description: Alkali-metal-noble-gas comagnetometers are precision probes well-suited for tests of fundamental physics and inertial rotation sensing, combining high sensitivity of the spin-exchange-relaxation free (SERF) magnetometers with inherent suppression of magnetic field noise. Past versions of the device utilizing continuous-wave optical pumping are sensitive to a single axis perpendicular to the plane spanned by the orthogonal pump and probe laser beams. These devices are susceptible to light shifts in the alkali atoms, and to power and beam pointing fluctuations of both the probe and pump lasers, the latter of which is a dominant source of $1/f$ noise. In this work, we model and implement an approach to alkali-metal-noble-gas comagnetometers using pulsed optical pumping. After each pump laser pulse, an off-resonance probe beam measures the precession of noble-gas-spins-coupled alkali spins via optical rotation in the dark, thus eliminating effects from pump laser light shift and power fluctuations. Performing non-linear fitting on the sinusoidal transient signal with a proper phase enables separate and simultaneous measurement of signals along two orthogonal axes in the plane perpendicular to the pump beam. Effects from beam pointing fluctuations of the probe beam in the pump-probe plane is fundamentally eliminated, and signal response to pump beam pointing fluctuations is suppressed by compensation from noble-gas nuclear spins.

description: In dynamic vehicle routing problems (DVRPs), some part of the information is revealed or changed on the fly, and the decision maker has the opportunity to re-plan the vehicle routes during their execution, reflecting on the changes. Accordingly, the solution to a DVRP is a flexible policy rather than a set of fixed routes. A policy is basically a problem-specific algorithm that is invoked at various decision points in the planning horizon and returns a decision according to the current state. Since DVRPs involve dynamic decision making, a simulator is an essential tool for dynamically testing and evaluating the policies. Despite this, there are few tools available that are specifically designed for this purpose. To fill this gap, we have developed a simulation framework that is suitable for a wide range of dynamic vehicle routing problems and allows to dynamically test different policies for the given problem. In this paper, we present the background of this simulation tool, for which we proposed a general modeling framework suitable for formalizing DVRPs independently of simulation purposes. Our open source simulation tool is already available, easy to use, and easily customizable, making it a useful tool for the research community.

description: Grave as the last, and about three feet deep: black remains of a coffin: the bones pretty entire: nineteen small glass and earthen beads, of all colours; some of them were striped, or of two colours: three pretty large amber beads: two blades of knives, a larger and a smaller. At the feet, but beyond the coffin, was an iron instrument, very much resembling a pair of modern shears, about eight or nine inches long, but it was so swollen and disguised with rust, that though I really think and believe it was a pair of shears, I cannot pretend to be positive;[1] it came to pieces in getting out, as indeed most of the iron does: several nail-like pieces of iron. Certainly a woman's grave.[1] They certainly were such: I have since found several more, at different places. - B.F.
title: Critique of Journalistic Reason: Language and History in Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Benjamin
Creators: name: Vandeputte, Thomas
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Philosophy, journalism, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Benjamin, historical time, the instant, untimely, actuality

description: This dissertation examines the significance of a theme that recurs throughout the work of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Benjamin but has remained largely overlooked: their preoccupation with journalism. I aim to show that the numerous reflections on journalism that punctuate their writings cannot be separated from their philosophy ‘proper’. On the contrary: as I will argue, this preoccupation plays a pivotal role in the philosophical work of each of these thinkers – in particular their reflections on the philosophy of history. This pivotal role is best understood by examining the theme of journalism in the context of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Benjamin’s inquiries into the conditions and possibilities of historical experience. For each of the three thinkers discussed here, the structure of our experience of history is crystallised in an exemplary manner in the figures of the journalist and the newspaper reader. To understand the conditions under which historical experience becomes possible, so their reflections on the topic suggest, would require a study of journalism and its language, its subjective types and figures, its characteristic sense of time. As such, the figure of journalism will play a distinctly ambivalent role: for Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Benjamin alike, it will mark both the site of the breakdown of historical experience and of its possible renewal. Each of the thinkers discussed here will understand journalism as the exemplary expression of a collapse of the main categories of the philosophy of history after Hegel. At the same time, however, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Benjamin will treat journalism as a site from which a new experience of history may be wrested. As I will show, the images of market criers and angelic messengers, errant reports and rumours, pamphlets and ephemera that are scattered throughout their work can be seen to harbour the elements of a new conception of historical time and experience.

description: Using first-principles calculations, we systematically investigate the spin contributions to the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) in transition metals. The IFE depends on the d-electron filling and asymmetry between excited electron and hole spin moments. Our results reveal that even elements with smaller electron magnetic moments, like Os, can exhibit higher IFE due to greater electron-hole asymmetry. Pt shows the highest IFE in the 1-2 eV frequency range, while Os dominates in the 2-4 eV range. In addition, we demonstrate that the IFE of neighboring elements with similar crystal structures (e.g., Ir, Pt, and Au) can be tuned by adjusting their Fermi levels, indicating the importance of d-electron filling on IFE. Finally, we find that the trend in electron (or hole) contributions to the IFE closely follows that of the spin Hall conductivity, however, the total IFE involves more complex interactions.

