description: We investigate the properties of triply-periodic Skyrme crystals in the generalized Skyrme model $\mathcal{L}_6 + \mathcal{L}_4 + \mathcal{L}_2+ \mathcal{L}_0$ with higher-derivative terms up to sixth order. Three different symmetry breaking potential terms $\mathcal{L}_0$ are considered, the generalized pion mass term, double vacuum potential and mixed potential. Various scenario of phase transitions from the low density phase to the high density phase are examined for different choices of the parameters of the model. In particular, we investigated limiting behavior of the Skyrme crystals in the truncated submodel without the Skyrme term $\mathcal{L}_4$ and/or without the $\mathcal{L}_2$ term. We show that the Skyrme crystal may exist in the pure $\mathcal{L}_4$ and $\mathcal{L}_6$ models and investigated the phase structure of these solutions. Considering the near-BPS submodel, we found that there are indications of the phase transition from a low density quasi-liquid phase to the high density symmetric phase of the Skyrmionic matter.

description: We use the LDA+U method to study the possibility of exciton condensation in perovskites of transition metals with $d^6$ electronic configuration such as LaCoO$_3$. For realistic interaction parameters we find several distinct solutions exhibiting spin-triplet exciton condensate, which gives rise to a local spin density distribution while the ordered moments are vanishingly small. Rhombohedral distortion from the ideal cubic structure suppresses the ordered state, contrary to the spin-orbit coupling which enhances the excitonic condensation energy. We explain the trends observed in the numerical simulations with the help of a simplified strong-coupling model. Our results indicate that LaCoO$_3$ is close to the excitonic instability and suggest ways to make it order.

description: Nanotechnology can offer different solutions for enhancing the therapeutic efficiency of polyphenols, a class of natural products widely explored for a potential applicability for the treatment of different diseases including cancer. While possessing interesting anticancer properties, polyphenols suffer from low stability and unfavorable pharmacokinetics, and thus suitable carriers are required when planning a therapeutic protocol. In the present review, an overview of the different strategies based on polymeric materials is presented, with the aim to highlight the strengths and the weaknesses of each approach and offer a platform of ideas for researchers working in the field.

description: We show that the application of circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation on the surface of a Weyl semi-metal can generate states at that surface. These states can be characterized by their surface momentum. The Floquet eigenvalues of these states come in complex conjugate pairs rather than being equal to $\pm 1$. If the amplitude of the radiation is small, we find some unusual bulk-boundary relations: the Floquet eigenvalues of the surface states lie at the extrema of the Floquet eigenvalues of the bulk system, and the peaks of the Fourier transforms of the surface state wave functions lie at the momenta where the bulk Floquet eigenvalues have extrema. For the case of zero surface momentum, we can analytically derive scaling relations between the decay length of the surface states and the amplitude and penetration length of the radiation. For topological insulators, we again find that circularly polarized radiation can generate states on the surfaces; these states have much larger decay lengths than the surface states which are present even in the absence of radiation. Finally, we show that radiation can generate surface states for trivial insulators also.

title: Accelerated Lifetime Testing of Off-Line LED Drivers
Creators: name: Keil, Ferdinand
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2023

