description: Der Beitrag nimmt Personen in den Blick, die in der Zwischenkriegszeit internationalen Organisationen zugeordnet waren und Kontakte zum Sekretariat des Völkerbunds pflegten. Diese höchst heterogene Gruppe ist der methodologische Ausgangspunkt für die kritische Analyse der Figur des Fremden; sie werden als politische Eliten, international tätige Experten, Internationalisten und global agierende Illusionisten charakterisiert. Die Karriereverläufe dieser auf den ersten Blick entweder unscheinbaren oder untypischen Biographien folgten spezifischen sozialen Mustern, die allerdings nur mit einer Methodologie sichtbar werden, die eindeutige kategoriale Zuschreibungen von Zugehörigkeit und Differenzierung vermeidet. Stattdessen ermöglicht eine am methodischen und analytischen Instrumentarium des new cosmopolitanism und der transkulturellen Geschichte geschulte historische Analyse einen neuen Zugang: Das Überschreiten von sozialen, kulturellen und politischen Grenzen wird als sozial konstitutiver und regelsetzender Akt sichtbar. In dieser Lesart erscheinen die jeweils unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen und die wechselnde Bedeutung von Territorialität, Performativität und transkultureller Verflechtung als Referenzpunkte, welche die sozialen und politischen Rahmenbedingungen transgressiver Biographien im Umfeld des Völkerbunds zu verstehen erlauben.

description: There exist conflicting observations on whether or not the environment of broad and narrow line AGN differ and this consequently questions the validity of the AGN unification model. The high spectroscopic completeness of the GAMA survey makes it ideal for a comprehensive analysis of the close environment of galaxies. To exploit this, and conduct a comparative analysis of the environment of broad and narrow line AGN within GAMA, we use a double-Gaussian emission line fitting method to model the more complex line profiles associated with broad line AGN. We select 209 type 1 (i.e., unobscured), 464 type 1.5-1.9 (partially obscured), and 281 type 2 (obscured) AGN within the GAMA II database. Comparing the fractions of these with neighbouring galaxies out to a pair separation of $350\,\text{kpc }h^{-1}$ and $Δz < 0.012$ shows no difference between AGN of different type, except at separations less than $20\,\text{kpc }h^{-1}$ where our observations suggest an excess of type 2 AGN in close pairs. We analyse the properties of the galaxies neighbouring our AGN and find no significant differences in colour or the star formation activity of these galaxies. Further to this we find that $Σ_5$ is also consistent between broad and narrow line AGN. We conclude that the observations presented here are consistent with AGN unification.

description: The band offsets between crystalline and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) are key parameters governing the charge transport in modern silicon hetrojunction solar cells. They are an important input for macroscopic simulators that are used to further optimize the solar cell. Past experimental studies, using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and capacitance-voltage measurements, have yielded conflicting results on the band offset. Here we present a computational study on the band offsets. It is based on atomistic models and density-functional theory (DFT). The amorphous part of the interface is obtained by relatively long DFT first-principles molecular-dynamics (MD) runs at an elevated temperature on 30 statistically independent samples. In order to obtain a realistic conduction band position the electronic structure of the interface is calculated with a hybrid functional. We find a slight asymmetry in the band offsets, where the offset in the valence band (0.30 eV) is larger than in the conduction band (0.17 eV). Our results are in agreement with the latest XPS measurements that report a valence band offset of 0.3 eV [M. Liebhaber et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 106, 031601 (2015)].

description: Der Aufsatz analysiert am Beispiel des neuseeländischen Völkerbundbeamten und späteren Diplomaten Joseph Vivian Wilson die Karrieremöglichkeiten, die der Völkerbund seinen Angestellten bot. Wilson strebte in den 1920er Jahren zunächst die Laufbahn eines Diplomaten an. Dieser Karriereweg war auf Grund seiner Herkunft aus einem Dominion innerhalb des Britischen Empire nur eingeschränkt möglich, weswegen er sich gegen einen Eintritt ins britische Foreign Office entschied. Der Autor argumentiert, dass der Völkerbund für Wilson eine Chance bot, um Hindernisse in seinem beruflichen Werdegang zu umgehen und seinen Aufstieg voranzutreiben. Der Völkerbund erlaubte einerseits eine quasi-diplomatische Tätigkeit und bot andererseits neue Möglichkeiten einer erfolgreichen Karriere in einem internationalen Umfeld. Die mikrohistorische Analyse von Wilsons Werdegang zeigt damit die Relevanz persönlicher Netzwerke innerhalb internationaler Sekretariate. Der Artikel schlägt vor, die Karriere von Wilson als eine freiwillig gewählte Form einer globalen Biographie einzustufen - eine Biographie, für die das Überschreiten von Grenzen nicht nur Nebenprodukt, sondern distinktes Charakteristikum ist.

