description: Hydrogel consists of a crosslinked polymer matrix imbibed with a solvent such as water at volume fractions that can exceed 90\%. They are important in many scientific and engineering applications due to their tunable physiochemical properties, bio-compatibility, and ultra-low friction. Their multiphase structure leads to a complex interfacial rheology, yet a detailed, microscopic understanding of hydrogel friction is still emerging. Using a custom-built tribometer, here we identify three distinct regimes of frictional behavior for polyacrylic acid (PAA), polyacrylamide (PAAm), and agarose hydrogel spheres on smooth surfaces. We find that at low velocities, friction is controlled by hydrodynamic flow through the porous hydrogel network, and is inversely proportional to the characteristic pore size. At high velocities, a mesoscopic, lubricating liquid film forms between the gel and surface that obeys elastohydrodynamic theory. Between these regimes, the frictional force decreases by an order of magnitude and displays slow relaxation over several minutes. Our results can be interpreted as an interfacial shear thinning of the polymers with an increasing relaxation time due to the confinement of entanglements. This transition can be tuned by varying the solvent salt concentration, solvent viscosity, and sliding geometry at the interface.

description: This paper examines the determinants of board independence in the banking sector of Bangladesh. The study applies a multivariate panel regression analysis for the thirty banks listed with DSE covering the period from 2006 to 2016. We use the proportion of independent directors to total number of directors on the board to measure board independence. Findings of the empirical analysis show that a board is likely to be more independent when independent directors have relevant skill and knowledge as required by prevailing corporate governance regulation. Besides, this paper finds that the boards of larger firms are more independent than those of smaller firms. Moreover, the boards of the levered firms tend to be more independent because debt holders exert intense pressure to implement stringent monitoring mechanisms. Another vital finding of this paper is that board independence is lower for older firms. A plausible reason might be that matured firms devise stricter and more efficient internal control mechanisms that offset the need for independent board. This study also reports findings that are contrary to the traditional belief. For example, we find that longer tenure and prior relationship of independent directors with the firm increases board independence by developing a sense of dedicative attachment of the independent directors with the firm. On the other hand, larger and active boards tend to be an impediment for board independence. Finally, we find no association of board independence with growth opportunity, profitability, and board gender diversity. The findings will have policy implications in designing the role of board independence.

description: Consider a Hölder continuous potential $ϕ$ defined on the full shift $A^\nn$, where $A$ is a finite alphabet. Let $X\subset A^\nn$ be a specified sofic subshift. It is well-known that there is a unique Gibbs measure $μ_ϕ$ on $X$ associated to $ϕ$. Besides, there is a natural nested sequence of subshifts of finite type $(X_m)$ converging to the sofic subshift $X$. To this sequence we can associate a sequence of Gibbs measures $(μ_ϕ^m)$. In this paper, we prove that these measures weakly converge at exponential speed to $μ_ϕ$ (in the classical distance metrizing weak topology). We also establish a strong mixing property (ensuring weak Bernoullicity) of $μ_ϕ$. Finally, we prove that the measure-theoretic entropy of $μ_ϕ^m$ converges to the one of $μ_ϕ$ exponentially fast. We indicate how to extend our results to more general subshifts and potentials. We stress that we use basic algebraic tools (contractive properties of iterated matrices) and symbolic dynamics.

description: The Basel III Accord has reportedly had an impact on SME financing. In this paper, we aim to highlight the determinants of SME credit worthiness. We use credit history in addition to financial ratios and “hybrid” indicators that have been built by mixing credit history with financial statement data. We develop a failure prediction logit model on 187 Italian SMEs. The use of short-term credit lines is the most important variable. Contrary to common understanding, capitalization levels do not affect ratings. Lastly, credit worthiness is sensitive to sale profitability. JEL Codes: M21, E51, G24

