description: We consider the problem of "algebraic reconstruction" of linear combinations of shifts of several known signals $f_1,\ldots,f_k$ from the Fourier samples. Following \cite{Bat.Sar.Yom2}, for each $j=1,\ldots,k$ we choose sampling set $S_j$ to be a subset of the common set of zeroes of the Fourier transforms ${\cal F}(f_\ell), \ \ell \ne j$, on which ${\cal F}(f_j)\ne 0$. It was shown in \cite{Bat.Sar.Yom2} that in this way the reconstruction system is "decoupled" into $k$ separate systems, each including only one of the signals $f_j$. The resulting systems are of a "generalized Prony" form. However, the sampling sets as above may be non-uniform/not "dense enough" to allow for a unique reconstruction of the shifts and amplitudes. In the present paper we study uniqueness and robustness of non-uniform Fourier sampling of signals as above, investigating sampling of exponential polynomials with purely imaginary exponents. As the main tool we apply a well-known result in Harmonic Analysis: the Turán-Nazarov inequality (\cite{Naz}), and its generalization to discrete sets, obtained in \cite{Fri.Yom}. We illustrate our general approach with examples, and provide some simulation results.
SILICE: A prototype of a national scholarly information system based on open sources
Creators: name: Ortega, José Luis

Year: 2022

description: This description of the data structure and the sources implemented in SILICE prototype attempts to evidence the real possibility of creating custom citations indexes that fit with the research evaluation requirements, supplying specific data about the production and impact of the scientific literature in particular places or organizations. This proposal makes evident the need of creating services that do not depend on external criteria or metrics that could distort the performance or the appreciation of intrinsic scientific traditions. The main originality of this proposal is that it is entirely based on open sources that can be freely used with/without attribution, which allows to customize any element in the system and to critically select the most suitable sources according to the requirements and needs of the system. Another important innovation is that the citation repository is independent from the publication dataset, which permits to compute the global impact of publications, authors and organizations, without losing the global context of the Spanish scientific literature.

description: AdS_3 solutions dual to N = (0,2) SCFTs arise when D3-branes wrap Kahler two-cycles in manifolds with SU(4) holonomy. Here we review known AdS_3 solutions and identify the corresponding three-dimensional gauged supergravities, solutions of which uplift to type IIB supergravity. In particular, we discuss gauged supergravities dual to twisted compactifications on Riemann surfaces of both N=4 SYM and N =1 SCFTs with Sasaki-Einstein duals. We check in each case that c-extremization gives the exact central charge and R symmetry. For completeness, we also study AdS_3 solutions from intersecting D3-branes, generalise recent KK reductions of Detournay & Guica and identify the underlying gauged supergravities. Finally, we discuss examples of null-warped AdS_3 solutions to three-dimensional gauged supergravity, all of which embed in string theory.

