description: Using a non-local Monte Carlo algorithm, we study the aging of a fragile glass, being able to follow it up to equilibibrium down to 0.89 Tmc (Tmc is the Mode-Coupling temperature) and up to unprecedentedly large waiting times at lower temperatures. We show that the fluctuation-dissipation ratio is independent of the dynamics chosen and is compatible with a phase transition, and that the scaling behaviour of the aging part of the correlation supports the full-aging scenario.

American recognition policy toward the Baltic States: 1918-1922
Creators: name: Donovan, John J.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is primarily concerned with an investigation of the reasons underlying the refusal of the American government to recognize the Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, from 1918 to 1922. The story of the diplomatic recognition of the Baltic States, however, did not end in 1922 when the American government, as the last of the great powers to do so, extended recognition de jure to these three small republics.

description: We present a theory of radio-frequency spectroscopy of impurities interacting with a quantum gas at finite temperature. By working in the canonical ensemble of a single impurity, we show that the impurity spectral response is directly connected to the finite-temperature equation of state (free energy) of the impurity. We consider two different response protocols: "injection", where the impurity is introduced into the medium from an initially non-interacting state; and "ejection", where the impurity is ejected from an initially interacting state with the medium. We show that there is a simple mapping between injection and ejection spectra, which is connected to the detailed balance condition in thermal equilibrium. To illustrate the power of our approach, we specialize to the case of the Fermi polaron, corresponding to an impurity atom that is immersed in a non-interacting Fermi gas. For a mobile impurity with a mass equal to the fermion mass, we employ a finite-temperature variational approach to obtain the impurity spectral response. We find a striking non-monotonic dependence on temperature in the impurity free energy, the contact, and the radio-frequency spectra. For the case of an infinitely heavy Fermi polaron, we derive exact results for the finite-temperature free energy, thus generalizing Fumi's theorem to arbitrary temperature. We also determine the exact dynamics of the contact after a quench of the impurity-fermion interactions. Finally, we show that the injection and ejection spectra obtained from the variational approach compare well with the exact spectra, thus demonstrating the accuracy of our approximate method.

description: Additional file 5: Supplementary Figure 4. Effect of temperature changes on neutrophil function. Neutrophil phagocytosis (a) and neutrophil phagosomal acidification (b) in five healthy controls at different temperatures. Blood from 5 healthy controls was analyzed after incubation for 60 minutes with double-labeled bioparticles on ice, in a water bath of 25°C and in a water bath of 37°C. Then, red blood cells were lysed using lysing reagent A and lysing reagent B from the AQUIOS CL® “Load & Go” flow cytometer and leukocyte analysis was performed using the BD FACSCanto™ II (BD Biosciences). Temperature conditions were compared using a Friedman test and a Mann-Whitney U Test with a Dunn's correction for multiple comparisons. Neutrophil phagocytosis and neutrophil acidification significantly differed at different temperatures (p = 0.0008 and p = 0.0394, respectively). Neutrophil phagocytosis increased as the temperature increased, and significant differences were found between samples that were kept on ice and samples that were kept in 37°C (p = 0.005). Such a temperature dependent trend was not observed for neutrophil acidification. However, significant differences were found between 25°C and 37°C (p = 0.034).

description: In this paper, we investigate the transport properties of spinful electrons tunnel-coupled to a finite-length Majorana nanowire on one end which is further tunnel-coupled to a quantum dot (QD) at the other end. Using a full counting statistics approach, we show that Andreev reflection can happen in two separate channels that can be associated with the two spin states of the tunneling electrons. In a low-energy model for the nanowire that is represented by two overlapping Majorana bound states (MBSs) localized at the ends of the wire, analytical formulas for conductance and noise reveal their crucial dependence on the spin-canting angle difference of the two MBSs in the absence of the QD if the spinful lead couples to both MBSs. We further investigate the influence of a finite temperature on the observation of the coupling to both MBSs. In the presence of the QD, the interference of different tunneling paths gives rise to Fano resonances and the symmetry of those provide decisive information about the coupling to both MBSs. We contrast the low-energy model with a tight-binding model of the Majorana nanowire and treat the Coulomb interaction on the QD with a self-consistent mean field approach. Using the scattering matrix approach, we thereby extend the transport results obtained in the low-energy model including also higher excited states in the nanowire.

