description: In a dissipative system the time to reach an attractor is often influenced by the peculiarities of the model and in particular by the strength of the dissipation. In particular, as a dissipative model we consider the spin-orbit problem providing the dynamics of a triaxial satellite orbiting around a central planet and affected by tidal torques. The model is ruled by the oblateness parameter of the satellite, the orbital eccentricity, the dissipative parameter and the drift term. We devise a method which provides a reliable indication on the transient time which is needed to reach an attractor in the spin-orbit model; the method is based on an analytical result, precisely a suitable normal form construction. This method provides also information about the frequency of motion. A variant of such normal form used to parametrize invariant attractors provides a specific formula for the drift parameter, which in turn yields a constraint - which might be of interest in astronomical problems - between the oblateness of the satellite and its orbital eccentricity.

description: The European Commission has recently concluded the negotiations on the free trade agreement between the EU and Vietnam and the Comprehensive Trade and Investment Agreement between the EU and Canada. Amongst other issues, these agreements provide for comprehensive chapters on investment, including provisions on investor-state dispute settlement. In response to stark criticism from civil society, which perceives these mechanisms to be undemocratic, the Commission has seized the opportunity to reform the traditional arbitration-based system and replace it with a permanent court system. The mechanism of the Investment Court incorporates many innovative features and addresses some of the core criticism, including a rooster of appointed members, an appeals mechanism, and heightened ethical standards for members serving on the Court. However, in spite of these structural and procedural innovations, the Investment Court system goes not unchallenged, not least because it risks politicizing the dispute settlement process. Most importantly, it fails to effectively address constitutional requirements under EU law, and thus risks a negative opinion by the CJEU. The recent case law on the principle of autonomy suggests that the prior involvement of the CJEU in questions concerning the interpretation of EU law is a procedural prerequisite for the consistency of every international dispute settlement mechanism with the EU Treaties. And under the agreements with Vietnam and Canada, the assessment of EU law is an essential task of the Investment Court.

description: As quantum information science and technology (QIST) is becoming more prevalent and occurring not only in research labs but also in industry, many educators are considering how best to incorporate learning about quantum mechanics into various levels of education. Although much of the focus has been on quantum concepts in non-lab courses, current work in QIST has a substantial experimental component. Many instructors of undergraduate lab courses want to provide their students the opportunity to work with quantum experiments. One common way this is done is through a sequence of quantum optics experiments often referred to as the ``single-photon experiments.'' These experiments demonstrate fundamental quantum phenomena with equipment common to research labs; however, they are resource intensive and cannot be afforded by all institutions. It is therefore imperative to know what unique affordances these experiments provide to students. As a starting point, we surveyed and interviewed instructors who use the single-photon experiments in undergraduate courses, asking how and why they use the experiments. We describe the most commonly used experiments in both quantum and beyond-first-year lab courses, the prevalence of actions the students perform, and the learning goals, ranging from conceptual knowledge to lab skills to student affect. Finally, we present some strategies from these data demonstrating how instructors have addressed the common challenges of preparing students to work with conceptually and technically complex experiments and balancing the practice of technical skills with the completion of the experiments.

description: Recently an improved long-range model for electrolyte solutions was developed that is applicable from infinite dilution to pure salt. This paper tests this claim for the first time applying it to the calculation of liquid-liquid equilibria for mixtures of different ionic liquids (ILs) and water. The conventional Pitzer-Debye-Hückel (PDH) equation is compared to two of its new, thermodynamically consistent extensions. Both development stages, the extended PDH term and the modified-extended PDH, account for concentration dependent mixture properties instead of using solvent properties. The latter one additionally introduces a modified parameter of closest approach which improves the overall performance of the model for high electrolyte concentrations in systems with variable or low permittivities. To account for the short-range interactions, these long-range models are coupled with the UNIversal QUAsi-Chemical (UNIQUAC) model. Three modeling strategies were tested for the short-range contribution. First, the UNIQUAC parameters were adjusted to each system individually, then the binary interaction parameters were the same for each binary interaction type for all the systems and lastly a linear function of the carbon number was used where possible. For all systems and all modeling strategies tested, the predictive performance increased from PDH to E-PDH and then to ME-PDH. Overall, an introduction of concentration dependent properties and the modification added to ME-PDH enhanced modeling performance when describing these systems, showing the general applicability of this novel long-range term.

