description: In the optical spectra of the cold post-AGB supergiant GSC 04050$-$02366, obtained with the 6-meter BTA telescope with a spectral resolution of R$\ge$60000 on arbitrary dates over 2019$÷$2021, a radial velocity variability is found. Heliocentric Vr based on the positional measurements of numerous absorptions varies from date to date with a standard deviation of $Δ$Vr$\approx$1.4 km/s about the average value of Vr=24.75 km/s, which may stem out of the low-amplitude pulsations in the atmosphere. The spectra of the star are purely absorption type, there are no obvious emissions. Intensity variability of most of absorptions and Swan bands of the C$_2$ molecule was discovered. A slight asymmetry of the H$α$ profile is observed at some observation dates. The position of H$α$ absorption core varies within 27.3$÷$30.6 km/s. Splitting into two components (or asymmetry) of strong low-excitation absorptions (YII, ZrII, BaII, LaII, CeII, NdII) was found. The position of the long-wavelength component coincides with the position of other photospheric absorptions, which confirms its formation in the atmosphere of the star. The position of the shortwave component is close to the position of the rotational features of Swan bands, which indicates its formation in the circumstellar envelope expanding at a velocity of about Vexp=16 km/s.

description: The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been detecting a wealth of sources where the multi-wavelength counterpart is either inconclusive or missing altogether. We present a combination of factors that can be used to identify multi-wavelength counterparts to these Fermi unassociated sources. This approach was used to select and investigate seven bright, high-latitude unassociated sources with radio, UV, X-ray and gamma-ray observations. As a result, four of these sources are candidates to be active galactic nuclei (AGN), and one to be a pulsar, while two do not fit easily into these known categories of sources. The latter pair of extra-ordinary sources might reveal a new category subclass or a new type of gamma-ray emitters. These results altogether demonstrate the power of a multi-wavelength approach to illuminate the nature of unassociated Fermi sources.

description: In this article, we put forward a new approach to electrodynamics of materials. Based on the identification of induced electromagnetic fields as the microscopic counterparts of polarization and magnetization, we systematically employ the mutual functional dependencies of induced, external and total field quantities. This allows for a unified, relativistic description of the electromagnetic response without assuming the material to be composed of electric or magnetic dipoles. Using this approach, we derive universal (material-independent) relations between electromagnetic response functions such as the dielectric tensor, the magnetic susceptibility and the microscopic conductivity tensor. Our formulae can be reduced to well-known identities in special cases, but more generally include the effects of inhomogeneity, anisotropy, magnetoelectric coupling and relativistic retardation. If combined with the Kubo formalism, they would also lend themselves to the ab initio calculation of all linear electromagnetic response functions.

description: We investigate the potential of elastic scattering of energetic ions for compositional analysis of magnetic colloidal nanocrystals. Thin layers of nanocrystals deposited by spin coating on Si-wafers are investigated by two different set-ups for Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS), employing different projectile ions (4He, 12C) and primary energies (600 keV - 8 MeV). The advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches are discussed in terms of obtainable mass resolution, necessary primary particle fluence and deposited energy. It is shown that different isotopes of transition metals can be resolved by employing 8 MeV 12C3+ primary ions.

Right-handed sneutrinos as asymmetric DM and neutrino masses from neutrinophilic Higgs bosons

description: We consider an extension of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model by three right-handed neutrinos and a pair of neutrinophilic Higgs superfields. The small neutrino masses arise naturally from a small vacuum expectation value of the additional Higgs fields (hence without lepton number violation), while the lightest right-handed sneutrinos can constitute asymmetric Dark Matter. The right-handed sneutrino and baryon asymmetries are connected through equilibrium processes in the early universe, explaining the coincidence of the DM and baryon abundances. We show that particle physics and astrophysical constraints are satisfied.

