description: We study the interaction of vector mesons with the octet of stable baryons in the framework of the local hidden gauge formalism using a coupled channels unitary approach, including also the pseudoscalar-baryon channels which couple to the same quantum numbers. We examine the scattering amplitudes and their poles, which can be associated to known $J^P=1/2^-,3/2^-$ baryon resonances, and determine the role of the pseudoscalar-baryon channels, changing the width and eventually the mass of the resonances generated with only the basis of vector-baryon states.

description: The upgrade of the CMS experiment for the high luminosity operation of the LHC comprises the replacement of the current endcap calorimeter by a high granularity sampling calorimeter (HGCAL). The electromagnetic section of the HGCAL is based on silicon sensors interspersed between lead and copper (or copper tungsten) absorbers. The hadronic section uses layers of stainless steel as an absorbing medium and silicon sensors as an active medium in the regions of high radiation exposure, and scintillator tiles directly readout by silicon photomultipliers in the remaining regions. As part of the development of the detector and its readout electronic components, a section of a silicon-based HGCAL prototype detector along with a section of the CALICE AHCAL prototype was exposed to muons, electrons and charged pions in beam test experiments at the H2 beamline at the CERN SPS in October 2018. The AHCAL uses the same technology as foreseen for the HGCAL but with much finer longitudinal segmentation. The performance of the calorimeters in terms of energy response and resolution, longitudinal and transverse shower profiles is studied using negatively charged pions, and is compared to GEANT4 predictions. This is the first report summarizing results of hadronic showers measured by the HGCAL prototype using beam test data.

description: Character segmentation has long been one of the most critical areas of optical character recognition process. Through this operation, an image of a sequence of characters, which may be connected in some cases, is decomposed into sub-images of individual alphabetic symbols. In this paper, segmentation of cursive handwritten script of world's fourth popular language, Bengali, is considered. Unlike English script, Bengali handwritten characters and its components often encircle the main character, making the conventional segmentation methodologies inapplicable. Experimental results, using the proposed segmentation technique, on sample cursive handwritten data containing 218 ideal segmentation points show a success rate of 97.7%. Further feature-analysis on these segments may lead to actual recognition of handwritten cursive Bengali script.

description: Excerpts from the report: The Columbia River Basin area as used in this report occupies 176.3 million acres of land and water in the northwestern corner of the United States. It includes all of the State of Washington most of Oregon and Idaho, western Montana, and small parts of Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California. The streams of Oregon and Washington which flow directly into the Pacific Ocean or Puget Sound are also included. On the east the area is bounded by the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains, on the north by the Canadian border, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. On the south the boundary approximates the southern rim of the Snake River, Harney Basin, Rogue River, and Chetco River watersheds. Some 23 million acres of the Columbia River drainage in Canada are not covered in this report. To bring the area's agriculture resource development and conservation into proper balance and to coordinate such development with other planned resource utilization, the Department of Agriculture has prepared this Summary Report, Columbia River Basin Area Agricultural Program. The agricultural program report consists of three phases. It contains an inventory of the agricultural resources--forests, ranges, croplands, water and allied resources; it contains a review of the problems associated with the development, conservation and utilization of these resources; and it contains recommendations for a program of measures and practices designed to permit the maximum economic development consistent with proper conservation and utilization of the area's agricultural and allied resources.
description: The following agencies of the Department of Agriculture, as it was then organized, participated in the preparation of this program -- Agricultural Research Administration, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Extension Service, Farm Credit Administration, Farmers Home Administration, Forest Service, Production and Marketing Administration, Rural Electrification Administration, and Soil Conservation Service. Upon request by the Secretary of Agriculture, the University of Idaho, Montana State College, Oregon State College and the State College of Washington, through their Resource Development Council of the Pacific Northwest, Land Grant Institutions assigned a representative to assist in development of the program. A Field Committee was formed consisting of a representative of each of the above agencies and of the Council.
title: Lingua Franca Negotiations of Cultural Understandings to Build Friendships: Interrelating Intercultural Awareness and Pragmatic Strategies
Creators: name: Souza da Silva, Juliana
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2021

