description: The real-time dynamics of equal-site correlation functions is studied for one-dimensional spin models with quenched disorder. Focusing on infinite temperature, we present a comparison between the dynamics of models with different quantum numbers $S = 1/2, 1, 3/2$, as well as of chains consisting of classical spins. Based on this comparison as well as by analyzing the statistics of energy-level spacings, we show that the putative many-body localization transition is shifted to considerably stronger values of disorder for increasing $S$. In this context, we introduce an effective disorder strength $W_\text{eff}$, which provides a mapping between the dynamics for different spin quantum numbers. For small $W_\text{eff}$, we show that the real-time correlations become essentially independent of $S$, and are moreover very well captured by the dynamics of classical spins. Especially for $S = 3/2$, the agreement between quantum and classical dynamics is remarkably observed even for very strong values of disorder. This behavior also reflects itself in the corresponding spectral functions, which are obtained via a Fourier transform from the time to the frequency domain. As an aside, we also comment on the self-averaging properties of the correlation function at weak and strong disorder. Our work sheds light on the correspondence between quantum and classical dynamics at high temperatures and extends our understanding of the dynamics in disordered spin chains beyond the well-studied case of $S=1/2$.

description: Magnetoresistance measurements have been carried out along the highly conducting a axis in the FISDW phase of hydrogened and deuterated (TMTSF)$_2$ClO$_4$ for various cooling rates through the anion ordering temperature. With increasing the cooling rate, a) the high field phase boundary $β_{\rm {HI}}$, observed at 27 T in hydrogened samples for slowly cooled, is shifted towards a lower field, b) the last semimetallic SDW phase below $β_{\rm {HI}}$ is suppressed, and c) the FISDW insulating phase above $β_{\rm {HI}}$ is enhanced in both salts. The cooling rate dependence of the FISDW transition and of $β_{\rm {HI}}$ in both salts can be explained by taking into account the peculiar SDW nesting vector stabilized by the dimerized gap due to anion ordering.

description: An overview is given of the long-time and long-distance behavior of correlation functions in both classical and quantum statistical mechanics. After a simple derivation of the classical long-time tails in equilibrium time correlation functions, we discuss analogous long-distance phenomena in nonequilibrium classical systems. The paper then draws analogies between these phenomena and similar effects in quantum statistical mechanics, with emphasis on the soft modes that underly long-time tails and related phenomena. We also elucidate the interplay between critical phenomena and long-time tails, using the classical liquid-gas critical point and the quantum ferromagnetic transition as examples.

description: We search a gravitational system which allows a non-relativistic hybrid geometry interpolating the Schrödinger and Lifshitz spacetimes as a solution, as a continuation of the previous work employing a flow equation. As such a candidate an Einstein-Maxwell-Higgs system naturally arises and we verify that this system indeed supports the hybrid geometry with the help of a gauge-fixing term for diffeomorphism. As a result, this gravitational system may be interpreted as a holographic dual of a general non-relativistic system at the boundary.

description: Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) is responsible for the de novo synthesis of fatty acids, which are involved in the preservation of biological membrane structure, energy storage and assembly of factors involved in signal transduction. FASN plays a critical role in supporting tumor cell growth, thus representing a potential target for anti-cancer therapies. Moreover, this enzyme has been recently associated with increased PD-L1 expression, suggesting a role for fatty acids in the impairment of the immune response in the tumor microenvironment. Orlistat, a tetrahydrolipstatin used for the treatment of obesity, has been reported to reduce FASN activity, while inducing a sensible reduction of the growth potential in different cancer models. We have analyzed the effect of orlistat on different features involved in the tumor cell biology of the T-ALL Jurkat cell line. In particular, we have observed that orlistat inhibits Jurkat cell growth and induces a perturbation of cell cycle along with a decline of FASN activity and protein levels. Moreover, the drug produces a remarkable impairment of PD-L1 expression. These findings suggest that orlistat interferes with different mechanisms involved in the control of tumor cell growth and can potentially contribute to decrease the tumor-associated immune-pathogenesis.

