description: The production of land cover maps is an everyday use of image classification applications on remote sensing. However, managing Earth observation satellite data for a large region of interest is challenging in the task of creating land cover maps. Since satellite imagery is getting more precise and extensive, Big Data techniques are becoming essential to handle the rising quantity of data. Furthermore, given the complexity of managing and analysing the data, defining a methodology that reduces the complexity of the process into different smaller steps is vital to data processing. This paper presents a Big Data methodology for creating land cover maps employing artificial intelligence algorithms. Machine Learning algorithms are contemplated for remote sensing and geodata classification, supported by explainable artificial intelligence. Furthermore, the process considers aspects related to downloading data from different satellites, Copernicus and ASTER, executing the pre-processing and processing of the data in a distributed environment, and depicting the visualisation of the result. The methodology is validated in a test case for creating a land cover map of the Mediterranean Basin.

description: We study a correlation function for the one-dimensional isotropic ${XY}$ model (${XX0}$ model), which is called the Emptiness Formation Probability (EFP). It is the probability of the formation of a ferromagnetic string in the anti-ferromagnetic ground state. Using the expression of the EFP as a Toeplitz determinant, we discuss its asymptotic behaviors. We also compare the analytical results with numerical calculations as the density-matrix renormalization group and the quantum Monte-Carlo method.

description: When an experimentalist measures a time series of qubits, the outcomes generate a classical stochastic process. We show that measurement induces high complexity in these processes in two specific senses: they are inherently unpredictable (positive Shannon entropy rate) and they require an infinite number of features for optimal prediction (divergent statistical complexity). We identify nonunifilarity as the mechanism underlying the resulting complexities and examine the influence that measurement choice has on the randomness and structure of measured qubit processes. We introduce new quantitative measures of this complexity and provide efficient algorithms for their estimation.

description: The xylem-inhabiting plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) represents one of the major phytopathological threats to olive crop worldwide, due to its devastating effects on agricultural yields losses and high tree mortality that causes profound socioeconomic and environmental impacts. Endophytes play an essential role on plant growth and its physiological status, but they can also act as an innate natural defense to cope against infection by xylem-inhabiting pathogenic organisms. Today, vast majority of microorganisms residing in olive xylem are unknown; therefore this work pursues the characterization of the olive microbiome through culture-dependent and independent (NGS) techniques as a tool for identifying potential biological control agents for this pathogen. Hence, four cultivated olive genotypes (Arbequina, Arbosana, Koroneiki and Grappolo) located in Sao Paulo state (Brazil) showing visual Xf symptoms or asymptomatic-non-infected were selected. Xf infection was verified by qPCR. For the culture-dependent approach, chips extracts of xylem tissue from branches and roots were plated in two solid media (R2A and R2A supplemented with plant extract). For culture independent approach, total DNA extracted from xylem tissue was analyzed by metagenomic analysis of 16S and ITS region to characterize the xylem-inhabiting bacterial and fungal communities. Preliminary culture results indicated differences in the frequency of microbial communities depending on the olive genotype and the type of plant material analyzed, as well as, the presence or absence of Xf symptoms on the sampled trees that correlated with Xf infection. These results will help to expand our knowledge on the olive xylem microbiome community composition and understand its driving factors when Xf infection occurs and more importantly to identify xylem-inhabiting microorganisms with potential to combat this harmful bacterium.

description: In the Hammersley harness processes the real-valued height at each site i in Z^d is updated at rate 1 to an average of the neighboring heights plus a centered random variable (the noise). We construct the process "a la Harris" simultaneously for all times and boxes contained in Z^d. With this representation we compute covariances and show L^2 and almost sure time and space convergence of the process. In particular, the process started from the flat configuration and viewed from the height at the origin converges to an invariant measure. In dimension three and higher, the process itself converges to an invariant measure in L^2 at speed t^{1-d/2} (this extends the convergence established by Hsiao). When the noise is Gaussian the limiting measures are Gaussian fields (harmonic crystals) and are also reversible for the process.

