description: This paper examines chains of $N$ coupled harmonic oscillators. In isolation, the $j$th oscillator ($1\leq j\leq N$) has the natural frequency $ω_j$ and is described by the Hamiltonian $\frac{1}{2}p_j^2+\frac{1}{2}ω_j^2x_j^2$. The oscillators are coupled adjacently with coupling constants that are purely imaginary; the coupling of the $j$th oscillator to the $(j+1)$st oscillator has the bilinear form $iγx_jx_{j+1}$ ($γ$ real). The complex Hamiltonians for these systems exhibit {\it partial} $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry; that is, they are invariant under $i\to-i$ (time reversal), $x_j\to-x_j$ ($j$ odd), and $x_j\to x_j$ ($j$ even). [They are also invariant under $i\to-i$, $x_j\to x_j$ ($j$ odd), and $x_j\to- x_j$ ($j$ even).] For all $N$ the quantum energy levels of these systems are calculated exactly and it is shown that the ground-state energy is real. When $ω_j=1$ for all $j$, the full spectrum consists of a real energy spectrum embedded in a complex one; the eigenfunctions corresponding to real energy levels exhibit partial $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry. However, if the $ω_j$ are allowed to vary away from unity, one can induce a phase transition at which {\it all} energies become real. For the special case $N=2$, when the spectrum is real, the associated classical system has localized, almost-periodic orbits in phase space and the classical particle is confined in the complex-coordinate plane. However, when the spectrum of the quantum system is partially real, the corresponding classical system displays only open trajectories for which the classical particle spirals off to infinity. Similar behavior is observed when $N>2$.

description: Aidan Huber interviews his paternal grandmother, Lorraine Huber, about life in rural Colorado and Utah, living in a coal mining town, differences between small towns and cities, and technological changes she has witnessed over time. Huber recalls her relationship with her pet dog and taking the schoolbus to high school. She discusses helping her grandparents on their farm in Colorado, where they raised livestock and grew crops. At the farm, she would pump water from a well, feed animals, and ride horses. Huber reflects on the popularity of hunting and fishing in Utah and Colorado and on the lack of a television or a telephone in her childhood home. She describes being raised by her uncle, a coal miner, and her aunt, who ran a boarding house for miners. During her adulthood, Huber moved to California and then Alaska, with her husband who was stationed there. She discusses methods of heating her home in Alaska and explains the technologies she encountered in the workplace, as an employee of a bank. Huber explains the cultural differences between urban and rural America.

description: Using field effect devices with side gates, we modulate the 2 dimensional electron gas hosted at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface to study the temperature and doping evolution of the magnetotransport. The analysis of the data reveals different transport regimes depending on the interplay between the different (elastic, inelastic, and spin-orbit) scattering times and their temperature dependencies. We find that the spin-orbit interaction strongly affects the low temperature transport in the normal state in a very large region of the phase diagram, extending beyond the superconducting dome.

description: Collective decision-making is predicted to be more egalitarian in conditions where the costs of group fission are higher. Here, we ask whether Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata) living in high or low predation environments, and thereby facing differential group fission costs, make collective decisions in line with this prediction. Using a classic decision-making scenario, we found that fish from high predation environments switched their positions within groups more frequently than fish from low predation environments. Because the relative positions individuals adopt in moving groups can influence their contribution towards group decisions, increased positional switching appears to support the prediction of more evenly distributed decision-making in populations where group fission costs are higher. In an agent-based model, we further identified that more frequent, asynchronous updating of individuals' positions could explain increased positional switching, as was observed in fish from high predation environments. Our results are consistent with theoretical predictions about the structure of collective decision-making and the adaptability of social decision-rules in the face of different environmental contexts.

description: In this paper we study the nonlinear current response of $U(1)$ spin liquids with large spinon Fermi surfaces under the perturbation of a time-dependent ac electric field $\mathbf{E}(t)$ within the framework of an effective $U(1)$ gauge theory. In particular, the third-order nonlinear current response to ac electric fields is derived. We show that as in the case of linear current response, an in-gap power-law ($\simω^η$) response is found for the nonlinear current at low frequency. The nonlinear susceptibility may also induce through process of third harmonic generation propagating EM wave with frequency $3ω$ inside the spin liquids.

