description: We present high resolution (R = 18,000), high signal-to-noise, 2 micron spectra of 52 infrared-selected Class I and flat-spectrum young stellar objects in the Taurus-Auriga, $ρ$ Ophiuchi, Serpens, Perseus, and Corona Australis dark clouds. We detect key absorption lines in 41 objects and fit synthetic spectra generated from pre-main sequence models to deduce the effective temperatures, surface gravities, near-infrared veilings, rotation velocities, and radial velocities of each of these 41 sources. We find these objects to span ranges in effective temperature, surface gravity, and stellar luminosity which appear similar to those of late spectral-type Class II sources and classical T-Tauri stars. We determine that the mean 2 micron veiling of Class I and flat-spectrum objects is significantly higher than that of Class II objects in the same region where both types of objects are extensively observed ($ρ$ Oph). We find a significant fraction of our protostellar sample also exhibits emission lines. Twenty-three objects show H$_2$ emission, usually indicative of the presence of energetic outflows. Thirty-four sources show HI Br $γ$ emission and a number of these exhibit profile asymmetries consistent with in-fall. Eight sources show significant $Δv = 2$ CO emission suggestive of emission from a circumstellar disk. Overall, these observations indicate that Class I and flat-spectrum objects are self-embedded protostars undergoing significant mass accretion, although the objects appear to span a broad range of mass accretion activity.

description: We evaluate the effectiveness of non optimal and temporally inconsistent incentive policies for regulating the exploitation of a renewable common-pool resource. The corresponding game is an N-person discrete-time deterministic dynamic game of T periods fixed duration. Three policy instruments with parameters that remain constant for the whole horizon are evaluated: a pigouvian tax (flat tax), an ambient tax (ambient flat tax) and an instrument combining the two previous ones (mixed flat instrument). We test in the lab the predictions of the model solved for 3 distinct behavioural assumptions: (a) sub-game perfection, (b) myopic behaviour, and (c) joint payoff maximization. We find that subjects behave myopically in the unregulated situation, which agrees with previous results in the literature. Conditional on predictions, the mixed flat instrument and the flat tax are the most effective policies in approaching the optimum extraction path. However, in absolute terms the ambient flat tax and the mixed flat instrument curb most significantly the mean extraction path towards the optimum path. Paradoxically, these instruments are the less efficient ones.

description: We show that spatial quenched disorder affects polar active matter in ways more complex and far-reaching than believed heretofore. Using simulations of the 2D Vicsek model subjected to random couplings or a disordered scattering field, we find in particular that ergodicity is lost in the ordered phase, the nature of which we show to depend qualitatively on the type of quenched disorder: for random couplings, it remains long-range ordered, but qualitatively different from the pure (disorderless) case. For random scatterers, polar order varies with system size but we find strong non-self-averaging, with sample-to-sample fluctuations dominating asymptotically, which prevents us from elucidating the asymptotic status of order.

description: During their holidays, tourists produce direct and indirect effects on local residents, which can either be positive or negative. In this paper we investigate how residents of Rimini, a popular Italian seaside resort hosting more than ten million national and foreign overnight stays every year, internalise such effects. We use a stated preference approach and, in particular, a discrete choice modelling technique; within this framework, we are able to test some conjectures about residents' welfare, by measuring their willingness to pay for alternative scenarios regarding the use of the territory. Tourist policies and public investments in the destination affect residents' welfare, and our results might suggest areas of potential synergies and trade-off, leading to important policy implications.

Subjects: subject: Marketing
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: This paper is primarily a plea for a reorientation of marketing research. It is demonstrated that the current concept of marketing is unsatisfactory from an analytical point of view and a reformulation in terms of information is put forward. Information-getting is shown to be a vital aspect of economic activity and one to which a considerable proportion of total resources must be devoted. It is maintained that marketing research should be directed towards this aspect. As a first step in this direction, a partial equilibrium model of information resource use is delineated. Finally, some specific implications of this approach for research are presented.

description: The behavior of spin-half particles is discussed in the 3 + 1-dimensional constant curvature black hole (CCBH) spacetime. We use Schwarzschild-like coordinates, valid outside the black hole event horizon. The constant time surfaces corresponding to the time-like Killing vector are degenerate at the black hole event horizon and also along an axis. We write down the Dirac equation in this spacetime using Newman-Penrose formalism which is not easily separable unlike that in the Kerr metric. However, with a particular choice of basis system the equation is separable and we obtain the solutions. We discuss the structural difference in the Dirac equation in the CCBH spacetime with that in the Kerr geometry, due to difference in the corresponding spacetime metric, resulting complexity arised in separation in the earlier case.

