description: We model the synthesis of molecules and dust in the inner wind of the oxygen-rich Mira-type star IK Tau, by considering the effects of periodic shocks induced by the stellar pulsation on the gas, and by following the non-equilibrium chemistry in the shocked gas layers between 1 and 10 Rstar. We consider a complete set of molecules and dust clusters, and combine the nucleation phase of dust formation with the condensation of these clusters into dust grains. Our derived molecular abundances and dust properties are compared to the most recent observational data. The chemistry is described by using a chemical kinetic network of reactions and the condensation mechanism is described by a Brownian formalism. The shocks drive an active non-equilibrium chemistry in the dust formation zone of IK Tau where the collision destruction of CO in the post-shock gas triggers the formation of C-bearing species such as HCN and CS. Most of the modelled molecular abundances agree well with the latest values derived from Herschel data. Clusters of alumina are produced within 2 Rstar and lead to a population of alumina grains close to the stellar surface. Clusters of silicates form at larger radii (r > 3 Rstar), where their nucleation is triggered by the formation of HSiO and H2SiO. They efficiently condense and reach their final grain size distribution between ~ 6 and 8 Rstar, with a major population of medium size grains peaking at~ 0.02 microns. This two dust-shell configuration agrees with recent interferometric observations. The derived dust-to-gas mass ratio for IK Tau is in the range 1-6x10^-3 and agrees with values derived from observations of O-rich Mira-type stars. Our results confirm the importance of periodic shocks in chemically shaping the inner wind of AGB stars and providing gas conditions conducive to the efficient synthesis of molecules and dust by non-equilibrium processes.

Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2015

description: Issues connected with the borderlands of imperial or national states and cultures, with the “frontier” society or with overlapping cultures and historical memories have been discussed in depth by scholars of historical, political and social sciences. In literature, mainly in the Slavic areas, the problem has only just come to the fore. Two important books have been published recently, one in in the usa, the other in Ukraine. A. Glaser sees the “marketplace” as the real and metaphorical chronotope of a multifaceted society which lived and produced real chef-d’oeuvres in the borderlands of the Russian Empire. Some typological analogies may be found in a book publihed in L’viv about the “many literatures” in the Galician lands of the Hapsburg Empire. The A. presents the main topics discusssed in these two books and underlines the need to broaden research in this field.

Introduction: Translating a Small Literature to the Global Market. The Bulgarian Case and Beyond
Creators: name: Ljuckanov, Jordan
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2015

description: The A. presents a group of papers on the issues of translating a small literature to the global market. To the question of how a “small” literature (more especially here Bulgarian literature) can achieve international success, he answers from the perspectives of a number of habituses in the field of literary production and consumption. A “small” literature can gain international success through: individual talent (especially for marketing); irrational struggle against market and geopolitical ra- tionales; intellectual maturing of the original literary field; inventing a label to combat the inertia of the international literary field (or a clever instrumentalisation of the proclivity to produce and consume exoticisms); dislocating itself from an interliterary community that cannot offer the necessary support of a cultural capital; inciting the existence of a suitable interliterary community and relocating itself therein; improving education in humanities; conducting responsible state policy; abandoning the illusion that “the world republic of letters” can be independent from the economy of maximizing profit; refusing to subject to the judgements of the dominant literatures.

Caregiving and Thoughts about Quitting Smoking in Family Members of Patients with Lung Cancer
Creators: name: Rose, Tracy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Background: This study measured thoughts about quitting smoking in relatives of patients with lung cancer and examined how caregiving status influences a family member's thoughts about quitting smoking, accounting for possible moderation by depression and psychological stress. Methods: Patients with lung cancer were identified from four participating sites from September 2004 to July 2006 and asked to identify family members who smoke. Consenting family members (n=496) completed a baseline telephone survey. Data analysis was completed in 2008. Results: The mean age of family members was 47, 85% were white, 59% were female, 40% had less than college education, 67% were employed, 14% reported stress most of the time, 50% had high levels of depressive symptoms (CES-D score >= 10), and 71% had thought about quitting smoking since their relative was diagnosed with lung cancer. Thirty-six percent of family members identified themselves as a main caregiver for the patient. Caregivers reported more stress and depressive symptoms, and were more likely to have thought about quitting compared to non-caregivers (p<.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that being a caregiver (OR=l.64 (95% CI 1.05-2.57)) was a significant predictor of thinking about quitting smoking, adjusting for age, sex, race, employment status, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Despite higher self-reported stress and depressive symptoms, caregivers were more likely than non-caregiving relatives to have thought about quitting smoking. Caregivers represent an accessible and highly motivated group of people at a critical time in their lives for a smoking cessation intervention.

