description: We verify the extraordinary transmission enhancement and collimation induced by the material loss in anisotropic near-zero permittivity (ENZ) metamaterials, and reveal the physical mechanism of this exotic electromagnetic phenomenon via the iso-frequency contour (IFC) analysis. In addition, we demonstrate the possibility in realization of such loss enhanced transmission of Gaussian beam in realistic silver-germanium multilayered structures by applying full-wave numerical simulations.

description: High-quality KFe2As2 (K122) single crystals synthesized by different techniques have been studied by magnetization and specific heat (SH) measurements. There are 2 types of samples both affected by disordered magnetic phases: (i) cluster-glass (CG) like or (ii) Griffiths phase (G) like. For (i) at low applied magnetic fields the T-dependence of the zero field cooled (ZFC) linear susceptibility (chi_l) exhibits an anomaly with an irreversible behavior in ZFC and field cooled (FC) data. This anomaly is related to the freezing temperature T_f. The extrapolated T_f to B=0 varies between 50 K and 90 K. Below T_f we observed a magnetic hysteresis in the field dependence of the isothermal magnetization (M(B)). The frequency shift of the freezing temperature delta T_f=Delta T_f/[T_fΔ(\ln ν)]\sim 0.05$ has an intermediate value, which provides evidence for the formation of a CG-like state in the K122 samples of type (i). The frequency dependence of their T_f follows a conventional power-law divergence of critical slowing down: tau=tau_0 [T_f(nu)/T_f(0)-1]^{-zν^{'}} with the critical exponent zν^{'}=10(2) and a relatively long characteristic time constant tau_0 =6.9 x10^{-11}$s also supporting a CG behavior. The large value of the Sommerfeld coefficient was related to magnetic contribution from a CG. Samples from (ii) did not show a hysteresis behavior for chi_l(T) and M(B). Below a crossover temperature T^* sim 40 K a power-law dependence in the chi_l propto T^[lambda_G-1}], with a non-universal lambda_G was observed, suggesting a quantum G-like behavior. In this case chi_l and M(B) can be scaled using the scaling function M_s(T,B)= B^{1-λ_{\tiny G}}Y(mu B/k_BT) with the scaling moment mu of the order of 3.5mu_b. The same non-universal exponent was found also in SH measurements, where the magnetic contribution C/T propto T^(lambda_G-1).

Measurement of the strong coupling alpha_S in e+e- annihilation using the three-jet rate

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We present a measurement of the strong coupling alpha_S using data collected with the JADE detector at centre-of-mass energies between 14 and 44 GeV. The three-jet rate as a function of the transition parameter ycut is determined using the Durham jet algorithm and the distribution is compared to QCD predictions. Recent theoretical calculations predict the three-jet rate at next-to-next-to-leading order. For the first time a measurement of alpha_S is presented using QCD predictions at next-to-next-to-leading order matched to predictions at next-to-leading logarithmic approximation, with subleading terms being included as well. We obtain alpha_S(Mz)=0.1199+-0.0010(stat.)+-0.0021(exp.)+-0.0054(had.)+-0.0007(theo.) being consistent with the world average value of alpha_S.

description: Robots should offer a human-like level of dexterity when handling objects if humans are to be replaced in dangerous and uncertain working environments. This level of dexterity for human-like manipulation must come from both the hardware, and the control. Exact replication of human-like degrees of freedom in mobility for anthropomorphic robotic hands are seen in bulky, costly, fully actuated solutions, while machine learning to apply some level of human-like dexterity in underacted solutions is unable to be applied to a various array of objects. This thesis presents experimental and theoretical contributions of a novel neuro-fuzzy control method for dextrous human grasping based on grasp synergies using a Human Computer Interface glove and upgraded haptic-enabled anthropomorphic Ring Ada dexterous robotic hand. Experimental results proved the efficiency of the proposed Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems to grasp objects with high levels of accuracy.

description: Analysis of live-cell imaging experiments at the resolution of single cells provides exciting insights into the inner workings of biological systems. Advances in biological imaging and computer vision allow for segmentation of natural images with a high degree of accuracy. However, automation of the segmentation pipeline at the single cell resolution remains a challenging task. Complex deep learning models require large, well-annotated datasets that are rarely available in biology. In this research, we explore various methods that optimize state of the art deep learning frameworks, despite limited resources. We trained a large permutation of models to quantify their capacity and to measure the effects of temporal information, spatial awareness and transfer learning on model performance. We find that, although training set size is most impactful in improving model accuracy, we can leverage techniques like spatial awareness and transfer learning to compromise for the lack of data. These insights show that, with an abundance of data, light-weight models can be as performant as their heavy-weight counterparts in cellular analysis.

description: This paper focuses on three contributions. First, a connection between the result, proposed by Stoica and Babu, and the recent information theoretic results, the worst additive noise lemma and the isoperimetric inequality for entropies, is illustrated. Second, information theoretic and estimation theoretic justifications for the fact that the Gaussian assumption leads to the largest Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) is presented. Third, a slight extension of this result to the more general framework of correlated observations is shown.

