description: The key to explaining a wide range of quantum phenomena is understanding how entanglement propagates around many-body systems. Furthermore, the controlled distribution of entanglement is of fundamental importance for quantum communication and computation. In many situations, quasiparticles are the carriers of information around a quantum system and are expected to distribute entanglement in a fashion determined by the system interactions. Here we report on the observation of magnon quasiparticle dynamics in a one-dimensional many-body quantum system of trapped ions representing an Ising spin model. Using the ability to tune the effective interaction range, and to prepare and measure the quantum state at the individual particle level, we observe new quasiparticle phenomena. For the first time, we reveal the entanglement distributed by quasiparticles around a many-body system. Second, for long-range interactions we observe the divergence of quasiparticle velocity and breakdown of the light-cone picture that is valid for short-range interactions. Our results will allow experimental studies of a wide range of phenomena, such as quantum transport, thermalisation, localisation and entanglement growth, and represent a first step towards a new quantum-optical regime with on-demand quasiparticles with tunable non-linear interactions.

description: Copper is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in the body, which in the event of an increase it can be toxic to the body. The concentration of copper in the blood is very important. In the present study, a surface-modified glass electrode bead on Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is presented and used for rapid, simple, selective and highly sensitive determination of copper using differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry. A novel Zn-based metal-organic framework, (Zn-TMU-24) through a solvothermal method, is constructed and investigated by different spectra such as FT-IR, SEM and TGA. Then, the Zn-TMU-24 is conjugated with PABA via electrochemical polymerisation to form PABA-MOF on surface glass electrode. The amide-functionalised groups in the structure of PABA-MOF have provided a potential for chemical interaction with a metal ion Cu2+, and used for the fast detection of Cu2+ in milk and milk powder as real samples. The interaction between the proposed Zn- TMU-24 and Cu2+ was characterised by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The calibration plot is linear in the concentration range of 0.05 to 250 nM with detection limit of 0.014 nM. The excellent stability of the proposed electrode was observed. The proposed sensor was successfully applied to the analysis of milk and milk powder samples.

description: It has been demonstrated that InSb nanoinclusions, which are formed in situ, can simultaneously improve all three individual thermoelectric properties of the n-type half Heusler compound (Ti,Zr,Hf)(Co,Ni)Sb [Xie et al., Acta Mater. 58, 4795 (2010)]. In the work presented herein, we have adopted the same approach to the p-type half Heusler compound Ti(Co,Fe)Sb. The results of resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity, and Hall coefficient measurements indicate that the combined high mobility electron injection, low energy electron filtering, and boundary scattering, again, lead to a simultaneous improvement of all three individual thermoelectric properties: enhanced Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity as well as reduced lattice thermal conductivity. A figure of merit of ZT=0.33 was attained at 900 K for the sample containing 1 atomic percent InSb nanoinclusions, a 450 percent improvement over the nanoinclusion-free sample. This represents a rare case that the same nanostructuring approach successfully works for both p-type and n-type thermoelectric materials of the same class, hence pointing to a promising materials design route for higher performance half-Heusler materials in the future and hopefully will realize similar improvement in TE devices based on such half Heusler alloys.

description: The effects of a stochastic reset, to its initial configuration, is studied in the exactly solvable one-dimensional coagulation-diffusion process. A finite resetting rate leads to a modified non-equilibrium stationary state. If in addition the input of particles at a fixed given rate is admitted, a competition between the resetting and the input rates leads to a non-trivial behaviour of the particle-density in the stationary state. From the exact inter-particle probability distribution, a simple physical picture emerges: the reset mainly changes the behaviour at larger distance scales, while at smaller length scales, the non-trivial correlation of the model without a reset dominates.

