description: The properties of compact stars and their formation processes depend on many physical ingredients. The composition and the thermodynamics of the involved matter is one of them. We will investigate here uniform strongly interacting matter at densities and temperatures, where potentially other components than free nucleons appear such as hyperons, mesons or even quarks. In this paper we will put the emphasis on two aspects of stellar matter with non-nucleonic degrees of freedom. First, we will study the phase diagram of baryonic matter with strangeness, showing that the onset of hyperons, as that of quark matter, could be related to a very rich phase structure with a large density domain covered by phase coexistence. Second, we will investigate thermal effects on the equation of state (EoS), showing that they favor the appearance of non-nucleonic particles. We will finish by reviewing some recent results on the impact of non-nucleonic degrees freedom in compact star mergers and core-collapse events, where thermal effects cannot be neglected.

description: In this paper, we investigate stability of a class of analytic neural networks with the synaptic feedback via event-triggered rules. This model is general and include Hopfield neural network as a special case. These event-trigger rules can efficiently reduces loads of computation and information transmission at synapses of the neurons. The synaptic feedback of each neuron keeps a constant value based on the outputs of the other neurons at its latest triggering time but changes at its next triggering time, which is determined by certain criterion. It is proved that every trajectory of the analytic neural network converges to certain equilibrium under this event-triggered rule for all initial values except a set of zero measure. The main technique of the proof is the Lojasiewicz inequality to prove the finiteness of trajectory length. The realization of this event-triggered rule is verified by the exclusion of Zeno behaviors. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the theoretical results.

description: We studied associations between fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), health and household exposure among school children (N = 348) in Penang, Malaysia. Multiple logistic regression and linear mixed models were applied. Overall, 46.0% had elevated FeNO (>20 ppb) and 10.6% diagnosed asthma. Male gender (p = 0.002), parental asthma or allergy (p = 0.047), cat allergy (p = 0.009) and seafood allergy (p < 0.001), diagnosed asthma (p = 0.001), wheeze (p = 0.001), ocular symptoms (p = 0.001), rhinitis (p = 0.002) and respiratory infections (p = 0.004) were all associated with FeNO. Students exposed to ETS had lower FeNO (p = 0.05). Dampness and mould was associated with wheeze (p = 0.038), especially in wooden homes (interaction p = 0.042) and among students with elevated FeNO (interaction p = 0.024). Cat keeping increased rhinitis (p = 0.041) and respiratory infections (p = 0.008) and modified the dampness associations. In conclusion, FeNO can be associated with ocular and respiratory symptoms. Elevated FeNO, cat keeping and a wooden house can enhance the risk of wheeze when exposed to dampness and mould.

description: We introduce a new algorithm for colour separation and deblending of multi-band astronomical images called MuSCADeT which is based on Morpho-spectral Component Analysis of multi-band images. The MuSCADeT algorithm takes advantage of the sparsity of astronomical objects in morphological dictionaries such as wavelets and their differences in spectral energy distribution (SED) across multi-band observations. This allows us to devise a model independent and automated approach to separate objects with different colours. We show with simulations that we are able to separate highly blended objects and that our algorithm is robust against SED variations of objects across the field of view. To confront our algorithm with real data, we use HST images of the strong lensing galaxy cluster MACS J1149+2223 and we show that MuSCADeT performs better than traditional profile-fitting techniques in deblending the foreground lensing galaxies from background lensed galaxies. Although the main driver for our work is the deblending of strong gravitational lenses, our method is fit to be used for any purpose related to deblending of objects in astronomical images. An example of such an application is the separation of the red and blue stellar populations of a spiral galaxy in the galaxy cluster Abell 2744. We provide a python package along with all simulations and routines used in this paper to contribute to reproducible research efforts. Codes can be found at http://lastro.epfl.ch/page-126973.html.