description: In the zero-field-cooled exchange bias (ZEB) effect the unidirectional magnetic anisotropy is set at low temperatures even when the system is cooled in the absence of external magnetic field. La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoMnO$_{6}$ stands out as presenting the largest ZEB reported so far, while for La$_{1.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$CoMnO$_{6}$ the exchange bias field ($H_{EB}$) is one order of magnitude smaller. Here we show that La$_{1.5}$Ba$_{0.5}$CoMnO$_{6}$ also exhibits a pronounced shift of its magnetic hysteresis loop, with intermediate $H_{EB}$ value in respect to Ca- and Sr-doped samples. In order to figure out the microscopic mechanisms responsible for this phenomena, these compounds were investigated by means of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, muon spin rotation and relaxation, AC and DC magnetization, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The parent compound La$_{2}$CoMnO$_{6}$ was also studied for comparison, as a reference of a non-ZEB material. Our results show that the Ba-, Ca- and Sr-doped samples present a small amount of phase segregation, and that the ZEB effect is strongly correlated to the system's structure. We also observed that mixed valence states Co$^{2+}$/Co$^{3+}$ and Mn$^{4+}$/Mn$^{3+}$ are already present at the La$_{2}$CoMnO$_{6}$ parent compound, and that Ba$^{2+}$/Ca$^{2+}$/Sr$^{2+}$ partial substitution at La$^{3+}$ site leads to a large increase of Co average valence, with a subtle augmentation of Mn formal valence. Estimates of the Co and Mn valences from the $L$-edge XAS indicate the presence of oxygen vacancies in all samples (0.05$\leq δ\leq$0.1). Our XMCD results show a great decrease of Co moment for the doped compounds, and indicate that the shift of the hysteresis curves for these samples is related to uncompensated antiferromagnetic coupling between Co and Mn.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: The plant-pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, widely distributed in the Americas and with several recent outbreaks in EU, emerged as a serious threat to olive crop and the typical Mediterranean landscape. This xylem-limited plant pathogen spreads by xylem sap-feeding insects, causes symptoms of marginal leaf scorch, leaf chlorosis, defoliation, and a general decay in olive trees. Research on plant-associated microorganisms has gained importance in the last decade as a key component in plant health. However, the role of the xylem microbiome and its contribution to plant health is still scarce. Therefore, this work is focused on mapping X. fastidiosa infection and deciphering the changes in the composition of microbial communities on symptomatic and asymptomatic olive tree branches. Three olives trees of cultivar Grappolo growing at Sao Paulo state (Brazil) were selected and within each tree three main branches were sampled showing different severity of symptoms development; one branch presenting typical X. fastidiosa symptoms of pathogen infection in contrast to the other two branches that were asymptomatic. X. fastidiosa infection was verified by qPCR. Leaves and stem samples were collected in a gradual scale above and below the symptomatic branches. Chips extracts of xylem tissue from its stems and leaf veins and petioles were used for DNA extraction to undergo metagenomic analysis (NGS) for microbial composition estimation and to diagnose the presence of the pathogen by real-time PCR, respectively. These results will help to understand the occurrence of step-wise changes in olive xylem microbiome as a consequence of X. fastidiosa infection and determine which microorganisms respond faster or can be associated to a symptom progression on infected trees.

DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT. — Scolopia meridionalis occurs in transitional forest and dry bush in southern Madagascar (Fig. 2). Most collections are from two localities in the extreme southeast; a single collection from the southwest, at the massif of Analavelona, is atypical (see discussion below). REMARKS Scolopia meridionalis is usually a small tree to 6 m or a large shrub, often with spiny branches, that belongs to the group of xerophytic species with one-flowered inflorescences. It is distinguished from others in that group by its obovate to rhomboid, usually 2-5 cm long leaves and pubescent ovaries. The only collection from the disjunct population at Analavelona was a tree 15-20 m tall with platanoid bark. Although formal taxonomic recognition of this population was not possible given the very limited available material, it may be suspected that it represents at least a distinct subspecies. Further investigation would be desirable. CONSERVATION STATUS The preliminary assessment of the conservation status of Scolopia meridionalis is Endangered (EN B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii)), with an Extent of Occurrence of 1675 km 2, and a minimum Area of Occupancy of 12 km 2. It is known only from older collections at three locations, two very close together in an area of the extreme southeast subject to continuing habitat degradation and one, whose population may well be genetically and taxonomically distinct, far to the west at Analavelona.

