description: We perform a systematic assessment of models for the equation of state (EOS) of dense matter in the context of recent neutron star mass and radius measurements to obtain a broad picture of the structure of neutron stars. We demonstrate that currently available neutron star mass and radius measurements provide strong constraints on moments of inertia, tidal deformabilities, and crust thicknesses. A measurement of the moment of inertia of PSR J0737-3039A with 10% error, without any other information from observations, will constrain the EOS over a range of densities to within 50%$-$60%. We find tidal deformabilities between 0.6 and $6\times 10^{36}$ g cm$^{2}$ s$^{2}$ (to 95% confidence) for $M=1.4~\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$, and any measurement which constrains this range will provide an important constraint on dense matter. The crustal fraction of the moment of inertia can be as large as 10% for $M=1.4~\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$ permitting crusts to have a large enough moment of inertia reservoir to explain glitches in the Vela pulsar even with a large amount of superfluid entrainment. Finally, due to the uncertainty in the equation of state, there is at least a 40% variation in the thickness of the crust for a fixed mass and radius, which implies that future simulations of the cooling of a neutron star crust which has been heated by accretion will need to take this variation into account.

description: We present a variational formulation for the evolution of surface clusters in R3 by mean curvature flow, surface diffusion and their anisotropic variants. We introduce the triple junction line conditions that are induced by the considered gradient flows, and present weak formulations of these flows. In addition, we consider the case where a subset of the boundaries of these clusters are constrained to lie on an external boundary. These formulations lead to unconditionally stable, fully discrete, parametric finite element approximations. The resulting schemes have very good properties with respect to the distribution of mesh points and, if applicable, volume conservation. This is demonstrated by several numerical experiments, including isotropic double, triple and quadruple bubbles, as well as clusters evolving under anisotropic mean curvature flow and anisotropic surface diffusion, including for regularized crystalline surface energy densities.

description: According to the Einstein hole argument, vacuum metric solutions are equivalent only if they correspond to the same energy--momentum tensor in the source region. In this paper it is shown that singular coordinates that are used to show Schwarzschild geodesics completeness, introduce the fictive delta-like sources at the horizon. Then, metric tensors obtained by such singular transformations, cannot be considered as solutions of the same Einstein equations with the central source.

description: We propose a density functional theory of Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-von Weizsäcker type to describe the response of a single layer of graphene resting on a dielectric substrate to a point charge or a collection of charges some distance away from the layer. We formulate a variational setting in which the proposed energy functional admits minimizers, both in the case of free graphene layers and under back-gating. We further provide conditions under which those minimizers are unique and correspond to configurations consisting of inhomogeneous density profiles of charge carrier of only one type. The associated Euler-Lagrange equation for the charge density is also obtained, and uniqueness, regularity and decay of the minimizers are proved under general conditions. In addition, a bifurcation from zero to non-zero response at a finite threshold value of the external charge is proved.

A complete cosmic scenario from inflation to late time acceleration: Non-equilibrium thermodynamics in the context of particle creation
Creators: name: Chakraborty, Subenoy
name: Saha, Subhajit
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The paper deals with the mechanism of particle creation in the framework of irreversible thermodynamics. The second order non-equilibrium thermodynamical prescription of Israel and Stewart has been presented with particle creation rate, treated as the dissipative effect. In the background of a flat FRW model, we assume the non-equilibrium thermodynamical process to be isentropic so that the entropy per particle does not change and consequently the dissipative pressure can be expressed linearly in terms of the particle creation rate. Here the dissipative pressure behaves as a dynamical variable having a non-linear inhomogeneous evolution equation and the entropy flow vector satisfies the second law of thermodynamics. Further, using the Friedmann equations and by proper choice of the particle creation rate as a function of the Hubble parameter, it is possible to show (separately) a transition from the inflationary phase to the radiation era and also from matter dominated era to late time acceleration. Also, in analogy to analytic continuation, it is possible to show a continuous cosmic evolution from inflation to late time acceleration by adjusting the parameters. It is found that in the de Sitter phase, the comoving entropy increases exponentially with time, keeping entropy per particle unchanged. Subsequently, the above cosmological scenarios has been described from field theoretic point of view by introducing a scalar field having self interacting potential. Finally, we make an attempt to show the cosmological phenomenon of particle creation as Hawking radiation, particularly during the inflationary era.

