description: Gravitational waves from binary black holes that are gravitationally lensed can be distorted by small microlenses along the line of sight. Microlenses with masses of a few tens of solar masses, and that are close to a critical curve in the lens plane, can introduce a time delay of a few millisecond. Such time delay would result in distinctive interference patterns in the gravitational wave that can be measured with current experiments such as LIGO/Virgo. We consider the particular case of primordial black holes with masses between 5 and 50 solar masses acting as microlenses. We study the effect of a population of primordial black holes constituting a fraction of the dark matter, and contained in a macrolens (galaxy or cluster), over gravitational waves that are being lensed by the combined effect of the macrolens plus microlenses. We find that at the typical magnifications expected for observed GW events, the fraction of dark matter in the form of compact microlenses, such as primordial black holes, can be constrained to percent level. Similarly, if a small percentage of the dark matter is in the form of microlenses with a few tens of solar masses, at sufficiently large magnification factors, all gravitational waves will show interference effects. These effects could have an impact on the inferred parameters. The effect is more important for macroimages with negative parity, which usually arrive after the macroimages with positive parity.

description: Sur le plan théorique, cette étude apporte plusieurs contributions significatives au domaine de la QVCT et de la digitalisation. Tout d'abord, elle propose un cadre conceptuel intégratif qui synthétise les différentes dimensions de l'impact de la digitalisation sur la QVCT. Ce cadre offre une base solide pour de futures recherches en identifiant les principaux facteurs et mécanismes qui influencent cette relation complexe.

De plus, notre analyse approfondie des effets positifs et négatifs de la digitalisation sur la QVCT contribue à une compréhension plus nuancée et équilibrée de ce phénomène. En mettant en lumière les paradoxes et les tensions inhérents à la transformation digitale, nous enrichissons le débat théorique sur les implications de la technologie dans le monde du travail.

Notre étude contribue également à la littérature sur le changement organisationnel en soulignant l'importance d'une approche sociotechnique dans la mise en œuvre des technologies numériques. Nous mettons en évidence la nécessité d'aligner les aspects techniques de la digitalisation avec les dimensions sociales et humaines de l'organisation pour optimiser la QVCT.

Sur le plan pratique, notre recherche offre des insights précieux pour les gestionnaires, les professionnels des ressources humaines et les décideurs organisationnels. Nous proposons des stratégies concrètes pour améliorer la QVCT dans un contexte de digitalisation croissante, telles que :

-       L'adoption d'une approche participative dans la conception et la mise en œuvre des initiatives de digitalisation, impliquant activement les employés à toutes les étapes du processus.

-       La mise en place de programmes de formation et de développement des compétences adaptés aux besoins spécifiques de chaque organisation et de ses employés.

-       L'élaboration de politiques de travail flexibles qui tirent parti des avantages de la technologie tout en respectant les besoins de déconnexion et d'équilibre vie professionnelle-vie personnelle.

-       La création d'espaces de travail hybrides qui favorisent à la fois la collaboration numérique et les interactions en personne, reconnaissant l'importance du lien social dans le bien-être au travail.

-       L'implémentation de systèmes de suivi et d'évaluation régulière de l'impact de la digitalisation sur la QVCT, permettant des ajustements rapides et informés des stratégies organisationnelles.

Ces contributions pratiques fournissent un guide actionnable pour les organisations cherchant à naviguer efficacement dans la transformation digitale tout en préservant et améliorant la QVCT de leurs employés.

description: We use Bloch oscillations in a horizontal moving standing wave to transfer a large number of photon recoils to atoms with a high efficiency (99.5% per cycle). By measuring the photon recoil of $^{87}Rb$, using velocity selective Raman transitions to select a subrecoil velocity class and to measure the final accelerated velocity class, we have determined $h/m_{Rb}$ with a relative precision of 0.4 ppm. To exploit the high momentum transfer efficiency of our method, we are developing a vertical standing wave set-up. This will allow us to measure $h/m_{Rb}$ better than $10^{-8}$ and hence the fine structure constant $α$ with an uncertainty close to the most accurate value coming from the ($g-2$) determination.

