PouPou Tane Hiira Pou Karanga, Kenneth Street, Duncan, B.C.
This pole consists of two figures: Te Anhio Whio (top figure) and Tane Hiira – the King of the Forest (bottom figure).
"Tane Hiira's tongue tells us he is a great orator of wit, comedy and knowledge. The tongue tells us of a man's status, character and talents. The pendant in the shape of a fish hook is a good luck charm." – carver Te Anhio Whio.
"…Three fingers signifies three baskets of knowledge: etiquette and protocol; creating of Heaven and Earth; spiritual knowledge. The size of his hand and fingers signifies strength." – carver Te Anhio Whio.

\section{Introduction}
In the last few years the use of the notion {\em fidelity} between quantum states to analyze quantum phase transitions (QPTs) has proven to be very fruitful \cite{F 0}-\cite{F 25}. The motivation comes from the fact that a major change in the ground state of a many-body system takes place near a quantum phase transition \cite{QPT}. This statement can be made quantitative by borrowing  concepts  from quantum information, in particular,  distinguishability measures between quantum states \cite{NC}.
The simplest of such measures is provided by the amplitude of the overlap between the two states. The quantum phase transition can be detected by a drop in the fidelity between two ground states corresponding to slightly different values of the parameters defining the system. Moreover, this procedure gives rise to an associated metric tensor $g$ in the parameter space associated with the system Hamiltonian, whose divergences can signal quantum critical points.  This strategy has been successfully applied to many different systems. In particular Refs   \cite{F 14}, \cite{F-china}-\cite{AHZ} deal  with quantum phase transitions involving topological order \cite{Wen}, where a local order parameter does not exist.

One can further generalize this fidelity approach to study how temperature affects the quantum phase transition. This is done by considering the Uhlmann fidelity \cite{Uhl} between Gibbs states corresponding to the many-body quantum system.
In \cite{F 12,Chernoff} it has been shown that different regions in the parameter space, called quasiclassical and quantum critical, can be clearly identified by  the different scaling behaviors of the resulting Bures metric tensor $g$ with temperature.

In this present work we study the effects of temperature on the topological phase transition in the Kitaev honeycomb model \cite{Kitaev}.
We extend the results of \cite{F-china,G-china} to finite temperature by considering the metric tensor in the parameter space that comes from the Uhlmann fidelity between nearby Gibbs states. We find indeed that different regions in the parameter space can be identified according to different scalings in temperature of the metric elements, and moreover, we point out that the crossover behavior near the critical point can be identified by considering a ratio of metric elements.

Let's begin by reviewing  some of the background material supporting the idea
that near a quantum phase transition the degree of distinguishability between mixed states of a many-body Hamiltonian is enhanced. The mixed states $\rho$ we will be interested in depend on a set of parameters, e.g. tunable couplings,
$\{\lambda_{\mu}\}$ that defines the hamiltonian of the system.
The problem of distinguishing nearby quantum states can then be recast into a problem of estimating the value of the parameters $\{\lambda_{\mu}\}$ \cite{BC}. The estimation is made from the probability distribution of the possible results of measurements performed on the many-body states $\rho(\{\lambda_{\mu}\})$. To be concrete, let's assume that generalized measurements $\{E(\epsilon_i)\}$ are performed on the states $\rho(\{\lambda_{\mu}\})$, with possible results $\{\epsilon_i\}$. This gives rise to the probability distribution $p(\epsilon_i|\{\lambda_{\mu}\})=\mathrm{Tr}(E(\epsilon_i)\rho(\{\lambda_{\mu})\})$ for $\epsilon_i$, given the parameter $\{\lambda_{\mu}\}$.

A natural distance, called Fisher-Rao distance, can be introduced in this probability space and is given by
\begin{equation}
ds^2 = \frac{1}{4}\sum_i \frac{dp_i dp_i}{p_i},\label{W}
\end{equation}

\noindent which induces a metric $g_{\mu\nu}$ onto the parameter space $\{\lambda_{\mu}\}$ given by
\begin{equation}
g_{\mu\nu} = \frac{1}{4}\sum_i\frac{1}{p(\epsilon_i|\lambda_{\mu})}\big(\frac{\partial p(\epsilon_i|\lambda_{\mu})}{\partial \lambda_{\mu}}\big)\big(\frac{\partial p(\epsilon_i|\lambda_{\nu})}{\partial \lambda_{\nu}}\big).
\end{equation}

The Bures distance between two density matrices $\rho$ and $\rho +d\rho$ is the natural distinguishability measure that arises as the maximization of (\ref{W}) with respect to all the possible generalized measurements
\begin{equation}\label{Buresdistance}
ds^2_{\mathrm{Bures}}(\rho, \rho + d\rho)=\mathrm{max}_{\{E(\epsilon)\}}\sum_{\mu\nu}g_{\mu\nu}d\lambda_{\mu}d\lambda_{\nu}.
\end{equation}

Following Refs \cite{F 12,Chernoff}
this last expression can be expanded in the following way: $ ds^2=\sum_{\mu\nu} g^{c}_{\mu\nu}d\lambda_{\mu}d\lambda_{\nu}+g^{nc}_{\mu\nu}d\lambda_{\mu}d\lambda_{\nu},
$
with the classical and nonclassical metric elements $g^c_{\mu\nu}$ and $g^{nc}_{\mu\nu}$ given by
\begin{eqnarray}
 g^c_{\mu\nu} &=& \frac{1}{4} \sum_{i} \frac{\partial_{\mu}p_{i}\partial_{\nu}p_i}{p_{i}}\nonumber\\
g^{nc}_{\mu\nu}&=&\frac{1}{2} \sum_{i \neq j,\mu} \frac{(p_{i}-p_{j})^2}{p_{i}+p_{j}}|\langle i|\partial_{\mu}|j\rangle||\langle i|\partial_{\nu}|j\rangle|\label{bl},
\end{eqnarray}
where we have used the diagonal basis for $\rho$, i.e. $\rho=\sum_i p_i\ket{i}$, with $p_i$ its eigenvalues, together with the dependence of these states on the set $\{\lambda_{\mu}\}$. We see that the line element separates into a classical and a nonclassical part, the first one depending only on the probability distribution $\{p_i\}$,  while the second one depends on the set of eigenstates $\{\ket{i}\}$ themselves. The classical part is still the Fisher-Rao  distance between nearby probability distributions $p_i$ and $p_i + dp_i$, after the maximization over the generalized measurements is performed \cite{IB}. The expression for these measurement operators is known, and turns out to be a projective measurement associated to the Hermitian observable \cite{FCaves}
\begin{equation}\label{Ob}
M=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\rho}}\sqrt{\sqrt{\rho}(\rho+d\rho)\sqrt{\rho}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{\rho}}.
\end{equation}

Let's consider the expectation value of $M$ for the thermal state $\rho$:
\begin{equation}
\mathrm{Tr}(\rho M)=\mathrm{Tr}\sqrt{\sqrt{\rho}(\rho+d\rho)\sqrt{\rho}}=1-\frac{1}{2}ds^2_{\mathrm{Bures}},
\end{equation}

after expanding this expression in $d\rho$ \cite{BC}. Since the metric elements diverge at the critical point for $T=0$, or have a finite peak for $T\ne 0$, we see that in principle,  by measuring this observable  it would be possible to detect the quantum phase transition and getting an optimal estimation of the Hamiltonian parameters \cite{F 13}. Notice that $M$ depends on the (possibly unknown) state $\rho$;
therefore the experimental realization of this measurement may require iterative strategies \cite{F 13}.
We point out that the divergence of the metric elements across a QPT is a sufficient, but not a necesary condition \cite{F 6}.\\

In the next section we will obtain the explicit form of the Bures  metric elements for the thermal states of the Kitaev honeycomb model.

