description: Using multi-epoch VLA observations, covering a time baseline of 29.1 years, we have measured the proper motions of 88 young stars with compact radio emission in the core of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) and the neighboring BN/KL region. Our work increases the number of young stars with measured proper motion at radio frequencies by a factor of 2.5 and enables us to perform a better statistical analysis of the kinematics of the region than was previously possible. Most stars (79 out of 88) have proper motions consistent with a Gaussian distribution centered on $\overline{μ_α\cosδ}=1.07\pm0.09\quad{\rm mas\,yr^{-1}}$, and $\overline{μ_δ}=-0.84\pm0.16\quad{\rm mas\,yr^{-1}}$, with velocity dispersions of $σ_α=1.08\pm0.07\quad{\rm mas\,\,yr^{-1}},$ $σ_δ=1.27\pm0.15\quad{\rm mas\,\,yr^{-1}}$. We looked for organized movements of these stars but found no clear indication of radial expansion/contraction or rotation. The remaining nine stars in our sample show peculiar proper motions that differ from the mean proper motions of the ONC by more than 3-$σ$. One of these stars, V 1326 Ori, could have been expelled from the Orion Trapezium 7,000 years ago. Two could be related to the multi-stellar disintegration in the BN/KL region, in addition to the previously known sources BN, I and n. The others either have high uncertainties (so their anomalous proper motions are not firmly established) or could be foreground objects.

A semimetal nanowire rectifier: balancing quantum confinement and surface electronegativity

description: For semimetal nanowires with diameters smaller than a few tens of nanometers, a semimetal-to-semiconductor transition is observed as the emergence of an energy band gap resulting from quantum confinement. Quantum confinement in a semimetal results in either lifting of the degeneracy of the conduction and valence bands in a zero gap semimetal, or shifting of bands with a negative energy overlap to form conduction and valence bands. For semimetal nanowires with diameters below 10 nanometer, the magnitude of the band gap can become significantly larger than the thermal energy at room temperature resulting in a new class of semiconductors relevant for nanoelectronics with critical dimensions on the order of a few atomic lengths. The smaller a nanowire's diameter, the larger its surface-to-volume ratio thus leading to an increasing impact of surface chemistry on its electronic structure. Energy level shifts to states in the vicinity of the Fermi level due to the electronegativity of surface terminating species are shown to be comparable in magnitude to quantum confinement effects at nanowire diameters of a few nanometer; these two effects can be used to counteract one another leading to semimetallic behavior for nanowire cross sections at which the quantum confinement effect would otherwise dominate. Abruptly changing the surface terminating species along the length of a nanowire leads to an abrupt change in the surface electronegativity. This can result in the formation of a semimetal-semiconductor junction within a monomaterial nanowire, without the need for impurity doping nor requiring the formation of a heterojunction.

description: Communication is a basic need for all people to fully participate in life. Persons with disabilities may face particular challenges in developing their communication skills and using them appropriately in different situations. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools and methods can assist individuals in this process. Increasing digitization has changed the way everyone communicates, and this offers opportunities for persons using AAC. This paper briefly outlines what has been achieved in terms of digitalization in AAC. The need for full, adapted access to technology is highlighted and research desiderata are identified.

description: Wireless Sensor Networks have emerged as one of the leading technologies. These networks are designed to monitor crucial environmental parameters of humidity, temperature, wind speed, soil moisture content, UV index, sound, etc. and then transfer the required information to the base station. However, security remains the key challenge of such networks as critical data is being transferred. Most sensor nodes currently deployed have constraints on memory and processing power and hence operate without an efficient security protocol. Hereby a protocol which is lightweight and is secure for wireless sensor applications is proposed.