description: We present a survey of X-ray point sources in a 91 ksec Chandra ACIS-S observation of the z=0.83 cluster MS1054-0321. We detect 47 X-ray sources within the 8.3 arcmin by 8.3 arcmin field, of which two are immediately confirmed from pre-existing spectroscopy to be at the redshift of the cluster. At fluxes brighter than S_(0.5 - 8 keV) = 5 x 10^{-15} erg s^{-1} cm^{-2} we find a ~ 2 sigma excess compared to predictions from field surveys, consistent with an excess of approximately 6 AGN. If these sources are associated with the cluster, they too are AGN with luminosities of order L_(0.5 - 8 keV) ~ 10^{43} erg s^{-1}. Combined with the identification of 7 cluster AGN from deep radio observations (Best et al. 2002), these observations suggest significantly enhanced AGN activity in MS1054-03 compared to local galaxy clusters. Interestingly, the excess of X-ray detected AGN is found at radial distances of between 1 and 2 Mpc, suggesting they may be associated with infalling galaxies. The radio AGN are seen within the inner Mpc of the cluster and are largely undetected in the X-ray, suggesting they are either intrinsically less luminous and/or heavily obscured.

We investigate the allowed parameter space yielding correct electroweak phase transitoin employing a high temperature approximation. We devote to phenomenological consequences for the Higgs sector of the MNMSSM for electron-positron colliders. It is observed that a future $e^+ e^-$ linear collider with $\sqrt{s} = 1000$ GeV will be able to test the model with regard to electroweak baryogenesis.

description: This deliverable presents the overall development status of the deep learning analytics applied on UAV imagery (both visual and thermal) on M18 of the project’s lifetime. Within the duration of T3.3, several DL pipelines were designed, implemented, and tested on the task of object detection with humans as the main object of interest. Different variants of the pipelines were investigated including various powerful State-of-the-Art object detection network including Yolov4, scaled-Yolov4, Yolov5, Detectron2 and FasterRCNN. In addition, a novel hybrid inference mechanism was proposed, developed, and tested to cope with the identified challenges especially with respect to the effect of the UAV flight altitude. The proposed inference mechanism combines the output of altitude-dependent local deep learning increasing the generalisation capabilities of the OD system. An extensive experiment set-up was designed to identify the best performing deep learning networks and demonstrate the detection performance of the proposed object detection pipeline utilizing both spectral and thermal information.

Investigation of the Sense of Agency in Social Cognition, based on frameworks of Predictive Coding and Active Inference: A simulation study on multimodal imitative interaction

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: When agents interact socially with different intentions, conflicts are difficult to avoid. Although how agents can resolve such problems autonomously has not been determined, dynamic characteristics of agency may shed light on underlying mechanisms. The current study focused on the sense of agency (SoA), a specific aspect of agency referring to congruence between the agent's intention in acting and the outcome. Employing predictive coding and active inference as theoretical frameworks of perception and action generation, we hypothesize that regulation of complexity in the evidence lower bound of an agent's model should affect the strength of the agent's SoA and should have a critical impact on social interactions. We built a computational model of imitative interaction between a robot and a human via visuo-proprioceptive sensation with a variational Bayes recurrent neural network, and simulated the model in the form of pseudo-imitative interaction using recorded human body movement data. A key feature of the model is that each modality's complexity can be regulated differently with a hyperparameter assigned to each module. We first searched for an optimal setting that endows the model with appropriate coordination of multimodal sensation. This revealed that the vision module's complexity should be more tightly regulated than that of the proprioception module. Using the optimally trained model, we examined how changing the tightness of complexity regulation after training affects the strength of the SoA during interactions. The results showed that with looser regulation, an agent tends to act more egocentrically, without adapting to the other. In contrast, with tighter regulation, the agent tends to follow the other by adjusting its intention. We conclude that the tightness of complexity regulation crucially affects the strength of the SoA and the dynamics of interactions between agents.

