Electronic structure, self-doping, and superconducting instability in the alternating single-layer trilayer stacking nickelates La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$

description: Motivated by the recently proposed alternating single-layer trilayer stacking structure for the nickelate La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$, we comprehensively study this system using {\it ab initio} and random-phase approximation techniques. Our analysis unveils similarities between this novel La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ structure and other Ruddlesden-Popper nickelate superconductors, such as a similar charge-transfer gap value and orbital-selective behavior of the $e_g$ orbitals. However, different from other Ruddlesden-Popper nickelate superconductors, we do not observe any obvious reconstruction of the Fermi surface from ambient conditions (Cmmm phase) to high pressures (P4/mmm phase). Pressure primarily increases the bandwidths of the Ni $e_g$ bands, suggesting an enhancement of the itinerant properties of those $e_g$ states. Furthermore, the $d_{3z^2-r^2}$ orbital also has a layer-selective behavior because the antibonding-bonding-nonbonding splitting can only be obtained in the trilayer. In addition, we observe a "self-doping" effect from the trilayer to the single-layer sublattices and this effect will be enhanced by overall electron doping. Moreover, we find a leading $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave pairing state that is restricted to the single-layer. Because the effective coupling between the single layers is very weak -- due to the non-superconducting trilayer in between -- this suggests that the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ in this structure should be much lower than in the bilayer structure.

Individual particle approach to the diffusive shock acceleration. Effect of the non-uniform flow velocity downstream of the shock
Creators: name: Petruk, O.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The momentum distribution of particles accelerated at strong non-relativistic shocks may be influenced by the spatial distribution of the flow speed around the shock. This phenomenon becomes evident in the cosmic-ray modified shock, where the particle spectrum itself determines the flow velocity profile upstream. However, what if the flow speed is not uniform downstream as well? Hydrodynamics indicates that its spatial variation over the length scales involved in the acceleration of particles in supernova remnants (SNRs) could be noticeable.} {In the present paper, we address this issue, initially following Bell's approach to particle acceleration and then by solving the kinetic equation. We obtained an analytical solution for the momentum distribution of particles accelerated at the cosmic-ray modified shock with spatially variable flow speed downstream.} {We parameterized the downstream speed profile to illustrate its effect on two model cases, the test particle and non-linear acceleration at the shock.The resulting particle spectrum is generally softer in Sedov SNRs because the flow speed distribution reduces the overall shock compression accessible to particles with higher momenta. On the other hand, the flow structure in young SNRs could lead to harder spectra. The diffusive properties of particles play a crucial role as they determine the distance from the shock, and, as a consequence, the flow speed that particles encounter downstream. We discuss the effect of the plasma velocity gradient to be (partially) responsible for the evolution of the radio index and for the high-energy break visible in gamma rays from some SNRs. We expect that the effect from the gradient of the flow velocity downstream could be prominent in regions of SNRs with higher diffusion coefficient and lower magnetic field, i.e. where acceleration of particles is not very efficient.

The Yugoslav Nuclear Program in the Context of the Cold War (1948-1971)
Creators: name: Korolija, Maja
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2025

description: Following the end of the Second World War, Yugoslavia embraced the Soviet ideological conception of society as the ideal model for all spheres of life, including science. In accordance with this, scientific work in the country should be planned, centralized and defined by the party-line. After the break-up with the USSR in 1948, especially at first, Yugoslavia showed a strong geopolitical inclination toward the Western Bloc. This led to the formation of a new state system of "Socialist Self-Management", but also brought about the rise of new discursive and organizational trends in Yugoslav science, which were compatible with certain elements of the perspective of science as autonomous – the hegemonic idea of science in the West. We'll present the development of the Yugoslav nuclear program in the period from 1948 to 1971. Despite changes that occurred due to the geopolitical shift in the domain of scientific organization and scientific discourse in Yugoslav science, we’ll show that the established organization of the nuclear program was much more in line with the Soviet model. Only when the nuclear program began to lose its political importance was it directed towards greater autonomy, which implied a greater focus on investment efficiency, i.e. limiting state investments and control. Our aim is to analyze the function of two dominant Cold War perspectives on science in the context of geopolitical and socio-economic processes of the (semi)peripheral Yugoslav socialist system, their manifest and latent functions on the example of the nuclear program.

