description: Small-angle, two-particle correlation functions have been measured for 36Ar+ 112,124Sn collisions at E/A = 61 MeV. Total momentum gated neutron-proton (np) and proton-proton (pp) correlations are stronger for the 124Sn-target. Some of the correlation functions for particle pairs involving deuterons or tritons (nd, pt, and nt) also show a dependence on the isospin of the emitting source.

description: The origin of high-energy emission in blazars jets (i.e., leptonic versus hadronic) has been a long-standing matter of debate. Here, we focus on one variant of hadronic models where proton synchrotron radiation accounts for the observed steady $γ$-ray blazar emission. Using analytical methods, we derive the minimum jet power ($P_{j,\min}$) for the largest blazar sample analyzed to date (145 sources), taking into account uncertainties of observables and jet's physical parameters. We compare $P_{j,\min}$ against three characteristic energy estimators for accreting systems, i.e., the Eddington luminosity, the accretion disk luminosity, and the power of the Blandford-Znajek process, and find that $P_{j,\min}$ is about 2 orders of magnitude higher than all energetic estimators for the majority of our sample. The derived magnetic field strengths in the emission region require either large amplification of the jet's magnetic field (factor of 30) or place the $γ$-ray production site at sub-pc scales. The expected neutrino emission peaks at $\sim 0.1-10$ EeV, with typical peak neutrino fluxes $\sim 10^{-4}$ times lower than the peak $γ$-ray fluxes. We conclude that if relativistic hadrons are present in blazar jets, they can only produce a radiatively subdominant component of the overall spectral energy distribution of the blazar's steady emission.

description: Abstract: This study examines the integration of digital tools in church music education programs, exploring how technology is reshaping traditional methods of music teaching and learning within religious contexts. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected over 12 months from 50 churches across various denominations in the United States, involving 500 survey participants, 50 in-depth interviews, and observations of 20 music education sessions. The findings reveal that 78% of churches have adopted at least one form of digital tool, with music notation software (65%) and mobile apps for music theory (58%) being the most commonly used. Generational differences were observed, with younger members showing higher enthusiasm for digital tools, while older members initially expressed skepticism, although 62% reported positive experiences after use. The use of digital tools was found to improve teaching efficiency (73%) and increase student engagement (68%), leading to a 25% rise in music literacy rates among congregants. However, challenges such as implementation costs, technological literacy, and concerns over preserving traditional worship practices were identified. The study concludes that while digital tools offer significant benefits, successful integration requires balancing innovation with tradition to enhance, rather than replace, the communal and spiritual aspects of worship music. Future research should explore the long-term impact of these tools on church music traditions and the potential of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence in music composition.

description: The lack of detection of supersymmetric particles is leading to look at alternative avenues for explaining dark matter's effects. Among them, modified theories of gravity may play an important role accounting even for both dark components needed in the standard cosmological model. Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity theory has been proposed to resolve the dark matter puzzle. Such a modified gravity model introduces, in its weak field limit, a Yukawa-like correction to the Newtonian potential, and is capable to explain most of the phenomenology related to dark matter at scale of galaxies and galaxy clusters. Nevertheless, some inconsistencies appears when studying systems that are supposed to be dark matter dominated such as dwarf galaxies. In this sense Antlia II, an extremely diffuse galaxy which has been recently discovered in {\em Gaia}'s second data release, may serve to probe the aforementioned theory against the need for invoking dark matter. Our analysis shows several inconsistencies and leads to argue that MOdified Gravity may not be able to shed light on the intriguing nature of dark matter.

description: Grower Groups have contributed to the Western Australian agricultural research, development and extension (R, D & E) scene since their formation during the “Decade of Landcare” in the 1990s. The Grower Group (GG) approach to R, D & E has been thoroughly studied in terms of its qualitative value to farmers in Western Australia. However, the quantitative value of GG services to West Australian farmers is not yet understood. This paper attempts to determine the value of GGs to Western Australian farmers; and to better understand what GGs are doing, or need to do, to motivate farmers to become a member of these research organisations. This was conducted by surveying farmers across the state, with values inferred through the choice experiment methodology. The findings from this study demonstrate that farmers, who are currently a member of a GG, are willing to pay above current membership rates when provided with a variety of extension topics. However, there appears to be a perception amongst farmers, who are currently not a member of a GG, that research and extension coordinated by GGs will not be of any value to their farming business. The implications of these findings will be made available to GGs to assist them in improving their services and relevance in the agricultural industry.

