description: A positively charged, mixed bilayer vesicle in the presence of negatively charged surfaces (for example, colloidal particles) can spontaneously partition into an adhesion zone of definite area, and another zone that repels additional negative objects. Although the membrane itself has nonnegative charge in the repulsive zone, negative counterions on the interior of the vesicle spontaneously aggregate there, and present a net negative charge to the exterior. Beyond the fundamental result that oppositely charged objects can repel, our mechanism helps explain recent experiments on surfactant vesicles.

description: Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various industries, including project management, by automating processes, enhancing decision-making, and improving efficiency. This study examines the impact of AI on project management in selected companies in Mogadishu, Somalia. The research explores AI’s role in project planning, risk assessment, resource allocation, and overall project success.

Using a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through surveys and interviews with project managers, AI specialists, and industry professionals. The findings indicate that AI-driven tools significantly enhance project planning accuracy, improve risk prediction, and streamline workflow automation. However, challenges such as AI bias, data security concerns, and resistance to technological adoption hinder full implementation. The study highlights the importance of balancing AI integration with human oversight to ensure ethical and effective project management practices.

The study recommends investing in AI literacy programs, strengthening data governance policies, and developing frameworks for ethical AI usage in project management. These findings provide valuable insights for organizations, policymakers, and project managers seeking to leverage AI for improved project outcomes while addressing its challenges.

description: Ambient temperature is a primary factor affecting the physiology and activity of reptiles. Thermoregulation involves a series of mechanisms to maintain an organism's body temperature within a narrow range. The study of thermal ecology of lizards is relevant for understanding their distribution, life history, ecology and thermal requirements. Moreover, determining how species are able to attain physiologically active body temperatures in challenging environments is necessary for assessing the risk of extinction due to climate change, especially for threatened endemic species. We evaluated and compared the thermal ecology of two populations of the viviparous lizard Barisia imbricata, at contrasting elevations (2,200 and 3,700 m). We obtained variation in thermal data from winter through autumn for multiple years. We determined thermal efficiency indices based on field active body temperatures, preferred temperatures (in a thermal gradient), and operative environmental temperatures (according to null models). We also recorded substrate and air temperatures at the time of capture. Mean body temperature of both populations showed a positive correlation with environmental temperatures. We found significant seasonal differences in body temperature in both populations, and between body temperatures of the two populations. Our results suggest that B. imbricata is an eurythermic species and can thermoregulate actively at any given time. However, when environmental temperatures are within the range of preferred temperatures, the species does not engage in thermoregulatory behavior. This information expands knowledge on the range of possible thermal responses to environmental variation within a species.

description: We argue that a new type of extremely light axion is generically present in the type IIB part of the string theory landscape. Its mass is suppressed by the third power of the warp factor of a strongly warped region (Klebanov-Strassler throat), suggesting the name thraxion. Our observation is based on the generic presence of several throats sharing the same 2-cycle. This cycle shrinks to zero volume at the end of each throat. It is hence trivial in homology and the corresponding $C_2$ axion is massive. However, the mass is warping-suppressed since, if one were to cut off the strongly warped regions, a proper 2-cycle would re-emerge. Since the kinetic term of the axion is dominated in the UV, an even stronger, quadratic mass suppression results. Moreover, if the axion is excited, the angular modes of the throats backreact. This gives our effective $C_2$ axion a finite monodromy and flattens its potential even further. Eventually, the mass turns out to scale as the third power of the warp factor. We briefly discuss possible implications for phenomenology and potential violations of the Weak Gravity Conjecture for axions. Moreover we identify a mechanism for generating super-Planckian axionic field ranges which we call drifting monodromies. However, in the examples we consider, the potential oscillates on sub-Planckian distances in field space, preventing us from building a natural inflation model on the basis of this idea.

