description: In this paper we present and analyse determinations of effective temperatures of planet-hosting stars using infrared (IR) photometry. One of our goals is the comparison with spectroscopic temperatures to evaluate the presence of systematic effects that could alter the determination of metal abundances. To estimate the stellar temperatures we have followed a new approach based on fitting the observed 2MASS IR photometry with accurately calibrated synthetic photometry. Special care has been put in evaluating all sources of possible errors and incorporating them in the analysis. A comparison of our temperature determinations with spectroscopic temperatures published by different groups reveals the presence of no systematic trends and a scatter compatible with the quoted uncertainties of 0.5-1.3%. This mutual agreement strengthens the results of both the spectroscopic and IR photometry analyses. Comparisons with other photometric temperature calibrations, generally with poorer performances, are also presented. In addition, the method employed of fitting IR photometry naturally yields determinations of the stellar semi-angular diameters, which, when combined with the distances, results in estimations of the stellar radii with remarkable accuracies of ~2-4%. A comparison with the only star in the sample with an empirically determined radius (HD 209458 -- from transit photometry) indicates excellent agreement.

A playful city in the cards : sharing power in game design by extending the card metaphor

description: To democratize the power of games for smart cities, we are refining Hive Mechanic, an open-source game engine for embedding play with text messages, city data streams, and the Internet of Things (IoT). City-specific games have the potential to affect social issues, including to address regional economics and health disparities that vary by zip code. However, collaboration in design is notoriously difficult - and programming skills are often lacking in urban planners, artists, and ordinary residents. Rather than propose a consumer app for mobile phones, this project investigates the potential of coordinating play from a neighborhood server. More importantly, the authoring tool seeks to democratize design by aligning the use of print and digital "cards"in the design process to express feedback loops and interactive sequences without requiring any traditional software coding experience. We argue that for game design in particular, paper prototyping is especially important - and that authoring tools can expand participation by embracing a "card metaphor"to extend the power of paper prototyping into online authoring tools. This work in progress is a nine-month case study of using Hive Mechanic, including for public art, crowd-sourced mapping, and a transmedia scavenger hunt.

description: The mean spherical approximation (MSA) can be solved semi-analytically for the Gaussian core model (GCM) and yields - rather surprisingly - exactly the same expressions for the energy and the virial equations. Taking advantage of this semi-analytical framework, we apply the concept of the self-consistent Ornstein-Zernike approximation (SCOZA) to the GCM: a state-dependent function K is introduced in the MSA closure relation which is determined to enforce thermodynamic consistency between the compressibility route and either the virial or energy route. Utilizing standard thermodynamic relations this leads to two different differential equations for the function K that have to be solved numerically. Generalizing our concept we propose an integro-differential-equation based formulation of the SCOZA which, although requiring a fully numerical solution, has the advantage that it is no longer restricted to the availability of an analytic solution for a particular system. Rather it can be used for an arbitrary potential and even in combination with other closure relations, such as a modification of the hypernetted chain approximation.

Landau-Zener-Stückelberg Interferometry in dissipative Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics

description: We study Landau-Zener-Stückelberg (LZS) interferometry in a cQED architecture under effects of dissipation. To be specific, we consider a superconducting qubit driven by a dc+ac signal and coupled to a transmission line resonator, but our results are valid for general qubit-resonators devices. To take the environment into account, we assume that the resonator is coupled to an ohmic quantum bath. The Floquet-Born-Markov master equation is numerically solved to obtain the dynamics of the system for arbitrary amplitude of the drive and different time scales. We unveil important differences in the resonant patterns between the Strong Coupling and Ultra Strong Coupling regimes in the qubit-resonator interaction, which are mainly due to the magnitude of photonic gaps in the energy spectrum of the system. We identify in the LZS patterns the contribution of the qubit gap and the photonic gaps, showing that for large driving amplitudes the patterns present a weaving structure due to the combined intercrossing of the different gaps contributions.

