description: The activity of growing living bacteria was investigated using real-time and in situ rheology -- in stationary and oscillatory shear. Two different strains of the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus -- strain COL and its isogenic cell wall autolysis mutant -- were considered in this work. For low bacteria density, strain COL forms small clusters, while the mutant, presenting deficient cell separation, forms irregular larger aggregates. In the early stages of growth, when subjected to a stationary shear, the viscosity of both strains increases with the population of cells. As the bacteria reach the exponential phase of growth, the viscosity of the two strains follow different and rich behaviours, with no counterpart in the optical density or in the population's colony forming units measurements. While the viscosity of strain COL keeps increasing during the exponential phase and returns close to its initial value for the late phase of growth, where the population stabilizes, the viscosity of the mutant strain decreases steeply, still in the exponential phase, remains constant for some time and increases again, reaching a constant plateau at a maximum value for the late phase of growth. These complex viscoelastic behaviours, which were observed to be shear stress dependent, are a consequence of two coupled effects: the cell density continuous increase and its changing interacting properties. The viscous and elastic moduli of strain COL, obtained with oscillatory shear, exhibit power-law behaviours whose exponent are dependent on the bacteria growth stage. The viscous and elastic moduli of the mutant have complex behaviours, emerging from the different relaxation times that are associated with the large molecules of the medium and the self-organized structures of bacteria. These behaviours reflect nevertheless the bacteria growth stage.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The study explores the work-life balance experiences of women in white-collar jobs in Coimbatore city. A mixedmethods approach was employed, combining survey data from 145 women with in-depth interviews. The results reveal that women in white-collar jobs face significant challenges in achieving work-life balance, including long working hours, limited flexibility, and inadequate support from employers. The study identifies several strategies for promoting work-life balance, including flexible work arrangements, employee wellness programs, and caregiver support. The findings have implications for employers, policymakers, and individuals seeking to promote sustainable development and improve the well-being of women in white-collar jobs.
Exact classical sphere-plate Casimir interaction in (D+1)-dimensional spacetime

description: We consider the high temperature limit of the Casimir interaction between a Dirichlet sphere and a Dirichlet plate due to the vacuum fluctuations of a scalar field in $(D+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The high temperature leading term of the Casimir free interaction energy is known as the classical term since it does not depend on the Planck constant $\hbar$. From the functional representation of the zero temperature Casimir interaction energy, we use Matsubara formalism to derive the classical term. It can be expressed as a weighted sum over logarithms of determinants. Using similarity transforms of matrices, we re-express this classical term as an infinite series. This series is then computed exactly using generalized Abel-Plana summation formula. From this, we deduce the short distance asymptotic expansions of the classical Casimir interaction force. As expected, the leading term agrees with the proximity force approximation. The next two terms in the asymptotic expansion are also computed. It is observed that the ratio of the next-to-leading order term to the leading order term is proportional to the dimension of spacetime. Hence, a larger correction to the proximity force approximation is expected in spacetime with higher dimensions. This is similar to a previous result deduced for the zero temperature case.

description: We show that two, non interacting, infinitely long spin chains can become globally entangled at the mesoscopic level of their fluctuation operators through a purely noisy microscopic mechanism induced by the presence of a common heat bath. By focusing on a suitable class of mesoscopic observables, the behaviour of the dissipatively generated quantum correlations between the two chains is studied as a function of the dissipation strength and bath temperature.

Effect of SDW fluctuations on the specific heat jump in iron pnictides at a superconducting transition

description: Measurements of the specific heat jump at the onset of superconducting transition in the iron-pnictide compounds revealed strong variation of its magnitude as a function of doping that is peaked near the optimal doping. We show that this behavior is direct manifestation of the coexistence between spin-density-wave and superconducting orders and the peak originates from thermal fluctuations of the spin-density-waves near the end point of the coexistence phase -- a tetracritical point. Thermal fluctuations result in a power-law dependence of the specific heat jump that is stronger than the contribution of mass renormalization due to quantum fluctuations of spin-density-waves in the vicinity of the putative critical point beneath the superconducting dome.

description: The particular giant X-ray bump of GRB 121027A triggered by \emph{Swift} is quite different from the typical X-ray flares in gamma-ray bursts. There exhibit four parts of the observed structural variabilities in the rise and decay phase of the bump. Considering the quality of four parts of the data, we can only analyze the data from about 5300 s to about 6100 s in the bump using the stepwise filter correlation method (Gao et al. 2012), and find that the $86^{+5.9}_{-9.4}~\rm s$ periodic oscillation may exist, which is confirmed by the Lomb-Scargle method (Scargle 1982). Furthermore, a jet precession model (Liu et al. 2010) is proposed to account for such a variability.

