description: We present a comprehensive study of the gas kinematics associated with density structures at different spatial scales in the filamentary infrared dark cloud, G034.43+00.24 (G34). This study makes use of the H13CO+ (1-0) molecular line data from the ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions (ATOMS) survey, which has spatial and velocity resolution of 0.04 pc and 0.2 km/s, respectively. Several tens of dendrogram structures have been extracted in the position-position-velocity space of H13CO+, which include 21 small-scale leaves and 20 larger-scale branches. Overall, their gas motions are supersonic but they exhibit the interesting behavior where leaves tend to be less dynamically supersonic than the branches. For the larger-scale, branch structures, the observed velocity-size relation (i.e., velocity variation/dispersion versus size) are seen to follow the Larson scaling exponent while the smaller-scale, leaf structures show a systematic deviation and display a steeper slope. We argue that the origin of the observed kinematics of the branch structures is likely to be a combination of turbulence and gravity-driven ordered gas flows. In comparison, gravity-driven chaotic gas motion is likely at the level of small-scale leaf structures. The results presented in our previous paper and this current follow-up study suggest that the main driving mechanism for mass accretion/inflow observed in G34 varies at different spatial scales. We therefore conclude that a scale-dependent combined effect of turbulence and gravity is essential to explain the star-formation processes in G34.

Local Thermal Equilibrium States and Quantum Energy Inequalities

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we investigate the energy distribution of states of a linear scalar quantum field with arbitrary curvature coupling on a curved spacetime which fulfill some local thermality condition. We find that this condition implies a quantum energy inequality for these states, where the (lower) energy bounds depend only on the local temperature distribution and are local and covariant (the dependence of the bounds other than on temperature is on parameters defining the quantum field model, and on local quantities constructed from the spacetime metric). Moreover, we also establish the averaged null energy condition (ANEC) for such locally thermal states, under growth conditions on their local temperature and under conditions on the free parameters entering the definition of the renormalized stress-energy tensor. These results hold for a range of curvature couplings including the cases of conformally coupled and minimally coupled scalar field.

description: We present the long-term X-ray spectral and temporal analysis of a 'bare-type AGN' Ark 120. We consider the observations from XMM-Newton, Suzaku, Swift, and NuSTAR from 2003 to 2018. The spectral properties of this source are studied using various phenomenological and physical models present in the literature. We report (a) the variations of several physical parameters, such as the temperature and optical depth of the electron cloud, the size of the Compton cloud, and accretion rate for the last fifteen years. The spectral variations are explained from the change in the accretion dynamics; (b) the X-ray time delay between 0.2-2 keV and 3-10 keV light-curves exhibited zero-delay in 2003, positive delay of 4.71 \pm 2.1 ks in 2013, and negative delay of 4.15 \pm 1.5 ks in 2014. The delays are explained considering Comptonization, reflection, and light-crossing time; (c) the long term intrinsic luminosities obtained using nthcomp, of the soft-excess and the primary continuum show a correlation with a Pearson Correlation Coefficient of 0.922. This indicates that the soft-excess and the primary continuum are originated from the same physical process. From a physical model fitting, we infer that the soft excess for Ark 120 could be due to a small number of scatterings in the Compton cloud. Using Monte-Carlo simulations, we show that indeed the spectra corresponding to fewer scatterings could provide a steeper soft-excess power-law in the 0.2-3 keV range. Simulated luminosities are found to be in agreement with the observed values.

Idalion's Olive Presses Analyzed: The Combination of Levantine and Greek Cultural Practice

description: The olive presses at Idalion, a city-kingdom on the Eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus, exhibit an amalgamation of Levantine and Greek socio-economic and religious practices that were representative of Mediterranean culture at large.  Idalion's olive presses illustrate the different uses of olive oil and how those uses reflected the community's unique atmosphere by combining both Greek and Levantine culture.  The location of an olive press, as well as the artifacts found nearby, convey its use.  Presses in the Lower City North produced oil as part of the cottage industry present in the area, while the press inside the ancient sanctuary on the East Acropolis provided oil for religious requirements.  Aerial photography, maps, and photos provide the orientation of Cyprus within the Mediterranean and also Idalion within Cyprus, showing the geographical circumstances within which the city-kingdom became an important economic and religious center.  This thesis will use photographs, architectural drawings, and illustrations confirm how each olive press was used.  The physical remains of olive press installations at Tel Dan, Halieis, The Hill of Agios Georgios, and Myrtou-Pyghades each illustrate a different aspect of Greek or Levantine olive oil culture in the Mediterranean.  The aspects, exhibited individually at the above sites, are all found present at Idalion.  The olive presses illustrate Idalion's unique multi-cultural environment created by the social, religious, and economic implications of its location within Cyprus and the larger Mediterranean sphere.  This study of the olive presses at Idalion opens an ethnographic window through which the effects of the cultural dynamic at Idalion had on the community in the Cypriot Bronze Age.

