description: We explore vortex formation for Abelian projected SU(2) in the Polyakov gauge and compare the results with those calculated in the maximal Abelian gauge. In both gauges, a non-zero vacuum expectation value of a monopole field operator signals confinement. We find vortices in the Polyakov projection, confirming the connection between the dual superconductor order parameter and the existence of vortices. However we find that the Polyakov Abelian projection is problematic, leaving the maximal Abelian projection as the best candidate to define an effective theory of confinement in this scenario.

The SKA Science Data Processor (SDP): final design and getting ready for the construction phase
Creators: name: Guzman, Juan Carlos

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project is an international effort to build the world's largest radio telescope, led by the SKA Organisation based at the Jodrell Bank Observatory near Manchester, UK. The SKA will conduct transformational science to improve our understanding of the Universe and the laws of fundamental physics, monitoring the sky in unprecedented detail and mapping it hundreds of times faster than any current facility. On 12 March 2019, members of 7 countries signed the international treaty that marks the beginning of the establishment of the SKA Observatory as the intergovernmental organisation responsible of the delivery and operations of this new radio telescope. Currently almost all the elements of the SKA have completed its design work and the project is now moving towards the construction phase. The Science Data Processor (SDP) element finished its engineering design work at the end of March 2019 completing almost 5 years of designing the computing software and hardware systems responsible of processing the vast amount of data coming from the telescopes (~ 5 Tb/s). It is estimated that the SDP will produce and distribute approx. 1 PB of science-ready products per day to astronomers across the globe. This sheer amount of processing capability will be made possible by dedicated High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms deployed in Australia and South Africa for a combined peak processing power of approx. 250 PFLOPS. This design effort was completed by the SDP consortium, a collaboration of astrophysicists, engineers and computer scientists working in 11 countries worldwide and led by the University of Cambridge. This paper will present a status of the SKA project, a summary of the SDP design work and what lies ahead towards the construction phase.
Contraction of broken symmetries via Kac-Moody formalism

description: I investigate contractions via Kac-Moody formalism. In particular, I show how the symmetry algebra of the standard 2-D Kepler system, which was identified by Daboul and Slodowy as an infinite-dimensional Kac-Moody loop algebra, and was denoted by ${\mathbb H}_2 $, gets reduced by the symmetry breaking term, defined by the Hamiltonian \[ H(β)= \frac 1 {2m} (p_1^2+p_2^2)- \frac αr - βr^{-1/2} \cos ((ϕ-γ)/2). \] For this $H (β)$ I define two symmetry loop algebras ${\mathfrak L}_{i}(β), i=1,2$, by choosing the `basic generators' differently. These ${\mathfrak L}_{i}(β)$ can be mapped isomorphically onto subalgebras of ${\mathbb H}_2 $, of codimension 2 or 3, revealing the reduction of symmetry. Both factor algebras ${\mathfrak L}_i(β)/I_i(E,β)$, relative to the corresponding energy-dependent ideals $I_i(E,β)$, are isomorphic to ${\mathfrak so}(3)$ and ${\mathfrak so}(2,1)$ for $E<0$ and $E>0$, respectively, just as for the pure Kepler case. However, they yield two different non-standard contractions as $E \to 0$, namely to the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra ${\mathfrak h}_3={\mathfrak w}_1$ or to an abelian Lie algebra, instead of the Euclidean algebra ${\mathfrak e}(2)$ for the pure Kepler case. The above example suggests a general procedure for defining generalized contractions, and also illustrates the {\em `deformation contraction hysteresis'}, where contraction which involve two contraction parameters can yield different contracted algebras, if the limits are carried out in different order.

description: To give a general description of the influences of electric fields or currents on magnetization dynamics, we developed a semiclassical theory for the magnetization implicitly coupled to electronic degrees of freedom. In the absence of electric fields the Bloch electron Hamiltonian changes the Berry curvature, the effective magnetic field, and the damping in the dynamical equation of the magnetization, which we classify into intrinsic and extrinsic effects. Static electric fields modify these as first-order perturbations, using which we were able to give a physically clear interpretation of the current-induced spin-orbit torques. We used a toy model mimicking a ferromagnet-topological-insulator interface to illustrate the various effects, and predicted an anisotropic gyromagnetic ratio and the dynamical stability for an in-plane magnetization. Our formalism can also be applied to the slow dynamics of other order parameters in crystalline solids.

