Year: 2023

description: Metabolic syndrome, atypical diabetes, cardiac dysfunctions, malabsorption, motility issues, gastroparesis, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, chronic constipation, severe cases of excessive sweating, fluctuating visual acuity and many more are frequently viewed as distinct medical conditions. However, evidence suggests that these seemingly unrelated symptoms can also also be manifestations of something very different: an underlying dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the silent epidemic that almost no clinician thinks about because its a complicated issue that is horribly under-researched. In such instances, these symptoms represent a unified pathophysiological process where involuntary commands from the ANS are relayed to target organs via neural innervation. Recognizing this potential connection is of paramount importance, as it may necessitate a radically different therapeutic approach.

The results are based on 469 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the BaBar detector at SLAC. We observe the $ϕ(1020)$ resonance in the $K_S^0 K_L^0$ final state and measure the product of its electronic width and branching fraction with about 3% uncertainty. We present a measurement of the $e^+ e^-\to K_S^0 K_L^0 $ cross section in the energy range from 1.06 to 2.2 GeV and observe the production of a resonance at 1.67 GeV. We present the first measurements of the $e^+ e^-\to K_S^0 K_L^0 π^+π^-$, $K_S^0 K_S^0 π^+π^-$, and $K_S^0 K_S^0 K^+K^-$ cross sections, and study the intermediate resonance structures. We obtain the first observations of \jpsi decay to the $K_S^0 K_L^0 π^+π^-$, $K_S^0 K_S^0 π^+π^-$, and $K_S^0 K_S^0 K^+K^-$ final states.

description: Linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients of the two-dimensional semiconductor ring in the perpendicular magnetic field $\bf B$ are calculated within independent electron approximation. Characteristic feature of the energy spectrum are crossings of the levels with adjacent nonpositive magnetic quantum numbers as the intensity $B$ changes. It is shown that the absorption coefficient of the associated optical transition is drastically decreased at the fields corresponding to the crossing. Proposed model of the Volcano disc allows to get simple mathematical analytical results, which provide clear physical interpretation. An interplay between positive linear and intensity-dependent negative cubic absorption coefficients is discussed; in particular, critical light intensity at which additional resonances appear in the total absorption dependence on the light frequency, is calculated as a function of the magnetic field and levels' broadening.

description: Este documento é baseado na revisão de práticas participativas para a zona costeira e marinha brasileira. Desde a Constituição Nacional de 1988, instrumentos e políticas públicas foram desenvolvidos para fomentar a participação social na gestão costeira e marinha. Novos atores, iniciativas, práticas e redes de colaboração abriram caminhos para o engajamento social. Os processos participativos das últimas décadas evidenciam conquistas e desafios. No entanto, à medida que o novo milênio avança, uma frágil infraestrutura institucional ameaça a participação na gestão, em particular o envolvimento de atores com menos recursos e poder que, em última instância, arcam com os custos de uma gestão costeira impositiva (top-down). Aqui, nós apresentamos os principais resultados de uma colaboração entre pesquisadores brasileiros e alemães que revisou e analisou práticas participativas de gestão e seus desdobramentos. Como a gestão costeira e marinha no Brasil evoluiu com relação à inclusão das populações mais vulneráveis, em especial dos usuários diretos dos recursos naturais? Com base na análise de um conjunto de informações de diferentes projetos e reunindo a experiência dos autores, nós oferecemos recomendações a tomadores de decisão brasileiros, do nível local ao nível nacional, e a outros atores nacionais e institucionais (como Agências da ONU, doadores, movimentos sociais). Com base na experiência brasileira, nossas recomendações também são relevantes para outros contextos de descentralização da gestão costeira e marinha.

description: The Living with Machines project (2018-23) was a data science and digital history project between the British Library and The Alan Turing Institute. Its focus on the impact of mechanisation in the long 19th century was in part inspired by the Library's access to newspapers digitised for The British Newspaper Archive, a long-standing public-private partnership between the British Library and Findmypast. The project not only aimed to create a 'radical collaboration' within a multi-disciplinary community, but to reach volunteer communities via crowdsourcing.
This talk will reflect on the benefits and trade-offs of using sources from public-private projects for Living with Machines' work with the public and for data science analytics and derived datasets.

