A STEAM Approach to Understanding Water Systems
Creators: name: Mattos, Kaitlin
name: Preza, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: QUBES Educational Resources
Year: 2024

description: Students will investigate their relationships to water through STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) using a combination of science, art, and reflection and build new scientific skills to evaluate water quality and what is influencing it. Background information includes readings and classroom lectures about the water cycle, water systems, and point and nonpoint sources of pollution. Students will explore their connection to the different parts of the water cycle and local water systems using photography (i.e., the Photovoice method). Students will work in the field to examine maps and explore their surroundings to identify potential sources of point and nonpoint pollution. Students will use water quality tests to measure turbidity, nitrate, phosphate, and pH. Students will then reflect on their personal relationships with water, local maps, water quality results, and field experience to answer questions related to the water systems around them. The goal of this activity is to help students become familiarized with water systems, human influences on those systems, field analyses of water quality, and their personal relationships and influences on water.

description: The German meat industry faces a high demand for food safety and traceability. After several meat scandals in the recent past, efforts have to be made to regain consumer trust and to assure access to export markets. Apart from a few niche markets, there is no focal company in the German pork supply chain which efficiently coordinates food chain information, harmonizes the multiplicity of different IT systems or takes on professional public relations in charge of the whole sector. In cases of food crises, essential up- and downstream information slowly flows across the supply chain which hinders both seamless traceability and the harmonization of production processes between the various stages of the supply chain. This contribution focuses on the opportunities for more efficient coordination based on spot market environments. With reference to the theory of organization economics, a case study of the QS Qualität und Sicherheit GmbH as the leading certification scheme that addresses the German meat industry was carried out. Several non-classical certification activities which fall within the scope of coordination were identified with QS. Based on the assumption that the company continuously improves the coordination of the supply chain, there are opportunities for the meat sector as a whole which are pointed out in the conclusion.

description: The essay has the aim to analyze the genetic relationship between aesthetic faculties and symbolic performances. The field chosen by the author for his remark is the work of Walter Benjamin, in which the centrality of the subject is detectable both in its first and in its last part. Following the theory of Fabrizio Desideri’s last book La percezione riflessa and trying to apply its results to this specific field, the essay sheds light on the mimetic link between symbol and perception, therefore it results perspicuous the role of aesthetic faculties in the genesis of human symbolism.

description: The purpose of this paper is to assess the marketing management capabilities of SMEs producing traditional food products in EU throughout the development of a benchmarking tool. SMEs represent the greater part of European food firms and they find it very difficult to adapt to market changes, and to compete with big enterprises. In this context, marketing management plays a key role in good SMEs performances in the market. The benchmarking tool, utilised to assess marketing capabilities, is aimed at improving critical points in the marketing area of traditional food firms by following the example of the best ones. This method is developed in the innovative form of an interactive questionnaire published on the Web. At the moment the sample is composed by 60 firms located in three member states (Belgium, Italy, and Hungary) producing traditional food products belonging to five sectors (cheese, beer, dry ham, sausage and white pepper). The data were analysed with cluster analysis. Results show that the majority of firms is weak in marketing research, and also the marketing strategy is not well developed. On the other hand, stronger performance is shown in innovation. Related to the size and production, generally, micro sized firms perform worse than small and medium enterprises, and the production of PDO-PGI products affects positively the marketing capabilities.

Quasinormal modes in charged fluids at complex momentum

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the convergence of relativistic hydrodynamics in charged fluids, within the framework of holography. On the one hand, we consider the analyticity properties of the dispersion relations of the hydrodynamic modes on the complex frequency and momentum plane and on the other hand, we perform a perturbative expansion of the dispersion relations in small momenta to a very high order. We see that the locations of the branch points extracted using the first approach are in good quantitative agreement with the radius of convergence extracted perturbatively. We see that for different values of the charge, different types of pole collisions set the radius of convergence. The latter turns out to be finite in the neutral case for all hydrodynamic modes, while it goes to zero at extremality for the shear and sound modes. Furthermore, we also establish the phenomenon of pole-skipping for the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, and we find that the value of the momentum for which this phenomenon occurs need not be within the radius of convergence of hydrodynamics.

