description: Το παρόν άρθρο παρουσιάζει την μελέτη της Pinus peuce, ενός ενδημικού είδους των Βαλκανίων, με την τεχνική των ισοενζύμων. Μεταξύ των ενζυμικών συστημάτων που μελετήθηκαν, πέντε ήταν μονομορφικ ές και στους πέντε υπό μελέτη πληθυσμούς και έξι ήταν πολυμορφικές σε τουλάχιστον ένα αλληλόμορφο. Η ανάλυση διαχωρισμο ύ χαρακτήρων των πολυμορφικ ών γονιδίων συνέπεσε με το Μενδελικ ό μοντέλο κληρονομικότητας. Καμία σημαντική απόκλιση από την αναμενόμενη συχνότητα δεν παρατηρήθηκε τόσο στα μεμονωμ ένα όσο και στα συγκεντρωτικά επίπεδα διαχωρισμού των δεδομένων. Το μοντέλο διαχωρισμού ήταν ομοιογενές μεταξύ ατόμων. Δύο σημαντικές ομάδες πληθυσμών βρέθηκαν στην Pinus peuce : οι δύο πληθυσμοί της Βουλγαρίας με τον πληθυσμ ό της Αριδαίας και ο πληθυσμ ός των Σκοπίων με τον πληθυσμ ό της Ροδόπης.
description: This article presents a study of isozyme variation in Pinus peuce, a B alkan endemic. Among the enzyme systems studied, five were monomorphic and six were polymorphic in at least one locus. The segregation analysis of the polymorphic loci was consistent with a Mendelian mod e of inheritance. No significant deviation from the expected ratio was observed both at the individual and pooled segregation data levels. Segregation patterns were homogeneous across individuals. Two significant groups of populations were found in Pinus peuce: the two populations of Bulgaria with the population of Aridaia, and the population of Skopje with the population of Rodopi.

description: Room temperature Co K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) including pre-edge and x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies are carried out on LaCoO3 and PrCoO3. The Co-O, Co-La/Pr and Co-Co bond lengths are obtained from EXAFS analysis and compared with those obtained from XRD. The EXAFS analysis of data indicates that CoO6 octahedron is distorted in both LaCoO3 and PrCoO3. Such distortion is expected in orthorhombic PrCoO3 but not in rhombohedral LaCoO3. This distortion in CoO6 octahedron is attributed to Jahn-Teller active Co3+ ion in intermediate spin state in these compounds. Higher shell studies reveal that Debye-Waller (DW) factors of Co-Pr and Co-Co bonds in PrCoO3 are more in comparison to Co-La and Co-Co bonds in LaCoO3 indicating that these bonds are structurally more disordered in PrCoO3. The comparison of Co-Co bond lengths and corresponding DW factors indicates that the structural disorder plays an important role in deciding the insulating properties of these compounds. XANES studies have shown changes in the intensities and positions of different near edge features.

description: Purpose: This study proposes an adaptive bandwidth management system which can be explicitly used by educational institutions. The primary goal of the system is to increase the bandwidth of the users who access more on educational websites. Through this proposed bandwidth management, the users of the campus networks is encouraged to utilize the internet for educational purposes. Method: The weblog from a university's pfSense proxy server was utilized and undergo Web Usage Mining (WUM) to determine the number of educational and non-educational websites accessed by the users. Certain formulas were used in the computation of the bandwidth which was dynamically assigned to the users. A prototyping technique was applied in developing adaptive bandwidth management system. The prototype was simulated and evaluated by experts in compliance with ISO/IEC 14598-6 and ISO/IEC 9126-1 standards. Results: This study found that the prototype is capable of adjusting the bandwidth of the network users dynamically. The users who browsed more on educational websites or contents were assigned with higher bandwidth compared to those who are not. Further, the evaluated prototype met the software standards of ISO. Conclusion: The proposed adaptive bandwidth management can contribute to the continuous development in the area of computer networking, especially in designing and managing campus networks. It also helps the network administrators or IT managers in allocating bandwidth with minimal effort.

