description: Velocity distribution functions link the micro- and macro-level theories of fluid flow through porous media. Here we study them for the fluid absolute velocity and its longitudinal and lateral components relative to the macroscopic flow direction in a model of a random porous medium. We claim that all distributions follow the power exponential law controlled by an exponent $γ$ and a shift parameter $u_0$ and examine how these parameters depend on the porosity. We find that $γ$ has a universal value $1/2$ at the percolation threshold and grows with the porosity, but never exceeds 2.

description: A general framework is developed to investigate the properties of useful choices of stationary spacelike slicings of stationary spacetimes whose congruences of timelike orthogonal trajectories are interpreted as the world lines of an associated family of observers, the kinematical properties of which in turn may be used to geometrically characterize the original slicings. On the other hand properties of the slicings themselves can directly characterize their utility motivated instead by other considerations like the initial value and evolution problems in the 3-plus-1 approach to general relativity. An attempt is made to categorize the various slicing conditions or "time gauges" used in the literature for the most familiar stationary spacetimes: black holes and their flat spacetime limit.

description: openCost beschreibt die Umsetzung einer Open Access-Vision in den Organisationsstrukturen wissenschaftlicher Einrichtungen, die zur Reform des wissenschaftlichen Publikationswesens beitragen will: Die Herstellung der umfassenden Kostentransparenz im wissenschaftlichen Publikationsprozess.Dazu etabliert openCost eine technische Infrastruktur, in der Publikationskosten über automatisierte, standardisierte Schnittstellen und Formate frei zugänglich ausgetauscht werden.Das übergeordnete Projektziel ist das Ermöglichen einer standardisierten Erfassung und offenen Bereitstellung von Publikationskosten und Verlagsvereinbarungen, um die Kostentransparenz innerhalb einer Institution zu verbessern und auch interinstitutionelle Kostenvergleiche zu erlauben. Dabei gilt es, nicht nur die Article Processing Charges, sondern alle publikationsbezogenen Gebühren, wie zum Beispiel Einreichung- oder Farbgebühren sowie durch Transformationsverträge oder Mitgliedschaften bedingte Kosten, normiert und strukturiert zu erfassen.Kostendaten sollen unmittelbar in Repositorien auf Datensatzebene integriert und zusammen mit den bestehenden bibliografischen Metadaten zugänglich gemacht werden.Hierzu entwickeln wir unter Einbeziehung internationaler Expertise ein standardisiertes Metadatenschema, das Publikationskosten strukturiert abbildet und einen einfachen Datenaustausch erlaubt. Jenes Metadatenschema, dessen jüngste Version bereits technisch in den Systemen der Partnerinstitutionen integriert ist, soll inhaltlich vorgestellt werden. Normierte Vokabulare, Identifikatoren oder konsensfähige Definitionen sind Themen im Erarbeitungsprozess und fortlaufender öffentlicher Diskussions- und Feedbackrunden, die openCost auf seine Agenda schreibt, um praxistaugliche Ergebnisse zu erzielen.Zum einfachen, offenen Datenaustausch definiert openCost zudem eine Harvesting-Schnittstelle. Wir stellen vor, wie mithilfe der etablierten OAI-PMH-Schnittstelle bereits eine Infrastruktur des Kostenaustauschs aufgebaut wurde:Repositorien bieten das normierte openCost-Format an, das es diversen Aggregatoren (Projekte, Forschungsfördernde, etc.) erlaubt, die Publikationsdaten einzusammeln, weiterzuverarbeiten und schließlich weitreichende Kostentransparenz sicherzustellen. Die praktische Implementierung der openCost-Idee kann am Beispiel der Publikationsserver der Universitäten Bielefeld, Regensburg sowie der Partnerinstitutionen von JOIN², zu denen auch DESY zählt, und durch bereits realisierte Aktions- und Serviceerweiterungen der Initiativen OpenAPC und EZB nachvollzogen werden.Gefördert von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (457354095) wurde openCost im Jahr 2022 von den drei Projektpartnern Universitätsbibliothek Bielefeld, Universitätsbibliothek Regensburg und DESY Zentralbibliothek ins Leben gerufen.

