description: Iris centre localization in low-resolution visible images is a challenging problem in computer vision community due to noise, shadows, occlusions, pose variations, eye blinks, etc. This paper proposes an efficient method for determining iris centre in low-resolution images in the visible spectrum. Even low-cost consumer-grade webcams can be used for gaze tracking without any additional hardware. A two-stage algorithm is proposed for iris centre localization. The proposed method uses geometrical characteristics of the eye. In the first stage, a fast convolution based approach is used for obtaining the coarse location of iris centre (IC). The IC location is further refined in the second stage using boundary tracing and ellipse fitting. The algorithm has been evaluated in public databases like BioID, Gi4E and is found to outperform the state of the art methods.

description: We present the full one-loop SUSY-QCD corrections to stop-antistop annihilation into gluons and light quarks within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model including Sommerfeld enhancement effects from the exchange of multiple gluons between the incoming particles. These corrections are important as stop (co)annihilation becomes the dominant contribution to the relic density for scenarios with a small mass difference between the neutralino and the stop which are less constrained by current LHC searches and consistent with the observation of a 125 GeV SM-like Higgs boson. We discuss important technical details of our one-loop, real emission, and resummation calculations where we pay particular attention to the cancellation of infrared divergences and the associated application of the dipole formalism for massive initial scalars. The corrections have been implemented in the dark matter precision tool DM@NLO which allows us to study numerically the impact of these corrections on the annihilation cross section. We find that for the chosen reference scenario the dominant correction comes from the Sommerfeld effect and that the pure NLO correction is below 3%. The inclusion of these radiative corrections is still large enough to decrease the relic density by more than 10% and shift the cosmologically preferred parameter region by a few GeV relative to the standard MicrOMEGAs result. Therefore, the inclusion of these corrections is mandatory if the experimental errors are taken as upper and lower bounds of the theory value.

description: A model for laser light absorption in electron-positron plasmas self-consistently created via QED cascades is described. The laser energy is mainly absorbed due to hard photon emission via nonlinear Compton scattering. The degree of absorption depends on the laser intensity and the pulse duration. The QED cascades are studied with multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations complemented by a QED module and a macro-particle merging algorithm that allows to handle the exponential growth of the number of particles. Results range from moderate-intensity regimes ($\sim$ 10 PW) where the laser absorption is negligible, to extreme intensities (> 100 PW) where the degree of absorption reaches 80%. Our study demonstrates good agreement between the analytical model and simulations. The expected properties of the hard photon emission and the generated pair-plasma are investigated, and the experimental signatures for near-future laser facilities are discussed.

description: Synchronization is a major concept in nonlinear physics. In a large number of systems, it is observed at long times for a sinusoidal excitation. In this paper, we design a transiently non-sinusoidal driving to reach the synchronization regime more quickly. We exemplify an inverse engineering method to solve this issue on the classical Van der Pol oscillator. This approach cannot be directly transposed to the quantum case as the system is no longer point-like in phase space. We explain how to adapt our method by an iterative procedure to account for the finite-size quantum distribution in phase space. We show that the resulting driving yields a density matrix close to the synchronized one according to the trace distance. Our method provides an example of fast control of a nonlinear quantum system, and raises the question of the quantum speed limit concept in the presence of nonlinearities.

description: We report on the temperature and layer thickness variation of spin-orbit torques in perpendicularly magnetized W/CoFeB bilayers. Harmonic Hall voltage measurements reveal dissimilar temperature evolutions of longitudinal and transverse effective magnetic field components. The transverse effective field changes sign at 250 K for a 2 nm thick W buffer layer, indicating a much stronger contribution from interface spin-orbit interactions compared to, for example, Ta. Transmission electron microscopy measurements reveal that considerable interface mixing between W and CoFeB is primarily responsible for this effect.

