The degenerate 3-band Hubbard model with "anti-Hund's rule" interactions; a model for AxC60

description: We consider the orbitally degenerate 3-band Hubbard model with on-site interactions which favor low spin and low orbital angular momentum using standard second order perturbation theory in the large Hubbard-U limit. At even integer filling this model is a Mott insulator with a non-degenerate ground state that allows for a simple description of particle-hole excitations as well as gapped spin and orbital modes. We find that the Mott gap is generally indirect and that the single particle spectrum at low doping reappears close to even filling but rescaled by a factor 2/3 or 1/3. The model captures the basic phenomenology of the Mott insulating and metallic fullerides AxC60. This includes the existence of a smaller spin gap and larger charge gap at even integer filling, the fact that odd integer stoichiometries are generally metallic while even are insulating, as well as the rapid suppression of the density of states and superconducting transition temperatures with doping away from x=3.

description: In this paper, we study the spectrality of infinite convolutions in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where the spectrality means the corresponding square integrable function space admits a family of exponential functions as an orthonormal basis. Suppose that the infinite convolutions are generated by a sequence of admissible pairs in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We give two sufficient conditions for their spectrality by using the equi-positivity condition and the integral periodic zero set of Fourier transform. By applying these results, we show the spectrality of some specific infinite convolutions in $\mathbb{R}^d$.

description: Two dimensional topological superconductors (TS) host chiral Majorana modes (MMs) localized at the boundaries. In this work, within quasiclassical approximation we study the effect of disorder on the localization length of MMs in two dimensional spin-orbit (SO) coupled superconductors. We find nonmonotonic behavior of the Majorana localization length as a function of disorder strength. At weak disorder, the Majorana localization length decreases with an increasing disorder strength. Decreasing the disorder scattering time below a critical value $τ_c$, the Majorana localization length starts to increase. The critical scattering time depends on the relative magnitudes of the two ingredients behind TS: SO coupling and exchange field. For dominating SO coupling, $τ_c$ is small and vice versa for the dominating exchange field.

description: European higher education institutions (HEIs) in the last two decades have faced a number of challenges: reduced public funding, increased competition from foreign and private universities, constant pressures and demands for their greater quality, and constant changes of education laws and legal regulations. The only way for fast adjustment of HEIs to the new competitive conditions is to explore all possibilities for effective implementation of some of the most popular management concepts such as Balanced Scorecard (BSC) system. Although the application of the BSC in the business sector is well documented, limited research has been reported regarding the application of the BSC in the education sector. For this purpose, relied on the existing literature, reported results and experiences from its implementation in business, firstly, we propose a suitable process for building a BSC system for HEI, and then we design a specific Strategy map and BSC system applicable for the Faculty of Economics-Skopje, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, easily adaptable for implementation in other HEIs.

description: Explainable AI (XAI) is widely viewed as a sine qua non for ever-expanding AI research. A better understanding of the needs of XAI users, as well as human-centered evaluations of explainable models are both a necessity and a challenge. In this paper, we explore how HCI and AI researchers conduct user studies in XAI applications based on a systematic literature review. After identifying and thoroughly analyzing 97core papers with human-based XAI evaluations over the past five years, we categorize them along the measured characteristics of explanatory methods, namely trust, understanding, usability, and human-AI collaboration performance. Our research shows that XAI is spreading more rapidly in certain application domains, such as recommender systems than in others, but that user evaluations are still rather sparse and incorporate hardly any insights from cognitive or social sciences. Based on a comprehensive discussion of best practices, i.e., common models, design choices, and measures in user studies, we propose practical guidelines on designing and conducting user studies for XAI researchers and practitioners. Lastly, this survey also highlights several open research directions, particularly linking psychological science and human-centered XAI.

description: This paper is a continuation of our previous analysis [BBCKK] of partition functions zeros in models with first-order phase transitions and periodic boundary conditions. Here it is shown that the assumptions under which the results of [BBCKK] were established are satisfied by a large class of lattice models. These models are characterized by two basic properties: The existence of only a finite number of ground states and the availability of an appropriate contour representation. This setting includes, for instance, the Ising, Potts and Blume-Capel models at low temperatures. The combined results of [BBCKK] and the present paper provide complete control of the zeros of the partition function with periodic boundary conditions for all models in the above class.

