description: Pauli-projected random gaussians are used as a representation to solve the shell model equations. The elements of the representation are chosen by a variational procedure. This scheme is particularly suited to describe cluster formation and cluster decay in nuclei. It overcomes the basis-size problem of the ordinary shell model and the technical difficulties of the cluster-configuration shell model. The model reproduces the $α$-decay width of $^{212}$Po satisfactorily.

description: The interface between an unstable state and a stable state usually develops a single confined front travelling with constant velocity into the unstable state. Recently, the splitting of such an interface into {\em two} fronts propagating with {\em different} velocities was observed numerically in a magnetic system. The intermediate state is unstable and grows linearly in time. We first establish rigorously the existence of this phenomenon, called ``dual front,'' for a class of structurally unstable one-component models. Then we use this insight to explain dual fronts for a generic two-component reaction-diffusion system, and for the magnetic system.

Writing for the Caliphate: The Unique Necklace by Ibn ʿAbd Rabbih*

Year: 2020

description: This study undertakes a political reading of the ʿIqd al-farīd by Ibn ʿAbd Rabbih (246/860-328/940). It proposes to identify this adab encyclopaedia, composed in Cordova as a “caliphal” composition, by interpreting its conceptual agenda and compositional structure against the background of (neo-) Umayyad caliphal ideology as reconstructed by Janina Safran and Gabriel Martinez-Gros. It reads the text as “imperialistic” in its claim to represent Umayyad leadership, as unique and universal, against that of its contemporary rivals, the Abbasids and Fatimids. The Umayyads in al-Andalus suffered from a peculiarly precarious legitimacy, since, in contrast to the Abbasids and Fatimids, they could not refer to a kinship link to the Prophet. Their territory was also situated far outside the central lands of Islam and did not dominate the Holy Sites in the Ḥijāz (required for a caliph), which was a source of embarrassment. Therefore, there was a particularly strong need for a consistent ideology to compensate for this weakness. The study concentrates on three arguments. First, that the ʿIqd al-Farīd was written by a man of the Umayyad regime under the tutelage of the caliph; second, that the ʿIqd reflects a cultural program that aimed at educating Cordovan elites according to cultural models set forth by caliphal Baghdad; and third, that, as an encyclopaedia, it reflects an inclusive, globalizing, culturally imperialistic program that matched the contemporaneous caliphal universal aspirations of the Umayyad regime.

description: We report on the experimental observation of period multiplication in parametrically driven tunable superconducting resonators. We modulate the magnetic flux through a superconducting quantum interference device, attached to a quarter-wavelength resonator, with frequencies $nω$ close to multiples, $n=2,\,3,\,4,\,5$, of the resonator fundamental mode and observe intense output radiation at $ω$. The output field manifests $n$-fold degeneracy with respect to the phase, the $n$ states are phase shifted by $2π/n$ with respect to each other. Our demonstration verifies the theoretical prediction by Guo et al. in PRL 111, 205303 (2013), and paves the way for engineering complex macroscopic quantum cat states with microwave photons.

description: We consider a model of D-dimensional tethered manifold interacting by excluded volume in R^d with a single point. By use of intrinsic distance geometry, we first provide a rigorous definition of the analytic continuation of its perturbative expansion for arbitrary D, 0 < D < 2. We then construct explicitly a renormalization operation, ensuring renormalizability to all orders. This is the first example of mathematical construction and renormalization for an interacting extended object with continuous internal dimension, encompassing field theory.

