description: Partially-premixed flames (PPFs) incorporate effects of both premixed and non-premixed types of reaction zones. The modelling of PPFs using manifold-based model reduction methods faces some inherent difficulties due to the underlying assumptions of a-priori identification of the type of combustion system. In this work, the reaction–diffusion manifold (REDIM) model reduction method is applied to study PPFs. The REDIM method requires minimal prior knowledge about the type of combustion system, which makes it a suitable method for studying PPFs. It allows incorporating system-specific diffusion (gradients) terms in a generic way so that the manifold can evolve according to the diffusion related information provided by the combustion system. In this way, a prior identification of the type of combustion system is no longer needed. This work utilises an iterative methodology to generate REDIM chemistry tables so that the reduced manifold can be iteratively converged very close to the detailed manifold according to the gradients of the reduced coordinates provided by the physical combustion system in each iteration step. In addition, a new method is proposed to provide the gradient estimates of the reduced coordinates during the generation of REDIM from the scattered gradient data in REDIM reduced CFD calculations. Laminar triple flames, a special case of PPFs, with two types of mixture fraction gradients are selected as the target cases to assess the presented iterative methodology. REDIM reduced calculations are compared with simulations based on detailed finite-rate kinetics. It is found that in the final iteration steps, temperature and all considered major and minor species mass fraction profiles are very well predicted by the REDIM reduced calculations.

description: We study an idealised plasma of fermions, coupled through an abelian gauge force $U(1)_X$, and which is asymmetric in that the masses of the oppositely charged species are greatly unequal. The system is dubbed PAAI, plasma asymétrique, abélien et idéalisé. It is argued that due to the ferromagnetic instability that arises, the ground state gives rise to a complex of domain walls. This complex being held together by stresses much stronger than cosmic gravity, does not evolve with the scale factor and along with the heavier oppositely charged partners simulates the required features of Dark Energy with mass scale for the lighter fermions in the micro-eV to nano-eV range. Further, residual $X$-magnetic fields through mixture with standard magnetic fields, can provide the seed for cosmic-scale magnetic fields. Thus the scenario can explain several cosmological puzzles including Dark Energy.

Subjects: subject: Quantum physics

description: The persistent asymmetry between matter and antimatter, alongside foundational quantum mysteries like wave-particle duality and measurement collapse, suggests a deeper unity underlying observable physics. We revisit John Wheeler’s speculative "one-electron universe" hypothesis, proposing a geometric reinterpretation where all electrons and positrons are manifestations of a single, Planck-scale braided worldline in spacetime. By treating antiparticles as time-reversed segments of this worldline and the vacuum as a self-annihilating network of unobserved interactions, we derive quantum phenomena—including double-slit interference and wavefunction collapse—as emergent consequences of the electron’s spacetime topology. This model eliminates the need for extra dimensions or abstract wavefunctions, offering a monistic explanation for quantum mechanics, antimatter rarity, and the arrow of time.

Nanoshape imprint lithography : fabrication and modeling

description: Complex nanoshaped structures have been shown to enable emerging nanoscale applications in energy, electronics, photonics and medicine. Such nanoshaped fabrication at high throughput is well beyond the capabilities of advanced optical lithography. Even the highest resolution electron beam lithography processes (Gaussian beam tools with non-chemically amplified resists) can achieve only ~10nm resolution, but at very low throughputs. In this work, fabrication of precise diamond-like nanoshapes with ~3nm radius corners is demonstrated using nanoimprint lithography. An exemplary shaped silicon nanowire ultracapacitor device was fabricated with these nanoshaped structures, wherein the half pitch was 100nm. The device significantly exceeded standard nanowire capacitor performance (by 90%) due to relative increase in surface area per unit projected area, enabled by the nanoshape. In the process of further scaling these nanoshaped structures to 10nm half pitch and below, a new “shape retention” resolution limit is observed due to polymer relaxation in imprint resists, which cannot be predicted with a linear elastic continuum model. An all-atom molecular dynamics model of the nanoshape structure is developed to study this shape retention phenomenon and accurately predict the polymer relaxation. The atomistic framework has been used as a modeling and design tool to extend the capability of imprint lithography to sub 10nm nanoshapes. This framework can propose process refinements that maximize shape retention, and design template assist features (design for nanoshape retention) to achieve targeted nanoshapes.

