description: We investigate a set of stochastic models of biodiversity, population genetics, language evolution and opinion dynamics on a network within a common framework. Each node has a state, 0 < x_i < 1, with interactions specified by strengths m_{ij}. For any set of m_{ij} we derive an approximate expression for the mean time to reach fixation or consensus (all x_i=0 or 1). Remarkably in a case relevant to language change this time is independent of the network structure.

The resurgence of the Dharma : transnational Buddhism in contemporary Mongolia
Creators: name: Temur, Gesar
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2015

description: In the last two decades there has been an influx of foreign religious communities into Mongolia. The government in the newly democratic country supports freedom of belief, and the Mongols - and their politicians - see it as important to revive the traditional religion of Mongolian Buddhism as a way of recovering and strengthening their own national identity. Not only have the indigenous Mongolian Buddhist organisations been active in their teaching and social work, but Buddhist missionary organisations from abroad are also strongly interested in expanding their influence there. This thesis investigates the attraction Western Buddhism has for modern Mongolians and its relationship to the country's economic, political and social agendas. It focuses on the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), the largest international Buddhist organisation in the West, which established itself in Mongolia in 1999. The FPMT is a network of Buddhist centres focusing on spreading what it claims to be traditional Tibetan Buddhism. Its mission is to preserve the teaching of the Gelug tradition, promoting it to the lay society in Mongolia. Based on interviews and using social theories, this thesis explores how transnational Buddhism contributes to modernisation, and how conversion to this from can help to influence national identity and cultural preservation.

Process-wide performance monitoring
Creators: name: Jiang, Li
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Today's process industries have shown a great concern on how to improve their product quality. The product quality, however, can be improved only when the process performance has been improved. Process performance monitoring, using only the routine operating data without interfering with the normal process operation, makes it possible to improve process performance and hence is useful to process industries. In this thesis, a hierarchical performance monitoring system is proposed and tested. The hierarchical monitoring system consists of two levels. The higher-level takes advantage of the advanced statistical regression analysis methods principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) to assess large amounts of correlated process data. This level is able to provide overall process monitoring and a reliable detection for process abnormality. The lower-level is loop-oriented, and is designed to give detailed performance monitoring and fault diagnosis. It detects loop oscillation and locates the source of the oscillation; it detects high-friction in a valve and evaluates the controller itself. Spectral analysis and time series analysis methods and an adaptive nonlinear modeller (ANM) are used for the purpose of diagnosis at the lower-level. Considering the practical needs, a model-free controller tuning algorithm, iterative feedback tuning (IFT), is also built into the lower-level. Integrated in a complementary manner, the two levels can monitor the process performance with enhanced strength.

description: We revisit a nearly ten-year old controversy on the diphoton decay of the Higgs particle. To a large extent, the controversy turned around the respective merits of the regularization techniques employed. The novel aspect of our approach is that no regularization techniques are brought to bear: we work within the Bogoliubov--Epstein--Glaser scheme of renormalization by extension of distributions. Solving the problem actually required an expansion of this method's toolkit, furnished in the paper.

description: We present a measurement of R_B, the ratio of the branching fraction for the rare decay D0 -> K+ pi- to that for the Cabibbo-favored decay D0 -> K- pi+. Charge conjugate decays are implicitly included. A signal of 2005 +/- 104 events for the decay D0 -> K+ pi- is obtained using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.35 1/fb produced in p-bar/p collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. Assuming no mixing, we find R_B = [ 4.05 +/- 0.21 (stat) +/- 0.11 (syst) ] x 10(-3). This measurement is consistent with the world average, and comparable in accuracy with the best measurements from other experiments.

