description: There are a wide variety of scientific contribution rating indices including the impact factor and h-index. These are used for quantitative analyses on research papers published in the past, and therefore unable to incorporate in the assessment the growth, or deterioration, of the research area: whether the research area of a particular paper is in decline or conversely in a growing trend. Other hand, the use of the conventional rating indices may result in higher rates for papers that are hardly referenced nowadays in other papers although frequently cited in the past. This study proposes a new type of scientific contribution ranking index, "Growing Degree of Research Area and Variance Values Index (GV-Index)". The GV-Index is computed by a principal component analysis based on an estimated value obtained by PageRank Algorithm, which takes into account the growing degree of the research area and its variance. We also propose visualization system of a scientist's network using the GV-Index.

description:
Overdose deaths have quietly declined in nearly all states for years, and 19 have returned close to pre-pandemic baseline. But improvements have been uneven. Too many people we love are still dying. To understand what’s working and who is left behind, we must understand when and where declines started.


When did overdose declines start? This infographic from the Opioid Data Lab displays sparklines showing that overdoses started declining in 2022-23. There is a distinct east-to-west pattern across the Untied States.

title: Regional variation in diet and crop choices: a comparison of Roman Italy and the Near East
Creators: name: Feito, Jessica N.
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines plant production and consumption in Roman period Italy and the Near East by means of archaeobotanical meta-analysis. The aim of this study is to shed light on the effects that the Roman Empire had on foodways in these two regions, which have received less attention in terms of large-scale archaeobotanical studies. Such an endeavour necessarily entails the reconstruction of dietary patterns, cultivation practices, and aspects of the agricultural economy more broadly. In comparing two very distinct regions, the disparate ways that socio-cultural, environmental, and political-economic setting impacted crop choices and dietary patterns may be better understood. In order to achieve this, published archaeobotanical data have been collated along with primary evidence examined by the author, from the sites of Jerash in modern-day Jordan, and Hippos-Sussita in Israel. The dataset is comprised of both presence/absence and fully quantified data, resulting in a two-tiered approach to data analysis, which utilises both frequencies and abundance. The distribution of remains are analysed by site type, chronological period, as well as region, and the results are integrated with ancient literary sources. The results include evidence of agricultural expansion and intensification in the Roman period in both regions, though the diversity characterising agricultural regimes, which would have incorporated an array of intensive and extensive techniques, is emphasised. The distribution of cash crops such as olive and grape suggests that while viticulture was universally important throughout the study period, olive oil production shows regional fluctuations and may have been affected by comparative advantage. Other findings include a rise in dietary diversity in the Roman Imperial period in both regions, particularly with regards to fruit remains, speaking to the increased prevalence of horticulture throughout the Roman world. Plant consumption, in general, appears to have been at once regionally distinctive as well as subject to interregional trends. It is also possible to detect regional variations in fuel economies, with alternative fuel sources being comparatively more important in the East than in Italy. The evidence also suggests shifts in fuel use over the course of the study period, with agricultural by-products rising in prominence in the Near East. The results from the Late Roman period show considerable variation between the two regions, and have implications concerning the impact of socio-economic and climatic instability on the resilience of agricultural systems.

description: Soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are slowly rotating, isolated neutron stars that sporadically undergo episodes of long-term flux enhancement (outbursts) generally accompanied by the emission of short bursts of hard X-rays. This behaviour can be understood in the magnetar model, according to which these sources are mainly powered by their own magnetic energy. This is supported by the fact that the magnetic fields inferred from several observed properties of AXPs and SGRs are greater than - or at the high end of the range of - those of radio pulsars. In the peculiar case of SGR 0418+5729, a weak dipole magnetic moment is derived from its timing parameters, whereas a strong field has been proposed to reside in the stellar interior and in multipole components on the surface. Here we show that the X-ray spectrum of SGR 0418+5729 has an absorption line, the properties of which depend strongly on the star's rotational phase. This line is interpreted as a proton cyclotron feature and its energy implies a magnetic field ranging from 2E14 gauss to more than 1E15 gauss.

