description: We construct analytically a perturbative supergravity solution that captures the backreaction of a metastable state of anti-branes in the background of a particular modification of the Klebanov-Strassler throat in a long-wavelength approximation. Our solution, which has no unphysical singularities, describes how non-supersymmetric spherical NS5-branes with dissolved anti-D3 brane charge backreact in a fluxed throat geometry. It supports previous claims that there is a well-behaved supergravity description of the metastable state of wrapped NS5-branes proposed years ago by Kachru, Pearson, and Verlinde.

description: Cosmological $α$-attractors stand out as particularly compelling models to describe inflation in the very early universe, naturally meeting tight observational bounds from cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. We investigate $α$-attractor potentials in the presence of an inflection point, leading to enhanced curvature perturbations on small scales. We study both single- and multi-field models, driven by scalar fields living on a hyperbolic field space. In the single-field case, ultra-slow-roll dynamics at the inflection point is responsible for the growth of the power spectrum, while in the multi-field set-up we study the effect of geometrical destabilisation and non geodesic motion in field space. The two mechanisms can in principle be distinguished through the spectral shape of the resulting scalar power spectrum on small scales. These enhanced scalar perturbations can lead to primordial black hole (PBH) production and second-order gravitational wave (GW) generation. Due to the existence of universal predictions in $α$-attractors, consistency with current CMB constraints on the large-scale spectral tilt implies that PBHs can only be produced with masses smaller than $10^8\,\text{g}$ and are accompanied by ultra-high frequency GWs, with a peak expected to be at frequencies of order $10\,\text{kHz}$ or above.

description: Η συνολική αποτελεσματικότητα του εξοπλισμού (Overall Equipment Effectiveness – ΟΕΕ) είναι ένα πρότυπο για τη μέτρηση της παραγωγικότητας μίας γραμμής παραγωγής. Ο δείκτης OEE προσδιορίζει το ποσοστό του χρόνου που είναι πραγματικά παραγωγικό. Η τιμή του δείκτη OEE ίση με 100% αντανακλά την κατασκευή μόνο ποιοτικών προϊόντων, όσο το δυνατόν γρηγορότερα-αποδοτικότερα, χωρίς διακοπές.
Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία έχει ως στόχο την καταγραφή της συνολικής αποτελεσματικότητας του εξοπλισμού μίας πραγματικής γραμμής παραγωγής ασφαλειών τήξεως (μαχαιρωτές ασφάλειες). Η γραμμή παραγωγής/συναρμολόγησης αποτελείτε από 7 σταθμούς παραγωγής. Αφού γίνει αναλυτική καταγραφή των εργασιών που εκτελούνται σε κάθε μονάδα, θα καταγραφούν σε ημερήσια βάση και για διάστημα ενός μήνα τα προβλήματα λειτουργίας της συγκεκριμένης γραμμής παραγωγής με σκοπό τον υπολογισμό της συνολικής αποτελεσματικότητας του εξοπλισμού. Η λεπτομερής καταγραφή των δυσλειτουργιών του εξοπλισμού θα καταδείξει με σαφήνεια και λεπτομέρεια  τα προβλήματα που οδηγούν σε τυχόν χαμηλή αποτελεσματικότητα της γραμμής παραγωγής. Σκοπός της διπλωματικής είναι τελικά η διατύπωση προτάσεων βελτίωσης που θα οδηγήσουν σε αύξηση της αποτελεσματικότητας και της παραγωγής.
description: Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a standard for measuring the productivity of a production line. The OEE index determines the percentage of time that is truly productive. The value of the OEE index equal to 100% reflects the manufacture of only quality products, as fast-efficient as possible, without interruptions.
The aim of this thesis is to record the overall efficiency of the equipment of a real production line of melting fuses (knife fuses). The production/assembly line is consisted of 7 production stations. After a detailed record of the work performed in each unit, the problems of operation of the specific production line will be recorded on a daily basis and for a period of one month in order to calculate the overall efficiency of the equipment. A detailed record of equipment malfunctions will clearly and in detail demonstrate the problems leading to any low efficiency of the production line. The purpose of the thesis is ultimately to formulate proposals for improvement that will lead to increased efficiency and production.