Penetration depth scaling for impact into wet granular packings

description: We present experimental measurements of penetration depths for the impact of spheres into wetted granular media. We observe that the penetration depth in the liquid saturated case scales with projectile density, size, and drop height in a fashion consistent with the scaling observed in the dry case, but that penetration depths into saturated packings tend to be smaller. This result suggests that, for the range of impact energies observed, the stopping force is set by static contact forces between grains within the bed, and that the presence of liquid serves, primarily, to enhance these contact forces. The enhancement to the stopping force has a complicated dependence on liquid fraction, accompanied by a change in the drop-height dependence, that must be the consequence of accompanying changes in the conformation of the liquid phase in the interstices.

description: Introduction:Risky sexual behaviors are any practices that increase the probability of adverse

sexual and reproductive health.Most college adolescent and young aged 15–24 years are at

particularly high risky sexual practices and often characterized by anew-found sense selfgovernment,

experimentation with sex and a feeling of invincibility.

Objective:To compare the magnitude of risky sexual practices and associated factors among

day/regular and evening/extension shift of polytechnic college students in Addis Ababa with the

case of Nifassilk polytechnic college.

Method and material: A comparative cross sectional study was conducted from March 27-

April 15, 2019. A stratified sampling technique was used based on type of schooling (day and

evening time) and then, allocation of sample was proportionally distributed torespected study

levels based on number of students. Study participants were selected using simple random

sampling technique. Two population proportion formulas were used to calculate a total sample

size of 486 students (243 day/regular and 243 night/extension students). Data was summarized

using descriptive statistics including mean, proportion and standard deviation and inferential

statistics such as chi-square test and binomial logistic regression. Ethical clearance was obtained

A Radial distribution profile of 7b-TM in C14SB at 28000 rpm (red circles), 34500 rpm (green circles), and 42000 rpm (blue circles). The presence of TCEP is indicated in the respective panels. Best-fit self-association models are overlaid as solid lines in the upper panels and the fitting residuals are shown in the lower panels. Best-fit model for 7b-TM without TCEP was a dimer-tetramer whereas with TCEP it was a monomer-dimer; B The same as A for SARS1 7b, where the best-fit model was a monomer-dimer-tetramer with or without TCEP. We note that sometimes the fitting residuals are not randomly distributed even in the best-fit model. This indicates there could still be a small amount of other species unaccounted for, possibly intermediate species (e.g., trimer) or higher order oligomers (e.g., octamer), which are too complex to model alongside the dimer and tetramer

description: An additive cellular automaton is a linear map on the set of infinite multidimensional arrays of elements in a finite cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, we consider simplices appearing in the orbits generated from arithmetic arrays by additive cellular automata. We prove that they are a source of balanced simplices, that are simplices containing all the elements of $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$ with the same multiplicity. For any additive cellular automaton of dimension $1$ or higher, the existence of infinitely many balanced simplices of $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$ appearing in such orbits is shown, and this, for an infinite number of values $m$. The special case of the Pascal cellular automata, the cellular automata generating the Pascal simplices, that are a generalization of the Pascal triangle into arbitrary dimension, is studied in detail.

description: Symmetries of three-dimensional topological field theories are naturally defined in terms of invertible topological surface defects. Symmetry groups are thus Brauer-Picard groups. We present a gauge theoretic realization of all symmetries of abelian Dijkgraaf-Witten theories. The symmetry group for a Dijkgraaf-Witten theory with gauge group a finite abelian group $A$, and with vanishing 3-cocycle, is generated by group automorphisms of $A$, by automorphisms of the trivial Chern-Simons 2-gerbe on the stack of $A$-bundles, and by partial e-m dualities. We show that transmission functors naturally extracted from extended topological field theories with surface defects give a physical realization of the bijection between invertible bimodule categories of a fusion category and braided auto-equivalences of its Drinfeld center. The latter provides the labels for bulk Wilson lines; it follows that a symmetry is completely characterized by its action on bulk Wilson lines.