description: We propose a new model of inflation based on the soft-breaking of N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. The advantage of such a model is the fact that we can write an exact expression for the effective scalar potential, including non-perturbative effects, which preserves the analyticity and duality properties of the Seiberg-Witten solution. We find that the scalar condensate that plays the role of the inflaton can drive a long period of cosmological expansion, produce the right amount of temperature anisotropies in the microwave background, and end inflation when the monopole acquires a vacuum expectation value. Duality properties relate the weak coupling Higgs region where inflation takes place with the strong coupling monopole region, where reheating occurs, creating particles corresponding to the light degrees of freedom in the true vacuum.

title: Beam-spin asymmetry of deeply virtual Compton scattering off the proton at 10.6 GeVwith CLAS12 at Jefferson Laboratory
Creators: name: Christiaens, Guillaume
Publisher: name: Unversity of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: This thesis presents the measurements of beam-spin asymmetry (BSA) of deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) off the proton at 10.6 GeV with the CLAS12 spectrometer at Jefferson Laboratory. This data will provide, in the valence region, high energy DVCS measurements, to help constrain nucleon structure physics models. The data used in this thesis was taken at Jefferson Laboratory (Virginia, USA). The CLAS12 spectrometer, installed in the experimental hall B, receives a longitudinally polarized electron beam accelerated to up to 10.6 GeV. CLAS12 provides the identification and reconstruction of the particles obtained from the interaction of the electron beam with a fixed liquid hydrogen target. Micromegas detectors were used to improve the tracking resolution within the CLAS12 spectrometer. This thesis provides a description of the assembly, integration and operation of Micromegas detectors. The integration of the Micromegas detectors with the other CLAS12 sub-systems, the integration of the gas and software systems as well as tests and studies performed during the commissioning are detailed. In this thesis, the DVCS process was extracted from the data collected by CLAS12 and the BSA was computed. The emphasis was put on the exclusive selection of DVCS signal and the estimation of the π0 electroproduction background. The DVCS exclusivity variables and the positions of the exclusivity cuts were optimised to reduce the π0 electroproduction background and the remaining contamination was estimated from a Monte-Carlo simulation. The BSA was extracted for 240 kinematic bins with: ten φ bins, four t bins, three xB bins and two Q2 bins.

description: Matrix-matrix multiplication is a key computational kernel for numerous applications in science and engineering, with ample parallelism and data locality that lends itself well to high-performance implementations. Many matrix multiplication-dependent applications can use reduced-precision integer or fixed-point representations to increase their performance and energy efficiency while still offering adequate quality of results. However, precision requirements may vary between different application phases or depend on input data, rendering constant-precision solutions ineffective. BISMO, a vectorized bit-serial matrix multiplication overlay for reconfigurable computing, previously utilized the excellent binary-operation performance of FPGAs to offer a matrix multiplication performance that scales with required precision and parallelism. We show how BISMO can be scaled up on Xilinx FPGAs using an arithmetic architecture that better utilizes 6-LUTs. The improved BISMO achieves a peak performance of 15.4 binary TOPS on the Ultra96 board with a Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoC.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: The objective of this report is to evaluate and develop improved methods, equipment, layout, and operating practices for packaging produce at the central warehouse and to compare costs of central warehouse packaging with the most commonly used systems of packaging produce at the retail store. Research on the packaging of produce in the retail store was reported in a previous report. The study reported here measures the direct and indirect costs of packaging at the store and central warehouse. It does not measure the merchandising effectiveness of the packaging techniques used, the effect of rewrap costs on total system costs, or the possible differences in product shrinkage when packaging in either location. This report is limited to those higher volume produce items that are typically packaged in a tray (or folding box). These items include table-sized round fruit typically packaged six per tray (apples, oranges, peaches, and pears which henceforth will be referred to as "6-pack") and beans, corn, grapes, lemons, plums, squash, and tomatoes. The report does not evaluate the alternative packaging materials available but develops labor and materials costs only for the several methods and materials used most frequently at the store and warehouse. The equipment used in the cost analysis of warehouse packaging is that most commonly used by firms that centrally package trayed produce.

