description: We have obtained discrete Fourier power spectra of a sample of persistent low-mass neutron-star X-ray binaries using long-term light curves from the All Sky Monitor on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. Our aim is to investigate their aperiodic variability at frequencies in the range 1 x 10^{-7}-5 x 10^{-6} Hz and compare their properties with those of the black-hole source Cyg X-1. We find that the classification scheme that divides LMXBs into Z and atoll sources blurs at very low frequencies. Based on the long-term (~ years) pattern of variability and the results of power-law fits (P ~ v^{-a}) to the 1 x 10^{-7}-5 x 10^{-6} Hz power density spectra, low-mass neutron-star binaries fall into three categories. Type I includes all Z sources, except Cyg X-2, and the atoll sources GX9+1 and GX13+1. They show relatively flat power spectra (a < 0.9) and low variability (rms < 20%). Type II systems comprise 4U 1636-53, 4U 1735-44 and GX3+1. They are more variable (20% < rms < 30%) and display steeper power spectra (0.9 < a < 1.2) than Type I sources. Type III systems are the most variable (rms > 30%) and exhibit the steepest power spectra (a > 1.2). The sources 4U 1705-44, GX354-0 and 4U 1820-30 belong to this group. GX9+9 and Cyg X-2 appear as intermediate systems in between Type I and II and Type II and III sources, respectively. We speculate that the differences in these systems may be caused by the presence of different types of mass-donor companions. Other factors, like the size of the accretion disc and/or the presence of weak magnetic fields, are also expected to affect their low-frequency X-ray aperiodic varibility.

title: Investigating the Properties of Transition Metal-Based Thin Films
Creators: name: Chowdhary, Nimarta Kaur
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: Transition metal-based thin films, including oxides and nitrides, are widely studied due to their diverse properties and applications. Among these materials, transition metal oxides (TMOs) are known for their wide-band gaps, high refractive indices, and high transparency in the visible spectrum. Due to their low cost, low toxicity, and high natural abundance, efforts are being made to modify these materials for broader application range, such as visible light absorption. Developing optimal methods for producing and characterizing transition metal-based films remains an ongoing challenge. This research investigates the growth and properties of transition metal-based films using complementary thin film deposition approaches: atomic layer deposition (ALD), and physical vapor deposition (PVD). In this work, ALD thin films were grown by varying parameters such as deposition temperature and purge time. The resulting properties were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for chemical states and composition, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for bonding and crystal structure, spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) foroptical properties, and four-point probe (4PP) for electrical conductivity. This project used a new method of adjusting the ALD deposition process to determine the optical functions, providing a complete picture of the observed properties. ALD-grown hafnium oxide (HfO2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2), grown from similar amine precursors, (X[((CH3)2N)4])X=Hf, Ti with comparable deposition conditions exhibit completely different properties. The properties of ALD TiO2 films are shown to be highly dependent on the processing conditions, particularly in the temperature range within the ‘ALD window’. These films incorporate metallic, carbon, and water-based impurities, resulting in variable optical constants at 633 nm (n = 1.7 – 2.4, k = 0.2 – 1.2) and a wide conductivity range (1000 – 30000 S/m). The properties of the ALD TiO2 films are benchmarked between PVD-grown TiOxNy and PVD TiO2 films, providing further insight into the observed behavior. Conversely, the ALD HfO2 films only incorporate carbon and water-based impurities. The resulting optical constants at 633 nm (n = 1.9 – 2.1, k = 0) and conductivity (400 – 1000 S/m) do not strongly depend on the processing conditions. The results highlight that the underlying ALD chemistry and reaction pathways are significantly more complex than is currently understood and cannot be generalized, even for similar materials. Future investigations require combined experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches. By systematically studying thin film growth using this approach, this research establishes pathways for applications in precursor design, photovoltaics, transparent conductive oxides and optoelectronics.

description: We report the demonstration of phase coherence and control for the recently developed "light storage" technique. Specifically, we use a pulsed magnetic field to vary the phase of atomic spin excitations which result from the deceleration and storing of a light pulse in warm Rb vapor. We then convert the spin excitations back into light and detect the resultant phase shift in an optical interferometric measurement. The coherent storage of photon states in matter is essential for the practical realization of many basic concepts in quantum information processing.

