description: About one-fourth of adults worldwide are affected with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a diverse and dynamic liver condition. Simple steatosis in NAFLD may develop into nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which may develop into cirrhosis, liver decompensation, and hepatocellular cancer. A large body of research demonstrates that NAFLD is linked not just to a higher risk of liver-related complications but also to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. The risk of death from any cause was increased in patients with NAFLD. Lean NAFLD is a symptom of NAFLD in individuals with body mass index (BMI) <25 kg/m2 or <23 kg/m2 for Asians, constituting around 20% of all NAFLD patients and about 10% of lean persons. As people with NAFLD and a normal BMI typically have less severe liver disease, it is generally thought that their clinical outcomes will be less severe than those of those with elevated BMI. Contradictory findings, however, have come from recent investigations. According to a research of 466 NAFLD patients, the lean group had a higher incidence of cirrhosis than the overweight group. Patients with lean NAFLD appeared to have a healthier metabolic profile than their overweight or obese counterparts in a multicenter study of 1090 individuals with biopsy-proven NAFLD. Yet, compared to those who had NAFLD who were obese or overweight, those with lean NAFLD had a significantly increased risk of dying or receiving a liver transplant. Therefore, our systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to comprehensively assess the association of a lean BMI and the risks of all-cause and cause-specific mortality among patients with NAFLD by pooling HR of cohort studies.

description: Current debates on climate change have led to an increased demand for sustainable commodities. Serving this demand, sustainability certification schemes and eco-friendly labels have become prominent mechanisms of climate governance. Smallholder farmers in Jambi province, Indonesia, producing palm oil and rubber as the two dominant smallholder crops, are impacted by this distal demand. Zimmerer et al. (2018) suggest analyzing the potential sustainability in such a context with the multilevel smallholder telecoupling framework. Applying this framework to case studies from Jambi province, our first case reveals that smallholder certification for so-called sustainable palm oil does not necessarily influence smallholder towards more sustainable management practices. One explanation might be a discrepancy in sustainability perception between sender and receiver systems. The second case is the setup of an allegedly eco-friendly rubber plantation. The establishment of this model plantation is implemented by a transnational corporation in collaboration with a nature conservation organization, impacting the access to land for adjacent smallholders. The struggle over access to land is not only negotiated between smallholders and the corporation producing “eco-friendly” rubber but also between smallholders and big land mammals lacking access to land since the rubber plantation began to be established. We argue that the concept of sustainability as demanded by the receiving system does not mirror management practices in the sending system, even though the products reach the Global North as supposedly socially and climate-friendly. The smallholder telecoupling framework is helpful for assessing potential sustainability but can be expanded towards conflictive spillovers, second order effects, and a mismatch in sustainability perceptions in order to draw a more comprehensive picture.

description: The Oja median is one of several extensions of the univariate median to the multivariate case. It has many nice properties, but is computationally demanding. In this paper, we first review the properties of the Oja median and compare it to other multivariate medians. Afterwards we discuss four algorithms to compute the Oja median, which are implemented in our R-package OjaNP. Besides these algorithms, the package contains also functions to compute Oja signs, Oja signed ranks, Oja ranks, and the related scatter concepts. To illustrate their use, the corresponding multivariate one- and $C$-sample location tests are implemented.

description: Illumination coherence plays a major role in various imaging systems, from microscopy, metrology, digital holography, optical coherence tomography, to ultrasound imaging. Here, we present a systematic study on the effects of degrees of spatiotemporal coherence of an illumination (DSTCI) on imaging quality. An optical field with arbitrary DSTCI was decomposed into wavelets with constituent spatiotemporal frequencies, and the effects on image quality were quantitatively investigated. The results show the synergistic effects on reduction of speckle noise when DSTCI is decreased. This study presents a method to systematically control DSTCI, and the result provides an essential reference on the effects of DSTCI on imaging quality. We believe that the presented methods and results can be implemented in various imaging systems for characterising and improving imaging quality.

