description: Clustering commodity displays into a Tiled Display Wall (TDW) provides a cost-effective way to create an extremely high resolution display, capable of approaching the image sizes now gen- erated by modern astronomical instruments. Astronomers face the challenge of inspecting single large images, many similar images simultaneously, and heterogeneous but related content. Many research institutions have constructed TDWs on the basis that they will improve the scientific outcomes of astronomical imagery. We test this concept by presenting sample images to astronomers and non- astronomers using a standard desktop display (SDD) and a TDW. These samples include standard English words, wide field galaxy surveys and nebulae mosaics from the Hubble telescope. These experiments show that TDWs provide a better environment for searching for small targets in large images than SDDs. It also shows that astronomers tend to be better at searching images for targets than non-astronomers, both groups are generally better when employing physical navigation as opposed to virtual navigation, and that the combination of two non-astronomers using a TDW rivals the experience of a single astronomer. However, there is also a large distribution in aptitude amongst the participants and the nature of the content also plays a significant role is success.

description: We study ground state properties and particle excitation spectra across a commensurate charge density wave transition in a system of strongly interacting fermions, using series expansion methods and mean-field theory. We consider a 1/3-filled system of spinless fermions on a triangular-lattice, with hopping parameter $t$, nearest-neighbor repulsion $V$, and a sublattice dependent chemical potential $μ_s$. The phase transition is found to be first order for $μ_s=0$, but becomes continuous with increasing $μ_s$. The particle and hole excitation spectra exhibit dramatic changes in the vicinity of the phase transitions and in the charge-density wave ordered phase. We discuss the relevance of this study to the Pinball Fermi liquid phase postulated theoretically in earlier studies as well as to various strongly correlated triangular-lattice materials.

description: Here we show how the Minimally Entangled States (MES) of a 2d system with topological order can be identified using the geometric measure of entanglement. We show this by minimizing this measure for the doubled semion, doubled Fibonacci and toric code models on a torus with non-trivial topological partitions. Our calculations are done either quasi-exactly for small system sizes, or using the tensor network approach in [R. Orus, T.-C. Wei, O. Buerschaper, A. Garcia-Saez, arXiv:1406.0585] for large sizes. As a byproduct of our methods, we see that the minimisation of the geometric entanglement can also determine the number of Abelian quasiparticle excitations in a given model. The results in this paper provide a very efficient and accurate way of extracting the full topological information of a 2d quantum lattice model from the multipartite entanglement structure of its ground states.

Subjects: classificationCode: 400802
subject: Electrical circuits and systems

description: The aim of the proposed paper is an analytical model and realization of the
characteristics for tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) based on charge
plasma (CP). One of the most applications of the TFET device which
operates based on CP technique is the biosensor. CP-TFET is to be used as
an effective device to detect the uncharged molecules of the bio-sample
solution. Charge plasma is one of some techniques that recently invited to
induce charge carriers inside the devices. In this proposed paper we use a
high work function in the source (ϕ=5.93 eV) to induce hole charges and we
use a lower work function in drain (ϕ=3.90 eV) to induce electron charges.
Many electrical characterizations in this paper are considered to study the
performance of this device like a current drain (ID) versus voltage gate
(Vgs), ION/IOFF ratio, threshold voltage (VT) transconductance (gm), and sub
threshold swing (SS). The signification of this paper comes into view
enhancement the performance of the device. Results show that high
dielectric (K=12), oxide thickness (Tox=1 nm), channel length (Lch=42
nm), and higher work function for the gate (ϕ=4.5 eV) tend to best charge
plasma silicon tunnel field-effect transistor characterization.

