description: Imperfections and inaccuracies in real technical products often influence the mechanical behavior and the overall structural reliability. The prediction of real stress states and possibly resulting failure mechanisms is essential and a real challenge, e.g. in the design process. In this contribution, imperfections in elastic materials such as air voids in adhesive bonds between fiber-reinforced composites are investigated. They are modeled as arbitrarily shaped and positioned. The focus is on local displacement values as well as on associated stress concentrations caused by the imperfections. For this purpose, the resulting complex random one-scale finite element model is numerically solved by a new developed surrogate model using an overlapping domain decomposition scheme based on Schwarz alternating method. Here, the actual response of local subproblems associated with isolated material imperfections is determined by a single appropriate surrogate model, that allows for an accelerated propagation of randomness. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated for imperfections with elliptical and ellipsoidal shape in 2D and 3D and extended to arbitrarily shaped voids. For the latter one, a local surrogate model based on artificial neural networks (ANN) is constructed. Finally, a comparison to experimental results validates the numerical predictions for a real engineering problem.

description: Using focused electron-beam-induced deposition (FEBID), we fabricate vertical, platinum-coated cobalt nanowires with a controlled three-dimensional structure. The latter is engineered to feature bends along the height: these are used as pinning sites for domain walls, the presence of which we investigate using X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) coupled to PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy (PEEM). The vertical geometry of our sample combined with the low incidence of the X-ray beam produce an extended wire shadow which we use to recover the wire's magnetic configuration. In this transmission configuration, the whole sample volume is probed, thus circumventing the limitation of PEEM to surfaces. This article reports on the first study of magnetic nanostructures standing perpendicular to the substrate with XMCD-PEEM. The use of this technique in shadow mode enabled us to confirm the presence of a domain wall (DW) without direct imaging of the nanowire.

description: In this paper, we develop an algorithm for computing Coleman--Gross (and hence Nekovář) $p$-adic heights on hyperelliptic curves over number fields with arbitrary reduction type above $p$. This height is defined as a sum of local heights at each finite place and we use algorithms for Vologodsky integrals, developed by Katz and the second-named author, to compute the local heights above $p$. We also discuss an alternative method to compute these for odd degree genus 2 curves via $p$-adic sigma functions, via work of the first-named author. For both approaches one needs to choose a splitting of the Hodge filtration. A canonical choice for this is due to Blakestad in the case of an odd degree curve of genus $2$ that has semistable ordinary reduction at $p$. We provide an algorithm to compute Blakestad's splitting, which is conjecturally the unit root splitting for the action of Frobenius. We give several numerical examples, including the first worked quadratic Chabauty example in the literature for a curve with bad reduction.

description: Photometric redshifts (photo-z's) are fundamental in galaxy surveys to address different topics, from gravitational lensing and dark matter distribution to galaxy evolution. The Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS), i.e. the ESO public survey on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST), provides the unprecedented opportunity to exploit a large galaxy dataset with an exceptional image quality and depth in the optical wavebands. Using a KiDS subset of about 25,000 galaxies with measured spectroscopic redshifts, we have derived photo-z's using i) three different empirical methods based on supervised machine learning, ii) the Bayesian Photometric Redshift model (or BPZ), and iii) a classical SED template fitting procedure (Le Phare). We confirm that, in the regions of the photometric parameter space properly sampled by the spectroscopic templates, machine learning methods provide better redshift estimates, with a lower scatter and a smaller fraction of outliers. SED fitting techniques, however, provide useful information on the galaxy spectral type which can be effectively used to constrain systematic errors and to better characterize potential catastrophic outliers. Such classification is then used to specialize the training of regression machine learning models, by demonstrating that a hybrid approach, involving SED fitting and machine learning in a single collaborative framework, can be effectively used to improve the accuracy of photo-z estimates.

