description: Contemporary Ghanaian popular singing combines European and traditional Ghanaian influences. We hypothesize that access to technology embedded with equal temperament catalyzed a progressive alignment of Ghanaian singing with equal-tempered scales over time. To test this, we study the Ghanaian singer Daddy Lumba, whose work spans from the earliest Ghanaian electronic style in the late 1980s to the present. Studying a singular musician as a case study allows us to refine our analysis without over-interpreting the findings. We curated a collection of his songs, distributed between 1989 and 2016, to extract F0 values from isolated vocals. We used Gaussian mixture modeling (GMM) to approximate each song's scale and found that the pitch variance has been decreasing over time. We also determined whether the GMM components follow the arithmetic relationships observed in equal-tempered scales, and observed that Daddy Lumba's singing better aligns with equal temperament in recent years. Together, results reveal the impact of exposure to equal-tempered scales, resulting in lessened microtonal content in Daddy Lumba's singing. Our study highlights a potential vulnerability of Ghanaian musical scales and implies a need for research that maps and archives singing styles.

description: We present a possible interpretation of the recent diphoton excess reported by the $\sqrt s=13$ TeV LHC data in quark seesaw left-right models with vectorlike fermions proposed to solve the strong $CP$ problem without the axion. The gauge singlet real scalar field responsible for the mass of the vectorlike fermions has the right production cross section and diphoton branching ratio to be identifiable with the reported excess at around 750 GeV diphoton invariant mass. Various ways to test this hypothesis as more data accumulates at the LHC are proposed.

description: The layered honeycomb magnet $α$-Li$_2$IrO$_3$ has been theoretically proposed as a candidate to display novel magnetic behaviour associated with Kitaev interactions between spin-orbit entangled $j_{\rm eff}=1/2$ magnetic moments on a honeycomb lattice. Here we report single crystal magnetic resonant x-ray diffraction combined with powder magnetic neutron diffraction to reveal an incommensurate magnetic order in the honeycomb layers with Ir magnetic moments counter-rotating on nearest-neighbour sites. This type of magnetic structure has not been reported experimentally before in honeycomb magnets and cannot be explained by a spin Hamiltonian with dominant isotropic (Heisenberg) couplings. The magnetic structure shares many key features with the magnetic order in the structural polytypes $β$ and $γ$-Li$_2$IrO$_3$, understood theoretically to be stabilized by dominant Kitaev interactions between Ir moments located on the vertices of three-dimensional hyperhoneycomb and stripyhoneycomb lattices, respectively. Based on this analogy and a theoretical soft-spin analysis of magnetic ground states for candidate spin Hamiltonians, we propose that Kitaev interactions also dominate in $α$-Li$_2$IrO$_3$, indicative of universal Kitaev physics across all three members of the harmonic honeycomb family of Li$_2$IrO$_3$ polytypes.

description: This paper constructs two immediate extensions of the existing anisotropic solutions in the context of Einstein-Maxwell framework by employing minimal geometric deformation. To achieve this, we assume a static spherical interior initially filled with anisotropic fluid and call it a seed source. We extend this matter configuration by including a new source whose impact on the self-gravitating system is governed by a decoupling parameter. The charged field equations analogous to the total fluid source are formulated. We then implement a transformation on the radial metric potential that divides the field equations into two new under-determined systems, corresponding to the initial and new sources. The first of them is addressed by taking two well-known metric ansatz so that the number of unknowns can be tackled. Further, the vanishing of total anisotropy and complexity-free constraints are used to solve the second set. The estimated radius and mass of a compact star $4U~1820-30$ is utilized to interpret the resulting solutions graphically for different values of the charge and decoupling parameter $ω$. We conclude that our both developed models are physically acceptable for all parametric values except $ω=1$.