description: With the rise of IoT devices and the necessity of intelligent applications, inference tasks are often ooaded to the cloud due to the computation limitation of the end devices. Yet, requests to the cloud are costly in terms of latency. Therefore, a shift of the computation from the cloud to the network’s edge is unavoidable for time-sensitive applications. This shift is called edge intelligence and promises lower latency, among other advantages. However, some algorithms, like deep neural networks, are computationally intensive, even for local edge servers (ES). Such DNNs can be split into two parts to keep latency low and distributed between the ES and the cloud. We present a dynamic scheduling algorithm that considers real-time parameters like the clock speed of the ES, bandwidth, and latency and predicts the optimal splitting point regarding latency. Furthermore, we estimate the overall costs for the ES and cloud during run-time and integrate them into our prediction and decision models. We present a cost-aware prediction of the splitting point, which can be tuned with a parameter toward faster response or lower costs. We tested our rescheduling algorithm on a test bed with a Raspberry Pi as edge and an AWS instance as a cloud server. The results demonstrate that we achieved a 60.84% decrease in cost compared to the optimal splitting point regarding latency with an increase in latency of only 25.92% for the AlexNet CNN when the edge server is rented.

description: We solve the Schrödinger equation with a position-dependent mass (PDM) charged particle interacted via the superposition of the Morse and Coulomb potentials and exposed to external magnetic and Aharonov-Bohm (AB) flux fields. The non-relativistic bound state energies together with their wave functions are calculated for two spatially-dependent mass distribution functions. We also study the thermal quantities of such a system. Further, the canonical formalism is used to compute various thermodynamic variables for second choosing mass by using the Gibbs formalism. We give plots for energy as a function of various physical parameters. The behavior of the internal energy, specific heat and entropy as functions of temperature and mass density parameter in the inverse-square mass case for different values of magnetic field are shown.

description: We report results from simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of PSR B0611+22 which is known to exhibit bursting in its single-pulse emission. The pulse phase of the bursts vary with radio frequency. The bursts are correlated in 327/150~MHz datasets while they are anti-correlated, with bursts at one frequency associated with normal emission at the other, in 820/150~MHz datasets. Also, the flux density of this pulsar is lower than expected at 327~MHz assuming a power law. We attribute this unusual behaviour to the pulsar itself rather than absorption by external astrophysical sources. Using this dataset over an extensive frequency range, we show that the bursting phenomenon in this pulsar exhibits temporal variance over a span of few hours. We also show that the bursting is quasi-periodic over the observed band. The anti-correlation in the phase offset of the burst mode at different frequencies suggests that the mechanisms responsible for phase offset and flux enhancement have different dependencies on the frequency. We did not detect the pulsar with XMM-Newton and place a 99$\%$ confidence upper limit on the X-ray efficiency of $ 10^{-5}$.

description: (1) Background: The WiZen study is the largest study so far to analyze the effect of the certification of designated cancer centers on survival in Germany. This certification program is provided by the German Cancer Society (GCS) and represents one of the largest oncologic certification programs worldwide. Currently, about 50% of colorectal cancer patients in Germany are treated in certified centers. (2) Methods: All analyses are based on population-based clinical cancer registry data of 47.440 colorectal cancer (ICD-10-GM C18/C20) patients treated between 2009 and 2017. The primary outcome was 5-year overall survival (OAS) after treatment at certified cancer centers compared to treatment at other hospitals; the secondary endpoint was recurrence-free survival. Statistical methods included Kaplan–Meier analysis and multivariable Cox regression. (3) Results: Treatment at certified hospitals was associated with significant advantages concerning 5-year overall survival (HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.89, 0.96, adjusted for a broad range of confounders) for colon cancer patients. Concentrating on UICC stage I–III patients, for whom curative treatment is possible, the survival benefit was even larger (colon cancer: HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.84, 0.94; rectum cancer: HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.84, 0.97). (4) Conclusions: These results encourage future efforts for further implementation of the certification program. Patients with colorectal cancer should preferably be directed to certified centers.

description: Economic agents often irrationally base their decision-making on irrelevant information. This research analyzes whether men and women react to futile information about past outcomes. For this purpose, we run a laboratory experiment (Study 1) and use field data (Study 2). In both studies, the behavior of men is consistent with falsely assumed negative autocorrelation, often referred to as gambler’s fallacy Women’s behavior aligns with falsely assumed positive autocorrelation, a notion of the hot hand fallacy. On the aggregate, the two fallacies cancel out. Even when individuals are, on average, rational, the biases in the decision-making of subgroups might cause inefficient outcomes. In a mediation analysis, we find that a) the agents stated perceived probabilities of future outcomes are not blurred by irrelevant information and b) about 40 % of the observed biases are driven by differences in the perceived attractiveness of available choices caused by the irrelevant information.

