description: Is the present-day water-land ratio a necessary outcome of the evolution of plate tectonic planets with a similar age, volume, mass, and total water inventory as the Earth? This would be the case - largely independent of initial conditions - if Earth's present-day continental volume were at a stable unique equilibrium with strong self-regulating mechanisms of continental growth steering the evolution to this state. In this paper, we question this conjecture. Instead we suggest that positive feedbacks in the plate tectonics model of continental production and erosion may dominate and show that such a model can explain the history of continental growth. We investigate the main mechanisms that contribute to the growth of the volume of the continental crust. In particular, we analyze the effect of the oceanic plate speed, depending on the area and thickness of thermally insulating continents, on production and erosion mechanisms. Effects that cause larger continental production rates for larger values of continental volume are positive feedbacks. In contrast, negative feedbacks act to stabilize the continental volume. They are provided by the increase of the rate of surface erosion, subduction erosion, and crustal delamination with the continental volume. We systematically analyze the strengths of positive and negative feedback contributions to the growth of the continental crust. Although the strengths of some feedbacks depend on poorly known parameters, we conclude that a net predominance of positive feedbacks is plausible. We explore the effect of the combined feedback strength on the feasibility of modeling the observed small positive net continental growth rate over the past 2-3 billion years.

description: We analyse two inter-related features of regional housing markets: determinants of new housing supply, and the impact of supply responsiveness on price dynamics. We demonstrate that a suitably specified q-theory model (including residential land values as well as construction costs) explains intended housing starts. Few prior studies have found significant land price effects, due either to their omission or (possibly) to incorrect data definition (use of agricultural rather than residential land values). We examine the interaction of supply responsiveness and price adjustment following demand shocks, using a new panel dataset covering 53 quarters across 73 regions of New Zealand. Regions with high supply responsiveness have relatively small price spikes following demand shocks, consistent with a rational response that limits house price jumps in regions with strong supply responses.

description: The genus Tordylium L. (Apiaceae) is distributed in almost all the countries bordering the Mediterranean. They are plants widely used in ethnomedicine in various countries, especially in the Eastern part of Mediterranean, and, furthermore largely used as food. Consequently, in order to evaluate not only the chemical aspects but also the biological properties, the essential oil (EO), obtained from the Sicilian accession of Tordilym apulum L., not previously studied, were investigated. The chemical composition of the essential oil, obtained by classical hydrodistillation and GC-MS analysis, showed the occurrence of large amount of monoterpene hydrocarbons (68.8%) containing huge quantity of β-cis-ocimene (65.0%). The second most abundant metabolite was octyl hexanoate (14.4%), that can be considered a marker of genus Tordylium. ROS levels and the activity of antioxidant enzymes SOD and CAT on normal and OZ-stressed PMNs were measured in order to study the effects of EO of T. apulum.
"Our Worldly Work Supplies Us": "Vulgarizing" Heidegger Through Argentinean Literature
Creators: name: Selnes, Gisle
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2005

description: Against the background of Gayatri Spivaks concept of "worlding," this article stages four encounters between a major representative of Argen­tinean literature (Echeverria, Sarmiento, Borges, Cortdzar) and a specific figuration of the Other (Nomad, Oriental, Hyperborean, Monster). It is argued that the target texts, all belonging to the "mainstream" of the Argentinean tradition, achieve their literary effect in a surprisingly invari­able manner. Whereas the foundational fictions of Echeverria and Sar­miento seem to solicit a Spivakian reading, the works of Borges and Cortdzar are commonly situated well beyond worldly concerns, in a context of postmodern, fantastic, subversive textual practices. However, when they are considered against the background of a national literature grounded on the politics of "worlding," traditional ideological schemes shine through the more sophisticated textual surfaces of these modern masters. Finally, the question is raised whether Cortázar's liminal unmask­ing of his own life-long fascination with monstrous otherness could be seen as a successful displacement of the traditional paradigm, or whether it amounts to yet another example of ideological aestheticizations of the "Other."