Parametric study of the solar wind interaction with the Hermean magnetosphere for a weak interplanetary magnetic field

description: The aim of this study is to simulate the interaction of the solar wind with the Hermean magnetosphere when the interplanetary magnetic field is weak, performing a parametric study for all the range of hydrodynamic values of the solar wind predicted on Mercury for the ENLIL + GONG WSA + Cone SWRC model: density from $12$ to $180$ cm$^{-3}$, velocity from $200$ to $500$ km/s and temperatures from $2 \cdot 10^4$ to $18 \cdot 10^4$ K, and compare the results with a real MESSENGER orbit as reference case. We use the code PLUTO in spherical coordinates and an asymmetric multipolar expansion for the Hermean magnetic field. The study shows for all simulations a stand off distance larger than the Mercury radius and the presence of close magnetic field lines on the day side of the planet, so the dynamic pressure of the solar wind is not high enough to push the magnetopause on the planet surface if the interplanetary magnetic field is weak. The simulations with large dynamic pressure lead to a large compression of the Hermean magnetic field modifying its topology in the inner magnetosphere as well as the plasma flows from the magnetosheath towards the planet surface.

Model prediction for temperature dependence of meson pole masses from lattice QCD results on meson screening masses

description: We propose a practical effective model by introducing temperature ($T$) dependence to the coupling strengths of four-quark and six-quark Kobayashi-Maskawa-'t Hooft interactions in the 2+1 flavor Polyakov-loop extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The $T$ dependence is determined from LQCD data on the renormalized chiral condensate around the pseudocritical temperature $T_c^χ$ of chiral crossover and the screening-mass difference between $π$ and $a_0$ mesons in $T > 1.1T_c^χ$ where only the $U(1)_{\rm A}$-symmetry breaking survives. The model well reproduces LQCD data on screening masses $M_ξ^{\rm scr}(T)$ for both scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, particularly in $T \ge T_c^χ$. Using this effective model, we predict meson pole masses $M_ξ^{\rm pole}(T)$ for scalar and pseudoscalar mesons. For $η'$ meson, the prediction is consistent with the experimental value at finite $T$ measured in heavy-ion collisions. We point out that the relation $M_ξ^{\rm scr}(T)-M_ξ^{\rm pole}(T) \approx M_{ξ'}^{\rm scr}(T)-M_{ξ'}^{\rm pole}(T)$ is pretty good when $ξ$ and $ξ'$ are scalar mesons, and show that the relation $M_ξ^{\rm scr}(T)/M_{ξ'}^{\rm scr}(T) \approx M_ξ^{\rm pole}(T)/M_{ξ'}^{\rm pole}(T)$ is well satisfied within 20% error when $ξ$ and $ξ'$ are pseudoscalar mesons and also when $ξ$ and $ξ'$ are scalar mesons.

description: We present a detection in pre-explosion Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of a point source consistent with being the progenitor star of the Type IIb supernova (SN IIb) 2016gkg. Post-explosion imaging from the Keck Adaptive Optics system was used to perform relative astrometry between the Keck and HST imaging. We identify a single point source in the HST images coincident with the SN position to 0.89-sigma. The HST photometry is consistent with the progenitor star being an A0Ia star with T=9500 K and log (L/Lsun)=5.15. We find that the SN 2016gkg progenitor star appears more consistent with binary than single-star evolutionary models. In addition, early-time light curve data from SN 2016gkg revealed a rapid rise in luminosity within ~0.4 days of non-detection limits, consistent with models of the cooling phase after shock break-out. We use these data to determine an explosion date of 20.15 September 2016 and progenitor star radius of log (R/Rsun)=2.41, which agrees with photometry from the progenitor star. Our findings are also consistent with detections of other SNe IIb progenitor stars, although more luminous and bluer than most other examples.

title: A Blot Upon Darkness: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court and the Failures of Reconstruction
Creators: name: Lyons, Jessica
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2026

description:
Mark Twains A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court critiques the failures of the U.S. Reconstruction era, as it demonizes the formation of the Lost Cause mythology in the post-Civil War period, using a parody of the Arthurian mythology of the medieval period, and chastises the emergence of American imperialism. This study explores Twains effort to counter to the revisionism project of the Lost Cause, in which a fictionalized Camelot represents the U.S. South, and in so doing redirects its readers attention to the violent culture of white supremacy. He parodies Civil War nostalgia through Morgans criticism of canonical Arthurian figures who had often been likened Civil War generals and soldiers by Lost Cause supporters. At the same time, the novel also situates Hank Morgan as a robber-baron who exploits the world of Camelot and forces upon its people his nineteenth century technology, infrastructure, and industrialism, imitating the emerging politics of foreign intervention in the late nineteenth century. The novel makes apparent that the result of U.S. intervention results in more violence and chaos.

