description: Water events are the most frequent and costliest climate disasters around the world. In the U.S., an estimated 127 million people who live in coastal areas are at risk of substantial home damage from hurricanes or flooding. In flood emergency management, timely and effective spatial decision-making and intelligent routing depend on flood depth information at a fine spatiotemporal scale. In this paper, crowdsourcing is utilized to collect photos of submerged stop signs, and pair each photo with a pre-flood photo taken at the same location. Each photo pair is then analyzed using deep neural network and image processing to estimate the depth of floodwater in the location of the photo. Generated point-by-point depth data is converted to a flood inundation map and used by an A* search algorithm to determine an optimal flood-free path connecting points of interest. Results provide crucial information to rescue teams and evacuees by enabling effective wayfinding during flooding events.

description: We develop an optimization framework for the design of acoustic cloaks, with the aim of overcoming the limitations of usual transformation-based cloaks in terms of microstructure complexity and shape arbitrarity of the obstacle. This is achieved by recasting the acoustic cloaking design as a nonlinear optimal control problem constrained by a linear elliptic partial differential equation. In this setting, isotropic material properties' distributions realizing the cloak take the form of control functions and a system of first-order optimality conditions is derived accordingly. Such isotropic media can then be obtained in practice with simple hexagonal lattices of inclusions in water. For this reason, the optimization problem is directly formulated to take into account suitable partitions of the control domain Two types of inclusions are considered, and long-wavelength homogenization is used to define the feasible set of material properties that is employed as a constraint in the optimization problem. In this manner, we link the stage of material properties optimization with that of microstructure design, aiming at finding the optimal implementable solution. As a test benchmark, cloaking of the silhouette of a ship is considered, for various frequencies and directions of incidence. The resulting cloak is numerically tested via coupled structural/acoustic simulations.

description: O CIS-tema de arte falhou. Angela Davis, durante uma palestra em São Paulo, pontuou a necessidade que temos de uma nova democracia, pois a que está aí falhou. A forma como ela tem sido praticada falhou e precisamos construir uma outra democracia e, pensando nesta falha do CIS-tema democrático, observo que igualmente este CIS-tema de arte no qual estamos inserides também tem falhado, principalmente, com as corpas dissidentes, as marginalizadas. Durante meu mestrado e agora, no doutorado, minha pesquisa tem construído redes de vivências e experiências para uma análise crítica do CIS-tema de arte, sob diversos marcadores sociais da diferença (raça, gênero, sexualidade, classe…), para tratar da temática das artes das sexualidades. Este artigo surge a partir da minha dissertação e os caminhos que me levaram à criação de trabalhos artísticos envolvendo diferentes linguagens, como GIFs, fotografias e videos, para apresentar o conceito do que intitulei como Pornossexualigrafia.
EVALUATING PERCEPTIONS OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AMONG EMERGENCY NURSES
Creators: name: S Kate Bayhan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Substance use disorder (SUD), a condition that occurs when recurrent alcohol and/or drug use causes clinically significant impairment, is estimated to affect at least 10% of Registered Nurses (RNs), especially in the critical care setting. Impaired nurses present serious risks to patient safety, the physical and psychological wellbeing of the impaired nurse, and the integrity of the nursing profession. Early identification and intervention of SUD in nursing is essential for safe patient care and nursing integrity. Nursing colleagues can be the first to identify an impaired coworker. An anonymous, five-item survey evaluating RN perceptions of SUD among bed-side nurses was administered in a 24-bed Emergency Department (ED). Twenty-seven RNs (65.9%) responded; the majority were females who worked full-time, and half of the respondents had five years or less experience working in the ED. Full-time RNs were not as capable of identifying risk factors of SUD as part-time and per diem nurses. While respondents often identified that reporting a colleague could lead to mandatory entry into a treatment program, perceptions varied as to what happens to an RN colleague once they are reported for suspected on-the-job impairment. These findings support the development of a mandatory online education module to address the misconceptions surrounding SUD as well as clarify the hospital-specific recommendations for addressing nursing SUD.

description: The objective of this study was to bring to light aspects of animal production in the Gezira, Sudan, which had previously not been looked at. This was with a view to establishing a better understanding of animal husbandry in the Gezira, and subsequently making recommendations on improvements within the constraints of the system. Information was gathered during several visits to a selected Gezira village during 1981. Methods of data collection included a livestock survey, owner questionnaire and general observation. From, the results obtained it was concluded that livestock made an important contribution to the welfare of villages in the study area, that management practices were heavily influenced by cropping practices, that animal production levels were generally low, and that there was room for improving the use of by-products as feeds within the constraints of the system.

