description: Recent research demonstrates that the diagnosticity of an acoustic dimension for speech categorization is relative to its relationship to the evolving distribution of dimensional regularity across time, and not simply to its fixed value along the dimension. Two studies examine the nature of this dimension-based statistical learning in online word recognition, testing generalization of learning across talkers and across phonetic categories. The results indicate that dimension-based statistical learning generalizes across talkers, but is specific to experienced phonetic categories.

description: Quantum measurements disturb the quantum system being measured, and this is known as measurement-induced backaction. In this work, we consider a double quantum dot monitored by a nearby quantum point contact where the measurement-induced backaction plays an important role. Taking advantage of the quantum master equation approach, we calculate the tunnelling current, and propose a simple feedbackcontrol law to realize and stabilize the tunnelling current. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that the feedback control law can make the current quickly convergent to the desired value.

Radiative Transfer and Limb Darkening of Accretion Disks

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Transfer equation in a geometrically thin accretion disk is reexamined under the plane-parallel approximation with finite optical depth. Emergent intensity is analytically obtained in the cases with or without internal heating. For large or infinite optical depth, the emergent intensity exhibits a usual limb-darkening effect, where the intensity linearly changes as a function of the direction cosine. For small optical depth, on the other hand, the angle-dependence of the emergent intensity drastically changes. In the case without heating but with uniform incident radiation at the disk equator, the emergent intensity becomes isotropic for small optical depth. In the case with uniform internal heating, the limb brightening takes place for small optical depth. We also emphasize and discuss the limb-darkening effect in an accretion disk for several cases.

description: Within tone languages that use pitch variations to contrast meaning, large variability exists in the pitches produced by different speakers. Context-dependent perception may help to resolve this perceptual challenge. However, whether speakers rely on context in contour tone perception is unclear; previous studies have produced inconsistent results. The present study aimed to provide an unambiguous test of the effect of context on contour lexical tone perception and to explore its underlying mechanisms. In three experiments, Mandarin listeners’ perception of Mandarin first and second (high-level and mid-rising) tones was investigated with preceding speech and non-speech contexts. Results indicate that the mean fundamental frequency (f0) of a preceding sentence affects perception of contour lexical tones and the effect is contrastive. Following a sentence with a higher-frequency mean f0, the following syllable is more likely to be perceived as a lower frequency lexical tone and vice versa. Moreover, non-speech precursors modeling the mean spectrum of f0 also elicit this effect, suggesting general perceptual processing rather than articulatory-based or speaker-identity-driven mechanisms.

description: There has been a recent interest in hierarchical generalisations of classic incompleteness results. This paper provides evidence that such generalisations are readibly obtainable from suitably hierarchical versions of the principles used in the original proof. By collecting such principles, we prove hierarchical versions of Mostowski's theorem on independent formulae, Kripke's theorem on flexible formulae, and a number of further generalisations thereof. As a corollary, we obtain the expected result that the formula expressing "$T$ is $Σ_n$-ill" is a canonical example of a $Σ_{n+1}$ formula that is $Π_{n+1}$-conservative over $T$.

description: Context. The number of identified complex organic molecules (COMs) in inter- and circumstellar gas-phase environments is steadily increasing. Recent laboratory studies show that many such species form on icy dust grains. At present only smaller molecular species have been directly identified in space in the solid state. Accurate spectroscopic laboratory data of frozen COMs, embedded in ice matrices containing ingredients related to their formation scheme, are still largely lacking. Aims. This work provides infrared reference spectra of acetaldehyde (CH$_3$CHO), ethanol (CH$_3$CH$_2$OH), and dimethyl ether (CH$_3$OCH$_3$) recorded in a variety of ice environments and for astronomically relevant temperatures, as needed to guide or interpret astronomical observations, specifically for upcoming James Webb Space Telescope observations. Methods. Fourier transform transmission spectroscopy (500-4000 cm$^{-1}$ / 20-2.5 $μ$m, 1.0 cm$^{-1}$ resolution) was used to investigate solid acetaldehyde, ethanol and dimethyl ether, pure or mixed with water, CO, methanol, or CO:methanol. These species were deposited on a cryogenically cooled infrared transmissive window at 15~K. A heating ramp was applied, during which IR spectra were recorded until all ice constituents were thermally desorbed. Results. We present a large number of reference spectra that can be compared with astronomical data. Accurate band positions and band widths are provided for the studied ice mixtures and temperatures. Special efforts have been put into those bands of each molecule that are best suited for identification. For acetaldehyde the 7.427 and 5.803 $μ$m bands are recommended, for ethanol the 11.36 and 7.240 $μ$m bands are good candidates, and for dimethyl ether bands at 9.141 and 8.011 $μ$m can be used. All spectra are publicly available in the Leiden Database for Ice.

