description: Advances in lidar technology have made the collection of 3D point clouds fast and easy. While most lidar sensors return per-point intensity (or reflectance) values along with range measurements, flash lidar sensors are able to provide information about the shape of the return pulse. The shape of the return waveform is affected by many factors, including the distance that the light pulse travels and the angle of incidence with a surface. Importantly, the shape of the return waveform also depends on the material properties of the reflecting surface. In this paper, we investigate whether the material type or class can be determined from the full-waveform response. First, as a proof of concept, we demonstrate that the extra information about material class, if known accurately, can improve performance on scene understanding tasks such as semantic segmentation. Next, we learn two different full-waveform material classifiers: a random forest classifier and a temporal convolutional neural network (TCN) classifier. We find that, in some cases, material types can be distinguished, and that the TCN generally performs better across a wider range of materials. However, factors such as angle of incidence, material colour, and material similarity may hinder overall performance.

description: The metal content of clusters of galaxies and its relation to their stellar content is revisited making use of a cluster sample for which all four basic parameters are homogeneously measured within consistent radii, namely core-excised mass-weighted metallicity plus total, stellar and ICM masses. For clusters of total mass $M_{500} >$ $\sim 10^{14}$ $M_{\odot}$ nice agreement is found between their iron content and what expected from empirical supernova yields. For the same clusters, there also appears to be at least as much iron in the intracluster medium (ICM) as there is still locked into stars (i.e., the ICM/stars metal share is about unity). However, for more massive clusters the stellar mass fraction appears to drop substantially without being accompanied by a drop in the ICM metallicity, thus generating a major tension with the nucleosynthesis expectation and inflating the metal share to extremely high values (up to $\sim 6$). Various possible solutions of this conundrum are discussed, but are all considered either astrophysically implausible, or lacking an independent observational support. For this reason we still entertain the possibility that even some of the best cluster data may be faulty, though we are not able to identify any obvious bias. Finally, based on the stellar mass-metallicity relation for local galaxies we estimate the contribution of galaxies to the ICM enrichment as a function of their mass, concluding that even the most massive galaxies must have lost a major fraction of the metals they have produced.

description: Superconducting germanium films are an intriguing material for possible applications in fields such as cryogenic electronics and quantum bits. Recently, there has been great deal of progress in hyperdoping of Ga doped Ge using ion implantation. The thin film growths would be advantageous allowing homoepitaxy of doped and undoped Ge films opening possibilities for vertical Josephson junctions. Here, we present our studies on the growth of one layer of hyperdoped superconducting germanium thin film via molecular beam epitaxy. We observe a fragile superconducting phase which is extremely sensitive to processing conditions and can easily phase-segregate, forming a percolated network of pure gallium metal. By suppressing phase segregation through temperature control we find a superconducting phase that is unique and appears coherent to the underlying Ge substrate.

description: A new series of novel α-aminophosphonate derivatives have been synthesized by new rapid and convenient approach, based on the stepwise one pot reaction of 2-hydroxyaniline, aromatic aldehydes and triethyl phosphite. The structures of all compounds have been identified by appropriate spectroscopic methods such as FTIR, 1H, 13C, 31P NMR and ESI-MS. The crystal structure of diethyl-(2-fluorophenyl)-(2-hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)amino phosphonate has been determined, it crystallizes in the P-1 space group. In vitro antifungal activity of the synthesized compounds were tested against wheat fusarium (Fusarium oxysporum) and compared with standard antifungal drug Chlorpyriphos EC to explore their potential antifungal activity. We also measured the antioxidant activity of these molecules, compared with vitamin C as standard antioxidant.

description: Group field theory has shown to be a promising framework to derive cosmological predictions from full quantum gravity. In this brief note, we revisit the background dynamics when interaction terms are taken into account and conclude that, although the bounce is clearly robust, providing a geometrical explanation for inflation seems to be very difficult. We consider possible improvements and modifications of the original scenario and derive several limits on the parameters of the model.

