description: Using conformal field theory methods we construct a metric that describes the distortion of space-time surrounding a D(irichlet)-brane (solitonic) defect after being struck by another D-brane. By viewing our four-dimensional universe as such a struck brane, embedded in a five-dimensional space-time, we argue on the appearance of a band of massive Kaluza-Klein excitations for the bulk graviton which is localized in a region of the fifth dimension determined by the inverse size of the band. The band incorporates the massless mode (ordinary graviton) and its thickness is determined essentially by the width of the Gaussian distribution describing the (target-space) quantum fluctuations of the intersecting-brane configuration.

description: Cadmium chalcogenide nanoplatelets (NPLs) are not only known due to their unique optical properties but also because of their ability to self-assemble into stacks with new collective properties. Only recently, a stacking process in an aqueous medium has been demonstrated, which opens up possible applications and methods such as gelation. Nanoparticle-based aerogels gain a lot of attention due to their high relative surface areas and porosity and thus, high potential for catalytic applications. Herein, the positive properties of aerogels to the NPL-stack system by cryoaerogelation of destabilized NPL dispersions are introduced. After the addition of an antisolvent to initiate the stacking, the dispersion is flash-frozen with liquid nitrogen and freeze-dried. By this method, porous cryoaerogel networks result in high surface areas and retained stacking of the NPLs. The formed stack-gels are investigated by electron microscopy and physisorption measurements. Optical and photoelectrochemical measurements verify the charge carrier transport within the stack-gel network.

O enigma do modelo por competência no ensino primário de Moçambique

Year: 2021

description: A implementação efetiva do Modelo por Competência nas instituições da educação constitui um dos maiores desafios do Ministério da Educação e Desenvolvimento Humano. Passa mais do que uma década que os currículos baseados em competência estão sendo implementados no Ensino Primário. Contudo, a qualidade de formação dos alunos nos diferentes ciclos de aprendizagem tem sido reclamada e/ou censurada por diferentes grupos sociais, incluindo professores, pais e encarregados de educação. É neste âmbito que o presente artigo pretende analisar o impacto e efeitos do desenvolvimento de competências na organização curricular moçambicana na qualidade de aprendizagens dos alunos do Ensino Primário do país. Para o efeito, foram eleitos os paradigmas quantitativo e qualitativo, a combinação de métodos bibliográficos, documental e de estudo de caso e ainda de técnicas como entrevista, questionário, observação e testes diagnósticos aplicados sobre uma amostra de (N=908) indivíduos (gestores, professores e alunos. O percurso investigativo permitiu que se chegasse à conclusão de que o modelo por competência está longe de ser implementado efectivamente nas escolas moçambicanas, uma vez que apenas 45% dos cerca de n=112 alunos testados é que desenvolveram as competências prescritas nos programas do Ensino Primário. Este facto deve-se à falta ou deficiente apropriação da filosofia e estratégias exigidas pelo currículo pelos dirigentes, gestores, professores e encarregados de educação, exiguidade de recursos infraestruturais, materiais e meios de ensino para efectiva implementação do currículo do Ensino Primário.

description: We investigated the anisotropy of the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of singlecrystalline double perovskite Tb2CoMnO6, which crystallizes in a monoclinic P21/n structure. Due to dissimilar magnetic anisotropy, the ferromagnetic order of the Co2+ and Mn4+ moments emerges along the c-axis at TC = 100 K, and the larger Tb3+ moments align perpendicular to the c-axis, below TTb = 15 K. The intricate temperature development of the metamagnetism along the c-axis results in a large negative change in the magnetic entropy at low temperature. On the other hand, the larger but almost reversible magnetization, perpendicular to the c-axis, results in a small and positive entropy change. This highly anisotropic magnetocaloric effect (MCE) leads to a giant rotational MCE, estimated to be 20.8 J/kg K. Our findings, based on the magnetic anisotropy in Tb2CoMnO6, enrich fundamental and applied research on magnetic materials, considering the distinct magnetic characteristics of double perovskites.

