description: Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and multi-particle collision (MPC) dynamics are powerful tools to study mesoscale hydrodynamic phenomena accompanied by thermal fluctuations. To understand the advantages of these types of mesoscale simulation techniques in more detail, we propose new two methods, which are intermediate between DPD and MPC -- DPD with a multibody thermostat (DPD-MT), and MPC-Langevin dynamics (MPC-LD). The key features are applying a Langevin thermostat to the relative velocities of pairs of particles or multi-particle collisions, and whether or not to employ collision cells. The viscosity of MPC-LD is derived analytically, in very good agreement with the results of numerical simulations.

Legacy data and cosmological constraints from the angular-size/redshift relation for ultra-compact radio sources

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We have re-examined an ancient VLBI survey of ultra-comact radio sources at 2.29 GHz, which gave fringe amplitudes for 917 such objects with total flux density >0.5 Jy approximately. A number of cosmological investigations based upon this survey have been published in recent years. We have updated the sample with respect to both redshift and radio information, and now have full data for 613 objects, significantly larger than the number (337) used in earlier investigations. The corresponding angular-size/redshift diagram gives Omega_m=0.25+0.04/-0.03, Omega_Λ=0.97+0.09/-0.13 and K=0.22+0.07/-0.10. In combination with supernova data, and a simple-minded approach to CMB data based upon the angular size of the acoustic horizon, our best figures are Omega_m=0.298+0.025/-0.024, Omega_Λ=0.702+0.035/-0.036 and K= 0.000+0.021/-0.019. We have examined simple models of dynamical vacuum energy; the first, based upon a scalar potential V(phi)=omega_C^2 phi^2/2, gives w(0)=-1.00+0.06/-0.00, (dw/dz)_0=+0.00/-0.08; in this case conditions at z=0 require particular attention, to preclude behaviour in which phi becomes singular as z -->infinity. For fixed w limits are w=-1.20+0.15/-0.14. The above error bars are 68% confidence limits.

description: We highlight the importance of eclipsing double-line binaries in our understanding on star formation and evolution. We review the recent discoveries of low-mass and sub-stellar eclipsing binaries belonging to star-forming regions, open clusters, and globular clusters identified by ground-based surveys and space missions with high-resolution spectroscopic follow-up. These discoveries provide benchmark systems with known distances, metallicities, and ages to calibrate masses and radii predicted by state-of-the-art evolutionary models to a few percent. We report their density and discuss current limitations on the accuracy of the physical parameters. We discuss future opportunities and highlight future guidelines to fill gaps in age and metallicity to improve further our knowledge of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs.

description: Reproductive phenology of snakes varies widely among species, likely influenced by biotic and abiotic factors related to seasonality. In Neotropical regions, where seasonal variation in temperature and photoperiod is minimal, the factors regulating the reproductive phenology of snakes remain poorly known, despite the great diversity of species found in this region. We hypothesise that the phenology of tropical aquatic snakes is directly influenced by local precipitation patterns and resulting water levels. We studied for the first time the reproductive cycle of a neotropical aquatic oviparous snake, Helicops pastazae, in a mountain river in the Andean foothills of Colombia. To do so, we sampled 212 snakes from 2013 to 2017 and classified the monthly reproductive stages of the adult snakes. In females we observed follicular development and presence of oviductal eggs, in males we performed histological analyses of testes, kidney, and deferent ducts. Females showed a marked seasonal reproductive cycle, with secondary vitellogenic individuals mainly clustered during the high precipitation months, ovigerous stages found throughout low precipitation months, and with egg-laying occurring from low precipitation to the early dry seasons. Males produced spermatozoa throughout the year indicating year-round reproduction at a population level. We found sexual dimorphism in tail length, with both juvenile and adult males showing significantly longer tails than females, while adult females were larger than males and showed greater midbody width, head length, and head width. The reproductive activity of H. pastazae is highly seasonal in females, driven by regional rainfall patterns, whereas males are reproductive thorough the year, being a permanent resource for females.
A NEW SPECIES OF SAURICHTHYS  (ACTINOPTERYGII) FROM THE MIDDLE TRIASSIC (EARLY LADINIAN) OF THE NORTHERN GRIGNA MOUNTAIN (LOMBARDY, ITALY)

description: A new species of Saurichthys is described. It comes from an Early Ladinian fossil-bearing bed lying in the middle-lower part of the Buchenstein Formation on the Northern Grigna southern slope (Pasturo, Lecco). This new species differs from the several other Middle Triassic species in the remarkable size (more than 130 cm in length), in the presence of a grid structure made by the dorsal elements of its vertebral column, and in the posteriorly enlarging endoskeletal elements of both dorsal and anal fins. Moreover, only two longitudinal scale rows distinguish this taxon; together with the grid structure of the dorsal vertebral column, this character was previously observed only in Norian species (Late Triassic). The early appearance of these features in a Ladinian species opens a new, serious discussion on the evolutionary trends of Saurichthys , which is a very important genus, inhabiting the seas and lakes all over the world from the latest Permian to the end of the Triassic.

