title: Journalistische Recherche backstage
Creators: name: Rathgeb, Thomas
Year: 2020

description: Diese Masterarbeit untersucht die Strukturen und Umgangsweisen, die in den informellen Netzwerken, die österreichische Politikjournalist*innen zu Politiker*innen und Pressesprecher*innen pflegen, vorzufinden sind. Theoretische Basis sind neben netzwerkanalytischen Grundannahmen die Konzepte des Sozialkapitals und der Homophilie. Das Forschungsdesign basiert auf einem Mixed-Methods-Ansatz, bestehend aus quantitativer Online-Befragung und qualitativen Leitfadeninterviews. Zu den essentiellen Erkenntnissen zählt, dass die Journalist*innen mit ihren informellen Beziehungen effizient umgehen. Das zeigt sich darin, dass bei regelmäßigen Kontakten zumeist auf ein hohes Sozialkapital zurückgegriffen werden kann. Ferner besteht seitens der Journalist*innen selbst dann der Anspruch, den professionellen Rollenerwartungen gerecht zu werden, wenn problematische Rahmenbedingungen auftreten. Die Homophilie tritt schließlich in der geographischen Nähe am stärksten in Erscheinung. Das führt zu einer regionalen Rückkoppelung und verhindert die Entfremdung bundespolitischer Akteure vom regionalen und lokalen Journalismus.

description: We consider the problem of detecting OoD(Out-of-Distribution) input data when using deep neural networks, and we propose a simple yet effective way to improve the robustness of several popular OoD detection methods against label shift. Our work is motivated by the observation that most existing OoD detection algorithms consider all training/test data as a whole, regardless of which class entry each input activates (inter-class differences). Through extensive experimentation, we have found that such practice leads to a detector whose performance is sensitive and vulnerable to label shift. To address this issue, we propose a class-wise thresholding scheme that can apply to most existing OoD detection algorithms and can maintain similar OoD detection performance even in the presence of label shift in the test distribution.

description: When an NLP model is trained on text data from one time period and tested or deployed on data from another, the resulting temporal misalignment can degrade end-task performance. In this work, we establish a suite of eight diverse tasks across different domains (social media, science papers, news, and reviews) and periods of time (spanning five years or more) to quantify the effects of temporal misalignment. Our study is focused on the ubiquitous setting where a pretrained model is optionally adapted through continued domain-specific pretraining, followed by task-specific finetuning. We establish a suite of tasks across multiple domains to study temporal misalignment in modern NLP systems. We find stronger effects of temporal misalignment on task performance than have been previously reported. We also find that, while temporal adaptation through continued pretraining can help, these gains are small compared to task-specific finetuning on data from the target time period. Our findings motivate continued research to improve temporal robustness of NLP models.

description: Integrating on-chain and off-chain data storage for decentralised and distributed information systems, such as blockchain, presents specific challenges for providing transparency of data governance and ensuring data integrity through stakeholder engagement. Current research on blockchain-based supply chains focuses on using on-chain governance rules developed for cryptocurrency blockchains to store some critical data points without designing tailored on-chain governance mechanisms and disclosing off-chain decision-making processes on data governance. In response to this research gap, this paper presents an integrated data governance framework that coordinates supply chain stakeholders with inter-linked on-chain and off-chain governance to disclose on-chain and off-chain rules and decision-making processes for supply chain transparency and integrity. We present a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) of our integrated data governance approach and suggest future research to strengthen scaling up and supply chain-based use cases based on our learnings.

title: Die Anfänge der modernen grafischen Formensprache um 1900 in den Plakaten der Wiener Secession
Creators: name: Pichler, Barbora
Year: 2020