description: Corruption remains a pressing issue in governance, affecting public, private, and mixed institutions, with an estimated cost of around 120 billion euros per year to the European economy. Anti-corruption efforts are seen as essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and financing for development targets, as corruption carries significant economic and social costs and undermines government legitimacy. Economic analysis can provide insights into the incentives driving bribery and extortion and the deterrent effect of the law. However, fighting bribery and extortion poses a trade-off, as rewards to prevent supervisors from accepting bribes may create incentives for extortion. This thesis begins by identifying the types of corruption suggested by Aidt (2003) and exploring the microeconomics underlying corrupt transactions and corruption in public procurement auctions. The social costs of bribery and extortion are then illustrated. Before concluding I present an agent-auditor-principal model where the agent’s incentive is to maximize his expected payoff, the auditor depending on his type has different incentives and the principal’s objective is to design a policy such that corruption by lying agents and corrupt officials is minimized. In the end, conclusive remarks are given.
description: Η διαφθορά παραμένει ένα πιεστικό ζήτημα στη διακυβέρνηση, που επηρεάζει τους δημόσιους, ιδιωτικούς και μικτούς θεσμούς, με εκτιμώμενο κόστος περίπου 120 δισεκατομμυρίων ευρώ ετησίως για την ευρωπαϊκή οικονομία . Οι προσπάθειες καταπολέμησης της διαφθοράς θεωρούνται ουσιώδεις για την επίτευξη των στόχων της βιώσιμης ανάπτυξης και της χρηματοδότησης της ανάπτυξης, καθώς η διαφθορά συνεπάγεται σημαντικό οικονομικό και κοινωνικό κόστος και υπονομεύει τη νομιμότητα της κυβέρνησης. Η οικονομική ανάλυση μπορεί να παράσχει πληροφορίες σχετικά με τα κίνητρα που οδηγούν στη δωροδοκία και τον εκβιασμό και την αποτρεπτική επίδραση του νόμου. Ωστόσο, η καταπολέμηση της δωροδοκίας και του εκβιασμού ενέχει ένα αντιστάθμισμα, καθώς οι ανταμοιβές που αποτρέπουν τους προϊσταμένους από το να δέχονται δωροδοκίες μπορεί να δημιουργήσουν κίνητρα για εκβιασμούς. Η παρούσα διατριβή αρχίζει με τον προσδιορισμό των τύπων διαφθοράς που προτείνει ο Aidt (2003) και τη διερεύνηση της μικροοικονομικής που διέπει τις διεφθαρμένες συναλλαγές και τη διαφθορά στις δημοπρασίες δημοσίων συμβάσεων. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάζεται το κοινωνικό κόστος της δωροδοκίας και του εκβιασμού. Πριν καταλήξω, παρουσιάζω ένα υπόδειγμα πράκτορα-ελεγκτή-αρχηγού όπου το κίνητρο του πράκτορα είναι να μεγιστοποιήσει την αναμενόμενη αμοιβή του, ο ελεγκτής ανάλογα με τον τύπο του έχει διαφορετικά κίνητρα και ο στόχος του εντολέα είναι να σχεδιάσει μια πολιτική έτσι ώστε να ελαχιστοποιηθεί η διαφθορά από ψεύτες πράκτορες και διεφθαρμένους υπαλλήλους. Στο τέλος, διατυπώνονται συμπερασματικές παρατηρήσεις.

description: We present a comparison between hybridized and non-hybridized discontinuous Galerkin methods in the context of target-based hp-adaptation for compressible flow problems. The aim is to provide a critical assessment of the computational efficiency of hybridized DG methods. Hybridization of finite element discretizations has the main advantage, that the resulting set of algebraic equations has globally coupled degrees of freedom only on the skeleton of the computational mesh. Consequently, solving for these degrees of freedom involves the solution of a potentially much smaller system. This not only reduces storage requirements, but also allows for a faster solution with iterative solvers. Using a discrete-adjoint approach, sensitivities with respect to output functionals are computed to drive the adaptation. From the error distribution given by the adjoint-based error estimator, h- or p-refinement is chosen based on the smoothness of the solution which can be quantified by properly-chosen smoothness indicators. Numerical results are shown for subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flow around the NACA0012 airfoil. hp-adaptation proves to be superior to pure h-adaptation if discontinuous or singular flow features are involved. In all cases, a higher polynomial degree turns out to be beneficial. We show that for polynomial degree of approximation p=2 and higher, and for a broad range of test cases, HDG performs better than DG in terms of runtime and memory requirements.