description: The millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication technology, which employs large-scale antenna arrays, enables inherent sensing capabilities. Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) can utilize channel multipath angle estimates to realize integrated sensing and communication design in 6G communication systems. However, existing works have ignored the significant overhead required by the mmWave beam management when implementing SLAM with angle estimates. This study proposes a joint beam management and SLAM design that utilizes the strong coupling between the radio map and channel multipath for simultaneous beam management, localization, and mapping. In this approach, we first propose a hierarchical sweeping and sensing service design. The path angles are estimated in the hierarchical sweeping, enabling angle-based SLAM with the aid of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to realize sensing service. Then, feature-aided tracking is proposed that utilizes prior angle information generated from the radio map and IMU. Finally, a switching module is introduced to enable flexible switching between hierarchical sweeping and feature-aided tracking. Simulations show that the proposed joint design can achieve sub-meter level localization and mapping accuracy (with an error < 0.5 m). Moreover, the beam management overhead can be reduced by approximately 40% in different wireless environments.

description: This study aimed to analyse the efficacy of a new cold plasma device adapted for treatment with a low power consumption . We tested the reduction of bacterial cells in biofilms of E. coli, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. . The results show significant differences between bacterial cells, suggesting that Gramme-positive S. aureus is less susceptible to plasma treatment than Gramme-negative E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Increasing the exposure time and decreasing the distance decreases the number of cells in the biofilm. However, the combination of close distance and long exposure time resulted in synergistic effects. We demonstrated a reduction of up to 6.6 log CFU cm2 for E. coli at 1 mm and an exposure time of 60 seconds. All these indicate that the new cold plasma jet device can be an important key to ensuring hygiene and numerous applications in medicine and engineering are possible.

description: High resolution spectroscopy plays a key role in the effort to detect and characterise other Earths. This objective remains, however, challenged by astrophysical noise from the host stars, whose oscillations, granulation, and magnetic activity distort the observed spectra. A new approach to understand this problem is needed. In this talk I will present PoET, the Paranal Solar Espresso Telescope. Expected to start observations in the end of 2024, PoET will connect to the "planet hunter" ESPRESSO spectrograph (ESO-VLT) and provide both disk resolved and disk integrated ("sun-as-a-star") observations of the Sun. This unique dataset will be obtained in the ultra-high resolution mode (R>200 000) and cover the full optical domain (380-780 nm) in one single shot. Using the Sun as a proxy for other solar-type stars, data will allow to map our star and understand in unprecedented detail the contribution of each solar feature to spectral variability that affect the detection and characterisation of exoplanets (precise radial velocities and transmission/emission spectroscopy). The data will further allow to tackle problems in solar and stellar physics, including the derivation of stellar abundances in the presence of active regions.

description: Using anyon-fermion mapping method, we investigate the ground state properties of hard-core anyons confined in a one-dimensional harmonic trap. The concise analytical formula of the reduced one-body density matrix are obtained. Basing on the formula, we evaluated the momentum distribution, the natural orbitals and their occupation distributions for different statistical parameters. The occupation and occupation fraction of the lowest natural orbital versus anyon number are also displayed. It is shown that the ground state properties of anyons interplay between Bosons and Fermions continuously. We can expect that the hard-core anyons of larger statistical parameter exhibit the similar properties to the hard-core Bosons although anyon system satisfy specific fractional statistics.

description: Occurrence of five heavy elements (HEs) was analyzed in indoor dust (n = 45) in households from four settlements in Vojvodina Province, Serbia. Overall medians (mg/kg) of Pb (5.6), Ni (5.2), Cu (27), and Cr (6.8) were below soil background values, while median for Cd (1.1) exceeded it. Pollution load index showed that the households’ microenvironment in examined region might be regarded as unpolluted. Integrated pollution index revealed low contamination by Pb, Ni, and Cr, but high with Cu and Cd. Source apportionment by principal component analysis and positive matrix factorization suggested two possible sources: outdoor pollution and household materials. Hazard index was below safe limit (<1), indicating no adverse non-carcinogenic health effects. Estimated total carcinogenic risk for children and adult population was not negligible. Results indicated that attention should be paid to the presence of HE in indoors to conduct effective control measures and to ensure the health of the population.

