description: The discontinuous shear thickening (DST) of dense suspensions is a remarkable phenomenon in which the viscosity can increase by several orders of magnitude at a critical shear rate. It has the appearance of a first order phase transition between two hypothetical "states" that we have recently identified as Stokes flows with lubricated or frictional contacts, respectively. Here we extend the analogy further by means of novel stress-controlled simulations and show the existence of a non-monotonic steady-state flow curve analogous to a non-monotonic equation of state. While we associate DST with an S-shaped flow curve, at volume fractions above the shear jamming transition the frictional state loses flowability and the flow curve reduces to an arch, permitting the system to flow only at small stresses. Whereas a thermodynamic transition leads to phase separation in the coexistence region, we observe a uniform shear flow all along the thickening transition. A stability analysis suggests that uniform shear may be mechanically stable for the small Reynolds numbers and system sizes in a rheometer.

description: Infectious diseases are currently, one of the greatest global challenges in medicine. Rapid and precise diagnosis and identification of pathogen is important for timely initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy. However, many patients with infectious diseases receive empirical treatment rather than appropriate pathogen-directed therapy. As a result antimicrobials have been overused and/or misused, which has ultimately led to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR is broadly considered as the most significant public health threat facing the world today. Policy makers from all over the world have recognised the urgent need for rapid point-of-care (POC) diagnostics that would not only identify pathogens but also provide antimicrobial susceptibility profiles in meaningful timeframe to initiate appropriate antimicrobial therapy and thereby, prevent AMR. Traditional culture-dependent diagnostic methods are still considered as gold standard methods. But they are very slow and generally require 18 to 48 hours with further 8 to 48 hours to perform antibiotic susceptibility test. Among culture-independent methods, PCR and ELISA are label-based, costly, laborious and require specialised equipment and trained personnel to operate them. Lateral flow assays (LFAs) that are low-cost, simple, rapid and paper-based portable detection platforms are very popular, as they can be applied at the POC. [Continues.]

description: School administrators are mandated to take the instructional leadership roles. On this premise, a study assessed the extent of instructional leadership practices of public elementary school administrators in El Salvador City Division, Philippines. Also, it explored their actual practices, challenges encountered, and the ways they overcome the challenges in practicing instructional leadership. It employed a mixed-method research design. It administered the adopted assessment tool on instructional leadership to 15 school administrators and 12 of them were involved in the individual interviews. This was conducted between the last quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the extent of instructional leadership practices. Also, it analyzed the actual practices, the challenges encountered, and the ways of overcoming these challenges using thematic narrative analysis. Results revealed that public school administrators have always practiced the four domains or strands of instructional leadership to a very high extent. Providing the technical assistance, conducting clinical supervision, and innovating teaching and learning emerged as themes of their actual practices. These administrators had encountered challenges in dealing with teachers’ attitudes, conflicting schedules and activities, and teachers’ resistance to changes. They overcome the challenges by trying to meet the competency standards, adapting and modifying the existing programs, contextualizing teaching and learning, and inculcating the value and benefits of class observation. Looking at the findings from the lens of deliberate practice theory, it was concluded that school administrators have indicated they have acquired knowledge and a high level of understanding of their instructional leadership roles. But despite of this, they still met challenges and have tried their best to manage them. This study presented some doable and practical recommendations to the Department of Education (DepEd) and concerned offices which may benefit both the internal and external stakeholders of the schools.
The Effect of Ecosystem Restoration on Native and Invasive Small Mammals at a Wetland Habitat in Guilford County

Subjects: Wetland conservation

description: The objective of this project was to examine the impacts of wetland and creek restoration on small mammal habitat selection and community composition. One component of ecosystem restoration is reintroducing or supporting native plants. I evaluated the effects of compensatory mitigation on native and invasive small mammal species and community dynamics in an effort to better understand the benefits of ecosystem restoration for future restoration projects. Using capture data from eight different wetland sites in different states, including three sites that were restored 19 years ago and five sites that will undergo compensatory mitigation this year, I found that the common restoration practices like invasive plant remove and stream stabilization do increase the populations of native small mammal species and reduce the presence of invasive species.