description: Purpose: This study provided reference data and examined psychometric properties for clausal density (CD; i.e., number of clauses per utterance) in children between ages 4 and 9 years from the database of the Edmonton Narrative Norms Instrument (ENNI).Method: Participants in the ENNI database included 300 children with typical language (TL) and 77 children with language impairment (LI) between the ages of 4;0 (years;months) and 9;11. Narrative samples were collected using a story generation task, in which children were asked to tell stories based on six picture sequences. CD was computed from the narrative samples. The split-half reliability, concurrent criterion validity, and diagnostic accuracy were evaluated for CD by age.Results: CD scores increased significantly between ages 4 and 9 years in children with TL and those with LI. Children with TL produced higher CD scores than those with LI at each age level. In addition, the correlation coefficients for the split-half reliability and concurrent criterion validity of CD scores were all significant at each age level, with the magnitude ranging from small to large. The diagnostic accuracy of CD scores, as revealed by sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios, was poor.Conclusions: The finding on diagnostic accuracy did not support the use of CD for identifying children with LI between ages 4 and 9 years. However, given the attested reliability and validity for CD, reference data of CD from the ENNI database can be used for evaluating children’s difficulties with complex syntax and monitoring their change over time.

description: The article examines in detail the activities of personal data operators in Russia, in particular such aspects as criteria of physical and virtual presence in a state, extraterritorial protection of personal data of citizens, problems of enforcement and probability of inspections by regulatory authorities as well as responsibility for failure to comply with statutory requirements. The analysis proposed by the author can be successfully used in the practice of personal data operator companies, especially those located abroad, in the performance of duties prescribed by the legislation of the Russian Federation. In conclusion, the author draws attention to the need to comply with the requirements of provided by Russian legislation to personal data operators, even if an organization that collects or operates with personal data does not have physical presence in the Russian Federation. Non-compliance with such duties may highly likely lead to blockages of Internet resources in the Russian Federation, if they are not localized in that country, as happened in the high-profile cases related to the blockages of LinkedIn and Twitter in Russia.

description: Data presented at the International Conference of Applied Sciences ICAS 2022 held at Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 25-28 May 2022. It shows the analysis of data generated under the project: DEC2021/05/X/ST8/00114 funded by National Science Center of Poland. Abstract: The aim of this research is to expand the knowledge on the description of the grains breakage energy. In effect of the research a model to describe the rice and corn grains breakage energy in dependance of size was developed. This was achieved by linking the level of grinding energy with the properties of the material (particle size) and the loading conditions. The selected grains (rice and corn) were subjected to loads (compression and cutting) on a testing machine. Based on the force-displacement curves, the relationship between the energy necessary to cause a breakage and particle size was described. The results show, that the energy needed for grain shearing changes with the particle size according to the power law, similarly to brittle materials. Through proposed modeling approach, it will be possible to reduce undesirable grain damage as well as improve the operation and design of processing machines in terms of their energy consumption and efficiency.

The depleted Higgs boson: searches for universal coupling suppression, invisible decays, and mixed-in scalars

description: Two simple ways by which the standard signals of the Standard Model Higgs boson can be depleted are: its couplings to fermions and gauge bosons can be suppressed by a universal factor, and part of its branching fraction can be drained into invisible final states. A large class of theories can impose one or both of these depletion factors, even if mild, by way of additional scalar bosons that are singlets under the Standard Model but mix with the Higgs boson. We perform a comprehensive survey of the present status of the depleted Higgs boson, and discuss future prospects for detecting the presence of either depletion factor. We also survey the constraints status and future detection prospects for the generic case of extra mixed-in scalars which generically lead to these depletion factors for the Higgs boson. We find, for example, that precision study of the Higgs boson in many cases is more powerful than searches for the extra scalar states, given the slate of next-generation experiments that are on the horizon.

description: To rigorously model fast ions in fusion plasmas, a non-Maxwellian equilibrium distribution must be used. In the work, the response of high-energy alpha particles to electrostatic turbulence has been analyzed for several different tokamak parameters. Our results are consistent with known scalings and experimental evidence that alpha particles are generally well-confined: on the order of several seconds. It is also confirmed that the effect of alphas on the turbulence is negligible at realistically low concentrations, consistent with linear theory. It is demonstrated that the usual practice of using a high-temperature Maxwellian gives incorrect estimates for the radial alpha particle flux, and a method of correcting it is provided. Furthermore, we see that the timescales associated with collisions and transport compete at moderate energies, calling into question the assumption that alpha particles remain confined to a flux surface that is used in the derivation of the slowing-down distribution.

