description: We consider the simplest realization of leptogenesis with one heavy Majorana neutrino species much lighter than the other ones. In this scenario, when the temperature of the early universe is smaller than the lightest Majorana neutrino mass, we compute at first order in the Standard Model couplings and, for each coupling, at leading order in the termperature the CP asymmetry in the decays of the lightest neutrino into leptons and anti-leptons. We perform the calculation using a hierarchy of two effective field theories organized as expansions in the inverse of the heavy-neutrino masses. In the ultimate effective field theory, leading thermal corrections proportional to the Higgs self coupling and the gauge couplings are encoded in one single operator of dimension five, whereas corrections proportional to the top Yukawa coupling are encoded in four operators of dimension seven, which we compute.

description: During the development work, the understanding of the center's research and application options evolved and developed. Discovering the great social potential inherent in the project, starting with changing fundamental perceptions of gender and society and later the relationship between knowledge and social change through data and information activism. Realizing that opening knowledge centers for public use (especially disadvantaged groups) opens possibilities for social change that did not exist until now. The connection between different types of sources (including secondary and primary written sources, databases, and original material about organizations active in the field) also enables innovative collaborations that have not been utilized to date. Work on developing "YODA'AT" continues to raise additional issues such as the relationship between advanced technology platforms and possibilities for social change and even the connections that arise between (non) gender equality and democratization.

description: An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an enlargement of the abdominal aorta which, if left untreated, can progressively widen and may rupture with fatal consequences. In this paper, we determine an optimal treatment policy using Markov decision process modeling. The policy is optimal with respect to the number of quality adjusted life-years (QALYs) that are expected to be accumulated during the remaining life of a patient. The new policy takes into account factors that are ignored by the current clinical policy (e.g. the life-expectancy and the age-dependent surgical mortality). The resulting optimal policy is structurally different from the current policy. In particular, the policy suggests that young patients with small aneurysms should undergo surgery. The robustness of the policy structure is demonstrated using simulations. A gain in the number of expected QALYs is shown, which indicates a possibility of improved care for patients with AAAs.

description: We present a combined theoretical and experimental study of the energetic stability and accessibility of different domain wall spin configurations in mesoscopic magnetic iron rings. The evolution is investigated as a function of the width and thickness in a regime of relevance to devices, while Fe is chosen as a material due to its simple growth in combination with attractive magnetic properties including high saturation magnetization and low intrinsic anisotropy. Micromagnetic simulations are performed to predict the lowest energy states of the domain walls, which can be either the transverse or vortex wall spin structure, in good agreement with analytical models, with simulations revealing the expected low temperature configurations observable on relaxation of the magnetic structure from saturation in an external field. In the latter case, following the domain wall nucleation process, transverse domain walls are found at larger widths and thicknesses than would be expected by comparing the competing energy terms demonstrating the importance of metastability of the states. The simulations are compared to high resolution experimental images of the magnetization using scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis to provide a phase diagram of the various spin configurations. In addition to the vortex and simple symmetric transverse domain wall, a significant range of geometries are found to exhibit highly asymmetric transverse domain walls with properties distinct from the symmetric transverse wall. Simulations of the asymmetric walls reveal an evolution of the domain wall tilting angle with ring thickness. Analysis of all the data reveals that in addition to the geometry, the influence of materials properties, defects and thermal activation all need to be taken into account in order to understand and reliably control the experimentally accessible states, as needed for devices.

description: A feasible method is proposed to generate isolated attosecond terawatt x-ray radiation pulses in high-gain free-electron lasers. In the proposed scheme, a frequency chirped laser pulse is employed to generate a gradually-varied spacing current enhancement of the electron beam and a series of spatiotemporal shifters are applied between the undulator sections to amplify a chosen ultra-short radiation pulse from self-amplified spontaneous emission. Three-dimensional start-to-end simulations have been carried out and the calculation results demonstrated that 0.15 nm x-ray pulses with peak power over 1TW and duration of several tens of attoseconds could be achieved by using the proposed technique.

