description: Gravitational waves (GWs) offer a new observational window into the universe, providing insights into compact objects and cosmic structures. Gravitational lensing, commonly studied in electromagnetic waves, also affects GWs, introducing magnification, time delays, and multiple images. While existing studies focus on static lenses, many astrophysical lenses are dynamic, with time-varying mass distributions such as moving stars or orbiting binaries. We develop a general theoretical framework to describe non-static lenses and demonstrate how they modulate GW signals, inducing unique time-varying amplitude modulations and spectral broadening. By examining uniformly moving and orbiting binary lenses, we show that these modulations provide new observational signatures, enhancing our understanding of lensing objects and the dynamics of the universe. Our findings have important implications for GW astronomy, offering novel ways to probe lens dynamics and improve the interpretations of GW signals.

description: From the early developments of AI applied to robotics by Hart et al. (1968), Duda and Hart (1972) and Lozano-Pérez and Wesley (1979), higher level commands were grounded to real world sensing by carefully design algorithms, which provide a link between the abstract predicates and the sensors and actuators. In order to have fully autonomous robots that learn by exploration and by imitation, the grounding algorithms between the higher-level predicates and the lower-level sensors and actuators should be discovered by the robot. Previous and recent efforts on robotics aim to discover and/or learn these intermediate layer commands, which must cope with discrete and continuous data. The main objective of this Research Topic is to advance on learning logic rules from noisy data. We have four articles that address: Logic rules that cope with states that are not directly observable by the sensing modalities; learning rules that represent object properties and their functionalities, which are grounded to the particular robot experience; learning low-level robot control actions that fulfill a set of abstract predicates in a two-level planning approach; learning to develop skills in a robotic playing scenario by composing a set of behaviors. In the following, we introduce the four articles and their contributions to rule learning in presence of noisy data.
On asymptotic behaviour of galactic rotation curves in superfluid vacuum theory

description: The logarithmic superfluid theory of physical vacuum predicts that gravity is an induced phenomenon, which has a multiple-scale structure. At astronomical scales, as the distance from a gravitating center increases, gravitational potential and corresponding spacetime metric are dominated by a Newtonian (Schwarzschild) term, followed by a logarithmic term, finally by linear and quadratic (de Sitter) terms. Correspondingly, rotation curves are predicted to be Keplerian in the inner regions of galaxies, mostly flat in the outer regions, and non-flat in the utmost outer regions. We compare theory's predictions with the furthest rotation curves data points available for a number of galaxies: using a two-parameter fit, we perform a preliminary estimate which disregards the combined effect of gas and stellar disc, but is relatively simple and uses minimal assumptions for galactic luminous matter. The data strongly points out at the existence of a crossover transition from flat to non-flat regimes at galactic outskirts.

description: In this paper, we first define the concept of convexity in G-metric spaces. We then use Mann iterative process in this newly defined convex G-metric space to prove some convergence results for some classes of mappings. In this way, we can extend several existence results to those approximating fixed points. Our results are just new in the setting.

description: Repeated epileptic seizures impair around 65 million people worldwide and a successful prediction of seizures could significantly help patients suffering from refractory epilepsy. For two dogs with yearlong intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) recordings, we studied the influence of time series nonstationarity on the performance of seizure prediction using in-house developed machine learning algorithms. We observed a long-term evolution on the scale of weeks or months in iEEG time series that may be represented as switching between certain meta-states. To better predict impending seizures, retraining of prediction algorithms is therefore necessary and the retraining schedule should be adjusted to the change in meta-states. There is evidence that the nature of seizure-free interictal clips also changes with the transition between meta-states, accwhich has been shown relevant for seizure prediction.

description: We present a mitigation strategy to reduce the impact of non-linear galaxy bias on the joint `$3 \times 2 $pt' cosmological analysis of weak lensing and galaxy surveys. The $Ψ$-statistics that we adopt are based on Complete Orthogonal Sets of E/B Integrals (COSEBIs). As such they are designed to minimise the contributions to the observable from the smallest physical scales where models are highly uncertain. We demonstrate that $Ψ$-statistics carry the same constraining power as the standard two-point galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing statistics, but are significantly less sensitive to scale-dependent galaxy bias. Using two galaxy bias models, motivated by halo-model fits to data and simulations, we quantify the error in a standard $3 \times 2$pt analysis where constant galaxy bias is assumed. Even when adopting conservative angular scale cuts, that degrade the overall cosmological parameter constraints, we find of order $1 σ$ biases for Stage III surveys on the cosmological parameter $S_8 = σ_8(Ω_{\rm m}/0.3)^α$. This arises from a leakage of the smallest physical scales to all angular scales in the standard two-point correlation functions. In contrast, when analysing $Ψ$-statistics under the same approximation of constant galaxy bias, we show that the bias on the recovered value for $S_8$ can be decreased by a factor of $\sim 2$, with less conservative scale cuts. Given the challenges in determining accurate galaxy bias models in the highly non-linear regime, we argue that $3 \times 2$pt analyses should move towards new statistics that are less sensitive to the smallest physical scales.