description: Uniquely preserved and diverse ostracod faunas from Middle Triassic (Ladinian) beds of the Balaton Highland (Hungary) are described and figured. The preservation is due to silicification of fine texture of the carapaces and valves providing high quality data for taxonomical analyses. The benthic faunas from three localities (Litér, Felsőörs and Nemesvámos) consist of 28 taxa belonging to 12 genera. Four species are new: Polycope arcuatocosta n. sp., P. densoreticulata n. sp., Ptychobairdia tenuiornata n. sp. and Praemacrocypris literense n. sp. Based on morphological and ecological characteristics the studied benthic ostracod assemblages are the latest occurrences of the Thuringian-type assemblages sensu Becker. The dominance of the Thuringian-type elements, smooth bairdiaceans and metacopids indicates an open marine, more than 200 m deep, oligotrophic, bathyal environment with low energy conditions.

description: The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are the largest satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and close enough to allow for a detailed exploration of their structure and formation history. The Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History (SMASH) is a community Dark Energy Camera (DECam) survey of the Magellanic Clouds using $\sim$50 nights to sample over $\sim$2400 deg$^2$ centered on the Clouds at $\sim$20% filling factor (but with contiguous coverage in the central regions) and to depths of $\sim$24th mag in $ugriz$. The primary goals of SMASH are to map out the extended stellar peripheries of the Clouds and uncover their complicated interaction and accretion history as well as to derive spatially-resolved star formation histories of the central regions and create a "movie" of their past star formation. Here we announce the second SMASH public data release (DR2), which contains all 197 fully-calibrated DECam fields including the main body fields in the central regions. The DR2 data are available through the Astro Data Lab hosted by the NSF's National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory. We highlight three science cases that make use of the SMASH DR2 data and will be published in the future: (1) preliminary star formation histories of the LMC; (2) the search for Magellanic star clusters using citizen scientists; and, (3) photometric metallicities of Magellanic Cloud stars using the DECam $u$-band.

description: We report the first VLBI map of the v=0 J=1-0 maser line of 29SiO in the long-period variable star IRC+10011. We have found that this maser emission is composed of multiple spots distributed in an incomplete ring, suggesting that this maser is also amplified tangentially, as already proposed in other SiO circumstellar masers. We present also VLBI maps for the 7 mm 28SiO v=1 and 2 J=1-0 and the 3 mm v=1 J=2-1 lines. The 29SiO masing region appears to be located in a layer in between the 28SiO v=1 J=1-0 and 28SiO v=1 J=2-1 lines. In addition, we confirm that the 86 GHz maser v=1 J=2-1 forms in an outer region of the circumstellar envelope compared to the other 28SiO masers studied. Finally, we discuss the possible implications of the observational results on the SiO maser pumping theory.

description: We present spatially resolved Spitzer imaging of the supergiant shell region of the M81 group dwarf galaxy IC 2574 obtained as part of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey. This region harbors one of the best nearby examples of a kinematically distinct HI shell, with an associated remnant stellar cluster; the shell is initiating sequential star formation as it interacts with the surrounding interstellar medium. This region dominates the infrared luminosity of IC 2574 and is spatially resolved in all Spitzer imaging bands. We study the differences in dust temperature as a function of local environment and compare local star formation rates as inferred from H Alpha and total infrared luminosities. We find that the strong H Alpha sources are associated with regions of warm dust; however, the most luminous infrared and H Alpha sources are not necessarilyco-spatial. The coolest dust is found in the regions farthest from the rim of the shell; these regions show the best agreement between star formation rates derived from H Alpha and from total infrared luminosities (although discrepancies at the factor of 3-4 level still exist). There is considerable variation in the radio-far infrared correlation in different regions surrounding the shell. The low dust content of the region may influence the scatter seen in these relations; these data demonstrate that the expanding shell is dramatically affecting its surroundings by triggering star formation and altering the dust temperature.

