description: A theory of light diffraction from planar quasicrystalline lattice with resonant scatterers is presented. Rich structure, absent in the periodic case, is found in specular reflection spectra, and interpreted as a specific kind of Wood anomalies, characteristic for quasicrystals. The theory is applied to semiconductor quantum dots arranged in Penrose tiling.

description: We report programmable receptors for the imaging-based analysis of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in user-defined DNA sequences of single cells. Using fluorescent transcription-activator-like effectors (TALEs) that can recognize sequences of canonical and epigenetic nucleobases through selective repeats, we imaged cellular SATIII DNA, the origin of nuclear stress bodies (nSB). We achieve high nucleobase selectivity of natural repeats in imaging and demonstrate universal nucleobase binding by an engineered repeat. We use TALE pairs differing in only one such repeat in co-stains to detect 5mC in SATIII sequences with nucleotide resolution independently of differences in target accessibility. Further, we directly correlate the presence of heat shock factor 1 with 5mC at its recognition sequence, revealing a potential function of 5mC in its recruitment as initial step of nSB formation. This opens a new avenue for studying 5mC functions in chromatin regulation in situ with nucleotide, locus, and cell resolution.

SYNTAX, SYNTACTIC UNITS, AND TYPES OF SYNTACTIC CONNECTIONS
Creators: name: Qodiraliyev, Otabek
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This article delves into the core concepts of syntax, focusing on the role of syntactic units and the various types of syntactic connections that form the structure of sentences. By exploring the fundamental components of syntax, including morphemes, words, phrases, and clauses, the article illustrates how these units function together to create meaningful and grammatically correct sentences. Furthermore, it examines key syntactic connections such as coordination, subordination, apposition, modification, and adjunction, demonstrating their importance in constructing coherent and detailed expressions. The study highlights how syntactic rules allow for flexibility in communication, enabling speakers to convey a range of ideas while maintaining clarity and grammatical integrity. Through a comprehensive analysis of syntactic theory and its practical applications, the article emphasizes the significance of understanding syntax in both language acquisition and effective communication.

description: We propose an inverse method to accelerate without final excitation the adiabatic transport of a Bose Einstein condensate. The method, applicable to arbitrary potential traps, is based on a partial extension of the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants, and provides transport protocols that satisfy exactly the no-excitation conditions without constraints or approximations. This inverse method is complemented by optimizing the trap trajectory with respect to different physical criteria and by studying the effect of noise.

description: The spontaneous self-organization of two-dimensional magnetized plasma is investigated within the framework of magnetohydrodynamics with a particular emphasis on the symmetry-breaking induced by the shape of the confining boundaries. This symmetry-breaking is quantified by the angular momentum, which is shown to be generated rapidly and spontaneously from initial conditions free from angular momentum as soon as the geometry lacks axisymmetry. This effect is illustrated by considering circular, square, and elliptical boundaries. It is shown that the generation of angular momentum in nonaxisymmetric geometries can be enhanced by increasing the magnetic pressure. The effect becomes stronger at higher Reynolds numbers. The generation of magnetic angular momentum (or angular field), previously observed at low Reynolds numbers, becomes weaker at larger Reynolds numbers.

description: n fused layer modeling (FLM) manufacturing technology, there is an increased demand for semi-crystalline materials due to their favorable mechanical properties, such as high strength and toughness. The reasons for their limited use are process-related residual stresses and reduced interlayer bonding, resulting in component distortion, warping and poor strength. Addressing these problems, this paper presents the development and implementation of a rotary print head that enables local laser pre-deposition heating and forced air cooling in the 2.5-dimensional FLM process. Samples of polypropylene are fabricated to investigate the effects of the modified process on residual stresses and interlayer bonding. The investigations show that local laser pre-deposition heating can positively influence the interlayer bonding. In combination with a reduction of the extrusion temperature and additional cooling, it is possible to considerably reduce the residual stresses. The results of this research show that pre-deposition heating and forced air cooling significantly improve the processability of semi-crystalline thermoplastics in the FLM process.

