description: Objective: To examine the evolution of dementia in HIV-positive injecting drug users (IDU) in Edinburgh. Design: Case-control study. Participants: Twenty six (6%) out of 404 patients in the Edinburgh cohort of HIV-positive IDU who have developed HIV-1-associated dementia in the 10 years since infection and seroconversion. Methods: Patients were tested repeatedly, where possible, on a range of neuropsychological and neurophysiological measures. The results from patients with dementia were compared with those of age, sex and IQ-matched non-demented HIV-positive controls from the cohort. An auditory event-related potential (P3 or P300), a neurophysiological measure of cognitive function, detected the onset of a marked slowing of cognitive and psychomotor functions. Neuropsychological measures that involve the speed of information processing such as the Trail-Making task also identified the early stages of dementia. Results: Dementia was associated with a more advanced stage of systemic disease, increased rates of decline in CD4 cell counts and markedly reduced survival compared with the non-demented controls. No evidence for a protective effect of treatment with zidovudine was detected. Conclusion: In the first 10 years after infection with HIV-1 dementia is an individual development, not the clinical extreme of general intellectual impairment, and had occurred in at least 6% of our IDU cohort. Future questions concern the long-term rate of dementia, the critical neuropathological change and the true potential for early treatment.
Bottom-up construction of dynamic density functional theories for inhomogeneous polymer systems from microscopic simulations

description: We propose and compare different strategies to construct dynamic density functional theories (DDFTs) for inhomogeneous polymer systems close to equilibrium from microscopic simulation trajectories. We focus on the systematic construction of the mobility coefficient, $Λ(r,r')$, which relates the thermodynamic driving force on monomers at position $r'$ to the motion of monomers at position $r$. A first approach based on the Green-Kubo formalism turns out to be impractical because of a severe plateau problem. Instead, we propose to extract the mobility coefficient from an effective characteristic relaxation time of the single chain dynamic structure factor. To test our approach, we study the kinetics of ordering and disordering in diblock copolymer melts. The DDFT results are in very good agreement with the data from corresponding fine-grained simulations.

Cell cycle related effects on the radiation survival responses of human tumor cells
Creators: name: Hill, Andrew Arthur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Cell cycle-related phenomena have profound effects on the ability of cells to survive exposure to ionizing radiation. These phenomena are important because they shed light on the underlying mechanisms of the cell cycle, and because they provide avenues to improve the efficacy of clinical radiotherapy. Radiobiologists have developed a partial picture of how and why radio sensitivity varies during the cell cycle. Nevertheless, our understanding of the role of cell cycle effects on the radio sensitivity of human cells is still far from complete. In this thesis, cell populations which were synchronized at specific points in the mitotic cycle were used to explore cell cycle-related effects on the radiosensitivity of human tumor cells in vitro. The survival of synchronized cells after irradiation was measured at low doses which are relevant to radiation therapy, using the cell-sorter assay, which utilizes a cell-counting flow cytometer to reduce the uncertainties associated with traditional survival assays. The radiosensitivity of three human tumor cell lines varied significantly over the course of the cell cycle, in a manner which was in general agreement with earlier studies by others who examined the responses of rodent, and some human, cell types, using similar synchronization techniques. However, discrepancies were found with other studies which used alternative synchronization methods. The widely-used linear quadratic model of cell survival was tested in synchronized cell populations. Consistent, significant deviations from the model were found. A mathematical model of synchronized cell radio sensitivity was developed to explore these deviations. Departures from the linear-quadratic model in two cell lines could be adequately explained by cell cycle-related heterogeneity in experimental cell populations. In a third cell line, however, the deviations from the linear-quadratic model were not attributable to cell heterogeneity alone. One of the three human tumor cell lines examined here underwent a prolonged arrest in the G₁ phase of the cell cycle after irradiation. The arrest was characterized by following the progression of synchronized cells after irradiation at different times in G₁ phase. The characteristics of the arrest were consistent with a "checkpoint" in late G₁ phase where radiation-damaged cells stopped cycling for an extended period.
Adaptive Optics Imaging of IRAS 18276-1431: a bipolar pre-planetary nebula with circumstellar "searchlight beams" and "arcs"

