description: This article explores the intricate relationship between European history and the formation of European identity, focusing on the House of European History in Brussels as a case study. It delves into how the House of European History portrays historical narratives and symbols to shape a collective European identity, reflecting on the challenges and opportunities in this endeavour. Through analysing exhibitions, narratives, and the museum's role in fostering a sense of belonging and understanding among Europeans, the article sheds light on the complex interplay between history, memory, and identity in the European context.

description: A rigorous free energy model for ternary fluid flows with density ratio up to of order $O(10^3)$ is presented and implemented using the entropic lattice Boltzmann scheme. The model is thermodynamically consistent and allows a broad range of surface tension ratios, covering both partial wetting states where Neumann triangles are formed, and full wetting states where complete encapsulation of one of fluid components is observed. We further demonstrate that we can capture the bouncing, adhesive and insertive regimes for the binary collisions between immiscible droplets suspended in air. Our approach opens up a vast range of multiphase flow applications involving one gas and several liquid components.

description: Deception is helpful for agents masking their intentions from an observer. We consider a team of agents deceiving their supervisor. The supervisor defines nominal behavior for the agents via reference policies, but the agents share an alternate task that they can only achieve by deviating from these references. As such, the agents use deceptive policies to complete the task while ensuring that their behaviors remain plausible to the supervisor. We propose a setting with centralized deceptive policy synthesis and decentralized execution. We model each agent with a Markov decision process and constrain the agents' deceptive policies so that, with high probability, at least one agent achieves the task. We then provide an algorithm to synthesize deceptive policies that ensure the deviations of all agents are small by minimizing the worst Kullback-Leibler divergence between any agent's deceptive and reference policies. Thanks to decentralization, this algorithm scales linearly with the number of agents and also facilitates the efficient synthesis of reference policies. We then explore a more general version of the deceptive policy synthesis problem. In particular, we consider a supervisor who selects a subset of agents to eliminate based on the agents' behaviors. We give algorithms to synthesize deceptive policies so that, after the supervisor eliminates some agents, the remaining agents complete the task with high probability. We demonstrate the developed methods in a package delivery example.

description: The heavy mass limit of quark models based on the Bakamjian-Thomas cons\-truction reveals remarkable features. In addition to previously demonstrated properties of covariance and Isgur-Wise scaling, exact duality, leading to the Bjorken-Isgur-Wise sum rule, is proven, for the first time to our knowledge in relativistic quark models. Inelastic as well as elastic contributions to the sum rule are then discussed in terms of ground state averages of a few number of operators corresponding to the nonrelativistic dipole operator and various relativistic corrections.

Continuous Global Optimization in Surface Reconstruction from an Oriented Point Cloud

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Graphics (cs.GR)

description: We introduce a continuous global optimization method to the field of surface reconstruction from discrete noisy cloud of points with weak information on orientation. The proposed method uses an energy functional combining flux-based data-fit measures and a regularization term. A continuous convex relaxation scheme assures the global minima of the geometric surface functional. The reconstructed surface is implicitly represented by the binary segmentation of vertices of a 3D uniform grid and a triangulated surface can be obtained by extracting an appropriate isosurface. Unlike the discrete graph-cut solution, the continuous global optimization entails advantages like memory requirements, reduction of metrication errors for geometric quantities, allowing globally optimal surface reconstruction at higher grid resolutions. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed method on several oriented point clouds captured by laser scanners. Experimental results confirm that our approach is robust to noise, large holes and non-uniform sampling density under the condition of very coarse orientation information.
Geometrical Evidence for Dark Matter: X-ray Constraints on the Mass of the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 720

