description: We study in this paper the problem of iterative feedback gains tuning for a class of nonlinear systems. We consider Input-Output linearizable nonlinear systems with additive uncertainties. We first design a nominal Input-Output linearization-based controller that ensures global uniform boundedness of the output tracking error dynamics. Then, we complement the robust controller with a model-free multi-parametric extremum seeking (MES) control to iteratively auto-tune the feedback gains. We analyze the stability of the whole controller, i.e. robust nonlinear controller plus model-free learning algorithm. We use numerical tests to demonstrate the performance of this method on a mechatronics example.

description: The MSF process model describes a high-level sequence of activities for building and deploying IT solutions. Rather than prescribing a specific series of procedures, it is flexible enough to accommodate a broad range of IT projects. It combines two industry standard models: the waterfall and the spiral. An innovative aspect of this new version of the MSF model is that it covers the life cycle of a solution from project inception to live deployment. This helps project teams focus on customer business value, since no value is realized until the solution is deployed and in operation. MSF is a milestone-driven process. Milestones are points in the project when important deliverables have been completed and can be reviewed. Many key questions about the project are asked and answered, such as: Does the team agree on the project scope? Have we planned enough to proceed? Have we built what we said we would build? Is the solution working properly for the customer? The MSF process model is designed to accommodate changing project requirements by moving iterations through short development cycles and incremental versions of the solution. A number of supporting practices are recommended that help project teams use the process model successfully.

description: The technology of dynamic map fusion among networked vehicles has been developed to enlarge sensing ranges and improve sensing accuracies for individual vehicles. This paper proposes a federated learning (FL) based dynamic map fusion framework to achieve high map quality despite unknown numbers of objects in fields of view (FoVs), various sensing and model uncertainties, and missing data labels for online learning. The novelty of this work is threefold: (1) developing a three-stage fusion scheme to predict the number of objects effectively and to fuse multiple local maps with fidelity scores; (2) developing an FL algorithm which fine-tunes feature models (i.e., representation learning networks for feature extraction) distributively by aggregating model parameters; (3) developing a knowledge distillation method to generate FL training labels when data labels are unavailable. The proposed framework is implemented in the Car Learning to Act (CARLA) simulation platform. Extensive experimental results are provided to verify the superior performance and robustness of the developed map fusion and FL schemes.

description: We present an analysis of photometric and spectroscopic data of the Carina dSph galaxy, testing a new approach similar to that used to disentangle multiple populations in Galactic globular clusters (GCs). We show that a proper colour combination is able to separate a significant fraction of the red giant branch (RGB) of the two main Carina populations (the old one, \sim 12 Gyr, and the intermediate-age one, 4-8 Gyr). In particular, the c_UBI=(U-B)-(B-I) pseudo-colour allows us to follow the RGB of both populations along a relevant portion of the RGB. We find that the oldest stars have more negative c_UBI pseudo-colour than intermediate-age ones. We correlate the pseudo-colour of RGB stars with their chemical properties, finding a significant trend between the iron content and the c_UBI. Stars belonging to the old population are systematically more metal poor ([Fe/H]=-2.32\pm0.08 dex) than the intermediate-age ones ([Fe/H]=-1.82\pm0.03 dex). This gives solid evidence on the chemical evolution history of this galaxy, and we have a new diagnostic that can allow us to break the age-metallicity degeneracy of H-burning advanced evolutionary phases. We compared the distribution of stars in the c_UBI plane with theoretical isochrones, finding that no satisfactory agreement can be reached with models developed in a theoretical framework based on standard heavy element distributions. Finally, we discuss possible systematic differences when compared with multiple populations in GCs.

Laparoscopic approach

description: The Authors present a retrospective review of their record of cases, characterized by 4 cases of achalasia in which it was performed a Heller myotomy with front fundoplication (Thall) in laparoscopic approach in the period from 2012 to 2019. In paediatric achalasia, the laparoscopic Heller myotomy seems to be the best treatment because of its multiple advantages offered by the minimally invasive technique. First of all, thanks to the video-technique, which allows a complete and extended myotomy, the accuracy of this operation is maximized; moreover, the post-operative pain is widely reduced, thanks to the minimal dissection and traction of the tissues; finally, but not negligible, this approach ensures a better aesthetic result than the classic open technique. With regard to the front fundoplication, the Authors suggest that it is mandatory because, even if it extends the operating time, it ensures a natural protection to the myotomy herniated mucosa and avoids gastro-oesophageal reflux, which often occurs after the surgical correction, thus obliging to perform a reoperation.

