description: Topology in condensed matter physics manifests itself in the emergence of edge or surface states protected by underlying symmetries. We review two-dimensional topological insulators whose one-dimensional edge states are characterized by spin-momentum locking and protected by time-reversal symmetry. We focus in particular on their transport properties in the presence of electron interactions, which can allow the onset of different backscattering mechanisms, thus leading to deviations from the quantized conductance observed in the ballistic regime. The combined presence of helicity and electron interactions creates a new paradigm of the one-dimensional world called helical Luttinger liquid, whose theoretical properties and experimental observations are reviewed.

description: Ultravoilet (UV) absorption lines provide abundant spectroscopic information enabling the probe of the physical conditions in AGN outflows, but the outflow radii (and the energetics consequently) can only be determined indirectly. In this paper, we present the first direct test of these determinations using integral field unit (IFU) spectroscopy. We have conducted Gemini IFU mapping of the ionized gas nebulae surrounding two AGNs, whose outflow radii have been constrained by UV absorption line analyses. In Mrk 509, we find a quasi-spherical outflow with a radius of 1.2 kpc and a velocity of $\sim290$ km s$^{-1}$, while IRAS F04250$-$5718 is driving a biconical outflow extending out to 2.9 kpc, with a velocity of $\sim580$ km s$^{-1}$ and an opening angle of $\sim70^{\circ}$. The derived mass flow rate is $\sim5$ and $>1$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$, respectively, and the kinetic luminosity is $\gtrsim1\times10^{41}$ erg s$^{-1}$ for both. Adopting the outflow radii and geometric parameters measured from IFU, absorption line analyses would yield mass flow rates and kinetic luminosities in agreement with the above results within a factor of $\sim2$. We conclude that the spatial locations, kinematics and energetics revealed by this IFU emission-line study are consistent with pre-existing UV absorption line analyses, providing a long-awaited direct confirmation of the latter as an effective approach for characterizing outflow properties.

description: Background: Artificial intelligence applications are being widely adopted into our everyday lives and the health care setting. With nursing becoming an increasingly complex and demanding field, these technologies have great potential to support the monitoring of patient health, health promotion and care provision. However, the specific applications of AI in nursing and how to address barriers in their current usage is widely unexplored. Objectives: This scoping review aims to synthesize state of the art research in artificial intelligence-based technologies as applied in nursing practice. Methods: A scoping review is conducted following the framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. Pubmed, CINAHL, Web of Science and IEEE databases are searched from January 2010 to March 2021. Title and abstract screening and full-text review are performed using Covidence, where all articles are independently revised by two reviewers. We include articles written in the English language on experimental and observational studies with qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods approaches, which evaluate AI technologies applicable to nursing. Data are extracted to Excel by two researchers and summarised. Results: The scoping review and the journal article will be completed in June of 2021. The results will describe where research has been done, what AI technologies have been developed and studied, how these technologies have been evaluated and how nurses have participated and how ethical issues have been addressed in the research. Conclusion: Findings of this review will provide an overall state of artificial intelligence-based applications in nursing. This information is important in understanding critical issues that require attention for the safe use of AI in nursing.

Origin of the spectral upturn in the cosmic-ray C/Fe and O/Fe ratios
Creators: name: Tomassetti, Nicola
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The observed spectrum of Galactic cosmic rays has several exciting features such as the rise in the positron fraction above ~10 GeV of energy and the spectral hardening of protons and helium at ~300 GeV/nucleon of energy. The ATIC-2 experiment has recently reported an unexpected spectral upturn in the elemental ratios involving iron, such as the C/Fe or O/Fe ratios, at energy above 50 GeV per nucleon. It is recognized that the observed positron excess can be explained by pion production processes during diffusive shock acceleration of cosmic-ray hadrons in nearby sources. Recently, it was suggested that a scenario with nearby source dominating the GeV-TeV spectrum may be connected with the change of slope observed in protons and nuclei, which would be interpreted as a flux transition between the local component and the large-scale distribution of Galactic sources. Here I show that, under a two-component scenario with nearby source, the shape of the spectral transition is expected to be slightly different for heavy nuclei, such as iron, because their propagation range is spatially limited by inelastic collisions with the interstellar matter. This enables a prediction for the primary/primary ratios between light and heavy nuclei. From this effect, a spectral upturn is predicted in the C/Fe and O/Fe ratios in good accordance with the ATIC-2 data.