description: Facial expression is temporally dynamic event which can be decomposed into a set of muscle motions occurring in different facial regions over various time intervals. For dynamic expression recognition, two key issues, temporal alignment and semantics-aware dynamic representation, must be taken into account. In this paper, we attempt to solve both problems via manifold modeling of videos based on a novel mid-level representation, i.e. \textbf{expressionlet}. Specifically, our method contains three key stages: 1) each expression video clip is characterized as a spatial-temporal manifold (STM) formed by dense low-level features; 2) a Universal Manifold Model (UMM) is learned over all low-level features and represented as a set of local modes to statistically unify all the STMs. 3) the local modes on each STM can be instantiated by fitting to UMM, and the corresponding expressionlet is constructed by modeling the variations in each local mode. With above strategy, expression videos are naturally aligned both spatially and temporally. To enhance the discriminative power, the expressionlet-based STM representation is further processed with discriminant embedding. Our method is evaluated on four public expression databases, CK+, MMI, Oulu-CASIA, and FERA. In all cases, our method outperforms the known state-of-the-art by a large margin.

Making a Medley: Genre and Form in Music Arranged for Figure Skating Programs
Creators: name: Orita, Helen

Year: 2017

description: Whether it be the abbreviated version of Aaron Copland’s Rodeo on an episode of Dancing With The Stars or when Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana is played in television commercials, music arranged to meet externally-imposed time constraints and narratives challenges extant understandings of genre and musical form. While pervasive in popular culture, analysis of such multimedia products does not address how this music is arranged with respect to source materials. Taking figure skating music as a case study, this thesis analyzes the relationship between musical form, musical narrative, skating narrative, and genre. For three distinct musical genres used in ice skating—popular music medleys, abridged film scores, and condensed classical works—this thesis analyzes the treatment of musical form, revealing distinct genre-specific models and explaining the traditions and fan reception that have given rise to these different treatments of form within a common context.

Does the choice of the forcing term affect flow statistics in DNS of turbulent channel flow?

name: Frohnapfel, Bettina
name: Hasegawa, Yosuke
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We seek possible statistical consequences of the way a forcing term is added to the Navier--Stokes equations in the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of incompressible channel flow. Simulations driven by constant flow rate, constant pressure gradient and constant power input are used to build large databases, and in particular to store the complete temporal trace of the wall-shear stress for later analysis. As these approaches correspond to different dynamical systems, it can in principle be envisaged that these differences are reflect by certain statistics of the turbulent flow field. The instantaneous realizations of the flow in the various simulations are obviously different, but, as expected, the usual one-point, one-time statistics do not show any appreciable difference. However, the PDF for the fluctuations of the streamwise component of wall friction reveals that the simulation with constant flow rate presents lower probabilities for extreme events of large positive friction. The low probability value of such events explains their negligible contribution to the commonly computed statistics; however, the very existence of a difference in the PDF demonstrates that the forcing term is not entirely uninfluential. Other statistics for wall-based quantities (the two components of friction and pressure) are examined; in particular spatio-temporal autocorrelations show small differences at large temporal separations, where unfortunately the residual statistical uncertainty is still of the same order of the observed difference. Hence we suggest that the specific choice of the forcing term does not produce important statistical consequences, unless one is interested in the strongest events of high wall friction, that are underestimated by a simulation run at constant flow rate.

Massless Dirac particles in the vacuum C-metric

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We study the behavior of massless Dirac particles in the vacuum C-metric spacetime, representing the nonlinear superposition of the Schwarzschild black hole solution and the Rindler flat spacetime associated with uniformly accelerated observers. Under certain conditions, the C-metric can be considered as a unique laboratory to test the coupling between intrinsic properties of particles and fields with the background acceleration in the full (exact) strong-field regime. The Dirac equation is separable by using, e.g., a spherical-like coordinate system, reducing the problem to one-dimensional radial and angular parts. Both radial and angular equations can be solved exactly in terms of general Heun functions. We also provide perturbative solutions to first-order in a suitably defined acceleration parameter, and compute the acceleration-induced corrections to the particle absorption rate as well as to the angle-averaged cross section of the associated scattering problem in the low-frequency limit. Furthermore, we show that the angular eigenvalue problem can be put in one-to-one correspondence with the analogous problem for a Kerr spacetime, by identifying a map between these "acceleration" harmonics and Kerr spheroidal harmonics. Finally, in this respect we discuss the nature of the coupling between intrinsic spin and spacetime acceleration in comparison with the well known Kerr spin-rotation coupling.