description: An efficient sample preparation method has been developed for the simultaneous analysis of amitraz, fipronil, fipronil sulfone, carbaryl and cypermethrin in egg based on in-syringe dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. In this process, the sample is transferred into a glass test tube and suitable volumes of zinc acetate solution and choline chloride-ascorbic acid deep eutectic solvent are added to the tube and the mixture is sonicated. After centrifugation, the separated phase is mixed with deionised water to decrease its viscosity. Then, it is mixed with a ternary deep eutectic solvent (choline chloride-acetic acid-n-octanol) and dispersed into deionised water filled into barrel of a syringe.The method has low limits of detection (0.70–2.4 ng g−1) and quantification (2.3–8.0 ng g–1), good linearity (r2 ≥ 0.9968), and satisfactory repeatability (relative standard deviation ≤ 11% for intra–(n = 6) and inter-day (n = 5) precisions). Finally, the proposed method was applied on different egg samples and cypermethrin and fipronil sulfone were found in three of them.

description: "Ross Perot. The billionaire. The presidential candidate. The man who made three references to the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny in a recent debate with the Vice President. However one chooses to think of him, Ross Perot is an amazing individual. He simply did not exist as a national political figure two years ago. Yet his simple, down-to-earth approach to economics and government ("just plain talk"), his successful business background, and his stated desire to "do what's right for my country" landed him nearly 20 million votes in last year's presidential election —19 percent of the electorate — without the support of any major party (Fineman 34). A year later he remains the most potent political force in the United States outside the Beltway. This kind of popularity by a single, independent individual is unusual, to say the least.
But contrary to Perot's own often used expression, it's just not that simple. Ross Perot is a skilled political operator, to be sure, but there are larger social, political, and economic forces sustaining his popularity. White House pollster Stan Greenberg is right when he says that Perot is largely a creation of the voters. The Texas billionaire has reached his current level of popularity because the public is dissatisfied with the nation's leadership."--from page 3

description: Given the amount of untreated sewage released into the environment and possible consequences, new methodologies are required for the detection and quantification of potential pollutants found in sediment samples, including faecal contamination. Solid matrix extraction methodologies (e.g. Soxhlet extraction) are generally laborious and require the use of large amounts of solvents, which is inconsistent with the principles of green chemistry. In this study,a simple, robust and efficient analytical method for the determination of faecal sterols in sediment samples using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) followed by pre-concentration with disposable pipette extraction (DPX) was developed. Multivariate experimental designs were used for the optimisation of the extraction parameters for the UAE and DPX procedures. The separation and detection of the analytes were conducted by GC-MS. Dichloromethane was used as the extraction solvent in the UAE. The DPX procedure was conducted applying 5 cycles of extraction with 700 µL of sample (10 s each) and 2 cycles of desorption with 200 µL of solvent (20 s each). The optimised desorption solvent was a mixture composed of ethyl acetate:acetonitrile (60:40 v/v). The limits of detection were 7.6 µg kg−1 for cholesterol and 75 µg kg−1 for cholestanol, coprostanol and stigmasterol and the limits of quantification were 25 µg kg−1 for cholesterol and 250 µg kg−1 for the other analytes. Relative recovery was evaluated for 3 levels of concentration and the results ranged from 78% to 114%. The precision was evaluated through intra-day (n = 3) and inter-day (n = 9) tests, and the ranges observed were 0.5–10%and 2–16%, respectively. The results demonstrate that this effective and fast method shows potential for the determination of faecal contaminants in sediments.

description: This paper explores the intellectual, political, and economic dynamics that led to one of the most significant events in the history of the press: the demise of the Licensing Act in 1695. It argues that the downfall of the Licensing Act in 1695 was primarily driven not by shifts in arguments but by transformations in the political economy and structure, which facilitated a more favorable reception of longstanding arguments and information. The most significant changes in the political economy that altered the perception of press regulations were the shifting views on the Crown's authority to grant exclusive economic privileges and the establishment of public credit institutions, such as the Bank of England, after 1694. These institutions relied on government transparency and the freer and broader dissemination of reliable information. Consequently, the restraints imposed by the Licensing Act became more detrimental than advantageous, rendering long-standing intellectual arguments against press restraints more favorably received.