description: (1) Background: Kidney and cardiovascular diseases are responsible for a large fraction of population morbidity and mortality. Early, targeted, personalized intervention represents the ideal approach to cope with this challenge. Proteomic/peptidomic changes are largely responsible for the onset and progression of these diseases and should hold information about the optimal means of treatment and prevention. (2) Methods: We investigated the prediction of renal or cardiovascular events using previously defined urinary peptidomic classifiers CKD273, HF2, and CAD160 in a cohort of 5585 subjects, in a retrospective study. (3) Results: We have demonstrated a highly significant prediction of events, with an HR of 2.59, 1.71, and 4.12 for HF, CAD, and CKD, respectively. We applied in silico treatment, implementing on each patient’s urinary profile changes to the classifiers corresponding to exactly defined peptide abundance changes, following commonly used interventions (MRA, SGLT2i, DPP4i, ARB, GLP1RA, olive oil, and exercise), as defined in previous studies. Applying the proteomic classifiers after the in silico treatment indicated the individual benefits of specific interventions on a personalized level. (4) Conclusions: The in silico evaluation may provide information on the future impact of specific drugs and interventions on endpoints, opening the door to a precision-based medicine approach. An investigation into the extent of the benefit of this approach in a prospective clinical trial is warranted.

description: In this work, we analyse the all-orders resummation structure of the momentum sharing fraction, $z_g$, opening angle, $θ_g$, and relative transverse momentum, $k_{t,g}$, of the splitting tagged by the dynamical grooming procedure in hadronic collisions. We demonstrate that their resummation does non-exponentiate and it is free of clustering logarithms. Then, we analytically compute the probability distributions of ($z_g$, $θ_g$, $k_{t,g}$) up to next-to next-to-double logarithm accuracy (N2DL) in the narrow jet limit, including a matching to leading order in $α_s$. On the phenomenological side, we perform an analytic-to-parton level comparison with Pythia and Herwig. We find that differences between the analytic and the Monte-Carlo results are dominated by the infra-red regulator of the parton shower. Further, we present the first analytic comparison to preliminary ALICE data and highlight the role of non-perturbative corrections in such low-$p_t$ regime. Once the analytic result is corrected by a phenomenologically determined non-perturbative factor, we find very good agreement with the data.

description: Fe$_3$O$_4$ is a ferrimagnetic spinel ferrite that exhibits electric conductivity at room temperature (RT). Although the material has been predicted to be a half metal according to ab-initio calculations, magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with Fe$_3$O$_4$ electrodes have demonstrated a small tunnel magnetoresistance effect. Not even the sign of the TMR ratio has been experimentally established. Here, we report on the magnetic properties of epitaxial Fe$_3$O$_4$ films with various crystal orientations. The films exhibited apparent crystal orientation dependence on hysteresis curves. In particular, Fe$_3$O$_4$(110) films exhibited in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. With respect to the squareness of hysteresis, Fe$_3$O$_4$ (111) demonstrated the largest squareness. Furthermore, we fabricated MTJs with Fe$_3$O$_4$(110) electrodes, and obtained an TMR effect of -12\% at RT. The negative TMR ratio corresponded to the negative spin polarization of Fe$_3$O$_4$ predicted from band calculations.

