description: Let $A$ be an $n$-dimensional algebra over a field $k$ and $a(A)$ its quantum symmetry semigroup. We prove that the automorphisms group ${\rm Aut}_{\rm Alg} (A)$ of $A$ is isomorphic to the group $U \bigl( G(a (A)^{\rm o} ) \bigl)$ of all invertible group-like elements of the finite dual $a (A)^{\rm o}$. For a group $G$, all $G$-gradings on $A$ are explicitly described and classified: the set of isomorphisms classes of all $G$-gradings on $A$ is in bijection with the quotient set $ {\rm Hom}_{\rm BiAlg} \, \bigl( a (A) , \, k[G] \bigl)/\approx$ of all bialgebra maps $a (A) \, \to k[G]$, via the equivalence relation implemented by the conjugation with an invertible group-like element of $a (A)^{\rm o}$.

description: Within the factorization-assisted topological-amplitude approach, we studied the 33 charmless $B_{(s)} \to VV$ decays, where $V$ stands for a light vector meson. According to the flavor flows, the amplitude of each process can be decomposed into 8 different topologies. In contrast to the conventional flavor diagrammatic approach, we further factorize each topological amplitude into decay constant, form factors and unknown universal parameters. By $χ^2$ fitting 46 experimental observables, we extracted 10 theoretical parameters with $χ^2$ per degree of freedom around 2. Using the fitted parameters, we calculated the branching fractions, polarization fractions, CP asymmetries and relative phases between polarization amplitudes of each decay mode. The decay channels dominated by tree diagram have large branching fractions and large longitudinal polarization fraction. The branching fractions and longitudinal polarization fractions of color-suppressed decays become smaller. Current experimental data of large transverse polarization fractions in the penguin dominant decay channels can be explained by only one transverse amplitude of penguin annihilation diagram. Our predictions of those not yet measured channels can be tested in the ongoing LHCb experiment and the Belle-II experiment in future.

description: Evolution of the 7Li abundance in the convection zone of the Sun during different stages of its life time is considered to explain its low photospheric value in comparison with that of the solar system meteorites. Lithium is intensively and transiently burned in the early stages of evolution (pre-main sequence, pMS) when the radiative core arises, and then the Li abundance only slowly decreases during the main sequence (MS). We study the rates of lithium burning during these two stages. In a model of the Sun, computed ignoring pMS and without extra-convective mixing (overshooting) at the base of the convection zone, the lithium abundance does not decrease significantly during the MS life time of 4.6 Gyr. Analysis of helioseismic inversions together with post-model computations of chemical composition indicates the presence of the overshooting region and restricts its thickness. It is estimated to be approximately half of the local pressure scale height 0.5Hp) which corresponds to 3.8 % of the solar radius. Introducing this extra region does not noticeably deplete lithium during the MS stage. In contrast, at the pMS stage, an overshooting region with a value of approximately 0.18Hp is enough to produce the observed lithium depletion. If we conclude that the dominant lithium burning takes place during the pMS stage, the dispersion of the lithium abundance in solar twins is explained by different physical conditions, primarily during the early stage of evolution before the MS.

description: We review the experimental methods to measure mixing and time-dependent $C\!P$ violation in $D^0$ decays into two hadrons. While these phenomena are usually neglected for $D^0 \to K^- π^+$ decays, this approximation is not always justified. In particular, it produces a bias on the measurement of the parameter $y_{CP}$, when this is performed by relying on $D^0 \to K^- π^+$ decays as a normalisation channel, whose size is around 40% of the precision of the current world average. Finally, we estimate the sensitivity to the weak mixing phases achievable by studying $D^0 \to K^- π^+$ and untagged $D \to K^- π^+$ decays, where $D$ stands for either of the $D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0$ mesons. Contrary to Cabibbo-suppressed $D^0 \to h^+ h^-$ decays, these decay channels allow to measure these phases without final-state dependent nuisance contributions from the decay amplitudes, but their sensitivity is lower by a factor of six.

