description: We demonstrate a large enhancement of the spin accumulation in monolayer graphene following electron-beam induced deposition of an amorphous carbon layer at the ferromagnet-graphene interface. The enhancement is 10^4-fold when graphene is deposited onto poly(methyl metacrylate) (PMMA) and exposed with sufficient electron-beam dose to cross-link the PMMA, and 10^3-fold when graphene is deposited directly onto SiO2 and exposed with identical dose. We attribute the difference to a more efficient carbon deposition in the former case due to an increase in the presence of compounds containing carbon, which are released by the PMMA. The amorphous carbon interface can sustain very large current densities without degrading, which leads to very large spin accumulations exceeding 500 microeVs at room temperature.

description: The study describes on AIDA figures, Bureau van Dijk, and it describe economic and financial performance of the Italian breweries. An application of the multivariate analysis identifies four-five factors and three homogeneous clusters that explain the differences and similarities in the economic and financial performance of Italian breweries. The results of the non-parametric convergence are able to compare the clusters relative to 2008 and 2012. This analysis confirms the hypothesis of a convergence of industrial and crafts breweries towards a common strategy and a financial position. In fact, the analysis of 11 fiscal indicators of 27 productive units, has shown that the Italian brewing sector has also resisted well in a period of general economic difficulty.

description: Introduction: Early supported discharge (ESD) is well established as a model of health service delivery for people with stroke. Emerging evidence indicates that ESD also reduces the length of stay for older medical inpatients. There is a dearth of evidence exploring the views of stakeholders on ESD as a model of care for older medical inpatients. The overall aim of this study is to explore the views and perceptions of older adults, family carers and healthcare professionals on the potential role of ESD for older adults admitted to hospital with medical complaints.Methods: Purposeful sampling was used to recruit older adults and family carers for interview. For Healthcare Professionals (HCPs), snowball purposeful sampling was used. Phone interviews took place following a semi-structured interview guide. Focus groups were moderated by A-MM. Braun and Clarke’s approach to thematic analysis was used. Ethical approval was granted by the HSE Mid?Western Area Regional Ethics Committee in November 2021 (REC Ref. 096/2021).Results: Fifteen HCPs took part across three focus groups, with six older adults and two family members participating in one-to-one interviews. Three themes were identified: 1. Pre-ESD experiences of providing and receiving older adult inpatient care, 2. Navigating discharge procedures from acute hospital services, 3. A vision for more integrated model of care and a medical ESD team.Discussion: This study provided insight into the current discharge experiences of older adult care in the acute setting, the potential role for ESD in this population and the key factors that would need to be considered for the running of an ESD service for older adults admitted to hospital with medical complaints.Conclusion: This research highlights the barriers and facilitators to ESD for older medical inpatients from the perspectives of key stakeholders. Given the adverse outcomes associated with prolonged hospital stay, these findings will help inform the development of a feasibility trial, examining patient and process outcomes for older adults admitted to hospital with medical complaints who receive an ESD intervention.
Out-of-Band Radiation Measure for MIMO Arrays with Beamformed Transmission

description: The spatial characteristics of the out-of-band radiation that a multiuser MIMO system emits in the environment, due to its power amplifiers (modeled by a polynomial model) are nonlinear, is studied by deriving an analytical expression for the continuous-time cross-correlation of the transmit signals. At a random spatial point, the same power is received at any frequency on average with a MIMO base station as with a SISO base station when the two radiate the same amount of power. For a specific channel realization however, the received power depends on the channel. We show that the power received out-of-band only deviates little from the average in a MIMO system with multiple users and that the deviation can be significant with only one user. Using an ergodicity argument, we conclude that out-of-band radiation is less of a problem in massive MIMO, where total radiated power is lower compared to SISO systems and that requirements on spectral regrowth can be relaxed in MIMO systems without causing more total out-of-band radiation.

description: The well known relation for ideal classical gas $Δε^2=kT^2 C_V$ which does not remain valid for quantum system is revisited. A new connection is established between energy fluctuation and specific heat for quantum gases, valid in the classical limit and the degenerate quantum regime as well. Most importantly the proposed Biswas-Mitra-Bhattacharyya (BMB) conjecture (Biswas $et.$ $al.$, J. Stat. Mech. P03013, 2015.) relating hump in energy fluctuation and discontinuity of specific heat is proved and precised in this manuscript.