description: We investigate the interplay between the magnetic and the superconducting degrees of freedom in unconventional multi-band superconductors such as iron pnictides. For this purpose a dynamical mode-mode coupling theory is developed based on the coupled Bethe-Salpeter equations. In order to investigate the region of the phase diagram not too far from the tetracritical point where the magnetic spin density wave, (SDW) and superconducting (SC) transition temperatures coincide, we also construct a Ginzburg - Landau functional including both SC and SDW fluctuations in a critical region above the transition temperatures. The fluctuation corrections tend to suppress the magnetic transition, but in the superconducting channel the intraband and interband contribution of the fluctuations nearly compensate each other.

Quelle place pour la littérature bulgare dans “La République mondiale des Lettres”?

Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2015

description: Considering the case of Bulgarian literature in France, Vrinat-Nikolov suggests that forming a general stereotype of the source-culture within the target-culture may be productive. She also argues for adopting a “foreignising” (L. Venuti), yet not “exoticising” strategy of translation, and implicitly links this translatology issue to the culturological concept of ‘self-colonisation’. Promoting Bulgarian literature abroad should rely on the cumulative effect of efforts by the different agents of the Bulgarian literary field, beginning with a translational strategy focused on recreating a poetics (after H. Meschonnic), which could enhance the appeal even of a literature as unappealing as Bulgarian literature in France.

description: We analyze the performance of quantum annealing as a heuristic optimization method to find the absolute minimum of various continuous models, including landscapes with only two wells and also models with many competing minima and with disorder. The simulations performed using a projective quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) algorithm are compared with those based on the finite-temperature path-integral QMC technique and with classical annealing. We show that the projective QMC algorithm is more efficient than the finite-temperature QMC technique, and that both are inferior to classical annealing if this is performed with appropriate long-range moves. However, as the difficulty of the optimization problem increases, classical annealing looses efficiency, while the projective QMC algorithm keeps stable performance and is finally the most effective optimization tool. We discuss the implications of our results for the outstanding problem of testing the efficiency of adiabatic quantum computers using stochastic simulations performed on classical computers.

description: We extend the event-chain Monte Carlo algorithm from hard-sphere interactions to the micro-canonical ensemble (constant potential energy) for general potentials. This event-driven Monte Carlo algorithm is non-local, rejection-free, and allows for the breaking of detailed balance. The algorithm uses a discretized potential, but its running speed is asymptotically independent of the discretization. We implement the algorithm for the cut-off linear potential, and discuss its possible implementation directly in the continuum limit.

description: We investigate the application of our recent holographic entanglement negativity conjecture for higher dimensional conformal field theories to specific examples which serve as crucial consistency checks. In this context we compute the holographic entanglement negativity for bipartite pure and finite temperature mixed state configurations in $d$-dimensional conformal field theories dual to bulk pure $AdS_{d+1}$ geometry and $AdS_{d+1}$-Schwarzschild black holes respectively. It is observed that the holographic entanglement negativity characterizes the distillable entanglement for the finite temperature mixed states through the elimination of the thermal contributions. Significantly our examples correctly reproduce universal features of the entanglement negativity for corresponding two dimensional conformal field theories, in higher dimensions.

description: We present a relaxation scheme for approximating the entropy dissipating weak solutions of the Baer-Nunziato two-phase flow model. This relaxation scheme is straightforwardly obtained as an extension of the relaxation scheme designed in [16] for the isentropic Baer-Nunziato model and consequently inherits its main properties. To our knowledge, this is the only existing scheme for which the approximated phase fractions, phase densities and phase internal energies are proven to remain positive without any restrictive condition other than a classical fully computable CFL condition. For ideal gas and stiffened gas equations of state, real values of the phasic speeds of sound are also proven to be maintained by the numerical scheme. It is also the only scheme for which a discrete entropy inequality is proven, under a CFL condition derived from the natural sub-characteristic condition associated with the relaxation approximation. This last property, which ensures the non-linear stability of the numerical method, is satisfied for any admissible equation of state. We provide a numerical study for the convergence of the approximate solutions towards some exact Riemann solutions. The numerical simulations show that the relaxation scheme compares well with two of the most popular existing schemes available for the Baer-Nunziato model, namely Schwendeman-Wahle-Kapila's Godunov-type scheme [39] and Toro-Tokareva's HLLC scheme [42]. The relaxation scheme also shows a higher precision and a lower computational cost (for comparable accuracy) than a standard numerical scheme used in the nuclear industry, namely Rusanov's scheme. Finally, we assess the good behavior of the scheme when approximating vanishing phase solutions.

