description: Virtually all community colleges and more than 90 percent of public four-year colleges use the results of placement tests—either alone or in concert with other information—to determine whether students are ready for college-level coursework or need remedial help in math or English. Evidence suggests that placement tests do a poor job of indicating which students need remediation. The Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness (CAPR) is studying an alternative placement system that uses multiple measures—including both placement test scores and high school GPAs—in predictive algorithms to place incoming students into remedial or college-level courses. Seven community colleges in the State University of New York system participated in the random assignment study to determine whether multiple measures placement leads to better student outcomes than a system based on test scores alone. Using multiple measures placement, many more students were assigned to college-level courses. In math, gains in college-level enrollment and completion were small and short-lived. But in English, the effects were much larger and lasted through at least three semesters. Regardless of whether they were predicted to succeed, students did better when they were allowed to start in college-level courses. A report on longer-term outcomes from the study will be released in summer 2022.
title: Evaluating the combined effects of climate change parameters on growth and physiology of Theobroma cacao L.
Creators: name: Mateus Rodríguez, Julián Fernando
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: Climate change scenarios predict increases in the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration [CO2] leading to global warming and changes in rainfall patterns in tropical regions. This will potentially impact the sustainability of cacao production and the livelihoods of millions of smallholder cacao farmers. Through a series of experiments, carried out under controlled environment facilities (growth cabinets and greenhouses), this research aimed to examine the interactive effects of elevated [CO2], temperature and water deficit on the growth and physiology of juvenile and mature plants of different cacao genotypes. Elevated [CO2] improved photosynthesis and growth parameters in cacao plants. However, the enhancement of growth was more evident in seedlings than matures trees. In seedlings, elevated [CO2] shifted the optimal temperature of photosynthesis by 2.5°C under warming conditions, suggesting potentially increased resilience of cacao to increased temperatures under higher [CO2] when air humidity and soil water is not limited. However, above 36/27°C (day/night) the compensatory effect of elevated [CO2] diminished. The negative effect of increased temperatures on growth and leaf area in juvenile and mature cacao plants, as well as on aspects of reproductive development (pollen viability and fertilisation success), pod growth and pod and bean biomass, were alleviated by elevated [CO2]. However, the apparent susceptibility of some genotypes to increases in temperature seemed to regulate the extent to which elevated [CO2] alleviated the negative impacts of temperature. Under the water-limited treatment, the compensatory effect of elevated [CO2] on photosynthesis and growth of seedlings was still observed but at a lower magnitude. However, temperature increases above 36/27°C exacerbated the adverse effect of water deficit. Genotypic variation in response to the different climate parameters demonstrated the potential for breeding cacao to cope with future scenarios. The results have shown that the impact of climate parameters on cacao are dynamic and interactive in nature, and the effect of a single climate variable may be modulated by others when they occur in combination.

description: Q-conditional symmetries (nonclassical symmetries) for a general class of two-component reaction-diffusion systems with constant diffusivities are studied. Using the recently introduced notion of Q-conditional symmetries of the first type (R. Cherniha J. Phys. A: Math. Theor., 2010. vol. 43., 405207), an exhaustive list of reaction-diffusion systems admitting such symmetry is derived. The form-preserving transformations for this class of systems are constructed and it is shown that this list contains only non-equivalent systems. The obtained symmetries permit to reduce the reaction-diffusion systems under study to two-dimensional systems of ordinary differential equations and to find exact solutions. As a non-trivial example, multiparameter families of exact solutions are explicitly constructed for two nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems. A possible interpretation to a biologically motivated model is presented.

description: Vorkaufsrechte für Landwirte beim Erwerb landwirtschaftlicher Grundstücke können als Instrument zur Regulierung des landwirtschaftlichen Bodenmarktes eingesetzt werden. Meist werden sie aus der Sichtweise der privilegierten Landwirte analysiert. Die Auswirkungen auf die Eigentümer landwirtschaftlicher Grundstücke werden oft außer Acht gelassen. Mit Hilfe eines Discrete Choice Experiments sowie einer Online-Befragung werden die Einstellung von landwirtschaftlichen Grundstückseigentümern zu und deren Nutzen aus Vorkaufsrechten untersucht. Ergänzend dazu wird die Willingness-To-Accept für verschiedene Eigenschaften der Vorkaufsrechte geschätzt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass auf Seiten der Grundstückseigentümer durchaus eine Bereitschaft zur Einräumung von Vorkaufsrechten besteht, aber auch, dass die Willingness-To-Accept in Abhängigkeit wichtiger exemplarischer Eigenschaften zwischen 52,20 und 1.647,50 Euro/Hektar schwankt. Mögliche Auswirkungen auf den landwirtschaftlichen Bodenmarkt können derzeit noch nicht abgeschätzt werden.

