description: We show a method to protect quantum states from the disturbance due to the random potential by successive rapid manipulations of the quantum states. The quantum states are kept undisturbed for a longer time than the case of the simple trapping with a stationary potential. The effective potential, which the quantum states feel, becomes uniform when the velocity of the transport is sufficiently large. It is also shown that the alternating transport of a Bose-Einstein condensate with the driving potential derived by fast-forward scaling theory [Masuda and Nakamura, Proc. R. Soc. A 466, 1135 (2010)] can protect it from the disturbance.

description: The bed shape of many tidal basins in coastal regions is characterized by complex patterns of channels and shoals, which exhibit cyclic behaviour, resulting from the interplay among water motion, sediment transport and bottom changes. A depth-averaged (2DH) idealized model is developed to directly identify morphodynamic equilibria in short semi-enclosed meso-tidal inlet systems with arbitrary planform geometries using a continuation approach. By means of this model, the morphodynamic equilibria in short tidal basins are systematically studied, with a specific focus on their sensitivity to the Coriolis effect and variations in planform geometry.
 The model results show that in the case of a sufficient degree of widening in the landward direction, the equilibrium bed profile exhibits significant lateral structures, characterized by a central shallow ridge flanked by two deeper channels. The first channel bifurcation, as observed in many short tidal inlet systems, is forced by the planform geometry of the basin and is sensitive to the exact planform geometry considered. The associated physical mechanisms are explained. Furthermore, two mechanisms inducing asymmetric morphodynamic equilibria are investigated, of which the effect of an asymmetric basin planform seems to be dominant over that of the Coriolis force.

description: The COVID-19 has changed our way of life dramatically over the past few months. People spend more time staying home with family, but it does not mean that everyone is safe at home. The United Nations has highlighted the emerging evidence of the impact of the recent global pandemic of COVID-19 on violence against women and children. Globally, there are 243 million women and girls aged 15-29 who have been subjected to sexual and/or physical violence perpetrated by an intimate partner in the previous 12 months. The number is “likely to INCREASE” as security, health, and money worries heighten tensions and strains are accentuated by cramped and confined living conditions during the pandemic. According to a UN report, Argentina, Australia, Canada, UK, France, Germany, South Africa, the US, among others, reported significant increases in domestic violence reports.

description: Let $M^3$ be a 3-dimensional manifold with fundamental group $π_1(M)$ which contains a quaternion subgroup $Q$ of order 8. In 1979 Cappell and Shaneson constructed a nontrivial normal map $ f\colon M^3\times T^2\to M^3\times S^2$ which cannot be detected by simply connected surgery obstructions along submanifolds of codimension 0, 1, or 2, but it can be detected by the codimension 3 Kervaire-Arf invariant. The proof of non-triviality of $σ(f)\in L_5(π_1(M))$ is based on consideration of a Browder-Livesay filtration of a manifold $X$ with $π_1(X)\cong π_1(M)$. For a Browder-Livesay pair $Y^{n-1}\subset X^n$, the restriction of a normal map to the submanifold $Y$ is given by a partial multivalued map $Γ\colon L_n(π_1(X))\to L_{n-1}(π_1(Y))$, and the Browder-Livesay filtration provides an iteration $Γ^n$. This map is a basic step in the definition of the iterated Browder-Livesay invariants which give obstructions to realization of surgery obstructions by normal maps of closed manifolds. In the present paper we prove that $Γ^3(σ(f))=0$ for any Browder-Livesay filtration of a manifold $X^{4k+1}$ with $π_1(X)\cong Q$. We compute splitting obstruction groups for various inclusions $ρ\to Q$ of index 2, describe natural maps in the braids of exact sequences, and make more precise several results about surgery obstruction groups of the group $Q$.