Adapting Software Quality Models: Practical Challenges, Approach, and First Empirical Results

description: Measuring and evaluating software quality has become a fundamental task. Many models have been proposed to support stakeholders in dealing with software quality. However, in most cases, quality models do not fit perfectly for the target application context. Since approaches for efficiently adapting quality models are largely missing, many quality models in practice are built from scratch or reuse only high-level concepts of existing models. We present a tool-supported approach for the efficient adaptation of quality models. An initial empirical investigation indicates that the quality models obtained applying the proposed approach are considerably more consistently and appropriately adapted than those obtained following an ad-hoc approach. Further, we could observe that model adaptation is significantly more efficient (~factor 8) when using this approach.

description: UHECRs have attracted a lot of attention due to their challengingly high energies and their potential value to constrain physical processes and astrophysical parameters in the most energetic sources of the universe. Current detectors have failed to detect significant anisotropies which had been expected to allow source identification. Some indications about the UHECR composition, which may become heavier at the highest energies, has even put into question the possibility that such a goal could be achieved soon. We investigate the potential value of a new-generation detector, with 10 times larger exposure, to overcome the current situation and make significant progress in the detection of anisotropies and thus in the study of UHECRs. We take as an example the expected performances of the JEM-EUSO, assuming a uniform full-sky coverage with a total exposure of 300,000 km2 sr yr. We simulate realistic UHECR sky maps for a wide range of possible astrophysical scenarios allowed by the current constraints, taking into account the energy losses and photo-dissociation of the UHECRs, as well as their deflections by magnetic fields. These sky maps, built for the expected statistics of JEM-EUSO as well as for the current Auger statistics, as a reference, are analyzed from the point of view of their intrinsic anisotropies, using the two-point correlation function. A statistical study of the resulting anisotropies is performed for each astrophysical scenario, varying the UHECR source composition and spectrum as well as the source density. We find that significant anisotropies are expected to be detected by a next-generation UHECR detector, for essentially all the astrophysical scenarios studied, and give precise, quantitative meaning to this statement. Our results show that a gain of one order of magnitude in exposure would make a significant difference compared to the existing detectors.

description: A novel effect of fast heating and charging a finite-radius plasma is discovered in the context of plasma wakefield acceleration. As the plasma wave breaks, the most of its energy is transferred to plasma electrons which create strong charge-separation electric field and azimuthal magnetic field around the plasma. The slowly varying field structure is preserved for hundreds of wakefield periods and contains (together with hot electrons) up to 80% of the initial wakefield energy.

description: [Abridged] To effectively investigate galaxy formation and evolution, it is of paramount importance to exploit homogeneous data for large samples of galaxies in different environments. The WINGS (WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey) project aim is to evaluate physical properties of galaxies in a complete sample of low redshift clusters to be used as reference sample for evolutionary studies. The WINGS survey is still ongoing and the original dataset will soon be enlarged with new observations. This paper presents the entire collection of WINGS measurements obtained so far. We decided to make use of the Virtual Observatory (VO) tools to share the WINGS database (that will be regularly updated) with the community. In the database each object has one unique identification (WINGSID). Each subset of estimated properties is accessible using a simple cone search (including wide-field images). We provide the scientific community the entire set of wide-field images. Furthermore, the published database contains photometry of 759,024 objects and surface brightness analysis for 42,275 and 41,463 galaxies in the V and B band, respectively. The completeness depends on the image quality, and on the cluster redshift, reaching on average 90% at V<= 21.7. Near infrared photometric catalogs for 26 (in K) and 19 (in J) clusters are part of the database and the number of sources is 962,344 in K and 628,813 in J. Here again the completeness depends on the data quality, but it is on average higher than 90% for J<=20.5 and K<=19.4. The IR subsample with a Sersic fit comprises 71,687 objects. A morphological classification is available for 39,923 galaxies. We publish spectroscopic data, including 6,132 redshifts, 5,299 star formation histories and 4,381 equivalent widths. Finally, a calculation of local density is presented and implemented in the VO catalogs for 66,164 galaxies.

