description: We report the discovery of the cessation of flickering in dips in the black hole candidate Cygnus X-1, detected for the first time in the ASCA observation of May 9th., 1995. During this observation, particularly deep dipping took place resulting in strong changes in hardness ratio corresponding to absorption of the power law spectral component. The deadtime corrected light curve with high time resolution clearly shows a dramatic decrease in the extent of flickering in the band 0.7 - 4.0 keV during dipping, but in the band 4.0 - 10.0 keV, there is relatively little change. We show that the rms flickering amplitude in the band 0.7 - 4.0 keV is proportional to the X-ray intensity in this band which changes by a factor of almost three. This is direct evidence that the strong Low State flickering is intrinsic to the power law emission; ie takes place as part of the emission process. The rms amplitude is proportional to the intensity in the low energy band, except for a possible deviation from linearity at the lower intensities. If confirmed, this non-linearity could imply a process such as electron scattering of radiation which will tend to smear out the fluctuations, or a process of fluctuation generation which depends on radial position in the source. Thus timing observations during absorption dips can give information about the source region and may place constraints on its size.

description: We show that a particular ``universal'' form for the soft-breaking couplings in a softly broken $N=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory is renormalisation-group invariant through two loops, provided we impose one simple condition on the dimensionless couplings. The universal form for the trilinear couplings and mass terms is identical to that found in popular derivations of the soft-breaking terms from strings or supergravity.

description: We analyze a two-dimensional Kondo lattice model with special emphasis on non-Hermitian properties of the single-particle spectrum, following a recent proposal by Kozii and Fu. Our analysis based on the dynamical mean-field theory elucidates that the single-particle spectral weight shows the exceptional points (EPs). Correspondingly, the spectral weight exhibits the band touching, resulting in a structure similar to the "Fermi arc". Furthermore, we find an intriguing phenomenon arising from the periodicity of the lattice. The EPs generated by two distinct Dirac points merge and change into a hybrid point which vanishes as the exchange interaction is increased. Accordingly, the paramagnetic phase in the low temperature region shows a significant difference from non-interacting fermions: the imaginary part of the self-energy yields the "Fermi loop" without any defective points.

description: We study two-dimensional, large $N$ field theoretic models (Gross-Neveu model, 't Hooft model) at finite baryon density near the chiral limit. The same mechanism which leads to massless baryons in these models induces a breakdown of translational invariance at any finite density. In the chiral limit baryonic matter is characterized by a spatially varying chiral angle with a wave number depending only on the density. For small bare quark masses a sine-Gordon kink chain is obtained which may be regarded as simplest realization of the Skyrme crystal for nuclear matter. Characteristic differences between confining and non-confining models are pointed out.

Standard-like Models with Broken Supersymmetry from Type I String Vacua

description: We construct D=4 Type I vacua with massless content remarkably close to that of the standard model of particle physics. They are tachyon-free non-supersymmetric models which are obtained starting with a standard D=4, N=1 compact Type IIB orientifold and adding the same number of Dp-branes and anti-Dp-branes distributed at different points of the underlying orbifold. Supersymmetry-breaking is felt by the observable world either directly, by gravity mediation or gauge mediation, depending on the brane configuration. We construct several simple three generation examples with the gauge group of the standard model or its left-right symmetric extensions. The models contain a number of U(1) gauge groups whose anomalies are cancelled by a generalized Green-Schwarz mechanism. These U(1)'s are broken but may survive as global symmetries providing for a flavour structure to the models. The value of the string scale may be lowered down to the intermediate scale (as required in the gravity mediation case) or down to 1-100 TeV for the non-SUSY models. Thus the present models are the first semirealistic string vacua realizing the possibility of a low string scale. The unbalanced force between the pairs of Dp- and anti-Dp-branes provides for an effect which tends to compactify some of the extra dimensions but no others. This could provide a new mechanism for radius stabilization.

