description: We study the cocktail model in which the Majorana neutrino masses are generated by the so-called "cocktail" three-loop diagrams with the dark matter particle running in the loops. In particular, we give the correct analytic expressions of the neutrino masses in the model by the detailed calculation of the cocktail diagrams. Based on the reliable numerical calculation of the loop integrals, we explore the parameter space which can give the correct orders of neutrino masses while satisfying other experimental constraints, such as those from the neutrinoless double beta decay, low-energy lepton flavor violation processes, electroweak precision tests, and collider searches. As a result, the large couplings and the large mass difference between the two singly-charged (neutral) scalars are required.

unesco recommendations

description: Focusing on single tasks to implement Open Science (OS) principles could return immediate and successful results. However, in case of lack of coordination at institutional level, there is a risk of achieving temporary and isolated results. Indeed, the UNESCO recommendation on OS stresses the importance of establishing interconnections between areas and single issues as just different realizations of the same principles. At the University of Trento (UniTrento), Italy there is an ongoing attempt to combine bottom-up and top-down approaches. Individual efforts at departmental level, got the spotlight on dedicated angles forming the general framework. This was the case of some diamond open access scientific journals published by UniTrento, but hosted on different websites. They have been successful in attracting international interest, but struggled to find adequate resources and trained support to maintain the websites (by means of different versions of the Open Journal System (OJS) software). Furthermore, the Center for Mind / Brain Sciences and Faculty of Law departments set up open virtual spaces where educational and scientific initiatives on OS issues take place, to train new generations of researchers. Results obtained are remarkable, but mainly limited to the members of the respective departments. As implementation of its 2022-2027 Strategic Plan, UniTrento established the OS Committee to redirect such interests towards common goals. Results achieved so far include: (1) the official OS policy of UniTrento that illustrates general principles - aligned with the UNESCO recommendation and the Italian National Plan on OS - and settles a common framework for all departments; (2) the launch of the TESeO platform, based on the latest OJS version, hosting all scientific journals published by UniTrento; (3) the participation of Trento as an official member of the Italian Association on Open Science (AISA), the Italian Computing and Data Infrastructure (ICDI) and the Italian Reproducibility Network (ITRN).

description: Currently available information on fast variability of the X-ray emission from accreting collapsed objects constitutes a complex phenomenology which is difficult to interpret. We review the current observational standpoint for black-hole binaries and survey models that have been proposed to interpret it. Despite the complex structure of the accretion flow, key observational diagnostics have been identified which can provide direct access to the dynamics of matter motions in the close vicinity of black holes and thus to the some of fundamental properties of curved spacetimes, where strong-field general relativistic effects can be observed.

description: Institutional repositories (IRs) play an important role in supporting open research practices by making various research outputs such as datasets, preprints and reports more accessible, discoverable, and citable. Using persistent identifiers (PIDs) for research outputs can maximize the discoverability and support in making research data FAIR. PIDs are unique and permanent identifiers that can be used to identify and cite research outputs over time. This is important for open research because it allows researchers to share their work with others and to track its impact.This Arabic presentation has been delivered during the 4th Congress of the Arab Community of Open Access (ACOA).

description: We report multi-wavelength observations of the unidentified Fermi object 2FGL J1653.6-0159. With the help of high-resolution X-ray observation, we have identified an X-ray and optical counterpart of 2FGL J1653.6-0159. The source exhibits a periodic modulation of 75 min in optical and possibly also in X-ray. We suggest that 2FGL J1653.6-0159 is a compact binary system with an orbital period of 75 min. Combining the gamma-ray and X-ray properties, 2FGL J1653.6-0159 is potentially a black widow/redback type gamma-ray millisecond pulsar (MSP). The optical and X-ray lightcurve profiles show that the companion is mildly heated by the high-energy emission and the X-rays are from intrabinary shock. Although no radio pulsation has been detected yet, we estimated that the spin period of the MSP is ~2ms based on a theoretical model. If pulsation can be confirmed in the future, 2FGL J1653.6-0159 will become the first ultracompact rotation-powered MSP.