description: On 4 May 2016, the Court of Justice of the European Union delivered its judgment in the case Philip Morris. For the first time, the reasoning of the Court does not focus exclusively on internal market issues but, instead, includes an analysis on fundamental rights and the principles of proportionality and subsidiarity. Following the approach adopted by Advocate General Kokott in December 2015, the Court of Justice considers the Tobacco Products Directive to be in accordance with EU law. A new approach towards the Tobacco Products Directive seems to be emerging in which the protection of human health is increasingly taken into account. This judgment was delivered in the same period as the European institutions made public their decision not to renew the anti-smuggling deal with Philip Morris and the ICSID Arbitral Tribunal delivered its award of 8 July 2016 in the case Philip Morris and Abal Hermanos v. Oriental Republic of Uruguay, in which Uruguay won a complaint brought against its tobacco regulations. From this perspective, there seems to be a common understanding that effective measures have to be taken to combat tobacco consumption.

description: Exponential Runge-Kutta methods constitute efficient integrators for semilinear stiff problems. So far, however, explicit exponential Runge-Kutta methods are available in the literature up to order 4 only. The aim of this paper is to construct a fifth-order method. For this purpose, we make use of a novel approach to derive the stiff order conditions for high-order exponential methods. This allows us to obtain the conditions for a method of order 5 in an elegant way. After stating the conditions, we first show that there does not exist an explicit exponential Runge-Kutta method of order 5 with less than or equal to 6 stages. Then, we construct a fifth-order method with 8 stages and prove its convergence for semilinear parabolic problems. Finally, a numerical example is given that illustrates our convergence bound.

No significant excess over the Standard Model expectation is observed. The results are interpreted in simplified supersymmetric models featuring both $R$-parity conservation and $R$-parity violation, extending the exclusion limits from previous searches up to 1600 GeV for gluino masses and 750 GeV bottom and top squark masses in these scenarios.
Spectrum of colour sextet scalars in realistic SO(10) GUT

description: Incorporation of the standard model Yukawa interactions in a grand unified theory (GUT) often predicts varieties of new scalars that couple to the fermions and lead to some novel observational effects. We assess such a possibility for the colour sextet diquark scalars within the realistic renormalizable models based on $SO(10)$ GUT. The spectrum consists of five sextets: $Σ\sim (6,1,-\frac{2}{3})$, $S \sim (6,1,\frac{1}{3})$, $\overline{S}\sim(\overline{6},1,-\frac{1}{3})$, ${\cal S}\sim(6,1,\frac{4}{3})$ and $\mathbb{S}\sim(\overline{6},3,-\frac{1}{3})$. Computing explicitly their couplings with the quarks, we evaluate their contributions to the neutral meson-antimeson mixing and baryon number-violating processes like neutron-antineutron oscillation. The latter arises because of a $B-L$ violating trilinear coupling between the sextets which also contributes to some of the quartic couplings and perturbativity of the same leads to strong limits on the sextet masses. Using the values of the $B-L$ breaking scale and Yukawa couplings permitted in the realistic models, we derive constraints on the masses of these scalars. It is found that $Σ$ along with any of the remaining sextets cannot be lighter than the $B-L$ breaking scale, simultaneously. In the realm of realistic models, this implies no observable $n$-$\bar{n}$ oscillation in near future experiments. We also point out a possibility in which sub-GUT scale $Σ$ and a pair of $S$, allowed by the other constraints, can viably produce the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe.

