99% CI [1.17, 3.13]) predicted greater odds of being a dual user compared to an exclusive e-cigarette user. Conclusion: Although some differences exist between exclusive e-cigarette users and traditional tobacco users, their risk profiles are generally the same. Prevention and intervention efforts that target traditional tobacco product could guide efforts to target e-cigarette use and dual use.

description: Background: Globally, there is growing concern regarding workers’ illicit drug use and its implications for health and workplace safety. Young workers in male-dominated industries, such as construction, may be more susceptible to illicit drug use, risky drinking and its associated harms. Purpose/objectives: To investigate drug use and perceptions of risk among male construction workers, drawing comparisons between workers under 25 years with older age groups. Methods: Workers in Sydney, Australia (N = 511) completed a survey measuring past year illicit drug and alcohol use, psychological distress and perceptions of drug-related risks to health and safety. Prevalence in the total sample was compared with national estimates, and differences between younger and older survey respondents were examined using logistic regression models. Results: Survey respondents’ cocaine, meth/amphetamine and cannabis use was significantly higher than estimates of male employees nationally (OR = 6.60, 3.58, 1.61, respectively). Young workers ≤24 were more likely to frequently use illicit drugs, drink heavily, and report psychological distress than those aged 35+. Workers ≤24 were least likely to perceive that drug use posed high risks to health or safety when compared with 25-34 and 35+ age groups. Conclusions/importance: The findings highlight the high prevalence of illicit drug use amongst young construction workers, representing threats to workplace safety even if used outside work hours. Greater emphasis on potential adverse effects of alcohol and drug use and closer examination of contributory workplace factors are required. These findings have practical implications to inform occupational health and safety programs and interventions in high-risk workplaces.

description: Rearranging the six-dimensional phase space of particles in plasma can release energy. The rearrangement may happen through the application of electric and magnetic fields, subject to various constraints. The maximum energy that can be released through a rearrangement of a distribution of particles can be called its available or free energy. Rearrangement subject to phase space volume conservation leads to the classic Gardner free energy. Less free energy is available when constraints are applied, such as respecting conserved quantities. Also, less energy is available if particles can only be diffused in phase-space from regions of high phase-space density to regions of lower phase-space density. The least amount of free energy is available if particles can only be diffused in phase space, while conserved quantities still need to be respected.

description: Zero-field muon-spin-relaxation (muSR) and magnetic-susceptibility measurements have been carried out in La_2-x_Sr_x_Cu_1-y_Zn_y_O_4_ with x = 0.10, 0.115 and 0.13 changing the Zn-concentration y finely up to 0.10, with the aim to clarify effects of the nonmagnetic impurity Zn on the Cu-spin dynamics and superconductivity. The muSR measurements have revealed that, in each x, a magnetic order of Cu spins is observed at y ~ 0.0075, while it disappears and Cu spins turn into a fast fluctuating state for y > 0.03. From the magnetic-susceptibility measurements, on the other hand, it has been found that the volume fraction of the superconducting state rapidly decreases through the slight doping of Zn and that its y dependence corresponds to the y dependence of the volume fraction of the fast fluctuating region of Cu spins estimated from the muSR results. Both the rapid decrease of the volume fraction of the superconducting state and the formation of the magnetic order through the slight doping of Zn can be interpreted in terms of the development of the so-called "Swiss cheese" model. That is, it is concluded that Cu spins in a non-superconducting region around Zn exhibit slowing-down of the fluctuations or form an incoherent or coherent static magnetic order. Moreover, the formation of a non-superconducting region around Zn is considered to be due to the pinning of the dynamical spin correlation or dynamical stripe correlations.

description: We identify the scaling region of a width O(n^{-1}) in the vicinity of the accumulation points $t=\pm 1$ of the real roots of a random Kac-like polynomial of large degree n. We argue that the density of the real roots in this region tends to a universal form shared by all polynomials with independent, identically distributed coefficients c_i, as long as the second moment σ=E(c_i^2) is finite. In particular, we reveal a gradual (in contrast to the previously reported abrupt) and quite nontrivial suppression of the number of real roots for coefficients with a nonzero mean value μ_n = E(c_i) scaled as μ_n\sim n^{-1/2}.