description: We report the results of a 60-hr photometric campaign of a rapidly oscillating Ap star, J0855 (TYC 2488-1241-1). We have utilised the multi-site Las Cumbres Observatory's (LCO) 0.4-m telescopes to obtain short cadence B-band observations of an roAp star previously lacking detailed study. Our observations confirm the rotation period presented in the discovery paper of this star ($P_{\rm rot}=3.0918$ d), and reveal the star to be pulsating in a distorted mode. The B data show this star to be among the highest amplitude roAp stars, with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 24 mmag. Modelling of the pulsation frequency at 197.2714 d$^{-1}$ (2283 $μ$Hz; P=7.30 min) shows that this star belongs to the subgroup of super-critical pulsators, where the observed frequencies are above the theoretical acoustic cutoff frequency. From the modelling, we deduce that the star's rotation axis is inclination angle of about $30^\circ$ to the line-of-sight, with an angle of obliquity of the magnetic axis to the rotation axis of either $40^\circ$ or $24^\circ$ depending on whether the pulsation mode is dipole or quadrupole, respectively.

description: This paper proposes an online friction coefficient identification framework for legged robots on slippery terrain. The approach formulates the optimization problem to minimize the sum of residuals between actual and predicted states parameterized by the friction coefficient in rigid body contact dynamics. Notably, the proposed framework leverages the analytic smoothed gradient of contact impulses, obtained by smoothing the complementarity condition of Coulomb friction, to solve the issue of non-informative gradients induced from the nonsmooth contact dynamics. Moreover, we introduce the rejection method to filter out data with high normal contact velocity following contact initiations during friction coefficient identification for legged robots. To validate the proposed framework, we conduct the experiments using a quadrupedal robot platform, KAIST HOUND, on slippery and nonslippery terrain. We observe that our framework achieves fast and consistent friction coefficient identification within various initial conditions.

Year: 2025

description: The article explores the idea of active listening and how important it is to clear communication. The process of completely participating in a discussion by paying attention, comprehending, remembering, and responding to the information being delivered is known as active listening. It sets active listening apart from passive hearing and highlights the value of empathy, participation, and feedback in communication. According to the article, active listening improves problem-solving skills, builds trust, and strengthens interpersonal connections. Active listening techniques can enhance communication results, strengthen emotional bonds, and foster a respectful environment in both personal and professional contexts.

description: Students conducting a piece of qualitative research frequently ask ‘how many interviews is enough?’ Early career researchers and established academics also consider this question when designing research projects. In this NCRM Methods Review paper we gather and review responses to the question of ‘how many’ from 14 renowned social scientists and 5 early career researchers. The riposte to the question of ‘how many’ from most contributors is ‘it depends’. In considering what ‘it depends upon’ however, the responses offer guidance on the epistemological, methodological and practical issues to take into account when conducting research projects. This includes advice about assessing research aims and objectives, validity within epistemic communities and available time and resources.

Such an experiment could be performed at a very high luminosity symmetric e+e- collider operating at the Upsilon(5S) resonance, where the Bs-Bsbar state is produced in a state of definite CP. We also discuss CP-tagging in the Bd system at the Upsilon(4S), where a time-dependent analysis is required to compensate for the anticipated large CP violation in Bd-Bdbar mixing.

Cette Fourmi correspond assez bien a la description que Mayr a donnee de C. arborea F. Sm. et a la figure du pedicule, mais la couleur est differente: rouge ferrugineux clair, avec l'abdomen proprement dit brun de poix ou noir. Mayr ne parle pas des proportions des antennes; chez mon Insecte, le scape est remarquablement long et depasse notablement le bord posterieur de la tete, les articles du funicule sont tous plus longs qu'epais, la massue est fort peu epaissie, ses 2, premiers articles peu inegaux. Le 1 er segment du pedicule porte de chaque cote, pres de son bord posterieur un petit tubercule saillant.