description: Generative AI systems such as ChatGPT and Claude are built upon language models that are typically evaluated for accuracy on curated benchmark datasets. Such evaluation paradigms measure predictive and reasoning capabilities of language models but do not assess if they can provide information that is useful to people. In this paper, we take some initial steps in developing an evaluation paradigm that centers human understanding and decision-making. We study the utility of generative AI systems in supporting people in a concrete task - making sense of clinical reports and imagery in order to make a clinical decision. We conducted a formative need-finding study in which participants discussed chest computed tomography (CT) scans and associated radiology reports of a fictitious close relative with a cardiothoracic radiologist. Using thematic analysis of the conversation between participants and medical experts, we identified commonly occurring themes across interactions, including clarifying medical terminology, locating the problems mentioned in the report in the scanned image, understanding disease prognosis, discussing the next diagnostic steps, and comparing treatment options. Based on these themes, we evaluated two state-of-the-art generative AI systems against the radiologist's responses. Our results reveal variability in the quality of responses generated by the models across various themes. We highlight the importance of patient-facing generative AI systems to accommodate a diverse range of conversational themes, catering to the real-world informational needs of patients.

description: Homoharringtonine (HHT), an Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved anti-leukemia drug, exerts anti-tumor activity in several solid tumors, including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, its mechanism of action in CRC progression has not been comprehensively elucidated. The drug-disease targets were obtained using publicly available databases. Protein–protein interaction (PPI) network, Gene ontology (GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment were performed to reveal the core targets, biological processes and signaling pathways of HHT against CRC. Cell and animal experiments were performed to validate the inhibitory effects of HHT on CRC. A total of 98 overlapping target genes of HHT and CRC were predicted. Through PPI network and topology analysis, we screened out 23 hub genes. Enrichment assays showed 163 biological processes (BP), 18 cell components (CC), 35 molecular functions (MF), and 85 related pathways. Functionally, HHT inhibited CRC cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, colony formation, migration and invasion, and promoted apoptosis. HHT treatment resulted in the inactivation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling in CRC cells. Moreover, activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling by 740Y-P abated the suppressive effects of HHT on cell malignant phenotypes. Furthermore, HHT repressed CRC tumor growth in nude mice. Our current study demonstrated that HHT repressed CRC progression at least partly by inactivating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways, highlighting HHT as a potential therapeutic agent for CRC patients.

Tunneling Conductance in a Two-dimensional Dirac Semimetal Protected by Non-symmorphic Symmetry

description: We theoretically study a tunneling effect in a two-dimensional Dirac semimetal with two Dirac points protected by non-symmorphic symmetries. The tunnel barrier can be arranged by a magnetic exchange potential which opens a gap at the Dirac points which can be induced by a magnetic proximity effect of a ferromagnetic insulator. We found that the tunnel decay length increases with a decrease in the strength of the spin-orbit coupling, and moreover the dependence is attributed to the correlation of sublattice and spin degree of freedoms which lead to symmetry-protected Dirac points. The tunnel probability is quite different in two Dirac points, and thus the tunnel effect can be applied to the highly-selective valley filter.

description: We consider a wide-aperture surface-emitting laser with a saturable absorber section subjected to time-delayed feedback. We adopt the mean-field approach assuming a single longitudinal mode operation of the solitary VCSEL. We investigate cavity soliton dynamics under the effect of time- delayed feedback in a self-imaging configuration where diffraction in the external cavity is negligible. Using bifurcation analysis, direct numerical simulations and numerical path continuation methods, we identify the possible bifurcations and map them in a plane of feedback parameters. We show that for both the homogeneous and localized stationary lasing solutions in one spatial dimension the time-delayed feedback induces complex spatiotemporal dynamics, in particular a period doubling route to chaos, quasiperiodic oscillations and multistability of the stationary solutions.
Christians in Athens in the first two centuries: from Paul to Bishop Quadratus

