subject: Seat belt use

description: States with primary seat belt enforcement laws consistently have higher observed daytime seat belt use rates than secondary law States. Secondary belt law States, on the other hand, consistently have more motor vehicle fatalities who were not restrained than do primary law States. Primary laws are associated with a 10 to 12% increase in observed belt rates and 9- to 10-percentage-point increases among occupants killed in fatal motor vehicle crashes. Observed seat belt use averages 88.2% in States with primary belt enforcement laws and 79.1% in States with secondary enforcement (NHTSA, 2009). Since the year 2000, 14 States upgraded their seat belt laws to primary enforcement status. This study documents the roles, strategies, resources, and arguments States used in their actions to pass primary belt laws. The 10 States that upgraded their seat belt laws between 2004 and 2009 (Tennessee, South Carolina, Alaska, Mississippi, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Arkansas, Florida, and Wisconsin) provided in-depth information about the successes and challenges they encountered during the process. It includes a literature review of the legislative history of primary belt laws. Researchers conducted more than 80 in-depth interviews with a variety of people who played key roles in the process of upgrading to primary enforcement. Each of the 10 case study States was unique in terms of the approach they used to pass a primary belt law, but there were common efforts and themes among them. Advocates pointed out that it is important to understand that passing a primary law is a multiyear effort involving a broad network of organizations and individuals. They need to identify and effectively respond to opposition arguments specific to their State. One persuasive element in many of the States was to make legislators aware of the availability of Section 406 Safety Belt Performance Grants, a portion of which could be used for highway and infrastructure projects. Advocates often hired lobbyists to provide information to address concerns of legislators. They also engaged the media to present a balanced view of the issues and report public support. Presenting the bill as a public health issue to save lives, reduce injuries, and reduce State medical expenditures attracted diverse partners and broadened the debate.

description: International and university cooperation is based, among others, on developing a psycho-social intervention referred to some methodological and epistemological approaches and to some ethical principles driving the community development. The themes here proposed, therefore, are related to cooperation projects aimed at community development. We are interested to present a reflection moving from cooperation projects aimed to the improvement of mental health, to the stimulation of citizens’ participation aimed at improving the quality of life, defending human rights and strengthening the resilience at an individual, group and community level. Experiences carried out will be here documented with the aim to develop reflections on theoretical approaches and methodologies that guide the cooperation in this field, as well as on the ways each project has established the relationship between universities from different countries and between universities and governments, institutions, public and private organizations, NGOs, communities, local and international networks. Particular attention has been paid to the study of the forms of participatory action research, implemented within the framework of cooperation initiatives aimed at enhancing the role of local cultures and knowledge. The focus of the communications here presented is to highlight the impact of these forms of cooperation both on contexts of the global South and on developed countries affected by the consequences of economic crisis. According to the picture that emerged it is possible to highlight both the different approaches between the cooperation projects in the field of psycho-social intervention and to show the presence of many common aspects; specifically, these experiences emphasize the importance of these forms of cooperation and the amplitude of the effects they may have both on the contexts in which they are carried out, as well on scientific research.

The spectrum of random k-lifts of large graphs (with possibly large k)

description: We study random k-lifts of large, but otherwise arbitrary graphs G. We prove that, with high probability, all eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of the lift that are not eigenvalues of G are of the order (D ln (kn))^{1/2}, where D is the maximum degree of G. Similarly, and also with high probability, the "new" eigenvalues of the Laplacian of the lift are all in an interval of length (ln (nk)/d)^{1/2} around 1, where d is the minimum degree of G. We also prove that, from the point of view of Spectral Graph Theory, there is very little difference between a random k_1k_2 ... k_r-lift of a graph and a random k_1-lift of a random k_2-lift of ... of a random k_r-lift of the same graph. The main proof tool is a concentration inequality for sums of random matrices that was recently introduced by the author.