description: Der Beitrag diskutiert grenzüberschreitende Aktivitäten und transnationale Biographien in der mandschurischen Stadt Harbin in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die an einem Eisenbahnknoten im Nordosten Chinas entstandene Stadt Harbin entwickelte sich binnen weniger Jahre von einer russischen Kolonie zu einer von vielfältigen globalen und transkulturellen Verflechtungen geprägten kosmopolitischen Stadt. Aufgrund ihrer Attraktivität für den internationalen Handel war die boomende Stadt im „wilden“ Fernen Osten auch für Abenteurer, halbseidene Figuren und Kriminelle ein Magnet. Dabei schufen die komplexen administrativen Strukturen und rechtlichen Grauzonen einer von zahlreichen Machtwechseln gekennzeichneten internationalen Stadt vielfältige Räume für halblegale und illegale Aktivitäten aller Art. In den globalen und kosmopolitischen Räumen, die Harbin bot, konnten sich besonders solche Akteure erfolgreich bewegen, die über ein transkulturelles Know-how verfügten und in transnationalen Kontexten zu agieren verstanden. Dieser Untersuchung liegen drei Fallstudien von grenzüberschreitenden Akteuren auf der „dunklen“ Seite der Harbiner Gesellschaft zugrunde, darunter die eines Zuhälterpaars, eines Spielcasino-Betreibers sowie eines transnationalen Netzwerks von Opium-Schmugglern.

description: Anhand des britischen Journalisten William T. Stead analysiert der Artikel grenzübergreifende Strategien der Einflussnahme auf diplomatische Praktiken vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Stead ist heute vor allem wegen seiner Enthüllungen sozialer und politischer Skandale im viktorianischen England bekannt. Er selbst stellte aber seit den 890er Jahren zunehmend die Lobbyarbeit für Friedensthemen und Internationalismus ins Zentrum seiner Aktivitäten. Mit lautstarken öffentlichen Aktionen versuchte der überzeugte Imperialist und Pazifist, weltweite Aufmerksamkeit auf das Problem der Friedenssicherung und Völkerverständigung zu lenken. Der Artikel schlägt vor, Steads Friedensaktivitäten im Rahmen seiner „transgressiven” Arbeitsweise zu interpretieren. Auf diese Weise wird der Blick auf Steads kontinuierliche und öffentliche Übertretung sozialer Normen gerichtet. Seine verschiedenartigen Grenzüberschreitungen werden als Strategie interpretiert, um möglichst große internationale Aufmerksamkeit auf transnationale Einflusssphären zu lenken und die staatenzentrierten, öffentlichkeitsfernen Verfahrensweisen der internationalen Beziehungen zu delegitimieren. Der Artikel rückt insbesondere Steads publizistische Aktivitäten anlässlich der beiden Haager Friedenskonferenzen 899 und 907 in den Mittelpunkt. Die Analyse der inoffiziellen Konferenzzeitung Courrier de la Conférence de la Paix wirft hierbei ein Schlaglicht nicht nur auf Versuche zivilgesellschaftlicher Einflussnahmen auf internationale Verhandlungen, sondern auch auf die Transformation einer Diplomatie, die zunehmend unter dem Druck technischer Neuerungen und öffentlicher Interessen stand.

