description: COVID-19 extended through 2020 with impact on all hospital services. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of orthoptic service provision during the initial recovery period from July to September 2020 in the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands. We conducted a prospective survey-based cross-sectional study using an online survey aiming for coverage of orthoptic departments across the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands. The survey sought to gather data on orthoptic practice during the COVID-19 pandemic period between the first and second waves in the UK. Questions included within the survey asked about the impact on services paused or reduced during the pandemic, the reinstatement of services, backlog of appointments, changes to arrangement and conduct of appointments, changes to working practice, impact to lives of orthoptists, and access by orthoptists to professional support and guidelines. We circulated the online survey through the British and Irish Orthoptic Society that reaches over 95% of UK and Irish orthoptic services and through social media and orthoptic research networks. This survey was open from July 1st to September 30th 2020 and achieved a response rate from orthoptic departments of 85%. A high rate (92%) of teleconsultations continued with 50% of departments using a proforma to guide the teleconsultation and with added use of risk assessment for patient appointments. To enable reopening of clinics, multiple changes were made for patient and staff flow through clinic areas. Reduced clinical capacity was confirmed by 76.5% of departments. Appointments averaged 15–20 minutes and there was routine use of PPE and cleaning and adoption of staggered appointments with added evening/weekend clinics. There was increased use of information resources/leaflets for patients and dependence on professional and health care guidance documents. The average backlog for patient appointments had increased to 26 weeks. The initial UK and Irish recovery phase in summer 2020 allowed a glimpse at adjustments needed to reopen orthoptic clinics for in-person appointments. Teleconsultation remained in frequent use but with greater risk assessment and triage to identify those requiring in-person appointments.

description: This paper uses a unique dataset to analyse the migration dynamics of refugees, returnees and, internally displaced people from the Northern Mali conflict. Individuals were interviewed monthly using mobile phones. Our results cast light on the characteristics of these three groups before and after displacement. In addition, we test how employment and security were related to migration status, as well as the willingness to go back home. Individuals who were employed while displaced were less willing to go back to the North, while those who owned a gun were more likely to plan to go back. Additional indicators of personal safety played a lesser role.

description: We calculate the vacuum expectation value of the stress-energy tensor for a quantised bulk scalar field in the Randall-Sundrum model, and discuss the consequences of its local behaviour for the self-consistency of the model. We find that, in general, the stress-energy tensor diverges in the vicinity of the branes. Our main conclusion is that the stress-energy tensor is sufficiently complicated that it has implications for the effective potential, or radion stabilisation, methods that have so far been used.

(Figs 6, 20)
 Type-material. Holotype: ♂, “ China, NW. Yunnan | Nu Jiang valley | Fugong / Gongshan | H- 1800 m | N 27˚18.24`` | E 98˚53.20`` | 17.v.2018 | Butvila & Saldaitis [leg.] (genital slide № CAS-20-03, WIGJ). Paratype: 1♂, same data as holotype (CAFM).
 Description. Male. Forewing length 12.0–13.0 mm (Fig. 6). Antenna shortly unipectinate. Ground color ochre. Forewings with pattern typical of the genus. Hindwings dark greyish brown, with lighter fringe and bright yellow dorsal margin.
 Abdomen. Male sternite VIII has a pair of digitiform processes, slightly pointed, with tips bending outwards.
 Genitalia. Uncus with lateral expansions (uncus looks like trifid) and apical spur (Fig. 20). Gnathos with two narrow long lateral processes curved at right angle apically, with the left one bearing a weak papilla-shaped medial process (Fig. 20, this process is shown by arrow). Valvae elongated, without well-defined sacculus and lacking saccular processes. Juxta flattened, with apical notch. Aedeagus slightly spiraled, narrow and with a strongly sclerotized apical spur.
 Female. Unknown.
 Diagnosis. The species is similar to its congeners with the exception of Sansarea formosana Solovyev, 2017 known from Taiwan, which is much darker in coloration. The new species differs from its congeners (Figs 21–24) by the gnathos showing two strong lateral lobes curved apically at right angle, with the left one bearing a weak papilla-shaped medial process, and by the processes of sternite VIII digitiform, slightly pointed, and with tips bending outwards.
 The male genitalia are mostly similar to those of Sansarea grata Solovyev & Witt, 2009 (Fig. 22) and S. zeta Solovyev & Witt, 2009 (Fig. 23). However, in S. alenae sp. nov., the long lateral processes of the gnathos are curved at a right angle apically, the apical processes of the gnathos are at least 2/3 the length of the lateral ones, and the processes of sternite VIII are more separated and smaller, with the length not exceeded a half distance between these processes.
 Distribution. China (Yunnan).
 Phenology and habitat. Two males were collected at ultraviolet light in middle May at an altitude of approximately 1,800 m asl in primary mountains mixed forest, dominated by various deciduous trees, bamboo and shrubs (Figs 34, 35).
 Etymology. The species is named in honor of Alena Kazakevich (Lida, Belarus), for her deep understanding and support of the entomological activities of the second author.