description: We have determined the production cross sections of the $X(3872)$ state in the reactions $\bar D D\toπX$, $\bar D^* D\to πX$ and $\bar D^* D^*\toπX$, information which is useful for studies of the $X(3872)$ meson abundance in heavy ion collisions. We construct a formalism considering $X$ as a molecular bound state of $\bar D^0 D^{*0} - \textrm{c.c}$, $D^- D^{*+} - \textrm{c.c}$ and $D^-_s D^{*+}_s - \textrm{c.c}$. To obtain the amplitudes related to these processes we have made use of effective field Lagrangians. The evaluation of the cross section of the processes involving $D^*$ meson(s) requires the calculation of an anomalous vertex, $X\bar D^* D^*$, which has been obtained by considering triangular loops motivated by the molecular nature of $X(3872)$. Proceeding in this way, we have evaluated the cross section for the reaction $\bar D^* D\to πX$, and find that the diagrams involving the $X\bar D^* D^*$ vertex give a large contribution. Encouraged by this finding we estimate the $X\bar D^* D^*$ coupling, which turns out to be $1.95\pm 0.22$. We then use it to obtain the cross section for the reaction $\bar D^* D^*\toπX$ and find that, in this case too, the $X\bar D^* D^*$ vertex is relevant. We also discuss the role of the charged components of $X$ in the determination of the production cross sections.

description: Die ersten PISA-Ergebnisse haben in der Schweiz bereits vor 20 Jahren deutlich darlegen können, dass die Effektivität des Schweizer Bildungswesen abhängig von der Integration von Jugendlichen mit unterschiedlich privilegiertem Bildungshintergrund ihrer Eltern ist. Folglich wurde damals als Herausforderung für das Bildungswesen die Integration von Jugendlichen mit unterschiedlich familiären, kulturellen und sozialen Verhältnissen erklärt. Heute steht die Thematik der Bildungsbenachteiligung aufgrund der Covid-19-Pandemie wieder im Fokus. Länderübergreifende Studien zum Fernunterricht konnten dazu aufzeigen, dass die sozioökonomisch bedingte Bildungsungleichheit Lerneinbußen bei Jugendlichen in höheren Schulstufen in der Domäne Mathematik verstärkte (Helm et al., 2021, S. 75f.). Weiter stellt sich die Frage der Chancengerechtigkeit bei den Hausaufgaben (Moroni et al., 2014, S. 468f.). Wie die elterliche Hausaufgabenhilfe in Mathematik mit dem fachlich-fachdidaktischen Wissen der Eltern zusammenhängt, ist offen.

bio-based isobutylene

description: The project Optisochem is an Innovation Action-Demonstration Project funded by the European Union and focusing on the valorization of agricultural residuals, wheat straw and potentially other residuals of cereal production, into existing mass-market chemicals and products, such as lubricants, rubbers, cosmetics, plastics and solvents. This deliverable reports on the evaluation of several products that were delivered by the project, either bioisobutylene as a building block molecule or its derivatives like Isooctane, ETBE, Isododecane and PIBs. The focus of activities was to check whether the biobased isobutylene and derivatives would contain, or not, such impurities that are not present in the petrobased isobutylene and derivatives and which would impact the benefits of the products. Main impurities identified in the raw biobased isobutylene are sulfured molecules and oxygenates. Although these compounds are at ppm level, it may be necessary to remove them in order to get a refined biobased isobutylene. The impact and the need for refining may differ from one application to another.

title: Objectivity and moral judgements
Creators: name: Boyne, Christopher William
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: The assumption that moral judgements could never be objective stems from a series of misunderstandings about objectivity itself. Objectivity is misleadingly identified with true judgements, or with judgements about material objects, and seen as exclusive to empirical judgements. But what makes an empirical judgement objective is itself hardly better understood. In particular, the legacy of empiricism, the belief that the justification for the objectivity of empirical judgements must lie within individual experience, is inadequate. And the account which must replace it is one that makes our normal agreement about the conclusions of our fundamental judgements a precondition of their intelligibility. This account is applicable not only to the field of empirical judgements, but to any area of judgement where questions of justification can arise. The assumption that justification can only be found in factual, never in evaluative, judgements is challenged, and I argue that our ability to give reasons for moral judgements presupposes that we normally agree in the basic judgements we make about what has moral value. The belief that moral judgements could be made from outside the standpoint created by this normal agreement is false; such judgements would be unintelligible. Thus morality necessarily involves the existence of a framework of fundamental value-judgements which are objective, though these judgements have only a limited capacity to determine how we ought to behave.