Relativistic Radiative Flow in a Luminous Disk II

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Radiatively-driven transfer flow perpendicular to a luminous disk is examined in the relativistic regime of $(v/c)^2$, taking into account the gravity of the central object. The flow is assumed to be vertical, and the gas pressure as well as the magnetic field are ignored. Using a velocity-dependent variable Eddington factor, we can solve the rigorous equations of the relativistic radiative flow accelerated up to the {\it relativistic} speed. For sufficiently luminous cases, the flow resembles the case without gravity. For less-luminous or small initial radius cases, however, the flow velocity decreases due to gravity. Application to a supercritical accretion disk with mass loss is briefly discussed.

description: Previous research on scientific reasoning has shown that it involves a diverse set of skills. Yet, little is known about generality of those skills, an important issue to theories of expertise and to attempts to automate scientific reasoning skills. We present a study examining what kinds of skills psychologists actually use in designing and interpreting experiments. The results suggest: 1) that psychologists use many domain-general skills in their experimentation; 2) that bright and motivated undergraduates are missing many of these skills; 3) some domain-general skills are not specific to only scientists; and 4) some domain-specific skills can be acquired with minimal domain-experience.

description: Using synchrotron radiation with a photon energy of 15 keV, the molecular structure of an adsorbed n-triacontanol layer at the n-hexadecane - water interface in different its phase states has been studied by the method of diffuse X-ray scattering. The analysis of the experimental data shows that a transition to the multilayer adsorption occurs at a temperature below the two-dimensional vapor - liquid transition at the interface. This transition has been attributed to a feature in the temperature dependence of the concentration of micelles in a surface layer 100 - 200 Å thick.

description: $^{222}$Rn is a noble radioactive gas produced along the $^{238}$U decay chain, which is present in the majority of soils and rocks. As $^{222}$Rn is the most relevant source of natural background radiation, understanding its distribution in the environment is of great concern for investigating the health impacts of low-level radioactivity and for supporting regulation of human exposure to ionizing radiation in modern society. At the same time, $^{222}$Rn is a widespread atmospheric tracer whose spatial distribution is generally used as a proxy for climate and pollution studies. Airborne gamma-ray spectroscopy (AGRS) always treated $^{222}$Rn as a source of background since it affects the indirect estimate of equivalent $^{238}$U concentration. In this work the AGRS method is used for the first time for quantifying the presence of $^{222}$Rn in the atmosphere and assessing its vertical profile. High statistics radiometric data acquired during an offshore survey are fitted as a superposition of a constant component due to the experimental setup background radioactivity plus a height dependent contribution due to cosmic radiation and atmospheric $^{222}$Rn. The refined statistical analysis provides not only a conclusive evidence of AGRS $^{222}$Rn detection but also a (0.96 $\pm$ 0.07) Bq/m$^{3}$ $^{222}$Rn concentration and a (1318 $\pm$ 22) m atmospheric layer depth fully compatible with literature data.

