The conductance of a multi-mode ballistic ring: beyond Landauer and Kubo

description: The Landauer conductance of a two terminal device equals to the number of open modes in the weak scattering limit. What is the corresponding result if we close the system into a ring? Is it still bounded by the number of open modes? Or is it unbounded as in the semi-classical (Drude) analysis? It turns out that the calculation of the mesoscopic conductance is similar to solving a percolation problem. The "percolation" is in energy space rather than in real space. The non-universal structures and the sparsity of the perturbation matrix cannot be ignored.

description: Recycled poultry bedding (RPB), contaminated with Salmonella, was fed to beef calves to determine if it would increase the prevalence of detectable Salmonella faecal shedding. 60 Angus crossbred steer calves were placed on balanced rations containing Salmonella-contaminated recycled poultry bedding that had been properly or improperly stacked, or fed a control diet for an 84-d growing phase. After the growing phase, the calves were transported (for 12 h) to simulate shipping stress and then fed a single finishing diet. Faecal samples were collected from each calf and cultured for Salmonella prior to the start of the trial, every 14 days during the growing phase, 24 hours after transport and every 28 days during the finishing phase. At the end of the finishing phase, scrapings from the ileocaecal mucosa were collected at the abattoir and cultured. Dietary components and total mixed rations were sampled and cultured weekly for Salmonella. Other than the poultry bedding at delivery, none of the dietary components or calves were culture-positive for Salmonella at any time during the feeding periods or after transport. One calf that had been on a RPB diet during the growing phase was positive for Salmonella norwich at postmortem collection; however, it was not established that this was the same serotype of Salmonella cultured from the RPB. We conclude that feeding a known Salmonella-contaminated feed source as a part of a balanced ration did not increase the prevalence of detectable Salmonella shedding in calves over the published prevalence.

description: A 4-year-old female llama was admitted to the veterinary teaching hospital with a 12-month history of urinary incontinence and scalding of the perineum and rear limbs. Before the development of the presenting complaint the llama experienced a complicated dystocia. A diagnosis of urine pooling was made following an initial physical exam. Surgical correction was attempted using a urethral extension technique previously described in the cow. However, the llama continued to pool urine post-surgery. After further vaginal examination using endoscopy, a urethrovaginal fistula was diagnosed 10 cm caudal to the cervix, midway between the cervix and the cranial portion of the extended urethra. A second surgery was undertaken to close the fistula. The llama recovered uneventfully, urine pooling ceased and the scalded areas healed. Urethrovaginal fistulas have not been previously documented in llamas.

description: Amid rising political polarisation, inaccurate memory for facts and exaggerated memories of grievances can drive individuals and groups further apart. We assessed whether people with more accurate memories of the facts concerning political events were less susceptible to bias when remembering how events made them feel. Study 1 assessed participants’ memories concerning the 2016 U.S. presidential election (N = 571), and included 33 individuals with Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM). Study 2 assessed participants’ memories concerning the 2018 referendum on abortion in Ireland (N = 733). Participants rated how happy, angry, and scared they felt days after these events. Six months later, they recalled their feelings and factual information. In both studies, participants overestimated how angry they had felt but underestimated happiness and fear. Adjusting for importance, no association was found between the accuracy of memory for facts and feelings. Accuracy in remembering facts was predicted by media exposure. Accuracy in remembering feelings was predicted by consistency over time in feelings and appraisals about past events. HSAM participants in Study 1 remembered election-related facts better than others, but not their feelings. Thus, having a good grasp of the facts did not protect against bias in remembering feelings about political events.
Existence of Continuous or Constant Finsler's Variables for Parameter-Dependent Systems

description: Finsler's lemma is a classic mathematical result with applications in control and optimization. When the lemma is applied to parameter-dependent LMIs, as such those that arise from problems of robust stability, the extra variables introduced by this lemma also become dependent on this parameter. This technical note presents some sufficient conditions which ensure, without losing generality, that these extra variables can assume a simple functional dependence on the parameters as continuity or even independence. The results allow avoiding an unnecessary use of a more functionally complicated parameter-dependent variable that increases the search computational burden without reducing the conservatism of the solution.

