description: The ISO 12913 standards acknowledge the primacy of context in perceiving acoustic environments. In soundscape assessments, context is constituted by both physical surroundings and psychological, social, and cultural factors. Previous studies have revealed similarities in people’s soundscape assessments in comparable physical surroundings, such as urban or national parks, despite differing individual associative contexts. However, these assessments were found to be capable of shifting in the historic setting of the Berlin Wall Memorial. Providing contextual information from the past appears to have some bearing on soundscape perception. The COVID-19 lockdown measures enacted since March 2020 in Germany have prevented most tourist activity at the memorial, and a resulting shift in user activity has been observed in the otherwise open and accessible memorial landscape. Building on previous soundscape investigations conducted at the memorial, this paper investigates what effect the restrictions have had on the soundscape context and its perception by visitors. Informal interviews paired with comparative measurements indicated context pliability for local stakeholders. In contrast to site programming alone, tourist presence also appears to affect context perception for local users. This holds repercussions for soundscape and heritage site designs serving local and tourist populations—and their divergent perceptions—alike. The impacts of soundscape assessments being neither static nor generalizable across stakeholders are discussed with suggestions for further research.

Translating “Sexual Harassment” in Japan and Egypt: Conception and Perception on the Move
Creators: name: Goto, Emi
Publisher: name: International Quarterly for Asian Studies
Year: 2023

description: This research note is based on work in progress relating to the relevance of translation and semantic framing for the public perception of newly introduced concepts. The article traces trajectories of public perception of the concept “sexual harassment” in different countries. It sheds light on the role played by the translation words that were chosen to introduce the concept into societies where it was not yet established as a term denoting a violation of women’s rights and a serious offence. The term “sexual harassment” was coined in the United States during the 1970s and was subsequently adopted in various parts of the world. Two societies in which the term was adopted in transliteration and translation are Japan and Egypt. In the case of Japan, the term was introduced during the 1980s, yielding the transliterated Japanese loanword sekushuaru harasumento, later abbreviated to seku-hara. It became a buzzword, yet with a less serious nuance than the English term originally aroused. Egypt adopted the term in the 2000s, translated as taḥarrush jinsī in Arabic. The translation word taḥarrush jinsī was strategically selected and subsequently framed so as to denote a serious offence. Examined through an approach known as the “cassette effect”, the comparison of the two cases suggests that the process of framing the meaning of terms and concepts by social movements and advocacy groups is highly significant for their public perception.

description: Aims.The aim of this study is a detailed abundance analysis of the newly discovered r-rich star HE 1405 0822, which has [Fe=H]=-2.40. This star shows enhancements of both r- and s-elements, [Ba/Fe]= +1.95 and [Eu/Fe]=1.54, for which reason it is called r+s star. Methods.Stellar parameters and element abundances were determined by analying high-quality VLT/UVES spectra. We used Fe I line excitation equilibria to derive the effective temperature. The surface gravity was calculated from the Fei/Feii and Ti I/Ti II equilibria. Results.We determined accurate abundances for 39 elements, including 19 neutron-capture elements. HE 1405-0822 is a red giant. Its strong enhancements of C, N, and s-elements are the consequence of enrichment by a former AGB companion with an initial mass of less than 3 M_Sun. The heavy n-capture element abundances (including Eu, Yb, and Hf) seen in HE 1405-0822 do not agree with the r-process pattern seen in strongly r-process-enhanced stars. We discuss possible enrichment scenarios for this star. The enhanced alpha elements can be explained as the result of enrichment by supernovae of type II. Na and Mg may have partly been synthesized in a former AGB companion, when the primary 22^Ne acted as a neutron poison in the 13^C-pocket.

description: This IQAS special issue on “Knowledge on the Move” critically examines the circulation of knowledge in Asia, seeking to understand what kind of knowledge moves, where and when, and why and how it does or did so. It addresses the dynamics of global epistemic frameworks, intellectual problematisation, and everyday knowing, emphasizing that knowledge systems connect people across nations and regions. The issue discusses diverse knowledges that foster connectivity and explores the boundaries and limitations that arise. Translation becomes essential in making knowledge "move" and convey meanings effectively. While some concepts from the West have been introduced in Asia, criticisms of unidirectional flows persist in global academia. The articles present rich research results, providing insights into the circulation and construction of connections across Asia, encouraging further discussions on knowledge movement and the concept of Asia itself.

