description: Using three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations, we investigate the formation of multiple stellar populations (MSPs) in globular clusters (GCs) within the context of their parent galaxies. In our scenario, the second generation (2G) of stars originate from both asymptotic giant branch (AGB) polluters and pristine gas accreted from the host galaxy. Previous theoretical and numerical studies have demonstrated that this 'AGB with dilution' model has the potential to alleviate several problems faced by the classical AGB scenario. However, the accretion of pristine gas on to the GC has yet to be investigated within the context of the parent galaxy. This paper presents the preliminary results from our original simulation code which models GC formation from giant molecular clouds in a host galaxy, and subsequent gas accretion on to the GC. By simulating the genesis of the 2G over a 370 Myr time frame, we demonstrate that the fraction of 2G stars are inextricably linked to the GC's environment. Our simulations rationalize the wide variety of abundance patterns, kinematics, and 2G concentrations by altering the initial conditions of both the GC progenitor and the host galaxy itself. Most notably, we reproduce a positive correlation between the fraction of 2G stars and the initial mass of the cluster. We discuss the physical implications of our scenario and compare our simulations with observations of the Galactic GC 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc). Finally, we present scaling relations that encompass the wider GC population and serve as a reference for future observations.

description: RoboChart is a core notation in the RoboStar framework. It is a timed and probabilistic domain-specific and state machine-based language for robotics. RoboChart supports shared variables and communication across entities in its component model. It has formal denotational semantics given in CSP. The semantic technique of Interaction Trees (ITrees) represents behaviours of reactive and concurrent programs interacting with their environments. Recent mechanisation of ITrees, along with ITree-based CSP semantics and a Z mathematical toolkit in Isabelle/HOL, bring new applications of verification and animation for state-rich process languages, such as RoboChart. In this paper, we use ITrees to give RoboChart novel operational semantics, implement it in Isabelle, and use Isabelle's code generator to generate verified and executable animations. We illustrate our approach using an autonomous chemical detector model and a patrol robot model additionally exhibiting nondeterminism and using shared variables. With animation, we show two concrete scenarios for the chemical detector when the robot encounters different environmental inputs and three concrete scenarios for the patrol robot when its calibrated position is in different sections of a corridor. We also verify that the animated scenarios are truly trace refinements of the CSP denotational semantics of the RoboChart models using FDR, a refinement model checker for CSP. This ensures that our approach to resolving nondeterminism using CSP operators with priority is sound and correct.

description: We present the results of timing and spectral analysis of the blazar H 2356-309 using XMM-Newton observations. This blazar is observed during 13 June 2005-24 December 2013 in total nine observations. Five of the observations show moderate flux variability with amplitude 1.7-2.2 percent. We search for the intra-day variability timescales in these five light curves, but did not find in any of them. The fractional variability amplitude is generally lower in the soft bands than in the hard bands, which is attributed to the energy dependent synchrotron emission. Using the hardness ratio analysis, we search for the X-ray spectral variability along with flux variability in this source. However, we did not find any significant spectral variability on intra-day timescales. We also investigate the X-ray spectral curvature of blazar H 2356-309 and found that six of our observations are well described by the log parabolic model with alpha=1.99-2.15 and beta=0.03-0.18. Three of our observations are well described by power law model. The break energy of the X-ray spectra varies between 1.97-2.31 keV. We investigate the correlation between various parameters that are derived from log parabolic model and their implications are discussed.

description: We experimentally demonstrate quantum behavior of a macroscopic atomic spin oscillator in the acoustic frequency range. Quantum back-action of the spin measurement, ponderomotive squeezing of light, and oscillator spring softening are observed at spin oscillation frequencies down to 6 kHz. Quantum noise sources characteristic of spin oscillators operating in the near-DC frequency range are identified and means for their mitigation are presented. These results constitute an important step towards quantum noise reduction and entanglement-enhanced sensing in the acoustic range using a negative-mass reference frame. In particular, the results are relevant for broadband noise reduction in gravitational wave detectors.

description: We study the SL(2,R) WZWN string model describing bosonic string theory in AdS_3 space-time as a deformed oscillator together with its mass spectrum and the string modified SL(2,R) uncertainty relation. The SL(2,R) string oscillator is far more quantum (with higher quantum uncertainty) and more excited than the non deformed one. This is accompassed by the highly excited string mass spectrum which is drastically changed with respect to the low excited one. The highly excited quantum string regime and the low excited semiclassical regime of the SL(2,R) string model are described and shown to be the quantum-classical dual of each other in the precise sense of the usual classical-quantum duality. This classical-quantum realization is not assumed nor conjectured. The quantum regime (high curvature) displays a modified Heisenberg's uncertainty relation, while the classical (low curvature) regime has the usual quantum mechanics uncertainty principle.

