description: In December 1918, en route to the Versailles Conference, President Woodrow Wilson of the United States remarked to his private secretary, Colonel Edward House, that that Conference must not become "another Congress of Vienna". He feared, he said, that "civilization" would be swamped by a tidal wave of ultra-radical revolution, unless such revolution was pre-empted by liberal and progressive leadership by the statesmen of the West. Alluding to the upheavals then already taking place in China, Mexico and Russia, he declared "civilization must be more liberal than ever, it must even be radical, if civilization is to escape the typhoon". Both the theme and the title of this dissertation are taken from this observation by the American President in the wake of the First World War. Woodrow Wilson believed that the tumults in China, Mexico and Russia in the 1910's were "irrational" revolutions, but he had grave doubts as to the moral and political possibilities for "counterrevolution". This ambivalence and anxiety was not peculiar to Woodrow Wilson. It has exercised liberal and even conservative statesmen, both in the West and elsewhere, ever since the French Revolution. In the era of the Cold War, it has especially characterized American democratic self-consciousness. This dissertation is an effort to explore American discourse in that era, in particular, concerning mediation between "irrational revolution" and "counter-revolution". After setting the terms of debate in the context of the debates over the great eighteenth century revolutions and the problem of "totalitarian" revolution in the twentieth century, the dissertation narrows its focus to concentrate on American responses to the prospect of radical revolution in the Cold War era.

description: We investigate the performance of the generalized Spectral Kurtosis (SK) estimator in detecting and discriminating natural and artificial very short duration transients in the 2-bit sampling time domain Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data. We demonstrate that, while both types of transients may be efficiently detected, their natural or artificial nature cannot be distinguished if only a time domain SK analysis is performed. However, these two types of transients become distinguishable from each other in the spectral domain, after a 32-bit FFT operation is performed on the 2-bit time domain voltages. We discuss the implication of these findings on the ability of the Spectral Kurtosis estimator to automatically detect bright astronomical transient signals of interests -- such as pulsar or fast radio bursts (FRB) -- in VLBI data streams that have been severely contaminated by unwanted radio frequency interference.

description: There is uncertainty about the seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the general population of Austria and about the waning of antibodies over time. We conducted a seroepidemiological study between June 2020 and September 2021, enrolling blood donors aged 18–70 years across Tyrol, Austria (participation rate: 84.0%). We analyzed serum samples for antibodies against the spike or the nucleocapsid proteins of SARS-CoV-2. We performed a total of 47,363 samples taken from 35,193 individuals (median age, 43.1 years (IQR: 29.3–53.7); 45.3% women; 10.0% with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection). Seroprevalence increased from 3.4% (95% CI: 2.8–4.2%) in June 2020 to 82.7% (95% CI: 81.4–83.8%) in September 2021, largely due to vaccination. Anti-spike IgG seroprevalence was 99.6% (95% CI: 99.4–99.7%) among fully vaccinated individuals, 90.4% (95% CI: 88.8–91.7%) among unvaccinated individuals with prior infection and 11.5% (95% CI: 10.8–12.3%) among unvaccinated individuals without known prior infection. Anti-spike IgG levels were reduced by 44.0% (95% CI: 34.9–51.7%) at 5–6 months compared with 0–3 months after infection. In fully vaccinated individuals, they decreased by 31.7% (95% CI: 29.4–33.9%) per month. In conclusion, seroprevalence in Tyrol increased to 82.7% in September 2021, with the bulk of seropositivity stemming from vaccination. Antibody levels substantially and gradually declined after vaccination or infection.

Gaussian Spectral Line Profiles of Astrophysical Masers

description: Calculations are performed to demonstrate the deviations from Gaussian that occur in the spectral line profiles of a linear maser as a result of the amplification process. Near-Gaussian profiles are presented for bright, interstellar 22 GHz water masers obtained from high resolution Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of W3 IRS 5. For the profiles to be so close to Gaussian, the calculations indicate that these masers must originate in quite hot gas with temperatures greater than 1200 K -- a conclusion that is supportive of C-type shocks as the origin of these masers. In addition, the degree of saturation of these masers must be less than approximately one-third, from which it follows that the beaming angles are less than about 10^{-4} ster and the actual luminosities are modest. If spectral profiles that are as close to Gaussian as the profiles presented in this initial investigation are found to occur widely, they can be valuable diagnostics for the environments of astrophysical masers.

