description: We are concerned with the linearized, isotropic and homogeneous elastic scattering problem by many small rigid obstacles of arbitrary, Lipschitz regular, shapes in 3D case. We prove that there exists two constant $a_0$ and $c_0$, depending only on the Lipschitz character of the obstacles, such that under the conditions $a\leq a_0$ and $\sqrt{M-1}\frac{a}{d} \leq c_0$ on the number $M$ of the obstacles, their maximum diameter $a$ and the minimum distance between them $d$, the corresponding Foldy-Lax approximation of the farfields is valid. In addition, we provide the error of this approximation explicitly in terms of the three parameters $M, a$ and $d$. These approximations can be used, in particular, in the identification problems (i.e. inverse problems) and in the design problems (i.e. effective medium theory).

description: The effective field theory (EFT) of inflation has become the preferred method for computing cosmological correlation functions of the curvature fluctuation, $ζ$. It makes explicit use of the soft breaking of time diffeomorphisms by the inflationary background to organize the operators expansion in the action of the Goldstone mode $π$ associated with this breaking. Despite its ascendancy, there is another method for calculating $ζ$ correlators, involving the direct calculation of the so-called Horndeski action order by order in powers of $ζ$ and its derivatives. The question we address in this work is whether or not the $ζ$ correlators calculated in these seemingly different ways are in fact the same. The answer is that the actions to cubic order in either set of variables do indeed give rise to the same $ζ$ bispectra, but that to make this equivalence manifest requires a careful understanding of the non-linear transformations relating $π$ to $ζ$ and how boundary terms in the actions are affected by imposing this relation. As a by product of our study we find that the calculations in the $π$ language can be simplified considerably in a way that allows us to use only the linear part of the $π-ζ$ relation simply by changing the coefficients of some of the operators in the EFT. We also note that a proper accounting of the boundary terms will be of the greatest importance when computing the bispectrum for more general initial states than the Bunch-Davies one.

Quantum correlations in the 1-D driven dissipative transverse field XY model

description: We study the non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) of a driven dissipative one-dimensional system near a critical point, and explore how the quantum correlations compare to the known critical behavior in the ground state. The model we study corresponds to a cavity array driven parametrically at a two photon resonance, equivalent in a rotating frame to a transverse field anisotropic XY model [C. E. Bardyn and A. Imamoğlu, Phys. Rev. Lett {\bf 109} 253606 (2012)]. Depending on the sign of transverse field, the steady state of the open system can be either related to the ground state or to the maximum energy state. In both cases, many properties of the entanglement are similar to the ground state, although no critical behavior occurs. As one varies from the Ising limit to the isotropic XY limit, entanglement range grows. The isotropic limit of the NESS is however singular, with simultaneously diverging range and vanishing magnitude of entanglement. This singular limiting behavior is quite distinct from the ground state behavior, it can however be understood analytically within spin-wave theory.

On the Geometry of Balls in the Grassmannian and List Decoding of Lifted Gabidulin Codes

description: The finite Grassmannian $\mathcal{G}_{q}(k,n)$ is defined as the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of the ambient space $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$. Subsets of the finite Grassmannian are called constant dimension codes and have recently found an application in random network coding. In this setting codewords from $\mathcal{G}_{q}(k,n)$ are sent through a network channel and, since errors may occur during transmission, the received words can possible lie in $\mathcal{G}_{q}(k',n)$, where $k'\neq k$. In this paper, we study the balls in $\mathcal{G}_{q}(k,n)$ with center that is not necessarily in $\mathcal{G}_{q}(k,n)$. We describe the balls with respect to two different metrics, namely the subspace and the injection metric. Moreover, we use two different techniques for describing these balls, one is the Plücker embedding of $\mathcal{G}_{q}(k,n)$, and the second one is a rational parametrization of the matrix representation of the codewords. With these results, we consider the problem of list decoding a certain family of constant dimension codes, called lifted Gabidulin codes. We describe a way of representing these codes by linear equations in either the matrix representation or a subset of the Plücker coordinates. The union of these equations and the equations which arise from the description of the ball of a given radius in the Grassmannian describe the list of codewords with distance less than or equal to the given radius from the received word.

