description: We review the calculation of Fermi's golden rule for a system of $N$-body dipoles, magnetic or electric, weakly interacting with a blackbody radiation. By using the magnetic or electric field-field correlation function evaluated in the 1960s for the black body radiation, we deduce a general formula for the transition rates and study its limiting, fully coherent or fully incoherent, regimes.

description: Schrumpfen und Wachsen sind, wie die theoretische Reflexion zeigt, inhärente Bestandteile des Strukturwandels der Wirtschaft und sie sollten, wie die empirische Analyse erweist zu elementaren Bestandteilen einer ökologischen Strukturpolitik werden. In diesem Aufsatz wird anhand vergleichender empirischer Studien festgestellt dass der autonome wirtschaftliche Strukturwandel zwar eine notwendige, jedoch keine hinreichende Bedingung einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung (sustainable development) ist. In der Praxis ist Politik daher weiterhin gefragt eine effektive ökologische Politik allerdings, die vor allem aber nicht ausschließlich von zwei Ressorts formuliert und implementiert werden muss: der Umwelt und der Wirtschaftspolitik.
description: On theoretical reflection, growth and decline are inherent elements of structural change of the economy; and empirical analysis shows that they should be made elementary parts of an ecological structural policy. On basis of international comparisons, this article shows that autonomous structural change of the economy is a necessary though not sufficient condition of sustainable development. In practice, policies are still much needed to promote ecological modernization of industrial society.

description: With a current electrification rate of 60% (2022), Senegal government plans to achieve policy goals for Universal Electricity Access by 2035. And this passes through the development of electrification projects particulary for the rural areas. This presentation is about rural electrification planning for Senegal by using the open source and interactive platform : Energy Access Explorer. By using the EAE platform, scenarios were investigated to get high priority areas where the solar minigrids should be expanded. By matching supply to the growing demand, the aim is to identify the high priority rural areas for off-grids electrification with solar technology and visualise how electricity demand is distributed with priority accorded to health access. The scenarios combined 2 datasets in demand (demographics and social productives uses like healthcare facilities) and 3 datasets in supply (solar resources, grid network and existing mini-grids) These scenarios were run for learning purposes at the Joint Summer School on Modelling Tools for Sustainable Development 2023 (#SDSummerSchool), held from 3 to 13 July 2023 at Trieste (Italy) through an ICTP Hybrid Meeting. The track was focusing on EAE tool : "Energy Access Explorer: A Data-driven, Integrated and Inclusive Approach to Planning for Achieving Universal Access to Energy for Equitable Development". More scenarios will be created furthermore, knowing that this training allowed Senegal to have access to the EAE plarform for the first time and manage data in its back-end and front-end.

description: We consider stationary, axially symmetric toroids rotating around spinless black holes, assuming the general-relativistic Keplerian rotation law, in the first post-Newtonian approximation. Numerical investigation shows that the angular momentum accumulates almost exclusively within toroids. It appears that various types of dragging (anti-dragging) effects are positively correlated with the ratio $M_\mathrm{D}/m$ ($M_\mathrm{D}$ is the mass of a toroid and $m$ is the mass of the black hole) - moreover, their maxima are proportional to $M_\mathrm{D}/m$. The horizontal sizes of investigated toroids range from c. 50 to c. 450 of Schwarzschild radii $R_\mathrm{S}$ of the central black hole; their mass $M_\mathrm{D} \in (10^{-4}m, 40m)$ and the radial size of the system is c. 500 $R_\mathrm{S}$. We found that the relative strength of various dragging (anti-dragging) effects does not change with the mass ratio, but it depends on the size of toroids. Several isoperimetric inequalities involving angular momentum are shown to hold true.