description: Existing frameworks to address instances of microaggressions and discrimination in the clinical environment have largely been developed for faculty and resident physicians, creating a lack of resources for medical students. We implemented a workshop to prepare pre-clinical medical/dental students to recognize and respond to microaggressions. Participants in three cohorts from 2018 to 2020 completed pre- and post-workshop surveys assessing the prevalence of exposure to clinical microaggressions and the workshop’s effect on mitigating commonly perceived barriers to addressing microaggressions. Of 461 first-year medical and dental students who participated, 321 (69.6%) provided survey responses. Over 80% of students reported experiencing microaggressions, with women and URM students over-represented. After the workshop, participants reported significant reductions in barriers to addressing microaggressions and discrimination, including recognizing incidents, uncertainty of what to say or do, lack of allies, lack of familiarity with institutional policies, and uncertainty of clinical relevance. The workshop was similarly effective in-person and virtual formats. Most medical/dental student respondents reported experiencing microaggressions in the clinical setting, particularly female and URM students. Our workshop mitigated most perceived challenges to responding to microaggressions. Future interventions across institutions should continue to equip students with the tools they need to address and respond to microaggressions.

description: In a particular variant of Kaluza-Klein theory, the so-called induced-matter theory (IMT), it is shown that any configuration of matter may be geometrically induced from a five-dimensional vacuum space. By using a similar approach we show that any distribution of charges and currents may also be induced from a five-dimensional vacuum space. Whereas in the case of IMT the geometry is Riemannian and the fundamental equations are the five-dimensional Einstein equations in vacuum, here we consider a Minkowskian geometry and the five-dimensional Maxwell equations in vacuum.

N-body + Magnetohydrodynamical Simulations of Merging Clusters of Galaxies: Characteristic Magnetic Field Structures Generated by Bulk Flow Motion
Creators: name: Takizawa, Motokazu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present results from N-body + magnetohydrodynamical simulations of merging clusters of galaxies. We find that cluster mergers cause various characteristic magnetic field structures because of the strong bulk flows in the intracluster medium. The moving substructures result in cool regions surrounded by the magnetic field. These will be recognized as magnetized cold fronts in the observational point of view. A relatively ordered magnetic field structure is generated just behind the moving substructure. Eddy-like field configurations are also formed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. These features are similarly seen even in off-center mergers though the detailed structures change slightly. The above-mentioned characteristic magnetic field structures are partly recognized in Faraday rotation measure maps. The higher absolute values of the rotation measure are expected when observed along the collision axis, because of the elongated density distribution and relatively ordered field structure along the axis. The rotation measure maps on the cosmic microwave background radiation, which covers clusters entirely, could be useful probes of not only the magnetic field structures but also the internal dynamics of the intracluster medium.

description: The insufficiency of annotated medical imaging scans for cancer makes it challenging to train and validate data-hungry deep learning models in precision oncology. We propose a new richer generative adversarial network for free-form 3D tumor/lesion synthesis in computed tomography (CT) images. The network is composed of a new richer convolutional feature enhanced dilated-gated generator (RicherDG) and a hybrid loss function. The RicherDG has dilated-gated convolution layers to enable tumor-painting and to enlarge perceptive fields; and it has a novel richer convolutional feature association branch to recover multi-scale convolutional features especially from uncertain boundaries between tumor and surrounding healthy tissues. The hybrid loss function, which consists of a diverse range of losses, is designed to aggregate complementary information to improve optimization. We perform a comprehensive evaluation of the synthesis results on a wide range of public CT image datasets covering the liver, kidney tumors, and lung nodules. The qualitative and quantitative evaluations and ablation study demonstrated improved synthesizing results over advanced tumor synthesis methods.

description: We study the time evolution of different Laponite suspensions from a low-viscosity ergodic state to a viscoelastic non-ergodic state over a wide range of volume fractions and salt contents. We find that the evolution of non-ergodicity parameter (Debye-Waller factor) splits into two branches for all the samples, which correspond to two distinct dynamically arrested states. At moderately high salt concentrations, on the other hand, a third and new nonergodic state appears that are different from the above two nonergodic states. Measurement of the conductivity of Laponite solutions in pure water shows that the contribution of counterions in the ionic strength is considerable and their role should be taken into account in interpretations of aging dynamics and the phase diagram. Based on these data and available data in the literature, we propose a new (non-equilibrium) phase diagram for Laponite suspensions.