description: Generation of the large-scale coherent vortical structurs in homogeneous shear flow couples dynamical processes of energy and enstrophy production. In the large rate of strain limit, the simple estimates of the contributions to the energy and enstrophy equations result in a dynamical system, describing experimentally and numerically observed self-sustained non-linear oscillations of energy and enstrophy. It is shown that the period of these oscilaltions is independent upon the box size and the energy and enstrophy fluctuations are strongly correlated.

description: The generation of large scale flows by the anisotropic kinetic alpha (AKA) effect is investigated in simulations with a suitable time-dependent space- and time-periodic anisotropic forcing lacking parity invariance. The forcing pattern moves relative to the fluid, which leads to a breaking of the Galilean invariance as required for the AKA effect to exist. The AKA effect is found to produce a clear large scale flow pattern when the Reynolds number, R, is small as only a few modes are excited in linear theory. In this case the non-vanishing components of the AKA tensor are dynamically independent of the Reynolds number. For larger values of R, many more modes are excited and the components of the AKA tensor are found to decrease rapidly with increasing value of R. However, once there is a magnetic field (imposed and of sufficient strength, or dynamo-generated and saturated) the field begins to suppress the AKA effect, regardless of the value of R. It is argued that the AKA effect is unlikely to be astrophysically significant unless the magnetic field is weak and R is small.

description: Endophytes can play an antagonistic role in controlling plant vascular diseases. However, this depends on their efficiency of establishment in the plant's internal sphere and their ability to stimulate the plant's defense mechanisms. The present study aimed to evaluate the antagonism capacity of endophytes isolated from olive cvs (Bacillus subtilis, Pantoea agglomerans, Paraconiothyrium brasiliense) on plant colonization and production of plant defense-related genes in aerial tissues. After inoculation of the selected antagonists on 'Leccino' and 'Cima di Mola' plants in the greenhouse, diagnostic tests for their detection were carried out for two months period using Real-time PCR. Production of plant defense-related genes in aerial tissues of inoculated plants was evaluated. All endophytic agents were successfully inoculated into the cv 'Leccino' and 'Cima di Mola' where they multiplied and spread. Bacillus subtilis showed a high stability and persistence at a concentration of 104 CFU/ml, while P. agglomerans at lower levels <102 CFU/ml. Paraconiothyrium brasiliense was constantly found at a high colonization rate (>70%) in cultured stem discs of both cultivars. The expression of defence-related genes was detected in plants inoculated with B. subtilis, but not in those inoculated with P. agglomeransa and P. brasiliense. Our findings suggest the potential direct and indirect antagonism effect of B. subtilis in olive cvs that could be investigated for biocontrol against Xf (ST53).

Order-disorder phase transition in black-hole star clusters. II. A scale-free cluster
Creators: name: Tremaine, Scott
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The supermassive black holes found at the centers of galaxies are often surrounded by dense star clusters. The ages of these clusters are generally longer than the resonant-relaxation time and shorter than the two-body relaxation time over a wide range of radii. We explore the thermodynamic equilibria of such clusters using a simple self-similar model. We find that the cluster exhibits a phase transition between a high-temperature spherical equilibrium and a low-temperature equilibrium in which the stars are on high-eccentricity orbits with nearly the same orientation. In the absence of relativistic precession, the spherical equilibrium is metastable below the critical temperature and the phase transition is first-order. When relativistic effects are important, the spherical equilibrium is linearly unstable below the critical temperature and the phase transition is continuous. A similar phase transition has recently been found in a model cluster composed of stars with a single semimajor axis. The presence of the same phenomenon in two quite different cluster models suggests that lopsided equilibria may form naturally in a wide variety of black-hole star clusters.

description: We study new compactifications of the SO(32) heterotic string theory on compact complex non-Kahler manifolds. These manifolds have many interesting features like fewer moduli, torsional constraints, vanishing Euler character and vanishing first Chern class, which make the four-dimensional theory phenomenologically attractive. We take a particular compact example studied earlier and determine various geometrical properties of it. In particular we calculate the warp factor and study the sigma model description of strings propagating on these backgrounds. The anomaly cancellation condition and enhanced gauge symmetry are shown to arise naturally in this framework, if one considers the effect of singularities carefully. We then give a detailed mathematical analysis of these manifolds and construct a large class of them. The existence of a holomorphic (3,0) form is important for the construction. We clarify some of the topological properties of these manifolds and evaluate the Betti numbers. We also determine the superpotential and argue that the radial modulus of these manifolds can actually be stabilized.

