description: COVID-19 is a disease first reported in 2019 that claimed the lives of more than 6.5 million people worldwide, paralyzed transport links and locked the borders of many states for a long time. In 2023, 3 years have passed since, yet not all countries have fully recovered and lifted the restrictions, which, of course, highlights that COVID-19 has had a huge impact on all aspects of modern life. The pandemic has given a strong impetus to the development of science and the study of COVID-19 and infectious diseases in general around the world, many articles on COVID-19 have been published in the past 3 years. Particularly interesting was the fact that while some people were asymptomatic, had mild COVID-19, other patients required mechanical ventilation and even medically induced coma. In this regard, the study of the genetic factors contributing to the severe course of the disease, comorbidities and the individual response to drugs has become especially relevant. In our work, we consider the main genes and entire loci of chromosomes involved in the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Genes such as IFNAR2, TMPRSS2, ACE2, TYK2, DPP9, HLA, OAS3, ABO, 3p21.31 locus and 12q24.13 locus have been considered; in addition, the association of severe COVID-19 with diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity was discussed.

description: Hybrid structures of semiconducting (SM) nanowires, epitaxially grown superconductors (SC), and ferromagnetic-insulator (FI) layers have been explored experimentally and theoretically as alternative platforms for topological superconductivity at zero magnetic field. Here, we analyze a tripartite SM/FI/SC heterostructure but realized in a planar stacking geometry, where the thin FI layer acts as a spin-polarized tunneling barrier between the SM and the SC. We optimize the system's geometrical parameters using microscopic simulations, finding the range of FI thicknesses for which the hybrid system can be tuned into the topological regime. Within this range, and thanks to the vertical confinement provided by the stacking geometry, trivial and topological phases alternate regularly as the external gate is varied, displaying a hard topological gap that can reach half of the SC one. This is a significant improvement compared to setups using hexagonal nanowires, which show erratic topological regions with typically smaller and softer gaps. Our proposal provides a magnetic field-free planar design for quasi-one-dimensional topological superconductivity with attractive properties for experimental control and scalability.

description: We investigate symmetry-preserving gapped boundary of (2+1)D topological phases with global symmetry, which can be either bosonic or fermionic. We develop a general algebraic description for gapped boundary condition for symmetry-enriched or fermionic topological phases, extending the framework of Lagrangian algebra anyon for bosonic phases without symmetry. We then focus on application to the case with U(1) symmetry. We derive new obstructions to symmetry-preserving gapped boundary for U(1)$^f$-symmetric (2+1)D fermionic topological phases, which are beyond chiral central charge $c_-$ and electric Hall conductivity $σ_H$. These obstructions are given by a simple Gauss-Milgram type formula valid for super-modular category, and regarded as a higher version of $c_-$ and $σ_H$.

description: Standard MCMC methods can scale poorly to big data settings due to the need to evaluate the likelihood at each iteration. There have been a number of approximate MCMC algorithms that use sub-sampling ideas to reduce this computational burden, but with the drawback that these algorithms no longer target the true posterior distribution. We introduce a new family of Monte Carlo methods based upon a multi-dimensional version of the Zig-Zag process of (Bierkens, Roberts, 2017), a continuous time piecewise deterministic Markov process. While traditional MCMC methods are reversible by construction (a property which is known to inhibit rapid convergence) the Zig-Zag process offers a flexible non-reversible alternative which we observe to often have favourable convergence properties. We show how the Zig-Zag process can be simulated without discretisation error, and give conditions for the process to be ergodic. Most importantly, we introduce a sub-sampling version of the Zig-Zag process that is an example of an {\em exact approximate scheme}, i.e. the resulting approximate process still has the posterior as its stationary distribution. Furthermore, if we use a control-variate idea to reduce the variance of our unbiased estimator, then the Zig-Zag process can be super-efficient: after an initial pre-processing step, essentially independent samples from the posterior distribution are obtained at a computational cost which does not depend on the size of the data.