description: This is the first study of the effect of pressure on transition metal dichalcogenides intercalated by atoms that order magnetically. Co$_{1/3}$NbS$_2$ is a layered system where the intercalated Co atoms order antiferromagnetically at T$_N$ = 26 K at ambient pressure. We have conducted a detailed study of dc-resistivity ($ρ$), thermoelectric power (S) and thermal conductivity ($κ$). We found that at ambient pressure the magnetic transition corresponds to a well pronounced peak in dS/dT, as well as to a kink in the dc-resistivity. The effect of ordering on the thermal conductivity is rather small but, surprisingly, more pronounced in the lattice contribution than in the electronic contribution to $κ$. Under pressure, the resistivity increases in the high temperature range, contrary to all previous measurements in other layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). In the low temperature range, the strong dependences of thermopower and resistivity on pressure are observed below TN, which, in turn, also depends on pressure at rate of dT$_N$/dp $\approx$ -1 K/kbar. Several possible microscopic explanations of the reduction of the ordering temperature and the evolution of the transport properties with pressure are discussed.

description: Drug discovery, in particular optimization of candidates using medicinal chemistry, is generally guided by structural biology. However, for optimizing binding kinetics, relevant for efficacy and off-target effects, information on protein motion is important. Herein, we demonstrate for the prototypical textbook example of an allegedly “rigid protein” that substantial active-site dynamics have generally remained unrecognized, despite thousands of medicinal-chemistry studies on this model over decades. Comparing cryogenic X-ray structures, solid-state NMR on micro-crystalline protein at room temperature, and solution NMR structure and dynamics, supported by MD simulations, we show that under physiologically relevant conditions the pocket is in fact shaped by pronounced open/close conformational-exchange dynamics. The study, which is of general significance for pharmacological research, evinces a generic pitfall in drug discovery routines.

description: The power spectrum of transmitted flux in the Ly$α$ forest in spectra of distant quasars gives us an information about matter power spectrum on the smallest spatial scales which is very important for testing of different models of dark matter. Only a few independent samples of spectra obtained on diferent instruments have been used for this purpose, thus using of additional independent sample is useful for verification an existing results. We used the data from the 2dF (Two-degree Field) QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) to obtain the mean transmitted flux for three different redshift bins. After visual inspection and rejection of spectra with broad absorption lines, damped Ly$α$ systems and low signal-to-noise ratio spectra our final sample contains 655 quasars with redshift range 2.3 $

description: The individual-medical concept of disability, whereby disability is believed to be caused by some intractable impairment, is perhaps the most widely held view in society. However, other concepts exist with which teachers in inclusive schools should be familiar (e.g., social, systemic), to better inform teacher behavior, attitudes and understanding. We therefore developed an instrument to capture education students’ concepts of disability. We constructed the questionnaire according to four theoretical models of disability (individual-medical, social, systemic, and cultural concepts), which are commonly used in inclusive teacher education, and validated this on a sample of 775 education students. Additionally, we administered the Attitudes towards Inclusion Scale (AIS) and measured key demographic variables. The instruments, data and analysis code used are available online at https://osf.io/dm4cs/. After dropping redundant items, a shortened form of the questionnaire contained 16 items, with satisfactory psychometric values for scales pertaining to four concepts of disability (CFI = 0.963, TLI = 0.955, RMSEA = 0.037, SRMR = 0.039). These four concepts of disability showed small correlations with the AIS, indicating that our questionnaire measured an independent construct. The more experience education students had with disability and the more courses they had attended on inclusive education, the more likely they were to agree with the social concept of disability. The questionnaire shows promise in measuring concepts of disability and might be used to stimulate students’ critical reflection during teacher education.

