 Literature data. “ Sardinia ” (Bargagli 1871; Bertolini 1904; Porta 1926; Barajon 1966; Vienna 1980; Mazur 1984; Audisio et al. 1995; Mazur 1997, 2004; Yélamos & Lackner 2004).
 Notes. E-Mediterranean species reaching the Caucasus and Iran eastwards (Mazur 2004); it was first cited from Sardinia by Bargagli (1871), after suggestion by Baudi, and later uncritically reported by Bertolini (1904), Porta (1926), Mazur (1997, 2004) and Yélamos and Lackner (2004). On the other hand, Luigioni (1929) excluded it from the Italian fauna and listed it among the species of uncertain origin or doubtful identification, whereas Barajon (1966) recorded it as doubtful in Sardinia, as did Vienna (1980), who affirmed: “ the record ‘Sardinia’ by Bertolini gives no further information and needs confirming in my opinion ” [translated from the Italian original]. Meanwhile it was still included in the Italian checklist (Audisio et al. 1995), before being definitively excluded by Penati and Vienna (2002, 2005, 2006a), who found no Sardinian or even Italian specimens in the collections examined by them. Being absent also in France and Spain (cf. Mazur 2004), S. prasinus was excluded from the new key to the recognition of Saprinus species of these three countries (Penati & Vienna 2007).
 During the preparatory work for the present catalogue, while examining the Baudi di Selve collection I found, much to my surprise, four specimens of S. prasinus, all correctly identified and indicated in the handwritten catalogue as coming from Sardinia! Seeing that the western limit of the distribution range of this species is Greece and that Baudi could easily have made a mistake when jotting down the origin of these specimens (no specimens in his collection carry a locality label and the locality, which is nearly always generic, is only given in the handwritten catalogue [see also comment under Phelister haemorrhous]), I consider it wise to exclude S. prasinus from the Italian histerid fauna, at least until possible new findings demonstrate its presence in Sardinia or elsewhere in Italy.

description: The thesis of this dissertation is that, despite widespread belief in the security community, systems are still vulnerable to attacks from malicious peripherals delivered over the PCI Express (PCIe) protocol. Malicious peripherals can be plugged directly into internal PCIe slots, or connected via an external Thunderbolt connection. To prove this thesis, we designed and built a new PCIe attack platform. We discovered that a simple platform was insufficient to carry out complex attacks, so created the first PCIe attack platform that runs a full, conventional OS. To allows us to conduct attacks against higher-level OS functionality built on PCIe, we made the attack platform emulate in detail the behaviour of an Intel 82574L Network Interface Controller (NIC), by using a device model extracted from the QEMU emulator. We discovered a number of vulnerabilities in the PCIe protocol itself, and with the way that the defence mechanisms it provides are used by modern OSs. The principal defence mechanism provided is the Input/Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU). The remaps the address space used by peripherals in 4KiB chunks, and can prevent access to areas of address space that a peripheral should not be able to access. We found that, contrary to belief in the security community, the IOMMUs in modern systems were not designed to protect against attacks from malicious peripherals, but to allow virtual machines direct access to real hardware. We discovered that use of the IOMMU is patchy even in modern operating systems. Windows effectively does not use the IOMMU at all; macOS opens windows that are shared by all devices; Linux and FreeBSD map windows into host memory separately for each device, but only if poorly documented boot flags are used. These OSs make no effort to ensure that only data that should be visible to the devices is in the mapped windows. We created novel attacks that subverted control flow and read private data against systems running macOS, Linux and FreeBSD with the highest level of relevant protection enabled. These represent the first use of the relevant exploits in each case. In the final part of this thesis, we evaluate the suitability of a number of proposed general purpose and specific mitigations against DMA attacks, and make a number of recommendations about future directions in IOMMU software and hardware.

description: We compare the momentum space with the standard periodic lattice approach to Monte Carlo calculations in classical $ϕ^4$ field theory. We show that the mismatch in the initial value of $ϕ^2_{\text{cl}}(t)$, results in a shift in the ``thermalized'' value, at large times. The two approaches converge to the same result in the continuum limit.

