Eccoptocera osteomelesana

description: Eccoptocera osteomelesana (Swezey)
Presumed extinct
This species is the most recent native Hawaiian tortricid to be described (Swezey 1946). It has been reared from leaves of Osteomeles anthyllidifolia (Rosaceae) and is known from small series of specimens collected in Mānoa and Wailupe Valley on Oʻahu and was most recently collected on the campus of UH Mānoa in 1969. However, it may have been introduced, as it more closely resembles some Pacific and Australian Eccoptocera than native Hawaiian ones. It is also notable that no other entomologist collected this species prior to F.X. Williams in 1929, despite it having been reared and collected in such heavily urbanized places. No specimens have been collected by us despite extensive searching near large patches of Osteomeles in the southern KoʻolauMountainsandextensivetrapping in areas it might be expected.

The Spectrum of Open String Field Theory at the Stable Tachyonic Vacuum

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We present a level (10,30) numerical computation of the spectrum of quadratic fluctuations of Open String Field Theory around the tachyonic vacuum, both in the scalar and in the vector sector. Our results are consistent with Sen's conjecture about gauge-triviality of the small excitations. The computation is sufficiently accurate to provide robust evidence for the absence of the photon from the open string spectrum. We also observe that ghost string field propagators develop double poles. We show that this requires non-empty BRST cohomologies at non-standard ghost numbers. We comment about the relations of our results with recent work on the same subject.

This species is known from the type series of seven specimens reared from Phyllanthus distichus (Phyllanthaceae) from Malamalama Ridge, Oʻahu in 1916 and 1925 (Swezey 1940). No other specimens are known, and targeted collecting near P. distichus on Oʻahu did not result in any specimens. The hostplant has not been encountered frequently by us, although Wagner et al. (1999) considered it “locally common in mesic forest, often on steep slopes or ridge tops, sometimes in dry shrubland” on Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, West Maui, and rarely on East Maui.

description: In this paper, we propose a geometric neural network with edge-aware refinement (GeoNet++) to jointly predict both depth and surface normal maps from a single image. Building on top of two-stream CNNs, GeoNet++ captures the geometric relationships between depth and surface normals with the proposed depth-to-normal and normal-to-depth modules. In particular, the "depth-to-normal" module exploits the least square solution of estimating surface normals from depth to improve their quality, while the "normal-to-depth" module refines the depth map based on the constraints on surface normals through kernel regression. Boundary information is exploited via an edge-aware refinement module. GeoNet++ effectively predicts depth and surface normals with strong 3D consistency and sharp boundaries resulting in better reconstructed 3D scenes. Note that GeoNet++ is generic and can be used in other depth/normal prediction frameworks to improve the quality of 3D reconstruction and pixel-wise accuracy of depth and surface normals. Furthermore, we propose a new 3D geometric metric (3DGM) for evaluating depth prediction in 3D. In contrast to current metrics that focus on evaluating pixel-wise error/accuracy, 3DGM measures whether the predicted depth can reconstruct high-quality 3D surface normals. This is a more natural metric for many 3D application domains. Our experiments on NYUD-V2 and KITTI datasets verify that GeoNet++ produces fine boundary details, and the predicted depth can be used to reconstruct high-quality 3D surfaces. Code has been made publicly available.

We also find a condition that the system should satisfy to have an equivalent time independent formulation. We study the example of damped oscillator and give the new time independent Hamiltonian for it, which has the property of tending to the standard Hamiltonian of the harmonic oscillator as damping goes to zero.

Ultrafast spatiotemporal chiroptical response of dielectric and plasmonic nanospheres

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: We theoretically examine the spatiotemporal evolution of enhanced near-field optical chirality (OC) in both plasmonic and dielectric nanospheres when excited by ultrashort optical pulses. We demonstrate distinct spatiotemporal variations in near-field OC arising from the differing natures of plasmonic and dielectric resonators. The electric dipole resonant plasmonic nanosphere generates instantaneous near-field OC that relies on the interference between incident and scattered (induced) fields. Conversely, a resonant dielectric nanosphere sustains long-lasting OC even after the incident field diminishes due to the scattered field from resonant electric and magnetic dipole modes. We further demonstrate the control over the near-field OC using vector beams. Our work opens up opportunities for spatiotemporal control of nanostructure-enhanced chiral-light matter interactions.