description: Synthetic polymers with additives are used in the manufacturing of face masks (FMs); hence, FMs could be a potential source of exposure to phthalic acid esters (PAEs). India stands second in the world in terms of the FMs usage since the beginning of Covid-19 pandemic. However, little is known about the PAEs content of FMs used in India. Some PAEs, such as DEHP and DBP are suspected endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs); hence, wearing FM may increase the risk of exposure to these EDCs. In this study, we collected 91 samples of FMs from eight Indian cities and analyzed for five PAEs viz. DMP, DEP, DBP, BBP, and DEHP. The PAEs contents in FMs ranged from 101.79 to 27,948.64 ng/g. The carcinogenic risk of N 95 with filter, N-95, and cloth masks was higher than the threshold levels. The findings indicate the need to control PAEs in FMs through regulatory actions.

description: Yemeni researchers have standardized a PCR test that diagnoses Helicobacter pylori infections more accurately than existing methods . H. pylori, a bacterium present in the stomachs of more than half the world’s population, is a well-known risk factor for stomach ulcers, chronic active gastritis, and several different types of stomach cancer. Its prevalence is significantly higher in developing than in developed countries (around 80% and 30%, respectively), and differs markedly between countries in the same region. In the Middle East, for example, 80% of Egyptians are infected, compared with 50% of Saudi Arabians. H. pylori can be detected non-invasively by blood tests, breath tests and stool sampling, or by tissue sampling followed by biochemical, culture-based or molecular assays, depending on the resources available. The most accurate method is the rapid urease test, where the bacterial enzyme urease, which H. pylori uses to break down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, is detected in tissue samples. As yet, however, there is no gold standard for diagnosing H. pylori infection. Recently, there has been growing interest in using quantitative PCR (q-PCR) to diagnose H. pylori infection. However, the assay remains largely unstandardized. A new test developed by Nezar Al-hebshi and his team at the University of Science and Technology in Sana’a uses a commercial real-time quantitative PCR (q-PCR) kit to detect the presence of the ureA gene, which encodes the urease enzyme, in samples collected. The researchers collected 76 stomach biopsy specimens from patients undergoing endoscopies, and examined them with their own test as well as two established ones — the rapid urease test, and a bacterial cell culture method used to see if bacteria are present in blood or stool samples. According to their results, the q-PCR test was marginally more accurate than the rapid urease test, with a sensitivity and selectivity of 94.9% and of 94.6%, respectively. It may therefore be the most accurate method for diagnosing H. pylori infections, but the rapid urease test costs less and is faster and easier to conduct. “Q-PCR assays are known for being very sensitive,” says Al-hebshi. “In our study, samples with low bacterial counts detected only by q-PCR were considered as false positives, the assumption being that such low counts do not represent true infection.” 1 “However, the possibility remains that they do represent true infections that simply cannot be detected by routinely used assays. We plan to assess the reproducibility of the assay [and] investigate whether or not low bacterial counts detected only by q-PCR represent true infection.”Other InformationPublished in: QScience.com Highlights, Published by Nature Research for Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)

description: COVID-19 has caused huge damage to public health around the world, revealing the influencing factors are essential to take effective control. By using a global dataset covering 617 time series over the world, we estimated the transmission parameters and modeled human and climate effects on COVID-19 transmission. We found that the average transmission rate was lower in warm climate over the world and in wet climate (more precipitation) in Europe. The maximum transmission rate was lower in warm climate in the world, China and USA, and in wet climate in China. The control efficiency in the world, China, and USA was lower in warm and wet condition. In general, our results indicate that warm and wet climate do not favor transmission and human intervention of COVID-19, and COVID-19 transmission rate would be lower in warm and wet seasons or regions than in dry and cold ones.

