description: We present an approach to deriving global properties of accretion disks from the knowledge of local solutions derived from numerical simulations based on the shearing box approximation. The approach consists of a two-step procedure. First a local solution valid for all values of the disk height is constructed by piecing together an interior solution obtained numerically with an analytical exterior radiative solution. The matching is obtained by assuming hydrostatic balance and radiative equilibrium. Although in principle the procedure can be carried out in general, it simplifies considerably when the interior solution is fully convective. In these cases, the construction is analogous to the derivation of the Hayashi tracks for protostars. The second step consists of piecing together the local solutions at different radii to obtain a global solution. Here we use the symmetry of the solutions with respect to the defining dimensionless numbers--in a way similar to the use of homology relations in stellar structure theory--to obtain the scaling properties of the various disk quantities with radius.

Why Just Boogie? Translating Between Intermediate Verification Languages

Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)

description: The verification systems Boogie and Why3 use their respective intermediate languages to generate verification conditions from high-level programs. Since the two systems support different back-end provers (such as Z3 and Alt-Ergo) and are used to encode different high-level languages (such as C# and Java), being able to translate between their intermediate languages would provide a way to reuse one system's features to verify programs meant for the other. This paper describes a translation of Boogie into WhyML (Why3's intermediate language) that preserves semantics, verifiability, and program structure to a large degree. We implemented the translation as a tool and applied it to 194 Boogie-verified programs of various sources and sizes; Why3 verified 83% of the translated programs with the same outcome as Boogie. These results indicate that the translation is often effective and practically applicable.

description: In our day to day lives, we are sometimes presented with information from two different channels of information, and sometimes this information can be incongruent. For example, if someone were to give directions and point left but say right instead. In situations such as these, which information channel do people rely on? To answer this question, we conducted two experiments. In Experiment 1, participants followed instructions from verbal and visual channels, that were sometimes incongruent, to move objects on their screens. In the first (training) block, probabilistic feedback either biased participants towards the verbal or the visual channel. The second (test) block contained no feedback. We found statistical learning of the bias in both verbal and visual conditions in the training block, although there was a stronger bias towards the verbal channel and much variability among participants. To investigate the origin of this variability, Experiment 2 removed feedback. Instead, participants completed two additional tasks: the Corsi Block and Digit Span tasks, which measure visual and verbal working memory, respectively. The results showed that people with higher visuospatial working memory showed less bias towards relying on the verbal channel. Collectively, these data suggest a bias towards prioritizing verbal information unless people have strong visuospatial working memory or the environment signals that the verbal channel is less reliable.

description: Recent technological advances in cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) are paving the way to utilise multiple quantum emitters confined in a single optical cavity. In such systems it is crucially important to control the quantum mechanical coupling of individual emitters to the cavity mode. In this regard, combining ion trap technologies with CQED provides a particularly promising approach due to the well-established motional control over trapped ions. Here we experimentally demonstrate coupling of up to five trapped ions in a string to a high-finesse optical cavity. By changing the axial position and spacing of the ions in a fully deterministic manner, we systematically characterise their coupling to the cavity mode through visibility measurements of the cavity emission. In good agreement with the theoretical model, the results demonstrate that the geometrical configuration of multiple trapped ions can be manipulated to obtain optimal cavity coupling. Our system presents a new ground to explore CQED with multiple quantum emitters, enabled by the highly controllable collective light-matter interaction.
The Restriction on Predicative Codas in Existential There-Clauses. Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives

description: This thesis investigates the so-called Predicate Restriction (PR) in English existential sentences. The general consensus in the literature is that only stage-level predicates (i.e. predicates denoting temporary properties, like 'sick') can appear in the coda of an existential sentence, while individual-level predicates (i.e. predicates that denote permanent properties, like 'tall') are excluded. After a discussion of the various theoretical approaches to the PR (syntactic, semantic, as well as pragmatic), this thesis pursues two empirical studies, using both corpus data from the BNC and a judgment study. Both studies confirm the theoretical preference for SLP (in a general sense), but also show that the distinction between predicates should not be reduced to a binary SLP–ILP choice. Predicates should rather be analysed in a more fine-grained system with multiple factors, as done in Jäger (2001).

