description: A new version of GBS (Ricci et al. Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 54, 124047, 2012; Halpern et al. J. Comput. Phys. 315, 388-408, 2016; Paruta et al. Phys. Plasmas 25, 112301, 2018) is described. GBS is a three-dimensional, flux-driven, global, two-fluid turbulence code developed for the self-consistent simulation of plasma turbulence and kinetic neutral dynamics in the tokamak boundary. In the new version presented here, the simulation domain is extended to encompass the whole plasma volume, avoiding an artificial boundary with the core, hence retaining the core-edge-SOL interplay. A new toroidal coordinate system is introduced to increase the code flexibility, allowing for the simulation of arbitrary magnetic configurations (e.g. single-null, double-null and snowflake configurations), which can also be the result of the equilibrium reconstruction of an experimental discharge. The implementation of a new iterative solver for the Poisson and Ampère equations is presented, leading to a remarkable speed-up of the code with respect to the use of direct solvers, therefore allowing for efficient electromagnetic simulations that avoid the use of the Boussinesq approximation. The self-consistent kinetic neutral model, initially developed for limited configurations, is ported to the magnetic configurations considered by the present version of GBS and carefully optimized. A new MPI parallelisation is implemented to evolve the plasma and neutral models in parallel, thus improving the code scalability. The numerical implementation of the plasma and neutral models is verified by means of the method of manufactured solutions. As an example of the simulation capabilities of the new version of GBS, a simulation of a TCV tokamak discharge is presented.
Characterizing Protoclusters and Protogroups at z $\sim$ 2.5 Using Ly$α$ Tomography

description: Ly-$α$ tomography surveys have begun to produce three-dimensional (3D) maps of the intergalactic medium (IGM) opacity at $z \sim 2.5$ with Mpc resolution. These surveys provide an exciting new way to discover and characterize high-redshift overdensities, including the progenitors of today's massive groups and clusters of galaxies, known as protogroups and protoclusters. We use the IllustrisTNG-$300$ hydrodynamical simulation to build mock maps that realistically mimic those observed in the Ly-$α$ Tomographic IMACS Survey (LATIS). We introduce a novel method for delineating the boundaries of structures detected in 3D Ly-$α$ flux maps by applying the watershed algorithm. We provide estimators for the dark matter masses of these structures (at $z\sim2.5$), their descendant halo masses at $z=0$, and the corresponding uncertainties. We also investigate the completeness of this method for the detection of protogroups and protoclusters. Compared to earlier work, we apply and characterize our method over a wider mass range that extends to massive protogroups. We also assess the widely used fluctuating Gunn-Peterson approximation (FGPA) applied to dark-matter-only simulations; we conclude while it is adequate for estimating the Ly-$α$ absorption signal from moderate-to-massive protoclusters ($ \gtrsim 10^{14.2} M_{\odot}$), it artificially merges a minority of lower-mass structures with more massive neighbors. Our methods will be applied to current and future Ly-$α$~tomography surveys to create catalogs of overdensities and study environment-dependent galaxy evolution in the Cosmic~Noon~era.

