description: In this paper, the space complexity of nonuniform quantum computations is investigated. The model chosen for this are quantum branching programs, which provide a graphic description of sequential quantum algorithms. In the first part of the paper, simulations between quantum branching programs and nonuniform quantum Turing machines are presented which allow to transfer lower and upper bound results between the two models. In the second part of the paper, different variants of quantum OBDDs are compared with their deterministic and randomized counterparts. In the third part, quantum branching programs are considered where the performed unitary operation may depend on the result of a previous measurement. For this model a simulation of randomized OBDDs and exponential lower bounds are presented.

Improvement of Lossless Text Compression Methods using a Hybrid Method by the Integration of RLE, LZW and Huffman Coding Algorithms
Creators: name: Kannah, Abdulmoneim
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: In the field of computer science, data compression is essential in the process of data transfer because it reduces file size without losing information. Issues that depend on the characteristics of the text can greatly affect the effectiveness of any compression algorithm. Consequently, each traditional compression algorithm has its own strengths and limitations. Therefore, a highly efficient compression method that achieves higher compression ratio is needed. In this paper, based on the sequential implementation of Huffman, RLE and LZW algorithms, a hybrid data compression method has been proposed. The algorithms have been individually evaluated and compared in terms of compression ratio and compressed file size. We conclude that in terms of compression ratio and compressed file size, LZW is better than Huffman and RLE. The results show that the proposed hybrid algorithm achieves the highest average compression ratio is 2.42 and the lowest average compressed file size is 1138.5 or less compared to the individual implementations of the algorithms. Thus, it can be concluded that the proposed hybrid method enhances lossless text compression in terms of compression ratio and file size according to compression metrics.
The Services - Data Discovery, Harmonisation, Analysis and Dissemination

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2008

description: The project will setup strategic plans for developments on metadata, data models and software upgrades for data and metadata capture, processing and management which will complement the guiding services in online publishing, discovery, access and analysis of complex data types. Particular attention will be given to the advanced options of DDI 3.0 to handle complex datasets along the entire data-life-cycle. The extension of the thesaurus to other languages will enable natural language resource discovery for an increased number of European researchers. Accordingly developments to the CESSDA portal will enhance the system for researchers by facilitating access to resources discovered via the thesaurus. Needs in comparative research associated with data harmonisation are subject of a particular endeavour. The identification of the demands for harmonisation to standards and conceptual work on metadata structures for harmonisation rules and conversion keys are the central issues on the content side. The draft for a database and the construction of middleware to facilitate the application of harmonisation techniques through the portal are key tasks to setup the functional specifications and realize related technical solutions.

description: Water reuse with Advanced Water Treatment (AWT) is increasingly appealing for urban areas seeking water supply reliability. In cities facing water scarcity, how can large-scale reuse support reliability and how do reuse operations affect water quality, energy use, and water conservation? This paper presents a systems analysis of metropolitan-scale water reuse and its effects on water supply and quality. For the case study of Los Angeles County, California, USA, hydroeconomic modeling is used to evaluate reuse as a contributor to water supply given urban water conservation, drought-induced water scarcity, and costs and benefits for supply and demand. Results indicate that AWT can be a viable source of supply especially when coupled with conservation. Across modeled scenarios, reuse provides as much as 30% of regional supplies. New water reuse with AWT becomes viable when imported water availability is 50% or less of historic values. Existing indirect potable reuse operations in the county remain important. Systemwide energy intensity of operations increases with greater reuse in the absence of water conservation. Modeled influent flow rates to wastewater treatment plants resemble historical values, but extreme flow events could pose risks. The paper offers a holistic framework to evaluate water reuse as a component of urban water management.

description: Motivated by magnetization studies of the "telephon number compound" Sr_14Cu_24O_41 we investigate doped Heisenberg spin rings by means of complete numerical diagonalization of a Heisenberg Hamiltonian that depends parametrically on hole positions. A comparison with experimental magnetization data reveals rather accurate information about the screened electrostatic interaction between the charged holes on the ring which appears to be astonishingly strong.

description: Space has long been seen as being a monolithic whole, a monolithic hull which is grounded in the perception of four walls. Space, however is not quite so trivial, not quite so clinical. Instead, it is an entity of many: beings, forms, phrases, phases, scales. It is not confined nor defined by its boundaries but rather by its intestines; itself is a being. This is a story of an x-ray of Itself, in time and through time, with scale to itself and to others. It is a reel of its life, in real life.