description: We present the stochastic thermodynamics analysis of an open quantum system weakly coupled to multiple reservoirs and driven by a rapidly oscillating external field. The analysis is built on a modified stochastic master equation in the Floquet basis. Transition rates are shown to satisfy the local detailed balance involving the entropy flowing out of the reservoirs. The first and second law of thermodynamics are also identified at the trajectory level. Mechanical work is identified by means of initial and final projections on energy eigenstates of the system. We explicitly show that this two step measurement becomes unnecessary in the long time limit. A steady-state fluctuation theorem for the currents and rate of mechanical work is also established. This relation does not require the introduction of a time reversed external driving which is usually needed when considering systems subjected to time asymmetric external fields. This is understood as a consequence of the secular approximation applied in consistency with the large time scale separation between the fast driving oscillations and the slower relaxation dynamics induced by the environment. Our results are finally illustrated on a model describing a thermodynamic engine.

description: A method for forming stable, water-borne silane compositions comprises combining an organic moiety containing hydroxyl groups, a water soluble silane which contains alkoxy groups and a transesterification catalyst, allowing the transesterification catalyst to effect the complete transesterification of the alkoy groups of the water insoluble silane; and removing the mixture alcohol compounds produced during the reaction. The organic moiety containing hydroxyl groups and the transesterification catalyst are present in sufficient quantities to ensure completion of the transesterification reaction, whereby all of the alkoxy groups of the water insoluble silane are transesterified.

description: In QBism (or Quantum Bayesianism) a quantum state does not represent an element of physical reality but an agent's personal probability assignments, reflecting his subjective degrees of belief about the future content of his experience. In this paper, we contrast QBism with hidden-variable accounts of quantum mechanics and show the sense in which QBism explains quantum correlations. QBism's agent-centered worldview can be seen as a development of ideas expressed in Schrödinger's essay "Nature and the Greeks".

The most important archaeological site identified was a succession of 13th century timber-framed buildings with masonry sill wall foundations located on the north-western edge of the village of Buckland. This intensive occupation is interpreted as the part of the dispersed polyfocal settlement of loosely connected farms focused on the three greens that contracted in the 14th century to a core at The Green on the higher, drier area to the south.

Experimental characterization of a transition from collisionless to collisional interaction between head-on-merging supersonic plasma jets

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: We present results from experiments on the head-on merging of two supersonic plasma jets in an initially collisionless regime for the counter-streaming ions. The plasma jets are of either an argon/impurity or hydrogen/impurity mixture and are produced by pulsed-power-driven railguns. Based on time- and space-resolved fast-imaging, multi-chord interferometry, and survey-spectroscopy measurements of the overlapping region between the merging jets, we observe that the jets initially interpenetrate, consistent with calculated inter-jet ion collision lengths, which are long. As the jets interpenetrate, a rising mean-charge state causes a rapid decrease in the inter-jet ion collision length. Finally, the interaction becomes collisional and the jets stagnate, eventually producing structures consistent with collisional shocks. These experimental observations can aid in the validation of plasma collisionality and ionization models for plasmas with complex equations of state.

description: It has recently been proposed that dark matter could be a thermal relic of 3-to-2 scatterings in a strongly coupled hidden sector. We present explicit classes of strongly coupled gauge theories that admit this behavior. These are QCD-like theories of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, where the pions play the role of dark matter. The number-changing 3-to-2 process, which sets the dark matter relic abundance, arises from the Wess-Zumino-Witten term. The theories give an explicit relationship between the 3-to-2 annihilation rate and the 2-to-2 self-scattering rate, which alters predictions for structure formation. This is a simple calculable realization of the strongly-interacting-massive-particle (SIMP) mechanism.

description: Hardy's is one of the simplest arguments concerning non-locality. Recently Chen et. al. have proposed a more generalized Hardy-like argument and have shown that the probability of success increases with local system's dimension. Here we study the same in a minimally constrained theory, namely the generalized no-signaling theory(GNST). We find that not only the probability of success of this argument increases with local system dimension in GNST, it also takes a very simple functional form.

description: We devise a cold-atom approach to realizing a broad range of bi-linear quantum magnets. Our scheme is based on off-resonant single-photon excitation of Rydberg $P$-states (Rydberg-dressing), whose strong interactions are shown to yield controllable XYZ-interactions between effective spins, represented by different atomic ground states. The distinctive features of Förster-resonant Rydberg atom interactions are exploited to enhance the effectiveness of Rydberg-dressing and, thereby, yield large spin-interactions that greatly exceed corresponding decoherence rates. We illustrate the concept on a spin-1 chain implemented with cold Rubidium atoms, and demonstrate that this permits the dynamical preparation of topological magnetic phases. Generally, the described approach provides a viable route to exploring quantum magnetism with dynamically tuneable (an)isotropic interactions as well as variable space- and spin-dimensions in cold-atom experiments.