description: Recent experimental advances in Floquet engineering and controlling dissipation in open systems have brought about unprecedented flexibility in tailoring novel phenomena without any static and Hermitian analogues. It can be epitomized by the various Floquet and non-Hermitian topological phases. Topological classifications of either static/Floquet Hermitian or static non-Hermitian systems based on the underlying symmetries have been well established in the past several years. However, a coherent understanding and classification of Floquet non-Hermitian (FNH) topological phases have not been achieved yet. Here we systematically classify FNH topological bands for 54-fold generalized Bernard-LeClair (GBL)symmetry classes and arbitrary spatial dimensions using $K$-theory. The classification distinguishes two different scenarios of the Floquet operator's spectrum gaps [dubbed as Floquet operator (FO) angle-gapped and FO angle-gapless]. The results culminate into two periodic tables, each containing 54-fold GBL symmetry classes. Our scheme reveals FNH topological phases without any static/Floquet Hermitian and static non-Hermitian counterparts. And our results naturally produce the periodic tables of Floquet Hermitian topological insulators and Floquet unitaries. The framework can also be applied to characterize the topological phases of bosonic systems. We provide concrete examples of one and two-dimensionalfermionic/bosonic systems. And we elucidate the meaning of the topological invariants and their physical consequences. Our paper lays the foundation for a comprehensive exploration of FNH topological bands. And it opens a broad avenue toward uncovering unique phenomena and functionalities emerging from the synthesis of periodic driving, non-Hermiticity, and band topology.

Anstiftung zur Kritik. Überlegungen zu einer politisch-theologischen Ethik
Creators: name: Riedl, Anna Maria
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2017

description: In Auseinandersetzung mit der politischen Philosophie Judith Butlers (ihrer Theorie postsouveräner Subjekte und der Kritik der ethischen Gewalt) fragt der Artikel nach einer politisch-theologischen Ethik, die Ethik wesentlich als Praxis der Kritik versteht. Ausgangspunkt dieser Überlegungen sind die Herausforderungen, die die Neue Politische Theologie aufgeworfen hatte und die als bleibende Aufgabe im Raum stehen. Indem Butler als dritte Gesprächspartnerin in den nicht immer einfachen Dialog von Neuer Politischer Theologie und theologischer Ethik eingeführt wird, lassen sich diese Aufgaben und Herausforderungen aufnehmen und zugleich weiterdenken. So lässt sich eine Ethik in den Blick nehmen, die ihre wesentliche Aufgabe in der Kritik sieht, die auf ethische Gewaltlosigkeit abzielt und die sich im Spannungsfeld im von Anthropologie, Gesellschaftstheorie und politischer Verantwortung verortet.

In dialogue with the political philosophy of Judith Butler (specifically her theory of post-sovereign subjects and the critique of ethical violence) my article sketches a politico-theological ethics that understands ethics as critique. My starting point are the challenges formulated by the New Political Theology, which remain relevant to this day. By introducing Butler as a third element into the (often difficult) debate between New Political Theology and Theological Ethics, these challenges can be taken up and thought about anew. This allows us to focus on an ethic as critique, non-violent and situated between anthropology, social theory and political responsibility.

Kritik der Repräsentation. Postkoloniale Perspektiven für die theologische Sozialethik

Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2017

description: Der Text vertritt die These, dass mit Repräsentation bedeutende Gerechtigkeitsprobleme einhergehen. Dies liegt maßgeblich an der Ambivalenz des Repräsentationsverfahrens, denn einerseits ist Stellvertretung unumgänglich, um alle Interessen in gesellschaftliche Aushandlungsprozesse einzubringen, andererseits führt sie zu Exklusionen, da sie eben /keine/ Selbstrepräsentation ist und immer mit Fremddarstellungen einhergeht, die andere bevormunden. Im Text wird die  postkoloniale Theorie mit ihren Analyseinstrumenten des Othering herangezogen, um Repräsentation zu kritisieren

The text argues that representation is a major issues of justice. This is largely due to the ambivalence of the representation process, because on the one hand representation is indispensable to bring all interests into social negotiation processes, on the other hand it leads to exclusions, since it is not a self-representation and always accompanied by foreign representations that patronize others. The text uses postcolonial theory with its analytical tools of the Othering to criticize representation.