Παρόλο που ο όροι υβριδικές επιχειρήσεις και υβριδικός πόλεμος αποτελούν νεολογισμούς η ουσία τους συναντάται ήδη από την εποχή της αρχαιότητας με χαρακτηριστικό παράδειγμα τη χρήση του Δούρειου ίππου στον Tρωικό πόλεμο. Το πνεύμα του Υβριδικού Πολέμου έγκειται πέρα των συμβατικών μέσων διεξαγωγής των πολεμικών επιχειρήσεων με την αξιοποίηση μεθόδων τακτικών και όπλων τα οποία δεν συγκαταλέγονται στα παραδοσιακά έχοντας ως απώτερο στόχο την επίτευξη πολιτικών σκοπών.

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to outline the evolution of “hybrid warfare”, a term that has become a household word in the current academic literature. Although the term hybrid operations and hybrid warfare are neologisms, their essential function is known from ancient times with the typical example of the Trojan horse. Hybrid Warfare transcends conventional weaponry and means in use for combat operations. It includes tactical methods and weapons utilized in order to obtain the ultimate goal of achieving specific political ends. Keeping that in mind, internet, media, non-state actors, organizations, uprisings, economic dependencies between states, crime, terrorism, etc. are potential weapons to be exploited in the field of hybrid warfare. Finally, from the «hybrid» point of view, relevant historical examples are presented from Nazi Germany and the Cuban Missile Crisis to China and Russian operations in Crimea

description: Radical-ion pairs and their reactions have triggered the study of quantum effects in biological systems. This is because they exhibit a number of effects best understood within quantum information science, and at the same time are central in understanding the avian magnetic compass and the spin transport dynamics in photosynthetic reaction centers. Here we address radical-pair reactions from the perspective of quantum metrology. Since the coherent spin motion of radical-pairs is effected by an external magnetic field, these spin-dependent reactions essentially realize a biochemical magnetometer. Using the quantum Fisher information, we find the fundamental quantum limits to the magnetic sensitivity of radical-pair magnetometers. We then explore how well the usual measurement scheme considered in radical-pair reactions, the measurement of reaction yields, approaches the fundamental limits. In doing so, we find the optimal hyperfine interaction Hamiltonian that leads to the best magnetic sensitivity as obtained from reaction yields. This is still an order of magnitude smaller than the absolute quantum limit. Finally, we demonstrate that with a realistic quantum reaction control reminding of Ramsey interferometry, here presented as a quantum circuit involving the spin-exchange interaction and a recently proposed molecular switch, we can approach the fundamental quantum limit within a factor of 2. This work opens the application of well-advanced quantum metrology methods to biological systems.

description: Pragmatic interoperability between platforms and service-oriented architectures exists whenever there is an agreement on the roles of participants and components as well as minimum standards for good practice. In this work, it is argued that open platforms require pragmatic interoperability, complementing syntactic interoperability (e.g., through common file formats), and semantic interoperability by ontologies that provide agreed definitions for entities and relations. For consistent data management and the provision of services in computational molecular engineering, community-governed agreements on pragmatics need to be established and formalized. For this purpose, if ontology-based semantic interoperability is already present, the same ontologies can be used. This is illustrated here by the role of the "translator" and procedural definitions for the process of "translation" in materials modelling, which refers to mapping industrial research and development problems onto solutions by modelling and simulation. For the associated roles and processes, substantial previous standardization efforts have been carried out by the European Materials Modelling Council (EMMC). In the present work, the Materials Modelling Translation Ontology (MMTO) is introduced, and it is discussed how the MMTO can contribute to formalizing the pragmatic interoperability standards developed by the EMMC.