description: Ideally, measuring exposures to volatile organic compounds should allow for modifying sampling duration without loss in sensitivity. Traditional sorbent-based sampling can vary sampling duration, but sensitivity may be affected when capturing shorter tasks. Diaphragm and capillary flow controllers allow for a range of flow rates and sampling durations for air sampling with evacuated canisters. The goal of this study was to evaluate the extent to which commercialized capillary flow controllers satisfy the bias (±10%) and accuracy (±25%) criteria for air sampling methods as established by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) using the framework of ASTM D6246 Standard Practice for Evaluating the Performance of Diffusive Samplers to compare their performance with diaphragm flow controllers in a long-term field study. Phase 1 consisted of a series of laboratory tests to evaluate capillary flow controller flow rates with respect to variations in temperature (−15–24 °C). The results demonstrated a slight increase in flow rate with lower temperatures. In Phase 2, the capillary flow controller was evaluated utilizing a matrix of parameters, including time-weighted average concentration, peak concentration (50–100× base concentration), air velocity across the sampler inlet (0.41–0.5 m/s), relative humidity (20–80%), and temperature (10–32 °C). Comparison of challenge concentrations with reference concentrations revealed the aggregate bias and overall accuracy for four tested compounds to be within the range of criteria for both NIOSH and ASTM standards. Additionally, capillary flow controllers displayed lower variability in flow rate and measured concentration (RSD: 2.4% and 4.3%, respectively) when compared with diaphragm flow controllers (RSD: 6.9% and 7.2%, respectively) for 24-hr laboratory tests. Phase 3 involved further testing of flow rate variability for both diaphragm and capillary flow controllers in a field study. The capillary flow controller displayed a lower level of variability (RSD: 5.2%) than the diaphragm flow controller (RSD: 8.0%) with respect to flow rate, while allowing for longer durations of sampling.

Τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση

description: Τόσο η διοικητική αποκέντρωση όσο και η τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση συνιστούν βασικούς θεσμούς του πολιτικού και διοικητικού συστήματος της χώρας μας, και παρότι έχουν υποστεί αλλαγές και μεταρρυθμίσεις σε όλη την πορεία λειτουργίας του ελληνικού κράτους, η σημαντικότητά τους αντανακλάται στη συνταγματική πρόβλεψη της ύπαρξης και λειτουργίας τους. Το Σύνταγμα εγγυάται διοικητική και οικονομική αυτοτέλεια των Οργανισμών Τοπικής Αυτοδιοίκησης, παράλληλα, όμως, αναγνωρίζει στο κράτος την αρμοδιότητα να ασκεί διοικητική εποπτεία σε αυτούς, ως αποκλειστικός φορέας της εξουσίας που επιβάλλει το σεβασμό της νομιμότητας που τη διέπει, όταν αυτή ασκείται από νομικά πρόσωπα που βρίσκονται εκτός του νομικού προσώπου του. Παρότι η εποπτεία δεν πρέπει να αναιρεί τη διοικητική και οικονομική αυτοτέλεια των Ο.Τ.Α. ή να εμποδίζει την ελεύθερη δράση τους, η κατά παραχώρηση άσκηση δημόσιας εξουσίας στους Οργανισμούς Τ.Α. δεν μπορεί και δεν πρέπει να είναι απεριόριστη. Η δυνατότητα άσκησης ελέγχου μέσω αποτελεσματικών ελεγκτικών μηχανισμών διασφαλίζει τη συνοχή του διοικητικού συστήματος και αποτελεί κύριο συστατικό για ένα κράτος δικαίου. Η παρούσα εργασία πραγματεύεται την κρατική εποπτεία που ασκείται στους Ο.Τ.Α. και ειδικότερα το εποπτικό όργανο που προβλέφθηκε να έχει την αρμοδιότητα αυτή, την Αυτοτελή Υπηρεσία Εποπτείας Ο.Τ.Α. Με τη ρύθμιση για τη λειτουργία της υπηρεσίας αυτής δημιουργήθηκαν προσδοκίες για άσκηση ανεξάρτητου, αμερόληπτου και αποτελεσματικού ελέγχου από εξειδικευμένο όργανο. Ωστόσο, το γεγονός ότι η λειτουργία του δεν έχει ακόμα ξεκινήσει θέτει το ερευνητικό ερώτημα, το οποίο καλείται να απαντήσει η παρούσα μελέτη: αν τελικά είναι απαραίτητη η έναρξη λειτουργίας των Α.Υ.Ε. και τι περισσότερο μπορεί να προσφέρουν από τις Αποκεντρωμένες Διοικήσεις, που ακούν σήμερα την εποπτεία. Στόχος της εργασίας είναι να απαντηθεί το συγκεκριμένο ερώτημα και παράλληλα να γίνει κατανοητό στον αναγνώστη το θεσμικό πλαίσιο του κρατικού ελέγχου και οι συνεχείς αλλαγές που αυτό έχει υποστεί. Η αποτελεσματικότητα του συστήματος εποπτείας εξετάζεται μέσα από πρωτογενείς και δευτερογενείς πηγές, και ειδικότερα μέσα από τις σχετικές νομοθετικές διατάξεις σε συνδυασμό με την πλούσια βιβλιογραφία και τις επιστημονικές μελέτες, οι οποίες μελετήθηκαν και εξετάστηκαν συγκριτικά.