description: Charge or spin-qubits can be realized by using gate-defined quantum dots (QDs) in semiconductors in a similar fashion to the processes used in CMOS for conventional field-effect transistors or more recent fin FET technology. However, to realize larger number of gate-defined qubits, multiples of gates with ultimately high resolution and fidelity is required. Electron beam lithography (EBL) offers flexible and tunable patterning of gate-defined spin-qubit devices for studying important quantum phenomena. While such devices are commonly realized by a positive resist process using metal lift-off, there are several clear limitations related to the resolution and the fidelity of patterning. Herein, we report a systematic study of an alternative TiN multi-gates definition approach based on the highest resolution hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) EBL resist and all associated processing modes. The TiN gate arrays formed show excellent fidelity, dimensions down to 15 nm, various densities, and complexities. The processing modes developed were used to demonstrate applicability of this approach to forming multi-gate architectures for two types of spin-qubit devices prototypic to i) NW/fin-type FETs and ii) planar quantum well-type devices, both utilizing epi-grown Ge device layers on Si, where GeSn or Ge are the host materials for the QDs.

description: We theoretically investigate quasiparticle properties of a neutron immersed in an alpha condensate, which is one of the possible states of dilute symmetric nuclear matter. The resonant $p$-wave neutron-alpha scattering, which plays a crucial role in forming halo nuclei, is considered. This system is similar to a Bose polaron near the $p$-wave Feshbach resonance that can be realized in cold-atomic experiments. Calculating the self-energy within the field-theoretical approach, we give an analytical formula for the effective mass of a polaronic neutron as a function of alpha condensation density. Moreover, two adjacent neutrons in a medium, each of which behaves like a stable polaron having an enhanced effective mass, can form a bound dineutron, with the help of $^1S_0$ neutron-neutron attraction. This is in contrast to the case of the vacuum, where a dineutron is known to be unbound. Our result would be useful for understanding many-body physics in astrophysical environments as well as the formation of multi-nucleon clusters in neutron-halo nuclei.

description: Многие сельскохозяйственные культуры являются энтомофильными растениями и нуждаются в опылении природными опылителями или медоносными пчёлами. Рост площадей возделывания и расширение ассортимента масличных и других энтомофильных сельскохозяйственных культур требует уделять все большее внимание охране и поддержанию популяций природных опылителей. Автором предлагается комплекс мер, обеспечивающих охрану почвогнездящихся пчёл и шмелей, а также гнездящихся в стеблях растений пчелиных. Сохранение колоний пчел, создание цветущего конвейера в агроландшафте, проведение краткосрочных и долгосрочных агротехнических мероприятий с учётом биологических потребностей опылителей – условия эффективного опыления культур и получения высоких урожаев семян и плодов. Охрана естественных стаций, восстановление аборигенной степной растительности в Предкавказье в форме заказников и микрозаповедников должны быть направлены на поддержание биологического разнообразия растительного и животного мира агроландшафтов. Метод агростепей, разработанный СНИИСХ – оптимальный для Предкавказья способ сохранения природного биоразнообразия растительного и животного мира степей, подавления сорной растительности и других факторов оздоровления агроландшафтов, внедрения биологического земледелия, сохранения здоровых экосистем.

