A broadband X-ray spectral study of the Seyfert 1 galaxy ESO 141--G055 with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR

description: We have extensively studied the broadband X-ray spectra of the source ESO~141--G055 using all available \xmm{} and \nustar{} observations. We detect a prominent soft excess below 2 keV, a narrow Fe line and a Compton hump (>10 keV). The origin of the soft excess is still debated. We used two models to describe the soft excess: the blurred reflection from the ionized accretion disk and the intrinsic thermal Comptonisation model. We find that both of these models explain the soft excess equally well. We confirm that we do not detect any broad Fe line in the X-ray spectra of this source, although both the physical models prefer a maximally spinning black hole scenario (a$>$0.96). This may mean that either the broad Fe line is absent or blurred beyond detection. The Eddington rate of the source is estimated to be $λ_{Edd} \sim 0.31$. In the reflection model, the Compton hump has a contribution from both ionized and neutral reflection components. The neutral reflector which simultaneously describes the narrow Fe K$α$ and the Compton hump has a column density of $\rm N_{H} \geq 7\times 10^{24} \rm cm^{-2} $. In addition, we detect a partially covering ionized absorption with ionization parameter $\log ξ/\rm erg cm s^{-1}$ = $0.1^{+0.1}_{-0.1}$ and column density $\rm N_{H} =20.6^{+1.0}_{-1.0}\times 10^{22} \rm cm^{-2}$ with a covering factor of $0.21^{+0.01}_{-0.01}$.

description: We theoretically study the Hilbert space structure of two neighbouring P donor electrons in silicon-based quantum computer architectures. To use electron spins as qubits, a crucial condition is the isolation of the electron spins from their environment, including the electronic orbital degrees of freedom. We provide detailed electronic structure calculations of both the single donor electron wave function and the two-electron pair wave function. We adopted a molecular orbital method for the two-electron problem, forming a basis with the calculated single donor electron orbitals. Our two-electron basis contains many singlet and triplet orbital excited states, in addition to the two simple ground state singlet and triplet orbitals usually used in the Heitler-London approximation to describe the two-electron donor pair wave function. We determined the excitation spectrum of the two-donor system, and study its dependence on strain, lattice position and inter donor separation. This allows us to determine how isolated the ground state singlet and triplet orbitals are from the rest of the excited state Hilbert space. In addition to calculating the energy spectrum, we are also able to evaluate the exchange coupling between the two donor electrons, and the double occupancy probability that both electrons will reside on the same P donor. These two quantities are very important for logical operations in solid-state quantum computing devices, as a large exchange coupling achieves faster gating times, whilst the magnitude of the double occupancy probability can affect the error rate.

description: The impacts of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on North American trade are described and analyzed using a variant of a gravity model. Controlling for the effects of real gross domestic product (GDP) and real exchange rates, the impacts of NAFTA on trade flows are statistically significant and positive in all but one case. Growth in real GDP has contributed to positive trade flows while real exchange rates have also affected trade flows in statistically discernible ways. In general, manufactured goods as well as machinery and transport equipment have benefited most from NAFTA while agricultural products have displayed less dynamic growth.

description: In the recent years, retrieval analysis of exoplanet atmospheres have been very successful, providing deep insights on the composition and the temperature structure of these worlds via the transit and eclipse methods. Analysis of spectral phase curve observations, which in theory provides even more information, are still limited to a few planets. In the next decade, new facilities such as NASA-JWST and ESA-Ariel will revolutionise the field of exoplanet atmospheres and we expect that a significant time will be spent on spectral phase curve observations. Most current models are still limited in their analysis of phase curve data as they do not consider the planet atmosphere as a whole or they require large computational resources. In this paper we present a semi-analytical model that will allow to compute exoplanet emission spectra at different phase angles. Our model provides a way to simulate a large number of observations while being only about 4 times slower than the traditional forward model for plane parallel primary eclipse. This model, which is based on the newly developed TauREx3 framework (Al-Refaie 2020), will be further developed to allow for phase curve atmospheric retrievals.

description: The Advanced Camera for Surveys on-board HST is equipped with a set of one grism and three prisms for low-resolution, slitless spectroscopy in the range 1150 Ang. to 10500 Ang. The G800L grism provides optical spectroscopy between 5500 Ang. and 1 micron with a mean dispersion of 39 Ang./pix and 24 Ang./pix (in the first spectral order) when coupled with the Wide Field and the High Resolution Channels, respectively. Given the lack of any on-board calibration lamps for wavelength and narrow band flat-fielding, the G800L grism can only be calibrated using astronomical targets. In this paper, we describe the strategy used to calibrate the grism in orbit, with special attention to the treatment of the field dependence of the grism flat-field, wavelength solution and sensitivity in both Channels.