description: While physical performance decline rates accelerate after around the age of 70 years, longitudinal athletic performance trends in athletes older than 95 years are unknown. We hypothesized a further accelerated decline in human performance in athletes who still perform at the age of 100 years. To investigate this, longitudinal data of all athletes with results at or over the age of 100 years were collected from the “World Master Rankings” data base spanning 2006–2019 (138 results from 42 athletes; 5 women, 37 men; maximum 105 years) and compared to previously published longitudinal data from 80- to 96-year-old athletes from Sweden (1,134 results from 374 athletes). Regression statistics were used to compare performance decline rates between disciplines and age groups. On average, the individual decline rate of the centenarian group was 2.53 times as steep (100 m: 8.22x; long jump: 0.82x; shot put: 1.61x; discus throw: 1.04x; javelin throw: 0.98x) as that seen in non-centenarians. The steepest increase in decline was found in the 100-m sprint (t-test: p < 0.05, no sign. difference in the other disciplines). The pooled regression statistics of the centenarians are: 100 m: R = 0.57, p = 0.004; long jump: R = 0.90, p < 0.001; shot put: R = 0.65, p < 0.001; discus throw: R = 0.73, p < 0.001; javelin throw: R = 0.68, p < 0.001. This first longitudinal dataset of performance decline rates of athletes who still compete at 100 years and older in five athletics disciplines shows that there is no performance plateau after the age of 90, but rather a further acceleration of the performance decline.

Creators: name: Höpfner, Jessica

Publisher: name: Frontiers Media S.A.
Year: 2024

description: Setting high and specific goals is one of the best-established management tools to increase performance and motivation. However, in recent years, potential downsides of goal-setting are being discussed. One possible downside is the high risk of failing the goal. In an approach to integrate research on the consequences of goal-failure and the basic assumptions of goal-setting theory, we investigated whether failure of a high and specific goal has detrimental effects on a person’s affect, self-esteem, and motivation. In Experiment 1, 185 participants received fictitious feedback about attaining or failing an assigned high and specific goal. In Experiment 2 with 86 participants, we manipulated goal-failure through task-difficulty and we included task choice as a behavioral measure of motivation. In both experiments, participants who failed the high and specific goal showed a decrease in affect, self-esteem, and motivation compared to participants who attained that goal. Results indicate that failing a high and specific goal can be damaging for self-related factors that may be crucial for organizational long-term outcomes. We advise organizations to consider potential undesirable effects when using goal-setting interventions.

description: The seminal theoretical works of Berezinskii, Kosterlitz, and Thouless presented a new paradigm for phase transitions in condensed matter that are driven by topological excitations. These transitions have been extensively studied in the context of two-dimensional XY models -- coupled compasses -- and have generated interest in the context of quantum simulation. Here, we use a circuit quantum-electrodynamics architecture to study the critical behavior of engineered XY models through their dynamical response. In particular, we examine not only the unfrustrated case but also the fully-frustrated case which leads to enhanced degeneracy associated with the spin rotational [U$(1)$] and discrete chiral ($Z_2$) symmetries. The nature of the transition in the frustrated case has posed a challenge for theoretical studies while direct experimental probes remain elusive. Here we identify the transition temperatures for both the unfrustrated and fully-frustrated XY models by probing a Josephson junction array close to equilibrium using weak microwave excitations and measuring the temperature dependence of the effective damping obtained from the complex reflection coefficient. We argue that our probing technique is primarily sensitive to the dynamics of the U$(1)$ part.