description: Computer programming is a fundamental tool for life scientists, allowing them to carry out many essential research tasks. However, despite a variety of educational efforts, learning to write code can be a challenging endeavor for both researchers and students in life science disciplines. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have made it possible to translate human-language prompts to functional code, raising questions about whether these technologies can aid (or replace) life scientists' efforts to write code. Using 184 programming exercises from an introductory-bioinformatics course, we evaluated the extent to which one such model -- OpenAI's ChatGPT -- can successfully complete basic- to moderate-level programming tasks. On its first attempt, ChatGPT solved 139 (75.5%) of the exercises. For the remaining exercises, we provided natural-language feedback to the model, prompting it to try different approaches. Within 7 or fewer attempts, ChatGPT solved 179 (97.3%) of the exercises. These findings have important implications for life-sciences research and education. For many programming tasks, researchers no longer need to write code from scratch. Instead, machine-learning models may produce usable solutions. Instructors may need to adapt their pedagogical approaches and assessment techniques to account for these new capabilities that are available to the general public.

description: Aims: To trace the radial and vertical spatial distribution of H2CS, a key species of the S-bearing chemistry, in protoplanetary disks. To analyse the observed distributions in light of the H2CS binding energy, in order to discuss the role of thermal desorption in enriching the gas disk component. Methods: In the context of the ALMA chemical survey of Disk-Outflow sources in the Taurus star forming region (ALMA-DOT), we observed five Class I or early Class II sources with the o-H2CS(7_1,6-6_1,5) line on a 40 au scale. We estimated the binding energy (BEs) of H2CS using quantum mechanical calculations, for the first time, for an extended, periodic, crystalline ice. Results: We imaged H2CS in two rotating molecular rings in the HL Tau and IRAS04302+2247 disks. The outer radii are about 140 au (HL Tau), and 115 au (IRAS 04302+2247). The edge-on geometry of IRAS 04302+2247 reveals that H2CS emission peaks, at radii of 60-115 au, at z = +- 50 au from the equatorial plane. The column densities are about 10^14 cm^-2. For HL Tau, we derive, for the first time, the [H2CS]/[H] abundance in a protoplanetary disk (about 10^-14). The BEs of H2CS computed for extended crystalline ice and amorphous ices is 4258 K and 3000-4600 K, respectively, implying a thermal evaporation where dust temperature is larger than 50-80 K. Conclusions: H2CS traces the so-called warm molecular layer, a region previously sampled using CS, and H2CO. Thioformaldehyde peaks closer to the protostar than H2CO and CS, plausibly due to the relatively high-excitation level of observed 7_1,6-6_1,5 line (60 K). The H2CS BEs implies that thermal desorption dominates in thin, au-sized, inner and/or upper disk layers, indicating that the observed H2CS emitting up to radii larger than 100 au is likely injected in the gas due to non-thermal processes.

Indians and Indianism in revolutionary Mexico
Creators: name: Rogers, Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Although the mass participation of Mexican Indians in the Revolution of 1910-1920 is universally recognized, recent scholarship has tended to downplay—even to deny outright—the ethnic specificity of their involvement: i.e., their capacity to formulate goals and pursue projects distinct from those of Ladinos (non-Indians). This essay argues, to the contrary, that the revolution was a conflict not only of class against class but of culture against culture, of aboriginal identity against European identity; and, moreover, that given Mexico's legacy of colonialism and neocolonialism it could not have been otherwise. After a brief introduction, a theoretical discussion undertakes to define Ladino and Indian ethnic groups as historical products of the colonizing process and the indigenous response to that process. The two main strands of Indianist ideology—elite and peasant Indianism—are likewise derived, it is argued, from the history of domination and resistance which followed upon the Spanish conquest. Historical sketches of these opposing ideological currents are then provided as background to the study of Indians and Indianism in the Mexican Revolution, which follows in sections V, VI, and VII (pp. 19-37). While Indians throughout Mexico participated in the Revolution, this essay focuses on the most prominent instance of peasant Indianism in the twentieth century, the movement led by Emiliano Zapata. The widespread perception of Zapata as an Indian and of Zapatismo as a species of Indianism is demonstrated in a review of contemporary accounts; and the accuracy of that perception is confirmed by analyzing the discourse of two prominent Zapatista ideologues, Paulino Martinez and Antonio Diaz Soto y Gama. Finally, the character of Zapatismo as an Indian—more specifically a Nahua—revolution is investigated at the grassroots level, in a study of oral literature and other ethnohistorical materials reflecting the viewpoint of the peasant Zapatistas themselves.

