description: A broadband technique for robust adiabatic rotation and conversion of light polarization is proposed. It uses the analogy between the equation describing the polarization state of light propagating through an optically anisotropic medium and the Schrodinger equation describing coherent laser excitation of a three-state atom. The proposed techniques is analogous to the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) technique in quantum optics; it is applicable to a wide range of frequencies and it is robust to variations in the ropagation length.

description: A vibrational model of heat conduction in liquids with soft pairwise interactions is applied to estimate the thermal conductivity coefficient of strongly coupled Yukawa fluids. A reasonable agreement with the available data from numerical simulations is observed. The results can be useful in the context of strongly coupled plasma and complex (dusty) plasma fluids, when Yukawa (or screened Coulomb) interaction potential is applicable.

description: We present a catalog of 9017 X-ray sources identified in Chandra observations of a 2 by 0.8 degree field around the Galactic center. We increase the number of known X-ray sources in the region by a factor of 2.5. The catalog incorporates all of the ACIS-I observations as of 2007 August, which total 2.25 Msec of exposure. At the distance to the Galactic center (8 kpc), we are sensitive to sources with luminosities >4e32 erg/s (0.5-8.0 keV; 90% confidence) over an area of one square degree, and up to an order of magnitude more sensitive in the deepest exposure (1.0 Msec) around Sgr A*. The positions of 60% of our sources are accurate to <1" (95% confidence), and 20% have positions accurate to <0.5". We search for variable sources, and find that 3% exhibit flux variations within an observation, 10% exhibit variations from observation-to-observation. We also find one source, CXOUGC J174622.7-285218, with a periodic 1745 s signal (1.4% chance probability), which is probably a magnetically-accreting cataclysmic variable. We compare the spatial distribution of X-ray sources to a model for the stellar distribution, and find 2.8 sigma evidence for excesses in the numbers of X-ray sources in the region of recent star formation encompassed by the Arches, Quintuplet, and Galactic center star clusters. These excess sources are also seen in the luminosity distribution of the X-ray sources, which is flatter near the Arches and Quintuplet than elsewhere in the field. These excess point sources, along with a similar longitudinal asymmetry in the distribution of diffuse iron emission that has been reported by other authors, probably have their origin in the young stars that are prominent at l~0.1 degree.

Finding overlapping communities in networks by label propagation

description: We propose an algorithm for finding overlapping community structure in very large networks. The algorithm is based on the label propagation technique of Raghavan, Albert, and Kumara, but is able to detect communities that overlap. Like the original algorithm, vertices have labels that propagate between neighbouring vertices so that members of a community reach a consensus on their community membership. Our main contribution is to extend the label and propagation step to include information about more than one community: each vertex can now belong to up to v communities, where v is the parameter of the algorithm. Our algorithm can also handle weighted and bipartite networks. Tests on an independently designed set of benchmarks, and on real networks, show the algorithm to be highly effective in recovering overlapping communities. It is also very fast and can process very large and dense networks in a short time.
Castilian nationalism and monastic influence in the "Poema de mio cid"
Creators: name: Souza, Anthony George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is essentially a re-evaluation of two issues in the Poema de mio Cid that have largely "been ignored in the long-standing debate between the individualists and the traditionalists over the genesis of the poem. These are (i) the question of Castilian nationalism, and (ii) monastic influence on the epic. In the first issue, scholars and critics are generally in agreement that the PMC contains some very definite pro-Castilian and anti-Leonese sentiments, but the extent to which this political attitude is reflected in the work has yet to be determined. In the second issue, the theory that the epic in general had its origins in the monasteries situated along the pilgrim routes of Mediaeval Europe was first raised by the French scholar Joseph Bedier, but was refuted by the eminent Spanish academician Ramon Menendez Pidal. As such, to date, the only critic who has attempted to apply Bedier's theory to the PMC is P.E. Russell. In this thesis, these two issues are subjected to a close re-evaluation based upon the most recent findings "by the individualists who, since the death of Pidal and the publication of Colin Smith's edition of the poem, have revised many of the theories of the Spanish scholar. This study is divided into four chapters. In the first, the Spanish epic in general is examined briefly to determine its national^ istic and monastic content. Also included in this chapter is a relevant discussion of tomb-cults, relic-worship and pilgrimages during the Middle Ages. The second chapter focuses on the latest arguments presented by both the traditionalists and individualists on the problems of historicity, authorship and dating of the PMC. In the third chapter, the PMC is studied closely with a view to finding manifestations of Castilian nationalism in the poem's major characters, actions and themes. The final chapter deals with the issue of monastic influence on the PMC. Apart from the poem itself, the history of the monastery of San Pedro de Cardena and its relationship with the Cid in fact and fiction are examined. It will be seen from the last two chapters that the PMC contains more evidence of nationalistic fervour and monastic influence than is generally acknowledged. In other words, the poem exhibits some definite pro-Castilian and anti-Leonese sentiments. If we view the poem against the historical background of the period in which we believe it to have been written, the theory that the PMC was used for propaganda purposes becomes quite plausible. In the issue of monastic influence, again the possibility exists that the PMC was composed in San Pedro de Cardena. The evidence, not only in the poem itself, but also in the chronicles of Spain and the histories of the monastery all indicate that a strong Cid cult existed in the Cardena region after the death of the hero. It appears that the PMC was a part of this cult and may have been composed as the result of a crisis in the history of the monastery.