description: L’essor des nouvelles générations et technologies conduit à repenser la façon de sensibiliser et de former étudiants et professionnels de santé. La simulation et les jeux sérieux offrent des alternatives pédagogiques attrayantes au fort potentiel, sans mise en danger du patient. Initialement utilisées en santé dans les domaines de l’urgence, de la réanimation et de la chirurgie, ces méthodes s’ouvrent à toutes les spécialités dont celle de la prévention des infections associées aux soins. Cet article présente de façon synthétique les grandes lignes et prérequis de la simulation et des jeux sérieux, ainsi que leurs modalités d’utilisation pour promouvoir la prévention du risque infectieux. La séance de simulation se compose d’un briefing, du déroulement d’un scénario et d’un débriefing. L’intégration de la prévention du risque infectieux est indispensable en simulation procédurale, et ne doit pas être occultée dans le cas des autres modalités de simulations. Y associer un hygiéniste ou un formateur référent est une plus-value, sous réserve que ces experts aient reçu au préalable une formation ad hoc à la simulation (diplôme universitaire ou formation courte). Les jeux sérieux bénéficient d’une aura positive auprès des étudiants et toutes les générations peuvent être intéressées et impactées par un jeu sérieux. Ces jeux, sous réserve de suivre des règles de construction précises, apportent et ancrent profondément les connaissances, majorent l’intérêt pour la thématique, et favorisent l’engagement vers de bonnes pratiques. Simulation et jeux sérieux sont donc des outils essentiels à la prévention du risque infectieux, dont la pertinence implique de les intégrer dans les actions de sensibilisation et de formation.

description: We present a comparison of the tunnel magneto-Seebeck effect for laser induced and intrinsic heating. Therefore, Co$_{40}$Fe$_{40}$B$_{20}$/MgAl$_2$O$_4$ and Co$_{25}$Fe$_{55}$B$_{20}$/MgO magnetic tunnel junctions have been prepared. The TMS ratio of 3\,\% in case of the MAO MTJ agrees well with ratios found for other barrier materials, while the TMS ratio of 23\,\% of the MgO MTJ emphasizes the influence of the CoFe composition. We find results using the intrinsic method that differ in sign and magnitude in comparison to the results of the laser heating. The intrinsic contributions can alternatively be explained by the Brinkman model and the given junction properties. Especially, we are able to demonstrate that the symmetric contribution is solely influenced by the barrier asymmetry. Thus, we conclude that the symmetry analysis used for the intrinsic method is not suitable to unambiguously identify an intrinsic tunnel magneto-Seebeck effect.

description: We use observational data on the magnitude-redshift relation for Type Ia supernovae together with constraints on the ages of the oldest stars to rule out a higher-dimensional extension of General Relativity with a negative kinetic-energy scalar field. This theory is of considerable physical interest because it produces accelerated expansion at both early and late times with a single new field, as in quintessential inflation scenarios. It is also of mathematical interest because it is characterized by an analytic expression for the macroscopic scale factor $a(t)$. We show that cosmological solutions of this theory can be usefully parametrized by a single quantity, the lookback time $τ_{\text{tr}}$ corresponding to the transition from deceleration to acceleration. Supernovae data from the recently released Supernova Cosmology Project Union 2.1 compilation single out a narrow range of values for $τ_{\text{tr}}$. In the context of the theory, however, these same values of $τ_{\text{tr}}$ imply that the universe is much older than the oldest observed stars.

description: We present an effective model for a subwavelength periodically patterned metallic layer, its cavities being filled with a nonlinear dielectric material, which accounts for both the linear and second order behavior. The effective non linear susceptibility for the homogenized layer is driven by the nonlinearity of the dielectric material and by the geometrical parameters, thus leading to much higher susceptibility than existing materials. This leads to a huge enhancement of non linear processes when used together with resonances. Furthermore, multiple resonances are taking place in the metallic cavities, and we investigate the mode matching situations for frequency conversion processes and show how it enhances further their efficiency.

