description: Multi-agent reinforcement learning was performed in this study for indoor path planning of two unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Each UAV performed the task of moving as fast as possible from a randomly paired initial position to a goal position in an environment with obstacles. To minimize training time and prevent the damage of UAVs, learning was performed by simulation. Considering the non-stationary characteristics of the multi-agent environment wherein the optimal behavior varies based on the actions of other agents, the action of the other UAV was also included in the state space of each UAV. Curriculum learning was performed in two stages to increase learning efficiency. A goal rate of 89.0% was obtained compared with other learning strategies that obtained goal rates of 73.6% and 79.9%.

description: LOFT (Large Observatory For x-ray Timing) is one of the four missions selected in 2011 for assessment study for the ESA M3 mission in the Cosmic Vision program, expected to be launched in 2024. The LOFT mission will carry two instruments with their prime sensitivity in the 2-30 keV range: a 10 m^2 class large area detector (LAD) with a <1° collimated field of view and a wide field monitor (WFM) instrument based on the coded mask principle, providing coverage of more than 1/3 of the sky. The LAD will provide an effective area ~20 times larger than any previous mission and will by timing studies be able to address fundamental questions about strong gravity in the vicinity of black holes and the equation of state of nuclear matter in neutron stars. The prime goal of the WFM will be to detect transient sources to be observed by the LAD. However, with its wide field of view and good energy resolution of <300 eV, the WFM will be an excellent monitoring instrument to study long term variability of many classes of X-ray sources. The sensitivity of the WFM will be 2.1 mCrab in a one day observation, and 270 mCrab in 3s in observations of in the crowded field of the Galactic Center. The high duty cycle of the instrument will make it an ideal detector of fast transient phenomena, like X-ray bursters, soft gamma repeaters, terrestrial gamma flashes, and not least provide unique capabilities in the study of gamma ray bursts. A dedicated burst alert system will enable the distribution to the community of ~100 gamma ray burst positions per year with a ~1 arcmin location accuracy within 30 s of the burst. This paper provides an overview of the design, configuration, and capabilities of the LOFT WFM instrument.

We establish the existence of a positive solution using the change of variable and variational methods under appropriate assumptions on $g$, $h$ and $a$.

description: Despite decades of advances in magnetic imaging, obtaining direct, quantitative information with nanometer scale spatial resolution remains an outstanding challenge. Recently, a new technique has emerged that employs a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect in diamond as an atomic-size magnetometer. Although NV magnetometry promises significant advances in magnetic imaging, the effectiveness of the technique, when applied to realistic magnetic nanostructures, remains to be demonstrated. Here we use a scanning NV magnetometer to image a magnetic vortex, which is one of the most iconic object of nanomagnetism, owing to the small size (~10 nm) of the vortex core. We report three-dimensional, vectorial, and quantitative measurements of the stray magnetic field emitted by a vortex in a ferromagnetic square dot, including the detection of the vortex core. We find excellent agreement with micromagnetic simulations, both for regular vortex structures and for higher-order magnetization states. These experiments establish scanning NV magnetometry as a practical and unique tool for fundamental studies in nanomagnetism.

description: С самого своего возникновения города представляют особый интерес для исследователей в целях осмысления специфики жизни в них: что образует город? что в городской жизни является привлекательным или, наоборот, отталкивающим? что меняется в человеке в условиях городского проживания? В статье проанализированы взгляды учёных различных эпох о городах сквозь призму жизни городских детей и семей. В обзор вовлечены научные труды от основателей социологических исследований городов до современных учёных, изучающих особенности общества, перешагнувшего рубеж индустриальной эпохи и вступающего в постиндустриальные реалии. Автор стремится выявить взаимосвязи между объективными условиями проживания в городах и субъективными факторами, формирующими особое социальное пространство городов. Отмечается, что в городах, кроме объективных обстоятельств жизни (характер основной занятости населения, особенности жилья и организации повседневной жизни, проведения досуга и т. д.), формируются характеристики субъективного свойства – отношения жителей между собой, которые выступают в качестве основного коммуникационного фона, модели взаимодействия и факторы социализации детей в городах. Посредством сравнительного анализа прослеживаются параллели в исследовательских идеях классиков социологии города и современных учёных. В их трудах имплицируются различия по характеристикам материальных основ возникновения и существования городов, а также аналогии по характеристикам взаимодействия его участников, процессу формирования идентичности и связанным с субъективными факторами преобразованиям в городской среде. В результате рефлексии теоретических источников делается вывод о зависимости перспектив развития города от комфортной жизни горожан, в том числе городских детей и семей. Современные тенденции городского развития свидетельствуют о формирующейся новой модели городов («умные города»), которая реализуема не только благодаря технологическим инновациям в городское пространство, но и при активном, деятельном участии городских жителей. В итоге размышлений представлено оригинальное определение понятия «город».