description: The relief scenes of mortals who are rendered as hunters or are rendered hunting in monuments of Greek Art which come from the region of main Greece or from Greek cities of Asia Minor are the subject of this paper. One of the main goals was to understand the part of hunting in ancient Greek society. This is the reason for the examination of ancient sources with relevant reports. The ancient monuments which are examined are classified in two different chapters according to the scenes that they carry. This classification allows us to understand the differences regarding the way that this theme is rendered in monuments which come from Cities-States and in those monuments which are connected with the Macedonian Kingdom. The conclusions of this comparison are analyzed further in the last chapter.

description: Depending on their sizes, dust grains store more or less charges, catalyse more or less chemical reactions, intercept more or less photons and stick more or less efficiently to form embryos of planets. Hence the need for an accurate treatment of dust coagulation and fragmentation in numerical modelling. However, existing algorithms for solving the coagulation equation are over-diffusive in the conditions of 3D simulations. We address this challenge by developing a high-order solver based on the Discontinuous Galerkin method. This algorithm conserves mass to machine precision and allows to compute accurately the growth of dust grains over several orders of magnitude in size with a very limited number of dust bins.

Anomaly of discrete family symmetries and gauge coupling unification

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Anomaly of discrete symmetries can be defined as the Jacobian of the path-integral measure. We assume that an anomalous discrete symmetry at low energy is remnant of an anomaly free discrete symmetry, and that its anomaly is cancelled by the Green-Schwarz(GS) mechanism at a more fundamental scale. If the Kac-Moody levels k_i assume non-trivial values, the GS cancellation conditions of anomaly modify the ordinary unification of gauge couplings. This is most welcome, because for a renormalizable model to be realistic any non-abelian family symmetry, which should not be hardly broken low-energy, requires multi SU(2)_L doublet Higgs fields. As an example we consider a recently proposed supersymmetric model with Q_6 family symmetry. In this example, k_2=1, k_3=3 satisfies the GS conditions and the gauge coupling unification appears close to the Planck scale.

description: The heavy metal pollution in ecosystems is of increasing global concern. The main sources of the metal toxicity are the industrial waste, mining and using of pesticides; which includes heavy metals. Out of all heavy metals, mercury (Hg) is considered to be the one, easily accumulated in the aquatic organism. Hg can induce more severe oxidative stress by triggering production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and damage macro-molecules. ROS serve not only as dangerous molecules that damage proteins, lipids and DNA but also as signalling molecules in the regulation of biological processes such as biotic and abiotic stress responses. Xenobiotics detoxification pathway “Green Liver-like” is another defence system, which can activate due to heavy metal stress. This study aims to explore the change in the Chromera velia transcriptome due to Hg stress; C. velia is the recently discovered closest known relative of Apicomplexans. The results show that 1239 genes differentially expressed; Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) showed overall up-regulation (1,070 genes) while only 169 genes were down-regulated. Moreover, 145 ROS-mediated related unigenes identified; of them, 125 (86.2 %) unigenes were showed similar expression patterns while 20 showed Differential Expression (DE) patterns. Out of 126 xenobiotics metabolism related identified unigenes; only fifteen (11.9 %) unigenes showed DE patterns while 111 (88.1 %) unigenes showed similar expression patterns. Our study presents the first deep transcriptomic analysis of C. velia, focusing on the expression level of genes involved in various detoxification defence systems in response to heavy metal stress.

description: Background. The current cognitive state, such as cognitive effort and depletion, incidental affect or stress may impact the strength of a chosen password unconsciously. Aim. We investigate the effect of incidental fear and stress on the measured strength of a chosen password. Method. We conducted two experiments with within-subject designs measuring the Zxcvbn \textsf{log10} number of guesses as strength of chosen passwords as dependent variable. In both experiments, participants were signed up to a site holding their personal data and, for the second run a day later, asked under a security incident pretext to change their password. (a) Fear. $N_\mathsf{F} = 34$ participants were exposed to standardized fear and happiness stimulus videos in random order. (b) \textbf{Stress.} $N_\mathsf{S} = 50$ participants were either exposed to a battery of standard stress tasks or left in a control condition in random order. The Zxcvbn password strength was compared across conditions. Results. We did not observe a statistically significant difference in mean Zxcvbn password strengths on fear (Hedges' $g_{\mathsf{av}} = -0.11$, 95\% CI $[-0.45, 0.23]$) or stress (and control group, Hedges' $g_{\mathsf{av}} = 0.01$, 95\% CI $[-0.31, 0.33]$). However, we found a statistically significant cross-over interaction of stress and TLX mental demand. Conclusions. While having observed negligible main effect size estimates for incidental fear and stress, we offer evidence towards the interaction between stress and cognitive effort that vouches for further investigation.

