description: Exploring high-efficiency and low-cost electrocatalysts is valuable for water-splitting technologies. Recently, Si-group compounds have attracted increasing attention in electrocatalysis, considering the abundant Si-group elements on Earth. However, Si-group compounds for HER electrocatalysis have not been systematically studied. In this study, we unveil the activity trends of non-noble metal catalyst A15-type V3M (i.e., V3Si, V3Ge, and V3Sn) superconductors and show that V3Si is the most efficient HER catalyst because of the high electronic conductivity and suitable d-band center. Among them, the V3Si only requires 33.4 mV to reach 10 mA cm-2, and only 57.6 mV and 114.6 mV are required to attain a high current density of 100 mA cm-2 and 500 mA cm-2, respectively. These low overpotentials are close to the 34.3 mV at 10 mA cm-2 of state-of-art Pt/C (20 %) but superior to 168.5 mV of Pt/C (20 %) at 100 mA cm-2. Furthermore, the V3Si illustrates exceptional durability with no obvious decay in the 120 h at the different current densities (i.e., 10 - 250 mA cm-2). The excellent HER activity of V3Si alloy can be ascribed to the synergies of superior electronic conductivity and suitable d-band center. Moreover, DFT calculations reveal that the absolute hydrogen adsorption Gibbs free energy is decreased after introducing the V to Si. Beyond offering a stable and high-performance electrocatalyst in an acidic medium, this work inspires the rational design of desirable silicide electrocatalysts.

description: Oxygen transport membranes(OTMs)have provided great opportunities in the last decades but are suffering from the trade-off effect between stability and oxygen permeability. Here, we report a group of new planar dual-phase mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) OTMs consisting of CO$_2$$_{0.85}$Nd$_{0.1}$Cu$_{0.05}$O$_2$ (CNCO) and Nd$_x$Sr$_{1-x}$Fe$_{1-y}$Cu$_y$O$_3$(NSFCO; $x = 0.4, 0.6$; $y = 0.05, 0.1$) phases, showing excellent oxygen permeability while comparable CO$_2$-resistant stability. The substitution of Cu as a bifunctional additive decreases the sintering temperature and enhances bulk diffusion and oxygen permeability with the co-doping of Nd.The oxygen permeation fluxes reached 2.62 and 1.52 mL min$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ at 1000$^\circ$C through the optimal 60wt%Ce0.85Nd0.1Cu0.05O2-40wt%Nd0.4Sr0.6Fe0.9Cu0.1O3 (CNCO-NSFCO41) composition with He and CO$_2$ sweeping, respectively, higher than all reported dense dual-phase OTMs. Such excellent CO$_2$-tolerant permeability meets the needs of potential industrial applications. Analysis with Zhu's oxygen permeation model shows lower bulk diffusion resistance of CNCO-NSFCO41 than that of reported 60wt%Ce0.85Pr0.1Cu0.05O2-40wt%Pr0.4Sr0.6Fe0.9Cu0.1O3(CPCO-PSFCO41)and more limitation by the interfacial exchange at high temperature. All the prepared OTMs also show good long-term stability over 100 hours in both atmospheres. Our results confirm the excellent oxygen permeability and stability under a high-concentration CO2 atmosphere, providing a material candidate for CO2 capture in oxyfuel combustion.

description: Paradoxes are interesting puzzles in philosophy and mathematics, and they could be even more fascinating, when turned into proofs and theorems. For example, Liar's paradox can be translated into a propositional tautology, and Barber's paradox turns into a first-order tautology. Russell's paradox, which collapsed Frege's foundational framework, is now a classical theorem in set theory, implying that no set of all sets can exist. Paradoxes can be used in proofs of some other theorems; Liar's paradox has been used in the classical proof of Tarski's theorem on the undefinability of truth in sufficiently rich languages. This paradox (and also Richard's paradox) appears implicitly in Gödel's proof of his celebrated first incompleteness theorem. In this paper, we study Yablo's paradox from the viewpoint of first and second order logics. We prove that a formalization of Yablo's paradox (which is second-order in nature) is non-first-order-izable in the sense of George Boolos (1984).

