 Bryaninops ridens Smith, 1959: 216, fig. 34 (type locality, Pinda, Mozambique).
 Lobulogobius bentuviai Goren, 1984: 78, fig. 4 (type locality, southern Sinai Peninsula).
 Diagnosis. Dorsal-fin rays VI + I,8 (rarely I,7); anal-fin rays I,8; pectoral-fin rays usually 13 or 14; body naked anterior to rear base of first dorsal fin, the longitudinal scale count 31–37 (mean scale count 33); body depth at origin of anal fin 13.3–17.5% SL; body progressively compressed posteriorly; head width greater than head depth and broader ventrally; snout length shorter than orbit diameter; gill opening extending forward to or anterior to posterior margin of preopercle; no canine tooth at side of lower jaw; caudal fin truncate to slightly rounded; pelvic fins short, round, and cup-like, the pelvic spines short; body translucent greenish yellow, the skeletal features of body visible; head and abdomen yellowish green with numerous black dots; a yellowish green band with black dots from eye to eye across front of snout and enclosing nostrils; red of gill filaments visible through operculum; fins translucent; iris dusky yellowish green with a broad inner white circle. A small species, the largest specimen 17.8 mm SL.
 Distribution. Known from Micronesia, Great Barrier Reef, Ryukyu Islands, Chagos Archipelago, and the Red Sea.
 Remarks. Herler & Hilgers (2005) reported this species in the Gulf of Aqaba only on the hydrozoan coral Millepora dichoma on the reef edge and upper reef slope. It clings to this stinging coral, usually in a head-down position. It was difficult to collect, moving quickly from branch to branch, and generally escaping in the network at the base. The second author observed B. ridens in southern Egypt in calm lagoons and bays from depth of 0.5-10 m, and it should be expected throughout the Red Sea. Because of its transparency, it is easily overlooked.

description: The use of Brillouin spectroscopy for noninvasive probing of the mechanical properties of biologically relevant materials shows great promise. Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) spectroscopy has the potential to significantly improve measurement speed and resolution by amplifying the scattered signal resonantly. However, current SBS spectrometers have been limited by fundamental and practical constraints in detection parameters. Here, we develop and demonstrate a novel LabVIEW-automated SBS instrumentation scheme in which a number of instruments that otherwise operate independently are automatized and synchronized from a singular LabVIEW program with emphasis on the user interface. Additionally, localization theory, originating from fluorescence-based super resolution microscopy techniques, is applied to the acquisition of SBS spectra, and experimentally demonstrated using this instrumentation scheme, resulting in spectra being acquired an order of magnitude faster while maintaining performances in terms of signal to noise ratio (SNR) and measurement precision.
Bounds on heat transfer by incompressible flows between balanced sources and sinks

description: Internally heated convection involves the transfer of heat by fluid motion between a distribution of sources and sinks. Focusing on the balanced case where the total heat added by the sources matches the heat taken away by the sinks, we obtain \emph{a priori} bounds on the minimum mean thermal dissipation $\langle |\nabla T|^2\rangle$ as a measure of the inefficiency of transport. In the advective limit, our bounds scale with the inverse mean kinetic energy of the flow. The constant in this scaling law depends on the source--sink distribution, as we explain both in a pair of examples involving oscillatory or concentrated heating and cooling, and via a general asymptotic variational principle for optimizing transport. Key to our analysis is the solution of a pure advection equation, which we do to find examples of extreme heat transfer by cellular and `pinching' flows. When the flow obeys a momentum equation, our bound is re-expressed in terms of a flux-based Rayleigh number $Ra$ yielding $\langle |\nabla T|^2\rangle\geq CRa^{-α}$. The power $α$ is $0, 2/3$ or $1$ depending on the arrangement of the sources and sinks relative to gravity.