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In the growing field of New Testament studies that could be termed "Polis and Ekklesia", much investigation has been done on the early Church in the larger urban centres such as Rome, Corinth and Ephesus. Peter Lampe commented, at the end of his study on Rome in the first two centuries (Christians at Rome in the First Two Centuries: From Paul to Valentinus, 2003), that it would be necessary to explore smaller urban centres in order to ascertain whether or not the larger ones were representative of the Christian movement more broadly. This thesis seeks to address a small part of the gap identified by Lampe by offering a historical investigation into the Christian church in Athens in the first two centuries CE. It grounds the relevant Christian texts-Acts 17; Paul's letters: 1 Thessalonians and 1 Corinthians; The Apology of Quadratus; The Apology of Aristides; Athenagoras' Legatio Pro Christianis; and Dionysius of Corinth's Letter to the Athenians-in the social, political and religious context of the city in this period, engaging with literary and material sources, in order to analyse how the early Christian movement interacted with its Athenian setting. The church in Athens began through the ministry of the Apostle Paul in the synagogue, the agora, and before the Areopagus council. He proclaimed "Jesus and the resurrection" as the way of salvation for a city embroiled in the tension of courting Roman power and fortifying its traditional legacy. In the second century, as Athens rose once more to prominence under Hadrian and the Antonine emperors, the Athenian church capitalised on the city's status and made its mark through a line of apologists. The early apologists, Quadratus and Aristides, responded to the challenges of the Jewish revolts under Trajan and Hadrian, and engaged the ethno-religious conversations that came about from Hadrian's Panhellenic program. Later in the century, Athenagoras wrote his Legatio in a time of significant persecution which seems to have arisen in part in response to the social turmoil of the 170s CE. After Athenagoras' flight from Athens to Alexandria, external support for the Athenian church came from Dionysius, the bishop of Corinth. Dionysius supported the appointment of a new bishop, Quadratus, and encouraged the Athenian Christians to rekindle their faith, a faith that was shared with their founder, that Apostle Paul, and the "first Athenian bishop", Dionysius the Areopagite -- abstract.

description: We discuss a class of left-right symmetric theories with a universal seesaw mechanism for fermion masses and mixing and the implications for neutrinoless double beta ($0νββ$) decay where neutrino masses are governed by natural type-II seesaw dominance. The scalar sector consists of left- and right-handed Higgs doublets and triplets, while the conventional Higgs bidoublet is absent in this scenario. We use the Higgs doublets to implement the left-right and the electroweak symmetry breaking. On the other hand, the Higgs triplets with induced vacuum expectation values can give Majorana masses to light and heavy neutrinos and mediate $0νββ$ decay. In the absence of the Dirac mass terms for the neutrinos, this framework can naturally realize type-II seesaw dominance even if the right-handed neutrinos have masses of a few TeV. We study the implications of this framework in the context of $0νββ$ decay and gauge coupling unification.

Color Confinement and Spatial Dimensions in the Complex-sedenion Space
Creators: name: Weng, Zi-Hua
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The paper aims to apply the complex-sedenions to explore the wavefunctions and field equations of non-Abelian gauge fields, considering the spatial dimensions of a unit vector as the color degrees of freedom in the complex-quaternion wavefunctions, exploring the physical properties of the color confinement essentially. J. C. Maxwell was the first to employ the quaternions to study the physical properties of electromagnetic fields. His method inspires some subsequent scholars to introduce the quaternions, octonions, and sedenions to research the electromagnetic field, gravitational field, nuclear field, quantum mechanics, and gauge field. The application of complex-sedenions is capable of depicting not only the field equations of the classical mechanics on the macroscopic scale, but also the field equations of the quantum mechanics on the microscopic scale. The latter can be degenerated into the Dirac equation and Yang-Mills equation. In contrast to the complex-number wavefunction, the wavefunction in the complex-quaternion space possesses three new degrees of freedom, that is, three color degrees of freedom. One complex-quaternion wavefunction is equivalent to three conventional wavefunctions with the complex-numbers. It means that the three spatial dimensions of unit vector in the complex-quaternion wavefunction can be considered as the `three colors', naturally the color confinement will be effective. In other words, in the complex-quaternion space, the `three colors' are only the spatial dimensions, rather than any property of physical substance. The existing `three colors' can be merged into the wavefunction, described with the complex-quaternions.

