description: We analytically as well as numerically disclose the effects of the higher order correction terms in the gravity and in the gauge field on the properties of $s$-wave holographic superconductors. On the gravity side, we consider the higher curvature Gauss-Bonnet corrections and on the gauge field side, we add a quadratic correction term to the Maxwell Lagrangian. We show that for this system, one can still obtain an analytical relation between the critical temperature and the charge density. We also calculate the critical exponent and the condensation value both analytically and numerically. We use a variational method, based on the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem for our analytical study, as well as a numerical shooting method in order to compare with our analytical results. For a fixed value of the Gauss-Bonnet parameter, we observe that the critical temperature decreases with increasing the nonlinearity of the gauge field. This implies that the nonlinear correction term to the Maxwell electrodynamics make the condensation harder. We also study the holographic conductivity of the system and disclose the effects of Gauss-Bonnet and nonlinear parameters $α$ and $b$ on the superconducting gap. We observe that for various values of $α$ and $b$, the real part of conductivity is proportional to the frequency per temperature, $ω/T$, as frequency is enough large. Besides, the conductivity has a minimum in the imaginary part which is shifted toward greater frequency with decreasing the temperature.

description: We report a theoretical analysis of variational wave functions for the BCS pairing problem. Starting with a Jastrow-Feenberg (or, in a more recent language "fixed-node") wave function for the superfluid state, we develop the full optimized Fermi-Hypernetted Chain (FHNC-EL) equations which sum a local approximation of the parquet-diagrams. Close examination of the procedure reveals that it is essential to go beyond the usual Jastrow-Feenberg approximation to guarantee the correct stability range.

Zudem muss die Möglichkeit bestehen, selbst AR-Lehr-Lernmaterialien in den Unterricht zu integrieren. Dafür soll im Promotionsprojekt leARn chemistry mithilfe von dem Autorentool BlippAR eine Grundlage geschaffen werden, sodass Lehrer*innen gezielt und qualitativ hochwertige eigene Lehr-Lernmaterialien mit AR-Elementen für ihren Chemieunterricht gestalten können. Hierzu werden zum einen Kriterien für die Gestaltung qualitativ hochwertiger AR-Lernmaterialien für den Chemieunterricht herausgearbeitet und zum anderen werden Lehrer*innen fortgebildet, mittels des Autorentools BlippAR selbst AR-Elemente zu erstellen - auch ohne Programmierkenntnisse. Dabei wird untersucht, inwiefern die Einstellungs- und Handlungsakzeptanz gegenüber dem gewählten Autorentool BlippAR bei den teilnehmenden Lehrer*innen besteht. Da Autorenwerkzeuge zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen und digitale Entwicklungen schnelllebig sind, wird beispielhaft die Entwicklung von BlippAR und dessen Einsatz in der Schule vom letzten Jahr beschrieben

El desarrollo e implementación de plantas solares fotovoltaicas conectadas al Sistema Interconectado Nacional, ha sido posible gracias a la decisión del Estado colombiano de diversificar su matriz eléctrica, descarbonizar la economía, y cumplir la meta adoptada frente al Acuerdo de París. Estos tres objetivos de política pública, confluyen en la promoción de las energías renovables que son en sí mismas una estrategia para la reducción de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Para incentivar las fuentes no convencionales de energía y particularmente la solar, ha sido posible principalmente gracias a la contribución de la ley 1715 de 2014 sobre Energías Renovables y de la Ley 1955 de 2019 por el cual se adopta el Plan de Desarrollo 2018-2022. Al final el impulso de las renovables representadas en las plantas solares contribuyen con la mitigación del cambio climático en Colombia.
description: The article highlights the importance of photovoltaic solar energy as a decarbonization strategy in the energy transition of the electricity sector and its contribution to the avoided emissions of greenhouse gases in the country. The development and implementation of photovoltaic solar plants connected to the National Interconnected System has been possible thanks to the decision of the Colombian State to diversify its electrical matrix, decarbonize the economy, and meet the goal adopted in the Paris Agreement. These three public policy objectives converge in the promotion of renewable energies, which are in themselves a strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To encourage non-conventional sources of energy and particularly solar, it has been possible mainly thanks to the contribution of Law 1715 of 2014 on Renewable Energies and Law 1955 of 2019 by which the Development Plan 2018-2022 is adopted. In the end, the promotion of renewables represented in solar plants contribute to the mitigation of climate change in Colombia.

