description: Recent theoretical work has suggested that Lyman-alpha nebulae could be substantially polarized in the Lyman-alpha emission line, depending on the geometry, kinematics, and powering mechanism at work. Polarization observations can therefore provide a useful constraint on the source of ionization in these systems. In this Letter, we present the first Lyman-alpha polarization measurements for a giant Lyman-alpha nebula at z~2.656. We do not detect any significant linear polarization of the Lyman-alpha emission: P_{Lyman-alpha}=2.6+/-2.8% (corrected for statistical bias) within a single large aperture. The current data also do not show evidence for the radial polarization gradient predicted by some theoretical models. These results rule out singly scattered Lyman-alpha (e.g., from the nearby AGN) and may be inconsistent with some models of backscattering in a spherical outflow. However, the effects of seeing, diminished signal-to-noise ratio, and angle averaging within radial bins make it difficult to put strong constraints on the radial polarization profile. The current constraints may be consistent with higher density outflow models, spherically symmetric infall models, photoionization by star formation within the nebula or the nearby AGN, resonant scattering, or non-spherically symmetric cold accretion (i.e., along filaments). Higher signal-to-noise ratio data probing to higher spatial resolution will allow us to harness the full diagnostic power of polarization observations in distinguishing between theoretical models of giant Lyman-alpha nebulae.

description: The CHIPS R&D project aims to develop affordable large-scale water Cherenkov neutrino detectors for underwater deployment. In 2019, a 5kt prototype detector CHIPS-5 was deployed in northern Minnesota to potentially study neutrinos generated by the NuMI beam. This paper presents the dedicated low-latency triggering system for CHIPS-5 that delivers notifications of neutrino spills from the Fermilab accelerator complex to the detector with sub-nanosecond precision. Building on existing NOvA infrastructure, the time distribution system achieves this using only open-source software and conventional computing and network elements. In a time-of-flight study, the system reliably provided advance notifications $610 \pm 330\text{ ms}$ prior to neutrino spills at 96% efficiency. This permits advanced analysis in real-time as well as hardware-assisted triggering that saves data bandwidth and reduces DAQ computing load outside time windows of interest.

description: Quantum mechanics for many-body systems may be reduced to the evaluation of integrals in 3N dimensions using Monte-Carlo, providing the Quantum Monte Carlo ab initio methods. Here we limit ourselves to expectation values for trial wavefunctions, that is to Variational quantum Monte Carlo. Almost all previous implementations employ samples distributed as the physical probability density of the trial wavefunction, and assume the Central Limit Theorem to be valid. In this paper we provide an analysis of random error in estimation and optimisation that leads naturally to new sampling strategies with improved computational and statistical properties. A rigorous lower limit to the random error is derived, and an efficient sampling strategy presented that significantly increases computational efficiency. In addition the infinite variance heavy tailed random errors of optimum parameters in conventional methods are replaced with a Normal random error, strengthening the theoretical basis of optimisation. The method is applied to a number of first-row systems, and compared with previously published results.

Στην Ελλάδα η παραγωγή μελιού είναι ιδιαίτερα διαδεδομένη διατηρώντας όμως την ποιότητα του καθώς και το σεβασμό κατά τη διάρκεια της συγκομιδής στις μέλισσες. Το μέλι χρησιμοποιείται ως γλυκαντική ουσία στην διατροφή του ανθρώπου. Μπορεί ακόμα να αποτελέσει βάση για την παραγωγή αλκοολούχων ποτών. Το κυριότερο προϊόν αλκοολικής ζύμωσης με βάση το μέλι είναι το υδρόμελο. Το υδρόμελο αποτελείται κυρίως από μέλι, νερό και μαγιά. Η παραγωγή του στην Ελλάδα, σε αντίθεση με το μέλι, είναι πολύ περιορισμένη. Η παρούσα πτυχιακή εργασία ερευνά ελληνικές ποικιλίες μελιών και υδρόμελων. Γίνεται παρακολούθηση της αλκοολικής ζύμωσης καθώς και αναλύσεις των μελιών, των γλευκών και των τελικών προϊόντων. Τέλος, γίνεται οργανοληπτική αξιολόγηση με σκοπό την επιλογή ορισμένων ποικιλιών ως των καταλληλότερων για την παραγωγή υδρόμελων.

description: The narrative of American whiskey criss-crosses America's own story line and has survived open rebellion, scandalous rings, monopolizing trusts, false labeling, hellfire and brimstone, Prohibition, moonshine, and industry consolidation to emerge again from the ashes of politics and the abandonment of a fickle public. The story of this native product stands as a metaphor for the Americans who make it and perhaps for the American spirit in general—simple and complex, smooth and spicy, rustic and sophisticated, obliging and independent, but above all, enduring.

