description: Toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TKTD) modelling is essential to make sense of the time dependence of toxic effects, and to interpret and predict consequences of time-varying exposure. These advantages have been recognised in the regulatory arena, especially for environmental risk assessment (ERA) of pesticides, where time-varying exposure is the norm. We critically evaluate the link between the modelled variables in TKTD models and the observations from laboratory ecotoxicity tests. For the endpoint reproduction, this link is far from trivial. The relevant TKTD models for sub-lethal effects are based on Dynamic-Energy Budget (DEB) theory, which specifies a continuous investment flux into reproduction. In contrast, experimental tests score egg or offspring release by the mother. The link between model and data is particularly troublesome when a species reproduces in discrete clutches, and even more so when eggs are incubated in the mother's brood pouch (and release of neonates is scored in the test). This situation is quite common among aquatic invertebrates (e.g., cladocerans, amphipods, mysids), including many popular test species. We discuss these and other issues with reproduction data, reflect on their potential impact on DEB-TKTD analysis, and provide preliminary recommendations to correct them. Both modellers and users of model results need to be aware of these complications, as ignoring them could easily lead to unnecessary failure of DEB-TKTD models during calibration, or when validating them against independent data for other exposure scenarios.

description:
The 2020–2021 academic year brought numerous challenges to teachers across the country as they worked to educate students amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study is a secondary data analysis of qualitative responses collected as part of a teacher survey to evaluate a social emotional learning curriculum implemented during the 2020–2021 academic year. The lived experiences of teachers (N = 52) across 11 elementary schools in the Great Plains region were captured through open-ended questions as the teachers transitioned from in-person to remote learning. A phenomenological approach was utilized to analyze the challenges expressed by teachers as they faced instability and additional professional demands. Given that stress and other factors that strain mental health exist within multiple layers of an individual's social ecology, a modified social-ecological framework was used to organize the results and themes. Findings suggest that during the academic year, teachers experienced stressors related to their personal and professional roles, concerns for students’ well-being which extended beyond academics, and frustrations with administration and other institutional entities around COVID safety measures. Without adequate support and inclusion of teacher perspectives, job-related stress may lead to teacher shortages, deterioration of teacher mental health, and ultimately worse outcomes for students. Implications for policy, research, and practice are discussed.
The solutions to uncertainty problem of urban fractal dimension calculation

Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)

description: Fractal geometry provides a powerful tool for scale-free spatial analysis of cities, but the fractal dimension calculation results always depend on methods and scopes of study area. This phenomenon has been puzzling many researchers. This paper is devoted to discussing the problem of uncertainty of fractal dimension estimation and the potential solutions to it. Using regular fractals as archetypes, we can reveal the causes and effects of the diversity of fractal dimension estimation results by analogy. The main factors influencing fractal dimension values of cities include prefractal structure, multi-scaling fractal patterns, and self-affine fractal growth. The solution to the problem is to substitute the real fractal dimension values with comparable fractal dimensions. The main measures are as follows: First, select a proper method for a special fractal study. Second, define a proper study area for a city according to a study aim, or define comparable study areas for different cities. These suggestions may be helpful for the students who takes interest in or even have already participated in the studies of fractal cities.

description: Dense suspensions of particles are relevant to many applications and are a key platform for developing a fundamental physics of out-of-equilibrium systems. They present challenging flow properties, apparently turning from liquid to solid upon small changes in composition or, intriguingly, in the driving forces applied to them. The emergent physics close to the ubiquitous jamming transition (and to some extent the glass and gelation transitions) provides common principles with which to achieve a consistent interpretation of a vast set of phenomena reported in the literature. In light of this, we review the current state of understanding regarding the relation between the physics at the particle scale and the rheology at the macroscopic scale. We further show how this perspective opens new avenues for the development of continuum models for dense suspensions.

description: Single domain magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) interacting through dipolar interactions (DDI) in addition to the magnetocrystalline energy may present a low temperature ferromagnetic (SFM) or spin glass (SSG) phase according to the underlying structure and the degree of order of the assembly. We study, from Monte Carlo simulations in the framework of the effective one-spin or macrospin models, the case of a monodisperse assembly of single domain MNP fixed on the sites of a perfect lattice with fcc symmetry and randomly distributed easy axes. We limit ourselves to the case of a low anisotropy, namely the onset of the disappearance of the dipolar long-range ferromagnetic (FM) phase obtained in the absence of anisotropy due to the disorder introduced by the latter.