description: We present the discovery of 11 new double degenerate systems containing extremely low-mass white dwarfs (ELM WDs). Our radial velocity observations confirm that all of the targets have orbital periods $\leq$ 1 day. We perform spectroscopic fits and provide a complete set of physical and binary parameters. We review and compare recent evolutionary calculations and estimate that the systematic uncertainty in our mass determinations due to differences in the evolutionary models is small ($\approx$ 0.01 M$_{\odot}$). Five of the new systems will merge due to gravitational wave radiation within a Hubble time, bringing the total number of merger systems found in the ELM Survey to 38. We examine the ensemble properties of the current sample of ELM WD binaries, including the period distribution as a function of effective temperature, and the implications for the future evolution of these systems. We also revisit the empirical boundaries of instability strip of ELM WDs and identify new pulsating ELM WD candidates. Finally, we consider the kinematic properties of our sample of ELM WDs and estimate that a significant fraction of the WDs from the ELM Survey are members of the Galactic halo.

The Zero Suicide Program (ZSP) as a Strategy for Reduction and Prevention of Suicides Among Active Duty United States Air Force Members: A Program and Evaluation Plan
Creators: name: Anderson-Doze, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: The problem of suicide among our military members is one of growing concern for military commanders and political leaders alike. Traditionally the national suicide rates have usually remained higher than that of the military at about 20 per 100,000. Depending on whose calculations to believe though, it appears that the rate of rise in suicides is much higher in military members than among their civilian counterparts. Although not as high as the United States Army (USA), rates among members of the United States Air Force (USAF) have also been on the rise. The only formal program instituted by the USAF to counteract suicides is the USAF Suicide Prevention Program (SPP) launched over 18 years ago in 1996. Although it may have had a positive effect in the years immediately following its launch, recent figures both published and unpublished suggest that effect no longer seems to be present. This paper begins with a review of existing suicide prevention programs by first outlining the results of a systematic review of the published literature. A proposed Zero Suicides Program (ZSP) model to update and improve the current existing SPP, will then be introduced. This will be accomplished with a focus on causal factors possibly unique to the USAF, by describing its relevant theory basis, goals and objectives, implementation, logic model and evaluation plan. Implementation of the ZSP will be accomplished by meeting a series of short and long term objectives, with an eventual goal of wide spread dissemination to the Air Force and military wide community.

description: Maps help people find their way in both a real and a metaphorical sense. Material maps are flanked by mental maps. What does the literary map of Europe display for informed readers willing to invest their newly acquired knowledge in it? Does what is displayed depend only on the nationality of those holding the map, or on the constraints of their educational canons? The pilot study presented in this article was carried out in 2011-2012, by the St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia and the Johannes-Gutenberg University of Mainz. Residents of Europe who have at least secondary education were asked to convey their spontaneous literary-historical associations regarding individual European countries. The results are represented in a number of typified geographical maps which help focus on the differences, commonalities and peculiarities that characterise the respective groups’ associations and the mental maps behind them.

Team Performance in Pediatric Resuscitation: Validation Study of a Checklist Tool
Creators: name: Golike, Eric
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Background: Poor in-hospital survival of patients receiving pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation suggests potential for substantial quality improvement. Achieving best outcomes in pediatric resuscitation require a complex set of team skills, but proficiency in these team skills is difficult for residents to develop and practicing physicians to maintain. The next step for improvement in pediatric resuscitation survival will likely come from a greater understanding of team effectiveness generated through performance and outcome measurements. This requires valid and reliable performance assessment tools tailored explicitly to the activities associated with pediatric resuscitation. Objective: To assess the validity and retest the reliability of a pediatric resuscitation performance assessment tool. Methods: We used inter-rater comparisons of overall checklist scores and procedure time points resulting from six team exercises performed by teams at three levels of experience. The teams were evaluated performing pediatric resuscitation scenarios on a high-fidelity mannequin using a previously developed checklist tool. Two teams each of three PEM physicians, three pediatric residents, or three medical students from two different academic centers each completed 3 scenarios. Checklist overall scores and key procedure time points were recorded and compared between two evaluators. Results: The checklist demonstrated significant evidence for construct validity through the divergence in expert (PEM) and non-expert (resident and medical student) team overall scores. The trends in key procedure time points suggested better performance with increasing skill level. Inter-rater reliability was reconfirmed to show substantial agreement. Conclusion: This checklist provides a valid and reliable tool for pediatric resuscitation overall team performance assessment. The next step will be to assess the checklist consequential validity through measuring team outcomes.

description: Structural Causal Models are widely used in causal modelling, but how they relate to other modelling tools is poorly understood. In this paper we provide a novel perspective on the relationship between Ordinary Differential Equations and Structural Causal Models. We show how, under certain conditions, the asymptotic behaviour of an Ordinary Differential Equation under non-constant interventions can be modelled using Dynamic Structural Causal Models. In contrast to earlier work, we study not only the effect of interventions on equilibrium states; rather, we model asymptotic behaviour that is dynamic under interventions that vary in time, and include as a special case the study of static equilibria.