description: To find solutions for legal system for capitalization of rural land ownership in China, this paper studied and analyzed existing problems in rural land system and legal environment using legal theory and transaction cost theory. Results indicated that (i) the restriction of institutional condition upon property right and transaction is more essential, and key points include the relationship of entities of right formed jointly by the state, collective and farmers, accurate positioning of property right structure, and security for land appreciation income right and allocation mechanism; (ii) the land property right structure should select a legal structure with minimum transaction cost. It is concluded that entitling the ownership to a single entity is an economical method to eliminate current conflict of rural land right.
Matrix-Calibration-Based Cascaded Channel Estimation for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Assisted Multiuser MIMO

description: Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is envisioned to be an essential component of the paradigm for beyond 5G networks as it can potentially provide similar or higher array gains with much lower hardware cost and energy consumption compared with the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. In this paper, we focus on one of the fundamental challenges, namely the channel acquisition, in an RIS-assisted multiuser MIMO system. The state-of-the-art channel acquisition approach in such a system with fully passive RIS elements estimates the cascaded transmitter-to-RIS and RIS-to-receiver channels by adopting excessively long training sequences. To estimate the cascaded channels with an affordable training overhead, we formulate the channel estimation problem in the RIS-assisted multiuser MIMO system as a matrix-calibration based matrix factorization task. By exploiting the information on the slow-varying channel components and the hidden channel sparsity, we propose a novel message-passing based algorithm to factorize the cascaded channels. Furthermore, we present an analytical framework to characterize the theoretical performance bound of the proposed estimator in the large-system limit. Finally, we conduct simulations to verify the high accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

description: There is accumulating evidence on differences in the link between types of dairy products and cardio-metabolic health, but inconsistent findings limit the field. In my PhD project, I undertook an epidemiological investigation comprising inter-related but distinct themes evaluating aspects of nutritional, molecular and genetic epidemiology to advance scientific understanding. I undertook research to describe dairy consumption patterns over time by evaluating nationally-representative data of the United Kingdom National Diet and Nutrition Survey. I observed significant time trends for specific dairy types and groups, which were different among different groups of people e.g. adults younger than 65 years or elderly people. Using data from the large Fenland (n~12,000) and EPIC Norfolk (n~25,000) studies, I investigated associations of total and types of dairy consumption with markers of metabolic risk and adiposity as potential pathways to cardio-metabolic disease. The analyses showed differential associations of dairy types and groups mainly with markers of adiposity and lipidaemia. I explored the potential of objective markers to assess dairy consumption, by examining metabolomics profiles and blood fatty acids to identify a set of biomarkers predicting dairy consumption and prospective associations of the identified biomarkers with type 2 diabetes risk. I was able to develop and validate metabolite scores reflecting consumption of some dairy products and observed inverse associations between some of these scores and type 2 diabetes incidence. I analysed genetic determinants of dairy consumption, using a genome-wide association study in the UK Biobank (n~500,000) and identified single nucleotide polymorphisms predicting milk, cheese and total dairy consumption. Overall, this PhD work contributed towards (1) a more precise description of dairy consumption patterns in the UK, (2) hypothesis formulation for potential biological pathways linking to cardio-metabolic disease, (3) discovery of metabolite scores as potential dairy biomarkers and (4) hypothesis formulation for potential genetic predictors of dairy consumption.