description: Um 1900 entstand in Wien plötzlich ein neuer, ausgesprochen moderner Grafikstil. In einer kurzen Zeitspanne hat sich im Rahmen der Ausstellungsplakate der Wiener Secession eine Ästhetik gebildet, die von der aktuellen, sowohl lokalen als auch internationalen Tradition radikal abweicht, in der Forschung allerdings bis dato nur wenig Beachtung gewinnen konnte. Eine Untersuchung der 6 fortschrittlichsten Plakate deutet auf eine programmatische Verschiebung hin zu einer abstrakten linearen Komposition mit flachen Illustrationen, geometrischen Motiven, Ornamenten und einem besonderen Schwerpunkt auf eine kalkulierte Bildwirkung. Eine Analyse der stilistischen Einflüsse, die zu dieser Entwicklung führen, zeigt eine breite Palette von Inspirationsquellen in ganz Europa durch verschiedene künstlerische Medien sowie philosophische und ideologische Werte, die die neue Ästhetik und Formensprache geprägt haben. Eine systematische Analyse der neuen Stilmittel und Gestaltungsmethoden offenbart den Beginn einer modernen visuellen Kommunikation. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen dieser Studie plädiert diese Arbeit für die formale Klassifizierung des Plakatdesigns der Wiener Secession als das erste vollständig artikulierte moderne visuelle Kommunikationssystem in der Geschichte des Grafikdesigns.
description: Around 1900 a new distinctly modern graphic style emerged in Vienna. In a very short time period, a brand new esthetic was developed and displayed in the exhibition posters of the Viennese Secession, that were radically diverging from the current local and international tradition, but haven’t been sufficiently considered by the existing art historical research. This paper analyzes the new upcoming methods concentrating on their systematic description and origin based on the 6 most advanced posters. This study reveals a programmatic shift toward an abstract linear composition, featuring flat illustration, geometric motifs, ornaments, and special emphasis on a carefully designed intended effect on the viewer. An examination of the stylistic influences leading to this development showcases a broad range of inspiration sources across Europe featuring diverse artistic media, as well as philosophical and ideological values, that shaped the new aesthetic. This analysis reveals early stages of a comprehensive modern visual language, and therefore argues the formal classification of the Viennese Secession poster design as the first fully articulated modern visual communication system in graphic design history.

description: Open-access bioinformatics data enables accessible public health research for a variety of stakeholders, including teachers and low-resourced researchers. This project outlines two case studies utilizing open-access bioinformatics data sets and analysis software as proofs of concept for the types of research projects that can be adapted for workforce development purposes. The first case study is a spatial temporal analysis of Lyme disease rates in the United States from 2008 to 2020 using freely available data from the United States Department of Agriculture and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to determine how urbanization and other changes in land use have impacted Lyme disease rates over time. The second case study conducts a pangenome analysis using bacteriophage data from the Actinobacteriophage Database to determine conserved gene regions related to host specificity.
Multireference Density Functional Theory for Describing Ground and Excited States with Renormalized Singles

description: We applied renormalized singles (RS) in the multireference density functional theory (DFT) to calculate accurate energies of ground and excited states. The multireference DFT approach determines the total energy of the $N$-electron system as the sum of the ($N-2$)-electron energy from a density functional approximation (DFA) and the two-electron addition energies from the particle-particle Tamm-Dancoff approximation (ppTDA), naturally including multireference description. The ppTDA@RS-DFA approach uses the RS Hamiltonian capturing all singles contributions in calculating two-electron addition energies, and its total energy is optimized with the optimized effective potential method. It significantly improves the original ppTDA@DFA. For ground states, ppTDA@RS-DFA properly describes dissociation curves tested and the double bond rotation of ethylene. For excited states, ppTDA@RS-DFA provides accurate excitation energies and largely eliminates the DFA dependence. ppTDA@RS-DFA thus provides an efficient multireference approach to systems with static correlation.

