Megafloods

description: Megafloods that far exceed previously observed records often take citizens and experts by surprise, resulting in extremely severe damage and loss of life. Existing methods based on local and regional information rarely go beyond national borders and cannot predict these floods well because of limited data on megafloods, and because flood generation processes of extremes differ from those of smaller, more frequently observed events. Here we analyse river discharge observations from over 8,000 gauging stations across Europe and show that recent megafloods could have been anticipated from those previously observed in other places in Europe. Almost all observed megafloods (95.5%) fall within the envelope values estimated from previous floods in other similar places on the continent, implying that local surprises are not surprising at the continental scale. This holds also for older events, indicating that megafloods have not changed much in time relative to their spatial variability. The underlying concept of the study is that catchments with similar flood generation processes produce similar outliers. It is thus essential to transcend national boundaries and learn from other places across the continent to avoid surprises and save lives.

description: We investigate the collective radiance characteristics of qubits in the ultrastrong coupling regime, where the radiance witness is defined based on the resonator-qubit dressed basis. The ultrastrong hyperradiance effect is demonstrated when the dressed state of system is resonantly driven. Interestingly, we show that, besides the resonator-qubit coupling strength, the parity-symmetry-breaking induced cascade-transition can significantly enhance the collective radiance of qubits, which allows us to manipulate the transitions between subradiance, superradiance, and hyperradiance via adjusting the parity symmetry of system with an external magnetic field. This work extends the collective radiance theory to the ultrastrong coupling regime, and offers the potential applications in the engineering of new laser devices.

description: Chronic boredom is associated with many negative psychological outcomes, including undermining perceived meaning in life. Meanwhile, emerging research suggests that spontaneous self-afrmation, that is, an inclination to self-afrm, is linked to greater well-being and bufers against psychological threats. We investigated the relationship between spontaneous self-afrmation, perceptions of meaning in life, and boredom proneness with four correlational studies. Study 1a (N=166) demonstrated that people inclined to self-afrm experience greater perceptions of meaning in life. Study 1b (N =170) confrmed that spontaneous self-afrmation is associated with lower levels of boredom proneness. Study 2a (N=214) and Study 2b (N=105) provided evidence for our central hypothesis, showing that spontaneous self-afrmation predicts lower levels of boredom proneness via greater perceptions of meaning in life. These fndings confrm that elevating meaning in life through psychological resources, like spontaneous self-afrmation, may limit boredom. Our work extends the emerging well-being benefts of spontaneous self-afrmation, by demonstrating associations with higher meaning in life and lower boredom proneness.

description: The effect of the presence of electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling in the SiC, GeC and SnC hybrids is studied in the framework of the ab initio perturbation theory. The electronic bang gap thermal dependence reveals a normal monotonic decrease in the SiC and GeC semiconductors, whereas SnC exhibits an anomalous behavior. The electron line widths were evaluated and the contributions of acoustic and optical phonon modes to the imaginary part of the self-energy were determined. It has been found that the e-ph scattering rates are globally controlled by the out-of-plane acoustic transverse mode ZA in SiC while both ZA and ZO are overriding in GeC. In SnC, the out-of-plane transverse optical mode ZO is the most dominant. The relaxation lifetime of the photo-excited electrons shows that the thermalization of the hot carrier occurs at 90 fs, 100 fs and 120 fs in SiC, GeC and SnC, respectively. The present study properly describes the subpicosecond time scale after sunlight illumination using an approach that requires no empirical data. The results make the investigated structures suitable for providing low cost and high-performance optical communication and monitoring applications using 2D materials.
ASSESSING HIV/AIDS AWARENESS AND CONTRACEPTIVE USE AMONG CHILDBEARING WOMEN IN BUNGOMA COUNTY, KENYA

description: Uptake of contraceptives is generally low in Kenya.The study carried an investigation into the relationship between HIV/AIDs related knowledge and contraceptive uptake among married child-bearing women aged 15-34 .Female condom (FC) is the only safe and effective femaleinitiated method that provides simultaneous protection against unintended pregnancy as well as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS. Knowledge of FC use among women and the perceptions and attitudes towards condom use can contribute to its uptake as an important public health strategy for HIV prevention in Kenya. Despite its effectiveness, the female condom use among Child –bearing women in Kenya remains low. The results of the study identify high levels of AIDS-related knowledge among women in Kimilili Sub-county, Bungoma County, Kenya. Unfortunately, this knowledge is yet to translate into practical and more so increased condom use. It suggested that the use of rationale choice models in AIDS prevention programs may not be adequate to change people’s sexual behavior, especially in societies where the prevailing cultural practices and norms encourage large families and discourage use of contraceptives of any type. In such settings, there is need to find appropriate mechanisms that could help increase the use of all types of contraceptives. As contraceptive use increases, it is likely that the use of condoms for AIDs prevention and also family planning purpose would increase in Kenya.