title: Understanding the policy and public debate surrounding the regulation of online advertising of high in fat, sugar and salt food and beverages to children
Creators: name: White, Lauren Elsie
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: food, children, advertising, policy, regulation.

description: Introduction: In the United Kingdom (UK) increasing childhood obesity rates may be indicative of a lack of regulation of corporate influences that contribute to an obesogenic environment. A key feature in the policy debate surrounding childhood obesity is the role that online advertising of high in fat, sugar and salt (HFSS) food and beverages may play. Minimal research has been conducted in the UK seeking to understand stakeholders’ views of regulating this online environment. Methods: Focus groups with parents, secondary analysis of focus groups with children, consultation response analysis and professional stakeholder interviews were conducted. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the focus groups and interview data, and frame analysis was employed to analyse the consultation. Findings: Parents and children reported finding it increasingly difficult to attain a healthy diet, with online advertising of HFSS products appearing to be an ‘external intruder’ within the home environment. Findings were underpinned by participants’ concerns on the power dynamics related to the regulation of online HFSS product advertising. Both industry power and State power were positioned as problematic, with regulation (or the lack of) considered an appropriate tool to address problematic power dynamics. Participants’ concerns aligned with social justice and market justice values. Discussion and conclusion: Participants’ views indicate a complex debate surrounding the regulation of online advertising of HFSS products. Although tension existed between participants’ acceptability of improved regulation of online advertising as an appropriate policy response to the extensive advertising of HFSS products, there appeared to be a desire for a re-negotiation of the power dynamics within the obesogenic environment to increase parents’ and children’s ability to attain a healthy diet. Statutory regulation, framed as an empowering public health policy rather than restrictive, may be one way to address the concerns described by the participants.

description: In this paper we derive thermodynamically consistent higher order phase �eld models for the dynamics of vesicle membranes in incompressible viscous uids. We start with basic conservation laws and an appropriate version of the second law of thermodynamics and obtain generalizations of models introduced by Du, Li and Liu [5] and Jamet and Misbah [13]. In particular we derive a stress tensor involving higher order derivatives of the phase �eld and generalize the classical Korteweg capillarity tensor.

description:
 Berberine (BBR), which is a compound derived from the Chinese medicinal plant Coptis chinensis, promotes weight loss, but the molecular mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we show that BBR increases the serum level of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), which is a stress response cytokine that can reduce food intake and lower body weight, in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. The body weight and food intake of DIO mice were decreased after BBR treatment, and the weight change was negatively correlated with the serum GDF15 level. Further studies show that BBR induced GDF15 mRNA expression and secretion in the brown adipose tissue (BAT) of DIO mice and primary mouse brown adipocytes. In addition, we found that BBR upregulates GDF15 mRNA expression and secretion by activating the integrated stress response (ISR) in primary mouse brown adipocytes. Overall, our findings show that BBR lowers body weight by inducing GDF15 secretion via the activation of the ISR in BAT.
Size Effects in Thermal Conduction by Phonons

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: Heat transport in nanoscale systems is both hard to measure microscopically, and hard to interpret. Ballistic and diffusive heat flow coexist, adding confusion. This paper looks at a very simple case: a nanoscale crystal repeated periodically. This is a popular model for simulation of bulk heat transport using classical molecular dynamics (MD), and is related to transient thermal grating experiments. Nanoscale effects are seen in perhaps their simplest form. The model is solved by an extension of standard quasiparticle gas theory of bulk solids. Both structure and heat flow are constrained by periodic boundary conditions. Diffusive transport is fully included, while ballistic transport by phonons of long mean free path is diminished in a specific way. Heat current J(x) and temperature gradient dT(x')/dx' have a non-local relationship, via k(x-x'), over a distance |x-x'| determined by phonon mean free paths. In MD modeling of bulk conductivity, finite computer resources limit system size. Long mean free paths, comparable to the scale of heating and cooling, cause undesired finite-size effects that have to be removed by extrapolation. The present model allows this extrapolation to be quantified. Calculations based on the Peierls-Boltzmann equation, using a generalized Debye model, show that extrapolation involves fractional powers of 1/L. It is also argued that heating and cooling should be distributed sinusoidally (de/dt~cos(2pi x/L)) to improve convergence of numerics.