description: The low flux of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) makes it challenging to understand their origin and nature. A very large effective aperture is provided by the Lunar Askaryan technique. Particle cascades in a dielectric medium produce radio emission through the Askaryan effect. Ground based radio telescopes are used to search for nanosecond radio pulses that are produced when cosmic rays or neutrinos interact with the Moon’s surface. The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is currently the largest radio array operating at frequencies between 110−190 MHz; the optimum frequency range for Lunar signal search and 30−80 MHz for radio detection of air showers. One minute of observation has been carried out with six LOFAR stations beam-formed towards the Moon. In this contribution, we present some preliminary results of the analysis of the data and a complete description of the analysis steps.

description: This document describes the content of the DiLCo Video Reader (http://www.youtube.com/@DiLCo_Video_Reader), a compilation of research talks on digital language and communication research. It comprises 36 lectures that were curated by the DiLCo network (dilco.uni-hamburg.de) and presented between October 2021 and July 2024 by expert researchers from all over the world.

DiLCo (“Digital Language Variation in Context”) was an international scientific network initiated in 2021 and coordinated at the University of Hamburg by two linguists, Jannis Androutsopoulos and Heike Zinsmeister. The network included scholars from Indiana University, Bloomington, King’s College London, Utrecht University, University of Luxembourg, and University of Copenhagen (list of members). During its three years of operation, DiLCo aimed at stimulating scientific exchange in digital language and communication research, bridging gaps between qualitative (interactional, ethnographic) and quantitative (variationist, computational) methodologies, and supporting methodology training and early career development for doctoral students from all participating universities. To fulfil these aims, the DiLCo network organised various off- and online activities, including an online Lecture Series that showcased cutting-edge research and three ‘Methods Day’ workshops dedicated to digital research ethics, computational methods, and mixed-method approaches.

The DiLCo Video Reader contains all video-recorded content that was commissioned, curated, and produced by DiLCo from October 2021 to June 2024. This content was made available shortly after release on Hamburg University’s video portal, Lecture2Go. Its curation into a YouTube channel draws on the platform’s affordances to group thematically related videos into playlists and makes this content easily accessible to members of the global academic community.

DiLCo was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg under the Excellence Strategy of the Federal Government and the Länder (funding number: Z5-V2-003:TN 2021 DiL.Co).

description: Digitization of images has made image editing easier. Ease of image editing tempted users and professionals to manipulate digital images leading to digital image forgeries. Today digital image forgery has posed a great threat to the authenticity of the popular digital media, the digital images. A lot of research is going on worldwide to detect image forgery and to separate the forged images from their authentic counterparts. This paper provides a novel intensity invariant detection model (IIDM) for detection of intensity variant clones that is robust against JPEG compression, noise attacks and blurring.

description: We show that the minimum Renyi entropy output of a quantum channel is locally additive for Renyi parameter alpha>1. While our work extends the results of [10] (in which local additivity was proven for alpha=1), it is based on several new techniques that incorporate the multiplicative nature of p-norms, in contrast to the additivity property of the von-Neumann entropy. Our results demonstrate that the counterexamples to the Renyi additivity conjectures exhibit global effects of quantum channels. Interestingly, the approach presented here can not be extended to Renyi entropies with parameter alpha<1.

description: Recent spikes in hate crimes against Chinese Americans along with increased news coverage of China due to the coronavirus pandemic suggests a significant relationship between media portrayals of China and Americans’ opinions of Chinese Americans. This thesis explores this relationship to provide information on the impact of media portrayals of China on Americans’ opinions of Chinese Americans. Can different visual stimuli and rhetorical framings of news articles about China prime Americans to see Chinese Americans as a “yellow peril” or “model minority”? This research answers the preceding question empirically through an original online survey experiment in Qualtrics that recruited about 500 respondents from Amazon Mechanical Turk.