The archival appraisal of architecural records
Creators: name: Cheadle, Laura Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Architectural records bear evidence of more than the history of design; because the construction process is linked to the social, political, and financial systems of the society in which the building activity takes place, the records also inevitably give evidence of these systems. This thesis maintains that, despite the undoubted value of these records for a diversity of research purposes, architectural records do not exist in significant numbers in Canadian archives, and argues that archivists have a professional responsibility as the makers and keepers of societal memory to encourage the growth of an adequate body of such records. The Canadian system of public archives traditionally acquires records from both public and private sources in order to accurately reflect significant functions within Canadian society; one would therefore expect to find architectural records well represented in public archival repositories. In order to test this supposition, the holdings of these records in national, regional, and local public archives were researched, using the records of British Columbia architects as a case study. The research results indicate that, if the case of British Columbia is typical of other regions of Canada, the records of private architectural practices are not well represented at any level of the Canadian archival system. A contributing factor to this scarcity is the difficulty archivists experience in appraising these records; a lack of reliable reference materials for analyzing such complex and voluminous records inhibits acquisition activity. A major part of the thesis is a functional analysis of the architectural office as a means of providing a key to the provenance of architectural records. A review and assessment of the archival literature of appraisal follows. The study concludes by summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of the literature, and by proposing a means of encouraging the growth of architectural archives.

description: We present the results from the first two years of the Planet Hunters TESS citizen science project, which identifies planet candidates in the TESS data by engaging members of the general public. Over 22,000 citizen scientists from around the world visually inspected the first 26 Sectors of TESS data in order to help identify transit-like signals. We use a clustering algorithm to combine these classifications into a ranked list of events for each sector, the top 500 of which are then visually vetted by the science team. We assess the detection efficiency of this methodology by comparing our results to the list of TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs) and show that we recover 85 % of the TOIs with radii greater than 4 Earth radii and 51 % of those with radii between 3 and 4 Earth radii. Additionally, we present our 90 most promising planet candidates that had not previously been identified by other teams, 73 of which exhibit only a single transit event in the TESS light curve, and outline our efforts to follow these candidates up using ground-based observatories. Finally, we present noteworthy stellar systems that were identified through the Planet Hunters TESS project.

FIRST RECORD OF FOSSIL CYSTOPHORINAE (CARNIVORA, PHOCIDAE): MIDDLE MIOCENE SEALS FROM THE NORTHERN PARATETHYS

Subjects: Phocidae; Cystophorinae; pachyosteosclerosis; sexual dimorphism; Miocene; Middle Sarmatian; Paratethys; Ukraine

description: Despite a long history of phocid studies, no fossil members of the Subfamily Cystophorinae have ever been described. New fossil material from the Middle Sarmatian (11.2-12.3 Ma) in the Paratethyan Basin of Ukraine allows emended diagnoses and redescriptions to help clarify phylogenetic relationships within the Family Phocidae. After cladistic and morphological analyses of the material, a new genus ( Pachyphoca ) was erected, with two new species of extinct fossil true seals ( Pachyphoca ukrainica and Pachyphoca chapskii ), belonging to the Subfamily Cystophorinae. This new material shows exceptional pachyosteosclerotic bones, which is uncommon for the family as a whole. The new Miocene genus shares numerous characters with several Recent species of Cystophora and Mirounga , providing the first opportunity to study sexual dimorphism of limb bones and mandibles in the Subfamily Cystophorinae. Sexual dimorphism in postcranial bones and mandibles in living members of Cystophorinae is more obvious than in other representatives of true seals. Examination of anatomical traits demonstrated that both new species are more primitive and better adapted for terrestrial locomotion than any living representatives of Cystophorinae. The smaller Pachyphoca ukrainica is more adapted to terrestrial locomotion than its larger relative, P . chapskii . Phylogenetic analysis suggests that seals with 10 incisors (Phocinae) are more primitive than those with 8 (Monachinae), and that Monachinae are more primitive than seals with 6 incisors (Cystophorinae).These findings indicate that the Subfamily Cystophorinae includes not only elephant and hooded seals, but also the two new Middle Sarmatian pachyosteosclerotic seals.

description: Motivated by recent experiments reporting the suppression of the critical current in superconducting Dayem bridges by the application of strong electrostatic fields, in this work we study the impact on the superconducting gap of charge redistribution in response to an applied electric field in thin crystalline metals. By numerically solving the BCS gap equation and the Poisson equation in a fully self-consistent way, we find that by reducing the pairing strength we observe an increased sensitivity of the gap on the applied field, showing sudden rises and falls that are compatible with surface modifications of the local density of states. The effect is washed out by increasing the pairing strength towards the weak-to-moderate coupling limit or by introduction of a weak smearing in the density of states, showing the evolution from a clean crystal to a weakly disordered metal.