description: GC/MS analysis of Murraya koenigii (L.) Spreng. and Murraya paniculata (L.) Jacq. leaves revealed the identification of 73 components, with an evident greater contribution of monoterpenes hydrocarbons to their total volatiles. α-Pinene (37.5%) and β-caryophyllene (27.4%) were the most abundant compounds in M. koenigii leaves and β-phellandrene (40.7%) in M. paniculata leaves, using headspace. β-Phellandrene (33.7%) was the major constituent by M. koenigii leaves where germacrene D (23.8%), and δ-elemene (22.0%) were predominant in M. paniculata leaves, using steam distillation. M. koenigii leaves oil showed quite remarkable cholinesterase inhibitory activity, where oil of M. paniculata leaves showed strong inhibitory activity against AChE (IC50=13.2 ± 0.9 µg/mL) and BChE (IC50=5.1 ± 0.3 µg/mL). Germacrene D, α-zingiberene, and δ-elemene showed higher affinity to BChE than AChE as revealed from docking scores (S = −5.65 to −6.03 Kcal/mol) for BChE and (S = −5.56 to −6.25 Kcal/mol) for AChE.

description: The work is aimed to evaluate the blood pressure reducing effect of constituents from methanol extract and associated constituents of Tagetes patula flowers in normotensive and L-NAME induced hypertensive rats. The HPLC analysis of methanol extract of Tagetes patula flowers (JFM) resulted in the quantitative identification and percent comparison of four phenolic constituents, protocatechuic acid (PA), methyl protocatechuate (MPA), patulitrin (TRIN) and patuletin (PAT). All the extracts, fractions and compounds examined showed significant blood pressure lowering activity. Patulitrin (TRIN) which has emerged as the major constituent (15.33%) of T. patula flowers showed significant 30% and 68% fall in blood pressure in normotensive and L-NAME induced hypertensive rats respectively. The patuletin (PAT), which is an aglycone of TRIN displayed high percentage (84%) of antihypertensive activity. Further, comprehensive and advanced studies on these constituents may result in preparation of an effective blood pressure lowering medicine with active precious rare flavonoids, patuletin and patulitrin.

description: The stochastic approach to inflation suffers from ambiguities due to the arbitrary choice of the time variable and due to the choice of the factor ordering in the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. Here it is shown that both ambiguities can be removed if we require that the factor ordering should be set in such a way that physical results are invariant with respect to time reparametrizations. This requirement uniquely selects the so-called Ito factor ordering. Additional ambiguities associated with non-trivial kinetic terms of the scalar fields are also discussed, as well as ways of constraining these ambiguities.

Falsification, Robberies, and Irreverence in the Periphery: The Case of Borges and Kyriakidis
Creators: name: Kefala, Eleni
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2005

description: This article examines the influence of Jorge Luis Borges syncretist aes­thetics on the work of the contemporary Greek writer, Achilleas Kyriakidis. Borgesian aesthetics emerged as a reaction to the political, ideological, and literary debates that prevailed in Argentina in the first half of the twentieth century. Since the 1980s, Kyriakidis has employed Borgesian syncretism in order to create, as in the case of Borges, a current in the history of Modern Greek literature, which is distinct from the overtly engaged fiction of direct political and social commitment. Kyriakidean writing in fact emerges as a highly effective response to the longstanding debates on national identity, bypassing the discourse of nationalism. In particular, both Borges and Kyriakidis place hybridization and creolization at the heart of literary and cultural production within and outside the borders of Argentina and Greece, underscoring at the same time the notions of falsification, robbery, and irreverence in the countries of the so-called periphery.

Globality is not Worldliness
Creators: name: Radhakrishnan, R.
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2005

description: This essay argues that worldliness and globality do not signify the same phenomenon. Whereas "worldliness" is an attempt to understand reality as simultaneously one and multilaterally produced, as objective and perspectival, globality is the fait accompli of processes of globalization that resolutely disavow their ideological intentionality. Focusing on the issue of Global Language and Global English, this essay seeks to implicate the regime of Global English in the genealogy of its dominance, and suggests that unless problems of "language" and "translatability" are raised as profound issues in a world that is structured in dominance, the concept of Global Literature will remain captive to the demands of the so-called dominant world languages. Global experiences are multiform, heterogeneous, heteroglossic, and polyvalent in ways that are just not accessible to the blueprint of global literature as envisioned by the transnational cosmopolitan imagination. Arguing vigorously against the Salman Rushdie claim that the best literature written in India since inde­pendence has been in English, this essay articulates the prescription that unless the dominant non-vernacular" languages learn to translate them­selves to themselves, Global Literature will remain mired in the provin­cialism of dominance.

