description: Among the major uncertainties involved in the Chandrasekhar mass models for Type Ia supernovae are the companion star of the accreting white dwarf (or the accretion rate that determines the carbon ignition density) and the flame speed after ignition. We present nucleosynthesis results from relatively slow deflagration (1.5 - 3 % of the sound speed) to constrain the rate of accretion from the companion star. Because of electron capture, a significant amount of neutron-rich species such as ^{54}Cr, ^{50}Ti, ^{58}Fe, ^{62}Ni, etc. are synthesized in the central region. To avoid the too large ratios of ^{54}Cr/^{56}Fe and ^{50}Ti/^{56}Fe, the central density of the white dwarf at thermonuclear runaway must be as low as \ltsim 2 \e9 \gmc. Such a low central density can be realized by the accretion as fast as $\dot M \gtsim 1 \times 10^{-7} M_\odot yr^{-1}$. These rapidly accreting white dwarfs might correspond to the super-soft X-ray sources.

description: Recent advances in optical metasurfaces enable control of the wavefront, polarization and dispersion of optical waves beyond the capabilities of conventional diffractive optics. An optical design space that is poised to highly benefit from these developments is the folded optics architecture where light is confined between reflective surfaces and the wavefront is controlled at the reflective interfaces. In this manuscript we introduce the concept of folded metasurface optics by demonstrating a compact high resolution optical spectrometer made from a 1-mm-thick glass slab with a volume of 7 cubic millimeters. The spectrometer has a resolution of 1.2 nm, resolving more than 80 spectral points in a 100-nm bandwidth centered around 810 nm. The device is composed of three different reflective dielectric metasurfaces, all fabricated in a single lithographic step on one side of a transparent optical substrate, which simultaneously acts as the propagation space for light. An image sensor, parallel to the spectrometer substrate, can be directly integrated on top of it to achieve a compact mono- lithic device including all the active and passive components. Multiple spectrometers, with similar or different characteristics and operation bandwidths may also be integrated on the same chip and fabricated in a batch process, significantly reducing their costs and increas- ing their functionalities and integration potential. In addition, the folded metasystems design can be applied to many optical systems, such as optical signal processors, interferometers, hyperspectral imagers and computational optical systems, significantly reducing their sizes and increasing their mechanical robustness and potential for integration.

A Voice for Education: A Digital Analysis of HH Sheikha Moza's Public Statements, 2009-2018

subject: Human society

description: Women in politics have been subject to extensive research, and their speeches examined from different gender and discourse analysis perspectives; however, little has been written on female political participation in the Arab world. This thesis examines how HH Sheikha Moza’s public statements have evolved from 2009 to 2018 in terms of linguistic features and content. The method used is both qualitative and quantitative. Unlike previous digital studies to date, this research employs two different digital tools: DocuScope and AntConc. DocuScope was used to trace statistically significant changes and to identify the variables that have changed over time. To complement these results, AntConc was employed in order to analyze unique word choices. Results suggest that there were significant differences between HH Sheikha Moza’s public statements over the period in question, specifically between the years 2009 and 2018. These were examined and compared here as being predominantly “ceremonial” vs. “realistic”. Thus, in 2009 she adopted a more ceremonial, positive, academic and institutional-idealist stance on education: she discusses education in the context of progress in knowledge and research, human potential and a promising future for Qatar and the region. In comparison, in 2018, she focuses on major international tribulations; her statements contain more narrative, character, negative and descriptive clusters. In particular, she makes striking references to human suffering and comes to an understanding that education depends on cultural, political, and economic tranquility. Her language in 2018 becomes much idealist-nationalist and much more realist about the savagery that conflict and war can exact on educational opportunity.
Renormalizable Non-Covariant Gauges and Coulomb Gauge Limit

description: To study ``physical'' gauges such as the Coulomb, light-cone, axial or temporal gauge, we consider ``interpolating'' gauges which interpolate linearly between a covariant gauge, such as the Feynman or Landau gauge, and a physical gauge. Lorentz breaking by the gauge-fixing term of interpolating gauges is controlled by extending the BRST method to include not only the local gauge group, but also the global Lorentz group. We enumerate the possible divergences of interpolating gauges, and show that they are renormalizable, and we show that the expectation value of physical observables is the same as in a covariant gauge. In the second part of the article we study the Coulomb-gauge as the singular limit of the Landau-Coulomb interpolating gauge. We find that unrenormalized and renormalized correlation functions are finite in this limit. We also find that there are finite two-loop diagrams of ``unphysical'' particles that are not present in formal canonical quantization in the Coulomb gauge. We verify that in the same limit, the Gauss-BRST Ward identity holds, which is the functional analog of the operator statement that a BRST transformation is generated by the Gauss-BRST charge. As a consequence, $gA_0$ is invariant under renormalization, whereas in a covariant gauge, no component of the gluon field has this property.

