description: One of the most accepted models that describe the anomalous thermal behavior of amorphous materials at temperatures below 1 K relies on the quantum mechanical tunneling of atoms between two nearly equivalent potential energy wells forming a two-level system (TLS). Indirect evidence for TLSs is widely available. However, the atomistic structure of these TLSs remains an unsolved topic in the physics of amorphous materials. Here, using classical molecular dynamics, we found several hitherto unknown bistable structural motifs that may be key to understanding the anomalous thermal properties of amorphous alumina at low temperatures. We show through free energy profiles that the complex potential energy surface can be reduced to canonical TLSs. The predicted tunnel splittings from instanton theory, the number density, dipole moment, and coupling to external strain of the discovered motifs are consistent with experiments.

Ship navigation and fuel profiling based on noon report using neural network generative modeling
Creators: name: Tay, Zhi Yung
Publisher: name: Singapore Institute of Technology
Year: 2023
Subjects: Maritime transportation and freight services

description: Harbor craft historical routes contain valuable information on how the experienced crews navigate around the known waters while performing jobs. The noon report logs each job timeframe which can be used to segregate the time-series positional data as routes. Other information from the noon report such as fuel consumption could be associated with a particular job as well. This paper offers a solution to encompass crew navigational experience into neural network models. The variational autoencoder, which is a generative model, can capture the routes into a knowledge base model. The same variational autoencoder is also able to train other neural networks to make predictions of route and fuel consumption based on job metadata (I.e., job duration, activity area, and route classification). The predicted routes could be used as a cost map for pathfinding algorithms such as A* or Dijkstra.

Statistical fractal analysis of 25 young star clusters

description: A large sample of young stellar groups is analysed aiming to investigate their clustering properties and dynamical evolution. A comparison of the Q statistical parameter, measured for the clusters, with the fractal dimension estimated for the projected clouds shows that 52% of the sample has substructures and tends to follow the theoretically expected relation between clusters and clouds, according to calculations for artificial distribution of points. The fractal statistics was also compared to structural parameters revealing that clusters having radial density profile show a trend of parameter s increasing with mean surface stellar density. The core radius of the sample, as a function of age, follows a distribution similar to that observed in stellar groups of Milky Way and other galaxies. They also have dynamical age, indicated by their crossing time that is similar to unbound associations. The statistical analysis allowed us to separate the sample into two groups showing different clustering characteristics. However, they have the same dynamical evolution, since the whole sample has been revealed as expanding objects, for which the substructures seem to have not been erased. These results are in agreement with simulations that adopt low surface densities and models under supervirial conditions.

description: In contrast to traditional video retrieval that represents visual content with low-level features (e.g. color and texture), emerging concept-based video retrieval allows users to search video archives by specifying a limited number of high-level concepts (e.g. outdoors and car). Recent studies have demonstrated the feasibility of concept-based retrieval, but a fundamental question remains: what kinds of concepts should we index? We analyze a large video archive annotated with more than a thousand high-level concepts, and develop guidelines for choosing concepts of high utility to video retrieval.

Self-labelling of tugboat operation using unsupervised machine learning and intensity indicator
Creators: name: Tay, Zhi Yung
Publisher: name: Singapore Institute of Technology
Year: 2023
Subjects: Maritime transportation and freight services

description: The digital data related to the tugboat's actual operation, such as a time sequence of fuel consumption and speed, is usually unlabeled or untagged to a particular activity such as tugging or cruising. There is a great interest in identifying the type of operation for a particular data point for tugboats. The operation type is an operational label for every data point that is essential for further analytics, as operations for tugging and cruising use different fuel and navigation profiles. Therefore, it is important to eventually handle them separately. This paper aims to develop a self-labelling framework for tugboat operation by using unsupervised machine learning and a proposed intensity indicator by considering two sets of data, namely: the positional data and the fuel consumption rate data. The fuel consumption data are actual data obtained from mass flowmeters installed on tugboats whereas the positional data are navigational data purchased from marine data aggregators. The developed self-labelling enables ship operators in identifying operations and locations that require heavy fuel consumption. It can also be used for further big data analytics and machine learning for fuel consumption prediction when given vessel speeds.