This species was described from two males and a female reared from three different dates from Myrsine lessertiana (Primulaceae) by Swezey in 1911 on Mt. Olympus and Tantalus, Oʻahu. Meyrick (1932) wrote that a second, larger female from Mt. Olympus “may be the same species,” but we have not been able to locate this specimen.

description: We study the impacts of nonuniversal $Z^{\prime}$ model, providing flavor changing neutral current at tree level, on the branching ratios (BRs), CP asymmetries (CPAs) and polarization fractions of B decays. We find that for satisfying the current data, the new left- and right-handed couplings have to be included at the same time. The new introduced effective interactions not only could effectively explain the puzzle of small longitudinal polarization in $B\to K^* ϕ$ decays, but also provide a solution to the small CPA of $B^{\pm}\to π^{0} K^{\pm}$. We also find that the favorable CPA of $B^{\pm}\to π^{0} K^{\pm}$ is opposite in sign to the standard model; meanwhile, the CPA of $B_{d}\to π^{0}K$ has to be smaller than -10%. In addition, by using the values of parameters which are constrained by $B\to πK$, we find that the favorable ranges of BRs, CPAs, longitudinal polarizations, and perpendicular transverse polarizations for $(B^{\pm}\to ρ^{\pm} K^{*}, B_{d}\to ρ^{\mp} K^{*\pm})$ are $(17.1\pm 3.9, 10.0\pm2.0)\times 10^{-6}$, $(3\pm 5, 21\pm 7)%$, $(0.66\pm 0.10, 0.44\pm 0.08)$ and $(0.14\pm 0.10, 0.25\pm 0.09)$, respectively.

description: Exceptional points (EPs) -- singularities in the parameter space of non-Hermitian systems where two nearby eigenmodes coalesce -- feature unique properties with applications such as sensitivity enhancement and chiral emission. Existing realizations of EP lasers operate with static populations in the gain medium. By analyzing the full-wave Maxwell--Bloch equations, here we show that in a laser operating sufficiently close to an EP, the nonlinear gain will spontaneously induce a multi-spectral multi-modal instability above a pump threshold, which initiates an oscillating population inversion and generates a frequency comb. The efficiency of comb generation is enhanced by both the spectral degeneracy and the spatial coalescence of modes near an EP. Such an ``EP comb'' has a widely tunable repetition rate, self-starts without external modulators or a continuous-wave pump, and can be realized with an ultra-compact footprint. We develop an exact solution of the Maxwell--Bloch equations with an oscillating inversion, describing all spatiotemporal properties of the EP comb as a limit cycle. We numerically illustrate this phenomenon in a 5-\textmu m-long gain-loss coupled AlGaAs cavity and adjust the EP comb repetition rate from 20 to 27~GHz. This work provides a rigorous spatiotemporal description of the rich laser behaviors that arise from the interplay between the non-Hermiticity, nonlinearity, and dynamics of a gain medium.

description: Ice growth from liquid phase has been extensively investigated in various conditions, especially for ice freely grown in undercooled water and aqueous solutions. Although unidirectional ice growth plays a significant role in sea ice and freeze casting, the detailed pattern formation of unidirectionally grown ice in an aqueous solution remains elusive. For the first time, we in situ proved a crossover from lamellar to spongy ice morphologies of a single ice crystal via unidirectional freezing of an aqueous solution. The spongy ice morphology originates from the intersect of tilted lamellar ice and is observed in a single ice crystal, which is intrinsically different from the competitive growth of bi-crystal composed of two differently orientated grains in directional solidification. These results provide a complete physical picture of unidirectionally grown ice from aqueous solution and are believed to promote our understanding of various pattern of ice in many relevant domains where pattern formation of ice crystal is vital.

