description: Study on the electronic transport of a large scale two dimensional system by the transfer matrix method (TMM) based on the Schördinger equation suffers from the numerical instability. To address this problem, we propose a renormalized transfer matrix method (RTMM) by setting up a set of linear equations from U times of multiplication of traditional transfer matrix (U=N/S}with N and S being the atom number of length and the transfer step), and smaller S is required for wider systems. Then we solve the above linear equations by Gauss elimination method and further optimize to reduce the computational complexity from O(U^3M^3) to O(UM^3), in which M is the atom number of the width. Applying RTMM, we study transport properties of large scale pure and long-range correlated disordered armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGR) (carbon atoms up to 10^6 for pure case) between quantum wire contacts. As for pure AGR, the conductance is superlinear with the Fermi energy and the conductance is linear with the width while independent of the length, showing characteristics of ballistic transport. As for disordered AGR with long-range correlation, there is metal-insulator transition induced by the correlation strength of disorder. It is straightforward to extend RTMM to investigate transport in large scale system with irregular structure.

Application of Compressed Sensing Algorithms in Multipath Interference of Time-of-Flight Imaging
Creators: name: Song, Qiang
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: A Time-of-Flight(ToF) camera is a compact device, which can provide highly-resolved depth information between camera and scenery. However, on account of multipath interference (MPI), distortion in the measurements appears, leading to an erroneous depth estimate. A possible solution for resolving this issue is by means of algorithms that exploit sparse regularization to recover multiple return paths from multiple frequency measurements. In this paper, three different sparse reconstruction algorithms, namely, Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) and l1-minimization approaches like Kalman filter and Chambolle and Pock's primal-dual algorithm are applied on real data affected by MPI. All the three algorithms generate an accurate depth map, among which OMP works the fastest. In addition, the convergence-accelerated algorithms of Kalman filter and Chambolle and Pock's primal-dual algorithm are adopted, the depth map generated by the convergence-accelerated Kalman filter shows the smaller error areas in comparison with the other four algorithms.

description: Meiosis is an ancestral, highly conserved process in eukaryotic life cycles, and for all eukaryotes the shared component of sexual reproduction. The benefits and functions of meiosis, however, are still under discussion, especially considering the costs of meiotic sex. To get a novel view on this old problem, we filter out the most conserved elements of meiosis itself by reviewing the various modifications and alterations of modes of reproduction. Our rationale is that the indispensable steps of meiosis for viability of offspring would be maintained by strong selection, while dispensable steps would be variable. We review evolutionary origin and processes in normal meiosis, restitutional meiosis, polyploidization and the alterations of meiosis in forms of uniparental reproduction (apomixis, apomictic parthenogenesis, automixis, selfing) with a focus on plants and animals. This overview suggests that homologue pairing, double-strand break formation and homologous recombinational repair at prophase I are the least dispensable elements, and they are more likely optimized for repair of oxidative DNA damage rather than for recombination. Segregation, ploidy reduction and also a biparental genome contribution can be skipped for many generations. The evidence supports the theory that the primary function of meiosis is DNA restoration rather than recombination.

description: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has a pivotal role as a remote imaging method. Obtained by means of coherent illumination, SAR images are contaminated with speckle noise. The statistical modeling of such contamination is well described according with the multiplicative model and its implied G0 distribution. The understanding of SAR imagery and scene element identification is an important objective in the field. In particular, reliable image contrast tools are sought. Aiming the proposition of new tools for evaluating SAR image contrast, we investigated new methods based on stochastic divergence. We propose several divergence measures specifically tailored for G0 distributed data. We also introduce a nonparametric approach based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance for G0 data. We devised and assessed tests based on such measures, and their performances were quantified according to their test sizes and powers. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we present a robustness analysis of test statistics and of maximum likelihood estimators for several degrees of innovative contamination. It was identified that the proposed tests based on triangular and arithmetic-geometric measures outperformed the Kolmogorov-Smirnov methodology.

