description: To study the quality of stellar spectra of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) and the correctness of the corresponding stellar parameters derived by the LASP (LAMOST Stellar Parameter Pipeline), the outlier analysis method is applied to the archived AFGK stars in the fifth data release (DR5) of LAMOST. The outlier factor is defined in order to sort more than 3 million stellar spectra selected from the DR5 Stellar Parameter catalog. We propose an improved Local Outlier Factor (LOF) method based on Principal Component Analysis and Monte Carlo to enable the computation of the LOF rankings for randomly picked sub-samples that are computed in parallel by multiple computers, and finally to obtain the outlier ranking of each spectrum in the entire dataset. Totally 3,627 most outlier ranked spectra, around one-thousandth of all spectra, are selected and clustered into 10 groups, and the parameter density distribution of them conforms to the parameter distribution of LAMOST DR5, which suggests that in the whole parameter space the probability of bad spectra is uniformly distributed. By cross-matching the 3,627 spectra with APOGEE, we obtain 122 common ones. The published parameters calculated from LASP agree with APOGEE for the 122 spectra although there are bad pixels or bad flux calibrations in them. On the other hand, some outlier spectra show strong nebular contamination warning the corresponding parameters should be carefully used. A catalog and a spectral atlas of all the 3,627 outliers can be found at the link http://paperdata.china-vo.org/LY_paper/dr5Outlier/dr5Outlier_resource.zip.

description: Ultra-cold clouds of dimeric molecules can dissociate into quantum mechanically correlated constituent atoms that are either bosons or fermions. We theoretically model the dissociation of cigar shaped molecular condensates, for which this difference manifests as complementary geometric structures of the dissociated atoms. For atomic bosons beams form along the long axis of the molecular condensate. For atomic fermions beams form along the short axis. This directional beaming simplifies the measurement of correlations between the atoms through relative number squeezing.

description: To investigate the x-ray absorption (XAS) branching ratio from the core 4d to valence 5f states, we set up a theoretical framework by using a combination of density functional theory in the local density approximation and Dynamical Mean Field Theory (LDA+DMFT), and apply it to several actinides. The results of the LDA+DMFT reduces to the band limit for itinerant systems and to the atomic limit for localized f electrons, meaning a spectrum of 5f itinerancy can be investigated. Our results provides a consistent and unified view of the XAS branching ratio for all elemental actinides, and is in good overall agreement with experiments.

A Two Component Model of the Vela Pulsars with Large Fractional Moment of Inertia of the Crust

description: We construct a two-component analytic model of the Vela pulsar which can reproduce the fractional crustal moment of inertia, $I_{\rm crust}/I_{\rm total} \geq 0.074$ ( where $I_{\rm crust}$ represents the moment of inertia of the crust and $ I_{\rm total}$ is the total moment of inertia of the star) for the mass range $M/M_\odot \geq 1.0 - 1.96$. The models are assumed to be self-bound at the surface density $E_a = 2\times 10^{14}\rm g{cm}^{-3}$ (like, Brecher and Caporaso \cite{Ref1}) which yields the transition density at the core-crust boundary $E_b \geq 2.105 \times 10^{14}\rm g{cm}^{-3}$ and pressure/energy-density ratio, $P_b/E_b \geq 0.00589$.The central density, $E_0$, of the models ranges from 1.263 - 1.600 $\times 10^{15}\rm g{cm}^{-3}$. The total moment of inertia, $I_{\rm total}$, and the moment of inertia of the crust component, $ I_{\rm crust}$ lie in the range $I_{\rm 45} = $0.076 - 2.460 and 0.0056 - 0.8622 respectively (where $I_{45}=I/10^{45}\rm g{cm}^2$. The total radii, $a$, of the models have the values from 9.252km - 11.578km and the crustal thickness, $a_{\rm crust}$, lies in the range 0.234km - 1.551km. The mass of the crust, $M_{\rm crust}/M_\odot$, of the models varies from 0.025 - 0.263. The pressure/energy-density ratio, $P_b/E_b$, at the core-crust boundary and other physical parameters obtained in this study for the Vela pulsar are compared with the corresponding parameters obtained in the literature on the basis of various equations of state (EOSs). That few studies available in the literature \cite{Ref2}, \cite{Ref3} which predict the fractional crustal moment of inertia about 7\% for the Vela mass as large as 1.7$M_\odot$, the present study has been able to reproduce the minimum fractional crustal moment of inertia about 7.4\% and larger for all the values of the mass in the range 1.0 - 1.96$M\odot$ considered for the Vela pulsar.