description: Newspapers contain a wealth of historical information in the form of articles and illustrations. Library and cultural heritage institutions have been digitizing their collections for decades to enable web-based access and retrieval of information. Since digitized collections only include page-level metadata, it is challenging to find information about a specific context. In order to address this challenge, article-level information was segmented based on layout analysis techniques. Afterward, an image classification algorithm is used to filter articles that contain building images. An image's caption can provide information about its location. To validate the location information, a textual query is used to search Google for recent images of a historical location. By matching image features, irrelevant results will be filtered out. The historic images were then rephotographed, which is a notoriously challenging and complex process. These results can also be used by researchers in the humanities and cultural heritage to investigate spatiotemporal changes within a region or place.

description: The topological insulator properties of CdTe/HgTe/CdTe quantum wells are theoretically studied. The CdTe/HgTe/CdTe quantum well behaves as a topological insulator beyond a critical well width dimension. It is shown that if the barrier(CdTe) and well-region(HgTe) are altered by replacing them with the alloy Cd$_{x}% $Hg$_{1-x}$Te of various stoichiometries, the critical width can be changed.The critical quantum well width is shown to depend on temperature, applied stress, growth directions and external electric fields. Based on these results, a novel device concept is proposed that allows to switch between a normal semiconducting and topological insulator state through application of moderate external electric fields.

description: We analyze the phase space of Bianchi I cosmologies filled by a spin fluid in the framework of $f(R)$-gravity with torsion using a combination of the dynamical systems approach and the 1+3 covariant formalism. In the simple case of $f(R)=R^n$ our results allow a quantification of the role of torsion and the spin of the cosmic fluid in the evolution of the cosmology. While torsion is able to modify the cosmological dynamics with respect to the purely metric case, the spin has little influence on the cosmology. We argue that this is due to the different symmetries of the tensor characterizing the anisotropies and the spin tensor. The cosmological model we analyzed presents isotropization for a wide set of initial conditions and values of the parameters and allows for two types of exotic bounce solutions.

Considerations include group size and formation (assigned or student choice) and how group members will be held accountable. Diversity, equity and inclusion is an important consideration that is just beginning to be explored in the context of group dynamics and group work. As part of our working group for the BIOME Institute 2022, we explored the current framework for group work: https://lse.ascb.org/evidence-based-teaching-guides, and identified gaps for development of additional resources related to DEI, Assessment, and Students guide. We identified published studies specific to DEI and group work and created a document and template that the community can use to explore the identified resources and continue adding new ones. In addition, we proposed a similar strategy to identify resources related to assessment of group work in particular settings. We also propose organizing this information into a guide oriented towards students rather than instructors.

description: WebView is an essential component in Android and iOS. It enables applications to display content from on-line resources. It simplifies task of performing a network request, parsing the data and rendering it. WebView uses a number of APIs which can interact with the web contents inside WebView. In the current paper, Cross-site scripting attacks or XSS attacks specific to Android WebView are discussed. Cross site scripting (XSS) is a type of vulnerability commonly found in web applications. This vulnerability makes it possible for attackers to run malicious code into victim's WebView,through HttpClient APIs. Using this malicious code, the attackers can steal the victim's credentials, such as cookies. The access control policies (that is,the same origin policy) employed by the browser to protect those credentials can be bypassed by exploiting the XSS vulnerability.

description: Abstract

The aim of the present study is to bring together the impact of numerous research papers and publications in the field of retail and consumer behavior and reveal their influencing factors through an in-depth analysis of the relevant literature to identify the behavioral dynamics of retail customers compared to offline purchases. Before, sometime and after the Covid-19 epidemic. For this reason, empirical web and offline studies on the purchasing behavior of customers were tested. For the bibliographic research, a search term limited to a specific date and specific online databases was used. Only peer-reviewed articles in English-language journals can be considered for review. After a comprehensive literature search, 70 relevant articles were identified. The factors influencing the purchase intentions of online and offline shoppers before, during and after the Covid-19 outbreak have been classified according to their similarity and style. The literature was dissected into many components that influence the buyer's purchasing behavior, and then the study framework was designed based on the content analysis of various academic courses. The study presents a conceptual framework to examine the elements that influence online and offline purchasing behavior. The disadvantage of this study is that it is a conceptual study without actual examination of the factors. Connection. The variety of articles observed is limited due to the terminological search approach used. In the virtual age, a consumer can interact with a retailer's digital store to purchase services or products online. With one click, the consumer can access data sets about products and services. Today, customers are just a click away from evaluating competitors' products and capabilities. The influence of digital advertising on buyer behavior is visible worldwide. This observation is an attempt to understand the impact on customer behavior, especially within the customer purchasing behavior process, considering two areas of virtual marketing viz. Volume. Online advertising and digital word of mouth (D-WOM) in the form of product ratings and user-generated reviews. The study used a combined research approach, i.e. High Qualitative and quantitative research in which 20 participants were extensively interviewed in qualitative practice to obtain accurate data. In the quantitative study, a survey was conducted with 800 randomly selected samples after confirming the eligibility of respondents. Digital advertising has been shown to have a significant impact on consumer behavior, particularly in certain cities.