description: We present the first results of our HST WFPC2 F814W snapshot imaging survey, targeting virtually all sub-mJy decimetric radio-selected star-forming galaxies. The radio selection at ~1 GHz is free from extinction effects and the radio luminosities are largely unaffected by AGN contamination, making these galaxies ideal tracers of the cosmic star formation history. A sub-sample of 4 targets is presented here, selected at 1.4 GHz from the spectroscopically homogenous and complete samples of Benn et al. (1993) and Hopkins et al. (1999). The redshifts are confined to a narrow range around z~0.2, to avoid differential evolution, with a radio luminosity close to L* where the galaxies dominate the comoving volume-averaged star formation rate. We find clearly disturbed morphologies resembling those of ultraluminous infrared galaxies, indicating that galaxy interactions may be the dominant mechanism for triggering star formation at these epochs. The morphologies are also clearly different from coeval quasars and radiogalaxies, as found in star-forming galaxies selected at other wavelengths. This may prove challenging for models which propose direct causal links between AGN evolution and the cosmic star formation history at these epochs. The asymmetries are typically much larger than seen in the CFRS at similar redshifts, optical luminosities and Halpha-derived star formation rates, indicating the possible existence of an obscuration-related morphological bias in such samples.

description: The recent closure of Fort Devens has had an undeniable impact on business in downtown Ayer, Massachusetts, deflating both the town's population level and its economy. Downtown business in Ayer has traditionally served several surrounding communities, and it is fundamental to the survival of Ayer' s economy that this business continue to thrive. Facing a future that will lack the economic boost formerly associated with Fort activity, business owners and the town must make a greater effort to attract downtown commerce. In the midst of these changes, residents and business owners have participated with town officials in planning for the future, including updating the town's Comprehensive Plan. Additional development that will benefit downtown is already underway, including new business growth and the upgrading of a commuter rail facility that links Ayer with Boston. Downtown Ayer will also soon be a terminus for an eleven-mile bicycle rail trail, which promises to draw many users into downtown Ayer. In conjunction with these development efforts, it is crucial that the downtown be made more appealing to visitors. This includes enhancing downtown's public image, improving parking and pedestrian accessibility, and amending zoning bylaws to maximize economic and development potential This study encourages continued communication between town officials and citizens of Ayer in enhancing the image of Downtown. The identification of issues and development of recommendations for this report is based largely on the input of downtown business owners and shop merchants.
Electronic properties of silica nanowires

description: Thin nanowires of silicon oxide were studied by pseudopotential density functional electronic structure calculations using the generalized gradient approximation. Infinite linear and zigzag Si-O chains were investigated. A wire composed of three-dimensional periodically repeated Si4O8 units was also optimized, but this structure was found to be of limited stability. The geometry, electronic structure, and Hirshfeld charges of these silicon oxide nanowires were computed. The results show that the Si-O chain is metallic, whereas the zigzag chain and the Si4O8 nanowire are insulators.

description: Research on individual differences in the occurrence of relatively frequent facial displays is scarce. We examined whether (1) individuals’ spontaneous facial expressions show a relatively frequent pattern of AUs (referred to as Personal Nonverbal Repertoires or PNRs), and (2) whether these patterns are associated with self-reported social and emotional styles. We videotaped 110 individuals during 10 minutes in 2 different contexts and manually FACS coded 18 AUs. Subsequently, participants completed questionnaires regarding individual differences in social and emotional styles: BIS/BAS, interpersonal orientation, conflict handling style, and emotion regulation (reliably reduced to 4 factors: Yielding, Forcing, Compromising and Extraversion). We found five patterns of PNRs: Smiling (AU6,12), Partial Blinking, Drooping (AU41, 63), Tensed (AU1 + 2, 4, 7, 23), and Eyes widening (AU5). Three PNRs showed weak to moderate correlations with individual differences in social and emotional styles (based on EFA): Smiling is associated with Compromising and Extraversion, Drooping with Yielding, and Partial Blinking is negatively correlated with Extraversion. These findings suggest that some of an individual’s frequent facial action patterns are associated with specific styles in social and emotional interactions.

