description: Quasi-multipliers for a Hilbert C*-bimodule V were introduced by Brown, Mingo and Shen 1994 as a certain subset of the Banach bidual module V**. We give another (equivalent) definition of quasi-multipliers for Hilbert C*-bimodules using the centralizer approach and then show that quasi-multipliers are, in fact, universal (maximal) objects of a certain category. We also introduce quasi-multipliers for bimodules in Kasparov's sense and even for Banach bimodules over C*-algebras, provided these C*-algebras act non-degenerately. A topological picture of quasi-multipliers via the quasi-strict topology is given. Finally, we describe quasi-multipliers in two main situations: for the standard Hilbert bimodule l_2(A) and for bimodules of sections of Hilbert C*-bimodule bundles over locally compact spaces.

description: El objetivo de este trabajo es desarrollar un modelo econométrico que permita cuantificar el efecto multiplicador del subsector de hidrocarburos sobre indicadores de desarrollo social, económico y ambiental en municipios productores de petróleo y gas en Colombia. Para esto se construyó un modelo econométrico con datos tipo panel para el periodo comprendido entre 2004 y 2021 en el cual se analizó el efecto de las regalías, el nivel de producción y el precio de petróleo internacional sobre variables de categorías como educación, salud, saneamiento, pobreza, empleo y ambiental. Se encontraron resultados positivos significativos para la producción en la tasa de alfabetismo, el índice de pobreza multidimensional y la cobertura de acueducto. En cuanto al precio del petróleo internacional se encontró efecto positivo y significativo sobre todas las variables de pobreza además a de la tasa de alfabetismo, la asistencia escolar, la tasa de cobertura de acueducto REC y la tasa de mortalidad general. Para las regalías se encontró un efecto contrario al esperado. Se realizaron recomendaciones que le permitan a los actores de la industria robustecer el modelo propuesto para medir dicho efecto, así como trabajar en estrategias de arquitectura de datos y evaluaciones ex post de los proyectos de inversión obligatoria y voluntaria de las empresas del sector.

description: Bell's theorem shows that local realistic theories place strong restrictions on observable correlations between different systems, giving rise to Bell's inequality which can be violated in experiments using entangled quantum states. Bell's theorem is based on the assumptions of realism, locality, and the freedom to choose between measurement settings. In experimental tests, "loopholes" arise which allow observed violations to still be explained by local realistic theories. Violating Bell's inequality while simultaneously closing all such loopholes is one of the most significant still open challenges in fundamental physics today. In this paper, we present an experiment that violates Bell's inequality while simultaneously closing the locality loophole and addressing the freedom-of-choice loophole, also closing the latter within a reasonable set of assumptions. We also explain that the locality and freedom-of-choice loopholes can be closed only within non-determinism, i.e. in the context of stochastic local realism.

Magnetic and Thermal Phase Shifts in the Local Helioseismology of Sunspots

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Phase perturbations due to inclined surface magnetic field of active region strength are calculated numerically in quiet Sun and simple sunspot models in order to estimate and compare the direct and indirect (thermal) effects of the fields on helioseismic waves. It is found that the largest direct effects occur in highly inclined field characteristic of penumbrae, and scale roughly linearly with magnetic field strength. The combined effects of sunspot magnetic and thermal anomalies typically yield negative travel-time perturbations in penumbrae. Travel-time shifts in umbrae depend on details of how the thermal and density structure differs from the quiet Sun. The combined shifts are generally not well approximated by the sum of the thermal and magnetic effects applied separately, except at low field strengths of around 1 kG or less, or if the thermal shift is small. A useful rule-of-thumb appears to be that travel-time perturbations in umbrae are predominantly thermal, whereas in penumbrae they are mostly magnetic.

description: Many quantum photonic technologies require the efficient generation of entangled pairs of photons, but to date there have been few ways to produce them reliably. Sources based on parametric down conversion operate at very low efficiency per pulse due to the probabilistic generation process. Semiconductor quantum dots can emit single pairs of entangled photons deterministically but they fall short due to the extremely low-extraction efficiency. Strategies for extracting single photons from quantum dots, such as embedding them in narrowband optical cavities, are difficult to translate to entangled photons. Here, we build a broadband optical antenna with an extraction efficiency of 65% ± 4% and demonstrate a highly-efficient entangled-photon source by collecting strongly entangled photons (fidelity of 0.9) at a pair efficiency of 0.372 ± 0.002 per pulse. The high brightness achieved by our source represents a step forward in the development of optical quantum technologies.
Intellectual property, privatization of knowledge and the (vanished) university's autonomy