description: We demonstrate a fully tunable diode structure utilizing a fully suspended single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT). The diode's turn-on voltage under forward bias can be continuously tuned up to 4.3 V by controlling gate voltages, which is ~6 times the nanotube bandgap energy. Furthermore, the same device design can be configured into a backward diode by tuning the band-to-band tunneling current with gate voltages. A nanotube backward diode is demonstrated for the first time with nonlinearity exceeding the ideal diode. These results suggest that a tunable nanotube diode can be a unique building block for developing next generation programmable nanoelectronic logic and integrated circuits.

description: Many quantum information protocols require the implementation of random unitaries. Because it takes exponential resources to produce Haar-random unitaries drawn from the full n-qubit group, one often resorts to t-designs. Unitary t-designs mimic the Haar-measure up to t-th moments. It is known that Clifford operations can implement at most 3-designs. In this work, we quantify the non-Clifford resources required to break this barrier. We find that it suffices to inject O(t4log2(t)log(1/ε)) many non-Clifford gates into a polynomial-depth random Clifford circuit to obtain an ε-approximate t-design. Strikingly, the number of non-Clifford gates required is independent of the system size – asymptotically, the density of non-Clifford gates is allowed to tend to zero. We also derive novel bounds on the convergence time of random Clifford circuits to the t-th moment of the uniform distribution on the Clifford group. Our proofs exploit a recently developed variant of Schur-Weyl duality for the Clifford group, as well as bounds on restricted spectral gaps of averaging operators.

description: We tackle two limitations of standard instrumental variable regression in experimen- tal and observational studies: restricted estimation to the conditional mean of the outcome and the assumption of a linear relationship between regressors and outcome. More flexible regres- sion approaches that solve these limitations have already been developed but have not yet been adopted in causality analysis. The paper develops an instrumental variable estimation proce- dure building on the framework of generalized additive models for location, scale and shape. This enables modelling all distributional parameters of potentially complex response distribu- tions and non-linear relationships between the explanatory variables, instrument and outcome. The approach shows good performance in simulations and is applied to a study that estimates the effect of rural electrification on the employment of females and males in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal. We find positive marginal effects for the mean for employment of females rates, negative effects for employment of males and a reduced conditional standard deviation for both, indicating homogenization in employment rates due to the electrification pro- gramme. Although none of the effects are statistically significant, the application demonstrates the potentials of using generalized additive models for location, scale and shape in instrumental variable regression for both to account for endogeneity and to estimate treatment effects beyond the mean.

Memory effects in non-adiabatic molecular dynamics at metal surfaces

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We study the effect of temporal correlation in a Langevin equation describing non-adiabatic dynamics at metal surfaces. For a harmonic oscillator the Langevin equation preserves the quantum dynamics exactly and it is demonstrated that memory effects are needed in order to conserve the ground state energy of the oscillator. We then compare the result of Langevin dynamics in a harmonic potential with a perturbative master equation approach and show that the Langevin equation gives a better description in the non-perturbative range of high temperatures and large friction. Unlike the master equation, this approach is readily extended to anharmonic potentials. Using density functional theory we calculate representative Langevin trajectories for associative desorption of N$_2$ from Ru(0001) and find that memory effects lowers the dissipation of energy. Finally, we propose an ab-initio scheme to calculate the temporal correlation function and dynamical friction within density functional theory.

The partonic subprocesses, meson electroproduction off quarks or gluons, are calculated within the modified perturbative approach in which quark transverse momenta are retained. The soft hadronic matrix elements, generalized parton distributions, are constructed by means of double distributions. The constraints from parton distributions and sum rules are taken into account. Various moments of these generalized parton distributions are compared to recent results from lattice gauge theories.