Η μυϊκή· καταστροφή διαρκεί για μικρό χρονικό διάστημα και κάνει ανθεκτικότερο το μυ στην άσκηση αυτή. Ο σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης ήταν ερευνήσουμε διάφορες πλευρές της μυϊκής καταστροφής και την επίδρασή της στη δρομική οικονομία. Μεθοδολογία: Η μελέτη αυτή χωρίστηκε σε τέσσερα μέρη. Τα αποτελέσματα του κάθε μέρους προσδιόρισαν το σχεδιασμό του επόμενου μέρους. Ο αριθμός των δοκιμαζόμενων ήταν 10-12 για κάθε μέρος της μελέτης και η έκκεντρη άσκηση χρησιμοποιήθηκε για την πρόκληση της μυϊκής καταστροφής. Η έκκεντρη άσκηση εκτελέστηκε σε ισοκινητικό δυναμόμετρο στο οποίο μπορούσαμε να ελέγξουμε την ένταση της άσκησης. Η μυϊκή καταστροφή και η μυϊκή απόδοση αξιολογήθηκαν για τέσσερις συνεχόμενες μέρες μετά την έκκεντρη άσκηση. Στο τελευταίο μέρος της μελέτης, αξιολογήθηκε επίσης η δρομική οικονομία. <9 Αποτελέσματα: Τα κύρια αποτελέσματα είναι τα ακόλουθα: 1) όμοιες ποσότητες μέγιστης και υπομέγιστης έκκεντρης άσκησης προκαλούν σχεδόν τον ίδιο βαθμό μυϊκής καταστροφής αλλά, η μυϊκή απόδοση επηρεάζεται σε μεγαλύτερο βαθμό από τη μέγιστης έντασης έκκεντρη άσκηση, 2) συγκριτικά με το μεγάλο μήκος μυός, το μικρό μήκος μυός προκαλεί μεγαλύτερη μυϊκή καταστροφή και σημαντικότερη μείωση της μυϊκής απόδοσης, 3) μεγαλύτερη μυϊκή καταστροφή και πιο αργή αποκατάσταση της μυϊκής απόδοσης είναι εμφανής σε μυϊκές ομάδες των άνω άκρων σε σχέση με τις μυϊκές ομάδες των κάτω άκρων και 4) η μυϊκή καταστροφή δεν επηρεάζει τη δρομική οικονομία σε ελεύθερα αθλούμενους. Συμπεράσματα: Η έκκεντρη άσκηση παρουσιάζει διαφορετική επίδραση στον μυϊκό ιστό ανάλογα με α) την ένταση της έκκεντρης άσκησης, β) το μήκος του μυός κατά τη διάρκεια της άσκησης, και γ) το που βρίσκονται οι μύες που ασκούνται, στα άνω ή στα κάτω άκρα. Όμως, αν και η έκκεντρη άσκηση προκαλεί μυϊκή καταστροφή και μείωση της απόδοσης, αυτό δεν φαίνεται να επηρεάζει τη δρομική οικονομία των δοκιμαζόμενων.

description: One of the main limitations in state-of-the art solid-state quantum processors are qubit decoherence and relaxation due to noise in their local environment. For the field to advance towards full fault-tolerant quantum computing, a better understanding of the underlying microscopic noise sources is therefore needed. Adsorbates on surfaces, impurities at interfaces and material defects have been identified as sources of noise and dissipation in solid-state quantum devices. Here, we use an ultra-high vacuum package to study the impact of vacuum loading, UV-light exposure and ion irradiation treatments on coherence and slow parameter fluctuations of flux tunable superconducting transmon qubits. We analyse the effects of each of these surface treatments by comparing averages over many individual qubits and measurements before and after treatment. The treatments studied do not significantly impact the relaxation rate $Γ_1$ and the echo dephasing rate $Γ_2^\textrm{e}$, except for Ne ion bombardment which reduces $Γ_1$. In contrast, flux noise parameters are improved by removing magnetic adsorbates from the chip surfaces with UV-light and NH$_3$ treatments. Additionally, we demonstrate that SF$_6$ ion bombardment can be used to adjust qubit frequencies in-situ and post fabrication without affecting qubit coherence at the sweet spot.

description: Water vapor has been detected in protoplanetary disks. In this work we model the distribution of water vapor in protoplanetary disks with a thermo-chemical code. For a set of parameterized disk models, we calculate the distribution of dust temperature and radiation field of the disk with a Monte Carlo method, and then solve the gas temperature distribution and chemical composition. The radiative transfer includes detailed treatment of scattering by atomic hydrogen and absorption by water of Lyman alpha photons, since the Lyman alpha line dominates the UV spectrum of accreting young stars. In a fiducial model, we find that warm water vapor with temperature around 300 K is mainly distributed in a small and well-confined region in the inner disk. The inner boundary of the warm water region is where the shielding of UV field due to dust and water itself become significant. The outer boundary is where the dust temperature drops below the water condensation temperature. A more luminous central star leads to a more extended distribution of warm water vapor, while dust growth and settling tends to reduce the amount of warm water vapor. Based on typical assumptions regarding the elemental oxygen abundance and the water chemistry, the column density of warm water vapor can be as high as 1E22 cm^{-2}. A small amount of hot water vapor with temperature higher than ~300 K exists in a more extended region in the upper atmosphere of the disk. Cold water vapor with temperature lower than 100 K is distributed over the entire disk, produced by photodesorption of the water ice.