Publisher: name: Journal of Sociotechnical Critique

description: We argue that information literacy instruction that aims at developing students’ critical thinking habits should address how safeguards in the information cycle fail. We argue that such “short circuits” in the information cycle can be best engaged with at a “middle distance”—not so distant from students’ lived experience that they seem irrelevant, but not so close that students can’t gain a critical distance—and illustrate this framework with three such cases that concern moral panics about new technologies. We hold that instruction using this framework will help learners critically assess sources while retaining a strong but realistic appreciation for procedural supports for epistemic responsibility like peer review and balanced journalism.

description: We investigate the equilibration and thermalization properties of quantum systems interacting with a finite dimensional environment. By exploiting the concept of time averaged states, we introduce a completely positive map which allows to describe in a quantitative way the dependence of the equilibrium state on the initial condition. Our results show that the thermalization of quantum systems is favored if the dynamics induces small system-environment correlations, as well as small changes in the environment, as measured by the trace distance.

Examples are used to demonstrate and relate the oblique basis in nuclear physics to the equivalent mathematical problems in vibration theory. The mathematical techniques, such as principal coordinates and root locus, used by vibration and control theory engineers are shown to be relevant to the Richardson - Gaudin pairing-like problems in nuclear physics.

description: Many non-relativistic Quantum Field Theories with conserved particle number share a common set of symmetries: time dependent spatial diffeomorphisms acting on the background metric and U(1) invariance acting on the background fields which couple to particle number. Here we use these symmetries to deduce a gravity dual for any such theory in terms of a non-relativistic theory of gravity, a variant of Horava gravity. This duality allows the extension of holography to generic non-relativistic field theories. As Horava gravity is presumed to be a consistent quantum theory, this duality also allows holography to move beyond the limit of a large number of colors, in principle. In the case when the field theory is conformally invariant, we prove that our proposal reproduces the form of the two point function demanded by this symmetry.

title: The Paleomagnetism of the Stewart’s Point and Anchor Bay Members of the Point Arena Terrane, Northern California
Creators: name: Heim, Kirk
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2004

description:
Paleomagnetic investigation of Upper Cretaceous sedimentary strata of the Point Arena terrane has shown the rocks to be remagnetized. The study was initially intended to reconstruct the Cretaceous paleogeography of the Point Arena terrane and resolve conflicting translation estimates, but became one of remagnetization. Samples studied are from the Upper Cretaceous Stewart’s Point member and the Late Cretaceous Anchor Bay Member of the Gualala formation. Specimens surviving the remagnetization have a mean second-removed direction that indicates approximately 20 degrees vertical rotation from the expected direction of the Cretaceous magnetic field at the locality of the Point Arena terrane. The loss of original magnetization is most likely the result of a ChRM (chemical remanent magnetization) caused by orogenic fluid circulation. Reheating as the remagnetization mechanism can be ruled out by total lack of metamorphism. The paleomagnetic results of this study confirm a complex tectonic history for the Point Arena terrane. Once the nature and timing of the remagnetization events are better understood a more complete tectonic history can be determined.

description: We present a X-ray spectral analysis of a large sample of 25 'bare' active galactic nuclei, sources with little or no complicating intrinsic absorption, observed with Suzaku. Our work focuses on studying the potential contribution from relativistic disc reflection, and examining the implications of this interpretation for the intrinsic spectral complexities frequently displayed by AGN in the X-ray bandpass. During the analysis, we take the unique approach of attempting to simultaneously undertake a systematic analysis of the whole sample, as well as a detailed treatment of each individual source, and find that disc reflection has the required flexibility to successfully reproduce the broadband spectrum observed for all of the sources considered. Where possible, we use the reflected emission to place constraints on the black hole spin for this sample of sources. Our analysis suggests a general preference for rapidly rotating black holes, which if taken at face value is most consistent with the scenario in which SMBH growth is dominated by prolonged, ordered accretion. However, there may be observational biases towards AGN with high spin in the compiled sample, limiting our ability to draw strong conclusions for the general population at this stage. Finally, contrary to popular belief, our analysis also implies that the dichotomy between radio loud/radio quiet AGN is not solely related to black hole spin.