I am certain that this sword was buried in the coffin with its master; it was much more perfect than either of those before mentioned; but being very rotten, it broke with its own weight in taking out. Here were also several nail-like pieces of iron.

description: In this work, we explore the discovery potential of the Inert Doublet Model (IDM) via the vector boson fusion (VBF) channel at a muon collider with centre-of-mass energy of 10 TeV. The Inert Doublet Model is a two-Higgs-doublet model variant with an unbroken discrete $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry, featuring new stable scalar particles that can serve as dark matter candidates. Current dark matter data constrain the phenomenologically viable parameter space of the IDM and render certain collider signatures elusive due to tiny couplings. However, VBF-type processes can still exhibit significant enhancements compared to the Standard Model, presenting a promising avenue to probe the IDM at a high-energy muon collider. We consider as our specific target process $μ^+μ^-\to ν_μ\barν_μAA\to ν_μ\barν_μjj \ell\ell HH$, where $H$ and $A$ are the lightest and second-lightest new scalars and $\ell$ can be electrons or muons. We perform both cut-based and machine-learning improved sensitivity analyses for such a signal, finding a population of promising benchmark scenarios. We additionally investigate the impact of the collider energy by comparing sensitivities to the target process at 3 TeV and 10 TeV. Our results provide a clear motivation for a muon collider design capable of reaching a 10 TeV centre-of-mass energy. We furthermore discuss constraints stemming from new-physics corrections to the Higgs to di-photon decay rate as well as the trilinear Higgs coupling in detail, using state-of-the-art higher-order calculations.

description: The study sought to establish the influence backward integration has on organizational efficiency in cement manufacturing companies in Kenya. The study was based on two theories: Resource Dependence Theory (RDT) and Transaction Cost Theory (TCT). Descriptive survey research design was used in this study. The population for this study was the eight cement-manufacturing companies in Kenya. This study adopted the primary method for collecting data through the questionnaire method. The questionnaires were administered using the drop and pick later basis. The study targeted top and middle-level managers from eight cement companies as respondents. From each company, questionnaires were administered to quality control, production, finance, marketing and procurement departments and chief executive officers. The collected data were quantitative and thus were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study carried out a regression analysis with the study establishing that the backward integration strategy was highly adopted by cement manufacturing companies. The influence of the backward integration strategy on organizational efficiency was positive and statistically significant. The positive influence implies that improved backward integration leads to improved organizational efficiency of the cement-manufacturing firms. Based on the study findings, the study concluded that the backward integration strategy was highly adopted by cement manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study further concludes that the influence of backward integration strategy on organizational efficiency was statistically significant. Cement manufacturing firms can thus enhance their efficiency through the adoption of a backward integration strategy.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 1982
Subjects: EMG analysis, accelerometer, tremor, facial muscles

description: This is a pilot study on the relation between EMG and EMG envelope and accelerometer signals derived from a set of facial muscles: m. frontalis; m. corrugator;  m. orbicularis oris; m. zygomaticus major; m. buccinator; m. levator labii superior alaeque nasi. An Entran accelerometer is mechanically attached to a standard Ag/AgCl electrode. Theories on muscle tremor are presented, ranging from normal physiological tremor to residual activity of non-ideal motor-unit twitch fusion and/or dominance of strong motor units. Analyses were done in the spectral domain using coherence as a measure. No tremor was found in m. corrugator and m. frontalis. A slight tremor was found in the 10Hz band for m. buccinator and m. orbicularis oris, which corresponded to a peak in the coherence between accelerogram and EMG envelope, indicating MUAP grouping. A strong tremor and coherence between accelerogram and EMG envelope (coherence >0.5 between 2-30Hz, peak of 0.8 at about 25 Hz) was found for m. levator labii superior alaeque nasi, a small, virtually free-hanging muscle at the side of the nose, with a limited number of motor units. In contrast, m. buccinator did not show any tremor, with coherence values far below 0.1.

