description: We prove an identity for sesquilinear maps from the Cartesian square of a vector space to a geometric mean closed Archimedean (real or complex) vector lattice, from which the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality follows. A reformulation of this result for sesquilinear maps with a geometric mean closed semiprime Archimedean (real or complex) $f$-algebra as codomain is also given. In addition, a sufficient and necessary condition for equality is presented. We also prove the Hölder inequality for weighted geometric mean closed Archimedean (real or complex) $Φ$-algebras, improving results by Boulabiar and Toumi. As a consequence, the Minkowski inequality for weighted geometric mean closed Archimedean (real or complex) $Φ$-algebras is obtained.

description: In this paper, we study various cosmological parameters and quantities in scalar-tensor gravity from inflation and swampland conjecture. Therefore, by selecting different models such as power-law, exponential, and logarithmic in the framework of scalar-tensor theory, we obtain potential, tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the scalar spectral index. Next, we examine new constraints and compare the corresponding results with the latest observable data. Here, we take advantage of the obtained results and determine the compatibility or incompatibility of the corresponding model with the swampland conjectures

description: Many structural applications are atracted to natural fbre-reinforced polymeric com?posites due to their eco-friendliness, recyclability, and cost-efectiveness. While signif?cant progress has been made, their interface compatibility with the polymeric matrix is still challenging. Therefore, the present study proposed a method for improving the mechanical and dynamic mechanical performance of fax-reinforced novel methyl?methacrylate (Elium®) and urethane acrylate (Crestapol®) composites. The technique involved the dispersion of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in the matrix at diferent weight percentages (0.5–0.75%) to improve the fbre/matrix interface. Flax/Elium® (FE) and fax/Crestapol® (FC) composites with varying weight percentages of MCC were manufactured using the vacuum infusion method. The resulting improvements in mechanical and dynamic properties were evaluated through in-plane shear (± 45° tensile), fexural, short beam shear, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The efects of MCC on these properties of fax/Elium® were compared to those of fax/ Crestapol® composites. The addition of MCC improved the in-plane shear strength (FE: 13–20%, FC: 10–17%), fexural strength (FE: 6–13%, FC: 13%) and interlaminar shear strength (FE: 9–17%, FC: 10–20%). Also, FE composite showed 7–11%, 10–14% and 10–17% higher in-plane shear, fexural and interlaminar shear strengths, respec?tively, compared to FC composites. The DMA results confrmed the positive efect of Elium® resin and MCC on the dynamic storage and loss modulus.

description: Massive stars are the progenitors of black holes and neutron stars, the mergers of which can be detected with gravitational waves (GW). The expansion of massive stars is one of the key factors affecting their evolution in close binary systems, but it remains subject to large uncertainties in stellar astrophysics. For population studies and predictions of GW sources, the stellar expansion is often simulated with the analytic formulae from Hurley et al. (2000). These formulae need to be extrapolated for stars beyond 50 solar masses and are often considered outdated. In this work we present five different prescriptions developed from 1D stellar models to constrain the maximum expansion of massive stars. We adopt these prescriptions to investigate how stellar expansion affects mass transfer interactions and in turn the formation of GW sources. We show that limiting radial expansion with updated 1D stellar models, when compared to the use of Hurley et al. (2000) radial expansion formulae, does not significantly affect GW source properties (rates and masses). This is because most mass transfer events leading to GW sources are initialised before the donor star reaches its maximum expansion. The only significant difference was found for the mass distribution of massive binary black hole mergers (total mass > 50 solar masses) formed from stars that may evolve beyond the Humphreys-Davidson limit, whose radial expansion is the most uncertain. We conclude that understanding the expansion of massive stars and the origin of the Humphrey-Davidson limit is a key factor for the study of GW sources.

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of brand image on customer satisfaction and loyalty in Ethiopian Insurance Corporation Addis Abeba customers. The study tried to explain the relationship between brand image and customer satisfaction and loyalty, the effect of brand image on customer satisfaction, and the mediating effect of customer satisfaction in brand imagecustomer loyalty relationship. Brand image benefits (i.e. functional, experiential and symbolic benefits) are used as independent variables and customer satisfaction and customer loyalty as dependent variables. Besides, questionnaires are used as data collection instrument from respondents. Correlation analysis used to analyze the relationship between the variables and regression analysis is performed to examine the effect of brand image on customer satisfaction and loyalty. The results showed that brand image benefits and customer satisfaction are positively correlated, and customer satisfaction and customer loyalty are also significantly affected by brand image benefits with different degrees. Moreover, the mediating effect of customer satisfaction in relationship to brand image benefits - customer loyalty is found partially but significant. Organizations should take into account improving and/or building of brand image so that they can be competent and have increase their market share by successful achieving customer satisfaction and loyalty.