description: Reportedly, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) is closely related to the progression of several malignancies. This work is aimed to probe the role of UBE2T in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. The microarray analysis was executed to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HCC tissues. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA2) databases, PCR and immunohistochemistry were utilized to validate the dysregulation of UBE2T in HCC. Kaplan-Meier analysis was employed to determine the relationship between UBE2T expression and the prognosis of HCC patients. PCR was carried out to detect UBE2T protein expression in HCC cell lines. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and 5-bromo-2ʹ-deoxyuridine (BrdU) experiments were conducted to examine the proliferation of HCC cells. Scratch healing and Transwell experiments were conducted to examine the migration of HCC cells. Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments predicted and validated the targeting relationship with miR-212-5p and UBE2T. We found that UBE2T expression was remarkably up-modulated in HCC tissues and cell lines, and its high expression was linked to a worse prognosis in HCC patients. UBE2T overexpression enhanced HCC cell proliferation and migration. Additionally, UBE2T was verified as a downstream target of miR-212-5p. In conclusion, UBE2T overexpression is markedly linked to unfavorable prognosis in HCC patients. UBE2T, regulated by miR-212-5p, significantly enhances the malignant phenotypes of HCC cells, which can be used as a target for HCC diagnosis and prognosis.

description: Risk management is a core discipline of the Microsoft® Solutions Framework (MSF). MSF recognizes that change and the resulting uncertainty are inherent aspects of the IT life cycle. The MSF Risk Management Discipline advocates a proactive approach to dealing with this uncertainty, assessing risks continuously, and using them to influence decision-making throughout the life cycle. The discipline describes principles, concepts, and guidance together with a five-step process for successful, ongoing risk management: Identify risks, analyze risks, plan contingency and mitigation strategies, control the status of risks, and learn from the outcomes.
A Framework for Analysis and Comparison of Dynamic Malware Analysis Tools

Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)

description: Malware writers have employed various obfuscation and polymorphism techniques to thwart static analysis approaches and bypassing antivirus tools. Dynamic analysis techniques, however, have essentially overcome these deceits by observing the actual behaviour of the code execution. In this regard, various methods, techniques and tools have been proposed. However, because of the diverse concepts and strategies used in the implementation of these methods and tools, security researchers and malware analysts find it difficult to select the required optimum tool to investigate the behaviour of a malware and to contain the associated risk for their study. Focusing on two dynamic analysis techniques: Function Call monitoring and Information Flow Tracking, this paper presents a comparison framework for dynamic malware analysis tools. The framework will assist the researchers and analysts to recognize the tools implementation strategy, analysis approach, system wide analysis support and its overall handling of binaries, helping them to select a suitable and effective one for their study and analysis.

description: In transport, the topological Hall effect (THE) presents itself as non-monotonic features (or humps and dips) in the Hall signal and is widely interpreted as a sign of chiral spin textures, like magnetic skyrmions. However, when anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is also present, the co-existence of two AHEs could give rise to similar artifacts, making it difficult to distinguish between genuine THE with AHE and two-component AHE. Here we confirm genuine THE with AHE by means of transport and magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) microscopy, in which magnetic skyrmions are directly observed, and find that genuine THE occurs in the transition region of the AHE. In sharp contrast, the artifact "THE", or two-component AHE occurs well beyond the saturation of the "AHE component" (under the false assumption of THE+AHE). Furthermore, we distinguish artifact "THE" from genuine THE by three methods: 1. Minor loops, 2. Temperature dependence, 3. Gate dependence. Minor loops of genuine THE with AHE are always within the full loop, while minor loops of the artifact "THE" may reveal a single loop that cannot fit into the "AHE component". Besides, the temperature or gate dependence of the artifact "THE" may also be accompanied by a polarity change of the "AHE component", as the non-monotonic features vanish, while the temperature dependence of genuine THE with AHE reveals no such change. Our work may help future researchers to exercise cautions and use these methods to examine carefully in order to ascertain genuine THE.

description: A number of experiments have evidenced signatures of enhanced superconducting correlations after photoexcitation. Initially, these experiments were interpreted as resulting from quasi-static changes in the Hamiltonian parameters, for example, due to lattice deformations or melting of competing phases. Yet, several recent observations indicate that these conjectures are either incorrect or do not capture all the observed phenomena, which include reflectivity exceeding unity, large shifts of Josephson plasmon edges, and appearance of new peaks in terahertz reflectivity. These observations can be explained from the perspective of a Floquet theory involving a periodic drive of system parameters, but the origin of the underlying oscillations remains unclear. In this paper, we demonstrate that following incoherent photoexcitation, long-lived oscillations are generally expected in superconductors with low-energy Josephson plasmons, such as in cuprates or fullerene superconductor K$_3$C$_{60}$. These oscillations arise from the parametric generation of plasmon pairs due to pump-induced perturbation of the superconducting order parameter. We show that this bi-plasmon response can persist even above the transition temperature as long as strong superconducting fluctuations are present. Our analysis offers a robust framework to understand light-induced superconducting behavior, and the predicted bi-plasmon oscillations can be directly detected using available experimental techniques.