Neutrino, $γ$-ray and cosmic ray fluxes from the core of the closest radio galaxies
Creators: name: Fraija, Nissim

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The closest radio galaxies; Centaurus A, M87 and NGC 1275, have been detected from radio wavelengths to TeV $γ$-rays, and also studied as high-energy neutrino and ultra-high-energy cosmic ray potential emitters. Their spectral energy distributions show a double-peak feature, which is explained by synchrotron self-Compton model. However, TeV $γ$-ray measured spectra could suggest that very-high-energy $γ$-rays might have a hadronic origin. We introduce a lepto-hadronic model to describe the broadband spectral energy distribution; from radio to sub GeV photons as synchrotron self-Compton emission and TeV $γ$-ray photons as neutral pion decay resulting from p$γ$ interactions occurring close to the core. These photo-hadronic interactions take place when Fermi-accelerated protons interact with the seed photons around synchrotron self-Compton peaks. Obtaining a good description of the TeV $γ$-ray fluxes, firstly, we compute neutrino fluxes and events expected in IceCube detector and secondly, we estimate ultra-high-energy cosmic ray fluxes and event rate expected in Telescope Array, Pierre Auger and HiRes observatories. Within this scenario we show that the expected high-energy neutrinos cannot explain the astrophysical flux observed by IceCube, and the connection with ultra-high-energy cosmic rays observed by Auger experiment around Centaurus A, might be possible only considering a heavy nuclei composition in the observed events.

description: Let $E$ be an $1$-Ahlfors regular subset of the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. We prove that there exists a $-1$-homogeneous kernel $K_1$ such that if $E$ is contained in a $1$-regular curve the corresponding singular integral is bounded in $L^2(E)$. Conversely, we prove that there exists another $-1$-homogeneous kernel $K_2$, such that the $L^2(E)$-boundedness of its corresponding singular integral implies that $E$ is contained in an $1$-regular curve. These are the first non-Euclidean examples of kernels with such properties. Both $K_1$ and $K_2$ are weighted versions of the Riesz kernel corresponding to the vertical component of $\mathbb{H}$. Unlike the Euclidean case, where all known kernels related to rectifiability are antisymmetric, the kernels $K_1$ and $K_2$ are even and nonnegative.

description: There has been recent interest in identifying entanglement as the fundamental concept from which space may emerge. We note that the particular way that a Hilbert space is decomposed into tensor factors is important in what the resulting geometry looks like. We then propose that time may be regarded as a variable that parameterizes a family of such decompositions, thus giving rise to a family of spatial geometries. As a proof of concept, this idea is demonstrated in two toy models based on Kitaev's toric code, which feature a dynamical change of dimension and topology.

description: This paper exhibits a short-run correspondence method appropriate for swarm versatile robots application. Infrared is utilized for transmitting and accepting information and obstruction location. The infrared correspondence code based swarm signaling is utilized for an independent versatile robot communication system in this research. A code based signaling system is developed for transmitting information between different entities of robot. The reflected infrared sign is additionally utilized for separation estimation for obstruction evasion. Investigation of robot demonstrates the possibility of utilizing infrared signs to get a solid nearby correspondence between swarm portable robots. This paper exhibits a basic decentralized control for swarm of self-collecting robots. Every robot in the code based swarm signaling is completely self-governing and controlled utilizing a conduct based methodology with just infrared-based nearby detecting and correspondences. The viability of the methodology has been checked with simulation, for a set of swarm robots.

description: Chimera states are complex spatio-temporal patterns that consist of coexisting domains of coherent and incoherent dynamics. We study chimera states in a network of non-locally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators. We investigate the impact of initial conditions in combination with non-local coupling. Based on an analytical argument, we show how the coupling phase and the coupling strength are linked to the occurrence of chimera states, flipped profiles of the mean phase velocity, and the transition from a phase- to an amplitude-mediated chimera state.

