description: In this paper, we explore various forms of osmotic transport in the regime of high solute concentration. We consider both the osmosis across membranes and diffusio-osmosis at solid interfaces, driven by solute concentration gradients. We follow a mechanical point of view of osmotic transport, which allows us to gain much insight into the local mechanical balance underlying osmosis. We demonstrate in particular how the general expression of the osmotic pressure for mixtures, as obtained classically from the thermodynamic framework, emerges from the mechanical balance controlling non-equilibrium transport under solute gradients. Expressions for the rejection coefficient of osmosis and the diffusio-osmotic mobilities are accordingly obtained. These results generalize existing ones in the dilute solute regime to mixtures with arbitrary concentrations.

description: The genus Anthemis has a circum-Mediterranean distribution and comprises c. 175 annual, biennial, and perennial species with polyploid species and species complexes found in its section A. sect. Hiorthia. In Sicily, the genus is represented by 13 species, one of these being the tetraploid A. cupaniana, which is endemic to the island and is distributed throughout the limestone mountains at elevations between 500 and 1800 m a.s.l. Discordant positions in phylogenetic trees based on two plastid regions (psbA-trnH and trnC-petN) and on one nuclear marker (nrDNA ITS1 + 5.8S + ITS2) reveal that the species is of allopolyploid origin, with the maternal parent from the species group around A. cretica and the paternal one from a monophyletic group comprising mostly N African representatives around A. pedunculata. Owing to the fact that the latter group also comprises the Sicilian perennial and diploid A. ismelia and that A. cretica has been found with diploid populations in the C Sicilian Madonie Mts, these two species are considered being the most probable parental diploids of A. cupaniana. The close relationship of A. ismelia with the N African A. pedunculata group supports the biogeographical interpretation of A. cupaniana being the result of a ‘collision’ between diploids from the southern (African) and northern (Eurasian) platforms after dispersal along a Pleistocene corridor in the Sicilian channel.

description: This investigation derives formulas to predict the mixed convective surface conductance of a flat isotropic surface roughness having a convex perimeter in a Newtonian fluid with a steady forced flow in the plane of that roughness.
 Heat transfer measurements of a 30.5 cm square rough plate with forced air velocities between 0.1 m/s and 2.5 m/s were made by the present apparatus in two inclined and all five orthogonal orientations. The present work's formulas are compared with 104 measurements in twelve data-sets. The twelve data-sets have root-mean-square relative error (RMSRE) values between 1.3% and 4% relative to the present theory.
 The present work's formulas are also compared with 78 measurements in 28 data-sets on five vertical rough surfaces in horizontal flow from Rowley, Algren, and Blackshaw (1930). The five stucco data-sets have RMSRE values between 2.5% and 6.5%; the other data-sets have RMSRE values between 0.2% and 5%.

description: We investigate stationary states of the linear damped stochastic oscillator driven by Lévy noises. In the long time limit kinetic and potential energies of the oscillator do not fulfill the equipartition theorem and their distributions follow the power-law asymptotics. At the same time, partition of the mechanical energy is controlled by the damping coefficient. We show that in the limit of vanishing damping a stochastic analogue of the equipartition theorem can be proposed, namely the statistical properties of potential and kinetic energies attain distributions characterized by the same width. Finally, we demonstrate that the ratio of instantaneous kinetic and potential energies which signifies departure from the mechanical energy equipartition, follows universal power-law asymptotics.

description: In this paper, we report a new type of instability of electron holes (EHs) interacting with passing ions. The nonlinear interaction of EHs and ions is investigated using a new theory of hole kinematics. It is shown that the oscillation in the velocity of the EH parallel to the magnetic field direction becomes unstable when the hole velocity in the ion frame is slower than a few times the cold ion sound speed. This instability leads to the emission of ion-acoustic waves from the solitary hole and decay in its magnitude. The instability mechanism can drive significant perturbations in the ion density. The instability threshold, oscillation frequency and instability growth rate derived from the theory yield quantitative agreement with the observations from a novel high-fidelity hole-tracking Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code.