description: Asynchronous polars (APs) are accreting white dwarfs (WDs) that have different WD and orbital angular velocities, unlike the rest of the known polars, which rotate synchronously (i.e., their WD and orbital angular velocities are the same). Past nova eruptions are the predicted cause of the asynchronicity, in part due to the fact that one of the APs, V1500 Cyg, was observed to undergo a nova eruption in 1975. We used the Southern African Large Telescope 10m class telescope and the MDM 2.4m Hiltner telescope to search for nova shells around three of the remaining four APs (V1432 Aql, BY Cam, and CD Ind) as well as one Intermediate Polar with a high asynchronicity (EX Hya). We found no evidence of nova shells in any of our images. We therefore cannot say that any of the systems besides V1500 Cyg had nova eruptions, but because not all post-nova systems have detectable shells, we also cannot exclude the possibility of a nova eruption occurring in any of these systems and knocking the rotation out of sync.

description: Mobile-edge computing (MEC) emerges as a promising paradigm to improve the quality of computation experience for mobile devices. Nevertheless, the design of computation task scheduling policies for MEC systems inevitably encounters a challenging two-timescale stochastic optimization problem. Specifically, in the larger timescale, whether to execute a task locally at the mobile device or to offload a task to the MEC server for cloud computing should be decided, while in the smaller timescale, the transmission policy for the task input data should adapt to the channel side information. In this paper, we adopt a Markov decision process approach to handle this problem, where the computation tasks are scheduled based on the queueing state of the task buffer, the execution state of the local processing unit, as well as the state of the transmission unit. By analyzing the average delay of each task and the average power consumption at the mobile device, we formulate a power-constrained delay minimization problem, and propose an efficient one-dimensional search algorithm to find the optimal task scheduling policy. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the capability of the proposed optimal stochastic task scheduling policy in achieving a shorter average execution delay compared to the baseline policies.

description: Presentation given by Dr Nicola Knight on behalf of the PSDI in the Connecting RDM I session of the 1st Conference on Research Data Infrastructure Abstract: In this presentation we discuss the activities undertaken in the UK through the Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI) initiative, part of the wider Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) Programme. We will present the aims of the PSDI initiative, our initial scoping work and trials, and suggest how this project can and should interact with other related initiatives on a national and global scale. Physical Scientists are crying out for a socio-technical data infrastructure that connects existing experimental and computational facilities. We believe that a cross-discipline and cross-technique digital infrastructure that builds on and bridges across existing initiatives, while these continue to serve their particular fields, is crucial to, and the best way to achieve global collaborations in the 21st century.

description: For about a decade, the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) peak at about 105 Mpc/h has provided a standard ruler test of the LCDM cosmological model, a member of the Friedmann--Lemaitre--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) family of cosmological models---according to which comoving space is rigid. However, general relativity does not require comoving space to be rigid. During the virialisation epoch, when the most massive structures form by gravitational collapse, it should be expected that comoving space evolves inhomogeneous curvature as structure grows. The BAO peak standard ruler should also follow this inhomogeneous evolution if the comoving rigidity assumption is false. This "standard" ruler has now been detected to be flexible, as expected under general relativity.