This species was described from two specimens: the holotype male collected by Perkins in 1894 at 5000 ft on Haleakalā, Maui and a questionably associated female paratype, collected in the same year at 4000 ft elevation on Molokaʻi. The female paratype likely represents an undescribed species, as most Pararrhaptica appear to be single island endemics. Like most other Pararrhaptica, it likely fed on Myrsine spp. (Primulaceae).

description: Current automation approaches in the Industry 4.0 have generated increased interest in the utilization of Integration Platforms as a Service (iPaaS) cloud architectures in order to unify and synchronize several systems, applications, and services in order to build smart solutions for automated and adaptive industrial process management. Existing iPaaS solutions present several out-of-the-box connectors and automation engines for easier integration of customers' projects, but show issues regarding overall adaptation outside their scope, brand locking, and occasionally high prices. Moreover, existing platforms fail to respond adequately to the needs of deploying multiple decision models capable of offering automated or semi-automated management of processes, thanks to the integration of the large diversity of data and event sources as well as the different physical or logical action entities. With the popularization of open-source software and applications such as BPM Engines, Machine Learning libraries, and Integration suites and libraries, it is possible to develop a fully customizable and adaptable, open-source iPaaS that can be used both in and outside industrial applications. In this paper, we propose a generic iPaaS architecture implemented on the basis of several open source solutions boasting integration, interoperability, and automated decision-making capabilities in the domain of Agriculture 4.0. A proof-of-concept based on these solutions is presented, as well as a case study on MA{Ï}SADOUR's grain storage process with a comparison with the currently human-operated tasks.

Bordemann [4], using the framework of Thomas-Whitehead connections. We give a new proof of existence using the notion of Cartan projective connections and we obtain an explicit formula in terms of these connections. Our method yields the existence of a projectively equivariant quantization if and only if an \sl(m+1,\R)-equivariant quantization exists in the flat situation in the sense of [18], thus solving one of the problems left open by M. Bordemann.

This species is known from a single female collected by Perkins in 1893 on Molokaʻi (Walsingham 1907). No further locality data are given on the label, but the date (5 viii 1893) corresponds to a journal entry by Perkins from “near Waikolu” (Evenhuis 2007). We have collected in this general area and along the Hanalilolilo Trail but have not found this species. Like other Pararrhaptica, it likely fed on leaves and shoots of Myrsine spp. (Primulaceae).

description: The flow of shape eigenmodes of the small fluctuation operator around BPS 2-vortex solutions is calculated, as a function of the intervortex separation $2d$. For the rotationally-invariant 2-vortex, with $d = 0$, there are three discrete modes; the lowest is non-degenerate and the upper two are degenerate. As $d$ increases, the degeneracy splits, with one eigenvalue increasing and entering the continuous spectrum, and the other decreasing and asymptotically coalescing with the lowest eigenvalue, where they jointly become the eigenvalue of the 1-vortex radial shape mode. The behaviour of the eigenvalues near $d=0$ is clarified using a perturbative analysis, and also in light of the 2-vortex moduli space geometry.

inter-regional interaction

description: This thesis aims to explore the inter-regional exchange networks that moved jade prestige goods within China, and between China and Mainland Southeast Asia, between 2300 and 500 BC, focusing predominantly on T-sectioned bangles and yazhang. Available data suggest that T-sectioned bangles in China and mainland Southeast Asia (especially in Vietnam) followed their own local trajectories of development within broad inter-regional exchange networks. However, the T-sectioned bangles were never dominant as prestige goods in circulation between China and mainland Southeast Asia. On the other hand, yazhang were apparently the most valuable prestige items to circulate within the elite exchange network that linked northern Vietnam and the Sichuan Basin between 1500 and 1300 BC. Regional contacts became more intensive in the Late Shang world within China (ca. 1300-1000 BC). Five possible exchange mechanisms involving T-sectioned bangles have been proposed for this period, including (a) elite control of distribution within Yinxu; (b) movement with migrants or refugees from Henan to Hunan; (c) circulation as gifts or commodities among elites in Henan and Jiangxi; (d) long-distance exchange between Hunan and the Sichuan Basin, and between the Sichuan Basin and Lingnan; and (e) movement of itinerant craftsmen. This research further attempts to appreciate the technical and artistic choices involved in producing T-sectioned bangles through experimental archaeology. It seeks to develop an in-depth understanding of how T-sectioned bangles, and yazhang, were perceived and symbolized by their makers and eventual users. Variations in their production and usage might reflect different regional interaction patterns, involving various social and cultural contexts.