ABSTRACT

Experience of education in the international classroom can be challenging if both the students and the teachers have different approaches with regard to ways to learn and teaching methods. This literature review study aimed to investigate the learning and teaching experiences in the international classroom from both the teachers and the students’ perspectives. The findings of this study showed that language barriers are one of the difficulties, but academic cultural differences seem to play a more important role that can impact on the learning outcomes in the international classroom. This can also lead to negative experiences and the forming of stereotypical views of international students solely based on their educational background.

description: The widely-used, weight-only quantized large language models (LLMs), which leverage low-bit integer (INT) weights and retain floating-point (FP) activations, reduce storage requirements while maintaining accuracy. However, this shifts the energy and latency bottlenecks towards the FP activations that are associated with costly memory accesses and computations. Existing LLM accelerators focus primarily on computation optimizations, overlooking the potential of jointly optimizing FP computations and data movement, particularly for the dominant FP-INT GeMM operations in LLM inference.
 To address these challenges, we investigate the sensitivity of activation precision across various LLM modules and its impact on overall model accuracy. Based on our findings, we first propose the Anda data type: an adaptive data format with group-shared exponent bits and dynamic mantissa bit allocation. Secondly, we develop an iterative post-training adaptive precision search algorithm that optimizes the bit-width for different LLM modules to balance model accuracy, energy efficiency, and inference speed. Lastly, a suite of hardware optimization techniques is proposed to maximally exploit the benefits of the Anda format. These include a bit-plane-based data organization scheme, Anda-enhanced processing units with bit-serial computation, and a runtime bit-plane Anda compressor to simultaneously optimize storage, computation, and memory footprints. Our evaluations on FPINT GeMM operations show that Anda achieves a 2.4x speedup, 4.0x area efficiency, and 3.1x energy efficiency improvement on average for popular LLMs including OPT, LLaMA, and LLaMA-2 series over the GPU-like FP-FP baseline. Anda demonstrates strong adaptability across various application scenarios, accuracy requirements, and system performance, enabling efficient LLM inference across a wide range of deployment scenarios.

Progress Towards The Revised Goods Classification Tool

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Biogeographical provinces delineated by the Global Open Oceans and Deep Seabed (GOODS; UNESCO, 2009) classification scheme can help safeguard marine biodiversity, support the ecosystem approach and marine spatial management including MPA network design (Rice et al., 2011).  Although now adapted for ABNJ waters >800 m deep (Watling et al., 2013), GOODS lacks ocean-scale biogeographic data from VMEs (Watling et al., 2013). Without improved understanding of biogeography of the fauna that comprise VMEs, it is risky to assume that a protected or managed area is representative of other “similar” VMEs because biogeographically unique areas could be overlooked resulting in a loss of biodiversity. By Month 30 in ATLAS, WP3 aims to deliver a revised GOODS tool for the North Atlantic, focussing specifically on integrating data on VME indicator taxa and deep-sea fish fauna associated with VMEs. Over the last year, appropriately scaled environmental datasets that might resolve biogeographic provinces for the North Atlantic have been compiled from existing sources (see UNESCO, 2009; Watling et al., 2013) but also Esri’s latest geospatial EMU (Ecological Marine Unit) maps of NOAA’s 50-year World Ocean Atlas that clustered the ocean’s physiographic domain at ¼ x ¼ degree resolution resolved over depths. Also being considered is ATLAS’ latest VIKING20 output on MLD (mixed layer depth) and water mass spread. Next steps are to finalise and grid the environmental data in ArcGIS to identify clusters, then validate and refine these with actual VME biodiversity point data compiled in WP3 and species distribution models. Parallel to this revised GOODS activity are statistical modelling activities in WP3 to understand how the interplay between environmental, historic and intrinsic factors determine the biogeography of VME fauna: ATLAS preliminary findings suggest that the life history traits of VME associated fauna can significantly extend or limit biogeographic ranges beyond what was expected purely by environmental factors alone.

description: The study sought to establish the influence of financial distress on the hedging of financial risks by non-finance listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive research design to examine the influence of financial distress on financial risk hedging practices among non-finance firms listed at NSE in Kenya. The population of interest comprised of the 39 non-finance firms listed at the NSE, Kenya. Given that the population size is smaller, the study did not carry out sampling and a census of the target population was adopted. The study was undertaken as a census of the 39 non-financial firms listed at the NSE. The researcher collected secondary data between 2016 and 2019 from annual reports of the non-finance firms listed at the NSE. The data collected was examined for completeness before analysis commenced. The data was entered in Excel spreadsheets and exported to SPSS. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis with the aid of Excel 2016. Inferential statistics included bivariate Pearson correlation and multiple regressions. The findings showed that liquidity level has a negative and significant effect on firm financial risk hedging decisions. Leverage had a negative and insignificant contribution to the prediction of financial risk hedging decisions of non-financial firms listed at the NSE. Finally, profitability had a negative and significant effect on the financial risk-hedging decisions of non-financial firms listed at the NSE. From the findings and conclusion, there is a need for an organization-wide policy on hedging and derivative use to act as an operation manual for the managers and firms' agents.