description: It took just ten years for LEDs to become the most successful lighting technology by market share. Their high energy efficiency and long lifetime make them the first choice in many lighting applications. However, failures of LED based luminaires can still be observed. If public lighting installations such as street lights fail it can even make the news. Previous research has shown that the driver is the culprit in most of these cases. This work tries to answer how long modern drivers can survive in a given environmental condition, which external factors and driver properties affect the lifetime and what the lifetime limiting failure modes are. An accelerated lifetime study with a total of 75 tested devices is conducted and its results are analysed. Four different environmental conditions are selected for the tests, namely dry heat at 85 °C and damp heat at 65 °C and 90 % relative humidity as well as 75 °C / 75 % and 85 °C / 85 %. During testing 39 failures are observed. A first analysis focuses on the degradation of aluminium electrolytic capacitors in dry heat. It can be shown that the parametric changes are negligible. This is followed by a forensic failure mode analysis that successfully uncovers the failure modes of 27 failed devices. Dielectric breakdown of the PCB and IC package defects are determined to be the most common failure causes. It is also demonstrated that MOVs are at risk of failing in certain circuit configurations. Two physical accelerated failure time models get fitted for three drivers with complete datasets. Plotting the resulting lifetime model for a range of temperature/humidity combinations shows that these drivers will likely outlast the lifetime guaranteed by the manufacturer in their respective data sheets. An extension is proposed to apply the models to three drivers whose datasets contain right-censored values. It can be demonstrated that these drivers will meet the guaranteed lifetime as well. The Cox Proportional Hazards model, a model from the field of survival analysis, is applied to the data from the 85 °C / 85 % condition to identify driver properties that affect the lifetime. The three best fitting models are selected and their parameters are whether a driver's output current is programmable, its maximum output power in Watt and which PCB substrate was used for the circuit assembly. Based on the previous results a list of recommendations for future off-line driver designs is compiled. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that modern off-line LED drivers can reach the manufacturer specified lifetimes based on the results of the accelerated life study. Drivers fail if subjected to high levels of humidity. Choosing FR-4 as the PCB substrate can significantly lower a driver's risk of failure. If it fails, the most common failure modes are dielectric breakdown of the PCB and a defect of an IC package.

description: Physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) is widely needed in many fields, such as industrial manipulation, home services, and medical rehabilitation, and puts higher demands on the safety of robots. Due to the uncertainty of the working environment, the pHRI may receive unexpected impact interference, which affects the safety and smoothness of the task execution. The commonly used linear admittance control (L-AC) can cope well with high-frequency small-amplitude noise, but for medium-frequency high-intensity impact, the effect is not as good. Inspired by the solid-liquid phase change nature of shear-thickening fluid, we propose a Shear-thickening Fluid Control (SFC) that can achieve both an easy human-robot collaboration and resistance to impact interference. The SFC's stability, passivity, and phase trajectory are analyzed in detail, the frequency and time domain properties are quantified, and parameter constraints in discrete control and coupled stability conditions are provided. We conducted simulations to compare the frequency and time domain characteristics of L-AC, nonlinear admittance controller (N-AC), and SFC, and validated their dynamic properties. In real-world experiments, we compared the performance of L-AC, N-AC, and SFC in both fixed and mobile manipulators. L-AC exhibits weak resistance to impact. N-AC can resist moderate impacts but not high-intensity ones, and may exhibit self-excited oscillations. In contrast, SFC demonstrated superior impact resistance and maintained stable collaboration, enhancing comfort in cooperative water delivery tasks. Additionally, a case study was conducted in a factory setting, further affirming the SFC's capability in facilitating human-robot collaborative manipulation and underscoring its potential in industrial applications.

description: We have measured the clustering of galaxies around active galactic nuclei (AGN) for which single-epoch virial masses of the super-massive black hole (SMBH) are available to investigate the relation between the large scale environment of AGNs and the evolution of SMBHs. The AGN samples used in this work were derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) observations and the galaxy samples were from 240~deg$^{2}$ S15b data of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP). The investigated redshift range is 0.6--3.0, and the masses of the SMBHs lie in the range $10^{7.5}$--$10^{10}$~M$_{\odot}$. The absolute magnitude of the galaxy samples reaches to $M_{λ310}$ $\sim$ $-$18 at rest frame wavelength 310~nm for the low-redshift end of the samples. More than 70\% of the galaxies in the analysis are blue. We found a significant dependence of the cross-correlation length on redshift, which primarily reflects the brightness dependence of the galaxy clustering. At the lowest redshifts the cross-correlation length increases from 7~$h^{-1}$~Mpc around $M_{λ310}$$ = $$-19$~mag to $>$10~$h^{-1}$~Mpc beyond $M_{λ310}$$ = $$-20$~mag. No significant dependence of the cross-correlation length on BH mass was found for whole galaxy samples dominated by blue galaxies, while there was an indication of BH mass dependence in the cross-correlation with red galaxies. These results provides a picture of the environment of AGNs studied in this paper being enriched with blue starforming galaxies, and a fraction of the galaxies are being evolved to red galaxies along with the evolution of SMBHs in that system.