Frictionless expectations: when bioethics travels to Serbia
Creators: name: Lassiter, Dragana
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Over the last seven years, the European Union (EU) has promoted the institutionalization of bioethics in Serbia as part of EU citizenship. This paper looks at what it is about bioethics that makes it possible to take its universal application for granted and why are actors such as the Consul of Europe invested in transporting bioethics from their origins in the United States and Western Europe to Serbia. I start by examining discourse around institutionalized bioethics that makes transplanting of its ideas and practices appear unproblematic. Drawing on the concept of audit cultures and looking at bioethics as an audit mechanism, I show how promoting bioethics becomes an ethical end in itself. Finally, I consider how Westerners have historically construed Serbia as backwards, savage, and violent. I suggest that promoting bioethics as a condition of EU citizenship might be a means of making ethical subjects or of civilizing Serbia.

(HSG), Heterorhabditis sp. (HKM)) and a commercial formulation of H. indica for four different time periods and they were found to be susceptible to all the EPN tested. Appreciably acceptable performance was attained by H. bacteriophora (HRJ), which exhibited 91.7% mortality of S. litura larvae in 96 h exposure period against third instar larvae, while H. indica produced 83.0% mortality. All the tested EPN species were also found to reproduce within the host and produce first generation infective juveniles. This study concluded that all the three tested indigenous EPN species produced > 90.0% mortality of third instar larvae of S. litura. All tested EPN were also found to replicate within the host and maximum production of IJ was recorded in H. indica (26.3 ± 3.76 × 103 IJ larva–1) and H. bacteriophora (HRJ) (26.0 ± 1.73 × 103 IJ larva–1) at the concentration of 40 IJ larva–1.

Smooth and sharp creation of a Dirichlet wall in 1+1 quantum field theory: how singular is the sharp creation limit?

description: We present and utilize a simple formalism for the smooth creation of boundary conditions within relativistic quantum field theory. We consider a massless scalar field in $(1+1)$-dimensional flat spacetime and imagine smoothly transitioning from there being no boundary condition to there being a two-sided Dirichlet mirror. The act of doing this, expectantly, generates a flux of real quanta that emanates from the mirror as it is being created. We show that the local stress-energy tensor of the flux is finite only if an infrared cutoff is introduced, no matter how slowly the mirror is created, in agreement with the perturbative results of Obadia and Parentani. In the limit of instantaneous mirror creation the total energy injected into the field becomes ultraviolet divergent, but the response of an Unruh-DeWitt particle detector passing through the infinite burst of energy nevertheless remains finite. Implications for vacuum entanglement extraction and for black hole firewalls are discussed.

A decoupled Custodial Copy for cloud-based Digital Preservation Systems
Creators: name: Daly, Steve
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Many archives are making use of cloud-based managed services for Digital Preservation and this can provide a pragmatic way of delivering the long-term storage and active management of digital records without reliance on in-house technical expertise and infrastructure. But not all organisations are comfortable with fully outsourcing the responsibility for holding digital records, and may also worry about topics such as exit planning when moving to a new supplier or business continuity and disaster recovery in case of short or long-term issues with the cloud platform or provider. Generally, some archives will be more comfortable if they also hold their own copy of their digital records in a form that can be read without need for proprietary systems or products.

The National Archives (UK) is making use of a cloud-based managed service for the actively managed and immediately accessible copy of their records but has also built a Custodial Copy system which automatically and immediately takes a copy of all records as they appear in the cloud-based system, and sends a copy to decoupled off-cloud storage. These digital records won’t just be an IT backup of the cloud platform but will be stored in an product-agnostic standardised form, using the Oxford Common File Layout, and with each file accompanied by an up-to-date copy of all the metadata describing the record. This Custodial Copy is intended to be a fully complete and self-describing representation of the digital archive which could be used as a source for future migrations or for access to these records outside of the cloud platform. This poster describes some of the challenges which have been encountered when designing and implementing this capability, and the solutions that have been developed to address these. All the developed software is published on GitHub as Open Source and it is hoped that other archives will benefit from this work.

description: We report on high resolution CO(1-0), CS(2-1) and 3mm continuum Combined Array for Research in Millimeter Astronomy (CARMA) observations of the molecular outflow host and nearest quasar Markarian 231. We use the CS(2-1) measurements to derive a dense gas mass within Mrk231 of $1.8\pm0.3\times10^{10}~M_\odot$, consistent with previous measurements. The CS(2-1) data also seem to indicate that the molecular disk of Mrk231 is forming stars at about normal efficiency. The high resolution CARMA observations were able to resolve the CO(1-0) outflow into two distinct lobes, allowing for a size estimate to be made and further constraining the molecular outflow dynamical time, further constraining the molecular gas escape rate. We find that 15% of the molecular gas within the Mrk231 outflow actually exceeds the escape velocity in the central kiloparsec. Assuming that molecular gas is not constantly being accelerated, we find the depletion timescale of molecular gas in Mrk231 to be 49Myr, rather than 32Myr, more consistent with the poststarburst stellar population observed in the system.