Subjects: Comparative literature

description: Informed by the Object-Oriented Ontology of Graham Harman, this work endeavours to de-center the human and anthropomorphized in critical readings of literature. Instead, via readings of Kafka, Nabokov, and Borges, this project considers the roles and qualities of literary objects-- both human and non-human-- in the text. Furthermore, in its attempt to avoid the solipsism of conventional criticism, this work offers instead an acknowledgement, celebration, and engagement of the difference inherent in both texts and the objects they contain.

description: The contribution presents a reflection on the relationship between the use of assessment tools and the two-sided phenomenon of the completion rate and dropout rate in MOOCs. In support of this reflection, the experience of the MOOCs proposed by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE) within the EduOpen network is described. In particular, the data relating to the quantity and quality of the assessment tools used in the MOOCs UNIMORE and the data on the completion rates of the 5 pathways currently active in the training offer on EduOpen and, specifically, of a MOOC with a complex evaluation system and particularly high completion rates are reported.

description: We generalize the classical Bass model of innovation diffusion to include a new class of agents --- Luddites --- that oppose the spread of innovation. Our model also incorporates ignorants, susceptibles, and adopters. When an ignorant and a susceptible meet, the former is converted to a susceptible at a given rate, while a susceptible spontaneously adopts the innovation at a constant rate. In response to the \emph{rate} of adoption, an ignorant may become a Luddite and permanently reject the innovation. Instead of reaching complete adoption, the final state generally consists of a population of Luddites, ignorants, and adopters. The evolution of this system is investigated analytically and by stochastic simulations. We determine the stationary distribution of adopters, the time needed to reach the final state, and the influence of the network topology on the innovation spread. Our model exhibits an important dichotomy: when the rate of adoption is low, an innovation spreads slowly but widely; in contrast, when the adoption rate is high, the innovation spreads rapidly but the extent of the adoption is severely limited by Luddites.

Zwangsmigration im Europa des 20. Jahrhunderts:

Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag

description: This article reviews the various terminology used for “forced migration” and suggests that scholars and publicists employ language that reflects the level of violence frequently inherent in the process. Therefore terms like “forced deportation” and “ethnic cleansing” would be preferable. The piece also reviews the history of “forced migration” since the end of the 19th Century and suggests that the role of international factors, while clearly a part of the process, are frequently over-emphasized and that historians should focus on the motives, intentions, and actions of the states, political elites, and local actors that carry out the actions.

description: We compute critical properties of a general class of quantum spin chains which are quadratic in the Fermi operators and can be solved exactly under certain symmetry constraints related to the classical compact groups $U(N)$, $O(N)$ and $Sp(2N)$. In particular we calculate critical exponents $s$, $ν$ and $z$, corresponding to the energy gap, correlation length and dynamic exponent respectively. We also compute the ground state correlators $\left\langle σ^{x}_{i} σ^{x}_{i+n} \right\rangle_{g}$, $\left\langle σ^{y}_{i} σ^{y}_{i+n} \right\rangle_{g}$ and $\left\langle \prod^{n}_{i=1} σ^{z}_{i} \right\rangle_{g}$, all of which display quasi-long-range order with a critical exponent dependent upon system parameters. Our approach establishes universality of the exponents for the class of systems in question.

description: Ilyas Qureshi interviews Osman Qureshi about Pakistan's energy system. Qureshi discusses Pakistan's shortage of power and the concept of "load shedding," in which large chunks of the power grid would be shut off for hours to keep the system from collapse. He explains his own role as an investment banker working on a deal to privatize powerplants in Pakistan. Qureshi also reflects on Pakistan's reliance on imported fossil fuels and the reasons for the country's lack of investment in hydropower. Qureshi also explains the influence of government corruption and foreign companies in Pakistan's energy system. He also discusses changes in oil prices and the impact of Covid on demand. Qureshi describes the impact of environmental protests on the oil and gas industry and the co-option of climate activism by fossil fuel-reliant Gulf states. Qureshi predicts a future dependent on electric vehicles and discusses the relationship between the electric vehicle and solar panel industry in China and in the United States.

Alemtuzumab in Renal Retransplantation - Transplant Outcomes and Associated Infections
Creators: name: Harris, Taylor
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Renal retransplant patients have decreased graft survival compared to primary renal transplant patients. Alemtuzumab induction is often used at the time of retransplant; however, the literature surrounding alemtuzumab induction in renal retransplant patients is limited. In this single center, retrospective, observational study, we aimed to determine the one-year incidence of infections and transplant outcomes in renal retransplant patients who received alemtuzumab induction. Thirty four
patients who received alemtuzumab met inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Twenty-two (64.7%) of these patients acquired infections. Of these, seven patients (31.8%) acquired infections that resulted in hospitalization or IV antibiotics. The most common infections were urinary tract infections (UTIs) (n=10; 29.4%), cytomegalovirus DNAemia (n=7; 20.6%), and BK virus (n=6; 17.6%). The number of patients who developed de novo donor specific antibodies (DSA) was n=11 (32.4%) with only one of these patients having DSA prior to retransplantation. The incidence of acute cellular
rejection was 2.9% (n=1). There was no graft loss, and patient survival was 97% (n=33). There were no significant differences in infection rate or DSA development between alemtuzumab and the other
induction agents, anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and basiliximab, among retransplanted patients. Alemtuzumab induction in renal retransplant patients resulted in similar bacterial and viral infection rates as previously reported in the literature and did not negatively impact graft and patient survival.

