description: We present a method for constructing a surface mesh filling gaps between the boundaries of multiple disconnected input components. Unlike previous works, our method pays special attention to preserving both the connectivity and large-scale geometric features of input parts, while maintaining efficiency and scalability w.r.t. mesh complexity. Starting from an implicit surface reconstruction matching the parts' boundaries, we first introduce a modified dual contouring algorithm which stitches a meshed contour to the input components while preserving their connectivity. We then show how to deform the reconstructed mesh to respect the boundary geometry and preserve sharp feature lines, smoothly blending them when necessary. As a result, our reconstructed surface is smooth and propagates the feature lines of the input. We demonstrate on a wide variety of input shapes that our method is scalable to large input complexity and results in superior mesh quality compared to existing techniques.

description: Many materials change surface appearance when observed for fixed viewing and lighting directions while rotating around its normal. Such distinct anisotropic behavior manifests itself as changes in textural color and intensity. These effects are due to structural elements introducing azimuthally-dependent behavior. However, each material and finishing technique has its unique anisotropic properties which are often difficult to control. To avoid this problem, we study controlled anisotropic appearance introduced by means of 3D printing. Our work tends to link perception of directionality with perception of anisotropic reflectance effect it causes. We simulate two types of structure-based anisotropic effects, which are related to directional principles found in real-world materials. For each type, we create a set of test surfaces by controlling the printed anisotropy level and assess them in a psychophysical study to identify a perceptual scale of anisotropy. The generality of these scales is then verified by means of anisotropic surfaces appearance capturing using bidirectional texture function and its analysis on 3D objects. Eventually, we relate the perceptual scale of anisotropy to a computational feature obtained directly from anisotropic highlights observed in the captured reflectance data. The feature is validated using a psychophysical study analyzing visibility of anisotropic reflectance effects.

description: Lachnomyrmex scrobiculatus Wheeler.
Chiapas, one specimen, soil. In Wheeler's original description and figure, the number of antennal segments is given as twelve. Dr. M. R. Smith and Dr. K. Yasumatsu have both called this count to question (in litt.), and the types in the Museum of Comparative Zoology show that there are really only eleven segments. The specimen taken by Dr. Goodnight compares well with the types in every respect. Wheeler related this genus to Agraecomyrmex from the Baltic Amber, but Agroecomyrmex seems entirely different, and possibly intermediate between the Ectatommini and the Myrmicini. Lachnomyrmex seems more closely related to Rogeria by virtue of the thoracic structure and the eyes, sculpture, and pilosity.

description: Many advanced gaze visualization techniques have been developed continuously based on the fundamental gaze visualizations such as scatter plots, attention map, and scanpath. However, it is not easy to locate challenging visualization techniques that resolve the limitations presented in the conventional gaze visualizations. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel visualization applying the smudge technique to the attention map. The proposed visualization intuitively shows the gaze flow and AoIs (Area of Interests) of an observer. Besides, it provides fixation, saccade, and micro-movement information, which allows us to respond to various analytical goals within a single visualization. Finally, we provide two case studies to show the effectiveness of our technique.

Monte Carlo Simulation of Comptonization in Inhomogeneous Media

Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)

description: Comptonization is the process in which photon spectrum changes due to multiple Compton scatterings in the electronic plasma. It plays an important role in the spectral formation of astrophysical X-ray and gamma-ray sources. There are several intrinsic limitations for the analytical method in dealing with the Comptonization problem and Monte Carlo simulation is one of the few alternatives. We describe an efficient Monte Carlo method that can solve the Comptonization problem in a fully relativistic way. We expanded the method so that it is capable of simulating Comptonization in the media where electron density and temperature varies discontinuously from one region to the other and in the isothermal media where density varies continuously along photon paths. The algorithms are presented in detail to facilitate computer code implementation. We also present a few examples of its application to the astrophysical research.