America's whiskey industry developed and was refined hand-in-hand with America's own development and refinement. In 1830, the introduction of the steam driven continuous still moved the distillation process away from personal production and toward commercial scale. In 1909, national standards for truth in labeling were set after years of debate over what could legally be labeled whiskey, only to see all whiskey labels disappear into Prohibition. When repeal came in 1933, whiskey makers began picking up the pieces of what was left and fitting them together into a new kind of industry, one smaller but more robust. The '80s saw public preference turn away from the dark, rich hues of whiskey to lighter fare such as beer and wine, or clear liquors like vodka and gin. And now the public is again embracing a new category of premium and boutique whiskeys and, again, whiskey emerges as the central character of its own story.

title: DEPRECATED: Optimal Hidden Markov Models
Creators: name: McKee, Bill Frederick
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1999

description: In contrast with training algorithms such as Baum-Welch, which produce solutions that are a local optimum of the objective function, this thesis describes the attempt to develop a training algorithm which delivers the global optimum Discrete ICdden Markov Model for a given training sequence. A total of four different methods of attack upon the problem are presented. First, after building the necessary analytical tools, the thesis presents a direct, calculus-based assault featuring Matrix Derivatives. Next, the dual analytic approach known as Geometric Programming is examined and then adapted to the task. After that, a hill-climbing formula is developed and applied. These first three methods reveal a number of interesting and useful insights into the problem. However, it is the fourth method which produces an algorithm that is then used for direct comparison vAth the Baum-Welch algorithm: examples of global optima are collected, examined for common features and patterns, and then a rule is induced. The resulting rule is implemented in *C' and tested against a battery of Baum-Welch based programs. In the limited range of tests carried out to date, the models produced by the new algorithm yield optima which have not been surpassed by (and are typically much better than) the Baum-Welch models. However, far more analysis and testing is required and in its current form the algorithm is not fast enough for realistic application.

description: Generic simulation code for spiking neuronal networks spends the major part of time in the phase where spikes have arrived at a compute node and need to be delivered to their target neurons. These spikes were emitted over the last interval between communication steps by source neurons distributed across many compute nodes and are inherently irregular with respect to their targets. For finding the targets, the spikes need to be dispatched to a three-dimensional data structure with decisions on target thread and synapse type to be made on the way. With growing network size a compute node receives spikes from an increasing number of different source neurons until in the limit each synapse on the compute node has a unique source. Here we show analytically how this sparsity emerges over the practically relevant range of network sizes from a hundred thousand to a billion neurons. By profiling a production code we investigate opportunities for algorithmic changes to avoid indirections and branching. Every thread hosts an equal share of the neurons on a compute node. In the original algorithm all threads search through all spikes to pick out the relevant ones. With increasing network size the fraction of hits remains invariant but the absolute number of rejections grows. An alternative algorithm equally divides the spikes among the threads and sorts them in parallel according to target thread and synapse type. After this every thread completes delivery solely of the section of spikes for its own neurons. The new algorithm halves the number of instructions in spike delivery which leads to a reduction of simulation time of up to 40 %. Thus, spike delivery is a fully parallelizable process with a single synchronization point and thereby well suited for many-core systems. Our analysis indicates that further progress requires a reduction of the latency instructions experience in accessing memory.

description: We investigate the dynamics of the eigenstate of an infinite well under an abrupt shift of the well's wall. It is shown that when the shift is small compared to the initial well's dimensions, the short time behavior changes from the well known t^(3/2) behavior to t^(1/2) . It is also shown that the complete dynamical picture converges to a universal function, which has fractal structure with dimensionality D=1.25.

description: It is well known that collective electronic excitations in fullerene C$_{60}$ are manifested as Mie plasmons, and in graphene (the limiting case of an infinitely large fullerene) collective excitations are of plasmon-polariton type. How the properties of plasmons change in fullerenes with intermediate sizes is poorly understood. This problem is considered in current paper in the framework of the GW approximation on the example of fullerenes C$_{60}$, C$_{240}$ and C$_{540}$. The calculations show that a high-frequency plasmon-polariton resonance begins to form in C$_{240}$, and in C$_{540}$ the intensity of this resonance becomes comparable to the intensity of Mie plasmon resonance. Thus with a further increase in fullerene size, a gradual transition from Mie plasmons to plasmon-polaritons should be observed.

