description: For a parameter $λ>0$, we investigate greedy $λ$-energy sequences $(a_{n})_{n=0}^{\infty}$ on the unit sphere $S^{d}\subset\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, $d\geq 1$, satisfying the defining property that each $a_{n}$, $n\geq 1$, is a point where the potential $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}|x-a_{k}|^λ$ attains its maximum value on $S^{d}$. We show that these sequences satisfy the symmetry property $a_{2k+1}=-a_{2k}$ for every $k\geq 0$. The asymptotic distribution of the sequence undergoes a sharp transition at the value $λ=2$, from uniform distribution ($λ<2$) to concentration on two antipodal points ($λ>2$). We investigate first-order and second-order asymptotics of the $λ$-energy of the first $N$ points of the sequence, as well as the asymptotic behavior of the extremal values $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}|a_{n}-a_{k}|^λ$. The second-order asymptotics is analyzed on the unit circle. It is shown that this asymptotic behavior differs significantly from that of $N$ equally spaced points on the unit circle, and a transition in the behavior takes place at $λ=1$.

description: Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) is a concrete solvable model with non-Fermi liquid behavior and maximal chaos. In this work, we study the entanglement Rényi entropy for the subsystems of the SYK model in the Kourkoulou-Maldacena states. We use the path-integral approach and take the saddle point approximation in the large-$N$ limit. We find a first-order transition exist when tuning the subsystem size for the $q=4$ case, while it is absent for the $q=2$ case. We further study the entanglement dynamics for such states under the real-time evolution for noninteracting, weakly interacting and strongly interacting SYK(-like) models.

description: The J=2-1 and 3-2 rotational lines of the rare isotopomer C36S and the J=5-4 and 6-5 transitions of Si36S were detected in the carbon star IRC+10216 (CW Leo). These are the first detections of 36S bearing molecules in a star and the first spectroscopic detection of Si36S. From a comparison of 34S and 36S bearing isotopomers, th 34S/36S isotopic ratio is 107(+-15). This value is comparable to values in the interstellar medium of the inner Galactic disk (115) but is smaller than the solar value of 288 (Ding et al. 2001). The increase of the 36S abundance relative to 34S only qualitatively follows model predictions of a low mass AGB star. Quantitative agreement of the observed 34S/36S ratio with the stellar models can be reached if the age of IRC+10216 and Galactic chemical evolution are taken into account. Other less likely possibilities are the presence of considerable inhomogeneities in the interstellar medium and either IRC+10216 or the Sun started with a peculiar 36S abundance. Other production mechanisms potentially capable of enhancing the Galactic interstellar medium are discussed. From the observed line density toward IRC+10216 and toward Galactic star forming regions, we estimate the confusion limit toward those sources.

description: In this paper, we are interested in providing lower estimations for the maximum number of limit cycles $H(n)$ that planar piecewise linear differential systems with two zones separated by the curve $y=x^n$ can have, where $n$ is a positive integer. For this, we perform a higher order Melnikov analysis for piecewise linear perturbations of the linear center. In particular, we obtain that $H(2)\geq 4,$ $H(3)\geq 8,$ $H(n)\geq7,$ for $n\geq 4$ even, and $H(n)\geq 9,$ for $n\geq 5$ odd. This improves all the previous results for $n\geq2.$ Our analysis is mainly based on some recent results about Chebyshev systems with positive accuracy and Melnikov theory, which will be developed at any order for a class of nonsmooth differential systems with nonlinear switching manifold.
A Critical Analysis of the HVAC Business Model to Determine Its Success Criteria

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Air conditioning sales in Pakistan have scarcely risen in the recent decade. Air conditioning firms would face stiff competition in this stagnating industry. Some organizations realize that combining goods and services to meet consumer requirements and boost efficiency may boost profits. This Sovietization business model will shift distributors from product-centered to service-centered. Sovietization is not new in Pakistan's air conditioning sector, but it is not widely applied and some operations fail. Pakistan has limited ventilation and air conditioning business model studies. Successful Sovietization deployment requires understanding its components and their effects. This article examines the important success aspects of ventilation and air conditioning Sovietization in Pakistan and how they benefit stakeholders. The author will identify candidate success criteria through literature studies, expert interviews, and surveys. The Dematel approach ranks essential success elements. This research will improve knowledge of the Sovietization business model in Pakistan and foster innovation.