title: On the Outskirts of the European Bell Beaker Phenomenon – the Danish Case
Creators: name: Sarauw, Torben
Publisher: name: Journal of Neolithic Archaeology
Year: 2007

description: This article explores the Danish Bell Beaker phenomenon by focusing on the meaning of this distinctive pottery and seeking answers to the following questions: Does the pottery reflect social identities with respect to gender, rank, religion and so forth, and is the symbolic meaning of beakers the same all over their wide area of distribution? Furthermore, why are Bell Beakers adopted in some regions but rejected in others? The starting point for this article is a detailed analysis of a comprehensive selection of potsherds comprising not only Bell Beakers, but also different types of coarse ware found at Bejsebakken, a settlement site in northern Jutland. The intra-site distribution of pottery may reflect learning patterns and, consequently, matrimonial traditions. This has wider implications for our understanding of the social organisation of Late Neolithic society. Finally, this article discusses the directions of influence, rejecting a single source of origin, but arguing that the material culture of the Danish Bell Beaker phenomenon was shaped by many-sided influences.

description: Pair potentials that are bounded at the origin provide an accurate description of the effective interaction for many systems of dissolved soft macromolecules (e.g., flexible dendrimers). Using numerical free-energy calculations, we reconstruct the equilibrium phase diagram of a system of particles interacting through a potential that brings together a Gaussian repulsion with a much weaker Gaussian attraction, close to the thermodynamic stability threshold. Compared to the purely-repulsive model, only the reentrant branch of the melting line survives, since for lower densities solidification is overridden by liquid-vapor separation. As a result, the phase diagram of the system recalls that of water up to moderate (i.e., a few tens MPa) pressures. Upon superimposing a suitable hard core on the double-Gaussian potential, a further transition to a more compact solid phase is induced at high pressure, which might be regarded as the analog of the ice I to ice III transition in water.

The statistical character of the model is similar to that of terrestrial magnetic field reversals, with the similarity being stronger when rotation is present.The connection between long time correlations, $1/f$ noise, and statistics of reversals is supported, consistent with earlier suggestions.

Creators: name: Sjögren, Karl-Göran

description: Today, about 525 dolmens and passage graves are known in Sweden. These tombs were built in a short and intense period, c. 3300- 3000 BC, in the cultural setting of the Funnel Beaker (TRB) culture. The tombs occur in two distinct types of landscape. In Scania, Halland and Bohuslän, they are found close to the coast, in a strongly marine environment. The second and larger group of tombs is found in the inland area of Falbygden in Västergötland. Here, a remarkable concentration of at least 255 tombs coincides with one of the very few places in the region where bedrock consists of limestone and slate instead of Precambrian rocks. Spatial patterns are discernible in Falbygden but not very clearly in Bohuslän. In Falbygden, the tombs are closely spaced, occur in clusters or groups of 5–15 tombs, and tend towards regular spacing within the groups. Also, the largest tombs tend to occur in the centre of the area, for instance in Karleby, where several of the largest tombs are found. I will discuss the spatial patterns in the Falbygden landscape at different spatial levels, and whether the spatial patterns are also discernible in other variables, such as tomb or pottery typology. I will also touch upon the relations between Falbygden and surrounding non-megalithic regions as visible in ongoing isotope studies.

description: Dark count rate is one of the key parameters limiting the performance of the superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD). We have designed a multi-layer film bandpass filter that can be integrated onto the SNSPD to suppress the dark counts contributed by the stray light and blackbody radiation of the fiber. The bandpass filter is composed of 16 SiO2/Si bilayers deposited onto the backside of a thermally oxidized Si substrate. The substrate shows an excellent bandpass filter effect and provides a high transmittance of 88% at the central wavelength of the pass band, which is the same as that of the bare substrate. The SNSPDs fabricated on the substrate integrated with the bandpass filter show conspicuous wavelength-sensitive detection efficiency. The background dark count rate is reduced by two orders of magnitude to sub-Hz compared with the conventional SNSPD (a few tens of Hz). The detector exhibits a system detection efficiency of 56% at DCR of 1 Hz, with the measured minimal noise equivalent power reaching 2e-19 w/Hz1/2.

