description: The structure of the superconducting order parameter in the iron-pnictide superconductor BaFe$_2$(As$_{0.67}$P$_{0.33}$)$_2$ ($T_c=31$\,K) with line nodes is studied by the angle-resolved thermal conductivity measurements in a magnetic field rotated within the basal plane. We find that the thermal conductivity displays distinct fourfold oscillations with minima when the field is directed at $\pm45^\circ$ with respect to the tetragonal a-axis. We discuss possible gap structures that can account for the data, and conclude that the observed results are most consistent with the closed nodal loops located at the flat parts of the electron Fermi surface with high Fermi velocity.

description: Riparian ecosystems are highly dynamic and are subject to hydrogeomorphological processes. In Europe, the lower Allier River (France) is one of the last remaining meandering rivers with laterally dynamic sections. For this study, we developed an original method to analyse the vegetation assemblages and succession processes. The analysis includes both spatial and temporal evolution in order to evaluate the shifting paradigm of habitat mosaic at the study site over a 60-year period. On the long-term, floods with low recurrence intervals tend to be important for small scale habitat changes, whereas major flood events lead to major habitat changes. Flood events did not change the overall habitat composition of the active tract but their spatial distribution. The lack of major hydrogeomorphological disturbance observed during the last two decades, however, led to a higher stability of floodplain ecotopes.

description: We study the non-equilibrium relaxation kinetics of interacting magnetic flux lines in disordered type-II superconductors at low temperatures by means of a three-dimensional elastic line model and Monte Carlo simulations. Investigating the vortex density and height autocorrelation functions as well as the flux line mean-square displacement, we observe the emergence of glassy dynamics, caused by the competing effects of vortex pinning due to point defects and long-range repulsive interactions between the flux lines. Our systematic numerical study allows us to carefully disentangle the associated different relaxation mechanisms, and to assess their relative impact on the kinetics of vortex matter at low temperatures.

description: HPC storage systems have evolved from fairly simple systems attached to a single cluster to site-wide complex
 infrastructures supporting migration of data between tiers of different performance characteristics and I/O
 acceleration. Exascale systems and AI workloads will continue this trend by placing even greater demands on
 speedy access to data. This report summarises the history of this development and examines some of the
 technologies that are building blocks of near-future storage systems, both hardware and the software required to
 manage the large amounts of data.

description: Galaxy clusters are usually detected in blind optical surveys via suitable filtering methods. We present an optimal matched filter which maximizes their signal-to-noise ratio by taking advantage of the knowledge we have of their intrinsic physical properties and of the data noise properties. In this paper we restrict our application to galaxy magnitudes, positions and photometric redshifts if available, and we also apply the filter separately to weak lensing data. The method is suitable to be naturally extended to a multi-band approach which could include not only additional optical bands but also observables with different nature such as X-rays. For each detection, the filter provides its significance, an estimate for the richness and for the redshift even if photo-z are not given. The provided analytical error estimate is tested against numerical simulations. We finally apply our method to the COSMOS field and compare the results with previous cluster detections obtained with different methods. Our catalogue contains 27 galaxy clusters with minimal threshold at 3-sigma level including both optical and weak-lensing information.

description: Ist es unter den Vorzeichen einer zunehmenden Ökonomisierung, Quantifizierung und Valorisierung, die mittlerweile auch die Wissenschaft erfasst und den Wettbewerb - auch zwischen Teildisziplinen und Sektionen - weiter verschärft hat, überhaupt noch möglich, zu einer Überwindung vorherrschender fachspezifischer, sektionaler Grenzziehungen zu gelangen? Der Beitrag liefert hierzu eine paradoxe Intervention. Er bietet zunächst einen Blick zurück auf die Genese von Sektionen, die bereits aufgrund ihrer Namensgebung dem Forschungsfeld "Geschlecht, Arbeit, Organisation" zuzuordnen sind. Es folgt eine vorläufige Bilanz grenzüberschreitender Forschungsdialoge. Da diese bis heute offenbar nur bedingt Einfluss auf den Mainstream hatten, stellt sich die Frage, ob nicht besser gleich über Institutionalisierungsprozesse, also die Bildung einer neuen, eigenständigen Sektion mit dem Schwerpunkt "Geschlecht, Arbeit, Organisation" nachgedacht werden sollte. Denn soll es zukünftig nicht bei "flüchtigen" Begegnungen zwischen den Sektionen und zufälligen Dialogen zur Grenzüberwindung bleiben, wird es nicht ohne Institutionalisierungsprozesse gehen.