Subjects: Labor and Human Capital

description: This article explores the speed of adjustment in Indian agricultural labor markets to changing economic circumstances. Agricultural wages in sixteen states during 1970-86 are analyzed. Results indicate that agricultural wages adjust quickly toward their long-run values, completing about one-fifth to one-fourth of the adjustment per year. Results also suggest strong linkages between the agricultural and nonagricultural labor markets. Interstate agricultural productivity differences have risen substantially in the last twenty-five years, and many feel this has led to a disintegration of the agricultural labor market. The findings suggest an indirect integration may be occurring through migration to nonagriculture.

High-school students from Potsdam and Berlin digitized more than 3500 full-disk images during two- to three-week internships at AIP. The digital images cover a 15 cm $\times$ 15 cm region on photographic plates, which were scanned at a resolution of 7086 $\times$ 7086 pixels. The raw data are monochromatic 8-bit images in the Tagged Image File Format (TIFF). These images were calibrated and saved with improved photometric precision as 16-bit images with 2048 $\times$ 2048 pixels in the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) format, which contains extensive headers describing the full-disk images and the observations. The various calibration steps include, for example, accurate measurements of the solar radius, determination of the limb-darkening function, and establishing an accurate coordinate system. The contrast-enhanced and limb-darkening corrected images as well as the raw data are freely available to researchers and the general public in publicly accessible repository. The data are published as a special data release of the Archives of Photographic PLates for Astronomical USE (APPLAUSE) project.

description: Agriculture's impact on the environment is a complex research problem. A challenge to future economic research is to account for the interrelationship between agricultural production activities, soil productivity, erosion, and water quality. It will become increasingly important to determine not only the economic consequences, but also the environmental effectiveness of alternative policies aimed at improving resource use and quality. The application of biophysical simulation models to environmental quality problems provides a means to better understand the complex interaction between agricultural production and environmental quality.

description: We calculate the full one-loop electroweak (FEW) corrections to $H^-\to\widetildeχ^-_1\widetildeχ^0_i$ in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), and compare with the leading order (LO) corrections including the loops of the (s)quarks only in the third generation and the complete leading order (CLO) corrections including the loops of the (s)quarks in all the three generations. We find that the magnitudes of the FEW corrections can be larger than 10% for $\tanβ>30$. Moreover, comparing with the FEW corrections, both of the LO and the CLO corrections are negligible small for the mode 1($H^-\to\widetildeχ^-_1\widetildeχ^0_1$) when $\tanβ<5$, and for the mode 2($H^-\to\widetildeχ^-_1\widetildeχ^0_2$) when $\tanβ>45$, respectively, since there are not enhancements from the Yukawa couplings. We also calculate the FEW corrections in the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) scenario, where the FEW corrections can be larger than the LO and the CLO corrections by more than 60% and 50%, respectively.

description: Stream classification methods classify a continuous stream of data as new labelled samples arrive. They often also have to deal with concept drift. This paper focuses on seasonal drift in stream classification, which can be found in many real-world application data sources. Traditional approaches of stream classification consider seasonal drift by including seasonal dummy/indicator variables or building separate models for each season. But these approaches have strong limitations in high-dimensional classification problems, or with complex seasonal patterns. This paper explores how to best handle seasonal drift in the specific context of news article categorization (or classification/tagging), where seasonal drift is overwhelmingly the main type of drift present in the data, and for which the data are high-dimensional. We introduce a novel classifier named Seasonal Averaged One-Dependence Estimators (SAODE), which extends the AODE classifier to handle seasonal drift by including time as a super parent. We assess our SAODE model using two large real-world text mining related datasets each comprising approximately a million records, against nine state-of-the-art stream and concept drift classification models, with and without seasonal indicators and with separate models built for each season. Across five different evaluation techniques, we show that our model consistently outperforms other methods by a large margin where the results are statistically significant.

