description: We show exactly that small Hubbard rings exhibit unusual kink-like structures giving anomalous oscillations in persistent current. Singular behavior of persistent current disappears in some cases. In half-filled systems mobility gradually drops to zero with interaction, while it converges to some finite value in non-half-filled cases.

Modified Stokes drift due to surface waves and corrugated sea-floor interactions with and without a mean current
Creators: name: Gupta, Akanksha
name: Guha, Anirban
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we show that Stokes drift may be significantly affected when an incident intermediate or shallow water surface wave travels over a corrugated sea-floor. The underlying mechanism is Bragg resonance -- reflected waves generated via nonlinear resonant interactions between an incident wave and a rippled bottom. We theoretically explain the fundamental effect of two counter-propagating Stokes waves on Stokes drift and then perform numerical simulations of Bragg resonance using High-order Spectral method. A monochromatic incident wave on interaction with a patch of bottom ripple yields a complex interference between the incident and reflected waves. When the velocity induced by the reflected waves exceeds that of the incident, particle trajectories reverse, leading to a backward drift. Lagrangian and Lagrangian-mean trajectories reveal that surface particles near the up-wave side of the patch are either trapped or reflected, implying that the rippled patch acts as a non-surface-invasive particle trap or reflector. On increasing the length and amplitude of the rippled patch; reflection, and thus the effectiveness of the patch, increases. The inclusion of realistic constant current shows noticeable differences between Lagrangian-mean trajectories with and without the rippled patch. Theoretical analysis reveals additional terms in the Stokes drift arising from the particular solution due to mean-current--bottom-ripple interactions, irrespective of whether Bragg resonance condition is met. Our analyses may be useful for designing artificial, corrugated sea-floor patches for mitigating microplastics and other forms of ocean pollution. We also expect that sea-floor corrugations, especially in the nearshore region, may significantly affect oceanic tracer transport.

An Operational Model for Online Language Teaching: The Digital Didactic Unit
Creators: name: La Grassa, Matteo
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

Referring to teaching Italian language online, the general tendency has been to use the same patterns for both face-to-face and e-learning courses. Moreover, teaching Italian online has been considered mainly as scaffolding for teaching Italian in classroom (e.g. in several blended courses). Although many e-learning activities can also be successfully exploited in face-to-face lessons, currently a process of ‘separation’ between the two different teaching/learning contexts is ongoing: these two educational channels have today different status and are bounded by a ‘non-competitive’ correlation. In this framework the need arises to elaborate new operational models suitable for e-learning. This article will present the main characteristics of a model, specifically elaborated to be used in technological learning environment, that we called Digital Didactic Unit.

description: In order to understand the detailed dynamics of systems produced in $pp$ collisions, it is essential to know about the Equation of State (EoS) and various thermodynamic properties. In this work, we study the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio, isothermal compressibility and speed of sound of the system by considering a differential freeze-out scenario. We have used a thermodynamically consistent Tsallis non-extensive statistics to have a better explanation for the dynamics of $pp$ collision systems. While the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio provides information about the measure of fluidity of a system formed in high energy collisions, the isothermal compressibility gives a clear idea about the deviation of the system from a perfect fluid. The speed of sound in the system as a function of $\langle dN_{\rm ch}/dη\rangle$ gives us a vivid picture of the dynamics of the system. The results show quite an intuitive perspective on high multiplicity $pp$ collisions and give us a limit of $\langle dN_{\rm ch}/dη\rangle$ $\gtrsim$ (10 - 20), after which a change in the dynamics of the system may be observed.

title: Mapping Super-Relaxed States of Myosin Heads in Sarcomeres using Oblique Angle Fluorescent Microscopy
Creators: name: Pilagov, Matvey
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: We have utilised modern methods of super-resolution fluorescent microscopy to spatially map fluorescently labelled ATP molecules in relaxed rabbit psoas skeletal muscles. For our imaging process, we have labelled ATP molecules with Rhodamine and Z-lines with Alexa488. Data from imaging these fluorophores have been collected using oblique angle fluorescent microscopy and further analysed to map super relaxed states (SRX) of myosin heads on the thick filament. Our experiments have concluded that most SRX of myosin heads were found in the C-zone of the thick filament, while other zones of thick filament had smaller populations of SRX. Further introduction of mavacamten (MAVA) to our imaging system has revealed an increase in SRX in both D and P zones, while the C zone population of SRX had remained constant. Further experiments must be conducted to establish a clear pattern and further proof our findings.