description: Для восстановления природно-ресурсного потенциала и повышения продуктивности аридных территорий юга России необходимо иметь высокоурожайные морозо-зимо-засухоустойчивые, солеустойчивые сорта кормовых трав. Сорта пырея удлинённого Ставропольский 10, Солончаковый и Аргонавт – стрессоустойчивые, озимого типа развития, сенокосно-пастбищного использования. Они имеют мощную, хорошо развитую мочковатую корневую систему. Сорта пырея удлинённого испытывали в сосудах с солонцеватыми почвами, образцы которых были отобраны на полуаридных кормовых угодьях Республики Калмыкия. Сосуды заполняли смесью почв из разных генетических горизонтов.
Вносили на один сосуд 0,10 и 50 мкг Р (фосфора) и 0 и 100 мкг Са (кальция) отдельно. Провели 3 укоса. Под влиянием Р (фосфора) урожайность сортов пырея удлинённого возросла на 13%.
Удобрение Са увеличило урожай кормовой массы сортов пырея удлиненного в среднем на 17%, а Са+Р – на 40% по сравнению с контролем. Стрессоустойчивые сорта пырея удлинённого Ставропольский 10, Солончаковый и Аргонавт обладают хорошими противоэрозионными свойствами. Урожайность зелёной массы сорта Ставропольский 10, сорта Солончаковый и сорта Аргонавт составила 36,3, 37,4 и 38,0 т/га, сена – 8,5, 9,4 и 10,5, семян – 079, 0,81 и 0,83 т/га соответственно. Кормовая ценность сортов пырея удлинённого увеличивается при посеве в смеси с бобовыми видами трав. На семена сорта пырея удлинённого при широкорядном способе посева (70 см) можно использовать 4–5 лет, на корм при сплошном посеве (сено, пастбища) – 10 и более лет. Глубина заделки семян в почву 2,5–3,0 см, норма высева на семена 6–8 кг/га, на сенокосы и пастбища 20–25 кг/га.

description: В статье приведены результаты 2-летнего исследования влияния технологии возделывания на урожайность и качество зерна озимой пшеницы, выращиваемой по предшественнику подсолнечник. За годы проведения исследования наибольшую степень влияния на урожайность зерна озимой пшеницы оказало рядковое удобрение. В условиях 2016/2017 с.-х. года с достаточным увлажнением этот показатель составил 78,8%, а в условиях недостаточного увлажнения 2017/2018 с.-х. года – 58,7%. При различных технологиях возделывания установлена высокая эффективность рядкового применения азотного (N52) и полного минерального удобрения (N52–104Р52К52). Прибавка урожайности озимой пшеницы, выращиваемой по технологии No-till, от этих удобрений в 2017 г. была практически такой же, как и при традиционной технологии – 0,51–2,03 т/га, а в 2018 г. – выше в 1,5–1,7 раза, что связано с особенностями погодных условий.
В 2017 г. достоверные отличия по урожайности озимой пшеницы между технологиями отмечались на двух вариантах применения удобрений (N12Р52 и N104Р52К52). В условиях 2018 г. сбор зерна по технологии No-till как на контроле, так и на всех удобренных вариантах был на 0,61–2,7 т/га, или на 17,8–43,2% ниже. В этом случае наименьшая существенная разница между технологиями наблюдалась лишь при внесении N104Р52К52 – 0,97 т/га, или 13,1%.
Для эффективного возделывания озимой пшеницы по подсолнечнику в первые годы внедрения технологии No-till в Центральном Предкавказье целесообразно внесение полного минерального удобрения с повышенной дозой азота. При выращивании по обеим технологиям получено зерно с более высокими показателями качества лишь при внесении N104Р52К94.

description: This guide is intended to help community college leaders understand the costs involved in implementing guided pathways reforms and develop plans for funding and sustaining them. It is based on research at six institutions that have implemented large-scale changes based on the guided pathways model, which focuses on supporting students to enter and complete programs of study that lead to good jobs and transfer to four-year college programs. The guide explores the following questions: What are the up-front and recurring costs of guided pathways reforms? How are colleges funding these costs? How are colleges sustaining support for guided pathways practices? How can college leaders contemplating guided pathways reforms estimate the costs involved and develop a viable plan for funding and sustaining the reforms? All six case study institutions incurred costs above and beyond the status quo, with the largest costs related to hiring, training, and maintaining an adequate number of advisors for case management advising by field. Significant start-up costs also included purchasing or upgrading information systems to support websites with user-friendly program maps, educational planning, case-management advising, and class scheduling. However, college leaders reported that they do not intend to return to old practices—even in response to a crisis of the magnitude of COVID-19—because guided pathways reforms have led to improved outcomes for students and benefited the colleges as businesses. Four colleges reported increased Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) retention and graduation rates and reductions in non-degree-applicable credits. Moreover, leaders at every college indicated that they were better positioned to respond to the COVID-19 crisis because of changes they made as part of their pathways reforms. This guide outlines steps that college leaders can take to estimate the costs involved in implementing guided pathways and develop a plan for funding and sustaining these reforms. A companion technical paper estimates the overall costs of implementing guided pathways for colleges of various sizes.