description: Since using environments that are made according to the service oriented architecture, we have more effective and dynamic applications. Semantic matchmaking process is finding valuable service candidates for substitution. It is a very important aspect of using semantic Web Services. Our proposed matchmaker algorithm performs semantic matching of Web Services on the basis of input and output descriptions of semantic Web Services matching. This technique takes advantages from a graph structure and flow networks. Our novel approach is assigning matchmaking scores to semantics of the inputs and outputs parameters and their types. It makes a flow network in which the weights of the edges are these scores, using FordFulkerson algorithm, we find matching rate of two web services. So, all services should be described in the same Ontology Web Language. Among these candidates, best one is chosen for substitution in the case of an execution failure. Our approach uses the algorithm that has the least running time among all others that can be used for bipartite matching. The importance of problem is that in real systems, many fundamental problems will occur by late answering. So system`s service should always be on and if one of them crashes, it would be replaced fast. Semantic web matchmaker eases this process.

description: We characterize experimentally and theoretically the high-energy dielectric screening properties of the prototypical correlated metal SrVO$_3$. The dynamical structure factor measured by inelastic x-ray scattering spectroscopy as a function of momentum transfer is in very good agreement with first-principles calculations in the adiabatic local density approximation to time-dependent density-functional theory. Our results reveal the crucial importance of crystal local fields in the charge response function of correlated materials: They lead to depolarization effects for localised excitations and couple spectra from different Brillouin zones.

As a test example of the method we study cerium sesquioxide, a strongly correlated Mott-band insulator. The hybrid functional part improves the magnitude of the pd-band gap which is underestimated in the standard approximations to density functional theory while the dynamical mean-field theory part splits the 4f-electron spectra into a lower and an upper Hubbard band.

description: We describe a new method (\textsc{CompaSO}) for identifying groups of particles in cosmological $N$-body simulations. \textsc{CompaSO} builds upon existing spherical overdensity (SO) algorithms by taking into consideration the tidal radius around a smaller halo before competitively assigning halo membership to the particles. In this way, the \textsc{CompaSO} finder allows for more effective deblending of haloes in close proximity as well as the formation of new haloes on the outskirts of larger ones. This halo-finding algorithm is used in the \textsc{AbacusSummit} suite of $N$-body simulations, designed to meet the cosmological simulation requirements of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey. \textsc{CompaSO} is developed as a highly efficient on-the-fly group finder, which is crucial for enabling good load-balancing between the GPU and CPU and the creation of high-resolution merger trees. In this paper, we describe the halo-finding procedure and its particular implementation in \Abacus{Abacus}, accompanying it with a qualitative analysis of the finder. {We test the robustness of the \textsc{CompaSO} catalogues before and after applying the cleaning method described in an accompanying paper and demonstrate its effectiveness by comparing it with other validation techniques.} We then visualise the haloes and their density profiles, finding that they are well fit by the NFW formalism. Finally, we compare other properties such as radius-mass relationships and two-point correlation functions with that of another widely used halo finder, \textsc{ROCKSTAR}.

description: Mixed action theories with chirally symmetric valence fermions exhibit very desirable features both at the level of the lattice calculations as well as in the construction and implementation of the low energy mixed action effective field theory. In this work we show that when such a mixed action effective field theory is projected onto the valence sector, both the Lagrangian and the extrapolation formulae become universal in form through next to leading order, for all variants of discretization methods used for the sea fermions. Our conclusion relies on the chiral nature of the valence quarks. The result implies that for all sea quark methods which are in the same universality class as QCD, the numerical values of the physical coefficients in the various mixed action chiral Lagrangians will be the same up to lattice spacing dependent corrections. This allows us to construct a prescription to determine the mixed action extrapolation formulae for a large class of hadronic correlation functions computed in partially quenched chiral perturbation theory at the one-loop level. For specific examples, we apply this prescription to the nucleon twist--2 matrix elements and the nucleon--nucleon system. In addition, we determine the mixed action extrapolation formula for the neutron EDM as this provides a nice example of a theta-dependent observable; these observables are exceptions to our prescription.