description: We demonstrate a single-photon sensitive spectrometer in the visible range, which allows us to perform time-resolved and multi-photon spectral correlation measurements. It is based on a monochromator composed of two gratings, collimation optics and an array of single photon avalanche diodes. The time resolution can reach $110$ ps and the spectral resolution is $2$ nm/pixel, limited by the design of the monochromator. This technique can easily be combined with commercial monochromators, and can be useful for joint spectrum measurements of two photons emitted in the process of parametric down conversion, as well as time-resolved spectrum measurements in optical coherence tomography or medical physics applications.

description: In this paper, the linear differential expression of order $n \ge 2$ with distribution coefficients of various singularity orders is considered. We obtain the associated matrix for the regularization of this expression. Furthermore, we present the new statements of inverse spectral problems that consist in the recovery of differential operators with distribution coefficients from the Weyl matrix on the half-line and on a finite interval. The uniqueness theorems for these inverse problems are proved by developing the method of spectral mappings.

description: The permanent forest estate (PFE) is a tool for maintaining forest areas in perpetuity. The PFE can have several different land-use zones based on different purposes. Here, we evaluated the effectiveness of the PFE in reducing deforestation using country-scale datasets of forest cover change between 2006 and 2017 in Myanmar. We also evaluated the effectiveness of PFE land-use zones such as protected areas (PAs) and production forests in reducing deforestation. The effectiveness was analysed using propensity score matching to minimize the effect of the non-random distribution of the PFE and specific land-use zoning. The results showed that the PFE significantly reduced deforestation compared to non-PFE areas. Within the PFE, both PAs and production forests had lower deforestation than non-PFE. However, both the PFE and non-PFE showed an increased trend of annual deforestation between 2006 and 2017. Production forests also showed an increased trend of annual deforestation although PAs did not. We concluded that the PFE, PAs and production forests are effective in reducing deforestation. However, in Myanmar, further efforts should be undertaken to mitigate the increase of deforestation in the PFE, especially in production forests.

description: Widespread detection of amorphous and crystalline water (H${}_{2}$O) ice in the outer solar system bodies and the interstellar medium has been confirmed over the past decades. Radiative transfer models (RTMs) are used to estimate the grain sizes of H${}_{2}$O ice from near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Wide discrepancies in the estimation of H${}_{2}$O ice grain size on the Saturnian moons (Hansen, 2009), as well as nitrogen (N${}_{2}$) and methane (CH${}_{4}$) ices on Kuiper belt objects have been reported owing to different scattering models used (Emran and Chevrier, 2022). We assess the discrepancy in the grain size estimation of H${}_{2}$O ice at a temperature of 15, 40, 60, and 80 K (amorphous) and 20, 40, 60, and 80 K (crystalline) - relevant to the outer solar system and beyond. We compare the single scattering albedos of H${}_{2}$O ice phases using the Mie theory (Mie, 1908) and Hapke approximation models (Hapke, 1993) from the optical constant at NIR wavelengths (1 - 5 $μ$m). This study reveals that the Hapke approximation models - Hapke slab and internal scattering model (ISM) - predict grain size of the crystalline phase, overall, much better compared to the amorphous phase at temperatures of 15 - 80 K. However, the Hapke slab model estimates much approximate grain sizes, in general, to that of the Mie model's prediction while ISM exhibits a higher uncertainty. We recommend using the Mie model for unknown spectra of outer solar system bodies and beyond in estimating H${}_{2}$O ice grain sizes. While choosing the approximation model for employing RTMs, we recommend using a Hapke slab approximation model over the internal scattering model.