description: We investigate prospects for the detection of high-energy neutrinos produced in the prolonged jets of short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs). The X-ray lightcurves of sGRBs show extended emission components lasting for 100-1000 seconds, which are considered to be produced by prolonged engine activity. Jets by prolonged engine activity should interact with photons in the cocoon formed by the jet propagation inside the ejecta of neutron star mergers. We calculate neutrino emission from jets by prolonged engine activity, taking account of the interaction between photons provided from the cocoon and cosmic rays accelerated in the jets. We find that IceCube-Gen2, a future neutrino telescope, with the second-generation gravitational wave detectors will probably be able to observe neutrino signals associated with gravitational waves with around 10 years of operation, regardless of the assumed value of the Lorentz factor of the jets. Neutrino observations may enable us to constrain the dissipation region of the jets. We apply this model to GRB 211211A, a peculiar long GRB whose origin may be a binary neutron-star merger. Our model predicts that IceCube is unlikely to detect any associated neutrino, but a few similar events will be able to put a meaningful constraint on the physical quantities of the prolonged engine activities.

description: In the plethora of fragments of Halpern and Shoham's modal logic of time intervals (HS), the logic AB of Allen's relations Meets and Started-by is at a central position. Statements that may be true at certain intervals, but at no sub-interval of them, such as accomplishments, as well as metric constraints about the length of intervals, that force, for instance, an interval to be at least (resp., at most, exactly) k points long, can be expressed in AB. Moreover, over the linear order of the natural numbers N, it subsumes the (point-based) logic LTL, as it can easily encode the next and until modalities. Finally, it is expressive enough to capture the ω-regular languages, that is, for each ω-regular expression R there exists an AB formula ϕ such that the language defined by R coincides with the set of models of ϕ over N. It has been shown that the satisfiability problem for AB over N is EXPSPACE-complete. Here we prove that, under the homogeneity assumption, its model checking problem is Δ^p_2 = P^NP-complete (for the sake of comparison, the model checking problem for full HS is EXPSPACE-hard, and the only known decision procedure is nonelementary). Moreover, we show that the modality for the Allen relation Met-by can be added to AB at no extra cost (AA'B is P^NP-complete as well).

description: To operate safely and efficiently alongside human workers, collaborative robots (cobots) require the ability to quickly understand the dynamics of manipulated objects. However, traditional methods for estimating the full set of inertial parameters rely on motions that are necessarily fast and unsafe (to achieve a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio). In this work, we take an alternative approach: by combining visual and force-torque measurements, we develop an inertial parameter identification algorithm that requires slow or 'stop-and-go' motions only, and hence is ideally tailored for use around humans. Our technique, called Homogeneous Part Segmentation (HPS), leverages the observation that man-made objects are often composed of distinct, homogeneous parts. We combine a surface-based point clustering method with a volumetric shape segmentation algorithm to quickly produce a part-level segmentation of a manipulated object; the segmented representation is then used by HPS to accurately estimate the object's inertial parameters. To benchmark our algorithm, we create and utilize a novel dataset consisting of realistic meshes, segmented point clouds, and inertial parameters for 20 common workshop tools. Finally, we demonstrate the real-world performance and accuracy of HPS by performing an intricate 'hammer balancing act' autonomously and online with a low-cost collaborative robotic arm. Our code and dataset are open source and freely available.

description: In the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, CP violation arises through a very particular interplay between the three quark generations, as described by the Cabibbo--Kobayashi--Maskawa (CKM) mechanism and the single Jarlskog invariant $J_4$. Once generalized to the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), this peculiar pattern gets modified by higher-dimensional operators, whose associated Wilson coefficients are usually split into CP-even and odd parts. However, CP violation at dimension four, i.e., at the lowest order in the EFT expansion, blurs this distinction: any Wilson coefficient can interfere with $J_4$ and mediate CP violation. In this paper, we study such interferences at first order in the SMEFT expansion, $\mathcal{O}(1/Λ^2)$, and we capture their associated parameter space via a set of 1551 linear CP-odd flavor invariants. This construction describes both new, genuinely CP-violating quantities as well as the interference between $J_4$ and CP-conserving ones. We call this latter possibility \textit{opportunistic CP violation}. Relying on an appropriate extension of the matrix rank to Taylor expansions, which we dub \emph{Taylor rank}, we define a procedure to organize the invariants in terms of their magnitude, so as to retain only the relevant ones at a given precision. We explore how this characterization changes when different assumptions are made on the flavor structure of the SMEFT coefficients. Interestingly, some of the CP-odd invariants turn out to be less suppressed than $J_4$, even when they capture opportunistic CPV, demonstrating that CP-violation in the SM, at dimension 4, is \textit{accidentally small.}

