description: Scanning X-ray nanodiffraction on a highly periodic ferroelectric domain pattern of a strained K0.75Na0.25NbO3 epitaxial layer has been performed by using a focused X-ray beam of about 100 14;nm probe size. A 90°-rotated domain variant which is aligned along [1 2]TSO has been found in addition to the predominant domain variant where the domains are aligned along the [12]TSO direction of the underlying (110) TbScO3 (TSO) orthorhombic substrate. Owing to the larger elastic strain energy density, the 90°-rotated domains appear with significantly reduced probability. Furthermore, the 90°-rotated variant shows a larger vertical lattice spacing than the 0°-rotated domain variant. Calculations based on linear elasticity theory substantiate that this difference is caused by the elastic anisotropy of the K0.75Na0.25NbO3 epitaxial layer.

description: In the present paper we study the behavior of the normalized $I$-$Q$ relation for neutron stars in a particular class of $f(R)$ theories of gravity, namely the $R^2$ gravity that is one of the most natural and simplest extensions of general relativity in the strong field regime. We study both the slowly and rapidly rotating cases. The results show that the $I$-$Q$ relation remain nearly equation of state independent for fixed values of the normalized rotational parameter, but the deviations from universality can be a little bit larger compared to the general relativistic case. What is the most interesting in our studies, is that the differences with the pure Einstein's theory can be large reaching above 20\%. This is qualitative different from the majority of alternative theories of gravity, where the normalized $I$-$Q$ relations are almost indistinguishable from the general relativistic case, and can lead to observational constraints on the $f(R)$ theories in the future.

description: Based on the growing importance of place-based strategic intelligence, this article puts forward a conceptual framework for a new methodological approach to influence the shaping of subnational economic development. The novel Opportunity Areas Analysis Tool has been designed and deployed in the context of a City Region Deal in Scotland, UK. We define key trends, map core capabilities and assess exploitation capacities for data-driven innovation economic opportunities. We critically appraise the effectiveness of this approach for the creation of inclusive place-based future visions and narratives, and the alignment of technological opportunities within diverse geographical (e.g., semi-rural and rural) and sectoral conditions.

description: This paper explores the long-term persistence of interregional differences in self-employment rates. The analysis, based on spatial Durbin error models, was performed for 206 Czech regions from 1930 to 2011. The results obtained supported the ‘persistence claim’ because regional self-employment rates in 1930 were found to be positively and significantly associated with those obtained in 1991, 2001 and 2011. Moreover, this study contributes to the knowledge about transmission channels of historical entrepreneurial experience. First, a new mechanism related to the career and educational paths of individuals with a pre-socialist entrepreneurial family background is suggested. Second, the newcomers’ capacity to absorb knowledge and skills is emphasized as crucial for the functioning of pre-socialist ‘entrepreneurial memory’.

description: The planetary exospheres are poorly known in their outer parts, since the neutral densities are low compared with the instruments detection capabilities. The exospheric models are thus often the main source of information at such high altitudes. We present a new way to take into account analytically the additional effect of the stellar radiation pressure on planetary exospheres. In a series of papers, we present with an Hamiltonian approach the effect of the radiation pressure on dynamical trajectories, density profiles and escaping thermal flux. Our work is a generalization of the study by Bishop and Chamberlain (1989). In this third paper, we investigate the effect of the stellar radiation pressure on the Circular Restricted Three Body Problem (CR3BP), called also the photogravitational CR3BP, and its implication on the escape and the stability of planetary exospheres, especially for Hot Jupiters. In particular, we describe the transformation of the equipotentials and the location of the Lagrange points, and we provide a modified equation for the Hill sphere radius that includes the influence of the radiation pressure. Finally, an application to the hot Jupiter HD 209458b reveals the existence of a blow-off escape regime induced by the stellar radiation pressure.

