description: Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are highly scalable detectors that have demonstrated nearly background-limited sensitivity in the far-infrared from high-altitude balloon-borne telescopes and space-like laboratory environments. In addition, the detectors have a rich design space with many optimizable parameters, allowing highly sensitive measurements over a wide dynamic range. For these reasons, MKIDs were chosen for the Experiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM), a balloon-borne telescope targeting nearly background-limited performance in a high-altitude atmospheric environment from 420-540 GHz. We describe MKID optimization in the specific context of EXCLAIM and provide general results that apply to broader applications. Extending the established approach of tone frequency tracking, we show that readout power optimization enables significant, further improvement in dynamic range.

description: An electro-optic dual comb system based on chirped-pulse waveforms is used to simultaneously acquire temporally magnified rapid passage signals and normal spectral line shapes from the back-transformation to the time domain. Multi-heterodyne THz wave generation and detection is performed with the difference frequency mixing of two free-running lasers. The method is used to obtain THz spectra of formic acid in the 10 cm-1 to 20 cm-1 (300 GHz to 600 GHz) region over a range of pressures. The method is widely applicable across other spectral regions for investigations of the transient dynamics and spectroscopy of molecular systems.

description: It is remarkable that the matter fields in the Standard Model (SM) are apparently unified into the $\mathrm{SU}(5)$ representations. A straightforward explanation of this fact is to embed all the SM gauge groups into a simple group containing $\mathrm{SU}(5)$, i.e., the grand unified theory (GUT). Recently, however, a new framework "fake GUT" has been proposed. In this new framework, the apparent matter unification can be explained by a chiral gauge group $G$, $ G \supset \mathrm{SU}(5)$. We emphasize that the SM matter fields are not necessarily embedded into the chiral representations to explain the apparent unification. In this paper, we discuss details of concrete realizations of the fake GUT model. We first study the model based on $\mathrm{SU}(5) \times \mathrm{U}(2)_H$, where $\mathrm{SU}(3)_c$ in the SM is from $\mathrm{SU}(5)$ while $\mathrm{SU}(2)_L\times \mathrm{U}(1)_Y$ are from the diagonal subgroups of $\mathrm{SU}(5) \times \mathrm{U}(2)_H$. We also extend this model to the one based on a semi-simple group, $\mathrm{SU}(5) \times \mathrm{SU}(3)_H$, so that $\mathrm{U}(2)_H$ is embedded in $\mathrm{SU}(3)_H$. We also show that this framework predicts rather different decay patterns of the proton, compared to the conventional GUT.

description: Contemporary advances in technology and information processing have created technological “things” that astound and perplex us all. Responding to this progress has united and resonated with posthuman thinking (notably post-anthropocentrism) to create new lenses and concepts. Within this is a growing focus on considering the world from the perspective of technological “things”. This shift enables researchers and practitioners to look beyond human-centredness in disciplines such as design, and science and technology studies. However, moving beyond humans, and even beyond organic beings, is still a niche and radical area within these disciplines, with a lack of academic research detailing how uninitiated individuals experience engagement with these concepts and the nature of the discourse it generates. Through six workshops, 22 participants engaged with the “Data Hungry Home”, a prototype post-anthropocentric design framework that facilitates the design of anthropocentrically purposeless data-dependent technological beings. Analysis of the participants’ experience demonstrates that the Data Hungry Home is an effective design framework for exploring alternative manifestations of technology. However, it also exposes issues with embracing post-anthropocentric approaches, notably when designing (for) technological beings. These include adopting a nonhuman perspective and utilising design/technology for non-commercial and non-problem-solving ends. These findings then underpin a discussion on how applying a post-anthropocentric design framework can reveal the participants’ structuring, understanding, and acceptability of the limits of design and technology.The files here are documents used in data collecting and interview transcripts.

description: The Covid-19 pandemic has led to infodemic of low quality information leading to poor health decisions. Combating the outcomes of this infodemic is not only a question of identifying false claims, but also reasoning about the decisions individuals make. In this work we propose a holistic analysis framework connecting stance and reason analysis, and fine-grained entity level moral sentiment analysis. We study how to model the dependencies between the different level of analysis and incorporate human insights into the learning process. Experiments show that our framework provides reliable predictions even in the low-supervision settings.