description: In this pandemic and historic season marked by international tensions, we are reminded of the growing relevance of further understanding intercultural communication mediated through English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). The negotiation of understandings through ELF intercultural communication has been studied substantially since the focus of ELF research turned from the investigation of features to the underlying processes involved in meaning-making (Jenkins, 2015). In the present study, I critically engaged with previous theoretical constructs of pragmatic strategies (Mauranen, 2003a, 2006; Cogo, 2009; Kaur, 2009; Mauranen, 2012; Cogo and Dewey, 2012; Cogo and House, 2018) and a model of intercultural awareness (ICA) (Baker, 2011, 2015, 2018) to take a step forward and investigate how the interplay of those two aspects impacts the unfolding of Negotiations of cultural understandings in ELF talk (Zhu, 2015). Using Conversation Analysis complemented by ethnographic tools, I analysed the conversations of two Londoner multilingual faith-based communities of practice (Wenger, 1998). Those communities were part of the same broader church community and had building friendships as their main ‘enterprise’. The participants’ super-diverse (Vertovec, 2007, 2019) linguistic and linguacultural repertoires (Risager, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012) led them into the Negotiation of situated meanings, constituted by their understandings of those topics. I examined the unfolding (beginning, middle and ending) of the Negotiations and, among other things, adapted the ICA model to describe a wider range of communicative practices. The findings revealed relevant patterns in the displays of ICA that affected how complexly the topics were treated. It also indicated that some pragmatic strategies had specific functions in the displays and responses to particular ICA levels. This investigation of naturally occurring conversations offered further insights into the processes of pre-empting, fine-tuning, and resolving culture-based mis-/non-understandings, with the potential to inspire future research that will inform ELF-aware pedagogies.

description: We analyze GALEX UV data for a system of four gravitationally-bound groups at z=0.37, SG1120, which is destined to merge into a Coma-mass cluster by z=0, to study how galaxy properties may change during cluster assembly. Of the 38 visually-classified S0 galaxies, with masses ranging from log(M_*)~10-11, we detect only one in the NUV channel, a strongly star-forming S0 that is the brightest UV source with a measured redshift placing it in SG1120. Stacking the undetected S0 galaxies (which generally lie on or near the optical red-sequence of SG1120) still results in no NUV/FUV detection (<2 sigma). Using our limit in the NUV band, we conclude that for a rapidly truncating star formation rate, star formation ceased *at least* ~0.1 to 0.7 Gyr ago, depending on the strength of the starburst prior to truncation. With an exponentially declining star-formation history over a range of time-scales, we rule out recent star-formation over a wide range of ages. We conclude that if S0 formation involves significant star formation, it occurred well before the groups were in this current pre-assembly phase. As such, it seems that S0 formation is even more likely to be predominantly occurring outside of the cluster environment.

description: We report the detection of two new planets from the Anglo-Australian Planet Search. These planets orbit two stars each previously known to host one planet. The new planet orbiting HD 142 has a period of 6005\pm427 days, and a minimum mass of 5.3M_Jup. HD142c is thus a new Jupiter analog: a gas-giant planet with a long period and low eccentricity (e = 0.21 \pm 0.07). The second planet in the HD 159868 system has a period of 352.3\pm1.3 days, and m sin i=0.73\pm0.05 M_Jup. In both of these systems, including the additional planets in the fitting process significantly reduced the eccentricity of the original planet. These systems are thus examples of how multiple-planet systems can masquerade as moderately eccentric single-planet systems.