description: We present an extension to the general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic code HARMRAD to account for emission and absorption by thermal cyclo-synchrotron, double Compton, bremsstrahlung, low-temperature OPAL opacities as well as Thomson and Compton scattering. We approximate the radiation field as a Bose-Einstein distribution and evolve it using the radiation number-energy-momentum conservation equations in order to track photon hardening. We perform various simulations to study how these extensions affect the radiative properties of magnetically-arrested disks accreting at Eddington to super-Eddington rates. We find that double Compton dominates bremsstrahlung in the disk within a radius of $r\sim 15r_g$ (gravitational radii) at a hundred times the Eddington accretion rate, and within smaller radii at lower accretion rates. Double Compton and cyclo-synchrotron regulate radiation and gas temperatures in the corona, while cyclo-synchrotron regulates temperatures in the jet. Interestingly, as the accretion rate drops to Eddington, an optically thin corona develops whose gas temperature of $T\sim 10^9$K is $\sim 100$ times higher than the disk's black body temperature. Our results show the importance of double Compton and synchrotron in super-Eddington disks, magnetized coronae, and jets.

description: Despite the huge advances made by researchers in recent years in understanding environmental exposures and their biological effects, there are still many gaps in knowledge. For example, the incidence of diseases such as cancer is rising, and the exposome risk factors behind this increase are not fully understood. HEAP will provide a research framework that exploits emerging technologies to expand the knowledge and understanding of the environmental factors that affect human health. It will include the following disciplines: Epigenomics The epigenome acts as the interface between the genome and the environment, and can be thought of as a mechanism of cellular memory that records environmental exposures, and which can potentially explain predisposition to late-onset disease such as cancer. Microbiomics Microbiomics uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to examine the DNA present in clinical samples, without the need for a reference database about existing sequences. Metabolomics Metabolomics is the quantitative analysis of small-molecule metabolites in biofluids and specimens. Metabolomic studies offer detailed and efficient characterization of human samples, with the aim of uncovering links between environmental factors and diseases. The human metabolome plays a key role in linking the individual genome with the environment through nutritional and exposure inputs. Advanced statistical analysis HEAP will focus on combining machine learning with computational statistics to develop powerful tools for statistical modelling. Education HEAP will focus on providing educational material to accompany the technological aspects mentioned above.

description: We consider the problem of approximating the ground state energy of a fermionic Hamiltonian using a Gaussian state. In sharp contrast to the dense case, we prove that strictly $q$-local $\rm {\textit {sparse}}$ fermionic Hamiltonians have a constant Gaussian approximation ratio; the result holds for any connectivity and interaction strengths. Sparsity means that each fermion participates in a bounded number of interactions, and strictly $q$-local means that each term involves exactly $q$ fermionic (Majorana) operators. We extend our proof to give a constant Gaussian approximation ratio for sparse fermionic Hamiltonians with both quartic and quadratic terms. With additional work, we also prove a constant Gaussian approximation ratio for the so-called sparse SYK model with strictly $4$-local interactions (sparse SYK-$4$ model). In each setting we show that the Gaussian state can be efficiently determined. Finally, we prove that the $O(n^{-1/2})$ Gaussian approximation ratio for the normal (dense) SYK-$4$ model extends to SYK-$q$ for even $q>4$, with an approximation ratio of $O(n^{1/2 - q/4})$. Our results identify non-sparseness as the prime reason that the SYK-$4$ model can fail to have a constant approximation ratio.

description: The poster outlines the initial steps in developing a methodology for predicting ice conditions through the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and model sea ice drift data. The study utilizes the Barents 2.5 v2 model to forecast sea ice drift, and the Chalmers alignment algorithm to warp the SAR images into the future. The ways of accuracy assessment of the model and algorithm are discussed. It is planned to compare the results with drift data derived automatically from subsequent true SAR1 and SAR2 images, as well as by comparing predicted and actual SAR2 images.

description: The opacity of FRTE depends on not only the material temperature but also the frequency, whose values may vary several orders of magnitude for different frequencies. The gray radiation diffusion and frequency-dependent diffusion equations are two simplified models that can approximate the solution to FRTE in the thick opacity regime. The frequency discretization for the two limit models highly affects the numerical accuracy. However, classical frequency discretization for FRTE considers only the absorbing coefficient. In this paper, we propose a new decomposed multi-group method for frequency discretization that is not only AP in both gray radiation diffusion and frequency-dependent diffusion limits, but also the frequency discretization of the limiting models can be tuned. Based on the decomposed multi-group method, a full AP scheme in frequency, time, and space is proposed. Several numerical examples are used to verify the performance of the proposed scheme.

