description: Developing a highly efficient Fenton-like catalyst working in a wide pH range is imperative to accomplish its practical wastewater treatment. Herein, FeS2/FeSxOy catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal-solvothermal vulcanization with thioacetamide as a sulfur source. Characterization results confirmed FeS2/FeSxOy consisted of pyrite, kornelite, and szomolnokite. FeS2/FeSxOy exhibited superior catalytic activity toward H2O2 activation with more than 96% phenol removal within 5 min in pH 3.0 ∼ 8.0 at 30°C. Radical scavenging experiment and EPR analysis revealed both hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide anion radicals (O2·-) anticipated in phenol elimination, but ·OH played a dominant role. The detailed degradation experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculation confirmed the vital role of FeS2 in enhancing phenol abatement. This study not only developed a highly active catalyst for H2O2 activation but also theoretically analyzed the FeS2 function in depth, which provided a guide for designing a highly efficient Fenton-like catalyst.

description: Renormalization schemes and cutoff schemes allow for the introduction of various distinct renormalization scales for distinct couplings. We consider the coupled renormalization group flow of several marginal couplings which depend on just as many renormalization scales. The usual $β$ functions describing the flow with respect to a common global scale are assumed to be given. Within this framework one can always construct a metric and a potential in the space of couplings such that the $β$ functions can be expressed as gradients of the potential. Moreover the potential itself can be derived explicitly from a prepotential which, in turn, determines the metric. Some examples of renormalization group flows are considered, and the metric and the potential are compared to expressions obtained elsewhere.

description: This is the third paper in a series describing a numerical implementation of the conformal Einstein equation. This paper describes a scheme to calculate (three) dimensional data for the conformal field equations from a set of free functions. The actual implementation depends on the topology of the spacetime. We discuss the implementation and exemplary calculations for data leading to spacetimes with one spherical null infinity (asymptotically Minkowski) and for data leading to spacetimes with two toroidal null infinities (asymptotically A3). We also outline the (technical) modifications of the implementation needed to calculate data for spacetimes with two and more spherical null infinities (asymptotically Schwarzschild and asymptotically multiple black holes).

description: Many stars form in regions of enhanced stellar density, wherein the influence of stellar neighbours can have a strong influence on a protoplanetary disc (PPD) population. In particular, far ultraviolet (FUV) flux from massive stars drives thermal winds from the outer edge of PPDs, accelerating disc destruction. In this work, we present a novel technique for constraining the dynamical history of a star forming environment using PPD properties in a strongly FUV irradiated environment. Applying recent models for FUV induced mass loss rates to the PPD population of Cygnus OB2, we constrain how long ago primordial gas was expelled from the region; $ 0.5$ Myr ago if the Shakura & Sunyaev $α$-viscosity parameter is $α= 10^{-2}$ (corresponding to a viscous timescale of $τ_\mathrm{visc} \approx 0.5$ Myr for a disc of scale radius $40$ au around a $1\, M_\odot$ star). This value of $α$ is effectively an upper limit, since it assumes efficient extinction of FUV photons throughout the embedded phase. With this gas expulsion timescale we are able to produce a full dynamical model that fits kinematic and morphological data as well as disc fractions. We suggest Cygnus OB2 was originally composed of distinct massive clumps or filaments, each with a stellar mass $\sim 10^4 \, M_\odot$. Finally we predict that in regions of efficient FUV induced mass loss, disc mass $M_\mathrm{disc}$ as a function of stellar host mass $m_\mathrm{star}$ follows a power law with $M_\mathrm{disc} \propto m_\mathrm{star}^β$, where $β\gtrsim 2.7$ (depending on disc initial conditions and FUV exposure). This is steeper than observed correlations in regions of moderate FUV flux ($1 < β<1.9$), and offers a promising diagnostic to establish the influence of external photoevaporation in a given region.

description: The non-trivial geometry encoded in the Quantum Mechanical wavefunctions has important consequences for its single-particle as well as many-body dynamics. Yet, our understanding of how the geometry of the single-particle eigenstates are manifest in the characteristics of a many-particle system is still incomplete. Here, we demonstrate how the single-particle Berry curvature modifies the fluxoid quantization of a two dimensional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductor, and discuss the experimental scenarios where this anomalous quantization is expected to be realized.