description: In this article we disprove the conjectures asserting the positivity of the coefficients of the Ehrhart polynomial of matroid polytopes by De Loera, Haws and Köppe (2007) and of generalized permutohedra by Castillo and Liu (2015). We prove constructively that for every $n\geq 19$ there exist connected matroids on $n$ elements that are not Ehrhart positive. Also, we prove that for every $k\geq 3$ there exist connected matroids of rank $k$ that are not Ehrhart positive. Our proofs rely on our previous results on the geometric interpretation of the operation of circuit-hyperplane relaxation and our formulas for the Ehrhart polynomials of hypersimplices and minimal matroids. This allows us to give a precise expression for the Ehrhart polynomials of all sparse paving matroids, a class of matroids which is conjectured to be predominant and which contains the counterexamples arising from our construction.

description: Among the transparent conducting oxides, the perovskite barium stannate is most promising for various electronic applications due to its outstanding carrier mobility achieved at room temperature. However, most of its important characteristics, such as band gaps, effective masses, and absorption edge, remain controversial. Here, we provide a fully consistent picture by combining state-of-the-art {\it ab initio} methodology with forefront electron energy-loss spectroscopy and optical absorption measurements. Valence electron energy-loss spectra, featuring signals originating from band gap transitions, are acquired on defect-free sample regions of a BaSnO$_{3}$ single crystal. These high-energy-resolution measurements are able to capture also very weak excitations below the optical gap, attributed to indirect transitions. By temperature-dependent optical absorption measurements, we assess band-gap renormalization effects induced by electron-phonon coupling. Overall, we find for the effective electronic mass, the direct and the indirect gap, the optical gap, as well as the absorption onsets and spectra, excellent agreement between both experimental techniques and the theoretical many-body results, supporting also the picture of a phonon-mediated mechanism where indirect transitions are activated by phonon-induced symmetry lowering. This work demonstrates a fruitful connection between different high-level theoretical and experimental methods for exploring the characteristics of advanced materials.
Nonlinear Tunable Vibrational Response in Hexagonal Boron Nitride

description: Nonlinear light-matter interactions in structured materials are the source of exciting properties and enable vanguard applications in photonics. However, the magnitude of nonlinear effects is generally small, thus requiring high optical intensities for their manifestation at the nanoscale. Here, we reveal a large nonlinear response of monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) in the mid-infrared phonon-polariton region, triggered by the strongly anharmonic potential associated with atomic vibrations in this material. We present robust first-principles theory predicting a threshold light field $\sim40\,$MV/m to produce order-unity effects in Kerr nonlinearities and harmonic generation, which are made possible by a combination of the long lifetimes exhibited by optical phonons and the strongly asymmetric landscape of the configuration energy in hBN. We further foresee polariton blockade at the few-quanta level in nanometer-sized structures. In addition, by mixing static and optical fields, the strong nonlinear response of monolayer hBN gives rise to substantial frequency shifts of optical phonon modes, exceeding their spectral width for in-plane DC fields that are attainable using lateral gating technology. We therefore predict a practical scheme for electrical tunability of the vibrational modes with potential interest in mid-infrared optoelectronics. The strong nonlinear response, low damping, and robustness of hBN polaritons set the stage for the development of applications in light modulation, sensing, and metrology, while triggering the search for intense vibrational nonlinear response in other ionic materials.

description: We give a construction of an affine Hecke algebra associated to any Coxeter group acting on an abelian variety by reflections; in the case of an affine Weyl group, the result is an elliptic analogue of the usual double affine Hecke algebra. As an application, we use a variant of the $\tilde{C}_n$ version of the construction to construct a flat noncommutative deformation of the $n$th symmetric power of any rational surface with a smooth anticanonical curve, and give a further construction which conjecturally is a corresponding deformation of the Hilbert scheme of points.

description: A/B testing, or online experiment is a standard business strategy to compare a new product with an old one in pharmaceutical, technological, and traditional industries. Major challenges arise in online experiments of two-sided marketplace platforms (e.g., Uber) where there is only one unit that receives a sequence of treatments over time. In those experiments, the treatment at a given time impacts current outcome as well as future outcomes. The aim of this article is to introduce a reinforcement learning framework for carrying A/B testing in these experiments, while characterizing the long-term treatment effects. Our proposed testing procedure allows for sequential monitoring and online updating. It is generally applicable to a variety of treatment designs in different industries. In addition, we systematically investigate the theoretical properties (e.g., size and power) of our testing procedure. Finally, we apply our framework to both simulated data and a real-world data example obtained from a technological company to illustrate its advantage over the current practice. A Python implementation of our test is available at https://github.com/callmespring/CausalRL. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: John Ford was born on Friday December 17 1919 at 84 Egerton Road, South Shields. In 1939, he enlisted in the Royal Engineers, Territorial Army, "Terriers" as he used to call them. On the 6th November 1939 whilst at Stokesley, Yorkshire doing basic training, he was with a group of men engaged in dismantling some old Nissen huts when an accident occurred. The wind caught one of the sections and blew it over. John was unable to jump out of the way in time and the section crushed his ankle, he was then put on"light duties" after this.He then joined the 2nd Tyneside Anti Aircraft Battery Searchlight Unit and operated searchlights to assist in the detection of enemy bombers who were bombing South Shields and Tyneside.In 1938, he started work at Vickers Armstrong in Newcastle and so was regarded as "Reserved Occupation. This meant that he was unable to join the army as his work at Vickers was considered vital to the war effort. He was working as a machine operator and worked on big lathes, making very large naval guns for warships.At Vickers, they introduced 12-hour shifts hoping to increase productivity but the time taken preparing to go to Newcastle and then over one hour to get to work meant for him that he was engaged in a 16-hour day! Because of this, people were falling asleep in the factory and he mentioned that some of his workmates fell asleep and fell into the huge rotating machines! So they had to abandon those long shifts because of all the injuries to essential workers.After the war, he received a small 20% pension which was regularly reduced and he had to challenge this to get it increased.After the war, he carried on being a machinist and died in 2014, aged 95.Audio and transcription attached.