description: In this paper, based on the coupled social networks (CSN), we propose a hybrid algorithm to nonlinearly integrate both social and behavior information of online users. Filtering algorithm based on the coupled social networks, which considers the effects of both social influence and personalized preference. Experimental results on two real datasets, \emph{Epinions} and \emph{Friendfeed}, show that hybrid pattern can not only provide more accurate recommendations, but also can enlarge the recommendation coverage while adopting global metric. Further empirical analyses demonstrate that the mutual reinforcement and rich-club phenomenon can also be found in coupled social networks where the identical individuals occupy the core position of the online system. This work may shed some light on the in-depth understanding structure and function of coupled social networks.

description: This report is the third of a series of 3 which describes the evolving status of the fermentative bioIBN production towards the ton scale target alongside the project duration. Because of the public (PU) nature of this deliverable, details such as WSH composition, strain genotype and process parameters will not be disclosed in this document. Various WSH grades and IBN producing strains have been tested at the lab scale and the best combinations were transferred for scale up to P1-GBE’s Pilot Plant facility at Pomacle-Bazancourt (France). This work resulted notably in the production of the first 2G isobutene kilogram from P2- CLA’s Wheat Straw Hydrolysate (WSH), as described in a previous public report published at M12 (Deliverable D3.1). Additional kilograms were produced at the pilot plant afterwards. Then the process was transferred to GBE’s Demo Plant facility in Leuna (Germany). This facility includes a fermentation unit comprising a 500L seed fermenter and a 5000L production fermenter, a purification unit allowing for IBN purification and condensation and a storage unit. Scale-up runs at the Demo scale in Leuna with WSH started in Q4 2018. During year 2021, GBE transferred the 5000L vessel from Leuna to Pomacle-Bazancourt so as to pool together Pilpot and Demo operations. Demo activities during RP3 were executed partly in Leuna, partly in Pomacle. During the project duration, 202 IBN-production fermentation runs were executed by P1-GBE, either at pilot scale or at demo scale, either with WSH substrate or with benchmark substrate, either for the project activities or for out-of-project activities. Bio-IBN was delivered by P1-GBE to P3-INE for experimentation. During the project duration, BioIBN was also delivered by P1-GBE to other places for out-of-project activities. This report displays the bio-IBN quantities that were produced and the outcome of these quantities as well as it states the achievement of Milestone 12.

Surrounding material effect on measurement of thunderstorm-related neutrons

description: Observations of strong flux of low-energy neutrons were made by $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ counters during thunderstorms [Gurevich et al (Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 125001, 2012)]. How the unprecedented enhancements were produced remains elusive. To better elucidate the mechanism, a simulation study of surrounding material impacts on measurement by $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ counters was performed with GEANT4. It was found that unlike previously thought, a $^3\mathrm{He}$ counter had a small sensitivity to high-energy gamma rays because of inelastic interaction with its cathode-tube materials (Al or stainless steel). A $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ counter with the intrinsic small sensitivity, if surrounded by thick materials, would largely detect thunderstorm-related gamma rays rather than those neutrons produced via photonuclear reaction in the atmosphere. On the other hand, the counter, if surrounded by thin materials and located away from a gamma-ray source, would observe neutron signals with little gamma-ray contamination. Compared with the Gurevich measurement, the present work allows us to deduce that the enhancements are attributable to gamma rays, if their observatory was very close to or inside a gamma-ray emitting region in thunderclouds.

description: Aside from the grand-design stellar spirals appearing in the disk of M81, a pair of stellar spiral arms situated well inside the bright bulge of M81 has been recently discovered by Kendall et al. (2008). The seemingly unrelated pairs of spirals pose a challenge to the theory of spiral density waves. To address this problem, we have constructed a three component model for M81, including the contributions from a stellar disk, a bulge, and a dark matter halo subject to observational constraints. Given this basic state for M81, a modal approach is applied to search for the discrete unstable spiral modes that may provide an understanding for the existence of both spiral arms. It is found that the apparently separated inner and outer spirals can be interpreted as a single trailing spiral mode. In particular, these spirals share the same pattern speed 25.5 km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$ with a corotation radius of 9.03 kpc. In addition to the good agreement between the calculated and the observed spiral pattern, the variation of the spiral amplitude can also be naturally reproduced.

