description: We compare properties of galaxies in loose groups with those in field environment by analyzing the Nearby Optical Galaxy (NOG) catalog of galaxy systems. We consider as group galaxies, objects belonging to systems with at least five members identified by means of the "friends of friends method", and, as field galaxies, all galaxies with no companions. We analyze both a magnitude--limited sample of 959 and 2035 galaxies (groups vs. field galaxies, respectively, B<14 mag, and 2000

description: Materials can be modified for improved functionality. Our aim was to test whether pulmonary toxicity of silica nanomaterials is increased by the introduction of: a) porosity; and b) surface doping with CuO; and whether c) these modifications act synergistically. Mice were exposed by intratracheal instillation and for some doses also oropharyngeal aspiration to: 1) solid silica 100 nm; 2) porous silica 100 nm; 3) porous silica 100 nm with CuO doping; 4) solid silica 300 nm; 5) porous silica 300 nm; 6) solid silica 300 nm with CuO doping; 7) porous silica 300 nm with CuO doping; 8) CuO nanoparticles 9.8 nm; or 9) carbon black Printex 90 as benchmark. Based on a pilot study, dose levels were between 0.5 and 162 µg/mouse (0.2 and 8.1 mg/kg bw). Endpoints included pulmonary inflammation (neutrophil numbers in bronchoalveolar fluid), acute phase response, histopathology, and genotoxicity assessed by the comet assay, micronucleus test, and the gamma-H2AX assay. The porous silica materials induced greater pulmonary inflammation than their solid counterparts. A similar pattern was seen for acute phase response induction and histologic changes. This could be explained by a higher specific surface area per mass unit for the most toxic particles. CuO doping further increased the acute phase response normalized according to the deposited surface area. We identified no consistent evidence of synergism between surface area and CuO doping. In conclusion, porosity and CuO doping each increased the toxicity of silica nanomaterials and there was no indication of synergy when the modifications co-occurred.

description: This paper explores different ways to render world-wide geographic maps in virtual reality (VR). We compare: (a) a 3D exocentric globe, where the user's viewpoint is outside the globe; (b) a flat map (rendered to a plane in VR); (c) an egocentric 3D globe, with the viewpoint inside the globe; and (d) a curved map, created by projecting the map onto a section of a sphere which curves around the user. In all four visualisations the geographic centre can be smoothly adjusted with a standard handheld VR controller and the user, through a head-tracked headset, can physically move around the visualisation. For distance comparison, exocentric globe is more accurate than egocentric globe and flat map. For area comparison, more time is required with exocentric and egocentric globes than with flat and curved maps. For direction estimation, the exocentric globe is more accurate and faster than the other visual presentations. Our study participants had a weak preference for the exocentric globe. Generally, the curved map had benefits over the flat map. In almost all cases the egocentric globe was found to be the least effective visualisation. Overall, our results provide support for the use of exocentric globes for geographic visualisation in mixed-reality.

description: We present a theory for the equilibrium structure of polyelectrolyte solutions. The main element is a simple, new optimization scheme that allows theories such as the random phase approximation (RPA) to handle the harsh repulsive forces present in such systems. Comparison is made with data from recent neutron scattering experiments of randomly charged, hydrophilic polymers in salt-free, semi-dilute solution at various charge densities. Models with varying degrees of realism are examined. The usual explanation of the invariance observed at high charge density has been counterion condensation. However, when polymer-polymer correlations are treated properly, we find that modeling polymer-counterion correlations at the level of Debye-Huckel theory is sufficient.

description: Montenegro has turned to the service sector in the last two decades and agriculture is largely neglected. The neglect of agriculture has a negative effect on the creation of GDP, employment, current account deficit (of balance of payment) and starting of migrations from rural to urban areas of the country. The authors of this paper set up two goals. First to do an analysis of the situation in agriculture from macroeconomic and accounting aspect. Second goal is to provide policy recommendations for improving situation in agriculture of Montenegro on the bases of the obtained results. The authors used the base of the final accounts of Central Bank of Montenegro for the calculation of the most important ratio indicators. Key recommendations relate to the credit support to agricultural sector, increasing amount of subventions, granting of tax benefits, raising the degree of technical equipment and application of agro-technical measures, as well as the improvement of general living conditions in rural areas.