description: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of rhythmic tracking in those with language and reading disorders. The measures of interest for this review are neural measures (EEG or MEG) assessing coherence or entrainment. Objectives: 1) Determine whether the findings demonstrate that neural rhythmic tracking is: i) Different in those with RD compared to those who are typical readers. ii) Different in those with DLD compared to those without DLD. 2) Compare differences in findings between RD and DLD. 3) Determine what research has already been conducted and where more research is needed. The studies included must compare typically developing adults or children to participants with RD and DLD, must have a neural measure assessing rhythmic tracking, and report original empirical findings. Four databases that have been deemed the most relevant will be searched; Web of Science, PsycInfo (ProQuest), Dissertations and Theses (ProQuest), and PubMed. The following is an example of the Boolean search: (“rhythmic tracking” or entrainment or “phase coherence” or “cortical processing” or “cortical tracking” or “speech tracking” or phase-lock* or “speech envelope” or “temporal processing”) AND (“reading dis*” or dyslexia or “reading impair*” or “reading delay” or “language impair*” or “language dis*” or “language delay”) The articles will be uploaded onto Covidence. Any duplicate articles will be eliminated. Another reviewer and I will be independently reviewing and selecting the studies based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Following this, the relevant information will be extracted. For the meta-analysis, I will conduct a random effects analysis to test the differences in the outcome measures. Hedge’s g will be calculated using the extracted results.
Peculiarities of qubit initial-state preparation by nonselective measurements on an overcomplete basis
Creators: name: Ignatyuk, V. V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the qubit initial state preparation due to the nonselective measurements on an overcomplete basis, when the number of outcomes $N=3$. To be specific, we have chosen the dephasing model and applied the conditions for a post-measurement state to ensure a gradual coherence enhancement at the initial stage of the system evolution. It is shown that contrary to the von Neumann-Lüders projection scheme with $N=2$, the most mixed post-measurement state of the qubit in the general case can depend on the bath temperature. This remarkable feature allows one to consider a ``temperature controlled'' initial purification of the open quantum system. We also consider some kinds of the repeated nonselective measurements from the viewpoint of an eventual system purification and analyze the important peculiarities of such schemes.

description: The tree-cut width of a graph is a graph parameter defined by Wollan [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B, 110:47-66, 2015] with the help of tree-cut decompositions. In certain cases, tree-cut width appears to be more adequate than treewidth as an invariant that, when bounded, can accelerate the resolution of intractable problems. While designing algorithms for problems with bounded tree-cut width, it is important to have a parametrically tractable way to compute the exact value of this parameter or, at least, some constant approximation of it. In this paper we give a parameterized 2-approximation algorithm for the computation of tree-cut width; for an input $n$-vertex graph $G$ and an integer $w$, our algorithm either confirms that the tree-cut width of $G$ is more than $w$ or returns a tree-cut decomposition of $G$ certifying that its tree-cut width is at most $2w$, in time $2^{O(w^2\log w)} \cdot n^2$. Prior to this work, no constructive parameterized algorithms, even approximated ones, existed for computing the tree-cut width of a graph. As a consequence of the Graph Minors series by Robertson and Seymour, only the existence of a decision algorithm was known.

