description: In this work, we investigated the spin dynamics in a slab of chiral magnets induced by an alternating (ac) spin current. Periodic trajectories of the skyrmion in real space are discovered under the ac current as a result of the Magnus and viscous forces, which originate from the Gilbert damping, the spin transfer torque, and the $ β$-nonadiabatic torque effects. The results are obtained by numerically solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and can be explained by the Thiele equation characterizing the skyrmion core motion.

description: Due to the ease of synthesis and the ability to easily tune properties, organic semiconductors are widely researched and used in many optoelectronic applications. Requirements such as thermal stability, appropriate energy levels and charge carrier mobility have to be met in order to consider suitability of an organic semiconductor for specific application. Balancing of said properties is not a trivial task, often one characteristic is sacrificed to improve the other, therefore search for well-balanced materials is necessary. Herein seven new charge-transporting biphenyl-based enamine molecules are reported. The new materials were synthesized using a simple one-step reaction without the use of expensive transition metal catalysts. It was observed that subtle variations in the structure lead to notable changes in the properties. Materials exhibited high thermal stability and relatively high carrier drift mobility, reaching 2 × 10−2 cm2V−1 s−1 (for BE3) at strong electric fields. Based on the results, three materials show the potential to be applied in organic light emitting diodes and solar cells.

description: We have investigated the efficacy of two recently proposed variations of the pair-natural-orbital approach to reducing the scaling of coupled cluster property calculations. In particular, we have extended our implementations of the PNO++ and combined PNO++ methods, which make use of field-aware pair-densities to define the virtual-orbital spaces used to describe electron correlation effects, in order to test their accuracy, efficiency, and robustness on larger molecular systems than previously investigated. For fluoroalkane chains up to 1-fluoroheptane we find that the PNO++ and combined PNO++ methods yield smaller truncation errors in response properties than PNO for similarly compact virtual spaces, and, while the PNO method performs better than the PNO++ method for correlation energies, the combined PNO++ method recovers similar accuracy for correlation energies to the PNO method. For more three-dimensional molecular structures such as α- and β−pinenes, the PNO, PNO++, and combined PNO++ methods all yield similar errors for response properties, whereas for (S)-1-phenylethanol, the PNO method performs slightly better than the other two approaches. We also investigate the use of a product density to define the virtual space, as well as two candidates for defining weak-pair contributions.

description: In multi-field inflation one or more non-adiabatic modes may become light, potentially inducing large levels of isocurvature perturbations in the cosmic microwave background. If in addition these light modes are coupled to the adiabatic mode, they influence its evolution on super horizon scales. Here we consider the case in which a non-adiabatic mode becomes approximately massless ("ultralight") while still coupled to the adiabatic mode, a typical situation that arises with pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons or moduli. This ultralight mode freezes on super-horizon scales and acts as a constant source for the curvature perturbation, making it grow linearly in time and effectively suppressing the isocurvature component. We identify a Stuckelberg-like emergent shift symmetry that underlies this behavior. As inflation lasts for many e-folds, the integrated effect of this source enhances the power spectrum of the adiabatic mode, while keeping the non-adiabatic spectrum approximately untouched. In this case, towards the end of inflation all the fluctuations, adiabatic and non-adiabatic, are dominated by a single degree of freedom.

description: We construct $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric nonlocal theories in four dimension. We discuss higher derivative extensions of chiral and vector superfields, and write down generic forms of Kähler potential and superpotential up to quadratic order. We derive the condition in which an auxiliary field remains non-dynamical, and the dynamical scalars and fermions are free from the ghost degrees of freedom. We also investigate the nonlocal effects on the supersymmetry breaking and find that supertrace (mass) formula is significantly modified even at the tree level.

