description: By means of the unitary transformation, a new way for discussing the ordering prescription of Schrodinger equation with a position-dependent mass (PDM) for isospectral Hamiltonian operators is presented. We show that the ambiguity parameter choices in the kinetic part of the Hamiltonian can be explained through an exact SUSY symmetry as well as a consequence of an accidental symmetry under the Z2 action. By making use of the unitary transformation, we construct coherent states for a family of PDM isospectral Hamiltonians from a suitable choice of ladder operators. We show that these states preserve the usual structure of Klauder-Perelomov s states and thus saturate and minimize the generalized position-momentum uncertainty relation (GUR) under some special restrictions. We show that GURs properties can be used to determine the sign of the superpotential.

description: Spectra of comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) were taken with a low resolution spectrograph mounted on the 0.5 m telescope at the Mount Abu Infrared Observatory (MIRO), India during January to May 2015 covering the perihelion and post-perihelion periods. The spectra showed strong molecular emission bands (C2, C3 and CN) in January, close to perihelion. We have obtained the scale lengths for these molecules by fitting the Haser model to the observed column densities. The variation of gas production rates and production rate ratios with heliocentric distance were studied. The extent of the dust continuum using the Af-rho parameter and its variation with the heliocentric distance were also investigated. The comet is seen to become more active in the post-perihelion phase, thereby showing an asymmetric behaviour about the perihelion.

description: Nowadays, while the demand for capacity continues to expand, the blossoming of Internet of Everything is bringing in a paradigm shift to new perceptions of communication networks, ushering in a plethora of totally unique services. To provide these services, Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) must be established and reachable by end-users, which will generate and consume massive volumes of data that must be processed locally for service responsiveness and scalability. For this to be realized, a solid cloud-network Integrated infrastructure is a necessity, and since cloud and network domains would be diverse in terms of characteristics but limited in terms of capability, communication and computing resources should be jointly controlled to unleash its full potential. Although several innovative methods have been proposed to allocate the resources, most of them either ignored network resources or relaxed the network as a simple graph, which are not applicable to Beyond 5G because of its dynamism and stringent QoS requirements. This paper fills in the gap by studying the joint problem of communication and computing resource allocation, dubbed CCRA, including VNF placement and assignment, traffic prioritization, and path selection considering capacity constraints as well as link and queuing delays, with the goal of minimizing overall cost. We formulate the problem as a non-linear programming model, and propose two approaches, dubbed B\&B-CCRA and WF-CCRA respectively, based on the Branch \& Bound and Water-Filling algorithms. Numerical simulations show that B\&B-CCRA can solve the problem optimally, whereas WF-CCRA can provide near-optimal solutions in significantly less time.
Semihadronic and hadronic decays of $ρ^0$ and $ω$ mesons coherently photoproduced in the isoscalar nuclei

description: The interference of the $ρ^0$ and $ω$ mesons has been studied in the hadronic and leptonic decay channels, i.e., dipion and dilepton decay channels respectively, but this interference is not studied yet in the semihadronic or semileptonic decay channel, e.g., $V \to π^0γ$. $V$ denotes either $ρ^0$ or $ω$ meson. To look for the quoted interference in the $π^0γ$ decay channel as well as the contribution of $ρ$ meson to the cross section, the correlated $π^0γ$ invariant mass distribution spectra are calculated in the photonuclear reaction in the multi-GeV region. It is assumed that these bosons arise in the final state due to the decay of $ρ^0$ and $ω$ mesons which are photoproduced coherently in the isoscalar nucleus. The elementary reaction in the nucleus is considered to proceed as $γN \to VN$; $V \to π^0γ$. The forward propagation of the $ρ$ and $ω$ mesons and the near forward emission of pion are considered, so that they can be described by the eikonal form. The meson nucleus interactions are evaluated using $t\varrho$ approximation. Replacing the decay vertex $V \to π^0γ$ by $V \to π^+π^-$ in the above formalism, it is also used to study the $ρ-ω$ interference in the $π^+π^-$ decay channel.