description: We reconstruct the time dependent quantum map corresponding to the relaxation process of a two-spin system in liquid-state NMR at room temperature. By means of quantum tomography techniques that handle informational incomplete data, we show how to properly post-process and normalize the measurements data for the simulation of quantum information processing, overcoming the unknown number of molecules prepared in a non-equilibrium magnetisation state ($N_j$) by an initial sequence of radiofrequency (RF) pulses. From the reconstructed quantum map, we infer both longitudinal ($T_1$) and transversal ($T_2$) relaxation times, and introduce the $J$-coupling relaxation times ($T^J_1,T^J_2$), which are relevant for quantum information processing simulations. We show that the map associated to the relaxation process cannot be assumed approximated unital and trace-preserving for times greater than $T_2^J$.

Sin’s Earliest Echoes: The Pattern of Sin, Sound, Sentence in Genesis’ Primeval History
Creators: name: Spencer, Chase
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: My research (referred to in these summary slides) analyzes the role of sound within the sin narratives of Genesis 1-11 as a case study for the hermeneutical utility of explicit sounds within the text of the Hebrew Bible. First, I establish a pattern of "sin, sound, sentence" in the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and the Tower of Babel. Next, I defend the unique presence of the pattern in the Primeval Narrative. Then, I investigate the pattern's apparent absence in the Biblical Flood account. Ultimately, I propose that the relationship between sin and sound in Genesis 1-11 is best explained by the tension between order and chaos in these passages: with each wrongdoing, a sound symbolizes how sin invites chaos back into an ordered world.

description: Yunling cattle (YL) is a recently developed beef breed harboring a quarter of Yunnan ancestral cattle genome, spanning over past 30 years. Compared with Diqing cattle (DQ), a Yunnan native cattle breed, YL presents various advantages, including rapid growth and exquisite meat quality. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these phenotypic differences are not clearly understood. To further identify the candidate genes responsible for the quality of the meat in the muscle, longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle was used for RNA-Seq analysis. A total of 508 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in YL (adjusted p-value <0.01 and log2FoldChange >1), of which 243 were up-regulated and 265 were down-regulated. Functional association analysis showed that the identified DEGs mainly enriched the lipid and fat metabolism pathways. Moreover, it was also observed that several fat-related genes were differentially expressed in both cattle breeds, including three up-regulated genes (MOGAT1, ACSM3, PLPP2) and two down-regulated genes (ADIG, GPAT3). In addition, alternative splice analysis was also performed revealing an important 9–11 exon skipping variation of GPAM gene (crucial for beef marbling) in YL, which is three times higher than that in DQ, suggesting that this variation might have played the central role in the ‘snow beef’ effect in YL. We believe that our results will help in understanding the mechanism of muscle development and promote the further breeding programs in YL cattle.

Thanatology and its thesis of the repression of death: a discursive and generic analysis
Creators: name: Romanova, Irina
Publisher: name: Figshare
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 169999 Studies in Human Society not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: This thesis examines the emergence of thanatology as a discipline, paying particular attention to the key thanatological theme that death has become a taboo topic in modern society and to the rhetorical construction of early thanatological texts. In order to study these issues, the thesis uses a variety of different methods. First I used corpus linguistic methodology to study the way repression proper was constructed in Time magazine, one of the most popular American news magazines of the time. This analysis showed that by the late 1950-early 1960s when thanatology had emerged as a discipline, the concept of repression proper had not completely lost its ties with psychoanalysis and had not become an integral part of ordinary discourse. Also, in the 1950s repression was often constructed as a pathology and this perception was shared by the early thanatological authors. In analyzing the publications by Geoffrey Gorer and Herman Feifel, the two important authors for the early history of the discipline, the methods of Discursive and Rhetorical Psychology, Critical Discourse Analysis and Genre Analysis were used, especially to analyse in discursive depth the essay “The Pornography of Death” by Geoffrey Gorer (1955) and the volume The Meaning of Death (1959) edited by Herman Feifel. Geoffrey Gorer in his essay “The Pornography of Death” contributed to the dissemination of the notion of repression and introduced to the public discourse the idea of the repression of death, death being the new taboo. Herman Feifel in his volume The Meaning of Death introduced the idea of repression of death as a characteristic feature of the Western society to the scholarly literature of the 1950s and 1960s. Feifel based his construction of the taboo on death on that of Gorer and legitimized the essay “The Pornography of Death” as a part of scholarly discourse on death. Using genre analysis it can be seen that neither the essay by Gorer, nor the volume The Meaning of Death can be viewed as conventional scholarly texts. Thus death studies as a scientific discipline can be viewed as originating at the essentially public level of communication. This has wider implications for understanding how new disciplines can be constructed and promoted both within and beyond the academic world.
Quantum limits to optical point-source localization

