description: One of the main causes of death worldwide among young people are car crashes, and most of these fatalities occur to children who are seated in the front passenger seat and who, at the time of an accident, receive a direct impact from the airbags, which is lethal for children under 13 years of age. The present study seeks to raise awareness of this risk by interior monitoring with a child face detection system that serves to alert the driver that the child should not be sitting in the front passenger seat. The system incorporates processing of data collected, elements of deep learning such as transfer learning, fine-tunning and facial detection to identify the presence of children in a robust way, which was achieved by training with a dataset generated from scratch for this specific purpose. The MobileNetV2 architecture was used based on the good performance shown when compared with the Inception architecture for this task; and its low computational cost, which facilitates implementing the final model on a Raspberry Pi 4B. The resulting image dataset consisted of 102 empty seats, 71 children (0-13 years), and 96 adults (14-75 years). From the data augmentation, there were 2,496 images for adults and 2,310 for children. The classification of faces without sliding window gave a result of 98% accuracy and 100% precision. Finally, using the proposed methodology, it was possible to detect children in the front passenger seat in real time, with a delay of 1 s per decision and sliding window criterion, reaching an accuracy of 100%. Although our 100% accuracy in an experimental environment is somewhat idealized in that the sensor was not blocked by direct sunlight, nor was it partially or completely covered by dirt or other debris common in vehicles transporting children. The present study showed that is possible the implementation of a robust noninvasive classification system made on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B in any automobile for the detection of a child in the front seat through deep learning methods such as Deep CNN.

Phys. 39, (1998), 6547-6551). Identification of the classical Lie symmetries provides a set of reductions that give rise to different nontrivial spectral problems in 1+1 dimensions. The form in which the spectral parameter of the 1+1 Lax pair is introduced is carefully described.

description: We developed a four-dimensional Langevin model which can treat the deformation of each fragment independently and applied it to low energy fission of 236U, the compound system of the reaction n+$^{235}$U. The potential energy is calculated with the deformed two-centerWoods-Saxon (TCWS) and the Nilsson type potential with the microscopic energy corrections following the Strutinsky method and BCS pairing. The transport coefficients are calculated by macroscopic prescriptions. It turned out that the deformation for the light and heavy fragments behaves differently, showing a sawtooth structure similar to that of the neutron multiplicities of the individual fragments $ν$(A). Furthermore, the measured total kinetic energy TKE(A) and its standard deviation are reproduced fairly well by the 4D Langevin model based on the TCWS potential in addition to the fission fragment mass distributions. The developed model allows a multi-parametric correlation analysis among, e.g., the three key fission observables, mass, TKE, and neutron multiplicity, which should be essential to elucidate several long-standing open problems in fission such as the sharing of the excitation energy between the fragments.

description: Accretion discs are generally warped. If a warp in a disc is too large, the disc can `break' apart into two or more distinct planes, with only tenuous connections between them. Further if an initially planar disc is subject to a strong differential precession, then it can be torn apart into discrete annuli that precess effectively independently. In previous investigations, torque-balance formulae have been used to predict where and when the disc breaks into distinct parts. In this work, focusing on discs with Keplerian rotation and where the shearing motions driving the radial communication of the warp are damped locally by turbulence (the `diffusive' regime), we investigate the stability of warped discs to determine the precise criterion for an isolated warped disc to break. We find and solve the dispersion relation, which in general yields three roots. We provide a comprehensive analysis of this viscous-warp instability and the emergent growth rates and their dependence on disc parameters. The physics of the instability can be understood as a combination of (1) a term which would generally encapsulate the classical Lightman-Eardley instability in planar discs (given by $\partial(νΣ)/\partialΣ< 0$) but is here modified by the warp to include $\partial(ν_1|ψ|)/\partial|ψ| < 0$ and (2) a similar condition acting on the diffusion of the warp amplitude given in simplified form by $\partial(ν_2|ψ|)/\partial|ψ| < 0$. We discuss our findings in the context of discs with an imposed precession, and comment on the implications for different astrophysical systems.