An attempt to describe and understand moments of experiential meaning within the dance therapy process for a patient with dementia
Creators: name: Hill, Heather
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Abstract: This minor thesis reports an attempt to describe and understand moments of experiential meaning within the dance therapy process for a patient with dementia. It also documents an attempt to develop a methodology which could adequately grasp the complexities of such an experience. A phenomenological approach with its emphasis on allowing the phenomenon to reveal itself through multiple perspectives seemed the most appropriate for this study. However, while phenomenology influenced the format of the dance therapy sessions as well as the constitution and analysis of the data, ultimately a hermeneutic analysis was employed for further explication of the material. The study consisted of four individual dance therapy sessions with an 85 year old patient with moderate dementia. The researcher/therapist worked improvisationally and a music therapist provided improvised music.After the sessions, all of which were videotaped, the patient was videotaped viewing the dance session video, in order to obtain her verbal or non-verbal responses to the material. It was decided to focus on the "significant moments", selected intuitively as moments which seemed high points of the session. A naive description was made, on which an adaptation of Giorgi's four-phase method of analysis was applied. Certain foci, such as energy flow, were identified and individually described. In time, it became clear that the written descriptions alone were insufficient and that reflection would need to cover all the material from multiple sources and perspectives. This was done, and the data were later further explicated by reference to writings on dance therapy, dance aesthetics and the philosophical concept of the embodied self, and Sacks's neurological writings on the awakened self.The conclusions of the research were that the patient was not only transformed within the dance session and able to re-create aspects of her old self, but also underwent, through the experience as a whole (the dance and the reflection upon it, facilitated by the video viewing), a change in awareness, through which she reintegrated the past with the present and, in her words, came "out of the cupboard...into the brightness".

description: From the viewpoint of holography, the phase structure of a 5-dimensional Reissner-Nordström-AdS black hole is probed by the two point correlation function, Wilson loop, and entanglement entropy. As the case of thermal entropy, we find for all the probes, the black hole undergos a Hawking-Page phase transition, a first order phase transition and a second order phase transition successively before it reaches to a stable phase. In addition, for these probes, we find the equal area law for the first order phase transition is valid always and the critical exponent of the heat capacity for the second order phase transition coincides with that of the mean field theory regardless of the size of the boundary region.

description: Pore-forming toxins (PFT) are cytolytic proteins belonging to the molecular warfare apparatus of living organisms. The assembly of the functional transmembrane pore requires several intermediate steps ranging from a water-soluble monomeric species to the multimeric ensemble inserted in the cell membrane. The non-lytic oligomeric intermediate known as prepore plays an essential role in the mechanism of insertion of the class of $β$-PFT. However, in the class of $α$-PFT like the actinoporins produced by sea anemones, evidence of membrane-bound prepores is still lacking. We have employed single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to identify, for the first time, a prepore species of the actinoporin fragaceatoxin C (FraC) bound to lipid vesicles. The size of the prepore coincides that of the functional pore, except for the transmembrane region, which is absent in the prepore. Biochemical assays indicated that, in the prepore species, the N-terminus is not inserted in the bilayer but exposed to the aqueous solution. Our study reveals the structure of the prepore complex in actinoporins, and highlights the role of structural intermediates for the formation of cytolytic pores by an $α$-PFT.