Chebyshev expansion approach to the AC conductivity of the Anderson model

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose an advanced Chebyshev expansion method for the numerical calculation of linear response functions at finite temperature. Its high stability and the small required resources allow for a comprehensive study of the optical conductivity $σ(ω)$ of non-interacting electrons in a random potential (Anderson model) on large three-dimensional clusters. For low frequency the data follows the analytically expected power-law behaviour with an exponent that depends on disorder and has its minimum near the metal-insulator transition, where also the extrapolated DC conductivity continuously goes to zero. In view of the general applicability of the Chebyshev approach we briefly discuss its formulation for interacting quantum systems.

Scaling Distributions of Quarks, Mesons and Proton for all $p_T$, Energy and Centrality

description: We present the evidences for the existence of a universal scaling behavior of the production of $π^0$ at all transverse momenta in heavy-ion collisions at all centralities and all collision energies. The corresponding scaling behavior of the quarks is then derived just before the quarks recombine with antiquarks to form the pions. The degradation effect of the dense medium on the quark $p_T$ is derived from the scaling distribution. In the recombination model it is then possible to calculate the $p_T$ distributions of the produced proton and kaon, which are scaling also. Experimentally verifiable predictions are made. Implications of the existence of the scaling behavior are discussed.

description: The paper reviews some of the key principles of a territorial approach to rural development and particular aspects of regional rural development. Some features of the EU Leader initiative were analysed as examples of the approach, and the social context and factors which may affect the application of these features in regional rural development were identified. The paper concludes by emphasising the need for different rural policies and preconditions for implementing the territorial approach. Moreover, available resources of rural areas were emphasised as well as the need for perceiving rural areas as (valuable) resources (not as issues), particularly in the context of Serbian rural development processes.

description: Immersive virtual- and augmented-reality headsets can overlay a flat image against any surface or hang virtual objects in the space around the user. The technology is rapidly improving and may, in the long term, replace traditional flat panel displays in many situations. When displays are no longer intrinsically flat, how should we use the space around the user for abstract data visualisation? In this paper, we ask this question with respect to origin-destination flow data in a global geographic context. We report on the findings of three studies exploring different spatial encodings for flow maps. The first experiment focuses on different 2D and 3D encodings for flows on flat maps. We find that participants are significantly more accurate with raised flow paths whose height is proportional to flow distance but fastest with traditional straight line 2D flows. In our second and third experiment, we compared flat maps, 3D globes and a novel interactive design we call MapsLink, involving a pair of linked flat maps. We find that participants took significantly more time with MapsLink than other flow maps while the 3D globe with raised flows was the fastest, most accurate, and most preferred method. Our work suggests that careful use of the third spatial dimension can resolve visual clutter in complex flow maps.

description: Nitrate pollution has become an environmental problem of global concern. One effective way for controlling the nitrate pollution of water is to identify the pollution source and reduce the input of nitrate. This study traces and quantifies the sources of nitrate contamination to groundwater and surface water in the northeastern suburbs of Beijing, where an emergency groundwater source zone is located. Nitrogen and oxygen stable isotope analysis, geospatial analysis techniques, principal component analysis, correlation analysis, and a Bayesian isotope mixing model were used to achieve our goals. The results show that the main sources of nitrate pollution in groundwater were manure and sewage (M&S) (42.6 %) > soil nitrogen (SN) (26.6 %) > NH4+ in fertilizer and rain (NHF&R) (24.5 %) > NO3− fertilizer (NOF) (5.0 %) > NO3− in atmospheric deposition (NAD) (1.3 %), and main sources of nitrate in surface water were M&S (28.8 %) > SN (20.4 %) > NAD (19.8%) > NOF (16.5%) > NHF&R (14.5 %). Due to the high permeability of the aquifer in the study area, there was a strong hydraulic connection between groundwater and surface water. The discharge of treated wastewater (reclaimed water) into the mostly dried river channel in the study area might aggravate nitrate pollution in the groundwater.
Signature of small rings in the Raman spectra of normal and compressed amorphous silica: A combined classical and ab initio study

description: We calculate the parallel (VV) and perpendicular (VH) polarized Raman spectra of amorphous silica. Model SiO2 glasses, uncompressed and compressed, were generated by a combination of classical and ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations and their dynamical matrices were computed within the framework of the density functional theory. The Raman scattering intensities were determined using the bond-polarizability model and a good agreement with experimental spectra was found. We confirm that the modes associated to the fourfold and threefold rings produce most of the Raman intensity of the D1 and D2 peaks, respectively, in the VV Raman spectra. Modifications of the Raman spectra upon compression are found to be in agreement with experimental data. We show that the modes associated to the fourfold rings still exist upon compression but do not produce a strong Raman intensity, whereas the ones associated to the threefold rings do. This result strongly suggests that the area under the D1 and D2 peaks is not directly proportional to the concentration of small rings in amorphous SiO2.

