description: This letter is part of a series of courtship correspondence between Jonathan Abbatt and Mary Dilworth (later Abbatt). The Abbatt family was a Quaker family who lived in the towns and villages of Preston, Ribchester, and Garstang in Lancashire, England. The letters chronicle the courtship, discussions of faith, local events, shared sentiments, etc. Mary sometimes addressed as Polly in the letters. Please note that the months on the letters’ dates were added as numerical values rather than the month's name (e.g. 2 Mo = February). Jonathan questions if what he felt and saw at their last meeting, was real and reciprocated. He mentions that he had tea with her Aunt Jane that afternoon, along with Alice Salthouse. His mother is also feeling better, and his brother paid him a visit.

description: Recent works show that text-to-image generative models are surprisingly vulnerable to a variety of poisoning attacks. Empirical results find that these models can be corrupted by altering associations between individual text prompts and associated visual features. Furthermore, a number of concurrent poisoning attacks can induce "model implosion," where the model becomes unable to produce meaningful images for unpoisoned prompts. These intriguing findings highlight the absence of an intuitive framework to understand poisoning attacks on these models. In this work, we establish the first analytical framework on robustness of image generative models to poisoning attacks, by modeling and analyzing the behavior of the cross-attention mechanism in latent diffusion models. We model cross-attention training as an abstract problem of "supervised graph alignment" and formally quantify the impact of training data by the hardness of alignment, measured by an Alignment Difficulty (AD) metric. The higher the AD, the harder the alignment. We prove that AD increases with the number of individual prompts (or concepts) poisoned. As AD grows, the alignment task becomes increasingly difficult, yielding highly distorted outcomes that frequently map meaningful text prompts to undefined or meaningless visual representations. As a result, the generative model implodes and outputs random, incoherent images at large. We validate our analytical framework through extensive experiments, and we confirm and explain the unexpected (and unexplained) effect of model implosion while producing new, unforeseen insights. Our work provides a useful tool for studying poisoning attacks against diffusion models and their defenses.

description: As the plastic crisis has emerged as a prominent environmental issue, among others like climate change and biodiversity loss, it has become increasingly important to examine current models of plastic governance. Studying plastic governance provides opportunities to better understand, challenge and hopefully improve upon the landscape of governance within the plastic crisis. For the purposes of this paper, plastic governance is defined as the management and regulation of plastic throughout its life cycle, from production to disposal. The plastic crisis has complex socio-political and ecological dimensions that shape both plastic's problems and potential solutions. Environmental rhetoric surrounding plastic and plastic governance fosters, as well as exemplifies, the dynamic human and ecological dimensions at play in the plastic crisis. For example, the prominence of rhetoric like "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" and recycling generally demonstrate the creation and reinforcement of waste management and consumer responsibility as the main problems and solutions within plastic governance. Focusing on Canada and the recent announcement of a national ban on single-use plastic, I explore the impacts of environmental rhetoric on the existing and developing governance landscape for plastic. By examining the use of or appeal to environmental rhetoric among state, corporate and civil actors in Canada, I apply concepts from the social science theories of critical political ecology and constructivism in order to gain a deeper understanding of the political and ecological dimensions of the plastic crisis and governance. In particular, I examine the ways in which the coproduction of science and politics informs the characterization of the plastic crisis itself as well as any potential solutions. By studying how rhetoric shapes the problems and solutions we see and emphasize, I will identify and explore norms and gaps within governance throughout plastic’s life cycle. As well, I consider rhetoric surrounding the actors within the plastic crisis and examine how identity and perception play a role in plastic governance. This research allows for deeper critique of plastic policies or initiatives in order to provide potential recommendations for advancing environmental sustainability in Canada.