description: This study sets out to contribute to the understanding of current practices in digitization projects at small and medium-sized cultural heritage institutions by interviewing digitization project managers at four of these institutions and analyzing their responses as case studies. The overarching theme of this study is the necessary transition from project to program at these institutions, and what these institutions are doing to make this transition. Additionally, this study looks at digital storage media and repository management at these institutions, which is an under-documented area of current practices. Through the use of a literature review and four case studies, several recommendations are made for improving the state of the art of digital preservation at these institutions and preparing them for the transition of digitization projects to digital programs.

description: Some ancient, dim, metal-poor stars may have formed in the ashes of the first supernovae (SNe). If their chemical abundances can be reconciled with the elemental yields of specific Population III (Pop III) explosions, they could reveal the properties of primordial stars. But multidimensional simulations of such explosions are required to predict their yields because dynamical instabilities can dredge material up from deep in the ejecta that would otherwise be predicted to fall back on to the central remnant and be lost in one-dimensional (1D) models. We have performed two-dimensional (2D) numerical simulations of two low-energy Pop III SNe, a 12.4 Msun explosion and a 60 Msun explosion, and find that they produce elemental yields that are a good fit to those measured in the most iron-poor star discovered to date, SMSS J031300.36-670839.3 (J031300). Fallback on to the compact remnant in these weak explosions accounts for the lack of measurable iron in J031300 and its low iron-group abundances in general. Our 2D explosions produce higher abundances of heavy elements (atomic number Z > 20) than their 1D counterparts due to dredge-up by fluid instabilities. Since almost no Ni is ejected by these weak SNe, their low luminosities will prevent their detection in the near-infrared with the James Webb Space Telescope and future 30-m telescopes on the ground. The only evidence that they ever occurred will be in the fossil abundance record.

description: The paper analyses the implementation of the RDP 2007-2013 for Sicily up to 31/12/2013, with particular reference to the Measure 112 and its related measures (Young People Package). By collecting and subsequently analysing different information categories (financial, physical, procedural and expert opinion) it’s clear the remarkable success of the Measure 112 in terms of eligible applications, of which only 1/3 funded, due to the limited programmed budget. Referring to the integrated approach, also through the “face to face” interviews to the regional officials, it emerges the low expenditure speed of the Package-related measures, due to critical economic situation, red tape issues, difficult access to credit and the short time for realizing investments, disregarding in this case the achievement of the set objectives.

description: We consider a modified gravity theory, $f(R)=R+αR^n-\frac{μ^4}{R^m}$, in the metric formulation and analyze the contribution of electromagnetic field on the range of dynamical instability of a star filled with anisotropic matter. The collapse equation is developed by applying conservation on anisotropic matter, Maxwell source and dark source terms arising due to $f(R)$ gravity. Specific perturbation scheme is implemented and it is observed that the inclusion of Maxwell source slows down the collapse and makes system more stable in Newtonian regime. Also, we make comparison of our results with the existing literature.

Year: 2015

description: In a troubled time, the Common agricultural policy (CAP) again decisively influences farms’ strategic choices. Therefore, the need to enhance the net farm income (NFI) has remained one of its cornerstones. The so-called “national flexibility” offered the opportunity to improve consistency between national targets and political decisions to allow a greater effectiveness of public resources. These tasks were particularly intricate for the Italian Government, which had to face the consequences of the overall reduction of ceilings for direct payments. Considering that the choice of a specific internal convergence model affects the profitability of many farms, this represents one of the most relevant decisions Italy had to take. The article aims at analysing and comparing how convergence models might differently impact on net farm incomes.

Content analysis

description: The following study is a qualitative analysis of the content of 30 academic library privacy policies.  These policies were analyzed to identify how libraries approach patron privacy through published policies.  The key findings of the study include that there is a strong focus on legislation and regulatory compliance among academic libraries. Notably, there was a smaller focus on information regarding how personal records may be released and to whom they were released. Among libraries studied, there was little reference to ALA practices, policy making ethics or other guidelines. Finally, there was little emphasis on information regarding patron consent and release of information. With the advent of newer technologies and a greater population of individuals able to use and understand them, libraries must implement a variety of measures to protect patrons private records and information.