In particular we show that the fre- quency of the train can be finely tuned either electrically of fully optically to provide a stable and efficient output signal modulation. Taking the polarization degree of freedom into account we elucidate the possibility to additionally form on-demand half-solitons trains.

description: Due to data exploration complexity, provenance management is a key component in order to guarantee scientific data discovery, reproducibility and results interpretation. Provenance management should be able to define a set of metadata able to capture the derivation history of any stored data, including the original raw data sources, the intermediate data products and the steps that were applied to produce them. To enable a well-defined data provenance in the scientific experiments workflow, from data production to data usage, we considered two demonstrators coming from two scientific communities: Materials Science/Nanoscience and Climate Science. The document is structured as a guide for end-users around these demonstrators. The overall objective is to give researchers and users coming from the community of Materials Science/Nanoscience and Climate science a fundamental understanding of the services provided by each of them and guidance on their use.

description: Due to the increasing complexity of data analysis workflows, provenance management is a key component to support the re-use of scientific data. Alongside findability, accessibility and interoperability, the reusability of data constitutes a pillar of the FAIR principles and in this regard rich and reliable provenance is essential to ensure that. In the context of the EOSC-Pillar project, Work Package 6 (EOSC in action: Use cases and community-driven pilots) delivers use cases to analyze different tools and services used for the "FAIRification". Among them, our use case (UC1: Defining procedures and services to enforce data provenance for thematic communities and beyond) aims at elaborating cross-domain, FAIR-oriented procedures and recommendations to enforce data provenance by taking into account needs coming from two scientific domains: Materials Science/Nanoscience and Climate Science. In such a context, (W3C) PROV standard has been considered a recommended family of specifications for tracking processes and responsibilities as well as describing provenance structures within complex experiments and large workflows on scientific data. Starting from the W3C PROV data model and ontology, the PROV Core concepts have been applied in the form of adaptations and extensions on top of the existing scientific data services, to enhance provenance capabilities, thus addressing FAIR-oriented full provenance management.

description: We give a prescription for calculating the entanglement entropy in holographic probe brane systems by systematically taking the leading order backreaction of the probe brane into account. We find a simple compact double integral formula, which is insensitive to many details of the backreaction, most notably the internal space or the non-metric fields sourced by the probe. We validate our method by comparing to exact results in solvable toy models. We also determine the entanglement entropies for a sphere and a strip in the top-down D3/D7 and D3/D5 system. For the sphere the entanglement entropy has also been obtained by other methods and we find perfect agreement.

description: We investigate the star formation rates of quiescent galaxies at high redshift (0.3 < z < 2.5) using 3D-HST WFC3 grism spectroscopy and Spitzer mid-infrared data. We select quiescent galaxies on the basis of the widely used UVJ color-color criteria. Spectral energy distribution fitting (rest frame optical and near-IR) indicates very low star formation rates for quiescent galaxies (sSFR ~ 10^-12 yr^-1). However, SED fitting can miss star formation if it is hidden behind high dust obscuration and ionizing radiation is re-emitted in the mid-infrared. It is therefore fundamental to measure the dust-obscured SFRs with a mid-IR indicator. We stack the MIPS-24um images of quiescent objects in five redshift bins centered on z = 0.5, 0.9, 1.2, 1.7, 2.2 and perform aperture photometry. Including direct 24um detections, we find sSFR ~ 10^-11.9 * (1+z)^4 yr^-1. These values are higher than those indicated by SED fitting, but at each redshift they are 20-40 times lower than those of typical star forming galaxies. The true SFRs of quiescent galaxies might be even lower, as we show that the mid-IR fluxes can be due to processes unrelated to ongoing star formation, such as cirrus dust heated by old stellar populations and circumstellar dust. Our measurements show that star formation quenching is very efficient at every redshift. The measured SFR values are at z > 1.5 marginally consistent with the ones expected from gas recycling (assuming that mass loss from evolved stars refuels star formation) and well above that at lower redshifts.

description: Topological objects of $SU(3)$ gluodynamics are studied at the infrared scale near the transition temperature with the help of zero and near-zero modes of the overlap Dirac operator. We construct UV filtered topological charge densities corresponding to three versions of the temporal boundary condition applied to this operator, for which the zero mode is known to be located on corresponding three constituent dyons (antidyons) in the reference case of an analytical (anti)caloron solution. The clustering of the three topological charge densities marks the positions of three types of dyons and antidyons which can therefore be considered as present in equilibrium (Monte Carlo) gluonic fields at the given resolution scale. We classify them either as constituents of nondissociated (anti)calorons or as constituents of (anti)dyon pairs or as isolated (anti)dyons. The pattern of the Polyakov loop describing the centers and the interior of these clusters is observed after a limited number of overimproved cooling steps and resembles the description known from analytical caloron solutions.