Peer review and authority in scientific research

description: This paper studies the historical and philosophical roots of the current system of anonymous peer review in the field of scientific research. Using the intellectual disputes between the experimentalist Robert Boyle and the philosopher Thomas Hobbes in the late 17th century to frame opposing views of the structure and role of such review in the natural sciences, the paper argues that present attempts to refashion the prevailing environment of peer review – specifically through the use of open review models – can result in greater transparency and credibility in research, which in turn lends greater authority to the results of such work.
The Nexus of Fundamental Macroeconomics Factors and Brain Drain in Malaysia

Subjects: Economics

description: Brain drain is not only an issue in Malaysia but also known globally. The definition of brain drain is the highly trained emigration people from a country into another country where they could find a better opportunity. The rapid growth in the past has brought Malaysia to its present state that it is now a middle-income nation and has caused the skilled people the urge for a better standard of living, better hospitality and other general needs which will benefit them with direct impacts onto the labour market. Usually, these people feel like they could have a better life elsewhere once they are highly educated. Because most of the educated and intelligent people leave Malaysia, the country will face difficulties in maintaining a high intellectual standard because these people are the key to create a more educated and professional society. Therefore, this study will address the pulling factors of macroeconomic fundamentals of host countries on brain drain from Malaysia. The objectives of this study are to determine the pulling effect and examine the gender differences of macroeconomic fundamentals on brain drain in Malaysia.

description: We present HST photometry of 17 Cepheids in open clusters and their mean parallaxes from Gaia EDR3. These parallaxes are more precise than those from individual Cepheids (G<8 mag) previously used to measure the Hubble constant because they are derived from an average of >300 stars per cluster. Cluster parallaxes also have smaller systematic uncertainty because their stars lie in the range (G>13 mag) where the Gaia parallax calibration is most comprehensive. Cepheid photometry employed in the period--luminosity relation was measured using the same instrument(WFC3) and filters(F555W,F814W,F160W) as extragalactic Cepheids in SNIa hosts. We find no evidence of residual parallax offset in this magnitude range, zp=-3+/-4 muas, consistent with Lindegren:2021b and most studies. The Cepheid luminosity (P=10d, solar-metallicity) in the HST near-infrared, Wesenheit system derived from the cluster sample is M_{H,1}^W=-5.902+/-0.025 and -5.890+/-0.018 mag with or without simultaneous determination of a parallax offset, respectively. These results are similar to measurements from field Cepheids, confirming the accuracy of the Gaia parallaxes over a broad range of magnitudes. The SH0ES distance ladder calibrated solely from this sample gives H_0=72.8+/-1.3 and H_0=73.2+/-1.1 km/s/Mpc with or without offset marginalization; combined with all anchors we find H_0=73.01+/-0.99 and 73.15+/-0.97, respectively, a 5% or 7% reduction in the uncertainty and a 5.3 sigma Hubble Tension relative to Planck+LambdaCDM. It appears increasingly difficult to reconcile two of the best measured cosmic scales, parallaxes from Gaia and the angular size of the acoustic scale of the CMB, using the simplest form of LambdaCDM to join the two.

description: The Atiyah conjecture for a discrete group G states that the $L^2$-Betti numbers of a finite CW-complex with fundamental group G are integers if G is torsion-free and are rational with denominators determined by the finite subgroups of G in general. Here we establish conditions under which the Atiyah conjecture for a group G implies the Atiyah conjecture for every finite extension of G. The most important requirement is that the cohomology $H^*(G,\mathbb{Z}/p)$ is isomorphic to the cohomology of the p-adic completion of G for every prime p. An additional assumption is necessary, e.g. that the quotients of the lower central series or of the derived series are torsion-free. We prove that these conditions are fulfilled for a class of groups which contains Artin's pure braid groups, free groups, surfaces groups, certain link groups and one-relator groups. Therefore every finite, in fact every elementary amenable extension of these groups satisfies the Atiyah conjecture. In the course of the proof we prove that if these extensions are torsion-free, then they have plenty of non-trivial torsion-free quotients which are virtually nilpotent. All of this applies in particular to Artin's full braid group, therefore answering question B6 on http://www.grouptheory.info . Our methods also apply to the Baum-Connes conjecture. This is discussed in arXiv:math/0209165 "Finite group extensions and the Baum-Connes conjecture", where the Baum-Connes conjecture is proved e.g. for the full braid group.

