Compassionate Neo-Traditionalism in Hosoda Mamoru’s Animation Movies
Creators: name: Grajdian Maria Mihaela

description: Throughout his activity as an animation director, Hosoda Mamoru tackles important issues of present-day Japan – and of late modernity – with creative acuity and a keen sense of observation. From Digimon: The Movie and ONE PIECE: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island, in which Hosoda rehearses his directing skills in the field of animation by taking over popular and familiar elements from highly successful Japanese franchises and embedding them into a more mature and more profound context of addressing challenging topics, through The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars, in which Hosoda finds his way into the extremely competitive world of the Japanese entertainment industry with original storylines and powerful characters, to Wolf Children with its complex problematic of single motherhood, The Boy and the Beast with its combined topics of runaway children, of absent fathers, and of loss of masculinity addressed in a raw manner, and Mirai, in which Hosoda carefully avoids delving too deeply into the disturbing child-rearing and education politics of Japan, he constantly chooses a narrative of comfortable traditionalism, showing both that he understands Japan’s critical situation and that he does not regard it as his duty to offer alternative solutions, more in tune with the spirit of the 21st century.
Size-selective optical forces for microspheres using evanescent wave excitation of whispering gallery modes

description: We show that when a microsphere is illuminated by an evanescent wave, the optical forces on- and off- whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonance can differ by several orders of magnitude. Such size selective force allows one to selectively manipulate the resonating particles, while leaving those particles at off-resonance untouched. As WGM resonances have very high-Q's, this kind of force could be deployed for size-selective manipulation with a very high accuracy (~1/Q), as well as simultaneous particle-sorting according to their size or resonant frequency.

description: We present a VLT/UVES spectrum of a proximate sub-damped Lyman-alpha (sub-DLA) system at z=2.65618 toward the quasar Q0331-4505 (z_qso=2.6785+/-0.0030). Absorption lines of O I, Si II, Si III, Si IV, C II, C III, C IV, Fe II, Al II, and O VI are seen in the sub-DLA, which has a neutral hydrogen column density log N(H I)=19.82+/-0.05. The absorber is at a velocity of 1820+/-250 km/s from the quasar; however, its low metallicity [O/H]=-1.64+/-0.07, lack of partial coverage, lack of temporal variations between observations taken in 2003 and 2006, and non-detection of N V imply the absorber is not a genuine intrinsic system. By measuring the O VI column density and assuming equal metallicities in the neutral and ionized gas, we determine the column density of hot ionized hydrogen in this sub-DLA, and in two other sub-DLAs with O VI drawn from the literature. Coupling this with determinations of the typical amount of warm ionized hydrogen in sub-DLAs, we confirm that sub-DLAs are a more important metal reservoir than DLAs, in total comprising at least 6-22% of the metal budget at z~2.5.

As an application, we find a finite presentation for the automorphism group Aut A_Gamma that generalizes McCool's presentation for the automorphism group of a finite rank free group. We also give consider a stronger generalization of peak-reduction, giving a counterexample and proving a special case.

Native Indian cultural centres : a planning analysis
Creators: name: Koulas, Heather Marshall
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Native Indian Cultural Centres have grown out of the on-going struggle for native self-determination and are rapidly becoming a focus for native cultural revitalization. This thesis investigates the evolution of two Northwest Coast native Indian cultural centres--the 'Ksan Village and the Makah Cultural and Research Centre (MCRC)—through each stage of development, outlining the historical, cultural, economic and social context, the form and function of conceptual development and the planned and unplanned processes involved in building and operating each centre. Analysis has indicated that 'Ksan and the MCRC have evolved as a response to local cultural and economic pressures and opportunities and have been funded primarily on the basis of economic rather than cultural viability. Six factors were found to be collectively sufficient to promote the successful development of each cultural centre: local cultural knowledge, social mobilization, local project relevance, native Indian control, access to resources and common motivational ground. The relationship between native Indians and non-native specialists is changing. Native people are no longer allowing non-native specialists to define their culture and interpret their heritage and 'Ksan and the MCRC have positively re-inforced that change. The development of native Indian cultural centres has provided an important step in the on-going native struggle for self-determination by providing a focus and/or forum for native cultural identity and is likely to continue in the future.