description: Understanding computer system hardware, including how computers operate, is essential for undergraduate students in computer engineering and science. Literature shows students learning computer organization and assembly language often find fundamental concepts difficult to comprehend within the topic materials. Tools have been introduced to improve students comprehension of the interaction between computer architecture, assembly language, and the operating system. One such tool is the Little Man Computer (LMC) model that operates in a way similar to a computer but that is easier to understand. Even though LMC does not have modern CPUs with multiple cores nor executes multiple instructions, it nevertheless shows the basic principles of the von Neumann architecture. LMC aims to introduce students to such concepts as code and instruction sets. In this paper, LMC is used for an additional purpose: a tool with which to experiment using a new modeling language (i.e., a thinging machine; TM) in the area of computer organization and architecture without involving complexity in the subject. That is, the simplicity of LMC facilitates the application of TM without going deep into computer organization/architecture materials. Accordingly, the paper (a) provides a new way for using the LMC model for whatever purpose (e.g., education) and (b) demonstrates that TM can be used to build an abstract level of description in the organization/architect field. The resultant schematics from the TM model of LMC offer an initial case study that supports our thesis that TM is a viable method for hardware/software-independent descriptions in the computer organization and architect field of study.

description: We present the first time-resolved cryogenic observations of Forster energy transfer in large, monodisperse lead sulphide quantum dots with ground state transitions near 1.5 um (0.83 eV), in environments from 160 K to room temperature. The observed temperature-dependent dipole-dipole transfer rate occurs in the range of (30-50 ns)^(-1), measured with our confocal single-photon counting setup at 1.5 um wavelengths. By temperature-tuning the dots, 94% efficiency of resonant energy transfer can be achieved for donor dots. The resonant transfer rates match well with proposed theoretical models.

The size of the anisotropic scattering term is found to scale linearly with $T_c$, establishing a link between the superconducting and normal state physics. Comparison with results from angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy indicates that the transport and quasiparticle lifetimes are distinct.

description: We consider Kac's random walk on $n$-dimensional rotation matrices, where each step is a random rotation in the plane generated by two randomly picked coordinates. We show that this process converges to the Haar measure on $\mathit{SO}(n)$ in the $L^2$ transportation cost (Wasserstein) metric in $O(n^2\ln n)$ steps. We also prove that our bound is at most a $O(\ln n)$ factor away from optimal. Previous bounds, due to Diaconis/Saloff-Coste and Pak/Sidenko, had extra powers of $n$ and held only for $L^1$ transportation cost. Our proof method includes a general result of independent interest, akin to the path coupling method of Bubley and Dyer. Suppose that $P$ is a Markov chain on a Polish length space $(M,d)$ and that for all $x,y\in M$ with $d(x,y)\ll1$ there is a coupling $(X,Y)$ of one step of $P$ from $x$ and $y$ (resp.) that contracts distances by a $(ξ+o(1))$ factor on average. Then the map $μ\mapstoμP$ is $ξ$-contracting in the transportation cost metric.

description: CoRoT, the first space-based transit search, provides ultra-high precision light curves with continuous time-sampling over periods, of up to 5 months. This allows the detection of transiting planets with relatively long periods, and the simultaneous study of the host star's photometric variability. In this letter, we report on the discovery of the transiting giant planet CoRoT-Exo-4b and use the CoRoT light curve to perform a detailed analysis of the transit and to determine the stellar rotation period. The CoRoT light curve was pre-processed to remove outliers and correct for orbital residuals and artefacts due to hot pixels on the detector. After removing stellar variability around each transit, the transit light curve was analysed to determine the transit parameters. A discrete auto-correlation function method was used to derive the rotation period of the star from the out-of-transit light curve. We derive periods for the planet's orbit and star's rotation of 9.20205 +/- 0.00037 and 8.87 +/- 1.12 days respectively, consistent with a synchronised system. We also derive the inclination, i = 90.00 -0.085 +0.000 in degrees, the ratio of the orbital distance to the stellar radius, a/R_s = 17.36 -0.25 +0.05, and the planet to star radius ratio R_p/R_s = 0.1047 -0.0022 +0.0041. We discuss briefly the coincidence between the orbital period of the planet and the stellar rotation period and its possible implications for the system's migration and star-planet interaction history.

