description: We revise the physical conditions in the O++ zone of the planetary nebula NGC 6543, obtaining two different estimates of the electron temperature (Te) and one estimate of the electron density (Ne). The electron temperature is computed by means of two independent methods, the nebular-to-auroral ratio [O III] 5007/4363, and the diagnostic diagram that combines 5007 to the [O III] infrared lines 52m and 88m. The optical and infrared fluxes have been obtained from archive HST/WFPC2 images and ISO LWS spectra respectively, and the continuum intensity in the optical has been measured from narrow-slit spectra obtained with the Isaac Newton Telescope at La Palma. The measured continuum intensity is higher than predicted by recombination theory under the hypothesis that all the Ly-alpha photons either escape or are destroyed. This fact can be explained in terms of an enhancement of the 2-photon continuum due to Ly-alpha conversion, a process that depends strongly on the local structure of the nebula. Alternative possibilities, outside the framework of recombination theory, have also been considered: e.g., the optical tail in the X-ray emission of a very hot plasma, and dust scattering of stellar radiation, but these hypotheses are not supported by quantitative estimates. While the electron temperature and density derived from the diagnostic diagram agree with the most recent determination, the temperature derived from 5007/4363,, Te(O++)_opt, is somewhat smaller than previously published values. We discuss several technical issues that contribute to the overall uncertainty in our results, focusing on the instrumental effects that might bias the [O III] 4363 intensity. We also discuss the effects of the collisional de-excitation of the O++ ground terms on the relation between Te(O++)_opt and Te(O++)_IR.

Subjects: Smart city, transport phenomena, gender, sustainability

description: This paper examines ‘smart cities’, which are emerging in recent years as a technology-led response to problems facing the world’s conurbations as they grow in number, size and complexity. Smart cities are intended to harness and harmonise technological innovations – especially Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT) – to improve infrastructures and outcomes in terms of efficiency, sustainability and citizen engagement. The main focus of this paper is on smart transport or ‘Intelligent Transport Systems’ (ITS), as a key or perhaps even the predominant element of a smart city. We critically review current orthodoxies on smart city transport and raise important new questions on gendered inequalities and sustainability.

description: Despite the high stress levels, paramedics seem to ignore or even negate the stress. This can be detrimental and lead to stress-related diseases. Therefore, we investigated the divergence between physiological and psychological stress responses of paramedics. Participants were 16 paramedics and 17 white-collar workers. We assessed psychological stress parameters, cortisol awakening response (CAR), and quantified immune parameters. In paramedics, electrocardiogram (ECG) was measured during one complete 24-hour shift. Our results revealed that CAR was higher in paramedics compared to controls. An alteration of immune parameters was observed even during days of free time. Also, ECG recordings showed acute stress in paramedics during rescue situations. Questionnaires revealed that rescue-service specific stressors affect psychological outcomes. However, paramedics reported significantly less mental stress and higher levels of depersonalization than controls. Taken together, our results suggest higher stress in paramedics compared to controls. However, paramedics negate their daily stress. Our findings underline therefore the importance to develop stress-management interventions for paramedics including sensitization for their stress reactions.

description: Realistic free-space optical communications systems suffer from turbulent propagation of light through the atmosphere and detector noise at the receiver, which can significantly degrade the optical mode quality of the received state, increase cross-talk between modes, and correspondingly increase the symbol error ratio (SER) of the system. In order to overcome these obstacles, we develop a state-of-the-art generative machine learning (GML) and convolutional neural network (CNN) system in combination, and demonstrate its efficacy in a free-space optical (FSO) communications setting. The system corrects for the distortion effects due to turbulence and reduces detector noise, resulting in significantly lowered SERs and cross-talk at the output of the receiver, while requiring no feedback. This scheme is straightforward to scale, and may provide a concrete and cost effective technique to establishing long range classical and quantum communication links in the near future.

description: We generalize the treatment of inflationary perturbations to deal with the non-Markovian colored noise emerging from any realistic approach to stochastic inflation. We provide a calculation of the power-spectrum of the gauge-invariant comoving curvature perturbation to first order in the slow-roll parameters. Properly accounting for the constraint that our local patch of the Universe is homogeneous on scales just above the present Hubble radius, we find a blue tilt of the power-spectrum on the largest observable scales, in agreement with the WMAP data which show an unexpected suppression of the low multipoles of the CMB anisotropy. Our explanation of the anomalous behaviour of the lower multipoles of the CMB anisotropies does not invoke any ad-hoc introduction of new physical ingredients in the theory.