description: Recently, remarkable progress in recovering the Page curve of an evaporating black hole (BH) in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity has been achieved through use of Quantum Extremal surfaces (QES). Multi-boundary Wormhole (MbW) models have been crucial in parallel model building in three dimensions. Motivated by this we here use the latter models to compute the subregion complexity of the Hawking quanta of the evaporating BH in AdS$_{3}$ and obtain the Page curve associated with this information theoretic measure. We use three- and $n$-boundary wormhole constructions to elucidate our computations of volumes below the Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi (HRT) surfaces at different times. Time is represented by the growing length of the throat horizons corresponding to smaller exits of the multi-boundary wormhole and the evaporating bigger exit shrinks with evolving time. We track the change in choice of HRT surfaces with time and plot the volume with time. The smooth transition of Page curve is realized by a discontinuous jump at Page time in volume subregion complexity plots and the usual Page transition is realized as a phase transition due to the inclusion of the island in this context. We discuss mathematical intricacies and physical insights regarding the inclusion of the extra volume at Page time. The analysis is backed by calculations and lessons from kinematic space and tensor networks.

description: It is shown that there exists a normal uniform algebra, on a compact metrizable space, that fails to be strongly regular at some peak point. This answers a 31-year-old question of Joel Feinstein. Our example is R(K) for a certain compact planar set K. Furthermore, it has a totally ordered one-parameter family of closed primary ideals whose hull is a peak point. General results regarding lifting ideals under Cole root extensions are established. These results are applied to obtain a normal uniform algebra, on a compact metrizable space, with every point a peak point but again having a totally ordered one-parameter family of closed primary ideals.

Topological Anomalous Skin Effect in Weyl Superconductors

description: We show that a Weyl superconductor can absorb light via a novel surface-to-bulk mechanism, which we dub the topological anomalous skin effect. This occurs even in the absence of disorder for a single-band superconductor, and is facilitated by the topological splitting of the Hilbert space into bulk and chiral surface Majorana states. In the clean limit, the effect manifests as a characteristic absorption peak due to surface-bulk transitions. We also consider the effects of bulk disorder, using the Keldysh response theory. For weak disorder, the bulk response is reminiscent of the Mattis-Bardeen result for $s$-wave superconductors, with strongly suppressed spectral weight below twice the pairing energy, despite the presence of gapless Weyl points. For stronger disorder, the bulk response becomes more Drude-like and the $p$-wave features disappear. We show that the surface-bulk signal survives when combined with the bulk in the presence of weak disorder. The topological anomalous skin effect can therefore serve as a fingerprint for Weyl superconductivity. We also compute the Meissner response in the slab geometry, incorporating the effect of the surface states.

description: The AI chips increasingly focus on implementing neural computing at low power and cost. The intelligent sensing, automation, and edge computing applications have been the market drivers for AI chips. Increasingly, the generalisation, performance, robustness, and scalability of the AI chip solutions are compared with human-like intelligence abilities. Such a requirement to transit from application-specific to general intelligence AI chip must consider several factors. This paper provides an overview of this cross-disciplinary field of study, elaborating on the generalisation of intelligence as understood in building artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems. This work presents a listing of emerging AI chip technologies, classification of edge AI implementations, and the funnel design flow for AGI chip development. Finally, the design consideration required for building an AGI chip is listed along with the methods for testing and validating it.

Mennonites and higher education in the 1960s : the story of two Canadian Mennonite colleges in Winnipeg, Manitoba
Creators: name: Voth, Gay Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Mennonites are a religious, social and ethnic group with origins in the time of the sixteenth century Reformation. The group was named after a Dutch Anabaptist leader, Menno Simons, who provided the members with substantial theological leadership. Throughout the last four centuries, the Mennonites have migrated around the world and divided into over a hundred different sub-groups. In 1989, Canada was home to over 100,000 Mennonite members who belonged to 735 church congregations that were part of 30 separate groups. The two largest Mennonite groups in Canada are the Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches (MB) and the Conference of Mennonites in Canada (CMC). These two groups, and the Colleges they own and operate, are the focus of this thesis topic - Mennonites and Higher Education in the 1960s. By 1960, the Mennonite Brethren Bible College (MBBC) and the Canadian Mennonite Bible College (CMBC) had become involved in the process of opening their communities to the professional and vocational opportunities available in Canada while selectively closing the community to secular influences. The Colleges made institutional decisions which allowed them to offer a university standard education in a parochial setting. These decisions created an active discussion within the two sponsoring Mennonite constituencies. Some members, within each group, were less inclined to embrace the influences of a growing urban, modern worldview because involvement in modern Canadian society would require the adaptation of their traditional, rural identity. The Colleges, on the other hand, encouraged changes while attempting to maintain continuity with essential community ideals. This process of change is the focus of this thesis.

