description: Activity classification was performed using MEMS accelerometer and wireless sensor node for wireless sensor network environment. Three axes MEMS accelerometer measures body's acceleration and transmits measured data with the help of sensor node to base station attached to PC. On the PC, real time accelerometer data is processed for movement classifications. In this paper, Rest, walking and running are the classified activities of the person. Both time and frequency analysis was performed to classify running and walking. The classification of rest and movement is done using Signal magnitude area (SMA). The classification accuracy for rest and movement is 100%. For the classification of walk and Run two parameters i.e. SMA and Median frequency were used. The classification accuracy for walk and running was detected as 81.25% in the experiments performed by the test persons.

description: The $Fermi$-LAT has revealed that rotation powered millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are a major contributor to the Galactic $γ$-ray source population. Such pulsars may also be important in modeling the quiescent state of several low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), where optical observations of the companion star suggest the possible existence of rotation powered MSPs. To understand the observational properties of the different evolutionary stages of MSPs, the X-ray and $γ$-ray emission associated with the outer gap model is investigated. For rotation powered MSPs, the size of the outer gap and the properties of the high-energy emission are controlled by either the photon-photon pair-creation process or magnetic pair-creation process near the surface. For these pulsars, we find that the outer gap model controlled by the magnetic pair-creation process is preferable in explaining the possible correlations between the $γ$-ray luminosity or non-thermal X-ray luminosity versus the spin down power. For the accreting MSPs in quiescent LMXBs, the thermal X-ray emission at the neutron star surface resulting from deep crustal heating can control the conditions in the outer gap. We argue that the optical modulation observed in the quiescent state of several LMXBs originates from the irradiation of the donor star by $γ$-rays from the outer gap. In these systems, the irradiation luminosity required for the optical modulation of the source such as SAX J1808.4-3658 can be achieved for a neutron star of high mass. Finally, we discuss the high-energy emission associated with an intra-binary shock in black widow systems, e.g. PSR B1957+20.

description: На основании современных взглядов на эксплуатацию автоматизированных систем управления специального назначения и существующей концепции трехэшелонной системы защиты Земли от опасных космических объектов в первую очередь необходимо предусмотреть наличие подсистемы оценки их долговечности. Такие системы должны обладать ресурсом и сроком службы многие десятки, а возможно, и сотни лет. Поэтому для подобных подсистем существует проблема их функционирования в модусах асимметрии времени «прошлое – настоящее – будущее».
Целью исследования является концептуальный анализ фундаментальных основ методологии подхода к оценке показателей долговечности оборудования автоматизированных систем управления систем защиты Земли от космических угроз.
description: Following modern views on the operation of automated control systems for special purposes and the existing concept of a three-echelon system for protecting the Earth from dangerous space objects, it is necessary to provide a subsystem for assessing their durability. Special automated control systems should have a long service life. Therefore, for this kind of subsystems, there is a problem of their functioning in the modes of time asymmetry “past – present – future”.
The aim of the study is a conceptual analysis of the fundamental bases of the methodology for assessing the indicators of the durability of the equipment of automated control systems for Earth protection systems from space threats.

description: We assess the degree of connectedness among 16 metals that are critical for the production of clean energy technologies. These commodities are the constituents of the Energy Transition Metals (ETMs) price index maintained by the International Monetary Fund and comprise base, precious, and minor metals. We rely on Vector Autoregressive models and generalized forecast error variance decomposition to quantify spillovers among ETMs returns and volatilities. By calculating both static and dynamic measures of connectedness, we gain insight into the patterns of shock transmission between ETMs. Our static analysis reveals that base and precious metals are net shock transmitters, while minor and most battery metals are net receivers. By splitting the analysis into three groups, we find that almost half of the connectedness originates within each group, whereas the other half is due to cross-group spillovers. Moreover, we find that the system-wide connectedness of returns is positively correlated with proxies of economic activity, whereas volatility connectedness seems to be more related to global economic policy uncertainty.

