description: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.25057787Abstract: This study investigates the effects of access to electricity on health capital in a panel of 24 Sub-Saharan African countries over the period 1990-2018. Health capital is measured by the incidence of malaria, under-five mortality rates, and crude death rates. Using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regressions and instrumental variables-two stage least squares (IV-2SLS) method and data from the World Bank 2020 World Development Indicators, we find that access to electricity improves health capital in the region. In light of this result, fostering access to electricity improves health capital and contributes to human capital accumulation in the region.This article appeared in volume 48, number 1 of the Journal of Energy and Development: Idrissa Ouedraogo, Alex Nester Jiya, and Issa Dianda, “On the Effects of Access to Electricity on Health Capital Accumulation in Sub-Saharan Africa,” The Journal of Energy and Development, vol. 48, no. 1 (copyright 2023), pp. 83–107.About the Journal of Energy and Economic Development: This biannual periodical covers international energy and development issues offering perspectives from authors around the world.

description: We evaluated various compositional models, from bag-of-words representations to compositional RNN-based models, on several extrinsic supervised and unsupervised evaluation benchmarks. Our results confirm that weighted vector averaging can outperform context-sensitive models in most benchmarks, but structural features encoded in RNN models can also be useful in certain classification tasks. We analyzed some of the evaluation datasets to identify the aspects of meaning they measure and the characteristics of the various models that explain their performance variance.

description: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.25057382Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) are the future of road transportation in Jordan, replacing internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) as they offer a significant potential for reducing environmental impacts. However, EVs also cause environmental impacts during their life cycle. The purpose of the study is to evaluate using EVs in Jordan in terms of their overall environmental impact and how the vehicle components will be dealt with at their end of life by directing a questionnaire to relevant government entities. Moreover, to identify the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and primary energy consumption of EVs compared with ICEVs, we conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the Jordanian fleet. The scope of this LCA study was to analyze the complete vehicle cycle including production, importing, maintenance, and recycling of the vehicle components at the end-of-life phases for both vehicle types. In addition, the fuel cycle (well-to-wheels) for electrical generation in the Jordanian energy mix was considered in this LCA analysis. The lifetime for both vehicles was assumed to be 150,000 km driving distance. The results show that the energy use and GHG emissions of EVs are 1.2 and 1.06 higher, respectively, than that of ICEVs, the electrical generation source used for charging the EVs, and vehicle driving.This article appeared in volume 48, number 1 of the Journal of Energy and Development: Ghassan Tashtoush, Osama Saadeh, and Ashraf Dawagreh, “Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of Using Electric Vehicles Compared to Conventional Internal Combustion Vehicles: A Case Study in Jordan,” The Journal of Energy and Development, vol. 48, no. 1 (copyright 2023), pp. 51–82.About the Journal of Energy and Economic Development: This biannual periodical covers international energy and development issues offering perspectives from authors around the world.

description: The full spatial distribution of the color fields of two and four static quarks is measured in lattice SU(2) field theory at separations up to 1 fm at beta=2.4. The four-quark case is equivalent to a qbar q qbar q system in SU(2) and is relevant to meson-meson interactions. By subtracting two-body flux tubes from the four-quark distribution we isolate the flux contribution connected with the four-body binding energy. This contribution is further studied using a model for the binding energies. Lattice sum rules for two and four quarks are used to verify the results.

description: Results are presented from a programme of detailed longslit spectroscopic observations of the extended emission-line region (EELR) associated with the powerful radio galaxy PKS 2356-61. The observations have been used to construct spectroscopic datacubes, which yield detailed information on the spatial variations of emission-line ratios across the EELR, together with its kinematic structure. We present an extensive comparison between the data and results obtained from the MAPPINGS II shock ionization code, and show that the physical properties of the line-emitting gas, including its ionization, excitation, dynamics and overall energy budget, are entirely consistent with a scenario involving auto-ionizing shocks as the dominant ionization mechanism. This has the advantage of accounting for the observed EELR properties by means of a single physical process, thereby requiring less free parameters than the alternative scheme involving photoionization by radiation from the active nucleus. Finally, possible mechanisms of shock formation are considered in the context of the dynamics and origin of the gas, specifically scenarios involving infall or accretion of gas during an interaction between the host radio galaxy and a companion galaxy.

description: Following an argument advanced by Feynman, we consider a method for obtaining the effective action which generates the sum of tree diagrams with external physical particles. This technique is applied, in the unbroken λϕ^4 theory, to the derivation of the threshold amplitude for the production of $n$ scalar particles by $n$ initial particles. The leading contributions to the tree amplitude, which become singular in the threshold limit, exhibit a factorial growth with n.

