description: Circular polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) offers the possibility of detecting rotations of the universe and magnetic fields in the primeval universe or in distant clusters of galaxies. We used the Milano Polarimeter (MIPOL) installed at the Testa Grigia Observatory, on the italian Alps, to improve the existing upper limits to the CMB circular polarization at large angular scales. We obtain 95% confidence level upper limits to the degree of the CMB circular polarization ranging between 5.0x10^{-4} and 0.7x10^{-4} at angular scales between 8 and 24 deg, improving by one order of magnitude preexisting upper limits at large angular scales. Our results are still far from the nK region where today expectations place the amplitude of the V Stokes parameter used to characterize circular polarization of the CMB but improve the preexisting limit at similar angular scales. Our observations offered also the opportunity of characterizing the atmospheric emission at 33 GHz at the Testa Grigia Observatory.

history and mythology of Thrace

description: We present MYTHOTOPIA, a platform designed to provide a multifaceted experience to visitors of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, using the region's mythological heritage as a starting point. The platform's linguistic content is set to significantly enhance the current National Infrastructure for Digital Humanities and Greek Linguistic Research and Innovation APOLLONIS, in which ILSP/Athena R.C. is already actively involved as a beneficiary of one of the main sub-projects of the corresponding Act. MYTHOTOPIA consists of a multilingual and multimodal data corpus from the field of Humanities, which, through a specially designed content management system, features indexing, linking, and various types of search functionalities. The focus of the presentation is on the data corpora, emphasizing their content, the methodology used for their development, and their presentation through the database. MYTHOTOPIA's cultural content combines textual data (classic literary texts with their translations as well as originals in Greek and English), depictions of mythological themes in ancient art, sound files, videos, and original photographic material from the region. A key element of MYTHOTOPIA is a bilingual (Greek and English) thesaurus created for content entry, supporting appropriate indexing and retrieval of the original data. The thesaurus content covers the fields of archaeology, literature, mythology, and tourism. Additionally, geospatial data of interest were added to the database to link content to the real exploratory experience of visitors, while the long-term preservation and accessibility of heterogeneous original data were ensured through the use of the appropriate metadata schema.
Narratives of Colonial Algeria: A Microhistory of Dissidence and Incarceration, 1956–58
Creators: name: Le, Chau
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines an approximately two-year timeframe during the Algerian War wherein mass arrests of dissident French colonists known as pieds-noirs became commonplace. The legal proceedings that followed became a global spectacle reifying the colonial administration’s intolerance for insubordination from their own ethnic brethren. Tracing a number of cases tried in the Algerian armed forces tribunals, I explore the import of this epoch on the trajectory of pied-noir identity. As citizenship in French Algeria had always been determined by one’s ethnicity and religion, the conflict brought to light the pied-noir community’s pluralistic and multifaceted loyalties. Only a small fraction of their population supported the Algerian nationalists’ independence campaign, yet their collusion was enough to catalyze a severe reaction from a colonial legal body that had been relatively stable for decades. Against the backdrop of a shaky Fourth Republic and uncertain post-independence realities, pieds-noirs were finally made to re-evaluate the position of their community within Africa, Europe, and the broader postcolonial world. The trials and defendants discussed herein offer an insightful perspective on the motivations guiding dissident pieds-noirs and the implications for re-writings of this community’s contested history.

description: The melting of a homopolymer double-stranded (ds) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the dilute limit is studied numerically in the presence of an attractive and impenetrable surface on a simple cubic lattice. The two strands of the DNA are modeled using two self-avoiding walks, capable of interacting at complementary sites, thereby mimicking the base pairing. The impenetrable surface is modeled by restricting the DNA configurations at the $z\geq 0$ plane, with attractive interactions for monomers at $z=0$. Further, we consider two variants for $z=0$ occupations by ds segments, where one or two surface interactions are counted. This consideration has significant consequences, to the extent of changing the stability of the bound phase in the adsorbed state. Interestingly, adsorption changes from critical to first-order with a modified exponent on coinciding with the melting transition. For simulations, we use the pruned and enriched Rosenbluth algorithm.

