description: Confronting the global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), simple, fast and specific non-laboratory SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests are urgently required. However, the current nucleic acid assays generally rely on the diagnostic laboratory, trained staff and specialized equipment for execution and analysis, presenting clear limitations in the field detection. Here, we describe a portable and reliable immobilization-based loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) device which is mobile, without the requirement of any complicated instrument and appropriate for high-throughput testing. This device was constructed by utilizing the interaction between a carboxyl-tagged primer and an amino-tagged substrate, and capable of catching the target sequence in SARS-CoV-2 produced via the immobilization-based LAMP. In this study, the immobilization conditions and immobilized primer structure were explored and optimized. With this proposed device, the analysis result can be obtained rapidly in 30 min with excellent specificity, even if the template is extracted from a complex sample containing pharyngeal swab or human blood. In addition, the device can be applied to detect the nucleic acid of SARS-CoV-2 and various other pathogens, showing attractive potential for rapid and high-throughput detection at airports, railway stations, cold-chain transportations, community hospitals and so on. Therefore, we believe that the immobilization-based LAMP device is an advanced approach to developing a portable, specific, low-cost and high-throughput diagnostic platform.

description: Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in Somalia's economic development, contributing to job creation and economic stability. However, various factors hinder their performance and growth. This study explores the key challenges affecting SMEs in Galkayo, Somalia, including financial constraints, political instability, regulatory barriers, and human resource limitations.

Using a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through surveys and interviews with SME owners, managers, and key stakeholders. The findings indicate that limited access to financing, lack of financial management skills, and inadequate banking services significantly impact SME growth. Additionally, political instability and weak regulatory frameworks create an unpredictable business environment, increasing operational risks and discouraging investment. The study also highlights the role of human resource capacity, where limited access to skilled labor and training opportunities affects business performance and sustainability.

The study underscores the need for policy reforms, improved financial support systems, and enhanced business training programs to strengthen SME performance. Recommendations include increasing access to financial services, implementing SME-friendly regulations, and investing in workforce development. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, entrepreneurs, and organizations aiming to improve the resilience and success of SMEs in Somalia.

description: In cuprates, the strong correlations in proximity to the antiferromagnetic Mott insulating state give rise to an array of unconventional phenomena beyond high temperature superconductivity. Developing a complete description of the ground state evolution is crucial to decoding the complex phase diagram. Here we use the structure of broken translational symmetry, namely $d$-form factor charge modulations in (Bi,Pb)$_2$(Sr,La)$_2$CuO$_{6+δ}$, as a probe of the ground state reorganization that occurs at the transition from truncated Fermi arcs to a large Fermi surface. We use real space imaging of nanoscale electronic inhomogeneity as a tool to access a range of dopings within each sample, and we definitively validate the spectral gap $Δ$ as a proxy for local hole doping. From the $Δ$-dependence of the charge modulation wavevector, we discover a commensurate to incommensurate transition that is coincident with the Fermi surface transition from arcs to large hole pocket, demonstrating the qualitatively distinct nature of the electronic correlations governing the two sides of this quantum phase transition. Furthermore, the doping dependence of the incommensurate wavevector on the overdoped side is at odds with a simple Fermi surface driven instability.

description: Selbst ausgereifte Technologien haben Nebenwirkungen (sogenannte). Es läßt sich dann über Sicherheit diskutieren und über Risiken - vertretbare natürlich oder unvertretbare: über radioaktive Niedrigstrahlung etwa oder über Atommüll der jahrtausendelang vor sich hin strahlt. Technologien können auch versagen, und dies kann fatal sein - wie Tschernobyl gezeigt hat. Technologien können in falsche Hände geraten, können destruktiv eingesetzt werden - nicht erst seit Hiroshima. Folgerichtig hat sich die Diskussion um das Gefährdungspotential der Atom-Technik lange Ze\t an den Dimensionen der Gefahr für Leben und Gesundheit einerseits und andererseits an der Gefahr für den Frieden orientiert. Damit kreiste die Diskussion schwerpunktmaßig um Fragen der Sicherheit der Atom-Technik, was sich in einer naturwissenschaftlich-technischen Argumentatiohsweise niederschlug, sowie um Fragen der Gefährdung des Friedens und der Zukunft kommender Generationen, was eher ethisch angegangen wurde. Spätestens seit Robert Jungks ,,Atomstaat" hat diese Diskussion über das Gefährdungspotential der Atom-Technik eine neue Dimension erreicht: die der Gesellschaft. Eine freie, demokratische Gesellschaft und die Anwendung einer derart zerstörerischen Energie - geht das überhaupt zusammen?
Aboriginal shell middens in the coastal landscape of New South Wales