STIS Echelle Observations of the Intrinsic UV Absorption in the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 3783

description: We present observations of the UV absorption lines in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3783, obtained with the medium resolution echelle gratings of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph(STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The spectra reveal the presence of three kinematic components of absorption in Ly-alpha, C IV, and N V, at radial velocities of -1365, -548, and -724 km/s with respect to the systemic velocity of the host galaxy (Components 1, 2 and 3, respectively); Component 1 also shows absorption by Si IV. Component 3 was not detected in any of the earlier Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) spectra, and the C IV absorption in the other components has changed since the most recent GHRS observation obtained 5 yr earlier. Somewhat unexpectedly, each component has a covering factor (of the continuum source + broad emission line region) of about 0.6. We have calculated photoionization models to match the UV column densities in each of the three components. Based on the model results, there should be strong absorption in the bandpass of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), 912 - 1200 A, including saturated O VI lines at each component velocity. The models also predict large O VII and O VIII column densities but suggest that the UV absorbers cannot account for all of the X-ray absorption detected in recent Chandra spectra. Finally, there is no evidence for a correlation between the characteristics of the UV absorbers and the UV continuum flux, which suggests that the variations observed in the GHRS and STIS spectra are due in large part to changes in the column densities of the absorbers as the result of transverse motion.

description: A number of popular systems, most notably Google's TensorFlow, have been implemented from the ground up to support machine learning tasks. We consider how to make a very small set of changes to a modern relational database management system (RDBMS) to make it suitable for distributed learning computations. Changes include adding better support for recursion, and optimization and execution of very large compute plans. We also show that there are key advantages to using an RDBMS as a machine learning platform. In particular, learning based on a database management system allows for trivial scaling to large data sets and especially large models, where different computational units operate on different parts of a model that may be too large to fit into RAM.

description: The quantum Euclidean spheres, $S_q^{N-1}$, are (noncommutative) homogeneous spaces of quantum orthogonal groups, $\SO_q(N)$. The *-algebra $A(S^{N-1}_q)$ of polynomial functions on each of these is given by generators and relations which can be expressed in terms of a self-adjoint, unipotent matrix. We explicitly construct complete sets of generators for the K-theory (by nontrivial self-adjoint idempotents and unitaries) and the K-homology (by nontrivial Fredholm modules) of the spheres $S_q^{N-1}$. We also construct the corresponding Chern characters in cyclic homology and cohomology and compute the pairing of K-theory with K-homology. On odd spheres (i. e., for N even) we exhibit unbounded Fredholm modules by means of a natural unbounded operator D which, while failing to have compact resolvent, has bounded commutators with all elements in the algebra $A(S^{N-1}_q)$.

description: In a previous paper (El. J. Combin. 6 (1999), R37), the author generalized Ehrhart's idea of counting lattice points in dilated rational polytopes: Given a rational polytope, that is, a polytope with rational vertices, we use its description as the intersection of halfspaces, which determine the facets of the polytope. Instead of just a single dilation factor, we allow different dilation factors for each of these facets. We proved that, if our polytope is a simplex, the lattice point counts in the interior and closure of such a vector-dilated simplex are quasipolynomials satisfying an Ehrhart-type reciprocity law. This generalizes the classical reciprocity law for rational polytopes. In the present paper we complete the picture by extending this result to general rational polytopes. As a corollary, we also generalize a reciprocity theorem of Stanley.

description: We establish a theory of optimal efficiency and power for three-terminal thermoelectric engines which have two independent output electric currents and one input heat current. This set-up goes beyond the conventional heat engines with only one output electric current. For such a set-up, we derive the optimal efficiency and power and their trade-off for three-terminal heat engines with and without time-reversal symmetry. The formalism goes beyond the known optimal efficiency and power for systems with or without time-reversal symmetry, showing interesting features that have not been revealed before. A concrete example of quantum-dot heat engine is studied to show that the current set-up can have much improved efficiency and power compared with previous set-ups with only one output electric current. Our analytical results also apply for thermoelectric heat engines with multiple output electric currents, providing an alternative scheme toward future high-performance thermoelectric materials.