description: The contradictions afflicting the relationship between the human right to science and intellectual property ought to be investigated with reference to one of the most important centers of production and dissemination of scientific knowledge: the university.
 On the one hand, actions promoting open science inside the universities are increasing, on the other, privatization of knowledge in academic research is encouraged. Privatization of scientific knowledge growths along with the current research assessment system and intellectual property framework as well as with the pseudo-intellectual property regime, i.e., forms of exclusivity aimed at controlling data and infrastructures. This is particularly true in the European Union, as demonstrated, even during the pandemic era, by its firm intellectual property strategy for resilience and recovery. This twofold approach in policies regulating the relationship between science and intellectual property represents a critical contradiction if it is believed that universities should play a relevant, autonomous and independent role from politics and market. In other words, there is precisely ambiguity if one keeps distinct the spheres of public and private, and of the non-profit sector and the commercial sector. On the contrary, if it the university is seen as instrumental to political and commercial interests, there is instead a typical convergence: the privatization of basic research therefore represents the physiology of the relationship between university and business, and the boundaries between public and private, i.e., between university and business, are inevitably blurred. Indeed, the latter vision, which corresponds to the dominant idea of academic capitalism, materializes concrete risks for democracy, multiplying inequalities, fueling conflicts (even geopolitical ones), and even hindering the technological innovation itself. Two examples give an idea of the risks produced by the dominant vision: scientific publications and university patents in the biomedical field.

description: The iron arsenide Sr2CrO3FeAs with the tetragonal Sr2GaO3CuS-type structure was synthesized and its crystal structure re-determined by neutron powder diffraction. In contrast to previous X-ray crystallographic studies, a mixed occupancy of chromium and iron was found within the FeAs4/4 layer (93+/-1% Fe : 7+/-1% Cr). We suggest that the partial Cr-doping at the Fe site is the reason for the absence of a spin-density wave anomaly and superconductivity in this compound. Additional experiments via neutron polarization analysis revealed short-range spin correlations below ~100 K and long-range antiferromagnetic ordering below T_N = 36 K with a magnetic propagation vector of q = (1/2, 1/2, 0). The Cr3+ ions form a collinear magnetic structure of the C-type in the magnetic space group C_Pmma' (a' = a-b, b'=a+b, c'=c), where Cr3+-ions occupy the 4g (0, 1/4, z) Wyckoff position. The magnetic moments are aligned along the orthorhombic a'-axis. At 3.5 K, an ordered magnetic moment of 2.75+/-0.05 mu_B for the Cr3+-sublattice was refined.

title: Leather Product Design Canvas for Sustainable Development
Creators: name: Rehn, Jonas
Publisher: name: Hochschule Darmstadt
Year: 2021

description: The Leather Product Design Canvas makes use of a conceptual and graphical structure comprising content boxes and specific impulse questions to raise awareness and guide design processes. It aims at supporting the product development and design process of leather products to create more sustainable products. This shall be achieved by providing a quick and multi-perspective overview of relevant topics and considerations. One reason for this approach is that in many cases the designers of leather products such as shoes or bags do not necessarily need to be leather experts. Even interdisciplinary design teams might not include experts that understand both issues of sustainable development and material properties of this versatile material. Moreover, the complexity of the material leather and its various types of application would usually require a number of different experts to cover the most relevant topics related to sustainable development in order to identify possible rebound effects and systemic interdependencies of certain design decisions. The herewith presented canvas does by no means compensate for these expertise but aims at empowering design teams to take first steps towards more sustainable leather products based on a broadened scope while identifying knowledge gaps or the need for specific experts to be consulted or included in the design team.

description: The Teukolsky Master Equation is the basic tool for study of perturbations of the Kerr metric in linear approximation. It admits separation of variables, thus yielding the Teukolsky Radial Equation and the Teukolsky Angular Equation. We present here a unified description of all classes of exact solutions to these equations in terms of the confluent Heun functions. Large classes of new exact solutions are found and classified with respect to their characteristic properties. Special attention is paid to the polynomial solutions which are singular ones and introduce collimated one-way-running waves. It is shown that a proper linear combination of such solutions can present bounded one-way-running waves. This type of waves may be suitable as models of the observed astrophysical jets.

