description: In this paper, we study a family of fusion and modular systems realizing fusion categories Grothendieck equivalent to the representation category for $so(2p+1)_2$. These categories describe non-abelian anyons dubbed `metaplectic anyons'. We obtain explicit expressions for all the $F$- and $R$-symbols. Based on these, we conjecture a classification for their monoidal equivalence classes from an analysis of their gauge invariants and define a function which gives us the number of classes.

description:  Following in the footsteps of similar initiatives at the boardroom level in Norway and other European countries, the French government decided to impose a gender quota in academic hiring committees in 2015. The goal of this paper is to evaluate how this reform changed the way women are ranked by these committees. The reform aﬀected academic disciplines heterogeneously. I contrast the eﬀect of the reform between ﬁelds that were signiﬁcantly aﬀected, and those that already respected the quota before the reform. Drawing on a unique dataset made up of administrative data provided by French universities, I show that the reform signiﬁcantly worsened both the probability of being hired and the ranks of women, with a treatment eﬀect equivalent to a 4 standard deviation drop in h-index. There is evidence that this is driven mainly by the reaction of men to the reform, since the negative eﬀect of the reform is concentrated in committees that are helmed by men.

description: The parabolic-hyperbolic form of the constraints and superposed Kerr-Schild black holes have already been used to provide a radically new initialization of binary black hole configurations. The method generalizes straightforwardly to multiple black hole systems. This paper is to verify that each of the global Arnowitt-Deser-Misner quantities of the constructed multiple black hole initial data can always be prescribed, as desired, in advance of solving the constraints. These global charges are shown to be uniquely determined by the physical parameters of the involved individual Kerr-Schild black holes.

description: Quantifying biomechanical properties of the human vasculature could deepen our understanding of cardiovascular diseases. Standard nonlinear regression in constitutive modeling requires considerable high-quality data and an explicit form of the constitutive model as prior knowledge. By contrast, we propose a novel approach that combines generative deep learning with Bayesian inference to efficiently infer families of constitutive relationships in data-sparse regimes. Inspired by the concept of functional priors, we develop a generative adversarial network (GAN) that incorporates a neural operator as the generator and a fully-connected neural network as the discriminator. The generator takes a vector of noise conditioned on measurement data as input and yields the predicted constitutive relationship, which is scrutinized by the discriminator in the following step. We demonstrate that this framework can accurately estimate means and standard deviations of the constitutive relationships of the murine aorta using data collected either from model-generated synthetic data or ex vivo experiments for mice with genetic deficiencies. In addition, the framework learns priors of constitutive models without explicitly knowing their functional form, providing a new model-agnostic approach to learning hidden constitutive behaviors from data.

description: The Autonomous Transfer Hub Network (ATHN) is one of the most promising ways to adapt self-driving trucks for the freight industry. These networks use autonomous trucks for the middle mile, while human drivers perform the first and last miles. This paper extends previous work on optimizing ATHN operations by including transfer hub capacities, which are crucial for labor planning and policy design. It presents a Constraint Programming (CP) model that shifts an initial schedule produced by a Mixed Integer Program to minimize the hub capacities. The scalability of the CP model is demonstrated on a case study at the scale of the United States, based on data provided by Ryder System, Inc. The CP model efficiently finds optimal solutions and lowers the necessary total hub capacity by 42%, saving $15.2M in annual labor costs. The results also show that the reduced capacity is close to a theoretical (optimistic) lower bound.

description: This research was conducted to investigate the pasting, rheological and functional properties and gluten-free biscuit making potential of a composite flour prepared from grains of amaranthus, sorghum and finger millet. The formulation to prepare a composite flour was obtained from Doptimal mixture design ratio using Design-Expert®, version 6.0.8 based on the lower and upper limits provided by referring literatures. The functional and pasting properties of the different composite flour blends were determined. The composite flours were thereafter, processed into biscuit and the proximate composition, physical dimensions, mineral concentration and sensory quality attributes of the biscuits were assessed. There were significant (P<0.05) differences in the pasting profile of the control and amaranthus based composites flour except for pasting temperature. From the proximate composition evaluation 13.75, 2.04, 1.77 and 31.75% were found to be the highest values of the biscuit samples in terms of protein, crude fiber, ash and crude fat respectively. There were no significant (P<0.05) differences found in the physical dimensions of the composite flour biscuits. The ranges of iron, zinc, phosphorus and calcium were 14.2123.21, 2.44 - 3.60, 252.76 - 277.39 and 12.75 - 57.19mg/100g, respectively. And also the ranges for phytate, condensed tannin, alkaloids and oxalates content were 61.41 to 179.45mg/100g, 0.58 to 4.67 mg/100g, 0.40 to 4.81% and 76.98 to 294mg/100g, respectively. The study revealed that biscuits of acceptable sensory and higher nutritional quality comparable to the quality of the control could be obtained from amaranthus based composite flours. In conclusion, the use of gluten free grains like amaranth, sorghum and finger millet flour would greatly enhance the nutritional and sensory quality of gluten free biscuits, with an increase in protein and mineral content. Thus, the composite flours can be used as a high quality diversified and nutritious grain sources for the preparation of gluten free food products in the country, where the crops had not been optimally utilized.
Practices of Re-Appropriation and “Liberation” of Urban Commons. The Case of Naples