description: In the last decade, the LEP and SLD experiments played a central role in the study of B hadrons (hadrons containing a b quark). New B hadrons have been observed ($B^0_s$, Λ_b$, $Ξ_b$ and $B^{**}$) and their production and decay properties have been measured. In this paper we will focus on measurements of the CKM matrix elements: $|V_{cb}|$, $|V_{ub}|$, $|V_{td}|$ and $|V_{ts}|$. We will show how all these measurements, together with theoretical developments, have significantly improved our knowledge on the flavour sector of the Standard Model.

description: Recent years have seen the emergence of programmable metasurfaces, where the user can modify the EM response of the device via software. Adding reconfigurability to the already powerful EM capabilities of metasurfaces opens the door to novel cyber-physical systems with exciting applications in domains such as holography, cloaking, or wireless communications. This paradigm shift, however, comes with a non-trivial increase of the complexity of the metasurfaces that will pose new reliability challenges stemming from the need to integrate tuning, control, and communication resources to implement the programmability. While metasurfaces will become prone to failures, little is known about their tolerance to errors. To bridge this gap, this paper examines the reliability problem in programmable metamaterials by proposing an error model and a general methodology for error analysis. To derive the error model, the causes and potential impact of faults are identified and discussed qualitatively. The methodology is presented and exemplified for beam steering, which constitutes a relevant case for programmable metasurfaces. Results show that performance degradation depends on the type of error and its spatial distribution and that, in beam steering, error rates over 20% can still be considered acceptable.
The Discharge Crucible Method: update on experimental design, measurements, and orifice wetting
Creators: Henein, H.
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The physicochemical properties, viscosity, density, and surface tension, are critical properties of liquid metals and alloys. These properties are needed for thermodynamics, solidification modelling, and materials properties databases. The discharge crucible method (DC) developed in 2003 has been used to measure and report these properties for a wide range of liquid metals and alloys, including Sb, Sn, Zn, Al, Al–Cu, Sb–Sn, Sn–Ag, and AZ91D. The results are compared with published data and models that are proposed to predict these property values. This method is based on a mathematical formulation that predicts the velocity of a stream draining from an orifice. The viscous losses are calculated using a discharge coefficient equation, and the gas–liquid surface tension is determined using the Young–Laplace overpressure induced in the jet. The model and experiments will be described along with the effect of nozzle shapes on the distribution of forces in the DC method, including the effect of wetting of the orifice. The aim is to define the optimal nozzle design for a good distribution of forces throughout a draining experiment.

The limit of coinciding points is modified compared to ordinary field theory in a suitable way which allows for the definition of so-called regularized field monomials as interaction terms. Employing these in the Hamiltonian formalism results in an ultraviolet finite S-matrix.

description: We derive a duality-symmetric action for type IIA D=10 supergravity by the Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction of the duality-symmetric action for D=11 supergravity with the 3-form and 6-form gauge field. We then double the bosonic fields arising as a result of the Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction and add mass terms to embrace the Romans's version, so that in its final form the bosonic part of the action contains the dilaton, NS-NS and RR potentials of the standard type IIA supergravity as well as their duals, the corresponding duality relations are deduced directly from the action. We discuss the relation of our approach to the doubled field formalism by Cremmer, Julia, Lu and Pope, complete the extension of this construction to the supersymmetric case and lift it onto the level of the proper duality-symmetric action. We also find a new dual formulation of type IIA D=10 supergravity in which the NS-NS two-form potential is replaced with its six-form counterpart. A truncation of this dual model produces the Chamseddine's version of N=1, D=10 supergravity.

