description: Motivated by the inadequacy of conducting atomistic simulations of crack propagation using static boundary conditions that do not reflect the movement of the crack tip, we extend Sinclair's flexible boundary condition algorithm [Philos. Mag. 31, 647-671 (1975)] and propose a numerical-continuation-enhanced flexible boundary (NCFlex) scheme, enabling full solution paths for cracks to be computed with pseudo-arclength continuation, and present a method for incorporating more detailed far-field information into the model for next to no additional computational cost. The new algorithms are ideally suited to study details of lattice trapping barriers to brittle fracture and can be incorporated into density functional theory and multiscale quantum/classical QM/MM calculations. We demonstrate our approach for Mode III fracture with a 2D toy model and mploy it to conduct a 3D study of Mode I fracture of silicon using realistic interatomic potentials, highlighting the superiority of the new approach over employing a corresponding static boundary condition. In particular, the inclusion of numerical continuation enables converged results to be obtained with realistic model systems containing a few thousand atoms, with very few iterations required to compute each new solution. We also introduce a method to estimate the lattice trapping range of admissible stress intensity factors $K_- < K < K_+$ very cheaply and demonstrate its utility on both the toy and realistic model systems.

description: A condition on a set of truncated Wightman functions is formulated and shown to permit the construction of the Hilbert space structure included in the Morchio--Strocchi modified Wightman axioms. The truncated Wightman functions which are obtained by analytic continuation of the (truncated) Schwinger functions of Euclidean scalar random fields and covariant vector (quaternionic) random fields constructed via convoluted generalized white noise, are then shown to satisfy this condition. As a consequence such random fields provide relativistic models for indefinite metric quantum field theory, in dimension 4 (vector case), respectively in all dimensions (scalar case).

Tests of scalar-tensor gravity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The best motivated alternatives to general relativity are scalar-tensor theories, in which the gravitational interaction is mediated by one or several scalar fields together with the usual graviton. The analysis of their various experimental constraints allows us to understand better which features of the models have actually been tested, and to suggest new observations able to discriminate between them. This talk reviews three classes of constraints on such theories, which are qualitatively different from each other: (i) solar-system experiments; (ii) binary-pulsar tests and future detections of gravitational waves from inspiralling binaries; (iii) cosmological observations. While classes (i) and (ii) impose precise bounds respectively on the first and second derivatives of the matter-scalar coupling function, (iii) a priori allows us to reconstruct the full shapes of the functions of the scalar field defining the theory, but obviously with more uncertainties and/or more theoretical hypotheses needed. Simple arguments such as the absence of ghosts (to guarantee the stability of the field theory) nevertheless suffice to rule out a wide class of scalar-tensor models. Some of them can be probed only if one takes simultaneously into account solar-system and cosmological observations.

description: We present a reanalysis of the light curves of HD 23642, a detached eclipsing binary star in the Pleiades open cluster, with emphasis on a detailed error analysis. We compare the masses and radii of the two stars to predictions of stellar evolutionary models and find that the metal and helium abundances of the Pleiades are approximately solar. We present a new method for finding distances to eclipsing binaries, of spectral types A to M, using the empirical calibrations of effective temperature versus surface brightness given by Kervella et al. (2004). We use the calibration for K-filter surface brightness to determine a distance of 139.1 +/- 3.5 pc to HD 23642 and the Pleiades. This distance is in excellent agreement with distances found from the use of theoretical and empirical bolometric corrections. We show that the determination of distance, both from the use of surface brightness relations and from the use of bolometric corrections, is more accurate and precise at infrared wavelengths than at optical wavelengths. The distance to HD 23642 is consistent with that derived from photometric methods and Hubble Space Telecscope parallaxes, but is inconsistent with the distance measured using Hipparcos parallaxes of HD 23642 and of other Pleiades stars.