Model Implied Instrumental Variable Estimation for Multilevel Confirmatory Factor Analysis

description: Multilevel Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MCFA) models are most commonly estimated with full information maximum likelihood (FIML). FIML is asymptotically efficient and asymptotically unbiased given correct model specification and no excessive multivariate kurtosis.  When these assumptions are violated, we have no guarantee about the asymptotic properties of FIML.  In single level SEMs, the Model Implied Instrument Variable (MIIV-2SLS) estimator has been shown to be an excellent alternative to maximum likelihood. Following prior work for single level SEMs, this paper develops two MIIV-2SLS estimators for MCFA models. I evaluate both estimators in comparison to FIML with a Monte Carlo simulation study varying number of clusters, cluster size, distribution of data, balance of clusters and correct versus incorrect model specifications. Results suggest that both MIIV estimators are good alternatives to FIML across a variety of conditions. Most importantly, they are more robust to model misspecification and offer local tests of fit with Sargan’s test. The primary limitation found in this simulation study suggests that these estimators may underestimate standard errors given small number of clusters, unbalanced clusters, and skew/kurtosis.

description: BACKGROUND: Mindfulness meditation training interventions have been shown to improve markers of health, but the underlying neurobiological mechanisms are not known. Building on initial cross-sectional research showing that mindfulness meditation may increase default mode network (DMN) resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) with regions important in top-down executive control (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex [dlPFC]), here we test whether mindfulness meditation training increases DMN-dlPFC rsFC and whether these rsFC alterations prospectively explain improvements in interleukin (IL)-6 in a randomized controlled trial.
METHODS: Stressed job-seeking unemployed community adults (n = 35) were randomized to either a 3-day intensive residential mindfulness meditation or relaxation training program. Participants completed a 5-minute resting-state scan before and after the intervention program. Participants also provided blood samples at preintervention and at 4-month follow-up, which were assayed for circulating IL-6, a biomarker of systemic inflammation.
RESULTS: We tested for alterations in DMN rsFC using a posterior cingulate cortex seed-based analysis and found that mindfulness meditation training, and not relaxation training, increased posterior cingulate cortex rsFC with left dlPFC (p < .05, corrected). These pretraining to posttraining alterations in posterior cingulate cortex-dlPFC rsFC statistically mediated mindfulness meditation training improvements in IL-6 at 4-month follow-up. Specifically, these alterations in rsFC statistically explained 30% of the overall mindfulness meditation training effects on IL-6 at follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide the first evidence that mindfulness meditation training functionally couples the DMN with a region known to be important in top-down executive control at rest (left dlPFC), which, in turn, is associated with improvements in a marker of inflammatory disease risk.

description: Many-body correlations govern a variety of important quantum phenomena such as the emergence of superconductivity and magnetism. Understanding quantum many-body systems is thus one of the central goals of modern sciences. Here we demonstrate an experimental approach towards this goal by utilizing an ultracold Rydberg gas generated with a broadband picosecond laser pulse. We follow the ultrafast evolution of its electronic coherence by time-domain Ramsey interferometry with attosecond precision. The observed electronic coherence shows an ultrafast oscillation with a period of 1 femtosecond, whose phase shift on the attosecond timescale is consistent with many-body correlations among Rydberg atoms beyond mean-field approximations. This coherent and ultrafast many-body dynamics is actively controlled by tuning the orbital size and population of the Rydberg state, as well as the mean atomic distance. Our approach will offer a versatile platform to observe and manipulate non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems on the ultrafast timescale.

