description: We have synthesized and characterized fluorene derivatives with alkylated thiophene as solution-processed organic semiconductors for organic field-effect transistor. HOMO/LUMO energy levels of the developed materials were tuned via different electron-acceptors. Organic field-effect transistor fabricated from dicyanovinylene-functionalized fluorine derivative with octyl thiophene as the side group exhibited n-channel characteristic with electron mobility of 0.0055 cm2/Vs and current on/off ratio ∼106. Film surface morphology and texture were correlated with the corresponding device performance.

description: Sliding and twisting van der Waals layers with respect to each other gives rise to moiré structures with emergent electronic properties. Electrons in these moiré structures feel weak potentials that are typically in the tens of millielectronvolt range when the moiré structures are smooth at the atomic scale. Here we report a facile technique to achieve deep, deterministic trapping potentials via strain-based moiré engineering in van der Waals bilayers. We use elasto-scanning tunneling microscopy to show that uniaxial strain drives a commensurate-incommensurate lattice transition in a multilayer MoSe$_2$ system. In the incommensurate state, the top monolayer is partially detached from the bulk through the spontaneous formation of topological solitons where stress is relieved. Intersecting solitons form a honeycomb-like network resulting from the three-fold symmetry of the adhesion potential between layers. The vertices of the honeycomb network occur in bound pairs with different interlayer stacking arrangements. One vertex of the pair is found to be an efficient trap for electrons, displaying two states that are deeply confined within the semiconductor gap and have a spatial extent of 2 nm. Honeycomb soliton networks thus provide a unique path to engineer an array of identical deeply confined states with a strain-dependent tunable spatial separation, without the necessity of introducing chemical defects into the host materials.

description: We apply Feynman's principle, ``The same equations have the same solutions'', to Kepler's problem and show that Newton's dynamics in a properly curved 3-D space is identical with that described by Einstein's theory in the 3-D optical geometry of Schwarzschild's spacetime. For this reason, rather unexpectedly, Newton's formulae for Kepler's problem, in the case of nearly circular motion in a static, spherically spherical gravitational potential accurately describe strong field general relativistic effects, in particular vanishing of the radial epicyclic frequency at the marginally stable orbit.

description: In this paper, we describe the design and development of a new code for the solution of sparse symmetric positive-definite linear systems aimed primarily at multicore architectures. Our new Fortran 95/OpenMP code, HSL_MA67, is available as part of the sofware library HSL and extends to the sparse case the task DAG-based approach that is becoming popular in the design and development of dense linear algebra kernels. Comparisons are made with existing parallel solvers, using problems arising from a range of practical applications. We demonstrate thta HSL_MA87 obtains good serial and parallel times on an 8-core machine.

description: Visual objects are composed of a recursive hierarchy of perceptual wholes and parts, whose properties, such as shape, reflectance, and color, constitute a hierarchy of intrinsic causal factors of object appearance. However, object appearance is the compositional consequence of both an object's intrinsic and extrinsic causal factors, where the extrinsic causal factors are related to illumination, and imaging conditions. Therefore, this paper proposes a unified tensor model of wholes and parts, and introduces a compositional hierarchical tensor factorization that disentangles the hierarchical causal structure of object image formation, and subsumes multilinear block tensor decomposition as a special case. The resulting object representation is an interpretable combinatorial choice of wholes' and parts' representations that renders object recognition robust to occlusion and reduces training data requirements. We demonstrate ourapproach in the context of face recognition by training on an extremely reduced dataset of synthetic images, and report encouragingface verification results on two datasets - the Freiburg dataset, andthe Labeled Face in the Wild (LFW) dataset consisting of real world images, thus, substantiating the suitability of our approach for data starved domains.