description: This paper examines the association between stored drinking water quality and sanitation on diarrhoea incidence among under-five children in Ethiopia. Using primary household survey data and microbiological water quality testing for Escherichia coli, our results show that uncontaminated stored drinking water and safe child stool disposal are associated with decreased child diarrhoea incidences of 18 and 20 percentage points, respectively. In contrast, neighbourhood concentration of pit latrine shows an increased incidence of child diarrhoea of 16 percentage points. To protect rural children from the risk of contracting diarrhoea, improving household drinking water quality and changing people’s behaviour towards safe sanitation practices is needed.

description: The Seebeck coefficient of a metal is expected to display a linear temperature-dependence in the zero-temperature limit. To attain this regime, it is often necessary to cool the system well below 1K. We put under scrutiny the magnitude of this term in different families of strongly-interacting electronic systems. For a wide range of compounds (including heavy-fermion, organic and various oxide families) a remarkable correlation between this term and the electronic specific heat is found. We argue that a dimensionless ratio relating these two signatures of mass renormalisation contains interesting information about the ground state of each system. The absolute value of this ratio remains close to unity in a wide range of strongly-correlated electron systems.

Nonlinear Stability Analysis of Transitional Flows using Quadratic Constraints

description: The dynamics of transitional flows are governed by an interplay between the non-normal linear dynamics and quadratic nonlinearity in the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In this work, we propose a framework for nonlinear stability analysis that exploits the fact that nonlinear flow interactions are constrained by the physics encoded in the nonlinearity. In particular, we show that nonlinear stability analysis problems can be posed as convex feasibility and optimization problems based on Lyapunov matrix inequalities, and a set of quadratic constraints that represent the nonlinear flow physics. The proposed framework can be used to conduct global stability, local stability, and transient energy growth analysis. The approach is demonstrated on the low-dimensional Waleffe-Kim-Hamilton model of transition and sustained turbulence. Our analysis correctly determines the critical Reynolds number for global instability. For local stability analysis, we show that the framework can estimate the size of the region of attraction as well as the amplitude of the largest permissible perturbation such that all trajectories converge back to the equilibrium point. Additionally, we show that the framework can predict bounds on the maximum transient energy growth. Finally, we show that careful analysis of the multipliers used to enforce the quadratic constraints can be used to extract dominant nonlinear flow interactions that drive the dynamics and associated instabilities.

description: In February 2014 Time magazine announced to the world that the first quantum computer had been put in use. One key component of this computer is the Josephson-junction, a superconducting device, based on completely different scientific and technological principles with respect to semiconductors. The origin of superconductors dates back to the 1960s, to a large-scale 20-year long IBM project aimed at building ultrafast computers. We present a detailed study of the relationship between Science and Technology making use of the theoretical tools of presumptive anomaly and technological paradigms: superconductors were developed whilst the semiconductors revolution was in full swing. We adopt a historiographical approach - using a snowballing technique to sift through the relevant literature from various epistemological domains and technical publications - to extract theoretically robust insights from a narrative which concerns great scientific advancements, technological leaps forward and business-driven innovation. The study we present shows how technological advancements, business dynamics and policy intertwine.