description: Τα τελευταία χρόνια και κυρίως από τα μέσα της δεκαετίας του 90 και μετά παρατηρείται σε πολλές χώρες μια μεγάλη αύξηση τόσο των οδηγών μοτοσυκλέτας όσο και των ατυχημάτων στις οποίες αυτές εμπλέκονται. Αυτό το φαινόμενο έχει οδηγήσει τους αναλυτές της οδικής ασφάλειας στο να αναπτύξουν κατευθυντήριες οδηγίες και μέτρα τα οποία θα προστατεύουν τους οδηγούς από πιθανά ατυχήματα και θα μειώνουν τις επιπτώσεις τους στους αναβάτες. Πρόσφατες σχετικές έρευνες υποδεικνύουν ότι πρέπει να προσδιοριστεί τόσο το οδηγικό προφίλ όσο και ή χρονική στιγμή κατά την οποία ο μοτοσυκλετιστής μεταβάλλει τη συμπεριφορά του από φυσιολογική σε ακραία και αντίστροφα. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εστιάζει αφενός στον εντοπισμό των μεταβλητών που είναι σημαντικές για τον προσδιορισμό του οδηγικού προφίλ ενός μόνο οδηγού και αφετέρου στον εντοπισμό των στιγμών που αλλάζει η συμπεριφορά του αναβάτη από φυσιολογική σε ακραία. Υπολογίζεται επίσης το πλήθος και η χρονική διάρκεια στις οποίες εμφανίζονται οι μεταβολές αυτές.
description: Recently, and particularly since the mid 90s, a significant increase in the number of Powered-Two-Wheeler (PTW) drivers as well as motorcycle accidents, in which these riders are involved, has been observed in many countries. This phenomenon has shifted traffic safety research to developing guidelines and measures to reduce the number of motorcycle accidents and their consequences. Current relevant research suggests that their driving profile should be identified and the time when a PTW driver changes his/her behavior from regular to irregular and vice versa should be detected. The present thesis focuses on detecting the variables which are significant to determine the PTW driving profile of one driver and on identifying the cut-off point in the riders’ behaviour that distinguishes regular from irregular driving. Differences in PTW diving between inside and outside urban areas as well as daylight and night are also thoroughly analyzed. Finally the number of incidents and their time length are also valuated and discussed.

description: We report transport and magnetic relaxation measurements in the mixed state of strongly underdoped Y_{1-x}Pr_{x}Ba_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7} crystals. A transition from thermally activated flux creep to temperature independent quantum flux creep is observed in both transport and magnetic relaxation at temperatures T * 5 K. Flux transformer measurements indicate that the crossover to quantum creep is preceded by a coupling transition. Based on these observations we argue that below the coupling transition the current is confined within a very narrow layer beneath the current contacts.

description: The equilibrium magnetization for layered superconducting films that experience a nonzero component, $H_{\parallel}$, of magnetic field applied parallel to the layers is computed at temperatures and at perpendicular field components in the vicinity of the decoupling transition. A fermion analogy is exploited for this purpose, whereby it is found that the parallel magnetization shows an anomalous $H_{\parallel}^{-1}$ tail at high fields due to entropic fluctuations of the (parallel) lattice of Josephson vortices. A collective pinning effect is also identified for $c$-axis transport limited by a single planar defect oriented parallel to both $c$ and to the applied magnetic field.

description: Cybercrime investigators face numerous challenges when policing online crimes. Firstly, the methods and processes they use when dealing with traditional crimes do not necessarily apply in the cyber-world. Additionally, cyber criminals are usually technologically-aware and constantly adapting and developing new tools that allow them to stay ahead of law enforcement investigations. In order to provide adequate support for cybercrime investigators, there needs to be a better understanding of the challenges they face at both technical and socio-technical levels. In this paper, we investigate this problem through an analysis of current practices and workflows of investigators. We use interviews with experts from government and private sectors who investigate cybercrimes as our main data gathering process. From an analysis of the collected data, we identify several outstanding challenges faced by investigators. These pertain to practical, technical, and social issues such as systems availability, usability, and in computer-supported collaborative work. Importantly, we use our findings to highlight research areas where user-centric workflows and tools are desirable. We also define a set of recommendations that can aid in providing a better foundation for future research in the field and allow more effective combating of cybercrimes.