description: [Takayasu et al., Phys. Rev.Lett. 79, 966 (1997)] revisited the question of stochastic processes with multiplicative noise, which have been studied in several different contexts over the past decades. We focus on the regime, found for a generic set of control parameters, in which stochastic processes with multiplicative noise produce intermittency of a special kind, characterized by a power law probability density distribution. We briefly explain the physical mechanism leading to a power law pdf and provide a list of references for these results dating back from a quarter of century. We explain how the formulation in terms of the characteristic function developed by Takayasu et al. can be extended to exponents $μ>2$, which explains the ``reason of the lucky coincidence''. The multidimensional generalization of (\ref{eq1}) and the available results are briefly summarized. The discovery of stretched exponential tails in the presence of the cut-off introduced in \cite{Taka} is explained theoretically. We end by briefly listing applications.

Measurements of jets in heavy ion collisions

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is created in high energy heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This medium is transparent to electromagnetic probes but nearly opaque to colored probes. Hard partons produced early in the collision fragment and hadronize into a collimated spray of particles called a jet. The partons lose energy as they traverse the medium, a process called jet quenching. Most of the lost energy is still correlated with the parent parton, contributing to particle production at larger angles and lower momenta relative to the parent parton than in proton-proton collisions. This partonic energy loss can be measured through several observables, each of which give different insights into the degree and mechanism of energy loss. The measurements to date are summarized and the path forward is discussed.

description: Ultra-hard cutting materials such as polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and cubic boron nitride (PcBN) are increasingly being used as cutting tools in machining. The finishing of cutting tools is challenging due to their mechanical and thermal properties. Both mechanical preparation processes such as grinding and brushing are used to prepare the final contour of the tools. All processes affect the subsurface of the cutting edge, thermally, mechanically, or both. In addition to influencing the cutting edge microgeometry and topography, it is also to be expected that the residual stress state is influenced. In particular for the highly loaded cutting edge, the residual stress state is of major interest, since high cyclic load stresses occur during cutting. A measurement using conventional X-ray diffraction to determine the residual stress state in the cutting edge is not possible due to the very small surface and the strong curvature. For this reason, the influence of the cutting edge preparation methods grinding and brushing for PCD and PcBN on the residual stress state is determined in this work using Raman spectroscopy. For this purpose, the preparation-induced peak shift in the Raman spectrum is determined. This is then converted into absolute residual stresses using previously determined conversion factors.

description: By applying some theorems of Levy and Mordukhovich (Math Program 99: 311--327, 2004) and other related results, we estimate the Fréchet coderivative and the Mordukhovich coderivative of the stationary point set map of a smooth parametric optimization problem with one smooth functional constraint under total perturbations. From the obtained formulas we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the local Lipschitz-like property of the stationary point set map. This leads us to new insights into the preceding deep investigations of Levy and Mordukhovich in the above-cited paper and of Qui (J Optim Theory Appl 161: 398--429, 2014; J Glob Optim 65: 615--635, 2016).

description: Recent observations seem to suggest that our Universe is accelerating implying that it is dominated by a fluid whose equation of state is negative. Quintessence is a possible explanation. In particular, the concept of tracking solutions permits to adress the fine-tuning and coincidence problems. We study this proposal in the simplest case of an inverse power potential and investigate its robustness to corrections. We show that quintessence is not affected by the one-loop quantum corrections. In the supersymmetric case where the quintessential potential is motivated by non-perturbative effects in gauge theories, we consider the curvature effects and the Kähler corrections. We find that the curvature effects are negligible while the Kähler corrections modify the early evolution of the quintessence field. Finally we study the supergravity corrections and show that they must be taken into account as $Q\approx m_{\rm Pl}$ at small red-shifts. We discuss simple supergravity models exhibiting the quintessential behaviour. In particular, we propose a model where the scalar potential is given by $V(Q)=\frac{Λ^{4+α}}{Q^α}e^{\fracκ{2}Q^2}$. We argue that the fine-tuning problem can be overcome if $α\ge 11$. This model leads to $ω_Q\approx -0.82$ for $Ω_{\rm m}\approx 0.3$ which is in good agreement with the presently available data.