Dieser Beitrag wirft die Frage auf, wie sich zentrale Wandlungstendenzen in den Rahmenbedingungen universitärer Lehre, vor allem durch den Qualitätspakt Lehre (QPL), im Governance-Regime von Hochschulen auswirken. Ausgehend von der These, dass der QPL zu nicht-intendierten Folgen auf Universität und Lehre führt, werden am Beispiel des Lehrkonzepts 'Forschendes Lernen' empirische Befunde diskutiert. Diese lassen Parallelen zu den Debatten einer Ökonomisierung der Forschung erkennen.

description: We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of the frustrated triangular-lattice antiferromagnets Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$ and Cs$_2$CuBr$_4$ in the framework of density functional theory. Analysis of the exchange couplings J and J' using the available X-ray structural data corroborates the values obtained from experimental results for Cs$_2$CuBr$_4$ but not for Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$. In order to understand this discrepancy, we perform a detailed study of the effect of structural optimization on the exchange couplings of Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$ employing different exchange-correlation functionals. We find that the exchange couplings depend on rather subtle details of the structural optimization and that only when the insulating state (mediated through spin polarization) is present in the structural optimization, we do have good agreement between the calculated and the experimentally determined exchange couplings. Finally, we discuss the effect of interlayer couplings as well as longer-ranged couplings in both systems.

For particular charge vectors, we give stabilisation equations for the scalars, analogous to the BPS case, describing full known solutions. Based on this, we propose a generic ansatz for the stabilisation equations, which surprisingly includes ratios of harmonic functions.

Modelling the high mass accretion rate spectra of GX 339-4: Black hole spin from reflection?

description: We extract all the XMM-Newton EPIC pn burst mode spectra of GX 339-4, together with simultaneous/contemporaneous RXTE data. These include three disc dominated and two soft intermediate spectra, and the combination of broad bandpass/moderate spectral resolution gives some of the best data on these bright soft states in black hole binaries. The disc dominated spectra span a factor three in luminosity, and all show that the disc emission is broader than the simplest multicolour disc model. This is consistent with the expected relativistic smearing and changing colour temperature correction produced by atomic features in the newest disc models. However, these models do not match the data at the 5 per cent level as the predicted atomic features are not present in the data, perhaps indicating that irradiation is important even when the high energy tail is weak. Whatever the reason, this means that the data have smaller errors than the best physical disc models, forcing use of more phenomenological models for the disc emission. We use these for the soft intermediate state data, where previous analysis using a simple disc continuum found an extremely broad residual, identified as the red wing of the iron line from reflection around a highly spinning black hole. However, the iron line energy is close to where the disc and tail have equal fluxes, so using a broader disc continuum changes the residual 'iron line' profile dramatically. With a broader disc continuum model, the inferred line is formed outside of 30 ${\rm{R_g}}$, so cannot constrain black hole spin. We caution that a robust determination of black hole spin from the iron line profile is very difficult where the disc makes a significant contribution at the iron line energy i.e. in most bright black hole states.

description: Two-electron correlated spectra of non-sequential double ionization below laser-intensity threshold are known to exhibit back-to-back scattering of the electrons, viz., the anticorrelation of the electrons. Currently, the widely accepted interpretation of the anticorrelation is recollision-induced excitation of the ion plus subsequent field ionization of the second electron. We argue that another mechanism, namely simultaneous electron emission, when the time of return of the rescattered electron is equal to the time of liberation of the bounded electron (the ion has no time for excitation), can also explain the anticorrelation of the electrons in the deep below laser-intensity threshold regime. Our conclusion is based on the results of the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a model system of two one-dimensional electrons as well as an adiabatic analytic model that allows for a closed-form solution.