description: L’analisi proposta è concernente gli scritti dello storico tedesco Heinrich Nissen sull’orientazione della città romana. Il suo Das Templum del 1869 ci porterà ad analizzare che cosa è lo spazio inaugurato – detto templum – dove i Romani interrogavano il divino. Nel libro di Nissen troviamo infatti la città immaginata come un templum, con il decumano, ovvero la via principale della città romana, orientato verso il sorgere del sole il giorno di fondazione. Vedremo anche come Nissen associ tale Dies Natalis ad una festa. Nissen è il primo ad aver associato decumano, sorgere del sole, e feste del calendario romano in un metodo che considera l’analisi astronomica delle orientazioni. Il Das Templum venne criticato in passato, con critiche ben fondate, che chiariscono che la città non è un templum e che pertanto non vi è alcuna necessità di orientazione astronomica del decumano. Nissen e le critiche sono state dimenticate. Nel 2007, un articolo di Giulio Magli, che ripropone, senza citare Nissen, il decumano orientato col sorgere del sole un dì di festa, ha portato ad un revival di ipotesi archeoastronomiche sulle città romane. Diventa pertanto fondamentale riesaminare il lavoro di Nissen e le successive critiche. In ogni caso, il lavoro di Heinrich Nissen è il primo studio di filologia Greca e Latina sull'orientazione solare che coinvolga puntualmente gli scritti degli agrimensori romani. Per quanto riguarda la città ed il pomerium, ampio spazio sarà dato al lavoro di Pierangelo Catalano, 1978, sugli aspetti spaziali del sistema giuridico-religioso romano.

description: An estimate is made of the thickness of the radar-bright deposits in craters near to the north pole of Mercury. To construct an objective set of craters for this measurement, an automated crater finding algorithm is developed and applied to a digital elevation model based on data from the Mercury Laser Altimeter on board the MESSENGER spacecraft. This produces a catalogue of 663 craters with diameters exceeding 4 km, northwards of latitude +55 degrees. A subset of 12 larger, well-sampled and fresh polar craters are selected to search for correlations between topography and radar same-sense backscatter cross-section. It is found that the typical excess height associated with the radar-bright regions within these fresh polar craters is (50+/-35)m. This puts an approximate upper limit on the total polar water ice deposits on Mercury of 3e15 kg.

Electron transmission through a periodically driven graphene magnetic barrier

description: The kinetic transport of electrons through graphene magnetic barriers is studied theoretically in presence of an external time harmonic scalar potential. The transmission coefficients are calculated in the framework of the non-perturbative Floquet theory using transfer matrix method. The time dependent scalar potential is found to suppress the usual Fabry-Perot oscillations occurring in the transmission through a constant vector potential barrier (corresponding to two oppositely directed delta-function magnetic barriers). Two types of asymmetric Fano resonances (FR) are noted and are discussed for the narrow barrier structure. One of them arises due to the oscillatory mode while the other due to the evanescent mode of the electron wave inside the barrier. In contrast, the oscillating field favors the transmission for rectangular magnetic barrier structure and also exhibits the FR due to the presence of bound state inside the barrier. The characteristic Fano line shape can be tuned by varying the amplitude of the oscillating potential. The detection of such FR offers an efficient tool for the identification of the quasi-bound and evanescent extended states inside the barrier not reported in the literature so far, for the case of graphene magnetic barrier structures.

description: Neutrophils are critical immune cells in severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). S100
calcium-binding protein A12 (S100A12) is highly expressed in neutrophils during acute inflammation.
The aim of this study was to evaluate serum S100A12 levels as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in
COVID-19. Serum samples of patients with moderate and severe COVID-19 were collected during
2020 to 2024. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure serum S100A12 levels in
63 patients with moderate COVID-19, 60 patients with severe disease and 33 healthy controls. Serum
S100A12 levels were elevated in moderate COVID-19 compared to controls and were even higher
in severe cases. In moderate disease, serum S100A12 levels positively correlated with immune cell
counts. While C-reactive protein and procalcitonin are established inflammation markers, they did
not correlate with serum S100A12 levels in either patient cohort. Patients with severe COVID-19 and
vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) infection had increased S100A12 levels. Elevated S100A12
levels were also observed in patients with herpes simplex reactivation. Fungal superinfections did
not alter S100A12 levels. These data show that serum S100A12 increases in moderate and severe
COVID-19 and is further elevated by VRE bloodstream infection and herpes simplex reactivation.
Therefore, S100A12 may serve as a novel biomarker for severe COVID-19 and an early diagnostic
indicator for bacterial and viral infections.
State petroleum enterprises and the international oil industry: the case of Trinidad and Tobago