Characterization of West Nile virus strains isolated in Italy

Subjects: MED/07 Microbiologia e microbiologia clinica

description: West Nile virus (WNV) is a neurotropic flavivirus that is maintained in an enzootic cycle between mosquitoes and birds, but can also infect and cause disease in humans and other vertebrate species. Most of WNV infections in humans are asymptomatic, but approximately 20% of infected people develop clinical symptoms, although severe neurological diseases are observed in less than 1% of them. WNV is the most widely distributed arbovirus in the world and has been recently associated with outbreaks of meningo-encephalitis in Europe, including Italy, caused by different viral strains belonging to distinct lineages 1 and 2. The hypothesis is that genetic divergence among viral strains currently circulating in Italy might reflect on their pathogenic potential and that the rapid spread of WNV with increased pathogenicity within naïve population suggest that epidemic forms of the virus may encode mechanisms to evade host immunity. Infection with WNV triggers a delayed host response that includes a delay in the production of interferon-α (IFN-α). IFNs are a family of immuno-modulatory cytokines that are produced in response to virus infection and serve as integral signal initiators of host intracellular defenses. The increased number of human cases and the lack of data about virulence of European WNV isolates highlight the importance to achieve a better knowledge on this emerging viral infection. In the present study, we investigate the phenotypic and IFN-α-regulatory properties of different WNV lineage 1 and 2 strains that are circulating in Europe/Italy in two cell lines: Vero and 1321N1. We demonstrate that: Vero and 1321N1 cells are capable of supporting WNV replication where different WNV strains show similar growth kinetics; WNV lineage 2 strain replicated in Vero and 1321N1 cells as efficiently as WNV lineage 1 strains; and both lineages 1 and 2 were highly susceptible to the antiviral actions of IFN-α.
Clinical outcome and biological characteristics of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia patients treated with nilotinib front-line

description: The present work reports the outcome of the GIMEMA CML WP study CML0811, an independent trial investigating nilotinib as front-line treatment in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Moreover, the results of the proteomic analysis of the CD34+ cells collected at CML diagnosis, compared to the counterpart from healthy donors, are reported.
Our study confirmed that nilotinib is highly effective in the prevention of the progression to accelerated/blast phase, a condition that today is still associated with high mortality rates. Despite the relatively short follow-up, cardiovascular issues, particularly atherosclerotic adverse events (AE), have emerged, and the frequency of these AEs may counterbalance the anti-leukemic efficacy. The deep molecular response rates in our study compare favorably to those obtained with imatinib, in historic cohorts, and confirm the findings of the Company-sponsored ENESTnd study. Considering the increasing rates of deep MR over time we observed, a significant proportion of patients will be candidate to treatment discontinuation in the next years, with higher probability of remaining disease-free in the long term.  The presence of the additional and complex changes we found at the proteomic level in CML CD34+ cells should be taken into account for the investigation on novel targeted therapies, aimed at the eradication of 
the disease.
A New Test Rig for In-Vitro Evaluation

description: The evaluation of the knee joint behavior is fundamental in many applications, such as joint modeling, prosthesis and orthosis design. In-vitro tests are important in order to
analyse knee behavior when simulating various loading conditions and studying physiology of the joint.
A new test rig for in-vitro evaluation of the knee joint behavior is presented in this paper. It represents the evolution of a previously proposed rig, designed to overcome its principal limitations and to improve its performances. The design procedure and the adopted solution in order to satisfy the specifications are presented here.
Thanks to its 6-6 Gough-Stewart parallel manipulator loading system, the rig replicates general loading conditions, like daily actions or clinical tests, on the specimen in a wide range of flexion angles. The restraining actions of knee muscles can be simulated when active actions are simulated. The joint motion in response to the applied loads, guided by passive articular structures and muscles, is permitted by the characteristics of the
loading system which is force controlled. The new test rig guarantees visibility so that motion can be measured by an optoelectronic system. Furthermore, the control system
of the new test rig allows the estimation of the contribution of the principal leg muscles in guaranteeing the equilibrium of the joint by the system for muscle simulation. Accuracy in positioning is guaranteed by the designed tibia and femur fixation systems,which allow unmounting and remounting the specimen in the same pose.
The test rig presented in this paper permits the analysis of the behavior of the knee joint and comparative analysis on the same specimen before and after surgery, in a way to
assess the goodness of prostheses or surgical treatments.