description: Sand presence in the riverbed surface layer strongly influences incipient motion of the gravel fraction. At the catchment scale, the supply of fine sediment from hillslopes and banks to the river network has a seasonal regime dependent on rainfall, overland flow, and temperature variations. Snow presence on the hillslopes reduces surface erosion and can retain a consistent amount of fine material. In addition, lower discharge periods permit the deposition of large quantities of fine sediments, especially in river reaches with complex bed morphology, such as bars and multithread channels. 
During spring snowmelt and flood events, the fine sediment on the hillslopes is entrained and transported into the river network. Concurrently, sand stocks from the surface layer of the active channel are rapidly mobilized and conveyed downstream, exiting the river reach. The measured drop in fine sediment concentration between spring and summer periods, for the same flood intensity, reflects the exhaustion of fine sediment in the active channel and nearby sediment sources, by the first flood events.
 The evidence of such effect in Alpine streams suggests that there is a seasonal imbalance between fine sediment transport capacity and sediment feed from the river basin sources (hotspots of erosion on the hillslopes, riverbanks, and the fluvial surface stocks). Hence, the seasonal fluctuations of the sand content in the surface layer may cause the riverbed response to floods to be different depending on their yearly timing.
We assume that this seasonal variability of the sand content influences the long-term riverbed equilibrium. To evaluate this hypothesis, we use a simplified analytical and numerical approach to estimate the seasonal fluctuation in sand content, from the observed morphological trajectory of the river. We compare the results with the mixed sediment equilibrium, under the assumption of time invariant grain size distribution.

description: Despite various approaches addressing the challenges of food insecurity in Nigeria, the country is still characterized by chronic food shortages particularly in the rural areas. This is an indication that the problem of food insecurity has not been adequately and critically analyzed. This study examined the food insecurity status of rural households during the post planting season in Nigeria using the recent nationally representative survey data. Results showed that about half of the rural households (49.4%) in Nigeria were food insecure during the post-planting season. Also, econometric analysis confirms that household size, education of household head, access to credit and remittances were among the major factors influencing the food insecurity status of rural households during the period. Thus, intensification of enlightenment on birth control measures, improved access to credit facilities and provision of safety nets for food insecure households during this period is pertinent.

description: This paper uses a national dataset from 1980 to 2010 of valuations and sales data by land use category from Quotable Value New Zealand to explore patterns in and potential drivers of values of rural land in New Zealand over time. Increasing our understanding of the drivers of rural land values will aid in informing how climate change and environmental policy may influence these values. Climate change brings with it an increased likelihood of extreme weather events, for example drought conditions and severe storms, which could plausibly influence the value of rural land through their impacts on the productivity of land. It is also likely to have profound impacts on global commodity prices. Efficient climate change policy could have significant impacts on the profitability of ruminant agriculture. Who bears the losses depends critically on how land values respond to the profitability of different land uses.

description: The structure of exotic nuclei sheds new light on the linkage of the nuclear structure to the nucleonic interaction. The self-consistent mean-field (SCMF) theories are useful to investigate this linkage, which are applicable to many nuclei covering almost the whole range of the nuclear chart without artificial truncation of model space. For this purpose, it is desired to develop effective interaction for the SCMF calculations well connected to the bare nucleonic interaction. Focusing on ground-state properties, I show results of the SCMF calculations primarily with the M3Y-type semi-realistic interaction, M3Y-P6 and M3Y-P6a to be precise, and discuss in detail how the nucleonic interaction affects structure of nuclei including those far off the $β$-stability.

description: We consider general integrable systems on graphs as discrete flat connections with the values in loop groups. We argue that a certain class of graphs is of a special importance in this respect, namely quad-graphs, the cellular decompositions of oriented surfaces with all two-cells being quadrilateral. We establish a relation between integrable systems on quad-graphs and discrete systems of the Toda type on graphs. We propose a simple and general procedure for deriving discrete zero curvature representations for integrable systems on quad-graphs, based on the principle of the three-dimensional consistency. Thus, finding a zero curvature representation is put on an algorithmic basis and does not rely on the guesswork anymore. Several examples of integrable systems on quad-graphs are considered in detail, their geometric interpretation is given in terms of circle patterns.