description: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is one of a series of studies funded by USAID Burma and the Livelihoods and Food Security Fund (LIFT) to understand the current situation and identify potential ways to improve agriculture and the rural economy in different agro-ecological zones of Myanmar. It focuses on Myanmar’s Central Dry Zone, home to approximately 10 million people. The results are based on information from almost 950 crop-producing households on area planted, quantities harvested and sold, and total crop production costs for the 13 predominant crops in the Dry Zone, based on a reference period of the past 12 months prior to the survey interview. The survey also collected parcel-level data on the household’s main parcel that was planted to at least one of four main crops of interest, namely paddy, groundnut, sesame and green gram. The parcel-level data includes information by season on seeds and other inputs applied to each crop, use of family and hired labor, use of mechanization and/or draft animal power, irrigation costs, and harvested quantities. Key findings are summarized below.

description: We present optical candidates for 75 X-ray sources in a $\sim 1$ deg$^2$ overlapping region with the medium deep ROSAT survey. These candidates are selected using the multi-color CCD imaging observations made for the T329 field of the Beijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut (BATC) Sky Survey. These X-ray sources are relatively faint (CR $<< 0.2 s^{-1}$) and thus mostly are not included in the RBS catalog, they also remain as X-ray sources without optical candidates in a previous identification program carried out by the Hamburg Quasar Survey. Within their position-error circles, almost all the X-ray sources are observed to have one or more spatially associated optical candidates within them down to the magnitude $m_V \sim 23.1$. We have classified 149 of 156 detected optical candidates with 73 of the 75 X-ray sources with a SED-based Object Classification Approach (SOCA). These optical candidates include: 31 QSOs, 39 stars, 37 starburst galaxies, 42 galaxies, and 7 "just" visible objects. We have also cross-correlated the positions of these optical objects with NED, the FIRST radio source catalog and the 2MASS catalog. Separately, we have also SED-classified the remaining 6011 objects in our field of view. Optical objects are found at the $6.5σ$ level above what one would expect from a random distribution, only QSOs are over-represented in these error circles at greater than 4$σ$ frequency. We estimate redshifts for all extragalactic objects, and find a good correspondence of our predicted redshift with the measured redshift (a mean error of 0.04 in $Δz$. There appears to be a supercluster at z $\sim$ 0.3-0.35 in this direction, including many of the galaxies in the X-ray error circles are found in this redshift range.

description: Motivated by the existence of exact many-body quantum scars in the AKLT chain, we explore the connection between Matrix Product State (MPS) wavefunctions and many-body quantum scarred Hamiltonians. We provide a method to systematically search for and construct parent Hamiltonians with towers of exact eigenstates composed of quasiparticles on top of an MPS wavefunction. These exact eigenstates have low entanglement in spite of being in the middle of the spectrum, thus violating the strong Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH). Using our approach, we recover the AKLT chain starting from the MPS of its ground state, and we derive the most general nearest-neighbor Hamiltonian that shares the AKLT quasiparticle tower of exact eigenstates. We further apply this formalism to other simple MPS wavefunctions, and derive new families of Hamiltonians that exhibit AKLT-like quantum scars. As a consequence, we also construct a scar-preserving deformation that connects the AKLT chain to the integrable spin-1 pure biquadratic model. Finally, we also derive other families of Hamiltonians that exhibit new types of exact quantum scars, including a $U(1)$-invariant perturbed Potts model.