description: This article discusses the behavior of submonolayer quantum films (He and H2) on graphene and newly discovered surfaces that are derived from graphene. Among these substrates are graphane (abbreviated GH), which has an H atom bonded to each C atom, and fluorographene (GF). For the graphite case, extensive experimental and theoretical investigations have revealed that the phase diagrams of the bose gases 4He and para-H2 are qualitatively similar, differing primarily in a higher characteristic temperature scale for H2 than for He. The phase behaviors of these films on one side of pristine graphene, or both sides of free-standing graphene, are expected to be similar to those on graphite. We point out the possibility of novel phenomena in adsorption on graphene related to the large flexibility of the graphene sheet, to the non--negligible interaction between atoms adsorbed on opposite sides of the sheet and to the perturbation effect of the adsorbed layer on the Dirac electrons. In contrast, the behaviors predicted on GF and GH surfaces are very different from those on graphite, a result of the different corrugation, i.e., the lateral variation of the potential experienced by these gases. As a result of this novel geometry and potential, distinct properties are observed. For example, the 4He film's ground-state on graphite is a two-dimensional (2D) crystal commensurate with the substrate; on GF and GH, instead, it is predicted to be an anisotropic superfluid. On GF the anisotropy is so extreme that the roton excitations are very anisotropic, as if the bosons are moving in a multiconnected space along the bonds of a honeycomb lattice. Such a novel phase has not been predicted or observed previously on any substrate. Also, in the case of 3He the film's ground-state is a fluid, thus offering the possibility of studying an anisotropic Fermi fluid with a tunable density.

White Paper

description: TAILSIT is a company based in Graz, Austria, that produces custom-fit simulation software tools for computational electromagnetics and structural analysis. Its unique selling proposition is a numerical software library based on a coupled Finite/Boundary Element Method (FEM/BEM) for the efficient analysis of electromagnetic problems. A major building block of the software is represented by the BEM which, in its naive implementation, has a quadratic complexity: runtime and memory requirements scale with the second power of the system size. In order to overcome this limitation, TAILSIT uses the Fast Multipole Method (FMM) where the scaling of the computational costs reduce to almost linear complexity. But even with this acceleration technique, the use of the BEM is rather limited on an average desktop workstation. During this SHAPE project TAILSIT’s electromagnetic simulation software has been ported to HPC machines with the support of the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC, https://vsc.ac.at) at TU Wien and using their computing resources. Thorough performance analyses have led to significant runtime improvements and a good overall scaling for up to a few thousand CPUs. Whereas TAILSIT’s previous implementation of the FMM could handle about 106 degrees of freedom, within this project we achieved problem sizes of up to 50 · 10.

description: We report the experimental preparation of optical superpositions of high orbital angular momenta(OAM). Our method is based on the use of spatial light modulator to modify the standard Laguerre-Gaussian beams to bear excessive phase helices. We demonstrate the surprising performance of a traditional Mach-Zehnder interferometer with one inserted Dove prism to identify these superposed twisted lights, where the high OAM numbers as well as their possible superpositions can be inferred directly from the interfered bright multiring lattices. The possibility of present scheme working at photon-count level is also shown using an electron multiplier CCD camera. Our results hold promise in high-dimensional quantum information applications when high quanta are beneficial.

Early orotracheal intubation is critical in managing airway burns due to swelling and potential obstruction. This case report describes a 66-year-old male with 36% total body surface area burns predominantly affecting the face, neck, and upper extremities. We detail the circumstances leading to early intubation, the techniques used, and post-intubation care. This case illustrates the necessity for timely airway intervention to ensure ventilation and reduce morbidity associated with burn injuries.

description: We present Keck laser guide star adaptive optics observations of the nearby buried QSO F08572+3915:NW. We use near-infrared integral field data taken with OSIRIS to reveal a compact disk and molecular outflow using Pa-alpha and H_2 rotational-vibrational transitions at a spatial resolution of 100 pc. The outflow emerges perpendicular to the disk into a bicone of one-sided opening angle 100 degrees up to distances of 400 pc from the nucleus. The integrated outflow velocities, which reach at least -1300 km/s, correspond exactly to those observed in (unresolved) OH absorption, but are smaller (larger) than those observed on larger scales in the ionized (neutral atomic) outflow. These data represent a factor of >10 improvement in the spatial resolution of molecular outflows from mergers/QSOs, and plausibly represent the early stages of the excavation of the dust screen from a buried QSO.