Many-body theory for systems with particle conversion: Extending the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree method

description: We derive a multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree theory for systems with particle conversion. In such systems particles of one kind can convert to another kind and the total number of particles varies in time. The theory thus extends the scope of the available and successful multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree methods -- which were solely formulated for and applied to systems with a fixed number of particles -- to new physical systems and problems. As a guiding example we treat explicitly a system where bosonic atoms can combine to form bosonic molecules and vise versa. In the theory for particle conversion, the time-dependent many-particle wavefunction is written as a sum of configurations made of a different number of particles, and assembled from sets of atomic and molecular orbitals. Both the expansion coefficients and the orbitals forming the configurations are time-dependent quantities that are fully determined according to the Dirac-Frenkel time-dependent variational principle. Particular attention is paid to the reduced density matrices of the many-particle wavefunction that appear in the theory and enter the equations of motion. There are two kinds of reduced density matrices: particle-conserving reduced density matrices which directly only couple configurations with the same number of atoms and molecules, and particle non-conserving reduced density matrices which couple configurations with a different number of atoms and molecules. Closed-form and compact equations of motion are derived for contact as well as general two-body interactions, and their properties are analyzed and discussed.

description: The 2011 National Survey of Speeding Attitudes and Behavior (NSSAB) is the third in a series of surveys on speeding that have provided data to help further the understanding of driving behavior and to contribute to the development of countermeasures and interventions to reduce speeding. Like the previous studies, this survey yields national estimates of behavior and attitudes toward speeding in the United States. This study differs from the earlier studies in that it developed and used a driver typology based on the pattern of responses to six speeding behavior questions. Cluster analysis identified three distinct groups of drivers with similar overall behavioral tendencies. Among those drivers categorized, 30 percent are nonspeeders, 40 percent are sometime speeders, and 30 percent are speeders. Driver type is a powerful predictor of norms and attitudes towards speeding behavior, speeding countermeasures, experience with sanctions and crash experience. Drivers classified as speeders tended to be male and to be younger when compared to nonspeeders. One-half of the drivers aged 16 to 20 were classified as speeders, as compared to 15 percent of drivers aged 65 or older. Speeders were also more likely to have higher household incomes; 42 percent of drivers with annual household incomes exceeding $100,000 were classified as speeders, while only 25 percent of drivers with annual household incomes of $30,000 or less were in this driver type category.

description: La salute globale è un’area emergente di studi, ricerca e pratiche interdisciplinari che considera gli effetti della globalizzazione sulla salute con particolare attenzione alle questioni inerenti ai suoi determinanti sociali e alle iniziative di carattere transnazionale, e alla loro interazione con i sistemi nazionali e locali. Il tema della cooperazione internazionale allo sviluppo fa parte integrante dell’agenda della governance globale “della” e “per” la salute, soprattutto a seguito dell'emergere nell'ultimo decennio di nuovi attori non governativi sovra-nazionali che vengono a modificare sostanzialmente gli equilibri di potere e i processi decisionali globali riguardo alla salute. In tale contesto, nel 2009 il Ministero degli Affari Esteri, Direzione Generale per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo, ha prodotto il documento Salute Globale: Principi Guida della Cooperazione Italiana inteso a “guidare i programmi sanitari della Cooperazione Italiana, a rafforzare la complementarità e la coerenza del sistema italiano di cooperazione, e a promuovere l’allineamento delle politiche di aiuto pubblico allo sviluppo alle politiche dei paesi partner, così come l’armonizzazione con quelle degli altri donatori, e in particolare dell’Unione Europea.” Declinando il tema sia secondo la questione “partenariati e sistemi per la cooperazione”, sia sul piano dell’interazione tra saperi e poteri globali e processi di sviluppo locali, questo Panel intende esplorare il ruolo delle università nell’approfondire e applicare nella pratica tali principi guida (lotta alla povertà e alle diseguaglianze, accesso universale ed equo ai servizi sanitari, rafforzamento dei sistemi sanitari nazionali, partecipazione delle comunità, partenariato internazionale nella ricerca scientifica e nella formazione, efficacia dell’aiuto). In questo contesto assume particolare rilevanza il rilancio dei principi contenuti nella Dichiarazione di Alma-Ata (1978). Tra quelli anche quello di garantire l’accesso ai farmaci essenziali a tutta la popolazione (cui oggi si aggiunge la necessità di far fronte al problema globale dei farmaci contraffatti). Le università italiane possono perseguire questo scopo attraverso attività di ricerca, con appropriati percorsi di formazione interdisciplinare e interculturale, e fornendo adeguato know-how e tecnologia appropriata, nonché sostenendo – interagendo con le istituzioni competenti e con la società civile - interventi mirati di informazione, prevenzione e controllo.