FLIPPED CLASSROOM APPROACH IN TEACHING ENGLISH GRAMMAR: A CASE STUDY OF UZBEK UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Creators: name: Karimova, Aziza
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The flipped classroom approach has emerged as a transformative pedagogical model in modern education, shifting the traditional learning structure by moving direct instruction outside of the classroom and dedicating class time to active, student-centered learning. This thesis explores the implementation of the flipped classroom model in teaching English grammar to university students in Uzbekistan. It examines the effects of this approach on students' engagement, comprehension, and overall grammar performance. Through qualitative and quantitative methods, the study investigates student responses, academic outcomes, and the challenges encountered during the transition from conventional grammar instruction to a flipped model. The findings suggest that the flipped classroom fosters more interactive learning, supports autonomous study habits, and improves grammatical understanding when properly planned and supported by digital resources.
Search for a right-handed W boson and a heavy neutrino in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search is presented for a right-handed W boson (W$_\mathrm{R}$) and a heavy neutrino (N), in a final state consisting of two same-flavor leptons (ee or $μμ$) and two quarks. The search is performed with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The search covers two regions of phase space, one where the decay products of the heavy neutrino are merged into a single large-area jet, and one where the decay products are well separated. The expected signal is characterized by an excess in the invariant mass distribution of the final-state objects. No significant excess over the standard model background expectations is observed. The observations are interpreted as upper limits on the product of W$_\mathrm{R}$ production cross sections and branching fractions assuming that couplings are identical to those of the standard model W boson. For N masses $m_\mathrm{N}$ equal to half the W$_\mathrm{R}$ mass $m_\mathrm{W_R}$ ($m_\mathrm{N}$ = 0.2 TeV), $m_\mathrm{W_R}$ is excluded at 95% confidence level up to 4.7 (4.8) and 5.0 (5.4) TeV for the electron and muon channels, respectively. This analysis provides the most stringent limits on the W$_\mathrm{R}$ mass to date.

description: Beam combiners are important components of an optical/infrared astrophysical interferometer, with many variants as to how to optimally combine two or more beams of light to fringe-track and obtain the complex fringe visibility. One such method is the use of an integrated optics chip that can instantaneously provide the measurement of the visibility without temporal or spatial modulation of the optical path. Current asymmetric planar designs are complex, resulting in a throughput penalty, and so here we present developments into a three dimensional triangular tricoupler that can provide the required interferometric information with a simple design and only three outputs. Such a beam combiner is planned to be integrated into the upcoming $\textit{Pyxis}$ interferometer, where it can serve as a high-throughput beam combiner with a low size footprint. Results into the characterisation of such a coupler are presented, highlighting a throughput of 85$\pm$7% and a flux splitting ratio between 33:33:33 and 52:31:17 over a 20% bandpass. We also show the response of the chip to changes in optical path, obtaining an instantaneous complex visibility and group delay estimate at each input delay.

description: Metaverses are virtual worlds where users can engage in social exchanges, collaborate, or play games. Their clients now are JavaScript programs that run inside modern web browsers. They implement functionalities typical of multiplayer video games, like 3D and physics engines, requiring them to maintain complex data structures of objects in the browser’s memory. Unfortunately, these objects can be accessed and manipulated by malicious users, allowing them to learn about events beyond the ones rendered on screen or to hijack the physics of the metaverse to spy on other users.In this paper, we propose one of the first comprehensive security assessments for web clients of metaverse platforms. We begin with a survey and selection of three metaverse platforms and introduce a software-centric threat modeling approach designed to identify the security-relevant entities. Then, we propose a JavaScript global object snapshot diffing technique to identify in-memory objects correlated with the attribute and design 10 attacks, of which eight successfully executed against at least one of the metaverses, enabling a malicious user to perform audio/video surveillance or continuous user position tracking — to mention a few — who could exacerbate current threats posed by stalkers and online abusers. Finally, we discuss the implications of our attacks should the metaverse become a business tool and possible solutions.

description: The idea presented is to replace corn with oak trees as a feed substitute, aiming to tackle climate issues like carbon sequestration and erosion. Oak orchards, unlike annual crops, sequester significant amounts of CO2 and improve soil health. Acorns, rich in nutrients, could provide an alternative feed for livestock. With the potential for genetic modification through CRISPR, oak trees could offer a sustainable, profitable solution. The shift could mitigate climate impacts while supporting food and feed production.

description: Manifestly Lorentz-invariant baryon chiral perturbation theory is used to calculate the radiative correction of low energy elastic lepton proton scatterings. Corrections of differential cross section and charge asymmetry are given at chiral next-to-leading order $(\mathcal{O}(p^2))$ with a nonzero lepton mass, which are infrared and ultraviolet finite. The results are basically consistent with previous predictions based on hadron model calculation, but they are somewhat different from calculations based on heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, especially in charge asymmetry.