description: We present the first azimuthally differential measurements of the pion source size relative to the second harmonic event plane in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon pair of $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV. The measurements have been performed in the centrality range 0-50% and for pion pair transverse momenta $0.2 < k_{\rm T} < 0.7$ GeV/$c$. We find that the $R_{\rm side}$ and $R_{\rm out}$ radii, which characterize the pion source size in the directions perpendicular and parallel to the pion transverse momentum, oscillate out of phase, similar to what was observed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The final-state source eccentricity, estimated via $R_{\rm side}$ oscillations, is found to be significantly smaller than the initial-state source eccentricity, but remains positive; indicating that even after a stronger expansion in the in-plane direction, the pion source at the freeze-out is still elongated in the out-of-plane direction. The 3+1D hydrodynamic calculations are in qualitative agreement with observed centrality and transverse momentum $R_{\rm side}$ oscillations, but systematically underestimate the oscillation magnitude.

description: Merging binary neutron stars (BNSs) represent the ultimate targets for multimessenger astronomy, being among the most promising sources of gravitational waves (GWs), and, at the same time, likely accompanied by a variety of electromagnetic counterparts across the entire spectrum, possibly including short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) and kilonova/macronova transients. Numerical relativity simulations play a central role in the study of these events. In particular, given the importance of magnetic fields, various aspects of this investigation require general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD). So far, most GRMHD simulations focused the attention on BNS mergers leading to the formation of a hypermassive NS, which, in turn, collapses within few tens of ms into a black hole surrounded by an accretion disk. However, recent observations suggest that a significant fraction of these systems could form a long-lived NS remnant, which will either collapse on much longer timescales or remain indefinitely stable. Despite the profound implications for the evolution and the emission properties of the system, a detailed investigation of this alternative evolution channel is still missing. Here, we follow this direction and present a first detailed GRMHD study of BNS mergers forming a long-lived NS. We consider magnetized binaries with different mass ratios and equations of state and analyze the structure of the NS remnants, the rotation profiles, the accretion disks, the evolution and amplification of magnetic fields, and the ejection of matter. Moreover, we discuss the connection with the central engine of SGRBs and provide order-of-magnitude estimates for the kilonova/macronova signal. Finally, we study the GW emission, with particular attention to the post-merger phase.

description: The Böllstein Odenwald is forming a large anticline of mainly pre-Devonian rock in the Mid-German Crystalline Zone (MCGZ). The contact between core and schist envelope of the anticline is well exposed at Weichberg quarry. Metasedimentary rocks of the schist envelope are intruded by granodioritic sills of a Silurian magmatic arc, showing at least two folding phases: Recumbent tight isoclinal folds are overprinted by upright gentle folds. A pegmatite dike, intruding at 411 ±2 Ma (U-Pb analyses on zircon) into the schist envelope rocks, crosscuts perpendicular to the main foliation. It shows only a weak schistosity related to the isoclinal folding, which therefore must have been active in Lower Devonian (>411 ±2 Ma; Lochkovian/Pragian) after the Silurian intrusion of the granodiorite sills (U-Pb on zircon ca. 423 Ma, Dörr et al. in press). The Lower Devonian deformation of the East Odenwald probably results from the collision of the MGCZ with the NW boundary of the Saxothuringian Zone. The core is represented by a (meta)granite intruding into the schist envelope at 404 ±2 Ma (U-Pb method on zircon). A deformed fold directly at the contact between metagranite and metasediments and dikes terminated at the contact point to eastward directed tectonic movements between core and schist envelope after 404 ±2 Ma, probably at 375 Ma (U-Pb on zircon, Todt et al. 1995). These results are compared to other units occupying a similar position in the European Variscides and help to clarify the position of the East Odenwald during Variscan orogeny.