description: We report on a novel kind of transition in random lasers induced by the geometrical confinement of the emitting material. Different dye doped paper devices with controlled geometry are fabricated by soft-lithography and show two distinguished behaviors in the stimulated emission: in the absence of boundary constraints the energy threshold decreases for larger laser volumes showing the typical trend of diffusive {\it non-resonant} random lasers, while when the same material in lithographed into channels, the walls act as cavity and the {\it resonant} behavior typical of standard lasers is observed. The experimental results are consistent with the general theories of random and standard lasers and a clear phase diagram of the transition is reported.

description: This abstract explores the concept of semantic cognition, focusing on the method of typology, which involves the classification and grouping of objects based on generalized models. Typology is widely applied across various scientific disciplines, such as biology, chemistry, linguistics, and sociology, to compare and analyze different systems and their structures. The article delves into both empirical and theoretical typologies, their methods of construction, and their significance in understanding systems' organization and evolution. It also discusses the historical development of typology and its application in modern linguistics, particularly in understanding language structures and functions.

description: The element identity is regarded as the reason for the monumental erection of collective burials. Estimations of the labour costs for the graves as well as calculations of the living population show that the associated society could have been much smaller than usualy thought. For the only well investigated contemporary settlement (Wittelsberg, Kr. Marburg-Biedenkopf) for example can a much larger population be expected. Anthropological Investigations show a distribution of ages and sex which do not imply an exclusive access to the burial site. The graves themselve are according to GIS-analysis grouped in small clusters in constant distance. Radiocarbon dating shows that at least some of the grouped graves where erected at the same time. Because of these results a model of the burying society can be build which organised themselve according to ancestry (lineage) in oposition to the usual interpretation as territorial markers of regional comunities. Ethnological researches underpin this model. In all recent collective burying societies the access to a grave is controled by descent.

description: New investigations on monumental enclosures of the Michelsberg/Baalberge period (c. 4200–3500 calBC) in Northern Germany show a close correlation between their location and medieval long distance roads, which are highly dependent on ground features and thus probably very constant in time. In some cases not only the position but also the architecture of enclosures seems to have been constructed deliberately in respect of ancient tracks leading by. Together with additional data from recent excavations the long discussed function of large enclosures can now be reassigned to the realms of representation, communication and mortuary ritual.

description: Phase transitions are uncommon among homogenous one-dimensional fluids of classical particles owing to a general non-existence result due to van Hove. A way to circumvent van Hove's theorem is to consider an interparticle potential that is finite everywhere. Of this type is the generalized exponential model of index 4 (GEM4 potential), a model interaction which in three dimensions provides an accurate description of the effective pair repulsion between dissolved soft macromolecules (e.g., flexible dendrimers). Using specialized free-energy methods, I reconstruct the equilibrium phase diagram of the one-dimensional GEM4 system, showing that, apart from the usual fluid phase at low densities, it consists of an endless sequence of {\em cluster fluid phases} of increasing pressure, having a sharp crystal appearance for low temperatures. The coexistence line between successive phases in the sequence invariably terminates at a critical point. Focussing on the first of such transitions, I show that the growth of the 2-cluster phase from the metastable ordinary fluid is extremely slow, even for large supersaturations. Finally, I clarify the apparent paradox of the observation of an activation barrier to nucleation in a system where, due to the dimensionality of the hosting space, the critical radius is expected to vanish.

Determination of the mixing between active neutrinos and sterile neutrino through the quark-lepton complementarity and self-complementarity

description: It is suggested that there is an underlying symmetry which relates the quark and lepton sectors. Namely, among the mixing matrix elements of CKM for quarks and PMNS for leptons there exist complementarity relations at a high energy scale (such as the see-saw or even the GUT scales). Assuming that the relations would remain during the matrix elements running down to the EW scale. Observable breaking of the rational relation is attributed to existence of sterile neutrinos which mix with the active neutrino to result in the observable PMNS matrix. We show that involvement of a sterile in the (3+1) model, induces that $|U_{e4}|^2= 0.040$, $|U_{\mu4}|^2= 0.009$ and $\sin^2 2α=0.067$. We also find a new self-complementarity $\vartheta_{12}+\vartheta_{23}+\vartheta_{13}+α\approx90^\circ$. The numbers are generally consistent with those obtained by fitting recent measurements, especially in this scenario, the existence of a sterile neutrino does not upset the LEP data i.e. the number of neutrino types is very close to 3.

