description: We have investigated low-frequency 1/f noise in the boron nitride - grapheme - boron nitride heterostructure field - effect transistors on Si/SiO2 substrates (f is a frequency). The device channel was implemented with a single layer graphene encased between two layers of hexagonal boron nitride. The transistors had the charge carrier mobility in the range from 30000 to 36000 cm2/Vs at room temperature. It was established that the noise spectral density normalized to the channel area in such devices can be suppressed to 5 x 10^-9 μm2 Hz^-1, which is a factor of x5 - x10 lower than that in non-encapsulated graphene devices on Si/SiO2. The physical mechanism of noise suppression was attributed to screening of the charge carriers in the channel from traps in SiO2 gate dielectric and surface defects. The obtained results are important for the electronic and optoelectronic applications of graphene.

description: We study the problem of two interacting particles in a one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattice of the Harper model. We show that a short or long range interaction between particles leads to emergence of delocalized pairs in the non-interacting localized phase. The properties of these Freed by Interaction Kinetic States (FIKS) are analyzed numerically including the advanced Arnoldi method. We find that the number of sites populated by FIKS pairs grows algebraically with the system size with the maximal exponent $b=1$, up to a largest lattice size $N=10946$ reached in our numerical simulations, thus corresponding to a complete delocalization of pairs. For delocalized FIKS pairs the spectral properties of such quasiperiodic operators represent a deep mathematical problem. We argue that FIKS pairs can be detected in the framework of recent cold atom experiments [M.~Schreiber {\it et al.} Science {\bf 349}, 842 (2015)] by a simple setup modification. We also discuss possible implications of FIKS pairs for electron transport in the regime of charge-density wave and high $T_c$ superconductivity.

Stellar radio emission
Optical stellar flares

description: Radio observations are excellent probes of supra-thermal charges and magnetic fields in the coronae/magnetospheres of the coldest stars and brown dwarfs, and they are vital for identifying the impact of stellar plasma on exoplanet atmospheres and the coronal heating mechanism. Their strong magnetic field leads to radio emission via different mechanisms such as gyrosynchrotron emission, electron cyclotron maser instability, and plasma emission. As the ongoing LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) is the largest radio sky survey ever conducted (by source counts), I shall present the latest results on our effort to identify cyclotron maser emission from stellar and brown-dwarf candidates in the LoTSS data using optical and infrared catalogues from Gaia and Pan-STARRS. By using radio-detected population’s properties, we shall differentiate the two possible acceleration mechanisms: (a) chromospheric or coronal acceleration similar to that observed on the Sun, and (b) magnetospheric acceleration occurring far from the stellar surface similar to that observed on Jupiter.

description: Cotton provides the most abundant natural fiber for the textile industry. The mature cotton fiber largely consists of secondary cell walls with the highest proportion of cellulose and a small amount of hemicellulose and lignin. To dissect the roles of hemicellulosic polysaccharides during fiber development, four IRREGULAR XYLEM 15 (IRX15) genes, GhIRX15-1/-2/-3/-4, were functionally characterized in cotton. These genes encode DUF579 domain-containing proteins, which are homologs of AtIRX15 involved in xylan biosynthesis. The four GhIRX15 genes were predominantly expressed during fiber secondary wall thickening, and the encoded proteins were localized to the Golgi apparatus. Each GhIRX15 gene could restore the xylan deficient phenotype in the Arabidopsis irx15irx15l double mutant. Silencing of GhIRX15s in cotton resulted in shorter mature fibers with a thinner cell wall and reduced cellulose content as compared to the wild type. Intriguingly, GhIRX15-2 and GhIRX15-4 formed homodimers and heterodimers. In addition, the GhIRX15s showed physical interaction with glycosyltransferases GhGT43C, GhGT47A and GhGT47B, which are responsible for synthesis of the xylan backbone and reducing end sequence. Moreover, the GhIRX15s can form heterocomplexes with enzymes involved in xylan modification and side chain synthesis, such as GhGUX1/2, GhGXM1/2 and GhTBL1. These findings suggest that GhIRX15s participate in fiber xylan biosynthesis and modulate fiber development via forming large multiprotein complexes.

description: We consider systems of interacting Generalized Friedman's Urns (GFUs) having irreducible mean replacement matrices. The interaction is modeled through the probability to sample the colors from each urn, that is defined as convex combination of the urn proportions in the system. From the weights of these combinations we individuate subsystems of urns evolving with different behaviors. We provide a complete description of the asymptotic properties of urn proportions in each subsystem by establishing limiting proportions, convergence rates and Central Limit Theorems. The main proofs are based on a detailed eigenanalysis and stochastic approximation techniques.