description:

This article reports on English-Italian code-switching in a Facebook group of university students. The aim of the study is to describe the students’ interactional practices and their alternate use of English and Italian as lingua francas. 773 posts and comments written by 81 members of the group were analysed in a pragmatic and conversational perspective. The study shows that code-switching was ruled by precise norms of interaction and served to manage participant constellations. It also facilitated mutual understanding among students with different degree of language competence, and contributed to the creation of the plurilingual ‘small culture’ of the group.

Enteral Fluid Therapy in Intensive Care Unit Patients at the 1st Medical Department of the Kaiser-Franz-Josef Hospital in Vienna from October 2018 to April 2019 - a retrospective data analysis
Creators: name: Michał Lewandowski
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2020
Subjects: Medicine

description: Background: Even though fluid therapy is an essential intervention in intensive care, the quest for its optimal administration is among the hottest topics in the field. Aim of the study: The aim of this diploma thesis is to provide evidence for the safety of enteral fluid therapy. Materials and Methods: This diploma thesis consists of a retrospective study. The analyzed data were retrieved from 10 patients treated in the medical intensive care unit D of the “Sozialmedizinisches Zentrum Süd” Hospital in Vienna, where enteral fluid therapy has already become part of clinical practice.
Results: The daily regurgitated volume never exceeded 750 mL, the median was 80 mL per patient and day. Regurgitation took place on 53.3% of the days when enteral fluid or enteral nutrition was administered (range 37.5%-72.0% for individual patients).
Conclusions: The enteral fluid therapy did not compromise the safety of patients from a clinical perspective.

description: Quantum coherence quantifies the amount of superposition a quantum state can have in a given basis. Since there is a difference in the structure of eigenstates of the ergodic and many-body localized systems, we expect them also to differ in terms of their coherences in a given basis. Here, we numerically calculate different measures of quantum coherence in the excited eigenstates of an interacting disordered Hamiltonian as a function of the disorder. We show that quantum coherence can be used as an order parameter to detect the well-studied ergodic to many-body-localized phase transition. We also perform quantum quench studies to distinguish the behavior of coherence in thermalized and localized phases. We then present a protocol to calculate measurement-based localizable coherence to investigate the thermal and many-body localized phases. The protocol allows one to investigate quantum correlations experimentally in a non-destructive way, in contrast to measures that require tracing out a subsystem, which always destroys coherence and correlation.

description: Objective To explore the influence of acculturation on the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors toward tobacco use in Latino adults.Methods Data from twenty-four focus groups conducted at four different locations (Chicago, San Diego, Miami, Bronx-New York) were transcribed and uploaded to Atlas.ti. Groups were classified as either high acculturation or low acculturation based on the language spoken during the focus group. English groups were high acculturation while Spanish groups were low acculturation. Mentions of tobacco use in the community and family, tobacco product awareness, tobacco cessation resources, tobacco-related health effects, sources of health information, and second-hand smoke were noted based on acculturation level. Once the review was complete, information collected was compared between acculturation level groups.  Results There were no representative differences between English and Spanish-speaking groups in reference to tobacco product use, tobacco product knowledge, and family influence in starting to use tobacco products. Major differences between groups were seen with English-speaking groups who were more likely to show less perceived risk in regard to tobacco use and second-hand smoke being a problem in the community, while Spanish-speaking groups were more likely to show high-perceived risk related to second-hand smoke and health effects associated to tobacco use.
title: Evidence of Surface Diffusion of Water Molecules on Proteins of Rabbit Lens by ¹H NMR Relaxation Measurements
Creators: name: Bodurka, Jerzy
name: Buntkowsky, Gerd
name: Gutsze, Aleksander
Publisher: name: De Gruyter
Year: 2022