Scale
Terrestrial reference frame

description: The latest realization of the International Terrestrial Reference System, ITRF2020, was released in April 2022.When evaluating this terrestrial reference frame (TRF) , it was found that the scales from VLBI and SRL are in good agreement between 1998 and 2013.75, the difference is about 0.15 ppb. However, after 2013.75 the scale of VLBI seems to drift away. The reason for this is not yet understood. One reason could be related to the models used in the VLBI data analysis, for example the models used to correct for the geophysical loading as well as for the thermal and gravitational deformations of the telescopes. In this contribution, we investigate what impact such models can have on the VLBI scale. In VLBI analysis done for ITRF2020, gravitational deformation models were applied for six telescopes. Since then, gravitational deformation models for another seven telescopes have become available. We investigate how applying those additional models affect the VLBI scale. To assess the impact of thermal deformation on the scale we analyse in the VLBI data both with and without thermal deformation corrections. For calculating the thermal deformations we test using both in situ temperature measurements as well as temperature from numerical weather models.

description: We investigate the quantum dynamics of an experimentally realized spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate in a double well potential. The spin-orbit coupling can significantly enhance the atomic inter-well tunneling. We find the coexistence of internal and external Josephson effects in the system, which are moreover inherently coupled in a complicated form even in the absence of interatomic interactions. Moreover, we show that the spin-dependent tunneling between two wells can induce a net atomic spin current referred as spin Josephson effects. Such novel spin Josephson effects can be observable for realistically experimental conditions.

description: (Abridged) The analysis of the rotation curves (RCs) of spiral galaxies provides an efficient diagnostic for studying the properties of dark matter halos and their relations with the baryonic material. We have modeled the RCs of galaxies from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) with the Einasto halo model, which has emerged as the best-fitting model of the halos arising in dissipationless cosmological N-body simulations. We find that the RCs are significantly better fit with the Einasto halo than with either a pseudo-isothermal sphere (Iso) or Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) halo models. In our best-fit models, the radius of density slope -2 and the density at this radius are highly correlated. The Einasto index, which controls the overall shape of the density profile, is near unity on average for intermediate and low mass halos. This is not in agreement with the predictions from LCDM simulations. The indices of the most massive halos are in rough agreement with those of cosmological simulations and appear correlated with the halo virial mass. We find that a typical Einasto density profile declines more strongly in its outermost parts than any of the Iso or NFW models whereas it is relatively shallow in its innermost regions. The core nature of those regions of halos thus extends the cusp-core controversy found for the NFW model with low surface density galaxies to the Einasto halo with more massive galaxies like those of THINGS. We thus find that the Einasto halo model provides, so far, the best match to the observed RCs, and can therefore be considered as a new standard model for dark matter halos.

description: We demonstrate selective excitation of a spin wave mode in a ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As film by picosecond strain pulses. For a certain range of magnetic fields applied in the layer plane only a single frequency is detected for the magnetization precession. We explain this selectivity of spin mode excitation by the necessity of spatial matching of magnon and phonon eigenfunctions, which represents a selection rule analogous to momentum conservation for magnon-phonon interaction in bulk ferromagnetic materials.

description: There are many wildfire behaviors of increasing relevance that are outside the forecast capabilities of even the most sophisticated operational fire spread and fire behavior model. The limitations of the operational models are due primarily to their inability to represent coupled fire-atmosphere interactions. Coupled wildfire-atmosphere models are physics-based fluid-dynamical prognostic models of wildfire spread and behavior that attempt an almost complete representation of fire-atmosphere interactions. This level of fidelity however means that these models cannot be used operationally. The reason is that, despite ever increasing computational resources, the complexity and range of processes and scales (1 mm to 100 km) involved in this modeling approach make computational costs prohibitively expensive. In this study we propose an intermediate approach. A physics-based coupled atmosphere-fire model is used to resolve the large-scale and local weather as well as the atmosphere-fire interactions, while combustion is represented simply using an existing operational surface fire behavior model. This model combination strikes a balance between fidelity and speed of execution. The feasibility of this approach is examined based on an analysis of a numerical simulation of two very large Santa Ana fires using WRF-Sfire, a coupled atmosphere-fire model available at the Open Wildland Fire Modeling Community (OpenWFM.org); an earlier version is available as WRF-Fire in WRF release. The study demonstrates that a wind and fire spread forecast of reasonable accuracy was obtained at an execution speed that would have made real-time wildfire forecasting of this event possible.