description: Questions in Community Question Answering (CQA) sites are recommended to users, mainly based on users' interest extracted from questions that users have answered or have asked. However, there is a general phenomenon that users answer fewer questions while pay more attention to follow questions and vote answers. This can impact the performance when recommending questions to users (for obtaining their answers) by using their historical answering behaviors on existing studies. To address the data sparsity issue, we propose AskMe, which aims to leverage the rich, hybrid behavior interactions in CQA to improve the question recommendation performance. On the one hand, we model the rich correlations between the users' diverse behaviors (e.g., answer, follow, vote) to obtain the individual-level behavior interaction. On the other hand, we model the sophisticated behavioral associations between similar users to obtain the community-level behavior interaction. Finally, we propose the way of element-level fusion to mix these two kinds of interactions together to predict the ranking scores. A dataset collected from Zhihu (1126 users, 219434 questions) is utilized to evaluate the performance of the proposed model, and the experimental results show that our model has gained the best performance compared to baseline methods, especially when the historical answering behaviors data is scarce.

The solid?state conventional method utilized. All the samples were tested by using XRD from 1250oC to 1550oC by increasing 50 degrees for every sample and cooling to the room temperature. The contraction of structure did not happen even at elevated temperature. The increase in Nd+ ion polarizability is 0.50 nm compared to La+ rare elements material, which is 0.60, this contributes to change of perovskite cubic. This is result of the smaller size of Nd+ 0.127 nm cation compared to La+ which increase number of dipoles despite the reduction of diploes and expands relative permittivity (εr). The single-phase material produced which shows quality factor Q×f = 60000 saturated at 10 GHz and temperature coefficient of (τf) = -77 MK-1 .

description: Cosmic neutrinos are unique probes of the high energy universe. IceCube has discovered a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux since 2013, but their origin remains elusive. The potential sources could include, for example, active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts and star burst galaxies. To resolve those scenarios, higher statistics and better angular resolution of astrophysical neutrinos are needed. An optical module with larger photon collection area and more precise timing resolution in a next generation neutrino telescope could help. Silicon photon multipliers (SiPMs), with high quantum efficiency and fast responding time, combining with traditional PMTs, could boost photon detection efficiency and pointing capability. We will present a study on exploring the benefits of combining multiple PMTs and SiPMs in an optical module.

description: We present squeezed light that is robust against spatial mode mismatch (beam displacement, tilt, and beam-size difference), which is generated from a self-imaging optical parametric oscillator below the threshold. We investigate the quantum properties of the generated light when the oscillator is detuned from the ideal self-imaging condition for stable operation. We find that the generated light is more robust to mode mismatch than single-mode squeezed light having the same squeezing level, and it even outperforms the single-mode infinitely squeezed light as the strength of mode mismatch increases.