description: Delivery of instructions on line (e-learning) is trending globally especially in areas with security challenges like the North East, Nigeria. Teachers and students can no longer stay in the classrooms without fear of being attacked or kidnapped with attendant consequences on attrition rate and quality of products. This study investigated the e-learning readiness of lecturers and students in Federal Colleges of Education in the North East, Nigeria. The design of the study is descriptive survey. Four research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The population comprised of 2100 lecturers and students from three accessible federal colleges of education in the North East, Nigeria. Taro Yamen sampling formula was used to determine the sample size of 336. Two instruments were used for data collection. They were Checklist and Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and t-test were used for data analysis. The study found that e-learning facilities are available and the lecturers and students are ready but faced by many constrains. Recommendations were made based on the findings of the study.

description: Using the helicity-spinor language we explore the non-perturbative constraints that Lorentz symmetry imposes on three-point amplitudes where the asymptotic states can be massive. As it is well known, in the case of only massless states the three-point amplitude is fixed up to a coupling constant by these constraints plus some physical requirements. We find that a similar statement can be made when some of the particles have mass. We derive the generic functional form of the three-point amplitude by virtue of Lorentz symmetry, which displays several functional structures accompanied by arbitrary constants. These constants can be related to the coupling constants of the theory, but in an unambiguous fashion only in the case of one massive particle. Constraints on these constants are obtained by imposing that in the UV limit the massive amplitude matches the massless one. In particular, there is a certain Lorentz frame, which corresponds to projecting all the massive momenta along the same null momentum, where the three-point massive amplitude is fully fixed, and has a universal form.

description: Due to concern over the reliability and accuracy of online health information, several organizations have developed criteria to aid health consumers in evaluating the quality of health websites. These criteria also act as guidelines for developers to ensure they are creating websites that adhere to certain quality principles. Given the important intermediary role libraries serve in the dissemination of health information, this study was designed to assess how well libraries are following the quality guidelines when developing their own consumer health websites. Do the libraries meet a minimum standard of quality? One hundred and eighteen library websites offering consumer health information were evaluated on nine criteria: purpose, authority, disclosure, scope, accuracy, currency, relevancy, accessibility, and navigability. Overall, the scores show that most libraries fail to meet even half of the minimum quality criteria. Only two libraries scored in the top quartile. While most library sites rated well on accessibility and navigability, areas for considerable improvement include authority, disclosure, currency, and relevancy.

description: The presence of magneto-acoustic waves in magnetic structures in the solar atmosphere is well-documented. Applying the technique of solar magneto-seismology (SMS) allows us to infer the background properties of these structures. Here, we aim to identify properties of the observed magneto-acoustic waves and study the background properties of magnetic structures within the lower solar atmosphere. Using the Dutch Open Telescope (DOT) and Rapid Oscillations in the Solar Atmosphere (ROSA) instruments, we captured two series of high-resolution intensity images with short cadence of two isolated magnetic pores. Combining wavelet analysis and empirical mode decomposition (EMD), we determined characteristic periods within the cross-sectional (i.e., area) and intensity time series. Then, by applying the theory of linear magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), we identified the mode of these oscillations within the MHD framework. Several oscillations have been detected within these two magnetic pores. Their periods range from 3 to 20 minutes. Combining wavelet analysis and EMD enables us to confidently find the phase difference between the area and intensity oscillations. From these observed features, we concluded that the detected oscillations can be classified as slow sausage MHD waves. Further, we determined several key properties of these oscillations such as the radial velocity perturbation, magnetic field perturbation and vertical wavenumber using solar magnetoseismology. The estimated range of the related wavenumbers reveals that these oscillations are trapped within these magnetic structures. Our results suggest that the detected oscillations are standing harmonics, and, this allows us to estimate the expansion factor of the waveguides by employing SMS. The calculated expansion factor ranges from 4-12.

description: "The self-induced collapse hypothesis" was introduced by D. Sudarsky and collaborators to explain the origin of cosmic structure from a perfect isotropic and homogeneous universe during the inflationary regime. In this paper, we calculate the power spectrum for the tensor modes, within the semiclassical gravity approximation, with the additional hypothesis of a generic self-induced collapse of the inflaton's wave function; we also compute an estimate for the tensor-to-scalar ratio. Based on this calculation, we show that the considered proposal exhibits a strong suppression of the tensor modes amplitude; nevertheless, the corresponding amplitude is still consistent with the joint BICEP/KECK and Planck Collaboration's limit on the tensor-to-scalar ratio.