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: The consistency relations in large scale structure relate the lower-order correlation functions with their higher-order counterparts. They are direct outcome of the underlying symmetries of a dynamical system and can be tested using data from future surveys such as Euclid. Using techniques from standard perturbation theory (SPT), previous studies of consistency relation have concentrated on continuity-momentum (Euler)-Poisson system of an ideal fluid. We investigate the consistency relations in effective field theory (EFT) which adjusts the SPT predictions to account for the departure from the ideal fluid description on small scales. We provide detailed results for the 3D density contrast $δ$ as well as the {\em scaled} divergence of velocity $\barθ$. Assuming a $Λ$CDM background cosmology, we find the correction to SPT results becomes important at $k \gtrsim 0.05 \rm h/Mpc$ and that the suppression from EFT to SPT results that scales as square of the wave number $k$, can reach $40\%$ of the total at $k \approx 0.25\rm h/Mpc$ at $z=0$. We have also investigated whether effective field theory corrections to models of primordial non-Gaussianity can alter the squeezed limit behaviour, finding the results to be rather insensitive to these counterterms. In addition, we present the EFT corrections to the squeezed limit of the bispectrum in redshift space which may be of interest for tests of theories of modified gravity.

description: Originating from a broken spatial inversion symmetry, ferroelectricity is a functionality of materials with an electric dipole that can be switched by external electric fields. Spontaneous polarization is a crucial ferroelectric property, and its amplitude is determined by the strength of polar structural distortions. Density functional theory (DFT) is one of the most widely used theoretical methods to study ferroelectric properties, yet it is limited by the levels of approximations in electron exchange-correlation. On the one hand, the local density approximation (LDA) is considered to be more accurate for the conventional perovskite ferroelectrics such as BaTiO3 and PbTiO3 than the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), which suffers from the so-called super-tetragonality error. On the other hand, GGA is more suitable for hydrogen-bonded ferroelectrics than LDA, which largely overestimates the strength of hydrogen bonding in general. We show here that the recently developed general-purpose strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) meta-GGA functional significantly improves over the traditional LDA/GGA for structural, electric, and energetic properties of diversely-bonded ferroelectric materials with a comparable computational effort, and thus enhances largely the predictive power of DFT in studies of ferroelectric materials. We also address the observed system-dependent performances of LDA and GGA for ferroelectrics from a chemical bonding point of view.

description: This policy brief draws on REGROUP’s research outputs on the EU’s and member states’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic and puts forward a set of policy recommendations for EU policymakers on how to handle future crises. To do so, the paper identifies three main lines of investigation on which REGROUP’s work is being conducted – a) EU governance and policies, b) democracy and legitimacy in the EU and c) EU actorness on the global stage. For each of these lines of investigation, the paper discusses contributions from the REGROUP consortium in the form of research papers, external publications and current projects. Finally, based on research findings for each of these dimensions, the policy brief concludes by setting out policy recommendations about possible changes to help the EU to navigate emergency politics in the future.

description: An important editing policy in Wikipedia is to provide citations for added statements in Wikipedia pages, where statements can be arbitrary pieces of text, ranging from a sentence to a paragraph. In many cases citations are either outdated or missing altogether. In this work we address the problem of finding and updating news citations for statements in entity pages. We propose a two-stage supervised approach for this problem. In the first step, we construct a classifier to find out whether statements need a news citation or other kinds of citations (web, book, journal, etc.). In the second step, we develop a news citation algorithm for Wikipedia statements, which recommends appropriate citations from a given news collection. Apart from IR techniques that use the statement to query the news collection, we also formalize three properties of an appropriate citation, namely: (i) the citation should entail the Wikipedia statement, (ii) the statement should be central to the citation, and (iii) the citation should be from an authoritative source. We perform an extensive evaluation of both steps, using 20 million articles from a real-world news collection. Our results are quite promising, and show that we can perform this task with high precision and at scale.

