description: We study a notion of "width" for Jordan curves in $\mathbb{CP}^1$, paying special attention to the class of quasicircles. The width of a Jordan curve is defined in terms of the geometry of its convex hull in hyperbolic three-space. A similar invariant in the setting of anti de Sitter geometry was used by Bonsante-Schlenker to characterize quasicircles amongst a larger class of Jordan curves in the boundary of anti de Sitter space. By contrast to the AdS setting, we show that there are Jordan curves of bounded width which fail to be quasicircles. However, we show that Jordan curves with small width are quasicircles.

description: Myanmar faces a set of well-known challenges and problems, both in the overall economy and in rural areas in general and in agriculture. But Myanmar is also in one of the most blessed situations on the planet to expect rapid growth and poverty alleviation: it is next to (literally surrounded by) the fastest growing and largest food markets in the entire world, in China, India, Southeast Asia, and eventually Bangladesh, to name a few; the trade opportunities these represent are with only few historical parallels. Myanmar is in the best position to fuel rural development from regional trade, on the planet.

description: Recent research on argumentative dialogues has focused on persuading people to take some action, changing their stance on the topic of discussion, or winning debates. In this work, we focus on argumentative dialogues that aim to open up (rather than change) people's minds to help them become more understanding to views that are unfamiliar or in opposition to their own convictions. To this end, we present a dataset of 183 argumentative dialogues about 3 controversial topics: veganism, Brexit and COVID-19 vaccination. The dialogues were collected using the Wizard of Oz approach, where wizards leverage a knowledge-base of arguments to converse with participants. Open-mindedness is measured before and after engaging in the dialogue using a questionnaire from the psychology literature, and success of the dialogue is measured as the change in the participant's stance towards those who hold opinions different to theirs. We evaluate two dialogue models: a Wikipedia-based and an argument-based model. We show that while both models perform closely in terms of opening up minds, the argument-based model is significantly better on other dialogue properties such as engagement and clarity.

description: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important mediators of the cytotoxicity induced by the direct reaction of ionising radiation (IR) with all critical cellular components, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. The derived oxidative damage may propagate in exposed tissues in a dose- and spatiotemporal dependent manner to other cell compartments, affecting intracellular signalling, and cell fate. To understand how cell damage is induced, we studied the oxidative events occurring immediately after cell irradiation by analysing the fate of IR-derived ROS, the intracellular oxidative damage, and the modification of redox environment accumulating in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) within 1 h after cell irradiation (dose range 0–10 Gy). By using the immuno-spin trapping technique (IST), spectrophotometric methods, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, we showed that IR-derived ROS (i) induced an IST-detectable, antioxidant-inhibitable one-electron oxidation of specific intracellular proteins; (ii) altered the glutathione (GSH) content (which was found to increase below 2 Gy, and decrease at higher doses, leading to a redox imbalance); (iii) decreased glutathione peroxidase and glutaredoxin activity; (iv) modified neither glutathione reductase nor thioredoxin reductase activity; (v) were detected by spin trapping technique, but adduct intensity decreased due to cell competition for ROS; and (vi) induced no EPR-detectable radicals assignable to oxidised cellular components. In conclusion, our results showed that IR generated an early high oxidising potential (protein radical intermediates, redox imbalance, modified redox enzyme activity) in irradiated cells potentially able to propagate the damage and induce oxidative modification of secondary targets.
Analysis of Premixed Flame Kernel/Turbulence Interactions under Engine Conditions based on DNS Data

description: Although the evolution of premixed flames in turbulence has been frequently studied, it is not well understood how small flames interact with large-scale turbulent flow motion. Since this question is of practical importance for the occurrence of cycle-to-cycle variations in spark ignition engines, the objective of the present work is to fundamentally differentiate early flame kernel development from well-established turbulent flame configurations. For this purpose, a DNS database consisting of three flames propagating in homogeneous isotropic turbulence (Falkenstein et al., Combust. Flame, 2019) is considered. The flames feature different ratios of the initially laminar flame diameter to the integral length scale. To quantify flame kernel development, the time evolution of flame topology and flame front geometry are analysed in detail. It is shown that some realizations of the early flame kernel are substantially influenced by high compressive strain caused by large-scale turbulent flow motion with characteristic length scales greater than the flame kernel size. As a result, the initial spherical kernel topology may become highly distorted, which is reflected in the stochastic occurrence of excessive curvature variance. Two mechanisms of curvature production resulting from early flame kernel/turbulence interactions are identified by analysis of the mean curvature balance equation. Further, it is shown that the curvature distribution of small flame kernels becomes strongly skewed towards positive curvatures, which is contrary to developed turbulent flames. Hence, the transition of ignition kernels to self-sustaining turbulent flames is very different in nature compared with the development of a statistically planar flame brush.