description: The Pd component in the automotive three way catalyst (TWC) experiences deactivation during fuel shutoff, a process employed by automobile companies for enhancing fuel economy when the vehicle is coasting downhill. The process exposes the TWC to a severe oxidative aging environment with the flow of hot (800 °C–1050 °C) air. Simulated fuel shutoff aging at 1050 °C leads to Pd metal sintering, the main cause of irreversible deactivation of 3% Pd/Al2O3 and 3% Pd/CexOy-ZrO2 (CZO) as model catalysts. The effect on the Rh component was presented in our companion paper Part I. Moderate support sintering and Pd-CexOy interactions were also experienced upon aging, but had a minimal effect on the catalyst activity losses. Cooling in air, following aging, was not able to reverse the metallic Pd sintering by re-dispersing to PdO. Unlike the aged Rh-TWCs (Part I), reduction via in situ steam reforming (SR) of exhaust HCs was not effective in reversing the deactivation of aged Pd/Al2O3, but did show a slight recovery of the Pd activity when CZO was the carrier. The Pd+/Pd0 and Ce3+/Ce4+ couples in Pd/CZO are reported to promote the catalytic SR by improving the redox efficiency during the regeneration, while no such promoting effect was observed for Pd/Al2O3. A suggestion is made for improving the catalyst performance.

description: The rhodium (Rh) component in automotive three way catalysts (TWC) experiences severe thermal deactivation during fuel shutoff, an engine mode (e.g., at downhill coasting) used for enhancing fuel economy. In a subsequent switch to a slightly fuel rich condition, in situ catalyst regeneration is accomplished by reduction with H2 generated through steam reforming catalyzed by Rh0 sites. The present work reports the effects of the two processes on the activity and properties of 0.5% Rh/Al2O3 and 0.5% Rh/CexOy-ZrO2 (CZO) as model catalysts for Rh-TWC. A very brief introduction of three way catalysts and system considerations is also given. During simulated fuel shutoff, catalyst deactivation is accelerated with increasing aging temperature from 800 °C to 1050 °C. Rh on a CZO support experiences less deactivation and faster regeneration than Rh on Al2O3. Catalyst characterization techniques including BET surface area, CO chemisorption, TPR, and XPS measurements were applied to examine the roles of metal-support interactions in each catalyst system. For Rh/Al2O3, strong metal-support interactions with the formation of stable rhodium aluminate (Rh(AlO2)y) complex dominates in fuel shutoff, leading to more difficult catalyst regeneration. For Rh/CZO, Rh sites were partially oxidized to Rh2O3 and were relatively easy to be reduced to active Rh0 during regeneration.
Local unitary symmetries and entanglement invariants

description: We investigate the relation between local unitary symmetries and entanglement invariants of multi-qubit systems. The Hilbert space of such systems can be stratified in terms of states with different types of symmetry. We review the connection between this stratification and the ring of entanglement invariants and the corresponding geometric description in terms of algebraic varieties. On a stratum of a non-trivial symmetry group the invariants of the symmetry preserving operations gives a sufficient description of entanglement. Finding these invariants is often a simpler problem than finding the invariants of the local unitary group. The conditions, as given by the Luna-Richardson theorem, for when the ring of such invariants is isomorphic to the ring of local unitary invariants on the stratum are discussed. As an example we consider symmetry groups that can be diagonalized by local unitary operations and for which the group action on each qubit is non-trivial. On the stratum of such a symmetry the entanglement can be described in terms of a canonical form and the invariants of the symmetry preserving operations. This canonical form and the invariants are directly determined by the symmetry group. Further, we briefly discuss how some recently proposed entanglement classification schemes capture symmetry properties.

description: Conventional displacement sensors have limitations in practical applications. This paper develops a vision sensor system for remote measurement of structural displacements. An advanced template matching algorithm, referred to as the upsampled cross correlation, is adopted and further developed into a software package for real-time displacement extraction from video images. By simply adjusting the upsampling factor, better subpixel resolution can be easily achieved to improve the measurement accuracy. The performance of the vision sensor is first evaluated through a laboratory shaking table test of a frame structure, in which the displacements at all the floors are measured by using one camera to track either high-contrast artificial targets or low-contrast natural targets on the structural surface such as bolts and nuts. Satisfactory agreements are observed between the displacements measured by the single camera and those measured by high-performance laser displacement sensors. Then field tests are carried out on a railway bridge and a pedestrian bridge, through which the accuracy of the vision sensor in both time and frequency domains is further confirmed in realistic field environments. Significant advantages of the noncontact vision sensor include its low cost, ease of operation, and flexibility to extract structural displacement at any point from a single measurement.

