Effect of strength of gravitational field on the rate of chemical reactions
Creators: name: Baig, Mirza Wasif
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The magnitude of the rate of chemical reactions also depends on the position in the gravitational field, where a chemical reaction is being carried out. At weaker gravitational field rate of reaction is greater than the rate of reaction at the stronger gravitational field provided temperature and pressure are kept constant at two positions in the gravitational field. Effect of gravity on the rates of reactions has been shown by formulating the rate constants from basic theories of chemical kinetics i.e. transition state theory, collision theory, RRKM and Marcus theory in the language of the general theory of relativity. Gravitational transformation of Boltzmann constant and energy quantum levels of molecules has been developed quantum mechanically. Gravitational transformation of thermodynamic state functions has been formulated that successfully explains quasi-equilibrium existing between reactants and activated complex; at different gravitational fields. Gravitational mass dilation has been developed that explains at higher gravitational fields the transition states possess more kinetic energy to sweep translation on the reaction coordinate, resulting in the faster conversion of reactants into products. Gravitational transformation of the half-life equation shows gravitational time dilation for the half-life period of chemical reactions and thus renders the general theory of relativity and present theory are in accord with each other.

description: This paper explores the practice of participatory design (PD) in the process of designing functionally and technically complex buildings, exemplified through the case study of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in Pristina (Kosovo), a building that conducts and promotes scientific discoveries. Functional complexity refers to the number and diversity of functions the building needs to accommodate, while technical complexity refers to the degree of sophistication and intricacy in the building's systems and components. Participatory design can be a valuable design approach in designing complex buildings. The case of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in Pristina (Kosovo) is an example of how PD can be transformed into an instrument of understanding the complexity of the building by promoting a user-focused design approach and helping in designing the tools of involvement depending on the goals to be achieved. Briefing workshop, design game and choice catalogue were methods that were used while a variety of tools were designed during the design stages; some were adaptations of existing PD tools and others were designed especially for this case. The participants included a diverse ‘multiple community’ of stakeholders, comprising end users (students, professors and administrative staff), strategic partners (client, investor, project manager and executives) as well as the technical working group (engineers and technical experts). The results demonstrate PD’s transformative potential into a structured instrument for understanding, analysing and preventing mistakes in the design of complex buildings.

title: Polymer-polymer interdiffusion: a brief overview and a study outline on example of coextruded polymer films
Creators: name: Piskovets, Artem
Publisher: name: TU Clausthal
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: 620

description: A brief overview of the mechanisms of polymer-polymer interdiffusion is presented based on numerous sources. Various existing models describing the diffusion mechanisms are summarized, including the Fick´s law, theories based on the obstruction ef-fects, hydrodynamic models and free volume theories. The strengths and weaknesses of these models are briefly discussed focusing on their applicability for describing polymer melts. The layer boundaries of several combinations of coextruded thermodynamically incompatible plastics, such as PC-PMMA, PC-ABS are visualized using microtome sections and light microscopy. The boundaries were found to be clearly defined, with the interdiffusion layer not visible under light microscopy. A question is raised regarding the impact of the polymer interdiffusion on the adhesion strength between two coextruded polymer layers specifically for polymers with large solubility differences. An outline of the future study and a preliminary experimental approach are briefly described.

description: Members of a social species need to make appropriate decisions about who, how, and when to interact with others in their group. However, it has been difficult for researchers to detect the inputs to these decisions and, in particular, how much information individuals actually have about their social context. We present a new method that can serve as a social assay to quantify how patterns of aggression depend upon information about the ranks of individuals within social dominance hierarchies. Applied to existing data on aggression in 172 social groups across 85 species in 23 orders, it reveals three main patterns of rank-dependent social dominance: the downward heuristic (aggress uniformly against lower-ranked opponents), close competitors (aggress against opponents ranked slightly below self), and bullying (aggress against opponents ranked much lower than self). The majority of the groups (133 groups, 77%) follow a downward heuristic, but a significant minority (38 groups, 22%) show more complex social dominance patterns (close competitors or bullying) consistent with higher levels of social information use. These patterns are not phylogenetically constrained and different groups within the same species can use different patterns, suggesting that heuristics use may depend on context and the structuring of aggression by social information should not be considered a fixed characteristic of a species. Our approach provides new opportunities to study the use of social information within and across species and the evolution of social complexity and cognition.