title: Aesthetic Ethics without Evil. Aischron in Greek Popular Ethics
Creators: name: Bizoń, Michał
Publisher: name: The Polish Journal of Aesthetics
Year: 2020

description: In the paper I consider the Greek term aischron as a candidate for a moral concept of evil, focusing on popular rather than philosophical Greek ethical thought. I distinguish between a wide and a narrow concept of evil, focusing in the enquiry on the latter. A narrow concept of evil is limited to a moral meaning, referring to moral agents and actions. In this use evil represents the strongest negative evaluative term of moral agents and actions. I begin the analysis of aischron with a scrutiny of its positive counterpart, kalon. I synthetically discuss the ongoing discussion regarding its meanings. I then turn to the term aischron and its cognates and conclude that its meanings have a similar, albeit not identical, range to kalon. In both cases the semantic field of these terms include a functional, aesthetic, and ethical component. I further argue that these three components are interconnected which suggests that the various meanings of kalon and aischron are not homonymous. On this basis I argue that the functional and aesthetic components present fundamental difficulties for reading aischron as denoting moral evil.

This is an amazingly simple and moving truth: from the clutches of the Soviet Empire which destroys the Master only Satan can release him. The Master’s saviour is the spirit of evil. In this article I would like to show Bulgakov’s rich and ambiguous topography of evil, then to expand the view of the topography of good.

description: In this Letter we present scanning tunneling microscopy density-of-states measurements and electronic structure calculations of the topological insulator Bi2Se3. The measurements show significant background states in addition to the expected Dirac cone. Density functional calculations using a slab model and analysis of the partial density-of-states show that the background is consistent with bulk-like states with small amplitudes at the surface. The topological surface states coexist with bulk-like states in the valence band, appearing as a shoulder in the projected band structure. These results strongly support the picture suggested by recent scattering experiments of the quantum interference of topological and bulk-like surface states.

description: In The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky addresses the problem of how to reconcile God’s goodness with the evil in the world by comparing the metaphysical implications of Ivan Karamazov’s and the Elder Zosima’s Euclidean and non-Euclidean epistemologies. For Ivan, the moral opposites of good and evil cannot be reconciled, just as two parallel lines cannot meet (Euclid’s fifth postulate). For Zosima, the symbol of the crucifix represents a meeting of the parallel lines and the moral opposites.

description: Experimental design plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and reliability of systems in various domains. Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) have been widely used as a decision-making tool for probabilistic modeling and analysis of complex systems. This thesis presents an approach for using a BBN to model an assurance case and predict the likelihood of its claims. This can be used to evaluate changes to the experiments that will generate the evidence needed for the assurance case. We present two examples as case studies in the software engineering domain to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. The results show that our framework can effectively capture the changes in the degree of belief in a claim under uncertainties and risks associated with the experimental design and provide decision-makers with a more comprehensive understanding of the system under investigation.

description: We propose a quantum circuit that creates a pure state corresponding to the quantum superposition of all prime numbers less than 2^n, where n is the number of qubits of the register. This Prime state can be built using Grover's algorithm, whose oracle is a quantum implementation of the classical Miller-Rabin primality test. The Prime state is highly entangled, and its entanglement measures encode number theoretical functions such as the distribution of twin primes or the Chebyshev bias. This algorithm can be further combined with the quantum Fourier transform to yield an estimate of the prime counting function, more efficiently than any classical algorithm and with an error below the bound that allows for the verification of the Riemann hypothesis. We also propose a Twin Prime state to measure the number of twin primes and another state to test the Goldbach conjecture. Arithmetic properties of prime numbers are then, in principle, amenable to experimental verifications on quantum systems.

description: We have studied the influence of annealing treatment on the crystalline growth of SrFe_12_O_19 previously deposited on Si (100) substrates using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. For this goal, two grown films, with and without \textit{ex-situ} heating step, have been analysed and compared to determine the differences in their structural, compositional and magnetic properties. The results obtained by the different analysis techniques, in particular Mössbauer spectroscopy together with EXAFS and XANES data, suggest that the as-grown film is composed of nanocrystalline maghemite nanoparticles and amorphous strontium oxide. A strontium hexaferrite canonical structure with c-axis orientation in the sample plane was found for the annealed film.