description: In order to effectively investigate the current situation of biology teachers in Southern Henan, this study used the method of interviews and questionnaires to investigate and analyze the current situation of biology teachers in Southern Henan from their living status and professional development. The survey results show that: (1) The overall satisfaction of biology special post teachers in southern Henan is general, the office conditions can meet the teaching needs, the salary and housing conditions need to be improved, and the spare-time and family life needs of biology special post teachers attract attention; (2) Professional development is generally satisfactory. Specialized biology teachers in Southern Henan are willing to participate in educational and teaching reform, but their participation in teaching and research activities needs to be further strengthened. Specialized biology teachers have a large workload and high labor intensity. In view of the above findings, this paper puts forward some countermeasures for the development of biology special post teachers in Southern Henan, with a view to providing theoretical reference for the follow-up research on biology special post teachers, as well as providing important information for improving the living status of specialty post teachers, promoting professional development and improving the quality of education and teaching.

description: Bioconversion of waste animal fat (WAF) to polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) is an approach to lower the production costs of these plastic alternatives. However, the solid nature of WAF requires a tailor-made process development. In this study, a double-jacket feeding system was built to thermally liquefy the WAF to employ a continuous feeding strategy. During laboratory-scale cultivations with Ralstonia eutropha Re2058/pCB113, 70% more PHA (45 gPHA L−1) and a 75% higher space–time yield (0.63 gPHA L−1 h−1) were achieved compared to previously reported fermentations with solid WAF. During the development process, growth and PHA formation were monitored in real-time by in-line photon density wave spectroscopy. The process robustness was further evaluated during scale-down fermentations employing an oscillating aeration, which did not alter the PHA yield although cells encountered periods of oxygen limitation. Flow cytometry with propidium iodide staining showed that more than two-thirds of the cells were viable at the end of the cultivation and viability was even little higher in the scale-down cultivations. Application of this feeding system at 150-L pilot-scale cultivation yielded in 31.5 gPHA L−1, which is a promising result for the further scale-up to industrial scale.
Surveillance and Social Control of the Body: Digitalization and Implications for People with Disabilities in China

Subjects: subject: surveillance

description: This project examines the intersection of surveillance studies, international relations, and disability studies to trace the impact of digitalization on surveillance systems in China. In exploring the development and transformation of surveillance practices, I trace the state’s construction of “key personnel'' (重点人员), depicting people with mental illnesses as dangerous and violent to justify greater social management (社会管理) and exertion of “kindly power.” Drawing on policy documents, newspaper articles, and archival research, I offer an account of how the digitalization of surveillance systems in China has transformed the surveillance of people with mental illnesses by increasing the scope and scale of monitoring, tracking, and predictive policing, while also amplifying the inequities of existing surveillance practices. I argue there are three key ways in which digitalization has shifted surveillance practices to varying degrees, particularly for people with disabilities: (1) digitalization has allowed for increasingly predictive, rather than reactive or explanatory policing; (2) digitalization has enabled the integration of previously separate data systems to include data originally collected in various domains and from different institutions; (3) digitalization has enabled state authorities to expand the scope and scale of potential threats to widen the number of people and groups that the CCP defines as “key personnel.” In this project, I seek to challenge traditional depictions of mass surveillance as indiscriminately and impartially monitoring all citizens in China. Rather, I offer a new perspective on the disproportionate surveillance targeting and scrutiny of people with disabilities. Thus, I contend digitalization has both amplified the overall degree of surveillance, as well transformed the state’s view of the population, constructing certain groups as more threatening. Furthermore, I argue these systems of surveillance shape intentions, as well as vice versa. By its very nature, digitalization has enabled more widespread and efficient surveillance, making governments more inclined and empowered to surveil and eliminate perceived ‘threats’ within domestic citizenry. Conversely, the states that already seek to remove or control domestic ‘threats,’ increasingly turn to digitalization and intrusive surveillance methods. As these surveillance systems are exported from China and operationalized by other authoritarian regimes, digitalization will enable greater targeted repression, both because of and contributing to the state’s intentions for domination, security, and control.