Multi-fixed point numerical conformal bootstrap: a case study with structured global symmetry

description: In large part, the future utility of modern numerical conformal bootstrap depends on its ability to accurately predict the existence of hitherto unknown non-trivial conformal field theories (CFTs). Here we investigate the extent to which this is possible in the case where the global symmetry group has a product structure. We do this by testing for signatures of fixed points using a mixed-correlator bootstrap calculation with a minimal set of input assumptions. This 'semi-blind' approach contrasts with other approaches for probing more complicated groups, which 'target' known theories with additional spectral assumptions or use the saturation of the single-correlator bootstrap bound as a starting point. As a case study, we select the space of CFTs with product-group symmetry $O(15)\otimes{O}(3)$ in $d=3$ dimensions. On the assumption that there is only one relevant scalar ($\ell=0$) singlet operator in the theory, we find a single 'allowed' region in our chosen space of scaling dimensions. The scaling dimensions corresponding to two known large-$N$ critical theories, the Heisenberg and the chiral ones, lie on or very near the boundary of this region. The large-$N$ antichiral point lies well outside the 'allowed' region, which is consistent with the expectation that the antichiral theory is unstable, and thus has an additional relevant scalar singlet operator. We also find a sharp kink in the boundary of the 'allowed' region at values of the scaling dimensions that do not correspond to the $(N,M)=(15,3)$ instance of any large-$N$-predicted $O(N) \otimes O(M)$ critical theory.

description: In the framework of superfield approach to Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism, the derivation of the (anti-)BRST nilpotent symmetries for the matter fields, present in any arbitrary interacting gauge theory, has been a long-standing problem. In our present investigation, the local, covariant, continuous and off-shell nilpotent (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations for the Dirac fields $(ψ, \barψ)$ are derived in the framework of the augmented superfield formulation where the four $(3 + 1)$-dimensional (4D) interacting non-Abelian gauge theory is considered on the six $(4 + 2)$-dimensional supermanifold parametrized by the four even spacetime coordinates $x^μ$ and a couple of odd elements ($θ$ and $\barθ$) of the Grassmann algebra. The requirement of the invariance of the matter (super)currents and the horizontality condition on the (super)manifolds leads to the derivation of the nilpotent symmetries for the matter fields as well as the gauge- and the (anti-)ghost fields of the theory in the general scheme of the augmented superfield formalism.

description: Crop wild relatives (CWR) represent valuable sources of traits that can enhance the abiotic and biotic stress tolerance of crops. Due to climate change and expansion of land use, they may suffer from population decline, which increases the risk of losing these resources. The in situ conservation of CWR is receiving growing attention to preserve their intraspecific diversity. In contrast to the safeguarding of seeds ex situ, the preservation of taxa in their natural habitat facilitates the development of new adaptations to changing environmental conditions. However, studies aiming at the establishment of their in situ conservation are rare. Therefore, we identified and genotyped Helosciadium nodiflorum occurrences in Germany. Helosciadium nodiflorum is an endangered CWR of cultivated celery ( Apium graveolens ). For 20 occurrences the number of individuals, the number of sexually reproducing individuals, and potential threats were recorded. Genetic differences were examined using 17 newly developed simple sequence repeats (SSR). Population genetic analyses, like the inference of the compositional genetic differentiation, of population structure, and a Discriminant Analysis of Principal Components were conducted. The analyses revealed that most occurrences were genetically distinct. Geographically closely located populations are often also genetically more similar. Several populations revealed a composite genome indicative of hybridizations between distinct populations. Populations that experienced fixation were also identified. Based on the genetic diversity, the location in different ecogeographic units, and the support of local stakeholders, we recommend the establishment of 15 genetic reserves for H. nodiflorum in Germany.

