description: The visual and non-visual effectiveness of light is often determined by measuring the spectrally weighed irradiance on the corneal plane. This is typically achieved using spectral irradiance or illuminance measurements, captured in a hemispheric (2π) geometry with a diffuser. However, the human binocular field of view (FOV) is not a perfect hemisphere, as it is occluded both upward and downward. Previous research on FOV-restricted measurements is limited, leaving the error from using hemispheric measurements for non-visual quantities undefined. In our study, we tackled this issue by designing and 3D printing FOV occlusions as attachments to spectral measurement devices. We took measurements with and without the occlusion in various laboratory (light from different directions) and real-world lighting situations (light typically from above). Our findings reveal a reduction of visual and melanopic values due to the FOV occlusion. These ranged from negligible to more than 60% in realistic scenarios. Interestingly, the reduction was consistent for both visual and melanopic parameters, as the distribution of light in the FOV was generally spectrally homogeneous. An exception occurred in a specific artificial laboratory situation, where the melanopic daylight (D65) efficacy ratio changed by more than a factor of 2 solely because of the FOV occlusion. Additionally, we observed that head orientation had a marked effect on all quantities measured. In conclusion, our results highlight the potential for substantial errors when solely relying on vertical, hemispheric measurements in experiments and non-visual lighting design projects. We encourage the (additional) use of FOV occlusion in eye-level measurements for typical viewing directions, and we are providing open-source 3D-print files to facilitate this practice.

description: Unveiling the community structure of networks is a powerful methodology to comprehend interconnected systems across the social and natural sciences. To identify different types of functional modules in interaction data aggregated in a single network layer, researchers have developed many powerful methods. For example, flow-based methods have proven useful for identifying modular dynamics in weighted and directed networks that capture constraints on flow in the systems they represent. However, many networked systems consist of agents or components that exhibit multiple layers of interactions. Inevitably, representing this intricate network of networks as a single aggregated network leads to information loss and may obscure the actual organization. Here we propose a method based on compression of network flows that can identify modular flows in non-aggregated multilayer networks. Our numerical experiments on synthetic networks show that the method can accurately identify modules that cannot be identified in aggregated networks or by analyzing the layers separately. We capitalize on our findings and reveal the community structure of two multilayer collaboration networks: scientists affiliated to the Pierre Auger Observatory and scientists publishing works on networks on the arXiv. Compared to conventional aggregated methods, the multilayer method reveals smaller modules with more overlap that better capture the actual organization.

description: Disagreements are frequently studied from the perspective of either detecting toxicity or analysing argument structure. We propose a framework of dispute tactics that unifies these two perspectives, as well as other dialogue acts which play a role in resolving disputes, such as asking questions and providing clarification. This framework includes a preferential ordering among rebuttal-type tactics, ranging from ad hominem attacks to refuting the central argument. Using this framework, we annotate 213 disagreements (3,865 utterances) from Wikipedia Talk pages. This allows us to investigate research questions around the tactics used in disagreements; for instance, we provide empirical validation of the approach to disagreement recommended by Wikipedia. We develop models for multilabel prediction of dispute tactics in an utterance, achieving the best performance with a transformer-based label powerset model. Adding an auxiliary task to incorporate the ordering of rebuttal tactics further yields a statistically significant increase. Finally, we show that these annotations can be used to provide useful additional signals to improve performance on the task of predicting escalation.