Search for flavour-changing neutral-current interactions of a top quark and a gluon in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: A search is presented for the production of a single top quark via left-handed flavour-changing neutral-current (FCNC) interactions of a top quark, a gluon and an up or charm quark. Two production processes are considered: $u+g\rightarrow t$ and $c+g\rightarrow t$. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 13$\,$TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$. Events with exactly one electron or muon, exactly one $b$-tagged jet and missing transverse momentum are selected, resembling the decay products of a singly produced top quark. Neural networks based on kinematic variables differentiate between events from the two signal processes and events from background processes. The measured data are consistent with the background-only hypothesis, and limits are set on the production cross-sections of the signal processes: $σ(u+g\rightarrow t)\times\mathcal{B}(t\rightarrow Wb)\times\mathcal{B}(W\rightarrow \ellν)<3.0\,$pb and $σ(c+g\rightarrow t)\times\mathcal{B}(t\rightarrow Wb)\times\mathcal{B}(W\rightarrow \ellν)<4.7\,$pb at the 95% confidence level, with $\mathcal{B}(W\rightarrow \ellν)=0.325$ being the sum of branching ratios of all three leptonic decay modes of the $W$ boson. Based on the framework of an effective field theory, the cross-section limits are translated into limits on the strengths of the $tug$ and $tcg$ couplings occurring in the theory: $|C^{\,ut}_{uG}|/Λ^2 < 0.057\,$TeV$^{-2}$ and $|C^{\,ct}_{uG}|/Λ^2 < 0.14\,$TeV$^{-2}$. These bounds correspond to limits on the branching ratios of FCNC-induced top-quark decays: $\mathcal{B}(t\rightarrow u+g)< 0.61\times 10^{-4}$ and $\mathcal{B}(t\rightarrow c+g)< 3.7\times 10^{-4}$.

description: The usual Galilean contraction procedure for generating new conformal symmetry algebras takes as input a number of symmetry algebras which are equivalent up to central charge. We demonstrate that the equivalence condition can be relaxed by inhomogeneously contracting the chiral algebras and present general results for the ensuing asymmetric Galilean algebras. Several examples relevant to conformal field theory are discussed in detail, including superconformal algebras and W-algebras. We also discuss how the Sugawara construction is modified in the asymmetric setting.

Understanding probability and irreversibility in the Mori-Zwanzig projection operator formalism

description: Explaining the emergence of stochastic irreversible macroscopic dynamics from time-reversible deterministic microscopic dynamics is one of the key problems in philosophy of physics. The Mori-Zwanzig projection operator formalism, which is one of the most important methods of modern nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, allows for a systematic derivation of irreversible transport equations from reversible microdynamics and thus provides a useful framework for understanding this issue. However, discussions of the Mori-Zwanzig formalism in philosophy of physics tend to focus on simple variants rather than on the more sophisticated ones used in modern physical research. In this work, I will close this gap by studying the problems of probability and irreversibility using the example of Grabert's time-dependent projection operator formalism. This allows to give a more solid mathematical foundation to various concepts from the philosophical literature, in particular Wallace's simple dynamical conjecture and Robertson's theory of autonomous macrodynamics. Moreover, I will explain how the Mori-Zwanzig formalism allows to resolve the tension between epistemic and ontic approaches to probability in statistical mechanics. Finally, I argue that the debate which interventionists and coarse-grainers should really be having is related not to the question why there is equilibration at all, but why it has the quantitative form it is found to have in experiments.

description: TmVO$_{4}$ exhibits ferroquadrupolar order of the Tm 4f electronic orbitals at low temperatures, and is a model system for Ising nematicity that can be tuned continuously to a quantum phase transition via magnetic fields along the $c$-axis. Here we present $^{51}$V nuclear magnetic resonance data in magnetic fields perpendicular to the $c$-axis in a single crystal that has been carefully cut by a plasma focused ion beam to an ellipsoidal shape to minimize the inhomogeneity of the internal demagnetization field. The resulting dramatic increase in spectral resolution enabled us to resolve the anisotropy of the electric field gradient and to measure the magnetic and quadrupolar relaxation channels separately. Perpendicular magnetic fields nominally do not couple to the low energy degrees of freedom, but we find a significant nonlinear contribution for sufficiently large fields that give rise to a rich phase diagram. The in-plane magnetic field can act either as an effective transverse or longitudinal field to the Ising nematic order, depending on the orientation relative to the principle axes of the quadrupole order, and leads to a marked in-plane anisotropy in both relaxation channels. We find that the small in-plane transverse fields initially enhance the ferroquadrupolar ordering temperature but eventually suppress the long-range order. We tentatively ascribe this behavior to the competing effects of field-induced mixing of higher energy crystal field states and the destabilizing effects of field-induced quantum fluctuations.