description: We analyze the one dimensional scattering produced by all variations of the Pöschl-Teller potential, i.e., potential well, low and high barriers. We show that the Pöschl-Teller well and low barrier potentials have no resonance poles, but an infinite number of simple poles along the imaginary axis corresponding to bound and antibound states. A quite different situation arises on the Pöschl-Teller high barrier potential, which shows an infinite number of resonance poles and no other singularities. We have obtained the explicit form of their associated Gamow states. We have also constructed ladder operators connecting wave functions for bound and antibound states as well as for resonance states. Finally, using wave functions of Gamow and antibound states in the factorization method, we construct some examples of supersymmetric partners of the Pöschl-Teller Hamiltonian.

description: For rovibronic states corresponding to the $B$ and $B'\ ^1Σ_\text{u}^+$ electronic states of the hydrogen molecule, the pre-Born--Oppenheimer (four-particle) non-relativistic energy is converged to a 1-3 parts-per-billion relative precision. The four-particle non-relativistic energy is appended with leading-order relativistic, leading- and estimated higher-order quantum-electrodynamics corrections. The resulting term values referenced to the rovibronic ground state are obtained in an excellent agreement with the experimental results. Further results are reported and discussed for other rovibronic states assignable to the $C\ ^1Π_\text{u}$ and the $EF,GK,$ and $HH\ ^1Σ_\text{g}^+$ electronic states.

description: We use the Lindblad equation method to investigate the onset of a mobility edge and the topological phase transition in the disordered SSH chain connected to two external baths in the large bias limit. From the scaling properties of the nonequilibrium stationary current flowing across the system, we recover the localization/delocalization in the disordered chain. To probe the topological phase transition in the presence of disorder, we use the even-odd differential occupancy as a mean to discriminate topologically trivial from topologically nontrival phases in the out-of-equilibirum system. Eventually, we argue how to generalize our method to other systems undergoing a topological phase transition in the presence of disorder.

Linking the dielectric Debye process in 2-ethyl-1-hexanol to its density fluctuations

description: We provide the first evidence that the puzzling dielectric Debye process observed in mono-alcohols is coupled to density fluctuations. The results open up for an explanation of the Debye process within the framework of conventional liquid-state theory. The spectral shape of dynamical bulk modulus of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol is nearly identical to that of the shear modulus, and thus the supramolecular structures believed to be responsible for the slow dielectric Debye process are manifested in the bulk modulus in the same way as in the shear modulus.

description: Each molecular features MS2 spectra (green) paired with spectra from spectral libraries used to verify correct identification. A single representative library match from each subnetwork was used if multiple library matches were present within the molecular subnetwork. Peak alignment between spectral library match and our experimental spectra demonstrates structural similarity. The x-axis is the mass-to-charge ratio of each peak which was fragmented from the original MS1 feature.

description: Giant exoplanets orbiting very close to their parent star (hot Jupiters) are subject to tidal forces expected to synchronize their rotational and orbital periods on short timescales (tidal locking). However, spin rotation has never been measured directly for hot Jupiters. Furthermore, their atmospheres can show equatorial super-rotation via strong eastward jet streams, and/or high-altitude winds flowing from the day- to the night-side hemisphere. Planet rotation and atmospheric circulation broaden and distort the planet spectral lines to an extent that is detectable with measurements at high spectral resolution. We observed a transit of the hot Jupiter HD 189733 b around 2.3 μm and at a spectral resolution of R~10$^5$ with CRIRES at the ESO Very Large Telescope. After correcting for the stellar absorption lines and their distortion during transit (the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect), we detect the absorption of carbon monoxide and water vapor in the planet transmission spectrum by cross-correlating with model spectra. The signal is maximized (7.6σ) for a planet rotational velocity of $(3.4^{+1.3}_{-2.1})$ km/s, corresponding to a rotational period of $(1.7^{+2.9}_{-0.4})$ days. This is consistent with the planet orbital period of 2.2 days and therefore with tidal locking. We find that the rotation of HD 189733 b is longer than 1 day (3σ). The data only marginally (1.5σ) prefer models with rotation versus models without rotation. We measure a small day- to night-side wind speed of $(-1.7^{+1.1}_{-1.2})$ km/s. Compared to the recent detection of sodium blue-shifted by (8$\pm$2) km/s, this likely implies a strong vertical wind shear between the pressures probed by near-infrared and optical transmission spectroscopy.