description: The ever-increasing demand for intelligent, automated, and connected mobility solutions pushes for the development of an innovative sixth Generation (6G) of cellular networks. A radical transformation on the physical layer of vehicular communications is planned, with a paradigm shift towards beam-based millimeter Waves or sub-Terahertz communications, which require precise beam pointing for guaranteeing the communication link, especially in high mobility. A key design aspect is a fast and proactive Initial Access (IA) algorithm to select the optimal beam to be used. In this work, we investigate alternative IA techniques to fasten the current fifth-generation (5G) standard, targeting an efficient 6G design. First, we discuss cooperative position-based schemes that rely on the position information. Then, motivated by the intuition of a non-uniform distribution of the communication directions due to road topology constraints, we design two Probabilistic Codebook (PCB) techniques of prioritized beams. In the first one, the PCBs are built leveraging past collected traffic information, while in the second one, we use the Hough Transform over the digital map to extract dominant road directions. We also show that the information coming from the angular probability distribution allows designing non-uniform codebook quantization, reducing the degradation of the performances compared to uniform one. Numerical simulation on realistic scenarios shows that PCBs-based beam selection outperforms the 5G standard in terms of the number of IA trials, with a performance comparable to position-based methods, without requiring the signaling of sensitive information.

description: We calculate correlation functions of the energy-momentum tensor in the vicinity of the deconfinement phase transition of (3+1)-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory and discuss their critical behavior in the vicinity of the second order deconfinement transition. We show that correlation functions of the trace of the energy momentum tensor diverge uniformly at the critical point in proportion to the specific heat singularity. Correlation functions of the pressure, on the other hand, stay finite at the critical point. We discuss the consequences of these findings for the analysis of transport coefficients, in particular the bulk viscosity, in the vicinity of a second order phase transition point.

A twisted FZZ-like dual for the two-dimensional black hole

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We review and study the duality between string theory formulated on a curved exact background (the two dimensional black hole) and string theory in flat space with a tachyon-like potential. We generalize previous results in this subject by discussing a twisted version of the Fateev-Zamolodchikov-Zamolodchikov conjecture. This duality is shown to hold at the level of N-point correlation functions on the sphere topology, and connects tree-level string amplitudes in the Euclidean version of the 2D black hole (x time) to correlation functions in a non-linear sigma-model in flat space but in presence of a tachyon wall potential and a linear dilaton. The dual CFT corresponds to the perturbed 2D quantum gravity coupled to c<1 matter (x time), where the operator that describes the tachyon-like potential can be seen as a n=2 momentum mode perturbation, while the usual sine-Liouville operator would correspond to the vortex sector n =1. We show how the sine-Liouville interaction term arises through a twisting of the marginal deformation introduced here, and discuss such 'twisting' as a non-trivial realization of the symmetries of the theory. After briefly reviewing the computation of correlation functions in sine-Liouville CFT, we give a precise prescription for computing correlation functions in the twisted model. To show the new version of the correspondence we make use of a formula recently proven by S. Ribault and J. Teschner, which connects the correlation functions in the Wess-Zumino-Witten theory to correlation functions in the Liouville theory. Conversely, the duality discussed here can be thought of as a free field realization of such remarkable formula.

description: Let $L^1_\om(G)$ be a Beurling algebra on a locally compact abelian group $G$. We look for general conditions on the weight which allows the vanishing of continuous derivations of $L^1_\om(G)$. This leads us to introducing vector-valued Beurling algebras and considering the translation of operators on them. This is then used to connect the augmentation ideal to the behavior of derivation space. We apply these results to give examples of various classes of Beurling algebras which are weakly amenable, 2-weakly amenable or fail to be even 2-weakly amenable.

description: During fall periods in 2002, 2003 and 2004 three major oceanographic expeditions were carried out in Mamala Bay, Hawaii. These were part of the RASP Remote Anthropogenic Sensing Program. Ikonos and Quickbird optical satellite images of sea surface glint revealed ~100 m spectral anomalies in km^2 averaging patches in regions leading from the Honolulu Sand Island Municipal Outfall diffuser to distances up to 20 km. To determine the mechanisms behind this phenomenon, the RASP expeditions monitored the waters adjacent to the outfall with an array of hydrographic, optical and turbulence microstructure sensors in anomaly and ambient background regions. Drogue tracks and mean turbulence parameters for 2x10^4 microstructure patches were analyzed to understand complex turbulence, fossil turbulence and zombie turbulence near-vertical internal wave transport processes. The dominant mechanism appears to be generic to stratified natural fluids including planet and star atmospheres and is termed beamed zombie turbulence maser action (BZTMA). Most of the bottom turbulent kinetic energy is converted to ~100 m fossil turbulence waves. These activate secondary (zombie) turbulence in outfall fossil turbulence patches that transmit heat, mass, chemical species, momentum and information vertically to the sea surface for detection in an efficient maser action. The transport is beamed in intermittent mixing chimneys.

