description: We present the first lattice-QCD result for the Zemach and Friar radii of the proton and neutron. Our calculation includes both quark-connected and -disconnected diagrams and assesses all sources of systematic uncertainties arising from excited-state contributions, finite-volume effects and the continuum extrapolation. At the physical point, we obtain for the proton $r_Z^p = ( 1.013 \pm 0.010\ (\mathrm{stat}) \pm 0.012\ (\mathrm{syst}) )~\mathrm{fm}$ and $r_F^p = ( 1.301 \pm 0.012\ (\mathrm{stat}) \pm 0.014\ (\mathrm{syst}) )~\mathrm{fm}$. These numbers suggest small values of the Zemach and Friar radii of the proton, but are compatible with most of the experimental studies.

description: The manuscript deals with the development, validation, and theoretical chemistry behind a reverse-phase HPLC methodology needed to separate, identify, and evaluate the content of 4-nitrophenyl ethylamine (4-NPA) and its associated impurities (i.e., 2-NPA, 3-NPA, 2-PEA, and acetamide impurity). The developed HPLC method was found to be specific, linear, precise, repeatable, accurate, and robust. This method can be used to assess the quality of 4-NPA sample for the quantification of 2-NPA, 3-NPA, 2-PEA, acetamide impurity. The purpose of this research is for separation and quantification of positional isomers, which is mandatory during the analysis of 4-NPA samples to avoid further formation of analogues derivative of 2-NPA and 3-NPA intermediate and drug substances. Computational studies demonstrated that nitro substitution, regardless of its position, enhances the electron-accepting capacity of the molecule and its overall reactivity, while decreasing its stability. The persistent trend of enhanced electrophilicity and electron-accepting characteristics (2-PEA < 2-NPA < 3-NPA < 4-NPA) illustrates the considerable influence of the nitro group position on molecular electronic properties, with para-substitution proving to be the most efficacious in augmenting potential reactivity and electron-accepting capacity.

description: In this work, for the first time in literature, we study the predictions of non-minimally coupled Natural and Coleman-Weinberg potentials in the $n_s-r$ plane, and an extended $Λ$CDM model where we include non-standard self-interactions among massive neutrinos, mediated by a heavy scalar or vector boson. Constraints were derived using the Planck 2018 + BICEP/Keck 2018 datasets along with other data. For the inflationary potentials, we consider two different formulations in gravity that are non-minimally coupled to the scalar field of the inflaton: \textit{Metric and Palatini.} We only consider the self-interaction to be present among $τ$-neutrinos and only at moderate strengths. This is because strong interactions among $τ$-neutrinos, or any strength self-interaction among electron- and muon-neutrinos, as well as any strength flavor-universal interactions, are strongly disfavoured from particle physics experiments.
 In terms of cosmological data, we use the latest public CMB datasets from Planck 2018 and BICEP/Keck 2018 collaborations, along with other data from CMB lensing, BAO, RSD, and SNe Ia luminosity distance measurements. We find that there are some situations where predictions from the inflationary models are ruled out at more than 2$σ$ by the minimal $Λ$CDM$+r$ model, but they are allowed in the self-interacting neutrino scenario.