description: Controlling the flow of charge neutral interlayer exciton (IX) quasiparticles can potentially lead to low loss excitonic circuits. Here, we report unidirectional transport of IXs along nanoscale electrostatically defined channels in an MoSe$_2$-WSe$_2$ heterostructure. These results are enabled by a lithographically defined triangular etch in a graphene gate to create a potential energy ''slide''. By performing spatially and temporally resolved photoluminescence measurements, we measure smoothly varying IX energy along the structure and high-speed exciton flow with a drift velocity up to 2 * 10$^6$ cm/s, an order of magnitude larger than previous experiments. Furthermore, exciton flow can be controlled by saturating exciton population in the channel using a second laser pulse, demonstrating an optically gated excitonic transistor. Our work paves the way towards low loss excitonic circuits, the study of bosonic transport in one-dimensional channels, and custom potential energy landscapes for excitons in van der Waals heterostructures.

description: The discovery of complex multicellular organism development took millions of years of evolution. The genome of such a multicellular organism guides the development of its body from a single cell, including its control system. Our goal is to imitate this natural process using a single neural cellular automaton (NCA) as a genome for modular robotic agents. In the introduced approach, called Neural Cellular Robot Substrate (NCRS), a single NCA guides the growth of a robot and the cellular activity which controls the robot during deployment. We also introduce three benchmark environments, which test the ability of the approach to grow different robot morphologies. In this paper, NCRSs are trained with covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES), and covariance matrix adaptation MAP-Elites (CMA-ME) for quality diversity, which we show leads to more diverse robot morphologies with higher fitness scores. While the NCRS can solve the easier tasks from our benchmark environments, the success rate reduces when the difficulty of the task increases. We discuss directions for future work that may facilitate the use of the NCRS approach for more complex domains.

description: Biomedical research often requires the use of precise equipment for micromanipulation, particularly in cellular biology. However, relatively inexpensive devices for cellular manipulation with electrophysiological methods or local chemical application with micrometer accuracy are rarely available in the equipment market. In this study, we present a method to develop a micromanipulator device based on stepper motors that is controlled by a microcontroller via a gamepad. This micro-motion system can be easily produced in any laboratory for various scientific experiments that require the movement of the electrode or pipette with a precision of several micrometers.
Implications from the upper limit of radio afterglow emission of FRB 131104/Swift J0644.5-5111

description: A $γ$-ray transient, Swift J0644.5-5111, has been claimed to be associated with FRB 131104. The $γ$-ray energy output is estimated as $E_γ\approx 5\times 10^{51}$\,erg at the nominal $z\approx 0.55$ redshift implied by the dispersion measure of FRB 131104. However, a long-term radio imaging follow-up observations only place an upper limit on the radio afterglow flux of Swift J0644.5-5111. Applying the external shock model, we make a detailed constraint on the afterglow parameters for the FRB 131104/Swift J0644.5-5111 system. We find that for the commonly used microphysics shock parameters (e.g., $ε_e=0.1$, $ε_B=0.01$ and $p=2.3$), if the redshift value inferred from the DM value is correct to order of magnitude (i.e., $z>0.1$), the ambient medium number density should be $\leq 10^{-3}~\rm{cm^{-3}}$, which is the typical value for a compact binary merger environment but disfavors a massive star origin. Assuming a typical ISM density, one would require that the redshift of the FRB much smaller than the value inferred from DM value ($z\ll0.1$), implying a non-cosmological origin of DM. The constraints are much looser if one adopts smaller $ε_B$ and $ε_e$ values, as observed in some GRB afterglows. The FRB 131104/Swift J0644.5-5111 association remains plausible. We critically discuss possible progenitor models for the system.

description: Various studies have led to our present knowledge of α1-adrenoreceptors and their role in the regulation of cardiovascular physiology. Our study aimed to study the effect of the α1-adrenergic receptor agonist methoxamine on the frequency of spontaneous activity and electrical activity parameters of the atrial myocardium with a preserved sinus node and an imposed rhythm in newborn rats. In working cardiomyocytes of newborn rats with a preserved sinus node, methoxamine caused an increase in the frequency of spontaneous activity. α1-adrenergic receptor agonist methoxamine increased the duration of the repolarization phase of the action potential in both the imposed and the own rhythm.