The Kitaev honeycomb model \cite{Kitaev} is one of the most important examples of a solvable model in two dimensions that exhibits topological phases, with non-abelian anyons. We will study the effects of temperature over its critical lines, by considering the Bures metric for nearby thermal states. We will first briefly review the model and its diagonalization and then compute and analyze the associated Bures metric.

\subsection{The honeycomb model}
The model consists of spins 1/2 placed at the sites of a honeycomb lattice, with nearest neighbor interactions. There are three types of links at each site, called x, y, or z, depending on their direction in the lattice. The Hamiltonian of the model is given by
\begin{equation}
H=-J_x\sum_{x-\mathrm{links}}\sigma^{x}_{j}\sigma^{x}_{k}-J_y\sum_{y-\mathrm{links}}\sigma^{y}_{j}\sigma^{y}_{k}-J_z\sum_{z-\mathrm{links}}\sigma^{z}_{j}\sigma^{z}_{k}\label{Kitaev},
\end{equation}
where the ends of the corresponding links are labeled by $j,k$, and $J_x$, $J_y$ and $J_z$ are the corresponding model parameters. The phase diagram can be separated basically into two regions of the parameter space, given by the following inequalities\begin{equation}
|J_z|\le |J_x| + |J_y|, \; |J_y|\le |J_z| + |J_x|, \; |J_x|\le |J_y|+|J_z|\label{regions},
\end{equation}
with the equal signs signaling the lines of quantum criticality.

The region outside these inequalities is gapped and contains abelian anyons, while the region inside is gapless and gives rise to non-abelian anyons in the presence of a magnetic field.
To diagonalize this model, we replace the spin 1/2  at every site $i$ by four Majorana fermions, by writing each Pauli operator as $\sigma^{a}_{j}=ib^{a}_jc_j$, with $b^a$ and $c$ Majorana fermions, and $a=x, y, z$. These Majorana operators act on a 4-dimensional Fock space. This enlarged space has redundant degrees of freedom which can be projected onto a physical 2-dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal{L}$ suitable for a spin 1/2  by imposing the condition: $\ket{\psi}\in\mathcal{L}\iff D\ket{\psi}=\ket{\psi}$, where $D$ is a projector given by $D=b^xb^yb^zc$. Within this subspace, the Hamiltonian (\ref{Kitaev}) can be written as
\begin{equation}
H=\frac{i}{2}\sum_{j,k}J_{a_{jk}}\hat{u}_{jk}c_jc_k,
\end{equation}
where the index $a_{jk}$ is x, y, or z depending on the direction of the link connecting sites $j$ and $k$, and the operators $\hat{u}_{jk}=ib_j^{a_{jk}}b_k^{a_{jk}}$ are such that $[\hat{u}_{jk},H]=0$, $[\hat{u}_{jk}, \hat{u}_{pq}]=0$ and $\hat{u}^2_{jk}=1$. The entire Hilbert space can be decomposed into eigenspaces of the operators $\hat{u}_{jk}$, indexed by the eigenvalues $u_{jk}=\pm1$. It can be proven that the configuration of the $u_{jk}$ that minimizes the ground state energy is given by the vortex-free configuration, that is, $u_{jk}=1$ for all links $(j,k)$. Given the translational symmetry of this configuration,  one can perform a Fourier transform, obtaining the Hamiltonian in momentum space within a unit cell
\begin{equation}
H=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{\mathbf{p},\lambda,\gamma} iA_{\lambda\gamma}(\mathbf{p})c^{\dagger}_{\lambda}(\mathbf{p})c_{\gamma}(\mathbf{p})\label{H},
\end{equation}
where $\mathbf{p}=(p_x,p_y)$, $c_{\lambda}(\mathbf{p})=\frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}\sum_{\mathbf{r}}e^{-i\mathbf{p}\cdot \mathbf{r}}c_{\lambda}(\mathbf{r})$ and $A(\mathbf{p})$ is a $2\mathrm{x}2$ matrix given by
\begin{equation}
iA(\mathbf{p})=\left(\begin{array}{c c} 0 & if(\mathbf{p}) \\ -i f(\mathbf{p})^* & 0
\end{array}\right),
\end{equation}
with $f(\mathbf{p}) = \epsilon(\mathbf{p}) + i\Delta(\mathbf{p})$, $\epsilon(\mathbf{p})=2(J_x\cos{p_x}+J_y\cos{p_y}+J_z)$ and $\Delta(\mathbf{p})=2(J_x\sin{p_x}+J_y\sin{p_y})$.

In these equations $\mathbf{r}$ is the position of the unit cell, while $\lambda,\gamma$ are the indices for the sites inside each cell. $N$ is the number of sites in the lattice, and we choose $N=2L^2$, with $L$ odd. The momenta take the values $p_{x(y)}=\frac{2n\pi}{L},n=-\frac{L-1}{2},\cdots,\frac{L-1}{2}$.

We can further put the Hamiltonian (\ref{H}) in a quasi-free fermion form by introducing the fermionic operators \cite{Pachos}
\begin{eqnarray}
b(\mathbf{p})&=&\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\big(c_1(\mathbf{p})+ie^{i\theta}c_2(\mathbf{p})\big)\\
b^{\dagger}(\mathbf{p})&=&\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\big(c_1^{\dagger}(\mathbf{p})-ie^{-i\theta}c_2^{\dagger}(\mathbf{p})\big)\label{b},
\end{eqnarray}
with $\theta=\mathrm{arg}(f(\mathbf{p}))$. Then the Hamiltonian takes the following diagonal form:
\begin{equation}
H=\sum_{\mathbf{p}}\Lambda(\mathbf{p})\Big[b^{\dagger}(\mathbf{p})b(\mathbf{p})-\frac{1}{2}\Big],
\end{equation}
where $\Lambda(\mathbf{p})=|f(\mathbf{p})|=\sqrt{\epsilon(\mathbf{p})^2+\Delta(\mathbf{p})^2}$ represents the quasiparticle excitation energies.

The ground state is given by $\ket{gs}=\prod_{\mathbf{p}}\big(c_1^{\dagger}(\mathbf{p})+ie^{-i\theta}c_2^{\dagger}(\mathbf{p})\big)\ket{0}$, with $\ket{0}$ the  vacuum state of the Majorana operators $c_{\lambda}(\mathbf{p})$. The excited states are created by applying $b^{\dagger}(\mathbf{p})$ onto the vacuum state.
\subsection{Bures metric over thermal states}

We are interested in characterizing the effects of finite temperature on the quantum phase transitions of this model. We consider then the Kitaev model in thermal equilibrium with a heat bath at temperature $T$, and obtain the expression for the Bures metric (\ref{bl}) induced onto the 4-dimensional parameter space of the Kitaev model $\{\beta,J_a\}$, with $a=x,y,z$ and $\beta=1/T$.  In this situation, its states will be described by $\rho(T,\{J_a\})=Z^{-1}e^{-\beta H}=Z^{-1}\sum_ie^{\beta E_i}\ket{i}\bra{i}$, with $Z=\mathrm{Tr}e^{-\beta H}$, $E_i$ and $\ket{i}$ the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian. Using the equations ($\ref{bl}$), the expression for the fermionic operators ($\ref{b}$), together with the general results in \cite{F 12}, we obtain the following classical metric elements in the thermodynamic limit