Sequential measurements method for moving surfaces profiling
Creators: name: Gazzarri, Javier Ignacio
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Surface profiling is an important need in many industrial and scientific applications. Lumber manufacture quality control is a typical example. The simplest way to measure surface height profile is to make a series of measurements with a displacement sensor while relatively moving the specimen and sensor in a straight line perpendicular to the measurement direction. The drawback to this method is that deviations from straight-line motion cause errors that are indistinguishable from measured surface shape. In many cases, linear motion of the required accuracy is not practicable in industrial conditions. The state of the art procedure to monitor surface quality is thickness measurement, which is insensitive to rigid motion. However, it cannot separately identify the surfaces each side of the product, very often machined by different tools. This work describes a novel method for measuring surface height profile in presence of relative motion between the piece and the sensor and on two sides independently. This is very useful for maintenance purposes because it constitutes a fast and direct way to monitor tool performance online. The procedure involves using multiple sensors operating along a line in the direction of the object motion. The central idea of the proposed method is the observation that surface height features appear in delayed sequence as the specimen moves sideways relative ,to the sensor array. However, any relative motions, either vertical or rotational, appear simultaneously at all sensors. The proposed equations constitute an inverse problem, and fitting methods of Inverse Theory are used to separate the delayed and simultaneous components of the measurements, from which the surface height profiles can be reconstructed. The proposed equations were applied on an experimental conveyor with several laser sensors on different scanning configurations. Surface calculations adequately met accuracy requirements of lumber inspection standards. The proposed method is capable of profiling two sides of an object, separately and independently of relative motions between the sensors and the surfaces. If parallel lines are scanned on the same side of the object, information about overall twist is also obtained.

description: We present XMM-Newton observations of the 569 sec period system RX J1914+24 (V407 Vul). This period is believed to represent the binary orbital period making it an ultra-compact binary system. By comparing the phase of the rise to maximum X-ray flux at various epochs (this includes observations made using ROSAT, ASCA and Chandra) we find that the system is spinning up at a rate of 3.17+/-0.07x10^{-12} s/s. We find that the spectra softens as the X-ray flux declines towards the off-phase of the 569 sec period. Further, the spectra are best fitted by an absorbed blackbody component together with a broad emission feature around 0.59keV. This emission feature is most prominent at the peak of the on-phase. We speculate on its origin.

description: This paper analyses the evolution of food retailing and describes how metaverses impact on it considering that retailers could be present in three different, but intertwined spaces. Our analysis deals with the major promotional issues, challenges and opportunities faced by traditional retailers, e-retailers and metaverse food retailers and the case of Second Life, a popular metaverse, is examined. A major finding is that retailers should apply a holistic approach when developing their promotional strategies aiming to have a presence in all three spaces. The authors suggest the pressing need for food policy development and stress the promotional and transactional potential that metaverses provide to other agri-food chain members including SMEs and manufacturers.
Core depletion from coalescing supermassive black holes
Creators: name: Graham, Alister W.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: New measurements of the stellar-mass deficits at the centers of luminous elliptical galaxies are presented. These were derived considering the following observational facts. Firstly, ``core'' galaxies, which are thought to have had their inner region depleted from the coalesence of supermassive black holes, show an abrupt downward deviation of their inner light-profile relative to their outer Sersic profile. Second, ``power-law'' galaxies, having undisturbed profiles and no partially depleted core, have inner light-profiles that display no departure from the inward extrapolation of their outer Sersic profile. The central stellar deficits have therefore been derived from the difference in flux between the HST-observed galaxy light-profiles and the inward extrapolation of each galaxy's outer Sersic profile. This approach gives flux deficits ~0.1% of the total galaxy light, and mass deficits that are ~2 times each galaxy's central supermassive black hole mass. These results are in agreement with the theoretical expectations of mass ejection from binary black hole mergers and also with popular LCDM models of hierarchical galaxy formation. It is also explained why this result is some 10 times smaller than current observational estimates of the central mass deficit, and therefore implies a merger history for giant elliptical galaxies that is one order of magnitude less violent than previously suggested.

description: We analyze ground-based chromospheric data acquired at a high temporal cadence of 2 s in wings of the H$α$ spectral line using Goode Solar Telescope (GST) operating at the Big Bear Solar Observatory. We inspected a 30 minute long H$α$-0.08~nm data set to find that rapid blue-shifted H$α$ excursions (RBEs), which are a cool component of type II spicules, experience very rapid morphological changes on the time scales of the order of 1 second. Unlike typical reconnection jets, RBEs very frequently appear \textit{in situ} without any clear evidence of H$α$ material being injected from below. Their evolution includes inverted "Y", "V", "N", and parallel splitting (doubling) patterns as well as sudden formation of a diffuse region followed by branching. We also find that the same feature may undergo several splitting episodes within about 1 min time interval.