description: Coherence, the stability of the relative phase between quantum states, lies at the heart of quantum mechanics. Applications such as precision measurement, interferometry, and quantum computation are enabled by physical systems that have quantum states with robust coherence. With the creation of molecular ensembles at sub-$μ$K temperatures, diatomic molecules have become a novel system under full quantum control. Here, we report on the observation of stable coherence between a pair of nuclear spin states of ultracold fermionic NaK molecules in the singlet rovibrational ground state. Employing microwave fields, we perform Ramsey spectroscopy and observe coherence times on the scale of one second. This work opens the door for the exploration of single molecules as a versatile quantum memory. Switchable long-range interactions between dipolar molecules can further enable two-qubit gates, allowing quantum storage and processing in the same physical system. Within the observed coherence time, $10^4$ one- and two-qubit gate operations will be feasible.

description: Modal logic is a paradigm for several useful and applicable formal systems in computer science. It generally retains the low complexity of classical propositional logic, but notable exceptions exist in the domains of description, temporal, and spatial logic, where the most expressive formalisms have a very high complexity or are even undecidable. In search of computationally well-behaved fragments, clausal forms and other sub-propositional restrictions of temporal and description logics have been recently studied. This renewed interest on sub-propositional logics, which mainly focus on the complexity of the various fragments, raise natural questions on their the relative expressive power, which we try to answer here for the basic multi-modal logic Kn. We consider the Horn and the Krom restrictions, as well as the combined restriction (known as the core fragment) of modal logic, and, orthogonally, the fragments that emerge by disallowing boxes or diamonds from positive literals. We study the problem in a very general setting, to ease transferring our results to other meaningful cases.

description: Currently decision making is one of the biggest challenges in autonomous driving. This paper introduces a method for safely navigating an autonomous vehicle in highway scenarios by combining deep Q-Networks and insight from control theory. A Deep Q-Network is trained in simulation to serve as a central decision-making unit by proposing targets for a trajectory planner. The generated trajectories in combination with a controller for longitudinal movement are used to execute lane change maneuvers. In order to prove the functionality of this approach it is evaluated on two different highway traffic scenarios. Furthermore, the impact of different state representations on the performance and training process is analyzed. The results show that the proposed system can produce efficient and safe driving behavior.

description: Dense, robust and real-time computation of depth information from stereo-camera systems is a computationally demanding requirement for robotics, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. Semi-Global Matching (SGM) is a widely used algorithm that propagates consistency constraints along several paths across the image. This work presents a real-time system producing reliable disparity estimation results on the new embedded energy-efficient GPU devices. Our design runs on a Tegra X1 at 42 frames per second (fps) for an image size of 640x480, 128 disparity levels, and using 4 path directions for the SGM method.
Twin Theories, Polytope Mutations and Quivers for GTPs

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

description: We propose a unified perspective on two sets of objects that usually arise in the study of bipartite field theories. Each of the sets consists of a polytope, or equivalently a toric Calabi-Yau, and a quiver theory. We refer to the two sets of objects as original and twin. In the simplest cases, the two sides of the correspondence are connected by the graph operation known as untwisting. The democratic treatment that we advocate raises new questions regarding the connections between these objects, some of which we explore. With this motivation in mind, we establish a correspondence between the mutations of the original polytope and the twin quiver. This leads us to propose that non-toric twin quivers are naturally associated to generalized toric polygons (GTPs) and we explore various aspects of this idea. Supporting evidence includes global symmetries, the ability of twin quivers to encode the generalized $s$-rule, and the connection between the mutations of polytopes and of configurations of webs of 5-branes suspended from 7-branes. We introduce three methods for constructing twin quivers for GTPs. We also investigate the connection between twin quivers obtained using different toric phases. Twin quivers provide a powerful new perspective on GTPs. The ideas presented in this paper may represent a step towards the generalization of brane tilings to GTPs.