Performance comparison of gallium nitride (GaN) in DC-DC converter circuit

description: Solar power system is a free sources of sustainable power unlike fossil fuels, and inexhaustible. Converters can shift the level of voltage from one to another through switches. Which is very important for solar power system. Transistor plays a vital role in any converter circuit because the overall efficiency of a circuit depends on the switching losses. Transistor works as switch in a converter circuit. In last few years it has been proven that Gallium Nitride (GaN) based switches have benefits over silicon switches. Using GaN technology reduces the cost of design and the construction of transistors. The GaN based transistor has the ability to operate at a high frequency with low switching power loss. This study is based on a boost converter circuit, where three different transistor model were used to compare their output and efficiency. The output was measured based on simulation conducted on LTSpice platform. Then comes to a decision as to which transistor can give better performance.
Foraging dynamics of little penguins in a hotspot of ocean warming

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In an era of rapid environmental change, predators can act as sentinels of shifts in ecosystem structure. By studying when, where and how much prey predators find under different foraging conditions, we can gain insight into how environmental changes affect food webs. Advances in bio-logging technology have opened a window into animal lives, and it is increasingly possible to identify feeding behaviour by cryptic predators under natural conditions. By linking feeding events to key physical and biological parameters, we can improve our understanding of the factors underpinning prey availability and predator ecology in complex and changing systems. In this thesis, I explored factors that influence prey capture by little penguins (Eudyptula minor) off the southern east coast of Australia. This region is a hotspot of global ocean warming, owing to the intensification of the warm, nutrient-poor East Australian Current. The pelagic food web in this area remains poorly characterised, and it is unknown how the system will respond to increasing oceanographic change. Understanding interactions among predators, prey availability and the physical environment can therefore provide a lens through which to explore changes in the East Australian Current ecosystem. I developed a prey capture signature from accelerometry to identify feeding events by wild penguins. Using this index, I showed that prey capture was related to sea surface temperature at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Penguins usually caught prey in foraging habitat associated with the coolest available temperatures, and high offshore temperatures (> 21oC) were related to low prey capture rates. I showed that patterns of prey capture by penguins matched independent estimates of the distribution of prey at nested spatial scales. I also found that penguins exhibited a flexible foraging strategy in this dynamic environment, incorporating information on prior foraging success and in situ conditions. These findings present new perspectives on predator prey interactions and resource availability in the pelagic ecosystem off eastern Australia, providing a foundation for future examination of this food web as the East Australian Current intensifies.

description: We establish a priori error bounds for monotone stabilized finite element discretizations of stationary second-order mean field games (MFG) on Lipschitz polytopal domains. Under suitable hypotheses, we prove that the approximation is asymptotically nearly quasi-optimal in the $H^1$-norm in the sense that, on sufficiently fine meshes, the error between exact and computed solutions is bounded by the best approximation error of the corresponding finite element space, plus possibly an additional term, due to the stabilization, that is of optimal order with respect to the mesh size. We thereby deduce optimal rates of convergence of the error with respect to the mesh-size for solutions with sufficient regularity. We further show full asymptotic quasi-optimality of the approximation error in the more restricted case of sequences of strictly acute meshes. Our third main contribution is to further show, in the case where the domain is convex, that the convergence rate for the $H^1$-norm error of the value function approximation remains optimal even if the density function only has minimal regularity in $H^1$.