description: We construct a finite element discretization and time-stepping scheme for the incompressible Euler equations with variable density that exactly preserves total mass, total squared density, total energy, and pointwise incompressibility. The method uses Raviart-Thomas or Brezzi-Douglas-Marini finite elements to approximate the velocity and discontinuous polynomials to approximate the density and pressure. To achieve exact preservation of the aforementioned conserved quantities, we exploit a seldom-used weak formulation of the momentum equation and a second-order time-stepping scheme that is similar, but not identical, to the midpoint rule. We also describe and prove stability of an upwinded version of the method. We present numerical examples that demonstrate the order of convergence of the method.
Constraining the Magnetic Effects on HI Rotation Curves and the Need for Dark Halos

description: The density profiles of dark halos are usually inferred from the rotation curves of disk galaxies based on the assumption that the gas is a good tracer of the gravitational potential of the galaxies. Some authors have suggested that magnetic pinching forces could alter significantly the rotation curves of spiral galaxies. In contrast to other studies which have concentrated in the vertical structure of the disk, here we focus on the problem of magnetic confinement in the radial direction to bound the magnetic effects on the HI rotation curves. It is shown that azimuthal magnetic fields can hardly speed up the HI disk of galaxies as a whole. In fact, based on virial constraints we show that the contribution of galactic magnetic fields to the rotation curves cannot be larger than ~10 km/s at the outermost point of HI detection, if the galaxies did not contain dark matter at all, and up to 20 km/s in the conventional dark halo scenario. The procedure to estimate the maximum effect of magnetic fields is general and applicable to any particular galaxy disk. The inclusion of the surface terms, namely the intergalactic (thermal, magnetic or ram) pressure, does not change our conclusions. Other problems related with the magnetic alternative to dark halos are highlighted. The relevance of magnetic fields in the cuspy problem of dark halos is also discussed.

description: I evaluated the impact of Prosopis invasion and clearing on ecological structure, function and agricultural productivity in heavily grazed Nama Karoo rangeland on two sheep farms near the town of Beaufort West in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. My aims were to (1) determine the effects of invasion and clearing on rangeland vegetation composition, diversity (alien and indigenous species richness) and structure (alien and indigenous species cover), soil vegetation cover (plant canopy and basal cover) and agricultural productivity (grazing capacity), (2) describe the vegetation processes that underlay the invasion and clearing impacts and (3) evaluate the success of clearing in facilitating unaided restoration of ecological structure, function and agricultural productivity in formerly invaded rangeland. I hypothesised that invasion would significantly change rangeland vegetation composition and structure, leading to greater alien species richness and cover and lower indigenous species richness and cover while clearing would lead to lower alien species diversity and cover and greater indigenous species richness and cover. In addition I hypothesized that invasion would reduce rangeland plant canopy and basal cover and grazing capacity while clearing would substantially increase them. Finally I predicted that vegetation composition, alien and indigenous species cover and richness, plant canopy and basal cover and grazing capacity would revert to pre-invasion status and levels within four to six years of clearing.

description: To characterize the generic behavior of open quantum systems, we consider random, purely dissipative Liouvillians with a notion of locality. We find that the positivity of the map implies a sharp separation of the relaxation timescales according to the locality of observables. Specifically, we analyze a spin-1/2 system of size $\ell$ with up to $n$-body Lindblad operators, which are $n$-local in the complexity-theory sense. Without locality ($n=\ell$), the complex Liouvillian spectrum densely covers a "lemon"-shaped support, in agreement with recent findings [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 140403;arXiv:1905.02155].