description: This thesis is concerned with the nature and distribution of prehistoric Aboriginal shell middens in the coastal zone of New South Wales. As such it is a study in landscape archaeology in which the relationships between the contents and locations of shell middens and the physical environments of coastal New South Wales are considered. Shell middens are investigated within a framework of landscape units in which the New South Wales coastline is divided into four regions, based on geological structure. Eight hundred shell middens recorded over the entire length of the coast line have been used to analyse patterns of content, dimensions, locational variables and distribution with respect to these landscape units. From the results of this analysis it is argued that there between she 11 middens and the landscapes in are strong relationship which they occur, and that the coastal landscape has to a considerable extent influenced coastal prehistory. Because this overview of sites takes no account of different temporal patterns, nor of the degree of site destruction through time, more detailed studies are included to examine these aspects. In addition for the far south coast, where no detailed archaeological investigation had been carried out previously, a shell midden was excavated. The results of this excavation relate to a number of issues raised within the general overview. These include the relationship between sites in the far south of the coastal zone and those further north, and the change in shell species which is commonly recorded in sites belonging to the recent prehistory of southern New South Wales. The conclusions of the study are wide ranging. There is a strong re1ationship between shell middens and coastal landscapes. In terms of both landscape and archaeology there is a broad division of the coastal zone into a northern and a southern section. Shell midden sites in the north are characteristically estuarine and beach middens, with estuarine sites showing a marked use by their occupants also of terrestrial food resources. Sites in the south are characteristically rocky shoreline middens reflecting an economy heavily dependent on shellfish and fish. Estuarine sites in the south, like those to the north, also commonly show a marked use of terrestrial resources. Sites on the far south coast are also shown to be similar to those from slightly further north including the Sydney region. These similarities encompass their nature, contents, broad chronology and specific locational factors.

description: The storage industry is moving toward emerging non-volatile memories (NVMs), including the spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive random-access memory (STT-MRAM) and the phase-change memory (PCM), owing to their high density and low-power operation. In this paper, we demonstrate, for the first time, circuit models and performance benchmarking for the domain wall (DW) reversal-based magnetoelectric-antiferromagnetic random access memory (ME-AFMRAM) at cell-level and at array-level. We also provide perspectives for coherent rotation-based memory switching with topological insulator-driven anomalous Hall read-out. In the coherent rotation regime, the ultra-low power magnetoelectric switching coupled with the terahertz-range antiferromagnetic dynamics result in substantially lower energy-per-bit and latency metrics for the ME-AFMRAM compared to other NVMs including STTMRAM and PCM. After characterizing the novel ME-AFMRAM, we leverage its unique properties to build a dense, on-chip, secure NVM platform, called SMART: A Secure Magnetoelectric Antiferromagnet- Based Tamper-Proof Non-Volatile Memory. New NVM technologies open up challenges and opportunities from a data-security perspective. For example, their sensitivity to magnetic fields and temperature fluctuations, and their data remanence after power-down make NVMs vulnerable to data theft and tampering attacks. The proposed SMART memory is not only resilient against data confidentiality attacks seeking to leak sensitive information but also ensures data integrity and prevents Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks on the memory. It is impervious to particular power side-channel (PSC) attacks which exploit asymmetric read/write signatures for 0 and 1 logic levels, and photonic side-channel attacks which monitor photo-emission signatures from the chip backside.

description: It is clarified for the first time that solitons originating from the dipolar interaction in ferromagnetic nano-particle arrays are stably created. The characteristics can be well controlled by the strength of the dipolar interaction between particles and the shape anisotropy of the particle. The soliton can propagate from a particle to a neighbor particle at a clock frequency even faster than 100 GHz using materials with a large magnetization. Such arrays of nano-particles might be feasible in an application as a signal transmission line.