description: We report a method to obtain insights into lower thermal conductivity of β-Ga2O3 thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on c-plane sapphire and 4H-SiC substrates. We compare experimental values against the numerical predictions to decipher the effect of boundary scattering and defects in thin-films. We used time domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) to perform the experiments, density functional theory and the Boltzmann transport equation for thermal conductivity calculations, and the diffuse mismatch model for TBC predictions. The experimental thermal conductivities were approximately 3 times smaller than those calculated for perfect Ga2O3 crystals of similar size. When considering the presence of grain boundaries, gallium and oxygen vacancies, and stacking faults in the calculations, the crystals that present around 1% of gallium vacancies and a density of stacking faults of 106 faults/cm were the ones whose thermal conductivities were closer to the experimental results. Our analysis suggests the level of different types of defects present in the Ga2O3 crystal that could be used to improve the quality of MBE-grown samples by reducing these defects and thereby produce materials with higher thermal conductivities.

description: Context. New-generation cosmological simulations are providing huge amounts of data, whose analysis becomes itself a cutting-edge computational problem. In particular, the identification of gravitationally bound structures, known as halo finding, is one of the main analyses. A handful of codes developed to tackle this task have been presented during the last years. Aims. We present a deep revision of the already existing code ASOHF. The algorithm has been throughfully redesigned in order to improve its capabilities to find bound structures and substructures, both using dark matter particles and stars, its parallel performance, and its abilities to handle simulation outputs with vast amounts of particles. This upgraded version of ASOHF is conceived to be a publicly available tool. Methods. A battery of idealised and realistic tests are presented in order to assess the performance of the new version of the halo finder. Results. In the idealised tests, ASOHF produces excellent results, being able to find virtually all the structures and substructures placed within the computational domain. When applied to realistic data from simulations, the performance of our finder is fully consistent with the results from other commonly used halo finders, with remarkable performance in substructure detection. Besides, ASOHF turns out to be extremely efficient in terms of computational cost. Conclusions. We present a public, deeply revised version of the ASOHF halo finder. The new version of the code produces remarkable results finding haloes and subhaloes in cosmological simulations, with an excellent parallel performance and with a contained computational cost.

description: Abstract

The purpose of this study is to outline the task of investors in environmental restoration, specifically in completing the calculation of environmental costs in coal mining. This study used qualitative descriptive research methodology. Data collection techniques use qualitative analysis. The findings of this study show how strict Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management regulates the responsibility of environmental restoration investors in the application of environmental levies in coal mining. This section also outlines obligations, such as containing sources of pollution, cleaning up contaminants, and using other measures that are in line with scientific progress. Naturally, there will be significant costs involved in having this done. In this situation, the operations manager and coal mining company must be able to maintain current operations. milieu

description: The Structure, Excitation, and Dynamics of the Inner Galactic InterStellar Medium (SEDIGISM) survey has produced high (spatial and spectral) resolution $^{13}$CO (2-1) maps of the Milky Way. It has allowed us to investigate the molecular interstellar medium in the inner Galaxy at an unprecedented level of detail and characterise it into molecular clouds. In a previous paper, we have classified the SEDIGISM clouds into four morphologies. However, how the properties of the clouds vary for these four morphologies is not well understood. Here, we use the morphological classification of SEDIGISM clouds to find connections between the cloud morphologies, their integrated properties, and their location on scaling relation diagrams. We observe that ring-like clouds show the most peculiar properties, having, on average, higher masses, sizes, aspect ratios and velocity dispersions compared to other morphologies. We speculate that this is related to the physical mechanisms that regulate their formation and evolution, for example, turbulence from stellar feedback can often results in the creation of bubble-like structures. We also see a trend of morphology with virial parameter whereby ring-like, elongated, clumpy and concentrated clouds have virial parameters in a decreasing order. Our findings provide a foundation for a better understanding of the molecular cloud behaviour based on their measurable properties.

The first part achieves this objective by observing the cultural and socio-cultural background that is an inevitable reference for that proposal, by reading the space, the time, the lexicon of pedagogical voices; the second part examines and comments on the idea of care in different educational settings, discovers the connections between the reasons for educational care and the reasons for a pedagogical humanism; the third part looks at spaces, times, places, realities of the absence, that is, it shows, deduces and suggests the need to think about the meaning of human and educational care in terms of sustainability.

description: We present a thermodynamic analysis of the recently discovered nitride ferroelectric materials using the classic Landau-Devonshire approach. The electrostrictive and dielectric stiffness coefficients of Al1-xScxN with wurtzite structure (6mm) are determined using a free energy density function assuming a hexagonal parent phase (6/mmm), with the first order phase transition based on the dielectric stiffness relationships. The results of this analysis show that the strain sensitivity of the energy barrier is one order of magnitude larger than that of the spontaneous polarization in these novel wurtzite ferroelectrics, yet both are less sensitive to strain compared to classic perovskite ferroelectrics. These analysis results reported here explain experimentally reported sensitivity of coercive field to elastic strain/stress in Al1-xScxN films, and would enable further thermodynamic analysis via phase field simulation and related methods.