Nonlinear plasmonic amplification via dissipative soliplasmons

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this contribution we introduce a new strategy for the compensation of plasmonic losses based on a recently proposed nonlinear mechanism: the resonant interaction between surface plasmon polaritons and spatial solitons propagating in parallel along a metal/dielectric/Kerr structure. This mechanism naturally leads to the generation of a quasi-particle excitation, the so-called soliplasmon resonance. We analyze the role played by the effective nonlinear coupling inherent to this system and how this can be used to provide a new mechanism of quasi-resonant nonlinear excitation of surface plasmon polaritons. We will pay particular attention to the introduction of asymmetric linear gain in the Kerr medium. The unique combination of nonlinear propagation, nonlinear coupling and gain give rise to a new scenario for the excitation of long- range surface plasmon polaritons with distinguishing characteristics. The connection between plasmonic losses and soliplasmon resonances in the presence of gain will be discussed.

ANALYZING THE CUMULATIVE IMPACT OF DIVERSE ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS ON THE FINANCIAL GROWTH OF DMBS IN NIGERIA
Creators: name: Ahmed, Abubakar Zik-Rullahi, Ph.D
Publisher: name: SADI Journal
Year: 2024
Subjects: Electronic Transactions, ATM, POS, EPSG and Financial Growth

description: This study analyzed the cumulative impact of diverse electronic transactions on the financial growth of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. The analysis utilizes regression analysis to investigate the impact of ATM usage and POS transactions on Earnings per share Growth (EPSG). The findings indicate that both ATM usage and POS transactions have a positive but statistically insignificant impact on EPSG. The coefficients suggest a positive relationship between these variables and EPSG, indicating that an increase in ATM usage and POS transactions may contribute to some degree of financial growth. However, the p-values exceed the significance level, indicating that these relationships are not statistically significant. These results suggest that while ATM usage and POS transactions may positively influence the financial performance of deposit money banks, their impact on EPSG is not statistically significant. Therefore, banks should consider exploring additional avenues for driving financial growth, such as diversifying revenue streams, embracing technological advancements, focusing on customer engagement and experience, monitoring market trends, strengthening risk management practices, and fostering collaboration and partnerships. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for deposit money banks in Nigeria to make informed decisions regarding their business strategies

description: Utilization of data for basic research versus industrial applications Universities and university researchers are sometimes perceived as focusing on basic research only, and lacking incentives for commercialization processes. In some cases, university researchers perceive industrial research as "problem solving", not in-depth research. One suggested solution is a platform of designated grants or funding programs that brings together both sectors through continuous collaboration and enables synergistic cooperation. Academia, industry, and healthcare contractual and IP sharing relations The industry sometimes sees the financial cost that an academic/medical institute charges for its IP as a barrier which might prevent both sides from reaching an agreement. Sometimes the costs of medical data are also considered high. One suggested solution is a creation of pre-existing agreement templates to regulate all such aspects. Requirement of funding and infrastructure for translational research Funding is required for the early stages of innovative research and for de-risking processes. The Israeli Bio-convergence program, recently developed by the Israeli Innovation Authority, plans to address such needs. In addition, knowledge transfer schemes in governmental agencies in Israel (Kamin, Nofar, Magneton and others) help to narrow the gap between academia and industry, with emphasis on bridging over the "valley of death" stage which requires mitigating technological risks and coming up with viable business plans. National level regulation of medical data use in terms of data security, privacy, and cost There is a clear need to regulate data sharing among the different sectors allowing innovation on one hand but assuring privacy and cost effectiveness on the other. One suggested solution is the creation of a data governance policy that will regulate all aspects of data sharing and associated costs. Such initiatives have begun in the Israeli ecosystem involving all relevant stakeholders. Accordingly, the Ministry of Health started drafting binding regulations regarding data anonymization, use of medical data in cloud technology and data sharing with the commercial sector.