Propulsion Technology Options for Climate-Compliant Aircraft Design
Creators: name: Seitz, Arne
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Efficiency improvements and non-CO2 abatement are the key targets for reduced climate impact of advanced aircraft propulsion systems. This presentation provides an insight into propulsion technology options for climate-compliant aircraft design. In order to minimise climate impact, design and technology need to address the short-to-medium range (SMR) and long range (LR) market segments. Therefore, gas turbine technology remains the backbone of advanced propulsion for large aircraft. Revolutionary heat engine concepts building upon advanced gas turbine technology, such as the Composite Cycle Engine, may provide superb thermal efficiency but face great NOx challenges. The use of hydrogen fuel brings significant non-CO2 reduction potentials via advanced fuel cells. With clear limits in specific power at the system level, pure fuel cell based propulsion seems to be bound to small and regional turboprops. Hybrid systems that combine advanced fuel cell and gas turbine technology, however, may leverage fuel cell technology also for higher power classes. Water-integrated hybrid concepts utilise the fuel cell product water as a highly effective means for gas turbine NOx abatement and performance enhancement while the fuel cell electric power output can serve various onboard customers. Depending on the fuel cell size, scenarios ranging from a mere supply of the aircraft subsystems all the way up to most radical single gas turbine propulsion systems are conceivable. Pre-conceptual analysis shows: Propulsion system configurations featuring only a single gas turbine engine might be particularly attractive for SMR aircraft. Hybrid power systems with the fuel cell powering an aft-fuselage boundary layer ingesting fan could be highly efficient for LR applications as drag penalties from the onboard storage of liquid hydrogen can be counteracted most efficiently by such an arrangement.

description: The neutralino dark matter (DM) predicted by the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) has been probed in several search modes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), one of the leading ones among which is the trilepton plus missing transverse momentum channel. The experimental analysis of this mode has, however, been designed to probe mainly a bino-like DM, originating in the decays of a pair of next-to-lightest neutralino and lightest chargino, both of which are assumed to be wino-like. In this study, we analyse how this trilepton channel can be tuned for probing also the wino-like DM. We note that, while the mentioned standard production mode generally leads to a relatively poor sensitivity for the wino-like DM, there are regions in the MSSM parameter space where the net yield in the trilepton final state can be substantially enhanced at the LHC with $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV. This is achieved by taking into account also an alternative channel, pair-production of the wino-like DM itself in association with the heavier chargino, and optimisation of the kinematical cuts currently employed by the LHC collaborations. In particular, we find that the cut on the transverse mass of the third lepton highly suppresses both the signal channels and should therefore be discarded in this DM scenario. We perform a detailed detector-level study of some selected parameter space points that are consistent with the most important experimental constraints, including the recent ones from the direct and indirect DM detection facilities. Our analysis demonstrates the high complementarity of the two channels, with their combined significance reaching above 4$σ$ for a wino-like DM mass around 100 GeV, with an integrated luminosity as low as 100 fb$^{-1}$.

Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

description: Process analysis and hazard assessment are essential for the prevention and mitigation of debris-flow hazards in mountainous areas. Many villages and ongoing infrastructure projects in China are vulnerable to large debris flows during heavy rainfall or glacier lake outbursts. Without emergency management planning, such contingencies can lead to extensive loss of life and egregious property damage. In the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau area, debris-flow disasters are a common phenomenon. In this article, we analyzed the spatial distribution, activity and hazard characteristics of debris flows and established a debris-flow database by using geographic information technology. Moreover, we comprehensively analyzed the dynamic process of debris flow at a local scale, the compound effects of debris flows along riverside section and the disaster environment factors of debris flows overall scale of Sichuan-Tibet highway respectively. Accordingly, we built an applicable factor system and a comprehensive framework to quantitatively evaluate debris-flow hazard degree, and then proposed a multi-scale debris-flow hazard assessment method by analyzing typical large-scale debris-flow hazard, debris flows along riverside highway and debris flows in whole traffic corridor, respectively. Especially, with respect to typical large-scale debris-flow disaster, we proposed a dynamic process-based method to analyzed debris-flow hazard by using numerical simulation of debris flow, flood analysis, RS and GIS technology. In view of debris flows along riverside highway, we analyzed debris flow process and determined the hazard evaluation indexes and proposed a quantitative method of hazard assessment for debris flow along riverside highways. Regarding to debris flows along whole road, we proposed a quantitative method to analyze the hazard of debris flows and classified hazard levels in the debris- flow prone area along highways. Finally, these proposed methods were applied in case studies in a local scale (K3404 of G318), Xiqu river section and Sichuan-Tibet highway respectively. The results showed that the calculated risk zones consist with the actual distribution and severity of damage of the debris- flow events, which can provide scientific reference for debris-flow risk management and disaster prevention and mitigation of arterial traffic lines.

description: This quality improvement project addressed the challenge of providing sensory-based care to Autistic adults in an urban psychiatric hospital. Autistics often face difficulties in processing sensory information, affecting behavior and social interactions. Existing literature on sensory-based interventions in psychiatric units is limited, necessitating targeted interventions for Autistic adults. Educational sessions were conducted with nursing staff, with pre-intervention and post-intervention surveys assessing staff perceptions. Results demonstrated a medium effect size (0.382) and a twenty percent improvement (p = 0.001) in survey scores, indicating enhanced knowledge and comfort in sensory-based care. Qualitative analysis highlighted barriers, including a lack of education, bureaucratic challenges in obtaining tools, and concerns about increased workload. The project demonstrated the positive impact of the intervention, emphasizing the need for widespread, specialized training and standardized toolkits to support sensory-based care. Further research is warranted to deepen understanding and promote sustained improvements in providing quality care for Autistics in psychiatric settings.

A MeerKAT S-band view on the DEEP2 field
Creators: name: Ranchod, Shilpa
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The integration of S-band receivers into MeerKAT significantly enhances the telescope’s spectral coverage and angular resolution, allowing for the detailed study of morphologically interesting AGN and star-forming galaxies. In addition, it enables deeper observations for population studies of such sources, given the significantly lower confusion limit. We present the first continuum imaging results with the MeerKAT S-band, observations of the DEEP2 field in the S1 (1.96 -- 2.84 GHz) and S4 (2.62 -- 3.50 GHz) sub-bands using a total of 55 antennas. With an on-source integration time of just 65 min, the S1 (S4) image has an angular resolution of 7.1$^{\prime\prime}$ $\times$ 3.2$^{\prime\prime}$ (5.0$^{\prime\prime}$ $\times$ 2.2$^{\prime\prime}$) and a sensitivity of 8.7 (7.8) µJy/beam. We present the Euclidean-normalised source counts for this field, as well as an in-depth morphological comparison of resolved sources in both the L-band (Mauch+2020) and S-band images. These observations provide an important demonstration of the capabilities of the MeerKAT S-band with relatively short integration times, in comparison with existing S-band surveys, and speak to the rich scientific potential of future MeerKAT and MeerKAT+ full-Stokes S-band surveys.

description: Formulas are developed for use in lattice studies of charged hadron polarizabilities. In particular, the valence quark different-flavor component of the charged pion polarizability is examined on a $16^{3}\times 24$ lattice at $β=6.0$ using Wilson fermions. Using the elastic limit results of Part I of this series, it is concluded that this represents a small negative component of the full charged polarizabilty.

