description: In many tasks humans can trade speed against accuracy. This variation of strategy has different consequences for congruency effects in different conflict tasks. Recently, Mittelstädt et al. (2022) suggested that these differences are related to the dynamics of congruency effects as assessed by delta plots. With increasing delta plots in the Eriksen flanker task congruency effects were larger under accuracy set, and with decreasing delta plots in the Simon task they were smaller. Here we tested the hypothesis for a single task, making use of the observation that for the Simon task delta plots decline when the irrelevant feature is presented first, but increase when the relevant feature leads. The differences between congruency effects under speed and accuracy instructions confirmed the hypothesized relation to the slope of delta plots. In fact, for similar delta plots in the compared speed-accuracy conditions, the relation should be a straightforward consequence of the shorter and longer reaction times with speed and accuracy set, respectively. However, when relevant and irrelevant features were presented simultaneously, congruency effects were stronger under speed set at all reaction times. For this condition, a supplementary model-based analysis with an extended leaky, competing accumulator model suggested a stronger and longer-lasting influence of the irrelevant stimulus feature. The congruency effects for reaction times were accompanied by congruency effects for error rates when delta plots were decreasing, but not when they were increasing.

description: The C-quadrilateral lattice (CQL), called also the symmetric lattice, provides geometric interpretation of the discrete CKP equation within the quadrilateral lattice (QL) theory. We discuss affine-geometric properties of the lattice emphasizing the role of the Gallucci theorem in the multidimensional consistency of the CQL. Then we give the algebro-geometric construction of the lattice. We also present the reduction of the vectorial fundamental transformation of the QL to the CQL case. In the Appendix we show a relation between the QL and the so called Darboux maps.

description: This paper is purely expositional. The statement of the Abel-Ruffini theorem on unsolvability of equations using radicals is simple and well-known. We sketch an elementary proof of this theorem. We do not use the terms 'field extension', 'Galois group' and even 'group'. However, our presentation is a good way to learn (or recall) starting idea of the Galois theory. Our exposition follows `Mathematical Omnibus' of S. Tabachnikov and D.B. Fuchs (in English, http://www.math.psu.edu/tabachni/Books/taba.pdf). The main difference is that we show how the proof could have been invented. The paper is accessible for students familiar with complex numbers, and could be an interesting easy reading for mature mathematicians. The material is presented as a sequence of problems, which is peculiar not only to Zen monasteries but also to advanced mathematical education; most problems are presented with hints or solutions.

description: We examined ocular fixations during line bisection in five patients with left hemianopia, two patients with right hemianopia, nine patients with left hemi-neglect and nine normal control subjects. Compared with measures in control subjects, the median fixation, and left- and rightmost fixations were shifted contralaterally in patients with hemianopia alone and ipsilaterally in patients with hemineglect. The fixation with the longest duration and the bisection point were also shifted contralaterally with hemianopia and ipsilaterally with hemi-neglect. However, the number of fixations and the spatial range spanned by fixations did not differ between the groups, showing that ocular exploration was not truncated in any group. Only some patients showed a previously reported directional search bias. Overall, there was no directional bias in saccadic number or amplitude. The distribution of fixations was most dense at the centre of the line in normal subjects, while hemianopic patients fixated most frequently at the ends of lines in their contralateral (blind) hemispace and at a central locus that was biased slightly contralaterally, as was their bisection judgement. This contralateral bias may reflect either an adaptive contralateral attentional gradient or a non-veridical spatial representation within the remaining normal hemifield. Hemi-neglect patients had a broad distribution of fixation peaks in the ipsilateral hemispace. Of two hemi-neglect patients with many fixations, one clustered fixations at a position right of centre, as if a normal fixation pattern was shifted rightward, while the other had two fixation peaks: one to the far right and the other near the centre of the line, reminiscent of the dual peaks of activity seen in some recent hemi-neglect models. These data reveal a heterogeneity in the routes by which rightbiased judgements of spatial centre are reached by hemineglect patients.