description: Nanodiamonds have been suggested as biocompatible materials and are suitable for various biomedical applications, but little is known about how to synthesize safer nanodiamonds. Herein, seven different detonation-synthesized nanodiamonds (DNDs) with sequential sp3/sp2 carbon ratios were assembled by controlling the chemical purification parameters and the role of sp3/sp2 carbon ratio on the toxicity of DNDs was investigated. Carbon black and nickel oxide nanoparticles were used as reference particles. The intrinsic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation potential of DNDs was estimated by a 2′7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) assay, and these values showed a good negative correlation with the sp3/sp2 carbon ratios, which implies that ROS generation increased as the sp3/sp2 carbon ratio decreased. As a model to investigate inflammogenic potential of DND samples, a rat intratracheal instillation model was used as the lung is very sensitive to nanoparticle exposures. The sp3/sp2 carbon ratios or the estimated values of ROS generation potential showed excellent linear correlations with the number of neutrophils and pro-inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid at 24 h after instillation. Treatment of DND samples to THP-1 derived macrophages also showed that the sp3/sp2 carbon ratios or the estimated values of ROS generation potential were closely related with the toxicity endpoints such as cell viability and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Taken together, these data demonstrate that the sp3/sp2 carbon ratio is the key determinant for the toxicity of DNDs, which can be a useful tool for the safer-by-design approach of DNDs and the safety assessment of carbon nanoparticles.

description: The time characterized by a public debt phenomenon in modern Serbia has been attached to the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX Century, when the battle for independence had caused growth of Serbian foreign debt. It is considered that the state’s contraction of debts at the National Bank4 has been old as well as the National Bank institution by its self. In other words, more before the Serbian National Bank’s counters were opened, there was made the state debt by approving the loan of 304,216 dinars in gold, on backing of the state treasury bills. Therefore was made the initial business transaction of the bank, which was done before its regular business activities.

description: The task of video captioning, that is, the automatic generation of sentences describing a sequence of actions in a video, has attracted an increasing attention recently. The complex and high-dimensional representation of video data makes it difficult for a typical encoder-decoder architectures to recognize relevant features and encode them in a proper format. Video data contains different modalities that can be recognized using a mix image, scene, action and audio features. In this paper, we characterize the different features affecting video descriptions and explore the interactions among these features and how they affect the final quality of a video representation. Building on existing encoder-decoder models that utilize limited range of video information, our comparisons show how the inclusion of multi-modal video features can make a significant effect on improving the quality of generated statements. The work is of special interest to scientists and practitioners who are using sequence-to-sequence models to generate video captions.

description: This review aims to elucidate the current knowledge and future research needs regarding the hazard potential of nanocellulose to human health. Growing interest from research and industry alike has led to increasing likelihood of human contact to the material via various exposure routes. Although a number of comprehensive reviews on human health hazards of nanocellulose have been conducted, this paper brings new insights as it systematically analyzes and quantitatively assesses the results of in vivo and in vitro tests in terms of investigated endpoints, tested concentration ranges, physicochemical properties, surface modifications and source of the tested nanocellulose, exposure route, and cell lines used. The quality of the studies is further inspected based on various established criteria. Considering the rapid development of nanocellulose-based products and the novelty of the material, human health studies remain scarce. By assessing those that have been conducted, patterns and gaps were identified that will be helpful to guide future research. The results show that there are still significant uncertainties remaining, particularly regarding in vivo testing, with pulmonary exposure showing some cause for concern. Although a substantial number of in vitro studies have been undertaken, results are often conflicting. The detected effects could not be directly attributed to size of nanoparticles, cell lines, surface modifications or tested concentrations. This may also be linked to the varying quality of the studies. This review ends by identifying key gaps to help pave the way for future research and ensure the safe development and use of nanocellulose.