description: We report on the elastic contact between a spherical lens and a patterned substrate, composed of an hexagonal lattice of cylindrical pillars. The stress field and the size of the contact area are obtained by means of numerical methods (discrete Green's function superposition and iterative bisection-like methods). For small indentations, a transition from a Hertzian to a Boussinesq-Cerruti-like behavior is observed when the surface fraction of the substrate that is covered by pillars is increased. In particular, we present a master curve defined by two dimensionless parameters, which allows to predict the stress at the center of contact region in terms of the surface fraction occupied by pillars. The transition between the limiting contact regimes, Hertzian and Boussinesq-Cerruti-like, is well described by a rational function. Additionally, a simple model to describe the Boussines-Cerruti-like contact between the lens and a single elastic pillar, which takes into account the pillar geometry and the elastic properties of the two bodies, is presented.
Accessibility of Nirvāṇa : the language and media of Sri Lankan Buddhist televangelists and their followers

description: During the last two decades of upheaval in Sri Lanka (including civil war, ethnic violence and the current economic crisis), a new transnational movement of televangelist Buddhist monks, collectively part of the Mahamevnāva Monastery, has emerged encouraging followers to access nirvāṇa (liberation from suffering) in this lifetime. The movement encourages lay Buddhists to prioritize attaining nirvāṇa over material wealth and nationalist politics. To make the concept more accessible to a wider audience, the Mahamevnāva movement has built over fifty branch monasteries, known as asapu (hermitages) in urban settings in Sri Lanka and twenty worldwide since 1999. In their rituals, they use colloquial Sinhala instead of the traditional Pāli language and employ modern televisual technologies to create new ritual spectacles of nirvāṇa. This dissertation examines how Mahamevnāva Buddhists—both monks lay practitioners—are reforming Buddhist practice through innovative rituals and new linguistic and media forms to create a non-hierarchical, non-consumerist, non-nationalist religious movement focused on attaining nirvāṇa in this world. I furthermore explore how in doing so the movement has produced a new hierarchical form of nationalist religiosity for an urban middle-class of Sri Lankan Buddhists. This dissertation seeks to move beyond polarizing paradigms of either materialist consumerism or nationalist politics on the one hand and decontextualized religious liberation on the other, viewing it instead as a Post-Protestant Buddhist movement, a reformation of 19th century Protestant Buddhist practice through new techniques of mediation. Thus, this dissertation argues that non-materialistic religious identities can coexist with consumerist forms of media and nationalist language. In turn, the uptake of this accessible nirvāṇa, through new forms of media and linguistic registers of emerging ritual practices, contributes to a religious transformation and a new form of nationalism. Ultimately this research reveals that this religious reformation caters to the demand of modern individuals to access liberation amidst the embodied "evil" of neoliberalism, social hierarchy, and political uncertainty. As such, both new and traditional media formats make the previously inaccessible goal of liberation an attainable objective in this lifetime for trans-local and transnational Sri Lankan lay middle-class subjects.

description: Weak gravitational lensing (WL) is one of the most powerful techniques to learn about the dark sector of the universe. To extract the WL signal from astronomical observations, galaxy shapes must be measured and corrected for the point spread function (PSF) of the imaging system with extreme accuracy. Future WL missions (such as the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope, WFIRST) will use a family of hybrid nearinfrared CMOS detectors (HAWAII-4RG) that are untested for accurate WL measurements. Like all image sensors, these devices are subject to conversion gain nonlinearities (voltage response to collected photo-charge) that bias the shape and size of bright objects such as reference stars that are used in PSF determination. We study this type of detector nonlinearity (NL) and show how to derive requirements on it from WFIRST PSF size and ellipticity requirements. We simulate the PSF optical profiles expected for WFIRST and measure the fractional error in the PSF size and the absolute error in the PSF ellipticity as a function of star magnitude and the NL model. For our nominal NL model (a quadratic correction), we find that, uncalibrated, NL can induce an error of 0.01 (fractional size) and 0.00175 (absolute ellipticity error) in the H158 bandpass for the brightest unsaturated stars in WFIRST. In addition, our simulations show that to limit the bias of the size and ellipticity errors in the H158 band to approximately 10% of the estimated WFIRST error budget, the parameter of our quadratic NL model must be calibrated to about 1% and 2.4%, respectively. We present a fitting formula that can be used to estimate WFIRST detector NL requirements once a true PSF error budget is established.