description: In interstellar clouds the deposition of water ice onto grains only occurs at visual extinctions above some threshold value A_th. At extinctions greater than A_th there is a (near-linear) correlation between the inferred column density of the water ice and A_V. For individual cloud complexes such as Taurus, Serpens and Rho-Ophiuchi, A_th and the gradients of the correlation are very similar along all lines of sight. We have investigated the origin of this phenomenon, with careful consideration of the various possible mechanisms that may be involved and have applied a full chemical model to analyse the behaviours and sensitivities in quiescent molecular clouds. Our key results are: (i) the ubiquity of the phenomenon points to a common cause, so that the lines of sight probe regions with similar, advanced, chemical and dynamical evolution, (ii) for Taurus and Serpens; A_th and the slope of the correlation can be explained as resulting from the balance of freeze-out of oxygen atoms and photodesorption of H2O molecules. No other mechanism can satisfactorily explain the phenomenon, (iii) A_th depends on the local density, suggesting that there is a correlation between local volume density and column density, (iv) the different values of A_th for Taurus and Serpens are probably due to variations in the local mean radiation field strength, (v) most ice is accreted onto grains that are initially very small (<0.01 microns), and (vi) the very high value of A_th observed in Rho-Ophiuchi cannot be explained in the same way, unless there is complex microstructure and/or a modification to the extinction characteristics.

Rediscovery
This species was originally described from a single male collected in 1895 at Kahōluamanu, Kauaʻi by R.C.L. Perkins. J.A. Kusche collected a male and female at the same locality in 1920, which KAA identified in BPBM. No other known specimens have been collected since. Here we report it from six specimens collected on the Nuʻalolo Trail in Kōkeʻe State Park. Larvae are suspected to feed on Myrsine lanaiensis (Primulaceae), based on the abundance of typical Pararrhaptica -like feeding damage on leaves of M. lanaiensis in the immediate vicinity of the collecting locality of the most recent specimens.

description: We performed $^{59}$Co nuclear magnetic and quadrupole resonance (NMR and NQR) measurements under pressure on a single-crystalline CeCoSi, which undergoes an unresolved phase transition at $T_0$. The NQR spectra clearly showed that the phase transition at $T_0$ is nonmagnetic, but any symmetry lowering at the Co site was not seen irrespective of the feature of second-order phase transition. By contrast, the NMR spectra were split by the induced magnetic field perpendicular to the external magnetic field. These results show that the phase below $T_0$ is not a simple paramagnetic state but is most likely electric multipolar ordered state of Ce $4f$ electrons. The development of the Kondo effect by applying pressure is thought to be crucial to stabilize this state and to show novel features beyond commonality of tetragonal Ce-based systems.

However, fast image reconstruction of a moving object with high quality is still challenging for SPI, thereby limiting its practical application. In this paper, we present a simultaneous tracking and imaging method that incorporates position encoding and spatial information encoding through Fourier patterns. The utilization of Fourier patterns with specific spatial frequencies ensures robust and accurate object localization. By exploiting the properties of the Fourier transforms, our method achieves a remarkable reduction in time complexity while significantly enhancing image quality. Furthermore, we introduce an optimized sampling strategy specifically designed for small moving objects, significantly reducing the required dwell time for imaging. The proposed method provides a practical solution for real-time tracking, imaging, and edge detection of moving objects, underscoring its considerable potential for diverse applications.

English puritans and german pietists : a re-examination of precritical interpretation in light of the anthropocentric turn in hermeneutics
Creators: name: Zimmermann, Jens
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study is to integrate the hermeneutics of English Puritanism and German Pietism into the current hermeneutical debate. Opposing a pre-critical worldview to Charles Taylor's concept of a "silent" universe, this study argues that pre-critical hermeneutics derives from its biblical framework a moral strength and confidence which is lacking in modern philosophical hermeneutics. By analyzing the writings of Matthias Flacius (Illycrius), William Perkins, John Owen, Philipp Jacob Spener, August Hermann Francke, Friedrich Schleiermacher, Hans-Georg Gadamer and Charles Taylor, this study sketches an increasing slide into subjectivism within the field of hermeneutics. This anthropocentric turn is accompanied by an increasingly secular reinterpretation of precritical concepts. Philosophical hermeneutics tries to overcome radical subjectivism, but does so by appealing to secularized versions of pre-critical assumptions whose foundations it no longer acknowledges. This development lies at the root of philosophical hermeneutics' unsuccessful effort to overcome subjectivism and derive an applicatory ethical dimension from a non-theistic hermeneutic. This study also aims to expose common misconceptions about pre-critical hermeneutics. One common claim is that precritical hermeneutics did not problematize understanding itself, an insight attributed to Schleiermacher and Heideggerian ontological hermeneutics. Yet a close reading of Puritan and Pietist works shows that precritical hermeneutics went beyond merely devising technical rules for the removal of lexical and grammatical difficulties. Contrary to the claims of philosophical hermeneutics the Puritans and Pietists did perceive the difficulty of understanding ontologically. Their hermeneutics makes a claim to universal validity on the basis of a created universe and human depravity. Secondly, an assessment of the Puritan faith conceived as trust in a credible testimony dispels the common misconception of faith as irrational. The pre-critical idea of experiential knowledge as relational allows for a balance between propositional ('objective') and experiential (subjective) epistemological elements which is lacking in modern hermeneutics. Finally, the study shows that pre-critical hermeneuts were as aware of the perspectivism of all human knowledge, and of its conditioning by tradition, as the current hermeneutics of facticity. By re-admitting a neglected and misrepresented group of precritical writers this study attempts to renew the dialogue between theological and philosophical hermeneutics.