description: The quantitation of nutrient species in the saline water of the Lagos Lagoon was carried out using flow injection analysis (FIA). Due to the Schlieren effect (SE), occasioned by the formation of frontal and rear negative peaks, modified reverse flow injection (rFI) methods were developed for the quantitation. Water samples were collected at 10 sites on and around the Lagoon from 2012 to 2015 and oxidised with acidic potassium persulphate. To eliminate the SE, acid-molybdate reagent was injected into a 36.4 g L−1 salinity carrier in the P manifold, and N-(1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine reagent (NINE) was injected into a 0.16 g L−1 salinity carrier in the N manifold. In both manifolds, the reagent-injection volume was 100 µL. Good turnover rates of 90 h−1 and 120 h−1 were attained for N and total-soluble/total P analysis, respectively. The method detection limit for phosphate-P analysis was 53 µg L−1 while that of nitrate-N analysis was 0.10 mg L−1. The accuracies were within 7% as the average recoveries of PO43–P and NO3–N were 107% and 95%, respectively, in spiked blanks. At the top layer of the Lagoon water, the range of [NO3−+NO2−]-N was 0.16 to 0.50 mg L−1 while the soluble reactive P (SRP) was undetectable to 796 µg L−1. Total N (TN) ranged from 1.69 to 21.0 mg L−1 and total P (TP) was 0.13 to 3.94 mg L−1. The study showed that the nutrient limitation (N/P) in the Lagos Lagoon was controlled by rainwater runoff owing to the increased delivery of P to it in the wet season. The distribution of nitrate-N species lacked significant, spatial and temporal variation. Also, the increasing concentration of SRP species viewed against the population density of dwellers around the sites hints at anthropogenic influence.

description: The background dynamical evolution of a universe filled with matter and a cosmological scalar field is analyzed employing dynamical system techniques. After the phenomenology of a canonical scalar field with exponential potential is revised, square and square root kinetic corrections to the scalar field canonical Lagrangian are considered and the resulting dynamics at cosmological distances is obtained and studied. These noncanonical cosmological models imply new interesting phenomenology including early time matter dominated solutions, cosmological scaling solutions and late time phantom dominated solutions with dynamical crossing of the phantom barrier. Stability and viability issues for these scalar fields are presented and discussed.

Low-latitude coronal holes, decaying active regions and global coronal magnetic structure

description: We study the relationship between decaying active region magnetic fields, coronal holes and the global coronal magnetic structure using Global Oscillations Network Group (GONG) synoptic magnetograms, Solar Terrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) extreme ultra-violet (EUV) synoptic maps and coronal potential-field source-surface (PFSS) models. We analyze 14 decaying regions and associated coronal holes occurring between early 2007 and late 2010, four from cycle 23 and 10 from cycle 24. We investigate the relationship between asymmetries in active regions' positive and negative magnetic intensities, asymmetric magnetic decay rates, flux imbalances, global field structure and coronal hole formation. Whereas new emerging active regions caused changes in the large-scale coronal field, the coronal fields of the 14 decaying active regions only opened under the condition that the global coronal structure remained almost unchanged. This was because the dominant slowly-varying, low-order multipoles prevented opposing-polarity fields from opening and the remnant active-region flux preserved the regions' low-order multipole moments long after the regions had decayed. Thus the polarity of each coronal hole necessarily matched the polar field on the side of the streamer belt where the corresponding active region decayed. For magnetically isolated active regions initially located within the streamer belt, the more intense polarity generally survived to form the hole. For non-isolated regions, flux imbalance and topological asymmetry prompted the opposite to occur in some cases.