description: Etter at det norsk-russiske bilaterale politiske forholdet ble gjenopptatt våren 2017, er energisektor vinneren. Kan norsk næringsliv på nytt nærme seg det russiske markedet, som nå er delvis ekskludert fra den globaliserte økonomien på grunn av sanksjonene? Etter Børge Brendes møte med Sergei Lavrov i Arkhangelsk i mars, har forhandlingene om samarbeid innen olje og gass skutt fart. Potensialet for samarbeid mellom Norge og Russland er stort påstår Russlands naturressurs- og miljøminister, Sergei Donskoy. I forbindelse med møte i den norsk-russiske økonomiske kommisjonen i Moskva 21. april, signerte han og Monica Mæland en avtale om seismikksamarbeid langs grenselinjen i Barentshavet. Samme dag påpekte Utenriksdepartementet i sin melding til Stortinget at ”Endringer i [...] Russlands økonomiske og politiske utvikling og i rammebetingelsene for internasjonal handel har betydelige konsekvenser for Norge.” Så Russland er viktig. Russiske markedsaktører er interessert i norske bedrifter som ikke begrenset av restriktive tiltak. Etterspørselen er stor, og omfattende prosjekter er i gang. Blant annet bygges det to større fabrikkanlegg i Sibir, som et fellesprosjekt mellom Gazprom og SIBUR. Amur gassprosseseringsanlegg er under oppbygging i byen Svobodnyi i Amur-regionen. Anlegget vil stå ferdig i 2022 og vil da bli et av de største gassprosseseringsanleggene i verden. Kina blir hovedmarkedet for fabrikkens produkter.

description: We present the results of CCD UBV observations of the open cluster NGC 6819. We calculated the stellar density profile in the cluster's field to determine the structural parameters of NGC 6819. Using the existing astrometric data, we calculated the probabilities of the stars being physical members of the cluster, and used these objects in the determination of the astrophysical parameters of NGC 6819. We inferred the reddening and metallicity of the cluster as $E(B-V)=0.130\pm0.035$ mag and $[Fe/H]=+0.051\pm 0.020$ dex, respectively, using the U-B vs B-V two-colour diagram and UV excesses of the F-G type main-sequence stars. We fit the colour-magnitude diagrams of NGC6819 with the PARSEC isochrones and derived the distance modula, distance and age of the cluster as $μ_{V}=12.22\pm 0.10$ mag, $d=2309\pm106$ pc and $t=2.4\pm0.2$ Gyr, respectively. The parameters of the galactic orbit estimated for NGC 6819 indicate that the cluster is orbiting in a slightly eccentric orbit of $e=0.06$ with a period of $P_{orb}=142$ Myr. The slope of the mass function estimated for the cluster is close to the one found for the stars in the solar neighbourhood.

Diferenciales de remuneracion

description: Lo ideal es que exista un equilibrio o un perfecto ajuste en el mercado de trabajo con el fin de garantizar una mejor calidad de vida de sus habitantes, reflejado esto en remuneraciones justas, de acuerdo a las competencias de los trabajadores. Es importante señalar que el mercado laboral colombiano se ha caracterizado por presentar sesgos profundos y persistentes de diversa índole, evidenciándose que los mercados regionales muestran poca interdependencia en el sentido que las remuneraciones salariales del factor trabajo varían sustancialmente en diferentes puntos geográficos del país, observándose brechas salariales no homogéneas a lo ancho y largo de Colombia. El trabajo DIFERENCIALES SALARIALES DE LOS INGENIEROS DEL CARIBE COLOMBIANO. 2007-2010, se orienta alrededor de cuatro ejes temáticos hacia el problema en cuestión, los cuales son: la caracterización del mercado laboral de las Ingenierías en la costa caribe colombiana, el comportamiento y tendencias de los salarios de los ingenieros en el mercado laboral, la correlación existente entre las características de los ingenieros y su nivel salarial y finalmente, un análisis comparativo de los diferenciales salariales para los ingenieros colombianos. Los resultados muestran que las brechas salariales entre los ingenieros en estudio, no sólo están enmarcadas por el género como se expresa en un principio, además, se encuentra que la variable origen de universidad, posee gran peso sobre las brechas salariales, y enmarca brechas salariales en relación con el género del ingeniero en estudio, de manera que estudiar en una IES oficial disminuye el salario.

