Sociology of emotions

description: Since the implementation of preventive and compulsory social isolation, every night at 9:00 p.m. thousands of Argentines applaud the health system personnel from their patios, balconies and windows in support of their daily tasks.The purpose of this article is to present a critical analysis of the applause that the Argentine population offers as an emotional support for workers in the health sector in times of Covid-19. To achieve this objective, the following ar-gumentative strategy is followed: a) the relationship between heroes and spectators in a spec-tacularized society is described; b) second, a series of videos of different cities with structural diversity (social class, scale) from the virtual ethnography will be analysed; c) third, applause as an emotion is analysed according to the contexts of its production from the perspective of the sociology of bodies/emotions. Finally, the paper concludes with some questions about the relationship between public health and sensibilities in the post-Covid-19 era.

description: Quantum-mechanical calculations of electron magnetotransport in graphene Fabry-Pérot interferometers are presented with a focus on the role of spatial structure of edge channels. For an interferometer that is made by removing carbon atoms, which is typically realized in nanolithography experiments, the constrictions are shown to cause strong inter-channel scattering that establishes local equilibrium and makes the electron transport non-adiabatic. Nevertheless, two-terminal conductance reveals a common Aharonov-Bohm oscillation pattern, independent of crystallographic orientation, which is accompanied by single-particle states that sweep through the Fermi energy for the edge channels circulating along the physical boundary of the device. The interferometer constrictions host the localized states that might shorten the device or disrupt the oscillation pattern. For an interferometer that is created by electrostatic confinement, which is typically done in the split-gate experiments, electron transport is shown to be adiabatic if the staggered potential is introduced additionally into the model. Interference visibility decays exponentially with temperature with a weaker dependence at low temperature.

description: In this paper, we revisit the inconsistency problem of EKF-based cooperative localization (CL) from the perspective of system decomposition. By transforming the linearized system used by the standard EKF into its Kalman observable canonical form, the observable and unobservable components of the system are separated. Consequently, the factors causing the dimension reduction of the unobservable subspace are explicitly isolated in the state propagation and measurement Jacobians of the Kalman observable canonical form. Motivated by these insights, we propose a new CL algorithm called KD-EKF which aims to enhance consistency. The key idea behind the KD-EKF algorithm involves perform state estimation in the transformed coordinates so as to eliminate the influencing factors of observability in the Kalman observable canonical form. As a result, the KD-EKF algorithm ensures correct observability properties and consistency. We extensively verify the effectiveness of the KD-EKF algorithm through both Monte Carlo simulations and real-world experiments. The results demonstrate that the KD-EKF outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of accuracy and consistency.

description: In the performance evaluation of a protocol for a vehicular ad hoc network, the protocol should be tested under a realistic conditions including, representative data traffic models, and realistic movements of the mobile nodes which are the vehicles (i.e., a mobility model). This work is a comparative study between two mobility models that are used in the simulations of vehicular networks, i.e., MOVE (MObility model generator for VEhicular networks) and CityMob, a mobility pattern generator for VANET. We describe several mobility models for VANET simulations. In this paper we aim to show that the mobility models can significantly affect the simulation results in VANET networks. The results presented in this article prove the importance of choosing a suitable real world scenario for performances studies of routing protocols in this kind of network.

description: Highly turbulent nature of convection on the Sun causes strong multi-scale interaction of subsurface layers with the photosphere and chromosphere. According to realistic 3D radiative MHD numerical simulations ubiquitous small-scale vortex tubes are generated by turbulent flows below the visible surface and concentrated in the intergranular lanes. The vortex tubes can capture and amplify magnetic field, penetrate into chromospheric layers and initiate quasi-periodic flow eruptions that generates Alfvénic waves, transport mass and energy into the solar atmosphere. The simulations revealed high-speed flow patterns, and complicated thermodynamic and magnetic structures in the erupting vortex tubes. The spontaneous eruptions are initiated and driven by strong pressure gradients in the near-surface layers, and accelerated by the Lorentz force in the low chromosphere. In this paper, the simulation data are used to further investigate the dynamics of the eruptions, their spectro-polarimetric characteristics for the Fe I 6301.5 and 6302.5 A spectral lines, and demonstrate expected signatures of the eruptions in the Hinode SP data. We found that the complex dynamical structure of vortex tubes (downflows in the vortex core and upflows on periphery) can be captured by the Stokes I profiles. During an eruption, the ratio of down and upflows can suddenly change, and this effect can be observed in the Stokes V profile. Also, during the eruption the linear polarization signal increases, and this also can be detected with Hinode SP.