description: We study the electronic properties of the $\textrm{Fe}\textrm{Se}_{1-x}\textrm{Te}_x$ system ($x=0$, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1) from the perspective of X-ray spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT). The analysis performed on the density of states reveals marked differences in the distribution of the $5p$ states of Te for $x>0$. We think that this finding can be associated with the fact that superconductivity is suppressed in FeTe. Moreover, using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering, we estimate the spin state of our system which can be correlated to the magnetic order. We find that the spin state of the $\textrm{Fe}\textrm{Se}_{1-x}\textrm{Te}_x$ system fluctuates, as a function of $x$, between $S=0$ and $S=2$ with Fe in FeSe in the highest spin state. Finally, our DFT calculations nicely reproduce the X-ray emission spectra performed at the Fe $L$-edge (which probe the occupied states) and suggest that the $\textrm{Fe}\textrm{Se}_{1-x}\textrm{Te}_x$ system can be considered at most as a moderately correlated system.

Die primären und sekundären Herkunftseffekte stellen dabei zentrale Faktoren dar. Diese ersten Erklärungsansätze werden theoretisch mit soziologischen Ungleichheitstheorien verknüpft und hinterlegt, dabei wird vor allem auf die Habitus-Theorie nach Bourdieu eingegangen. Weiter stellt sich die Frage nach der Gerechtigkeit von Bildungsungleichheit, deren Beantwortung anhand von Theorien der Leistungsgerechtigkeit, insbesondere dem Prinzip der Meritokratie vorgenommen wird. Basierend auf diesen Erkenntnissen werden sozialarbeiterische Handlungsmöglichkeiten in der Institution Schule und im Handlungsfeld der Schulsozialarbeit erarbeitet, die zu mehr Bildungsgleichheit beitragen sollen. Die erarbeiteten Handlungsmöglichkeiten in den Bereichen Prävention, Früherkennung und Intervention umfassen unter anderem Gruppenarbeiten, Elternberatung sowie die Zusammenarbeit mit Lehrpersonen.

description: A new fast multipole formulation for solving elliptic difference equations on unbounded domains and its parallel implementation are presented. These difference equations can arise directly in the description of physical systems, e.g. crystal structures, or indirectly through the discretization of PDEs. In the analog to solving continuous inhomogeneous differential equations using Green's functions, the proposed method uses the fundamental solution of the discrete operator on an infinite grid, or lattice Green's function. Fast solutions $\mathcal{O}(N)$ are achieved by using a kernel-independent interpolation-based fast multipole method. Unlike other fast multipole algorithms, our approach exploits the regularity of the underlying Cartesian grid and the efficiency of FFTs to reduce the computation time. Our parallel implementation allows communications and computations to be overlapped and requires minimal global synchronization. The accuracy, efficiency, and parallel performance of the method are demonstrated through numerical experiments on the discrete 3D Poisson equation.

Die Rolle der Sozialpädagogik im Arbeitsfeld der Tagesstrukturen: Diskussion der sozialpädagogischen Aspekte anhand eines beispielhaften Alltags in einer Tagesstruktur
Creators: name: Andermatt, Pascale
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Tagesstrukturen, also Betreuungsangebote für schulpflichtige Kinder in Ergänzung zur Familie und Schule, werden in der Schweiz stetig ausgebaut. Dabei werden unterschiedlichste Anforderungen wie etwa eine vereinfachte Vereinbarung von Beruf und Familie oder die Erhöhung der Bildungschancen an die Tagesstrukturen gerichtet. Der öffentliche Diskurs reiht sich in die fachliche Diskussion um einen erweiterten Bildungsbegriff ein, wobei die qualitativen Ansprüche noch nicht geklärt sind und kein klarer Berufsauftrag vorliegt. Im Rahmen dieser Bachelor-Arbeit soll daher der Frage nachgegangen werden, ob es sich bei Tagesstrukturen um ein sozialpädagogisches Arbeitsfeld handelt. Im Theorieteil werden dazu die Kernelemente sozialpädagogischen Handelns und die Eigenschaften von Tagesstrukturen als Arbeitsfeld aufgearbeitet. Durch die Forschungsmethode der teilnehmenden Beobachtung kann der Alltag in einer Tagesstruktur beispielhaft nachgezeichnet werden. Die Ergebnisse aus dem Theorie- und dem Forschungsteil zusammengefasst zeigen unter anderem auf, dass es sich bei den Tagesstrukturen durchaus um ein sozialpädagogisches Arbeitsfeld handeln kann. Bedingend ist jedoch ein klar formulierter Auftrag, welcher im Sinne der Sozialen Arbeit zu bearbeiten ist. Die dazu notwendige gesellschaftspolitische Diskussion über die Ziele, Aufgaben und Ansprüche an Tagesstrukturen muss schweizweit erst noch geführt werden. Das Arbeitsfeld wird in den nächsten Jahren weiter wachsen und im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Weiterentwicklung sind sowohl die Soziale Arbeit, die Tagesstrukturen, die Politik wie auch die Gesellschaft gefordert, sich mit der Thematik auseinanderzusetzen.