description: The p-type point-contact germanium detectors are novel techniques offering kg-scale radiation sensors with sub-keV sensitivities. They have been used for light Dark Matter WIMPs searches and may have potential applications in neutrino physics. There are, however, anomalous surface behaviour which needs to be characterized and understood. We describe the methods and results of a research program whose goals are to identify the bulk and surface events via software pulse shape analysis techniques, and to devise calibration schemes to evaluate the selection efficiency factors. Efficiencies-corrected background spectra from the low-background facility at Kuo-Sheng Neutrino Laboratory are derived.

description: In this paper, we consider the possible effect of the teleparallel gravity on the production of the primordial black holes (PBH) and on the gravitational waves (GWs). We investigate the relationship between the slow roll, the e-folds number and the teleparallel parameters. We show that in the case of the teleparallel parameter $δ=3$, the e-folds number reaches the values $50$ and $60$ in consistency with the contour plot of the $(r,n_{s})$ plane obtained by Planck data at $1σ$ and $2σ$ C.L.. Furthermore, we use the fraction of the energy density and the variance of the density perturbations approach to study the abundance of the production PBH. We find that the PBH overproduction can be satisfied for specific values of parameters of the non-adiabatic curvature power spectrum at some narrow parametric resonance. Moreover, to explain the GWs expected by observations, the duration of preheating should be bounded by values less or equal to $2$. This bound is in agreement with values of the tensor-to-scalar ratio and the spectral index constrained by Planck data.

description: Dark gauge fields have been discussed as candidates for dark matter recently. If they existed, primordial dark magnetic fields during inflation would have existed. It is believed that primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) arise out of quantum fluctuations during inflation. We study the graviton-dark photon conversion process in the presence of background primordial dark magnetic fields and find that the process induces the tachyonic instability of the PGWs. As a consequence, a peak appears in the power spectrum of PGWs. It turns out that the peak height depends on the direction of observation. The peak frequency could be in the range from $10^{-5}$ to $10^{3}$ Hertz for GUT scale inflation. Hence, the observation of PGWs could provide a new window for probing primordial dark magnetic fields.

description: We present several estimates of the rate of simultaneous detection of the merging of a binary system of neutron stars in the electromagnetic and the gravitational wave domains, assuming that they produce short GRBs. We have based our estimations on a carefully selected sample of short gamma-ray bursts, corrected from redshift effects. The results presented in this paper are based on actual observation only. In the electromagnetic spectrum, we considered observations by current (Swift and Fermi}) and future (LOFT and SVOM) missions. In the gravitational wave domain, we consider detections by the Advanced Virgo instrument alone and the network of both Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We discuss on the possible biases present in our sample, and how to fix them. For present missions, assuming a detection in the following years, we find that we should observe simultaneously between 0.11 and 4.2 gravitational wave events per year with Swift} and Fermi} respectively. For future projects (LOFT and SVOM) we can expect less than one common detection per year. We check the consistency of our results with several previously published rate of detection of gravitational waves.

description: We obtain exact, simple and very compact expressions for the linearization coefficients of the products of orthogonal polynomials; both the conventional Clebsch-Gordan-type and the modified version. The expressions are general depending only on the coefficients of the three-term recursion relation of the linearizing polynomials. These are more appropriate and useful for doing numerical calculations when compared to other exact formulas found in the mathematics literature, some of which apply only to special class of polynomials while others may involve the evaluation of intractable integrals. As an application in physics, we present a remarkable phenomenon where nonlinear coupling in a physical system with pure continuous spectrum generates a mixed spectrum of continuous and discrete energies.