description:
The current global pandemic has hit children and young people particularly hard. The online lessons brought a lot of distance and some children lost the fun of school education. In the Museum Mineralogia Munich there are now special workshops so that children and young people can enjoy school again. Among other things, the participants learn why volcanoes erupt, what we can learn from meteorites, how rocks are formed, but also what minerals and rocks have to do with our smartphones. The courses are designed in such a way that children and teenager can do as much practical work as possible. Microscopes are used, rocks and minerals are determined, crystal models are recreated with 3D pens or handicraft sheets and the rock cycle is additionally explained by a gravel card game. A key goal is to create enthusiasm for geosciences and other STEM subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. The courses are designed for two major age groups (8 to 12 years) and (above 13 years). Additionally, courses are adapted to the pre-knowledge and interest of the children. The four described workshops are organized as individual and consecutive courses to ensure a better connection between children and the museum. Additional programs offer longer-term projects where children can design their own exhibitions. The courses are financially supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and take place in the Museum Mineralogia Munich.

Interface kinetics in phase field models: isothermal transformations in binary alloys and steps dynamics in molecular-beam-epitaxy

description: We present a unified description of interface kinetic effects in phase field models for isothermal transformations in binary alloys and steps dynamics in molecular-beam-epitaxy. The phase field equations of motion incorporate a kinetic cross-coupling between the phase field and the concentration field. This cross coupling generalizes the phenomenology of kinetic effects and was omitted until recently in classical phase field models. We derive general expressions (independent of the details of the phase field model) for the kinetic coefficients within the corresponding macroscopic approach using a physically motivated reduction procedure. The latter is equivalent to the so-called thin interface limit but is technically simpler. It involves the calculation of the effective dissipation that can be ascribed to the interface in the phase field model. We discuss in details the possibility of a non positive definite matrix of kinetic coefficients, i.e. a negative effective interface dissipation, although being in the range of stability of the underlying phase field model. Numerically, we study the step-bunching instability in molecular-beam-epitaxy due to the Ehrlich-Schwoebel effect, present in our model due to the cross-coupling. Using the reduction procedure we compare the results of the phase field simulations with the analytical predictions of the macroscopic approach.

description:
While oxygenation of the atmosphere on early Earth is attributed to cyanobacterial oxygenic photosynthesis, the limitations on their expansion is not well understood. Our worked is focussed on assessing the impact of early Earth conditions on ancestral lineages of Cyanobacteria.

Iron is essential for photosynthetic pigment biosynthesis, however the high availability of iron on early Earth contrasts the present-day scenario. We have recently investigated the evolution of iron uptake receptors across the Cyanobacteria and found phylogenetic evidence of commonly occurring uptake mechanisms in the Proterozoic but not the Archaean. The release of oxygen not only alters the redox balance of the environment, it also induces stress on cellular biochemistry by generating oxygen free radicals. We demonstrate that, in a simulated marine environment, deep branching Cyanobacteria undergo less oxidative stress under an anoxic atmosphere than today. Additionally, we demonstrate increased O2 accumulation for aquatic cultures of Cyanobacteria under a 24-hour diurnal cycle compared to a 12-hour cycle. Finally, we show that nitrogen fixation is not restricted under the anoxic, elevated CO2 rich atmosphere of the Archean.

In summary, our research to date suggests that reduced iron acquisition efficiencies may have limited the spread of Cyanobacteria on early Earth, while oxidative stress, does not appear to have been a limiting factor for filamentous strains. Further investigations into the role heterotrophic siderophore iron acquisition within a benthic or free-living community will further elucidate the conundrum of iron limitation in a ferruginous world.

description: With the widespread usage of ToF cameras, the operating conditions should be taken into account in order to obtain accurate 3D images. In this work, we aim to study the effect of dirt on 3D imaging systems quantitatively. To this end, dust is deposited on polycarbonate sheets to attain different transmittances. To the best of our knowledge, for the first time we provide standardized methods for evaluating the effect of dirt on protective covers in the depth estimation of ”flash lidars”. The accuracy of depth measurements obtained by multi-frequency multipath recovery in the absence of dust is up to 99%.