description: We present high-angular resolution images of the post-AGB nebula IRAS18276-1431 (also known as OH17.7-2.0) obtained with the Keck II Adaptive Optics (AO) system in its Natural Guide Star (NGS) mode in the Kp, Lp, and Ms near-infrared bands. We also present supporting optical F606W and F814W HST images as well as interferometric observations of the 12CO(J=1-0), 13CO(J=1-0), and 2.6mm continuum emission with OVRO. The envelope of IRAS18276-1431 displays a clear bipolar morphology in our optical and NIR images with two lobes separated by a dark waist and surrounded by a faint 4.5"x3.4" halo. Our Kp-band image reveals two pairs of radial ``searchlight beams'' emerging from the nebula center and several intersecting, arc-like features. From our CO data we derive a mass of M>0.38[D/3kpc]^2 Msun and an expansion velocity v_exp=17km/s for the molecular envelope. The density in the halo follows a radial power-law proportional to r^-3, which is consistent with a mass-loss rate increasing with time. Analysis of the NIR colors indicates the presence of a compact central source of ~300-500K dust illuminating the nebula in addition to the central star. Modeling of the thermal IR suggests a two-shell structure in the dust envelope: 1) an outer shell with inner and outer radius R_in~1.6E16cm and R_out>~1.25E17cm, dust temperature T_d~105-50K, and a mean mass-loss rate of Mdot~1E-3Msun/yr; and 2) an inner shell with R_in~6.3E14cm, T_dust~500-105K, and Mdot~3E-5Msun/yr. An additional population of big dust grains (radius a>~0.4mm) with T_dust=150-20K and mass M_dust=(0.16-1.6)E-3 [D/3kpc]^2 Msun can account for the observed sub-mm and mm flux excess. The mass of the envelope enclosed within R_out=1.25E17cm derived from SED modeling is ~1[D/3kpc]^2 Msun.

Το δείγμα το αποτέλεσαν 242 μαθητές Γυμνασίου (Μ.Ο13.56.±1.04) και 245 μαθητές Λυκείου (Μ.Ο.16.40 ±.89). Τα όργανα μέτρησης που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν είναι το Ερωτηματολόγιο της Ποιότητας Ζωής (Quality of life measure, QOL, Jirojanakul, Skevington & Hudson, 2003), το Ερωτηματολόγιο της Ευημερίας (Well-being Questionnaire, Bradley, 1994), η Υποκλίμακα της Υποκειμενικής Ευτυχίας (Subjective Happiness Scale: SHS, των Lyubomirsky & Lepper, (1997), το Ερωτηματολόγιο Πως Αντιλαμβάνομαι Τον Εαυτό Μου (ΠΑΤΕΜ, Ε.Μπότσαρη, 2001) και την Γενική Κλίμακα Ικανοποίηση από την Ζωή (Satisfaction With Life Scale, SWLS, Diener et al., 1985). Από τα αποτελέσματα προέκυψε ότι τέσσερις παράγοντες επηρεάζουν την ποιότητα ζωής των μαθητών του γυμνασίου: το περιβάλλον, οι κοινωνικές σχέσεις, ο σωματικός παράγοντας και ο ψυχολογικός. Αντίθετα, για τους μαθητές του Λυκείου βρέθηκε ότι οι γονείς και οι φίλοι διαδραματίζουν σημαντικό ρόλο στην διαμόρφωση της ικανοποίησης από την ζωή τους. Μελλοντικές έρευνες είναι απαραίτητες για την αποσαφήνιση των παραγόντων που επηρεάζουν την ποιότητα ζωής των Ελλήνων μαθητών αλλά και για την επιλογή των καταλληλότερων οργάνων μέτρησης αυτής.
description: The present study aimed to investigate the factors that influence the quality of life of Greek students and estimate their satisfaction with life in general. Participants were 242 students of high school aged 12-15 (Μ.Ο13.56.±1.04) and 245 students lyceum school aged 16-18 (Μ.Ο.16.40 ±.89). The questionnaire that were used are: Quality of life measure, (QOL, Jirojanakul, Skevington & Hudson, 2003), the Well-being Questionnaire, (Bradley, 1994), Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS, Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1997), Self-description Questionnaire (E. Mpotsari, 2001) and the Satisfaction With Life Scale, (SWLS, Diener et al., 1985). The results of Anova and regression Analyses revealed that environment, social factor, psychological factor and physical factor influence students aged 12-15. In contrast, friends and parents influence the satisfaction with life of students aged 16-18 most. Finally, future research is necessary for understanding better the students' quality of life, as also it is important for school-based preventive intervention.