description: The growth of a planetary core by pebble accretion stops at the so called pebble isolation mass, when the core generates a pressure bump that traps drifting pebbles outside its orbit. If the isolation mass is very small, then gas accretion is protracted and the planet remains at a few Earth masses with a mainly solid composition. For larger values of the pebble isolation mass, the planet might be able to accrete gas from the protoplanetary disc and grow into a gas giant. Previous works have determined a scaling of the pebble isolation mass with cube of the disc aspect ratio. Here we expand on previous measurements and explore the dependency of the pebble isolation mass on all relevant parameters of the protoplanetary disc. We use 3D hydrodynamical simulations to measure the pebble isolation mass and derive a simple scaling law that captures the dependence on the local disc structure and the turbulent viscosity parameter $α$. We find that small pebbles, coupled to the gas, with Stokes number $τ_{\rm f}<0.005$ can drift through the partial gap at pebble isolation mass. However, as the planetary mass increases, particles must be decreasingly smaller to penetrate through the pressure bump. Turbulent diffusion of particles, however, can lead to an increase of the pebble isolation mass by a factor of two, depending on the strength of the background viscosity and on the pebble size. We finally explore the implications of the new scaling law of the pebble isolation mass on the formation of planetary systems by numerically integrating the growth and migration pathways of planets in evolving protoplanetary discs. Compared to models neglecting the dependence of the pebble isolation mass on the $α$-viscosity, our models including this effect result in larger core masses for giant planets. These larger core masses are more akin to the core masses of the giant planets in the Solar System.

description: This PhD is a historical geography of Edinburgh’s Calton Hill Observatory c.1811- 1888. It examines the social and geographical contexts influencing the creation of the Observatory, the activities of its practitioners, and the scientific knowledge they produced there. The PhD is primarily an analysis of what Aubin, Bigg, and Sibum have termed ‘observatory science’ – a set of practices and techniques conducted within observatories distinct from those conducted in laboratories or field sites. This analysis draws on historical, geographical, and sociological approaches to science to emphasise the situated character of scientific knowledge production and to offer a culturally and spatially contextualised understanding of the Observatory as a scientific site. The PhD argues that the urban environment and scientific networks in which the Observatory was situated acted as the primary conditions of possibility for the production of meaningful scientific knowledge by those who worked there. Chapter 2 outlines the theoretical approaches used in the thesis. Chapter 3 examines how educators and entertainers brought astronomical knowledge to the public. Chapter 4 accounts for the establishment of the Observatory and competing institutional claims over its use. Chapter 5 considers the Observatory’s publications and the administration and discipline of its workers. Chapter 6 focuses on the Observatory’s meteorological work and its institutional relationship with the Scottish Meteorological Society. Chapter 7 examines the creation and maintenance of a time service in Edinburgh and the delivery of accurate local time to the city’s inhabitants. Each empirical chapter takes up a specific geographical dimension of the astronomical and observatory sciences conducted within, and sometimes beyond, the Observatory. Thus, Chapters 3 and 4 emphasise the contexts informing the Observatory’s creation, while Chapters 5, 6, and 7 focus on how the knowledge produced there became meaningful through its transmission and circulation across space and in different geographical contexts. Making Space in the Capital is thus a geographical explanation of the production of scientific knowledge about space: it examines how practitioners constructed and used the space of the Observatory as a site for the production of knowledge about astronomy – that is, of knowledge about celestial space – and how they shared, received, transformed, and circulated that knowledge to other places – that is, across geographical space.

description: In this paper, the boundary element method is combined with Chebyshev operational matrix technique to solve two-dimensional multi-order time-fractional partial differential equations; nonlinear and linear in respect to spatial and temporal variables, respectively. Fractional derivatives are estimated by Caputo sense. Boundary element method is used to convert the main problem into a system of a multi-order fractional ordinary differential equation. Then, the produced system is approximated by Chebyshev operational matrix technique, ans its condition number is analyzed. Accuracy and efficiency of the proposed hybrid scheme are demonstrated by solving three different types of two-dimensional time fractional convection-diffusion equations numerically. The convergent rates are calculated for different meshing within the boundary element technique. Numerical results are given by graphs and tables for solutions and different type of error norms.