description: For decades, commons and related management practices have been at the center of a broader academic, political and public debate. There have been many attempts to recognize, categorize and analyse this type of goods, that are, by definition, other than State and Market. In the urban context, there are many experiences that show how the citizens, in order to reclaim abandoned and/or disused public spaces and places, act informal practices as a response to collective requests that try to resist and contain processes of commodification of space (Lefebvre, 1976). Starting from these reflections, the article engages with the debate on the practices of re-appropriation of urban commons put into action by the local community. Preferring an ethnographic research approach, the article presents the results of a case study concerned the building of Santa Maria della Fede “Liberata”. An abandoned public building, located in the historic area of Naples, at the center of a commoning and liberation process.

description: Synchrotron emission pervades the Galactic plane at low radio frequencies, originating from cosmic ray electrons interacting with the Galactic magnetic field. Using a low-frequency radio telescope, the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), we measure the free-free absorption of this Galactic synchrotron emission by intervening HII regions along the line of sight. These absorption measurements allow us to calculate the Galactic cosmic-ray electron emissivity behind and in front of 47 detected HII regions in the region $250^\circ < l < 355^\circ$, $|b| < 2^\circ$. We find that all average emissivities between the HII regions and the Galactic edge along the line of sight ($ε_b$) are in the range of 0.24$\,\,\sim\,\,$0.70$\,\,$K$\,\,$pc$^{-1}$ with a mean of 0.40$\,\,$K$\,\,$pc$^{-1}$ and a variance of 0.10$\,\,$K$\,\,$pc$^{-1}$ at 88$\,\,$MHz. Our best model, the Two-circle model, divides the Galactic disk into three regions using two circles centring on the Galactic centre. It shows a high emissivity region near the Galactic centre, a low emissivity region near the Galactic edge, and a medium emissivity region between these two regions, contrary to the trend found by previous studies.

description: Recently, Gutman defined a new vertex-degree-based graph invariant, named the Sombor index $SO$ of a graph $G$, and is defined by $$SO(G)=\sum_{uv\in E(G)}\sqrt{d_G(u)^2+d_G(v)^2},$$ where $d_G(v)$ is the degree of the vertex $v$ of $G$. In this paper, we obtain the sharp lower and upper bounds on $SO(G)$ of a connected graph, and characterize graphs for which these bounds are attained.

description: We embed the component fields of eleven-dimensional supergravity into a superspace of the form $X\times Y$ where $X$ is the standard 4D, $N=1$ superspace and $Y$ is a smooth 7-manifold. The eleven-dimensional 3-form gives rise to a tensor hierarchy of superfields gauged by the diffeomorphisms of $Y$. It contains a natural candidate for a $G_2$ structure on $Y$, and being a complex of superforms, defines a superspace Chern-Simons invariant. Adding to this a natural generalization of the Riemannian volume on $X\times Y$ and freezing the (superspin-$\frac32$ and 1) supergravity fields on $X$, we obtain an approximation to the eleven-dimensional supergravity action that suffices to compute the scalar potential. In this approximation the action is the sum of the superspace Chern-Simons term and a superspace generalization of the Hitchin functional for $Y$ as a $G_2$-structure manifold. Integrating out auxiliary fields, we obtain the conditions for unbroken supersymmetry and the scalar potential. The latter reproduces the Einstein-Hilbert term on $Y$ in a form due to Bryant.