La tete est plus large que longue. Le metanotum est arme de fortes dents. Le 1 er n oe ud du pedicule a les cotes paralleles et porte en arriere une arete transversale, se terminant de chaque cote par une petite saillie anguleuse; cette arete separe un large plan anterieur d'un plan posterieur tres court.

description: An inflationary scenario that leads to $Ω_0<1$ today is presented. An epoch of `old' inflation during which the smoothness and horizon problems are solved is followed by a shortened epoch of `new' inflation. Old inflation exits through the nucleation of a single bubble, leading to negative spatial curvature on slices of constant cosmic time. We calculate the spectrum of density perturbations in such a scenario.

description: This study addressed the effects of climate drivers on the tree-ring width (TRW) parameters (total ring width (TR), earlywood width (EW) and latewood width (LW)) and the total ring δ13C series of different wood components (whole wood, α-cellulose and holocelluose) from Masson pine in subtropical China. Pairwise correlation coefficients between three ring width parameters were statistically significant. EW and LW did not reveal much stronger climate sensitivity rather than TR. This indicated that the use of intra-annual ring width has little benefit in extracting more climate information. The mean δ13C series of the three components of the total ring had the strongest climate response to the July–September relative humidity (r = −0.792 (whole wood), −0.758 (holocellulose) and −0.769 (α-cellulose)). There are no significant differences in the dendroclimatic relationships of the δ13C series of different wood components. Through both stationary temporal and spatial-statistical perspectives, the moisture drivers (summer/autumn) had a significant impact on three ring width parameters and three components of Masson pine. Overall, the radial growth and the δ13C series showed different responses to the same climate drivers during the same period. Moreover, the R-squared values of the strongest climate-proxy correlation coefficients were smaller than 50% for TRW. Consequently, the δ13C series of Masson pine may be a more representative climate proxy than TRW parameters for dendroclimatology in subtropical China.

description: We address the problem of maintaining high voltage power transmission networks in security at all time, namely anticipating exceeding of thermal limit for eventual single line disconnection (whatever its cause may be) by running slow, but accurate, physical grid simulators. New conceptual frameworks are calling for a probabilistic risk-based security criterion. However, these approaches suffer from high requirements in terms of tractability. Here, we propose a new method to assess the risk. This method uses both machine learning techniques (artificial neural networks) and more standard simulators based on physical laws. More specifically we train neural networks to estimate the overall dangerousness of a grid state. A classical benchmark problem (manpower 118 buses test case) is used to show the strengths of the proposed method.

description: Trajectory behaviours of pedestrians and vehicles operating close to each other can be different in unstructured compared to structured environments. These differences in the motion behaviour are valuable to be considered in the trajectory prediction algorithm of an autonomous vehicle. However, the available datasets on pedestrians' and vehicles' trajectories that are commonly used as benchmarks for trajectory prediction have not been classified based on the nature of their environment. On the other hand, the definitions provided for unstructured and structured environments are rather qualitative and hard to be used for justifying the type of a given environment. In this paper, we have compared different existing datasets based on a couple of extracted trajectory features, such as mean speed and trajectory variability. Through K-means clustering and generalized linear models, we propose more quantitative measures for distinguishing the two different types of environments. Our results show that features such as trajectory variability, stop fraction and density of pedestrians are different among the two environmental types and can be used to classify the existing datasets.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We calculate the mass spectra and string tensions of SU(2), SU(3), SU(4) and SU(5) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions. We do so by simulating the corresponding lattice theories and then extrapolating dimensionless mass ratios to the continuum limit. We find that such mass ratios are, to a first approximation, independent of the number of colours and that the remaining dependence can be accurately reproduced by a simple O(1/N.N) correction. This provides us with a prediction of these mass ratios for all SU(N) theories in 2+1 dimensions and demonstrates that these theories are already `close' to N=infinity for N=2. We find that the theory retains a non-zero confining string tension as N goes to infinity and that the dimensionful coupling g.g is proportional to 1/N at large N, when expressed in units of the dynamical length scale of the theory. During the course of these calculations we study in detail the effects of including over-relaxation in the Monte Carlo, of using a mean-field improved coupling to extrapolate to the continuum limit, and the use of space-time asymmetric lattice actions to resolve heavy glueball correlators.