Using QCD sum rules, we consider contributions up to dimension six in the operator product expansion and work at leading order of $α_{s}$. The mass obtained for this state is $(4.05\pm 0.28) \mbox{GeV}$. It is concluded that $D^{*}\bar{D^{*}}$ molecular state is a possible candidate for $Z_{c}(4025)$.

description: In this paper we propose a new method for the automatic recognition of the state of behavioral sleep (BS) and waking state (WS) in freely moving rats using their electrocorticographic (ECoG) data. Three-channels ECoG signals were recorded from frontal left, frontal right and occipital right cortical areas. We employed a simple artificial neural network (ANN), in which the mean values and standard deviations of ECoG signals from two or three channels were used as inputs for the ANN. Results of wavelet-based recognition of BS/WS in the same data were used to train the ANN and evaluate correctness of our classifier. We tested different combinations of ECoG channels for detecting BS/WS. Our results showed that the accuracy of ANN classification did not depend on ECoG-channel. For any ECoG-channel, networks were trained on one rat and applied to another rat with an accuracy of at least 80~\%. Itis important that we used a very simple network topology to achieve a relatively high accuracy of classification. Our classifier was based on a simple linear combination of input signals with some weights, and these weights could be replaced by the averaged weights of all trained ANNs without decreases in classification accuracy. In all, we introduce a new sleep recognition method that does not require additional network training. It is enough to know the coefficients and the equations suggested in this paper. The proposed method showed very fast performance and simple computations, therefore it could be used in real time experiments. It might be of high demand in preclinical studies in rodents that require vigilance control or monitoring of sleep-wake patterns.

history and mythology of Thrace

description: Within the framework of the project "Mythological Routes in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace", Mythotopia was created, highlighting the cultural and tourist wealth of the area. The region is significant not only geographically or geomorphologically but also historically and archaeologically. Over the centuries, significant cultures developed on its lands. A particular characteristic is the coexistence and mixture of different cultural elements, leading to a unique multicultural result. The project uses as means to get acquainted with the area the myths handed down by ancient writers. Most of these myths are set or related in some way to the broader area or specific regions. Thus, beyond getting to know the place and creating personalized routes according to the searches of its visitors, the project aims to highlight these myths. Through their recording and projection, mapping, and identification of the corresponding areas, visitors learn unknown aspects of the rich local history, ancient Greek and Latin philology, archaeology, and many other elements.

description: We study the long-range quantum correlations in the anisotropic XY-model. By first examining the thermodynamic limit we show that employing the quantum discord as a figure of merit allows one to capture the main features of the model at zero temperature. Further, by considering suitably large site separations we find that these correlations obey a simple scaling behavior for finite temperatures, allowing for efficient estimation of the critical point. We also address ground-state factorization of this model by explicitly considering finite size systems, showing its relation to the energy spectrum and explaining the persistence of the phenomenon at finite temperatures. Finally, we compute the fidelity between finite and infinite systems in order to show that remarkably small system sizes can closely approximate the thermodynamic limit.

description: We study the structural properties like the gravitational mass, radius and tidal deformability of dark matter (DM) admixed strange quark stars (SQSs). For the purpose we consider the vector MIT Bag model to describe the strange quark matter (SQM) and investigate the possible presence of accreted DM in the SQSs consequently forming DM admixed SQSs. We introduce feeble interaction between SQM and the accreted fermionic DM via a vector dark boson mediator. Considering the present literature, in the context of possible presence of DM in SQSs, this work is the first to consider interaction between DM and SQM in the DM admixed SQSs. The mass of the DM fermion ($m_χ$) and the vector mediator ($m_ξ$) and the coupling ($y_ξ$) between them are determined in accordance with the constraint from Bullet cluster and the present day relic abundance, respectively. We find that the presence of DM reduces both the mass and radius of the star compared to the no-DM case. The massive the DM fermion, the lower the values of maximum mass and radius of the DM admixed SQSs. For the chosen values of $m_χ$ and corresponding values of $m_ξ$ and $y_ξ$, the computed structural properties of the DM admixed SQSs satisfy all the various present day astrophysical constraints.We obtain massive DM admixed SQSs configurations consistent with the GW190814 observational data. Hence the secondary compact object associated with this event may be a DM admixed SQS.