The rings are detected in the mid-IR dust continuum at wavelengths of 7.9, 11.9, 12.9 and 20 micronmeter. The dust in the rings has a temperature of about 300 K. The orientation of the rings is inclined with respect to the axis of the homunculus by either 37 or 58 degrees. The central star is not in the projected centre of the structure defined by the two rings. This geometry is reminiscent of that seen in SN1987A and some planetary nebulae. We discuss several possible origins for this remarkable geometry and its orientation.

Moral sensitivity
Nursing caring behavior

description: BACKGROUND: Caring for patients during a pandemic can be difficult for healthcare workers, the patients themselves, and healthcare systems. Nurses are expected to recognize ethical dilemmas and make sound judgments when confronted with them. Sensitizing nurses to ethical issues strengthen their ability to identify ethical dilemmas and make ethical choices. As a result, this study aimed to determine a relationship between moral sensitivity and caring behavior among nurses during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. METHOD: The current study is a cross-sectional study of 406 nurses who worked in a single hospital during the COVID-19 epidemic. We used a demographic questionnaire and the caring behavior inventory (CBI) tool to collect data online. The data were analyzed using descriptive and correlational statistics. FINDINGS: Eighty-three point seven percent of participants in this study were female, and 71.9% were married. 47.5% reported caring for a COVID-19 patient for longer than a month; their average work experience was 13.1 years. Additionally, Moral Sensitivity correlated positively with caring behavior and its dimensions (r = 0.164, P = 0.001). However, a significant and inverse link existed between the dimension "following the rules" and the nurse's caring conduct (r = -0.117, P = 0.019). CONCLUSION: During the pandemic, nurses' moral sensitivity was moderate and significantly connected with their caring behavior. Because nurses encounter numerous obstacles while caring for patients in critical conditions, they require ethical empowerment to perform correctly, as caring behavior improves with increased moral sensitivity.
Multi-method-modeling of interacting galaxies. I. A unique scenario for NGC 4449?
Creators: name: Theis, Christian

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: (abridged) We combined several N-body methods in order to investigate the interaction scenario between NGC 4449 and DDO 125, a close companion in projected space. In a first step fast restricted N-body models are used to confine a region in parameter space reproducing the main observational features. In a second step a genetic algorithm is applied for a uniqueness test of our preferred parameter set. We show that our genetic algorithm reliably recovers orbital parameters, provided that the data are sufficiently accurate, i.e. all the key features are included. In the third step the results of the restricted N-body models are compared with self-consistent N-body simulations. In the case of NGC 4449, the applicability of the simple restricted N-body calculations is demonstrated. Additionally, it is shown that the HI gas can be modeled here by a purely stellar dynamical approach. In a series of simulations, we demonstrate that the observed features of the extended HI disc can be explained by a gravitational interaction between NGC 4449 and DDO 125. According to these calculations the closest approach between both galaxies happened $\sim 4-6 \cdot 10^8$ yr ago at a minimum distance of $\sim 25$ kpc on a parabolic or slightly elliptic orbit. In the case of an encounter scenario, the dynamical mass of DDO 125 should not be smaller than 10% of NGC 4449's mass. Before the encounter, the observed HI gas was arranged in a disc with a radius of 35-40 kpc around the center of NGC 4449. It had the same orientation as the central ellipsoidal HI structure. The origin of this disc is still unclear, but it might have been caused by a previous interaction.

Detecting gravitational lensing cosmic shear from samples of several galaxies using two-dimensional spectral imaging
Creators: name: Blain, Andrew W.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Studies of weak gravitational lensing by large-scale structures require the measurement of the distortions introduced to the shapes of distant galaxies at the few percent level by anisotropic light deflection along the line of sight. To detect this signal on 1-10 arcmin scales in a particular field, accurate measurements of the correlations between the shapes of order 1000-10000 galaxies are required. This large-scale averaging is required to accommodate the unknown intrinsic shapes of the background galaxies, even with careful removal of systematic effects. Here an alternative is discussed. If it is possible to measure accurately the detailed dynamical structure of the background galaxies, in particular rotating disks, then it should be possible to measure directly the cosmic shear distortion, as it generally leads to a non-self-consistent rotation curve. Narrow spectral lines and excellent two-dimensional spatial resolution are required. The ideal lines and telescope are CO rotational transitions and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) respectively.