description: The solar atmosphere is full of complicated transients manifesting the reconfiguration of solar magnetic field and plasma. Solar jets represent collimated, beam-like plasma ejections; they are ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere and important for the understanding of solar activities at different scales, magnetic reconnection process, particle acceleration, coronal heating, solar wind acceleration, as well as other related phenomena. Recent high spatiotemporal resolution, wide-temperature coverage, spectroscopic, and stereoscopic observations taken by ground-based and space-borne solar telescopes have revealed many valuable new clues to restrict the development of theoretical models. This review aims at providing the reader with the main observational characteristics of solar jets, physical interpretations and models, as well as unsolved outstanding questions in future studies.

description: We consider stable modified theories of gravity that reproduce galactic rotation curves and the observed amount of weak lensing without dark matter. In any such model gravity waves follow a different geodesic from that of other massless particles. For a specific class of models which we call "dark matter emulators," over cosmological distances this results in an easily detectable and difference between the arrival times of the pulse of gravity waves from some cosmic event and those of photons or neutrinos. For a repeat of SN 1987a (which took place in the Large Magellanic Cloud) the time lag is in the range of days. For the recent gamma ray burst, GRB 070201 (which seems to have taken place on the edge of the Andromeda galaxy) the time lag would be in the range of about two years.

This work presents the cosmological equations of this theory, both at the background and perturbed level, for scalar, vector and tensor perturbation modes. By solving the background equations in the radiation era analytically, to an excellent approximation, I construct the primordial adiabatic perturbation for a general family of scalar field kinetic functions.

description: Observing the internal state of the whole system using a small number of sensor nodes is important in analysis of complex networks. Here, we study the problem of determining the minimum number of sensor nodes to discriminate attractors under the assumption that each attractor has at most K noisy nodes. We present exact and approximation algorithms for this minimization problem. The effectiveness of the algorithms is also demonstrated by computational experiments using both synthetic data and realistic biological data.

description: We have investigated the dipole charge- and spin-density response of few-electron two-dimensional concentric nanorings as a function of the intensity of a perpendicularly applied magnetic field. We show that the dipole response displays signatures associated with the localization of electron states in the inner and outer ring favored by the perpendicularly applied magnetic field. Electron localization produces a more fragmented spectrum due to the appearance of additional edge excitations in the inner and outer ring.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The year 2007 has furnished us with outstanding results about the origin of the most energetic cosmic rays: a flux suppression as expected from the GZK-effect has been observed in the data of the HiRes and Auger experiments and correlations between the positions of nearby AGN and the arrival directions of trans-GZK events have been observed by the Pierre Auger Observatory. The latter finding marks the beginning of ultra high-energy cosmic ray astronomy and is considered a major breakthrough starting to shed first light onto the sources of the most extreme particles in nature. This report summarizes those observations and includes other major advances of the field, mostly presented at the 30th International Cosmic Ray Conference held in Merida, Mexico, in July 2007. With increasing statistics becoming available from current and even terminated experiments, systematic differences amongst different experiments and techniques can be studied in detail which is hoped to improve our understanding of experimental techniques and their limitations.