description: We develop a novel field effect transistor (FET) device using solid ion conductor (SIC) as a gate dielectric, and we can tune the carrier density of FeSe by driving lithium ions in and out of the FeSe thin flakes, and consequently control the material properties and its phase transitions. A dome-shaped superconducting phase diagram was mapped out with increasing Li content, with $T_c$ $\sim$ 46.6 K for the optimal doping, and an insulating phase was reached at the extremely overdoped regime. Our study suggests that, using solid ion conductor as a gate dielectric, the SIC-FET device can achieve much higher carrier doping in the bulk, and suit many surface sensitive experimental probes, and can stabilize novel structural phases that are inaccessible in ordinary conditions.

description: Monte-Carlo simulation of physical processes is an important tool for detector development as it allows to predict signal pulse amplitude and timing, time resolution, efficiency ... Yet despite the fact they are very common, full simulations for RPC-like detector are not widespread and often incomplete. They are often based on mathematical distributions that are not suited for this particular modelisation and over-simplify or neglect some important physical processes. We describe the main physical processes occurring inside a RPC when a charged particle goes through (ionisation, electron drift and multiplication, signal induction ...) through the Riegler-Lippmann-Veenhof model together with a still-in-development simulation. This is a full, fast and multi-threaded Monte-Carlo modelisation of the main physical processes using existing and well tested libraries and framework (such as the Garfield++ framework and the GNU Scientific Library). It is developed in the hope to be a basic ground for future RPC simulation developments.

description: In this era of modern devices and high speed communication the issue of spectral overloading is increasing with time and becoming more serious. With the advancement in LED industry, light fidelity (Li-Fi) based indoor network is an attractive substitute for the existing radio frequency (RF) based communication networks. Because of its capability to perform dual function of lighting as well as high speed communication, Li-Fi is attracting both industrial as well as academic researchers. The Li-Fi networking paradigm offers performance enhancements which can make it an attractive backup option to be used for networking setup in Internet of things (IOT) and its indoor capabilities make it an attractive choice for large scale indoor communication in next generation wireless networking environment. This paper discusses key potentials of Li-Fi based indoor communication system and point out the challenges which indoor based Li-Fi network is facing under the knowledge of existing research work in the field of Li-Fi.

description: There is consensus across the research community: research data matters. Federal funding agencies have recently reinforced this position. As of January 2023, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) requires most of the 300,000 researchers and 2,500 institutions it funds annually to include a data management plan in their grant applications and to make their data publicly available. The release of the most recent OSTP Public Access Policy memo in August 2022 further emphasizes the importance of data management and sharing for all sponsored research. This new federal guidance has accelerated the need for institutions to build robust RDM support communities on their campuses.

As a result, we obtained the fact that for a smooth projective curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 with genus $g>1$, Nori fundamental group acts faithfully on the unipotent fundamental group of its universal covering. However, it was not mentioned about any explicit module structure. In this paper, we prove that the Chevalley-Weil formula gives a description of it.

description: Various genome evolutionary models have been proposed these last decades to predict the evolution of a DNA sequence over time, essentially described using a mutation matrix. By essence, all of these models relate the evolution of DNA sequences to the computation of the successive powers of the mutation matrix. To make this computation possible, hypotheses are assumed for the matrix, such as symmetry and time-reversibility, which are not compatible with mutation rates that have been recently obtained experimentally on genes ura3 and can1 of the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this work, authors investigate systematically the possibility to relax either the symmetry or the time-reversibility hypothesis of the mutation matrix, by investigating all the possible matrices of size 2*2 and 3*3. As an application example, the experimental study on the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used in order to deduce a simple mutation matrix, and to compute the future evolution of the rate purine/pyrimidine for $ura3$ on the one hand, and of the particular behavior of cytosines and thymines compared to purines on the other hand.

