description: We present JWST NIRCam (F356W and F444W filters) and MIRI (F770W) images and NIRSpec Integral Field Unit (IFU) spectroscopy of the young Galactic supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) to probe the physical conditions for molecular CO formation and destruction in supernova ejecta. We obtained the data as part of a JWST survey of Cas A. The NIRCam and MIRI images map the spatial distributions of synchrotron radiation, Ar-rich ejecta, and CO on both large and small scales, revealing remarkably complex structures. The CO emission is stronger at the outer layers than the Ar ejecta, which indicates the re-formation of CO molecules behind the reverse shock. NIRSpec-IFU spectra (3?5.5 ?m) were obtained toward two representative knots in the NE and S fields that show very different nucleosynthesis characteristics. Both regions are dominated by the bright fundamental rovibrational band of CO in the two R and P branches, with strong [Ar vi] and relatively weaker, variable strength ejecta lines of [Si ix], [Ca iv], [Ca v], and [Mg iv]. The NIRSpec-IFU data resolve individual ejecta knots and filaments spatially and in velocity space. The fundamental CO band in the JWST spectra reveals unique shapes of CO, showing a few tens of sinusoidal patterns of rovibrational lines with pseudocontinuum underneath, which is attributed to the high-velocity widths of CO lines. Our results with LTE modeling of CO emission indicate a temperature of ?1080 K and provide unique insight into the correlations between dust, molecules, and highly ionized ejecta in supernovae and have strong ramifications for modeling dust formation that is led by CO cooling in the early Universe.

description: Recently, a class of long-period radio transients (LPTs) has been discovered, exhibiting emission on timescales thousands of times longer than radio pulsars. Several models had been proposed implicating either a strong magnetic field neutron star, isolated white dwarf pulsar, or a white dwarf binary system with a low-mass companion. While several models for LPTs also predict X-ray emission, no LPTs have been detected in X-rays despite extensive searches. Here we report the discovery of an extremely bright LPT (10-20 Jy in radio), ASKAP J1832-0911, which has coincident radio and X-ray emission, both with a 44.2-minute period. The X-ray and radio luminosities are correlated and vary by several orders of magnitude. These properties are unique amongst known Galactic objects and require a new explanation. We consider a $\gtrsim0.5$ Myr old magnetar with a $\gtrsim 10^{13}$ G crustal field, or an extremely magnetised white dwarf in a binary system with a dwarf companion, to be plausible explanations for ASKAP J1832-0911, although both explanations pose significant challenges to formation and emission theories. The X-ray detection also establishes a new class of hour-scale periodic X-ray transients of luminosity $\sim10^{33}$ erg/s associated with exceptionally bright coherent radio emission.

description: The development of cloud infrastructures inspires the emergence of cloud-native computing. As the most promising architecture for deploying microservices, serverless computing has recently attracted more and more attention in both industry and academia. Due to its inherent scalability and flexibility, serverless computing becomes attractive and more pervasive for ever-growing Internet services. Despite the momentum in the cloud-native community, the existing challenges and compromises still wait for more advanced research and solutions to further explore the potentials of the serverless computing model. As a contribution to this knowledge, this article surveys and elaborates the research domains in the serverless context by decoupling the architecture into four stack layers: Virtualization, Encapsule, System Orchestration, and System Coordination. Inspired by the security model, we highlight the key implications and limitations of these works in each layer, and make suggestions for potential challenges to the field of future serverless computing.

description: We present the Fundamental Plane (FP) of early-type galaxies in the clusters of galaxies RXJ1415.1+3612 at z=1.013. This is the first detailed FP investigation of cluster early-type galaxies at redshift z=1. The distant cluster galaxies follow a steeper FP relation compared to the local FP. The change in the slope of the FP can be interpreted as a mass-dependent evolution. To analyse in more detail the galaxy population in high redshift galaxy clusters at 0.82x10^{11}M_{\sun}) the bulk of their stellar populations have been formed earlier z_{form}>~1.6. Our results confirm previous findings by Jorgensen et al. This suggests that the less massive galaxies in the distant clusters have much younger stellar populations than their more massive counterparts. One explanation is that low-mass cluster galaxies have experienced more extended star formation histories with more frequent bursts of star formation with shorter duration compared to the formation history of high-mass cluster galaxies.