Chiral heavy fermions in a two Higgs doublet model: 750 GeV resonance or not

description: We revisit models where a heavy chiral 4th generation doublet of fermions is embedded in a class of two Higgs doublets models (2HDM) with a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry, which couples the "heavy" scalar doublet only to the 4th generation fermions and the "light" one to the Standard Model (SM) fermions - the so-called 4G2HDM introduced by us several years ago. We study the constraints imposed on the 4G2HDM from direct searches of heavy fermions, from precision electroweak data (PEWD) and from the measured production and decay signals of the 125 GeV scalar, which in the 4G2HDM corresponds to the lightest CP-even scalar h. We then show that the recently reported excess in the $γγ$ spectrum around 750 GeV can be accommodated by the heavy CP-even scalar of the 4G2HDM, H, resulting in a unique choice of parameter space: negligible mixing (sinα~ O(0.001)) between the two CP-even scalars h,H and heavy 4th generation quark and lepton masses m_t',m_b' < 400 GeV and $m_{ν'},m_{τ'}$ > 900 GeV, respectively. Whether or not the 750 GeV γγresonance is confirmed, interesting phenomenology emerges in q' - Higgs systems (q'=t',b'), that can be searched for at the LHC. For example, the heavy scalar states of the model, S=H,A,H^+, may have BR(S -> q'q') ~ O(1), giving rise to observable q'q' signals on resonance, followed by the flavor changing q' decays t'->uh (u=u,c) and/or b'->dh (d=d,s,b). This leads to distinct high jet-multiplicity signatures, with or without charged leptons, of the form q'q' -> (nj + mb + lW)_S (j and b being light and b-quark jets, respectively), with n+m+l =6-8 and unique kinematic features. It is also shown that the 4G2HDM can easily accommodate the interesting recent indications of a percent-level branching ratio in the lepton-flavor-violating (LFV) decay $h \to τμ$ of the 125 GeV Higgs, if confirmed.

description: We investigate the response of the bound state structure of a two-boson system, within a Yukawa model with a scalar boson exchange, to the inclusion of the cross-ladder contribution to the ladder kernel of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The equation is solved by means of the Nakanishi integral representation and light-front projection. The valence light-front wave function and the elastic electromagnetic form factor beyond the impulse approximation, with the inclusion of the two-body current, generated by the cross-ladder kernel, are computed. The valence wave function and electromagnetic form factor, considering both ladder and ladder plus cross-ladder kernels, are studied in detail. Their asymptotic forms are found to be quite independent of the inclusion of the cross-ladder kernel, for a given binding energy. The asymptotic decrease of form factor agrees with the counting rules. This analysis can be generalized to fermionic systems, with a wide application in the study of the meson structure.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) data can have multiple sources and have many characteristics. Data can relate to institutions, infrastructure as well as public health and be both quantitative and qualitative (BerkeleyLaw, 2018). To make the best use of data, it is useful to think of the data process as cyclical as opposed to simply a set of numerical values (BerkeleyLaw, 2018) such that in this process, the actual collection of data is only one of nine stages. In certain locations there is an abundance of WASH monitoring data. In others there is a distinct lack of available data. The collection of WASH data has attracted a great deal of attention and as a result countries, institutions and communities are collecting an increasing volume of monitoring data. What has been identified as lacking however is that next step in the process; taking that data and making meaningful evidence-based decisions and taking action to improve the water supply in question. Two key areas which often hinder action on the basis of data are lack of financial and human resources. One of the key themes in the United Nations Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking Water Report published in 2019 was surrounding these blockers, with a specific focus on the lack of financial resources. My work aims to produce and test a framework to provide recommendations on how evidence-based decisions can be most effectively made using WASH data to improve water supplies in the global context.