Astrometric Detection of Double Gravitational Microlensing Events

description: If a gravitational microlensing event is caused by a widely separated binary lens and the source approaches both lens components, the source flux is successively magnified by the individual lenses: double microlensing events. If events are observed astrometrically, double lensing events are expected to occur with an increased frequency due to the long range astrometric effect of the companion. We find that although the trajectory of the source star image centroid shifts of an astrometric double lensing event has a distorted shape from both of the elliptical ones induced by the individual single lens components, event duplication can be readily identified by the characteristic loop in the trajectory formed during the source's passage close to the companion. We determine and compare the probabilities of detecting double lensing events from both photometric and astrometric lensing observations by deriving analytic expressions for the relations between binary lensing parameters to become double lensing events. From this determination, we find that for a given set of the binary separation and the mass ratio the astrometric probability is roughly an order higher than the photometric probability. Therefore, we predict that a significant fraction of events that will be followed up by using future high precision interferometeric instruments will be identified as double lensing events.

description: We present surface photometry and stellar kinematics of NGC 4264, a barred lenticular galaxy in the region of the Virgo Cluster undergoing a tidal interaction with one of its neighbours, NGC 4261. We measured the bar radius (a_bar=3.2 +/-0.5 kpc) and strength (S_bar=0.31+/-0.04) of NGC 4264 from Sloan Digital Sky Survey imaging and its bar pattern speed (Omega_bar=71+/-4 km/s/kpc) using the Tremaine-Weinberg method with stellar-absorption integral-field spectroscopy performed with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer at the Very Large Telescope. We derived the circular velocity (V_circ=189+/-10 km/s) by correcting the stellar streaming velocity for asymmetric drift and calculated the corotation radius (R_cor=2.8+/-0.2 kpc) from the bar pattern speed. Finally, we estimated the bar rotation rate (R_cor/a_bar=0.88+/-0.23). We find that NGC 4264 hosts a strong and large bar extending out to the corotation radius. This means that the bar is rotating as fast as it can like nearly all the other bars measured so far even when the systematic error due to the uncertainty on the disc position angle is taken into account. The accurate measurement of the bar rotation rate allows us to infer that the formation of the bar of NGC 4264 was due to self-generated internal processes and not triggered by the ongoing interaction.

Up to now, no convincing afterglow emission has been reported for this short/hard GRB at any wavelength, including X-ray and optical. The combination of our early limits, with other published data allows us to put severe constraints on the afterglow magnitude and light curve. The limiting magnitude is 18.5 in R band, 88 minutes after the GRB, and the decay slope power law index could be larger than 2.2.

description: Because of their molecular sieving properties, metal−organic frameworks have a high potential for application in gas storage, separation, and sensing. However, their real-world implementation will require robust and low-cost synthetic approaches. We herein report the solvent-free synthesis of ultramicroporous α-magnesium formate (α-MgFm) based on the solid−vapor reaction of magnesium oxide (MgO) and formic acid and establish the requirement for a structure-directing agent. Translated into a chemical vapor deposition protocol, this method enables the fabrication of high-quality, pinhole-free films of α-MgFm.

description: Ultra-reliable vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication is essential for enabling the next generation of intelligent vehicles. V2X communication is a growing area of communication, that connects vehicles to neighboring vehicles (V2V), infrastructure (V2I) and pedestrians (V2P). Network slicing is one of the promising technology for connectivity of the next generation devices, creating several logical networks on a common and programmable physical infrastructure. Network slicing offers an efficient way to satisfy the diverse use case requirements by exploiting the benefits of shared physical infrastructure. In this regard, we propose a network slicing based communication solution for vehicular networks. In this work, we model a highway scenario with vehicles having heterogeneous traffic demands. The autonomous driving slice (safety messages) and the infotainment slice (video stream) are the two logical slices created on a common infrastructure. We formulated a network clustering and slicing algorithm to partition the vehicles into different clusters and allocate slice leaders to each cluster. Slice leaders serve its clustered vehicles with high quality V2V links and forwards safety information with low latency. On the other hand, road side unit provides infotainment service using high quality V2I links. An extensive Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) system level simulator with enhancement of cellular V2X (C-V2X) standard is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, in which it is shown that the proposed network slicing technique achieves low latency and high-reliability communication.