Προκειμένου να επιτευχθεί ο στόχος της εργασίας λαμβάνεται υπόψιν: 
• Το πλαίσιο της Ελλάδας αλλά και της Ευρωπαϊκής ένωσης σχετικά με τις πολιτικές της ενεργειακής αναβάθμισης. 
• Προβληματισμοί και δυσκολίες της ενεργειακής αναβάθμισης. 
• Οι αρχιτεκτονικές επεμβάσεις-αποκαταστάσεις και πως αυτές μπορούν να συνδυαστούν με την ενεργειακή αναβάθμιση. 
Η παρούσα ερευνητική εργασία επικεντρώνεται στις πέτρινες ιστορικά παραδοσιακές κατοικίες της Κρήτης και δε παρουσιάζει ενεργειακές προτάσεις για ιστορικά μνημεία ή κτίρια με άλλη χρήση.
description: The topic of the research project is the identification and evaluation of strategies for the energy upgrade of traditional stone houses in Crete. Improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings has great potential for mitigating the effects of global warming. The aim is to create a handbook for the architect that promotes the existing architectural heritage, traditional techniques taking into account modern needs in view of the ecological crisis.  Methodologically, the research is made initially bibliographical and then by reporting examples identified after field research. The present research paper focuses on the historic stone traditional houses of Crete and does not present energy proposals for historic monuments or buildings with other uses. In order to achieve the objective of the work, it is taken into account:
- The framework of Greece and the European Union regarding the policies of energy upgrading.
- Problems and difficulties of energy upgrading.
- Architectural interventions-restorations and how they can be combined with energy upgrading.

description: In 1996, following an epidemic, Pfizer tested a new drug on 200 children in Muslim Nigeria. 11 children died and multiple were disabled. We study the effects of negative news on vaccine compliance using evidence from the 2000 disclosure of deaths of Muslim children in the Pfizer trials. Muslim mothers reduced routine vaccination of children born after the 2000 disclosure. The effect was stronger for educated mothers and mothers residing in minority Muslim neighborhoods with relatively stronger ties to religious networks. The disclosure did not affect other health-seeking behavior of mothers, and the reduction effect is specific to child vaccination.
Finite temperature phase diagram of the classical Kitaev-Heisenberg model

description: We investigate the finite-temperature phase diagram of the classical Kitaev-Heisenberg model on the hexagonal lattice. Due to the anisotropy introduced by the Kitaev interaction, the model is magnetically ordered at low temperatures for all values of parameters at which the model has a discrete symmetry. The ordered phase is stabilized entropically by an order by disorder mechanism where thermal fluctuations of classical spins select collinear magnetic orders in which magnetic moments point along one of the cubic directions. We find that there is an intermediate phase between the low-temperature ordered phase and the high-temperature disordered phase. We show that the intermediate phase is a critical Kosterlitz-Thouless phase exhibiting correlations of the order parameter that decay algebraically in space. Using finite size scaling analysis, we determine the boundaries of the critical phase with reasonable accuracy. We show that the Kitaev interaction plays a crucial role in understanding the finite temperature properties of A$_2$IrO$_3$ systems.

description: Recent technological developments surrounding genetic testing pose new challenges to well-established reproductive practices. One current example is the fertility industry’s struggle to maintain gamete donor anonymity against the growing use of direct-to-consumer DNA tests. Consider the widely covered story of Danielle Teuscher, who in 2019 accidentally discovered the identity of her daughter’s anonymous sperm donor after using a 23andMe DNA test. Danielle’s attempt to reach out to the newfound family member was followed by a cease and desist letter from the sperm bank for violating their agreement. In addition, the sperm bank refused to give Danielle the four vials of sperm from the same donor, which she had reserved for future use, thus thwarting her reproductive plans to have genetic siblings for her daughter. The Teuscher case introduces a type of reproductive dispute that United States courts have not yet resolved. This Article considers several of the new legal questions produced by this set of novel circumstances, about the legal framework through which the dispute should be adjudicated, the nature of the rights at stake, and the harms imposed by forced or confounded procreation. It argues that in the social context of anonymous sperm donation, the contractual approach is a more appropriate—if insufficient—legal prism through which a dispute over the use of donated sperm should be resolved. The context of sperm donation also demands a nuanced treatment of the rights at stake—one that distinguishes, for example, between the right not to be a genetic parent and the right not to be a parent in the legal sense. Furthermore, properly articulating the interests of the parties requires a reassessment of the harm that forced procreation will impose on a person who at least at some point in time agreed to father a child they would not know or care for, as well as the harm imposed on a person denied a child carrying a particular genetic constituency.