description: Urban bicycling has been largely marginalized for decades in the global north and south. Despite a renaissance over the last two decades in academic research, political discourse, sustainability activism, and planning, cities often struggle with data quality and quantity. Digitalization has led to more and better data sources, but they still must be validated and compared with findings from conventional travel surveys. With the COVID-19 pandemic, bicycling and associated road facilities expanded, as did road crashes involving bicycles. This study utilized tens of thousands of datapoints sourced by public institutions and digital devices belonging to private companies that have spread across Berlin over the last ten years and are currently ubiquitous. What does an integrated analysis of data from these novel sources reveal for urban bicycling research, planning, and network design? We explored and visualized the relationships and spatiotemporal variations in (i) bicycling volumes and (ii) crashes, unveiling the (iii) distribution of and correlation between datasets and the city’s bikeway network at an unprecedented threshold. The findings can be useful for special interest groups and to guide future urban bicycling research, planning, and network design.

description: Observations of dense molecular gas towards the supernova remnants CTB 37A (G348.5+0.1) and G348.5-0.0 were carried out using the Mopra and Nanten2 radio telescopes. We present CO(2-1) and CS(1-0) emission maps of a region encompassing the CTB 37A TeV gamma-ray emission, HESS J1714-385, revealing regions of dense gas within associated molecular clouds. Some gas displays good overlap with gamma-ray emission, consistent with hadronic gamma-ray emission scenarios. Masses of gas towards the HESS J1714-385 TeV gamma-ray emission region were estimated, and were of the order of 10^3-10^4 solar masses. In the case of a purely hadronic origin for the gamma-ray emission, the cosmic ray flux enhancement is ~80-1100 times the local solar value. This enhancement factor and other considerations allow a discussion of the age of CTB 37A, which is consistent with ~10^4 yr.

Instigating a Call for the Teaching of Alternative Discourses and Knowledges in Asia
Creators: name: Abdullah, Noorman
Publisher: name: International Quarterly for Asian Studies
Year: 2023

description: The state of knowledge production and circulation – or what is framed as “relevant” knowledge within academic cultures of learning and teaching – is intimately tied to the global concept of what is “marketable”. Closely associated with this are opportunities for teaching and research funding, graduate scholarship awards, the employment of research and teaching staff and curriculum design. In Asia, the corporatisation of universities and their departments intensified in the 1990s and early 2000s. This stemmed from a complex interplay of historical and structural conditions and pressures, including the colonial legacy of cultural, intellectual and economic dependency. In this paper, the author argues that what is necessary in these contexts in Asia, in line with the call for what are now broadly termed “alternative discourses” from scholars such as Syed Farid Alatas and Vineeta Sinha, is the teaching of a social science tradition created and expanded by scholars who are guided by the selection of problems and relevance from within. In broad contours, alternative discourses refer to the theorising and conceptualisation of social science in Asia and elsewhere that emerged from dissatisfaction with mainstream Euro-American-oriented models, research agendas and priorities. More specifically, the article interrogates the focus on teaching and pedagogy, which has, among other things, resulted in a displacement of attention from issues that should be of crucial consideration to Asian societies.

description: Spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency are two critical issues in designing wireless networks. Through dynamic spectrum access, cognitive radios can improve the spectrum efficiency and capacity of wireless networks. On the other hand, radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting has emerged as a promising technique to supply energy to wireless networks and thereby increase their energy efficiency. Therefore, to achieve both spectrum and energy efficiencies, the secondary users in a cognitive radio network (CRN) can be equipped with the RF energy harvesting capability and such a network can be referred to as an RF-powered cognitive radio network. In this article, we provide an overview of the RF-powered CRNs and discuss the challenges that arise for dynamic spectrum access in these networks. Focusing on the tradeoff among spectrum sensing, data transmission, and RF energy harvesting, then we discuss the dynamic channel selection problem in a multi-channel RF-powered CRN. In the RF-powered CRN, a secondary user can adaptively select a channel to transmit data when the channel is not occupied by any primary user. Alternatively, the secondary user can harvest RF energy for data transmission if the channel is occupied. The optimal channel selection policy of the secondary user can be obtained by formulating a Markov decision process (MDP) problem. We present some numerical results obtained by solving this MDP problem.

description: A new type of experiment with joint considerations of quantitative and sequence factors is recently drawing much attention in medical science, bio-engineering, and many other disciplines. The input spaces of such experiments are semi-discrete and often very large. Thus, efficient and economical experimental designs are required. Based on the transformations and aggregations of good lattice point sets, we construct a new class of optimal quantitative-sequence (QS) designs that are marginally coupled, pair-balanced, space-filling, and asymptotically orthogonal. The proposed QS designs have a certain flexibility in run and factor sizes and are especially appealing for high-dimensional cases.

