description: Studying the stability of synchronization of coupled oscillators is one of the prominent topics in network science. However, in most cases, the computational cost of complex network analysis is challenging because they consist of a large number of nodes. This study includes overcoming this obstacle by presenting a method for reducing the dimension of a large-scale network, while keeping the complete region of stable synchronization unchanged. To this aim, the first and last non-zero eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of a large network are preserved using the eigen-decomposition method and Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization. The method is only applicable to undirected networks and the result is a weighted undirected network with smaller size. The reduction method is studied in a large-scale a small-world network of Sprott-B oscillators. The results show that the trend of the synchronization error is well maintained after node reduction for different coupling schemes.
Brans-Dicke-Maxwell Solutions for Higher Dimensional Static Cylindrical Symmetric Spacetime

description: In this paper, Brans-Dicke-Maxwell type vacuum solutions are considered for a static cylindrically symmetric spacetime in arbitrary dimensions. Exact solutions are obtained by directly solving the field equations for the case where an azimuthal magnetic field is present. Other configurations such as axial magnetic field case can be obtained by suitably relabeling the coordinates. We have also considered conformally related "Einstein frame" to relate the solutions we have obtained with the dilaton-Maxwell type solutions that exist in the literature. We see that for a special case the general solution we present reduces to Dilaton-Melvin spacetime. The General Relativistic limit of these solutions are also discussed and we found that this limit is different from the four dimensional case.

A Wide Temperature Range Unified Undoped Bulk Silicon Electron and Hole Mobility Model

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)

description: For decades, there is no unified model developed for Silicon carriers from 4K to above room temperature. In this paper, a unified undoped Silicon low field and high field mobility model for both electron in the <100> and <111> directions from 8K to 300K and 430K, respectively, and hole in the <100> direction from 6K to 430K is proposed and calibrated to the experiment. It is found that the Canali high field saturation model is sufficient to fit the <111> experimental data but not the <100> data due to the anisotropy-induced negative differential velocity. Therefore, a modified Farahmand model is used. To allow parameter interpolation in anisotropic simulation, the modified Farahmand model is also calibrated for the <111> direction. The model is then used to predict the mobility of electrons and holes in undoped Si at 4K, which can be served as the initial calibration parameters when reliable experimental data is available for the TCAD model development.

What can CMB observations tell us about the neutrino distribution function?

description: Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations have been used extensively to constrain key properties of neutrinos, such as their mass. However, these inferences are typically dependent on assumptions about the cosmological model, and in particular upon the distribution function of neutrinos in the early Universe. In this paper, we aim to assess the full extent to which CMB experiments are sensitive to the shape of the neutrino distribution. We demonstrate that Planck and CMB-S4-like experiments have no prospects for detecting particular features in the distribution function. Consequently, we take a general approach and marginalise completely over the form of the neutrino distribution to derive constraints on the relativistic and non-relativistic neutrino energy densities, characterised by $N_\mathrm{eff} = 3.0 \pm 0.4$ and $ρ_{ν,0}^{\rm NR} < 14 \, \mathrm{eV}\,\mathrm{cm}^{-3}$ at 95% CL, respectively. The fact that these are the only neutrino properties that CMB data can constrain has important implications for neutrino mass limits from cosmology. Specifically, in contrast to the $Λ$CDM case where CMB and BAO data tightly constrain the sum of neutrinos masses to be $\sum m_ν< 0.12 \, \mathrm{eV}$, we explicitly show that neutrino masses as large as $\sum m_ν\sim 3 \, \mathrm{eV}$ are perfectly consistent with this data. Importantly, for this to be the case, the neutrino number density should be suitably small such that the bound on $ρ_{ν,0}^\mathrm{NR} = \sum m_νn_{ν,0}$ is still satisfied. We conclude by giving an outlook on the opportunities that may arise from other complementary experimental probes, such as galaxy surveys, neutrino mass experiments and facilities designed to directly detect the cosmic neutrino background.