description: Massive galaxy clusters are now found as early as 3 billion years after the Big Bang, containing stars that formed at even earlier epochs. The high-redshift progenitors of these galaxy clusters, termed 'protoclusters', are identified in cosmological simulations with the highest dark matter overdensities. While their observational signatures are less well defined compared to virialized clusters with a substantial hot intra-cluster medium (ICM), protoclusters are expected to contain extremely massive galaxies that can be observed as luminous starbursts. Recent claimed detections of protoclusters hosting such starbursts do not support the kind of rapid cluster core formation expected in simulations because these structures contain only a handful of starbursting galaxies spread throughout a broad structure, with poor evidence for eventual collapse into a protocluster. Here we report that the source SPT2349-56 consists of at least 14 gas-rich galaxies all lying at z = 4.31 based on sensitive observations of carbon monoxide and ionized carbon. We demonstrate that each of these galaxies is forming stars between 50 and 1000 times faster than our own Milky Way, and all are located within a projected region only $\sim$ 130 kiloparsecs in diameter. This galaxy surface density is more than 10 times the average blank field value (integrated over all redshifts) and $>$1000 times the average field volume density. The velocity dispersion ($\sim$ 410 km s$^{-1}$) of these galaxies and enormous gas and star formation densities suggest that this system represents a galaxy cluster core at an advanced stage of formation when the Universe was only 1.4 billion years old. A comparison with other known protoclusters at high redshifts shows that SPT2349-56 is a uniquely massive and dense system that could be building one of the most massive structures in the Universe today.

description: When the hydrogen atom moves, the proton current generates a magnetic field which interacts with the hydrogen electron. A simple analyze shows that this interaction between the hydrogen momentum and the electron is of order of $α^3\frac{v}{c}m$, where $α$ is the fine structure constant, $v$ is the atom velocity, $c$ is the speed of light, and $m$ is the electron mass. Using the Bethe-Salpeter equation, the two velocity-dependent operators of this order are derived for the hydrogen velocity $\frac{v}{c}<>1$ is a numerical factor depended on $n$ and $j$. An experiment used the orbital motion of the Earth, is proposed to test the theory developed.

description: We discuss the freedom in the background field (vacuum) on top of which the solitons are built. If the Hirota bilinear form of a soliton equation is given by $A(D_{\vec x})\bd GF=0,\, B(D_{\vec x})(\bd FF - \bd GG)=0$ where both $A$ and $B$ are even polynomials in their variables, then there can be a continuum of vacua, parametrized by a vacuum angle $ϕ$. The ramifications of this freedom on the construction of one- and two-soliton solutions are discussed. We find, e.g., that once the angle $ϕ$ is fixed and we choose $u=\arctan G/F$ as the physical quantity, then there are four different solitons (or kinks) connecting the vacuum angles $\pmϕ$, $\pmϕ\pm\Pi2$ (defined modulo $π$). The most interesting result is the existence of a ``ghost'' soliton; it goes over to the vacuum in isolation, but interacts with ``normal'' solitons by giving them a finite phase shift.

description: The 2014 proclamation of a new caliphate headed by Abū Bakr al-Baghdādī by the so-called Islamic State1 sparked renewed interest in the history of the caliphal institution. In 2016, two books by renowned scholars appeared, offering a general overview of the subject addressed to both specialists and a larger audience.2 Previous recent studies had focused on specific historical aspects, such as the presence of messianic trends in the caliphate’s conception and the extent of the caliph’s authority.3 The abolition of the Ottoman caliphate in 1924 has also been a subject of analysis.4 That abolition—not the first one to happen in the history of Islam, as we shall see—caused special commotion among different sectors of the Islamic community, including Egyptian intellectuals who were re-thinking the place of Islam in the modern world, and Indian Muslims under British colonial rule.

Off-Shell NN Potential and Triton Binding Energy
Creators: name: Song, Y.
name: Machleidt, R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The NONLOCAL Bonn-B potential predicts 8.0 MeV binding energy for the triton (in a charge-dependent 34-channel Faddeev calculation) which is about 0.4 MeV more than the predictions by LOCAL NN potentials. We pin down origin and size of the nonlocality in the Bonn potential, in analytic and numeric form. The nonlocality is due to the use of the correct off-shell Feynman amplitude of one-boson-exchange avoiding the commonly used on-shell approximations which yield the local potentials. We also illustrate how this off-shell behavior leads to more binding energy. We emphasize that the increased binding energy is not due to on-shell differences (differences in the fit of the NN data or phase shifts). In particular, the Bonn-B potential reproduces accurately the $ε_1$ mixing parameter up to 350 MeV as determined in the recent Nijmegen multi-energy NN phase-shift analysis. Adding the relativistic effect from the relativistic nucleon propagators in the Faddeev equations, brings the Bonn-B result up to 8.2 MeV triton binding. This leaves a difference of only 0.3 MeV to experiment, which may possibly be explained by refinements in the treatment of relativity and the inclusion of other nonlocalities (e.~g., quark-gluon exchange at short range). Thus, it is conceivable that a realistic NN potential which describes the NN data up to 300 MeV correctly may explain the triton binding energy without recourse to 3-N forces; relativity would play a major role for this result.