description: We demonstrate, by a number of examples, that information-flow security properties can be proved from abstract architectural descriptions, that describe only the causal structure of a system and local properties of trusted components. We specify these architectural descriptions of systems by generalizing intransitive noninterference policies to admit the ability to filter information passed between communicating domains. A notion of refinement of such system architectures is developed that supports top-down development of architectural specifications and proofs by abstraction of information security properties. We also show that, in a concrete setting where the causal structure is enforced by access control, a static check of the access control setting plus local verification of the trusted components is sufficient to prove that a generalized intransitive noninterference policy is satisfied.

description: We compute a series of finite-source parameter inversions of the fault rupture of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake based on 1 Hz GPS records only. We confirm that some of the co-seismic slip at shallow depth (<5 km) constrained by InSAR data processing results from early post-seismic deformation. We also show 1) that if located very close to the rupture, a GPS receiver can saturate while it remains possible to estimate the ground velocity (~1.2 m/s) near the fault, 2) that GPS waveforms inversions constrain that the slip distribution at depth even when GPS monuments are not located directly above the ruptured areas and 3) the slip distribution at depth from our best models agree with that recovered from strong motion data. The 95th percentile of the slip amplitudes for rupture velocities ranging from 2 to 5 km/s is, 55 +/- 6 cm.

Both relaxation modulus and creep compliance for model parameters obeying thermodynamical constraints, proved that can also be oscillatory functions with decreasing amplitude.

description: We present the time dynamics of twisted quantum states. We find an explicit connection between the well-known stationary Landau state and an evolving twisted state, even when the Hamiltonian accounts for linear energy dissipation. Utilizing this unitary connection, we analyze nonstationary Landau states and unveil some of their properties. The proposed transformation enables simple evaluation of different operator mean values for the evolving twisted state based on the solution to the classical Ermakov equation and matrix elements calculated on the stationary Landau states. The suggested formalism may significantly simplify analysis and become a convenient tool for further theoretical development on the dissipative evolution of the twisted quantum wave packet.

description: We study effects of high-energy particles on the accretion flows onto a supermassive black hole and luminosities of escaping particles such as protons, neutrons, gamma-rays, and neutrinos. We formulate a one-dimensional model of the two-component accretion flow consisting of thermal particles and high-energy particles, supposing that some fraction of the released energy is converted to the acceleration of the high-energy particles. The thermal component is governed by fluid dynamics while the high-energy particles obey the moment equations of the diffusion-convection equation. By solving the time evolution of these equations, we obtain advection dominated flows as the steady state solutions. Effects of the high-energy particles on the flow structures turn out to be small even if the pressure of the high-energy particles dominates over the thermal pressure. For a model in which the escaping protons take away almost all the released energy, the high-energy particles have large influence enough to make the flow have the Keplerian angular velocity at the inner region. We calculate the luminosities of the escaping particles for these steady solutions. The escaping particles can extract the energy from about $10^{-4}\dot M c^2$ to $10^{-2}\dot M c^2$, where $\dot M$ is the mass accretion rates. The luminosities of the escaping particles depend on the parameters such as the injection Lorentz factors, the mass accretion rates, and the diffusion coefficients. We also discuss some implications on the relativistic jet production by the escaping particles.

description: The gravitationally lensed Supernova Refsdal appeared in multiple images, produced through gravitational lensing by a massive foreground galaxy cluster. After the supernova appeared in 2014, lens models of the galaxy cluster predicted an additional image of the supernova would appear in 2015, which was subsequently observed. We use the time delays between the images to perform a blinded measurement of the expansion rate of the Universe, quantified by the Hubble constant (H0). Using eight cluster lens models, we infer H0 = 64.8 +4.4-4.3 km / s / Mpc, where Mpc is the megaparsec. Using the two models most consistent with the observations, we find H0 = 66.6 +4.1-3.3 km / s / Mpc. The observations are best reproduced by models that assign dark-matter halos to individual galaxies and the overall cluster.