description: A universal agreement among scholars is that reading is one of the most difficult skills to develop a high level of proficiency for foreign language learners. A vast
amount of research within the field of foreign language has indicated that reading comprehension is an interactive, constructive, meaning-making process, also entails the use of certain skills, and specific components. In that sense, the concept of metacognition is a valuable and a critical tool in reading comprehension skill. Because, both experimental and descriptive studies claimed that metacognitive strategies play an outstanding role in enhancing comprehension in reading. Therefore, the use of metacognitive strategies in the reading process has been considerably supported as a remarkable aid for its positive effects of employing in reading process. With the ever-growing significance of metacognitive strategies, this review study mainly aims to indicate the necessity of teaching metacognitive strategies to the students and shed light on metacognitive strategy use in reading skill in English as a foreign language (EFL). Namely, this paper attempts to explore the necessities of using metacognitive strategies and their functions through the reading comprehension literature. Furthermore, the views of prominent scholars about the use of metacognitive strategies and the raising of metacognitive awareness in reading comprehension skill are elobarated from different perspectives. To this end, the current study is framed around to provide a deep and clear understanding about close relationship between reading and reading comprehension process, and then certain different definitions and the functions of metacognitive strategies in reading are presented. Afterwards, diverse taxonomies of metacognitive strategies in literature are explored. Additionally, the relation between metacognitive strategies and reading comprehension in EFL classrooms is deeply explained. Finally, alternative effective metacognitive reading
strategies and strategy-based models are represented to promote the employment of metacognitive stategies among EFL readers.
More nearly social institutions: legal regulation and the sociology of corporations

description: Corporations are no longer simply a type of business structure; they are dominant social institutions. As institutions, corporations are archetypes of contemporary complex social organisation and should, therefore, be a central concern for sociology. Yet with few notable exceptions, sociologists have failed to address their increasingly dominant position in contemporary societies. In this thesis I argue the importance of a renewed sociological interest in corporations. This must acknowledge, but go beyond, the political-economic outcomes of corporations to address the profound consequences of the legal foundations of the corporate form. Corporations are created and regulated by legal doctrine; it is only with a legal mandate that corporations are able to act as employers, suppliers and investors. On this basis, I claim that any understanding of corporate dominance and its effects must commence with an appreciation of the laws that enable the corporation to exist and operate. -- While contributing significantly to wealth creation, corporate dominance also increases the potential for harm to occur to individuals and communities who fall within a corporation's scope. The contemporary proliferation of industrial illnesses is a prime example of this and is examined through a case study of the operations of an Australian asbestos corporation, James Hardie. This case study is timely and unique in its specification of the link between corporate activity and law in contemporary society. -- I argue that corporate activity such as that in the case study is enhanced and legitimated by the legal description of the corporation that assigns to it the capacities of a human individual through corporate legal personhood. Corporate personhood is examined as an example of the legal individualism endorsed in liberal common law countries. By exploring accounts of corporate structure, decision-making and work processes, I explain how the individualised description of the corporation is at odds with its collective realities; the largest and most successful corporations are collectives of human and monetary resources. -- In light of this, I question the extent to which the effective regulation of corporations can be achieved within existing legal frameworks. Building upon research into workplace health and safety in the United Kingdom, the regulation of workplace deaths in Australia is examined to demonstrate the various approaches to regulating corporations and to identify their shortcomings. This is a striking example of the problems law faces in regulating corporations by virtue of its individualistic design. -- The thesis concludes with an affirmation that sociology needs to grapple with issues of corporate activity and that an understanding of the legal basis of the corporation is the foundation of such studies.

description: Nonsymmorphic symmetries, which involve fractional lattice translations in crystalline materials, can generate exotic types of fermionic excitations that are robust against spin-orbit coupling. Here we report on a hourglass-type dispersion in the bulk of three-dimensional rhenium dioxide crystals, as dictated by its nonsymmorphic symmetries. Due to time reversal and inversion symmetries, each band has an additional two-fold degeneracy, making the neck crossing-point of the hourglass four-fold degenerate. Remarkably, close to the Fermi level, the neck crossing-point traces out a Dirac chain--a chain of connected four-fold-degenerate Dirac loops--in the momentum space. The symmetry protection, the transformation under symmetry-breaking, and the associated topological surface states of the hourglass Dirac chain are discussed.

description: Measurement of macroscopic properties of neutron stars, whether in binary or in an isolated system, provides us a key opportunity to place a stringent constraint on its equation of state. In this paper, we perform Bayesian model-selection on a wide variety of neutron star equation of state using multi-messenger observations. In particular, (i) we use the mass and tidal deformability measurement from two binary neutron star merger event, GW170817 and GW190425; (ii) simultaneous mass-radius measurement of PSR J0030+0451 and PSR J0740+6620 by NICER collaboration, while the latter has been analyzed by joint NICER/radio/XMM-Newton collaboration. Among the 31 equations of state considered in this analysis, we are able to rule out different variants of MS1 family, SKI5, H4, and WFF1 EoSs decisively, which are either extremely stiff or soft equations of state. The most preferred equation of state model turns out to be AP3 (or MPA1), which predicts the radius and dimensionless tidal deformability of a $1.4 M_{\odot}$ neutron star to be 12.10 (12.50) km and 393 (513) respectively.

