description: Bibliographic and co-citation coupling are two analytical methods widely used to measure the degree of similarity between scientific papers. These approaches are intuitive, easy to put into practice, and computationally cheap. Moreover, they have been used to generate a map of science, allowing visualizing research field interactions. Nonetheless, these methods do not work unless two papers share a standard reference, limiting the two papers usability with no direct connection. In this work, we propose to extend bibliographic coupling to the deep neighborhood, by using graph diffusion methods. This method allows defining similarity between any two papers, making it possible to generate a local map of science, highlighting field organization.

description: We study AAK-type meromorphic approximants to functions $F$, where $F$ is a sum of a rational function $R$ and a Cauchy transform of a complex measure $λ$ with compact regular support included in $(-1,1)$, whose argument has bounded variation on the support. The approximation is understood in $L^p$-norm of the unit circle, $p\geq2$. We obtain that the counting measures of poles of the approximants converge to the Green equilibrium distribution on the support of $λ$ relative to the unit disk, that the approximants themselves converge in capacity to $F$, and that the poles of $R$ attract at least as many poles of the approximants as their multiplicity and not much more.

description: The reliable {\it ab-initio} description of strongly correlated materials is a long-sought capability in condensed matter physics. The $GW$+EDMFT method is a promising scheme, which provides a self-consistent description of correlations and screening, and does not require user-provided parameters. In order to test the reliability of this approach we apply it to the experimentally well characterized perovskite compound Ca$_2$RuO$_4$, in which a temperature-dependent structural deformation drives a paramagnetic metal-insulator transition. Our results demonstrate that the nonlocal polarization and self-energy components introduced by $GW$ are essential for setting the correct balance between interactions and bandwidths, and that the $GW$+EDMFT scheme produces remarkably accurate predictions of the electronic properties of this strongly correlated material.

description: A creative image-and-text generative AI system mimics humans' extraordinary abilities to provide users with diverse and comprehensive caption suggestions, as well as rich image creations. In this work, we demonstrate such an AI creation system to produce both diverse captions and rich images. When users imagine an image and associate it with multiple captions, our system paints a rich image to reflect all captions faithfully. Likewise, when users upload an image, our system depicts it with multiple diverse captions. We propose a unified multi-modal framework to achieve this goal. Specifically, our framework jointly models image-and-text representations with a Transformer network, which supports rich image creation by accepting multiple captions as input. We consider the relations among input captions to encourage diversity in training and adopt a non-autoregressive decoding strategy to enable real-time inference. Based on these, our system supports both diverse captions and rich images generations. Our code is available online.

The classical point-electron in Colombeau's theory of nonlinear generalized functions
Creators: name: Gsponer, Andre
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The electric and magnetic fields of a pole-dipole singularity attributed to a point-electron-singularity in the Maxwell field are expressed in a Colombeau algebra of generalized functions. This enables one to calculate dynamical quantities quadratic in the fields which are otherwise mathematically ill-defined: The self-energy (i.e., `mass'), the self-angular momentum (i.e., `spin'), the self-momentum (i.e., `hidden momentum'), and the self-force. While the total self-force and self-momentum are zero, therefore insuring that the electron-singularity is stable, the mass and the spin are diverging integrals of delta-squared-functions. Yet, after renormalization according to standard prescriptions, the expressions for mass and spin are consistent with quantum theory, including the requirement of a gyromagnetic ratio greater than one. The most striking result, however, is that the electric and magnetic fields differ from the classical monopolar and dipolar fields by delta-function terms which are usually considered as insignificant, while in a Colombeau algebra these terms are precisely the sources of the mechanical mass and spin of the electron-singularity.