description: Airway infection with pathogens and its associated pulmonary exacerbations (PEX) are the major causes of morbidity and premature death in cystic fibrosis (CF). Preventing or postponing chronic infections requires early diagnosis. However, limitations of conventional microbiology-based methods can hamper identification of exacerbations and specific pathogen detection. Analyzing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath samples may be an interesting tool in this regard, as VOC-biomarkers can characterize specific airway infections in CF. We address the current achievements in VOC-analysis and discuss studies assessing VOC-biomarkers and fingerprints, i.e. a combination of multiple VOCs, in breath samples aiming at pathogen and PEX detection in people with CF (pwCF). We aim to provide bases for further research in this interesting field. Overall, VOC-based analysis is a promising tool for diagnosis of infection and inflammation with potential to monitor disease progression in pwCF. Advantages over conventional diagnostic methods, including easy and non-invasive sampling procedures, may help to drive prompt, suitable therapeutic approaches in the future. Our review shall encourage further research, including validation of VOC-based methods. Specifically, longitudinal validation under standardized conditions is of interest in order to ensure repeatability and enable inclusion in CF diagnostic routine.

description: In metastatic breast cancer (MBC), PIK3CA mutations, activating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway seem to be associated with chemotherapy resistance and poor outcome. Inhibition of the PI3K signaling pathway may lead to sensitization and prevention of the development of resistance to cytotoxic drugs. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-tumor activity of low-dose vinorelbine (VRL) combined with alpelisib, an α-selective PI3K inhibitor and degrader, in breast cancer (BC) cells. Human BC cell lines MCF-7, T-47D [both hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, PIK3CA-mutated], MDA-MB-231 and BT-549 (both triple-negative, wild-type PIK3CA) were exposed to a combination of low-dose VRL and alpelisib for 3 and 7 days. Cell viability was detected by the Alamar blue assay, and cell proliferation was determined by the BrdU incorporation. The effect of the substances on the p110α protein expression that is encoded by PIK3CA gene was investigated by Western blot. Low-dose VRL plus alpelisib showed synergistic anti-tumor effects and significantly inhibited cell viability and proliferation of MCF-7 and T-47D cells. Even lower alpelisib concentrations (10 ng/ml and 100 ng/ml) combined with low-dose metronomic VRL led to a significant reduction of cell viability of PIK3CA-mutated cells, and the anti-tumor activity was comparable with the effects at 1000 ng/ml alpelisib. Cell viability and proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and BT-549 cells were inhibited by VRL but not by alpelisib alone. This indicates that alpelisib did not significantly affect the cell growth of triple-negative, PIK3CA wild-type BC cells. The p110α expression was downregulated or not affected in PIK3CA-mutated cell lines, and not significantly upregulated in PIK3CA wild-type cell lines. In conclusion, combination of low-dose metronomic VRL and alpelisib showed synergistic anti-tumor effects and significantly inhibited the growth of HR-positive, HER2-negative, PIK3CA-mutated BC cells, providing a rationale for further efforts to evaluate this combination in vivo.

description: Efficient processing of aggregated range queries on two-dimensional grids is a common requirement in information retrieval and data mining systems, for example in Geographic Information Systems and OLAP cubes. We introduce a technique to represent grids supporting aggregated range queries that requires little space when the data points in the grid are clustered, which is common in practice. We show how this general technique can be used to support two important types of aggregated queries, which are ranked range queries and counting range queries. Our experimental evaluation shows that this technique can speed up aggregated queries up to more than an order of magnitude, with a small space overhead.

description: We investigate the nonlocal gravity theory by deriving nonlocal equations of motion using the traditional variation principle in a homogeneous background. We focus on a class of models with a linear nonlocal modification term in the action. It is found that the resulting equations of motion contain the advanced Green's function, implying that there is an acausality problem. As a consequence, a divergence arises in the solutions due to contributions from the future infinity unless the Universe will go back to the radiation dominated era or become the Minkowski spacetime in the future. We also discuss the relation between the original nonlocal equations and its biscalar-tensor representation and identify the auxiliary fields with the corresponding original nonlocal terms. Finally, we show that the acusality problem cannot be avoided by any function of nonlocal terms in the action.