description: We consider complex dynamical systems showing metastable behavior but no local separation of fast and slow time scales. The article raises the question of whether such systems exhibit a low-dimensional manifold supporting its effective dynamics. For answering this question, we aim at finding nonlinear coordinates, called reaction coordinates, such that the projection of the dynamics onto these coordinates preserves the dominant time scales of the dynamics. We show that, based on a specific reducibility property, the existence of good low-dimensional reaction coordinates preserving the dominant time scales is guaranteed. Based on this theoretical framework, we develop and test a novel numerical approach for computing good reaction coordinates. The proposed algorithmic approach is fully local and thus not prone to the curse of dimension with respect to the state space of the dynamics. Hence, it is a promising method for data-based model reduction of complex dynamical systems such as molecular dynamics.

description: The transition mechanism of jump processes between two different subsets in state space reveals important dynamical information of the processes and therefore has attracted considerable attention in the past years. In this paper, we study the first passage path ensemble of both discrete-time and continuous-time jump processes on a finite state space. The main approach is to divide each first passage path into nonreactive and reactive segments and to study them separately. The analysis can be applied to jump processes which are non-ergodic, as well as continuous-time jump processes where the waiting time distributions are non-exponential. In the particular case that the jump processes are both Markovian and ergodic, our analysis elucidates the relations between the study of the first passage paths and the study of the transition paths in transition path theory. We provide algorithms to numerically compute statistics of the first passage path ensemble. The computational complexity of these algorithms scales with the complexity of solving a linear system, for which efficient methods are available. Several examples demonstrate the wide applicability of the derived results across research areas.

description: It is expected that in the interior of compact stars a proton superconductor coexists with and couples to a neutron superfluid. Starting from a field-theoretical model for two complex scalar fields - one of which is electrically charged - we derive a Ginzburg-Landau potential which includes entrainment between the two fluids and temperature effects from thermal excitations of the two scalar fields and the gauge field. The Ginzburg-Landau description is then used for an analysis of the phase structure in the presence of an external magnetic field. In particular, we study the effect of the superfluid on the flux tube phase by computing the various critical magnetic fields and deriving an approximation for the flux tube interaction. As a result, we point out differences to the naive expectations from an isolated superconductor, for instance the existence of a first-order flux tube onset, resulting in a more complicated phase structure in the region between type-I and type-II superconductivity.

description: Die Geschichte des Templerordens ist sehr interessant. Der Ursprung des Ordens liegt im Heiligen Land, im Zentrum der Kriege zwischen christlichen und islamischen Kräften, die nach dem ersten Kreuzzug von 1096 ausbrachen. Damals wurden die Straßen ins Heilige Land von Pilgern aus ganz Europa befahren, die oft überfallen und geplündert wurden. Um die heiligen Stätten und die Pilger zu verteidigen, gründeten sich mehrere religiöse Orden. Um 1119 beschloss eine Gruppe von Rittern (unter der Leitung von Hugues de Payens), den ursprünglichen Kern des Templerordens zu gründen und machte es sich zur Aufgabe, die Sicherheit der zahlreichen europäischen Pilger zu gewährleisten, die weiterhin nach Jerusalem reisten. Diese erste Zusammensetzung wurde von dem König von Jerusalem, Balduin den II, unterstützt. Der Orden wurde 1129, während des Konzils von Troyes, offiziell gegründet und übernahm mit Unterstützung von Bernhard von Clairvaux eine monastische Regel. Ein Kennzeichen des Ordens stellte die Doppelrolle der Mönche sowie der Kämpfer dar.

description: Charge-neutral 180$^\circ$ domain walls that separate domains of antiparallel polarization directions are common structural topological defects in ferroelectrics. In normal ferroelectrics, charged 180$^\circ$ domain walls running perpendicular to the polarization directions are highly energetically unfavorable because of the depolarization field and are difficult to stabilize. We explore both neutral and charged 180$^\circ$ domain walls in hyperferroelectrics, a class of proper ferroelectrics with persistent polarization in the presence of a depolarization field, using density functional theory. We obtain zero temperature equilibrium structures of head-to-head and tail-to-tail walls in recently discovered $ABC$-type hexagonal hyperferroelectrics. Charged domain walls can also be stabilized in canonical ferroelectrics represented by LiNbO$_3$ without any dopants, defects or mechanical clamping. First-principles electronic structure calculations show that charged domain walls can reduce and even close the band gap of host materials and support quasi-two-dimensional electron(hole) gas with enhanced electrical conductivity.