Mapping controversial content on Wikipedia
Creators: name: Strotmann, Andreas
name: Zhao, Dangzhi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: We reported here on early results from mapping disputed content on the English Wikipedia identified through two controversy indicators, a first step in our research program to characterize imbalanced outcomes of such disputes as possibly biased topic areas. Other studies tended to focus on individual articles that are heavily contested. We aim to extend the study of controversies from the article level to the topic area level, to eventually address whether entire topic areas might be biased on Wikipedia. Contentious topic areas and their interconnections found here were mostly expected, but also harbored surprises. A spot-check of some particularly innocuously titled Wikipedia articles did confirm their identification as heavily disputed, but we did not yet attempt a systematic evaluation. In all, results indicate that the methods we used to identify controversial articles and to group them into topic areas appear to have worked very well. In that sense, we can present here a high-quality map of contentious topics on the English language Wikipedia, independent from and more comprehensive and refined than Wikipedia’s own list. Science is not immune to contention - Einstein vs. Bohr or Leibniz vs. Newton famously attest to that. Our results show the never-ending science vs religion fight (Fig 2) and the contentious labeling of traditional medicinal practices as “pseudoscience.” Several large contentious topic areas in physics (Figure 5) or medicine (Figure 6) as well as several smaller STEM topic areas (Figure 1) are also identified in our results. Topic areas that appear uncontroversial in principle become battle grounds for major other controversies in practice, witness GamerGate (political correctness issues in computer games) and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (Palestinian statehood controversy in lists-of-countries). This finding should come as no surprise, as both major controversies frequently spill over into academia. A full classification of controversies on Wikipedia thus awaits further research, and the present paper is an early step. Given its immense impact as the present-day go-to information source, enforced by technology giants like Google or Facebook, it is important for information science to analyze Wikipedia. Its lay editors, some of them men on a mission (in the traditional medicine case, on a scientism crusade), desperately need academic oversight over their activities. Our findings indicate topic areas on Wikipedia that could benefit from analysis in the form of published scholarly research that Luyt exemplifies.

description: Recently, an extremely high superconducting temperature (Tc) of ~200 K has been reported in the sulfur hydride system above 100 GPa. This result is supported by theoretical predictions and verified experimentally. The crystal structure of the superconducting phase was also identified experimentally, confirming the theoretically predicted structure as well as a decomposition mechanism from H2S to H3S+S. Even though nuclear resonant scattering has been successfully used to provide magnetic evidence for a superconducting state, a direct measurement of the important Meissner effect is still lacking. Here we report in situ alternating-current magnetic susceptibility measurements on compressed H2S under high pressures. It is shown that superconductivity suddenly appears at 117 GPa and that Tc reaches 183 K at 149 GPa before decreasing monotonically with a further increase in pressure. This evolution agrees with both theoretical calculations and earlier experimental measurements. The idea of conventional high temperature superconductivity in hydrogen-dominant compounds has thus been realized in the sulfur hydride system under hydrostatic pressure, opening further exciting perspectives for possibly realizing room temperature superconductivity in hydrogen-based compounds.

description: Accurately determining dependency structure is critical to discovering a system's causal organization. We recently showed that the transfer entropy fails in a key aspect of this---measuring information flow---due to its conflation of dyadic and polyadic relationships. We extend this observation to demonstrate that this is true of all such Shannon information measures when used to analyze multivariate dependencies. This has broad implications, particularly when employing information to express the organization and mechanisms embedded in complex systems, including the burgeoning efforts to combine complex network theory with information theory. Here, we do not suggest that any aspect of information theory is wrong. Rather, the vast majority of its informational measures are simply inadequate for determining the meaningful dependency structure within joint probability distributions. Therefore, such information measures are inadequate for discovering intrinsic causal relations. We close by demonstrating that such distributions exist across an arbitrary set of variables.