description: To date, environmental flow strategies have predominantly been used in cases where a lack of available water has degraded the ecological quality and natural functioning of a river system. In this study, we used environmental flows on an urbanized watershed where flow volumes and flow rates have increased, and large (e.g. 100-year) event return periods become more frequent (∼10 years). Using an environmental flows strategy to model the amount of hydrological alteration, we assessed whether urban development and land cover changes have impacted the flow regime and the ecological health of this watershed. We reconstructed the flow regime at Lovers Creek (Barrie, Ontario, Canada) using three scenarios of urban development: a pre-settlement reference condition with 100% natural cover, mid-development with 6% urban cover and the current condition with 21% urban cover. We found that, in contrast to many other studies, increased urban cover has coincided with increased baseflow volumes, as well as increased volumes in other components of the flow regime. Of particular concern were the increased flow rate and volume of large events such as channel forming and riparian flows; an increased rate of change in event hydrographs, and a much shorter return period of large event storms (e.g. a 100-year event under reference conditions, is now a 10-year event in the current urbanized condition). In this watershed, restoration of flow to the reference condition is not practical; however, using improved stormwater management such as low-impact development technologies and green infrastructure may offset some of the alteration to the flow regime and mitigate future further alterations due to increased urbanization. As Lovers Creek has been identified as a critical coldwater stream habitat with brook trout, the results of this study are being used to assess changes in the ecological health due to increased urban cover, and to develop management strategies that assist in restoring a more natural flow regime in order to better protect both natural habitats and human infrastructure that are vulnerable to flooding caused by more frequent, increased volume flow events.

description: Turyn-type sequences, TT(n), are quadruples of {+,-1}-sequences (A;B;C;D), with lengths n,n,n,n-1 respectively, where the sum of the nonperiodic autocorrelation functions of A,B and twice that of C,D is a delta-function (i.e., vanishes everywhere except at 0). Turyn-type sequences TT(n) are known to exist for all even n not larger than 36. We introduce a definition of equivalence to construct a canonical form for TT(n) in general. By using this canonical form, we enumerate the equivalence classes of TT(n) for n up to and including 32. We also construct the first example of Turyn-type sequences TT(38).

Subjects: virtual machine tool, graphics construction, modular

description: In recent years, many parts are directly milled by using machine tools. In order to ensure accuracy and safety in processing, workpieces must be confirmed via simulation of virtual machine tools before machining. Therefore, it is very important to simulate before machining, and it also can be used as a teaching and training practices.

This study is to develop 3D simulation software of virtual machine tools by Borland C++ Builder. There are different types of virtual machine tools constructed in the program. In addition, we also develop the modular construction procedures for users to correctly create virtual machine tools using this simple graphical way. In the construction procedures, one can learn the concepts and operation of machine tools. The virtual machine tools can be completed according to the sequence of actions within the program. Applying the proposed graphics modular system to create virtual machine tools, it can improve inconvenience of original construction approaches and increase the applications of simulation software. Therefore, users can quickly know and learn the presented system in this thesis.

Neon Insights from Old Solar X-rays: a Plasma Temperature Dependence of the Coronal Neon Content
Creators: name: Drake, J. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: An analysis using modern atomic data of fluxes culled from the literature for O VIII and Ne IX lines observed in solar active regions by the P78 and Solar Maximum Mission satellites confirms that the coronal Ne/O abundance ratio varies by a factor of two or more, and finds an increase in Ne/O with increasing active region plasma temperature. The latter is reminiscent of evidence for increasing Ne/O with stellar activity in low-activity coronae that reaches a "neon saturation" in moderately active stars at approximately twice the historically accepted solar value of about 0.15 by number. We argue that neon saturation represents the underlying stellar photospheric compositions, and that low activity coronae, including that of the Sun, are generally depleted in neon. The implication would be that the solar Ne/O abundance ratio should be revised upward by a factor of about two to n(Ne)/n(O)~0.3. Diverse observations of neon in the local cosmos provide some support for such a revision. Neon would still be of some relevance for reconciling helioseismology with solar models computed using recently advocated chemical mixtures with lower metal content.