description: We present a method to measure the absolute surface resistance of conductive samples at a set of GHz frequencies with superconducting lead stripline resonators at temperatures 1- 6K. The stripline structure can easily be applied for bulk samples and allows direct calculation of the surface resistance without the requirement of additional calibration measurements or sample reference points. We further describe a correction method to reduce experimental background on high-Q resonance modes by exploiting TEM-properties of the external cabling. We then show applications of this method to the reference materials gold, tantalum, and tin, which include the anomalous skin effect and conventional superconductivity. Furthermore, we extract the complex optical conductivity for an all-lead stripline resonator to find a coherence peak and the superconducting gap of lead.

description: We investigate a bilayer system of critical HgTe quantum wells each featuring a spin-degenerate pair of massless Dirac fermions. In the presence of an electrostatic inter-layer Coulomb coupling, we determine the exciton condensate order parameter of the system self-consistently. Calculating the bulk topological $\mathbb Z_2$ invariant of the resulting mean field Hamiltonian, we discover a novel time reversal symmetric topological exciton condensate state coined the helical topological exciton condensate. We argue that this phase can exist for experimentally relevant parameters. Interestingly, due to its multi-band nature, the present bilayer model exhibits a nontrivial interplay between spontaneous symmetry breaking and topology: Depending on which symmetry the condensate order parameter spontaneously picks in combined orbital and spin space, stable minima in the free energy corresponding to both trivial and nontrivial gapped states can be found.

description: Phase transitions in molecular crystals are often determined by intermolecular interactions. The cage complex of [Co(C₁₂H₃₀N₈)]³⁺ ⋅ 3 NO₃⁻ is reported to undergo a disorder-order phase transition at T꜀₁≈133 K upon cooling. Temperature-dependent neutron and synchrotron diffraction experiments revealed satellite reflections in addition to main reflections in the diffraction patterns below T꜀₁. The modulation wave vector varies as function of temperature and locks in at T꜀₃≈98 K. Here, we demonstrate that the crystal symmetry lowers from hexagonal to monoclinic in the incommensurately modulated phases in T꜀₁

description: We present a novel perspective on the clustering of dark matter in phase space by defining the particle phase space average density ($P^2SAD$) as a two-dimensional extension of the two-point correlation function averaged within a certain volume in phase space. This statistics is a sensitive measure of small scale (sub-)structure of dark matter haloes. By analysing the structure of $P^2SAD$ in Milky-Way-size haloes using the Aquarius simulations, we find it to be nearly universal at small scales, i.e. small separations in phase space, where substructures dominate. This remarkable universality occurs across time and in regions of substantially different ambient densities (by nearly four orders of magnitude), with typical variations in $P^2SAD$ of a factor of a few. The maximum variations occur in regions where substructures have been strongly disrupted. The universality is also preserved across haloes of similar mass but diverse mass accretion histories and subhalo distributions. The universality is also broken at large scales, where the smooth dark matter distribution in the halo dominates. Although at small scales the structure of $P^2SAD$ is roughly described by a subhalo model, we argue that the simulation data is better fitted by a family of superellipse contours. This functional shape is inspired by a model that extends the stable clustering hypothesis into phase space. In a companion paper, we refine this model and show its advantages as a method to obtain predictions for non-gravitational signatures of dark matter.