description: Results for a doped 3-leg t-J ladder obtained using the density matrix renormalization group are reported. At low hole doping, the holes form a dilute gas with a uniform density. The momentum occupation of the odd band shows a sharp decrease at a large value of k_F similar to the behavior of a lightly doped t-J chain, while the even modes appear gapped. The spin-spin correlations decay as a power law consistent with the absence of a spin gap, but the pair field correlations are negligible. At larger doping we find evidence for a spin gap and as x increases further we find 3-hole diagonal domain walls. In this regime there are pair field correlations and the internal pair orbital has d_x^2-y^2 - like symmetry. However, the pair field correlations appear to fall exponentially at large distances.

The experiment entails precision tracking of the relative motion of two test bodies (a heavy "Shepherd", and a light "Particle") on board a drag-free capsule. The new estimates include (i) the sensitivity of Particle trajectories and G measurement to the Shepherd quadrupole moment uncertainties; (ii) the measurement errors of G and the strength of a putative Yukawa-type force whose range parameter $λ$ may be either of the order of a few metres or close to the Earth radius; (iii) a possible effect of the Van Allen radiation belts on the SEE experiment due to test body electric charging

description: Everyday experience consists of a constant tradeoff between perceiving external information while retaining internal information in memory. These two sources of information – internal and external – are used simultaneously to guide complex and goal-directed behavior. How do these two contrasting sources interact? This dissertation specifically addresses how the internal maintenance of information (i.e., memory) is able to function efficiently despite the processing of incoming information (i.e., perception). The following studies focus on (1) how working memory prioritization impacts the influence of memory on distracting perceptual processes, (2) how working memory prioritization impacts the influence of distraction on neural memory representations, (3) how incoming perception alters internal memory representations, and (4) how overloading perceptual processing impacts memory retention. Collectively, these works speak to the various consequences of distraction on working memory. By focusing on both the behavioral and neural consequences of distraction, this dissertation aims to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of how the brain handles complex internal cognitive tasks amidst a dynamic external environment.

Reinforcement learning

description: This thesis develops new methodologies that boost deep reinforcement learning algorithms from a probabilistic point of view. More specifically, three angles are studied to make improvements in terms of sample efficiency of the deep reinforcement learning algorithms: 1). We apply a hierarchical structure on policy construction to obtain a flexible policy so that it has the capability of capturing complex distribution and make more appropriate decisions. 2). We manage to reduce the variance of the policy gradient estimation calculated via a Monte Carlo estimation by designing a "self-critic'' baseline function, the new gradient estimator has a smaller variance and leads to a better empirical performance. 3). We apply the distributional reinforcement learning framework on the continuous-action setting with a stochastic policy, and stabilize the training process with double generative networks. All the methods bring clear gains, which demonstrate the benefits of applying deep probabilistic models to improve deep reinforcement learning algorithms.
A computer-based demonstration of the effects of reward bundling on self-control exhibited by children identified as impulsive

description: Impulsive choice refers to the preference for a smaller-sooner (SS) reward over a larger-later (LL) reward when the larger reward would have been chosen at a longer delay to the choice pair; self-control is the inverse. Patterns of preference for impulsive alternatives can have adverse effects on delay discounting and self-control, especially when associated with addiction and disabilities. Although research exists showing the effectiveness of various methods for decreasing rates of delay discounting and shifting preference towards self-control (e.g. magnitude effects; progressively increasing delays), it may be beneficial to explore additional procedures that lead to successful outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to extend and translate the basic literature on impulsive behavior to clinical populations by evaluating the effects of reward bundling on self-control using a computer-based model with individuals with disabilities.

description: Compact directed percolation is known to appear at the endpoint of the directed percolation critical line of the Domany-Kinzel cellular automaton in 1+1 dimension. Equivalently, such transition occurs at zero temperature in a magnetic field H, upon changing the sign of H, in the one-dimensional Glauber-Ising model with well known exponents characterising spin-cluster growth. We have investigated here numerically these exponents in the non-equilibrium generalization (NEKIM) of the Glauber model in the vicinity of the parity-conserving phase transition point of the kinks. Critical fluctuations on the level of kinks are found to affect drastically the characteristic exponents of spreading of spins while the hyperscaling relation holds in its form appropriate for compact clusters.