description: In our previous article Phys. Rev. Lett. 127 (2021) 271601, we announced a novel 'democratic' Lagrangian formulation of general nonlinear electrodynamics in four dimensions that features electric and magnetic potentials on equal footing. Here, we give an expanded and more detailed account of this new formalism, and then proceed to push it significantly further by building the corresponding Lagrangian theories of higher form field interactions in arbitrary dimensions. Special attention is given to interactions of chiral 2k-forms in 4k+2 dimensions, with further details for 2-forms in 6 dimensions and 4-forms in 10 dimensions. We comment more broadly on the structure of covariant equations of motion for chiral fields, and on the place of our Lagrangian theories in this context. The Lagrangian theories we develop are simple and explicit, and cover a much broader class of interactions than all past attempts in the literature.

description: We present a collection of biophysics examination problems that focus on electrodiffusion, the superposition principle, and currents in RC circuits, leading towards an understanding of the Hodgkin-Huxley model of action potentials. These problems link basic concepts in electricity to the physiology of living cells. The models described in these problems are intended help students develop an understanding of electrical processes in cells. Our work shows how introductory-level electricity courses can be taught in parallel with basic cell (electro)physiology and how basic concepts of electric circuits apply to cellular phenomena.
Multiwavelength Observations of the Blazar VER J0521+211 During an Elevated TeV Gamma-Ray State

description: We report on a long-lasting, elevated gamma-ray flux state from VER J0521+211 observed by VERITAS, MAGIC, and Fermi-LAT in 2013 and 2014. The peak integral flux above 200 GeV measured with the nightly-binned light curve is $(8.8 \pm 0.4) \times 10^{-7} \;\text{ph}\;\text{m}^{-2}\; \text{s}^{-1}$, or ~37% of the Crab Nebula flux. Multiwavelength observations from X-ray, UV, and optical instruments are also presented. A moderate correlation between the X-ray and TeV gamma-ray fluxes was observed, and the X-ray spectrum appeared harder when the flux was higher. Using the gamma-ray spectrum and four models of the extragalactic background light (EBL), a conservative 95% confidence upper limit on the redshift of the source was found to be z<=0.31. Unlike the gamma-ray and X-ray bands, the optical flux did not increase significantly during the studied period compared to the archival low-state flux. The spectral variability from optical to X-ray bands suggests that the synchrotron peak of the spectral energy distribution (SED) may become broader during flaring states, which can be adequately described with a one-zone synchrotron self-Compton model varying the high-energy end of the underlying particle spectrum. The synchrotron peak frequency of the SED, as well as the radio morphology of the jet from the MOJAVE program, are consistent with the source being an intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lac object.

description: Wind-fed supergiant X-ray binaries are precious laboratories not only to study accretion under extreme gravity and magnetic field conditions, but also to probe still highly debated properties of massive star winds. These includes the so-called clumps, originated from the inherent instability of line driven winds, and larger structures. In this paper, we report on the results of the last (and not yet published) monitoring campaigns that our group has been carrying out since 2007 with both XMM-Newton and the Swift Neil Gehrels observatory. Data collected with the EPIC cameras on-board XMM-Newton allow us to carry out a detailed hardness ratio-resolved spectral analysis that can be used as an efficient way to detect spectral variations associated to the presence of clumps. Long-term observations with the XRT on-board Swift, evenly sampling the X-ray emission of supergiant X-ray binaries over many different orbital cycles, are exploited to look for the presence of large scale structures in the medium surrounding the compact objects. The results reported in this paper represent the outcomes of the concluded observational campaigns we carried out on the supergiant X-ray binaries 4U 1907+09, IGR J16393-4643, IGR J19140+0951, and XTE J1855-026, as well as the supergiant fast X-ray transients IGR J17503-2636, IGR J18410-0535, and IGR J11215-5952. All results are discussed in the context of wind-fed supergiant X-ray binaries and shall ideally serve to optimally shape the next observational campaigns aimed at sources in the same classes. We show in one of the paper appendices that IGR J17315-3221, preliminary classified in the literature as a possible supergiant X-ray binary discovered by INTEGRAL, is the product of a data analysis artifact and should thus be disregarded for future studies.