description: We use cosmological observations in the post-Planck era to derive limits on thermally produced cosmological axions. In the early universe such axions contribute to the radiation density and later to the hot dark matter fraction. We find an upper limit m_a < 0.67 eV at 95% C.L. after marginalising over the unknown neutrino masses, using CMB temperature and polarisation data from Planck and WMAP respectively, the halo matter power spectrum extracted from SDSS-DR7, and the local Hubble expansion rate H_0 released by the Carnegie Hubble Program based on a recalibration of the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project sample. Leaving out the local H_0 measurement relaxes the limit somewhat to 0.86 eV, while Planck+WMAP alone constrain the axion mass to 1.01 eV, the first time an upper limit on m_a has been obtained from CMB data alone. Our axion limit is therefore not very sensitive to the tension between the Planck-inferred H_0 and the locally measured value. This is in contrast with the upper limit on the neutrino mass sum, which we find here to range from 0.27 eV at 95% C.L. combining all of the aforementioned observations, to 0.84 eV from CMB data alone.

description: To detect off-shell Abelian $Z'$ boson in $e^+e^-\toμ^+μ^-$, we propose one-parameter observables with the best value-to-uncertainty ratio. The observables are constructed by angular integration of the differential cross section with smooth weight functions. The value-to-uncertainty ratio is used as a criterion to select the unique weight function leading to the observable with the best statistical power for data analysis. The observables allow to select either vector or axial-vector $Z'$ couplings to leptons. The obtained observable can be useful in future experiments at lepton colliders such as the ILC.

description: The period of reentering society after prison is a critical time in the life-course and presents numerous challenges. With whom and where individuals live can determine aspects of social support, as well as bonds and informal social control that may predict whether a person “succeeds” by abstaining from crime and avoiding technical violations of parole. We use detailed administrative data from a release cohort in Missouri to construct monthly variation in household and community context at two levels (neighborhood disadvantage and county-level rural-urban designation). We follow the local-life circumstances approach, decomposing changing context into within and between person variation (Horney et al., 1995). We find important selection effects but also intervention effects – with households including family as particularly beneficial. This work further highlights the needs for multiple measures of recidivism and a broadening of the geographic locales researchers and policymakers consider.

description: Little is known about the scope of use-of-force incidents in carceral settings, nor the impact of efforts to control it. Correctional agencies have recently begun adopting body-worn cameras (BWCs) to mitigate such incidents and improve institutional management. We conducted a one-year randomized controlled trial of BWCs among the 12 housing units in the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center in Virginia. We collected data on the 97 response-to-resistance (RTR) events that occurred during our study period, including deputies’ control methods (physical controls, restraints, weapons) and residents’ resistance levels (passive, active, aggressive) during these events. Using negative binomial regression, we found a 40% decrease in RTR events in unit-months with BWCs. We also found 37% and 52% reductions in the use of physical controls by deputies and the occurrence of resident active resistance, respectively. We situate these findings in the correctional context and discuss their implications for policy and future research.

description: Protective parenting practices, including parental monitoring and establishing nurturing and supportive rules, are thought to affect the risk of children’s involvement in delinquency. However, there has yet to be any direct test of this hypothesis using experimental data designed to test causality better. Data from 346 Black couples with an 11-year-old child were assigned randomly to Protecting Strong African American Families (ProSAAF) intervention or control condition. Results from traditional mediation models, causal mediation analysis, and the complier analysis indicated that the intervention had a significant indirect effect on youth delinquent behaviors and that effects on protective parenting mediated this effect. The results demonstrated that ProSAAF, which is designed to promote family communication, is effective in deterring delinquent behaviors among Black Americans who reside in resource-scarce communities by enhancing parenting practices.