We present a stronger theorem with a purely combinatorial proof using the Robinson-Schensted correspondence and a new concept called chess tableaux. We also prove a sharpening of another conjecture by Stanley concerning weighted sums of squares of sign-imbalances. The proof is built on a remarkably simple relation between the sign of a permutation and the signs of its RS-corresponding tableaux.

description: The role of different stellar feedback mechanisms in giant molecular clouds is not well understood. This is especially true for regions with many interacting clouds as would be found in a galactic spiral arm. In this paper, building on previous work by Bending et al., we extract a $500\times500\times100$ pc section of a spiral arm from a galaxy simulation. We use smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) to re-simulate the region at higher resolution (1 M$_\odot$ per particle). We present a method for momentum-driven stellar winds from main sequence massive stars, and include this with photoionization, self-gravity, a galactic potential, and ISM heating/cooling. We also include cluster-sink particles with accretion radii of 0.78 pc to track star/cluster formation. The feedback methods are as robust as previous models on individual cloud scales (e.g. Dale et al.). We find that photoionization dominates the disruption of the spiral arm section, with stellar winds only producing small cavities (at most $\sim$ 30 pc). Stellar winds do not affect the resulting cloud statistics or the integrated star formation rate/efficiency, unlike ionization, which produces more stars, and more clouds of higher density and higher velocity dispersion compared to the control run without feedback. Winds do affect the sink properties, distributing star formation over more low-mass sinks ($\sim 10^2$ M$_\odot$) and producing fewer high-mass sinks ($\sim 10^3$ M$_\odot$). Overall, stellar winds play at best a secondary role compared to photoionization, and on many measures, they have a negligible impact.

description: Causal Models are increasingly suggested as a means to reason about the behavior of cyber-physical systems in socio-technical contexts. They allow us to analyze courses of events and reason about possible alternatives. Until now, however, such reasoning is confined to the technical domain and limited to single systems or at most groups of systems. The humans that are an integral part of any such socio-technical system are usually ignored or dealt with by "expert judgment". We show how a technical causal model can be extended with models of human behavior to cover the complexity and interplay between humans and technical systems. This integrated socio-technical causal model can then be used to reason not only about actions and decisions taken by the machine, but also about those taken by humans interacting with the system. In this paper we demonstrate the feasibility of merging causal models about machines with causal models about humans and illustrate the usefulness of this approach with a highly automated vehicle example.

description: Purpose: Dynamic glucose enhanced (DGE) MRI studies employ chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) or spin lock (CESL) to study glucose uptake. Currently, these methods are hampered by low effect size and sensitivity to motion. To overcome this, we propose to utilize exchange-based linewidth (LW) broadening of the direct water saturation (DS) curve of the water saturation spectrum (Z-spectrum) during and after glucose infusion (DS-DGE MRI). Methods: To estimate the glucose-infusion-induced LW changes ($Δ$LW), Bloch-McConnell simulations were performed for normoglycemia and hyperglycemia in blood, gray matter (GM), white matter (WM), CSF, and malignant tumor tissue. Whole-brain DS-DGE imaging was implemented at 3 tesla using dynamic Z-spectral acquisitions (1.2 s per offset frequency, 38 s per spectrum) and assessed on four brain tumor patients using infusion of 35 g of D-glucose. To assess $Δ$LW, a deep learning-based Lorentzian fitting approach was employed on voxel-based DS spectra acquired before, during, and post-infusion. Area-under-the-curve (AUC) images, obtained from the dynamic $Δ$LW time curves, were compared qualitatively to perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI). Results: In simulations, $Δ$LW was 1.3%, 0.30%, 0.29/0.34%, 7.5%, and 13% in arterial blood, venous blood, GM/WM, malignant tumor tissue, and CSF, respectively. In vivo, $Δ$LW was approximately 1% in GM/WM, 5-20% for different tumor types, and 40% in CSF. The resulting DS-DGE AUC maps clearly outlined lesion areas. Conclusions: DS-DGE MRI is highly promising for assessing D-glucose uptake. Initial results in brain tumor patients show high-quality AUC maps of glucose-induced line broadening and DGE-based lesion enhancement similar and/or complementary to PWI.

As an application, we explore the decay of a vector meson to two pseudoscalar mesons with $N_f=2$ flavours of sea quark. Although we are working with quark masses that do not allow a physical decay, we show how the transition rate can be evaluated from the amplitude for $ρ\to ππ$ and from the annihilation component of $ππ\to ππ$. We explore the decay amplitude for two different pion momenta and find consistent results. The coupling strength we find is in agreement with experiment. We also find evidence for a shift in the $ρ$ mass caused by mixing with two pion states.

description: We investigate the properties of the backreacting holographic superconductors from the coupling of a scalar field to the Einstein tensor in the background of a d-dimensional AdS black hole. Imposing the Dirichlet boundary condition of the trial function without the Neumann boundary conditions, we improve the analytical Sturm-Liouville method with an iterative procedure to explore the pure effect of the Einstein tensor on the holographic superconductors and find that the Einstein tensor hinders the condensate of the scalar field but does not affect the critical phenomena. Our analytical findings are in very good agreement with the numerical results from the "marginally stable modes" method, which implies that the Sturm-Liouville method is still powerful to study the holographic superconductors from the coupling of a scalar field to the Einstein tensor even if we consider the backreactions.

