description: Within the framework of the heavy quark effective theory, QCD sum rules are used to calculate the masses of p-wave (c-bar s) states. The results for 0^+ and 1^+ states with the angular momentum of the light component j_l=1/2 are consistent with the experimental values for D_s(2317) and D_s(2457), respectively.

description: Increased competition for viewers’ time is threatening the viability of publicservice broadcasters (PSBs) around the world. Changing regulations regarding advertising minutes might increase revenues, but little is known about the structure of advertising demand. To address this problem, we collect a unique dataset on monthly impacts (quantities) and prices of UK television channels between 2002 and 2009 to estimate the (inverse) demand for advertising on both public and commercial broadcasters. We find that increasing PSB advertising minutes to the level permitted for non-PSBs would increase PSB and industry revenue by 10.5% and 6.7%.

description: This book emerged from a multinational research project originally called “New Actors and Innovative Approaches to Peacebuilding.” With the support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Relations, six research institutions embarked in 2014 on a two-year effort to investigate the role of the rising powers in the Global South in aiding and supporting other countries to attain and sustain peace. The institutions were the African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD) in Durban; the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Jakarta; the Istanbul Policy Center (IPC) in Istanbul; the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) in Oslo; the School of International Service of American University in Washington DC; and the United Service Institution of India (USI) in New Delhi. We explicitly sought to create an opportunity for critical thinkers from rising powers and more traditional thought-centers to shed light on their own government’s practices and approaches, and to bring those ideas into international fora. The project sought to answer one central question: What exactly is new and innovative about the peacebuilding approach of the new actors from the Global South, and what results are they having? Building on this question, we sought to achieve three more specific objectives: 1. To provide a structured analysis of the values, content, and impact of recent peacebuilding initiatives of rising powers, comparing them to one another and to approaches by Western donors and international organizations. 2. To offer new theoretical claims about the role of the rising powers in peacebuilding, rooted in empirical work. 3. To make key policy audiences aware of alternative approaches and their empirical records and theoretical underpinnings. The latter objective reflects the policy goals of the project, whereby the partners sought to educate one another in their own concept and activities, and then to stimulate exchanges of ideas about these approaches with more traditional centers of thought regarding peacebuilding. Ultimately, the project sought to influence the exchange of ideas among rising powers in the Global South and between Northern and Southern centers of policy. We held insightful (and fun) seminars in Jakarta, Istanbul, Addis Ababa (in conjunction with the African Union), New York, Washington DC, Brussels, and The Hague to advance these policy aims. This book reflects the outcome of the former two project objectives. It captures the inputs of the project partners and a few additional intellects, offering in-depth, comparative studies of the rising powers, with case examples, aimed at also contributing to mid-level theoretical generalizations about these phenomena. We hope you enjoy the results.

description: Background African American and Hispanic women are disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its many risk factors. Obstetrician–gynecologists (OB/GYNs) play an integral role in well-woman care and have a unique opportunity to provide CVD counseling and screening to these at-risk and underserved groups. Objective To assess whether OB/GYN race/ethnicity and OB/GYN practices with increasing minority patient populations predicted differences in OB/GYNs’ knowledge, attitudes, and practice patterns relevant to racial/ethnic disparities in CVD. This study also sought to determine provider and patient related barriers to CVD care. Method A questionnaire on CVD was mailed to 273 members of The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in March–July 2013. Results African American and Hispanic OB/GYNs and OB/GYN practices with increasing minority patient populations were more knowledgeable of CVD disparities. These OB/GYNs reported greater concern for minority women’s CVD risk relative to White OB/GYNs. Overall, OB/GYNs appear less knowledgeable and concerned with Hispanics’ increased CVD risk relative to African Americans’. The most commonly reported provider and patient-related barriers to CVD care were time constraints, patient nonadherence to treatment recommendations, and inadequate training. Conclusion It is likely that minority OB/GYNs and those with practices with increasing minority patient populations have greater exposure to women at risk for CVD. Dissemination of educational information regarding Hispanic women’s CVD risk profile may improve OB/GYN knowledge, counseling, and screening. Increased training in CVD and multicultural competency during medical school and residency should help OB/GYNs overcome what they report as primary barriers to CVD care.