Correlation bounds, mixing and m-dependence under random time-varying network distances with an application to Cox-Processes
Creators: name: Kreiss, Alexander
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We will consider multivariate stochastic processes indexed either by vertices or pairs of vertices of a dynamic network. Under a dynamic network we understand a network with a fixed vertex set and an edge set which changes randomly over time. We will assume that the spatial dependence-structure of the processes conditional on the network behaves in the following way: Close vertices (or pairs of vertices) are dependent, while we assume that the dependence decreases conditionally on that the distance in the network increases. We make this intuition mathematically precise by considering three concepts based on correlation, beta-mixing with time-varying beta-coefficients and conditional independence. These concepts allow proving weak-dependence results, e.g. an exponential inequality, which might be of independent interest. In order to demonstrate the use of these concepts in an application we study the asymptotics (for growing networks) of a goodness of fit test in a dynamic interaction network model based on a Cox-type model for counting processes. This model is then applied to bike-sharing data.

description: In the dynamic and high pressure environment of health care, the wellbeing and productivity ofhospital employees are critical not only for the success of the organization but also for safety andsatisfaction of the patients. Happiness is “an emotional or affective state that is characterized byfeelings of enjoyment and satisfaction, which is often equated with morale, contentment, well-being,life satisfaction, successful aging, quality of life, and the good life.” Employee wellbeing is interlinkedwith physical, mental, emotional and economical fulfillment. The state of being satisfied with the joband its environment both internal and external is considered to be a constituent of employee wellbeingand happiness. The hospital employees and their satisfaction have direct impact with thecustomers services. The hospital employees are the important stake holder of the business. The happyemployee will ensure quality service to the patients and make them happy and unhappy employeemake some mistakes or near miss or an error which may end up in unpredictable loss to the patientsand organization. The patients and attenders were very sensitive towards the kind of service given bythe hospital staff. The hospital is the residential establishment providing preventive, diagnostic,curative, and rehabilitative services through the inpatient and outpatient departments. The hospitalfunctions only with the hands of its employees.The study was conducted at a multispecialty hospital in the Madurai district of Tamil Nadu, India. Itcovers the paramedical staff working in the hospital. The researcher collected the information fromthe data sheets, which consist of 25 variables related to employee well-being. The employees rated thevariables with a 1 to 5 Likert rating scale from „highly unsatisfied" to „highly satisfied". 100 sampleswere taken for the study.

description: We estimate the black hole spin parameter in GRS 1915+105 using the continuum-fitting method with revised mass and inclination constraints based on the very long baseline interferometric parallax measurement of the distance to this source. We fit Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations selected to be accretion disk-dominated spectral states as described in McClintock et al. (2006) and Middleton et al. (2006), which previously gave discrepant spin estimates with this method. We find that, using the new system parameters, the spin in both datasets increased, providing a best-fit spin of $a_*=0.86$ for the Middleton et al. data and a poor fit for the McClintock et al. dataset, which becomes pegged at the BHSPEC model limit of $a_*=0.99$. We explore the impact of the uncertainties in the system parameters, showing that the best-fit spin ranges from $a_*= 0.4$ to 0.99 for the Middleton et al. dataset and allows reasonable fits to the McClintock et al. dataset with near maximal spin for system distances greater than $\sim 10$ kpc. We discuss the uncertainties and implications of these estimates.

Semi-Parametric Estimation of Incubation and Generation Times by Means of Laguerre Polynomials

description: In epidemics many interesting quantities, like the reproduction number, depend on the incubation period (time from infection to symptom onset) and/or the generation time (time until a new person is infected from another infected person). Therefore, estimation of the distribution of these two quantities is of distinct interest. However, this is a challenging problem since it is normally not possible to obtain precise observations of these two variables. Instead, in the beginning of a pandemic, it is possible to observe for infection pairs the time of symptom onset for both people as well as a window for infection of the first person (e.g. because of travel to a risk area). In this paper we suggest a simple semi-parametric sieve-estimation method based on Laguerre-Polynomials for estimation of these distributions. We provide detailed theory for consistency and illustrate the finite sample performance for small datasets via a simulation study.