The apparent absence of this lizard on Lefkada was already highlighted by Werner (1894: 229, 1929: 475), who stated that “on Santa Maura, despite my best efforts, I never found it anywhere”. The only record is due to Broggi (1986: 30), who found this lizard near Vasiliki. After this record, there was no further observation apart from a doubtful citizen science record for the same locality, which deserves confirmation, as the quality of the image does not allow for a reliable identification.
The rarity of this species on Lefkada is surprising, since it is widespread on the other Ionian Islands (Psonis et al., 2017); it cannot be excluded that the occurrence in Vasiliki (a tourist site with ferry terminal from Cephalonia, where P. tauricus is common) is due to a human mediated introduction.

Subdiffusive rocking ratchets in viscoelastic media: transport optimization and thermodynamic efficiency in overdamped regime

description: We study subdiffusive overdamped Brownian ratchets periodically rocked by an external zero-mean force in viscoelastic media within the framework of non-Markovian Generalized Langevin equation (GLE) approach and associated multi-dimensional Markovian embedding dynamics. Viscoelastic deformations of the medium caused by the transport particle are modeled by a set of auxiliary Brownian quasi-particles elastically coupled to the transport particle and characterized by a hierarchy of relaxation times which obey a fractal scaling. The most slowly relaxing deformations which cannot immediately follow to the moving particle imprint long-range memory about its previous positions and cause subdiffusion and anomalous transport on a sufficiently long time scale. This anomalous behavior is combined with normal diffusion and transport on an initial time scale of overdamped motion. Anomalously slow directed transport in a periodic ratchet potential with broken space inversion symmetry emerges due to a violation of the thermal detailed balance by a zero-mean periodic driving and is optimized with frequency of driving, its amplitude, and temperature. Such optimized anomalous transport can be low dispersive and characterized by a large generalized Peclet number. Moreover, we show that overdamped subdiffusive ratchets can sustain a substantial load and do a useful work. The corresponding thermodynamic efficiency decays algebraically in time since the useful work done against a load scales sublinearly with time following to the transport particle position, but the energy pumped by an external force scales with time linearly. Nevertheless, it can be transiently appreciably high and compare well with the thermodynamical efficiency of the normal diffusion overdamped ratchets on sufficiently long temporal and spatial scales.

description: Big Data is considered proprietary asset of companies, organizations, and even nations. Turning big data into real treasure requires the support of big data systems. A variety of commercial and open source products have been unleashed for big data storage and processing. While big data users are facing the choice of which system best suits their needs, big data system developers are facing the question of how to evaluate their systems with regard to general big data processing needs. System benchmarking is the classic way of meeting the above demands. However, existent big data benchmarks either fail to represent the variety of big data processing requirements, or target only one specific platform, e.g. Hadoop. In this paper, with our industrial partners, we present BigOP, an end-to-end system benchmarking framework, featuring the abstraction of representative Operation sets, workload Patterns, and prescribed tests. BigOP is part of an open-source big data benchmarking project, BigDataBench. BigOP's abstraction model not only guides the development of BigDataBench, but also enables automatic generation of tests with comprehensive workloads. We illustrate the feasibility of BigOP by implementing an automatic test generation tool and benchmarking against three widely used big data processing systems, i.e. Hadoop, Spark and MySQL Cluster. Three tests targeting three different application scenarios are prescribed. The tests involve relational data, text data and graph data, as well as all operations and workload patterns. We report results following test specifications.

Anisotropy test of the axion-like particle Universe opacity effect: a case for the Cherenkov Telescope Array

description: The Universe opacity to gamma rays is still an open question, in particular anomalies may have been observed. Assuming that such anomalies find their origin in conventional physics like intrinsic source spectra or the density of the extragalactic background light, they would be evenly distributed over the sky. If they exist, axion-like particles (ALPs) would have a potential effect on the opacity of the Universe to gamma rays, possibly related to the anomalies in the spectral indices of distant gamma-ray sources. In the scenario where ALPs from distant sources convert back to photons in the Galactic magnetic field, their effect on the opacity is expected to depend on the position of the sources. In that case the anomaly is expected to exhibit peculiar correlations on the sky. We propose a method to test the origin of the opacity anomaly, based on angular correlations of spectral softening anomalies. Such a diagnosis requires a wide-field survey of high-energy gamma-ray sources over a broad range of energy. The future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is perfectly suited to perform such a study. It is shown that while the current sample of sources is not large enough to base conclusions on, with this method CTA will be sensitive to ALP couplings to gamma rays of the order of 3e-11 GeV^-1 for ALP masses below 1e-8 eV.