description: Capturing pupil diameter is essential for assessing psychological and physiological states such as stress levels and cognitive load. However, the low resolution of images in eye datasets often hampers precise measurement. This study evaluates the impact of various upscaling methods, ranging from bicubic interpolation to advanced super-resolution, on pupil diameter predictions. We compare several pre-trained methods, including CodeFormer, GFPGAN, Real-ESRGAN, HAT, and SRResNet. Our findings suggest that pupil diameter prediction models trained on upscaled datasets are highly sensitive to the selected upscaling method and scale. Our results demonstrate that upscaling methods consistently enhance the accuracy of pupil diameter prediction models, highlighting the importance of upscaling in pupilometry. Overall, our work provides valuable insights for selecting upscaling techniques, paving the way for more accurate assessments in psychological and physiological research.

description: The NA61 Experiment at CERN SPS is a large acceptance hadron spectrometer, aimed to studying of hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus interactions in a fixed target environment. The present paper discusses the construction and performance of the Low Momentum Particle Detector (LMPD), a small time projection chamber unit which has been added to the NA61 setup in 2012. The LMPD considerably extends the detector acceptance towards the backward region, surrounding the target in hadron-nucleus interactions. The LMPD features simultaneous range and ionization measurements, which allows for particle identification and momentum measurement in the 0.1-0.25 GeV/c momentum range for protons. The possibility of Z=1 particle identification in this range is directly demonstrated.

description: High-contrast imaging will be a challenge for future ELTs, because their vibrations create low-order aberrations - mostly tip/tilt - that reduce coronagraphic performances at 1.2 lambda/D and above. A Low-Order WaveFront Sensor (LOWFS) is essential to measure and control those aberrations. An experiment simulating a starlight suppression system is currently developed at NASA Ames Research Center, and includes a LOWFS controlling tip/tilt modes in real-time at 500 Hz. The LOWFS allowed us to reduce the tip/tilt disturbances to 1e-3 lambda/D rms, enhancing the previous contrast by a decade, to 8e-7 between 1.2 and 2 lambda/D. A Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller is currently implemented to improve even more that result by reducing residual vibrations. This testbed is developed for the mission EXCEDE (EXoplanetary Circumstellar Environments and Disk Explorer), selected by NASA for technology development, and designed to study the formation, evolution and architectures of exoplanetary systems and characterize circumstellar environments into stellar habitable zones. It is composed of a 0.7 m telescope equipped with a Phase-Induced Amplitude Apodization Coronagraph (PIAA-C) and a 2000-element MEMS deformable mirror, capable of raw contrasts of 1e-6 at 1.2 lambda/D and 1e-7 above 2 lambda/D. Although the testbed simulates space conditions, its LOWFS has the same design than on the SCExAO instrument at Subaru telescope, with whom it shares the same kind of problematic. Experimental results show that a good knowledge of the low-order disturbances is a key asset for high contrast imaging, whether for real-time control or for post processing, both in space and on ground telescopes.

description: To date, tax scholars have responded to the proliferation of so-called temporary or sunset tax expenditure legislation by staking claims either for or against it, focusing on its relative merits and shortcomings. In this Article, I argue that these positions are analytically incomplete. Rather than address the underlying deficiencies in the budget process that have led to the preference for temporary tax provisions, the advocacy of the use (or non-use) of temporary provisions simply asks which type of provision will yield the least problematic results.

This Article seeks to help fill a gap in the literature by focusing on remedies meant to address the source of many issues related to both temporary and permanent tax expenditure legislation. In particular, I propose the adoption of a bundle of new budget rules that will work as precommitment devices to restrain lawmakers from exploiting weaknesses in the existing process. I argue that these proposed rules would still give lawmakers the flexibility to adopt either temporary or permanent tax legislation as appropriate. However, the proposed rules would help to decrease opportunities for budget manipulations, impose more fiscal restraint on lawmakers, achieve greater legislative transparency, help loosen the hold of special interest groups on lawmakers, and enhance legislative stability.