Ontology Development is Consensus Creation, Not (Merely) Representation

Year: 2022

description: Ontology development methodologies emphasise knowledge gathering from domain experts and documentary resources, and knowledge representation using an ontology language such as OWL or FOL. However, working ontologists are often surprised by how challenging and slow it can be to develop ontologies. Here, with a particular emphasis on the sorts of ontologies that are content-heavy and intended to be shared across a community of users (reference ontologies), we propose that a significant and heretofore under-emphasised contributor of challenges during ontology development is the need to create, or bring about, consensus in the face of disagreement. For this reason reference ontology development cannot be automated, at least within the limitations of existing AI approaches. Further, for the same reason ontologists are required to have specific social-negotiating skills which are currently lacking in most technical curricula.

description: Compact binary coalescences are a promising source of gravitational waves for second-generation interferometric gravitational-wave detectors such as advanced LIGO and advanced Virgo. These are among the most promising sources for joint detection of electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational-wave (GW) emission. To maximize the science performed with these objects, it is essential to undertake a followup observing strategy that maximizes the likelihood of detecting the EM counterpart. We present a follow-up strategy that maximizes the counterpart detection probability, given a fixed investment of telescope time. We show how the prior assumption on the luminosity function of the electro-magnetic counterpart impacts the optimized followup strategy. Our results suggest that if the goal is to detect an EM counterpart from among a succession of GW triggers, the optimal strategy is to perform long integrations in the highest likelihood regions, with a time investment that is proportional to the $2/3$ power of the surface density of the GW location probability on the sky. In the future, this analysis framework will benefit significantly from the 3-dimensional localization probability.

description: Light beams with azimuthal phase dependence [$exp(i \ellϕ)$] carry orbital angular momentum (OAM) which differs fundamentally from spin angular momentum (SAM) associated with polarization. Striking difference between the two momenta is manifested in the allowable values: where SAM is limited to $\hbar k_0$ per photon, the OAM has unbounded value of $\ell\hbar$ per photon ($\ell$ is integer), thus dramatically exceeding the value of SAM \cite{Ref1,Ref2, Ref3}. OAM has thus been utilized in optical trapping \cite{Ref4}, imaging\cite{Ref2}, and material processing \cite{Ref5}. Furthermore, the unbounded degrees-of-freedom in OAM states have been deployed in data communications \cite{Ref6}. Here, we report an \textit{exceptional} behavior for a class of light beams---known as Frozen Waves (FWs)---whose intensity and azimuthal phase profiles can be controlled along the propagation direction, at will. Accordingly, we generate rotating light patterns that can change their sense of rotation and order of phase twist with propagation. Manipulating OAM along the beam axis can open new directions in optical science and its applications.

description: Ge$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$ (Ge:Fe) shows ferromagnetic behavior up to a relatively high temperature of 210 K, and hence is a promising material for spintronic applications compatible with Si technology. We have studied its electronic structure by soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SX-ARPES) measurements in order to elucidate the mechanism of the ferromagnetism. We observed finite Fe 3$d$ components in the states at the Fermi level ($E_{F}$) in a wide region in momentum space and $E_{F}$ was located above the valence-band maximum (VBM). First-principles supercell calculation also suggested that the $E_{F}$ is located above the VBM, within the narrow spin-down $d$($e$) band and within the spin-up impurity band of the deep acceptor-level origin derived from the strong $p$-$d$($t_{2}$) hybridization. We conclude that the narrow $d$($e$) band is responsible for the ferromagnetic coupling between Fe atoms while the acceptor-level-originated band is responsible for the transport properties of Ge:Fe.