description: Supercapacitors or ultracapacitors are promising for efficient energy storage applications, owing to their high power density, high charge-discharge rates, and long cycle life performance. To achieve this goal, a large specific surface area, an high electronic conductivity and a fast cation intercalation de-intercalation process are generally required in the design and preparation of materials for high-performance supercapacitors. Recently, core-shell heterostructures with multifunctionalities are regarded as one of promising materials for supercapacitors or ultracapacitors applications. In particular, one-dimensional (1D) core-shell heterostructures have sparked great scientific and technological interests due to their high versatility and applicability as the essential components in nanoscale electronics, catalysis, chemical sensing, and energy conversion storage devices. Various metal metal oxide, metal metal, metal oxide metal oxide and metal oxide conductive polymers so far have been investigated. Transition metal hydroxide oxide Co3O4, Co(OH)2, MnO2, Mn(OH)2, NiO, Ni(OH)2 and their compounds storing energy by surface faradaic (redox) reactions were generally integrated with conducting scaffold to build core-shell structure. Intensive studies show that an enlarged active surface area of transition metal hydroxide oxide enables a promoted surface redox reaction and enhanced electrochemical performance. Therefore, controllable synthesis of a hierarchically porous construction with high surface areas is critically important for energy storage.

description: The scattering of electrons on carbon, calcium, and argon targets are analyzed using an approach that incorporates the contributions to the electromagnetic response functions from the quasielastic (QE), inelastic processes, and two-particle and two-hole meson exchange current ($2p-2h$ MEC). This approach describes well the whole energy spectrum of data at very different kinematics. It is shown that the accuracy of the $(e,e')$ cross section calculations in the region between the QE and delta-resonance peaks, where the $2p-2h$ MEC contribution reaches its maximum value, depends on the momentum transfer $|\q|$ and at $|\q|>500$ MeV the calculated and measured cross sections are in agreement within the experimental uncertainties.

CFD Analysis of SAH System Employing Different Rib Shapes
Creators: name: Md Sharique Kamal
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The purpose of this work is to conduct a computational analysis of a roughened solar air heater (SAH) using artificial roughness in the form of several types of ribs. A solar air heater is a kind of heat exchanger that uses sun radiation to produce heat energy. Smooth solar air heaters are considered inefficient because of the poor convective heat transfer coefficient from the absorber plate to the air. To improve the heat transfer rate, artificial roughness is used in the form of double concave ribs. The geometric variables that will be selected are relative roughness height (e/D), relative roughness pitch (P/e), and relative arc radius (r/e). These variables will be analyzed at five different values of Reynolds number (Re), and their impact on heat transfer, friction factor, and thermohydraulic performance parameter (THPP) will be examined using commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, Ansys Fluent. After examining past studies, it has been concluded that the Nusselt number grows as the Reynolds number increases, and the opposite is true for the friction factor. However, when it comes to the relative arc radius (r/e), both the Nusselt number and the friction factor decrease as r/e increases. When a/H is increased from 0.2 to 0.5, the Nusselt number rises from 65.64 to 242.72, and the friction factor rises from 0.0806 to 0.2155 for the range of Re. The Nusselt number rises from 68.88 to 274.29, and the friction factor rises from 0.0876 to 0.6290 over the range of Re considered when e/H increases from 0.4 to 0.8 with a constant value of a/H of 0.3 and β of 30%. When β is increased from 13% to 30% while keeping e/H at a constant value of 0.4 and a/H at a constant value of 0.3, the Nusselt number reduces from 207.92 to 70.26, and the friction factor decreases from 0.1707 to 0.0877 across the range of Re. For a/H, the maximum Nusselt number enhancement and friction factor increment are determined to be 5.86 and 22.15, respectively. These values correspond to a/H of 0.5, e/H of 0.4, and an open area ratio of 30% for the Reynolds number range examined across the smooth duct.

description: The project will undertake strategic work to plan functionality enhancements in data access and data exploration. It will also develop functional specifications for a Shibboleth-based single data-users registration and Sign-On system, incorporating a common CESSDA-wide End-user-licence and logging of data use, for statistical reporting and evaluation purposes and potential solutions to the problem of a common identifier system for data resources, with a version identification for version control purposes. However, all this is dependent upon some thorough procedural groundwork. Europe still consists of some 30+ independent countries with national lawgiving protecting data and privacy. The project aims to build an infrastructure of content and the paper will discuss this as a two-fold problem, availability and access, technical and procedural (legal, administrative and procedures) to ensure access and use. Who can access what and for which purposes is still a very relevant question.