An diesem Arbeitsintegrationsprozess, welcher durch strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen beeinflusst wird, sind verschiedene Akteur*innen mit unterschiedlichen Interessen beteiligt. Diese Bachelorarbeit untersucht die Herausforderungen der Arbeitsintegration von anerkannten Flüchtlingen für die sozialarbeiterische Praxis im Kanton Uri. Es werden mit qualitativen Expert*innen-Interviews die strukturellen und individuellen Faktoren ermittelt, welche es aus den Perspektiven der involvierten Akteur*innen für eine gelingende Arbeitsintegration der anerkannten Flüchtlinge im Kanton Uri benötigt. Daraus werden konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für die Sozialarbeitenden im Flüchtlingsbereich im Kanton Uri entwickelt. Diese Forschungsarbeit zeigt, dass die erfolgreiche Arbeitsintegration im Kanton Uri von unterschiedlichen Faktoren auf individueller und struktureller Ebene beeinflusst wird. Die Sozialarbeitenden sollen diese Faktoren sowie die besonderen Gegebenheiten im Kanton Uri wie die Grösse, die Angliederung und die Nähe der einzelnen Fachstellen sowie die Flexibilität der involvierten Akteur*innen in der Arbeit mit den anerkannten Flüchtlingen berücksichtigen. Des Weiteren macht diese Arbeit auf die Komplexität des Arbeitsintegrationsprozesses aufmerksam und soll die involvierten Akteur*innen für eine differenzierte Betrachtung des Prozesses und der besonderen Bedürfnisse der anerkannten Flüchtlinge sensibilisieren.

description: Motivated by the dynamics of resonant neurons we discuss the properties of the first passage time (FPT) densities for nonmarkovian differentiable random processes. We start from an exact expression for the FPT density in terms of an infinite series of integrals over joint densities of level crossings, and consider different approximations based on truncation or on approximate summation of this series. Thus, the first few terms of the series give good approximations for the FPT density on short times. For rapidly decaying correlations the decoupling approximations perform well in the whole time domain. As an example we consider resonate-and-fire neurons representing stochastic underdamped or moderately damped harmonic oscillators driven by white Gaussian or by Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise. We show, that approximations reproduce all qualitatively different structures of the FPT densities: from monomodal to multimodal densities with decaying peaks. The approximations work for the systems of whatever dimension and are especially effective for the processes with narrow spectral density, exactly when markovian approximations fail.

Application of interference cancellation to third generation partnership project wireless systems

description: Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) is one of the technologies available for present day as well as future wireless systems. A major limitation on the use of CDMA is Multiple Access Interference (MAI). This is caused by imperfect separation of users communicating within the same physical frequency and time domain. Eliminating MAI enhances detection of the desired user's signal in a DS-CDMA system. Multiuser detection considers the interference caused by other users in the same communication system while detecting the* desired user. Our work involves critical study and evaluation of some of the many multiuser detection algorithms for Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) wireless systems. We selected and compared performance of the Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC), Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) and Group-wise Serial Interference Cancellation (GSIC) methods in the uplink of a 3 GPP system. To evaluate the expected performance improvement, computer simulations were carried out using MATLAB® software. A UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) base station with a conventional receiver was compared to another one employing PIC, SIC and GSIC receivers. Test parameters were set to values provided in the 3 GPP Standard. Power control was not implemented in our study. Results of these simulations demonstrate lower bit error rates in those receivers employing interference cancellation in most cases. We observe that the three receivers are equally suitable at low SIR, low data rates and small number of users. None of the three schemes is suitable for systems using high data rates (raw bit rate of 480 kbps or higher) or high number of users (more than 25 users per sector). The PIC receiver is better than the SIC and GSIC at about 0 dB SIR. With these observations, we conclude that any of these three schemes can be deployed to a 3 GPP system. Channel conditions under the 3GPP test scenarios are harsh and may give worst-case performance results with interference cancellation, especially without use of power control. In some environments such as wireless LAN's, low number of users and moderate data rates would prevail, in which case interference cancellation would improve performance significantly.

description: The use of chemical pesticides frequently causes minor pests to become serious problems by disturbing the natural controls that keep them in check. As a result, it is possible to suffer heavier crop losses after pesticides are introduced than before their introduction. Efficient use of pesticides requires complete biological modeling that takes the appropriate predator-prey relationships into account. A bioeconomic model is introduced involving three key species: a primary target pest, a secondary pest, and a natural enemy of the secondary pest. Optimal decision rules are derived and contrasted with myopic decision making, which treats the predator-prey system as an externality. The issue of resistance in the secondary pest is examined briefly.

description: Contamination of groundwater by agricultural practices presents a dilemma between protecting a vital resource and maintaining a valuable part of the economy. Policies to balance these objectives are presented. In addition to an historical baseline, policies that ban certain pesticides, taxes and subsidies, and control cultural practices are also considered. A model is developed to reflect the current state of agriculture in Eastern Suffolk County. This model consists of a recursive programming component, which has input for it generated by a stochastic model of Colorado potato beetle pest dynamics and management strategies to control those pests. While income is reduced by banning pesticides, the reduction is small when compared with the improvement in environmental quality. Further efforts to reduce pesticide use resulted in a reduction in potato acreage and incomes, as well as yields. Analysis concludes that improvements in both farm income and environmental quality could be achieved through the adoption of subsidies for low-input conservation crops.