The SiPMs were irradiated using a beam of 212 MeV protons at Massachusetts General Hospital, receiving fluences of up to $3 \times 10^{10}$ protons per cm$^2$ with the SiPMs at operating voltage. Leakage currents were read continuously during the irradiation. The delivery of the protons was paused periodically to record scope traces in response to calibrated light pulses to monitor the gains, photon detection efficiencies, and dark counts of the SiPMs. The leakage current and dark noise are found to increase with fluence. Te leakage current is found to be proportional to the mean square deviation of the noise distribution, indicating the dark counts are due to increased random individual pixel activation, while SiPMs remain fully functional as photon detectors. The SiPMs are found to anneal at room temperature with a reduction in the leakage current by a factor of 2 in about 100 days.

description: New results which correlate SUSY dark matter with LHC signals are presented, and a brief review of recent developments in supersymmetric and hidden sector dark matter is given. It is shown that the direct detection of dark matter is very sensitive to the hierarchical SUSY sparticle spectrum and the spectrum is very useful in distinguishing models. It is shown that the prospects of the discovery of neutralino dark matter are very bright on the "Chargino Wall" due to a copious number of model points on the Wall, where the NLSP is the Chargino, and the spin independent neutralino-proton cross section is maintained at high values in the $10^{-44}$cm$^{2}$ range for neutralino masses up to $\sim 850$ GeV . It is also shown that the direct detection of dark matter along with lepton plus jet signatures and missing energy provide dual, and often complementary, probes of supersymmetry. Finally, we discuss an out of the box possibility for dark matter, which includes dark matter from the hidden sector, which could either consist of extra weakly interacting dark matter (a Stino XWIMP), or milli-charged dark matter arising from the Stueckelberg extensions of the MSSM or the SM.

description: This thesis aims to understand the role of the international community in the protection of children born of wartime rape (CBOW), the gaps in these protections, the difficulties and risks they experience, the existing solutions and means of protection and those that should exist. For a long time invisible, CBOW deserve to have their rights protected and defended like any other children. In order to effectively analyze this topic, this study begins by analyzing the phenomenon at the root of the problem: conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). The way in which classical theories are no longer sufficient to understand the problem and view, the need to add other factors to the analysis of what really drives CRSV: the influence of armed organizations and different patterns of violence. Throughout the holistic and interdisciplinary approach adopted in this study, we have acknowledged some developments that deserve recognition in filling some of the protection gaps of CBOW, but we are forced to conclude that there is still a lot to be done to ensure that these children are treated as children, entitled to their rights.

description: High mass proto-stars create Ultra-Compact Hii regions (UCHII) at the stage of evolution when most of the accretion is finished but the star is still heavily embedded in molecular material. The morphologies of UCHII regions reflect the interactions of stellar winds, stellar motions, and density structure in the molecular cloud; they are complex and it has been very difficult to interpret them. We here present data obtained with TEXES on the NASA IRTF of the [NeII] emission line in the proto-cluster of young OB stars in W33 Main. The data cube has a spatial resolution of ~ 1.4 arcsec and true velocity resolution ~ 5 km/s; with A ~ 0.02Av it is relatively unaffected by extinction. We have run 3D hydrodynamic and line profile simulations, using PLUTO and RADMC-3D, of the gas structures created by multiple windy stars moving relative to each other through the ambient cloud. By iterative comparison of the data cube and the simulations, we arrive at models that reproduce the different morphology and kinematic structure of each UCHII region in W33 Main. The results indicate that each sub-source probably holds multiple exciting stars, permitting an improved view of the stellar population, and finds the stellar trajectories, which may determine the dynamical development of the proto-cluster.

description: Light bosons can be found in large classes of theories beyond the Standard Model. These light bosons may not be ruled out by current experiments and, indeed, may even provide an explanation for some anomalous experimental results. The radiative decays of quarkonium ($c \bar c, b \bar b$) states offer a promising opportunity to investigate such light bosons. Specifically, we investigate the reach that current CLEO data can have on models with light scalar and pseudoscalar bosons.

description: Screening mechanisms allow light scalar fields to dynamically avoid the constraints that come from our lack of observation of a long-range fifth force. Galactic scale tests are of particular interest when the light scalar is introduced to explain the dark matter or dark energy that dominates our cosmology. To date, much of the literature that has studied screening in galaxies has described screening using simplifying approximations. In this work, we calculate numerical solutions for scalar fields with screening mechanisms in galactic contexts, and use these to derive new, precise conditions governing where fifth forces are screened. We show that the commonly used binary screened/unscreened threshold can predict a fifth force signal in situations where a fuller treatment does not, leading us to conclude that existing constraints might be significantly overestimated. We show that various other approximations of the screening radius provide a more accurate proxy to screening, although they fail to exactly reproduce the true screening surface in certain regions of parameter space. As a demonstration of our scheme, we apply it to an idealised Milky Way and thus identify the region of parameter space in which the solar system is screened.