description: The world economy was characterized by the continuous increase of international trade and international investments flows in the second half of the twentieth century and by intertwining of these flows especially in the period after 1990s. The aim of the paper is to show that there are mutual relationship, interconnection and intertwining of international trade flows and investment flows in the post-crisis period as well as in the period before the 2008 crisis. The post-crisis period has brought the recovery of both international trade flows and international investment flows and their higher levels. These developments haven’t changed the fact that, the same as in the period before the crisis, international trade flows continue to perform increasingly more through investments flows, that is through foreign affiliates’ sales, then through classic, cross-border trade. The sales through foreign affiliates remain the main channel of international trading. In this situation, only the approach that means the new coverage implementation of international trade flows will lead us to the real international trade values and international trade picture. If we look for the impetus and drivers of the economic growth in trade and investments flows, then we must take into account the connection and intertwining of these two types of flows in order to have a real picture of them and make adequate decisions in the field of investment, trade and economic policy.

A Precise Analytical Approximation for the Deprojection of the Sérsic Profile

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The Sérsic model is known to fit well the surface brightness (or surface density) profiles of elliptical galaxies and galaxy bulges, and possibly for dwarf spheroidal galaxies and globular clusters. The deprojected density and mass profiles are important for many astrophysical applications, in particular for mass-orbit modeling of these systems. However, the exact deprojection formula for the Sérsic model employs special functions not available in most computer languages. We show that all previous analytical approximations to the 3D density profile are imprecise at low Sérsic index ($n \lesssim 1.5$). We have derived a more precise analytical approximation to the deprojected Sérsic density profile by fitting two-dimensional 10th-order polynomials to the differences of the logarithms of the numerical deprojection and of the analytical approximation by Lima Neto et al. (1999, LGM) of the density profile on one hand and of the mass profile on the other. Our LGM-based polynomial fits have typical relative precision better than $0.2\%$ for both density and mass profiles, for Sérsic indices $0.5 \leq n \leq 10$ and radii $0.001 < r/R_{\rm e} < 1000$. Our approximation is much more precise than those of LGM, Simonneau & Prada (1999, 2004), Trujillo et al. (2002) for non-half-integer values of the index, and of Emsellem & van de Ven (2008) for non-one-tenth-integer values with $n \lesssim 3$, and are nevertheless more than $0.2\%$ precise for larger Sérsic indices, for both density and mass profiles. An appendix compares the deprojected Sérsic profiles with those of the popular simple models from Plummer (1911), Jaffe (1983), Hernquist (1990), Navarro et al. (1996), and Einasto (1965).

description: When developing countries begin to raise the trajectory of long-term development, interest rates and local currencies grow higher. An increase in the real cost of capital, a decline in investment demands, as the IS-LM model envisages, may jeopardize growth. Can the interest rate policy be used to efficiently manage aggregate demand to sustain the initiated growth? It has proved quite successful at higher interest rate policy levels of development. In underdeveloped countries, this is not the case. Developing countries largely fail to succeed in ensuring the full operation of market mechanisms. Their financial market is underdeveloped, capital demand is chronically high, and therefore the manipulation of the discount rate is of little use. In recession, manipulating government expenditures, implementing deficit financing and controlling private and public consumption prove to be more efficient anti-recession instruments. Economic policy ought to provide a favorable environment for achieving developmental objectives: relative price stability and favorable interest rates. Underdeveloped countries need to control, channel and impose certain restrictions. The liberalization of capital transactions must not precede full convertibility of the local currency
Celestial Mellin Amplitude