description: The nearby star Fomalhaut harbours a cold, moderately eccentric dust belt with a sharp inner edge near 133 au. A low-mass, common proper motion companion (Fom b), was discovered near the inner edge and was identified as a planet candidate that could account for the belt morphology. However, the most recent orbit determination based on four epochs of astrometry over eight years reveals a highly eccentric orbit that appears to cross the belt in the sky plane projection. We perform here a full orbital determination based on the available astrometric data to independently validate the orbit estimates previously presented. Adopting our values for the orbital elements and their associated uncertainties, we then study the dynamical interaction between the planet and the dust ring, to check whether the proposed disk sculpting scenario by Fom b is plausible. We used a dedicated MCMC code to derive the statistical distributions of the orbital elements of Fom b. Then we used symplectic N-body integration to investigate the dynamics of the dust belt, as perturbed by a single planet. Different attempts were made assuming different masses for Fom b. We also performed a semi-analytical study to explain our results. Our results are in good agreement with others regarding the orbit of Fom b. We find that the orbit is highly eccentric, is close to apsidally aligned with the belt, and has a moderate mutual inclination relative to the belt plane of. If coplanar, this orbit crosses the disk. Our dynamical study then reveals that the observed planet could sculpt a transient belt configuration with a similar eccentricity to what is observed, but it would not be simultaneously apsidally aligned with the planet. This transient configuration only occurs a short time after the planet is placed on such an orbit (assuming an initially circular disk), a time that is inversely proportional to the planet's mass, and that is in any case much less than the 440 Myr age of the star. We constrain how long the observed dust belt could have survived with Fom b on its current orbit, as a function of its possible mass. This analysis leads us to conclude that Fom b is likely to have low mass, that it is unlikely to be responsible for the sculpting of the belt, and that it supports the hypothesis of a more massive, less eccentric planet companion Fom c.

description: Statistical analysis of DNA mixtures is known to pose computational challenges due to the enormous state space of possible DNA profiles. We propose a Bayesian network representation for genotypes, allowing computations to be performed locally involving only a few alleles at each step. In addition, we describe a general method for computing the expectation of a product of discrete random variables using auxiliary variables and probability propagation in a Bayesian network, which in combination with the genotype network allows efficient computation of the likelihood function and various other quantities relevant to the inference. Lastly, we introduce a set of diagnostic tools for assessing the adequacy of the model for describing a particular dataset.

description: The spread of disinformation (maliciously spread false information) in online social networks has become an important problem in today's society. Disinformation's spread is facilitated by the fact that individuals often accept false information based on cognitive biases which predispose them to believe information that they have heard repeatedly or that aligns with their beliefs. Moreover, disinformation often spreads in direct competition with a corresponding true information. To model these phenomena, we develop a model for two competing beliefs spreading on a social network, where individuals have an internal opinion that models their cognitive biases and modulates their likelihood of adopting one of the competing beliefs. By numerical simulations of an agent-based model and a mean-field description of the dynamics, we study how the long-term dynamics of the spreading process depends on the initial conditions for the number of spreaders and the initial opinion of the population. We find that the addition of cognitive biases enriches the transient dynamics of the spreading process, facilitating behavior such as the revival of a dying belief and the overturning of an initially widespread opinion. Finally, we study how external recruitment of spreaders can lead to the eventual dominance of one of the two beliefs.

description: The Intricacies of Tax & Globalization review explores the effect of globalization on taxation. It looks into the available data (particularly from the OECD and EU) to explore global trends in taxation over the past three decades to evaluate whether and to what extent globalization leads to convergence or divergence of national tax policies, and to assess the merit of such changes.

description: Gluons at small x in high-energy nuclei overlap in the longitudinal direction, so the nucleus acts as a single source of gluons, like higher Fock components in a single nucleon, which contribute to inelastic collisions with a high multiplicity of produced hadrons. This similarity helps to make a link between nuclear effects in pA and high-multiplicity pp collisions. Such a relation is well confirmed by data for the J/Psi production rate in high-multiplicity pp events measured recently in the ALICE experiment. Broadening of J/Psi transverse momentum is predicted for high-multiplicity pp collisions.

The U.S. as Tax Haven? Aiding Developing Countries by Revoking the Revenue Rule

description: Over the years, many OECD countries, including the United States, have identified tax havens as a significant problem, and have acted to limit the ability of their taxpayers to use tax havens to reduce their taxes. The United States has implemented tax regimes, including subpart F and the passive foreign investment company rules, and disclosure regimes, such as the recently-enacted FATCA rules, to prevent U.S. taxpayers from taking advantage of tax haven jurisdictions.