description: In this report, we develop a model for the resonant interaction between a pair of coupled quantum wires, under conditions where self-consistent effects lead to the formation of a local magnetic moment in one of the wires. Our analysis is motivated by the experimental results of Morimoto et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. \bf{82}, 3952 (2003)], who showed that the conductance of one of the quantum wires exhibits a resonant peak at low temperatures, whenever the other wire is swept into the regime where local-moment formation is expected. In order to account for these observations, we develop a theoretical model for the inter-wire interaction that calculated the transmission properties of one (the fixed) wire when the device potential is modified by the presence of an extra scattering term, arising from the presence of the local moment in the swept wire. To determine the transmission coefficients in this system, we derive equations describing the dynamics of electrons in the swept and fixed wires of the coupled-wire geometry. Our analysis clearly shows that the observation of a resonant peak in the conductance of the fixed wire is correlated to the appearance of additional structure (near $0.75\cdot$ or $0.25\cdot 2e^2/h$) in the conductance of the swept wire, in agreement with the experimental results of Morimoto et al.

description: We recently showed, in hep-ph/0406101, that warped extra dimensional models with bulk custodial symmetry and few TeV KK masses lead to striking signals at $B$-factories. In this paper, using a spurion analysis, we systematically study the flavor structure of models that belong to the above class. In particular we find that the profiles of the zero modes, which are similar in all these models, essentially control the underlying flavor structure. This implies that our results are robust and model independent in this class of models. We discuss in detail the origin of the signals in B-physics. We also briefly study other NP signatures that arise in rare K decays ($K \to πνν$), in rare top decays [$t \to c γ(Z, gluon)$] and the possibilty of CP asymmetries in $D^0$ decays to CP eigenstates such as $K_S π^0$ and others. Finally we demonstrate that with light KK masses, $\sim3$ TeV, the above class of models with anarchic $5D$ Yukawas has a ``CP problem'' since contributions to the neutron electric dipole moment are roughly 20 times larger than the current experimental bound. Using AdS/CFT correspondence, these extra-dimensional models are dual to a purely 4D strongly coupled conformal Higgs sector thus enhancing their appeal.

description: Laser wakefield accelerators promise to revolutionise many areas of accelerator science. However, one of the greatest challenges to their widespread adoption is the difficulty in control and optimisation of the accelerator outputs due to coupling between input parameters and the dynamic evolution of the accelerating structure. Here, we use machine learning techniques to automate a 100 MeV-scale accelerator, which optimised its outputs by simultaneously varying up to 6 parameters including the spectral and spatial phase of the laser and the plasma density and length. Most notably, the model built by the algorithm enabled optimisation of the laser evolution that might otherwise have been missed in single-variable scans. Subtle tuning of the laser pulse shape caused an 80% increase in electron beam charge, despite the pulse length changing by just 1%.

description: Food supply chains complexity present a real challenge to perform economic evaluation of food traceability systems and their innovation/upgrades. In order to perform a supply chain wide economic evaluation a conceptual framework is developed using food traceability reference models. Reference models allow interaction with chain members’ requirements that come from legal and/or customer sources. The paper demonstrates how the requirements will have a definite effect on the costs and design of food traceability systems through the resources they demand. Even though this is a first step into addressing the challenge, more investigation is needed to clarify the boundaries of the two requirements and their economic effects on food traceability systems and their innovations/upgrades.

Employing the two-dimensional one-band Hubbard model and a generalized RPA-type theory we consider anisotropic hopping matrix elements ($t_x \neq t_y$) and a mixing of d- and s-wave symmetry of the superconducting order parameter in order to describe orthorhombic superconductors. We compare our calculations with available inelastic neutron scattering data on untwinned YBa{2}Cu{3}O{7-δ} and find good agreement. Furthermore, we predict a strongly anisotropic in-plane dispersion of the resonance peak.

description: Liquid xenon (LXe) based detectors for rare event searches in particle and astroparticle physics are optimized for high xenon scintillation light collection and low background rate from detector materials. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon) is commonly used to encapsulate the active LXe volume due to its high reflectance for VUV LXe scintillation light with peak emission at 178 nm. Reflectance, transmission and number of background signals arising from PTFE depend on the thickness of the PTFE detector walls. In this work, we present VUV transmission measurements for PTFE of various thicknesses often considered in the design phase of LXe detectors. PTFE samples are measured in an apparatus previously used for reflectance measurements in LXe using collimated light at a wavelength of 178 nm. Measurements in vacuum as well as gaseous xenon are described by the Kubelka and Munk model, as well as by Beer-Lambert's law for samples of $\geq 0.7\,\mathrm{mm}$ thickness, yielding a transmission coefficient of $λ_\text{BL} = (0.89 \pm 0.05)\,\mathrm{mm}$. The PTFE wall thickness of the XENONnT dark matter experiment was optimized by these measurements and selected as $\geq 3\,\mathrm{mm}$.