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The vertical rheological properties of the earth varies a lot. The lithosphere is rigid and divided into a number of tectonic plates. The underlying asthenosphere is quasi-liquid(in geological time) enabling the movement of the upper lithosphere. When the lithosphere is subjected to a large enough stress(from the asthenosphere), it will crack, resulting in diverging(destructive), converging(constructive) or transversing(conservative) tectonic plates. When these plates are displaced with respect to each other, a largeand violent amount of energy is released, resulting in volcanoes, mountains or earthquakes. In this project, a model of the Earth's interior is made using a synthetic wave, called a wavelet by computing a seismogram (a diagram expressing the displacement of the Earth). First, the necessary theory will be explained followed by an implementation of the theory. This will give an estimate ofthe reflectivity of the Earth's interior as well as a modelled seismogram. The results will consequently be discussed, both mathematically and physically.
Current High Energy Emission from Black Holes
Creators: name: Blandford, R. D.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Two related topics are discussed. 1. Accretion onto black holes at low and high (though not very high) rates is believed to proceed adiabatically ({\em ie} non-radiatively). It is argued that the liberated energy is carried off by an outflow, probably involving almost all of the gas that is supplied. Two dimensional, fluid, accretion disks, in which mass, angular momentum and energy are transported to the disk surface, are summarized. It is conjectured that relatively minor changes are needed to describe magnetised disks. By contrast, the disk surface physics is argued to dictate the character of the outflow. 2. Ultrarelativistic jets appear to be produced by active galactic nuclei (AGN), pulsars and $γ$-ray bursts (GRB). In all three cases, it is argued that the power is generated electromagnetically by a magnetic rotator, (in a DC not AC form), and transported in this manner to the emission site. A model of a relativistically expanding electromagnetic shell is described and used to provide a simple model of a GRB in which the $γ$-rays are produced by unstable electrical currents flowing along the rotation axis. The shell drives a relativistic blast wave into the surrounding medium with a speed that varies with latitude and whose afterglow emission may exhibit achromatic breaks. Similar processes may be at work in non-relativistic plerions like the Crab Nebula and, possibly, AGN jets. The observational implications of these two classes of model and the prospects for performing instructive, numerical experiments to elucidate them further are briefly outlined.

description: This dissertation investigates the process of economic growth with heterogeneous agents from a multi-level perspective. Building upon Kaldorian and Evolutionary principles, growth is defined as a path-dependent and complex phenomenon, which requires structural variation and the interplay between demand and supply at distinct analytical levels. Two concomitant and dependent 'layers' of this process are emphasised: the supply-led 'intra-sectoral development trajectory' and the demand-led 'inter-sectoral development trajectory'. The key element in the first is the firm size, which is shown to have a non-linear influence on the process of technological change. The second layer is shown to depend on the growth of income and patterns of production and consumption reflected on the inter-sectoral composition and level of 'sophistication' of the productive structure. The key to understand divergent growth trajectories lies in the interaction between these layers and the contradictory effects imposed at each analytical level both by demand (top-down) and supply (bottom-up). The approach is both theoretical and empirical and the analysis reveals important stylised facts of growth at the firm, sector and country levels. The text is structured in four sections comprising 9 chapters. Section I introduces the theoretical foundations of the work and the limitations of Evolutionary and Kaldorian schools to explain the multi-level 'allocation problem'. Section II presents the databases and empirically assesses the influence of the (re)allocation of labour on growth at each analytical level. Section III investigates the foundations of the process of micro-meso and macro process of development. The final section proposes a unified theoretical framework to connect the multi-level evidence. The analysis reinforces the interplay between demand and supply in growth trajectories, prompting a number of original policy implications.

description: Open quantum walks (OQWs) describe a quantum walker on an underlying graph whose dynamics is purely driven by dissipation and decoherence. Mathematically, they are formulated as completely positive trace preserving (CPTP) maps on the space of density matrices for the walker on the graph. Any microscopically derived OQW must include the possibility of remaining on the same site on the graph when the map is applied. We extend the CPTP map to describe a lazy OQW. We derive a central limit theorem for lazy OQWs on a $d$-dimensional lattice, where the distribution converges to a Gaussian. We show that the properties of this Gaussian computed using conventional methods agree with the general formulas derived from our central limit theorem.

description: We present a phenomenological study of three models with different effective degrees of freedom: a Goldstone Boson Exchange (GBE) model which is based on quark-meson couplings, the quark delocalization, color screening model (QDCSM) which is based on quark-gluon couplings with delocalized quark wavefunctions, and the Fujiwara-Nijmegen (FN) mixed model which includes both quark-meson and quark-gluon couplings. We find that for roughly two-thirds of 64 states consisting of pairs of octet and decuplet baryons, the three models predict similar effective baryon-baryon interactions. This suggests that the three very different models, based on different effective degrees of freedom, are nonetheless all compatible with respect to baryon spectra and baryon-baryon interactions. We also discuss the differences between the three models and their separate characteristics.