description: A member of the Local Group, IC 1613 is a gas rich irregular dwarf galaxy that appears to have formed stars continuously over the last 10 Gyr and is relatively independent of external influences from other galaxies. This paper aims to study the spatial distribution of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) population in IC 1613 and its metallicity. Using WFCAM on UKIRT, high quality JHK photometry of an area of 0.8 deg^2 centered on IC 1613 was obtained. The data have been used to isolate the C- and M-type components of the AGB population and using their number ratio, C/M, a global mean metallicity has been derived. The metallicity and the TRGB magnitude have been studied as a function of distance from the galactic centre and as a function of azimuthal angle. The tip of the RGB (TRGB) has been found at K_0 = 18.25 +/- 0.15 mag. The colour separation between the C- and M-type components of the AGB population has been located at (J-K) = 1.15 +/- 0.05 mag, giving a global C/M ratio of 0.52 +/- 0.04 and from this an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = -1.26 +/- 0.07 dex has been calculated. The AGB population has been detected out to a radial distance of 4.5 kpc in the de-projected plane of the galaxy. The measured TRGB is consistent with previous measurements and no significant variation is detected in the TRGB or in metallicity either with galactocentric distance or azimuthal angle.

description: The SUSY contributions $Δa_μ$ to muon $g-2$ anomaly can not even reach $3σ$ in ordinary gauge mediated SUSY breaking (GMSB) scenarios because of the strong correlations between the colored sparticle masses and the uncolored EW sparticle masses. An interesting extension to GMSB is the (Extra)Ordinary Gauge Mediation (EOGM), which can relax the correlations between squarks and sleptons with non-universal choices for $N_{eff,3}$ and $N_{eff,2}$. We find that EOGM scenarios with $N_{eff,3}\ll N_{eff,2}$ can explain the muon $g-2$ anomaly within $3σ$ range, however can not explain the new W-boson mass by CDF II. We also propose to extend EOGM with additional adjoint $Σ_8$ and $Σ_3$ messengers at a high scale of order $1.0\times 10^{14}$ GeV, which can shift the gauge coupling unification scale to the string scale. Such EOGM extension scenarios with adjoint messengers could spoil the unwanted gaugino mass ratios and give large SUSY contributions to $Δa_μ$ for $N_{eff,3}\ll N_{eff,2}$, which can explain the muon $g-2$ anomaly up to $1σ$. Besides, because of the large messenger scale of order $1.0\times 10^{14}$ GeV, such scenarios will in general lead to large $|A_t|$ at the EW scale, which can accommodate the 125 GeV Higgs easily and possibly lead to smaller EWFT as well as BGFT. We discuss the possibility to explain the new CDF II W-boson mass in the GMSB-type framework. We find that SUSY contributions can marginally account for the new W-boson mass in the region with sleptons and wino both being light.

description: Photodetachment spectroscopy of OH- and H3O2- anions has been performed in a cryogenic 22-pole radiofrequency multipole trap. Measurements of the detachment cross section as a function of laser frequency near threshold have been analysed. Using this bound-free spectroscopy approach we could demonstrate rotational and vibrational cooling of the trapped anions by the buffer gas in the multipole trap. Below 50 K the OH- rotational temperature shows deviations from the buffer gas temperature, and possible causes for this are discussed. For H3O2- vibrational cooling of the lowest vibrational quantum states into the vibrational ground state is observed. Its photodetachment cross section near threshold is modelled with a Franck-Condon model, with a detachment threshold that is lower, but still in agreement with the expected threshold for this system.

description: is a popular wild edible bamboo in Japan. Productivity (density) of edible culms can be enhanced by human harvesting, but we know little about how long the enhanced productivity is sustained after repeated annual harvesting. Here, demography and productivity of this edible bamboo were examined in field experiments conducted following experimental harvesting of edible bamboo culms for three years. Compared to the productivity of wild edible bamboo culms in the control plots, which were maintained with no human disturbance, productivity in the harvest-treatment plots (harvest conducted annually) was always greater in years following harvesting. In addition, food quality tests for boiled, edible bamboo culms collected from both harvest-treatment and control plots showed that there was little effect of harvesting on food quality of edible bamboo culms but that harvesting might degrade the favorability of food texture of boiled edible bamboo culms. Subsequent surveys demonstrated that the enhanced productivity may occur independently of demography (density) of old culms and that the enhanced productivity effect disappeared two years after the harvest treatment was stopped. These results indicate that repeated, annual harvesting is necessary to promote productivity of edible bamboo culms. These interesting but counterintuitive results can be explained by over-compensatory growth by dwarf bamboo, which respond by producing new photosynthetic organs to compensate for tissue loss by human harvesting. Thus, effective induction of compensatory growth may be a key factor in increasing the production of wild edible plants.