description: We report the discovery of Kepler-77b (alias KOI-127.01), a Saturn-mass transiting planet in a 3.6-day orbit around a metal-rich solar-like star. We combined the publicly available Kepler photometry (quarters 1-13) with high-resolution spectroscopy from the Sandiford@McDonald and FIES@NOT spectrographs. We derived the system parameters via a simultaneous joint fit to the photometric and radial velocity measurements. Our analysis is based on the Bayesian approach and is carried out by sampling the parameter posterior distributions using a Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation. Kepler-77b is a moderately inflated planet with a mass of Mp=0.430+/-0.032 Mjup, a radius of Rp=0.960+/-0.016 Rjup, and a bulk density of 0.603+/-0.055 g/cm^3. It orbits a slowly rotating (P=36+/-6 days) G5V star with M*=0.95+/-0.04 Msun, R*=0.99+/-0.02 Rsun, Teff=5520+/-60 K, [M/H]=0.20+/-0.05, that has an age of 7.5+/-2.0 Gyr. The lack of detectable planetary occultation with a depth higher than about 10 ppm implies a planet geometric and Bond albedo of Ag<0.087+/-0.008 and Ab<0.058+/-0.006, respectively, placing Kepler-77b among the gas-giant planets with the lowest albedo known so far. We found neither additional planetary transit signals nor transit-timing variations at a level of about 0.5 minutes, in accordance with the trend that close-in gas giant planets seem to belong to single-planet systems. The 106 transits observed in short-cadence mode by Kepler for nearly 1.2 years show no detectable signatures of the planet's passage in front of starspots. We explored the implications of the absence of detectable spot-crossing events for the inclination of the stellar spin-axis, the sky-projected spin-orbit obliquity, and the latitude of magnetically active regions.

description: The aim of this paper is to provide a philosophical reading of a famous novel by Pär Lagerkvist entitled The Dwarf. The novel’s protagonist is to be found as the embodiment of evil. His diaries explore his own identity. Hence the paper shall employ the Dwarf's confessions to describe the ontology of evil. That will be then compared to the classical metaphysics of good and evil based on Plotinus’ Enneads. The ideas of evil’s homogenity, impenetrability, infertility and absurdity are studied. In the conclusion, the utmost importance of human freedom is indicated in these works of both Lagerkvist and Plotinus. Keywords: Ontology, Evil, Freedom, Lagerkvist, Plotinus

description: Patients in oncology centers experience extreme physical and psychological anguish due to illness. Patients spend a lot of time in these facilities, often during the most turbulent times in their lives. Current healthcare facilities are designed around medical technology. Medical centers thrive on scientific ingenuity and innovative technology. However, through this process the wellbeing of patients is disregarded almost entirely, leaving healthcare facilities barren and cold. Incorporating biophilia into the design of healthcare facilities provides for a patient’s health and wellbeing. Utilizing biophilic design with a focus on health and wellness within healthcare design can transform the recovery of patients as they seek care. This thesis investigates how designing for a patient's wellbeing can benefit their medical experience. The philosophy for the design of this thesis is to utilize biophilic design approaches to focus on the wellbeing of patients as they receive care. This includes design strategies that include natural elements, views to nature, as well as a biophilic approach to materiality and lighting. The context for this project is a cancer center that incorporates biophilic design with the technology of modern medicine resulting in a facility that is designed for a patient's wellbeing.

This subleading order geometric optics expansion, in which the conventional eikonal function is modified by inserting a carefully chosen helicity-dependent correction, is called spin optics. We derive the propagation and polarization equations in the spin optics approximation as electromagnetic waves travel in curved spacetime. Polarization-dependent deviation of the light ray trajectory from the geodesic, describing the gravitational spin Hall effect, is observed. We also establish an analogy with the related phenomena (optical Magnus effect) of condensed matter physics.