description: Complete dissociation dynamics of low energy electron attachment to ammonia molecule has been studied using velocity slice imaging (VSI) spectrometer. One low energy resonant peak around 5.5 eV and a broad resonance around 10.5 eV incident electron energy has been observed. The resonant states mainly dissociate via H$^-$ and NH$_2^-$ fragments, though for the upper resonant state, signature of NH$^-$ fragments are also predicted due to three body dissociation process. Kinetic energy and angular distributions of the NH$_2^-$ fragment anions are measured simultaneously using VSI technique. Based on our experimental observations, we find the signature of A$_1$ symmetry in the 10.5 eV resonance energy whereas, the 5.5 eV resonance is associated with the well known A$_1$ symmetry.

description: The main aim of this study is to investigate the problem of rural unemployment in developing countries with special reference to the Chitawan Valley (in Nepal) experience. A brief review of the existing literature relating to the theoretical framework of the subject is undertaken first. This is followed by the required background information on Nepal. The general hypothesis postulated is that the valley, initiated as a resettlement area nearly a quarter of a century ago, is rapidly heading towards a labour surplus stage. Extreme inter and intra farm heterogeneity in the sample with respect to resource availability and input application necessitated the adoption of a synthetic farm approach. Farm size, land type and level of technology were considered to be the main criteria around which the synthetic farms were constructed. Various methodologies for measuring unemployment were discussed and the ’labour available versus labour required’ variant of the ’labour utilisation approach' was used. Accordingly, the labour utilisation rate was computed for each farm situation by comparing the labour employed (given by Leontief type fixed labour input coefficients) with the annual regular labour available. Given the small size of the sample (55 farming households) the application of the powerful nonparametric test was deemed effective to check the validity of the results. The analyses undertaken indicate the prevalence of underemployment in all the farm situations considered. Unemployment was generally identified as being only seasonal in nature and was concentrated during the winter months. The observed unemployment was attributed, in part, to the monsoonal pattern of agriculture. .Hence, promoting employment through irrigation development seems to be advisable.

description: Genus Marratha n. gen.
 TYPE SPECIES. — Cycloxanthops angustus Rathbun, 1906, by present designation.
ETYMOLOGY. — The genus is named after Mary J. Rathbun (1860-1943), the name derived from an arbitrary abbreviation of her name. Gender feminine.
DIAGNOSIS. — Carapace quadrate, regions well defined, with prominent grooves separating most regions; all regions appear swollen, with scattered granules, those on 2M and 3M arranged in uneven transverse rows, does not appear eroded or rugose. Front produced, separated into two broad lobes by prominent V-shaped cleft, margin uneven to sinuous, serrulate; separated from acutely triangular inner supraorbital tooth by deep V-shaped cleft; subparallel with frontal margin. External orbital tooth acutely triangular, confluent with subcristate anterolateral margin; anterolateral margin arcuate, with four low but prominent lobes, first smallest, margins of lobes prominently granular to tubercular. Posterolateral margin gently convex to almost straight, lined with tubercles. Chelipeds long, slender; outer surfaces rugose, appears partially eroded in parts; fingers elongate, slightly shorter than palm, tips sharp; larger chela with well-developed, broad molariform basal tooth on cutting edge of dactylus. Merus of ambulatory leg serrulate but not cristate. Lateral margins of fused male abdominal segments 3-5 entire, continuous; telson semicircular, lateral margins gently convex, tip rounded. Distal part of G1 with numerous long plumose setae.
REMARKS
 The generic affinities of the type species Cycloxanthops angustus were first placed in doubt when Guinot (1968) suggested it probably belonged to another genus and Serène (1968) in compiling his checklist of Brachyura for the Indo-West Pacific region tentatively referred the species to Neoxanthops ? angustus. This species has a number of characters including the relatively quadrate and flattened carapace; form of the carapace areolation; structure of the anterolateral teeth and ambulatory legs that are so distinctive that this crab does not belong to Cycloxanthops or Neoxanthops as defined currently. Neither can it be assigned to any other known xanthid genera. Serène (1984) had already implied as much when he referred to the species as “Aff. Neoxanthops angustus ”. In its unique overall morphology, C. angustus has to be referred to its own genus.