description: Mountain highways are linearly complex, with extensive curves and high accident injury rates, how to improve driving safety is the key to traffic safety management on mountain highways, and it also meets the need for harmonious and sustainable development of the society. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of different guardrail color configurations on the driving behavior of different styles of drivers when driving on mountainous curves from the perspective of improving road aids – guardrails. A virtual reality experiment was designed using a driving simulator and VR technology, and 64 subjects were recruited to participate and complete the experiment. Drivers with non-adaptive driving styles (Reckless, Angry, Anxious) traveled at significantly higher speeds than subjects with adaptive driving styles (Cautious) on mountainous roads; drivers with Cautious styles had better lane-keeping ability when passing through different radii of curves as compared to non-adaptive drivers; and the red and yellow guardrails were more effective in decreasing the speeds at which drivers passed and in increasing the stability of lane-keeping. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of red and yellow guardrails is better, which provides a reference for the traffic management department to propose a standardized color setting of guardrails in mountainous areas, which is conducive to the development of more precise traffic management measures to reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

The method is used to tune the resonance of GaAs-based photonic crystal cavities by up to 3 nm at 940 nm, with only 5% deterioration in cavity quality factor. The method has broad applications for postproduction tuning of photonic devices.

description: В главе показано, что Великая дивергенция XIX в. – это процесс не просто расхождения в уровне развитости Европы и остального мира, но и создания нового типа мировой экономической системы, в которой хозяйства
разных стран включаются в единую мирохозяйственную или мироторговую систему (но с весьма разными ролями, прежде всего в виде центра, полупериферии и периферии) Мир-Системы в современном смысле слова. Вместе с тем продемонстрировано, что почву для перелома тенденции на конвергенцию подготовили следующие моменты: резко возросшая необходимость Запада и СССР по разным причинам быть в союзе с развивающимися странами; необходимость поставить под контроль ряд негативных процессов в
развивающихся странах и разработка соответствующих стратегий, научных идей, программ и т. п.; изменение структуры экономики в западных странах, что потребовало переноса индустриальных производств в развивающиеся страны; пробуждение интеллигенции и стремления к модернизации; роль развивающихся стран в поставках сырья, особенно нефти, и как источника дешевой и минимально квалифицированной рабочей силы. В конце концов, во многом благодаря глобализации, большинству развивающихся
стран к началу 1990-х гг. удалось сократить разрыв с развитыми странами по уровню развития человеческого капитала до уровня, обеспечившего реальную возможность переноса очень большого числа производств из центра на периферию Мир-Системы, вследствие чего резко усилился поток технологий
и капитала из развитых стран в развивающиеся, что и запустило процесс Великой конвергенции. В этом плане можно сказать, что Великая конвергенция была запущена новой волной глобализации, начавшейся в конце 1980-х –начале 1990-х гг. Показано, что начавшаяся в последней четверти XX в. Великая конвергенция – это объективный результат развития мировой экономики в целом, итог развития экономики и политики как развитых, так и развивающихся стран (причем вольный или невольный вклад в этот итог разви-
тых стран выглядит даже более высоким, чем самих развивающихся), это способ поддержания благополучия западных стран в условиях охватившего их демографического кризиса, возможность создания более широкого основания для дальнейшего инновационного развития мира.

description: A container is a group of processes isolated from other groups via distinct kernel namespaces and resource allocation quota. Attacks against containers often leverage kernel exploits through system call interface. In this paper, we present an approach that mines sandboxes for containers. We first explore the behaviors of a container by leveraging automatic testing, and extract the set of system calls accessed during testing. The set of system calls then results as a sandbox of the container. The mined sandbox restricts the container's access to system calls which are not seen during testing and thus reduces the attack surface. In the experiment, our approach requires less than eleven minutes to mine sandbox for each of the containers. The enforcement of mined sandboxes does not impact the regular functionality of a container and incurs low performance overhead.

description: To gain understanding of the complicated, non-linear and numerical processes associated with the tidal evolution of dark matter subhaloes in numerical simulation, we perform a large suite of idealized simulations that follow individual N-body subhaloes in a fixed, analytical host halo potential. By varying both physical and numerical parameters, we investigate under what conditions the subhaloes undergo disruption. We confirm the conclusions from our more analytical assessment in van den Bosch et al. that most disruption is numerical in origin; as long as a subhalo is resolved with sufficient mass and force resolution, a bound remnant survives. This implies that state-of-the-art cosmological simulations still suffer from significant overmerging. We demonstrate that this is mainly due to inadequate force-softening, which causes excessive mass loss and artificial tidal disruption. In addition, we show that subhaloes in N-body simulations are susceptible to a runaway instability triggered by the amplification of discreteness noise in the presence of a tidal field. These two processes conspire to put serious limitations on the reliability of dark matter substructure in state-of-the-art cosmological simulations. We present two criteria that can be used to assess whether individual subhaloes in cosmological simulations are reliable or not, and advocate that subhaloes that satisfy either of these two criteria be discarded from further analysis. We discuss the potential implications of this work for several areas in astrophysics.