A model for diffusive and displacive phase transitions in steels

description: Heat treatment of steels is a process of fundamental importance in tailoring the properties of a material to the desired application; developing a model able to describe such process would allow to predict the microstructure obtained from the treatment and the consequent mechanical properties of the material.
A steel, during a heat treatment, can undergo two different kinds of phase transitions [p.t.]: diffusive (second order p.t.) and displacive (first order p.t.); in this thesis, an attempt to describe both in a thermodynamically consistent framework is made; a phase field, diffuse interface model accounting for the coupling between thermal, chemical and mechanical effects is developed, and a way to overcome the difficulties arising from the treatment of the non-local
effects (gradient terms) is proposed.
The governing equations are the balance of linear momentum equation, the Cahn-Hilliard equation and the balance of internal energy equation. The model is completed with a suitable description of the free energy, from which constitutive relations are drawn.
The equations are then cast in a variational form and different numerical techniques are used to deal with the principal features of the model: time-dependency, non-linearity and presence of high order spatial derivatives.
Simulations are performed using DOLFIN, a C++ library for the automated solution of partial differential equations by means of the finite element method; results are shown for different test-cases. The analysis is reduced to a two dimensional setting, which is simpler than a three dimensional one, but still meaningful.
A long period Rayleigh wave experiment in the Vancouver Island region
Creators: name: Pareja, German J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A study of the dispersion of long-period Rayleigh waves was proposed in order to acquire additional knowledge about the lithospheric structure of the Vancouver Island region. Three portable, long-period seismographs were designed and built to operate in field conditions. An array was established with stations at Victoria, Vancouver and Quadra Island; during six weeks of operation, several earthquakes were recorded, of which two were aligned conveniently with the array. Another network with stations at Ucluelet, Quadra Island and Victoria was set up later; no usable data were recorded. the earthquake record was chosen for analysis, and group-velocity dispersion calculations were begun. Echo resolution on these data and a lack of ether usable records prevented the continuation of the data processing. No conclusions are drawn about the lithospheric structure; however, recommendations are made regarding possible future experimentation with the existing apparatus.

description: The constant connectedness of smart home devices and their sensing capabilities pose a unique threat to individuals? privacy. While users may expect devices to exhibit minimal activity while they are not performing their intended functions, this is not necessarily the case, and traditional idle mode designations are insufficient to address the current landscape of smart home devices. To address this we propose a passive mode designation based on a comprehensive categorization of smart home devices. We then measure the network traffic of thirty-two devices in their respective passive modes. We find that 97% of the devices exhibit near-constant network activity in these modes (exchanging over 3M messages in 24 hours), with many of the devices initiating and responding to LAN communications with other devices, which potentially exposes users to privacy leakages.

description: To create usable and deployable Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, there requires a level of assurance in performance under many different conditions. Many times, deployed machine learning systems will require more classic logic and reasoning performed through neurosymbolic programs jointly with artificial neural network sensing. While many prior works have examined the assurance of a single component of the system solely with either the neural network alone or entire enterprise systems, very few works have examined the assurance of integrated neurosymbolic systems. Within this work, we assess the assurance of end-to-end fully differentiable neurosymbolic systems that are an emerging method to create data-efficient and more interpretable models. We perform this investigation using Scallop, an end-to-end neurosymbolic library, across classification and reasoning tasks in both the image and audio domains. We assess assurance across adversarial robustness, calibration, user performance parity, and interpretability of solutions for catching misaligned solutions. We find end-to-end neurosymbolic methods present unique opportunities for assurance beyond their data efficiency through our empirical results but not across the board. We find that this class of neurosymbolic models has higher assurance in cases where arithmetic operations are defined and where there is high dimensionality to the input space, where fully neural counterparts struggle to learn robust reasoning operations. We identify the relationship between neurosymbolic models' interpretability to catch shortcuts that later result in increased adversarial vulnerability despite performance parity. Finally, we find that the promise of data efficiency is typically only in the case of class imbalanced reasoning problems.