description: Ischemic stroke (IS) can cause neuronal cell loss and function defects. Exosomes derived from neural stem cells (NSC-Exos) improve neural plasticity and promote neural function repair following IS. However, the potential mechanism remains unclear. In this study, NSC-Exos were characterized and co-cultured with microglia. We found that NSC-Exos increased NRF2 expression in oxygen–glucose deprivation/reoxygenation and LPS-induced microglia and converted microglia from M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype to M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype. NSC-Exos reduced m6A methylation modification of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) mRNA via obesity-associated gene (FTO). Furthermore, NSC-Exos reduced the damage to neurons caused by microglia’s inflammatory response. Finally, the changes in microglia polarization and neuron damage caused by FTO knockdown in NSE-Exos were attenuated by NRF2 overexpression in microglia. These findings revealed that NSC-Exos promotes NRF2 expression and M2 polarization of microglial via transferring FTO, thereby resulting in neuroprotective effects.

description: The fresh-cut sector is constantly evolving and innovating in order to enhance quality and safety of products, which attributes are generally valued by consumers. Quality and safety are multifaceted attributes because they arise from a wide set of methods/technologies, therefore the knowledge about consumers’ preferences for food technologies is still matter of debate. The present paper tests whether new fresh-cut fruit and vegetables (F&V) attributes influence consumers’ choices and preferences. At the same time, we are able to verify the influence of socio-demographic characteristics on consumers’ preferences. A Latent Class Multinomial Logit Model has been fitted for four different European countries: Greece, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom, in order to divide the consumers in different latent classes based on their choice and their characteristics. Fresh-cut F&V consumers for the four European countries, have a similar behavior in terms of preferences. We can divide the consumers in two different latent classes: the first made by consumers that do not appreciate any fresh-cut F&V attributes, and the second that include consumers that appreciate the several fresh-cut F&V attributes.

description: The TexOx Cluster (TOC) Survey uses overdensities of radiosources in the NVSS to trace clusters of galaxies. The links between radiosources and rich environments make this a powerful way to find clusters which may potentially be overlooked by other selection techniques. By including constraints from optical surveys, TOC is an extremely efficient way to find clusters at high redshift. One such field, TOC J0233.3+3021, contains at least one galaxy cluster (at z ~ 1.4) and has been detected using the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. Even in targetted deep optical observations, however, distinguishing the cluster galaxies from the background is difficult, especially given the tendency of TOC to select fields containing multiple structures at different redshifts.

description: We study the effective string description of space-like Polyakov loop correlators at finite temperature with the goal of describing the behaviour of the space--like string tension in the vicinity of the deconfinement transition. To this end we construct the partition function of the Nambu-Goto effective string theory in presence of a compact transverse direction of length $L$ equal to the inverse temperature. We then show that, under particular conditions, our result can be interpreted as the partition function of the $T\bar T$ deformation of the 2d quantum field theory describing a compactified bosonic field and that this mapping allows a deeper insight on the behaviour of the space-like observables of the theory. In particular we show, by imposing that the spectrum of the model obeys the inviscid Burgers equation, that the $T\bar T$ deformations follow well defined trajectories in the parameter space $(σ,L)$ of the model, where $σ$ is the string tension, which are characterized by a constant value of the dimensionless compactification radius $ρ=L\sqrt{σ/2π}$. We discuss the potential usefulness of these results for studying the space--like string tension of the underlying Lattice Gauge Theory and its behaviour across the deconfinement transition.