The measurement of photons leaking out the cavity provides a quantum nondemolition (QND) access to various atomic variables. Depending on the chosen geometry the time resolved light detection projects the atomic quantum state to various atom-number squeezed and Schroedinger cat states. Modifications of the atomic and light properties at a single quantum trajectory are demonstrated. The quantum structure of final states can be revealed by further observations of the same sample.

description: We study the linear stability of the flow of a viscous electrically conducting capillary fluid on a planar fixed plate in the presence of gravity and a uniform magnetic field. We first confirm that the Squire transformation for MHD is compatible with the stress and insulating boundary conditions at the free surface, but argue that unless the flow is driven at fixed Galilei and capillary numbers, the critical mode is not necessarily two-dimensional. We then investigate numerically how a flow-normal magnetic field, and the associated Hartmann steady state, affect the soft and hard instability modes of free surface flow, working in the low magnetic Prandtl number regime of laboratory fluids. Because it is a critical layer instability, the hard mode is found to exhibit similar behaviour to the even unstable mode in channel Hartmann flow, in terms of both the weak influence of Pm on its neutral stability curve, and the dependence of its critical Reynolds number Re_c on the Hartmann number Ha. In contrast, the structure of the soft mode's growth rate contours in the (Re, alpha) plane, where alpha is the wavenumber, differs markedly between problems with small, but nonzero, Pm, and their counterparts in the inductionless limit. As derived from large wavelength approximations, and confirmed numerically, the soft mode's critical Reynolds number grows exponentially with Ha in inductionless problems. However, when Pm is nonzero the Lorentz force originating from the steady state current leads to a modification of Re_c(Ha) to either a sublinearly increasing, or decreasing function of Ha, respectively for problems with insulating and conducting walls. In the former, we also observe pairs of Alfven waves, the upstream propagating wave undergoing an instability at large Alfven numbers.

description: The BIG IoT project focuses on easy integration of the IoT data and services offered by existing IoT platforms and services based on semantic technologies. To enable IoT applications to consume data and services provided by heterogeneous systems and different stakeholders, a common set of ontologies and an RDF triple store with querying functionalities are used in the service discovery phase. The subsequent communication between such applications or services (as consumer) and the provider can be optimized as well. The process of automatically transforming JSON-serialized responses from an IoT data provider to linked data format is discussed and the benefits of this automation are explored in this poster contribution.

description: The XENON10 experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory uses a 15 kg xenon dual phase time projection chamber (XeTPC) to search for dark matter weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The detector measures simultaneously the scintillation and the ionization produced by radiation in pure liquid xenon, to discriminate signal from background down to 4.5 keV nuclear recoil energy. A blind analysis of 58.6 live days of data, acquired between October 6, 2006 and February 14, 2007, and using a fiducial mass of 5.4 kg, excludes previously unexplored parameter space, setting a new 90% C.L. upper limit for the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross-section of 8.8 x 10^{-44} cm^2 for a WIMP mass of 100 GeV/c^2, and 4.5 x 10^{-44} cm^2 for a WIMP mass of 30 GeV/c^2. This result further constrains predictions of supersymmetric models.

description: We present preliminary results of the project OpenGPT-X. At present, the project has developed two multilingual large language models (LLMs) designed to embrace Europe's linguistic diversity by supporting all 24 official languages of the European Union. Trained on a dataset comprising around 60% non-English data and utilizing a custom multilingual tokenizer, our models address the limitations of existing LLMs that predominantly focus on English or a few high-resource languages. We detail the models' development principles, data processing techniques, tokenizer optimization, and training methodologies. The models demonstrate competitive performance across multilingual benchmarks, as evidenced by their performance on European versions of ARC, HellaSwag, MMLU, and TruthfulQA.

description: We have studied the structural and superconductivity properties of the compound LaFeAsO0.9F0.1 under pressures up to 32GPa using synchrotron radiation and diamond anvil cells. We obtain an ambient pressure bulk modulus K_0 = 78(2)GPa, compressibility comparable to some cuprates. At high pressures, the sample is in the overdoped region, with a linear decrease with pressure variation of the superconducting transition temperature.

description: In this note we carry out the counting of states for a black hole in loop quantum gravity, however assuming an equidistant area spectrum. We find that this toy-model is exactly solvable, and we show that its behavior is very similar to that of the correct model. Thus this toy-model can be used as a nice and simplifying `laboratory' for questions about the full theory.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this article, the stability of a general class of spherically symmetric thin-shell wormholes is studied under perturbations preserving the symmetry. For this purpose, the equation of state at the throat is linearized around the static solutions. The formalism presented here is applied to dilaton wormholes and it is found that there is a smaller range of possible stable configurations for them than in the case of Reissner-Nordstrom wormholes with the same charge.