Micro-aerial vehicles for remote sensing in multi-terrain environments
Creators: name: Sequeira Guedes Tristany Farinha, Andre
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Remote sensing missions are crucial for contemporary human activity and our understanding of local and global Earth processes. Robotics-based methods and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have been extremely successful in this effort. However, they still struggle to simultaneously cover an appropriate range of length and time scales, further requiring secondary manual sampling methods to fully describe a system. This thesis covers the development and field-use of UAVs with the capability to interact with their environment, for remote acquisition of improved datasets (i.e. no secondary methods are required) in complex environments. In particular, I develop aerial-aquatic locomotion and sensor launching strategies with the objective of groundtruthing remote sensing data and extending UAV-based remote sensing beyond flight time. Starting with underlying locomotion principles, I employ both numerical and experimental approaches in the design of different robotic solutions capable of interacting with their environment. When possible, these are also demonstrated in field use, targeting relevant sensing applications. In total, 4 different robots are developed and analysed: 1) An aquatic jet thruster is tested in cluttered aquatic environments, and demonstrates stability in water, jetting and gliding. 2) A hybrid flying-sailing vehicle (SailMAV) demonstrates long range autonomous sailing, and its transition to flight is investigated. In the field, I leverage the contact with water surface in sailing to measure the energy flux between lake-water and the atmosphere, and to perform acoustic biodiversity monitoring of underwater-life and bird populations. 3) A dual multicopter-submarine system (MEDUSA) demonstrates robust underwater sample recovery at depth. In the field, the underwater locomotion component enables me to take vertical profiles of Chlorophyll-a in freshwater lakes. 4) A multicoplter with integrated sensor launcher deploys sensors in cluttered, industrial and natural environments. In the field, optimal launch prediction allows me to deploy sensors in the forest high canopy and perform acoustic monitoring of bird populations, showing that current studies are highly biased towards the ground-level. This thesis demonstrates a number of methodologies that extend the data acquisition capabilities of aerial robots. The presented methodologies can be employed towards other remote sensing applications, and the numerical and experimental results ultimately be employed in the development of similar methods.

description: The application of LTE technology has evolved from infrastructure-based deployments in licensed bands to new use cases covering ad hoc, device-to-device communications and unlicensed band operation. Vehicular communication is an emerging field of particular interest for LTE, covering in our understanding both automotive (cars) as well as unmanned aerial vehicles. Existing commercial equipment is designed for infrastructure making it unsuitable for vehicular applications requiring low weight and unlicensed band support (e.g. 5.9 GHz ITS-band). In this work, we present tinyLTE, a system design which provides fully autonomous, multi-purpose and ultra-compact LTE cells by utilizing existing open source eNB and EPC implementations. Due to its small form factor and low weight, the tinyLTE system enables mobile deployment on board of cars and drones as well as smooth integration with existing roadside infrastructure. Additionally, the standalone design allows for systems to be chained in a multi-hop configuration. The paper describes the lean and low-cost design concept and implementation followed by a performance evaluation for single and two-hop configurations at 5.9 GHz. The results from both lab and field experiments validate the feasibility of the tinyLTE approach and demonstrate its potential to even support real-time vehicular applications (e.g. with a lowest average end-to-end latency of around 7 ms in the lab experiment).

description: The Kazakov-Migdal model, if considered as a functional of external fields, can be always represented as an expansion over characters of $GL$ group. The integration over "matter fields" can be interpreted as going over the {\it model} (the space of all highest weight representations) of $GL$. In the case of compact unitary groups the integrals should be substituted by {\it discrete} sums over weight lattice. The $D=0$ version of the model is the Generalized Kontsevich integral, which in the above-mentioned unitary (discrete) situation coincides with partition function of the $2d$ Yang-Mills theory with the target space of genus $g=0$ and $m=0,1,2$ holes. This particular quantity is always a bilinear combination of characters and appears to be a Toda-lattice $τ$-function. (This is generalization of the classical statement that individual $GL$ characters are always singular KP $τ$-functions.) The corresponding element of the Universal Grassmannian is very simple and somewhat similar to the one, arising in investigations of the $c=1$ string models. However, under certain circumstances the formal sum over representations should be evaluated by steepest descent method and this procedure leads to some more complicated elements of Grassmannian. This "Kontsevich phase" as opposed to the simple "character phase" deserves further investigation.