We present steady-sate self similar solutions for the dynamical structure of such a type of the accretion flows. Our solutions imply reduced thickness of the disc because of the self-gravity. It also imply that the thickness of the disc will increase by adding the magnetic field strength.

description: A key open issue for galaxy evolution and formation models is the understanding of the different mechanisms of galaxy assembly at various cosmic epochs. The aim of this study is to derive the global and spatially-resolved metal content in high-redshift galaxies. Using VLT/SINFONI IFU spectroscopy of a first sample of 50 galaxies at z~1.2 in the MASSIV survey, we are able to measure the Ha and [NII]6584 emission lines. Using the N2 ratio as a proxy for oxygen abundance in the interstellar medium, we measure the metallicity of the sample galaxies. We develop a tool to extract spectra in annular regions of these galaxies, leading to a spatially-resolved estimate of the oxygen abundance in each galaxy. We derive a metallicity gradient for 26 galaxies in our sample and discover a significant fraction of galaxies with a "positive" gradient. Using a simple chemical evolution model, we derive infall rates of pristine gas onto the disks. Seven galaxies display a positive gradient at a high confidence level. Four out of these are interacting and one is a chain galaxy. We suggest that interactions might be responsible for shallowing and even inverting the abundance gradient. We also identify two interesting correlations in our sample: a) galaxies with higher gas velocity dispersion have shallower/positive gradients; and b) metal-poor galaxies tend to show a positive gradient whereas metal-rich ones tend to show a negative one. This last observation can be explained by the infall of metal-poor gas into the center of the disks. We address the question of the origin of this infall under the influence of gas flows triggered by interactions and/or cold gas accretion.

description: Dissipative processes in physics are usually associated with non-unitary actions. However, the important resource of entanglement is not invariant under general unitary transformations, and is thus susceptible to unitary "dissipation". In this note we discuss both unitary and non-unitary dissipative processes, showing that the former is ultimately of value, since reversible, and enables the production of entanglement; while even in the presence of the latter, more conventional non-unitary and non-reversible, process there exist nonetheless invariant entangled states.

description: The use of fire by agricultural producers is a common practice that has been used since immemorial times in most countries of the world. The objective of this study was to diagnose the traditional uses of fire in the agricultural activities of the Convento parish, Chone canton, Manabí, Ecuador. The information that forms the diagnosis was obtained by applying a semi-structured survey with open and closed questions to 70 rural producers from the Gaspar site in the Convento parish during the months of October and November 2020. The statistical analysis was carried out with the SPSS program (Version 22.0). The results show that the use of fire in the locality is common and that the majority always burn in the same places. Although they proposed not to burn on specific dates, December was the month most frequently mentioned, with the average burned area being 1.82 ha. The most important purposes of the use of fire in the locality were the burning of agricultural crop residues and the clearing of land for sowing or planting. Building gaps around the area to be burned and to observing the speed and direction of the wind were the main prevention measures taken into account in the locality where fire is used. The perception of the producers about the negative effects caused by the fire could be described as very high, since all the respondents said that the fire damages the soil and the environment. The results can be used by decision makers in the field of fire management.

description: The nature of pulsar-like compact stars is still in controversy although the first pulsar was found more than 40 years ago. Generally speaking, conventional neutron stars and non-mainstream quark stars are two types of models to describe the inner structure of pulsars, with the former composed mainly of hadrons and the latter of a peculiar kind of matter whose state equation should be understood in the level of quarks rather than hadrons. To construct a more realistic model from both theoretical and observational points of view, we conjecture that pulsars could be "quark-cluster stars" which are composed of quark-clusters with almost equal numbers of up, down and strange quarks. Clustering quark matter could be the result of strong coupling between quarks inside realistic compact stars. The lightest quark clusters could be of H-dibaryons, while quark clusters could also be heavier with more quarks. Being essentially related to the non-perturbative quantum-chromo dynamics (QCD), the state of supra-nuclear condensed matter is really difficult to obtain strictly by only theoretical QCD-calculations, and we expect, nevertheless, that astrophysical observations could help us to have a final solution.