description: Emotions are significant behavioral reactions that influence one's own achievement as well as other facets of life. Emotional intelligence (EI) is the capacity to "observe and express emotion accurately, to understand the emotion and emotional knowledge, to use emotions to facilitate thought and to regulate emotions." People with high emotional intelligence may be better able to comprehend their ideas and feelings and reach their full potential. Therefore, EI is undoubtedly a vital component of a person's personality. The ability to identify and manage our own emotions, as well as those of others, has been referred to as emotional intelligence. Employee performance is defined as the degree to which a worker fulfills his or her obligations, functions, and responsibilities within a company.Organizations are aware of how negatively productivity and profit are impacted by subpar work performance. Organizational outcomes are significantly influenced by psychological concepts like emotional intelligence (EI). Academic studies have also demonstrated a connection between EI and workers' well-being, their ability to handle stress, low employee turnover, and burnout. Organizations are very concerned about job performance because the demanding nature of the IT business forces employees to prioritize their physical and mental well-being. Furthermore, parallels can be drawn between emotional intelligence observed in animal behavior and its application in enhancing human performance and well-being. This research, using mixed methods, examines how Emotional Intelligence (EI) affects IT professionals' job performance and well-being, integrating insights from zoological research. A demographic profile-containing questionnaire was used to conduct the survey. Data analysis techniques from descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression were used to evaluate quantitative data. The results of this study demonstrate the significant impact of an employee's emotional intelligence on their well-being and productivity, offering new perspectives by incorporating zoological insights into the discussion.

Material examined. 19 females, 25 males, Phia Oac, Pha Den, Nguyen Binh, Cao Bang, 22°35′07.7″N 105°51′59.8″E, alt. 900–1100m, Nest#VN-CB-2014-P-01, 25–28.v.2014, T. V. Hoang. Nest. A nest (Nest#VN-CB-2014-P-01) (Fig. 18) collected in Phia Oac NP, Cao Bang was examined. The nest was at the fully-developed stage and had a comb comprised of mainly long cells, collected together with 19 females and 15 males. Ten males emerged later when the nest was brought back to the laboratory and was being kept in a nylon bag. The nest was found under the broad leaf of a tree about 3 m above the ground. The nest characteristics are as follows: Petiole single, terminal, with thick central core of plant fibres, enlarged strictly with adult salivary secretion, black and lustrous, 4.2 mm long, 2.2 × 6.8 mm thick; salivary coating extended onto substrate and largely onto back of comb. Comb tough, pliable in texture, brown, subcircular (about 52 mm × 50 mm) in view from side of cell opening; ventral surface convex; dorsal surface deeply concave. Nest cells generally arranged regularly and round at open end, but partly irregularly arranged, where some cells are pentagonal; cell expanded towards open end, 3.4 mm (range 2.5–4.6 mm; n=10) wide at bottom and 5.6 mm (range 5.1–6.3 mm; n=10) wide at open end, 14.5 mm (range 13.0–16.2) mm; n=10) deep; cell wall about 0.02 mm thick.

description: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) possess unique antimicrobial properties. As a result, they are being increasingly used in a wide range of applications. Several studies have shown detrimental effects of AgNPs exposure, including inflammation, accumulation, and cellular damage to different organs. However, the effect of AgNPs exposure during gestation, a critical and susceptible period of human development, on pregnant females and its long-term effects on offspring’s health has not been studied. Therefore, we conducted a long-term study where we assessed the effect of gestational AgNPs exposure on pregnant mice and followed their offspring until the age of 12 months. Gestational exposure to AgNPs induced systemic inflammation in the pregnant mice at gestational day (GD) 18. Interestingly, developing fetuses exposed to AgNPs, showed anti-inflammatory conditions as indicated by reduced expression of inflammatory genes in fetal organs at GD 18 and reduced serum levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-17A, IL-6, and MCP-1 in AgNPs exposed pups at postnatal day (PD) 2. Surprisingly, post-weaning, AgNPs exposed offspring showed a heightened immune activation as shown by upregulation of inflammatory cytokines at PD 28, which persisted till late in life. Moreover, we observed metabolic alterations which persisted until adulthood in mice. To understand the impact of long-term immunometabolic changes on the progression of diabetes and kidney diseases under stressed conditions, we exposed offspring to streptozotocin which revealed a protective role of low-dose gestational AgNPs exposure against streptozotocin-induced diabetes and associated nephropathy.