description: Deep inelastic scattering (DIS) events, selected from 1993 data taken by the H1 experiment at HERA, are studied in the Breit frame of reference. The fragmentation function of the quark is compared with those of \ee data. It is shown that certain aspects of the quarks emerging from within the proton in \ep interactions are essentially the same as those of quarks pair-created from the vacuum in \ee annihilation. The measured area, peak position and widthof the fragmentation function show that the kinematic evolution variable, equivalent to the \ee squared centre of mass energy, is in the Breit frame the invariant square of the four-momentum transfer. We comment on the extent to which we have evidence for coherence effects in parton showers.

description: It is widely believed that loops observed in the solar atmosphere trace out magnetic field lines. However, the degree to which magnetic field extrapolations yield field lines that actually do follow loops has yet to be studied systematically. In this paper we apply three different extrapolation techniques - a simple potential model, a NLFF model based on photospheric vector data, and a NLFF model based on forward fitting magnetic sources with vertical currents - to 15 active regions that span a wide range of magnetic conditions. We use a distance metric to assess how well each of these models is able to match field lines to the 12,202 loops traced in coronal images. These distances are typically 1-2". We also compute the misalignment angle between each traced loop and the local magnetic field vector, and find values of 5-12$^\circ$. We find that the NLFF models generally outperform the potential extrapolation on these metrics, although the differences between the different extrapolations are relatively small. The methodology that we employ for this study suggests a number of ways that both the extrapolations and loop identification can be improved.

description: Deep learning has been widely accepted as a promising solution for medical image segmentation, given a sufficiently large representative dataset of images with corresponding annotations. With ever increasing amounts of annotated medical datasets, it is infeasible to train a learning method always with all data from scratch. This is also doomed to hit computational limits, e.g., memory or runtime feasible for training. Incremental learning can be a potential solution, where new information (images or anatomy) is introduced iteratively. Nevertheless, for the preservation of the collective information, it is essential to keep some "important" (i.e. representative) images and annotations from the past, while adding new information. In this paper, we introduce a framework for applying incremental learning for segmentation and propose novel methods for selecting representative data therein. We comparatively evaluate our methods in different scenarios using MR images and validate the increased learning capacity with using our methods.

description: Full one-loop electroweak corrections to the on-shell decay $H^+ \to W^+A^0$ are computed in the framework of models with two Higgs doublets (THDM). Such a decay may be dominant for $H^{\pm}$ over a wide range of parameter space relevant at present and future colliders. We show that the corrections may approach 40% and in particular are sensitive to $λ_5$, which parametrizes the discrete symmetry breaking term. We suggest that a measurement of the branching ratio of $H^+ \to W^+A^0$ may offer a possibility of measuring the magnitude of $λ_5$.

description: Using an energy balance model with ice sheets, we examine the climate response of an Earth-like planet orbiting a G dwarf star and experiencing large orbital and obliquity variations. We find that ice caps couple strongly to the orbital forcing, leading to extreme ice ages. In contrast with previous studies, we find that such exo-Milankovitch cycles tend to impair habitability by inducing snowball states within the habitable zone. The large amplitude changes in obliquity and eccentricity cause the ice edge, the lowest latitude extent of the ice caps, to become unstable and grow to the equator. We apply an analytical theory of the ice edge latitude to show that obliquity is the primary driver of the instability. The thermal inertia of the ice sheets and the spectral energy distribution of the G dwarf star increase the sensitivity of the model to triggering runaway glaciation. Finally, we apply a machine learning algorithm to demonstrate how this technique can be used to extend the power of climate models. This work illustrates the importance of orbital evolution for habitability in dynamically rich planetary systems. We emphasize that as potentially habitable planets are discovered around G dwarfs, we need to consider orbital dynamics.

description: In this talk I discuss the general question of the portability of Molecular Dynamics codes for diffusive systems on parallel computers of the APE family. The intrinsic single precision arithmetics of the today available APE platforms does not seem to affect the numerical accuracy of the simulations, while the absence of integer addressing from CPU to individual nodes puts strong constraints on the possible programming strategies. Liquids can be very satisfactorily simulated using the "systolic" method. For more complex systems, like the biological ones at which we are ultimately interested in, the "domain decomposition" approach is best suited to beat the quadratic growth of the inter-molecular computational time with the number of elementary components of the system. The promising perspectives of using this strategy for extensive simulations of lipid bilayers are briefly reviewed.