description: Building on detailed research documenting New South Wales's (NSW) women's contributions to international exhibitions at the turn of the century, this chapter juxtaposes the Australian Margaret Windeyer's experiences with the achievements of another soon-to-be enfranchised group of outsiders at the Exposition, Utah's Mormon women. Emerging from isolation to acclaim at the World's Congress of Representative Women, these women confounded their fellow delegates' prejudices. Triumphant in Chicago, Mormons assimilated into the American feminist firmament. National acceptance provided a platform for international collaboration. Over the decade following the World's Columbian Exposition, the Utahns who excelled in Chicago rose to international prominence. By contrast, rather than heralding a new cosmopolitanism, Windeyer's tour constituted the apogee of early Australian feminist internationalism. Comparing NSW women's cross-border forays against those of their American frontier counterparts complicates any straightforward argument for Australian exceptionalism. Beginning in 1893, the chapter traces NSW and Utah women's participation in the international women's movement, contending that structural inequalities hindered Australian women's involvement in cross-border endeavors. Combined, Australia's distance from the international feminism's Atlantic nexus, and the vexatious question of "national" representation for the federating Australian colonies, put NSW women at a disadvantage. Whereas Utah delegates received generous support to attend international congresses and exhibitions from the Territory's secular and religious authorities, the NSW government questioned women's value as colonial boosters. Read alongside one another, Margaret Windeyer and her Utahn counterparts' commitment to engage with women outside colonial and state borders, and the uneven fruits of their vision, offer a case study of the dynamics of early transnational feminist organizing at the periphery.

description: Tobacco product usage patterns vary significantly across different segments of the population. Combustible tobacco product usage decreased from 19.3% to 12.5%, while electronic cigarette (ECIG) use rose from 1.8% to 3.7% for the US population from 2010 to 2020. However, age-specific estimates differ between younger and older adults. It is possible there are latent subpopulations within American adults. Data from Wave 6 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health survey (PATH, N = 30,516) were analyzed. Participants were classified as a member of Generation Z (N = 10,920), Millennials (N = 10,450), Generation X (N = 6122), or Baby Boomers (N = 3024) via a 6-level ordinal variable collected by PATH. Latent class analysis (LCA) identified distinct groups based on 8 tobacco use variables. Analysis suggests that a 4-class solution provides the optimal solution for the entire sample. These classes comprised of a low-use class, a high-use class, ECIG Plus (defined as ECIG use with less probability of other tobacco product use), and a conventional user class, defined as high probability on conventional tobacco products. A 4-class solution also provided optimal fit for each generation, though the classes were defined differently. Understanding tobacco use patterns across different classes is crucial for public health interventions. The discovery of a possible class of social users among Generation Z and Millennials suggests that targeted interventions tailored to the social contexts and behaviors of younger generations may be effective while pharmacological treatments may be more efficacious for Baby Boomers.

description: We conduct one-dimensional stellar evolutionary numerical simulations under the assumption that an efficient dynamo operates in the core of massive stars years to months before core collapse and find that the magnetic activity enhances mass loss rate and might trigger binary interaction that leads to outbursts. We assume that the magnetic flux tubes that the dynamo forms in the inner core buoy out to the outer core where there is a steep entropy rise and a molecular weight drop. There the magnetic fields turn to thermal energy, i.e., by reconnection. We simulate this energy deposition where the entropy steeply rises and find that for our simulated cases the envelope radius increases by a factor of 1.2-2 and luminosity by about an order of magnitude. These changes enhance the mass loss rate. The envelope expansion can trigger a binary interaction that powers an outburst. Because magnetic field amplification depends positively on the core rotation rate and operates in cycles, not in all cases the magnetic activity will be powerful enough to change envelope properties. Namely, only a fraction of core-collapse supernovae experiences pre-explosion outbursts.

description: Smoking prevalence follows a socioeconomic gradient. In France, although overall smoking rates have declined, the prevalence of daily smoking remains high among individuals with the lowest socioeconomic position (SEP), especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Literature suggests that the level of neighborhood deprivation is also associated with smoking status, and this association might vary by SEP. However, the literature is mostly cross-sectional and limited in France. To determine the association of neighborhood deprivation on smoking, and the role of individual SEP within this association. Using data from the French TEMPO cohort study, we conducted generalized estimating equation models to estimate the relationship between smoking status, tertiles of the French Deprivation Index (FDEP), and individual SEP, measured by education level. The analysis was conducted on 837 participants with an average age of 31.2 years. The results of the generalized estimating equation model indicated no overall association between the FDEP and smoking, however our stratified analysis showed that those with low education residing in the highest deprivation tertile had, on average, 2.76 times greater odds of being smokers (95% CI 1.29–5.93) compared to those in the lowest deprivation tertile. Sensitivity analyses weighted by propensity scores to account for selective mobility showed consistent results. In the first study of its nature in France, we found an association between neighborhood deprivation and smoking status for those with a low SEP. However, further research with a more representative cohort and a longer follow-up is needed.