First Steps Towards the Integration of Resources on Historical Glossing Traditions in the History of Chinese: A Collection of Standardized Fǎnqiè Spellings from the Guǎngyùn

subject: Chinese language

description: Due to the peculiar nature of the Chinese writing system, it is difficult to assess the pronunciation of historical varieties of Chinese. In order to reconstruct ancient pronunciations, historical glossing practices play a crucial role.  However, although studied thoroughly by numerous scholars, most research has been carried out in a qualitative manner, and no attempt at providing integrated resources of historical glossing practices has been made so far. Here, we present a first step towards the integration of resources on historical glossing traditions in the history of Chinese.  Our starting point are so-called fǎnqiè spellings in the Guǎngyùn, one of the early rhyme books in the history of Chinese, providing pronunciations for more than 20000 Chinese characters. By standardizing digital versions of the resource using tools from computational historical linguistics, we show that we can predict historical spellings with high precision and at the same time shed light on the precision of ancient glossing practices. Although a considerably small first step, our resource could be the starting point for an integrated, standardized collection that could ultimately shed new light on the history of Chinese.

description: Climate change and its consequences pose significant economic and social challenges around the world. Droughts have frequently afflicted South Africa, with the most recent severe drought occurring in 2015/2016. However, there has been little empirical research estimating the impact of climate-related shocks on individual well-being in South Africa. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the 2015/2016 drought on individual welfare. We also examine whether access to assets helps to mitigate the negative effects of climate change-related shocks on individual welfare. For estimating the impact of droughts on individual welfare outcomes, weather data are combined with individual panel data from the National Income Dynamics Study dataset. We use weather data from meteorological satellites to measure the extent of droughts across the country, and we measure individual welfare using real per capita consumption expenditure. Our estimation results show that the 2015/2016 drought had no significant effect on real per capita consumption expenditure in South Africa. We hypothesise that this is due in part to the structure of the labour market, with few people relying on subsistence farming, combined with social grants and remittances being the primary source of income for people at the bottom of the consumption distribution. Using anthropometric measurements as an alternative welfare indicator, we find that children living in drought-affected areas had lower weight-for-height measurements than those living in areas not affected by the drought. The findings imply that when food prices increased as a result of the drought, households may have chosen welfare-costly coping techniques such as reducing the quantity and quality of food consumed while keeping overall expenditure the same.

Feeling Judged: Reflections on Pornography and Romance from a Minotaur Milking Farm
Creators: name: Vivanco, Laura
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Romance fiction
subject: Sex in mass media

description: In general, “pornography has been defined in terms of content (sexually explicit depictions of genitalia and sexual acts), lack thereof (materials without any redeeming artistic, cultural or social value), intention (texts intended to arouse their consumers) and effect (texts arousing their consumers)” (Paasonen, Nikunen and Saarenmaa 1). This article explores the relationship between pornography and romance via an examination of just one romance novel, C. M. Nascosta’s Morning Glory Milking Farm (2021), not because it is representative of the entire genre, but because its setting, plot, and characterisation facilitate such an exploration. Consensus seems unlikely to emerge as to whether or not romance fiction meets the criteria for classification as pornography. Even those works lacking explicit sexual content may be considered akin to pornography (‘emotional porn’) due to the genre’s focus on producing emotional responses in its readers.
Implementing Holistic and Humanistic Approaches in a Remote Flipped English Translation Module

subject: COVID-19 (Disease)