Supersymmetric $SO(10)$-inspired leptogenesis and a new $N_2$-dominated scenario

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the supersymmetric extension of $SO(10)$-inspired thermal leptogenesis showing the constraints on neutrino parameters and on the reheat temperature $T_{\rm RH}$ that derive from the condition of successful leptogenesis from next-to-lightest right handed (RH) neutrinos ($N_2$) decays and the more stringent ones when independence of the initial conditions (strong thermal leptogenesis) is superimposed. In the latter case, the increase of the lightest right-handed neutrino ($N_1$) decay parameters helps the wash-out of a pre-existing asymmetry and constraints relax compared to the non-supersymmetric case. We find significant changes especially in the case of large $\tanβ$ values $(\gtrsim 15)$. In particular, for normal ordering, the atmospheric mixing angle can now be also maximal. The lightest (ordinary) neutrino mass is still constrained within the range $10 \lesssim m_1/{\rm meV} \lesssim 30$ (corresponding to $75\lesssim \sum_i m_i/{\rm meV} \lesssim 120$). Inverted ordering is still disfavoured, but an allowed region satisfying strong thermal leptogenesis opens up at large $\tanβ$ values. We also study in detail the lower bound on $T_{\rm RH}$ finding $T_{\rm RH}\gtrsim 1 \times 10^{10}\,{\rm GeV}$ independently of the initial $N_2$ abundance. Finally, we propose a new $N_2$-dominated scenario where the $N_1$ mass is lower than the sphaleron freeze-out temperature. In this case there is no $N_1$ wash-out and we find $T_{\rm RH} \gtrsim 1\times 10^{9}\,{\rm GeV}$. These results indicate that $SO(10)$-inspired thermal leptogenesis can be made compatible with the upper bound from the gravitino problem, an important result in light of the role often played by supersymmetry in the quest of a realistic model of fermion masses.

description: Purpose: To employ deep learning for suppression of the artifact-generating T1-relaxation echo in cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) for the purpose of reducing the scan time. Methods: A U-Net was trained to suppress the artifact-generating T1-relaxation echo using complementary phase-cycled data as the ground truth. A data augmentation method was developed that generates synthetic DENSE images with arbitrary displacement encoding frequencies to suppress the T1-relaxation echo modulated for a range of frequencies. The resulting U-Net (DAS- Net) was compared to a k-space zero-filling as an alternative method. Non-phase-cycled DENSE images acquired in shorter breath-holds were processed by DAS-Net and compared to DENSE images acquired with phase-cycling for the quantification of myocardial strain. Results: DAS-Net effectively suppressed the T1-relaxation echo and its artifacts, and achieved root mean square error (RMSE) = 5.5±0.8 and structural similarity index (SSIM) = 0.85±0.02 for DENSE images acquired with a displacement encoding frequency of 0.10 cycles/mm. DAS-Net outperformed zero-filling (RMSE = 5.8±1.5 vs 13.5±1.5, DAS-Net vs zero-filling, p<0.01 and SSIM = 0.83±0.04 vs 0.66±0.03, DAS-Net vs zero-filling, p<0.01). Strain data for non-phase- cycled DENSE images with DAS-Net showed close agreement with strain from phase-cycled DENSE. Conclusion: DAS-Net provides an effective alternative approach for suppression of the artifact- generating T1-relaxation echo in DENSE MRI, enabling a 42% reduction in scan time compared to DENSE with phase-cycling.

description: We study wave propagation in a draining bathtub: a fluid-mechanical black hole analogue in which perturbations are governed by a Klein-Gordon equation on an effective Lorentzian geometry. Like the Kerr spacetime, the draining bathtub geometry possesses an (effective) horizon, an ergosphere and null circular orbits. We propose that a `pulse' disturbance may be used to map out the light-cone of the effective geometry. First, we apply the eikonal approximation to elucidate the link between wavefronts, null geodesic congruences and the Raychaudhuri equation. Next, we solve the wave equation numerically in the time domain using the method of lines. Starting with Gaussian initial data, we demonstrate that a pulse will propagate along a null congruence and thus trace out the light-cone of the effective geometry. Our numerical results reveal features, such as wavefront intersections, frame-dragging, winding and interference effects, that are closely associated with the presence of null circular orbits and the ergosphere.

