description: We use the quantum kinematic approach to revisit geometric phases associated with polarizing processes of a monochromatic light wave. We give the expressions of geometric phases for any, unitary or non-unitary, cyclic or non-cyclic transformations of the light wave state. Contrarily to the usually considered case of absorbing polarizers, we found that a light wave passing through a polarizer may acquire in general a non zero geometric phase. This geometric phase exists despite the fact that initial and final polarization states are in phase according to the Pancharatnam criterion and can not be measured using interferometric superposition. Consequently, there is a difference between the Pancharatnam phase and the complete geometric phase acquired by a light wave passing through a polarizer. We illustrate our work with the particular example of total reflection based polarizers.

description: We present a model in which we investigate the structure and evolution of a random network that connects agents capable of exchanging wealth. Economic interactions between neighbors can occur only if the difference between their wealth is less than a threshold value that defines the width of the economic classes. If the interchange of wealth cannot be done, agents are reconnected with another randomly selected agent, allowing the network to evolve in time. On each interaction there is a probability of favoring the poorer agent, simulating the action of the government. We measure the Gini index, having real world values attached to reality. Besides the network structure showed a very close connection with the economic dynamic of the system.

description: Graphane and graphene are both two-dimensional materials but of different bonding configurations, which can result in distinct thermal conduction properties. We simulate thermal conduction in graphane nanoribbons (GANRs) using the nonequilibrium Green's function method. It is found that GANRs have lower ballistic thermal conductance and stronger thermal conductance anisotropy than the graphene counterparts. Furthermore, hydrogen vacancies of GANRs considerably suppress thermal conduction, accompanied by enhanced thermal conductance anisotropy. The tunable thermal conduction, realized by controlling the width, edge shape and hydrogen vacancy concentration of GANRs, could be useful for thermal management and thermoelectric applications.

description: We introduce a modification of the standard entanglement swapping protocol where the generation of entanglement between two distant modes is realized and verified using only local optical measurements. We show, indeed, that a simple condition on the purity of the initial state involving also an ancillary mode is sufficient to guarantee the success of the protocol by local measurements {M. Abdi \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{109}, 143601 (2012)}]. We apply the proposed protocol to a tripartite optomechanical system where the never interacting mechanical modes become entangled and certified using only local optical measurements.

description: Recent success in the growth of monolayer MoS$_2$ via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has opened up prospects for the implementation of these materials into thin film electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here, we investigate the electronic transport properties of individual crystallites of high quality CVD-grown monolayer MoS$_2$. The devices show low temperature mobilities up to 500 cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ and a clear signature of metallic conduction at high doping densities. These characteristics are comparable to the electronic properties of the best mechanically exfoliated monolayers in literature, verifying the high electronic quality of the CVD-grown materials. We analyze the different scattering mechanisms and show, that the short-range scattering plays a dominant role in the highly conducting regime at low temperatures. Additionally, the influence of phonons as a limiting factor of these devices is discussed.

description: Fluorescent tubes, a continuous source of UVA radiation, are increasingly being replaced by ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs or UVEDs), which emit an almost discrete spectrum (5 nm bandwidth). This creates both problems and opportunities from a photocatalytic point of view. In this paper, we report the influence of UVED radiation on the performance of an industrially produced TiO2 photocatalytic coating by measuring the degradation of nitrogen oxide (NO) and toluene (C6H5CH3) from a test atmosphere in a laboratory test setup. The influence of four commercially available UVED types (365 nm, 385 nm, 395 nm, and 415 nm) on the performance of a commonly used photocatalyst was compared. In a subsequent investigation, we switched from continuous to pulse-modulated LED operation and investigated its influence on the photocatalytic activity of the assembly. We could show that UVEDs are suitable replacements for fluorescent lamps when carefully chosen to the absorption spectrum of the used photocatalyst. In addition, the pulse width and pulse frequency modulation of the LED current show non-linear correlations with the resulting photocatalytic activity. The activity remains unexpectedly high with short pulse widths and low frequencies. By adjusting the control of the UVEDs accordingly, much energy can thus be saved during operation without reducing the catalytic activity.