\begin{eqnarray}\label{class}
g^{c}_{\beta\beta}&=&\frac{1}{32\pi^2}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}dp_xdp_y\frac{1}{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)+1}\Lambda^2\nonumber\\
g^{c}_{\beta J_{a}}&=&\frac{\beta}{32\pi^2}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}dp_xdp_y\frac{1}{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)+1} \Omega_{a}\nonumber\\
g^{c}_{\beta J_{z}}&=&\frac{\beta}{32\pi^2}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}dp_xdp_y\frac{1}{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)+1}2\epsilon\nonumber\\
g^{c}_{J_{a} J_{a}}&=&\frac{\beta^2}{32\pi^2}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}dp_xdp_y\frac{1}{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)+1}\frac{\Omega^2_{{a}}}{\Lambda^2}\nonumber\\
g^{c}_{J_zJ_z}&=&\frac{\beta^2}{32\pi^2}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}dp_xdp_y\frac{1}{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)+1}\Big(\frac{2\epsilon}{\Lambda}\Big)^2\nonumber\\
g^{c}_{J_x J_{y}}&=&\frac{\beta^2}{32\pi^2}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}dp_xdp_y\frac{1}{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)+1}\frac{\Omega_x\Omega_y}{\Lambda^2}\nonumber\\
g^{c}_{J_{a} J_z}&=&\frac{\beta^2}{32\pi^2}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}dp_xdp_y\frac{1}{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)+1} \Omega_{a}\frac{2\epsilon}{\Lambda^2},\nonumber\\
\end{eqnarray}
where $a\in \{x,y\}$, $\Omega_x=2(\cos(p_x)\epsilon(\mathbf{p})+\sin(p_x)\Delta(\mathbf{p}))$ and $\Omega_y=2(\cos(p_y)\epsilon(\mathbf{p})+\sin(p_y)\Delta(\mathbf{p}))$.

The quantum or nonclassical metric elements are
\begin{eqnarray}\label{quant}
g^{nc}_{J_aJ_b}&=&\frac{1}{32\pi^2}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}dp_xdp_y\frac{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)-1}{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)+1}\frac{\Theta_a\Theta_b}{\Lambda^4}\nonumber\\
\end{eqnarray}
where $a,b \in \{x,y,z\}$, $\Theta_x=4(J_z\sin(p_x)+J_y\sin(p_x-p_y))$, $\Theta_y=-4(J_x\sin(p_x-p_y)-J_z\sin(p_y))$ and $\Theta_z=-2\Delta(\mathbf{p})$.

In references \cite{FC,GC} the authors showed that a related quantity, the fidelity susceptibility, could characterize the quantum phase transition between these two phases at zero temperature, by exhibiting a divergence at the critical lines (\ref{regions}). Indeed, similar results can be obtained by taking the limit $T\rightarrow 0$ in (\ref{class}) and (\ref{quant}). Furthermore, since in this limit the metric elements are inversely proportional to the energy gap \cite{F 5}, they exhibit a series of peaks in the gapless region, at values of the momenta $\mathbf{p_0}$ for which $\Lambda=0$ \cite{GC}. In the case of finite temperature the metric elements don't exhibit divergences but finite peaks at the critical points, while the peaks in the gapless region are smoothed out, since all the momenta $\mathbf{p_0}$ are occupied with a probability given by the Boltzmann  distribution. Figure \ref{fig:metricplot} shows a plot of the metric element $g^{nc}_{J_zJ_z}$, for a finite size of $N = 2L^2$, $L=101$ \cite{G-china}, for $T=0$ and $T=0.01$. As can be seen, as soon as the temperature is finite, the peaks caused by finite size effects are smoothed out. \\

As soon as temperature is finite, the peaks (due to finite size effects) are suppressed.}\label{fig:metricplot}

\subsection{Temperature analysis of the metric elements}

In the first part of this section we will characterize two different regimes in the parameter space $\{\beta, J_a\}$, namely, the quasi-classical and quantum critical, in terms of the different scaling behavior of the metric elements with temperature. The quasi-classical region is located away from criticality, for the gapped phases outside the region ($\ref{regions}$), and the range of temperatures are such that $\beta\Delta\gg1$, with $\Delta$ the fermionic gap of the system, given by $\Delta=2(J_z-J_x-J_y)$ for $|J_z|\ge |J_x| + |J_y|$, and similarly for the other two gapped regions. The quantum critical region is located at the lines of criticality that separate the gapped and the gapless phases, at finite temperature. For this last case, we will analyze the scaling behavior of the metric elements for $\Delta=0$, and approaching the quantum critical point by taking $T \rightarrow 0$.

Let's proceed first with the scaling of the classical metric elements in the quasi-classical region. We will focus mainly on the region $|J_z|\ge |J_x| + |J_y|$, but the analysis is very similar for the other two gapped phases. Since $\beta\Lambda(\mathbf{p})>\beta\Delta\gg1$, we can do the following approximation: $\frac{1}{\cosh(\beta\Lambda)+1}\approx2e^{-\beta\Lambda(\mathbf{p})}$. The exponential $e^{-\beta\Lambda(\mathbf{p})}$ has a sharp peak centered around the minima of $\Lambda(\mathbf{p})$, which is given by $\mathbf{p}=(\pm \pi, \pm \pi)$. The asymptotic behavior of the metric elements with temperature can be obtained by performing a saddle point approximation, by expanding $\Lambda(\mathbf{p})$ to second order, the rest of the integrand up to the first nonzero term around the minima points, and extending the limits of integration in $p$ from $0$ to $\infty$. This results in the following scaling behavior of the classical metric elements

\begin{equation}
g^{c}_{ab}(\beta\Delta\gg1)\approx T^{\alpha}e^{-\Delta/T},
\end{equation}
 with $\alpha =1$ for $g^{c}_{\beta\beta}$, $\alpha=0$ for $a=\beta$, $b=J_x,J_y, J_z$ and $\alpha=-1$ for $a,b = J_x,J_y, J_z$.

A similar analysis can be performed for the nonclassical metric elements, with the result
\begin{equation}
g^{nc}(\beta\Delta\gg1)\approx g^{nc}(T=0)+f(J_x,J_y,J_z)T^2e^{-\Delta/T},
\end{equation}
with the same exponent, $T^2$, for all these metric elements, with a nonuniversal function $f(J_x,J_y,J_z)$.

We focus now on the quantum critical region. We will perform the scaling analysis with temperature inside and along the lines of criticality that separate the gapped from the gapless phase, and then take the limit $T \rightarrow 0$. In this limit, all classical metric elements vanish, so we are left to analyze the nonclassical ones.

Inside the gapless region (\ref{regions}), the scaling with temperature is dominated by the divergence of $\Lambda^{-4}$ at its zeroes, given by $p_x^{0}=\pi \pm \arccos\Big(\frac{J_x^2+J_z^2-J_y^2}{2J_xJ_z}\Big)$ and $p_y^{0}=\pi \pm \arccos\Big(\frac{J_y^2+J_z^2-J_x^2}{2J_yJ_z}\Big)$, around which $\Lambda\approx \alpha(p_x-p_x^{0}) + \beta(p_y-p_y^{0})$, with $\alpha$ and $\beta$ constants. The asymptotic behavior of the integrals can be well captured if we shift the limits of integration from $(-\pi, \pi)$ to $(0, 2\pi)$, and focus on the region around $\mathbf{p}=(p_x^{0}, p_y^{0})$. The factor $\frac{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)-1}{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)+1}$ presents a sharp drop at $(p_x^{0}, p_y^{0})$ that gets steeper the smaller the temperature T is, and away from this point is equal to $1$. For the purposes of obtaining the scaling of the metric elements, it can be very well represented by the following piecewise function

\begin{displaymath}
\frac{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)-1}{\cosh(\Lambda\beta)+1}\approx \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}
p^2/T^2 & \textrm{for $p \le T$}\\
1 & \textrm{otherwise,}
\end{array} \right.
\end{displaymath}
where we have taken polar coordinates $(p,\theta)$, centered around $(p_x^{0}, p_y^{0})$. Performing a Laurent expansion of $\frac{\Theta_a\Theta_b}{\Lambda^4}$, it can be seen that the nonclassical metric elements diverge logarithmically inside the gapless region
\begin{equation}
g^{nc}_{ab}(\Delta=0, T\rightarrow 0)\approx \ln(T).
\end{equation}

 This logarithmic divergence is related to the 2D nature of the model, and is different from power law behaviors that have been reported for the Ising \cite{F 12} and XY chains \cite{Chernoff} at finite temperature.