description: Ausgehend von theoretischen Grundüberlegungen bezüglich des sogenannten 'Scheiterns der Moderne' versucht diese Diplomarbeit durch eine Reinterpretation dieses 'Scheiterns' die Aktualität der damaligen Anliegen wieder ins Licht zu rücken. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Frage der 'menschlichen Freiheit' und wie - als ihre fundamentale Vorbedingung - Möglichkeiten als Möglichkeiten adäquat und sinnvoll architektonisch zu denken sein könnten. Selbiges artikuliert sich in einer Entwurfsmethodik, welche die Nutzer und deren jeweiliges Möglichkeitsspektrum zum Ausgangspunkt hat und - auf digitaler Basis - zu einem individuell gestaltbaren virtuellen Möglichkeitsprofil führt. Nach der theoretischen und digitalen Entwicklung dieser Methodik sollen damit einerseits bestehende Strukturen sinnvoll im Hinblick auf deren Nutzungspotentiale bzw. auf die Auslastung der jeweiligen Raumstruktur analysiert und andererseits - an einem konkreten Entwurf - die sinnvolle Anwendung im praktischen Entwurfsprozess geprüft werden können.
description: Based on theoretical considerations concerning the 'problem of architectural modernity' this thesis tries to reinterpret these problems and points out their actuality. The rethinking focusses on the 'problem of human freedom' and - as a fundamental precondition - the idea of possibilities as possibilities and how these problems could be thougt sensibly in an architectural way. This evokes a method, which leads - outgoing from users and their specific spectra of possibilites - to an individually designable virtual profile of structures of possibilities. After the theoretical and digital development of this method it is supposed to analyze existing structures concerning userprofiles as well as the utilization-efficiency of this structure concerning its volume. Subsequently this method should be proofed a designtool in the process of architectural design via a specific project.

description: We study the statistics of the number of records $R_n$ for a symmetric, $n$-step, discrete jump process on a $1D$ lattice. At a given step, the walker can jump by arbitrary lattice units drawn from a given symmetric probability distribution. This process includes, as a special case, the standard nearest neighbor lattice random walk. We derive explicitly the generating function of the distribution $P(R_n)$ of the number of records, valid for arbitrary discrete jump distributions. As a byproduct, we provide a relatively simple proof of the generalized Sparre Andersen theorem for the survival probability of a random walk on a line, with discrete or continuous jump distributions. For the discrete jump process, we then derive the asymptotic large $n$ behavior of $P(R_n)$ as well as of the average number of records $E(R_n)$. We show that unlike the case of random walks with symmetric and continuous jump distributions where the record statistics is strongly universal (i.e., independent of the jump distribution for all $n$), the record statistics for lattice walks depends on the jump distribution for any fixed $n$. However, in the large $n$ limit, we show that the distribution of the scaled record number $R_n/E(R_n)$ approaches a universal, half-Gaussian form for any discrete jump process. The dependence on the jump distribution enters only through the scale factor $E(R_n)$, which we also compute in the large $n$ limit for arbitrary jump distributions. We present explicit results for a few examples and provide numerical checks of our analytical predictions.

description: About 22,000 farmers in the Windward Islands (Dominica. Grenada. St. Lucia, St. Vincent) supply bananas for export to Europe on a weekly basis. The terrain is mountainous, with more than 50% of banana fields having slopes greater than 20 degrees. The soils are all volcanic in origin with relatively high clay contents and, although not highly erosion-prone, the combination of steep slopes, intense rainfall and bare surfaces can lead to serious erosion. Banana cultivation is often blamed for soil erosion and siltation of streams but. managed properly, stands of bananas and plantains offer excellent protection for the soil. Lou -cost operations like minimum tillage, effective drainage, thoughtful use of plant litter and maintenance of Vetiver grass lines all contribute to effective soil and water management in this cropping system.

description: This master thesis brings a new point of view for the library architecture and functions linked to the new technological era. Digitization and technological advancement is criticized for mitigating social interaction since human touch is replaced with 4.7 inch wide mobile screens. ISTech Public Library, defined throughout this thesis book, is an exploration of a new library concept which merges public architecture and social interaction while technology is used to increase speed and improve access to information without any physical boundaries. This thesis also deals with effective design for public spaces since ISTech Public Library is located within a park which is extremely rare in a city of almost 20 million inhabitants. The crucial starting point in developing a concept for any public space is to identify the needs and expectations within the community. Surveys with different stakeholders such as students, government officials, inhabitants of surrounding neighborhoods and opinion leaders in architectural domain; are the main source for defining amenities located both at the exterior and the interior of the ISTech Public Library. Another aspect taken into account while designing the form of the closed spaces is to create a landmark for the city with a monumental approach to modern architecture. ISTech Public Library and Park is designed to attract local and tourist attraction to the Asian side of the Istanbul city.