Globally, distribution utilities are rapidly incorporating standards-based smart grid protection and control technologies into their asset base. But they and their regulators still face challenges in terms of marketing products and seeing them accepted by consumers. So smart grid rollouts and trials can no longer be viewed as just business-as-usual new models and regulatory frameworks are required.

description: We prove that a crepant resolution of a Ricci-flat Kähler cone X admits a complete Ricci-flat Kähler metric asymptotic to the cone metric in every Kähler class in H^2_c(Y,R). This result contains as a subcase the existence of ALE Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on crepant resolutions of X=C^n /G, where G is a finite subgroup of SL(n,C). We consider the case in which X is toric. A result of A. Futaki, H. Ono, and G. Wang guarantees the existence of a Ricci-flat Kähler cone metric if X is Gorenstein. We use toric geometry to construct crepant resolutions.

description: We present optical and ultraviolet (UV) observations of a luminous type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2015bq characterized by the early flux excess. This SN reaches a B-band absolute magnitude at $M_B = -19.68 \pm 0.41$ mag and a peak bolometric luminosity at $L = (1.75 \pm 0.37) \times 10^{43}$ erg s$^{-1}$, with a relatively small post-maximum decline rate [$Δm_{15}(B) = 0.82 \pm 0.05$ mag]. The flux excess observed in the light curves of SN 2015bq a few days after the explosion, especially seen in the UV bands, might be due to the radioactive decay of $^{56}$Ni mixed into the surface. The radiation from the decay of the surface $^{56}$Ni heats the outer layer of this SN. It produces blue $U-B$ color followed by monotonically reddening in the early phase, dominated iron-group lines, and weak intermediate-mass elements absorption features in the early spectra. The scenario of enhanced $^{56}$Ni in the surface is consistent with a large amount of $^{56}$Ni ($M_{ \rm ^{56}{\rm Ni}}$ = 0.97 $\pm 0.20$ $M_{\odot}$) synthesized during the explosion. The properties of SN 2015bq are found to locate between SN 1991T and SN 1999aa, suggesting the latter two subclasses of SNe Ia may have a common origin.

Die Qualität der politischen Berichterstattung in Printmedien
Creators: name: Larcher, Evelyn Maria Theresia
Year: 2012

description: In der vorliegenden Magisterarbeit ging es im Allgemeinen um die Qualität der Politikberichterstattung in Printmedien und im Speziellen um die Qualität der Politikberichterstattung des Südtiroler Wochenmagazins „ff“. Printmedien nehmen eine zentrale Rolle bei der Berichterstattung über Politik ein. Als älteste Massenmedien haben sie die längste Tradition in der Politikberichterstattung. Der Politikberichterstattung kommt eine demokratiepolitische Bedeutung zu. In Mediengesellschaften nehmen Bürger Politik zunehmend über Medien wahr. Die von den Medien bereitgestellte politische Information ist für das Funktionieren von Demokratien zentral. Bürger, die über Personen, Programme, politische Entscheidungsinhalte und Entscheidungsfolgen informiert sind, können sich im Rahmen von Wahlen und Abstimmungen an der Politik beteiligen. Von der Qualität, der von den Medien bereitgestellten politischen Information hängt also die Qualität der Demokratie ab. Die vorliegende Magisterarbeit befasste sich in einem theoretischen Teil mit dem Medien- und Politikbegriff, der Mediengesellschaft, der Politik in der Mediengesellschaft, dem Verhältnis von Politik und Medien sowie den politischen Funktionen von Medien. Es wurde auf die politische Macht und die Verantwortung der Medien eingegangen. Die Magisterarbeit setzte sich mit der Vermittlung von Politik, der medialen Politikvermittlung, der Politikberichterstattung als Form der medialen Politikvermittlung als auch mit der Medienrealität der Politik und dem politischen Medieneinfluss auseinander. Es wurde auf die Qualitätsforschung, die Qualitätsdebatte der Kommunikationswissenschaft und der journalistischen Berufspraxis, auf den journalistischen Qualitätsbegriff, die Bewertung journalistischer Qualität und auf mögliche  Qualitätskriterien der Politikberichterstattung eingegangen. In einem empirischen Teil wurde die Politikberichterstattung des Südtiroler Wochenmagazins  auf ihre Qualität in den vergangenen zehn Jahren hin analysiert. Die Politikberichterstattung der „ff“ aus den Jahren 2000 und 2010 wurde einer Inhaltsanalyse unterzogen. Ziel der Inhaltsanalyse war es Veränderungen der Qualität der Politikberichterstattung der „ff“ zwischen den Jahren 2000 und 2010 festzustellen. Es wurde von der Annahme ausgegangen, dass die Politikberichterstattung der „ff“ innerhalb der vergangenen zehn Jahre qualitativ hochwertiger geworden ist. Diese Annahme konnte im Rahmen der Inhaltsanalyse nicht bestätigt werden. Die Politikberichterstattung der „ff“ zeichnete sich sowohl im Jahr 2000 als auch im Jahr 2010 durch Qualität aus.