description: For decades, scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) techniques have been employed to analyze shear bands in metallic glasses and understand their formation in order to improve the mechanical properties of metallic glasses. However, due to a lack of direct information in reciprocal space, conventional S/TEM cannot characterize the local strain and atomic structure of amorphous materials, which are key to describe the deformation of glasses. For this work, 4‐dimensional‐STEM (4D‐STEM) is applied to map and directly correlate the local strain and the atomic structure at the nanometer scale in deformed metallic glasses. Residual strain fields are observed with quadrupolar symmetry concentrated at dilated Eshelby inclusions. The strain fields percolate in a vortex‐like manner building up the shear band. This provides a new understanding of the formation of shear bands in metallic glass.
The role of distress intolerance and vagal function in attentional bias among daily smokers
Creators: name: Yang, Min-Jeong
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Theoretical frameworks on motivation of substance use posit that affective and cognitive vulnerabilities reinforce daily smokers to continue using cigarette as a means of affect regulation. Synthesizing extant literature on cognitive affective vulnerability and the role of cardiac vagal functioning in affective-cognitive regulation in substance use, the current study aimed to examine the role of distress intolerance (DI) and vagal function in attentional bias (AB) toward motivationally relevant cigarette cues among daily cigarette smokers. Forty-eight eligible daily cigarette smokers completed a set of self-report indices as well as behavioral and computerized tasks to assess DI and AB. Vagal tone and flexibility were indexed by respiratory sinus arrhythmia collected during both rest and a cognitively demanding task. The results showed that DI, indexed by persistence in the mirror tracing task, was associated with AB toward cigarette cues among daily smokers, partially confirming study hypothesis. Contrary to our study hypothesis, DI was not associated with indices of cardiac vagal function, which did not demonstrate significant relations with AB toward cigarette cues. Finally, no significant indirect effect of DI on AB through vagal tone or flexibility was observed. Taken together, these findings suggest that smokers high in DI, as indexed by the mirror tracing persistence, may be more prone to allocate attention to cigarette related cues. Implications regarding smoking maintenance are discussed.

description: Assessing the best treatment option for each patient is the main goal of precision medicine. The patients with the same diagnosis may display varying sensitivity to the applied treatment due to genetic heterogeneity, especially in cancers. With the aim of predicting drug response (DR) in advance, to save valuable time, and prevent the administration of ineffective drugs, computational approaches that utilize genetic features of patients have been developed.

 Here, we propose DeepResponse, a machine learning-based system that predicts drug responses (sensitivity) of cancer cells. DeepResponse utilizes gene expression, mutation, copy number variation, and methylation profiles of different cancer cell lines (each representing an individual tumor) obtained from large-scale profiling/screening projects, together with drugs’ molecular features at the input level and processes them via random forests and 2 different types of deep neural networks, to learn the relationship between multi-omics features of the tumor and its sensitivity to the drug administered.

 Both the performance results and in vitro validation experiments indicated DeepResponse successfully predicts drug sensitivity of cancer cells, and especially the multi-omics aspect benefited the learning process and yielded better performance compared to the single-omic-based state-of-the-art. DeepResponse can be used for early-stage discovery of new drug candidates and for repurposing the existing ones against resistant tumors.

description: 3DBionotes-WS is a set of Web Services providing multiple annotations oriented to structural biology analysis, plus a website interface
 including a 3D viewer for macromolecular models and Cryo-EM derived maps. The display is fully interactive with a corresponding display
 for genomic, proteomic and structural feature annotations. With the COVID-19 outbreak, easy access to quality data for the required structural
 analysis of SARS-CoV-2 and other related viruses and its interactions with human macromolecules become a necessity. We have set up a new
 section in the website aiming to collect and provide all available structural information available.

