Micro-ornamentation, ultrastructure, composition and homology among early Cambrian tommotiids

description: Tommotiids are an important but enigmatic early Cambrian animal group, characterized by accretion of organophosphatic sclerites as part of a complex external skeleton called a scleritome. Previous research suggests micro-ornament similarities occur among eccentrothecimorphs, tannuolinids, camenellans, and the earliest brachiopod groups. Their taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships have remained uncertain for decades, impeding understanding of the origin and early evolution of lophotrochozoan animals. Currently, tommotiids are informally subdivided into two groups: mobile, slug-like camenellans and sessile, tubiform eccentrothecimorphs. Tommotiids are found in hyperabundance in lower Cambrian carbonate deposits across the Arrowie Basin, South Australia, which provided raw material for novel and advanced investigations. This project undertakes a detailed comparison of micro-ornamentation, ultrastructure and elemental composition of key tommotiids, primarily eccentrothecimorphs, at different scales and across sclerite types. Novel data reveal that expression of 1st and 2nd order lamination, penetrative polygonal ultrastructures (PPS), and ornamental textures are shared among eccentrothecimorph tommotiids and the paterinate brachiopod Askepasma. It suggests that the bulbous ornament and the internal PPS structures provide a strong base for sclerite articulation for eccentrothecimorphs, while these ultrastructures are weakly developed in early brachiopods. By contrast, both tannuolinids and camenellans lack these shared traits, potentially suggesting they are more distantly related.

description: This thesis explores the parallels between philosopher Herbert Marcuse’s efforts in Eros and Civilization (1955) to wed the ideas of Marx and Freud on the one hand, and the debate between Marquis de Sade and Jean-Paul Marat that playwright Peter Weiss stages, on the other, in his play The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade (1963). Marcuse’s innovations bled into the world of Weiss who, despite his own assertions to the contrary, I will argue, wrote a play that owes a great debt to the debates of his time as well as to critical theory. What is at stake in the fictional dialogues set forth by Marcuse and Weiss, as I will contend in this thesis, are basic questions about the role of fictional debate in revolutionary praxis. What work is done by polarizing or marrying two schools of thought? What is the role of the author synthesizing or bifurcating a dialectic in an era of social upheaval? These questions frame my individual consideration of Marcuse’s Eros and Civilization and equally my consideration of Weiss’s Marat / Sade. But the larger goal of setting the work of Marcuse in dialogue with that of Weiss is to consider the role of art in theoretical thinking and vice versa. Utilizing two prominent figureheads of the Left cultural moment of the 60s, this thesis argues that confrontation itself is a productive endeavor and that the two contexts dialectically bleed into one another. The worth of this project is thus to capture a specific scene of theoretical and artistic thought in the late 1950s and early 1960s, which are interconnected.

description: Understanding the usage patterns for bike-sharing systems is essential in terms of supporting and enhancing operational planning for such schemes. Studies have demonstrated how factors such as weather conditions influence the number of bikes that should be available at bike-sharing stations at certain times during the day. However, the influences of these factors usually vary over the course of a day, and if there is good temporal resolution, there could also be significant effects only for some hours/minutes (rush hours, the hours when shops are open, and so forth). Thus, in this paper, an analysis of Helsinki's bike-sharing data from 2017 is conducted that considers full temporal and spatial resolutions. Moreover, the data are available at a very high frequency. Hence, the station hire data is analysed in a spatiotemporal functional setting, where the number of bikes at a station is defined as a continuous function of the time of day. For this completely novel approach, we apply a functional spatiotemporal hierarchical model to investigate the effect of environmental factors and the magnitude of the spatial and temporal dependence. Challenges in computational complexity are faced using a bootstrapping approach. The results show the necessity of splitting the bike-sharing stations into two clusters based on the similarity of their spatiotemporal functional observations in order to model the station hire data of Helsinki's bike-sharing system effectively. The estimated functional influences of the proposed factors are different for the two clusters. Moreover, the estimated parameters reveal high random effects in the data that are not explained by the mean of the process. In this random-effects model, the temporal autoregressive parameter dominates the spatial dependence.