description: We report the discovery of a very cool d/sdL7+T7.5p common proper motion binary system, SDSS J1416+13AB, found by cross-matching the UKIDSS Large Area Survey Data Release 5 against the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. The d/sdL7 is blue in J-H and H-K and has other features suggestive of low-metallicity and/or high gravity. The T7.5p displays spectral peculiarity seen before in earlier type dwarfs discovered in UKIDSS LAS DR4, and referred to as CH4-J-early peculiarity. We suggest that CH4-J-early peculiarity arises from low-metallicity and/or high-gravity, and speculate as to its use for classifying T dwarfs. UKIDSS and follow-up UKIRT/WFCAM photometry shows the T dwarf to have the bluest near infrared colours yet seen for such an object with H-K = -1.31+/-0.17. Warm Spitzer IRAC photometry shows the T dwarf to have extremely red H-[4.5] = 4.86+/-0.04, which is the reddest yet seen for a substellar object. The lack of parallax measurement for the pair limits our ability to estimate parameters for the system. However, applying a conservative distance estimate of 5-15 pc suggests a projected separation in range 45-135 AU. By comparing H-K:H-[4.5] colours of the T dwarf to spectral models we estimate that Teff = 500 K and [M/H]~-0.30, with log g ~ 5.0. This suggests a mass of ~30 MJupiter for the T dwarf and an age of ~10 Gyr for the system. The primary would then be a 75MJupiter object with log g ~ 5.5 and a relatively dust-free Teff ~ 1500K atmosphere. Given the unusual properties of the system we caution that these estimates are uncertain. We eagerly await parallax measurements and high-resolution imaging which will constrain the parameters further.

description: The research embodied in this thesis is based on Saussurean structuralism, Beedham's 'method of exceptions and their correlations', corpus linguistics, Bybee & Moder's spling experiments and work on irregular verbs by Pinker, Tobin and Even-Simkin. We looked for rules and meaning in the irregular verbs of German, English and Swedish, employing Beedham's vowel-consonant (VC) and consonant-vowel (CV) analysis of irregular verbs in German, English and Russian, in which he claims that the VCs and CVs of irregular verbs, e.g. the -eib and the blei- of German bleiben, are markers of irregular conjugation, and that the German irregular verbs share the VCs of separable prefixes, indicating that irregular verbs are perfective. We carried out a VC/CV experiment on Swedish, adding several refinements to Beedham's experiments, especially using a numerical threshold to arrive at a numerical measure of how many irregular verb VCs/CVs are markers of irregular conjugation. We found that 78% of Swedish irregular verbs have a VC and 87% have a CV which is a marker of irregular conjugation. We also discovered that an individual vowel and an individual consonant can be a marker of irregular conjugation. We carried out spling experiments on German, English and Swedish, which we administered in Bonn, St Andrews and Stockholm. We presented participants with a set of invented verbs, e.g. English spling, and asked them to write down the preterit (past tense) of each verb. Going by current wisdom they should conjugate the verbs regularly, e.g. spling splinged. But unbeknown to the participants we had laced the verbs with a good dose of irregular verb VCs and CVs, and many participants conjugated many verbs irregularly, e.g. spling splang. These results corroborate the view that the VCs and CVs of the irregular verbs of German, English and Swedish are markers of irregular conjugation and meaning-bearing.