description: Icariin (ICA) is a flavonoid glucoside derived from the Epimedium plant genus, which has potent regenerative properties and is used in western medicine to treat impotence. Recently, ICA has generated great interest in improving hepatic stellate cell function and cardiac rejuvenation. However, how this natural component functions in hematopoiesis remains unexplored. Here we have examined the role of ICA on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) using the cancer-prone disease model of Fanconi anemia (FA), an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome with extremely high risk of leukemic predisposition. We show that ICA reverses the less quiescent status of HSCs deficient for the Fanca or Fancd2 gene, and improves the ability of these mutant stem cells to form colony formation units (CFU) in vitro and reconstitutes hematopoiesis in transplanted recipients. Further analysis reveals that ICA upregulates enzyme activity of the chromatin binding protein SIRT6 in Fanca−/− and Fancd2−/− HSCs, both of which have an intrinsic low SIRT6 activity. Furthermore, forced expression of SIRT6 blocks the natural decline of quiescent HSCs in Fanca−/− or Fancd2−/− mice and improves the repopulating capacity of these mutant HSCs in irradiated recipients. Mechanistically, ICA enhances SIRT6-mediated H3K9 deacetylation on the promoter of NF-κB and represses the expression of NF-κB target genes. Together, our findings indicate that ICA improves the function of HSCs by stimulating SIRT6 activity and contributes to the regenerative effect of ICA.

An exploration of such scenarios is presented, considering final states with missing transverse momentum and $b$-tagged jets consistent with a Higgs boson. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC during Run 2, amounting to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$. The analysis, when compared with previous searches, benefits from a larger dataset, but also has further improvements providing sensitivity to a wider spectrum of signal scenarios. These improvements include both an optimised event selection and advances in the object identification, such as the use of the likelihood-based significance of the missing transverse momentum and variable-radius track-jets. No significant deviation from Standard Model expectations is observed. Limits are set, at 95% confidence level, in two benchmark models with two Higgs doublets extended by either a heavy vector boson $Z'$ or a pseudoscalar singlet $a$ and which both provide a dark matter candidate $χ$. In the case of the two-Higgs-doublet model with an additional vector boson $Z'$, the observed limits extend up to a $Z'$ mass of 3 TeV for a mass of 100 GeV for the dark matter candidate. The two-Higgs-doublet model with a dark matter particle mass of 10 GeV and an additional pseudoscalar $a$ is excluded for masses of the $a$ up to 520 GeV and 240 GeV for $\tan β= 1$ and $\tan β= 10$ respectively. Limits on the visible cross-sections are set and range from 0.05 fb to 3.26 fb, depending on the missing transverse momentum and $b$-quark jet multiplicity requirements.

description: As the use of algorithmic systems in high-stakes decision-making increases, the ability to contest algorithmic decisions is being recognised as an important safeguard for individuals. Yet, there is little guidance on what `contestability'--the ability to contest decisions--in relation to algorithmic decision-making requires. Recent research presents different conceptualisations of contestability in algorithmic decision-making. We contribute to this growing body of work by describing and analysing the perspectives of people and organisations who made submissions in response to Australia's proposed `AI Ethics Framework', the first framework of its kind to include `contestability' as a core ethical principle. Our findings reveal that while the nature of contestability is disputed, it is seen as a way to protect individuals, and it resembles contestability in relation to human decision-making. We reflect on and discuss the implications of these findings.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which secondary students in the Arts and Sciences programme procrastinate on school work, the extent to which these students perceive procrastination as a problem which they would like to change and the extent to which procrastination affects academic achievement. The study also sought to discover differences in procrastination related to gender and grade. Furthermore, this study assessed cognitions related to procrastination. Positive and negative self-statements were examined to determine whether high and low procrastinators endorse particular types of cognitive themes. The Procrastination Self-Statement Inventory was administered to 204 Arts and Sciences students from two secondary schools in a suburban/rural community in British Columbia. Part A of the inventory asked students to respond to 41 positive and negative self-statements. Part B asked students to respond to 12 questions about study habits and was used to determine a Procrastination Score for each student. Demographic data pertaining to gender, grade, age, academic achievement and future plans were also collected. Data about the extent of procrastination among secondary students and the degree to which students see this as a problem which they would like to change were examined using descriptive statistics. Inferential statistics were used to test eight hypotheses. Analyses of variance determined the statistically significant differences between the means of specified groups on certain variables. The results of the study confirm that secondary students in the Arts and Sciences programme do procrastinate on academic tasks and do see this as a problem that they would like to change. Results also indicate that there are no significant differences in the extent of procrastination among males and females but that there are differences related to grade level. However, a trend in procrastination related to length of time spent in school was not evident. Furthermore, the results confirm that procrastination has a negative impact on academic achievement. Finally, the results of the study suggest that low procrastinators endorse positive self-statements more than do high procrastinators and that high procrastinators endorse negative self-statements more than do low procrastinators. The low procrast1nators in the sample endorsed the following subscales: Facilitative Planfulness, Work Facilitative Items and Perfectionism. High procrastinators endorsed these subscales: Negativistic Intolerance, Immobilizing Mood, Low Self-Competence, Unrealistic Planning, Low Self-Control, Risktaking and Low Self-Esteem. Significant gender effects were found on the Risktaking subscale while significant grade effects were found on the Perfectionism subscale.