description: Compositional reinforcement learning is a promising approach for training policies to perform complex long-horizon tasks. Typically, a high-level task is decomposed into a sequence of subtasks and a separate policy is trained to perform each subtask. In this paper, we focus on the problem of training subtask policies in a way that they can be used to perform any task; here, a task is given by a sequence of subtasks. We aim to maximize the worst-case performance over all tasks as opposed to the average-case performance. We formulate the problem as a two agent zero-sum game in which the adversary picks the sequence of subtasks. We propose two RL algorithms to solve this game: one is an adaptation of existing multi-agent RL algorithms to our setting and the other is an asynchronous version which enables parallel training of subtask policies. We evaluate our approach on two multi-task environments with continuous states and actions and demonstrate that our algorithms outperform state-of-the-art baselines.

description: Pristine bilayer graphene behaves in some instances as an insulator with a transport gap of a few meV. This behaviour has been interpreted as the result of an intrinsic electronic instability induced by many-body correlations. Intriguingly, however, some samples of similar mobility exhibit good metallic properties, with a minimal conductivity of the order of $2e^2/h$. Here we propose an explanation for this dichotomy, which is unrelated to electron interactions and based instead on the reversible formation of boundaries between stacking domains (`solitons'). We argue, using a numerical analysis, that the hallmark features of the previously inferred many-body insulating state can be explained by scattering on boundaries between domains with different stacking order (AB and BA). We furthermore present experimental evidence, reinforcing our interpretation, of reversible switching between a metallic and an insulating regime in suspended bilayers when subjected to thermal cycling or high current annealing.

description: Within the framework of the dinuclear system model, the preequilibrium emission of neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, $^{3}$He, $α$, $^{6}$Li, $^{7}$Li, $^{8}$Be and $^{9}$Be in the transfer reactions of $^{12}$C + $^{209}$Bi, $^{40,48}$Ca+$^{238}$U, $^{238}$U+$^{238}$U and $^{238}$U+$^{248}$Cm has been systematically investigated. The production rate, kinetic energy spectra and emission angular distribution are calculated. It is found that the preequilibrium emission mechanism is associated with the reaction system and beam energy. The preequilibrium cross sections of proton, deuteron, triton and alpha are comparable in magnitude. The reaction with $^{40}$Ca is favorable for the cluster emission in comparison with $^{48}$Ca on $^{238}$U at the near barrier energy. A broad angular distribution of the preequilibrium cluster is found in the heavy systems $^{238}$U+$^{238}$U and $^{238}$U+$^{248}$Cm.

description: Ballistic transport through nanoscale devices with time-dependent Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction (SOI) can lead to spin-polarized wave packets that appear even for completely unpolarized input. The SOI that oscillates in a finite domain generates density and spin polarization fluctuations that leave the region as propagating waves. Particularly, spin polarization has space and time dependence even in regions without SOI. Our results are based on an analytic solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The relevant Floquet quasi-energies that are obtained appear in the energy spectrum of both the transmitted and reflected waves.

description: We study symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase transitions induced by stacking two gapped one-dimensional subsystems in BDI symmetry class. The topological invariant of the entire system is a sum of three topological invariants: two from each subsystem and an emerging topological invariant from the stacking. We find that any symmetry-preserving stacking of topologically trivial subsystems can drive the entire system into a topologically nontrivial phase. We explain this intriguing SPT phase transitions by conditions set by orbital degrees of freedom and time-reversal symmetry. To exemplify the SPT transition, we provide a concrete model which consists of an atomic chain and a spinful nanowire with spin-orbit interaction and $s$-wave superconducting order. The stacking-induced SPT transition drives this heterostructure into a zero-field topological superconducting phase.

description: Precise frequency and phase synchronization are among the important aspects in a coherent distributed phased array antenna system, and are among the most challenging to achieve for microwave frequencies and above. We propose a high accuracy distributed Kalman filter (HA-DKF) in which the nodes in the array perform consensus averaging on their locally shared measurements, the innovation noise covariances, and the KF-predicted as well as the KF-updated estimates and error covariances, yielding improved electrical state synchronization compared to other works in the literature. We evaluate the algorithm through simulation and show that it converges in fewer iterations and yields better electrical state synchronization than other algorithms.