description: When mu-e-gamma (or tau-mu-gamma) loop involves a vector boson, the amplitude is suppressed by more than two powers of heavy particle masses. However we show that the scalar boson loop diagrams are much less damped. Particularly, the loop amplitude in which the intermediate fermion and scalar boson have comparable masses is as large as possible, as allowed by the decoupling theorem. Such a situation is realized in the "universal extra dimension theory", and can yield a large enough rate to be detectable in current experiments. Our investigation involves precise calculation of the scalar boson loop's dependence on the masses of the intermediate states.

description: Zur Erreichung der Klimaneutralität braucht es unterschiedliche Maßnahmen. In manchen Industrieprozessen können die Treibhausgas Emissionen nicht vollständig vermieden werden. Dort besteht aber die grundsätzliche Möglichkeit, nicht-reduzierbare CO2-Emissionen abzuscheiden, zu transportieren, geologisch zu speichern oder so weiter zu nutzen, dass sie permanent gebunden sind.

Die im Juni 2024 beschlossene österreichische Carbon Management Strategie (CMS) sieht als Empfehlung die Zulassung der geologischen Speicherung von schwer beziehungsweise nicht vermeidbaren CO2-Emissionen in "hard-to-abate"-Sektoren unter strengen Sicherheits- und Umweltauflagen vor. Es stellen sich Fragen der organisatorischen, technologischen und wirtschaftlichen Umsetzbarkeit sowie der Ausgestaltung der gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen.

Der NEFI Technology Talk des OÖ Energiesparverbandes präsentierte und diskutierte am 3. April 2025 wichtige technische, ökonomische und rechtliche Aspekte zum Thema CCUS sowie unterschiedliche Sichtweisen rund um die Infrastruktur, Nutzung und allfällige Verspeicherung von schwer oder nicht vermeidbaren CO2-Emissionen.

description: We present a set of formulas to extract the longitudinal structure function from the proton structure function and its derivatives with respect to lnQ2 in the next-to-next-to-leading order of the perturbative theory at low x based on a hard poemron exchange. The behavior of the DIS cross section ratio R(x;Q2) and the ratio FL(x;Q2)=F2(x;Q2) studied and compared with the experimental data, also these behaviors controlled by the color dipole model bound. These results show a good agreement with the DIS experimental data throughout the low values of x. These results within the next-to-next-to-leading order approximation at very low x can be applied in the LHeC region for analyses of ultra-high energy processes.

Gravitational Lens Time Delays in CDM

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In standard CDM halo models, the time delay of a gravitational lens is determined by the cold baryon mass fraction, f, of the visible galaxy relative to the overall halo. The observed time delays in PG1115+080, SBS1520+530, B1600+434 and HE2149-2745 give Hubble constants consistent with the HST Key Project value of H0=72+/-8 km/s Mpc only if f>0.2 (1-sided 68% confidence), which is larger than the upper bound of fmax=Omega_b/Omega_0=0.15+/-0.05 estimated from the CMB. If all available baryons cool and f=fmax then the time delays imply H0=65+/-6 km/s Mpc (95% confidence). If local inventories of cold baryons, f=0.013/h70, are correct, then H0=52+/-6 km/s Mpc and the halo parameters closely match isothermal mass models. Isothermal models are also consistent with strong and weak lens studies, stellar dynamics and X-ray observations on these scales, while significantly more centrally concentrated models are not. There is a a conflict between gravitational lens time delays, the local distance scale and standard CDM halo models.