description: Domestic soybean production has increased in many countries of Central Europe over the last decade. As a significant share of soybean production is under organic management at present, a growing demand for varieties suitable for organic production systems has developed. For this reason, the specific needs of cultivars in organic production and possible breeding options are elaborated. Apart from grain yield, weed suppression/tolerance is a highly desirable trait that could be determined in inter-seeding experiments for simulating weed pressure. Other traits such as resistance against diseases and pests as well as tolerance to abiotic stresses (chilling, high temperature and drought) can be selected similarly in conventional and organic programs. In contrast, efficient selection for symbiotic di-nitrogen fixation would require dedicated approaches such as continuous selection under lownitrogen soil conditions. As individual organic breeding activities are small, collaborative approaches between plant breeding organisations on a European level could increase the efficiency of breeding work.

description: Mangroves occupy a unique position on the coastline and because of this they are able to affect wave energy from inbound waves as well as sediment delivery and other nutrients. These abilities of mangroves that are typically studied in the tropics or sub tropics while information on temperate mangroves are scarcely provided. This research is focused on highlighting the ability of temperate mangroves to affect waves and sediment using thorough field studies while also using drones to collect vegetation data. Estimates of the biomass of these forests are also made using drones.

description: Su(var) mutations define epigenetic factors controlling heterochromatin formation and gene silencing in Drosophila. Here, we identify SU(VAR)2-1 as a novel chromatin regulator that directs global histone deacetylation during the transition of cleavage chromatin into somatic blastoderm chromatin in early embryogenesis. SU(VAR)2-1 is heterochromatin-associated in blastoderm nuclei but not in later stages of development. In larval polytene chromosomes, SU(VAR)2-1 is a band-specific protein. SU(VAR)2-1 directs global histone deacetylation by recruiting the histone deacetylase RPD3. In Su(var)2-1 mutants H3K9, H3K27, H4K8 and H4K16 acetylation shows elevated levels genome-wide and heterochromatin displays aberrant histone hyper-acetylation. Whereas H3K9me2- and HP1a-binding appears unaltered, the heterochromatin-specific H3K9me2S10ph composite mark is impaired in heterochromatic chromocenters of larval salivary polytene chromosomes. SU(VAR)2-1 contains an NRF1/EWG domain and a C2HC zinc-finger motif. Our study identifies SU(VAR)2-1 as a dosage-dependent, heterochromatin-initiating SU(VAR) factor, where the SU(VAR)2-1-mediated control of genome-wide histone deacetylation after cleavage and before mid-blastula transition (pre-MBT) is required to enable heterochromatin formation.

description: ATLAS results are presented on a search for flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNC) in top quark decays at the LHC. Events are searched for where a pair of top quarks is produced and one decays through the Standard Model $t \rightarrow Wb$ mode while the other decays through the FCNC mode $t \rightarrow qZ$. Leptonic final states are used in which both the $W$- and $Z$-bosons decay leptonically, yielding final states with three leptons and two jets. The observed events are consistent with the expected backgrounds from Drell-Yan and diboson production and a limit on the FCNC branching ratio of top quarks to $qZ$ is set.