This practical and deterministic inversion of the equations encapsulating multiple scattering that were written down by Bethe in 1928 removes the restriction of established methods to ultrathin ($\lesssim 50$ Å) samples. Instruments already coming on-line can overcome the remaining resolution-limiting effects in this method due to finite probe-forming aperture size, spatial incoherence and residual lens aberrations.

description: A complete knowledge of absolute surface energies with any arbitrary crystal orientation is important for the improvements of semiconductor devices because it determines the equilibrium and nonequilibrium crystal shapes of thin films and nanostructures. It is also crucial in the control of thin film crystal growth and surface effect studies in broad research fields. However, obtaining accurate absolute formation energies is still a huge challenge for the semi-polar surfaces of compound semiconductors. It mainly results from the asymmetry nature of crystal structures and the complicated step morphologies and related reconstructions of these surface configurations. Here we propose a general approach to calculate the absolute formation energies of wurtzite semi-polar surfaces by first-principles calculations, taking GaN as an example. We mainly focused on two commonly seen sets of semi-polar surfaces: a-family (11-2X) and m-family (10-1X). For all the semi-polar surfaces that we have calculated in this paper, the self-consistent accuracy is within 1.5 meV/Å^2. Our work fills the last technical gap to fully investigate and understand the shape and morphology of compound semiconductors.

description: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revolutionized diagnostic medicine and biomedical research by allowing a noninvasive access to spin ensembles. To enhance MRI resolution to the nanometer scale, new approaches including scanning probe methods have been used in recent years, which culminated in detection of individual spins. This allowed three-dimensional (3D) visualization of organic samples and of sophisticated spin-structures. Here, we demonstrate for the first time MRI of individual atoms on a surface. The setup, implemented in a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope (STM), uses single-atom electron spin resonance (ESR) to achieve sub-Ångström resolution exceeding the spatial resolution of previous experiments by one to two orders of magnitude. We find that MRI scans of different atomic species and probe tips lead to unique signatures in the resonance images. These signatures reveal the magnetic interactions between the tip and the atom, in particular magnetic dipolar and exchange interaction.

description: The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition is a very specific phase transition where all thermodynamic quantities are smooth. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the critical temperature in a precise way. In this paper we demonstrate how neural networks can be used to perform this task. In particular, we study how the accuracy of the transition identification depends on the way the neural networks are trained. We apply our approach to three different systems: (i) the classical XY model, (ii) the phase-fermion model, where classical and quantum degrees of freedom are coupled and (iii) the quantum XY model.

description: Using astrometric techniques developed by Anderson et al., we determine proper motions (PMs) in 14.60 arcmin X 16.53 arcmin area of the kinematically "thick-disk" globular cluster M12. The cluster's proximity and sparse nature makes it a suitable target for ground-based telescopes. Archive images with time gap of 11.1 years were observed with wide-field imager (WFI) mosaic camera mounted on ESO 2.2 m telescope. The median value of PM error in both components is 0.7 mas/yr for the stars having V less than or equal to 20 mag. PMs are used to determine membership probabilities and to separate field stars from the cluster sample. In electronic form, a membership catalog of 3725 stars with precise coordinates, PMs, BVRI photometry is being provided. One of the possible applications of the catalog was shown by gathering the membership information of the variable stars, blue stragglers and X-ray sources reported earlier in the cluster's region.

