Multicolored Temperley-Lieb lattice models. The ground state
Using inversion relation, we calculate the ground state energy for the
lattice integrable models, based on a recently obtained baxterization of non
trivial multicolored generalization of Temperley-Lieb algebras. The simplest
vertex and IRF models are analyzed and found to have a mass gap.Comment: 15 pages 2 figure
Applicant perspectives during selection
We provide a comprehensive but critical review of research on applicant reactions to selection procedures published since 2000 (n = 145), when the last major review article on applicant reactions appeared in the Journal of Management. We start by addressing the main criticisms levied against the field to determine whether applicant reactions matter to individuals and employers (“So what?”). This is followed by a consideration of “What’s new?” by conducting a comprehensive and detailed review of applicant reaction research centered upon four areas of growth: expansion of the theoretical lens, incorporation of new technology in the selection arena, internationalization of applicant reactions research, and emerging boundary conditions. Our final section focuses on “Where to next?” and offers an updated and integrated conceptual model of applicant reactions, four key challenges, and eight specific future research questions. Our conclusion is that the field demonstrates stronger research designs, with studies incorporating greater control, broader constructs, and multiple time points. There is also solid evidence that applicant reactions have significant and meaningful effects on attitudes, intentions, and behaviors. At the same time, we identify some remaining gaps in the literature and a number of critical questions that remain to be explored, particularly in light of technological and societal changes
Thermal transport in one-dimensional spin gap systems
We study thermal transport in one dimensional spin systems both in the
presence and absence of impurities. In the absence of disorder, all these spin
systems display a temperature dependent Drude peak in the thermal conductivity.
In gapless systems, the low temperature Drude weight is proportional to
temperature and to the central charge which characterizes the conformal field
theory that describes the system at low energies. On the other hand, the low
temperature Drude weight of spin gap systems shows an activated behavior
modulated by a power law. For temperatures higher than the spin gap, one
recovers the linear T behavior akin to gapless systems. For temperatures larger
than the exchange coupling, the Drude weight decays as 1/T^2. We argue that
this behavior is a generic feature of quasi one dimensional spin gap systems
with a relativistic-like low energy dispersion. We also consider the effect of
a magnetic field on the Drude weight with emphasis on the
commensurate-incommensurate transition induced by it. We then study the effect
of nonmagnetic impurities on the thermal conductivity of the dimerized XY chain
and the spin-1/2 two leg ladder. Impurities destroy the Drude peak and the
thermal conductivity exhibits a purely activated behavior at low temperature,
with an activation gap renormalized by disorder. The relevance of these results
for experiments is briefly discussed.Comment: 13 pages, 6 eps figures, RevTeX

Elevated levels of antibiotic resistance in groundwater during treated wastewater irrigation associated with infiltration and accumulation of antibiotic residues
Treated wastewater irrigation (TWW) releases antibiotics and antibiotic
resistance genes (ARGs) into the environment and might thus promote the
dissemination of antibiotic resistance in groundwater (GW). We
hypothesized that TWW irrigation increases ARG abundance in GW through
two potential mechanisms: the contamination of GW with resistant
bacteria and the accumulation of antibiotics in GW. To test this, the GW
below a real-scale TWW-irrigated field was sampled for six months.
Sampling took place before, during and after high-intensity TWW
irrigation. Samples were analysed with 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing,
qPCR of six ARGs and the class 1 integron-integrase gene intI1, while
liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was performed to detect
antibiotic and pharmaceutical residues. Absolute abundance of 16S rRNA
in GW decreased rather than increased during long-term irrigation. Also,
the relative abundance of TWW-related bacteria did not increase in GW
during long-term irrigation. In contrast, long-term TWW irrigation
increased the relative abundance of sul1 and intI1 in the GW microbiome.
Furthermore, GW contained elevated concentrations of sulfonamide
antibiotics, especially sulfamethoxazole, to which sul1 confers
resistance. Total sulfonamide concentrations in GW correlated with sul1
relative abundance. Consequently, TWW irrigation promoted sul1 and intI1
dissemination in the GW microbiome, most likely due to the accumulation
of drug residues