description: Fairy tales are timeless stories that introduce people to the literary, social and cultural heritage of diverse cultures and evolve to reflect contemporary social culture. Today, as the field of folklore studies expands and recognizes the contribution of the internet and virtual reality to the preservation, dissemination and creation of forms of folk culture, indigenous traditional stories and fairy tales are adapted for mainstream media platforms and enter into a complex media space in order to stimulate children's cultural literacy. The fairy tales, therefore, are not a simplified representation of reality but an engaging metaphorical convergence of symbols, diversity, social expectations, transformed into computer games. In this context, this article focuses on contemporary transformations of the Grimm brothers' folk tales, which are particularly popular and beloved by children and adults, into electronic role-playing, adventure and action games. Drawing on Children's Literature, Folklore, Game Design and Serious Games’ theories, this article examines the relationship between literature, folk culture and narrative and technology. We examine video games that are extensions of popular Grimm brothers' fairy tales and, particularly, the way in which folk narratives create new collectivities that chart a new course for the evolution of the folk tradition.

description: Chapter 9 in High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) : Preliminary Design Report. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is one of the largest scientific instruments ever built. Since opening up a new energy frontier for exploration in 2010, it has gathered a global user community of about 7,000 scientists working in fundamental particle physics and the physics of hadronic matter at extreme temperature and density. To sustain and extend its discovery potential, the LHC will need a major upgrade in the 2020s. This will increase its luminosity (rate of collisions) by a factor of five beyond the original design value and the integrated luminosity (total collisions created) by a factor ten. The LHC is already a highly complex and exquisitely optimised machine so this upgrade must be carefully conceived and will require about ten years to implement. The new configuration, known as High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), will rely on a number of key innovations that push accelerator technology beyond its present limits. Among these are cutting-edge 11-12 tesla superconducting magnets, compact superconducting cavities for beam rotation with ultra-precise phase control, new technology and physical processes for beam collimation and 300 metre-long high-power superconducting links with negligible energy dissipation. The present document describes the technologies and components that will be used to realise the project and is intended to serve as the basis for the detailed engineering design of HL-LHC.

description: The adaptations of Pommerat, Grumberg, Akapko and Galea capitalize on contemporary dramaturgical trends and renew the narrative of the precarious and fragile woman, positively reinterpreting the exit from the family/familiar towards the danger of life: their little red riding hoods live in single-parent families, or at grandma's, they don't wear the red cape, they are Jewish, or daughters of tired and lonely mothers, they are not afraid of the forest or the wolf (but a little more from their mom), they ask with courage, they speak with freedom, they take responsibility and action, and are not easily fooled, while wolves find it difficult to stand in the role of evil and some people turn out to be more dangerous than them, contributing to a new lesson that goes beyond moral teaching. Through our article, we will show how these four rewritings, linked to the tale, enrich the collective unconscious with new representations, bringing to light contemporary political issues, crucial for the transition to adulthood for young and old alike.

description: Les œuvres de la littérature orale/folklorique sont, en raison de leur oralité, en perpétuelle évolution et changement. Transférés dans une langue écrite, les « textes » oraux sont à nouveau alimentés par de nouvelles idées et de nouveaux médias et continuent ainsi à changer. Les contes de fées et les légendes s’adaptent aux nouvelles formes pour de nombreuses raisons, telles que: a) leur audience d'origine se modifie, par ex. les contes de fées qui s’adressaient à un public adulte à nos jours s’adressent aux enfants et par conséquent les manières stylistiques se modifient, b) le cadre idéologique – ce que John Stephens et Robyn McCallum appellent metaethic – change, ainsi que de nouvelles idées entrent pour remodeler l'intrigue, les personnages, la personne du narrateur, etc. et c) les nouveaux médias et la technologie créent différentes formes de l’écriture littéraire. Dans le présent article, nous allons examiner les métamorphoses d'une légende médiévale bien connue, celle de Basile Digenis Acritas, en explorant comment elle se présente dans trois livres modernes pour enfants, les deux livres illustrés, écrits par les Kalokyris et par Poulos, et un roman fantastique historique de Hatzopoulos.