description: We report on the interplay of localized and extended degrees of freedom in the metallic state of high-temperature superconductors in a multiband setting. Various ways in which the bare magnetic response may become incommensurate are measured against both phenomenological and theoretical requirements. In particular, the pseudogap temperature is typically much higher than the incommensurability temperature. When microscopic strong-coupling effects with real-time dynamics between copper and oxygen sites are included, they tend to restore commensurability. Quantum transport equations for low-dimensional multiband electronic systems are used to explain the linear doping dependence of the dc conductivity and the doping and temperature dependence of the Hall number in the underdoped LSCO compounds. Coulomb effects of dopands are inferred from the doping evolution of the Hartree-Fock model parameters.

Global view of neutrino interactions in cosmology: The freestreaming window as seen by Planck

description: Neutrinos are expected to freestream (i.e. not interact with anything) since they decouple in the early Universe at a temperature $T\sim 2~{\rm MeV}$. However, there are many relevant particle physics scenarios that can make neutrinos interact at $T< 2~{\rm MeV}$. In this work, we take a global perspective and aim to identify the temperature range in which neutrinos can interact given current cosmological observations. We consider a generic set of rates parametrizing neutrino interactions and by performing a full Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) analysis we find that neutrinos cannot interact significantly for redshifts $2000 \lesssim z \lesssim 10^5$, which we refer to as the freestreaming window. We also derive a redshift dependent upper bound on a suitably defined interaction rate $Γ_\text{nfs}(z)$, finding $Γ_\text{nfs}(z)/H(z)\lesssim 1-10$ within the freestreaming window. We show that these results are largely model independent under some broad assumptions, and contextualize them in terms of neutrino decays, neutrino self-interactions, neutrino annihilations, and majoron models. We provide examples of how to use our model independent approach to obtain bounds in specific scenarios, and demonstrate agreement with existing results. We also investigate the reach of upcoming cosmological data finding that CMB Stage-IV experiments can improve the bound on $Γ_\text{nfs}(z)/H(z)$ by up to a factor $10$. Moreover, we comment on large-scale structure observations, finding that the ongoing DESI survey has the potential to probe uncharted regions of parameter space of interacting neutrinos. Finally, we point out a peculiar scenario that has so far not been considered, and for which relatively large interactions around recombination are still allowed by Planck data due to some degeneracy with $n_s$, $A_s$ and $H_0$. This scenario can be fully tested with CMB-S4.

description: We present a new algorithm to analytically continue the self-energy of quantum many-body systems from Matsubara frequencies to the real axis. The method allows straightforward, unambiguous computation of electronic spectra for lattice models of strongly correlated systems from self-energy data that has been collected with state-of-the are continuous time solvers within dynamical mean field simulations. Using well-known analytical properties of the self-energy, the analytic continuation is cast into a constrained minimization problem that can be formulated as a quadratic programmable optimization with linear constraints. The algorithm is validated against exactly solvable finite size problems, showing that all features of the spectral function near the Femi level are very well reproduced and coarse features are reproduced for all energies. The method is applied to two well known lattice problems, the two-dimensional Hubbard model at half filling where the momentum dependence of the gap formation is studied, as well as a multi-band model of NiO, for which the spectral function can be directly compared to experiment. Agreement with results published results is very good.

title: Plain and Steel-Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls With and Without CFRP Retrofitting
Creators: name: Aloosi, Ali Mohammed Salih Al