description: In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for the design of grouping of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, based on the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT). Grouping allows verifying the integrity of a collection of objects without the requirement for accessing external systems, and can be extended to identify missing objects. Motivated by the redundancy property of the Chinese remainderrepresentation, we propose grouping of RFID tags via the CRT. The proposed scheme not only provides designated decoding guarantees, but also offers flexibility in constructing group generation matrices. We also characterize the key objects needed to study decoding guarantees of grouping and its extended counterpart, called rank-deficient and dead-end sets, respectively, which enable theoretical analyses of error rates. The two key objects are related to the minimum and stopping distances of a linear code, respectively. As such, the characterization offers direct connection with coding theory that helps in the understanding of the verification/identification problems being studied. Theoretical and simulation results are presented, demonstrating that the proposed scheme is an efficient approach to the design of grouping of RFID tags.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Self-control does not always work effectively. Whether this reflects the depletion of a global self-control resource is subject to an ongoing debate. We turned to boredom as a potential confounding variable to advance this debate. In a high-powered experiment (N = 719), participants worked on a primary (transcription) task of varying self-control demands (low, high) and length (2, 4, 8 min), followed by a secondary (Stroop) task with low and high self-control demanding trials. In addition to trait boredom, we measured effort, difficulty, tiredness, frustration, and boredom after the primary task and repeatedly during the secondary task. Effort, difficulty, tiredness, and frustration increased with the demand and duration of the primary task; however, without affecting performance in the secondary task. Importantly, participants rated both the primary and the secondary task as boring, and higher boredom at the state and the trait level was associated with lower effort and higher difficulty, tiredness, and frustration. During the secondary task, boredom increased steadily but was generally lower in more self-control demanding trials. Finally, boredom predicted performance in the secondary task. These results show an intricate relationship between self-control and boredom that research on these two constructs should carefully disentangle.

description: We investigate the mechanical properties of amorphous polymers by means of coarse-grained simulations and nonaffine lattice dynamics theory. A small increase of polymer chain bending stiffness leads first to softening of the material, while hardening happens only upon further strengthening of the backbones. This nonmonotonic variation of the storage modulus $G'$ with bending stiffness is caused by a competition between additional resistance to deformation offered by stiffer backbones and decreased density of the material due to a necessary decrease in monomer-monomer coordination. This counter-intuitive finding suggests that the strength of polymer glasses may in some circumstances be enhanced by softening the bending of constituent chains.
The frequency of nuclear star-formation in Seyfert 2 galaxies

description: We investigate the detectability of starburst signatures in the nuclear spectrum of Seyfert 2 galaxies by constructing spectral models in the wavelength range 3500-4100A, combining the spectrum of a bulge population (of age ~10Gyr) with that of younger stellar populations, spanning ages from ~3 Myr to 1 Gyr. We also construct models combining the bulge template with a power-law (PL) continuum, which is observed in some Seyfert 2's in polarized light, contributing with typically 10-40% of the flux at 4020A. We conclude that such continuum cannot be distinguished from that of a very young stellar population (age < 10 Myr), contributing with less than ~0.02% of the mass of the bulge. The models are compared with nuclear spectra - corresponding to a radius of 200-300 pc at the galaxy - of 20 Seyfert 2 galaxies, in which we specifically look for the signatures above of young to intermediate age stellar populations. We find them in ten galaxies, thus 50% of the sample. But only in six cases (30% of the sample) they can be attributed to young stars (age < 500 Myr): Mrk 1210, ESO 362-G8, NGC 5135, NGC 5643, NGC 7130 and NGC 7582. In the remaining four cases, the signatures are due to intermediate age stars (~1 Gyr). We find a tendency for the young stars to be found more frequently among the late type Seyfert's. This tendency is supported by a comparison between the equivalent widths (W) of absorption lines of the nuclear spectra of the Seyfert 2's with those of normal galaxies of the same Hubble type.