description: Motivated by the importance of optical microscopes to science and engineering, scientists have pondered for centuries how to improve their resolution and the existence of fundamental resolution limits. In recent years, a new class of microscopes that overcome a long-held belief about the resolution have revolutionized biological imaging. Termed "superresolution" microscopy, these techniques work by accurately locating optical point sources from far field. To investigate the fundamental localization limits, here I derive quantum lower bounds on the error of locating point sources in free space, taking full account of the quantum, nonparaxial, and vectoral nature of photons. These bounds are valid for any measurement technique, as long as it obeys quantum mechanics, and serve as general no-go theorems for the resolution of microscopes. To arrive at analytic results, I focus mainly on the cases of one and two classical monochromatic sources with an initial vacuum optical state. For one source, a lower bound on the root-mean-square position estimation error is on the order of $λ_0/\sqrt{N}$, where $λ_0$ is the free-space wavelength and $N$ is the average number of radiated photons. For two sources, owing to the statistical effect of nuisance parameters, the error bound diverges when their radiated fields overlap significantly. The use of squeezed light to enhance further the accuracy of locating one classical point source and the localization limits for partially coherent sources and single-photon sources are also discussed. The presented theory establishes a rigorous quantum statiscal inference framework for the study of superresolution microscopy and points to the possibility of using quantum techniques for true resolution enhancement.

We show that in an order $R$ of a Dedekind domain every regular prime ideal can be generated by an idempotent pair; moreover, if $R$ is PRINC, then its integral closure, which is a Dedekind domain, is PRINC, too. Hence, a Dedekind domain is PRINC if and only if it is a PID. Furthermore, we show that the only imaginary quadratic orders $\mathbb Z[\sqrt{-d}]$, $d > 0$ square-free, that are PRINC and not integrally closed, are for $d=3,7$.

description: The connection between constraint languages and clone theory has been a fruitful line of research on the complexity of constraint satisfaction problems. In a recent result, Cohen et al. [SICOMP'13] have characterised a Galois connection between valued constraint languages and so-called weighted clones. In this paper, we study the structure of weighted clones. We extend the results of Creed and Zivny from [CP'11/SICOMP'13] on types of weightings necessarily contained in every nontrivial weighted clone. This result has immediate computational complexity consequences as it provides necessary conditions for tractability of weighted clones and thus valued constraint languages. We demonstrate that some of the necessary conditions are also sufficient for tractability, while others are provably not.

