Computational Processes for General Intelligence
Authors: Balakrishnan Prabhakar 
Published: October 2022

<p>The ‘brain-mind-intelligence’ structure may be considered analogous to a ‘computer-operating system (OS)-application’ construct. Software development would be far more difficult without the benefit of abstractions like file and memory handles, and graphical user interfaces, implemented in operating systems. The easy access to application-level semantics, provided by the infrastructure of the OS, simplifies application development. Abstractions can play a similar role in producing intelligent systems. The power of abstractions may be determined by their ability to unify the treatment of several types of higher concepts. Unifying various concepts in the domain of intelligence, such as problems, solutions, objects, and emotions, through abstractions will be of immense value. This paper shows how ‘higher-level perceptions’ could be used to serve this objective and construct an OS-like infrastructure. With the infrastructure in place, ordinary software objects developed and deployed using standard methods, become accessible using the semantics provided by the infrastructure. Now, after brief training exercises, the objects would be available for intelligent use. The focus, therefore, is on the design of the infrastructure that could play a mind-like role in humans.</p>
<p>The design results in a new, non-symbolic, non-connectionist, transmutable method of representation, essential for intelligence. The new infrastructure enables the conversion of inputs to transmutable representations amenable to semantic modifications, to flexibly determine actions to perform on software objects developed externally. Thus, the new model overcomes major problems in learning and action selection, including brittleness, associated with the rigid semantics of symbolic and connectionist designs.</p>
<p>The new model is then evaluated in terms of features, against criteria set forth independently by Newell, Sun, Vernon, and others. In addition, a new measure of intelligence introduced in this paper is used to quantitatively compare the proposed model with some others developed over the years. </p>

Compact Wideband Groove Gap Waveguide Bandpass Filters Manufactured with Printing and CNC Milling Techniques

Published: October 2022

<p> This paper presents for the first time a compact wideband bandpass filter in groove gap waveguide (GGW) technology. The structure is obtained by including metallic pins along the central part of the GGW bottom plate according to an <em>n</em>-order Chebyshev stepped impedance synthesis method. The bandpass response is achieved by combining the high-pass characteristic of the GGW and the low-pass behavior of the metallic pins, which act as impedance inverters. This simple structure together with the rigorous design technique allows reducing the manufacturing complexity for the realization of high-performance filters. These capabilities are verified by designing a fifth-order GGW Chebyshev bandpass filter with a bandwidth <em>BW</em> = 3.7 GHz and return loss <em>RL</em> = 20 dB in the frequency range of the WR-75 standard, and by implementing it using computer numerical control (CNC) machining and three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques. Three prototypes have been manufactured: one using a computer numerical control (CNC) milling machine and two others by means of a stereolithography-based 3D printer and a photopolymer resin. One of the two resin-based prototypes has been metallized from a silver vacuum thermal evaporation deposition technique, while for the other a spray coating system has been used. The three prototypes have shown a good agreement between the measured and simulated <em>S</em>-parameters, with insertion losses better than <em>IL</em> = 1.2 dB. Reduced size and high-performance frequency responses with respect to other GGW bandpass filters were obtained. These wideband GGW filter prototypes could have a great potential for future emerging satellite communications systems. </p>

Authors: Tarrías Antonio , Fortes Sergio , Barco Raquel 
Published: October 2022

<p>Failure management is one of the key aspects in cellular networks. 5G technology is introducing several novel features that will cause the occurrence of new problems in the network. The objective of the present work is to identify which features may lead to potential network failures. In this way, a subset of problems has been identified and categorized. They were analyzed in order to know how they are in line with 3GPP specifications. Based on this, the present work proposes a novel failure management approach, applying it for failure simulation and impact analysis over the network performance. </p>
Motivation by reward jointly improves speed and accuracy, whereas task-relevance and meaningful images do not
Authors: Wolf Christian , Lappe Markus 
Published: October 2022