description: Considering that the several types included in the dírus group represent at least three quite distinct forms, in all of which there appears a group of common characters sharply distinguished from those of other Wolves, there is ample justification for distinguishing this group as a separate genus or subgenus for which the name
Aenocyon “
may be applied.
 The generic characters of Aenacg/on are found in the massiveness of skull and dentition, extreme overhang of the inion, shortness of the basicranial region posterior to the glenoid fossae, massiveness of the upper and lower carnassials, reduction of thc hypocone of M1, and probably in characters of the Skeleton not as yet available from other material than that obtained at Rancho La Broa.
 The genus Aenocyon was widely distributed over North America in Pleistocene time. Its range extended from the east to the west coast and from Mexico at least as far north as the upper portion of the Mississippi Valley. Whether its geographic range extended into the Canadian area is as yet uncertain. It is possible that the timber wolves of the Canis accídcntalís group occupied the northern portion of the continent eonteinporaneously with the maximum development of the Aenocyon group in the Sonoran region. The geologic range of Aenacyon is also still to be determined. A somewhat puzzling feature in the distribution of these wolves is found in their absence from the Pleistocene of Fossil Lake, Oregon. The Fossil Lake deposits contain a large vertebrate fauna representing a wide variety of forms and ranging from the largest to the smallest mammals and birds, and including representation of some of the most delicate osseous structures. Wolf remains are well known in this fauna, including bones of both timber wolves and coyotes, but as yet no representation of Aenocyon has been recognized in the collections from this locality. Had Acnncyon diras or any other member of the group been present in this region in numbers comparable to those known elsewhere in the Pleistocene it would presumably have left at least some trace of its presence. Its absence may be due to limited northern range, or to dept» sition of the Fossil Lake beds at a period earlier, or perhaps later, than that of Rancho La Brea and of other deposits in which specimens repre sentative of Aenucyon have been found.

Handling Machine-generated Statistics in Open Repositories

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Open repositories are open to EVERYONE. Unfortunately, that includes machines, or robots / “bots”, roaming around open repositories for various reasons, or even by chance, thus creating non-human-generated statistics for the repositories they visit. This issue is especially significant to open repositories, as subscription-based databases usually place more obstacles in the path of “bots”, including authentication and authorization. While acceptable usage of open repositories encompasses any human interaction meant to satisfy intellectual curiosity or engage professionally with the repository’s content, machinegenerated engagement is usually in bulk and does not serve research goals that the repository is designed to assist with. Machine-generated usage statistics could skew the accuracy of impact and engagement metrics for individual publications or entire repositories, thus impacting funding, perception, content acquisition policy and more. Therefore, an accurate measuring of engagement, usage, and their various metrics for open repositories requires effective methods of weeding out non-human-generated statistics. We have come up with a workflow to minimize machine-generated statistics as much as we can, identifying seven “layers” of “bot” activity, ranked by ease of detection and codified by the colors of the rainbow (ROYGBIV). The rainbow-theme color coding strives to divide machine generated activity in a repository by the ease of detection by information specialists administrating an open repository, suggesting methods and tools for the detection and handling of each category, when applicable. Red: DDoS attacks Orange: Crawler HTTP agents Yellow: Known blacklisted IP addresses Green: Newly found blacklisted IP addresses Blue: Non-blacklisted IP addresses behaving suspiciously Indigo: Bot disguised as VPN Violet: Bot client arrays Open repository statistics can virtually never be 100% “clean” of machine-generated impact. However, adhering to the workflow and using freely available tools can significantly reduce “noise” in the measurement of repository metrics, helping publishers and organizations make better informed decisions and providing a realistic usage picture. In this poster session we will discuss the various types of machine-generated statistics indicators and how to best detect them. The poster will also include future trends in bot activity and detection.

description: A series of greenhouse experiments was conducted to determine the effects of different sea water concentrations (0, 10, 20, 40, and 80%) on the growth of tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum L. var. Heatwave), bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L. var. California Wonder), and sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) at two different statges of growth (seedling and reproductive). Results indicated that each of the crops can tolerate different levels of saline water without significant reduction in growth. Tomatoes exhibited tolerance to 40% sea water at the seedling stage and 20% at the reproductive stage. Bell peppers were tolerant to 20% sea water at the seedling stage and 40% at the reproductive stage. Basil displayed tolerance to 40% sea water at the seedling stage and 80% at the reproductive stage. In all experiments, the electrical conductivity (EC) of soil extracts increased with increasing concentration of sea water. This study would suggest that at certain concentration, saline water can be utilized to irrigate selected vegetable and herb crops with economic importance in the Virgin Islands.