description: In this work, we propose a relaxation model for the interpretation of NMR proton spinlattice and spin-spin relaxation times of mammalian lenses. The framework for this model is based on nuclear magnetic spin-lattice relaxation measurements as a function of temperature at different Larmor frequencies for whole rabbit lenses and fragments of the lens. According to this model, two different dynamic processes of the water molecules determine the relaxation behaviour, namely rotational diffusion and translational surface diffusion. These dynamic processes in conjuction with a two site exchange model give a good explanation of all the measured relaxation data. From the experimental data, we were able to obtain the activation parameters for rotational and translational diffusion of bound lens water. Correlation times of 2.1x10⁻¹¹ sec and 2.5x10⁻⁹ sec and activation energies of 20.5 kJ/mol and 22.5 kJ/mol respectively were found at 308K. At low Larmor frequencies (≤100 MHz) the longitudinal relaxation is mainly determined by translational surface diffusion of bound water with a mean square displacement of 1.5 nm, whereas at higher frequencies (≥300 MHz), rotational diffusion is the main relaxation mechanism. The spin-spin relaxation is determined by translational diffusion over the whole frequency range and therefore shows only a very small dispersion. By our model it is possible to explain: 1) the strikingly large difference between the T₁ value and the T₂A and T₂B values observed in the lens and 2) the different values of the activation energies measured at different fields for the lens.

description: The standard model particles can be gauged in an anomaly free way by three possible gauge symmetries namely ${L_e-L_μ}$, ${L_e-L_τ}$, and ${L_μ-L_τ}$. Of these, ${L_e-L_μ}$ and ${L_e-L_τ}$ forces can mediate between the Sun and the planets and change the perihelion precession of planetary orbits. It is well known that a deviation from the $1/r^2$ Newtonian force can give rise to a perihelion advancement in the planetary orbit, for instance, as in the well known case of Einstein's gravity which was tested from the observation of the perihelion advancement of the Mercury. We consider the long range Yukawa potential which arises between the Sun and the planets if the mass of the gauge boson is $M_{Z^{\prime}}\leq \mathcal{O}(10^{-19})\rm {eV}$. We derive the formula of perihelion advancement for Yukawa type fifth force due to the mediation of such $U(1)_{L_e-L_{μ,τ}}$ gauge bosons. The perihelion advancement for Yukawa potential is proportional to the square of the semi major axis of the orbit for small $M_{Z^{\prime}}$, unlike GR, where it is largest for the nearest planet. However for higher values of $M_{Z^{\prime}}$, an exponential suppression of the perihelion advancement occurs. We take the observational limits for all planets for which the perihelion advancement is measured and we obtain the upper bound on the gauge boson coupling $g$ for all the planets. The Mars gives the stronger bound on $g$ for the mass range $\leq 10^{-19}\rm{eV}$ and we obtain the exclusion plot. This mass range of gauge boson can be a possible candidate of fuzzy dark matter whose effect can therefore be observed in the precession measurement of the planetary orbits.

Chatbots for Action-Oriented Language Learning
Creators: name: Mazzilli, Francesca
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

The aim of this study is to investigate (i) how learners perceive the non-educational chatbot Elbot as a language learning tool in a formal context (university German course), and (ii) to what extent a set of task-oriented interactions with Elbot influences the learners’ behaviour (e.g. lexical choices) during a separate activity. For these purposes, this study outlines a lesson/experiment focused on the enhancement of conflict-solving skills in German as a foreign language. A mixed-methods approach was applied to evaluate Elbot’s contribution to the lesson as well as its impact on the learners’ choice of basic strategies to solve a conflict. The study concludes with the discussion of the advantages of developing an edu-bot based on an existing non-educational chatbot. In this regard, the research also provides some concrete proposals based on the results of the data analysis.

description: We consider a mixed hybrid finite element formulation for coupled poromechanics. A stabilization strategy based on a macro-element approach is advanced to eliminate the spurious pressure modes appearing in undrained/incompressible conditions. The efficient solution of the stabilized mixed hybrid block system is addressed by developing a class of block triangular preconditioners based on a Schur-complement approximation strategy. Robustness, computational efficiency and scalability of the proposed approach are theoretically discussed and tested using challenging benchmark problems on massively parallel architectures.
Development of a Kanji Reference Tool and its Moodle Integration