description: We report the discovery of topological magnetism in the candidate magnetic Weyl semimetal CeAlGe. Using neutron scattering we find this system to host several incommensurate, square-coordinated multi-$\vec{k}$ magnetic phases below $T_{\rm{N}}$. The topological properties of a phase stable at intermediate magnetic fields parallel to the $c$-axis are suggested by observation of a topological Hall effect. Our findings highlight CeAlGe as an exceptional system for exploiting the interplay between the nontrivial topologies of the magnetization in real space and Weyl nodes in momentum space.

First, from the final Planck data of the cosmic microwave background, we obtain a condition, $1.977 < n < 2.003$. Next, under this constraint, we investigate local-gravity tests for three models. We find that the $R^n$ term can dominate over the dark energy term even at the Earth's curvature scale, contrary to intuition; however, the $R^n$ term does not relax or tighten the constraints on the three models.

description: The principle outcomes of the achievement of these objectives will be the establishment of CESSDA as a legally constructed entity, membership of which will mark organisations as quality assured centres of expertise in the preservation, management and dissemination of research resources. Also, the undertaking will position CESSDA as the first choice for the deposit of data by both national and pan-European bodies, for example Eurostat and DG Research. In line with the recently published NSF (National Science Foundation) report on cyberinfrastructures, the broad vision of the CESSDA RI upgrade can be stated as wishing to develop 'a system of …. data collections that is open, extensible, and evolvable; and to support development of a new generation of tools and services for data discovery, integration, visualization, analysis and preservation…[consisting of]…. a range of data collections and managing organizations, networked together in a flexible technical architecture using standard, open protocols and interfaces, and designed to contribute to the emerging global information commons.'

description: While the number of farmers’ markets has exponentially increased in the United States, many of these markets are at risk of failure without adequate support and technical assistance. Based on 17 interviews with Wisconsin farmers’ market managers, this paper reflects on the differences in infrastructure issues, data collection activities, and stakeholder relationships of markets situated in varying community types (metropolitan, micropolitan, suburban, and rural). Findings suggest that technical assistance should be better tailored to meet the needs of markets based in these distinct community settings. Peer-to-peer learning networks are suggested to better crosspollinate ideas between markets of similar size and geography.

description: We estimate the county-level impacts of direct-to-consumer (DTC) agricultural production on two food and beverage retail subsectors in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas using a first-difference model. We test for the endogeneity of DTC agricultural production by using a drought index and the lagged value of DTC production as instruments. We find that DTC agricultural production impacts the food services and drinking places subsector (which includes restaurants). This effect on food retail sales is positive in metropolitan counties and negative in nonmetropolitan counties. Our results inform planners about the complementarity between local agricultural production and food retail sectors.

description: A detailed analysis of XMM observations of ClJ0046.3+8530 (z=0.624) is presented. The cluster has a moderate temperature (kT=4.1+/-0.3keV) and appears to be relaxed. Emission is detected at >3 sigma significance to a radius of 88% of R200 (the radius enclosing an overdensity of 200 times the critical density at z=0.624) in a surface-brightness profile. A temperature profile (extending to 0.7R200), and hardness-ratio map show no significant departures from the global temperature, within the statistical limits of the data. The cluster's bolometric X-ray luminosity is L=(4.3+/-0.3)*10^44 erg/s, and the total mass derived within R200, assuming isothermality and hydrostatic equilibrium, is M_200=3.0^{+0.6}_{-0.5}*10^14 Msolar. The gas entropy measured at 0.1R200 is compared with a sample of local systems, and found to be consistent with self-similar evolution with redshift. The metallicity, gas density profile slope, and gas mass fraction are all consistent with those found in low-z clusters.