description: Tadpole improved Wilson quark actions with clover terms on anisotropic lattices are studied numerically. Using asymmetric lattice volumes, the pseudo-scalar meson dispersion relations are measured for 8 lowest lattice momentum modes with quark mass values ranging from the strange to the charm quark with various values of the gauge coupling $β$ and 3 different values of the bare speed of light parameter $ν$. These results can be utilized to extrapolate or interpolate to obtain the optimal value for the bare speed of light parameter $ν_{opt}(m)$ at a given gauge coupling for all bare quark mass values $m$. In particular, the optimal values of $ν$ at the physical strange and charm quark mass are given for various gauge couplings. The lattice action with these optimized parameters can then be used to study physical properties of hadrons involving either light or heavy quarks.

description: The following project involves a study about the hygienic process in the bath of quadriplegic people. The main problem of the currently available equipment is the caregiver's necessary effort during the act, since the patient does not present movement of the upper and lower limbs, thus implying a total dependence of the person with quadriplegia on his caregiver. The research proposes a remodeling of the most common model of bath chair used in the domestic and hospital environment. The treated device allows the inclination of the sanitary seat coupled to the chair using the support of a manual hydraulic piston, facilitating access to the patient's intimate areas and, consequently, better hygiene—this feature located below the seat, coupled to the frame on the front. Also, the supports for the patient's feet and arms modeled, allowing the abductor movement of the lower and upper limbs, contributing to the visualization and access to the areas, emphasizing that these require careful cleaning, as they function as an outlet for liquids and excrement of the human body. It was possible to remodel the bath device in Autodesk Inventor 2018 software. The material selected for the construction of the structure was Steel 1020, which was selected based on the physical, chemical, and biological agents that could come into contact with the chair. The structure is resistant to safely support the patient and not to suffer significant wear over time.

description: We evaluate the virial coefficients B_k for k<=10 for hard spheres in dimensions D=2,...,8. Virial coefficients with k even are found to be negative when D>=5. This provides strong evidence that the leading singularity for the virial series lies away from the positive real axis when D>=5. Further analysis provides evidence that negative virial coefficients will be seen for some k>10 for D=4, and there is a distinct possibility that negative virial coefficients will also eventually occur for D=3.

description: We perform a bivariate Taylor expansion of the axisymmetric Green function in order to determine the exterior potential of a static thin toroidal shell having a circular section, as given by the Laplace equation. This expansion, performed at the centre of the section, consists in an infinite series in the powers of the minor-to-major radius ratio $e$ of the shell. It is appropriate for a solid, homogeneous torus, as well as for inhomogeneous bodies (the case of a core stratification is considered). We show that the leading term is identical to the potential of a loop having the same main radius and the same mass | this "similarity" is shown to hold in the ${\cal O}(e^2)$ order. The series converges very well, especially close to the surface of the toroid where the average relative precision is $\sim 10^{-3}$ for $e\! = \!0.1$ at order zero, and as low as a few $10^{-6}$ at second order. The Laplace equation is satisfied {\em exactly} in every order, so no extra density is induced by truncation. The gravitational acceleration, important in dynamical studies, is reproduced with the same accuracy. The technique also applies to the magnetic potential and field generated by azimuthal currents as met in terrestrial and astrophysical plasmas.

Topologically Alice Strings and Monopoles

description: Symmetry breaking can produce ``Alice'' strings, which alter scattered charges and carry monopole number and charge when twisted into loops. Alice behavior arises algebraically, when strings obstruct unbroken symmetries -- a fragile criterion. We give a topological criterion, compelling Alice behavior or deforming it away. Our criterion, that π_o(H) acts nontrivially on π_1(H), links topologically Alice strings to topological monopoles. We twist topologically Alice loops to form monopoles. We show that Alice strings of condensed matter systems (nematic liquid crystals, helium 3A, and related non-chiral Bose condensates and amorphous chiral superconductors) are topologically Alice, and support fundamental monopole charge when twisted into loops. Thus they might be observed indirectly, not as strings, but as loop-like point defects. We describe other models, showing Alice strings failing our topological criterion; and twisted Alice loops supporting deposited, but not fundamental, monopole number.

title: Ahlfors regularity, extensions by Schatten ideals and a geometric fundamental class of Smale space C*-algebras using dynamical partitions of unity

Subjects: subject: Smale spaces, Markov partitions, Ahlfors regularity, fractal dimensions, C*-algebras, groupoid metrics, smooth algebras, KK-theory, Spanier-Whitehead duality, K-homology, extensions by Schatten ideals, Fredholm modules.