description: Superconductors are classified by their pairing mechanism and the coupling strength, measured as the ratio of the energy gap to the critical temperature, Tc. We present an extensive comparison of the gap ratios among many single- and multiband superconductors from simple metals to high-Tc cuprates and iron pnictides. Contrary to the recently suggested universality of this ratio in Fe-based superconductors, we find that the coupling in pnictides ranges from weak, near the BCS limit, to strong, as in cuprates, bridging the gap between these two extremes. Moreover, for Fe- and Cu-based materials, our analysis reveals a universal correlation between the gap ratio and Tc, which is not found in conventional superconductors and therefore supports a common unconventional pairing mechanism in both families. An important consequence of this result for ferropnictides is that the separation in energy between the excitonic spin-resonance mode and the particle-hole continuum, which determines the resonance damping, no longer appears independent of Tc.

On deriving and canceling ignorance
Creators: name: Weerasooriya, Tharanga
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: The goals of this paper are two. First, it argues for a distribution requirement (DR: ♦ ¬ p∧ ♦ ¬ q, derived with respect to the worlds epistemically accessible to a speaker) to account for the ignorance implicatures (IIs) of -hari and -do marked disjunctions and indefinites in Sinhala (Indo Aryan, Sri Lanka). Second, it claims that the choice of non/cancelation of these IIs does not depend on whether they are conversational or not, but rather on the differences in the positive polarity (PP) behavior (weak vs. strong: cf. Spector, 2014) of the two particles. It casts its proposal in the grammatical approach to derivation of implicatures (cf. Fox, 2007; Chierchia et al., 2012; Meyer, 2013; Nicolae, 2017; a.m.o.).

description: Mit der fortschreitenden Alterung der Gesellschaft entstehen neue Herausforderungen für die Versorgung älterer Menschen. Ohne einen vermehrten Einsatz von integrierten Versorgungsnetzen in Kombination mit Bürgerengagement und modernen Assitenztechnologien wird die Betreuung von Hilfs- und Pflegebedürftigen kaum möglich sein. Da die mit Abstand größte Zahl Älterer auch im hohen Alter in der eigenen Wohnimmobilie verbleilen möchte, müssen auf lokaler Ebene - im städtischen Quartier oder in ländlichen Gemeinschaften - neuen Versorgungsinfrastrukturen aufgebaut werden. Allerdings erschwert die ausgeprägte institutionelle Segmentierung des deutschen Sozialstaats eine sektorenübergreifende Aufgabenbewältigung. Hier sind alle tangierten Organisationen im Feld des Wohnens und der Pflege im Alter aufgefordert, der Gefahr des "Silodenkens" aktiv zu begegnen und es bilden sich auch vereinzelt neue Kooperationsformen zwischen verschiedenen Akteuren heraus. Es entwickelt sich ein hybrider Wohlfahrtsmix, zu dem zunehmend auch digitale Netzwerke zählen.

Testing the distribution of pair-list questions with quantifiers

Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: Questions with quantifiers such as ‘Which book did every student read?’ can receive a pair-list reading, but the availability of this reading depends on the quantifier, as well as the environment of the question (matrix or embedded under various predicates), with possible interactions between these factors. The details of these interactions have been a subject of debate in the literature. We tested the acceptability of pair-list readings with 5 quantifiers (most, two, no, every, and fewer than three) in 4 different environments (matrix, find out, be certain, and wonder). Our results confirm that the availability of pair-list interpretations for questions with quantifiers depends heavily on both the quantifier and the environment in which the question appears, and more specifically that there is a qualitative divide between responsive and rogative predicates, not between intensional and extensional predicates.