description: This article is the conclusion regarding the participation of the Polish Military Contingent in the stabilization mission under the name Iraq Freedom in 2003. The issue presented in the article is multidimensional. The aim of the article is to show Poland’s participation in the Iraqi Freedom operation – 2003. Research methods that help in writing an article are the analysis of sources of literature and articles posted in the Internet. The main research questions covered by the article are: what is Poland’s participation in the Iraqi Freedom operation? How many Polish soldiers participated in this stabilization mission? What is the time frame of the stabilization operation? What area did the operation take place in? How did the stabilization mission end and how Poland’s participation has affected it. The results of the considerations indicate that the participation of the Polish Quota was very significant in the Iraqi stabilization mission in 2003. Poland appeared as a country very professionally trained to participate in such difficult stabi-lization missions. In addition to the good training of the armed forces that Poland sent, our contingent was very well equipped in terms of atmospheric and geographical conditions prevailing in that area.

description: We present the analysis on our new limits of the dark matter (DM) halo consisting of primordial black holes (PBHs) or massive compact halo objects (MACHOs). We present a search of the first two years of publicly available Kepler mission data for potential signatures of gravitational microlensing caused by these objects, as well as an extensive analysis of the astrophysical sources of background error. These include variable stars, flare events, and comets or asteroids which are moving through the Kepler field. We discuss the potential of detecting comets using the Kepler lightcurves, presenting measurements of two known comets and one unidentified object, most likely an asteroid or comet. After removing the background events with statistical cuts, we find no microlensing candidates. We therefore present our Monte Carlo efficiency calculation in order to constrain the PBH DM with masses in the range of 2 x 10^-9 solar masses to 10^-7 solar masses. We find that PBHs in this mass range cannot make up the entirety of the DM, thus closing a full order of magnitude in the allowed mass range for PBH DM.

description: Currently, the world’s economic potential determines the place and importance of individual countries on the international arena. Acquiring economic information becomes a priority when making political decisions, as well as supports the system of managing the state. This trend is also visible in the private sector exposed to constant attacks from competing companies. Stealing customer bases, financial results, projects is permanent practice. Business (economic) intelligence becomes more and more dominant among other forms of intelligence over the years. Its task is to carry out effective actions to protect the state, society and economic entities from possible external attacks and their destabilization. The aim of the article will be to discuss the concept of business intelligence (including its various definitions), specificity of action and evolution over the last thirty years. An important element is also the presentation of differences between the state and non state business intelligence. The theoretical and theoretical considerations are aimed at introducing the concepts of economic intelligence into the world and the attempt to define and organize knowledge in the area of economic intelligence, the genesis of the uprising and the direction of development Rzeczpospolita.

description: We present analysis of Chandra archival, pre-explosion data of the positions of three nearby (< 25 Mpc) type Ia supernovae, SN2011iv, SN2012cu & SN2012fr. No sources corresponding to the progenitors were found in any of the observations. Combining all sources with well defined backgrounds does not reveal any evidence for X-ray emission from the progenitors either. We calculated upper limits on the bolometric luminosities of the progenitors, under the assumption that they were black bodies with effective temperatures between 30 and 150 eV, corresponding to 'canonical' supersoft X-ray sources. The upper limits of SN2012fr straddles the Eddington luminosity of canonical supersoft sources, but fainter canonical supersoft sources cannot be ruled out by this study. We also compare our upper limits with known compact binary supersoft X-ray sources. This study is a continuation of the campaign to directly detect or constrain the X-ray characteristics of pre-explosion observations of nearby type Ia supernova progenitors; with the results reported in Nielsen, Voss & Nelemans (see reference in Introduction), the number of nearby type Ia supernovae for which pre-explosion images are available in the Chandra archive is now 13 and counting.