description: Background: Worldwide, Smoking is one of the most critical public health issues. On the other hand, different levels of family activity may explain adolescent smoking behaviors. Therefore, this longitudinal study examines the effect of family activities on adolescent Smoking in the United States. Methods: 4966 American adolescents aged 12-18 years are used for analysis between 1980 and 2015. Family process criteria (peer influence, control variables, and Smoking) are used to collect data. Kaplan- Meier survival analysis and logistic regression are used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that women are less likely to smoke than men. The same is true for blacks as compared to whites. Children separated from the family are 20 percent more likely to smoke, and adolescents with high physical activity levels are less likely to smoke before age 16. Moreover, moderate sport levels reduce the risk of smoking by 15%, so people who are more physically active are less likely to smoke during adolescence, but parental education was not related to smoking. Conclusion: Developing standard programs with adequate education and social reinforcement and the efforts of families and communities to engage in sports activities reduced adolescent smoking.

description: Designers are increasingly aware of the influences that affect the way people emotionally engage with products. These include previous experiences, society and culture, and the situation in which the product will be used. Whilst recently developed generative techniques usefully provide insight into consumers’ contexts, it remains useful to determine the interaction of product features at a more fundamental level. If one cannot examine the influence of a product feature separately from its broader context, then can one determine the extent to which any particular sensation contributes to the consumers’ emotional engagement? The experiment described in this paper explores the influence of graphic design on peoples’ emotional engagement with surface textures. The semantic differential technique was used to identify adjectives to describe touching transparent surface textures that had been screen printed onto clear acetate and shown against a plain, white background. Then, the same technique was used to characterise peoples’ emotional engagement when looking at ‘smileys’, small graphical representations of faces, or emoticons, depicting various emotions. The first experiment with the surface textures was repeated but with the smileys behind and showing through the surfaces and finally by asking respondents to look at, but not touch, the smileys. Comparison of the principal components of the semantic differential experiments gave an objective evaluation of the influence of the graphics on peoples’ engagement with the surfaces. Whilst the results of the experiment are themselves to some extent context dependent, the experiment demonstrates a process for making decisions about product packaging at a product type or brand level.

description: Flexible boundary condition methods couple an isolated defect to a harmonically responding medium through the bulk lattice Green's function; in the case of an interface, interfacial lattice Green's functions. We present a method to compute the lattice Green's function for a planar interface with arbitrary atomic interactions suited for the study of line defect/interface interactions. The interface is coupled to two different semi-infinite bulk regions, and the Green's function for interface-interface, bulk-interface and bulk-bulk interactions are computed individually. The elastic bicrystal Green's function and the bulk lattice Green's function give the interaction between bulk regions. We make use of partial Fourier transforms to treat in-plane periodicity. Direct inversion of the force constant matrix in the partial Fourier space provides the interface terms. The general method makes no assumptions about the atomic interactions or crystal orientations. We simulate a screw dislocation interacting with a $(10\bar{1}2)$ twin boundary in Ti using flexible boundary conditions and compare with traditional fixed boundary conditions results. Flexible boundary conditions give the correct core structure with significantly less atoms required to relax by energy minimization. This highlights the applicability of flexible boundary conditions methods to modeling defect/interface interactions by \textit{ab initio} methods.

description: Supersymmetric valence bond solid models are extensions of the VBS model, a paradigmatic model of `solvable' gapped quantum antiferromagnets, to the case with doped fermionic holes. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of physical properties of the models. For systematic studies, a supersymmetric version of the matrix product formalism is developed. On 1D chains, we exactly evaluate the hole-doping behavior of various physical quantities, such as the spin/charge excitation spectrum, superconducting order parameter. A generalized hidden order is proposed, and the corresponding string non-local order parameter is also calculated. The behavior of the string order parameter is discussed in the light of the entanglement spectrum.