description: During a 2018 outburst, the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 was comprehensively monitored at multiple wavelengths as it underwent a hard to soft state transition. During this transition a rapid evolution in X-ray timing properties and a short-lived radio flare were observed, both of which were linked to the launching of bi-polar, long-lived relativistic ejecta. We provide detailed analysis of two Very Long Baseline Array observations, using both time binning and a new dynamic phase centre tracking technique to mitigate the effects of smearing when observing fast-moving ejecta at high angular resolution. We identify a second, earlier ejection, with a lower proper motion of $18.0\pm1.1$ mas day$^{-1}$. This new jet knot was ejected $4\pm1$ hours before the beginning of the rise of the radio flare, and $2\pm1$ hours before a switch from type-C to type-B X-ray quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). We show that this jet was ejected over a period of $\sim6$ hours and thus its ejection was contemporaneous with the QPO transition. Our new technique locates the original, faster ejection in an observation in which it was previously undetected. With this detection we revised the fits to the proper motions of the ejecta and calculated a jet inclination angle of $(64\pm5)^\circ$, and jet velocities of $0.97_{-0.09}^{+0.03}c$ for the fast-moving ejecta ($Γ>2.1$) and $(0.30\pm0.05)c$ for the newly-identified slow-moving ejection ($Γ=1.05\pm0.02$). We show that the approaching slow-moving component is predominantly responsible for the radio flare, and is likely linked to the switch from type-C to type-B QPOs, while no definitive signature of ejection was identified for the fast-moving ejecta.

description: Macro-level discourses on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) firmly establish China as the sole agent in driving infrastructure development. This article contends that often obscured from view by the discourses on China’s dominance are the host country authorities’ exercising of agency in infrastructure development under their own jurisdiction. The paper focuses on the actions of the local host country authorities in developing an infrastructure megaproject as a part of the BRI in northern Myanmar’s Kachin State. Currently under suspension, the Myitkyina Economic Development Zone (MEDZ, also known as Namjin Industrial Zone) would make an ambitious spatial intervention with wider implications and risks. The paper scrutinizes the ‘strategies’ by the local authorities in 2019-2020 in their attempts to move the project forward covertly. These include exploiting the project’s designation as an economic developing zone to conceal its scale and the inclusion of a major urban development, lack of transparency, and alleged abuse of power.

description: We present a general technique for garbage collecting old versions for multiversion concurrency control that simultaneously achieves good time and space complexity. Our technique takes only $O(1)$ time on average to reclaim each version and maintains only a constant factor more versions than needed (plus an additive term). It is designed for multiversion schemes using version lists, which are the most common. Our approach uses two components that are of independent interest. First, we define a novel range-tracking data structure which stores a set of old versions and efficiently finds those that are no longer needed. We provide a wait-free implementation in which all operations take amortized constant time. Second, we represent version lists using a new lock-free doubly-linked list algorithm that supports efficient (amortized constant time) removals given a pointer to any node in the list. These two components naturally fit together to solve the multiversion garbage collection problem--the range-tracker identifies which versions to remove and our list algorithm can then be used to remove them from their version lists. We apply our garbage collection technique to generate end-to-end time and space bounds for the multiversioning system of Wei et al. (PPoPP 2021).

The experience of job insecurity for women university graduates in temporary and contract jobs in Vancouver
Creators: name: Earnshaw, A. P. Russell
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Field research was used to document the psychological and contextual experience of job insecurity for 15 graduate women in jobs with limited tenure and protection. Single, hour-long, intensive focused interviews were used, employing a projective technique. Transcripts of taped interviews were analyzed for factors associated with positive and negative emotional shifts. Factors were categorized and grouped into domains, which included: the nature of the subjects' job insecurity; effects on work performance, work relations, emotional and physical health, finances, leisure, and, personal and family life. The experience was shown to fit a transition model of loss and adaption to change. Major stressors were uncertainty, financial fears, pressure to perform, loss of trust, job search and career fears. Typical cognitions included: self doubt; feeling unappreciated, disillusioned, powerless and isolated. Cynicism and feeling compromised were less common reactions. Work relations, and work performance were generally adversely affected as were leisure activities and family life. Financial retrenchment was common. All subjects reported stress and anxiety; some reported depressive symptoms. Thirteen coping strategies were identified. Cognitive coping was prominent, in particular, denial-like processes used to maintain optimism. "Good coping" and "poor coping" profiles were developed from the data.