Along the phase boundaries (\ref{regions}), there is always a direction in momentum space along which the quasiparticle energy $\Lambda(\mathbf{p})$ is no longer linear but quadratic in momentum. For example, along the path $J_x=J_y=\frac{1-J_z}{2}$, $\Lambda(\mathbf{p})\approx (p-\pi)^2$ for $p_x=-p_y$. This quadratic dispersion dominates the scaling of the nonclassical metric elements with temperature, so that if one restricts the double integrals in (\ref{quant}) to a single integral along these paths in momentum space for which the dispersion becomes quadratic, one obtains that
\begin{equation}
g^{nc}_{ab}(\Delta=0, T\rightarrow 0)\approx T^{-1/2},
\end{equation}

\noindent at the boundaries between the phases, dominating the logarithmic divergence. We have checked this argument numerically and confirmed that indeed the nonclassical metric elements diverge as $T^{-1/2}$ for $T\rightarrow 0$.

We conclude that different regimes in the parameter space $\{\beta, J_a\}$ can indeed be identified by the distinct scaling in temperature of the Bures metric elements. We stress again that the nonclassical metric elements display a logarithmic divergence with temperature.

\section{Quantum versus Classical contributions}

We now remind the reader about the interpretation of the Bures metric elements. As we have seen, the Bures distinguishability metric depends on two parts, one classical and one nonclassical. The classical metric elements characterize the distinguishability between nearby density states due to changes in the mixing probabilities $p_i$ of the density matrix $\rho$, while the nonclassical metric elements characterize how the distniguishability is enhanced by the changes in the quantum states $\ket{i}$ themselves. We can therefore consider the ratio between the classical and corresponding nonclassical metric elements as a figure of merit to determine the relative impact on the overall distinguishability due to each classical and quantum contribution. Figure \ref{fig:contour} shows a contour plot for the ratio $g_{J_zJ_z}^c/g_{J_zJ_z}^{nc}$ in the plane $(J_z, T)$, along the trajectory $J_x=J_y=\frac{1-Jz}{2}$, for $0.48 < J_z < 0.52$. In the regions away from the quantum critical point $J_z=0.5$ and small temperatures and at the quantum critical region above $J_z=0.5$ we have that the nonclassical metric element has a predominant contribution to the Bures line element, while for regions in between the classical metric element prevails.

\begin{figure}[htp]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.26]{fig2.eps}
\caption{(Color online). Contour plot of the ratio $g_{J_zJ_z}/g_{J_zJ_z}^{nc}$ as a function of $J_z$ and temperature $T$, along the trajectory $J_x=J_y=\frac{1-Jz}{2}$. There is an enhancement in discrimination due to the nonclassical metric element in the quantum critical region as well as away from it, for small temperatures. The color scale goes from 0.1 (purple), to 0.6 (white).}\label{fig:contour}
\end{figure}

The contour plot seems to capture the crossover behavior, with a crossover at $T\sim | J_z - 0.5 |^{z\nu}$, with $z = \nu = 1$ \cite{Kitaev,F-china,G-china}. Indeed, using the expressions for the classical and nonclassical metric elements developed in \cite{F 12}, one can prove that near a quantum critical point $\frac{g^c}{g^{nc}} \sim \big(\frac{\Delta}{T}\big)^2$, with $\Delta$ being the gap. Since near quantum criticality $\Delta \sim |g - g_c |^{z\nu}$ \cite{QPT}, with $g$ the coupling constant driving the transition at $g_c$, we have that a contour plot would reveal the crossover at $T\sim | g - g_c |^{z\nu}$.

\section{Conclusions}
In this work we have analyzed the canonical thermal states of the Kitaev honeycomb model by using the Bures metric tensor. We have shown that  metric elements can be used to distinguish two regions in the parameter space $\{T, J_a\}$, namely the quasi-classical and quantum critical regions, by different temperature scaling of the metric elements. A novel logarithmic divergence with vanishing temperature has been  obtained for the nonclassical part of the metric elements.

Furthermore, the ratio between classical and quantum parts of metric elements has been used as a figure of merit to compare the classical and quantum contributions to the overall distinguishability of nearby states. It is interesting to point out that similar behavior for such ratios between metric elements can be seen for the Ising and XY models at finite temperature. It is tempting to compare this behavior with the usual crossover phenomena  that separate regions in which the fluctuations of order parameters are thermal or quantum. Nevertheless, this connection is blurred for the present model, since there is no local order parameter for the Kitaev honeycomb model. An interesting open question for future investigations is to see whether information metric
techniques similar to those exploited in these paper can help in studying quantum phase transitions involving different types of topological order see e.g., \cite{nonabany}.