description: A relativistic pair-plasma which contains a high excitation of electrostatic turbulence could produce intense radiation at brightness temperature in excess of 10^22 K by stimulated scattering. Important relativistic effects would include the broadband frequency response of the plasma and Compton-boosting of the scattered radiation. In radio-frequency relativistic plasma, the optical depth can be as small as hundreds of meters. When the plasma wave excitation and particle distributions are one-dimensional, the frequency-dependent angular distribution of the emission exhibits characteristics of pulsar emission.

description: In the last few years, generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) has become a success factor in various sectors, including the financial industry. Understanding how the industry perceives gen AI is vital for its successful integration. Therefore, we conducted a mixed-methods study consisting of sentiment and subjectivity analyses of finance-related Reddit discussions, combined with expert interviews from global financial institutions. Whereas the public sentiment has a cautious optimism, experts express both strong support and concerns about gen AI implementations in financial institutions. This study contributes to the academic and practical understanding of gen AI’s real-world implications, highlighting the need for well-considered implementation strategies in the financial industry.

description: In museums and exhibitions, augmented reality (AR) technology increases visitor engagement by providing immersive experiences. Using an example in a natural history museum, we discuss how interaction patterns specifically developed for a head-mounted display can also be applied to hand-held devices. The aim is to use the same content on different platforms. The interaction patterns discussed are spatial guidance with following a virtual avatar, the indication of AR content in space and its activation, the control of sequential explanations, and the interaction with annotations such as precisely applied labels. Cross-device solutions and patterns are compared.

description: The deposition of oil drops on solid substrates from mixed solutions of surfactants and cationic polymer is investigated. The used anionic surfactants are sodium laurylethersulfate (SLES) and sulfonated methyl esters (SME); the zwitterionic surfactant is cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB). A new method, called the pressed drop method (PDM), was proposed to study the drop adhesion to substrates of different hydrophobicity. The PDM allows one to detect the presence or absence of drop adhesion at different degrees of dilution of the initial solution and, thus, to determine the threshold concentration of drop adhesion. The results show that the increase of the fraction of CAPB in the mixture with the anionic surfactant suppresses the oil-drop deposition; SME provides easier drop adhesion than SLES; the addition of NaCl enhances, whereas coco-fatty-acid-monoethanolamide (CMEA) suppresses the drop deposition; no drop adhesion is observed in the absence of polymer. The drop-to-substrate adhesion is interpreted in terms of the acting surface forces: polymer bridging attraction; hydrophobic attraction between segments of adsorbed polymer brushes and electrostatic forces. From viewpoint of applications, the PDM experiments enable one to compare the performance of various components in personal care formulations and to optimize their composition with respect to the oil-drop deposition.

description: We present the first three-dimensional MHD radio galaxy simulations that explicitly model transport of relativistic electrons, including diffusive acceleration at shocks as well as radiative and adiabatic cooling in smooth flows. We discuss three simulations of light Mach 8 jets, designed to explore the effects of shock acceleration and radiative aging on the nonthermal particle populations that give rise to synchrotron and inverse-Compton radiations. We also conduct detailed synthetic radio observations of our simulated objects. We have gained several key insights from this approach: 1. The jet head in these multidimensional simulations is extremely complex. The classical jet termination shock is often absent, but motions of the jet terminus spin a ``shock-web complex'' within the backflowing jet material of the head. 2. Understanding the spectral distribution of energetic electrons in these simulations relies partly upon understanding the shock-web complex, for it can give rise to distributions that confound interpretation in terms of the standard model for radiative aging of radio galaxies. 3. The magnetic field outside of the jet itself becomes very intermittent and filamentary in these simulations, yet adiabatic expansion causes most of the cocoon volume to be occupied by field strengths considerably diminished below the nominal jet value. Thus population aging rates vary considerably from point to point.