description: Nanoscale resistive memories are expected to fuel dense integration of electronic synapses for large-scale neuromorphic system. To realize such a brain-inspired computing chip, a compact CMOS spiking neuron that performs in-situ learning and computing while driving a large number of resistive synapses is desired. This work presents a novel leaky integrate-and-fire neuron design which implements the dual-mode operation of current integration and synaptic drive, with a single opamp and enables in-situ learning with crossbar resistive synapses. The proposed design was implemented in a 0.18 $μ$m CMOS technology. Measurements show neuron's ability to drive a thousand resistive synapses, and demonstrate an in-situ associative learning. The neuron circuit occupies a small area of 0.01 mm$^2$ and has an energy-efficiency of 9.3 pJ$/$spike$/$synapse.

description: Les matrices phospho-magnésiennes (MKP pour Magnesium, potassium, K, Phosphate cements en anglais) sont des alternatives écologiques crédibles aux pâtes de ciment Portland, grâce à un temps de prise rapide et à une résistance à la compression élevée à court terme. Toutefois, à la stœchiométrie (i.e. avec un rapport molaire Mg/P de 1), la pâte présente un gonflement significatif. Ce gonflement diminue avec l’augmentation du rapport Mg/P. Ainsi, la littérature rapporte de nombreux travaux à des (Mg/P) très supérieurs à 1. Notre étude analyse le remplacement du MgO sur-stœchiométrique par des fines, de granulométrie et de finesse variables, utilisées pour améliorer à terme les performances mécaniques et la durabilité du MKP. De façon originale, la rhéologie des pâtes cimentaires est mesurée via des micro-essais d’étalement. Les avantages de cette méthode sont sa rapidité et la diminution des quantités de matières premières utilisées. Les premiers résultats donnent le rapport seuil fines/ciment (F/C) au-delà duquel le gonflement du MKP stœchiométrique disparaît.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Many pharmacologic agents used to treat CNS   disorders, such as schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, target the dopaminergic system. Recent evidence suggests an important role for the D1 dopamine receptor (D1R), with signaling enhancement being shown to improve cognitive function. While the clinical adoption of traditional D1R orthosteric agonists has been stymied by acute tolerance and adverse effects, D1R positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) present an innovative approach to amplify D1R signaling without the clinical pitfalls of other D1R agonists. This project aims to synthesize thiophene-based D1R PAMs targeting a novel D1R allosteric site, to screen for receptor selectivity, and to optimize potentiation.

description: O objetivo deste manual é abordar, de forma simples e interessante, os temas que serão lecionados na unidade curricular de Liderança, Comunicação e Mudança. O principal objetivo é propor um manual de estudo relacionado com os temas de Liderança, Comunicação e Mudança e o seu foco são essencialmente os estudantes do mestrado em Contabilidade e Gestão das Instituições Financeiras do Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração de Lisboa, do Politécnico de Lisboa.

Neste manual, em primeiro lugar, fez-se o esforço intelectual de recompilar e dar forma aos conteúdos teóricos, que foram moldando o corpo de conhecimentos que na atualidade se integram na gestão das organizações e, em segundo lugar, a visão derivada da experiencia docente no que respeita à metodologia para a formação dos alunos universitários neste campo.

Competitividade, globalização da economia, vantagens competitivas, melhoria da qualidade, redução de custos, cultura empresarial…Todos estes e muitos mais são termos que habitualmente escutamos dos gestores, políticos, jornalistas, etc, quando se referem ou discutem sobre o mundo empresarial atual.