Inequalities relating area, energy, surface gravity and charge of black holes
Creators: name: Hayward, Sean A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Penrose-Gibbons inequality for charged black holes is proved in spherical symmetry, assuming that outside the black hole there are no current sources, meaning that the charge e is constant, with the remaining fields satisfying the dominant energy condition. Specifically, for any achronal hypersurface which is asymptotically flat at spatial or null infinity and has an outermost marginal surface of areal radius r, the asymptotic mass m satisfies 2m >= r + e^2/r. Replacing m by a local energy, the inequality holds locally outside the black hole. A recent definition of dynamic surface gravity k also satisfies inequalities 2k <= 1/r - e^2/r^3 and m >= r^2 k + e^2/r. All these inequalities are sharp in the sense that equality is attained for the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole.

description: Ruellia angustiflora is a shrub popularly known as flower of fire, used in traditional medicine as a healing agent. This study aims to verify the presence of characteristics of pharmaceutical interest in extracts from the root, stem and leaves of this species. The ideal time for ultrasound-assisted extraction is 60 min with a solid-liquid ratio of 1% (w/v). The kinetics of the reaction of the extracts with DPPH is biphasic, and IC50 values are related to the total phenolic compounds. Five phenolic compounds were identified in the extracts, where ferulic acid, rutin and quercetin showed to be the main responsible for the antiradical activity. The extracts displayed considerable photoprotective activity, mainly Ra-LE (SPF = 23). Ra-RE showed an inhibition halo similar to erythromycin against Streptococcus pyogenes. Taken together, these data reveal that Ruellia angustiflora is a source of phenolic compounds and has relevant antiradical, photoprotective and antibacterial activities.
Phase Transitions in the Two-Dimensional XY Model with Random Phases: a Monte Carlo Study

description: We study the two-dimensional XY model with quenched random phases by Monte Carlo simulation and finite-size scaling analysis. We determine the phase diagram of the model and study its critical behavior as a function of disorder and temperature. If the strength of the randomness is less than a critical value, $σ_{c}$, the system has a Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) phase transition from the paramagnetic phase to a state with quasi-long-range order. Our data suggest that the latter exists down to T=0 in contradiction with theories that predict the appearance of a low-temperature reentrant phase. At the critical disorder $T_{KT}\rightarrow 0$ and for $σ> σ_{c}$ there is no quasi-ordered phase. At zero temperature there is a phase transition between two different glassy states at $σ_{c}$. The functional dependence of the correlation length on $σ$ suggests that this transition corresponds to the disorder-driven unbinding of vortex pairs.

description: In crystalline systems, charge polarization is related to Zak's phase determined by bulk band topology. Nontrivial charge polarization induces robust edge states accompanied with fractional charge. In Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, it is known that the strong modulation of electron hopping causes nontrivial charge polarization even in the presence of inversion symmetry. Here, we consider a bi-atomic honeycomb lattice to introduce such strong modulation, i.e. A$_3$B sheet. By tuning hopping ratio and onsite potential difference between A and B atoms, we show that topological phase transition characterized by Zak's phase occurs. Furthermore, we propose that C$_3$N and BC$_3$ are the possible realistic materials on the basis of first-principles calculations. Both of them display topological edge states induced by Zak's phase without spin-orbital couplings and external fields unlike conventional topological insulators.

description: Despite the prevalence of sleep-tracking devices, many individuals struggle to translate data into actionable improvements in sleep health. Current methods often provide data-driven suggestions but may not be feasible and adaptive to real-life constraints and individual contexts. We present HealthGuru, a novel large language model-powered chatbot to enhance sleep health through data-driven, theory-guided, and adaptive recommendations with conversational behavior change support. HealthGuru's multi-agent framework integrates wearable device data, contextual information, and a contextual multi-armed bandit model to suggest tailored sleep-enhancing activities. The system facilitates natural conversations while incorporating data-driven insights and theoretical behavior change techniques. Our eight-week in-the-wild deployment study with 16 participants compared HealthGuru to a baseline chatbot. Results show improved metrics like sleep duration and activity scores, higher quality responses, and increased user motivation for behavior change with HealthGuru. We also identify challenges and design considerations for personalization and user engagement in health chatbots.