description: Women's basal body temperature (BBT) follows a periodic pattern that is associated with the events in their menstrual cycle. Although daily BBT time series contain potentially useful information for estimating the underlying menstrual phase and for predicting the length of current menstrual cycle, few models have been constructed for BBT time series. Here, we propose a state-space model that includes menstrual phase as a latent state variable to explain fluctuations in BBT and menstrual cycle length. Conditional distributions for the menstrual phase were obtained by using sequential Bayesian filtering techniques. A predictive distribution for the upcoming onset of menstruation was then derived based on the conditional distributions and the model, leading to a novel statistical framework that provided a sequentially updated prediction of the day of onset of menstruation. We applied this framework to a real dataset comprising women's self-reported BBT and days of menstruation, comparing the prediction accuracy of our proposed method with that of conventional calendar calculation. We found that our proposed method provided a better prediction of the day of onset of menstruation. Potential extensions of this framework may provide the basis of modeling and predicting other events that are associated with the menstrual cycle.

description: We show how to construct a large class of quantum error correcting codes, known as CSS codes, from highly entangled cluster states. This becomes a primitive in a protocol that foliates a series of such cluster states into a much larger cluster state, implementing foliated quantum error correction. We exemplify this construction with several familiar quantum error correction codes, and propose a generic method for decoding foliated codes. We numerically evaluate the error-correction performance of a family of finite-rate CSS codes known as turbo codes, finding that it performs well over moderate depth foliations. Foliated codes have applications for quantum repeaters and fault-tolerant measurement-based quantum computation.

description: Sulfur-bearing molecules are highly reactive in the gas phase of the ISM. However, the form in which most of the sulfur is locked onto interstellar dust grains is unknown. By taking advantage of the short time-scales of shocks in young molecular outflows, one could track back the main form of sulfur in the ices. In this paper, six transitions of H$_2$S and its isotopologues in the L1157-B1 bowshock have been detected using data from the Herschel-CHESS survey and the IRAM-30m ASAI large program. These detections are used to calculate the properties of H$_2$S gas in L1157-B1 through use of a rotation diagram and to explore the possible carriers of sulfur on the grains. The isotopologue detections allow the first calculation of the H$_2$S deuteration fraction in an outflow from a low mass protostar. The fractional abundance of H$_2$S in the region is found to be 6.0$\times$10$^{-7}$ and the deuteration fraction is 2$\times$10$^{-2}$. In order to investigate the form of sulfur on the grains, a chemical model is run with four different networks, each with different branching ratios for the freeze out of sulfur bearing species into molecules such as OCS and H$_2$S. It is found that the model best fits the data when at least half of each sulfur bearing species hydrogenates when freezing. We therefore conclude that a significant fraction of sulfur in L1157-B1 is likely to be locked in H$_2$S on the grains.

description: Observations by ISO and Spitzer towards young stellar objects (YSOs) showed that CO$_2$ segregates in the icy mantles covering dust grains. Thermal processing of ice mixture was proposed as responsible for the segregation. Although several laboratory studied thermally induced segregation, a satisfying quantification is still missing. We propose that the diffusion of CO$_2$ along pores inside water ice is the key to quantify segregation. We combined Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) and Reflection Absorption InfraRed Spectroscopy (RAIRS) to study how CO$_2$ molecules interact on a non-porous amorphous solid water (np-ASW) surface. We found that CO$_2$ diffuses significantly on a np-ASW surface above 65~K and clusters are formed at well below one monolayer. A simple rate equation simulation finds that the diffusion energy barrier of CO$_2$ on np-ASW is 2150$\pm$50 K, assuming a diffusion pre-exponential factor of 10$^{12}$ s$^{-1}$. This energy should also apply to the diffusion of CO$_2$ on wall of pores. The binding energy of CO$_2$ from CO$_2$ clusters and CO$_2$ from H$_2$O ice have been found to be $2415\pm20$ and $2250\pm20$~K, respectively, assuming the same prefactor for desorption. CO$_2$-CO$_2$ interaction is stronger than CO$_2$-H$_2$O interaction, in agreement with the experimental finding that CO$_2$ does not wet np-ASW surface. For comparison, we carried out similar experiments with CO on np-ASW, and found that the CO-CO interaction is always weaker than CO-H$_2$O. As a result, CO wets np-ASW surface. This study should be of help to uncover the thermal history of CO$_2$ on the icy mantles of dust grains.