description: We calculate the Wigner function for massive spin-1/2 particles in an inhomogeneous electromagnetic field to leading order in the Planck constant $\hbar$. Going beyond leading order in $\hbar$ we then derive a generalized Boltzmann equation in which the force exerted by an inhomogeneous electromagnetic field on the particle dipole moment arises naturally. Carefully taking the massless limit we find agreement with previous results. The case of global equilibrium with rotation is also studied. Finally, we outline the derivation of fluid-dynamical equations from the components of the Wigner function. The conservation of total angular momentum is promoted as an additional fluid-dynamical equation of motion. Our framework can be used to study polarization effects induced by vorticity and magnetic field in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

description: We derive a system of TBA equations governing the exact WKB periods in one-dimensional Quantum Mechanics with arbitrary polynomial potentials. These equations provide a generalization of the ODE/IM correspondence, and they can be regarded as the solution of a Riemann-Hilbert problem in resurgent Quantum Mechanics formulated by Voros. Our derivation builds upon the solution of similar Riemann-Hilbert problems in the study of BPS spectra in $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories and of minimal surfaces in AdS. We also show that our TBA equations, combined with exact quantization conditions, provide a powerful method to solve spectral problems in Quantum Mechanics. We illustrate our general analysis with a detailed study of PT-symmetric cubic oscillators and quartic oscillators.

description: We explore the density and spin self-ordering of driven spin-$1/2$ collisionless fermionic atoms coupled to the electromagnetic fields of a ring resonator. The two spin states are two-photon Raman-coupled via a pair of degenerate counterpropagating cavity modes and two transverse pump fields. In this one-dimensional configuration the coupled atom-field system possesses a continuous $U(1)$ translational symmetry and a discrete $\mathbf{Z}_2$ spin inversion symmetry. At half filling for sufficiently strong pump strengths, the combined $U(1)\times \mathbf{Z}_2$ symmetry is spontaneously broken at the onset of a superradiant phase transition to a state with self-ordered density and spin structures. We predominately find an antiferromagnetic lattice order at the cavity wavelength. The self-ordered states exhibit unexpected positive momentum pair correlations between fermions with opposite spin. These strong cavity-mediated correlations vanish at higher pump strength.

description: Traffic demand in the access has grown in the last years, and service providers need to upgrade their infrastructure to the latest access standards. While fiber has become the preferred technology of choice in access networks, there are many fibre access technologies available in the market. This poses a challenging question to operators not always easy to answer: how to upgrade? what technology and for how long it will cope with the demands? In this paper we model the traffic forecast in the access for the next decade and analyze possible upgrade scenarios of fibre access networks, concluding which of the NG-PON flavors could better fit the demand.

description: The charged Nariai spacetimes are the exact solutions of Einstein-Maxwell field equations with positive cosmological constant and such a spacetime is the direct topological product of a $2$-dimentional de-Sitter spacetime with a round $2$-sphere of constant radius. The present paper deals with the investigation of curvature restricted geometric structures admitted by the charged Nariai spacetime metric and it is shown that such a spacetime is locally symmetric, $2$-quasi-Einstein and $Ein(2)$-space. Moreover it realizes the pseudosymmetric type conditions such as Ricci generalized projectively pseudosymmetric and pseudosymmetric due to Weyl conformal curvature tensor. It is interesting to note that the energy momentum tensor can be expressed explicitly with the help of some $1$-forms. We also evaluate the curvature properties of charged Nariai type topological product metric, and it is found that such metric is semisymmetric but not locally symmetric and under certain restrictions belongs to the family of generalized class of recurrent manifolds. Finally we end up our findings with some concluding remarks.