description: In a seminal publication on computational and comparative musicology, Nicholas Cook argued more than a decade ago that recent developments in computational musicology presented a significant opportunity for disciplinary renewal. Musicology, he said, was on the brink of new phase wherein “objective representations of music” could be rapidly and accurately compared and analysed using computers. Cook’s largely retrospective conspectus of what I and others now call digital musicology— following the vogue of digital humanities—might seem prophetical, yet in other ways it cannot be faulted for missing its mark when it came to developments in the following decade. While Cook laid the blame for its delayed advent on the cultural turn in musicology, digital musicology today—which is more a way of enhancing musicological research than a particular approach in its own right—is on the brink of another revolution of sorts that promises to bring diverse disciplinary branches closer together. In addition to the extension of types of computer-assisted analysis already familiar to Cook, new generic models of data capable of linking music, image (including digitisations of music notation), sound and documentation are poised to leverage musicology into the age of the semantic World Wide Web. At the same time, advanced forms of computer modelling are being developed that simulate historical modes of listening and improvisation, thereby beginning to address research questions relevant to current debates in music cognition, music psychology and cultural studies, and musical creativity in the Middle Ages, Renaissance and beyond.

description: Recent scholarship on the impact of neoliberalism in education centers on the creation of policies, curricula, and programming, positioning education as a system that produces marketable, entrepreneurially-minded, global workers (DeLissovoy, 2015; Peters, 2017). What is less known are the ways in which economic principles and mechanisms work in school systems, and how these changes affect teachers and social studies disciplines. Through a critical discourse analysis of policy and other official education documents, interviews, and focus groups with experienced administrators and social studies teachers in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, I argue that changes in education policy between 1994-2016 have altered the purpose of public education, entangling schooling with economic and accountability goals of the province. The purpose of this qualitative study is threefold: first, using Foucault’s (2008), and later Stephen Ball’s (2013a) theorization, I investigate the extent to which neoliberal governmentality shaped education policy changes in Nova Scotia between 1994-2016. Second, I examine how these changes implicate educators in practice, including the ways teachers perceive changes to their jobs over the last decade. Lastly, I explore the state of high school social studies in Nova Scotia as a site to test the micro-effects of neoliberalism and governmentality in changing policies and practices in education. I conclude that neoliberal governmentality has emerged in distinct patterns in Nova Scotia, which articulate with specific policy technologies and practices in education. Such patterns include the strategic use of economic and educational crises to forward neoliberal policy reform, the expansion of governmental mechanisms to track student and teacher performance, and the dis-articulation of social studies disciplines from the education system.

description: Background: In addition to conventional chemotherapeutics, nucleic acid-based therapeutics like antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AS-ODN) represent a novel approach for the treatment of bladder cancer (BCa). An efficient delivery of AS-ODN to the urothelium and then into cancer cells might be achieved by the local application of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). In the present study, pristine MWCNT and MWCNT functionalized with hydrophilic moieties were synthesized and then investigated regarding their physicochemical characteristics, dispersibility, biocompatibility, cellular uptake and mucoadhesive properties. Finally, their binding capacity for AS-ODN via hybridization to carrier strand oligodeoxynucleotides (CS-ODN), which were either non-covalently adsorbed or covalently bound to the different MWCNT types, was evaluated. Results: Pristine MWCNT were successfully functionalized with hydrophilic moieties (MWCNT-OH, -COOH, -NH2, -SH), which led to an improved dispersibility and an enhanced dispersion stability. A viability assay revealed that MWCNT-OH, MWCNT-NH2 and MWCNT-SH were most biocompatible. All MWCNT were internalized by BCa cells, whereupon the highest uptake was observed for MWCNT-OH with 40% of the cells showing an engulfment. Furthermore, all types of MWCNT could adhere to the urothelium of explanted mouse bladders, but the amount of the covered urothelial area was with 2-7% rather low. As indicated by fluorescence measurements, it was possible to attach CS-ODN by adsorption and covalent binding to functionalized MWCNT. Adsorption of CS-ODN to pristine MWCNT, MWCNT-COOH and MWCNT-NH2 as well as covalent coupling to MWCNT-NH2 and MWCNT-SH resulted in the best binding capacity and stability. Subsequently, therapeutic AS-ODN could be hybridized to and reversibly released from the CS-ODN coupled via both strategies to the functionalized MWCNT. The release of AS-ODN at experimental conditions (80 °C, buffer) was most effective from CS-ODN adsorbed to MWCNT-OH and MWCNT-NH2 as well as from CS-ODN covalently attached to MWCNT-COOH, MWCNT-NH2 and MWCNT-SH. Furthermore, we could exemplarily demonstrate that AS-ODN could be released following hybridization to CS-ODN adsorbed to MWCNT-OH at physiological settings (37 °C, urine). Conclusions: In conclusion, functionalized MWCNT might be used as nanotransporters in antisense therapy for the local treatment of BCa.