description: Στην παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή μελετήθηκαν οι μοριακοί μηχανισμοί που εμπλέκονται στη δημιουργία του τριμερούς συμπλόκου αμινοακυλίωσης του tRNA του S. cerevisiae, που αποτελείται από τις πρωτεΐνες Arclp, MetRS και GluRS, καθώς και ο ρόλος των μη καταλυτικών επικρατειών των δύο ενζύμων. Αρχικά χαρακτηρίστηκαν ποσοτικά οι αλληλεπιδράσεις ανάμεσα στις πρωτεΐνες του συμπλόκου χρησιμοποιώντας κυρίως τη μέθοδο συντονισμού πλασμονίων επιφάνειας στο σύστημα Biacore. Η ανάλυση αυτή έδειξε ότι η Arclp έχει μεγαλύτερη συγγένεια για την GluRS σε σύγκριση με τη MetRS, απέδειξε ότι οι καταλυτικές επικράτειες των συνθετασών δεν συμμετέχουν στη δημιουργία του συμπλόκου, και πρότεινε την ανεξάρτητη πρόσδεση των δύο συνθετασών στην Arclp. Στη συνέχεια πραγματοποιήθηκε ανάλυση της συνεισφοράς συγκεκριμένων αμινοξέων στο σχηματισμό του συμπλόκου με κατασκευή σημειακών μεταλλαγμάτων και των τριών πρωτεϊνών του συμπλόκου και τον έλεγχο της ικανότητας τους να σχηματίζουν σύμπλοκο in vivo και in vitro. Τα αποτελέσματα ταυτοποίησαν κατάλοιπα αμινοξέων που είναι σημαντικά για την κάθε αλληλεπίδραση, ποσοτικοποίησαν τη συμμετοχή τους και υπέδειξαν ότι ο σχηματισμός του συμπλόκου μεσολαβείται κατά κύριο λόγο από δυνάμεις Van der Waals. Επιπλέον, η υποκυτταρική κατανομή των σημειακών μεταλλαγμάτων απέδειξε ότι η υποκυτταρική κατανομή της MetRS εξαρτάται από τη δημιουργία συμπλόκου με την Arclp. Τέλος, για την κατανόηση του ρόλου των Ν- τελικών προεκτάσεων των δύο συνθετασών και της λειτουργίας της TRBD της Arclp, κατασκευάστηκαν χιμαιρικές πρωτεΐνες στις οποίες οι καταλυτικές επικράτειες της MetRS (ΜΚ) ή της GluRS (ΕΚ) συνδέθηκαν απευθείας στην TRBD της Arclp. Η μελέτη αυτή έδειξε ότι η ΜΚ-TRBD μπορεί να υποκαταστήσει λειτουργικά το σύμπλοκο Arclp/MetRS τόσο σε σχέση με την καταλυτική του απόδοση όσο και με την υποκυτταρική του κατανομή και πρότεινε ότι ο μοναδικός ρόλος της Ν-τελικής επικράτειας της MetRS είναι η δημιουργία συμπλόκου με την Arclp. Αντίθετα, η σύντηξη της TRBD στην ΕΚ δεν επηρέασε σημαντικά την λειτουργία της καταλυτικής επικράτειας του ενζύμου, ούτε άλλαξε την υποκυτταρική του κατανομή.

description: As an important part of urban landscape research, analyzing and studying street-level greenery can increase the understanding of a city's greenery, contributing to better urban living environment planning and design. Planning the best path of urban greenery is a means to effectively maximize the use of urban greenery, which plays a positive role in the physical and mental health of urban residents and the path planning of visitors. In this paper, we used Google Street View (GSV) to obtain street view images of Osaka City. The semantic segmentation model is adopted to segment the street view images and analyze the Green View Index (GVI) of Osaka City. Based on the GVI, we take advantage of the adjacency matrix and Floyd-Warshall Algorithm to calculate Green View Index best path, solving the limitations of ArcGIS software. Our analysis not only allows the calculation of specific routes for the GVI best paths but also realizes the visualization and integration of neighborhood urban greenery. By summarizing all the data, we can conduct an intuitive feeling and objective analysis of the street-level greenery in the research area. Based on this, such as urban residents and visitors can maximize the available natural resources for a better life. The dataset and code are available at https://github.com/Jackieam/GVI-Best-Path.