description: With recent experiments investigating the optical properties of progressively smaller plasmonic particles, quantum effects become increasingly more relevant, requiring a microscopic description. Using the density matrix formalism we analyze the photo-excited few-electron dynamics of a small nanosphere. Following the standard derivation of the bulk plasmon we particularly aim on elucidating the role of the Coulomb interaction. Calculating the dielectric susceptibility spectrum in the linear optical response we find discrete resonances resulting from a collective response mediated by the Coulomb interaction between the electrons. In the nonlinear regime, the occupations of the system exhibit oscillations between the interacting eigenstates. Our approach provides an ideal platform to study and explain nonlinear and quantum plasmonics, revealing that the photo-excited dynamics of plasmonic nano spheres has similarities with and combines characteristics of both, the well-known two-level Rabi dynamics, and the collective many-electron behavior typical of plasmons.

description: Photon-mediated interactions between atomic systems can arise via coupling to a common electromagnetic mode or by quantum interference. Here, we probe the role of coherence in cooperative emission arising from two distant but indistinguishable solid-state emitters because of path erasure. The primary signature of cooperative emission, the emergence of "bunching" at zero delay in an intensity correlation experiment, is used to characterise the indistinguishability of the emitters, their dephasing, and the degree of correlation in the joint system that can be coherently controlled. In a stark departure from a pair of uncorrelated emitters, in Hong-Ou-Mandel type interference measurements we observe photon statistics from a pair of indistinguishable emitters resembling that of a weak coherent state from an attenuated laser. Our experiments establish techniques to control and characterize cooperative behavior between matter qubits using the full quantum optics toolbox, a key step toward realizing large-scale quantum photonic networks.

Capital flow constrained lot sizing problem with loss of goodwill and loan

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Computational Engineering, Finance, and Science (cs.CE)

description: We introduce capital flow constraints, loss of good will and loan to the lot sizing problem. Capital flow constraint is different from traditional capacity constraints: when a manufacturer launches production, its present capital should not be less than its present total production cost; otherwise, it must decrease production quantity or suspend production. Unsatisfied demand in one period may cause customer's demand to shrink in the next period considering loss of goodwill. Fixed loan can be adopted in the starting period for production. A mixed integer model for a deterministic single-item problem is constructed. Based on the analysis about the structure of optimal solutions, we approximate it to a traveling salesman problem, and divide it into sub-linear programming problems without integer variables. A forward recursive algorithm with heuristic adjustments is proposed to solve it. When unit variable production costs are equal and goodwill loss rate is zero, the algorithm can obtain optimal solutions. Under other situations, numerical comparisons with CPLEX 12.6.2 show our algorithm can reach optimal in most cases and has computation time advantage for large-size problems. Numerical tests also demonstrate that initial capital availability as well as loan interest rate can substantially affect the manufacturer's optimal lot sizing decisions.

A photo-induced AFM-FM transition characterized by an increase of the transient XMCDR beyond the unpumped value and a decay of RMXD was observed. The photon-energy dependence of the transient XMCDR and reflectivity can likely be interpreted as a concomitant photo-induced spinstate transition.

description: We consider the real eigenvalues of an $(N \times N)$ real elliptic Ginibre matrix whose entries are correlated through a non-Hermiticity parameter $τ_N\in [0,1]$. In the almost-Hermitian regime where $1-τ_N=Θ(N^{-1})$, we obtain the large-$N$ expansion of the mean and the variance of the number of the real eigenvalues. Furthermore, we derive the limiting empirical distributions of the real eigenvalues, which interpolate the Wigner semicircle law and the uniform distribution, the restriction of the elliptic law on the real axis. Our proofs are based on the skew-orthogonal polynomial representation of the correlation kernel due to Forrester and Nagao.