We collected data spanning several modulation cycles and started a detailed analysis. The first results indicate that the star shows both amplitude and phase modulations with an average period of 1204 days, but both the cycle length and the strength of the modulation are subjected to considerable variations. A possible quintuplet component in the Fourier spectrum and additional period changes were also detected.

description: In this paper, a new method for dynamic balancing of double four-bar crank slider mechanism by meta- heuristic-based optimization algorithms is proposed. For this purpose, a proper objective function which is necessary for balancing of this mechanism and corresponding constraints has been obtained by dynamic modeling of the mechanism. Then PSO, ABC, BGA and HGAPSO algorithms have been applied for minimizing the defined cost function in optimization step. The optimization results have been studied completely by extracting the cost function, fitness, convergence speed and runtime values of applied algorithms. It has been shown that PSO and ABC are more efficient than BGA and HGAPSO in terms of convergence speed and result quality. Also, a laboratory scale experimental doublefour-bar crank-slider mechanism was provided for validating the proposed balancing method practically.

description: This study evaluates and compares several machine learning methods on the effects of different parameters in lead adsorption capacity. pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage and initial lead concentration were considered as inputs and adsorption capacity was regarded as output. For analysing the input parameters, the response surface methodology was used for experimental designs and the obtained results were utilised here as training sets. Various data mining approaches like support vector machine (SVM), group method of data handling (GMDH), decision tree, random forest, radial basis function (RBF), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network were implemented to model the problem and two different optimisation techniques named bat algorithm (BAT) and Grasshopper Optimisation Algorithm (GOA) were employed with MLP and ANFIS model for optimising. By comparing different statistical parameters such as Average Absolute Relative Deviation (AARD), coefficient of determination (R2), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Standard Deviation (SD), it is found out that SVM method has a considerably better performance relative to other methods for estimating adsorption capacity parameter. Furthermore, coupling of MLP and ANFIS with GOA increases the accuracy of these models.

description: We explore the possibility of experimentally detecting a predicted $h_1 ~[I^G(J^{PC})=0^-(1^{+-})]$ state of hidden charm made out from the $D^* \bar D^*$ interaction. The method consists in measuring the decay of X(4660) into $ηD^* \bar D^*$, determining the binding energy with respect to the $D^* \bar D^*$ threshold from the shape of the $D^* \bar D^*$ invariant mass distribution. A complementary method consists in looking at the inclusive $X(4660) \to ηX$ decay, searching for a peak in the $X$ invariant mass distribution given by the missing X(4660), $η$ mass. We make calculations to determine the partial decay width of $X(4660) \to ηh_1$ from the measured $X(4660) \to ηD^* \bar D^*$ distribution. This estimation should serve in an experiment to foresee the possibility of detecting the $h_1$ state on top of the background of inclusive events.

description: A green mode of simultaneous homogeneous liquid–liquid microextraction combined with dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction assisted by sodium sulphate has been developed for the extraction and pre-concentration of some phthalate esters and di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate from different aqueous samples prior to their determination by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In this method, an appropriate mixture of sodium sulphate solution (phase separation agent and disperser solvent) containing iso-propanol (extraction solvent) is hastily injected into an aqueous solution containing sodium sulphate and selected analytes. By doing so, the extractant is dispersed as tiny droplets into the aqueous phase. After centrifuging extractant containing the analytes is collected on the top of the aqueous phase. Under the optimum conditions, limits of detection and quantification were obtained in the ranges of 14–33, and 47–110 ng L–1, respectively. The enrichment factors and extraction recoveries of the phthalate esters ranged from 395 to 470 and 79–94%, respectively.