description: Predictions for the scale of SUSY breaking from the string landscape go back at least a decade to the work of Denef and Douglas on the statistics of flux vacua. The assumption that an assortment of SUSY breaking F and D terms are present in the hidden sector, and their values are uniformly distributed in the landscape of D=4, N=1 effective supergravity models, leads to the expectation that the landscape pulls towards large values of soft terms favored by a power law behavior P(m(soft))~ m(soft)^n. On the other hand, similar to Weinberg's prediction of the cosmological constant, one can assume an anthropic selection of weak scales not too far from the measured value characterized by m(W,Z,h)~ 100 GeV. Working within a fertile patch of gravity-mediated low energy effective theories where the superpotential mu term is << m(3/2), as occurs in models such as radiative breaking of Peccei-Quinn symmetry, this biases statistical distributions on the landscape by a cutoff on the parameter Delta(EW), which measures fine-tuning in the m(Z)-mu mass relation. The combined effect of statistical and anthropic pulls turns out to favor low energy phenomenology that is more or less agnostic to UV physics. While a uniform selection n=0 of soft terms produces too low a value for m(h), taking n=1 or 2 produce most probabilistically m(h)~125 GeV for negative trilinear terms. For n>=1, there is a pull towards split generations with m(squarks,sleptons)(1,2)~10-30 TeV whilst m(t1)~ 1-2 TeV. The most probable gluino mass comes in at ~ 3-4 TeV--apparently beyond the reach of HL-LHC (although the required quasi-degenerate higgsinos should still be within reach). We comment on consequences for SUSY collider and dark matter searches.

Prepotential approach to exact and quasi-exact solvabilities

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: Exact and quasi-exact solvabilities of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation are discussed from a unified viewpoint based on the prepotential together with Bethe ansatz equations. This is a constructive approach which gives the potential as well as the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues simultaneously. The novel feature of the present work is the realization that both exact and quasi-exact solvabilities can be solely classified by two integers, the degrees of two polynomials which determine the change of variable and the zero-th order prepotential. Most of the well-known exactly and quasi-exactly solvable models, and many new quasi-exactly solvable ones, can be generated by appropriately choosing the two polynomials. This approach can be easily extended to the constructions of exactly and quasi-exactly solvable Dirac, Pauli, and Fokker-Planck equations.

description: Cette étude explore l'évolution historique de la monoparentalité et les préjugés qui l'ont entourée, mettant en évidence la croissance significative des familles monoparentales au Canada, en particulier dirigées par des femmes. Les enjeux principaux incluent des défis professionnels et économiques, des implications sur la vie sociale des mères monoparentales, ainsi que des préoccupations liées au bien-être des enfants. Une attention particulière est accordée à la monoparentalité chez les femmes immigrantes, en soulignant les difficultés spécifiques à leur intégration sociale et professionnelle au Québec. L'étude révèle des obstacles systémiques, tels que le racisme, la discrimination sur le marché du travail, le manque de ressources, les stéréotypes sociaux et le jugement, contribuant à des niveaux élevés de pauvreté et d'instabilité financière. Malgré ces défis, les participantes démontrent une résilience remarquable en utilisant des stratégies créatives, telles que la poursuite de l'éducation, la recherche d'un équilibre travail-vie personnelle et la cultivation d'une estime de soi solide. Mots clés : monoparentalité, immigration, pauvreté, femmes noires, emploie, épanouissement social.

description: Fractional calculus and q-deformed Lie algebras are closely related. Both concepts expand the scope of standard Lie algebras to describe generalized symmetries. For the fractional harmonic oscillator, the corresponding q-number is derived. It is shown, that the resulting energy spectrum is an appropriate tool e.g. to describe the ground state spectra of even-even nuclei. In addition, the equivalence of rotational and vibrational spectra for fractional q-deformed Lie algebras is shown and the $B_α(E2)$ values for the fractional q-deformed symmetric rotor are calculated.

description: Abstract CO2 emissions are commonly perceived to rise and fall with aggregate output. Yet many factors, including energy-efficiency improvements, emissions coefficient variations and shifts to cleaner energy, can break the positive emissions-output relationship. To evaluate the importance of such factors, we uncover shocks that by construction reduce emissions without lowering output. These novel shocks explain a substantial fraction of emissions fluctuations. After extensively examining their impacts on macroeconomic and environmental indicators, we interpret these shocks as changes in the energy efficiency of consumer products. Our results imply that models omitting energy efficiency likely overestimate the trade-off between environmental protection and economic performance.

description: Computational protein design has a wide variety of applications. Despite its remarkable success, designing a protein for a given structure and function is still a challenging task. On the other hand, the number of solved protein structures is rapidly increasing while the number of unique protein folds has reached a steady number, suggesting more structural information is being accumulated on each fold. Deep learning neural network is a powerful method to learn such big data set and has shown superior performance in many machine learning fields. In this study, we applied the deep learning neural network approach to computational protein design for predicting the probability of 20 natural amino acids on each residue in a protein. A large set of protein structures was collected and a multi-layer neural network was constructed. A number of structural properties were extracted as input features and the best network achieved an accuracy of 38.3%. Using the network output as residue type restraints was able to improve the average sequence identity in designing three natural proteins using Rosetta. Moreover, the predictions from our network show ~3% higher sequence identity than a previous method. Results from this study may benefit further development of computational protein design methods.