description: The continuing monitoring and surveying of the nearby space to detect Near Earth Objects (NEOs) and Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) are essential because of the threats that this kind of objects impose on the future of our planet. We need more computational resources and advanced algorithms to deal with the exponential growth of the digital cameras' performances and to be able to process (in near real-time) data coming from large surveys. This paper presents a software platform called NEARBY that supports automated detection of moving sources (asteroids) among stars from astronomical images. The detection procedure is based on the classic "blink" detection and, after that, the system supports visual analysis techniques to validate the moving sources, assisted by static and dynamical presentations.

description: In our concept paper from May 2022 (cf. related identifiers), we addressed the continuously increasing demand for using High-Performance-Computing (HPC) infrastructure in the Earth System Sciences (ESS), and the challenges arising from this for the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI).

From a description of typical use cases, we derived challenges in FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) Research Data Management (RDM) and computational workflow/data-flow management, as a motivation for driving developments of the NFDI Consortium Earth System Sciences (NFDI4Earth) on the HPC-centric side.

We issued recommendations that relate to these possible developments, and scheduled a recommendation status review after 12-24 months. This addendum discusses current and future topics with increasing significance for RDM in HPC in the ESS – together with a set of new recommendations related to these topics. It then reviews the fulfilment status of our previous recommendations and lays out necessary adjustments.

description: After a short history of the $Λ$-term it is explained why the (effective) cosmological constant is expected to obtain contributions from short-distance-physics, corresponding to an energy scale of at least 100 GeV. The actual tiny value of the cosmological constant in any natural scale of units represents, therefore, one of the deepest mysteries of present day fundamental physics. We also briefly discuss recent astronomical evidence for a cosmologically significant vacuum energy density causing an accelerating expansion of the universe. This arises mainly from the Hubble diagram of type Ia supernovae and from the observed temperature fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background radiation. If this should become an established fact, we are also confronted with a disturbing {\it cosmic coincidence} problem.

description: It is shown that certain sum rule identities exist which relate correlation functions for $n$ Potts spins on the boundary of a planar lattice for $n\geq 4$. Explicit expressions of the identities are obtained for $n=4,5$. It is also shown that the identities provide the missing link needed for a complete determination of the duality relation for the $n$-point correlation function. The $n=4$ duality relation is obtained explicitly. More generally we deduce the number of correlation identities for any $n$ as well as an inversion relation and a conjecture on the general form of the duality relation.

Caught in a web : how rival transitional networks (un)do LGBT rights

description: Recently, the world has seen a dramatic expansion in LGBT rights. Both across countries and within international organizations like the United Nations, LGBT rights are increasingly seen as human rights. Though a notable development, attention on the expansion of LGBT rights masks a simultaneous trend: rising backlash. During this same period, numerous countries re-banned marriage equality, LGBT communities were targeted by new “religious freedom” laws, and documented state violence increased. This story of backlash – and explaining why it is happening – is a story untold. This dissertation tells that story. An important pathway through which laws diffuse is via transnational networks. Consequently, as the international community became increasingly supportive of LGBT communities, having greater connections to it via pro-LGBT transnational networks is associated with liberalized policies. However, this only tells part of the story. Since the 1990s, an understudied set of actors has risen in the international arena: transnational anti-LGBT networks anchored in organizations such as World Congress of Families, Alliance Defending Freedom, the Vatican, and the Russian Orthodox Church. Therefore, to understand the simultaneous trends of expansion and contraction, we must also consider how countries are embedded within pro- and anti-LGBT networks. Indeed, I find that greater embeddedness within one network over the other predicts how LGBT issues are presented to local populations: as a positive call for equality and human rights or a negative threat to the “natural” family. The resulting valence of discourse directly affects government policy responses by changing the cultural meaning international calls for LGBT rights carry to domestic audiences. This study contributes to our broader understanding of the changing international system by revealing how illiberal actors simultaneously co-opt the mechanisms and structures built by the liberal international system to advance illiberal outcomes. Like their liberal counterparts, illiberal actors leverage international institutions and transnational networks to advance alternative cultural models across the global landscape. Illiberal models diminish the socializing influence of liberal values like human rights, multiculturalism, and democracy while legitimizing appeals to traditional gender roles, nationalism, and authoritarianism. Consequently, understanding these dynamics are important as we transition into a postliberal future.