description: The use of two different chelating redox active ligands, 2,6-bis(6-methyl-1,2,4,5-3-yl) pyridine (BTZP) and 2,6-bis-(5,6-dialkyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-pyridine (BTP) in heterometallic first row and second row transition metal chemistry has yielded two new families of redox active metal complexes. These complexes were found to exhibit interesting electrochemical and magnetic properties. In this thesis, Chapter 1 lays the foundation for the research presented within. This section covers the fundamentals of the ligand design, ligand synthesis and related coordination chemistry literature review. Chapters 2 and 3 report the results of the current thesis. In Chapter 2, the synthesis and characterization of a family of discrete molecules and supramolecular arrangements, employing the ligand BTZP, is presented. All of the complexes presented in Chapter 2 are successfully synthesized and characterized with electrochemical and magnetic studies. According to the electrochemical data, it is found that the classic “terpy-like” complexes with [Co(BTZP) 2]2+ formula fosters more stability in the redox process. In Chapter 3, a family of transition metal complexes with [M(BTP) 2]2+ (M=Fe or Co) inorganic cores were obtained through the employment of the ligand BTP with various anions. In addition, dimeric molecules with [CoX4(BTP)2] formula were also obtained by solvothermal synthesis. The complexes were also electrochemically characterized, with all the complexes capable of being reduced, while only [CoII(BTP)2] (ClO4)2 showed reversible redox process. Similar with BTZP, the series of BTP based complexes are also characterized through magnetic measurement. Only cobalt-based BTP complexes are paramagnetic, with [CoII(BTP)2]2+ being spin crossover active when BF4- and ClO4- are present. However, the presence of NCS- and halides lead to either antiferromagnetic interactions and ferromagnetic interactions dominating at different temperature regimes.

description: The last two decades have witnessed a surge in interest in the smart–sustainable city, but it remains unclear how smart cities can achieve the multifaceted goals of sustainable development, such as ecological performance, human development and sustainability efficiency. This study performs a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) of 35 Chinese large smart cities through configurational theorizing of the smart–sustainable city nexus. The findings not only reveal the causal complexity of constructing smart cities to achieve urban sustainability, but also develop a taxonomy of smart city configurations leading to ecological performance or human development, namely, duplex-centric, eco-centric, human-centric and double-bind modes.

description: Species evolution is essentially a random process of interaction between biological populations and their environments. As a result, some physical parameters in evolution models are subject to statistical fluctuations. In this paper, two important parameters in the Eigen model, the fitness and mutation rate, are treated as Gaussian distributed random variables simultaneously to examine the property of the error threshold. Numerical simulation results show that the error threshold in the fully random model appears as a crossover region instead of a phase transition point, and as the fluctuation strength increases the crossover region becomes smoother and smoother. Furthermore, it is shown that the randomization of the mutation rate plays a dominant role in changing the error threshold in the fully random model, which is consistent with the existing experimental data. The implication of the threshold change due to the randomization for antiviral strategies is discussed.