description: The modern time-delay cosmography aims to infer the cosmological parameters with a competitive precision from observing a multiply imaged quasar. The success of this technique relies upon a robust modeling of the lens mass distribution. Unfortunately strong degeneracies between density profiles that lead to almost the same lensing observables may bias precise estimate for the Hubble constant. The source position transformation (SPT), which covers the well-known mass sheet transformation (MST) as a special case, defines a new framework to investigate these degeneracies. In this paper, we present pySPT, a Python package dedicated to the SPT. We describe how it can be used to evaluate the impact of the SPT on lensing observables. We review most of its capabilities and elaborate on key features that we used in a companion paper regarding SPT and time delays. pySPT also comes with a sub-package dedicated to simple lens modeling. It can be used to generate lensing related quantities for a wide variety of lens models, independently from any SPT analysis. As a first practical application, we present a correction to the first estimate of the impact on time delays of the SPT, which has been experimentally found in Schneider and Sluse (2013) between a softened power-law and a composite (baryons + dark matter) lenses. We find that the large deviations predicted in Schneider and Sluse (2014) have been overestimated due to a minor bug (now fixed) in the public lens modeling code lensmodel (v1.99). We conclude that the predictions for the Hubble constant deviate by $\sim 7$\%, first and foremost caused by an MST. The latest version of pySPT is available at https://github.com/owertz/pySPT. We also provide tutorials to describe in detail how making the best use of pySPT at https://github.com/owertz/pySPT_tutorials.

description: Transport in electronic devices based on high-Tc superconductors depends critically on the charge redistribution at interfaces, since the band structure is modified on a local scale. Using the density functional theory approach for relaxed YBa2Cu3O7-metal contacts, the charge transfer into the superconductor has been studied in Appl. Phys. Lett. 90, 192502 (2007). In the present paper we discuss the systematics inherent in the local electronic structure of the near-contact YBa2Cu3O7 sites, in particular the dependence on the contact geometry.

description: OBJECTIVE: To examine whether a 10-year change in occupational standing is related to carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) 5 years later. METHODS: Data were obtained from 2350 participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study. Occupational standing was measured at the Year 5 and 15 CARDIA follow-up examinations when participants were 30.2 (standard deviation = 3.6) and 40.2 (standard deviation = 3.6) years of age, respectively. IMT (common carotid artery [CCA], internal carotid artery [ICA], and bulb) was measured at Year 20. Occupational mobility was defined as the change in occupational standing between Years 5 and 15 using two semicontinuous variables. Analyses controlled for demographics, CARDIA center, employment status, parents' medical history, own medical history, Year 5 Framingham Risk Score, physiological risk factors and health behaviors averaged across the follow-up, and sonography reader. RESULTS: Occupational mobility was unrelated to IMT save for an unexpected association of downward mobility with less CCA-IMT (β = -0.04, p = .04). However, associations differed depending on initial standing (Year 5) and sex. For those with lower initial standings, upward mobility was associated with less CCA-IMT (β = -0.07, p = .003), and downward mobility was associated with greater CCA-IMT and bulb-ICA-IMT (β = 0.14, p = .01 and β = 0.14, p = .03, respectively); for those with higher standings, upward mobility was associated with greater CCA-IMT (β = 0.15, p = .008), but downward mobility was unrelated to either IMT measure (p values > .20). Sex-specific analyses revealed associations of upward mobility with less CCA-IMT and bulb-ICA-IMT among men only (p values < .02). CONCLUSIONS: Occupational mobility may have implications for future cardiovascular health. Effects may differ depending on initial occupational standing and sex.

description: J. Saiki (2000) argued that, because the stimuli used by M. Behrmann, R. S. Zemel, and M. C. Mozer (1998) were confounded by symmetry, conclusions about whether amodally completed objects can benefit from object-based attention are unwarranted. Here, the authors examine J. Saiki's claim further and expand on their view of the mechanisms underlying object-based attention, suggesting that perceptual organization is the process whereby features from a single object are selectively attended. In light of this, they claim that heuristics such as symmetry and collinearity play an important role in the facilitation of features from a single object. In support of this claim, they present data from a further experiment using displays that exploit common fate, another grouping heuristic, and show that, under these conditions, the hallmark of object-based attention, a single-object advantage, is obtained for the occluded (amodally completed) shapes.

description: The thermodynamical entropy of a system which consists of different kinds of ideal gases is known to be defined successfully in the case when the differences are described by classical or quantum theory. Since these theories are special examples in the framework of generalized probabilistic theories (GPTs), it is natural to generalize the notion of thermodynamical entropy to systems where the internal degrees of particles are described by other possible theories. In this paper, we consider thermodynamical entropy of mixing in a specific series of theories of GPTs called the regular polygon theories, which can be regarded from a geometrical perspective as intermediate theories between a classical trit and a quantum bit with real coefficients. We prove that the operationally natural thermodynamical entropy of mixing does not exist in those inbetween theories, that is, the existence of the natural entropy results in classical and quantum-like theories among the regular polygon theories.