Marktplatz 3. verhandeln, feilschen [1] Das Thema meiner Diplomarbeit ist der empirische Fall der MaterialsammlerInnen (Wastepicker)-Märkte/Pazaria in Eleonas, Athen. Informelle oder unregulierte kommerzielle Aktivitäten, die sich in und um die Märkte herum entwickeln, sind Mittel zur Aneignung von Raum für marginalisierte Bevölkerungsgruppen. Durch eine sorgfältige Untersuchung des transitorischen Charakters von Eleonas und des spezifischen postindustriellen Settings, in dem die Märkte eingebettet sind, wird eine Analyse der räumlichen Bedingungen unternommen, die die spezifische Ausprägung der Markträume bestimmen. Meine Hypothese ist, dass die Strategien, die Individuen entwickeln, um Raum für sich und ihre Handelspraxis zu schaffen, Möglichkeit zur Vergemeinschaftung des öffentlichen und des privaten-als-öffentlichen Raums darstellen – somit gelten sie als Formen des Urban Commonings. Basierend auf diese Hypothese werden die emanzipatorischen Potenziale des Commoning-Prozesses untersucht, die sich auf den Marktplätzen von Eleonas manifestieren.
description: This thesis studies phenomena of urban space appropriation at the wastepicker markets of Eleonas, Athens. The history of wastepickers in Athens is shaped by repression and displacement from central urban spaces and is marked by the relocation of the wastepicker bazaars to the area of Eleonas. Eleonas became a subject of degradation and subsequent urban restructuring processes in the last thirty years, yet remaining the productive core of the city. Narratives of failure and decline have supported this transformation, while they fail to grasp the living and working realities of Eleonas’ users. The wastepicker markets—agoras of waste—that settled in the area facilitate various expressions of urban space appropriation, with the market actors claiming resources such as public space and solid waste in order to support their livelihoods. I thus ask in which ways urban space appropriation is manifested through trading practices at the wastepicker markets of Eleonas, in the background of urban restructuring processes, displacement and marginalization. I argue that this expression of space appropriation, in the context of large scale urban redevelopment projects, constitutes an act of commoning. This happens as a contestation of imposed plans that are defined by hegemonic understandings of the residual in the city, by Eleonas’ users who, through their actions, resist being treated as passive subjects. By highlighting this topic, I aim to amplify the acting subjects’ perspectives and realities.
Radiative Transfer in Accretion-Disk Winds

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Radiative transfer equation in an accretion disk wind is examined analytically and numerically under the plane-parallel approximation in the subrelativistic regime of $(v/c)^1$, where $v$ is the wind vertical velocity. Emergent intensity is analytically obtained for the case of a large optical depth, where the flow speed and the source function are almost constant. The usual limb-darkening effect, which depends on the direction cosine at the zero-optical depth surface, does not appear, since the source function is constant. Because of the vertical motion of winds, however, the emergent intensity exhibits the {\it velocity-dependent} limb-darkening effect, which comes from the Doppler and aberration effects. Radiative moments and emergent intensity are also numerically obtained. When the flow speed is small ($v \leq 0.1c$), the radiative structure resembles to that of the static atmosphere, where the source function is proportional to the optical depth, and the usual limb-darkening effect exists. When the flow speed becomes large, on the other hand, the flow speed attains the constant terminal one, and the velocity-dependent limb-darkening effect appears. We thus carefully treat and estimate the wind luminosity and limb-darkening effect, when we observe an accretion disk wind.

description: Sex differences in cognitive domains, such as mathematical ability, and social domains, such as moral development, continue to be hotly debated, but there is widespread agreement that there are sex differences in health and that the size of these differences are substantive. To start with, women live longer than men (Hoyert et al., 1999). In fact, men are more likely than women to die of each of the ten leading causes of death, which include heart disease, cancer, accidents, and stroke (Hoyert et al., 1999). However, while living, women’s health appears to be worse than that of men. Women suffer from more acute illnesses and more nonfatal chronic illnesses compared to men (Verbrugge, 1989). Thus, at any given point in time, women are more likely than men to be ill and to be living with a chronic disease. Women report more disability than men – more days spent in bed due to illness and more days in which they restrict their activities due to illness compared to men (Cleary et al., 1982; Kandrack et al., 1991; Verbrugge, 1989). Women also suffer from more painful disorders compared to men (Berkley, 1997; Macintyre et al., 1996; Unruh, 1996), and women perceive their health to be worse than men (Arber and Ginn, 1993; Cleary et al., 1982; Denton and Walters, 1999). Women suffer twice the rate of depression as men (Culbertson, 1997; Nolen- Hoeksema, 1987), yet men are roughly four times as likely as women to commit suicide (US Department of Justice, 1998).
Information-Corrected Estimation: A Generalization Error Reducing Parameter Estimation Method