description: The present study is a prelude to applying different flow control devices on pitching and plunging airfoils with the intention of controlling the growth of the leading edge vortex (LEV); hence, the lift under unsteady stall conditions. As a pre-requisite, the parameters influencing the development of the LEV topology must be fully understood, and this constitutes the main motivation of the present experimental investigation. The aims of this study are twofold. First, an approach is introduced to validate the comparability between flow fields and LEV characteristics of two different facilities using water and air as working media by making use of a common baseline case. The motivation behind this comparison is that with two facilities the overall parameter range can be greatly expanded. This comparison includes an overview of the respective parameter ranges, control of the airfoil kinematics and careful scrutiny of how post-processing procedures of velocity data from time-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV) influence the integral properties and topological features used to characterise the LEV development. Second, and based on results coming from both facilities, the appearance of secondary structures and their effect on LEV detachment over an extended parameter range is studied. A Lagrangian flow field analysis, based on finite-time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE) ridges, allows precise identification of secondary structures and reveals that their emergence is closely correlated to a vortex Reynolds number threshold computed from the LEV circulation. This threshold is used to model the temporal onset of secondary structures. Further analysis indicates that the emergence of secondary structures causes the LEV to stop accumulating circulation if the shear layer angle at the leading edge of the flat plate has ceased to increase.
Developmental exposure to heavy metals alters visually-guided behaviors in zebrafish

Year: 2023

description: This laboratory-based study determined the consequences of heavy metal exposure using zebrafish Danio rerio. Embryos were transiently exposed to environmentally-relevant concentrations of cadmium or nickel until 72 h postfertilization (hpf), then they were returned to system water and allowed to grow until 7, 9, and 11 days postfertilization (dpf), when they were examined morphologically and behaviorally. Morphological measures of notochord length, eye diameter, and intereye distance were not different across treatments; however, significant differences in optomotor responses were observed in treated larvae at all ages tested. These results suggest that initial developmental exposure to cadmium and nickel significantly impacts visually-guided larval behavior. The absence of significant differences in gross morphology suggests that the effects of these metals are subtle and may occur at the cellular level. By using this ecologically relevant model and pollutant type, this study has broad application and implications with regard to safe levels of contaminant in drinking water and freshwater ecosystems.

Unity of CP and T Violation in Neutrino Oscillations

description: In a previous work a simultaneous P- CP[P] and P- T[P] bi-probability plot was proposed as a useful tool for unified graphical description of CP and T violation in neutrino oscillation. The ``baseball diamond'' structure of the plot is understood as a consequence of the approximate CP-CP and the T-CP relations obeyed by the oscillation probabilities. In this paper, we make a step forward toward deeper understanding of the unified graphical representation by showing that these two relations are identical in its content, suggesting a truly unifying view of CP and T violation in neutrino oscillations. We suspect that the unity reflects the underlying CPT theorem. We also present calculation of corrections to the CP-CP and the T-CP relations to leading order in Delta m^2_{21} / Delta m^2_{31} and s^2_{13}.

description: Southern Africa has one of the highest densities of temporary pools and some of the most understudied temporary wetlands in the world. Additionally, the eastern African annual killifishes (Nothobranchius spp.) are rare in southern Africa and found exclusively in temporary habitats. There is a notable lack of literature regarding the diet of these fish, as well as the foodweb structures of temporary ecosystems. The current study aimed to address this paucity in literature by assessing the foodweb of a temporary pool located in the Ndumo Game Reserve (NGR) in northern Kwa-Zulu Natal using stable isotopes analysis. In addition, Bayesian mixing models were used to assess the diet of the spotted killifish Nothobranchius orthonotus over two seasons (dry and wet seasons). The foodweb consisted of only three trophic levels and comprised different foodweb items between the two seasons. Stable isotope analysis indicated significant increases in δ15N from the dry to wet season. It further revealed the diet of N. orthonotus to be more varied and omnivorous with primary producers contributing a much greater percentage toward their diet than previous studies have reported. This study contributes valuable information to the paucity of knowledge regarding foodweb structure and food-chain length of temporary pools in South Africa, as well as new insights into the extended diet of N. orthonotus. The analytical techniques used in this study could also be utilised as part of future research in ecological assessments of temporary pools and other aquatic ecosystems in Africa and globally.

