description: The invariant spectra of pi- mesons produced in (pi+/K+)p interactions at 250 GeV/c are analysed in the framework of the hydrodynamical model of three-dimensionally expanding cylindrically symmetric finite systems. A satisfactory description of experimental data is achieved. The data favour the pattern according to which the hadron matter undergoes predominantly longitudinal expansion and non-relativistic transverse expansion with mean transverse velocity = 0.20(7), and is characterized by a large temperature inhomogeneity in the transverse direction: the extracted freeze-out temperature at the center of the tube and at the transverse rms radius are 140(3) MeV and 82(7) MeV, respectively. The width of the (longitudinal) space-time rapidity distribution of the pion source is found to be Delta eta = 1.36(2). Combining this estimate with results of the Bose-Einstein correlation analysis in the same experiment, one extracts a mean freeze-out time of the source of = 1.4(1) fm/c and its transverse geometrical rms radius, R_G (rms)=1.2(2) fm.

description: A new asynchronous early output block carry lookahead adder (BCLA) incorporating redundant carries is proposed. Compared to the best of existing semi-custom asynchronous carry lookahead adders (CLAs) employing delay-insensitive data encoding and following a 4-phase handshaking, the proposed BCLA with redundant carries achieves 13% reduction in forward latency and 14.8% reduction in cycle time compared to the best of the existing CLAs featuring redundant carries with no area or power penalty. A hybrid variant involving a ripple carry adder (RCA) in the least significant stages i.e. BCLA-RCA is also considered that achieves a further 4% reduction in the forward latency and a 2.4% reduction in the cycle time compared to the proposed BCLA featuring redundant carries without area or power penalties.

description: Using collinear factorization, we have calculated twist-six corrections to $ηγ$ and $η^{\prime}γ$ transition form factors in QCD. Only a sub-set of light-cone operators of twist-six which can be factorized as a product of two gauge invariant operators has been considered. Resulting power corrections start as $1/Q^{4}$ but coefficients are smaller compared to their counterparts for twist-four operators. Matrix element of pseudoscalar quark densities for $u$- and $d$-quarks between vacuum and meson state, $h_{q}$, has considerable influence on the result. Results obtained by superimposing our results on those obtained in literature for leading and sub-leading power corrections for lower twists have been plotted and compared with data.

description: We present an accurate numerical determination of the crossover from classical to Ising-like critical behavior upon approach of the critical point in three-dimensional systems. The possibility to vary the Ginzburg number in our simulations allows us to cover the entire crossover region. We employ these results to scrutinize several semi-phenomenological crossover scaling functions that are widely used for the analysis of experimental results. In addition we present strong evidence that the exponent relations do not hold between effective exponents.

description: Aspartyl proteases are a widely represented class of proteolytic enzymes found in eukaryotes and retroviruses. They have been associated with pathogenicity in a range of disease causing microorganisms. The dimorphic human-pathogenic fungus Talaromyces marneffei has a large expansion of these proteases identified through genomic analyses. Here we characterise the expansion of these genes (pop - paralogue of pep) and their role in T. marneffei using computational and molecular approaches. Many of the genes in this monophyletic family show copy number variation and positive selection despite the preservation of functional regions and possible redundancy. We show that the expression profile of these genes differs and some are expressed during intracellular growth in the host. Several of these proteins have distinctive localisation as well as both additive and epistatic effects on the formation of yeast cells during macrophage infections. The data suggest that this is a recently evolved aspartyl protease gene family which affects intracellular growth and contributes to pathogenicity of T. marneffei.

description: Andreev-reflection and tunneling studies have been carried out on a single crystal of underdoped Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-d (NCCO) by using Ag, Pt-Ir and Nb tips to clarify the symmetry of its order parameter. Surprisingly, we observed in the NCCO, on the one hand, the Josephson current (with Nb tip) which indicates the presence of s-wave order parameter, on the other hand, a zero-bias conductance peak (with Ag tip) which is a manifestation of d-wave order parameter. In addition, we find the presence of two distinct energy scales in the underdoped NCCO: the smallest energy scale is associated with the Andreev gap and c-axis tunneling gap, and the second scale corresponds to the maximum in-plane tunneling gap. It seems that the phenomenon of superconductivity in electron- and hole-doped cuprates can be understood within a common scheme.