description: (shortened for babbage) We describe (1) a new test for dark matter and alternate theories of gravitation based on the relative geometries of the X-ray and optical surface brightness distributions and an assumed form for the potential of the optical light, (2) a technique to measure the shapes of the total gravitating matter and dark matter of an ellipsoidal system which is insensitive to the precise value of the temperature of the gas and to modest temperature gradients, and (3) a method to determine the ratio of dark mass to stellar mass that is dependent on the functional forms for the visible star, gas and dark matter distributions, but independent of the distance to the galaxy or the gas temperature. We apply these techniques to X-ray data from the ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) of the optically-flattened elliptical galaxy NGC 720. The X-ray isophotes are significantly elongated, $ε= 0.20 - 0.30$ (90% confidence) for semi-major axis $a\sim 100\arcsec$. The major axes of the optical and X-ray isophotes are misaligned by $\sim 30°\pm 15°$ (90% confidence). We conclude that matter distributed like the optical light cannot produce the observed ellipticities of the X-ray isophotes independent of the gas pressure, the gas temperature, and the value of the stellar mass.

description: In contrast to simple monatomic alkali and halide ions, complex polyatomic ions like nitrate, acetate, nitrite, chlorate etc. have not been studied in any great detail. Experiments have shown that diffusion of polyatomic ions exhibits many remarkable anomalies, notable among them is the fact that polyatomic ions with similar size show large difference in their diffusivity values. This fact has drawn relatively little interest in scientific discussions. We show here that a mode-coupling theory (MCT) can provide a physically meaningful interpretation of the anomalous diffusivity of polyatomic ions in water, by including the contribution of rotational jumps on translational friction. The two systems discussed here, namely aqueous nitrate ion and aqueous acetate ion, although have similar ionic radii exhibit largely different diffusivity values due to the differences in the rate of their rotational jump motions. We have further verified the mode-coupling theory formalism by comparing it with experimental and simulation results that agrees well with the theoretical prediction.

description: Current light-cone wave functions for the nucleon are unsatisfactory since they are in conflict with the data of the nucleon's Dirac form factor at large momentum transfer. Therefore, we attempt a determination of a new wave function respecting theoretical ideas on its parameterization and satisfying the following constraints: It should provide a soft Feynman contribution to the proton's form factor in agreement with data; it should be consistent with current parameterizations of the valence quark distribution functions and lastly it should provide an acceptable value for the $\jp \to N \bar N$ decay width. The latter process is calculated within the modified perturbative approach to hard exclusive reactions. A simultaneous fit to the three sets of data leads to a wave function whose $x$-dependent part, the distribution amplitude, shows the same type of asymmetry as those distribution amplitudes constrained by QCD sum rules. The asymmetry is however much more moderate as in those amplitudes. Our distribution amplitude resembles the asymptotic one in shape but the position of the maximum is somewhat shifted.

description: Partition functions of quantum critical systems, expressed as conformal thermal tensor networks, are defined on various manifolds which can give rise to universal entropy corrections. Through high-precision tensor network simulations of several quantum chains, we identify the universal entropy $S_{\mathcal{K}} = \ln{k}$ on the Klein bottle, where $k$ relates to quantum dimensions of the primary fields in conformal field theory (CFT). Different from the celebrated Affleck-Ludwig boundary entropy $\ln{g}$ ($g$ reflects non-integer groundstate degeneracy), $S_{\mathcal{K}}$ has \textit{no} boundary dependence or surface energy terms accompanied, and can be very conveniently extracted from thermal data. On the Möbius-strip manifold, we uncover an entropy $S_{\mathcal{M}} = \frac{1}{2} (\ln{g} + \ln{k})$ in CFT, where $\frac{1}{2} \ln{g}$ is associated with the only open edge of the Möbius strip, and $\frac{1}{2} \ln{k}$ with the non-orientable topology. We employ $S_{\mathcal{K}}$ to accurately pinpoint the quantum phase transitions, even for those without local order parameters.

description: We quantitatively compare a particle implementation of the adhesion approximation to fully non--linear, numerical nbody simulations. Our primary tool, cross--correlation of nbody simulations with the adhesion approximation, indicates good agreement, better than that found by the same test performed with the Zel'dovich approximation (hereafter ZA). However, the cross--correlation is not as good as that of the truncated Zel'dovich approximation (TZA), obtained by applying the Zel'dovich approximation after smoothing the initial density field with a Gaussian filter. We confirm that the adhesion approximation produces an excessively filamentary distribution. Relative to the nbody results, we also find that: (a) the power spectrum obtained from the adhesion approximation is more accurate than that from ZA or TZA, (b) the error in the phase angle of Fourier components is worse than that from TZA, and (c) the mass distribution function is more accurate than that from ZA or TZA. It appears that adhesion performs well statistically, but that TZA is more accurate dynamically, in the sense of moving mass to the right place.