Art research

description: This study looks at the information-seeking behaviors of students enrolled in studio art courses at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and the students' perceptions of the effectiveness of the library instruction session within their art courses. In an effort to contribute new findings to the established discourse on this topic, surveys were distributed to graduate and undergraduate students to determine similarities and differences in behaviors and perceptions. The results of the survey echo the findings of earlier literature on the information-seeking behaviors of studio art students, reinforcing the idea that this population seeks creative inspiration for their works from a variety of sources. Survey results also reveal that a majority of responders have attended library instruction sessions as part of a studio art course and have found these sessions useful in various ways when conducting research for art-based projects.

description: The junction conditions for the most general gravitational theory with a Lagrangian containing terms quadratic in the curvature are derived. We include the cases with a possible concentration of matter on the joining hypersurface -termed as thin shells, domain walls or braneworlds in the literature- as well as the proper matching conditions where only finite jumps of the energy-momentum tensor are allowed. In the latter case we prove that the matching conditions are more demanding than in General Relativity. In the former case, we show that generically the shells/domain walls are of a new kind because they possess, in addition to the standard energy-momentum tensor, a double layer energy-momentum contribution which actually induces an external energy flux vector and an external scalar pressure/tension on the shell. We prove that all these contributions are necessary to make the entire energy-momentum tensor divergence-free, and we present the field equations satisfied by these energy-momentum quantities. The consequences of all these results are briefly analyzed.

description: Among the specific evaluation questions outlined by the Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, one of them relates to the improvement of governance. For overcoming the absence of indicators, this work aims at contributing to the governance assessment process. Assuming that the Adaptive Co-Management approach offers an interesting theoretical framework, the Adaptive Co-Management capacity is adopted as a proxy measure of the quality of network governance. It has been investigated by means of three principles (collective action, social learning, resilience) and related indicators. The proposed methodology is subsequently tested through the evaluation of the local network governance of two case studies in the South of Italy.

description: We study a class of orientifold compactifications of type IIB supergravity with fluxes down to 4D in connection with truncations of half-maximal gauged supergravities yielding isotropic STU-models with minimal supersymmetry. In this context, we make use of a group-theoretical approach in order to derive flux-induced superpotentials for different IIB backgrounds. We first review the toroidal case yielding GKP-like superpotentials characterised by their \emph{no-scale} behaviour. We then turn to $S^{3} \times S^{3}$ and $S^{3} \times \mathbb{T}^{3}$, which, surprisingly, give rise to effective descriptions of non-geometric $Q$- and $P$-fluxes through globally geometric non-toroidal compactifications. As a consequence, such constructions break the no-scale symmetry without invoking any non-perturbative effects.

description: We study the luminescence of unintentionally doped and Si-doped In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N nanowires with a low In content (x<0.2) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Si substrates. The emission band observed at 300 K from the unintentionally doped samples is centered at much lower energies (800 meV) than expected from the In content measured by x-ray diffractometry and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. This discrepancy arises from the pinning of the Fermi level at the sidewalls of the nanowires, which gives rise to strong radial built-in electric fields. The combination of the built-in electric fields with the compositional fluctuations inherent to (In,Ga)N alloys induces a competition between spatially direct and indirect recombination channels. At elevated temperatures, electrons at the core of the nanowire recombine with holes close to the surface, and the emission from unintentionally doped nanowires exhibits a Stark shift of several hundreds of meV. The competition between spatially direct and indirect transitions is analyzed as a function of temperature for samples with various Si concentrations. We propose that the radial Stark effect is responsible for the broadband absorption of (In,Ga)N nanowires across the entire visible range, which makes these nanostructures a promising platform for solar energy applications.