description: The 50th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution encouraged many new written and electronic works. We have now created a database of these works (books, films, websites and conferences) and of reviews of them (www.rev.hu/reviews). The photographic documentation database has taken a further step forward with the project entitled "Processing of Photographic Life's Works". Our plans for this are to process the work of four to six living photographers each year. It will include making a life interview with each photographer, which can be read and heard on the internet service. The photographs selected to present the life's work can be ordered for various uses or even commented upon online. The content service will also be accessible in English. (Under development: www.rev.hu/photographers.) Both the projects will be developed further. The subject-area of the "Review" database will be broadened, with the eventual intention of having it cover historical publications on contemporary Hungarian history (if possible in two languages). This is more a problem of content development. We would also like to adapt the framework system of the "Photographic Life's Works" database to our earlier photo-documentary database (http://server2001.rev.hu/oha/index_e.html).

description: We investigate Peruvian college students’ preferences for fresh apple quality attributes. We conducted a sensory taste test and incentive-compatible experimental auction to elicit preferences for three apple varieties available in the Peruvian market: ‘Delicia’, ‘Royal Gala’, and ‘Fuji’. We found that college students participating in our sensory taste test preferred apples with the ‘Royal Gala’ quality profile over ‘Delicia’ and ‘Fuji’. Revealing the name of the apple variety and its associated country of origin did not affect willingness to pay. In general, panelists were willing to pay a price premium for larger fruit sizes and higher crispness. Our findings underscore the importance of appearance and eating quality apple attributes on overall preference and willingness to pay. This information, although not representative of the general Peruvian population, could serve as an indication of the factors deemed most important to individuals when choosing to consume a fruit product.

description: Heisenberg's uncertainty relation can be written in terms of the step-up and step-down operators in the harmonic oscillator representation. It is noted that the single-variable Heisenberg commutation relation contains the symmetry of the Sp(2) group which is isomorphic to the Lorentz group applicable to one time-like dimension and two space-like dimensions, known as the O(2,1) group. This group has three independent generators. The one-dimensional step-up and step-down operators can be combined into one two-by-two Hermitian matrix which contains three independent operators. If we use a two-variable Heisenberg commutation relation, the two pairs of independent step-up, step-down operators can be combined into a four-by-four block-diagonal Hermitian matrix with six independent parameters. It is then possible to add one off-diagonal two-by-two matrix and its Hermitian conjugate to complete the four-by-four Hermitian matrix. This off-diagonal matrix has four independent generators. There are thus ten independent generators. It is then shown that these ten generators can be linearly combined to the ten generators for the Dirac's two oscillator system leadingto the group isomorphic to the de Sitter group O(3,2), which can the be contracted to the inhomogeneous Lorentz group with four translation generators corresponding to the four-momentum in the Lorentz-covariant world. This Lorentz-covariant four-momentum is known as Einstein's E = mc^2.

description: City leaders are under pressure to increase urban residential density to provide affordable housing and meet sustainability objectives. Yet despite the advantages of urban densification, communities throughout North America persistently oppose new developments and housing projects in their neighborhoods. The impact of residential densification on the quality of life for existing residents is ambiguous. In this study we focus on measuring the impact of one key aspect of urban densification: the perceived quality of public space. We use an experimental design to increase pedestrians and stationary users in a pedestrianized green street for randomly selected periods over 3 weeks. We collected surveys with and without our pedestrian treatment and find that adding users to a residential street decreased the perceived quality of the space overall. The changes in perceptions were small yet significant and illustrate the real tradeoffs that planners must consider when increasing urban density in cities, especially in lower density residential communities. Increasing the number of public users in a residential neighborhood may slightly decrease the perceived quality of the public space. Women’s perceptions differ from those of men, and women are more sensitive to the addition of public users. We illustrate how planners may use public life experiments to anticipate how the public might respond to future changes in the public realm.
Kinetic Friction and Atomistic Instabilities in Boundary-Lubricated Systems

description: The contribution of sliding-induced, atomic-scale instabilities to the kinetic friction force is investigated by molecular dynamics. For this purpose, we derive a relationship between the kinetic friction force $F_{\rm k}$ and the non-equilibrium velocity distribution $P(v)$ of the lubricant particles. $P(v)$ typically shows exponential tails, which cannot be described in terms of an effective temperature. It is investigated which parameters control the existence of instabilities and how they affect $P(v)$ and hence $F_{\rm k}$. The effects of the interfaces' dimensionality, lubricant coverage, and internal degrees of freedom of lubricant particles on $F_{\rm k}$ are studied explicitly. Among other results we find that the kinetic friction between commensurate surfaces is much more susceptible to changes in $(i)$ lubricant coverage, $(ii)$ sliding velocity, and $(iii)$ bond length of lubricant molecules than incommensurate surfaces.