description: The nature of very faint X-ray transients (VFXTs) - transient X-ray sources that peak at luminosities $L_X\lesssim10^{36} {\rm erg s^{-1}}$ - is poorly understood. The faint and often short-lived outbursts make characterising VFXTs and their multi-wavelength counterparts difficult. In 2017 April we initiated the Swift Bulge Survey, a shallow X-ray survey of $\sim$16 square degrees around the Galactic centre with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. The survey has been designed to detect new and known VFXTs, with follow-up programmes arranged to study their multi-wavelength counterparts. Here we detail the optical and near-infrared follow-up of four sources detected in the first year of the Swift Bulge Survey. The known neutron star binary IGR J17445-2747 has a K4III donor, indicating a potential symbiotic X-ray binary nature and the first such source to show X-ray bursts. We also find one nearby M-dwarf (1SXPS J174215.0-291453) and one system without a clear near-IR counterpart (Swift J175233.9-290952). Finally, 3XMM J174417.2-293944 has a subgiant donor, an 8.7 d orbital period, and a likely white dwarf accretor; we argue that this is the first detection of a white dwarf accreting from a gravitationally focused wind. A key finding of our follow-up campaign is that binaries containing (sub)giant stars may make a substantial contribution to the VFXT population.

description: In the present era the most widely material used in the construction is concrete because of its high quality of
strength & durability. Water curing is very much necessary to prevent unsatisfactory properties of cement concrete. In order to have good quality curing, surplus of evaporation from the surface need to be prevented. In this research the influence of polyethylene glycol on Compressive strength and Flexural strength of concrete by varying the percentage of polyethylene glycol-400. Polyethylene glycol replaced by cement in different percentages (0%. 0.8%, 1.5%, 2.4% & 3.2%). The optimum strength achieved to 2.4% of polyethylene glycol by the weight of cement of M-20 grade of concrete & 1.6% of polyethylene glycol by the weight of cement of M-25 grade of concrete.

description: We investigate a (semi-)metal to insulator transition (MIT) realized in geometrically frustrated electron systems on the basis of the Hubbard model on a three-dimensional pyrochlore lattice and a two-dimensional checkerboard lattice. Using the renormalization group method and mean field analysis, we show that in the half-filling case, MIT occurs as a result of the interplay between geometrical frustration and electron correlation. In the insulating phase, which has a spin gap, the spin rotational symmetry is not broken, while charge ordering exists. The charge ordered state is stabilized so as to relax the geometrical frustration in the spin degrees of freedom. We also discuss the distortion of the lattice structure caused by the charge ordering. The results are successfully applied to the description of the MIT observed in the pyrochlore system ${\rm Tl_2Ru_2O_7}$.

description: The waste materials which can be used as additional
cementitious material like fly ash, silica fume, blast furnace,
steel slag etc. From all these waste material the most
successful cementitious material is silica fume because it
improves the strength of concrete to such level that recent
design rules identify for the addition of silica fume for design
of high strength concrete. Silica fume is also known as micro silica; it is used as an artificial pozzolanic super plasticizer. Now days the high strength and high performance concrete is extensively used in much civil engineering structure. To reduce the amount of cement in concrete supplementary material are used. Silica fume is most popular material used in the concrete to improve its flexural, split tensile strength. For this purpose silica fume is replaced by 0%, 5%, 7.5%, 12.5%, 15%, 20% & 25% by the weight of cement. Water binder ratio is taken 0.42 for M-25 grade of concrete. Various tests were conducted in the research which showed the results of the same percentage at the different of 0% 5%, 7.5%, 12.5%, 15%, 20% & 25% for the time period of 7, 14, and 28 days curing as a substitution of cement by micro silica on Split Tensile Strength, flexural strength.

description: The most widely used construction material, Concrete is famous for its famous properties, major of them are durability, compressive and tensile strength. Normal concrete which is used conventionally, to complete its target strength, requires curing period of 28 days because it is essential to prevent insufficient parameters of concrete. To achieve good quality concrete, curing must be essential along with evaporation from the surface need to be prevented. Self-curing concrete is one which has been used now a days which provide efficient hydration to itself that makes it an extraordinary concrete. By using this idea PEG-400 has used in this research work by which cement is replaced in different percentages (0, 0.8, 1.6, 2.4, and 3.2) & calculates the strength & durability of concrete. For Mix-20 concrete the maximum tensile strength achieved in PEG-400 is1.6% & for Mix-25 concrete the maximum strength is achieved in PEG-400 is 2.4%. For durability against acid attack, PEG-400 chemical when not used in conventional concrete, the loss in compressive strength is observed 12.24 percent for M25 grade concrete and 11.35 percentage for M20 grade concrete.