description: Bijunctions are three-terminal Josephson junctions where three superconductors are connected by a single weak link made of a metallic region or of quantum dots. Biasing two of the superconductors with commensurate voltages yields Andreev resonances that produce d.c. Josephson currents made of correlated Cooper pairs. For instance with applied voltages (0, V,-V), quartets formed by two entangled Cooper pairs are emitted by one reservoir towards the two others. Theory involving non-equilibrium Green's functions reveal the microsopic mechanism at play, e.g. multiple coherent Andreev reflections that provide an energy-conserving and fully coherent channel. Recent experiments on diffusive Aluminum-Copper bijunctions show transport anomalies that are interpreted in terms of quartet resonances.

description: The industrial particle sensor market lacks simple, easy to use, low cost yet robust, safe and fast response solutions. Towards development of such a sensor, for in-line use in micro channels under continuous flow conditions, this work introduces static light scattering (SLS) determination of particle diameter using a laser with an emission power of less than 5 µW together with sensitive detectors with detection times of 1 ms. The measurements for the feasibility studies are made in an angular range between 20° and 160° in 2° increments. We focus on the range between 300 and 1000 nm, for applications in the production of paints, colors, pigments and crystallites. Due to the fast response time, reaction characteristics in microchannel designs for precipitation and crystallization processes can be studied. A novel method for particle diameter characterization is developed using the positions of maxima and minima and slope distribution. The novel algorithm to classify particle diameter is especially developed to be independent of dispersed phase concentration or concentration fluctuations like product flares or signal instability. Measurement signals are post processed and particle diameters are validated against Mie light scattering simulations. The design of a low cost instrument for industrial use is proposed.
The Arabic Citation Index -- Toward a better understanding of Arab scientific literature

description: The Arabic Citation Index (ARCI) was launched in 2020. This article provides an overview of the scientific literature contained in this new database and explores its possible usage in research evaluation. As of May 2022, ARCI had indexed 138,283 scientific publications published between 2015 and 2020. ARCI's coverage is characterised by using the metadata available in scientific publications. First, I investigate the distributions of the indexed literature at various levels (research domains, countries, languages, open access). Articles make up nearly all the documents indexed with a share of 99% of ARCI. The Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences fields have the highest concentration of publications. Most indexed journals are published in Egypt, Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. About 8% of publications in ARCI are published in languages other than Arabic. Second, I use an unsupervised machine learning model, LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation), and the text mining algorithm of VOSviewer to uncover the main topics in ARCI. These methods provide a better understanding of ARCI's thematic structure. Next, I discuss how ARCI can complement global standards in the context of a more inclusive research evaluation. Finally, I suggest a few research opportunities after discussing the findings of this study.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the standard model of particle physics, photons are mass-less particles with a particular dispersion relation. Tests of this claim at different scales are both interesting and important. Experiments in territory labs and several exterritorial tests have put some upper limits on photon mass, e.g. torsion balance experiment in the lab shows that photon mass should be smaller than $1.2\times 10^{-51}\rm g$. In this work, this claim is tested at a cosmological scale by looking at strong gravitational lensing data available and an upper limit of $8.71\times 10^{-39}$g on photon mass was given. Observations of energy-dependent gravitational lensing with not yet available higher accuracy astrometry instruments may constrain photon mass better.