description: Agglomerative clustering is a well established strategy for identifying communities in networks. Communities are successively merged into larger communities, coarsening a network of actors into a more manageable network of communities. The order in which merges should occur is not in general clear, necessitating heuristics for selecting pairs of communities to merge. We describe a hierarchical clustering algorithm based on a local optimality property. For each edge in the network, we associate the modularity change for merging the communities it links. For each community vertex, we call the preferred edge that edge for which the modularity change is maximal. When an edge is preferred by both vertices that it links, it appears to be the optimal choice from the local viewpoint. We use the locally optimal edges to define the algorithm: simultaneously merge all pairs of communities that are connected by locally optimal edges that would increase the modularity, redetermining the locally optimal edges after each step and continuing so long as the modularity can be further increased. We apply the algorithm to model and empirical networks, demonstrating that it can efficiently produce high-quality community solutions. We relate the performance and implementation details to the structure of the resulting community hierarchies. We additionally consider a complementary local clustering algorithm, describing how to identify overlapping communities based on the local optimality condition.

description: Исследование посвящено визуальной репрезентации этнокультурных сообществ города в особом жанре антропологического кино – этнографическом фильме. В качестве предмета анализа выступает проект «ЭтноКино» (автор – реж. И. А. Головнёв), рассматриваемый в качестве площадки коммуникаций активных городских этнокультурных групп в духе концепции «города для людей» (Ян Гейл) и «гетерогенного пространства» (М. де Серто, М. Фуко). Развивая предложенный взгляд, автор уделяет основное внимание роли двух тематических фильмов проекта – «Страна тысячи холмов» (2016, реж. Иван Пономарёв) и «Евразиец» (2018, реж. Иван Головнёв) – в репрезентации городской идентичности и городского пространства. Обращение к подобному материалу на современном этапе, с одной стороны, высвечивает особость художественного дискурса городской идентичности, с другой – позволяет рассмотреть городскую идентичность как регулятор этнокультурного и миграционного поведения. Анализ упомянутых фильмов показывает, что они являются примечательным примером визуализации дискурсивного освоения городского пространства, сочетающего в себе разные нарративы о городе с акцентом на личностном опыте его переживания.

description: Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are flashes of high-energy radiation arising from energetic cosmic explosions. Bursts of long (>2 s) duration are produced by the core-collapse of massive stars, those of short (< 2 s) duration by the merger of two neutron stars (NSs). A third class of events with hybrid high-energy properties was identified, but never conclusively linked to a stellar progenitor. The lack of bright supernovae rules out typical core-collapse explosions, but their distance scales prevent sensitive searches for direct signatures of a progenitor system. Only tentative evidence for a kilonova has been presented. Here we report observations of the exceptionally bright GRB211211A that classify it as a hybrid event and constrain its distance scale to only 346 Mpc. Our measurements indicate that its lower-energy (from ultraviolet to near-infrared) counterpart is powered by a luminous (~1E42 erg/s) kilonova possibly formed in the ejecta of a compact binary merger.

