description: Premise: Animal-pollinated plants face a high risk of pollen loss during its transfer. To limit the negative effect of pollen losses by pollen consumption and heterospecific transfer, plant species may adjust and stratify their pollen availability during the day (i.e., “schedule” their pollen presentation) and attract pollinators in specific time frames. Methods: We investigated diurnal patterns of pollen availability and pollinator visitation in three coflowering plant species: Succisa pratensis with open flowers and accessible pollen, pollinated mainly by pollen-feeding hoverflies; Centaurea jacea with open flowers and less accessible pollen, pollinated mainly by pollen-collecting bees; and Trifolium hybridum with closed flowers and pollen accessible only after the active opening of the flower, pollinated exclusively by bees. Results: The three plant species differed in the peak pollen availability, tracked by the visitation activity of their pollinators. Succisa pratensis released all pollen in the morning, while pollinator activity was still low and peaked with a slight delay. In contrast, C. jacea and T. hybridum had distinct pollen presentation schedules, peaking in the early afternoon. The pollinator visitation to both of these species closely matched their pollen availability. Conclusions: Stratifying pollen availability to pollinators during the day may be one of several mechanisms that allow coflowering plants to share their pollinators and decrease the probability of heterospecific pollen transfer.

description: We prove the following two results. 1. If $X$ is a completely regular space such that for every topological space $Y$ each separately continuous function $f:X\times Y\to\mathbb R$ is of the first Baire class, then every Lindelöf subspace of $X$ bijectively continuously maps onto a separable metrizable space. 2. If $X$ is a Baire space, $Y$ is a compact space and $f:X\times Y\to\mathbb R$ is a separately continuous function which is a Baire measurable function, then there exists a dense in $X$ $G_δ$-set $A$ such that $f$ is jointly continuous at every point of $A\times Y$ (this gives a positive answer to a question of G. Vera).

description: In Germany, schools are largely responsible for adolescents’ career development. Corresponding interventions in career guidance must take into account various endogenous and exogenous factors of individualized development to foster successful post‐school transitions. Parents, in particular, are one of the most significant influencing factors when it comes to shaping after‐school plans usually having a highly positive effect along with teacher support. Children in one‐parent families constitute a group that has received little attention so far in the context of career guidance analysis. They are at a higher risk of social decline into precarious circumstances and of living in families with lower education levels as well as less parental care time. In addition, one‐parent families more often report that they are unable to adequately support their children concerning career development, ultimately impacting the children’s post‐school transition. Based on the theoretical model of career competence, a sample from eight German schools (N = 1998) is used to investigate to what extent adolescents in one‐parent families differ from their peers in other family compositions regarding both support and development of career competence. Each school’s location and teacher support are included in the calculations. This study shows that adolescents in one‐parent families display below‐average levels concerning three of the analysed facets (occupational knowledge, exploration, and self‐regulation).

description: “O ENCONTRO: do acontecimento a um olhar atento – o espetáculo O Miolo da Estória” é resultado de um estudo que foi afetado pela pandemia da Covid-19 que causou o confinamento de pessoas como medida sanitária. Medidas estas que causaram alterações significativas no andamento da pesquisa na qual estava pautada em estudar a recepção do espetáculo teatral Ensaio Sobre a Memória de Marcelo Flecha. Diante de tais circunstâncias foi necessário mudar o ângulo de visão da pesquisa para o estudo da análise do espetáculo teatral O Miolo da Estória colocando-me como pesquisador e sujeito desta pesquisa uma vez que faço reflexões sobre as minhas experiências sensoriais durante a recepção deste espetáculo ocorrido em 2013. Para isso, me debruço sobre duas metodologias: primeiro o método da autoetnografia quando realizo o resgate da minha memória dialogando com os estudos de Santaella e Merleau-Ponty sobre percepção, Dewey e Larrosa sobre experiência e Artaud, Boal e Dubatti sobre acontecimento fundamentando este estudo. Em seguida, faço uso da etnografia ao realizar uma análise técnica deste mesmo espetáculo pautado nas ferramentas de análises de espetáculos teatrais apresentadas por Pavis. Como ferramentas fiz uso da observação, caderno de registros, entrevistas, plataforma digital Zoom, WhatsApp e Instagram. A relevância deste estudo se sustenta na contribuição aos estudos de análises de espetáculos realizados em São Luís que não descartam o papel do pesquisador enquanto sujeito da própria pesquisa, além de enfatizar a importância da cultura popular e dos costumes da sociedade local que são repletas de histórias e crenças herdadas por gerações e que sobrevivem até os dias atuais.