description: Making neural networks remember over the long term has been a longstanding issue. Although several external memory techniques have been introduced, most focus on retaining recent information in the short term. Regardless of its importance, information tends to be fatefully forgotten over time. We present Memoria, a memory system for artificial neural networks, drawing inspiration from humans and applying various neuroscientific and psychological theories. The experimental results prove the effectiveness of Memoria in the diverse tasks of sorting, language modeling, and classification, surpassing conventional techniques. Engram analysis reveals that Memoria exhibits the primacy, recency, and temporal contiguity effects which are characteristics of human memory.

description: Abstract – In this paper I consider some important historical phases in the development of Adult Education in Portugal, in the attempt to compare past and present choices in this matter. I conclude that there is not only an evident element of discontinuity in the process of Adult education, but this process is also marked by advances and setbacks, which are closely related both to internal politics and ideology, on the one hand, and to international trends, on the other hand.

Riassunto – In questo lavoro prendo in esame alcune importanti fasi storiche nello sviluppo dell’educazione degli adulti in Portogallo, nel tentativo di confrontare le scelte passate e presenti in questo ambito. Ne concludo che non c'è solo un evidente elemento di discontinuità nel processo di educazione degli adulti, ma che questo processo è anche segnato da progressi e battute d’arresto, che sono strettamente legati sia alla politica interna e all’ideologia, da un lato, sia alle tendenze internazionali, dall’altro.

description: Background: Alcohol-dependent women face a high risk of recurrent suicidal behavior due to psychiatric comorbidities, social stigma, and inadequate mental health support. Objectives: This scoping review examines the prevalence, clinical and socio-cultural risk factors of suicide among alcohol-dependent women and identifies research gaps. Results: A systematic search identified 14 relevant studies. Findings highlight: Psychiatric comorbidities (depression, anxiety, PTSD) significantly increase suicide risk; Social vulnerabilities (stigma, lack of gender-specific care) amplify distress; Alcohol dependence exacerbates psychiatric symptoms, leading to increased suicide attempts; Research gaps include a lack of longitudinal studies and inconsistent methodologies. Conclusions: Targeted, gender-sensitive interventions integrating mental health, addiction treatment, and social support are crucial for suicide prevention. Further research is needed to refine evidence-based strategies for this high-risk group.

description: Prescription tranquilizer misuse poses negative health outcomes including respiratory distress and overdose. Given the higher prevalence of substance use by sexual minority individuals, assessing the prevalence and motives of prescription tranquilizer misuse in this group is a priority. This study examined prescription tranquilizer misuse by sexual identity using a US nationally representative dataset. We used the adult sample from the 2021–2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) (N = 139,524). The outcome was past-month prescription tranquilizer misuse, including benzodiazepines, muscle relaxants, or any other prescription tranquilizer, and the exposure was sexual identity (i.e., heterosexual/straight, gay/lesbian, bisexual). We conducted a binomial logistic regression model, adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, past-month distress level, and other substance use. We calculated reasons for prescription tranquilizer misuse by sexual identity among adults with past-month prescription tranquilizer misuse. Among total adult respondents (13.3% aged 18–25 years, 51.3% female, 12.1% non-Hispanic Black, 17.3% Hispanic), 2.6% identified themselves as gay/lesbian, 5.4% as bisexual, and 0.5% misused prescription tranquilizers in 2022 (representing 1,170,818 US adults). The adjusted model showed that bisexual individuals (vs. heterosexual) were more likely to misuse prescription tranquilizers (aPR = 2.20, 95% CI = 1.41, 3.42). Bisexual individuals who misused prescription tranquilizers did so “for emotions” (48.2%) at a significantly higher prevalence than heterosexual (23.9%) and gay/lesbian individuals (23.8%). We estimated ∼1.1 million US adults misused prescription tranquilizers in 2021–2023 and found that bisexual individuals were more likely to misuse prescription tranquilizers. Bisexual adults frequently reported “for emotions” as a reason for prescription tranquilizer misuse.