When semantics turns to substance: reformulating QCD analysis of F_2^γ(x,Q^2)}

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: QCD analysis of F_2^γ(x,Q^2) is revisited. It is emphasized that the presence of the inhomogeneous term in the evolution equations for quark distribution functions of the photon implies important difference in the way factorization mechanism works in photon-hadron and photon-photon collisions as compared to the hadronic ones. Moreover, a careful definitions of the very concepts of the ``leading order'' and ``next-to-leading order'' QCD analysis of F_2^γ are needed in order to separate genuine QCD effects from those of pure QED origin. After presenting such definitions, I show that all existing allegedly LO, as well as NLO analyses of F_2^γ(x,Q^2) are incomplete. The source of this incompleteness of the conventional approach is traced back to the lack of clear identification of QCD effects and to the misinterpretation of the behaviour of q^γ(x,M) as a function of α_s(M). Complete LO and NLO QCD analyses of F_2^γ(x,Q^2) are shown to differ substantially from the conventional ones. Whereas complete NLO analysis requires the knowledge of two so far uncalculated quantities, a complete LO one is currently possible, but compared to the conventional formulation requires the inclusion of four known, but in the existing LO analyses unused quantities. The arguments recently advanced in favour of the conventional approach are analyzed and shown to contain a serious flaw. If corrected, they actually lends support to my claim.

description: Motivated by a geometric decomposition of the vector field associated with the Gorini-Kossakowski-Lindblad-Sudarshan (GKLS) equation for finite-level open quantum systems, we propose a generalization of the recently introduced contact Hamiltonian systems for the description of dissipative-like dynamical systems in the context of (non-necessarily exact) contact manifolds. In particular, we show how this class of dynamical systems naturally emerges in the context of Lagrangian Mechanics and in the case of nonlinear evolutions on the space of pure states of a finite-level quantum system.

description: We propose a new continuous-discrete mixture regression model which is useful for describing highly censored data. We motivate our investigation based on a case-study in biometry related to measles vaccines in Haiti. In this case-study, the neutralization antibody level is explained by the type of vaccine used, level of the dosage and gender of the patient. This mixture model allows us to account for excess of censored observations and consists of the Birnbaum-Saunders and Bernoulli distributions. These distributions describe the antibody level and the point mass of the censoring observations. We estimate the model parameters with the maximum likelihood method. Numerical evaluation of the model is performed by Monte Carlo simulations and by an illustration with biometrical data, both of which show its good performance and its potential applications.

description: We have explored the effect of dark matter interaction on hybrid star (HS) in the light of recent astrophysical observational constraints. The presence of dark matter is assumed to be there in both the hadron as well as the quark sector. The dark matter particle interacts with both hadron and quark matter through the exchange of a scalar as well as a vector meson. The equation of state (EOS) of the hadron part is computed using the NL3 version of the relativistic mean field(RMF) model, whereas the quark part is taken care of using the well-known MIT Bag model with the vector interaction. We investigate the effect of the dark matter density and the mass of the dark matter particle on various observables like mass, radius, tidal deformability of the dark matter admixed hybrid star(DMAHS). In this study, we have noted an intriguing aspect that is the speed of sound in the DMAHS is insensitive to both the mass as well as the density of dark matter. We also observe a striking similarity in the variation of transition mass and its corresponding radius, as well as the maximum mass of neutron stars, with dark matter density and mass. We employ observational constraints from neutron stars to narrow down the allowed range of the parameters of dark matter.
Searching for crystal-ice domains in amorphous ices