description: This paper explores how individuals’ language use in gender-specific groups (“mothers” and “fathers”) compares to their interactions when referred to as “parents.” Language adaptation based on the audience is well-documented, yet large-scale studies of naturally-occurring audience effects are rare. To address this, we investigate audience and gender effects in the context of parenting, where gender plays a significant role. We focus on interactions within Reddit, particularly in the parenting Subreddits r/Daddit, r/Mommit, and r/Parenting, which cater to distinct audiences. By analyzing user posts using word embeddings, we measure similarities between user-tokens and word-tokens, also considering differences among high and low self-monitors. Results reveal that in mixed-gender contexts, mothers and fathers exhibit similar behavior in discussing a wide range of topics, while fathers emphasize more on educational and family advice. Single-gender Subreddits see more focused discussions. Mothers in r/Mommit discuss medical care, sleep, potty training, and food, distinguishing themselves. In terms of individual differences, we found that, especially on r/Parenting, high self-monitors tend to conform more to the norms of the Subreddit by discussing more of the topics associated with the Subreddit.

description: The key ingredient of high critical currents in a type-II superconductor is defect sites that 'pin' vortices. Contrary to earlier understanding on nano-patterned artificial pinning, here we show unequivocally the advantages of a random pinscape over an ordered array in a wide magnetic field range. We reveal that the better performance of a random pinscape is due to the variation of its local-density-of-pinning-sites (LDOPS), which mitigates the motion of vortices. This is confirmed by achieving even higher enhancement of the critical current through a conformally mapped random pinscape, where the distribution of the LDOPS is further enlarged. The demonstrated key role of LDOPS in enhancing superconducting critical currents gets at the heart of random versus commensurate pinning. Our findings highlight the importance of random pinscapes in enhancing the superconducting critical currents of applied superconductors.

description: We derive relativistic corrections for one-way and two-way time and frequency transfer over optical fibres neglecting no terms that exceed 1 ps in time and $10^{-18}$ in fractional frequency, and estimate their magnitude in typical fibre links. We also provide estimates of the uncertainties in the evaluation of the relativistic corrections due to imperfect knowledge of parameters like the coordinates of the fibre and stations, Earth rotation, or thermal effects of the fibre index and length. The links between Teddington(UK) and Paris(F) as well as Braunschweig(D) and Paris(F), that are currently under construction, are studied as specific examples.

description: Educational games are a very effective approach to teaching various topics. Computer security can be a daunting topic for computer science students with no background in the field. In the context of this thesis a game prototype was developed which teaches players about computer security topics. To evaluate the effectiveness of the game, questionnaires were created and playtesting sessions were held. The aims of this thesis were to understand any changes in player interest, increase in player knowledge in the field of computer security, and to understand any issues related to game design. Based on the results of the evaluations, the author concludes that players gained knowledge from playing the game and player interest in the field increased. Several game design issues were detected, which should be addressed in future iterations of the game.

description: Results of the estimation of the precision for determination volatile compounds in alcohol-containing products by gas chromatography: acetaldehyde, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol are presented. To determine the accuracy, measurements were planned in accordance with ISO 5725 and held at the gas chromatograph Chromatec-Crystal 5000. Standard deviation of repeatability, intermediate precision and their limits are derived from obtained experimental data. The uncertainty of the measurements was calculated on the base of an "empirical" method. The obtained values of accuracy indicate that the developed method allows measurement uncertainty extended from 2 to 20% depending on the analyzed compound and measured concentration.