description: In this paper we study the steady state of the fluctuations of the surface for a model of surface growth with relaxation to any of its lower nearest neighbors (SRAM) [F. Family, J. Phys. A {\bf 19}, L441 (1986)] in scale free networks. It is known that for Euclidean lattices this model belongs to the same universality class as the model of surface relaxation to the minimum (SRM). For the SRM model, it was found that for scale free networks with broadness $λ$, the steady state of the fluctuations scales with the system size $N$ as a constant for $λ\geq 3$ and has a logarithmic divergence for $λ< 3$ [Pastore y Piontti {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 76}, 046117 (2007)]. It was also shown [La Rocca {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 77}, 046120 (2008)] that this logarithmic divergence is due to non-linear terms that arises from the topology of the network. In this paper we show that the fluctuations for the SRAM model scale as in the SRM model. We also derive analytically the evolution equation for this model for any kind of complex graphs and find that, as in the SRM model, non-linear terms appear due to the heterogeneity and the lack of symmetry of the network. In spite of that, the two models have the same scaling, but the SRM model is more efficient to synchronize systems.

description: Excerpts from the report: The South Coast Drainage Basin of Oregon includes all coastal watersheds between the Umpqua River and the California state line except the Rogue River watershed. The basin has an area of 2,985 square miles, which is 3.1 percent of the area of the State of Oregon, and it includes portions of the Southern Coast Range and Klamath Mountains physiographic areas. The topography is characterized by a relatively narrow coastal plain and by narrow alluvial valleys extending into a mountainous interior. Approximately 58 percent of the basin is privately owned and 42 percent is publicly owned. About 89 percent of the basin is forested land; 4 percent is rangeland; 3 percent is cropland; and 4 percent is devoted to other uses. For the purpose of this report, the South Coast Basin is divided into four subbasins. Subbasin 1, 2, and 3, the Sixes, Coquille, and Coos Subbasins, respectively, are north of the Rogue River Basin while subbasin 4, the Chetco Subbasin, is between the Rogue River Basin and the California state line. This report presents information concerning the water and related land resources of the South Coast Drainage Basin and is the result of a cooperative study by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the State Water Resources Board of Oregon. The broad objectives of the cooperative survey were to gather basic data and information pertinent to the use and control of water for agriculture in the area, to highlight such major water related problems as erosion, flood prevention, and drainage, and to outline a general program for water and related land resource management to be used as a background for future detailed study and planning.

description: As a prototype of a disordered superconductor we consider the attractive Hubbard model with on-site disorder. We solve the Bogoljubov-de-Gennes equations on two-dimensional finite clusters at zero temperature and evaluate the electromagnetic response to a vector potential. We find that the standard decoupling between transverse and longitudinal response does not apply in the presence of disorder. Moreover the superfluid density is strongly reduced by the relaxation of the phase of the order parameter already at mean-field level when disorder is large. We also find that the anharmonicity of the phase fluctuations is strongly enhanced by disorder. Beyond mean-field, this provides an enhancement of quantum fluctuations inducing a zero-temperature transition to a non-superconducting phase of disordered preformed pairs. Finally, the connection of our findings with the glassy physics for extreme dirty superconductors is discussed.

description: A review of the literature on transsexualism reveals a lack of systematic research on self perception. The present study was directed toward ascertaining whether selected gender and evaluative aspects of self perception could be established as correlates of particular gender 'identity/role' constellations. A self concept system model for understanding gender identity in terms of relationships with specific referents was proposed. Gender-related aspects of self perception were examined for 48 male and female subjects, representing transsexual, homosexual, and heterosexual psychosexual orientations. Measuring instruments consisted of IacKenzie's Diagnostic Criteria Scales, the Bern Sex Role Inventory, the Maf err Inventories of masculine and Feminine Values, the Derogatis Sexual Functioning Inventory, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Repertory Grid Technique. Stepwise multiple discriminant analyses were conducted on the 30 construct variables and on the 7 behaviour variables derived from these instruments. •Results were examined with respect to the obtained discrimination of subject groups on the basis of selected variables. Findings indicated that reasonable discrimination between transsexual, nontranssexual male, and nontranssexual female groupings of subjects could be achieved on the basisof ten discriminating construct variables, and to a lesser extent on the basis of four discriminating behaviour variables. The nature of construct discriminations suggested that transsexuals conceive maleness and femaleness differently than do nontranssexual males and females. The implications of these results were discussed with particular focus on conceptualizations of gender identity. Consideration was directed toward seeking clarity and consensus of gender identity referents.