description: Despite the potential positive impact of augmentative and alternative communication, the literature suggests that many individuals with disabilities experience barriers in developing communication skills and access to appropriate supports. Parents can provide valuable insight into the barriers and facilitators experienced by their children with complex communication needs. Previous studies exploring parent perspectives of the complex communication needs of children with various disabilities have revealed similarities and differences in experiences. This supports the need to examine the barriers and facilitators experienced by different populations, including individuals with Koolen de Vries syndrome (KdVS). As a newly identified syndrome, information on individuals with KdVS is limited, and studies examining parent experiences in supporting the communication needs of children with KdVS have not been conducted. This study obtained parents' perspectives regarding the communication barriers and facilitators experienced by their children with KdVS. Fifteen parents participated in one of two focus group sessions. The data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis, resulting in 13 categories discussed in relation to previous research and conceptual frameworks. Research and practical implications for developing a deeper understanding of the barriers experienced by children with KdVS are proposed.
Cavity-Assisted Dynamical Spin-Orbit Coupling in Cold Atoms

description: We consider ultracold atoms subjected to a cavity-assisted two-photon Raman transition. The Raman coupling gives rise to effective spin-orbit interaction which couples atom's center-of-mass motion to its pseudospin degrees of freedom. Meanwhile, the cavity photon is dynamically affected by the atom. This feedback between atom and photon leads to a dramatic modification of the atomic dispersion relation, and further leads to dynamical instability of the system. We propose to detect the change of cavity photon number as a direct way to demonstrate dynamical instability.

description: Uganda has made progress in reducing the HIV prevalence from 7.3% in 2011 to 6% in 2017, however, more needs to be done to meet the WHO target of 95% of the population knowing their HIV status, 95% enrolled on treatment and 95% achieving viral suppression. This study aimed to assess the bottlenecks and opportunities towards achieving the 95 95 95 targeted HIV services in Bukedea district.The study revealed that the major challenges towards achieving the targeted 95-95-95 HIV services were stigma, inadequate pre-test counseling, fear of disclosure, and poor adherence due to alcoholism, sharing of drugs with animals and partners. The use of Anti-retroviral drugs in animal husbandry was common in Bukedea District.
Indirect measurement of $sin^2θ_W$ (M_W) using e+e- pairs in the Z-boson region with $p\bar{p}$ collisions at a center-of-momentum energy of 1.96 TeV

description: Drell-Yan lepton pairs are produced in the process $p\bar{p} \rightarrow e^+e^- + X$ through an intermediate $γ^*/Z$ boson. The lepton angular distributions are used to provide information on the electroweak-mixing parameter $sin^2θ_W$ via its observable effective-leptonic $sin^2θ_W$, or $sin^2θ^{lept}_{eff}$. A new method to infer $sin^2θ_W$, or equivalently, the W-boson mass M_W in the on-shell scheme, is developed and tested using a previous CDF Run II measurement of angular distributions from electron pairs in a sample corresponding to 2.1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity from $p\bar{p}$ collisions at a center-of-momentum energy of 1.96 TeV. The value of $sin^2θ^{lept}_{eff}$ is found to be 0.2328 +- 0.0010. Within a specified context of the standard model, this results in $sin^2θ_W$ = 0.2246 +- 0.0009 which corresponds to a W-boson mass of 80.297 +- 0.048 GeV/c^2, in agreement with previous determinations in electron-position collisions and at the Tevatron collider.

description: This study explored performance on expressive and receptive graphic symbol tasks and spoken comprehension by individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) as well as the relationship of performance with participants’ skills and characteristics. Participants were 19 children and youth (aged 5- to 18-years-old) who used aided communication. Four experimental tasks were administered, with either speech or symbols as input (stimuli) and symbols or choice from an array of pictures as output (response). Symbols were not accompanied by written or spoken labels in the tasks. Measures of receptive vocabulary, receptive syntax, memory, and visual cognitive skills as well as information regarding participant characteristics were collected. There were strong relationships among all experimental tasks. Cluster analysis revealed different response patterns that may suggest a progression in expressive and receptive performance with graphic symbol sentences. Individual differences in receptive language, particularly receptive syntax, were related to task performance. The findings suggest that different ways of experiencing symbols, in addition to spoken comprehension of the sentences and receptive spoken language more generally, may contribute to expressive graphic symbol sentences. Performance on receptive symbol tasks may uncover a level of facility with the graphic-symbol modality not observed through expressive symbol use in communicative situations.