Detailed explanation of transformer silicon steel sheet!
Commonly used transformer cores are generally made of silicon steel sheets. Silicon steel is a kind of steel made of silicon (silicon is also called silicon), and its silicon content is 0.8 to 4.8%. The iron core of the transformer is made of silicon steel because silicon steel itself is a magnetic material with strong magnetic permeability.
We know that the actual transformer always works in the AC state, and the power loss is not only in the resistance of the coil, but also in the iron core under the magnetization of the alternating current. The power loss in the iron core is usually called "iron loss". The iron loss is caused by two reasons, one is "hysteresis loss" and the other is "eddy current loss".
The hysteresis loss is the iron loss caused by the hysteresis phenomenon during the magnetization process of the iron core. The size of this loss is proportional to the size of the area enclosed by the hysteresis loop of the material. The hysteresis loop of silicon steel is narrow, and the hysteresis loss of the iron core of the transformer is small, which can greatly reduce the degree of heat generation.
Since silicon steel has the above advantages, why not use a whole piece of silicon steel as the iron core, but also process it into flakes? This is because the chip core can reduce another kind of iron loss - "eddy current loss".
When the transformer is working, there is an alternating current in the coil, and the magnetic flux it produces is of course alternating. This changing magnetic flux induces a current in the iron core. The induced current generated in the iron core circulates in the plane perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic flux, so it is called eddy current.
Eddy current losses also heat the core. In order to reduce the eddy current loss, the iron core of the transformer is made of silicon steel sheets that are insulated from each other, so that the eddy current passes through a small cross-section in a narrow and long loop to increase the resistance on the eddy current path; at the same time, the silicon in the silicon steel makes the The resistivity of the material increases, which also acts to reduce eddy currents.
For the iron core of the transformer, a cold-rolled silicon steel sheet with a thickness of 0.35mm is generally used. According to the size of the required iron core, it is cut into a long piece, and then overlapped into a "day" shape or a "mouth" shape. Theoretically speaking, in order to reduce the eddy current, the thinner the thickness of the silicon steel sheet and the narrower the spliced sheet, the better the effect. This not only reduces the eddy current loss and temperature rise, but also saves the materials used for silicon steel sheets.
But actually when making silicon steel sheet iron core. It is not only from the above-mentioned favorable factors, because the production of the iron core will greatly increase the man-hours and reduce the effective cross-section of the iron core. Therefore, when using silicon steel sheets to make transformer cores, we must proceed from the specific situation, weigh the pros and cons, and choose the best size.
Transformers are made according to the principle of electromagnetic induction. There are two windings, a primary winding, and a secondary winding, wound on the closed core leg. When the primary winding is false to the AC power supply voltage. There is an alternating current in the original Rao group, and a magnetic potential is established, and an alternating main magnetic flux is generated in the iron core under the action of the magnetic potential.
As for why it can be boosted, and bucked? Then it needs to be explained by Lenz's law. The magnetic flux generated by the induced current always hinders the change of the circular magnetic flux. When the original magnetic flux increases, the magnetic flux generated by the induced current is opposite to the original magnetic flux, that is, the second The induced magnetic flux produced by the winding is opposite to the main magnetic flux produced by the primary winding, so a low-level alternating voltage appears in the secondary winding. Therefore, the iron core is the magnetic circuit part of the transformer.
Silicon steel sheet
Silicon steel sheet for electrical use is commonly known as silicon steel sheet or silicon steel sheet. As the name implies, it is an electrical silicon steel with silicon content as high as 0.8%-4.8%, which is made by hot and cold rolling. Generally, the thickness is below 1mm, so it is called thin plate. In a broad sense, silicon steel sheet belongs to the plate category, and it is an independent branch due to its special purpose. Silicon steel sheet for electrical use has excellent electromagnetic properties and is an indispensable and important magnetic material in the electric power, telecommunication and instrumentation industries.
(1) Classification of silicon steel sheets
A. Silicon steel sheets can be divided into low silicon and high silicon according to their silicon content. Low silicon wafers contain less than 2.8% silicon, which has a certain mechanical strength, and are mainly used in the manufacture of motors, commonly known as motor silicon steel; For the manufacture of transformer cores, commonly known as transformer silicon steel sheets. There is no strict boundary between the two in actual use, and high silicon wafers are often used to manufacture large motors.
B. According to the production and processing technology, it can be divided into two types: hot rolling and cold rolling, and cold rolling can be divided into two types: non-oriented and oriented. Cold-rolled sheets have uniform thickness, good surface quality and high magnetic properties. Therefore, with the development of industry, hot-rolled sheets tend to be replaced by cold-rolled sheets. "replacing heat with cold").
(2) Performance index of silicon steel sheet
A. Low iron loss. The most important indicator of quality, all countries in the world divide grades by iron loss value. The lower the iron loss, the higher the grade and the higher the quality.
B, high magnetic induction intensity. Under the same magnetic field, a silicon steel sheet with higher magnetic induction can be obtained, and the volume and weight of the motor or transformer iron core made by it are relatively small, which can relatively save silicon steel sheet, copper wire and insulating materials.
C, the stacking coefficient is high. The surface of the silicon steel sheet is smooth, flat and uniform in thickness, and the stacking coefficient of the iron core is improved.
D. Good punchability. This is even more important for the manufacture of small, miniature motor cores.
E. The surface has good adhesion and weldability to the insulating film.
F. Magnetic aging G. The silicon steel sheet shall be delivered after annealing and pickling.
(1) Hot-rolled silicon steel sheet for electrical use (GB5212-85) The hot-rolled silicon steel sheet for electrical use is made of ferrosilicon soft magnetic alloy with low carbon loss and is hot-rolled into a sheet with a thickness of less than 1mm. Hot-rolled silicon steel sheet for electrical use is also called hot-rolled silicon steel sheet. Hot-rolled silicon steel sheets can be divided into low-silicon (Si≤2.8%) and high-silicon (Si≤4.8%) steel sheets according to their silicon content.
(2) Electrical cold-rolled silicon steel sheet (GB2521-88) is made of electrical silicon steel containing 0.8%-4.8% silicon and is cold-rolled. Cold-rolled silicon steel sheets are divided into two types: grain-free and grain-oriented steel strips. Cold-rolled electrical steel strip has the characteristics of smooth surface, uniform thickness, high stacking coefficient, good punching performance, and has higher magnetic induction and lower iron loss than hot-rolled electrical steel strip. Using cold strips instead of hot strips to manufacture motors or transformers can reduce their weight and volume by 0%-25%.
If the cold-rolled oriented strip is used, the performance is better. Using it to replace the hot-rolled strip or the low-grade cold-rolled strip can reduce the power consumption of the transformer by 45%-50%, and the working performance of the transformer is more reliable. Used in the manufacture of motors and transformers. Generally, grain-oriented cold-rolled strips are used as the state of motors or welding transformers, etc.; grain-oriented cold-rolled strips are used as iron cores for power transformers, pulse transformers, magnetic amplifiers, and the like. Steel plate specifications and dimensions: thickness of 0.35, 0.50, 0.65mm, width of 800-1000mm, and length of ≤2.0m.
(3) Hot-rolled silicon steel sheet for household appliances (GBH46002-90) The grade of hot-rolled silicon steel sheet for household appliances is represented by J (home) D (electricity) R (hot rolling), namely JDR. The number after JDR is the iron loss value*100, and the number after the horizontal line is the thickness of the steel plate (mm)*100. The electromagnetic performance requirements of hot-rolled silicon steel sheets for household appliances can be slightly lower, and the minimum iron loss value (P15/50) is 5.40W/kg. Usually delivered without washing. Differential motors used in various household appliances such as electric fans, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, range hoods, etc.

The Amityville Horror House
HOME » BLOG » HAUNTED STORIES » THE AMITYVILLE HORROR HOUSE
Horror lovers are likely familiar with 112 Ocean Avenue. That's the address where Ronald DeFeo Jr. killed his parents and siblings in their sleep in November of 1974. Also well known as 'The Amityville Horror House,' three years later, George and Kathy Lutz gained national attention for the "horrors" they experienced after buying the home in 1975. These included odd odors, green slime oozing from the walls, levitation, devilish creatures, cold spots, flying objects, and more. The ghostly activity became the subject of a novel and several movies, though the validity of their story has been questioned over the years.

Some people believe the house was haunted prior to the murders and DeFeo was led to madness by an evil presence that still lingers there today. Others believe the house is haunted by the tortured spirits of his victims. Either way, the house has made Amityville famous, drawing visitors from all over the country. At one point in the late 1970s, the "Ocean Avenue" sign was removed in an attempt to keep people away from New York's most haunted home.
The History of the Amityville Horror House
Located in a quiet, suburban neighborhood, the Amityville Horror House was nothing short of your typical family home. The house was occupied by the DeFeo family, who moved in when they purchased the property in 1965.
In 1974, almost ten years after their arrival, the family was eerily murdered in what would become a legendary night in New York history. Adding to the fright of the story is the fact that Ronald DeFeo Jr., then only 23 years old, is believed to be the murderer who killed his whole family while they slept. His youngest victim was his brother John Matthew, who was only nine years old.
The reason behind the family's murder remains unclear. It is well-known that Ronald Jr. had a volatile relationship with his father, Ronald DeFeo Sr., And of course, there is also a money trail: while in police custody, Ronald Jr. repeatedly asked police officers how he could collect his father's life insurance. At trial, the prosecution argued that said insurance money was the motive for his actions.

Ronald Jr. himself claimed other reasons, however. He alleged that his sister Dawn killed their father and that their mom, in a state of distress, killed all of his siblings with a .38 revolver. Ronald Jr. maintained that he then used the same murder weapon to kill his mother and that he, being a good son, took the blame for her actions because he was trying to protect her reputation. He didn't explain why he had to kill her though, and he has since then given even more disparate explanations so needless to say take him with a grain of salt.
Both of the parents and all four of the children were found dead face-down in bed. Ronald Jr. and his wife Louise had been shot twice; the kids only once. There were no signs of struggle or confrontation, and evidence also suggests Ronald Jr. and his daughter Dawn were awake at the time of their deaths. The murders are believed to have happened around 3:15 am, right around witching hour.
While the rest of the family may have been asleep, patrons at Henry's Bar were rowdy and wide awake when a restless Ronald Jr. rushed in screaming for help. The cops were called and Ronald Jr. was taken under their protection because he convinced them the killer could come after him next — little did they know that the suspected murderer was right under their noses the whole time.
After being found guilty on six counts of second-degree murder, Ronald Jr. spent the rest of his life at the Sullivan Correctional Facility. He died at the age of 69 at the Albany Medical Center and his cause of death has mysteriously not been disclosed to the public. For all we know, maybe he's back to living at Amityville Horror House.
Like all good haunted houses, Amityville is built in the Dutch Colonial style: gambrel roofs, curved eaves, wooden floors that squeak randomly at night. The house has five respectable bedrooms, a swimming pool, and, of course, a boathouse. Why not?