In guter Gesellschaft? Ortsbestimmung zur gesellschaftskritischen Aufgabe der Ethik

Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2017

description: Ethik wird beinahe schon selbstverständlich als gesellschaftskritisch eingeordnet. Besonders die jüngeren Einschätzungen der Normativi-tät der Gesellschaft, die als Herrschaftsmechanismus interpretiert wird, scheinen die Ethik zu ihrer natürlichen Opposition zu bestim-men. Der Beitrag will hingegen aufzeigen, dass maßgebliche Grund-sätze der Ethik auf Prämissen beruhen, die die Ethik mit der moder-nen Gesellschaft teilt. Es kann ein Verständnis von ethischer gesell-schaftlicher Normativität gewonnen werden, das zu einem anderen Kritikbegriff führt. Dieser zielt nicht darauf, die Gesellschaft pauschal anzugreifen, sondern sucht eine funktionierende Gesellschaft im normativen Sinne zu schaffen bzw. zu verteidigen. Damit geht der Schutz von Würde und Selbstbestimmung einher.

We tend to associate ethics with a critical stance towards society in general. This notion is supported by evaluations of the normativity inherent to society, which has been interpreted as a mechanism of governing individuals. This would destine ethics to oppose normative society, in favour of human liberty and autonomy. This paper argues, instead, that core tenets of ethics are overlapping with parts of the normative structure of modern society. Therefore, we can develop a notion of ethical social normativity which leads to a different under-standing of criticism. This criticism strives not to abolish society, but to constitute and defend its normativity in an ethical fashion. This leads to the protection of dignity and autonomy.

description: Dengue is one of the most important viral diseases globally and a majority of symptomatic infections result in a benign course. However, a small number of patients develop severe manifestations, including the cardiovascular (CV) manifestations, including myocardial impairment, arrhythmias, and fulminant myocarditis. Electronic databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and CINAHL were searched for articles incorporating CV manifestations of dengue fever (DF). Included studies involved 6,773 patients, and 3,122 (46.1%) exhibited at least one cardiac manifestation. Electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities (30.6%) included sinus bradycardia (8.8%), nonspecific ST-T changes (8.6%), ST depression (7.9%), and T-wave inversion (2.3%). Mechanical sequelae were present in 10.4%, including left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction (5.7%), and myocarditis (2.9%). Pericardial involvement was noted as pericarditis (0.1%), pericardial effusion (1.3%), and pericardial tamponade (0.1%). Apart from that, the cardiac injury was depicted through a rise in cardiac enzymes (4.5%). The spectrum of CV manifestations in dengue is broad, ranging from subtle ST-T changes to fulminant myocarditis and the use of contemporary techniques in diagnosing cardiac involvement should be employed for rapid diagnosis and treatment.
Von der christlichen Kritik an beziehungsvergessenen Gerechtigkeitstheorien

description: Gerechtigkeit ist für pluralistische Gesellschaften ein zentrales ethisches Kriterium. Angesichts der vielen offen zutage liegenden Gerechtigkeitsdefizite in der Gestaltung unserer Gesellschaften stellt sich allerdings die Frage, warum die dominanten Vorstellungen von Gerechtigkeit uns nicht dazu befähigen, empfundenen Ungerechtigkeiten wirksamer entgegen zu treten. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird die These entfaltet, dass ein biblisch-theologisch inspiriertes Gerechtigkeitsverständnis all denen zur Inspirationsquelle werden kann, die nach einem Gerechtigkeitsverständnis suchen, das die Motivationspotenziale persönlicher Begegnungen mit den personenunabhängigen Gerechtigkeitsstandards einer Großgesellschaft verschränkt. Dafür wird Gerechtigkeit zunächst in der Auseinandersetzung mit den Texten der jüdisch-christlichen Offenbarung als ein Beziehungsgeschehen konturiert, das gemeinschaftliche Verbundenheit herstellen will und sein Ziel im Rechtfertigungsgeschehen findet. Anschließend wird dieser Befund mit den Konzepten der Philosophen Martha Nussbaum und Jiwei Ci verbunden, um seine zeitgemäße Validität zu verdeutlichen.