description: Mkn 841 has been observed during 3 different periods (January 2001, January 2005 and July 2005) by XMM-Newton for a total cumulated exposure time of ~108 ks. We present in this paper a broad band spectral analysis of the complete EPIC-pn data sets. These observations confirm the presence of the strong soft excess and complex iron line profile known to be present in this source since a long time. They also reveal their extreme and puzzling spectral and temporal behaviors. Indeed, the 0.5-2 keV soft X-ray flux decreases by a factor 3 between 2001 and 2005 and the line shape appears to be a mixed of broad and narrow components, both variable but on differen timescales. The broad-band 0.5-10 keV spectra are well described by a model including a primary power law continuum, a blurred photoionized reflection and a narrow iron line, the blurred reflection fitting self-consistently the soft excess and the broad line component. The origin and nature of the narrow component is unclear.

description: A different approach will be presented that aims to scrutinize the phase-space trajectories of a general class of Hamiltonian systems with regard to their regular or irregular behavior. The approach is based on the `energy-second-moment map' that can be constructed for all Hamiltonian systems of the generic form $H=p^{2}/2+V(q,t)$. With a three-component vector $s$ consisting of the system's energy $H$ and second moments $qp$, $q^{2}$, this map linearly relates the vector $s(t)$ at time $t$ with the vector's initial state $s(0)$ at $t=0$. It will turn out that this map is directly obtained from the solution of a linear third-order equation that establishes an extension of the set of canonical equations. The Lyapunov functions of the energy-second-moment map will be shown to have simple analytical representations in terms of the solutions of this linear third-order equation. Applying Lyapunov's regularity analysis for linear systems, we will show that the Lyapunov functions of the energy-second-moment map yields information on the irregularity of the particular phase-space trajectory. Our results will be illustrated by means of numerical examples.

description: The lack or absence of parallel and comparable corpora makes bilingual lexicon extraction a difficult task for low-resource languages. The pivot language and cognate recognition approaches have been proven useful for inducing bilingual lexicons for such languages. We propose constraint-based bilingual lexicon induction for closely-related languages by extending constraints from the recent pivot-based induction technique and further enabling multiple symmetry assumption cycles to reach many more cognates in the transgraph. We further identify cognate synonyms to obtain many-to-many translation pairs. This paper utilizes four datasets: one Austronesian low-resource language and three Indo-European high-resource languages. We use three constraint-based methods from our previous work, the Inverse Consultation method and translation pairs generated from the Cartesian product of input dictionaries as baselines. We evaluate our result using the metrics of precision, recall and F-score. Our customizable approach allows the user to conduct cross-validation to predict the optimal hyperparameters (cognate threshold and cognate synonym threshold) with various combinations of heuristics and the number of symmetry assumption cycles to gain the highest F-score. Our proposed methods have statistically significant improvement of precision and F-score compared to our previous constraint-based methods. The results show that our method demonstrates the potential to complement other bilingual dictionary creation methods like word alignment models using parallel corpora for high-resource languages while well handling low-resource languages.

description: We explore the properties of polynomial Lagrangians for chiral $p$-forms previously proposed by the last named author, and in particular, provide a self-contained treatment of the symmetries and equations of motion that shows a great economy and simplicity of this formalism. We further use analogous techniques to construct polynomial democratic Lagrangians for general $p$-forms where electric and magnetic potentials appear on equal footing as explicit dynamical variables. Due to our reliance on the differential form notation, the construction is compact and universally valid for forms of all ranks, in any number of dimensions.

