description: Let $G = \mathrm{SCl}_n(q)$ be a quasisimple classical group with $n$ large, and let $x_1, \dots, x_k \in G$ random, where $k \geq q^C$. We show that the diameter of the resulting Cayley graph is bounded by $q^2 n^{O(1)}$ with probability $1 - o(1)$. In the particular case $G = \mathrm{SL}_n(p)$ with $p$ a prime of bounded size, we show that the same holds for $k = 3$.

description: Aerosol refractive index (RI) is related to particle composition and density, is used in optical spectroscopy studies to probe aerosol physiochemical properties during chemical reactions and gas-particle partitioning, and is important in atmospheric physics. Indeed, aerosol radiative forcing calculations require accurate descriptions of the real (n) and imaginary (k) RI components and their dependence on wavelength, humidity and particle mixing state. Using cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) and photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) to measure the extinction and absorption cross sections for mobility-selected aerosols is recognised as a good approach to retrieving n and k accurately. However, little work has assessed rigorously the sensitivity and accuracy of the retrieved values from this approach. This work investigates RI retrievals from CRDS- and PAS-measured optical properties for mobility-selected aerosols composed of ammonium sulfate (non-absorbing), nigrosin (strongly light absorbing) or a mixture of these two species. Importantly, we assess the sensitivity in our RI retrievals and then apply a Monte Carlo error propagation analysis to quantify the retrieval accuracy. Our Monte Carlo analysis is the first to account for the full range of uncertainties involved in RI retrievals from optical measurements on mobility-selected aerosol. We also report the first experimental validation of predictive RI mixing rules for non-aqueous internally mixed light absorbing aerosols by comparing mixing rule predictions with measurements for aerosol composed of internal mixtures of ammonium sulfate and nigrosin. The commonplace volume fraction mixing rule fails to predict refractive indices accurately and mixing rules with a physical basis must be used.

description: The stromata of Epichloë fungi are structures covering part of the stem of grasses. Under the fungal layer, still green tissues of the plant survive, although the development of the new leaves is inhibited. Stromata are the places where conidia and ascospores develop. Also, here Botanophila flies dine on mycelium, lay the eggs, defecate, and the larvae develop. The interaction of the three symbionts was analyzed concerning the organisms’ adaptation to understand the differences in physiology and ecology of this microenvironment that support stable symbiosis spreading presently in Europe since the beginning of the XXI century. For analysis of the infrared radiation emitted by stromata, a high-resolution infrared camera FLIR E50 was used. The visualization of stromata temperature profiles was shown in the form of pseudo-colored (false) infrared images. The 13C discrimination was used to characterize photosynthesis of the plant tissue enclosed within the stromata. The stromata had a substantially lower temperature than the green plant tissues. The difference reached ~5.6°C during midday hours, whereas it was smaller in the evening, reaching only ~3.6°C. The mycelium of Epichloë cultivated on agar showed about 2°C lower temperature in comparison to the surrounding. The plant tissues enclosed within the stroma were photosynthetically active, although this activity was of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) type and less involved in heat dissipation during the day. The stromata, built by fungal hyphae, on which fungal reproductive structures develop, form a cool shelter. This shelter provides a place for the larvae of Botanophila flies.

description: Searches for permanent electric-dipole moments (EDM) of atoms provide important constraints on competing extensions to the standard model of elementary particles. Recently proposed experiment with liquid $^{129}$Xe [M.V. Romalis and M.P. Ledbetter, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{87}, 067601 (2001)] may significantly improve present limits on the EDMs. To interpret experimental data in terms of CP-violating sources, one must relate measured atomic EDM to various model interactions via electronic-structure calculations. Here we study density dependence of atomic EDMs. The analysis is carried out in the framework of the cell model of the liquid coupled with relativistic atomic-structure calculations. We find that compared to an isolated atom, the EDM of an atom of liquid Xe is suppressed by about 40%.