Variational study of the Holstein polaron

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The paper deals with the ground and the first excited state of the polaron in the one dimensional Holstein model. Various variational methods are used to investigate both the weak coupling and strong coupling case, as well as the crossover regime between them. Two of the methods, which are presented here for the first time, introduce interesting elements to the understanding of the nature of the polaron. Reliable numerical evidence is found that, in the strong coupling regime, the ground and the first excited state of the self-trapped polaron are well described within the adiabatic limit. The lattice vibration modes associated with the self-trapped polarons are analyzed in detail, and the frequency softening of the vibration mode at the central site of the small polaron is estimated. It is shown that the first excited state of the system in the strong coupling regime corresponds to the excitation of the soft phonon mode within the polaron. In the crossover regime, the ground and the first excited state of the system can be approximated by the anticrossing of the self-trapped and the delocalized polaron state. In this way, the connection between the behavior of the ground and the first excited state is qualitatively explained.

Majority and Minority Voted Redundancy for Safety-Critical Applications

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Hardware Architecture (cs.AR)

description: A new majority and minority voted redundancy (MMR) scheme is proposed that can provide the same degree of fault tolerance as N-modular redundancy (NMR) but with fewer function units and a less sophisticated voting logic. Example NMR and MMR circuits were implemented using a 32/28nm CMOS process and compared. The results show that MMR circuits dissipate less power, occupy less area, and encounter less critical path delay than the corresponding NMR circuits while providing the same degree of fault tolerance. Hence the MMR is a promising alternative to the NMR to efficiently implement high levels of redundancy in safety-critical applications.

Creators: name: Laland, Kevin N.
name: Rose, Steven
Publisher: name: The Royal Society
Year: 2019
Subjects: Structural Biology

description: Patrick Bateson made outstanding contributions to the study of animal behaviour over a 50-year period, a field in which he was regarded as a world leader. His research involved analyses of the development, causal mechanisms, function and evolution of behaviour, and combined work in the experimental laboratory with observations of the natural behaviour of animals and theoretical analyses. With particular expertise on behavioural development, Bateson made seminal contributions to several topics, including filial imprinting, mate choice, developmental plasticity, the roles of behaviour and development in evolution, animal welfare and animal play. His research on imprinting in birds pioneered new methods, set new standards for behavioural research and shed new light on the interplay of internal and external factors during behavioural development. Recognizing that a complete understanding of behaviour requires investigation at a number of levels, Bateson's interactionist perspective led him to be highly critical of reductionism and of simple-minded use of terms such as ‘instinct’ and ‘innate’. Bateson published several influential books and well over 300 scientific articles, including a substantial number in flagship journals such as Nature and Science. His contribution to science was recognized with many honours, including a knighthood, the Frink medal of the Zoological Society of London and the Distinguished Animal Behaviorist Career Award of the Animal Behavior Society. Bateson was also provost of Kings College Cambridge, president of the Zoological Society of London and biological secretary and vice-president of the Royal Society. A leading public intellectual in the early part of the twenty-first century, Bateson brought leadership and balanced judgement to many difficult issues, including the use of animals in medical research, dog breeding and hunting.
``Linearized'' Dynamical Mean-Field Theory for the Mott-Hubbard transition

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition is studied within a simplified version of the Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT) in which the coupling between the impurity level and the conduction band is approximated by a single pole at the Fermi energy. In this approach, the DMFT equations are linearized, and the value for the critical Coulomb repulsion U_{\rm c} can be calculated analytically. For the symmetric single-band Hubbard model at zero temperature, the critical value is found to be given by 6 times the square root of the second moment of the free (U=0) density of states. This result is in good agreement with the numerical value obtained from the Projective Selfconsistent Method and recent Numerical Renormalization Group calculations for the Bethe and the hypercubic lattice in infinite dimensions. The generalization to more complicated lattices is discussed. The ``linearized DMFT'' yields plausible results for the complete geometry dependence of the critical interaction.