description: Novel interplay of spin-orbit coupling and electron correlations in complex Ir oxides recently emerged as a new paradigm for correlated electron physics. Because of a large spin-orbit coupling of ~0.5 eV, which is comparable to the transfer energy t and the crystal field splitting $Δ$ and Coulomb U, a variety of ground states including magnetic insulator, band insulator, semimetal and metal, shows up in a narrow materials phase space. Utilizing such subtle competition of the ground states, we successfully tailor a spin-orbital magnetic insulator out of a semimetal SrIrO$_3$ by controlling dimensionality using superlattice of [(SrIrO$_3$)$_m$, SrTiO$_3$] and show that a magnetic ordering triggers the transition to magnetic insulator. Those results can be described well by a first-principles calculation. This study is an important step towards the design and the realization of topological phases in complex Ir oxides with very strong spin-orbit coupling.
Valorization of Proso Millet and Spent Grain for Extruded Snack Development
Creators: name: Woomer, Joseph
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Abstract:
Fast-paced lifestyles result in consumers replacing traditional meals with on-the-go snack foods. In general, snacks are higher in saturated fats and simple sugars, and pose health concerns for consumers, which prompts the need for healthy nutritious alternatives to common snacks. Proso millet is a nutritious, and fast growing gluten free cereal. Spent grain (SG), the main by-product of brewing and distilling, contains high amount of protein and insoluble fibers. This study utilized proso millet and spent grain in the production of an extruded expanded snack, demonstrating their appropriateness as an ingredient in food production.
The first objective of this study was to determine the effect of extrusion processing conditions (moisture, barrel temperature, screw speed) on the physical, chemical, and functional properties of proso millet based extruded snack. The second objective of this research was to determine the effect of distiller’s spent grain (DSG) addition level and particle size on physicochemical and functional properties of extruded snacks. The third objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of spent grain type and particle size on the physicochemical and functional properties of extruded snacks. Samples were produced using a co-rotating twin-screw 25:1 L/D laboratory scale extruder.

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: Face recognition in real-time scenarios is mainly affected by illumination, expression and pose variations and also by occlusion. This paper presents the framework for pose adaptive component-based face recognition system. The framework proposed deals with all the above mentioned issues. The steps involved in the presented framework are (i) facial landmark localisation, (ii) facial component extraction, (iii) pre-processing of facial image (iv) facial pose estimation (v) feature extraction using Local Binary Pattern Histograms of each component followed by (vi) fusion of pose adaptive classification of components. By employing pose adaptive classification, the recognition process is carried out on some part of database, based on estimated pose, instead of applying the recognition process on the whole database. Pre-processing techniques employed to overcome the problems due to illumination variation are also discussed in this paper. Component-based techniques provide better recognition rates when face images are occluded compared to the holistic methods. Our method is simple, feasible and provides better results when compared to other holistic methods.

description: We report on an experimental technique to quantify the relative importance of electric and magnetic dipole luminescence from a single nanosource in structured environments. By attaching a $Eu^{3+}$-doped nanocrystal to a near-field scanning optical microscope tip, we map the branching ratios associated to two electric dipole and one magnetic dipole transitions in three dimensions on a gold stripe. The relative weight of the electric and magnetic radiative local density of states can be recovered quantitatively, based on a multilevel model. This paves the way towards the full electric and magnetic characterization of nanostructures for the control of luminescence at the single emitter level.

The Feasibility of Using Computational Electromagnetic Modelling for the Study of Backscatter from Marine Ice

description: Current marine navigation radars are capable of high-resolution imagery of marine ice but are not able to classify the marine ice. Classifying marine ice means identifying the ice as first-year ice, multi-year ice or glacier ice. The latter two ice types are as hard as concrete and capable of damaging even ice hardened vessels such as icebreakers. The Canadian Coast Guard has identified the ability of marine navigation radars to classify marine ice as the single greatest improvement to be made in the safety of Arctic navigation. This thesis presents new research that improves our understanding of electromagnetic backscatter from marine ice. The goal of this work was two-fold: to demonstrate the feasibility of using commercial computational electromagnetic modelling software to simulate real-world marine ice targets, and to identify an optimum frequency or range of frequencies at which the marine ice targets can be definitively classified. Engineering models for scattering from electrically large objects made of a highly variable, complex, heterogenous, three-phase mixture of ice, air and brine are developed. To do so, an extensive literature review of the Arctic environment, and the physical and electrical properties of marine ice, is conducted to distill the required geophysical parameters of the three marine ice types of interest in this work. Using well-established dielectric mixing theory, these parameters are applied to homogenize the marine ice and model the target (in the presence of a flat sea halfspace) using a surface integral equation formulation. To reduce the computational resources required to numerically solve the integral equation models using the method of moments, computational electromagnetic modelling studies are conducted to select a suitable seawater halfspace representation and determine if the properties of larger objects can be inferred from scaled down models of the object. A case study is presented for backscatter from marine ice from 6 to 10 GHz, which explores the effects of frequency on the co- and cross-polarized backscatter intensity (and hence the apparent radar cross-section) of the three marine ice types of interest. Good agreement is found between the co- and cross-polarized backscatter intensity responses found from the engineering model computations and some existing experimental data from real-world marine ice targets. This work: (a) proves the feasibility of using computational electromagnetic modelling to simulate real-world marine ice targets, providing a new, cost-effective method for the study of backscatter from marine ice; (b) confirms the viability of using cross-polarization as a method of classification; and (c) identifies 10 to 16 GHz as a potential optimal frequency range for the classification of marine ice using dual-polarization radar.