subject: Holistic education
subject: Web-based instruction

description: A holistic approach encourages meaningful learning, creativity, risk-taking, and mutual empathy within a learning environment and challenges the traditional pedagogical approaches based on mono-referential methods. Rethinking these approaches entails placing learners at the core of the teaching process, including their inner personal spheres. Grounded in a case study of an Italian university setting, this study underlines the contribution to learner centrality of holistic and humanistic approaches to flipped learning and suggests how to implement such appoaches in a remote English translation module. The study was conducted via a structured questionnaire completed anonymously by 148 Italian students aged 18–19 at the end of their English module. The outcomes highlight the students’ appreciation of the holistic approach combined with a humanistic teaching approach (HTA), which they perceived as pushing the boundaries of formal, mono-referential teacher–learner relationships while maintaining these roles. The present study thus holds implications for the wider teacher community regarding the benefits and challenges of implementing flipped learning with an HTA in any other translation courses or modules. Rather than simply guiding and assisting students in learning for themselves, teachers have a crucial role as holistic learning facilitators. By redesigning a typical flipped learning class, the study enhances teachers’ awareness of this role and provides insightful suggestions on how holistic and humanistic approaches can be applied in remote English translation teaching.

Subjects: subject: English language--Variation

description: From the sociolinguistic perspective on the debate on Euro-English, this paper explores the main facets of the spread of English in Europe concerning contentious views on the emergence and establishment of a Euro-English variety. After summarising the steps by which the EU has reached its current political set-up, and along with providing a historical account of how scholars have conceptualised English in Europe, the paper examines the challenges this language has faced across Europe to become the chosen means of communication, as well as its implications for the European linguistic landscape, also after Brexit. It finally formulates a proposal for an ‘alternative’ Euro-English, which can linguistically unify European countries by virtue of their common classical roots.

description: Background: Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) pose a potential risk for xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues or organs. A special threat comes from viruses generated by recombination between human-tropic PERV-A and ecotropic PERV-C. Serial passages of a recombinant PERV-A/C on human 293 cells resulted in increased infectious titers and a multimerization of transcription factor binding sites in the viral long terminal repeat (LTR). In contrast to the LTR, the sequence of the env gene did not change, indicating that the LTR represents the determinant of high infectivity. Material/Methods: The virus was further propagated on human cells and characterized by different methods (titration, sequencing, infection experiments, electron microscopy). Results: Further propagation on human 293 cells resulted in deletions and mutations in the LTR. In contrast to low-titer viruses, the high-titer virus was infectious for cells from non-human primates including chimpanzees. Scanning electron microscopy revealed clustering of budding virions at the cell surface of infected human cells and transmission electron microscopy indicated that the virus infects them via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Conclusions: After propagation of PERV on human cells without selection pressure, viruses with different LTR were generated. High titer PERV was shown to infect cells from non-human primates. The experiments performed here simulate the situation in vivo and give an extended characterization of human cell-adapted PERVs.

description: Background: With ageing of the HIV-infected population, long-term exposure to treatment, varying adherence, emerging resistance and complications to therapies, effectiveness of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) needs to be monitored continuously at the population level. The German HIV-1 Seroconverter Cohort is a multi-centre, open, long-term observational cohort including patients with a known or reliably estimated date of HIV-infection i.e. last negative and first positive HIV antibody test within a maximum three-year interval or laboratory evidence of seroconversion. Our study aims to investigate survival improvements and changes in AIDS risk over calendar periods in the German HIV-1 Seroconverter Cohort. Methods: Retrospective (for the pre-1997 period) and prospective (since 1997) data from the German HIV-1 Seroconverter Cohort were used. Time from seroconversion to first AIDS-defining event over calendar periods was analysed by using Cox models adjusting for age at seroconversion, sex, transmission groups and short HIV test interval. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to determine expected survival (remaining AIDS-free) by calendar period. Results: 2162 seroconverters with 8976 person-years of observation were included in our analysis (up to 31.12.2010). A total of 196 first AIDSdefining events were reported. Two periods i.e. 19972000 and 2007-2010 were statistically associated with a reduction in the risk of AIDS, accounting for an overall reduction of 80%. Compared to1997-2000, hazard ratios were 2.6 (95%CI, 1.6-4.8; p=0.000) in pre-1997 and 0.5 (95%CI, 0.3-0.8; p=0.007) in 20072010. Independent risk factor for AIDS progression was age at seroconversion (HR, 1.3 per 10year-increase; p=0.001). Conclusion: HAART effectiveness has improved in the German HIV-1-Seroconverter Cohort. The risk to develop AIDS decreased significantly in 19972000 and in 20072010. However, elderly may require particular monitoring in view of their faster progression to AIDS.