Perceived threat, in-group insularity, and anti-immigrant policy support
Creators: name: Smerbeck, James Ronald
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: There has recently been a sharp increase in support for anti-immigrant policies in Europe. This paper tests whether this increase can be explained by an in-group insularity (rooted in Social Identity Theory) felt by traditional natives toward immigrants, or whether it acts in tandem with perceived economic and demographic threat (rooted in Realistic Group Conflict Theory). I ran a cross-sectional OLS model that incorporated both in-group insularity and perceived threat across 14 European countries individually, and then a cross-national analysis controlling for state-level factors. The results demonstrated that in-group insularity is more powerful in explaining support for antiimmigrant policies than perceived threat.

description: Marlborough has experienced significant storms in the past few years that have triggered widespread and damaging landslides. This report presents an investigation of landslides occurring during the July 2021 and August 2022 storm events. For the July 2021 and August 2022 events, we mapped the distribution of landslides from remote imagery, analysed factors potentially controlling these distributions and sought to explain differences found between the two storms. For the August 2022 storm, we also undertook fieldwork to investigate nine building sites impacted by landslides. We assessed the building damage and related this to the landslide characteristics and also compared these relationships to similar data previously collected for buildings impacted by the July 2021 storm. Details of the 2021 rainfall event have been summarised in a previous companion report; here, we focus on describing the August 2022 storm. Over 1000 mm of rain fell in some areas during the 2022 storm event, which lasted from the 6th to the 19th of August, 2022. Landslides included mainly debris flows and slides, as well as incipient landsliding (evidenced by ground cracking) and re-activation of relict landslides. Compared to the July 2021 storm, landslides at the investigated building sites tended to be less mobile. Of the nine buildings investigated in detail, three were affected by slippage and six by debris inundation. Damage states (DS) of the buildings investigated ranged from 0 (no damage) to 5 (severe structural damage), with three classified as DS5.Landslide distributions in July 2021 and August 2022 do not seem to be controlled by the rainfall distribution alone. For both storms, the greatest number and density of landslides did not occur in the areas that received the highest rainfall. Most landslides were shallow and occurred on slopes in weathered schist or semi-schist. In 2021, the highest landslide densities were in harvested forests, and, in 2022, the highest landslide densities were in pasture and regenerating scrub communities. We recommend more detailed analysis of these datasets, and others, to determine possible landslide trigger thresholds and to conduct risk assessments for vulnerable areas, particularly in the Marlborough Sounds (auths)

Determining the Invasion Potential for the Harmful Blue-green Alga (Cyanobacterium) Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii at the Currituck Banks NERRS Site, Currituck Sound, North Carolina
Creators: name: Calandrino, Elizabeth Saunders
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii is an invasive, toxin-producing, filamentous-heterocystous, N2-fixing cyanobacterium that has recently expanded its range to temperate waterways. Because it is tolerant of a range of environmental conditions, brackish systems like Currituck Sound in northeastern NC, may be susceptible to invasion. Two key research questions were addressed: 1) Is C. raciborskii currently present in Currituck Sound? and 2) What conditions would favor its growth and expansion? In 2007, microscopic analysis confirmed that C. raciborskii was present in Currituck Sound. Metagenomic analyses demonstrated that it has the genetic potential to produce the cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin. In 2008, salinity in Currituck Sound had risen significantly and C. raciborskii was no longer present in Currituck Sound. The ability of C. raciborskii to grow in Currituck Sound water was assessed using a series of nutrient addition bioassay experiments and demonstrated that C. raciborskii can grow in this water and nitrogen additions increase its growth potential.