La danza Butō come matrice epistemologica

description: La presente tesi parte dalla poetica e dalla metodologia di costruzione dell’essere scenico
proposta dai fondatori della danza Butō – Tatsumi Hijikata e Kazuo Ōno – cercando di
individuarne alcuni dei principali elementi filosofici e tecnici, che potrebbero offrirsi come
tessuto epistemologico nella proposta di una pedagogia critica del corpo. In questa direzione,
rintraccia alcune caratteristiche di ambito storico, sociologico, tecnico e filosofico che
sostengono il progetto politico-artistico d’“insurrezione” fisica messo in scena dalla danza Butō.
Le sue proposte di reificazione delle memorie del corpo, d’instaurazione di processi metamorfici
e di dissoluzione delle energie espressive di un self razionale, sono alcuni esempi di modalità di
promulgazione di “politiche del corpo” che concedono una dimensione critica al gesto e, al
contempo, una qualità sovversiva alla materialità della carne. La ribellione del corpo cui attinge la
danza Butō, dunque, potrebbe servire come riferimento per la costruzione di “anticorpi”, ovvero
di differenti concezioni del corpo che si contrappongano, come antitesi, al corpo sfidante e
dominatore della contemporaneità e, al tempo stesso, possano servire come microrganismi di
combattimento a favore della guarigione della società malata costruita dall’Occidente.

description: We present an application of the Faraday effect to produce a narrow band atomic filter in an alkali metal vapor. In our experiment two Raman beams separated in frequency by the ground state hyperfine splitting in 87Rb are produced using an EOM and then filtered using the Faraday effect in an isotopically pure 85Rb thermal vapor. An experimental transmission spectra for the filter is presented along with a theoretical calculation. The performance of the filter is then demonstrated and characterized using a Fabry-Perot etalon. For a temperature of 70 degrees and a longitudinal magnetic field of 80 G a suppression to -18 dB is achieved, limited by the quality of the polarizers.

description: This paper describes three-dimensional numerical simulations and Radio Frequency (RF) measurements of wave propagation in microwave-heated magnetized plasmas of ion sources. Full-wave solution of Maxwell's equations has been addressed through the Finite Element Method (FEM) commercial software COMSOL. Our numerical model takes into account the strongly inhomogeneous and anisotropic magnetized "cold" plasma medium. The simulations reproduce the main features of the wave-plasma interaction of the Flexible Plasma Trap (FPT) that recently came into operations at INFN-LNS. A two-pins RF probe has been ad-hoc developed and used as a plasmaimmersed antenna for measuring local wave electric fields in the FPT device. The measurements of plasma electron density and RF electric field, performed for different external magnetic field configuration, allowed a direct comparison with the assumed simulation model.

description: In this work we investigate the theory for three different uni-directional population transfer schemes in trapped multilevel systems which can be utilized to cool molecular ions. The approach we use exploits the laser-induced coupling between the internal and motional degrees of freedom so that the internal state of a molecule can be mapped onto the motion of that molecule in an external trapping potential. By sympathetically cooling the translational motion back into its ground state the mapping process can be employed as part of a cooling scheme for molecular rotational levels. This step is achieved through a common mode involving a laser-cooled atom trapped alongside the molecule. For the coherent mapping we will focus on adiabatic passage techniques which may be expected to provide robust and efficient population transfers. By applying far-detuned chirped adiabatic rapid passage pulses we are able to achieve an efficiency of better than 98% for realistic parameters and including spontaneous emission. Even though our main focus is on cooling molecular states, the analysis of the different adiabatic methods has general features which can be applied to atomic systems.