description: Rossby waves (r-modes) in rapidly rotating neutron stars are unstable because of the emission of gravitational radiation. We study saturation of this instability by nonlinear transfer of energy to stellar "inertial" oscillation modes. We present detailed calculations of stellar inertial modes in the WKB limit, their linear damping by bulk and shear viscosity, and the nonlinear coupling forces among these modes. The saturation amplitude is derived in the extreme limits of strong or weak driving by radiation reaction, as compared to the damping rate of low order inertial modes. We find the saturation energy is {\it extremely small}, at least four orders of magnitude smaller than that found by previous investigators. We discuss the consequences of this result for spin evolution of young neutron stars, and neutron stars being spun up by accretion in Low Mass X-ray Binaries.We also discuss the detection of these gravitational waves by LIGO.

description: Analog tunable memristors are widely utilized as artificial synapses in various neural network applications. However, exploiting the dynamical aspects of their conductance change to implement active neurons is still in its infancy, awaiting the realization of efficient neural signal recognition functionalities. Here we experimentally demonstrate an artificial neural information processing unit that can detect a temporal pattern in a very noisy environment, fire a single output spike upon successful detection and reset itself in a fully unsupervised, autonomous manner. This circuit relies on the dynamical operation of only two memristive blocks: a non-volatile Ta$_2$O$_5$ device and a volatile VO$_2$ unit. A fading functionality with exponentially tunable memory time constant enables adaptive operation dynamics, which can be tailored for the targeted temporal pattern recognition task. In the trained circuit false input patterns only induce short-term variations. In contrast, the desired signal activates long-term memory operation of the non-volatile component, which triggers a firing output of the volatile block.

description: Nearly three decades after the initiation of agricultural market reforms in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), subsidies for fertilizer and seed are once again the cornerstone of many SSA governments’ agricultural development and poverty reduction strategies. Zambia is a prime example. In the last decade, the Government of Republic of Zambia (GRZ) has devoted a considerable share of its agricultural budget to input subsidies. Between 2004 and 2011, spending on the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) accounted for an average of 30% of total GRZ agricultural sector spending, and 47% of GRZ agricultural sector Poverty Reduction Programme spending. Through FISP, GRZ provides beneficiary farmers with subsidized fertilizer and hybrid maize seed.

description: A deep learning network, Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) network, is used in this work to predict whether the maximum flare class an active region (AR) will produce in the next 24 hours is class $Γ$. We considered $Γ$ are $\ge M$, $\ge C$ and any flare class. The essence of using LSTM, which is a recurrent neural network, is its capability to capture temporal information of the data samples. The input features are time sequences of 20 magnetic parameters from SHARPs - Space-weather HMI Active Region Patches. We analyzed active regions from June 2010 to Dec 2018, using the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) X-ray flare catalogs and label the data samples with identified ARs in the GOES X-ray flare catalogs. Our results (i) shows consistent skill scores with recently published results using LSTMs and better than the previous work using single time input (eg. DeFN) (ii) The skill scores from the model show essential differences when different years of data was chosen for training and testing.