description: In the present investigation, different concentrations (150, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mg/L) of nanoscale zinc oxide (ZnO) and boron (B) were applied through foliar spray (pot culture) to evaluate their effects on the growth and biochemical parameters of peanut. Nanoscale zinc oxide and nano boron were prepared using modified oxalate decomposition and encapsulation methods, respectively, and were characterized using techniques such as, X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average size (37.2 nm, 53.6 nm) and zeta potential (−37.7 mV, −28.3 mV) of nano ZnO and nano boron were measured, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FT-IR) studies revealed the functional groups that are present in the hydrosols. Highest germination percentage (98.7% and 96%), seedling vigor index (2359 and 1325) and total chlorophyll content (3.28 and 2.24 mg g−1) were recorded at 500 mg/L of nano zinc oxide and nano boron. Significantly higher peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymatic activities, pod yield (39.76 g pot−1 and 38.14 g pot−1) and haulm yield (49.56 g pot−1 and 47.05 g pot−1) were also recorded with the application of nano ZnO and boron @ 500 mg/L. Translocation of nanoscale nutrients through stomata was clearly observed. Significant nutrient uptake with the foliar application of nanoscale nutrients has been recorded. The performance of groundnut (in terms of yield, quality and nutrient uptake) was significantly enhanced with the application of nanoscale nutrients and this point to achieving the nutrient bio-fortification with the desired levels for the betterment of human health.

description: Several studies have shown a heightened inflammatory state in frail older adults, marked by high serum levels of interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein and an increased number of circulating leukocytes. Activation of monocytes and macrophages, marked by increased levels of neopterin, may contribute to chronic inflammation in the frail older adult. However, the reduced mononuclear cell response to lipopolysaccharide in vitro suggests the existence of defective activation pathways within the innate immune system possibly due to desensitization. Conversely, the expansion of CD8+ T cells, and specifically those expressing the CCR5 chemokine receptor, above and beyond the levels observed in senescence, points to the involvement of adaptive immune pathways. In line with these observations, frail older adults exhibit a reduced antibody response to pneumococcal and influenza vaccines. Collectively, these observations support the existence of a dysregulated immune system in frail older adults and highlight the need for strategies to improve its function.

description: We show that the class of bicircular matroids has only a finite number of excluded minors. Key tools used in our proof include representations of matroids by biased graphs and the recently introduced class of quasi-graphic matroids. We show that if $N$ is an excluded minor of rank at least ten, then $N$ is quasi-graphic. Several small excluded minors are quasi-graphic. Using biased-graphic representations, we find that $N$ already contains one of these. We also provide an upper bound, in terms of rank, on the number of elements in an excluded minor, so the result follows.

description: Employing paraphrasing tools to conceal plagiarized text is a severe threat to academic integrity. To enable the detection of machine-paraphrased text, we evaluate the effectiveness of five pre-trained word embedding models combined with machine-learning classifiers and eight state-of-the-art neural language models. We analyzed preprints of research papers, graduation theses, and Wikipedia articles, which we paraphrased using different configurations of the tools SpinBot and SpinnerChief. The best-performing technique, Longformer, achieved an average F1 score of 81.0% (F1=99.7% for SpinBot and F1=71.6% for SpinnerChief cases), while human evaluators achieved F1=78.4% for SpinBot and F1=65.6% for SpinnerChief cases. We show that the automated classification alleviates shortcomings of widely-used text-matching systems, such as Turnitin and PlagScan. To facilitate future research, all data, code, and two web applications showcasing our contributions are openly available at https://github.com/jpwahle/iconf22-paraphrase.

description: Microwave (MW) absorption properties of materials is of high importance as high-frequency, high-power electronics for 5G and other high-speed communications become mainstream. The nature of MW and matter interaction is not entirely understood and explored in atomistic details. Molecular Dynamic Simulation (MDS) can be a powerful tool to be used in this regard. This study explores the dynamics of microwave interaction with materials used in advanced electronics such as silicon carbide, using Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) software. MW absorption properties for water was first characterized through the MDS study, which was found to be conforming with previous results. MDS of MW radiation on silicon carbide (SiC) characterized its various absorption properties. The study revealed the temperature evolution during the MW absorption of SiC under various amplitudes and frequencies of the applied MW electric field. We also find that MW heating rates depend on the direction of the MW radiation and the crystallographic orientation of substrate surfaces. The SiC crystal slab bounded by surfaces along (001) crystallographic direction shows a significantly faster heating rate when the MW field is applied parallel to the surface than when applied perpendicular. The (111) crystal surface exhibits the highest stability under MW radiation from any direction.