Existential transformational game design : harnessing the "pyschomagic" of symbolic enactment
Creators: name: Rusch, Doris C.
name: Phelps, Andrew M.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This paper explores indexical symbolic enactment as a way to promote authenticity and inner balance through digital games. Drawing on research from cognitive anthropology, neurobiology, and psychology, the following presents an argument for why and how indexical symbolic enactment can impact us on a deep, unconscious level and contribute to personal transformation. It identifies four high-level guidelines that can inform existential transformative game design: (1) ritual theming (i.e., liberation, transformation, and commemoration/celebration); (2) metaphorical approach; (3) contextual mechanisms that promote a readiness for change and processing; and (4) psychological resonance. It then uses these guidelines as an analytical lens for a case study on the game Papo & Yo (Minority Media Inc., 2012). This analysis shows how indexical symbolic enactment can contribute to a game’s transformative potential and examines missed opportunities when design decisions emphasize gameplay considerations rather than symbolic congruency and psychological resonance.

description: We calculate the fluctuation correction to the normal state conductivity in the vicinity of a quantum phase transition from a superconducting to normal state, induced by applying a magnetic field parallel to a dirty thin film or a nanowire with thickness smaller than the superconducting coherence length. We find that at zero temperature, where the correction comes purely from quantum fluctuations, the positive Aslamazov-Larkin contribution, the negative density of states contribution, and the Maki-Thompson interference contribution, are all of the same order and the total correction is negative. Further we show that based on how the quantum critical point is approached, there are three regimes that show different temperature and field dependencies which should be experimentally accessible.

description: The theoretical and empirical implications of information effects on estimates of existence values (EV) are analyzed using a Household Production model. If households operate in perfect information markets, current practices of providing "policy relevant" or "complete" information to _respondents to Contingent Valuation (CV) surveys may produce larger benefit estimates than should be used in damage assessment and benefit-cost analysis. However, the probable failure of information markets provides a rationale for the provision of information. An empirically applicable rule is derived that determines the optimal level of information use when estimating existence values. Adopting this methodology would provide an improved decision rule, reinforce the validity and credibility of CVM results, and promote the acceptance of EV and other nonuse values as a desirable component of benefit-cost analysis.

description: We suggest a general relation between the position of the cosmic microwave background temperature power spectrum peaks and the inflationary slow roll parameter $ε$. This relation is based on interpreting the variable setting the position of the peaks as the quantum distance between the end of inflation and recombination. This distance is determined by the primordial cosmological Fisher information introduced in arXiv:2002.04294. The observational constraints set by cosmic microwave background temperature data lead to a very stringent prediction for the value of the tensor-to-scalar ratio: $r=0.01 \pm 0.002$. Future polarization data of the cosmic microwave background should be able to measure this signal and corroborate or discard our model.

description: The traditional view on the cerebellum is that it controls motor behavior. Although recent work has revealed that the cerebellum supports also nonmotor functions such as cognition and affect, only during the last 5 years it has become evident that the cerebellum also plays an important social role. This role is evident in social cognition based on interpreting goal-directed actions through the movements of individuals (social “mirroring”) which is very close to its original role in motor learning, as well as in social understanding of other individuals’ mental state, such as their intentions, beliefs, past behaviors, future aspirations, and personality traits (social “mentalizing”). Most of this mentalizing role is supported by the posterior cerebellum (e.g., Crus I and II). The most dominant hypothesis is that the cerebellum assists in learning and understanding social action sequences, and so facilitates social cognition by supporting optimal predictions about imminent or future social interaction and cooperation. This consensus paper brings together experts from different fields to discuss recent efforts in understanding the role of the cerebellum in social cognition, and the understanding of social behaviors and mental states by others, its effect on clinical impairments such as cerebellar ataxia and autism spectrum disorder, and how the cerebellum can become a potential target for noninvasive brain stimulation as a therapeutic intervention. We report on the most recent empirical findings and techniques for understanding and manipulating cerebellar circuits in humans. Cerebellar circuitry appears now as a key structure to elucidate social interactions.