Spheterista oheoheana

description: Spheterista oheoheana (Swezey) Rediscovery
This species was previously known only from the type series of five specimens (four males, one female) reared “from larvae and pupae found in dead twigs” of Polyscias kavaiensis (Araliaceae) at Halemanu, Kauaʻi in 1932 (Swezey 1933). All specimens of the type series are in poor condition, with wings heavily rubbed and not spread. We report a single female from the Nuʻalolo Trail. A few Polyscias kavaiensis were observed nearby, although no dead twigs were noticed.
Spheterista oheoheana is one of three species of Hawaiian Tortricidae to have been included in a USFWS Candidate Notice of Review (USFWS 1984), meaning it has been considered for possible protection under the Endangered Species Act. It was listed as a category 2 candidate species, meaning that “conclusive data on biological vulnerability and threat are not currently available” to support inclusion. The other two species included in the review, also category 2, S. pterotropiana and S. reynoldsiana, have been collected in recent years (although S. reynoldsiana maybeextinctonOʻahu).Allthreespecies were removed from consideration in 1996 when the USFWS discontinued the use of category 2 (USWFS 1996).
Material examined. Kauaʻi: 1♀, Kōkeʻe State Park, Nuʻalolo Trail; 22.1310, -159.6607; 1160m; 22-23 iii 2022; K. A. Austin; LED bucket trap / DNA extraction KA0556 / KAA diss. #0787 (UHIM).

Spheterista tetraplasandra

description: Spheterista tetraplasandra (Swezey) Rediscovery
This species was originally described from two males reared from fruits of “ Tetraplasandra ” [= Polyscias] (Araliaceae)
in 1918 from Kaumuahona 1 and Wailupe, Oʻahu (Swezey 1920). A few additional specimens were collected in the following years, most recently a small series reared from “ Tetraplasandra ” [= Polyscias] at Puʻu Kaua, Oʻahu in 1932. One specimen is known from Kauaʻi, but this may represent a closely related undescribed species. We report three specimens from two separate locations in the central Koʻolau Mountains of Oʻahu.

Presumed extinct
This species is known only from the female holotype, supposedly collected in 1909 by R.C.L. Perkins from Waialua, Oʻahu (but see comments below). Meyrick (1932) suggested that it was introduced along with a hypothesized leguminous host, possibly from Asia. Zimmerman (1978) disagreed and considered it endemic. Oboyski (2011) agreed with Zimmerman and compared it to several Canavalia -feeding Hawaiian Cydia. It appears very similar to C. parapteryx (Meyrick), also only known from Oʻahu.

description: Segmentation of cardiac anatomical structures in cardiac magnetic resonance images (CMRI) is a prerequisite for automatic diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. To increase robustness and performance of segmentation methods this study combines automatic segmentation and assessment of segmentation uncertainty in CMRI to detect image regions containing local segmentation failures. Three state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks (CNN) were trained to automatically segment cardiac anatomical structures and obtain two measures of predictive uncertainty: entropy and a measure derived by MC-dropout. Thereafter, using the uncertainties another CNN was trained to detect local segmentation failures that potentially need correction by an expert. Finally, manual correction of the detected regions was simulated. Using publicly available CMR scans from the MICCAI 2017 ACDC challenge, the impact of CNN architecture and loss function for segmentation, and the uncertainty measure was investigated. Performance was evaluated using the Dice coefficient and 3D Hausdorff distance between manual and automatic segmentation. The experiments reveal that combining automatic segmentation with simulated manual correction of detected segmentation failures leads to statistically significant performance increase.
The Poetics of Memory – The Public Role of Seamus Heaney after 1995