description: By measuring the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) 1/T_1 relaxation rate in the Br (bond) doped DTN compound, Ni(Cl(1-x)Br_x)2-4SC(NH2)2 (DTNX), we show that the low-energy spin dynamics of its high magnetic field "Bose-glass" regime is dominated by a strong peak of spin fluctuations found at the nearly doping-independent position H* = 13.6 T. From its temperature and field dependence we conclude that this corresponds to a level crossing of the energy levels related to the doping-induced impurity states. Observation of the local NMR signal from the spin adjacent to the doped Br allowed us to fully characterize this impurity state. We have thus quantified a microscopic theoretical model that paves the way to better understanding of the Bose-glass physics in DTNX, as revealed in the related theoretical study [M. Dupont, S. Capponi, and N. Laflorencie, Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 067204 (2017), arXiv:1610.05136].

description: We study the smallest non-trivial matrix model that can be considered to be a (toy) model of a black hole. The model consists of a pair of $2\times 2$ traceless hermitian matrices with a commutator squared potential and an $SU(2)$ gauge symmetry, plus an $SO(2)$ rotation symmetry. We show that using the symmetries of the system, all but two of the variables can be separated. The two variables that remain display chaos and a transition from chaos to integrability when a parameter related to an $SO(2)$ angular momentum is tuned to a critical value. We compute the Lyapunov exponents near this transition and study the critical exponent of the Lyapunov exponents near the critical point. We compare this transition to extremal rotating black holes.

description: We present a new Gogny-type finite-range effective interaction including a third Gaussian in the central term. Based on simple arguments valid for an arbitrary radial form factor, the three ranges are fixed from physical grounds, relating them to one-boson exchange interactions. Moreover, some parameters of the longest range are fixed through the G-matrix elements of the One Pion Exchange Potential. On top of giving a fairly good description of atomic nuclei properties, the resulting interaction leads to a remarkable improvement of some infinite matter properties that are relevant for astrophysical calculations.

 Abstract: Developing sufficiently nuanced understandings of the digital is proving to be a key element of the ongoing renewal of contemporary education critique. The chapter offers an overview of how studies of education technology have begun to respond to broader shifts in digitally-related critical social science scholarship. This includes increased attention being paid to how education intersects with concepts such as platformization, datafication, automation and algorithmic governance. Against this background, the chapter then goes on to consider the directions that such work might progress over the next few years. In particular, it is suggested that this might generatively involve moving beyond the limitations of a ‘debunking’ critique and instead embracing the theoretical and methodological possibilities evident in the ‘post-critical’ turn emerging elsewhere in education studies.

description: We consider dense, associative neural-networks trained by a teacher (i.e., with supervision) and we investigate their computational capabilities analytically, via statistical-mechanics of spin glasses, and numerically, via Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, we obtain a phase diagram summarizing their performance as a function of the control parameters such as quality and quantity of the training dataset, network storage and noise, that is valid in the limit of large network size and structureless datasets: these networks may work in a ultra-storage regime (where they can handle a huge amount of patterns, if compared with shallow neural networks) or in a ultra-detection regime (where they can perform pattern recognition at prohibitive signal-to-noise ratios, if compared with shallow neural networks). Guided by the random theory as a reference framework, we also test numerically learning, storing and retrieval capabilities shown by these networks on structured datasets as MNist and Fashion MNist. As technical remarks, from the analytic side, we implement large deviations and stability analysis within Guerra's interpolation to tackle the not-Gaussian distributions involved in the post-synaptic potentials while, from the computational counterpart, we insert Plefka approximation in the Monte Carlo scheme, to speed up the evaluation of the synaptic tensors, overall obtaining a novel and broad approach to investigate supervised learning in neural networks, beyond the shallow limit, in general.