description: Debris disks are signposts of analogues to small body populations of the Solar System, often however with much higher masses and dust production rates. The disk associated with the nearby star Eta Corvi is especially striking as it shows strong mid- and far-infrared excesses despite an age of ~1.4 Gyr. We undertake to construct a consistent model of the system able to explain a diverse collection of spatial and spectral data. We analyze Keck Interferometer Nuller measurements and revisit Spitzer and additional spectro-photometric data, as well as resolved Herschel images to determine the dust spatial distribution in the inner exozodi and in the outer belt. We model in detail the two-component disk and the dust properties from the sub-AU scale to the outermost regions by fitting simultaneously all measurements against a large parameter space. The properties of the cold belt are consistent with a collisional cascade in a reservoir of ice-free planetesimals at 133 AU. It shows marginal evidence for asymmetries along the major axis. KIN enables us to establish that the warm dust consists in a ring that peaks between 0.2 and 0.8 AU. To reconcile this location with the ~400 K dust temperature, very high albedo dust must be invoked and a distribution of forsterite grains starting from micron sizes satisfies this criterion while providing an excellent fit to the spectrum. We discuss additional constraints from the LBTI and near-infrared spectra, and we present predictions of what JWST can unveil about this unusual object and whether it can detect unseen planets.

Estimating non-circular motions in barred galaxies using numerical N-body simulations

description: The observed velocities of the gas in barred galaxies are a combination of the azimuthally-averaged circular velocity and non-circular motions, primarily caused by gas streaming along the bar. These non-circular flows must be accounted for before the observed velocities can be used in mass modeling. In this work, we examine the performance of the tilted-ring method and the DiskFit algorithm for transforming velocity maps of barred spiral galaxies into rotation curves (RCs) using simulated data. We find that the tilted-ring method, which does not account for streaming motions, under/over-estimates the circular motions when the bar is parallel/perpendicular to the projected major axis. DiskFit, which does include streaming motions, is limited to orientations where the bar is not-aligned with either the major or minor axis of the image. Therefore, we propose a method of correcting RCs based on numerical simulations of galaxies. We correct the RC derived from the tilted-ring method based on a numerical simulation of a galaxy with similar properties and projections as the observed galaxy. Using observations of NGC 3319, which has a bar aligned with the major axis, as a test case, we show that the inferred mass models from the uncorrected and corrected RCs are significantly different. These results show the importance of correcting for the non-circular motions and demonstrate that new methods of accounting for these motions are necessary as current methods fail for specific bar alignments.

Methods: Our cross-sectional survey in informal settlement areas in Mumbai, India, asked women aged 18-49 years 15 questions about acquisition, use, and maintenance of economic resources, demographic and socioeconomic factors, and physical, sexual, and emotional violence. We administered the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) and Generalised Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) scales and asked about suicidal thinking. Determinants of economic abuse and its associations with positive screens for depression and anxiety were explored in univariable and multivariable logistic regression models. Results: Of 4906 ever-married women respondents, 23% reported at least one form of economic abuse by either an intimate partner or another family member. The commonest were denial of property rights (10%), not being trusted with money (8%), and coercive appropriation of belongings (7%). Economic abuse was more commonly reported by widowed, separated, or divorced women than by married women (aOR 12.4; 95% CI 6.4, 24.1), and when their partners used alcohol or drugs (aOR 1.4; 95% CI 1.2-1.7). Women had greater odds of reporting economic abuse if they had suffered emotional (aOR 6.3; 95% CI 5.0-7.9), physical (aOR 1.9; 95% CI 1.4-2.6), or sexual violence (aOR 5.4; 95% CI 3.6-8.1) in the preceding 12 months. Economic abuse was independently associated with positive screens for moderate-severe depression (aOR 2.6; 95% CI 2.0-3.4), anxiety (aOR 2.7; 95% CI 1.9-3.8), and suicidal ideation (aOR 2.2; 95% CI 1.5-3.1). The odds of anxiety and depression increased with each additional form of economic abuse. Discussion: To our knowledge, this is the first community-based study in India of the prevalence of economic abuse and its associations with symptoms of common mental disorders. It provides empirical support for the idea that economic abuse is at least as harmful to women's mental health as physical violence. Surveys should include questions on economic abuse and prevention and intervention strategies need to help survivors to understand its forms.
Inter-media agenda setting role of the blogosphere: a content analysis of the Reuters photo controversy coverage during the Israel-Lebanon Conflict in 2006 Coverage During the Israel-Lebanon Conflict in 2006

description: On August 5, 2006, blogger Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs wrote in his blog that one of the images by Adnan Hajj, a Reuters photographer, showed blatant evidence of manipulation. The photograph depicted smoke rising over Beirut after an Israeli air strike. The smoke was altered using the cloning tool in Adobe® Photoshop® to achieve a more dramatic effect. The purpose of this study is to compare mainstream media coverage of this incident with that of the blogosphere. Qualitative content analysis is used to describe the relationship. The study demonstrates that the blogosphere has potentially both set and built the agenda for the media coverage of the Reuters controversy in the mainstream media. Also, both media platforms covered the same themes, but described them from different angles.