Year: 2010

description: This thesis presents the outcome- of a study of the behavior and strength of plain and steel-reinforced concrete shear walls with and without a window opening and Carbon Fi.her-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) retrofitting. A total of seven tests were conducted using six different shear walls. Each wall was subjected to a gradually increasing static load at one of it's top corners until the maximum load was reached. The load-deflection relations and the walls' failure patterns were observed and recorded. It was found that the window opening in the plain concrete wall reduced the wall load capacity by 18 percent. For the wall without an opening, CFRP retrofitting provided a dramatic 63.4 percent increase in the ultimate strength. The steel reinforced wall with an opening experienced a surprising 21 percent reduction in the ultimate load relative to that for the plain concrete wall. It was also found that the ACI Code is seriously unconservative for the plain concrete wall without opening; however, it is conservative for the steel-reinforced wall. Likewise, the ETABS software based on the finite element method gave seriously flawed load-deflection curves. On the contrary, a strut-and-tie model developed and presented in this thesis for the steel reinforced wall without opening is found to be in good agreement with the experimental results.

description: Grand gauge-Higgs unification of five dimensional SU(6) gauge theory on an orbifold $S^1/Z_2$ with localized gauge kinetic terms is discussed. The Standard model (SM) fermions on the boundaries and some massive bulk fermions coupling to the SM fermions on the boundary are introduced. Taking the power-law running contributions from the bulk fields into account, perturbative gauge coupling unification is shown to be realized at around $10^{14}$ GeV, which is a few order smaller than the unification scale of four dimensional grand unified theories.

Semiclassical and Quantum Analysis of a Focussing Free Particle Hermite Wavefunction
Creators: name: Strange, Paul
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we discuss a solution of the free particle Schrodinger equation in which the time and space dependence are not separable. The wavefunction is written as a product of exponential terms, Hermite polynomials and a phase. The peaks in the wavefunction decelerate and then accelerate around t = 0. We analyse this behaviour within both a quantum and a semi-classical regime. We show that the acceleration does not represent true acceleration of the particle but can be related to the envelope function of the allowed classical paths. Comparison with other "accelerating" wavefunctions is also made. The analysis provides considerable insight into the meaning of the quantum wavefunction.

title: Thomas Hardy: folklore and resistance
Creators: name: Dillion, Jacqueline Marie
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2014

description: This thesis examines a range of folkloric customs and beliefs that play a pivotal role in Hardy’s fiction: overlooking, sympathetic magic, hag-riding, tree ‘totemism’, skimmington-riding, bonfire nights, mumming, May Day celebrations, Midsummer divination, and the ‘Portland Custom’. For each of these, it offers a background survey bringing the customs or beliefs forward in time into Victorian Dorset, and examines how they have been represented in written texts – in literature, newspapers, county histories, folklore books, the work of the Folklore Society, archival documents, and letters – in the context of Hardy’s repeated insistence on the authenticity of his own accounts of these traditions. In doing so, the thesis both explores Hardy’s work, primarily his prose fiction, as a means to understand the ‘folklore’ (a word coined in the decade of Hardy’s birth) of southwestern England, and at the same time reconsiders the novels in the light of the folkloric elements. The thesis also argues that Hardy treats folklore in dynamic ways that open up more questions and tensions than many of his contemporaries chose to recognise. Hardy portrays folkloric custom and belief from the perspective of one who has lived and moved within ‘folk culture’, but he also distances himself (or his narrators) by commenting on folkloric material in contemporary anthropological terms that serve to destabilize a fixed (author)itative narrative voice. The interplay between the two perspectives, coupled with Hardy’s commitment to showing folk culture in flux, demonstrates his continuing resistance to what he viewed as the reductive ways of thinking about folklore adopted by prominent folklorists (and personal friends) such as Edward Clodd, Andrew Lang, and James Frazer. This thesis seeks to explore these tensions and to show how Hardy’s efforts to resist what he described as ‘excellently neat’ answers open up wider cultural questions about the nature of belief, progress, and change.