description: Homer Legacy software is a well-known software for simulation of small hybrid systems that can be used for both design and research. This dataset is a set of files generated by Homer Legacy bringing the simulation results of hybrid energy systems over the last seven years, as a consequence of the research work led by Dr. Alexandre Beluco, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil. The data correspond to thirty papers published in the last seven years. Two of them describe hydro PV hybrid systems with photovoltaic panels operating on the water surface of reservoirs. One of these twelve papers suggests the model-ing of hydropower plants with reservoirs and the other the modeling of pumped hydro stor-age, and a third still uses these models in a place that could receive both the two types of hy-droelectric power plant. The other simulated hybrid systems include wind turbines, diesel generators, batteries, among other components. This data article describes the files that inte-grate this dataset and the papers that have been published presenting the hybrid systems under study and discussing the results. The files that make up this dataset are available on Mendeley Data repository at dx.doi.org/10.17632/ybxsttf2by.2.

title: Black and Asian British Life Writing: Race, Gender and Representation in Selected Novels From the 1990s
Creators: name: Laursen, Ole Birk
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: This thesis explores six post-1990s black and Asian British women novelists and the ways in which they utilise life writing strategies in their novels. Using a comparative approach, it explores how their novels are informed by issues of diaspora, hybridity and cultural identity, and how these questions are implicitly linked to the autobiographical nature of their novels. Attention is paid to how these novelists represent their individual subjective identities and how their particular experiences are linked to the narrative structures of their novels. My contention is that these novelists employ autobiographical strategies in their novels to challenge in fictional form the dominant discourses of race, gender and cultural identity, and that such strategies allow these authors to re-imagine and re-assert their subjectivities in fiction. As a frame for my analysis, I focus on three themes - the politics of location, the notion of trauma and the narration of family - and examine how these six novelists utilise autobiographical strategies in order to explore these issues. This approach allows me to both identify some key characteristics which are common to black and Asian British women’s life writing as well as highlight differences which point to the diversity of this body of literature. My theoretical framework draws heavily on, first, feminist and postcolonial theorists and critics of autobiography and life writing and, second, black British cultural theorists and critics. Throughout the thesis, I interrogate the limitations of existing feminist and postcolonial autobiography and life writing theories when applied in this context, and address concerns over certain aspects of existing black British cultural theory.

We point out here that ``tails,'' the inverse power-law decrease of late-time fields, cannot be expected for such computations. We present computational demonstrations and discussions of features of late-time behavior in an evolution with a boundary condition.

High-energy effective theory for a bulk brane

description: We derive an effective theory describing the physics of a bulk brane in the context of the RS1 model. This theory goes beyond the usual low energy effective theory in that it describes the regime where the bulk brane has a large velocity and the radion can change rapidly. We achieve this by concentrating on the region where the distance between the orbifold planes is small in comparison to the AdS length scale. Consequently our effective theory will describe the physics shortly before a bulk/boundary or boundary/boundary brane collision. We study the cosmological solutions and find that, at large velocities, the bulk brane decouples from the matter on the boundary branes, a result which remains true for cosmological perturbations.

description: The second Gaia data release (Gaia DR2) provided us with the precise five-parameter astrometry for 1.3 billion of sources. As stars passing close to the Solar System are thought to be responsible for influencing the dynamical history of long period comets, we update and extend the list of stars that could potentially perturb motion of these comets. We aim to announce a publicly available database containing an up to date list of stars and stellar systems potentially perturbing long period comets motion. We add new objects and revise previously published lists. Special emphasis was placed on stellar systems. Discussion on masses estimation is included. Using the astrometry, preferably from Gaia DR2, augmented with data from other sources, we calculate spatial positions and velocities for each star. To filter studied objects on the basis of their minimal heliocentric distances we numerically integrate motion of stars under the Galactic potential and their mutual interactions. We announce the updated list of stellar perturbers of cometary motion, including masses of perturbers along with the publicly available database interface. These data are ready to be used with the observed long period comets orbits to study an individual influence of a whole sample of perturbers, or specific stars, on a dynamical past or future of a specific comet. 147 new perturbers were added in comparison to the previously published sources. We demonstrate that a new set of potential perturbers constitute an important tool in studies of cometary dynamics. The usage of our data significantly changes results of the past and future comet motion analysis. We point out a puzzling object in our list, star ALS 9243. The Gaia DR2 astrometry suggests a very close encounter of this star with the Sun however, its astrophysical parameters result in a completely different current distance of ALS 9243 and its large mass.

description: We investigate the spatial motion of the trapped atom with the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) configuration where the two Rabi transitions are coupled to two classical light fields respectively with the same detuning. When the internal degrees of freedom can be decoupled adiabatically from the spatial motion of the center of mass via the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, it is demonstrated that the lights of certain profile can provide the atom with an effective field of magnetic monopole, which is the so-called induced gauge field relevant to the Berry's phase. Such an artificial magnetic monopole structure manifests itself in the characterizing energy spectrum.