title: Epidemiological Aspects of Ischaemic Heart Disease in Amman, Jordan

Year: 1980

description: Research into the prevalence of ischaemic heart disease and associated risk factors was carried out in Amman, Jordan between 1.4.1978 and 31.3.1979. The study population comprised 1,444 men and 963 women aged 30-60 working in the same organization. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of ischaemic heart disease; to compare the associated risk factors and their prevalence in different age and sex groups; to initiate studies of incidence in this population; and to provide a basis for preventive programmes. The data were collected by an interviewer-administered standard questionnaire. It included the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine cardio-vascular questionnaire and questions on exercise in leisure time, diet, smoking, alcohol and oral contraceptive use. It also included questions on social and demographic variables, family and past history. Physical examination included measurement of height, weight and blood pressure. A standard resting 12-lead ECG was recorded and the tracings classified by two observers according to the Minnesota code. Plasma cholesterol and fasting blood glucose were estimated. The methods and instructions for the interviews, examinations and measurements were standardized and based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization (Rose and Blackburn, 1968). The methods were tested for reliability and validity. The collected data were punched on IBM cards, four cards being used for each individual. The data were edited verified and then transferred to tapes .Univariate and multivariate analyses were used. The results of the study showed that there was a high prevalence of ischaemic heart disease in this cohort. They also showed a significant correlation between ischaemic heart disease and hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension, cigarette smoking, physical inactivity and type A behaviour pattern. There were fewer cases of ischaemic heart disease among those who ate protective diet than those who ate detrimental diet. This difference was statistically significant only with ischaemic-type ECG changes without symptoms. A similar trend was observed with fat intake. The difference was statistically significant only with ischaemic-type ECG changes and ischaemic-type ECG changes without symptoms. There was, however, a significant inverse correlation between ischaemic heart disease and high fibre diet from brown bread intake. Hyperglycaemia was associated with prevalence of ischaemic heart disease in univariate analysis, but this association may not be independent of other risk factors as it was not evident in multivariate analysis. A lack of a significant and independent correlation was also noted with body mass index. The results of the study suggest that rapid urbanization and development and adoption of affluent and sedentary lifestyles may be associated with increased risk of ischaemic heart disease. They identify a need for preventive action and further research,

description: We consider the gauge neutral matter in the low--energy effective action for string theory compactification on a \cym\ with $(2,2)$ world--sheet supersymmetry. At the classical level these states (the \sing's of $E_6$) correspond to the cohomology group $H^1(\M,{\rm End}\>T)$. We examine the first order contribution of instantons to the mass matrix of these particles. In principle, these corrections depend on the \K\ parameters $t_i$ through factors of the form $e^{2\p i t_i}$ and also depend on the complex structure parameters. For simplicity we consider in greatest detail the quintic threefold $\cp4[5]$. It follows on general grounds that the total mass is often, and perhaps always, zero. The contribution of individual instantons is however nonzero and the contribution of a given instanton may develop poles associated with instantons coalescing for certain values of the complex structure. This can happen when the underlying \cym\ is smooth. Hence these poles must cancel between the coalescing instantons in order that the superpotential be finite. We examine also the \Y\ couplings involving neutral matter \ysing\ and neutral and charged fields \ymix, which have been little investigated even though they are of phenomenological interest. We study the general conditions under which these couplings vanish classically. We also calculate the first--order world--sheet instanton correction to these couplings and argue that these also vanish.

description: One of the fundamental challenges for quantum cosmology is to explain the emergence of our macroscopic Universe from physics at the Planck scale. In the group field theory (GFT) approach to quantum gravity, such a macroscopic universe results from the formation of a "condensate" of fundamentally discrete degrees of freedom. It has been shown that the effective dynamics of such GFT condensates follows the classical Friedmann dynamics at late times, while avoiding the classical singularity by a bounce akin to the one of loop quantum cosmology (LQC). It was also shown how quantum fluctuations in a GFT condensate provide an initial power spectrum of volume fluctuations around exact homogeneity. Here we connect the results for quantum fluctuations in GFT to the usual formalism for cosmological perturbations within quantum field theory in curved spacetime. We consider a bouncing universe filled with a massless scalar field, in which perturbations are generated by vacuum fluctuations in the contracting phase. Matching conditions at the bounce are provided by working within LQC. We then compare the results to the GFT condensate scenario for quantum gravity with massless scalar matter. Here, instead, an initial quantum phase described by a GFT condensate generates initial scalar perturbations through quantum fluctuations. We show general agreement in the predictions of both approaches, suggesting that GFT condensates can provide a physical mechanism for the emergence of a slightly inhomogeneous universe from full quantum gravity.

