description: Black-holes are known to span at least 9 orders of magnitude in mass: from the stellar-mass objects observed by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration, to supermassive black-holes like the one observed by the Event Horizon Telescope at the heart of M87. Regardless of the mass scale, all of these objects are expected to form binaries and eventually emit observable gravitational radiation, with more massive objects emitting at ever lower gravitational-wave frequencies. We present the tool, gwent, for modelling the sensitivities of current and future generations of gravitational wave detectors across the entire gravitational-wave spectrum of coalescing black-hole binaries. We provide methods to generate sensitivity curves for pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) using a novel realistic PTA sensitivity curve generator, space-based interferometers using adaptive models that can represent a wide range of proposed detector designs, and ground-based interferometers using realistic noise models that can reproduce current, second, and third generation designs, as well as novel variations of the essential design parameters. To model the signal from black-hole binaries at any mass scale, we use phenomenological waveforms capable of modelling the inspiral, merger, and ringdown for sources with varying mass ratios and spins. Using this adaptable framework, we produce signal-to-noise ratios for the combination of any modelled parameter, associated with either the detector or the source. By allowing variation across each detector and source parameter, we can pinpoint the most important factors to determining the optimal performance for particular instrument designs. The adaptability of our detector and signal models can easily be extended to new detector designs and other models of gravitational wave signals.

Year: 2020
Subjects: AGRICORE H2020

description: The document D6.6 "Software Quality Assurance measures for AGRICORE" aims at guiding the development that are involved in the AGRICORE architecture, which includes several modules developed by the different partners of the project. Since all modules interact with each other to build up the AGRICORE ecosystem, the development guide provides a solution to ensure that the integration of all developments is done most straightforwardly, avoiding last-minute integration problems that may affect the project schedule, as well as unify the mechanisms and solutions offered.

To do this, software quality assurance processes will be defined and established in line with the existing standards. In particular, the next list of measures has been defined:

• Development workflow: Guideline that defines how the features are developed and integrated incrementally using git as a configuration management tool.• Testing guidelines: Definition of how the tests should be implemented to assure a high software quality level, grouped by level of details and interactions with external modules. These guidelines were applied in the definition of tests included in this deliverable.• Metrics: Software metrics measurements, indicating which tools are going to be used to perform the measurement operations.• Continuous Integration (CI): Description of how Continuous Integration is applied in the AGRICORE project, allowing to integrate all the previous points in a single workflow.

description: We present a systematic study of the HNCO, C18O, 13CS, and C34S emission towards 13 selected molecular clouds in the Galactic center region. The molecular emission in these positions are used as templates of the different physical and chemical processes claimed to be dominant in the circumnuclear molecular gas of galaxies. The relative abundance of HNCO shows a variation of more than a factor of 20 amo ng the observed sources. The HNCO/13CS abundance ratio is highly contrasted (up to a factor of 30) between the shielded molecular clouds mostly affected by shocks, where HNCO is released to gas-phase from grain mantles, and those pervaded by an intense UV radiation field, where HNCO is photo-dissociated and CS production favored via ion reactions. We propose the relative HNCO to CS abundance ratio as a highly contrasted diagnostic tool to distinguish between the influence of shocks and/or the radiation field in the nuclear regions of galaxies and their relation to the evolutionary state of their nuclear star formation bursts.

POSTDIGITAL POLITICS: or, How To Be An Anti-Bourgeois Theorist
Creators: name: Hall, Gary
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: This is an extended ‘author’s cut’ of a chapter that was first published as Gary Hall ‘Postdigital Politics’, in Cornelia Sollfrank, Shuhsa Niederberger and Felix Stalder, eds, Aesthetics of the Commons (Zurich-Berlin: Diaphanes, 2021) https://www.diaphanes.net/titel/postdigital-politics-6925 --- In ‘Postdigital Politics’ I examine our contemporary postdigital political conjuncture. This conjuncture, I argue, springs from the crisis of representative democracy we are currently experiencing and involves a shift to more direct forms of democracy via postdigital communications. The latter is evident in the decentralised manner in which movements such as the Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter operate. I analyse how the traditional political opposition between ‘left’ and ‘right’ has been overlaid in many places around the world by that between populist nativism and elitist internationalism. I also discuss the way in which populist right-wing politicians (e.g., Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro) have used the possibilities created by postdigital media technologies to create a new model of political communications, one that is capable of overcoming the apparent disconnect between professional politicians and ‘the people’. By way of response, I offer some suggestions as to how those of us who position ourselves on the left of the political spectrum can resist this political takeover by the populist authoritarian right. In other words, I show how the new postdigital communications can be used for more progressive purposes that are attuned to today’s changed political landscape. Among the illustrative examples provided will be some of the grassroots, bottom-up projects for the production of free resources, technical infrastructures and the commons that myself and some of those I collaborate with have developed over the last twenty years. Those projects include, but are not limited to: the open access journal Culture Machine (http://culturemachine.net); the publishing house Open Humanities Press (www.openhumanitiespress.org); the online publishing experiments Liquid Books (http://liquidbooks.pbwiki.com/) and Living Books About Life (http://www.livingbooksaboutlife.org/); the Radical Open Access Collective (http://radicaloa.disruptivemedia.org.uk); the Mandela27 DIY Exhibition (https://www.mandela27.com); the video-book after.video (http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/after-video); COPIM (https://copim.pubpub.org/); and the Public Library: Memory of the World project (https://www.memoryoftheworld.org/blog/2015/05/27/repertorium_public_library). By way of theoretical framing, I examine the particular mode of postdigital politics that underpins these initiatives. I will also foreground a number of operative concepts that help to shape them, with a special focus on anti-bourgeois theory.