description: PIRATA est un projet multinational avec participation du Brésil, de la France et des USA. Du cote français, il s'agit d'installer et de maintenir (visite annuelle de chaque site) un réseau de 6 bouées ATLAS (le réseau PIRATA initial dans son ensemble comporte 12 bouées) dans la partie Est du bassin tropical (Golfe de Guinée).Les paramètres observes en temps réel (transmission ARGOS) par chaque système ATLAS permettent de reconstituer l'échange de chaleur à l'interface air-mer, ainsi que la structure thermohaline de la surface jusqu'a 500 de profondeur. Une intégration journalière de l'ensemble des données acquises (et enregistrées localement) selon une fréquence de 10 mn, est transmise par le système ARGOS sur le SMT et le réseau Internet. Les sites des mouillages PIRATA ont été choisis en fonction de différents critères scientifiques (zones clés du système couple ocean-atmosphère) et logistiques (temps bateau).Chaque campagne PIRATA dure environ 15 jours (Abidjan-Abidjan). Durant ces campagnes on procède non seulement au mouillage et/ou au relevage/maintenance (au bout d'un an) des systèmes ATLAS, mais aussi à des radiales CTD (0-1000 m) et à des enregistrements en continu des courants (ADCP) et du Thermosalinographe de coque (T/S).Les données PIRATA dans les modèles numériques de circulation de l'océan et de l'atmosphère devraient permettre de mieux comprendre et simuler les variabilités de type saisonnier à interannuel de la climatologie de l'Atlantique tropical. La partie française du programme PIRATA est inclue dans le projet ECLAT (Études Climatiques sur l'Atlantique Tropical) dans lequel il est aussi procèdé à des mesures courantométriques (Yoyo) de subsurface en zone équatoriale près de 10 deg W, c'est-à-dire près d'un site du réseau PIRATA (bouée Java à 10 deg W-Eq). C'est le relevage de ce système courantométrique (4 mouillages au total, tous à proximité de 10 deg W-Eq) qui sera effectué au cours de la campagne PIRATA-FR8.

description: This study explored hydrostatic pressure as a mechanobiological parameter to control in vitro endothelial cell tubulogenesis in 3-D hydrogels as a model microvascular tissue engineering approach. For this purpose, the present investigation used an endothelial spheroid model, which we believe is an adaptable microvascularization strategy for many tissue engineering construct designs. We also aimed to identify the operating magnitudes and exposure times for hydrostatic pressure-sensitive sprout formation as well as verify the involvement of VEGFR-3 signaling. For this purpose, we used a custom-designed pressure system and a 3-D endothelial cell spheroid model of sprouting tubulogenesis. We report that an exposure time of 3 days is the minimum duration required to increase endothelial sprout formation in response to 20 mmHg. Notably, exposure to 5 mmHg for 3 days was inhibitory for endothelial spheroid lengths without affecting sprout numbers. Moreover, endothelial spheroids exposed to 40 mmHg also inhibited sprouting activity by reducing sprout numbers without affecting sprout lengths. Finally, blockade of VEGFR-3 signaling abolished the effects of the 20-mmHg stimuli on sprout formation. Based on these results, VEGFR-3 dependent endothelial sprouting appears to exhibit a complex pressure dependence that one may exploit to control microvessel formation.

description: The amino acid requirements of growing horses are currently unknown, and studies suggest that threonine is a limiting amino acid in common horse diets. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the threonine requirement of growing horses fed two different forage to concentrate ratios using the indicator amino acid oxidation method. The study consisted of a high concentrate phase (HC; 60% concentrate and 40% forage) and a high forage phase (HF; 25% concentrate and 75% forage). Within each phase, 6 female yearling Thoroughbred horses were randomly assigned each of 6 dietary treatments in a 6 x 6 Latin square design. All 6 treatments were identical, apart from varying equimolar ratios of threonine to glutamate. After 6 days of adaptation, blood samples were collected before and after the morning meal for plasma urea nitrogen (PUN) and amino acid analysis. On day 7, horses underwent the IAAO protocol, during which regular breath and blood samples were collected. Phenylalanine flux, oxidation, non-oxidative disposal, and release from body protein, as well as total carbon dioxide production were calculated using plateau enrichment of samples. There was a significant linear effect of threonine intake on plasma threonine concentrations, and PUN had a significant linear response during the HC phase. There was no significant effect of treatment on phenylalanine oxidation during either phase (P ≥ 0.05). It is unlikely that threonine was limiting in the experimental diets.