description: In statistical network analysis it is common to observe so called interaction data. Such data is characterized by actors forming the vertices and interacting along edges of the network, where edges are randomly formed and dissolved over the observation horizon. In addition covariates are observed and the goal is to model the impact of the covariates on the interactions. We distinguish two types of covariates: global, system-wide covariates (i.e. covariates taking the same value for all individuals, such as seasonality) and local, dyadic covariates modeling interactions between two individuals in the network. Existing continuous time network models are extended to allow for comparing a completely parametric model and a model that is parametric only in the local covariates but has a global non-parametric time component. This allows, for instance, to test whether global time dynamics can be explained by simple global covariates like weather, seasonality etc. The procedure is applied to a bike-sharing network by using weather and weekdays as global covariates and distances between the bike stations as local covariates.

description: Given two graphs $G, H$ and a positive integer $q$, an $(H,q)$-coloring of $G$ is an edge-coloring of $G$ such that every copy of $H$ in $G$ receives at least $q$ distinct colors. The bipartite Erdős-Gyárfás function $r(K_{n,n}, K_{s,t}, q)$ is defined to be the minimum number of colors needed for $K_{n,n}$ to have a $(K_{s,t}, q)$-coloring. For balanced complete bipartite graphs $K_{p,p}$, the function $r(K_{n,n}, K_{p,p}, q)$ was studied systematically in [Axenovich, Füredi and Mubayi, {\it J. Combin. Theory Ser. B} {\bf 79} (2000), 66--86]. In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of this function for complete bipartite graphs $K_{s,t}$ that are not necessarily balanced. Our main results deal with thresholds and lower and upper bounds for the growth rate of this function, in particular for (sub)linear and (sub)quadratic growth. We also obtain new lower bounds for the balanced bipartite case, and improve several results given by Axenovich, Füredi and Mubayi. Our proof techniques are based on an extension to bipartite graphs of the recently developed Color Energy Method by Pohoata and Sheffer and its refinements, and a generalization of an old result due to Corrádi.

description: The spectral propinquity is a distance, up to unitary equivalence, on the class of metric spectral triples. We prove in this paper that if a sequence of metric spectral triples converges for the propinquity, then the spectra of the Dirac operators for these triples do converge to the spectrum of the Dirac operator at the limit. We obtain this result by first proving that, in an appropriate sense induced by some natural metric, the bounded, continuous functional calculi defined by the Dirac operators also converge. As an application of our work, we see, in particular, that action functionals of a wide class of metric spectral triples are continuous for the spectral propinquity, which clearly connects convergence for the spectral propinquity with the applications of noncommutative geometry to mathematical physics. This fact is a consequence of results on the continuity of the multiplicity of eigenvalues of Dirac operators. In particular, we formalize convergence of adjoinable operators of different C*-correspondences, endowed with appropriate quantum metric data.

description: Agent-based and activity-based models for simulating transportation systems have attracted significant attention in recent years. Few studies, however, include a detailed representation of active modes of transportation - such as walking and cycling - at a city-wide level, where dominating motorised modes are often of primary concern. This paper presents an open workflow for creating a multi-modal agent-based and activity-based transport simulation model, focusing on Greater Melbourne, and including the process of mode choice calibration for the four main travel modes of driving, public transport, cycling and walking. The synthetic population generated and used as an input for the simulation model represented Melbourne's population based on Census 2016, with daily activities and trips based on the Victoria's 2016-18 travel survey data. The road network used in the simulation model includes all public roads accessible via the included travel modes. We compared the output of the simulation model with observations from the real world in terms of mode share, road volume, travel time, and travel distance. Through these comparisons, we showed that our model is suitable for studying mode choice and road usage behaviour of travellers.

description: In this work, we construct a representation of the Virasoro algebra in the canonical Hilbert space associated to Liouville conformal field theory. The study of the Virasoro operators is performed through the introduction of a new family of Markovian dynamics associated to holomorphic vector fields defined in the disk. As an output, we show that the Hamiltonian of Liouville conformal field theory can be diagonalized through the action of the Virasoro algebra. This enables to show that the scattering matrix of the theory is diagonal and that the family of the so-called primary fields (which are eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian) admits an analytic extension to the whole complex plane, as conjectured in the physics literature.