description: Animals often shape environmental microbial communities, which can in turn influence animal gut microbiomes. Invasive species in critical habitats may reduce grazing pressure from native species and shift microbial communities. The landlocked coastal ponds, pools, and caves that make up the Hawaiian anchialine ecosystem support an endemic shrimp (Halocaridina rubra) that grazes on diverse benthic microbial communities, including orange cyanobacterial-bacterial crusts and green algal mats. Here, we asked how shrimp: (1) shape the abundance and composition of microbial communities, (2) respond to invasive fishes, and (3) whether their gut microbiomes are affected by environmental microbial communities. We demonstrate that ecologically relevant levels of shrimp grazing significantly reduce epilithon biomass. Shrimp grazed readily and grew well on both orange crusts and green mat communities. However, individuals from orange crusts were larger, despite crusts having reduced concentrations of key fatty acids. DNA profiling revealed shrimp harbor a resident gut microbiome distinct from the environment, which is relatively simple and stable across space (including habitats with different microbial communities) and time (between wild-caught individuals and those maintained in the laboratory for >2 yr). DNA profiling also suggests shrimp grazing alters environmental microbial community composition, possibly through selective consumption and/or physical interactions. While this work suggests grazing by endemic shrimp plays a key role in shaping microbial communities in the Hawaiian anchialine ecosystem, the hypothesized drastic ecological shifts resulting from invasive fishes may be an oversimplification as shrimp may largely avoid predation. Moreover, environmental microbial communities may have little influence on shrimp gut microbiomes.

description: This paper presents and advocates for an initiative to expand access to secure programming education. The Strengthening Workforce Education: Excellence in Programming Securely (SWEEPS) initiative, funded by the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) program, seeks to advance secure programming and help achieve security aims. SWEEPS establishes a secure programming curriculum and workforce development coalition of seven institutions across two CAE (Center of Academic Excellence) regions (Northeast and Southwest) and five states (California, Massachusetts, Maryland, Indiana, and North Carolina). This coalition includes industry-based stakeholders collaborating with the US Army and government agencies on various projects. SWEEPS draws on prior work establishing critical concepts in secure programming, assessment tools, learning aids, and system infrastructure. The initiative offers a series of interconnected, stackable learning experiences tailored for early to mid-career professionals looking to enhance their cybersecurity skills. These experiences, which include practical one-day workshops and comprehensive year-long graduate certificates, provide a reassuring path for upskilling in secure programming. This paper recommends the efficacy of stackable training approaches in secure programming by exploring the practices of targeting and training individuals with diverse proficiency levels of programming experience who would benefit from increased knowledge and training.

description: We report on observations of the CoRoT IR01 field with the Berlin Exoplanet Search Telescope (BEST). BEST is a small aperture telescope with a wide field of view (FOV). It is dedicated to search for variable stars within the target fields of the CoRoT space mission to aid in minimizing false-alarm rates and identify potential targets for additional science. CoRoT's observational programm started in February 2007 with the "initial run" field (IR01) observed for about two months. BEST observed this field for 12 nights spread over three months in winter 2006. From the total of 30426 stars observed in the IR01 field 3769 were marked as suspected variable stars and 54 from them showed clear periodicity. From these 19 periodic stars are within the part of the CoRoT FOV covered in our data set.

description: In this work, we calculate the branching ratios of the color-allowed two-body nonleptonic decays of the bottom baryons, which include the $Ξ_b\to Ξ_c^{(*)}$ and $Ω_b\to Ω_c^{(*)}$ weak transitions by emitting a pseudoscalar meson ($π^{-}$, $K^{-}$, $D^{-}$, and $D_s^{-}$) or a vector meson ($ρ^{-}$, $K^{*-}$, $D^{*-}$, and $D_s^{*-}$). For achieving this aim, we adopt the three-body light-front quark model with the support of hadron spectroscopy, where the spatial wave functions of these heavy baryons involved in these weak decays are obtained by a semirelativistic potential model associated with the Gaussian expansion method. Our results show that these decays with the $π^-$, $ρ^-$, and $D_s^{(*)-}$-emitted mode have considerable widths, which could be accessible at the ongoing LHCb and Belle II experiments.