description: Interesting magnetic properties and spin-exchange interactions along various possible pathways in half-integral spin quantum magnetic tetramer system: A$_{2}$PO$_{4}$OH (A = Co, Cu) are investigated. Interplay of structural distortion and the magnetic properties with the evolution of localized band structure explain the gradual transition from a three-dimensional antiferromagnet to a low-dimensional frustrated magnetic system along the series. Detailed study of exchange mechanism in this system explores various possibilities of complex magnetic interaction. Electronic structure of this series, studied with the help of different appropriate density-functional approaches like N-th order Muffin-Tin orbital(NMTO) and Planewave Pseudopotential calculations incorporating onsite Coulomb repulsion(U), identifies the underlying magnetic exchange mechanism of this series. Thereafter a generalized minimal model spin-Hamiltonian is constructed for the low-dimensional system. Solution of this model Hamiltonian within first order perturbation theory results into the evaluation of spin-gap in the spin-tetramer system. In addition, the effects of size-confinement and volume reduction on the relevant exchange integrals and spin-gap of the low-dimensional system are also discussed.

description: Using hydrodynamic simulations, we investigate the physical properties of gaseous substructures in barred galaxies and their relationships with the bar strength. The gaseous medium is assumed to be isothermal and unmagnetized. The bar potential is modeled as a Ferrers prolate with index n. To explore situations with differing bar strength, we vary the bar mass fbar relative to the spheroidal component as well as its aspect ratio. We derive expressions as functions of fbar and the aspect ratio for the bar strength Qb and the radius r(Qb) where the maximum bar torque occurs. When applied to observations, these expressions suggest that bars in real galaxies are most likely to have fbar=0.25-0.5 and n<1. Dust lanes approximately follow one of x1-orbits and tend to be more straight under a stronger and more elongated bar, but are insensitive to the presence of self-gravity. A nuclear ring of a conventional x2 type forms only when the bar is not so massive or elongated. The radius of an x2-type ring is generally smaller than the inner Lindblad resonance, decreases systematically with increasing Qb, and slightly larger when self-gravity is included. This evidences that the ring position is not determined by the resonance but by the amount of angular momentum loss at dust-lane shocks. Nuclear spirals exist only when the ring is of the x2-type and sufficiently large in size. Unlike the other features, nuclear spirals are transient in that they start out as being tightly-wound and weak, and then due to the nonlinear effect unwind and become stronger until turning into shocks, with an unwinding rate higher for larger Qb. The mass inflow rate to the galaxy center is found to be less than 0.01 Msun/yr for models with Qb<0.2, while becoming larger than 0.1 Msun/yr when Qb>0.2 and self-gravity is included.

Creators: name: Brooke, Cannon
Publisher: name: Western Washington University

description:
This study examines the changes in partisan distribution across the states of the Rocky Mountain West. Previous research on realignment explained the movement of states toward the Democratic Party as an issue-based phenomenon and fracturing of the party in power. Specifically, research from scholars such as V.O Key and Sundquist find that a critical juncture normally triggers change in party system. This study tests whether the secular realignment in the region may perhaps be better explained by demographics. A longitudinal case study along with Lijphart's most similar design system will be used to consider three demographic variables to test if they affect voting trends: the migration of liberal voters moving to the region from California; percent of Hispanic/Latino voters present in the state and the number of Mormon/Catholic adherents in the region. The hypothesis that this is a demographic realignment and not issue-based is confirmed, although, further research on the migration from other parts of the United States and its impact on the region must be considered as well. My findings suggest that instead of voters abandoning their political ideology/party affiliation, what is occurring in the Rocky Mountain Region, is a watering down effect of Republican voters - tipping the balance in favor of the Democratic Party.
Critical properties of the Anderson transition in random graphs: two-parameter scaling theory, Kosterlitz-Thouless type flow and many-body localization