description: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a psychological growth camp in the treatment of adolescents at risk of Internet addiction in Taiwan. We designed a psychological growth camp to treat adolescents at risk of Internet addiction. The CIAS (Chen Internet Addiction Scale) was used to assess the severity of Internet addiction at baseline, immediately after the camp, and at 1-month and 2-month follow-up visits. A total of 16 participants were recruited, including 10 at risk of Internet addiction and 6 without the risk of Internet addiction. The results indicated that the participants not in a 2-parent family had significantly higher CIAS scores than those in a 2-parent family (p = .034). The participants at risk of Internet addiction exhibited significant improvements in total CIAS score at the time immediately after the camp (p = .033) and at 1-month (p = .001) and 2-month (p = .003) follow-up visits. Moreover, the incidence of possible Internet addiction was not significantly decreased immediately after the camp (p = .056) but was significantly decreased at 1- and 2-month follow-up visits (p < .05) compared with the baseline level. Otherwise, no significant improvements in total CIAS score or subscales were observed at the follow-up visits (p > .05) for the participants not at risk of Internet addiction. The results indicate that the psychological growth camp without Internet might be effective in treating adolescents with Internet addiction.

description: How robust is the natural genetic code with respect to mistranslation errors? It has long been known that the genetic code is very efficient in limiting the effect of point mutation. A misread codon will commonly code either for the same amino acid or for a similar one in terms of its biochemical properties, so the structure and function of the coded protein remain relatively unaltered. Previous studies have attempted to address this question more quantitatively, namely by statistically estimating the fraction of randomly generated codes that do better than the genetic code regarding its overall robustness. In this paper, we extend these results by investigating the role of amino acid frequencies in the optimality of the genetic code. When measuring the relative fitness of the natural code with respect to a random code, it is indeed natural to assume that a translation error affecting a frequent amino acid is less favorable than that of a rare one, at equal mutation cost. We find that taking the amino acid frequency into account accordingly decreases the fraction of random codes that beat the natural code, making the latter comparatively even more robust. This effect is particularly pronounced when more refined measures of the amino acid substitution cost are used than hydrophobicity. To show this, we devise a new cost function by evaluating with computer experiments the change in folding free energy caused by all possible single-site mutations in a set of known protein structures. With this cost function, we estimate that of the order of one random code out of 100 millions is more fit than the natural code when taking amino acid frequencies into account. The genetic code seems therefore structured so as to minimize the consequences of translation errors on the 3D structure and stability of proteins.

description: Phase fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter play a larger role in the cuprates than in conventional BCS superconductors because of the low superfluid density of a doped insulator. In this paper, we analyze an XY model of classical phase fluctuations in the high temperature superconductors using a low-temperature expansion and Monte Carlo simulations. In agreement with experiment, the value of the superfluid density at temperature T=0 is a quite robust predictor of Tc, and the evolution of the superfluid density with T, including its T-linear behavior at low temperature, is insensitive to microscopic details.

description: We consider a cosmological model in which our Universe is a spherically symmetric bubble wall in 5-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime. We argue that the bubble on which we live will undergo collisions with other similar bubbles and estimate the spectrum of such collisions. The collision rate is found to be independent of the age of our Universe. Collisions with small bubbles provide an experimental signature of this scenario, while collisions with larger bubbles would be catastrophic.

NOTES TAXONOMIQUES
1) Cette espèce est très polymorphe, comme l’avait déjà signalé Planchon (1847). En effet, elle présente de remarquables variations dans la pilosité, la forme et la taille des feuilles, avec des nervures plus ou moins saillantes. Le spécimen type d’ Ouratea parvifolia possède des feuilles entièrement velues, de 3-4 cm de longueur, à base obtuse à légèrement cordée, des nervures secondaires non saillantes et peu visibles.Le spécimen type de Gomphia brachyandra var. ovata se distingue du spécimen type d’ Ouratea parvifolia par des feuilles un peu plus grandes (4,5-5 cm de longueur) à base nettement cordée.Les spécimens-types de Gomphia brachyandra var. elliptica se distinguent principalement par leurs feuilles elliptiques à base atténuée. Le spécimen type d’ Ouratea parvifolia var. glabrescens a des feuilles pileuses seulement sur les principales nervures, les nervures secondaires sont bien saillantes. Il en est de même du spécimen type de Trichouratea gracilis. 2) Parmi toutes les variétés de Gomphia brachyandra décrites par Planchon, la variété intermedia possède suffisamment de caractères bien distincts pour la considérer comme valable. En effet elle possède des feuilles ovales à base obtuse, de 6,5- 11 cm de longueur et pileuses seulement sur la nervure médiane et enfin des inflorescences peu ramifiées de 20-30 cm de longueur, d’où la nomenclature suivante:

description: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a psychological growth camp in the treatment of adolescents at risk of Internet addiction in Taiwan. We designed a psychological growth camp to treat adolescents at risk of Internet addiction. The CIAS (Chen Internet Addiction Scale) was used to assess the severity of Internet addiction at baseline, immediately after the camp, and at 1-month and 2-month follow-up visits. A total of 16 participants were recruited, including 10 at risk of Internet addiction and 6 without the risk of Internet addiction. The results indicated that the participants not in a 2-parent family had significantly higher CIAS scores than those in a 2-parent family (p = .034). The participants at risk of Internet addiction exhibited significant improvements in total CIAS score at the time immediately after the camp (p = .033) and at 1-month (p = .001) and 2-month (p = .003) follow-up visits. Moreover, the incidence of possible Internet addiction was not significantly decreased immediately after the camp (p = .056) but was significantly decreased at 1- and 2-month follow-up visits (p < .05) compared with the baseline level. Otherwise, no significant improvements in total CIAS score or subscales were observed at the follow-up visits (p > .05) for the participants not at risk of Internet addiction. The results indicate that the psychological growth camp without Internet might be effective in treating adolescents with Internet addiction.

description: The mechanism of ablation of solids by intense femtosecond laser pulses is described in an explicit analytical form. It is shown that at high intensities when the ionization of the target material is complete before the end of the pulse, the ablation mechanism is the same for both metals and dielectrics. The physics of this new ablation regime involves ion acceleration in the electrostatic field caused by charge separation created by energetic electrons escaping from the target. The formulae for ablation thresholds and ablation rates for metals and dielectrics, combining the laser and target parameters, are derived and compared to experimental data. The calculated dependence of the ablation thresholds on the pulse duration is in agreement with the experimental data in a femtosecond range, and it is linked to the dependence for nanosecond pulses.

description: Six rare-earth elements (including La, Sm, Pr, Dy, Y, and Nd) were modified on the surface of the CeTi samples for Hg0 oxidation and NO oxidation. The X-CeTi catalysts significantly improved the Hg0 oxidation, NO oxidation, and SO2 tolerance compared with the CeTi catalyst. Moreover, O2 and NO can facilitate the activities significantly. The BET results showed that the specific surface area could be increased by doping of rare-earth elements. In addition, XRD and FT-IR experiments indicated that the rare-earth elements can facilitate the formation of the amorphous structure of CeO2. The XPS curves of Ce 3d and O 1s showed that surface oxygen species and Ce4+/Ce3+ redox couples were responsible for the catalytic performance, confirming that the SO2 tolerance was improved via the electron transfer by Ce4++Dy2+⇌Ce3++Dy3+ reactions. The H2-TPR results suggested that the redox capacity of X-CeTi catalysts was enhanced, which could improve the activities of the catalysts. Moreover, Dy-CeTi had the highest NO and Hg0 oxidation among these rare-earth elements on account of the largest specific surface, more surface-active oxygen and H2-TPR reduction peak integral area. The catalyst can maintain the conversion efficiency of elemental mercury and NO at 67% and 76% even in flue gas containing 800 ppm SO2. Such work supplied new insights into modified Ce-Ti catalysts to simultaneously remove NO and elemental mercury from the flue gas with high efficiencies, which owned a promising prospect in the practical industrial application.

description: Constraint is a fundamental concept in evolutionary theory. Morphology and ecology both are limited by functional, historical, and developmental factors to a subset of the theoretical range species could occupy. Cat-like carnivorans (Feliformia) offer a unique opportunity to investigate phenotypic constraint, as several feliform clades are purported to be limited to generalized ecomorphological roles, while others possessing extremely specialized durophagous (bone-crushing) and sabertooth morphology. We investigated the evolutionary history of feliforms by considering their phylogeny, morphological disparity and rates of evolution. We recover results that show a mosaic pattern exists in the degree of morphological disparity per anatomical region per clade and ecology. Non-hypercarnivores, such as viverrids (civets and genets), Malagasy euplerids and lophocyonids (extinct hypocarnivores) have the greatest dental disparity, while hypercarnivores (felids, nimravids, many hyaenids) have the lowest dental disparity but highest cranial and mandibular disparity (excluding dentition). However, high disparity is not necessarily associated with high rates of evolution, but instead with ecological radiations. We reveal that relationships between specialization and disparity are not as simple as past research has concluded. Instead, morphological disparity results from an anatomical mosaic of evolution, where different ecologies correlate with and likely channel unique patterns/combinations of disparity per anatomical partition.