description: When sub-Alfvenic (Alfven Mach number M_A < 1) plasmas impact Earth, the magnetosphere develops Alfven wings. A Multiscale Atmosphere Geospace Environment (MAGE) global simulation of the April 2023 geomagnetic storm, validated against Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE), reveals the mechanism of field-aligned current (FAC) generation and auroral precipitation for the terrestrial Alfven wings. Simulation and observations show northern hemisphere planetward flowing auroral electrons (negative FAC) are predominantly at magnetic local times (MLTs) 5-11. Just before the wings formed, solar wind conditions were similar and 1 < M_A < 2, yet negative FAC extended across the entire day-side and night-side dusk sectors. Flow vorticity drives FACs at the boundary of the Alfven wings and unshocked solar wind. The Alfven wing shape presents a different obstacle to the solar wind compared to typical lobe fluxes, producing the unique FAC and auroral patterns. New insights about Alfven wing FACs will generate new understanding of aurora for exoplanets inside their host star's Alfven zone.
Deep water exchange in Bute Inlet, British Columbia

description: Bute Inlet is a silled embayment of the British Columbia mainland coast connected to the Strait of Georgia through Sutil Channel. The properties of the waters in the inlet have been observed during a series of cruises from June 1972 to June 1974 with the main objective of determining the water circulation below the upper layer. The time-series of salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen distributions obtained from this two-year survey are presented and used to analyse the circulation pattern and renewal mechanism of the intermediate and deep inlet waters. Inflows of deep water from the Strait of Georgia into Bute Inlet occurred frequently during the study period and took place when the water from the Strait of Georgia appearing above the sill was denser than the water in the basin of the inlet. Volumes of inflows into Bute Inlet have been estimated and some calculations indicate that inflow speeds could be large enough to be recorded by existing current meters. The renewal of the deep water in Bute Inlet basin appears to be basically consistent with the annual cycle of deep water replacement in the Strait of Georgia and with its year to year variations.

description: The proliferation of mobile smart devices with ever-improving sensing capacities means that Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) can economically provide a large-scale and flexible solution. However, existing MCSs face threats to privacy and fairness when recruiting workers due to information sensitivity, uncertainty about worker behavior, and budget constraints. To address the above issues, we propose an Anonymity, Trust, and Fairness in Privacy Protection (ATFPP) service construction framework to cost-effectively improve the quality of data at MCS. The main innovations are as follows: Firstly, on anonymity, in order to protect the privacy of workers, we propose a Privacy-Preserving (PP) framework based on an anonymous three-party platform, which realizes a full-process privacy-preserving scheme for workers. Second, on trust, we design more efficient Truth Discovery (TD) algorithm and adopt multifactor trust assessment method to identify more trustworthy workers. In addition, in terms of fairness, the fair distribution of compensation is realized through reasonable budget and approximate Shapley method. Finally, the proposed ATFPP scheme is theoretically proven to be correct and effective. Simulations based on real-world datasets illustrate that our ATFPP service construction scheme outperforms the state-of-the-art method in terms of both privacy protection and data quality.

description: Considering a five-dimensional (5D) Riemannian spacetime with a particular stationary Ricci-flat metric, we obtain in the framework of the induced matter theory an effective 4D static and spherically symmetric metric which give us ordinary gravitatory solutions on small (planetary and astrophysical) scales, but repulsive (antigravity) forces on very large (cosmological) scales with ω= -1. Our approach is an unified manner to describe dark energy, dark matter and ordinary matter. We illustrate the theory with two examples, the solar system and the great attractor. From the geometrical point of view, these results follow from the assumption that exists a confining force that make possible that test particles move on a given 4D hypersurface.