This is a problem to academic integrity, as it is difficult to differentiate between original and machine-generated content. We propose a benchmark consisting of paraphrased articles using recent language models relying on the Transformer architecture. Our contribution fosters future research of paraphrase detection systems as it offers a large collection of aligned original and paraphrased documents, a study regarding its structure, classification experiments with state-of-the-art systems, and we make our findings publicly available.

Patin fish, known for its rich nutritional value, serves as a primary resource for creating innovative and marketable food products. The project is conducted in Sungai Bakau Village, where community members are introduced to the benefits of utilizing Patin fish in daily diets. Through a series of workshops, participants learn various processing techniques, including proper fish handling, preparation, seasoning, and forming the fish into nuggets and fishballs. These training sessions emphasize hygienic production methods and food safety to ensure the creation of high-standard products suitable for local and regional markets. The initiative also aims to increase the economic potential of Patin fish farming in the area by adding value to the fish through these processed products. By creating marketable food items, the project helps to diversify income sources for local fishermen and entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the project underscores the importance of high-protein foods in promoting public health, particularly in rural communities. The resulting products are expected to appeal to a wide audience due to their convenience, nutritional benefits, and alignment with local culinary preferences. Ultimately, the project not only supports sustainable fisheries management but also contributes to food security and economic resilience in Sungai Bakau Village.

description: With the advent of direct models in automatic speech recognition (ASR), the formerly prevalent frame-wise acoustic modeling based on hidden Markov models (HMM) diversified into a number of modeling architectures like encoder-decoder attention models, transducer models and segmental models (direct HMM). While transducer models stay with a frame-level model definition, segmental models are defined on the level of label segments directly. While (soft-)attention-based models avoid explicit alignment, transducer and segmental approach internally do model alignment, either by segment hypotheses or, more implicitly, by emitting so-called blank symbols. In this work, we prove that the widely used class of RNN-Transducer models and segmental models (direct HMM) are equivalent and therefore show equal modeling power. It is shown that blank probabilities translate into segment length probabilities and vice versa. In addition, we provide initial experiments investigating decoding and beam-pruning, comparing time-synchronous and label-/segment-synchronous search strategies and their properties using the same underlying model.

description: Subword units are commonly used for end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR), while a fully acoustic-oriented subword modeling approach is somewhat missing. We propose an acoustic data-driven subword modeling (ADSM) approach that adapts the advantages of several text-based and acoustic-based subword methods into one pipeline. With a fully acoustic-oriented label design and learning process, ADSM produces acoustic-structured subword units and acoustic-matched target sequence for further ASR training. The obtained ADSM labels are evaluated with different end-to-end ASR approaches including CTC, RNN-Transducer and attention models. Experiments on the LibriSpeech corpus show that ADSM clearly outperforms both byte pair encoding (BPE) and pronunciation-assisted subword modeling (PASM) in all cases. Detailed analysis shows that ADSM achieves acoustically more logical word segmentation and more balanced sequence length, and thus, is suitable for both time-synchronous and label-synchronous models. We also briefly describe how to apply acoustic-based subword regularization and unseen text segmentation using ADSM.

description: The electronic and optical properties of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present a strong dependence on their size and geometry. We tackle this issue by analyzing the spectral features of two prototypical classes of PAHs, belonging to D6h and D2h symmetry point groups and related to coronene as multifunctional seed. While the size variation induces an overall red shift of the spectra and a redistribution of the oscillator strength between the main peaks, a lower molecular symmetry is responsible for the appearance of new optical features. Along with broken molecular orbital degeneracies, optical peaks split and dark states are activated in the low-energy part of the spectrum. Supported by a systematic analysis of the composition and the character of the optical transitions, our results contribute in shedding light to the mechanisms responsible for spectral modifications in the visible and near UV absorption bands of medium-size PAHs.