description: In processes involving small-x partons, like in deep inelastic scattering and in hadronic collisions at high energy, the final state can be expressed in terms of correlators of Wilson lines. We study such high-point correlators evolving according to the JIMWLK equation and we confirm the results of previous numerical and analytic work, by using an independent method, that the solution to the JIMWLK equation can be very well approximated by an appropriate Gaussian wavefunction. We explore both fixed and running coupling evolution, where in the latter the scale is set according to various prescriptions. As a byproduct, we also numerically confirm to high accuracy the validity of the law governing the behavior of the S-matrix close to the unitarity limit, the Levin-Tuchin formula. We furthermore outline how to calculate correlators with open color indices.

description: We demonstrate that a completely integrable classical mechanical model, namely the lattice Landau-Lifshitz classical spin chain, supports diffusive spin transport with a finite diffusion constant in the easy-axis regime, while in the easy-plane regime it displays ballistic transport in the absence of any known relevant local or quasi-local constant of motion in the symmetry sector of the spin current. This surprising finding should open the way towards analytical computation of diffusion constants for integrable interacting systems and hints on existence of new quasi-local classical conservation laws beyond the standard soliton theory.

3D Flow and Mixing in Open-Channel Confluences

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Open-channel confluences are important junctions in fluvial and artificial networks, which regulate the mixing phenomena of substances transported by the merging flows. The present research aims at investigating how the bed morphology, like the presence of a scour hole and a depositional bar, influences the flow patterns and mixing phenomena at a T-shaped open-channel confluence with a wider downstream channel. Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are applied to compare the flow and passive scalar transport processes at two different bed morphologies: the flat bed and the degraded bed. The results clearly show that in the degraded bed case, the reverse flow zone is shorter and narrower, even absent near the bed, due to the complex interaction of the flow with the scour hole and the depositional bar. Moreover, the degree of contraction of the main flow is less in the degraded bed case. Despite the differences in flow patterns, the degree of mixing in the confluence zone is first very similar for the degraded and the flat bed cases. Only when going more downstream, there is a higher degree of mixing for the flat bed, which may be attributed to the differences in the turbulence levels and the mixing interface.

description: We study possibilities to define a static quark anti-quark pair in a colour-adjoint orientation based on Wilson loops with generator insertions, using both lattice QCD and leading order perturbation theory in various gauges. Non-perturbatively, the only way to obtain non-zero results while maintaining positivity of the Hamiltonian is by some form of temporal gauge. In this case the correlator is equivalent to a gauge invariant correlation function of a static quark anti-quark pair and a static adjoint quark, the resulting three-point potential is attractive. Saturating open colour indices with colour magnetic fields instead also leads to a gauge invariant correlator. However this object is found to couple to the singlet sector only. There appears to be no lattice observable that reproduces the repulsive adjoint potential predicted by perturbation theory in Lorenz or Coulomb gauges.