description: We investigate the twist-angle and gate dependence of the proximity-induced exchange coupling in the monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) MoSe$_2$ and WSe$_2$ due to the vdW coupling to the ferromagnetic semiconductor CrI$_3$, from first-principles calculations. A model Hamiltonian, that captures the relevant band edges at the $K/K^{\prime}$ valleys of the proximitized TMDCs, is employed to quantify the proximity-induced exchange. Upon twisting from 0° to 30°, we find a transition of the TMDC valence band (VB) edge exchange splitting from about $-2$ to $2$ meV, while the conduction band (CB) edge exchange splitting remains nearly unchanged at around $-3$ meV. For the VB of WSe$_2$ (MoSe$_2$) on CrI$_3$, the exchange coupling changes sign at around 8° (16°). We find that even at the angles with almost zero spin splittings of the VB, the real-space spin polarization profile of holes at the band edge is highly non-uniform, with alternating spin up and spin down orbitals. Furthermore, a giant tunability of the proximity-induced exchange coupling is provided by a transverse electric field of a few V/nm. We complement our \textit{ab initio} results by calculating the excitonic valley splitting to provide experimentally verifiable optical signatures of the proximity exchange. Specifically, we predict that the valley splitting increases almost linearly as a function of the twist angle. Furthermore, the proximity exchange is highly tunable by gating, allowing to tailor the valley splitting in the range of 0 to 12 meV in WSe$_2$/CrI$_3$, which is equivalent to external magnetic fields of up to about 60 Tesla. Our results highlight the important impact of the twist angle and gating when employing magnetic vdW heterostructures in experimental geometries.

description: Pulsed pumped four-wave mixing process via $χ^{(3)}$ non-linearity in optical fiber can generate optical pulses with continuous variable quantum correlation. However, pair-wise correlation of the generated pulses in this system has not been studied. Here we report a time-domain measurement of an intensity difference squeezed state generated in fiber. With a fast response differential detection system, we show the generated twin-beam pulses are pair-wisely correlated, and -3.8 dB (-8.1 dB after detection losses correction) intensity difference squeezing degree is measured in time-domain. Our result is benefit for generating multi-mode entangled state by time-division multiplexing in fiber system.

description: We present our optical photometric observations of three TeV blazars, PKS 1510-089, PG 1553+113 and Mrk 501 taken using two telescopes in India, one in Bulgaria, one in Greece and one in Serbia during 2012 - 2014. These observations covered a total of 95 nights with a total of 202 B filter frames, 247 images in V band, 817 in R band while 229 images were taken in the I filter. This work is focused on multi-band flux and colour variability studies of these blazars on diverse timescales which are useful in understanding the emission mechanisms. We studied the variability characteristics of above three blazars and found all to be active over our entire observational campaigns. We also searched for any correlation between the brightness of the sources and their colour indices. During the times of variability, no significant evidence for the sources to display spectral changes correlated with magnitude was found on timescales of a few months. We briefly discuss the possible physical mechanisms most likely responsible for the observed flux variability.

description: Herbivores large and small need to mechanically process plant tissue. Their ability to do so is determined by two forces: the maximum force they can generate, and the minimum force required to fracture the plant tissue. The ratio of these forces determines the required relative mechanical effort; how this ratio varies with animal size is challenging to predict. We measured the forces required to cut thin polymer sheets with mandibles from leaf-cutter ant workers which vary by more than one order of magnitude in body mass. Cutting forces were independent of mandible size, but differed by a factor of two between pristine and worn mandibles. Mandibular wear is thus likely a more important determinant of cutting force than mandible size. We rationalize this finding with a biomechanical analysis which suggests that pristine mandibles are ideally ‘sharp’—cutting forces are close to a theoretical minimum, which is independent of tool size and shape, and instead solely depends on the geometric and mechanical properties of the cut tissue. The increase of cutting force due to mandibular wear may be particularly problematic for small ants, which generate lower absolute bite forces, and thus require a larger fraction of their maximum bite force to cut the same plant.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Food processing and nutrition assimilation in animals’.