Until recently the Worm Snake on Lefkada was known only for a single specimen collected in 1929 by M. Beier (Werner, 1929: 478). Recently Schmid (2019: 75) reported on a second individual after about a century, unfortunately not providing information on the locality and date of the sighting, and not providing a picture.

description: This poster presents the Distributed Text Service API Specification, a community-built effort to facilitate the publication and consumption of texts and their structures in a way that adheres to both FAIR and Linked Data principles. DTS was designed to be as generic as possible, providing simple operations for navigating collections, navigating within a text and retrieving textual content, by means of a fully RESTful API. As it strives for genericity, DTS allows for using any identifier scheme for collections, texts and passages of text, as long as the identifier can be expressed safely as a URL parameter (including e.g. CTS URNs). DTS API uses JSON-LD as the serialization format for non-textual data (e.g. descriptive metadata) and TEI XML as the minimum required format for textual data served by the API. In this presentation, I will provide an overview of the operations supported by the DTS API, with examples taken from real-world implementations.

Social media and consumer behaviours toward luxury fashion brands: a study of Chinese consumers and the influence of online reviews
Creators: name: Zhang, Xiaohao
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024

description: This thesis focuses on the influence of social media on the behaviour of Chinese consumers toward luxury fashion brands. Since the establishment of the country and social media, the consumption of luxury fashion brands among Chinese consumers has been reformed deeply. In light of the growing concern about social media and luxury fashion brands, this research explores the influence of social media on Chinese consumers of luxury fashion brands and the factors of social media that affect the consumption of luxury fashion brands from the perspective of consumers. This multiple-dimensional, qualitative study draws on image data of 176 images posted on Xiaohongshu, content analysis of 43 post contents and their comment exchanges, and 17 in-depth interviews. It investigates how Chinese consumers of luxury fashion brands influence one another on social media affecting purchasing behaviours.This research shows that the influencing factors of social media to the consumption of luxury fashion brands are shaped by reformed consumer behaviours, the emergence of a content cycle to influence one another on social media. Findings from this research are supported by recently-collected empirical data from image analysis and content analysis, which has then been verified by the analysis of in-depth interviews. In addition, this study demonstrates that the spread of the proper attitudes about luxury fashion brands consumption are a significant driver of Chinese consumer behaviour toward luxury fashion brands.
Numerical Identification of Nonlocal Potential in Aggregation

description: Aggregation equations are broadly used to model population dynamics with nonlocal interactions, characterized by a potential in the equation. This paper considers the inverse problem of identifying the potential from a single noisy spatial-temporal process. The identification is challenging in the presence of noise due to the instability of numerical differentiation. We propose a robust model-based technique to identify the potential by minimizing a regularized data fidelity term, and regularization is taken as the total variation and the squared Laplacian. A split Bregman method is used to solve the regularized optimization problem. Our method is robust to noise by utilizing a Successively Denoised Differentiation technique. We consider additional constraints such as compact support and symmetry constraints to enhance the performance further. We also apply this method to identify time-varying potentials and identify the interaction kernel in an agent-based system. Various numerical examples in one and two dimensions are included to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.
One-Loop Corrections to Dihadron Production in DIS at Small $x$

description: We calculate the one-loop corrections to dihadron production in Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) at small x using the Color Glass Condensate formalism. We show that all UV and soft singularities cancel while the collinear divergences are absorbed into quark and anti quark-hadron fragmentation functions. Rapidity divergences lead to JIMWLK evolution of dipoles and quadrupoles describing multiple-scatterings of the quark anti-quark dipole on the target proton/nucleus. The resulting cross section is finite and can be used for phenomenological studies of dihadron angular correlations at small x in a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).

description: We compute the perturbative component of the fragmentation function of the $b$ quark to the best of the present theoretical knowledge. The fixed-order calculation to order $α_s^2$ of the fragmentation function at the initial scale is matched with soft-emission logarithm resummation to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, so that order-$α_s^2$ corrections are accounted for exactly, and logarithmically enhanced contributions from loops of $b$ quarks are included. This requires the calculation of the Mellin transform of the order-$α_s^2$ result in the whole complex plane for the Mellin variable, which we provide for the first time for all the fragmenting partons. Evolution is performed to next-to-next- to-leading log accuracy, and mixing with the gluon fragmentation function is taken into account. The perturbative fragmentation functions are made available via LHAPDF grids.