We focus in detail on the example of a spin qubit formed by the singlet-triplet subspace of two electron spins in a GaAs double quantum dot, although our approach is quite general.

description: It is well known that a system of homogeneous second-order ordinary differential equations (spray) is necessarily isotropic in order to be metrizable by a Finsler function of scalar flag curvature. In Theorem 3.1 we show that the isotropy condition, together with three other conditions on the Jacobi endomorphism, characterize sprays that are metrizable by Finsler functions of scalar flag curvature. The proof of Theorem 3.1 provides an algorithm to construct the Finsler function of scalar flag curvature, in the case when a given spray is metrizable. One condition of Theorem 3.1, regarding the regularity of the sought after Finsler function, can be relaxed. By relaxing this condition, we provide examples of sprays that are metrizable by conic pseudo-Finsler functions as well as degenerate Finsler functions. Hilbert's fourth problem asks to determine the Finsler functions with rectilinear geodesics. A Finsler function that is a solution to Hilbert's fourth problem is necessarily of constant or scalar flag curvature. Therefore, we can use the conditions of [11, Theorem 4.1] and Theorem 3.1 to test when the projective deformations of a flat spray, which are isotropic, are metrizable by Finsler functions of constant or scalar flag curvature. We show how to use the algorithms provided by the proofs of [11, Theorem 4.1] and Theorem 3.1 to construct solutions to Hilbert's fourth problem.

description: This paper discusses the empirical validity of Goodwin's (1967) macroeconomic model of growth with cycles by assuming that the individual income distribution of the Brazilian society is described by the Gompertz-Pareto distribution (GPD). This is formed by the combination of the Gompertz curve, representing the overwhelming majority of the population (~99%), with the Pareto power law, representing the tiny richest part (~1%). In line with Goodwin's original model, we identify the Gompertzian part with the workers and the Paretian component with the class of capitalists. Since the GPD parameters are obtained for each year and the Goodwin macroeconomics is a time evolving model, we use previously determined, and further extended here, Brazilian GPD parameters, as well as unemployment data, to study the time evolution of these quantities in Brazil from 1981 to 2009 by means of the Goodwin dynamics. This is done in the original Goodwin model and an extension advanced by Desai et al. (2006). As far as Brazilian data is concerned, our results show partial qualitative and quantitative agreement with both models in the studied time period, although the original one provides better data fit. Nevertheless, both models fall short of a good empirical agreement as they predict single center cycles which were not found in the data. We discuss the specific points where the Goodwin dynamics must be improved in order to provide a more realistic representation of the dynamics of economic systems.

description: We report deep ALMA observations complemented with associated HST imaging for a luminous (m_uv=25) galaxy, `Himiko', at a redshift z=6.595. The galaxy is remarkable for its high star formation rate, 100 Mo/yr, securely estimated from our deep HST and Spitzer photometry, and the absence of any evidence for strong AGN activity or gravitational lensing magnification. Our ALMA observations probe an order of magnitude deeper than previous IRAM observations, yet fail to detect a 1.2mm dust continuum, indicating a flux <52uJy comparable with or weaker than that of local dwarf irregulars with much lower star formation rates. We likewise provide a strong upper limit for the flux of [CII] 158um, L([CII]) < 5.4x10^7 Lo, a diagnostic of the hot interstellar gas often described as a valuable probe for early galaxies. In fact, our observations indicate Himiko lies off the local L([CII]) - star formation rate scaling relation by a factor of more than 30. Both aspects of our ALMA observations suggest Himiko is an unique object with a very low dust content and perhaps nearly primordial interstellar gas. Our HST images provide unique insight into the morphology of this remarkable source, highlighting an extremely blue core of activity and two less extreme associated clumps. Himiko is undergoing a triple major merger event whose extensive ionized nebula of Lyman alpha emitting gas, discovered in our earlier work with Subaru, is powered by star formation and the dense circum-galactic gas. We are likely witnessing an early massive galaxy during a key period of its mass assembly close to the end of the reionization era.

description: Localized wave fronts are a fundamental feature of biological systems from cell biology to ecology. Here, we study a broad class of bistable models subject to self-activation, degradation and spatially inhomogeneous activating agents. We determine the conditions under which wave-front localization is possible and analyze the stability thereof with respect to extrinsic perturbations and internal noise. It is found that stability is enhanced upon regulating a positional signal and, surprisingly, also for a low degree of binding cooperativity. We further show a contrasting impact of self-activation to the stability of these two sources of destabilization.

description: We derive a system of stochastic differential equations simulating the dynamics of the three agent groups with herding interaction. Proposed approach can be valuable in the modeling of the complex socio-economic systems with similar composition of the agents. We demonstrate how the sophisticated statistical features of the absolute return in the financial markets can be reproduced by extending the herding interaction of the agents and introducing the third agent state. As well we consider possible extension of proposed herding model introducing additional exogenous noise. Such consistent microscopic and macroscopic model precisely reproduces empirical power law statistics of the return in the financial markets.

