description: We investigate the dielectric response in the glass-electret state of two dipolar glass-forming materials. This unusual polar glassy state of matter is produced when a dipolar liquid is supercooled under the influence of a high electric dc field, which leads to partial orientational order of the molecules carrying a dipole moment. Investigation of the prepared glass-electrets by using low-field dielectric spectroscopy reveals a clear modification of their dielectric response in the regime of the Johari-Goldstein beta-relaxation, pointing to a small but significant increase of its relaxation strength compared to the normal glass. We discuss the implications of this finding for the still controversial microscopic interpretation of the Johari-Goldstein relaxation, an inherent property of glassy matter.

description: A general formulation is developed to study heat conduction in disordered harmonic chains with arbitrary heat baths that satisfy the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. A simple formal expression for the heat current J is obtained, from which its asymptotic system-size (N) dependence is extracted. It is shown that the ``thermal conductivity'' depends not just on the system itself but also on the spectral properties of the fluctuation and noise used to model the heat baths. As special cases of our heat baths we recover earlier results which reported that for fixed boundaries $J \sim 1/N^{3/2}$, while for free boundaries $J \sim 1/N^{1/2}$. For other choices we find that one can get other power laws including the ``Fourier behaviour'' $J \sim 1/N$.

description: We propose an unsupervised beamforming neural network (BNN) and a supervised reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) convolutional neural network (CNN) to optimize transmit beamforming and RIS coefficients of multi-input single-output (MISO) downlink with RIS assistance. To avoid frequent beam updates, the proposed BNN and RIS CNN are based on slow-changing channel covariances and are different from most other neural networks that utilize channel instances. Numerical simulations show that the proposed BNN with RIS CNN can achieve much higher sum rates than zeroforcing beamforming with waterfilling power allocation does, especially for systems with higher load, and reduces computation time.

description: Comparative studies of quantitative and neutral genetic differentiation (QST-FST tests) provide means to detect adaptive population differentiation. However, QST-FST tests can be overly liberal if the markers used deflate FST below its expectation, or overly conservative if methodological biases lead to inflated FST estimates. We investigated how marker type and filtering criteria for marker selection influence QST-FST comparisons through their effects on FST using simulations and empirical data on over 18 000 in silico genotyped microsatellites and 3.8 million SNP loci from four populations of nine-spined sticklebacks (Pungitius pungitius). Empirical and simulated data revealed that FST decreased with increasing marker variability, and was generally higher with SNPs than with microsatellites. The estimated baseline FST levels were also sensitive to filtering criteria for SNPs: both minor alleles and linkage disequilibrium (LD) pruning influenced FST estimation, as did marker ascertainment. However, in the case of stickleback data used here where QST is high, the choice of marker type, their genomic location, ascertainment and filtering made little difference to outcomes of QST-FST tests. Nevertheless, we recommend that QST-FST tests using microsatellites should discard the most variable loci, and those using SNPs should pay attention to marker ascertainment and properly account for LD before filtering SNPs. This may be especially important when level of quantitative trait differentiation is low and levels of neutral differentiation high.

description: This paper presents and experimentally demonstrates a novel framework for variable assistance on lower body exoskeletons, based upon safety-critical control methods. Existing work has shown that providing some freedom of movement around a nominal gait, instead of rigidly following it, accelerates the spinal learning process of people with a walking impediment when using a lower body exoskeleton. With this as motivation, we present a method to accurately control how much a subject is allowed to deviate from a given gait while ensuring robustness to patient perturbation. This method leverages control barrier functions to force certain joints to remain inside predefined trajectory tubes in a minimally invasive way. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated experimentally with able-bodied subjects and the Atalante lower body exoskeleton.

description: When using ecological momentary assessment data (EMA), missing data is pervasive as participant attrition is a common issue. Thus, any EMA study must have a missing data plan. In this paper, we discuss missingness in time series analysis and the appropriate way to handle missing data when the data is modeled as an idiographic discrete time continuous measure state-space model. We found that Missing Completely At Random, Missing At Random, and Time-dependent Missing At Random data have less bias and variability than Autoregressive Time-dependent Missing At Random and Missing Not At Random. The Kalman filter excelled at handling missing data under most conditions. Contrary to the literature, we found that, using a variety of methods, multiple imputation struggled to recover the parameters.