description: Where land is an extremely limiting factor, production is increased through intensive cultivation with two or more crops in a year. We found that 82 per cent of the operating crop land is under 2 or more crops. Soil fertility depletion is one of the main biophysical limiting factors for sustaining per capita food production for smallholder farmers in this system. The adoption of conservation agricultural practices, as a way to tackle this challenge, has become an important issue in the development policy agenda for smallholder agriculture. This paper examines the adoption decisions for conservation tillage, using recent primary data collected from 606 farming households practising diverse cropping systems in three different districts where on-farm participatory trials were being carried out. The paper employs classical tests to identify variations in adoption and yield between participatory and non-participatory farmers as well as variation between cropping patterns and locations. A double hurdle model was employed to explain the factors influencing adoption decisions by farm households. The analysis reveals that several factors contribute to probability and intensity of adoption. Diversities exist between locations, cropping systems, and seasons. Policies that target conservation as a measure of sustainable agriculture must consider diversities for wider diffusion of technology.

description: Atomic-scale investigations of metal oxide surfaces exposed to aqueous environments are vital to understand degradation phenomena (e.g. dissolution and corrosion) as well as the performance of these materials in applications. Here, we utilize a new experimental setup for the UHV-compatible dosing of liquids to explore the stability of the Fe3O4(001)-c(2x2) surface following exposure to liquid and ambient pressure water. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) data show that extensive hydroxylation causes the surface to revert to a bulk-like (1x1) termination. However, scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) images reveal a more complex situation, with the slow growth of an oxyhydroxide phase, which ultimately saturates at approximately 40% coverage. We conclude that the new material contains OH groups from dissociated water coordinated to Fe cations extracted from subsurface layers, and that the surface passivates once the surface oxygen lattice is saturated with H because no further dissociation can take place. The resemblance of the STM images to those acquired in previous electrochemical STM (EC-STM) studies lead us to believe a similar structure exists at the solid-electrolyte interface during immersion at pH 7.
Identification of key factors that aid the decision on whether to refurbish-reuse or demolish-rebuild existing and newly designed buildings and highways
Creators: name: Ali, Syed Faisal
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2022

description: The demand for construction and demolition (C&D) of existing and new buildings have been increasing every year, as a result of this, a significant increase in waste has been witnessed. According to Defra, the UK is producing on average of 110 million tonnes of C&D waste every year since 2010. This indicates that a well informed decision is required for any building or site that is being considered for C&D works in order to reduce waste.
The aim of this research project is to identify the key factors that play a vital role in deciding whether to refurbish or rebuild any existing building and highway pavement that
is reaching its design life and also newly designed buildings for future decision-making.
The objectives are; to develop different sets of frameworks to identify the key factors and to achieve a well-informed decision criteria based on the identified key factors.
The methodology used to complete this research project, consists of two parts; investigation of different aspects of waste management and similar cases of some previously refurbished or reconstructed buildings, collection of waste statistics from
different construction sites with the intention to develop different sets of framework for the identification of decision-making factors and secondly, the use of Revit (BIM) CAD
software and Tally (LCA) tool for application of these factors, where these were applied to some of the existing or old and new buildings in order to check their reliability.
The reported research project has identified 11 key factors and their application on the existing/old and newly build structures. It has been observed that an enormous amount of waste can be prevented in the future at an early stage of project planning through making a proper and well informed decision about any existing building or a new development with the scope of future possibilities of amendments to it when nearing the end of design life. Following the application, an expert opinion survey was conducted for validation of the key factors, then these factors were arranged in a priority order by
deciding a threshold for each of the factors. Pavement conditions are analysed and a decision on whether to refurbish or recycle is identified accordingly.
Following the application and validation of factors onto different buildings and highway pavements, it has been observed that the decision of whether to refurbish or rebuild vary in every case, given the scenario that how much design life is left and what is the current state of the building and most importantly, what would be the cost and environmental impact in each case. However, in some cases, it has been clearly observed that the decision to refurbish is more suitable than to rebuild due to design life being left is significantly higher and the proposed purpose of the building use complies with the current layout.