TeV $γ$-radiation from Dark Matter annihilation in the Galactic center

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Recent observations of the Galactic center with ground based gamma-ray instruments have revealed a TeV (10$^{12}$ eV) gamma-ray signal consistent with the position of Sgr A*. The derived luminosity of the signal above 1 TeV is a few $10^{34} \mathrm{erg} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ which is slightly more than e.g. the gamma-ray luminosity of the Crab nebula and a plausible identification could be a conventional albeit strong gamma-ray source. The observations with the H.E.S.S. system of Cherenkov telescopes have decreased the solid angle subtended by the error box by more than a factor of hundred with respect to the previous observations of the VERITAS and CANGAROO groups. After studying the observed energy spectrum and angular distribution of the excess as seen by the H.E.S.S. experiment, a massive Dark Matter candidate with a minimum mass of 12 TeV (90 % c.l.) and an upper limit on the WIMP density for $r<10$ pc of $1261 M_\odot \mathrm{pc}^{-3} \times (< σv>/3\cdot10^{-26} \mathrm{cm}^3\mathrm{s}^{-1})^{-1/2}$ is required to explain the observed flux by an annihilation signal. The angular distribution of the excess events is consistent with a cuspy profile with $ρ(r)\propto r^{-α}$ with $α>1.0$ at a confidence level of 90 %. Even though the mass and the cross section of the Dark Matter constituents are unexpectedly high in the framework of most models of nonbaryonic Dark Matter, it can not be ruled out.

description: Modern machine learning force fields (ML-FF) are able to yield energy and force predictions at the accuracy of high-level $ab~initio$ methods, but at a much lower computational cost. On the other hand, classical molecular mechanics force fields (MM-FF) employ fixed functional forms and tend to be less accurate, but considerably faster and transferable between molecules of the same class. In this work, we investigate how both approaches can complement each other. We contrast the ability of ML-FF for reconstructing dynamic and thermodynamic observables to MM-FFs in order to gain a qualitative understanding of the differences between the two approaches. This analysis enables us to modify the generalized AMBER force field (GAFF) by reparametrizing short-range and bonded interactions with more expressive terms to make them more accurate, without sacrificing the key properties that make MM-FFs so successful.

description: From Charles Darwin, the theoretical framework of evolutionary aesthetics is sexual selection. Recent debate focuses the attention particularly on the criterion of female choice. The aim of this article is to sketch a Darwinian way to aesthetics complementary to the one that Darwin himself present in The descent of man (1871). A series of notes in the Darwin's notebooks traditionally known as “Metaphysical Enquiries” will constitute the point of departure for a hypothetical reconstruction of evolutionary history of aesthetic

description: Detecting pedestrians and predicting future trajectories for them are critical tasks for numerous applications, such as autonomous driving. Previous methods either treat the detection and prediction as separate tasks or simply add a trajectory regression head on top of a detector. In this work, we present a novel end-to-end two-stage network: Spatio-Temporal-Interactive Network (STINet). In addition to 3D geometry modeling of pedestrians, we model the temporal information for each of the pedestrians. To do so, our method predicts both current and past locations in the first stage, so that each pedestrian can be linked across frames and the comprehensive spatio-temporal information can be captured in the second stage. Also, we model the interaction among objects with an interaction graph, to gather the information among the neighboring objects. Comprehensive experiments on the Lyft Dataset and the recently released large-scale Waymo Open Dataset for both object detection and future trajectory prediction validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. For the Waymo Open Dataset, we achieve a bird-eyes-view (BEV) detection AP of 80.73 and trajectory prediction average displacement error (ADE) of 33.67cm for pedestrians, which establish the state-of-the-art for both tasks.
SQUID pattern disruption in transition metal dichalcogenide Josephson junctions due to non-parabolic dispersion of the edge states

description: We theoretically study Josephson junctions with a transition metal dichalcogenide zigzag ribbon as a weak link. We demonstrate that the spatial profile of the supercurrent carried by the edge modes determines the critical current dependence on the perpendicular magnetic field. We explore this finding and analyze the impact of Zeeman interaction and the orbital effects of the magnetic field on the Andreev bound states energies. We show that the unequal Fermi velocities of the spin-opposite edge modes lead to an anomalous shift of the Andreev bound states in the presence of the magnetic field. This is manifested in a pronounced modification of the SQUID critical current oscillations when two opposite edges of the ribbon are conducting and can be exploited in order to reveal the anomalous phase shift of the Andreev bound states in a single Josephson junction device.