East Caucasian languages

description: Although the FastTrack plugin (as well as formant measurement in general) was originally intended for vowel analysis, we apply it to our sample of laryngeal [h] and epilaryngeal [ħ ʜ] fricatives in Mehweb Dargwa (East Caucasian). This is possible because in these places of articulation (almost) the entire supraglottal tract is involved, and the spectrum is similar in structure to that of vowels. We attempt to determine the optimal FastTrack settings to obtain reliable formant measurements with possibly little manual correction by varying formant ceiling ranges and curvature.

Apart from the fricative segments alone, we also tested FastTrack’s performance on longer signal stretches: fricative with entire surrounding vowels, fricative with 35 ms adjacent vowel intervals to the left and to the right.

Resonances of $A=4$ $T=1$ isospin triplet states within the \textit{ab initio} no-core Gamow shell model

description: The $A=4$ nuclei, i.e., $^4$H, $^4$He and $^4$Li, establish an interesting isospin $T=1$ isobaric system. $^4$H and $^4$Li are unbound broad resonances, whereas $^4$He is deeply bound in its ground state but unbound in all its excited states. The present situation is that experiments so far have not given consistent data on the resonances. Few-body calculations have well studied the scatterings of the $4N$ systems. In the present work, we provide many-body calculations of the broad resonance structures, in an \textit{ab initio} framework with modern realistic interactions. It occurs that, indeed, $^4$H, $^4$Li and excited $^4$He are broad resonances, which is in accordance with experimental observations. The calculations also show that the first $1^-$ excited state almost degenerates with the $2^-$ ground state in the pair of mirror isobars of $^4$H and $^4$Li, which may suggest that the experimental data on energy and width are the mixture of the ground state and the first excited state. The $T = 1$ isospin triplet formed with an excited state of $^4$He and ground states of $^4$H and $^4$Li is studied, focusing on the effect of isospin symmetry breaking.

description: We evaluate the coincidence spectra in the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) $ΛN\go nN$ of $Λ$ hypernuclei $^{4}_Λ$He, $^{5}_Λ$He, $^{12}_Λ$C, $^{16}_Λ$O, and $^{28}_Λ$Si, as a function of the sum of kinetic energies $E_{nN}=E_n+E_N$ for $N=n,p$. The strangeness-changing transition potential is described by the one-meson-exchange model, with commonly used parameterization. Two versions of the Independent-Particle Shell Model (IPSM) are employed to account for the nuclear structure of the final residual nuclei. They are: (a) IPSM-a, where no correlation, except for the Pauli principle, is taken into account, and (b) IPSM-b, where the highly excited hole states are considered to be quasi-stationary and are described by Breit-Wigner distributions, whose widths are estimated from the experimental data. All $np$ and $nn$ spectra exhibit a series of peaks in the energy interval 110 MeV $

Dependence of nuclear binding on hadronic mass variation

description: We examine how the binding of light ($A\leq 8$) nuclei depends on possible variations of hadronic masses, including meson, nucleon, and nucleon-resonance masses. Small variations in hadronic masses may have occurred over time; the present results can help evaluate the consequences for big bang nucleosynthesis. Larger variations may be relevant to current attempts to extrapolate properties of nucleon-nucleon interactions from lattice QCD calculations. Results are presented as derivatives of the energy with respect to the different masses so they can be combined with different predictions of the hadronic mass-dependence on the underlying current-quark mass $m_q$. As an example, we employ a particular set of relations obtained from a study of hadron masses and sigma terms based on Dyson-Schwinger equations and a Poincaré-covariant Faddeev equation for confined quarks and diquarks. We find that nuclear binding decreases moderately rapidly as the quark mass increases, with the deuteron becoming unbound when the pion mass is increased by $\sim$60% (corresponding to an increase in $X_q=m_q/Λ_{QCD}$ of 2.5). In the other direction, the dineutron becomes bound if the pion mass is decreased by $\sim$15% (corresponding to a reduction of $X_q$ by $\sim$30%). If we interpret the disagreement between big bang nucleosynthesis calculations and measurements to be the result of variation in $X_q$, we obtain an estimate $δX_q/X_q=K \cdot (0.013 \pm 0.002)$ where $K \sim 1$ (the expected accuracy in $K$ is about a factor of 2). The result is dominated by $^7$Li data.