description: The present work provides a profound analytical and numerical analysis of the material properties of SFRC on the mesoscale as well as the resulting correlation structure taking into account the probabilistic characteristics of the fiber geometry. This is done by calculating the engineering constants using the analytical framework given by Tandon and Weng as well as Halpin and Tsai. The input parameters like fiber length, diameter and orientation are chosen with respect to their probability density function. It is shown, that they are significantly influenced by the fiber length, the fiber orientation and the fiber volume fraction. The verification of the analytically obtained values is done on a numerical basis. Therefore, a two-dimensional microstructure is generated and transferred to a numerical model. The advantage of this procedure is, that there are several fibers with different geometrical properties placed in a preset area. The results of the numerical analysis meet the analytically obtained conclusions. Furthermore, the results of the numerical simulations are independent of the assumption of a plane strain and plane stress state, respectively. Finally, the correlation structure of the elasticity tensor is investigated. Not only the symmetry properties of the elasticity tensor characterize the correlation structure, but also the overall transversely-isotropic material behavior is confirmed. In contrast to the influencing parameters, the correlation functions vary for a plane strain and a plane stress state.

description: This study shows that the price-yield correlation is a major influence in determining the skewness of revenue. Therefore, normality for revenue may not be rejected even if the price and/or yield distributions are significantly skewed. Analysis of cotton revenue for Mississippi shows that this can be the case empirically when the correlation between price and yield is moderately negative and the relative variability of yield and price is not too high. Hence, for crops produced in their major production regions where negative correlations between prices and yields are the greatest, revenue distributions may have a greater tendency toward normal.

description: Der demographische Wandel gehört zu den Megatrends unserer Gesellschaft. Die aktuelle Situation zeigt, dass in der Schweiz noch nie so viele über 65-jährige Menschen gelebt haben und, dass ihr Anteil in den nächsten Jahren deutlich ansteigen wird. Die Folgen dieser demographischen Alterung werden zunehmend spürbar. Durch die immer längere Lebenszeit und die steigende Lebensqualität von älteren Personen nach der Pensionierung, ist es nachvollziehbar, dass sie ihre Ressourcen und Fähigkeiten in der Gesellschaft weiter einbringen wollen. Hierbei rückt das dritte Alter als bedeutsame Phase in den Vordergrund. Diese gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen veranlassten die Autorin dazu, sich der Thematik «Alter(n) und soziale Teilhabe im Quartier – was kann die Soziokulturelle Animation dazu beitragen?» zu widmen. Die Sicherstellung von Teilhabemöglichkeiten der älteren Bevölkerung ist zentraler denn je. Soziale Teilhabe als Handlungsfeld beinhaltet unteranderem die gesellschaftliche Zugehörigkeit, Partizipationsmöglichkeiten, Zugang zu Bildung und die Stabilisierung des sozialen Netzwerks. Hierbei wird soziale Teilhabe als Gegenbegriff von Einsamkeit verstanden. Es stellt sich heraus, dass in der Ermöglichung und Unterstützung von sozialer Teilhabe, das Quartier eine relevante Interventions- und Handlungsebene der Soziokulturellen Animation einnimmt. In diesem Kontext ist die Soziokulturelle Animation mit ihrer intermediären Funktion gefragt. Sie vermittelt zwischen der Lebenswelt von Individuen und den Teilsystemen der Gesellschaft. Inwiefern soziale Teilhabe von Menschen im dritten Alter im Quartier ermöglicht und unterstützt werden kann, wird anhand von Leitgedanken dargestellt.

description: Pre-trained language models have shown remarkable success in improving various downstream NLP tasks due to their ability to capture dependencies in textual data and generate natural responses. In this paper, we leverage the power of pre-trained language models for improving video-grounded dialogue, which is very challenging and involves complex features of different dynamics: (1) Video features which can extend across both spatial and temporal dimensions; and (2) Dialogue features which involve semantic dependencies over multiple dialogue turns. We propose a framework by extending GPT-2 models to tackle these challenges by formulating video-grounded dialogue tasks as a sequence-to-sequence task, combining both visual and textual representation into a structured sequence, and fine-tuning a large pre-trained GPT-2 network. Our framework allows fine-tuning language models to capture dependencies across multiple modalities over different levels of information: spatio-temporal level in video and token-sentence level in dialogue context. We achieve promising improvement on the Audio-Visual Scene-Aware Dialogues (AVSD) benchmark from DSTC7, which supports a potential direction in this line of research.