description: The mechanical response of packings of purely repulsive, spherical particles to athermal, quasistatic simple shear near jamming onset is highly nonlinear. Previous studies have shown that, at small pressure $p$, the ensemble-averaged static shear modulus $\langle G-G_0 \rangle$ scales with $p^α$, where $α\approx 1$, but above a characteristic pressure $p^{**}$, $\langle G-G_0 \rangle \sim p^β$, where $β\approx 0.5$. However, we find that the shear modulus $G^i$ for an individual packing typically decreases linearly with $p$ along a geometrical family where the contact network does not change. We resolve this discrepancy by showing that, while the shear modulus does decrease linearly within geometrical families, $\langle G \rangle$ also depends on a contribution from discontinuous jumps in $\langle G \rangle$ that occur at the transitions between geometrical families. For $p > p^{**}$, geometrical-family and rearrangement contributions to $\langle G \rangle$ are of opposite signs and remain comparable for all system sizes. $\langle G \rangle$ can be described by a scaling function that smoothly transitions between the two power-law exponents $α$ and $β$. We also demonstrate the phenomenon of {\it compression unjamming}, where a jammed packing can unjam via isotropic compression.

The classical and the semiclassical descriptions of the reflection process are reviewed, and a full wave-mechanical approach based on the analytical soution of the corresponding Schrödinger equation is presented. The phase shift at reflection is calculated exactly and interpreted in terms of instantaneous reflection of the atom at an effective mirror. Besides the semiclassical regime of reflection describable by the WKB method, a pure quantum regime of reflection is identified in the limit where the incident de Broglie wavelength is large compared to the evanescent wave decay length.

description: Kerala, being a prominent tourist destination in the southern part of India with a coastline of 560 km, is prone to microplastic pollution. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the USA defines microplastics as plastics of size < 5 mm–1 nm. To solve the problem of microplastic pollution, it is essential to track its source. As plastics are pervasive, it is challenging to track its source with a level of certainty required for implementing control strategies. Formulating and adopting suitable environmental forensic techniques to track microplastic pollution become important in this context. This study quantified the microplastic pollution of the Nattika coast, Kerala, India, and devised an environmental forensic investigation strategy for identifying the pathways and sources of microplastics. The microplastics of size 5–1 mm only were considered. The number of microplastics found in the Nattika Beach in 2017 and 2018 was 70.15 items kg−1 of sand and 120.85 items kg−1 of sand, respectively. The microplastics were subjected to analysis in FTIR and SEM as part of characterization. The forensic investigation of the pollution indicated that majority of the microplastic is sourced from the site/nearby area. The investigation could draw useful conclusions regarding the pathways of pollution. The fibrous microplastic, a significant component in the sample, was found to be sourced from the fishing net mending activities carried out close to the shore.

description: (We apologize for pidgin LaTeX) Schlipf \cite{sch91} proved that Stable Logic Programming (SLP) solves all $\mathit{NP}$ decision problems. We extend Schlipf's result to prove that SLP solves all search problems in the class $\mathit{NP}$. Moreover, we do this in a uniform way as defined in \cite{mt99}. Specifically, we show that there is a single $\mathrm{DATALOG}^{\neg}$ program $P_{\mathit{Trg}}$ such that given any Turing machine $M$, any polynomial $p$ with non-negative integer coefficients and any input $σ$ of size $n$ over a fixed alphabet $Σ$, there is an extensional database $\mathit{edb}_{M,p,σ}$ such that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the stable models of $\mathit{edb}_{M,p,σ} \cup P_{\mathit{Trg}}$ and the accepting computations of the machine $M$ that reach the final state in at most $p(n)$ steps. Moreover, $\mathit{edb}_{M,p,σ}$ can be computed in polynomial time from $p$, $σ$ and the description of $M$ and the decoding of such accepting computations from its corresponding stable model of $\mathit{edb}_{M,p,σ} \cup P_{\mathit{Trg}}$ can be computed in linear time. A similar statement holds for Default Logic with respect to $Σ_2^\mathrm{P}$-search problems\footnote{The proof of this result involves additional technical complications and will be a subject of another publication.}.