description: There is a $+2σ$ deviation in the average Higgs-signal strength for all the $7+8+13$ TeV data up to Summer 2018. We find that a slight reduction of the bottom-Yukawa coupling can fit the data better than the standard model. We suggest an extension with a vector-like quark doublet, of which the right-handed component of $b'$ mixes nonnegligibly with the standard model $b$ quark. We show that the mixing would induce a reduction of the bottom Yukawa coupling. Simultaneously, the coupling of the $Z$ boson to the right-handed $b$ quark increases, which could reduce the forward-backward asymmetry of bottom production at LEP and bring it closer to the experimental value.

description: For the last two decades, the amount of genomic data produced by scientific and medical applications has been growing at a rapid pace. To enable software solutions that analyze, process, and transmit these data in an efficient and interoperable way, ISO and IEC released the first version of the compression standard MPEG-G in 2019. However, non-proprietary implementations of the standard are not openly available so far, limiting fair scientific assessment of the standard and, therefore, hindering its broad adoption. In this paper, we present Genie, to the best of our knowledge the first open-source encoder that compresses genomic data according to the MPEG-G standard. We demonstrate that Genie reaches state-of-the-art compression ratios while offering interoperability with any other standard-compliant decoder independent from its manufacturer. Finally, the ISO/IEC ecosystem ensures the long-term sustainability and decodability of the compressed data through the ISO/IEC-supported reference decoder.

description: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are attracting increasing research interest due to their ability to monitor large areas independently. Their reliability is a crucial issue, as it is influenced by hardware, data, and energy-related factors such as loading conditions, signal attenuation, and battery lifetime. Proper selection of sensor node positions is essential to maximise system reliability during the development of products equipped with WSNs. For this purpose, this paper presents an approach to estimate WSN system reliability during the development phase based on the analysis of measurements, using strain measurements in finite element (FE) models as an example. The approach involves dividing the part under consideration into regions with similar strains using a region growing algorithm (RGA). The WSN configuration is then analysed for reliability based on data paths and measurement redundancy resulting from the sensor positions in the identified measuring regions. This methodology was tested on an exemplary WSN configuration at an aircraft wing box under bending load and found to effectively estimate the hardware perspective on system reliability. Therefore, the methodology and algorithm show potential for optimising sensor node positions to achieve better reliability results.

O tema da liberdade de expressão tem se tornado cada vez mais importante para osestudos de comunicação. O segundo objetivo é, relembrando os 60 anos do suicídio do presidenteGetúlio Vargas, falar de sua atuação no controle e intervençãosobre aimprensa e a produção artística. Ele foi o criador do sistema de censura que vigorou no Brasilde 1937 a 1988(quando a Constituição eliminou os órgãos oficiais de censura), através do Departamento de Imprensa e Propaganda (DIP),do qual o Arquivo Miroel Silveira é resultado e exemplo. O terceiro objetivo do presente trabalho é mostrar que a censura moral ou estética é um subterfúgio para o principal intuito de toda censura,que é controlar a produção simbólica e impedir a crítica e a dissidência.Isso será feito através da análise dos documentos do processo 268 de censura prévia da peça Ben-Hur, de 1943, que deveria estrearem São Paulo.Finalmente, o quarto objetivo deste texto é mostrar que a extinçãodos órgãos oficiais de censura, a chamadacensura “clássica”, não evitouque outros meios indiretos, plurais, particulares e governamentais continuassem a controlar meios de comunicação e manifestações artísticas, impedindo a livre expressão.

description: The electronic states and magnetic properties for the copper oxides containing edge-sharing Cu-O chains such as Li$_2$CuO$_2$, La$_6$Ca$_8$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$ and CuGeO$_3$ are systematically studied. The optical conductivity $σ(ω)$ and the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility $χ(T)$ for single crystalline samples Li$_2$CuO$_2$ are measured as a reference system and analyzed by using the exact diagonalization method for small Cu-O clusters. It is shown that the spectral distribution of $σ(ω)$ is different between edge-sharing and corner-sharing Cu-O-Cu bonds. The charge transfer gap in edge-sharing chains is larger than that of high-$T_{c}$ cuprates. The exchange interaction between nearest-neighbor copper ions in edge-sharing chains $J_1$ depends sensitively on the Cu-O-Cu bond angles. In addition to $J_1$, the exchange interaction between next-nearest-neighbor copper ions $J_2$ has sufficient contribution to the magnetic properties. We calculate $J_1$ and $J_2$ for all the copper oxides containing edge-sharing Cu-O chains and discuss the magnetic properties.