description: We study a method to determine the residual conductance of a correlated system by means of the ground-state properties of a large ring composed of the system itself and a long non-interacting lead. The transmission probability through the interacting region and thus its residual conductance is deduced from the persistent current induced by a flux threading the ring. Density Matrix Renormalization Group techniques are employed to obtain numerical results for one-dimensional systems of interacting spinless fermions. As the flux dependence of the persistent current for such a system demonstrates, the interacting system coupled to an infinite non-interacting lead behaves as a non-interacting scatterer, but with an interaction dependent elastic transmission coefficient. The scaling to large lead sizes is discussed in detail as it constitutes a crucial step in determining the conductance. Furthermore, the method, which so far had been used at half filling, is extended to arbitrary filling and also applied to disordered interacting systems, where it is found that repulsive interaction can favor transport.

description: The process of adsorption on a planar wall of long-flexible polymer chains in the medium with quenched long-range correlated disorder is investigated. We focus on the case of correlations between defects or impurities that decay according to the power-low $ x^{-a}$ for large distances $x$, where ${\bf x}=({\bf r},z)$. Field theoretical approach in $d=4-ε$ and directly in $d=3$ dimensions up to one-loop order for the semi-infinite $|ϕ|^4$ m-vector model (in the limit $m\to 0$) with a planar boundary is used. The whole set of surface critical exponents at the adsorption threshold $T=T_a$, which separates the nonadsorbed region from the adsorbed one is obtained. Moreover, we calculate the crossover critical exponent $Φ$ and the set of exponents associated with them. We perform calculations in a double $ε=4-d$ and $δ=4-a$ expansion and also for a fixed dimension $d=3$, up to one-loop order for different values of the correlation parameter $2

description: Studies on singular flows in which either the velocity fields or the vorticity fields change dramatically on small regions are of considerable interests in both the mathematical theory and applications. Important examples of such flows include supersonic shock waves, boundary layers, and motions of vortex sheets, whose studies pose many outstanding challenges in both theoretical and numerical analysis. The aim of this talk is to discuss some of the key issues in studying such flows and to present some recent progress. First we deal with a supersonic flow past a perturbed cone, and prove the global existence of a shock wave for the stationary supersonic gas flow past an infinite curved and symmetric cone. For a general perturbed cone, a local existence theory for both steady and unsteady is also established. We then present a result on global existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the 2-D Prandtl's system for unsteady boundary layers. Finally, we will discuss some new results on the analysis of the vortex sheets motions which include the existence of 2-D vortex sheets with reflection symmetry; and no energy concentration for steady 3-D axisymmetric vortex sheets.

description: We report phonon renormalization induced by an external electric field E in ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] nanofibers through measuring the E-dependent thermal conductivity. Our experimental results are in excellent agreement with the theoretical ones derived from the lattice dynamics. The renormalization is attributed to the anharmonicity that modifies the phonon spectrum when the atoms are pulled away from their equilibrium positions by the electric field. Our finding provides an efficient way to manipulate the thermal conductivity by tuning external fields in ferroelectric materials.

In particular, it determines the possible topologies of the spatial sections of the horizon. By Fermat's principle in geometric optics, we relate the crease set and the Maxwell set of a smooth function in the context of singularity theory. We thereby give a classification of generic topological structure of the Maxwell sets and the generic topologies of the spatial section of the horizon.