description: The rise of high energy astrophysics and solar physics in the 20th century is linked to the development of space telescopes; since the 1960s they have given access to the X-ray and gamma-ray sky, revealing the most violent phenomena in the Universe. Research and developments in imaging concepts and sensing materials haven't stopped since yet to improve the sensitivity of the X-ray and gamma-ray observatories. The paper proposes an overview of instrument realizations and focuses on the innovative detection techniques and technologies for applications from 0.1 keV to 10 MeV energy range. Solid-state detectors are prominent solutions for space instrumentation because of their excellent imaging and spectroscopic capabilities with limited volume and power resources. Various detection concepts based on semiconductors (Compton camera, Cd(Zn)Te pixel hybrids, DePFET active pixel sensors) are under design or fabrication for the near-future missions like Astro-H, BepiColombo, Solar Orbiter. New technologies on sensing materials, front-end electronics, interconnect processes are under study for the next generation of instruments to push back our knowledge of star and galaxy formation and evolution.

description: Volatile secondary metabolite profiles of 20 wild populations of six taxa from four sections of Turkish Hypericum (Hypericaceae; H. orientale, H. bupleuroides, H. venustum, H. hirsutum, H. linarioides and H. androsaemum) were investigated by solid-phase microextraction supported gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses for the first time. All tested volatiles were dominated mainly by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenes, but major volatile components and the range of each ingredient varied greatly with populations. A total of 288 compounds were identified accounting for 100% of the total volatiles, H. orientale being the richest with 64 components and H. linarioides the poorest with 41 components. Multivariate techniques namely, hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis were performed to segregate the samples in terms of geographical origin and botanical section. The results indicated the tested populations as possible novel chemotypes and their volatile profiles and components were not of significant chemotaxonomic value. Such data are crucial in identifying heterogeneous germplasms and possibly beneficial in clarifying evolutionary relationships within the botanical sections of the genus Hypericum.

description: Consider a random planar point process whose law is invariant under planar isometries. We think of the process as a random distribution of point charges and consider the electric field generated by the charge distribution. In Part I of this work, we found a condition on the spectral side which characterizes when the field itself is invariant with a well-defined second-order structure. Here, we fix a process with an invariant field, and study the fluctuations of the flux through large arcs and curves in the plane. Under suitable conditions on the process and on the curve, denoted $Γ$, we show that the asymptotic variance of the flux through $R\,Γ$ grows like $R$ times the signed length of $Γ$. As a corollary, we find that the charge fluctuations in a dilated Jordan domain is asymptotic with the perimeter, provided only that the boundary is rectifiable. The proof is based on the asymptotic analysis of a closely related quantity (the complex electric action of the field along a curve). A decisive role in the analysis is played by a signed version of the classical Ahlfors regularity condition.

description: In the discussion of hadronization at or close to the freeze-out curve statistical (hadron resonance gas) models play an important role. In particular, in the charmonium sector, regeneration models are considered which rely on the fact that charmonium states can form again already at temperatures well above the QCD transition or hadronization temperature. An important ingredient in these considerations is the regeneration or hadronization of open charm states. In this talk we report on a lattice QCD analysis of correlations of open strange and charm with other conserved quantum numbers like the net baryon number and electric charge. We analyze the temperature range in which an uncorrelated hadron resonance gas (HRG) provides an adequate description of such correlations. This limits the range of validity of HRG based thermodynamics in open flavor channels and provides an estimate for the melting temperature of heavy-light hadrons.

description: Scrambling of quantum information in unitary evolution can be hindered due to measurements and localization, which pin quantum mechanical wavefunctions in real space suppressing entanglement in the steady state. In monitored free-fermionic models, the steady state undergoes an entanglement transition from a logarithmically entangled critical state to area-law. However, disorder can lead to Anderson localization. We investigate free fermions in a random potential with continuous monitoring, which enables us to probe the interplay between measurement-induced and localized phases. We show that the critical phase is stable up to a finite disorder and the criticality is consistent with the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless universality. Furthermore, monitoring destroys localization, and the area-law phase at weak dissipation exhibits power-law decay of single-particle wave functions. Our work opens the avenue to probe this novel phase transition in electronic systems of quantum dot arrays and nanowires, and allow quantum control of entangled states.