HIV/Candida co-infection in Sub-Saharan African women on ART
Creators: name: Abrantes, Pedro

Year: 2015

description: Introduction: Sub-Saharan Africa has 23.5 million cases of HIV and is home to 92% of the world’s HIV-positive pregnant women of whom 24% die of pregnancy related complications. Oral candidiasis is a common condition in HIV-AIDS patients, caused by commensal yeasts which may colonise the mucous membranes of the mouth causing morbidity due to several factors including immunosuppression, smoking, poor nutrition and the use of antibiotics.

Results and conclusion: One hundred and ninety-six isolates, representative of six Candida species were identified. C. albicans was the predominating species, with C. glabrata and C. dubliniensis being the more frequent of the non-albicans isolates. Azole drug resistance patterns were very high for C. albicans, while C. glabrata showed high resistance patterns to echinocandins drugs. The duration of ART could be associated with the presence of different Candida species but no concrete  conclusions could be drawn concerning HIV/Candida co-infection when controlling for other risk factors such as HIV stage, pregnancy, age and treatment for tuberculosis. This may be a cause for concern, particularly in the case of pregnancy, where co-infection may pose a risk for maternal morbidity and mortality.

description: Polycrystalline members of the GaV$_4$S$_{8-y}$Se$_y$ family of materials with small levels of substitution between $0 \leq y \leq 0.5$ and $7.5 \leq y\leq 8$ have been synthesized in order to investigate their magnetic and structural properties. Substitutions to the skyrmion hosting parent compounds GaV$_4$S$_8$ and GaV$_4$Se$_8$, are found to suppress the temperature of the cubic to rhombohedral structural phase transition that occurs in both end compounds and to create a temperature region around the transition where there is a coexistence of these two phases. Similarly, the magnitude of the magnetization and temperature of the magnetic transition are both suppressed in all substituted compounds until a glassy-like magnetic state is realized. There is evidence from the $ac$ susceptibility data that skyrmion lattices with similar dynamics to those in GaV$_4$S$_8$ and GaV$_4$Se$_8$ are present in compounds with very low levels of substitution, $0 < y< 0.2$ and $7.8 < y < 8$, however, these states vanish at higher levels of substitution. The magnetic properties of these substituted materials are affected by the substitution altering exchange pathways and resulting in the creation of increasingly disordered magnetic states.

In: 10th International Conference on Higher Education Advances (HEAd’24). Valencia, 18-21 June 2024. https://doi.org/10.4995/HEAd24.2024.17014Data has shown that Thailand lags other countries in the region for start-up creation and success, with the limited provision of Entrepreneurship Education cited as a main reason. We investigated using qualitative research the views of existing entrepreneurs and students planning on starting a business on the education they received. We specifically looked at the content of Entrepreneurship Education, extracurricular activities, and opportunities for networking. We found that both agreed experiential learning and practical experience worked best, internships were an underutilized resource and founders were more aware than students of how to network and how it could help them. We suggest some recommendations to refine the current Entrepreneurship Education offering based on these results including modernizing the curriculum and making more use of internships and extracurricular activities for both experiential learning and networking, free from the constraints of assessments.