description: Clustering Transactions in sequence, temporal and time series databases is achieving an important attention from the database researchers and software industry. Significant research is carried out towards defining and validating the suitability of new similarity measures for sequence, temporal, time series databases which can accurately and efficiently find the similarity between user transactions in the given database to predict the user behavior. The distribution of items present in the transactions contributes to a great extent in finding the degree of similarity between them. This forms the key idea of the proposed similarity measure. The main objective of the research is to first design the efficient similarity measure which essentially considers the distribution of the items in the item set over the entire transaction data set and also considers the commonality of items present in the transactions, which is the major drawback in the Jaccard, Cosine, Euclidean similarity measures. We then carry out the analysis for worst case, the average case and best case situations. The Similarity measure designed is Gaussian based and preserves the properties of Gaussian function. The proposed similarity measure may be used to both cluster and classify the user transactions and predict the user behaviors.

description: A geometry of superspace corresponding to double field theory is developed, with type II supergravity in D=10 as the main example. The formalism is based on an orthosymplectic extension OSp(d,d|2s) of the continuous T-duality group. Covariance under generalised super-diffeomorphisms is manifest. Ordinary superspace is obtained as a solution of the orthosymplectic section condition. A systematic study of curved superspace Bianchi identities is performed, and a relation to a double pure spinor superfield cohomology is established. A Ramond-Ramond superfield is constructed as an infinite-dimensional orthosymplectic spinor. Such objects in minimal orbits under the OSp supergroup ("pure spinors") define super-sections.

description: It is known by now that amorphous solids at zero temperature do not possess a nonlinear elasticity theory: besides the shear modulus which exists, all the higher order coefficients do not exist in the thermodynamic limit. Here we show that the same phenomenon persists up to temperatures comparable to the glass transition. The zero temperature mechanism due to the prevalence of dangerous plastic modes of the Hessian matrix is replaced by anomalous stress fluctuations that lead to the divergence of the variances of the higher order elastic coefficients. The conclusion is that in amorphous solids elasticity can never be decoupled from plasticity: the nonlinear response is very substantially plastic.

description: A presente proposta de pesquisa tem uma abordagem dialógica entre os estudos decoloniais e questões étnico-raciais a partir de dois espetáculos teatrais maranhenses, são eles: O Miolo da Estória e Maria Firmina dos Reis – uma voz além do tempo. Este projeto de doutorado pretende investigar poéticas teatrais realizadas na capital maranhense atualmente que rompem com estruturas coloniais através de seus métodos. Para alcançar este objetivo, pretendo investigar os procedimentos de criação do primeiro espetáculo que possui nas suas poéticas dramatúrgicas elementos da cultura popular local como o Bumba meu boi e do segundo espetáculo que traz questões étnicos-raciais ao criticar o racismo estrutural do século XXI. Como proposta metodológica, farei uso do método do Estudo de Caso Único com múltiplas unidades de análises entendendo que o cenário teatral de São Luís é o caso a ser estudado e os dois espetáculos selecionados, as unidades de análises. Como ferramentas, proponho o uso de entrevistas com perguntas semiestruturadas e análise documental sobre os registros de criação destes espetáculos. Com base nesta investigação pretendo responder a seguinte questão: o cenário teatral ludovicense contemporânea está passando por mudanças estéticas derivada de perspectivas decoloniais?

 dispositivos eletrônicos de mediação. Portanto, a intenção desta pesquisa é investigar o processo de identificação dos
 elementos dramáticos da cena teatral por parte dos espectadores dos espetáculos
 ludovicenses que estejam apresentando nas plataformas digitais durante a pandemia,
 sem desconsiderar as investigações já realizadas antes da pandemia e também sem
 perder de vista os processos de identificação destes espectadores sem estes recursos
 tecnológicos de mediação. Para alcançar este objetivo será utilizado o método de
 Estudo de Caso Exploratório para o entendimento do processo individual de
 identificação dos elementos dramáticos de cada espectador envolvido nesta pesquisa

 está pautada em estudiosos da percepção, recepção teatral, teatro dramático e
 teatrologia.