description: Das Thema der kapitalmarktorientierten Unternehmensführung hat im Rahmen der Forschung in der Betriebswirtschaftslehre, dem strategischen Management im Speziellen, in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten zunehmend an Beachtung gefunden. Gleichzeitig werden in der Praxis häufig strategische Entscheidungen von Unternehmen, die zum Erfolg beitragen sollen, infrage gestellt. Aufgrund dessen wird, vorwiegend in der Forschung im US-amerikanischen Raum, ein Bewertungsunterschied zwischen diversifizierten und fokussierten Unternehmen am Kapitalmarkt nachgewiesen und untersucht. Die vorliegende Arbeit beantwortet folgende zwei Fragen: Unterliegen deutsche börsennotierte, diversifizierte Unternehmen, verglichen mit fokussierten Unternehmen, einem Bewertungsunterschied und ist dieser im Durchschnitt negativ? Kann der Bewertungsunterschied von deutschen Unternehmen am Kapitalmarkt durch einen strategischen Wandel bzw. eine strategische Ausrichtung beeinflusst werden? Mittels einer Excess Value-Berechnung und anschließenden Regressionsanalysen konnte ein durchschnittlich negativer Bewertungsunterschied – ein Diversification Discount – für deutsche diversifizierte Unternehmen nachgewiesen werden. Des Weiteren konnten der Diversifikationsgrad, die Branchenzugehörigkeit sowie die Verfolgung der Kostenführerschaftsstrategie als Einflussfaktoren auf den Discount identifiziert werden. Die Verfolgung der Differenzierungsstrategie und die Durchführung eines strategischen Wandels konnten nicht als Einflussfaktor bestätigt werden. Die Arbeit gibt erste Ansatzpunkte für die weitere Erforschung des Einflusses des strategischen Managements auf einen Bewertungsunterschied und die Identifikation weiterer Einflussfaktoren, im Speziellen für deutsche kapitalmarktorientierte Unternehmen.

description: We study the effect of the electron-phonon coupling on vibrational eigenmodes of nano- and micro-mechanical systems made of semiconductors with equivalent energy valleys. We show that the coupling can lead to a strong mode nonlinearity. The mechanism is the lifting of the valley degeneracy by the strain. The redistribution of the electrons between the valleys is controlled by a large ratio of the electron-phonon coupling constant to the electron chemical potential or temperature. We find the quartic in the strain terms in the electron free energy, which determine the amplitude dependence of the mode frequencies. This dependence is calculated for silicon micro-systems. It is significantly different for different modes and the crystal orientation, and can vary nonmonotonously with the electron density and temperature.

Parafermionic wires at the interface of chiral topological states

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We explore a scenario where local interactions form one-dimensional gapped interfaces between a pair of distinct chiral two-dimensional topological states - referred to as phases 1 and 2 - such that each gapped region terminates at a domain wall separating the chiral gapless edge states of these phases. We show that this type of T-junction supports point-like fractionalized excitations obeying parafermion statistics, thus implying that the one-dimensional gapped interface forms an effective topological parafermionic wire possessing a non-trivial ground state degeneracy. The physical properties of the anyon condensate that gives rise to the gapped interface are investigated. Remarkably, this condensate causes the gapped interface to behave as a type of anyon "Andreev reflector" in the bulk, whereby anyons from one phase, upon hitting the interface, can be transformed into a combination of reflected anyons and outgoing anyons from the other phase. Thus, we conclude that while different topological orders can be connected via gapped interfaces, the interfaces are themselves topological.

description: Mathematics itself avoids blunders by being well defined and well proved. However, mathematics education fails its goal by making blunder after blunder at all levels from grade 1 to 12. This paper uses the techniques of natural learning and natural research to separate natural mathematics from killer-mathematics. Two digit numbers, addition, fractions, balancing equations, and calculus are examples of mathematics that has been turned upside down creating the metamatism that killed mathematics and turned natural Enlightenment mathematics into modern missionary set-salvation.