description: Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) could allow QKD and classical optical signals physically sharing the same optical fibers in existing networks. However, Raman scattering imposes a limit on the optical power, which in turn impacts the network capacity for classical traffic in presence of CV-QKD. Network-planning simulations indicate that maxing out the CV-QKD capacity in an optical link can adversely impact its classical capacity. Although preliminary, these results show that designing a mixed classical and CV-QKD network will require dedicated planning heuristics and tools that specifically seek a compromise between classical and CV-QKD traffics.

The spin-1/2 Kagome XXZ model in a field: competition between lattice nematic and solid orders

description: We study numerically the spin-1/2 XXZ model in a field on an infinite Kagome lattice. We use different algorithms based on infinite Projected Entangled Pair States (iPEPS) for this, namely: (i) with simplex tensors and 9-site unit cell, and (ii) coarse-graining three spins in the Kagome lattice and mapping it to a square-lattice model with nearest-neighbor interactions, with usual PEPS tensors, 6- and 12-site unit cells. Similarly to our previous calculation at the SU(2)-symmetric point (Heisenberg Hamiltonian), for any anisotropy from the Ising limit to the XY limit, we also observe the emergence of magnetization plateaus as a function of the magnetic field, at $m_z = \frac{1}{3}$ using 6- 9- and 12-site PEPS unit cells, and at $m_z = \frac{1}{9}, \frac{5}{9}$ and $\frac{7}{9}$ using a 9-site PEPS unit cell, the later set-up being able to accommodate $\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$ solid order. We also find that, at $m_z = \frac{1}{3}$, (lattice) nematic and $\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$ VBC-order states are degenerate within the accuracy of the 9-site simplex-method, for all anisotropy. The 6- and 12-site coarse-grained PEPS methods produce almost-degenerate nematic and $1 \times 2$ VBC-Solid orders. Within our accuracy, the 6-site coarse-grained PEPS method gives slightly lower energies, which can be explained by the larger amount of entanglement this approach can handle, even when the PEPS unit-cell is not commensurate with the expected ground state. Furthermore, we do not observe chiral spin liquid behaviors at and close to the XY point, as has been recently proposed. Our results are the first tensor network investigations of the XXZ spin chain in a field, and reveal the subtle competition between nearby magnetic orders in numerical simulations of frustrated quantum antiferromagnets, as well as the delicate interplay between energy optimization and symmetry in tensor networks.

description: We use the "tridiagonal representation approach" to solve the time-independent Schrödinger equation for bound states in a basis set of finite size. We obtain two classes of solutions written as finite series of square integrable functions that support a tridiagonal matrix representation of the wave operator. The differential wave equation becomes an algebraic three-term recursion relation for the expansion coefficients of the series, which is solved in terms of finite polynomials in the energy and/or potential parameters. These orthogonal polynomials contain all physical information about the system. The basis elements in configuration space are written in terms of either the Romanovski-Bessel polynomial or the Romanovski-Jacobi polynomial. The maximum degree of both polynomials is limited by the polynomial parameter(s). This makes the size of the basis set finite but sufficient to give a very good approximation of the bound states wavefunctions that improves with an increase in the basis size.

description: Theoretically it has been known that breaking spin-degeneracy and effectively realizing 'spinless fermions' is a promising path to topological superconductors. Yet, topological superconductors are rare to date. Here, we propose to realize spinless fermions by splitting the spin-degeneracy in momentum space. Specifically, we identify monolayer hole-doped transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)s as candidates for topological superconductors out of such momentum-space-split spinless fermions. Although electron-doped TMDs have recently been found superconducting, the observed superconductivity is unlikely topological due to the near spin-degeneracy. Meanwhile, hole-doped TMDs with momentum-space-split spinless fermions remain unexplored. Employing a renormalization group analysis, we propose that the unusual spin-valley locking in hole-doped TMDs together with repulsive interactions selectively favors two topological superconducting states: inter-pocket paired state with Chern number 2 and intra-pocket paired state with finite pair-momentum. A confirmation of our predictions will open up possibilities for manipulating topological superconductors on the device friendly platform of monolayer TMDs.