description: We study the gravitational collapse of a self-gravitating charged scalar-field. Starting with a regular spacetime, we follow the evolution through the formation of an apparent horizon, a Cauchy horizon and a final central singularity. We find a null, weak, mass-inflation singularity along the Cauchy horizon, which is a precursor of a strong, spacelike singularity along the $r=0$ hypersurface. The inner black hole region is bounded (in the future) by singularities. This resembles the classical inner structure of a Schwarzschild black hole and it is remarkably different from the inner structure of a charged static Reissner-Nordström or a stationary rotating Kerr black holes.

description: We present the X-ray spectral and timing analysis of the transient black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47, observed with the AstroSat, Chandra and MAXI space missions during its soft X-ray outburst in 2016. The outburst, from the rising phase until the peak, is neither detected in hard X-rays (15-50 keV) by the Swift/BAT nor in radio. Such non-detection along with the source behavior in the hardness-intensity and color-color diagrams obtained using MAXI data confirm that both Chandra and AstroSat observations were performed during the high soft spectral state. The High Energy Grating (HEG) spectrum from the Chandra high-energy transmission grating spectrometer (HETGS) shows two strong, moderately blueshifted absorption lines at 6.705$_{-0.002}^{+0.002}$ keV and 6.974$_{-0.003}^{+0.004}$ keV, which are produced by Fe XXV and Fe XXVI in a low-velocity ionized disk wind. The corresponding outflow velocity is determined to be 366$\pm$56 km/s. Separate spectral fits of Chandra/HEG, AstroSat/SXT+LAXPC and Chandra/HEG + AstroSat/SXT+LAXPC data show that the broadband continuum can be well described with a relativistic disk-blackbody model, with the disk flux fraction of $\sim 0.97$. Based on the best-fit continuum spectral modeling of Chandra, AstroSat and Chandra+AstroSat joint spectra and using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations, we constrain the spectral hardening factor at 1.56$^{+0.14}_{-0.06}$ and the dimensionless black hole spin parameter at 0.92 $\pm$ 0.04 within the 99.7% confidence interval. Our conclusion of a rapidly-spinning black hole in 4U 1630-47 using the continuum spectrum method is in agreement with a previous finding applying the reflection spectral fitting method.

description: The growing use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for various applications requires ubiquitous and reliable connectivity for safe control and data exchange between these devices and ground terminals. Depending on the application, UAV-mounted wireless equipment can either be an aerial user equipment (AUE) that co-exists with the terrestrial users, or it can be a part of wireless infrastructure providing a range of services to the ground users. For instance, AUE can be used for real-time search and rescue and Aerial Base Station (ABS) can enhance coverage, capacity and energy efficiency of wireless networks. In both cases, UAV-based solutions are scalable, mobile, fast to deploy. However, several technical challenges have to be addressed. In this work, we present a tutorial on wireless communication with UAVs, taking into account a wide range of potential applications. The main goal of this work is to provide a complete overview of the main scenarios (AUE and ABS), channel and performance models, compare them, and discuss open research points. This work gives a comprehensive overview of the research done until now and depicts a comprehensive picture to foster new ideas and solutions while avoiding duplication of past work. We start by discussing the open challenges of wireless communication with UAVs. To give answers to the posed questions, we focus on the UAV communication basics, mainly providing the necessary channel modeling background and giving guidelines on how various channel models should be used. Next, theoretical, simulation- and measurement-based approaches, to address the key challenges for AUE usage, are presented. Moreover, in this work, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview on how UAV-mounted equipment can be used as a part of a communication network. Based on the theoretical analysis, we show how various network parameters can be optimized.

description: Recent experimental observations of Weyl fermions in materials opens a new frontier of condensed matter physics. Based on first-principles calculations, we here discover Weyl fermions in a two-dimensional layered electride material Y$_2$C. We find that the Y 4$d$ orbitals and the anionic $s$-like orbital confined in the interstitial spaces between [Y$_2$C]$^{2+}$ cationic layers are hybridized to give rise to van Have singularities near the Fermi energy $E_{\rm F}$, which induce a ferromagnetic (FM) order via the Stoner-type instability. This FM phase with broken time-reversal symmetry hosts the rotation-symmetry protected Weyl nodal lines near $E_{\rm F}$, which are converted into the multiple pairs of Weyl nodes by including spin-orbit coupling (SOC). However, we reveal that, due to its small SOC effects, Y$_2$C has a topologically nontrivial drumhead-like surface state near $E_{\rm F}$ as well as a very small magnetic anisotropy energy with several $μ$eV per unit cell, consistent with the observed surface state and paramagnetism at low temperatures below ${\sim}$2 K. Our findings propose that the Brillouin zone coordinates of Weyl fermions hidden in paramagnetic electride materials would fluctuate in momentum space with random orientations of the magnetization direction.