description: We report the observation of field emission from InP nanocrystals epitaxially grown on an array of p-Si nanotips. We prove that field emission can be enhanced by covering the InP nanocrystals with graphene. The measurements are performed inside a scanning electron microscope chamber with a nano-controlled W-thread used as an anode. We analyze the field emission by Fowler-Nordheim theory and find that the field enhancement factor increases monotonically with the spacing between the anode and the cathode. We also show that InP/p-Si junction has a rectifying behavior, while graphene on InP creates an ohmic contact. Understanding the fundamentals of such nanojunctions is key for applications in nanoelectronics.

Strategies for detecting long-lived particles at LHC experiments
Creators: name: Brij Kishor Jashal
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The detection of long-lived particles (LLPs) in high energy experiments are key for both the study of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and to search for new physics beyond it. Many interesting decay modes involve strange particles with large lifetimes such as Ks or L0s. Exotic LLP are also predicted in many new theoretical models. The selection and reconstruction of LLPs produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is a challenge. These particles can decay far from the primary interaction vertex and are hard to select by the trigger systems of the experiments and difficult to isolate from the SM backgrounds. In this talk several strategies followed by ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments are reviewed. The importance of new hardware architectures in the first stage of the high level trigger (HLT), making them more performant in terms of flexibility, speed and efficiency, is outlined. In particular, the use of accelerators for higher pile-up conditions during the HL-LHC era is presented.

description: We consider the Ising systems in $d$ dimensions with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic interactions and long-range repulsive (antiferromagnetic) interactions which decay with a power, $s$, of the distance. The physical context of such models is discussed; primarily this is $d=2$ and $s=3$ where, at long distances, genuine magnetic interactions between genuine magnetic dipoles are of this form. We prove that when the power of decay lies above $d$ and does not exceed $d+1$, then for all temperatures, the spontaneous magnetization is zero. In contrast, we also show that for powers exceeding $d+1$ (with $d\ge2$) magnetic order can occur.

description: We quantize the one-particle model of the ${\rm SU}(2|1)$ supersymmetric multi-particle mechanics with the additional semi-dynamical spin degrees of freedom. We find the relevant energy spectrum and the full set of physical states as functions of the mass-dimension deformation parameter $m$ and ${\rm SU}(2)$ spin $q \in \big( \mathbb{Z}_{>0}\,$, $1/2 + \mathbb{Z}_{\geqslant 0}\big)\,$. It is found that the states at the fixed energy level form irreducible multiplets of the supergroup ${\rm SU}(2|1)\,$. Also, the hidden superconformal symmetry ${\rm OSp}(4|2)$ of the model is revealed in the classical and quantum cases. We calculate the ${\rm OSp}(4|2)$ Casimir operators and demonstrate that the full set of the physical states belonging to different energy levels at fixed $q$ are unified into an irreducible ${\rm OSp}(4|2)$ multiplet.

description: We have mapped linearly polarized dust emission from the prestellar cores L1498 and L1517B with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) using the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) and its polarimeter SCUBAPOL at a wavelength of 850um. We use these measurements to determine the plane-of-sky magnetic field orientation in the cores. In L1498 we see a magnetic field across the peak of the core that lies at an offset of 19 degrees to the short axis of the core. This is similar to the offsets seen in previous observations of prestellar cores. To the southeast of the peak, in the filamentary tail of the core, we see that the magnetic field has rotated to lie almost parallel to the long axis of the filament. We hypothesise that the field in the core may have decoupled from the field in the filament that connects the core to the rest of the cloud. We use the Chandrasekhar-Fermi (CF) method to measure the plane-of-sky field strength in the core of L1498 to be 10 +/- 7 uG. In L1517B we see a more gradual turn in the field direction from the northern part of the core to the south. This appears to follow a twist in the filament in which the core is buried, with the field staying at a roughly constant 25 degree offset to the short axis of the filament, also consistent with previous observations of prestellar cores. We again use the CF method and calculate the magnetic field strength in L1517B also to be 30 +/- 10 uG. Both cores appear to be roughly virialised. Comparison with our previous work on somewhat denser cores shows that, for the denser cores, thermal and non-thermal (including magnetic) support are approximately equal, while for the lower density cores studied here, thermal support dominates.