Για την μυϊκή δύναμη των κοιλιακών χρησιμοποιήθηκε το τεστ curl up ενώ για τους ραχιαίους μύες το τεστ του Biering-Sörensen. Xρησιμοποιήθηκε η ανάλυση διακύμανσης ANOVA με τρεις ανεξάρτητες μεταβλητές, σπόνδυλοι με 17 επίπεδα, φύλο με 2 επίπεδα και ηλικία με 9 επίπεδα. Για τον καθορισμό της συσχέτισης ανάμεσα στην κινητικότητα και στις επιδόσεις στα τεστ των κοιλιακών και των ραχιαίων εφαρμόστηκε το παραμετρικό τεστ Pearson’s. Ο συντελεστής σημαντικότητας ορίστηκε το p < 0.05. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν πως δεν υπάρχει συσχέτιση μεταξύ της κινητικότητας και της μυικής δύναμης της σπονδυλικής στήλης και πως η κινητικότητα στην θωρακική και οσφυϊκή μοίρα μειώνονται με την αύξηση της ηλικίας.
description: The problems of spinal posture and back pain are very common in growth spurt and in the puberty. The aim of this study was to examine the mobility and the muscle force of vertebral column and to check if exist a correlation between them. 474 students (251 boys and 223 girls), 6 to 15 years old participated in the study from 4 primary schools and 1 high school that was selected accidentally by the schools of Municipality Serres. Thoracic and lumbar mobility was measured with the MediMouse - SpineMouse , a skin-surface device that uses the telemetry, during standing, full flexion and full extension. Static and dynamic abdominal muscle endurance was evaluated with the curl up test and lumbar muscle with the Biering-Sörensen test. Analysis of variance with three independent variables, vertebras with 17 levels, sex with 2 levels and age with 9 levels was used and Pearson’s test for correlation between trunk mobility and trunk muscle endurance. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results showed that does not exist correlation between mobility and trunk muscle endurance and mobility in thoracic and lumbar spine are decreased with increasing age.

description: We present an analytic two-loop calculation within the scalar diquark model of the potential linear and angular momenta, defined as the difference between the Jaffe-Manohar and Ji notions of linear and angular momenta. As expected by parity and time-reversal symmetries, a direct calculation confirms that the potential transverse momentum coincides with the Jaffe-Manohar (or canonical) definition of average quark transverse momentum, also known as the quark Sivers shift. We examine whether initial/final-state interactions at the origin of the Sivers asymmetry can also generate a potential angular momentum in the scalar diquark model.

description: We apply recent developments in large momentum effective theory (LaMET) to formulate a non-perturbative calculation of the single-transverse spin asymmetry in terms of the quasi transverse-momentum-dependent quark distribution functions from the so-called Sivers mechanism. When the spin asymmetry is defined as the ratio of the quark Sivers function over the spin averaged distribution, it can be directly calculated in terms of the relevant quasi distributions with the soft functions and perturbative matching kernels cancelling out. Apart from the general formula presented, we have verified the result in the small transverse distance limit at one-loop order, which reduces to a collinear expansion at twist-three level.

description: Of the many different kinds of glassy states found in nature, spin glasses and structural glasses (e.g. normal window glass) have probably received the most attention. One of the central questions concerning the glassy state is whether the "glass" is a distinct thermodynamic phase from the "liquid" phase. It is believed that this may actually be the case for spin glasses, whereas the glass transition in structural glasses appears to be mostly kinetic in nature. Supercooled structural liquids, however, exhibit a wide range of behaviors, which can be classified using the "strong-fragile" scheme of Angell, where the terms "strong" and "fragile" refer to Arrhenius and highly non-Arrhenius relaxation behaviors, respectively. For the extremely fragile liquids, a thermodynamic origin of the glass transition cannot be ruled out. A microscopic understanding of the complexity leading to different degrees of fragility and affecting the kinetic glass transition is, however, lacking. Also the connection, if any, between the different kind of glass states (spin, structural, etc.) is unclear. Here we examine the glassy behavior of a novel type of matter, namely the vortex matter in the high-temperature superconductor (HTSC) YBa2Cu3Ox.