Nudged-elastic band method with two climbing images: finding transition states in complex energy landscapes

description: The nudged-elastic band (NEB) method is modified with concomitant two climbing images (C2-NEB) to find a transition state (TS) in complex energy landscapes, such as those with serpentine minimal energy path (MEP). If a single climbing image (C1-NEB) successfully finds the TS, C2-NEB finds it with higher stability and accuracy. However, C2-NEB is suitable for more complex cases, where C1-NEB misses the TS because the MEP and NEB directions near the saddle point are different. Generally, C2-NEB not only finds the TS but guarantees that the climbing images approach it from the opposite sides along the MEP, and it estimates accuracy from the three images: the highest-energy one and its climbing neighbors. C2-NEB is suitable for fixed-cell NEB and the generalized solid-state NEB (SS-NEB).

Modelling sub-daily precipitation extremes with the blended generalised extreme value distribution

description: A new method is proposed for modelling the yearly maxima of sub-daily precipitation, with the aim of producing spatial maps of return level estimates. Yearly precipitation maxima are modelled using a Bayesian hierarchical model with a latent Gaussian field, with the blended generalised extreme value (bGEV) distribution used as a substitute for the more standard generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution. Inference is made less wasteful with a novel two-step procedure that performs separate modelling of the scale parameter of the bGEV distribution using peaks over threshold data. Fast inference is performed using integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA) together with the stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) approach, both implemented in R-INLA. Heuristics for improving the numerical stability of R-INLA with the GEV and bGEV distributions are also presented. The model is fitted to yearly maxima of sub-daily precipitation from the south of Norway, and is able to quickly produce high-resolution return level maps with uncertainty. The proposed two-step procedure provides an improved model fit over standard inference techniques when modelling the yearly maxima of sub-daily precipitation with the bGEV distribution.
Linear and nonlinear evolution of current-carrying highly magnetized jets

description: We investigate the linear and nonlinear evolution of current-carrying jets in a periodic configuration by means of high resolution three-dimensional numerical simulations. The jets under consideration are strongly magnetized with a variable pitch profile and initially in equilibrium under the action of a force-free magnetic field. The growth of current-driven (CDI) and Kelvin-Helmholtz (KHI) instabilities is quantified using three selected cases corresponding to static, Alfvenic and super-Alfvenic jets. During the early stages, we observe large-scale helical deformations of the jet corresponding to the growth of the initially excited CDI mode. A direct comparison between our simulation results and the analytical growth rates obtained from linear theory reveals good agreement on condition that high-resolution and accurate discretization algorithms are employed. After the initial linear phase, the jet structure is significantly altered and, while slowly-moving jets show increasing helical deformations, larger velocity shear are violently disrupted on a few Alfven crossing time leaving a turbulent flow structure. Overall, kinetic and magnetic energies are quickly dissipated into heat and during the saturated regime the jet momentum is redistributed on a larger surface area with most of the jet mass travelling at smaller velocities. The effectiveness of this process is regulated by the onset of KHI instabilities taking place at the jet/ambient interface and can be held responsible for vigorous jet braking and entrainment.

description: In this paper, we study the effects of a modified theory of gravity - the rainbow gravity - on the relativistic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). We initially discuss some formal aspects of the model in order to compute the corrections to the relevant quantities of the condensate. Following, we evaluate the generating functional from which obtain some thermodynamic parameters. Then we calculate the corrected critical temperature $T_c$ that sets the relativistic Bose-Einstein condensate considering the three principal rainbow functions, finding, in addition, a phenomenological upper bound for the parameters involved in the model. Finally, we discuss how harder is for the particles at an arbitrary temperature $T

description: This is the second and final societal impact report arising from activities in the CSI-COP project. It follows the first societal impact report which presented the initial impact of the project, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, on CSI-COP project partners. Since then, we have seen societal impact spread to the citizen scientists who joined as website and app investigators with respect to compliance of the general data protection regulation (GDPR). Their experience with CSI-COP researchers, and as a result of their findings, has led to changes in their online behaviour to better manage their personal data when using the Internet, including through a smart mobile device. This behaviour change includes not accepting “all cookies” on websites and checking app permissions. The societal impact influenced word-of-mouth dissemination by the citizen scientists about the rights in the GDPR. Additionally, CSI-COP’s societal impact included winning an industry privacy award (PICCASO), and inspiring an international organisation to join in legacy activities.