description: Our goal is to calculate the circular velocity curve of the Milky Way, along with corresponding uncertainties that quantify various sources of systematic uncertainty in a self-consistent manner. The observed rotational velocities are described as circular velocities minus the asymmetric drift. The latter is described by the radial axisymmetric Jeans equation. We thus reconstruct the circular velocity curve between Galactocentric distances from 5 kpc to 14 kpc using a Bayesian inference approach. The estimated error bars quantify uncertainties in the Sun's Galactocentric distance and the spatial-kinematic morphology of the tracer stars. As tracers, we used a sample of roughly 0.6 million stars on the red giant branch stars with six-dimensional phase-space coordinates from Gaia data release 3 (DR3). More than 99% of the sample is confined to a quarter of the stellar disc with mean radial, rotational, and vertical velocity dispersions of $(35\pm 18)\,\rm km/s$, $(25\pm 13)\,\rm km/s$, and $(19\pm 9)\,\rm km/s$, respectively. We find a circular velocity curve with a slope of $0.4\pm 0.6\,\rm km/s/kpc$, which is consistent with a flat curve within the uncertainties. We further estimate a circular velocity at the Sun's position of $v_c(R_0)=233\pm7\, \rm km/s$ and that a region in the Sun's vicinity, characterised by a physical length scale of $\sim 1\,\rm kpc$, moves with a bulk motion of $V_{LSR} =7\pm 7\,\rm km/s$. Finally, we estimate that the dark matter (DM) mass within 14 kpc is $\log_{10}M_{\rm DM}(R<14\, {\rm kpc})/{\rm M_{\odot}}= \left(11.2^{+2.0}_{-2.3}\right)$ and the local spherically averaged DM density is $ρ_{\rm DM}(R_0)=\left(0.41^{+0.10}_{-0.09}\right)\,{\rm GeV/cm^3}=\left(0.011^{+0.003}_{-0.002}\right)\,{\rm M_\odot/pc^3}$. In addition, the effect of biased distance estimates on our results is assessed.

description: We demonstrate exciton and charged exciton (trion) electroluminescence from frozen p-n junctions in networks of polymer-sorted, semiconducting (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes. Electrolyte-gating with an ionic liquid was employed to achieve injection and accumulation of high densities of holes and electrons in the nanotube network at low applied voltages. Static p-n junctions were formed by cooling the devices below the melting point of the ionic liquid while in the ambipolar regime. These frozen junctions showed diode-like rectification and enabled the investigation of electron-hole recombination and near-infrared electroluminescence under controlled conditions. The contributions of exciton and red-shifted trion emission to the electroluminescence spectra were influenced by the initial parameters of the p-n junction formation (balanced or unbalanced) and the applied lateral bias, but did not depend on temperature (30-200 K). The tilted potential profile along the fixed junction and consequently the number of excess carriers within the recombination zone were found to predominantly determine the emission intensity and observed trion to exciton ratio.

It follows two protagonists, Syren, the leader of the Rock City Crew and Quinn, their newest member. In a time where in the real world, QTBIPOC folks are having basic human rights questioned, debated and even stripped away, I have strived to use this thesis project to explore and examine a few key ideas. What does resistance look like when laws are being passed against us? What does community look like when we are out of spoons and out of money as we pass around the same $5 in mutual aid? How do we choose to wake up every day and live our full authentic selves and fight for our own rights and those of our peers, no matter the risk? These are the questions this thesis seeks to engage with.

description: Per the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, the information obtained from spin fluctuation studies in thermal equilibrium is necessarily constrained by the system's linear response functions. However, by including weak radiofrequency magnetic fields, we demonstrate that intrinsic and random spin fluctuations even in strictly unpolarized ensembles \emph{can} reveal underlying patterns of correlation and coupling beyond linear response, and can be used to study non-equilibrium and even multiphoton coherent spin phenomena. We demonstrate this capability in a classical vapor of $^{41}$K alkali atoms, where spin fluctuations alone directly reveal Rabi splittings, the formation of Mollow triplets and Autler-Townes doublets, ac Zeeman shifts, and even nonlinear multiphoton coherences.

description: ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND AIM

Basic trunk movement control is often impaired after stroke. Malfunction of limb muscles in stroke is well  documented, but little is known about the effect of stroke, in relation to trunk muscle activity. There have been  many interventions used for trunk control in stroke like PNF exercise, trunk exercise with physioball, core stability  exercise, etc. But there have been very few studies comparing trunk PNF exercise and core stability exercise. The  aim is to compare the effect of trunk PNF exercise and core stability exercise on trunk control, balance, and quality  of life in individuals with stroke.

 

METHOD

32 stroke individuals were taken for the study. They were randomly divided into two groups, Group-A received trunk PNF exercises along with conventional physiotherapy treatment and Group-B received core stability exercises along with conventional physiotherapy treatment, which was given 5 days a week for 4 weeks.