Microscopic explanation for black hole phase transitions via Ruppeiner geometry: two competing factors-the temperature and repulsive interaction among BH molecules

description: Charged dilatonic black hole (BH) has rather rich phase diagrams which may contain zeroth-order, first-order as well as reentrant phase transitions (RPTs) depending on the value of the coupling constant $α$ between the electromagnetic field and the dilaton. We try to give a microscopic explanation for these phase transitions by adopting Ruppeiner's approach. By studying the behaviors of the Ruppeiner invariant $R$ along the co-existing lines, we find that the various phase transitions may be qualitatively well explained as a result of two competing factors: the first one is the low-temperature effect which tends to shrink the BH and the second one is the repulsive interaction between the BH molecules which, on the contrary, tends to expand the BH. In the standard phase transition without RPT, as temperature is lowered, the first kind of factor dominates over the second one, so that large black hole (LBH) tends to shrink and thus transits to small black hole (SBH); While in the RPT, after the LBH-SBH transition, as temperature is further decreased, the strength of the second factor increases quickly and finally becomes strong enough to dominate over the first factor, so that SBH tends to expand to release the high repulsion and thus transits back to LBH. Moreover, by comparing the behavior of $R$ versus the temperature $T$ with fixed pressure to that of ordinary two-dimensional thermodynamical systems but with fixed specific volume, it is interesting to see that SBH behaves like a Fermionic gas system in cases with RPT, while it behaves oppositely to an anyon system in cases without RPT. And in all cases, LBH behaves like a nearly ideal gas system.

description: Zusammenfassung: Kulturen erschließen dem Menschen die Welt und sorgen gleichzeitig dafür, dass er zu einem Individuum wird. Dies erfolgt keineswegs nur kognitiv, sondern auch affektiv. Das menschliche Weltverhältnis und das menschliche Zusammenleben sind damit von vorne herein als etwas Eingefärbtes und Temperiertes zu begreifen. Der Frage, wie Rationalität und Emotionalität zueinander stehen, soll in diesem Beitrag ausgehend von kulturanthropologischen und kulturtheoretischen Überlegungen nachgegangen werden. Im Besonderen zielen diese darauf, zu untersuchen, was passiert, wenn "es kritisch wird", wenn nämlich Fragen, wie die Welt beschaffen sei und wie richtig mit ihr umzugehen ist, nicht nur in einem kognitiven, sondern auch in einem affektiven Sinne unterschiedlich beantwortet werden. Summary: Cultures reveal the world to humans and make sure that they become individuals. This happens not only cognitively, but also affectively. Thus, the relationship of humans to the world and their social life have to be understood as something that is coloured and tempered a priori. For this reason, the question of how rationality and emotionality are related to each other is discussed in this paper from the perspectives of cultural anthropology and culture theory. They particularly aim at investigating what happens in crucial situations, that is, when questions concerning the condition of the world and the ways of dealing with it are to be answered differently not only in a cognitive sense, but also in an affective one.

description: Zhelev and Needham have recently created large, quasi-stable pores in artificial lipid bilayer vesicles [Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1147 (1993) 89]. Initially created by electroporation, the pores remain open for up to several seconds before quickly snapping shut. This result is surprising in light of the large line tension for holes in bilayer membranes and the rapid time scale for closure of large pores. We show how pores can be dynamically stabilized via a new feedback mechanism. We also explain quantitatively the observed sudden pore closure as a tangent bifurcation. Finally we show how Zhelev and Needham's experiment can be used to measure accurately the pore line tension, an important material parameter. For their SOPC/CHOL mixture we obtain a line tension of 2.6 10^{-6} erg/cm.

The Dual Nature of Perception
Creators: name: Khamzin, Makhsat
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This report explores the duality of perception as a fundamental framework for understanding reality, bridging geometric, physical, and ontological structures. Building on prior work that establishes information as the foundation of reality, we extend this concept to propose that perception itself follows an informational hierarchy, corresponding to increasing levels of complexity in how reality is structured and experienced.