Creators: name: Cartis, C

Publisher: name: Science and Technology Facilities Council
Year: 2013

description: An example is presented where Newton's method for unconstrained minimization is applied to find an e-approximate first-order critical point of a smooth function and takes a multiple of e−2 iterations and function evaluations to terminate, which is as many as the steepest descent method in its worst-case. The novel feature of the proposed example is that the objective function has a globally Lipschitz-continuous Hessian, while a previous example published by the same authors only ensured this critical property along the path of iterates, which is impossible to verify a priori.

We show that all chordal graphs G are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay; our proof depends upon showing that the Alexander dual of I(G) is componentwise linear. Our result complements Faridi's theorem that the facet ideal of a simplicial tree is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay and implies Herzog, Hibi, and Zheng's theorem that a chordal graph is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if its edge ideal is unmixed. We also characterize the sequentially Cohen-Macaulay cycles and produce some examples of nonchordal sequentially Cohen-Macaulay graphs.

description: We consider the three-loop scattering amplitudes for the production of a pair of photons in quark-antiquark annihilation in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). We use suitably defined projectors to efficiently calculate all helicity amplitudes. We obtain relatively compact analytic results, that we write in terms of harmonic polylogarithms or, alternatively, multiple polylogarithms of up to depth three. This is the first calculation of a three-loop four-point scattering amplitude in full QCD.

description: We present a revision of the Late Miocene mollusc assemblages from Faro Santa Croce (FSC) in SE Sicily. The FSC-section exposes lower Messinian coastal marine limestones of the Monte Carrubba Formation. Whilst the lowermost part is characterised by in situ occurrences of pen shells ( Atrina fragilis ), the larger part comprises cross-bedded oolites alternating with rock-forming cardiid-venerid coquinas. Due to their superficial similarity with Paratethyan Sarmatian assemblages, the taxa were partly identified as Sarmatian species in previous literature, resulting in a surprising diachronous occurrence of otherwise endemic Paratethyan species in the early Messinian Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, in respect to the ongoing discussion on Mediterranean-Paratethyan faunal exchange during Messinian times, a critical taxonomic re-evaluation of the mollusc assemblage appeared crucial for palaeo(bio)geographic interpretations. The revision of the fauna proofs the absence of any relations with the Sarmatian faunas of the Paratethys Sea; about 20% of the species from the Messinian part of the section are restricted to the Late Miocene and are typical Mediterranean elements. Similarly, no hint to lowered salinities can be deduced from the normal marine stenohaline assemblages. Their co-occurrence in oolitic shoals may rather point to somewhat hypersaline and alkaline settings in a strongly agitated environment.

description: We have developed a low temperature, high resolution magnetic force microscope (MFM) using a quartz tuning fork that can operate in a magnetic field. A tuning fork with a spring constant of 1300 N/m mounted with a commercial MFM cantilever tip was used. We have obtained high resolution images of the stray magnetic fields exerted from grains with a spatial resolution of 15 nm and force resolution of 2 pN at 4.2 K. Tuning fork based magnetic force microscopes have the potential to be used at millikelvin temperatures due to their low power dissipation and high force sensitivity.

description: Planetary Nebulae (PNe) abundance patterns have long been used to note signatures of nuclear processing and to trace the distribution of metals throughout galaxies. We present abundance gradients and heavy element ratios based upon newly acquired spectrophotometry of a sample of >120 Galactic PNe. This new data set is extracted from spectra that extend from 3600 - 9600 A, allowing the use of [S III] features at 9069 and 9532 A. Since a significant portion of S in PNe resides in S+2 and higher ionization stages, including these strong features should improve the extrapolation from observed ion abundances to total element abundance. S is believed to be precluded from enhancement and depletion across the range of PNe progenitor masses, making it an alternate metallicity tracer to the canonical oxygen. If S can be reliably determined in PNe, its stability in intermediate mass stars makes it a valuable tool to probe the natal conditions as well as the evolution of PNe progenitors. This is a continuation of our Type II PNe work, the impetus being to compile a relatively large set of line strengths and abundances with internally consistent observation, reduction, measurement, and abundance determination, minimizing systematic effects that come from compiling various data sets.