description: We report the development of a detection optics for the integration of Raman scattering and scanning probe microscopy at low temperature based on a parabolic mirror. In our set-up half of the paraboloid mirror covers a solid angle of $π$ corresponding to a numerical aperture of N.A.\,$\approx 0.85$. The optical system can be used for far- and near-field spectroscopy. In the far field the polarizations can be maintained to within 80-90\%. In combination with a scanning microscope (AFM/STM), tunneling or near-field experiments are possible with less than 10\% loss of aperture. Our set-up provides ideal conditions for the future development of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) at low temperature.

description: This study aims to explore the effect of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) variability (mean absolute difference of the log2 NT-proBNP level measured in hospital) on the prognosis of patients with cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 2. Patients with CRS type 2 were retrospectively included. The varied NT-proBNP indications were analyzed. They were NT-proBNP I(pre-treatment), NT-proBNP II(post-treatment), NT-proBNP II/I, ΔNT-proBNP, log2 (NT-proBNP) variability and mean log2 (NT-proBNP). A logistic regression model and survival curves (Kaplan–Meier analysis) were built to identify independent predictors associated with poor prognosis. The primary outcomes were major adverse renal and cardiac events. The secondary outcome was all-cause mortality. From 2012 to 2016, 136 patients were included in this study with 69 (50.7%) had high log2 (NT-proBNP) variability level. The optimal cutoff level for each NT-proBNP indication that predicts poor prognosis was calculated, and the area under curves ranged from 0.668 to 0.891 with different indications. Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed that there was significantly correlated with prevalence of primary outcomes and NT-proBNP variability. The hazard ratios (HRs) ranged from 1.67 to 6.61 with different indications. The multivariate regression analyses also identified the risk of the primary outcomes were associated with elevated NT-proBNP values, except NT-proBNP I. The odds ratio (ORs) ranged from 1.83 to 6.61 with different indications. When analyzing the relationship between NT-proBNP variability and all-cause mortality, the results were the same. NT-proBNP variability might serve as an independent predictor for poor prognosis and all-cause mortality in patients with CRS type 2.

description: We study the effect of scalar leptoquark and $Z^\prime$ boson on the rare decays of $D$ mesons involving flavour changing transitions $c \to u l^+ l^- (l^\mp_i l^\pm_j)$. We constrain the new physics parameter space using the branching ratio of the rare decay mode $D^0 \to μ^+ μ^-$ and the $D^0-\bar D^0$ oscillation data. We compute the branching ratios, forward-backward asymmetry parameters and flat terms in $D^{+(0)} \to π^{+(0)} μ^+ μ^-$ processes using the constrained parameters. The branching ratios of the lepton flavour violating $D$ meson decays, such as $D^0 \to μe, ~τe$ and $D^{+(0)} \to π^{+(0)} μ^- e^+$ are also investigated.

description:  The study designed, developed and evaluated a Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) tool for use in tertiary level introductory accounting courses. It was multi- disciplinary in nature incorporating CAL, accounting and education and was undertaken to address specific weaknesses identified in accounting education. In response to an identified gap in the literature six guidelines for the design, development and implementation of the CAL tool were formulated. In developing the CAL tool, MACSIM (Manual ACcounting SIMulation), object -oriented methodology incorporating these six guidelines proved to be an appropriate methodology. 
MACSIM was incorporated in the strategy for teaching accounting to first year Associate Diploma of Business students. Evaluation of the tool was performed in two phases.  During the first phase, CAL experts and a small student group examined and pilot tested MACSIM. Phase two focused on more formal testing of MACSIM with a larger group of students.  The results of the evaluation confirmed the appropriateness of the design of the CAL tool. Test results indicate the students' positive attitudes towards computing and accounting remained high after exposure to MACSIM. The tool appeared to suit all student groups except the groups labelled by the author as inappropriate and shallow processors. Overall results indicate MACSIM is effective in teaching and reinforcing accounting concepts and in improving students' attitude toward learning. The multi-disciplinary approach adopted in the study, incorporating CAL, accounting and education was rewarding and is recommended for future research of this nature.
The cinematics of surveillance