Topological viewpoint of two-dimensional group III-V and IV-IV compounds in the presence of electric field and spin-orbit coupling by density functional theory and tight-binding model

description: Using the tight-binding model and density functional theory, the topological invariant of the two-dimensional (2D) group III-V and IV-IV compounds are studied in the absence and the presence of an external perpendicular electric field and spin-orbit coupling. It will be recognized that a critical value of these parameters changes the topological invariant of 2D graphene-like compounds. The significant effects of an external electric field and spin-orbit coupling are considered to the two-center overlap integrals of the Slater-Koster model involved in band structures, changing band-gap, and tuning the topological phase transition between ordinary and quantum spin Hall regime. These declare the good consistency between two theories: tight-binding and density functional. So, this study reveals topological phase transition in these materials. Our finding paves a way to extend an effective Hamiltonian, and may instantly clear some computation aspects of the study in the field of spintronic based on the first-principles methods.

description: We present an opto-electrical cooling scheme for polar molecules based on a Sisyphus-type cooling cycle in suitably tailored electric trapping fields. Dissipation is provided by spontaneous vibrational decay in a closed level scheme found in symmetric-top rotors comprising six low-field-seeking rovibrational states. A generic trap design is presented. Suitable molecules are identified with vibrational decay rates on the order of 100Hz. A simulation of the cooling process shows that the molecular temperature can be reduced from 1K to 1mK in approximately 10s. The molecules remain electrically trapped during this time, indicating that the ultracold regime can be reached in an experimentally feasible scheme.
title: Uniqueness of Weak Solutions for Biot-Stokes Interactions

description: We resolve the issue of uniqueness of weak solutions for linear, inertial fluid-poroelastic-structure coupled dynamics. The model comprises a 3D Biot poroelastic system coupled to a 3D incompressible Stokes flow via a 2D interface, where kinematic, stress-matching, and tangential-slip conditions are prescribed. Our previous work provided a construction of weak solutions, these satisfying an associated finite energy inequality. However, several well-established issues related to the dynamic coupling, hinder a direct approach to obtaining uniqueness and continuous dependence. In particular, low regularity of the hyperbolic (Lam\'e) component of the model precludes the use of the solution as a test function, which would yield the necessary a priori estimate. In considering degenerate and non-degenerate cases separately, we utilize two different approaches. In the former, energy estimates are obtained for arbitrary weak solutions through a systematic decoupling of the constituent dynamics, and well-posedness of weak solutions is inferred. In the latter case, an abstract semigroup approach is utilized to obtain uniqueness via a precise characterization of the adjoint of the dynamics operator. The results here can be adapted to other systems of poroelasticity, as well as to the general theory of weak solutions for hyperbolic-parabolic coupled systems.

description: The rotational use of insecticides with diverse modes of action in indoor residual spraying (IRS) is pivotal for enhancing malaria vector control and addressing insecticide resistance. A key factor in national malaria vector control/elimination programmes is the rate at which these insecticides decay. VECTRON? T500, with broflanilide as its active ingredient, is a recently developed candidate insecticide formulation which has shown promising results in certain phase II experimental hut trials. However, its residual efficacy across different settings has not been thoroughly investigated. This study evaluated the efficacy of VECTRON? T500 on various wall surfaces (mud, dung, paint, and cement) and assessed its decay rates over time in Ethiopia.

description: Traditional ranking systems are expected to sort items in the order of their relevance and thereby maximize their utility. In fair ranking, utility is complemented with fairness as an optimization goal. Recent work on fair ranking focuses on developing algorithms to optimize for fairness, given position-based exposure. In contrast, we identify the potential of outliers in a ranking to influence exposure and thereby negatively impact fairness. An outlier in a list of items can alter the examination probabilities, which can lead to different distributions of attention, compared to position-based exposure. We formalize outlierness in a ranking, show that outliers are present in realistic datasets, and present the results of an eye-tracking study, showing that users scanning order and the exposure of items are influenced by the presence of outliers. We then introduce OMIT, a method for fair ranking in the presence of outliers. Given an outlier detection method, OMIT improves fair allocation of exposure by suppressing outliers in the top-k ranking. Using an academic search dataset, we show that outlierness optimization leads to a fairer policy that displays fewer outliers in the top-k, while maintaining a reasonable trade-off between fairness and utility.