"Banger-ness" vs. "Bopo-city" - Teaching Conceptual and Operational Definitions Through Colloquialism Instructor Handout
Creators: name: Robinson, Jessica
name: Goodman, Sara
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: Psychological methodology, design and analysis

description: Students in research methods courses often struggle to understand and distinguish between conceptual and operational definitions. We offer an engaging active learning opportunity to help students make this distinction. This activity gives students the opportunity to practice developing both types of definitions using popular phrases or colloquialisms that are similar, but have nuanced differences. For example, the terms “banger” and “bop” are both used to describe a song in a positive manner (Richards, 2018). So what makes a song a banger? How is it different from a bop? Students are tasked with generating a conceptual definition for each term (e.g. a banger is a bass heavy dance tune that induces the urge to head bang. A bop is a melodic song that invokes feelings of joy.) Students then develop an operational definition based on their conceptualization. (e.g. how do we assess the banger-ness or bop-ocity of a given song?) Students are encouraged to generate their own definitions and work together to refine them. Engagement in this activity grows quickly as students debate and discuss the subtle distinctions between constructs, allowing the instructor to demonstrate the importance of accurate and specific definitions. Importantly, this activity can be used in classes of any size, setting (online, in-person), or schedule (synchronous, asynchronous), and can be driven by student-generated examples.
Mechanics of motility initiation and motility arrest in crawling cells

description: Motility initiation in crawling cells requires transformation of a symmetric state into a polarized state. In contrast, motility arrest is associated with re-symmetrization of the internal configuration of a cell. Experiments on keratocytes suggest that polarization is triggered by the increased contractility of motor proteins but the conditions of re-symmetrization remain unknown. In this paper we show that if adhesion with the extra-cellular substrate is sufficiently low, the progressive intensification of motor-induced contraction may be responsible for both transitions: from static (symmetric) to motile (polarized) at a lower contractility threshold and from motile (polarized) back to static (symmetric) at a higher contractility threshold. Our model of lamellipodial cell motility is based on a 1D projection of the complex intra-cellular dynamics on the direction of locomotion. In the interest of analytical transparency we also neglect active protrusion and view adhesion as passive. Despite the unavoidable oversimplifications associated with these assumptions, the model reproduces quantitatively the motility initiation pattern in fish keratocytes and reveals a crucial role played in cell motility by the nonlocal feedback between the mechanics and the transport of active agents. A prediction of the model that a crawling cell can stop and re-symmetrize when contractility increases sufficiently far beyond the motility initiation threshold still awaits experimental verification.
Susceptibilities for the Müller-Hartmann-Zitartz countable infinity of phase transitions on a Cayley tree

description: We obtain explicit susceptibilities for the countable infinity of phase transition temperatures of Müller-Hartmann-Zitartz on a Cayley tree. The susceptibilities are a product of the zeroth spin with the sum of an appropriate set of averages of spins on the outermost layer of the tree. A clear physical understanding for these strange phase transitions emerges naturally. In the thermodynamic limit, the susceptibilities tend to zero above the transition and to infinity below it.

description: Particle radiation from black holes has an observed emission power depending on the surface gravity $κ= c^4/(4GM)$ as \begin{equation}\nonumber P_{\textrm{black hole}} \sim \frac{\hbar κ^2}{6πc^2} = \frac{\hbar c^6}{96πG^2 M^2}\,,\end{equation} while both the radiation from accelerating particles and moving mirrors (accelerating boundaries) obey similar relativistic Larmor powers, \begin{equation}\nonumber P_{\textrm{electron}}= \frac{q^2α^2}{6πε_0 c^3}\,, \quad P_{\textrm{mirror}} =\frac{\hbar α^2}{6πc^2}\,, \end{equation} where $α$ is the Lorentz invariant proper acceleration. This equivalence between the Lorentz invariant powers suggests a close relation that could be used to understand black hole radiation. We show that an accelerating mirror with a prolonged metastable acceleration plateau can provide a unitary, thermal, energy-conserved analog model for black hole decay.