Effective Passivant Pseudopotentials for semiconductors: beyond the spherical approximation
Creators: name: Cárdenas, J. R.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: A new type of effective atomic pseudopotential for passivation of semiconductor surfaces is presented. It is shown that the spherical approximation used in the effective and empirical pseudopotential methods is not suitable for describing passivants and that, instead, they have to be regarded as complex quantities. Since the new seudopotentials cannot be handled as usual bulk ones, the way of implementing them in atomistic methods is described here, together with a methodology for extracting them trough an analytic connection to density functional theory, meaning that the new type of surface potential keeps the {\it ab inito} identity. The effectiveness and high transferability of this new approach is demonstrated by generating passivant potentials for six different semiconductor compounds (GaAs, AlAs, Si, Ge, CdSe and ZnO) and testing them on different kinds of surfaces, including a passivated 68 atoms CdSe quantum wire in wurtzite structure, obtaining always an excellent agreement to density functional theory calculations done on the same systems.

description: We investigate the phenomenology of the light charged and neutral scalars in Inert Doublet Model at future $e^+ e^-$ colliders with center of mass energies of 0.5 and 1 TeV, and integrated luminosity of 500~fb$^{-1}$. The analysis covers two production processes, $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow H^{+}H^{-}$ and $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow AH$, and consists of signal selections, cross section determinations as well as dark matter mass measurements. Several benchmark points are studied with focus on $H^{\pm} \rightarrow W^{\pm}H$ and $A \rightarrow ZH$ decays. It is concluded that the signal will be well observable in different final states allowing for mass determination of all new scalars with statistical precision of the order of few hundred MeV.

description: Although all Arab monarchies (Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Jordan and Morocco) witnessed varying degrees of mass protest during the Arab uprisings of 2011, none of the kings and princes has thus far been deposed. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia saw pockets of sporadic protest in many cities in the early months of 2011, but those failed to evolve into a mass protest movement across the country. This paper analyses the conditions that helped maintain Saudi stability, attributing it to a combination of domestic and regional factors. This paper highlights how the conditions that led to monarchical resilience over the last five years may result in unexpected upheavals in the future.

description: We report on observations of thickness dependent Josephson coupling and multiple Andreev reflections (MAR) in vertically stacked molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) - molybdenum rhenium (MoRe) Josephson junctions. MoRe, a chemically inert superconductor, allows for oxide free fabrication of high transparency vertical MoS2 devices. Single and bilayer MoS2 junctions display relatively large critical currents (up to 2.5 uA) and the appearance of sub-gap structure given by MAR. In three and four layer thick devices we observe orders of magnitude lower critical currents (sub-nA) and reduced quasiparticle gaps due to proximitized MoS2 layers in contact with MoRe. We anticipate that this device architecture could be easily extended to other 2D materials.

description: The purpose of this survey article is a comprehensive study of operator Lipschitz functions. A continuous function $f$ on the real line ${\Bbb R}$ is called operator Lipschitz if $\|f(A)-f(B)\|\le{\rm const}\|A-B\|$ for arbitrary self-adjoint operators $A$ and $B$. We give sufficient conditions and necessary conditions for operator Lipschitzness. We also study the class of operator differentiable functions on ${\Bbb R}$. Then we consider operator Lipschitz functions on closed subsets of the plane as well as commutator Lipschitz functions on such subsets. Am important role is played by double operator integrals and Schur multipliers.