description: Value at Risk (VaR) is a quantitative measure used to evaluate the risk linked to the potential loss of investment or capital. Estimation of the VaR entails the quantification of prospective losses in a portfolio of investments, using a certain likelihood, under normal market conditions within a specific time period. The objective of this paper is to construct a model and estimate the VaR for a diversified portfolio consisting of multiple cash commodity positions driven by standard Brownian motions and jump processes. Subsequently, a thorough analytical estimation of the VaR is conducted for the proposed model. The results are then applied to two distinct commodities -- corn and soybean -- enabling a comprehensive comparison of the VaR values in the presence and absence of jumps.

description: KernelHaven is an open infrastructure for Software Product Line (SPL) analysis. It is intended both as a production-quality analysis tool set as well as a research support tool, e.g., to support researchers in systematically exploring research hypothesis. For flexibility and ease of experimentation KernelHaven components are plug-ins for extracting certain information from SPL artifacts and processing this information, e.g., to check the correctness and consistency of variability information or to apply metrics. A configuration-based setup along with automatic documentation functionality allows different experiments and supports their easy reproduction. Here, we describe KernelHaven as a product line analysis research tool and highlight its basic approach as well as its fundamental capabilities. In particular, we describe available information extraction and processing plug-ins and how to combine them. On this basis, researchers and interested professional users can rapidly conduct a first set of experiments. Further, we describe the concepts for extending KernelHaven by new plug-ins, which reduces development effort when realizing new experiments.

description: Electromagnetic wave propagation inside isotropic material media characterized by dielectric coefficients $\varepsilon_{μν}(E,B)$ and $μ_{μν}(E,B)$ is examined. The regime of the eikonal approximation is considered. The Hadamard method of field disturbances is used and the dispersion relations are obtained by solving the Fresnel equation. Some applications of the formalism are presented. Particularly, birefringence phenomena induced by applied external fields are derived and discussed. It is shown that magnetoelectric birefringence effect can occur even without the presence of Kerr and Cotton-Mouton effects, provided the physical system satisfies certain conditions.

Long-term X-ray evolution of SDSS J134244.4+053056.1: A more than 18 year-old, long-lived IMBH-TDE candidate

description: SDSS J134244.4+053056 is a tidal disruption event candidate with strong temporal coronal line emitters and a long fading, mid-infrared dust echo. We present detailed analyses of X-ray emission from a Swift/XRT observation in 2009 and the most recent XMM-Newton/pn observation in 2020. The two spectra can be modeled with hard and soft components. While no significant variability is detected in the hard component above 2 keV between these two observations, the soft X-ray emission in 0.3-2 keV varies by a factor of $\sim5$. The luminosity of this soft component fades from $\sim1.8\times10^{41}$ to $\sim3.7\times10^{40}$ erg s$^{-1}$ from the observation in Swift to that of XMM-Newton, which are 8 and 19 years after the outburst occurred, respectively. The evolution of luminosity matches with the $t^{-5/3}$ decline law well; there is a soft X-ray peak luminosity of 10$^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$ at the time of the optical flare. Furthermore, the spectra of the soft component harden slightly in the decay phase, in which the photon index $Γ$ varies from $4.8^{+1.2}_{-0.9}$ to $3.7\pm0.5$, although they are consistent with each other if we consider the uncertainties. Additionally, by comparing the BH mass estimate between the $M-σ$ correlation, the broad H$α$ emission, and the fundamental plane relation of BH accretion, we find that a value of $\sim10^{5}$Msun is favored. If so, taking its X-ray spectral variation, luminosity evolution, and further support from theory into account, we suggest that SDSS J134244.4+053056 is a long-lived tidal disruption event candidate lasting more than 18 years with an intermediate-mass black hole.