description: The Anderson transition in random graphs has raised great interest, partly because of its analogy with the many-body localization (MBL) transition. Unlike the latter, many results for random graphs are now well established, in particular the existence and precise value of a critical disorder separating a localized from an ergodic delocalized phase. However, the renormalization group flow and the nature of the transition are not well understood. In turn, recent works on the MBL transition have made the remarkable prediction that the flow is of Kosterlitz-Thouless type. Here we show that the Anderson transition on graphs displays the same type of flow. Our work attests to the importance of rare branches along which wave functions have a much larger localization length $ξ_\parallel$ than the one in the transverse direction, $ξ_\perp$. Importantly, these two lengths have different critical behaviors: $ξ_\parallel$ diverges with a critical exponent $ν_\parallel=1$, while $ξ_\perp$ reaches a finite universal value ${ξ_\perp^c}$ at the transition point $W_c$. Indeed, $ξ_\perp^{-1} \approx {ξ_\perp^c}^{-1} + ξ^{-1}$, with $ξ\sim (W-W_c)^{-ν_\perp}$ associated with a new critical exponent $ν_\perp = 1/2$, where $\exp( ξ)$ controls finite-size effects. The delocalized phase inherits the strongly non-ergodic properties of the critical regime at short scales, but is ergodic at large scales, with a unique critical exponent $ν=1/2$. This shows a very strong analogy with the MBL transition: the behavior of $ξ_\perp$ is identical to that recently predicted for the typical localization length of MBL in a phenomenological renormalization group flow. We demonstrate these important properties for a smallworld complex network model and show the universality of our results by considering different network parameters and different key observables of Anderson localization.

description: In this paper, we will give convergence analysis for a family of 14-node elements which was proposed by I. M. Smith and D. J. Kidger in 1992. The 14 DOFs are taken as the value at the eight vertices and six face-centroids. For second-order elliptic problem, we will show that among all the Smith-Kidger 14-node elements, Type 1, Type 2 and type 5 elements can get the optimal convergence order and Type 6 get lower convergence order. Motivated by the proof, we also present a new 14-node nonconforming element. If we change the DOFs into the value at the eight vertices and the integration value of six faces, we show that Type 1, Type 2 and Type 5 keep the optimal convergence order and Type 6 element improve one order accuracy which means that it also get optimal convergence order.

description: This paper provides parametric and rank-based optimal tests for eigenvectors and eigenvalues of covariance or scatter matrices in elliptical families. The parametric tests extend the Gaussian likelihood ratio tests of Anderson (1963) and their pseudo-Gaussian robustifications by Davis (1977) and Tyler (1981, 1983). The rank-based tests address a much broader class of problems, where covariance matrices need not exist and principal components are associated with more general scatter matrices. The proposed tests are shown to outperform daily practice both from the point of view of validity as from the point of view of efficiency. This is achieved by utilizing the Le Cam theory of locally asymptotically normal experiments, in the nonstandard context, however, of a curved parametrization. The results we derive for curved experiments are of independent interest, and likely to apply in other contexts.

description: In many ways, traveling can be viewed as an unnecessary luxury that only causes our environment more harm. Not only because of the transportation to our destinations but also due to the tremendous amounts of energy it takes to maintain our place of lodging. Many luxury resorts and hotels are designed with over-the-top pools, landscapes, and decor, giving little consideration to how such features affect our planet. This thesis demonstrates how to eliminate the negative impact of such establishments by designing a luxury resort that is also regenerative. In the process, we will explore construction techniques, materiality, interior design, and landscaping methods to ensure that the final resort is as environmentally friendly as possible.Furthermore, while most resorts are located in highly developed regions where access to electricity and water supply are readily accessible, this resort will be constructed in the Chihuahuan Desert near Big Bend National Park in Texas. This desolate location emphasizes that regenerative design is possible even in areas where resources are extremely scarce. The desert is often seen as dull and lifeless but, in reality, its natural beauty and solitude offer a unique experience that would be an ideal destination for a resort. However, it is important that this resort does not impede on this natural beauty but rather enhances it. To accomplish this, consideration will be given to historic Native American construction methods in the region. They often constructed homes using what the land provided them with. By using this tactic as inspiration, it will allow this resort to become part of the landscape rather than forging a new one on the site. In the end, with this thesis, we will explore the means to design a desert resort where humans, wildlife, and plant life can flourish with a positive impact on the environment.