description: The distances between pairs of tactile stimuli oriented across the width of the hand dorsum are perceived as about 40% larger than equivalent distances oriented along the hand length. Clear anisotropies of varying magnitudes have been found on different sites on the limbs and less consistently on other parts of the body, with anisotropies on the center of the forehead, but not on the belly. Reported anisotropies on the center of the forehead, however, might reflect an artefact of categorical perception from the face midline, which might be comparable to the expansion of tactile distance perception observed for stimuli presented across joint boundaries. To test whether tactile anisotropy is indeed a general characteristic of the tactile representation of the face, we assessed the perceived distance between pairs of touches on the cheeks and three locations on the forehead: left, right, and center. Consistent with previous results, a clear anisotropy was apparent on the center of the forehead. Importantly, similar anisotropies were also evident on the left and right sides of the forehead and both cheeks. These results provide evidence that anisotropy of perceived tactile distance is not a specific feature of tactile organization at the limbs but it also exists for the face, and further suggest that the spatial distortions found for tactile distances that extend across multiple body parts are not present for stimuli that extend across the body midline.

description: We extend the null background construction of [arXiv:1505.05677,arXiv:1509.04718] to include torsion and a conserved spin current, and use it to study gauge and gravitational anomalies in Galilean theories coupled to torsional Newton-Cartan backgrounds. We establish that the relativistic anomaly inflow mechanism with an appropriately modified anomaly polynomial, can be used to generate these anomalies. Similar to relativistic case, we find that Galilean anomalies also survive only in even dimensions. Further, these anomalies only effect the gauge and rotational symmetries of a Galilean theory; in particular the Milne boost symmetry remains non-anomalous. We also extend the transgression machinery used in relativistic fluids to fluids on null backgrounds, and use it to determine how these anomalies affect the constitutive relations of a Galilean fluid. Unrelated to Galilean fluids, we propose an analogue of the off-shell second law of thermodynamics for relativistic fluids introduced by [arXiv:1106.0277], to include torsion and a conserved spin current in Vielbein formalism. Interestingly, we find that even in absense of spin and torsion the entropy currents in two formalisms are different; while the usual entropy current gets a contribution from gravitational anomaly, the entropy current in Vielbein formalism does not have any anomaly induced part.

description: The Institute of Geological & Nuclear Sciences (GNS Science), the National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research (NIWA) and Toka Tū Ake EQC see the benefits of risk modelling and risk science being accessible across a larger number of platforms. Oasis is used widely within the international insurance and re-insurance industries. If models developed for RiskScape™ were able to be deployed in Oasis, this may increase uptake by these sectors. The key difference between the two software engines is that RiskScape™ has the ability to combine hazard and exposure based on geospatial joins, whereas Oasis (standard implementation) utilises tabular data to combine hazard, exposure and vulnerability. Geospatial functionality may be included in an Oasis wrapper implementation by linking exposure files to GIS boundaries. RiskScape™ represents vulnerability as functions, whereas Oasis represents vulnerability as tabular data linked to hazard and exposure using keys. In both standard and wrapper Oasis implementation, RiskScape™ models will need to be modified to be inter-operable. For simple single-hazard models, standard implementation may be applicable; however, additional development would be required to convert hazard and vulnerability information to linked tables. If this process was to be done repeatedly, for example, because of model upgrades, it is recommended that this process be considered at the time of model development with conversion processes automated. For more complex models – multi-hazard, time-varying and high-spatial resolution – Oasis wrapper implementation may be more advantageous. This would also allow some of the geospatial and multi-hazard functionality of RiskScape™ to be carried across, as well as for consistency to be retained between model outputs. With wrapper implementation, less additional development is anticipated, although models will need to be compatible with Open Data Standard exposure inputs and have geospatial information provided numerically rather than spatially. A priority development step for RiskScape™ may be to accept Open Exposure Data files, with an option to output loss results as Open Results Data. We agree with Oasis that a proof-of-concept exercise to test inter-operability would be advantageous (auths)