description: Species' seasonal behaviour is of paramount importance in understanding community functioning and dynamics. Recently, plant phenology has further gained significance as a reliable indicator of climate change impacts. Despite the importance of understanding plant dynamics, there are relatively few plant phenological records for the sub-Antarctic region, and where records exist they are often not extensive. Sub-Antarctic Marion Island, typical of Southern Ocean Islands, offers a useful setting for addressing these knowledge gaps. This study documented the vegetative and reproductive phenologies (or aggregate phenological patterns) of twelve indigenous and three alien vascular plant species on the island. The phenological differences among the species and distinct seasonal groupings (e.g. early, intermediate and late species) were examined. I also investigated the phenological differences among the indigenous and alien plant species. Furthermore, the onset of selected reproductive phenophases from the current records was compared with historical records for determining the extent of climate change-related alterations in phenology. Phenological data were collected fortnightly on five, 5 m x 5 m permanent plots per species (except for a few species) for a full growing season. Thus the sample size is n = 5 for all plant species except for Crassula moschata (n = 4), Juncus effusus (n=4) and Rumex acetosella (n=1). Sites of the same species were separated by at least 500 m except for the alien plant, Juncus effusus, where all four known populations were selected despite two of these populations being < 500 m apart. This study indicated that Marion Island plants grow throughout the year with no major peaks except in Azorella selago and Acaena magellanica which showed winter dormancy. However, reproduction in most plant species predominately occurred in spring and summer months. Pringlea antiscorbutica and Poa cookii were the first two species to set flower buds in September while most species dispersed their seeds in summer except for Agrostis magellanica and Crassula moschata which dispersed in early autumn. Distinct from most temperate systems, the reproductive seasonality displayed by Marion Island plant species is explained more by daylength than by temperature, perhaps due to the region's typical thermal aseasonality. Interestingly, many cooccurring species and/or clades across the Falkland, Kerguelen, Macquarie and South Georgia Islands also showed similar flowering onset date to the Marion Island plants, further confirming their daylength sensitivity. However...

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a low energy expansion of the Kramers-Heisenberg formula for atomic hydrogen in terms of $(ω/ω_l)$, where $ω_l$ and $ω$ are the angular frequencies corresponding to the Lyman limit and the incident radiation, respectively. The leading term is proportional to $(ω/ω_l)^4$, which admits a well-known classical interpretation. With higher order terms we achieve accuracy with errors less than 4 % of the scattering cross sections in the region $ω/ω_l\le 0.6$. In the neighboring region around Ly$α$ ($ω/ω_l >0.6$), we also present an explicit expansion of the Kramers-Heisenberg formula in terms of $Δω\equiv (ω-ω_{Lyα})/ω_{Lyα}$. The accuracy with errors less than 4 % can be attained for $ω/ω_l \ge 0.6$ with the expansion up to the fifth order of $Δω$. We expect that these formulae will be usefully applied to the radiative transfer in high neutral column density regions, including the Gunn-Peterson absorption troughs and Rayleigh scattering in the atmospheres of giants.

description: Abstract: In this paper, we present an application of distributed fiber optic sensor (DFOS) technology to measure the strain of a continuous flight auger (CFA) test pile with a central reinforcement bar bundle, during a static load test carried out in London. Being distributed in nature, DFOS gives much more information about the pile performance as compared to traditional point sensors, such as identifying cross-sectional irregularities or other anomalies. The strain profiles recorded along the depth of the piles from the DFOS were used to calculate pile deformation (contraction), shaft friction, and tip resistance under various loads. Based on this pile load test, a finite element (FE) analysis was performed using a one-dimensional nonlinear load-transfer model. Calibrated by the shaft friction and tip resistance derived from the monitored data, the FE model was able to simulate the pile and soil performance during the load testing with good accuracy. The effect of the reinforcement cage and central reinforcement bar bundle were investigated, and it was found that the addition of a reinforcement cage would reduce the pile settlement by up to 20%.

description: We study bundle gerbes on manifolds $M$ that carry an action of a connected Lie group $G$. We show that these data give rise to a smooth 2-group extension of $G$ by the smooth 2-group of hermitean line bundles on $M$. This 2-group extension classifies equivariant structures on the bundle gerbe, and its non-triviality poses an obstruction to the existence of equivariant structures. We present a new global approach to the parallel transport of a bundle gerbe with connection, and use it to give an alternative construction of this smooth 2-group extension in terms of a homotopy-coherent version of the associated bundle construction. We apply our results to give new descriptions of nonassociative magnetic translations in quantum mechanics and the Faddeev-Mickelsson-Shatashvili anomaly in quantum field theory. We also propose a definition of smooth string 2-group models within our geometric framework. Starting from a basic gerbe on a compact simply-connected Lie group $G$, we prove that the smooth 2-group extensions of $G$ arising from our construction provide new models for the string group of $G$.