description: It is well established that pupil activity indexes cognitive processing. For instance, research has consistently demonstrated that the pupil reacts to working memory span task performance. However, little is known about pupil reaction to cognitive processing in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). We thus investigated whether span tasks can modulate pupil size in patients with AD. We invited 24 patients with AD and 24 healthy older adults to perform backward and forward spans, as well as to count aloud in a control condition, while their pupil activity was recorded with eye tracking glasses. In patients with AD, analysis demonstrated larger pupil size during backward spans (M = 2.12, SD = .39) than during forward spans (M = 1.98, SD = .36) [t(23) = 3.22, p = .004], larger pupil size during forward spans than during counting (M = 1.67, SD = .33) [t(23) = 4.75, p < .001], as well as larger pupil size during backward spans than during counting [t(23) = 10.60, p < .001]. In control participants, analysis demonstrated larger pupil size during backward spans (M = 3.36, SD = .49) than during forward spans (M = 2.85, SD = .68) [t(23) = 5.82, p < .001], larger pupil size during forward spans than during counting (M = 2.09, SD = .62) [t(23) = 5.42, < .001], as well as larger pupil size during backward spans than during counting [t(23) = 9.70, p < .001]. Results also demonstrated a significant interaction effect between groups and conditions [F(2,92) = 16.63, p < .001]; in other words, patients with AD have shown fewer variations on the pupil size across the conditions compared to the control participants. The larger pupil size during backward spans, compared with forward spans or counting, can be attributed to the high cognitive load of backward spans. The modulation of pupil size, as observed across backward/forward spans and counting, can possibly be attributed to sympathetic/adrenergic and parasympathetic/cholinergic activities. Our study demonstrates the value of pupillometry as a potential biomarker of cognitive processing in AD.

description: Damming has led worldwide to a reduction in the hydrological variability in rivers. Especially in Alpine streams, hydroelectric production has resulted in an altered hydrological regime that also impedes many eco-morphological dynamics and ecosystem functions. Experimental releases or artificial floods are one of the options river managers use to reduce these negative effects.
Since 2000 the Swiss National Park, in collaboration with the Engadiner Kraftwerke (EKW) hydropower company, has led a yearly project for recreating an experimental/environmental flood (e-flood) to re-establish the river Spöl dynamics and ecosystem.
The effects of the e-flood, although positive for the Spöl river ecosystem, have not been investigated thoroughly along the river Inn, which the Spöl river joins as a major tributary. Here, we focus on the suspended sediment conveyed to the Inn River and on its routing to the Austrian border. The objective of the present study is to understand how much and how far fine sediment released by the e-flood is transported along the Inn and to identify possible sinks for deposition.
In the present study we combine the Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC) data collected with the Riverkin sensors during the 2021 and 2023 e-flood, the continuous hydro-sediment monitoring data by BAFU-FOEN and the EKW discharge measures along their infrastructure network.
These hydro-sediment data are integrated with the channel cross sections surveyed in 2016 (BAFU) and used to build a 1D fixed-bed BASEMENT v4 model to solve the shallow water equations coupled with advection-diffusion of suspended sediments. The numerical model reproduces flow along the river Inn from S-Chanf to Martina, with data-based assumption on the tributary inflows, allowing flood and SSC routing along the 56 kilometre long reach.
The results of the numerical model unravel the complex interaction between the riverbed morphology, the EKW infrastructures and the suspended sediments fed from the Spöl river. The results of the SSC routing along the Inn allowed also to estimate the relative contribution of the Spöl e-floods to the river Inn suspended sediment regime.