The Neglected Toll of D.C.’s Transformation Away From “Chocolate City” _________________________ Examining the socio-emotional effects of D.C.’s rising gentrification and displacement on Black residents from the start of then-Mayor Anthony Williams’ term in January 1999 through February 2022.

description: At the end of the 20th century, Washington, D.C. was known as “Chocolate City” for being America’s first majority-Black city and its bustling Black nightlife. However, beginning especially with Mayor Anthony Williams’ “Envisioning a Future Washington” plan in 1999, the nation’s capital became “Cappuccino City”—a rapidly gentrifying locale where white newcomers were increasingly displacing longtime Black residents. While the existing literature captured the economic implications of D.C.’s gentrification through statistics, it fell short in describing its qualitative, socio-emotional effects on Black residents. Here, I have attempted to fill this gap, answering the question: what were gentrification’s social and emotional effects on D.C.’s Black residents from 1999-2022? To do this, I utilized several methods. These entailed finding economic data to contextualize the issue, using my connections in the community to interview 17 individuals who experienced or oversaw gentrification in the District, and issuing an 11-question survey to my 12 Black interviewees that more quantifiably measured their responses to how welcomed, safe, and accounted for they felt in their neighborhoods. From this research, I found that D.C.’s gentrification was a complicated issue both because of the unique role of the federal government in advancing it and residents’ varying perspectives around the issue’s effects. I also found that gentrification placed a tremendous emotional burden on Black residents through rising living costs, an “us vs. them” dynamic with white residents, unresponsive elected officials, and overpolicing. Afterwards, I made four policy recommendations: build affordable recreational centers, establish more affordable housing, utilize alternative public safety measures, and provide more economic stimulus for D.C.’s Black entrepreneurs. I hope that this project sheds light on the concerns of D.C.’s Black residents and ultimately moves city officials to enact policy change.

Another branch of exact solutions exists, corresponding to Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetimes where the curvature scale of de Sitter space is proportional to the mass squared of the graviton.

A variable force analysis of positive polarity neg-raising modals
Creators: name: Staniszweski, Frank
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: I develop a new analysis of “weak necessity” modals should and supposed to that is motivated by novel observations of extra-weak meanings in some environments. I argue that this evidence of weak readings suggests that these modal verbs exhibit a type of variable force. Sentences with weak necessity modals express universal force in positive sentences and existential force under negation. The analysis will build on an analogy with free choice disjunction that assumes a basic weak meaning that strengthens in upward-entailing environments (Fox, 2007; Bassi and Bar-Lev, 2016). I hypothesize that the precise distribution of the strengthened readings is governed by the polarity-sensitive nature of the modals (cf. Iatridou and Zeijlstra, 2013; Homer, 2015). In particular, I argue that the polarity sensitivity of the modals is the result of the association of their domains with a covert even (cf. Lahiri, 1995; Crniˇc, 2014, 2019 for NPI any). This hypothesis makes intricate predictions about the range of readings that should be observed in various logical environments that I show to be borne out. I also argue that the analysis provides a natural link between neg-raising and weak necessity.