Gravitational radiation from chiral string cusps

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We calculate the gravitational radiation from a cusp of the chiral cosmic strings as a function of the current on the string in the limit of small values of the current. The smoothing of the cosmic string cusp due to the presence of the superconducting current on the string leads to the different behavior of the gravitational radiation from the cusp as compared with the non-superconducting (ordinary) string. The difference between the gravitational energy radiation from the chiral cusp and the ordinary one is proportional to the value of the current on the string. It is shown that there is a high-frequency cutoff in the spectrum of the gravitational radiation from the chiral string. The frequency cutoff depends on the value of the string current. This effect is crucial for the detection of gravitation wave bursts from cosmic strings: the rather large current on the string would lower the amplitude of the incoming signal.

description: Astronomers working with faint targets will benefit greatly from improved image quality on current and planned ground-based telescopes. At present, most adaptive optic systems are targeted at the highest resolution with bright guide stars. We demonstrate a significantly new approach to measuring low-order wavefront errors by using a pupil-plane curvature wavefront sensor design. By making low order wavefront corrections we can deliver significant improvements in image resolution in the visible on telescopes in the 2.5m to 8.2m range on good astronomical sites. As a minimum the angular resolution will be improved by a factor of 2.5 to 3 under any reasonable conditions and, with further correction and image selection, even sharper images may be obtained routinely. We re-examine many of the assumptions about what may be achieved with faint reference stars to achieve this performance. We show how our new design of curvature wavefront sensor combined with wavefront fitting routines based on radon transforms allow this performance to be achieved routinely. Simulations over a wide range of conditions match the performance already achieved in runs with earlier versions of the hardware described. Reference stars significantly fainter than I 17m may be used routinely to produce images with a near diffraction limited core and halo much smaller than that delivered by natural seeing.

description: We analyze the cumulative data from the latest SNO, KamLAND and other solar neutrino experiments in the standard scenario of three oscillating active neutrinos. We determine the solar neutrino oscillation parameters and obtain new bounds on $θ_x$. We also place constraints on the fraction of oscillating solar neutrinos that transform to sterile neutrinos with the $^8$B flux normalization left free. Concomitantly, we assess the sensitivity of future data from the SNO and KamLAND experiments to $θ_x$ and to the sterile neutrino content of the solar flux.

description: The Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability is commonly found in many astrophysical, laboratory, and space plasmas. It could mix plasma components of different properties and convert dynamic fluid energy from large scale structure to smaller ones. In this study, we combined the ground-based New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST) and the Solar Dynamic Observatories (SDO) / Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) to observe the plasma dynamics associated with active region 12673 on 09 September 2017. In this multi-temperature view, we identified three adjacent layers of plasma flowing at different speeds, and detected KH instabilities at their interfaces. We could unambiguously track a typical KH vortex and measure its motion. We found that the speed of this vortex suddenly tripled at a certain stage. This acceleration was synchronized with the enhancements in emission measure and average intensity of the 193 Å data. We interpret this as evidence that KH instability triggers plasma heating. The intriguing feature in this event is that the KH instability observed in the NVST channel was nearly complementary to that in the AIA 193 Å. Such a multi-thermal energy exchange process is easily overlooked in previous studies, as the cold plasma component is usually not visible in the extreme ultraviolet channels that are only sensitive to high temperature plasma emissions. Our finding indicates that embedded cold layers could interact with hot plasma as invisible matters. We speculate that this process could occur at a variety of length scales and could contribute to plasma heating.