description: Background: urban forests need to be tailored to the various ecosystem services citizens expect from them. Thus, it is essential to know the public perceptions and preferences regarding urban forests, urban trees, and parks. However, studies on the perceptions and preferences for urban forest across China and Europe are still insufficient. Objective: this study aimed to figure out the public perceptions regarding ecosystem services provided by parks, urban forests and urban trees, and the aesthetic preferences for urban greenery on the national (in Europe, 33 countries) and provincial (in China) scale. Methods: public perceptions and preferences were measured through a questionnaire (a survey on the role of forests, city parks and trees for human well-being and quality of life, in 30 national languages), with 7,323 respondents in China and 10,391 respondents in Europe (numbers after data cleaning) collected between March and July 2021. We described the differences of a) societal ecosystem service perception and b) aesthetic preferences related to landscapes by Kruskal-Wallis (or Wilcoxon) test and chi-square test, respectively. The socio-demographic influence on ecosystem services, on the other hand, was analysed through multiple categorical regressions. Results: respondents indicate a higher requirement for regulating and cultural ecosystem services of urban forests than provisioning ecosystem services. The perceptions of ecosystem services were varied according to age, gender and place of origin. Income, education and rurality were the main predictors for the perceptions of provisioning and regulating of cultural ecosystem services respectively. Results in China and Europe are largely comparable, except for the time needed to go to the forest, and the transport used. The cultivated urban forest landscape (park-like) was both the most attractive, while Europeans – overall – prefer a wilder version of the urban forest when it comes to the aesthetic benefits; as benefits to the society, both Chinese and European respondents preferred the parklike woodland. Ecosystem disservices are more important to Chinese respondents than to European respondents. Conclusion: the general public speaks highly of the value of urban forests. With regard to the optimum protection, construction and optimization strategies, the most important ecosystem service of a region or for a population group should be recognised.

description: Tutti gli studenti delle scuole di specializzazione della facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia hanno la possibilità, nell'ambito dei rapporti di collaborazione didattico-scientifica integrata tra università italiane ed università' di Paesi stranieri, di svolgere un periodo di formazione specialistica in strutture sanitarie estere accreditabili o già accreditate in Paesi in Via di Sviluppo (PVS). Tale periodo trascorso all’estero risulta far parte del percorso formativo non interrompendone la continuità didattica (su indicazione del consiglio della scuola, comma 6, art. 40, D.lgs. 368/99). L’obiettivo del panel è duplice. Da un lato motivare i Direttori delle Scuole di Specialità affinché stimolino la partecipazione degli studenti a periodi di studio all’estero superando le difficoltà organizzative di reparto. Dall’altro fornire agli specializzandi le informazioni relative a tali opportunità e alle modalità di accesso alla medesima che è altamente formativa professionalmente e, allo stesso tempo, comporta un grande coinvolgimento umano. Lo specializzando ha l’opportunità di conoscere una realtà diverse da quella italiana, avere una formazione personale su argomento concordato tra Ong e Scuola di Specialità in ambito diversificato a seconda della specialità, approfondire competenze e abilità legate alla specializzazione, prepararsi a un impegno futuro nella cooperazione internazionale o ad affrontare le sfide della salute globale nel proprio paese, tenere corsi di formazione del personale locale su temi specifici, restituire i contenuti dell’esperienza fatta tramite relazioni e/o la stesura di una tesi inerente l’esperienza all’estero.

description: Here we present HST/ACS imaging, in the B and I bands, of the edge-on Sb/Sc galaxy NGC 5170. Excluding the central disk region region, we detect a 142 objects with colours and sizes typical of globular clusters (GCs). Our main result is the discovery of a `blue tilt' (a mass-metallicity relation), at the 3sigma level, in the metal-poor GC subpopulation of this Milky Way like galaxy. The tilt is consistent with that seen in massive elliptical galaxies and with the self enrichment model of Bailin & Harris. For a linear mass-metallicity relation, the tilt has the form Z ~ L^{0.42 +/- 0.13}. We derive a total GC system population of 600 +/- 100, making it much richer than the Milky Way. However when this number is normalised by the host galaxy luminosity or stellar mass it is similar to that of M31. Finally, we report the presence of a potential Ultra Compact Dwarf of size ~ 6 pc and luminosity M_I ~ -12.5, assuming it is physically associated with NGC 5170.