description: We show that the outer automorphism groups of graph products of finitely generated abelian groups satisfy the Tits alternative, are residually finite, their so-called Torelli subgroups are finitely generated, and they satisfy a dichotomy between being virtually nilpotent and containing a non-abelian free subgroup that is determined by a graphical condition on the underlying labelled graph. Graph products of finitely generated abelian groups simultaneously generalize right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs) and right-angled Coxter groups (RACGs), providing a common framework for studying these groups. Our results extend a number of known results for the outer automorphism groups of RAAGs and/or RACGs by a variety of authors, including Caprace, Charney, Day, Ferov, Guirardel, Horbez, Minasyan, Vogtmann, Wade, and the current authors.

description: We study the evolution of gravitational waves through the preheating era that follows inflation. The oscillating inflaton drives parametric resonant growth of scalar field fluctuations, and although super-Hubble tensor modes are not strongly amplified, they do carry an imprint of preheating. This is clearly seen in the Weyl tensor, which provides a covariant description of gravitational waves.

description: The group theoretical quantization scheme is reconsidered by means of elementary systems. Already the quantization of a particle on a circle shows that the standard procedure has to be supplemented by an additional condition on the admissibility of group actions. A systematic strategy for finding admissible group actions for particular subbundles of cotangent spaces is developed, two-dimensional prototypes of which are T^*R^+ and S^1 x R^+ (interpreted as restrictions of T^*R and T^*S^1 to positive coordinate and momentum, respectively). In this framework (and under an additional, natural condition) an SO_+(1,2)-action on S^1 x R^+ results as the unique admissible group action. For symplectic manifolds which are (specific) parts of phase spaces with known quantum theory a simple projection method of quantization is formulated. For T^*R^+ and S^1 x R^+ equivalent results to those of more established (but more involved) quantization schemes are obtained. The approach may be of interest, e.g., in attempts to quantize gravity theories where demanding nondegenerate metrics of a fixed signature imposes similar constraints.

Domain Dynamics of Magnetic Films with Perpendicular Anisotropy

description: We study the magnetic properties of nanoscale magnetic films with large perpendicular anisotropy comparing polarization microscopy measurements on Co_28Pt_72 alloy samples based on the magneto-optical Kerr effect with Monte Carlo simulations of a corresponding micromagnetic model. We focus on the understanding of the dynamics especially the temperature and field dependence of the magnetisation reversal process. The experimental and simulational results for hysteresis, the reversal mechanism, domain configurations during the reversal, and the time dependence of the magnetisation are in very good qualitative agreement. The results for the field and temperature dependence of the domain wall velocity suggest that for thin films the hysteresis can be described as a depinning transition of the domain walls rounded by thermal activation for finite temperatures.

Localisation in 1D random random walks

description: Diffusion in a one dimensional random force field leads to interesting localisation effects, which we study using the equivalence with a directed walk model with traps. We show that although the average dispersion of positions $\bar{< x^2 > - < x > ^2}$ diverges for long times, the probability that two particles occupy the same site tends to a finite constant in the small bias phase of the model. Interestingly, the long time properties of this off-equilibrium, aging phase is similar to the equilibrium phase of the Random Energy Model.

Industry 4.0

description: The ongoing digital transformation of the manufacturing industry needs to be met with new forms of education and training to maintain a highly skilled workforce. New professional education concepts need to provide effective learning content that is industry-relevant, of high quality, and easily accessible. To tackle these challenges, the paper presents a methodology for developing a course founded on a combination of didactic approaches including blended and hybrid learning, active learning, and flipped classroom. According to industry needs in South-East Europe, the course design is then applied to selected topics around a smart assembly workstation, i.e., human-robot collaboration, enhanced quality control, and lean manufacturing 4.0. The trainings will be offered online, via E-learning and through the partners’ Learning Factories, i.e., hands-on. Examples of different concepts are presented in each Learning Factory.
Future Leaders' Perception of Democracy in Nigeria

description: The leaders in Nigeria are perceived to be largely if not entirely responsible for the present sorry state of affairs in the country. This is basically in relation to the erosion of globally accepted tenets of democracy. There is great concern and uncertainty about whether or not the future leaders will tow the line of the leadership that has been perceived as bad. Therefore, survey was used in this study to explore the future leaders’ perception of democracy. The findings showed that the future leaders are disposed towards towing the line that is better than that of the leadership under review. It is therefore, recommended that adequate punishment should be meted to all for actions or inactions that negate globally accepted correlates of democracy.
Non-equilibrium transitions in fully frustrated Josephson junction arrays

description: We study the effect of thermal fluctuations in a fully frustrated Josephson junction array driven by a current I larger than the apparent critical current I_c(T). We calculate numerically the behavior of the chiral order parameter of Z_2 symmetry and the transverse helicity modulus (related to the U(1) symmetry) as a function of temperature. We find that the Z_2 transition occurs at a temperature T_{Z_2}(I) which is lower than the temperature T_{U(1)}(I) for the U(1) transition. Both transitions could be observed experimentally from measurements of the longitudinal and transverse voltages.