description: We present Spitzer/Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) 5-21 micron spectroscopic maps towards 12 regions in the Andromeda galaxy (M31). These regions include the nucleus, bulge, an active region in the star-forming ring, and 9 other regions chosen to cover a range of mid-to-far-infrared colours. In line with previous results, PAH feature ratios (6.2 micron and 7.7 micron features compared to the 11.2 micron feature) measured from our extracted M31 spectra, except the nucleus, strongly correlate. The equivalent widths of the main PAH features, as a function of metallicity and radiation hardness, are consistent with those observed for other nearby spiral and starburst galaxies. Reprocessed data from the ISOCAM instrument on the Infrared Space Observatory agree with the IRS data; early reports of suppressed 6-8 micron features and enhanced 11.3 micron feature intensity and FWHM apparently resulted from background-subtraction problems. The nucleus does not show any PAH emission but does show strong silicate emission at 9.7 micron. Furthermore, different spectral features (11.3 micron PAH emission, silicate emission and [NeIII] 15.5 micron line emission) have distinct spatial distributions in the nuclear region: the silicate emission is strongest towards the stellar nucleus, while the PAH emission peaks 15 arcsec north of the nucleus. The PAH feature ratios at this position are atypical with strong emission at 11.2 microns and 15-20 microns but weak emission at 6--8 microns. The nucleus itself is dominated by stellar light giving rise to a strong blue continuum and silicate emission.

description: In Lagrangian stochastic collision models, a fictitious particle is generated to act as a collision partner, with a velocity correlated to the velocity of the real colliding particle. However, most often, the fluid velocity seen by this fictitious particles is not accounted for in the generation of the fictitious particle velocity, leading to a de-correlation between the fictitious particle velocity and the local fluid velocity, which, after collision, leads to an unrealistic de-correlation of the real particle velocity and the fluid velocity as seen by the particle. This de-correlation, in turn, causes a spurious decrease of the particle kinetic energy, even though the collisions are assumed perfectly elastic. In this paper, we propose a new model in which the generated fictitious particle velocity is correctly correlated to both the real particle velocity and the local fluid velocity at the particle, hence preventing the spurious loss of the total particle kinetic energy. The model is suitable for small inertial particles. Two algorithms for integrating the collision frequency are also compared to each other. The models are validated using large eddy simulation (LES) of mono-dispersed particle- laden stationary homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Simulations are conducted with spherical particles with different turbulent Stokes number, Stt = [0.75 − 5.8] , and volume fractions, alpha p = [0.014 − 0.044] , and are compared to the results of the LES using a deterministic discrete particle simulation model.

description: Yang-Baxter R operators symmetric with respect to the orthogonal and symplectic algebras are considered in an uniform way. Explicit forms for the spinorial and metaplectic R operators are obtained. L operators, obeying the RLL relation with the orthogonal or symplectic fundamental R matrix, are considered in the interesting cases, where their expansion in inverse powers of the spectral parameter is truncated. Unlike the case of special linear algebra symmetry the truncation results in additional conditions on the Lie algebra generators of which the L operators is built and which can be fulfilled in distinguished representations only. Further, generalised L operators, obeying the modified RLL relation with the fundamental R matrix replaced by the spinorial or metaplectic one, are considered in the particular case of linear dependence on the spectral parameter. It is shown how by fusion with respect to the spinorial or metaplectic representation these first order spinorial L operators reproduce the ordinary L operators with second order truncation.