Matrix Gravity and Massive Colored Gravitons

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We formulate a theory of gravity with a matrix-valued complex vierbein based on the SL(2N,C)xSL(2N,C) gauge symmetry. The theory is metric independent, and before symmetry breaking all fields are massless. The symmetry is broken spontaneously and all gravitons corresponding to the broken generators acquire masses. If the symmetry is broken to SL(2,C) then the spectrum would correspond to one massless graviton coupled to $2N^2 -1$ massive gravitons. A novel feature is the way the fields corresponding to non-compact generators acquire kinetic energies with correct signs. Equally surprising is the way Yang-Mills gauge fields acquire their correct kinetic energies through the coupling to the non-dynamical antisymmetric components of the vierbeins.

description: This study examined Rivers State amnesty programme and conflict reduction in Local Government Areas in Rivers State. Two specific objectives and two research questions guided the study.  Descriptive survey and case study research designs were adopted for the study.  The population of the study is made up of the 1,284,010 residents of Ogba/Ebgema/Ndoni Local Government, Ahoada East Local Government Area and Asari Toro Local Government Areas of Rivers State. The sample size for the study consists of 1560 respondents. The purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample size. Data used for this study were both primary and secondary data. A structured questionnaire items containing 10 items titled: “Rivers State Government Amnesty Programme and Conflict Reduction Questionnaire (RSGAPCRQ)” was used for data collection. The questionnaire was subjected to reliability of internal consistency using Cronbach alpha test for the two clusters of the instrument. The computation gave reliability indexes of 0.72 and 0.76 with mean reliability index of 0.74. This showed that the instrument was reliability.  The data gotten from the field was first collated into tables to ease analysis. Descriptive statistics (simple percentage) was used to answer the research questions. The results showed that Rivers State amnesty programme improved political stability by improving youth bodies’ politics and governance; reduction of violent political rivalry; increasing youth participation in politics; and improved peaceful functioning of different political groups in the areas. The results also showed that people are of the view that continuous youth empowerment, continuous women empowerment, continuous registration of youth bodies; and establishing database for unemployed persons can be used to prevent the reoccurrence of armed conflict in across the Local Government Areas in Rivers State. Based on the findings and conclusions drawn, it was recommended among others that Rivers State Government should establish a database for unemployed persons in the State and update such frequently. This would enable the government plan well how to empower the idle minds.

description: In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. A 99, 053617 (2019)], the total number of fermion pairs in a spin-balanced two-component Fermi gas of $^6$Li atoms was experimentally probed in the normal phase above the superfluid critical temperature, in order to investigate the sectors of pseudogap and preformed-pair in the temperature-coupling phase diagram. Here, we present a theoretical account of these experimental results in terms of an ab-initio self-consistent $t$-matrix calculation, which emphasizes the role of the pair-correlation function between opposite-spin fermions at equilibrium. Good agreement is found between the available experimental data and the theoretical results obtained with no adjustable parameter.

description: We discuss an open supermembrane theory on the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background in eleven dimensions. The boundary surfaces of an open supermembrane are studied by using the covariant supermembrane theory. In particular, we find the configurations of M5-branes and 9-branes preserving a half of supersymmetries at the origin.

title: Effects of Exposure to Information About Appearance Stereotyping and Discrimination on Body Image and Mood
Creators: name: Brown, Melissa Ann
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98
publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 1996

description: The present experiment examined how information about societal appearance discrimination can affect current body image. Sixty-six female college students listened to audiotapes containing information about either appearance discrimination or an unrelated topic, television violence. Afterward, participants completed measures of mood and body-image states. They also completed the Appearance Schemas Inventory (ASI), an assessment of maladaptive investment in appearance (i.e., appearance schematicity). As expected, participants exposed to the appearance information subsequently reported significantly greater body-image dissatisfaction than did those in the Control condition. Conditions did not differentially affect mood state or ASI scores. Participants were divided into upper and lower tertiles on the ASI. High appearance schematics who were given appearance discrimination information scored significantly worse on body-image satisfaction than did low schematics. Also, whereas the two conditions did not differentially affect low schematics' body-image scores, high schematics who received appearance discrimination information reported significantly less body-image satisfaction than those who did not receive that information. Clinical, theoretical, and social implications of these findings are discussed.