Origin of Chaos in the Prometheus-Pandora System

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

description: We demonstrate that the chaotic orbits of Prometheus and Pandora are due to interactions associated with the 121:118 mean motion resonance. Differential precession splits this resonance into a quartet of components equally spaced in frequency. Libration widths of the individual components exceed the splitting resulting in resonance overlap which causes the chaos. A single degree of freedom model captures the essential features of the chaotic dynamics. Mean motions of Prometheus and Pandora wander chaotically in zones of width 1.8 deg/yr and 3.1 deg/yr, respectively.

description: Most of our lifetime is determined by working, which not only provides us with income, but also creates identity, meaning and status. Work, however, is determined by an overarching socio-economic structure, which reaches beyond crude working sectors. Thus, in this paper, we speak of "working worlds". Driven by a variety of distinct processes, the working world is constantly changing. This is not only a result of new technologies, but also due to social dynamics such as demographic change, economic events or generation-related perspectives. In addition, since the global pandemic took place, the transformation of working worlds accelerated significantly. This creates both opportunities and challenges for individuals as well as entire societies. But one should not assume that these conditions prevail in the same way in different parts of the world. Rather, the framework conditions are as diverse as the working worlds and vice versa. With this in mind, the present paper is focusing on the conditions and dynamics of the working worlds in Germany and South Korea, with the aim of providing recommendations as perceived by the young generation.

title: Radiated Emissions From High Frequency Powerline Telecommunications (PLT) Systems
Creators: name: Summers, Iain
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: The use of broadband Powerline Telecommunications (PLT) to deliver high speed services has been anticipated since the late 1990s. Due to its radiated emissions in the High Frequency (HF) band, the regulatory authorities have had difficulty in defining a repeatable measurement technique and an acceptable radiated limit for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) compliance. Other researchers have undertaken work to predict, model or measure the effects on victim receivers but the uncertainty of the measurements is rarely discussed. This thesis identifies the areas of uncertainty in PLT radiated emission measurements and recommends a method to account for the measurement errors. A measurement campaign was undertaken in urban, rural and semi-rural test sites in the UK to demonstrate the effects of antenna type, orientation and measurement distance. Furthermore for each measurement location, attenuation with distance properties are described which can be used in the prediction of PLT radiated emissions at a distance. Additionally the K-factor which had previously been thought to be a useful parameter is calculated at each location and is shown to be of little value in the determination of a “safe radiated emission limit” for PLT. A novel test method of mutual interference testing is described which provides a more realistic demonstration of the effects of PLT radiated emissions on HF receivers. In conjunction with a risk mitigation strategy a compromise radiated emission limit is recommended that may facilitate the regulation of PLT.

description: With the rapid development of manufacturing industry, machine fault diagnosis has become increasingly significant to ensure safe equipment operation and production. Consequently, multifarious approaches have been explored and developed in the past years, of which intelligent algorithms develop particularly rapidly. Convolutional neural network, as a typical representative of intelligent diagnostic models, has been extensively studied and applied in recent five years, and a large amount of literature has been published in academic journals and conference proceedings. However, there has not been a systematic review to cover these studies and make a prospect for the further research. To fill in this gap, this work attempts to review and summarize the development of the Convolutional Network based Fault Diagnosis (CNFD) approaches comprehensively. Generally, a typical CNFD framework is composed of the following steps, namely, data collection, model construction, and feature learning and decision making, thus this paper is organized by following this stream. Firstly, data collection process is described, in which several popular datasets are introduced. Then, the fundamental theory from the basic convolutional neural network to its variants is elaborated. After that, the applications of CNFD are reviewed in terms of three mainstream directions, i.e. classification, prediction and transfer diagnosis. Finally, conclusions and prospects are presented to point out the characteristics of current development, facing challenges and future trends. Last but not least, it is expected that this work would provide convenience and inspire further exploration for researchers in this field.