description: Topological electronics has extended its richness to non-electronic systems where phonons and magnons can play the role of electrons. In particular, topological phases of magnons can be enabled by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) which acts as an effective spin-orbit coupling. We show that besides DMI, an alternating arrangement of Heisenberg exchange interactions critically determines the magnon band topology, realizing a magnonic analog of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. On a honeycomb ferromagnet with perpendicular anisotropy, we calculate the topological phase diagram, the chiral edge states, and the associated magnon Hall effect by allowing the relative strength of exchange interactions on different links to be tunable. Including weak phonon-magnon hybridization does not change the result. Candidate materials are discussed.
The transformation of Oedipus : characterization and anagnorisis in the Oedipus Tyrannus of Sophocles
Creators: name: Mori, Catherine Anne McAnulty
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Oedipus myth is a very ancient one in the Greek tradition. In the Oedipus Tyrannus, Sophocles builds on the familiar theme to explore the mystery of human existence using Oedipus as a metaphor for the indomitable spirit of the human individual in face of the incomprehensible workings of the gods. Although Sophocles uses a generally well-known story, he brings originality to his drama in the way he develops the characters and stages the action. The thesis is divided into four parts. In the Introduction, I shall give an overview of the story with reference to the historic and mythic background to the Oedipus legend. In this section I discuss the Sphinx, an important icon in art, as an underlying image and suggest that she is a catalyst for action at specific points in the play; she is also closely linked with the god Apollo. It is her riddle that is heard in echo throughout the dialogue, from the forbidding language of the oracles to the maddening riddles of Teiresias and to the seemingly innocent musings of the Chorus. I also show how Sophocles treats the characters to bring about the peripeteia (reversal of fortune) and anagnorisis (self-recognition) of his protagonist, methods much admired by Aristotle. In this treatment Sophocles uses human as well as divine agents. And, lastly, I give a brief summary of the interpretation of the views of representative modern critics. In Chapter One, I analyse the human agents of peripeteia and anagnorisis, showing how these characters try to prevent the anagnorisis, yet to no avail. The main agents, the dramatis personae, are (in the order in which they appear in the play) the priest of Zeus, Creon, Teiresias, Jocasta and the Chorus. In Chapter Two, I discuss the divine agents, Apollo and the Sphinx. Although neither of these agents appears in the drama, each has a profound effect on the action. Since the epithets used for Apollo vary throughout the dialogue, I suggest possible significance for the varying usage. And, finally, I detail what is known of the Sphinx in literature, myth and the plastic arts. To summarize, in the self-blinding of Oedipus, we see not the defeat of human being but his transformation. The sufferings of a previously all-knowing yet ignorant Oedipus have changed him into a refined being, reduced to outer blindness yet opened to inner sight. The mysteries and riddles have become untangled and solved. Oedipus is a success story despite all appearance to the contrary.

description: Fluctuation dynamos are thought to play an essential role in magnetized galaxy evolution, saturating within $\sim0.01~$Gyr and thus potentially acting as seeds for large-scale dynamos. However, unambiguous observational confirmation of the fluctuation dynamo action in a galactic environment is still missing. This is because, in spiral galaxies, it is difficult to differentiate between small-scale magnetic fields generated by a fluctuation dynamo and those due to the tangling of the large-scale field. We propose that observations of magnetic fields in elliptical galaxies would directly probe the fluctuation dynamo action. This is motivated by the fact that in ellipticals, due to their lack of significant rotation, the conventional large-scale dynamo is absent and the fluctuation dynamo is responsible for controlling the magnetic field strength and structure. By considering turbulence injected by Type Ia supernova explosions and possible magnetic field amplification by cooling flows, we estimate expected magnetic field strengths of $0.2~-~1 \,μ{\rm G}$ in quiescent elliptical galaxies. We use a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation to estimate the distribution and redshift evolution of field strengths, tentatively finding a decrease in magnetic field strength with decreasing redshift. We analyse a sample of radio sources that exhibit the Laing-Garrington (LG) effect (radio polarization asymmetry in jets) and infer magnetic field strengths between $0.14~-~1.33 \,μ{\rm G}$ for a uniform thermal electron density and between $1.36~-~6.21\,μ{\rm G}$ for the thermal electron density following the King profile. We examine observational techniques for measuring the magnetic field saturation state in elliptical galaxies, focusing on Faraday RM grids, the LG effect, synchrotron emission, and gravitational lensing, finding appealing prospects for future empirical analysis.

description: Search is one of the most common platforms used to seek information. However, users mostly get overloaded with results whenever they use such a platform to resolve their queries. Nowadays, direct answers to queries are being provided as a part of the search experience. The question-answer (QA) retrieval process plays a significant role in enriching the search experience. Most off-the-shelf Semantic Textual Similarity models work fine for well-formed search queries, but their performances degrade when applied to a domain-specific setting having incomplete or grammatically ill-formed search queries in prevalence. In this paper, we discuss a framework for calculating similarities between a given input query and a set of predefined questions to retrieve the question which matches to it the most. We have used it for the financial domain, but the framework is generalized for any domain-specific search engine and can be used in other domains as well. We use Siamese network [6] over Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) [3] models to train a classifier which generates unnormalized and normalized similarity scores for a given pair of questions. Moreover, for each of these question pairs, we calculate three other similarity scores: cosine similarity between their average word2vec embeddings [15], cosine similarity between their sentence embeddings [7] generated using RoBERTa [17] and their customized fuzzy-match score. Finally, we develop a metaclassifier using Support Vector Machines [19] for combining these five scores to detect if a given pair of questions is similar. We benchmark our model's performance against existing State Of The Art (SOTA) models on Quora Question Pairs (QQP) dataset as well as a dataset specific to the financial domain.