description: We model the behaviour of a network of interacting (p,q) strings from IIB string theory by considering a field theory containing multiple species of string, allowing us to study the effect of non-intercommuting events due to two different species crossing each other. This then has the potential for a string dominated Universe with the network becoming so tangled that it freezes. We give numerical evidence, explained by a one-scale model, that such freezing does not take place, with the network reaching a scaling limit where its density relative to the background increases with N, the number of string types.

Effective temperature scale and bolometric corrections from 2MASS photometry

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: This paper presents a method to determine effective temperatures, angular semi-diameters and bolometric corrections for population I and II FGK type stars based on V and 2MASS IR photometry. Accurate calibration is accomplished by using a sample of solar analogues, whose average temperature is assumed to be equal to the solar effective temperature of 5777 K. By taking into account all possible sources of error we estimate associated uncertainties better than 1% in effective temperature and in the range 1.0-2.5% in angular semi-diameter for unreddened stars. Comparison of our new temperatures with other determinations extracted from the literature indicates, in general, remarkably good agreement. These results suggest that the effective temperaure scale of FGK stars is currently established with an accuracy better than 0.5%-1%. The application of the method to a sample of 10999 dwarfs in the Hipparcos catalogue allows us to define temperature and bolometric correction (K band) calibrations as a function of (V-K), [m/H] and log g. Bolometric corrections in the V and K bands as a function of effective temperature, [m/H] and log g are also given. We provide effective temperatures, angular semi-diameters, radii and bolometric corrections in the V and K bands for the 10999 FGK stars in our sample with the corresponding uncertainties.

description: We present EnckeHH, a new, highly accurate code for orbital dynamics of perturbed Keplerian systems such as planetary systems or galactic centre systems. It solves Encke's equations of motion, which assume perturbed Keplerian orbits. By incorporating numerical techniques, we have made the code follow optimal roundoff error growth. In a $10^ {12}$ day integration of the outer Solar System, EnckeHH was $3.5$ orders of magnitude more accurate than IAS15 in a fixed time step test. Adaptive steps are recommended for IAS15. Through study of efficiency plots, we show that EnckeHH reaches significantly higher accuracy than the Rebound integrators IAS15 and WHCKL for fixed step size.

Lensed CMB power spectrum biases from masking extragalactic sources

description: The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is gravitationally lensed by large-scale structure, which distorts observations of the primordial anisotropies in any given direction. Averaged over the sky, this important effect is routinely modelled with the lensed CMB power spectra. This accounts for the variance of this distortion, where the leading variance effect is quadratic in the lensing deflections. However, we show that if bright extragalactic sources correlated with the large-scale structure are masked in a CMB map, the power spectrum measured over the unmasked area using a standard pseudo-$C_\ell$ estimator has an additional~\emph{linear} lensing effect arising from correlations between the masked area and the lensing. This induces a scale-dependent average demagnification of the unlensed distance between unmasked pairs of observed points and a negative contribution to the CMB correlation function peaking at $\sim 10\,\arcmin$. We give simple analytic models for point sources and a threshold mask constructed on a correlated Gaussian foreground field. We demonstrate the consistency of their predictions for masks removing radio sources and peaks of Sunyaev-Zeldovich and cosmic infrared background emissions using realistic numerical simulations. We discuss simple diagnostics that can be used to test for the effect in the absence of a good model for the masked sources and show that by constructing specific masks the effect can be observed on Planck data. For masks employed in the analysis of Planck and other current data sets, the effect is likely to be negligible, but may become an important subpercent correction for future surveys if substantial populations of resolved sources are masked.