description: Extended theories of gravity have been extensively investigated during the last thirty years, aiming at fixing infrared and ultraviolet shortcomings of General Relativity and of the associated $Λ$CDM cosmological model. Recently, non-local theories of gravity have drawn increasing attention due to their potential to ameliorate both the ultraviolet and infrared behavior of gravitational interaction. In particular, Integral Kernel theories of Gravity provide a viable mechanism to explain the late time cosmic acceleration so as to avoid the introduction of any form of unknown dark energy. On the other hand, these models represent a natural link towards quantum gravity. Here, we study a scalar-tensor equivalent model of General Relativity corrected with non-local terms, where corrections are selected by the existence of Noether symmetries. After performing the weak field limit and generalizing the results to extended mass distributions, we analyse the non-local model at galaxy cluster scales, by comparing the theoretical predictions with gravitational lensing observations from the CLASH program. We obtain agreement with data at the same level of statistical significance as General Relativity. We also provide constraints for the Navarro--Frenk--White parameters and lower bounds for the non-local length scales. The results are finally compared with those from the literature.

description: We study the ground state phase diagram of population balanced and imbalanced ultracold atomic Fermi gases with a short range attractive interaction throughout the crossover from BCS to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), in a two-dimensional optical lattice (2DOL) comprised of two lattice and one continuum dimensions. We find that the mixing of lattice and continuum dimensions, together with population imbalance, has an extraordinary effect on pairing and the superfluidity of atomic Fermi gases. In the balanced case, the superfluid ground state prevails the majority of the phase space. However, for relatively small lattice hopping integral $t$ and large lattice constant $d$, a pair density wave (PDW) emerges unexpectedly at intermediate coupling strength, and the nature of the in-plane and overall pairing changes from particle-like to hole-like in the BCS and unitary regimes, associated with an abnormal increase in the Fermi volume with the pairing strength. In the imbalanced case, the stable polarized superfluid phase shrinks to only a small portion of the entire phase space spanned by $t$, $d$, imbalance $p$ and interaction strength $U$, mainly in the bosonic regime of low $p$, moderately strong pairing, and relatively large $t$ and small $d$. Due to the Pauli exclusion between paired and excessive fermions within the confined momentum space, a PDW phase emerges and the overall pairing evolves from particle-like into hole-like, as the pairing strength grows stronger in the BEC regime. In both cases, the ground state property is largely governed by the Fermi surface topology. These findings are very different from the cases of pure 3D continuum, 3D lattice or 1DOL.

description: Numerical models of Photodissociation Regions (PDRs) are an essential tool to quantitatively understand observations of massive star forming regions through simulations. Few mature PDR models are available and the Cologne KOSMA-$τ$ PDR model is the only sophisticated model that uses a spherical cloud geometry thereby allowing us to simulate clumpy PDRs. We present the current status of the code as reference for modelers and for observers that plan to apply KOSMA-$τ$ to interpret their data. For the numerical solution of the chemical problem we present a superior Newton-Raphson stepping algorithm and discuss strategies to numerically stabilize the problem and speed up the iterations. The chemistry in KOSMA-$τ$ is upgraded to include the full surface chemistry in an up-to-date formulation and we discuss a novel computation of branching ratios in chemical desorption reactions. The high dust temperature in PDRs leads to a selective freeze-out of oxygen-bearing ice species due to their higher condensation temperatures and we study changes in the ice mantle structures depending on the PDR parameters, in particular the impinging UV field. Selective freeze-out can produce enhanced C abundances and higher gas temperatures resulting in a fine-structure line emission of atomic carbon [C] enhanced by up to 50% if surface reactions are considered. We show how recent ALMA observations of HCO$^+$ emission in the Orion Bar with high spatial resolution on the scale of individual clumps can be interpreted in the context of non-stationary, clumpy PDR ensembles. Additionally, we introduce WL-PDR, a simple plane-parallel PDR model written in Mathematica to act as numerical testing environment of PDR modeling aspects.

description: Introduction: The present study was performed to evaluate the effects of light-curing modes and shades of methacrylate and silorane-based composite resins on temperature rise during polymerization of composite resins.

Materials &Methods: In this in vitro study, ninety composite samples with two types of composite resin - methacrylate-based and a low-shrinkage silorane-based were prepared, in 3 groups (30 samples in each group), Group 1: Filtek Z250 (shade A3), Group 2: Filtek Z250 (shade B2) and Group 3: Filtek P90 (shade A3). To evaluate temperature changes, 15 samples and the other half were light-cured using the standard and soft start curing modes for 40 seconds, respectively. A k-type thermocouple was used to recorded temperature changes.

Results: Temperature rise in the silorane-based composite resin group (group 3) was higher than that in the methacrylate-based one (group 1) (P<0.001). Temperature rise with the darker shade (group 1) was higher than that with lighter shade (group 2) (P<0.001). Standard curing resulted in more temperature rise compared to soft start curing; however, the difference was only significant in group 2 (P<0.001). In all groups, temperature increased with an increase in curing time and the temperature rise pattern during the first 10 seconds with the soft start curing was not consistent with the standard curing (in group 2 and 3); the temperature rise pattern was milder than the soft start curing (P<0.001).