description: We investigate some aspects of the soliton dynamics in an alpha-helical protein macromolecule within the steric Davydov-Scott model. Our main objective is to elucidate the important role of the helical symmetry in the formation, stability and dynamical properties of Davydov's solitons in an alpha-helix. We show, analytically and numerically, that the corresponding system of nonlinear equations admits several types of stationary soliton solutions and that solitons which preserve helical symmetry are dynamically unstable: once formed, they decay rapidly when they propagate. On the other hand, the soliton which spontaneously breaks the local translational and helical symmetries possess the lowest energy and is a robust localized entity. We also demonstrate that this soliton is the result of an hybridization of the quasiparticle states from the two lowest degenerate bands and has an inner structure which can be described as a modulated multi-hump amplitude distribution of excitations on individual spines. The complex and composite structure of the soliton manifests itself distinctly when the soliton is moving and some interspine oscillations take place. Such a soliton structure and the interspine oscillations have previosly been observed numerically in [A.C. Scott, Phys.Rev. A 26 578 (1982)]. Here we argue that the solitons studied by A. Scott, are hybrid solitons and that the oscillations arise due to the helical symmetry of the system and result from the motion of the soliton along the $α$-helix. The frequency of the interspine oscillations is shown to be proportional to the soliton velocity.

description: It has been predicted that quark and hybrid stars, containing strange quark matter in their core, have a significantly smaller radius than ordinary neutron stars. Preliminary X-ray observations of isolated neutron stars indicated a surprisingly small radius consistent with quark matter in the interior of the star. However, a new analysis of the data led to a radius corresponding to an ordinary neutron star. In the present talk we will discuss theoretical calculations of the mass-radius relation for quark and hybrid stars, taking into account medium effects in quark matter, and report on recent X-ray observations by Chandra and XMM and their latest interpretation.

description: Canada is currently negotiating a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the European Union; the issue of Geographic Indications (GIs) is on the negotiating agenda and is expected to be one of the most contentious issues in the negotiations. While the exact nature of protection for GIs to be included in the agreement is not yet clear, there is a potential conflict over market access with the U.S. (and presumably the approximately 50 other countries that use trademarks instead of GIs to protect this type of intellectual property). This paper explores the wider issues surrounding differences in the protection of intellectual property and the effect on market access as well as the potential specific issues pertaining to the CETA for NAFTA members. General issues include, among others, how market access could be restricted either by de facto import bans or the imposition of additional costs on exporting firms; would this qualify as nullification of impairment of a benefit under GATT? Does the TRIPS provides any guidance for this issue and would GIs be treated in the same way as a country entering a customs union and having to pay compensation if it raises tariffs to the common level? Any potential conflict between Canada’s NAFTA commitments and potential CETA provisions are also investigated.

description: We use Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations together with the Red-sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) weak lensing results to derive constraints on a range of cosmological parameters. This particular choice of observations is motivated by their robust physical interpretation and complementarity. Our combined analysis, including a weak nucleosynthesis constraint, yields accurate determinations of a number of parameters including the amplitude of fluctuations sigma_8 = 0.89+/-0.05 and matter density Omega_m =0.30+/-0.03. We also find a value for the Hubble parameter of H_0 =70+/-3km/s/Mpc, in good agreement with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) key--project result. We conclude that the combination of CMB and weak lensing data provides some of the most powerful constraints available in cosmology today.

description: Electron transfer coupled to a collective vibronic degree of freedom is studied in strongly condensed phase and at lower temperatures where quantum fluctuations are essential. Based on an exact representation of the reduced density matrix of the electronic+reaction coordinate compound in terms of path integrals, recent findings on the overdamped limit in quantum dissipative systems are employed. This allows to give for the first time a consistent generalization of the well-known Zusman equations to the quantum domain. Detailed conditions for the range of validity are specified. Using the Wigner transform these results are also extended to the quantum dynamics in full phase space. As an important application electronic transfer rates are derived that comprise adiabatic and nonadiabatic processes in the low temperature regime including nuclear tunneling. Accurate agreement with precise quantum Monte Carlo data is observed.