Aguayo described this homonym from a single soldier, the holotype of which is now in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. It is entirely possible that it is synonymous with some tropicolitan or neotropical tramp species in the enormous genus, although a very hasty and superficial search in the Wheeler Collection failed to reveal any exactly similar form among the West Indian Pheidole deposited there. The entire dorsal surface of the head is regularly set with well-spaced, predominantly longitudinal rugules. Dr. Aguayo has failed to answer three separate letters regarding this form, so I feel justified in suggesting a new name for it.

description: Thirty-three fast radio bursts (FRBs) had been detected by March 2018. Although the sample size is still limited, meaningful statistical studies can already be carried out. The normalised luminosity function places important constraints on the intrinsic power output, sheds light on the origin(s) of FRBs, and can guide future observations. In this paper, we measure the normalised luminosity function of FRBs. Using Bayesian statistics, we can naturally account for a variety of factors such as receiver noise temperature, bandwidth, and source selection criteria. We can also include astronomical systematics, such as host galaxy dispersion measure, FRB local dispersion measure, galaxy evolution, geometric projection effects, and Galactic halo contribution. Assuming a Schechter luminosity function, we show that the isotropic luminosities of FRBs have a power-law distribution that covers approximately three orders of magnitude, with a power-law index ranging from $-1.8$ to $-1.2$ and a cut off $\sim 2\times 10^{44}\,\rm erg\,s^{-1}$. By using different galaxy models and well-established Bayesian marginalisation techniques, we show that our conclusions are robust against unknowns, such as the electron densities in the Milky Way halo and the FRB environment, host galaxy morphology, and telescope beam response.

description: We present an electron identification algorithm based on a neural network approach applied to the ZEUS uranium calorimeter. The study is motivated by the need to select deep inelastic, neutral current, electron proton interactions characterized by the presence of a scattered electron in the final state. The performance of the algorithm is compared to an electron identification method based on a classical probabilistic approach. By means of a principle component analysis the improvement in the performance is traced back to the number of variables used in the neural network approach.

description: By following Seiberg's prescriptions on DLCQ of $M$ theory, we give the background geometries of DLCQ supergravity associated with $N$ sector of DLCQ of $M$ theory on $T^p$ with vanishingly small radii. Most of these are the product of anti-de Sitter spacetimes and spheres, which have been found as the spontaneous compactifications of eleven dimensional supergravity long time ago and also are revisited recently by Maldacena by considering the near horizon geometry of various D-branes in appropriate limit. Those geometries are maximally symmetric and have full 32 supersymmetries of eleven dimensional supergravity, which agrees with the number of supersymmetries of DLCQ of $M$ theory. This suggests that DLCQ of $M$ theory is the $M$/string theory on these nontrivial background.

description: The emergence of free fermionic string models with solely the MSSM charged spectrum below the string scale provides further evidence to the assertion that the true string vacuum is connected to the Z_2 x Z_2 orbifold in the vicinity of the free fermionic point in the Narain moduli space. An important property of the Z_2 x Z_2 orbifold is the cyclic permutation symmetry between the three twisted sectors. If preserved in the three generations models the cyclic permutation symmetry results in a family universal anomalous U(1)_A, which is instrumental in explaining squark degeneracy, provided that the dominant component of supersymmetry breaking arises from the U(1)_A D-term. Interestingly, the contribution of the family--universal D_A-term to the squark masses may be intra-family non-universal, and may differ from the usual (universal) boundary conditions assumed in the MSSM. We contemplate how D_A--term spectroscopy may be instrumental in studying superstring models irrespective of our ignorance of the details of supersymmetry breaking. We examine the possible effect of the intra--family non--universality on the resulting SUSY spectrum and the values of the strong coupling, effective weak mixing angle and W-gauge boson mass, up to a two loop accuracy, in the two models (universal and non-universal). We find that non universality relaxes the constraint of color and charge breaking minima which appears in the universal case. In addition, it predicts a 3% smaller value of α_s due to different threshold masses obtained in the latter scenario. Finally, we present the experimentally allowed predictions of the two models in an M_0 and M_{1/2} parameter space.