description: It has recently been proved that nontrivial couplings between scalar fields and the Gauss-Bonnet invariant of a curved spacetime may allow a central black hole to support spatially regular scalar hairy configurations. Interestingly, former numerical studies of the intriguing black-hole spontaneous scalarization phenomenon have demonstrated that the composed hairy black-hole-scalar-field configurations exist if and only if the dimensionless coupling parameter $\barη$ of the theory belongs to a discrete set $\{[\barη^{-}_{n},\barη^{+}_{n}]\}_{n=0}^{n=\infty}$ of scalarization bands. We have examined the numerical data that are available in the physics literature and found that the newly discovered hairy black-hole-linearized-massless-scalar-field configurations are characterized by the asymptotic universal behavior $Δ_n\equiv \sqrt{\barη^{+}_{n+1}}-\sqrt{\barη^{+}_{n}}\simeq 2.72$. Motivated by this intriguing observation, in the present paper we study {\it analytically} the physical and mathematical properties of the spontaneously scalarized Schwarzschild black holes in the linearized (weak-field) regime. In particular, we provide a remarkably compact analytical explanation for the numerically observed universal behavior $Δ_n\simeq 2.72$ which characterizes the discrete resonant spectrum $\{\barη^{+}_{n}\}_{n=0}^{n=\infty}$ of the composed hairy black-hole-linearized-scalar-field configurations.

description: Satellites constitute an important fraction of the overall galaxy population and are believed to form in dark matter subhalos. Here we use the cosmological hydrodynamic simulation TNG100 to investigate how the formation histories of subhalos affect the properties and evolution of their host galaxies. We use a scaled formation time ($a_{\rm nf}$) to characterize the mass assembly histories of the subhalos before they are accreted by massive host halos. We find that satellite galaxies in young subhalos (low $a_{\rm nf}$) are less massive and more gas rich, and have stronger star formation and a higher fraction of ex situ stellar mass than satellites in old subhalos (high $a_{\rm nf}$). Furthermore, these low $a_{\rm nf}$ satellites require longer timescales to be quenched as a population than the high $a_{\rm nf}$ counterparts. We find very different merger histories between satellites in fast accretion (FA, $a_{\rm nf}<1.3$) and slow accretion (SA, $a_{\rm nf}>1.3$) subhalos. For FA satellites, the galaxy merger frequency dramatically increases just after accretion, which enhances the star formation at accretion. While, for SA satellites, the mergers occur smoothly and continuously across the accretion time. Moreover, mergers with FA satellites happen mainly after accretion, while a contrary trend is found for SA satellites. Our results provide insight into the evolution and star formation quenching of the satellite population.

description: This thesis examines the trade relationships between China and colonial Australia between 1860 and 1880. At the time, the Australian continent was emerging from the boom created by the 1850s gold rushes in the colonies of Victoria and New South Wales. China had submitted to the debts incurred from the two Opium Wars and, through that, the creation of the Treaty Ports. New companies and export industries were being developed. Trade between Australia and China increased. The key products included coal from New South Wales, sandalwood from Western Australia and tea from China. Together, they created a flourishing trade environment. Attention in the China-Australia trade discourse has been overly restricted to the tea trade and the search for staples to pay for the tea. This thesis moves beyond this past bilateral consideration. Instead, it argues that a fuller understanding of the China–Australia trade relationship needs to be multifaceted and multi-national. Much bilateral trade was conducted via intermediary ports and traders, rather than directly between ports and traders in Australia and China. Further, complex payment and remittance systems involved firms based in an array of countries, including Great Britain, India and the United States. This thesis, thus, states the importance of analysing trade relationships within a multilateral focus. This thesis uses analysis at the transaction level to explain the prevalent multilateral relationships of this period. Archival records from England, the United States and Hong Kong supplement those in Australia to provide insights into the methods employed to complete transactions. This thesis provides history with an interpretation of the records relating to the China-Australia trade. It engages the correspondence and financial records of of key companies like Jardine Matheson & Co. of England, Augustine Heard & Co. and Russell & Co. of the United States and Robert Towns and Co. from Australia, among others, to interpret the transactions. Analysing trade at a transactional level requires an interdisciplinary approach that draws on insights from a mixture of historical sub-disciplines, including economic history, business history, maritime history, Australian history, China Treaty Port history, Chinese mercantile history and the histories of various commodities. All of these feature in this thesis under the umbrella of trade history to create a broader comprehension of port-to-port relationships. Interpreting at the transaction level moves this interdisciplinary study into an alternate realm, one that opens a better understanding of how each of its elements placed Australia within the global trade environment of the 1860s and 1870s.