As if any of that weren't creepy enough, the house also still had all of the DeFeo's furniture at the time new owners moved in — it was stipulated in the sale for just $400, surely an insult to the dead family. One particular room on the second floor is of importance.
After the DeFeo's brutal murder, the house was sold to the Lutz family, their three children, and a wacky Labrador who apparently could not keep them safe. The Lutz decided to have their new home blessed after hearing about the previous owners, so they invited Father Ralph J. Pecoraro to do the deed.
Father Ralph was asked to bless the horror home. Flickr.
The story tells that Father Ralph heard a very masculine voice say "get out" as soon as he sprayed the room on the second floor. The room used to belong to Marc, 12, and John Matthew DeFeo, 9. At least the masculine voice didn't tell Father Ralph to kill anyone as it did with DeFeo Jr.
Almost immediately after Father Ralph left Amityville, he noticed blisters on his right hand and developed a high fever. He called the Lutzes and tried to warn them not to use the room where he had heard the voice but the call was cut short by static or an angry ghost. The Lutzes went on to enjoy some pretty uneventful and peaceful days until their ghostly days had enough of them…the events the Lutz experienced included a knife falling in the kitchen, the children levitating in their beds, and Mr. Lutz waking up every night at exactly 3:15 am.
Facts About the House
Surprisingly, Amityville Horror House is not a museum or privately managed property. It remains a single-family home that was recently taken off the market, though tourists and devoted fans still visit the street where one of the most heinous murders in Suffolk County happened. It's hard to imagine that the new owners like the attention, but maybe they do.
While they noticed nothing unusual at first, the Lutzes were chased out of their home after just 28 days.
What happens at Amityville doesn't necessarily stay at Amityville. The Lutzes claim that whatever paranormal activity drove them out of the house followed them to Mrs. Lutz's mother's house, where they stayed for a few days while sorting out the house issues.
The legend of the Amityville Horror House has produced a series of films and books that have captivated audiences for decades.
The address was changed to 108 Ocean Ave. to deter tourists.
The house was last sold in 2017 for a reported $605,000, and it is currently undergoing renovations. 3 different owners have occupied the mansion since the Lutzes abandoned it.
The house was built in 1925 and sits on a cool 10,900 square feet.
No neighbors reported hearing any gunshots at the time of the murder. If you're looking for a quiet street, maybe check out Ocean Ave.
There are three levels of stairs inside the mansion.
There are four bathrooms inside, quite the luxury for a single-family abode.
Next time you're visiting the Big Apple, cross over to Long Island and see this nutty home for yourself. If you start hearing voices, or if you notice some blisters on your hands…well, we don't know what to tell you.

You may not know the name Russian Hill, but it is the official title of San Francisco's highest hills and most crooked streets. The famed Lombard Street is found here, and though you may think that this means it is a heavily touristed area, think again. It is full of charming and cozy cafes, quiet little restaurants, an array of shops, and is within minutes of other hotspots, including Pacific Heights, Fisherman's Wharf and Marina Beach, among others. It is also home to idyllic San Francisco corporate housing options.
Set in the famed Russian Hill area, this San Francisco corporate housing is a condo-style property high at the top floor of an iconic early twentieth century home. Recently renovated and professionally decorated and designed, it is a two-bedroom and two-bath masterpiece that is much more than the sum of its parts. A CHBO Certified home, it stands apart from San Francisco furnished rentals for its convenient location, stunning scenery, comprehensive range of options, and its esthetic beauty.
After all, whether visiting for an extended business stay, as part of a relocation process or just for the pure pleasure of a visit to the region, this San Francisco corporate housing provides show-stopping views from almost every room. The great room includes an enormous bank of oversized windows that gaze out to the bay at North Beach. Your views take in Alcatraz, Pier 39 and more. And with a walkability score nearing 100, it means that you can see and do just about everything easily from your own front door.
Enjoy time in the dining area or large living room or head inward to the open kitchen with its premium appliance and additional lounging space. Unlike many San Francisco furnished rentals, this one features a private entrance that takes you inside your foyer with its dramatic skylights and beautiful artwork. From here you can head to the kitchen or to the amazing master bedroom. With a queen bed, fireplace and bay window gazing out to the views, it is more than just a little retreat. It opens into a large and full-sized office, which is another rarity in San Francisco corporate housing, allowing you to work from home when needed.
The bathrooms are spa-like retreats and the guest room is a charmer with its dual beds, colorful palette and private bath. And when the day is done, you can enjoy another feature rare to San Francisco furnished rentals – the rooftop deck with its unprecedented views of the city. Experts say that demand for furnished rentals are continually on the rise, and this wonderful home is ideal for a short or long term rental for a couple or group of any kind.

It seems that anyone who regularly uses microneedling tools at home (at least anyone I've encountered) has a distinct-looking complexion. Their skin is velvety smooth and with a perpetual post-vacation glow whether they've gone on holiday or not. Naturally, I was curious. And while I'm game to try just about anything once, I actually hesitated when I heard about what microneedling entails.
Microneedling is a skin care regimen that involves puncturing the skin with dozens of little needles with a tiny rolling pin in order to catalyze "wounding," and the process from which the skin heals is the golden ticket. The skin responds to these microscopic "wounds" by restructuring and resurfacing at a cellular level. Some who do it regularly experience better skin care product absorption, others do it to smooth over acne scars, and others do it simply to promote a healthy texture, tone, and glow.
Is microneedling safe?
That all sounds logical, but what about the needle piece—aren't at-home needles somewhat of a risk? Turns out there have been a fair number of studies done on the safety and efficacy of microneedling. One study found that using an anti-aging treatment in tandem with microneedling didn't address wrinkles, but it did improve the skin's overall radiance, texture, tone, brightness, and along with several other attributes with few side effects and hardly any downtime. Another concluded that, when done in a professional setting over at least four weeks, the skin appears younger and smoother than without the treatment. It's being studied in tandem with lasers as a way to deliver topical treatments more efficiently and accurately to people with alopecia. The scientific evidence points to microneedling as a safe skin resurfacing alternative to more invasive treatments like lasers that require downtime. At present, there is only one FDA-approved microneedling device, and it's for professional use. But what about at-home microneedling?
At home vs. professional microneedling.
"At-home microneedling is generally safe as the needles are only 0.25 millimeters in depth," integrative dermatologist Cybele Fishman, M.D., told mindbodygreen. "The main ways they can become unsafe is if people overdo it with the pressure and don't keep the roller clean, which could cause infection," she said. Diana Yerkes, head esthetician at New York City's Rescue Spa agrees. "At-home microneedling is safe and effective if you are using a correct tool," she said.
When it comes to at-home microneedling, both agree that at-home treatments help most with product absorption. "Microneedling rollers improve product penetration by close to 80 percent, therefore increasing its efficacy," Yerkes said. "What people need to know is that home microneedling will not stimulate collagen as the needles do not go deep enough," said Fishman. "Home microneedling rollers are useful primarily to help topical products penetrate deeper." In other words, if you're looking for some serious resurfacing of acne scars, fine lines, or skin texture—you're better off leaving it to the professionals. But if you're willing to experiment with how microneedling helps your skin absorb product, it might be for you.
So you want to try microneedling...
Yerkes recommends looking for a tool with needles that are aligned and evenly spaced. "The differences between a good tool and a bad tool is needle placement," she said. "I am a big fan of microneedling rollers by Environ."
To recap, here are our experts on what you need to know before starting an at-home microneedling practice:
Always talk to your doctor and/or dermatologist before starting a new skin care regimen, especially one like microneedling.
Clean your roller after every use by disinfecting it with alcohol.
Don't overdo it with pressure—apply a very gentle pressure and stop if it starts to hurt.
Use your penetrative skin care products like serums, treatment oils, and creams after microneedling.
Be sure your needles aren't too long (they shouldn't be longer than 0.25 mm in depth).
Replace your needles as often as needed—if they are dull, it won't be as effective.
Introduce microneedling as an at-home skin care boost a couple of times a week, and gradually increase it to every other night.