description: The aetiopathogenesis of the multigenic multifactorial endocrinopathy, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been explored using linkage, candidate gene and genome-wide association studies. Contradictory reports of replication studies attributed to phenotypic, ethnic and geographic variations are available. In this study, we investigated the association of Han Chinese GWAS polymorphism (rs13429458) in thyroid adenoma-associated gene (THADA) with PCOS susceptibility and its related traits in Indian women. We genotyped rs13429458 of THADA by direct sequencing and investigated its association with PCOS and its related traits in controls (N = 150) and PCOS women (N = 348). All women were extensively phenotyped in terms of anthropometric, hormonal and metabolic parameters. Association of polymorphism with PCOS risk and its related traits was carried out by regression analysis. Genotypic and allele frequencies for rs13429458 were not different between controls and PCOS. Women with PCOS carrying variant allele showed significantly reduced fasting glucose levels, and decreased free and bioavailable testosterone and free androgen index. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that although this polymorphism does not alter PCOS susceptibility, it favorably impacts glucose metabolism and hyperandrogenism in Indian women with PCOS only. This study highlights that genetic predisposition markers for PCOS may differ with ethnicity and phenotypic variations.

description: The possibility of using exchange bias in ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic system to over come the effect of superparamagnetism in small cobalt nanoparticles is explored. We have prepared Co-Cr2O3 nanocomposite powders using a chemical method. It is shown that in this system the effect of superparamagnetism in cobalt nanoparticles could be overcome. The superparamagnetic blocking temperature of 3 nm cobalt particles has been increased to above room temperature. The choice of Cr2O3 is vital as its TN is higher compared to other antiferromagnetic materials used for this purpose such as CoO. The field cooled and zero field cooled hysteresis measurements of the samples confirm the existence of exchange bias interaction in this system.

Magnetostrictive thin film mirror deflector
Creators: name: Li, Si
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2009
Subjects: Engineering, Mechanical

description: The focus of this research is to investigate the design, fabrication, modeling, and characterization of magnetostrictive thin film mirror deflectors, especially suitable for Dial type of Lidar system applications that require high frequency operations. A methodology of designing a magnetostrictive thin film microactuator is developed that can assist in selecting the material, geometry, and operating parameters of the magnetostrictive thin film, substrate, and the magnetic field driver. One suitable method of fabrication of deflectors is to deposit magnetostrictive materials by sputtering over a silicon substrate that can be fabricated using microfabrication processes. Several types of sample deflectors were fabricated using TbFeB, TbDyFe, and SmFeB as alternate magnetostrictive materials. To measure the deflection of the deflector, a non- contact optical measurement system was custom developed. To study the performance of the deflector statically and dynamically, analytical, numerical, and experimental works were performed. The static analytical model, based on linear elasticity, is used to illustrate the effect of geometry and material on the performance of the deflector. The finite element analysis of flux distribution in film layer showed that the design of deflector must be done at system level that includes the magnetic field driver. As expected, the simulation result clearly shows the effect of eddy current losses when operating at high frequency. Also, the experimental results show that SmFeB deflectors saturate at around 1500 Gauss, which is much lower than the deflectors made of other materials such as TbFeB and TbDyFe. It indicates that SmFeB material has low anisotropy energy and its low field response is more suitable for MEMS devices. Deflectors were also studied dynamically. The experimental results from considering the effect of magnetic bias field match the prediction from a uniaxial model. SmFeB deflectors show higher vibration amplitude than the other deflectors. Several other interesting phenomena were observed that include the tunable torsion and bending modes, superharmonic response, hysteresis effect, and variance of resonance frequencies. The highest operating frequency, obtained and verified at which 5 mrad of deflection obtained in our work is around 30 kHz due to the limitation of the measurement system. However, based on the preliminary work the magnetostrictive thin film deflectors are potential candidates for even higher frequency applications. This work represents the initial step necessary to develop a high frequency magnetostrictive mirror deflector. Much work is needed, starting from accurate magnetostrictive material properties, to fully exploit the magnetostrictive thin film.

description: Locating populations in rural areas of developing countries has attracted the attention of humanitarian mapping projects since it is important to plan actions that affect vulnerable areas. Recent efforts have tackled this problem as the detection of buildings in aerial images. However, the quality and the amount of rural building annotated data in open mapping services like OpenStreetMap (OSM) is not sufficient for training accurate models for such detection. Although these methods have the potential of aiding in the update of rural building information, they are not accurate enough to automatically update the rural building maps. In this paper, we explore a human-computer interaction approach and propose an interactive method to support and optimize the work of volunteers in OSM. The user is asked to verify/correct the annotation of selected tiles during several iterations and therefore improving the model with the new annotated data. The experimental results, with simulated and real user annotation corrections, show that the proposed method greatly reduces the amount of data that the volunteers of OSM need to verify/correct. The proposed methodology could benefit humanitarian mapping projects, not only by making more efficient the process of annotation but also by improving the engagement of volunteers.