description: We show that, in the framework of Mueller's dipole model, the perturbative QCD odderon is described by the dipole model equivalent of the BFKL equation with a $C$-odd initial condition. The eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the odderon solution are the same as for the dipole BFKL equation and are given by the functions $E^{n,ν}$ and $χ(n,ν)$ correspondingly, where the $C$-odd initial condition allows only for odd values of $n$. The leading high-energy odderon intercept is given by $α_{odd} - 1 = \frac{2 \as N_c}π χ(n=1 ,ν=0) = 0$ in agreement with the solution found by Bartels, Lipatov and Vacca. We proceed by writing down an evolution equation for the odderon including the effects of parton saturation. We argue that saturation makes the odderon solution a decreasing function of energy.

description: These days, concrete are the most adaptable structure materials because it can be designed to survive the harshest environments while taking on the most encouraging forms. In the present scenario most concrete mixture contains additional cementitious material which forms element of the

The main advantage of supplementary cementitious material is their capability to replace certain amount of cement and still capable to present cementitious property, as a result reducing the cost of using Portland cement. The waste materials which can be used as additional cementitious material like fly ash, silica fume, blast furnace, steel slag etc. From all these waste material the most successful cementitious material is silica fume because it improves the strength and durability of concrete to such level that recent design rules identify for the addition of silica fume for design of high strength concrete. Silica fume is also known as micro silica; it is used as an artificial pozzolanic super plasticizer.

description: In this paper, a compact high-order gas-kinetic scheme (GKS) with spectral resolution will be presented and used in the simulation of acoustic and shock waves. For accurate simulation, the numerical scheme is required to have excellent dissipation-dispersion preserving property, while the wave modes, propagation characteristics, and wave speed of the numerical solution should be kept as close as possible to the exact solution of governing equations. For compressible flow simulation with shocks, the numerical scheme has to be equipped with proper numerical dissipation to make a crispy transition in the shock layer. Based on the high-order gas evolution model, the GKS provides a time accurate solution at a cell interface, from which both time accurate flux function and the time evolving flow variables can be obtained. The GKS updates explicitly both cell-averaged conservative flow variables and the cell-averaged gradients by applying Gauss-theorem along the boundary of the control volume. Based on the cell-averaged flow variables and cell-averaged gradients, a reconstruction with compact stencil can be obtained. With the same stencil of a second-order scheme, a reconstruction up to 8th-order spacial accuracy can be constructed, which include the nonlinear and linear reconstruction for the non-equilibrium and equilibrium states respectively. The GKS unifies the nonlinear and linear reconstruction through a time evolution process at a cell interface from the non-equilibrium state to an equilibrium one. In the region between these two limits, the contribution from nonlinear and linear reconstructions depends on the weighting functions of $\exp(-Δt/τ)$ and $(1-\exp(-Δt /τ))$, where $Δt$ is the time step and $τ$ is the particle collision time, which is enhanced in the shock region. As a result, both shock and acoustic wave can be captured accurately in GKS.

description: We present a comprehensive study of the 2D one-band Hubbard model applying the spin rotation invariant slave-boson method. We utilize a spiral magnetic mean field and fluctuations around a paramagnetic mean field to determine the magnetic phase diagram and find the two approaches to be in good agreement. Apart from the commensurate phases characterized by ordering wave vectors $\boldsymbol Q = (π, π), (0, π)$, and $(0, 0)$ we find incommensurate phases where the ordering wave vectors $\boldsymbol Q = (Q, Q)$, and $(Q, π)$ vary continuously with filling, interaction strength or temperature. The mean field quantities magnetization and effective mass are found to change discontinuously at the phase boundaries separating the $(Q, Q)$ and $(Q, π)$ phases, indicating a first order transition. The band structure and Fermi surface is shown in selected cases. The dynamic spin and charge susceptibilities as well as the structure factors are calculated and discussed, including the emergence of collective modes of the zero sound and Mott insulator type. The dynamical conductivity is calculated in dependence of doping, interaction strength and temperature. Finally, a temperature-interaction strength phase diagram is established.