description: El presente trabajo articula varias reflexiones sobre la poesía de protesta en la Castilla medieval y su representación en la pequeña y en la gran pantalla a través de tres referencias audiovisuales: un filme clásico del cine histórico de Hollywood, 'El valle de las espadas' ( 'The Castillian', 1963); uno de los grandes éxitos humorísticos de Monty Python, 'Los Caballeros de la tabla cuadrada y sus locos seguidores' ('Monty Python and the Holy Grail', 1975); y la más reciente y exitosa serie a todos los niveles culturales 'Juego de tronos' ('Game of Thrones', 2011-2019). Pese a las evidentes licencias artísticas con respecto al modelo histórico medieval, se advierten interesantes paralelismos entre el uso cultural de la poesía como vehículo de canalización de la protesta social.

description: Nuclear reactions drive the stellar evolution and contribute to the stellar and galactic chemicals abundances. New determinations of the nuclear reaction rates for key fusion reactions of stellar evolution are now available, paving the way to improved stellar model predictions. We explore the impact of new C12+C12 reaction rates for massive stars evolution, structure, and nucleosynthesis during core carbon-burning phase. We analyse the consequences for stars of different masses including rotation-induced mixing. We computed a grid of massive stars at solar metallicity using the stellar evolution code GENEC. We explored the results using three different references for the rates, with or without rotation. We study the effect in terms of evolution, structure, and critical mass limit between intermediate and massive stars. We explored the consequences for nucleosynthesis during the core C-burning phase by means of a one-zone nucleosynthesis code. We confirm the significant impact of using the recent nuclear reaction rates following the hindrance hypothesis as well as the mass-dependent effect of a resonance at 2.14 MeV. This impacts the characteristics of the core of stars from the C-ignition and during all the core C-burning phase. The change of rates modifies the central nucleosynthesis during the core C-burning phase, resulting in an underproduction of s-process elements. The correct and accurate determination of the nuclear reaction rates, with especially the existence and location of resonances, impacts stellar evolution in many aspects affecting the model predictions. The choice of the nuclear reaction rates reference for the C12+C12 fusion reaction changes significantly the behaviour of the core during the C-burning phase. This choice is then to be taken carefully in order to interpret stellar evolution and fate of massive stars.

description: Background: Overweight has increased in many countries over the past 20 years and excessive body weight is an established risk factor for adverse health outcomes and chronic diseases. This study aimed to determine comorbidity associated with overweight and obesity in a nationally representative sample of German adults. Methods: In the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998 standardized measures of body weight, height and waist circumference (WC) were obtained for 7,124 men and women 18 to 79 years of age. Information on pre-existing health conditions, health-related behaviors, and sociodemographic characteristics was collected using physician-administered computer-assisted interviews and self-administered questionnaires. World Health Organization (WHO) cut-off criteria were applied to define overweight (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2) and abdominal obesity (men: WC ≥102 cm; women: WC ≥88 cm). Results: The crude prevalence of persons with cardiometabolic risk factors, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease (CVD), gall bladder disease, and osteoarthritis showed a significant stepwise increase from the lowest to the highest BMI category in both sexes. In multiple logistic regression models adjusting for age, social status, and smoking, significant associations with overweight and obesity persisted for cardiometabolic risk factors and osteoarthritis. For example, obese persons had a three- to fourfold higher chance of having any cardiometabolic risk factor compared to normal weight persons (odds ratio (OR) = 4.07, 95% CI: 3.16-5.25 for men; OR = 3.40 (2.60-4.46) for women). Only in women, overweight and obesity as well as abdominal obesity, independent of BMI category, were significantly and consistently associated with diabetes (overweight: OR = 1.85 (1.03-3.30); obesity: OR = 2.94 (1.63-5.31); abdominal obesity: OR = 1.44 (1.08-1.92) and gall bladder disease (overweight: OR = 1.65 (1.22-2.25); obesity: OR = 3.06 (2.26-4.14); abdominal obesity: OR = 1.73 (1.25-2.39)). Conclusion: Current estimates of disease burden underline the public health importance and clinical relevance related to overweight and obesity and needs to take into account comorbidity aspects.