description: When electrons flow as a viscous fluid in anisotropic metals, the reduced symmetry can lead to exotic viscosity tensors with many additional, nonstandard components. We present a viscometry technique that can, in principle, measure the multiple dissipative viscosities allowed in isotropic and anisotropic fluids alike. By applying representation theory to exploit the intrinsic symmetry of the fluid, our viscometry is also exceptionally robust to both boundary complications and ballistic effects. We present the technique via the illustrative example of dihedral symmetry, relevant in this context as the point symmetry of 2D crystals. Finally, we propose a present-day realizable experiment for detecting, in a metal, a novel hydrodynamic phenomenon: the presence of rotational dissipation in an otherwise isotropic fluid.
Problem-Oriented Term Projects on Satellite Remote Sensing Applications in Times of  Cross-Disciplinary Education
Creators: name: Prishchepov, Alexander
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Satellite Earth Observations and associated technologies have revolutionized our ability to monitor and analyze terrestrial surfaces and work with large datasets. With various advancements, including free access to datasets, cloud processing platforms, and educational materials, we are witnessing fascinating applications in the monitoring of land-change phenomena such as urban sprawl, forest cover change, landslides, armed conflicts, and natural disasters. The field has evolved from a niche area dominated by highly skilled professionals in government sectors to a widely accessible tool used across diverse domains, including start-ups, NGOs, and Open-source Intelligence (OSINT). Universities now offer a range of courses and workshops on satellite remote sensing, aiming to meet the needs of students from diverse specializations such as geoinformatics, geography, environmental studies, and computer science. However, this rapid expansion and diversity present challenges in education. Courses must balance technical depth with accessibility for students of varying backgrounds in times of cross-disciplinary education. This paper discusses problem-oriented teaching, such as through the development of problem-oriented projects. This approach offers the possibility to apply concepts covered in class to real-world problems, thereby fostering both active learning and soft skills like critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving. While this approach may require extra efforts by instructors in terms of observation, consulting, and mentoring, it not only enhances learning outcomes but also may increase student satisfaction with the course and prepare students for diverse career paths in remote sensing and data science.

description: We present Text-to-OverpassQL, a task designed to facilitate a natural language interface for querying geodata from OpenStreetMap (OSM). The Overpass Query Language (OverpassQL) allows users to formulate complex database queries and is widely adopted in the OSM ecosystem. Generating Overpass queries from natural language input serves multiple use-cases. It enables novice users to utilize OverpassQL without prior knowledge, assists experienced users with crafting advanced queries, and enables tool-augmented large language models to access information stored in the OSM database. In order to assess the performance of current sequence generation models on this task, we propose OverpassNL, a dataset of 8,352 queries with corresponding natural language inputs. We further introduce task specific evaluation metrics and ground the evaluation of the Text-to-OverpassQL task by executing the queries against the OSM database. We establish strong baselines by finetuning sequence-to-sequence models and adapting large language models with in-context examples. The detailed evaluation reveals strengths and weaknesses of the considered learning strategies, laying the foundations for further research into the Text-to-OverpassQL task.
First Order Electroweak Phase Transition from Weakly Coupled sub-GeV Physics and Possible Connection to Fermion Flavor

description: We propose that the dynamics of a scalar $ϕ$ of mass $O(10)$ MeV that is weakly coupled to the Higgs can lead to a first order electroweak phase transition, fulfilling a key requirement for baryogenesis. Stability of the model near the weak scale requires a suppressed - possibly vanishing - top Yukawa coupling to the Higgs before the transition which rises to the Standard Model value afterwards. This can be accomplished through the dynamics of $ϕ$ via a dimension-5 operator. We conjecture that the entire Standard Model flavor structure could turn on, mutatis mutandis, after the electroweak phase transition, via dimension-5 interactions of $ϕ$ suppressed by scales ranging from $O(10^3)$ TeV to near Planck mass. Due to its suppressed couplings, $ϕ$ is long-lived and can lead to missing energy signals in rare kaon decays, which can be probed by the KOTO experiment.