description: Charge-spin interconversion processes underpin the generation of spin-orbit torques in magnetic/nonmagnetic bilayers. However, efficient sources of spin currents such as 5d metals are also efficient spin sinks, resulting in a large increase of magnetic damping. Here we show that a partially-oxidized 3d metal can generate a strong orbital torque without a significant increase in damping. Measurements of the torque efficiency ξ and Gilbert damping α in CoFe/CuOx and CoFe/Pt indicate that ξ is comparable. The increase in damping relative to a single CoFe layer is Δα<0.002 in CoFe/CuOx and Δα ~ 0.005 - 0.02 in CoFe/Pt, depending on CoFe thickness. We ascribe the nonreciprocal relationship between Δα and ξ in CoFe/CuOx to the small orbital-to-spin current ratio generated by magnetic resonance in CoFe and the lack of an efficient spin sink in CuOx. Our findings provide new perspectives on the efficient excitation of magnetization dynamics via the orbital torque.

description: The sequent calculus is a proof system which was designed as a more symmetric alternative to natural deduction. The λμμ-calculus is a term assignment system for the sequent calculus and a great foundation for compiler intermediate languages due to its first-class representation of evaluation contexts. Unfortunately, only experts of the sequent calculus can appreciate its beauty. To remedy this, we present the first introduction to the λμμ-calculus which is not directed at type theorists or logicians but at compiler hackers and programming-language enthusiasts. We do this by writing a compiler from a small but interesting surface language to the λμμ-calculus as a compiler intermediate language.

description: NoiseChisel is a program to detect very low signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) features with minimal assumptions on their morphology. It was introduced in 2015 and released within a collection of data analysis programs and libraries known as GNU Astronomy Utilities (Gnuastro). The 10th stable version of Gnuastro was released in August 2019 and NoiseChisel has significantly improved: detecting even fainter signal, enabling better user control over its inner workings, and many bug fixes. The most important change until version 0.10 is that NoiseChisel's segmentation features have been moved into a new program called Segment. Another major change is the final growth strategy of its true detections, for example NoiseChisel is able to detect the outer wings of M51 down to S/N of 0.25, or 25.97 mag/arcsec2 on a single-exposure SDSS image (r-band). Segment is also able to detect the localized HII regions as "clumps" much more successfully. For a detailed list of improvements after version 0.10, see the most recent manual. Finally, to orchestrate a controlled analysis, the concept of reproducibility is discussed: this paper itself is exactly reproducible (commit 751467d).

description: Empirical researchers are usually interested in investigating the impacts of baseline covariates have when uncovering sample heterogeneity and separating samples into more homogeneous groups. However, a considerable number of studies in the structural equation modeling (SEM) framework usually start with vague hypotheses in terms of heterogeneity and possible reasons. It suggests that (1) the determination and specification of a proper model with covariates is not straightforward, and (2) the exploration process may be computational intensive given that a model in the SEM framework is usually complicated and the pool of candidate covariates is usually huge in the psychological and educational domain where the SEM framework is widely employed. Following Bakk and Kuha (2017), this article presents a two-step growth mixture model (GMM) that examines the relationship between latent classes of nonlinear trajectories and baseline characteristics. Our simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed model is capable of clustering the nonlinear change patterns, and estimating the parameters of interest unbiasedly, precisely, as well as exhibiting appropriate confidence interval coverage. Considering the pool of candidate covariates is usually huge and highly correlated, this study also proposes implementing exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to reduce the dimension of covariate space. We illustrate how to use the hybrid method, the two-step GMM and EFA, to efficiently explore the heterogeneity of nonlinear trajectories of longitudinal mathematics achievement data.

description: The linear spline growth model (LSGM), which approximates complex patterns using at least two linear segments, is a popular tool for examining nonlinear change patterns. Among such models, the linear-linear piecewise change pattern is the most straightforward one. An earlier study has proved that other than the intercept and slopes, the knot (or change-point), at which two linear segments join together, can be estimated as a growth factor in a reparameterized longitudinal model in the latent growth curve modeling framework. However, the reparameterized coefficients were no longer directly related to the underlying developmental process and therefore lacked meaningful, substantive interpretation, although they were simple functions of the original parameters. This study proposes transformation matrices between parameters in the original and reparameterized models so that the interpretable coefficients directly related to the underlying change pattern can be derived from reparameterized ones. Additionally, the study extends the existing linear-linear piecewise model to allow for individual measurement occasions, and investigates predictors for the individual-differences in change patterns. We present the proposed methods with simulation studies and a real-world data analysis. Our simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed method can generally provide an unbiased and consistent estimation of model parameters of interest and confidence intervals with satisfactory coverage probabilities. An empirical example using longitudinal mathematics achievement scores shows that the model can estimate the growth factor coefficients and path coefficients directly related to the underlying developmental process, thereby providing meaningful interpretation. For easier implementation, we also provide the corresponding code for the proposed models.