 

We examine three levels of informational structure:

 

1. Metaphysical – The relationship between point and extension, following the ideas of Heydar Jemal, who argued that geometry holds an inherent mystical structure.

 

 

2. Physical – The relationship between information and matter, addressing how matter emerges from structured information rather than existing as a primary entity.

 

 

3. Ontological – The relationship between the Subject and Reality, suggesting that perception is not merely a passive act but an active structuring force that defines reality itself.

 

 

 

By demonstrating that subjective and objective reality are intrinsically linked, this report lays the groundwork for an integrated model of perception, merging rational and sensory understanding with the latest insights from quantum physics and information theory. The conclusions challenge traditional materialist and dualist ontologies, arguing for a new paradigm where reality is shaped by the informational structuring of perception itself.

description: Resumen: 1. Prólogo: ¿Qué es Internet? – ¿Una red de ordenadores? Como punto de partida de esta contribución no sirve ninguna cuestión particular, sino un deseo general, es decir, el de entender a qué nos hemos de enfrentar en realidad cuando hablamos de Internet. De todos modos, se trata de un fenómeno con el que se unen muchas asociaciones. Para investigar este asunto se siguen dos caminos en los que se desarrollan las respuestas que nos informan de lo que es Internet. 2. Reconstrucción: ¡Metáforas, abstracciones, y cómo funcionan! Uno de los caminos consistiría en crearse una imagen de algo. Pero si esto no funciona, porque es inconcebible, o porque el objeto resulta demasiado complejo o abstracto para ser observado directamente, debemos utilizar, entonces, otras imágenes para relacionar provisionalmente con su ayuda, impresiones y experiencias; para explorar qué aspectos son correctamente reflejados y cuáles no. El otro camino sería el de no crearse ninguna imagen, sino abstraer de esto algo indefinido para lo que significa. Este "estar en lugar de algo" es la característica de los símbolos, los cuales han de abstraerse del objeto para poder concebirlo desde la distancia. 3. Reflexión: Más allá de la tecnicidad y la medialidad Internet es algo técnico, pero también de forma simultánea algo medial. Antes del fondo de la caracterización de Internet con ayuda de metáforas y abstracciones se tiene que discutir si puede permanecer así. ¿No se tiene que pensar a Internet al contrario en las dimensiones de la cultura y de lo social? 4. Epilogo: Un proyecto (r)evolucionario y su futuro incierto Se dan muchos determinaciones de Internet. En cuanto a la cuestión del sentido de estas determinaciones hay en cambio sin embargo pocos trabajos. Sobre todo se pregunta por razones determinantes, por horizontes de experiencia (individuales) y estrategias de aprovechamiento (colectivas). Estos trabajos operan de manera discursivo-reconstructiva. Permanece descuidado en ella el intento de dar una determinación igual de reflexiva que sustancial. Se sigue de esto, la tarea de elaborar una meta-determinación, que queda reflejada en el resumen.

description: We show that the standard Lanczos algorithm can be efficiently implemented statistically and self consistently improved, using the stochastic reconfigurat ion method, which has been recently introduced to stabilize the Monte Carlo sign problem instability. With this scheme a few Lanczos steps over a given variational wavefunction are possible even for large size as a particular case of a more general and more accurate technique that allows to obtain lower variational energies. This method has been tested extensively for a strongly correlated model like the t-J model. With the standard Lanczos technique it is possible to compute any kind of correlation functions, with no particular computational effort. By using that the variance $-^2$ is zero for an exact eigenstate, we show that the approach to the exact solution with few Lanczos ite rations is indeed possible even for $\sim 100$ electrons for reasonably good initial wavefunctions.The variational stochastic reconfiguration technique presented here allows in general a many-parameter energy optimization of any computable many-body wavefunction, including for inst ance generic long range Jastrow factors and arbitrary site dependent orbital determinants. This scheme improves further the accuracy of the calculation, especially for long distance correlation functions.