description: The origin of the high X-ray luminosities of most ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) still remains poorly understood. Most of the scenarios proposed to explain their nature assume that ULXs are powered by accretion on to a black hole (BH). In this case, the detection of compact radio emission and the location of the ULXs in the Fundamental Plane (X-ray versus radio-luminosity plane) can provide an estimate of the ULX BH mass and help address the question of their physical nature. We present the results of a high-resolution (very long baseline interferometry) radio observational campaign aimed at detecting and studying compact radio emission in four ULXs with known radio counterparts. We find that one of the targets (N4559-X4) was previously misclassified: its low X-ray luminosity indicates that the source is not a ULX. No milliarcsec-scale radio emission is detected for N4559-X4 nor for the ULXs N4490-X1 and N5194-X2, for which upper limits on the radio luminosities are estimated. These limits argue strongly against the presence of supermassive BHs in these three systems. For N4559-X4, the low X-ray luminosity and the ratio of the radio and X-ray luminosities suggest the presence of an X-ray binary. Compact radio emission is detected for the ULX N5457-X9 within its \textit{Chandra} positional error, making N5457-X9 a potential intermediate-mass BH with steady jet emission.

description: We study infinite words coding an orbit under an exchange of three intervals which have full complexity C(n) = 2n + 1 for all n ∈ N (non-degenerate 3iet words). In terms of parameters of the interval exchange and the starting point of the orbit we characterize those 3iet words which are invariant under a primitive substitution. Thus, we generalize the result recently obtained for Sturmian words.

description: In modern communication systems, having an accurate channel estimator is crucial. However, when there is mobility, it becomes difficult to estimate the channel and the pilot signals, which are used for channel estimation, become insufficient. In this paper, we introduce the use of Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs) with data pilot-aided (DPA) channel estimation and temporal averaging (TA) to estimate vehicle-to-vehicle same direction with Wall (VTV-SDWW) channels. The TCN-DPA-TA estimator showed an improvement in Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of up to 1 order of magnitude. Furthermore, the BER performance of the TCN-DPA without TA also improved by up to 0.7 magnitude compared to the best classical estimator.

description: The physics of the Mars PCM (previously LMD Mars GCM) has been improved : cloud nucleation now has a temperature-dependent scheme, latent heat of ground ice sublimation is computed and overall physical resolution is enhanced. Under these conditions, we find that retroactions of albedo and thermal inertia allow perennial deposition of ice outside the polar regions when increasing the obliquity of Mars from its present day value of 25° toward 35°, with accumulation rates compatibles with the formation of a "Latitude-Dependent Mantle" during the last high obliquity excursion.

description: Dual cavity opto-electromechanical systems (OEMS) are those where two electromagnetic cavities are connected by a common mechanical spring. These systems have been shown to facilitate high fidelity quantum state transfer from one cavity to another. In this paper, we explicitly calculate the effect on the fidelity of state transfer, when an additional spring is attached to only one of the cavities. Our quantitative estimates of loss of fidelity, highlight the sensitivity of dual cavity OEMS when it couples to additional mechanical modes. We show that this sensitivity can be used to design an effective mechanical switch, for inhibition or high fidelity transmission of quantum states between the cavities.

title: The Influence of Seawalls on Beach Responses to Storms, Seasonal Transitions and Long-Term Erosion
Creators: name: Hazelton, John Marshall

Year: 1994

description: It has been argued that seawalls have a detrimental effect on the adjacent beaches. These effects may only be noticeable over a period of years or may be short-term effects associated with storms or with seasonal transitions of the beach. Many theories on beach and seawall interaction have been speculative and have lacked actual field or laboratory evidence for their basis.

This study uses four years of monthly and post-storm beach profile data to examine what influences the seawalls at Sandbridge, Virginia have on the adjacent beaches. Long-term effects of the seawalls are analyzed using fourteen years of profile data. Five parameters are defined to describe the beach profiles. Changes in the profiles parameters in time are quantified using three methods of analysis.