description: Little is known about how sensitivity to the context of the environment (environmental sensitivity) and sensitivity to emotional reactions to the environment (anxiety sensitivity) are related, and whether they share a genetic basis. Additionally, there is limited understanding of the extent to which these traits reflect the genetic underpinnings of major life events. We will use data collected from ~2,800 individuals from the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS) who completed measures of environmental sensitivity, anxiety sensitivity and major life events at age 16. We will use a multivariate correlated factors solution of a Cholesky decomposition to examine the genetic and environmental relationship between environmental sensitivity, anxiety sensitivity and perception of life events. Additionally, we will use a variation of the trivariate Cholesky model to investigate whether there are any specific genetic or environmental influences on perception of life events, beyond those shared with environmental sensitivity and anxiety sensitivity.
Adolescent Predictors of Lifetime 'Hook-Up' Occurrence among US Young Adults

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: OVERVIEW: Within the sexual health literature, there has been a recent focus on 'hook-ups,' or casual, one-time sexual encounters, predominantly addressing the prevalence and cross-sectional predictors of hook-ups in high school- or college-aged convenience samples. To date, little attention has been paid to hook-up occurrence among post-collegiate young adults, or to potential predictors from earlier developmental periods. To address this gap, this study will examine early adolescent (grades 7 to 12) sociodemographic, behavioral, and psychological predictors of ever having a hook-up by young adulthood, utilizing a US nationally-representative cohort. METHODS: 7,717 respondents (3,586 males; 4,131 females) in Waves I and IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were included. Design-based F-tests and weighted logistic regression were used to calculate gender-specific associations between primarily adolescent/pre–age18 predictors and ever-occurrence of hook-up by Wave IV (mage at Wave IV =29.3 years). RESULTS: 70.6% of all respondents reported at least one hook-up by Wave IV; hook-ups were significantly more common among males (75.9%) than females (65.3%). For all respondents, in final multivariate models more positive personal perceptions of sexual intercourse during adolescence, higher counts of pre-age 18 sexual partners, and lifetime diagnosis of alcohol abuse or dependence were associated with higher odds of having a hook-up. For males only, a stronger desire to attend college during adolescence was also associated with higher odds of having a hook-up. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that adolescent behaviors and beliefs may be associated with sexual outcomes at later stages in life.

description: Trojans are small bodies in planetary Lagrangian points. In our solar system, Jupiter has the largest number of such companions. Their existence is assumed for exoplanetary systems as well, but none has been found so far. We present an analysis by super-stacking $\sim4\times10^4$ Kepler planets with a total of $\sim9\times10^5$ transits, searching for an average trojan transit dip. Our result gives an upper limit to the average Trojan transiting area (per planet) corresponding to one body of radius $<460$km at $2σ$ confidence. We find a significant Trojan-like signal in a sub-sample for planets with more (or larger) Trojans for periods $>$60 days. Our tentative results can and should be checked with improved data from future missions like PLATO2.0, and can guide planetary formation theories.

Transitional Frames: From Normalisation to Democracy Czech and Slovak Art Photography (1968-1998)
Creators: name: Gortazar, Paula
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2018

description: This thesis studies the development of art photography practices in Czechoslovakia throughout the Normalisation period (1968-1989) and the decade following the collapse of Communism in the country (1989-1998). Its aim is to analyse the relationship between the production of art photographs and the shifting socio-political context during these years, with the intention of understanding the different creative strategies applied by Czechoslovakian photographers to preserve their artistic autonomy despite the existing censorship under the communist rule, as well as their artistic evolution following the establishment of a democratic and capitalist system in 1989. The project has been carried out from the perspective of the social history of art, which implies an analysis of artworks taking into account the presence of relevant social structures affecting its production, such as the different institutions and ‘formations’ operating during the studied period, the concrete biographical circumstances of each artist and their specific relations with power structures. The research has been developed using a variety of methods, including the collection of primary research material from various photographic archives and private collections, as well as twenty interviews with the main actors of the photography scene of the time. A latter semiotic analysis of photographs has served to disclose a range of ‘coded messages’ in their images, often revealing the hidden critical content of the work. I would argue that the political context present during Normalisation years and its resulting social structures determined the development of art photography in Czechoslovakia at different levels, including not only its material production, content and style, but also the way these photographs were distributed and communicated through exhibitions and publications. This took place within a photography scene that was clearly divided into official and unofficial spheres of practice, but where ‘inner migrations’ constantly took place among those photographers who aimed to earn a living and communicate their work while simultaneously protecting their artistic autonomy. I would also argue that, although it would be very difficult to generalise the changes observed in their practice after 1989, it is possible to envisage certain tendencies among their work that suggest that the political transition that took place since 1989 produced different effects depending on the photographic style at stake.