Electroweak vacuum lifetime in two Higgs doublet models

description: We study the stability of neutral electroweak vacua in two Higgs doublet models, and calculate the lifetime of these states when the parameters are such that they are false vacua. As the two Higgs doublet model is invariant under a sign change of both doublets, degenerate true vacua exist. It is shown that this degeneracy, despite the fact that each of these minima locally describes the same physics, can immensely affect their lifetime. We apply these calculations to the parameter space of the models which is allowed by recent LHC searches, and infer combinations of parameters which should be excluded on grounds of a tunneling time inferior to the age of the universe.

description: Business processes can be modeled using a plethora of different paradigms including activity-centric (e.g., imperative, declarative), and data-centric processes.
The former focus on the process activities to be executed as well as their execution order and constraints, whereas the latter deal with the data required to progress during process execution.
Both representations, however, allow describing the same process, but from different viewpoints.
Consequently, a transformation between process representations based on the different paradigms yields promising perspectives for enabling a holistic view on both the behavior and the data perspective of a process and fosters a common understanding of different paradigms.
This paper presents an approach for transforming object-centric processes (i.e., object lifecycle processes and their interactions) into corresponding activity-centric representations modeled in terms of BPMN 2.0.
We present seven transformation rules for mapping an object- to an activity-centric process, illustrated along a running example.
We evaluate the approach based on a proof-of-concept implementation that can automatically perform the necessary transformations and has been applied in multiple scenarios.
Overall, our approach for transforming object-centric processes into BPMN 2.0 models provides new insights into the relationship between the two paradigms and enables a more flexible and effective way of modeling business processes in general.

Bianchi I model as a prototype for a cyclical Universe

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We analyze the dynamics of the Bianchi I model in the presence of stiff matter, an ultrarelativistic component and a small negative cosmological constant. We quantize this model in the framework of the polymer quantum mechanics, in order to introduce cut-off features in the minisuperspace dynamics. We then apply to the polymer Wheeler-DeWitt equation, emerging from the Dirac constraint, an adiabatic approximation a la Vilenkin, which treats the Universe volume as a quasi-classical variable, becoming de facto the dynamical clock for the pure quantum degrees of freedom, here identified in the Universe anisotropies. The main issue of the present analysis consists of determining a cyclical evolution for the Bianchi I model, oscillating between the Big-Bounce induced by the cut-off physics and the turning point due to the small cosmological constant. Furthermore, the mean value of the Universe anisotropy variables remains finite during the whole evolution, including the phase across the Big-Bounce. Such a feature, according to a suitable choice of the initial conditions makes the present cosmological paradigm, a viable scenario for the description of a possible primordial and late phases of the actual Universe.

description: Polymer microparticles are a cornerstone in the field of injectable sustained delivery systems: They allow the entrapment of various types of hydrophobic or hydrophilic drugs including biopharmaceuticals. Microparticles can be prepared from the material of choice and tailored to specific target sizes. Importantly, they can retain the drug at the local administration site to achieve a sustained drug release for long-term therapeutic effects. This review focuses on the role of porosity of microparticles as a tremendously important property. Principles to prepare porous carriers via different techniques and additives are discussed, emphasizing that porosity is not a static property but can be dynamic, e.g., for particles from polylactide or poly(lactide-co-glycolide). Considering the contribution of porosity in the overall assessment of drug carrier systems, as well as their manipulation/alteration post-production such as by pore closing, will enlarge the understanding of polymer microparticles as an important class of modern pharmaceutical dosage forms.
Picard-Fuchs Equations and Whitham Hierarchy in N=2 Supersymmetric SU(r+1) Yang-Mills Theory
Creators: name: Ohta, Yuji
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: In general, Whitham dynamics involves infinitely many parameters called Whitham times, but in the context of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory it can be regarded as a finite system by restricting the number of Whitham times appropriately. For example, in the case of SU(r+1) gauge theory without hypermultiplets, there are r Whitham times and they play an essential role in the theory. In this situation, the generating meromorphic 1-form of the Whitham hierarchy on Seiberg-Witten curve is represented by a finite linear combination of meromorphic 1-forms associated with these Whitham times, but it turns out that there are various differential relations among these differentials. Since these relations can be written only in terms of the Seiberg-Witten 1-form, their consistency conditions are found to give the Picard-Fuchs equations for the Seiberg-Witten periods.