description: The major objective of the work is to explore the mechanical properties of biphasic calcium phosphates (BCP), a biomaterial derived from marine resources like prawn (Fenneropenaeus Indicus) shell biowaste through wet chemical treatment of CaO. We report the BCP, a mixture of hydroxyapatite and octa calcium phosphate from prawn shell biowaste using wet chemical synthesis at 80°C under pH 10. XRD of BCP revealed the coexistence of secondary phases like β-TCP and α-TCP along with HA upon sintering at different temperatures. Furthermore, the SEM and EDS opened well-sintered uniaxial grains and the presence of trace elements like Fe, Mg, Si, and Na. The specimens sintered at 1100°C showed the highest compression strength of 56.8 MPa due to MgO at the grain boundaries, which plays an important role in grain boundary diffusion. Therefore, the prawn shell biowaste-derived BCP has good mechanical properties, making them suitable materials for high-strength bone substitutes.

description: The article examines attitude of the Lutheran Church towards baptisms as reflextion of the ecumenical relations. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland is a historical majority church with official theological dialogues with Roman Catholic, Orthodox, historical Protestant and Anglican churches and churches influenced by the Anabaptist tradition. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria in Russia is a growing historical minority church in a country where Orthodox churches have been dominant. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Thailand is a growing minority church in an overwhelmingly Buddhist country. It is also a minority among Christians. In spite of the differences in their contextual settings, all of them share similar stands in questions concerning baptism and ecumenical relations. In all three cases the Lutheran churches accept the baptism of other churches. This is stated in their Constitutions and Church Orders. This way they identify themselves as part of the Church Universal. Baptism is not usually a problem in their relation to Roman Catholic, Orthodox and historical Protestant churches. Only the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland has had official theological dialogues with churches drawing from Anabaptist tradition, but the others interact with churches with this tradition. These interactions are mainly not recorded. Re-baptisms have created tension between Lutherans and Pentecostals in Finland. In Thailand, re-baptisms were a controversy in the 1960s and 1970s prior to the beginning of Lutheran ministry.

description: Digital History. There is a rich and diverse range of German-speaking journals in the field of history and civics education. The usual forms of assuring formalised scientific quality are well-established. Now it may seem to the observer that there is no lack of publication opportunities, but rather of texts worth reading and able to stimulate discussion. The excessive demand for materials by editorial boards is distinctly augmented by the plethora of themed volumes appearing on all fronts. However, this large-scale production of texts also raises the question of who is supposed to read all these publications attentively. Seemingly, therefore, it would not be feasible to launch yet another journal, only to compete against the many established ones already available.
description: Digitaler Wandel. Die herkömmliche deutschsprachige Zeitschriftenlandschaft ist auf dem Feld der historisch-politischen Bildung reich und vielfältig. Die üblichen Formen der formalisierten wissenschaftlichen Qualitätssicherung sind etabliert. Dem Beobachtenden mag es manchmal scheinen, dass es nicht an Publikationsgelegenheiten mangelt, sondern an lesenswerten und diskussionsanregenden Texten. Dieses Phänomen des redaktionellen Nachfrageüberhangs auf dem Publikationsmarkt wird durch die vielen themenspezifischen Sammelbände, die allenthalben erscheinen, noch deutlich verstärkt. Diese große Textproduktion lässt aber auch die Frage aufkommen, wer das alles noch aufmerksam studieren soll? Es kann deshalb kein sinnvolles Projekt sein, den vielen etablierten Zeitschriften ein weiteres konkurrierendes Organ hinzuzufügen.

description: Equations of motion for the light-like QCD Wilson loops are studied in the generalized loop space (GLS) setting. To this end, the classically conformal-invariant non-local variations of the cusped Wilson exponentials lying (partially) on the light-cone are formulated in terms of the Fréchet derivative. The rapidity and renormalization-group behaviour of the gauge-invariant quantum correlation functions (in particular, the three-dimensional parton densities) are demonstrated to be connected to certain geometrical properties of the Wilson loops defined in the GLS.