description: The aim of this article is presented threats to food security in the context of the CAP after 2013. The main threats to food security are (1) world population growth, (2) the increase demand for food, (3) food price, (4) the disappearance of the variety of agricultural plant species (4) the increase in the area of scarcity water and the limitation of the availability of land and (5) the food losses and food waste. In the face of numerous threats to food security, the European Union needs a strong Common Agricultural Policy, which could succeed in feeding the constantly-growing population of a world. The reformed Common Agricultural Policy should provide food security, not only for the European Union, but on a global scale.

description: We study electronic structures of two-dimensional quantum dots in strong magnetic fields using mean-field density-functional theory and exact diagonalization. Our numerically accurate mean-field solutions show a reconstruction of the uniform-density electron droplet when the magnetic field flux quanta enter one by one the dot in stronger fields. These quanta correspond to repelling vortices forming polygonal clusters inside the dot. We find similar structures in the exact treatment of the problem using a new type of operator for the analysis. We discuss important differences and limitations of the methods used.

description: Although the microscopic origin of the superconductivity in high Tc copper oxides remains the subject of active inquiry, several of their electronic characteristics are well established as universal to all the known materials, forming the experimental foundation that all theories must address. The most fundamental of those characteristics is the dependence of the superconducting transition temperature on the degree of electronic band filling. Since the discovery of cuprate superconductivity in 1986 (1), the search for other families of superconductors that might help shed light on the superconducting mechanism of the cuprates has been of great interest. The recent report of superconductivity near 4K in the triangular lattice, layered sodium cobalt oxyhydrate, Na0.35CoO2.1.3H2O, is the best indication that superconductors related to the cuprates may be found (2). Here we show that the superconducting transition temperature of this compound displays the same kind of band-filling behavior that is observed in the cuprates. Specifically, that the optimal superconducting Tc occurs in a narrow range of band filling, and decreases for both underdoped and overdoped materials, in dramatic analogy to the phase diagram of the cuprate superconductors. Our results suggest that characterization of the detailed electronic and magnetic behavior of these new materials may help establish which of the many special characteristics of the cuprates is fundamental to their high Tc superconductivity.

description: The symmetron is a typical example of screened modified gravity, wherein the symmetron force is dynamically suppressed in dense environments. This allows it to hide in traditional tests of gravity. However, the past decade has seen great experimental progress towards measuring screened forces in the laboratory or in space. Screening relies on nonlinearities in the equation of motion, which significantly complicates the theoretical analysis of such forces. Here, we present a calculation of the symmetron force between a dense plate and sphere surrounded by vacuum. This is done via semi-analytical approaches in two limiting cases, based on the size of the sphere: large spheres are analyzed via the proximity force approximation, whilst small spheres are treated as screened test particles. In the intermediate regime we solve the problem numerically. Our results allow us to make contact with Casimir force experiments, which often employ a plate and sphere configuration for practical reasons, and may therefore be used to constrain symmetrons. We use our results to forecast constraints on the symmetron's parameters for a hypothetical Casimir experiment that is based on the current state of the art. The forecasts compare favorably to other leading laboratory tests of gravity, particularly atom interferometry and bouncing neutrons. We thus conclude that near-future Casimir experiments will be capable of placing tight new bounds on symmetrons. Our results for the symmetron force are derived in a scale-invariant way, such that although we here focus on Casimir experiments, they may be applied to any other plate-sphere system, ranging from microscopic to astrophysical scales.

description: There are various possibilities of fruit processing regarding assortments of both semiprocessed and finished fruit products. Within a wide assortment of processed fruit products, there are semi-processed fruit products which can be directly marketed or used as raw materials in further stages of processing, thus causing different economic effects. This paper displays the indicators of economic effects (production value, production costs (especially direct costs), and the difference between production value and total production costs) in all stages of a certain type of fruit processing. The obtained results indicate that advanced stages of fruit processing entail an increase in costs, but these increased costs eventually enable higher revenues. Fruit processing is cost-effective due to the fact that fruit processing value is higher than the market value of fruits. The fruit processing value in compote production is on average 48.87% higher than the fruit market value. In semi-processed fruit production (fruit puree and pitted crushed fruits Rotativa2), the fruit processing value is on average 14.83% higher than the fruit market value.