description: We study the process of primordial black hole (PBH) formation at the beginning of radiation era for the cosmological scenario in which the inflaton is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (axion) and there is a coupling of the inflaton with some gauge field. In this model inflation is accompanied by the gauge quanta production and a strong rise of the curvature power spectrum amplitude at small scales (along with non-Gaussianity) is predicted. We show that data on PBH searches can be used for a derivation of essential constraints on the model parameters in such an axion inflation scenario. We compare our numerical results with the similar results published earlier, in the work by Linde et al.

description: Manure management on farms presents potential risks to human health and safety, including infectious, chemical, and physical exposures that may result in injury or fatality. Toxic gases and confined spaces are among the most common hazards. These hazards are especially salient for the Upper Midwest of the United States. This study characterizes the occupational health and safety practices and experiences of manure applicators in Minnesota. This cross-sectional study surveyed 162 commercial manure applicators about their work characteristics, safety practices, and health and safety experiences. Respondents reported an average of 17 hours per day applying manure during the busy season, which typically occurs several weeks each year. One hundred and thirty-one (90%) of 145 respondents did not regularly use gas monitors during application. Thirty-three (37%) of 90 respondents reported at least one symptom of gas exposure during manure application work. Those that worked with swine manure were more likely to report symptoms of gas exposure than those who did not work with swine (OR 9.5; CI: 2.0, 89.0). Those that had entered confined spaces were more likely to report symptoms of gas exposure than those who had not entered confined spaces (OR 4.4; CI: 0.1, 1.1). Fourteen (9%) of 150 respondents reported being injured when applying manure. Manure work can be hazardous and may be associated with injury and gas exposure. These findings offer a starting point for future research and intervention to protect and improve the health and safety of applicators.

description: Calf-mediated zoonotic cryptosporidiosis is an emerging occupational health risk among Finnish dairy farmers. We studied farmers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding cryptosporidiosis to reveal possible weaknesses, which might increase the risk of zoonotic infection. KAP study was carried out as a cross-sectional questionnaire survey (n = 243). A total of 400 cryptosporidiosis-negative and 138 cryptosporidiosis-positive dairy farms, with more than 50 cows, were invited to participate in the study. The response rate was 45%. Half (49%) of the respondents had adequate knowledge concerning zoonotic cryptosporidiosis. Knowledge score was associated with age (p < 0.01), level of education (p < 0.01), and cryptosporidiosis status of the farm (p < 0.01). Though most respondents had favorable attitudes, one-third (32.5%) had poor zoonotic transmission prevention practices. Use of a personal mobile device was the most common risky practice (90%) performed daily in the cowhouse. Most respondents (93%) reported gaining information about infectious diseases in animals from more than two information sources. Veterinarians were the most mentioned source (n = 228), whereas primary care physicians were among the least common sources (n = 16). Having favorable attitudes towards the prevention of zoonotic cryptosporidiosis was common. However, shortages in knowledge and several risky practices were identified in both cryptosporidiosis positive and negative farms. The role of the occupational health sector should be strengthened in work-related zoonotic disease prevention and may require further education of the personnel. A one-health approach to control zoonotic diseases is recommended.