We determine the Fermi surface of this material and its band dispersion over 5 eV of binding energy. Very moderate band renormalization (1.35) is observed for only two bands. We attribute this small renormalization to enhanced direct exchange as compared to Fe in BaFe$_2$As$_2$, and to a larger contribution of the $e_g$ orbitals in the composition of the bands forming the Fermi surface, leading to an effective valence count that is reduced by Fe $d$ - As $p$ hybridization.

description: The dynamic nature of language, particularly evident in the realm of slang and memes on the Internet, poses serious challenges to the adaptability of large language models (LLMs). Traditionally anchored to static datasets, these models often struggle to keep up with the rapid linguistic evolution characteristic of online communities. This research aims to bridge this gap by enhancing LLMs' comprehension of the evolving new concepts on the Internet, without the high cost of continual retraining. In pursuit of this goal, we introduce $\textbf{SLANG}$, a benchmark designed to autonomously integrate novel data and assess LLMs' ability to comprehend emerging concepts, alongside $\textbf{FOCUS}$, an approach uses causal inference to enhance LLMs to understand new phrases and their colloquial context. Our benchmark and approach involves understanding real-world instances of linguistic shifts, serving as contextual beacons, to form more precise and contextually relevant connections between newly emerging expressions and their meanings. The empirical analysis shows that our causal inference-based approach outperforms the baseline methods in terms of precision and relevance in the comprehension of Internet slang and memes.

description: Automated Facial Expression Recognition (FER) has been a challenging task for decades. Many of the existing works use hand-crafted features such as LBP, HOG, LPQ, and Histogram of Optical Flow (HOF) combined with classifiers such as Support Vector Machines for expression recognition. These methods often require rigorous hyperparameter tuning to achieve good results. Recently Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have shown to outperform traditional methods in visual object recognition. In this paper, we propose a two-part network consisting of a DNN-based architecture followed by a Conditional Random Field (CRF) module for facial expression recognition in videos. The first part captures the spatial relation within facial images using convolutional layers followed by three Inception-ResNet modules and two fully-connected layers. To capture the temporal relation between the image frames, we use linear chain CRF in the second part of our network. We evaluate our proposed network on three publicly available databases, viz. CK+, MMI, and FERA. Experiments are performed in subject-independent and cross-database manners. Our experimental results show that cascading the deep network architecture with the CRF module considerably increases the recognition of facial expressions in videos and in particular it outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in the cross-database experiments and yields comparable results in the subject-independent experiments.

description: The starting point in this note is $f(R)$ modified gravity in a cosmological setting. We assume a spatially flat Universe to describe late-time cosmology and the perfect-fluid equation of state $p=ωρ$ to model the hypothesized dark energy. Given that on a cosmological scale, $f(R)$ modified gravity must remain close to Einstein gravity to be consistent with observation, it was concluded that either (1) Einstein's cosmological constant is the only acceptable model for the accelerated expansion or (2) that the equation of state for dark energy is far more complicated than the perfect-fluid model and may even exclude a constant $ω$.

description: The hidden Markov model (HMM) has been a workhorse of single molecule data analysis and is now commonly used as a standalone tool in time series analysis or in conjunction with other analyses methods such as tracking. Here we provide a conceptual introduction to an important generalization of the HMM which is poised to have a deep impact across Biophysics: the infinite hidden Markov model (iHMM). As a modeling tool, iHMMs can analyze sequential data without a priori setting a specific number of states as required for the traditional (finite) HMM. While the current literature on the iHMM is primarily intended for audiences in Statistics, the idea is powerful and the iHMM's breadth in applicability outside Machine Learning and Data Science warrants a careful exposition. Here we explain the key ideas underlying the iHMM with a special emphasis on implementation and provide a description of a code we are making freely available. In a companion article, we provide an important extension of the iHMM to accommodate complications such as drift.