description: The hot ISM in early type galaxies (ETGs) plays a crucial role in understanding their formation and evolution. The structural features of the hot gas identified by Chandra observations point to key evolutionary mechanisms, (e.g., AGN and stellar feedback, merging history). In our Chandra Galaxy Atlas (CGA) project, taking full advantage of the Chandra capabilities, we systematically analyzed the archival Chandra data of 70 ETGs and produced uniform data products for the hot gas properties. The primary data products are spatially resolved 2D spectral maps of the hot gas from individual galaxies. We emphasize that new features can be identified in the spectral maps which are not readily visible in the surface brightness maps. The high-level images can be viewed at the dedicated CGA website, and the CGA data products can be downloaded to compare with data at other wavelengths and to perform further analyses. Utilizing our data products, we address a few focused science topics.

description: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy with the proliferation of malignant plasma cells. Numerous studies have highlighted the critical role of ferroptosis in MM. However, how to use ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) for prognostic prediction and treatment guidance in MM remains unknown. By analysis of GEO databases, the prognostic gene was identified and a therapeutic strategy for MM patients based on FRGs was explored. A total of 12 FRGs were identified, utilizing the STRING database and Cytoscape software, and the PPI networks were constructed to identify hub genes and further functional enrichment analyses. Based on the aforementioned data, this study analyzed the expression of RUVBL2 in MM patients by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. To validate the functional role of RUVBL2 in the MM cells, cellular experiments were ultimately conducted. The analysis highlighted six hub genes, including TP53, MCM5, TLR4, RUVBL2, GCLM and ITGA6, and functional enrichment analyses indicating enrichment in DNA replication, regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Prognostic analysis indicated that TP53, RUVBL2, and MCM5 are associated with MM prognosis, with RUVBL2 displaying a notable area under the curve (AUC) of 0.823 in ROC analysis. The study first determined that RUVBL2 is highly expressed in MM, siRUVBL2-mediated deletion of RUVBL2 inhibited proliferation, promoted apoptosis and increased the sensitivity of BTZ in MM cells, and also overcame BTZ resistance in CD138+ primary cells from MM patients. Our study first suggested that RUVBL2 may be regarded as potential therapeutic targets and prognostic value in MM.

description: Excerpts from the report: The analysis of mechanical warehouse price marking in this study is based on a hypothetical warehousing firm with a $40 million annual grocery volume. The firm's shipments are assumed to be equally divided among 5 days of each week. Twenty percent of the items require hand stamping, a function accomplished at the retail store, and 30 percent of the cases must be opened by hand. Presumably, 70 percent of the items are double-layer cases and 30 percent are single-layer cases. The wage scale at the retail store, for purposes of this analysis, is $2.60 per hour and $3 per hour at the warehouse. The objectives of this study include: (1) determining equipment available for price marking grocery products by machine ; (2) obtaining production rates and costs for machine-performed pricing; (3) developing layouts, operating procedures, and cost estimates per case for central warehouse pricing that compare with those used for conventional pricing methods; (4) determining the extent of zone pricing (assigning the identical units of an item to different price categories) and frequency of price changes, and the effect of these factors on central price marking; and (5) evaluating consumer reaction to the particular type of price marks produced by the equipment used during this study (the multi-impression price marker).
An introduction to human consciousness

description: This text discusses human consciousness, focusing on its nature: what is it, what is it not? I intend to give an overview of the philosophical positions that have been taken by several scholars, starting with Descartes. In philosophers terms, it deals with the ontology (what is the nature?) and teleology (what is its function, if any?) of consciousness. For this reason, I don't discuss contemporary (neuroscientific) theories on consciousness, such as Dennett's multiple drafts model (Dennett, 1991)or integrated information theory (Tononi, 2008). I would be very happy if readers would go on and learn about such theories while keeping in mind the philosophical considerations I outline in this text.