An evaluation of Quantification of Margins and Uncertainties for a neutron radiography application
Creators: name: Ung, Annie
Publisher: name: The University of Texas at Austin
Year: 2020
Subjects: Neutron radiography

description: Quantification of Margins and Uncertainties (QMU) is a framework that was first introduced to understand the knowns and unknowns of an application. It is used to analyze the reliability of a system by evaluating its confidence ratio. This involves identifying, characterizing, and analyzing any thresholds, margins, and uncertainties that may influence a system’s functionality. To understand the importance of it, the QMU framework is applied to a neutron transport problem, specifically neutron radiography. This thesis showcases extensive work that has been done on neutron radiography at the University of Texas at Austin’s Thermal Neutron Imaging Facility (TNIF). Many parameters of the image quality of the radiographs were measured using an American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard. This experimental set-up was then simulated using MCNP 6.2, a radiation transport tool that originated from Los Alamos National Laboratory. Aspects pertaining to the radiograph standard were investigated further for the application of the QMU framework by evaluating both the experimental and simulation results. From this analysis, the lowest confidence ratio was found to be 11.3 and the highest was 376.2. These values are greater than 1 therefore this system is recognized as reliable. Areas with lower confidence ratios are more likely to experience failure so these regions should be avoided when imaging if at all possible.
Spin and valley effects on the quantum phase transition in two dimensions

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: Using several independent methods, we find that the metal-insulator transition occurs in the strongly-interacting two-valley two-dimensional electron system in ultra-high mobility SiGe/Si/SiGe quantum wells in zero magnetic field. The transition survives in this system in parallel magnetic fields strong enough to completely polarize the electrons' spins, thus making the electron system "spinless". In both cases, the resistivity on the metallic side near the transition increases with decreasing temperature, reaches a maximum at a temperature $T_{\text{max}}$, and then decreases. The decrease reaches more than an order of magnitude in zero magnetic field. The value of $T_{\text{max}}$ in zero magnetic field is found to be close to the renormalized Fermi temperature. However, rather than increasing along with the Fermi temperature, the value $T_{\text{max}}$ decreases appreciably for spinless electrons in spin-polarizing magnetic fields. The observed behavior of $T_{\text{max}}$ cannot be described by existing theories. The results indicate the spin-related origin of the effect. At the same time, the low-temperature resistivity drop in both spin-unpolarized and spinless electron systems is described quantitatively by the dynamical mean-field theory.

description: Using Chiral Perturbation Theory, we obtain the kaon semi-leptonic vector form factor in finite volume at a generic momentum transfer, $q^2$, up to one loop order. At first we confirm the lattice observation that the contribution of the heavy Pseudo-Goldstone boson in the finite volume corrections at zero momentum transfer is unimportant. We then evaluate the form factor at $q^2=0$ numerically and compare our results with the present lattice data. It turns out that our ChPT results are comparable with the lattice data to some extend. The formula for the finite volume corrections obtained for the form factor at momentum transfer $q^2$, provides a tool for lattice data in order to extrapolate at large lattice size.

title: Educational Buildings as Educational Buildings: Can sustainable architecture help support sustainability in the curriculum?
Creators: name: Speedie, Claire
name: Mulville, Mark
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2017

description: This paper explores whether the architectural design of educational buildings - by incorporating an expression of the sustainable design - helps to educate users towards adoption of sustainable practices. Utilising observational studies from primary schools incorporating sustainable design measures, the research explored their impact on the curriculum.

School buildings accommodate the educational process but design briefs do not require that buildings educate their users. The paper demonstrated that sustainable features of the buildings were not well integrated into the curriculum and that one explanation was the lack of interpretation incorporated into the architecture to support teachers lacking an appreciation of sustainable built environments as part of a global ecosystem. Primary schools tend to deliver environmental education focussed on nature study and outdoor education rather than sustainable development.