description: Bacillus cereus is an opportunistic Gram-positive anaerobic spore-forming bacterium found in various environmental conditions. One of the pathogenicity factors is hemolytic toxin II, which belongs to the group of β-barrel pore-forming toxins. HlyII B. cereus differs from other βbarrel pore-forming toxins by having a C-terminal extension of 94 amino acid residues. In this work, the binding sites of monoclonal antibodies obtained against recombinant HlyIICTD on the protein surface were determined. Using monoclonal antibodies, it was shown that HlyIICTD interacts with the erythrocyte membrane in a strictly defined manner. The localization of epitopes recognized by monoclonal antibodies suggested that the binding site of HlyIICTD with the membrane is localized in the C-terminal region of HlyIICTD molecule.

description: This paper addresses the challenge of handling uncertainties in mini-grid operation, crucial for achieving universal access to reliable and sustainable energy, especially in regions lacking access to a national grid. Mini-grids, consisting of small-scale power generation systems and distribution infrastructure, offer a cost-effective solution. However, the intermittency and uncertainty of renewable energy sources poses challenges, mitigated by employing batteries for energy storage. Optimizing the lifespan of the battery energy storage system is critical, requiring a balance between degradation and operational expenses, with battery operation strategies playing a key role in achieving this balance. Accounting for uncertainties in renewable energy sources, demand, and ambient temperature is essential for reliable energy management strategies. By formulating a probabilistic optimal control problem for minimizing the daily operational costs of stand-alone mini-grids under uncertainty, and exploiting the concept of joint chance constraints, we address the uncertainties inherent in battery dynamics and the associated operational constraints.

description: Interest in van der Waals materials often stems from a desire to miniaturise existing technologies by exploiting their intrinsic layered structure to create near atomically-thin components that do not suffer from surface defects. One appealing property is easily-switchable yet robust magnetic order, a quality only sparsely demonstrated in the case of in-plane anisotropy. In this work, we use widefield nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center magnetic imaging to measure the properties of individual flakes of CuCrP$_2$S$_6$, a multiferroic van der Waals magnet known to exhibit weak easy-plane anisotropy in the bulk. We chart the crossover between in-plane ferromagnetism in thin flakes down to the trilayer, and the bulk behaviour dominated by a low-field spin-flop transition. Further, by exploiting the directional dependence of NV center magnetometry, we are able to observe an instance of a predominantly out-of-plane ferromagetic phase near zero field, in contradiction with expectation and previous experiments on the bulk material. We attribute this to the presence of surface anisotropies arising from the sample preparation process or exposure to the ambient environment, which is expected to have more general implications for a broader class of weakly anisotropic van der Waals magnets.

description: Building on the Utiyama principle we formulate an approach to Lagrangian field theory in which exterior covariant differentials of vector-valued forms replace partial derivatives, in the sense that they take up the role played by the latter in the usual jet bundle formulation. Actually a natural Lagrangian can be written as a density on a suitable "covariant prolongation bundle"; the related momenta turn out to be natural vector-valued forms, and the field equations can be expressed in terms of covariant exterior differentials of the momenta. Currents and energy-tensors naturally also fit into this formalism. The examples of bosonic fields and spin one-half fields, interacting with non-Abelian gauge fields, are worked out. The "metric-affine" description of the gravitational field is naturally included, too.