Large spectral gap and impurity-induced states in a two-dimensional Abrikosov vortex

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We study the subgap spectrum of a 2D Abrikosov vortex in an s-wave superconductor in the absence and presence of a point impurity. By solving the Eilenberger equations without impurity for two models of the vortex (including a self-consistent one), we find multiple subgap spectral branches. The number of these branches may be arbitrary large provided that the magnetic field screening length is large enough. The quasiclassical spectrum of the vortex has a local gap with a width of the order of the bulk gap and a spatial extent of several coherence lengths. The existence of such gap is the prerequisite for the appearance of discrete impurity-induced states. Within the Gor'kov equations formalism, we find that a single impurity induces up to four discrete quasiparticle states in the vortex. The energies and wavefunctions of the impurity states are calculated for different parameters. We claim that most of the predicted spectral features can be observed in scanning tunnel spectroscopy experiments.

description: Electronic structures of the zigzag bilayer graphite nanoribbons(Z-BGNR) with various ribbon width $N$ are studied within the tight binding approximation. Neglecting the inter-layer hopping amplitude $γ_4$, which is an order of magnitude smaller than the other inter-layer hopping parameters $γ_1$ and $γ_3$, there exist two fixed Fermi points $\pm k^*$ independent of the ribbon width with the peculiar energy dispersion near $k^*$ as $\ve (k) \sim \pm (k-k^*)^N$. By investigating the edge states of the Z-BGNR, we notice that the trigonal warping of the bilayer graphene sheets are reflected on in the edge state structure. With the inclusion of $γ_4$, the above two Fermi points are not fixed, but drift toward the vicinity of the Dirac point with the increase of the width $N$ as shown by the finite scaling method and the peculiar dispersions change to the parabolic ones. The edge magnetism of the Z-BGNR is also examined by solving the half-filled Hubbard Hamiltonian for the ribbon using the Hartree-Fock approximation. We have shown that within the same side of the edges, the edge spins are aligned ferromagnetically for the experimentally relevant set of parameters.

description: Line-driven winds of hot, luminous stars are intrinsically unstable due to the line-deshadowing instability (LDI). In non-magnetic hot stars, the LDI leads to the formation of an inhomogeneous wind consisting of small-scale, spatially separated clumps that can have great effects on observational diagnostics. However, for magnetic hot stars the LDI generated structures, wind dynamics, and effects on observational diagnostics have not been directly investigated so far. We investigated the non-linear development of LDI generated structures and dynamics in a magnetic line-driven wind of a typical O-supergiant. We employed two-dimensional axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the LDI using the Smooth Source Function approximation for evaluating the assumed one-dimensional line force. To facilitate the interpretation of these magnetic models, they were compared with a corresponding non-magnetic LDI simulation as well as a magnetic simulation neglecting the LDI. A central result obtained is that the wind morphology and wind clumping properties change strongly with increasing wind-magnetic confinement. Most notably, in magnetically confined flows, the LDI leads to large-scale, shellular sheets ('pancakes') that are quite distinct from the spatially separate, small-scale clumps in non-magnetic line-driven winds. We discuss the impact of these findings for observational diagnostic studies and stellar evolution models of magnetic hot stars.

description: We compute the mid-infrared extinction law from 3.6-24 microns in three molecular clouds: Ophiuchus, Perseus, and Serpens, by combining data from the "Cores to Disks" Spitzer Legacy Science program with deep JHKs imaging. Using a new technique, we are able to calculate the line-of-sight extinction law towards each background star in our fields. With these line-of-sight measurements, we create, for the first time, maps of the chi-squared deviation of the data from two extinction law models. Because our chi-squared maps have the same spatial resolution as our extinction maps, we can directly observe the changing extinction law as a function of the total column density. In the Spitzer IRAC bands, 3.6-8 microns, we see evidence for grain growth. Below $A_{K_s} = 0.5$, our extinction law is well-fit by the Weingartner & Draine (2001) $R_V = 3.1$ diffuse interstellar medium dust model. As the extinction increases, our law gradually flattens, and for $A_{K_s} >= 1$, the data are more consistent with the Weingartner & Draine $R_V = 5.5$ model that uses larger maximum dust grain sizes. At 24 microns, our extinction law is 2-4 times higher than the values predicted by theoretical dust models, but is more consistent with the observational results of Flaherty et al. (2007). Lastly, from our chi-squared maps we identify a region in Perseus where the IRAC extinction law is anomalously high considering its column density. A steeper near-infrared extinction law than the one we have assumed may partially explain the IRAC extinction law in this region.