description: The inflation-free solution of problems of the modern cosmology (horizon, cosmic initial data, Planck era, arrow of time, singularity,homogeneity, and so on) is considered in the conformal-invariant unified theory given in the space with geometry of similarity where we can measure only the conformal-invariant ratio of all quantities. Conformal General Relativity is defined as the $SU_c(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$-Standard Model where the dimensional parameter in the Higgs potential is replaced by a dilaton scalar field described by the negative Penrose-Chernikov-Tagirov action. Spontaneous SU(2) symmetry breaking is made on the level of the conformal-invariant angle of the dilaton-Higgs mixing, and it allows us to keep the structure of Einstein's theory with the equivalence principle. We show that the lowest order of the linearized equations of motion solves the problems mentioned above and describes the Cold Universe Scenario with the constant temperature T and z-history of all masses with respect to an observable conformal time. A new fact is the intensive cosmic creation of $W,Z$-vector bosons due to their mass singularity. In the rigid state, this effect is determined by the integral of motion $(m_w^2H_{\rm hubble})^{1/3}=2.7 K k_B$ that coincides with the CMB temperature and has the meaning of the primordial Hubble parameter. The created bosons are enough to consider their decay as an origin of the CMB radiation and all observational matter with the observational element abundances and the baryon asymmetry. Recent Supernova data on the relation between the luminosity distance and redshift (including the point $z=1.7$) do not contradict the dominance of the rigid state of the dark matter in the Conformal Cosmology.

description: This PhD project identifies the complex imbrications of political and environmental violence resulting in patterns of human bodies and remains washing up on the shores of three rivers. It seeks to demonstrate that, contrary to common abstractions and universalisations of water as empty and neutral, the materiality and fluvial processes of rivers are highly engineered and even weaponised. Part I, co-researched with colleague Stefanos Levidis (CRA), considers the Evros / Meriç / Maritsa river between Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria as a Fluvial Frontier weighted with riverine crossings and systematic illegal pushbacks at the border of the EU. Part II explores the condition of Fluvial Terror on the Cauca river in Colombia, where the dispossessions of local communities, through extractive processes, are further compounded by the obfuscation of paramilitary violence within the reservoir of the Hidroituango megadam. Part III reads the mobilisation of the confluence of the Wisła, Soła and Przemsza rivers, Poland, as a technology in the obfuscation of traces from the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp and IG Farben chemical factory, as well as contemporary anthropogenic pollutants. In each case power organises, and is organised around, specific fluvial processes and hydrologic properties to disperse the causal agencies ofviolence enacted against subjugated and disempowered communities. Incorporatingvisual culture, testimony, field notes and hydrophonic soundings I employ amethodology that reads rivers across a multi-scalar spectrum from flood to drought,and from entire river catchments to the particulate scale of processes of saltation,accretion and erosion. This thesis, consequently, offers an alternative conceptualisation of rivers as complex and dynamic archives that resist attempts to erase acts of state and non-state violence, and instead continue to narrate andmediate the stories and traces of those who have been lost.

Aufgrund des technologischen Wandels ist ihre Funktion allerdings in Frage gestellt, wodurch ihre Rolle für das Landschaftsbild unklar ist. Sind sie Wahrzeichen oder Störfaktoren? Dieser Frage geht die vorliegende Masterarbeit anhand einer Analyse von zwei Fallstudien, den Richtfunkantennen Chasseral (BE) und Feschel (VS), nach. Die Arbeit bettet sich in den Kontext der sozial-konstruktivistischen Landschaftsforschung und der Akzeptanzforschung mit dem Fokus auf die soziale Akzeptanz ein. Der Wahrnehmungswandel wird im Zeitraum von 1971-2021 durch eine Auswertung von 521 Zeitungsartikel, die mittels einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse und einer Sentiment Analysis ausgewertet werden, eruiert. Aus der Auswertung lässt sich für den Fall Chasseral auf eine Umdeutung schliessen, wodurch die ursprüngliche Funktion (Telekommunikation) an Bedeutung verloren hat und Narrative der Landschaftswahrnehmung, z. B. Funktion als Orientierungspunkt, Ausflugsziel oder Symbol für die Region wichtiger geworden sind und mit einer zunehmenden sozialen Akzeptanz korrelieren. Eine Reduktion der Wahrnehmung auf die Funktion hingegen beeinflusst die soziale Akzeptanz nicht positiv, wie es der Fall Feschel nahelegt. Die beiden Fallstudien zeigen auf, dass das Landschaftsbild und die Aneignung der Antennen durch Umdeutungsmöglichkeiten auf der Wahrnehmungsebene einen Einfluss auf die soziale Akzeptanz von lokalen Akteur*innen haben, insbesondere bei den beiden Akteursgruppen «Bevölkerung» und «Tourismus/Freizeit». Diese beiden Faktoren sollten deshalb sowohl in der künftigen Planung von Infrastrukturbauwerken sowie im Umgang mit bestehenden Infrastrukturen berücksichtigt werden.