description: Статья посвящена исследованию проблемы идентичности представителей молодого поколения. Автор даёт краткую характеристику молодёжи с позиции социологического подхода, называя одним из критериев отнесения индивида к данной социальной группе критерий самоидентификации. В статье описаны этапы и механизмы формирования идентичности, особое внимание уделяется соотношению социальных и личностных механизмов. Компоненты социальной памяти – человек как носитель информации, циркулирующая в социуме информация, текущая социальная практика и механизмы актуализации информации в обществе – рассматриваются в контексте их влияния на идентичность в целом и региональную идентичность в частности. Анализируя взаимозависимость процессов формирования идентичности и социальной памяти, автор делает вывод об опасности «отключения» социальной памяти у молодого поколения, о необходимости выявления рисков трансформационных искажений и управления ими, называет возможные причины неэффективности явных механизмов формирования идентичности. Исследовать региональную идентичность молодого поколения можно через изучение миграционных установок, выявление отношения молодых людей к патриотическому воспитанию, их знаний о региональной символике и памятниках культуры. Эти переменные можно не только исследовать, но и влиять на них через те или иные компоненты социальной памяти.

description: Background: Hand-held fetal Doppler monitors are accessible to non-health professional users. Midwifery concerns around the use of Doppler monitors by pregnant women centre on the risk of false reassurance in the context of decreased fetal movements. However, the drivers for pregnant women to use fetal Doppler monitors and how they use them are unknown. Objectives: This research aimed to fill a knowledge gap by asking pregnant women their reasons for accessing hand-held fetal Doppler monitors, how and when they used them and the supports they accessed for information. Methods: Participants were recruited via lead maternity care and core midwives. Interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview schedule, and data from interview transcripts were thematically analysed. Results: Pregnant women who access hand-held Doppler monitors do so to manage anxieties around pregnancy and to take charge of their own health and wellbeing. They source their information via peer groups and peer-developed content online. Women's perceptions of professional support from LMCs varied from not supportive, to generally supportive. Conclusion: More research on the use of fetal monitoring technology by pregnant women is needed to support midwives in supporting women, particularly in the first half of pregnancy. Key message: The main driver for the use of fetal Doppler monitors by pregnant women is a method of alleviating anxieties in the first half of pregnancy prior to the awareness of fetal movements.

description: We present the simulator we developed for the Wide Field Monitor (WFM) aboard the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT) mission, one of the four ESA M3 candidate missions considered for launch in the 2022-2024 timeframe. The WFM is designed to cover a large FoV in the same bandpass as the Large Area Detector (LAD, almost 50% of its accessible sky in the energy range 2-50 keV), in order to trigger follow-up observations with the LAD for the most interesting sources. Moreover, its design would allow to detect transient events with fluxes down to a few mCrab in 1-day exposure, for which good spectral and timing resolution would be also available (about 300 eV FWHM and 10 μs, respectively). In order to investigate possible WFM configurations satisfying these scientific requirements and assess the instrument performance, an end-to-end WFM simulator has been developed. We can reproduce a typical astrophysical observation, taking into account both mask and detector physical properties. We will discuss the WFM simulator architecture and the derived instrumental response.

description: Deep learning has become one of remote sensing scientists' most efficient computer vision tools in recent years. However, the lack of training labels for the remote sensing datasets means that scientists need to solve the domain adaptation problem to narrow the discrepancy between satellite image datasets. As a result, image segmentation models that are then trained, could better generalize and use an existing set of labels instead of requiring new ones. This work proposes an unsupervised domain adaptation model that preserves semantic consistency and per-pixel quality for the images during the style-transferring phase. This paper's major contribution is proposing the improved architecture of the SemI2I model, which significantly boosts the proposed model's performance and makes it competitive with the state-of-the-art CyCADA model. A second contribution is testing the CyCADA model on the remote sensing multi-band datasets such as WorldView-2 and SPOT-6. The proposed model preserves semantic consistency and per-pixel quality for the images during the style-transferring phase. Thus, the semantic segmentation model, trained on the adapted images, shows substantial performance gain compared to the SemI2I model and reaches similar results as the state-of-the-art CyCADA model. The future development of the proposed method could include ecological domain transfer, {\em a priori} evaluation of dataset quality in terms of data distribution, or exploration of the inner architecture of the domain adaptation model.

