The principal Objective of the project was to uncover, understand, and exploit persistent currents in 2D Dirac material systems and pertinent phenomena in the emerging field of relativistic quantum nonlinear dynamics and chaos. Systematic theories and methods were developed to analyze and characterize persistent currents in these systems and their unusual physical properties. The main accomplis...

For an electron gas with δ-function attraction we investigate the crossover from weakto strong-coupling supercoductivity in two and three dimensions. We derive analytic expressions for the stiffness of phase fluctuations and set up effective XY-models which serve to determine nonperturbatively the temperature of phase decoherence where superconductivity breaks down. We find the transition tempe...

The poor prognosis of patients with trisomy 13 has long been accepted and has been ascribed to brain and heart malformations. It has been suggested, however, that the long term survival is better than was previously thought and that cardiac surgery may be justified. This population based study reviews the incidence, antenatal diagnosis, spectrum of survival from congenital heart disease, and mo...

Configurable computing has recently gained much attention with the promise of delivering an order of magnitude performance improvement over general purpose processors. In this paper we contrast the abstract models of reconfigurable architectures and actual hardware available for configurable computing systems. There is a wealth of ideas related to abstract models of reconfigurable architectures...

Emission allowances are often distributed for free in an early phase of a cap-and-trade scheme (grandfathering) to reduce adverse effects on the profitability of firms. If the grandfathering scheme is phased out over time, firms may nevertheless relocate to countries with a lower carbon price once the competitive disadvantage of their home industry becomes sufficiently high. We show that this i...

Abstract Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with profound biopsychosocial changes for children, potentially affecting their health and wellbeing. Among these are altered sleep patterns screen time use, however, no work examined interactions between two behaviors in the context of pandemic. Here, we used longitudinal data from Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Stu...

This project conducted basic research aimed at creating software systems that can collaborate naturally with people over extended periods of time. This involved investigating how to make a habitable combination of natural language and sketch understanding that supports interactive learning of complex domains, including giving advice, learning by reading, and learning by demonstration. We develo...