description: Communication and social integration require effective emotional, cognitive, and language processing within the brain. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in impaired emotion processing in a variety of contexts including emotion encoded in facial appearance, prosody, and the linguistic content of messages. Individuals with TBI report difficulty in relationship maintenance and social integration post injury as a result of impairments in communication. Emotional communication is frequently ambiguous or incongruous in presentation and its accurate perception is vital to effective communication and interpersonal relationships. Recognition of ambiguity in emotional communication has not been investigated in individuals with TBI. This study evaluated differences in emotion perception and expression between 12 individuals with TBI and 24 individuals without TBI. Three tasks were utilized: 1) emotion identification in 34 congruous and 66 incongruous emotional sentences, 2) identification of ambiguity in emotion in 34 congruous and 66 incongruous emotional sentences, and 3) verbal fluency with emotion category generation. Participants without brain injury demonstrated increased accuracy in emotion identification and emotional ambiguity identification. Participants without brain injury generated more responses in all verbal fluency categories. Both groups were more accurate in emotion identification of congruous sentences, and more accurate in ambiguity identification in congruous sentences. Participants with TBI showed impaired identification of emotion in sentences, impaired identification of emotional ambiguity in sentences, and a reduced number of responses in verbal fluency tasks when compared to individuals without brain injury. Results are discussed in terms of impact on effective communication for individuals with TBI. These findings support that individuals with TBI are impaired in perception of emotion, including ambiguity in emotional communication, and show reduced output in verbal fluency tasks.

description: We experimentally demonstrate a hybrid configuration for Quantum Key Distribution, that combines the simplicity of Distributed Phase Reference protocols with the self-referencing features and polarization insensitivity of the so-called Plug & Play system. Additionally, all the components are arranged in a server-client scheme to allow for practical key distribution. Blank, coherent pulse pair trains are generated at the reception end of the link by means of a pulse sequence and an unbalanced interferometer, and sent to the other end. The emitter writes the qubits by erasing one of the pulses from the pair as in a Coherent-One Way protocol. Detection, as well as eavesdropping monitoring is performed at the receiver side, using the same interferometer that was used to generate the initial phase-referenced pulses.

description: We investigate the phase structure of lattice QCD for general number of flavors $N_F$. Based on numerical data combined with the results of the perturbation theory we propose the following picture: When $N_F \ge 17$, there is only one IR fixed point at vanishing gauge coupling, i.e., the theory in the continuum limit is trivial. On the other hand, when $16 \ge N_F \ge 7$, there is a non-trivial fixed point. Therefore, the theory is non-trivial with anomalous dimensions, however, without quark confinement. Theories which satisfy both quark confinement and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the continuum limit exist only for $N_F \le 6$.

Super-ultralow temperature laser cooling via interacting dark-state resonances

description: We propose a laser cooling mechanism that leads to a temperature significantly lower than the single-photon recoil limit, about $4\times 10^{-4}\,E_{r}$. This mechanism benefits from sharp and high-contrast spectra which are induced by interacting dark-state resonances. It is theoretically demonstrated that four-level atoms illuminated by two counter-propagating probe beams and two additional beams directed perpendicularly to other two, exhibit new cooling effects; For red detuned probe lasers, atoms can be subject to a strong viscous force with an extremely small diffusion, characteristic of heating caused by the stochastic nature of spontaneous emission processes. By quantum mechanical simulations, we then find that the lowest temperature approaches 0.3 nK for the case of mercury, significantly lower than the recoil energy limit. A further advantage of our proposed scheme is that there is no need for an external magnetic field or a strong external confining potential.

description: We present 14 nights of medium resolution (1-2Å) spectroscopy of the eclipsing cataclysmic variable UU Aquarii obtained during a high accretion state in 1995 August-October. UU Aqr appears to be an SW Sextantis star, as noted by Baptista, Steiner, & Horne (1996), and we discuss its spectroscopic behavior in the context of the SW Sex phenomenon. Emission line equivalent width curves, Doppler tomography, and line profile simulation provide evidence for the presence of a bright spot at the impact site of the accretion stream with the edge of the disk, and a non-axisymmetric, vertically- and azimuthally-extended absorbing structure in the disk. The absorption has maximum depth in the emission lines around orbital phase 0.8, but is present from $ϕ\approx0.4$ to $ϕ\approx0.95$. An origin is explored for this absorbing structure (as well as the other spectroscopic behavior of UU Aqr) in terms of the explosive impact of the accretion stream with the disk.