Bayesian calibration of the mixing length parameter $α_{ML}$ and of the helium-to-metal enrichment ratio $ΔY/ΔZ$ with open clusters: the Hyades test-bed

description: We tested the capability of a Bayesian procedure to calibrate both the helium abundance and the mixing length parameter ($α_{ML}$), using precise photometric data for main-sequence (MS) stars in a cluster with negligible reddening and well-determined distance. The method has been applied first to a mock data set generated to mimic Hyades MS stars and then to the real Hyades cluster. We tested the impact on the results of varying the number of stars in the sample, the photometric errors, and the estimated [Fe/H]. The analysis of the synthetic data set shows that $α_{ML}$ is recovered with a very good precision in all the analysed cases (with an error of few percent), while [Fe/H] and the helium-to-metal enrichment ratio $ΔY/ΔZ$ are more problematic. If spectroscopic determinations of [Fe/H] are not available and thus [Fe/H] has to be recovered alongside with $ΔY/ΔZ$ and $α_{ML}$, the well-known degeneracy between [Fe/H]-$ΔY/ΔZ$-$α_{ML}$ could result in a large uncertainty on the recovered parameters, depending on the portion of the MS used for the analysis. On the other hand, the prior knowledge of an accurate [Fe/H] value puts a strong constraint on the models, leading to a more precise parameters recovery. Using the current set of PISA models, the most recent [Fe/H] value and the Gaia photometry and parallaxes for the Hyades cluster, we obtained the average values $=2.01\pm0.05$ and $=2.03\pm0.33$, sensitively reducing the uncertainty in these important parameters.

description: To assess the birthweight of neonates conceived after fresh and frozen embryo transfers (FET) and, if different, to investigate whether estradiol levels during the late follicular phase were associated with the observed difference. Singleton pregnancies from fresh and FET transfers between January 1990 and December 2013 were compared retrospectively. A total of 2885 singleton pregnancies after fresh embryo transfer and 746 after FET were analyzed. Obstetric and neonatal outcomes were compared between fresh and FET cycles. The singletons born after FET were found to have a significantly higher birth weight (3313 g), compared to those born after fresh embryo transfer (3143 g); p Our study demonstrates a link between high estradiol levels and low birth weight of singletons after IVF both in fresh and frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles. It provides additional support to the involvement of hyperestrogenemia in the process of implantation and on the subsequent fetal development.

description: The monolithic tandem integration of third-generation solar energy materials on silicon holds great promise for photoelectrochemistry and photovoltaics. However, this can be challenging when it involves high-temperature reactive processes, which would risk damaging the Si bottom cell. One such case is the high-temperature sulfurization/selenization in thin film chalcogenide solar cells, of which the kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is an example. Here, by using very thin (<10 nm) TiN-based diffusion barriers at the interface, with different composition and properties, we demonstrate on a device level that the protection of the Si bottom cell is largely dependent on the barrier layer engineering. Several monolithic CZTS/Si tandem solar cells with open-circuit voltages (Voc) up to 1.06 V and efficiencies up to 3.9% are achieved, indicating a performance comparable to conventional interfacial layers based on transparent conductive oxides, and pointing to a promising alternative design in solar energy conversion devices.

description: This thesis examines the eighteenth-century publication, Harris's List of Covent-Garden Ladies, which was published from 1760 to 1793. It argues for the validity of the List as a historical source for studying prostitutes in eighteenth-century London and how information from the List can be compiled into a database and analyzed. This information includes age, price, appearance, personality, and ethnicity on the hundreds of prostitutes in the List. This thesis also argues that prostitutes made a rational choice to engage in prostitution since it provided better earnings than other occupations available to women at the time. Harris's List documents the socio-economic range of prostitutes in London and shows some broad changes over the 1700s, particularly price and age. Harris's List reveals a different, more entrepreneurial perspective on prostitution and shows that London prostitutes were just as diverse as their non-prostituting counterparts who were both struggling to find employment and economic stability.