title: A Study of Social Network Interactions amongst Women with Dysthymia
Creators: name: Baines, Lyndsay S.
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2001

description: The aim of this work was to study the higher incidence of dysthymia amongst women and to further explore the theory of gender inequality from the point of the sufferer's difference to other women. This is in contrast to the majority of health studies which have considered women as a homogenous group with little regard for individual characteristic differences. The thesis considered, `What are the mental health implications of women socialised to be different to men, but the same as other women, in a male dominated society?' Four women (21-49 years) with a diagnosis of dysthymia receiving psychodynamic short-term psychotherapy (as out-patients) were subjected to four semi-structured interviews, that ran concurrent to, but without collaboration with, their psychotherapeutic treatment. Social network graphs were compiled to produce a systematic account of how women differentiated themselves from each other within their social networks and to determine whether these individual differences could be developed as independent variables with regards the onset, maintenance and recovery from dysthymia. Data was compiled into a series of exploratory case studies and discussed in relationship to social network constellations. The emerging patterns of social interactions between social network members were then matched to feminist theory. The findings suggested that respondents' were socialised by their mothers to be stereotypical men within the context of highly dense, isolated and achievement orientated social networks. These social networks served to equate both mother and respondent with male power and differentiated them from other women. The subsequent social isolation and their ability to live up to their mother's ambitions for them generated loss and anxiety associated with dysthymia (Arieti & Bemporad, 1978). Recovery from dysthymia was directly related to the formulation of secondary and previously unidentified independent `weblet' constellations, that simultaneously reinforced respondents similarities to other women while accommodating their individual characteristic differences.

description: We construct spectral sequences for computing the cohomology of automorphism groups of formal groups with complex multiplication by a $p$-adic number ring. We then compute the cohomology of the group of automorphisms of a height four formal group law which commute with complex multiplication by the ring of integers in the field $\mathbb{Q}_p(\sqrt{p})$, for primes $p>5$. This is a large subgroup of the height four strict Morava stabilizer group. The group cohomology of this group of automorphisms turns out to have cohomological dimension $8$ and total rank $80$. We then run the $K(4)$-local $E_4$-Adams spectral sequence to compute the homotopy groups of the homotopy fixed-point spectrum of this group's action on the Lubin-Tate/Morava spectrum $E_4$.

description: A complete understanding of the statistics of the work done by quenching a parameter of a quantum many-body system is still lacking in the presence of an initial quantum coherence in the energy basis. In this case, the work can be represented by a class of quasiprobability distributions. Here, we try to clarify the genuinely quantum features of the process by studying the work quasiprobability for an Ising model in a transverse field. We consider both a global and a local quench, by focusing mainly on the thermodynamic limit. We find that, while for a global quench there is a symmetric non-contextual representation with a Gaussian probability distribution of work, for a local quench we can get quantum contextuality as signaled by a negative fourth moment of the work. Furthermore, we examine the critical features related to a quantum phase transition and the role of the initial quantum coherence as useful resource.

description: SABIO-RK (http://sabiork.h-its.org) is a web-accessible, manually curated database for biochemical reactions and their kinetic properties with the focus on both supporting the computational modelling to create models of biochemical reaction networks and allowing experimentalists to gain further knowledge about enzymatic activities and reaction properties. SABIO-RK contains annotations to controlled vocabularies and ontologies and is highly interlinked with different other databases and integrated in the data workflow of several modelling and simulation tools. A flexible way of exporting database search results using web services or in a table-like format is provided. Both the export and the import of data are possible via standard data exchange formats. Data in SABIO-RK are mainly manually extracted from literature but could also be uploaded directly from laboratories or other resources via SBML.
As part of the data management node de.NBI-SysBio within de.NBI (German Network of Bioinformatics Infrastructure) / ELIXIR-Germany our mission is to provide a couple of free of charge services including the manual extraction of kinetics data from the literature upon user requests. The service offers for example literature search for specific organisms or pathways and information extraction which comprises data like kinetic parameters, kinetic law types, reactions, organisms, tissues, enzyme/protein properties and experimental conditions.

One slice of our prototype accelerator is capable of handling up to 1TB of data, and experiments show that it can outperform C/C++ software solutions on a 16-core system at a fraction of the power and cost; an optimized version of the accelerator can match the performance of a 48-core server.