description: Ridge detection is a classical tool to extract curvilinear features in image processing. As such, it has great promise in applications to material science problems; specifically, for trend filtering relatively stable atom-shaped objects in image sequences, such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) videos. Standard analysis of TEM videos is limited to frame-by-frame object recognition. We instead harness temporal correlation across frames through simultaneous analysis of long image sequences, specified as a spatio-temporal image tensor. We define new ridge detection algorithms to non-parametrically estimate explicit trajectories of atomic-level object locations as a continuous function of time. Our approach is specially tailored to handle temporal analysis of objects that seemingly stochastically disappear and subsequently reappear throughout a sequence. We demonstrate that the proposed method is highly effective and efficient in simulation scenarios, and delivers notable performance improvements in TEM experiments compared to other material science benchmarks.

description: It was recently shown that, in general, the von Neumann spin entropy of fermionic particles is not invariant under Lorentz boosts. We show that an analogous result can be recovered (at the lowest order of $v^2 /c^2$) using plain nonrelativistic quantum mechanics provided one uses that energy weighs: $E=m c^2$. This should (i) help to moderate the skepticism on the observer-dependence of the spin entropy of fermionic particles, (ii) emphasize the soft relativistic nature of this result, and (iii) show that this is a particular case of a more general class of systems, since our calculation only assumes a nonrelativistic particle endowed with an internal degree of freedom.

description: C. difficile infections (CDI) are increasingly recognized as a leading cause of infectious diarrhea, with increasing morbidity and mortality. Treatment primarily centers around oral vancomycin treatment. A wide range of dosing regimens exist in clinical practice, with little evidence to help distinguish the therapeutic benefit between them. This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at an academic medical center that enrolled adult patients admitted with CDI. The primary outcome was a composite of complete or partial cure at the end of treatment and was assessed using a test of equivalency with a 20% equivalency limit. Subjects were divided into low dose (125 mg) or high dose (250 mg or 500 mg) of oral vancomycin dosed every 6 hours. Overall, 78 patients were included who received low dose vancomycin and 33 who received high dose. Generally, the two groups were similar, except the low dose group had significantly more leukocytosis and less ICU admission or hypotension compared to the high dose group. Equivalency between the two treatment groups was demonstrated (Absolute Risk Difference −0.022, 90% confidence interval: −0.13 to 0.18, p = 0.03). A stepwise logistic regression identified gender, baseline albumin, and ICU admission as significant predictors of the chance for complete or partial cure. No differences between groups for the secondary outcomes of 90-day readmission/recurrence, 30-day all-cause mortality, or time to resolution of diarrhea were demonstrated. Low dose oral vancomycin was demonstrated to result in equivalent outcomes compared to high dose vancomycin for the treatment of CDI.

description: The design of superconducting applications containing windings of superconducting wires or tapes requires electro-thermal quench modelling. In this article, we present a reliable numerical method based on a variational principle and we benchmark it to a conventional finite difference method that we implemented in C++. As benchmark problem, we consider a racetrack coil made of REBCO superconducting tape under short circuit, approximated as a DC voltage that appears at the initial time. Results show that both models agree with each other and analytical limits. Since both models take screening currents into account, they are promising for the design of magnets (especially fast-ramp magnets) and power applications, such as the stator windings of superconducting motors or generators.

description: The magnetic properties of the interacting dimer system TlCuCl3 are investigated within a bond-operator formulation. The observed field-induced staggered magnetic order perpendicular to the field is described as a Bose condensation of magnons which are linear combinations of dimer singlet and triplet modes. This technique accounts for the magnetization curve and for the field dependence of the magnon dispersion curves observed by high-field neutron scattering measurements.

description: Topological quantum error correction based on the manipulation of the anyonic defects constitutes one of the most promising frameworks towards realizing fault-tolerant quantum devices. Hence, it is crucial to understand how these defects interact with external defects such as boundaries or domain walls. Motivated by this line of thought, in this work, we study the fusion events between anyons in the bulk and at the boundary in fixed-point models of 2+1-dimensional non-chiral topological order defined by arbitrary fusion categories. Our construction uses generalized tube algebra techniques to construct a bi-representation of bulk and boundary defects. We explicitly derive a formula to calculate the fusion multiplicities of a bulk-to-boundary fusion event for twisted quantum double models and calculate some exemplary fusion events for Abelian models and the (twisted) quantum double model of S3, the simplest non-Abelian group-theoretical model. Moreover, we use the folding trick to study the anyonic behavior at non-trivial domain walls between twisted S3 and twisted Z2 as well as Z3 models. A recurring theme in our construction is an isomorphism relating twisted cohomology groups to untwisted ones. The results of this work can directly be applied to study logical operators in two-dimensional topological error correcting codes with boundaries described by a twisted gauge theory of a finite group.