description: We employ classical molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the molecular-level structure of water during the isothermal compression of hexagonal ice (I$h$) and low-density amorphous (LDA) ice at low temperatures. In both cases, the system transforms to high-density amorphous ice (HDA) via a first-order-like phase transition. We employ a sensitive local order metric (LOM) [Martelli et. al., Phys. Rev. B, 97, 064105 (2018)], that can discriminate among different crystalline and non crystalline ice structures and is based on the positions of the oxygen atoms in the first and/or second hydration shell. Our results confirm that LDA and HDA are indeed amorphous, i.e., they lack of polydispersed ice domains. Interestingly, HDA contains a small number of domains that are reminiscent of the unit cell of ice IV, although the hydrogen-bond network (HBN) of these domains differ from the HBN of ice IV. The presence of ice IV-like domains provides some support to the hypothesis that HDA could be the result of a detour on the HBN rearrangement along the I$h$-to-ice IV pressure induced transformation. Both nonequilibrium LDA-to-HDA and I$h$-to-HDA transformations are two-steps processes where a small distortion of the HBN first occurs at low pressures and then, a sudden, extensive re-arrangement of hydrogen bonds at the corresponding transformation pressure follows. Interestingly, the I$h$-to-HDA and LDA-to-HDA transformations occur when LDA and I$h$ have similar local order, as quantified by the site-averaged LOMs. Since I$h$ has a perfect tetrahedral HBN, while LDA does not, it follows that higher pressures are needed to transform I$h$ into HDA than that for the conversion of LDA to HDA. In correspondence with both first-order-like phase transitions, the samples are composed of a large HDA cluster that percolates within the I$h$/LDA samples.
Lambda polarization in pp -> pΛK^+ π^+π^-π^+π^-

description: We show that there is a correlation between the invariant mass of the produced ΛK^+, ΛK^+π^+π^- or ΛK^+ π^+π^-π^+π^- system in the exclusive reaction pp\to pΛK^+π^+π^-π^+π^- and the longitudinal or transverse momentum of $Λ$. Together with the longitudinal and transverse momentum dependence of Lambda polarization observed in inclusive reactions, such a correlation implies a dependence of Lambda polarization on these invariant masses. The qualitative features of this dependence are consistent with the recent observation by E766 collaboration at BNL. A quantitative estimation has been made using an event generator for $pp$ collisions. A detailed comparison with the data is made.

description: We use the Maximum Entropy Method (MaxEnt) to estimate the dynamic structure factor of superfluid He-4 at T=1 K, by inverting imaginary-time density correlation functions computed by a Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulation. Our procedure consists of a Metropolis random walk in the space of all possible spectral images, sampled from a probability density which includes the entropic prior, in the context of the so-called "classic" MaxEnt. Comparison with recent work by other authors shows that, contrary to what is often stated, sharp features in the reconstructed image are not "washed out" by the entropic prior if the underlying QMC data have sufficient accuracy. Only spurious features that tend to appear in a straightforward chi-square minimization are suppressed.

description: We use state-of-the art GW-BSE formalism to study electronic structure and optical properties of oxygen vacancies in $α$-alumina. Many body perturbation theory within GW approximation in recent years have been used extensively to study excited state properties of a wide range of systems. Moreover, solving Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) enable us to capture excitonic effects in a material. We compute the charge transition levels (CTLs) for oxygen vacancies using DFT+GW formalism. We propose an alternative approach to calculate these CTLs, which provides a more efficient way to perform electrostatic correction required because of finite supercell sizes and periodic boundary condition used in first principles calculations. We find that oxygen vacancy in this material has deep donor levels, (+2/+1) at 2.5 eV and a (+1/0) level at 3.8 eV above the VBM. We also study F-center absorption and emission processes using constrained--DFT and BSE. Our calculated absorption and emission energies are in excellent agreement with experimental results.

description: This article examines the particular aesthetic experience brought about by soundwalks. In each case, the point of departure is the phenomenological analysis of two case study: Janet Cardiff’s Walks and the audio-tours Remote x by Rimini Protokoll. Drawing upon Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, I will examine the conflicts of perception and the peculiar shift from one order of perception to another that punctuate the spectator’s walking, as well as the intertwining of the real and the imaginary coming into being in such performances and experienced at the very level of his bodily inscription in space. More specifically, my aim is to address the challenge that the aesthetic experience here in question sets to Husserl’s phenomenology of perception and to show how the extension of the notion of perception achieved by Merleau-Ponty makes it possible to overcome the paradox.