TiNb alloys

description: Abstract: Metastable β titanium alloys, such as Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn, have potential for application in vibration damping systems due to their ability to display superelastic behaviour. However, their use is currently limited due to large variations in the temperature range over which this behaviour is stable, which can additionally be shown to depend on the thermal history of the sample. This study demonstrates the sensitivity of the microstructure to thermal history and highlights a possible cause for this variability. Currently held theories of ω formation supressing the martensitic transformation have been called into question and an alternative mechanism based on a total stress approach has been suggested. Understanding this variability enables better design of alloys and processing routes in order to achieve materials with the desired properties required for industrial application.

Mission-Aransas Estuary

description: Estuaries are sites where rivers meet the ocean, marked by dynamic physical, chemical, and biological variability, making them particularly vulnerable to the effects of global climate change and shifting freshwater inflow regimes. Arid subtropical climates oscillate between drought and wet conditions, leading to a “flood or famine” paradigm for estuarine freshwater inflow, in which sporadic storm events drive dynamic changes in salinity and nutrient availability. In turn, these physical inputs can alter particulate organic matter (POM) sources, composition, and quality, with cascading consequences for trophic webs and overall carbon production and storage. Over the past decade, the Mission-Aransas Estuary (MAE), located on the south Texas coast, experienced several significant climatic events: severe drought, sequential flooding events, and the direct impact of category 4 Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Multiple biomarkers from an eight-year twice monthly sample set (2012-2019) were used to assess POM quantity, quality, and composition. POM was quantified using elemental analysis of organic carbon and nitrogen. POM sources, including phytoplankton community composition, were determined using pigments, stable isotopes (δ¹³C, δ¹⁵N), and neutral and polar fatty acids. POM quality was assessed using total hydrolyzable amino acids (THAAs), phospholipid linked fatty acids (PLFAs), and chloropigments (chlorophyll a, pheophorbide, and pheophytin). This research shows the transition from drought to wet conditions was more influential on POM source, composition, quantity, and quality than any individual storm event, including Hurricane Harvey. Drought conditions dampened phytoplankton biomass growth and elevated POM degradation. Following sequential flooding events, phytoplankton biomass and highly labile biomolecules (THAAs and polyunsaturated PLFAs) increased, improving overall POM quality. The phytoplankton community, dominated by diatoms during the drought, switched to a stable cyanobacteria-dominated community following estuarine freshening, driven by salinity and nutrient availability with seasonal growth oscillations between taxa. The drought-to-wet transition event represented a climate-driven regime shift of the estuarine phytoplankton community and POM quality to a new steady state. Characterizing POM sources and composition at high sampling resolution across timescales long enough to capture extreme climatic events is critical to understanding the weathering capacity of estuarine systems, the importance of antecedent conditions on disturbance events, and the potential outcomes for primary producers, fisheries, and organic carbon storage in a climatically uncertain future.

Here the detailed discussion on the simple caces, $^{1}S_{0},\ m=M$ and $m \neq M$ is given deriving the exact energy eigenvalues. The $α^2$ expansion is used to find radial wave functions. The leading term is given by classical Coulomb wave function. The technique used here can be applied to other cases.