description: Graphene has been proposed as the current controlling element of vertical transport in heterojunction transistors, as it could potentially achieve high operation frequencies due to its metallic character and 2D nature. Simulations of graphene acting as a thermionic barrier between the transport of two semiconductor layers have shown cut-off frequencies larger than 1 THz. Furthermore, the use of n-doped amorphous silicon, (n)-a-Si:H, as the semiconductor for this approach could enable flexible electronics with high cutoff frequencies. In this work, we fabricated a vertical structure on a rigid substrate where graphene is embedded between two differently doped (n)-a-Si:H layers deposited by very high frequency (140 MHz) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The operation of this heterojunction structure is investigated by the two diode-like interfaces by means of temperature dependent current-voltage characterization, followed by the electrical characterization in a three-terminal configuration. We demonstrate that the vertical current between the (n)-a-Si:H layers is successfully controlled by the ultra-thin graphene base voltage. While current saturation is yet to be achieved, a transconductance of ~230 μS was obtained, demonstrating a moderate modulation of the collector-emitter current by the ultra-thin graphene base voltage. These results show promising progress towards the application of graphene base heterojunction transistors.

description: Angyomphalus radianodosa n.sp. PI. 4 figs 4-10 Description. Shell very small low-spired lenticular, with 4Vz whorls, phaneromphalous. Protoconch seemingly simple, smooth, without sharp boundary between protoconch and teleoconch; suture shallow; upper whorl face sloping gently toward the periphery and decorated by narrow radiating nodes which are slightly sigmoidal just below the suture; growth lines extending beyond the nodes, prosocline above the peripheral selenizone, but faint below the selenizone, swinging forward for a short distance and then backward into the umbilicus; columellar lip thin next to the parietal wall but with a thick subtriangular section at the circumumbilical funicle, outer lip thin, sharply angulated at periphery, size of slit and lunulae unknown. Types. Holotype (F78372) and 6 figures paratypes (F78373-6). There are 42 unfigured additional specimens (F78377) from the type locality. [table omitted] Type locality. 150 m west of 'Marohn' homestead, on the Scone-Gundy roadside, 4 km south-west of Gundy, NSW (Locality 28). Stratigraphic position. In bioclastic limestone, upper part of the Dangarfield Formation. Additional material. 25 from Swains Gully (Locality 25), 6 from south-east of 'Rangari' (Locality 18) and 6 from Glenbawn (Locality 31). Geographic distribution. 'Rangari' to Glenbawn. Geological age. Middle to late Tournaisian. Etymology. Derived from the Latin radian meaning radial, and nodosusmeaning nodose; referring to the radial nodes below the sutures. Remarks. This form differs from the only described Australian species, Angyomphalus depressa Campbell & Engel in that the latter has a low spired shell with more acute periphery and more closely spaced and longer nodes just below the suture. It resembles the Belgian type species Angyomphalus radians (de Koninck, 1881) ill shell character but differs in being much smaller.