description: Currently, existing quantum annealers have proven themselves as viable technology for the first practical applications in the noisy-intermediate-scale-quantum era. However, to fully exploit their capabilities, a comprehensive characterization of their finite-time excitations is instrumental. To this end, we develop a phase diagram for driven Ising chains, from which the scaling behavior of the excess work can be read off as a function of process duration and system size. "Fast" processes are well described by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism; "slow" processes are governed by effective Landau-Zener dynamics; and "very slow" processes can be approximated with adiabatic perturbation theory.

description: Modelling the inelastic scattering of electrons in water is fundamental, given their crucial role in biological damage. In Monte Carlo track-structure codes used to assess biological damage, the energy loss function, from which cross sections are extracted, is derived from different semi-empirical optical models. Only recently, first ab-initio results for the energy loss function and cross-sections in water became available. For benchmarking purpose, in this work, we present ab-initio linear-response time-dependent density functional theory calculations of the energy loss function of liquid water. We calculated the inelastic scattering cross sections, inelastic mean free paths, and electronic stopping powers and compared our results with recent calculations and experimental data showing a good agreement. In addition, we provide an in-depth analysis of the contributions of different molecular orbitals, species, and orbital angular momenta to the total energy loss function. Moreover, we present single-differential cross sections computed for each molecular orbital channel, which should prove useful for Monte-Carlo track-structure simulations.

description: We study the full counting statistics (FCS) and symmetry-resolved entanglement entropies of integer and fractional quantum Hall states. For the filled lowest Landau level of spin-polarized electrons on an infinite cylinder, we compute exactly the charged moments associated with a cut orthogonal to the cylinder's axis. This yields the behavior of FCS and entropies in the limit of large perimeters: in a suitable range of fluctuations, FCS is Gaussian and entanglement spreads evenly among different charge sectors. Subleading charge-dependent corrections to equipartition are also derived. We then extend the analysis to Laughlin wavefunctions, where entanglement spectroscopy is carried out assuming the Li-Haldane conjecture. The results confirm equipartition up to small charge-dependent terms, and are then matched with numerical computations based on exact matrix product states.

description: Various computer simulations regarding, e.g., the weather or structural mechanics, solve complex problems on a two-dimensional domain. They mostly do so by splitting the input domain into a finite set of smaller and simpler elements on which the simulation can be run fast and efficiently. This process of splitting can be automatized by using subdivision schemes. Given the wide range of simulation problems to be tackled, an equally wide range of subdivision schemes is available. They create subdivisions that are (mainly) comprised of triangles, quadrilaterals, or hexagons. Furthermore, they ensure that (almost) all vertices have the same number of neighboring vertices. This paper illustrates a subdivision scheme that splits the input domain into pentagons. Repeated application of the scheme gives rise to fractal-like structures. Furthermore, the resulting subdivided domain admits to certain weaving patterns. These patterns are subsequently generalized to several other subdivision schemes. As a final contribution, we provide paper models illustrating the weaving patterns induced by the pentagonal subdivision scheme. Furthermore, we present a jigsaw puzzle illustrating both the subdivision process and the induced weaving pattern. These transform the visual and abstract mathematical algorithms into tactile objects that offer exploration possibilities aside from the visual.