description: By using the variational matrix product state method, we numerically study the interacting Kitaev chain with spatially varying periodic and quasi-periodic potentials and the latter follows the Fibonacci sequence. The edge correlation functions of Majorana fermions and low-lying ground states are computed to explore the robustness of topological superconducting phase. It is found that the original topological nontrivial phase is separated into to two branches by an emergent topological trivial phase, as a result of the competition among spatially varying potential, electronic Coulomb interaction and chemical potential. The analysis of energy gap and occupation number together suggests that the spontaneous symmetry breaking and the lift of degeneracy in the topological trivial phase are enabled by a potential-induced Fracton mechanism, namely the pairing of four Majorana fermions. It can be broken by further enhancing the interaction, and then the nontrivial phase reemerges. The evolution from the emergent fractal structure of population outside the critical region to the original structure of charge density wave is investigated as well.

description: Photomultiplier tube (PMT) voltage waveforms are the raw data of many neutrino and dark matter experiments. Waveform analysis is the cornerstone of data processing. We evaluate the performance of all the waveform analysis algorithms known to us and find fast stochastic matching pursuit the best in accuracy. Significant time (up to 2 times) and energy (up to 1.07 times) resolution boosts are attainable with fast stochastic matching pursuit, approaching theoretical limits. Other methods also outperform the traditional threshold crossing approach in time resolution.

Creators: name: Bachmann, Alice
Year: 2020

description: In dieser Arbeit wird ausgehend vom Chem-Tracking Lehrpfad von Spitzer, ein chemiespezifischer Lehrpfad entwickelt. Dieser ist dem Thema „Säuren und Basen“ gewidmet und für den Augarten konzipiert. Schülerinnen und Schüler sollen, angeleitet durch eine Webseite, chemische Phänomene der Natur entdecken. Der Lehrpfad wird anhand der Didaktische Rekonstruktion entwickelt. Die fachliche Klärung zeigt die Sachstruktur der „Säuren und Basen“ aus fachwissenschaftlicher Sicht, aus der die Grundideen für die Sachstruktur des Lehrpfades folgen. Die Perspektive der Lernenden wird anhand fachdidaktischer Literatur eingebracht und der Lehrpfad ausgehend von Lehrzielen entworfen. Der Lehrpfad nützt die didaktischen Methoden Outdoor Learning und Mobile Learning. Die Entwicklung folgt den Fragestellungen wie die Thematik durch Chem-Tracking behandelt werden kann, welche chemischen Phänomene im Augarten zur Verfügung stehen und welche Aspekte der Thematik daran erarbeitet werden können. Es wird beleuchtet, wie die Phänomene didaktisch aufgearbeitet und der Lehrpfad in den Unterricht eingegliedert werden kann. Die Lernenden begegnen chemischen Phänomenen direkt und interaktiv. Bei Testungen des pH-Wertes von Naturmaterialien wird aufgezeigt, dass in der Natur saure und basische Lösungen vorkommen. Schneckenhäuser werden mit saurer Lösung auf Kalk geprüft, woran die typische Reaktion zwischen Kalk und saurer Lösung gelehrt wird. Der pH-Wert des Bodens wird getestet und seine Pufferfähigkeit festgestellt. Die Phänomene werden in der Webseite aufbereitet anhand der drei Ebenen des Johnstone Dreiecks. Um Fehlvorstellungen vorzubeugen wird durchgängig das Säure-Basen-Konzept nach Brønsted genutzt. Die Konzentration auf ein Thema des Lehrplans ermöglicht den Lehrpfad als Vertiefung und Ergänzung für den Unterricht zu nutzen.

description: The purpose of this study was to implement pivotal response training (PRT) strategies paired with constant time delay (CTD) to teach an individual with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) to self-initiate through question asking. A multiple probe across behaviors design was used to evaluate effectiveness of implementation. Results show that this naturalistic intervention is effective for some questions, while other questions need to be taught in more contrived scenarios.