description: This document provides a rapid update on the previous work conducted by GEO-LDN regarding minimum data quality standards, highlighting key methodologies and stakeholder responses that inform the ongoing development of these standards. Additionally, it delves into the concept of Essential Land Variables, examining their significance in land degradation monitoring and proposing candidate variables that could be crucial for effective assessment. The report aims to enhance the quality and consistency of data used in tracking land degradation by synthesizing this information, while supporting the broader goals of achieving Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) and fulfilling Sustainable Development Goals related to land management. Readers unfamiliar with the prior work on minimum data quality standards are strongly advised to consult earlier GEO-LDN reports on the topic before delving into this document to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the context and progress in this area. This will facilitate a more complete grasp of the current recommendations and proposals for Essential Land Variables.

description: This expository paper details the theory of rank one Higgs bundles over a closed Riemann surface X and their relationship to representations of the fundamental group of X. We construct an equivalence between the deformation theories of flat connections and Higgs pairs. This provides an identification of moduli spaces arising in different contexts. The moduli spaces are real Lie groups. From each context arises a complex structure, and the different complex structures define a hyper-Kaehlerstructure. The twistor space, real forms, and various group actions are computed explicitly in terms of the Jacobian of X. We describe the moduli spaces and their geometry in terms of the Riemann period matrix of X. This is the simplest case of the theory developed by Hitchin, Simpson and others. We emphasize its formal aspects that generalize to higher rank Higgs bundles over higher dimensional Kaehler manifolds.

Weakly-nonlocal Symplectic Structures, Whitham method, and weakly-nonlocal Symplectic Structures of Hydrodynamic Type
Creators: name: Maltsev, A. Ya.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)

description: We consider the special type of the field-theoretical Symplectic structures called weakly nonlocal. The structures of this type are in particular very common for the integrable systems like KdV or NLS. We introduce here the special class of the weakly nonlocal Symplectic structures which we call the weakly nonlocal Symplectic structures of Hydrodynamic Type. We investigate then the connection of such structures with the Whitham averaging method and propose the procedure of "averaging" of the weakly nonlocal Symplectic structures. The averaging procedure gives the weakly nonlocal Symplectic Structure of Hydrodynamic Type for the corresponding Whitham system. The procedure gives also the "action variables" corresponding to the wave numbers of $m$-phase solutions of initial system which give the additional conservation laws for the Whitham system.

Publisher: name: GEO Knowledge Hub
Year: 2023

description: This report from the consultancy focused on three key areas of critical importance for the Earth Observation (EO) and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) sectors. First, it explored the potential of OGC APIs, particularly the Processes API, and how they could be integrated into LDN-related software projects to enhance standardization and interoperability. This included guidance on wrapping existing software into standardized API formats. Second, it provided comprehensive guidance for linking GEO-LDN Toolbox components to major computational platforms, addressing strategies for cloud-based solutions, communication methods, pricing considerations, data transferability, and discovery mechanisms. Finally, the report delved into the fundamental principles and protocols for interoperability, proposing standards across technical, fair, and social dimensions, and offering recommendations for their implementation in LDN projects. Projects in these sectors, by adopting the recommendations put forth in this material, can significantly improve their efficiency, scalability, and ability to share and integrate data and tools effectively.

description: Direct Government payments increase income in the farm sector by redistributing income from nonfarm to farm people. Direet payments arc largest at high income levels. Thus, low-income farm famifies may not benefit greatly from these payments. However, data compiled by the Internal Revenue Service from Federal income tax returns show greater inequality in the personal distribution of income of people with farm earnings t1lan in the distribution of payments. Payments should therefore be expected to slightly decrease rather than increase overall income inequality.