description: The possibility of fundamental theories with very many ground states, each with different physical parameters, changes the way that we approach the major questions of particle physics. Most importantly, it raises the possibility that these different parameters could be realised in different domains in the larger universe. In this review, we survey the motivations for the multiverse and impact of the idea of the multiverse on the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

description: We study the quantum fidelity (groundstate overlap) near quantum phase transitions of the Ising universality class in one dimensional (1D) systems of finite size L. Prominent examples occur in magnetic systems (e.g. spin-Peierls, the anisotropic XY model), and in 1D topological insulators of any topologically nontrivial Altland-Zirnbauer-Kitaev universality class. The rescaled fidelity susceptibility is a function of the only dimensionless parameter LM, where 2M is the gap in the fermionic spectrum. We present analytic expressions for the fidelity susceptibility for periodic and open boundaries conditions with zero, one or two edgestates. The latter are shown to have a crucial impact and alter the susceptibility both quantitatively and qualitatively. We support our analytical solutions with numerical data.

description: Most previous experimental investigations of two-dimensional (2D) granular column collapses have been conducted using three-dimensional (3D) granular materials in narrow horizontal channels (i.e., quasi-2D condition). Our recent research on 2D granular column collapses by using 2D granular materials (i.e., aluminum rods) has revealed results that differ markedly from those reported in the literature. We assume a 2D column with an initial height of h0 and initial width of d0, a defined as their ratio (a =h0/d0), a final height of h , and maximum run-out distance of d . The experimental data suggest that for the low a regime (a <0.65) the ratio of the final height to initial height is 1. However, for the high a regime (a >0.65), the ratio of a to (d-d0)/d0, h0/h , or d/d0 is expressed by power-law relations. In particular, the following power-function ratios (h0/h=1.42a^2/3 and d/d0=4.30a^0.72) are proposed for every a >0.65. In contrast, the ratio (d-d0)/d0=3.25a^0.96 only holds for 0.65< a< 1.5, whereas the ratio (d-d0)/d0=3.80a^0.73 holds for a>1.5. In addition, the influence of ground contact surfaces (hard or soft beds) on the final run-out distance and destruction zone of the granular column under true 2D conditions is investigated.

description: The ground state of the quantum spin ice candidate magnet Yb2Ti2O7 is known to be sensitive to weak disorder at the 1 percent level which occurs in single crystals grown from the melt. Powders produced by solid state synthesis tend to be stoichiometric and display large and sharp heat capacity anomalies at relatively high temperatures, with Tc about 0.26 K. We have carried out neutron elastic and inelastic measurements on well characterized and equilibrated stoichiometric powder samples of Yb2Ti2O7 which show resolution-limited Bragg peaks to appear at low temperatures, but whose onset correlates with temperatures much higher than Tc. The corresponding magnetic structure is best described as an ice-like splayed ferromagnet. The spin dynamics in Yb2Ti2O7 are shown to be gapless on an energy scale smaller than 0.09 meV at all temperatures, and organized into a continuum of scattering with vestiges of highly overdamped ferromagnetic spin waves present. These excitations differ greatly from conventional spin waves predicted for Yb2Ti2O7 s mean field ordered state, but appear robust to weak disorder as they are largely consistent with those displayed by non stoichiometric crushed single crystals and single crystals, as well as by powder samples of Yb2Ti2O7 s sister quantum magnet Yb2Sn2O7.