description: Most cool core clusters of galaxies possess active galactic nuclei (AGN) in their centers. These AGN inflate buoyant bubbles containing non-thermal radio emitting particles. If such bubbles efficiently confine cosmic rays (CR) then this could explain ``radio ghosts'' seen far from cluster centers. We simulate the diffusion of cosmic rays from buoyant bubbles inflated by AGN. Our simulations include the effects of the anisotropic particle diffusion introduced by magnetic fields. Our models are consistent with the X-ray morphology of AGN bubbles, with disruption being suppressed by the magnetic draping effect. We conclude that for such magnetic field topologies, a substantial fraction of cosmic rays can be confined inside the bubbles on buoyant rise timescales even when the parallel diffusivity coefficient is very large. For isotropic diffusion at a comparable level, cosmic rays would leak out of the bubbles too rapidly to be consistent with radio observations. Thus, the long confinement times associated with the magnetic suppression of CR diffusion can explain the presence of radio ghosts. We show that the partial escape of cosmic rays is mostly confined to the wake of the rising bubbles, and speculate that this effect could: (1) account for the excitation of the H$α$ filaments trailing behind the bubbles in the Perseus cluster, (2) inject entropy into the metal enriched material being lifted by the bubbles and, thus, help to displace it permanently from the cluster center and (3) produce observable $γ$-rays via the interaction of the diffusing cosmic rays with the thermal intracluster medium (ICM).

Conductance Fluctuations in Disordered Wires with Perfectly Conducting Channels

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We study conductance fluctuations in disordered quantum wires with unitary symmetry focusing on the case in which the number of conducting channels in one propagating direction is not equal to that in the opposite direction. We consider disordered wires with $N+m$ left-moving channels and $N$ right-moving channels. In this case, $m$ left-moving channels become perfectly conducting, and the dimensionless conductance $g$ for the left-moving channels behaves as $g \to m$ in the long-wire limit. We obtain the variance of $g$ in the diffusive regime by using the Dorokhov-Mello-Pereyra-Kumar equation for transmission eigenvalues. It is shown that the universality of conductance fluctuations breaks down for $m \neq 0$ unless $N$ is very large.

description: BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to quantify the hospital burden of COVID-19 during the first wave and how it changed over calendar time; to interpret the results in light of the emergency measures introduced to manage the strain on secondary healthcare. METHODS: This is a cohort study of hospitalised confirmed cases of COVID-19 admitted from February-June 2020 and followed up till 17th July 2020, analysed using a mixture multi-state model. All hospital patients with confirmed COVID-19 disease in Regione Lombardia were involved, admitted from February-June 2020, with non-missing hospital of admission and non-missing admission date. RESULTS: The cohort consists of 40,550 patients hospitalised during the first wave. These patients had a median age of 69 (interquartile range 56-80) and were more likely to be men (60%) than women (40%). The hospital-fatality risk, averaged over all pathways through hospital, was 27.5% (95% CI 27.1-28.0%); and steadily decreased from 34.6% (32.5-36.6%) in February to 7.6% (6.3-10.6%) in June. Among surviving patients, median length of stay in hospital was 11.8 (11.6-12.3) days, compared to 8.1 (7.8-8.5) days in non-survivors. Averaged over final outcomes, median length of stay in hospital decreased from 21.4 (20.5-22.8) days in February to 5.2 (4.7-5.8) days in June. CONCLUSIONS: The hospital burden, in terms of both risks of poor outcomes and lengths of stay in hospital, has been demonstrated to have decreased over the months of the first wave, perhaps reflecting improved treatment and management of COVID-19 cases, as well as reduced burden as the first wave waned. The quantified burden allows for planning of hospital beds needed for current and future waves of SARS-CoV-2 i.

description: We investigate the interplay between commensurate lock-in and incommensurate supersolid phases of the hardcore bosons at half-filling with anisotropic nearest-neighbor hopping and repulsive interactions on triangular lattice. We use numerical quantum and variational Monte Carlo as well as analytical Schwinger boson mean-field analysis to establish the ground states and phase diagram. It is shown that, for finite size systems, there exist a series of jumps between different supersolid phases as the anisotropy parameter is changed. The density ordering wavevectors are locked to commensurate values and jump between adjacent supersolids. In the thermodynamic limit, however, the magnitude of these jumps vanishes leading to a continuous set of novel incommensurate supersoild phases.