DESCRIPTION
This upper incisive shows light pigmentation on the apex and on the anteriormost part of the talon. The buccal posterior edge is rounded, gradually passing into the convex dorsal margin. The apex and the talon are placed at a sharp angle. The talon is two-cusped. The cingulum is broad and well pronounced only in the lower two thirds of the crown height. The ventral margin of the talon is slightly concave.
REMARKS
 The measurements fall within the range of variability of Deinsdorfia kordosi from Csarnóta-2 (Hungary), i.e. it is larger than the remaining Pliocene species of the genus, known from the Hungarian localities (Reumer 1984). The other overall features also agree well with the original description. Up to now, the species has been known from Csarnóta-2 (Reumer 1984), Rebielice Krolewskie 1A (cf.) (Rzebik-Kowalska 1990a), and Wölfersheim (Dahlmann 2001).

description: We propose a data-to-text generation model with two modules, one for tracking and the other for text generation. Our tracking module selects and keeps track of salient information and memorizes which record has been mentioned. Our generation module generates a summary conditioned on the state of tracking module. Our model is considered to simulate the human-like writing process that gradually selects the information by determining the intermediate variables while writing the summary. In addition, we also explore the effectiveness of the writer information for generation. Experimental results show that our model outperforms existing models in all evaluation metrics even without writer information. Incorporating writer information further improves the performance, contributing to content planning and surface realization.

description: We solve for the effective actions on the Coulomb branches of a class of N=2 supersymmetric theories by finding the complex structure of an M5 brane in an appropriate background hyperkahler geometry corresponding to the lift of two O6^- orientifolds and four D6 branes to M theory. The resulting Seiberg-Witten curves are of finite genus, unlike other solutions proposed in the literature. The simplest theories in this class are the scale invariant Sp(k) theory with one antisymmetric and four fundamental hypermultiplets and the SU(k) theory with two antisymmetric and four fundamental hypermultiplets. Infinite classes of related theories are obtained by adding extra SU(k) factors with bifundamental matter and by turning on masses to flow down to various asymptotically free theories. The N=4 supersymmetric SU(k) theory can be embedded in these asymptotically free theories, allowing a derivation of a subgroup of its S duality group as an exact equivalence of quantum field theories.

description: A simple solvent- and catalyst-free method is presented for the synthesis of the large-pore metal−organic framework (MOF) MAF-6 (RHOZn( eIm)2) based on the reaction of ZnO with 2-ethylimidazole vapor at temperatures ≤100 °C. By translating this method to a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) protocol, crystalline films of a large-pore material could be deposited for the first time entirely from the vapor phase. A combination of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) and Kr physisorption measurements confirmed the porosity of these MOFCVD films and the size of the MAF-6 supercages (diameter ∼2 nm), in close agreement with powder data and calculations. MAF-6 powders and films were further characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), pair distribution function (PDF), and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). The exceptional uptake capacity of MAF-6 in comparison to ZIF-8 is demonstrated by vapor-phase loading of a molecule larger than the ZIF-8 windows.