description: We propose that the stability of dark matter is ensured by a discrete subgroup of the U(1)B-L gauge symmetry, Z_2(B-L). We introduce a set of chiral fermions charged under the U(1)B-L in addition to the right-handed neutrinos, and require the anomaly-cancellation conditions associated with the U(1)B-L gauge symmetry. We find that the possible number of fermions and their charges are tightly constrained, and that non-trivial solutions appear when at least five additional chiral fermions are introduced. The Fermat theorem in the number theory plays an important role in this argument. Focusing on one of the solutions, we show that there is indeed a good candidate for dark matter, whose stability is guaranteed by Z_2(B-L).

description: Spectra of high redshift QSOs show deep Gunn-Peterson absorptions on the blue sides of the \Lya emissions lines. They can be decomposed into components called \Lya leaks, defined to be emissive regions in complementary to otherwise zero-fluxed absorption gaps. Just like \Lya absorption forests at low redshifts, \Lya leaks are both easy to find in observations and containing rich sets of statistical properties that can be used to study the early evolution of the IGM. Among all properties of a leak profile, we investigate its equivalent width in this paper, since it is weakly affected by instrumental resolution and noise. Using 10 Keck QSO spectra at $z\sim6$, we have measured the number density distribution function $n(W,z)$, defined to be the number of leaks per equivalent width $W$ and per redshift $z$, in the redshift range $5.4 - 6.0$. These new observational statistics, in both the differential and cumulative forms, fit well to hydro numerical simulations of uniform ionizing background in the $Λ$CDM cosmology. In this model, Ly $α$ leaks are mainly due to low density voids. It supports the early studies that the IGM at $z\simeq6$ would still be in a highly ionized state with neutral hydrogen fraction $\simeq 10^{-4}$. Measurements of $n(W,z)$ at $z>6$ would be effective to probe the reionization of the IGM.

description: The problem of reconstructing a sparse signal vector from magnitude-only measurements (a.k.a., compressive phase retrieval), emerges naturally in diverse applications, but it is NP-hard in general. Building on recent advances in nonconvex optimization, this paper puts forth a new algorithm that is termed compressive reweighted amplitude flow and abbreviated as CRAF, for compressive phase retrieval. Specifically, CRAF operates in two stages. The first stage seeks a sparse initial guess via a new spectral procedure. In the second stage, CRAF implements a few hard thresholding based iterations using reweighted gradients. When there are sufficient measurements, CRAF provably recovers the underlying signal vector exactly with high probability under suitable conditions. Moreover, its sample complexity coincides with that of the state-of-the-art procedures. Finally, substantial simulated tests showcase remarkable performance of the new spectral initialization, as well as improved exact recovery relative to competing alternatives.

description: The present study focuses on understanding the behavior of motorized 2-wheeler (MTW) riders at urban unsignalized intersections in India. In the Indian context, over 60% of road crash fatalities are attributed to vulnerable road users, with MTWs serving as the predominant contributors, accounting for 44% of total fatalities. Notably, unsignalized intersections have emerged as critical sites for accidents involving vulnerable road users. Postencroachment time is used to assess traffic conflicts of MTW users. Furthermore, the study employs the exceedance property of extreme value theory to calculate crash probabilities. Tobit and grouped random parameters Tobit regression models are developed to model crash probabilities, incorporating variables such as traffic volume, traffic composition, gap acceptance time, intersection characteristics, and intersection conflict area at 4 urban unsignalized intersections in Surat, India. MTW riders have the lowest gap acceptance time among vehicles in the traffic stream. Cars and other heavy vehicles readily accept gaps when MTWs are in the conflicting stream at unsignalized intersections, which increases traffic conflicts. MTWs have the highest crash rates in the traffic stream. Among the developed models, the grouped random parameters Tobit regression captures the spatial unobserved heterogeneity of the study sites and outperforms the simple Tobit regression model. The results also indicate that MTW riders are exposed to a higher risk of crashes while turning at unsignalized intersections. The presence of a central traffic island has varied implications; it raises crash rates at 3-legged intersections but lowers them at 4-legged intersections for 2-wheelers. The study concludes that MTW crash rates are influenced by traffic and intersectional factors. Increased gap acceptance time correlates with lower crash rates. Countermeasure selections require detailed investigations, because it was observed that the presence of central traffic islands has varied effects on crash rates at 3-legged and 4-legged unsignalized intersections.