Q: How to see what riches are hidden inside the Microsoft Word template (*.dot or *.dotx) file? I have an old report.dot file. My client sent me new_report.docx file and said that this new_report.docx file shows how the new template new_report.dot should look now and how I should modify my old report.dot template into new new_report.dot template. This is essentially about Word tables.
I don't know what to do? I can simply save new_report.docx as new_report.dot and say that my job has been done. But I am afraid that the old report.dot can contain some bookmarks (placeholds), some active spots, elements - I have no idea - what else? I.e. report.doc can contain some hidden riches that are not visible when I open *.dot in Word as *.dot file.
My question is - what Word forms, tools I should use to see all the bookmarks and other invisible (possibly active) elements or placeholds in that exists in *.dot file and that can be used by some program that generates and fills *.docx files from *.dot files?
I can imagine and Bookmarks (special kind of placeholders) are the only elements. So - maybe I should seek some plugin that shows bookmarks and then copy those bookmarks from report.doc to new_report.docx and save it as new_report.dot and the the job will be done including the transfers of all the hidden riches from the old template file?

A: If you save this as a template, anything in the original .doc file will be in the template and will be in documents created from the template.
First, though, unless you are using Word 2003 or earlier, you would save as .dotx, not .dot. That is a macro-free template.
Here is my webpage on Templates in Microsoft Word. An earlier version of this is on the Microsoft website. I am giving this as a reference and to show that I know what I am talking about, not as the answer.
You can turn on viewing of bookmarks. This is in the Word options. You can also use Ctrl+G to bring up the GoTo dialog, pick bookmarks and display hidden bookmarks.
There may be landmines as well as hidden riches.
You can and should use the Document Inspector under the File Tab (Windows). This can help you detect and remove hidden metadata that you may not want in your template.

Male Fertility harmed by BPA
By Mavis Bates on January 26, 2015 in Uncategorized
Here's an interesting article from Newsweek about BPA. BPA is a chemical found in many plastics, can linings, and store receipts. Those receipts with a funny sticky or slippery feeling are covered in BPA. This article talks about how this chemical, because of its estrogen-like qualities, is harming male fertility.
If you are one of the 15% of American couples who are having trouble conceiving a child, you might want to avoid these chemicals as much as possible. When the clerk says, "Would you like your receipt?" you should probably say, "No, thank you."
Acupuncture can also help with fertility issues for both males and females.
BPA Disrupts Sperm Development, Linked to Declining Male Fertility
BY DOUGLAS MAIN 1/23/15 AT 11:50 AM
Many plastic bottles contain Bisphenol-A or similar estrogenic chemicals, which have been linked to disrupted sperm production. CHRISTIAN HARTMANN / REUTERS
Filed Under: Tech & Science, Health and Medicine, Men's Health, fertility,BPA
Men are generally not as fertile as they used to be, many studies suggest. While there are regional variations, sperm counts and quality have, by and large, been declining over the past 50 years or so. One 2013 study of more than 26,000 French men, for example, found that sperm concentrations have dropped by nearly 2 percent each year from 1996 to 2005. And other male reproductive problems, like testicular cancer and genital birth defects, are on the rise.
One prominent hypothesis is that this uptick in dysfunctions may be partially due to increasing exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, especially substances that mimic the effects of estrogen, which is found in higher concentrations in women and plays a role in the reproductive development of both sexes.
"There is little doubt that factors in our environment have adverse effects on human testicles," says Niels Skakkebaek, a prominent Danish researcher at the University of Copenhagen. "We are, for example, witnessing rather significant increases in testicular cancer that have occurred so fast that only factors in our environment…can explain it."
A new study soon to be published in the journal PLOS Geneticssuggests that bisphenol A (BPA)—an endocrine disruptor found in many plastics, can linings and receipts, and which mimics the effects of estrogen—may play a role in this decline in male fertility.
In the study, researchers exposed several different types of mice to low concentrations of BPA at birth, for a short period of time. Once the mice were sexually mature, the scientists examined the animals' testes and measured sperm count. In exposed males, sperm count was significantly lowered in two out of three mice strains tested, says study author Patricia Hunt, an expert on BPA at Washington State University. The one strain unaffected by BPA, an inbred variety, appears to have developed an unusual resistance to the chemical that wouldn't be expected in other mammals like humans, she adds.
Researchers also transplanted the stem cells that give rise to sperm from exposed animals into other mice to see if the BPA had damaged these cells or some other component of the reproductive system. Once inserted into healthy, unexposed mice, the cells still spit out sperm at the same reduced rate. The scientists concluded that that sperm-making cells themselves had been permanently disrupted by their early-life exposure to BPA.
"A short exposure after birth can permanently affect the way the adult male makes sperm," says Hunt. "This rocks my world," she adds, and not in a good way.
The scientists performed further experiments showing that BPA, as well as the chemical ethinyl estradiol, commonly used in oral contraceptive pills, affect a specific and vitally important cell process called meiosis—when the germ cellsfound in testes and ovaries make sperm or eggs. It appears that BPA permanently alters the way germ cells carry out the delicate process of DNA copying and splicing, Hunt says.
The fact that BPA and other estrogenic chemicals appear to damage stem cells "is huge and supports the prediction, though it is only a prediction at this point, that this could be the basis for the trend of declining sperm in males," says Fred vom Saal, who studies endocrine disruptors at the University of Missouri and wasn't involved in the study.
It's also quite possible that these alterations to stem cells, as caused by estrogenic chemicals, may be passed down for generations, vom Saal adds.
It's important to emphasize the study was done in mice, and animal studies don't always translate to humans. But it adds to previous work on humans that showed, for example, a link between higher BPA levels in men's urine and low sperm counts. The process of meiosis is also quite similar in mice and humans, and all mammals for that matter, vom Saal says.
"The hypothesis that BPA may play a role together with many other endocrine disrupters" in reducing male fertility "is plausible," Skakkebaek says. He and his group published a paper recently in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives "suggesting that exposure of young men to bisphenol A was associated to changes in their pituitary-testicular hormones, [which] are important for fertility."
But as you might expect, industry representatives say there's nothing to worry about. "In contrast to the author's assertion, the…doses of BPA tested in the small-scale study are hundreds to thousands times higher than actual human exposure, as repeatedly documented in population-scale biomonitoring studies," says Steven Hentges. He is with the American Chemistry Council, which represents plastic manufacturers that use BPA in their products. "Overall, this new study is of limited relevance to human health."
Hunt, vom Saal and others pointedly disagree, saying that they administered small doses within the range humans are exposed to. And a study published just last week found the tiny concentration of BPA found in a stream in Alberta, Canada, was enough to alter brain development in zebrafish.
Regulators are not impressed with these studies, apparently. In the past month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the BPA in food doesn't pose a significant health threat. And this week the European Food Safety Authority saidbasically the same thing, suggesting BPA was not a significant health concern.
Scientists like endocrinologist Andrea Gore, a professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Texas at Austin who also represents the Endocrine Society, aren't happy about these rulings. "The Endocrine Society, the world's oldest and largest organization of doctors who treat and scientists who research hormone health conditions, has expressed continued disappointment with the FDA's approach to regulating BPA," she says. "While conclusive evidence is lacking, sound scientific studies indicate a strong possibility for adverse health effects. It is the responsibility of the government to adopt measures that protect people from the risk of exposure to certain chemicals."
This is "just one more study that illustrates exposure to environmental estrogens during development can negatively affect physiology later in life," says Deborah Kurrasch, a developmental neuroscientist at the University of Calgary in Alberta, who wasn't involved in the study. "A substantially large body of literature now links endocrine disrupting chemicals to adverse health, and collectively these studies suggest that we should be minimizing our exposures as much as possible."