description: We discuss the role of mass loss for the evolution of the most massive stars, highlighting the role of the predicted bi-stability jump that might be relevant for the evolution of rotational velocities during or just after the main sequence. This mechanism is also proposed as an explanation for the mass-loss variations seen in the winds from Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs). These might be relevant for the quasi-sinusoidal modulations seen in a number of recent transitional supernovae (SNe), as well as for the double-throughed absorption profile recently discovered in the Halpha line of SN 2005gj. Finally, we discuss the role of metallicity via the Z-dependent character of their winds, during both the initial and final (Wolf-Rayet) phases of evolution, with implications for the angular momentum evolution of the progenitor stars of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).

description: We explore a cosmological model inspired by the modified Kaniadakis entropy and disclose the influences of the modified Friedmann equations on the evolution of the Universe. We find that in modified Kaniadakis cosmology with only pressure-less matter, one can reproduce the accelerated Universe without invoking any kind of dark energy. We delved into the evolution of the Universe during the radiation-dominated era as well. We also investigate the behavior of the scale factor and the deceleration parameter for a multiple-component Universe consisting of pressure-less matter and a cosmological constant/dark energy. Interestingly enough, the predicted age of the Universe in the modified Kaniadakis cosmology becomes larger compared to the standard cosmology which may alleviate the age problem. Furthermore, The findings reveal that in the modified Kaniadakis cosmology, the transition from a decelerated phase to an accelerated Universe occurs at higher redshifts compared to the standard cosmology. These results shed light on the potential implications of incorporating Kaniadakis entropy into cosmological models and provide valuable insights into the behavior of the Universe in different cosmological scenarios. Moreover, they emphasize the crucial role of modifications to the geometry component and the significance of such modifications in understanding the dynamics of the Universe.

description: We give two results for computing doubly-twisted conjugacy relations in free groups with respect to homomorphisms $ϕ$ and $ψ$ such that certain remnant words from $ϕ$ are longer than the images of generators under $ψ$. Our first result is a remnant inequality condition which implies that two words $u$ and $v$ are not doubly-twisted conjugate. Further we show that if $ψ$ is given and $ϕ$, $u$, and $v$ are chosen at random, then the probability that $u$ and $v$ are not doubly-twisted conjugate is 1. In the particular case of singly-twisted conjugacy, this means that if $ϕ$, $u$, and $v$ are chosen at random, then $u$ and $v$ are not in the same singly-twisted conjugacy class with probability 1. Our second result generalizes Kim's "bounded solution length". We give an algorithm for deciding doubly-twisted conjugacy relations in the case where $ϕ$ and $ψ$ satisfy a similar remnant inequality. In the particular case of singly-twisted conjugacy, our algorithm suffices to decide any twisted conjugacy relation if $ϕ$ has remnant words of length at least 2. As a consequence of our generic properties we give an elementary proof of a recent result of Martino, Turner, and Ventura, that computes the densities of injective and surjective homomorphisms from one free group to another. We further compute the expected value of the density of the image of a homomorphism.

description: The thermodynamics of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the vicinity of infinite temperature is explicitly solved in the microcanonical ensemble by means of large-deviation techniques. A first-order phase transition between a thermalized phase and a condensed (localized) one occurs at the infinite-temperature line. Inequivalence between statistical ensembles characterizes the condensed phase, where the grand-canonical representation does not apply. The control over finite size corrections of the microcanonical partition function allows to design an experimental test of delocalized negative-temperature states in lattices of cold atoms.