description: Liveweight; rectal temperature (on days one and 3); implant condition; feed bunk condition; and serum hormone concentrations of trenbolone, trenbolone acetate, testosterone, progesterone, and estradiol 17? (on days one and 3) were measured in rider steers (n=17), buller steers (n=6) and control steers (n=18) at the time of bulling activity. Day one was considered the day of initial bulling activity. Liveweight at the time of bulling did not differ between groups (p=0.99), nor did rectal temperature at the time of bulling or the rectal temperature on day 3 post-bulling (p=0.93, p=0.80). There was a significant relationship between liveweight at the time of bulling activity and day one rectal temperature (p=0.002); however, the relationship between liveweight at the time of bulling and day 3 rectal temperature was not significant (p=0.31). The condition of growth hormone implants at the time of bulling did not differ between groups (p=0.27). Day one serum estradiol 17? concentration was significantly different between groups (p=0.05). The four steers that had detected (and quantified) levels of estradiol 17? on day one were riders; on the other hand, one buller and one control steer had detected (not quantified) levels of estradiol 17? on day one. The available data suggest that rider steers may have elevated levels of estradiol 17? as compared to bullers and non-involved penmates at the time of bulling activity. Furthermore, the results of this study suggest that the rider steer should be scrutinized as closely as the buller steer in future studies.

description: During the last years there has been an increasing excitement in nanomotors and particularly in current-driven nanomotors. Despite the broad variety of stimulating results found, the regime of strong Coulomb interactions has not been fully explored for this application. Here we consider nanoelectromechanical devices composed by a set of coupled quantum dots interacting with mechanical degrees of freedom taken in the adiabatic limit and weakly coupled to electronic reservoirs. We use a real-time diagrammatic approach to derive general expressions for the current-induced forces, friction coefficients, and zero-frequency force noise in the Coulomb blockade regime of transport. We prove our expressions accomplish with Onsager's reciprocity relations and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for the energy dissipation of the mechanical modes. The obtained results are illustrated in a nanomotor consisting of a double quantum dot capacitively coupled to some rotating charges. We analyze the dynamics and performance of the motor as function of the applied voltage and loading force for trajectories encircling different triple points in the charge stability diagram.

description: In this work, we shall incorporate a stiff era in the Universe's evolution in the context of $F(R)$ gravity. After deriving the vacuum $F(R)$ gravity, which may realize a stiff evolution, we combine the stiff $F(R)$ gravity with an $R^2$ model, and we construct a qualitative model for the inflationary and stiff era, with the latter commencing after the end of the inflationary era. We assume that the baryogenesis occurs during the stiff era, and we calculate the baryon to entropy ratio, which effectively constraints the functional form of the stiff $F(R)$ gravity. Further constraints on the stiff $F(R)$ gravity may come from the primordial gravitational waves, and particularly their scalar mode, which is characteristic of the $F(R)$ gravity theory. The stiff era presence does not contradict the standard cosmology era, namely, inflation, and the radiation-matter domination eras. Furthermore, we investigate which $F(R)$ gravity may realize a dust and stiff matter dominated Einstein-Hilbert evolution.

description: In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of a platform that can be used for timesynchronization and indoor positioning of mobile devices. The platform uses the Time-Difference-Of-Arrival (TDOA) of multiple ultrasonic chirps broadcast from a network of beacons placed throughout the environment to find an initial location as well as synchronize a receiver's clock with the infrastructure. These chirps encode identification data and ranging information that can be used to compute the receiver's location. Once the clocks have been synchronized, the system can continue performing localization directly using Time-of-Flight (TOF) ranging as opposed to TDOA. This provides similar position accuracy with fewer beacons (for tens of minutes) until the mobile device clock drifts enough that a TDOA signal is once again required. Our hardware platform uses RF-based time synchronizationto distribute clock synchronization from a subset of infrastructure beacons connected to a GPS source. Mobile devices use a novel time synchronization technique leverages the continuously free-running audio sampling subsystem of a smartphone to synchronize with global time. Once synchronized, each device can determine an accurate proximity from as little as one beacon using TOF measurements. This significantly decreases the number of beacons required to cover an indoor space and improves performance in the face of obstructions. We show through experiments that this approach outperforms the Network Time Protocol (NTP) on smartphones by an order of magnitude, providing an average 720μs synchronization accuracy with clock drift rates as low as 2ppm.