description: Previous studies of the Swedish East India Company (SOIC) have consistently demonstrated the resentment of the ‘great maritime powers’, especially Great Britain, towards new competition emerging from Scandinavia. In response, the SOIC was forced to find a strategy to guarantee its survival and thereby avoid the fate of the recently abolished Ostend Company. While scholars have focused on the SOIC’s economic strategy, its legal strategy remains largely unexamined. This thesis explores the role of the Scot Colin Campbell (1686-1757) as a director of the SOIC, and how his knowledge of British law was a key component of Swedish success in the East India trade. Condemned as an ʽinterloperʼ by British legislation, his presence, viewed as hostile by other British subjects, naturally generated a response from Great Britain and the Honourable East India Company (EIC). The conflict culminated in the so-called Porto Novo affair of 1733, in which a 600-strong Franco-British force attacked the Swedish warehouse in the neutral town of Porto Novo on the Coromandel Coast. The ensuing eight-year-long lawsuit demonstrates the struggle between British exceptionalism and Swedish sovereignty, leading to the question: who owns the sea? Based on research into perceptions and reputations, this thesis contributes to the understanding of maritime conflicts in the absence of international maritime law and the impact of commercial treaties on the nationʼs sovereignty.

description: The electronic specific heat of Kondo insulators in magnetic field is studied for the half-filled Kondo lattice model on simple cubic lattice using a low-temperature theory in Kumar representation. The calculated specific heat is found to show quantum oscillations, which appear soon after the inversion transition and become prominent with decreasing Kondo coupling. Interestingly, it is noted that the field derivative of specific heat closely resembles the magnetic quantum oscillations, and exhibits more pronounced oscillations at finite temperatures than the magnetization itself. An empirical Lifshitz-Kosevich fit with two frequencies given by the theory describes these quantum oscillations reasonably well, where the frequencies correspond to the extremal areas on the surface of charge gap, a remnant of the Fermi surface in the insulating case.

description: Статистическое образование в России, зародившись в начале XIX в., стало особенно интенсивно развиваться после открытия в 1902 г. Экономического отделения Санкт-Петербургского политехнического института. Поставленные правительством амбициозные задачи по подготовке нового поколения научно-технических, экономических и управленческих кадров требовали неординарных подходов к обучению. Особую роль в создании новых методик преподавания статистики сыграл А.А.Чупров, который в 1902—1917 гг. руководил статистической подготовкой студентов в СПбПИ. В статье на основе анализа воспоминаний Чупрова и его учеников рассмотрены особенности разработанной ученым системы обучения. Методика преподавания Чупрова основывалась на сочетании лекционных и практических занятий, специальных курсов, семинаров и работы в статистическом кабинете. В лекционной части подготовки ученый делал акцент не на изложении фактического материала, а на изучении ключевых проблем курса и систематизации знаний. Лекции дополнялись практическими занятиями, в ходе которых у студентов формировались первые навыки использования научных статистических методов. Площадкой для более тщательной отработки исследовательских навыков стали семинарские занятия. Чупров отказался от традиционных форм ведения семинаров в пользу организации коллективной работы студентов над одной основной темой. Именно из учеников семинара сформировалась группа студентов, которые впоследствии выросли в последователей его научной школы и продолжали работать над развитием методов математической статистики. Сочетание глубокой теоретической подготовки, практического применения полученных знаний и работы над собственным научным исследованием впоследствии стало общепринятой практикой обучения на экономических специальностях в вузах.

description: We develop a new fluid model of a warm plasma that includes the radiative self-force on each plasma electron. Our approach is a natural generalization of established methods for generating fluid models without radiation reaction. The equilibrium of a magnetized plasma is analysed, and it is shown that the thermal motion is confined to the magnetic field lines. A dispersion relation is deduced for electric waves in a magnetized plasma, and it is shown to agree with our recently established relativistic kinetic theory derived from the Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac equation.