description: Some afterglow light curves of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit very complex temporal and spectral features, such as a sudden intensity jump about one hour after the prompt emission in the optical band. We assume that this feature is due to the late collision of two relativistic shells and investigate the corresponding high-energy neutrino emission within a multi-messenger framework, while contrasting our findings with the ones from the classic afterglow model. For a constant density circumburst medium, the total number of emitted neutrinos can increase by about an order of magnitude when an optical jump occurs with respect to the self-similar afterglow scenario. By exploring the detection prospects with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and future radio arrays such as IceCube-Gen2 radio, RNO-G and GRAND200k, as well as the POEMMA spacecraft, we conclude that the detection of neutrinos with IceCube-Gen2 radio could enable us to constrain the fraction of GRB afterglows with a jump as well as the properties of the circumburst medium. We also investigate the neutrino signal expected for the afterglows of GRB 100621A and a GRB 130427A-like burst with an optical jump. The detection of neutrinos from GRB afterglows could be crucial to explore the yet-to-be unveiled mechanism powering the optical jumps.

description: Given the declining cost of battery technology in the last decade, nowadays BESS becomes a more attractive solution in electrical power systems. The objective of this work is to analyze the potential utilization of BESS in the major European electricity markets. A general payoff model for BESS operation is proposed to correctly address the operational flexibility of battery systems. Utilization factors such as potentially profitable utilization time and rate are calculated for common applications including energy arbitrage and frequency support services using real market information. The result shows that under the current empirical estimation of the battery cost and lifetime, BESS is not feasible for energy arbitrage in most of the European electricity markets. However, BESS shows clearly and significantly higher potential in providing frequency support services. The result suggests that, when the frequency containment reserve is remunerable, the potentially profitable utilization of BESS has become already accretive in most of the European countries. For example from January to September 2021, the potentially profitable utilization rate has reached almost 100% for the FCR-N service in the Danish market. Comparing the regional electricity markets in Europe, BESS has shown significant potential in becoming a feasible solution in Central Western Europe and parts of Northern Europe by providing frequency regulation services. Meanwhile, in the British Isles and some other islanded local markets, a remarkable level of scarcity of flexibility has been revealed by the investigation, and the potential of BESS would also be considerably encouraging.

description: New experiments to measure neutrinos in the far-forward region at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are under design or already in preparation. Two of them, FASER$ν$ and SND@LHC, are expected to be active during Run 3 and have the potential to detect neutrinos that come from high-energy collisions in one of the LHC interaction points, extracted along the direction tangent to the beam line. Tau neutrinos and antineutrinos come predominantly from $D_s^\pm$ production in $pp$ collisions, followed by the leptonic decay of these mesons. Neutrino pseudorapidities in the range of $η>6.9$ and $η>8.9$ are relevant to these future experiments. At such pseudorapidities at high energies, theoretical predictions for the flux of tau neutrinos rely on parton distribution functions (PDFs) in a combination of very small and large parton$-x$ values. We evaluate PDF uncertainties in a next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculation of the flux of $ν_τ$ + $\barν_τ$ produced by $D_s^\pm$ decay in the far forward region at the LHC. The theoretical uncertainty associated with the 40 PDF sets of the PROSA19 group amounts to $\pm (20-30)$\% for the ($ν_τ$ + $\barν_τ$) number of charged-current (CC) events. Scale uncertainties are much larger, resulting in a range of CC event predictions from $\sim 70\%$ lower to $\sim 90\%$ higher than the central prediction. A comparison of the predictions with those obtained using as input the central PDFs from the 3-flavour NLO PDF sets of the CT14, ABMP16 and NNPDF3.1 collaborations show that far-forward neutrino energy distributions vary by as much as a factor of $\sim 2-4$ relative to the PROSA19 predictions at TeV neutrino energies. The Forward Physics Facility in the high luminosity LHC era will provide data capable of constraining NLO QCD evaluations with these PDF sets.

title: Lebenswege und wissenschaftliche Beiträge von Studentinnen der Studienrichtung Chemie an der Universität Wien 1937-1945
Creators: name: Gruber, Andreia Cezara
Year: 2020