As justice is a central ethical criterion for life in pluralistic societies, it is rather bewildering to see that despite the sensitive recognition of manifold injustices, the dominant Western conceptions of justice do not have enough power to motivate its adherents to tackle perceived injustices sufficiently. The article suggests that the inspiration of a biblically grounded Christian ethical understanding of justice will be of help to all those who look for a conception of justice that ties its own demands closer together with the motivational resources it provides. After rereading the biblical texts and delineating justice as a relational dynamic geared towards establishing harmonious community finding its ultimate fulfilment in the new testament’s formula of ‚justice as grace‘, the article moves on to compare the Christian ethical conception of justice with the understandings of justice that surface in the writings of Martha Nussbaum and Jiwei Ci. In doing so it demonstrates its relevance for modern ethical discourses and life in pluralistic modern societies.

description: The joint detection of gravitational waves and the gamma-ray counterpart of a binary neutron star merger event, GW170817, unambiguously validates the connection between short gamma-ray bursts and compact binary object (CBO) mergers. We focus on a special scenario where short gamma-ray bursts produced by CBO mergers are embedded in disks of active galactic nuclei (AGN), and we investigate the $γ$-ray emission produced in the internal dissipation region via synchrotron, synchrotron self-Compton and external inverse-Compton (EIC) processes. In this scenario, isotropic thermal photons from the AGN disks contribute to the EIC component. We show that a low-density cavity can be formed in the migration traps, leading to the embedded mergers producing successful GRB jets. We find that the EIC component would dominate the GeV emission for typical CBO mergers with an isotropic-equivalent luminosity of $L_{j,\rm iso}=10^{48.5}~\rm erg~s^{-1}$ which are located close to the central supermassive black hole. Considering a long-lasting jet of duration $T_{\rm dur}\sim10^2-10^3$ s, we find that the future CTA will be able to detect its $25-100$ GeV emission out to a redshift $z=1.0$. {In the optimistic case, it is possible to detect the on-axis extended emission simultaneously with GWs within one decade using MAGIC, H.E.S.S., VERITAS, CTA, and LHAASO-WCDA. Early diagnosis of prompt emissions with Fermi-GBM and HAWC can provide valuable directional information for the follow-up observations.

description: We use an updated version of the halo-based galaxy group catalog of Yang et al., and take the surface brightness of the galaxy group ($μ_{\rm lim}$) based on projected positions and luminosities of galaxy members as a compactness proxy to divide groups into sub-systems with different compactness. By comparing various properties, including galaxy conditional luminosity function, stellar population, active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity, and X-ray luminosity of the intra-cluster medium of carefully controlled high (HC) and low compactness (LC) group samples, we find that the group compactness plays an essential role in characterizing the detailed physical properties of the group themselves and their group members, especially for low mass groups with $M_h \lesssim 10^{13.5}h^{-1}M_{\odot}$. We find that the low-mass HC groups have a systematically lower magnitude gap $Δm_{12}$ and X-ray luminosity than their LC counterparts, indicating that the HC groups are probably in the early stage of group merging. On the other hand, a higher fraction of passive galaxies is found in the HC group, which however is a result of systematically smaller halo-centric distance distribution of their satellite population. After controlling of both $M_h$ and halo-centric distance, we do not find any differences for both the quenching faction and AGN activity of the member galaxies between the HC and LC groups. Therefore, we conclude that the halo quenching effect, which result in the halo-centric dependence of galaxy population, is a faster process compared to the dynamical relaxed time-scale of galaxy groups.

description: Achieving monolithic integration of passive acoustic wave devices, in particular RF filters, with active devices such as RF amplifiers and switches, is the optimal solution to meet the challenging communication requirements of mobile devices, especially as we move towards the 6G era. This requires a significant ($\approx$100x) reduction in the size of the RF passives, from mm$^2$ footprints in current devices to tens of $μm^2$ in future systems. Applying ideas from integrated photonics, we demonstrate that high frequency (>3 GHz) sound can be efficiently guided in $μ$m-scale gallium nitride(GaN) waveguides by exploiting the strong velocity contrast available in the GaN on silicon carbide (SiC) platform. Given the established use of GaN devices in RF amplifiers, our work opens up the possibility of building monolithically integrated RF front-ends in GaN-on-SiC.

description: In this work the influence of picosecond laser (ps) irradiation (PLI) on the properties of black Cr electrodeposited on an SS substrate has been investigated. XPS has shown that black Cr treatment by PLI changes the concentrations of elements on the black Cr coating surface. Furthermore, it diminishes the quantity of CrN compound, while increasing the quantity of metallic chromium (Cro). Full reflectance (RD) of black Cr after treatment with PLI and before treatment in the visible region (300–800 nm) were quite close. Thermal tests at a temperature of 200 oC showed that the adhesion between black Cr treated with PLI and SS is better than that of black chromium not treated with PLI. Thus, such a black Cr absorber may be used in solar water heaters.