description: By considering stem cell-based therapies as a new hope for the treatment of some tragic diseases, marrow stromal cells or marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were considered as a suitable and safe multipotential cell source for this new therapeutic approach. For this purpose, many investigations have been performed on differentiation of MSCs toward specific cell lines to overcome the demand for providing the organ specific cells for cell therapy or preparation of engineered tissues. In the present study, differentiation of MSCs to endothelial cells (ECs) by mechanical and chemical stimulation was evaluated. Fluid shear stress (FSS) was used as mechanical inducer, while platelet lysate (PL) and estradiol (E) were used as chemical induction factors. MSCs were placed under FSS with different forces (2, 5 and 10 dyn/cm²) for different periods (6, 12 and 24 hours). In some groups, PL and E were added to the culture media to evaluate their effect on expression of EC specific markers. This investigation revealed that FSS with low tension (2.5-5 dyn/cm²) for a long time (24 hours) or high tension (10 dyn/cm²) in short time (6 hours) in the presence of PL could differentiate MSCs toward ECs. The presence of PL was necessary for initiation of endothelial differentiation, and in the absence of PL, there was not any expression of CD34 and Cadherin5 (Cdh5) among cells. Adding E to the culture medium did not change the rate of endothelial differentiation under FSS. Generated endothelial progenitors could produce von Willebrand factor (vWF) after two weeks culture and also they formed tubular structures after culture on matrigel.

description: This volume provides a comparative analysis of media systems in the Arab world, based on criteria informed by the historical, political, social, and economic factors influencing a country’s media. Reaching beyond classical western media system typologies, 'Arab Media Systems' brings together contributions from experts in the field of media in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to provide valuable insights into the heterogeneity of this region’s media systems. It focuses on trends in government stances towards media, media ownership models, technological innovation, and the role of transnational mobility in shaping media structure and practices. Each chapter in the volume traces a specific country’s media – from Lebanon to Morocco – and assesses its media system in terms of historical roots, political and legal frameworks, media economy and ownership patterns, technology and infrastructure, and social factors (including diversity and equality in gender, age, ethnicities, religions, and languages). This book is a welcome contribution to the field of media studies, constituting the only edited collection in recent years to provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of Arab media systems. As such, it will be of great use to students and scholars in media, journalism and communication studies, as well as political scientists, sociologists, and anthropologists with an interest in the MENA region.
“Seduce His Emotions”: Chaplains, Religious Advisors, and Aesthetics in Texas Executions

description: Before 2019, Texas allowed chaplains to be present in its execution chamber, to speak aloud, and to physically touch prisoners to comfort them during their executions. That changed when Patrick Murphy, a Buddhist, requested his Buddhist advisor accompany him, as chaplains in Texas prisons are exclusively Christian or Muslim. Texas refused Murphy’s request. Murphy sued. The Supreme Court ruled in his favor and stayed his execution at the last minute. In response to the opinion written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which required Texas to include chaplains and advisors from all religious traditions if access was allowed at all, Texas banned them from the chamber. The new policy did not last long, as two later cases involving Christian prisoners forced Texas to loosen this rule over the following years. I argue that these changes in policy are affected by the state’s efforts to tightly control execution practices. In Texas, execution by lethal injection creates a particular aesthetic that legitimizes ritualized state violence. Officials strive to maintain this aesthetic, even if it demands curtailing access to religious counsel and care for those condemned to die. Because outside religious advisors typically know the prisoner, the state of Texas believes they pose a higher risk of error than a chaplain, who does not know the prisoner. An outside religious advisor may act out emotionally, intentionally or not, and disturb the execution. Because both the courts and the public expect a sanitized, bloodless execution, any error in the process could mean Texas loses its authority to execute people. Therefore, the state has dragged its heels in writing a cohesive policy for outside religious advisors to keep a tight hold on its authority to execute.

description: We present a novel method for direct detection and characterization of exoplanets from space. This method uses four collecting telescopes, combined with phase chopping and a spectrometer, with observations on only a few baselines rather than on a continuously rotated baseline. Focusing on the contiguous wavelength spectra of typical exoplanets, the (u, v) plane can be simultaneously and uniformly filled by recording the spectrally resolved signal. This concept allows us to perfectly remove speckles from reconstructed images. For a target comprising a star and multiple planets, observations on three baselines are sufficient to extract the position and spectrum of each planet. Our simulations show that this new method allows us to detect an analog Earth around a Sun-like star at 10 pc and to acquire its spectrum over the wavelength range from 8 to 19 μm with a high spectral resolution of 100. This method allows us to fully characterize an analog Earth and to similarly characterize each planet in multi-planet systems.