description: To systematically review longitudinal studies on the association between cluster of/multiple health-related behaviors and tooth loss among adults. Inclusion criteria were prospective and retrospective longitudinal studies; adults; multiple or cluster of behaviors; tooth loss, one or more tooth lost and complete tooth loss. Exclusion criteria were intervention studies; cross-sectional studies; case-control studies; children under 18 years-old; single behavior. Two reviewers searched three databases up to April 2023. Open Grey and Google Scholar were searched for grey literature. Twelve longitudinal studies were included in this review. Nine studies had good quality, two had poor quality, and one had fair quality according to New-Castle-Ottawa Scale. According to ROBINS-E tool, nine studies were judged as moderate risk of bias while two studies were at low risk of bias and one study had serious risk of bias. One study assessed cluster of behavior, while others examined a number of separate health-related behaviors in relation to tooth loss. Meta-analysis was not feasible because of the high heterogeneity in exposure, measure of outcomes, covariates, sample size, and follow-up time. The research found an association between tooth loss and oral hygiene practices (two studies), dental attendance (four studies), smoking (six studies), and alcohol consumption (three studies). This review provides evidence of a longitudinal association between cluster of/multiple health related-behaviors and tooth loss.

description: An automated, rapid classification of transient events detected in the modern synoptic sky surveys is essential for their scientific utility and effective follow-up using scarce resources. This problem will grow by orders of magnitude with the next generation of surveys. We are exploring a variety of novel automated classification techniques, mostly Bayesian, to respond to these challenges, using the ongoing CRTS sky survey as a testbed. We describe briefly some of the methods used.

A Short History of Self-Representation in Digital Art
Creators: name: Sauerlaender, Tina
Publisher: name: International Journal for Digital Art History
Year: 2020

description: This article examines the lesser-known history of artistic self-representation in digital art, from the beginning of computer art to the present day. The genre has thematic as well as formal diversity: it is a product of artists working with electronic devices such as video synthesizers or digitizers, webcams, digital image and video editing tools, the internet, avatars, and social media platforms. Artistic self-representation in computer-based and digital art has been an underrepresented topic in art history and must be more closely studied in order to be integrated into the art historical canon. This article aims to give an overview of artistic self-representation in digital art from early computer art until today.

description: Very often traditional approaches studying dynamics of self-similarity processes are not able to give their quantitative characteristics at infinity and, as a consequence, use limits to overcome this difficulty. For example, it is well know that the limit area of Sierpinski's carpet and volume of Menger's sponge are equal to zero. It is shown in this paper that recently introduced infinite and infinitesimal numbers allow us to use exact expressions instead of limits and to calculate exact infinitesimal values of areas and volumes at various points at infinity even if the chosen moment of the observation is infinitely faraway on the time axis from the starting point. It is interesting that traditional results that can be obtained without the usage of infinite and infinitesimal numbers can be produced just as finite approximations of the new ones.

description: This study will allow us to refine the development of key components of the health messages lab and gain new knowledge about the effects of alternative formats to communicate uncertainty on participants beliefs, decisions, and behaviours. The objectives of the randomized trial are: To compare the effects of three ways of communicating the overall uncertainty of the effects of wearing glasses to reduce the chance of getting COVID and To compare the effects of including the margin of error (confidence interval) compared to not including it. The primary outcome for all 6 summary versions tested is understanding of the uncertainty. For the 3 summary versions that include the margin of error (compared to those that do not), there is an additional co-primary outcome, assessing understanding of statistical uncertainty (i.e., precision of the effect estimates).