description: Grave as before, near four feet deep, the bones pretty sound ; here we found the hemispherical umbo of a shield [M 6193]; it was of iron, and hollow; at the centre of the convexity was a sort of stud, about one inch broad, fixed on to it by a strig or foot, about half an inch long; three iron rivets with flat round heads near two inches broad, with part of the wood of the shield adhering to them. By the length of these studs or rivets, the shield appeared to have been exactly half an inch thick. On the right side of the skull was the head of an hasta or spear, much like that described at No. 1; and on the left side of the skull, the head of a pilum or dart; this was not more than nine inches long, socket and all. The socket, both of this and of the head of the hasta, were full of the rotten wood of their staves. A self-opinionated carpenter, who looked on, did not hesitate a moment, but very assuredly pronounced that it was 'quartered ash'; this is not at all unlikely; but I think it impossible for him to be sure.[1] We found, besides a large iron buckle, a round hollow iron cylinder, about one inch and a half diameter, and about five inches long. I take this to have been a handle[2] to hold the shield by. It appeared to have been bound round with some string, not unlike our packthread, I suppose for the more commodiously grasping it; the string was by the rust of the iron converted into a hard iron-like substance. There was also a blade of a knife, exactly like that at No. 1; it had rotten wood adhering to its strig; but, as my wise friend the carpenter had now unfortunately left me, I will not of myself presume to determine what wood the haft was made of. We also found several small pieces of rusty iron; but all of them so swoln and broken that I could not pretend to give any guess what they might have been. They had something of the appearance of long nails, with very broad heads.[1] The carpenter was probably correct. Portions of wood remaining in the sockets of Anglo-Saxon spear-heads have been ascertained, by the aid of the microscope, to be ash. The Saxon æse, ash, is constantly used in the old Anglo-Saxon poetry for spear. In Beowulf, 1. 664, the javelins or spears gáras are described as having shafts of ash-wood: gáras stódon sæ-manna searo samod ætgædere, æsc-holt ufan græg. Their javelins stood, the weapons of the sea-men, collected together, ash-wood grey above. - C.R.S.[2] See Montfaucon's Antiquité Expliquée, translated by Humphries, vol. iv, pl. 6, fig. 14; pl. 8, fig. 6.

description: We review a class of energy landscape analysis method that uses the Ising model and takes multivariate time series data as input. The method allows one to capture dynamics of the data as trajectories of a ball from one basin to a different basin to yet another, constrained on the energy landscape specified by the estimated Ising model. While this energy landscape analysis has mostly been applied to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from the brain for historical reasons, there are emerging applications outside fMRI data and neuroscience. To inform such applications in various research fields, this review paper provides a detailed tutorial on each step of the analysis, terminologies, concepts underlying the method, and validation, as well as recent developments of extended and related methods.

description: The study sought to establish the effect of financial deepening on the economic growth of Kenya. The research design adopted for this study was descriptive. Secondary data used in this study was sourced from the Nairobi Securities Exchange, Central Bank of Kenya websites and Kenya National Bureau of Statistics as well as World Bank development indicators. The study population was quarterly data for 11 years giving a total of 44 observations per variable. The study used both descriptive and inferential statistics in analyzing the data. First, the data collected was sorted, classified and collated. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation for each variable were calculated and tabulated using tables and inferential statistics. The STATA computer software was used in the analysis of data. Data was analysed using inferential statistics informed by regression and correlation analysis. To measure the effect of financial deepening on the economic growth of Kenya the researcher used regression analysis. The effect was examined at a 95% confidence level while employing a student t-test. The data was subjected to diagnostic tests to evaluate conformity with multiple regression model assumptions.  The study employed normality, heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity, serial correlation and unit root diagnostic tests. The study results established that banking deposits had a statistically insignificant effect on economic growth measured, capital market capitalization had a statistically significant effect on economic growth, Mobile banking had a statistically significant effect on economic growth and that direct capital inflows had a statistically significant effect on economic growth. The study concludes that financial deepening has a significant effect on the economic growth of Kenya.