From an examination of empirical literature ranging from social psychology to clinical research, we propose that self-transcendence may aid the endurance of suffering along three psychological levels: (1) On the level of affect, the unique profundity and positivity of self-transcendent experiences (e.g., awe, flow, compassion) may supersede and reduce the salience of negative affect arising from suffering (e.g., fear, despair, depressive mood). (2) On the level of cognition, the larger frame of reference provided by self-transcendent thinking may contextualize one’s suffering as something comprehendible, thereby helping to resolve the challenges of making meaning from suffering (e.g., that one’s existing meaning systems are unable to explain the suffering event). (3) On the level of motivation, the drive to fulfill one’s need for self-transcendence may counterbalance the more hedonically-oriented motivations that can promote negative coping strategies in response to suffering (e.g., avoidance, substance abuse). All three mechanisms may also provoke downstream prosocial behaviors that help embed the individual into networks of social support. Altogether, by synthesizing specific mechanisms from affective, cognitive, and motivational self-transcendent processes, our paper establishes a theoretical framework for how self-transcendence may help people endure and transcend suffering, thereby elevating the conditions and experiences of our existence.

description: Венд и нижний палеозой хорошо изучены. Спорным остается возраст маралихин-ской и чарышской свит. Дробное расчленение литолого-стратиграфических разрезов ордовика и силура не удается распространить на всю территорию структурно-фациальных зон из-за слабой палеонтологической изученности. Наиболее сложны для исследования девонские отложения. Это обусловлено очаговым распределением вулка-низма, частой сменой морских условий континентальными, сложным аллохтонным строением территории. Расчленение и корреляция девонских отложений в ряде случа-ев спорно. Установлено, что басаргинское местонахождение среднедевонских эле-ментов протоптеридиевой флоры имеет нижнеэмсский возраст.

description: We report multi-wavelength observations and characterization of the ultraluminous transient AT 2021lwx (ZTF20abrbeie; aka ``Barbie'') identified in the alert stream of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) using a Recommender Engine For Intelligent Transient Tracking (REFITT) filter on the ANTARES alert broker. From a spectroscopically measured redshift of 0.995, we estimate a peak observed pseudo-bolometric luminosity of log (L$_{\text{max}} / [\text{erg}/\text{s}]$) = 45.7 from slowly fading ztf-$\it{g}$ and ztf-$r$ light curves spanning over 1000 observer-frame days. The host galaxy is not detected in archival Pan-STARRS observations ($g > 23.3$ mag), implying a lower limit to the outburst amplitude of more than 5 mag relative to the quiescent host galaxy. Optical spectra from Lick and Keck Observatories exhibit strong emission lines with narrow cores from the H Balmer series and ultraviolet semi-forbidden lines of Si III] $λ$1892, C III] $λ$1909, and C II] $λ$2325. Typical nebular lines in AGN spectra from ions such as [O II] and [O III] are not detected. These spectral features, along with the smooth light curve that is unlike most AGN flaring activity, and the luminosity that exceeds any observed or theorized supernova, lead us to conclude that AT 2021lwx is most likely an extreme tidal disruption event (TDE). Modeling of ZTF photometry with MOSFiT suggests that the TDE was between a $\approx 14 M_{\odot}$ star and a supermassive black hole of mass $M_{\text{BH}} \sim$ $10^{8} M_{\odot}$. Continued monitoring of the still-evolving light curve along with deep imaging of the field once AT 2021lwx has faded can test this hypothesis and potentially detect the host galaxy.

description: It is shown that $A:=H_{1,η}(G)$, the Sympectic Reflection Algebra, has $T_G$ independent traces, where $T_G$ is the number of conjugacy classes of elements without eigenvalue 1 belonging to the finite group $G$ generated by the system of symplectic reflections. Simultaneously, we show that the algebra $A$, considered as a superalgebra with a natural parity, has $S_G$ independent supertraces, where $S_G$ is the number of conjugacy classes of elements without eigenvalue -1 belonging to $G$. We consider also $A$ as a Lie algebra $A^L$ and as a Lie superalgebra $A^S$. It is shown that if $A$ is a simple associative algebra, then the supercommutant $[A^{S},A^{S}]$ is a simple Lie superalgebra having at least $S_G$ independent supersymmetric invariant non-degenerate bilinear forms, and the quotient $[A^L,A^L]/([A^L,A^L]\cap\mathbb C)$ is a simple Lie algebra having at least $T_G$ independent symmetric invariant non-degenerate bilinear forms.