description: Objective: We ask whether subjective socioeconomic status (SES) predicts who develops a common cold when exposed to a cold virus. Design: 193 healthy men and women ages 21-55 years were assessed for subjective (perceived rank) and objective SES, cognitive, affective and social dispositions, and health practices. Subsequently, they were exposed by nasal drops to a rhinovirus or influenza virus and monitored in quarantine for objective signs of illness and self-reported symptoms. Main Outcome Measures: Infection, signs and symptoms of the common cold, and clinical illness (infection and significant objective signs of illness). Results: Increased subjective SES was associated with decreased risk for developing a cold for both viruses. This association was independent of objective SES and of cognitive, affective and social disposition that might provide alternative spurious (third factor) expla- nations for the association. Poorer sleep among those with lesser subjective SES may partly mediate the association between subjective SES and colds. Conclusions: Increased Subjective SES is associated with less susceptibility to upper respiratory infection, and this association is independent of objective SES, suggesting the importance of perceived relative rank to health.

description: Δύο πράγματα είναι σίγουρα στη ζωή. Το ένα από αυτά, είναι οι φόροι. Στην παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή διατριβή θα ασχοληθούμε με τους φόρους, οι οποίοι θα έπρεπε να αποτελούν το κύριο έσοδο για τις οικονομίες των κρατών. Αυτό δυστυχώς είναι κάτι το οποίο δεν συμβαίνει. Και ο λόγος που δεν συμβαίνει είναι επειδή το φαινόμενο της φοροδιαφυγής γιγαντώνεται σε όλες τις χώρες παγκόσμια, η φοροαποφυγή επίσης αυξάνεται με χρήση νέων και ευφάνταστων πρακτικών και η παραοικονομία ανθεί. Θα αναφερθούμε στις έννοιες των τριών παραπάνω όρων, και στις λεπτομέρειες που τους διαφοροποιούν. Είναι επίσης πολύ σημαντικό να αναλύσουμε, τα αίτια από τα οποία πηγάζει η φοροδιαφυγή και το ποιες είναι οι συνέπειες και οι επιπτώσεις της στις οικονομίες των κρατών, στους πολίτες και στο κοινωνικό σύνολο γενικότερα. Στην συνέχεια, θα μιλήσουμε για τις μεθόδους φοροδιαφυγής και φοροαποφυγής που χρησιμοποιούν οι φορολογούμενοι. Θα μας απασχολήσει το κομμάτι των εισοδημάτων από μισθούς και συντάξεις, η επιχειρηματική δραστηριότητα φυσικών και νομικών προσώπων, η ακίνητη περιουσία, ο Φ.Π.Α., οι ειδικοί φόροι κατανάλωσης, και διάφοροι άλλοι φόροι. Ένα σημαντικό μέρος που θα συζητηθεί στην συνέχεια, είναι οι τρόποι και τα μέσα αντιμετώπισης της φοροδιαφυγής. Ένα ακόμα φαινόμενο, αυτό της απάτης και δη της λογιστικής απάτης είναι κάτι το οποίο στην πλειονότητα των περιπτώσεων συνδέεται με την φοροδιαφυγή. Αυτό θα αναλυθεί στην συνέχεια από την σκοπιά της συμπεριφορικής επιστήμης. Είναι σημαντικό να γνωρίζουμε πως μπορούμε να ανιχνεύσουμε μια απάτη μέσα από την δημιουργική λογιστική και την παραποίηση των χρηματοοικονομικών καταστάσεων. Στο ερευνητικό μέρος της παρούσας διατριβής, θα ασχοληθούμε με ένα μαθηματικό μοντέλο πρόβλεψης φοροδιαφυγής. Θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε το μοντέλο του Beneish και θα δούμε ότι αυτό μπορεί πράγματι να μας δώσει ενδείξεις για πιθανότητα φοροδιαφυγής και να κάνει σε ικανοποιητικό βαθμό διαχωρισμό ανάμεσα σε φοροδιαφεύγουσες και μη εταιρείες.
Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov Model and Simulation of Attractive and Repulsive Bose-Einstein Condensates

description: We describe a model of dynamic Bose-Einstein condensates near a Feshbach resonance that is computationally feasible under assumptions of spherical or cylindrical symmetry. Simulations in spherical symmetry approximate the experimentally measured time to collapse of an unstably attractive condensate only when the molecular binding energy in the model is correct, demonstrating that the quantum fluctuations and atom-molecule pairing included in the model are the dominant mechanisms during collapse. Simulations of condensates with repulsive interactions find some quantitative disagreement, suggesting that pairing and quantum fluctuations are not the only significant factors for condensate loss or burst formation. Inclusion of three-body recombination was found to be inconsequential in all of our simulations, though we do not consider recent experiments [1] conducted at higher densities.