 There, we have a panel with a brief description and its role in the virus life cycle. This panels contain all known structures organized in 5
 sections: the atomic models published in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), volumen maps from the Electron Microscopy Database (EMDB),
 interactions with other proteins of the virus or with the host proteins, with small molecules (ligands) that have been identified in drug screening
 studies, and for completeness, related proteins from other coronavirus (SARS1, MERS, etc) are also collected.

description: Largo, MD is a city of 12,000 people at the intersection of the Beltway and the Metropolitan DC Blue Line. It is currently being planned as the future center of the Prince George’s County Government and the home of the new University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center. The overall site has exceptional access to transit and offers myriad ways to travel but in itself lacks appeal as a “place”. It has developed as a suburban “Edge City” on the outskirts of the District of Columbia, a simple automobile-oriented pit stop in-between the jobs and sights of the national capital and the dwellings of those who work and visit. As part of the Partnership for Action Learning in Sustainability (PALS), The Prince George’s County Department of Planning approached the University of Maryland’s Program in Architecture with a request to investigate the Largo metro site as a more fully realized transit-oriented development hosting a full mix of uses, from the new seat of the county’s government to the new hospital and residential development. The studio focused on questions of place, development, and identity while grappling with the fragmented pattern of development that currently defines Largo. The studio proposals demonstrate the potential of a new identity for the area using transit oriented design principles, restoration of the natural environment, and making Largo a “green jewel of a town” at the heart of Prince George’s County.

2G substrate

description: Second generation sugars, such as Clariant’s wheat straw hydrolysates (WSH), contain a mixture of sugars such as glucose and xylose, associated with impurities, among which are several fermentation inhibitors. With the aim of developing an isobutene (IBN) producing bacterial strain adapted to WSH, GBE conducted an extensive survey of the performance of its current strains on this type of 2G sugars. The major parameters that were investigated were (i) growth (ii) production of compounds of interest including isobutene (iii) sugar consumption. First generation sugars and synthetic mixtures mimicking the sugar composition of WSH were tested in parallel. WSH appeared to have some inhibitory impact on growth, depending on the experimental conditions, and on isobutene production compared to synthetic mixtures. The inhibitory effect seems to be mostly due to impurities, as shown by the good performances of runs conducted with synthetic mixtures. Glucose and xylose where both consumed efficiently. However, at this stage, one cannot exclude the building up of one of the sugars on the long term (several days). In order to overcome the inhibitory effect, strain adaptation was initiated, and within a few weeks, a large part of the inhibitory effect was alleviated successfully. This study will have to be pursued over the next months, in order to achieve perfect fitting. Because of the public (PU) nature of this deliverable, details such as WSH composition, strain genotype and other parameters will not be disclosed in this document.
On Repeated Measurements of a Quantum Particle in a Harmonic Potential

description: We study evolution of a quantum particle in a harmonic potential whose position and momentum are repeatedly monitored. A back-action of measuring devices is accounted for. Our model utilizes a generalized measurement corresponding to the Positive Operator-Valued Measure. We assume that upon measurement the particle's wavefunction is projected onto one of possible detector states depending on the observed result. We chose these post-measurement states to be moving Gaussian wavepackets. The Wave Function Quantum Monte-Carlo formalism is used to simulate single quantum trajectories of the particle. We show how classical trajectories emerge in course of observation and study in detail dispersion of position and momentum of the particle.

description: Als Voraussetzung für die Teilhabe am gesellschaftlichen Leben unter den Bedingungen von Digitalität werden informatische Kompetenzen gerade im Hinblick auf das Lernen über digitale Medien als unerlässlich erachtet (Brandhofer et al., 2018; Viermann & Ludes-Adamy, 2022). Dementsprechend sollten bereits Schüler*innen der Primarstufe beim Aufbau informatischer Kompetenzen (bspw. Programmieren) unterstützt werden (Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V., 2018; Kultusministerkonferenz (KMK), 2016). Da Informatik als Schulfach nicht im Fächerkanon der Primarstufe verankert ist, sind Lerngelegenheiten zum Aufbau informatorischer Kompetenzen in der Primarstufe fächerübergreifend zu realisieren. Insbesondere der Mathematikunterricht bietet sich für den Aufbau informatorischer Kompetenzen an, da eine Vielzahl mathematischer Konzepte (wie die Funktionsweise eines Algorithmus) eine tragende Rolle in der Informatik im Allgemeinen und beim Programmieren im Besonderen spielt. Programmieren stellt hierbei eine grundlegende Kompetenz aus dem Bereich Informatik dar, bei der sich durch ihre logische Struktur und deduktive Natur große Parallelen zu vielen inhaltsbezogenen mathematischen Kompetenzen aufzeigen lassen (Ludes- Adamy & Schütte, 2018, 2019). Im Beitrag wird ein Einblick in ein Dissertationsprojekt gegeben, in dem die Vorstellungen von Schüler*innen von dem Begriff Programmieren untersucht werden.