description: Im Umgang mit Kindern mit herausforderndem Verhalten schaukeln sich Konflikte oft zu Machtkämpfen auf. Es folgen Ermahnungen, Drohungen, Bestrafungen und Ausschlüsse aus der Klasse. Nach Ross W. Greene (2012) wirken diese Massnahmen bei jenen Kindern jedoch nicht oder nur bedingt. Er geht davon aus, dass auffälliges Verhalten hauptsächlich auf fehlende Kompetenzen zurückzuführen ist. Auf der Grundlage dieses Verständnisses zeigt er mit dem Modell des kollaborativen und proaktiven Problemlösens (CPS) einen konstruktiven Umgang mit herausforderndem Verhalten auf. In der vorliegenden empirischen Arbeit wird mittels Fragebogen und Interview qualitativ der folgenden Frage nachgegangen: Inwiefern kann das Modell “CPS“ Kinder und schulische Fachpersonen1 in herausfordernden Situationen auf der Kindergarten- und Unterstufe unterstützen? Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine positive Veränderung bezüglich des Verhaltens erkennbar ist. Das Modell bietet die Chance, die Selbstwirksamkeit zu erhöhen und die Handlungskompetenz zu erweitern. Der Beziehung kommt in diesem Prozess eine zentrale Bedeutung zu.

description: Topological phase transitions, which have fascinated generations of physicists, are always demarcated by gap closures. In this work, we propose very simple 2D photonic crystal lattices with gap closure points, i.e. band degeneracies protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry. Our photonic structures are relatively easy to fabricate, consisting of two inequivalent dielectric cylinders per unit cell. Along high symmetry directions, they exhibit line degeneracies protected by glide reflection symmetry, which we explicitly demonstrate for $pg,pmg,pgg$ and $p4g$ nonsymmorphic groups. In the presence of time reversal symmetry, they also exhibit point degeneracies (Dirac points) protected by a $Z_2$ topological number associated with crystalline symmetry. Strikingly, the robust protection of $pg$-symmetry allows a Lifshitz transition to a type II Dirac cone across a wide range of experimentally accessible parameters, thus providing a convenient route for realizing anomalous refraction. Further potential applications include a stoplight device based on electrically induced strain that dynamically switches the lattice symmetry from $pgg$ to the higher $p4g$ symmetry. This controls the coalescence of Dirac points and hence the group velocity within the crystal.

description: Healthcare complaints are an under utilised source of information for safety improvement, particularly in general practice settings. Within general practice in Ireland, complaints management is dependent on individual practice policies, with little standardisation nationally, impeding their use for safety improvement. There is a need to understand factors that contribute to unlocking the potential of complaints for safety improvement in general practice in Ireland and internationally. To explore perceptions of healthcare complaints of general practitioners, practice nurses and managers, medico-legal professionals, and policymakers. Participants were recruited using convenience sampling. Interviews were conducted from November 2019–May 2020, based on a semi-structured interview guide. Data were then transcribed and analysed using content analysis. An iterative process was applied to identify emerging themes from the interviews. A total of 29 participants (19 female, 10 male) were interviewed. Three themes emerged from the analysis, ‘why patients submit complaints’, ‘management of complaints’, and ‘impact of complaints’. Subthemes included ‘barriers and facilitators to complaining’, ‘practice processes’ for complaints management, and ‘impacts on staff’ of complaints, among others. There is a lot to be learned about how individuals experience complaints, however, this study adds to existing knowledge. The findings from this study can be used to tackle challenges facing complaints management in general practice, including the barriers to complaining for patients and the negative impacts of complaints on the staff, and can also help to build on positive aspects of complaints such as the desire for systemic change among interested parties.