description: The effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on neurobiological mechanisms underlying executive function in the human brain remains elusive. This study aims at examining the effect of anodal and cathodal tDCS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in comparison with sham stimulation on resting-state connectivity as well as functional activation and working memory performance. We hypothesized perturbed fronto-parietal resting-state connectivity during stimulation and altered working memory performance combined with modified functional working memory-related activation. We applied tDCS with 1 mA for 21 min over the DLPFC inside an fMRI scanner. During stimulation, resting-state fMRI was acquired and task-dependent fMRI during working memory task performance was acquired directly after stimulation. N  = 36 healthy subjects were studied in a within-subject design with three different experimental conditions (anodal, cathodal and sham) in a double-blind design. Seed-based functional connectivity analyses and dynamic causal modeling were conducted for the resting-state fMRI data. We found a significant stimulation by region interaction in the seed-based ROI-to-ROI resting-state connectivity, but no effect on effective connectivity. We also did not find an effect of stimulation on task-dependent signal alterations in working memory activation in our regions of interest and no effect on working memory performance parameters. We found effects on measures of seed-based resting-state connectivity, while measures of effective connectivity and task-based connectivity did not show any stimulation effect. We could not replicate previous findings of tDCS stimulation effects on behavioral outcomes. We critically discuss possible methodological limitations and implications for future studies.
Isoscaling Studies of Fission - a Sensitive Probe into the Dynamics of Scission

description: The fragment yield ratios were investigated in the fission of 238,233U targets induced by 14 MeV neutrons. The isoscaling behavior was typically observed for the isotopic chains of fragments ranging from the proton-rich to the most neutron-rich ones. The observed high sensitivity of neutron-rich heavy fragments to the target neutron content suggests fission as a source of neutron-rich heavy nuclei for present and future rare ion beam facilities, allowing studies of nuclear properties towards the neutron drip-line and investigations of the conditions for nucleosynthesis of heavy nuclei. The breakdowns of the isoscaling behavior around N=62 and N=80 manifest the effect of two shell closures on the dynamics of scission. The shell closure around N=64 can be explained by the deformed shell. The investigation of isoscaling in the spontaneous fission of 248,244Cm further supports such conclusion. The Z-dependence of the isoscaling parameter exhibits a structure which can be possibly related to details of scission dynamics. The fission isoscaling studies can be a suitable tool for the investigation of possible new pathways to synthesize still heavier nuclei.

description: In this paper, we discuss the characteristic features of one-dimensional topological insulators with inversion symmetry but noncentered inversion axis in the unit cell, for any choice of the unit cell. In these systems, the global inversion operation generates a k-dependent inversion operator within the unit cell and this implies a nonquantized Zak's phase both for the trivial and nontrivial topological phases. By relating the Zak's phase with the eigenvalues of modified parity operators at the inversion invariant momenta, a corrected quantized form of the Zak's phase is derived. We show that finite energy topological edge states of this family of chains are symmetry protected not by usual chiral symmetry but by a hidden sublattice chiral-like symmetry. A simple justification is presented for shifts in the polarization quantization relation for any choice of endings of these chains.

description: We present the results of flux density, spectral index, and polarization intra-night monitoring studies of a sample of eight optically bright blazars, carried out by employing several small to moderate aperture (0.4\,m to 1.5\,m diameter) telescopes fitted with CCDs and polarimeters located in Europe, India, and Japan. The duty cycle of flux variability for the targets is found to be $\sim 45$ percent, similar to that reported in earlier studies. The computed two-point spectral indices are found to be between 0.65 to 1.87 for our sample, comprised of low- and intermediate frequency peaked blazars, with one exception; they are also found to be statistically variable for about half the instances where `confirmed' variability is detected in flux density. In the analysis of the spectral evolution of the targets on hourly timescale, a counter-clockwise loop (soft-lagging) is noted in the flux-spectral index plane on two occasions, and in one case a clear spectral flattening with the decreasing flux is observed. In our data set, we also observe a variety of flux-polarization degree variability patterns, including instances with a relatively straightforward anti-correlation, correlation, or counter-clockwise looping. These changes are typically reflected in the flux-polarization angle plane: the anti-correlation between the flux and polarization degree is accompanied by an anti-correlation between the polarization angle and flux, while the counter-clockwise flux-PD looping behaviour is accompanied by a clockwise looping in the flux-polarization angle representation. We discuss our findings in the framework of the internal shock scenario for blazar sources.