SARS covers the region 0 < decl < -65 deg, R.A. < 5h, R.A. > 21h (while avoiding the LMC and SMC) with b > 40. Cluster locations were chosen from the Abell and Abell-Corwin-Olowin catalogs while galaxy positions were selected from the Automatic Plate Measuring Facility galaxy catalog with extinction-corrected magnitudes in the range 15 <= b_j < 19. SARS utilized the Las Campanas 2.5 m duPont telescope, observing either 65 or 128 objects concurrently over a 1.5 sq deg field. New redshifts for 3440 galaxies are reported in the fields of these 39 clusters of galaxies.

description: Ince-Gaussian (IG) mode, a recently discovered type of structured Gaussian beam, corresponds to eigenfunctions of the paraxial wave equation in elliptical coordinates. This propagation-invariant mode is of significance in various domains, and in particular, its nonlinear transformation; however, there have been few relevant studies to date. In this work, we report the parametric upconversion of IG modes and associated full-field selection rule for the first time. We demonstrate that IG signals can be perfectly upconverted by a flattop-beam pump; in contrast, significant mode distortion occurred when using the most common Gaussian pump. Particular attention was given to the origin of the distortion, i.e., radial-mode degeneration induced by the sum-frequency generation excited by Gaussian pump. This proof-of-principle demonstration has great significance in relevant areas, such as high-dimension quantum frequency interfacing and upconversion imaging.

description: The accession to European Union (EU) in 2004 has resulted multiple kinds of agro-trade possibilities and dif- ϐiculties for the Vsiegrad countries. The liquidation of customs and other trade barriers led immediately to an increased trade. The gradually growing trade intensity was much stronger in case of the old EU member states than in case of the neighbouring countries and occurred faster. The free ϐlow of goods on the common international market was set and enhanced, and enabled trade expansions following the integration. The objective of the paper the review of changes of trading processes within the examined country group following the Eastern enlargement. In addition, the key issue is to what products the comparative advantage principle could be applied, what products were able to realize competitive advantage in trade – in relation to Hungary.

description: The article examines sources of obtaining a competitive advantage by regions. Such an examination is an indispensable element of creating region’s strategic development, including the shaping of the area’s own image. In a market economy all actions including those of local governments, are based on marketing principles. The conscious recognition of that approach is increasingly common as much as the frequent demonstration of various undertaken actions. The article reviews regional development strategies in Poland and presents information about competitive advantage sources included in individual strategies in the context of the undertaken marketing efforts, including the shaping of a territorial administrative entity.
The New Physics at RHIC. From Transparency to High p$_t$ Suppression
Creators: name: Gaardhoje, Jens Jorgen

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies (Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV) exhibit significant new features as compared to earlier experiments at lower energies. The reaction is characterized by a high degree of transparency of the collisions partners leading to the formation of a baryon-poor central region. In this zone, particle production occurs mainly from the stretching of the color field. The initial energy density is well above the one considered necessary for the formation of the Quark Gluon Plasma, QGP. The production of charged particles of various masses is consistent with chemical and thermal equilibrium. Recently, a suppression of the high transverse momentum component of hadron spectra has been observed in central Au+Au collisions. This can be explained by the energy loss experienced by leading partons in a medium with a high density of unscreened color charges. In contrast, such high $p_t$ jets are not suppressed in d+Au collisions suggesting that the high $p_t$ suppression is not due to initial state effects in the ultrarelativistic colliding nuclei.

Signatures of the two $K_1(1270)$ poles in $D^+\to νe^+ V P$ decay

description: We analyze theoretically the $D^+\to νe^+ ρ\bar K$ and $D^+\to νe^+ \bar K^* π$ decays to see the feasibility to check the double pole nature of the axial-vector resonance $K_1(1270)$ predicted by the unitary extensions of chiral perturbation theory (UChPT). Indeed, within UChPT the $K_1(1270)$ is dynamically generated from the interaction of a vector and a pseudoscalar meson, and two poles are obtained for the quantum numbers of this resonance. The lower mass pole couples dominantly to $K^*π$ and the higher mass pole to $ρK$, therefore we can expect that different reactions weighing differently these channels in the production mechanisms enhance one or the other pole. We show that the different final $VP$ channels in $D^+\to νe^+ V P$ weigh differently both poles, and this is reflected in the shape of the final vector-pseudoscalar invariant mass distributions. Therefore, we conclude that these decays are suitable to distinguish experimentally the predicted double pole of the $K_1(1270)$ resonance.