Gifted children

description: This paper is a content analysis of seventeen chapter books geared towards upper elementary and middle school aged children that feature twenty-three intellectually gifted child characters.  The books were analyzed for the presence of themes mentioned in literature on the subject (isolation and resulting desire for acceptance, normalcy, and belonging) as well as gifted stereotypes often seen in media.  The overall portrayal in the books of the gifted population's abilities was then compared to the real distribution of cognitive abilities in the population.  Themes were largely handled well, with positive resolution for most characters, and stereotypes were mostly avoided.  There was, however, an overrepresentation of profoundly intellectually gifted characters.

description: Quantum properties of optical modes are typically assessed by observing their photon statistics or the distribution of their quadratures. Both particle- and wave-like behaviours deliver important information, and each may be used as a resource in quantum-enhanced technologies. Weak-field homodyne detection provides a scheme which combines the wave- and particle-like descriptions. Here we show that it is possible to observe a wave-like property such as the optical coherence across Fock basis states in the detection statistics derived from discrete photon counting. We experimentally demonstrate these correlations using two weak-field homodyne detectors on each mode of two classes of two-mode entangled states. Furthermore, we theoretically describe the response of weak-field homodyne detection on a two-mode squeezed state in the context of generalised Bell inequalities. Our work demonstrates the potential of this technique as a tool for hybrid continuous/discrete-variable protocols on a phenomenon that explicitly combines both approaches.

description: One of the goals for attendees at any conference is to participate in as many sessions as possible. At most conferences, however, sessions are offered simultaneously, which makes it impossible to attend everything. The Winnipeg Conference Committee addressed this challenge by providing a conference-ending plenary session designed to summarize the key points explored in every session. This article reflects the key observations made by the three conference rapporteurs who followed sessions in each of the conference's three thematic streams: The Changing World, The Changing Profession, and The Changing Community.

Canonical Transformations and Loop Formulation of SU(N) Lattice Gauge Theories

description: We construct canonical transformations to reformulate SU(N) Kogut-Susskind lattice gauge theory in terms of a set of fundamental loop & string flux operators along with their canonically conjugate loop & string electric fields. We show that as a consequence of SU(N) Gauss laws all SU(N) string degrees of freedom become cyclic and decouple from the physical Hilbert space ${\cal H}^p$. The canonical relations between the initial SU(N) link operators and the final SU(N) loop & string operators over the entire lattice are worked out in a self consistent manner. The Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian rewritten in terms of the fundamental physical loop operators has global SU(N) invariance. There are no gauge fields. We further show that the $(1/g^2)$ magnetic field terms on plaquettes create and annihilate the fundamental plaquette loop fluxes while the $(g^2)$ electric field terms describe all their interactions. In the weak coupling ($g^2 \rightarrow 0$) continuum limit the SU(N) loop dynamics is described by SU(N) spin Hamiltonian with nearest neighbour interactions. In the simplest SU(2) case, where the canonical transformations map the SU(2) loop Hilbert space into the Hilbert spaces of hydrogen atoms, we analyze the special role of the hydrogen atom dynamical symmetry group $SO(4,2)$ in the loop dynamics and the spectrum. A simple tensor network ansatz in the SU(2) gauge invariant hydrogen atom loop basis is discussed.

Correlations in interacting electron liquids: Many-body statistics and hyperuniformity

description: Disordered hyperuniform many-body systems are exotic states of matter with novel optical, transport, and mechanical properties. These systems are characterized by an anomalous suppression of large-scale density fluctuations compared to typical liquids, i.e., the structure factor obeys the scaling relation $S(k)\sim \mathcal{B}k^α$ with $\mathcal{B}, α>0$ in the limit $k$\,$\rightarrow$\,$ 0$. Ground-state $d$-dimensional free fermionic gases, which are fundamental models for many metals and semiconductors, are key examples of \textit{quantum} disordered hyperuniform states with important connections to random matrix theory. However, the effects of electron-electron interactions as well as the polarization of the electron liquid on hyperuniformity have not been explored thus far. In this work, we systematically address these questions by deriving the analytical small-$k$ behaviors (and associatedly, $α$ and $\mathcal{B}$) of the total and spin-resolved structure factors of quasi-1D, 2D, and 3D electron liquids for varying polarizations and interaction parameters. We validate that these equilibrium disordered ground states are hyperuniform, as dictated by the fluctuation-compressibility relation. Interestingly, free fermions, partially polarized interacting fermions, and fully polarized interacting fermions are characterized by different values of the small-$k$ scaling exponent $α$ and coefficient $\mathcal{B}$. In particular, partially polarized fermionic liquids exhibit a unique form of \textit{multihyperuniformity}, in which the net configuration exhibits a stronger form of hyperuniformity (i.e., larger $α$) than each individual spin component.