DAQExpert - the service to increase CMS data-taking efficiency
Creators: name: Gladki, Maciej Szymon
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The Data Acquisition (DAQ) system of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at LHC is a complex system responsible for the data readout, event building and recording of accepted events. Its proper functioning plays a critical role in the data-taking efficiency of the CMS experiment. In order to ensure high availability and recover promptly in the event of hardware or software failure of the subsystems, an expert system, the DAQ Expert, has been developed. It aims at improving the data taking efficiency, reducing the human error in the operations and minimising the on-call expert demand. Introduced in the beginning of 2017, it assists the shift crew and the system experts in recovering from operational faults, streamlining the post mortem analysis and, at the end of Run 2, triggering the fully automatic recoveries without a human intervention. DAQ Expert analyses the real-time monitoring data originating from the DAQ components and the high-level trigger updated every few seconds. It pinpoints the data flow problem and recovers it automatically or after given operator approval. We analyse the CMS downtime in the 2018 run focusing on what was improved with the introduction of automated recoveries; present challenges and design of transforming the expert knowledge to automated recovery jobs. Furthermore, we demonstrate the web-based, ReactJS interfaces that ensure an effective cooperation between the human operators in control room and the automated recovery system. We report on the operational experience with automated recoveries.
Radio tails of ram-pressure stripped galaxies in the harsh environment of the Shapley supercluster
Creators: name: Venturi, Tiziana
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The Shapley Supercluster, located in the Southern Hemisphere at an average redshift of $z\sim0.048$, is one of the largest bound superclusters in the nearby Universe, where the effects of interacting and merging clusters can be witnessed, going from the large Mpc-scale footprints of diffuse emission within and in-between galaxy clusters, to the kpc-scale signatures in individual galaxies. Thanks to the sensitivity and u-v coverage that MeerKAT can cover, the Shapley Supercluster is now a key target for astrophysics.In this presentation we focus on four new radio continuum tails associated with ram-pressure stripped (RPS) galaxies which are members of the Shapley supercluster. Tails of radio emission in late-type galaxies have remained elusive so far, due to their low surface-brightness, and thanks to the current observational radio facilities only recently their detection has grown in number.  Our study is based on 1.2 GHz Meerkat observations and multi-band radio data from other SKA precursors and pathfinders. Our deep and high-resolution radio continuum multiband imaging of the merging clusters in the Shapley Supercluster provides, on one side, detailed descriptions of the cluster merger features tracing the intra-cluster diffuse non-thermal emission, on the other side, it reveals the radio continuum tails of individual galaxies. Here we show the properties of the RPS tails in the Shapley supercluster and investigate the cause-effect relationship, i.e. the link between the large-scale mass assembly and the involved galaxies. We can now address the open issues about the nature and origin of the radio tail in RPS galaxies and how the radio continuum emission in the tails correlates with the emission in other bands and with the galaxy environment.