description: The free-free opacity in plasmas is fundamental to our understanding of energy transport in stellar interiors and for inertial confinement fusion research. However, theoretical predictions in the challenging dense plasma regime are conflicting and there is a dearth of accurate experimental data to allow for direct model validation. Here we present time-resolved transmission measurements in solid-density Al heated by an XUV free-electron laser. We use a novel functional optimization approach to extract the temperature-dependent absorption coefficient directly from an oversampled pool of single-shot measurements, and find a pronounced enhancement of the opacity as the plasma is heated to temperatures of order the Fermi energy. Plasma heating and opacity-enhancement is observed on ultrafast time scales, within the duration of the femtosecond XUV pulse. We attribute further rises in the opacity on ps timescales to melt and the formation of warm-dense matter.

description: As North American cities revitalize, policies generally assume high density will attract the childless, overlooking the needs of families with children. Here I examine the case of Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada), where since 1989 policies have explicitly supported parents in central densifying areas. Between 1996 and 2016, the city overall had a slight decline in children under 15. In contrast, the Downtown peninsula experienced a 171% increase for this age group, which is double the percentage increase for total neighborhood residents. In this research I ask how Vancouver parents perceive their central high-density neighborhoods in terms of childrearing. Through interviews and focus groups with parents from 39 families and 5 weeks of environmental and participant observation, I find that many consider amenity-rich, dense, diverse neighborhoods ideal. Some are committed to city living. Others are “won over” by the policy-provided amenities and well-programmed public realm. Limitations include potential biases in the sample and issues of policy transferability to other North American cities. I provide U.S. examples modeled after Vancouver’s policies to support the feasibility of policy translation. Other North American cities can promote dense family-oriented urbanism. Amenities achieved through policies concerning building design, community centers, parks, protected cycling, and pedestrian infrastructure directly contributed to the “won over” parents’ decisions to stay. By focusing on parents, planners can shift the downtown revitalization narrative toward family-oriented densification. Planners must consider the needs of diverse parents to avoid a class- and age-segregated city. Cities today have a fragile opportunity to build dense and diverse in both land use and types of residents. Central areas can be reconceived as ideal places for people of all ages, incomes, and life stages.

description: We consider the discretized model of a driven string with an anharmonic elastic energy, in a two dimensional random potential, as introduced by Rosso and Krauth. Using finite size scaling, we numerically compute the roughness of the string in a uniform applied force at the critical depinning threshold. By considering a string with a net average tilt, we demonstrate that the anharmonic elastic energy crosses the model over to the quenched KPZ universality class, in agreement with recent theoretical predictions.

description: Strongly interacting systems have been conjectured to spontaneously develop current carrying ground states under certain conditions. We conclusively demonstrate the existence of a commensurate staggered interlayer current phase in a bi-layer model by using the recently discovered quantum Monte-Carlo algorithm without the sign problem. A pseudospin SU(2) algebra and the corresponding anisotropic spin-1 Heisenberg model are constructed to show the competition among the staggered interlayer current, rung singlet and charge density wave phases.

This is done by checking, in each case, that the hypotheses for the general theorem in [7] are satisfied.

description: Local elected officials play a leadership role in setting plan directions and can jeopardize implementation if they are not committed to plan goals. In this research, we apply topic modeling, semantic networks, and sentiment analyses to Calgary’s (Canada) plans and candidates’ social media communications in the 2017 Calgary municipal election to assess alignments or divergences between plans’ and candidates’ priorities. Though the mayor, ward representatives, incumbents, and challengers prioritized different topics, we find overall support for transit infrastructure, development, and improving the downtown and the municipal tax base. However, candidates showed little interest in environmental issues, growth management, and regional cooperation, which are important plan goals that may not be addressed. The methodology has limitations: Using social media posts underrepresents the views of some candidates; text data processing may miss metaphorical phrases; elected officials’ priorities during campaigns may not determine their actual votes once in office; and this cross-sectional analysis does not capture the ever-changing relations between officials’ priorities, plan-making, and implementation. Candidates focused mainly on transit and taxes to the detriment of regional and environmental issues (energy, watershed, and growth management), revealing the incoming municipal administration’s priorities and its potential blind spots. Planners may use this methodology to analyze large text data from both online and offline sources, understand local implementation barriers, explain shifts in municipal policy directions, and engage elected officials to build support for important plan components.