description: Model of supermassive black holes formation inside the clusters of primordial black holes is developed. Namely, it is supposed, that some mass fraction of the universe ~10^-3 is composed of the compact clusters of primordial (relic) black holes, produced during phase transitions in the early universe. These clusters are the centers of dark matter condensation. We model the formation of protogalaxies with masses about 2*10^8M_sun at the redshift z=15. These induced protogalaxies contain central black holes with mass ~10^5M_sun and look like dwarf spheroidal galaxies with central density spike. The subsequent merging of induced protogalaxies and ordinary dark matter haloes corresponds to the standard hierarchical clustering scenario of large-scale structure formation. The coalescence of primordial black holes results in formation of supermassive black holes in the galactic centers. As a result, the observed correlation between the masses of central black holes and velocity dispersion in the galactic bulges is reproduced.

description: We demonstrate dynamic voltage control of the magnetic anisotropy of a (Ga,Mn)As device bonded to a piezoelectric transducer. The application of a uniaxial strain leads to a large reorientation of the magnetic easy axis which is detected by measuring longitudinal and transverse anisotropic magnetoresistance coefficients. Calculations based on the mean-field kinetic-exchange model of (Ga,Mn)As provide microscopic understanding of the measured effect. Electrically induced magnetization switching and detection of unconventional crystalline components of the anisotropic magnetoresistance are presented, illustrating the generic utility of the piezo voltage control to provide new device functionalities and in the research of micromagnetic and magnetotransport phenomena in diluted magnetic semiconductors.

description: Primordial fluctuations in inflationary cosmology acquire classical properties through decoherence when their wavelengths become larger than the Hubble scale. Although decoherence is effective, it is not complete, so a significant part of primordial correlations remains up to the present moment. We address the issue of the pointer states which provide a classical basis for the fluctuations with respect to the influence by an environment (other fields). Applying methods from the quantum theory of open systems (the Lindblad equation), we show that this basis is given by narrow Gaussians that approximate eigenstates of field amplitudes. We calculate both the von Neumann and linear entropy of the fluctuations. Their ratio to the maximal entropy per field mode defines a degree of partial decoherence in the entropy sense. We also determine the time of partial decoherence making the Wigner function positive everywhere which, for super-Hubble modes during inflation, is virtually independent of coupling to the environment and is only slightly larger than the Hubble time. On the other hand, assuming a representative environment (a photon bath), the decoherence time for sub-Hubble modes is finite only if some real dissipation exists.

description: Thermal stability is a desirable property for many proteins of biotechnological interest. In this work we modeled the unfolding of the wild-type DhaA and a more stable mutant. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed at high temperature and Markov state models were constructed to describe the unfolding pathways. This allowed us to characterize the different states and predict unfolding rates. The results were in agreement with the experimental data. The main unfolding sites were identified and were used as hot-spots to improve further the stability. Following different computational strategies, several mutations are proposed and will be tested experimentally.

description: We present results of electronic structure calculations for aluminium contacts of atomic size, based on density functional theory and the local density approximation. Addressing the atomic orbitals at the neck of the nanocontact, we find that the local band structure deviates strongly from bulk fcc aluminium. In particular, hybridization between Al 3s and 3p states is fully suppressed due to directed bonds at the contact. Moreover, a charge transfer of 0.6 electrons off the contact aluminium site is found. Both the suppressed hybridization and the violated charge neutrality are characteristic features of metallic nanocontacts. This fact has serious consequences for models aiming at a microscopic description of transport properties.