description: During the last few minutes of his keynote address at the 1997 CIP Conference in Winnipeg, Angus Reid admitted that he is not sure what planners do for a living and even suggested that we might want to change our name. Well Mr. Reid, join the club! Most Canadians do not have a clear understanding of what community planning is about, and those who do usually associate planning with the regulatory aspect of our work-the troublemaker side of our profession's personality. Planning is a multifaceted profession, and it is time to move out of the backrooms and into the forefront.
description: Vers la fin de son discours au congrès de 1997 de l'ICU, à Winnipeg, Angus Reid a admis qu'il ne savait pas exactement ce que les urbanistes faisaient comme travail et il a même suggéré que nous changions de nom. Bienvenue à notre club, M. Reid! La plupart des Canadiens n'ont pas une idée claire de ce qu'est l'urbanisme et ceux qui en ont une associent habituellement l'urbanisme à l'aspect réglemencaire de notre travail, c'est-à-dire le côté trouble-fête de la personnalité de notre profession. L'urbanisme est une profession aux facettes multiples et le moment est venu de sortir de l'ombre et de mieux rious faire connaître.

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an exciting and fascinating research area in computer science emerging to develop machines with human intelligence or human behaviour. One of the goals in AI is to develop algorithms and techniques based on the study of pinnacle of intelligence, human brain. The new direction makes a breakthrough in AI while facilitating powerful clues to the neuroscience to understand the unrevealed mechanisms in human brain. The traditional means of manipulating visual inputs by artificial systems are highly dependent on human intervention. A study of human vision system can be considered as a promising direction towards achieving truly intelligent artificial vision system. In this thesis, the main contribution is to investigate the human visual system from biological and psychological perspective and propose a new model for artificial perception. The new model, Artificial Model for Visual Perception (AMVP), accumulates knowledge from the environment in different aspects and abstraction levels and generate interpretations similar way to the humans using past experiences. The AMVP model is domain independent and has the flexibility to tailor for any situation. The subsequent aim of the thesis is to propose implementation architecture for the conceptual framework. Our implementation was based on the structure adaptive neural network. The conceptual model is applied in a real-life image data set and the functionalities of the proposed model are demonstrated. The difficulties faced during the feature extraction from the images for implementation of the conceptual model encouraged us to perform an analysis of differences between the visual inputs received by humans and artificial systems. This study continues to investigate the differences between subsequent stages of the human visual pathway with the methods used by artificial systems. This thesis also propose a possible representation for an artificial percept.

Library closings

description: In the past four years, the Washington State Library has fended off two attempts by the governor to close its doors. As a consequence, the State Library was changed from being an independent entity to being under the jurisdiction of the Office of the Secretary of State. This study looks at the programmatic and structural effects of this change and the strategies implemented by the library to become more visible, useful, and relevant to the needs of patrons, both now and in the future. Introducing measures to increase access and awareness of library resources, especially electronically and through partnerships, have become a significant focus of the remade Washington State Library.
100 Jahre Hind Swaraj

description: Frieden und Stabilität der einzelnen Staaten wie auch der Region Südasien als ganzer entscheiden sich an der Frage, ob es gelingt, die tief vergewurzelten multi- und interkulturellen Erfahrungen der Menschen in einen kritisch-reflexiven Modernitätsdiskurs einzubinden. Etwas in der Art hatte auch schon Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948 ) mit seiner Programmschrift Hind Swaraj vor Augen. Hind Swaraj („Indiens Selbstregierung“) verfasste der erst seit 1915 Mahatma („einer, der eine große Seele hat“) genannte Gandhi – in Indien auch liebevoll Bapuji („Vater“) genannt – vor 100 Jahren (1909) auf der Schiffsfahrt von Südafrika nach Westindien und ließ das Buch kurz darauf in Gujarati und dann in Englisch verlegen.