description: Fluctuations of charged particle number are studied in the canonical ensemble. In the infinite volume limit the fluctuations in the canonical ensemble are different from the fluctuations in the grand canonical one. Thus, the well-known equivalence of both ensembles for the average quantities does not extend for the fluctuations. In view of a possible relevance of the results for the analysis of fluctuations in nuclear collisions at high energies, a role of the limited kinematical acceptance is studied.

description: Stimulating capital inϐlow of high-tech investment and supporting knowledge-based ventures are key activities building an innovative regional economy. Regional authorities and scientists studying development issues are increasingly interested in the key activities. The main objective of this study is the identiϐication of activities of foreign and domestic entities on the high-tech investment market. The key research issue is the application of the strategic marketing approach in the process of shaping the high-tech sector. The study is motivated by the knowledge gap about marketing strategies regarding a speciϐic market, i.e., the high-tech investment. The study includes a review of literature about the theory of the issue, while in the empirical context also analyzing the strategic documents and data obtained from the interviews with the local government and agency representatives servicing investors. Given the results, only a few territorial entities attempt to shape the high-tech sector in accordance to marketing strategies. Marketing efforts of regional authorities seldom are subjected to strategic planning and concentrate on operations, most often involving actions without speciϐically targeting needs of a deϐined investor group. The conducted study identiϐied and deϐined marketing strategies of establishing a high-tech sector in a region and named conditions of their effective implementation. Examples of regions, where a high-tech sector has been established, conϐirm the effectiveness of the professional approach to strategic marketing. The implementation of specially prepared action plans, the authorities, responsible for the management of a territorial entity, are able to inϐluence the investor decision regarding location and build the innovation potential of the economy.
title: Strategies for Devising Automatic Signal Recognition Algorithms in a Shared Radio Environment
Creators: name: Wagstaff, Adrian John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: In an increasingly congested and complex radio environment interference is to be expected, which poses problems for Automatic Signal Recognition (ASR) systems. This thesis explores strategies for improving ASR performance in the presence of interference. The thesis breaks the overall research question down into a number of subquestions and explores each of these in turn. A Phase-symmetric Cross Recurrence Plot is developed and used to show how a radio signal can be manipulated to separate information about the modulation from the information being carried. The Logarithmic Cyclic frequency Domain Profile is introduced to illustrate how a logarithmic representation can be used for analysing mixtures of signals with very different cyclic frequencies. After defining a canonical ASR system architecture, the concepts of an Ideal Feature and Interference Selectivity are introduced and applied to typical features used in ASR processing. Finally it is shown how these algorithmic developments can be combined in a Bayesian chain implementation that can accommodate a wide variety of feature extraction algorithms. It is concluded that future ASR systems will require features that can handle a wide range of signal types with much higher levels of interference selectivity if they are to achieve acceptable performance in shared spectrum bands. Intelligent segmentation is shown to be a requirement for future ASR systems unless features can be developed that have near ideal performance.

A New Approach to Solar Flare Prediction

description: All three components of the current density are required to compute the heating rate due to free magnetic energy dissipation. Here we present a first test of a new model developed to determine if the times of increases in the resistive heating rate in active region (AR) photospheres are correlated with the subsequent occurrence of M and X flares in the corona. A data driven, 3 D, non-force-free magnetohydrodynamic model restricted to the near-photospheric region is used to compute time series of the complete current density and the resistive heating rate per unit volume $(Q(t))$ in each pixel in neutral line regions (NLRs) of 14 ARs. The model is driven by time series of the magnetic field ${\bf B}$ measured by the Helioseismic & Magnetic Imager on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) satellite. Spurious Doppler periods due to SDO orbital motion are filtered out of the time series for ${\bf B}$ in every AR pixel. For each AR, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the values of the NLR area integral $Q_i(t)$ of $Q(t)$ is found to be a scale invariant power law distribution essentially identical to the observed CDF for the total energy released in coronal flares. This suggests that coronal flares and the photospheric $Q_i$ are correlated, and powered by the same process. The model predicts spikes in $Q_i$ with values orders of magnitude above background values. These spikes are driven by spikes in the non-force free component of the current density. The times of these spikes are plausibly correlated with times of subsequent M or X flares a few hours to a few days later. The spikes occur on granulation scales, and may be signatures of heating in horizontal current sheets. It is also found that the times of relatively large values of the rate of change of the NLR unsigned magnetic flux are also plausibly correlated with the times of subsequent M and X flares, and spikes in $Q_i$.