description: In the absence of external forcing, all trajectories on the phase plane of the van der Pol oscillator tend to a closed, periodic, trajectory -- the limit cycle -- after infinite time. Here, we drive the van der Pol oscillator with an external time-dependent force to reach the limit cycle in a given finite time. Specifically, we are interested in minimising the non-conservative contribution to the work when driving the system from a given initial point on the phase plane to any final point belonging to the limit cycle. There appears a speed limit inequality, which expresses a trade-off between the connection time and cost -- in terms of the non-conservative work. We show how the above results can be { generalized to the broader family of non-linear oscillators given by} the Liénard equation. Finally, we also look into the problem of minimising the total work done by the external force.

description: The Stark resonance parameters for the $3a_{1}$ molecular orbital of H$_{2}$O are computed by solving a system of partial differential equations in spherical polar coordinates. The starting point of the calculation is the quantum potential derived for this orbital from a single-center expanded Hartree-Fock orbital. The resonance positions and widths are obtained after applying an exterior complex scaling technique to describe the ionization regime for external fields applied along the two distinct $\hat{z}$ directions associated with the symmetry axis. The procedure thus avoids the computation of multi-center integrals, yet takes into account the geometric shape of a simplified molecular orbital in the field-free case.

description: We analyze the dilepton and photon emission rates from a hadronic gas using chiral reduction formulas and a virial expansion. The emission rates are reduced to pertinent vacuum correlation functions, most of which can be assessed from experiment. Our results indicate that in the low mass region, the dilepton and photon rates are enhanced compared to most of the calculations using chiral Lagrangians. The enhancement is further increased through a finite pion chemical potential. An estimate of the emission rates is also made using Haag's expansion for the electromagnetic current. The relevance of these results to dilepton and photon emission rates in heavy-ion collisions is discussed.

description: We show experimentally how quantum interference can be produced using an integrated quantum system comprising an arch-shaped short quantum wire (or quantum point contact, QPC) of 1D electrons and a reflector forming an electronic cavity. On tuning the coupling between the QPC and the electronic cavity, fine oscillations are observed when the arch QPC is operated in the quasi-1D regime. These oscillations correspond to interference between the 1D states and a state which is similar to the Fabry-Perot state and suppressed by a small transverse magnetic field of 60mT. Tuning the reflector, we find a peak in resistance which follows the behavior expected for a Fano resonance. We suggest that this is an interesting example of a Fano resonance in an open system which corresponds to interference at or near the Ohmic contacts due to a directly propagating, reflected discrete path and the continuum states of the cavity corresponding to multiple scattering. Remarkably, the Fano factor shows an oscillatory behavior taking peaks for each fine oscillation, thus, confirming coupling between the discrete and continuum states. The results indicate that such a simple quantum device can be used as building blocks to create more complex integrated quantum circuits for possible applications ranging from quantum-information processing to realizing the fundamentals of complex quantum systems.

description: The interaction of objects with a moving solidification front is a common feature of many industrial and natural processes such as metal processing, the growth of single-crystals, the cryopreservation of cells, or the formation of sea ice. Solidification fronts interact with objects with different outcomes, from the total rejection to their complete engulfment. We image the freezing of emulsions in 5D (space, time, and solute concentration) with confocal microscopy. We show the solute induces long-range interactions that determine the solidification microstructure. The local increase of solute concentration enhances premelting, which controls the engulfment of droplets by the front and the evolution of grain boundaries. Freezing emulsions may be a good analogue of many solidification systems where objects interact with a solidification interface.