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Celestial holography provides a promising avenue to studying bulk scattering in flat spacetime from the perspective of boundary celestial conformal field theory (CCFT). A key ingredient in connecting the two sides is the celestial amplitude, which is given by the Mellin transform of momentum space scattering amplitude in energy. As such, celestial amplitudes can be identified with the correlation functions in celestial conformal field theory. In this paper, we introduce the further notion of celestial Mellin amplitude, which is given by the Mellin transform of celestial amplitude in coordinate. For technical reasons, we focus on the celestial Mellin amplitudes for scalar fields in three dimensional flat spacetime dual to 1D CCFT, and discuss the celestial Mellin block expansion. In particular, the poles of the celestial Mellin amplitude encode the scaling dimensions of the possible exchanged operators, while the residues there are related to the OPE coefficient squares in a linear and explicit way. We also compare the celestial Mellin amplitudes with the coefficient functions which can be obtained using inversion formulae. Finally, we make some comments about the possible generalizations of celestial Mellin amplitudes to higher dimensions.

HI filaments are cold and associated with dark molecular gas. HI4PI based estimates of the local diffuse CO-dark H2 distribution

description: Context. There are significant amounts of H2 in the Milky Way. Due to its symmetry H2 does not radiate at radio frequencies. CO is thought to be a tracer for H2, however CO is formed at significantly higher opacities than H2. Thus, toward high Galactic latitudes significant amounts of H2 are hidden and called CO-dark. Aims. We demonstrate that the dust-to-gas ratio is a tool to identify locations and column densities of CO-dark H2. Methods. We adopt the hypothesis of a constant E(B-V)/NH ratio, independent of phase transitions from HI to H2. We investigate the Doppler temperatures TD, from a Gaussian decomposition of HI4PI data, to study temperature dependencies of E(B-V)/NHI. Results. The E(B-V)/NHI ratio in the cold HI gas phase is high in comparison to the warmer one. We consider this as evidence that cold HI gas toward high Galactic latitudes is associated with H2. Beyond CO-bright regions we find for TD < 1165 K a correlation (NHI + 2NH2 )/NHI prop -log T_D. In combination with a factor XCO = 4.0 10 20 cm^-2 (K km s^-1 )-1 this yields for the full-sky NH /E(B-V) sim 5.1 to 6.7 10^21 cm^-2 mag^-1, compatible with X-ray scattering and UV absorption line observations. Conclusions. Cold HI with T_D < 1165 K contains on average 46% CO-dark H2. Prominent filaments have TD < 220 K and typical excitation temperatures Tex sim 50 K. With a molecular gas fraction of > 61% they are dominated dynamically by H2.

description: The experimental study of magnetic flux penetration under crossed magnetic fields in Bi2212:Pb single crystal performed by magnetooptic technique (MO) reveals remarkable field penetration pattern alteration (flux configuration change) and superconducting current anisotropy enhancement by the in-plane field. The anisotropy increases with the temperature rise up to $T_m = 54 \pm 2 K$. At $T = T_m$ an abrupt change in the flux behavior is found; the correlation between the in-plane magnetic field and the out-of-plane magnetic flux penetration disappears. No correlation is observed for $T > T_m$. The transition temperature $T_m$ does not depend on the magnetic field strength. The observed flux penetration anisotropy is considered as an evidence of a strong 3D - correlation between pancake vortices in different CuO planes at $T < T_m$. This enables understanding of a remarkable pinning observed in Bi2212:Pb at low temperatures.