description: Diverse social contacts are generally associated with better health. However, diverse contacts can increase exposure to infectious agents. This should increase risk for disease, particularly among those whose host resistance is otherwise compromised (e.g., stressed individuals). In this prospective study, healthy college students who completed questionnaires assessing social network diversity and stressful life events were subsequently interviewed weekly for 12 weeks to track incidence of upper respiratory infections (URIs). URI episodes were defined by a symptom criterion and by clinically verified self-reported illness. Stress and diversity of social contacts interacted; diversity was associated with more illnesses among those with more stressful life events and slightly fewer illnesses among those with fewer stressful life events. Associations remained after controlling for neuroticism.
Possible use of a Cooper-pair box for low-dose electron microscopy

description: A transmission electron microscope that takes advantage of superconducting quantum circuitry is proposed. The microscope is designed to improve image contrast of radiation-sensitive weak phase objects, in particular biological specimens. The objective in this setting is to measure the phase shift of the probe electron wave to a precision $Δθ$ within the number of electrons $N$ that does not destroy the specimen. In conventional electron microscopy $Δθ$ scales as $\sim 1/N^{1/2}$, which falls short of the Heisenberg limit $\sim 1/N$. To approach the latter by using quantum entanglement, we propose a design that involves a Cooper pair box placed on the surface of an electrostatic electron mirror in the microscope. Significant improvement could be attained if inelastic scattering processes are sufficiently delocalized.

description: A multiple scattering formulation is used to calculate the force, arising from fluctuating scalar fields, between distinct bodies described by $δ$-function potentials, so-called semitransparent bodies. (In the limit of strong coupling, a semitransparent boundary becomes a Dirichlet one.) We obtain expressions for the Casimir energies between disjoint parallel semitransparent cylinders and between disjoint semitransparent spheres. In the limit of weak coupling, we derive power series expansions for the energy, which can be exactly summed, so that explicit, very simple, closed-form expressions are obtained in both cases. The proximity force theorem holds when the objects are almost touching, but is subject to large corrections as the bodies are moved further apart.

description: This study aimed to evaluate the alcohol consumption among professional truck and bus drivers using direct ethanol biomarkers, and to explore its relationship with anxiety, depression, and stress. The assessment of potential harmful drinking was conducted through the measurement of direct biomarkers: phosphatidylethanol (PEth), ethyl glucuronide (EtG), and ethyl sulfate (EtS), using dried blood spots (DBS). Additionally, self-reported data from the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) were used. Emotional states, including depression, anxiety, and stress, were evaluated using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). A total of 97 drivers participated in the study, with the majority being male (96%) and identified as truck drivers (75.3%). Among them, 43.3% reported working more than 10 h daily. The majority of volunteers exhibited normal levels of stress (81.4%), anxiety (83%), and depression (86.6%). According to the AUDIT-C assessment, 30.9% were categorized as having a moderate risk, while 11.3% were deemed to be at high risk for harmful alcohol consumption behavior. Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS) levels, indicating recent ethanol consumption, were detected in 14.4% of the drivers. In contrast, the long half-life metabolite PEth (16:0-18:1) was present in 88.7% of the volunteers. A moderate correlation (rs = 0.45, p < .01) was observed between PEth levels and AUDIT-C scores. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, utilizing a PEth threshold of ≥ 59.0 ng ml−1, displayed 78% sensitivity and 73% specificity in effectively distinguishing high risk for alcohol intake. Notably, no significant associations were found between alcohol consumption and levels of stress, depression, and anxiety. The study findings indicate a noteworthy proportion of drivers engaging in regular alcohol consumption alongside a demanding workload. Notably, PEth measurements highlighted an underreporting within the AUDIT-C self-reports. These results lend robust support for the utilization of biomarkers in assessing alcohol consumption patterns among drivers.