 

OUTCOMES

Trunk impairment scale, Berg balance scale, Stroke impact scale.

 

RESULT

After 4weeks of treatment, there was a statistically significant improvement found within group analysis (p<0.05) in  TIS, BBS and SIS score. But in between group analysis results were not statistically significant.

 

CONCLUSION

From the present study, it can be concluded that Trunk PNF exercise and Core stability exercise both are effective  in improving trunk control, balance and quality of life in stroke individuals.

description: Given a LHS (Lattice of Hilbert spaces) $V_J$ and a symmetric operator $A$ in $V_J$, in the sense of partial inner product spaces, we define a generalized resolvent for $A$ and study the corresponding spectral properties. In particular, we examine, with help of the KLMN theorem, the question of generalized eigenvalues associated to points of the continuous (Hilbertian) spectrum. We give some examples, including so-called frame multipliers.

description: Well-graded families, extremal systems and maximum systems (the last two in the sense of VC-theory and Sauer-Shelah lemma on VC-dimension) are three important classes of set systems. This paper aims to study the notion of duality in the context of these classes of set systems and then use the obtained results for studying graphs. More specifically, we are concerned with the characterization of the finite set systems which themselves and their dual systems are both well-graded, extremal or maximum. On the way to this goal, and maybe also of independent interest, we study the structure of the well-graded families with the property that the size of the system is not much bigger than the size of its essential domain, that is, the set of elements of the domain which are shattered by the system as single element subsets. As another target of the paper, we use the above results to characterize graphs whose set systems of open or closed neighbourhoods, cliques or independent sets are well-graded, extremal or maximum. We clarify the relation of such graphs to the celebrated half-graphs. Through the paper, we frequently relate our investigations to the VC-dimension of the systems. Also we use one-inclusion graphs associated to set systems as an important technical tool.

description: Significant advances have been made in species delimitation and numerous methods can test precisely defined models of speciation, though the synthesis of phylogeography and taxonomy is still sometimes incomplete. Emerging consensus treats distinct genealogical clusters in genome-scale data as strong initial evidence of speciation in most cases; a hypothesis that must therefore be falsified under an explicit evolutionary model. We can now test speciation hypotheses linking trait differentiation to specific mechanisms of divergence with increasingly large datasets. Integrative taxonomy can therefore reflect an understanding of how each axis of variation relates to underlying speciation processes, with nomenclature for distinct evolutionary lineages. We illustrate this approach here with Seal Salamanders (Desmognathus monticola) and introduce a new unsupervised machine-learning approach for species delimitation. Plethodontid salamanders are renowned for their morphological conservatism despite extensive phylogeographic divergence. We discover two geographic genetic clusters, for which demographic and spatial models of ecology and gene flow provide robust support for ecogeographic speciation despite limited phenotypic divergence. These data are integrated under evolutionary mechanisms (e.g., spatially localized gene flow with reduced migration) and reflected in emergent properties expected under models of reinforcement (e.g., ethological isolation and selection against hybrids). Their genetic divergence is prima facie evidence for species-level distinctiveness, supported by speciation models and divergence along axes such as behavior, geography, and climate that suggest an ecological basis with subsequent reinforcement through prezygotic isolation. As datasets grow more comprehensive, species delimitation models can be tested, rejected, or corroborated as explicit speciation hypotheses, providing for reciprocal illumination of evolutionary processes and integrative taxonomies.