description: We demonstrate clear weak anti-localization (WAL) effect arising from induced Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in WS$_2$-covered single-layer and bilayer graphene devices. Contrary to the uncovered region of a shared single-layer graphene flake, WAL in WS$_2$-covered graphene occurs over a wide range of carrier densities on both electron and hole sides. At high carrier densities, we estimate the Rashba SOC relaxation rate to be $\sim 0.2 \rm{ps}^{-1}$ and show that it can be tuned by transverse electric fields. In addition to the Rashba SOC, we also predict the existence of a `valley-Zeeman' SOC from first-principles calculations. The interplay between these two SOC's can open a non-topological but interesting gap in graphene; in particular, zigzag boundaries host four sub-gap edge states protected by time-reversal and crystalline symmetries. The graphene/WS$_2$ system provides a possible platform for these novel edge states.

description: We perform transport measurements on double quantum dots defined in Ge/Si core/shell nanowires and focus on Pauli spin blockade in the regime where tens of holes occupy each dot. We identify spin blockade through the magnetic field dependence of leakage current. We find both a dip and a peak in the leakage current at zero field. We analyze this behavior in terms of the quantum dot parameters such as coupling to the leads, interdot tunnel coupling as well as spin-orbit interaction. We find a lower bound for spin-orbit interaction with $l_{\rm so}=500$ nm. We also extract large and anisotropic effective Land$\rm \acute{e}$ g-factors, with larger g-factors in the direction perpendicular to the nanowire axis in agreement with previous studies and experiments but with larger values reported here.

Cloud clearing in the wake of Saturn's Great Storm of 2010 - 2011 and suggested new constraints on Saturn's He/H2 ratio

description: Saturn's Great Storm of 2010 - 2011 produced a planet-encircling wake that slowly transitioned from a region that was mainly dark at 5 microns in February 2011 to a region that was almost entirely bright and remarkably uniform by December of 2012. The uniformity and high emission levels suggested that the entire wake region had been cleared not only of the ammonia clouds that the storm had generated and exposed, but also of any other aerosols that might provide significant blocking of the thermal emission from Saturn's deeper and warmer atmospheric layers. Our analysis of VIMS wake spectra from December 2012 provides no evidence of ammonia ice absorption, but shows that at least one significant cloud layer remained behind: a non-absorbing layer of 3 - 4 optical depths (at 2 microns) extending from 150 to ~400 mbar. A second layer of absorbing and scattering particles, with less than 1 optical depth and located near 1 bar, is also suggested, but its existence as a model requirement depends on what value of the He/H2 ratio is assumed. The observations can be fit well with just a single (upper) cloud layer for a He/H2 ratio of 0.064 in combination with a PH3 deep volume mixing ratio of 5 ppm. At lower He/H2 ratios, the observed spectra can be modeled without particles in this region. At higher ratios, in order to fit the brightest wake spectrum, models must include either significant cloud opacity in this region, or significantly increased absorption by PH3, NH3, and AsH3. As the exceptional horizontal uniformity in the late wake is most easily understood as a complete removal of a deep cloud layer, and after considering independent constraints on trace gas mixing ratios, we conclude that the existence of this remarkable wake uniformity is most consistent with a He/H2 mixing ratio of 0.055 (+0.010, -0.015), which is on the low side of the 0.038 - 0.135 range of previous estimates.

description: We study the association and dissociation dynamics of weakly bound heteronuclear Feshbach molecules using transverse RF-fields for expected parameters accessible through the microgravity environment of NASA's Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) aboard the International Space Station, including temperatures at or below nK and atomic densities as low as $10^8$/cm$^3$. We show that under such conditions, thermal and loss effects can be greatly suppressed resulting in high efficiency in both association and dissociation of Feshbach molecules with mean size exceeding 10$^4a_0$, and allowing for the coherence in atom-molecule transitions to be clearly observable. Our theoretical model for heteronuclear mixtures includes thermal, loss, and density effects in a simple and conceptually clear manner. We derive the temperature, density and scattering length regimes of $^{41}$K-$^{87}$Rb that allow optimal association/dissociation efficiency with minimal heating and loss to guide future experiments with ultracold atomic gases in space.