description: We systematically perform hydrodynamics simulations of 20 km s^-1 converging flows of the warm neutral medium (WNM) to calculate the formation of the cold neutral medium (CNM), especially focusing on the mean properties of the multiphase interstellar medium (ISM), such as the average shock front position and the mean density on a 10 pc scale. Our results show that the convergence in those mean properties requires 0.02 pc spatial resolution that resolves the cooling length of the thermally unstable neutral medium (UNM) to follow the dynamical condensation from the WNM to CNM. We also find that two distinct post-shock states appear in the mean properties depending on the amplitude of the upstream WNM density fluctuation (= sqrt()/rho_0). When the amplitude > 10 %, the interaction between shocks and density inhomogeneity leads to a strong driving of the post-shock turbulence of > 3 km s^-1, which dominates the energy budget in the shock-compressed layer. The turbulence prevents the dynamical condensation by cooling and the following CNM formation, and the CNM mass fraction remains as ~ 45 %. In contrast, when the amplitude <= 10 %, the shock fronts maintain an almost straight geometry and CNM formation efficiently proceeds, resulting in the CNM mass fraction of ~ 70 %. The velocity dispersion is limited to the thermal-instability mediated level of 2 - 3 km s^-1 and the layer is supported by both turbulent and thermal energy equally. We also propose an effective equation of state that models the multiphase ISM formed by the WNM converging flow as a one-phase ISM.

description: We investigate the general structure of orbital exchange physics in Mott-insulating states of $p$-orbital systems in optical lattices. Orbital orders occur in both the triangular and Kagome lattices. In contrast, orbital exchange in the honeycomb lattice is frustrated as described by a novel quantum 120$^\circ$-model. Its classical ground states are mapped into configurations of the fully-packed loop model with an extra U(1) rotation degree of freedom. Quantum orbital fluctuations select a six-site plaquette ground state ordering pattern in the semiclassical limit from the ``order from disorder'' mechanism. This effect arises from the appearance of a zero energy flat-band of orbital excitations.

Stratified and vertically-shearing streaming instabilities in protoplanetary disks

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Under the right conditions, the streaming instability between imperfectly coupled dust and gas is a powerful mechanism for planetesimal formation as it can concentrate dust grains to the point of gravitational collapse. In its simplest form, the streaming instability can be captured by analyzing the linear stability of unstratified disk models, which represent the midplane of protoplanetary disks. We extend such studies by carrying out vertically-global linear stability analyses of dust layers in protoplanetary disks. We find the dominant form of instability in stratified dust layers is one driven by the vertical gradient in the rotation velocity of the dust-gas mixture, but also requires partial dust-gas coupling. These vertically-shearing streaming instabilities grow on orbital timescales and occur on radial length scales $\sim10^{-3}H_\mathrm{g}$, where $H_\mathrm{g}$ is the local pressure scale height. The classic streaming instability, associated with the relative radial drift between dust and gas, occur on radial length scales $\sim10^{-2}H_\mathrm{g}$, but have much smaller growth rates than vertically-shearing streaming instabilities. Including gas viscosity is strongly stabilizing and leads to vertically-elongated disturbances. We briefly discuss the potential effects of vertically-shearing streaming instabilities on planetesimal formation.

During the simulated tempering simulation, weight parameters for temperature-update and pressure-update are self-updated independently according to the trapezoidal rule. In order to test the effectiveness of the algorithm, we applied our proposed method to a peptide, chignolin, in explicit water. After setting all weight parameters to zero, the weight parameters were quickly determined during the simulation. The simulation realised a uniform random walk in the entire temperature-pressure space.

Rheology and phase separation of poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride)/poly (methyl methacrylate) blends
Creators: name: Chopra, Divya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The effects of shear flow on the phase behavior of a polymer blend with high glass transition temperature, Tg, constituents and small dynamic asymmetry (T,g contrast) were investigated using shear and capillary rheometry, complemented by differential scanning calorimetry and analysis of the extrudates. This blend is a lower critical solution temperature mixture of a random copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride, SMA, and poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA. Both shear-induced mixing, at low and very high shear rates, and shear-induced demixing, at moderate shear rates, were observed. A way to detect and isolate the degradation effects, which are predominant in SMA at high temperatures, and result in opaque but not necessarily phase-separated samples, is also presented. The methodology presented here for the determination of the shear-phase diagram in a flowing polymer blend should be applicable to any industrial mixture, and it is of particular value for assessing the effects of strong shear flow, relevant in processing applications. Furthermore the method of solution preparation, i.e., solution-cast versus melt-mixed samples, did not affect the Theologically determined demixing temperatures. Finally, a simple general thermodynamic model within the framework of Flory's statistical mechanical lattice model is presented for predicting the shear-induced phase changes in polymer fluids. Theoretical predictions of the shear-induced phase diagrams agree reasonably well with selected experiments with the systems polystyrene/dioctyl phthalate and poly(styrene-comaleic anhydride)/poly(methyl methacrylate).