description: Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs) are important sources for space-borne gravitational wave detectors, such as LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) and TianQin. Previous EMRI rate studies have focused on the "loss cone" scenario, where stellar-mass black holes (sBHs) are scattered into highly eccentric orbits near the central massive black hole (MBH) via multi-body interaction. In this work, we calculate the rate of EMRIs of an alternative formation channel: EMRI formation assisted by the accretion flow around accreting massive black holes. In this scenario, sBHs and stars on inclined orbits are captured by the accretion disk, and then subsequently migrate towards the MBH, under the influence of density wave generation and head wind. By solving the Fokker-Planck equation incorporating both sBH-sBH/sBH-star scatterings and sBH/star-disk interactions, we find that an accretion disk usually boosts the EMRI formation rate per individual MBH by $\mathcal O(10^1-10^3)$ compared with the canonical "loss cone" formation channel. Taking into account that the fraction of active galactic nucleus (AGNs) is $\sim \mathcal O(10^{-2}-10^{-1})$, where the MBHs are expected to be rapidly accreting, we expect EMRI formation assisted by AGN disks to be an important channel for all EMRIs observed by space-borne gravitational wave detectors. These two channels also predict distinct distributions of EMRI eccentricities and orbit inclinations with respect to the MBH spin equatorial plan, which can be tested by future gravitational wave observations.

Special attention is given also to the description of Socrates’ midwifery (Theaet., 149 a 1-151 d 3), since by means of Plato’s description Socrates’ activity can be perceived as quintessence of a practice which, like improvisation, without any predetermination, while concretely proceeding invents the norm consonant with each singular situation of ist proceeding.

description: The essay proposes an interpretation of the myth of the cave as a passage from a digital ontology (that of the cave) to a non-digital ontology (outside the cave). This passage implies a reconsideration of Parmenidean and Pythagorean ontology, for which the discovery of incommensurable magnitudes is central. In particular, it allows an exteriority (as difference, negativity, dynamis, and so on) to a given system to be conceptualized, in which the possibility of an exit and then of freedom lies.

speculative problem is expounded by the Stagirite especially in Rhetoric, using
the strange word αυτοκάβδαλος, which will be analysed for the first time.
Moreover, the very reconstruction of the question is connected to the
development of the epicurean doctrine of clinamen as sudden atomic motion.

description: The study of bond alternation in one-dimensional electronic systems has had a long history. Theoretical work in the 1930s predicted the absence of bond alternation in the limit of infinitely long conjugated polymers; a result later contradicted by experimental investigations. When this issue was re-examined in the 1950s it was shown in the adiabatic limit that bond alternation occurs for any value of electron-phonon coupling. The question of whether this conclusion remains valid for quantized nuclear degrees of freedom was first addressed in the 1980s. Since then a series of numerical calculations on models with gapped, dispersionless phonons have suggested that bond alternation is destroyed by quantum fluctuations below a critical value of electron-phonon coupling. In this work we study a more realistic model with gapless, dispersive phonons. By solving this model with the DMRG method we show that bond alternation remains robust for any value of electron-phonon coupling.

description: This paper is aimed at clarifying the connection between two notions that are inherently related in Hegel's philosophy, namely system and freedom. I will show how these two notions are mutually supportive, that is to say, they imply one another. I believe this dynamic can shed light on the relationship between rationality and improvisation. More specifically, through the discussion of the relationship between freedom and system, that is, the relationship between freedom and reason, I will investigate the peculiar form of rationality that is active in the practice of conscious improvisation. Moreover, I will explore the inherent necessity enlivening and constituting the experience of freedom that is embodied in this practice.

description: We numerically study the wetting (adsorption) transition of a polymer chain on a disordered substrate in 1+1 dimension.Following the Poland-Scheraga model of DNA denaturation, we use a Fixman-Freire scheme for the entropy of loops. This allows us to consider chain lengths of order $N \sim 10^5 $ to $10^6$, with $10^4$ disorder realizations. Our study is based on the statistics of loops between two contacts with the substrate, from which we define Binder-like parameters: their crossings for various sizes $N$ allow a precise determination of the critical temperature, and their finite size properties yields a crossover exponent $ϕ=1/(2-α) \simeq 0.5$.We then analyse at criticality the distribution of loop length $l$ in both regimes $l \sim O(N)$ and $1 \ll l \ll N$, as well as the finite-size properties of the contact density and energy. Our conclusion is that the critical exponents for the thermodynamics are the same as those of the pure case, except for strong logarithmic corrections to scaling. The presence of these logarithmic corrections in the thermodynamics is related to a disorder-dependent logarithmic singularity that appears in the critical loop distribution in the rescaled variable $λ=l/N$ as $λ\to 1$.