description: Introduction: In 2009, The Lancet identified climate change as the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century. Understanding the health impact of climate change and extreme weather events is crucial for all health professionals. Vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, young children and the elderly are particularly affected by climate change. For example, pregnant women are at higher risk of mortality from extreme heat because of their limited ability for adaptation. Pregnancy and childbirth can be used to raise awareness of healthy and sustainable lifestyle changes, and those affected are more likely to be accepting. Health professionals are required to develop skills to identify and integrate the health impacts of climate change into their work with clients. At the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), the topic of "Impacts of climate change" on health is rarely included in the curriculum of the bachelor's degree programe in Health. The relevance of the topic has been outlined for the education and training of health professionals and appeals for existing teaching and learning formats to be supplemented by the topics of climate and sustainability. For this reason, an elective module is offered for students of all degree programe (Occupational Therapy, Health Promotion & Prevention, Midwifery, Nursing and Physiotherapy). The issue is particularly important for midwives because they provide care to people in a sensitive phase of their lives in which climate change has a major impact.

Course aim: Participants will gain an insight into the structure and implementation of the interprofessional elective module "Climate (Change) & Health" offered in the ZHAW midwifery programe. The aim of the workshop is to stimulate interdisciplinary exchange. It will focus on the following questions What ideas are there for the development of skills in the role of a change agent? What are the challenges in the didactic and methodological preparation of the topic of "climate change" in the teaching? What possibilities and experiences already exist for interdisciplinary training in the context of climate change and sustainability?

Workshop Structure: After a short input, participants will be invited to discuss different questions. The exchange of experiences should serve as a basis for ideas for own implementation of the topic "climate (change) & health" or a larger field in professional education.

description: In this work, we combine the semi-analytic model of galaxy formation and evolution SAG with the $102$ relaxed simulated galaxy clusters from The Three Hundred project, and we study the link between the quenching of star formation (SF) and the physical processes that galaxies experience through their dynamical history in and around clusters. We classify galaxies in four populations based on their orbital history: recent and ancient infallers, and backsplash and neighbouring galaxies. We find that $\sim 85$ per cent of the current population of quenched galaxies located inside the clusters are ancient infallers with low or null content of hot and cold gas. The fraction of quenched ancient infallers increases strongly between the first and second pericentric passage, due to the removal of hot gas by the action of ram-pressure stripping (RPS). The majority of them quenches after the first pericentric passage, but a non-negligible fraction needs a second passage, specially galaxies with $M_\star \leq 10^{10.5} \, {\rm M_\odot}$. Recent infallers represent $\sim 15$ per cent of the quenched galaxies located inside the cluster and, on average, they contain a high proportion of hot and cold gas; moreover, pre-processing effects are the responsible for quenching the recent infallers prior to infall onto the main cluster progenitor. The $\sim 65$ per cent of quenched galaxies located around clusters are backsplash galaxies, for which the combination of RPS acting during a pre-processing stage and inside the cluster is necessary for the suppression of SF in this population.

Untargeted Bayesian search of anisotropic gravitational-wave backgrounds through the analytical marginalization of the posterior

description: We develop a method to perform an untargeted Bayesian search for anisotropic gravitational-wave backgrounds that can efficiently and accurately reconstruct the background intensity map. Our method employs an analytic marginalization of the posterior of the spherical-harmonic components of the intensity map, without assuming the background possesses any specific angular structure. The key idea is that the likelihood function of the spherical-harmonic components is a multivariate Gaussian when the intensity map is expressed as a linear combination of the spherical-harmonic components and the noise is stationary and Gaussian. If a uniform and wide prior of these spherical-harmonic components is prescribed, the marginalized posterior and the Bayes factor can be well approximated by a high-dimensional Gaussian integral. The analytical marginalization allows us to regard the spherical-harmonic components of the intensity map of the background as free parameters, and to construct their individual marginalized posterior distribution in a reasonable time, even though many spherical-harmonic components are required. The marginalized posteriors can, in turn, be used to accurately construct the intensity map of the background. By applying our method to mock data, we show that we can recover precisely the angular structures of various simulated anisotropic backgrounds, without assuming prior knowledge of the relation between the spherical-harmonic components predicted by a given model. Our method allows us to bypass the time-consuming numerical sampling of a high-dimensional posterior, leading to a more model-independent and untargeted Bayesian measurement of the angular structures of the gravitational-wave background.