We focus on the behaviour of topological quantities across the deconfinement transition and investigate observables related to the $θ$ dependence of the free energy. As in $SU(N)$ gauge theories, an abrupt change happens at deconfinement and an instanton gas behaviour rapidly sets in for $T>T_c$.

description: Das vorgestellte Lehrkonzept wird im Rahmen der bildungswissenschaftlichen Praxissemestervorbereitung durchgeführt und steht dem Lehrkonzept zur informationsgestützten Auseinandersetzung mit pädagogischen Situationen inhaltlich voran. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Thematisierung individueller Voraussetzungen der Studierenden; darunter fallen persönliche Ziele für das Praxissemester, Vorstellungen zu Zielen des Praxissemesters allgemein, Vorstellungen zur Beziehung zwischen Theorie und Praxis und zur eigenen Professionalisierung sowie Einschätzungen zur Relevanz und zum Nutzen von Theorien. Grundlage dafür bildet die Annahme, dass diese Faktoren die Auseinandersetzung mit wissenschaftlichem Wissen und die Bearbeitung der Anforderungen im Praxissemester beeinflussen und moderieren. Das Lehrkonzept umfasst mehrere Phasen der Reflexion dieser Faktoren und entsprechende thematisch ausgerichtete Kurzvorträge, deren beständige Relationierung die Bereitschaft zur Auseinandersetzung mit und zur Nutzung von wissenschaftlichem Wissen erhöhen soll.

description: In dem vorgestellten Lehrkonzept wird durch die Auseinandersetzung mit realen pädagogischen Situationen ein Vorgehen zur informationsbasierten Reflexion für das Praxissemester eingeübt. Das Konzept schließt an den aktuellen Diskurs zur Evidenzorientierung sowie an das professionstheoretische Modell metareflexiver Lehrerbildung an. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit pädagogischen Situationen den (angehenden) Lehrkräften komplexe Fähigkeiten abverlangt, die u.a. die Wahrnehmung und das Verstehen einer Situation, die Informationssuche und -bewertung bildungs-wissenschaftlicher Theorien und Befunde, die argumentative und reflektierte Auseinandersetzung sowie das Ableiten alternativer Handlungen umfassen. Anhand eines Videofalls wird ein mehrschrittiger Reflexionsprozess eingeübt, der aus folgenden Elementen besteht: (1) die Beschreibung einer pädagogischen Situation, (2) die Erklärung der gewählten Situation anhand interner und externer Informationsquellen sowie (3) die Schlussfolgerung mit der Ableitung von Handlungsoptionen für die eigene professionelle Praxis. In der hier vorgestellten Form dient das Lehrkonzept als Trainingseinheit für praxissemesterbegleitende Reflexionsaufgaben in Form von Lerntagebüchern, die von den Studierenden verfasst werden und die sich auf selbst erlebte pädagogische Situationen an ihrer Praxissemesterschule beziehen.

description: Tungsten ditelluride has attracted intense research interest due to the recent discovery of its large unsaturated magnetoresistance up to 60 Tesla. Motivated by the presence of a small, sensitive Fermi surface of 5d electronic orbitals, we boost the electronic properties by applying a high pressure, and introduce superconductivity successfully. Superconductivity sharply appears at a pressure of 2.5 GPa, rapidly reaching a maximum critical temperature (Tc) of 7 K at around 16.8 GPa, followed by a monotonic decrease in Tc with increasing pressure, thereby exhibiting the typical dome-shaped superconducting phase. From theoretical calculations, we interpret the low-pressure region of the superconducting dome to an enrichment of the density of states at the Fermi level and attribute the high-pressure decrease in Tc to possible structural instability. Thus, Tungsten ditelluride may provide a new platform for our understanding of superconductivity phenomena in transition metal dichalcogenides.

The proton $(h_{11/2})^2$-alignment state is predicted as an $E\sim4.6$ MeV and $τ\sim 0.5~μ$s isomer with relatively strong E3 decay channels. The oblately deformed neutron $(h_{11/2})^{-2}$ alignment in the yrast band and four negative-parity bands are confirmed, even although two of these negative-parity bands favor the prolate deformation, which directly manifests the $γ$ unstability of $^{132}$Ba.

description: The isolated one-dimensional Heisenberg model with static random magnetic fields has become paradigmatic for the analysis of many-body localization. Here, we study the dynamics of this system initially prepared in a highly-excited nonstationary state. Our focus is on the probability for finding the initial state later in time, the so-called survival probability. Two distinct behaviors are identified before equilibration. At short times, the decay is very fast and equivalent to that of clean systems. It subsequently slows down and develops a powerlaw behavior with an exponent that coincides with the multifractal dimension of the eigenstates.