description: The German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) was conducted from 2008–2011 and comprised interviews, examinations and tests. The target population was the resident population of Germany aged from 18–79 years (n=8,152). Data on alcohol consumption, at-risk drinking and heavy episodic drinking was collected in a self-administered questionnaire with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test–Consumption (AUDIT-C). At-risk drinking is most common among young individuals aged from 19–29 years (men 54.9%; women 36%), becoming less common from an age of 65 years. With 41.6%, at-risk drinking is more prevalent in men than in women (25.6%). Men are three times more likely to be heavy episodic drinkers than women. Injuries are more common among individuals with at-risk or heavy episodic drinking. They receive advice on alcohol consumption during visits to general practitioners/specialists or outpatient departments more often than individuals without these drinking patterns.

description: We consider a setup to detect stimulated photon-photon scattering using high-power lasers. Signal photons are emitted from an overlap of the incoming intense laser pulses focused in vacuum from three sides. We derive and justify a general approximate analytical formula for the angular distribution and total yield of such signal photons in terms of the parameters of the incoming pulses, including their intensity, carrier frequencies, durations, focusing, polarizations, mutual orientation and overlap. Using the obtained formula a parametric study of the signal is carried out and optimization is performed.

Vacancy-mediated transport and segregation tendencies of solutes in FCC nickel under diffusional creep: A density functional theory study

description: The Nabarro-Herring (N-H) diffusional creep theory postulates the vacancy-mediated transport of atoms under a stress gradient as the creep mechanism under low-stress and high-temperature conditions. In multicomponent alloys, we premise that this stress-assisted flow of vacancies to and from grain boundaries will produce elemental segregation. An observation of such segregation, validated with theoretical predictions, can provide the necessary experimental evidence for the occurrence of N-H creep. Theoretical calculations of the segregation tendencies via analyzing the dominant solute diffusion mechanisms and the difference in diffusivities of the elements are therefore essential. To this end, this study applies density functional theory calculations of migration barriers and solute-vacancy binding energies as input to the self-consistent mean field theory to assess the vacancy-mediated diffusion mechanisms, transport coefficients, and segregation tendencies of Co, Cr, Mo, Re, Ta, and W solutes in face-centered cubic Ni. We find Co, Re, and W to be slow diffusers at high temperatures and Cr, Mo, and Ta to be fast diffusers. Further analysis shows that the slow diffusers tend to always enrich at vacancy sinks over a wide range of temperatures. In contrast, the fast diffusers show a transition from depletion to enrichment as the temperature lowers. Furthermore, our analysis of the segregation tendencies under tensile hydrostatic strains shows that slow diffusers are largely unaffected by the strain and favor enrichment. On the other hand, the fast diffusers exhibit high sensitivity to strain and their segregation tendency can transition from depletion to enrichment at a given temperature. The transport coefficients calculated in this work are expected to serve as input to mesoscale microstructure models to provide a more rigorous assessment of solute segregation under N-H creep conditions.