description: Donor country publics typically know little about how much aid their governments give. This paper reports on three experiments conducted in Australia designed to study whether providing accurate information on government giving changes people’s views about aid. Treating participants by showing them how little Australia gives or by showing declining generosity has little effect. However, contrasting Australian aid cuts with increases in the United Kingdom raises support for aid substantially. Motivated reasoning likely explains the broad absence of findings in the first two treatments. Concern with international norms and perceptions likely explains the efficacy of the third treatment.

description: An optical buffer having a large delay-bandwidth-product -- a critical component for future all-optical communications networks -- remains elusive. Central to its realization is a controllable inline optical delay line, previously accomplished via engineered dispersion in optical materials or photonic structures constrained by a low delay-bandwidth product. Here we show that space-time wave packets whose group velocity in free space is continuously tunable provide a versatile platform for constructing inline optical delay lines. By spatio-temporal spectral-phase-modulation, wave packets in the same or in different spectral windows that initially overlap in space and time subsequently separate by multiple pulse widths upon free propagation by virtue of their different group velocities. Delay-bandwidth products of ~100 for pulses of width ~1 ps are observed, with no fundamental limit on the system bandwidth.
Velocity-Enhanced Decoherence: Expanding Zurek's Framework for the  Quantum-to-Classical Transition
Creators: name: arrabal, humberto

description: The quantum-to-classical transition, a key topic in quantum mechanics, has traditionally been explainedthrough the theory of decoherence, which describes how quantum systems lose coherence due to environmental interactions, leading to classical behavior. Wojciech Zurek's decoherence theory (2003) has been pivotal in this understanding, focusing on environmental factors that cause this transition. This thesis introduces an additional, under-researched factor: particle velocity. It proposes that velocity accelerates decoherence, thus hastening the quantum-to-classical transition.The core contribution of this thesis is the introduction of the Arrabal Critical Velocity, a theoretical threshold at which quantum coherence rapidly collapses into classical behavior. By modifying Zurek’s original decoherence formula to incorporate velocity, this thesis presents a new model where high velocities enhance the rate of decoherence, offering a more comprehensive explanation of the quantumto-classical transition. The modified equation integrates both environmental interactions and particle velocity, providing insights that are applicable to high-energy physics experiments and cosmological models, particularly during the early stages of the universe.Experimental validation using particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, is proposed, where high-energy particles approach velocities near the critical velocity. The model’s implications for both quantum mechanics and cosmology are discussed, with special emphasis on how high-velocity particles may have contributed to the early universe's rapid decoherence and classical structure formation.

description: Additional file 4: Figure S4. Splice signals in the pre-gag region. Panel A: 5′ and 3′ ends of HERV-W pre-gag regions display striking similarities with sequences of splice donor (SD) and splice acceptor (SA) sites. A multiple sequence alignment of HERV-W loci lacking the pre-gag region and HERV-W consensus sequences harboring the pre-gag region is shown. Note that only relevant 5′ and 3′ parts of the pre-gag region are depicted. Sequence logos depicting sequence conservation of SD and SA sites are shown. Note the similarities with sequences included in the multiple sequence alignment, supporting the idea that the pre-gag 5′ and 3′ ends represent intron ends. Panel B: further comparison of conserved splice signal sequences with HERV-W sequences identified in [14]. SD = splice donor site, B = branch site, SA = splice acceptor site, pu = purine, py = pyrimidine. Sequence logos indicate the frequency of each particular nucleotide among proviral sequences. Numbers at the bottom indicate the number of proviral sequences, among the ones with the pre-gag region, having the particular nucleotide.