description: Η διαχείριση του Ανθρώπινου Δυναμικού, τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες, κερδίζει ολοένα και περισσότερο έδαφος στην ερευνητική κοινότητα. Το ανθρώπινο δυναμικό, αποτελεί ένα από τα σημαντικότερα, αν όχι το σημαντικότερο, περιουσιακό στοιχείο ενός οργανισμού και ως τέτοιο θα πρέπει οι οργανισμοί να το αντιμετωπίζουν. Στην προσπάθεια ανάδειξης της σημαντικότητας του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού και στη συνειδητοποίηση της σημασίας του στην εξέλιξη και άνοδο ενός οργανισμού, οργανώθηκε και κατασκευάστηκε το Πρότυπο «Επένδυση στους Ανθρώπους» - Investors in People Standard, το 1991 στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο. Το Πρότυπο αυτό περιλαμβάνει τις απαιτήσεις και τις προϋποθέσεις που πρέπει να πληρούνται από έναν οργανισμό, ώστε να είναι σε θέση να λάβει την αντίστοιχη πιστοποίηση. Η πιστοποίηση αυτή έχει να κάνει με τον τρόπο που ασκείται η ηγεσία σε έναν οργανισμό, πώς συμπεριφέρονται και νιώθουν οι εργαζόμενοι καθώς και σε πολλαπλές μεθόδους και τεχνικές ενίσχυσης των δεξιοτήτων και των ικανοτήτων όλου του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού, εντός ενός εργασιακού χώρου. Η παρούσα μελέτη, σκοπό έχει να αναδείξει τη σημαντικότητα του Προτύπου για κάθε οργανισμό. Ξεκινώντας, η μελέτη αναφέρεται κυρίως στα οφέλη που παρέχει το Πρότυπο στις επιχειρήσεις που συμμορφώνονται σε αυτό. Σκοπός της πρώτης ενότητας είναι να πειστούν, ακόμα και οι πιο δύσπιστοι, για την αναγκαιότητα υιοθέτησης του Προτύπου, προκειμένου να βελτιώσουν τα οργανωτικά τους αποτελέσματα. Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο γίνεται βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση, σχετικά με την καίρια σημασία της βελτίωσης των ανθρώπων μέσα σε έναν οργανισμό καθώς και στην επίδραση του Πρότυπου στην απόδοση ενός οργανισμού και στην εξέλιξη των εργαζομένων του.Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται τα πρότυπα ISO και η διαχείριση ανθρωπίνου δυναμικού με βάση αυτά. Ο Διεθνής Οργανισμός Τυποποίησης (ISO) έχει 166 κράτη μέλη που εκπροσωπούνται μέσω εθνικών φορέων τυποποίησης. Τα πρότυπα ISO εφαρμόζονται σε ένα ευρύ φάσμα οικονομικών τομέων και είναι ευρέως αναγνωρισμένα. Η αυξανόμενη τάση στον αριθμό των πιστοποιήσεων ISO 9001 και ISO 14001 καταδεικνύει τον ουσιαστικό αντίκτυπο και τη συνάφεια αυτών των προτύπων.Στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο, παρουσιάζεται το Πρότυπο Investors in People, και αναλύεται ταυτόχρονα η 6η γενιά του Προτύπου, όπως αυτό αναδιαμορφώθηκε το 2015. Παράλληλα, αναφέρεται και το Πρότυπο Investing in Wellness, ως μια επέκταση του Investors in People, που πέρα από τη βελτίωση των εργαζομένων, στοχεύει και στην ενίσχυση της συνολικής τους ευημερίας.Τέλος, εξάγονται συμπεράσματα γύρω από τη χρησιμότητα του Προτύπου και για το πόσο απαραίτητο είναι, όλες οι επιχειρήσεις, σε οποιονδήποτε κλάδο και να δραστηριοποιούνται, να το υιοθετήσουν, προς όφελος όχι μόνο των εργαζομένων τους, αλλά και του ίδιου του οργανισμού.