description: Der Aufsatz nimmt die kapitalismus- und religionskritischen Impulse von Marx und Weber für die protestantische (Arbeits-)Ethik auf, argumentiert aber auch für geschlechterkritisch begründete Perspektivverschiebungen, indem auf die Relevanz der Subsistenz- für die Erwerbsarbeit reflektiert und politisch-ethisch über den Arbeit-Kapital-Konflikt hinausgedacht wird. Dies wird dargelegt anhand des ILO-Übereinkommens zur Gleichstellung von Haushaltsarbeiterinnen mit anderen Erwerbstätigen (2011) und in einer historischen Vertiefung zur Sozial-, Rechts- und Moralgeschichte der »Dienstmädchenfrage« in Deutschland. Theoretisch wird angesetzt beim Zusammenhang von Real- und Moralregime; perspektivisch interessiert dessen Relevanz für eine emanzipatorische theologische Ethik.

description: The transport statistics of the 1D chain and metallic armchair graphene nanoribbons with hopping disorder are studied, with a focus on understanding the cross-over between the zero-energy critical point and the localized regime at large energy. In this cross-over region, transport is found to be described by a 2-parameter scaling with the ratio $s$ of system size to mean-free-path, and the product $r$ of energy and scattering time. This 2-parameter scaling shows excellent data collapse across a wide a variety of system sizes, energies, and disorder strengths. The numerically obtained transport distributions in this regime are found to be well-described by a Nakagami distribution, whose form is controlled up to an overall scaling by the ratio $s / |\ln r|^2$. For sufficiently small values of this parameter, transport appears virtually identical to that of the zero-energy critical point, while at large values, a localized, Gaussian distribution is recovered. For intermediate values, the distribution interpolates smoothly between these two limits.

description: Im Bereich der politischen Kommunikation haben sich neue Kommunikationsformen entwickelt, welche Informationen an die Menschen vermitteln und diesen auch ermöglicht, sich zu beteiligen und die eigene Meinung kund zu tun. In der vorliegenden kritischen Literaturanalyse werden unterschiedliche Online-Partizipationsformen, welche in diversen Studien untersucht worden sind, näher beleuchtet. Die Ergebnisse aus den herangezogenen Forschungsarbeiten zeigen, dass die Vielfalt an Online-Partizipationsmöglichkeiten einem
            stetigen Wandel unterliegt. Insbesondere die sozialen Medien wie Facebook oder Twitter
            ermöglichen den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern, einen mit geringem Aufwand verbundenen
            Beitrag im Hinblick auf politische Beteiligung zu leisten – von Likes und Shares bis hin zu
            Unterschriftenaktionen und Online-Abstimmungen. Die uneingeschränkte Verfügbarkeit
            dieser Online-Partizipationsformen ist sowohl mit Chancen als auch Risiken behaftet. Zum
            einen kann das Netz die Demokratisierung von Information vorantreiben, zum anderen
            kann eine soziale Segmentierung zu einem „Democratic Divide“ sowie zu „Informationseliten“
            führen, was mit einer wachsenden Desinformation einhergeht.

description: We present a three-dimensional imaging technique for fast tracking of microscopic objects in a fluid environment. Our technique couples digital holographic microscopy with three-dimensional localisation via parabolic masking. Compared with existing approaches, our method reconstructs 3D volumes from single-plane images, which greatly simplifies image acquisition, reduces the demand on microscope hardware, and facilitates tracking higher densities of microscopic particles while maintaining similar levels of precision. We demonstrate utility of this method in magnetic tweezer experiments, opening their use to multiplexed single-molecule force spectroscopy assays, which were previously limited by particle crowding and fast dissociation times. We propose that our technique will also be useful in other applications that involve the tracking of microscopic objects in three dimensions, such as studies of microorganism motility and 3D flow characterisation of microfluidic devices.