description: As a rising task, panoptic segmentation is faced with challenges in both semantic segmentation and instance segmentation. However, in terms of speed and accuracy, existing LiDAR methods in the field are still limited. In this paper, we propose a fast and high-performance LiDAR-based framework, referred to as Panoptic-PHNet, with three attractive aspects: 1) We introduce a clustering pseudo heatmap as a new paradigm, which, followed by a center grouping module, yields instance centers for efficient clustering without object-level learning tasks. 2) A knn-transformer module is proposed to model the interaction among foreground points for accurate offset regression. 3) For backbone design, we fuse the fine-grained voxel features and the 2D Bird's Eye View (BEV) features with different receptive fields to utilize both detailed and global information. Extensive experiments on both SemanticKITTI dataset and nuScenes dataset show that our Panoptic-PHNet surpasses state-of-the-art methods by remarkable margins with a real-time speed. We achieve the 1st place on the public leaderboard of SemanticKITTI and leading performance on the recently released leaderboard of nuScenes.

We use this hardness result to prove that the the square of the character is not contained in $\#P$, unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses to the second level. This rules out the existence of any (unsigned) combinatorial description for the square of the characters. As a byproduct of our proof we conclude that deciding positivity of the character is $PP$-complete under many-one reductions, and hence $PH$-hard under Turing-reductions.

description: Abalones also known as sea snails belong to the family Haliotidae. It is considered as one of the most expensive seafood consumed in many Asian countries due to its flavourful meat, shimmering pearls, nutritive value and tenderness. Abalone farming is a growing industry with over 95% of its production comes directly from culture. Declining fishery catches and high prices, particularly for export markets, have led to an increase in the popularity of abalone cultivation. On the global market, abalone is in great demand, with a 40% discrepancy between supply and demand. The two countries that produce the most abalone are China and South Korea. China also has the greatest market for dried abalone. For export, abalone can be semi-processed, frozen, dried, or canned. Additionally, abalone shells can be sold for inlay work, jewellery, and buttons. Thus, abalones have wide market and export value which makes it a profitable farming to the farmers.

description: Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) is concerned with achieving the best possible outcomes in complex scenarios involving multiple indicators, conflicting objectives, and criteria. Numerous MCDM types, including the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solutions (TOPSIS), the Best Worst Method (BWM), and the Multi-Objective Optimization Method by Ratio Analysis (MOORA), are available to address a variety of decision-making problems. In a construction project, specifically when selecting a contractor, MCDM techniques are considered one of the best ways to choose the right contractor taking into consideration the financial, technical, administrative, and other aspects which ensure the best implementation of the project. In this paper, four different integrated MCDM models have been proposed for the contractor selection at Al-Quds University. These proposed integrated models are AHP-TOPSIS, AHP-MOORA, BWM-TOPSIS, and BWM-MOORA. The results of the four integrated models were validated and compared to each other.

description: The optimal time to chemotherapy (TTC) in locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NLAGC) remains unclear. Consecutive 524 patients with NLAGC between Jan. 2010 and Dec. 2022 were identified. Patients were categorized into three groups: TTC < 6w, 6w ≤ TTC ≤ 8w, and TTC > 8w. Survival analysis was conducted using the Cox proportional hazards model to assess the impact of TTC on gastric cancer-specific mortality (GCSM) and all-cause mortality (ACM). Cumulative competing risk curves were employed to evaluate the incidence of competing events. Overall, 451 patients were included.Cumulative competing risk curves showed that the 3-year ACM and GCSM were significantly lower in the 6w ≤ TTC ≤ 8w group (ACM: 19.7% vs. 37.2% vs. 39.7%, GCSM: 19.7% vs. 35.2% vs. 38.8%) compared to the TTC < 6w and TTC > 8w groups. Compared to patients with 6w ≤ TTC ≤ 8w, those with TTC < 6w or >8w had an increased risk of GCSM (HR: 2.792 and HR: 2.343, respectively) and ACM (HR: 3.102 and HR: 2.719, respectively) after adjusting for confounders. Furthermore, 6w ≤ TTC ≤ 8w had later peak recurrence compared to TTC < 6w and TTC > 8w (Peak months: 9.7 vs. 4.3 vs. 3.1). A postoperative chemotherapy timing of 6–8 weeks was associated with better survival and delayed recurrence in NLAGC patients. These findings suggest that the 6–8 week time-window should be a key timeframe for personalized postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy decisions.