description: This thesis examines the increasingly liquid boundary between cinema and surveillance through an integration of critical writing and an innovative screenplay, my adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novel, The Secret Agent entitled Lone Wolf. My central research question is how the proliferation of surveillance in society has been and might be interpreted and incorporated into screen storytelling. Building on contemporary work in screen studies, this research queries the notion, prevalent in the study of surveillance and cinema, of a rigid psychoanalytic power disparity in the surveillance relationship. Instead it argues that new surveillance technologies have complicated the dynamic between the viewer and the object. New analysis and modeling is required for understanding digital age surveillance and its symbiosis with cinema. The critical framework of this thesis encompasses close readings of specific surveillance films including Rear Window, The Conversation, The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, Lost Highway, Caché, The Social Network and Snowden. It references the disciplines of film studies, sociology, philosophy, psychology, art history, writing studies, and adaptation studies in identifying an element that has been largely overlooked in the study of surveillance and its relationship to cinema: the role of the apparatus. Analysis of the differing modes of surveillance, mise en scène, sound and voyeurism are the pointers in this investigation of surveillance and cinema. I argue that the influence of the apparatus is a significant factor in the dialogue between surveillance and cinema and is reflective of the ubiquity of digital surveillance in the twenty-first century. I propose that the confluence of apparatuses, between the two visual expressions of surveillance and cinema, has fomented a new dispostif for the fictional screen narrative: the cineveillant film. The tropes that I identify as cineveillant are trialed in my screenplay adaptation. Lone Wolf represents an opportunity for reflexive research-led practice and suggests a possible model for a screen narrative form than contemplates surveillance imagery beyond its prevalent delineation as merely spectacle. Through research and practice I underscore my assertion that the cineveillant dispostif is not just the causality of art imitating life imitating art imitating life but, more specifically, art imitating technology imitating art imitating technology.

description: Consider the noncrossing set partitions of an $n$-element set which either do not contain the block $\{n-1,n\}$, or which do not contain the singleton block $\{n\}$ whenever $1$ and $n-1$ are in the same block. In this article we study the subposet of the noncrossing partition lattice induced by these elements, and show that it is a supersolvable lattice, and therefore lexicographically shellable. We give a combinatorial model for the NBB bases of this lattice and derive an explicit formula for the value of its Möbius function between least and greatest element. This work is motivated by a recent article by M. Bruce, M. Dougherty, M. Hlavacek, R. Kudo, and I. Nicolas, in which they introduce a subposet of the noncrossing partition lattice that is determined by parking functions with certain forbidden entries. In particular, they conjecture that the resulting poset always has a contractible order complex. We prove this conjecture by embedding their poset into ours, and showing that it inherits the lexicographic shellability.

description: We present ARPES data taken from the structurally simplest representative of iron-based superconductors, FeSe, in a wide temperature range. Apart from the variations related to the nematic transition, we detect very pronounced shifts of the dispersions on the scale of hundreds of kelvins. Remarkably, upon warming the sample up, the band structure has a tendency to relax to the one predicted by conventional band structure calculations, right opposite to what is intuitively expected. Our findings shed light on the origin of the dominant interaction shaping the electronic states responsible for high-temperature superconductivity in iron-based materials.

A quantum-mechanical anharmonic oscillator with a most interesting spectrum

description: We revisit the problem posed by an anharmonic oscillator with a potential given by a polynomial function of the coordinate of degree six that depends on a parameter $λ$. The ground state can be obtained exactly and its energy $E_{0}=1$ is independent of $λ$. This solution is valid only for $λ>0$ because the eigenfunction is not square integrable otherwise. Here we show that the perturbation series for the expectation values are Padé and Borel-Padé summable for $λ>0$. When $% λ<0$ the spectrum exhibits an infinite number of avoided crossings at each of which the eigenfunctions undergo dramatic changes in their spatial distribution that we analyze by means of the expectation values $\langle x^{2}\rangle $.