description: Για να μπορέσει το παρόν εκπαιδευτικό σύστημα να ανταποκριθεί στις επίμονες ανάγκες της επερχόμενης οικολογικής και κοινωνικής κρίσης, θα πρέπει καταρχήν να δοθεί έμφαση στην εκπαίδευση αξιών, και στην Περιβαλλοντική Εκπαίδευση ως την πιο κατάλληλη προσέγγιση όσον αφορά στην εκπαίδευση σε οικοκεντρικές αξίες. Η παρούσα εργασία επιχειρεί να ερευνήσει οικοκεντρικές αξίες εκπαιδευτικών στην Ελλάδα, όπως αυτές ορίζονται από τις αρχές της Βαθιάς Οικολογίας, και τη σχέση τους με την εφαρμογή ΠΕ προγραμμάτων. Στη συνέχεια, βάσει των ευρημάτων, επιχειρεί μια πρόταση βιωματικής μάθησης εκπαιδευτικών που στοχεύει να ενισχύσει ή να εμπνεύσει σε οικοκεντρικές θεωρήσεις, προάγοντας έτσι αυτό που ο David Orr όρισε ως οικολογικό γραμματισμό, με την παραδοχή ότι ο εκπαιδευτικός μπορεί να μεταδώσει μόνο ό,τι ο ίδιος έχει βιώσει και έχει εσωτερικεύσει. Η παιδαγωγική πρόταση βασίζεται στις αρχές εμψύχωσης NDI και περιλαμβάνει εργαλεία ολιστικής μάθησης - που απευθύνονται στο σύνολο του ανθρώπου (σώμα, νους, πνεύμα, συναίσθημα). Η φύση αξιοποιείται ως Συν-Διδάσκουσα, σύμφωνα με το πρόταγμα των ‘άγριων παιδαγωγικών’. Τέλος, προτείνονται πρακτικές Βαθιάς Σύνδεσης με τη Φύση, από τη σχολή του Jon Young και εμπνευσμένες από γηγενείς παραδόσεις λαών
description: In order for the current educational system to be able to respond to the pressing demands of the upcoming ecological and social crisis, it is essential to place emphasis on moral education, and on Environmental Education(EE) as the most appropriate approach regarding education on ecocentric values. The present thesis aims to research ecocentric values - as stipulated by the principles of Deep Ecology - among educators in Greece, as well as their position in EE projects implementation. Based on the findings, an experiential learning training programme for educators is proposed, aiming at enhancing or inspiring ecocentric views, promoting thus ecological literacy – as defined by David Orr – considering that an educator can only transmit what they have themselves experienced and have internalized. The proposed training programme is based on NDI group facilitation principles and incorporates holistic learning tools – i.e. that address the person as a whole (body, mind, spirit, emotion). Nature is viewed as Co-Teacher, according to the ‘wild pedagogies’ requisites. Finally, Deep Nature Connection practices are proposed, taken from Jon Young’s mentoring school and inspired by indigenous cultures.

description: Το αστικό τοπίο εξελίσσεται συνεχώς και οι μεταβολές του εξαρτώνται από ένα πλήθος παραγόντων που αφορούν το περιβαλλοντικό, το κοινωνικό, το πολιτισμικό και ιστορικό πεδίο. Οι αλλαγές αυτές επηρεάζουν την δράση των ανθρώπων στην περιοχή, καθορίζουν τις χρήσεις γης και διαμορφώνουν την ιστορία του τόπου. Μεταξύ του ανθρώπου και του περιβάλλοντος αναπτύσσεται μια αμφίδρομη σχέση αλληλεπίδρασης που έχει σαν τελικό αποτέλεσμα την διαμόρφωση της όψης του αστικού τοπίου. Η διπλωματική εργασία εστιάζει στην περίπτωση της Θεσσαλονίκης, όπου οι πολίτες συνέβαλαν ενεργά στη διαμόρφωση της προκειμένου να καλύψουν τις κοινωνικοοικονομικές του ανάγκες και να εξασφαλίσουν τις βέλτιστες συνθήκες διαβίωσης. Στην αντίπερα όχθη, το τοπίο εξαιτίας των ιδιαίτερων μορφολογικών χαρακτηριστικών που προσδιορίζουν την μοναδικότητα του, καθόρισε σε ένα μεγάλο βαθμό την πορεία εξέλιξης της ανθρώπινης δραστηριότητας. Το αποτέλεσμα αυτής της σχέσης συνθέτει το τοπίο της Θεσσαλονίκης του σήμερα. Ταυτόχρονα, δύναται να αποτελέσει ένα ισχυρό εκπαιδευτικό εργαλείο διαμόρφωσης στάσεων και προσδιορισμού αξιών για το μέλλον
description: The urban landscape is constantly evolving and its changes depend on several factors related to the environmental, social, cultural, and historical field. These changes affect the action of the people in the area, determine the land uses, and shape the history of the place. A bidirectional interaction relationship develops between man and the environment, which has as a final result the shaping of the urban landscape. The dissertation focuses on the case of Thessaloniki, where citizens actively contributed to its formation to meet its socio-economic needs and ensure optimal living conditions. On the opposite bank, the landscape, due to the special morphological characteristics that determine its uniqueness, largely determined the evolution of human activity. The result of this relationship composes the landscape of today's Thessaloniki. At the same time, it can be a powerful educational tool for shaping attitudes and defining values for the future
Low frequency random telegraphic noise (RTN) and 1/f noise in the rare-earth manganite Pr$_{0.63}$Ca$_{0.37}$MnO$_3$ near the charge-ordering transition