description: In this thesis we study the Ahlfors regularity of Bowen's measure on Smale spaces and analyse Smale space C*-algebras in the framework of Connes' noncommutative geometry using smooth extensions by Schatten ideals and summable Fredholm modules. Bowen's construction of Markov partitions implies that Smale spaces are factors of topological Markov chains. The latter are equipped with Parry's measure which is Ahlfors regular. By extending Bowen's construction we create a tool for transferring, up to topological conjugacy, the Ahlfors regularity of the Parry measure down to the Bowen measure of the Smale space. An essential part of our method uses a refined notion of approximation graphs over compact metric spaces. Moreover, we obtain new estimates for the Hausdorff, box-counting and Assouad dimensions of a large class of Smale spaces. In the noncommutative setting, given a Smale space, our generalised Markov partitions yield dynamical partitions of unity which produce explicit θ-summable Fredholm modules that represent a fundamental K-homology class for the Spanier-Whitehead duality of the stable and unstable Ruelle algebras of the Smale space. Therefore, we obtain an exhaustive description of the K-homology classes of Ruelle algebras in terms of Fredholm modules constructed by Markov partitions. Our method involves the construction of dynamical metrics on Smale space groupoids that give rise to smooth (holomorphically stable and dense) *-subalgebras of Smale space C*-algebras. In particular, for every such smooth subalgebra of a Ruelle algebra, we show that every extension class in the BDF-theory group of the Ruelle algebra can be represented by an extension that on the smooth subalgebra reduces to an algebraic extension by a Schatten p-ideal. The value p is related to the dimension of the underlying Smale space. This provides a new approach to the noncommutative dimension theory of Smale spaces.
Use of senotherapies to decrease radiation-induced senescence and resistance in lung cancer.
Creators: name: Saleh, Anes
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Lung cancer is the principal cause of oncogenic mortality, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most common form. Although different treatments are available, including radiation therapy, NSCLC usually relapse. Radiotherapy has been shown to induce senescent cells, which may contribute to this relapse. This could be reduced targeting senescent cells with senotherapies. We studied the response of different NSCLC cell lines to radiation. We found that wild type p53 cells were more prone to go into senescence and show resistance to radiation than mutant p53 cells. The secretion profile of these cells and its effect on cell motility was also proportional to the presence of senescent cells. Moreover, a mass spectrometry screen identified an heterogenous cell-specific secretory phenotype linked to senescence. This supports the therapeutic potential of preventing senescent cell accumulation after radiotherapy. To this end, we studied the effect of senolytics (drugs that specifically kill senescent cells) and senoblockers (which prevent senescence). The results depended on the cell type but successfully achieve the goals in different settings. Finally, we obtained a list of radiation-induced senescence markers using a proteomics approach, which could help predict which patients could benefit from senotherapies as adjuvants to radiotherapy. Our data together suggest that senotherapies (senolytics and/or senoblockers) could minimise the accumulation of senescent cells after radiotherapy and thus reduce chances of relapse, and provide a rationale to stratify patients according to the ability of cancer cells to enter senescence.
Electron-boson-interaction induced particle-hole symmetry breaking of conductance into subgap states in superconductors

description: Particle-hole symmetry (PHS) of conductance into subgap states in superconductors is a fundamental consequence of a noninteracting mean-field theory of superconductivity. The breaking of this PHS has been attributed to a noninteracting mechanism, i.e., quasiparticle poisoning (QP), a process detrimental to the coherence of superconductor-based qubits.Here, we show that the ubiquitous electron-boson interactions in superconductors can also break the PHS of subgap conductances. We study the effect of such couplings on the PHS of subgap conductances in superconductors using both the rate equation and Keldysh formalism, which have different regimes of validity. In both regimes, we found that such couplings give rise to a particle-hole $asymmetry$ in subgap conductances which increases with increasing coupling strength, increasing subgap-state particle-hole content imbalance and decreasing temperature. Our proposed mechanism is general and applies even for experiments where the subgap-conductance PHS breaking cannot be attributed to QP.

description: In this work, we demonstrate chemiresistive volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors prepared by drop-cast assembly of layered tin monoxide mesoflowers (SnO-MFs) on additively produced laser-induced graphene-like carbon (LIG). The SnO-MFs were synthesized below 100 °C at ambient pressure and offer a low fabrication energy alternative route to typical furnace-prepared metal-oxide materials. The additive dropcast assembly of room-temperature operating metal oxide active material allows the substitution of LIG for metal current collectors and glass for alumina, reducing the environmental footprint of the sensor. The sensors can detect methanol (150−4000 ppm) at room temperature and humidity (∼18 °C, ∼55% RH), with response and recovery times (150 ppm methanol) of t90,resp ≈ 50 ± 10 s and t90,rec ≈ 5 ± 0.5 s, respectively. The sensors demonstrated a limit of detection (170 ± 40 ppm) below 8 h worker safety exposure levels (200 ppm) and stable DC resistance responses ΔR/R = 9 ± 2% to 710 ppm of methanol for over 21 days in ambient laboratory conditions, n = 4. First-principles density functional theory simulations were used to elucidate the interactions of VOC species on the SnO surfaces. LIG-SnO hybrid sensors thus present a resource-efficient route to develop chemiresistive sensors for low-power applications, although with cross-selectivity to other alcohol species