description: Received research shows numerous motives for migration, but fewer reasons for return migration. This paper aims to correct this imbalance. Twelve reasons for return migration are presented and discussed briefly. The reasons listed are derived from research on migration conducted by the author in the course of the past three and a half decades. The purpose of the paper is to pull together the insights gained from that research so as to formulate a base for future inquiry, both analytical and empirical. In addition, just as research on motives for migration can help to establish the reasons for return migration, research on the latter can help to deepen understanding of the former. Moreover, in a great many circumstances and for a variety of reasons, countries that host migrants may want them to leave. In such circumstances, enacting policies that align with motives for return migration will be more efficient than devising measures that are independent of these motives.

description: Photo-induced phase transitions have been intensively studied owing to the ability to control a material of interest in the ultrafast manner, which can induce exotic phases unable to be attained at equilibrium. However, the key mechanisms are still under debate, and it has currently been a central issue how the couplings between the electron, lattice, and spin degrees of freedom are evolving during photo-induced phase transitions. Here, we develop a new analysis method, frequency-domain angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, to gain precise insight into electron-phonon couplings during photo-induced insulator-to-metal transitions for Ta$_2$NiSe$_5$. We demonstrate that multiple coherent phonons generated by displacive excitations show band-selective coupling to the electrons. Furthermore, we find that the lattice modulation corresponding to the 2 THz phonon mode, where Ta lattice is sheared along the a-axis, is the most relevant for the photo-induced semimetallic state.
Perspectives for the study of charm in-medium quenching at the LHC with ALICE

description: Charm mesons produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions are expected to be less attenuated (quenched) by the medium than hadrons containing only light quarks, since radiative energy loss of heavy quarks should be reduced by the `dead-cone' effect. We start from a published energy-loss model to derive the quenching for D mesons at the LHC, introducing an approximation of the dead-cone effect and employing a Glauber-based description of the geometry of central Pb-Pb collisions to estimate the in-medium path lengths of c quarks. We show that the exclusive reconstruction of D^0 \to Kπdecays in ALICE allows to measure the nuclear modification factor of the D mesons transverse momentum distribution and the D/(charged hadrons) ratio and, thus, to investigate the energy loss of c quarks.

Scale mixture of skew-normal linear mixed models with within-subject serial dependence

description: In longitudinal studies, repeated measures are collected over time and hence they tend to be serially correlated. In this paper we consider an extension of skew-normal/independent linear mixed models introduced by Lachos et al. (2010), where the error term has a dependence structure, such as damped exponential correlation or autoregressive correlation of order p. The proposed model provides flexibility in capturing the effects of skewness and heavy tails simultaneously when continuous repeated measures are serially correlated. For this robust model, we present an efficient EM-type algorithm for computation of maximum likelihood estimation of parameters and the observed information matrix is derived analytically to account for standard errors. The methodology is illustrated through an application to schizophrenia data and several simulation studies. The proposed algorithm and methods are implemented in the new R package skewlmm.
On the use of fractional Brownian motion simulations to determine the 3D statistical properties of interstellar gas

description: Based on fractional Brownian motion (fBm) simulations of 3D gas density and velocity fields, we present a study of the statistical properties of spectro-imagery observations (channel maps, integrated emission, and line centroid velocity) in the case of an optically thin medium at various temperatures. The power spectral index gamma_W of the integrated emission is identified with that of the 3D density field (gamma_n) provided the medium's depth is at least of the order of the largest transverse scale in the image, and the power spectrum of the centroid velocity map is found to have the same index gamma_C as that of the velocity field (gamma_v). Further tests with non-fBm density and velocity fields show that this last result holds, and is not modified either by the effects of density-velocity correlations. A comparison is made with the theoretical predictions of Lazarian & Pogosyan (2000).