description: The $n^{\text{th}}$ small Schröder number is $s(n) = \sum_{k \geq 0} s(n,k)$, where $s(n,k)$ denotes the number of plane rooted trees with $n$ leaves and $k$ internal nodes that each has at least two children. In this manuscript, we focus on the weighted small Schröder numbers $s_d(n) = \sum_{k \geq 0} s(n,k) d^k$, where $d$ is an arbitrary fixed real number. We provide recursive and asymptotic formulas for $s_d(n)$, as well as some identities and combinatorial interpretations for these numbers. We also establish connections between $s_d(n)$ and several families of Dyck paths.

description: Health concerns associated with the advent of nanotechnologies have risen sharply when it was found that particles of nanoscopic dimensions reach the cell lumina. Plasma and organelle lipid membranes, which are exposed to both the incoming and the engulfed nanoparticles, are the primary targets of possible disruptions. However, reported adhesion, invagination and embedment of nanoparticles (NPs) do not compromise the membrane integrity, precluding direct bilayer damage as a mechanism for toxicity. Here it is shown that a lipid membrane can be torn by small enough nanoparticles, thus unveiling mechanisms for how lipid membrane can be compromised by tearing from nanoparticles. Surprisingly, visualization by cryo transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) of liposomes exposed to nanoparticles revealed also that liposomal laceration is prevented by particle abundance. Membrane destruction results thus from a subtle particle-membrane interplay that is here elucidated. This brings into a firmer molecular basis the theorized mechanisms of nanoparticle effects on lipid bilayers and paves the way for a better assessment of nanoparticle toxicity.

description: Kipali roundabout (now called Kipali interchange), located near Kuching downtown, was severely congested during peak hours. Because of this, the Sarawak State Government decided to build shallow underpasses at this intersection. The research included in this thesis is one of the first documented and quantified studies of roundabouts with shallow underpasses in the City of Kuching, Sarawak. This research will certainly contribute to the deeper understanding of the traffic characteristics and impacts of a roundabout with shallow underpasses on its neighbouring junctions. With proper understanding, it is possible to apply this potentially cost-efficient solution to other intersections in the future.

description: New generation Indium based lead-free Cs2InAgCl6 is a promising halide material in photovoltaic applications due to its good air stability and non-toxic behavior. But its wide band gap (>3 eV) is not suitable for solar spectrum and hence reducing the photoelectronic efficiency for device applications. Here we report a significant band gap reduction from 3.3 eV to 0.6 eV by substitutional doping and its effect on opto-electronic and opto-thermoelectric properties from first-principles study. The results predict that Sn/Pb and Ga & Cu co-doping enhance the density of states significantly near the valence band maximum (VBM) and thus reduce the band gap by shifting the VBM upward while the alkali-metals (K/Rb) slightly increase the band gap. A strong absorption peak near Shockley-Queisser limit is observed in co-doped case while in Sn/Pb-doped case, we notice a peak in the middle of the visible region of solar spectrum. The nature of band gap is indirect with Cu-Ga/Pb/Sn doping with a significant reduction in the band gap. We observe a significant increase in the power factor (PF) (2.03 mW/mK2) for n-type carrier in Pb-dpoing, which is ~3.5 times higher than the pristine case (0.6 mW/mK2) at 500 K.

description: Systems as diverse as mechanical structures assembled from elastic components, and photonic metamaterials enjoy a common geometrical feature: a sublattice symmetry. This property realizes a chiral symmetry first introduced to characterize a number of electronic insulators in the vicinity of their energy gaps. In this article, we introduce a generic framework to elucidate and design zero-energy topological boundary modes in all systems enjoying a chiral symmetry, whether crystalline or amorphous. We first show how to distinguish chiral insulators from one another by a real-space measure: their chiral polarization. In crystals, we use it to redefine the very concept of bulk-boundary correspondence, and resolve long-standing ambiguities in its application to chiral insulators. In amorphous metamaterials, we use it to lay out generic geometrical rules to locate topologically distinct phases, and explain how to engineer localized zero-mode wave guides even more robust than in periodic structures.

