description: We have grown epitaxial Cr-doped V$_2$O$_3$ thin films with Cr concentrations between $0$ and $20\%$ on $(0001)$-Al$_2$O$_3$ by oxygen-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. For the highly doped samples (> $3\%$), a regular and monotonous increase of the resistance with decreasing temperature is measured. Strikingly, in the low doping samples (between $1\%$ and $3\%$), a collapse of the insulating state is observed with a reduction of the low temperature resistivity by up to 5 orders of magnitude. A vacuum annealing at high temperature of the films recovers the low temperature insulating state for doping levels below $3\%$ and increases the room temperature resistivity towards the values of Cr-doped V$_2$O$_3$ single crystals. It is well-know that oxygen excess stabilizes a metallic state in V$_2$O$_3$ single crystals. Hence, we propose that Cr doping promotes oxygen excess in our films during deposition leading to the collapse of the low temperature insulating state at low Cr concentrations. These results suggest that slightly Cr-doped V$_2$O$_3$ films can be interesting candidates for field effect devices.

description: The revolution in remote sensing of the Maya area led by recent advancements in the use of lidar has led to the discovery of a multitude of new infrastructural features that begin to reveal the true extent, scale, and complexity of ancient Maya investments in landesque capital. While large-scale investments in hydrologic infrastructure in the ancient urban core areas of El Zotz and nearby Bejucal were known and have been subject to a great deal of archaeological and geoarchaeological investigation. Unknown were subtle, small-scale, examples of hydrologic infrastructure in peripheral areas of the region outside of the aforementioned urban core areas. These were discovered using lidar data generated by the Pacunam Lidar Initiative (PLI). Examples of features discovered through the analysis of lidar data include potential dams, reservoirs, and canals. These manifestations of landesque capital are furthermore located in the upland areas of a landscape that contains lowland agricultural wetland complexes as well. Building on previous scholarship on Maya hydrologic infrastructure, this paper examines the implication of one such feature and its associated settlement group on the wider landscape. Given their differing positions in the socio-political landscape, this paper explores the potential significance of such small-scale hydrologic features on the cultural and political landscape of the ancient Maya in comparison to their counterparts in more central areas of the ancient political landscape.

description: Anomalous spectral shift of transmission peaks is observed in a Fabry--Pérot cavity filled with a chiral anisotropic medium. The effective refractive index value resides out of the interval between the ordinary and the extraordinary refractive indices. The spectral shift is explained by contribution of a geometric phase. The problem is solved analytically using the approximate Jones matrix method, numerically using the accurate Berreman method and geometrically using the generalized Mauguin--Poincaré rolling cone method. The $o$-mode blue shift is measured for a 4-methoxybenzylidene-4'-$n$-butylaniline twisted--nematic layer inside the Fabry--Pérot cavity. The twist is electrically induced due to the homeoplanar--twisted configuration transition in an ionic-surfactant-doped liquid crystal layer. Experimental evidence confirms the validity of the theoretical model.

description: Bit commitment and coin flipping occupy a unique place in the device-independent landscape, as the only device-independent protocols thus far suggested for these tasks are reliant on tripartite GHZ correlations. Indeed, we know of no other bipartite tasks, which admit a device-independent formulation, but which are not known to be implementable using only bipartite nonlocality. Another interesting feature of these protocols is that the pseudo-telepathic nature of GHZ correlations -- in contrast to the generally statistical character of nonlocal correlations, such as those arising in the violation of the CHSH inequality -- is essential to their formulation and analysis. In this work, we present a device-independent bit commitment protocol based on CHSH testing, which achieves the same security as the optimal GHZ-based protocol. The protocol is analyzed in the most general settings, where the devices are used repeatedly and may have long-term quantum memory. We also recast the protocol in a post-quantum setting where both honest and dishonest parties are restricted only by the impossibility of signaling, and find that overall the supra-quantum structure allows for greater security.

description: Parallel sentences are a relatively scarce but extremely useful resource for many applications including cross-lingual retrieval and statistical machine translation. This research explores our new methodologies for mining such data from previously obtained comparable corpora. The task is highly practical since non-parallel multilingual data exist in far greater quantities than parallel corpora, but parallel sentences are a much more useful resource. Here we propose a web crawling method for building subject-aligned comparable corpora from e.g. Wikipedia dumps and Euronews web page. The improvements in machine translation are shown on Polish-English language pair for various text domains. We also tested another method of building parallel corpora based on comparable corpora data. It lets automatically broad existing corpus of sentences from subject of corpora based on analogies between them.