description: Agnosia, the impairment in object and face recognition despite intact vision and intelligence, is one of the most intriguing, and debilitating, neuropsychological deficits. The goal of this study was to determine whether S.M., an individual with longstanding visual agnosia and concomitant prosopagnosia, can be retrained to perform visual object recognition and, if so, what neural substrates mediate this reacquisition. Additionally, of interest is the extent to which training on one type of visual stimuli generalizes to other visual stimuli, as this informs our understanding of the organization of ventral visual cortex. Greebles were chosen as the stimuli for retraining given that, in neurologically normal individuals, these stimuli can engage the fusiform face area. Posttraining, S.M. showed significant improvement in recognizing Greebles, although he did not attain normal levels of performance. He was also able to recognize untrained Greebles and showed improvement in recognizing common objects. Surprisingly, his performance on face recognition, albeit poor initially, was even more impaired following training. A comparison of preand postintervention functional neuroimaging data mirrored the behavioral findings: Face-selective voxels in the fusiform gyrus prior to training were no longer so and were in fact more Greeble-selective. The findings indicate potential for experience-dependent dynamic reorganization in agnosia with the possibility that residual neural tissue, with limited capacity, will compete for representations.

description: The young A0V star HR 4796A is host to a bright and narrow ring of dust, thought to originate in collisions between planetesimals within a belt analogous to the Solar System's Edgeworth-Kuiper belt. Here we present high spatial resolution 880$μ$m continuum images from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array. The 80au radius dust ring is resolved radially with a characteristic width of 10au, consistent with the narrow profile seen in scattered light. Our modelling consistently finds that the disk is also vertically resolved with a similar extent. However, this extent is less than the beam size, and a disk that is dynamically very cold (i.e. vertically thin) provides a better theoretical explanation for the narrow scattered light profile, so we remain cautious about this conclusion. We do not detect $^{12}$CO J=3-2 emission, concluding that unless the disk is dynamically cold the CO+CO$_2$ ice content of the planetesimals is of order a few percent or less. We consider the range of semi-major axes and masses of an interior planet supposed to cause the ring's eccentricity, finding that such a planet should be more massive than Neptune and orbit beyond 40au. Independent of our ALMA observations, we note a conflict between mid-IR pericenter-glow and scattered light imaging interpretations, concluding that models where the spatial dust density and grain size vary around the ring should be explored.

description: Context: Bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs) are potential examples of triggered star formation regions, in which photoionisation driven shocks caused by the expansion of HII regions induce protostellar collapse within the clouds. Aims: The main purpose of the paper is to establish the level of star formation occuring within a known set of BRCs. A secondary aim is to determine the extent, if any, to which this star formation has been promulgated by the process of photoionisation triggering. Methods:A primary set of observations is presented obtained with submillimeter SCUBA observations and archival data from near-IR and mid- to far-IR have been explored for relevant observations and incorporated where appropriate. Results:SCUBA observations show a total of 47 dense cores within the heads of 44 observed BRCs drawn from a catalogue of IRAS sources embedded within HII regions, supportive of the scenario proposed by RDI models. The physical properties of these cores indicate star formation across the majority of our sample. This star formation appears to be predominately in the regime of intermediate to high mass and may indicate the formation of clusters. IR observations indicate the association of early star forming sources with our sample. A fundamental difference appears to exist between different morphological types of BRC, which may indicate a different evolutionary pathway toward star formation in the different types of BRC. Conclusions:Bright-rimmed clouds are found to harbour star formation in its early stages. Different evolutionary scenarios are found to exist for different morphological types of BRC. The morphology of a BRC is described as type `A', moderately curved rims, type `B', tightly curved rims, and `C', cometary rims. `B' and `C' morphological types...

description: In the past 20 years, dual-readout calorimetry has emerged as a technique for measuring the properties of high-energy hadrons and hadron jets that offers considerable advantages compared with the instruments that are currently used for this purpose in experiments at the high-energy frontier. In this paper, we review the status of this experimental technique and the challenges faced for its further development.