description: (Abridged) We report on an accounting of the star formation and accretion driven energetics of 24um detected sources in GOODS North. For sources having infrared (IR; 8-1000um) luminosities >3x10^12 L_sun when derived by fitting local SEDs to 24um photometry alone, we find these IR luminosity estimates to be a factor of ~4 times larger than those estimated when the SED fitting includes additional 16 and 70um data (and in some cases mid-infrared spectroscopy and 850um data). This discrepancy arises from the fact that high luminosity sources at z>>0 appear to have far- to mid-infrared ratios, as well as aromatic feature equivalent widths, typical of lower luminosity galaxies in the local Universe. Using our improved estimates for IR luminosity and AGN contributions, we investigate the evolution of the IR luminosity density versus redshift arising from star formation and AGN processes alone. We find that, within the uncertainties, the total star formation driven IR luminosity density is constant between 1.15 < z < 2.35, although our results suggest a slightly larger value at z>2. AGN appear to account for <18% of the total IR luminosity density integrated between 0< z < 2.35, contributing <25% at each epoch. LIRG appear to dominate the star formation rate (SFR) density along with normal star-forming galaxies (L_IR < 10^11 L_sun) between 0.6 < z < 1.15. Once beyond z >2, the contribution from ultraluminous infrared galaxies ULIRGs becomes comparable with that of LIRGs. Using our improved IR luminosity estimates, we find existing calibrations for UV extinction corrections based on measurements of the UV spectral slope typically overcorrect UV luminosities by a factor of ~2, on average, for our sample of 24um-selected sources; accordingly we have derived a new UV extinction correction more appropriate for our sample.

description: Background: the aim of this research was to investigate the effects of a period of selected physical activity on improving the fundamental skills of manipulation and locomotion in children with neuropsychological learning disabilities. Methodsː the present research was semi-experimental. A total of 30 students with neuropsychological learning disorders with an average age of 7.76 participated in this research selected by available sampling. The instrument utilized in this research was the test of Gross Motor Skills. After performing the pretest of locomotor and manipulative skills, the participants were classified homogeneously into experimental and control groups. The experimental group, in addition to taking part in their routine classes at school, also participated in twelve 45-min sessions (three sessions per week) in the Spark program. The control group took part in only their own routine classes. By the end of the 12th session, a posttest was performed. The data were analyzed through covariance analysis in SPSS 22. The significance level was considered as p<0.05. Results: the results showed that in the variables of locomotion (running (P<0.001), hopping (p=0.001) and long jump (p=0.001), as well as manipulative variables (kicking (P<0.001), overhead throwing (P<0.001) and catching (p=0.0001) there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Based on the main differences, the experimental group displayed better performance compared to the control group. Conclusion: overall, it can be stated that a 12-session course based on a selected physical activity can result in improved locomotor and manipulative …

description: The Suzaku observation of a giant radio galaxy 3C 35 revealed faint extended X-ray emission, associated with its radio lobes and/or host galaxy. After careful subtraction of the X-ray and non-X-ray background and contaminating X-ray sources, the X-ray spectrum of the faint emission was reproduced by a sum of the power-law (PL) and soft thermal components. The soft component was attributed to the thermal plasma emission from the host galaxy. The photon index of the PL component, $Γ= 1.35_{-0.86}^{+0.56}$$_{-0.10}^{+0.11}$ where the first and second errors represent the statistical and systematic ones, was found to agree with the synchrotron radio index from the lobes, $Γ_{\rm R} = 1.7$. Thus, the PL component was attributed to the inverse Compton (IC) X-rays from the synchrotron electrons in the lobes. The X-ray flux density at 1 keV was derived as $13.6\pm 5.4_{-3.6}^{+4.0}$ nJy with the photon index fixed at the radio value. The X-ray surface brightness from these lobes ($\sim 0.2$ nJy arcmin$^{-2}$) is lowest among the lobes studied through the IC X-ray emission. In combination with the synchrotron radio flux density, $7.5 \pm 0.2$ Jy at 327.4 MHz, the electron energy density spatially averaged over the lobes was evaluated to be the lowest among those radio galaxies, as $u_{\rm e} = (5.8 \pm 2.3 _{-1.7}^{+1.9}) \times 10^{-14}$ ergs cm$^{-3}$ over the electron Lorentz factor of $10^{3}$ -- $10^{5}$. The magnetic energy density was calculated as $u_{\rm m}=(3.1_{-1.0}^{+2.5}$$_{-0.9}^{+1.4}) \times 10^{-14}$ ergs cm$^{-3}$, corresponding to the magnetic field strength of $0.88_{-0.16}^{+0.31}$$_{-0.14}^{+0.19}$ $μ$G. These results suggest that the energetics in the 3C 35 lobes are nearly consistent with equipartition between the electrons and magnetic fields.