description: We present experimental observations of bimodal solitons in a solid state three-level maser cooled to millikelvin temperatures. The maser is built on a highly dilute $\textrm{Fe}^{3+}$ spin ensemble hosted by a high purity $\textrm{Al}_{2}\textrm{O}_{3}$ crystal constituting a high quality factor whispering-gallery-mode resonator. The maser is pumped through one of these modes, near 31 GHz, generating two signals near 12.04 GHz from two distinct modes, 8 MHz apart. The system demonstrates three regimes, namely, a continuous wave regime, a dense soliton regime and a sparse soliton regime. These results open new avenues for studying nonlinear wave phenomena using microwave systems as well as new applications of solitons in this part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

description: The super-weak force is a minimal, anomaly-free U(1) extension of the standard model (SM), designed to explain the origin of (i) neutrino masses and mixing matrix elements, (ii) dark matter, (iii) cosmic inflation, (iv) stabilization of the electroweak vacuum and (v) leptogenesis. We discuss the neutrino sector of this model in detail and study the allowed parameter space of the neutrino Yukawa matrices and mixing matrix elements. The model generates nonstandard neutrino interactions, whose allowed experimental limits are used to constrain the parameter space of the model. We provide benchmark points in the relevant parameter space that fall within the sensitivity region of the SHiP and MATHUSLA experiments.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

D2.2 - Report on the interoperability status of Copernicus services in light of EU regulations and Polar Data System Architecture (T2.4)
Creators: name: Takala, Matias
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: deliverable

description: The purpose of this document is to explore the interoperability of available COPERNICUS services (together with some supporting national level data services), establishing an overview of the machine interfaces (API) the Copernicus services provide, what type of datasets are included and their relevance for the Arctic Passion project and for the arctic dimension in general. For each service the APIs are listed and analysed using the FAIR (https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/) principles with special emphasis on the interoperability and conformance with European interoperability frameworks like INSPIRE. The outcome is that there are many COPERNICUS and national level services with hundreds of data sets already available. The impact potential of the available EO data is huge for the whole Arctic region.

While it varies from service to service, often the data is not even catalogued in a concise manner. Apparently, most of the most important data sets can be found in the main catalogue but there appear to be various sources of the data. Some of the data are behind legacy interfaces. The catalogues are not in general machine readable and searching for the data is not very easy. Human interaction is often required. The heterogeneity of the APIs in different services and the lack of applying unifying standards is the biggest challenge for integration of relevant Copernicus products in a unified catalogue and view. The WEkEO service gives access to many of the COPERNICUS services in a concentrated manner but even it doesn’t completely solve the issue. The WEkEO does provide a comprehensive list of the data available (OGC CSW) but provides a nonstandard interface for download. The Arctic Passion project should thus take an initiative to harmonize the APIs for different COPERNICUS and national level services.

description: Land Use Cover Change (LUCC) models simulate future geospatial projections of urban and rural areas by including physical, regulatory and transportation-related factors as important drivers of change. Different sources of uncertainty in LUCC modelling such as data inputs, model parameters, model structure and future scenarios have been widely researched in the past by evaluating output variability (i.e. uncertainty analysis) and quantifying the importance of specific uncertain factors (i.e. sensitivity analysis). These efforts focused mainly on reducing uncertainty and improving model accuracy and predictions, even though LUCC models are mainly stochastic (e.g. cellular automata models) and used for highly uncertain long-term projections. With a different perspective, Exploratory Modelling embraces uncertainty and does not try to predict the future, instead, takes a model as a device for simulating potential future scenarios.
This presentation shows how advances in uncertainty research can be used in LUCC models within an exploratory approach to better understand spatial planning options. Specifically, the main novelties of this piece of research are 1) the extension of Sobol indices, as a sensitivity analysis technique, to evaluate the influence of several uncertain factors including model parameters, planning decisions and the stochasticity of the model; 2) the use of scenario discovery techniques to develop sensitivity-informed uncertainty maps; and 3) the investigation of the potential of such model-based techniques for spatial planning. As a case study, we project future urban development scenarios in the Lausanne-Morges agglomeration, in Switzerland, in connection with major infrastructure development plans. We then generate a large ensemble of future scenarios and identify the most influential factors on urban development (i.e. Sobol indices) and the combination of factors that produce salient scenarios for the planning of the agglomeration (i.e. scenario discovery). This paper showcases the value of conducting spatially explicit exploratory modelling as the decision-relevant factors show important spatial variations.

description: Measurements of azimuthal angular correlations are presented for high-multiplicity pPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=$ 5.02 TeV and peripheral PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=$ 2.76 TeV. The data used in this work were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. Fourier coefficients as functions of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity are studied using the scalar product method, 4-, 6-, and 8-particle cumulants, and the Lee-Yang zeros technique. The influence of event plane decorrelation is evaluated using the scalar product method and found to account for most of the observed pseudorapidity dependence.