description: Hydrogen production has been increasing in recent years, especially since it is considered the fuel of the future. Different ways of obtaining have been reported in the literature. An alternative that has been investigated is by biological pathway using microorganisms from agroindustrial wastes. One of the waste produced by the country is glycerol, due to the production of biodiesel. The use of this waste as a raw material for hydrogen production is an alternative that can be evaluated. This review presents the analysis of the publications presented in the last ten years. Initially, three databases were consulted: Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. Subsequently with the information from Scopus, the analysis was carried out to find trends in research on the subject. Based on the information, it was found that the topic is little researched globally, so there is an opportunity to have a citation when publishing on this subject.
A critical Dyson hierarchical model for the Anderson localization transition

description: A Dyson hierarchical model for Anderson localization, containing non-random hierarchical hoppings and random on-site energies, has been studied in the mathematical literature since its introduction by Bovier [J. Stat. Phys. 59, 745 (1990)], with the conclusion that this model is always in the localized phase. Here we show that if one introduces alternating signs in the hoppings along the hierarchy (instead of choosing all hoppings of the same sign), it is possible to reach an Anderson localization critical point presenting multifractal eigenfunctions and intermediate spectral statistics. The advantage of this model is that one can write exact renormalization equations for some observables. In particular, we obtain that the renormalized on-site energies have the Cauchy distributions for exact fixed points. Another output of this renormalization analysis is that the typical exponent of critical eigenfunctions is always $α_{typ}=2$, independently of the disorder strength. We present numerical results concerning the whole multifractal spectrum $f(α)$ and the compressibility $χ$ of the level statistics, both for the box and the Cauchy distributions of the random on-site energies. We discuss the similarities and differences with the ensemble of ultrametric random matrices introduced recently by Fyodorov, Ossipov and Rodriguez [J. Stat. Mech. L12001 (2009)].

Vacuum Polarization and Photon Propagation in an Electromagnetic Plane Wave

description: The QED vacuum polarization in external monochromatic plane-wave electromagnetic fields is calculated with spatial and temporal variations of the external fields being taken into account. We develop a perturbation theory to calculate the induced electromagnetic current that appears in the Maxwell equations, based on Schwinger's proper-time method, and combine it with the so-called gradient expansion to handle the variation of external fields perturbatively. The crossed field, i.e., the long wavelength limit of the electromagnetic wave is first considered. The eigenmodes and the refractive indices as the eigenvalues associated with the eigenmodes are computed numerically for the probe photon propagating in some particular directions. In so doing, no limitation is imposed on the field strength and the photon energy unlike previous studies. It is shown that the real part of the refractive index becomes less than unity for strong fields, the phenomenon that has been known to occur for high-energy probe photons. We then evaluate numerically the lowest-order corrections to the crossed-field resulting from the field variations in space and time. It is demonstrated that the corrections occur mainly in the imaginary part of the refractive index.

description: M any targets for cardiovascular disease interventions- eg, smoking, high serum cholesterol level, and high blood pressure-are more clear-cut and easily defined than stress. Rather than being a unitary construct that can be indexed by a single number or condition, stress results from personal and environmental factors and the interactions between those factors. Despite this complexity, recent research has shown that it is possible to define and measure specific sources of personal and environmental stress that appear to increase risk of cardiovascular disease. In this section we review (1) state-of-the-art research on the impact of these sources of stress on risk of cardiovascular disease, the mechanisms of impact, and the effects on risk of interventions to reduce stress; (2) gaps in research on stress and risk of cardiovascular disease; and (3) recommendations for public policies, educational programs, and research relevant to stress and cardiovascular disease risk.

Quantum Oscillations in the mixed state of d-wave superconductor

description: We show that the low-energy density of quasiparticle states in the mixed state of ultra-clean d-wave superconductors is characterized by pronounced quantum oscillations in the regime where the cyclotron frequency $\hbarω_c \ll Δ_0$, the d-wave pairing gap. Such oscillations as a function of magnetic field B are argued to be due to the internodal scattering of the d-wave quasiparticles near wavevectors $(\pm k_D,\pm k_D)$ by the vortex lattice as well as their Zeeman coupling. The periodicity of the oscillations is set by the condition $k_D \sqrt{hc/(eB)} \equiv k_D' \sqrt{hc/(eB')}\pmod {2π}$. We find that there is additional structure within each period which grows in complexity as the Dirac node anisotropy increases.