description: Pakistan issued net metering regulations in 2015. Contrary to the anticipation of engaging large scale prosumers, its growth has been progressing at snail’s pace. Not only the number of licenses issued for distributed generation up till now are remarkably low but also there exist strong divergence between the distribution of licenses issued across the 11 distribution companies (DISCO’s). Following this insignificant growth and geographic uneven distribution, it was decided to launch an in-depth study, focusing on the challenges and opportunities surrounding Distributed Generation (DG) in Pakistan. For primary data collection three primary stakeholders were selected (a) Prosumers (those who have already engaged in solar PV self-consumption under net-metering regulations; (b) Non-Prosumers (those end-users who have still not engaged); (c) The electricity Distribution companies—who are the primary intermediaries in implementing the net-metering regulations and facilitating distributed generation uptake. In addition several interactive sessions were conducted with relevant organizations and public authorities and . This includes GIZ-Pak, National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB), and Ministry of Energy (Power Wing). The project overall gathered some very interesting findings especially on challenges surrounding distributed generation growth. This includes: Cumbersome application process; serious financial barriers, inertia at the end of DISCOs; low trust in technology; absence of awareness programs; as well as absence of fee-of service models. Based on gained insights, the study proposes an intervention framework.

description: In this paper we investigate the structure of rear local contacts of passivated emitter and rear solar cells
(PERC) including the formation of voids using scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM). Whereas standard techniques as
e.g. optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) require time-consuming sample preparation and result
in localised information only, it is shown that using non-destructive SAM voids can be depicted spatially resolved over a
complete cell. This is proven by comparing cross-section polishes of contact areas with SAM images. Additionally, we
present the analysis of local back surface fields (BSF) using Raman microscopy. Using this technique, the thickness of a
BSF can be investigated more easily compared to SEM. We found similar thicknesses of the BSF regardless of whether a
filled or non-filled (void) local contact area.

description: Psychedelic drugs, including lysergic acid diethylamide and other agonists of the serotonin 2A receptor (5HT2A-R), induce drastic changes in subjective experience, and provide a unique opportunity to study the neurobiological basis of consciousness. One of the most notable neurophysiological signatures of psychedelics, increased entropy in spontaneous neural activity, is thought to be of relevance to the psychedelic experience, mediating both acute alterations in consciousness and long-term effects. However, no clear mechanistic explanation for this entropy increase has been put forward so far. We sought to do this here by building upon a recent whole-brain model of serotonergic neuromodulation, to study the entropic effects of 5HT2A-R activation. Our results reproduce the overall entropy increase observed in previous experiments in vivo, providing the first model-based explanation for this phenomenon. We also found that entropy changes were not uniform across the brain: entropy increased in some regions and decreased in others, suggesting a topographical reconfiguration mediated by 5HT2A-R activation. Interestingly, at the whole-brain level, this reconfiguration was not well explained by 5HT2A-R density, but related closely to the topological properties of the brain's anatomical connectivity. These results help us understand the mechanisms underlying the psychedelic state and, more generally, the pharmacological modulation of whole-brain activity.

description: A simple convex polytope $P$ is \emph{cohomologically rigid} if its combinatorial structure is determined by the cohomology ring of a quasitoric manifold over $P$. Not every $P$ has this property, but some important polytopes such as simplices or cubes are known to be cohomologically rigid. In this article we investigate the cohomological rigidity of polytopes and establish it for several new classes of polytopes including products of simplices. Cohomological rigidity of $P$ is related to the \emph{bigraded Betti numbers} of its \emph{Stanley--Reisner ring}, another important invariants coming from combinatorial commutative algebra.