description: Lameness is an important welfare and costly production problem for the dairy industry. Losses due to lameness are caused by diminished milk yields, loss of reproductive efficiency and increased involuntary culling.  These costs could be reduced with early detection and proper treatment of the  ailment.  StepMetrix, an automatic, early lameness detection system for dairy cattle has been developed for this purpose.  The automatic lameness detection of this system is ideal for the increasing farm sizes, the demand for more efficient production and the growth of labor costs in a modern dairy environment. The aim of this thesis was to improve the performance of the lameness prediction model currently used in the StepMetrix system by using B-Spline transformations of limb movement variables.  Seven lameness prediction models (including the StepMetrix lameness prediction model) were derived and tested using various databases.  The issue of modeling bovine lameness was explored by testing the hypothesis that B-spline transformation of limb movement variables employed in predictive models improved model accuracy.  The objectives were to determine the effect of the number of B-Spline knots and the degree of the underlying polynomial approximation (degree of freedom) in B-Spline transformation on model accuracy. The testing results showed that the lameness prediction models using B-Spline transformed limb movement variables did not outperform the StepMetrix lameness prediction model.  However, by applying the StepMetrix lameness prediction model and lameness prediction models using B-Spline transformed limb movement variables in series, model performance was improved in sensitivity (from 61% to 65.9%) as well as in specificity (from 64.3% to 70%).  Overall, this thesis demonstrated that models using B-Spline transformation can be used in combination with the StepMetrix lameness prediction model to improve the model performance of the StepMetrix system.

description: We propose an efficient protocol to fully reconstruct a set of high-fidelity quantum gates. Usually, the efficiency of reconstructing high-fidelity quantum gates is limited by the sampling noise. Our protocol is based on a perturbative approach and has two stages. In the first stage, the initial part of noisy quantum gates is reconstructed by measuring traces of maps, and the trace can be measured by amplifying the noise in a way similar to randomised benchmarking and quantum spectral tomography. In the second stage, by amplifying the non-unital part using the unital part, we can efficiently reconstruct the non-unital part. We show that the number of measurements needed in our protocol scales logarithmically with the error rate of gates.

description: We resolve the controversial issue of the geometric approach to the black hole thermodynamics. The geometric description of the equilibrium thermodynamics comes from Ruppeiner geometry based on a metric on the thermodynamic state space. For this purpose, we consider the Reissner-Nordström-AdS (RN-AdS) black hole which provides two different ensembles: canonical ensemble for fixed-charge case and grand canonical ensemble for fixed-potential case. Two cases are independent and cannot be mixed into each other. Hence, we calculate different Ruppeiner curvatures for two ensembles. However, we could not find the consistent behaviors of Ruppeiner curvature corresponding to those of heat capacity. Alternatively, instead of the Ruppeiner curvature, we newly propose the curvature scalar in the 2D dilaton gravity approach which shows the features of extremal, Davies and minimum temperature points of RN-AdS black hole, clearly.

Publisher: name: noland journals
Year: 2024
Subjects: Onboarding Practices, Employee Experience Outcomes, Employee Commitment, Employee Engagement, Employee Confidence.

description: The study examined the relationship between onboarding practices and employee experience outcomes in oil and gas companies in Rivers State, Nigeria an extant review of literature relevant to onboarding practices and employee experience outcomes was ascertained. The study adopts a survey research design. The population of this study comprise of 440 employees from the four major four major oil and gas firms operating in River state, Nigeria. The Taro Yamen’s formula (1973) was adopted to determine the sample size from the population which was two hundred and ten. After data cleaning, 195 questionnaires were finally used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics was used for the primary analysis using mean scores and standard deviation, at the tertiary stage, the bivariate analysis was carried out to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between the onboarding practices and the measures of employee experience outcomes with the use of linear regression in other to test the stated hypotheses formulated for the study with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25. The empirical findings revealed that there was a strong and positive relationship between onboarding practices and the measures of employee experience outcomes in oil and gas companies in Rivers State, Nigeria. The study concludes that, considering the acclaimed relevance of onboarding practices, with respect to employee experience outcomes, employers should wholeheartedly embrace onboarding practices in terms of job training, team introduction and facility tour in order to create awareness among new hire on the running of the organization. The study recommends that management of oil and gas companies in Rivers State, Nigeria under studied should make sure new hires are given the opportunity to move round the facility of the companies as a process of on boarding that will encourage the employees to be more productive on their job in the workplace