The Relative Importance of Thermal Gas, Radiation, and Magnetic Pressures Around Star-Forming Regions in Normal Galaxies and Dusty Starbursts
Creators: name: Murphy, Eric J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, an investigation on the relative importance of the thermal gas, radiation, and (minimum-energy) magnetic pressures around $\approx$200 star-forming regions in a sample of nearby normal and luminous infrared galaxies is presented. Given the range of galaxy distances, pressure estimates are made on spatial scales spanning $\sim$0.1$-3$kpc. The ratio of thermal gas-to-radiation pressures does not appear to significantly depend on star formation rate surface density ($Σ_{\rm SFR}$), but exhibits a steady decrease with increasing physical size of the aperture over which the quantities are measured. The ratio of magnetic-to-radiation pressures appears to be relatively flat as a function of $Σ_{\rm SFR}$ and similar in value for both nuclear and extranuclear regions, but unlike the ratio of thermal gas-to-radiation pressures, exhibits a steady increase with increasing aperture size. Furthermore, it seems that the magnetic pressure is typically weaker than the radiation pressure on sub-kpc scales, and only starts to play a significant role on few-kpc scales. When the internal pressure terms are summed, their ratio to the ($Σ_{\rm SFR}$-inferred) kpc-scale dynamical equilibrium pressure estimates is roughly constant. Consequently, it appears that the physical area of the galaxy disk, and not necessarily environment (e.g., nuclear vs. extranuclear regions) or star formation activity, may play the dominant role in determining which pressure term is most active around star-forming regions. These results are consistent with a scenario in which a combination of processes acting primarily on different physical scales work collectively to regulate the star formation process in galaxy disks.

Three-dimensional simulations of the interstellar medium in dwarf galaxies - I. Ram pressure stripping

description: We present 3D hydrodynamic simulations of ram pressure stripping in dwarf galaxies. Analogous studies on this subject usually deal with much higher ram pressures, typical of galaxy clusters, or mild ram pressure due to the gas halo of the massive galactic companions. We extend over previous investigations by considering flattened, rotating dwarf galaxies subject to ram pressures typical of poor galaxy groups. We study the ram pressure effects as a function of several parameters such as galactic mass and velocity, ambient gas density, and angle between the galactic plane and the direction of motion. It turns out that this latter parameter plays a role only when the gas pressure in the galactic centre is comparable to the ram pressure. Despite the low values of the ram pressure, some dwarf galaxies can be completely stripped after 1-2 hundred of million years. This pose an interesting question on the aspect of the descents and, more in general, on the morphological evolution of dwarf galaxies. In cases in which the gas is not completely stripped, the propagation of possible galactic wind may be influenced by the disturbed distribution of the interstellar matter. We also consider the modification of the ISM surface density induced by the ram pessure and find that the resulting compression may trigger star formation over long time spans.

description: We present 1 to 10GHz radio continuum flux density, spectral index, polarisation and Rotation Measure (RM) images of the youngest known Galactic Supernova Remnant (SNR) G1.9+0.3, using observations from the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). We have conducted an expansion study spanning 8 epochs between 1984 and 2017, yielding results consistent with previous expansion studies of G1.9+0.3. We find a mean radio continuum expansion rate of ($0.78 \pm 0.09$) per cent year$^{-1}$ (or $\sim8900$ km s$^{-1}$ at an assumed distance of 8.5 kpc), although the expansion rate varies across the SNR perimeter. In the case of the most recent epoch between 2016 and 2017, we observe faster-than-expected expansion of the northern region. We find a global spectral index for G1.9+0.3 of $-0.81\pm0.02$ (76 MHz$-$10 GHz). Towards the northern region, however, the radio spectrum is observed to steepen significantly ($\sim -$1). Towards the two so called (east & west) "ears" of G1.9+0.3, we find very different RM values of 400-600 rad m$^{2}$ and 100-200 rad m$^{2}$ respectively. The fractional polarisation of the radio continuum emission reaches (19 $\pm$ 2)~per~cent, consistent with other, slightly older, SNRs such as Cas~A.

title: The Use Of Consumer Knowledge, Beliefs And Attitudes In The Development Of A Local Authority Strategy For Domestic Food Hygiene Education
Creators: name: Mathias, Kathryn Anne
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: The aim of this investigation was to evaluate knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of domestic food handlers in Port Talbot by means of questionnaires and use the information gained to formulate a local authority health education strategy.