description: Gait recognition under multiple views is an important computer vision and pattern recognition task. In the emerging convolutional neural network based approaches, the information of view angle is ignored to some extent. Instead of direct view estimation and training view-specific recognition models, we propose a compatible framework that can embed view information into existing architectures of gait recognition. The embedding is simply achieved by a selective projection layer. Experimental results on two large public datasets show that the proposed framework is very effective.
Quill and Cross in the Borderlands: Sor María de Ágreda and the Lady in Blue, 1628 to the Present
Creators: name: Nogar, Anna M.
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2023

description: Quill and Cross in the Borderlands examines nearly four hundred years of history, folklore, literature, and art concerning the seventeenth-century Spanish nun and writer Sor María de Jesús de Ágreda, identified as the legendary “Lady in Blue” who miraculously appeared to tribes in colonial-era New Mexico and taught them the rudiments of the Catholic faith. Sor María, an author of mystical Marian works, became renowned not only for her alleged spiritual travel from her cloister in Spain to the New World, but also for her writing, studied and implemented by Franciscans on both sides of the ocean.ALT+EnterWorking from original historical accounts, archival research, and a wealth of literature on the legend and the historical figure alike, Anna M. Nogar meticulously examines how and why the legend and the person became intertwined in Catholic consciousness and social praxis. In addition to the influence of the narrative of the Lady in Blue in colonial Mexico, Nogar addresses Sor María’s importance as an author of spiritual texts that influenced many spheres of New Spanish and Spanish society. Quill and Cross in the Borderlands focuses on the reading and interpretation of her works, especially in New Spain, where they were widely printed and disseminated.ALT+EnterOver time, in the developing folklore of the Indo-Hispano populations of the present-day U.S. Southwest and the borderlands, the historical Sor María and her writings virtually disappeared from view, and the Lady in Blue became a prominent folk figure, appearing in folk stories and popular histories. These folk accounts drew the Lady in Blue into the present day, where she appears in artwork, literature, theater, and public ritual. Nogar’s examination of these contemporary renderings leads to a reconsideration of the ambiguities that lie at the heart of the narrative. Quill and Cross in the Borderlands documents the material legacy of a legend that has survived and thrived for hundreds of years, and at the same time rediscovers the historical basis of a hidden writer. This book will interest scholars and researchers of colonial Latin American literature, early modern women writers, folklore and ethnopoetics, and Mexican American cultural studies.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EDINBURGH POSTNATAL DEPRESSION SCALE AT A PSYCHIATRIC AMBULATORY CLINIC

description: We evaluated the use of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) as a screening tool to prevent the misdiagnosis of Postpartum Depression (PPD). The Stetler Model (SM) was used to guide implementation of the EPDS in an ambulatory psychiatric setting for this quality improvement (QI) project. Women diagnosed with PPD during an eight-week period immediately prior to the implementation of the EPDS were compared with women diagnosed with PPD using the EPDS during an eight-week period. The final sample of participating key stakeholders included three Psychiatrists (MD) and one Nurse Practitioner (NP) that agreed to implement the EPDS. A total of 29 pre- and post implementation postpartum women (PPW) met inclusion criteria for this project making up the final sample size. Eight were not screened by the EPDS during the two-week period prior to its implementation. A total of 21 postpartum women were screened with implementation of the EPDS. Of those PPW, 21 (100%) were diagnosed with PPD compared to six/eight (75%) PPW diagnosed with PPD without the use of the EPDS. Participating MDs and the NP diagnosed two (25%) patients with non-postpartum depression and anxiety when the EPDS was not used. Screening for postpartum depression with a tool that supports measurement of symptoms may help to more accurately diagnose PPD, and thus with more appropriate treatment of PPD.