title: Geoethics, applied philosophies of geoSTEM

description:

The geoSTEM disciplines (Geosciences, Erdwissenschaften, Sciences de la Terre) are relevant to Planet Earth's stewardship in times of anthropogenic global change. Research into ‘responsible geosciences’ recently led geoscientists to amalgamate insights into societal and geoscientific features of the World and Earth. The outcome is a set of geo-philosophical frameworks. As a particular philosophical framework, Geoethics emerged a decade ago as “research and reflection on the values which underpin appropriate behaviours and practices, wherever human activities interact with the Earth system” [1; p. 30].

Experiences show that ethically sound operational practices depend on environmental, social and cultural settings. The composite design of geo-philosophical frameworks enables context-depending practices, hence, a pluralism of socially rational ethical choices; favourable of ‘comparative justice’ [2].

Various epistemic-moral geo-philosophical frameworks (geoethics) can be assembled. For example, Kohlberg’s, Jonas’, and Bunge’s political philosophies about the level of cooperation of agents, the responsibility of agents of change, and the individual balance of agent’s well-being and duty, respectively, offer a geoethics that proposes a realist-materialist understanding of societal fabrics [3]. Consequently, geoethics are multiple, although based on a common epistemic foundation in geoSTEM expertise.

description: Museum curators and archaeologists use analytical science to provide important information on artworks and objects. For example, scientific techniques provide information on artwork elemental composition, origin and authenticity, and corrosion products, while also finding use in the day-to-day conservation of many historical objects in museums and archaeological sites around the world. In this work two special cases are being discussed. In the first part of our work, physicochemical studies of an icon on a metal substrate were carried out using non-destructive, qualitative analysis of pigments and organic-based binding media, employing various microscopic and analytical techniques, such as Optical Fluorescence Microscopy, XRF, and Gas Chromatography. In the second part of our work, laser cleaning of late Roman coins has been performed using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm, 6 ns) and a GaAlAs diode laser (780 nm, 90 ps). The corrosion products have been removed, while we observe increased concentrations in Ag, which is the main material of the silvering plating found in late Roman coins.

description: Let $C$ be a projective smooth connected curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, let $F$ be its field of functions, let $C_0$ be a dense open subset of $C$. Let $X$ be a projective flat morphism to $C$ whose generic fiber $X_F$ is a smooth equivariant compactification of $G$ such that $D=X_F\setminus G_F$ is a divisor with strict normal crossings, let $U$ be a surjective and flat model of $G$ over $C_0$. We consider a motivic height zeta function, a formal power series with coefficients in a suitable Grothendieck ring of varieties, which takes into account the spaces of sections $s$ of $X\to C$ of given degree with respect to (a model of) the log-anticanonical divisor $-K_{X_F}(D)$ such that $s(C_0)$ is contained in $U$. We prove that this power series is rational, that its "largest pole" is at $\mathbf L^{-1}$, the inverse of the class of the affine line in the Grothendieck ring, and compute the "order" of this pole as a sum of dimensions of various Clemens complexes at places of $ C\setminus C_0$. This is a geometric analogue of a result over number fields by the first author and Yuri Tschinkel (Duke Math. J., 2012). The proof relies on the Poisson summation formula in motivic integration, established by Ehud Hrushovski and David Kazhdan (Moscow Math. J, 2009).