Renormalization of Entanglement Entropy from topological terms

description: We propose a renormalization scheme for Entanglement Entropy of 3D CFTs with a 4D asymptotically AdS gravity dual in the context of the gauge/gravity correspondence. The procedure consists in adding the Chern form as a boundary term to the area functional of the Ryu-Takayanagi minimal surface. We provide an explicit prescription for the renormalized Entanglement Entropy, which is derived via the replica trick. This is achieved by considering a Euclidean gravitational action renormalized by the addition of the Chern form at the spacetime boundary, evaluated in the conically-singular replica manifold. We show that the addition of this boundary term cancels the divergent part of the Entanglement Entropy, recovering the results obtained by Taylor and Woodhead. We comment on how this prescription for renormalizing the Entanglement Entropy is in line with the general program of topological renormalization in asymptotically AdS gravity.

description: Το πρόβλημα της δρομολόγησης οχημάτων υπάγεται στον κλάδο της εφοδιαστικής αλυσίδας. Πρωταρχικός στόχος των προβλημάτων αυτής της κατηγορίας είναι η εύρεση της βέλτιστης διαδρομής ενός στόλου οχημάτων ξεκινώντας από μια κεντρική αποθήκη, με σκοπό την εξυπηρέτηση μιας ομάδας πελατών με συγκεκριμένη ζήτηση, ελαχιστοποιώντας το κόστος διαδρομής. Τα προβλήματα δρομολόγησης ποικίλουν σε σχέση με διάφορες παραμέτρους και περιορισμούς (π.χ ζήτηση, χρονικά περιθώρια, χωρητικότητα οχημάτων). Στην συγκεκριμένη διπλωματική εργασία θα γίνει χρήση του αλγορίθμου της νυχτερίδας για την επίλυση ορισμένων βασικών προβλημάτων δρομολόγησης. Ο Bat Algorithm (BA) υπάγεται στην κατηγορία των μεθευρετικών αλγορίθμων βελτιστοποίησης και παρουσιάστηκε για πρώτη φορά από τον Xin-She Yang το 2010. Ο αλγόριθμος προήλθε από την προσεκτική παρατήρηση του τρόπου αναζήτησης τροφής από το σμήνος ενός είδους νυκτερίδων, με χρήση της ιδιότητας ηχοεντοπισμού που διαθέτουν. Κάθε νυχτερίδα προσανατολίζεται και βρίσκει την τροφή της εκπέμποντας υψηλής συχνότητας ηχητικά κύματα, τα οποία αντανακλούν πάνω σε αντικείμενα και υποψήφια θηράματα. Ο πρωτότυπος αλγόριθμος επινοήθηκε για την επίλυση προβλημάτων συνεχών μεταβλητών, όμως στην παρούσα εργασία θα χρησιμοποιηθεί μια υβριδοποιημένη παραλλαγή για διακριτές μεταβλητές. Η υλοποίηση του αλγόριθμου θα επιτευχθεί με τη χρήση γλώσσας προγραμματισμού Python έκδοσης 3.10 και στη συνέχεια θα αναλυθούν και θα αξιολογηθούν τα αποτελέσματα κάθε προβλήματος.
description: The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) belongs to the industrial supply chain sector. The primary objective of the problems in this category is to generate the optimal route plan of a fleet of vehicles starting from a central depot, aiming to serve a group of customers with specific demand, minimizing the total route cost. Vehicle routing problems vary with respect to several factors and constraints (eg demand, time windows and vehicle capacity). This thesis will demonstrate the use of the bat algorithm to solve some basic routing problems. The Bat Algorithm (BA) is a meta-heuristic algorithm and it was found by Xin-She Yang in 2010. The name of this algorithm indicates that it is inspired by nature, specifically by the echolocation ability of a bat swarm. Each bat orients itself and finds its prey by emitting sound waves at a frequency above human hearing that reflect off objects and potential prey. The original Bat Algorithm was created to solve continuous variable problems, but this thesis will present a hybrid variant for discrete variables. The algorithm will be implemented using Python 3.10, afterwards the results of each problem will be analyzed and evaluated.