description: Intranasal infection of newly-weaned Syrian hamsters by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants can lead to brain inflammation and neuron degeneration with detectable low viral load and sparse expression of viral nucleoprotein. Abstract Children infected by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant may develop neurological complications. To study the pathogenesis in the growing brain, we intranasally challenged newly-weaned or mature hamsters with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2, BA.5 or Delta variant. Omicron BA.2 and Delta infection produced a significantly lower viral load in the lung tissues of newly-weaned than mature hamsters despite comparable histopathological damages. Newly-weaned hamsters had higher brain viral load, significantly increased cerebrospinal fluid concentration of TNF-α and CXCL10 and inflammatory damages including mild meningitis and parenchymal vascular congestion, despite sparse expression of nucleocapsid antigen in brain cells. Furthermore, 63.6% (28/44) of all SARS-CoV-2 infected newly-weaned hamsters showed microgliosis in olfactory bulb, cerebral cortex and hippocampus. In infected mature hamsters, microgliosis were observed mainly in olfactory bulb and olfactory cortex of 35.3% (12/34) of their brains. Neuronal degeneration was found in 75% (33/44) of newly-weaned hamsters affecting multiple regions including olfactory bulb, olfactory cortex, midbrain cortex and hippocampus, while such changes were mainly observed in hippocampus of mature hamsters. Importantly, similar brain histopathology was observed in Omicron BA.5 infected newly-weaned hamsters. Our study suggested that SARS-CoV-2 may affect the brain at young age. This kind of brain involvement and histological changes are not virus variant or subvariant specific. Incidentally, moderate amount of eosinophilic infiltration was observed in the mucosa of nasal turbinate and trachea of newly-weaned hamsters infected by Omicron BA.2 and BA.5 but not Delta variant. This histological finding is consistent with the higher incidence of laryngotracheobronchitis in young children infected by the Omicron variant.

description: We report on nanosecond long, gate-dependent valley lifetimes of free charge carriers in monolayer WSe$_2$, unambiguously identified by the combination of time-resolved Kerr rotation and electrical transport measurements. While the valley polarization increases when tuning the Fermi level into the conduction or valence band, there is a strong decrease of the respective valley lifetime consistent with both electron-phonon and spin-orbit scattering. The longest lifetimes are seen for spin-polarized bound excitons in the band gap region. We explain our findings via two distinct, Fermi level-dependent scattering channels of optically excited, valley polarized bright trions either via dark or bound states. By electrostatic gating we demonstrate that the transition metal dichalcogenide WSe$_2$ can be tuned to be either an ideal host for long-lived localized spin states or allow for nanosecond valley lifetimes of free charge carriers (> 10 ns).

description: We prove that in dimension one the non-real eigenvalues of the non-Hermitian Anderson (NHA) model with a selfaveraging potential are regularly spaced. The class of selfaveraging potentials which we introduce in this paper is very wide and in particular includes stationary potentials (with probability one) as well as all quasi-periodic potentials. It should be emphasized that our approach here is much simpler than the one we used before. It allows us a) to investigate the above mentioned spacings, b) to establish certain properties of the integrated density of states of the Hermitian Anderson models with selfaveraging potentials, and c) to obtain (as a by-product) much simpler proofs of our previous results concerned with non-real eigenvalues of the NHA model.

description: Measurement of a phase difference between the mirror segments is a crucial task that we face nowadays when it comes to telescopes with segmented mirrors. From different perspectives, we need to be able to obtain the phase difference in a precise way. We don\'t need the phase measurement only for the adaptive optics, but the measurement can be used for the initial co-alignment of the mirror after the maintenance, for example. At ESO, we built a Pyramid Piston Sensor Test Bench for testing methods of discontinuous phase measurements. Original research based on experience with the GHOST bench was applied to the Pyramid Piston Sensor. The bench is equipped with a pyramid wavefront sensor with four facet pyramid and two different telescope simulators. The first telescope simulator emulates a segmented mirror using a Spatial Light Modulator. This telescope simulator is used for the calibration of the system. The other telescope simulator can host physical phase plates with known phase steps and is used for an actual measurement with the calibrated pyramid wavefront sensor. In this paper, we present the test bench and results of the calibration campaign, along with the description of findings noted during the calibration of the pyramid wavefront sensor.