description: Self-assembly of two-dimensional patterned nanomembranes into three-dimensional micro-architectures has been considered a powerful approach for parallel and scalable manufacturing of the next generation of micro-electronic devices. However, the formation pathway towards the final geometry into which two-dimensional nanomembranes can transform depends on many available degrees of freedom and is plagued by structural inaccuracies. Especially for high-aspect-ratio nanomembranes, the potential energy landscape gives way to a manifold of complex pathways towards misassembly. Therefore, the self-assembly yield and device quality remain low and cannot compete with state-of-the art technologies. Here we present an alternative approach for the assembly of high-aspect-ratio nanomembranes into microelectronic devices with unprecedented control by remotely programming their assembly behavior under the influence of external magnetic fields. This form of magnetic Origami creates micro energy storage devices with excellent performance and high yield unleashing the full potential of magnetic field assisted assembly for on-chip manufacturing processes.

description: We consider searching for light sterile fermions and new forces by using long baseline oscillations of neutrinos and antineutrinos. A new light sterile state and/or a new force can lead to apparent CPT violation in muon neutrino and antineutrino oscillations. As an example, we present an economical model of neutrino masses containing a sterile neutrino. The potential from the Standard Model neutral current gives rise to a difference between the disappearance probabilities of neutrinos and antineutrinos, when mixing with a light sterile neutrino is considered. The addition of a B-L interaction adds coherently to the neutrino current potential and increases the difference between neutrino and antineutrino disappearance. We find that this model can improve the fit to the results of MINOS for both neutrinos and antineutrinos, without any CPT violation, and that the regions of parameter space which improve the fit are within experimental constraints.

description: Transient electron density maps of potassium dihydrogen phosphate(KH 2PO4, KDP) are derived from femtosecond x-ray powder diffraction patterns. Upon photoexcitation, the low-frequency TO soft mode is elongated impulsively and modulates the electronic charge distribution on the length scale of interatomic distances, much larger than the vibrational amplitude of the nuclear motion. The results demonstrate a charge transfer from the volumes around the P-atoms to those containing the O - H·· ·O units and a quadrupolar distortion of the K+ charge distribution. This behavior reflects the interplay of nuclear motions and electric polarizations in the ionic crystal lattice.

description: Battery health monitoring and prediction are critically important in the era of electric mobility with a huge impact on safety, sustainability, and economic aspects. Existing research often focuses on prediction accuracy but tends to neglect practical factors that may hinder the technology’s deployment in realworld applications. In this paper, we address these practical considerations and develop models based on the Bayesian neural network for predicting battery end-of-life. Our models use sensor data related to battery health and apply distributions, rather than single-point, for each parameter of the models. This allows the models to capture the inherent randomness and uncertainty of battery health, which leads to not only accurate predictions but also quantifiable uncertainty. We conducted an experimental study and demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed models, with a prediction error rate averaging 13.9%, and as low as 2.9% for certain tested batteries. Additionally, all predictions include quantifiable certainty, which improved by 66% from the initial to the mid-life stage of the battery. This research has practical values for battery technologies and contributes to accelerating the technology adoption in the industry.

description: β-stabilized Ti-alloys present several unexplored and intriguing surprises in relation to orthorhombic α″ phases. Among them are (i) the diffusion-controlled formation of transitional α″iso, α″lean and α″rich phases and ii) the highly anisotropic thermal expansion of martensitic α″. Using the prototypical Ti-Nb system, we demonstrate that the thermodynamic energy landscape reveals formation pathways for the diffusional forms of α″ and may lead to a stable β-phase miscibility gap. In this way, we derive temperature-composition criteria for the occurrence of α″iso and resolve reaction sequences during thermal cycling. Moreover, we show that the thermal expansion anisotropy of martensitic α″ gives rise to directions of zero thermal strain depending on Nb content. Utilizing this knowledge, we propose processing routes to achieve null linear expansion in α″ containing Ti-alloys. These concepts are expected to be transferable to other Ti-alloys and offer new avenues for their tailoring and technological exploitation.

Air pollution prediction using machine learning techniques – A concept to replace existing monitoring stations with virtual monitoring stations
Creators: name: Samad, Abdul
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Air pollution in the modern world is a matter of grave concern. Due to rapid expansion in commercial social, and economic aspects, the pollutant concentrations continue to increase and disrupt human life. Also, the pollutants are taking a toll on the entire biodiversity present on the earth. Thus, monitoring the pollutant levels is of primary importance to keep the pollutants under check. Regular monitoring enables the authorities to obtain insights into the pollutant concentrations and take the appropriate measures. However, pollutant concentration monitoring is not straightforward. This requires installing monitoring stations to collect the relevant pollutant data, which comes with high installation and maintenance costs. Also, many studies show that there is always insufficient monitoring and requires broader coverage. 