description: We present combined experimental and theoretical investigations on the magnetic and magnetocaloric behavior of Nd$_2$NiMnO$_6$. The relative cooling power (RCP) which quantifies the usefulness of a magnetocaloric (MC) material is estimated to be $\approx 300$ J/Kg near the ferromagnetic transition at $T_C \approx 195$ K. This RCP is comparable to the best known MC materials. Additionally, the magnetic entropy change has a broad profile ($T_C - 50~{\rm K} < T < T_C + 50~{\rm K}$) leading to an enhancement in the working-range of temperatures for magnetocaloric based cooling. These features make Nd$_2$NiMnO$_6$ a superior magnetocaloric material compared for example, to the nonmagnetic counterpart Y$_2$NiMnO$_6$. We identify the mechanism for the enhanced RCP which can guide search for future MC materials.

description: We design a sequential Monte Carlo scheme for the dual purpose of Bayesian inference and model selection. We consider the application context of urban mobility, where several modalities of transport and different measurement devices can be employed. Therefore, we address the joint problem of online tracking and detection of the current modality. For this purpose, we use interacting parallel particle filters, each one addressing a different model. They cooperate for providing a global estimator of the variable of interest and, at the same time, an approximation of the posterior density of each model given the data. The interaction occurs by a parsimonious distribution of the computational effort, with online adaptation for the number of particles of each filter according to the posterior probability of the corresponding model. The resulting scheme is simple and flexible. We have tested the novel technique in different numerical experiments with artificial and real data, which confirm the robustness of the proposed scheme.

The Sturgeon River is a tributary of the North Saskatchewan River flowing west to east, from its headwaters near Hoople Lake to its confluence with the North Saskatchewan River near the City of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. The Sturgeon River and its tributaries are traversed by many watercourse crossings (bridges, culverts) that require monitoring and maintenance to prevent watershed fragmentation. This stream crossing assessment documents crossing conditions to determine whether the replacement and/or maintenance of crossings are required. (As cited on https://www.nswa.ab.ca/). Report includes 5 files: Part 1 (Introduction, Methods, Results, Recommendations, References, Glossary, Overview Map, and Low Risk Watercourse Crossing Overview Map and Field Sheets)--Part 2 (a continuation of Low Risk Field Sheets)--Part 3 (a continuation of Low Risk Field Sheets)--Part 4 (a continuation of Low Risk Field Sheets and Medium Risk Watercourse Crossing Overview Map and Field Sheets)--Part 5 (a continuation of Medium Risk Field Sheets and High Risk Watercourse Crossing Overview Map and Field Sheets).

description: Despite the inherently quantum mechanical nature of hydrogen bonding, it is unclear how nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) alter the strengths of hydrogen bonds. With this in mind, we use ab initio path integral molecular dynamics to determine the absolute contribution of NQEs to the binding in DNA base pair complexes, arguably the most important hydrogen-bonded systems of all. We find that depending on the temperature, NQEs can either strengthen or weaken the binding within the hydrogen-bonded complexes. As a somewhat counterintuitive consequence, NQEs can have a smaller impact on hydrogen bond strengths at cryogenic temperatures than at room temperature. We rationalize this in terms of a competition of NQEs between low-frequency and high-frequency vibrational modes. Extending this idea, we also propose a simple model to predict the temperature dependence of NQEs on hydrogen bond strengths in general.

description: We propose a Bayesian model for extracting sleep patterns from smartphone events. Our method is able to identify individuals' daily sleep periods and their evolution over time, and provides an estimation of the probability of sleep and wake transitions. The model is fitted to more than 400 participants from two different datasets, and we verify the results against ground truth from dedicated armband sleep trackers. We show that the model is able to produce reliable sleep estimates with an accuracy of 0.89, both at the individual and at the collective level. Moreover the Bayesian model is able to quantify uncertainty and encode prior knowledge about sleep patterns. Compared with existing smartphone-based systems, our method requires only screen on/off events, and is therefore much less intrusive in terms of privacy and more battery-efficient.

description: We present the partition function of a most generic $U(N)$ single plaquette model in terms of representations of unitary group. Extremising the partition function in large N limit we obtain a relation between eigenvalues of unitary matrices and number of boxes in the most dominant Young tableaux distribution. Since, eigenvalues of unitary matrices behave like coordinates of free fermions whereas, number of boxes in a row is like conjugate momenta of the same, a relation between them allows us to provide a phase space distribution for different phases of the unitary model under consideration. This proves a universal feature that all the phases of a generic unitary matrix model can be described in terms of topology of free fermi phase space distribution. Finally, using this result and analytic properties of resolvent that satisfy Dyson-Schwinger equation, we present a phase space distribution of unfolded zeros of Riemann zeta function.