description: Research on performing conceptual data modeling finds conceptual modelers to exhibit distinct procedural patterns of data modeling:
 for example, when performing a data modeling task applying the Entity-Relationship Model, a repeatedly observed pattern refers to first modeling entity types, attributes and their data types, then relationship types and their cardinalities in a subsequent step.
 To identify patterns in data modeling processes, we cluster and visualize sequences of modeling activities of 22 conceptual data modelers at different levels of data modeling expertise.
 In particular, we process modeler-tool interactions in a browser-based modeling tool to visualize sequences regarding the specific modeling activity of adding entity types, attributes and relationship types to a data model, and use hierarchical clustering to identify procedural patterns based on their similarity.
 We find procedural patterns to follow a distinct top-down and sequential way of proceeding and identify modeling sequences with a separate phase for modeling relationship types.
 Our findings prepare for designing tailored modeler tool support and inform instructors and learners on the process of conceptual data modeling.

description: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.25055597Abstract: This paper employs econometric analysis to quantify the potential profit wind farms can receive by allocating excess wind energy to power Bitcoin mining machines. Cryptocurrency mining consumes a substantial amount of electricity worldwide, and wind energy produces a significant amount of energy that is lost because the intermittent nature of the resource. Supply does not always match consumer demand. By combining the weaknesses of these two technologies we can improve efficiency, and a sustainable path to mine cryptocurrencies. This paper uses historical wind energy from the ERCOT network in Texas and cryptocurrency data from 2000-2021, to create 4-year return on investment projections. Our research model incorporates the price of Bitcoin, the price of the miner, the hash rate of the miner relative to the network hash rate, the block reward, the Bitcoin transaction fees awarded to the miners, the mining pool fees, cost of the electricity and the percentage of time the miner will be running to demonstrate that wind farms generate enough excess energy to profitably mine Bitcoin. Excess wind energy can be used as a financial battery which can utilize wasted electricity by changing it into economic energy. The findings of our research determine that wind energy producers can earn profit while not taking away much, if any, electricity from the grid. According to our results, Bitcoin mining could give as much as 1,347% and 805% return on investment with the starting dates of November 1, 2021 and November 1, 2022, respectively, using wind farm curtailment. This paper is helpful to policy makers and investors to determine efficient and sustainable ways to power our economic future. This paper proposes a practical solution for the problem of crypto mining energy consumption and creates a more sustainable energy future for Bitcoin.This article appeared in volume 48, number 1 of the Journal of Energy and Development: John Dorrell, Abhilash Kancharla, and Matthew Ambrosia, “Green Crypto Mining: A Quantitative Analysis of the Profitability of Bitcoin Mining Using Excess Wind Energy,” The Journal of Energy and Development, vol. 48, no. 1 (copyright 2023), pp. 1–22.About the Journal of Energy and Economic Development: This biannual periodical covers international energy and development issues offering perspectives from authors around the world.

description: We present an investigation of the dependence of galaxy kinematics on the environment for a sample of 94 star-forming galaxies at $z\sim0.9$ from the ORELSE survey. ORELSE is a large photometric and spectroscopic campaign dedicated to mapping out and characterizing galaxy properties across a full range of environments in 15 fields containing large-scale structures (LSSs) in a redshift range of $0.6 < z < 1.3$. We constrained the rotation velocity for our kinematic sample in an ORELSE field, containing the SC1604 supercluster, by fitting high-resolution semi-analytical models to the data. We constructed the stellar-mass/B-band Tully-Fisher relation and found no dependence of the intrinsic scatter on both local and global environment. Moreover, we compared the stellar-to-dynamical mass ratio ($M_\ast/M_{dyn}$) of SC1604 galaxies to those residing in less dense local environment by leveraging data from the HR-COSMOS sample. We found that, at fixed stellar mass, SC1604 galaxies have $\sim30\%$ smaller dynamical masses on average. By comparing the distributions of the galaxy parameters that define $M_{dyn}$ (i.e., circular velocity and the characteristic radius $r_{2.2}$) between SC1604 and HR-COSMOS, we found that smaller dynamical masses are mostly caused by smaller $r_{2.2}$ for SC1604 galaxies. We also observed that SC1604 galaxies in general show $\sim20\%$ lower stellar specific angular momentum ($j_\ast$) with respect to the HR-COSMOS sample. Adopting literature estimates for (1) the excess rate of galaxy-galaxy mergers in intermediate/high-density environments and (2) the average amount of $j_\ast$ loss per merger event, we investigated the possibility that galaxy mergers are mainly responsible for the loss of angular momentum in higher density environments.