description: The complex nonlinear behaviors of heavily multimode lightwave structures have been recently the focus of considerable attention. Here we develop an optical thermodynamic approach capable of describing the thermalization dynamics in large scale nonlinear photonic chain networks - a problem that has remained unresolved so far. A Sackur-Tetrode equation is obtained that explicitly provides the entropy of these systems in terms of all the extensive variables involved. This entropic description leads to a self-consistent set of equations of state from where the optical temperature and chemical potential of the photon gas can be uniquely determined. Processes like isentropic expansion/compression, Joule expansion, as well as aspects associated with beam cleaning/cooling and thermal conduction effects in such chain networks are discussed. Our results open new vistas through which one can describe in an effortless manner the exceedingly complex dynamics of highly multimoded nonlinear bosonic systems that are nowadays of importance in areas ranging from high-power photonic settings to cold atom condensates and optomechanics.
A precision measurement of the neutron-neutron scattering length from the reaction [pi]-d -> [gamma] nn
Creators: name: Saliba, Michael Angelo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A measurement of the ¹S₀ neutron-neutron scattering length a[sub nn] has been carried out at TRIUMF by studying the shape of the photon energy spectrum from the reaction π⁻d —» γnn in the region near the endpoint. A 40.5 M eV pion beam was degraded and stopped in a liquid deuterium target and all three final state particles from the reaction were detected in triple coincidence. The photon was detected in a large Nal(Tl) crystal, while the neutrons were detected in a 2 m x 2 m position-sensitive array of plastic scintillation counters, located at a distance of 3 m from the target. The experimental photon energy spectrum was reconstructed to a resolution of 40 keV F W H M from the measured momenta of the two neutrons, and contains 123,000 counts in the top 450 keV region near the endpoint after background subtraction. The value of a[sub nn] is determined from a comparison of this experimental spectrum to simulated spectra that are being developed simultaneously at the University of Kentucky. These spectra are derived from a new model of this reaction that is based on a half off-shell NN T matrix and the elementary γΠ operator due to Lee and Nozawa. The experimental geometry and resolution are taken into account using Monte Carlo techniques. A comparison of our final experimental spectrum to a preliminary set of the simulated spectra has yielded the provisional result of a[sub nn] = -21.8 ± 0.3 fm (theoretical errors excluded) before correction for electromagnetic effects. This preliminary result is in disagreement with the currently accepted experimental value of a[sub nn] = -18.5 ± 0.3 fm, however we stress that the theoretical model is still under development. We anticipate that our final result will make a significant contribution to the discussion of charge symmetry breaking in the strong interaction, particularly with regard to the current uncertainty that surrounds the contribution of the (⍴-ω) mixing term in standard meson-theoretic potentials.

Επίσης, μελετήθηκε κατά πόσο επηρεάζεται ο εμβρυϊκός καρδιακός ρυθμός από την εφαρμογή ηχητικής διέγερσης κατά τη διάρκεια της καταγραφής του. Για την επεξεργασία των χρονοσειρών εμβρυϊκών καρδιακού ρυθμού, εφαρμόθηκε μια μετρική εύρεσης ομοιότητας δεδομένων που βασίζεται στην αμοιβαία συμπίεσής τους. Από τις συγκρίσεις που έγιναν, δεν προέκυψε κάποιο γενικό συμπέρασμα για το πως επηρεάζεται ο εμβρυϊκός καρδιακός ρυθμός από το κάπνισμα. Πολύ καλά αποτελέσματα, παρατηρήσαμε στην περίπτωση που μελετήσαμε πως επηρεάζεται ο εμβρυϊκός καρδιακός ρυθμός από την ηχητική διέγερση. Διαφοροποιείται και η διαφοροποίηση είναι πιο έντονη όσο αυξάνει η εβδομάδα κίνησης. Αμέσως μετά το κάπνισμα η επίδραση της ηχητικής διέγερσης, δεν είναι τόσο έντονη