Sustainable buildings often exhibit a performance gap for which building occupants and operators may be a contributory factor. Education within the curriculum and embedding knowledge in the architecture may reduce the gap and development of such an approach could benefit other buildings.

A ‘Designed-In’ approach is recommended, to make conspicuous the building design, attitudes and behaviours, offering future generations understanding of the impacts of built environments and personal actions on a sustainable future.

description: The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) will give us an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the transient sky at radio wavelengths. In this paper we present VAST, an ASKAP survey for Variables and Slow Transients. VAST will exploit the wide-field survey capabilities of ASKAP to enable the discovery and investigation of variable and transient phenomena from the local to the cosmological, including flare stars, intermittent pulsars, X-ray binaries, magnetars, extreme scattering events, interstellar scintillation, radio supernovae and orphan afterglows of gamma ray bursts. In addition, it will allow us to probe unexplored regions of parameter space where new classes of transient sources may be detected. In this paper we review the known radio transient and variable populations and the current results from blind radio surveys. We outline a comprehensive program based on a multi-tiered survey strategy to characterise the radio transient sky through detection and monitoring of transient and variable sources on the ASKAP imaging timescales of five seconds and greater. We also present an analysis of the expected source populations that we will be able to detect with VAST.

description: Fungicide resistance is a limiting factor in sustainable crop production. Despite the wide adoption of general resistance management strategies by growers, the recent rate of resistance development in important fungal pathogens is concerning. In this study, Botrytis cinerea and the high-risk fungicide fenhexamid were used to determine the effects of fungicide dose, tank mixture, and application timing on resistance selection across varied frequencies of resistance via both detached fruit assays and greenhouse trials. The results showed that application of doses lower than the fungicide label dose, mixture with the low-risk fungicide captan, and application post-infection seem to be the most effective management strategies in our experimental settings. In addition, even a small resistant B. cinerea population can lead to a dramatic reduction of disease control efficacy. Our findings were largely consistent with the recent modeling studies which favored the use of the lowest possible fungicide dose for improved resistance management.

description: This paper presents the software entitled "Partial Pole Placement via Delay Action", or "P3$δ$" for short. P3$δ$ is a Python software with a friendly user interface for the design of parametric stabilizing feedback laws with time-delays for dynamical systems. After recalling the theoretical foundation of the so-called "Partial Pole Placement" methodology we propose as well the main features of the current version of P3$δ$. We illustrate its use in feedback stabilization of several control systems operating under time delays.

On the classification of Killing submersions and their isometries

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: A Killing submersion is a Riemannian submersion from an orientable 3-manifold to an orientable surface whose fibers are the integral curves of a unit Killing vector field in the 3-manifold. We classify all Killing submersions over simply-connected Riemannian surfaces and give explicit models for many Killing submersions including those over simply-connected constant Gaussian curvature surfaces. We also fully describe the isometries of the total space preserving the vertical direction. As a consequence, we prove that the only simply-connected homogeneous 3-manifolds which admit a structure of Killing submersion are the E(κ,τ)-spaces, whose isometry group has dimension at least 4.

description: Following QUIC protocol ratification on May 2021, the third major version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, namely HTTP/3, was published around one year later in RFC 9114. In light of these consequential advancements, the current work aspires to provide a full-blown coverage of the following issues, which to our knowledge have received feeble or no attention in the literature so far. First, we provide a complete review of attacks against HTTP/2, and elaborate on if and in which way they can be migrated to HTTP/3. Second, through the creation of a testbed comprising the at present six most popular HTTP/3-enabled servers, we examine the effectiveness of a quartet of attacks, either stemming directly from the HTTP/2 relevant literature or being entirely new. This scrutiny led to the assignment of at least one CVE ID with a critical base score by MITRE. No less important, by capitalizing on a realistic, abundant in devices testbed, we compiled a voluminous, labeled corpus containing traces of ten diverse attacks against HTTP and QUIC services. An initial evaluation of the dataset mainly by means of machine learning techniques is included as well. Given that the 30 GB dataset is made available in both pcap and CSV formats, forthcoming research can easily take advantage of any subset of features, contingent upon the specific network topology and configuration.
Holographic anomaly in 3d f(Ric) gravity