description: This paper presents an innovative structural health monitoring (SHM) platform in terms of how it integrates smartphone sensors, the web, and crowdsourcing. The ubiquity of smartphones has provided an opportunity to create low-cost sensor networks for SHM. Crowdsourcing has given rise to citizen initiatives becoming a vast source of inexpensive, valuable but heterogeneous data. Previously, the authors have investigated the reliability of smartphone accelerometers for vibration-based SHM. This paper takes a step further to integrate mobile sensing and web-based computing for a prospective crowdsourcing-based SHM platform. An iOS application was developed to enable citizens to measure structural vibration and upload the data to a server with smartphones. A web-based platform was developed to collect and process the data automatically and store the processed data, such as modal properties of the structure, for long-term SHM purposes. Finally, the integrated mobile and web-based platforms were tested to collect the low-amplitude ambient vibration data of a bridge structure. Possible sources of uncertainties related to citizens were investigated, including the phone location, coupling conditions, and sampling duration. The field test results showed that the vibration data acquired by smartphones operated by citizens without expertise are useful for identifying structural modal properties with high accuracy. This platform can be further developed into an automated, smart, sustainable, cost-free system for long-term monitoring of structural integrity of spatially distributed urban infrastructure. Citizen Sensors for SHM will be a novel participatory sensing platform in the way that it offers hybrid solutions to transitional crowdsourcing parameters.

description: The purpose of the article is to indicate that the concept of ‘security’ has not been comprehensively defined so far, despite its presence in numerous Polish laws since 1989. As a result of the lack of a uniform definition of security, there is conceptual chaos within the meaning of the term in Polish legislation. Security, as an anthropocentric phenomenon, can be defined in many ways, depending on the scientific discipline (security sciences, law, sociology, psychology, history, political science, international relations and many other sciences). Each of the sciences treats the concept of security differently. Sociology, as a science with a broad conceptual apparatus, is capable of defining security in a way that will be useful in the future legal act on national security. The authors show how security functions in selected regulations of the Polish law: acts, the National Security Strategy of the Republic of Poland and the regulation of the Council of Ministers of 30th April 2010. This allows to show that although security is a very important category in these documents, its definition does not appear there. Hence, the current systems of the Polish law needs to be significantly complemented, at least by means of the inclusions of a universal definition of the concept of ‘security’.

description: A combination of experimental measurements and numerical simulations are used to characterize the mechanical and electrochemical response of thin film amorphous Si electrodes during cyclic lithiation. Parameters extracted from the experiment include the variation of elastic modulus and the flow stress as functions of Li concentration; the strain rate sensitivity; the diffusion coefficient for Li transport in the electrode; the free energy of mixing as a function of Li concentration in the electrode; the exchange current density for the Lithium insertion reaction; as well as reaction rates and diffusion coefficients characterizing the rate of formation of solid-electrolyte interphase layer at the electrode surface. Model predictions are compared with experimental measurements; and the implications for practical Si based electrodes are discussed.

description: A comprehensive set of monthly mean aerosol optical thickness (AOT) data from coastal and island AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) stations is used to evaluate Global Aerosol Climatology Project (GACP) retrievals for the period 1995–2009 during which contemporaneous GACP and AERONET data were available. To put the GACP performance in broader perspective, we also compare AERONET and MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua level-2 data for 2003–2009 using the same methodology. We find that a large mismatch in geographic coverage exists between the satellite and ground-based datasets, with very limited AERONET coverage of open-ocean areas. This is especially true of GACP because of the smaller number of AERONET stations at the early stages of the network development. Monthly mean AOTs from the two over-the-ocean satellite datasets are well-correlated with the ground-based values, the correlation coefficients being 0.81–0.85 for GACP and 0.74–0.79 for MODIS. Regression analyses demonstrate that the GACP mean AOTs are approximately 17%–27% lower than the AERONET values on average, while the MODIS mean AOTs are 5%–25% higher. The regression coefficients are highly dependent on the weighting assumptions (e.g., on the measure of aerosol variability) as well as on the set of AERONET stations used for comparison. Comparison of over-the-land and over-the-ocean MODIS monthly mean AOTs in the vicinity of coastal AERONET stations reveals a significant bias. This may indicate that aerosol amounts in coastal locations can differ significantly from those in adjacent open-ocean areas. Furthermore, the color of coastal waters and peculiarities of coastline meteorological conditions may introduce biases in the GACP AOT retrievals. We conclude that the GACP and MODIS over-the-ocean retrieval algorithms show similar ranges of discrepancy when compared to available coastal and island AERONET stations. The factors mentioned above may limit the performance of the validation procedure and cause us to caution against a direct extrapolation of the presented validation results to the entirety of the GACP dataset.