AbstractVisual selection is characterized by a trade-off between speed and accuracy. Speed or accuracy of the selection process can be affected by higher level factors—for example, expecting a reward, obtaining task-relevant information, or seeing an intrinsically relevant target. Recently, motivation by reward has been shown to simultaneously increase speed and accuracy, thus going beyond the speed–accuracy-trade-off. Here, we compared the motivating abilities of monetary reward, task-relevance, and image content to simultaneously increase speed and accuracy. We used a saccadic distraction task that required suppressing a distractor and selecting a target. Across different blocks successful target selection was followed either by (i) a monetary reward, (ii) obtaining task-relevant information, or (iii) seeing the face of a famous person. Each block additionally contained the same number of irrelevant trials lacking these consequences, and participants were informed about the upcoming trial type. We found that postsaccadic vision of a face affected neither speed nor accuracy, suggesting that image content does not affect visual selection via motivational mechanisms. Task relevance increased speed but decreased selection accuracy, an observation compatible with a classical speed–accuracy trade-off. Motivation by reward, however, simultaneously increased response speed and accuracy. Saccades in all conditions deviated away from the distractor, suggesting that the distractor was suppressed, and this deviation was strongest in the reward block. Drift-diffusion modelling revealed that task-relevance affected behavior by affecting decision thresholds, whereas motivation by reward additionally increased the rate of information uptake. The present findings thus show that the three consequences differ in their motivational abilities.

Published: October 2022

Bu çalışmada, Samsun Büyükşehir Belediye Meclisi tarafından “kentsel dönüşüm ve gelişim proje alanı” olarak ilan edilen; Vezirköprü ilçesi, Doyran ve Kızılcaören Mahalleleri sınırları içerisinde yer alan sırasıyla 108/51 ve 108/66 numaralı mera parsellerinde, tahsis amacının değişimi isteğine binaen “Mera durum” sınıfı belirlenerek yapılan işin 4342 sayılı Mera Kanuna uygunluğu incelenmiştir.
Etüt, 2017 yılı haziran ayı içerisinde yapılmış olup, göz ile tahmin yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Vejetasyon etüdü verilerine göre yapılan hesaplamaya göre mera durumu % 40 ile “Orta” sınıfta yer almıştır. Mera Kanunu’nun 14. maddesine göre mera alanının “Mera durum sınıfı”nın “Çok iyi” veya “İyi” değil de “Orta” çıkması, çalışılan mera alanında tahsis amacı değişikliği yapılabileceğini göstermiştir. Bu sonuca göre Mera Komisyonu, alan için tahsis amacında değişiklik yapılması talebini kabul etmiş ve kararı onay için Tarım ve Orman Bakanlığına göndermiştir. Ancak Bakanlık; bu tür her başvuruda olumlu görüş bildirilme gibi bir zorunluluğun olmadığını ifade ederek; bu alanın sanayi yatırımı için zorunlu olup olmadığı, alternatif bir alanın bulunup bulunmadığı, istenilen alanın gereğinden büyük olup olmadığı ve mera bütünlüğünün bozulup bozulmadığı gibi kriterler bakımından yeniden değerlendirilmesini istemiştir. Mera komisyonu, Belediyenin gerekçeli raporunu incelendikten sonra tahsis amacı değişikliği hususunda yeniden “Olumlu” görüş bildirmiştir. Ancak Bakanlık kararı uygun bulmamış ve mera alanı Samsun Büyükşehir Belediyesine tahsis edilmemiştir.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The observations of GW170817/AT2017gfo have provided us with evidence that binary neutron star mergers are sites of r-process nucleosynthesis. However, the observed signatures in the spectra of GW170817/AT2017gfo have not been fully decoded, especially in the near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. In this paper, we investigate the kilonova spectra over the entire wavelength range with the aim of elemental identification. We systematically calculate the strength of bound–bound transitions by constructing a hybrid line list that is accurate for important strong transitions and complete for weak transitions. We find that the elements on the left side of the periodic table, such as Ca, Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, La, and Ce, tend to produce prominent absorption lines in the spectra. This is because such elements have a small number of valence electrons and low-lying energy levels, resulting in strong transitions. By performing self-consistent radiative transfer simulations for the entire ejecta, we find that La iii and Ce iii appear in the NIR spectra, which can explain the absorption features at λ ∼ 12000–14000 Å in the spectra of GW170817/AT2017gfo. The mass fractions of La and Ce are estimated to be >2 × 10−6 and ∼(1–100) × 10−5, respectively. An actinide element Th can also be a source of absorption as the atomic structure is analogous to that of Ce. However, we show that Th iii features are less prominent in the spectra because of the denser energy levels of actinides compared to those of lanthanides.
A Strong Shock During a Nova Outburst: An Origin of Multiple Velocity Systems in Optical Spectra and of High-energy Emissions
Authors: Hachisu Izumi , Kato Mariko 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
We propose a theoretical explanation of absorption/emission line systems in classical novae based on a fully self-consistent nova explosion model. We found that a reverse shock is formed far outside the photosphere (≳1013 cm) because later-ejected mass with a faster velocity collides with earlier-ejected matter. Optically thick winds blow continuously at a rate of ∼10−4
M
☉ yr−1 near the optical maximum, but its velocity decreases toward the optical maximum and increases afterward, so that the shock arises only after the optical maximum. The nova ejecta is divided by the shock into three parts, the outermost expanding gas (earliest wind before maximum), shocked shell, and inner fast wind, which respectively contribute to pre-maximum, principal, and diffuse-enhanced absorption/emission line systems. A large part of nova ejecta is eventually confined to the shocked shell. The appearance of the principal system is consistent with the emergence of a shock. This shock is strong enough to explain thermal hard X-ray emissions. The shocked layer has a high temperature of kT