An extremely high photometric precision in ground-based observations of two transits in the WASP-50 planetary system

description: We present photometric observations of two transits in the WASP-50 planetary system, obtained using the ESO New Technology Telescope and the defocussed-photometry technique. The rms scatters for the two datasets are 258 and 211\,ppm with a cadence of 170 to 200\,s, setting a new record for ground-based photometric observations of a point source. The data were modelled and fitted using the \textsc{prism} and \textsc{gemc} codes, and the physical properties of the system calculated. We find the mass and radius of the hot star to be $0.861\pm 0.057\Msun$ and $0.855\pm0.019\Rsun$, respectively. For the planet we find a mass of $1.437\pm 0.068\Mjup$, a radius of $1.138\pm0.026\Rjup$ and a density of $0.911\pm0.033\pjup$. These values are consistent with but more precise than those found in the literature. We also obtain a new orbital ephemeris for the system: $ T_0 = {\rm BJD/TDB} \,\, 2\,455\,558.61237 (20) \, + \, 1.9550938 (13) \times E $.

Camponotus Radovae, Forel, Bulletin de la Société entomologique de Belgique (1886).
Extrêmement voisin du C. Darwinii, dont il se distingue par les caracteres suivants:
[[worker]] Major. Longueur 8 à to mill. Longueur d'une antenne 4,7, d'un tibia postérieur 2,7 mill. Tête large de 2,7 mill., longue de 2,6 mill. Epistome sans carène presque sans lobe antérieur, biéchancré (cependant le lobe du C. Darwinii est si court que la différence n'est pas forte). Aire frontale bien plus grande, occupant un bon tiers du bord postérieur de l'épistome, mais peu distincte. La face basale du métanotum est bien plus large, un peu plus courte que la face déclive. Les sutures pro-mésono- tale et méso-métanotale sont toutes deux très larges et très luisantes. La sculpture est exactement comme chez le C. Darwinii, mais un peu plus faible, de sorte que la tête et le thorax ne sont nulle part entièrement mats. La ponctuation superposée offre les mêmes particularités que chez le C. Darwinii, mais chez une grande variété de Morondava les grosses fossettes sont presque nulles.
La pilosité est d'un blanc jaunâtre, plus fine et plus pointue que chez le C. Darwinii, et surtout beaucoup moins abondante, quoique disposée d'une façon analogue sur le thorax. Sur l'abdomen, elle est dispersée et ne forme pas de pelisse. La pubescence adjacente d'un blanc jaunâtre est fine, plus abondante et plus longue que chez le C. Darwinii, quoique espacée sur l'abdomen et le thorax, presque nulle sur les pattes. Elle est bien distincte de la pilosité (chez le C. Darwinii, elle ne s'en distingue pas).
Formicides.

Entièrement noir; mandibules, extrémité des tarses, des funicules et des segments abdominaux d'un brunâtre foncé.
[[worker]] Minor. Longueur 5,8 à 7 mill. Diffère de la [[worker]] major comme celle du C. Darwinii. Tête large, plus large derrière que devant. La face basale du métanotum est de la même longueur que la face déclive. Pronotum à épaules et bord antérieur très nets. Epistome subcaréné, avec un lobe antérieur rectangulaire très court. Mandibules et tarses d'un brun plus rougeâtre que chez la [[worker]] major.
Madagascar (M. Grandidier); Imerina (Antananarivô, etc.) (Hildebrandt, Musée de Berlin; Rév. Père Camboué); Morondava, sur la côte Ouest (M. Grevé).
Celte espèce paraît au premier abord très différente du C. Darwinii et ressemble à un C. pubescens d'Europe en très petit. Un examen plus attentif laisse reconnaître de grandes affinités avec le C. Darwinii, qui n'est probablement qu'une race du C. Radovae.

description: Near perfect infrared light absorption at multi-spectral wavelengths has been experimentally demonstrated by using multiplexed metal square plasmon resonance structures. Optical power absorption over 95% has been observed in dual-band metamaterial absorbers at two separate wavelengths and optical power absorption over 92.5% has been observed in triple-band metamaterial absorbers at three separate wavelengths. The peak absorption wavelengths are primarily determined by the sizes of the metal squares in the multiplexed structures. Electrical field distributions in the middle of the dielectric spacer layer were calculated at the peak absorption wavelengths. It is shown that strong light absorption corresponds to the local quadrupole plasmon resonance modes in the metamaterial structures.