The gender gap toward foreign policy : a cross-national study
Creators: name: Warner, Dorothy Alison
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: For several decades public opinion researchers have identified differences in women's and men's attitudes toward specific policy issues One of the most controversial gender gaps is toward foreign policy and defence issues. This investigation has two objectives. First, to examine and compare gender difference in attitudes toward foreign policy in Canada, the United States and Britain over four decades to determine if a gap actually exists and whether or not it has changed over time. Second, to examine competing explanations for the gender gap discussed by feminist International Relations scholars. These include: women's role as care giver; structural constraints such as women's traditionally lower socio-economic status; and gender consciousness expressed mainly through the impact of the feminist movement. The findings of this investigation suggest that a gender gap exists between women and men in attitudes toward force and violence, not foreign policy in general. This gap remains stable over time in both the U.S. and Canada. In Britain the gender gap increases from the 1980s to the 1990s, but this is because men's attitudes have changed. The gap is not easily explained. The presence of children in the home partially accounts for the gap in the U.S. and Britain, and gender consciousness partially accounts for the gap in Canada.

description: We present an open-source speech corpus for the Kazakh language. The Kazakh speech corpus (KSC) contains around 332 hours of transcribed audio comprising over 153,000 utterances spoken by participants from different regions and age groups, as well as both genders. It was carefully inspected by native Kazakh speakers to ensure high quality. The KSC is the largest publicly available database developed to advance various Kazakh speech and language processing applications. In this paper, we first describe the data collection and preprocessing procedures followed by a description of the database specifications. We also share our experience and challenges faced during the database construction, which might benefit other researchers planning to build a speech corpus for a low-resource language. To demonstrate the reliability of the database, we performed preliminary speech recognition experiments. The experimental results imply that the quality of audio and transcripts is promising (2.8% character error rate and 8.7% word error rate on the test set). To enable experiment reproducibility and ease the corpus usage, we also released an ESPnet recipe for our speech recognition models.

description: We calculate the electron shear viscosity (determined by Coulomb electron collisions) for a dense matter in a wide range of parameters typical for white dwarf cores and neutron star crusts. In the density range from ~10^3 g cm^-3 to 10^7-10^10 g cm^-3 we consider the matter composed of widely abundant astrophysical elements, from H to Fe. For higher densities, 10^10-10^14 g cm^-3, we employ the ground-state nuclear composition, taking into account finite sizes of atomic nuclei and the distribution of proton charge over the nucleus. Numerical values of the viscosity are approximated by an analytic expression convenient for applications. Using the approximation of plane-parallel layer we study eigenfrequencies, eigenmodes and viscous damping times of oscillations of high multipolarity, l~500-1000, localized in the outer crust of a neutron star. For instance, at l~500 oscillations have frequencies f >= 40 kHz and are localized not deeper than ~300 m from the surface. When the crust temperature decreases from 10^9 K to 10^7 K, the dissipation time of these oscillations (with a few radial nodes) decreases from ~1 year to 10-15 days.

In this work, we study transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) Moir{é} superlattices with time-reversal-symmetry and nontrivial spin{/valley}-Chern numbers. Utilizing realistic material parameters and the method of exact diagonalization, we find that at a certain twisting angle and fractional filling, gapped fractional topological states, i.e., fractional Chern insulators, are naturally {stabilized} by simply introducing the Coulomb repulsion. In contrast to fractional quantum Hall systems, where the time-reversal symmetry has to be broken explicitly, these fractional states break the time-reversal symmetry spontaneously. {We show that the Chern number contrasting in the opposite valleys imposes a strong constraint on the nature of fractional Chern insulator and the associated low energy excitations.} We also propose to realize the non-abelian Moore-Read state in TMD Moir{é} superlattice sandwiched between nonlinear dielectric media.

description: Abstract

This study delves into the application of Heinrich's Safety Pyramid within the distinct realm of chemical factories, aiming to unravel the intricate relationship between organizational factors and industrial accident prevention. Focused on the chemical industry, the research investigates the efficacy of Heinrich's theory in guiding safety measures and identifies the nuanced organizational elements influencing accident rates. Through a comprehensive analysis, encompassing surveys, incident reports, and statistical methodologies, the study aims to discern the impact of organizational culture, leadership styles, and training programs on the occurrence and prevention of industrial accidents. By examining these factors within the unique context of chemical factories, the research endeavors to provide industry-specific insights that contribute to the refinement of safety protocols. Findings from this study not only expand the empirical understanding of Heinrich's Safety Pyramid but also offer practical implications for enhancing safety measures in chemical manufacturing environments. The results are anticipated to inform policy development, safety training programs, and organizational strategies tailored to the specific challenges posed by the chemical industry, ultimately contributing to a safer and more secure workplace for all stakeholders involved.