description: O presente artigo estabelece uma discussão a respeito do Programa Nacional de Produção e Uso do Biodiesel (PNPB). Mesmo reconhecendo seu mérito enquanto mecanismo de preservação de recursos não-renováveis, pretende-se destacar que o Programa pode gerar externalidades ambientais e sociais negativas. Considera-se que tais externalidades decorrem principalmente da expansão das monoculturas. O PNPB acaba contrariando o esforço de atores locais/regionais no noroeste do estado do Rio Grande do Sul que buscam disseminar tanto a idéia da diversificação produtiva quanto da pluriatividade nas pequenas propriedades familiares. Por isso, será apresentada uma experiência local/regional que propõe a instalação de microdestilarias de álcool no noroeste do estado, as quais são motivadas por outra lógica sócio-econômica e ambiental, cuja marca é a valorização das especificidades territoriais locais/regionais.---------------------------------------This paper provides a discussion about Programa Nacional de Produção e Uso do Biodiesel (PNPB). Even acknowledging PNPB merit’s of preservation mechanism of non-renewable resources, we are intended to emphasize that the program can generate negative social and environmental externalities. It is considered that such externalities arising mainly from monocultures expansion. The PNPB countering local/regional actors efforts in Rio Grande do Sul’s northwestern state seeking disseminate the productive diversification and pluriativity in small family properties. So, we will be presented an local/regional experiment which proposes the installation of alcohol micro-destillery in the northwestern state, motivated by other socio-economic and environmental logic whose brand is the valuation of the respective local/regional especificity.
Toward a livable region? : an evaluation of business parks in Greater Vancouver
Creators: name: McMillan, Sarah Elizabeth

description: Postmodern metropolitan regions have become marked by the process of office suburbanization. Greater Vancouver has not been immune to this. Despite regional planning policy, suburban offices have located on industrial land in isolated, autodependent business parks. The amount of office space in business parks far surpasses office space in the designated regional town centres. This thesis examines whether business park development is consistent with the goals set out in Greater Vancouver's Livable Region Strategic Plan; whether business parks are in tune with the principles of sustainability; and whether business parks are fulfilling municipal tax and employment objectives. To answer these questions, an evaluative framework of eight criteria is established. Analysis of quantitative and qualitative data demonstrates that business parks are not consistent with these goals and objectives. The land consumed, the travel patterns produced, and the taxes generated by business parks reveal a land use pattern that is far less efficient than urban centre locations. Concentrating office development in existing urban and suburban centres complements the retail, residential, community services, and transit infrastructure in centres and enables employees to work in places where they can live, shop, and play nearby.

description: We investigate a system consisting of one or two topological-insulator leads which are tunnel coupled to a single dot level. The leads are described by the one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We show that (topological) edge states cause characteristic features in the dot spectral function, the dot occupation, and the finite-bias current across the dot. As the kinetic energy is quenched in the dot region, local two-particle interactions are of particular relevance there. This motivates us to test whether the aforementioned edge-state features are robust against such interactions; we report here that they are either robust or even enhanced. We conclude that the characteristic features can be used to determine if the leads are in their topologically non-trivial or trivial phase.

description: While fast multipole methods (FMMs) are in widespread use for the rapid evaluation of potential fields governed by the Laplace, Helmholtz, Maxwell or Stokes equations, their coupling to high-order quadratures for evaluating layer potentials is still an area of active research. In three dimensions, a number of issues need to be addressed, including the specification of the surface as the union of high-order patches, the incorporation of accurate quadrature rules for integrating singular or weakly singular Green's functions on such patches, and their coupling to the oct-tree data structures on which the FMM separates near and far field interactions. Although the latter is straightforward for point distributions, the near field for a patch is determined by its physical dimensions, not the distribution of discretization points on the surface. Here, we present a general framework for efficiently coupling locally corrected quadratures with FMMs, relying primarily on what are called generalized Gaussian quadratures rules, supplemented by adaptive integration. The approach, however, is quite general and easily applicable to other schemes, such as Quadrature by Expansion (QBX). We also introduce a number of accelerations to reduce the cost of quadrature generation itself, and present several numerical examples of acoustic scattering that demonstrate the accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency of the scheme. On a single core of an Intel i5 2.3GHz processor, a Fortran implementation of the scheme can generate near field quadrature corrections for between 1000 and 10,000 points per second, depending on the order of accuracy and the desired precision. A Fortran implementation of the algorithm described in this work is available at https://gitlab.com/fastalgorithms/fmm3dbie.