description: As electric vehicles (EVs) approach the end of their operational life, their batteries retain significant economic value and present promising opportunities for second-life use and material recycling. This is particularly compelling for Global South and other underdeveloped regions, where reliable energy storage is vital to addressing critical challenges posed by weak and even nonexistent power grid and energy infrastructures. However, despite this potential, widespread adoption has been hindered by critical uncertainties surrounding the technical performance, safety, and recertification of second-life batteries. In cases where they have been redeployed, mismatches between estimated and actual performance often render batteries technically unsuitable or hazardous, turning them into liabilities for communities they were intended to benefit. This considerable misalignment exacerbates energy access disparities and undermines the broader vision of energy justice, highlighting an urgent need for robust and scalable solutions to unlock the potential. In the PulseBat Dataset, the authors tested 464 retired lithium-ion batteries, covering 3 cathode material types, 6 historical usages, 3 physical formats, and 6 capacity designs. The pulse test experiments were performed repeatedly for each second-life battery with 10 pulse width, 10 pulse magnitude, multiple state-of-charge, and state-of-health conditions, e.g., from 0.37 to 1.03. The PulseBat Dataset recorded these test conditions and the voltage response as well as the temperature signals that were subject to the injected pulse current, which could be used as a valuable data resource for critical diagnostics tasks such as state-of-charge estimation, state-of-health estimation, cathode material type identification, open-circuit voltage reconstruction, thermal management, and beyond.

Exact Solution for the Protected TEM edge mode in a PTD-Symmetric Parallel-Plate Waveguide

Year: 2018

description: A Parity Time-reversal Dual (PTD) symmetric structure constituted by a Perfectly-Electric-Perfectly magnetic (PEC-PMC) parallel plate waveguide (PPW) is analyzed. This waveguide supports unimodal transverse electromagnetic (TEM) edge mode propagation protected against back-scattering from a certain class of deformations and defects. The TEM solution is found in analytical form by using three different methods, namely conformal mapping, mode-matching, and Fourier-transform methods. It is shown through numerical simulations that the mode propagation is robust with respect to deformations such as 90° bends and discontinuity such as transition to free-space. Implementation of the PMC boundary conditions via both a bed of nails and a mushroom structure is also successfully investigated.
Search for CP Violation at a Neutrino Factory in a Four-Neutrino Model

description: The CP violation effects in long baseline neutrino oscillations are studied in the framework of a four-neutrino model (three active neutrinos and one sterile neutrino). It is assumed that neutrino masses are devided into two nearly degenerate pairs, as indicated by the oscillation data. Approximative analytic expressions are derived for the probability differences $ΔP_{\a\b} \equiv P(ν_α\to ν_β)- P(\barν_α\to \barν_β)$ taking into account the CP violation effect of the Earth's crust. The matter effect is found to be small compared with the genuine CP violation term, in contrast with the three-neutrino model.

Free energy and entropy for thin sheets

description: We calculate the entropy and the temperature dependent part of the free energy for a free standing plane plasma sheet and for the a free standing plane slab of finite thickness with dispersion described by the plasma model. In case the plasma sheet describes a charged fluid, the entropy is positive. In case it describes a polarizable dipole sheet, the entropy takes negative values in a certain parameter region. Negative entropy is also observed for the slab, however with the reservation that the contribution from the surface plasmons was not accounted for.