Publisher: name: La Trobe

description: Abstract: British and US oil companies set up the world's largest oil refinery transhipment complex in the Caribbean after the Suez Crisis and a technological revolution in oil tanker design in 1956. Trinidad and Tobago became one of the world's largest oil refinery and transhipment centres. In 1969 the British oil companies began to withdraw their investments and requested the nationalisation of their assets. In 1985 the US companies withdrew their investments in response to the US government's deregulation of the domestic oil industry and financial incentives to bring their investments back home. Requested nationalisation led to the state-ownership of the oil sector. The government of Trinidad set up state-owned petrochemical and iron and steel industries, with some of the world's most sophisticated technology, to utilise the country's large natural gas reserves. But by 1988 state capitalism had failed to provide the expected economic and social benefits, despite the drain on limited financial reserves and massive foreign loans. The government's reliance on the oil sector as the 'prime mover' of the economy had caused sectoral and trade imbalance, high inflation, increased unemployment, currency instability, debt crisis and political instability which culminated in an attempted coup in July 1990. The root cause of the failure of state capitalism was the governments' rush to industrialise and the structure of the state petroleum enterprises. The lack of accountability and responsibility of top management and government interference led to poorly run, unprofitable industries in which government waste and corruption were common.

The uptake and safety of vaccines in pregnancy

Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University

description: Pregnant women and young infants have a higher risk of acquiring serious infections of the lower respiratory tract than the general population, including infections caused by influenza, pertussis and pneumococcus. Inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) and pertussis-containing vaccines are recommended in pregnancy to combat this risk. This thesis aimed to assess the uptake and safety of vaccines in pregnancy, which is recognised as an international priority. In a cohort of 78,382 births in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia, in a pre-maternal vaccination era, Aboriginal mothers were 1.7-2.9 times more likely to experience an adverse birth outcome, and infants were 42.3 and 7.1 times more likely to be hospitalised for influenza and pertussis infections respectively, compared to their non-Aboriginal counterparts. I analysed IIV uptake in pregnancy, and birth outcomes for a group of remote-living Aboriginal women (697 pregnancies) from the NT between 2003 and 2011. Despite high rates of co-morbidities, risk factors and adverse birth outcomes, only 3% (n=20/697) had received IIV in pregnancy. My analysis of Australia’s largest maternal vaccination cohort study (n=8827 mother-infant pairs) from 2012-2016, showed no significant difference in the risk of adverse birth outcomes among women who received IIV and pertussis vaccinations in pregnancy compared with unvaccinated pregnant women, regardless of the trimester vaccination occurred. Re-analysis of a small randomised controlled-trial of the 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine in pregnancy among NT Aboriginal women, suggested preterm births in vaccinees were more than twice that of unvaccinated controls. These are salient findings, given that the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups were comparable, and trials of pneumococcal vaccination in pregnancy are progressing. The key findings identified in this thesis indicate studies using much larger participant numbers are required to further evaluate these results, and to test the risk/benefit of maternal vaccination. This thesis will inform future antenatal vaccine policy and research priorities both nationally and globally.

description: Results from the Solar Maximum Mission showed a close connection between the hard X-ray and transition region emission in solar flares. Analogously, the modern combination of RHESSI and IRIS data can inform the details of heating processes in ways never before possible. We study a small event that was observed with RHESSI, IRIS, SDO, and Hinode, allowing us to strongly constrain the heating and hydrodynamical properties of the flare, with detailed observations presented in a previous paper. Long duration red-shifts of transition region lines observed in this event, as well as many other events, are fundamentally incompatible with chromospheric condensation on a single loop. We combine RHESSI and IRIS data to measure the energy partition among the many magnetic strands that comprise the flare. Using that observationally determined energy partition, we show that a proper multi-threaded model can reproduce these red-shifts in magnitude, duration, and line intensity, while simultaneously being well constrained by the observed density, temperature, and emission measure. We comment on the implications for both RHESSI and IRIS observations of flares in general, namely that: (1) a single loop model is inconsistent with long duration red-shifts, among other observables; (2) the average time between energization of strands is less than 10 seconds, which implies that for a hard X-ray burst lasting ten minutes, there were at least 60 strands within a single IRIS pixel located on the flare ribbon; (3) the majority of these strands were explosively heated with energy distribution well described by a power law of slope $\approx -1.6$; (4) the multi-stranded model reproduces the observed line profiles, peak temperatures, differential emission measure distributions, and densities.