description: Morphological information was taken from observation and measurment of museum curated fossil and modern skeletal specimens and published datsets from scientifc literature. This was combined with molecular sequence data (nuclear and mitochondrial) for extant and recently extinct taxa downloaded form GenBank. The best partition and evolutionary models for phylogenetic analysis was determined using Stetting Stone analysis for the morphological data, while PartitionFinder 2 for the moecluar data. From these data, a total-evidence Bayesian phylogentic analysis was run in Beast. Rates of evolution and morphological disparity were then calculated from the morphological character dataset in the R Claddis package across a sample of the posterior trees in the phylogentic analysis, as well as the MCC tree.

description: We investigate the properties of two standard energy estimators used in path-integral Monte Carlo simulations. By disentangling the variance of the estimators and their autocorrelation times we analyse the dependence of the performance on the update algorithm and present a detailed comparison of refined update schemes such as multigrid and staging techniques. We show that a proper combination of the two estimators leads to a further reduction of the statistical error of the estimated energy with respect to the better of the two without extra cost.

description: Recent research has shown that each apnea episode results in a significant rise in the beat-to-beat blood pressure and by a drop to the pre-episode levels when patient resumes normal breathing. While the physiological implications of these repetitive and significant oscillations are still unknown, it is of interest to quantify them. Since current array of instruments deployed for polysomnography studies does not include beat-to-beat measurement of blood pressure, but includes oximetry, it is both of clinical interest to estimate the magnitude of BP oscillations from the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal that is readily available from sleep lab oximeters. We have investigated a new method for continuous estimation of systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean (MBP) blood pressure waveforms from PPG. Peaks and troughs of PPG waveform are used as input to a 5th order autoregressive moving average model to construct estimates of SBP, DBP, and MBP waveforms. Since breath hold maneuvers are shown to simulate apnea episodes faithfully, we evaluated the performance of the proposed method in 7 subjects (4 F; 32+-4 yrs., BMI 24.57+-3.87 kg/m2) in supine position doing 5 breath maneuvers with 90s of normal breathing between them. The modeling error ranges were (all units are in mmHg) -0.88+-4.87 to -2.19+-5.73 (SBP); 0.29+-2.39 to -0.97+-3.83 (DBP); and -0.42+-2.64 to -1.17+-3.82 (MBP). The cross validation error ranges were 0.28+-6.45 to -1.74+-6.55 (SBP); 0.09+-3.37 to -0.97+-3.67 (DBP); and 0.33+-4.34 to -0.87+-4.42 (MBP). The level of estimation error in, as measured by the root mean squared of the model residuals, was less than 7 mmHg

description: We all know that understanding family history is important to understanding our place in the world. To help students learn to appreciate plants, this activity will connect family memories to specific plants that were important to them or to their ancestors. This is referred to as “botanical history.” Students will interview family members to identify a specific plant they will use for the remaining nine modules. The plant the students choose is ideally one that holds historical significance to their family (e.g., an apple tree that has provided fruits for many generations, or a houseplant that has been divided or shared on special occasions). The students will then share their stories with the class and compare the plants they have chosen with their classmates.

description: Employing the method of mapping the spin problem onto a particle one, we have derived the particle Hamiltonian for a biaxial spin system with a transverse or longitudinal magnetic field. Using the Hamiltonian and introducing the parameter $p (\equiv (U_{max}-E)/(U_{max}-U_{min}))$ where $U_{max}$ (U_{min}) corresponds to the top (bottom) of the potential and $E$ is the energy of the particle, we have studied the first- or second-order transition around the crossover temperature between thermal and quantum regimes for the escape rate, depending on the anisotropy constant and the external magnetic field. It is shown that the phase boundary separating the first- and second-order transition and its crossover temperature are greatly influenced by the transverse anisotropy constant as well as the transverse or longitudinal magnetic field.