description: Achieving the Dream (ATD) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving outcomes among community college students, especially low-income students and students of color. A central ATD strategy is to promote a “culture of evidence,” in which colleges collect, analyze, and make decisions based on information about students in order to inform improvements in practice. This report examines the use of data on students by faculty, administrators, and student services staff at six Washington State colleges that joined ATD in 2006–2007. Surveys were administered to faculty and administrators in 2007 and to faculty, administrators, and student services staff in 2010. We analyzed the survey data in order to understand differences in data use between the three groups (faculty, administrators, and student services staff) and to understand whether there were changes in the frequency and extent of data use between the two survey waves at the participating colleges.
The following are the main findings of our analysis: Administrators were more frequent and intensive users of student outcomes data and research from their college than faculty or student services staff. Most faculty and student services staff did not examine student progression or use outcomes data on a regular basis. Although the frequency with which faculty used data on student progression and completion did not increase between the two waves of the survey, their use of data to inform teachingrelated decisions did increase. Most faculty did not use administrative data, such as data from their college’s student information system. Faculty members’ use of data was correlated with their department’s use of data.
Overall, there was broad use of data by administrators and of certain types of data by faculty and student services staff, but there remain opportunities for increasing the use of student data in the Washington State ATD colleges. To further promote the use of data in support of improved student success, ATD colleges in Washington State and elsewhere should consider ways to better connect the data collected and reported to the primary focus of faculty on instruction, and they should consider ways to engage student services staff more in the use of data on student progression, given their interest in student retention.

description: We performed a thorough analysis of the star formation activity in the young massive galaxy cluster RXJ1257+4738 at z=0.866, with emphasis on the relationship between the local environment of the cluster galaxies and their star formation activity. We present an optical and IR study that benefited from the large amount of data available for this cluster, including new OSIRIS/GTC and Herschel imaging observations. Using a optical-to-NIR multi-wavelength catalogue, we measured photometric redshifts through a chi2 SED-fitting procedure. We implemented a reliable and carefully chosen cluster membership selection criterion including Monte Carlo simulations and derived a sample of 292 reliable cluster member galaxies for which we measured the following properties: optical colours, stellar masses, ages, ultraviolet luminosities and local densities. Using the MIPS 24um and Herschel data, we measured total IR luminosities and SFR. Of the sample of 292 cluster galaxies, 38 show FIR emission with an SFR between 0.5 and 45 Msun/yr. The spatial distribution of the FIR emitters within the cluster density map and the filament-like overdensities observed suggest that RXJ1257 is not virialised, but is in the process of assembly. The average star formation as a function of the cluster environment parametrised by the local density of galaxies does not show any clear trend. However, the fraction of SF galaxies unveils that the cluster intermediate-density regions is preferred for the SF activity to enhance, since we observe a significant increase of the FIR-emitter fraction in this environment. Focusing on the optically red SF galaxies, we can support the interpretation of this population as dusty red galaxies, since we observe an appreciable difference in their extinction compared with the blue population.

description: Compacta X and Y are said to admit a stable intersection in R^n if there are maps f : X -> R^n and g : Y -> R^n such that for every sufficiently close continuous approximations f' : X -> R^n and g' : Y -> R^n of f and g we have f'(X)\cap g'(Y)\neq\emptyset. The well-known conjecture asserting that X and Y do not admit a stable intersection in R^n if and only if dim X \times Y \leq n-1 was confirmed in many cases. In this paper we prove this conjecture in all the remaining cases except the case dim X =dim Y =3, dim X \times Y=4 and n=5 which still remains open.

A Call to Arms for the Fairness Doctrine

description: "Thus, it is no surprise that the recent media hype surrounding the debate over the reinstitution of the Fairness Doctrine has provoked concerns over the sanctity of free speech. Repealed in 1987, the doctrine decrees that the electronic media have a responsibility to air issues of public importance and in doing so must provide a balanced discussion of contrasting viewpoints. The opponents to the Fairness Doctrine relentlessly argue that any government intervention of the press will severely encroach upon First Amendment rights. They have labeled its proponents—conspicuous among them Senator Ernest Hollings and Representative Edward Markey—as leaders of a "Hush Rush" movement to restrict free speech and accomplish their own political agendas.
But hidden from our ken in this so-called "war against the Big Brother" of government are the covert atrocities of the media that skillfully betray our faith in the freedom of the press and exploit its power as the conduit of public information to propagate their own interests.."--from page 25