Intelligence as Dimensional Collapse: A Mechanistic Model Bridging Digital and Analog Computation
Creators: name: Todd, Ian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: We propose a physical mechanism of intelligence: neurons fire discrete action potentials (digital spikes) that generate electric fields, which interact to form continuous, high-dimensional vector spaces (analog fields). These fields encode information through spatial, temporal, and intensity relationships among vectors—creating a representational space of far higher dimensionality than the physical 3D substrate. Through stochastic resonance, noise selectively amplifies meaningful patterns within these fields until they exceed thresholds, collapsing this hyperdimensional analog information back into discrete neural spikes. We term this cycle of expansion and contraction “dimensional collapse.” This framework provides a parsimonious explanation for neural phenomena including ephaptic coupling and coding efficiency, while suggesting principles for designing robust, energy-efficient artificial intelligence systems that transcend traditional computational paradigms.

description: Understanding how players interact with the mobile game app on smartphone devices is important for game experts to develop and refine their app products. Conventionally, the game experts achieve their purposes through intensive user studies with target players or iterative UI design processes, which can not capture interaction patterns of large-scale individual players. Visualizing the recorded logs of users' UI operations is a promising way for quantitatively understanding the interaction patterns. However, few visualization tools have been developed for mobile game app interaction, which is challenging with multi-touch dynamic operations and complex UI. In this work, we fill the gap by presenting a visualization approach that aims to understand players' interaction patterns in a multi-touch gaming app with more complex interactions supported by joysticks and a series of skill buttons. Particularly, we identify players' dynamic gesture patterns, inspect the similarities and differences of gesture behaviors, and explore the potential gaps between the current mobile game app UI design and the real-world practice of players. Three case studies indicate that our approach is promising and can be potentially complementary to theoretical UI designs for further research.

description: Model waveforms are used in gravitational wave data analysis to detect and then to measure the properties of a source by matching the model waveforms to the signal from a detector. This paper derives accuracy standards for model waveforms which are sufficient to ensure that these data analysis applications are capable of extracting the full scientific content of the data, but without demanding excessive accuracy that would place undue burdens on the model waveform simulation community. These accuracy standards are intended primarily for broad-band model waveforms produced by numerical simulations, but the standards are quite general and apply equally to such waveforms produced by analytical or hybrid analytical-numerical methods.

description: Schon während meiner Tätigkeit bei der Bank ist mir aufgefallen, dass immer wieder Kunden nachgefragt haben, ob sie überhaupt gewisse Verträge abschließen dürfen oder was sie mit den Zinsen, die bei Kapitalsparbüchern anfallen machen sollen, weil sie verboten sind etc. Damals habe ich mich aus Interesse bei einem bekannten Hoca darüber informiert und bin so das erste Mal mit dem Thema „Islamic Finance“ in Berührung gekommen. Ein paar Monate später wurde mir vorgeschlagen mich in meiner Magisterarbeit mit dieser Thematik zu beschäftigen.

Diese Arbeit soll dabei helfen dem Leser einen kurzen Überblick über die wichtigsten Aspekte der islamischen Finanzwelt zu verschaffen. Durch die Vorstellung der Produkte,  Investitionsmöglichkeiten und der gleichzeitigen Gegenüberstellung mit den konventionellen Produkten, werden die entscheidenden Unterschiede herausgearbeitet.