But the intersection of a number of U.S. tax rules, it turns out, makes the United States an attractive place for foreigners to invest—and hide—their money. Principal among these is the revenue rule, an eighteenth-century common law rule that prevents the United States from recognizing and enforcing foreign tax judgments. As a result, if a foreign taxpayer hides money in the United States and fails to pay taxes at home, her government has no recourse to satisfy the tax debt with the taxpayer’s U.S. assets. Such hidden money disparately impacts developing countries by reducing their ability to finance government through developing tax infrastructure, and instead forcing them to remain dependent on foreign aid.
The Use of Cross-Border Corporate Profits and Losses and “Global Corporate Tax Information”: A Game Theory Approach

description: The paper, proposes a game theory approach based on a concept of Global Corporate Tax Information and analyzes the unilateral strategies a country can select from to regulate cross-border profits and losses in its capacity as a residence-country or as a source-country. A description of the strategies available to residence-countries when there is no exchange of Global Corporate Tax Information is developed in section 2. Section 3 then looks at the interactions of those unilateral strategies of residence and source countries when there is no exchange of Global Corporate Tax Information, and shows that they lead to a stable uncooperative equilibrium as the result of “dominant strategies.” Section 4 emphasizes the strategic importance of Global Corporate Tax Information insofar as it is conducive to effective cooperation in enforcement that prevents aggressive strategies by global taxpayers and shows that such coordination can be backed by multilateral commitment. Section 4 also demonstrates that the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base ("CCCTB") can be viewed as a multilateral method for the exchange of Global Corporate Tax Information if approved by at least nine EU countries (i.e. the minimum number of parties required under the “enhanced cooperation” procedure.) Section 5 concludes by proposing that the U.S. could become a party to pre-existing multilateral systems for exchange of Global Corporate Tax Information such as the CCCTB.

description: Social entrepreneurship is at the juncture of creative capitalism and social innovation.  It aims at combining the best of two sectors, and thus is cramped in the traditional vehicles designed for either world in isolation.  Although the social bottom line of these enterprises can usually meet the broad charitable purpose requirement of the Internal Revenue Code, tax-exempt vehicles have proven to be unable to hose the financial one.  Conversely, the advantages of for-profits stem from their flexibility, but their failure to receive funding from tax-exempts and the lack of a social enterprise brand have made it necessary to design new vehicles.

description: We study the chromosphere and corona of the ultra-fast rotator AB Dor A at high temporal and spectral resolution using simultaneous observations with XMM-Newton in the X-rays, VLT/UVES in the optical, and the ATCA in the radio. Our optical spectra have a resolving power of ~50 000 with a time cadence of ~1 min. Our observations continuously cover more than one rotational period and include both quiescent periods and three flaring events of different strengths. From the X-ray observations we investigated the variations in coronal temperature, emission measure, densities, and abundance. We interpreted our data in terms of a loop model. From the optical data we characterise the flaring chromospheric material using numerous emission lines that appear in the course of the flares. A detailed analysis of the line shapes and line centres allowed us to infer physical characteristics of the flaring chromosphere and to coarsely localise the flare event on the star. We specifically used the optical high-cadence spectra to demonstrate that both, turbulent and Stark broadening are present during the first ten minutes of the first flare. Also, in the first few minutes of this flare, we find short-lived (one to several minutes) emission subcomponents in the Hα and Ca ii K lines, which we interpret as flare-connected shocks owing to their high intrinsic velocities. Combining the space-based data with the results of our optical spectroscopy, we derive flare-filling factors. Finally, comparing X-ray, optical broadband, and line emission, we find a correlation for two of the three flaring events, while there is no clear correlation for one event. Also, we do not find any correlation of the radio data to any other observed data.
On-chip quantum confinement refrigeration overcoming electron-phonon heat leaks

description: Circuit-based quantum devices rely on keeping electrons at millikelvin temperatures. Improved coherence and sensitivity as well as discovering new physical phenomena motivate pursuing ever lower electron temperatures, accessible using on-chip cooling techniques. Here we show that a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), manipulated using gate voltages, works as an on-chip heat sink only limited by a fundamental phonon heat-leak. A single-shot 2DEG cooler can reduce the electron temperature by a factor of two with a hold time up to a second. Integrating an array of such coolers to obtain continuous cooldown in will allow reaching down to microkelvin device temperatures.

description: The article considers why the United States only grants a deduction for charitable contributions made to US charities from a historic standpoint and why doing so is problematic in the fight against global ills.  The Charitable Deduction Games examines an alternative approach to cross-border giving that is currently spreading throughout the European Union ("EU") as a result of the 2009 landmark case Hein Persche v. Finanzamt Ludenscheid.  After an examination of Persche, the article explores the UK model that has resulted in response to the decision and considers why the US should adopt a similar model.  Next, the article considers why the Netherlands has been reluctant to adopt a similar model in light of its historic stance.  Finally, The Charitable Deduction Games examines the responses of various EU Member States to Persche and concludes with a proposal of how Persche should affect US laws governing cross-border giving.