description: INTRODUCTION: The informal social ties that health workers form with their colleagues influence knowledge, skills and individual and group behaviours and norms in the workplace. However, improved understanding of these 'software' aspects of the workforce (eg, relationships, norms, power) have been neglected in health systems research. In Kenya, neonatal mortality has lagged despite reductions in other age groups under 5 years. A rich understanding of workforce social ties is likely to be valuable to inform behavioural change initiatives seeking to improve quality of neonatal healthcare.This study aims to better understand the relational components among health workers in Kenyan neonatal care areas, and how such understanding might inform the design and implementation of quality improvement interventions targeting health workers' behaviours. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will collect data in two phases. In phase 1, we will conduct non-participant observation of hospital staff during patient care and hospital meetings, a social network questionnaire with staff, in-depth interviews, key informant interviews and focus group discussions at two large public hospitals in Kenya. Data will be collected purposively and analysed using realist evaluation, interim analyses including thematic analysis of qualitative data and quantitative analysis of social network metrics. In phase 2, a stakeholder workshop will be held to discuss and refine phase one findings.Study findings will help refine an evolving programme theory with recommendations used to develop theory-informed interventions targeted at enhancing quality improvement efforts in Kenyan hospitals. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study has been approved by Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI/SERU/CGMR-C/241/4374) and Oxford Tropical Research Ethics Committee (OxTREC 519-22). Research findings will be shared with the sites, and disseminated in seminars, conferences and published in open-access scientific journals.

description: The interaction between electrons and plasmons in trilayer graphene is investigated within the Overhauser approach resulting in the 'plasmaron' quasi-particle. This interaction is cast into a field theoretical problem, nd its effect on the energy spectrum is calculated using improved Wigner-Brillouin perturbation theory. The plasmaron spectrum is shifted with respect to the bare electron spectrum by $ΔE(\mathbf{k})\sim 50\div200\,{\rm meV}$ for ABC stacked trilayer graphene and for ABA trilayer graphene by $ΔE(\mathbf{k})\sim 30\div150\,{\rm meV}$ ($ΔE(\mathbf{k})\sim 1\div5\,{\rm meV}$) for the hyperbolic linear) part of the spectrum. The shift in general increases with the electron concentration $n_{e}$ and electron momentum. The dispersion of plasmarons is more pronounced in \textit{ABC} stacked than in ABA tacked trilayer graphene, because of the different energy band structure and their different plasmon dispersion.

Στην παρούσα εργασία έγινε καταγραφή των καλλιεργητικών πρακτικών που εφαρμόζονται στους αμπελώνες, όπως και των φυσικών και βιοχημικών μηχανισμών που απελευθερώνουν αέρια (κυρίως CO2, N2O, CH4) στην ατμόσφαιρα. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάζονται βιβλιογραφικές μελέτες που αφορούν σε πρακτικές διαχείρισης αμπελώνων προκειμένου να μειωθούν οι εκπομπές αερίων στην ατμόσφαιρα.

description: The weighted and directed network of countries based on the number of overseas banks is analyzed in terms of its fragility to the banking crisis of one country. We use two different models to describe transmission of shocks, one local and the other global. Depending on the original source of the crisis, the overall size of crisis impacts is found to differ country by country. For the two-step local spreading model, it is revealed that the scale of the first impact is determined by the out-strength, the total number of overseas branches of the country at the origin of the crisis, while the second impact becomes more serious if the in-strength at the origin is increased. For the global spreading model, some countries named "triggers" are found to play important roles in shock transmission, and the importance of the feed-forward-loop mechanism is pointed out. We also discuss practical policy implications of the present work.

description: OBJECTIVE: To update the epidemiology of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) in a defined geographical area of southern Sweden. METHODS: The study area comprised 14 municipalities with a combined adult population (≥18 years) of 623 872 in 2019. All cases diagnosed with AAV in 1997-2019 in the study area were included in the estimate of incidence. Diagnosis of AAV was verified by case record review, and cases were classified using the European Medicines Agency algorithm. Point prevalence was estimated on 01 January 2020. RESULTS: Three hundred and seventy-four patients (median age 67.5 years, 47% female) were diagnosed with new-onset AAV during the study period. One hundred and ninety-two were classified as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), 159 as microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and 23 as EGPA. The average annual incidence/million adults was 30.1 (95% CI 27.0 to 33.1) for AAV: 15.4 (95% CI 13.3 to 17.6) for GPA, 12.8 (95% CI 10.8 to 14.8) for MPA and 1.8 (95% CI 1.1 to 2.6) for eosinophilic GPA (EGPA). Incidence was stable during the study period, 30.3/million 1997-2003, 30.4/million 2004-2011 and 29.5/million 2012-2019. The incidence increased with age and was highest in age group 70-84 years (96/million adults). On 1 January 2020, the prevalence was 428/million adults and was higher in males than in females (480 vs 378/million). CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of AAV in southern Sweden was found stable over the course of 23 years; while the prevalence has increased, which might indicate better management and treatment of AAV resulting in improved survival.