description: In the present work, the adsorption of some simple organic sulfur gases (CS2, OCS, and CH3SH) on the g-C3N4 was studied using periodic and non-periodic density functional theory (DFT). PBE-D3/DNP and B3LYP-D3/6-31G(d) levels of theory were employed for periodic and non-periodic calculations, respectively. The calculated CS2, OCS, and CH3SH adsorption energies were obtained to be −4.35, −5.82, and −8.58 Kcal/mol. The interactions of simple organic sulfur gases with g-C3N4 were characterized by NBO second-order perturbation theory and quantum theory of atom in molecule (QTAIM). The bandgap energies and work function of g-C3N4 and its complexes with simple organic sulfur gases were extracted from their band structures. The CS2 and OCS adsorptions didn’t significantly alter the bandgap and work function of g-C3N4. Therefore, g-C3N4 is not a proper sensor for detecting CS2 and OCS. The bandgap and work function of g-C3N4 were averagely changed by 18% and 2.7%, respectively, after CH3SH adsorption. Accordingly, g-C3N4 may use as a suitable sensor for detecting CH3SH based on electronic conductivity and work function.
For peace and friendship of all countries: Soviet citizens' opinions of peace during the Cold War, May 1960

description: This thesis analyzes a public opinion survey that sociologist Boris Grushin conducted in the Soviet Union in May 1960. His survey asked average Soviet citizens about war and peace immediately following a Cold War incident in which the Soviet military destroyed an American U-2 spy plane that had violated Soviet airspace. This thesis questions why, despite resulting heightened tensions between the superpowers, 96.8 percent of survey respondents expressed confidence that humanity could prevent war. I argue that, while propaganda promoting Khrushchev's peaceful coexistence policy influenced every respondent, some respondents emphasized different official policies and explanations for events, demonstrating a degree of independence from propaganda. Furthermore, respondents justified belief in peace and integrated themselves into a collective war narrative by describing experiences of World War II. Finally, I show that official interest in public opinion reflects Khrushchev-era political and cultural reforms, especially in Soviet journalism and sociology.

description: In this publication, we reported an efficient MOF-based catalytic system for the synthesis of thiopyran and oxospiro-indolinethiopyran derivatives. For the first time, magnetic NH2.MIL-101(Fe)/ED was synthesized through anchoring FeCl3 on CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles surface and then 2-aminoterphthalic acid was used to form MOF structure. In the final step, metal centers were modified with ethylenediamine (ED). Different techniques such as Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Field emission scanning electron microscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, and Thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize the catalyst structure. Also using X-ray crystallography, the structure of the final product was determined. Nanomagnetic NH2.MIL-101(Fe)/ED gave us a satisfactory answer, affording the corresponding products with high to excellent yields (up to 93% yield). It seems that among the other available procedures, this catalytic system provided higher final product yields which result from the superior activity of this synthesized catalyst.

description: The concept of topological insulator (TI) has introduced a new point of view to condensed-matter physics, relating a priori unrelated subfields such as quantum (spin, anomalous) Hall effects, spin-orbit coupled materials, some classes of nodal superconductors and superfluid $^3$He, etc. From a technological point of view, topological insulator is expected to serve as a platform for realizing dissipationless transport in a non-superconducting context. The topological insulator exhibits a gapless surface state with a characteristic conic dispersion (a surface Dirac cone). Here, we review peculiar finite-size effects applicable to such surface states in TI nanostructures. We highlight the specific electronic properties of TI nanowires and nanoparticles, and in this context contrast the cases of weak and strong TIs. We study robustness of the surface and the bulk of TIs against disorder, addressing the physics of Dirac and Weyl semimetals as a new perspective of research in the field.

description: Humans routinely make inductive generalizations about unobserved features of objects. Previous accounts of inductive reasoning often focus on inferences about a single object or feature: accounts of causal reasoning often focus on a single object with one or more unobserved features, and accounts of property induction often focus on a single feature that is unobserved for one or more objects. We explore problems where people must make inferences about multiple objects and features, and propose that people solve these problems by integrating knowledge about features with knowledge about objects. We evaluate three computational methods for integrating multiple systems of knowledge: the output combination approach combines the outputs produced by these systems, the distribution combination approach combines the probability distributions captured by these systems, and the structure combination approach combines a graph structure over features with a graph structure over objects. Three experiments explore problems where participants make inferences that draw on causal relationships between features and taxonomic relationships between animals, and we find that the structure combination approach provides the best account of our data.