(CNN) — An ultra-marathoner trying to "run" from Florida to Bermuda in a human-powered inflatable bubble was rescued Saturday morning after he signaled for help, the Coast Guard said.
Reza Baluchi, according to his website, has set a goal of running across more than 190 recognized nations to encourage world peace. CNN ran a story about him in 2012.
The Coast Guard first encountered Baluchi on Wednesday when they found him in the bubble 70 nautical miles east of St. Augustine, disoriented and asking for directions to Bermuda, a Coast Guard press release said. It was not clear when he started his quest.
The Coast Guard described the craft as a "hydro pod bubble" and a man in a 2013 YouTube video called a Baluchi bubble "a big hamster wheel." It moved along the ground as Baluchi ran inside.


ALTON — An Alton man has been charged in a shooting death that occurred at a gas station in Alton Friday evening.
Pedro Cisneros-Vega, 22, of the 1200 block of Brown Street in Alton has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated unlawful use of weapons. The warrant was signed Monday by Judge Neil Schroeder.
Alton investigators were able to connect the driver in the crashes and the Madison County State's Attorney filed charges Monday.
Cisneros-Vega is currently in custody at the Alton Jail without bond.
"The swift resolution in this case was possible because of the strong network of first responders in our area. We will ensure that network remains strong so we can continue to be among the best departments in solving violent crime. A special thanks to the Madison County Sheriff's Office, East Alton Police Department, East Alton Fire Department, Madison County Coroner's Office and the Illinois State Police for their assistance in this case," said Police Chief Jason "Jake" Simmons.
Charges stem from an incident Friday where Alton Police responded to a report of a fight inside the Shell station located at 2500 Brown Street in Alton. During the course of that fight, 22-year-old Austin L. Pierson was shot and died as a result of the gunshot wounds.
"This incident saddens me because it is yet another instance where young adults in our community weren't able to look beyond the immediate moment and find a peaceful resolution to their problems. I have excellent investigators who solve these cases, but most could be avoided altogether if we do a better job teaching our young people that violence is not the answer," said Simmons.
Shortly after the shooting, Alton police learned of reports of a hit and run traffic crash in East Alton and then a second traffic crash at Illinois Route 140 and Illinois Route 159. A suspect was taken into custody by Madison County Sheriff's Deputies and Illinois State Troopers at the scene of the second crash.

Likely FBI Nominee to Face NSA Debate
By Devlin Barrett
James Comey, President Barack Obama's planned nominee to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is intimately familiar with debates over government surveillance. That could complicate his confirmation hearings, as lawmakers and interest groups try to extract information and assurances about how the programs work.
Mr. Comey, a former prosecutor and once the second-highest official in President George W. Bush's Justice Department, has a unique history in dealing with government surveillance.


Discussion in 'Online Casinos' started by Nicola, Apr 16, 2018.
I know most of us UK folk are annoyed at the constant "reminders" every 60 minutes of how much we have won or lost when playing slots and the limit to 100 spins which was all thanks to the Gambling Commission's first round of 'Responsible Gambling' initiatives.
The second round is on the way very soon and I'm sure we're all agreed that the implementation of GAMSTOP will help those who find online gambling a struggle. Every casino (and potentially every affiliate) must link to 'The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme' shortly.
mcgameboy, MenangSlots, dbl88 and 6 others like this.
A good move by the UKGC for a change.
I agree Nicola, those information very useful and as reminder tools to self control (responsible gambling).
No doubt casinos already had this information whilst the players didn't. It will allow more transparency at least, assuming it's the players that decide to use this tool and not enforced by the casino.
What's to stop a casino labelling someone a problem gambler if they win too much?

Avoid making your decision based on price. This is a mistake that is done by many people. Experts who charge low prices might not cover the overhead costs. Some of them don't have a proper insurance. Customers who make their decisions based on prices might end up paying more to money in fixing other roofing issues. This is one of the common problems that can be avoided by hiring a reputable roofing company.

Survey shows some insight into Assasin's Creed III
Syavash Pahore • Dec 4, 2010 12:56 PM EST
Sometime ago, we found out about Ubisoft's plan to release the next big Assasin's Creed game in 2011 (possibly called AC3). Now there is a survey around the web rumored to be from Ubisoft regarding the AC franchise.
The objective of the survey is to find out what gamer's want from Assasin's Creed next and highlights some of the changes that the game could/might incorporate:
Would you like to see ____ in the sequel to the ASSASSIN'S CREED: BROTHERHOOD?
1) An upgrade to the assassin's blade that increases the fluidity and speed of free-running
2) An enhanced Eagle Vision: see the patrol paths of guards, spot clues to complex navigation puzzles, detect when characters are lying during interrogations, etc.
3) An intuitive crafting tool that lets you create custom bombs from dozens of ingredients found throughout the game world
4) Tactical use of a variety of bombs suited to unique contexts and situations (smoke, poison, flash, explosive, etc.)
5) An additional objective where you and your Assassins guild fight against the Templars to gain control of a city, district by district
6) Playing as a new Assassin, in a different historical time period
7) A continuation of Ezio's story as the leader of the Assassins, set outside of Italy
8) Deeper connectivity between all the Assassin's Creed projects (eg. an action you make on the Facebook game will impact your game experience on the console; events that you read about in the comics will be related to the storyline of the videogames, etc.)
9) Online Cooperative Mode
10) Offline Cooperative Mode
11) The availability of new maps for the Multiplayer
12) A choice of additional Multiplayer characters with new skill-sets
13) Playing new Multiplayer modes
14) A deeper team-based Multiplayer experience (guilds / squads that have common objectives, new tools for clan management, etc.)
15) A customization of the Multiplayer experience (logos, avatars, objects, team names, etc.)
IF this survey really is by Ubisoft (we don't know for sure) it seems the developers are really hard at work to make the new game as good as possible. I think its time to follow in the footsteps of another of Desmond's ancestors and they could overhaul the AI to spice things up a bit and make the game alot more difficult. Feel free to dream, after all we've only got an year before the big moment.

Q: How to execute result of a query in PostgreSQL I am trying to create a view by joining two tables. These two tables have a few columns with the same name. Which gives an error

SQL Error [42701]: ERROR: column "column_name" specified more than once

I cannot use column names while creating the view as there are 30+ columns and new columns will be added to both tables over the period of time. Hence, I have to use * to get all the columns.
Now, to eliminate columns which exist in both the table, I went ahead and did this:
SELECT 'SELECT ' || STRING_AGG('u2.' || column_name, ', ') || ' FROM schema_name.table_name u2'
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name = 'table_name'
  AND table_schema = 'schema_name'
  AND column_name NOT IN ('column_name');

This gives me the query to select data from schema_name.table_name without the column column_name. Great!!
The problem: How do I execute the result of the above query?
I tried PREPARE statement, it is just executing the above query and not the result of the above query.
Also, creating a temporary table with no column "column_name" isn't a viable solution.

A: You need to prepare a dynamic query and then EXECUTE it. It would be something like this:
DO
$do$
    BEGIN

        EXECUTE (
            SELECT CONCAT('CREATE VIEW temp_view AS SELECT ',
                          -- SELECT table1 columns here
                          (SELECT STRING_AGG('u1.' || column_name, ', ')
                           FROM information_schema.columns
                           WHERE table_name = 'table1'
                             AND table_schema = 'schema_name'
                          -- AND column_name NOT IN ('column_name')  -- not omitting for table1
                          ),
                          ', ',
                           -- SELECT table2 columns here
                          (SELECT STRING_AGG('u2.' || column_name, ', ')
                           FROM information_schema.columns
                           WHERE table_name = 'table2'
                             AND table_schema = 'schema_name'
                             AND column_name NOT IN ('column_name')),
                           -- Dynamically prepare the FROM and JOIN clauses
                          ' FROM table1 u1 JOIN table2 u2 ON u1.id = u2.table1_id'));

    END
$do$;