description: Die einstige Prunkstraße Décima fällt durch Kriminalität, Leerstand und Überfüllung des Straßenraums negativ auf, hat jedoch zugleich großes Potenzial durch gute öffentliche Anbindung, ihre Nähe zum historischen und touristischen Zentrum Bogotás und zum wichtigen Einkaufsviertel San Victorino. Dieser interessante Straßenzug wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit untersucht und anschließend die auf diesen Ort wirkenden Problematiken herausgefiltert. Auch andere Themen, wie öffentlicher Raum, soziale Inklusion und Sicherheitswahrnehmung, werden näher beleuchtet. Das städtebauliche Projekt konzentriert sich mit flexibel anwendbaren Tools auf mögliche Lösungen und Interventionen, welche diesen Problematiken sowie der physischen, sozialen wie emotionalen Segregation Bogotás entgegenwirken, um die Straße unter dem Blickwinkel der Stadt der Inklusion aufzuwerten und mit mehr Aufenthaltsqualität auszustatten. Anhand des Detailausarbeitungsgebiets 'Kulturknoten' wird die vorgeschlagene Strategie detaillierter angewandt und überprüft. Schaffung klarer Strukturen, Umnutzung, Durchmischung und Herstellung von Synergien zwischen den verschiedenen Bevölkerungsgruppen sowie Integration der Straßenverkäufer sind die Hauptziele unter der Devise Wohnbau, Sport, Kunst und Kultur für eine 'gleichere' Stadt. Denn die Macht des öffentlichen Raums liegt in seinem Einfluss auf die Gesellschaft. Straße verbindet: Eine Décima für alle!

At the same time, it has big potential through its proximity to the historic and touristic heart of Bogotá, an important shopping area, and good public transport connections. This interesting street is first analysed and main impacting problems are then filtered out. Furthermore, the general topics of public space, social inclusion and perception of safety are discussed. Via flexibly applicable tools, the following urban project focuses on possible solutions and interventions to counteract these problems, as well as the physical, social and emotional segregation of Bogotá. It aims at upgrading the street from the perspective of a City of Inclusion and providing it with more amenity values. The proposed strategy is then reviewed and applied in detail on the Cultural Node, the area around the intersection with Avenida Jiménez. Design of clear structures, reuse of buildings, social mix, creation of synergies between different population groups and integration of street vendors are the main goals under the central idea of housing, sports, art and culture for a 'more equal city'.Décima for all!

description: During the past 30 years, the West Indian sugarcane roolstalk borer weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) has spread from its original site of introduction to 15 counties throughout the Florida citrus industry where it is considered a major long-term threat. Approximately 25,000 acres of citrus have confirmed infestations of the weevil. Most of the infested acreage is exhibiting severe decline or is out of production. Currently, control methods for the larv ae are limited and chemical control for the adults appears to be only partially effective in severely infested groves and threatens current IPM strategies. At this time, biological controls have had limited success.

Experimental investigation of a model forming fabric
Creators: name: Gilchrist, Seth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Paper making involves three fabrics: forming, pressing, and drying. The forming fabric is responsible for sheet forming, the initial dewatering of a low concentration pulp suspension into a wet sheet of paper. In the process of forming, topographical and hydrodynamic marks can be transferred from the drainage media (the forming fabric) to the sheet produced. An experimental investigation of a model forming fabric was performed to identify the geometric parameters having the largest influence on hydrodynamic wire mark. The data were also compared with the numerical simulations of Huang. To simplify the problem, justifiable engineering simplifications were made. The second phase (the fibres) was removed and the machine-direction filaments were neglected. This reduced the problem to investigation of flow through a bank of dissimilar cylinders. It was desired to find the most important geometrical parameter to reduce flow non-uniformity in the paper side flow field. Particle image velocimetry, pressure drop and flow visualization tests were conducted to investigate the flow through the array of cylinders. It was found that with a cylinder surface separation of 0.75$\times$ the paper side cylinder diameter the pressure drop tended toward the sum of the rows, and the paper side flow field was nearly identical to the paper side row only flow field, regardless of the backing side cylinder dimensions and configuration. It was seen that when the pressure drop through the bank of cylinders was equal to the sum of the rows’ pressure drops the paper side flow field was the same as the paper side row only flow field. As such, pressure drop can act as an indication of when the machine side row will not affect the paper side flow field.