description: Invariance under finite conformal transformations in Minkowski space and the Wightman axioms imply strong locality (Huygens principle) and rationality of correlation functions, thus providing an extension of the concept of vertex algebra to higher dimensions. Gibbs (finite temperature) expectation values appear as elliptic functions in the conformal time. We survey and further pursue our program of constructing a globally conformal invariant model of a hermitean scalar field L of scale dimension four in Minkowski space-time which can be interpreted as the Lagrangian density of a gauge field theory.

description: In this study, we examine the effect of interview observation on data quality of a large-scale individual survey in Vietnam. External spot-check teams were sent to randomly selected enumeration areas to attend and observe survey training courses and field interviews of interviewers. We find that interviewers have a lower number of item non-responses in collected data when being observed by the spot-check teams. The effect of a spot-check of field interviews appears to be higher than the effect of a spot-check of training courses. However, we do not find a significant effect of a spot-check threat: informing interviewers of a possible spot-check without actually visiting does not reduce item non-responses.

Complex emission patterns: fluctuations and bistability of polar-cap potentials

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Development of the ion-proton pulsar model extends it to the limit of large unscreened polar-cap potentials, for example, as in the Vela pulsar, in which ion charges differ only by small increments from their complete screening values. It is shown that the atomic number Z of an ion following its passage from the canonical Z_0 = 26 value through the electromagnetic shower region to the surface is not necessarily time-independent but can vary between fixed limits in an irregular or quasi-periodic way in a characteristic time of the order of 10^4 s. Thus at a certain Z the system may transition to an unstable state of higher electric potential and it is argued that this is the physical basis for mode-changes, long-term nulls, periodic or otherwise. The model requires an orientation of magnetic dipole moment relative to rotational spin giving a positive corotational charge density. Success of the model would fix the particle composition of the remaining parts of the magnetosphere, including the Y-point and is therefore relevant to X-ray and gamma-ray emission processes.

description: High fidelity pressure measurements in the zero temperature limit provide a unique opportunity to study the behavior of strongly interacting, itinerant electrons with coupled spin and charge degrees of freedom. Approaching the exactitude that has become the hallmark of experiments on classical critical phenomena, we characterize the quantum critical behavior of the model, elemental antiferromagnet chromium, lightly doped with vanadium. We resolve the sharp doubling of the Hall coefficient at the quantum critical point and trace the dominating effects of quantum fluctuations up to surprisingly high temperatures.

On derivatives of the energy with respect to total electron number and orbital occupation numbers. A critique of Janak's theorem

description: The relation between the derivative of the energy with respect to occupation number and the orbital energy, $\partial E/\partial n_i = ε_i$, was first introduced by Slater for approximate total energy expressions such as Hartree-Fock and exchange-only LDA, and his derivation holds for hybrid functionals as well. We argue that Janak's extension of this relation to (exact) Kohn-Sham density functional theory is not valid. The reason is the nonexistence of systems with noninteger electron number, and therefore of the derivative of the total energy with respect to electron number, $\partial E/\partial N$. How to handle the lack of a defined derivative $\partial E/\partial N$ at the integer point, is demonstrated using the Lagrange multiplier technique to enforce constraints. The well-known straight-line behavior of the energy as derived from statistical physical considerations [J.P. Perdew, R. G. Parr, M. Levy and J.J. Balduz, Phys. Rev. Lett. 49, 1691 (1982)] for the average energy of a molecule in a macroscopic sample ("dilute gas") as a function of average electron number is not a property of a single molecule at $T=0$. One may choose to represent the energy of a molecule in the nonphysical domain of noninteger densities by a straight-line functional, but the arbitrariness of this choice precludes the drawing of physical conclusions from it.