description: Η ΠΦΥ αποτελεί το πρώτο επίπεδο επαφής των ατόμων, της οικογένειας και της κοινότητας με το εθνικό σύστημα υγείας. Με τη Διακήρυξη της Άλμα – Άτα το 1978, δόθηκε ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στην ενίσχυση της ΠΦΥ σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο, ενώ σαράντα χρόνια μετά, η Διακήρυξη της Αστάνα ανανέωσε την πολιτική δέσμευση για τοποθέτησή της στο επίκεντρο της παγκόσμιας υγείας. Σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης είναι η καταγραφή των απόψεων των πολιτών και η αξιοποίηση αυτών με στόχο την αναζήτηση πιο αποτελεσματικών μεθόδων για την προαγωγή της υγείας σε τοπικό επίπεδο. Η μελέτη απαρτίζεται από το θεωρητικό και το ερευνητικό μέρος. Συγκεκριμένα, στο θεωρητικό μέρος γίνεται βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση γύρω από την πρόληψη και την προαγωγή υγείας, με αναφορά σε προγράμματα που πραγματοποιούνται στην Ελλάδα και στο εξωτερικό. Το ερευνητικό μέρος περιλαμβάνει τη μεθοδολογία της έρευνας και την ανάλυση των δεδομένων για εξαγωγή των συμπερασμάτων. Για την ανάλυση χρησιμοποιήθηκε το στατιστικό πρόγραμμα SPSS Statistics 22.0 και το ερωτηματολόγιο συμπληρώθηκε από 145 πολίτες.

description: Ongoing transformations of agri-food systems in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are garnering considerable attention from policy-makers, researchers, and development partners. While a growing body of literature has examined transformations occurring within the farm production, processing and retail segments of the food systems, there has been surprisingly little attention to the so-called middle segments—trading and wholesaling. Beneficial changes in African grain markets hold considerable potential to improve livelihoods in the region, because grain-marketing costs typically account for 50-60% of the price paid for staple foods by African consumers (Jayne et al. 2010). This lack of empirical attention, particularly for staple cereals, is an important blind spot in our knowledge of recent transformations of these food systems.

description: Mechanical function of the heart during open-chest cardiac surgery is exclusively monitored by echocardiographic techniques. However, little is known about local kinematics, particularly for the reperfused regions after ischemic events. We report a novel imaging modality, which extracts local and global kinematic parameters from videos of $\textit{in situ}$ beating hearts, displaying live video cardiograms of the contraction events. A custom algorithm tracked the movement of a video marker positioned $\textit{ad hoc}$ onto a selected area and analyzed, during the entire recording, the contraction trajectory, displacement, velocity, acceleration, kinetic energy and force. Moreover, global epicardial velocity and vorticity were analyzed by means of Particle Image Velocimetry tool. We validated our new technique by i) computational modeling of cardiac ischemia, ii) video recordings of ischemic/reperfused rat hearts, iii) videos of beating human hearts before and after coronary artery bypass graft, and iv) local Frank-Starling effect. In rats, we observed a decrement of kinematic parameters during acute ischemia and a significant increment in the same region after reperfusion. We detected similar behavior in operated patients. This modality adds important functional values on cardiac outcomes and supports the intervention in a contact-free and non-invasive mode. Moreover, it does not require particular operator-dependent skills.

description: Electric-dipole matrix elements for 6p-nd, n=5, 6, 7 transitions in cesium are calculated using a relativistic all-order method. The resulting matrix elements are used to evaluate 5d lifetimes and 6p polarizabilities. The data are compared with experimental lifetime and polarizability measurements made by different groups. Domination of the 6p scalar polarizabilities by 5d-6p dipole matrix elements facilitates an exacting consistency check of 5d lifetime and 6p polarizability data. Values of 5d-6p matrix elements obtained from experimental 5d lifetime data are found to be inconsistent with those inferred from 6p polarizabilities derived from experimental Stark shift data. Our ab initio calculated 6p polarizabilities agree well with experimental determinations.

description: In recent years, Online Social Networks have become an important medium for people who suffer from mental disorders to share moments of hardship, and receive emotional and informational support. In this work, we analyze how discussions in Reddit communities related to mental disorders can help improve the health conditions of their users. Using the emotional tone of users' writing as a proxy for emotional state, we uncover relationships between user interactions and state changes. First, we observe that authors of negative posts often write rosier comments after engaging in discussions, indicating that users' emotional state can improve due to social support. Second, we build models based on SOTA text embedding techniques and RNNs to predict shifts in emotional tone. This differs from most of related work, which focuses primarily on detecting mental disorders from user activity. We demonstrate the feasibility of accurately predicting the users' reactions to the interactions experienced in these platforms, and present some examples which illustrate that the models are correctly capturing the effects of comments on the author's emotional tone. Our models hold promising implications for interventions to provide support for people struggling with mental illnesses.