description: 1:T1iis paper proves two theoretical results that serve to qualify the orthodox view that privatizing land rights should, or must, precede the extension on a wide scale of the formal credit market in the rural sectors of developing countries. First, we show that prior to the establishment of an integrated national credit market, the ability of the social group to exercise some control over land transfers can be efficiency-enhancing through its effect on the performance of segmented, informal finance markets. Second, we show that financial or physical collateral in credit markets is not limited to land or other pre-existing endowments. We analyze a novel mechanism, that creates a bootstrap form of collateral that can substitute for mortgageable land as collaterg. iThe mechanism entails a tax on labor output that finances a transfer to each individual equal to the average tax payment made. Individuals can pledge the transfer payments as collateral in the formal credit market. We show that this bootstrap collateral has the potential to make every individual better off.

description: In this paper we construct (locally) $D$-optimal designs for a wide class of non-linear multiple regression models, when the design region is a $k$-dimensional ball. For this construction we make use of the concept of invariance and equivariance in the context of optimal designs. As examples we consider Poisson and negative binomial regression as well as proportional hazard models with censoring. By generalisation we can extend these results to arbitrary ellipsoids.

description: Gaseous microemboli (GME) introduced during cardiac surgery are considered as a potential source of morbidity, which has driven the development of the first bubble counters. Two new generation bubble counters claim correct sizing and counting of GME. This in-vitro study aims to validate the accuracy of two bubble counters using monodisperse bubbles in a highly controlled setting at low GME concentrations. Monodisperse GME with a radius of 43 μm were produced in a microfluidic chip. Directly after their formation, they were injected one-by-one into the BCC200 and the EDAC sensors. GME size and count were optically verified using high-speed imaging. During best-case scenarios or low GME concentrations of GME with a size of 43 μm in radius in an in-vitro setup, the BCC200 overestimates GME size by a factor of 2 to 3 while the EDAC underestimates the average GME size by at least a factor of two. The BCC200 overestimates the GME concentration by approximately 20% while the EDAC overestimates the concentration by nearly one order of magnitude. Nevertheless, the calculated total GME volume is only over-predicted by a factor 2 since the EDAC underestimates the actual GME size. For the BCC200, the total GME volume was over-predicted by 25 times due to the over-estimation of GME size. The measured errors in the absolute sizing/counting of GME do not imply that all results obtained using the bubble counters are insignificant or invalid. A relative change in bubble size or bubble concentration can accurately be measured. However, care must be taken in the interpretation of the results and their absolute values. Moreover, the devices cannot be used interchangeably when reporting GME activity. Nevertheless, both devices can be used to study the relative air removal characteristics of CPB components or for the quantitative monitoring of GME production during CPB interventions.
Prosopisafricana Extract as Potential Natural Alternatives to Synthetic Antibiotics and a Key for Sustainable Broiler Production: A Review

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The chicken sector is more vulnerable to antimicrobial resistance, the buildup of toxic or dangerous residues in meat and eggs, and environmental contamination as a result of the widespread and careless use of antibiotics in most nations. Natural solutions, such as medicinal plants, are required to address these issues. These plants have been shown to contain a variety of phytochemicals, including phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, alkaloids, and saponins. These chemicals endow plants with a multitude of medicinal qualities. One of the many alternatives to antibiotics is Prosopis africana extract, which includes stem bark, leaves, roots, and their essential oils. Antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-helminthic, antiviral, hepatoprotective, immune-stimulatory, and antimicrobial properties are among the many pharmacological activity of P. africana preparations. They are also an abundant supplier of vital minerals and amino acids that support enzyme function and provide defense against the effects of oxidative stress. Using extracts from Prosopis africana is the way forward for effective chicken production, environmental sustainability and food hygiene.

description: The Helium Ion Microscope (HIM) has the capability to image small features with a resolution down to 0.35 nm due to its highly focused gas field ionization source and its small beam-sample interaction volume. In this work, the focused helium ion beam of a HIM is utilized to create nanopores with diameters down to 1.3 nm. It will be demonstrated that nanopores can be milled into silicon nitride, carbon nanomembranes (CNMs) and graphene with well-defined aspect ratio. To image and characterize the produced nanopores, helium ion microscopy and high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy were used. The analysis of the nanopore's growth behavior, allows inferring on the profile of the helium ion beam.