As empresas movem-se hoje em dia num contexto extremamente difícil, em que cada vez há mais e valiosos competidores. A concorrência entre as empresas é cada vez mais aberta e mais difícil. A envolvente está em constante mudança, as fronteiras económicas entre os países vão desaparecendo. Deste modo, esta sebenta converte-se num manual de trabalho, em conjunto com casos práticos e atuais analisados em sala de aula, formando assim o corpo teórico.

description: Light-by-light scatterings contain rich information on the photon coupling to virtual and real particle states. In the context of quantum electrodynamics (QED), photons can couple to a virtual $e^+e^-$ pair. Photons may also couple to known resonance states in the context of quantum chromodyanmics and electroweak dynamics in higher energy domains and possibly couple to unknown resonance states beyond the starndard model. The perturbative QED calculations manifestly predict the maximized cross section at the MeV scale, however, any example of the exact real-photon - real-photon scattering has not been observed hitherto. Hence, we propose the direct measurement with the maximized cross-section at the center-of-mass system energy of 1-2 MeV to establish the firm footing at the MeV scale. Given currently state-of-the-art high power lasers, the helicity dependent elastic scattering may be observed at a reasonable rate, if a photon-photon collider exploiting $γ$-rays generated by the inverse nonlinear Compton process with electrons delivered from laser-plasma accelerators (LPA) are properly designed. We show that such verification is feasible in a table-top scale collider which may be an unprecedented breakthrough in particle accelerators for basic physics research in contrast to energy frontier colliders.

description: Advances in nanofabrication methods have enabled the tailoring of new strategies towards the controlled production of nanoparticles with attractive applications in healthcare. In many cases, their characterisation remains a big challenge, particularly for small-sized functional nanoparticles of 5 nm diameter or smaller, where current particle sizing techniques struggle to provide the required sensitivity and accuracy. There is a clear need for the development of new reliable characterisation approaches for the physico-chemical characterisation of nanoparticles with significant accuracy, particularly for the analysis of the particles in the presence of complex biological fluids. Herein, we show that the Differential Centrifugal Sedimentation can be utilised as a high-precision tool for the reliable characterisation of functional nanoparticles of different materials. We report a method to correlate the sedimentation shift with the polymer and biomolecule adsorption on the nanoparticle surface, validating the developed core–shell model. We also highlight its limit when measuring nanoparticles of smaller size and the need to use several complementary methods when characterising nanoparticle corona complexes.

Towards a RIOK2 chemical probe: cellular potency improvement of a selective 2-(acylamino)pyridine series
Creators: name: Wang, Christopher
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: RIOK2 is an understudied kinase associated with a variety of human cancers including non-small  cell  lung cancer and glioblastoma.  No potent,  selective,  and cell-active chemical  probe currently exists for RIOK2. Such a reagent would expedite re-search into the biological functions of RIOK2  and  validate  it as a therapeutic target. Herein, we describe the synthesis of naphthyl–pyridine based compounds that have improved cellular activity while maintaining selectivity for RIOK2. While our compounds do  not  represent  RIOK2  chemical probes, they are the best available tool molecules to begin to characterize RIOK2 function in vitro.

Utilizing multimodal analgesia to evaluate postoperative analgesic requirements in kidney transplant recipients
Creators: name: Muir, Michele

description: The use of non-opioid analgesics following surgery has proven beneficial in managing pain and decreasing adverse outcomes following surgery. Data assessing outcomes related to opioid use is limited in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). We evaluated the effectiveness of implementing a reduced to no opioid use protocol in KTRs. This retrospective cohort study included adult KTRs between January 2017 and July 2019 with a multimodal analgesic protocol (MAP), focused on limiting opioids, implemented in August 2018. We compared analgesic requirements in morphine milligram equivalents (MME) during transplant admissions between the MAP cohort and traditional cohort. There were 217 KTRs who met criteria. Inpatient opioid use was significantly reduced in the MAP cohort (16.5 + 19.2 MME/day vs 24.7 + 19.7 MME/day; p <0.05) with no significant difference in pain scores. No use of opioids within six months of discharge was significantly increased in the MAP cohort (50% vs 7%; p <0.001) and there were no reported deaths at six months in either cohort. The use of multimodal analgesia is beneficial in KTRs to provide adequate pain control with limited to no exposure of opioids during admission or at discharge.
Confronting effective models for deconfinement in dense quark matter with lattice data

description: Ab initio numerical simulations of the thermodynamics of dense quark matter remain a challenge. Apart from the infamous sign problem, lattice methods have to deal with finite volume and discretization effects as well as with the necessity to introduce sources for symmetry-breaking order parameters. We study these artifacts in the Polyakov-loop-extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, and compare its predictions to existing lattice data for cold and dense two-color matter with two flavors of Wilson quarks. To achieve even qualitative agreement with lattice data requires the introduction of two novel elements in the model: (i) explicit chiral symmetry breaking in the effective contact four-fermion interaction, referred to as the chiral twist, and (ii) renormalization of the Polyakov loop. The feedback of the dense medium to the gauge sector is modeled by a chemical-potential-dependent scale in the Polyakov-loop potential. In contrast to previously used analytical ansaetze, we determine its dependence on the chemical potential from lattice data for the expectation value of the Polyakov loop. Finally, we propose to add a two-derivative operator to our effective model. This term acts as an additional source of explicit chiral symmetry breaking, mimicking an analogous term in the lattice Wilson action.