description: This senior design project will be conducted at Jasper Engines, specifically the cam
remanufacturing area of the Indiana Tool and Die department. The cam area is approximately
200 sq. ft. where cams are brought in daily to be remanufactured. It consists of two manual
lathes, a grinding and a wire wheel, an aluminum oxide blaster, and a spray welder. The cam
area is a very small portion of the Indiana Tool and Die department but is the most profitable
area. Jasper Engines are currently having multiple issues that prevent the area from flowing
smoothly and efficiently.
The first step to improving this process was to learn the process the cams go through to
be remanufactured. To accomplish this, the team observed and asked questions about the
process. After having a good understanding of the process we began conducting time studies.
When time studies were completed, it was imperative to go back and analyze the data and
observe the process to find improvements to suggest. The next step to advance our project
progression was to create a current value stream map and a future value stream map. On the
future value stream map it was important to list all of our suggestions that would improve the
process. Then, to estimate how much money the company could save it was appropriate to
conduct an economic analysis. The results that were found after conducting an economic
analysis, the company would save an estimate of $23,750 if they would decide to implement all
of our suggestions. Finally, after recording all of the data that was found a meeting with the
team leader along with the engineer and our liaison was scheduled to present suggestions on
how to improve this process.

description: Suggestions for efficiently determining the lifetimes and mass difference of the light and heavy $B_s$ mesons ($B_s^L, B_s^H$) from $B_s \to J/ ψϕ, D_s^{*+}D_s^{*-}$ decays are given. Using appropriate weighting functions for the angular distributions of the decay products (moment analysis), one can extract $(Γ_H, Γ_L, Δm)_{B_s}$. Such a moment analysis allows the determination of the relative magnitudes and phases of the CP-odd and CP-even decay amplitudes. Efficient determinations of CP-violating effects occuring in $B_s \to J/ψϕ, D_s^{*+} D_s^{*-}$ are discussed in the light of a possible width difference $(ΔΓ)_{B_s}$, and the utility of this method for $B \to J/ψK^*, D^{\ast +}_s \bar D^{\ast}$ decays is noted. Since our approach is very general, it can in principle be applied to all kinds of angular distributions and allows the determination of all relevant observables, including fundamental CKM (Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa) parameters, as well as tests of various aspects of the factorization hypothesis. Explicit angular distributions and weighting functions are given, and the general method that can be used for any angular distribution is indicated.

description: Wenn man es mit neuartigen Phänomenen zu tun hat, oder mit Prozessen, die mitten im Fluss des Geschehens liegen, ist es womöglich eine gute Herangehensweise, von der Gewohnheit Abstand zu nehmen, sie abschließend behandeln zu wollen. Sich damit zu begnügen, sie erschließend zu bearbeiten, mag zwar unbefriedigend sein, ist aber in diesem Fall weiterführend. Solche Entwicklungen zu beurteilen, um zu ihrer Gestaltung beizutragen, verlangt schon von der Sache her nach Sensibilität und Offenheit, vor allem aber nach einer gehörigen Portion Respekt ihnen gegenüber. Warum? Nun, solange diese Entwicklungsprozesse in „statu nascendi“ sind, sich also in einem frühen Stadium befinden, bleiben sie – bei aller Fähigkeit zur Einsicht, die wir uns selbst gern attestieren – zumindest teilweise undurchschaubar, nicht zuletzt mit Blick auf ihre Konsequenzen. Und gemeint sind damit weniger ihre Folgen für das schlicht Bestehende als vielmehr die Kräfte, die sie im dynamischen Fortgang der Ereignisse freisetzen – besonders jene, die dazu geeignet sind, die Zielsetzungen und Wertvorstellungen, an
denen uns liegt, unweigerlich in ihren Wirkungskreis hinein zu ziehen. Wenn man das engere Thema (einer Reflexion über die Rolle der Satellitentechnik für all jene Sicherheitsfragen, die uns wichtig genug sind, um sie an die erste Stelle unserer Tagesordnung zu setzen) hinreichend gut erschließen will, um ihre Pros und Kontras angemessen zu diskutieren, muss man es also notwendigerweise aus einem weiteren Rahmen heraus entwickeln. Nach dem ersten Punkt, der „Einleitung“, in der wir uns gerade noch befinden, fährt mein Beitrag daher zweitens mit der Skizzierung dieses Rahmens fort, und zwar unter dem Titel „Konvergenz und Transformation“. Darauf folgt drittens eine Erörterung zum Thema „UC, RFID und der Beitrag der Satelliten“. Der vierte und schließliche Punkt ist kein Resümee, sondern ein „Ausblick“, der sich der Frage nach der Sicherheit und ihrer Gestaltung widmet.
Universal Cubic Eigenvalue Repulsion for Random Normal Matrices