description: La geomatica gioca un ruolo cruciale nel ciclo di Gestione delle emergenze. Le Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) mettono a diposizione dati e servizi georefernziati a scala globale, mentre l’utilizzo sempre più massiccio di formati interoperabili di dati basati su standard internazionali, rende estremamente più semplice la loro integrazione con dati locali. Sistemi di allerta precoce spesso si basano sulla disponibilità di dati telerilevati, capaci anche di alimentare sistemi di previsione e nowcasting concepiti per disseminare allerte tempestive ed efficaci. Dal punto di vista operativo invece, recenti emergenze (il terremoto di Haiti del 2010, le alluvioni in Pakistan del 2011, lo tsunami in Giappone e il terremoto dell’Emilia del 2012) hanno chiaramente dimostrato l’importante ruolo della geomatica nel supporto alla risposta e alla fase di ricostruzione emergenziale. Il telerilevamento è al giorno d’oggi usato sempre più frequentemente per supportare sia i decisori che il personale impiegato sul campo durante i disastri naturali e come chiaramente sottolineato dalle nazioni Unite nel 2011 “[…] Remote sensing in the hours and days after the Haiti earthquake yielded estimates of numbers of severely affected people that stood the test of time and allowed an unusually rapid flash appeal. [...] Similarly, in Pakistan, the plans in the revised flash appeal were mostly able to encompass the still expanding scale of needs thanks to information management using remote sensing and other resources necessary for a situation of limited ground access.” (United Nations 2011. Section “Major natural disasters in 2010 and lesson learned”). Questo panel intende presentare I più recenti sviluppi nel campo della geomatica, con particolare attenzione alle nuove tecnologie, best practices e progetti di cooperazione rivolti all’assistenza umanitaria.

description: The aim of Panel was to take stock of the role that architecture holds in international cooperation. It is an environment in which construction keeps a central position, investing, every year all over the world, enormous economical resources and intensively increasing the amount of buildings; but to date it seems to not notice the difference existing between the action of building and the one of doing architecture, completely ignoring a research over the issues of sustainability, comfort and shape quality. The panel drives to pinpoint different possible ways to overcome the categories that have always characterized the cooperation interventions: emergency, transition and development, in order to identify transversal paths in which architectural quality would established the direction to follow. To succeed in this intent, three reflection spheres were proposed to identify fragilities and opportunities that should be the starting point to renew the role of architecture within the international cooperation.

description: Il panel proposto vuole essere un’occasione di discussione sul tema della sostenibilità delle tecnologie appropriate nei Paesi del Sud del mondo per una corretta e responsabile gestione dell’ambiente e delle problematiche ad esso connesse. L’implementazione di tecnologie in questi contesti spesso deve affrontare alcuni fattori critici, quali: la rapida crescita demografica e cambiamento degli stili di vita; la mancanza di sensibilità e partecipazione civile; la debolezza del quadro normativo e della sua applicazione; le strutture organizzative frammentate ed inefficienti; i materiali e le infrastrutture insufficienti e inappropriate; le ridotte risorse finanziarie o l’inefficiente gestione delle tariffe; le risorse umane limitate dimensione staff, competenze, capacità e motivazioni); la mancanza di un monitoraggio ambientale. Questi fattori risultano spesso tra le principali cause del fallimento degli interventi di cooperazione internazionale che promuovono l’utilizzo di tali tecnologie. La loro introduzione e diffusione necessita di un approccio metodologico rigoroso multidisciplinare, che consenta un processo di scelta e implementazione delle tecnologie appropriate in grado di considerare le peculiarità del contesto di intervento e di integrarsi con gli usi tradizionali locali e le capacità della popolazione beneficiaria. La tematica viene trattata attraverso l’illustrazione di esempi di applicazione di tecnologie appropriate nel campo delle acque potabili e reflue, della gestione dei rifiuti solidie dell’accesso all’energia e mira a raccogliere, attraverso un’ampia discussione con i partecipanti, suggerimenti utili per individuare criteri per la corretta implementazione di tecnologie ambientali appropriate nei progetti di cooperazione internazionale.