description: Responsive Wissenschaftskommunikation bezeichnet einen transdisziplinären Dialog zur wechselseitigen Integration wissenschaftlicher Perspektiven und regionsspezifischer, gesellschaftlicher Fragestellungen. Aus der Beteiligung und Kollaboration verschiedener Wissen(schaft)sresorts, regionaler Medien und einer breiten Öffentlichkeit können so Beiträge zur Wissenschaftskommunikation entstehen, die die lineare Kommunikationsdynamik zwischen Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit überwinden. Ein solcher Ansatz erweist sich angesichts des sich vollziehenden Wandels der Beziehung zwischen Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft als notwendig (vgl. Maasen/Dickel 2016, Weingart/Wormer 2016). Zudem birgt der Ansatz einer responsiven Wissenschaftskommunikation für Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft einen legitimatorischen bzw. einen emanzipatorischen Mehrwert. In diesem Arbeitspapier wird zum einen das Konzept „responsive Wissenschaftskommunikation“ ausgearbeitet; zum anderen werden die Erkenntnisse aus einem Pilotprojekt zu dessen praktischer Umsetzung vorgestellt. In Abschnitt 1 und 6 wird das Konzept aus bestehenden theoretische Ansätzen hergeleitet und von anderen (partizipativen) Ansätzen der Wissenschaftskommunikation differenziert. Eingebettet in die konzeptuelle Rahmung erfolgt in den Abschnitten 2 bis 5 die Darstellung und Analyse der Erkenntnisse aus der praktischen Erprobung einer responsiven Wissen-schaftskommunikation im Rahmen des Projekts „Wissenschaft in Bewegung“ an der Katholischen Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.
Maxwell's definition of electric polarization as displacement

description: After reaffirming that the macroscopic dipolar electromagnetic equations, which today are commonly referred to as Maxwell's equations, are found in Maxwell's Treatise, we explain from his Treatise that Maxwell defined his displacement vector D as the electric polarization and did not introduce in his Treatise or papers the concept of electric polarization P or the associated electric-polarization volume and surface charge densities, -div P and Pn, respectively. With this realization, we show that Maxwell's discussion of surface charge density between volume elements of dielectrics and between dielectrics and conductors becomes understandable and valid within the context of his definition of electric polarization as displacement D. Apparently, this identification of D with electric polarization in Maxwell's work has not been previously pointed out or documented except very briefly in [2].

description: We study a block spin transformation in the SU(3) lattice gauge theory on anisotropic lattices to obtain Iwasaki's renormalization group improved action for anisotropic cases. For the class of actions with plaquette and $1\times2$ rectangular terms, we determine the improvement parameters as functions of the anisotropy $ξ= a_s/a_t$. We find that the program of improvement works well also on anisotropic lattices. From a study of an indicator which estimates the distance to the renormalized trajectory, we show that, for the range of the anisotropy $ξ\approx 1$--4, the coupling parameters previously determined for isotropic lattices improve the theory considerably.

description: Generating responses in a targeted style is a useful yet challenging task, especially in the absence of parallel data. With limited data, existing methods tend to generate responses that are either less stylized or less context-relevant. We propose StyleFusion, which bridges conversation modeling and non-parallel style transfer by sharing a structured latent space. This structure allows the system to generate stylized relevant responses by sampling in the neighborhood of the conversation model prediction, and continuously control the style level. We demonstrate this method using dialogues from Reddit data and two sets of sentences with distinct styles (arXiv and Sherlock Holmes novels). Automatic and human evaluation show that, without sacrificing appropriateness, the system generates responses of the targeted style and outperforms competitive baselines.

description: We investigated whether the phonological co-activation of alternative names in picture naming (e.g. “fish” for target “shark”) is reduced by contextual constraints which render them inappropriate. In the constraining context, the target naming response was preceded by a naming response to an object from the same category (e.g. an eel) which remained visible during target naming. Therefore, use of the alternative target name “fish” would result (a) in an ambiguous response because of the visual context and (b) in a pragmatically odd response because of the previous naming response. In Experiment 1 the context pictures were named by the participants themselves and in Experiment 2 by a communication partner. In both experiments, interference from distractor words phonologically related (“finger”) versus unrelated (“book”) to the alternative name was observed regardless of context. This finding indicates limited flexibility in lexical activation during speech planning.

description: The periodic s-d(f) exchange model is characterized by a wide variety of interesting applications, a simple mathematical structure and a limited number of reliable approximations which take care of the quantum nature of the participating spins. We suggest the use of a projection-operator method for getting information perturbationally, which are not accessible via diagrammatic approaches. In this paper we present in particular results beyond perturbation theory, which are obtained such that almost all exactly known limiting cases are incorporated correctly. We discuss a variety of possible methods and evaluate their consequences for one-particle properties. These considerations serve as a guideline for a more effective approach to the model.

description: The advent of the Microstrip Gas Chamber (MSGC) has permitted the development of positron-sensitive gas avalanche detectors which combine sub-millimeter spatial resolution with multi-MHz global rate capabilities not attainable with traditional types of gas counter. Based on massively parallel electronic readout, the need to keep down electronic channel costs imposes a simple front-end design without in-built deadtime compensation. In this report we show that in-situ calibration of the deadtime of the detector system is straight-forward and reliable. Methods aew described for applications to x-ray and neutron detection.