description: Colour variation in crocodilians is associated with size, environment and genetic structure, but little is known about colour variation in the genus Paleosuchus (Alligatoridae). Different genetic lineages of Paleosuchus palpebrosus (Dwarf caiman) occupy different environments throughout the species extensive distribution, and all are cryptically coloured. We captured 187 P. palpebrosus and recorded their head colour from four genetically distinct geographic clades between 2008 and 2019. Additionally, we determined the jaw and belly spot pattern of a subsample of 95 individuals (22–109 cm snout-vent length). PERMANCOVA was used to investigate the relationships between head colour and spot patterns, to the caiman size, sex, and geographic lineage, as well as ambient temperature. Variation in head colour, and jaw and belly spot patterns, were related to genetic lineage, snout-vent length and temperature, but the model explained only ~45.4% of the variance in the data. Sex was not significantly related to the head colour, or jaw and belly spot patterns. Dwarf caimans inhabiting cooler climates tend to be darker than individuals from warmer areas, and individuals from the “Cerrado-Pantanal” and “Bolivia” lineages generally darker than the “Amazon” and “Madeira” lineages. However, individuals of a given size in different lineages overlap greatly in colour patterns and colour alone could not be used to distinguish lineages. The Natterer's hypothesis of head-colour as diagnose from “Cerrado-Pantanal” lineage, cannot be completely accepted according our quantitative analysis, although there are a variation in the geographic distribution of these phenotypic traits, and the “Cerrado-Pantanal” lineage had been the most distinct among the lineages.

description: By utilizing only depth information, the paper introduces a novel but efficient local planning approach that enhances not only computational efficiency but also planning performances for memoryless local planners. The sampling is first proposed to be based on the depth data which can identify and eliminate a specific type of in-collision trajectories in the sampled motion primitive library. More specifically, all the obscured primitives' endpoints are found through querying the depth values and excluded from the sampled set, which can significantly reduce the computational workload required in collision checking. On the other hand, we furthermore propose a steering mechanism also based on the depth information to effectively prevent an autonomous vehicle from getting stuck when facing a large convex obstacle, providing a higher level of autonomy for a planning system. Our steering technique is theoretically proved to be complete in scenarios of convex obstacles. To evaluate effectiveness of the proposed DEpth based both Sampling and Steering (DESS) methods, we implemented them in the synthetic environments where a quadrotor was simulated flying through a cluttered region with multiple size-different obstacles. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed approach can considerably decrease computing time in local planners, where more trajectories can be evaluated while the best path with much lower cost can be found. More importantly, the success rates calculated by the fact that the robot successfully navigated to the destinations in different testing scenarios are always higher than 99.6% on average.

description: Plant cell suspension culture, along with elicitor application, is a suitable technique to obtain large amounts of bioactive compounds. Haplophyllum virgatum is an Iranian endemic plant species. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is widely used as a nitric oxide (NO) donor in studies on plants to investigate the physiological roles of NO. Here, the physiological responses were investigated in cell suspension cultures of H. virgatum in the presence of different concentrations of SNP (0, 100, 150, and 200 µM) at various time points (0, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 168 h). The transcript levels of two flavonoid biosynthetic enzymes, including chalcone synthase (CHS) and chalcone isomerase (CHI), and an important transcription factor (R2R3-MYB), were measured in the SNP-treated cells. The content of rutin (the main flavonoid in the Rutaceae family) was also evaluated. Nitric oxide significantly decreased the hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde contents by increasing the proline and enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants in the treated cells. Meanwhile, NO significantly elicited flavonoid production, including rutin. These results highlight the effects of NO on flavonoid biosynthesis in H. virgatum suspension cells, probably through gene expression regulation in and upstream of the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway.

description: Geological carbon storage represents one of the few truly scalable technologies capable of reducing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. While this technology has the potential to scale, its success hinges on our ability to mitigate its risks. An important aspect of risk mitigation concerns assurances that the injected CO2 remains within the storage complex. Amongst the different monitoring modalities, seismic imaging stands out with its ability to attain high resolution and high fidelity images. However, these superior features come, unfortunately, at prohibitive costs and time-intensive efforts potentially rendering extensive seismic monitoring undesirable. To overcome this shortcoming, we present a methodology where time-lapse images are created by inverting non-replicated time-lapse monitoring data jointly. By no longer insisting on replication of the surveys to obtain high fidelity time-lapse images and differences, extreme costs and time-consuming labor are averted. To demonstrate our approach, hundreds of noisy time-lapse seismic datasets are simulated that contain imprints of regular CO2 plumes and irregular plumes that leak. These time-lapse datasets are subsequently inverted to produce time-lapse difference images used to train a deep neural classifier. The testing results show that the classifier is capable of detecting CO2 leakage automatically on unseen data and with a reasonable accuracy.