description: The Heckman two-stage estimation procedure was used to investigate factors influencing the adoption of modern and/or landrace wheat varieties and spatial diversity of wheat varieties in Turkey. In the first stage, the multinomial logit choice model (MNLM) was used to determine factors influencing farmers’ adoption of modern varieties (MVs) and/or landrace varieties (LVs) of wheat. Conditional on the choice of a given wheat variety or combination of MVs and LVs, a Tobit regression model was used to assess the determinants of on-farm spatial diversity of wheat varieties in the second stage. Our empirical approach allows for the analysis of partial adoption decision of wheat varieties and controls for self-selection problem in analyzing the determinants of spatial diversity of wheat varieties. The empirical model was conceptualized based on random utility model(RUM).The analysis was based on cross-sectional survey data collected on 486 sample households in six provinces of Turkey. Results showed that household size, the number of owned cattle, the number of buildings on farm, farm size, farm land fragmentation, the percentage of irrigable farm plots and regional variations are the important factors in determining the farmers’ first-stage choice of wheat variety types. The selfselection problem was significant only in one of the three cases for the landrace wheat varieties. In the second stage, the farm size and land fragmentation were found to be the key variables influencing the level of on-farm spatial diversity of wheat varieties. The results showed that considerable spatial wheat genetic diversity was maintained on-farm at the household level, mainly through the simultaneous adoption of modern and traditional wheat varieties. Growing a combination of modern and landrace wheat varieties was observed to yield significantly higher level of spatial diversity of wheat genetic resources as compared to growing modern varieties alone or landrace varieties alone. This result suggests that the modern and landrace wheat varieties can coexist and could still support more on-farm spatial diversity of wheat genetic resources. This finding has significant implications for future extension, research and policy efforts for on-farm conservation and utilization of wheat genetic resources in Turkey. There is a need for the government and private sector research and extension efforts to support farmers’ use of both modern and landrace varieties, for example, in terms of seed supply, provision of extension and credit services and marketing support instead of just giving undue priority to popularization and adoption of modern varieties alone.

description: The star S0-2, which is orbiting Sgr A* with a 15-yr period, almost certainly did not form in situ. We propose that it was injected into this close orbit by the tidal disruption of a massive-star binary, whose primary was more massive than S0-2 and at least 60 Msun. From numerical integrations we find that 1-2% of incoming binaries with closest approach equal to 130 AU leave the secondary in an orbit with eccentricity within 0.01 of that of SO-2. If additional stars are found orbiting Sgr A* with relatively short periods, they could be used to probe the formation of massive stars in the Galactocentric region, even though the massive stars themselves have long since perished.

description: The GEO-LDN developed the minmum quality standards through a consultant that supports not only the flagship's operations to providing highly efficient tools and data to support countries in achieving their LDN targets. The report of the consultancy consited of three key focus areas. First, short discussion on OGC APIs and how the Processes API could be worked into some of the software projects related to LDN; a short discussion on linking software to major computational platforms; and an explanation surrounding interoperability standards.
Second, the second part presents the results of a rapid update on the previous GEO-LDN work on minimum data quality standards. Further, it reports on Essential Variables and considers what might be considered to generate Essential Land Variables.
The final part outlines the decisions and reasoning used to develop a quality review process for new software tools wanting access into the GEO-LDN Toolbox. The process is to include the minimum technical, interoperability and content standards defined in Task A, and to present a possible assessment route for creating a colour coded rating for candidate tools. Section 1 of this document details the assessment process whilst Section 2 introduces a demonstrator for classifying the assessment.

description: We consider D-particles coupled to the CGHS dilaton gravity and obtain the exact wormhole geometry and trajectories of D-particles by introducing the exotic matter. The initial static wormhole background is not stable after infalling D-particles due to the classical backreaction of the geometry so that the additional exotic matter source should be introduced for the stability. Then, the traversable wormhole geometry naturally appears and the D-particles can travel through it safely. Finally, we discuss the dynamical evolution of the wormhole throat and the massless limit of D-particles.

description: A luminous X-ray source is associated with a cluster (MGG-11) of young stars \~200pc from the center of the starburst galaxy M82. The properties of the X-ray source are best explained by a black hole with a mass of at least 350Msun, which is intermediate between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. A nearby but somewhat more massive star cluster (MGG-9) shows no evidence of such an intermediate mass black hole, raising the issue of just what physical characteristics of the clusters can account for this difference. Here we report numerical simulations of the evolution and the motions of stars within the clusters, where stars are allowed to mergers with each other. We find that for MGG-11 dynamical friction leads to the massive stars sinking rapidly to the center of the cluster to participate in a runaway collision, thereby producing a star of 800-3000Msun, which ultimately collapses to an black hole of intermediate mass. No such runaway occurs in the cluster MGG-9 because the larger cluster radius leads to a mass-segregation timescale a factor of five longer than for MGG-11.