Slide show, monograph, cibachrome : Nan Goldin's colour photographs in three forms
Creators: name: Matwichuk, Laura
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: During the 1970s a new generation of artists began to use photography in a personal and experimental manner not seen prior to this decade. This thesis contends that Nan Goldin's The Ballad of Sexual Dependency (1979-86) is first among the artworks to characterize the subcultural fantasy and disenchantment of that generation. By employing autobiographic subject matter and diaristic means, The Ballad is an affront to straight black and white practices legitimized as art in previous decades. My analysis elucidates the historical, economic and artistic conditions which activate The Ballad and reveal its integral role in defining photographic practices of this and subsequent periods. In the first chapter, critical texts on photography which parallel the production of The Ballad of Sexual Dependency are examined, as well as those that draw out historical comparisons to Berlin during the Weimar Republic. Also under consideration is the impact of economic and geographic factors on Goldin's practice in relation to the work of other American photographers of the 1970s. In the second chapter, it is argued that The Ballad's integral positioning within the history of colour photography is contingent upon its three forms: slide show, monograph and Cibachrome. Finally, it is considered that recent inclinations to look to Goldin's photographs for ethnographic or historical evidence reveals the need to further examine The Ballad's 'look,' which has been co-opted as a subcultural aesthetic, while the subculture itself has become virtually obsolete.

description: We present evidence that a special class of gravitationally-coupled hidden sectors, in which conformal invariance is dynamically broken in a controlled way, exhibit the properties of dark energy. Such quantum field theories may appear while embedding the Standard Model in a more fundamental high energy theory. At late times, an effective dark energy field behaves similarly to an exponentially small cosmological constant while at early times its energy density partly tracks that of matter.

description: Karyotype analyses in species of the family Marantaceae (550 species, 31 genera) were conducted to shed light on the reported strong variation of chromosome number and size and the occurrence of polyploidy. Special attention was paid to the alterations in basic chromosome numbers, karyotypes and ploidy levels. Taxon sampling covered the whole distribution area of Marantaceae in Africa, Asia and America. We applied mitotic chromosome counting using conventional rapid squash techniques in 43 accessions (39 species, 16 genera), evaluated literature records for 51 species and conducted karyotype analyses. Eleven different somatic chromosome numbers were found (2n = 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 33, 44, 36, 52, 65, 72). Based on the presumed basic chromosome numbers of x = 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, this may correspond to diploid, triploid, tetraploid, pentaploid and octoploid levels, respectively. Dysploid variation, polyploidy and, to a lesser extend, hybridization may be the main factors in chromosome number evolution of the family. Our results also point to a certain degree of association with species diversification and geographical patterns.

This analysis is developed by considering the corresponding complete set of variables that define these theories as dynamical, and we find out the relevant symmetries, the constraints, the extended Hamiltonian, the extended action, gauge transformations and the counting of physical degrees of freedom. The results obtained are compared with other approaches found in the literature.

description: The generation of isolated attosecond pulses with high efficiency and high beam quality is essential for attosec- ond spectroscopy. We numerically investigate the supercontinuum generation in a neutral rare-gas medium driven by a two-color Bessel-Gauss beam. The results show that an efficient smooth supercontinuum in the plateau is obtained after propagation, and the spatial profile of the generated attosecond pulse is Gaussian-like with the divergence angle of 0.1 degree in the far field. This bright source with high beam quality is beneficial for detecting and controlling the microscopic processes on attosecond time scale.