Ο βασιλικός και πιο συγκεκριμένα ο πλατύφυλλος βασιλικός λόγω, των χρήσεών του είναι ένα από τα σημαντικότερα αρωματικά φυτά από οικονομικής απόψεως. Σήμερα καλλιεργείται πολύ εκτεταμένα στην χώρα μας αν και στην γειτονική μας Κύπρο αποτελεί μια σημαντική καλλιέργεια. Στην παρούσα εργασία αρχικά γίνεται μια ιστορική αναδρομή των αρωματικών φυτών και περιγράφεται η κατάσταση που επικρατεί στην Ελλάδα και την Κύπρο. Στην ανασκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας αναφέρονται οι καλλιεργητικές απαιτήσεις , συντήρηση, καθώς και η οικονομικότητα των αρωματικών φυτών, ειδικότερα του βασιλικού, με στόχο τη διερεύνηση της επέκτασης της καλλιέργειας και στη χώρα μιας. Στην εργασία αυτή μελετήθηκε η επίδραση του επιπέδου άρδευσης και της εποχής συγκομιδής στο αιθέριο έλαιο του βασιλικού. Ειδικότερα μελετήθηκαν τρία διαφορετικά επίπεδα άρδευσης σε δυο διαφορετικές εποχές συγκομιδής. Στα αντίστοιχα δείγματα έγινε ποσοτική ανάλυση του αιθέριου ελαίου με χρήση υδροαπόσταξης. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι η ποσότητα του αιθέριου ελαίου δεν επηρεάζεται σημαντικά από το επίπεδο άρδευσης αλλά ούτε από την εποχή συγκομιδής. Η μελέτη της επίδραση του επιπέδου άρδευσης στη βιομάζα του βασιλικού έδειξε πως η βιομάζα επηρεάζεται θετικά και σε σημαντικό βαθμό από τη ποσότητα του νερού. Τέλος, μελετήθηκε η απόδοση αιθέριου ελαίου σε δείγματα μετά από αποξήρανση με διαφορετικούς τρόπους. Με βάση την απόδοση σε αιθέριο έλαιο βρέθηκε ότι ο καλύτερος τρόπος αποξήρανσης είναι υπό σκιά δηλαδή το υπόστεγο με κεραμίδια.

description: This paper discusses about a sorting algorithm which uses the concept of buckets where each bucket represents a certain number of digits. A two dimensional data structure is used where one dimension represents buckets i. e; number of digits and each bucket's corresponding dimensions represents the input numbers that belong to that bucket. Each bucket is then individually sorted. Since every preceding bucket elements will always be smaller than the succeeding buckets no comparison between them is required. By doing this we can significantly reduced the time complexity of any sorting algorithm used to sort the given set of inputs.

description: Geographical location is a crucial element of humanitarian response, outlining vulnerable populations, ongoing events, and available resources. Latest developments in Natural Language Processing may help in extracting vital information from the deluge of reports and documents produced by the humanitarian sector. However, the performance and biases of existing state-of-the-art information extraction tools are unknown. In this work, we develop annotated resources to fine-tune the popular Named Entity Recognition (NER) tools Spacy and roBERTa to perform geotagging of humanitarian texts. We then propose a geocoding method FeatureRank which links the candidate locations to the GeoNames database. We find that not only does the humanitarian-domain data improves the performance of the classifiers (up to F1 = 0.92), but it also alleviates some of the bias of the existing tools, which erroneously favor locations in the Western countries. Thus, we conclude that more resources from non-Western documents are necessary to ensure that off-the-shelf NER systems are suitable for the deployment in the humanitarian sector.

description: This study aims to determine the research mapping regarding the Economic Value Added (EVA) ratio in Islamic and Conventional Banking using a mix-method approach, namely the VOSviewer bibliometric study and literature review. Data analysis techniques include: (1) mapping the distribution of journal publications around the EVA ratio; (2) mapping the results of the VOSviewer bibliometric visualization around the EVA ratio based on the number of clusters and their items; and (3) mapping research topics around the EVA ratio using a literature review study. The results showed that: (1) based on the distribution of journal publications, there were 679 journal publications regarding the EVA ratio; (2) based on the mapping of the VOSviewer bibliometric study, the network visualization results around the EVA ratio are divided into 3 clusters and 136 topic items; (3) based on the mapping of literature review studies, there are 34 topics around the influence of the EVA ratio and 30 topics about the determinants of the EVA ratio. The implications and contributions of this research are to map research topics around EVA ratios in Islamic and Conventional Banking which are often or rarely researched by researchers so that they can be a reference for subsequent researchers.

description: We develop the rheology of a dilute granular gas mixture. Motivated by the interaction of charged granular particles, we assume that the grains interact via a square shoulder and well potential. Employing kinetic theory, we compute the temperature and the shear viscosity as functions of the shear rate. Numerical simulations confirm our results above the critical shear rate. At a shear rate below a critical value, clustering of the particles occurs.