description: Emily Shi interviews Mu Ying about energy transitions in China. Mu Ying discusses growing up in a wealthy family in Beijing and living in a home with a radiator, while many other families used coal for warmth. She reflects on regional differences in fuel and the shift toward solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy in many regions of China. Mu Ying describes her family relying on domestic servants for household work and recalls traveling with rickshaws and later bicycles. She also discusses the impact of the invasion of Japan in the late 1930s and early 1940s on fuel availability and the economy of the country. Mu Ying reflects on air pollution in China and the gradual implementation of environmental protection measures after the cultural revolution. She also discusses how women benefited from the transition from coal to natural gas, which allowed more time for leisure. She also describes visiting the United States as a scholar in the 1980s, comparing the two countries' use of energy.

description: Am 8.7.1945, einem Sonntag, trafen sich zwölf Hamburger Juden in der
Wohnung von Chaim Golenzer, Rutschbahn 25a, einem sogenannten
„Judenhaus
[http://www.dasjuedischehamburg.de/inhalt/%C2%BBjudenh%C3%A4user%C2%AB]“,
in der Absicht, die durch das NS-Regime vernichtete Gemeinde zu
reorganisieren. Sie waren ehemalige Mitglieder der
Deutsch-Israelitischen Gemeinde zu Hamburg. Die Aussprache eröffnete
Josef Gottlieb, der vermutlich den Anstoß zur Gründung der
jüdischen Gemeinde in Hamburg gegeben hat. Die Versammelten waren
jedoch nicht die einzigen, die sich für eine Reorganisation der
ehemaligen Gemeinde interessierten. Das Versammlungsprotokoll vom 8.
Juli verweist auf etwa 80 Juden, die sich „gemeldet“ hätten. Ein
undatierter Aufruf mit der Überschrift „Es werden Vorbereitungen
getroffen unsere alte Juedische Gemeinde neu ins Leben zu rufen“
verzeichnete die Namen von 77 Männern und 25 Frauen. Das Protokoll
zeigt, dass die Versammlung der Zwölf nicht nur eine lose
Besprechung, sondern zielgerichtet konzipiert war.

description: Microplastic (MP) is a pervasive pollutant in nature that is colonised by diverse groups of microbes, including potentially pathogenic species. Fungi have been largely neglected in this context, despite their affinity for plastics and their impact as pathogens. To unravel the role of MP as a carrier of fungal pathogens in terrestrial ecosystems and the immediate human environment, epiplastic mycobiomes from municipal plastic waste from Kenya were deciphered using ITS metabarcoding as well as a comprehensive meta-analysis, and visualised via scanning electron as well as confocal laser scanning microscopy. Metagenomic and microscopic findings provided complementary evidence that the terrestrial plastisphere is a suitable ecological niche for a variety of fungal organisms, including important animal and plant pathogens, which formed the plastisphere core mycobiome. We show that MPs serve as selective artificial microhabitats that not only attract distinct fungal communities, but also accumulate certain opportunistic human pathogens, such as cryptococcal and Phoma-like species. Therefore, MP must be regarded a persistent reservoir and potential vector for fungal pathogens in soil environments. Given the increasing amount of plastic waste in terrestrial ecosystems worldwide, this interrelation may have severe consequences for the trans-kingdom and multi-organismal epidemiology of fungal infections on a global scale.

description: Recent work has focused on the roots z of the Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polytope P. The case when Re(z) = -1/2 is of particular interest: these polytopes satisfy Golyshev's "canonical line hypothesis". We characterise such polytopes when dim(P) <= 7. We also consider the "half-strip condition", where all roots z satisfy -dim(P)/2 <= Re(z) <= dim(P)/2-1, and show that this holds for any reflexive polytope with dim(P) <= 5. We give an example of a 10-dimensional reflexive polytope which violates the half-strip condition, thus improving on an example by Ohsugi--Shibata in dimension 34.

description: We show how to generate any recursively enumerable language with a non-returning
PC grammar system having eight context-free components. This is an improvement
of descriptional complexity compared to the previously known construction where the
number of component grammars depends on the generated language and can be arbitrarily
high.