description: In their seminal paper from 2004, Kuhn, Moscibroda, and Wattenhofer (KMW) proved a hardness result for several fundamental graph problems in the LOCAL model: For any (randomized) algorithm, there are input graphs with $n$ nodes and maximum degree $Δ$ on which $Ω(\min\{\sqrt{\log n/\log \log n},\log Δ/\log \log Δ\})$ (expected) communication rounds are required to obtain polylogarithmic approximations to a minimum vertex cover, minimum dominating set, or maximum matching. Via reduction, this hardness extends to symmetry breaking tasks like finding maximal independent sets or maximal matchings. Today, more than $15$ years later, there is still no proof of this result that is easy on the reader. Setting out to change this, in this work, we provide a fully self-contained and $\mathit{simple}$ proof of the KMW lower bound. The key argument is algorithmic, and it relies on an invariant that can be readily verified from the generation rules of the lower bound graphs.

description: The Talbot effect has been known in optics since XIX century and found various technological applications. In this paper, we demonstrate with the help of micromagnetic simulations this self-imaging phenomenon for spin waves propagating in a thin ferromagnetic film magnetized out-of-plane. We show that the main features of the obtained Talbot carpets for spin waves can be described, to a large extent, by the approximate analytical formulas yielded by the general analysis of the wave phenomena. Our results indicate a route to a feasible experimental realisation of the Talbot effect at low and high frequencies and offer interesting effects and possible applications in magnonics.

description: In this paper a two-sided, parallel Kogbetliantz-type algorithm for the hyperbolic singular value decomposition (HSVD) of real and complex square matrices is developed, with a single assumption that the input matrix, of order $n$, admits such a decomposition into the product of a unitary, a non-negative diagonal, and a $J$-unitary matrix, where $J$ is a given diagonal matrix of positive and negative signs. When $J=\pm I$, the proposed algorithm computes the ordinary SVD. The paper's most important contribution -- a derivation of formulas for the HSVD of $2\times 2$ matrices -- is presented first, followed by the details of their implementation in floating-point arithmetic. Next, the effects of the hyperbolic transformations on the columns of the iteration matrix are discussed. These effects then guide a redesign of the dynamic pivot ordering, being already a well-established pivot strategy for the ordinary Kogbetliantz algorithm, for the general, $n\times n$ HSVD. A heuristic but sound convergence criterion is then proposed, which contributes to high accuracy demonstrated in the numerical testing results. Such a $J$-Kogbetliantz algorithm as presented here is intrinsically slow, but is nevertheless usable for matrices of small orders.

description: In vielen Kommunen konzentrieren sich umweltbedingte Gesundheitsrisiken in sozial benachteiligten Quartieren. In einem vom Umweltbundesamt (UBA) geförderten Forschungsprojekt des Deutschen Instituts für Urbanistik (Difu) wurde daher in drei Pilotkommunen - Kassel, Marburg, München - erprobt, wie der vergleichsweise neue Ansatz Umweltgerechtigkeit in der kommunalen Praxis umgesetzt werden kann. Zwei Jahre hat das Difu die drei Kommunen wissenschaftlich begleitet. Die Beteiligten aus den Pilotkommunen bestätigten im Grundsatz die vom Difu im Vorläuferprojekt "Umweltgerechtigkeit im städtischen Raum" entwickelten Handlungsempfehlungen. Die Erkenntnisse aus den Pilotkommunen sind in die Online-Toolbox "Umweltgerechtigkeit" (www.toolbox-umweltgerechtigkeit.de) eingeflossen, die im Rahmen des Projekts erstellt wurde. Sie bietet vor allem Akteuren aus Kommunalverwaltung und -politik praxisnahe Informationen und Tipps rund um das Thema Umweltgerechtigkeit.

description: In many municipalities, environmental health risks are concentrated in socially deprived neighbourhoods. In a research project of the German Institute of Urban Affairs (Difu), three pilot municipalities - Kassel, Marburg, Munich - tested how the comparatively new approach of environmental justice can be implemented in municipal practice - funded by the German Environment Agency. For two years, Difu has scientifically accompanied the three communities. The participants from the pilot municipalities confirmed in principle the recommendations for action developed by Difu in the previous project "Environmental justice in urban areas". The findings from the pilot municipalities have been incorporated into the online toolbox "Environmental Justice" (www.toolbox-umweltgerechtigkeit.de), which was created as part of the project. It provides practical information and tips on the subject of environmental justice, especially those in local government and politics.