description: Think of the great composers of German and Austrian music in the last century, and certain names spring to mind: Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern, Alban Berg, Paul Hindemith, Kurt Weill. Among those names should be Ernst Toch. That for many musicians and music lovers this is not yet so is due not to the character of Toch’s music but to the curtailment of his meteoric early career by the Nazi regime, which drove the composer into exile in 1933. In the United States, where Toch eventually settled, his major achievements in orchestral, chamber, and operatic music remain less familiar than those of his American and European peers.
The condescension of the Spirit : the nature of the relation of the indwelling Holy Spirit
Creators: name: Kroll, Kimberley
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2020

description: There are no conciliar teachings which are authoritative on the doctrine of the indwelling Holy Spirit. And yet, this doctrine is central to properly understanding the relations between redeemed human creatures (individually and corporately) and the Godhead as well as relations between redeemed human creatures and the rest of creation. The redeemed human creature is the Spirit indwelt human creature, and it is this indwelling relation that informs and constitutes every aspect of the redeemed human creature’s life. Because of this, it is pertinent to contemplate the indwelling relation simpliciter and not merely the effects of the relation (e.g., progressive sanctification, gifting, etc.). The thesis begins by nesting the indwelling relation in a larger theological frame for understanding God’s relation to that which is not God. Following this, merger and non-merger models of indwelling in analytic theology are investigated to see if they meet six desiderata of the indwelling relation and are thus theologically and philosophically tenable. This is followed by two constructive chapters that, utilizing the biblical metaphor of the Vine and the homeomorphic model of the High Priesthood, develop two possible models of the indwelling relation of the Holy Spirit that (1) are biblically rooted, and (2) satisfy the six desiderata. The hope is that this thesis will spark a conversation amongst scholars such that the indwelling relation of the Holy Spirit and the human creature is not minimized or passed over but instead seen as crucial to our understanding God, ourselves, and why it is better that Jesus ascended and the Spirit condescended to dwell in human creatures.

description: We study magnetization transport in anisotropic spin-$1/2$ chains governed by the integrable XXZ model with and without integrability-breaking perturbations at high temperatures ($T\to \infty$) using a hybrid approach that combines exact sum-rules with judiciously chosen Ansätze. In the integrable XXZ model we find (i) super-diffusion at the isotropic (Heisenberg) point, with frequency dependent conductivity $ σ'(ω\to 0) \sim |ω|^α$, where $α=-3/7$ in close numerical agreement with recent $t$-DMRG computations; (ii) a continuously drifting exponent from $α=-1^+$ in the XY limit of the model to $α>0$ within the Ising regime; and (iii) a diffusion constant saturating in the XY coupling deep in the Ising limit. We consider two kinds of integrability breaking perturbations --- a simple next-nearest-neighbor spin-flip term ($J_2$) and a three-spin assisted variant ($t_2$), natural in the fermion particle representation of the spin chain. In the first case we discover a remarkable sensitivity of $σ'(ω)$ to the sign of $J_2$, with enhanced low frequency spectral weight and a pronounced upward shift in the magnitude of $α$ for $J_2>0$. Perhaps even more surprising, we find sub-diffusion ($α>0$) over a range of $J_2<0$. By contrast, the effects of the \enquote{fermionic} three-spin perturbation are sign symmetric; this perturbation produces a clearly observable hydrodynamic relaxation. At large strength of the integrability breaking term $J_2\to \pm \infty$ the problem is effectively non-interacting (fermions hopping on odd and even sublattices) and we find $α\to -1$ behavior reminiscent of the XY limit of the XXZ chain. Exact diagonalization studies largely corroborate these findings at mid-frequencies.

Finite-size effects on the hadron-quark phase transition in neutron stars

description: We study the finite-size effects, like the surface and Coulomb energies, on the hadron-quark mixed phase in neutron stars. The equilibrium conditions for coexisting hadronic and quark phases are derived by minimizing the total energy including the surface and Coulomb contributions, which are different from the Gibbs conditions without finite-size effects. We employ the relativistic mean-field model to describe the hadronic phase, while the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with vector interactions is used for the quark phase. It is found that finite-size effects can significantly reduce the region of the mixed phase, and the results lie between those of the Gibbs and Maxwell constructions. We show that a massive star may contain a mixed-phase core and its size depends on the surface tension of the hadron-quark interface and the vector coupling between quarks. The repulsive vector interaction in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model can stiffen the equation of state of quark matter, and therefore, delay the phase transition and increase the maximum mass of neutron stars.