description: Nanoparticle-on-mirror plasmonic nanocavities, capable of extreme optical confinement and enhancement, have triggered state-of-the-art progress in nanophotonics and development of applications in enhanced spectroscopies and molecular detection. However, the optical quality factor and thus performance of these nanoconstructs are undermined by the granular polycrystalline metal films used as a mirror. Here, we report an atomically smooth single-crystalline platform for low-loss nanocavities using chemically-synthesized gold microflakes as a mirror. Nanocavities constructed using gold nanorods on such microflakes exhibit a rich structure of plasmonic modes, which are highly sensitive to the thickness of optically-thin (down to ~15 nm) microflakes. The atomically smooth single-crystalline microflakes endow nanocavities with significantly improved quality factor (~2 times) and scattering intensity (~3 times) compared with their counterparts based on deposited films. The developed low-loss nanocavities further allow for the integration with a mature platform of fiber optics, opening opportunities for realizing nanocavity-based miniaturized photonic devices with high performance.

These formulas are obtained by a limiting procedure from the formulas for the eigenvectors of periodic BBS model. The latter formulas were derived in the framework of the Sklyanin's method of separation of variables. In the case of fixed-spin boundaries the corresponding T-Q Baxter equations for the functions of separated variables are solved explicitly. As a particular case we obtain the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian of Ising-like Z_N quantum chain model.

description: We study the effect of modified gravity on weak lensing in a class of scalar-tensor theory that includes $f(R)$ gravity as a special case. These models are designed to satisfy local gravity constraints by having a large scalar-field mass in a region of high curvature. Matter density perturbations in these models are enhanced at small redshifts because of the presence of a coupling $Q$ that characterizes the strength between dark energy and non-relativistic matter. We compute a convergence power spectrum of weak lensing numerically and show that the spectral index and the amplitude of the spectrum in the linear regime can be significantly modified compared to the $Λ$CDM model for large values of $|Q|$ of the order of unity. Thus weak lensing provides a powerful tool to constrain such large coupling scalar-tensor models including $f(R)$ gravity.

description: We use hydrodynamics to investigate non-stationary channel flows of freely cooling dilute granular gases. We focus on the regime where the sound travel time through the channel is much shorter than the characteristic cooling time of the gas. As a result, the gas pressure rapidly becomes almost homogeneous, while the typical Mach number of the flow drops well below unity. Eliminating the acoustic modes, we reduce the hydrodynamic equations to a single nonlinear and nonlocal equation of a reaction-diffusion type in Lagrangian coordinates. This equation describes a broad class of channel flows and, in particular, can follow the development of the clustering instability from a weakly perturbed homogeneous cooling state to strongly nonlinear states. If the heat diffusion is neglected, the reduced equation is exactly soluble, and the solution develops a finite-time density blowup. The heat diffusion, however, becomes important near the attempted singularity. It arrests the density blowup and brings about novel inhomogeneous cooling states (ICSs) of the gas, where the pressure continues to decay with time, while the density profile becomes time-independent. Both the density profile of an ICS, and the characteristic relaxation time towards it are determined by a single dimensionless parameter that describes the relative role of the inelastic energy loss and heat diffusion. At large values of this parameter, the intermediate cooling dynamics proceeds as a competition between low-density regions of the gas. This competition resembles Ostwald ripening: only one hole survives at the end.

description: We define a family of groups that include the mapping class group of a genus g surface with one boundary component and the integral symplectic group Sp(2g,Z). We then prove that these groups are finitely generated. These groups, which we call mapping class groups over graphs, are indexed over labeled simplicial graphs with 2g vertices. The mapping class group over the graph Gamma is defined to be a subgroup of the automorphism group of the right-angled Artin group A_Gamma of Gamma. We also prove that the kernel of the map Aut A_Gamma to Aut H_1(A_Gamma) is finitely generated, generalizing a theorem of Magnus.