Im ersten Kapitel wird auf die Grundlagen, wie den Islam, den Koran und die Rechtsschulen eingegangen. Im zweiten und dritten Kapitel werden mit der Scharia und dem Scharia Board weitere essentielle Bestandteile und ihre Rollen vorgestellt.  Auf diesen Informationen aufbauend, beschäftigen sich das vierte und fünfte Kapitel mit den Produkten, Techniken und Leistungen, die islamische Investoren ohne Bedenken nutzen können. Des Weiteren wird erklärt, wie diese Geschäfte abgewickelt werden und wie sich diese Abläufe von den Konventionellen unterschieden.
Disaggregating consumer demand for organic and genetically modified foods using the Choice Modelling technique

description: Issues concerning consumer demands for genetically modified and organic food remain highly topical in Australia. It is unclear how consumers perceive issues associated with food production such as food safety, environmental impacts or animal welfare. It is also unclear how consumers might value potential changes in those issues. This paper reports on research using the choice modelling technique to estimate and compare consumer demand for genetically modified and organic foods and the contingent valuation method to estimate the value of taking a precautionary approach to the release of additional genetically modified organisms in Australian agriculture.
The choice modelling case study considers commodities including tomatoes, milk and beef produced from conventional, organic and genetically modified production systems. The results provide some indication of the contribution of associated factors with consumer choices, as well as exploring consumer values for higher food safety standards. The results are of relevance to the current policy debate regarding the introduction of genetically modified foods to Australia.
The contingent valuation method experiment provides an estimate of the consumer welfare obtained from the opportunity to delay a decision to introduce new genetically modified organisms into Australian farming systems. Such a moratorium would provide an opportunity for researchers to collect information regarding the long-term risks associated with the commercial release of new biotechnologies. The results are of relevance to government policy makers debating whether or not the benefits of a precautionary approach to the release of genetically modified organisms outweighs the opportunity costs of foregone development opportunities.

description: Selection of appropriate tools and use of them when performing daily tasks is a critical function for introducing robots for domestic applications. In previous studies, however, adaptability to target objects was limited, making it difficult to accordingly change tools and adjust actions. To manipulate various objects with tools, robots must both understand tool functions and recognize object characteristics to discern a tool-object-action relation. We focus on active perception using multimodal sensorimotor data while a robot interacts with objects, and allow the robot to recognize their extrinsic and intrinsic characteristics. We construct a deep neural networks (DNN) model that learns to recognize object characteristics, acquires tool-object-action relations, and generates motions for tool selection and handling. As an example tool-use situation, the robot performs an ingredients transfer task, using a turner or ladle to transfer an ingredient from a pot to a bowl. The results confirm that the robot recognizes object characteristics and servings even when the target ingredients are unknown. We also examine the contributions of images, force, and tactile data and show that learning a variety of multimodal information results in rich perception for tool use.

description: Transitional millisecond pulsars are millisecond pulsars that switch between a rotation-powered millisecond pulsar state and an accretion-powered X-ray binary state, and are thought to be an evolutionary stage between neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries and millisecond pulsars. So far, only three confirmed systems have been identified in addition to a handful of candidates. We present the results of a multi-wavelength study of the low-mass X-ray binary NGC 6652B in the globular cluster NGC 6652, including simultaneous radio and X-ray observations taken by the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and optical spectroscopy and photometry. This source is the second brightest X-ray source in NGC 6652 ($L_{\textrm{X}}\sim1.8\times10^{34}$ erg s$^{-1}$) and is known to be variable. We observe several X-ray flares over the duration of our X-ray observations, in addition to persistent radio emission and occasional radio flares. Simultaneous radio and X-ray data show no clear evidence of anti-correlated variability. Optical spectra of NGC 6652B indicate variable, broad H $α$ emission which transitions from double-peaked emission to absorption over a time-scale of hours. We consider a variety of possible explanations for the source behaviour, and conclude that based on the radio and X-ray luminosities, short time-scale variability and X-ray flaring, and optical spectra, NGC 6652B is best explained as a transitional millisecond pulsar candidate that displays prolonged X-ray flaring behaviour. However, this could only be confirmed with observations of a change to the rotation-powered millisecond pulsar state.

description: We discuss the role of electron-electron and electron-phonon correlations in current flow in the Coulomb Blockade regime, focusing specifically on nontrivial signatures arising from the break-down of mean-field theory. By solving transport equations directly in Fock space, we show that electron-electron interactions manifest as gateable excitations experimentally observed in the current-voltage characteristic. While these excitations might merge into an incoherent sum that allows occasional simplifications, a clear separation of excitations into slow `traps' and fast `channels' can lead to further novelties such as negative differential resistance, hysteresis and random telegraph signals. Analogous novelties for electron-phonon correlation include the breakdown of commonly anticipated Stokes-antiStokes intensities, and an anomalous decrease in phonon population upon heating due to reabsorption of emitted phonons.