description: The ACL2 theorem prover is a complex system. Its libraries are vast. Industrial verification efforts may extend this base with hundreds of thousands of lines of additional modeling tools, specifications, and proof scripts. High quality documentation is vital for teams that are working together on projects of this scale. We have developed XDOC, a flexible, scalable documentation tool for ACL2 that can incorporate the documentation for ACL2 itself, the Community Books, and an organization's internal formal verification projects, and which has many features that help to keep the resulting manuals up to date. Using this tool, we have produced a comprehensive, publicly available ACL2+Books Manual that brings better documentation to all ACL2 users. We have also developed an extended manual for use within Centaur Technology that extends the public manual to cover Centaur's internal books. We expect that other organizations using ACL2 will wish to develop similarly extended manuals.

description: We investigate effect of a test magnetic field on the process of destroying near-extremal Kerr black hole with a charged test particle. It has been shown that it would be possible to throw a charged test particle into the near extremal rotating black hole and make it go past the extremality i.e. turn Kerr black hole into the Kerr-Newmann naked singularity. Typically in an astrophysical scenario black holes are believed to be surrounded by a magnetic field. Magnetic field although small, affects motion of charged particles drastically due to the large Lorentz force, as the electromagnetic force is much stronger that the gravity. Thus a test magnetic field can affect the process of destroying black holes and restore the cosmic censorship in the astrophysical context. We show that a test magnetic field would act as a cosmic censor beyond a certain threshold value. We try to gauge the magnitude of the magnetic field by comparing its energy density with that of the change in the curvature induced by the test particle. We find that the magnetic field required in only as strong as or slightly stronger as compared to the value for which its effect of the background geometry is comparable to the tiny backreaction as that of the test particle. In such a case however one has to take take into account effect of the magnetic field on the background geometry, which is difficult to implement in the absence of any exact near-extremal rotating magnetized black hole solutions. We argue that magnetic field would still act as a cosmic censor.

description: The Severi degree is the degree of the Severi variety parametrizing plane curves of degree d with delta nodes. Recently, Göttsche and Shende gave two refinements of Severi degrees, polynomials in a variable y, which are conjecturally equal, for large d. At y = 1, one of the refinements, the relative Severi degree, specializes to the (non-relative) Severi degree. We give a tropical description of the refined Severi degrees, in terms of a refined tropical curve count for all toric surfaces. We also refine the equivalent count of floor diagrams for Hirzebruch and rational ruled surfaces. Our description implies that, for fixed delta, the refined Severi degrees are polynomials in d and y, for large d. As a consequence, we show that, for delta <= 10 and all d, both refinements of Göttsche and Shende agree and equal our refined counts of tropical curves and floor diagrams.

description: We have carried out a systematic analysis of the gamma-ray bursts' (GRBs) light curves detected in the SPI-ACS experiment onboard the INTEGRAL observatory aimed to search extended emission. The emission occasionally recorded after the prompt active phase of a GRB in the form of an emission that is longer than the active phase and less intense is called the extended one. Out of the 739 brightest GRBs recorded from 2002 to 2017, extended emission has been detected in $\sim20\%$ of the individual light curves; its maximum duration reaches $\sim 10000$ s. Two different types of extended emission have been revealed. One of them is an additional component of the light curve and is described by a power law (PL) with an index $α\sim -1$ close to the PL index of the afterglow in the optical and X-ray bands. The second type can be described by a steeper PL decay of the light curve typical of the active burst phase. Extended emission has also been found in the combined light curve of long GRBs in the individual curves of which no extended emission has been detected. The PL index of the extended emission in the combined light curve is $α\sim -2.4$. It is most likely associated with the superposition of light curves at the active phase; its total duration is $\sim 800$ s.
Interpretation of the X-ray Spectral Variation of 1H0707-495 with a Variable Double Partial Covering Model