Year: 2021

description:

Due to the COVID-19 emergency, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice has reorganized a large part of its courses for on-line delivery through the LMS Moodle. Unfortunately, this platform, besides having a particularly complex interface to use, does not have modules dedicated to the teaching of Japanese. Addressing this issue, this paper proposes the design of a module for kanji teaching integrated with the Moodle workflow, to produce complete and printable kanji sheets with all the necessary information, thus reducing teacher workload. The methodology used derives from an Instructional System Design development model (SAM, Successive, Approximation Model) that allows continuous feedback from the teacher, so as to adapt the developed prototype to his/her teaching needs.

description: In an electric field, the flow of electrons in a solid produces an entropy current in addition to the familiar charge current. This Peltier effect underlies all thermoelectric refrigerators. The upsurge in thermoelectric cooling applications has led to a search for more efficient Peltier materials and to renewed theoretical interest in how electron-electron interaction may enhance the thermopower $Q$ of materials such as the transition-metal oxides \cite{Mahan,Beni,Kotliar,Chaikin}. An important factor in this enhancement is the electronic spin entropy, which is predicted \cite{Chaikin,Kwak,KwakChaikin} to dominate the entropy current. Here we report evidence for such suppression in the layered oxide $\rm Na_xCo_2O_4$, and present evidence that it is a strong-correlation effect.

description: Shape changes resulting from segmental flexibility are ubiquitous in molecular and biological systems, and are expected to affect both the diffusive motion and (biological) function of dispersed objects. The recent development of colloidal structures with freely-jointed bonds have now made a direct experimental investigation of diffusive shape-changing objects possible. Here, we show the effect of segmental flexibility on the simplest possible model system, a freely-jointed cluster of three spherical particles, and validate long-standing theoretical predictions. We find that in addition to the rotational diffusion time, an analogous conformational diffusion time governs the relaxation of the diffusive motion, unique to flexible assemblies, and that their translational diffusivity differs by a small but measurable amount. We also uncovered a Brownian quasiscallop mode, where diffusive motion is coupled to Brownian shape changes. Our findings could have implications for molecular and biological systems where diffusion plays an important role, such as functional site availability in lock-and-key protein interactions.

AbstractThe orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) formulation of rimegepant (NURTEC ODT®) is a small molecule, highly-selective, calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonist that was developed by Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd as an acute treatment for migraine. A conventional tablet formulation of the drug is being investigated for the acute treatment (under FDA review in the USA) and prevention of migraine and the treatment of refractory trigeminal neuralgia. In February 2020, rimegepant ODT received its first global approval in the USA for the acute treatment of migraine (± aura) in adults. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of rimegepant leading to its first global approval for acute treatment of migraine (± aura) in adults

Urban forestry management plan : recommendations for the University of British Columbia Vancouver campus
Creators: name: Lompart, Jessica
name: Ikeda, Thomas
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The University of British Columbia (UBC) Vancouver campus has a green reputation. It is located within the Pacific Northwest on the lower mainland of British Columbia within the Coastal Western Hemlock Biogeoclimatic zone. The Vancouver campus’s landscape was originally designed around the idea of “a clearing in the forest”. However, based on interviews with members of the campus community, we noticed that an interest for integrating the forest into campus has emerged. As such, UBC now faces the challenge of balancing its urban forest values and resources, development pressures, and an ever-increasing student body. The original objective of the project was to review tree retention and protection policies currently in place and provide recommendations to improve them. The need for this was based on significant loss of UBC’s urban forest due to development all around campus (Sutherland, 2012). However, based on an analysis of current guidelines and best practices, it was identified that UBC needs a complete urban forest management plan to adequately protect and replace its trees. As such, the scope of this report expanded to provide recommendations to strengthen the implementation and enforcement of tree policies and procedures at the UBC Vancouver campus. In doing so, this report seeks to maintain and improve UBC’s current urban forest and reflect the values and needs of campus stakeholders. The recommendations were based on an analysis of current plans and guidelines for the UBC campus, interviews with key actors involved with urban forestry on campus, and an analysis of urban forestry management plans of other major municipalities and university campuses. Five main recommendations were outlined: 1. Improve implementation and enforcement of urban forest management policies and guidelines 2. Maintain and improve distribution and cohesivity of the campus urban forest 3. Incorporate aesthetics management into urban forest management as a part of campus landscape design 4. Empower the campus community in urban forest management on campus and facilitate community involvement in its governance 5. Take into consideration potential future challenges and opportunities (including the effects of climate change and future development projects on campus) into urban forest management and create achievable, guiding long-term goals for campus’s urban forest Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