description: The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been one of the leading research fields of wireless networks, particularly in recent year. Sensors are randomly positioned in the region, every node senses the surroundings and sends the data collected to the cluster head (CH), which aggregates and transmits obtained information to the Base Station (BS). A non-rechargeable battery is included on each WSN node. The sensor energy and network life extension of WSN are the most important considerations in the academia and industry. And thus, many routing protocols have been proposed to solve this issue, one of these is LEACH, the early protocol that introduced the clustering idea to extend the life of the WSN. LEACH is affected by the number of heads of the Clusters as it is randomly selected, and this has an impact on network lifetime, furthermore, the nodes are randomly joined in each cluster, this means that some of the cluster heads work more than others with fewer cluster nodes. In this paper, it is proposed an algorithm Maximum Optimal Number of Cluster Heads (MONCH) to identify the optimum cluster heads in WSN and to find which is the nearest one to BS and helps to integrate nodes with the most appropriate cluster. The results show improved energy consumption performance for the LEACH algorithm.

description: Objectives: The objective of the study was to examine and compare the HIV testing attitudes, perceptions and behaviours between African-American and East African immigrant women in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Methods: Adopting an inductive, qualitative methodological approach, we conducted a total of 40 in-depth, semistructured interviews between October 2012 and March 2013. Qualitative thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Results: Overall, African-American women held more favourable views towards HIV testing than East African immigrant women. Very few East African immigrant women sought HIV testing intentionally. The majority of East African participants were tested inadvertently, while others tested for immigration-related or employmentrelated purposes. There were many barriers that impede women from seeking an HIV test including negative assumptions (eg, Getting an HIV test implies that I am HIV positive), negative emotions (eg, Fear of being diagnosed with HIV and what this will mean for me) and potential negative reactions from partner or others (eg, Getting an HIV test can signal distrust, disrespect, or infidelity). There were nuances in how each group articulated some of these barriers and East African women expressed unique concerns that originated from experiences in their home countries. Conclusions: The study shed light into the complexity of factors that constrain women from presenting themselves voluntarily for an HIV test and highlighted the nuances between African-American and East African perceptions. Implications of findings for effective targeted HIV screening promotion and communication strategies among these groups of women are discussed.

description: We discuss relevant aspects of the exact q-thermostatistical treatment for an ideal Fermi system. The grand canonical exact generalized partition function is given for arbitrary values of the nonextensivity index q, and the ensuing statistics is derived. Special attention is paid to the mean occupation numbers of single-particle levels. Limiting instances of interest are discussed in some detail, namely, the thermodynamic limit, considering in particular both the high- and low-temperature regimes, and the approximate results pertaining to the case q \sim 1 (the conventional Fermi-Dirac statistics corresponds to q=1). We compare our findings with previous Tsallis' literature.

Production mechanisms of open-heavy flavor mesons

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we discuss different mechanisms of open-heavy flavor meson production. Using the color dipole framework, we analyze in detail the contributions of the conventional two-pomeron fusion and the three-pomeron fusion correction. In a parameter-free way we found that the three-pomeron mechanism is significant for $D$-meson production in the small-$p_{T}$ kinematics, although it is less important at large $p_{T}$, as well as for $B$-mesons. The inclusion of the three-pomeron mechanism significantly improves the agreement of theoretical predictions with experimental data in the small-$p_{T}$ kinematics. We also consider the non-prompt charmonia production, and demonstrate that the theoretical results are in reasonable agreement with experimental data. Finally, we compare the theoretical predictions for the dependence on multiplicity of co-produced hadrons to experimental data recently measured by the ALICE collaboration. We found that, contrary to naive expectations, the contribution of the three-pomeron mechanism has only a mild effect on the self-normalized observables in the range of multiplicities studied at ALICE, and for this reason the two-pomeron fusion mechanism can describe reasonably well the experimentally observed multiplicity dependence.

description: The article addresses the issue of state responsibility for the welfare of children in Britain in the Victorian and the Edwardian periods. Taking into consideration the number of Acts of Parliament attempting to improve child welfare in the years 1870-1908, it seems that it was particularly in this period that the state assumed a considerably greater degree of responsibility for the well-being of its youngest citizens than ever before. Another conclusion of the article seems to be a realization that it is very difficult to compare the standards of child welfare at present and in the nineteenth century, for even the very concept of childhood seems to be in a sense untranslatable. While today we generally regard the end of childhood to coincide with and the beginning of adulthood, both of which happen at the age of eighteen, in nineteenth century and early twentieth century Britain this age might have been as little as nine or ten, if the ability to work was concerned, ten or twelve, if we regarded the school leaving age or as high as twenty-one or even thirty if the voting rights are concerned.