Year: 2023

To mitigate the data transmission burden, an new memory event-trigger scheme is developed for the load frequency control (LFC) of multi-area networked power systems with the integration of various new energy sources. Hinfinity stability criteria under less conservative conditions are established by utilizing an improved Lyapunov stability theory and a second-order Bessel-Legendre (B-L) inequality for the LFC power system using the presented memory event-trigger scheme. Simulation on a two-area LFC system and IEEE-39 bus station test system are performed to validate the proposed method.

description: Do people know when they act freely and autonomously versus when their actions are influenced? While the human aspiration to freedom is widespread, little research has investigated how people perceive whether their choices are biased. Here, we explored how actions congruent or incongruent with suggestions are perceived as influenced or free. Across three experiments, participants saw directional stimuli cueing left or right manual responses. They were instructed to follow the cue's suggestion, oppose it or ignore it entirely to make a ‘free’ choice. We found that we could bias participants' ‘free responses’ towards adherence or opposition, by making one instruction more frequent than the other. Strikingly, participants consistently reported feeling less influenced by cues to which they responded incongruently, even when response habits effectively biased them towards such opposition behaviour. This effect was so compelling that cues that were frequently presented with the Oppose instruction became systematically judged as having less influence on behaviour, artificially increasing the sense of freedom of choice. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that acting contrarian distorts the perception of autonomy. Crucially, we demonstrate the existence of a novel illusion of freedom evoked by trained opposition. Our results have important implications for understanding mechanisms of persuasion.

Compositional Attributes of the Deep Continental Crust Inferred From Geochemical and Geophysical Data

description: This study provides a global assessment of the abundance of the major oxides in the deep continental crust. The combination of geochemistry and seismology better constrains the composition of the middle and lower continental crust better than either discipline can achieve alone. The inaccessible nature of the deep crust (typically >15 km) forces reliance on analog samples and modeling results to interpret its bulk composition, evolution, and physical properties. A common practice relates major oxide compositions of small- to medium-scale samples (e.g., medium to high metamorphic grade terrains and xenoliths) to large scale measurements of seismic velocities (Vp, Vs, Vp/Vs) to determine the composition of the deep crust. We provide a framework for building crustal models with multidisciplinary constraints on composition. We present a global deep crustal model that documents compositional changes with depth and accounts for uncertainties in Moho depth, temperature, and physical and chemical properties. Our 3D compositional model of the deep crust uses the USGS Global Seismic Structure Catalog (Mooney, 2015) and a compilation of geochemical analyses on amphibolite and granulite facies lithologies (Sammon & McDonough, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021JB022791). We find a SiO2 gradient from 61.2 ± 7.3 to 53.3 ± 4.8 wt.% from the middle to the base of the crust, with the equivalent lithological gradient ranging from quartz monzonite to gabbronorite. In addition, we calculate trace element abundances as a function of depth from their correlations with major oxides. From here, other lithospheric properties, such as Moho heat flux (urn:x-wiley:21699313:media:jgrb55765:jgrb55765-math-0001 mW/m2), are derived.
Variability of Hydration Across the Southern Hemisphere of the Moon as Observed by Deep Impact

description: Measurements of the 3 μm absorption feature, associated with the presence of hydroxyl and potentially molecular water, were first observed in 2009 by three separate spacecraft’ observations. Subsequent observations have revealed widespread but variable hydration over the sunlit regions of the Moon. The variability can help to disentangle the individual contributions of OH and H2O to the 3 μm absorption feature and provide insight into the mechanism of production and loss of OH/H2O on the lunar surface. We investigate the spatial and diurnal variations of hydration on the southern hemisphere of the Moon as observed by the Deep Impact spacecraft during the lunar flybys in 2009 at spatial scales of 30–70 km/pixel. For a subset of observations of across the lunar south polar region (∼2% of the lunar surface), repeat coverage includes three different times spanning half a lunar day, allowing for exploration of diurnal variability. We determine that OH/H2O is widespread but variable across the lunar south pole. At all but the lowest temperatures observed, highland regions have stronger hydration absorption features than the maria. Changes in band strength demonstrate variable loss rates controlled by surface temperatures with H2O lost quicker at higher temperatures. Observed variability in the band shape strongly suggests higher H2O abundance at low temperatures. These observations are strong evidence that the unique shape of the 3 μm band is due to both OH and H2O. The rapid diurnal evolution of the absorption feature implies that migration of these constituents occurs locally over short distances driven by temperature changes.