description: In generalized Proca theories with vector-field derivative couplings, a bunch of hairy black hole solutions have been derived on a static and spherically symmetric background. In this paper, we formulate the odd-parity black hole perturbations in generalized Proca theories by expanding the corresponding action up to second order and investigate whether or not black holes with vector hair suffer ghost or Laplacian instabilities. We show that the models with cubic couplings $G_3(X)$, where $X=-A_μA^μ/2$ with a vector field $A_μ$, do not provide any additional stability condition as in General Relativity. On the other hand, the exact charged stealth Schwarzschild solution with a nonvanishing longitudinal vector component $A_1$, which originates from the coupling to the Einstein tensor $G^{μν}A_μA_ν$ equivalent to the quartic coupling $G_4(X)$ containing a linear function of $X$, is unstable in the vicinity of the event horizon. The same instability problem also persists for hairy black holes arising from general quartic power-law couplings $G_4(X) \supset β_4 X^n$ with the nonvanishing $A_1$, while the other branch with $A_1=0$ can be consistent with conditions for the absence of ghost and Laplacian instabilities. We also discuss the case of other exact and numerical black hole solutions associated with intrinsic vector-field derivative couplings and show that there exists a wide range of parameter spaces in which the solutions suffer neither ghost nor Laplacian instabilities against odd-parity perturbations.

description: We study the dynamical evolution of disk and halo globular clusters in the Milky Way using a series of Fokker-Planck calculations combined with parametric statistical models. Our sample of 113 clusters with velocity data is predicted to descend from an initial population of 250 clusters, implying more than a factor of two decrease in population size due to evolution. Approximately 200 of these clusters are in a halo component and 50 in a disk component. The estimated initial halo population follows a coreless R−3.38 density profile in good agreement with current estimates for the distribution of halo field stars. The observed core in the present-day distribution of halo clusters results from the rapid evaporation of clusters in the inner regions of the Galaxy. The initial halo population is also predicted to have a radially biased orbit distribution in rough agreement with the observed kinematics of halo field stars. The isotropy of the present-day halo cluster distribution results from the evaporation of clusters on elongated orbits. Similarly, the initial disk component has a nearly isotropic initial distribution that becomes more tangentially biased with time. However, the inferred initial characteristics of the disk component do not match the kinematics of the rapidly rotating thin or thick disk stellar populations. These characteristics may be more indicative of the flattened halo component discussed by Zinn (1993). Detailed examination of cluster evolution confirms the importance of disk heating. Clusters on low-inclination orbits experience the strongest disk heating because of optimal matches in resonant frequencies. Disk heating on high-inclination orbits is weaker but still dominates over spheroidal heating. Evaporation times depend weakly on initial concentration, density and height of oscillation above the disk.

description: Large Interactive Displays (LIDs), such as tabletops or interactive walls, are promising innovations, which are increasingly used to support co-located collaboration. Yet the current evidence base on the impact of LID use on collaborative processes and outcomes, and associated influencing factors, is fragmented, particularly in comparison with other media. To address this gap, a systematic review was carried out in the databases Web of Science, Psych.Info, ACM, Elsevier, JSTOR and Springer and in the ACM CHI conference database. A corpus of 38 articles with experimental study designs met the eligibility criteria and was analyzed in-depth. With regard to collaboration processes, the findings suggest a relatively clear advantage of the use of LIDs over classic forms of collaboration, in particular over single-user environments (e.g. laptops). With attention to collaborative outcomes, positive effects of LIDs were identified for knowledge gains and social encounters, and mixed effects for task-related outcomes. The analysis further shows relevant influencing factors of LID, such as the separation of personal and joint work spaces and the deployment of horizontal instead of vertical displays. Conceptual and practice implications are discussed.

description: We demonstrate a ventilated metamaterial absorber operating at low frequency (< 500 Hz).With only two layers of the absorption units, high-efficiency absorption (> 90%) has been achieved in both simulations and experiments. This high-efficiency absorption under ventilation condition is originated from the weak coupling of the two identical split tube resonators constituting the absorber, which leads to the hybridization of the degenerate eigenmodes and breaks the absorption upper limit of 50% for conventional transmissive symmetric acoustic absorbers. The absorber can also be extended to an array and work in free space. The absorber should have potential applications in acoustic engineering where both noise reduction and ventilation are required.
Implementación del acuerdo sobre facilitación del comercio de la OMC e infracciones aduaneras en Ecuador