Probing in-medium vector meson decays by double-differential di-electron spectra in heavy-ion collisions at SIS energies

description: Within a transport code simulation for heavy-ion collisions at bombarding energies around 1 AGeV, we demonstrate that double-differential di-electron spectra with suitable kinematical cuts are useful to isolate (i) the $ρ$ meson peak even in case of strong broadening, and (ii) the in-medium $ω$ decay contribution. The expected in-medium modifications of the vector meson spectral densities can thus be probed in this energy range via the di-electron channel.

description: We prove that the scattering matrix at a fixed quasi--energy determines uniquely a time--periodic potential that decays exponentially at infinity. We consider potentials that for each fixed time belong to $L^{3/2}$ in space. The exponent 3/2 is critical for the singularities of the potential in space. For this singular class of potentials the result is new even in the time--independent case, where it was only known for bounded exponentially decreasing potentials.

description: The GD-1 stream is one of the longest and coldest stellar streams discovered to date, and one of the best objects for constraining the dark matter properties of the Milky Way. Using data from {\it Gaia} DR2 we study the proper motions, distance, morphology and density of the stream to uncover small scale perturbations. The proper motion cleaned data shows a clear distance gradient across the stream, ranging from 7 to 12 kpc. However, unlike earlier studies that found a continuous gradient, we uncover a distance minimum at $φ_{1}\approx$-50 deg, after which the distance increases again. We can reliably trace the stream between -85$

description: We study the family of Hamiltonians which corresponds to the adjacency operators on a percolation graph. We characterise the set of energies which are almost surely eigenvalues with finitely supported eigenfunctions. This set of energies is a dense subset of the algebraic integers. The integrated density of states has discontinuities precisely at this set of energies. We show that the convergence of the integrated densities of states of finite box Hamiltonians to the one on the whole space holds even at the points of discontinuity. For this we use an equicontinuity-from-the-right argument. The same statements hold for the restriction of the Hamiltonian to the infinite cluster. In this case we prove that the integrated density of states can be constructed using local data only. Finally we study some mixed Anderson-Quantum percolation models and establish results in the spirit of Wegner, and Delyon and Souillard.

Pairing correlations and resonant states in the relativistic mean field theory

description: We present a simple scheme for taking into account the resonant continuum coupling in the Relativistic Mean Field- BCS (RMF-BCS) calculations. In this scheme, applied before in non-relativistic calculations, the effect of the resonant continuum on pairing correlations is introduced through the scattering wave functions located in the region of the resonant states. These states are found by solving the relativistic mean field equations with scattering-type boundary conditions for continuum spectrum. The calculations are done for the neutron-rich Zr isotopes. It is shown that the sudden increase of the neutron radii close to the neutron drip line, the so-called giant halo, is determined by a few resonant states close to the continuum threshold.

Ensuring Liveness Properties of Distributed Systems: Open Problems

description: Often fairness assumptions need to be made in order to establish liveness properties of distributed systems, but in many situations they lead to false conclusions. This document presents a research agenda aiming at laying the foundations of a theory of concurrency that is equipped to ensure liveness properties of distributed systems without making fairness assumptions. This theory will encompass process algebra, temporal logic and semantic models. The agenda also includes the development of a methodology and tools that allow successful application of this theory to the specification, analysis and verification of realistic distributed systems. Contemporary process algebras and temporal logics fail to make distinctions between systems of which one has a crucial liveness property and the other does not, at least when assuming justness, a strong progress property, but not assuming fairness. Setting up an alternative framework involves giving up on identifying strongly bisimilar systems, inventing new induction principles, developing new axiomatic bases for process algebras and new congruence formats for operational semantics, and creating matching treatments of time and probability. Even simple systems like fair schedulers or mutual exclusion protocols cannot be accurately specified in standard process algebras (or Petri nets) in the absence of fairness assumptions. Hence the work involves the study of adequate language or model extensions, and their expressive power.