description: By applying the holographic renormalization method to the metric formalism of f(Ric) gravity in three dimensions, we obtain the Brown-York boundary stress-tensor for backgrounds which asymptote to the locally AdS3 solution of Einstein gravity. The logarithmic divergence of the on-shell action can be subtracted by a non-covariant cut-off independent term which exchanges the trace anomaly for a gravitational anomaly. We show that the central charge can be determined by means of BTZ holography or in terms of the Hawking effect of a Schwarzschild black hole placed on the boundary.

Over-the-Air Beamforming with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces

description: Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-empowered communication is a revolutionary technology that enables to manipulate wireless propagation environment via smartly controllable low-cost reflecting surfaces. However, in order to outperform conventional communication systems, an RIS-aided system with solely passive reflection requires an extremely large surface. To meet this challenge, the concept of active RIS, which performs simultaneous amplification and reflection on the incident signal at the expense of additional power consumption, has been recently introduced. In this paper, deploying an active RIS, we propose a novel beamforming concept, over-the-air beamforming, for RIS-aided multi-user multiple-input single-output (MISO) transmission schemes without requiring any pre/post signal processing hardware designs at the transmitter and receiver sides. In the proposed over-the-air beamforming-based transmission scheme, the reflection coefficients of the active RIS elements are customized to maximize the sum-rate gain. To tackle this issue, first, a non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) problem is formulated. Then, using semidefinite relaxation (SDR) approach, this optimization problem is converted to a convex feasibility problem, which is efficiently solved using the CVX optimization toolbox. Moreover, taking inspiration from this beamforming technique, a novel high-rate receive index modulation (IM) scheme with a low-complexity sub-optimal detector is developed. Through comprehensive simulation results, the sum-rate and bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed designs are investigated.

Efros-Shklovskii variable range hopping in reduced graphene oxide sheets of varying carbon sp2 fraction

description: We investigate the low temperature electron transport properties of chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets with different carbon sp2 fractions of 55 to 80 %. We show that in the low bias (Ohmic) regime, the temperature (T) dependent resistance (R) of all the devices follow Efros-Shklovskii variable range hopping (ES-VRH) R ~ exp[(T(ES)/T)^1/2] with T(ES) decreasing from 30976 to 4225 K and electron localization length increasing from 0.46 to 3.21 nm with increasing sp2 fraction. From our data, we predict that for the temperature range used in our study, Mott-VRH may not be observed even at 100 % sp2 fraction samples due to residual topological defects and structural disorders. From the localization length, we calculate a bandgap variation of our RGO from 1.43 to 0.21 eV with increasing sp2 fraction from 55 to 80 % which agrees remarkably well with theoretical prediction. We also show that, in the high bias regime, the hopping is field driven and the data follow R ~ exp[(E(0)/E)^1/2] providing further evidence of ES-VRH.

description: Black communities in Washington, DC have long experienced health inequities due to a history of inequitable social policies and inadequate access to health-related resources (Jackson, 2017). Critical, academic scholars and social justice activists implicate the political economy and racial oppression as a root cause of health inequities in the country. Black grassroots organizations demonstrate a history of political and social resistance to oppressive health and social systems, defending their right to health and autonomy, known as radical health activism (Nelson, 2011). Despite rich accounts of Black-led health interventions, their contributions to public health practice and frameworks have not been widely reviewed in public health discourse. Using informant interviews and descriptive study analysis, the health politics and subsequent health intervention strategies of Black grassroots organizations in Washington, D.C were examined. The 3 core themes that emerged from this study were health politics, radical health intervention strategies, and successes and challenges.