description: Local government employment more than doubled between 1957 and 1977. The growth rate fell consistently in metropolitan areas over the years but remained stable in nonmetro areas. An employeepopulation ratio and employee-aggregate income ratio were both higher / in areas farther from SMSAs than in areas closer to SMSAs. Less populated areas had more employees relative to income. Different levels of employment relative to population or income may indicate varying uses of capital and labor or separate responsibilities of State and local governments rather than indicating differences in quality or quantity of services. Regions are also examined.

description: Agricultural policies are shaped by complex interactions between political, economic, social, and cultural forces, many of which are not easily understood (Binswanger and Deininger 1997). These forces are particularly magnified in the context of developing, predominantly agrarian countries, where food and agricultural policies can dramatically influence livelihoods outcomes, economic growth prospects, and political fortunes. Because of this, agricultural policy reforms are essential for achieving development objectives, and frequently incredibly difficult to achieve.

description: Southeastern integrated poultry firms consume large volumes of feed grains, at concentrated locations, continuously throughout the year. Recent legislation offers flexibility in contracting railroad freight rates and services which may be quite useful to improve the quality and price of feed grain delivery to southeastern poultry firms. However, southeastern poultry feeders have adjusted feed material storage and handling facilities to a railroad rate structure in which minimum possible freight and inventory cost is achieved by receiving 3-car shipments of corn and 1-car shipments of soybean meal. Consequently, for most poultry firms, larger delivery volumes necessary to achieve railroad rate savings with rail contracting are accompanied by increases in total handling and storage facility requirements and increased inventory costs. Increased inventory and facility upgrading costs must be compared with railroad rate savings anticipated with a contract. Before negotiating a contract, the user firm should determine the magnitude of facility upgrading and inventory expenses involved to establish the boundaries of rate concessions acceptable in a contract. This bulletin provides a method to evaluate the merits of railroad contracting for feed ingredient delivery to poultry feed mills, relative to existing delivery patterns and serves as an approach to prepare for rail contract negotiations.

description: This report provides information to help state and community leaders in North Carolina better understand changes in the state's economy, important growth issues and strategies for future economic growth. Information is provided on changes in employment, income and wages from 1960 to 1980 and expected changes in major industrial groups from 1980 to 2000. This is followed by a discussion of factors affecting economic growth, priority growth issues and strategies for future economic growth. 1be report focuses on two important issues expected to affect the rate, type and location of future economic growth in the state and implications for state and local public policies and programs. The first issue pertains to improving the levels of education, technical skills and scientific training for individuals and the level of scientific knowledge. The second issue relates to improving community institutional capacity for long-term planning, financing and implementing economic and community development programs. Other issues briefly discussed include transportation deregulation, land-use planning, water management and conservation, waste management and balanced growth.

description: A short review of the pulsed electrically detected magnetic resonance (pEDMR) experiment is presented. PEDMR allows the highly sensitive observation of coherent electron spin motion of charge carriers and defects in semiconductors by means of transient current measurements. The theoretical foundations, the experimental implementation, its sensitivity and its potential with regard to the investigation of electronic transitions in semiconductors are discussed. For the example of the P_b center at the crystalline silicon (111) to silicon dioxide interface it is shown experimentally how one can detect spin Rabi-oscillation, its dephasing, coherence decays and spin-coupling effects.

description: The autocorrelation of a sequence is a useful criterion, among all, of resistance to cryptographic attacks. The behavior of the autocorrelations of random Boolean functions (studied by Florian Caullery, Eric Férard and François Rodier [4]) shows that they are concentrated around a point. We show that the same is true for the evaluation of the periodic autocorrelations of random binary sequences.
Accelerating universe from gravitational leakage into extra dimensions: confrontation with SNeIa