On Max Weber and Ethnicity in Times of Intellectual Decolonization
Creators: name: Winter, Elke
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2021

description: The past few years have seen a rise in attempts to decolonize curricula, pedagogies, classrooms and knowledge production. In this paper, I provided a six-step argument for reading and teaching Weber – among other scholarly writings – in times of intellectual decolonization. I argue that (1) Weber’s calls for scientific rigour and the prevalence of social causality over biological, culturalist or other essentialist interpretations, as well as (2) his uncovering of racist ideology embedded in social institutions are more relevant than ever. I then follow Weber in (3) theorizing the emergence of ethnic feelings of communalization as the outcome of unequal power relations tied to migration, conquest, and colonization. (4) This relationship of domination/subordination is conducive to a differential sense of self and dignity with members of majority and minority populations. (5) Based on Weber’s epistemology, these diverse “standpoints” need to be included into the curriculum as they contribute valuable pieces to the overarching puzzle of human knowledge. (6) Weber’s call for a strict separation of science and politics, however, prohibits political activism and “professorial prophecy” in the lecture hall or classroom. For Weber, the professor should not teach students what they should do, only what they may want to do.

description: We recently demonstrated that the superconductor-to-insulator transition induced by ionic liquid gating of the high temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) is accompanied by a deoxygenation of the sample [Perez-Munoz et al., PNAS 114, 215 (2017)]. DFT calculations helped establish that the pronounced changes in the spectral features of the Cu K-edge absorption spectra measured in situ during the gating experiment arise from a decrease of the Cu coordination within the CuO chains. In this work, we provide a detailed analysis of the electronic structure origin of the changes in the spectra resulting from three different types of doping: i) the formation of oxygen vacancies within the CuO chains, ii) the formation of oxygen vacancies within the CuO2 planes and iii) the electrostatic doping. For each case, three stoichiometries are studied and compared to the stoichiometric YBa2Cu3O7, i.e YBa2Cu3O6.75, YBa2Cu3O6.50 and YBa2Cu3O6.25. Computed vacancy formation energies further support the chain-vacancy mechanism. In the case of doping by vacancies within the chains, we study the effect of oxygen ordering on the spectral features and we clarify the connection between the polarization of the x-rays and this doping mechanism. Finally, the inclusion of the Hubbard U correction on the computed spectra for antiferromagnetic YBa2Cu3O6.25 is discussed.

We investigate the effect of activation barriers hindering attachment of material to existing islands on the density and size distribution of islands in a model of homoepitaxial growth on Si(111)7x7 reconstructed surface. An unusual distribution of island sizes peaked around "magic" sizes and a steep dependence of the island density on the growth rate are observed. "Magic" islands (of a different shape as compared to those obtained during growth) are observed also during surface equilibration.

description: The urban transition, the increased ratio of urban to rural population globally and within countries, is a hallmark of the 21st century. Our analysis of publicly available data from the World Bank spanning several decades for ~195 countries show that across and within nations over time, per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP), energy use, and CO2 emissions are lowest in predominantly rural countries (rural > urban pop.), increase rapidly across urbanizing countries (rural urban pop.) and are highest in the most urban countries (rural < urban pop.). These trends coincide with changes in employment by sector and gender. Rural economies are based largely on employment in the resource-extraction sector, which includes agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and mining. In urbanizing nations, male employment is predominantly in the industrial sector, including public utilities, while female employment is higher in service-based than resource-based economies. In the most urban nations, service economies predominate with some countries employing 90% of women and 65% of men in the service sector. Our analysis shows that per capita GDP, energy use, and CO2 emissions increase by over two orders of magnitude from low-income, resource-based rural countries to high-income, urbanized countries with predominantly service economies. Data from the U.S. over the past 200 years illuminate a socio-metabolic urban transition similar to that seen globally in recent decades across countries and through time. Our study suggests that increased energy demand and climate consequences of burning fossil fuels will continue to accompany a rapidly urbanizing planet posing major challenges for global sustainability.