description: We study the unconventional photon blockade, recently proposed for a coupled-cavity system, in presence of input and output quantum fields. Mixing of the input or output channels still allows strong photon antibunching of the output field, but for optimal values of the system parameters that differ substantially from those that maximize antibunching of the intracavity field. This result shows that the specific input-output geometry in a photonic system determines the optimal design in view of single-photon device operation. We provide a compact analytical formula that allows finding the optimal parameters for each specific system geometry.

Входными факторами модели служат месячные осадки и среднемесячные температу-ры воздуха. Метеорологические характеристики рассчитываются в процентах от их среднемноголетних значений и усредняются по всей площади исследуемой террито-рии. Сток прогнозируется на три месяца вперед с трехкратно меньшей дисперсией, чем у прогноза по среднемноголетнему значению. Качество прогноза характеризуется критерием Нэша-Сатклиффа NSE >0,68 и является очень высоким для долгосрочных прогнозов половодья.
Quasirelativistic Langevin equation

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We address the problem of a microscopic derivation of the Langevin equation for a weakly relativistic Brownian particle. A non-covariant Hamiltonian model is adopted, in which the free motion of particles is described relativistically, while their interaction is treated classically, i.e. by means of action-to-a-distance interaction potentials. Relativistic corrections to the classical Langevin equation emerge as nonlinear dissipation terms and originate from the nonlinear dependence of the relativistic velocity on momentum. On the other hand, similar nonlinear dissipation forces also appear as classical (non-relativistic) corrections to the weak-coupling approximation. It is shown that these classical corrections, which are usually ignored in phenomenological models, may be of the same order of magnitude, if not larger than relativistic ones. The interplay of relativistic corrections and classical beyond-the-weak-coupling contributions determines the sign of the leading nonlinear dissipation term in the Langevin equation, and thus is qualitatively important.

title: Biaxial Bending and Lateral-Torsional Instability of Imperfect FRP I-Beams Including Effects of Retrofitting
Creators: name: Knorowski, Jodi Marie
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: This thesis presents the outcome of a theoretical and experimental study of the behavior of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) I-beams susceptible to lateral-torsional instability or when subjected to biaxial bending. Laboratory experiments involved application of vertical and horizontal static loads to a 4 x 4 x ¼ in. I-beam with various lengths, and the resulting displacement, twist, and strain were recorded. In the vertical direction, the beam was loaded from different reference load heights with respect to the shear center of the beam. The governing biaxial flexure and torsion differential equations were modified to account for the presence of initial imperfections and subsequently solved using a central finite-difference scheme. The theoretical predictions of the beam behavior were generally found to be in good agreement with that observed in the laboratory. It was also found that retrofitting the beam with a layer of Kevlar fabric on the tensile flange provided some lateral resistance; however, it did not result in any significant influence on the major axis flexural or torsional stiffness. The reference load height has a very significant effect on the instability load of the beam. A comparison between the experimental data for uniaxial bending and design equations in a proposed ASCE-FRP Standard for lateral-torsional buckling showed that these equations are conservative only when flexural resistance factors are applied. There remains a need for further research to develop and expand this standard.

description: Two particles can collide inside a nonextremal black hole in such a way that the energy E_{c.m.} in their centre of mass frame becomes as large as one likes. We show that this effect can be understood with the help of a simple analogy with particle collisions in flat space-time. As the two-dimensional part of near-horizon geometry inside a black hole is described by the flat Milne metric, the results have a general character. Full classification of scenarios with unbound E_{c.m.} is suggested. Some scenarios of this kind require proximity of collision to the bifurcation point, but for some other ones this is not necessary.