Origin of anomalous temperature dependence of Nernst effect in narrow-gap semiconductors

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: Based on the Boltzmann transport theory, we study the origin of the anomalous temperature dependence of the Nernst coefficient ($ν$) due to the phonon-drag mechanism. For narrow-gap semiconductors, we find that there are two characteristic temperatures at which a noticeable peak structure appears in $ν$. Contrarily, the Seebeck coefficient ($S$) always has only one peak. While the breakdown of the Sondheimer cancellation due to the momentum-dependence of the electron relaxation time is essential for the peak in $ν$ at low $T$, the contribution of the valence band to the phonon-drag current is essential for the peak at higher $T$. By considering this mechanism, we successfully reproduce $ν$ and $S$ of FeSb$_2$ for which a gigantic phonon-drag effect is observed experimentally.

description: Filamentous fungi are harnessed as cell factories for the production of a diverse range of organic acids, proteins, and secondary metabolites. Growth and morphology have critical implications for product titres in both submerged and solid-state fermentations. Recent advances in systems-level understanding of the filamentous lifestyle and development of sophisticated synthetic biological tools for controlled manipulation of fungal genomes now allow rational strain development programs based on data-driven decision making. In this review, we focus on Aspergillus spp. and other industrially utilised fungi to summarise recent insights into the multifaceted and dynamic relationship between filamentous growth and product titres from genetic, metabolic, modelling, subcellular, macromorphological and process engineering perspectives. Current progress and knowledge gaps with regard to mechanistic understanding of product secretion and export from the fungal cell are discussed. We highlight possible strategies for unlocking lead genes for rational strain optimizations based on omics data, and discuss how targeted genetic manipulation of these candidates can be used to optimise fungal morphology for improved performance. Additionally, fungal signalling cascades are introduced as critical processes that can be genetically targeted to control growth and morphology during biotechnological applications. Finally, we review progress in the field of synthetic biology towards chassis cells and minimal genomes, which will eventually enable highly programmable filamentous growth and diversified production capabilities. Ultimately, these advances will not only expand the fungal biotechnology portfolio but will also significantly contribute to a sustainable bio-economy.

description: We study Feynman integrals and scattering amplitudes in ${\cal N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills by exploiting the duality with null polygonal Wilson loops. Certain Feynman integrals, including one-loop and two-loop chiral pentagons, are given by Feynman diagrams of a supersymmetric Wilson loop, where one can perform loop integrations and be left with simple integrals along edges. As the main application, we compute analytically for the first time, the symbol of the generic ($n\geq 12$) double pentagon, which gives two-loop MHV amplitudes and components of NMHV amplitudes to all multiplicities. We represent the double pentagon as a two-fold $\mathrm{d} \log$ integral of a one-loop hexagon, and the non-trivial part of the integration lies at rationalizing square roots contained in the latter. We obtain a remarkably compact "algebraic words" which contain $6$ algebraic letters for each of the $16$ square roots, and they all nicely cancel in combinations for MHV amplitudes and NMHV components which are free of square roots. In addition to $96$ algebraic letters, the alphabet consists of $152$ dual conformal invariant combinations of rational letters.

Lett. 90 (2003) 130402] i.e. the perfect transmission at low energy limit of tunneling of phonon excitations across the potential barrier separating two Bose condensates. The perfect transmission is a consequence of the coincidence of the wave function of the excited state at low energy limit and the macroscopic wave function of the condensate. We show that the perfect transmission at low energy occurs even at finite temperatures within the scheme of Popov approximation.

description: In Ravaisson’s philosophy, the concept of spontaneity refers to the first, basic and organic form of improvisation. Nature consists in fact of a rational law of development named habit, that regulates all movements, summarizing the external impulsions and the internal penchants in the form of spontaneous activity. However the insertion of spontaneity in nature determines the appearance of unpredictability and negativity in life’s productions, like organic and psychical pathologies. Ravaisson will try to show how this morbid spontaneity belongs to nature’s rationality.

description: The EU funded XMM2Athena project aims at developing and testing new methods and software to allow the community to follow the X-ray transient sky in quasi-real time, identify multiwavelength/messenger counterparts of the sources detected with XMM-Newton and determine their nature using advanced machine learning methods and probe the faintest sources using innovative stacking and detection algorithms. Within this project we developed software to perform automated fits based on a Bayesian approach. We did spectral fits of the 319565 detections with spectra in the 4XMM-DR11 catalogue using a simple absorbed powerlaw model. Furthermore, we fit combined spectra for the 30325 sources that have been observed more than once, based on the XMM-Newton stacked catalogue, using an absorbed powerlaw as well as an absorbed blackbody model. We performed quality checks and investigated the distributions of the spectral parameters. Here we will present the results of our efforts and promote our catalogues to encourage the community to make use of them.