Tra pragma della violenza e redenzione del mondo. Forme di violenza rivoluzionaria in Max Weber
Creators: name: Emmenegger, Camilla
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2021

description: Weber refers to violence as the specific means of politics: as such it plays an important role in the state-building process. However it is possible to find in Weber’s work some references to other forms of violence, i.e. forms of revolutionary violence. They emerge at the points of contact and conflict between ethics and politics. In particular, they arise when the “pragma of violence” is no longer recognized as a permanent worldly quality and when the strive for world’s redemption proper to religious ethics finds in violence its form of expression. The aim of this paper is to identify four forms of revolutionary violence – anomic, ascetic, testimonial and ultimate ends violence – and, by outlining their specific features, to enrich the weberian framework on violence, thereby showing the variety of subjective pathways that are at the origin of a violent act.

description: Empirische Studien zeigen, dass Pflegefachkräfte häufig nicht in der Lage sind, all diejenigen Pflegetätigkeiten auszuführen, die von ihnen als notwendig erachtet werden. Das Phänomen der unvollständig ausgeführten Pflegetätigkeiten stellt eine Folge der Ressourcenknappheit in der Patientenversorgung und Form der Rationierung von Pflegeleistungen dar. Obwohl die Pflegefachkräfte nicht für den Ressourcenmangel selbst verantwortlich gemacht werden können, ist dennoch ein ethisch reflektierter Umgang mit Priorisierungs- und Rationierungsentscheidungen, ebenso wie mit Effizienzerwägungen in der pflegerischen Versorgung von Patient*innen zu fordern. Das Phänomen der unvollständig ausgeführten Pflegeleistungen ist nicht nur in einem pflegewissenschaftlichen und gesundheitsökonomischen Kontext zu thematisieren, sondern gleichermaßen in einen ethischen Interpretationsrahmen zu stellen. In einem derartigen Rahmen lassen sich auch Reichweite und Grenzen der individuellen Verantwortung von Pflegefachkräften unter Knappheitsbedingungen in Grundzügen bestimmen.

description: We have observed a signal for the decay D*+ -> D+ gamma at a significance of 4 standard deviations. From the measured branching ratio B(D*+ -> D+ gamma)/B(D*+ -> D+ pi0)=0.055 +- 0.014 +- 0.010 we find B(D*+ -> D+ gamma)= 0.017 +- 0.004 +- 0.003, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. We also report the highest precision measurements of the remaining D*+ branching fractions.

description: We introduce and investigate the stochastic dynamics of the density of local extrema (minima and maxima) of non-equilibrium surface fluctuations. We give a number of exact, analytic results for interface fluctuations described by linear Langevin equations, and for on-lattice, solid-on-solid surface growth models. We show that in spite of the non-universal character of the quantities studied, their behavior against the variation of the microscopic length scales can present generic features, characteristic to the macroscopic observables of the system. The quantities investigated here present us with tools that give an entirely un-orthodox approach to the dynamics of surface morphologies: a statistical analysis from the short wavelength end of the Fourier decomposition spectrum. In addition to surface growth applications, our results can be used to solve the asymptotic scalability problem of massively parallel algorithms for discrete event simulations, which are extensively used in Monte-Carlo type simulations on parallel architectures.

description: One of the most promising gravitational wave (GW) sources detectable by the forthcoming LISA observatory are the so-called extreme-mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs), i.e. GW-driven inspirals of stellar-mass compact objects onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). In this paper, we suggest that supernova (SN) kicks may trigger EMRIs in galactic nuclei by scattering newborn stellar black holes and neutron stars on extremely eccentric orbits; as a consequence, the time-scale over which these compact objects are expected to inspiral onto the central SMBH via GW emission may become shorter than the time-scale for other orbital perturbations to occur. By applying this argument to the Galactic Centre, we show that the S-cluster and the clockwise disc are optimal regions for the generation of such events: one SN out of about 10 000 (100 000) occurring in the S-cluster (clockwise disc) is expected to induce an EMRI. If we assume that the natal kicks affecting stellar black holes are significantly slower than those experienced by neutron stars, we find that most SN-driven EMRIs involve neutron stars. We further estimate the time spanning from the SN to the final plunge onto the SMBH to be of the order of few Myr. Finally, we extrapolate the rate of SN-driven EMRIs per Milky Way to be up to 10^-8/yr, thus we expect that LISA will detect up to a few tens of SN-driven EMRIs every year.