This paper examines the transition from government to governance in transboundary water resource management that is widely noted in the literature. As researchers and managers recognize the shortcomings of traditional management of natural resources, a shift away from the traditional, rules-­‐based approach to an adaptive, iterative, and cross-­‐scale form of management is occurring. This research focused on the Abbotsford-­‐Sumas Aquifer International Task Force as a possible example of this paradigm shift. Semi-­‐structured interviews and surveys were used to collect background information and history, current status and efforts, and future directions of the Task Force. The results of the research show that adaptive management is not occurring and therefore the Task Force is not an example of active adaptive governance. Although the Task Force has been successful in providing a means for information sharing and collaboration very little has been done in terms of action items leading to the reduction of nitrate contamination in the aquifer. Although largely ineffective in accomplishing its mission, stakeholders still value small, working groups and continue to show interest in participating.

description: The investigation of the properties of the Higgs boson, especially a test of the predicted linear dependence of the branching ratios on the mass of the final state is going to be an integral part of the physics program at colliders at the energy frontier for the foreseeable future. The large Higgs boson production cross section at a 3TeV CLIC machine allows for a precision measurement of the Higgs branching ratios. The cross section times branching ratio of the decays H->bb, H->cc and H->μμ of a Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass of 120 GeV can be measured with a statistical uncertainty of 0.23%, 3.1% and 15%, respectively, assuming an integrated luminosity of 2 ab-1.

description:
A new chalcogenide mineral, Richardsite, was proposed in literature with a composition Zn2CuGaS4 and crystallizing in the tetragonal stannite-type structure [1].

This compound can be viewed as a mixed crystal in the solid solution 2(ZnS) – CuGaS2. The composition of 2(ZnS)x(CuGaS2)1-x with x=0.5 results in the Richardsite chemical composition. We have studied this solid solution series concerning the crystal structure of mixed crystals using powder samples synthesized by solid state reaction of the elements. Additional single crystals, aiming for a composition of Richardsite, have been grown by chemical vapour transport (CVT). The chemical composition of the synthesized material has been determined by WDX spectroscopy as well as EDX-analysis in the STEM.

Both end members are non-isotype: CuGaS2 crystallizes in the chalcopyrite and ZnS in the zinc-blende structure. Rietveld analysis of X-ray diffraction data and TEM investigations revealed that the 2(ZnS)x(CuGaS2)1-x system forms a solid solution series but with a broad miscibility gap (0.2<x<0.5). Within this gap two phases, as tetragonal domains in a cubic matrix, coexist. Thus the mixed crystal with x=0.5, corresponding to Richardsite, adopts the cubic zinc-blende structure.

We could not prove the existence of Richardsite, Zn2CuGaS4, as a new member of the stannite group. Our findings show that Zn2CuGaS4 crystallizes not in the tetragonal stannite structure but in the cubic zinc-blende structure.

description: Cygnus X is a conspicuous massive-star forming region in the Local Arm of the Galaxy at ~1.4 kpc from the solar system. Gamma-ray observations can be used to trace cosmic rays (CRs) interacting with the ambient interstellar gas and low-energy radiation fields. Using the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) we have discovered the presence of a 50-pc wide cocoon of freshly-accelerated CRs in the region bounded by the ionization fronts from the young stellar clusters. On the other hand, the LAT data show that the CR population averaged over the whole Cygnus complex on a scale of 400 pc is similar to that found in the interstellar space near the Sun. These results confirm the long-standing hypothesis that massive star-forming regions host CR factories and shed a new light on the early phases of CR life in such a turbulent environment.

description:
The Arsanjan area is located in the middle of the Zagros thrust zone, south central Iran, and consists of a series of ranges and plains. The study area is situated in the east and southeast of the Arsanjan city, where several Paleolithic and late prehistoric cave sites have so far been recorded. One of the largest cave sites is Tang-e Eshkan that opens to the southwest and faces a large plain at the junction of two valleys. The cave has been archaeologically excavated in 3 seasons from which numerous Middle Paleolithic and Upper Paleolithic lithic materials have been unearthed.

One of the questions raised from the study of the archaeological lithic artifacts was the source of the huge amount of lithic materials recovered from the cave. In this regard, the major aim of this study was to search for the possible sources used by the Paleolithic people for manufacturing their lithic tools. For this purpose, the surrounding area of the cave was surveyed and sampled. The samples were then compared with the lithic artifacts exhumed from the cave from the viewpoint of their color and appearance as well as their petrographic and geochemical characteristics.