description: Gamma-rays from hadronic collisions are expected from supernova remnants (SNRs) located near molecular clouds. The temperature on the shock interacting with the dense environment quickly reaches $10^5$ K. The radiative losses of plasma become essential in the evolution of SNRs. They decrease the thermal pressure and essentially increase the density behind the shock. The presence of ambient magnetic field may considerably alter the behavior of the post-adiabatic SNRs comparing to hydrodynamic scenario. In the present paper, the magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of radiative shocks in magnetic field are performed. High plasma compression due to the radiative losses results also in the prominent increase of the strength of the tangential component of magnetic field behind the shock and the decrease of the parallel one. If the strength of the tangential field before the shock is higher than about $3\mathrm{μG}$ it prevents formation of the very dense thin shell. The higher the strength of the tangential magnetic field the larger the thickness and the lower the maximum density in the radiative shell. Parallel magnetic field does not affect the distribution of the hydrodynamic parameters behind the shock. There are almost independent channels of energy transformations: radiative losses are due to the thermal energy, the magnetic energy increases by reducing the kinetic energy. The large density and high strength of the perpendicular magnetic field in the radiative shells of SNRs should result in considerable increase of the hadronic gamma-ray flux comparing to the leptonic one.

description: Performance requirements act as policy instruments for achieving broadly-defined economic and developmental objectives of States, especially industrial and technological development objectives. Many States consider that performance requirements distort trade and investment flows, negatively impact global and national welfare and disrupt investment decisions compared to business-as-usual scenarios. As a result, a number of States have committed to prohibiting performance requirements in international investment agreements (“IIAs.”). Performance requirement prohibitions (“PRPs”) are meant to eliminate trade-distorting performance requirements and performance requirements which replace investor decision-making by State decision-making. This thesis focuses on providing answers to two research questions: first, how do States prohibit performance requirements in IIAs? And second, how should PRPs in IIAs be interpreted and applied? For the first time, this thesis: proposes a comprehensive understanding of PRPs in IIAs by drawing notably on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (“GATT”) Uruguay Round of negotiations and on the United States Bilateral Investment Treaty (“BIT”) Programme; develops a detailed typology and analysis of PRPs in IIAs through the identification of systematically reproduced drafting patterns; conducts the first critical and in-depth analysis of all arbitral awards which have decided claims based on PRPs in IIAs; analyses interpretation and application issues related to provisions that exempt government procurement from PRPs and to reservations that shield sensitive non-conforming measures or strategically important sectors from PRPs; and anticipates the application of most-favoured nation (“MFN”) treatment clauses to PRPs in the future. Finally, this thesis formulates proposals that can help interpret and apply existing PRPs and draft future PRPs in a more deliberate and informed way.

description: An imbalance between top-down and bottom-up processing on perception (specifically, over-reliance on top-down processing) can lead to anomalous perception, such as illusions. One factor that may be involved in anomalous perception is visual mental imagery, which is the experience of “seeing” with the mind’s eye. There are vast individual differences in self-reported imagery vividness, and more vivid imagery is linked to a more sensory-like experience. We, therefore, hypothesized that susceptibility to anomalous perception is linked to individual imagery vividness. To investigate this, we adopted a paradigm that is known to elicit the perception of faces in pure visual noise (pareidolia). In four experiments, we explored how imagery vividness contributes to this experience under different response instructions and environments. We found strong evidence that people with more vivid imagery were more likely to see faces in the noise, although removing suggestive instructions weakened this relationship. Analyses from the first two experiments led us to explore confidence as another factor in pareidolia proneness. We, therefore, modulated environment noise and added a confidence rating in a novel design. We found strong evidence that pareidolia proneness is correlated with uncertainty about real percepts. Decreasing perceptual ambiguity abolished the relationship between pareidolia proneness and both imagery vividness and confidence. The results cannot be explained by incidental face-like patterns in the noise, individual variations in response bias, perceptual sensitivity, subjective perceptual thresholds, viewing distance, testing environments, motivation, gender, or prosopagnosia. This indicates a critical role of mental imagery vividness and perceptual uncertainty in anomalous perceptual experience.