description: Photoemission spectra of underdoped and lightly-doped Bi$_{2-z}$Pb$_z$Sr$_2$Ca$_{1-x}${\it R}$_{x}$Cu$_2$O$_{8+y}$ ($R=$ Pr, Er) (BSCCO) have been measured and compared with those of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ (LSCO). The lower-Hubbard band of the insulating BSCCO, like Ca$_2$CuO$_2$Cl$_2$, shows a stronger dispersion than La$_2$CuO$_4$ from ${\bf k}\sim$($π/2,π/2$) to $\sim$($π,0$). The flat band at ${\bf k}\sim$($π,0$) is found generally deeper in BSCCO. These observations together with the Fermi-surface shapes and the chemical potential shifts indicate that the next-nearest-neighbor hopping $|t^{\prime}|$ of the single-band model is larger in BSCCO than in LSCO and that $|t^{\prime}|$ rather than the super-exchange $J$ influences the pseudogap energy scale.

description: The compact configuration of Phase II of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) consists of both a redundant subarray and pseudo-random baselines, offering unique opportunities to perform sky-model and redundant interferometric calibration. The highly redundant hexagonal cores give improved power spectrum sensitivity. In this paper, we present the analysis of nearly 40 hours of data targeting one of the MWA's EoR fields observed in 2016. We use both improved analysis techniques presented in Barry et al. (2019) as well as several additional techniques developed for this work, including data quality control methods and interferometric calibration approaches. We show the EoR power spectrum limits at redshift 6.5, 6.8 and 7.1 based on our deep analysis on this 40-hour data set. These limits span a range in $k$ space of $0.18$ $h$ $\mathrm{Mpc^{-1}}$ $

description: The immune system is a cognitive system of complexity comparable to the brain and its computational algorithms suggest new solutions to engineering problems or new ways of looking at these problems. Using immunological principles, a two (or three-) module algorithm is developed which is capable of launching a specific response to an anomalous situation. Applications are being developed for electromechanical drives and network power transformers. Experimental results illustrate an application to fault detection in squirrel-cage electric motors.

Towards fair roads: Why we should & how to improve the fairness in traffic engineering

description: Traffic engineering aims to control infrastructure and population behavior to achieve optimal usage of road networks. Fairness is fundamental to stimulate cooperation in large populations, and plays an important role in traffic engineering, as it increases the well-being of users, improves driving safety by rule-adherence, and overcomes public resistance at legislative implementation. Despite the importance of fairness, only a few works have translated fairness into the transportation domain, with a focus on transportation planning rather than traffic engineering. This work highlights the importance of fairness when solving conflicts of large populations for scare, public good, road-network resources with traffic engineering, and establishes a connection to the modern fairness theories. Moreover, this work presents a fairness framework that serves when designing traffic engineering solutions, when convincing in public debates with a useful, argumentative tool-set to confront equity considerations, and enables systematic research and design of control systems.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

 Pour terminer, nous apportons quelques précisions sur le spécimen de l’herbier Lamarck, sur lequel Van Tieghem a décrit Ouratea plumeri Tiegh., avec une erreur de typification.
 Il ressort de nos observations que ce spécimen est sans rapport avec Ochna jabotapita L.: ses feuilles, unique caractère utilisable, montrent qu’il n’a de ressemblance avec aucune espèce antillaise d’ Ouratea, mais plutôt avec un taxon des Indes: Ochna cf. obtusata DC. subsp. pumila (Buch.-Ham. ex DC.)

description: In the field of neurobiology of language, neuroimaging studies are generally based on stimulation paradigms consisting of at least two different conditions. Designing those paradigms can be very time-consuming and this traditional approach is necessarily data-limited. In contrast, in computational and corpus linguistics, analyses are often based on large text corpora, which allow a vast variety of hypotheses to be tested by repeatedly re-evaluating the data set. Furthermore, text corpora also allow exploratory data analysis in order to generate new hypotheses. By drawing on the advantages of both fields, neuroimaging and computational corpus linguistics, we here present a unified approach combining continuous natural speech and MEG to generate a corpus of speech-evoked neuronal activity.