description: Powerful radio galaxies are often associated with gas-rich galaxy mergers. These mergers may provide the fuel to trigger starburst and active galactic nuclear (AGN) activity. In this Research Note, we study the host galaxies of three seemingly young or re-started radio sources that drive fast outflows of cool neutral hydrogen (HI) gas, namely 3C 293, 3C 305 and 4C 12.50 (PKS 1345+12). Our aim is to link the feedback processes in the central kpc-scale region with new information on the distribution of stars and gas at scales of the galaxy. For this, we use deep optical V-band imaging of the host galaxies, complemented with HI emission-line observations to study their gaseous environments. We find prominent optical tidal features in all three radio galaxies, which confirm previous claims that 3C 293, 3C 305 and 4C 12.50 have been involved in a recent galaxy merger or interaction. Our data show the complex morphology of the host galaxies, and identify the companion galaxies that are likely involved in the merger or interaction. The radio sources appear to be (re-)triggered at a different stage of the merger; 4C 12.50 is a pre-coalescent and possibly multiple merger, 3C 293 is a post-coalescent merger that is undergoing a minor interaction with a close satellite galaxy, while 3C 305 appears to be shaped by an interaction with a gas-rich companion. For 3C 293 and 3C 305, we do not detect HI beyond the inner ~30-45 kpc region, which shows that the bulk of the cold gas is concentrated within the host-galaxy, rather than along the widespread tidal features.

Nissen è il primo ad aver associato decumano, sorgere del sole, e feste del calendario romano in un metodo che considera l’analisi astronomica delle orientazioni. Il Das Templum venne criticato in passato, con critiche ben fondate, che chiariscono che la città non è un templum e che pertanto non vi è alcuna necessità di orientazione astronomica del decumano. Nissen e le critiche sono state dimenticate. Nel 2007, un articolo di Giulio Magli, che ripropone, senza citare Nissen, il decumano orientato col sorgere del sole un dì di festa, ha portato ad un revival di ipotesi archeoastronomiche sulle città romane. Diventa pertanto fondamentale riesaminare il lavoro di Nissen e le successive critiche. In ogni caso, il lavoro di Heinrich Nissen è il primo studio di filologia Greca e Latina sull'orientazione solare che coinvolga puntualmente gli scritti degli agrimensori romani. Per quanto riguarda la città ed il pomerium, ampio spazio sarà dato al lavoro di Pierangelo Catalano, 1978, sugli aspetti spaziali del sistema giuridico-religioso romano.

description: In this paper, we are going to focus on speed up of the Word Sense Disambiguation procedure by filtering the relevant senses of an ambiguous word through Part-of-Speech Tagging. First, this proposed approach performs the Part-of-Speech Tagging operation before the disambiguation procedure using Bigram approximation. As a result, the exact Part-of-Speech of the ambiguous word at a particular text instance is derived. In the next stage, only those dictionary definitions (glosses) are retrieved from an online dictionary, which are associated with that particular Part-of-Speech to disambiguate the exact sense of the ambiguous word. In the training phase, we have used Brown Corpus for Part-of-Speech Tagging and WordNet as an online dictionary. The proposed approach reduces the execution time upto half (approximately) of the normal execution time for a text, containing around 200 sentences. Not only that, we have found several instances, where the correct sense of an ambiguous word is found for using the Part-of-Speech Tagging before the Disambiguation procedure.

description: В статье рассматриваются вопросы изучения территориальных различий преступности. На примере работы итальянского ученого Чазере Ломброзо «Преступный человек» рассматриваются факторы, влияющие на рост и снижение преступности в зависимости от географических, климатических, культурных, экономических особенностей региона. В рамках отечественной криминологии исследование детерминант преступности осуществляется по территориальному принципу с учетом географического положения, развития экономики региона и социальных условий и культурных особенностей. На основе статистических данных Новгородской области и Ставропольского края проанализированы совершенные преступления жителями двух регионов. Проводится анализ статистических показателей преступности в период времени с 2015 года по 2020 год, на основании которого делается вывод о территориях с благоприятной и неблагоприятной криминогенной обстановкой.