description: Although experiments can offer some fingerprints of the atomic structure of glasses (coordination numbers, pair distribution function, etc.), atomistic simulations are often required to directly access the structure itself (i.e., the positions of the atoms). On the one hand, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can be used to generate by quenching a liquid - but MD simulations remain plagued by extremely high cooling rates. On the other hand, reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) modeling bypasses the melt-quenching route - but RMC often yields non-unique glass structures. Here, we adopt the force-enhanced atomic refinement (FEAR) method to overcome these limitations and decipher the atomic structure of a sodium silicate glass. We show that FEAR offers an unprecedented description of the atomic structure of sodium silicate. The FEAR-generated glass structure simultaneously exhibits (i) enhanced agreement with experimental neutron diffraction data and (ii) higher energetic stability as compared to those generated by MD or RMC. This result allows us to reveal new insights into the atomic structure of sodium silicate glasses. Specifically, we show that sodium silicate glasses exhibit a more ordered medium-range order structure than previously suggested by MD simulations. These results pave the way toward an increased ability to accurately describe the atomic structure of glasses.

description: In the framework of the XF-ACTORS project and in particular WP8 (Regional risk assessment to anticipate the threat and impacts of Xf diseases), an interactive web-based GIS tool has been implemented, allowing the risk assessment of the X. fastidiosa overall suitability across Europe. The tool considers the environmental suitability, including factors such as climate, land cover, soil water content, etc., as well as the stakeholders’ knowledge and awareness of the disease (RISK) and the perceived impact that the governance will have in preventing or mitigating the impact of the disease (GOV). Samples from the region of Puglia in Italy and Alicante in Spain, have been used to determine the critical thresholds of the independent variables and derive a quantitative relationship between the values of those variables and the vulnerability value, representing the suitability of the area in question for the disease. A series of 6 questions (3 for the stakeholders’ perception and 3 for the governance) are presented to the user, who has an option of 5 answers (strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree), which are then used to calculate the values of the RISK and GOV variables. The result of the processing is a map indicating the areas from very high to very low risk. The user has the option of recalculating the results, based on different answers to the questions, hence creating different scenarios of stakeholders’ perception and governance ability. Even though the data used to derive the relationship originated from only two areas, the tool appears to identify areas where the disease has been actually detected, as highly vulnerable. Further in-situ data, with a greater geographic distribution, would significantly increase the accuracy of the tool.

description: In Standing Before the Stranger I depict different levels of psychological dislocation, ranging from minor anxiety to insanity, initiated by estrangement from both the external world and the inner world of the self. The speakers and characters inhabiting these poems are either suffering or reacting, often violently, to their inner turmoil. Readers will find dark poems that combine the comedic and the tragic, mix surreal elements with the mundane, and often manage to be absurd and meaningful at the same time. Four music-based poems provide relief from the chaos, but transcendence, for both the speakers and the readers, is only temporary. I employ a variety of poetic elements, but my poems generally have hushed sonics, narrative-based descriptions, and a consistent voice; however, the reader is not likely to achieve any stability within the world of the collection.

Standing Before the Stranger is a combined reflection of external reality and inner reality. The introduction serves, in part, to assert that alienation, the possibility of losing a sense of self, the inability to communicate with others, and similar fears, obsessions, and desires, connect all people. The poems work together as a metaphor for these problems, but the collection ends without a resolution. The overall voice of the collection is that of a lonely individual lost in an inescapable cycle. In these poems, the stranger is the speaker, everyone and everything but the speaker, the speaker's own inner self, or the reader. Sometimes, to borrow a line from one of my poems, "the stranger is me."