description: We explore a new class of braneworld models in which the scalar curvature of the (induced) brane metric contributes to the brane action. The scalar curvature term arises generically on account of one-loop effects induced by matter fields residing on the brane. Spatially flat braneworld models can enter into a regime of accelerated expansion at late times. This is true even if the brane tension and the bulk cosmological constant are tuned to satisfy the Randall--Sundrum constraint on the brane. Braneworld models admit a wider range of possibilities for dark energy than standard LCDM. In these models the luminosity distance can be both smaller and larger than the luminosity distance in LCDM. Whereas models with $d_L \leq d_L(\rm LCDM)$ imply $w = p/ρ\geq -1$ and have frequently been discussed in the literature, models with $d_L > d_L(\rm LCDM)$ have traditionally been ignored, perhaps because within the general-relativistic framework, the luminosity distance has this property {\em only if} the equation of state of matter is strongly negative ($w < -1$). Matter with $w < -1$ is beset with a host of undesirable properties, which makes this model of dark energy unattractive within the conventional framework. Braneworld models, on the other hand, have the capacity to endow dark energy with exciting new possibilities without suffering from the problems faced by models with $w < -1$. For a subclass of parameter values, braneworld dark energy and the acceleration of the universe are {\em transient} phenomena. In these models, the universe, after the current period of acceleration, re-enters the matter dominated regime so that the deceleration parameter $q(t) \to 0.5$ when $t \gg t_0$, where $t_0$ is the present epoch. Such models could help reconcile an accelerating universe with the requirements of string/M-theory.

How to disagree well: Investigating the dispute tactics used on Wikipedia
Creators: name: De Kock, C
name: Stafford, T
name: Vlachos, A
Publisher: name: Association for Computational Linguistics
Year: 2022

description: Disagreements are frequently studied from the perspective of either detecting toxicity or analysing argument structure. We propose a framework of dispute tactics which unifies these two perspectives, as well as other dialogue acts which play a role in resolving disputes, such as asking questions and providing clarification. This framework includes a preferential ordering among rebuttal-type tactics, ranging from ad hominem attacks to refuting the central argument. Using this framework, we annotate 213 disagreements (3, 865 utterances) from Wikipedia Talk pages. This allows us to investigate research questions around the tactics used in disagreements; for instance, we provide empirical validation of the approach to disagreement recommended by Wikipedia. We develop models for multilabel prediction of dispute tactics in an utterance, achieving the best performance with a transformer-based label powerset model. Adding an auxiliary task to incorporate the ordering of rebuttal tactics further yields a statistically significant increase. Finally, we show that these annotations can be used to provide useful additional signals to improve performance on the task of predicting escalation.
Model-potential calculations of positron binding, scattering, and annihilation for atoms and small molecules, using a Gaussian basis

description: A model-potential method is employed to calculate binding, elastic scattering, and annihilation of positrons for a number of atoms and small nonpolar molecules, namely, Be, Mg, He, Ar, H$_2$, N$_2$, Cl$_2$, and CH$_4$. The model potential contains one free parameter for each type of atom within the target. Its values are chosen to reproduce existing ab initio positron-atom binding energies or scattering phase shifts. The calculations are performed using a Gaussian basis for the positron states, and we show how to obtain values of the scattering phase shifts and normalized annihilation rate $Z_{\rm eff}$ from discrete positive-energy pseudostates. Good agreement between the present results and existing calculations and experimental data, where available, is obtained, including the $Z_{\rm eff}$ value for CH$_4$, which is strongly enhanced by a low-lying virtual positron state. An exception is the room-temperature value of $Z_{\rm eff}$ for Cl$_2$, for which the present value is much smaller than the experimental value obtained over 50 years ago. Our calculations predict that among the molecular targets studied, only Cl$_2$ might support a bound state for the positron, with a binding energy of a few meV.

description: We present a coordinate-independent method for extracting mass (M) and angular momentum (J) of a black hole in numerical simulations. This method, based on the isolated horizon framework, is applicable both at late times when the black hole has reached equilibrium, and at early times when the black holes are widely separated. We show how J and M can be determined in numerical simulations in terms of only those quantities which are intrinsic to the apparent horizon. We also present a numerical method for finding the rotational symmetry vector field (required to calculate J) on the horizon.