description: We have investigated the magnetoelectric and magnetodielectric response in FeVO$_4$, which exhibits a change in magnetic structure coincident with ferroelectric ordering at $T_{N2}$$\approx$15 K. Using symmetry considerations, we construct a model for the possible magnetoelectric coupling in this system, and present a discussion of the allowed spin structures in FeVO$_4$. Based on this model, in which the spontaneous polarization is caused by a trilinear spin-phonon interaction, we experimentally explore the magnetoelectric coupling in FeVO$_4$ thin films through measurements of the electric field induced shift of the multiferroic phase transition temperature, which exhibits an increase of 0.25 K in an applied field of 4 MV/m. The strong spin-charge coupling in \fvo\, is also reflected in the significant magnetodielectric shift, which is present in the paramagnetic phase due to a quartic spin-phonon interaction and shows a marked enhancement with the onset of magnetic order which we attribute to the trilinear spin-phonon interaction. We observe a clear magnetic field induced dielectric anomaly at lower temperatures, distinct from the sharp peak associated with the multiferroic transition, which we tentatively assign to a spin reorientation cross-over. We also present a magnetoelectric phase diagram for FeVO$_4$.

description: Multiparticle production of charged particles at high energies exhibit the phenomenon of Limiting Fragmentation. Furthermore, the region in rapidity over which the production of particles appears to be independent of energy, increases with energy. It is argued that this phenomenon, known as Extended Longitudinal Scaling, is a direct manifestation of some kind of saturation, akin to that in the Color Glass Condensate picture of particle production.

description: We construct an enlargement of the classifying space of mixed Hodge structures with polarized graded quotients, by adding mixed Hodge theoretic version of SL(2)-orbits. This space has a real analytic structure and a log structure with sign. The SL(2)-orbit theorem in several variables for mixed Hodge structures can be understood naturally with this space.

description: Prior work using gauge/gravity duality has established the existence of a quantum critical point in the phase diagram of 3+1-dimensional gauge theories at finite charge density and background magnetic field. The critical theory, obtained by tuning the dimensionless charge density to magnetic field ratio, exhibits nontrivial scaling in its thermodynamic properties, and an associated nontrivial dynamical critical exponent. In the present work, we analytically compute low energy correlation functions in the background of the charged magnetic brane solution to 4+1-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory, which represents the bulk description of the critical point. Results are obtained for neutral scalar operators, the stress tensor, and the U(1)-current. The theory is found to exhibit a twisted Virasoro algebra, constructed from a linear combination of the original stress tensor and chiral U(1)-current. The effective speed of light in the IR is renormalized downward for one chirality, but not the other, by finite density, a behavior that is consistent with a Luttinger liquid description of fermions in the lowest Landau level. The results obtained here do not directly shed light on the mechanism driving the phase transition, and we comment on why this is so.

description: We propose a novel adaptive damping algorithm for the self-consistent field (SCF) iterations of Kohn-Sham density-functional theory, using a backtracking line search to automatically adjust the damping in each SCF step. This line search is based on a theoretically sound, accurate and inexpensive model for the energy as a function of the damping parameter. In contrast to usual damped SCF schemes, the resulting algorithm is fully automatic and does not require the user to select a damping. We successfully apply it to a wide range of challenging systems, including elongated supercells, surfaces and transition-metal alloys.

description: Background: An important issue for pediatric health is to understand how to enhance the level of physical activity of children and adolescents during the pandemic. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of a physical education- based online intervention on promoting motivation and physical activity of adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The present study used an experimental design with pre-test and post-test conducted in Iran, 2020. The participants were 68 high school students who were randomly allocated into intervention and control groups. The participants of the intervention group were exposed to a three-month intervention based on Self-Determination theory within the online physical education classes while those in the control group followed their regular online physical education classes. Perceived autonomy support, motivation, intention, and physical activity behavior were measured using standard questionnaires. Independent t test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were utilized to analyze the data. Results: The pre-test showed that the participants of both groups had similar perceived autonomy support, motivation, intention, and physical activity behavior at baseline. However, the participants in the intervention group reported higher perceived autonomy support (3.2 vs. 1.48, p <0.001), motivation (3.03 vs. 1.49, p <0.001), intention (2.75 vs. 1.51, p <0.001), and physical activity level (2.4 vs. 1.11, p <0.001) in the post-test in comparison to those in the control group. Conclusions: These results highlighted the importance of developing strategies in online physical education classes for improving motivation and physical activity level of adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