 Laparocerus indutus Wollaston 1865, p 325, Appendix p 53.
 Type locality. La Gomera, Canary Islands.
 Lectotype: 1„ (on red line-card), La Gomera, Messrs Crotch leg. (ex litt.). NHM, London. Paralectotype: 1„, same data. MNHN (Coll. Oberthür-Wollaston), Paris.
 Remarks. According to the description, there must be one more syntype somewhere. Marseul (1872, p 535) proposed the invalid replacement name Laparocerus tectus. Roudier (1957a, p 30) treated indutus as a subspecies of L. puncticollis Wollaston, 1864. The species is very common in the forested parts of the island. The type serie was probably collected in Monte Forte, the classical collecting-ground in the past.

description: Identification of cancer-specific methylation of DNA released by tumours can be used for non-invasive diagnostics and monitoring. We previously reported in silico identification of DNA methylation loci specifically hypermethylated in common human cancers that could be used as epigenetic biomarkers. Using DNA methylation specific qPCR we now clinically tested a group of these cancer-specific loci on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) extracted from the plasma fraction of blood samples from healthy controls and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. These DNA methylation biomarkers distinguish lung cancer cases from controls with high sensitivity and specificity (AUC = 0.956), and furthermore, the signal from the markers correlates with tumour size and decreases after surgical resection of lung tumours. Presented observations suggest the clinical value of these DNA methylation biomarkers for NSCLC diagnostics and monitoring. Since we successfully validated the biomarkers using independent DNA methylation data from multiple additional common carcinoma cohorts (bladder, breast, colorectal, oesophageal, head and neck, pancreatic or prostate cancer) we predict that these DNA methylation biomarkers will detect additional carcinoma types from plasma samples as well.

description: Single-file transport, where particles cannot bypass each other, has been observed in various experimental setups. In such systems, the behaviour of a tracer particle (TP) is subdiffusive, which originates from strong correlations between particles. These correlations are especially marked when the TP is driven and leads to inhomogeneous density profiles. Determining the impact of this inhomogeneity when several TPs are driven in the system is a key question, related to the general issue of bath-mediated interactions, which are known to induce collective motion and lead to the formation of clusters or lanes in a variety of systems. Quantifying this collective behaviour, the emerging interactions and their dependence on the amplitude of forces driving the TPs, remains a challenging but largely unresolved issue. Here, considering dense single-file systems, we analytically determine the entire dynamics of the correlations and reveal out of equilibrium cooperativity and competition effects between driven TPs.

description: Uncertainties about future levels of energy availability and concern for climate change have raised public interest in energy efficiency and conservation. In particular, efficiency gains in the residential sector, which accounts for about 22% of energy end-use in the United States has the potential to yield large benefits for society. In this research we conduct an empirical analysis to investigate the likelihood of adoption of energy efficiency (EE) measures in the residential sector. We consider heterogeneity of occupants and homeowners based on their demographic characteristics, as well as the structural characteristics of housing units, weather parameters and geographical characteristics. Our empirical results shed light on (1) the drivers of EE adoption for households, (2) the extent to which EE adoption differs between homeowners and landlords, and (3) the extent to which EE adoption differs among types of housing (utility-included vs. utility-excluded rent, owner occupied).

description: The Chinese large-area violet-light-sensitive silicon photodiode PIN is one of the candidates of the lead tungstate crystal detector readout component of the photon spectrometer in the large heavy ion collision experiment. The PIN diode was assembled with the lead tungstate crystal and the low-noise preamplifier into a complete detector unit. The beam test was carried out on the SPS accelerator at CERN. The energy resolution was measured with the electron beam energy ranging from 5 to 40 GeV. The summation correction method was discussed, and an excellent linearity of the nominal beam energy versus the peak position of the detector was obtained, which showed the punch-through effect can be ignored.