description: This study presents a simulation of a social dilemma game, where a group of ten agents repeatedly decide whether to cooperate or compete. The game parameters include the number of agents, the number of iterations, and the probabilities of cooperation and competition. The initial payoffs are randomly assigned to each agent. The simulation calculates the payoffs for each agent based on their own behaviour and the behaviour of others in the same round. The results show the payoffs and behaviours of each agent over time, revealing how individual behaviour and group dynamics evolve in the social dilemma game. This simulation can be used to study cooperation and competition in various social contexts and to explore strategies for promoting cooperation.

description: In response to some resource inequalities, children give priority to moral concerns. Yet, in others, children show ingroup preferences in their evaluations and resource allocations. The present study built upon this knowledge by investigating children's and young adults’ (N = 144; 5–6-year-olds, Mage = 5.83, SDage = .97; 9–11-year-olds, Mage = 10.74, SDage = .68; and young adults, Mage = 19.92, SDage = 1.10) evaluations and allocation decisions in a science inequality context. Participants viewed vignettes in which male and female groups received unequal amounts of science supplies, then evaluated the acceptability of the resource inequalities, allocated new boxes of science supplies between the groups, and provided justifications for their choices. Results revealed both children and young adults evaluated inequalities of science resources less negatively when girls were disadvantaged than when boys were disadvantaged. Further, 5- to 6-year-old participants and male participants rectified science resource inequalities to a greater extent when the inequality disadvantaged boys compared to when it disadvantaged girls. Generally, participants who used moral reasoning to justify their responses negatively evaluated and rectified the resource inequalities, whereas participants who used group-focused reasoning positively evaluated and perpetuated the inequalities, though some age and participant gender findings emerged. Together, these findings reveal subtle gender biases that may contribute to perpetuating gender-based science inequalities both in childhood and adulthood.
Beam Instabilities

description: When a beam propagates in an accelerator, it interacts with both the external fields and the self-generated electromagnetic fields. If the latter are strong enough, the interplay between them and a perturbation in the beam distribution function can lead to an enhancement of the initial perturbation, resulting in what we call a beam instability. This unstable motion can be controlled with a feedback system, if available, or it grows, causing beam degradation and loss. Beam instabilities in particle accelerators have been studied and analysed in detail since the late 1950s. The subject owes its relevance to the fact that the onset of instabilities usually determines the performance of an accelerator. Understanding and suppressing the underlying sources and mechanisms is therefore the key to overcoming intensity limitations, thereby pushing forward the performance reach of a machine.

Pion and $η$-meson mass splitting at the two-flavour chiral crossover
Creators: name: Heller, Markus

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the splitting in the screening mass of pions and the $η$-meson across the chiral crossover. This splitting is determined by the 't Hooft determinant. We use results for the renormalisation group scale dependence of the 't Hooft determinant obtained within the functional renomalisation group in quenched QCD with two flavours. The scale dependence of the 't Hooft determinant is mapped to its temperature dependence with the help of a Polyakov-quark-meson model. As a result we obtain the temperature dependence of the splitting in the screening mass of pions and the $η$-meson.
The MV Model of the Color Glass Condensate for a Finite Number of Sources Including Coulomb Interactions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We modify the McLerran-Venugopalan model to include only a finite number of sources of color charge. We argue that Coulombic interactions between these color charges generates a source-source correlation function that properly includes the effects of color charge screening, a generalization of Debye screening for the Color Glass Condensate. Such a model may be useful for computing angular harmonics of flow measured in high energy hadron collisions for small systems. In this paper we provide a basic formulation of the problem on a lattice.