This is indicated in the global popularity of recent Chinese animated films adapted from Chinese folktale, such as Xiyouji zhi dasheng guilai (Monkey King: Hero is Back) (2015), Nezha zhi motong jiangshi (Ne Zha) (2019) and Baishe: Yuanqi (White Snake) (2019) in the global market. But while these films offer international society a new window to access Chinese culture, they also pose challenges presented by their innate Chinese elements which significantly differ from the West’s conventional presentation of Chinese culture. Since most Chinese animations are adapted from Chinese folktale which contains rich cultural elements that are context-dependant and exclusive to Chinese communities, intercultural interaction that happened within an animated film can include adaptation of the story from the original source to the script; intersemiotics translation from script to the audiovisual production; and interlingual translation which occurs in bilingual subtitles. Looking to the performance of Chinese animated films both at home and abroad, this paper aims to evaluate the above translation-related activities and the success of a Chinese animated film. Special attention will be paid to the extent to which cultural translation plays a role in the making of these animated films.

description: We study the excited $B$ mesons' contributions to the coupled-channel effects under the framework of ${}^3P_0$ model for the bottomonium. Contrary to what has been widely accepted, the contributions of $P$ wave $B$ mesons are generally the largest and this result is independent of the potential parameters to some extent. We also push the calculation beyond $B(1P)$ and carefully analyze the contributions of $B(2S)$. A form factor is a key ingredient to suppress the contributions of $B(2S)$ for low lying bottomonia. However, this suppression mechanism is not efficient for highly excited bottomonia such as $Υ(5S)$ and $Υ(6S)$. We give explanations why this difficulty happens to ${}^3P_0$ model and suggest analyzing flux-tube breaking model for the full calculation of coupled-channel effects.

description: Chapter 15 in High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) : Preliminary Design Report. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is one of the largest scientific instruments ever built. Since opening up a new energy frontier for exploration in 2010, it has gathered a global user community of about 7,000 scientists working in fundamental particle physics and the physics of hadronic matter at extreme temperature and density. To sustain and extend its discovery potential, the LHC will need a major upgrade in the 2020s. This will increase its luminosity (rate of collisions) by a factor of five beyond the original design value and the integrated luminosity (total collisions created) by a factor ten. The LHC is already a highly complex and exquisitely optimised machine so this upgrade must be carefully conceived and will require about ten years to implement. The new configuration, known as High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), will rely on a number of key innovations that push accelerator technology beyond its present limits. Among these are cutting-edge 11-12 tesla superconducting magnets, compact superconducting cavities for beam rotation with ultra-precise phase control, new technology and physical processes for beam collimation and 300 metre-long high-power superconducting links with negligible energy dissipation. The present document describes the technologies and components that will be used to realise the project and is intended to serve as the basis for the detailed engineering design of HL-LHC.

description: Literary animals appear very often in traditional fairy tales and modern literary texts and animal character's proper names have – almost every time – a deliberate meaning. Τheir translation usually interacts with common words and, in the case of Children's Literature probably with images in illustrated books or animated films. Literary cats in The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly by Luis Sepulveda in the original Spanish edition La Historia de una gaviota y del gato que le enseñó a volar(1996) and its translation in Modern Greek edition Η ιστορία ενός γάτου που έμαθε σ’ένα γλάρο να πετάει (2008), translated by Achilleas Kyriakidis, are literary animals created by words in two different languages and could be analyzed from a Comparative Children’s Literature perspective. The article will provide an interdisciplinary Literary Animal Studies and Comparative Children’s Literature theoretical and methodological approach to how interlingual literary cat character proper names translation from Spanish to Modern Greek could establish a young reader's inter-semiotic conception of the character of a literary cat.