description: The spirit of "blockchain technology" is a distributed database in which saved data is transparent, accountable, public, immutable, and traceable. This base-level disruptive technology can boost the security and privacy-related efficiency of various domains. As Bangladesh is currently aiming for sustainable development, blockchain technology adoption by local researchers is growing robustly. However, in Bangladesh, the blockchain Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is not yet well structured which is also limiting the perspective of local developers and researchers. Therefore, sectors like governance, healthcare, security, privacy, farming, information authentication, cryptocurrencies, internet architecture, data, and so on are unable to utilize the full potential of this technology. In this research, the authors conduct an in-depth review of such types of blockchain technology-related research articles that have been published recently and are also solely focused on Bangladesh. From 5 publishers (IEEE Xplore, ACM, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, and SpringerLink) this study analyses 70 articles published during the year 2016-2020. The study results find the top 13 sectors where Bangladeshi researchers are currently focusing on. Those studies identify that the rigid policy by the government, scarcity of expert researchers, and lack of resources are the main reasons why Bangladesh is still struggling to accommodate blockchain extensively. In addition, published papers are mostly based on theoretical concepts without an appropriate implementation. Finally, this study will be a great resource to the developers, entrepreneurs, and technology enthusiasts to determine the strategic plan for adopting blockchain technology in Bangladesh or even in any other developing country.

description: The channel impulse response (CIR) obtained from the channel estimation step of various wireless systems is a widely used source of information in wireless sensing. Breathing rate is one of the important vital signs that can be retrieved from the CIR. Recently, there have been various works that extract the breathing rate from one carefully selected CIR delay bin that contains the breathing information. However, it has also been shown that the accuracy of this estimation is very sensitive to the measurement scenario, e.g., if there is any obstacle between the transceivers and the target, the position of the target, and the orientation of the target, since only one CIR delay bin does not contain a sufficient periodic component to retrieve the breathing rate. We focus on such scenarios and propose a CIR delay bin fusion method to merge several CIR bins to achieve a more accurate and reliable breathing rate estimate. We take measurements and showcase the advantages of the proposed method across scenarios.

description: The study undertakes to determine poverty trend among the lower class households during the last five years in a rural area of Bangladesh. A sample of size 80 lower class households was selected from two villages of Sherpur District in Bangladesh. The finding shows that the yearly average income and expenditure of the households were Tk 30912.50 and Tk. 25925, respectively. The change of the socioeconomic status of the lower class households has played an important role on changing pattern of poverty. Occupation of the respondent was significantly associated with change in poverty situation. A shift from lower level to higher level of a characteristic indicates, as a whole, the community has experienced a positive change in their livelihood. In statistical analysis, binary logistic regression model was fitted best. Among the occupation categories handicrafts seemed to help overcome the poverty situation more than business. Respondents involved in handicrafts were 3.673 times more likely to have a positive change in poverty situation compared to those involved in business. The result further suggests that respondents involved in agriculture were 96% significantly less likely to gain positive change than respondents involved in business and other activities. Findings of the study suggest that government should provide different types of facilities to rural lower class people and increase employment opportunities emphasizing more in handicrafts including handicrafts training.

description: PrCo$_2$Ga$_8$ is an orthorhombic quasi-skutterudite type compound which crystallizes in the CaCo$_2$Al$_8$ structure type, with space group $Pbam$ (No. 55). The Pr$^{3+}$ ion has a site symmetry of $C_s$ which predicts a crystal electric field (CEF) level splitting into 9 singlets for $J$ = 4. However, a phase transition at $T_m$ = 1.28~K is observed in electrical resistivity and specific heat results and is reported in this paper. The electrical resistivity shows an upturn below $T_m$ due to the superzone-gap formation. This transition is tuneable in fields and is suppressed to lower temperatures with applied magnetic fields. The electronic specific heat $C_{p}(T)/T$ increases below $T_m$ and reaches a value of 7.37 J/(mol K$^2$) at 0.4~K. The Sommerfeld coefficient, $γ$ extracted from the low temperature analysis of $C_\mathrm{4f}(T)/T$ is 637 mJ/(mol K$^2$) indicating a possible mass enhancement of the quasiparticles. The calculated entropy value of 3.05 J/(mol K) is recovered around $T_m$ exhibiting almost 53% of Rln2, where R is the universal gas constant. Magnetic susceptibility results obeys the Curie-Weiss law for data above 100 K with an estimated effective magnetic moment, $μ_\mathrm{eff}$ = 3.37 $μ_B$/Pr and Weiss temperature, $θ_p$ = $-$124 K.