title: Molecular signals of arms race evolution between RNA viruses and their hosts
Creators: name: Lytras, Spyridon
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: Viruses are intracellular parasites that hijack their hosts’ cellular machinery to replicate themselves. This creates an evolutionary “arms race” between hosts and viruses, where the former develop mechanisms to restrict viral infection and the latter evolve ways to circumvent these molecular barriers. In this thesis, I explore examples of this virus-host molecular interplay, focusing on events in the evolutionary histories of both viruses and hosts. The thesis begins by examining how recombination, the exchange of genetic material between related viruses, expands the genomic diversity of the Sarbecovirus subgenus, which includes SARS-CoV responsible for the 2002 SARS epidemic and SARS-CoV-2 responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. On the host side, I examine the evolutionary interaction between RNA viruses and two interferon-stimulated genes expressed in hosts. First, I show how the 2′-5′-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1) gene of horseshoe bats (Rhinolophoidea), the reservoir host of sarbecoviruses, lost its anti-coronaviral activity at the base of this bat superfamily. By reconstructing the Rhinolophoidea common ancestor OAS1 protein, I first validate the loss of antiviral function and highlight the implications of this event in the virus-host association between sarbecoviruses and horseshoe bat hosts. Second, I focus on the evolution of the human butyrophilin subfamily 3 member A3 (BTN3A3) gene which restricts infection by avian influenza A viruses (IAV). The evolutionary analysis reveals that BTN3A3’s anti-IAV function was gained within the primates and that specific amino acid substitutions need to be acquired in IAVs’ NP protein to evade the human BTN3A3 activity. Gain of BTN3A3-evasion-conferring substitutions correlate with all major human IAV pandemics and epidemics, making these NP residues key markers for IAV transmissibility potential to humans. In the final part of the thesis, I present a novel approach for evaluating dinucleotide compositional biases in virus genomes. An application of my metric on the Flaviviridae virus family uncovers how ancestral host shifts of these viruses correlate with adaptive shifts in their genomes’ dinucleotide representation. Collectively, the contents of this thesis extend our understanding of how viruses interact with their hosts along their intertangled evolution and provide insights into virus host switching and pandemic preparedness.

description: The black silica-ironstone was used in northwestern Germany during the Neolithic period only for the production of large stone tools. It is a sediment type from the Soninnia-Beds of the Lower Doggerian (Middle Jurassic) that was heated up thermically by the Bramscher and Vlothoer Pluton in the Cretaceous periods and has similar working features such as flintstone. The large platy to small round black concretions were collected by the Neolithic people from surfaces between the Teutoburger Wald to Wiehengebirge. The raw material was collected in secondary Pleistocene Saale ice age deposits of ground and end moraines or from Were, Else or Weser river terrace gravels. For the first time, this material was discovered and rarely used by the Rössen Culture (6.900 BP) for the fabrication of flat unperforated adzes. In the period of the Funnel Beaker Culture a manufacture of rectangular silica-ironstone hatchets and their trade over distances of about 150 km can be prooved. From this period a new hatchet production place was remembered at Bissendorf-Wulften, Kr. Osnabrück in close contact to some megalith graves such as the Sloopsteene and settling places. At this site the raw material, more than 150 debris, and some hatchet fragments, hatchet brutes, broken half products and finished polished hatchets were found. Other Neolithic sites have delivered only a few silicaconcretion debris in between the common flint stone material. Another more important small production site of the Funnel Beaker Culture was found at an old river branch of the river Else at Kirchlengern- Steinlacke, Kr. Herford. With the discovery of these hatchet producing sites for the first time the silica-ironstone hatchet production can be discussed. 68% of the debris at the main site Bissendorf-Wulften contains cortex remains that indicate a prepreparation to hatchet brutes, which were polished in another step from all sides. The debris was rarely used for scrapers. In a few cases cissels and thickbladed rectangular hatchets were produced of the silica-ironstone. The high percentage of hatchet fragments and debris indicate a lower quality of the raw material silica-ironstone concretion as flintstone or magmatic rocks. In the following late Neolithic periods people of the Single Grave and Bell Beaker Cultures used rarely silica-ironstone mainly for the production of battle axes, until this raw material became forgotton at about 4.200 BP.