description: Diese Diplomarbeit legt den Fokus auf die Lebenswege jener Chemiestudentinnen, die zwischen 1937 und 1945 an der Fakultät für Chemie promovierten. Für die Recherche sämtlicher Namen, den Promotionsdaten und den Dissertationen der Chemieabsolventinnen erwies sich ein Besuch im Universitätsarchiv als notwendig. Nach einer genaueren Erforschung der Rigorosen und Nationale aus dem Universitätsarchiv, hielt die Autorin für wichtig, auch die Lebenswege der vertriebenen Chemiestudentinnen zu untersuchen. Aufgrund des damaligen NS-Regimes, fand im März 1938 eine rasante Vertreibung jüdischer Student*innen von der Wiener Universität statt, was gleichzeitig das Schicksal von vielen Student*innen massiv veränderte. Die Autorin hielt diesen historischen Aspekt, sowie die Entwicklung des Frauenstudiums in den naturwissenschaftlichen Bereichen vom aktuellen Forschungsinteresse. Nach einer genauen Untersuchung der Rigorosenakte, der Nationale, sowie verschiedener anderen Datenbanken, wie: Yad Vashem, Monatshefte für Chemie, DOEW (Dokumentationsarchiv des österreichischen Widerstandes), Korotins Lexikon der österreichischen Frauen, Gedenkbuch für die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus an der Universität Wien, Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft, verschiedene Zeitungsartikel und Geschichtebücher ließen sich folgende Aspekte feststellen: Die Anzahl der Chemieabsolventinnen zwischen 1937 und 1935 liegt bei 37, wobei sehr viele davon auch noch nach dem Studiumabschluss in der Chemiebranche tätig waren. 41 Chemiestudentinnen mussten im März 1938 ihr Studium abbrechen, wobei nur acht davon bis zum Semesterende ihr Studium fortsetzen durften. 11 jüdische Chemiestudentinnen konnten ins Auslang emigrieren. Die höchste Anzahl an Chemiestudentinnen wurde im Sommersemester 1937 erreicht. Die Autorin beabsichtigte durch ihre Recherche das Hervorheben der wissenschaftlichen Beiträge von Chemieabsolventinnen des vergangenen Jahrhunderts. Die Arbeit lässt sich aber auch als ein kleiner Beitrag all jener Frauen zu gedenken, für die das Chemiestudium aufgrund des NS-Regimes verboten wurde.

description: We propose the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Lindbladian as a paradigmatic solvable model of dissipative many-body quantum chaos. It describes $N$ strongly coupled Majorana fermions with random all-to-all interactions, with unitary evolution given by a quartic Hamiltonian and the coupling to the environment described by $M$ quadratic jump operators, rendering the full Lindbladian quartic in the Majorana operators. Analytical progress is possible by developing a dynamical mean-field theory for the Liouvillian time evolution on the Keldysh contour. By disorder-averaging the interactions, we derive an (exact) effective action for two collective fields (Green's function and self-energy). In the large-$N$, large-$M$ limit, we obtain the saddle-point equations satisfied by the collective fields, which determine the typical timescales of the dissipative evolution, particularly, the spectral gap that rules the relaxation of the system to its steady state. We solve the saddle-point equations numerically and find that, for strong or intermediate dissipation, the system relaxes exponentially, with a spectral gap that can be computed analytically, while for weak dissipation, there are oscillatory corrections to the exponential relaxation. In this letter, we illustrate the feasibility of analytical calculations in strongly correlated dissipative quantum matter.

description: For decades, searches for exotic spin interactions have used increasingly-precise laboratory measurements to test various theoretical models of particle physics. However, most searches have focused on interaction length scales greater than 1 mm, corresponding to hypothetical boson masses less than 0.2 meV. Recently, quantum sensors based on Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have emerged as a promising platform to probe spin interactions at the micrometer scale, opening the door to explore new physics at this length scale. Here, we propose experiments to search for several hypothetical interactions between NV electron spins and moving masses. We focus on potential interactions involving the coupling of NV spin ensembles to both spin-polarized and unpolarized masses attached to vibrating mechanical oscillators. For each interaction, we estimate the sensitivity, identify optimal experimental conditions, and analyze potential systematic errors. Using multi-pulse quantum sensing protocols with NV spin ensembles to improve sensitivity, we project new constraints that are ~5 orders-of-magnitude improvement over previous constraints at the micrometer scale. We also identify a spin-polarized test mass, based on hyperpolarized 13C nuclear spins in a thin diamond membrane, which offers a favorable combination of high spin density and low stray magnetic fields. Our analysis is timely in light of a recent preprint (arXiv:2010.15667) reporting a surprising non-zero result of micrometer-scale spin-velocity interactions.