description: Adjustment into a new culture is of crucial importance for the immigrants to lead a meaningful life in that culture. The present study investigates the adjustment experiences of Bangladeshi immigrants in the Netherlands by exploring and describing the nature of psychological, socio-cultural, and economic adjustment. Participants were 14 Bangladeshi immigrants aged between 29 and 62 years who were selected through snowball sampling technique, were directly or indirectly related with restaurant business and had been residing in the Netherlands for at least five years. A qualitative approach to data collection and analysis was employed in order to get insights from the study participants. For collecting data, in-depth interviews were conducted among the study participants. Data analysis was done with the use of MAXQDA qualitative data analysis software. Examination of the interview transcripts revealed that the immigrants are psychologically happy with their well-being, as almost all of their expectations have been fulfilled despite some problems of cultural differences. Bangladeshi immigrants maintain socio-cultural relationship with the people sufficient to lead normal daily lives as they do hardly face any problem. However, there interaction with Dutch is limited. Though they are not completely happy with their busy lives in the Netherlands, they feel better here compared to Bangladesh. They are economically adjusted because of the fulfilment of their economic expectations. Several practical implications were elicited from the research including a need for programmes that promote immigrants’ integration with the mainstream of the Dutch society by encouraging the broadening of social relationship.

description: It is proved that the decrease of the quantum relative entropy under action of a quantum operation is a lower semicontinuous function of a pair of its arguments. This property implies, in particular, that the local discontinuity jumps of the quantum relative entropy do not increase under action of quantum operations. It implies also the lower semicontinuity of the modulus of the joint convexity of the quantum relative entropy (as a function of ensembles of quantum states).
 Various corollaries and applications of these results are considered.

description: The random phase approximation (RPA) has received a considerable interest in the field of modeling systems where noncovalent interactions are important. Its advantages over widely used density functional theory (DFT) approximations are the exact treatment of exchange and the description of long-range correlation. In this work we address two open questions related to RPA. First, how accurately RPA describes nonadditive interactions encountered in many-body expansion of a binding energy. We consider three-body nonadditive energies in molecular and atomic clusters. Second, how does the accuracy of RPA depend on input provided by different DFT models, without resorting to selfconsistent RPA procedure which is currently impractical for calculations employing periodic boundary conditions. We find that RPA based on the SCAN0 and PBE0 models, i.e., hybrid DFT, achieves an overall accuracy between CCSD and MP3 on a dataset of molecular trimers of Řezáč et al. (J. Chem. Theory. Comput. 2015, 11, 3065) Finally, many-body expansion for molecular clusters and solids often leads to a large number of small contributions that need to be calculated with a high precision. We therefore present a cubic-scaling (or SCF-like) implementation of RPA in atomic basis set, which is designed for calculations with a high numerical precision.

description: Single crystals of the relaxor PZN-xPT display an enormously strong piezoelectric character. Recent x-ray scattering studies have revealed novel electric-field induced phase transitions in PZN-8%PT. As-grown crystals exhibit a rhombohedral structure that, under application of an electric field oriented along [001], transforms into a monoclinic (MA) phase, and then irreversibly to another monoclinic (MC) phase with increasing field strength. Since the latter phase change is very unusual, its transition sequence has been investigated by using triple-axis neutron scattering techniques so that the ``skin effect'' observed by x-ray scattering can be avoided, and the entire crystal bulk is probed. Contour maps of the elastic scattering have been mapped out in each phase in the (HOL) zone with high q-resolution. Increasing the field strength within the MC phase induces a sharp c-axis jump around 15 kV/cm. This jump was observed easily with x-rays in previous studies, but it was not observed in 5 different crystals examined with neutrons. A subsequent high-energy x-ray study of the same crystals showed that the c-axis jump is distributed within the crystal volume, thereby washing out the jump. The observed R-MA-MC transformational path is in perfect accord with very recent first principles calculations by Bellaiche, Garcia, and Vanderbilt in the PZT system.

description: In this article, we show super-rigidity of Gromov's random monster group. We prove that any morphism $ϕ_α$ from Gromov's random monster group $Γ_α$ to the group $G$ has finite image for almost all $α$, where $G$ is any of the following types of groups: mapping class group $MCG(S_{g,b})$, braid group $B_n$, outer automorphism group of a free group $Out(F_N)$, automorphism group of a free group $Aut(F_N)$, hierarchically hyperbolic group, a-$L^p$-menable group or K-amenable group. We introduce another property called hereditary super-rigidity and prove that $Γ_α$ has hereditary super-rigidity with respect to an a-$L^p$-menable group or a K-amenable group. We also establish a stability theorem for the groups with respect to which $Γ_α$ has super-rigidity and hereditary super-rigidity.