description: Matter-wave interference mechanisms in one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates that allow for the controlled generation of dark soliton trains upon choosing suitable box-type initial configurations are described. First, the direct scattering problem for the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonzero boundary conditions and general box-type initial configurations is discussed, and expressions for the discrete spectrum corresponding to the dark soliton excitations generated by the dynamics are obtained. It is found that the size of the initial box directly affects the number, size and velocity of the solitons, while the initial phase determines the parity of the solutions. The analytical results are compared to those of numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, both in the absence and in the presence of a harmonic trap. The numerical results bear out the analytical results with excellent agreement.

Magnetic resonance in the quasi-2D square lattice easy-plane antiferromagnet Ba$_2$MnGe$_2$O$_7$

description: We report results of a multi-frequency (0.8-60 GHz) electron spin resonance study of the spin dynamics in the quasi-2D square lattice antiferromagnet Ba$_2$MnGe$_2$O$_7$ both in antiferromagnetically ordered and paramagnetic phases. We directly observe two zero-field gaps in the excitation spectrum of the ordered phase, the larger one being due to easy-plane anisotropy, and the smaller one indicates the presence of fourth-order in-plane anisotropy probably related to the multiferroic properties of this compound. We observe effects of hyperfine interaction on the electron spin resonance spectra in the antiferromagnetically ordered state, which turns out to be comparable with in-plane anisotropy. The hyperfine field strength is found from the observed low-temperature electron spin resonance data. The spin dynamics of the paramagnetic phase is characterized by strong broadening of the ESR absorption line, which can be ascribed to the vortex dynamics of a 2D magnet.

description: With geographic message dissemination, connected vehicles can be served with traffic information in their proximity, thereby positively impacting road safety, traffic management, or routing. Since such messages are typically relevant in a small geographic area, servers only distribute messages to affected vehicles for efficiency reasons. One main challenge is to maintain scalability of the server infrastructure when collecting location updates from vehicles and determining the relevant group of vehicles when messages are distributed to a geographic relevance area, while at the same time respecting the individual user's privacy in accordance with legal regulations. In this paper, we present a framework for geographic message dissemination following the privacy-by-design and privacy-by-default principles, without having to accept efficiency drawbacks compared to conventional server-client based approaches.

description: The Karma asteroid family is a group of primitive asteroids in the middle part of the main belt, just at the outer edge of the 3J:1A mean-motion resonance. We obtained the list of the family members with 317 asteroids and estimated that it was formed by the catastrophic disruption of a parent body that was between 34 and 41 km in diameter. Based on the V-shape method, age of the Karma family is estimated to be about 137 Myr. A detailed dynamical map of the region combined with numerical simulations allowed us to reconstruct the long-term dynamical evolution of the family, and to identify the mechanisms responsible for this evolution. The numerical simulations successfully reproduced the main features in the orbital distribution of the family members but also showed that some regions of the Karma family could be missing. A more detailed analysis revealed that these regions likely consist of very dark objects, fainter than absolute magnitude H = 17, that have not yet been detected. Based on the obtained results, we concluded that magnitude-frequency distribution of family members up to H = 16 mag is neither affected by dynamical erosion nor observational incompleteness and therefore represents the result of collisional grinding of the original family population. Finally, we found that the Karma family have been supplying some asteroids to the near-Earth region via the 3J:1A resonance. Currently, there should about 10 family members larger than 1 km in diameter, orbiting in the near-Earth space.

MöbiusE: Knowledge Graph Embedding on Möbius Ring

description: In this work, we propose a novel Knowledge Graph Embedding (KGE) strategy, called MöbiusE, in which the entities and relations are embedded to the surface of a Möbius ring. The proposition of such a strategy is inspired by the classic TorusE, in which the addition of two arbitrary elements is subject to a modulus operation. In this sense, TorusE naturally guarantees the critical boundedness of embedding vectors in KGE. However, the nonlinear property of addition operation on Torus ring is uniquely derived by the modulus operation, which in some extent restricts the expressiveness of TorusE. As a further generalization of TorusE, MöbiusE also uses modulus operation to preserve the closeness of addition operation on it, but the coordinates on Möbius ring interacts with each other in the following way: {\em \color{red} any vector on the surface of a Möbius ring moves along its parametric trace will goes to the right opposite direction after a cycle}. Hence, MöbiusE assumes much more nonlinear representativeness than that of TorusE, and in turn it generates much more precise embedding results. In our experiments, MöbiusE outperforms TorusE and other classic embedding strategies in several key indicators.