description: This research evaluates particularities of surface structural organization of surgical samples of intracapsular distracted formations in treating post-traumatic fibrous ankylosis of proximal interphalangeal joints by means of scanning electron microscopy. The research is carried out on small-fragment samples of intracapsular formations collected in the course of treatment from 8 patients of the Microsurgical Department. Morphological evaluation of the surface of two types of samples was performed: that of proximal interphalangeal joint capsules, and of the regenerate itself. Structural analysis of the surgical samples allowed to identify considerable differences both in form and size of single structureforming elements, and in their organizational types. It was established that the regenerate has a more compact structure. In the course of microanalysis of elemental composition, it was ascertained that mass percentage of calcium and phosphorus in the examined regenerate samples is 4.4 and 2.2 times respectively higher compared to the capsule samples. These results could be used in further research into approaches to the evaluation of connective tissue regeneration after surgeries, as well as in making recommendations for operative or physiotherapeutic patient treatment in cases of joint capsule distraction.
Constraints on violation of Lorentz invariance from atmospheric showers initiated by multi-TeV photons

description: We discuss the effect of hypothetical violation of Lorentz invariance at high energies on the formation of atmospheric showers by very-high-energy gamma rays. In the scenario where Lorentz invariance violation leads to a decrease of the photon velocity with energy the formation of the showers is suppressed compared to the Lorentz invariant case. Absence of such suppression in the high-energy part of spectrum of the Crab nebula measured independently by HEGRA and H.E.S.S. collaborations is used to set lower bounds on the energy scale of Lorentz invariance violation. These bounds are competitive with the strongest existing constraints obtained from timing of variable astrophysical sources and the absorption of TeV photons on the extragalactic background light. They will be further improved by the next generation of multi-TeV gamma-ray observatories.

The influence of others on symbolic consumption: an experimental study of consumers' evaluation of destination brands
Creators: name: Grainger, Joan Christine
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: It is commonly agreed that consumer products have significance that goes far beyond their utilitarian, functional and commercial value (e.g., Levy, 1959). People engage in consumption behaviour in part to construct their self-concepts and, in doing so, to signify group affiliations and social standing. Consumers‟ leisure travel is seen as a highly symbolic form of consumption and has been little studied from an identity signalling perspective. This study has extended the knowledge of symbolic consumption by examining the mediating role of the influence of others on the self-congruity effect, in the Self-Other Congruity Model. The influence of others was examined using the social risk construct which captured the consumers concern for how others would judge their consumption choices. The model was tested using an experimental design, in the context of the evaluation of destinations for the purpose of a leisure holiday. Reference group destination brand associations were manipulated using age-based member and dissociative reference group associations. The model evaluation for both the exciting destination and sophisticated destination provided strong support for the influence of self-congruity on behavioural intentions, thereby providing added support to the notion that an individual‟s leisure travel behavior may be explained in the context of symbolic consumption. In the case of the destination with the sophisticated personality only, there was full support for the mediating influence of social risk on behavioural intentions and for a significant influence of self-congruity on social risk. This study found that age-related reference group associations (young and old tourist imagery) differently influenced perceptions of self-congruity, social risk and behaviour. It was posited the nature of the differing personalities of the destination influenced consumer perceptions and evaluations. In summary, this dissertation offers new insights into the nature of symbolic consumption through a focus on the individuals‟ need to create and express liked identities to others.

description: Particle-tracking microrheology of dilute active (self-propelled) colloidal suspensions is studied by considering the external force required to maintain the steady motion of an immersed constant-velocity colloidal probe. If the probe speed is zero, the suspension microstructure is isotropic but exhibits a boundary accumulation of active bath particles at contact due to their self-propulsion. As the probe moves through the suspension, the microstructure is distorted from the nonequilibrium isotropic state, which allows us to define a microviscosity for the suspension using the Stokes drag law. For a slow probe, we show that active suspensions exhibit a swim-thinning behavior in which their microviscosity is gradually lowered from that of passive suspensions as the swim speed increases. When the probe speed is fast, the suspension activity is obscured by the rapid advection of the probe and the measured microviscosity is indistinguishable from that of passive suspensions. Generally for finite activity, the suspension exhibits a velocity-thinning behavior -- though with a zero-velocity plateau lower than passive suspensions -- as a function of the probe speed. These behaviors originate from the interplay between the suspension activity and the hard-sphere excluded-volume interaction between the probe and a bath particle.