description: We consider some general aspects of dependence of magneto-conductivity on a magnetic field in metals having complicated Fermi surfaces. As it is well known, a nontrivial behavior of conductivity in metals in strong magnetic fields is connected usually with appearance of non-closed quasiclassical electron trajectories on the Fermi surface in a magnetic field. The structure of the electron trajectories depends strongly on the direction of the magnetic field and usually the greatest interest is caused by open trajectories that are stable to small rotations of the direction of $\, {\bf B} $. The geometry of the corresponding Stability Zones on the angular diagram in the space of directions of $\, {\bf B} \, $ represents a very important characteristic of the electron spectrum in a metal linking the parameters of the spectrum to the experimental data. Here we will consider some very general features inherent in the angular diagrams of metals with Fermi surfaces of the most arbitrary form. In particular, we will show here that any Stability Zone actually has a second boundary, restricting a larger region with a certain behavior of conductivity. Besides that, we shall discuss here general questions of complexity of the angular diagrams for the conductivity and propose a theoretical scheme for dividing the angular diagrams into "simple" and "complex" diagrams. The proposed scheme will in fact also be closely related to behavior of the Hall conductivity in a metal in strong magnetic fields. In conclusion, we will also discuss the relationship of the questions under consideration to the general features of an (abstract) angular diagram describing the behavior of quasiclassical electron trajectories at all energy levels in the conduction band.

description: This study simplifies the seven different cross-lagged panel models (CLPMs) by using the RSEM model for both inter-individual and intra-individual structures. In addition, the study incorporates the newly developed dynamic panel model (DPM), general cross-lagged model (GCLM) and the random intercept auto-regressive moving average (RI-ARMA) model. Then, using a longitudinal study of self-esteem and depression, ten different CLPMs are analyzed using robust maximum likelihood estimation. In addition, the Mplus syntax is provided as a reference for researcher. This study aims to enhance empirical researcher understanding and exploration of different CLPMs by providing simplified explanations and analyses of the ten different CLPMs, thereby promoting the development of empirical constructs and topics in the context of various cross-lagged panel models.

description: AWAKE develops a new plasma wakefield accelerator using the CERN SPS proton bunch as a driver. The proton bunch propagates through a 10 m long rubidium plasma, induced by an ionizing laser pulse. The co-propagation of the laser pulse with the proton bunch seeds the self modulation instability of the proton bunch that transforms the bunch to a train with hundreds of bunchlets which drive the wakefields. Therefore the plasma radius must exceed the proton bunch radius. Schlieren imaging is proposed to determine the plasma radius on both ends of the vapor source. We use Schlieren imaging to estimate the radius of a column of excited rubidium atoms. A tunable, narrow bandwidth laser is split into a beam for the excitation of the rubidium vapor and for the visualization using Schlieren imaging. With a laser wavelength very close to the D2 transition line of rubidium (780 nm), it is possible to excite a column of rubidium atoms in a small vapor source, to record a Schlieren signal of the excitation column and to estimate its radius. We describe the method and show the results of the measurement.

description: ZigBee network technology has been used widely in different commercial, medical and industrial applications, and the importance of keeping the network operating at a longer time was the main objective of ZigBee manufacturers. In this paper, ZigBee battery characteristics and operation has been researched extensively and a mathematical modeling has been applied on existed practical data provided by Freescale semiconductors Inc [1], and Farnell [2]. As a result a mathematical optimized formula has been established which describes battery characteristic and voltage behavior as a function of time, and since ZigBee node batteries has been the core objective of this research work, a decline in battery voltage below 50% of battery capacity could influence and degrade ZigBee network performance.

description: Magnetar's persistent emission above 10 keV was recently discovered thanks to the imaging capabilities of the IBIS coded mask telescope on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The only two sources that show some degree of long term variability are SGR 1806-20 and 1RXS J170849.0-400910. We find some indications that variability of these hard tails could be the driver of the spectral variability measured in these sources below 10 keV. In addition we report for the first time the detection at 2.8 sigma level of pulsations in the hard X-ray tail of SGR 1806-20.