description: Nanotechnology has several applications in the agricultural industry, as the small size of nanoparticles and high reactivity enables targeted delivery of pesticides and fertilizers to the intended crop. Copper-based nanopesticides such as Kocide, are proposed as a more efficient method for targeted pest control. Despite the potential benefits of nanopesticides, little is known regarding the transport and implications of nanopesticides under long-term inundation conditions often found in downstream wetlands. Specifically, the impact of nanopesticides on microbial nitrogen processes in wetland environments remains unknown. Therefore, this thesis explores the impact of nanopesticides, specifically Kocide, on microbial nitrogen cycles in agricultural and wetland soils found in Central Kentucky. Implications to the nitrogen cycle following Kocide exposure were assessed using soil microcosms.  The study assessed nitrification, denitrification, runoff, and greenhouse gas production processes following the addition of Kocide at three application rates (1X, 5X, 15X) and monitored over 10 weeks within the same soil system.  Further, long-term effects to the nitrogen cycle were also assessed with recurring Kocide enrichments.  Significant differences were observed between both application rates and short-term incubation sampling times for both nitrification and denitrification at different levels (α = 0.05). General trends indicated inhibited nitrogen processes over the long term. Findings provide guidance for application methods for current producers and assessment for fate and transport of these pesticides for environmental conservationists and regulatory agencies.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of van der Waals systems

description: In this thesis, we develop a new method to account for the vibrational renormalisation of electronic structure by both thermal and quantum lattice vibrational effects. Atomic configurations are randomly sampled based on quasiharmonic phonon calculations within density functional theory, and the excitation energy at each configuration is evaluated using fixed-node diffusion quantum Monte Carlo. We demonstrate that the developed technique is efficient and has the potential to be applied to a wide range of materials. We report the zero-point renormalisation of the band gap for benzene, monolayer and bulk hBN, bulk Si and C-diamond. The proposed approach within quantum Monte Carlo is found to be sufficient to capture the quantum effect of zero-point motion and improve the agreement with experiment gap results. We also investigate the temperature-dependent renormalisation of the direct band gap of benzene, bulk Si, and C-diamond arising from harmonic vibrational effects within density functional theory. We study an impurity of a single hole in ideal, dilute weakly doped 2D homogeneous electron gas modelling a van der Waals heterostructure of a MoSe2 monolayer embedded in flakes of hBN. This allows us to investigate the effect of a finite concentration of charge carriers that interact via a periodic Keldysh interaction on the formation of a negative trion. The quantum Monte Carlo results of relaxation energies and pair correlation functions at a range of low densities are reported. Our results indicate that the screening effects of the surrounding electron gas on the formation of a negative trion are weak. We perform ab initio calculations of the defect formation energy for silicon substitution and Stone–Wales defects in monolayer graphene and the atomisation energy of bulk silicon, with the aim of benchmarking the accuracy of the widely used density functional theory method in these types of calculations. Our results show that the density functional theory significantly underestimates the defect formation energy and overestimates the atomisation energy of bulk silicon.

description: With the rapid development of high-resolution 3D vision applications, the traditional way of manipulating surface detail requires considerable memory and computing time. To address these problems, we introduce an efficient surface detail processing framework in 2D normal domain, which extracts new normal feature representations as the carrier of micro geometry structures that are illustrated both theoretically and empirically in this article. Compared with the existing state of the arts, we verify and demonstrate that the proposed normal-based representation has three important properties, including detail separability, detail transferability and detail idempotence. Finally, three new schemes are further designed for geometric surface detail processing applications, including geometric texture synthesis, geometry detail transfer, and 3D surface super-resolution. Theoretical analysis and experimental results on the latest benchmark dataset verify the effectiveness and versatility of our normal-based representation, which accepts 30 times of the input surface vertices but at the same time only takes 6.5% memory cost and 14.0% running time in comparison with existing competing algorithms.

description: The highly unidirectional excitation of graphene plasmons (GPs) through near-field interference of orthogonally polarized dipoles is investigated. The preferred excitation direction of GPs by a single circularly polarized dipole can be simply understood with the angular momentum conservation law. Moreover, the propagation direction of GPs can be switched not only by changing the phase difference between dipoles, but also by placing the z-polarized dipole to its image position, whereas the handedness of the background field remains the same. The unidirectional excitation of GPs can be extended directly into arc graphene surface as well. Furthermore, our proposal on directional generation of GPs can be realized in a semiconductor nanowire/graphene system, where a semiconductor nanowire can mimic the circularly polarized dipole when illuminated by two orthogonally polarized plane waves.