Fokusprojekt

description: Eine frühzeitige Datenmanagementplanung (DMP) ist die Basis für ein professionelles Forschungsdatenmanagement (FDM). Inzwischen erwarten daher die meisten Fördermittelgeber Angaben zum Um­gang mit Forschungsdaten in Projektanträgen und in zunehmendem Maße auch die Einreichung sogenannter Datenmanagementpläne. Um sächsische Forschende bestmöglich in ihrer DMP Planung zu un­terstützen, hat das Fokusprojekt “SaxFDM-DMP” zum Ziel, ein zen­trales Beratungs-, Schulungs,- und Serviceangebot zu entwickeln, das sie in diesen Belangen unterstützt. In der ersten Projektphase soll der DMP-Service konzipiert wer­den. Ein erstes Ergebnis wird eine Handreichung für die Partner­einrichtungen sein. In die Konzeptionsphase fließen Gespräche mit Expertinnen und Experten ein, die ein breites Spektrum an Praxis­wissen liefern. Darüber hinaus werden DMP-Tools getestet und Ide­en zu Unterstützungslösungen entwickelt. Dies kann sowohl techni­sche (z.B. Tool-basiert, Prüfung möglicher Automatisierungen von DMP-Beratungsanfragen) als auch nicht-technische Lösungen zur Unterstützung von Projektanträgen in den FDM-Aspekten sowie der Erstellung von Datenmanagementplänen umfassen. In der zweiten Projektphase erfolgt dann ca. ab Frühjahr 2023 die Implementierung. Dabei können z.B. generische, wie auch ein­richtungs- oder disziplinspezifische FDM-Lösungsansätze, Vorlagen oder Textbausteine angeboten werden. Die Entwicklung erfolgt mit­tels der Begleitung realer Beratungsfälle unserer Partnereinrich­tungen in Zusammenarbeit mit dem SaxFDM-Kompetenzteam. Auch ein geeignetes Schulungsangebot wird umgesetzt. Schließlich wird auf organisatorischer Ebene geprüft, inwiefern ein solches DMP-Serviceangebot langfristig betrieben werden kann, hierzu wird ein Betriebsmodell konzipiert und der Roll-out umgesetzt. Dieses Poster präsentiert erste Erkenntnisse aus den Expert:innengesprächen und Recherchen, einschließlich einer Über­sicht und einer resümierenden Einordnung existierender Tools. Dar­auf basierend werden Vorschläge und offene Fragen abgeleitet so­wie geplante nächste Schritte des Projektes vorgestellt.
The Ockham hoard and other 'Sussex Loop' finds from Surrey

description: In 2013 a Middle Bronze Age ornament horizon hoard was discovered in Ockham. The hoard comprised ten artefacts, including two quadrangular-section 'Sussex Loops'. The find adds to a growing corpus of Sussex Loops found outside the Brighton/Lewes hinterland, where the majority of loops have been recovered. This article explores the Sussex Loops from Surrey and places them in the broader context of peripheral loop assemblages.
Romano-British and medieval settlements in Burstow and Horne

description: Surrey Archaeological Collections, 106, 365-378
description: Scatters of Romano-British and medieval pottery in areas within Burstow and Horne parishes in the Low Weald are described. Some of the medieval sites relate to places that are still occupied, while relatively superficial documentary and cartographic evidence has enabled identifications to be suggested. Developments in land organisation for an area south of Outwood Common, involving the staged enclosure of common land, are discussed. Socio-economic changes that may have underlain the desertion of some of the medieval sites are also noted.
Using a local gyrokinetic code to study global ITG modes in tokamaks

description: In this paper the global mode structures of linear ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) modes in tokamak plasmas are obtained by combining results from the local gyrokinetic code GS2 with analytical theory. Local gyrokinetic calculations, using GS2, are performed for a range of radial flux surfaces, ${x}$, and ballooning phase angles, ${p}$, to map out the local complex mode frequency, ${Ω_{0}(x,p)=ω_{0}(x,p)+iγ_{0}(x,p)}$ for a single toroidal mode number, ${n}$. Taylor expanding ${Ω_{0}}$ about ${x=0}$, and employing the Fourier-ballooning representation leads to a second order ODE for the amplitude envelope, ${A\left(p\right)}$ , which describes how the local results are combined to form the global mode. We employ the so-called CYCLONE base case for circular Miller equilibrium model. Assuming radially varying profiles of ${a/L_{T}}$ and ${a/L_{n}}$, peaked at ${x=0}$, and with all other equilibrium profiles held constant, ${Ω_{0}(x,p)}$ is found to have a stationary point. The reconstructed global mode sits at the outboard mid-plane of the tokamak, with global growth rate, ${γ\sim}$Max${\left[γ_{0}\right]}$. Including the radial variation of other equilibrium profiles like safety factor and magnetic shear, leads to a mode that peaks away from the outboard mid-plane, with a reduced global growth rate. Finally, the influence of toroidal flow shear has also been investigated through the introduction of a Doppler shift, ${ω_{0} \rightarrow ω_{0} - nΩ_ϕ^{\prime} x}$, where ${Ω_ϕ}$ is the equilibrium toroidal flow, and a prime denotes the radial derivative. The equilibrium profile variations introduce an asymmetry into the global growth rate spectrum with respect to the sign of ${Ω_ϕ^{\prime}}$, such that the maximum growth rate is achieved with non-zero shearing, consistent with recent global gyrokinetic calculations.