description: For full-line Jacobi matrices, Schrödinger operators, and CMV matrices, we show that being reflectionless, in the sense of the well-known property of $m$-functions, is equivalent to a lack of reflection in the dynamics in the sense that any state that goes entirely to $x=-\infty$ as $t\to -\infty $ goes entirely to $x=\infty$ as $t\to\infty$. This allows us to settle a conjecture of Deift and Simon from 1983 regarding ergodic Jacobi matrices.
Esr-study of the bandstructure of cadmium sulfide

description: The electronic g-tensor in halogen-doped cadmium sulfide has been measured at 1.7°K, and its dependence upon uniaxial pressures parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis has been investigated. A sample doped with iodine to a room temperature resistivity of ≈ 0.7Ω cm exhibited an anisotropic g-tensor with gǁ = 1.785 and g⊥ = 1.767. The anisotropy in a heavily bromine-doped sample [formula omitted] was the same, but gǁ was slightly larger, 1.789. When some of the cadmium is replaced by zinc, the alloy acquires properties intermediate between those of CdS and ZnS. This was shown to apply to the g-tensor by measuring it in CdS(10%Zn):I. It was found to have a smaller anisotropy and a larger absolute value than that of CdS:I, thus having changed towards that of ZnS. The pressuredependence of the g-tensor and the change in the optical bandgap under hydrostatic pressure could be reasonably well explained in terms of two deformation potential constants for the bandgap, D₁-C₁-C₃ ≈ 6.3 eV/unit strain and D₂-C₂-C₄ ≈ 1.8 eV/unit strain. It is therefore concluded that although the bandstructure of CdS is not sufficiently well known to predict the g-tensor correctly, the interaction of the conduction band with the valence bands appears to be dominant. Further experiments to study the conduction band edge are proposed.
Superconducting phase qubit based on the Josephson oscillator with strong anharmonicity

description: We propose a superconducting phase qubit on the basis of the radio-frequency SQUID with the screening parameter value $β_L = (2π/Φ_0)LI_c \approx 1$, biased by a half flux quantum $Φ_e=Φ_0/2$. Significant anharmonicity ($> 30%$) can be achieved in this system due to the interplay of the cosine Josephson potential and the parabolic magnetic-energy potential that ultimately leads to the quartic polynomial shape of the well. The two lowest eigenstates in this global minimum perfectly suit for the qubit which is insensitive to the charge variable, biased in the optimal point and allows an efficient dispersive readout. Moreover, the transition frequency in this qubit can be tuned within an appreciable range allowing variable qubit-qubit coupling.

description: Lead-free double perovskites such as Cs2AgBiBr6 are gaining attention because of their environmental friendliness compared to the lead halide perovskites. In order to establish their photoactivity, we have probed the excited-state behavior of Cs2AgBiBr6 nanocrystals and charge injection from their excited state into different metal oxides (TiO2, ZnO). The electron-transfer rate constants determined from ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy were in the range of 1.2−5.2 × 1010 s−1. Under steady-state photolysis (ambient conditions), the electrons injected into TiO2 are scavenged by atmospheric oxygen, leaving behind holes which accumulate within the quantum dots (QDs). These accumulated holes further induce oxidation of QDs, resulting in the overall photodegradation of perovskite films. Annealed films of Cs2AgBiBr6 nanocrystals, when employed as an active layer in solar cells, delivered photocurrent under visible-light excitation.

description: People 65 and older are the fastest growing demographic group in the United States. This is cause for concern given that the youngest and oldest drivers have the highest crash rates per unit of distance traveled, with rates increasing for older drivers beginning around age 70. The driver licensing process provides an opportunity to identify risky older drivers before they are involved in a crash and to intervene to reduce their risk. This study explored licensing processes across the United States and conducted in-depth case studies on four States with novel processes not common nationwide. The project aimed to document benefits and unintended consequences of licensing policies intended to reduce risk for older drivers.

description: PSA on siiani levinum ja täpsem onkoloogiline veremarker, mida kasutatakse erinevate eesnäärmehaiguste diagnostikaks ja ravi efektiivsuse hindamiseks. Teiste meetodite kõrval jääb PSA kõige täpsemaks ja informatiivsemaks diagnostiliseks instrumendiks eesnäärme pahaloomulise haiguse diagnoosi püstitamiseks. Sageli ei piisa ainult PSA väärtusest ja sellepärast on viimase aasta jooksul järjest rohkem pööratud tähelepanu PSA kineetikale. Erinevate PSA surrogaatmarkerite kasutamine nagu PSAV, PSAD ja PSADT parandavad oluliselt eesnäärmehaiguste diagnostikat ja aitavad teha õigemaid raviotsuseid.