description: Random matrix models consisting of normal matrices, defined by the sole constraint $[N^†,N]=0$, will be explored. It is shown that cubic eigenvalue repulsion in the complex plane is universal with respect to the probability distribution of matrices. The density of eigenvalues, all correlation functions, and level spacing statistics are calculated. Normal matrix models offer more probability distributions amenable to analytical analysis than complex matrix models where only a model wth a Gaussian distribution are solvable. The statistics of numerically generated eigenvalues from gaussian distributed normal matrices are compared to the analytical results obtained and agreement is seen.

An Algebraic Approach to Koopman Classical Mechanics

description: Classical mechanics is presented here in a unary operator form, constructed using the binary multiplication and Poisson bracket operations that are given in a phase space formalism, then a Gibbs equilibrium state over this unary operator algebra is introduced, which allows the construction of a Hilbert space as a representation space of a Heisenberg algebra, giving a noncommutative operator algebraic variant of the Koopman-von Neumann approach. In this form, the measurement theory for unary classical mechanics can be the same as and inform that for quantum mechanics, expanding classical mechanics to include noncommutative operators so that it is close to quantum mechanics, instead of attempting to squeeze quantum mechanics into a classical mechanics mold. The measurement problem as it appears in unary classical mechanics suggests a classical signal analysis approach that can also be successfully applied to the measurement problem of quantum mechanics. The development offers elementary mathematics that allows a formal reconciliation of "collapse" and "no-collapse" interpretations of quantum mechanics.

Not Above Your Gods, Six case studies of editing and publishing history from postwar Australia
Creators: name: Grundy, Alice
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: For the most part, editorial labour goes unseen and unremarked by literary studies scholars. When it is the subject of discussion in Australia, it is often decried or part of a racist assumption that First Nations writers would be incapable of producing work themselves. This thesis takes six case studies from the second half of the twentieth century in Australia: Ruth Park, Thea Astley, Jessica Anderson, Sally Morgan, Ruby Langford Ginibi and Kate Jennings. Unlike most existing work on editing that centres male writers and individual genius, this thesis focuses on women authors and editors and argues that studying editing unveils the editor process - a wide spectrum of interventions that contribute to the version of the text with which readers engage. This thesis also argues that, despite existing orthodoxies about the dangers of highlighting editorial labour, studying editing instead highlights authors' agency in new and critical ways. Drawing on genetic criticism, textual studies, book history and editing studies, this thesis offers new ways of reading the relationships between authors and the network of contributors to the production of their texts. This project has also been informed by my own experience as a professional editor for the past fifteen years. Through detailed analysis of archival materials, extensive engagement with existing scholarship as well as close readings, I outline alternative approaches for literary and publishing studies scholars alike.

description: Abstract

Handwashing is a fundamental public health practice that prevents the spread of infectious diseases, yet adherence to proper hand hygiene remains a challenge in many educational settings. This study examines the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of handwashing among secondary school students in South Galkayo, Somalia. The research assesses students' awareness of hand hygiene, their perceptions of its importance, and the actual handwashing behaviors they exhibit in their daily routines.

Using a cross-sectional survey design, data was collected through structured questionnaires distributed to secondary school students. The findings indicate that while a majority of students recognize the importance of handwashing, gaps exist between knowledge and practice. Barriers such as lack of soap, inadequate water supply, and limited hygiene education contribute to inconsistencies in proper handwashing behaviors. Additionally, socio-cultural factors and misconceptions about hygiene further affect adherence to recommended handwashing practices.

The study highlights the need for enhanced school-based hygiene education programs, improved access to handwashing facilities, and stronger community awareness campaigns. Recommendations include integrating hygiene education into school curricula, ensuring schools are equipped with adequate water and soap, and promoting behavioral change initiatives to instill lifelong hand hygiene habits. These findings provide valuable insights for educators, public health officials, and policymakers working to improve hygiene practices among students in Somalia.