description: We study the proximity effect in a topological nanowire tunnel coupled to an s-wave superconducting substrate. We use a general Green's function approach that allows us to study the evolution of the Andreev bound states in the wire into Majorana fermions. We show that the strength of the tunnel coupling induces a topological transition in which the Majorana fermionic states can be destroyed when the coupling is very strong. Moreover, we provide a phenomenologial study of the effects of disorder in the superconductor on the formation of Majorana fermions. We note a non-trivial effect of a quasiparticle broadening term which can take the wire from a topological into a non-topological phase in certain ranges of parameters. Our results have also direct consequences for a nanowire coupled to an inhomogenous superconductor.

description: В статье речь идёт об условиях возникновения массового общественного движения по охране историко-культурного наследия в позднесоветский период истории нашего Отечества. Анализируется деятельность Всероссийского общества охраны памятников истории и культуры (ВООПИиК) на территории Вологодской области по поиску, учёту и охране историко-культурного наследия исторических городов, по сохранению градостроительной роли архитектурных памятников и взаимосвязи архитектурного памятника с исторически сложившимся окружающим ландшафтом. Выясняются формы работы вологодской общественности по этому направлению в сотрудничестве с различными организациями: Центральным Советом ВООПИиК, исполнительным комитетом областного Совета депутатов, исполкомами горсоветов, республиканскими и союзными министерствами и ведомствами, проектными и научно-исследовательскими организациями, творческими союзами. В статье рассматриваются источники формирования финансовых ресурсов ВООПИиК, объёмы финансирования реставрационных работ и работ по консервации историко-архитектурных памятников за счёт средств ВООПИиК, а также объёмы финансирования историко-архитектурных памятников на территории Вологодской области и её отдельных исторических городов. Благодаря инициативе Всероссийского общества охраны памятников истории и культуры были разработаны рекомендации по застройке исторических городов, налажен общественный контроль за постановкой памятников на учёт, их содержанием, установлены охранные зоны памятников. Автор показывает, что результаты деятельности ВООПИиК позволили расширить список исторических городов, спасти от разрушения многие памятники архитектурно-исторического наследия и тем самым сохранить местный уровень идентичности во всей её уникальности и многослойности.
Level occupation switching with density functional theory

description: The charge transport properties of zero-temperature multi-orbital quantum dot systems with one dot coupled to leads and the other dots coupled only capacitatively are studied within density functional theory. It is shown that the setup is equivalent to an effective single impurity Anderson model. This allows to understand the level occupation switching effect as transitions between ground states of different integer occupations in the uncoupled dots. Level occupation switching is very sensitive to small energy differences and therefore also to the details of the parametrized exchange-correlation functionals. An existing functional already captures the effect on a qualitative level but we also provide an improved parametrization which is very accurate when compared to reference numerical renormalization group results.

description: Social Networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok have created a rampant increase in user-generated content online. Moderation and validation of misinformation on these platforms are still significant challenges. One approach to address misinformation on social media has been to crowdsource the validity of content through the platform users. However, research conducted on crowdsourced fact-checking has focused largely on traditional and text-based sources. In addition, it has yet to focus on user-centered design to understand how users of platforms would create tools to mitigate misinformation. This thesis addresses these knowledge gaps by understanding approaches to using crowdsourcing to combat misinformation on TikTok, the fastest-growing social networking site with over one billion monthly active users. By using TikTok as a case study, I conduct a thematic analysis of content on the platform to understand how users currently counter claims and misinformation and then conduct participatory design sessions with TikTok users to identify limitations, improvements, and potential solutions. Based on these findings, I present a set of design guidelines referred to as the PAIR approach that outline key considerations for a crowdsourcing platform combatting misinformation on a social networking site such as TikTok.

description: In a recent series of papers, the class of energy-conserving Runge-Kutta methods named Hamiltonian BVMs (HBVMs) has been defined and studied. Such methods have been further generalized for the efficient solution of general conservative problems, thus providing the class of Line Integral Methods (LIMs). In this paper we derive a further extension, which we name Enhanced Line Integral Methods (ELIMs), more tailored for Hamiltonian problems, allowing for the conservation of multiple invariants of the continuous dynamical system. The analysis of the methods is fully carried out and some numerical tests are reported, in order to confirm the theoretical achievements.