description: Stimulated by recent studies of quantum phases with broken local inversion symmetry, we study the magnetoelectric effect in locally noncentrosymmetric metals. We consider three-dimensional (3D) coupled zigzag chains and demonstrate that the antiferromagnetic moment is induced by the electric current through a staggered antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling. This current-induced magnetism is much larger than that in globally noncentrosymmetric metals. We provide an intuitive understanding of the current-induced antiferromagnetic moment by showing the inverse magnetoelectric effect, that is, the ferroic p-wave charge nematic order accompanied by the asymmetric band structure in the antiferromagnetic state. We also examine conduction electrons coupled to localized spins via Kondo exchange coupling and demonstrate a significant enhancement of the magnetoelectric effect. A possible experimental observation of the magnetoelectric effect in metals is discussed, with focus on LnM_2Al_10 compounds, such as NdRu_Al_10 and TbRu_2Al_10.

description: Aquaculture is a multibillion-dollar industry growing worldwide, especially in developing countries. This thesis focuses on a comprehensive study of off-grid fish farming in rural areas of Pakistan. A suitable site is selected for a fish farm. The solar PV system was designed and optimized for this fish farm on their annual load requirements, which are 100% renewable. Results demonstrated that the designed Solar PV system fulfilled the fish farm load smoothly and sufficiently throughout the year. Initial cost and maintenance are also estimated using HOMER Pro. Data were collected from the site survey and found there was not any system for water pumping system operations. The water pump operated manually through labor based on the visual determination of water level in ponds, Which increased production cost, electricity consumption, and wastewater. For this problem, Proposed a water pumping system automation and control using TinkerCAD. As a result, the system worked efficiently using an ultrasonic water level sensor and a low-cost motor with a microcontroller. The designed system works automatically when the water level drops to the threshold and stops. The major part of this thesis is designing and implementing an IoT-based real-time health monitoring system for the fish farm. Microcontroller Arduino Uno and Wi-Fi module ESP8266 used for the proposed system and designed a system to monitor the most critical metrics of the fish farm using an ultrasonic sensor temperature sensor, pH sensor, and dissolved oxygen sensor. ThingSpeak Cloud platform is used for data storage and display. Aquafarmers can access the fish farm health monitoring system through the web interface and phone App.

Ende 2009 wurden an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum Studentinnen mit einem Online-Fragebogen unter anderem zu ihrer Stalking-Betroffenheit befragt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Befragung werden vorgestellt und im Kontext der deutschen Stalkingforschung diskutiert. Die Autorinnen stellen Umfang und Art der Stalking-Betroffenheit von Studentinnen vergleichend dar und beleuchten deren spezifische Umstände. Dabei kommen sie zu dem Ergebnis, dass Studentinnen aufgrund ihres Alters in besonders hohem Maße von Stalking betroffen sind. Hierbei ist das Internet der häufigste Ort von Stalkinghandlungen und das Ex-Partner-Stalking, teils mit massiver Gewaltanwendung, die häufigste Form von Stalking.

description: Frank Herbert’s Dune series has been analyzed with regard to various issues, such as politics, ecology and religion. Its legal aspects have been neglected so far. Contrary to the seemingly common perception that law does not play a significant role in Dune, this article will first show that law is indeed ubiquitous in Dune and shapes the narrative in important ways. Dune develops different legal cultures: a cynical rule by law in the Imperium and an earnest rule of law among the native Fremen. It reflects on the limits of law in a way that is heavily influenced by a type of collective determinism first developed in Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, a source of inspiration that has not been noticed until now. Dune reflects a profound distrust of organized authority. Ultimately, it undervalues the fact that law can serve to prevent abuse of power. But to do so, the law needs independent guardians which are conspicuously absent in Dune.

description: Many extensions to the Standard Model imply the existence of new charged scalar Higgs bosons. We study the contribution of a general scalar or pseudoscalar coupling for the neutrino-electron scattering. We take a phenomenological approach in order to obtain model independent limits to the couplings that arise in this picture. We illustrate the reach of the constraints by studying the particular case of the type III two Higgs doublet model, where we have found new constraints to some elements of the Yukawa couplings mixing matrix ($|Y_{ee}| \leq 1 \times 10^{-1}$ and $|Y_{eμ}| \leq 7\times10^{-2}$ at 90% CL).