Geology, mineralization and geochronology of the Conrad Zone carlin-type gold prospect, east-central Yukon Territory, Canada
Creators: name: Tucker, Michael J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The Nadaleen Trend is a recently discovered, 25 kilometer long trend of mineralization along the northern margin of the Selwyn Basin in east-central Yukon. The regional geologic framework and style of mineralization are both analogous to the Carlin trend in Nevada. The Nadaleen Trend is bound structurally to the south by the regional scale Dawson Thrust and the Kathleen Lakes Fault to the north. This structural setting marks the boundary between the dominantly Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic slope and basin facies carbonates, siltstones and clastic rocks of the Selwyn Basin and Mackenzie Platform stratigraphy. Research efforts are focused on the Conrad and Osiris Zones within the eastern Nadaleen Trend, the first Carlin-type discoveries in the area. Mineralization accompanies the process of decarbonatization of host limestone and subsequent silicification and brecciation. This is reflected in mineralized zones occurring as breccias containing jasperoid replacement of carbonate by quartz and late, open space filling calcite and realgar. Mineralization is typically shear- and breccia-hosted, reflecting a strong structural and permeability control on the development of mineralization. Principal host rocks to mineralization are variably decarbonatized silty limestones and siliciclastic rocks along with narrow gabbroic dykes. Geochemical enrichments associated with Au in the Conrad Zone are typical of Carlin-type deposits, with strong correlations between As-Hg-Sb-Tl and Au. Arsenic occurs primarily as widespread and locally abundant realgar and orpiment. Several phases of Arsenic-rich pyrite are found in mineralized zones, typically as rims around earlier pyrite cores or as <10 μm disseminations and aggregates. The highest concentrations of gold are found within fine-grained pyrite, with values up to 800 ppm. Carbon and oxygen isotopic signatures of mineralized and altered host rocks indicate a significant shift from primary lithological background values. In areas of high gold concentrations, carbonate isotopic compositions can be depleted by as much as 7 ‰ δ¹³C and 10 ‰ δ¹⁸O from background carbonate isotopic compositions. This isotopic depletion indicates areas of increased fluid flow associated with Au-mineralization at the Conrad Zone. The age of Carlin-type mineralization is constrained by mineralized mafic dykes at 74.4 ± 1 Ma and thermally re-set apatite fission tracks at ~42 Ma.