description: We address how one can empirically infer properties of quantum states generated by dynamics involving measurements. Our focus is on many-body settings where the number of measurements is extensive, making brute-force approaches based on postselection intractable due to their exponential sample complexity. We introduce a general-purpose scheme that can be used to infer any property of the post-measurement ensemble of states (e.g. the average entanglement entropy, or frame potential) using a scalable number of experimental repetitions. We first identify a general class of estimable properties that can be directly extracted from experimental data. Then, based on empirical observations of such quantities, we show how one can indirectly infer information about any particular given non-estimable quantity of interest through classical post-processing. Our approach is based on an optimization task, where one asks what are the minimum and maximum values that the desired quantity could possibly take, while ensuring consistency with observations. The true value of this quantity must then lie within a feasible range between these extrema, resulting in two-sided bounds. Narrow feasible ranges can be obtained by using a classical simulation of the device to determine which estimable properties one should measure. Even in cases where this simulation is inaccurate, unambiguous information about the true value of a given quantity realised on the quantum device can be learned. As an immediate application, we show that our method can be used to verify the emergence of quantum state designs in experiments. We identify some fundamental obstructions that in some cases prevent sharp knowledge of a given quantity from being inferred, and discuss what can be learned in cases where classical simulation is too computationally demanding to be feasible.

description: Over the past decade, historians have situated feminist reformers’ efforts to dismantle the British imperial contagious diseases apparatus at the heart of the transnational turn in women's history. New Zealand was an early emulator of British prostitution regulations, which provoked an organised repeal campaign in the 1880s, yet the colony is seldom considered in these debates. Tracing the dialogue concerning the repeal of contagious diseases legislation between British and New Zealand feminists in the 1890s, this article reaffirms the salience of political developments in the settler colonies for metropolitan reformers. A close reading of these interactions, catalysed by the Auckland Women's Liberal League's endorsement of the Act in 1895, reveals recently enfranchised New Zealand women's desire to act as model citizens for the benefit of metropolitan suffragists. Furthermore, it highlights the asymmetries that remained characteristic of the relationship between British feminists and their enfranchised Antipodean counterparts.

description: A ubiquitous problem in quantum physics is to understand the ground-state properties of many-body systems. Confronted with the fact that exact diagonalisation quickly becomes impossible when increasing the system size, variational approaches are typically employed as a scalable alternative: energy is minimised over a subset of all possible states and then different physical quantities are computed over the solution state. Despite remarkable success, rigorously speaking, all what variational methods offer are upper bounds on the ground-state energy. On the other hand, so-called relaxations of the ground-state problem based on semidefinite programming represent a complementary approach, providing lower bounds to the ground-state energy. However, in their current implementation, neither variational nor relaxation methods offer provable bound on other observables in the ground state beyond the energy. In this work, we show that the combination of the two classes of approaches can be used to derive certifiable bounds on the value of any observable in the ground state, such as correlation functions of arbitrary order, structure factors, or order parameters. We illustrate the power of this approach in paradigmatic examples of 1D and 2D spin-one-half Heisenberg models. To improve the scalability of the method, we exploit the symmetries and sparsity of the considered systems to reach sizes of hundreds of particles at much higher precision than previous works. Our analysis therefore shows how to obtain certifiable bounds on many-body ground-state properties beyond energy in a scalable way.