description: Polarization studies for heavy quarks can lead to important tests of the Standard Model. Top quark pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is considered near energy threshold. It is shown that for longitudinally polarized electrons the produced top quarks and antiquarks are highly polarized. Dynamical effects originating from strong interactions in the $t-\bar t$ system can be calculated using Green function method. Energy-angular distributions of leptons in semileptonic decays of polarized heavy quarks are sensitive to both the polarization of the decaying quark and V-A structure of the weak charged current. Some applications to $b$ quark physics at the $Z^0$ resonance are briefly reviewed.

description: The quantum nature of optical near-fields is interesting from a theoretical perspective and of importance for practical applications, such as high-resolution imaging, sensing and antenna-coupled quantum light sources. In this work we use a custom-designed superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) to directly read out the near-field interaction between source and detector. We use a subwavelength-sized aperture at the end of an optical fiber to record spatial near-field maps and to measure the distance dependence of the optical near-field interaction. Our measurements can be well described by a superposition of evanescent source fields with no noticeable probe-sample coupling. Our approach can be used for further studies of quantum near-field interactions and for the development of near-field imaging techniques with single quantum sensitivity.

description: We formally introduce a systematic (de/re)-composition approach, based on the algebraic formalism of "Multi-Dimensional Homomorphisms (MDHs)". Our approach is designed as general enough to be applicable to a wide range of data-parallel computations and for various kinds of target parallel architectures. To efficiently target the deep and complex memory and core hierarchies of contemporary architectures, we exploit our introduced (de/re)-composition approach for a correct-by-construction, parametrized cache blocking and parallelization strategy. We show that our approach is powerful enough to express, in the same formalism, the (de/re)-composition strategies of different classes of state-of-the-art approaches (scheduling-based, polyhedral, etc), and we demonstrate that the parameters of our strategies enable systematically generating code that can be fully automatically optimized (auto-tuned) for the particular target architecture and characteristics of the input and output data (e.g., their sizes and memory layouts). Particularly, our experiments confirm that via auto-tuning, we achieve higher performance than state-of-the-art approaches, including hand-optimized solutions provided by vendors (such as NVIDIA cuBLAS/cuDNN and Intel oneMKL/oneDNN), on real-world data sets and for a variety of data-parallel computations, including: linear algebra routines, stencil and quantum chemistry computations, data mining algorithms, and computations that recently gained high attention due to their relevance for deep learning.

AI-Enhanced Public Health Strategies for Infectious Disease Prediction and Control
Creators: name: Researchscholar
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many domains, and its integration into public health has provenparticularly crucial in the prediction and control of infectious diseases. With the increasing frequency of disease outbreaks andthe global interconnectedness of societies, traditional public health approaches often fall short in providing timely and effectiveresponses. AI offers robust solutions through predictive analytics, real-time data processing, and pattern recognition to forecastdisease trends, identify hotspots, and optimize intervention strategies. This paper explores the role of AI in enhancing publichealth systems to combat infectious diseases by leveraging machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, and datadriven models. It highlights successful case studies, discusses the integration of AI with epidemiological tools, and addresses the ethical and infrastructural challenges involved. The discussion aims to demonstrate how AI can transform public healthstrategies into proactive, scalable, and efficient systems capable of mitigating the spread of infectious diseases.
The mimetic creation of the Imaginary
Creators: name: Wulf, Christoph
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2019

description: Young children learn to make sense of the world through mimetic processes. These processes are focused to begin with on their parents, brothers and sisters and people they know well. Young children want to become like these persons. They are driven by the desire to become like them, which will mean that they belong and are part of them and their world. Young children, and indeed humans in general are social beings. They, more than all non-human primates, are social beings who cannot survive without the Other. In mimetic processes the outside world becomes the inner world and the inner world becomes the outside world. The imaginary is developed and the imaginary develops ways of relating to the outside world. In a mimetic loop, this in turn affects the inner world of the imaginary. These processes are sensory and governed by desire. All the senses are involved which means that the imaginary has multiple layers. Since there is an intermingling of images, emotions and language, these processes are rooted in the body and at the same time transcend the body as they become part of the imaginary. Human beings create images of themselves in all cultures and historical periods. They need these images to understand themselves and their relationship to other human beings and to develop social relations and communities. Images of the human being are designs and projections of the human being and his or her relationship to other people and to the world. They are formed to visualize representations of individuals or aspects of them. They arise when we communicate about ourselves. They support us to live with diversities and to develop similarities and feelings of belonging with other people. They are the result of complex anthropological processes, in which social and cultural power structures play an important role.