description: Technologischer Fortschritt gilt als Triebkraft ökonomischer Leistungsfähigkeit. Er führt zu nachhaltigem Wirtschaftswachstum in Form von Produktivitätssteigerungen und zur Entstehung gänzlich neuer Geschäftsmodelle. Gleichzeitig kann er einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur Bewältigung der Klimakrise und anderer gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen leisten.

Der Klimawandel erfordert einen grundlegenden Umbau unserer Wirtschaft, vor allem in den Bereichen Industrie, Energie und Verkehr. Diese Transformation kann aufgrund des hohen Zeitdrucks nicht ohne eine beschleunigte technologische Entwicklung und Innovationen gelingen. Schließlich würde die Verwirklichung der Dekarbonisierungsziele die Kapazitäten ausgereifter Technologien in Deutschland überfordern. So sind für das Erreichen der Klimaziele zunehmend auch Negativemissionen (z.B. durch Kohlendioxidfilter, -abscheidung und -bindung) notwendig. Hierfür braucht man Technologien, die derzeit noch in der Demonstrations- oder Prototypenphase sind. Die Entwicklung und Diffusion von Innovationen im Bereich „Green Tech“ sind entscheidend für den Standortwettbewerb und für den Kampf gegen den Klimawandel.

Aus diesem Grund analysiert die vorliegende Studie die wichtigsten globalen Trends im Bereich der grünen Technologien. Ziel ist es, jene Länder zu identifizieren, die über die besten technologischen Grundlagen verfügen, um z.B. effizientere Photovoltaikzellen, bessere Brennstoffzellen, neue Batterierecycling-Methoden oder marktreife Carbon Capture- bzw. Storage-Anlagen zu entwickeln. Ein besonderer Fokus lag dabei auf Deutschlands Position in den wichtigsten grünen Technologiefeldern.

description: The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system transports folded proteins across energized biological membranes in bacteria, plastids, and plant mitochondria. In Escherichia coli, the three membrane proteins TatA, TatB and TatC associate to enable Tat transport. While TatB and TatC together form complexes that bind Tat-dependently transported proteins, the TatA component is responsible for the permeabilization of the membrane during transport. With wild type Tat systems, the TatB- and TatC-containing Tat complexes TC1 and TC2 can be differentiated. Their TatA content has not been resolved, nor could they be assigned to any step of the translocation mechanism. It is therefore a key question of current Tat research to understand how TatA associates with Tat systems during transport. By analyzing affinity-purified Tat complexes with mutations in TatC that selectively enrich either TC1 or TC2, we now for the first time demonstrate that both Tat complexes associate with TatA, but the larger TC2 recruits significantly more TatA than the smaller TC1. Most TatA co-purified as multimeric clusters. Using site-specific photo cross-linking, we could detect TatA–TatC interactions only near TatC transmembrane helices 5 and 6. Substrate-binding did not change the interacting positions but affected the stability of the interaction, pointing to a substrate-induced conformational transition. Together, our findings indicate that TatA clusters associate with TatBC without being integrated into the complex by major rearrangements. The increased TatA affinity of the larger Tat complex TC2 suggests that functional assembly is advanced in this complex.

description: We study in detail the issue of gauge-fixing in theories with one universal extra dimension, i.e. theories where both bosons and fermions display Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations. The extra dimension is compactified using the standard orbifold construction for a massless chiral fermion. We carry out the gauge-fixing procedure at the level of the five-dimensional theory and determine the tree-level propagators and interaction vertices needed for performing perturbative calculations with the effective four-dimensional theory resulting after the compactification. The gauge-independence of the tree-level S-matrix involving massive KK modes is verified using specific examples. In order to obtain massive fermionic zero modes one has to enlarge the theory by introducing a set of mirror fermions, a construction which is carried out in detail. Finally, the gauge-independence of the tree-level S-matrix involving the resulting new mass-eigenstates is proved by resorting to generalized current conservation equations.