Functional uncertainty quantification for isobaric molecular dynamics simulations and defect formation energies

description: Functional uncertainty quantification (FunUQ) was recently proposed to quantify uncertainties in models and simulations that originate from input functions, as opposed to parameters. This paper extends FunUQ to quantify uncertainties originating from interatomic potentials in isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and to the calculation of defect formation energies. We derive and verify a computationally inexpensive expression to compute functional derivatives in MD based on perturbation theory. We show that this functional derivative of the quantities of interest (average internal energy, volume, and defect energies in our case) with respect to the interatomic potential can be used to predict those quantities for a different interatomic potential, without re-running the simulation. The codes and scripts to perform FunUQ in MD are freely available for download. In addition, to facilitate reproducibility and to enable use of best practices for the approach, we created Jupyter notebooks to perform FunUQ analysis on MD simulations and made them available for online simulation in nanoHUB. The tool uses cloud computing resources and users can view, edit, and run end-to-end workflows from a standard web-browser without the need to need to download or install any software.

description: Agri-food chains are complex systems involving multiple multifaceted firms usually working together within specific industry sectors (e.g. grains, beef, wool, dairy) to satisfy an increasingly globalised market demand for high value food products. In so doing, the groupings of companies involved in an agri-food chain undertake activities that require multidimensional inter-organisational and cross organisational decision-making in the process of adding value to a raw commodity product through the production, manufacturing and distribution stages of the chain. Additional complexity is added by climate variability which impacts randomly and unpredictably on decision making in every component of the chain. The work outlined in this paper is a pilot investigation looking at a number of approaches to conceptualising and modelling an agri-food chain and its related decision making processes to better evaluate the impact and effects of that decision making and associated information flows across the components of the agri-food chains. The modelling approaches were (i) a multimedia model initially explored as an opportunity to visualise supply and value chain issues for educational purposes; (ii) an agent based model (ABM) using deterministic rules to architecturally synthesise a supply chain, and (iii) a baysian belief network (BBN) which we discuss as an approach for looking at the likelihood of certain decisions being made under certain scenarios.

description: We have shown that Earth-mass planets could survive in variously restricted regions of the habitable zones (HZs) of most of a sample of nine of the 102 main-sequence exoplanetary systems confirmed by 19 November 2003. In a preliminary extrapolation of our results to the other systems, we estimate that roughly a half of these systems could have had an Earth-mass planet confined to the HZ for at least the most recent 1000 Ma. The HZ migrates outwards during the main-sequence lifetime, and so this proportion varies with stellar age. About two thirds of the systems could have such a planet confined to the HZ for at least 1000 Ma at sometime during the main-sequence lifetime. Clearly, these systems should be high on the target list for exploration for terrestrial planets. We have reached this conclusion by launching putative Earth-mass planets in various orbits and following their fate with mixed-variable symplectic and hybrid integrators. Whether the Earth-mass planets could form in the HZs of the exoplanetary systems is an urgent question that needs further study.

description: Simulation tools are playing an increasingly important role in materials science and engineering and beyond their well established importance in research and development, these tools have a significant pedagogical potential. We describe a set of online simulation tools and learning modules designed to help students explore important concepts in materials science where hands-on activities with high-fidelity simulations can provide insight not easily acquired otherwise. The online tools, which involve density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations, have been designed with non-expert end-users in mind and only a few clicks are required to perform most simulations, yet they are powered by research-grade codes and expert users can access advanced options. All tools and modules are available for online simulation in nanoHUB.org and access is open and free of charge. Importantly, instructors and students do not need to download or install any software. The learning modules cover a range of topics from electronic structure of crystals and doping, plastic deformation in metals, and physical properties of polymers. These modules have been used in several core undergraduate courses at Purdue's School of Materials Engineering, they are self contained, and are easy to incorporate into existing classes.