description: There is mounting observational evidence that the expansion of our universe is undergoing an acceleration. A dark energy component has usually been invoked as the most feasible mechanism for the acceleration. However, it is desirable to explore alternative possibilities motivated by particle physics before adopting such an untested entity. In this work, we focus our attention on an acceleration mechanism: one arising from gravitational leakage into extra dimensions. We confront this scenario with high-$z$ type Ia supernovae compiled by Tonry et al. (2003) and recent measurements of the X-ray gas mass fractions in clusters of galaxies published by Allen et al. (2002,2003). A combination of the two databases gives at a 99% confidence level that $Ω_m=0.29^{+0.04}_{-0.02}$, $Ω_{rc}=0.21^{+0.08}_{-0.08}$, and $Ω_k=-0.36^{+0.31}_{-0.35}$, indicating a closed universe. We then constrain the model using the test of the turnaround redshift, $z_{q=0}$, at which the universe switches from deceleration to acceleration. We show that, in order to explain that acceleration happened earlier than $z_{q=0} = 0.6$ within the framework of gravitational leakage into extra dimensions, a low matter density, $Ω_m < 0.27$, or a closed universe is necessary.

Subjects: History

description: This dissertation covers the interrelationship between the ruling Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) and the filmmakers of the feature film studio at the German Film Corporation (DEFA) in the German Democratic Republic(GDR). The interactions between the two from 1945 to 1971reveal a great deal about the overarching cultural-­‐ ideological framework of the SED, and the ideologicaldevelopment of the GDR. As the sole ruling party of the GDR, the SED maintained a strong hold over the country,and developed an effective party-­‐state, in which the partymirrored all state offices and maintained strong ties to everyaspect of the state. This dissertation is chronologicallysplit between 5 chapters, each covering a separate five yearperiod of time from 1945 to 1971. These years bookendthe first era for the GDR, and go from its founding until thefirst head of the SED, and head of the GDR, Walter Ulbrichtwas removed from power in 1971. This period highlightsthe developmental era for the GDR, and its emergence asa stable political state. For DEFA this period covers itsfoundation through its most difficult moment in 1965, inwhich the leadership of the SED banned all 12 films produced by DEFA that year, and its years of renewedstability thereafter. The use of a specific political era todefine the chorological boundaries for this dissertationallows for a deeper comparative view, in which eachchapter covers the developments of film policy by the SED,then looks as how filmmakers at DEFA who were SED members interpreted the policy, and then covers an exemplar film from that specific period. When taken incombination the dissertation tells three distinct, but directlyrelated stories, that of the development of film policy bythe SED, the struggles of filmmakers to interpret and implement policy at their studio, and the shifts in filmmakingand ideology in film.

description: We present a novel relaxation method to build three-dimensional rotating structures of barotropic bodies using the SPH technique. The method is able to relax gaseous structures in rigid as well as differential rotation. The relaxation procedure strongly relies on the excellent conservation of angular momentum that characterizes the SPH technique. The method has been successfully applied to a variety of zero-temperature white dwarfs and polytropic self-gravitating structures. Our SPH results have been validated by comparing the main features (energies, central densities and the polar to equatorial radius ratio) to those obtained with independent, albeit grid-based methods, as for example, the self-consistent field method, showing that both methods agree within few percents.

description: We found experimentally that the elasticity of sunflower oil-in-water emulsions (SFO-in-W) stabilized by Yucca Schidigera Roezl saponin extract, is by more than 50 times higher as compared to the elasticity of common emulsions. We revealed that strong specific interactions between the phytosterols from the non-purified oil and the saponins from the Yucca extract lead to the formation of nanostructured adsorption layers which are responsible for the very high elasticity of the oil-water interface and of the respective bulk emulsions. Remarkably, this extra high emulsion elasticity inhibits the emulsion syneresis even at 65 vol % of the oil drops. These emulsions remain homogeneous and stable even after 30 days of shelf-storage. These results demonstrate that the combination of saponin and phytosterols is a powerful new approach to structure oil-in-water emulsions with potential applications for formulating healthier functional food.

description: The recent rise of populist and illiberal actors in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the concomitant democratic backsliding has generated notable scholarly interest; however, the implications of populism for cultural policy remain understudied. Since culture defines popular tastes and shapes interpretations of national identity and history, we adopt a comparative perspective to evaluate what impact these actors had on cultural policies between 2010 and 2023, using a combination of qualitative analysis of discursive and legislative changes, and quantitative text analysis. The findings indicate that the instrumentalization of cultural policies has been a function of ideology: while the ‘thick ideological’, radical right populist governing parties of Hungary and Poland abused culture as a vehicle for transmitting their nationalist narratives, their ‘thin populist’, technocratic Czech and Slovak counterparts took a more pragmatic approach to cultural policy. These findings highlight the impact of populist ideology with thick, cultural features on cultural policy.