Ratgeberjournalismus im Internet
Creators: name: Dedagic, Maida
Year: 2012

description: Das Internet, welches durch seinen Informations-, aber vor allem auch durch seinen Interaktionscharakter besticht, ist heute zum festen Bestandteil des Alltags geworden. Dabei stellen Onlinemedien die Fortsetzung eines Trends dar, der seit langem in klassischen Medien festzustellen ist, nämlich die Zunahme des Ratgeberjournalismus. Aus wissenschaftlicher Perspektive ist das florierende Lebenshilfeangebot in klassischen Medien und insbesondere im Internet trotzdem kaum untersucht worden.

Die vorliegende Arbeit macht es sich zum Ziel ausgehend vom aktuellen Forschungsstand zum Ratgeberjournalismus die weiten Dimensionen der Ratgeberangebote im Internet zu erfassen. Dabei soll einerseits der Online-Ratgeberjournalismus im Allgemeinen mit einem theoretischen Rahmen versehen und eingeordnet werden. Andererseits sollen Online-Ratgeber für Jugendliche und deren Nutzung empirisch analysiert werden.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities developed an inclusive approach to planning grid modernization that emphasizes desired outcomes rather than specific technological solutions. Within that framework, expected consumer benefits from certain upgrades such as AMI were found to be different in Massachusetts than in some other states, while innovations like dynamic pricing entailed some special complexities. The end result of the process has been to galvanize an engaged group of experts, interested parties, businesses and regulators that are poised to usher in a smarter grid.

SUSY backgrounds to Standard Model calibration processes at the LHC

description: One of the first orders of business for LHC experiments after beam turn-on will be to calibrate the detectors using well understood Standard Model (SM) processes such as W and Z production and ttbar production. These familiar SM processes can be used to calibrate the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, and also to calibrate the associated missing transverse energy signal. However, the presence of new physics may already affect the results coming from these standard benchmark processes. We show that the presence of relatively low mass supersymmetry (SUSY) particles may give rise to significant deviations from SM predictions of Z+jets and W+jets events for jet multiplicity $\ge 4$ or $\ge 5$, respectively. Furthermore, the presence of low mass SUSY may cause non-standard deviations to appear in top quark invariant and transverse mass distributions. Thus, effects that might be construed as detector mal-performance could in fact be the presence of new physics. We advocate several methods to check when new physics might be present within SM calibration data.

Einfluss von Gerüchen von Antiquariaten auf die Affektlage von Menschen
Creators: name: Hodzic-Bekric, Ambera
Year: 2012

description: Betrachtet man die physiologischen Funktionen des menschlichen Geruchssinns, so fällt auf, dass er sich von anderen Sinnen unterscheidet. Dies liegt daran, dass die Struktur des olfaktorischen Systems eng mit dem Amygdala-Hippocampus-Komplex verbunden ist. Der Amygdala-Hippocampus-Komplex ist ein Bereich im Gehirn, der für die Wahrnehmung von Emotionen wichtig ist. Dies ist ein Grund, warum Erinnerungen, die durch Gerüche ausgelöst sind, besonders emotional wirken. In dieser Arbeit wurde der Einfluss von „alten“ Gerüchen auf die Affektlage des Menschen untersucht. Als olfaktorische Reize wurden für dieses Experiment Gerüche in einem Antiquariat und in einem Antiquitätengeschäft ausgewählt, weil sie einerseits charakteristisch sind und andererseits als angenehm und entspannend empfunden werden. Um den Einfluss des Alters auf durch Gerüche induzierte Stimmungen zu untersuchen, wurden 2 Gruppen von Versuchspersonen getestet, nämlich eine Gruppe von Senioren (50-80 Jahre) und eine Gruppe von jüngeren Probanden (18-50 Jahre).