The Gift of Literature
Creators: name: Hristov, Todor
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2015

description: The traumatic question “what has Bulgarian literature given to the world” acquired particular intensity in periods of crisis such as the Balkan Wars, and after 1989 and the subsequent Bulgarian EU accession. It is generally accepted that the value that Bulgarian literature transmits to the world lies in the identity it represented. The goal of the paper is to show that Bulgarian literature was constituted as a gift responding to the gift of world literature, yet ever unable to repay the debt incurred by its initial gift, and trying to alleviate its indebtedness by means of a specific language of exchange. Hristov believes that studying the literature on the value of Bulgarian literature will demonstrate that the notions of identity, recognition, value, translation, national and world literature have been inscribed in a scriptural economy blending gift and exchange in a peculiar way. He hopes that this economy emerged as a modification of the scriptural economy in which the notion of world literature had been embedded, and that it has been globalised into a universal literary economy.

The Concept of Skaz in M.M. Baxtin’s Theory of Narration
Creators: name: Marcialis, Nicoletta
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2015

description: Literary scholarship still acknowledges M. Baxtin’s important role in understanding and defining skaz. In this paper I aim to analyze exactly what Baxtin wrote about skaz, in order to verify whether we can speak about a precise “baxtinian idea” of the term and its semantics. Taking the lively discussion of literary criticism of the 1920s into account, it could be said that neither Baxtin himself, nor any other scholar of the time ever succeded in offering a convincing formulation of what exactly the word skaz means. Baxtin’s focus on the “double-voiced utterance” is complementary to, but does not substitute the emphasis which Ejxenbaum put on the mimesis of the spoken word. This, in turn, does not exclude Vinogradov’s emphasis on a stylistic interpretation. Since the beginning, and up to the present day, the term skaz implies several semantic fields: it may indicate a form of composition (a literary genre), a genuine “spoken wording” (or “spoken language”), but its transmission in the context of folklore as well. It is used to indicate the narration a writer attributes to one of his characters as an “oral account” which may be dominated simply by orality (spoken forms) or by the “double-voiced utterance”. Through my argumentation, I try to delimitate the broad semantic spectrum of the term skaz, which may be defined as follows: to produce an oral narration within a literary text in such a way that the linguistic alterity of the oral message may be a “sign” of a specific cultural alterity, more exactly the alterity of folklore.

description: We propose a covariant holographic conjecture for the entanglement negativity of mixed states in bipartite systems described by $d$-dimensional conformal field theories dual to bulk non static $AdS_{d+1}$ configurations. Application of our conjecture to $(1+1)$-dimensional conformal field theories dual to bulk rotating BTZ black holes exactly reproduces the corresponding entanglement negativity in the large central charge limit and characterizes the distillable entanglement. We further demonstrate that our conjecture applied to the case of bulk extremal rotating BTZ black holes also characterizes the entanglement negativity for the chiral half of the corresponding zero temperature $(1+1)$-dimensional holographic conformal field theories.

description: In this paper we consider the problem u in H^1_0 (Omega), - div (A(x) Du) = H(x, u, Du) + f(x) + a_0 (x) u in D'(Omega), where Omega is an open bounded set of R^N, N \geq 3, A(x) is a coercive matrix with coefficients in L^\infty(Omega), H(x, s, xi) is a Carathéodory function which satisfies for some gamma > 0 -c_0 A(x) xi xi \leq H(x, s, xi) sign (s) \leq gamma A(x) xi xi a.e. x in Omega, forall s in R, forall xi in R^N, f belongs to L^{N/2} (Omega), and a_0 \geq 0 to L^q (Omega ), q > N/2. For f and a_0 sufficiently small, we prove the existence of at least one solution u of this problem which is moreover such that e^{delta_0 |u|} - 1 belongs to H^1_0 (Omega) for some delta_0 \geq gamma, and which satisfies an a priori estimate.