description: This paper examined the (re)presentation of South African politicians in Tony Leon’s regular column, On the contrary, which appeared in The Times newspaper from 2012 to 2017. This period in South African politics is made interesting by the fact that it coincides with the time when there was mounting pressure for the then president, Jacob Zuma, of the ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), to step down, especially between 7 January 2015 and 21 March 2017. Tony Leon, who also once served as a councilor for the Democratic Party (DA), one of the major opposition parties in South Africa is the columnist who at the time authors the on the contrary column. This creates interesting research on how the columnist and the newspaper are able or not to maintain ethical journalism. In conducting the study, this article employs the framing theory and critical discourse analysis (CDA) as research tools to assess the columnists’ objectivity and bias in his depiction of the then president and several prominent politicians during the examined period. Data analysis constitutes six newspaper articles which were purposively selected to obtain a representative sample. The results indicated that these articles were well-researched in respect of the information they presented. At the same time, biased tendencies were noted in favor of the political party aligned to the columnist.

description: We study transient sequential dynamics of evolving dynamical networks, i.e., those having active nodes and links and activity-dependent topology. We show that such networks can generate sequences of metastable cluster states where each state is a cyclic sequence of clusters following each other in a certain order. We found the way how the sequences generated by such networks can be robust against background noise, small perturbations of initial conditions, and parameter detuning, and at the same time, can be sensitive to input information.

description: Early Baden Elements in the Neolithic of Central Germany – the »Schöningen Group« Some cultural complexes still do not fit reliably into the seemingly well-established chronology of the Mittelelbe-Saale-Region. One example is the enigmatic Schöningen pottery, named after a settlement site in Lower Saxony. When R. Maier presented the material in 1987, it could only be dated broadly to the Younger Neolithic due to an apparent lack of convincing typological parallels. In 1993 J. Beran assigned several new complexes (e.g. Salzmünde, Oberwerschen; both in Sachsen- Anhalt) to the »Schöningen group« as he called it then. Based on very general typological resemblances, he dated it to the beginning of the Younger Neolithic, regarding it contemporary with early Michelsberg (MK I / II; c. 4200 / 4000 B.C.). On the whole the typochronological suggestion was followed by D. Kaufmann in 1994. In this paper we point to the hitherto unrecognized fact that the Schöningen bowl, as the dominant and most characteristic type, is very closely related to early Baden (Boleráz) pottery. Furthermore, parallels for almost all other typological features can be found in Boleráz and to some extent in Altheim. Therefore Schöningen pottery can be placed in the context of Baalberge and perhaps early Salzmünde (c. 3700–3350 B.C.). We consider the Schöningen types not a cultural »group« sensu stricto, but a bundle of time-specific styles, resulting from a strong Boleráz and perhaps Altheim influence on the Mittelelbe-Saale-Region.

description: We present Hubble Space Telescope optical and near-IR transmission spectra of the transiting hot-Jupiter WASP-31b. The spectrum covers 0.3-1.7 $μ$m at a resolution $R\sim$70, which we combine with Spitzer photometry to cover the full-optical to IR. The spectrum is dominated by a cloud-deck with a flat transmission spectrum which is apparent at wavelengths $>0.52μ$m. The cloud deck is present at high altitudes and low pressures, as it covers the majority of the expected optical Na line and near-IR H$_2$O features. While Na I absorption is not clearly identified, the resulting spectrum does show a very strong potassium feature detected at the 4.2-$σ$ confidence level. Broadened alkali wings are not detected, indicating pressures below $\sim$10 mbar. The lack of Na and strong K is the first indication of a sub-solar Na/K abundance ratio in a planetary atmosphere (ln[Na/K]$=-3.3\pm2.8$), which could potentially be explained by Na condensation on the planet's night side, or primordial abundance variations. A strong Rayleigh scattering signature is detected at short wavelengths, with a 4-$σ$ significant slope. Two distinct aerosol size populations can explain the spectra, with a smaller sub-micron size grain population reaching high altitudes producing a blue Rayleigh scattering signature on top of a larger, lower-lying population responsible for the flat cloud deck at longer wavelengths. We estimate that the atmospheric circulation is sufficiently strong to mix micron size particles upward to the required 1-10 mbar pressures, necessary to explain the cloud deck. These results further confirm the importance of clouds in hot-Jupiters, which can potentially dominate the overall spectra and may alter the abundances of key gaseous species.