description: We provide a review on the physics associated with phase transitions in which continuous scale invariance is broken into discrete scale invariance. The rich features of this transition characterized by the abrupt formation of a geometric ladder of eigenstates, low energy universality without fixed points, scale anomalies and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless scaling is described. The important role of this transition in various celebrated single and many body quantum systems is discussed along with recent experimental realizations. Particular focus is devoted to a recent realization in graphene.

description: Here we are interested to study the spin-1 particle i.e., electro-magnetic wave in curved space-time, say around black hole. After separating the equations into radial and angular parts, writing them according to the black hole geometry, say, Kerr black hole we solve them analytically. Finally we produce complete solution of the spin-1 particles around a rotating black hole namely in Kerr geometry. Obviously there is coupling between spin of the electro-magnetic wave and that of black hole when particles propagate in that space-time. So the solution will be depending on that coupling strength. This solution may be useful to study different other problems where the analytical results are needed. Also the results may be useful in some astrophysical contexts.

description: We investigate the Loschmidt amplitude and dynamical quantum phase transitions in multiband one dimensional topological insulators. For this purpose we introduce a new solvable multiband model based on the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, generalized to unit cells containing many atoms but with the same symmetry properties. Such models have a richer structure of dynamical quantum phase transitions than the simple two-band topological insulator models typically considered previously, with both quasiperiodic and aperiodic dynamical quantum phase transitions present. Moreover the aperiodic transitions can still occur for quenches within a single topological phase. We also investigate the boundary contributions from the presence of the topologically protected edge states of this model. Plateaus in the boundary return rate are related to the topology of the time evolving Hamiltonian, and hence to a dynamical bulk-boundary correspondence. We go on to consider the dynamics of the entanglement entropy generated after a quench, and its potential relation to the critical times of the dynamical quantum phase transitions. Finally, we investigate the fidelity susceptibility as an indicator of the topological phase transitions, and find a simple scaling law as a function of the number of bands of our multiband model which is found to be the same for both bulk and boundary fidelity susceptibilities.

description: The possibility of quantum creation of a dilatonic AdS Universe is discussed.Without dilaton it is known that quantum effects lead to the annihilation of AdS Universe. We consider the role of the form for the dilatonic potential in the quantum creation of a dilatonic AdS Universe. Using the conformal anomaly for dilaton coupled scalar, the anomaly induced action and the equations of motion are obtained. The anomaly induced action is added to classical dilaton gravity action. The solutions of the full theory which correspond to quantum-corrected AdS Universe are given for number of dilatonic potentials.

description: We investigate the effects of cosmological expansion on the spectrum of small-scale structure on a cosmic string. We simulate the evolution of a string with two modes that differ in wavelength by one order of magnitude. Once the short mode is inside the horizon, we find that its physical amplitude remains unchanged, in spite of the fact that its comoving wavelength decreases as the longer mode enters the horizon. Thus the ratio of amplitude to wavelength for the short mode becomes larger than it would be in the absence of the long mode.

description: We present an economical dynamical control scheme to perform quantum computation on a one dimensional optical lattice, where each atom encodes one qubit. The model is based on atom tunneling transitions between neighboring sites of the lattice. They can be activated by external laser beams resulting in a two-qubit phase gate or in an exchange interaction. A realization of the Toffoli gate is presented which requires only a single laser pulse and no individual atom addressing.

description: The purpose of this study is to introduce ANN-based software for the fast evaluation of rotordynamics in the context of robust and integrated design. It is based on a surrogate model made of ensembles of artificial neural networks running in a Bokeh web application. The use of a surrogate model has sped up the computation by three orders of magnitude compared to the current models. ARRID offers fast performance information, including the effect of manufacturing deviations. As such, it helps the designer to make optimal design choices early in the design process. The designer can manipulate the parameters of the design and the operating conditions to obtain performance information in a matter of seconds.