In this project, an attempt has been made to model the pollutants PM2.5, PM10, and NO2 measured by the monitoring stations in Marienplatz and Am Neckartor in Stuttgart, Germany using Machine Learning methods. Stuttgart city, in total, has six continuous monitoring stations operated by State Institute for the Environment (LUBW). Meteorological parameters, traffic data, and pollutant information from remaining monitoring stations were considered to model the pollutants. A total of five Machine learning methods, namely Ridge regressor, Support Vector regressor, Random Forest, Extra Tess Regressor, and Xtreme Gradient Boosting, were adopted. Several scenarios were explored to find a compelling set of input parameters to estimate pollutant concentrations. Further, it is shown that a similar methodology can also be applied to estimate pollutant concentrations at other locations. This procedure was tested on the monitoring station located in Karlsruhe-Nordwest, Germany. The results showed that this method could also be applied at other locations.

description: In this paper I present new methods for bias adjustment and statistical downscaling that are tailored to the requirements of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP). In comparison to their predecessors, the new methods allow for a more robust bias adjustment of extreme values, preserve trends more accurately across quantiles, and facilitate a clearer separation of bias adjustment and statistical downscaling. The new statistical downscaling method is stochastic and better at adjusting spatial variability than the old interpolation method. Improvements in bias adjustment and trend preservation are demonstrated in a cross-validation framework.

Ultraslow quantum dynamics in a sub-Ohmic heat bath

description: We show that the low-frequency modes of a sub-Ohmic bosonic heat bath generate an effective dynamical asymmetry for an intrinsically symmetric quantum spin -1/2. An initially fully polarized spin first decays towards a quasiequilibrium determined by the dynamical asymmetry, thereby showing coherent damped oscillations on the (fast) time scale of the spin splitting. On top of this, the dynamical asymmetry itself decays on an ultraslow time scale and vanishes asymptotically since the global equilibrium phase is symmetric. We quantitatively study the nature of the initial fast decay to the quasiequilibrium and discuss the features of ultraslow dynamics of the quasiequilibrium itself. The dynamical asymmetry is more pronounced for smaller values of the sub-Ohmic exponent and for lower temperatures, which emphasizes the quantum many-body nature of the effect. The symmetry breaking is related to the dynamic crossover between coherent and overdamped relaxation of the spin polarization and is not connected to the localization quantum phase transition. In addition to this delocalized phase, we identify a novel phase which is characterized by damped coherent oscillations in the localized phase. This allows for a sketch of the zero-temperature phase diagram of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model with four distinct phases.

description: Field experiments designed to reveal the effects of certain management practices and fertilizer applications on the nutritional status of highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) were conducted during the summer of 1967. The concentration of N and Ca in the leaf tissue of plants receiving general grower care are similar to Ballinger's estimated deficiency levels while that of Mn was very high. Mn levels were higher in plants growing on the highly decomposed peats. The application of N or NPK increased the concentration of these individual elements. Increases in N appeared to depress the uptake of Mg and encourage the utilization of P. Certain management practices improved nutrient utilization especially under the high fertilizer treatment regime. A negative correlation existed between N and growth ratings in 2 of the 3 experiments. There was no indication that herbicides reduced the uptake of nutrient elements. The leaf levels of the cations Mg, Ca and Mn all declined as the yield increased. Soil temperature and moisture levels were consistently greater in hoed and herbicide treated plots than in mowed plots.

description: The problem of inhibiting viral DNA ejection from bacteriophages by multivalent counterions, specifically Mg$^{+2}$ counterions, is studied. Experimentally, it is known that MgSO$_4$ salt has a strong and non-monotonic effect on the amount of DNA ejected. There exists an optimal concentration at which the minimum amount of DNA is ejected from the virus. At lower or higher concentrations, more DNA is ejected from the capsid. We propose that this phenomenon is the result of DNA overcharging by Mg$^{+2}$ multivalent counterions. As Mg$^{+2}$ concentration increases from zero, the net charge of DNA changes from negative to positive. The optimal inhibition corresponds to the Mg$^{+2}$ concentration where DNA is neutral. At lower/higher concentrations, DNA genome is charged. It prefers to be in solution to lower its electrostatic self-energy, which consequently leads to an increase in DNA ejection. By fitting our theory to available experimental data, the strength of DNA$-$DNA short range attraction energies, mediated by Mg$^{+2}$, is found to be $-$0.004 $k_BT$ per nucleotide base. This and other fitted parameters agree well with known values from other experiments and computer simulations. The parameters are also in aggreement qualitatively with values for tri- and tetra-valent counterions.