description: Death was no great leveller in the TRB. Prominent ancestors reposed in solitude under huge earthen mounds or shared stone chambers with select members of their community. Others were buried in flat graves, settlement pits or otherwise obscured from view – clearly relegated to future oblivion and known to us only through accidents of archaeological discovery. The paper explores these apparent differences – can we account for such varying treatment of individuals who apparently belonged to the same community, shared the same daily life, followed the same cultural traditions and espoused the same world views?

The Speculative House In London, c1832 - 1914
Creators: name: Jackson, Neil
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1982

description: This study is concerned with the morphology of the speculatively-built dwelling-house in London between c1832 and 1914. The thesis is that the 19th c. speculative house was the direct result of social, stylistic and legislative influences acting upon the basic form of the 18th c. town house. The study serves not only to place the 19th c. speculative house in its historical and architectural context, but to demonstrate how the house was assembled and what might be found or re-employed during a sympathetic restoration or rehabilitation building programme. The plan and section of the 18th c. terraced house provided the most economical and profitable way for the speculative builder to cover his leasehold site, and thus remained largely unaltered throughout the 19th c., except in the suburbs where land prices were not at a premium and more expansive planning could be employed. The architectural styles crudely adapted followed behind contemporary fashion, often by some years, and remained in use long after being discarded by leading practitioners. The developing building regulations controlled the form the speculative house took, initially in relation to the control of fire, but latterly light and ventilation. The development of new, and the refinement of established building materials affected the methods of construction, appearance and ultimate stability of the buildings. The speculative house was heavily criticised during the 19th c. for bad planning and poor construction. Yet it was not always the builder who was to blame, the speculator or land-developer often being ultimately responsible for the quality of the work. Many thousands of such houses have survived and today are in popular demand, especially among first-time buyers. This indicates their inherant suitability to our contemporary lifestyle, as well as their lasting quality as a building product despite so many assertions to the contrary.
Detecting the spin-orbit misalignment of the super-Earth 55 Cnc e

description: We present time-resolved spectroscopy of transits of the super-Earth 55 Cnc e using HARPS-N observations. We devised an empirical correction for the "color effect" affecting the radial velocity residuals from the Keplerian fit, which significantly improves their dispersion with respect to the HARPS-N pipeline standard data-reduction. Using our correction, we were able to detect the smallest Rossiter-McLaughlin anomaly amplitude of an exoplanet so far (~60 cm/s). The super-Earth 55 Cnc e is also the smallest exoplanet with a Rossiter-McLaughlin anomaly detection. We measured the sky-projected obliquity lambda = 72.4 (+12.7 -11.5 deg), indicating that the planet orbit is prograde, highly misaligned and nearly polar compared to the stellar equator. The entire 55 Cancri system may have been highly tilted by the presence of a stellar companion.

description: The Finnish Meteorological Institute has recently developed a web-service that provides detailed hydrometeorological information to support more efficient hydropower production operations in Northern Finland. This service aims to reduce uncertainties in spring, snowmelt driven, runoff forecasts through assimilation of satellite data-based cryosphere products to an in-house developed hydrological model (HOPS) and an in-house developed machine learning streamflow forecasting algorithm. The service leverages common European efforts in climate monitoring by linking data from the Copernicus Climate Data Store with Copernicus seasonal forecasts data records as well as Copernicus Earth Observations. Along with the primary focus of the service in disseminating hydrometeorological data and information, the service acts as a testbed for developing new forecasting methods for operational services.AcknowledgmentThe e-shape project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement 820852.