description: We present a microscopic analysis of shot-noise suppression due to long-range Coulomb interaction in semiconductor devices under ballistic transport conditions. An ensemble Monte Carlo simulator self-consistently coupled with a Poisson solver is used for the calculations. A wide range of injection-rate densities leading to different degrees of suppression is investigated. A sharp tendency of noise suppression at increasing injection densities is found to scale with a dimensionless Debye length related to the importance of space-charge effects in the structure.

description: Chandra observations of the core of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 reveal a heavily absorbed source of hard X-rays embedded within the nuclear starburst region. The source has an unabsorbed, 2 to 10 keV luminosity of >=10^39 erg/s and photoionizes the surrounding gas. We observe this source through a dusty torus with a neutral absorbing column density of NH ~ 2x10^23 cm^-2. The torus is hundreds of pc across and collimates the starburst-driven nuclear outflow. We suggest that the ionizing source is an intermediate-mass black hole or a weakly accreting supermassive black hole, which may signal the beginnings or endings of AGN activity.

description: In this research work, a new approach is developed for the extractive determination of chromium. The principle of this approach is based on the complexation reaction between 4-(4ʹ-chlorobenzylideneimino)-3-methyl-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (CBIMMT) in dichloromethane as a complexing reagent and chromium(III) in presence of potassium iodide to form a yellow coloured complex at room temperature. The 1:2:2 [Cr(III)-CBIMMT-iodide] ternary complex was quantitatively extracted in dichloromethane from 2.5 mol L−1 of hydrochloric acid medium which showed maximum absorption intensity at λmax 411 nm and was stable for more than 72 h. The values of molar absorption coefficient and Sandell’s sensitivity of the complex were found to be 0.7019 × 104 L mol−1 cm−1 and 0.00748 µg cm−2, respectively. The system adheres to Beer’s law from 1.5 to 6.0 µg mL−1; however, Ringbom’s plot suggests optimal concentration range was 1.8–5.8 µg mL−1. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of the approach is 0.26 and 0.79 µg mL−1. This approach was successfully used for the determination of chromium from wastewater effluents from the tannery industries (Kolhapur, MS, India), alloy samples and for separation of it from synthetic mixtures. The present experimental approach is apparently much simpler than the conventional method comprising multistep processes.

description: The Schwarzschild-deSitter metric is the known solution of Einstein field equations with cosmological constant term for vacuum spherically symmetric space around a point mass M. Recently it has been reported that in a $Lamda$-dominant world the Schwarzschild type coordinate systems are disqualified by redshift-magnitude test as a proper frame of reference(gr-qc/9812092). We derive the solution in a FRW type coordinate system which is qualified according to the mentioned test. Asymptotically it approachs to the non-static form of deSitter metric. The obtained metric is transformable to Schwarzschild-deSitter metric. It is an analytic function of $r$ for all values except $r=0$which is singular. This is carried out with no making use of Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates and without entering any cross term in the metric.

description: We investigate the cosmological applications of fluids having an equation of state which is the analog to the one related to the isotropic deformation of crystalline solids, that is containing logarithmic terms of the energy density, allowing additionally for a bulk viscosity. We consider two classes of scenarios and we show that they are both capable of triggering the transition from deceleration to acceleration at late times. Furthermore, we confront the scenarios with data from Supernovae type Ia (SN Ia) and Hubble function observations, showing that the agreement is excellent. Moreover, we perform a dynamical system analysis and we show that there exist asymptotic accelerating attractors, arisen from the logarithmic terms as well as from the viscosity, which in most cases correspond to a phantom late-time evolution. Finally, for some parameter regions we obtain a nearly de Sitter late-time attractor, which is a significant capability of the scenario since the dark energy, although dynamical, stabilizes at the cosmological constant value.