description: Background and study aims: In recent years, cold snare polypectomy (CSP) has been recommended as the preferred approach for removal of small and diminutive colorectal polyps. We conducted an international survey among endoscopists to understand the uptake of CSP and changes in polypectomy practice during recent years. Patients and methods: Endoscopists were invited through gastroenterology, colorectal surgery and endoscopy societies to participate in an online survey. The primary outcome was to identify the predominant polypectomy approach used to remove 4‒10 mm colorectal polyps. Secondary outcomes included the uptake of CSP in the past 5 years, current polypectomy practice patterns for 1‒20 mm polyps, practice changes in recent years, and perceived benefits/concerns related to different polypectomy techniques. Results: The survey was distributed internationally by nine societies and completed by 808 endoscopists (response rate 3.7%). CSP was the predominant polypectomy technique for 4‒5 mm polyps (67.0%, 95% CI, 63.7–70.2%) and 6‒10 mm polyps (55.2%, 95% CI, 51.8–58.6%). For 1‒3 mm polyps, cold forceps remained the predominant technique (78.4%, 95% CI, 75.6–81.3%), whereas hot snare polypectomy (HSP) remained the predominant technique for 10‒20 mm polyps (92.5%, 95% CI, 90.7–94.3%). 87.5% (95% CI, 85.2–89.8%) of endoscopists reported an increase in CSP use during the past 5 years. Conclusions: This survey found a substantial increase in CSP use during recent years. CSP has become the predominant polypectomy approach for 4‒10 mm colorectal polyps, while HSP remained the predominant approach for larger (10‒20 mm) polyps. Clinical practice patterns are well aligned with recently issued guideline recommendations.

description: The spin dynamics of bilayer cuprate compounds are studied in a basic model. The magnetic spectral properties are calculated in linear spin-wave theory for several stripe configurations which differ by the relative location of the stripes in the layers. We focus on the bilayer splitting of the magnon bands near the incommensurate low energy peaks as well as near the $π$ resonance, distinguishing between the odd and even channel. We find that a x-shaped dispersion near the $π$ resonance is generic for stripes. By comparison of our results to neutron scattering data for $\mathrm{YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x}}$ we conclude that the stripe model is consistent with characteristic features of bilayer high-$T_c$ compounds.

Simplified Vehicle-Bridge Interaction for Medium to Long-span Bridges Subject to Random Traffic Load

description: This study introduces a simplified model for bridge-vehicle interaction for medium- to long-span bridges subject to random traffic loads. Previous studies have focused on calculating the exact response of the vehicle or the bridge based on an interaction force derived from the compatibility between two systems. This process requires multiple iterations per time step per vehicle until the compatibility is reached. When a network of vehicles is considered, the compatibility equation turns to a system of coupled equations which dramatically increases the complexity of the convergence process. In this study, we simplify the problem into two sub-problems that are decoupled: (a) a bridge subject to random Gaussian excitation, and (b) individual sensing agents that are subject to a linear superposition of the bridge response and the road profile roughness. The study provides sufficient evidence to confirm the simulation approach is valid with a minimal error when the bridge span is medium to long, and the spatio-temporal load pattern can be modeled as random Gaussian. Quantitatively, the proposed approach is over 1,000 times more computationally efficient when compared to the conventional approach for a 500 m long bridge, with response prediction errors below $0.1\%$.

description: The aim of this article is to look at the media culture created by the local media against a background of the global media culture in an educational context. An attempt was also made to answer the following questions: - what the media culture is? - what elements and factors do influence the formation and the specific character of functioning of the local media culture? - what is the significance of the local media in the educational process of the community of their recipients? - what is uniting and dividing the local media culture from the culture created by the global media? - what are the educational values of the local media in the time of globalization?

description: Building on John Ruggie’s pioneering study of multilateralism, this paper presents an analogous study of multistakeholder governance, or multistakeholderism. Its central argument is that multistakeholderism is, as yet, a much less well-defined institutional form. Cases exhibit significant variation both in the combinations of actor classes entitled to participate and the nature of authority relations among those actors. The first section discusses multistakeholderism as an institutional form, and proposes a taxonomy of its types. This section also briefly addresses the implications of the analysis for International Relations theory. The paper then conducts a comparative analysis of multistakeholderism, applying the taxonomy to five illustrative cases. It demonstrates the degree of inter-case variation, and the range of issue-areas across which the institutional form is employed and invoked by actors. Three cases are drawn from the increasingly contentious area of Internet governance; the paper thus makes a secondary contribution to this growing literature. The paper’s most striking finding in this regard is that Internet governance often fails to live up to its multistakeholder rhetoric.Other cases include governance of securities regulation and the governance of corporate social responsibility. The paper concludes by examining the implications of our argument, and identifying areas for further research.