Furthermore, an analytic expression is derived for the coverage leakage probability that a femtocell coverage area leaks into an outdoor macrocell. The coverage analysis is verified by simulation, which shows that the proposed scheme provides sufficient indoor femtocell coverage and that the femtocell coverage does not leak into an outdoor macrocell.

A study of infraspecific flavonoid variation of Cannabis sativa L. (Cannabaceae)
Creators: name: Clark, Murray Nelson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The genus Cannabis has been treated taxonomically by several authors, but two main hypotheses predominate. Small and Cronquist (1976) concluded that the genus is monotypic and contains only Cannabis sativa L. Subspecies were named according to the economic purpose of the plants, i.e. fibre or drug, and varieties were assigned according to habitat (wild or cultivated). Schultes (1974) believed the genus is polytypic, with Cannabis sativa L. representing the fibre plants, C. indica Lam, the drug plants, and C. ruderalis Janis. the wild and weedy plants. A study of flavonoid variation was undertaken to determine which of the taxonomic schemes would be supported by this variation. Individual plants were examined by thin-layer chromatography and presence/absence data for nine flavonoids were analyzed by three types of computer programs. The infraspecific variation of flavonoids in the genus Cannabis supports the monotypic theory of Small and Cronquist (1976). No consistent, distinguishable groups were noticeable in the data. Wild taxa were more closely related to their cultivated progenitors than they were to each other. A division of the genus Cannabis into several species would not be supported by flavonoid variation.

description: This paper shares our experience in a three-session online workshop using a new web-based data programming environment, Marti. The programming environment uses a card-based programming strategy in both unplugged and online activities. Educators can use the physical cards in a board-game style or use the programming environment's mobile application to scan these cards and render the final visualization on their phones/tablets. The web environment also uses visual draggable cards for programming that can manipulate and visualize data. We used Marti and its offered unplugged activities in three sessions with 12 middle school and 12 high school students, focusing on the data fundamentals, analysis, and visualization. We assert that integrating unplugged-style pseudo-code creation and supporting a similar experience using the available devices have considerable potential for delivering equal and affordable data programming education for all.

description: We argue that in the infrared regime of continuum Yang-Mills theory, the possibility of a mass gap in the charged sector is closely associated with the center vortex sector. The analysis of the possible consequences of the ensembles of defects is done by showing that the description of center vortices and monopoles is naturally unified by means of a careful treatment of Cho decomposition. If on the one hand confinement is usually associated with monopole condensation in a compact abelian model, in this scenario, the previous decoupling of the off-diagonal degrees of freedom, for the abelian model dominate at large distances, can be understood as induced by a phase where center vortices become thick objects. Other important scenarios for correlated monopoles and center vortices, observed in lattice simulations, are also accomodated in our general formulation.

description: Using a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and spin-wave theory methods, we investigate the magnetic interactions and spin excitations in semiconducting VI$_3$. Exchange parameters of monolayer, bilayer, and bulk forms are evaluated by mapping the magnetic energies of various spin configurations, calculated using DFT+$U$, onto the Heisenberg model. The intralayer couplings remain largely unchanged in three forms of VI$_3$, while the interlayer couplings show stronger dependence on the dimensionality of the materials. We calculate the spin-wave spectra within a linear spin-wave theory and discuss how various exchange parameters affect the magnon bands. The magnon-magnon interaction is further incorporated, and the Curie temperature is estimated using a self-consistently renormalized spin-wave theory. To understand the roles of constituent atoms on magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE), we resolve MAE into sublattices and find that a strong negative V-I inter-sublattice contribution is responsible for the relatively small easy-axis MAE in VI$_3$.

description: We present the broadband spectral analysis of all the six hard, intermediate and soft state NuSTAR observations of the recently discovered transient black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1348-630 during its first outburst in 2019. We first model the data with a combination of a multi-colour disc and a relativistic blurred reflection, and, whenever needed, a distant reflection. We find that this simple model scheme is inadequate in explaining the spectra, resulting in a very high iron abundance. We, therefore, explore the possibility of reflection from a high-density disc. We use two different sets of models to describe the high-density disc reflection: relxill-based reflection models, and reflionx-based ones. The reflionx-based high-density disc reflection models bring down the iron abundance to around the solar value, while the density is found to be $10^{20.3-21.4} \rm cm^{-3}$. We also find evidence of a high-velocity outflow in the form of $\sim$7.3 keV absorption lines. The consistency between the best-fit parameters for different epochs and the statistical significance of the corresponding model indicates the existence of high-density disc reflection in MAXI J1348-630.