description: Modern computational models in supervised machine learning are often highly parameterized universal approximators. As such, the value of the parameters is unimportant, and only the out of sample performance is considered. On the other hand much of the literature on model estimation assumes that the parameters themselves have intrinsic value, and thus is concerned with bias and variance of parameter estimates, which may not have any simple relationship to out of sample model performance. Therefore, within supervised machine learning, heavy use is made of ridge regression (i.e., L2 regularization), which requires the the estimation of hyperparameters and can be rendered ineffective by certain model parameterizations. We introduce an objective function which we refer to as Information-Corrected Estimation (ICE) that reduces KL divergence based generalization error for supervised machine learning. ICE attempts to directly maximize a corrected likelihood function as an estimator of the KL divergence. Such an approach is proven, theoretically, to be effective for a wide class of models, with only mild regularity restrictions. Under finite sample sizes, this corrected estimation procedure is shown experimentally to lead to significant reduction in generalization error compared to maximum likelihood estimation and L2 regularization.

The HRCam instrument, observing strategy and planning, data processing and calibration methods, developed and improved during ten years, are presented here in a concise way. Thousands of binary stars were measured with diffraction-limited resolution (29mas at 540nm wavelength) and a high accuracy reaching 1mas; two hundred new pairs or subsystems were discovered. To date, HRCam has performed over 11000 observations with a high efficiency (up to 300 stars per night). An overview of the main results delivered by this instrument is given.

Year: 2019

description: In this paper we document the results of a forecast evaluation exercise for the real world price of crude oil using VAR models estimated by sparse (regularization) estimators. These methods have the property to constrain single parameters to zero. We find that estimating VARs with three core variables (real price of oil, index of global real economic activity, change in global crude oil production) by the sparse methods is associated with substantial reductions of forecast errors. The transformation of the variables (taking logs or differences) is also crucial. Extending the VARs by further variables is not associated with additonal gains in forecast performance as is the application of impulse indicator saturation before the estimation.

The orthorhombic order with one of the four Fe sites vacant appears only at intermediate temperature as a competing phase. The material experiences an insulator to metal crossover when the $\sqrt{5}\times\sqrt{5}$ order has highly developed. Superconductivity occurs in such a metallic phase.

description: Nowadays, protecting trust in social sciences also means engaging in open community dialogue, which helps to safeguard robustness and improve efficiency of research methods. The combination of open data, open review and open dialogue may sound simple but implementation in the real world will not be straightforward. However, in view of Begley and Ellis's (2012) statement that, "the scientific process demands the highest standards of quality, ethics and rigour," they are worth implementing. More importantly, they are feasible to work on and likely will help to restore plausibility to social sciences research. Therefore, I feel it likely that the triplet of open data, open review and open dialogue will gradually emerge to become policy requirements regardless of the research funding source.

We show that the transition probabilities can be characterized by remarkably simple, yet unsuspected recurrence equations involving a linear combination of probabilities. The recurrence exhibits an interferometric suppression term - a negative probability - which generalizes the seminal Hong-Ou-Mandel effect to more than two indistinguishable photons impinging on a beam splitter of rational transmittance. Unexpectedly, interferences thus originate in this description from the cancellation of probabilities instead of amplitudes. Our framework, which builds on the generating function of the non-Gaussian matrix elements of Gaussian unitaries in Fock basis, is illustrated here for the most common passive and active linear coupling between two optical modes driven by a beam splitter or a parametric amplifier. Hence, it also allows us to predict unsuspected multiphoton interference effects in an optical amplifier of rational gain. In particular, we confirm the newly found two-photon interferometric suppression effect in an amplifier of gain 2 originating from timelike indistinguishability (arXiv:2012.15165 [quant-ph]). Overall, going beyond standard two-mode optical components, we expect our method will prove valuable for describing general quantum circuits involving Bogoliubov bosonic transformations.