description: Iran’s nuclear program has been a central concern of the international non-proliferation agenda since 2002 and has provoked many debates in political and academic circles. This thesis explores the impact of the personality of three Iranian presidents, Mohammad Khatami, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Hassan Rouhani, on decisions made by Iran’s leadership on the nuclear issue between 2003 to 2015. A certain degree of continuity, but also change, was observed in the Islamic Republic’s decision-making throughout these 12 years. Iranian officials persistently refused to indefinitely halt fuel-cycle activities. However, they showed variable degrees of flexibility and defiance in accepting restrictions on the country’s nuclear activities. Realism, constructivism, and domestic politics – three prominent approaches to studying nuclear behaviour – cannot provide a comprehensive explanation for Iran’s nuclear decision-making. Situated within the field of political psychology, this thesis demonstrates that the variations in the personalities of the three presidents can explain certain changes in Iran’s nuclear decisions unaccounted for by other theories. Employing a mixed-method approach, this research assesses the presidents’ political beliefs regarding the nature of the political universe and the best strategy to achieve political goals, as well as their leadership styles based on their need for power, conceptual complexity, experience, and interest in foreign policy. In several ways, including by developing a software to measure the conceptual complexity of Persian-speakers, and by geographically and culturally expanding the research on the impact of individual decision-makers on policies, this study makes advances in the field of political psychology. Furthermore, by providing a nuanced analysis of the nuclear decision-making process, as well as the role of the institution of presidency more broadly and the impact of personalities more specifically, this thesis contributes to a better understanding of Iran, of interest to both scholars and policy-makers.
Velocity distributions in dissipative granular gases

description: Motivated by recent experiments reporting non-Gaussian velocity distributions in driven dilute granular materials, we study by numerical simulation the properties of 2D inelastic gases. We find theoretically that the form of the observed velocity distribution is governed primarily by the coefficient of restitution $η$ and $q=N_H/N_C$, the ratio between the average number of heatings and the average number of collisions in the gas. The differences in distributions we find between uniform and boundary heating can then be understood as different limits of $q$, for $q \gg 1$ and $q \lesssim 1$ respectively.

Carrier-Induced Magnetic Circular Dichloism in the Magnetoresistive Pyrochlore Tl2Mn2O7

description: Infrared magnetic circular dichloism (MCD), or equivalently magneto-optical Kerr effect, has been measured on the Tl2Mn2O7 pyrochlore, which is well known for exhibiting a large magnetoresistance around the Curie temperature T_C ~ 120 K. A circularly polarized, infrared synchrotron radiation is used as the light source. A pronounced MCD signal is observed exactly at the plasma edge of the reflectivity near and below T_c. However, contrary to the conventional behavior of MCD for ferromagnets, the observed MCD of Tl2Mn2O7 grows with the applied magnetic field, and not scaled with the internal magnetization. It is shown that these results can be basically understood in terms of a classical magnetoplasma resonance. The absence of a magnetization-scaled MCD indicates a weak spin-orbit coupling of the carriers in Tl2Mn2O7. We discuss the present results in terms of the microscopic electronic structures of Tl2Mn2O7.

description: ABSTRACT Land acquisitions by foreign and local investor farmers has generated much speculation about the impacts on smallholder households and rural communities. This study addresses these issues by exploiting inter-district variation in farmland distribution patterns in Tanzania to determine the impact of localized farm structure on rural household incomes using three rounds of panel data from the Tanzanian National Panel Survey (2009, 2011 and 2013). Because farm structure is a multifaceted concept, five alternative indicators of farm structure are used in the analysis, including (i) the Gini coefficient; (ii) skewness; (iii) coefficient of variation; (iv) share of controlled farmland under medium-scale farms; and (v) share of controlled farmland under large farms. The study highlights four main findings. First, most indicators of farmland concentration are positively associated with rural household incomes, after controlling for other factors. Second, household incomes from farm, agricultural wage and non-farm sources are positively and significantly associated with the share of land in the district controlled by 5-10 hectare farms. Third, these positive spillover benefits are smaller and less statistically significant in districts with a relatively high share of farmland controlled by farms over 10 hectares in size. Fourth, poor rural households are least able to capture the positive spillovers generated by medium-scale farms and by concentrated farmland patterns.