The Gravitational Lens System B1422$+$231: Dark Matter, Superluminal Expansion and the Hubble Constant

description: A gravitational lens model of the radio quasar B1422+231 is presented which can account for the image arrangement and approximately for the relative magnifications. The locations of the principal lensing mass and a more distant secondary mass concentration were predicted and subsequently luminous galaxies were found at these locations. This argues against the existence of substantial numbers of ``dark'' galaxies. The model suggests that if the compact radio source is intrinsically superluminal then the observed component motions may be as large as ~100c with image B moving in the opposite direction to images A and C. The prospects for a measuring the Hubble constant from a model incorporating lens galaxy locations, compact radio source expansion speeds and radio time delays, if and when these are measured, are briefly assessed.

description: We analyse the probability distribution functions of the energy and magnetisation of the two-dimensional Blume-Capel and Baxter-Wu models with spin values $S \in \{1/2,1, 3/2\}$ in the presence of a crystal field $Δ$. By employing extensive single-spin flip Monte Carlo simulations and a recently developed method of studying the zeros of the energy probability distribution we are able to probe, with a good numerical accuracy, several critical characteristics of the transitions. Additionally, the universal aspects of these transitions are scrutinised by computing the corresponding probability distribution functions. The energy distribution has been underutilised in the literature when compared to that of the magnetisation. Somewhat surprisingly, however, the former appears to be more robust in characterising the universality class for both models upon varying the crystal field $Δ$ than the latter. Finally, our analysis suggests that in contrast to the Blume-Capel ferromagnet, the Baxter-Wu model appears to suffer from strong finite-size effects, especially upon increasing $Δ$ and $S$, that obscure the application of traditional finite-size scaling approaches.

description: We study the decay $B_c \rightarrow D_s^* γ$. There are two mechanisms contributing to the process. One proceeds through the short distance $b{\rightarrow}sγ$ transition and the other occurs through weak annihilation accompanied by a photon emission.The electromagnetic penguin contribution is estimated by perturbative QCD and found to be $4.68\times10^{-18}$ GeV. In particular, we find the contribution of the weak annihilation is $6.25\times10^{-18}GeV$ which is in the same order as that of the electromagnetic penguin. The total decay rate $Γ(B_c \rightarrow D_s^* γ)$ is predicted to be $1.45\times10^{-17}GeV$ and the branching ratio $Br(B_c \rightarrow D_s^* γ)$ is predicted to be $2.98\times 10^{-5}$ for $τ_{B_c}=1.35ps$. The the decays $B_c \rightarrow D_s^* γ$ can be well studied at LHC in the near future.

description: This letter presents results of new high resolution $Ω=1$ Cold + Hot Dark Matter (CHDM) and Cold Dark Matter (CDM) simulations. Properties of groups in these simulations reflect the lower small-scale velocities and the greater tendency to form distinct filaments on both small and large scales in CHDM as compared to CDM. The fraction of galaxies in groups and the median group rms velocity are found to be powerful discriminators between models. We combine these two features into a very robust statistic, median group rms velocity $v_{\rm gr}(f_{\rm gr})$ as a function of the fraction $f_{\rm gr}$ of galaxies in groups. Using this statistic, we compare ``observed'' simulations to CfA data in redshift space in a careful and consistent way. We find that CHDM remains a promising model, with for example $v_{\rmgr}(0.45) \approx 125 \pm 25 \kms$ in agreement with the CfA data, while CDM with bias b=1.0 (COBE-compatible) or b=1.5, both giving $v_{\rm gr}(0.45) \approx 400 \pm 25 \kms$, can be virtually ruled out. Using median $M/L$, the observed value of $Ω$ is $0.10$ (CHDM) to $0.38$ (CDM).

description: The linear dilaton geometry in five dimensions, rediscovered recently in the continuum limit of the clockwork model, may offer a solution to the hierarchy problem which is qualitatively different from other extra-dimensional scenarios and leads to distinctive signatures at the LHC. We discuss the structure of the theory, in particular aspects of naturalness and UV completion, and then explore its phenomenology, suggesting novel strategies for experimental searches. In particular, we propose to analyze the diphoton and dilepton invariant mass spectra in Fourier space in order to identify an approximately periodic structure of resonant peaks. Among other signals, we highlight displaced decays from resonantly-produced long-lived states and high-multiplicity final states from cascade decays of excited gravitons.