description: In this chapter, I discuss how sex is empirically and conceptually related to the experience of stressful life events and coping with stressful life events. I also review the literature that has attempted to link these sex differences to social or psychological gender role characteristics. Sex not only may influence the stressors one faces and how one copes with stressors but also may influence the relation of stressful life events and coping to health. Thus, I address sex as a moderator variable. The section on stressful life events distinguishes between the experience and impact of stressful events as well as the different kinds of stressful events men and women face. The section on coping reflects the traditional ways of coping as well as work on specific aspects of coping, such as rumination and benefit-finding. The research reviewed spans childhood, adolescence, and early and later adulthood. The chapter concludes with an outline of directions for future research.

description: The atomic Bose gas is studied across a Feshbach resonance, mapping out its phase diagram, and computing its thermodynamics and excitation spectra. It is shown that such a degenerate gas admits two distinct atomic and molecular superfluid phases, with the latter distinguished by the absence of atomic off-diagonal long-range order, gapped atomic excitations, and deconfined atomic pi-vortices. The properties of the molecular superfluid are explored, and it is shown that across a Feshbach resonance it undergoes a quantum Ising transition to the atomic superfluid, where both atoms and molecules are condensed. In addition to its distinct thermodynamic signatures and deconfined half-vortices, in a trap a molecular superfluid should be identifiable by the absence of an atomic condensate peak and the presence of a molecular one.

description: The instabilities of fluid interfaces represent both a limitation and an opportunity for the fabrication of small-scale devices. Just as non-uniform capillary pressures can destroy micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS), so they can guide the assembly of novel solid and fluid structures. In many such applications the interface appears during an evaporation process and is therefore only present temporarily. It is commonly assumed that this evaporation simply guides the interface through a sequence of equilibrium configurations, and that the rate of evaporation only sets the timescale of this sequence. Here, we use Lattice-Boltzmann simulations and a theoretical analysis to show that, in fact, the rate of evaporation can be a factor in determining the onset and form of dynamical capillary instabilities. Our results shed light on the role of evaporation in previous experiments, and open the possibility of exploiting diffusive mass transfer to directly control capillary flows in MEMS applications.

description: In a functional language, the dominant control-flow mechanism is function call and return. Most higher-order flow analyses, including k-CFA, do not handle call and return well: they remember only a bounded number of pending calls because they approximate programs with control-flow graphs. Call/return mismatch introduces precision-degrading spurious control-flow paths and increases the analysis time. We describe CFA2, the first flow analysis with precise call/return matching in the presence of higher-order functions and tail calls. We formulate CFA2 as an abstract interpretation of programs in continuation-passing style and describe a sound and complete summarization algorithm for our abstract semantics. A preliminary evaluation shows that CFA2 gives more accurate data-flow information than 0CFA and 1CFA.

description: We conduct a study to explore the influence of impaired renal function on prognosis in Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) patients. A meta-analysis was performed using the EMBASE and PubMed databases for relevant publications reporting the impact of impaired renal function on the clinical outcomes in patients with APE. Eventually, 17 articles were included in our analysis. The results suggested that renal insufficiency (RI) is a predictor of poor prognosis in APE patients(short-term mortality: pooled OR = 2.83, 95%CI: 2.20–3.63; long-term mortality: pooled OR = 2.30, 95%CI: 1.72–3.08; adverse outcomes: pooled OR = 3.02, 95%CI: 2.60–3.51). The short-term and long-term mortality rates of APE patients with RI were both higher than those in patients without RI. In addition, acute kidney injury(AKI) could serve as a predictive factor of poor prognosis (pooled OR = 2.75, 95%CI: 2.45–3.08), and it doubles the overall mortality rate in APE patients. However, chronic kidney disease (CKD) did not predict poor prognosis in APE patients (pooled OR = 1.94, 95%CI: 0.99–3.81), although it could slightly increase the overall mortality rate in APE patients. RI and AKI could be included in the prognosis evaluation for APE, but the impact of CKD in APE patients has yet to be determined.