description: Over the past decade, national research evaluation exercises, traditionally conducted using the peer review method, have begun opening to bibliometric indicators. The citations received by a publication are assumed as proxy for its quality, but they require standardization prior to use in comparative evaluation of organizations or individual scientists: the citation data must be standardized, due to the varying citation behavior across research fields. The objective of this paper is to compare the effectiveness of the different methods of normalizing citations, in order to provide useful indications to research assessment practitioners. Simulating a typical national research assessment exercise, he analysis is conducted for all subject categories in the hard sciences and is based on the Thomson Reuters Science Citation Index-Expanded. Comparisons show that the citations average is the most effective scaling parameter, when the average is based only on the publications actually cited.

description: We propose a general mechanism for stabilizing the dilaton against runaway to weak coupling. The method is based on features of the effective superpotential which arise for supersymmetric gauge theories which are not asymptotically free. Consideration of the 2PI effective action for bilinear operators of matter and gauge superfields allows one to overcome the obstacles to constructing a nonvanishing superpotential.

description: We explore mechanisms of orbital order decay in doped Mott insulators $R_{1-x}$(Sr,Ca)$_x$VO$_3$ ($R=\,$Pr,Y,La) caused by charged (Sr,Ca) defects. Our unrestricted Hartree-Fock analysis focuses on the combined effect of random, charged impurities and associated doped holes up to $x=0.5$. The study is based on a generalized multi-band Hubbard model for the relevant vanadium $t_{2g}$ electrons, and includes the long-range (i) Coulomb potentials of defects and (ii) electron-electron interactions. We show that the rotation of occupied $t_{2g}$ orbitals, induced by the electric field of defects, is a very efficient perturbation that largely controls the suppression of orbital order in these compounds. We investigate the inverse participation number spectra and find that electron states remain localized on few sites even in the regime where orbital order is collapsed. From the change of kinetic and superexchange energy we can conclude that the motion of doped holes, which is the dominant effect for the reduction of magnetic order in high-$T_c$ compounds, is of secondary importance here.

Implementation of a screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) program for alcohol use during pregnancy

Year: 2021

description: Purpose of Project: Implement a screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) program for alcohol use during pregnancy for women in their first trimester.Methodology: A quality improvement project with a convenience sample of two physicians, three medical assistants, and one nurse practitioner from a single obstetrical office trained to perform the SBIRT process for first trimester pregnant women. Screening results were tabulated with a retrospective chart reviews to collect demographic data and determine the number of patients at-risk. Office staff and clinicians were surveyed for feedback on the SBIRT process. Results: Implementation of SBIRT resulted in an increased number of women identified as at-risk for an alcohol-exposed pregnancy. Among 35 women who were screened for alcohol use, nine (26%) screened at-risk. All nine women (100%) received an immediate brief intervention from the health care provider. None required a referral to outside treatment. All six staff members and clinicians (100%) believed SBIRT was an effective way of identifying at-risk pregnant women for alcohol use, and four (66%) believed the office should continue to utilize SBIRT for alcohol use in pregnancy. Implications for Practice: The SBIRT process is easy to implement in the prenatal care setting. The screening process provides an opportunity to educate pregnant women about risks of alcohol use during pregnancy including risks of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. At-risk women receive a brief intervention with the goal of motivating healthier behavior and referral for treatment. The SBIRT process improves maternal and fetal safety as well as pregnancy outcomes.