Corrections to Estimated Accretion Disk Size due to Color Correction, Disk Truncation, and Disk Wind
Authors: Zdziarski Andrzej A. , You Bei , Szanecki Michał 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
We consider three corrections to the disk sizes estimated at a given frequency using accretion models. They are due to a color correction, a disk truncation at an inner radius larger than the innermost stable circular orbit, and disk winds, which we apply to the standard disk model. We apply our results to the estimates of the disk sizes based on microlensing. We find that these three effects combined can explain the long-standing problem of the disk sizes from microlensing being larger than those estimated using the standard disk model (i.e., that without accounting for the above effects). In particular, an increase of the color correction with the increasing temperature can lead to a strong increase of the half-light radius even if this correction is close to unity at the temperature corresponding to an observed frequency. Our proposed formalism for calculating the half-light radius also resolves the long-standing issue of discrepancies between the disk size estimates based on the accretion rate and on the observed flux.
Metallicities of Five z > 5 Emission-line Galaxies in SMACS 0723 Revealed by JWST
Authors: Taylor A. J. , Barger A. J. , Cowie L. L. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
JWST’s Early Release Observations of the lensing cluster SMACS J0723.3–7327 have given an unprecedented spectroscopic look into the high-redshift universe. These observations reveal five galaxies at z > 5. All five have detectable [O iii]λ4363 line emission, indicating that these galaxies have high temperatures and low metallicities and that they are highly star-forming. In recent work, the metallicities of these five galaxies have been studied using various techniques. Here we summarize and compare these previous results, as well as perform our own measurements of the metallicities using improved methodologies that optimize the extraction of the emission lines. In particular, we use simultaneous line fitting and a fixed Balmer decrement correction, as well as a novel footprint measurement of the emission lines in the 2D spectra, to produce higher-fidelity line ratios that are less sensitive to calibration and systematic effects. We then compare our metallicities to those of z ≲ 1 galaxies with high rest-frame equivalent widths of Hβ, finding that they may be good analogs. Finally, we estimate that the JWST galaxies out to z ∼ 8 are young compared to the age of the universe.
Investigating the [C ii]-to-H i Conversion Factor and the H i Gas Budget of Galaxies at z ≈ 6 with Hydrodynamic Simulations