description: Spicules are plasma jets, observed in the dynamic interface region between the visible solar surface and the hot corona. At any given time, it is estimated that about 3 million spicules are present on the Sun. We find an intriguing parallel between the simulated spicular forest in a solar-like atmosphere and the numerous jets of polymeric fluids when both are subjected to harmonic forcing. In a radiative magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulation with sub-surface convection, solar global surface oscillations are excited similarly to those harmonic vibrations. The jets thus produced match remarkably well with the forests of spicules detected in observations of the Sun. Taken together, the numerical simulations of the Sun and the laboratory fluid dynamics experiments provide insights into the mechanism underlying the ubiquity of jets: the nonlinear focusing of quasi-periodic waves in anisotropic media of magnetized plasma as well as polymeric fluids under gravity is sufficient to generate a forest of spicules on the Sun.

description: We report here fabrication of interdigitated photoconductive antenna (iPCA) terahertz (THz) emitters based on plasmonic electrode design. Novel design of this iPCA enables it to work without microlens array focusing, which is otherwise required for photo excitation of selective photoconductive regions to avoid the destructive interference of emitted THz radiation from oppositely biased regions. Benefit of iPCA over single active region PCA is that photo excitation can be done at larger area, hence avoiding the saturation effected at higher optical excitation density. The emitted THz radiation power from plasmonic-iPCAs is ~ 2 times more than the single active region plasmonic PCA at 200 mW optical excitation, which will further increase at higher optical powers. This design is expected to reduce fabrication cost of photoconductive THz sources and detectors.

However substantial differences were found between the indica and japonica samples that were grown in Malaysia and Japan. By providing a better understanding of plant-microbe interactions in both cultivated and weedy rice, the findings of the present study may help in the improvement of rice productivity and the control and management of weedy rice.

description: The Linguistic Annotation Framework (LAF) provides a general, extensible stand-off markup system for corpora. This paper discusses LAF-Fabric, a new tool to analyse LAF resources in general with an extension to process the Hebrew Bible in particular. We first walk through the history of the Hebrew Bible as text database in decennium-wide steps. Then we describe how LAF-Fabric may serve as an analysis tool for this corpus. Finally, we describe three analytic projects/workflows that benefit from the new LAF representation: 1) the study of linguistic variation: extract cooccurrence data of common nouns between the books of the Bible (Martijn Naaijer); 2) the study of the grammar of Hebrew poetry in the Psalms: extract clause typology (Gino Kalkman); 3) construction of a parser of classical Hebrew by Data Oriented Parsing: generate tree structures from the database (Andreas van Cranenburgh).

description: Wigner crystals are predicted as the crystallization of the dilute electron gas moving in a uniform background when the electron-electron Coulomb energy dominates the kinetic energy. The Wigner crystal has previously been observed in the ultraclean two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) present on the surface of liquid helium and in semiconductor quantum wells at high magnetic field. More recently, Wigner crystals have also been reported in WS2/WSe2 moiré heterostructures. ABC-stacked trilayer graphene on boron nitride (ABC-TLG/hBN) moiré superlattices provide a unique tunable platform to explore Wigner crystal states where the electron correlation can be controlled by electric and magnetic field. Here we report the observation of magnetic field stabilized Wigner crystal states in a ABC-TLG/hBN moiré superlattice. We show that correlated insulating states emerge at multiple fractional and integer fillings corresponding to v = 1/3, 2/3, 1, 4/3, 5/3 and 2 electrons per moiré lattice site under a magnetic field. These correlated insulating states can be attributed to generalized Mott states for the integer fillings (v = 1, 2) and generalized Wigner crystal states for the fractional fillings (v = 1/3, 2/3, 4/3, 5/3). The generalized Wigner crystal states are stabilized by a vertical magnetic field, and they are strongest at one magnetic flux quantum per three moiré superlattices. The correlated insulating states at v = 2 persists up to 30 Tesla, which can be described by a Mott-Hofstadter transition at high magnetic field. The tunable Mott and Wigner crystal states in the ABC-TLG/hBN highlight the opportunities to discover new correlated quantum phases due to the interplay between the magnetic field and moiré flatbands.