Θεωρούμε το πεπλατυσμένο σφαιροειδές σώμα ως έναν αστεροειδή και θεωρούμε επίσης, ένα σώμα αμελητέας μάζας, ας υποθέσουμε ένα διαστημόπλοιο πολύ μικρότερης μάζας από του αστεροιειδή, να περιφέρεται γύρω από αυτόν. Για αρκετά σύνολα αρχικών συνθηκών, ολοκληρώνουμε τις εξισώσεις της κίνησης στο περιστρεφόμενο σύστημα αναφοράς. Για να υπολογίσουμε τα τροχιακά στοιχεία κάθε τροχιάς, χρησιμοποιούμε έναν μετασχηματισμό (πίνακα στροφής με τη χρήση quaternions) από το περιστρεφόμενο στο αδρανειακό σύστημα. Έπειτα, χρησιμοποιώντας τις μέγιστες τιμές του μεγάλου ημιάξονα, της εκκεντρότητας και της κλίσης (amax, emax και imax), δημιουργούμε δυναμικούς χάρτες, οι οποίοι δείχνουν τις ευσταθείς και ασταθείς περιοχές, όσων αφορά τις αρχικές συνθήκες. Στη συνέχεια, μελετούμε τροχιές και από τις δύο περιοχές. Κάποιος μπορεί να δει, με αυτόν τον τρόπο, πώς το σχήμα του αστεροειδή, η αρχική απόσταση του διαστημοπλοίου και κάποιες άλλες παράμετροι, επηρεάζουν την τροχιακή ευστάθεια, γύρω από τον περιστρεφόμενο με μετάπτωση αστεροειδή
description: The aim of this thesis is to study the orbital dynamics in the gravitational field of a precessing oblate spheroid. We consider the oblate spheroid body to be an asteroid and we also consider a body of negligible mass, let's assume a spacecraft of a mass much smaller than the asteroid's, orbiting the precessing asteroid. For several sets of initial conditions, we integrate the equations of motion in the body-fixed (rotating) frame of reference. To compute the orbital elements for each orbit, we use a transformation (rotating matrix in quaternion form) from the rotating to the inertial frame. Then, using the maximum values of the semi-major axis, the eccentricity and the inclination (amax, emax and imax) we create dynamical maps, that show the stable and unstable areas, regarding the initial conditions. After that, we study individual orbits from both areas. In that way, one can see, how the shape of the asteroid, the initial distance of the spacecraft and some other parameters could affect the orbital stability around the precessing asteroid

description: We use the halo occupation distribution (HOD) framework to characterise the predictions from two independent galaxy formation models for the galactic content of dark matter haloes and its evolution with redshift. Our galaxy samples correspond to a range of fixed number densities defined by stellar mass and span $0 \le z \le 3$. We find remarkable similarities between the model predictions. Differences arise at low galaxy number densities which are sensitive to the treatment of heating of the hot halo by active galactic nuclei. The evolution of the form of the HOD can be described in a relatively simple way, and we model each HOD parameter using its value at $z=0$ and an additional evolutionary parameter. In particular, we find that the ratio between the characteristic halo masses for hosting central and satellite galaxies can serve as a sensitive diagnostic for galaxy evolution models. Our results can be used to test and develop empirical studies of galaxy evolution and can facilitate the construction of mock galaxy catalogues for future surveys.

Post fall-back evolution of multipolar magnetic fields and radio pulsar activation

description: It has long been unclear if the small-scale magnetic structures on the neutron star (NS) surface could survive the fall-back episode. The study of the Hall cascade (Cumming, Arras and Zweibel 2004; Wareing and Hollerbach 2009) hinted that energy in small scales structures should dissipate on short timescales. Our new 2D magneto-thermal simulations suggest the opposite. For the first $\sim$10 kyrs after the fall-back episode with accreted mass $10^{-3} M_\odot$, the observed NS magnetic field appears dipolar, which is insensitive to the initial magnetic topology. In framework of the Ruderman & Sutherland (1975) vacuum gap model during this interval, non-thermal radiation is strongly suppressed. After this time the initial (i.e. multipolar) structure begins to re-emerge through the NS crust. We distinguish three evolutionary epochs for the re-emergence process: the growth of internal toroidal field, the advection of buried poloidal field, and slow Ohmic diffusion. The efficiency of the first two stages can be enhanced when small-scale magnetic structure is present. The efficient re-emergence of high order harmonics might significantly affect the curvature of the magnetospheric field lines in the emission zone. So, only after few $10^4$ yrs would the NS starts shining as a pulsar again, which is in correspondence with radio silence of central compact objects (CCOs). In addition, these results can explain the absence of good candidates for thermally emitting NSs with freshly re-emerged field among radio pulsars (Bogdanov, Ng and Kaspi 2014), as NSs have time to cool down, and supernova remnants can already dissipate.