description: The aim of this thesis was to investigate some important key factors able to promote the prospected growth of the aquaculture sector.
The limited availability of fishmeal and fish oil led the attention of the aquafeed industry to reduce the dependency on marine raw materials in favor of vegetable ingredients. In Chapter 2, we reported the effects of fishmeal replacement by a mixture of plant proteins in turbot (Psetta maxima L.) juveniles. At the end of the trial, it was found that over the 15% plant protein inclusion can cause stress and exert negative effects on growth performance and welfare.
Climate change aroused the attention of the aquafeed industry toward the production of specific diets capable to counteract high temperatures. In Chapter 3, we investigated the most suitable dietary lipid level for gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) reared at Mediterranean summer temperature. In this trial, it was highlighted that 18% dietary lipid allows a protein sparing effect, thus making the farming of this species economically and environmentally more sustainable.
The introduction of new farmed fish species makes necessary the development of new species-specific diets. In Chapter 4, we assessed growth response and feed utilization of common sole (Solea solea L.) juveniles fed graded dietary lipid levels. At the end of the trial, it was found that increasing dietary lipids over 8% led to a substantial decline in growth performance and feed utilization indices. In Chapter 5, we investigated the suitability of mussel meal as alternative ingredient in diets for common sole juveniles. Mussel meal proved to be a very effective alternative ingredient for enhancing growth performance, feed palatability and feed utilization in sole irrespectively to the tested inclusion levels.
This thesis highlighted the importance of formulating more specific diets in order to support the aquaculture growth in a sustainable way.

description: We provide a rigorous analysis of the quantum optimal control problem in the setting of a linear combination $s(t)B+(1-s(t))C$ of two noncommuting Hamiltonians $B$ and $C$. This includes both quantum annealing (QA) and the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA). The target is to minimize the energy of the final ``problem'' Hamiltonian $C$, for a time-dependent and bounded control schedule $s(t)\in [0,1]$ and $t\in \mc{I}:= [0,t_f]$. It was recently shown, in a purely closed system setting, that the optimal solution to this problem is a ``bang-anneal-bang'' schedule, with the bangs characterized by $s(t)= 0$ and $s(t)= 1$ in finite subintervals of $\mc{I}$, in particular $s(0)=0$ and $s(t_f)=1$, in contrast to the standard prescription $s(0)=1$ and $s(t_f)=0$ of quantum annealing. Here we extend this result to the open system setting, where the system is described by a density matrix rather than a pure state. This is the natural setting for experimental realizations of QA and QAOA. For finite-dimensional environments and without any approximations we identify sufficient conditions ensuring that either the bang-anneal, anneal-bang, or bang-anneal-bang schedules are optimal, and recover the optimality of $s(0)=0$ and $s(t_f)=1$. However, for infinite-dimensional environments and a system described by an adiabatic Redfield master equation we do not recover the bang-type optimal solution. In fact we can only identify conditions under which $s(t_f)=1$, and even this result is not recovered in the fully Markovian limit. The analysis, which we carry out entirely within the geometric framework of Pontryagin Maximum Principle, simplifies using the density matrix formulation compared to the state vector formulation.

description: Recent progress of nucleosynthesis work as well as the discovery of a kilonova associated with the gravitational-wave source GW170817 indicates that neutron star mergers (NSM) can be a site of the r-process. Several studies of galactic chemical evolution, however, have pointed out inconsistencies between this idea and the observed stellar abundance signatures in the Milky Way: (a) the presence of Eu at low (halo) metallicity and (b) the descending trend of Eu/Fe at high (disc) metallicity. In this study, we explore the galactic chemical evolution of the Milky Way's halo, disc and satellite dwarf galaxies. Particular attention is payed to the forms of delay-time distributions for both type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) and NSMs. The Galactic halo is modeled as an ensemble of independently evolving building-block galaxies with different masses. The single building blocks as well as the disc and satellite dwarfs are treated as well-mixed one-zone systems. Our results indicate that the aforementioned inconsistencies can be resolved and thus NSMs can be the unique r-process site in the Milky Way, provided that the delay-time distributions satisfy the following conditions: (i) a long delay (~1 Gyr) for the appearance of the first SN Ia (or a slow early increase of its number) and (ii) an additional early component providing >~ 50% of all NSMs with a delay of ~0.1 Gyr. In our model, r-process-enhanced and r-process-deficient stars in the halo appear to have originated from ultra-faint dwarf-sized and massive building blocks, respectively. Our results also imply that the natal kicks of binary neutron stars have a little impact on the evolution of Eu in the disc.