description: We suggest baryon-baryon correlations as an experimentally accessible signature for a first-order phase transition between a baryon-rich phase, like quarkyonic, and a baryon-suppressed hadronic phase in the QCD phase diagram. We examine the consequences of baryon-rich bubble formation in an expanding medium and show how the two-particle correlations vary in the transverse and longitudinal direction depending on the strength of the radial flow, the bubble temperature, and the time when the baryons are emitted.

description: This thesis examines the history of trans and gender diverse experiences in the Australian criminal legal system throughout the twentieth century and into the present day. By tracing the developments of trans and gender diverse history in relation to the criminal legal system in Australia across this broad period, this thesis explores the policing and regulation of gender in a range of forms and settings. It looks at the policing of gender nonconforming behaviour and presentation such as arrests of ‘masqueraders’ in the early decades of the twentieth century, policing of transgender sex work in Kings Cross and Darlinghurst from the 1970s, parliamentary debates in the 1980s around providing gender affirming care to transgender inmates, and modern trans and gender diverse policing and incarceration issues. Alongside these themes, this thesis traces the shifting discourses since the turn of the twentieth century around gender diversity – from narratives around so-called ‘sexual deviance’ to present-day debates over trans and gender diverse rights and inclusion. Throughout this period, understandings of what gender diversity is and what it means to be transgender have changed dramatically. However, the existence of gender diversity has consistently challenged assumptions and exposed flaws built into the criminal legal system. While these flaws do not only impact trans and gender diverse people, gender diversity provides a critical lens for interrogating many mechanisms of the criminal legal system to understand who they work for, and who they work against. By examining these shifts, this thesis aims to provide an overview of an under-researched aspect of Australian crime history and analyse the ways that the policing of gender is intertwined with the development of Australian trans and gender diverse history and the past and present mechanisms of the criminal legal system.
Pope's indignation

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Satire is the usual expression, in literature, of indignation. Being uncommonly well read, Pope was very familiar with the traditional literary expressions of indignation. There were two main branches to the literary tradition of indignation, the classical, which was the more important in Pope's case, and the Judaic-Christian. In the classical branch, the most noteworthy influences on Pope were Juvenal and Horace. In the Judaic-Christian branch, the Old Testament prophets such as Jeremiah were influential. From both branches, Pope inherited, and in many cases improved upon, the traditional methods of satire, such as monologue, parody, paradox, burlesque, topical references, and irony. Even while using the traditional methods, Pope was able to place his individual stamp upon his works. Besides the literary tradition to which he related, a second source of Pope's indignation was his personality as shaped by his experience. The main sources of indignation in Pope's life are discussed in this thesis, and examination shows that his letters accurately point to these sources of indignation. The same main causes of his indignation are also revealed in his literary works. Two conclusions are reached: that for Pope indignation was one of the well-springs of literary creation, and that Pope's expressions of indignation were sometimes transmuted into art.

description: A LDP is proved for the inviscid shell model of turbulence. As the viscosity coefficient converges to 0 and the noise intensity is multiplied by the square root of the viscosity, we prove that some shell models of turbulence with a multiplicative stochastic perturbation driven by a H-valued Brownian motion satisfy a LDP in C([0,T],V) for the topology of uniform convergence on [0,T], but where V is endowed with a topology weaker than the natural one. The initial condition has to belong to V and the proof is based on the weak convergence of a family of stochastic control equations. The rate function is described in terms of the solution to the inviscid equation.

description: We report a first of its kind functional cell surface display of nucleic acid polymerase and its directed evolution to efficiently incorporate 2′-O-methyl nucleotide triphosphates (2′-OMe-NTPs). In the development of polymerase cell surface display, two autotransporter proteins (Escherichia coli adhesin involved in diffuse adherence and Pseudomonas aeruginosa esterase A [EstA]) were employed to transport and anchor the 68-kDa Klenow fragment (KF) of E. coli DNA polymerase I on the surface of E. coli. The localization and function of the displayed KF were verified by analysis of cell outer membrane fractions, immunostaining, and fluorometric detection of synthesized DNA products. The EstA cell surface display system was applied to evolve KF for the incorporation of 2′-OMe-NTPs and a KF variant with a 50.7-fold increased ability to successively incorporate 2′-OMe-NTPs was discovered. Expanding the scope of cell-surface displayable proteins to the realm of polymerases provides a novel screening tool for tailoring polymerases to diverse application demands in a polymerase chain reaction and sequencing-based biotechnological and medical applications. Especially, cell surface display enables novel polymerase screening strategies in which the heat-lysis step is bypassed and thus allows the screening of mesophilic polymerases with broad application potentials ranging from diagnostics and DNA sequencing to replication of synthetic genetic polymers. © 2020 The Authors.