description: In September 2009, Thomson Reuters (TR) discontinued its practice of relying on analysts to determine the treatment of unexpected charges and gains in favor of their immediate exclusion from GAAP earnings. Adopting a difference-in-differences approach, we show that this plausibly exogenous change in TR's methodology resulted in street earnings that are more predictive of future performance; and timelier, more accurate, and less dispersed analyst forecasts of future earnings, consistent with TR enhancing the properties of street earnings and analyst forecasts. Finally, using path analysis we show that a significant portion of TR's effect on price discovery is through its effect on analysts; and that the change in TR's treatment of unexpected items increased (decreased) the relative influence of TR (analysts) on the pricing of street earnings. We conclude that forecast data providers like TR are more than a conduit of information from analysts to investors.
Can disease resistance evolve independently at different ages? Genetic variation in age-dependent resistance to disease in three wild plant species

description: Juveniles are typically less resistant (more susceptible) to infectious disease than adults, and this difference in susceptibility can help fuel the spread of pathogens in age-structured populations. However, evolutionary explanations for this variation in resistance across age remain to be tested. One hypothesis is that natural selection has optimized resistance to peak at ages where disease exposure is greatest. A central assumption of this hypothesis is that hosts have the capacity to evolve resistance independently at different ages. This would mean that host populations have (a) standing genetic variation in resistance at both juvenile and adult stages, and (b) that this variation is not strongly correlated between age classes so that selection acting at one age does not produce a correlated response at the other age. Here we evaluated the capacity of three wild plant species (Silene latifolia, S. vulgaris and Dianthus pavonius) to evolve resistance to their anther-smut pathogens (Microbotryum fungi), independently at different ages. The pathogen is pollinator transmitted, and thus exposure risk is considered to be highest at the adult flowering stage. Within each species we grew families to different ages, inoculated individuals with anther smut, and evaluated the effects of age, family and their interaction on infection. In two of the plant species, S. latifolia and D. pavonius, resistance to smut at the juvenile stage was not correlated with resistance to smut at the adult stage. In all three species, we show there are significant age × family interaction effects, indicating that age specificity of resistance varies among the plant families. Synthesis. These results indicate that different mechanisms likely underlie resistance at juvenile and adult stages and support the hypothesis that resistance can evolve independently in response to differing selection pressures as hosts age. Taken together our results provide new insight into the structure of genetic variation in age-dependent resistance in three well-studied wild host–pathogen systems.
A Monte Carlo method for critical systems in infinite volume: the planar Ising model

description: In this paper we propose a Monte Carlo method for generating finite-domain marginals of critical distributions of statistical models in infinite volume. The algorithm corrects the problem of the long-range effects of boundaries associated to generating critical distributions on finite lattices. It uses the advantage of scale invariance combined with ideas of the renormalization group in order to construct a type of "holographic" boundary condition that encodes the presence of an infinite volume beyond it. We check the quality of the distribution obtained in the case of the planar Ising model by comparing various observables with their infinite-plane prediction. We accurately reproduce planar two-, three- and four-point functions of spin and energy operators. We also define a lattice stress-energy tensor, and numerically obtain the associated conformal Ward identities and the Ising central charge.

description: Institutional rearing negatively impacts the development of children's social skills and executive functions (EF). However, little is known about whether childhood social skills mediate the effects of the foster care intervention (FCG) and foster caregiving quality following early institutional rearing on EF and social skills in adolescence. We examined (a) whether children's social skills at 8 years mediate the impact of the FCG on the development of EF at ages 12 and 16 years, and (b) whether social skills and EF at ages 8 and 12 mediate the relation between caregiving quality in foster care at 42 months and subsequent social skills and EF at age 16. Participants included abandoned children from Romanian institutions, who were randomly assigned to a FCG (n = 68) or care as usual (n = 68), and a never-institutionalized group (n = 135). At ages 8, 12, and 16, social skills were assessed via caregiver and teacher reports and EF were assessed via the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery. Caregiving quality of foster caregivers was observed at 42 months. FCG predicted better social skills at 8 years, which in turn predicted better EF in adolescence. Higher caregiver quality in foster care at 42 months predicted better social skills at 8 and 12 years, and better EF at 12 years, which in turn predicted 16-year EF and social skills. These findings suggest that interventions targeting caregiving quality within foster care home environments may have long-lasting positive effects on children's social skills and EF.