description: Results of a collaborative project involving over 28 agronomists and economists are reported. Over 800 agronomic experiments conducted in ten locations in six Asian countries comparing farmers' production with maximum yield levels of modern rice technology are analysed. Under wet season conditions, yields were raised by an average of 0.9 tonnes per hectare, but the cost of obtaining the increased yields exceeded their value in six out of ten locations. Under dry season conditions, yields were increased by an average of 1.3 tonnes per hectare, and were profitable in nine out of ten locations. High levels of fertilizer and insect control contributed roughly equally to raising the yields, but the increased cost of high insect control exceeded the value of its yield contribution in most cases. The opposite was generally true for fertilizer. One result has been that rice entomologists have reoriented their research to try and achieve more cost effective protection. There was a distinct negative correlation between the increased yield obtained by adding fertilizer above the farmers' levels and the price of fertilizer in terms of rice, dramatizing how price policies affect incentives.

description: We consider anisotropic cosmologies in a particular shift-symmetric Horndeski theory containing the $G^{μν}\partial_μϕ\partial_νϕ$ coupling, where $G^{μν}$ is the Einstein tensor. This theory admits stable in the future self-accelerating cosmologies whose tensor perturbations propagate with the velocity very close to the speed of light such that the theory agrees with the gravity wave observations. Surprisingly, we find that the anisotropies within the Bianchi I homogeneous spacetime model are screened at early time by the scalar charge, whereas at late times they are damped in the usual way. Therefore, contrary to what one would normally expect, the early state of the universe in the theory cannot be anisotropic and (locally) homogeneous in the absence of spatial curvature. The early universe cannot be isotropic either, because it should then be unstable with respect to inhomogeneous perturbations. As a result, the early universe should be inhomogeneous. At the same time, we find that in the spatially curved Bianchi IX case the anisotropies can be strong at early times even in the presence of a scalar charge.

description: We present an extension of the well-known Bogoliubov theory to treat low dimensional degenerate Bose gases in the limit of weak interactions and low density fluctuations. We use a density-phase representation and show that a precise definition of the phase operator requires a space discretisation in cells of size $l$. We perform a systematic expansion of the Hamiltonian in terms of two small parameters, the relative density fluctuations inside a cell and the phase change over a cell. The resulting macroscopic observables can be computed in one, two and three dimensions with no ultraviolet or infrared divergence. Furthermore this approach exactly matches Bogoliubov's approach when there is a true condensate. We give the resulting expressions for the equation of state of the gas, the ground state energy, the first order and second order correlations functions of the field. Explicit calculations are done for homogeneous systems.

description: We present results of a detailed study of the rate of the accretion of planetesimals by a growing proto-Jupiter in the core-accretion model. Using a newly developed code, we accurately combine a detailed three-body trajectory calculation with gas drag experienced during the passage of planetesimals in the protoplanet's envelope. We find that the motion of planetesimals is excited to the extent that encounters with the proto-planetary envelope become so fast that ram pressure breaks up the planetesimals in most encounters. As a result, the accretion rate is largely independent of the planetesimal size and composition. For the case we explored of a planet forming at 5.2 AU from the Sun in a disk with a solid surface density of 6 g/cm^2 (Lozovsky et al. 2017) the accretion rate we compute differs in several respects from that assumed by those authors. We find that only 4-5 M_Earth is accreted in the first 1.5x10^6 years before the onset of rapid gas accretion. Most of the mass, some 10 M_Earth, is accreted simultaneously with this rapid gas accretion. In addition, we find that the mass accretion rate remains small, but non-zero for at least a million years after this point, and an additional 0.3-0.4 M_Earth is accreted during that time. This late accretion, together with a rapid infall of gas could lead to the accreted material being mixed throughout the outer regions, and may account for the enhancement of high-Z material in Jupiter's envelope.

Giant Orbital Magneto-electric effect and Current-driven Magnetization Switching in Twisted Bilayer Graphene

description: Recently, signatures of quantum anomalous Hall states with spontaneous ferromagnetism were observed in twisted bilayer graphenes (TBGs) near 3/4 filling [1, 2]. Importantly, it was demon-strated that an extremely small current can switch the direction of the magnetization. This offers the prospect of realizing low energy dissipation magnetic memories. However, the mechanism of the current-driven magnetization switching is poorly understood as the charge currents in graphene layers are generally believed to be non-magnetic. In this work, we demonstrate that, in TBGs, the twist-induced reduction of lattice symmetry allows a charge current to generate net orbital magnetization at a general filling factor through magnetoelectric effects. Substrate-induced strain and sublattice symmetry breaking further reduce the symmetry such that an out-of-plane orbital magnetization can be generated. Due to the large non-trivial Berry phase of the flat bands, the orbital magnetization of a Bloch state can be as large as tens of Bohr magnetons and therefore a small current would be sufficient to generate a large orbital magnetization. We further demonstrate how the charge current with orbital magnetization can switch the magnetization of the quantum anomalous Hall state near 3/4 filling as observed in the experiments [1, 2].