The analytical results have undergone comprehensive quality assurance and quality control and are internally consistent and in line with typical worldwide element concentration ranges for soils. Most elements have all or most measured values above their lower method detection limit, and these elements show variation across the survey area consistent with both an anthropogenic (in particular for As, Cd, Pb, S, P) and geogenic influence. A reference split of each <2 mm sieved sample has been retained for future use, where possible. The results are presented as a series of interpolated plots using inverse distance weighted and Kriging methods, as well as plots of soil element concentration by geological subdivision and a plot of cumulative distribution function, which shows the data distribution. There are five unique plots per element and 325 unique plots in total, providing a wealth of new information regarding near-surface chemical variation across Aotearoa New Zealand. The new plots reveal a first-order geological control on Aotearoa New Zealand soil element chemistry. Of particular importance to soil element concentrations are basement terrane type, metamorphic grade and the presence of volcanic rocks such as in the Taupo Volcanic Zone. Chemical differences are marked where there is a juxtaposition of lithologies, for example, around the Alpine Fault in the northern Te Waipounamu South Island. These rocks have also contributed through their erosion to the soil element concentration of many downstream alluvial sediment sites (auths)

description: Digital twins have been emerging as a hybrid approach that combines the benefits of simulators with the realism of experimental testbeds. The accurate and repeatable set-ups replicating the dynamic conditions of physical environments, enable digital twins of wireless networks to be used to evaluate the performance of next-generation networks. In this paper, we propose the Position-based Machine Learning Propagation Loss Model (P-MLPL), enabling the creation of fast and more precise digital twins of wireless networks in ns-3. Based on network traces collected in an experimental testbed, the P-MLPL model estimates the propagation loss suffered by packets exchanged between a transmitter and a receiver, considering the absolute node's positions and the traffic direction. The P-MLPL model is validated with a test suite. The results show that the P-MLPL model can predict the propagation loss with a median error of 2.5 dB, which corresponds to 0.5x the error of existing models in ns-3. Moreover, ns-3 simulations with the P-MLPL model estimated the throughput with an error up to 2.5 Mbit/s, when compared to the real values measured in the testbed.

description: Knowledge on nuclear cluster physics has increased considerably since the pioneering discovery of 12C+12C resonances half a century ago and nuclear clustering remains one of the most fruitful domains of nuclear physics, facing some of the greatest challenges and opportunities in the years ahead. The occurrence of "exotic" shapes and/or Bose-Einstein alpha condensates in light N-Z alpha-conjugate nuclei is investigated. Evolution of clustering from stability to the drip-lines examined with clustering aspects persisting in light neutron-rich nuclei is consistent with the extension of the "Ikeda-diagram" to non alpha-conjugate nuclei.

title: Culture and Citizenship: A case study of practice in the BBC
Creators: name: Pawley, Laurence
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2010

description: This thesis constitutes a critique of current citizenship theory, focussed on the ways in which various definitions of `culture' have gained recognition as part of citizenship's theoretical terrain. Through a qualitative case study of practice within the BBC, the thesis reflects on the limitations and potentialities of current scholarship, and suggests how a pragmatic cultural citizenship might offer a way forward. The thesis begins through an engagement with existing literature which produces distinct `models' of citizenship: liberal, liberal cosmopolitan, multi-cultural, and `deep cultural'. These models function as a conceptual `toolkit', and the following chapter demonstrates how, via public sphere theory, they can be applied to understand the relationship between communicative institutions and citizens. The relationship between citizenship theory and media practice is thereby made explicit, laying the foundations for subsequent empirical work. The empirical chapters take the form of a qualitative case study of policy and practice in the BBC. This begins with a brief analysis of the institution's policy history with respect to citizenship, and subsequently focuses on the 2006 broadcast Manchester Passion. The case study reveals how policy relating to issues including identity and participation was implemented at the micro-level. In doing so, the thesis explores how which different conceptualisations of citizenship function in concert with practical `logics' (including economy, cultural difference, and genre). Building on this analysis, the thesis concludes by suggesting that the BBC's practice was most effective when it adopted a pragmatic approach to cultural conflicts. This argument (described in terms of `cultural balance') is mapped back onto the models developed earlier in the theses, and used to propose that citizenship theory should seek to reimagine itself on a more fluid basis; one that recognises that citizenship is inevitably realised in socially and culturally specific circumstances.