description: Herein, we present a series of isomerically pure, peripherically alkyl substituted, soluble and low aggregating azaphthalocyanines as well as their new, smaller hybrid homologues, the azasubphthalocyanines. The focus lies on the effect of the systematically increasing number of aza building blocks [-N=] replacing the non peripheral [-CH=] units and its influence on physical and photophysical properties of these chromophores. The absolute and relative HOMO-LUMO energies of azaphthalocyanines was analyzed using UV-Vis, CV and compared to density functional theory calculations (B3LYP, TD-DFT). Crystals of substituted subphthalocyanine, N2-Pc*H2 and N4-[Pc*Zn$\cdot$H2O] were obtained out of DCM. For the synthesis of the valuable tetramethyltetraline phthalocyanine building block a new highly efficient synthesis involving a nearly quantitative CoII catalyzed aerobic autoxidation step is introduced replacing inefficient KMnO4/pyridine as oxidant. The lowering of the HOMO level is revealed as the determining factor for the trend in the adsorption energies by electronic structure analysis.

description: Optical Processing Units (OPUs) -- low-power photonic chips dedicated to large scale random projections -- have been used in previous work to train deep neural networks using Direct Feedback Alignment (DFA), an effective alternative to backpropagation. Here, we demonstrate how to leverage the intrinsic noise of optical random projections to build a differentially private DFA mechanism, making OPUs a solution of choice to provide a private-by-design training. We provide a theoretical analysis of our adaptive privacy mechanism, carefully measuring how the noise of optical random projections propagates in the process and gives rise to provable Differential Privacy. Finally, we conduct experiments demonstrating the ability of our learning procedure to achieve solid end-task performance.

description: In the context of tomographic cosmic shear surveys, there exists a nulling transformation of weak lensing observations (also called BNT transform) that allows us to simplify the correlation structure of tomographic cosmic shear observations, as well as to build observables that depend only on a localised range of redshifts and thus independent from the low-redshift/small-scale modes. This procedure renders possible accurate, and from-first-principles, predictions of the convergence and aperture mass one-point distributions (PDF). We here explore other consequences of this transformation on the (reduced) numerical complexity of the estimation of the joint PDF between nulled bins and demonstrate how to use these results to make theoretical predictions.

Freedom of speech, democracy and cyberspace: lessons from Australia, Singapore and India

description: It was predicted that everyone on Earth will be connected by 2020, posing for our world a host of new opportunities - and dangers. Free speech is the essence of modern democratic government and the very spirit of social life. The new technological sphere - cyberspace - has provided free speech with both a new frontier and unprecedented challenges. The challenges in the area of freedom of speech in cyberspace are not only technological, but also legal, political, social, cultural and economic. In the light of these variables, an analysis of the status of freedom of speech in the context of both democracy and cyberspace in those three nations is undertaken in order to ascertain what are the commonalities and differences among those States in their approaches to maintenance of free speech: how do they, with their similar but different jurisdictions and pluralistic cultures, maintain a balance between free speech, democracy, and the challenges of cyberspace? The thesis has placed emphasis on the necessary aspects of comparison such as freedom of political speech, cyber-governance, cyber-sovereignty, the issues of diversity and tolerance, censorship, and international law rather than only on infrastructure and technology. Comparative analysis is the major method for the thesis along with doctrinal research. Australian, Singaporean and Indian systems of governance are all democracies but are all different, responding to the nature of their culture and their policies on freedom of speech. The thesis demonstrated that: free speech grows well under democratic environments; the cooperation of government and private actors would be an appropriate means of furthering appropriate cyber-governance; free speech works at its best under conditions of diversity; the harmonization of diversity and tolerance to censorship needs legitimacy, public approval and transparency; a reasonable balance needs to be maintained between international treaty practice and domestic legislative power; cautious consideration is required when establishing rules for the flow of information in cyberspace; and there is a need to balance 'Legal Paternalism' and 'Autonomy'