description: We discuss dual time evolution scenarios which, albeit running according to the same real time clock, in each considered case may be mapped among each other by means of an analytic continuation in time. This dynamical duality is a generic feature of diffusion-type processes. Technically that involves a familiar transformation from a non-Hermitian Fokker-Planck operator to the Hermitian operator (e.g. Schroedinger Hamiltonian), whose negative is known to generate a dynamical semigroup. Under suitable restrictions upon the generator, the semigroup admits an analytic continuation in time and ultimately yields dual motions. We analyze an extension of the duality concept to Levy flights, free and with an external forcing, while presuming that the corresponding evolution rule (fractional dynamical semigroup) is a dual counterpart of the quantum motion (fractional unitary dynamics).

description: Kopsuvähk on üks kõige sagedasematest vähipaikmetest. Ligikaudu 90%-l patsientidest esineb mitteväikerakuline kopsuvähk (lamerakuline vähk, suurerakuline vähk, adenokartsinoom). Mitteväikerakulise kopsuvähi ravi sõltub haiguse levikust ja staadiumist. I ja II staadiumis kasutatakse operatiivset ravi. Alates IB staadiumist rakendatakse lisaks operatsioonile ka postoperatiivset keemiaravi. III staadiumi raviks kasutatakse väga erinevaid kombinatsioone: operatiivset ravi pluss sel lele järgnevat keemiaravi, preoperatiivset keemiaravi pluss operatiivset ravi, preoperatiivset radiokemoteraapiat pluss operatiivset ravi või radiokemoteraapiat. Ka süsteemselt levinud IV staadiumi kopsuvähi korral kasutatakse lisaks palliatiivsele medikamentoossele ravile kiiritusravi ja operatiivset ravi. Mitteväikerakulise kopsuvähi ravi on kombineeritud ning ainult pädeva meeskonnatöö tulemusena ja õigete ravivalikute kasutamisega on võimalik kopsuvähihaigete elulemust parandada.

description: Levik kõhukelmele on seedetrakti ja günekoloogiliste kaugelearenenud kasvajate või nende taaspuhkemise üks sagedasi ilminguid. Peritoneaalse kartsinomatoosi tervistava ravi võimalused on olnud üsna piiratud ja prognoos seetõttu halb. Kirurgia, intensiivravi ja keemiaravi areng on andnud uue võimaluse kahe lokaalse agressiivse ravimeetodi – tsütoreduktiivse operatsiooni ja intraperitoneaalse keemiaravi – efektiivseks kombineerimiseks õigesti valitud haigetel, et tagada arvestatav elulemus võrreldes palliatiivse või toetava raviga. Nüüdseks on kogunenud piisavalt kliiniliste uuringute tulemusi selle lootustandva ravimeetodi teostatavuse, tõhususe ja ohutuse kohta. Mitme peritoneaalse kasvaja ravis on see meetod vähikeskustes praeguseks kujunenud standardiks.

description: Speeding reduces a driver’s ability to steer safely around curves or objects in the roadway, extends the distance necessary to stop a vehicle, and increases the distance a vehicle travels while the driver reacts to a dangerous situation. Speeding directly contributes to traffic injury severity and is estimated to be involved in about one-third of all U.S. traffic fatalities. While research has identified key factors connected with speeding or speed-related crashes, the relative importance of factors remains unclear. NHTSA conducted a naturalistic study to identify the reasons why drivers speed, classify speeders, and examine situational, demographic, and personality factors that may predict travel speed. Drivers from Seattle, Washington, and College Station, Texas, volunteered to have GPS units installed on their vehicles for 3 to 4 weeks. The GPS data compared drivers’ speeds to the posted speed limits on the roads they were driving at any given point in time. There were 164 participants, roughly divided equally into four groups – young males (18 to 25 years old), older males (35 to 55), young females (18 to 25) and older females (35 to 55). Participants completed personal inventories to measure demographic, personality, attitudinal, and risk-taking behaviors.

Counting statistics of cotunneling electrons
Creators: name: Emary, Clive
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a method for calculating the counting statistics of electronic transport through nanoscale devices with both sequential and cotunneling contributions. The method is based upon a perturbative expansion of the von Neumann equation in Liouvillian space, with current cumulants calculated from the resulting nonMarkovian master equation without further approximation. As application, we consider transport through a single quantum dot and discuss the effects of cotunneling on noise and skewness, as well as the properties of various approximation schemes.