description: This project was conducted in Chicago for the Consortium to Lower Obesity in Chicago Children (CLOCC). Of particular interest to CLOCC, not breastfeeding is associated with a 32% excess risk of childhood obesity. For this project, CLOCC partnered with Children's Home + Aid - a child and family service agency in Chicago that provides home visiting services - to further CLOCC's obesity reduction goals. This partnership is mutually beneficial for Children's Home + Aid. As the Illinois state Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) coordinating agency, Children's Home + Aid will be required to spend the majority of its funds on approved home visiting models that do not emphasize breastfeeding. Thus, the agency identified a need for additional support in incorporating more breastfeeding education and support into its curriculums. In May 2014, the researcher, as a part of CLOCC's Early Childhood Division, stepped forward to fill this knowledge gap by developing a breastfeeding training presentation and toolkit for home visitors. The products of this project are threefold: 1) a training presentation for home visitors that educates them about how to incorporate breastfeeding education into their curriculums, 2) a supplementary toolkit for home visitors that includes information and resources about breastfeeding, and 3) a paper that outlines the need for this project, the methodology of the project, the literature review and mini-focus group findings used to develop the training presentation and toolkit, and a discussion of how the key findings were incorporated into the training presentation and toolkit.

description: In this paper, we introduce a new parameter, the affine twist parameter for the affine deformation of a sphere with holes. We show that the affine deformation space can be parametrized by Margulis invariants and affine twist parameters. The affine twist parameter is canonically regarded as a correspondence to the Fenchel-Nielsen twist parameter in Teichmuller theory.

description: Lateral ordering of heteroepitaxial islands can be conveniently achieved by suitable pit-patterning of the substrate prior to deposition. Controlling shape, orientation, and size of the pits is not trivial as, being metastable, they can significantly evolve during deposition/annealing. In this paper, we exploit a continuum model to explore the typical metastable pit morphologies that can be expected on Si(001), depending on the initial depth/shape. Evolution is predicted using a surface-diffusion model, formulated in a phase-field framework, and tackling surface-energy anisotropy. Results are shown to nicely reproduce typical metastable shapes reported in the literature. Moreover, long time scale evolutions of pit profiles with different depths are found to follow a similar kinetic pathway. The model is also exploited to treat the case of heteroepitaxial growth involving two materials characterized by different facets in their equilibrium Wulff’s shape. This can lead to significant changes in morphologies, such as a rotation of the pit during deposition as evidenced in Ge/Si experiments.

The Impact of Child Maltreatment on Juvenile Delinquency
Creators: name: Wescott, Phoebe
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Background: Child delinquency is associated with adult criminal activity. Prior research suggests that a history of child maltreatment may increase the risk of a child's involvement in delinquent acts. The objective of this study is to examine the association between child maltreatment and delinquency, and assess how race is associated. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of 5,873 children from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW II) of children involved in child maltreatment or neglect investigations by Child Protective Services in the United States between 2008 and 2012. Logistic and Poisson regression models were used to examine the association between child maltreatment and delinquency. Results: Children who experienced physical abuse and neglect had at least three times the odds of committing any form of delinquent acts compared to children who experienced no abuse. Children of other races (American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander) had a four times higher odds of committing any delinquent act, compared to African American children. Older children (aged 11-17 years old) were almost 6 times as likely to commit a severe delinquent act compared to children aged 6-10 years old. There was no significant difference between White children compared to African American children. Conclusion: Child maltreatment may be associated with an increased risk of developing juvenile delinquency. Public health programs should address the underlying determinants of child maltreatment to reduce the development of juvenile delinquency. Programs should look to target children of other races with protective interventions against child maltreatment.