description: The eigenvalues of the normalized Laplacian of a graph provide information on its topological and structural characteristics and also on some relevant dynamical aspects, specifically in relation to random walks. In this paper we determine the spectra of the normalized Laplacian of iterated triangulations of a generic simple connected graph. As an application, we also find closed-forms for their multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff index, Kemeny's constant and number of spanning trees.
Unconfounding the Roles of Retinotopic and Spatiotopic Coordinates in Location Suppression_V2

description: We have decided to follow up our experiment with a second experiment. Results from the previous experiment supported that distractor suppression happens in retinotopic space, however we failed to find any significant target suppression effects. In order to replicate the target effects found in the location suppression literature, we have adapted our task to contain a target singleton in hopes of engaging singleton detection mode for greater target capture effects. This type of design is prevalent in the current literature and could explain why we failed to find the target suppression effects in the previous experiment. An explanation of the design changes can be found in "summary." At the time of this preregistration data has been collected, but not analyzed.

description: Spatially averaged (> 50'') EUV spectral lines in the transition region of solar quiet regions are known to be redshifted. Because the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is unclear, we require additional physical information on the lower corona for limiting the theoretical models. To acquire this information, we measured the Doppler shifts over a wide coronal temperature range (log T[K]=5.7--6.3) using the spectroscopic data taken by the Hinode EUV Imaging Spectrometer. By analyzing the data over the center-to-limb variations covering the meridian from the south to the north pole, we successfully measured the velocity to an accuracy of 3 km/s. Below log T[K] = 6.0, the Doppler shifts of the emission lines were almost zero with an error of 1--3 km/s; above this temperature, they were blueshifted with a gradually increasing magnitude, reaching - 6.3 +/- 2.1 km/s at log T[K]=6.25.

description: Lower limb injuries are frequently sustained by runners, but how and why they occur, as well as why some individuals are more prone to injury than others is not fully understood.1 Because the foot serves as the stable base for the kinetic chain, it is responsible for maintaining foot positioning and stability of the body during both gait and stance. Previous research shows that improper foot postures and poor foot mechanics can be traced back to poor foot intrinsic muscle functioning.2,3 The purpose of this study is to evaluate the foot intrinsic and surrounding musculature in various ways to look at its relationship to lower leg injury, as well as determine how it correlates to scores of lower extremity injury screening tools in order to attempt to determine the relationship of foot core musculature to previous shin pain and lower leg injury, as well as lower extremity injury screening tools.

description: We present a comprehensive study of one method for measuring various parameters of global modes of oscillation of the Sun. Using velocity data taken by the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI), we analyze spherical harmonic degrees l <= 300. Both current and historical methodologies are explained, and the various differences between the two are investigated to determine their effects on global-mode parameters and systematic errors in the analysis. These differences include a number of geometric corrections made during spherical harmonic decomposition; updated routines for generating window functions, detrending timeseries, and filling gaps; and consideration of physical effects such as mode profile asymmetry, horizontal displacement at the solar surface, and distortion of eigenfunctions by differential rotation. We apply these changes one by one to three years of data, and then reanalyze the entire MDI mission applying all of them, using both the original 72-day long timeseries and 360-day long timeseries. We find significant changes in mode parameters, both as a result of the various changes to the processing, as well as between the 72-day and 360-day analyses. We find reduced residuals of inversions for internal rotation, but seeming artifacts remain, such as the peak in the rotation rate near the surface at high latitudes. An annual periodicity in the f-mode frequencies is also investigated.