description: Bereits im Zuge des Ersten Kreuzzugs wurde bei der Eroberung Jerusalems im Juli 1099 ein seit Mitte des 11. Jahrhunderts bestehendes Pilgerhospiz unter der Leitung des 1120 verstorbenen seligen Gerhard Sasso angetroffen. Dieses Hospital dürfte auf eine Gründung von Kaufleuten aus Amalfi zurückgehen und lässt sie sich am ehesten mit „Spitalsbruderschaft vom Heiligen Johannes zu Jerusalem“ beschreiben. Papst Paschalis II. gewährte dieser Bruderschaft schon 1113 mit der Bulle „Pie voluntatis postulatio“ weitgehende Privilegien. Unter der Führung des zweiten Großmeisters, Fra' Raymond du Puy, entwickelte sich daraus in der ersten Hälfte des 12. Jahrhunderts der Orden, der heute als Malteserorden bekannt ist und der durch die von Papst Anastasius IV. 1154 erlassene Bulle „Christianae fidei religio“ als solcher bestätigt wurde.

Johannes zu Jerusalem, genannt von Rhodos, genannt von Malta“ – auch kurz als „Souveräner Malteser-Ritter-Orden“ oder schlicht als „Malteserorden“ bezeichnet – ist vielleicht die außergewöhnlichste der kirchlichen Ordensgemeinschaften: Er ist zugleich ein souveränes Völkerrechtssubjekt, ein kirchlich anerkannter Ritterorden und die Professritter betreffend – wenngleich er gesamthaft eine Ordensgemeinschaft sui generis ist – ein Orden im Sinne des CIC.

description: A Hawkes process model with a time-varying background rate is developed for analyzing the high-frequency financial data. In our model, the logarithm of the background rate is modeled by a linear model with a relatively large number of variable-width basis functions, and the parameters are estimated by a Bayesian method. Our model can capture not only the slow time-variation, such as in the intraday seasonality, but also the rapid one, which follows a macroeconomic news announcement. By analyzing the tick data of the Nikkei 225 mini, we find that (i) our model is better fitted to the data than the Hawkes models with a constant background rate or a slowly varying background rate, which have been commonly used in the field of quantitative finance; (ii) the improvement in the goodness-of-fit to the data by our model is significant especially for sessions where considerable fluctuation of the background rate is present; and (iii) our model is statistically consistent with the data. The branching ratio, which quantifies the level of the endogeneity of markets, estimated by our model is 0.41, suggesting the relative importance of exogenous factors in the market dynamics. We also demonstrate that it is critically important to appropriately model the time-dependent background rate for the branching ratio estimation.

description: While joining tolerances, and therefore forces, are known in the assembly process, the determination of disassembly forces is not possible. This is caused by changes in the product properties during the product operation, which has multiple reasons such as thermal or mechanical stress on the product. Regarding the planning of disassembly tasks, disassembly times and tools cannot be planned properly. They have to be determined in the process or stay undefined, which can result in damaging of the product. This article shows an approach to describe the necessary disassembly forces without having to investigate the complex physical influences caused by the usage of the product. To do so, a Learning Method is developed, which is sustained by a Lookup-Table for the estimation of disassembly forces based on basic input data such as hours of operation and operating characteristics. Missing values will be interpolated by using multiple linear regression. The concept will be illustrated in the example of a turbine blade connection.