description: Despite the abundance of bipartite networked systems, their organizing principles are less studied, compared to unipartite networks. Bipartite networks are often analyzed after projecting them onto one of the two sets of nodes. As a result of the projection, nodes of the same set are linked together if they have at least one neighbor in common in the bipartite network. Even though these projections allow one to study bipartite networks using tools developed for unipartite networks, one-mode projections lead to significant loss of information and artificial inflation of the projected network with fully connected subgraphs. Here we pursue a different approach for analyzing bipartite systems that is based on the observation that such systems have a latent metric structure: network nodes are points in a latent metric space, while connections are more likely to form between nodes separated by shorter distances. This approach has been developed for unipartite networks, and relatively little is known about its applicability to bipartite systems. Here, we fully analyze a simple latent-geometric model of bipartite networks, and show that this model explains the peculiar structural properties of many real bipartite systems, including the distributions of common neighbors and bipartite clustering. We also analyze the geometric information loss in one-mode projections in this model, and propose an efficient method to infer the latent pairwise distances between nodes. Uncovering the latent geometry underlying real bipartite networks can find applications in diverse domains, ranging from constructing efficient recommender systems to understanding cell metabolism.

description: In France, general practitioners (GPs) may use two tools specifically designed to help employees who experience difficulties in returning to work after sick leave: the pre-return-to-work (PRW) medical consultation and therapeutic part-time (TPT) work. The objective was to investigate the level of knowledge and use of these two tools by GPs in Maine-et-Loire, France. This cross-sectional study was performed using a telephone questionnaire to evaluate the level of knowledge of GPs and the use of these two tools in patients having difficulties returning to work. Among the 200 randomly selected GPs, 122 responded (response rate: 61%). More than half of the interviewed GPs declared they ‘often’ (46%) or ‘always’ (14%) contacted the occupational physician in these situations. Moreover, 62.2% and 32.7% believed that they had a ‘vague’ or ‘very good’ level of knowledge, and 41% and 51% declared either ‘frequent’ or ‘regular’ level of use of the PRW medical consultation, respectively. Regarding TPT work, 47% and 53% reported a ‘very good’ or ‘vague’ level of knowledge, and 41% and 51% a ‘frequent’ or ‘regular’ level of use, respectively. GPs who had a better level of knowledge of this tool reported a higher level of use (p This study shows that while the level of knowledge and use of the PRW medical consultation and TPT work is good, it is not optimal. This could be improved by organising training courses for GPs. Obstacles to their wider use could be investigated further in a qualitative study.

description: The role of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the central mechanism of neuropathic pain and long-term potentiation (LTP) of peripheral afferents remains obscure. The current study investigated the effect of intrathecal application of 7-nitroindazole (7-NI), a selective nNOS inhibitor (8.15 μg/5μl), on mechanical allodynia on day 14 after L5 spinal nerve transection. Furthermore, using in vivo single unit extracellular recording, we examined the effect of 7-NI on the induction of LTP of Aδ- and C-fiber-evoked responses. We have demonstrated that 7-NI attenuates nerve-injury-evoked mechanical allodynia. Additionally, our electrophysiological study has shown that the spinal administration of 7-NI significantly inhibits the induction of the LTP of Aδ- and C-fiber-evoked responses on day 14 after neuropathy. These data suggest that activation of nNOS may be crucial for the induction of the spinal LTP of Aδ- and C-fiber-evoked responses following peripheral nerve damage.

Zwei Trainingsprogramme, die Lesestrategien vermitteln, wurden mittels einer Interventionsstudie auf ihre Wirksamkeit hin verglichen. Die Interventionsgruppen trainierten altersgemischt mit je einem Programm, die Kontrollgruppe folgte dem Leseunterricht in der Klasse. Die aus standardisierten Lesetests gewonnenen und verarbeiteten Daten zeigten auf, dass vor allem schwächer lesende Kinder von den Programmen profitierten. Bei den Kindern der 3. Klasse konnte eine Angleichung der Leseleistungen im Klassenvergleich festgestellt werden. Bei den Kindern der 4. Klasse zeigte das Programm mit individuellen Arbeitsformen grössere Wirkung. Für die Verfasserin der Arbeit resultierten aus den Erkenntnissen wichtige Hinweise für die Umsetzung einer gezielten Förderung des Leseverstehens im schulischen Bereich.