description: In time-resolved pump-probe vibrational spectroscopy the internal stretch mode of polar molecules is utilized as a key observable to characterize the ultrafast dynamics of adsorbates on surfaces. The adsorbates non-adiabatic intermode couplings are the commonly accepted mechanisms behind the observed transient frequency shifts. Here, we study the CO/Pd(111) system with a robust theoretical framework that includes electron-hole pair excitations and electron-mediated coupling between the vibrational modes. A mechanism is revealed that screens the electron-phonon interaction and originates a blueshift under ultrafast non-equilibrium conditions. The results are explained in terms of the abrupt change in the density of states around the Fermi level, and are instrumental for understanding dynamics at multi-component surfaces involving localized and standard $s$ or $p$ states.

description: The smallest set of vertices needed to differentiate or categorize every other vertex in a graph is referred to as the graph's metric dimension. Finding the class of graphs for a particular given metric dimension is an NP-hard problem. This concept has applications in many different domains, including graph theory, network architecture, and facility location problems. A graph $G$ with order $n$ is known as a Toeplitz graph over the subset $S$ of consecutive collections of integers from one to $n$, and two vertices will be adjacent to each other if their absolute difference is a member of $S$. A graph $G(\mathbb{Z}_{n})$ is called a zero-divisor graph over the zero divisors of a commutative ring $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$, in which two vertices will be adjacent to each other if their product will leave the remainder zero under modulo $n$. Since the local fractional metric dimension problem is NP-hard, it is computationally difficult to identify an optimal solution or to precisely determine the minimal size of a local resolving set; in the worst case, the process takes exponential time. Different upper bound sequences of local fractional metric dimension are suggested in this article, along with a comparison analysis for certain families of Toeplitz and zero-divisor graphs. Furthermore, we note that the analyzed local fractional metric dimension upper bounds fall into three metric families: constant, limited, and unbounded.

description: Measurements of the branching ratios of $B \to D^{(*)}τ\barν/B \to D^{(*)}\ell\barν$ and $B_c\to J/ψ\, τ\barν/B_c\to J/ψ\, \ell\barν$ by the BaBar, Belle and LHCb collaborations consistently point towards an abundance of taus compared to channels with light leptons. However, the ratio $Λ_b \toΛ_c τ\barν/Λ_b \toΛ_c \ell\barν$ shows a relative deficit in taus. In this paper, we critically address whether data still points towards a coherent pattern of deviations, in particular in light of the sum rule relating these decays in a model-independent way. We find that no common new physics explanation of all ratios is possible (within $2σ$ or $1.5σ$, depending on the ${\cal R}(Λ_c)$ normalization to light lepton channels). While this inconsistency could be a statistical fluctuation, further measurements are required in order to converge to a coherent pattern of experimental results.

description: {Introduction: } Dementia is a neurological disorder associated with aging that can cause a loss of cognitive functions, impacting daily life. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 50--70\% of cases, while frontotemporal dementia (FTD) affects social skills and personality. Electroencephalography (EEG) provides an effective tool to study the effects of AD on the brain. {Methods: } In this study, we propose to use shallow neural networks applied to two sets of features: spectral-temporal and functional connectivity using four methods. We compare three supervised machine learning techniques to the CNN models to classify EEG signals of AD / FTD and control cases. We also evaluate different measures of functional connectivity from common EEG frequency bands considering multiple thresholds. {Results and Discussion: } Results showed that the shallow CNN-based models achieved the highest accuracy of 94.54\% with AEC in test dataset when considering all connections, outperforming conventional methods and providing potentially an additional early dementia diagnosis tool. \url{https://doi.org/10.3389%2Ffneur.2023.1270405}

description: Numerous diseases cause severe economic loss in the apple production-based industry. Early disease identification in apple leaves can help to stop the spread of infections and provide better productivity. Therefore, it is crucial to study the identification and classification of different apple foliar diseases. Various traditional machine learning and deep learning methods have addressed and investigated this issue. However, it is still challenging to classify these diseases because of their complex background, variation in the diseased spot in the images, and the presence of several symptoms of multiple diseases on the same leaf. This paper proposes a novel transfer learning-based stacked ensemble architecture named MCFFA-Net, which is composed of three pre-trained architectures named MobileNetV2, DenseNet201, and InceptionResNetV2 as backbone networks. We also propose a novel multi-scale dilated residual convolution module to capture multi-scale contextual information with several dilated receptive fields from the extracted features. Channel-based attention mechanism is provided through squeeze and excitation networks to make the MCFFA-Net focused on the relevant information in the multi-receptive fields. The proposed MCFFA-Net achieves a classification accuracy of 90.86%.