Within the framework of effective field theory, we extend the Weinberg's weak-binding relation to include the nearby CDD (Castillejo-Dalitz-Dyson) pole contribution with the help of the Pade approximant. Finally, using the extended relation, we conclude that the CDD pole contribution to the Lambda(1405) baryon in the Kbar N amplitude is negligible.

True or False Incels: an analysis of the Incels.is forum
Creators: name: Hinds, Zachary
Publisher: name: University of Chicago

description: Involuntary Celibates, or Incels, have been identified as a part of the growing threat of misogynistic violence. Research into Incels has provided insights into the traits and narratives which drive the Incel movement. Prior research has focused on the individual Incels within the movement as well as the social norms that drive discussion. This thesis uses a corpus created from the Incel.is forum to present a mixed method approach of incorporating the narrative analysis of the Incel discussion with analysis into the greater social network structure of an Incel forum. The resulting analysis provides key insights into the Incel community pressures to avoid being labeled a fake member of the community. Furthermore, these findings point one of the potential mechanisms by which Incels are under social pressure to engage with more and more extreme ideology and allow for the tacit approval of violence within their community discussions.

description: Enterprise Architecture Modeling (EAM) stands to beneft signifcantly from multi-level modelling concepts, given the scale and complexity of the systems it is concerned with. However, to date there has been little research into how best to leverage multi-level modeling for this purpose. In this article we study the benefts that multi-level could bring to enterprise architecture modeling by analyzing the goals, concepts and modeling principles adopted by one of the most concrete and a widely used standards developed for EAM – the ArchiMate 3.0 standard. More specifcally, the contribution of this article is to identify and evaluate how the modeling experience envisaged in the ArchiMate standard could be better supported and enhanced using multi-level modeling principles. In our discussions, we focus on a specifc variant of multi-level modeling, so-called deep modeling, which is based on the notions of orthogonal classification and deep instantiation. After outlining the benefts that deep modeling could bring to ArchiMate’s existing modeling vision from the perspective of the involved languages, we present suggestions for further enhancing the modeling experience of ArchiMate users.

description: E-RIHS is a distributed research infrastructure in the field of heritage science - an interdisciplinary research domain spanning the humanities, arts, environment, engineering and sciences. Heritage science encompasses all forms of scientific enquiry into objects, buildings and landscape sites that are endowed with cultural or historical value. One of the main objectives of E-RIHS is to provide its user community with common access to instruments and scientific data through unified entry points and harmonised procedures. E-RIHS will not own the heritage research objects or data produced or held by its Partners, but will facilitate the sharing and reuse of research data produced and exchange of knowledge in general. It is important to prevent situations where the sharing and re-use of research data by the E-RIHS Partners or other researchers made available through E-RIHS research infrastructure inadvertently breach the rights of data owners or third parties’ IPR (mainly copyright). This is because the way in which research data is produced and described may automatically create copyrights if the description contains a creative element (hence rendering the data “copyrightable”). This report provides a plan and strategy for IPR management so as to ensure that copyright or other related rights shall not become an obstacle to the use, reuse and sharing of data by Users of E-RIHS, unless legal restrictions, legitimate reasons or other justified considerations apply. This can be achieved, among others, through a system of open licensing for use by E-RIHS Partners and Data Owners. In some cases, there may be legal or legitimate reasons to retain access and re-use of data or parts of it restricted. Equally, embargo periods may need to be applied in order to allow researchers to work-up their data sets and publish their findings. The FAIR principles do not prevent from recognising such legal and legitimate reasons for shielding data and restricting disclosure of the data but require that data should be findable and the conditions of access and reuse are clearly set out in the metadata. Finally, this report also acknowledges that in specific cases, activities services or knowledge produced by E-RIHS or its Partners may have a potential for commercial exploitation or for other justified purposes. In such cases, there may be a need to consider IPR protection to allow for technology transfer and commercialisation and to be clear on the allocation of such IPR.
The galaxy counterpart of the high-metallicity and 16 kpc impact parameter DLA towards Q0918+1636 - a challenge to galaxy formation models?