description: The thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part is devoted to the development of a new distribution-free control chart for multivariate data, the study of its properties and comparison of its performance against alternative procedures. In Chapter 2, the principles used to construct the new control chart are given and its statistical design is proposed. Simulations are conducted in Chapters 3 and 4 in order to assess its applicability and to compare its performance against alternative procedures, respectively. The second part of the thesis is devoted to the introduction and modelling of the drilling process and experimental investigation of the performance of the proposed monitoring strategies. In Chapter 5, the BTA deep-hole drilling process is introduced. Previous work to understand and to predict the temporal development of the process is reviewed in Chapter 6. Based on it, a modelling approach of the sampled data is proposed in order to setup the monitoring procedures. In Chapter 7, nonlinear time series modelling is used to describe the time varying dynamics of the process. It provides the basis of nonlinear time series based control charts. In Chapter 8, the empirical performance of the proposed monitoring strategies is studied using several data sets. Finally, some thoughts and discussion for possible future research issues are given in Chapter 9.

description: We use assembly maps to study $\mathbf{TC}(\mathbb{A}[G];p)$, the topological cyclic homology at a prime $p$ of the group algebra of a discrete group $G$ with coefficients in a connective ring spectrum $\mathbb{A}$. For any finite group, we prove that the assembly map for the family of cyclic subgroups is an isomorphism on homotopy groups. For infinite groups, we establish pro-isomorphism, (split) injectivity, and rational injectivity results, as well as counterexamples to injectivity and surjectivity. In particular, for hyperbolic groups and for virtually finitely generated abelian groups, we show that the assembly map for the family of virtually cyclic subgroups is injective but in general not surjective.

description: Background: HIV/AIDS is known to be one of the most catastrophic diseases that have confronted humanity in living memory. Even though there are segments of disadvantaged social groups who are at risk HIV infection due to their lower level of socio economic capacity it is believed that people with disability are more vulnerable to HIV infection. Objective: To assess the risky sexual practices, accessibility and utilization of HIV service among people with disability in Addis Ababa City Administration. Materials and methods: Between September 2010 and April 2011, a cross sectional community based survey was conducted using interviewer administered questionnaire of 417 people with disabilities found from associations of people with disabilities in Addis Ababa City Administration. This was supplemented with focus group discussions with disabilities for access and utilization of HIV services. The findings were described and analyzed using SPSS version 16. Result: Based on the findings, more than half (60%) of study participants were sexually active and a third of them (28.4%) had initiated sex before 18 years. Almost half (48%) of these did not use condoms consistently and 33.6% had multiple sexual partners. Majority (92.8%) have information for existence of HIV services in the country. About 72% of all participants have ever utilized some kind of HIV services ever. Female respondents were nearly 2.5 times more likely to use condoms than males irrespective of type of disabilities [AOR (95%CI) 2.46 (1.28-4.71)]. Those ever married were 2.5 times more likely to use condoms than singles [AOR (95%CI) 2.54(1.49-4.35)]. Visually impaired participants are about 2 times more likely to have multiple sexual partners than those of physically impaired [AOR (95%CI) 1.90(1.02-3.55)]. In addition, those who were singles are 45% less likely to have multiple sexual partners than those of ever married [AOR (95%CI) 0.55(0.31- 0.97)]. Regarding utilization of HIV services, hearing impaired participants were about two times more likely to have utilized any HIV services than those of visual impaired [AOR (95%CI) 2.12(1.13-3.98)]. Conclusions: In general, the findings in this study showed poor access to information, less convenient of facilities and low utilization of HIV service among people with disabilities. Improving access to information on HIV through targeting PWDs, support to HIV service providers in developing disability sensitive communication materials and improving health service delivery systems to take care of disability are recommended

description: The notion of time is given a different footing in Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity, treated as a parameter in the former and being an observer dependent property in the later. From a operational point of view time is simply the correlation between a system and a clock, where an idealized clock can be modelled as a two level systems. We investigate the dynamics of clocks interacting gravitationally by treating the gravitational interaction as a classical information channel. In particular, we focus on the decoherence rates and temporal resolution of arrays of $N$ clocks showing how the minimum dephasing rate scales with $N$, and the spatial configuration. Furthermore, we consider the gravitational redshift between a clock and massive particle and show that a classical channel model of gravity predicts a finite dephasing rate from the non-local interaction. In our model we obtain a fundamental limitation in time accuracy that is intrinsic to each clock.