description: Using the 2PI effective action formalism, we study false vacuum decay beyond the quadratic approximation of the path integral. We derive a coupled system of equations for the bounce and the propagator, and we compute a semi-analytic expression for the self-energy of a real scalar field with cubic and quartic interactions from the 2PI effective action truncated at two loops and without further approximations. Deriving numerical results, we can show that the Hartree approximation, where non-local contributions to the self-energy are neglected, is generally not justified. The procedure we develop is a key step towards the explicit computation of the quantum corrected bounce, the determinant of fluctuations about it and the decay rate in the presence of classical zero-modes that are lifted by quantum effects, e.g. classically scale-invariant models relevant for assessing the Higgs stability.

description: The energy demand of modern cloud services, particularly those related to generative AI, is increasing at an unprecedented pace. To date, carbon-aware computing strategies have primarily focused on batch process scheduling or geo-distributed load balancing. However, such approaches are not applicable to services that require constant availability at specific locations due to latency, privacy, data, or infrastructure constraints.
 In this paper, we explore how the carbon footprint of energy-intensive services can be reduced by adjusting the fraction of requests served by different service quality tiers. We show that adapting this quality of responses with respect to grid carbon intensity can lead to additional carbon savings beyond resource and energy efficiency and introduce a forecast-based multi-horizon optimization that reaches close-to-optimal carbon savings.

description: Benchmark dose (BMD; a dose associated with a specified change in response) is used to determine the point of departure for the acceptable daily intake of substances for humans. Multiple dose-response relationship models are considered in the BMD method. Bayesian model averaging (BMA) is commonly used, where several models are averaged based on their posterior probabilities, which are determined by calculating the marginal likelihood (ML). Several ML approximation methods are employed in standard software packages, such as BBMD, \texttt{ToxicR}, and Bayesian BMD for the BMD method, because the ML cannot be analytically calculated. Although ML values differ among approximation methods, resulting in different posterior probabilities and BMD estimates, this phenomenon is neither widely recognized nor quantitatively evaluated. In this study, we evaluated the performance of five ML approximation methods: (1) maximum likelihood estimation (MLE)-based Schwarz criterion, (2) Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based Schwarz criterion, (3) Laplace approximation, (4) density estimation, and (5) bridge sampling through numerical examples using four real experimental datasets. Eight models and three prior distributions used in BBMD and \texttt{ToxicR} were assumed. The approximation and estimation biases of bridge sampling were the smallest regardless of the dataset or prior distributions. Both the approximation and estimation biases of MCMC-based Schwarz criterion and Laplace approximation were large for some datasets. Thus, the approximation biases of the density estimation were relatively small but were large for some datasets. In terms of the accuracy of ML approximation methods, using Bayesian BMD, in which the bridge sampling is available, is preferred.

description: Grave as the last, and about three feet deep. Much remains of a burnt coffin: bones nearly gone: sixteen small beads of baked earth, of different colours, viz., seven red, four blue, three yellow, and two green; and one larger bead, red and white. An iron instrument, about six inches long, exactly like that described at No. 15; it had, like that, a ringle in one end. Another iron instrument, of this shape; it was about six inches long and one inch broad, and had been fixed to some wood by two rivets; it had a small iron ringle on each end, as I have endeavoured to describe them. It was rusted into a lump with some other bits of iron, and several such links as have been before described, so that I could not easily make out its shape. It was at the feet, and in the coffin; and near it (in the coffin also), I found a small urn of greenish glass [M 6064], in the shape of a bell, which I had the good fortune to get out unhurt; it is three inches and three-quarters diameter at the mouth, and three-quarters of an inch high. Doubtless a woman's grave.

description: Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules, composed of an excited Rydberg atom and a ground-state atom, are characterized by large bond lengths, dipole moments, sensitivity to external fields, and an unusual binding mechanism based on low-energy elastic electron scattering. Although Rydberg molecules formed between alkali atoms have received the most attention, the additional complexity found in atoms with more than a single valence electron poses new theoretical challenges as well as new possibilities for control and design of the molecular structure. In this paper, we extend the theory of Rydberg molecules to include the additional spin coupling of the Rydberg states of a multivalent atom. We employ this theory to describe the properties of Rydberg molecules composed of mercury atoms. We calculate the potential energy curves of both heteronuclear (Hg*Rb) and homonuclear (Hg*Hg) molecules. In the former case, we propose the realization of long-range spin entanglement and remote spin flip. In the latter, we show how long-lived metastable molecular states of Hg*Hg exist as resonances above the dissociation threshold.