description: UNPUBLISHED COURSE WORKThis document is a term paper submitted for coursework at the University of Osnabrück. It has not been peer-reviewed and is intended as a summary of the state-of-the-art in Automatic Music Transcription in 2023. It is published here, in order to be referenced in an internal study project.Automatic Music Transcription (AMT) is a process that involves the transformation of musical audio into notated musical symbols. Our exploration has delineated the history of AMT and emphasized recent breakthroughs brought about by the application of transformer models and the increased availability of training data. Furthermore, it yielded that the challenge of transitioning from piano roll representations to traditional sheet music notation is currently under-examined. Our examination of the field’s current landscape has identified several promising directions for future research. Notably, these avenues include the development of benchmarks prioritizing perceptual authenticity, the expansion of datasets to enhance the comprehensiveness of training, and the infusion of insights from auditory cognition. Of particular interest is the integration of a musical language model into the transcription process, which holds the potential of improving AMT accuracy and versatility. The findings presented in this essay paint a coarse picture of the current state of AMT and offer informed suggestions for future investigations.

description: The possibility of unifying dark-matter and dark-energy has recently attracted considerable interest. In this so called quartessence scenario, a single component is responsible for both the clustering of matter and the accelerated expansion of the universe. A model archetype for such scenario is provided by the Chaplygin gas. Although this model is in agreement with the data on the expansion history, problems arise in the power spectrum of density fluctuations for adiabatic perturbations. In this contribution we consider other quartessence models and confirm that instabilities and oscillations in the matter power spectrum are a characteristic of more generic quartessence models, namely those with a convex equation of state. We show that, as in the Chaplygin case, this kind of problem can be solved by considering intrinsic non-adiabatic perturbations such that, as an initial condition, the perturbed fluid is gradient pressure free. We also discuss how the problems of adiabatic quartessence can be circumvented by other types of equations of state.

description: Bekenstein-Hawking Black hole thermodynamics should be corrected to incorporate quantum gravitational effects. Generalized Uncertainty Principle(GUP) provides a perturbational framework to perform such modifications. In this paper we consider the most general form of GUP to find black holes thermodynamics in microcanonical ensemble. Our calculation shows that there is no logarithmic pre-factor in perturbational expansion of entropy. This feature will solve part of controversies in literatures regarding existence or vanishing of this pre-factor.

description: In Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), 3D images usually reconstructed by performing a set of bidimensional (2D) analytical or iterative reconstructions can also be reconstructed using an iterative reconstruction algorithm involving a 3D projector. Accurate Monte Carlo (MC) simulations modeling all the physical effects that affect the imaging process can be used to estimate this projector. However, the accuracy of the projector is affected by the stochastic nature of MC simulations. In this paper, we study the accuracy of the reconstructed images with respect to the number of simulated histories used to estimate the MC projector. Furthermore, we study the impact of applying the bootstrapping technique when estimating the projector

Spectral Diversities of Gamma-ray Bursts in High Energy Bands: Hints from Turbulent Cascade

description: We statistically examine the gamma-ray burst (GRB) photon indices obtained by the Fermi-GBM and Fermi-LAT observations and compare the LAT GRB photon indices to the GBM GRB photon indices. We apply the jitter radiation to explain the GRB spectral diversities in the high-energy bands. In our model, the jitter radiative spectral index is determined by the spectral index of the turbulence. We classify GRBs into three classes depending on the shape of the GRB high-energy spectrum when we compare the GBM and LAT detections: the GRB spectrum is concave (GRBs turn out to be softer and are labeled as S-GRBs), the GRB spectrum is convex (GRBs turn out to be harder and are labeled as H-GRBs), and the GRBs have no strong spectral changes (labeled as N-GRBs). A universal Kolmogorov index 7/3 in the turbulent cascade is consistent with the photon index of the N-GRBs. The S-GRB spectra can be explained by the turbulent cascade due to the kinetic magnetic reconnection with the spectral index range of the turbulence from 8/3 to 3.0. The H-GRB spectra originate from the inverse turbulent cascade with the spectral index range of the turbulence from 2.0 to 3.5 that occurred during the large lengthscale magnetic reconnection. Thus, the GRB radiative spectra are diversified because the turbulent cascade modifies the turbulent energy spectrum. More observational samples are expected in the future to further identify our suggestions.