description: Nonrelativistic open string theory is defined by a worldsheet theory that produces a Galilean invariant string spectrum and is described at low energies by a nonrelativistic Yang-Mills theory. We study T-duality transformations in the path integral for the sigma model that describes nonrelativistic open string theory coupled to an arbitrary closed string background, described by a string Newton-Cartan geometry, Kalb-Ramond, and dilaton field. We prove that T-duality transformations map nonrelativistic open string theory to relativistic and noncommutative open string theory in the discrete light cone quantization (DLCQ), a quantization scheme relevant for Matrix string theory. We also show how the worldvolume dynamics of nonrelativistic open string theory described by the Dirac-Born-Infeld type action maps to the Dirac-Born-Infeld actions describing the worldvolume theories of the DLCQ of open string theory and noncommutative open string theory.

description: The relationship between morphological characteristics: stomatal frequency, stomatal pore length, surface wax, hardness of pod wall and pod susceptibility to P.palmivora infection was assessed in twelve selected cocoa clones of the Forastero and Trinitario types. Among these clones, significant variation was observed with respect to pod morphological characteristics and their responses to infection. A high positive correlation was obtained between the combined effect of stomatal frequency and pore length, and clonal susceptibility. This suggests that these two morphological characteristics together could be used as a selection criterion for the identification of resistant genotypes.

description: This work analyses and evaluates the so-called PopUpStudios, an intermediate-use of a former office building at Tautenhayngasse 22 in Vienna`s 15th district. The project is analysed from the point of view of the operators and users alike and put into a broader perspective by introducing the respective theoretical framework connected with issues of empty real-estate and intermediate-uses. The main aim of the thesis is to create guidelines for future intermediate- use projects. In this respect the PopUpStudios are juxtaposed with other co-working projects in Vienna that are characterised by different objectives and processes. On the one hand needs, ideal conditions and processes for co-working-projects should be identified. On the other hand the work is aiming at self-reflection in order to recognize and eliminate sources of errors in the initiation-phase as well as during the project monitoring.

description: Raising energy efficiency by an order is crucial when it comes to even getting close to slowing down man-made climate change, let alone stopping it. At the same time heatinvolving industrial processes are a pillar of modern society as is food production and both are not just supporting an ever-growing world population but are at the same time also expected to grow exponentially. This thesis will highlight possibilities to use low temperature waste heat and at the same time combine the efficiency-measure with a sustainable food-production-project that can be situated in the midst of its customers, instead of being in a far away rural area. Joining these two together as smoothly as possible, an overall increase of efficiency shall be demonstrated that does not sacrifice the need calculate economically in the long run. Carefully assessing the approach and planning the systems integration provides the basis for a showcase scenario: Saving energy from going to waste while simultaneously producing highly valuable fish-protein in an utmost sustainable way when it comes to energy-consumption, water-consumption, distance to the customer and of course an ecologically certified breeding-environment that does after all (also) put the well-being of the useful animal on top of the list. An all-rounder that will as well help directly to mitigate climate change and overfishing just like excessive transportrelated emissions, the overwhelming trade balance deficit when it comes to fish-imports, and even create local jobs. Stopping greenhouse gas emissions in a paradigm of constant and exponential growth needs nothing less than solving problems 'Seven at one blow'. For practical use, several calculations and assessments both of technical and economic nature are provided and backed up with real figures. As far as technological assumptions are concerned, the numbers may very well keep their value for a good amount of time, while the economic figures might on the other hand be out-of-date rather soon: Quickly changing subsidy regimes or market prices of both energy in its various forms and the produced fish as well as the feedstock, may vary strongly over time. To compensate for that, the emphasis is rather to put the technical options and the 'bigger picture' under the assumption that in the long run prices for fossil energy carriers and food will rather climb along with the intense need to mitigate climate change.

description: Using supersymmetry techniques analytical expressions for the average of the fidelity amplitude f_epsilon(tau)=< psi(0)| exp(2 pi i H_epsilon tau) exp(-2 pi i H_0 tau)| psi(0) > are obtained, where H_epsilon=H_0+(sqrt{epsilon}/(2 pi) )*V, and H_0 and H_epsilon are taken from the Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE) or the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE), respectively. As long as the perturbation strength is small compared to the mean level spacing, a Gaussian decay of the fidelity amplitude is observed, whereas for stronger perturbations a change to a single-exponential decay takes place, in accordance with results from literature. Close to the Heisenberg time tau=1, however, a partial revival of the fidelity is found, which hitherto remained unnoticed. Random matrix simulations have been performed for the three Gaussian ensembles. For the case of the GOE and the GUE they are in perfect agreement with the analytical results.