description: The academic debate on the international responsibility of the EU has flourished in re-cent years. Much ink has been spilled on the purported unsuitability to the EU of the rules on the responsibility of international organisations as codified by the International Law Commission (ILC). These rules are often criticised for having failed to take into due account the specific characteristics of a sui generis legal actor such as the EU. This friction becomes particularly acute when the EU and the Member States enter into an international agreement that includes a dispute settlement mechanism (IDS). In order to settle a dispute, an IDS would have to decide who acts as respondent and, as a consequence, bears international responsibility. Such decision may, in turn, directly or indirectly affect the autonomy of the EU legal order as defined by the case-law of the European Court of Justice over the years. For this reason, the EU has been attempting to devise tailor-made solutions aimed at preventing that an IDS established by an agreement to which it is a party along-side its Member States may make decisions on questions that would endanger the said autonomy. The aim of this article is to analyse the mechanism concerning the determination of the respond-ent party laid down in EU investment agreements (IAs) for the settlement of Investor-State dis-putes. It is argued that such determination amounts to an implicit acknowledgment of the interna-tional responsibility vis-à-vis the claimant on the part of the designated party. Furthermore, the ar-ticle points out that EU IAs, with their internalisation of issues concerning international responsibil-ity, seem to represent an excellent illustration of how IDS to which the EU is a party should be de-vised, and that the solution therein adopted should become EU's standard position when it comes to participating to IDS. To this end, the development of a constant and consistent practice may eventually give rise to the long-awaited "special rule" of International Law.

description: In this paper, we investigate when symbolic and ordinary powers of the parity binomial edge ideal of a graph fail to be equal. It turns out that if $\mathcal{I}_{G}$ is the parity binomial edge ideal of a graph $G$, then in each of the following cases the symbolic power $\mathcal{I}_{G}^{(t)}$ and the ordinary power $\mathcal{I}_{G}^t$ are not equal for some $t$: (i) the clique number of $G$ is greater than 3; (ii) $G$ has a net; or (iii) $G$ has a PT as an induced subgraph.

description: The intersections between recognition and enforcement of foreign decisions in civil and commercial matters and protection of fundamental rights have been a subject of growing interest in the recent case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. The judgment of the Grand Chamber in Avotiņš v. Latvia is especially relevant, insofar as it concerns the system of mutual recognition of decisions established under EU law and its compatibility with Art. 6 of the European Convention. Even though the CJEU has recognised that mutual recognition of judgments between EU Member States cannot hamper the right to a fair trial, the judgment in Avotiņš v. Latvia calls for a greater attention to the observance of the rights of defence. The European Court points out the necessity of a control of the foreign judgment by the courts of the requested State in order to prevent violations of fundamental rights protected by the European Convention. The principles laid down in the judgment are thus likely to set some limits to the existing freedom of circulation of judgments enacted by EU acts adopted on the basis of art. 81 TFEU.

description: Excitons in thin layers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides are highly subject to the strongly modified Coulomb electron-hole interaction in these materials. Therefore, they do not follow the model system of a two-dimensional hydrogen atom. We investigate experimentally and theoretically excitonic properties in both the monolayer (ML) and the bilayer (BL) of MoSe$_2$ encapsulated in hexagonal BN. The measured magnetic field evolutions of the reflectance contrast spectra of the MoSe$_2$ ML and BL allow us to determine $g$-factors of intralayer A and B excitons, as well as the $g$-factor of the interlayer exciton. We explain the dependence of $g$-factors on the number of layers and excitation state using first principles calculations. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the experimentally measured ladder of excitonic $s$ states in the ML can be reproduced using the $\mathbf{k\cdot p}$ approach with the Rytova-Keldysh potential that describes the electron-hole interaction. In contrast, the analogous calculation for the BL case requires taking into account the out-of-plane dielectric response of the MoSe$_2$ BL.