Controllable and scalable thermal sublimation thinning of black phosphorus
Creators: name: Luo, Weijun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Two-dimensional lamellar black phosphorus (BP) has emerged as a promising semiconductor for next generation integrated circuits (IC) and photonics, especially in flexible and ultra-thin electronic and photonic devices. With layer numbers of > 20 to 1, the electronic energy band gap of BP covers the range from 0.3 (bulk) to 2 eV (single-layer), which can fill the gap between graphene and transition metal di-chalcogenides (TMDCS). It is necessary to prepare uniform, large scale and crystalline few-layer BP for industry applications. We investigated thinning rates of BP at different temperatures so that the users can control the time of heating and have the ability to monitor the thickness of BP during heating processes. Identification of crystallographic orientation (CO) of BP by Raman Spectroscopy is applied, which enables the Raman intensity ratios between BP and substrates to be only thickness-dependent. This ratio can be used as a non-contact optical method to determine the actual thickness of BP during preparation, which is crucial to determine the end point of the thinning process. In this thesis work, we first reported the layer-by-layer sublimation of BP below 600 K, which was observed by optical color changes; secondly, we investigated the thinning rates of BP at 500 K and 550 K to be 0.2 nm / min 500 K and 1.5 nm / min at 550 K; thirdly, we investigated the effective determination of CO of BP and underlying Si by polarized Raman Spectroscopy with excitation wavelength of 441.6 nm; fourthly, we investigated the thickness-dependent Raman peak intensity ratio Si / A2g at a fixed CO, which can be used as an indicator of the thickness of BP; lastly, we presented the successful and repeatable preparation of large crystalline 2 to 4 -layer BP. This work is the first study available to use the sublimation thinning as a controllable method to prepare large, uniform and crystalline BP down to 2-4 atomic layers. This work is the first study available on developing an all-Raman method in identifying the CO of BP, determining the in-situ and ex-situ thickness and confirming the crystallinity and uniformity of prepared BP.
M-modifiers, attenuation and polarity sensitivity

Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: Moderate-degree modifiers (M-modifiers) such as fairly, somewhat, rather and kind of and their cross-linguistic counterparts have received relatively little attention in the formal semantics literature. The present paper seeks to address this gap by pursuing three goals: first, to profile the distribution and interpretation of M-modifiers in English; second, to propose semantic analyses for individual M-modifiers; and finally, to provide an account of the consistent status of M-modifiers as positive polarity items, which we argue derives from competition with simpler unmodified forms. These results provide evidence that there are multiple compositional routes to (apparent) degree modification, as well as other sources of polarity sensitivity beyond those responsible for the behavior of better-studied items such as any and ever.

A semantics for complement fulfilling conditionals with 'glad'
Creators: name: Sode, Frank
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: This paper argues that complement fulfilling conditionals with glad are true arguments of the corresponding predicates. For this to be possible, certain standard assumptions about glad have to be revised. I argue that (a) glad is not a factive predicate by itself; and (b) that it doesn’t take propositions as its semantic argument. The main idea is based on an idea implicit in Heim (1992) that can be paraphrased as follows: “There is a hidden ‘because’-clause in every factive desire report”. The resulting picture allows for a unified account of complement fulfilling and hidden conditionals in desire reports.

Contrary to previous descriptions by Davis (1973), Harris (1981), Watanabe (2003), and Huijsmans et al. (2018), we argue that determiners in ʔayʔaǰuθəm encode evidentiality (‘current direct evidence’ vs. ‘previous direct evidence’ vs. ‘evidence-neutral’). To account for this pattern, we argue that the determiners encode relations between situations, following work by Speas (2010) and Kalsang et al. (2013). This paper adds to the small but growing body of evidence that evidential notions can be expressed in the nominal domain (Hanks 2009; Gutiérrez & Matthewson 2012; Gutiérrez 2015; Rose 2017; Gambarage & Matthewson 2019). This in turn provides support for the existence of semantic atoms or ‘building blocks’ which recur in different parts of the syntactic structure (Hale 1986; von Fintel & Matthewson 2008).

description: In Gemeinschaftssemantiken und konkret gelebter Gemeinschaftlichkeit drücken sich vielfältige Formen und Praktiken kollektiver Lebensführung aus. Diese gilt es mikrosoziologisch in den Blick zu nehmen, um über ein Verstehen der Prozesse interindividueller Bezugnahme sowie gemeinschaftlich-orientierter Aushandlung Zugang zum Forschungsgegenstand zu erhalten. Die hierfür zu untersuchenden Gemeinschaftsphänomene präsentieren sich in einem Spektrum von temporären Erlebnis- bis zu intentionalen Lebensgemeinschaften. Ob diese selbsternannten oder zugeschriebenen Gemeinschaftsformen überhaupt als Gemeinschaft zu bezeichnen sind, ist fraglich. Durch den inflationären Gebrauch des Gemeinschaftsbegriffs wird nämlich verdeckt, was Gemeinschaft - zumindest aus praxis- und sozialisationstheoretischer Perspektive - letztlich ausmacht: eine aufeinander bezogene Handlungspraxis, die durch ko-konstruktive und kooperative Aushandlungsprozesse erst hergestellt wird, sich also erst konkret im gemeinsamen Tun konstituiert.