Forced libration of tidally synchronized planets and moons

description: Tidal dissipation of kinetic energy, when it is strong enough, tends to synchronize the rotation of planets and moons with the mean orbital motion, or drive it into long-term stable spin-orbit resonances. As the orbital motion undergoes periodic acceleration due to a finite orbital eccentricity, the spin rate oscillates around the equilibrium mean value too, giving rise to the forced, or eccentricity-driven, librations. Both the shape and amplitude of forced librations of synchronous viscoelastic planets and moons are defined by a combination of two different types of perturbative torque, the tidal torque and the triaxial torque. Consequently, forced librations can be tidally dominated (e.g., Io and possibly Titan) or deformation-dominated (e.g., the Moon) depending on a set of orbital, rheological, and other physical parameters. With small eccentricities, for the former kind, the largest term in the libration angle can be minus cosine of the mean anomaly, whereas for the latter kind, it is minus sine of the mean anomaly. The shape and the amplitude of tidal forced librations determine the rate of orbital evolution of synchronous planets and moons, i.e., the rate of dissipative damping of semimajor axis and eccentricity. The known super-Earth exoplanets can exhibit both kinds of libration, or a mixture thereof, depending on, for example, the effective Maxwell time of their rigid mantles. Our approach can be extended to estimate the amplitudes of other libration harmonics, as well as the forced libration in non-synchronous spin-orbit resonances.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Autogenous bone grafts are often associated with unpredictable success rates and donor site morbidity. There is clear medical need for cost-effective bone graft material that overcomes these short-comings. Aim: To test a thermally stable, macro-porous collagen scaffold, DuraGen® for bone repair and study its ability to stimulate healing of critical size defects in rat calvaria engrafted with Mesenchymal Stem Cells(MSCs). Methods: Craniotomy defects, 8.9mm diameter were created in 28 adult Sprague-Dawley rats, randomly divided into four groups, 6-Empty(E), 6-Collagen only(C), 8-Collagen+MSCs(C+M), 8-Collagen+rhBMP-2(C+B). Two transgenic rats served as stromal cell donors by means of femoral marrow lavage. Results: Bone repair at 28 days was measured using radiographs and histology. Histology showed mean bone fill of 9.25%(10.82), 19.07%(17.38), 44.21%(3.93) and 66.06%(15.08) respectively. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant differences between: E & C, C & C+M, C+B; none between C+M & C+B. Conclusion: This study clearly displays osteogenic properties of collagen scaffold implanted with MSCs.

description: In order to study the unstable step motion on vicinal crystal surfaces we devise vicinal Cellular Automata. Each cell from the colony has value equal to its height in the vicinal, initially the steps are regularly distributed. Another array keeps the adatoms, initially distributed randomly over the surface. The growth rule defines that each adatom at right nearest neighbor position to a (multi-) step attaches to it. The update of whole colony is performed at once and then time increases. This execution of the growth rule is followed by compensation of the consumed particles and by diffusional update(s) of the adatom population. Two principal sources of instability are employed: biased diffusion and infinite inverse Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier (iiSE). Since these factors are not opposed by step-step repulsion the formation of multi-steps is observed but in general the step bunches preserve a finite width. We monitor the developing surface patterns and quantify the observations by scaling laws with focus on the eventual transition from diffusion-limited to kinetics-limited phenomenon. The time-scaling exponent of the bunch size N is 1/2 for the case of biased diffusion and 1/3 for the case of iiSE. Additional distinction is possible based on the time-scaling exponents of the sizes of multi-steps, these are 0.36-0.4 (for biased diffusion) and 1/4 (iiSE).