description: In recent quantum optical continuous-variable experiments, the number of fully inseparable light modes has drastically increased by introducing a multiplexing scheme either in the time domain or in the frequency domain. Here, modifying the time-domain multiplexing experiment reported in Nature Photonics 7, 982 (2013), we demonstrate successive generation of fully inseparable light modes for more than one million modes. The resulting multi-mode state is useful as a dual-rail CV cluster state. We circumvent the previous problem of optical phase drifts, which has limited the number of fully inseparable light modes to around ten thousands, by continuous feedback control of the optical system.

description: In this paper, we propose an efficient continuous-time LiDAR-Inertial-Camera Odometry, utilizing non-uniform B-splines to tightly couple measurements from the LiDAR, IMU, and camera. In contrast to uniform B-spline-based continuous-time methods, our non-uniform B-spline approach offers significant advantages in terms of achieving real-time efficiency and high accuracy. This is accomplished by dynamically and adaptively placing control points, taking into account the varying dynamics of the motion. To enable efficient fusion of heterogeneous LiDAR-Inertial-Camera data within a short sliding-window optimization, we assign depth to visual pixels using corresponding map points from a global LiDAR map, and formulate frame-to-map reprojection factors for the associated pixels in the current image frame. This way circumvents the necessity for depth optimization of visual pixels, which typically entails a lengthy sliding window with numerous control points for continuous-time trajectory estimation. We conduct dedicated experiments on real-world datasets to demonstrate the advantage and efficacy of adopting non-uniform continuous-time trajectory representation. Our LiDAR-Inertial-Camera odometry system is also extensively evaluated on both challenging scenarios with sensor degenerations and large-scale scenarios, and has shown comparable or higher accuracy than the state-of-the-art methods. The codebase of this paper will also be open-sourced at https://github.com/APRIL-ZJU/Coco-LIC.

Mean-field beyond mean-field: the single particle view for moderately to strongly coupled charged fluids

description: In a counter-ion only charged fluid, Coulomb coupling is quantified by a single dimensionless parameter. Yet, the theoretical treatment of moderately to strongly coupled charged fluids is a difficult task, central to the understanding of a wealth of soft matter problems, including biological systems. We show that the corresponding coupling regime can be remarkably well described by a single particle treatment, which, at variance with previous works, takes due account of inter-ionic interactions. To this end, the prototypical problem of a planar charged dielectric interface is worked out. Testing our predictions against Monte Carlo simulation data reveals an excellent agreement.

The inclination angle is derived from the CHVC's morphology and kinematics. We calibrate the method with numerical simulations, and we apply it to a sample of CHVCs drawn from HIPASS. Implications for CHVC distances are discussed.

Controlled delocalization of electronic states in a multi-strand quasiperiodic lattice

description: Finite strips, composed of a periodic stacking of infinite quasiperiodic Fibonacci chains, have been investigated in terms of their electronic properties. The system is described by a tight binding Hamiltonian. The eigenvalue spectrum of such a multi-strand quasiperiodic network is found to be sensitive on the mutual values of the intra-strand and inter-strand tunnel hoppings, whose distribution displays a unique three-subband self-similar pattern in a parameter subspace. In addition, it is observed that special numerical correlations between the nearest and the next-nearest neighbor hopping integrals can render a substantial part of the energy spectrum absolutely continuous. Extended, Bloch like functions populate the above continuous zones, signalling a complete delocalization of single particle states even in such a non-translationally invariant system, and more importantly, a phenomenon that can be engineered by tuning the relative strengths of the hopping parameters. A commutation relation between the potential and the hopping matrices enables us to work out the precise correlation which helps to engineer the extended eigenfunctions and determine the band positions at will.