title: The Effects of Ethanol on the Flavour of Whisky
Creators: name: MacGarry, Sally
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2023

description: The spirit industry has in recent years begun producing no and low alcohol spirit-like products and there is a demand for innovation within this category. To create a no or low alcohol whisky-like product we must first understand how the flavour and aroma of compounds associated with whisky are perceptually different in variable alcohol strengths. Our best tool for this is sensory analysis. The whisky industry typically dilutes samples to 20% abv and generally assesses by nosing as indicative of the flavour effects of whisky. There is little published work on the flavour effects of dilution or the variation between what can be perceived by nosing and tasting whiskies. This study used three lines of investigation to explore the sensorial aroma and taste effects of ethanol 1. Dilution of commercial whiskies 2. Ethanol contribution to flavour profile 3. Effect of a variable ethanol/water environment on flavour-active individual compounds found in whisky.

Results from this study indicate that ethanolic flavour contributions of sweetness and bitterness should be considered when making a no/low alcohol product. There are observable differences in flavour and aroma of the compounds that is variable and affected by ethanol percentage. Some aspects of whisky flavour such as: isoamyl acetate (fruity) vanillin (vanilla) and diacetyl (oily), were not significantly affected by ethanol percentage where others, such as guaiacol (peaty) o-cresol (peaty) and whisky lactone (nutty), were significantly more intense at low ethanol concentrations. Further work looking at the effects of trigeminal stimulation on flavour is recommended in this field.
A systematic synchro-curvature modelling of pulsar $γ$-ray spectra unveils hidden trends

description: $γ$-ray radiation from pulsars is usually thought to be mostly produced by the synchro-curvature losses of accelerated particles. Here we present a systematic study of all currently reported, good-quality Fermi-LAT pulsar spectral data. We do so by applying a model which follows the particle dynamics and consistently computes the emission of synchro-curvature radiation. By fitting observational data on a case by case basis, we are able to obtain constraints about the parallel electric field, the typical lengthscale over which particles emit the bulk of the detected radiation, and the number of involved particles. The model copes well with data of several dozens of millisecond and young pulsars. By correlating the inferred model parameters with the observed timing properties, some trends are discovered. First, a non-negligible part of the radiation comes from the loss of perpendicular momentum soon after pair creation. Second, the electric field strongly correlates with both the inverse of the emission lengthscale and the magnetic field at light cylinder, thus ruling out models with high-energy photon production close to the surface. These correlations unify young and millisecond pulsars under the same physical scenario, and predict that magnetars are intrinsically $γ$-ray quiet via syncrhro-curvature processes, since magnetospheric particles are not accelerated enough to emit a detectable $γ$-ray flux.

description: Nigeria, like many other developing countries of the world had considered education as the panacea to her developmental objectives, believing fully that no country has ever grown above the quality of education available to her citizens. This paper examines the national and state policies on ICT, strategies for utilization of ICT, and challenges of ICT in the teaching-learning process in secondary schools in Cross River State. The research reviewed previous and related studies associated with ICT. The challenges of implementation of ICT are numerous such as lack of infrastructure, policy, legal and regulatory framework, internet and broadband, capacity building, public private partnership etc. the prospects for implementation also formed part of the review. It was concluded that as a means of developing capacity for a self-discovery learning and instruction. It was therefore recommended that education policy planners should include ICT education into Cross River State public secondary schools’ curriculum and provide measures of achieving it.

description: Multiple star systems are a common by-product of the stellar formation process. They represent a unique opportunity to learn about stellar formation and evolution. Stellar models can greatly benefit from the cases in which M dwarfs are physically bound to solar type stars. We investigate the presence of physical companions at all separations in a sample of 2213 M dwarfs: from close spectroscopic binaries to very wide pairs. We explore their physical connection, and compute their binding energies and orbital periods, taking advantage of broadband multiwavelength photometry and of the latest astrometry from the third Gaia release (DR3). We find that the stellar multiplicity rate (SMR) in M dwarfs can be as high as 40%.

description: We used a micromechanical torsional oscillator to measure the magnetic response of a twinned YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ single crystal disk near the Bose glass transition. We observe an anomaly in the temperature dependence of the magnetization consistent with the appearance of a magnetic shielding perpendicular to the correlated pinning of the twin boundaries. This effect is related to the thermodynamic transition from the vortex liquid phase to a Bose glass state.