description: In this follow-up article to [Shadow poles in the alternative parametrization of R-matrix theory, Ducru (2020)], we establish new results on scattering matrix pole expansions for complex wavenumbers in R-matrix theory. In the past, two branches of theoretical formalisms emerged to describe the scattering matrix in nuclear physics: R-matrix theory, and pole expansions. The two have been quite isolated from one another. Recently, our study of Brune's alternative parametrization of R-matrix theory has shown the need to extend the scattering matrix (and the underlying R-matrix operators) to complex wavenumbers. Two competing ways of doing so have emerged from a historical ambiguity in the definitions of the shift $\boldsymbol{S}$ and penetration $\boldsymbol{P}$ functions: the legacy Lane \& Thomas "force closure" approach, versus analytic continuation (which is the standard in mathematical physics). The R-matrix community has not yet come to a consensus as to which to adopt for evaluations in standard nuclear data libraries, such as ENDF. In this article, we argue in favor of analytic continuation of R-matrix operators. We bridge R-matrix theory with the Humblet-Rosenfeld pole expansions, and unveil new properties of the Siegert-Humblet radioactive poles and widths, including their invariance properties to changes in channel radii $a_c$. We then show that analytic continuation of R-matrix operators preserves important physical and mathematical properties of the scattering matrix -- cancelling spurious poles and guaranteeing generalized unitarity -- while still being able to close channels below thresholds.

The flow of a very concentrated slurry in a parallel-plate device: influence of gravity

description: We investigate, both experimentally and theoretically, the fow and structure of a slurry when sheared between 2 horizontal plates. The slurry, otherwise called a "wet granular material", is made of non-Brownian particles immersed in a viscous fluid. The particles are heavier than the fluid, consequently, gravity influences the structure and flow profiles of the sheared material. Experiments are carried out in a plane Couette device, with a model slurry composed of approximately monodisperse spherical PMMA particles in oil, at high average solid concentration (about 58%). Optical observation reveals a typical 2-phase configuration, with a fluidized layer in contact with the upper plate and on top of an amorphous solid phase. We provide data on velocity profiles, wall-slip and shear stress versus the average shear rate. To interpret the data, we propose a model for the ideal case of infinite horizontal flat plates. The model, of mean field type, is based on local constitutive equations for the tangential and normal components of the stress tensor and on expressions relating the material viscometric coefficients (the shear viscosity eta and the normal viscosity psi) with the local concentration (phi) and the local shear rate. 1-,2- and 3-phase configurations are predicted, with non linear flow and concentration profiles. We conclude that the model equations correctly describe the experimental data, provided that appropriate forms are chosen for the divergence of eta and psi near the packing concentration (phi_max), namely a (phi_max-phi)^-1 singularity.

Transit innovations in British Columbia: 1988-98 integration, intermodal linkages and institutional co-operation
Creators: name: Fisher, Ian Randell
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: BC Transit, a provincial Crown Corporation operates and administers conventional, fixed-route public transit services in British Columbia's major metropolitan centres of Vancouver and Victoria and in 24 smaller communities across the province. BC Transit service is available to 76% of the province's residents. BC Transit has been successful in providing innovative services that respond to community needs. Some of these innovations include the introduction of lift-equipped and low-floor buses to improve accessibility, the use of bike racks and lockers to integrate transit with cycling, the integration of school bus and transit services to build transit ridership and improve efficiency, and the targeting of the post-secondary student market with special services and discounted fares. The introduction of innovative services to the non-metropolitan areas of the province has been facilitated by BC Transit's Municipal Systems Program and the three-way partnerships between BC Transit, local governments, and operating companies that it provides. Much of the planning for this program is done by BC Transit staff in Victoria, allowing for the easy transfer of experience between systems. A key area for future transit innovations in B.C. is in the creation of a provincewide public transportation system with integrated services and information. This would involve the creation of regional transit services in areas where development is coalescing into continuous corridors, rather than in discrete settlements. Although BC Transit has been successful in introducing a range of innovative services around the province, questions remain as to whether BC Transit's general service provision strategy is as cost-effective and accountable as possible. The current funding and governance arrangements in the province have created a situation that is weak on local accountability and which may perpetuate the provision of uneconomic services. Further research is needed to fully address this issue.
THE SHELL ULTRASTRUCTURE OF THE GENUS  GLYCYMERIS  DA COSTA, 1778: A COMPARISON BETWEEN FOSSIL AND RECENT SPECIMENS