description: The Stoney perception of past events is a major factor influencing the Stoney's choice of the course of action they will follow. Thus, per­ception is one of the important agents of sociocultural change active within the reserve. Stoney people act on the basis of their perceptions, and so if one is to understand many of the changes that are presently taking place within the reserve, then one must identify what these per­ceptions are. The Stoney's perception of Treaty #7 is that it has the same legal status as any agreement between two independent nations. The people feel that many of the promises and agreements made when the treaty was signed are not being respected or fulfilled. They believe that the Government is not living up to its responsibilities and in many instances it has neglected to protect the interests of the tribe. The Church and its missionaries approached the Stoney with talk of friendship, interest and concern which has since proven to be empty as the Church ended up taking far more from the Stoney than they ever gave in return. The main effect of the actions of the representatives of both Government and Church has been to weaken and to destroy many aspects of Stoney culture. Many of the Stoney's experiences with white people have led them to be generally suspicious and mistrustful of all whitemen. The Stoney feel that most white people do not understand the Indian and that they want to see the Indian change to become like a whiteman. Many whites are jealous of "Indian rights" and "Indian land" and they would like to see these taken away from the Indian. The Stoney believe that they have been deliberately "kept down" and that they have been prevented from developing either themselves or their reserve. With the development of self-government the Band Council is now able to work towards the realiÂ­zation of goals established by the Stoney people. The achievement of these goals results in what is perceived as desirable sociocultural change occurring within the reserve. The events that have already occurred and that are presently takÂ­ing place are illustrative of certain anthropological concepts of sociocultural change and race relations. As change does take place, adjustments are made within the society to either support or reject the change. Any change tends to be cumulative in that it precipitates other changes which in turn bring about still further changes.

description: Every practicing anthropologist is intuitively aware of social systemic differences in behavior attributable to sex differences. The only scientific method of establishing such a connection, however, resides in the analysis of the process of interaction: is it male/female (i.e., characteristically different for each sex), or human (i.e., characteristically similar throughout the species)? Twelve subjects (six male, six female ) were combined into four, three-person, single-sex groups that met three times for periods of roughly 40 minutes each. During these periods of conversational interaction, the subjects were monitored by several objective indices of the process and structure of social interaction, including noncontent verbal behavior and physiological response patterning. Analysis of the noncontent verbal behavior showed that both male and female groups generate similar types of social structures; structures characterized by equilibrium functions. Analysis of the physiological response patterning of individuals within the groups showed that the process of generating the equilibrium structure differed in degree, but not in kind, between the sexes. Thus, it was concluded that the process of social interaction is best described as male/female and human: the basic process of interaction is similar throughout the species, but differential elaboration of various aspects of the process results in interactional differences which could cause the large-scale differences in social- systemic behaviors marked by sex roles.

description: Fake news is another word for “disinformation”. It means information that looks and sounds like true, but which is false or not totally true. Sometimes, even if statements might be false, the events they are referring to might be real. Fake news is made to look like news: it is catchy so that it attracts the attention of more readers and gets more clicks or shares.
 The aims of this content are different: sometimes it is to mislead and manipulate the public, for ideological or economic gains (Baptista & Gradim, 2022). However, sometimes it can happen that fake news comes from lack of understanding and full knowledge of a situation.

Measurement of Cross-Polarization Gains of VGOS Antennas

description: VGOS antennas observe in dual linear polarization mode. To obtain the maximum signal-to-noise ratio, the correlator visibilities have to be combined to Stokes I for fringe-fitting. For this processing step it is essential to calibrate the complex gain differences between the two linear feeds of each antenna. With the aim of better understanding the cross-polarization gains of VGOS antennas, we carried out an R&D session with a network of six antennas. The data allow us to measure the cross-bandpasses with high quality and to explore their temporal evolution over the six hours of the session. Here we present our results and discuss possible implications for future calibration strategies.
Catalysis of iron core formation in Escherichia coli bacterioferritin