[Nature 588, 419 (2020)]. The Chern number is calculated by capturing the evolution of the phase boundaries with the parameters and then the Chern number phase diagrams of the TI multilayer structures are obtained. The high-C behavior is attributed to the band inversion of the renormalized Dirac cones, along with which the spin polarization at the Γpoint will get increased. Moreover, another two TI multilayer structures as well as the TI superlattice structures are also studied.

description: This paper investigates continuous-time quantum walks on directed bipartite graphs based on a graph's adjacency matrix. We prove that on bipartite graphs, probability transport between the two node partitions can be completely suppressed by tuning a model parameter $α$. We provide analytic solutions to the quantum walks for the star and circulant graph classes that are valid for an arbitrary value of the number of nodes $N$, time $t$ and the model parameter $α$. We discuss quantitative and qualitative aspects of quantum walks based on directed graphs and their undirected counterparts. Numerical simulations of quantum walks on circulant graphs show complex interference phenomena and how complete suppression of transport is achieved near $α=π/2$. By proving two mirror symmetries around $α=0$ and $π/2$ we show that these quantum walks have a period of $π$ in $α$. We show that undirected edges lose their effect on the quantum walk at $α=π/2$ and present non-bipartite graphs that exhibit suppression of transport. Finally, we analytically compute the Hamiltonians of quantum walks on the directed ring graph.

description: Text-guided 3D object generation aims to generate 3D objects described by user-defined captions, which paves a flexible way to visualize what we imagined. Although some works have been devoted to solving this challenging task, these works either utilize some explicit 3D representations (e.g., mesh), which lack texture and require post-processing for rendering photo-realistic views; or require individual time-consuming optimization for every single case. Here, we make the first attempt to achieve generic text-guided cross-category 3D object generation via a new 3D-TOGO model, which integrates a text-to-views generation module and a views-to-3D generation module. The text-to-views generation module is designed to generate different views of the target 3D object given an input caption. prior-guidance, caption-guidance and view contrastive learning are proposed for achieving better view-consistency and caption similarity. Meanwhile, a pixelNeRF model is adopted for the views-to-3D generation module to obtain the implicit 3D neural representation from the previously-generated views. Our 3D-TOGO model generates 3D objects in the form of the neural radiance field with good texture and requires no time-cost optimization for every single caption. Besides, 3D-TOGO can control the category, color and shape of generated 3D objects with the input caption. Extensive experiments on the largest 3D object dataset (i.e., ABO) are conducted to verify that 3D-TOGO can better generate high-quality 3D objects according to the input captions across 98 different categories, in terms of PSNR, SSIM, LPIPS and CLIP-score, compared with text-NeRF and Dreamfields.

description: We undertook a study of the mechanical transmission of parasitic organisms in cockroaches in the Samutprakarn province of Thailand. In this study, 920 cockroaches were obtained from 18 open-air shopping markets in 5 districts and 1 subdistrict of this province. All cockroaches were captured during their feeding time in their natural habitat. Direct wet smear and modified acid-fast bacilli staining were used to identify the parasites from the external surface or cuticle of the cockroaches. The results show that 498 (54.1 %) of the cockroaches harbored parasitic organisms. Of these, 56.1 % were protozoa and the remaining 43.9 % were helminthes (pathogenic helminthes- 1.4 %, non-pathogenic helminthes- 42.5 %). Of the pathogenic helminthes, the species included Strongyloides stercoralis (6 instances of the free-living adult male, 0.8 %), Ascaris lumbricoides (2 decorticated eggs, 0.3 %), Trichuris trichiura (2, 0.3 %), and Taenia spp. (1 egg, 0.1 %). The protozoa types that were identified included Cyclospora spp. (10 oocysts, 1.3 %), Endolimax nana (10 cysts, 1.3 %), B. hominis (9 instances of the vacuolated form, 1.2 %), Isospora belli (75 oocysts, 9.6 %), Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar (36 cysts, 4.6 %), Cryptosporidium spp. (220 oocysts, 28.1 %), Chilomastix mesnilli (2 cysts, 0.3 %), Entamoeba coli (31 cysts, 4.0 %), Balantidium coli (45 trophozoites, 5.8 %), and Iodamoeba butschlii (1 cyst, 0.1 %). These results show that cockroaches isolated from these markets are carriers of several parasitic organisms that cause commonly found symptoms of illness such as diarrhea or bowel disorder.

description: Using two different types of quantification for quantum steering, we study the influence of Hawking radiation on quantum steering for fermionic fields in Schwarzschild spacetime. The degradation for the steering between physically accessible observers and the generation for the steering between physically accessible and inaccessible observers induced by Hawking radiation are studied. We also reveal the difference between the two types of quantification for steering, and find some monogamy relations between steering and entanglement. Furthermore, we show the different properties between fermionic steering and bosonic steering in Schwarzschild spacetime.