description: The main objective of this study is to measure consumer preferences for information sources on food safety along with the factors influencing the degree of consumer preferences in Turkey. The data were obtained from a survey of 385 consumers selected randomly in Izmir, Turkey. This study involves two-stage methodology. In the first stage, fuzzy pair-wise comparison was applied to calculate a measure of preferences. Five information sources on food safety, television programmes, doctors/experts, newspapers/journal articles, radio programmes and neighbors/friends were given to the consumers. The consumers were asked to make pair-wise comparisons among the information sources. The information source hierarchies of consumers were established and ranked from most to least importance. The results show that the most important information sources of consumers are “doctors/experts” and “television programmes”. The consumer preferences from the first stage were regressed upon the consumer specific variables by using seemingly unrelated regression in the second stage. The preferences for information sources are mainly influenced by education and level of income.

This restructuring is explained in quantitative detail by a general framework of evaporative attachment: an electron is captured by the long-range polarization potential, its energy is transferred into thermal vibrations, and dissipated by evaporative cooling. The data also affirm a formulated relation between the binding energies of cationic, neutral, and anionic clusters, and an adjustment to the prior values of dimer evaporation energies.

description: In terms of the wave theory of the dynamics of two-phase media ― as an intensively developing branch of the mechanics of heterogeneous systems and thermal physics, the possibility of mathematical formalization of one class of processes in the dynamics of gas-liquid two-phase systems are considered. Based on considering the effect of interphase interaction and using the concept of wave motions, a dynamic model of a bubble sus-pension and its modifications are proposed, which are essential in the absence or presence of energy dissipa-tion in the system. The relevance of this model lies because two-phase flows are a «working fluid», in particu-lar, in power plants and devices of chemical technology. In this regard, the availability of adequate mathemat-ical models of the dynamics of two-phase gas-liquid systems, suitable for engineering calculations, should be considered as an advantage over empirical models that provide acceptable accuracy of calculations only in a limited range of technological parameters and are absolutely unsuitable for emergency and abnormal modes. The analysis of the propagation of nonlinear waves and the formation of shock waves in a gas-liquid medium based on a dynamic model of a bubble suspension shows similarity to the traditional gas-dynamic approach, but, the gas-liquid substance has certain features. First, this concerns the deviation from the behavior of an idealized homogeneous mixture as a certain continuum, the density of which is equal to the density of a liquid, the properties of compressibility are determined by similar properties of the gas. The consequence of the latter is the low design speed of sound and high nonlinearity due to the dependence on pressure, especially in the areas of its growth. It can be considered that the proposed dynamic model is sufficiently informative, allowing one to draw conclusions about the admissible mechanisms of the flow of dynamic processes in gas-liquid sys-tems and to forecast the development of these processes based on the available a priori information.

description: A simple model of opinion formation dynamics in which binary-state agents make up their opinions due to the influence of agents in a local neighborhood is studied using different network topologies. Each agent uses two different strategies, the Sznajd rule with a probability $q$ and the Galam majority rule (without inertia) otherwise; being $q$ a parameter of the system. Initially, the binary-state agents may have opinions (at random) against or in favor about a certain topic. The time evolution of the system is studied using different network topologies, starting from different initial opinion densities. A transition from consensus in one opinion to the other is found at the same percentage of initial distribution no matter which type of network is used or which opinion formation rule is used.

POSTDIGITAL POLITICS: or, How To Be An Anti-Bourgeois Theorist
Creators: name: Hall, Gary