description: Because of its many desirable properties, such as its ability to control effects and thus potentially disastrous race conditions, functional programming offers a viable approach to programming modern multicore computers. This has led to the development of several parallel functional languages, typically based on dialects of ML and Haskell. However, these languages have traditionally underperformed compared to procedural languages such as C and Java. The primary reason for this underperformance has been the lack of scalable memory management techniques that can match the increased demand of memory in parallel execution. Building on a long line of work on parallel memory management, this thesis proposes provably efficient techniques for managing memory in parallel functional programs. The key idea behind our techniques is to coschedule the parallel computation with its data, enabling the memory manager to exploit the disentanglement hypothesis—the idea that parallel tasks of a program largely execute independently and avoid side-effecting data that may be accessed by others–for efficiency. We implement these techniques in the MPL compiler for parallel ML, and our experimental results show that the techniques can marry the safety benefits of functional programming with performance.

description: We examine the scattering of acoustic p-mode waves from a thin magnetic fibril embedded in a gravitationally stratified atmosphere. The scattering is mediated through the excitation of slow sausage waves on the magnetic tube, and only the scattering of the monopole component of the wavefield is considered. Since such tube waves are not confined by the acoustic cavity and may freely propagate along the field lines removing energy from the acoustic wavefield, the excitation of fibril oscillations is a source of acoustic wave absorption as well as scattering. We compute the mode mixing that is achieved and the absorption coefficients and phase shifts. We find that for thin tubes the mode mixing is weak and the absorption coefficient is small and is a smooth function of frequency over the physically relevant band of observed frequencies. The prominent absorption resonances seen in previous studies of unstratified tubes are absent. Despite the relatively small absorption, the phase shift induced can be surprisingly large, reaching values as high as 15 degree for f modes. Further, the phase shift can be positive or negative depending on the incident mode order and the frequency.

The Explicit Derivation of QED Trace Anomaly in Symmetry-Preserving Loop Regularization at One Loop Level

description: The QED trace anomaly is calculated at one-loop level based on the loop regularization method which is realized in 4-dimensional spacetime and preserves gauge symmetry and Poincare symmetry in spite of the introduction of two mass scales, namely the ultraviolet (UV) cut-off $M_c$ and infrared (IR) cut-off $μ_s$. It is shown that the dilation Ward identity which relates the three-point diagrams with the vacuum polarization diagrams gets the standard form of trace anomaly through quantum corrections in taking the consistent limit $M_c\to \infty$ and $μ_s = 0$ which recovers the original integrals. This explicitly demonstrates that the loop regularization method is indeed a self-consistent regularization scheme which is applicable to the calculations not only for the chiral anomaly but also for the trace anomaly, at least at one-loop level. It is also seen that the consistency conditions which relates the tensor-type and scalar-type irreducible loop integrals (ILIs) are crucial for obtaining a consistent result. As a comparison, we also present the one-loop calculations by using the usual Pauli-Villars regularization and the dimensional regularization.