description: The quasar Q0918+1636 (z=3.07) has an intervening high-metallicity Damped Lyman-alpha Absorber (DLA) along the line of sight, at a redshift of z=2.58. The DLA is located at a large impact parameter of 16.2 kpc, and has an almost solar metallicity. It is shown, that a novel type of cosmological galaxy formation models, invoking a new SNII feedback prescription, the Haardt & Madau (2012) UVB field and explicit treatment of UVB self-shielding, can reproduce the observed characteristics of the DLA. UV radiation from young stellar populations in the galaxy, in particular in the photon energy range 10.36-13.61 eV (relating to Sulfur II abundance), are also considered in the analysis. It is found that a) for L~L* galaxies (at z=2.58), about 10% of the sight-lines through the galaxies at impact parameter 16.2 kpc will display a Sulfur II column density N(SII)$>$ 10$^{15.82}$ cm$^{-2}$ (the observed value for the DLA), and b) considering only cases where a near-solar metallicity will be detected at 16.2 kpc impact parameter, the probability distribution of galaxy SFR peaks near the value observed for the DLA galaxy counterpart of ~27 Msun/yr. It is argued, that the bulk of the alpha-elements, like Sulfur, traced by the high metal column density, b=16.2 kpc absorption lines, were produced by evolving young stars in the inner galaxy, and later transported outward by galactic winds.

description: We report about the anomalous Hall effect in 4f 3d metallic alloys measured using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The strength of the observed terahertz spin-dependent transport phenomenon is in good agreement with expectations based on electronic transport measurements. Employing this effect, we succeeded to reveal ultrafast dynamics of the anomalous Hall effect which accompanies the sub-100 picosecond optically induced magnetization reversal in a GdFeCo alloy. The experiments demonstrate the ability to control currents at terahertz frequencies in spintronic devices magnetically and ultrafast.

description: The tunable properties of molecular materials place them among the favorites for a variety of future generation devices. In addition, to maintain the current trend of miniaturization of those devices, a departure from the present top-down production methods may soon be required and self-assembly appears among the most promising alternatives. On-surface synthesis unites the promises of molecular materials and of self-assembly, with the sturdiness of covalently bonded structures: an ideal scenario for future applications. Following this idea, we report the synthesis of functional extended nanowires by self-assembly. In particular, the products correspond to one-dimensional organic semiconductors. The uniaxial alignment provided by our substrate templates allows us to access with exquisite detail their electronic properties, including the full valence band dispersion, by combining local probes with spatial averaging techniques. We show how, by selectively doping the molecular precursors, the product's energy level alignment can be tuned without compromising the charge carrier's mobility.
SUSY Dark Matter in Universal and Nonuniversal Gaugino Mass Models

description: We review the phenomenology of SUSY dark matter in various versions of MSSM, with universal and nonuniversal gaugino masses at the GUT scale. We start with the universal case (CMSSM), where the cosmologically compatible dark matter relic density is achieved only over some narrow regions of parameter space, involving some fine-tuning. Moreover, most of these regions are seriously challenged by the constraints from collider and direct dark matter detection experiments. Then we consider some simple and predictive nonuniversal gaugino mass models, based on SU(5) GUT. Several of these models offer viable SUSY dark matter candidates, which are compatible with the cosmic dark matter relic density and the above mentioned experimental constraints. They can be probed at the present and future collider and dark matter search experiments. Finally, we consider the nonuniversal gaugino mass model arising from anomaly mediated SUSY breaking. In this case the cosmologically compatible dark matter relic density requires dark matter mass of a few TeV, which puts it beyond the scope of collider and direct dark matter detection experiments. However, it has interesting predictions for some indirect dark matter detection experiments.

description: We revisit the model for parametrization of momentum dependence of nucleon generalized parton distributions in the light of recent MRST measurements of parton distribution functions. Our parametrization method with minimum set of free parameters give a sufficiently good description of data for Dirac and Pauli electromagnetic form factors of proton and neutron at small and intermediate values of momentum transfer. We also calculate the GPDs for up and down quark by decomposing the electromagnetic form factors for nucleon using the charge and isospin symmetry and also study the evolution of GPDs to a higher scale. We further investigate the transverse charge densities for both the unpolarized and transversely polarized nucleon and compare our results with the Kelly's distribution.