description: Shrimp is an important fisheries resource in the national economy of Bangladesh. It is considered as an exportable item and in each year it shared about 2.75% of the total export earning of Bangladesh. The present study was conducted to examine the marketing system and value chain, and marketing efficiency of shrimp marketed both in domestic and export market. For this study a total of 182 stakeholders (market intermediaries) were selected where shrimp farmers, export oriented farms, depot owners and other market participants and selling agents were included. Data were collected for the period of 2012-13. The study revealed that 80% shrimp is exported and rest 20% is consumed in the local market. Usually shrimp is exported through exporting agencies and firms. Considering all kinds of market, the average gross marketing margin and profit of shrimp in the local market were Tk 171.00/kg and Tk 134.04/kg respectively but for export market, the corresponding amounts were Tk 142.76/kg and Tk 89.51/kg respectively. Shrimp is sold both in domestic and overseas market and accordingly major supply chain and value chain were identified. Shrimp farmers and exporting agencies supply shrimp to ultimate consumers through supply chain. Actually value chain actors added value at each level of market. After processing and adding value, domestic and overseas consumers purchase 1 kg of shrimp at Tk 55.00 and Tk 142.76 respectively. Marketing efficiency was studied only for domestic market. It revealed that shorter supply channel resulted efficient marketing of shrimp where the shrimp producer received the higher percentages of sales price provided by the retailer in consumer market.

description: We investigate how the properties of Galactic giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and their denser substructures (clumps) correlate with the local star formation rate. We trace clouds using the $^{12}$CO(3-2) transition, as observed by the CO High Resolution Survey (COHRS). We identify their constituent clumps using thermal dust emission, as observed by the Herschel infrared GALactic plane survey (Hi-GAL). We estimate star formation rates in these clouds using 70 $μ$m emission. In total, we match 3,674 clumps to 473 clouds in position-position-velocity space spanning the Galactic longitude range $10^\circ

description: We address routing of classical and quantum information over quantum network, and show how to exploit chirality to achieve nearly optimal and robust transport. In particular, we prove how continuous time chiral quantum walks over a minimal graph may be used to model directional transfer and routing of information over a network. At first, we show how classical information, encoded onto an excitation localized at one vertex of a simple graph, may be sent to any other chosen location with nearly unit fidelity by tuning a single phase. Then, we prove that high-fidelity transport is also possible for coherent superpositions of states, i.e. for routing of quantum information. Furthermore, we show that by tuning the phase parameter one obtains universal quantum routing, i.e. indipendent on the input state. In our scheme, chirality is governed by a single phase, and the routing probability is robust against fluctuations of this parameter. Finally, we address characterization of quantum routers and show how to exploit the self energies of the graph to achieve high precision in estimating the phase parameter.

description: Volatile organic molecules formed by photochemistry in the upper atmosphere of Titan can undergo condensation as pure ices in the stratosphere and the troposphere as well as condense as ice layers onto the organic aerosols that are visible as the haze layers of Titan. As solar photons penetrate through Titan s atmosphere, shorter-wavelength photons are attenuated and longerwavelength photons make it into the lower altitudes, where aerosols become abundant. We conducted an experimental study to evaluate the long wavelength ( > 300 nm) photo-reactivity of these ices accreted on the Titan aerosol-analogs (also known as tholins) made in the laboratory. We have focused on acetylene, the third most abundant hydrocarbon in Titan s atmosphere after CH4 and C2H6. Further, acetylene is the most abundant unsaturated hydrocarbon in Titan s atmosphere. Our results indicate that the aerosols can act as activation centers to drive the photoreactivity of acetylene with the aerosols at the accretion interface at wavelengths where acetylene-ice alone does not show photoreactivity. We found that along with photochemistry, photodesorption plays an important role. We observed that about 15% of the initial acetylene is photodesorbed, with a photodesorption rate of (2.1 +/- 0.2) x 10-6 molecules.photon-1 at 355 nm. This photodesorption is wavelength-dependent, confirming that it is mediated by the UV absorption of the aerosol analogues, similar to photochemistry. We conclude that the UV-Vis properties of aerosols would determine how they evolve further in Titan s atmosphere and on the surface through photochemical alterations involving longer wavelength photons.