In the current note we present direct evidence of charge-orbital ordering in this material using heat capacity measurements. Our heat capacity measurements indicate a clear transition consistent with prior observation. We find two main transitions, one at temperature $T_{_H}=310-314$ K, and other at $T_{_A}=143$ K. In addition, we may also conclude that there is a strong electron-phonon coupling in this material.

title: Feasibility Analysis of Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for Rapid Bactericidal Assessment
Creators: name: Yan, Yutao
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: In the current study, we investigated the feasibility of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy as a rapid diagnosis tool for bacterial infection by taking the example of bactericidal effect of ampicillin on Staphylococcus aureus at different doses-and time- manners. The overall data follow similar but distinct pattern with wavelength. Taking closer look at the wavelength between 600-1800 cm-1, we found that FTIR can easily differentiate wild type and ampicillin-treated S. aureus even at low concentration (0.25ug/ml) of ampicillin. Particularly, in section of 1010-1070 cm-1, the optical density (OD) vs. dosage and period of ampicillin demonstrated correlation of linear regression demonstrated by the regression models. Principal component analysis can group the OD values into two distinguishable classes, further subclass into 7 different groups based on their culture period. As a conclusion, FTIR can discriminate the slightly differentiated OD values of S.aureus treated with ampicillin in a time and dose dependent manner.

They are concave below, as in the caudals of that genus, but the sides of the centra are also deeply excavated. In the anterior caudals, this excavation extends nearly or quite through the centra, a thin septum usually remaining. In the median caudals, a deep cavity on each side exists, as shown in figures 1 and 2, on page 86. On the distal caudals, the lateral cavity has nearly or quite disappeared. All the caudal vertebrae are proportionally shorter than in Diplodocus, and their chevrons have no anterior projection, as in that genus. The remains on which the present description is based are from the Atlantosaurus beds of Dakota, about two hundred miles further north than this well-marked horizon has hitherto been recognized.

description: I review the current knowledge of high-energy emission from extragalctic jets. First I discuss gamma-ray emission from blazars, which provides us numerous precious information on the innermost portions of the relativistic jets. I describe the constraints on the dynamics of the jet from the subpc to the pc scale provided by recent VLBI studies of TeV sources, together with the modelling of the emission from the blazar jet. Finally I discuss high energy emission from large scale jets as seen by Chandra and I report on the expected gamma-ray emission from large-scale regions of jets.

description: This paper studies. the effects of irrigation non uniformity on nitrate leaching and profits for different levels of applied water. Controlling water application as irrigation uniformity increases can lead to reductions in nitrate leaching and sustain relative profits. Water conservation incentives are more effective than direct nitrate reduction incentives.

description: The traditional view on the cerebellum is that it controls motor behavior. Although recent work has revealed that the cerebellum supports also nonmotor functions such as cognition and affect, only during the last 5 years it has become evident that the cerebellum also plays an important social role. This role is evident in social cognition based on interpreting goal-directed actions through the movements of individuals (social “mirroring”) which is very close to its original role in motor learning, as well as in social understanding of other individuals’ mental state, such as their intentions, beliefs, past behaviors, future aspirations, and personality traits (social “mentalizing”). Most of this mentalizing role is supported by the posterior cerebellum (e.g., Crus I and II). The most dominant hypothesis is that the cerebellum assists in learning and understanding social action sequences, and so facilitates social cognition by supporting optimal predictions about imminent or future social interaction and cooperation. This consensus paper brings together experts from different fields to discuss recent efforts in understanding the role of the cerebellum in social cognition, and the understanding of social behaviors and mental states by others, its effect on clinical impairments such as cerebellar ataxia and autism spectrum disorder, and how the cerebellum can become a potential target for noninvasive brain stimulation as a therapeutic intervention. We report on the most recent empirical findings and techniques for understanding and manipulating cerebellar circuits in humans. Cerebellar circuitry appears now as a key structure to elucidate social interactions.
EFFECTS OF FARM PROGRAMS ON GAINS FROM CANADA-U.S. WHEAT TRADE