description: Claudius Ptolemy’s second-century Geography places the name Macoraba in the west of the Arabian Peninsula. There is a consensus in Orientalist scholarship that Macoraba is Mecca, and to a lesser extent that the name derives from an Ancient South Arabian word for “temple.” This paper traces the identification of Macoraba as Mecca back to Samuel Bochart in 1646 and assesses the changing interpretations of Macoraba since then. It concludes that no satisfactory derivation has been proposed to explain the difference between the names Mecca and Macoraba, and argues that the consensus should now be abandoned or more rigorously defended.

description: Building Trust in Academic Research through Open Data

Trust is the bedrock of academic research, and it is built on collaboration, transparency, and reproducibility. Open data boost the listed elements by allowing complete visibility into the research methodologies, allowing other researchers to verify findings and replicate studies. It promotes collaboration within and across disciplines as well as institutions, leading to innovative research outputs, and engages the public by making research findings accessible.

DataCite, a global community and non-profit membership organization, plays a crucial role in this effort by providing services and tools that support open data practices in academia. This helps to address challenges such as data quality, privacy, and the need for robust infrastructure and standards must be addressed to build trust effectively. 

DataCite, as a key player in the open research space, provides DOI registration for datasets and a wide range of other research outputs and resources. DOIs can be registered through an intuitive user interface, or registration can be automated  by integration with the DataCite API. A comprehensive metadata schema (currently Metadata Schema 4.5) ensures standardization and discoverability across research outputs. In addition, DataCite is actively involved in the development of metrics and dashboards to visualize connections between different research entities. These tools ensure data is discoverable, citable, and trackable, enhancing transparency,trust, and FAIRness. 

In this talk, we will show case studies of successful implementations in sub-Saharan Africa that highlight the positive impact of open data practices on research transparency and reproducibility. Building a culture of trust through open data is essential for the credibility and integrity of academic research, and DataCite's tools and services are pivotal in achieving this goal.

Outgassing on stagnant-lid super-Earths

description: We explore volcanic outgassing on purely rocky, stagnant-lid exoplanets of different interior structures, compositions, thermal states, and age. We focus on planets in the mass range of 1-8 ME (Earth masses). We derive scaling laws to quantify first- and second-order influences of these parameters on volcanic outgassing after 4.5 Gyrs of evolution. Given commonly observed astrophysical data of super-Earths, we identify a range of possible interior structures and compositions by employing Bayesian inference modelling. [..] The identified interiors are subsequently used as input for two-dimensional (2-D) convection models to study partial melting, depletion, and outgassing rates of CO2. In total, we model depletion and outgassing for an extensive set of more than 2300 different super-Earth cases. We find that there is a mass range for which outgassing is most efficient (~2--3 ME, depending on thermal state) and an upper mass where outgassing becomes very inefficient (~5--7 \ME, depending on thermal state). [..] In summary, depletion and outgassing are mainly influenced by planet mass and thermal state. Interior structure and composition only moderately affect outgassing. The majority of outgassing occurs before 4.5 Gyrs, especially for planets below 3 ME. We conclude that for stagnant-lid planets, (1) compositional and structural properties have secondary influence on outgassing compared to planet mass and thermal state, and (2) confirm that there is a mass range for which outgassing is most efficient and an upper mass limit, above which no significant outgassing can occur. Our predicted trend of CO2-atmospheric masses can be observationally tested for exoplanets. These findings and our provided scaling laws are an important step in order to provide interpretative means for upcoming missions such as, e.g., JWST and E-ELT, that aim at characterizing exoplanet atmospheres.