description: In-medium interactions of a particle in a hot plasma are considered in the framework of thermal field theory. The formalism to calculate gauge invariant rates for photon and dilepton production from the medium is given. In the application to a QED plasma, astrophysical consequences are pointed out. The photon production rate from strongly interacting quarks in the quark--gluon plasma, which might be formed in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, is calculated in the previously unaccessible regime of photon energies of the order of the plasma temperature. For temperatures below the chiral phase transition, an effective field theory incorporating dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is employed, and perturbative QCD at higher temperatures. A smooth transition between both regions is obtained. The relevance to the soft photon problem and to high energy heavy ion experiments is discussed.

description: Manipulating physical properties using the spin degree of freedom constitutes a major part of modern condensed matter physics and is very important for spintronics devices. Using the newly discovered two dimensional van der Waals ferromagnetic CrI3 as a prototypic material, we theoretically demonstrated a giant magneto band-structure (GMB) effect whereby a change of magnetization direction significantly modifies the electronic band structure. Our density functional theory calculations and model analysis reveal that rotating the magnetic moment of CrI3 from out-of-plane to in-plane causes a direct-to-indirect bandgap transition, inducing a magnetic field controlled photoluminescence. Moreover, our results show a significant change of Fermi surface with different magnetization directions, giving rise to giant anisotropic magnetoresistance. Additionally, the spin reorientation is found to modify the topological states. Given that a variety of properties are determined by band structures, our predicted GMB effect in CrI3 opens a new paradigm for spintronics applications.

description: We study power boundedness and related properties such as mean ergodicity for (weighted) composition operators on function spaces defined by local properties. As a main application of our general approach we characterize when (weighted) composition operators are power bounded, topologizable, and (uniformly) mean ergodic on kernels of certain linear partial differential operators including elliptic operators as well as non-degenrate parabolic operators. Moreover, under mild assumptions on the weight and the symbol we give a characterisation of those weighted composition operators on the Fréchet space of continuous functions on a locally compact, $σ$-compact, non-compact Hausdorff space which are generators of strongly continuous semigroups on these spaces.

description: In these lectures, we introduce finite temperature QCD on the lattice to non-experts of the subject. We first formulate lattice QCD both at zero and finite temperatures. Then a section is devoted to the topic of improved lattice actions which are becoming an essential ingredient of precision studies of QCD on the lattice. We then discuss about finite temperature SU(3) gauge theory, i.e. QCD without dynamical quarks (quenched QCD). Finally, we report recent status of studies in full QCD taking into account the effects of dynamical quarks.

Rare-earth/transition-metal magnets at finite temperature: Self-interaction-corrected relativistic density functional theory in the disordered local moment picture

description: Atomic-scale computational modeling of technologically relevant permanent magnetic materials faces two key challenges. First, a material's magnetic properties depend sensitively on temperature, so the calculations must account for thermally induced magnetic disorder. Second, the most widely-used permanent magnets are based on rare-earth elements, whose highly localized 4$f$ electrons are poorly described by standard electronic structure methods. Here, we take two established theories, the disordered local moment picture of thermally induced magnetic disorder and self-interaction-corrected density functional theory, and devise a computational framework to overcome these challenges. Using the new approach, we calculate magnetic moments and Curie temperatures of the rare-earth cobalt (RECo$_5$) family for RE=Y--Lu. The calculations correctly reproduce the experimentally measured trends across the series and confirm that, apart from the hypothetical compound EuCo$_5$, SmCo$_5$ has the strongest magnetic properties at high temperature. An order-parameter analysis demonstrates that varying the RE has a surprisingly strong effect on the Co--Co magnetic interactions determining the Curie temperature, even when the lattice parameters are kept fixed. We propose the origin of this behavior is a small contribution to the density from $f$-character electrons located close to the Fermi level.