description: The Gaussian wavefunctional approach is developed in thermofield dynamics. We manufacture thermal vacuum wavefunctional, its creation as well as annihilation operators,and accordingly thermo-particle excited states. For a (D+1)-dimensional scalar field system with an arbitrary potential whose Fourier representation exists in a sense of tempered distributions, we calculate the finite temperature Gaussian effective potential (FTGEP), one- and two-thermo-particle-state energies. The zero-temperature limit of each of them is just the corresponding result in quantum field theory, and the FTGEP can lead to the same one of each of some concrete models as calculated by the imaginary time Green function.

description: On a global level, ecological communities are being perturbed at an unprecedented rate by human activities and environmental instabilities. Yet, we understand little about what factors facilitate or impede long-term persistence of these communities. While observational studies indicate that increased biodiversity must, somehow, be driving stability, theoretical studies have argued the exact opposite viewpoint instead. This encouraged many researchers to participate in the ongoing diversity-stability debate. Within this context, however, there has been a severe lack of studies that consider spatial features explicitly, even though nearly all habitats are spatially embedded. To this end, we study here the linear stability of meta-ecosystems on networks that describe how discrete patches are connected by dispersal between them. By combining results from random-matrix theory and network theory, we are able to show that there are three distinct features that underlie stability: edge density, tendency to triadic closure, and isolation or fragmentation. Our results appear to further indicate that network sparsity does not necessarily reduce stability, and that connections between patches are just as, if not more, important to consider when studying the stability of large ecological systems.

This analysis will lead us to consider aesthetics as a key frame of reference indispensable for investigating the creative and freely productive character of the processes through which individuals reproduce and transform their culture.

description: We study theoretically and numerically the coupling and rotational hydrodynamic interactions between spherical particles near a planar elastic membrane that exhibits resistance towards shear and bending. Using a combination of the multipole expansion and Faxen's theorems, we express the frequency-dependent hydrodynamic mobility functions as a power series of the ratio of the particle radius to the distance from the membrane for the self mobilities, and as a power series of the ratio of the radius to the interparticle distance for the pair mobilities. In the quasi-steady limit of zero frequency, we find that the shear- and bending-related contributions to the particle mobilities may have additive or suppressive effects depending on the membrane properties in addition to the geometric configuration of the interacting particles relative to the confining membrane. To elucidate the effect and role of the change of sign observed in the particle self and pair mobilities, we consider an example involving a torque-free doublet of counterrotating particles near an elastic membrane. We find that the induced rotation rate of the doublet around its center of mass may differ in magnitude and direction depending on the membrane shear and bending properties. Near a membrane of only energetic resistance toward shear deformation, such as that of a certain type of elastic capsules, the doublet undergoes rotation of the same sense as observed near a no-slip wall. Near a membrane of only energetic resistance toward bending, such as that of a fluid vesicle, we find a reversed sense of rotation. Our analytical predictions are supplemented and compared with fully resolved boundary integral simulations where a very good agreement is obtained over the whole range of applied frequencies.

description: In the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, we compute the leading double-logarithmic corrections of order alpha_s^3 ln^2(1/alpha_s) to the heavy-quark-antiquark bound-state wave function at the origin, which determines the production and annihilation rates of heavy quarkonia. The phenomenological implications for the top-antitop and Upsilon systems are discussed.