description: We study an infinite one-dimensional Ising spin chain where each particle interacts only with its nearest neighbors and is in contact with a heat bath with temperature decaying hyperbolically along the chain. The time evolution of the magnetization (spin expectation value) is governed by a semi-infinite Jacobi matrix. The matrix belongs to a three-parameter family of Jacobi matrices whose spectral problem turns out to be solvable in terms of the basic hypergeometric series. As a consequence, we deduce the essential properties of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials, which seem to be new. Finally, we return to the Ising model and study the time evolution of magnetization and two-spin correlations.

description: The paper aims at designing equipment for the prevention of pressure injuries in bedridden people. Pressure ulcers, also known as decubitus ulcers, pressure lesions, or bedsores, are lesions that occur on the skin of patients by the pressure caused by the contact of a bone surface with, in the case of bedridden, a hospital bed. Some factors aggravate the risk of developing these lesions and require special care, such as nutrition, hydration, mobility, moisture, and the use of certain medications. For decubitus ulcer prevention, the most suitable method is to change the person's position every two hours, as this procedure will relieve the pressure in the places of most significant contact, thus reducing the chances of developing ulcers. However, in hospitals, nurses are responsible for checking the patient's skin and changing the position of the patient, an activity that requires strength, making the process stressful, and increasing the time a bedridden stays in the same location. Pressure injuries can be aggravated by increasingly weakening the health of the patient suffering from the injury. Thus, the search for a means to prevent such lesions is undoubtedly possible. Investigation on the injuries and motors that used to solve the problem occurs. The movement of the equipment happens since the machine would change the points of highest pressure in the patient's body through the change of height in parts of the hospital bed. After research, the device was scaled and designed virtually in Autodesk Inventor 2018 software. The theoretical results possibility equipment construction. It is not possible to affirm the efficiency of the equipment in the prevention of pressure injuries, since the project did not leave the literature, not being built prototype and not being performed tests to prove its effectiveness.
A hydrodynamic model for asymmetric explosions of rapidly rotating collapsing supernovae with a toroidal atmosphere

description: We numerically solved the two-dimensional axisymmetric hydrodynamic problem of the explosion of a low-mass neutron star in a circular orbit. In the initial conditions, we assumed a nonuniform density distribution in the space surrounding the collapsed iron core in the form of a stationary toroidal atmosphere that was previously predicted analytically and computed numerically. The conﬁguration of the exploded neutron star itself was modeled by a torus with a circular cross section whose central line almost coincided with its circular orbit. Using an equation of state for the stellar matter and the toroidal atmosphere in which the nuclear statistical equilibrium conditions were satisfied, we performed a series of numerical calculations that showed the propagation of a strong divergent shock wave with a total energy of 0.2x10^51 erg at initial explosion energy release of 1.0x10^51 erg. In our calculations, we rigorously took into account the gravitational interaction, including the attraction from a higher-mass (1.9M_solar) neutron star located at the coordinate origin, in accordance with the rotational explosion mechanism for collapsing supernovae.W e compared in detail our results with previous similar results of asymmetric supernova explosion simulations and concluded that we found a lower limit for the total explosion energy.

description: The relationship between nutrition knowledge and consumers’ food behavior has been debated for years. This may be partially attributed to the difficulty introduce by endogeneity of nutrition knowledge in econometric modeling. Using grass-fed beef as a vehicle, this paper investigates the impacts of consumers’ nutrition knowledge on their willingness to pay by accommodating the endogeneity problem using instrumental variable approach. Our results suggest that consumers’ nutrition knowledge significantly influences their willingness to pay for grass-fed beef. Gender and education are influential factors of consumers’ nutrition knowledge level.

description: The evaluation of the number of attractors in Kauffman networks by Samuelsson and Troein is generalized to critical networks with one input per node and to networks with two inputs per node and different probability distributions for update functions. A connection is made between the terms occurring in the calculation and between the more graphic concepts of frozen, nonfrozen and relevant nodes, and relevant components. Based on this understanding, a phenomenological argument is given that reproduces the dependence of the attractor numbers on system size.