description: Introduction: There is a long and complex history of migration from Ireland to Britain. However both the impact of migration and dislocation, and the reasons for leaving Ireland mean that this population in Britain require a specific focus as a group in terms of mental health and wellbeing. The aging male population in particular experience a greater burden of socioeconomic and health issues compared to those born in Britain, and experience higher levels of mental health issues. There is currently a gap in the research in terms of eliciting personal accounts from this population and examining this through a psychological or mental health lens. Methods: Five semi-structured interviews were carried out with older Irish men living in London, recruited through an organisation that supports this population. Interviews were analysed using thematic and performative narrative analysis. Results: Findings suggested that these men storied their experiences in unique ways according to their personal, social, and cultural contexts. The narrative accounts explored demonstrate a focus on stories around work, labour, masculinity, place in the community, bodies and disabilities, and migration and home. The performative analysis applied to the interviews illuminates the multiple and dynamic ways in which participants story their lives and identities. Discussion: These findings were discussed in relation to relevant literature on mental health, general health, and community. The findings were also discussed in terms of their implications for and applications to the field of clinical psychology and the therapeutic encounter in general.

description: This is my contribution to Proceedings of II Russian-Spanish Congress on Particle and Nuclear Physics at all Scales and Cosmology, Saint Petersburg, Russia, October 1 - 4, 2013. We give a brief overview of the ghost-free massive and bimetric gravity emphasising its non-perturbative aspects and ADM approach to calculating the precise number of degrees of freedom. To the standard material, we add some thoughts concerning existence and uniqueness problems of matrix square roots in non-perturbative metric formulations of massive gravity.

Probable alpha and $14$^C cluster emission from hyper Ac nuclei

description: A systematic study on the probability for the emission of 4^He and 14^C cluster from hyper ${207-234}^$Ac and non-strange normal ${207-234}^$Ac nuclei are performed for the first time using our fission model, the Coulomb and proximity potential model (CPPM). The predicted half lives show that hyper ${207-234}^$Ac nuclei are unstable against 4^He emission and 14^C emission from hyper ${217-228}^$Ac are favorable for measurement. Our study also show that hyper ${207-234}^$Ac are stable against hyper 4^He and 14^C emission. The role of neutron shell closure (N=126) in hyper 214^Fr daughter and role of proton/ neutron shell closure (Z =82, N =126) in hyper 210^Bi daughter are also revealed. As hyper-nuclei decays to normal nuclei by mesonic/non-mesonic decay and since most of the predicted half lives for 4^He and 14^C emission from normal Ac nuclei are favourable for measurement, we presume that alpha and 14^C cluster emission from hyper Ac nuclei can be detected in laboratory in a cascade (two-step) process.

description: Hexavalent chromium is one of the very toxic and cancerous metals. Increasing the environmental health requires the removal of pollutants, especially heavy metals, from industrial and municipal wastewater; and in this case the use of low cost and eco-friendly methods have been considered. Some aquatic plants have a high potential to remediate and remove heavy metals from wastewater and sewage. In this study the ability of Cyperus alternifolius for bioabsorbtion of chromium in aquatic cultures and the effect of the metal on the changes of some biochemical metabolites in plant were investigated. This macrophyte was treated with different concentrations of Cr (VI) in Hoagland medium for 7 days. Water samples were taken from the culture media daily. On the seventh day, plant samples were taken and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and proline was measured. The results showed that MDA content in aerial part of C. alternifolius was elevated by increasing the concentration of heavy metal in the medium, this effect resulting from the accumulation of free radicals, damage to cell membranes and plant metabolism disorders. Proline contents of the aerial part were increased significantly under 50 and 100 mg/L chromium treatments. This smolite can protect plant cells against heavy metal stress. It seems that increase in proline content via conserving osmotic balance, stabilize of the structure and function of macromolecules can protect plant cells against the damage of heavy metal and increase plant resistance for phytoremediation.

It seems that increase in proline content in order to conserve osmotic balance, stabilize the structure and function of cell membrane which can protect plant cells against damage of heavy metal and also increase plant resistance.