Based on the field and hand specimen observations and the petrographic and geochemical investigations, both high-silica materials from the riverbed and the surrounding rock outcrops could have been used by Paleolithic hunter-gatherers in the Arsanjan area.

description: The human intestine plays an important role as a barrier against the ingress of pathogens and other harmful antigens. Accordingly, proper regulation of the intestinal barrier is essential for optimal health. Intestinal barrier function is regulated in part by the interactions between dietary compounds and the intestinal immune system. Bioactive whey proteins from bovine milk (such as lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and immunoglobulins) are known to exert a range of physiological functions, including modulation of the immune system, and thus have the potential to regulate intestinal barrier function. While the effects of individual whey proteins on intestinal barrier function have been studied to some extent, less is known about the potentially synergistic properties of whey protein mixtures. Here we investigated the effects of a bioactive bovine whey protein (BWP) extract containing all whey proteins with an isoelectric point >6.8 on intestinal barrier function in vitro. Intestinal epithelial cell (Caco-2) monolayers were treated with BWP before measuring the barrier integrity over 48 h by means of trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER). Treatment of epithelial monolayers with 1 mg/mL BWP resulted in an increase in TEER compared with untreated epithelial monolayers. To determine whether BWP could mitigate immune-mediated intestinal barrier dysfunction, we challenged differentiated Caco-2 cell monolayers with tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) to obtain an in vitro model of a “leaky” intestinal epithelium. The TNFα challenge led to a decrease in TEER over time across untreated control monolayers, indicating a loss of barrier function. This loss of barrier function was mitigated in monolayers treated with 1 mg/mL BWP, but not monolayers treated with the equivalent amount of lactoferrin present in 1 mg/mL BWP. These data suggest that naturally co-occurring bioactive proteins together may enhance intestinal barrier integrity and protect against inflammation-induced barrier dysfunction to a greater extent than lactoferrin alone. Further work is required to determine the key proteins and protein combinations within BWP, and the mechanisms through which BWP modulates intestinal barrier function.

description: We explore a connection between the Finslerian area functional based on the Busemann-Hausdorff-volume form, and well-investigated Cartan functionals to solve Plateau's problem in Finsler 3-space, and prove higher regularity of solutions. Free and semi-free geometric boundary value problems, as well as the Douglas problem in Finsler space can be dealt with in the same way. We also provide a simple isoperimetric inequality for minimal surfaces in Finsler spaces.

description: The nonequilibrium transfer of the energy between electrons of counter-propagating quasi-one-dimensional systems has been perturbatively calculated for edge channels in a two-dimensional system in the integer quantum Hall effect. The processes involving two electrons that are allowed only in the system with disorder have been taken into account. Expressions for the cases of Coulomb scattering and transfer of nonequilibrium phonons have been obtained. The energy transferred per unit time has a quasi-threshold dependence on the degree of nonequilibrium of the hot channel. According to numerical estimates for electrons in GaAs, Coulomb scattering processes dominate in the energy transfer and the expected effect can be experimentally observed.

description:
During the last decades, one hard coal mine in Germany after the other stopped production and entered the post-mining phase. The last pits that terminated active mining were Ibbenbüren and Prosper-Haniel in 2018. For reasons of cost efficiency, the pumping of mine water is reorganized in this phase and levels are allowed to rise up to a certain depth below the surface. This process goes along with pressure changes in the rock that may e.g. cause surface displacements, seismicity or increased leakage of soil gases. In order to gain a better understanding of its effects and their dependency on the geological situation, the interdisciplinary project FloodRisk funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) started investigating the post-mining process from the perspectives of geology, geophysics and geodesy. The present paper takes the perspective of geodesy and uses Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to investigate surface displacements at Ibbenbüren and in the eastern Ruhr area for the period January 2018 to March 2021.