The applicability of C1) and C2) is examined in models with one massless neutrino and two massive neutrinos suggested by \det(M)=0, where M is a mass matrix constructed from M_{ij} (i,j=e,μ,τ). To make definite predictions on neutrino masses and mixings, especially on sin(theta_{13}), that enable us to trace C1) and C2), M is assumed to possess texture zeros or to be constrained by textures with M_{μμ}=M_{ττ} or M_{eτ}=\pm M_{eμ} which turn out to ensure the emergence of the maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing at sin(theta_{13})->0. It is found that C1) is used by textures such as M_{eμ}=0 or M_{eτ}=0 while C2) is used by textures such as M_{eτ}=\pm M_{eμ}.

description: Semi-competing risks refer to the phenomenon that the terminal event (such as death) can censor the non-terminal event (such as disease progression) but not vice versa. The treatment effect on the terminal event can be delivered either directly following the treatment or indirectly through the non-terminal event. We consider two strategies to decompose the total effect into a direct effect and an indirect effect under the framework of mediation analysis in completely randomized experiments by adjusting the prevalence and hazard of non-terminal events, respectively. They require slightly different assumptions on cross-world quantities to achieve identifiability. We establish asymptotic properties for the estimated counterfactual cumulative incidences and decomposed treatment effects. We illustrate the subtle difference between these two decompositions through simulation studies and two real-data applications.

description: We study vortex-type solutions in a (4+1)-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills-SU(2) model. Assuming all fields to be independent on the extra coordinate, these solutions correspond in a four dimensional picture to axially symmetric multimonopoles, respectively monopole-antimonopole solutions. By boosting the five dimensional purely magnetic solutions we find new configurations which in four dimensions represents rotating regular nonabelian solutions with an additional electric charge.

description: We study the evolution of magnetic fields generated by charge segregation ahead of ionization fronts during the Epoch of Reionization, and their effects on galaxy formation. We compare this magnetic seeding process with the Biermann battery, injection from supernovae, and an imposed seed field at redshift $z\gtrsim127$. Using a suite of self-consistent cosmological and zoom-in simulations based on the Auriga galaxy-formation model, we determine that all mechanisms produce galactic magnetic fields that equally affect galaxy formation, and are nearly indistinguishable at $z\lesssim1.5$. The former is compatible with observed values, while the latter is correlated with the gas metallicity below a seed-dependent redshift. Low-density gas and haloes below a seed-dependent mass threshold retain memory of the initial magnetic field. We produce synthetic Faraday rotation measure maps, showing that they have the potential to constrain the seeding process, although current observations are not yet sensitive enough. Our results imply that the ad-hoc assumption of a primordial seed field - widely used in galaxy formation simulations but of uncertain physical origin - can be replaced by physically-motivated mechanisms for magnetogenesis with negligible impact on galactic properties. Additionally, magnetic fields generated ahead of ionization fronts appear very similar but weaker than those produced by the Biermann battery. Hence, in a realistic scenario where both mechanisms are active, the former will be negligible compared to the latter. Finally, our results highlight that the high-redshift Universe is a fruitful testing ground for our understanding of magnetic fields generation.

description: Finding optimal trajectories for multiple traffic demands in a congested network is a challenging task. Optimal transport theory is a principled approach that has been used successfully to study various transportation problems. Its usage is limited by the lack of principled and flexible ways to incorporate realistic constraints. We propose a principled physics-based approach to impose constraints flexibly in such optimal transport problems. Constraints are included in mirror descent dynamics using the principle of D'Alembert-Lagrange from classical mechanics. This leads to a sparse, local and linear approximation of the feasible set leading in many cases to closed-form updates.

description: In this paper we discuss the impact of customer satisfaction and enthusiasm on the performance of small retailers in the organic food market. The analysis of customer satisfaction and shop data confirm essential economic effects. The study is based on 948 customer interviews and an analysis of management ratios of 12 organic food shops in Germany. The results show that customer satisfaction is a relevant key to sales performance. Regression analysis reveals that overall customer satisfaction accounts for 32 % of sales per square meter sales area. An additional factor analysis identifies service and product quality as main determinant s of customer satisfaction. Consumer s consider the freshness of fruit and vegetables as representative for the quality of the whole assortment. A correlation analysis demonst rates that customer enthusiasm is a more accurate factor in the recommendation of shops than customer satisfaction. The paper ends with managerial and scientific implications.