description: A planar phase space having both position and momentum noncommutativity is defined in a more inclusive setting than that considered elsewhere. The dynamics of a particle in a gravitational quantum well in this space is studied. The use of the WKB approximation and the virial theorem enable analytic discussions on the effect of noncommutativity. Consistent results are obtained following either commutative space or noncommutative space descriptions. Comparison with recent experimental data with cold neutrons at Grenoble imposes an upper bound on the noncommutative parameter.

description: This study compared the pregnancy rate in cows inseminated after two different pre-synchronization protocols based on clinical features of the genital tract and treatment with either PGF2α or GnRH. A total of 340 reproductively normal lactating dairy cows was divided in two groups. Cows in Group 1 (n=216) had a corpus luteum when palpated per rectum on day 0. These cows were administered 25 mg of PGF2α on day 0, 100 υg ofGnRH on day 14, 25 mg of PGF2α on day 21, 100 υg of GnRH on day 23, and time-inseminated 16-h later. Cows detected in estrus from day Oto day 14 were inseminated 10 to 12-h after signs of estrus. Cows in Group 2 (n=124) either had a large ovarian follicle and uterine tone, or a corpus hemorragicum when palpated per rectum on day 0. These cows received 100 υg of GnRH on day 0, 100 υg of GnRH on day 8, 25 mg of PGF2α on day 15, 100 υg of GnRH on day 17, and time-inseminated 16-h later. Cows detected in estrus before the end of the treatment protocol were inseminated 10 to 12-h after signs of estrus and removed from the study. Data collected were pregnancy rate for cows time-inseminated in Group 1, cows inseminated at detected estrus in Group 1, and cows time-inseminated in Group 2. Pregnancy rates were compared using logistic regression adjusted for number of previous services, parity, season and days in milk. There was no difference (p=0.83) in pregnancy rate between cows time-inseminated in Group 1 (35.9%) and Group 2 (32.8%). In Group 1, there was no difference (p=0.21) in pregnancy rate between cows time-inseminated (35.9%) and cows inseminated at detected estrus within 14-d after treatment with PGF2α (43.5%). Results of this study suggest that cows in different stages of the estrous cycle, as determined by rectal palpation of the genital tract, had similar pregnancy rates when they were selectively pre-synchronized with either PGF2α or GnRH.

Milk quality and mastitis tests
Creators: name: Ruegg, Pamela L.

description: A variety of diagnostic tests are routinely used to evaluate milk quality on dairy farms. Tests such as bulk milk bacterial counts, bulk tank somatic cell count and tests for adulterants such as water, sediment or antibiotics are routinely used by regulatory agencies. Other tests such as individual cow somatic cell count values, Staphylococcus aureus milk antibody tests, the California Mastitis Test, milk conductivity and milk microbiology are often used diagnostically to investigate milk quality problems. Veterinarians also use various types of antibiotic susceptibility tests to help guide mastitis treatment decisions. The successful use of milk quality and mastitis tests requires knowledge of the methodology and diagnostic capabilities of each test. This paper reviews practical applications and supporting research of tests that are commonly used to investigate and solve milk quality and mastitis problems on dairy farms.

description: Developmental changes in the brain networks involved in emotion regulation are thought to contribute to vulnerability to mental health problems during adolescence. Executive control is often viewed as allowing top-down regulation of emotional responses. However, while associations between executive control and mental health are commonly observed in both clinical and non-clinical populations, the direction of these associations remains unclear. Low, or immature, cognitive control could limit emotion regulation. Reversely, high emotionality could impede cognitive functioning. The scarcity of longitudinal studies testing for bi-directional effects, particularly in adolescence, has made it difficult to draw conclusions. This study analysed data from 1,445 participants of a longitudinal cohort in a cross-lagged panel design to understand bi-directional longitudinal associations between executive function and emotional behaviours across adolescence. Executive function was assessed using experimental working memory and inhibitory control tasks, emotional behaviours through parental report of internalising and externalising behaviours. Cross-sectional associations were replicated. Controlling for cross-sectional associations, early executive functions were not found to predict later emotional behaviours. Instead, early emotional behaviours predicted later executive function, with the strongest link observed between early externalising and later working memory. These results suggest that emotional well-being may affect the maturation of executive function during adolescence.
Superstatistical random-matrix-theory approach to transition intensities in mixed systems

description: We study the fluctuation properties of transition intensities applying a recently proposed generalization of the random matrix theory, which is based on Beck and Cohen's superstatistics. We obtain an analytic expression for the distribution of the reduced transition probabilities that applies to systems undergoing a transition out of chaos. The obtained distribution fits the results of a previous nuclear shell model calculations for some electromagnetic transitions that deviate from the Porter-Thomas distribution. It agrees with the experimental reduced transition probabilities for the 26A nucleus better than the commonly used chi-squared distribution.