description: Meals, snacks, and beverages purchased at fast-food restaurants account for an increasingly large share of a typical American’s food budget and have been blamed for Americans’ expanding waistlines and poor diet quality. This study uses data from the 2003-11 American Time Use Survey to examine the effects of time-use behaviors, prices, sociodemographic characteristics, labor force participation, and prices on fast-food purchasing patterns in the United States before and after the Great Recession. Fast-food purchasers spend less time sleeping, doing housework, eating and drinking, and watching television than nonpurchasers, and more time traveling from place to place. They also tend to have higher incomes and higher education levels. While the time that Americans spent eating out at all restaurants declined during and after the 2007-09 recession, the share of the population eating at fast-food restaurants on a given day stayed fairly constant, seemingly unaffected by the economic downturn, but the share for sit-down restaurants declined.
Wiedemann-Franz law in a non-Fermi liquid and Majorana central charge: Thermoelectric transport in a two-channel Kondo system

description: Quantum dot devices allow one to access the critical point of the two-channel Kondo model. The effective critical theory involves a free Majorana fermion quasiparticle localized on the dot. As a consequence, this critical point shows both the phenomenon of non-Fermi liquid physics and fractionalization. Although a violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law is considered a defining feature of non-Fermi liquid systems, we show by exact calculations that it holds at the critical point, providing a counterexample to this lore. Furthermore, we show that the fractionalized Majorana character of the critical point can be unambiguously detected from the heat conductivity, opening the door to a direct experimental measurement of the elusive Majorana central charge $c=\tfrac{1}{2}$.

description: The extreme hypothesis that essentially all types of ultrarelativistic outflow -- specifically AGN jets, pulsar wind nebulae and GRB --are electromagnetic, rather than gas dynamical, phenomena is considered. Electromagnetic flows are naturally anisotropic and self-collimating so as to produce jet-like features. The relativistic force-free description of these flows, which is simpler than the relativistic MHD description, is explained. It is suggested that the magnetic field associated with AGN jets and GRB is quite extensively distributed in latitude, without necessarily increasing by much the total power. It is also proposed that the observed emission from these sources traces out regions of high current density where global instabilities drive a turbulence spectrum that is ultimately responsible for the particle acceleration and the synchrotron, inverse Compton and synchro-Compton emission. The direct extraction of spin energy from a black hole is re-examined and an electromagnetic model of GRB explosions is developed. It is also suggested that some GRB ``lighthouses'' be identified with accretion-induced collapse of a neutron star to form a black hole in a binary system.

description: Additional file 1: Figure S1A. Basic nose poke apparatus consisting of a gated start chamber with a nose poke port within a linear track (left panel). The Arduino unit serving as the processing unit and main output of nose poke timing and experimental logs is shown in the upper right. The center panels show close up views of the nose poke port, and the photointerrupter module used as the nose poke sensor. The surface above the nose poke port prevents the mouse from climbing over and interacting with the photointerrupter from the opposite side. The door and servo mechanism are shown in the right panel. The door has extended surfaces past the sides of the maze to prevent the mouse from climbing around it. B) Layout of the I-maze used in temporal discrimination testing. Each of the arms has a unique spatial cue associated with it. The nose poke port (inset) and door mechanisms are similar to those in the basic nose poke task. Highlighted here are other common features with the nose poke task. A speaker is used to deliver simultaneous auditory cues during active pokes. A TTL output delivers time stamp data to the nVoke system temporal allowing linkage between nose pokes and calcium spike events. A rheostat is used for program selection, and programs are triggered and terminated using the manual triggers.