 Survey 1 looked at the food hygiene knowledge and practices of 88 residents in such areas as temperature control, cooking and cross contamination. Whilst people had a sound knowledge of how to prepare safe food, there were areas in which knowledge was lacking, e.g. - only 14% thawed meat in the refrigerator and 35% put food in the refrigerator wherever there was space.

 Survey 2 looked at the food hygiene beliefs of 109 residents. Handwashing was a common belief with 74% listing it as something they could do to make food safe. However only 14% identified defrosting thoroughly and only 4% listed changing dishcloths regularly.

 Survey 3 looked at the attitude of 64 residents to food hygiene. Generally respondents demonstrated a positive attitude with 92% acknowledging that good food hygiene will prevent food poisoning. However 20% did not see the home environment as having the potential to cause food poisoning. There was no significant difference in attitude between male and female, younger and older respondents or those with or without food hygiene training.

 The surveys also included questions as to where respondents would go for food hygiene information. One of the areas identified was the mass media. To identify their role in imparting food hygiene information a survey was carried out. Several areas of the mass media were examined including magazines and television cookery programmes. The results indicated the mass media to be an underutilized source of information.

 The information gained from the surveys was then used to inform a health education strategy for food hygiene that could be used by a local authority.
Academic writing at a crossroads : implications for teaching and writing
Creators: name: Baxter, Danielle
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: With the advent of widely available electronic access to scholarly journals, scholarly academic writing has become a staple teaching resource in university courses across many disciplines. This has benefits for both students and faculty, but various characteristics of academic writing as a genre may make it poorly suited for intensive use as a teaching resource, ill serving students as readers and as learners of both their discipline and the craft of writing. A review of a range of literature, on academic writing as a genre, on adult learners, and on human cognition, helps to explain the genre’s weaknesses as educational material. Looking critically at the genre of academic writing, this paper explores how and why it often fails to meet students’ cognitive needs. Finally, it considers how scholarly writers and publishers might seize the moment to make some shifts in the form and priorities of their genre, in keeping with its evolving position and uses in the academy.

The classical index formulae for Todd genus, Euler number, and Signature correspond to the case when the complex variable $y=$ 0, -1, and 1 respectively. Here we give a {\it direct} derivation of this nice formula based on supersymmetric quantum mechanics.

Emotion Recognition with Spatial Attention and Temporal Softmax Pooling

description: Video-based emotion recognition is a challenging task because it requires to distinguish the small deformations of the human face that represent emotions, while being invariant to stronger visual differences due to different identities. State-of-the-art methods normally use complex deep learning models such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs, LSTMs, GRUs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs, C3D, residual networks) and their combination. In this paper, we propose a simpler approach that combines a CNN pre-trained on a public dataset of facial images with (1) a spatial attention mechanism, to localize the most important regions of the face for a given emotion, and (2) temporal softmax pooling, to select the most important frames of the given video. Results on the challenging EmotiW dataset show that this approach can achieve higher accuracy than more complex approaches.

description: Quantum-correlated twin beams were generated from a triply resonant optical parametric oscillator with an a-cut KTP crystal pumped by a frequency-doubled diode laser. A total output of 5.1 mW was obtained in the classical-to-nonclassical-light conversion system driven by a 50-mW diode laser at 1080 nm. Quantum noise reduction of 4.3 dB (63%) in the intensity difference between the twin beams was successfully observed at the detection frequency of 3 MHz.

Nonextensivity of the cyclic Lattice Lotka Volterra model

description: We numerically show that the Lattice Lotka-Volterra model, when realized on a square lattice support, gives rise to a {\it finite} production, per unit time, of the nonextensive entropy $S_q= \frac{1- \sum_ip_i^q}{q-1}$ $(S_1=-\sum_i p_i \ln p_i)$. This finiteness only occurs for $q=0.5$ for the $d=2$ growth mode (growing droplet), and for $q=0$ for the $d=1$ one (growing stripe). This strong evidence of nonextensivity is consistent with the spontaneous emergence of local domains of identical particles with fractal boundaries and competing interactions. Such direct evidence is for the first time exhibited for a many-body system which, at the mean field level, is conservative.