description: Evolutionary game theory has become one of the most diverse and far reaching theories in biology. Applications of this theory range from cell dynamics to social evolution. However, many applications make it clear that inherent non-linearities of natural systems need to be taken into account. One way of introducing such non-linearities into evolutionary games is by the inclusion of multiple players. An example is of social dilemmas, where group benefits could e.g.\ increase less than linear with the number of cooperators. Such multiplayer games can be introduced in all the fields where evolutionary game theory is already well established. However, the inclusion of non-linearities can help to advance the analysis of systems which are known to be complex, e.g. in the case of non-Mendelian inheritance. We review the diachronic theory and applications of multiplayer evolutionary games and present the current state of the field. Our aim is a summary of the theoretical results from well-mixed populations in infinite as well as finite populations. We also discuss examples from three fields where the theory has been successfully applied, ecology, social sciences and population genetics. In closing, we probe certain future directions which can be explored using the complexity of multiplayer games while preserving the promise of simplicity of evolutionary games.

Using Early Quality Assurance Metrics to Focus Testing Activities

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Testing of software or software-based systems and services is considered as one of the most effort-consuming activities in the lifecycle. This applies especially to those domains where highly iterative development and continuous integration cannot be applied. Several approaches have been proposed to use measurement as a means to improve test effectiveness and efficiency. Most of them rely on using product data, historical data, or in-process data that is not related to quality assurance ac- tivities. Very few approaches use data from early quality assurance activities such as inspection data in order to focus testing activities and thereby reduce test effort. This article gives an overview of potential benefits of using data from early defect detection activities, potentially in addition to other data, in order to focus testing activities. In addition, the article sketches an integrated inspection and testing process and its evaluation in the context of two case studies. Taking the study limitations into account, the results show an overall reduction of testing effort by up to 34%, which mirrors an efficiency improvement of up to about 50% for testing.

description: Motivated by applications in energy management, this paper presents the Multi-Armed Risk-Aware Bandit (MARAB) algorithm. With the goal of limiting the exploration of risky arms, MARAB takes as arm quality its conditional value at risk. When the user-supplied risk level goes to 0, the arm quality tends toward the essential infimum of the arm distribution density, and MARAB tends toward the MIN multi-armed bandit algorithm, aimed at the arm with maximal minimal value. As a first contribution, this paper presents a theoretical analysis of the MIN algorithm under mild assumptions, establishing its robustness comparatively to UCB. The analysis is supported by extensive experimental validation of MIN and MARAB compared to UCB and state-of-art risk-aware MAB algorithms on artificial and real-world problems.

description: Certifying the entanglement of quantum states with Bell inequalities allows one to guarantee the security of quantum information protocols independently of imperfections in the measuring devices. Here we present a similar procedure for witnessing entangled measurements, which play a central role in many quantum information tasks. Our procedure is termed semi-device-independent, as it uses uncharacterized quantum preparations of fixed Hilbert space dimension. Using a photonic setup, we experimentally certify an entangled measurement using measurement statistics only. We also apply our techniques to certify unentangled but nevertheless inherently quantum measurements.

description: In recent years, the problem of the production of localized waves has been analyzed in various ways, from both a theoretical and a practical point of view. We present here a way in which to construct a suitable experimental set-up, so as to obtain highly localized energy. On the basis of a vectorial treatment already studied for a specific source (namely, a ring-shaped aperture over a metallic screen), we evaluate the amount of energy supplied by a single Bessel beam. Then, by analyzing the geometric characteristics of the experimental set-up, we can establish the position of further rings, so as to increase the localized energy to a maximum.