description: New data about the shell ultrastructure of species of the genus Glycymeris are obtained through a comparison between the fabric of recent specimens from Brittany (France) and fossil specimens collected from the Lower Pleistocene Castell’Arquato Formation cropping out along the Arda River in Western Emilia (Italy). This comparison, made using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), results in a strong similarity between the two fabrics, highlighting the good preservation of fossil ones. Both fossil and recent specimens show a well preserved outer simple crossed lamellar layer and an inner irregular and cone complex crossed lamellar layer. The inner and outer layers are separated by an irregular simple prismatic pallial myostracum. These mineralized layers are penetrated by parallel, not ramified and not bifurcated cylindrical tubules, which represent a peculiar character of the Arcoida shells. This analysis provides a more complete picture of Glycymeris shell ultrastructure. It shows that Glycymeris shell fabric has not changed for the last 2 million years and that the fossil specimens are pristine. Furthermore new data on the pattern and origin of tubules are reported, allowing to conclude that it is unlikely that they have a deterrence function for boring organisms. They may instead function to increase the volume of the organic content of the shell at lower metabolic cost without increasing the shell surface.

description: A fragmentary hemi-mandible of a rhinocerotid was collected during the end of the 19th century at Monte delle Piche (Rome). Morphological features, such as a short paralophid in the molar, the presence of a mesio-lingual cingulum in the teeth and a well-developed upturned I/2, indicate that the specimen is an Aceratheriinae. In addition to other taxa (e.g. Chilotherium, Aceratherium and Hoploaceratherium ), the hemi-mandible shows morphological traits suggestive of the genus Acerorhinus . The latter is well-documented in fossiliferous localities of South-eastern Europe, Turkey and China, chronologically related with the Land Mammal Zones MN 9-12. Unfortunately, the specimen is reworked in Early Pleistocene marine deposits.Hence, it cannot indicate the time at whichthe genus reached Italy.

Grotte Chauvet 2 – Ardèche

description: In the field of cultural heritage, the use of partial or complete copies provides visitors with the chance to see and experience objects and places that are hard to or impossible to access. In the case of painted caves, where copies are made with great concern for perfection in order to render images and convey the sense that visitors would have had in front of the originals, questions of authenticity and the cultural experience come to the fore. What processes are employed by designers in order to give the feeling of authenticity? To what extent do staging devices induce visitors to have an authentic experience of what is made cultural heritage? These issues of the construction of authenticity and the heritage experience will be studied through the analysis of the replica of the Chauvet - Pont d’Arc Cave, located a short distance from the original in South Ardèche (France). After having discussed the importance of authenticity and our experience of it in terms of cultural heritage, this article will analyze the ways in which this fabrication is constructed and received by observing to what extent visitors are willing to play along with this game of “half-believing” (Lambert, 2013) and enchantment proposed by its designers (Winking, 1998, 2001). In fine, these considerations surpass the sole field of painted caves and lead us to a reformulation of the place of experience in the construction of cultural heritage (Tornatore, 2019).

description: We investigate matter effects on highly relativistic neutrinos. The self-energy of neutrinos is determined in an electron or neutrino background taking into account resonance and finite width effects of the gauge bosons. We find minor changes compared to the formerly used formula for the propagator function and large deviations of the effective width from the decay width of the gauge bosons considering higher moments of the electron or neutrino distribution function.

description: The audio-video based emotion recognition aims to classify a given video into basic emotions. In this paper, we describe our approaches in EmotiW 2019, which mainly explores emotion features and feature fusion strategies for audio and visual modality. For emotion features, we explore audio feature with both speech-spectrogram and Log Mel-spectrogram and evaluate several facial features with different CNN models and different emotion pretrained strategies. For fusion strategies, we explore intra-modal and cross-modal fusion methods, such as designing attention mechanisms to highlights important emotion feature, exploring feature concatenation and factorized bilinear pooling (FBP) for cross-modal feature fusion. With careful evaluation, we obtain 65.5% on the AFEW validation set and 62.48% on the test set and rank third in the challenge.