description: Short-period super-Earths and Neptunes are now known to be very frequent around solar-type stars. Improving our understanding of these mysterious planets requires the detection of a significant sample of objects suitable for detailed characterization. Searching for the transits of the low-mass planets detected by Doppler surveys is a straightforward way to achieve this goal. Indeed, Doppler surveys target the most nearby main-sequence stars, they regularly detect close-in low-mass planets with significant transit probability, and their radial velocity data constrain strongly the ephemeris of possible transits. In this context, we initiated in 2010 an ambitious Spitzer multi-Cycle transit search project that targeted 25 low-mass planets detected by radial velocity, focusing mainly on the shortest-period planets detected by the HARPS spectrograph. We report here null results for 19 targets of the project. For 16 planets out of 19, a transiting configuration is strongly disfavored or firmly rejected by our data for most planetary compositions. We derive a posterior probability of 83% that none of the probed 19 planets transits (for a prior probability of 22%), which still leaves a significant probability of 17% that at least one of them does transit. Globally, our Spitzer project revealed or confirmed transits for three of its 25 targeted planets, and discarded or disfavored the transiting nature of 20 of them. Our light curves demonstrate for Warm Spitzer excellent photometric precisions: for 14 targets out of 19, we were able to reach standard deviations that were better than 50ppm per 30 min intervals. Combined with its Earth-trailing orbit, which makes it capable of pointing any star in the sky and to monitor it continuously for days, this work confirms Spitzer as an optimal instrument to detect sub-mmag-deep transits on the bright nearby stars targeted by Doppler surveys.

description: We compute the $Λ$ and $\overlineΛ$ global polarizations in semi-central heavy-ion collisions using the core-corona model where the source of $Λ$'s and $\overlineΛ$'s is taken as consisting of a high-density core and a less dense corona. We show that the overall properties of the polarization excitation functions can be linked to the relative abundance of $Λ$s coming from the core versus those coming from the corona. For low collision energies, the former are more abundant whereas for higher energies the latter become more abundant. The main consequence of this reversing of the relative abundance is that both polarizations peak at collision energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}\lesssim 10$ GeV. The exact positions and heights of these peaks depend not only on this reversal of relative abundances, but also on the centrality class, which is directly related to the QGP volume and lifetime, as well as on the relative abundances of $Λ$s and $\overlineΛ$s in the core and corona regions.The intrinsic polarizations are computed from a field theoretical approach that links the alignment of the strange quark spin with the thermal vorticity and modeling the QGP volume and lifetime using a Bjorken expansion scenario. We predict that the $Λ$ and $\overlineΛ$ global polarizations should peak at the energy range accessible to NICA and HADES.

description: Emission of relativistic axions from transient sources, such as axion star explosions, can lead to observable signatures. We show that axion bursts from collapsing axion stars can be detectable over the wide range of axion masses $10^{-15} \, \textrm{eV} \lesssim m \lesssim 10^{-7} \, \textrm{eV}$ in laboratory experiments, such as ABRACADABRA, DMRadio and SHAFT. The detection of axion bursts could provide new insights into the fundamental axion potential, which is challenging to probe otherwise. An ensemble of bursts in the distant past would give rise to a diffuse axion background distinct from the usual cold axion DM. Coincidence with other signatures would provide a new window into multi-messenger astronomy.

description: In this paper, we define the truncated Bernoulli-Carlitz numbers and the truncated Cauchy-Carlitz numbers as analogues of hypergeometric Bernoulli numbers and hypergeometric Cauchy numbers, and as extensions of Bernoulli-Carlitz numbers and the Cauchy-Carlitz numbers.

description: It is well-known that by requiring solutions of the Camassa--Holm equation to satisfy a particular local conservation law for the energy in the weak sense, one obtains what is known as conservative solutions. As conservative solutions preserve energy, one might be inclined to think that any solitary traveling wave is conservative. However, in this paper we prove that this is not true for the traveling waves known as stumpons. We illustrate this result by comparing the stumpon to simulations produced by a recently developed numerical scheme for conservative solutions.

description: Graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene is an excellent platform to study scattering processes of massless Dirac fermions by charged impurities, in which high mobility can be preserved due to the absence of lattice defects through direct substitution of carbon atoms in the graphene lattice by nitrogen atoms. In this work, we report on electrical and magnetotransport measurements of high-quality graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene. We show that the substitutional nitrogen dopants in graphene introduce atomically sharp scatters for electrons but long-range Coulomb scatters for holes and, thus, graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene exhibits clear electron-hole asymmetry in transport properties. Dominant scattering processes of charge carriers in graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene are analyzed. It is shown that the electron-hole asymmetry originates from a distinct difference in intervalley scattering of electrons and holes. We have also carried out the magnetotransport measurements of graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene at different temperatures and the temperature dependences of intervalley scattering, intravalley scattering and phase coherent scattering rates are extracted and discussed. Our results provide an evidence for the electron-hole asymmetry in the intervalley scattering induced by substitutional nitrogen dopants in graphene and shine a light on versatile and potential applications of graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene in electronic and valleytronic devices.