description: Gene drives have the potential to rapidly replace a harmful wild-type allele with a gene drive allele engineered to have desired functionalities. However, an accidental or premature release of a gene drive construct to the natural environment could damage an ecosystem irreversibly. Thus, it is important to understand the spatiotemporal consequences of the super-Mendelian population genetics prior to potential applications. Here, we employ a reaction-diffusion model for sexually reproducing diploid organisms to study how a locally introduced gene drive allele spreads to replace the wild-type allele, even though it possesses a selective disadvantage $s>0$. Using methods developed by N. Barton and collaborators, we show that socially responsible gene drives require $0.5
Translating Feminism in Children’s Folk Tales – A Comparative Analysis of Two English Translations of Meng Jiangnü

description: Children’s literature adapted or originating from folk tales serve as a unique access to the core social concepts of a country. This paper approaches feminist translation and adaptation of children’s literature through examining two English translations of a Chinese folktale, Meng Jiangnü for children at the reading age of 5 to 14 years. The illustrative case studies attempt to compare translations of some cultural constructs encompassing the naming practices, the “ku” (mourning) custom and the calabash (fertility) custom, that expose, foreground or impact gender and feminist consciousness, and demonstrate the basics and categories on the grounds of which the texts are established. Since the article embraces all the gender issues on social and cultural grounds, it analyses the texts in a descriptive manner and proposes four translational strategies including removing, weakening, preserving and strengthening. Through close observation of the adaptations or translations of folk tales for children, we are able to perceive the (un)conscious feminizing process by the translator, the rewriter or the editor though they are reluctant to be labelled as “feminists”.

description: In the past decade, the proliferation of modern telecommunication technologies, including 5G, and the widespread adoption of the Internet-of-things (IoT) have led to an unprecedented surge in data generation and transmission. This surge has created an escalating demand for advanced signal processing capabilities. Microwave photonic (MWP) processors offer a promising solution to satisfy this unprecedented demand for data processing by capitalising on the high bandwidth and low latency achievable by optical systems. In this work, we introduce an integrated MWP processing unit for all-optical RF filtering using elemental antimony. We exploit the crystallisation dynamics of antimony to demonstrate a photonic leaky integrator, which is configured to operate as a first-order low-pass filter with a bandwidth of 300 kHz and ultra-compact footprint of 16 × 16 μm2. We experimentally demonstrate the implementation of such a filter as an envelope detector to demodulate an amplitude-modulated signal. Finally, a discussion on achieving bandwidth tunability is presented.

First-principles modeling of the Invar effect in Fe65Ni35 by the spin-wave method

description: Thermal lattice expansion of the Invar Fe65Ni35 alloy is investigated in first-principles calculations using the spin-wave method, which is generalized here for the ferromagnetic state with short range order. It is shown that magnetic short-range order effects make substantial contribution to the equilibrium lattice constant and cannot be neglected in the accurate ab initio modeling of the thermal expansion in Fe-Ni alloys. We also demonstrate that at high temperatures, close and above the magnetic transition, magnetic entropy associated with transverse and longitudinal spin fluctuations yields a noticeable contribution to the equilibrium lattice constant. The obtained theoretical results for the temperature dependent lattice constant are in semiquantitative agreement with the experimental data apart from the region close the magnetic transition.

description: Let $(u_n)_{n \geq 0}$ be a nondegenerate linear recurrence of integers, and let $\mathcal{A}$ be the set of positive integers $n$ such that $u_n$ and $n$ are relatively prime. We prove that $\mathcal{A}$ has an asymptotic density, and that this density is positive unless $(u_n / n)_{n \geq 1}$ is a linear recurrence.

description: The use of fairytales as learning resources in the teaching of the French language in elementary education has a number of significant benefits on an educational, pedagogical, and cultural level, at the same time. This paper focuses on the utilization of fairytales as a text that can trigger production of written speech, and the realization of a workshop on creative writing in the FFL class. At the outset, we attempt to define what creative writing actually is and we go on to highlight the benefits of its implementation in primary schools. Next, we present the results and conclusions of exploratory empirical research conducted during the school year 2015–2016 involving sixth-grade students of three primary schools in the town of Serres. Consequently, the study data under analysis comprise the contents of the teacher logbook, the creations of the students before the phase of collective writing, and the answers to the questionnaire given to the students after their participation in the creative writing activities.