description: We consider the 3-body problem in 3-dimensional spaces of nonzero constant Gaussian curvature and study the relationship between the masses of the Lagrangian relative equilibria, which are orbits that form a rigidly rotating equilateral triangle at all times. There are three classes of Lagrangian relative equilibria in 3-dimensional spaces of constant nonzero curvature: positive elliptic and positive elliptic-elliptic, on 3-spheres, and negative elliptic, on hyperbolic 3-spheres. We prove that all these Lagrangian relative equilibria exist only for equal values of the masses.

Activity and quiescence in galaxies at redshifts 1.4
Creators: name: Contini, M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate 'activity' and 'quiescence' in galaxies at relatively high redshifts by modelling the line(and continuum) spectra of each object. The models account consistently for photoionization and shocks. We claim that the starburst effective temperature, the flux from an AGN, and the shock velocity are critical to activity. The results confirm that two sample galaxies show intense starburst activity with temperatures reaching Ts=2x10^5K and shock velocities Vs> 250 km/s, while for the remaining galaxies of our sample the models show quiescent star formation with Ts< 7x10^4K. A Seyfert 2 like AGN is proposed in one galaxy. The O/H relative abundances derived by the detailed modelling of the spectra are nearly solar for all the sample galaxies, in contrast to those obtained by direct methods.

description: This study investigated the role of cognitive and emotional engagement in refugee entrepreneurship and business sustainability. Based on the Mixed Embeddedness Theory and Kahn’s Theory of Engagement, data were collected via a close-ended questionnaire distributed to 259 refugee-owned businesses in Greater Accra-Ghana. Using Smart PLS SEM (4) for data analysis and path modeling, the findings reveal that refugee entrepreneurship significantly and positively affects business sustainability. Emotional and cognitive engagement partially mediate this relationship, thus influencing the link between refugee entrepreneurship and sustainability. This study highlights cognitive and emotional engagement as pivotal mechanisms enabling refugee entrepreneurs to navigate complex environments and sustain their ventures. By integrating the Mixed Embeddedness Theory and Kahn’s Theory of Engagement, this study offers novel insights into how refugee entrepreneurs overcome socioeconomic barriers to sustain their businesses. This study contributes to research and practice by emphasizing the distinct and combined impact of cognitive and emotional engagement on refugee entrepreneurship and sustainability. It recommends that policymakers design cognitive programs focused on problemsolving, strategic thinking, and innovation, with scenario-based modules to enhance adaptability to market changes.

description: We study the error of linear regression in the face of adversarial attacks. In this framework, an adversary changes the input to the regression model in order to maximize the prediction error. We provide bounds on the prediction error in the presence of an adversary as a function of the parameter norm and the error in the absence of such an adversary. We show how these bounds make it possible to study the adversarial error using analysis from non-adversarial setups. The obtained results shed light on the robustness of overparameterized linear models to adversarial attacks. Adding features might be either a source of additional robustness or brittleness. On the one hand, we use asymptotic results to illustrate how double-descent curves can be obtained for the adversarial error. On the other hand, we derive conditions under which the adversarial error can grow to infinity as more features are added, while at the same time, the test error goes to zero. We show this behavior is caused by the fact that the norm of the parameter vector grows with the number of features. It is also established that $\ell_\infty$ and $\ell_2$-adversarial attacks might behave fundamentally differently due to how the $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$-norms of random projections concentrate. We also show how our reformulation allows for solving adversarial training as a convex optimization problem. This fact is then exploited to establish similarities between adversarial training and parameter-shrinking methods and to study how the training might affect the robustness of the estimated models.