Next to the standard one-boson-exchange parts, the model includes the pion-meson-exchange potentials due to the parallel and crossed-box diagrams, as well as the one-pair and two-pair diagrams, vertices for which can be identified with similar interactions appearing in chiral-symmetric Lagrangians. Although the ESC potential is still under construction, it already gives an excellent description of all $N\!N$ scattering data below 350 MeV with $χ^{2}/{\rm datum}=1.3$.

description: The Communicable Diseases, Epidemiology and Surveillance (CDES) branch, Victorian Government Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), works closely with the Microbiological Diagnostic Unit Public Health Laboratory (MDU) to conduct surveillance of communicable diseases in Victoria. From February 2018 to December 2019, I attended field placements at both CDES and MDU. This thesis comprises projects which together meet the requirements for the Masters of Philosophy (Applied Epidemiology) (MAE). The projects include: an analysis to assess changes in the epidemiology of invasive pneumococcal disease in Victoria, 2008-2018; an evaluation of the surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in Victoria; a cross-sectional study of the genomic epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant enterococci, Victoria, November 2018; investigation of an outbreak of salmonellosis at a Mother's day lunch in regional Victoria, and recruitment of case-controls for a multi-jurisdictional outbreak investigation of hepatitis A. In addition, this thesis describes teaching activities undertaken as part of the MAE.

description: In this paper, we explore quantum interference in molecular conductance from the point of view of graph theory and walks on lattices. By virtue of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem for characteristic polynomials and the Coulson-Rushbrooke pairing theorem for alternant hydrocarbons, it is possible to derive a finite series expansion of the Green's function for electron transmission in terms of the odd powers of the vertex adjacency matrix or H{ü}ckel matrix. This means that only odd-length walks on a molecular graph contribute to the conductivity through a molecule. Thus, if there are only even-length walks between two atoms, quantum interference is expected to occur in the electron transport between them. However, even if there are only odd-length walks between two atoms, a situation may come about where the contributions to the QI of some odd-length walks are canceled by others, leading to another class of quantum interference. For non-alternant hydrocarbons, the finite Green's function expansion may include both even and odd powers. Nevertheless, QI can in some circumstances come about for non-alternants, from the cancellation of odd and even-length walk terms. We report some progress, but not a complete resolution of the problem of understanding the coefficients in the expansion of the Green's function in a power series of the adjacency matrix, these coefficients being behind the cancellations that we have mentioned. And we introduce a perturbation theory for transmission as well as some potentially useful infinite power series expansions of the Green's function.

description: We formulate the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equations for the closed (periodic boundary conditions) $A^{(2)}_2$ quantum spin chain in an external magnetic field, in the (noncritical) regime where the anisotropy parameter $η$ is real. In the limit $η\to 0$, we recover the TBA equations of the antiferromagnetic su(3)-invariant chain in the fundamental representation. We solve these equations for low temperature and small field, and calculate the specific heat and magnetic susceptibility.

description: The contributions to this fourth issue of al-ʿUṣūr al-Wusṭā (UW) in its new (online, open-access, peerreviewed) format includes, alongside a set of article-length studies, eight book reviews, including a contribution by Peter Brown (Princeton University); three conference reports; a short notice by Sean Anthony; and Elton Daniel’s obituary of the late and much lamented Ehsan Yarshater. We are particularly delighted to introduce a new feature, a thematic dossier guest edited by Maribel Fierro and Patrice Cressier, entitled “Formulating the Caliphate in the Islamic West: Umayyads, Ḥammūdids, and Almohads.” The dossier comprises five full-length articles preceded by a substantial introduction. Given that the Islamic West—the Maghreb, Sicily, and al-Andalus—has seldom received the attention it deserves in Anglo-American scholarship, we are particularly glad to present these studies.

description: We first review the properties of the conventional $τ$-functions of the KP and Toda-lattice hierarchies. A straightforward generalization is then discussed. It corresponds to passing from differential to finite-difference equations; it does not involve however the concept of operator-valued $τ$-function nor the one associated with non-Cartanian (level $k\ne1$) algebras. The present study could be useful to understand better $q$-free fields and their relation to ordinary free fields.