description: One of the fundamental results used in observational cosmology is the distance duality relation (DDR), which relates the luminosity distance, $D_L$, with angular diameter distance, $D_A$, at a given redshift $z$. We employ the observed limits of this relation to constrain the coupling of axion like particles (ALPs) with photons. With our detailed $3D$ ALP-photon mixing simulation in standard $Λ$CDM universe and latest DDR limits observed in Holand \& Barros (2016) we limit the coupling constant $g_ϕ\le 6 \times 10^{-13} GeV^{-1}\left(\frac{nG}{\langle B \rangle_{\rm Mpc}}\right)$ for ALPs of mass $\le 10^{-15}$ eV. The DDR observations can provide very stringent constraint on ALPs mixing in future. Also any deviation in DDR can be conventionally explained as photons decaying to axions or vice-versa.

description: We consider theoretically the impact of Rashba spin-orbit coupling on spin torque oscillators (STOs) in synthetic ferromagnets and antiferromagnets that have either a bulk multilayer or a thin film structure. The synthetic magnets consist of a fixed polarizing layer and two free magnetic layers that interact through the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction. We determine analytically which collinear states along the easy axis that are stable, and establish numerically the phase diagram for when the system is in the STO mode and when collinear configurations are stable, respectively. It is found that the Rashba spin-orbit coupling can induce anti-damping in the vicinity of the collinear states, which assists the spin transfer torque in generating self-sustained oscillations, and that it can substantially increase the STO part of the phase diagram. Moreover, we find that the STO phase can extend deep into the antiferromagnetic regime in the presence of spin-orbit torques.

description: The application of psychophysiological signals in human-computer interaction is a growing field with significant potential for future smart personalised systems. Working in this emerging field requires comprehension of an array of physiological signals and analysis techniques. Pupillometry has been studied for over a century, but it has just recently started being used in human-computer interaction setups. Traditionally, pupil size has been used as an indicator of cognitive workload and mental effort. However, pupil size has been linked to other cognitive processes as well, ranging from attention to affective processing. We present a short review on the application of pupillometry in human-computer interaction. This paper aims to serve as a primer for the novice, enabling rapid familiarisation with the latest core concepts. We put special emphasis on everyday human-computer interface applications to distinguish from the more common clinical or sports uses of psychophysiology. This paper is an extract from a comprehensive review of the entire field of ambulatory psychophysiology, including 12 similar chapters, plus application guidelines and systematic review.

description: Since the discovery of iron-based superconductors, a number of theories have been put forward to explain the qualitative origin of pairing, but there have been few attempts to make quantitative, material-specific comparisons to experimental results. The spin-fluctuation theory of electronic pairing, based on first-principles electronic structure calculations, makes predictions for the superconducting gap. Within the same framework, the surface wave functions may also be calculated, allowing, e.g., for detailed comparisons between theoretical results and measured scanning tunneling topographs and spectra. Here we present such a comparison between theory and experiment on the Fe-based superconductor LiFeAs. Results for the homogeneous surface as well as impurity states are presented as a benchmark test of the theory. For the homogeneous system, we argue that the maxima of topographic image intensity may be located at positions above either the As or Li atoms, depending on tip height and the setpoint current of the measurement. We further report the experimental observation of transitions between As and Li-registered lattices as functions of both tip height and setpoint bias, in agreement with this prediction. Next, we give a detailed comparison between the simulated scanning tunneling microscopy images of transition-metal defects with experiment. Finally, we discuss possible extensions of the current framework to obtain a theory with true predictive power for scanning tunneling microscopy in Fe-based systems.