description: Fine root is a significant component in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics in temperate forests. Winter processes affect plant growth and nutrient concentration, however, the effect of reduced snowpack on fine root remains unclear. Here, we conducted snow removal manipulation and investigated the fine root biomass and necromass, dynamics (production, mortality and disappearance) and the C and N concentrations of Quercus crispula (oak) and Sasa nipponica (Sasa), in mineral topsoil (0–10 cm) throughout 1 year. The effect of snow removal on the fine root biomass and necromass was insignificant. The effect of snow removal on the production, mortality and disappearance of fine root, and on total C and N concentrations of fine root biomass and necromass were insignificant. The fine root biomass of oak was significantly greater than that of Sasa, although the fine root necromass of Sasa was significantly greater than that of oak. Fine root necromass showed clear seasonal change, although a seasonal change of fine root biomass was unclear. Total C concentration in the fine root biomass and necromass of oak was significantly higher than that of Sasa. Total N concentration in the fine root necromass in May 2015, when after the snow removal, of Sasa was significantly higher than that of oak, in both snow removal and control plots. Our results showed that the fine root necromass of Sasa supplies more N than that of oak in spring, regardless of snowpack depth.

description: Ensuring a livable city for all within the more-than-human discourse, restoration of urban ecosystems requires careful consideration of both human and non-human needs. However, traditional assessments and therefore most management plans usually fail to include the latter as a core planning requirement. This article presents and explains a 10-step method which simultaneously and actively considers both to identify potential restoration areas within urban ecosystems. To do so, a Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) analysis for the multispecies needs identification is combined with a Multicriteria Spatial Decision Support System (MCSDSS) for the spatial assessment. To validate this method, a case study of Berlin, Germany, an explicitly urban case, is presented. The aim of the study was to evaluate the ecosystem restoration (rewilding) potential of the city's riparian and riverine ecosystems through the enhancement of Eurasian beaver habitats. • Method combining SWOT analysis with MCSDSS for an integrated spatial assessment • Well-suited for multispecies (human and non-human) perspective on urban nature restoration
A numerical study of thermoviscous effects in ultrasound-induced acoustic streaming in microchannels

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: We present a numerical study of thermoviscous effects on the acoustic streaming flow generated by an ultrasound standing-wave resonance in a long straight microfluidic channel containing a Newtonian fluid. These effects enter primarily through the temperature and density dependence of the fluid viscosity. The resulting magnitude of the streaming flow is calculated and characterized numerically, and we find that even for thin acoustic boundary layers, the channel height affects the magnitude of the streaming flow. For the special case of a sufficiently large channel height we have successfully validated our numerics with analytical results from 2011 by Rednikov and Sadhal for a single planar wall. We analyze the time-averaged energy transport in the system and the time-averaged second-order temperature perturbation of the fluid. Finally, we have made three main changes in our previously published numerical scheme to improve the numerical performance: (i) The time-averaged products of first-order variables in the time-averaged second-order equations have been recast as flux densities instead of as body forces. (ii) The order of the finite element basis functions has been increased in an optimal manner. (iii) Based on the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS 1995, 2008, and 2011), we provide accurate polynomial fits in temperature for all relevant thermodynamic and transport parameters of water in the temperature range from 10 C to 50 C.

Sum rules and spectral density flow in QCD and in superconformal theories

description: We discuss the signature of the anomalous breaking of the superconformal symmetry in $\mathcal{N}=1$ super Yang Mills theory and its manifestation in the form of anomaly poles. Moreover, we describe the massive deformations of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ theory and the spectral densities of the corresponding anomaly form factors. These are characterized by spectral densities which flow with the mass deformation and turn the continuum contributions from the two-particle cuts of the intermediate states into poles, with a single sum rule satisfied by each component. The poles can be interpreted as signaling the exchange of a composite axion/dilaton/dilatino (ADD) multiplet in the effective Lagrangian. We conclude that global anomalous currents characterized by a single flow in the perturbative picture always predict the existence of composite interpolating fields.