description: This thesis examines the interstices of translingualism and transmediality in contemporary poetry by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, M. NourebeSe Philip, Erín Moure, Caroline Bergvall, Cecilia Vicuña, and Anne Tardos, published and performed within a largely anglophone context. While the works discussed in the thesis all have the English language in common, the texts are always translingual, exploring the boundaries and intersections between different languages. Similarly, the poets all mix translingual with transmedia strategies, blending textual, visual, sonic, and performative expressions in their work. The focus is on the close reading of poetic texts and publications, albeit sometimes in relation to performative works, in order to explore the vibrancy of poetic publications after a century of transdisciplinary, transmedia and translingual experimentation. Each chapter performs close readings of specific works in order to bring out and examine the specificities of these works, which, I argue, make up a particularly vibrant moment in the history of poetry. I call the contemporary manifestation of the medium of poetry as it is enacted in the works that the thesis examines ‘the sonic text’. Using Karen Barad’s concept of intra-action as theoretical backdrop, the thesis seeks to apply a sonic vocabulary to the reading of poetic texts in order to account for the vibrancy of this particular moment in the history of poetry, where the borders and boundaries between languages and media are contested and explored in new ways. Contrary to previous translingual and transmedia experiments, sonic texts repeatedly draw attention to questions of identity and intersectionality that have tended to be contested, if not erased, in avant-garde aesthetics, discourse, and criticism. In various ways, the works discussed enact concrete and conceptual sonorities that suggest more vibrant conceptions of authorship, readership, poetic voices, and the intra-relations between these. The ‘sonic text’ accounts for these conceptions and their relationships to pressing ethical and political questions about (co)existence and identity in a world affected by globalization as well as by technological and digital development.

description: Cooperative self-assembly can result in complex nano-networks with new hyperbolic geometry. However, the relation between the hyperbolicity and spectral and dynamical features of these structures remains unclear. Using the model of aggregation of simplexes introduced in I [Sci. Rep., 8:1987, 2018], here we study topological and spectral properties of a large class of self-assembled structures consisting of monodisperse building blocks (cliques of size $n=3,4,5,6$) which self-assemble via sharing the geometrical shapes of a lower order. The size of the shared sub-structure is tunned by varying the chemical affinity $ν$ such that for significant positive $ν$ sharing the largest face is the most probable, while for $ν< 0$, attaching via a single node dominates. Our results reveal that, while the parameter of hyperbolicity remains $δ_{max}=1$ across the assemblies, their structure and spectral dimension $d_s$ vary with the size of cliques $n$ and the affinity when $ν\geq 0$. In this range, we findthat $d_s >4$ can be reached for $n\geq 5$ and sufficiently large $ν$. For the aggregates of triangles and tetrahedra, the spectral dimension remains in the range $d_s\in [2,4)$, as well as for the higher cliques at vanishing affinity. On the other end, for $ν< 0$, we find $d_s\eqsim 1.57$ independently on $n$. Moreover, the spectral distribution of the normalised Laplacian eigenvalues has a characteristic shape with peaks and a pronounced minimum, representing the hierarchical architecture of the simplicial complexes. These findings show how the structures compatible with complex dynamical properties can be assembled by controlling the higher-order connectivity among the building blocks.

description: Dolomys cf. nehringi Kretzoi, 1959 (Fig. 31A)
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 1 M3 (Ms41); LM3 = 2.02.
DESCRIPTION
M3 bears three salient angles on each side. Except BSA3, all are well developed. The BRA1 and LRA3 are deep and narrow. They persist as normal folds throughout the crown instead of being subject to reduction by insulation. The enamel is not differentiated. There are not dentine tracks. Number of roots is two.
REMARKS
 According to size, the tooth is smaller than the respective molars of the type species of the genus, Dolomys milleri (Nehring, 1898) (Méhely 1914). On the other hand, it resembles Dolomys nehringi from Csarnóta-2 both in general size (although slightly smaller) and occlusal pattern, judging from the Kretzoi’s (1959: abb. 4) illustration. The molars of this species were however not described in detail by this author. This circumstance, as well as the scarce material from Muselievo (e.g., only one M3), makes the conclusive determination difficult.