Non-linear Schroedinger Dynamics of Matrix D-branes

description: We formulate an effective Schroedinger wave equation describing the quantum dynamics of a system of D0-branes by applying the Wilson renormalization group equation to the worldsheet partition function of a deformed sigma-model describing the system, which includes the quantum recoil due to the exchange of string states between the individual D-particles. We arrive at an effective Fokker-Planck equation for the probability density with diffusion coefficient determined by the total kinetic energy of the recoiling system. We use Galilean invariance of the system to show that there are three possible solutions of the associated non-linear Schroedinger equation depending on the strength of the open string interactions among the D-particles. When the open string energies are small compared to the total kinetic energy of the system, the solutions are governed by freely-propagating solitary waves. When the string coupling constant reaches a dynamically determined critical value, the system is described by minimal uncertainty wavepackets which describe the smearing of the D-particle coordinates due to the distortion of the surrounding spacetime from the string interactions. For strong string interactions, bound state solutions exist with effective mass determined by an energy-dependent shift of the static BPS mass of the D0-branes.

Magnetic Fields on the Flare Star Trappist-1: Consequences for Radius Inflation and Planetary Habitability

description: We construct evolutionary models of Trappist-1 in which magnetic fields impede the onset of convection according to a physics-based criterion. In the models that best fit all observational constraints, the photospheric fields in Tr-1 are found to be in the range 1450-1700 G. These are weaker by a factor of about 2 than the fields we obtained in previous magnetic models of two other cool dwarfs (GJ65A/B). Our results suggest that Tr-1 possesses a global poloidal field which is some one hundred times stronger than in the Sun. In the context of exoplanets in orbit around Tr-1, the strong poloidal fields on the star may help to protect the planets from the potentially destructive effects of coronal mass ejections. This, in combination with previous arguments about beneficial effects of flare photons in ultraviolet and visible portions of the spectrum, suggests that conditions on Tr-1 are not necessarily harmful to life on a planet in the habitable zone of Tr-1.

description: We investigate the properties of a model of granular matter consisting of $N$ Brownian particles on a line subject to inelastic mutual collisions. This model displays a genuine thermodynamic limit for the mean values of the energy and the energy dissipation. When the typical relaxation time $τ$ associated with the Brownian process is small compared with the mean collision time $τ_c$ the spatial density is nearly homogeneous and the velocity probability distribution is gaussian. In the opposite limit $τ\gg τ_c$ one has strong spatial clustering, with a fractal distribution of particles, and the velocity probability distribution strongly deviates from the gaussian one.

A 3D kinematic Babcock Leighton solar dynamo model sustained by dynamic magnetic buoyancy and flux transport processes

description: Magnetohydrodynamic interactions between plasma flows and magnetic fields is fundamental to the origin and sustenance of the 11-year sunspot cycle. These processes are intrinsically three-dimensional (3D) in nature. Our goal is to construct a 3D solar dynamo model that on the one hand captures the buoyant emergence of tilted bipolar sunspot pairs, and on the other hand produces cyclic large-scale field reversals mediated via surface flux-transport processes -- that is, the Babcock-Leighton mechanism. We perform kinematic dynamo simulations where the prescribed velocity field is a combination of solar-like differential rotation and meridional circulation, along with a parametrized turbulent diffusivity. We use a novel methodology for modeling magnetic buoyancy through field-strength-dependent 3D helical up-flows that results in the formation of tilted bipolar sunspots. The bipolar spots produced in our simulations participate in the process of poloidal-field generation through the Babcock-Leighton mechanism, resulting in self-sustained and periodic large-scale magnetic field reversal. Our parameter space study varying the amplitude of the meridional flow, the convection zone diffusivity, and parameters governing the efficiency of the magnetic buoyancy mechanism reveal their relative roles in determining properties of the sunspot cycle such as amplitude, period, and dynamical memory relevant to solar cycle prediction. We also derive a new dynamo number for the Babcock-Leighton solar dynamo mechanism which reasonably captures our model dynamics. This study elucidates the relative roles of different flux-transport processes in the Sun's convection zone in determining the properties and physics of the sunspot cycle and could potentially lead to realistic, data-driven 3D dynamo models for solar-activity predictions and exploration of stellar magnetism and starspot formation in other stars.