Energy Spectra vs. Element Abundances in Solar Energetic Particles and the Roles of Magnetic Reconnection and Shock Acceleration

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: We reexamine the relationship between energy spectral indices and element abundance enhancements in solar energetic particle (SEP) events at energies of a few MeV/amu. We find a correlated behavior only in the largest gradual SEP4 events when all ions are accelerated from the ambient coronal plasma by shock waves driven by fast, wide coronal mass ejections (CMEs). This correlated abundance behavior can track complex time variations in the spectral indices during an event. In other (SEP3) events, CME-driven shock waves, days apart, sample seed particles from a single pool of suprathermal impulsive ions contributed earlier. Of the smaller, Fe-rich, impulsive SEP events, previously related to magnetic reconnection in solar jets, over half are subsequently reaccelerated by CME-driven shock waves (SEP2) causing typical ion intensities to have a 64% correlation with shock speed. In these SEP2 events, onset of shock acceleration is signaled by a new component in the abundances, large proton excesses. The remaining SEP1 events lack evidence of shock acceleration. However, for all these events (SEP1 - SEP3) with abundances determined by magnetic reconnection, spectra and abundances are decoupled.

description: In diesem Beitrag wird beschrieben, wie Studierende der Fächer Biologie, Chemie und Sachunterricht Videoanalysen eigener geplanter Experimentiereinheiten im Vorbereitungsseminar zum Praxissemester durchgeführt haben. Dazu wurde ein existierendes Reflexionsschema modifiziert und eingesetzt, welches die Videoanalyse der Studierenden schrittweise unterstützte. Dieses Reflexionsformat leitet Studierende dazu an, anhand ausgewählter Videosequenzen auftretende Erschwernisse beim Experimentieren wahrzunehmen und zu identifizieren. Darauf folgen die Analyse der Situation und das Durchdenken, wie es zu den Schwierigkeiten gekommen sein könnte. Anschließend entwickeln die Studierenden mit Bezug zur Theorie Handlungsoptionen, um solche Eventualitäten zukünftig bereits bei der Planung von Experimentalunterricht zu antizipieren und, für einen reibungslosen Experimentierprozess, bestenfalls zu verhindern.

description: Gravitational waves from binary neutron star mergers can be used as alerts to enable prompt follow-up observations. In particular, capturing prompt electromagnetic and astroparticle emissions from the moment of a binary merger presents unique constraints on the time scale and sky localization for online gravitational wave detection. Here we present the expected performance of the SPIIR online detection pipeline that is designed for this purpose in the upcoming international LIGO-Virgo's 4th Science Run (O4). Using simulated Gaussian data for the two LIGO observatories with expected O4 sensitivity, we demonstrate that there is a non-negligible opportunity to deliver pre-merger warnings at least 10 s before the final plunge. These alerts are expected to be issued at a nominal rate of one binary neutron star coalescence per year and localized within a median searched area of 300 $deg^2$. We envision such a detection to be extremely useful for follow-up observatories with a large field of view such as the Murchison Widefield Array radio facility at Western Australia.

description: For a minimal $3$-fold $X$ with $K_X\equiv 0$ and a nef and big Weil divisor $L$ on $X$, we investigate the birational geometry inspired by $L$. We prove that $|mL|$ and $|K_X+mL|$ give birational maps for all $m\geq 17$. The result remains true under weaker assumption that $L$ is big and has no stable base components.

description: By detecting redshift drift in the spectra of Lyman-$α$ forest of distant quasars, Sandage-Loeb (SL) test directly measures the expansion of the universe, covering the "redshift desert" of $2 \lesssim z \lesssim5$. Thus this method is definitely an important supplement to the other geometric measurements and will play a crucial role in cosmological constraints. In this paper, we quantify the ability of SL test signal by a CODEX-like spectrograph for constraining interacting dark energy. Four typical interacting dark energy models are considered: (i) $Q=γHρ_c$, (ii) $Q=γHρ_{de}$, (iii) $Q=γH_0ρ_c$, and (iv) $Q=γH_0ρ_{de}$. The results show that for all the considered interacting dark energy models, relative to the current joint SN+BAO+CMB+$H_0$ observations, the constraints on $Ω_m$ and $H_0$ would be improved by about 60\% and 30--40\%, while the constraints on $w$ and $γ$ would be slightly improved, with a 30-yr observation of SL test. We also explore the impact of SL test on future joint geometric observations. In this analysis, we take the model with $Q=γHρ_c$ as an example, and simulate future SN and BAO data based on the space-based project WFIRST. We find that in the future geometric constraints, the redshift drift observations would help break the geometric degeneracies in a meaningful way, thus the measurement precisions of $Ω_m$, $H_0$, $w$, and $γ$ could be substantially improved using future probes.