description: Im Jugendalter sinkt die Zufriedenheit mit dem Körper bei beiden Geschlechtern, insbesondere aber bei Mädchen. Die Auseinandersetzung mit Geschlechterrollen stellt eine wichtige Entwicklungsaufgabe im Zuge der Identitätsentwicklung dar. Traditionelle Geschlechterrollen betonen mit Bezug zum Körper Attraktivität beim weiblichen, Stärke und Überlegenheit beim männlichen Geschlecht. Der Beitrag untersucht Zusammenhänge zwischen einer traditionellen Geschlechterrollenorientierung und der Körperzufriedenheit bei Jugendlichen im Rahmen der „Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC)“-Studie 2017/18 anhand logistischer Regressionsmodelle (n = 1.912 Mädchen, n = 1.689 Jungen). Die Ergebnisse zeigen im Mittel eine hohe Zufriedenheit mit dem Äußeren, die bei Mädchen geringer ausfiel als bei Jungen. Insgesamt wurden wenig traditionelle Rollenvorstellungen vertreten, wobei Jungen diesen eher zustimmten. Bei beiden Geschlechtern ging eine traditionelle Rollenorientierung mit geringerer Körperzufriedenheit einher, wobei der Zusammenhang bei Jungen mit dem Alter nachließ. Als mögliche Erklärungen für die Ergebnisse werden die Inhalte stereotyper Rollenbilder diskutiert. Eine alternative Erklärung geht von einer größeren Toleranz und sozialen Unterstützung bei einer egalitären (auf Gleichheit gerichteten) Rollenorientierung aus, die die Selbstakzeptanz fördern könnte. Die Befunde weisen darauf hin, dass ein Hinterfragen traditioneller Rollenvorstellungen im Jugendalter bei beiden Geschlechtern der Prävention von Körperbildproblemen dienen kann.

description: Graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved impressive performance in graph domain adaptation. However, extensive source graphs could be unavailable in real-world scenarios due to privacy and storage concerns. To this end, we investigate an underexplored yet practical problem of source-free graph domain adaptation, which transfers knowledge from source models instead of source graphs to a target domain. To solve this problem, we introduce a novel GNN-based approach called Rank and Align (RNA), which ranks graph similarities with spectral seriation for robust semantics learning, and aligns inharmonic graphs with harmonic graphs which close to the source domain for subgraph extraction. In particular, to overcome label scarcity, we employ the spectral seriation algorithm to infer the robust pairwise rankings, which can guide semantic learning using a similarity learning objective. To depict distribution shifts, we utilize spectral clustering and the silhouette coefficient to detect harmonic graphs, which the source model can easily classify. To reduce potential domain discrepancy, we extract domain-invariant subgraphs from inharmonic graphs by an adversarial edge sampling process, which guides the invariant learning of GNNs. Extensive experiments on several benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed RNA.

description: This Article focuses on data transfer from the European Union to the United States, and compares the new EU-US legal framework (Privacy Shield) with the former one (Safe Harbour), which was invalidated by the CJEU in the case of Schrems (judgement of 6 October 2015, case C-362/14). It combines legal analysis with a more political perspective taking into account the wider context in which these decisions were taken. This allows us to see whether the CJEU is able to ensure compliance with EU law, and EU fundamental rights in particular, in a sensitive area of external relations. It also brings some insights to bear on normative change, or the lack thereof, in fields where external relations and EU politics are intertwined. The conceptual model of the feedback loop is used to analyse the evolution from the Safe Harbour to the Privacy Shield regime. The action (adoption of Safe Harbour in 2000) has provoked an effect (the Schrems ruling adopted by the Court in response to the demands of data protection activists), which has finally led to feedback (adoption of Privacy Field in 2016). A legal analysis of this feedback effect shows that Privacy Shield only partially complies with the Schrems ruling. This partial compliance can be explained both by normative constraints and actors' preferences.

description: We establish an information complexity lower bound of randomized algorithms for simulating underdamped Langevin dynamics. More specifically, we prove that the worst $L^2$ strong error is of order $Ω(\sqrt{d}\, N^{-3/2})$, for solving a family of $d$-dimensional underdamped Langevin dynamics, by any randomized algorithm with only $N$ queries to $\nabla U$, the driving Brownian motion and its weighted integration, respectively. The lower bound we establish matches the upper bound for the randomized midpoint method recently proposed by Shen and Lee [NIPS 2019], in terms of both parameters $N$ and $d$.

description: European citizenship, although derived from the nationalities of the Member States, came to play a significant independent role in reforming European constitutionalism in unanticipated ways by undermining some of the key assumptions underlying the notions of citizenship, equality and democratic accountability. Instead of lingering merely as a super-structure atop Member State nationalities, it instead reshuffles the constitutional basics and not all Europeans emerge as winners as a result. This brief Article provides an introductory background for the Special Section on EU citizenship and rights of European Papers, Vol. 3, 2018, No. 3 and outlines some of the core tensions which EU citizenship brings to light.