Playing with pattern. Aesthetic communication as distributed cognition

description: This article’s main thesis is that aesthetic communication has evolved from animal social play to forms of extraordinary complexity such as traditional arts, helping to preserve and transfer survival oriented information in a preverbal, or embodied form. Following this line of argument, aesthetic communication provides the basis for an adaptive modeling of reality wherein the agents engaged simulate potential exchanges and outcomes with factual or fictive entities, further enhancing – by proxy – their ability to predict and adapt to natural and intentional contingencies. By means of aesthetic communication human cognition has become distributed, i.e. off-loaded in the practices, customs and emotional templates readily available in culture. In this light, the decline of traditional societies and the isolation of art practices that results from it, are to be considered subjects of scientific concern in addressing the societal and ecological crisis we confront today.

description: The stability of gemcitabine anticancer drug on the functionalized (8,0) zigzag carbon nanotube as a drug delivery vehicle is studied within the formalism of the density functional theory calculations to understand the role of the pyrrolidine functional group in binding the adsorbed molecule to the drug delivery system as well as improving water solubility. The binding energies, natural bond orbital calculations, and the quantum theory of atoms in molecules results are obtained to provide more evidences related to the intermolecular interaction between gemcitabine drug and the functionalized nanotube. The negative binding energy corresponds to favorable binding of gemcitabine drug to the functionalized nanotube and presence of the active sites available for hydrogen bond formation facilitates better drug binding to the nanotube sidewall. The results presented in this article indicate that pyrrolidine functionalized carbon nanotube seems to be a novel material for drug delivery applications. Communicated by Heidar Moradnia
From Aesthetic to Epistemic Structures and back: Complex Dynamics between Art and Science

description: We often forget that art and science are not dissociated, nor indeed antagonistic, but rather allow a creative interplay to emerge from which arises the generation of new forms of knowledge (Miller [1995]: 190). According to Parkinson, “the analogy between the new painting and the new physics consists in that elements formerly held as cognitive or conceptual a-prioris enter as constitutive factors in the very structure of the edifices of art and science” (Parkinson [2008]: 161). How exactly does it work? If for us nowadays it’s relatively easy to think of the mimetic moment of art as a prelude to geometry, it is not so trivial to claim how higher-order representational symbolic epistemic structures (h.o.r.s.e.s.) arise from the lifeworld, or simply how both interact together. The aim of this paper is to stake out the complexity of processes going from the lifeworld and, before that, from the life of pictorial language, to h.o.r.s.e.s., in order to apply this model to further enquiries. In the first part, we will reactivate the Kantian interdependence between aesthetics and epistemology via the intersubjective dimension, in order to understand how the shaping of forms and the figuring-out patterns remain an essential component of any epistemic structure as such. In the second part, moving from Hacking, Husserl and Foucault, we will look into the way in which the evidence of symbolic structures can be maintained even alongside a genetic conception of science. Art plays an essential role in such a conception, in that it opens new horizons of figurativity in which new shapes can arise and new kinds of objectivities (Gegenständlichkeiten) can be accepted as belonging to our epistemic experience of the world.

description: Optical computing is considered a promising solution for the growing demand for parallel computing in various cutting-edge fields, requiring high integration and high speed computational capacity. In this paper, we propose a novel optical computation architecture called diffraction casting (DC) for flexible and scalable parallel logic operations. In DC, a diffractive neural network (DNN) is designed for single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) operations. This approach allows for the alteration of logic operations simply by changing the illumination patterns. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for encoding and decoding the input and output, respectively, by introducing a buffer around the input area, facilitating end-to-end all-optical computing. We numerically demonstrate DC by performing all 16 logic operations on two arbitrary 256 bits parallel binary inputs. Additionally, we showcase several distinctive attributes inherent in DC, such as the benefit of cohesively designing the diffractive elements for SIMD logic operations, assuring high scalability and integration capability. Our study offers a novel design architecture for optical computers and paves the way for a next-generation optical computing paradigm.

description: In the I=0 sector there are more scalar mesons than can fit in one $q{\bar q}$ nonet. Consequently, many have claimed that there is in fact more than one multiplet, perhaps both $q{\bar q}$ and $qq{\bar {qq}}$. Such proposals require the existence of at least two strange isodoublets (and their antiparticles). The current PDG Tables list just one state, the $K^*_0(1430)$, while fits to data with Breit-Wigner forms and variable backgrounds can accommodate a $κ(900)$ too. Whether a state exists in the spectrum of hadrons is not a matter of ability to fit data along the real energy axis, but is completely specified by the number of poles in the complex energy plane. Here we perform a model-independent analytic continuation of $πK$ scattering results between 825 MeV and 2 GeV to determine the number and position of resonance poles. We find that there {\bf is} a $K^*_0(1430)$, but {\bf no} $κ(900)$. The LASS data cannot rule out the possibility of a very low mass $κ$ well below 825 MeV.