description: A collaborative study was conducted in order to fully validate the performance characteristics and to evaluate the suitability of a method for determination of iodine in animal feed. The method consists of an alkaline extraction in tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) solution followed by the determination of iodine by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The method was validated for different types of feed and feed materials with a broad concentration range of 0.65–622 mg I/kg. Good agreement was found between the overall mean mass fraction values from the collaborative trial (13.8 ± 1.3 mg I/kg and 0.657 ± 0.228 mg I/kg) and the values previously determined in proficiency tests for two of the test materials (12.65 ± 2.47 mg I/kg and 0.72 ± 0.22 mg I/kg) indicating satisfactory accuracy of the method. Reproducibility standard deviations were between 7.85% and 34.65% and the HorRat values were under the acceptable limit of 2 so the between-laboratory precision was considered acceptable. Based on the statistical evaluation of the results it was concluded that the method is suitable for its intended purpose; it has been accepted as European Standard EN17050:2017 by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN).

description: This thesis is devoted to the measurement of the charged particle pseudorapidity density dNch/dη at midrapidity in Au-Au collisions at RHIC at 130 and 200 GeV using the Pad Chamber subsystem of the PHENIX detector. The charged particle multiplicity is an important observable to characterize Relativistic Heavy Ion collisions. These collisions are used as an experimental tool for the
 search of the phase transition from ordinary matter to the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), a new state of matter predicted by Quantum Chromodynamics lattice calculations. The charged particle multiplicity carries information about the geometry of the collision and
 the initial energy density in the system. It helps to understand the mechanisms of particle production and is a powerful tool to constrain theories.

description: The automobile industry is no longer relying on pure mechanical systems; instead, it benefits from advanced Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in order to provide new and complex functionalities in the effort to move toward fully connected cars. However, connected cars provide a dangerous playground for hackers. Vehicles are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks as they come equipped with more connected features and control systems. This situation may expose strategic assets in the automotive value chain. In this scenario, the Controller Area Network (CAN) is the most widely used communication protocol in the automotive domain. However, this protocol lacks encryption and authentication. Consequently, any malicious/hijacked node can cause catastrophic accidents and financial loss. Starting from the analysis of the vulnerability connected to the CAN communication protocol in the automotive domain, this paper proposes EXT-TAURUM P2T a new low-cost secure CAN-FD architecture for the automotive domain implementing secure communication among ECUs, a novel key provisioning strategy, intelligent throughput management, and hardware signature mechanisms. The proposed architecture has been implemented, resorting to a commercial Multi-Protocol Vehicle Interface module, and the obtained results experimentally demonstrate the approach's feasibility.

description: The problem of estimating subjective visual properties from image and video has attracted increasing interest. A subjective visual property is useful either on its own (e.g. image and video interestingness) or as an intermediate representation for visual recognition (e.g. a relative attribute). Due to its ambiguous nature, annotating the value of a subjective visual property for learning a prediction model is challenging. To make the annotation more reliable, recent studies employ crowdsourcing tools to collect pairwise comparison labels because human annotators are much better at ranking two images/videos (e.g. which one is more interesting) than giving an absolute value to each of them separately. However, using crowdsourced data also introduces outliers. Existing methods rely on majority voting to prune the annotation outliers/errors. They thus require large amount of pairwise labels to be collected. More importantly as a local outlier detection method, majority voting is ineffective in identifying outliers that can cause global ranking inconsistencies. In this paper, we propose a more principled way to identify annotation outliers by formulating the subjective visual property prediction task as a unified robust learning to rank problem, tackling both the outlier detection and learning to rank jointly. Differing from existing methods, the proposed method integrates local pairwise comparison labels together to minimise a cost that corresponds to global inconsistency of ranking order. This not only leads to better detection of annotation outliers but also enables learning with extremely sparse annotations. Extensive experiments on various benchmark datasets demonstrate that our new approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-arts alternatives.