description: Abstract:
This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.
GAW - A very large field-of-view Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope

description: GAW (Gamma Air Watch) is a pathfinder experiment in the TeV range to test the feasibility of a new generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). It combines high flux sensitivity with large field-of-view (FoV=24deg x 24deg) using Fresnel lenses, stereoscopic observational approach and single-photon counting mode. This particular counting mode, in comparison with the usual charge integration one, allows the triggering of events with a smaller number of collected Cherenkov photons keeping a good signal/background separation. GAW is conceived as an array of three identical imaging telescopes with 2.13 m diameter placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of 80 m side. The telescope will be built at the Calar Alto Observatory site (Sierra de Los Filabres - Almeria Spain, 2168 m a.s.l.) and is a joint effort of research institutes in Italy, Portugal and Spain. The main characteristics of the experiment will be reported.

God the teacher in 1 Corinthians 2 : God's threefold pedagogy and its resistance to prevailing forms of human wisdom

subject: Bible. Epistles of Paul--Theology

description: Since the Enlightenment, the philosophical study of knowledge has had a marked influence on the understanding of Christian faith and theology in relation to epistemology. The Enlightenment evaluated religious knowledge according to the same epistemic norms applied to all other forms of knowledge. In resistance to these epistemic norms, some theologians and Biblical scholars, such as Karl Barth and the apocalyptic interpreters of the Apostle Paul, have endeavored to describe an alternative theological epistemology found in Paul’s epistles. However, in many cases, these interpretations and studies have not taken into account the specific social and historical circumstances that Paul’s epistles were written to address. This dissertation attempts to explain the epistemic and pedagogical norms implicit in 1 Corinthians 2. In resistance to the Greco-Roman conventions regarding wisdom and education that were fomenting competition and division in the Corinthian fellowship, Paul explains an alternative way of knowing God. This study establishes and articulates the interpretation of Paul via three arguments. The first argument demonstrates Paul’s awareness of ancient pedagogy, particularly with regard to the Greco- Roman wisdom tradition, and the way philosophical education contributes to the ecclesial divisions in Corinth. Next, the case is made that Paul portrays God Himself as the Corinthians’ teacher in opposition to the various human teachers the Corinthians would have been accustomed to trusting. Finally, the divine pedagogy found in 1 Corinthians 2 is described in a threefold pattern: (1) Jesus’s story as the paradigm of human redemption, (2) the collaborative inspiration of human teachers by the Spirit, and (3) the transformation of the believers’ propositional faith in God into a relational knowledge and love of God.

description: The purpose of this study was to compare the pre and postoperative radiographic findings and analyze the complication rate with respect to the laterality in periacetabular osteotomy in right-handed surgeons. Satisfaction rate and radiographic findings were prospectively collected between 2017 and 2019 and retrospectively reviewed. For analysis, all measurements of the CT scans were performed by a musculoskeletal fellowship-trained radiologist. Complications were classified into two categories: perioperative or postoperative. All surgeries were performed by three right-hand dominant hip surgeons. A total of 41 dysplastic hips (25 right and 16 left hips) in 33 patients were included. Postoperatively, a significantly lower acetabular index angle on the left side was observed at -2.6 +/- 4.3 as compared to the right side at 1.6 +/- 6.5 (p < 0.05). The change in Center edge (CE) angle was significantly lower for the left side 13.7 +/- 5.5 degrees than on the right side, measured at 18.4 +/- 7.3 (p < 0.001); however, the overall CE angle was comparable at 38.5 +/- 8.9 degrees without any significant difference between the operated hips (left side at 37.8 +/- 6.1 degrees versus right side at 39.0 +/- 10.3; p = 0.340). No significant differences in other radiographic measurements or surgical time were observed. For complications, the right side was more commonly affected, which may also explain a higher satisfaction rate in patients who were operated on the left hip with 92.3%. The change in lateral CE angle was significantly lower for the left side and the right hip seems to be predisposed to complications, which correlate with a lower satisfaction rate in right-handed surgeons.

description: Flux dependent non-linearity (reciprocity failure) in HgCdTe near infrared detectors can severely impact an instrument's performance, in particular with respect to precision photometric measurements. The cause of this effect is presently not understood. To investigate reciprocity failure, a dedicated test system was built. For flux levels between 1 and 50,000 photons/s, a sensitivity to reciprocity failure of approximately 0.1%/decade was achieved. A wavelength independent non-linearity due to reciprocity failure of about 0.35%/decade was measured in a 1.7 micron HgCdTe detector.

description: In this paper, we employ micromagnetic simulations to study non-adiabatic stochastic resonance (NASR) excited by spin-transfer torque in a super-paramagnetic free layer nanomagnet of a nanoscale spin valve. We find that NASR dynamics involves thermally activated transitions among two static states and a single dynamic state of the nanomagnet and can be well understood in the framework of Markov chain rate theory. Our simulations show that a direct voltage generated by the spin valve at the NASR frequency is at least one order of magnitude greater than the dc voltage generated off the NASR frequency. Our computations also reproduce the main experimentally observed features of NASR such as the resonance frequency, the temperature dependence and the current bias dependence of the resonance amplitude. We propose a simple design of a microwave signal detector based on NASR driven by spin transfer torque.