description: There were several Muslim-majority countries with above-average levels of female participation in cancer research (Egypt and Turkey in the table, also Malaysia and Pakistan). However Switzerland, Germany and Austria perform well below the world average in this respect. Japan's performance is by far the lowest, especially for women in the normally more senior last author position. The common characteristic of countries with a high percentage of females appeared to be the availability, and cost, of childcare. It was not influenced by corruption, the status of women, or income inequality. We also observed that female Japanese cancer researchers, and those from other countries, fared much better when they were working in the USA and other countries more favourable to women, such as those in Scandinavia, than in their own countries.

description: We develop a deep learning network to estimate the illumination spectrum of hyperspectral images under various lighting conditions. To this end, a dataset, IllumNet, was created. Images were captured using a Specim IQ camera under various illumination conditions, both indoor and outdoor. Outdoor images were captured in sunny, overcast, and shady conditions and at different times of the day. For indoor images, halogen and LED light sources were used, as well as mixed light sources, mainly halogen or LED and fluorescent. The ResNet18 network was employed in this study, but with the 2D kernel changed to a 3D kernel to suit the spectral nature of the data. As well as fitting the actual illumination spectrum well, the predicted illumination spectrum should also be smooth, and this is achieved by the cubic smoothing spline error cost function. Experimental results indicate that the trained model can infer an accurate estimate of the illumination spectrum.

description: In light of the Higgs boson discovery we reconsider generation of the baryon asymmetry in the non-minimal split Supersymmetry model with an additional singlet superfield in the Higgs sector. We find that successful baryogenesis during the first order electroweak phase transition is possible within phenomenologically viable part of the model parameter space. We discuss several phenomenological consequences of this scenario, namely, predictions for the electric dipole moments of electron and neutron and collider signatures of light charginos and neutralinos.

description: Animal migration is a major driver of infectious agent dispersal. Duck and seabird migrations, for instance, play a key role in the spatial transmission dynamics and gene flow of avian influenza viruses (AIV), worldwide. On tropical islands, brown and lesser noddies (Anous stolidus and A. tenuirostris) may be important AIV hosts, but the lack of knowledge on their migratory behaviour limits our understanding of virus circulation in island networks. Here we show that high connectivity between islands generated by non-breeding dispersive behaviours may be a major driver in the spread and the maintenance of AIV among tropical islands of the Western Indian Ocean. Tracking data highlight two types of dispersive behaviours during the non-breeding season: birds either staying in the vicinity of their breeding ground (on Bird Island, Seychelles), or moving to and roosting on other islands in the Western Indian Ocean. Migrant birds used a wide range of roosting places from the Tanzanian coasts to the Maldives archipelago and Tromelin Island. Epidemiological data confirm that brown and lesser noddies are major hosts for AIV, although significant variations of seroprevalence between species suggest that other biological and ecological drivers could be involved in virus infection and transmission dynamics.