Conclusion: Factors such as composite resin type, shade and curing mode affected temperature changes in composite resins evaluated in the present study.

description: Excitation energy transfer (EET) and electron transfer (ET) are crucially involved in photosynthetic processes. In reality, the photosynthetic reaction center constitutes an open quantum system of EET and ET, which manifests an interplay of pigments, solar light and phonon baths. So far theoretical studies have been mainly based on master equation approaches in the Markovian condition. The non-Markovian environmental effect, which may play a crucial role, has not been sufficiently considered. In this work, we propose a mixed dynamic approach to investigate this open system. The influence of phonon bath is treated via the exact dissipaton equation of motion (DEOM) while that of photon bath is via the Lindblad master equation. Specifically, we explore the effect of non-Markovian quantum phonon bath on the coherent transfer dynamics and its manipulation on the current-voltage behavior. Distinguished from the results of completely Markovian Lindblad equation and those adopting classical environment description, the mixed DEOM-Lindblad simulations exhibit transfer coherence up to a few hundreds femtoseconds and the related environmental manipulation effect on current. These non-Markovian quantum coherent effects be extended tomore complex and realistic systems and be helpful to the design of organic photovoltaic devices.

description: The lack of convergence of the convolution integrals appearing in next-to-leading-power (NLP) factorization theorems prevents the applications of existing methods to resum power-suppressed large logarithmic corrections in collider physics. We consider thrust distribution in the two-jet region for the flavour-nonsinglet off-diagonal contribution, where a gluon-initiated jet recoils against a quark-antiquark pair, which is power-suppressed. With the help of operatorial endpoint factorization conditions, we obtain a factorization formula, where the individual terms are free from endpoint divergences in convolutions and can be expressed in terms of renormalized hard, soft and collinear functions in four dimensions. This allows us to perform the first resummation of the endpoint-divergent SCET$_{\rm I}$ observables at the leading logarithmic accuracy using exclusively renormalization-group methods. The presented approach relies on universal properties of the soft and collinear limits and may serve as a paradigm for the systematic NLP resummation for other $1\to 2$ and $2\to 1$ collider physics processes.

description: Low-phase-noise and pure-spectrum Raman light is vital for high-precision atom interferometry by two-photon Raman transition. A preferred and prevalent solution for Raman light generation is electro-optic phase modulation. However, phase modulation inherently brings in double sidebands, resulting in residual sideband effects of multiple laser pairs beside Raman light in atom interferometry. Based on a well-designed rectangular fiber Bragg grating and an electro-optic modulator, optical single-sideband modulation has been realized at 1560 nm with a stable suppression ratio better than -25 dB despite of intense temperature variations. After optical filtration and frequency doubling, a robust phase-coherent Raman light at 780 nm is generated with a stable SNR of better than -19 dB and facilitates measuring the local gravity successfully. This proposed all-fiber single-sideband-modulated Raman light source, characterized as robust, compact and low-priced, is practical and potential for field applications of portable atom interferometry.

Two-fluid implementation in MPI-AMRVAC, with applications in the solar chromosphere

description: The chromosphere is a partially ionized layer of the solar atmosphere, the transition between the photosphere where the gas is almost neutral and the fully ionized corona. As the collisional coupling between neutral and charged particles decreases in the upper part of the chromosphere, the hydrodynamical timescales may become comparable to the collisional timescale, and a two-fluid model is needed. In this paper we describe the implementation and validation of a two-fluid model which simultaneously evolves charges and neutrals, coupled by collisions. The two-fluid equations are implemented in the fully open-source MPI-AMRVAC code. In the photosphere and the lower part of the solar atmosphere, where collisions between charged and neutral particles are very frequent, an explicit time-marching would be too restrictive, since for stability the timestep needs to be proportional to the inverse of the collision frequency. This is overcome by evaluating the collisional terms implicitly using an explicit-implicit (IMEX) scheme. The cases presented cover very different collisional regimes and our results are fully consistent with related literature findings. If collisional time and length scales are smaller than the hydrodynamical scales usually considered in the solar chromosphere, density structures seen in the neutral and charged fluids are similar, with the effect of elastic collisions between charges and neutrals being similar to diffusivity. Otherwise, density structures are different and the decoupling in velocity between the two species increases. The use of IMEX schemes efficiently avoids the small timestep constraints of fully explicit implementations in strongly collisional regimes. Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) greatly decreases the computational cost, compared to uniform grid runs at the same effective resolution.