description: We compute the spectral function $A({\bf k}, ω)$ of a model two-dimensional high-temperature superconductor, at both zero and finite temperatures $T$. We assume that an areal fraction $c_β$ of the superconductor has a large gap $Δ$ ($β$ regions), while the rest has a smaller $Δ$ ($α$ regions), both of which are randomly distributed in space. We find that $A({\bf k}, ω)$ is most strongly affected by inhomogeneity near the point $\mathbf k = (π, 0)$ (and the symmetry-related points). For $c_β\simeq 0.5$, $A({\bf k}, ω)$ exhibits two double peaks (at positive and negative energy) near this k-point if the difference between $Δ_α$ and $Δ_β$ is sufficiently large in comparison to the hopping integral. The strength of the inhomogeneity required to produce a split spectral function peak suggests that inhomogeneity is unlikely to be the cause of a second branch in the dispersion relation. Thermal fluctuations also affect $A({\bf k}, ω)$ most strongly near $\mathbf k = (π,0)$. Typically, peaks that are sharp at $T = 0$ become reduced in height, broadened, and shifted toward lower energies with increasing $T$; the spectral weight near $\mathbf k = (π, 0)$ becomes substantial at zero energy for $T$ greater than the phase-ordering temperature.

description: Nowadays the development of information and telecommunications has created unique abilities in the area of research, tracking and managing of information by everyone. In the recent years the rapid development of the internet and the popularity of its serviceshave established it as the major means of information distribution. Full Peripheral development presupposes reliable and precise census, registration, mapping, systematic observation throughout time as well as understanding of the elements, characteristics, tendencies and interactions between the natural and socioeconomic reality. In combination with specific problems, real potential and objective restrictions, the internet constitutes on of the most important means of presentation, pumping and exchange of essential information which will lead to proper and most importantly, comprehensive actions in an all the more complicated and dependent world. This assignment focuses on Epirus(more specifically the Municipality of Metsovo), the most mountainous region of Greece with extremely geopolitical importance which is affected and interacts with the neighboring regions and the national centre, the Balkans and the European Union

description: Systems of "living" polymers are ubiquitous in industry and are traditionally realised using surfactants. Here I review the state-of-the-art of living polymers and discuss non-equilibrium extensions that may be realised with advanced synthetic chemistry or DNA functionalised by proteins. These systems are not only interesting in order to realise novel "living" soft matter but can also shed insight into how genomes are (topologically) regulated in vivo.

Revised theory of the magnetic surface anisotropy of impurities in metallic mesoscopic samples

description: In several experiments the magnitude of the contribution of magnetic impurities to the Kondo resistivity shows size dependence in mesoscopic samples. It was suggested ten years ago that magnetic surface anisotropy can be responsible for the size dependence in cases where there is strong spin-orbit interaction in the metallic host. The anisotropy energy has the form $ΔE=K_d ({\bf n}{\bf S})^2$ where ${\bf n}$ is the vector perpendicular to the plane surface, ${\bf S}$ is the spin of the magnetic impurity and $K_d>0$ is inversely proportional to distance $d$ measured from the surface. It has been realized that in the tedious calculation an unjustified approximation was applied for the hybridizations of the host atom orbitals with the conduction electrons which depend on the position of the host atoms. Namely, the momenta of the electrons were replaced by the Fermi momentum $k_F$. That is reinvestigated considering the $k$-dependence which leads to singular energy integrals and in contrary to the previous result $K_d$ is oscillating like $\sin (2 k_F d)$ and the distance dependence goes like $1/d^3$ in the asymptotic region. As the anisotropy is oscillating, for integer spin the ground state is either a singlet or a doublet depending on distance $d$, but in the case of the doublet there is no direct electron induced transition between those two states at zero temperature. Furthermore, for half-integer ($S > 1/2$) spin it is always a doublet with direct transition only in half of the cases.

description: This paper explores current preservation planning practice and how traditional methods of research and survey have underserved Asian and Pacific Islander American communities in preserving both their cultural and historic resources. This paper also provides recommendations to current preservation planning practice to better serve these communities which include addressing the disparity between preservation and urban planning processes and incorporating and changing the way historic context studies and surveys are conducted and applied. Washington D.C.’s Chinatown was utilized as a case study example to critically analyze how the separation of preservation and planning processes affects the preservation and health of D.C.’s Chinatown.