Improved high-temperature expansion and critical equation of state of three-dimensional Ising-like systems

description: High-temperature series are computed for a generalized $3d$ Ising model with arbitrary potential. Two specific ``improved'' potentials (suppressing leading scaling corrections) are selected by Monte Carlo computation. Critical exponents are extracted from high-temperature series specialized to improved potentials, achieving high accuracy; our best estimates are: $γ=1.2371(4)$, $ν=0.63002(23)$, $α=0.1099(7)$, $η=0.0364(4)$, $β=0.32648(18)$. By the same technique, the coefficients of the small-field expansion for the effective potential (Helmholtz free energy) are computed. These results are applied to the construction of parametric representations of the critical equation of state. A systematic approximation scheme, based on a global stationarity condition, is introduced (the lowest-order approximation reproduces the linear parametric model). This scheme is used for an accurate determination of universal ratios of amplitudes. A comparison with other theoretical and experimental determinations of universal quantities is presented.
description: 65 pages, 1 figure, revtex. New Monte Carlo data by Hasenbusch enabled us to improve the determination of the critical exponents and of the equation of state. The discussion of several topics was improved and the bibliography was updated
Max Weber e le peripezie della democrazia
Creators: name: Ferraresi, Furio
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2021

description: The essay analyses Max Weber’s thinking on democracy in both his theoretical and political writings. Weber examines democracy in relation to the themes of charismatic power and its transformation in an anti-authoritarian sense, as well as in relation to the theme of the minimisation of power and the problematic relationship with social democratisation and bureaucratisation. If democracy was historically born as an attempt to minimise the authoritarian power of command and to prevent the formation of a separate administration (direct democracy), it paradoxically ends up, in the so-called ‘mass democracies’, by becoming an instrument of centralisation of political command in a leader legitimised by popular recognition that assumes plebiscitary forms. A democracy, therefore, emptied of value content and reduced to a technique of shaping the democratic masses according to the head/apparatus model typical of modern bureaucratic enterprise.

description: 1. The prediction of human pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters is an important theme to select drug candidates from preclinical studies. It is essential to improve the prediction accuracy of compound half-life (t1/2) in humans. In this study, the predictability of t1/2 in humans using PXB mice®, chimeric mice with humanised liver, was assessed using 14 compounds showing long t1/2 in humans. 2. After intravenous administration of the compounds to PXB mice, the plasma concentration–time profiles were fitted using one- or two-compartment models and the human clearance (CLt) and distribution volume (Vdss) were predicted from single-species scaling. Using the obtained parameters, the t1/2 in humans was predicted. Using PXB mice, the predicted t1/2 values of 71.4% of the compounds were within two-fold of the actual values. Meanwhile, based on predictions using SCID mice, the host strain of the PXB mice, only 7.1% of tested compounds were within two-fold. 3. In conclusion, we demonstrated the novel utility of PXB mice for human PK predictions of compounds having long t1/2 in humans.

description: Students must be taught to understand the ethical issues associated with engineering and technology, which includes microethics and macroethics. This research examined the influence of cultural environment by comparing ethics-related education outcomes between educators in (1) the United States, (2) non-US Anglo, and (3) Western European countries who teach engineering students. In an increasingly globalised world where companies and projects draw from talent across countries, it is important to understand how different cultures educate future engineers about their ethical responsibilities. Survey results revealed that a majority of educators in all three groups viewed undergraduate and postgraduate education on ethics as insufficient. A higher percentage of non-US Anglo and Western European educators taught sustainability and environmental issues in their courses compared to US respondents. US educators taught codes of ethics, ethics in design, and safety more than those in Western Europe. Open-ended responses illuminated challenges and opportunities to improve ethics education.

description: The package fhi98PP allows one to generate norm-conserving pseudopotentials adapted to density-functional theory total-energy calculations for a multitude of elements throughout the periodic table, including first-row and transition metal elements. The package also facilitates a first assessment of the pseudopotentials' transferability, either in semilocal or fully separable form, by means of simple tests carried out for the free atom. Various parameterizations of the local-density approximation and the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation are implemented.