description: Fat-containing animal by-product streams are locally available in large quantities. Depending on their quality, they can be inexpensive substrates for biotechnological processes. To accelerate industrial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) bioplastic production, the development of efficient bioprocesses that are based on animal by-product streams is a promising approach to reduce overall production costs. However, the solid nature of animal by-product streams requires a tailor-made process development. In this study, a fat/protein-emulsion (FPE), which is a by-product stream from industrial-scale pharmaceutical heparin production and of which several hundred tons are available annually, was evaluated for PHA production with Ralstonia eutropha. The FPE was used as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen in shake flask and bioreactor cultivations. A tailored pneumatic feeding system was built for laboratory bioreactors to facilitate fed-batch cultivations with the solid FPE. The process yielded up to 51 g L−1 cell dry weight containing 71 wt% PHA with a space–time yield of 0.6 gPHA L−1 h−1 without using any carbon or nitrogen sources other than FPE. The presented approach highlights the potential of animal by-product stream valorization into PHA and contributes to a transition towards a circular bioeconomy.

description: We comment on the paper by E. B. Sonin, PRB v 85, 104516 (2012) [arXiv:1201.3188], with which we find ourselves in serious disagreement. We use this option to shed light on some important issues of a theory of Kelvin wave turbulence, touched in E. B. Sonin's paper, in particular, on the relation between the Vinen spectrum of strong- and the L'vov-Nazarenko spectrum of weak-turbulence of Kelvin waves. We also discuss the role of our explicit calculation of the Kelvin wave interaction Hamiltonian and of the "symmetry arguments" that are supposed to resolve a contradiction between the Kozik-Svistunov and L'vov-Nazarenko spectrum of weak turbulence of Kelvin waves.

description: Bioconversion of waste animal fat (WAF) to polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) is an approach to lower the production costs of these plastic alternatives. However, the solid nature of WAF requires a tailor-made process development. In this study, a double-jacket feeding system was built to thermally liquefy the WAF to employ a continuous feeding strategy. During laboratory-scale cultivations with Ralstonia eutropha Re2058/pCB113, 70% more PHA (45 gPHA L−1) and a 75% higher space–time yield (0.63 gPHA L−1 h−1) were achieved compared to previously reported fermentations with solid WAF.

description: We present a comparison of two methods for cosmological parameter inference from supernovae Ia lightcurves fitted with the SALT2 technique. The standard chi-square methodology and the recently proposed Bayesian hierarchical method (BHM) are each applied to identical sets of simulations based on the 3-year data release from the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS3), and also data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the Low Redshift sample and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), assuming a concordance LCDM cosmology. For both methods, we find that the recovered values of the cosmological parameters, and the global nuisance parameters controlling the stretch and colour corrections to the supernovae lightcurves, suffer from small biasses. The magnitude of the biasses is similar in both cases, with the BHM yielding slightly more accurate results, in particular for cosmological parameters when applied to just the SNLS3 single survey data sets. Most notably, in this case, the biasses in the recovered matter density $Ω_{\rm m,0}$ are in opposite directions for the two methods. For any given realisation of the SNLS3-type data, this can result in a $\sim 2 σ$ discrepancy in the estimated value of $Ω_{\rm m,0}$ between the two methods, which we find to be the case for real SNLS3 data. As more higher and lower redshift SNIa samples are included, however, the cosmological parameter estimates of the two methods converge.

description: Tipping Points invites you to explore a world of change happening beneath the waves of our Arctic
 seas, and how our natural environment and human societies are adapting in response.
 The changes the Earth is now undergoing, as a result of our (in)actions, risk tipping us into completely
 new and unknown ecosystems.
 Through Tipping Points, we want to highlight the important work that the scientific community is
 conducting to understand and predict tipping points, as well as shine a light on ways that societies
 have adapted to constant change in the Arctic region.
 While talking about tipping points can be scary, our intention with this Exhibit is not to shock, but to
 educate. Dive in!
 Tipping Points is an exhibition developed by the Horizon Europe research project ECOTIP.
 ECOTIP focuses on understanding and predicting changes in Arctic marine biodiversity and their
 implications for two vitally important marine ecosystem services: fisheries production, which is the
 economic lifeblood of many Arctic communities, and carbon sequestration, which has important
 feedbacks to the global climate.
 The project has a strong focus on understanding changes in the seas around Greenland. Therefore,
 as part of the project, two scientific research cruises and fieldwork in Greenlandic communities have
 taken place.
 ECOTIP is led by the Technical University of Denmark and brings together leading scientists from
 15 institutes across Europe and Japan. You can find out more about the project at ecotip-artic.eu

description: Using two volume-limited Main galaxy samples of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7), we explore influences of galaxy interactions on AGN activity. It is found that in the faint volume-limited sample, paired galaxies have a slightly higher AGN fraction than isolated galaxies, whereas in the luminous volume-limited sample, an opposite trend can be observed. The significance is <1 sigma. Thus, we do not observe strong evidence that interactions or mergers likely trigger the AGN activity.