description: The federal government has often taken an active role in providing credit to the agricultural sector. This paper identifies the federal credit legislation enacted during the 1948-79 time period and develops a model to establish an association between credit legislation and underlying economic forces. This model showed the debt-equity ratio and bankruptcy rate as being positively related to the demand for legislation.
Analytic and Numerical Bootstrap of CFTs with $O(m)\times O(n)$ Global Symmetry in 3D

description: Motivated by applications to critical phenomena and open theoretical questions, we study conformal field theories with $O(m)\times O(n)$ global symmetry in $d=3$ spacetime dimensions. We use both analytic and numerical bootstrap techniques. Using the analytic bootstrap, we calculate anomalous dimensions and OPE coefficients as power series in $\varepsilon=4-d$ and in $1/n$, with a method that generalizes to arbitrary global symmetry. Whenever comparison is possible, our results agree with earlier results obtained with diagrammatic methods in the literature. Using the numerical bootstrap, we obtain a wide variety of operator dimension bounds, and we find several islands (isolated allowed regions) in parameter space for $O(2)\times O(n)$ theories for various values of $n$. Some of these islands can be attributed to fixed points predicted by perturbative methods like the $\varepsilon$ and large-$n$ expansions, while others appear to arise due to fixed points that have been claimed to exist in resummations of perturbative beta functions.

Identification via Quantum Channels in the Presence of Prior Correlation and Feedback

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Continuing our earlier work (quant-ph/0401060), we give two alternative proofs of the result that a noiseless qubit channel has identification capacity 2: the first is direct by a "maximal code with random extension" argument, the second is by showing that 1 bit of entanglement (which can be generated by transmitting 1 qubit) and negligible (quantum) communication has identification capacity 2. This generalises a random hashing construction of Ahlswede and Dueck: that 1 shared random bit together with negligible communication has identification capacity 1. We then apply these results to prove capacity formulas for various quantum feedback channels: passive classical feedback for quantum-classical channels, a feedback model for classical-quantum channels, and "coherent feedback" for general channels.

description: We have mapped the submillimeter emission from the 1(10)-1(01) transition of ortho-water in the W3 star-forming region. A 5'x5' map of the W3 IRS4 and W3 IRS5 region reveals strong water lines at half the positions in the map. The relative strength of the Odin lines compared to previous observations by SWAS suggests that we are seeing water emission from an extended region. Across much of the map the lines are double-peaked, with an absorption feature at -39 km/s; however, some positions in the map show a single strong line at -43 km/s. We interpret the double-peaked lines as arising from optically thick, self-absorbed water emission near the W3 IRS5, while the narrower blue-shifted lines originate in emission near W3 IRS4. In this model, the unusual appearance of the spectral lines across the map results from a coincidental agreement in velocity between the emission near W3 IRS4 and the blue peak of the more complex lines near W3 IRS5. The strength of the water lines near W3 IRS4 suggests we may be seeing water emission enhanced in a photon-dominated region.

Refashioning “home” : an a/r/tographic exploration of identity, queerness, and home economics
Creators: name: Fox, Shannon Marion
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Identity is complex. It is not a simple fixed or fundamental attribute (Clarke, 2009). Understanding, negotiating, and claiming one’s identity is challenging. This work is especially crucial for educators because our identities influence how we teach (Clarke, 2009; Palmer, 1997). As I have struggled with my own sense of identity, I was inspired to critically engage in personal identity work to improve my sense of self as a queer person and my practice as an educator, artist, researcher, and home economist. Throughout my research, I could not help but notice similar identity conflicts within home economics. Inspired, I set out to engage in critical identity work for myself. I also hope to inspire further identity work within the field of home economics. This paper is a critical, phenomenological, and transformative inquiry that explores the intersections of identity, queerness, and home economics through fashion and clothing creation. Employing a/r/tography as a methodology, I explored the research question, “In what ways can queer frameworks inform identity work within home economics?” with the intention of examining identity as a possibility, rather than a problem to solve. I sewed, embroidered, and wore a shirt I created from raw materials, documenting the process through a combination of photographs and reflective writing. I used “uniform” to metaphorically frame my shirt as a representation of individual and collective aspects of identity. My inquiry process was informed by six a/r/tographic renderings, queer theory, queer pedagogy, and queer world-making, as well as my own narrative writing from my teaching and lived experiences. Queer frameworks offer immense value for identity work within home economics. Through my inquiry, I deconstructed traditional ideas of “home” in home economics and investigated its relationship to heteronormativity and our sense of self. Queer frameworks offer alternative perspectives and possibilities with which to view ourselves and our relationships to others, our materials, and our environments. There is a great opportunity for home economists to refashion “home” through integrating queer theory, queer pedagogy, and queer world-making through fashion as an everyday practice to subvert normalized daily practices, imagine the world differently, and empower and affirm queer identities.