description: The reaction of L-ascorbic acid with the dichloroacetic acid in the presence of potassium hydroxide gave new product 3,4,6,7-O,O,O,O-tetrakis(carboxy(chloro)methyl)-L-ascorbic acid (H4L), which was isolated and characterized by 1H,13C-NMR, elemental analysis (CHN), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UV-visible and Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) methods. The complexes of the ligand (H4L) with metal ions, M+2= (Cu, Co, Ni, Cd and Hg) were synthesized and characterized by FTIR, UV-Visible, molar conductance, atomic absorption, magnetic susceptibility, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and molar ratio  methods. The analysis showed the evidence of binding of the metal ions with (H4L) through the bidendate carboxylato group manner resulting in six-coordinated metal ion.

description: Impulsivity is associated with excessive drinking and negative alcohol-related consequences. However, studies have not used an in-vivo approach (i.e., daily diary) to examine how the effect of impulsivity on excessive alcohol use could be moderated by context-specific mechanisms, such as incentives. The study recruited a sample of young adults (n = 102, 61.8% females), who, for two weeks, responded to questions about their total number of drinks and the incentives (alcohol incentives and social/party incentives) that influenced their decisions to drink. At baseline, participants completed a questionnaire assessing trait impulsivity. The findings indicated a significant main effect of social/party incentives and alcohol incentives on the total number of drinks consumed, such that individuals decided to drink more alcohol on days when they reported higher levels of either incentive dimension. The results also revealed that only social/party incentives interacted with impulsivity, such that highly impulsive individuals decided to drink more at events with more social/party incentives. Findings highlight that highly impulsive individuals appear to be more responsive to social/party incentives at drinking events. Future research could benefit from continued exploration of social rewards as potential precursors to heavy drinking in highly impulsive individuals.
LONG TERM STUDY OF FULLERENE C60 RADICAL CATION BY ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE (ESR)

description: The dissolution of fullerene C60 in oleum (fuming sulphuric acid 20% free SO3) was followed simultaneously with ESR (Electron Spin Resonance) and NIR (Near Infrared  Spectroscopy). It is shown that the intensity of the ESR signal associated to the formation of C60 radical cation (C60+• ) follows the same kinetics of the NIR absoption band at about 938 nm. Thus, the band at about 938 nm represents the optical counterpart of the ESR signal of C60+• . After the formation of C60+•, the evolution of the ESR spectrum and its optical counterpart in the NIR suggests the formation of other fullerene oxidation products. These products were recovered from the oleum solution and analyzed with FTIR and found to be fullerol (hydroxylated derivative of fullerene). The work-up led to the desulfonation of the substrate. The ESR signal of C60 in oleum was followed for two weeks. Even after so long time, the ESR signal appeared strong and clear although under slow decay. Thus, the oxidation species of C60+• (polycations, dimers and oligomers of C60, sultonated and sulfated derivatives) are persistent radicals in oleum.

description: With increasing popularity of vaping, the study assessed the perceptions of adults who used cannabis/marijuana about general and oral health benefits and harms of vaping compared to smoking cannabis. An online cross-sectional survey was conducted with a convenience sample of adults (n = 324) who had used cannabis in the past month recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Survey items included perceptions of general and oral health benefits and harms of vaping or smoking cannabis/marijuana. Descriptive, correlation, and non-parametric analysis were used. The survey completion rate was 93.2% (n = 302). The most important health benefit reported for vaping cannabis/marijuana was better pain management (72.5%). The most important harm identified for both smoking and vaping cannabis was it being habit forming. Researching the health benefits and harms of cannabis was associated with being more likely to report a higher risk for cardiovascular disease (Phi effect size = 0.141) and cavities (tooth decay; Phi effect size = 0.15). Women preferred vaping to improve mood (p = 0.016) and younger age was associated with preference for vaping to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression (p = 0.03). The findings expanded knowledge on perceptions of benefit and harm to general health with new information related to oral health. There were few significant differences in perceptions of benefits and harm from vaping as compared to smoking cannabis. However, findings highlight the importance of an interprofessional collaboration to provide evidence-based information about the potential general and oral health impact of smoking or vaping cannabis.