description: Fine-grained vehicle recognition (FGVR) is an essential fundamental technology for intelligent transportation systems, but very difficult because of its inherent intra-class variation. Most previous FGVR studies only focus on the intra-class variation caused by different shooting angles, positions, etc., while the intra-class variation caused by image noise has received little attention. This paper proposes a progressive multi-task anti-noise learning (PMAL) framework and a progressive multi-task distilling (PMD) framework to solve the intra-class variation problem in FGVR due to image noise. The PMAL framework achieves high recognition accuracy by treating image denoising as an additional task in image recognition and progressively forcing a model to learn noise invariance. The PMD framework transfers the knowledge of the PMAL-trained model into the original backbone network, which produces a model with about the same recognition accuracy as the PMAL-trained model, but without any additional overheads over the original backbone network. Combining the two frameworks, we obtain models that significantly exceed previous state-of-the-art methods in recognition accuracy on two widely-used, standard FGVR datasets, namely Stanford Cars, and CompCars, as well as three additional surveillance image-based vehicle-type classification datasets, namely Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT)-Vehicle, Vehicle Type Image Data 2 (VTID2), and Vehicle Images Dataset for Make Model Recognition (VIDMMR), without any additional overheads over the original backbone networks.

description: Micro- and nano-electromechanical resonators are a fundamental building block of modern technology, used in environmental monitoring, robotics, medical tools as well as fundamental science. These devices rely on dedicated electronics to generate their driving signal, resulting in an increased complexity and size. Here, we present a new paradigm to achieve high-frequency mechanical actuation based on the metal-insulator transition of VO$\mathrm{_2}$, where the steep variation of its electronic properties enables to realize high-frequency electrical oscillations. The dual nature of this phase change, which is both electronic and structural, turns the electrical oscillations into an intrinsic actuation mechanism, powered by a small DC voltage and capable to selectively excite the different mechanical modes of a microstructure. Our results pave the way towards the realization of micro- and nano-electro-mechanical systems with autonomous actuation from integrated DC power sources such as solar cells or micro-batteries.

description: The study of quantum evolution on graphs for diversified topologies is beneficial to modeling various realistic systems. A systematic method, the dimerized decomposition, is proposed to analyze the dynamics on an arbitrary network. By introducing global "flows" among interlinked dimerized subsystems, each of which locally consists of an input and a output port, the method provides an intuitive picture that the local properties of the subsystem are separated from the global structure of the network. The pictorial interpretation of quantum evolution as multiple flows through the graph allows for the analysis of the complex network dynamics supplementary to the conventional spectral method.

description: We present a new method for torque magnetometry by using a commercially available membrane-type surface-stress sensor (MSS). This sensor has a silicon membrane supported by four beams in which piezoresistive paths are integrated. Although originally developed as a gas sensor, it can be used for torque measurement by modifying its on-chip wiring. We demonstrate the magnetic-torque measurement of submillimeter-sized crystals at a low temperature and in strong magnetic fields. This MSS can observe de-Haas-van-Alphen oscillation, which confirms that it can be an alternative tool for self-sensitive microcantilevers.

description: To date, no previous research assessed the bibliometrics of men’s sexual and reproductive healthcare (SRHC) across Arab countries. This study appraised the current standing of men’s SRHC research in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. We performed a bibliometric analysis to assess qualitatively and quantitatively the peer-reviewed articles published from Arab countries from inception to 2022. In addition, we conducted a visualization analysis, and assessed outputs, trends, shortcomings and hotspots over the given time period. There was a generally low numbers of publications, 98 studies were identified, all with cross-sectional design, and two thirds explored prevention and control of HIV/other STDs. Studies were published in 71 journals, of which the Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, Journal of Egyptian Public Health Association, AIDS Care and BMC public health were most common. The Journal of Adolescent Health, Fertility Sterility and Journal of Cancer Survivorship were among the highest IF ranking. Publishers were commonly USA or UK-based, median journal IF was 2.09, and five articles were in journals of IF > 4. Saudi Arabia had the highest published output followed by Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, while 10 Arab countries had no publications on the topic. Corresponding authors expertise fields were most commonly public health, infectious diseases and family medicine). Collaborations in-between MENA countries were notably low. There is general paucity of published outputs on SRHC. More research across MENA is needed, with more inter-MENA collaborations, and with inclusion of countries that currently have no outputs on SRHC. In order to accomplish such goals, R&D funding and capacity building are required. Research and published outputs should address SRHC burdens.