description: Temperature strongly impacts battery performance, safety and durability, but modelling heat transfer requires accurately measured thermal properties. Herein we propose new approaches to characterise the heat capacity and anisotropic thermal-conductivity components for lithium-ion pouch cells. Heat capacity was estimated by applying Newton's law of cooling to an insulated container within which the cell was submerged in warmed dielectric fluid. Thermal conductivity was quantified by heating one side of the cell and measuring the opposing temperature distribution with infra-red thermography, then inverse modelling with the anisotropic heat equation. Experiments were performed on commercial 20 Ah lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pouch cells. At 100% state-of-charge (SOC), the heat capacity of a 489 g, 224 mL pouch cell was 541 J/K. The through-plane and in-plane thermal conductivities were respectively 0.52 and 26.6 W/(mK). Capturing anisotropies in conductivity is important for accurate thermal simulations. State-of-charge dependence was also probed by testing at 50% SOC: the heat capacity dropped by 6% and thermal conductivity did not significantly change.

description: In this work, we propose a new subclass of extreme-mass-ratio-inspirals (EMRIs): mass-gap EMRIs, consisting of a compact object in the lower mass gap $\sim (2.5-5) M_\odot$ and a massive black hole (MBH). The mass-gap object (MGO) may be a primordial black hole or produced from a delayed supernova explosion. We calculate the formation rate of mass-gap EMRIs in both the (dry) loss-cone channel and the (wet) active galactic nucleus disk channel by solving Fokker-Planck-type equations for the phase-space distribution. In the dry channel, the mass-gap EMRI rate is strongly suppressed compared to the EMRI rate of stellar-mass black holes (sBHs) as a result of mass segregation effect. In the wet channel, the suppression is roughly equal to the mass ratio of sBHs over MGOs, because the migration speed of a compact object in an active galactic nucleus disk is proportional to its mass. We find that the wet channel is much more promising to produce mass-gap EMRIs observable by spaceborne gravitation wave detectors. (Non-)detection of mass-gap EMRIs may be used to distinguish different supernova explosion mechanisms and constrainthe abundance of primordial black holes around MBHs.

description: We demonstrate the flexibility and utility of the Berger-Rigoutsos Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) algorithm used in the open-source numerical relativity code GRChombo for generating gravitational waveforms from binary black-hole inspirals, and for studying other problems involving non-trivial matter configurations. We show that GRChombo can produce high quality binary black-hole waveforms through a code comparison with the established numerical relativity code Lean. We also discuss some of the technical challenges involved in making use of full AMR (as opposed to, e.g. moving box mesh refinement), including the numerical effects caused by using various refinement criteria when regridding. We suggest several "rules of thumb" for when to use different tagging criteria for simulating a variety of physical phenomena. We demonstrate the use of these different criteria through example evolutions of a scalar field theory. Finally, we also review the current status and general capabilities of GRChombo.

Ab initio investigation of H-bond disordering in $δ$-AlOOH

description: $δ$-AlOOH ($δ$) is a high-pressure hydrous phase that participates in the deep geological water cycle. At 0 GPa, $δ$ has asymmetric hydrogen bonds (H-bonds). Under pressure, it exhibits H-bond disordering, tunneling, and finally, H-bond symmetrization at ~18 GPa. This study investigates these 300 K pressure-induced state changes in $δ$ with ab initio calculations. H-bond disordering in $δ$ was modeled using supercell multi-configuration quasiharmonic calculations. We examine: (a) energy barriers for proton jumps, (b) the pressure dependence of phonon frequencies, (c) 300 K compressibility, (d) neutron diffraction pattern anomalies, and (e) compare ab initio bond lengths with measured ones. Such thorough and systematic comparisons indicate that: (a) proton "disorder" has a restricted meaning when applied to $δ$. Nevertheless, H-bonds are disordered between 0 and 8 GPa, and a gradual change in H-bond configuration results in enhanced compressibility. (b) several structural and vibrational anomalies at ~8 GPa are consistent with the disappearance of a particular (HOC-12) H-bond configuration and its change into another one (HOC-11*). (c) between 8-11 GPa, H-bond configuration (HOC-11*) is generally ordered, at least in short- to mid-range scale. (d) between 11.5-18 GPa, H-bond lengths approach a critical value that impedes compression, resulting in decreased compressibility. In this pressure range, especially approaching H-bond symmetrization at ~18 GPa, anharmonicity and tunneling should play an essential role in the proton dynamics. Further simulations accounting for these effects are desirable to clarify the protons' state in this pressure range.