Vibronic coupling induced by fast Rabi oscillations for kinetic energy control in free atom

description: Vibronic coupling effects usually manifest themselves in molecules and crystals rather than in an unbound atoms. We theoretically demonstrate the existence of vibronic states in a moving two-level atom exposed to a strong electromagnetic wave. In this case, the Rabi oscillations of the electron density give rise to periodic displacements of the atom center of mass with the Rabi frequency. The periodic displacements mix the Stark split electron levels and lead to the establishment of a channel for energy transfer in the photon-electron-center-of-mass system. Such a channel paves the way for fast control of the kinetic energy of a free atom with the use of the parameters of an electromagnetic wave. Thus, the system kinetic energy can be decreased or increased if the detuning between the laser pulse frequency and the optical transition is positive or negative, respectively. For actual values of the detuning, the pulse duration should be an order of magnitude longer than the lifetime of the excited atomic level in order to complete the energy transfer process.

description: Historisch wie aktuell finden sich in Interviews mit Professorinnen Konstruktionen von Geschlechtsneutralität, mit denen sie versuchen, die Widersprüche zu bearbeiten, die sich aus der Meritokratienorm der Wissenschaft und gleichstellungspolitischen Versprechungen einerseits und alltäglichen Erfahrungen in der Hochschule andererseits ergeben. In einer aktuellen qualitativen Untersuchung an Hochschulen (Universitäten, Hochschulen für angewandte Wissenschaften, Kunst- und Musikhochschulen) wurden erstmals seit den 1980er-Jahren Erzählungen von Professor:innen über alltägliche Erfahrungen bzw. deren Einordnung in eine vergeschlechtlichte Organisationskultur analysiert. Zentraler Befund ist die regelmäßige und proaktive Dethematisierung von Geschlecht als relevanter Faktor für erfahrene Marginalisierungen. Diese Aussagen werden im vorliegenden Beitrag nicht als nahtlose Deskription einer heute erreichten Geschlechtsegalität gedeutet, sondern als Praktiken der Bürgschaft für eine vermeintlich erreichte geschlechterneutrale Hochschule sowie als eigene Statussicherung auf der Position als Professorin und meritokratisch anerkannte Leistungsträgerin.
Galaxy Formation in Triaxial Halos: Black Hole-Bulge-Dark Halo Correlation

description: The masses of supermassive black holes (SBHs) show correlations with bulge properties in disk and elliptical galaxies. We study the formation of galactic structure within flat-core triaxial haloes and show that these correlations can be understood within the framework of a baryonic component modifying the orbital structure in the underlying potential. In particular, we find that terminal properties of bulges and their central SBHs are constrained by the destruction of box orbits in the harmonic cores of dark haloes and the emergence of progressively less eccentric loop orbits there. SBH masses, M_SBH, should exhibit a tighter correlation with bulge velocity dispersions, sigma_B, than with bulge masses, M_B, in accord with observations, if there is a significant scatter in the M_H-sigma_H relation for the halo. In the context of this model the observed M_SBH-sigma_B relation implies that haloes should exhibit a Faber-Jackson type relationship between their masses and velocity dispersions. The most important prediction of our model is that halo properties determine the bulge and SBH parameters. The model also has important implications for galactic morphology and the process of disk formation.

description: The crystal structure of the superconductor MgCxNi3 is reported as a function of carbon concentration determined by powder neutron diffraction. The single-phase perovskite structure was found in only a narrow range of carbon content, 0.88 < x < 1.0. The superconducting transition temperature was found to decrease systematically with decreasing carbon concentration. The introduction of carbon vacancies has a significant effect on the positions of the Ni atoms. No evidence for long range magnetic ordering was seen by neutron diffraction for carbon stoichiometries within the perovskite phase stability range.