Compressive oscillations in hot coronal loops: Are sloshing oscillations and standing slow waves independent?

description: Employing high-resolution EUV imaging observations from SDO/AIA, we analyse a compressive plasma oscillation in a hot coronal loop triggered by a C-class flare near one of its foot points as first studied by Kumar et al. We investigate the oscillation properties in both the 131{\,}Å and 94{\,}Å channels and find that what appears as a pure sloshing oscillation in the 131{\,}Å channel actually transforms into a standing wave in the 94{\,}Å channel at a later time. This is the first clear evidence of such transformation confirming the results of a recent numerical study which suggests that these two oscillations are not independent phenomena. We introduce a new analytical expression to properly fit the sloshing phase of an oscillation and extract the oscillation properties. For the AIA 131{\,}Å channel, the obtained oscillation period and damping time are 608$\pm$4{\,}s and 431$\pm$20{\,}s, respectively during the sloshing phase. The corresponding values for the AIA 94{\,}Å channel are 617$\pm$3{\,}s and 828$\pm$50{\,}s. During the standing phase that is observed only in the AIA 94{\,}Å channel, the oscillation period and damping time have increased to 791$\pm$5{\,}s and 1598$\pm$138{\,}s, respectively. The plasma temperature obtained from the DEM analysis indicates substantial cooling of the plasma during the oscillation. Considering this, we show that the observed oscillation properties and the associated changes are compatible with damping due to thermal conduction. We further demonstrate that the absence of a standing phase in the 131{\,}Å channel is a consequence of cooling plasma besides the faster decay of oscillation in this channel.

Computation with Coherent States via Teleportations to and from a Quantum Bus

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In this paper we present results illustrating the power and flexibility of one-bit teleportations in quantum bus computation. We first show a scheme to perform a universal set of gates on continuous variable modes, which we call a quantum bus or qubus, using controlled phase-space rotations, homodyne detection, ancilla qubits and single qubit measurement. The resource usage for this scheme is lower than any previous scheme to date. We then illustrate how one-bit teleportations into a qubus can be used to encode qubit states into a quantum repetition code, which in turn can be used as an efficient method for producing GHZ states that can be used to create large cluster states. Each of these schemes can be modified so that teleportation measurements are post-selected to yield outputs with higher fidelity, without changing the physical parameters of the system.

description: Single incidents in the field having indicated mechanical damage to modules, such as cracked glass and bent
alloy frames, induced by snow loads, an experimental study was conducted at the TÜV Rheinland laboratories to simulate
such load effects. In accordance with IEC/EN 61215 or 61646 we applied mechanical snow loads uniformly in the range of
2400 up to 5400 Pa with the module oriented horizontally. The work presented here illustrates the theoretical aspects and the
practical application of inhomogeneous snow loads on inclined PV modules. The purpose of this research is to estimate the
effects on the rigidity of modules by applying two-dimensional mechanical loads at an inclination. The test results form the
basis of a TÜV Rheinland internal testing method for the qualification of PV modules under inhomogeneous snow loads.

description: The different life cycle assessments (LCA) of photovoltaic (PV) technologies present a great variability
in their results what may be tracked back to underlying methodological assumptions. These induce a potential bias in
the interpretation and the comparison of communicated results, and may lead to a confused message about PV
environmental impacts. This can be overcome by normalizing all the key assumptions, thanks to a reference set of
values. For six reference PV-LCA mainly based on data before 2006, and with our normalization hypotheses, we
obtained EPBT of 2.0-3.0, 1.8-2.4, 1.6-2.0, 1.9-3.2, 1.6-2.9 and 1.7-2.0 years respectively for sc-Si, mc-Si, ribbon-Si,
a-Si, CdTe and CI(G)S. Concerning the GWP, we get respectively 45-49, 35-53, 29-42, 21-74, 34-73 and 37-49

Transverse momentum and centrality dependence of dihadron correlations in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV: Jet-quenching and the response of partonic matter

description: Azimuthal angle Δϕcorrelations are presented for charged hadrons from dijets for 0.4 < p_T < 10 GeV/c in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. With increasing p_T, the away-side distribution evolves from a broad to a concave shape, then to a convex shape. Comparisons to p+p data suggest that the away-side can be divided into a partially suppressed "head" region centered at Deltaϕ~ π, and an enhanced "shoulder" region centered at Deltaϕ~ π+/- 1.1. The p_T spectrum for the "head" region softens toward central collisions, consistent with the onset of jet quenching. The spectral slope for the "shoulder" region is independent of centrality and trigger p_T, which offers constraints on energy transport mechanisms and suggests that the "shoulder" region contains the medium response to energetic jets.