description: During the early stages of galaxy evolution, a significant fraction of galaxies undergo a transitional phase between the ``blue nugget" systems, which arise from the compaction of large, active star-forming disks, and the ``red nuggets", which are red and passive compact galaxies. These objects are typically only observable with space telescopes, and detailed studies of their size, mass, and stellar population parameters have been conducted on relatively small samples. Strong gravitational lensing can offer a new opportunity to study them in detail, even with ground-based observations. In this study, we present the first 6 \textit{bona fide} sample of strongly lensed post-blue nugget (pBN) galaxies, which were discovered in the Kilo Degree Survey. By using the lensing-magnified luminosity from optical and near-infrared bands, we have derived robust structural and stellar population properties of the multiple images of the background sources. \rui{The pBN galaxies have very small sizes of $\rm R_{eff}<1.3$ kpc, high mass density inside 1 kpc of $ \rm \log (Σ_1/M_{\odot} \mathrm{kpc}^{-2})>9.3$, and low specific star formation rates of $\log (\mathrm{sSFR/Gyr})\lesssim0$, The size-mass and $Σ_1$-mass relations of this sample are consistent with those of the red nuggets, while their sSFR is close to the lower end of compact star-forming blue nugget systems at the same redshift, suggesting a clear evolutionary link between them.

description: This paper tackles a recently proposed Video Corpus Moment Retrieval task. This task is essential because advanced video retrieval applications should enable users to retrieve a precise moment from a large video corpus. We propose a novel CONtextual QUery-awarE Ranking~(CONQUER) model for effective moment localization and ranking. CONQUER explores query context for multi-modal fusion and representation learning in two different steps. The first step derives fusion weights for the adaptive combination of multi-modal video content. The second step performs bi-directional attention to tightly couple video and query as a single joint representation for moment localization. As query context is fully engaged in video representation learning, from feature fusion to transformation, the resulting feature is user-centered and has a larger capacity in capturing multi-modal signals specific to query. We conduct studies on two datasets, TVR for closed-world TV episodes and DiDeMo for open-world user-generated videos, to investigate the potential advantages of fusing video and query online as a joint representation for moment retrieval.

Evaluation for decision in human service programs
Creators: name: Bruce, Peter K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The fundamental purpose of program evaluation is to gather information that will increase the rationality of decisionmaking. Yet there is ample evidence in the literature that evaluation findings are often ignored by decisionmakers. Why? Some suggest that evaluations are not providing relevant information to decisionmakers and that the manner in which evaluation is being carried out is discouraging the use of evaluation results. Practitioners in the field of evaluation have long recognized this problem of non-utilization. But attempts to correct the problem have in large measure focused on the final stage of the evaluation effort - the dissemination of results. A major premise of this thesis is that utility (as perceived by decisionmakers) must be built into each and every stage in the evaluation. It addresses the question, "How can evaluation be designed and implemented, and its findings disseminated in a way that will make it more utilitarian to decisionmakers?" The author identifies twenty-five concepts or 'Utility Principles' which hold promise to improve the usefulness of results to decisionmakers. To illustrate how these principles might be applied in a social action setting, a utility-focused evaluation model is designed for the Community Service Order Program of the British Columbia Corrections Branch. Finally, the limitations and opportunities of a utility-focused approach to evaluation are examined.

description: We present a comparative study of several molecular lines and of the dust contiunuum at 1.2mm in a pre-stellar core that is embedded in the Galactic cirrus cloud MCLD123.5+24.9. Previous studies found that the core is gravitationally stable and shows signs of inward motion. Using the Owens Valley (OVRO) and Plateau de Bure (PdB) interferometers we obtained high-angular resolution maps of the core in the carbon monosulfide CS 2-1 and the cyanoacetylene HC3N 10-9 transitions. Together with CS 5-4, C34S 3-2, and bolometer data obtained with the IRAM 30m telescope, we analyse the excitation conditions and the structural properties of the cloud. On the one hand, the new CS 2-1 observations reveal significant substructure on a scale of about 7", i.e., the beam size, corresponding to about 1050 AU at an adopted distance of 150pc. On the other hand, the interferometric observations in the HC3N 10-9 transition shows just one single well resolved clump in the inner part of the core. This core is well described by an intensity profile following from a centrally peaked volume density distribution. We find no evidence for depletion of CS onto dust grains. The inward motion seen in the CS 2-1 occurs one-sided from the middle of the filamentary cloud towards the HC3N core.