description: A continuing question in the object recognition literature is whether surface properties play a role in visual representation and recognition. Here, we examined the use of color as a cue in facial gender recognition by applying a version of reverse correlation to face categorization in CIE L*a*b* color space. We found that observers exploited color information to classify ambiguous signals embedded in chromatic noise. The method also allowed us to identify the specific spatial locations and the components of color used by observers. Although the color patterns found with human observers did not accurately mirror objective natural color differences, they suggest sensitivity to the contrast between the main features and the rest of the face. Overall, the results provide evidence that observers encode and can use the local color properties of faces, in particular, in tasks in which color provides diagnostic information and the availability of other cues is reduced.

description: Further to our consideration on trapped surfaces in gravitational collapse, where pressures were allowed to be negative while satisfying weak energy condition to avoid trapped surface formation, we discuss here several other attempts of similar nature in this direction. Certain astrophysical aspects are pointed out towards examining the physical realization of such a possibility in realistic gravitational collapse.

description: X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and magnetization measurements are employed to study the structural and magnetic properties of Mn-rich (Mn,Ga)As nanocrystals embedded in GaAs. These nanocomposites are obtained by moderate (400C) and high temperature (560 and 630C) annealing of (Ga,Mn)As layers with Mn concentrations between 0.1 and 2%, grown by molecular beam epitaxy at 270oC. Decomposition of (Ga,Mn)As is already observed at the lowest annealing temperature of 400C for layers with initial Mn content of 1% and 2%. Both cubic and hexagonal (Mn,Ga)As nanocrystals, with similar diameters of 7 - 10 nm are observed to coexist in layers with an initial Mn content of 0.5% after higher temperature annealing. Measurements of magnetization relaxation in the time span 0.1 - 10 000 s provide evidence for superparamagnetic properties of the (Mn,Ga)As nanocrystals, as well as for the absence of spin-glass dynamics. These findings point to weak coupling between nanocrystals even in layers with the highest nanocrystal density.

Fragment-collision model for compound chondrule formation: Estimation of collision probability

description: We propose a new scenario for compound chondrule formation named as "fragment-collision model," in the framework of the shock-wave heating model. A molten cm-sized dust particle (parent) is disrupted in the high-velocity gas flow. The extracted fragments (ejectors) are scattered behind the parent and the mutual collisions between them will occur. We modeled the disruption event by analytic considerations in order to estimate the probability of the mutual collisions assuming that all ejectors have the same radius. We found that the estimated collision probability, which is the probability of collisions experienced by an ejector in one disruption event, can account for the observed fraction of compound chondrules. In addition, the model predictions are qualitatively consistent with other observational data (oxygen isotopic composition, textural types, and size ratios of constituents). Based on these results, we concluded that this new model can be one of the strongest candidates for the compound chondrule formation. It should be noted that all collisions do not necessarily lead to the compound chondrule formation. The formation efficiency and the future works which should be investigated in the forthcoming paper are also discussed.

Functional MRI Reveals Compromised Neural Integrity of the Face Processing Network in Congenital Prosopagnosia

description: The summed activity of multiple nodes of a distributed cortical network supports face recognition in humans, including ‘‘core’’ ventral occipitotemporal cortex (VOTC) regions [1–3], and ‘‘extended’’ regions outside VOTC [4, 5]. Many individuals with congenital prosopagnosia—an impairment in face processing [6–9]—exhibit normal blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) activation in the core VOTC regions [10, 11]. These individuals evince a reduction in the structural integrity of the white matter tracts connecting VOTC to anterior temporal and frontal cortices [12], part of the ‘‘extended’’ face network. The impairment in congenital prosopagnosia may arise not from a dysfunction of the core VOTC areas but from a failure to propagate signals between the intact VOTC and the extended nodes of the network. Using the fMR adaptation paradigm with famous and unknown faces, we show that individuals with congenital prosopagnosia evince normal adaptation effects in VOTC, indicating sensitivity to facial identity, but show no differential activation for familiar versus unknown faces outside VOTC, particularly in the precuneus/posterior cingulate cortex and the anterior paracingulate cortex. Normal BOLD activation in VOTC is thus insufficient to subserve intact face recognition, and disrupted information propagation between VOTC and the extended face processing network may explain the functional impairment in congenital prosopagnosia.