description: Hyperfine constants and anomalies of ground as well as few low lying excited states of $^{113,115,117}$In III are studied with highly correlated relativistic coupled-cluster theory. The ground state hyperfine splitting of $^{115}$In III is estimated to be 106.8 GHz. A shift of almost 1.9 GHz of the above frequency has been calculated due to modified nuclear dipole moment. This splitting result shows its applicability as communication band and frequency standards at $10^{-11}$ sec. Correlations study of hyperfine constants indicates a few distinct features of many-body effects in the wave-functions in and near the nuclear region of this ion. Astrophysically important forbidden transition amplitudes are estimated for the first time in the literature to our knowledge.

description: We have investigated the magnetic structure and ferroelectricity in RbFe(MoO$_4$)$_2$ via first-principles calculations. Phenomenological analyses have shown that ferroelectricity may arise due to both the triangular chirality of the magnetic structure, and through coupling between the magnetic helicity and the ferroaxial structural distortion. Indeed, it was recently proposed that the structural distortion plays a key role in stabilising the chiral magnetic structure itself. We have determined the relative contribution of the two mechanisms via \emph{ab-initio} calculations. Whilst the structural axiality does induce the magnetic helix by modulating the symmetric exchange interactions, the electric polarization is largely due to the in-plane spin triangular chirality, with both electronic and ionic contributions being of relativistic origin. At the microscopic level, we interpret the polarization as a secondary steric consequence of the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya mechanism and accordingly explain why the ferroaxial component of the electric polarization must be small.
Determining Heat Production of Black Solderi Fly Larvae, Hermitia illucens, to Design Rearing Structures at Livestock Facilities

description: Abstract:
Due to their small size and ectothermic biology, the heat production of insects and insect larvae is hard to quantify. However, knowing the amount of heat production, as well as ammonia production of insects may be beneficial for commercial production of valuable insect species. Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are of interest in the agricultural industry because they quickly consume organic waste and have high amounts of protein and fat in their bodies. It has been proposed that BSFL be used to manage livestock waste, while serving as a high-protein feed source for livestock animals. To efficiently rear BSFL, it is necessary to design rearing facilities, which maintain optimal conditions for the larvae. To design such a facility, it is necessary to know the amount of heat and ammonia that BSFL produce.
A gradient calorimeter was used to measure the heat and ammonia production rates of black soldier fly larvae. The study determined that BSFL heat production changes significantly with the age and weight of the larvae. Aggregations produce the most total heat when larvae are older and larger. The study also found that larvae produce less heat per individual and per gram of body weight as they grow. Larvae also produce significantly different amounts of heat depending on the size of the groups they are in, and do not produce consistent amounts of heat per individual or per gram of body weight, even if maintained at a consistent population density. Larvae in group sizes of 100, 300, and 500 produced an average and standard deviation of 0.00107±0.000295, 0.00067±0.00014, and 0.00049±0.00020 W/larva, respectively. Likewise, larvae in groups of 100, 300 and 500 produced an average of 0.01826±0.00010, 0.01023±0.00565, and 0.00575±0.00371 W/g, respectively. The differences in heat produced per individual and per gram is troublesome when trying to estimate a total heat production for large populations.
The largest heat production rate observed in this study was 0.407 W, and was produced by a group of 500 BSFL. Frass analysis indicated that between 4.80 and 7.79 lbs of ammoniacal-nitrogen is emitted for every ton of frass produced. These data could be used to estimate the total heat and ammonia produced from a larger population of BSFL being reared inside a closed facility, allowing engineers to design HVAC systems to keep the larvae at their optimal growing condition year-round. Placing BSFL rearing accommodations at livestock facilities could be beneficial to livestock, poultry, and fishery producers, because BSFL can be used to dispose of animal wastes and are also a good source of protein-rich animal feed.

description: A simple one-dimensional mechanical model is proposed for splitting instability in swollen membranes. The splitting instability occurs by ring constriction. The bifurcation can be both subcritical and supercritical, depending on the slenderness of spheroidal membranes. The lower critical point is estimated theoretically for the simplest circular system. Necking instability occurs in a spheroidal membrane when the twist angle in the boundary conditions is increased.