description: Diamond has emerged as a highly promising platform for quantum network applications. Color centers in diamond fulfill the fundamental requirements for quantum nodes: they constitute optically accessible quantum systems with long‐lived spin qubits. Furthermore, they provide access to a quantum register of electronic and nuclear spin qubits and they mediate entanglement between spins and photons. All these operations require coherent control of the color center's spin state. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the state‐of‐the‐art, challenges, and prospects of such schemes, including high‐fidelity initialization, coherent manipulation, and readout of spin states. Established microwave and optical control techniques are reviewed, and moreover, emerging methods such as cavity‐mediated spin–photon interactions and mechanical control based on spin–phonon interactions are summarized. For different types of color centers, namely, nitrogen–vacancy and group‐IV color centers, distinct challenges persist that are subject of ongoing research. Beyond fundamental coherent spin qubit control techniques, advanced demonstrations in quantum network applications are outlined, for example, the integration of individual color centers for accessing (nuclear) multiqubit registers. Finally, the role of diamond spin qubits in the realization of future quantum information applications is described.

description: Spin-reorientation phase transitions that involve the rotation of a crystal$'$s magnetization have been well characterized in distorted-perovskite oxides such as the orthoferrites. In these systems spin reorientation occurs due to competing rare-earth and transition metal anisotropies coupled via $f$-$d$ exchange. Here, we demonstrate an alternative paradigm for spin reorientation in distorted perovskites. We show that the $R_2\mathrm{CuMnMn_4O_{12}}$ (R = Y or Dy) triple A-site columnar-ordered quadruple perovskites have three ordered magnetic phases and up to two spin-reorientation phase transitions. Unlike the spin-reorientation phenomena in other distorted perovskites, these transitions are independent of rare-earth magnetism, but are instead driven by an instability towards antiferromagnetic spin canting likely originating in frustrated Heisenberg exchange interactions, and the competition between Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya and single-ion anisotropies.

description: This work was carried out with using the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory and presents the observational study of HDS and D2S towards a sample of Class 0 sources, and dense cores. We report the first detection of doubly deuterated hydrogen sulfide (D2S) in two dense cores and analyze the chemistry of these molecules aiming to help understand the deuteration processes in the interstellar medium. The observed values of the D2S/HDS ratio, and upper limits, require an atomic D/H ratio in the accreting gas of 0.1-1. The study presented in this Letter supports the hypothesis that formaldehyde, methanol and hydrogen sulfide are formed on the grain surfaces, during the cold pre-stellar core phase, where the CO depleted gas has large atomic D/H ratios. The high values for the D/H ratios are consistent with the predictions of a recent gas-phase chemical model that includes H3+ and its deuterated isotopomers, H2D+, D2H+ and D3+ (Roberts et al. 2003).

description: Stanisław Głąbiński – lawyer and economist belonged to the cream of the political elite of the second Polish Republic. He was the co-founder and leading politician of the National Democratic party, a Professor from the University of Lvov, a member of the Academy of Learning (later the PAU) and the deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Education and Religious Faiths in the second government of Wincenty Witos. He was born on the 25th February 1862 in Eastern Galicia and attended junior high school in Sambor. In 1880 he passed the high school final exams and studied at the Law Department of the University of Lvov. He finished his doctorate in 1887. In 1892 Stanisław Głąbiński became an associate professor and three years later obtained a full professorship at the age of only 33. During 1889- 1890 he was the Dean of the Law Department and then became the rector of the University of Lvov in 1908-1909. At this time he started his involvement in politics with the National Democrat party. He became editor in chief of the ‘National Newspaper’. He took part in founding many institutes of Higher Public Utility in Galicia. He was the co-founder of the National Peoples’ Union and for many years the president of its supreme council (1919-1928) as well as being the club president of the party in parliament and the diet (1919-1927). He played a major role in creating the programme and policies of this political grouping and then for the National Party 1928-1935 where he was the political club leader in the senate. He was a significant influence in formulating and developing the political thought of the nation, the constitution and parliament of the second Polish Republic. His lesser role were in the organisation of Polish schooling during his brief time as Minister of Education.