description: We analytically study rogue-wave (RW) solutions and rational solitons of an integrable fifth-order nonlinear Schrödinger (FONLS) equation with three free parameters. It includes, as particular cases, the usual NLS, Hirota, and Lakshmanan-Porsezian-Daniel (LPD) equations. We present continuous-wave (CW) solutions and conditions for their modulation instability in the framework of this model. Applying the Darboux transformation to the CW input, novel first- and second-order RW solutions of the FONLS equation are analytically found. In particular, trajectories of motion of peaks and depressions of profiles of the first- and second-order RWs are produced by means of analytical and numerical methods. The solutions also include newly found rational and W-shaped one- and two-soliton modes. The results predict the corresponding dynamical phenomena in extended models of nonlinear fiber optics and other physically relevant integrable systems.

Importantly, TWU is currently seeking to start a law school, which faces great opposition due to TWU’s historical and current exclusion of queer folks. Subsequently, this thesis draws on data gathered from six qualitative interviews with current or past TWU students who also identify as LGBTTQIA+, women and/or gender non binary with the hope of making space for those folks while also offering criticisms and recommendations for TWU to consider. Additionally, this thesis seeks to provide clinical recommendations for counsellors and psychotherapists as they work to support folks at the intersections of spiritual and sexual identity in an affirmative and supportive manner.

description: The step bunching instability is studied in three models of step motion defined in terms of ordinary differential equations (ODE). The source of instability in these models is step-step attraction, it is opposed by step-step repulsion and the developing surface patterns reflect the balance between the two. The first model, TE2, is a generalization of the seminal model of Tersoff et al. (1995). The second one, LW2, is obtained from the model of Liu and Weeks (1998) using the repulsions term to construct the attractions one with retained possibility to change the parameters in the two independently. The third model, MM2, is a minimal one constructed ad hoc and in this article it plays a central role. New scheme for scaling the ODE in vicinal studies is applied towards deciphering the pre-factors in the time-scaling relations. In all these models the patterned surface is self-similar - only one length scale is necessary to describe its evolution (hence B1-type). The bunches form finite angles with the terraces. Integrating numerically the equations for step motion and changing systematically the parameters we obtain the overall dependence of time-scaling exponent \b{eta} on the power of step-step attractions p as \b{eta} = 1/(3+p) for MM2 and hypothesize based on restricted set of data that it is \b{eta} = 1/(5+p) for LW2 and TE2.

description: Ο καρκίνος του πέους είναι μία σπάνια κακοήθης νόσος, η οποία προσβάλλει τους άνδρες στην έκτη δεκαετία της ζωής τους. Ο πιο συχνός ιστολογικός τύπος είναι το ακανθοκυτταρικό καρκίνωμα. Περίπου το ένα τρίτο των περιστατικών φαίνεται να σχετίζεται με λοίμωξη από τον Ιό των Ανθρώπινων Θηλωμάτων (HPV). Η διάγνωση βασίζεται στην κλινική εξέταση και επιβεβαιώνεται ιστολογικά με βιοψία, ενώ η σταδιοποίηση της νόσου γίνεται με τη βοήθεια απεικονιστικών μεθόδων. Η εκτίμηση τόσο του πρωτοπαθούς όγκου όσο και των λεμφαδένων είναι πολύ σημαντική, καθώς η συμμετοχή των τελευταίων αποτελεί τον ισχυρότερο προγνωστικό δείκτη για την επιβίωση των ασθενών. Οι θεραπευτικές επιλογές που είναι διαθέσιμες θα πρέπει να εφαρμόζονται εξατομικευμένα σε κάθε ασθενή. Αυτές, όσον αφορά τον πρωτοπαθή όγκο, περιλαμβάνουν τοπική θεραπεία, ακτινοθεραπεία, χειρουργικές τεχνικές που επιτρέπουν τη διατήρηση του πέους (Μικρογραφική Χειρουργική κατά Mohs, Περιτομή και Ευρεία Τοπική Εκτομή, Laser Ablation, Glans Resurfacing, Βαλανεκτομή, Μερική Πεεκτομή) καθώς και πιο ακρωτηριαστικές τεχνικές όπως η ολική πεεκτομή. Όσον αφορά τους λεμφαδένες, στόχος είναι η μείωση της νοσηρότητας με τη διενέργεια λεμφαδενικού καθαρισμού. Μετά την αντιμετώπιση της νόσου, ο ασθενής θα πρέπει να ενημερώνεται για τις διαθέσιμες επιλογές αποκατάστασης, με στόχο τη δημιουργία ενός λειτουργικά και αισθητικά αποδεκτού πέους, με την ικανότητα για διούρηση από όρθια θέση καθώς και για σεξουαλική λειτουργικότητα.
description: Penile cancer is a rare malignant disease, which affects men in their sixth decade of life. The most common histologic subtype is Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Almost one third of the cases appears to be associated with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection. Diagnosis is based on physical examination and is histologically confirmed by biopsy, while staging of the disease is being done with the assistance of imaging modalities. The evaluation of the primary lesion and the lymph nodes is very important, as lymph node metastasis is the strongest prognostic factor for the patients’ survival. Treatment options that are available, should be personalized for each patient. Treatment of the primary tumor consists of local therapy, radiotherapy, penile sparing surgical approaches (Mohs micrographic surgery, Circumcision and Wide Local Excision, Laser Ablation, Glans Resurfacing, Glansectomy, Patrial Penectomy) or amputation surgery such as total penectomy. Concerning the lymph nodes, our target is to minimize the morbidity by lymph node dissection. After local treatment, patients should be informed on the available reconstruction options, with a view of creating a functional and aesthetically acceptable penis, which will offer the patient the ability to void from a standing position and maintain acceptable sexual function.