description: We study non-equilibrium dynamics for an ensemble of tilted one-dimensional atomic Bose-Hubbard chains after a sudden quench to the vicinity of the transition point of the Ising paramagnetic to anti-ferromagnetic quantum phase transition. The quench results in coherent oscillations for the orientation of effective Ising spins, detected via oscillations in the number of doubly-occupied lattice sites. We characterize the quench by varying the system parameters. We report significant modification of the tunneling rate induced by interactions and show clear evidence for collective effects in the oscillatory response.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating effects on women’s reproductive lives. Women’s access to both abortion and contraceptive care has been restricted in many states across the U.S. Yet, the coronavirus has put a strain on another aspect of women’s reproductive rights: childbirth. In New York, for example, several hospitals instituted bans on all visitors in order to protect obstetric health care providers, as well as patients and newborn babies, from the risks posed by the virus. The policies were met with anger and confusion among expectant parents. An executive order issued in response to such criticism, overruling these policies, was described by some health professionals as unethical and ill-informed. Against this background this Essay maps the ethical and legal issues raised by childbirth visitation bans. It argues that the benefits of such visitation bans should be weighed against the implications they may have on laboring women’s emotional and physical well-being, considering the challenges they already face during facility-based childbirth. It then considers several national and international legal frameworks through which women’s birthing rights may be affirmed, also pointing out where they fall short. Lastly, this Essay makes recommendations for how such rights may be better addressed by different legal actors, including scholars, courts, and legislators.

Photon elliptic flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions: hadronic versus partonic sources

description: We study the transverse momentum spectrum and the elliptic flow v2 of photons produced in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV using the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach. As sources for photon production, we incorporate the interactions of off-shell quarks and gluons in the strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma (q+qbar->g+gamma and q/qbar+g->q/qbar+gamma), the decays of hadrons (pi->gamma+gamma, eta->gamma+gamma, omega->pi+gamma, eta'->rho+gamma, phi->eta+gamma, a_1->pi+gamma) as well as their interactions (pi+pi->rho+gamma, rho+pi->pi+gamma, bremsstrahlung m+m->m+m+gamma). The PHSD calculations reproduce the transverse momentum spectrum, the effective temperature T_eff and the elliptic flow v2 of both inclusive and direct photons as measured by the PHENIX Collaboration. The photons produced in the QGP contribute slightly less then 50% to the observed spectrum, but have small v2. We find that the large direct photon v2 - comparable to that of hadrons - can be attributed to the intermediate hadronic scattering channels not subtracted from the data when following the same extraction procedure for v2 as in the PHENIX experiment. On the other hand the v2 of direct photons - as evaluated by the weighted average of direct photon channels - gives a lower signal. The difference between the two extraction procedures for the direct photon v2 can be attributed to different definitions for the yield ratio of direct photons to the background photons. The QGP phase causes the strong elliptic flow of photons indirectly, by enhancing the v2 of final hadrons due to the partonic interaction in terms of explicit parton collisions and the mean-field potentials. We also show that the presence of the QGP radiation is manifest in the slope of the direct photon spectrum, leading to a slope parameter T_eff far above the critical temperature for the deconfinement phase transition.

description: Seawater electrolysis is an attractive approach for producing clean hydrogen fuel in scenarios where freshwater is scarce and renewable electricity is abundant. However, chloride ions (Cl−) in seawater can accelerate electrode corrosion and participate in the undesirable chlorine evolution reaction (CER). This problem is especially acute in acidic conditions that naturally arise at the anode as a result of the desired oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we demonstrate that ultrathin silicon oxide (SiOx) overlayers on model platinum anodes are highly effective at suppressing the CER in the presence of 0.6 M Cl− in both acidic and unbuffered pH-neutral electrolytes by blocking the transport of Cl− to the catalytically active buried interface while allowing the desired oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to occur there. The permeability of Cl− in SiOx overlayers is 3 orders of magnitude less than that of Cl− in a conventional salt-selective membrane used in reverse osmosis desalination. The overlayers also exhibit robust stability over 12 h in chronoamperometry tests at moderate overpotentials. SiOx overlayers demonstrate a promising step toward achieving selective and stable seawater electrolysis without the need to adjust the pH of the electrolyte.

description: The particle transport through a chain of quantum dots coupled to two bosonic reservoirs is studied. For the case of reservoirs of non-interacting bosonic particles, we derive an exact set of stochastic differential equations, whose memory kernels and driving noise are characterised entirely by the properties of the reservoirs. Going to the Markovian limit an analytically solvable case is presented. The effect of interparticle interactions on the transient behaviour of the system, when both reservoirs are instantaneously coupled to an empty chain of quantum dots, is approximated by a semiclassical method, known as the Truncated Wigner approximation. The steady-state particle flow through the chain and the mean particle occupations are explained via the spectral properties of the interacting system.