description: Hydrogels are cross-linked hydrophilic polymer networks that find application in biomedical and pharmaceutical industries due to their unique properties. Polyvinyl alcohol is a synthetic polymer, potential biomaterial blended with various materials and compounds, that can provide new options for drug delivery systems. Determination of photochemical properties of naproxen and tryptophan immobilized in polyvinyl alcohol and two other media: water and cyclohexane was performed using UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence methods. The influences of the media used on the spectral properties of naproxen and tryptophan have been shown.

Structures of Neutrino Flavor Mixing Matrix and Neutrino Oscillations at CHORUS and NOMAD

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have studied structures of the neutrino flavor mixing matrix focusing on the neutrino oscillations at CHORUS and NOMAD as well as the one at LSND(or KARMEN). We have assumed two typical neutrino mass hierarchies $m_3\simeq m_2\gg m_1$ and $m_3\gg m_2\gg m_1({\rm or}\simeq m_1)$. Taking into account the see-saw mechanism of neutrino masses, the reasonable neutrino flavor mixing patterns have been discussed. The observation of the neutrino oscillation at CHORUS and NOMAD presents us the important constraint for the structure of the neutrino flavor mixing matrix. The atomospheric neutrino anomaly has been discussed in relation to the CHORUS and NOMAD experiments.

description: This paper presents a novel and comprehensive solution to enhance both the robustness and efficiency of question answering (QA) systems through supervised contrastive learning (SCL). Training a high-performance QA system has become straightforward with pre-trained language models, requiring only a small amount of data and simple fine-tuning. However, despite recent advances, existing QA systems still exhibit significant deficiencies in functionality and training efficiency. We address the functionality issue by defining four key tasks: user input intent classification, out-of-domain input detection, new intent discovery, and continual learning. We then leverage a unified SCL-based representation learning method to efficiently build an intra-class compact and inter-class scattered feature space, facilitating both known intent classification and unknown intent detection and discovery. Consequently, with minimal additional tuning on downstream tasks, our approach significantly improves model efficiency and achieves new state-of-the-art performance across all tasks.

description: The experience of interacting with robots is becoming a more pervasive part of our day-to-day life. When considering the experience of interacting with other technologies and artefacts, interaction with robots presents a distinct and potentially unique component: physical connection. Robots share our physical space; this is a prominent part of the interaction experience. Robots offer a lifelike presence and the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) issues go beyond the traditional interactions of more passive technologies and artefacts. The attention paid to HRI has grown dramatically as robotic systems have become more capable and as human contact with those systems has become more commonplace [1]. Immediately recognizable, culturally ubiquitous, androids, cyborgs, and robots, need no introduction. Yet their very familiarity obscures their participation in culture and media, and our perennial fascination with such artificial humans when seen on the screen. While robots are growing more capable of many tasks, people are often hesitant at introducing technology into older, more traditional art forms. However, robots of varying kinds are appearing with increasing frequency in all manner of cinematic productions [2]. Robots and artificial humans have been a staple of our sci-fi screen experiences, however, unlike previous technology such as smartphones or laptops, robots are currently being given more character roles in films. Therefore, like animated characters, audiences are beginning to anthropomorphize and have emotional experiences with the robot characters. This paper attempts to unpack how humans see these artificial humans and how we interpret their representation in cinema through a discussion of the use of ‘physical’ robots as a natural next stage of cinema performance and drama. The paper presents and experiment involving cyborg performances in a series of short films. In this study, participants attended a screening where they viewed these films, and their responses to, and feelings about, the films were measured. It was hypothesized that film audiences have become comfortable with seeing robots in sci-fi films over the years. Therefore, it is expected that current and future audiences will begin to give these robot characters human attributes such as gender.