description: Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disorder characterized by the invasion of the endometrium within the myometrium, starting from the junctional zone (JZ), the inner hormone dependent layer of the myometrium that plays an important role in sperm transport, implantation and placentation. The resulting histological abnormalities and functional defects may represent the pathogenic substrate for infertility and pregnancy complications. The objective of this paper is to review the literature to evaluate the correlation between inner myometrium alterations and infertility and to assess the role of JZ in the origin of adverse obstetric outcomes of both spontaneous and in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancies. we searched Pubmed for all original and review articles in the English language from January1962 until December 2019, using the MeSH terms of ‘adenomyosis’, ‘junctional zone’, combined with ‘infertility’, ‘obstetrical outcomes’, ‘spontaneous conception’, ‘in vitro fertilization’ and ‘classification’. The review was divided into three sections to assess this pathogenic correlation, evaluating also the importance of classification of the disease. Absent or incomplete remodeling of the JZ can affect uterine peristalsis, alter vascular plasticity of the spiral arteries and activate inflammatory pathways, all related to adverse obstetric outcomes. Despite these observations, there is still limited evidence whether adenomyosis is a cause of infertility. However, it is reasonable to screen patients for adenomyosis, to consider pregnant women with diffuse adenomyosis at high risk of adverse obstetric outcomes, and to evaluate the importance of a noninvasive validated classification in the management of women with adenomyosis.
Rapidly accreting supermassive stars: reliable determination of the final mass

description: Supermassive black holes might form by direct collapse, with a supermassive star (SMS) as progenitor. In this scenario, the SMS accretes at > 0.1 Msun/yr until it collapses into a massive black hole seed due to the general-relativistic (GR) instability. However, the exact mass at which the collapse occurs is not known, as existing numerical simulations give divergent results. Here, this problem is addressed analytically, which allows for ab initio, reliable determination of the onset point of the GR instability, for given hydrostatic structures. We apply the relativistic equation of radial pulsations in its general form to the hydrostatic GENEC models already published. We show that the mass of spherical SMSs forming in atomically cooled haloes cannot exceed 500 000 Msun, in contrast to previous claims. On the other hand, masses in excess of this limit, up to 10^6 Msun, could be reached in alternative versions of direct collapse. Our method can be used to test the consistency of GR hydrodynamical stellar evolution codes.

progressive era

description: Prostitution is often referred to as the oldest profession. However, ideas and perceptions about the institution have changed and evolved over time. In America, contemporary ideas about Prostitution are rooted in the Progressive Era. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, progressive reformers sought to eradicate the societal ills that became more visible due to rapid industrialism and urbanization. Many progressives saw prostitution as a force of moral erosion in American society, especially in urban areas, and they encouraged legislators to pass laws abolishing the practice. Some Americans viewed prostitution as a necessary, albeit evil, part of society. Some argued that prostitutes benefited society by protecting virtuous women from being corrupted by males believed to have little control over their sexual urges and desires. Beginning as early as the mid nineteenth century, American purity crusaders began to challenge this belief and take steps to eradicate prostitution as a means to perfect individual females and society in general. In the early twentieth century progressive reformers articulated the belief that prostitution was not a practical solution to male sexuality; instead they believed prostitution victimized vulnerable females. These progressives saw the world and society through their own Victorian eyes. To them prostitution was immoral, and all women involved were victims of men's base desires. However, this generalization about prostitution overlooks some important details. For some women, prostitution was a viable source of income outside the limited options that women had in the world of work. This thesis project will explore the factors that led some women into prostitution, trace the movement to abolish prostitution, and clarify the ideas and goals of the progressives who sought to eradicate prostitution. The culminating portion of the thesis will consider the impact of the movement to legally abolition prostitution and attempt to evaluate its success in improving society. The study will focus on Baltimore City, Maryland from 1900 to 1916, a time period encompassed by what historians refer to as the Progressive Era. It was during this time that self-proclaimed progressive-minded reformers had begun to study and seek the eradication of societal ills through government regulation and reform. Commissions were formed in various cities throughout America to investigate incidences of vice and make recommendations regarding their elimination. Baltimore City was chosen for the location of this research because, unlike other major cities such as Chicago, St. Louis, and New York, no thorough, published study of the history of prostitution in Baltimore has been conducted.

description: In this paper, we consider inner automorphisms that leave invariant fixed subspaces of real and complex Clifford algebras -- subspaces of fixed grades and subspaces determined by the reversion and the grade involution. We present groups of elements that define such inner automorphisms and study their properties. Some of these Lie groups can be interpreted as generalizations of Clifford, Lipschitz, and spin groups. We study the corresponding Lie algebras. Some of the results can be reformulated for the case of more general algebras -- graded central simple algebras or graded central simple algebras with involution.