description: We study implications and consequences of well-posed solutions of Cauchy problems of a Novikov equation describing pseudospherical surfaces. We show that if the co-frame of dual one-forms satisfies certain conditions for a given periodic initial datum, then there exists exactly two families of periodic one-forms satisfying the structural equations for a surface. Each pair then defines a metric of constant Gaussian curvature and a corresponding Levi-Civita connection form. We prove the existence of universal connection forms giving rise to second fundamental forms compatible with the metric. The main tool to prove our geometrical results is the Kato's semi-group approach, which is used to establish well-posedness of solutions of the Cauchy problem involved and ensure $C^1$ regularity for the first fundamental form and the Levi-Civita connection form.

description: Meeting the challenges of an unstable and unsettled environment is not easy. The recent impacts on the hospitality services economy of changing technology, mergers of institutions, increasingly demanding consumers and increased competition have created an atmosphere of volatility and rapid change. In order to survive in this demanding market place, service organisations have only one choice, to successfully develop and launch new services. However, the failure rate of new service projects is high, because the knowledge on how new services should be developed is limited. Unfortunately, unlike tangible new product development practices which have the benefit of extensive research into how successful new products are developed, the service sector has only recently begun to explore ways to ensure the success of new services. Therefore, this study focuses on a better understanding of how successful new hotel services are developed and investigates the factors, which have impact on success or failure in new service development (NSD) in the hotel sector. The results of the exploratory study are summarised in a conceptual model for further research.

description: We construct new models of inflation and spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in de Sitter vacuum, with a single chiral superfield, where inflaton is the superpartner of the goldstino. Our approach is based on hyperbolic Kähler geometry, and a gauged (non-axionic) $U(1)_R$ symmetry rotating the chiral scalar field by a phase. The $U(1)_R$ gauge field combines with the angular component of the chiral scalar to form a massive vector, and single-field inflation is driven by the radial part of the scalar. We find that in a certain parameter range they can be approximated by simplest Starobinsky-like (E-model) $α$-attractors, thus predicting $n_s$ and $r$ within $1σ$ CMB constraints. Supersymmetry (and $R$-symmetry) is broken at a high scale with the gravitino mass $m_{3/2}\gtrsim 10^{14}$ GeV, and the fermionic sector also includes a heavy spin-$1/2$ field. In all the considered cases the inflaton is the lightest field of the model.

description: Scoping Review

Background and Rationale
In people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), approximately 85% have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). The gold standard test for evaluating EPI is direct pancreatic function testing using endoscopic pancreatic stimulation test. Even though it is the standard test, it is obsolete in clinical practice due to its invasiveness. The commonly used indirect tests include coefficient of fat absorption (CFA) and quantitative fecal elastase-1 (FE-1) estimation (1). CFA is nonspecific for pancreatic function as the results could be affected in other causes of malabsorption or maldigestion. Further, it is cumbersome as the stool collection involves for 72 hours and dietary intake of fat also should be tightly controlled. FE-1 is commonly used noninvasive test commonly utilized to estimate the pancreatic status (function) in pwCF. The cut-off values utilized widely ranges between 100-200 ug/gm of stool with lower cut off provide higher specificity for EPI. However, there is limited literature regarding its diagnostic accuracy in CF and multiple challenges in addressing several questions such as when to estimate the pancreatic function, what cut-off value to use and the diagnostic accuracy of the test.

Here in, we intend to explore the diagnostic accuracy of FE-1 using a scoping review methodology, and also will compare the utility of FE-1 with other methods of EPI such as the coefficient of fat absorption (CFA), endoscopic pancreatic stimulation test, stool chymotrypsin, etc. Due to the variabilities in the cut off, wide range of patient population (neonates, infants, children and adults), and also the availability of different diagnostic methods to compare, we intend to carry out a scoping review. Again, given these limitations, a formal quality assessment will not be done here (unlike in systematic review) (2-3).

description: Theoretical model of the enhanced optical resolution of the surface plasmon immersion microscope is developed, which is based on the optics of surface plasmon Bloch waves in the tightly bound approximation. It is shown that a similar resolution enhancement may occur in a more general case of an immersion microscope based on photonic crystal materials with either positive or negative effective refractive index. Both signs of the effective refractive index have been observed in our experiments with surface plasmon immersion microscope, which is also shown to be capable of individual virus imaging.