Synthetic HI observations of spiral structure in the outer disk in galaxies

description: By means of 3D hydrodynamical simulations, in a separate paper we have discussed the properties of non-axisymmetric density wave trains in the outermost regions of galaxy disks, based on the picture that self-excited global spiral modes in the bright optical stellar disk are accompanied by low-amplitude short trailing wave signals outside corotation; in the gas, such wave trains can penetrate through the outer Lindblad resonance and propagate outwards, forming prominent spiral patterns. In this paper we present the synthetic 21~cm velocity maps expected from simulated models of the outer gaseous disk, focusing on the case when the disk is dominated by a two-armed spiral pattern, but considering also other more complex situations. We discuss some aspects of the spiral pattern in the gaseous periphery of galaxy disks noted in our simulations that might be interesting to compare with specific observed cases.

“Lasciami così”. Luigi Ghirri e i CCCP – Fedeli alla linea

Villa Pirondini
Epica Etica Etnica Pathos

description: In 1990 the photographer Luigi Ghirri was invited to take photographs for the new CCCP - Fedeli alla linea album, which is in preparation at Villa Pirondini, an old villa in the countryside where the band has settled and has set up a mobile recording studio. The album is Epica Etica Etnica Pathos, a double LP which will surprise everyone, marking a musical and visual turning point for the group from Reggio Emilia, as well as its end. The photograph on the cover portrays the interior of a frescoed chapel where the musicians had set up their recording studio, and it is a singularly intense image, full of meanings and allusions which, like other images published on the album, is a condensation of the story of CCCP and Ghirri’s poetics, whose charm increases with time. Since a cult and a small mythology have developed around this story, in this article I intend firstly to clarify it, integrating the existing literature and the conversations I had with some of its protagonists. Furthermore, I will try a reading of Ghirri’s work in the light of the work of the CCCP and vice versa, bringing out from the comparison certain peculiar aspects of both, showing that their meeting did not happen by chance, but thanks to a series of significant common elements.
Solitons in a nonlinear Schrodinger equation with PT-symmetric potentials and inhomogeneous nonlinearity: stability and excitation of nonlinear modes

description: We report branches of explicit expressions for nonlinear modes in parity-time (PT) symmetric potentials of several types. For the single-well and double-well potentials the found solutions are two-parametric and appear to be stable even when the PT-symmetry of respective underlying linear models is broken. Based on the examples of these solutions we describe an algorithm of excitation of a stable nonlinear mode in a model, whose linear limit is unstable. The method is based on the adiabatic change of the control parameter driving the mode along a branch bifurcating from a stable linear mode. The suggested algorithm is confirmed by extensive numerical simulations.