Faster Background Determination - a method for gaining time coverage and flux measurement accuracy with Cherenkov telescopes
Creators: name: Petry, Dirk
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An improved way of taking off-source data for background determination in Cherenkov telescope observations is proposed. Generalizing the traditional concept of taking on-source/off-source observations of equal duration (e.g. 30 minutes ON followed by 30 minutes OFF), Faster Background Determination (FBD) permits an off-source observation with the same zenith angle distribution as the on-source observation to be obtained within less time. The method permits the on-source observation time to be maximized without compromising the quality of the background determination. It also increases the signal significance for strong sources. The only modification necessary in the data acquisition is a small change to the tracking algorithm. The only modification necessary in the data analysis is to introduce a time normalization which does not increase the systematic errors. The method could become the normal observing mode for Cherenkov telescopes when observing strong sources.

Quasi-shadowing for partially hyperbolic dynamics on Banach spaces
Creators: name: Backes, Lucas

Year: 2020

description: A partially hyperbolic dynamical system is said to have the quasi-shadowing property if every pseudotrajectory can be shadowed by a sequence of points $(x_n)_{n\in \Z}$ such that $x_{n+1}$ is obtained from the image of $x_n$ by moving it by a small factor in the central direction. In the present paper, we prove that a small nonlinear perturbation of a partially dichotomic sequence of (not necessarily invertible) linear operators acting on an arbitrary Banach space has the quasi-shadowing property. We also get obtain a continuous time version of this result. As an application of our main result, we prove that a certain class of partially dichotomic sequences of linear operators is stable up to the movement in the central direction.

description: We investigate transverse hadron spectra from relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions which reflect important aspects of the dynamics - such as the generation of pressure - in the hot and dense zone formed in the early phase of the reaction. Our analysis is performed within two independent transport approaches (HSD and UrQMD) that are based on quark, diquark, string and hadronic degrees of freedom. Both transport models show their reliability for elementary $pp$ as well as light-ion (C+C, Si+Si) reactions. However, for central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions at bombarding energies above $\sim$ 5 A$\cdot$GeV the measured $K^{\pm}$ transverse mass spectra have a larger inverse slope parameter than expected from the calculation. Thus the pressure generated by hadronic interactions in the transport models above $\sim$ 5 A$\cdot$GeV is lower than observed in the experimental data. This finding shows that the additional pressure - as expected from lattice QCD calculations at finite quark chemical potential and temperature - is generated by strong partonic interactions in the early phase of central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions.

description: In this talk we report on how, using a chiral unitary approach for the meson--baryon interactions, two octets of $J^π=1/2^-$ baryon states and a singlet are generated dynamically, resulting in the case of strangeness $S=-1$ in two poles of the scattering matrix close to the nominal $Λ(1405)$ resonance. We suggest experiments which could show evidence for the existence of these states.

description: Background: Even though fluid therapy is an essential intervention in intensive care, the quest for its optimal administration is among the hottest topics in the field. Aim of the study: The aim of this diploma thesis is to provide evidence for the safety of enteral fluid therapy. Materials and Methods: This diploma thesis consists of a retrospective study. The analyzed data were retrieved from 10 patients treated in the medical intensive care unit D of the “Sozialmedizinisches Zentrum Süd” Hospital in Vienna, where enteral fluid therapy has already become part of clinical practice.
Results: The daily regurgitated volume never exceeded 750 mL, the median was 80 mL per patient and day. Regurgitation took place on 53.3% of the days when enteral fluid or enteral nutrition was administered (range 37.5%-72.0% for individual patients).
Conclusions: The enteral fluid therapy did not compromise the safety of patients from a clinical perspective.