description: Accounting is crucial for advancing sustainability. Accounting ensures accountability, with an emphasis on accurate measurement to prevent greenwashing and meet investor needs. Students reflect on the evolving landscape of sustainability reporting, the role of corporate boards in balancing financial returns with sustainable practices, and the challenges corporations face, such as managing green premiums. The conversation also touches on the importance of diverse perspectives on boards and the need for transparent, reliable data to drive change.

description: A pseudoscalar inflaton $φ$, coupled to the topological charge density $F\tilde{F}$ of a non-Abelian sector, can decay to gauge bosons ($φ\to g g $), which may thermalize rapidly. The friction felt by $φ$ is then increased by non-Abelian "strong sphalerons", leading to a self-amplifying process that can efficiently heat up the medium. We determine a lower bound for the gravitational wave production rate from such a process, originating via hydrodynamic fluctuations and particle collisions, in terms of a minimal number of parameters. Only a moderate fraction of energy density is converted to gravitational waves, suggesting that non-Abelian models may avoid the overproduction observed in some Abelian cases.

Durant ces campagnes on procède non seulement au mouillage et/ou au relevage/maintenance (au bout d'un an) des systèmes ATLAS, mais aussi a des radiales CTD (0-1000 m) et a des enregistrements en continu des courants (ADCP) ainsi que la température et salinité de surface avec un thermosalinographe de coque (T/S).Lors de cette campagne, 2 mouillages courantométriques mis à l'eau lors de Pirata-FR10 en décembre 2001 sont relevés et les données seront traitées en 2003 au Lodyc (Christine Provost/ Annie Kartavtseff).Par l'assimilation des données PIRATA dans les modèles numériques de circulation de l'océan et de l'atmosphère nous devrions être en mesure de mieux comprendre et simuler les variabilités de type saisonnier à interannuel de la climatologie de l'Atlantique tropical. Ceci devrait permettre une avancée notable dans la réalisation de prédictions climatiques à moyennes échelles sur toute la region, notamment en ce qui concerne les régimes de précipitations sur les zones du Nordeste du Brésil et de l'Afrique de l'Ouest.

description: Two years ago, professors created a doctoral course on climate finance to spur research and train future scholars. Covering topics like climate science, economics, and investment management, the course emphasizes multidisciplinary education to understand climate change and its impacts. While climate finance has grown, more funding is needed for decarbonization. The course encourages systems-focused research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and public-private partnerships, with increasing academic and industry interest in ESG issues and blended finance.
Exogenous Product Differentiation and the Stability of Collusion

Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: The stability of collusion in quantities in a differentiated duopoly is analised, and the
result is compared to that emerging in the case of price-setting behaviour. It turns out that quantity collusion is generally better sustained than price collusion, unless products are almost perfect substitutes. Under both quantity and price competition, the social damage associated with collusion is increasing in the degree of substitutability.

description: The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether or not watching sexually explicit music videos will affect how different women are perceived in different situations. There were 301 subjects recruited from Old Dominion University. The mean age was 20.5 and there were 189 women and 111 men. The participants watched two music videos and rated the main performer in the music video. Next, they watched an interview video and rated the person in the interview. The interview video featured one woman who was either African-American or Caucasian, and that woman was interviewing for either a job or a potential date. The target people were rated using a list of22 adjectives on a Likert type scale ranging from 1-9. The experimental design was a 2x2x2. The manipulations were the type of music video (sexually explicit or positive) X the type of interview (job or date) X the ethnicity of the target woman (African-American or Caucasian). A MANOVA was used to analyze the data. It was discovered that watching sexually explicit music videos does not affect how either African American or Caucasian women are perceived in an interview situation. Interestingly, it was discovered that women interviewing for a potential date were perceived significantly less favorably than women interviewing for a job. Post hoc analyses revealed significant differences in responses based on the ethnicity and sex of the participant. This implies that future research should examine the effect of participant race and sex on perceptions of women after an experimental manipulation.
Cournot Vs Stackelberg Equilibria With Entrepreneurial and Labour Managed Firms

Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: The issue of equilibrium selection in a duopoly game between a profit maximizing and a labour managed firm is addressed under either price or quantity competition with product differentiation. If firms can choose the timing of moves before competing in the relevant market variable, the Bertrand game yields multiple equilibria, while the Cournot game has a unique subgame perfect equilibrium with the profit maximizing firm in the leader’s role and the labour managed firm in the follower’s role. Due to a lower total output, the Cournot-Stackelberg equilibrium yields a lower level of social welfare as compared to the simultaneous equilibrium. This reduces the incentive to transform an LM duopoly into a mixed one.
Search for the birefringence of gravitational waves with the third observing run of Advanced LIGO-Virgo

description: Gravitational waves would attain birefringence during their propagation from distant sources to the Earth, when the CPT symmetry is broken. If it was sizeable enough, such birefringence could be measured by the Advanced LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA detector network. In this work, we place constraints on the birefringence of gravitational waves with the third observing run of this network, i.e. two catalogues GWTC-2 and GWTC-3. For the dispersion relation $ω^{2}=k^{2}\pm2ζk^{3}$, our analysis shows the up-to-date strictest limit on the CPT-violating parameter, i.e. \textcolor{black}{{$ζ=4.07^{+5.91}_{-5.79}\times10^{-17}\mathrm{m}$}}, at $68\%$ confidence level. This limit is stricter by $\sim$5 times than the existing one {($\sim 2\times10^{-16}$m)} and stands for the first $\sim$10GeV-scale test of the CPT symmetry in gravitational waves. The results of Bayes factor strongly disfavor the birefringence scenario of gravitational waves.

description: The Tolman VII solution is considered by some as one of the few analytical solutions to Einstein's equations, which describes approximately well the interior of neutron stars (NSs). This solution is characterized by the mass $M$, radius $R$, and an energy density that varies quadratically with the radial coordinate $r$. Recently, Jiang and Yagi proposed a modification of this solution, the so-called modified Tolman VII (MTVII) solution, by introducing an additional quartic term to the energy density radial profile. The MTVII solution is an approximate solution to Einstein's equation, which includes a new parameter $α$ that allows the solution to have a better agreement with the energy density profiles for realistic NSs. Here we consider the MTVII solution, showing that for certain values of the parameter $α$ and compactness $\mathcal{C}$ this solution manifests a region of negative pressure near the surface which leads to negative values of the tidal Love number. To alleviate these drawbacks, we introduce an exact version of the MTVII solution obtained by solving numerically Einstein's equations for the MTVII energy density profile. As an application of our new exact MTVII (EMTVII) solution, we calculate the tidal Love number and tidal deformability, as a function of $\mathcal{C}$, for different values of the parameter $α$. We find that the EMTVII solution predicts a positive tidal Love number for the whole range of allowed values of parameters $(\mathcal{C},α)$, in agreement with previous results for realistic NSs.

description: Le programme général est le programme international PIRATA. Il s'agit ici de la 16ème campagne française du même type (d'où le nom FR16). La précédente campagne PIRATA FR15 avait été réalisée en mai-juillet 2006, associée à la campagne EGEE 3. FR15 a permis d'effectuer le remplacement des 4 bouées situées dans le Golfe de Guinée et de déployer la bouée de l'extension Sud-Est (6°S-8°E), ainsi que des travaux de validation dans le cadre d'EGEE et de CORIOLIS (largage de bouées dérivantes SVP, PROVOR, et de sondes XBT et XCTD, en plus des enregistrements des courants, de température et de salinité de surface avec les instruments VM-ADCP et Thermosalinographe du bord). La campagne FR16 va permettre d'intervenir sur les bouées situées à 23°W et 10°W le long de l'équateur. En effet, les autres bouées ATLAS du programme PIRATA situées dans le Golfe de Guinée seront remplacées pendant la campagne EGEE 5 (associée à PIRATA FR17) programmée juste après cette campagne PIRATA FR16. Le projet de rattachement est ORE PIRATA - AMMA EGEE.