description: We report the results of our continuous UBVRI-band photometry of Betelgeuse from 1999 to 2022 using the same photometric system. There are two advantages in our observation: (1) we used a photodiode as a detector to avoid saturation, and (2) our data set includes U-band light curve, which is not widely observed in recent CCD photometries. Using our light curves, we conducted the periodicity analysis, and found ~405- and ~2160-day periods. We also discuss the tentative detection of a long-period variation over 20 years or longer. Finally, we discuss the peculiar variation of the U-B color index during the "Great Dimming" event between late 2019 and early 2020.

description: Following four successful years in the SAE AutoDrive Challenge Series I, the University of Toronto is participating in the Series II competition to develop a Level 4 autonomous passenger vehicle capable of handling various urban driving scenarios by 2025. Accurate detection of traffic lights and correct identification of their states is essential for safe autonomous operation in cities. Herein, we describe our recently-redesigned traffic light perception system for autonomous vehicles like the University of Toronto's self-driving car, Artemis. Similar to most traffic light perception systems, we rely primarily on camera-based object detectors. We deploy the YOLOv5 detector for bounding box regression and traffic light classification across multiple cameras and fuse the observations. To improve robustness, we incorporate priors from high-definition semantic maps and perform state filtering using hidden Markov models. We demonstrate a multi-camera, real time-capable traffic light perception pipeline that handles complex situations including multiple visible intersections, traffic light variations, temporary occlusion, and flashing light states. To validate our system, we collected and annotated a varied dataset incorporating flashing states and a range of occlusion types. Our results show superior performance in challenging real-world scenarios compared to single-frame, single-camera object detection.

description: We study charge-exchange excitations in doubly magic-nuclei by using a self-consistent Hartree-Fock plus Random Phase Approximation model. We use four Gogny-like finite-range interactions, two of them containing tensor forces. We investigate the effects of the various parts of the tensor forces in the two computational steps of our model, and we find that their presence is not negligible and improves the agreement with the experimental data.

description: Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) systems are able to maintain the availability and integrity of IoT systems, in presence of failure of individual components, random data corruption or malicious attacks. Fault-tolerant systems in general are essential in assuring continuity of service for mission critical applications. However, their implementation may be challenging and expensive. In this study, IoT Systems with Byzantine Fault-Tolerance are considered. Analytical models and solutions are presented as well as a detailed analysis for the evaluation of the availability. Byzantine Fault Tolerance is particularly important for blockchain mechanisms, and in turn for IoT, since it can provide a secure, reliable and decentralized infrastructure for IoT devices to communicate and transact with each other. The proposed model is based on continuous-time Markov chains, and it analyses the availability of Byzantine Fault-Tolerant systems. While the availability model is based on a continuous-time Markov chain where the breakdown and repair times follow exponential distributions, the number of the Byzantine nodes in the network studied follows various distributions. The numerical results presented report availability as a function of the number of participants and the relative number of honest actors in the system. It can be concluded from the model that there is a non-linear relationship between the number of servers and network availability; i.e. the availability is inversely proportional to the number of nodes in the system. This relationship is further strengthened as the ratio of break-down rate over repair rate increases.