description: The thesis is a sophisticated and non-sectarian Marxist critique of Australian Communism focusing on the period 1963-72 when the Communist Party of Australia, under a new leadership, moved to distance itself from Moscow and its own Stalinist heritage, and attempted to jettison the Stalinist orthodoxy of a ‘two-stage revolution’ by adopting a more relevant and radical strategy and program. The author analyses the strategic concepts adopted by the ‘new-look’ CPA following its Twenty-second National Congress in 1967, in particular the notion of a ‘values revolution’, and concludes that despite a new left radical rhetoric, the gradualist perspective of the old CPA persisted in the CPA's new strategy, albeit in an original guise

description: We present a model treating the kinetics of adsorption of soluble surface-active molecules at the interface between an aqueous solution and another fluid phase. The model accounts for both the diffusive transport inside the solution and the kinetics taking place at the interface using a free-energy formulation. In addition, it offers a general method of calculating dynamic surface tensions. Non-ionic surfactants are shown, in general, to undergo a diffusion-limited adsorption, in accord with experimental findings.

description: We carefully investigate the gravitational perturbation of the Randall-Sundrum (RS) single brane-world solution [hep-th/9906064], based on a covariant curvature tensor formalism recently developed by us. Using this curvature formalism, it is known that the `electric' part of the 5-dimensional Weyl tensor, denoted by $E_{μν}$, gives the leading order correction to the conventional Einstein equations on the brane. We consider the general solution of the perturbation equations for the 5-dimensional Weyl tensor caused by the matter fluctuations on the brane. By analyzing its asymptotic behaviour in the direction of the 5th dimension, we find the curvature invariant diverges as we approach the Cauchy horizon. However, in the limit of asymptotic future in the vicinity of the Cauchy horizon, the curvature invariant falls off fast enough to render the divergence harmless to the brane-world. We also obtain the asymptotic behavior of $E_{μν}$ on the brane at spatial infinity, assuming the matter perturbation is localized. We find it falls off sufficiently fast and will not affect the conserved quantities at spatial infinity. This indicates strongly that the usual conservation law, such as the ADM energy conservation, holds on the brane as far as asymptotically flat spacetimes are concerned.

description: Background: During the pandemic, the interest in colorful wild small fruits increased due to their positive effects on health. Also it has become very important to offer species with high nutritional value as fresh or processed products for human consumption due to increasing world population and decreasing arable land. In this context, we characterized the horticultural characteristics of 11 rosehip genotypes grown from seeds. Results: Citric acid was determined as the main organic acid in all the genotypes investigated. The mean values of the organic acids obtained from all the genotypes were found to be as follows: citric acid (7177 mg L–1), malic acid (3669 mg L–1), tartaric acid (1834 mg L–1), oxalic acid (1258 mg L–1), carboxylic acid (631.9 mg L–1), shikimic acid (157.8 mg L–1), ascorbic acid (155 mg L–1), and acetic acid (20.9 mg L–1). Ellagic acid was the dominant phenolic compound (90.1 mg L–1 – 96.2 mg L–1) in all genotypes. The average values obtained from all genotypes for total phenolics, total flavonoids, and antioxidant activity were 37 261 mg GAE L–1, 526.2 mg quercetin L–1, and 93.6%, respectively. These characteristics had the lowest coefficients of variation, which indicated that all genotypes were similar regarding high biochemical with antioxidant effect. In addition, fruit width, fruit length, and fruit weight varied between 13.0 and 17.3 mm, 20.7 and 25.5 mm, and 1.4 and 2.7 g, respectively. Conclusions: The genotypes were categorized according to different purposes, such as suitability for wine production, making vinegar, etc. While the pomological characteristics were strongly positively correlated among themselves, they were generally found to be negatively correlated with the phytochemical characteristics. Categorizing genotypes according to different usage purposes can improve the agricultural and industrial application of rosehip and enhance their breeding efficacy.