Zero or minimum degree? Rethinking minimum gradable adjectives
Creators: name: Qing, Ciyang
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: This paper examines the class of minimum gradable adjectives (minimum GAs), the standards of whose positive forms are traditionally characterized in terms of minimum degrees. Using profitable as a case study, I argue that their standards are better characterized using zero degrees, which may not be minimum degrees. Moreover, I show that this zero-standard interpretation cannot be derived by existing approaches, and propose that it is derived by a new compositional mechanism, which also derives the truth conditions of plain comparatives and is different from the one that derives the relative-standard interpretation of a positive form.

description: In Bezug auf die in den 2000er Jahren durch den sogenannten Nationalsozialistischen Untergrund (NSU) begangenen Morde an Migranten stellt sich aus soziologischer Perspektive die Frage, warum eine breitere gesellschaftliche Öffentlichkeit diese rassistischen Morde nicht als solche erkennen konnte bzw. warum die wenigen, die Rassismus als Tatmotiv öffentlich benannten, kein Gehör fanden und warum noch immer kein nennenswerter gesellschaftlicher Druck entstanden ist, um diese Taten aufzuklären. Dieser Frage geht der Beitrag nach, indem aus einer Perspektive der Migrationsregimeanalyse Migrationspolitiken der beginnenden 2000er Jahre rekonstruiert werden. Dabei wird deutlich, dass in dieser Zeit einerseits die langjährigen Kämpfe der Migration politische und repräsentative Erfolge zeitigen, dass diesen aber durchgehend mit Skandalisierungen der Tatsache der Migration und dem Versuch, migrationsgesellschaftliche Öffnungen wieder einzuschränken, begegnet wird, wobei insbesondere Muslime und Migrant_innen aus der Türkei eine Problematisierung erfahren. Dies führte dazu, dass männliche Migranten aus der Türkei als Täter, nicht aber als Oper rassistischer Gewalt wahrgenommen werden konnten.

description: This report gives an overview of the Edge Computing paradigm and its applications. Indeed, with the advent
 of the Internet of Things (IoT) era, many electronic devices and sensors produce a vast volume of data which
 should be processed in a timely manner and this novel computing model is nowadays seen as a pertinent
 answer to this open challenge. This report thus explains why Edge Computing is needed and how the edge
 architecture is typically structured. It further presents the technologies that help this cutting-edge model to
 function properly. Since Edge Computing involves a heterogeneous architecture, it requires to adapt to a few
 technological recommendations for optimal performance. In this context, this report reviews the latest hardware
 technology trends tied to Edge Computing developments, and points out technical challenges implementing
 this innovative computing model. In particular, we analyse how High Performance Computing and Cloud
 Computing infrastructures can be eciently organised to design an Edge Computing-based framework able
 to tackle cutting-edge issues solved by Arti cial Intelligence techniques. Finally, this report presents selected
 real-world applications of the Edge Computing paradigm across multiple domains a ecting our daily life, i.e.,
 healthcare, smart city and grids, industry 4.0 and public safety.

description: AGN feedback is believed to play an important role in shaping a variety of observed galaxy properties, as well as the evolution of their stellar masses and star formation rates. In particular, in the current theoretical paradigm of galaxy formation, AGN feedback is believed to play a crucial role in regulating the levels of activity in galaxies, in relatively massive halos at low redshift. Only in recent years, however, has detailed statistical information on the dependence of galaxy activity on stellar mass, parent halo mass and hierarchy has become available. In this paper, we compare the fractions of galaxies belonging to different activity classes (star-forming, AGN and radio active) with predictions from four different and independently developed semi-analytical models. We adopt empirical relations to convert physical properties into observables (H_alpha emission lines, OIII line strength and radio power). We demonstrate that all models used in this study reproduce the overall distributions of galaxies belonging to different activity classes as a function of stellar mass and halo mass: star forming galaxies and the strongest radio sources are preferentially associated with low-mass and high-mass galaxies/halos respectively. However, model predictions differ from observational measurements in a number of ways. All models used in our study predict that almost every >1.e12 Msun dark matter halo and/or >1.e11 Msun galaxy should host a bright radio source, while only a small fraction of galaxies belong to this class in the data. In addition, radio brightness is expected to depend strongly on the mass of the parent halo mass in the models, while strong and weak radio galaxies are found in similar environments in data. Our results highlight that the distribution of AGN as a function of stellar mass provides one of the most promising discriminants between different gas accretion schemes.