description: In this deliverable we report on efforts of EATRIS-Plus sites in the certification of pre-analytical sample processing and in the development of reference values and material for omics technologies used to generate the multiomics data in WP1.
 The technical validity of an experimental process, the quality of the resulting data and reproducibility of the results can be assessed by comparing the data to a known range of values that were developed from well-characterized samples and controlled experimental conditions. Since the experimental processes can differ widely, it is useful to develop target ranges of detection, that are applicable to most commonly used technologies. The development of reference material and the use of target value ranges is discussed in principle and in examples.

description: In this work we employ the split-step technique combined with a Legendre pseudospectral representation to solve various time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equations (GPE). Our findings based on the numerical accuracy of this approach applied for one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) problems show that it can provide accurate and stable solutions. Moreover, this approach has been applied to study the dynamics of the Bose-Einstein condensate which is modeled with the GPE. The breathing of condensate with an repulsive and attractive interactions trapped in 1D and 2D harmonic potentials has been simulated as well.

description: Observations have long associated ice streams with the presence of meltwater at the bed. More recently, theoretical models have been able to reproduce ice-stream behaviour as a consequence of the coupled dynamics of ice and subglacial meltwater. In this paper we analyse the properties of ice streams that form in a coupled model of ice flow and subglacial hydrology. We see that there is a natural length scale defining ice stream separation and width. This arises as a result of the balance between effective pressure gradients driving meltwater away from ice streams and the enhanced water production in the streams due to the fast ice flow. We further discuss how the model interacts with topography and we show that small perturbations to a uniform bed have a strong effect on where ice streams emerge in the model. However, in many cases ice streams then evolve to be closer to the dimensions defined by the natural length scale of the unperturbed system. The non-dimensional parameter that defines this length scale is therefore of fundamental importance in the model.

description: Rectal tumour segmentation in dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is a challenging task, and an automated and consistent method would be highly desirable to improve the modelling and prediction of patient outcomes from tissue contrast enhancement characteristics - particularly in routine clinical practice. A framework is developed to automate DCE-MRI tumour segmentation, by introducing: perfusion-supervoxels to over-segment and classify DCE-MRI volumes using the dynamic contrast enhancement characteristics; and the pieces-of-parts graphical model, which adds global (anatomic) constraints that further refine the supervoxel components that comprise the tumour. The framework was evaluated on 23 DCE-MRI scans of patients with rectal adenocarcinomas, and achieved a voxelwise area-under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.97 compared to expert delineations. Creating a binary tumour segmentation, 21 of the 23 cases were segmented correctly with a median Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 0.63, which is close to the inter-rater variability of this challenging task. A sec- ond study is also included to demonstrate the method's generalisability and achieved a DSC of 0.71. The framework achieves promising results for the underexplored area of rectal tumour segmentation in DCE-MRI, and the methods have potential to be applied to other DCE-MRI and supervoxel segmentation problems

description: Binary asteroids probe thermal-radiation effects on the main-belt asteroids' evolution. We discuss the possibility of detecting binary minor planet systems by the astrometric wobble of the center-of-light around the center-of-mass. This method enables the exploration of the phase-space of binary asteroids, which is difficult to explore using common detection techniques. We describe a forward model that projects the center-of-light position with respect to the center-of-mass, as it is seen by the observer. We study the performance of this method using simulated Gaia-like data. We apply the astrometric method to a subset of the Gaia DR2 Solar System catalog and find no significant evidence of binary asteroids. This is likely because the Gaia DR2 removed astrometric outliers, which in our case may be due to astrophysical signals. Applying this method to binary asteroid (4337) Arecibo, for which Gaia DR3 reported a possible astrometric signal with a period of P = 32.85+/-0.38 hr, reveals a possible 2.2-sigma solution with a period of 16.26 hr (about half the reported period). We find a small, marginally significant, excess of astrometric noise in the known binary asteroid population from Pravec et al. relative to the entire asteroid population in the Gaia DR2 Solar System catalog. We also discuss some caveats like precession and asteroid rotation.