description: Motivated by recent cold atom experiments, we study the relaxation of spin helices in quantum XXZ spin chains. The experimentally observed relaxation of spin helices follows scaling laws that are qualitatively different from linear-response transport. We construct a theory of the relaxation of helices, combining generalized hydrodynamics (GHD) with diffusive corrections and the local density approximation. Although helices are far from local equilibrium (so GHD need not apply a priori), our theory reproduces the experimentally observed relaxational dynamics of helices. In particular, our theory explains the existence of temporal regimes with apparent anomalous diffusion, as well as the asymmetry between positive and negative anisotropy regimes.

description: This study aims to document the ethnobotanical knowledge of rural people from different villages of Agaya Narah Gram Panchayat, West Bengal, India. A total of 67 informants from nine ethnic communities were interviewed, and the collected information was examined qualitatively and quantitatively using various ethnobotanical indices such as use value (UV), informative consensus factor (Fic), fidelity value (FL) and Jaccard index (JI). We documented 32 plants belonging to 21 families and 32 genera. The most represented family is Apocynaceae (6 species), and the most used plant part is the fruit. The quantitative analysis revealed that the UV of the plants ranged from 0.12 to 0.66, while the Fic was found to be the highest (1.0) for worm disease, eye disease, and arthritis. Thirteen plants were found to possess a 100% FL value for different diseases. A high degree of similarity index (JI value) was calculated when compared with a study reported from the Jatasankar Region, Gujarat, India. The inhabitants of the study area have sound knowledge of the medicinal use of plants, which needs to be further investigated through systematic research.

Purpose – Due to its key role in the successful delivery of construction projects, construction productivity is one of the most researched topics in construction domain. While the majority of previous research is focused on the productivity of labor-intensive activities, there is a lack of research on the productivity of equipment-intensive activities. The purpose of this paper is to address this research gap by developing a comprehensive list of factors influencing the productivity of equipment-intensive activities and determining the most influential factors through interview surveys.

Design/methodology/approach – A list of 201 factors influencing the productivity of equipment-intensive activities was developed through the review of 287 articles, selected from the ten top-ranked construction journals, by searching for construction productivity in the articles’ titles, abstracts or keywords. Next, the most influential factors were determined by conducting interview surveys with 35 construction experts. To ensure that the interviewees were aware of the research objectives and the distinction between labor- and equipment-intensive activities, an information session was held prior to conducting the surveys, and the surveys were conducted in interview format to allow for clarification and discussion throughout the process.

Findings – Project management respondents identified foreman-, safety- and crew-related factors as the categories with the most influence on productivity; tradespeople respondents identified foreman-, equipment- and crew-related factors as the most influential categories. In total, 14 factors were identified, for which there was a significant difference between the perspectives of project management and tradespeople regarding the factors’ influence on productivity.

Originality/value – This paper provides a comprehensive list of factors influencing the productivity of equipment-intensive activities. It identifies the most influential factors through an interview survey of 35 construction experts, who are familiar with the challenges of equipment-intensive activities based on their experience with such activities in the industrial construction sector of Alberta, Canada. Additionally, the differences between the factors that influence the productivity of labor- and equipment-intensive activities are discussed by comparing the findings of this paper with previous research focused on labor intensive activities.

description: Visual commonsense understanding requires Vision Language (VL) models to not only understand image and text but also cross-reference in-between to fully integrate and achieve comprehension of the visual scene described. Recently, various approaches have been developed and have achieved high performance on visual commonsense benchmarks. However, it is unclear whether the models really understand the visual scene and underlying commonsense knowledge due to limited evaluation data resources. To provide an in-depth analysis, we present a Multimodal Evaluation (ME) pipeline to automatically generate question-answer pairs to test models' understanding of the visual scene, text, and related knowledge. We then take a step further to show that training with the ME data boosts the model's performance in standard VCR evaluation. Lastly, our in-depth analysis and comparison reveal interesting findings: (1) semantically low-level information can assist the learning of high-level information but not the opposite; (2) visual information is generally under utilization compared with text.