description: This is an extended ‘author’s cut’ of a chapter that was first published as Gary Hall ‘Postdigital Politics’, in Cornelia Sollfrank, Shuhsa Niederberger and Felix Stalder, eds, Aesthetics of the Commons (Zurich-Berlin: Diaphanes, 2021) https://www.diaphanes.net/titel/postdigital-politics-6925 --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- In ‘Postdigital Politics’ I examine our contemporary postdigital political conjuncture. This conjuncture, I argue, springs from the crisis of representative democracy we are currently experiencing and involves a shift to more direct forms of democracy via postdigital communications. The latter is evident in the decentralised manner in which movements such as the Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter operate. I analyse how the traditional political opposition between ‘left’ and ‘right’ has been overlaid in many places around the world by that between populist nativism and elitist internationalism. I also discuss the way in which populist right-wing politicians (e.g., Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro) have used the possibilities created by postdigital media technologies to create a new model of political communications, one that is capable of overcoming the apparent disconnect between professional politicians and ‘the people’. By way of response, I offer some suggestions as to how those of us who position ourselves on the left of the political spectrum can resist this political takeover by the populist authoritarian right. In other words, I show how the new postdigital communications can be used for more progressive purposes that are attuned to today’s changed political landscape. Among the illustrative examples provided will be some of the grassroots, bottom-up projects for the production of free resources, technical infrastructures and the commons that myself and some of those I collaborate with have developed over the last twenty years. Those projects include, but are not limited to: the open access journal Culture Machine (http://culturemachine.net); the publishing house Open Humanities Press (www.openhumanitiespress.org); the online publishing experiments Liquid Books (http://liquidbooks.pbwiki.com/) and Living Books About Life (http://www.livingbooksaboutlife.org/); the Radical Open Access Collective (http://radicaloa.disruptivemedia.org.uk); the Mandela27 DIY Exhibition (https://www.mandela27.com); the video-book after.video (http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/after-video); COPIM (https://copim.pubpub.org/); and the Public Library: Memory of the World project (https://www.memoryoftheworld.org/blog/2015/05/27/repertorium_public_library). By way of theoretical framing, I examine the particular mode of postdigital politics that underpins these initiatives. I will also foreground a number of operative concepts that help to shape them, with a special focus on anti-bourgeois theory.

description: The objective of this study is to evaluate South Carolina (SC) consumers’ willingness to pay for “SC grown” products. Results indicate that consumers in SC are willing to pay an average premium of 27% for local produce and 23% for local animal products. Premiums for local products are influenced by age, gender, and income.
Radiative cooling induced by time-symmetry breaking in periodically-driven systems

description: We theoretically study the thermal relaxation of many-body systems under the action of oscillating external fields. When the magnitude or the orientation of a field is modulated around values where the pairwise heat-exchange conductances depend non-linearly on this field, we demonstrate that the time symmetry is broken during the evolution of temperatures over a modulation cycle. We predict that this asymmetry enables a pumping of heat which can be used to cool down faster the system. This effect is illustrated through different magneto-optical systems under the action of an oscillating magnetic field.

description: Many groups have discussed with alarm the impact of agricultural land conversion to non-agricultural uses. This research indicates little evidence that beef cow inventory has been negatively affected by land fragmentation. Average acres per transaction, total transactions, or a fragmentation index did not have an important effect on cattle inventory.

description: Contexte : Les troubles du comportement alimentaire sont une problématique actuelle qui touche une grande partie de la population aussi bien variée que distincte. Les adolescentes sont la population la plus touchée, car elles commencent à découvrir un corps en changement et cherchent à former leur propre identité. Au-delà de la souffrance vécue par les adolescentes, la famille est également dans une souffrance importante face à la situation et à la maladie de leur enfant. Objectif : Ce travail vise à identifier les besoins des familles d’adolescentes souffrant d’anorexie et/ou de boulimie, de les prendre en compte, afin d’adapter notre prise en charge infirmière auprès de ces familles. Méthode : Deux bases de données ont été consultées : CINAHL, PsycINFO. Six articles ont été retenus pour l’analyse. Les critères d’inclusion étaient : des adolescentes, l’intervention auprès des familles et une prise en charge pendant le temps de traitement. Les articles ont été analysés à l’aide de la grille de Fortin. Résultats : Les résultats ont montré plusieurs réactions et ressentis des familles. Ils ont été regroupés en trois besoins principaux à prendre en compte dans la prise en charge. Il s'agit du besoin de connaissance de la maladie, du besoin de s'exprimer quant à leur ressenti et le besoin de reconnaissance. Discussion : Inclure ou exclure une famille dans la prise en charge nécessite de prendre en compte leurs sentiments d'incertitude. L'infirmière est davantage proche pour évaluer ces ressentis, détecter leurs besoins et trouver des stratégies pour favoriser l'accompagnement et les chances de rétablissement de l'adolescente.

description: We discuss features of the brane cosmological evolution that arise through the presence of matter in the bulk. As these deviations from the conventional evolution are not associated with some observable matter component on the brane, we characterize them as mirage effects. We review an example of expansion that can be attributed to mirage non-relativistic matter (mirage cold dark matter) on the brane. The real source of the evolution is an anisotropic bulk fluid with negative pressure along the extra dimension. We also study the general problem of exchange of real non-relativistic matter between the brane and the bulk, and discuss the related mirage effects. Finally, we derive the brane cosmological evolution within a bulk that contains a global monopole (hedgehog) configuration. This background induces a mirage curvature term in the effective Friedmann equation, which can cause a brane Universe with positive spatial curvature to expand forever.