Abstract
One of the most fundamental baryonic matter components of galaxies is the neutral atomic hydrogen (H i). At low redshifts, this component can be traced directly through the 21 cm transition, but to infer the H i gas content of the most distant galaxies, a viable tracer is needed. We here investigate the fidelity of the fine-structure transition of the (2

We select 11,125 star-forming galaxies from the simba simulations, with far-infrared line emissions postprocessed and modeled within the Sigame framework. We find a strong connection between C ii and H i, with the relation between this C ii-to-H i relation (β
[C II]) being anticorrelated with the gas-phase metallicity of the simulated galaxies. We further use these simulations to make predictions for the total baryonic matter content of galaxies at z ≈ 6, and specifically the H i gas mass fraction. We find mean values of M

The Intermediate Polar FO Aquarii Has Not Been the Same Since Recovering from a Series of Low States
Authors: Garnavich Peter , Littlefield Colin , Boyle Rebecca S. , Kennedy Mark 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
FO Aqr is a bright intermediate polar that has long displayed large amplitude photometric variations corresponding to the 20.9 minutes spin period of its white dwarf. Between 2016 and 2020, the system suffered a series of unprecedented low-states, but recent data shows that it has now recovered to its normal optical luminosity. We compare the light curves obtained by K2/Kepler in 2014 with photometry from the TESS mission obtained in 2021. We find that the spin pulse that had been the dominant feature of the light curve in 2014 is now weak over the second half of the binary orbit and that a beat pulse is enhanced in the TESS photometry. Variations at approximately twice the spin frequency are now seen over the second half of the orbit. These photometric properties may be the new normal for FO Aqr now that its white dwarf has begun to spin down.
Les violences conjugales dans un contexte de séparation
Authors: Brown Elizabeth , Mazuy Magali 
Published: October 2022

L’enquête nationale quantitative « Violences et rapports de genre » (Virage) montre que la période de séparation conjugale est caractérisée par une recrudescence des violences, particulièrement pour les femmes qui subissent des atteintes psychologiques, physiques et sexuelles souvent graves. Les hommes en déclarent beaucoup moins, surtout psychologiques et peu graves. Ces violences à l’encontre des femmes perdurent après la séparation. Au cours de la vie, séparations et violences conjugales entretiennent des liens étroits et réciproques qui ont des conséquences graves et durables sur les parcours de vie féminins, notamment en termes d’affects et de santé somatique et psychique. Les femmes se protègent en s’éloignant de la conjugalité. Elles activent encore peu les recours institutionnels, lesquels apportent des réponses insuffisantes.
Experimental demonstration of uncompressed 4K video transmission over directly modulated distributed feedback laser‐based terahertz wireless link

Published: October 2022

AbstractWe demonstrate the transmission of uncompressed 4K videos over the photonics‐based terahertz (THz) wireless link using a directly modulated distributed feedback laser diode (DFB‐LD). For optical heterodyne mixing and data modulation, a DFB‐LD was employed and directly modulated with a 5.94‐Gb/s non‐return‐to‐zero signal, which is related to a 6G‐serial digital interface standard to support ultra‐high‐definition video resolution. We derived the optimal frequency of the THz carrier by varying the wavelength difference between DFB‐LD output and Tunable LD output in the THz signal transmitter to obtain the best transmission performances of the uncompressed 4K video signals. Furthermore, we exploited the negative laser‐to‐filter detuning for the adiabatic chirp management of the DFB‐LD by the intentional discrepancy between the center wavelength of the optical band‐pass filter and the output wavelength of the DFB‐LD. With the help of the abovementioned methods, we successfully transmitted uncompressed 4K video signals over the 2.3‐m wireless transmission distance without black frames induced by time synchronization error.