A larger subaerial volume seaward of the wall was removed during storms than seaward of an imaginary partition extending from a nearby wall for non-walled beaches. Beaches backed by seawalls recover from storms and winter seasons at the same time as non-walled beaches. The active seasonal seaward volume was larger for the wall profiles. The four year shoreline recession rate was statistically higher for the dune profiles. The volume seaward erosion rate was statistically higher for the dune profiles. The berm elevation recession rates were statistically equal for the dune and wall profiles. There is support for the hypothesis that the landward dune volume is eroding at a faster rate due to seawall construction on adjacent beaches.

description: The enigmatic pseudogap phase in underdoped cuprate high T_c superconductors has long been recognized as a central puzzle of the T_c problem. Recent data show that the pseudogap is likely a distinct phase, characterized by a medium range and quasi-static charge ordering. However, the origin of the ordering wavevector and the mechanism of the charge order is unknown. At the same time, earlier data show that precursive superconducting fluctuations are also associated with this phase. We propose that the pseudogap phase is a novel pairing state where electrons on the same side of the Fermi surface are paired, in strong contrast with conventional BCS theory which pair electrons on opposite sides of the Fermi surface. In this state the Cooper pair carries a net momentum and belong to a general class called pair density wave (PDW). The microscopic pairing mechanism comes from a gauge theory formulation of the resonating valence bond (RVB) picture, where electrons traveling in the same direction feel an attractive force in analogy with Ampere's effects in electromagnetism. We call this Amperean pairing. Charge order automatically appears as a subsidiary order parameter. Our theory gives a prediction of the ordering wavevector which is in good agreement with experiment. Furthermore, the quasiparticle spectrum from our model explains many of the unusual features reported in photoemission experiments. The Fermi arc and the unusual way the tip of the arc terminates also come out naturally. We also discuss how the onset of the Kerr effect in this state can be accommodated. Finally, we propose an experiment which can directly test the notion of Amperean pairing.

description: Temporal metamaterials are artificial materials whose electromagnetic properties change over time. In analogy with spatial media and metamaterials, where their properties change smoothly or abruptly over space, temporal metamaterials can exhibit a smooth variation over time, realizing a temporal non-homogeneous medium, or a stepwise transition, realizing the temporal version of dielectric slabs or multilayer structures. In this Letter, we focus our attention on temporal multilayer structures, and we propose the synthesis of higher-order transfer functions by modeling the wave propagation through a generalized temporal multilayer structure, consisting of a cascade over time of different media. The tailoring of the scattering response of temporal structure as a function of frequency is presented, deriving the corresponding scattering coefficients for a properly designed set of medium properties, i.e., permittivity and permeability, and application time, in analogy with what is typically done in optical and electromagnetic spatial multilayered structures. This allows us to design novel electromagnetic and optical devices with higher-order transfer functions by exploiting the temporal dimension instead of the spatial one.

description: We report on a strictly differential line-by-line analysis of high quality UVES spectra of bright giants in the metal-poor globular cluster NGC 6752. We achieved high precision differential chemical abundance measurements for Fe, Na, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Ni, Zn, Y, Zr, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu and Dy with uncertainties as low as ~0.01 dex (~2%). We obtained the following main results. (1) The observed abundance dispersions are a factor of ~2 larger than the average measurement uncertainty. (2) There are positive correlations, of high statistical significance, between all elements and Na. (3) For any pair of elements, there are positive correlations of high statistical significance, although the amplitudes of the abundance variations are small. Removing abundance trends with effective temperature and/or using a different pair of reference stars does not alter these results. These abundance variations and correlations may reflect a combination of (a) He abundance variations and (b) inhomogeneous chemical evolution in the pre- or proto-cluster environment. Regarding the former, the current constraints on Delta Y from photometry likely preclude He as being the sole explanation. Regarding the latter, the nucleosynthetic source(s) must have synthesised Na, alpha, Fe-peak and neutron-capture elements and in constant amounts for species heavier than Si; no individual object can achieve such nucleosynthesis. We speculate that other, if not all, globular clusters may exhibit comparable abundance variations and correlations to NGC 6752 if subjected to a similarly precise analysis.

description: The last decade has witnessed great advancements in the science and engineering of systems with unconventional band structures, seeded by studies of graphene and topological insulators. While the band structure of graphene simulates massless relativistic electrons in two dimensions, topological insulators have bands that wind non-trivially over momentum space in a certain abstract sense. Over the last couple of years, enthusiasm has been burgeoning in another unconventional and topological (although, not quite in the same sense as topological insulators) phase -- the Weyl Semimetal. In this phase, electrons mimic Weyl fermions that are well-known in high-energy physics, and inherit many of their properties, including an apparent violation of charge conservation known as the Chiral Anomaly. In this review, we recap some of the unusual transport properties of Weyl semimetals discussed in the literature so far, focusing on signatures whose roots lie in the anomaly. We also mention several proposed realizations of this phase in condensed matter systems, since they were what arguably precipitated activity on Weyl semimetals in the first place.