description: The Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H0707-495 is known to exhibit significant X-ray spectral variations. Its X-ray energy spectrum is characterized by a strong soft excess emission, an extremely deep iron K-edge structure at ~7 keV, and a putative iron L-line/edge feature at ~1 keV. We have found that the energy spectrum of 1H0707-495 in 0.5-10 keV is successfully explained by a "variable double partial covering model" where the original continuum spectrum, which is composed of the soft multi-color disk blackbody component and the hard power-law component, is partially covered by two ionized absorption layers with different ionization states and the same partial covering fraction. The lower-ionized and thicker absorption layer primarily explains the iron K-edge feature, and the higher-ionized and thinner absorption layer explains the L-edge feature. We have discovered that the observed significant intensity/spectral variation within a ~ day is mostly explained by only variation of the partial covering fraction. In our model, the intrinsic luminosity and spectral shape are hardly variable within a ~ day, while some intrinsic variability above 3 keV is recognized. This is consistent with the picture that the multi-color disk blackbody spectrum is almost invariable in this timescale, and the hard power-law component is more variable. We propose that the observed spectral variation of 1H0707-495 is caused by three physically independent variations with different timescales; (1) intrinsic luminosity variation over days, (2) variation of partial covering fraction at a timescale of hours, and (3) small intrinsic hard component variation above 3 keV in a timescale of hours or less.

description: Modelling the temperature of Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries is a fundamental task of EV manufacturing. Extreme temperatures in the battery packs can affect their longevity and power output. Although theoretical models exist for describing heat transfer in battery packs, they are computationally expensive to simulate. Furthermore, it is difficult to acquire data measurements from within the battery cell. In this work, we propose a data-driven surrogate model (LiFe-net) that uses readily accessible driving diagnostics for battery temperature estimation to overcome these limitations. This model incorporates Neural Operators with a traditional numerical integration scheme to estimate the temperature evolution. Moreover, we propose two further variations of the baseline model: LiFe-net trained with a regulariser and LiFe-net trained with time stability loss. We compared these models in terms of generalization error on test data. The results showed that LiFe-net trained with time stability loss outperforms the other two models and can estimate the temperature evolution on unseen data with a relative error of 2.77 % on average.

description: Smart Cities and Communities, and Local Digital Twins are being progressively deployed in the EU. Advanced solutions will be rolled out as natural interfaces to deploy the CitiVerse at different levels in conjunction with urban platforms, new simulation algorithms and other emerging technologies. The ultimate goal will be supporting citizen's participation and exploration of such hybrid worlds.
There is a need then to produce a Landscape Report on the standardisation and pre-standardisation work relevant to the CitiVerse and take this input to work out a pre-standardisation roadmap for the CitiVerse.
During this Webinar we presented the standardisation and pre-standardisation work relevant to the CitiVerse (Metaverse for Citizens) elaborated within the StandICT.eu 2026's EUOS Technical Working Group, looking at horizontal dimensions and enablers like trust, security, privacy, sustainability and accessibility, openness, interoperability; and vertical dimensions like networks, edge/ cloud, blockchain, AI, computer vision, image processing, AR/ VR, virtual and real-world integration, linking all to specific needs stemming from defining concrete use cases for relevant services and capabilities.

description: The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is a transit interferometer currently being built at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO) in Penticton, BC, Canada. We will use CHIME to map neutral hydrogen in the frequency range 400 -- 800\,MHz over half of the sky, producing a measurement of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) at redshifts between 0.8 -- 2.5 to probe dark energy. We have deployed a pathfinder version of CHIME that will yield constraints on the BAO power spectrum and provide a test-bed for our calibration scheme. I will discuss the CHIME calibration requirements and describe instrumentation we are developing to meet these requirements.

description: Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) have been officially introduced into the European legislation through the Clean Energy for all Europeans package. A REC is defined as an association of citizens, commercial activities, enterprises, and local authorities that own small-scale power plants based on Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). The community has the objective of maximizing the share of renewable energy, i.e. the self-consumption of the energy generated by the community RES power plants and to generally optimize the use of electrical energy. This paper describes the ComER project, developed by the University of Cassino and the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome. The project focuses on the main technical problems to face for the realization of a REC. The principal objective is to develop methods and tools necessary for the management and control of RECs. In particular, this paper describes the rules established for RECs in the Italian legislations, the organization of the ComER project, the adopted solutions and the first obtained results.