description: To curb future antibiotic resistance it is important to monitor and investigate current prescription patterns of antibiotics. To examine trends in antibiotic prescription to children aged 0–6 years old and the association with socioeconomic status of municipalities in the Capital region of Denmark between 2009 and 2018. This is a register-based study combining data on antibiotic treatments from 2009 to 2018, inhabitant-data and socioeconomic municipality scores. Subjects were children aged 0–6 years, residing in the Capital Region of Denmark. The study quantifies the use of antibiotics as number of antibiotic treatments/1000 inhabitants/year (TIY), inhabitants defined as children aged 0–6. Socioeconomic status of the municipalities is evaluated by a score from 3 to 12. The average TIY of the municipalities decreased from 741.2 [95%CI 689.3–793.2] in 2009 to 348.9 [329.4–368.4] in 2018. The difference between the highest and lowest prescribing municipalities was reduced from 648.3 TIY in 2009–212.5 TIY in 2018. The average increase in TIY per unit increase in socioeconomic municipality score changed from 20.05 [7.69–31.06] in 2009 to −4.58 [-16.02–5.60] in 2018, representing a decreasing association between socioeconomic municipality score and use of antibiotic in the respective municipalities. The trend in antibiotic prescription to children aged 0–6 years old decreased substantially in all the investigated municipalities in the 10-year study period. Local differences in prescription rates declined towards a more uniform prescription pattern across municipalities and association with socioeconomic status of the municipalities was reduced.

description: We study Weyl semimetals in the presence of generic disorder, consisting of a random vector potential as well as a random scalar potential. We derive renormalization group flow equations to second order in the disorder strength. These flow equations predict a disorder-induced phase transition between a pseudo-ballistic weak-disorder phase and a diffusive strong-disorder phase for sufficiently strong random scalar potential or for a pure three-component random vector potential. We verify these predictions using a numerical study of the density of states near the Weyl point and of quantum transport properties at the Weyl point. In contrast, for a pure single-component random vector potential the diffusive strong-disorder phase is absent.

description: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is rising and increases patient healthcare costs due to extended hospitalisation, tests and medications. Management of CDI in French primary care is poorly reported. To characterise patients suffering from CDI, managed in primary care and describe their clinical outcomes. Retrospective observational study based on survey data among 500 randomly selected General Practitioners (GPs) surveyed in France from September 2018 to April 2019. GPs were asked to complete a multiple-choice questionnaire for each reported patient presenting a CDI. Responses were analysed according to clinical characteristics. Treatment strategies were compared according to the outcome: recovery or recurrent infection. Participation rate was 8.6% (n = 43/500) with two incomplete questionnaires. Data from 41 patients with an actual diagnosis of CDI were analysed. Recovery was observed in 61% of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CDI. In the recovery group, this was exclusively a primary episode, most patients (72%) had no comorbidities, were significantly younger (p = 0.02) than the ones who relapsed and 92% were successfully treated with oral metronidazole. Duration of diarrhoea after antimicrobial treatment initiation was significantly shorter in the recovery group (≤ 48 h) (p = 0.03). Cooperation with hospital specialists was reported in 28% of the recovery group versus 87.5% of the recurrent group (p = 0.0003). Overall, GPs managed successfully 82.9% of cases without need of hospital admission. GPs provide relevant ambulatory care for mild primary episodes of CDI using oral metronidazole. Persistent diarrhoea despite an appropriate anti-Clostridiodes regimen should be interpreted as an early predictor of relapse.