description: The studies that are based on the principles of Knowledge Management (KM) have their bases linked to the creation of environments favorable to the controlled sharing of the knowledge of each individual. This dissertation had the objective to analyze the practice of Management by Competences (MbC) applied to Graduation Degree in Archivology at the national level. The four specific objectives are to recognize the compulsory subjects that form the common axis between universities; to point out the competences required for the course through common compulsory subjects; to map the technical-professional competences of the teachers who teach the common compulsory subjects to the courses; and to compare the essential competences of the courses with the essential individual skills of the teachers. As far as the methodology is considered of direct documentary nature because uses primary sources, the method is inductive, whereas the objectives are exploratory and descriptive, applying the qualitative and quantitative-decritive approach. As for the procedures were used the statistical and typological, since the dependent and independent variables are the categories and Lattes résumé of the teachers respectively. The research universe used is the common compulsory subjects of the 16 universities that have Graduation Degrees in Archivology authorized by the Brazilian Ministry of Education and the teachers who work in their respective disciplines. Lattes résumé were analyzed according to the Content Analysis method, with the Management by Competences guidelines and descriptive statistics techniques. The results indicate that there are indications of the application of Management by Competences in the common compulsory subjects of Graduation Degrees in Archivology in Brazil. The analyzes and discussions developed allow us to conclude that the hypothesis raised, that the teachers of Graduation Degrees in Archivology are allocated in the disciplines according to their technical-professional competences, is partially true and corresponds to half of the categories of common compulsory subjects. While the other half do not have equally positive rates. If MbC is employed in an adequate, efficient and effective way, it can heal or minimize the problems pointed out and increase the indexes found during this research, besides adding numerous benefits to the public service. It is hoped that with this work, the MbC can be considered as an emergent solution to the questions that are presented in said courses.

description: We develop a Born-Infeld type theory for gravity in any dimension. We show that in four dimensions our formalism allows a self-dual (or anti-self dual) Born-Infeld gravity description. Moreover, we show that such a self-dual action is reduced to both the Deser-Gibbons and the Jacobson-Smolin-Samuel action of Ashtekar formulation. A supersymmetric generalization of our approach is outlined.

description: We present a theory of the Anomalous Hall Effect (AHE) in ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As in the regime when conduction is due to phonon-assisted hopping of holes between localized states in the impurity band. We show that the microscopic origin of the anomalous Hall conductivity in this system can be attributed to a phase that a hole gains when hopping around closed-loop paths in the presence of spin-orbit interactions and background magnetization of the localized Mn moments. Mapping the problem to a random resistor network, we derive an analytic expression for the macroscopic anomalous Hall conductivity $σ_{xy}^{AH}$. We show that $σ_{xy}^{AH}$ is proportional to the first derivative of the density of states $\varrho(ε)$ and thus can be expected to change sign as a function of impurity band filling. We also show that $σ_{xy}^{AH}$ depends on temperature as the longitudinal conductivity $σ_{xx}$ within logarithmic accuracy.

description: The magnetic structure of the antiferromagnetic square cupola compound Ba(TiO)Cu$_4$(PO$_4$)$_4$ with the tetragonal structure is studied with 31P nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The magnetic hyperfine shift K shows a clear splitting at the Néel temperature T$_N$ = 9.5 K, where the resonance splits into two lines when an external magnetic field is oriented along the c axis and into four lines when the field is along the a axis. In the paramagnetic region K(T) follows temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility $χ(T)$. From K vs $χ$ plot we determined nearly isotropic hyperfine field values Ha_hf = 765 mT/$μ_B$ and Hc_hf = 740 mT/$μ_B$ for the magnetic field oriented along a and c, respectively. From the rotation of the single crystal in the external magnetic field we determined eight different orientations of K-tensor in the paramagnetic region. In the antiferromagnetic state at T = 6 K we found that the local field at phosphorus is mainly due to dipolar field of coppers. Here the rotation of the single crystal shows eight different orientations of the local field Bint = 35.6 mT. The orientations correspond to the calculation of dipolar fields at phosphorus assuming magnetic quadrupolar configuration of magnetic moments $\varGamma_3(1)$ described previously [Nat. Commun. 7, 13039 (2016); Phys. Rev. B 96, 214436 (2017)].