description: New Year’s resolutions are acts of valuation where people express ideas about what is important and worthwhile in life. Although resolutions have a long history, the twenty-first century has transformed the practice into a social media ritual with greater visibility, interactivity, and reach. Using this unique event to explore the globalization of values, we analyze tweets about New Year’s resolutions in English, German, Italian, Japanese, and Korean. Combining network analysis (n = 160,592) and content analysis (n = 2000), we compare discursive topics, modes of ritual participation, and the values expressed in resolutions. Our findings indicate both that the ritual crosses cultures and that there are language-specific dynamics that do not map neatly onto established divisions between ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ value orientations. Instead, we identify three underlying tensions organizing the articulation of values: self-acceptance vs. self-improvement, public vs. private, and conformity vs. oppositionality. We discuss these in relation to an overarching tension between local contexts and global platform cultures. Finally, we explore the study’s broader implications for understanding the interaction between values, norms, and global communicative practices.

description: Understanding the theoretical foundations of how memories are encoded and retrieved in neural populations is a central challenge in neuroscience. A popular theoretical scenario for modeling memory function is the attractor neural network scenario, whose prototype is the Hopfield model. The model has a poor storage capacity, compared with the capacity achieved with perceptron learning algorithms. Here, by transforming the perceptron learning rule, we present an online learning rule for a recurrent neural network that achieves near-maximal storage capacity without an explicit supervisory error signal, relying only upon locally accessible information. The fully-connected network consists of excitatory binary neurons with plastic recurrent connections and non-plastic inhibitory feedback stabilizing the network dynamics; the memory patterns are presented online as strong afferent currents, producing a bimodal distribution for the neuron synaptic inputs. Synapses corresponding to active inputs are modified as a function of the value of the local fields with respect to three thresholds. Above the highest threshold, and below the lowest threshold, no plasticity occurs. In between these two thresholds, potentiation/depression occurs when the local field is above/below an intermediate threshold. We simulated and analyzed a network of binary neurons implementing this rule and measured its storage capacity for different sizes of the basins of attraction. The storage capacity obtained through numerical simulations is shown to be close to the value predicted by analytical calculations. We also measured the dependence of capacity on the strength of external inputs. Finally, we quantified the statistics of the resulting synaptic connectivity matrix, and found that both the fraction of zero weight synapses and the degree of symmetry of the weight matrix increase with the number of stored patterns.

description: The framework of many-body perturbation theory led to deep insight into electronic structure and optical properties of diverse systems and, in particular, many semiconductors. It relies on an accurate approximation of the screened Coulomb electron–electron interaction W, that in current implementations is usually achieved by describing electronic interband transitions. However, our results for several oxide semiconductors indicate that for polar materials it is necessary to also account for lattice contributions to dielectric screening. To clarify this question in this work, we combine highly accurate experimentation and cutting-edge theoretical spectroscopy to elucidate the interplay of quasiparticle and excitonic effects for cubic bixbyite In2O3 across an unprecedentedly large photon energy range. We then show that the agreement between experiment and theory is excellent and, thus, validate that the physics of quasiparticle and excitonic effects is described accurately by these first-principles techniques, except for the immediate vicinity of the absorption onset. Finally, our combination of experimental and computational data clearly establishes the need for including a lattice contribution to dielectric screening in the screened electron–electron interaction, in order to improve the description of excitonic effects near the absorption edge.

description: In this study, we explore under what circumstances consumers are willing to give up some of their control of their electricity consumption. We depart from a judgement and decision-making perspective (JDM), drawing on research showing that decisions are affected differently depending on a people's degree of time discounting, risk sensitivity and framing of the message, while also taking demographic variables into account. A previous experiment showed that people assess it to be more appealing to the average consumer to directly control a smart thermostat rather than having an automatised smart thermostat. Further, unsurprisingly people assess it to be more appealing to the average consumer to break even on their investment in a smart thermostat sooner (after one year) rather than later (after four years). Finally, people who time discounted more were more likely to assess it as appealing to the average consumer with shorter break-even times to choose alternatives entailing shorter break-even times and people with higher incomes assessed cheaper contracts as more appealing to the average consumer. In the present experiment we wanted to investigate whether i) the proposed smart thermostat contracts could be made more attractive and ii) the phrasing of the contracts (What is the probability that the average consumer would commit to this contract?) could have affected the counter-intuitive correlation between price and income.