Year: 2014

description: The purpose and scope of this study is to introduce used tyre pyrolysis business and provide general information on the project. Tyre pyrolysis is a process carried out in the absence of oxygen to recover fuel oil, gases, carbon char and steel from used tyres. The study is based on data gathered from pertinent secondary and primary sources, and certain assumptions. In the study, it is found that about 40,000 tons of scrap tyres are generated annually in Ethiopia currently, out of which about 6,000 tons per year are estimated to be available for pyrolysis project. The envisaged project will have adequate market for its products. A plant with 12 tons per day capacity with technology from China is selected. The best location for the project is in the outskirts of Addis Ababa or Oromia towns around Addis. The total investment cost of the project is estimated at Birr 12.6 million. The financial analysis shows that the project is viable in all measures of profitability analysis: The simple rate of return on total investment at full capacity operation is 52%; the payback period is 3.6 years including the construction period; the net present value (NPV) over the total investment, calculated at 12.5% discount rate, is positive (i.e., Birr 19,447,413); the internal rate of return (IRR) over the total investment is 43%; and annual cash surplus starts in the second year and continues to grow. The result of sensitivity analysis shows that the project is primarily sensitive to fuel oil sales price, and also to scrap tyre acquisition cost on secondary level. The feasibility of the project becomes marginal if the steel has no sales, and the project ceases to be feasible if both carbon black pellet and steel do not have market. This is in conformity with the findings in the literature. The project possesses wide range of benefits such as generation of social surplus and employment, import substitution and contribution to the transfer of technology. In addition, the project greatly contributes to the environmental protection effort by cleaning waste tyres, reducing the health and fire hazards and avoiding release of chemicals that harm the environment by open burning. Hence, the project is worth implementing, and it is recommended that interested parties should prepare a detailed feasibility study and start the project soon to get the first mover advantages. Key Words: Scrap Tyre Management, Scrap Tyre Pyrolysis, Project Feasibility Study, Tyre Pyrolysis Oil, Carbon Black/Char.

description: Presentation attack (spoofing) detection (PAD) typically operates alongside biometric verification to improve reliablity in the face of spoofing attacks. Even though the two sub-systems operate in tandem to solve the single task of reliable biometric verification, they address different detection tasks and are hence typically evaluated separately. Evidence shows that this approach is suboptimal. We introduce a new metric for the joint evaluation of PAD solutions operating in situ with biometric verification. In contrast to the tandem detection cost function proposed recently, the new tandem equal error rate (t-EER) is parameter free. The combination of two classifiers nonetheless leads to a \emph{set} of operating points at which false alarm and miss rates are equal and also dependent upon the prevalence of attacks. We therefore introduce the \emph{concurrent} t-EER, a unique operating point which is invariable to the prevalence of attacks. Using both modality (and even application) agnostic simulated scores, as well as real scores for a voice biometrics application, we demonstrate application of the t-EER to a wide range of biometric system evaluations under attack. The proposed approach is a strong candidate metric for the tandem evaluation of PAD systems and biometric comparators.

description: Strong evidence for dual superconformal symmetry in $\mathcal{N} = 6$ superconformal Chern-Simons theory has fueled expectations that the AdS/CFT dual geometry $AdS_4 \times \mathbb{C} P^3$ is self-dual under T-duality. We revisit the problem to identify commuting bosonic and fermionic isometries in a systematic fashion and show that fermionic T-duality, a symmetry originally proposed by Berkovits & Maldacena, inevitably leads to a singularity in the dilaton transformation. We show that TsT deformations commute with fermionic T-duality and comment on T-duality in the corresponding sigma model. Our results rule out self-duality based on fermionic T-duality for $AdS_4 \times \mathbb{C} P^3$ or its TsT deformations, but leave the door open for new possibilities.

description: At $x\approx0.25$ $\mathrm{Ba}_{1-x}\mathrm{K}_{x}\mathrm{Fe}_{2}\mathrm{As}_{2}$ undergoes a novel first-order transition from a four-fold symmetric double-Q magnetic phase to a two-fold symmetric single-Q phase, which was argued to occur simultaneously with the onset of superconductivity (Böhmer et al., Nat. Comm. 6, 7911 (2015)). Here, by applying magnetic fields up to 10T, we investigate in more detail the interplay of superconductivity with this magneto-structural transition using a combination of high-resolution thermal-expansion and heat-capacity measurements. We find that a magnetic field suppresses the reentrance of the single-Q orthorhombic phase more strongly than the superconducting transition, resulting in a splitting of the zero-field first-order transition. The suppression rate of the orthorhombic reentrance transition is stronger for out-of-plane than for in-plane fields and scales with the anisotropy of the superconducting state. These effects are captured within a phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau model, strongly suggesting that the suppression of the reentrant orthorhombic single-Q phase is primarily linked to the field-induced weakening of the superconducting order. Not captured by this model is however a strong reduction of the orthorhombic distortion for out-of-plane fields, which deserves further theoretical attention.