description: This thesis deals with what it means to be a ‘public’ poet in national and transnational contexts. Because Seamus Heaney’s ‘Irishness’ has shaped the critical response to his work, what has been effaced is detailed critical attention to the interplay between the national and transnational dimensions of his poetry. What is most evident in his later work is a type of border-crossing transcultural solidarity, and an openness to alternate views and other cultures becomes increasingly important. To speak of Heaney’s cosmopolitanism is not to dismiss the significance of the national, but to indicate multiple allegiances and identifications. In addition to considering Heaney as a cosmopolitan poet, this thesis uses approaches and concepts from memory studies to draw out the significance of Heaney’s work in a transnational literary space. While critics have long asserted the importance of memory in his poetry, it has most often been treated as a peripheral rather than central idea. While some criticism obliquely deals with collective or cultural memory in his work – for example by discussing the representation of myth or tradition in his bog poems – there has been little sustained attention to this aspect of his work. This project is focused on how public memory is shaped in collections and major translations published after 1995. Memory is a helpful lens to look at Heaney’s late work, in particular, because of the importance of the interplay of past, present and future in these works. In his later work the dynamic plays out in interesting ways: in the construction of a collective memory of the Troubles in works written in the 1990s; in the use of the elegy to commemorate the passing of important contemporary poets; in his writing on events with transnational significance, such as 9/11; and in the slippages between past and present in poems about his family. Another way that Heaney explores memory is through the literary afterlives of texts – specifically, his appropriation of canonical classical texts. His adaptations of Sophocles, Horace and Virgil collapse the distinctions between past, present and future. In his late work Heaney actively shapes collective memory through a pattern of reprising and revising imagery and ideas from his earlier work and through the translation and adaptation of texts from classical antiquity. The thesis concludes with a coda which examines the commemorative practices which have emerged since his death in 2013 and, particularly, how an individual can function as a site of memory.
Selective Mott transition and heavy fermions

description: Starting with an extended version of the Anderson lattice where the f-electrons are allowed a weak dispersion, we examine the possibility of a Mott localization of the f-electrons, for a finite value of the hybridization $V$. We study the fluctuations at the quantum critical point (QCP) where the f-electrons localize. We find they are in the same universality class as for the Kondo breakdown QCP, with the following notable features. The quantum critical regime sees the appearance of an additional energy scale separating two universality classes. In the low energy regime, the fluctuations are dominated by massless gauge modes, while in the intermediate energy regime, the fluctuations of the modulus of the order parameter are the most relevant ones. In the latter regime, electric transport simplifies drastically, leading to a quasi-linear resistivity in 3D and anomalous exponents lower than T in 2 D. This rather unique feature of the quantum critical regime enables us to make experimentally testable predictions.

description: Pyroelectric energy converter is a functional capacitor using pyroelectric material as the dielectric layer. Utilizing the first-order phase transformation of the material, the pyroelectric device can generate adequate electricity within small temperature fluctuations. However, most pyroelectric capacitors are leaking during energy conversion. In this paper, we analyze the thermodynamics of pyroelectric energy conversion with consideration of the electric leakage. Our thermodynamic model is verified by experiments using three phase-transforming ferroelectric materials with different pyroelectric properties and leakage behaviors. We demonstrate that the impact of leakage for electric generation is prominent, and sometimes may be confused with the actual power generation by pyroelectricity. We discover an ideal material candidate, (Ba,Ca)(Ti,Zr,Ce)O$_3$, which exhibits large pyroelectric current and extremely low leakage current. The pyroelectric converter made of this material generates 1.95 $μ$A/cm$^2$ pyroelectric current density and 0.2 J/cm$^3$ pyroelectric work density even after 1389 thermodynamic conversion cycles.

description: We establish a Talenti-type symmetrization result in the form of mass concentration (i.e. integral comparison) for very general linear nonlocal elliptic problems, equipped with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. In this framework, the relevant concentration comparison for the classical fractional Laplacian can be reviewed as a special case of our main result, thus generalizing the previous results in [21]. Finally, using an implicit time discretization techniques, similar results are obtained for the solutions of Cauchy-Dirichlet nonlocal linear parabolic problems.