description: Das mündliche Beschreiben mathematischer Gesetzmäßigkeiten, z.B. bei operativen Veränderungen, ist ein Teilschritt des mathematischen Argumentierens (Bezold, 2009). Da das Beherrschen der unterrichtsfachsprachlichen Normen beim Beschreiben vielen Lernenden schwerfällt, ist es notwendig, die Beschreibungskompetenzen zu fördern (Tiedemann, 2020), dies gilt sowohl für schriftliches als auch für mündliches Beschreiben. Dieser Förderung sollte ein diagnostisches Handeln voranstehen (Moser Opitz, 2022). Bislang liegt jedoch noch kein Modell vor, welches die präzise Diagnose von mündlichen Beschreibungskompetenzen ermöglicht, denn das Kompetenzmodell von Bezold (2009) zum schriftlichen Argumentieren im Mathematikunterricht bietet zwar Anhaltspunkte für eine Diagnose des mündlichen Beschreibens, allerdings beziehen sich die Stufen ausschließlich auf die Komplexität des beschriebenen mathematischen Inhalts und berücksichtigen die sprachliche Umsetzung nicht. Dieses Modell umfasst zudem nicht, dass Lernende beim mündlichen Beschreiben, anders als beim schriftlichen, auf Gestik oder Alltagssprache zurückgreifen können, wenn die Sprachmittel fehlen, um über mathematische Entdeckungen zu sprechen (Götze, 2019b). Während einige Lernende noch nicht über ausreichende Sprachmittel verfügen, nutzen andere Lernende Fachbegriffe, auch ohne das dahinterliegende mathematische Konzept verstanden zu haben (Prediger, 2017). Um diese Diskrepanzen diagnostizieren zu können, kann an Meyer und Tiedemanns (2017) Vorschlag angeknüpft werden, für die Rekonstruktion der Unterrichtsfachsprache für Sprachhandlungen wie das Beschreiben sowohl eine mathematische als auch eine linguistische Perspektive zu integrieren.

description: We determine the higher codimension fibers of elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfolds with section by studying the three-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory with matter which describes the low energy effective theory of M-theory compactified on the associated Weierstrass model, a singular model of the fourfold. Each phase of the Coulomb branch of this theory corresponds to a particular resolution of the Weierstrass model, and we show that these have a concise description in terms of decorated box graphs based on the representation graph of the matter multiplets, or alternatively by a class of convex paths on said graph. Transitions between phases have a simple interpretation as `flopping' of the path, and in the geometry correspond to actual flop transitions. This description of the phases enables us to enumerate and determine the entire network between them, with various matter representations for all reductive Lie groups. Furthermore, we observe that each network of phases carries the structure of a (quasi-)minuscule representation of a specific Lie algebra. Interpreted from a geometric point of view, this analysis determines the generators of the cone of effective curves as well as the network of flop transitions between crepant resolutions of singular elliptic Calabi-Yau fourfolds. From the box graphs we determine all fiber types in codimensions two and three, and we find new, non-Kodaira, fiber types for E_6, E_7 and E_8.

Bimodality of Wind-fed Accretion in High Mass X-ray Binaries

description: We study an influence of X-ray photo-ionization from an accreting neutron star in a high mass X-ray binary. Our aim is to unveil a new principle governing X-ray luminosities of X-ray binaries, with a simple analysis of fluid equations simulating line-driven wind flow under influence of X-ray irradiation. In this study, we solve equation of motion of the accretion flow taking into account the line-driven acceleration and X-ray photo-ionization. Under the influence of X-ray irradiation, we find the flow equations take two types of solutions. The first solution is characterized by a slow wind velocity which causes a large accretion rate. The second solution is a fast wind flow which results in a small accretion rate. We find that only the solution with a fast wind and faint X-ray luminosity is a steady solution. On the other hand, slow wind solution with a large X-ray luminosity is not a realizable solution. In bright X-ray binary systems, X-ray luminosity would increase until strong X-ray reduces the line-driven acceleration and causes a stagnation of the wind. This result implies an important consequence that the X-ray luminosity of the wind-fed, X-ray emitting binary will be settled by the wind stagnation limit. At the same time, the fast wind solution with small X-ray luminosity also can be a steady state. Bright X-ray sources, such as Vela X-1, would have limiting luminosities of wind stagnation, while faint systems such a quiescent Super giant Fast X-ray Transients could be on the faint solutions.