description: We have studied low frequency resistance fluctuations (noise) in a single crystal of the rare earth perovskite manganite Pr$_{0.63}$Ca$_{0.37}$MnO$_3$ which shows a charge ordering transition at a temperature $T_{CO}$ ~ 245K. The noise measurements were made using an ac bias with and without a dc bias current imposed on it. We find that the spectral power $S_V(f)$ contains two components - one broad band 1/f part that exists for all frequency and temperature ranges and a single frequency Lorentzian of frequency $f_c$ which is strongly temperature dependent. The Lorentzian in $S_V(f)$ which appears due to Random telegraphic noise (RTN) as seen in the time series of the fluctuation, is seen in a very narrow temperature window around $T_{CO}$ where it makes the dominating contribution to the fluctuation. When the applied dc bias is increased beyond a certain threshold current density $J_{th}$, the electrical conduction becomes non-linear and one sees appearance of a significant Lorentzian contribution in the spectral power due to RTN. We explain the appearance of the RTN as due to coexisting Charge ordered (CO) and reverse orbitally ordered (ROO) phases which are in dynamical equilibrium over a mesoscopic length scale ($\approx 30nm$) and the kinetics being controlled by an activation barrier $E_{a} ~ 0.45eV. The 1/f noise is low for $T>>T_{CO}$ but increases by nearly two orders in a narrow temperature range as $T_{CO}$ is approached from above and the probability distribution function (PDF) deviates strongly from a Gaussian. We explain this behavior as due to approach of charge localization with correlated fluctuators which make the PDF non-Gaussian.

description: Location and message content make Nigeria’s media urban-centred, thus creating information deficit on development issues particularly in the rural areas. Since community newspapers are designed to fill this development information gap at the local level, their efforts in carrying out this role deserve scrutiny. This study therefore assessed readers’ perception of the development inclination of Oriwu Sun community newspaper in Ikorodu area of Lagos State. Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 104 respondents from the study area. Structured questionnaire was used to elicit information on demographic characteristics, content preference, development roles, credibility and perception of the development inclination of the community newspaper from the sampled respondents. Data were described using frequencies and percentages. Hypotheses were tested using Spearman rho and Chi-square at 0.05 level of significance. Results show that most readers were adults (77.9%), male (63.0%) with 17 years as mean year of living in the community. The most preferred section of the newspaper content was the local/community news. The major roles performed by the newspaper were giving voice to the community and mobilisation (̅ =1.51) while, the watchdog role ranked lowly 4th. Although the newspaper enjoys high credibility rating among the readers, they perceived it as having indifferent inclination to development issues. The local news segment should feature more development content in order to make it serve the community better.
A Forced Harmonic Oscillator, Interpreted as Diffraction of Light

description: We investigate a simple forced harmonic oscillator with a natural frequency varying with time. It is shown that the time evolution of such a system can be written in a simplified form with Fresnel integrals, as long as the variation of the natural frequency is sufficiently slow compared to the time period of oscillation. Thanks to such a simple formulation, we found, for the first time, that a forced harmonic oscillator with a slowly-varying natural frequency is essentially equivalent to diffraction of light.