Disentangling the hadronic molecule nature of the $P_c(4380)$ pentaquark-like structure

description: We demonstrate that the relative ratio of the decays of hidden charm pentaquark-like structure $P^+_c(4380)$ to $\bar{D}^* Λ_c^+$ and $J/ψp$ are very different for $P^+_c$ being $\bar{D} Σ_c^*(2520)$ or $\bar{D}^* Σ_c(2455)$ molecule states. While the partial width of the $\bar{D} Σ_c^*(2520)$ molecule to the $\bar{D}^* Λ_c^+$ is much larger, by one order of magnitude, than that to the $J/ψp$, the $\bar{D}^* Σ_c(2455)$ molecule shows a different pattern. Our analysis shows that the $\bar{D} Σ_c^*$ bound state ansatz is more reasonable than the $\bar{D}^* Σ_c$ one to explain the broad $P_c(4380)$ structure. We suggest to search for the $P_c(4380)$ in the $\bar{D}^* Λ_c^+$ system, which can be used to disentangle the nature of the $P^+_c(4380)$ structure.

Neighborhood quality, childhood adversity, and child social and behavioral problems

description: This study assesses neighborhood quality and its associations with parents’ perceptions of their child’s internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and social problems. Childhood adversity is assessed as a possible mechanism by which neighborhoods are impactful for children and adolescents. Data were obtained from the 2018-2019 combined National Survey of Children’s Health dataset to examine the associations among neighborhood quality, adverse childhood experiences, and social and behavioral problems among US children aged 6-17 (N = 38,759). Moderation by developmental stage was also examined. Logistic regressions, mediation, moderation, and moderated mediation analyses were run. Logistic regressions showed that higher neighborhood quality was associated with a lower risk of internalizing problems (OR = 0.37, 95% CI 0.29—0.46), externalizing problems (OR = 0.44, 95% CI 0.37—0.52), and social problems (OR = 0.30, 95% CI 0.25—0.36). Mediation analyses showed small indirect effects for childhood adversity as a mediator in the association between neighborhood quality and each child outcome (β = -.03 to -.04, p < .001). Moderation analyses and moderated mediation analyses resulted in non-significant effects, concluding that there were no differences by developmental stage for each outcome measure. The findings of this study convey the importance that neighborhoods play on child and adolescent outcomes and encourage policymakers and community stakeholders to take the necessary steps to detect neighborhoods in need of resources and support to reduce negative child outcomes.
JPEG Information Regularized Deep Image Prior for Denoising

description: Image denoising is a representative image restoration task in computer vision. Recent progress of image denoising from only noisy images has attracted much attention. Deep image prior (DIP) demonstrated successful image denoising from only a noisy image by inductive bias of convolutional neural network architectures without any pre-training. The major challenge of DIP based image denoising is that DIP would completely recover the original noisy image unless applying early stopping. For early stopping without a ground-truth clean image, we propose to monitor JPEG file size of the recovered image during optimization as a proxy metric of noise levels in the recovered image. Our experiments show that the compressed image file size works as an effective metric for early stopping.

description: The delivery of consumer energy requirements is a key focus of the Smart Systems and Heat Programme.The Consumer Response and Behavior Project will identify consumer requirements and predict consumer response to Smart Energy System proposals, providing a consumer focus for the other Work Areas. This project involved thousands of respondents providing insight into consumer requirements for heat and energy services, both now and in the future. Particular focus was given to identifying the behaviour that leads people to consume energy - in particular heat and hot water. This £3m project was led by PRP Architects, experts in the built environment. It involved a consortium of academia and industry - UCL Energy Institute,Frontier Economics, the Technology Partnership, the Peabody Trust, National Centre for Social Research and Hitachi Europe

This is an addendum to the call for proposals for this project. Itintroduces the ETI Smart Systems and Heat Programme;positions the Consumer Behaviour Project within the Smart Systems and Heat Programme; anddescribes the expected interactions between the Consumer Behaviour Project and the other projects of the Smart Systems and Heat Programme.