title: Atomistic modelling of crystalline and amorphous Cu-Zr and Si-O-C using machine learning interatomic potentials
Creators: name: Leimeroth, Niklas
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: Modelling and simulation on the atomic scale play a pivotal role for the understanding of complex materials. In this field, machine learning interatomic potentials
(MLIPs) are rapidly evolving tools, which allow the description of interatomic interactions with an accuracy approaching that of quantum mechanical methods. At the
same time, they are computationally much more efficient, opening the possibility
for large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with unprecedented fidelity.
However, current research in the field is often focused on methodical advancements
and uses simple single element test cases for this purpose. This thesis treats the
development and application of MLIPs, more specifically highly efficient Atomic
Cluster Expansion potentials (ACEPs), for structurally and chemically complex
systems, namely Cu-Zr and silicon oxycarbide (Si-O-C). Both are representatives
of important material classes, metals and glass-ceramics.
Cu-Zr has a plethora of intermetallic phases and is a well known metallic glass
(MG) former. The performance of the developed potential is compared to previously
published classical potentials and experimental data. Using the new MLIP, the
concentration-temperature phase diagram of the material is calculated and found
to be in good agreement with experiments. Furthermore, the MG structure is
investigated, revealing a massively different short-range order compared to classical
interatomic potentials (IPs), and tensile tests of a glass-crystal matrix sample show
the occurrence of martensitic phase transitions in B2-CuZr.
Si-O-C has a highly tunable composition and microstructure. Consequently,
training data for this material needs to cover a wide configuration space, which
is achieved with an active learning strategy based on structural units present in
the bulk material. The developed ACEP is the first publicly available IP for the
system and employed to investigate the atomistic structure and its relation to the
elastic properties. Contrary to common assumptions, graphite agglomerates in the
system are of low importance for the Young’s modulus. Instead, strong correlation
to SiO4 tetrahedra and SiC bonds are found.
Finally, different types of MLIPs are evaluated. During the work on Cu-Zr and
Si-O-C equivariant structure descriptions and message-passing graph neural networks emerged as promising methods to reach ever improving accuracies. Novel
NequIP, Allegro and MACE MLIPs implementing them are compared to the well
established High-Dimensional Neural Network Potentials (HDNNPs), Gaussian Approximation Potentials (GAPs), Moment Tensor Potentials (MTPs) and ACEPs.
The tests reveal the large data requirements for HDNNPs and emphasize the tradeoff between achievable accuracies and computational cost. ACEPs still represent a
good compromise in this regard.

description: In this paper, the authors strive to indicate some great possibilities for further development of rural areas in the wider zone of Corridor 10 in the Republic of Serbia. The significance of manufacturing and service clusters, networks and co-operations formed in rural areas, creating a large number of small and medium enterprises as a manner of running the entire industry through accelerated development of entrepreneurial initiative, is also stressed. A special kind of attention paid to the development of SMEs is a document from June 2008, adopted by the EU under the title:’’ A Small Business Act for Europe’’, with established principles and actions for operating in the section of small and medium-sized enterprises in the EU. The aspect of joining agricultural production and processing with service industry that could be implemented along the Corridor 10 is dominant in this paper. Clusters are networks of companies and institutions that complement each other creating cooperative supply chains, where food-service supply chains are especially stressed in the wider rural area of Corridor 10 with obligatory appliance of the European Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) standard, reaching over 7,000 notifications. Those notifications are related to potentially dangerous food or animal feeding and are issued by RASFF system founded by the European Commission.

description: The research aims at evaluating the accession impacts on Romania’s agriculture by analysing the comparative advantages in trade relations with EU. The method used the calculation of the trade specialization degree index constructed from the original Lafay index and adapted on the agricultural sector. While providing a rank of products by their level of specialization on the international market, the research results indicate a decrease of the specialization level and a loss in the trade diversification of the Romanian products. The assessments reveal that certain products previously expressing an export potential, have suffered in the post-accession period an important decline in their commercial specialization: such is the case of live animals and animal products, which, although still have positive trade balance, the net export amounts registered significant declines. The results identified similar loss for oilseeds, milk and dairy products.