The model assumes an empirically motivated torus-like flux rope structure that expands self-similarly within the heliosphere, is influenced by a simplified interaction with the solar wind environment, and carries along an embedded analytical magnetic field. The improved 3DCORE implementation allows us to generate extremely large ensemble simulations which we then use to find global best-fit model parameters using an ABC sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithm. The usage of this algorithm, under some basic assumptions on the uncertainty of the magnetic field measurements, allows us to furthermore generate estimates on the uncertainty of model parameters using only a single in situ observation. We apply our model to synthetically generated measurements to prove the validity of our implementation for the fitting procedure. We also present a brief analysis, within the scope of our model, of an event captured by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) shortly after its first fly-by of the Sun on 2018 November 12 at 0.25 AU. The presented toolset is also easily extendable to the analysis of events captured by multiple spacecraft and will therefore facilitate future multi-point studies.

description: We provide a minimal alternative gauged U(1)$_{\rm B-L}$ model in which three right-handed neutrinos with charges of (5,-4,-4) and only one B-L Higgs field with charge 1 are introduced. Consistent active neutrino masses and mixings can be obtained if the $Z_2$ symmetry on two of the right-handed neutrinos is introduced. It predicts two heavy degenerate right-handed neutrinos, which may realize resonant leptogenesis scenario, and one relatively light sterile neutrino, which is a good dark matter candidate.

description: Using mean field theory, we have studied Bose-Fermi mixtures in a one-dimensional optical lattice in the case of an attractive boson-fermion interaction. We consider that the fermions are in the degenerate regime and that the laser intensities are such that quantum coherence across the condensate is ensured. We discuss the effect of the optical lattice on the critical rotational frequency for vortex line creation in the Bose-Einstein condensate, as well as how it affects the stability of the boson-fermion mixture. A reduction of the critical frequency for nucleating a vortex is observed as the strength of the applied laser is increased. The onset of instability of the mixture occurs for a sizeably lower number of fermions in the presence of a deep optical lattice.

Remarks on the factorization and monotonicity method for inverse acoustic scatterings

description: We study the factorization and monotonicity method for inverse acoustic scattering problems. Firstly, we give a new general functional analysis theorem for the monotonicity method. Comparing with the factorization method, the general theorem of the monotonicity generates reconstruction schemes under weaker {\it a priori} assumptions for unknown targets, and can directly deal with mixed problems so that the unknown targets have several different boundary conditions. Using the general theorem, we give the reconstruction scheme for the mixed crack that the Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed on one side of the crack and the Neumann boundary condition on the other side, which is a new extension of monotonicity method.

description: Anticipating cross-species transmission of zoonotic diseases requires an understanding of pathogen infection dynamics within natural reservoir hosts. Although bats might be a source of coronaviruses (CoVs) for humans, the drivers of infection dynamics in bat populations have received limited attention. We conducted a fine-scale 2-year longitudinal study of CoV infection dynamics in the largest colony of Reunion free-tailed bats (Mormopterus francoismoutoui), a tropical insectivorous species. Real-time PCR screening of 1080 fresh individual faeces samples collected during the two consecutive years revealed an extreme variation of the detection rate of bats shedding viruses over the birthing season (from 0% to 80%). Shedding pulses were repeatedly observed and occurred both during late pregnancy and within two months after parturition. An additional shedding pulse at the end of the second year suggests some inter-annual variations. We also detected viral RNA in bat guano up to three months after bats had left the cave. Our results highlight the importance of fine-scale longitudinal studies to capture the rapid change of bat CoV infection over months, and that CoV shedding pulses in bats may increase spillover risk.