Modeling consumer behaviour in the presence of network effects
Creators: name: Maldonado, Felipe
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Consumer choice models are a key component in fields such as Revenue Management and Transport Logistics, where the demands for certain products or services are assumed to follow a particular form, and sellers or market-makers use that information to adjust their strategies accordingly, choosing for example which products to display (assortment problem) or their prices (pricing problem). In the last couple of decades, online markets have taken a lot of relevance, providing a setting where consumers can compare easily different products, before deciding to buy them. More information is now available, and the purchasing decisions not only depend on the quality, prices and availability of the products, but also on what previous consumers think about them (phenomenon commonly known as Network Effects). Hence, in order to create a suitable model for this kind of market, it is relevant to understand how the collective decisions affect the market evolution. In this thesis we consider a particular subset of those online markets, cultural markets, where the products are for example songs, video games or ebooks. This kind of market has the special feature that its products have unlimited supply (since they are just a digital copy), and therefore we can exploit this in our models, to justify assumptions of the asymptotic behaviour of the market. We study some variations of the traditional Multinomial Logit (MNL) model, characterising the behaviour of consumers, where their purchasing decisions are affected by the quality and prices (initially fixed) of the available products, as well as their visibilities in the market interface and the consumption patterns of previous users. We focus particularly on the parameters associated to the network effects, where depending on the strength of the network effects, it is possible to explain: herd behaviours, where an alternative overpowers the rest; as well as more well-distributed settings, where all the alternatives receive enough attention giving a notion of fairness, since higher quality products get a larger market share. Finally, using the model where market shares are distributed according to the quality of the products, we study pricing strategies, where sellers can either collaborate or compete. We analyse the effect of both type of strategies into the choice model.

description: Local condition that imply the no-hair property of black holes are completed. The conditions take the form of constraints on the geometry of the 2-dimensional crossover surface of black hole horizon. They imply also the axial symmetry without the rigidity theorem. This is the new result contained in this letter. The family of the solutions to our constraints is 2-dimensional and can be parametrized by the area and angular momentum. The constraints are induced by our assumption that the horizon is of the Petrov type D. Our result applies to all the bifurcated Killing horizons: inner/outer black hole horizons as well as cosmological horizons. Vacuum spacetimes with a given cosmological constant can be reconstructed from our solutions via Racz's black hole holograph.

Monte Carlo modelling and radiation measurement with ATAGS, the XArray, and SATURN at CARIBU

description: The CAlifornium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), USA allows access to, and measurement of, a broad range of neutron-rich nuclei with high intensities and purity. These nuclei are important test cases to expand our understanding of atomic nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysical processes and nuclear energy application. The thesis project encompasses the measurement of short-lived radioactive nuclei from CARIBU using various techniques, including Total Absorption Gamma-ray Spectroscopy (TAGS), gamma-ray coincidence spectroscopy and beta-decay spectroscopy. The two detectors used - the ATAGS spectrometer and the XArray and SATURN decay-spectroscopy station (called XSAT as a combined system) - required complex Monte Carlo radiation transport models in order to interpret the results of recent experiments. The TAGS technique was implemented at CARIBU by the recommissioning of a large, well-type NaI(Tl) scintillator detector. The detector performance was evaluated through testing of the well-known cases of 141Cs and 140Cs. This experimental program was extended to investigate the less-well-known beta-feeding intensities of 141Xe, 140Xe and 104mNb/104Nb. In addition, a Monte Carlo model of XSAT was constructed, validated and applied to the specific cases of 134Sb, 134mSb, 92Rb, 104Nb and 106Nb in this work. This enabled the determination of the 134mSb/134Sb branching ratio resulting from 252Cf decay, measurement of 92Rb decay with implications for the so-called 'anti-neutrino anomaly', and the interpretation of the complex spectroscopy following the beta-decay of 104Nb->104Mo and 106Nb->106Mo. This Monte Carlo modelling was a key element in obtaining and interpreting results from each of these three experiments.

description: The methods of conformal field theory are used to obtain the series of exact solutions of the fundamental equations of the theory of turbulence. The basic conjecture, proved to be self-consistent ,is the conformal invariance of the inertial range. The resulting physical picture is different from the standard one , since the enstrophy transfer is catalyzed by the large scale motions. The theory gives some unambiguous predictions for the correlations in the inertial range.