description: Drug-mediated correction of abnormal biological zinc homeostasis could provide new routes to treating neurodegeneration, cancer, and viral infections. Designing therapeutics to facilitate zinc transport intracellularly is hampered by inadequate concentrations of endogenous zinc, which is often protein-bound in vivo. We found strong evidence that hydroxychloroquine, a drug used to treat malaria and employed as a potential treatment for COVID-19, does not bind and transport zinc across biological membranes through ionophoric mechanisms, contrary to recent claims. In vitro complexation studies and liposomal transport assays are correlated with cellular zinc assays in A549 lung epithelial cells to confirm the indirect mechanism of hydroxychloroquine-mediated elevation in intracellular zinc without ionophorism. Molecular simulations show hydroxychloroquine-triggered helix perturbation in zinc-finger protein without zinc chelation, a potential alternative non-ionophoric mechanism.

description: Two of the most striking experimental findings when investigating exciton spectra in cuprous oxide using high-resolution spectroscopy are the observability and the fine structure splitting of $F$ excitons reported by J. Thewes et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 027402 (2015)]. These findings show that it is indispensable to account for the complex valence band structure and the cubic symmetry of the solid in the theory of excitons. This is all the more important for magnetoexcitons, where the external magnetic field reduces the symmetry of the system even further. We present the theory of excitons in $\mathrm{Cu_{2}O}$ in an external magnetic field and especially discuss the dependence of the spectra on the direction of the external magnetic field, which cannot be understood from a simple hydrogen-like model. Using high-resolution spectroscopy, we also present the corresponding experimental spectra for cuprous oxide in Faraday configuration. The theoretical results and experimental spectra are in excellent agreement as regards not only the energies but also the relative oscillator strengths. Furthermore, this comparison allows for the determination of the fourth Luttinger parameter $κ$ of this semiconductor.

description: Recently, Tao and Mo (TM) derived a meta-generalized gradient approximation functional based on a model exchange-correlation hole. In this work, the performance of this functional is assessed on standard test sets, using the 6-311++G(3df,3pd) basis set. These test sets include 223 G3/99 enthalpies of formation, 99 atomization energies, 76 barrier heights, 58 electron affinities, 8 proton affinities, 96 bond lengths, 82 harmonic vibrational frequencies, 10 hydrogen-bonded molecular complexes, and 22 atomic excitation energies. Our calculations show that the TM functional can achieve high accuracy for most properties considered, relative to the LSDA, PBE, and TPSS functionals. In particular, it yields the best accuracy for proton affinities, harmonic vibrational frequencies, hydrogen-bonded dissociation energies and bond lengths, and atomic excitation energies.

description: We report here the Einstein@Home discovery of PSR J1913+1102, a 27.3-ms pulsar found in data from the ongoing Arecibo PALFA pulsar survey. The pulsar is in a 4.95-hr double neutron star (DNS) system with an eccentricity of 0.089. From radio timing with the Arecibo 305-m telescope, we measure the rate of advance of periastron to be 5.632(18) deg/yr. Assuming general relativity accurately models the orbital motion, this corresponds to a total system mass of 2.875(14) solar masses, similar to the mass of the most massive DNS known to date, B1913+16, but with a much smaller eccentricity. The small eccentricity indicates that the second-formed neutron star (the companion of PSR J1913+1102) was born in a supernova with a very small associated kick and mass loss. In that case this companion is likely, by analogy with other systems, to be a light (1.2 solar mass) neutron star; the system would then be highly asymmetric. A search for radio pulsations from the companion yielded no plausible detections, so we can't yet confirm this mass asymmetry. By the end of 2016, timing observations should permit the detection of two additional post-Keplerian parameters: the Einstein delay, which will enable precise mass measurements and a verification of the possible mass asymmetry of the system, and the orbital decay due to the emission of gravitational waves, which will allow another test of the radiative properties of gravity. The latter effect will cause the system to coalesce in ~0.5 Gyr.

description: Workflows are among the most commonly used tools in a variety of execution environments. Many of them target a specific environment; few of them make it possible to execute an entire workflow in different environments, e.g. Kubernetes and batch clusters. We present a novel approach to workflow execution, called StreamFlow, that complements the workflow graph with the declarative description of potentially complex execution environments, and that makes it possible the execution onto multiple sites not sharing a common data space. StreamFlow is then exemplified on a novel bioinformatics pipeline for single-cell transcriptomic data analysis workflow.