description: The mathematical model describing the dynamics of closed contact heating which involves vaporization of the metal when instantaneous explosion of micro-asperity occurs is presented through a Stefan type problem. The temperature field for metallic vaporization zone is introduced as heat resistance that decreases linearity. Temperature fields for liquid and solid phases of the metal described by spherical heat equations with nonlinear thermal coefficients and Joule heat source have to be determined as well as the free boundaries. Joule heating component depends on space and time variable when alternating current is considered. Solution method of the problem based on similarity variable transformation is applied which enables us to reduce the problem to an ordinary differential equations and nonlinear integral equations. Existence and uniqueness of the integral equations are proved by using fixed point theorem in Banach space.

description: Supersymmetry and supergravity were invented in the 1970s to solve fundamental problems in high-energy physics. Even though neither of these ideas has yet been confirmed in high-energy and cosmology experiments, they have been beneficial in constructing numerous theoretical models, including superstring theory. Despite the absence of supersymmetry in particle physics, it can potentially emerge in exotic phases of strongly correlated condensed matter systems. In this paper, we propose a supergravity model that describes the low-energy physics of the Haldane-Rezayi state, a gapless quantum Hall state that occurs in a half-filled Landau level. We show that the corresponding edge modes of the Haldane-Rezayi state and the Girvin-MacDonald-Platzman algebra appear naturally in the supergravity model. Finally, we substantiate our theoretical findings with numerical exact diagonalization calculations that support the appearance of the emergent graviton and gravitino excitations in the Haldane-Rezayi state.

description: In its decision of 30 August 2016, the European Commission found that Ireland granted undue tax benefits to Apple and that the Member State is under the obligation to recover the illegal aids from the beneficiary. The decision is connected to a recent major activity of the Commission directed at investigating the tax ruling practices of Member States, in which the European Commission has heavily relied on the OECD guidelines on transfer pricing. This seems to be due to the fact that the Commission founds it difficult to elaborate a fully "European" notion of fiscal State aid.

description: We present an experimental and theoretical study of the angle- and polarization-dependent light extinction in random arrays of polydisperse semiconductor nanowires epitaxially grown on substrates. The specular reflectance is described by averaging the scattering properties of individual nanowires obtained from Lorenz-Mie theory over the diameter distribution. The complex effective refractive index describing the propagation and attenuation of the coherent beam scattered in forward direction is determined in the independent scattering approximation and used to calculate the angle- and polarization-dependent reflectance. Our measurements demonstrate the highly anisotropic scattering in ensembles of aligned nanowires.

description: We propose a modification of Wigner Distribution Deconvolution (WDD) to support live processing ptychography. Live processing allows to reconstruct and display the specimen transfer function gradually while diffraction patterns are acquired. For this purpose we reformulate WDD and apply a dimensionality reduction technique that reduces memory consumption and increases processing speed. We show numerically that this approach maintains the reconstruction quality of specimen transfer functions as well as reduces computational complexity during acquisition processes. Although we only present the reconstruction for Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) datasets, in general, the live processing algorithm we present in this paper can be applied to real-time ptychographic reconstruction for different fields of application.
Exact Rotational Space-time Transformations, Davies-Jennison Experiments and Limiting Lorentz-Poincaré Invariance

description: Jennison deduced from the rotational experiments that a rotating radius $r_r$ measured by the rotating observer is contracted by $r_r = r(1-\om^2 r^2/c^2)^{1/2}$, compared with the radius $r$ measured in an inertial frame. This conclusion differs from the result based on Lorentz transformations. Since rotational frames are not equivalent to inertial frames, we analyze the rotational experiments by using the exact rotational space-time transformations rather than the Lorentz transformations. We derive exact rotational transformations on the basis of the principle of limiting Lorentz-Poincaré invariance. The exact rotational transformations form a pseudo-group rather than the usual Lie group. They support Jennison's contraction of a rotating radius and are consistent with two Davies-Jennison experiments. We also suggest new experimental tests for the exact rotational transformations.