description: The energy extraction from quantum sources is a key task to develop new quantum devices such as quantum batteries (QB). In this context, one of the main figures of merit is the ergotropy, which measures the maximal amount of energy (as work) that can be extracted from the quantum source by means of unitary operations. One of the main issues to fully extract energy from the quantum source is the assumption that any unitary operation can be done on the system. This assumption, in general, fails in practice since the operations that can be done are limited and depend on the quantum hardware (experimental platform) one has available. In this work, we propose an approach to optimize the extractable energy inspired by the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm. In this approach, we explicitly take into account a limited set of unitaries by using the hardware efficient asatz (HEA) class of parameterized quantum circuits. As a QB we use an one-dimensional spin chain described by a family of paradigmatic first neighbor Hamiltonians such as the $XXX$,$XXZ$, $XYZ$, $XX$, $XY$ and transverse Ising models. By building our parameterized quantum circuits assuming that different types of connectivity may be available depending on the quantum hardware, we numerically compare the efficiency of work extraction for each model. Our results show that the best efficiency is generally obtained with quantum circuits that have connectivity between first neighbor spins.

description: Data flow subsequence matching is crucial in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) due to the growing demand for efficient data handling. Traditional methods face limitations in accurately and rapidly matching data subsequences, especially under the complexities introduced by non-linear patterns. This paper proposes a machine learning-based algorithm designed for high-accuracy data flow subsequence matching in SDN. The algorithm utilizes feature extraction and transformation for each subsequence and applies similarity measurement techniques to improve matching precision. Furthermore, it enhances a neural network structure by converting a simple neural network into a modular network, improving convergence and performance. Experimental analysis demonstrates that the proposed algorithm achieves shorter feature transformation times, high accuracy in similarity measurement, and improved matching rates across diverse datasets, surpassing traditional methods. This solution provides a reliable approach to optimizing data flow management in SDN.

description: Accurately measuring the translations of objects between images is essential in many fields, including biology, medicine, chemistry, and physics. One important application is tracking one or more particles by measuring their apparent displacements in a series of images. Popular methods, such as the center-of-mass, often require idealized scenarios to reach the shot-noise limit of particle tracking and are, therefore, not generally applicable to multiple image types. More general methods, like maximum likelihood estimation, reliably approach the shot-noise limit, but are too computationally intense for use in real-time applications. These limitations are significant, as real-time, shot-noise-limited particle tracking is of paramount importance for feedback control systems. To fill this gap, we introduce a new cross-correlation-based algorithm that approaches shot-noise-limited displacement detection and a GPU-based implementation for real-time image analysis of a single particle.

description:  Green infrastructure is one of the commonly adopted strategies by leading cities in the  United States primarily for reducing the urban runoff and providing social and ecological  benefits to the community. Despite being promoted for their multifunctionality, Green  infrastructure strategies are typically implemented based on their economic benefits and  stormwater abatement. (Newell, 2013) (Kremer P. H., 2016) Hence, there is a need to  develop a framework to integrate the social and ecological benefits of green  infrastructure in the planning process.  
This research document demonstrates a scenario-based workflow to implement Green  Infrastructure strategies in the Uptown neighborhood in the city of Pittsburgh. The GIS based assessment aims to identify the key equity indicators based on the environmental,  urban and social attributes specific to the city and the neighborhood and implement  strategies for maximizing the multifunctional benefits of Green Infrastructure. The  workflow further identifies opportunities to engage stakeholders and property owners in  the planning process. The assessment of sites, stakeholder opinions, and green  infrastructure technologies are then combined to identify the synergies and trade-offs  between them.   
As a tool to prioritize or invest in green infrastructure, this document provides a unified  framework and strategies to support the decision-making process. Green infrastructure  implemented using this methodology can allow a data-informed and stakeholder informed planning process and can enhance socio-environmental equity at a  neighborhood scale.