description: Public networks are exposed to port scans from the Internet. Attackers search for vulnerable services they can exploit. In large scan campaigns, attackers often utilize different machines to perform distributed scans, which impedes their detection and might also camouflage the actual goal of the scanning campaign. In this paper, we present a correlation algorithm to detect scans, identify potential relations among them, and reassemble them to larger campaigns. We evaluate our approach on real-world Internet traffic and our results indicate that it can summarize and characterize standalone and distributed scan campaigns based on their tools and intention.

description: We derive a holographic prediction of the deconfinement temperature $T_c$ at vanishing chemical potential within a simplest AdS/QCD model with dynamical dilaton. Our analysis leads to a linear relation between $T_c^4$ and the gluon condensate. After normalizing this relation to the lattice data for $SU(3)$ pure gauge theory, the standard phenomenological value of gluon condensate from QCD sum rules leads to the prediction $T_c=156$ MeV which is in a perfect agreement with the modern lattice results and freeze-out temperature measured by the ALICE Collaboration.

description: Diese Arbeit basiert zum Großteil auf ausgewählten Ergebnissen der Dissertation von Frau Dr. Karin Hirhager "Adapted Dependence with Applications to Financial and Actuarial Risk Management". Es werden notwendige Begriffe aus der Finanzmathematik erläutert, wie die Doob-Zerlegung, das Binomialmodel von Cox-Ross-Rubinstein und die Black-Scholes-Formel. In der fondsgebundenen Lebensversicherung wird in der Regel davon ausgegangen, dass die finanziellen und biometrischen Risiken unabhängig sind, die adaptierte Abhängigkeit bietet in diesem Sinne eine Lösung, bei der diese Risiken abhängig sein können. Der Fondsentwicklung wird die logarithmische Normalverteilung zugrunde gelegt. Es wird gezeigt, wie die adaptierte Abhängigkeit bei der Untersuchung der Fondsentwicklung eines Lebensversicherungsvertrages angewendet werden kann. Die Stoppzeitproblematik spielt dabei eine wichtige Rolle.
description: This work is based in large part on selected results of the doctoral theses "Adapted Dependence with Applications to Financial and Actuarial Risk Management" of Dr. Karin Hirhager. Necessary concepts of financial mathematics are explained, such as the Doob decomposition, the binomial model of Cox-Ross-Rubinstein and the Black-Scholes formula. In unit-linked life insurance the financial and biometric risks are generally independent, the adapted dependence has in this sense a solution in which these risks can be dependent. The fund's development is based on the lognormal distribution. It shows how the adapted dependence can be applied in the study of fund development on a life insurance contract. The stopping time issue is very important in this case.

General approach to the Lagrangian ambiguity in $f(R, T)$ gravity

description: The $f(R,T)$ gravity is a theory whose gravitational action depends arbitrarily on the Ricci scalar, $R$, and the trace of the stress-energy tensor, $T$; its field equations also depend on matter Lagrangian, $\mathcal{L}_{m}$. In the modified theories of gravity where field equations depend on Lagrangian, there is no uniqueness on the Lagrangian definition and the dynamics of the gravitational and matter fields can be different depending on the choice performed. In this work, we have eliminated the $\mathcal{L}_{m}$ dependence from $f(R,T)$ gravity field equations by generalizing the approach of Moraes [Eur. Phys. J. C 79(8), 674 (2019)]. We also propose a general approach where we argue that the trace of the energy-momentum tensor must be considered an "unknown" variable of the field equations. The trace can only depend on fundamental constants and few inputs from the standard model. Our proposal resolves two limitations: first the energy-momentum tensor of the $f(R,T)$ gravity is not the perfect fluid one; second, the Lagrangian is not well-defined. As a test of our approach we applied it to the study of the matter era in cosmology, and the theory can successfully describe a transition between a decelerated Universe to an accelerated one without the need for dark energy.

description: Bars in disc-dominated galaxies are able to drive gas inflow inside the corotation radius, thus enhancing the central star formation rate (SFR). Previous work, however, has found that disc-dominated galaxies with centrally suppressed SFR frequently host a bar. Here we investigate possible causes for the suppression of central SFR in such cases. We compare physical properties of a sample of disc-dominated barred galaxies with high central SFR (HC galaxies) with those of a sample of disc-dominated barred galaxies with low central SFR (LC galaxies). We find that the two samples have on average similar HI content and bars of similar strength. But we also find that the HCs have bluer colors than LCs, and that outside the bar region they host stronger spiral arms than the LCs where closed rings are more often seen. We discuss and evaluate the possible causes for the suppression of the central SFR in the LC galaxies as opposed to its enhancement in the HC galaxies.