description: We use plot-level data from the National Panel Survey to estimate maize - N respon se rates and the profitability of inorganic fertilizer use. We find that average smallholder maize-N response rates are not even 50% of those from zonal center trials, implying that there is a considerable gap between actual and potential returns from fertilizer use. Fertilizer use on maize is only marginally profitable for farmers with average response rates, even in higher potential zones. Farmers who used improved maize seed, fallowed a plot more recently and/or received an extension visit have higher response rates and more profitable fertilizer use, yet fallowing is infrequent and extension does not reach most farmers.

description: Generalizing the star graphs of Müller-Stach and Westrich, we describe a class of graphs whose associated graph hypersurface is equipped with a non-trivial torus action. For such graphs, we show that the Euler characteristic of the corresponding projective graph hypersurface complement is zero. In contrast, we also show that the Euler characteristic in question can take any integer value for a suitable graph. This disproves a conjecture of Aluffi in a strong sense.

Venturing beyond the ISCO: Detecting X-ray emission from the plunging regions around black holes

description: We explore how X-ray reverberation around black holes may reveal the presence of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO), predicted by General Relativity, and probe the dynamics of the plunging region between the ISCO and the event horizon. Being able to directly detect the presence of the ISCO and probe the dynamics of material plunging through the event horizon represents a unique test of general relativity in the strong field regime. X-ray reverberation off of the accretion disc and material in the plunging region is modelled using general relativistic ray tracing simulations. X-ray reverberation from the plunging region has a minimal effect on the time-averaged X-ray spectrum and the overall lag-energy spectrum, but is manifested in the lag in the highest frequency Fourier components, above 0.01 c^3 (GM)^-1 (scaled for the mass of the black hole) in the 2-4keV energy band for a non-spinning black hole or the 1-2keV energy band for a maximally spinning black hole. The plunging region is distinguished from disc emission not just by the energy shifts characteristic of plunging orbits, but by the rapid increase in ionisation of material through the plunging region. Detection requires measurement of time lags to an accuracy of 20 per cent at these frequencies. Improving accuracy to 12 per cent will enable constraints to be placed on the dynamics of material in the plunging region and distinguish plunging orbits from material remaining on stable circular orbits, confirming the existence of the ISCO, a prime discovery space for future X-ray missions.

description: Im Rahmen der Diskussion um den erweiterten Inklusionsbegriff ist der schulische Umgang mit individuell ausgeprägten Begabungen eine Frage der Bildungsgerechtigkeit. Die adäquate Förderung heterogener Leistungsdispositionen im Physikunterricht stellt jedoch eine Herausforderung für die Physiklehrkräfte dar. Eine Möglichkeit, diesen Anforderungen zu begegnen, wird in der diagnosebasierten Differenzierung von Lernangeboten und Leistungsanforderungen mittels komplexer Lernaufgaben gesehen. Das an der Freien Universität Berlin verortete Projekt DiaMINT Physik greift diese Bedarfe im Rahmen der BMBF-Initiative Leistung macht Schule (LemaS) auf. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden konzeptionelle Anforderungen für die Konstruktion komplexer Lernaufgaben theoretisch fundiert sowie im Projekt entwickelte Aufgaben exemplarisch vorgestellt. Darüber hinaus wird aufgezeigt, inwiefern sich komplexe Lernaufgaben in Zeiten von Corona für das Lernen auf Distanz eignen.
Is the cluster of galaxies "Abell 194" surrounded by an Einstein-Straus vacuole?

description: It is suggested that an ``Einstein-Straus vacuole'' -- a region of space time with a metric obtained by solving the equations of general relativity of a mass condensation in an expanding universe with vanishing cosmological constant -- surrounds the cluster of galaxies ``Abell 194''. This hypothesis is shown to predict a distribution of galaxy redshifts that is in better accord with observations than the one expected in the cosmological concordance model.