description: (Abridged) We present new results on the Hubble diagram of distant type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) segregated according to the type of host galaxy. This makes it possible to check earlier evidence for a cosmological constant by explicitly comparing SNe residing in galaxies likely to contain negligible dust with the larger sample. The cosmological parameters derived from these SNe Ia hosted by presumed dust-free early-type galaxies supports earlier claims for a cosmological constant, which we demonstrate at 5 sigma significance, and the internal extinction implied is small even for late-type systems (A_B<0.2). Thus, our data demonstrate that host galaxy extinction is unlikely to systematically dim distant SNe Ia in a manner that would produce a spurious cosmological constant. We classify the host galaxies of 39 distant SNe discovered by the Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP) using the combination of HST STIS imaging, Keck ESI spectroscopy and ground-based broad-band photometry. We compare with a low-redshift sample of 25 SNe Ia. The scatter observed in the SNe Ia Hubble diagrams correlates closely with host galaxy morphology. We find the scatter in the SNe Ia Hubble diagram is smallest for SNe occurring in early-type hosts and largest for those occurring in late-type galaxies. Moreover, SNe residing in early-type hosts appear only ~0.14+/-0.09 mag brighter in their light-curve-width-corrected luminosity than those in late-type hosts, implying only a modest amount of dust extinction even in the late-type systems.

description: G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of membrane proteins. They act as signaling molecules that transmit extracellular signals into the cell, thereby regulating various physiological functions. Upon activation by an extracellular signal, GPCRs can initiate distinct intracellular events via interaction with G proteins. Given their role in regulating almost all physiological functions and their presence on the plasma membrane, GPCRs make for attractive therapeutic targets. Through my dissertation work, I have advanced our understanding of these prospects to aid the pursuit of GPCR based drug discovery. The major focus of my dissertation was understanding biased signaling. Bias is defined as the tendency of certain receptors to be able to activate to more than one G protein depending on the nature of the activating ligand. To understand these processes, we made use of the kinin receptor system as a model. These GPCRs namely, Bradykinin 1(B1R) and Bradykinin 2(B2R) are major regulators of aspects such as pain, inflammation and cardiovascular homeostasis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this regulation are not well understood. To better understand these mechanisms, we generated a comprehensive G protein activation map of these receptors when activated by each of the four different peptide ligands (bradykinin, kallidin, des-arg9-bradykinin and des-arg10-kallidin). Forming a major group of understudied GPCRs are the orphan GPCRs whose functions remain unknown, and their endogenous ligand have not been identified. GPR162 is one such orphan receptor that has been implicated in regulating hedonic tone or an individual’s liking of rewarding stimuli. This part of my dissertation project was focused on the design and use of two different chimeric GPCR constructs of GPR162. This approach enables us to activate these chimeric constructs using known ligands in vitro allowing us to discern these intracellular signaling events. Next, to understand the involvement of GPR162 in regulating hedonic tone, we created and validated a novel global GPR162 knock-out (KO) mouse model. Overall, this thesis is focused on understudied aspects of GPCR signaling through the development and optimization of novel molecular tools to understand the intracellular signaling capabilities of the orphan receptor GPR162 and provides novel insights into the unconventional signaling mechanisms of the kinin receptors.

title: Dynamic Edge Weighting in Relational Graph Convolutional Networks: Enhancing Sample Efficiency via Graph Attention in Reinforcement Learning
Creators: name: Dixit, Prakhar
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: Reinforcement Learning (RL) has achieved remarkable success across a variety of domains, yet sample complexity remains a challenge, especially when actions are taken in the real world. To improve the effectiveness of RL, researchers have turned to deep neural networks that learn useful representations of the data that can improve and speed up the learning process. In particular, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for handling data with inherent graph structures, such as social networks, communication systems, and biological networks. Despite these advances, traditional approaches using Relational Graph Convolutional Networks (R-GCNs) often rely on statically weighted graphs, which do not adequately capture the dynamic nature of many RL environments. To overcome this limitation, in this study, we propose an integration of Graph Attention within an R-GCN framework for model-free RL algorithms called REAGLE (Reinforcement learning with Edge Attention Networks) . This technique applies dynamic edge weighting, treating connections (relations) unequally based on their current relevance. By dynamically prioritizing relations, our model focuses computational resources on the most crucial information at each step, thereby improving sample efficiency. We validate our approach across different Minigrid environments, including the Boxworld domain, a grid-world navigation challenge designed to evaluate relational reasoning capabilities. Our results demonstrate that REAGLE surpasses conventional graph-based reinforcement learning algorithms by achieving faster learning, better decision quality, and significantly lower sample complexity.