Further evaluation of Wahl vanishing theorems for surface singularities in characteristic $p$

description: Let $(\mathrm{Spec }R, \frak m)$ be a rational double point defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p\geq 0$. We evaluate further the dimensions of the local cohomology groups which were treated by Wahl in 1975 as vanishing theorem C (resp. D) under the assumption that $p$ is a very good prime (resp. good prime) with respect to $(\mathrm{Spec }R, \frak m)$. We use Artin's classification of rational double points and completely determine the dimensions $\dim_k H_E^1(S_X)$, $\dim_k H_E^1(S_X\otimes \mathcal O_X(E))$, supplementing Wahl's theorems. In the proof we construct derivations concretely which do not lift to the minimal resolution $X\to \mathrm{Spec }R$, as well as non-trivial equisingular families which inject into a versal deformation of the rational double point $(\mathrm{Spec }R, \mathfrak m)$.

description: The maximum coercivity that can be achieved for a given hard magnetic alloy is estimated by computing the energy barrier for the nucleation of a reversed domain in an idealized microstructure without any structural defects and without any soft magnetic secondary phases. For Sm$_{1-z}$Zr$_z$(Fe$_{1-y}$Co$_y$)$_{12-x}$Ti$_x$ based alloys, which are considered an alternative to Nd$_2$Fe$_{14}$B magnets with lower rare-earth content, the coercive field of a small magnetic cube is reduced to 60 percent of the anisotropy field at room temperature and to 50 percent of the anisotropy field at elevated temperature (473K). This decrease of the coercive field is caused by misorientation, demagnetizing fields and thermal fluctuations.

description: In this paper we present the latest CMS open data release published on the CERN Open Data portal. The samples of raw datasets, collision and simulated datasets were released together with the detailed information about the data provenance. The data production chain covers the necessary compute environments, the configuration files and the computational procedures used in each data production step. We describe data curation techniques used to obtain and publish the data provenance information and we study the possibility to reproduce parts of the released data using the publicly available information. The present work demonstrates the usefulness of releasing selected samples of raw and primary data in order to fully ensure the completeness of information about data production chain for the attention of general data scientists and other non-specialists interested in using particle physics data for education or research purposes.
Prediction of New Ground State Crystal Structure of Ta2O5

description: Tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) is a wide-gap semiconductor which has important technological applications. Despite the enormous efforts from both experimental and theoretical studies, the ground state crystal structure of Ta2O5 is not yet uniquely determined. Based on first-principles calculations in combination with evolutionary algorithm, we identify a triclinic phase of Ta2O5, which is energetically much more stable than any phases or structural models reported previously. Characterization of the static and dynamical properties of the new phase reveals the common features shared with previous metastable phases of Ta2O5. In particular, we show that the d-spacing of ~ 3.8 Å found in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of many previous experimental works, is actually the radius of the second Ta-Ta coordination shell as defined by radial distribution functions.

description: In the current work, we aimed to evaluate the protective effects of liquorice and halfa-bar extract against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced nephritic syndrome (NS) in rats. Twenty albino male rats were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/kg of DOX. The injected rats were supplied daily with 400 mg/kg of liquorice, halfa-bar extract, or their combination for 2 weeks. Our findings confirmed the induction of NS in rats indicated by alteration in Bowman’s space, damaged in glomerular capsules, and tubules. Moreover, the levels of produced tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) were increased, accompanied by decreasing levels of IL-4 and IL-10. Supplement NS-rats with liquorice and halfa-bar extracts restored the glomerular and tubules damage and adjusted the level of produced TNF-α and IL-8. Interestingly, both extracts can stimulate the expression profile of small proline-rich protein 2 F (sprr2f) and metalloproteinase-10 (MMP-10), which are responsible for repairing and regeneration mechanisms of renal syndromes.