description: The AVIVA model of teaching and learning was first presented in a book by Christoph Städeli and his colleagues, published in German in 2010 (Städeli, Grassi, Rhiner, & Obrist, 2010). Since then, the model has received considerable attention from those involved in the field of teacher education and training in Switzerland and other German-speaking countries. Interest has also grown in non-German speaking countries, particularly amongst teacher trainers, policy makers and other experts working in the field of vocational education and training (VET). It is for this reason that we decided to publish this book on AVIVA in English.

description: By combining two objects with no quantum effect one can get an object with quantum effect. Such a phenomenon, often referred to as activation has been analyzed for the notion of steering nonlocality. Activation of steering nonlocality is observed for different classes of mixed entangled states in linear network scenarios. Characterization of arbitrary two qubit states, in ambit of steering activation in network scenarios has been provided in this context. Using the notion of reduced steering, instances of steerability activation are also observed in nonlinear network. Present analysis involves three measurement settings scenario(for both trusted and untrusted parties) where steering nonlocality is distinguishable from Bell nonlocality.

Alternation Is Strict For Higher-Order Modal Fixpoint Logic

description: We study the expressive power of Alternating Parity Krivine Automata (APKA), which provide operational semantics to Higher-Order Modal Fixpoint Logic (HFL). APKA consist of ordinary parity automata extended by a variation of the Krivine Abstract Machine. We show that the number and parity of priorities available to an APKA form a proper hierarchy of expressive power as in the modal mu-calculus. This also induces a strict alternation hierarchy on HFL. The proof follows Arnold's (1999) encoding of runs into trees and subsequent use of the Banach Fixpoint Theorem.

description: Recent advances in equivariant graph neural networks (GNNs) have made deep learning amenable to developing fast surrogate models to expensive ab initio quantum mechanics (QM) approaches for molecular potential predictions. However, building accurate and transferable potential models using GNNs remains challenging, as the data is greatly limited by the expensive computational costs and level of theory of QM methods, especially for large and complex molecular systems. In this work, we propose denoise pretraining on nonequilibrium molecular conformations to achieve more accurate and transferable GNN potential predictions. Specifically, atomic coordinates of sampled nonequilibrium conformations are perturbed by random noises and GNNs are pretrained to denoise the perturbed molecular conformations which recovers the original coordinates. Rigorous experiments on multiple benchmarks reveal that pretraining significantly improves the accuracy of neural potentials. Furthermore, we show that the proposed pretraining approach is model-agnostic, as it improves the performance of different invariant and equivariant GNNs. Notably, our models pretrained on small molecules demonstrate remarkable transferability, improving performance when fine-tuned on diverse molecular systems, including different elements, charged molecules, biomolecules, and larger systems. These results highlight the potential for leveraging denoise pretraining approaches to build more generalizable neural potentials for complex molecular systems.

description: The recently-introduced Topological Heavy Fermion (THF) model [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 047601] of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) aims to reconcile the quantum-dot-like electronic structure of the latter observed by scanning tunneling microscopy, with its electron delocalization seen in transport measurements. The THF model achieves this by coupling localized (heavy) fermions with anomalous conduction electrons. Originally, the parameters of the THF model were obtained numerically from the Bistritzer-Macdonald (BM) model of TBG [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 047601]. In this work, we derive analytical expressions for the THF model parameters as a function of the twist angle, the ratio between the tunneling amplitudes at the $AA$ and $AB$ regions ($w_0 / w_1$), and the screening length of the interaction potential. By numerically computing the THF model parameters across an extensive experimentally-relevant parameter space, we show that the resulting approximations are remarkably good, i.e. within the 30% relative error for almost the entire parameter space. At the single-particle level, the THF model accurately captures the energy spectrum of the BM model over a large phase space of angles and tunneling amplitude ratios. When interactions are included, we also show that the THF description of TBG is good around the magic angle for realistic values of the tunneling amplitude ratios ($0.6 \leq w_0/w_1 \leq 1.0$), for which the hybridization between the localized and conduction fermions $γ$ is smaller than the onsite repulsion of the heavy fermions $U_1$ (i.e. $|γ| < U_1$).