description: Most existing methods for audio classification assume that the vocabulary of audio classes to be classified is fixed. When novel (unseen) audio classes appear, audio classification systems need to be retrained with abundant labeled samples of all audio classes for recognizing base (initial) and novel audio classes. If novel audio classes continue to appear, the existing methods for audio classification will be inefficient and even infeasible. In this work, we propose a method for few-shot class-incremental audio classification, which can continually recognize novel audio classes without forgetting old ones. The framework of our method mainly consists of two parts: an embedding extractor and a classifier, and their constructions are decoupled. The embedding extractor is the backbone of a ResNet based network, which is frozen after construction by a training strategy using only samples of base audio classes. However, the classifier consisting of prototypes is expanded by a prototype adaptation network with few samples of novel audio classes in incremental sessions. Labeled support samples and unlabeled query samples are used to train the prototype adaptation network and update the classifier, since they are informative for audio classification. Three audio datasets, named NSynth-100, FSC-89 and LS-100 are built by choosing samples from audio corpora of NSynth, FSD-MIX-CLIP and LibriSpeech, respectively. Results show that our method exceeds baseline methods in average accuracy and performance dropping rate. In addition, it is competitive compared to baseline methods in computational complexity and memory requirement. The code for our method is given at https://github.com/vinceasvp/FCAC.

description: In this study, we develop a steady state and time-dependent exciton diffusion model including singlet and triplet excitons coupled with a modified Poisson and drift-diffusion solver to explain the mechanism of hyper triplet-triplet fusion (TTF) organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Using this modified simulator, we demonstrate various characteristics of OLEDs, including the J-V curve, internal quantum efficiency, transient spectrum, and electric profile. This solver can also be used to explain the mechanism of hyper-TTF-OLEDs and analyze the loss from different exciton mechanisms. Furthermore, we perform additional optimization of hyper-TTF-OLEDs that increases the internal quantum efficiency by approximately 33% (from 29% to 40%).

description: The 2175 Å UV extinction feature was discovered in the mid-1960s, yet its physical origin remains poorly understood. One suggestion is absorption by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) molecules, which is supported by theoretical molecular structure computations and by laboratory experiments. PAHs are positively detected by their 3.3, 6.2, 7.7 8.6, 11.3 & 12.7 $μ$m IR emission bands, which are specified by their modes of vibration. A definitive empirical link between the 2175 Å UV extinction, and the PAH IR emission bands, however, is still missing. We present a new sample of hot stars that have both 2175 Å absorption and PAH IR emission. We find significant shifts of the central wavelength of the UV absorption feature, up to 2350 Å, but predominantly in stars that also have IR PAH emission. These UV shifts depend on stellar temperature in a fashion that is similar to the shifts of the 6.2 and 7.7$μ$m PAH IR bands, namely the features are increasingly more red-shifted as the stellar temperature decreases, but only below $\sim 15$ kK. Above 15 kK both UV and IR features retain their nominal values. Moreover, we find a suggestive correlation between the UV and IR shifts. We hypothesize that these similar dependences of both the UV and IR features on stellar temperature hint to a common origin of the two in PAH molecules and may establish the missing link between the UV and IR observations. We further suggest that the shifts depend on molecular size, and that the critical temperature of $\sim 15$ kK above which no shifts are observed is related to the onset of UV driven hot-star winds and their associated shocks.

description: Existing methods for few-shot speaker identification (FSSI) obtain high accuracy, but their computational complexities and model sizes need to be reduced for lightweight applications. In this work, we propose a FSSI method using a lightweight prototypical network with the final goal to implement the FSSI on intelligent terminals with limited resources, such as smart watches and smart speakers. In the proposed prototypical network, an embedding module is designed to perform feature grouping for reducing the memory requirement and computational complexity, and feature interaction for enhancing the representational ability of the learned speaker embedding. In the proposed embedding module, audio feature of each speech sample is split into several low-dimensional feature subsets that are transformed by a recurrent convolutional block in parallel. Then, the operations of averaging, addition, concatenation, element-wise summation and statistics pooling are sequentially executed to learn a speaker embedding for each speech sample. The recurrent convolutional block consists of a block of bidirectional long short-term memory, and a block of de-redundancy convolution in which feature grouping and interaction are conducted too. Our method is compared to baseline methods on three datasets that are selected from three public speech corpora (VoxCeleb1, VoxCeleb2, and LibriSpeech). The results show that our method obtains higher accuracy under several conditions, and has advantages over all baseline methods in computational complexity and model size.