description: In four experiments, a change detection task using emotional (i.e., angry and happy) faces as stimuli was implemented to investigate the effects of evaluative congruency on working-memory performance and to replicate the angry-face benefit (i.e., better performance for angry compared to happy and neutral faces) found in former studies. Although results of the single experiments were heterogeneous, an overall analysis revealed better performance in trials with evaluatively congruent compared to evaluatively incongruent displays and an angry-face benefit. The congruency effect is in line with recent assumptions that evaluative-priming effects might arise from a mutual facilitation of simultaneously active evaluatively congruent concepts. Research on the angry-face benefit is enriched by the finding that the benefit was also found in control experiments using inverted faces. This result suggests that the effect is based on perceptual features of angry faces.

description: The Gynoxyoid clade of the Senecioneae (Asteraceae) until now included the five genera Aequatorium, Gynoxys, Nordenstamia, Paracalia and Paragynoxys as diagnosed using selected morphological characters. In their pre-phylogenetic circumscription, the genera Aequatorium and Paragynoxys were considered to inhabit the northern Andes in contrast to Nordenstamia and Paracalia that occur in the central Andes. The most species-rich genus, Gynoxys, was believed to be distributed throughout the Andes. We use a recently established plastid phylogenomic framework that rendered Gynoxys paraphyletic to further evaluate the delimitation of genera in the Gynoxyoid clade. We examine the morphological variation of all members of the Gynoxyoid to identify characters potentially informative at genus level. This results in a matrix of eleven, mostly multistate characters, including those originally used to diagnose these genera. The ancestral character state inference displays a high level of homoplasy, but nevertheless supports the recognition of four genera. Aequatorium is characterised by white radiate capitula. Paracalia and Paragynoxys share white flowers and floral characteristics, such as flower opening and length of disc flowers lobes, as plesiomorphic states, but differ in habit (scandent shrubs vs. trees). Paracalia also retained white flowers, but its two species are characterised by the absence of outer phyllaries. The genera Gynoxys and Nordenstamia comprise species with yellow capitula which appear to be a derived feature in the Gynoxyoids. The genus Nordenstamia, with eight species, is synonymised under Gynoxys since molecular evidence shows its species nested within various parts of the Gynoxys subclade and the morphological variation of Nordenstamia falls well within that of Gynoxys. With the goal to assign all species to four genera (Aequatorium, Gynoxys, Paracalia and Paragynoxys), we assess the states for the eleven characters for all members of the Gynoxyoids and generate new ETS and ITS sequences for 171 specimens belonging to 49 species to further support their generic placement. We provide a taxonomic treatment for the four genera recognised here including amended diagnoses and morphological descriptions. Furthermore, a species-level taxonomic backbone is elaborated for all genera using electronic tools that list 158 currently accepted names and synonyms (209 names in total) with the respective protologue and type information, as well as notes on the current understanding of species limits. Eleven names are newly synonymised, two are lectotypified and eight are newly transferred to other genera.
Case Study: Mapping the impact of science on education policy during the COVID-19 pandemic

description: The impact of research on education policy during the COVID-19 pandemic provides a rare opportunity to analyse how governments leverage science during a crisis. This case study utilises a dual approach, first studying the policy impact of new research published on the effects of COVID-19 on education and then analysing the entire body of policy document citations. Key limitations in this project, especially with corpus selection, remain. There is a risk of biased data primarily because the research includes only documents indexed by SCOPUS and Overton. Due to time sensitivities, scientists during the pandemic opted to share results in alternative, faster forms to conventional peer-reviewed journals. These sources are not included in this analysis. Further, the Overton database, which is being utilised to identify the core set of policy documents, is dominated by North American and European sources (Szomszor &Adie, 2022), which may limit the internationalisation of results. Finally, a significant set of policy documents do not have any scholarly citations, often by key institutions, which hinders the outcome of this analysis. Beyond mapping the dynamics of scientific evidence and education policy during COVID-19, this case study seeks to identify the feedback loops which influence the impact of science on policy and vice versa, which could unlock new indicators for measuring the policy impacts of science.