description: Das Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek setzt seit 2021 gezielt künstliche Intelligenz zur automatisierten Klassifikation seiner Bilder ein, weniger als Ersatz, sondern als Ergänzung zur intellektuellen Verschlagwortung. Nach dem ersten Durchlauf mit dem Computer-Vision-Modell «General» der Firma Clarifai sind über eine Million Bilder mit Keywords getaggt. Der Aufwand an Zeit und Rechenleistung war beträchtlich.
Erste Stichproben zeigten, dass die Qualität der Ergebnisse der automatisierten Erkennung sehr unterschiedlich ist. So gibt es Keywords mit nahezu 100 %iger Treffersicherheit, wie etwa «Schlagzeuger». Allerdings kommt es auch zu Übersetzungsfehlern, wie etwa «Relief» zu «Erleichterung», falschen Zuordnungen, wie etwa Berge und Gletscher als «Bechamélsauce» oder gar verzerrten Zuordnungen wie «Ritual»
Um die Qualität der KI-gestützten Klassifikation zu verbessern, wurde der Datenpool des Bildarchivs von über einer Million getaggten Bildern einer qualitativen Analyse unterzogen. Dazu wurden zunächst alle 4.600 Keywords einzeln visualisiert, um die Erkennungsqualität der KI zu bewerten und die Keywords zu validieren. Die Analyse ergab, dass etwa die Hälfte der Keywords fehlerhaft oder inhaltlich problematisch war und gelöscht werden musste. Die verbleibenden Keywords wurden anschließend einer semantischen Analyse unterzogen. Dabei wurden folgende Fragen untersucht: Gibt es Wortarten, die für die KI-basierte Bildklassifikation besser geeignet sind? Welche Inhalte funktionieren gut und welche führen zu problematischen Zuordnungen?
Die qualitative Analyse des Bildarchivs der ETH-Bibliothek liefert wertvolle Erkenntnisse für die Entwicklung und Anwendung von KI-gestützten Bildklassifikationsverfahren in der Praxis. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die KI ein wertvolles Werkzeug für die Digitalisierung und Erschließung von Bilddaten sein kann. Allerdings ist es wichtig, die Grenzen der KI zu kennen und diese bei der Anwendung zu berücksichtigen.

description: The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in 1+1 dimension dynamically develops sharply connected valley structures within which the height derivative {\it is not} continuous. There are two different regimes before and after creation of the sharp valleys. We develop a statistical theory for the KPZ equation in 1+1 dimension driven with a random forcing which is white in time and Gaussian correlated in space. A master equation is derived for the joint probability density function of height difference and height gradient $P(h-\bar h,\partial_{x}h,t)$ when the forcing correlation length is much smaller than the system size and much bigger than the typical sharp valley width. In the time scales before the creation of the sharp valleys we find the exact generating function of $h-\bar h$ and $\partial_x h$. Then we express the time scale when the sharp valleys develop, in terms of the forcing characteristics. In the stationary state, when the sharp valleys are fully developed, finite size corrections to the scaling laws of the structure functions $$ are also obtained.

description: The Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) is the largest rural electric cooperative in the US. In this case, readers learn about various principal-agent problems that occurred at PEC and the steps taken to correct such problems. Electric cooperatives are a vital part of the US electrical grid. Providing electricity to 40 million people in 47 states, these cooperatives serve 85% of the nation’s land mass. This case follows the experience of PEC’s former General Manager Juan Garza. Also, benchmark financial and operating information are provided. At the conclusion, readers are asked questions about the selection method for a new general manager and also about how this cooperative might improve its efficiency.
Static quantities of the W boson in the SU_L(3) X U_X(1) model with right-handed neutrinos

description: The static electromagnetic properties of the $W$ boson, $Δκ$ and $ΔQ$, are calculated in the $SU_L(3)} \times U_X(1)$ model with right-handed neutrinos. The new contributions from this model arise from the gauge and scalar sectors. In the gauge sector there is a new contribution from a complex neutral gauge boson $Y^0$ and a singly-charged gauge boson $Y^\pm$. The mass of these gauge bosons, called bileptons, is expected to be in the range of a few hundreds of GeV according to the current bounds from experimental data. If the bilepton masses are of the order of 200 GeV, the size of their contribution is similar to that obtained in other weakly coupled theories. However the contributions to both $ΔQ$ and $Δκ$ are negligible for very heavy or degenerate bileptons. As for the scalar sector, an scenario is examined in which the contribution to the $W$ form factors is identical to that of a two-Higgs-doublet model. It is found that this sector would not give large corrections to $Δκ$ and $ΔQ$.