description: In this present work, physical hydrogels were prepared by the reaction between pectin and bis (3-aminopropyl) amine (APA) using N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) as catalysts. These pectin-graft-bis (3-aminopropyl) amine (pec-g-APA) copolymers exhibited the electrostatic induced sol-gel phase transition at the predetermined pH values. Sol-gel phase diagrams demonstrated both lower- and upper- phase boundaries, corresponding to sol-gel phase transition and gel-sol phase transition, respectively, upon varying pH of the system. The phase transition depended on the APA composition as well as the copolymer concentration so that the gelation can be manipulated. The hydrogels were non-cytotoxic and exhibited the potential use for controlled release of gentamicin. Also, the antimicrobial activity of released gentamicin remained unaffected by the hydrogels.

description: A model is presented for the origin of the large scale structure of the universe and their Mass-Radius scaling law; a fractal power law, $M \propto R^D$, with dimension $D=2$, most significantly. The physics is conventional, orthodox, but it is used to fashion a highly unorthodox model of the origin of the galaxies, their groups, clusters, super-clusters, and great walls. The scaling law fits the observational results and the model offers new suggestions and predictions. These include a largest, a supreme, cosmic structure, and possible implications for the recently observed pressing cosmological anomalies.

description: Although they are the main constituents of the Galactic disk population, for half of the open clusters in the Milky Way reported in the literature nothing is known except the raw position and an approximate size. The main goal of this study is to determine a full set of uniform spatial, structural, kinematic, and astrophysical parameters for as many known open clusters as possible. On the basis of stellar data from PPMXL and 2MASS, we used a dedicated data-processing pipeline to determine kinematic and photometric membership probabilities for stars in a cluster region. For an input list of 3784 targets from the literature, we confirm that 3006 are real objects, the vast majority of them are open clusters, but associations and globular clusters are also present. For each confirmed object we determined the exact position of the cluster centre, the apparent size, proper motion, distance, colour excess, and age. For about 1500 clusters, these basic astrophysical parameters have been determined for the first time. For the bulk of the clusters we also derived the tidal radius. We estimated additionally average radial velocities for more than 30% of the confirmed clusters. The present sample (called MWSC) reaches both the central parts of the Milky Way and its outer regions. It is almost complete up to 1.8 kpc from the Sun and also covers neighbouring spiral arms. However, for a small subset of the oldest open clusters ($\log t \gtrsim 9$) we found some evidence of incompleteness within about 1 kpc from the Sun.

description: Hopf Galois theory for finite separable field extensions was introduced by Greither and Pareigis. They showed that all Hopf Galois extensions of degree up to 5 are either Galois or almost classically Galois and they determined the Hopf Galois character of a separable extension according to the Galois group (or the degree) of its Galois closure. In this paper we study degree 6 separable extensions as well as intermediate extensions for degrees 4,5 and 6. We present an example of a non almost classically Galois Hopf Galois extension of the field of rational numbers of the smallest possible degree and new examples of Hopf Galois extensions. In the last section we prove a transitivity property of the Hopf Galois condition.

description: The article concerns psychological and sociological phenomena explaining the occurrence of stadium vandalism. The authors raise the issues related to this problem: presenting groups of fans badly by the media, manipulating information for sensation or conflict between hostile clubs. They also consider the possibility of preventing deviant behavior at stadiums. It is foundation for discussion about the actual functioning of the security services during the sport events in Poland and in the world, including those events with the status of increased risk, as well as for marking the differences in the solutions applied by them and for present the factors hindering the of conducting of such events. The authors point out many conflict situations are provoked by officers looking after the order, not by the fans themselves.