description: Στη σύγχρονη αεροπορία, τα αεροσκάφη, ο εξοπλισμός εξυπηρέτησης τους καθώς και μεμονωμένα εξαρτήματα αυτών, κατόπιν ορισμένων κύκλων λειτουργίας, χρήζουν Εργοστασιακής Συντήρησης, ή αναβάθμισης ώστε να συνεχίσουν να λειτουργούν με ασφάλεια. Η ένταξή τους σε Εργοστασιακό φορέα και η συντήρηση τους απαιτεί κατάτμηση εργασιών ώστε κάθε υποεξάρτημα να ακολουθήσει μια προεπιλεγμένη ροή των απαιτούμενων επιθεωρήσεων και επισκευών, με σκοπό την άμεση απόδοσή του για τη συναρμολόγηση του κυρίου εξαρτήματος. Αυτή η κατάτμηση εργασιών καθώς και η ροή αυτών θα πρέπει να αξιολογείται συχνά και ειδικότερα κατά την αρχική ένταξη των εξαρτημάτων στον Εργοστασιακό φορέα με σκοπό τη βελτιστοποίηση των απαιτούμενων χρόνων και την αντιμετώπιση έγκαιρα των όποιων καθυστερήσεων στην απόδοση. Ακόμα και σε καθημερινές διαδικασίες, η ελλιπής περιγραφή, ειδικά σε κρίσιμους τομείς, καθιστά την υλοποίηση τους δύσκολη, καθώς δεν μπορεί να εξασφαλιστεί ένα ικανό επίπεδο λεπτομέρειας. Έτσι η μοντελοποίηση διαδικασιών ήρθε σαν ανάγκη δημιουργίας μιας κοινής γλώσσας η οποία με τη χρήση σημειογραφίας, έχει ως αποτέλεσμα μέσω της οπτικοποίησης με τη γραφική αναπαράσταση να γίνεται αντιληπτή σε όλα τα μέλη μιας ομάδας. Η χρήση του BPMN ως μέθοδο Μοντελοποίησης των επιχειρησιακών διαδικασιών, λαμβάνοντας υπόψιν κατά το σχεδιασμό τις αντίστοιχες παραμέτρους, δημιουργεί μια ξεκάθαρη εικόνα για τα βήματα που πρέπει να ακολουθηθούν καθώς σε συνδυασμό με την προσομοίωσή με τη χρήση κατάλληλων εργαλείων είναι το κλειδί που οδηγεί στην τήρηση και τη βελτιστοποίηση των χρονοδιαγραμμάτων.

description: The states of a boron acceptor near a Si/SiO2 interface, which bind two low-energy Kramers pairs, have exceptional properties for encoding quantum information and, with the aid of strain, both heavy hole and light hole-based spin qubits can be designed. Whereas a light-hole spin qubit was introduced recently [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 246801 (2016)], here we present analytical and numerical results proving that a heavy-hole spin qubit can be reliably initialised, rotated and entangled by electrical means alone. This is due to strong Rashba-like spin-orbit interaction terms enabled by the interface inversion asymmetry. Single qubit rotations rely on electric-dipole spin resonance (EDSR), which is strongly enhanced by interface-induced spin-orbit terms. Entanglement can be accomplished by Coulomb exchange, coupling to a resonator, or spin-orbit induced dipole-dipole interactions. By analysing the qubit sensitivity to charge noise, we demonstrate that interface-induced spin-orbit terms are responsible for sweet spots in the dephasing time T2* as a function of the top gate electric field, which are close to maxima in the EDSR strength, where the EDSR gate has high fidelity. We show that both qubits can be described using the same starting Hamiltonian, and by comparing their properties we show that the complex interplay of bulk and interface-induced spin-orbit terms allows a high degree of electrical control and makes acceptors potential candidates for scalable quantum computation in Si.

description: We develop a compact whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) sensing system by integrating multiple components, including a tunable laser, a temperature controller, a function generator, an oscilloscope, a photodiode detector, and a testing computer, into a phone-sized embedded system. We demonstrate a thermal sensing experiment by using this portable system. Such a system successfully eliminates bulky measurement equipment required for characterizing optical resonators and will open up new avenues for practical sensing applications by using ultra-high Q WGM resonators.