description: There was a couple. The woman spent all of her time partying and didn't love her husband. The husband went hunting with his father-in-law and while they were smoking the meat, he decided to spend the night by the campfire. The husband's body was shrinking and all that was left in the morning was his head. They were returning home and when they were halfway there, he decided to stay there so that his wife comes to help him. When his wife came, he plunged and got stuck in her vagina. She got really sick. Shamans helped her and said that she should go by the river and feed on catfish. They made a trap out of the head and she went by the river. After many years, she returned and they threw her a trap party and burned everything and said that she should not touch the corpse. The woman was drunk and decided to take revenge and hit his skull with a machete. At the end, a lightning struck the woman and the skull exploded.

description: We consider asymptotically anti-de Sitter gravity coupled to tachyonic scalar fields with mass at or slightly above the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound in d greater than or equal to 4 spacetime dimensions. The boundary conditions in these ``designer gravity'' theories are defined in terms of an arbitrary function W. We give a general argument that the Hamiltonian generators of asymptotic symmetries for such systems will be finite, and proceed to construct these generators using the covariant phase space method. The direct calculation confirms that the generators are finite and shows that they take the form of the pure gravity result plus additional contributions from the scalar fields. By comparing the generators to the spinor charge, we derive a lower bound on the gravitational energy when i) W has a global minimum, ii) the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound is not saturated, and iii) the scalar potential V admits a certain type of "superpotential."

Paper machine data analysis and optimization using wavelets
Creators: name: Jiao, Xuejun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis describes paper machine data analysis methods using wavelet and wavelet packets and their applications, aiming at improving paper machine efficiency. First, the validity and accuracy of the wavelet transform are confirmed by applying discrete wavelet transform to paper samples using both the paper machine on-line scanner data and off-line analyzer data. Results show that the wavelet transform can represent paper machine process data economically without loss of detail, and that it can also provide excellent visualization to the operator. Process monitoring and control performance assessment are then studied. By separating controllable and uncontrollable variations in the cross machine direction profile, the achieved performance and the best possible performance of the system are evaluated. A CD performance index can be calculated on-line, providing the operator with a quick assessment of the control system performance. Both wavelet and wavelet packets are used and the results are compared. Finally, the processed paper machine profiles obtained through wavelet and wavelet packet analysis are used for trim-loss optimization taking into account paper quality. Three different optimization schemes are compared and the potential savings through trim-loss optimization before and after improving control are analyzed.

description: We demonstrate the loading of a Bose-Fermi mixture into a microfabricated magnetic trap. In a single-chamber vacuum system, laser-cooled atoms are transported to the surface of a substrate on which gold wires have been microfabricated. The magnetic field minimum formed near these current-carrying wires is used to confine up to $6\times10^4$ neutral $^{40}$K atoms. In addition, we can simultaneously load $2 \times 10^5$ $^{87}$Rb atoms, demonstrating the confinement of two distinct elements with such a trap. In a sequence optimized for $^{87}$Rb alone, we observe up to $1 \times 10^7$ trapped atoms. We describe in detail the experimental apparatus, and discuss prospects for evaporative cooling towards quantum degeneracy in both species.

description: The design of an electrical machine can be quantified and evaluated by Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as maximum torque, critical field strength, costs of active parts, sound power, etc. Generally, cross-domain tool-chains are used to optimize all the KPIs from different domains (multi-objective optimization) by varying the given input parameters in the largest possible design space. This optimization process involves magneto-static finite element simulation to obtain these decisive KPIs. It makes the whole process a vehemently time-consuming computational task that counts on the availability of resources with the involvement of high computational cost. In this paper, a data-aided, deep learning-based meta-model is employed to predict the KPIs of an electrical machine quickly and with high accuracy to accelerate the full optimization process and reduce its computational costs. The focus is on analyzing various forms of input data that serve as a geometry representation of the machine. Namely, these are the cross-section image of the electrical machine that allows a very general description of the geometry relating to different topologies and the classical way with scalar parametrization of geometry. The impact of the resolution of the image is studied in detail. The results show a high prediction accuracy and proof that the validity of a deep learning-based meta-model to minimize the optimization time. The results also indicate that the prediction quality of an image-based approach can be made comparable to the classical way based on scalar parameters.

description: We have investigated the expansion of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of strongly magnetic chromium atoms. The long-range and anisotropic magnetic dipole-dipole interaction leads to an anisotropic deformation of the expanding Cr-BEC which depends on the orientation of the atomic dipole moments. Our measurements are consistent with the theory of dipolar quantum gases and show that a Cr-BEC is an excellent model system to study dipolar interactions in such gases.