description: Background: It remains unclear to what extent patients with traumatic knee complaints aged 18–45 years seen in general practice experience difficulties with return to sports. Objectives: This study aims to determine the proportion of patients with a knee trauma that return to sports at six weeks and three months follow-up. Also examined were associations between no return to sports and baseline patient/trauma characteristics, knee complaints and MR (magnetic resonance) findings, as well as the additive value of MR findings. Methods: Included were patients with traumatic knee complaints participating in a randomized controlled trial assessing the cost-effectiveness of an MR scan in general practice. Patients were classified as ‘no return to sports’ or ‘return to sports’ (sports on pre-injury or adapted level). Potential baseline predictors for no return to sports were assessed using logistic regression analyses. The area under the curves (AUC) was compared. Results: At six weeks and three months follow-up, 147 (59%) and 175 (74%) patients, respectively, reported return to sports. Combining patient characteristics, trauma characteristics and knee complaints predicted no return to sports with an AUC of 0.86 (95%CI: 0.81–0.90) at six weeks and of 0.82 (95%CI: 0.76–0.88) at three months follow-up. After adding MR findings, the AUC was 0.79 (95%CI: 0.71–0.87) at six weeks and 0.79 (95%CI: 0.70–0.88) at three months follow-up. Conclusion: Three out of four patients with a knee trauma in general practice reported return to sports at three months follow-up. A combination of patient/trauma characteristics and knee complaints predicted no return to sports, whereas MR findings had no additive value.

Parafermions in Hierarchical Fractional Quantum Hall States

description: Motivated by recent theoretical progress demonstrating the existence of non-Abelian parafermion zero modes in domain walls on interfaces between two dimensional Abelian topological phases of matter, we investigate the properties of gapped interfaces of hierarchical fractional quantum Hall states, in the lowest Landau level, characterized by the Hall conductance $σ_{xy}(m,p) = \frac{p}{2mp+1} \frac{e^{2}}{h}$, for integer numbers $(m,p)$ with $m,p \geq 1$. The case $m=1$ corresponds to the experimentally well established sequence of fractional quantum Hall states with $σ_{xy} = \frac{1}{3}\frac{e^{2}}{h}, \frac{2}{5}\frac{e^{2}}{h}, \frac{3}{7}\frac{e^{2}}{h}, ...\, $, which has been observed in many two dimensional electron gases. Exploring the mechanism by which the $(m,p+1)$ hierarchical state is generated from the condensation of quasiparticles of the ``parent" state $(m,p)$, we uncover a remarkably rich sequence of parafermions in hierarchical interfaces whose quantum dimension $d_{m,p}$ depends both upon the total quantum dimension $\mathcal{D}_{m,p} = \sqrt{2mp+1}$ of the bulk Abelian phase, as well as on the parity of the ``hierarchy level" $p$, which we associate with the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ stability of Majorana zero modes in one dimensional topological superconductors. We show that these parafermions reside on domain walls separating segments of the interface where the low energy modes are gapped by two distinct mechanisms: (1) a charge neutral backscattering process or (2) an interaction that breaks $U(1)$ charge conservation symmetry and stabilizes a condensate whose charge depends on $p$. Remarkably, this charge condensate corresponds to a clustering of quasiparticles of fractional charge $\frac{p}{2mp+1}\,e$, allowing us to draw a correspondence between these fractionalized condensates and Read-Rezayi non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall cluster states.

description: We show that the resolution "per absorbed particle" of standard absorption tomography can be outperformed by a simple interferometric setup, provided that the different levels of "gray" in the sample are not uniformly distributed. The technique hinges upon the quantum Zeno effect and has been tested in numerical simulations. The scheme we propose could be implemented in experiments with UV-light, neutrons or X-rays.