description: Let K be a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic (0,p) with algebraically closed residue field, and let f: Y --> P^1 be a three-point G-cover defined over K, where G has a cyclic p-Sylow subgroup P. We examine the stable model of f, in particular, the minimal extension K^{st}/K such that the stable model is defined over K^{st}. Our main result is that, if g(Y) \geq 2, the ramification indices of f are prime to p, and |P| = p^n, then the p-Sylow subgroup of Gal(K^{st}/K) has exponent dividing p^{n-1}. This extends work of Raynaud in the case that |P| = p.

description: Characterizing chirality is highly important for applications in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as in the study of dynamical chemical and biological systems. However, this task has remained challenging, especially due to the ongoing increasing complexity and size of the molecular structure of drugs and active compounds. In particular, large molecules with many active chirality centers are today ubiquitous, but remain difficult to structurally analyze due to their high number of stereoisomers. Here we theoretically explore the sensitivity of high harmonic generation (HHG) to the chirality of molecules with a varying number of active chiral centers. We find that HHG driven by bi-chromatic non-collinear lasers is a sensitive probe for the stereo-configuration of a chiral molecule. We first show through calculations (from benchmark chiral molecules with up to three chirality centers) that the HHG spectrum is imprinted with information about the handedness of each chirality center in the driven molecule. Next, we show that using both classical- and deep-learning-based reconstruction algorithms, the composition of an unknown mixture of stereoisomers can be reconstructed with high fidelity by a single-shot HHG measurement. Our work illustrates how the combination of non-linear optics and machine learning might open routes for ultra-sensitive sensing in chiral systems.

Phantom Energy Accretion onto Black Holes in Cyclic Universe

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Black holes pose a serious problem in the cyclic or oscillating cosmology. It is speculated that, in the cyclic universe with phantom turnarounds, black holes will be torn apart by the phantom energy before turnaround before they can create any problems. In this paper, using the mechanism of the phantom accretion onto black holes, we find that black holes do not disappear before the phantom turnaround. But the remanent black holes will not cause any problems due to the Hawking evaporation.

description: We demonstrate non-degenerate photon-pair generation by spontaneous parametric down conversion in a silver gallium sulfide AgGaS$_2$ crystal. By tuning the pump wavelength, we achieve phase matching over a large spectral range. This allows to generate idler photons in the mid-infrared spectral range above 6 $μm$ wavelength with corresponding signal photons in the visible. Also, we show photon pair generation with broad spectral bandwidth. These results are a valuable step towards the development of quantum imaging and sensing techniques in the mid-infrared.

description: This communication presents a comparative study on the charge transport (in transient and steady state) in bulk n-type doped SiC-polytypes: 3C-SiC, 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC. The time evolution of the basic macrovariables: the electron drift velocity and the non-equilibrium temperature are obtained theoretically by using a Non-Equilibrium Quantum Kinetic Theory, derived from the method of Nonequilibrium Statistical Operator (NSO). The dependence on the intensity and orientation of the applied electric field of this macrovariables and mobility are derived and analyzed. From the results obtained in this paper, the most attractive of these semiconductors for applications requiring greater electronic mobility is the polytype 4H-SiC with the electric field applied perpendicular to the c-axis.

description: Conformal geometry is studied using the unfolded formulation à la Vasiliev. Analyzing the first-order consistency of the unfolded equations, we identify the content of zero-forms as the spin-two off-shell Fradkin-Tseytlin module of $\mathfrak{so}(2,d)$. We sketch the nonlinear structure of the equations and explain how Weyl invariant densities, which Type-B Weyl anomaly consist of, could be systematically computed within the unfolded formulation. The unfolded equation for conformal geometry is also shown to be reduced to various on-shell gravitational systems by requiring additional algebraic constraints.