description: The PAMELA collaboration recently released the $e^+$ absolute spectrum between 1 and 300 GeV in addition to the positron fraction and the $e^-$ spectrum previously measured in the same period. We use the newly developed three-dimensional upgrade of the DRAGON package to model those data. This code allows us to consider a realistic spiral arm source distribution in the Galaxy, which impacts the high-energy shape of the propagated spectra. At low energy we treat solar modulation with the HelioProp code and compare its results with those obtained using the usual force-field approximation. We show that all PAMELA data sets can be consistently, and accurately, described in terms of a standard background on top of which a charge symmetric $e^+$ + $e^-$ extra component with harder injection spectrum is added; this extra contribution is peaked at about 1 - 10 TeV and may originate from a diffuse population of sources located in the Galactic arms. For the first time, we compute the energy required to sustain such a relevant positron flux in the Galaxy, finding that it is naturally compatible with an astrophysical origin. We considered several reference propagation setups; we find that models with a low (or null) reacceleration - tuned against light nuclei data - nicely describe both PAMELA leptonic and hadronic data with no need to introduce a low-energy break in the proton and helium spectra, as it would be required for high reacceleration models. We also compare our models with the preliminary $e^-$ and $e^+$ absolute spectra recently measured by AMS-02. We find that those data, differently from what is inferred from the positron fraction alone, favor a high energy cutoff (about 10 TeV) of the extra component if this is uniquely generated in the Galactic arms. A lower cutoff may be allowed if a relevant contribution from powerful $e^-$ + $e^+$ nearby accelerators is invoked.

Nuclear dimension and Z-stability of non-simple C*-algebras

description: We investigate the interplay of the following regularity properties for non-simple C*-algebras: finite nuclear dimension, Z-stability, and algebraic regularity in the Cuntz semigroup. We show that finite nuclear dimension implies algebraic regularity in the Cuntz semigroup, provided that known type I obstructions are avoided. We demonstrate how finite nuclear dimension can be used to study the structure of the central sequence algebra, by factorizing the identity map on the central sequence algebra, in a manner resembling the factorization arising in the definition of nuclear dimension. Results about the central sequence algebra are used to attack the conjecture that finite nuclear dimension implies Z-stability, for sufficiently non-type I, separable C*-algebras. We prove this conjecture in the following cases: (i) the C*-algebra has no purely infinite subquotients and its primitive ideal space has a basis of compact open sets, (ii) the C*-algebra has no purely infinite quotients and its primitive ideal space is Hausdorff. In particular, this covers C*-algebras with finite decomposition rank and real rank zero. Our results hold more generally for C*-algebras with locally finite nuclear dimension which are (M,N)-pure (a regularity condition of the Cuntz semigroup).

description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of disability and mortality and is associated with alcohol consumption. On 1st May 2018, the Scottish Government introduced Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) legislation which set the floor price at which alcohol can be sold to 50 pence per unit. While MUP has led to a 7.6% decrease in off trade alcohol purchases, there are limited studies investigating the clinical impact of this legislation. This study aims to explore the impact of MUP on traumatic brain injury in Scotland. Retrospective cohort study using routinely collected national data collated by the Scottish Trauma Audit Group. Data were requested for all TBI incidents from 1st May to 31st December for both 2017 and 2018. Primary outcome was alcohol-related TBI. Secondary outcomes were injury mechanism, injury severity, clinical course, and short-term mortality. Analysis was conducted using multiple regression models adjusted for age, sex, season, and deprivation. A total of 1166 patients (66% male, and 46% in the 60–79-year bracket) were identified. Alcohol-related TBI was evident in 184 of 509 (36%) patients before MUP and in 239 of 657 (36%) patients injured after its implementation (p = 0.638). Further, there was no change in injury mechanism, injury severity, hospital course and short-term mortality of TBI after MUP. MUP has not resulted in a change in alcohol-related TBI nor in the mechanism and severity of TBI. Limitations in two-point analysis mean that findings should be interpreted with caution and further studies investigating the clinical outcomes of MUP must be conducted.