Publisher: name: GEO Knowledge Hub
Year: 2023

description: This is the third component of the report, outlining a comprehensive quality review process designed to evaluate new software tools seeking integration into the GEO-LDN Toolbox. The process leverages the minimum technical, interoperability, and content standards previously established in Task A and Task B, and it proposes a methodology for assessment that culminates in a color-coded rating indicating the candidate tool's compliance. The document structure includes: Section 1, which details the assessment process, encompassing technical, fairness, and social dimensions, alongside mechanisms for gathering additional feedback; and Section 2, which introduces a demonstrator illustrating how the assessment outcomes can be classified using a color-coding system to represent adherence to the established standards. This robust quality review aims to ensure that all tools within the GEO-LDN Toolbox meet rigorous quality benchmarks and effectively contribute to the overarching objectives of achieving land degradation neutrality. It is recommended that readers consult the two preceding components of this report to fully appreciate the context surrounding the development and implementation of this quality review process.

Tesla’s High Voltage and High Frequency Generators with Oscillatory Circuits

description: The principles that represent the basics of the work of the high voltage and high frequency generator with oscillating circuits will be discussed. Until 1891, Tesla made and used mechanical generators with a large number of extruded poles for the frequencies up to about 20 kHz. The first electric generators based on a new principle of a weakly coupled oscillatory circuits he used for the wireless signal transmission, for the study of the discharges in vacuum tubes, the wireless energy transmission, for the production of the cathode rays, that is x-rays and other experiments. Aiming to transfer the signals and the energy to any point of the surface of the Earth, in the late of 19th century, he had discovered and later patented a new type of high frequencygenerator called a magnifying transmitter. He used it to examine the propagation of electromagnetic waves over the surface of the Earth in experiments in Colorado Springs in the period 1899-1900. Tesla observed the formation of standing electromagnetic waves on the surface of the Earth by measuring radiated electric field from distant lightning thunderstorm. He got the idea to generate the similar radiation to produce the standing waves. On the one hand, signal transmission, i.e. communication at great distances would be possible and on the other hand, with more powerful and with at least three magnifying transmitters the wireless transmission of energy without conductors at any point of the Earth surface could also be achieved. The discovery of the standing waves on the surface of the Earth and the invention of the magnifying transmitter he claimed his greatest inventions. Less than two years later, at the end of 1901, he designed and started to build a much stronger magnifying transmitter on Long Island near New York City (the Wardenclyffe tower) wishing to become a world telecommunication center. During the tower construction, he elaborated the plans for an even stronger transmitter based on new principles. Due to lack of the funds Tesla was forced to sell or to return the devices and apparatus, he gathered in the Wardenclyffe tower facility, which intended to use to operate the tower. He left the tower in 1907 and since then he was mainly engaged in inventions that were not directly related to the electrical engineering. The unfinished magnifying transmitter on Long Island was demolished in June 1917 by the American government.

 Type specimen. Juvenile F paratype (AMNH) collected by H. Lang on an unknown date prior to 1932 at Kamakusa, Cuyuni-Mazaruni Reg., Guyana. The adult F holotype, supposedly also at the AMNH, is lost. Thorough searches through their typical and non-typical holdings by RMS and entomology staff did not reveal it. Additionally, Dr. Maria Tavano checked the diplopod holdings at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale “Giacomo Doria,” Genoa, Italy, which now houses Silvestri’s collection, and they too do not have this specimen.
 Diagnosis. Metatergal spines digitiform to spiniform. Ambulatory postfemora subequal in length to prefemora, moderately swollen and appearing as normal podomere; apical tarsal setae distally curved. Gonopodal characters unknown.
 Distribution. Known only from the type locality in west-central Guyana but may inhabit eastern Venezuela. Sampling is needed in these countries and poorly- and uninvestigated Suriname and French Guiana to recover males of P. disparipes and other leptodesmideans.

description: We give a continuum limit value of the lowest moment of a twist-2 operator in pion states from non-perturbative lattice calculations. We find that the non-perturbatively obtained renormalization group invariant matrix element is _{RGI} = 0.179(11), which corresponds to ^{MSbar}(2 GeV) = 0.246(15). In obtaining the renormalization group invariant matrix element, we have controlled important systematic errors that appear in typical lattice simulations, such as non-perturbative renormalization, finite size effects and effects of a non-vanishing lattice spacing. The crucial limitation of our calculation is the use of the quenched approximation. Another question that remains not fully clarified is the chiral extrapolation of the numerical data.