Nilpotent Symmetries of a Model of 2D Diffeomorphism Invariant Theory: BRST Approach

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Within the framework of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism, we discuss the full set of proper BRST and anti-BRST transformations for a 2D diffeomorphism invariant theory which is described by the Lagrangian density of a standard bosonic string. The above (anti-)BRST transformations are off-shell nilpotent and absolutely anticommuting. The latter property is valid on a submanifold of the space of the quantum fields where the 2D version of the universal (anti-)BRST invariant Curci-Ferrari (CF) type of restrictions are satisfied. We derive the precise forms of the BRST and anti-BRST invariant Lagrangian densities as well as the exact expressions for the conserved (anti-)BRST and ghost charges. The lucid derivation of the proper anti-BRST symmetry transformations and the emergence of the CF-type restrictions are completely novel results for our present bosonic string which has already been discussed earlier in literature where only the BRST symmetry transformations have been pointed out. We briefly mention the derivation of the CF-type restrictions from the modified version of Bonora-Tonin superfield approach, too.

description: We simulate the capture process of MgF molecules into a frequency-chirped molecular MOT. Our calculations show that by chirping the frequency, the MOT capture velocity is increased by about of factor of 4 to 80 m/s, allowing for direct loading from a two-stage cryogenic buffer gas beam source. Moreover, we simulate the effect of this frequency chirp for molecules already present in the MOT. We find that the MOT should be stable with little to no molecule loss. The chirped MOT should thus allow loading of multiple molecule pulses to increase the number of trapped molecules

Getting Inked at a Tattoo Convention: Subjectivity and Belonging within an Alternative Cultural Heterotopia¹

description: The article explores the Tattoo Convention environment as a privileged context to observe the power relations and the negotiation of meanings framed by the tattoo culture. We focus our analysis on the dynamics that regard the field of Tattoo Convention as an alternative cultural heterotopia (St. John, 2011), giving particular attention to the tension between the desire for community and belonging - which shapes the bio-sociability (Ortega, 2004; Ferreira, 2009) in the space of the convention - and the pursuit of a unique and exclusive body-project. We see broader dynamics of conflict - between inclusion and exclusion, “cool” and mainstream, standardisation and artistry - resonating with this tension. Within this frame, corporal dimensions such as the pain take on the intensification of the biographical meanings (Le Breton, 2002) for individuals and liturgical element for the community.

description: Le renouveau récent des pratiques académiques d’évaluation des politiques publiques en France s’est accompagné d'une forte valorisation des méthodes quantitatives, notamment expérimentales et quasi-expérimentales. Cette situation invite à revenir sur les fondements des méthodes qualitatives en sciences sociales et sur l’histoire de leurs usages en évaluation sur le plan international, pour identifier la place qu’elles pourraient occuper dans cette démarche en France. Nous revenons sur les implications, pour le champ de l’évaluation, de trois caractéristiques idéaltypiques des approches qualitatives : l’attention au sens assigné à l’action, la mise en lumière de processus, et la place de l’induction. Nous montrons que ces approches gagnent à être mobilisées dans l’étude de toutes les séquences des politiques publiques qui sont classiquement l’objet de l’évaluation. A la lumière des débats sur le positionnement épistémologique des méthodes qualitatives et sur les démarches participatives, nous insistons sur l’intérêt d’ancrer l’évaluation qualitative dans une démarche systématique de production scientifique.
Improvement of Shelf Life of 'Injera' Using Chemical Preservatives
Creators: name: Zewdu, Ashagrie
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2009

description: Injera is staple Ethiopian fermented bread which can be made from different types of cereals, particularly from tef (Eragrostis tef). About two-third of Ethiopian diet consists of injera and it accounts for about two-third of the daily protein intake of Ethiopian population. It has a very high nutritional value, as it is rich in calcium and iron. Unfortunately, injera has a short shelf life of 3-4 days essentially due to mould spoilage. The use of weak organic acid as preservatives is allowed in acidic foods, primarily as mould inhibitor. In this study, the influence of some commonly used chemical preservatives, benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate and calcium propionate was investigated by isolation of moulds before and during its ambient storage for 12 days. The preservatives were added immediately before baking at the concentration of 0.1% of benzoic acid/ sodium benzoate, 0.2 % of potassium sorbate, 0.3 % of calcium propionate and 0. 2 % blend of the four (wt/wt) as recommended by Food and Drug Administration. Three fungal species: Aspergillus niger, Penicillium sp and Rhizopus sp found to be responsible in injera spoilage. Penicillium and Rhizopus are more dominant at the temperature of between 16-200c, while Aspergillus niger is more dominant at higher temperature of between 25-320c. Injera samples had a pH and moisture content of 3.38- 3.45 and 62-65%, respectively. Antimicrobial activities of the preservatives investigated prolong the shelf life of injera up to12 days. The effectiveness of preservation was ranked as sodium benzoate>benzoic acid>potassium sorbate>blend >calcium propionate showing that benzoates and benzoic acid are the most effective. The incorporation of benzoic acid and its salt while preparing injera at home or in larger scale processing should be practiced so as to save a significant amount of injera that is lost due to mould spoilage.