Multi-wavelength radiation models for low-luminosity GRBs, and the implications for UHECRs

description: We study the prompt phase of low-luminosity Gamma-Ray Bursts (ll-GRBs) as potential source of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays and Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs). Within the internal shock model we choose parameters for the relativistic outflow such that our representative events have observed properties similar to GRBs 980425, 100316D and 120714B and self-consistently calculate the full spectral and temporal properties in a leptonic synchrotron self-Compton scenario. To investigate the conditions under which inverse Compton radiation may lead to a peak in the GeV--TeV range, we vary the fraction of internal energy supplying the magnetic field. Further, we determine the maximal energies achievable for UHECR nuclei and derive constraints on the baryonic loading/typical duration by comparing to the extragalactic gamma-ray background. We find that ll-GRBs are potential targets for multiwavelength studies and in reach for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) and optical/UV instruments. For comparable sub-MeV emission and similar dynamical evolution of the outflow, weak (strong) magnetic fields induce high (low) fluxes in the VHE regime and low (high) fluxes in the optical. VHE emission may be suppressed by $γγ$-absorption close to the engine or interactions with the extragalactic background light for redshifts $z > 0.1$. For UHECRs, the maximal energies of iron nuclei (protons) can be as high as $\simeq 10^{11}$~GeV ($10^{10}$~GeV) if the magnetic energy density is large (and the VHE component is correspondingly weak). These high energies are possible by decoupling the production regions of UHECR and gamma-rays in our multizone model. Finally, we find basic consistency with the energy budget needed to accommodate the UHECR origin from ll-GRBs.

Effect of single-particle magnetostriction on the shear modulus of compliant magnetoactive elastomers

description: The influence of an external magnetic field on the static shear strain and the effective shear modulus of a magnetoactive elastomer (MAE) is studied theoretically in the framework of a recently introduced approach to the single-particle magnetostriction mechanism [V. M. Kalita et al, Phys. Rev. E 93, 062503 (2016)]. The planar problem of magnetostriction in an MAE with soft magnetic inclusions in the form of a thin disk (platelet) having the magnetic anisotropy in the plane of this disk is solved analytically. An external magnetic field acts with torques on magnetic filler particles, creates mechanical stresses in the vicinity of inclusions, induces shear strain and increases the effective shear modulus of these composite materials. It is shown that the largest effect of the magnetic field on the effective shear modulus should be expected in MAEs with soft elastomer matrices, where the shear modulus of the matrix is less than the magnetic anisotropy constant of inclusions. It is derived that the effective shear modulus is non-linearly dependent on the external magnetic field and approaches the saturation value in magnetic fields exceeding the field of particle anisotropy. It is shown that model calculations of the effective shear modulus correspond to a phenomenological definition of effective elastic moduli and magnetoelastic coupling constants. Obtained theoretical results compare well with known experimental data. Determination of effective elastic coefficients in MAEs and their dependence on magnetic field is discussed. The concentration dependence of the effective shear modulus at higher filler concentrations has been estimated using the method of Padé approximants, which correctly predicts that both the absolute and relative changes of the magnetic-field dependent effective shear modulus will significantly increase with the growing concentration of filler particles.

description: We study the non-parametric estimation of an unknown survival function S with support on R+ based on a sample with multiplicative measurement errors. The proposed fully-data driven procedure is based on the estimation of the Mellin transform of the survival function S and a regularisation of the inverse of the Mellin transform by a spectral cut-off. The upcoming bias-variance trade-off is dealt with by a data-driven choice of the cut-off parameter. In order to discuss the bias term, we consider the Mellin-Sobolev spaces which characterize the regularity of the unknown survival function S through the decay of its Mellin transform. For the analysis of the variance term, we consider the i.i.d. case and incorporate dependent observations in form of Bernoulli shift processes and beta mixing sequences. Additionally, we show minimax-optimality over Mellin-Sobolev spaces of the spectral cut-off estimator.