description: This school meals case study forms part of a collection led by the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition’s "Good Examples" Community of Practice. The School Meals Case Study of Denmark serves to document how the national school meals programme is organized, funded, and monitored throughout the country. The objectives of this case study include presenting an introduction to the country profile, outlining the design and implementation of school feeding programmes, describing their monitoring and evaluation processes, and highlighting lessons learned, best practices, and challenges. This case study is written as a working paper, and can be updated to reflect evolving circumstances. The ‘Good Examples’ Community of Practice supports the evidence generation of the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition, the evidence-generating arm of the School Meals Coalition. The Research Consortium’s objective is to carry out independent research across diverse sectors and generate solid, compelling, and actionable evidence regarding the benefits of school food programs to inform evidence-based decision-making on school health and nutrition policies and practices.
La escuela pública como espacio de construcción de nuevos movimientos sociales

description: At present, the hegemony of neoliberal and neoconservative thought extends its utilitarian and commercial dominance over the state and on the daily lives of people, affecting their work, their relationships and their subjectivity, which implies greater job insecurity, relations little stable, fragile social institutions and labile subjectivities. With this social imagination the possibilities for future social projects, the inherent ability to instituting democratic nature, weakens. However, the new social movements, through a reflexive praxis based on cooperation and social action, seek to recover and conquer public spaces, politicized social aspects, and exercising active citizenship. Public School, though impregnated by hegemonic powers, is an autonomous field. If it stands as public space and as an ethical-political community, can promote autonomous social movements, instituting capacity, in order that future citizens can build their own future. Two specific cases that serve as examples: School garden as praxis which articulate social movement imaginary with School; and the parent of students movement for a public school. In both cases, put in play contexts, relationships and forms of learning that allow a pedagogy of social creation.

El movimiento agroecológico en la lupa. Nuevas miradas y acciones para viejos recorridos
Creators: name: Saravia Ramos, Pablo
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: The debate on novelties within the social movements examines the theories built underneath, as well as its composition, accounts, itineraries and sets of protest, that is, it also covers the practical dimensions of the references. In this theory-practice game, the agro-ecological social movement is a reference, among others, which empowers to discuss, to examine and to question the relationship of subordination that have existed between these two fields (theory and practice). What is new here is, if one can say so, to reproduce an exercise in order to reverse the link relationship and raise questions and creative spaces starting from the practice. This implies a series of epistemological considerations aiming to recreate a space of political production from the bottom, by transforming the conventional logic of universalism into a pluriversalism based logic. Within it, there is the quest for a new epistemological reference and situated knowledge construction where the social subject is the main focus of the created scenary. According to this relationship, the agro-ecological movement is examined as a holder of experiences and practices which  allow to build link relationships between a theory under permanent construction and a practice based on the creative externality of the subjects in action.

Cuerpo, derecho y propiedad. Notas desde la política uruguaya

Subjects: Body; Property; Politics; Liberalism; Right

description: The movements for human rights have focused much of their recent claims on the freedom to decide over the body, from a speech based on the affirmation of the individual self as his owner. States and individuals appear to dispute the custody of the organism, ones justifying life as a not delegable instance of modern governmental rationality, others defending the property of the body as a condition for the exercise of their rights and liberties.
      "My body is mine" and "In my body I decide" are some of the slogans that note the emergence of the body as an ego property, whose starting point can be found in the liberal doctrines, basis of certain claims for the exercise of freedoms and individual rights.
      In this paper we present the conceptual and theoretical implications that work affirming the discourses about the right to decide about the own body, showing a liberal logic that makes the individual, at the same time, his owner and his property, and that is conjugated to a State that claimes the control of its population's destiny, and which is required to ensure equal welfare to its citizens. For this analysis we will present some significant elements of Uruguayan contemporary politics, specifically those related to individual rights of body.