Neutrino survival probabilities in magnetic fields

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We show that, for Majorana neutrinos propagating in a constant magnetic field, the flavour survival probabilities for left-handed neutrinos is the same as for right-handed neutrinos, i.e., $P^M (ν_{αL}\toν_{αL}) = P^M (ν_{αR}\toν_{αR})$, where $α= e, μ, τ$, whereas in the Dirac case the corresponding probabilities $P^D (ν_{αL}\toν_{αL})$ and $P^D (\barν_{αR}\to\barν_{αR})$ are in general different. This might lead to a novel way to search for the nature of neutrinos. We also discuss how this relation for Majorana neutrinos gets modified when the magnetic field is not constant. However, if matter effects become important the relation does not hold anymore.

description: We report an investigation of the graphene/substrate interface morphology in large-area polycrystalline graphene grown by chemical-vapour deposition and wet-transferred onto Si wafers. We combined spectroscopic ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic-force microscopy in order to yield morphological and chemical information about the system. The data showed that wet-transferred samples may randomly exhibit nanosized relief patterns indicative of small water nanopockets trapped between graphene and the underlying substrate. These pockets affect the adhesion of graphene to the substrate, but can be efficiently removed upon a mild annealing in high vacuum. We show that ellipsometry is capable of successfully and reliably detecting, via multilayer dielectric modelling, both the presence of such a spurious intercalation layer and its removal. The fast, broadly applicable and non-invasive character of this technique can therefore promote its application for quickly and reliably assessing the degree of adhesion of graphene transferred onto target substrates, either for ex-post evaluation or in-line process monitoring.

The Durham/UKST Galaxy Redshift Survey - II. The Field Galaxy Luminosity Function

description: We present the results for the galaxy luminosity function as estimated from the Durham/UKST Galaxy Redshift Survey. This survey is magnitude limited to bj = 17, contains 2500 galaxies sampled at a rate of one in three and surveys a 4 x 10^6 Mpc^3 volume of space. The maximum likelihood parameters for a standard Schechter luminosity function are estimated to be M*bj = -19.72+-0.09, alpha = -1.14+-0.08 and phi* = (1.2 +- 0.2) x 10^-2 ( h^3Mpc^-3). A comparison with galaxy luminosity functions from other redshift surveys shows good agreement and the shape of the luminosity function now appears well-defined down to Mbj = -17. There are some discrepancies between the different surveys for galaxies fainter than this absolute magnitude. However, our estimate agrees well with that from the APM-Stromlo Galaxy Redshift Survey and we measure a fairly flat faint end slope.

description: Glamour is often understood as a capitalist technology of allure and as a device with which women are objectified. The consumption glamour has also been theorized as representing a refusal to be imprisoned by the norms of gender, class, and race, as well as a form of escape from everyday life. In this article, I explore the attractiveness of glamour both as a technique of feminine performance and as a technique of capitalism. By defining and historicizing the aesthetic, I consider if, and how, glamour could be utilized to strengthen a feminist politics. I argue that glamour has become more salient in a contemporary context in which the myth of natural beauty has generally been debunked, and in which the performance of femininity constantly refers to its own artifice. Through analysis of examples of the material practices of glamour, such as putting on lipstick, wearing high-heel shoes, and drinking cocktails, I suggest that glamour works as an imaginative resource by both triggering a sense of the already enjoyed and provoking idealized visions of the future. I document how everyday experiences of glamour involve the acknowledgement of artifice, fantasies of ‘the good life’, and inevitable failure. I argue that these qualities make glamour a powerful existing resource that can be used to explore how femininity functions and to speculate about the future of feminism. Just as feminist discourses have been incorporated and reterritorialized by capitalism, I suggest that feminism could incorporate and reterritorialize the material practices of glamour in order to counter capitalist neoliberal imperatives. I explore how speculative design could allow feminists to use existing optimistic attachments, such as glamour, to think beyond capitalism.
Quantum contextuality for a three-level system sans realist model

description: Recently, an interesting form of non-classical effect which can be considered as a form of contextuality within quantum mechanics, has been demonstrated for a four-level system by discriminating the different routes that are taken for measuring a single observable. In this paper, we provide a simpler version of that proof for a single qutrit, which is also within the formalism of quantum mechanics and without recourse to any realist hidden variable model. The degeneracy of the eigenvalues and the L$\ddot{u}$der projection rule play important role in our proof.