description: Perceptions of others’ social characteristics are essential for guiding social behaviour and decision making. Recent research has demonstrated that increased facial redness facilitates both positive (e.g. health, attractiveness, happiness) and negative (e.g. dominance, anger) social evaluations. Given that similar facial colouration can lead to diverging evaluations, it is unclear how people integrate these cues to inform social decisions (e.g. approach-avoidance). We suggest that the influence of facial redness on social perceptions and decisions depends on contextual information, including facial-muscular emotion expressions. We test this hypothesis across two studies where participants view faces either increasing or decreasing redness, evaluate them on a range of social characteristics (i.e. aggressiveness, attractiveness, health, friendliness, dominance) and decide whether to approach or avoid them. Increased facial redness facilitated, and decreased redness impeded (to a greater extent), perceptions of each social characteristic. However, the extent of this influence was moderated by the muscular expression (i.e. neutral, happy, angry). Further, we found that the influence of facial redness on approach-avoidance was largely mediated by evaluations of attractiveness and health. Altogether, the current work provides nuanced insights into facial colouration’s role as a social signal that informs social perception and decision making.
Structures and Stabilities of CaO and MgO Clusters and Cluster Ions: An alternative interpretation of the experimental mass spectra

description: The structures and relative stabilities of doubly-charged nonstoichiometric (CaO)$_n$Ca$^{2+}$ (n=1--29) cluster ions and of neutral stoichiometric (MgO)$_n$ and (CaO)$_n$ (n=3,6,9,12,15,18) clusters are studied through {\em ab initio} Perturbed Ion plus polarization calculations. The large coordination-dependent polarizabilities of oxide anions favor the formation of surface sites, making the critical cluster size where anions with bulk coordination first appear larger than that found in the related case of alkali halides. Thus, we show that there are substantial structural differences between alkali halide and alkaline-earth oxide cluster ions, contrary to what is suggested by the similarities in the experimental mass spectra. An alternative interpretation of the magic numbers for the case of oxides is proposed, which involves an explicit consideration of isomer structures different from the ground states. A comparison with the previously studied (MgO)$_n$Mg$^{2+}$ cluster ions shows that the emergence of bulklike structural properties with size is slower for calcium oxide. Nevertheless, the structures of the doubly charged clusters are rather similar for the two materials. On the contrary, the study of the neutrals reveals interesting structural differences between MgO and CaO, similar to those found in the case of alkali halides.

description: A class of time dependent pp-waves with NS-NS flux in type IIA string theory is considered. The background preserves 1/4 supersymmetry and may provide a toy model of Big Bang cosmology with non trivial flux. At the Big Bang singularity in early past, the string theory is strongly coupled and Matrix string model can be used to describe the dynamics. We also construct some time dependent supergravity solutions for D-branes and analyze their supersymmetry properties.

Global phase diagram and six-state clock universality behavior in the triangular antiferromagnetic Ising model with anisotropic next-nearest-neighbor coupling: Level-spectroscopy approach

description: We investigate the triangular-lattice antiferromagnetic Ising model with a spatially anisotropic next-nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic coupling, which was first discussed by Kitatani and Oguchi. By employing the effective geometric factor, we analyze the scaling dimensions of the operators around the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition lines, and determine the global phase diagram. Our numerical data exhibit that two types of BKT-transition lines separate the intermediate critical region from the ordered and disordered phases, and they do not merge into a single curve in the antiferromagnetic region. We also estimate the central charge and perform some consistency checks among scaling dimensions in order to provide the evidence of the six-state clock universality. Further, we provide an analysis of the shapes of boundaries based on the crossover argument.