description: In this paper we consider a bipartite system composed of two subsystems each coupled to its own thermal environment. Based on a collision model, we mainly study whether the approximation (i.e., the inter-system interaction is ignored when modeling the system-environment coupling) is valid or not. We also address the problem of heat transport unitedly for both conventional energy-preserving system-environment interactions and non-energy preserving system-environment interactions. For the former interaction, as the inter-system interaction strength increases, at first this approximation gets worse as expected, but then counterintuitively gets better even for a stronger inter-system coupling. For the latter interaction with asymmetry, this approximation gets progressively worse. In this case we realize a perfect thermal rectification, and we can not find apparent rectification effect for the former interaction. Finally and more importantly, our results show that whether this approximation is valid or not is closely related to the quantum correlations between the subsystems, i.e., the weaker the quantum correlations, the more justified the approximation and vice versa.

description: Under conventional "open-" surgery, the physician has to take care of the patient, interact with other clinicians and check several monitoring devices. Nowadays, the Computer Assisted Surgery proposes to integrate 3D cameras in the operating theatre in order to assist the surgeon in performing minimal-invasive surgical punctures. The cameras localize the needle and the computer guides the surgeon towards an intracorporeal clinically-defined target. A visualization system (screen) is employed to provide the surgeon with indirect visual spatial information about the intracorporeal positions of the needle. The present work proposes to use another sensory modality to guide the surgeon thus keeping the visual modality fully dedicated to the surgical gesture. For this, the sensory substitution paradigm using the Bach-y-Rita's "Tongue Display Unit" (TDU) is exploited to provide to the surgeon information of the position tool. The TDU device is composed of a 6x6 matrix of electrodes transmitting electrotactile information on the tongue surface. The underlying idea consists in transmitting information about the deviation of the needle movement with regard to a pre-planned "optimal" trajectory.

description: We study equilibrium conditions between a static, spherically symmetric black hole and classical matter in terms of the radial pressure to density ratio p_r/ρ= w(u), where u is the radial coordinate. It is shown that such an equilibrium is possible in two cases: (i) the well-known case w\to -1 as $u\to u_h (the horizon), i.e., "vacuum" matter, for which ρ(u_h) can be nonzero; (ii) w \to -1/(1+2k) and ρ\sim (u-u_h)^k as u\to u_h, where k>0 is a positive integer (w=-1/3 in the generic case k=1). A non-interacting mixture of these two kinds of matter can also exist. The whole reasoning is local, hence the results do not depend on any global or asymptotic conditions. They mean, in particular, that a static black hole cannot live inside a star with nonnegative pressure and density. As an example, an exact solution for an isotropic fluid with w = -1/3 (that is, a fluid of disordered cosmic strings), with or without vacuum matter, is presented.

Predicting isoform transcripts: What does the comparison of known transcripts in human, mouse and dog tell us?

description: Alternative transcription and alternative splicing mechanisms allow an eukaryotic gene to express a large diversity of isoform transcripts, each one made of a specific combination of genomic segments, the exons. Predicting the whole catalog of isoform transcripts that can be expressed from a gene remains difficult. We have proposed a comparative genomics method allowing to identify orthologous exons shared by a pair of orthologous genes. This method uses functional sites (start, stop codons and splice sites) known in a given source gene to transpose them, through sequence homology search, onto the sequence of an orthologous gene. The obtained gene model allows to determine whether or not the target gene can express an ortholog of a known transcript expressed by the source gene.
In this work, we adapt the approach to the problem of multi-species comparison. We apply it to a set of 2,167 orthologous genes shared between human, mouse and dog, and we predict several thousand of new orthologous transcripts. We then identify a set of 135 genes sharing in all three species the same functional sites and expressing the same transcripts. Finally, we validate some of the transcript predictions from annotations and sequencing data.