Das Experiment wurde für jeden Probanden an den beiden ausgewählten Orten durchgeführt. An jedem Ort gab es zwei Versuchsbedingungen: In einer Bedingung trugen die Versuchspersonen eine Nasenklammer, in der anderen nicht. Die Stimmung der Probanden wurde im Anschluss an die Begehungen mit Hilfe des Mehrdimensionalen Befindlichkeitsfragebogens erhoben. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die untersuchten Gerüche im Antiquitätengeschäft zu einer Verbesserung der Stimmung der Versuchspersonen führten. Darüber hinaus wurde ein genereller Alterseffekt festgestellt: Ältere Probanden bewerteten ihre Stimmung besser als jüngere und stuften die Gerüche als bekannter ein. Das liegt möglicherweise daran, dass ältere Menschen mehr Erinnerungen an die Vergangenheit haben, mit denen sie die Gerüche assoziieren können.
Zwischen Isolation und Freundschaft
Creators: name: Krug, Clara
Year: 2012

description: The diploma thesis at hand, based on empirical research, discusses the social relationships of people with an intellectual disability living and working together in a community in Breitenfurt. During four months of field research, I conducted a participant observation among two residential groups and several sheltered workshops, and interviewed seven residents of the living community. The gained data is being presented and the results are being illustrated and discussed using a set of categories. In doing so, the social relationships of my informants were divided into four big groups: friendships, the relationship with parents (respectively family), romantic relationships and relationships with the care workers. A main aspect is the feeling of inside/outside which results from the living community being relatively isolated. I combined the research results with the viewpoints of Disability Studies.
The thesis is being completed with an introduction into Disability Studies as a scientific field of research dealing with the phenomenon disability. As a central concept, the social model of disability is being discussed and confronted with an informed criticism.
description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit behandelt im Rahmen einer empirischen Forschung die sozialen Beziehungen von Menschen mit geistigen Behinderungen die in der Dorfgemeinschaft Breitenfurt gemeinsam leben und arbeiten. Konkret wurden im Zuge einer viermonatigen Feldforschung eine teilnehmende Beobachtung in zwei Wohngruppen und verschiedenen Tageswerkstätten sowie qualitative Interviews mit sieben Bewohnern*Bewohnerinnen der Dorfgemeinschaft geführt. Die gewonnen Daten werden präsentiert und die Ergebnisse anhand eines Kategoriensystems dargestellt und diskutiert. Dabei werden die sozialen Beziehungen meiner Informanten*Informantinnen in vier große Bereiche unterteilt: Freundschaften, die Beziehung zu den Eltern beziehungsweise zur Familie, Liebesbeziehungen und die Beziehungen zu den Betreuern*Betreuerinnen. Ein wesentlicher Aspekt ist das Gefühl von Innen/Außen, das durch die relative Abgeschlossenheit der Dorfgemeinschaft entsteht. Von den Ergebnissen der Forschung wird ein Bogen zu Positionen der Disability Studies gespannt.
Ergänzt wird die Arbeit durch eine Einführung in die Disability Studies als wissenschaftliche Forschungsrichtung die sich mit dem Phänomen Behinderung auseinandersetzt. Dabei wird als zentrales Konzept das soziale Modell von Behinderung kritisch diskutiert. Tom Shakespeares neuer, kritisch realistischer Ansatz wird vorgestellt und sein Wert für die empirische Arbeit beleuchtet.

description: The cosmological evolution of an interacting scalar field model in which the scalar field interacts with dark matter, radiation, and baryon via Lorentz violation is investigated. We propose a model of interaction through the effective coupling $\barβ$. Using dynamical system analysis, we study the linear dynamics of an interacting model and show that the dynamics of critical points are completely controlled by two parameters. Some results can be mentioned as follows. Firstly, the sequence of radiation, the dark matter, and the scalar field dark energy exist and baryons are sub dominant. Secondly, the model also allows the possibility of having a universe in the phantom phase with constant potential. Thirdly, the effective gravitational constant varies with respect to time through $\barβ$. In particular, we consider a simple case where $\barβ$ has a quadratic form and has a good agreement with the modified $Λ$CDM and quintessence models. Finally, we also calculate the first post--Newtonian parameters for our model.