description: This paper explores the implications of domestic distortions arising from farm programs for the size and distribution of gains from bilateral trade liberalization and illustrates the ideas using the case of Canada-U.S. trade in durum wheat following the 1989 Canadian-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (CUSTA). The CUSTA resulted in increased sales of Canadian grain to the United States and the escalating trade resulted in a legal trade dispute. The conflict centered on the trade effects of domestic farm policy, because Canada and the United States have significantly different farm programs for major field crops. This paper argues that while the existence of farm programs will modify the size and distribution of the gains from trade, dissimilar farm programs may still permit increased trade volume and mutual benefits from freer trade. While disparate programs make implementing a free trade agreement difficult, we demonstrate that in the presence of existing farm programs, both countries can still gain from freer trade. In the case of durum wheat, Canada is likely to gain because the U.S. export subsidy program raises U.S. domestic prices and this makes it attractive for Canada to sell into the United States, rather than to third markets. The United States is likely to gain, too, in part because its export subsidy program is less costly than it would be in the absence of imports from Canada.

description: The D0 experiment faces many challenges enabling access to large datasets for physicists on four continents. The new concepts for distributed large scale computing implemented in D0 aim for an optimal use of the available computing resources while minimising the person-power needed for operation. The real live test of these concepts is of special interest for the LHC Computing GRID, LCG, which follows a similar strategy.

SPATIAL COLOR CHANNELS AND THEIR ROLE IN COLOR CONSTANCY

description: Color always occupies a region of space, typically attached to an object, a light, or a surface; however, most of our models of color vision and approaches to understanding color perception treat color as an abstract quality void of a spatial dimension. In this dissertation, I explore the utility of considering separate types of color systems based on spatial information in the environment. In Chapter 1, I review of the study of color perception as it relates to space. Chapter 2 explores the existence of a luminance versus luminance-contrast marker in the cortex using the contrast asynchrony stimulus. Observers were shown disks modulating from bright to dark at low frequencies on either dark, midgray, and bright backgrounds while steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) were recorded. A luminance-driven signal would elicit equivalent SSVEPs across all backgrounds, but a luminance-contrast signal would differ depending on the background. I found that SSVEP amplitudes and phase relations were indicative of a contrast-driven signal. The results suggest that early cortical signals, at least from V1, are driven by contrast, rather than luminance, levels. In Chapter 3, I investigate the efficacy of color separation based on spatial scale as it relates to the phenomenon of color constancy. In a series of three studies (the first on a plain background, the second on a Mondrian, and the third on a painting), I investigate the hypothesis that object color can be represented by high spatial frequency (HSF) content while illuminant color can be represented by low spatial frequency (LSF) content. Observers’ object matches in Experiment 1 exhibited less variation across stimuli with similar than different HSF content. In Experiment 2, object matches moved in relation to HSF content and illumination matches moved in relation to LSF content. In Experiment 3, observers perceived greater change in object color across images with different HSF content than different LSF content; however, their perception of illuminant color change was no different than chance across HSF-differing and LSF-different stimuli. Altogether, this work demonstrates that color behaves differently and serves different roles at different spatial scales. Color constancy and other phenomena may be better understood from this point of view.

description: Additional File 8: Fig. S8. Circos visualization of male-specific discordant read clusters. Discordant read clusters (putative structural variations) were detected using the scaffremodler package (Martin et al., 2017) available at https://github.com/SouthGreenPlatform/scaffremodler . Male and female resequencing datasets were separately used on the reconstructed male chromosome 6. Default options were used with an expected forward-reverse read orientation and a minimal and maximal insert size set at 150 and 450 bp, respectively. Then male-specific discordant read clusters were trimmed by comparing the two results files. Links color: red, deletion; blue, reverse-forward; Scaffolds, black or yellow; Barplot from black to blue depending on the male read depth and the plot of scaled coverage difference between male and female pools (step: 500 bp; window: 1000 bp).