description: Iron is an essential element for almost all life, so iron homeostasis is an important concern for most living organisms. The chemical properties of iron as represented by the low aqueous solubility of ferric iron and the toxicity of hydroxyl radicals it can produce by means of the Fenton reaction make achievement of iron homeostasis both challenging and crucially important. Bacterioferritin (BFR) is a bacterial member of the ferritin family of proteins that stores iron as a microcrystalline ferric hydroxide core of ~2700 iron atoms. This core is surrounded by 24 identical protein subunits, each possessing a dinuclear iron centre that catalyzes the oxidation of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺. This structure affords storage, solubility and bioavailability of iron. To improve our incomplete knowledge of the mechanism of iron core formation, the properties of an assembly variant (Glu128Arg/Glu135Arg) and the wild-type of Escherichia coli BFR have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, site-directed mutagenesis, and iron oxidation kinetics. The crystal structure of the variant included two ethylene glycol (EG) molecules adjacent to the dinuclear (ferroxidase) site that catalyzes iron oxidation. One EG resides in the ferroxidase pore that provides a route from the solvent to the ferroxidase site. The other EG resides at the inner surface of the protein where the iron core presumably binds and is surrounded by three acidic residues: Glu47, Asp50, and Asp126. Kinetics studies revealed that Glu47Gln, Asp50Asn and Asp126Asn substitutions in the assembly variant and the wild-type 24-mer retarded iron core formation and that Glu47 is important in iron oxidation at the ferroxidase site whereas Asp50 and Asp126 are important for iron core nucleation. The 3-fold channel, 4-fold channel, B-site channel and the ferroxidase pore of BFR are possible routes of iron entry for core formation, but disruption of each of these sites individually in the 24-mer did not alter the kinetics of iron core formation. The intermediate states of the dinuclear site during iron oxidation are not well defined, but fast formation and decay of a μ-1,2-peroxodiferric intermediate (ƛmax = 650 nm) has been proposed. This intermediate was detected by multi-wavelength stopped flow kinetic analysis of wild-type BFR.

description: Linear-response time-dependent (TD) density-functional theory (DFT) has been implemented in the pseudopotential wavelet-based electronic structure program BigDFT and results are compared against those obtained with the all-electron Gaussian-type orbital program deMon2k for the calculation of electronic absorption spectra of N2 using the TD local density approximation (LDA). The two programs give comparable excitation energies and absorption spectra once suitably extensive basis sets are used. Convergence of LDA density orbitals and orbital energies to the basis-set limit is significantly faster for BigDFT than for deMon2k. However the number of virtual orbitals used in TD-DFT calculations is a parameter in BigDFT, while all virtual orbitals are included in TD-DFT calculations in deMon2k. As a reality check, we report the x-ray crystal structure and the measured and calculated absorption spectrum (excitation energies and oscillator strengths) of the small organic molecule N-cyclohexyl-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-amine.

description: Seventy-two durum wheat lines, including breeding lines, ancient and new varieties, have been evaluated under organic and poor soil in order to test their adaptability for organic agriculture, before proceeding with molecular analysis on the selected lines. The accessions, coming from the Italian, Austrian and Hungarian partners of the ECOBREED project, have been evaluated in the three countries in a randomized block design (RBD) with two to three replications for a preliminary screening in order to proceed with deeper analyses and a crossing program in the next seasons. The accessions have been characterized for several important morphological traits such as duration of phenological phases, tillering, plant height, flag leaf traits and area, spike fertility and productivity traits and yield. Moreover, the root system of the same accessions has been evaluated in the greenhouse in Viterbo (Italy), growing single plants in net-pots (15 cm diameter) in a RBD with five replications. The proceeding of primary roots outflow and the root angles at anthesis have been measured. The analyses allow the ranking of the germplasm for their performance under organic agriculture and the selection of 25 accessions with high potentials to be registered for their utilization under organic agriculture and to be included in future breeding programs.
On the harmonics of the low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillation in GRS 1915+105

description: GRS 1915+105 is a widely studied black hole binary, well known because of its extremely fast and complex variability. Flaring periods of high variability alternate with "stable" phases (the plateaux) when the flux is low, the spectra are hard and the timing properties of the source are similar to those of a number of black hole candidates in hard spectral state. In the plateaux the power density spectra are dominated by a low frequency quasi periodic oscillation (LFQPO) superposed onto a band limited noise continuum and accompanied by at least one harmonic. In this paper we focus on three plateaux, presenting the analysis of the power density spectra and in particular of the LFQPO and its harmonics. While plotting the LFQPO and all the harmonics together on a frequency-width plane, we found the presence of a positive trend of broadening when the frequency increases. This trend can shed light in the nature of the harmonic content of the LFQPO and challenges the usual interpretation of these timing features.