description: The purpose of this thesis is the study of the procedural measure of provisional detention of the accused, which is the most burdensome measure of procedural coercion that can be imposed on the accused so that a conclusion can be reached as to whether the imposition of this early measure is consistent with the presumption of innocence. For this purpose, this thesis particularly focuses on the concept of the presumption of innocence and its importance, the overview of the current case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights concerning the legislative developments and specifically Directive 2016/343 regarding the reinforcement of aspects of the presumption of innocence in the criminal trial, the conditions for imposing the measure of provisional detention, its duration and its monitoring, and even the accused’s defense capabilities

description: A multipath mechanism similar to that used in Australia sixty years ago by the Sea-cliff Interferometer is shown to generate correlations between the periods of oscillations observed by two distant radio telescopes pointed to the Sun. The oscillations are the result of interferences between the direct wave detected in the main antenna lobe and its reflection on ground detected in a side lobe. A model is made of such oscillations in the case of two observatories located at equal longitudes and opposite tropical latitudes, respectively in Ha Noi (Viet Nam) and Learmonth (Australia), where similar radio telescopes are operated at 1.4 GHz. Simple specular reflection from ground is found to give a good description of the observed oscillations and to explain correlations that had been previously observed and for which no satisfactory interpretation, instrumental or other, had been found.

description: We report on the absolute calibration of a CCD camera by exploiting quantum correlation. This novel method exploits a certain number of spatial pairwise quantum correlated modes produced by spontaneous parametric-down-conversion. We develop a measurement model taking into account all the possible source of losses and noise that are not related to the quantum efficiency,accounting for all the uncertainty contributions, and we reach the relative uncertainty of 0.3% in low photon flux regime. This represents a significant step forward for the characterizaion of (scientific) CCDs used in mesoscopic light regime.

description: Supplementary material to the paper "Unravelling densification during sintering by multiscale modelling of grain motion" ( formerly named "Investigating densification during sintering with molecular dynamics and phase-field simulations") by Marco Seiz, Henrik Hierl, Britta Nestler. This contains videos of simulation data as well as a simple python implementation for the rigid-body motion model determined within the paper. The initial particle packings employed in the paper are also contained for this, along with a simple reader for usage in the python implementation. Finally, some more detailed analysis of the raw data concerning the coordination number is presented. A binder for quick trialling is available at https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/https%3A%2F%2Fgit.scc.kit.edu%2Fxt5201%2Fsupmat-densification-md-pf/HEAD with the base repository being located at https://git.scc.kit.edu/xt5201/supmat-densification-md-pf/-/tree/master/ . {advmu,md}_blocks.webm: A simulation of 16 grains in a chain calculated with both model ADV-mu and the MD-inspired (MDi) model developed in the paper. Yellow indicates the solid grains, dark indigo the vapour, red lines any interfaces. Model ADV-mu eliminates the pores in a step-wise manner from the outside in, suggesting inhomogeneous densification. Model MDi eliminates them almost at the same time, suggesting homogeneous densification. full.webm: A simulation in a 400^3 voxel simulation box with particles of initial size R=12 cells = 12nm. The mesh visualized here is based on the largest local phase-field excepting the vapour phase-field. This allows introducing an etching-like effect with an appropriate choice of contour level l, with l=0.6 employed here to show grain boundaries and higher order junctions. Macroscopic densification is quite evident here. Note that the early part of the simulation was written out at a higher frequency, so there's an apparent jump in densification rate; it actually decreases monotonically. fracture.webm: Same data as above, but after "fracturing" along a (011) plane. This allows the inner part of the green body to be visualized, showing the polyhedralization of the grain structure. contact-solver.ipynb: Shows how to use the python implementation of the rigid-body motion model solver coded in helpers.py. packs.zip: packs/*dat: The initial position and sizes (uniform) of the particles, can be used as input for the above. coordination-extras.ipynb: Analysis of the raw data of the contact detection for a simulation. data.zip: data/* : Data used in the above notebook.