description: When suitably generalized and interpreted, the path-integral offers an alternative to the more familiar quantal formalism based on state-vectors, selfadjoint operators, and external observers. Mathematically one generalizes the path-integral-as-propagator to a {\it quantal measure} $μ$ on the space $Ω$ of all ``conceivable worlds'', and this generalized measure expresses the dynamics or law of motion of the theory, much as Wiener measure expresses the dynamics of Brownian motion. Within such ``histories-based'' schemes new, and more ``realistic'' possibilities open up for resolving the philosophical problems of the state-vector formalism. In particular, one can dispense with the need for external agents by locating the predictive content of $μ$ in its sets of measure zero: such sets are to be ``precluded''. But unrestricted application of this rule engenders contradictions. One possible response would remove the contradictions by circumscribing the application of the preclusion concept. Another response, more in the tradition of ``quantum logic'', would accommodate the contradictions by dualizing $Ω$ to a space of ``co-events'' and effectively identifying reality with an element of this dual space.

description: We record what is known about the closed forms for various Bessel function moments arising in quantum field theory, condensed matter theory and other parts of mathematical physics. More generally, we develop formulae for integrals of products of six or fewer Bessel functions. In consequence, we are able to discover and prove closed forms for $c_{n,k}:=\int_0^\infty t^k K_0^n(t) {\rm d}t$ with integers $n=1,2,3,4$ and $k\ge0$, obtaining new results for the even moments $c_{3,2k}$ and $c_{4,2k}$. We also derive new closed forms for the odd moments $s_{n,2k+1}:=\int_0^\infty t^{2k+1}I_0^{}(t) K_0^{n-1}(t) {\rm d}t$ with $n=3,4$ and for $t_{n,2k+1}:=\int_0^\infty t^{2k+1}I_0^2(t) K_0^{n-2}(t) {\rm d}t$ with $n=5$, relating the latter to Green functions on hexagonal, diamond and cubic lattices. We conjecture the values of $s_{5,2k+1}$, make substantial progress on the evaluation of $c_{5,2k+1}$, $s_{6,2k+1}$ and $t_{6,2k+1}$ and report more limited progress regarding $c_{5,2k}$, $c_{6,2k+1}$ and $c_{6,2k}$. In the process, we obtain 8 conjectural evaluations, each of which has been checked to 1200 decimal places. One of these lies deep in 4- dimensional quantum field theory and two are probably provable by delicate combinatorics. There remains a hard core of five conjectures whose proofs would be most instructive, to mathematicians and physicists alike.

description: The vanishing of the Higgs quartic coupling at a high energy scale may be explained by Intermediate Scale Supersymmetry, where supersymmetry breaks at $(10^9$-$10^{12})$ GeV. The possible range of supersymmetry breaking scales can be narrowed down by precise measurements of the top quark mass and the strong coupling constant. On the other hand, nuclear recoil experiments can probe Higgsino or sneutrino dark matter up to a mass of $10^{12}$ GeV. We derive the correlation between the dark matter mass and precision measurements of standard model parameters, including supersymmetric threshold corrections. The dark matter mass is bounded from above as a function of the top quark mass and the strong coupling constant. The top quark mass and the strong coupling constant are bounded from above and below respectively for a given dark matter mass. We also discuss how the observed dark matter abundance can be explained by freeze-out or freeze-in during a matter-dominated era after inflation, with the inflaton condensate being dissipated by thermal effects.

description: Due to its rising importance in science and technology in recent years, particle tracking in videos presents itself as a tool for successfully acquiring new knowledge in the field of life sciences and physics. Accordingly, different particle tracking methods for various scenarios have been developed. In this article, we present a particle tracking application implemented in Python for, in particular, spherical magnetic particles, including superparamagnetic beads and Janus particles. In the following, we distinguish between two sub-steps in particle tracking, namely the localization of particles in single images and the linking of the extracted particle positions of the subsequent frames into trajectories. We provide an intensity-based localization technique to detect particles and two linking algorithms, which apply either frame-by-frame linking or linear assignment problem solving. Beyond that, we offer helpful tools to preprocess images automatically as well as estimate parameters required for the localization algorithm by utilizing machine learning. As an extra, we have implemented a technique to estimate the current spatial orientation of Janus particles within the x-y-plane. Our framework is readily extendable and easy-to-use as we offer a graphical user interface and a command-line tool. Various output options, such as data frames and videos, ensure further analysis that can be automated.