Names and Attributes of the Mother of God. For a Church Slavonic-Russian-Italian Lexicon of Religious Terms
Creators: name: Ferro, Maria Chiara
name: Romoli, Francesca
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2015

description: In direct continuity with a previous essay on the study of a selection of attributes referred to the Christian God (Ferro, Romoli 2013), the authors analyze a number of epithets and attributes addressed to the Mother of God or defining her qualities. These words are frequently used in medieval Eastern Slavic literature, they are usually stated in the most authoritative dictionaries of Old and Church Slavonic languages, and remain generally unchanged in modern Russian. Within the project of a trilingual (Church Slavonic-Russian-Italian) lexicon, the essay aims to show how the translation of religious terms goes beyond linguistics, as the question of correspondence or lack of correspondence in concepts and contexts of reference often arises. Since general dictionaries frequently fail to provide satisfactory solutions, it is necessary to go back to the origins, semantics and use of the terms through the systematic use of different types of dictionaries. In addition, in order to provide a proper Italian translation, the use of dictionaries of the Italian language is also fundamental.

A vine copula mixed effect model for trivariate meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies accounting for disease prevalence

description: A bivariate copula mixed model has been recently proposed to synthesize diagnostic test accuracy studies and it has been shown that is superior to the standard generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) in this context. Here we call trivariate vine copulas to extend the bivariate meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies by accounting for disease prevalence. Our vine copula mixed model includes the trivariate GLMM as a special case and can also operate on the original scale of sensitivity, specificity, and disease prevalence. Our general methodology is illustrated by re-analysing the data of two published meta-analyses. Our study suggests that there can be an improvement on trivariate GLMM in fit to data and makes the argument for moving to vine copula random effects models especially because of their richness including reflection asymmetric tail dependence, and, computational feasibility despite their three-dimensionality.

Moment Varieties of Gaussian Mixtures

Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)

description: The points of a moment variety are the vectors of all moments up to some order of a family of probability distributions. We study this variety for mixtures of Gaussians. Following up on Pearson's classical work from 1894, we apply current tools from computational algebra to recover the parameters from the moments. Our moment varieties extend objects familiar to algebraic geometers. For instance, the secant varieties of Veronese varieties are the loci obtained by setting all covariance matrices to zero. We compute the ideals of the 5-dimensional moment varieties representing mixtures of two univariate Gaussians, and we offer a comparison to the maximum likelihood approach.

The Ark of the Translator. From the Experience of Translating the Anthology At the End of the World: Contemporary Poetry from Bulgaria (Shearsman Books, Bristol 2012)
Creators: name: Elenkova, Cvetanka
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2015

description: Being a poet, a translator and a publisher, the author claims that the current global literary scene has nothing to complain about. It is talent (and especially a talent for marketing) that ensures writers and their works a ‘place in the sun’, or, to use the key image of the essay, a place in the new Noah’s Ark, namely the corpus of literary works translated into English.

Itinerant electron scenario for Fe-based superconductors

description: I review works on Fe-based superconductors which depart from a metal with well defined Fermi surfaces and Fermi liquid-type quasiparticles. I consider normal state instabilities -- SDW magnetism and nematic order, and superconductivity, all three as the consequences of the instability of a Fermi surface due to interactions between low-energy fermionic quasiparticles. This approach assumes that renormalizations coming from fermions from high energies, of order bandwidth, modify but do not destroy Fermi liquid behavior in the normal state and can be absorbed into the effective low-energy model of interacting fermions located near hole and electron-type Fermi surfaces. I argue that the interactions between these fermions are responsible for (i) a stripe-type SDW magnetic order (and, in some cases, a checkerboard order), (ii) a preliminary nematic-type instability, in which magnetic fluctuations break $C_4$ lattice rotational symmetry down to $C_2$, but magnetic order does not yet develop, and (iii) a superconductivity, which competes with these two orders. The experimental data on superconductivity show rich behavior with potentially different symmetry of a superconducting state even for different compositions of the same material. I argue that, despite all this, the physics of superconductivity in the itinerant scenario for Fe-based materials is governed by a single underlying pairing mechanism.

Asymmetries of Translation
Creators: name: Gorčeva, Maja
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2015

description: Given the incompatibility between aesthetic and economic approaches to literary translation, the A. perceives a lack of creative initiative in the international socialisation of Bulgarian literature within its literary field (and especially in the subfield of criticism). Together with a probable inability to (re)integrate ethnically Bulgarian emigré writers, this gives Bulgarian literature a “repellent capacity”. Pointing at non-mainstream developments in both literature and translation may offer a way out: Gorčeva recommends abundant analytical and not self-exoticising self-representation. She also stresses that not only interliterary ‘export’ but also ‘import’ forges a literature’s status, and suggests that “small” literatures can take part in interliterary communication as equals in so far as they have the opportunity to keep on translating not in an assimilative but in a foreignising manner.