description: We have measured the threshold for creating long-lived excitations when a toroidal Bose-Einstein condensate is stirred by a rotating (optical) barrier of variable height. When the barrier height is on the order of or greater than half of the chemical potential, the critical barrier velocity at which we observe a change in the circulation state is much less than the speed for sound to propagate around the ring. In this regime we primarily observe discrete jumps (phase slips) from the non-circulating initial state to a simple, well-defined, persistent current state. For lower barrier heights, the critical barrier velocity at which we observe a change in the circulation state is higher, and approaches the effective sound speed for vanishing barrier height. The response of the condensate in this small-barrier regime is more complex, with vortex cores appearing in the bulk of the condensate. We find that the variation of the excitation threshold with barrier height is in qualitative agreement with the predictions of an effective 1D hydrodynamic model.

description: Ο βασικός στόχος της εργασίας αυτής είναι η αναγνώριση των συστατικών των γιγάρτων του σταφυλιού προκειμένου να αξιοποιηθούν από τις βιομηχανίες παραγωγής προϊόντων όσον το δυνατόν περισσότερο. Περιγράφεται η πορεία του φυτού της αμπέλου σημειώνοντας την ιστορία που έχει με το πέρασμα των αιώνων. Πολύτιμο φυτό από την αρχαιότητα μέχρι την σύγχρονη εποχή, η άμπελος και τα προϊόντα της υπήρξαν είδος ανταλλαγής ως υποκατάστατο των χρημάτων στο εμπόριο των αρχαίων και όχι μόνο χρόνων, ενώ παραμένει βασικό αγαθό ακόμα και για θρησκευτικά μυστήρια. Οι χημικές ενώσεις που υπάρχουν στα γίγαρτα ως κύρια συστατικά θεωρούνται ιδανικές πρώτες ύλες για την παραγωγή προϊόντων. Οι ευεργετικές και χρήσιμες ιδιότητες τους φαίνεται πως τα καθιστά ένα υλικό με τεράστια αξία όσον αφορά την βιοδραστικότητά του. Βιομηχανίες καλλυντικών, φαρμακευτικών σκευασμάτων καθώς και τροφίμων μπορούν να επωφεληθούν από αυτά παρασκευάζοντας προϊόντα από φυσικά υλικά έναντι τεχνητών, ώστε να συνδράμουν σε έναν πιο βιώσιμο τρόπο παραγωγής. Τα ήδη υπάρχοντα προϊόντα που φέρουν τα πολύτιμα συστατικά του γιγάρτου αναφέρονται με σκοπό την προβολή τους και την ενθάρρυνση για νέες δημιουργίες από ακόμα περισσότερους παραγωγούς παρόμοιων προϊόντων. Γίνεται αναφορά σε εναλλακτικοί τρόπους αξιοποίησης τους σε άλλες κατηγορίες προϊόντων επιδεικνύοντας πως αυτό το υποπροϊόν της οινοποίησης έχει δυνητικά πολλαπλές χρήσεις. Ύστερα από τα στοιχεία αυτά αποδεικνύεται πως η αξιοποίηση των γιγάρτων του σταφυλιού έχει οφέλη και για τον άνθρωπο όσον αφορά την υγεία του, τον εξωτερικό καλλωπισμό του καθώς και τα είδη τροφίμων που καταναλώνει καθώς και την οικονομία αφού εξοικονομούνται χρήματα από την μέχρι τώρα παραγωγή τεχνιτών πρώτων υλών. Μεγάλη σημασία έχει επίσης το γεγονός πως η εκμετάλλευση των κουκουτσιών θα μειώσει τις ποσότητες των αποβλήτων που προκύπτουν από τα οινοποιεία συνεισφέροντας στην προσπάθεια να μετριαστεί η κλιματική κρίση.

description: Thermal relic dark matter particles with a mass of 31-40 GeV and that dominantly annihilate to bottom quarks have been shown to provide an excellent description of the excess gamma rays observed from the center of the Milky Way. Flavored dark matter provides a well-motivated framework in which the dark matter can dominantly couple to bottom quarks in a flavor-safe manner. We propose a phenomenologically viable model of bottom flavored dark matter that can account for the spectral shape and normalization of the gamma-ray excess while naturally suppressing the elastic scattering cross sections probed by direct detection experiments. This model will be definitively tested with increased exposure at LUX and with data from the upcoming high-energy run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