Entanglement in fermion systems

description: We analyze the problem of quantifying entanglement in pure and mixed states of fermionic systems with fixed number parity yet not necessarily fixed particle number. The "mode entanglement" between one single-particle level and its orthogonal complement is first considered, and an entanglement entropy for such a partition of a particular basis of the single-particle Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ is defined. The sum over all single-particle modes of this entropy is introduced as a measure of the total entanglement of the system with respect to the chosen basis and it is shown that its minimum over all bases of $\mathcal H$ is a function of the one-body density matrix. Furthermore, we show that if minimization is extended to all bases related through a Bogoliubov transformation, then the entanglement entropy is a function of the generalized one-body density matrix. These results are then used to quantify entanglement in fermion systems with four single-particle levels. For general pure states of such a system a closed expression for the fermionic concurrence is derived, which generalizes the Slater correlation measure defined in [J. Schliemann et al, Phys. Rev. A 64, 022303 (2001)], implying that "particle entanglement" may be seen as minimum "mode entanglement". It is also shown that the entanglement entropy defined before is related to this concurrence by an expression analogous to that of the two-qubit case. For mixed states of this system the convex roof extension of the previous concurrence and entanglement entropy are evaluated analytically, extending the results of previous ref. to general states.

Italian agri-food exports in the international arena

Year: 2014

description: The aim of the paper is to highlight the positioning of the so-called Made in Italy agro-food exports in foreign markets considering global world tendencies as well as country specific trends. Besides, we aim at disentangling the role of product quality from price competition as a driver of competitive advantages. To these ends, the work combines two different methodologies, applied in three steps. First, we estimate the elasticities of Italian exports, with respect to world imports, Italian export prices and the competitors’ prices. Second, an index of the sophistication of exports’ flows that captures the role of quality in global competition is calculated. Third, the estimated elasticities are compared with the changes in the sophistication levels. Results allow for product-specific trends to stem out from the overall picture. Exports’ performance varies according to the type of product and to the degree of market completion. Although, the Made In Italy aggregate seems overall competitive, the analysis pinpoints some drawbacks in the positioning of some products in the world arena. Focus on wine and on olive oil, two major Italian exporting sectors, helps in understanding the potential of the joint methodology adopted.

Naughty or Nice? The Role of the `N' in the Natural NMSSM for the LHC

description: In this work, we present mass limits on gluinos and stops in a natural Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) with a singlino as the lightest supersymmetric particle. Motivated by naturalness, we consider spectra with light higgsinos, sub-TeV third generation sparticles and gluinos well below the multi-TeV regime while the electroweak gauginos, the sleptons and the first and second generation squarks are decoupled. We check that our natural supersymmetry spectra satisfy all electroweak precision observables and flavour measurements as well as theoretical constraints. By reinterpreting the results from the 8 TeV ATLAS supersymmetry searches we present the 95% CL exclusion limits on the model. The results show that the presence of a singlino LSP can lengthen decay chains and soften the final state particle energies. Whilst this does reduce the strength of the bounds in some areas of parameter space, the LHC still displays good sensitivity to the model.
The development of a behaviour management plan

subject: FOS: Educational sciences

description: The purpose of this research was to develop a behaviour management plan and to adopt a process by which this could be achieved. Behaviour management is an area of specialisation receiving increased attention. Schools in Queensland are required to develop a behaviour management plan by the end of 1994. The case study school was a small, rural primary school situated in the Sunshine Coast region of Queensland. The school community comprised of 143 students, one teaching principal, six teachers, five ancillary staff and 100 parents. All sections of the school community were represented in the study including 50% of the parents who responded to a survey during the process of the development of the plan. The process of the development of the plan and the plan itself could be adapted for other schools to use. The researcher facilitated an action research model, beginning with local issues and involving the participants in a reflection on their own practice. The process presented in this study encourages school communities to develop their behaviour management plans through action research.

Effects of switching between production systems in dairy farming

description: The increasing intensification of dairy farming in Europe has sparked an interest in studying the economic consequences of this process. However, empirically classifying farms as extensive or intensive is not a straightforward task. In recent papers, Latent Class Models (LCM) have been used to avoid an ad-hoc split of the sample into intensive and extensive dairy farms. A limitation of current specifications of LCM is that they do not allow farms to switch between different productive systems over time. This feature of the model is at odds with the process of intensification of the European dairy industry in recent decades. We allow for changes of production system over time by estimating a single LCM model but splitting the original panel into two periods, and find that the probability of using the intensive technology increases over time. Our estimation proposal opens up the possibility of studying the effects of intensification not only across farms but also over time.