description: El Acuerdo sobre Facilitación del Comercio de la OMC está compuesto por tres secciones, cada una contempla un aspecto distinto de su aplicación en el país. El AFC fue ratificado por Ecuador mediante Decreto Ejecutivo, con base al informe favorable emitido por el Pleno del COMEX en el 2017, aprobado por la Asamblea Nacional a finales del 2018. Sus beneficios para países menos adelantados como Ecuador contempla una disminución en costos de hasta un 14% y un incremento de exportaciones a nivel mundial. Se creó el Comité Nacional de Facilitación del Comercio que es el encargado de poner en marcha el AFC dentro de la normativa ecuatoriana; hasta la fecha el CNFC se ha reunido una sola vez y trazó una hoja de ruta con tres ejes fundamentales: programa OEA, Transparencia y Automatización de trámites. Ecuador notificó compromisos en categorías A, B y C. Por otro lado, las infracciones aduanaeras que contiene faltas reglamentarias y contravenciones, establecen sanciones que no son proporcionales a los hechos que se sancionan, por lo cual, deben ser reformados en la legislación ecuatoriana. Estas sanciones no son concordantes ni coherentes con los principios sancionatorios y de derecho aduanero, por lo que irrumpe con normativa constitucional o convenios internacionales. Finalmente, el artículo 6.3 del AFC establece la disciplina en materia de sanciones señala que la normativa local para que tenga coherencia con el AFC deben estar tipificados en la ley, mantener proporcionalidad y transparencia. Como conclusión, en Ecuador el CNFC no tiene un cronograma establecido y pausado, lo cual hará que la implementación del AFC no sea fluida y de fácil acceso, sino que tendrá un gran impacto en la normativa y práctica nacional. En cambio, el régimen de infracciones aduaneras con su catálogo de sanciones parece un esquema de tránsito, más que aduanero, lo cual demuestra que no existe proporcionalidad en las sanciones y causa un perjuicio inmenso a los operadore de comercio exterior, al final de desincentiva la inversión extranjera y el comercio internacional de mercancías.

Vers une meilleure compréhension de la réalité des personnes aux prises avec des perceptions sensorielles
Creators: name: Sourdif, Kelly-Anne
Publisher: name: My University

description: Ce mémoire s’intéresse aux entendeurs de voix et a pour but de réduire la stigmatisation vécue. Ainsi, par le biais d’une section socio-historique sur l’hallucination, nous avons montré que l’entente de voix n’était pas un phénomène nouveau et que la médecine, par le biais de la psychiatrie, avait tenter de l’expliquer et la prendre en charge. Des données épidémiologiques sur les hallucinations et la schizophrénie (pathologie historiquement aux hallucinations) avaient ont également été présentées. Par le biais d’un cadre théorique issu du bio-pouvoir (Foucault, 1976), nous avons tenté de saisir quels étaient les enjeux auxquels les personnes aux prises avec des perceptions sensoriels faisaient face. Nos résultats ont montré que la reconnaissance sociale et médicale de l’existence du phénomène des voix permettrait de multiples bénéfices, à savoir l’émancipation des entendeurs de voix eux-mêmes, le développement de recherches scientifiques moins biaisées (car prenant en compte le phénomène d’entente des voix dans son entièreté) et de services de santé et sociaux plus inclusifs. Nous considérons que l’entente de voix est un phénomène « normal » qui fait partie de la réalité quotidienne, d’une partie de la population, celle des entendeurs de voix. Le savoir expérientiel de ces derniers est essentiel à prendre en compte pour dépasser une réalité médicale trop souvent « pathologisante », où l’entente de voix est encore synonyme de trouble psychiatrique.
Multiple solutions for superlinear fractional problems via theorems of mixed type

description: In this paper we investigate the existence of multiple solutions for the following two fractional problems \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-Δ_Ω)^{s} u-λu= f(x, u) &\mbox{in} Ω\\ u=0 &\mbox{in} \partial Ω\end{array} \right. \end{equation*} and \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-Δ_{\mathbb{R}^{N}})^{s} u-λu= f(x, u) &\mbox{in} Ω\\ u=0 &\mbox{in} \mathbb{R}^{N}\setminus Ω, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where $s\in (0,1)$, $N>2s$, $Ω$ is a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, and $f:\barΩ\times \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a superlinear continuous function which does not satisfy the well-known Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Here $(-Δ_Ω)^{s}$ is the spectral Laplacian and $(-Δ_{\mathbb{R}^{N}})^{s}$ is the fractional Laplacian in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$. By applying variational theorems of mixed type due to Marino and Saccon and Linking Theorem, we prove the existence of multiple solutions for the above problems.