description: This thesis investigated macroscopic safety models while addressing methodological issues of spatial autocorrelation and unobserved heterogeneity. The thesis examined the application of macroscopic safety models for transportation network screening. A number of advanced statistical and spatial tools were employed to achieve the aim of this thesis. Several planning level factors were identified to influence road safety at the macroscopic level. Addressing spatial autocorrelation and unobserved heterogeneity was found to improve the predictive performance of studied safety models. The developed safety models provide safety practitioners with a basis for the critical application of safety models for hot zone identification and network screening.

description: Principlism, a most prominent approach in bioethics, has been criticized for lacking an underlying moral theory. We propose that the four principles of principlism can be related to the four traditional cardinal virtues. These virtues appear prominently in Plato's Republic and in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. We show how this connection can be made. In this way principlism has its own compelling ethical basis.

In particular, the topological properties of the entanglement Hamiltonian of the chiral $ d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}+id_{xy} $ superconductivity state obtained by tracing out one spin direction clearly differ from those of the time-reversal invariant Hamiltonian of noninteracting fermions on the honeycomb lattice.

However, the feasibility of using alginate beads in industry is largely dependent on their photo-stability during operation. This study aimed to provide a better understanding on the degradation of alginate/TiO2 beads under UV irradiation and to improve beads stability. The beads stability can be improved by increasing the alginate concentration, the TiO2 concentration, and by dehydrating the beads or incorporating a photo-inert filler in the beads.

Generating Community through Interpersonal Relations and Digital Media: The Experience of Italian Parishes. Quantitative Research - First Stage Results
Creators: name: Boccacin, Lucia
name: Lombi, Linda
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2021

description: This paper has two cognitive objectives: to illustrate the contribution of Italian parishes to the development of interpersonal and associative social relationships capable of building community environments, and to improve understanding of the role played by community technology in shaping these relationships. The above were investigated using relative quantitative information culled from an online questionnaire from 420 Italian church parishes. An analysis of the data revealed the particular contribution of Italian parishes in favouring the construction of a community at both the local and symbolic levels, communities where interpersonal and digital relationships play a crucial role even if via different modes and styles.

description: Geometrical optics provides an instructive insight into Brownian motion, ``pushed" into a large-deviations regime by imposed constraints. Here we extend geometrical optics of Brownian motion by accounting for diffusion inhomogeneity in space. We consider three simple model problems of Brownian motion on the line or in the plane in situations where the diffusivity of the Brownian particle depends on one spatial coordinate. One of our results describes ``Brownian refraction": an analog of refraction of light passing through a boundary between two media with different refraction indices.

description: Edible packaging films have received a considerable attention in recent years because of their advantage over the synthetic films in the reduction of environmental pollution. The aim of the research was development of optimal edible packaging bio-films from gelatin and glycerol by varying the concentration of (5,10 and 15 wt/wt) and (4,8,12 and 16v/wt) respectively with the main responses of physical property (solubility, swelling and WVTR) and mechanical property (tensile strength and elongation at break), and re-preparing a packaging bio-film by adding Nigella Sativa seed extract together with gelatin and glycerol optimal response results and finding its antimicrobial activities of the developed packaging bio-films against foodborn pathogens. The factorial response optimizer results were gelatin concentration (10g gelatin/100ml aqueous solution) and glycerol concentration (4ml glycerol/100ml aqueous solution), solubility (54.76%), swelling (43.99%), WVTR (0.145gm/day cm ), tensile strength (20.302Mpa), and elongation at break (14.95%). The optimal re-prepared packaging bio-films with the addition of Nigella Sativa seed extract with the concentration (12.5%, 25% and 50%) were also analyzed its Antimicrobial activities against targeted food-born pathogens (Escherchia coli, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The Nigella Sativa seed extract showed result (30, 23 and 19.5mm inhibition zone on Escherchia coli , 30, 25.5 and 20mm inhibition zone on Salmonella typhi and 30, 24 and 20 inhibition zone on Staphylococcus aureus with the concentration of Nigella Sativa seeds extract of 75, 50 and 25% for the mentioned pathogens respectively) except for (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) whereas the bio-film that contain the Nigella Sativa seed extract showed only surface inhibition. In conclusion, this study confirms that the bio-films developed from this gelatin, glycerol and Nigella Sativa seed extract had an antimicrobial activity on food-born pathogens. Therefore, this may be used for wide range of food packaging on perishable vegetables and fruits in order to reduce their vulnerable microbial growth and extend their shelf stability of food products.

Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2021

description: This paper is based on the results of a systematized review analyzing a corpus of empirical literature on the topic of sharenting following the conceptual framework of the 5Ws and 1 H, here mobilized to map the characteristics and modalities of this practice through the analysis of 49 empirical studies. Findings provide information in terms of who shares contents about parenting and children online, what is shared and where (in terms of platforms used), when, as in life phases during which sharenting takes place, why, as in the rationale behind it, and finally how, in terms of parents’ decision-making, governance and privacy strategies about whether and how to share of their parenting and children online. Future directions are finally discussed.

Multi-incidence angle soil moisture retrieval using passive microwave data at L-band
Creators: name: Peischl, Sandy
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: THIS thesis investigates the potential of multi-incidence angle L-band measurements to enhance the retrieval process of near-surface soil moisture information from passive microwave data. In particular, it examines remotely sensed multi-angle observations collected over Australia by both airborne and spaceborne systems at varying spatial and temporal resolution. Initial work focussed on the adaption of one of the current state-of-the-art retrieval algorithms called L-band Microwave Emission of the Biosphere (L-MEB) to multi-angle measurements. Subsequently, the modified model was applied to three independent sets of field data to evaluate different aspects of the retrieval mechanism. Two out of the three available datasets were collected prior to the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity Mission (SMOS) launch in 2009. However, the third field experiment named Australian Airborne Cal/val Experiments for SMOS (AACES) was specifically designed for calibration and validation of SMOS. The design and realisation of this intensive field campaign, which was conducted twice in summer and winter, was a vital part of this Ph.D. The multi-incidence angle research included an initial assessment on the performance of specific model parameterizations by comparison with ground data. Further analysis focussed on partly synthetic studies on the accuracy of simultaneously derived model parameters at various angular groups and parameter combinations. Findings from the previous research were then tested on the newly available AACES dataset, which in turn was used to evaluate the performance of the spaceborne L-band sensor of SMOS. The findings from the synthetic study and the field measurements were compiled and ultimately aim at supporting a better understanding and utilization of multi-incidence angle observations for the purpose of large scale soil moisture mapping.

description: Offshore drilling platforms strive to keep crude oil warm to avoid undesirable wax formation under cold subsea temperatures. This research involves mesoscopic physics (lattice Boltzmann method - LBM) and its application in thermal management as mitigation technique against paraffin wax formation in stored crude oil, a solution which may save billions of dollars yearly to the petroleum industry. Major highlights in this thesis includes development of an in-house double-population LBM algorithm coupled with MRT and VCA techniques, thermal energy storage fins prolong wax formation by 94%, and melting of wax is enhanced by 13% using solely convective flow dynamics reconstruction.

description: We show that the repulsive effects associated to the zero-point energies of quantum fields are capable of supporting ultracompact stars that overcome the compactness limits present in general relativity for any object in hydrostatic equilibrium. These objects are exact self-consistent solutions in semiclassical gravity that incorporate the backreaction of the renormalized stress-energy tensor (RSET) of quantum fields in vacuum. We arrive at stars of striking qualitative agreement through two independent modelings of the RSET, evidencing the generality and robustness of this result. The main physical properties of these novel black hole mimickers are reviewed.

Single-shot diffraction-limited imaging through scattering layers via bispectrum analysis

description: Recently introduced speckle-correlations based techniques enable noninvasive imaging of objects hidden behind scattering layers. In these techniques the hidden object Fourier amplitude is retrieved from the scattered light autocorrelation, and the lost Fourier phase is recovered via iterative phase-retrieval algorithms, which suffer from convergence to wrong local-minima solutions and cannot solve ambiguities in object-orientation. Here, inspired by notions used in astronomy, we experimentally demonstrate that in addition to Fourier amplitude, the object phase information is naturally and inherently encoded in scattered light bispectrum (the Fourier transform of triple-correlation), and can also be extracted from a single high-resolution speckle pattern, based on which we present a single-shot imaging scheme to deterministically and unambiguously retrieve diffraction-limited images of objects hidden behind scattering layers.