description: We present an X-ray imaging and spectroscopic study of the molecular cloud interacting mixed-morphology (MM) supernova remnant (SNR) G346.6-0.2 using XMM-Newton. The X-ray spectrum of the remnant is well described by a recombining plasma that most likely arises from adiabatic cooling, and has sub-solar abundances of Mg, Si, and S. Our fits also suggest the presence of either an additional power-law component with a photon index of $\sim$2, or an additional thermal component with a temperature of $\sim$2.0 keV. We investigate the possible origin of this component and suggest that it could arise from either the Galactic ridge X-ray emission, an unidentified pulsar wind nebula or X-ray synchrotron emission from high-energy particles accelerated at the shock. However, deeper, high resolution observations of this object are needed to shed light on the presence and origin of this feature. Based on its morphology, its Galactic latitude, the density of the surrounding environment and its association with a dense molecular cloud, G346.6-0.2 most likely arises from a massive progenitor that underwent core-collapse.

Mechanism of anchoring proteins on the cell envelope
Creators: name: Pietraszek, Patrycja
name: Walczak, Piotr
Publisher: name: Biotechnology and Food Science
Year: 2019

description: Surface proteins, essential structural components of bacterial cell wall, are synthesized as precursors equipped with specific functional domains. The N-terminal signal module enables translocation across the plasma membrane via Sec or Tat pathways, while sorting motif, located in the C terminus, is responsible for protein attachment to the cell wall peptidoglycan. Only exception are lipoproteins which lipoylated cysteinyl residue connected with bacterial membrane is in N-terminal part of protein. Most of surface proteins, as surface (S-) layer proteins, internalins or autolysins, are linked to the different structures of cell wall through non covalent forces. From the other hand, molecules with LPXTG motif, which attachment involves sortase activity, are linked to the peptidoglycan by covalent bond. Due to structural, chemical and physicochemical properties, surface proteins are attractive components of diverse industrial or medical systems. Knowledge about mechanism of anchoring proteins to the cell envelope will open new possibility of their applications.

Solar Neutrinos: What We Have Learned

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1993

description: The four operating solar neutrino experiments confirm the hypothesis that the energy source for solar luminosity is hydrogen fusion. However, the measured rate for each of the four solar neutrino experiments differs significantly (by factors of 2.0 to 3.5) from the corresponding theoretical prediction that is based upon the standard solar model and the simplest version of the standard electroweak theory. If standard electroweak theory is correct, the energy spectrum for \b8 neutrinos created in the solar interior must be the same (to one part in $10^5$) as the known laboratory \b8 neutrino energy spectrum. Direct comparison of the chlorine and the Kamiokande experiments, both sensitive to \b8 neutrinos, suggests that the discrepancy between theory and observations depends upon neutrino energy, in conflict with standard expectations. Monte Carlo studies with 1000 implementations of the standard solar model confirm that the chlorine and the Kamiokande experiments cannot be reconciled unless new weak interaction physics changes the shape of the \b8 neutrino energy spectrum. The results of the two gallium solar neutrino experiments strengthen the conclusion that new physics is required and help determine a relatively small allowed region for the MSW neutrino parameters.

Virtual Borders: Accurate Definition of a Mobile Robot's Workspace Using Augmented Reality

description: We address the problem of interactively controlling the workspace of a mobile robot to ensure a human-aware navigation. This is especially of relevance for non-expert users living in human-robot shared spaces, e.g. home environments, since they want to keep the control of their mobile robots, such as vacuum cleaning or companion robots. Therefore, we introduce virtual borders that are respected by a robot while performing its tasks. For this purpose, we employ a RGB-D Google Tango tablet as human-robot interface in combination with an augmented reality application to flexibly define virtual borders. We evaluated our system with 15 non-expert users concerning accuracy, teaching time and correctness and compared the results with other baseline methods based on visual markers and a laser pointer. The experimental results show that our method features an equally high accuracy while reducing the teaching time significantly compared to the baseline methods. This holds for different border lengths, shapes and variations in the teaching process. Finally, we demonstrated the correctness of the approach, i.e. the mobile robot changes its navigational behavior according to the user-defined virtual borders.