description: There is chiral like symmetry for 4-component massless fermion in (2+1)-dimensional gauge theory.Since QED$_{3}$ with Chern-Simons term contains vortex solution for vector potential,one may expect vortex driven phase transition as Kosterlitz-Thouless type where chiral condensate is washed away at zero temperature.To study this possibility,we evaluate the fermion propagator by Dyson-Schwinger equation numerically and spectral function analytically in the Landau gauge.For quenched case we adopt Ball-Chiu vertex to keep gauge invariance of the results.The critical value of topological mass,above which chiral condensate washed away, turned out to be $O(10^{-2})e^{2}$ at least for weak coupling in both cases.

description: Influential users play an important role in online social networks since users tend to have an impact on one other. Therefore, the proposed work analyzes users and their behavior in order to identify influential users and predict user participation. Normally, the success of a social media site is dependent on the activity level of the participating users. For both online social networking sites and individual users, it is of interest to find out if a topic will be interesting or not. In this article, we propose association learning to detect relationships between users. In order to verify the findings, several experiments were executed based on social network analysis, in which the most influential users identified from association rule learning were compared to the results from Degree Centrality and Page Rank Centrality. The results clearly indicate that it is possible to identify the most influential users using association rule learning. In addition, the results also indicate a lower execution time compared to state-of-the-art methods.

description: Research efforts ranging from studies of solid helium to searches for a neutron electric dipole moment require isotopically purified helium with a ratio of 3He to 4He at levels below that which can be measured using traditional mass spectroscopy techniques. We demonstrate an approach to such a measurement using accelerator mass spectroscopy, reaching the 10e-14 level of sensitivity, several orders of magnitude more sensitive than other techniques. Measurements of 3He/4He in samples relevant to the measurement of the neutron lifetime indicate the need for substantial corrections. We also argue that there is a clear path forward to sensitivity increases of at least another order of magnitude.

description: Obscuring circumnuclear dust is a well-established constituent of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Traditionally referred to as the receding dusty torus, its inner radius and angular extension should depend on the photo-ionizing luminosity of the central source. Using a Monte Carlo approach, we simulate the radiative transfer between the multiple components of an AGN adopting model constraints from the bright Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151. We compare our model results to the observed near-IR to UV polarization of the source and predict its X-ray polarization. We find that the 2-8 keV polarization fraction of a standard AGN model varies from less then a few percent along polar viewing angles up to tens of percent at equatorial inclinations. At viewing angles around the type-1/type-2 transition the X-ray polarization variability differs between a static or a receding torus scenario. In the former case, the expected 2-8 keV polarization of NGC 4151 is found to be 1.21% +/- 0.34% with a constant polarization position angle, while in the later scenario it varies from 0.1% to 6% depending on the photon index of the primary radiation. Additionally, an orthogonal rotation of the polarization position angle with photon energy appears for very soft primary spectra. Future X-ray polarimetry missions will be able to test if the receding model is valid for Seyfert galaxies seen at a viewing angle close to the torus horizon. The overall stability of the polarization position angle for photon indexes softer than Γ = 1.5 ensures that reliable measurements of X-ray polarization are possible. We derive a long-term observational strategy for NGC 4151 assuming observations with a small to medium-size X-ray polarimetry satellite.

description: The risk of lung cancer from radon exposure was small compared to tobacco smoking (BEIR VI), but the relationship between these two carcinogenic agents has yet to be quantitatively estimated. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the last evidences on the role of radon occupational exposures and tobacco smoke on lung cancer risk. Thirteen articles were selected using two different databases, PubMed and Scifinder, and were limited to those published from 2010 to 2021. The reference list of selected studies was reviewed to identify other relevant papers. Seven papers included in this systematic review did not deal with the multiplicative or the additive type of interaction between radon exposure and smoking habit. Six papers discussed the nature of this interaction with a prevalence of the sub-multiplicative model compared to the additive one. Altogether, smoking adjustment did not significantly change lung cancer risk. The included studies might constitute a starting point for updating the models for risk assessment in occupational and residential scenarios, promoting concomitantly the exposure reduction to radon and other cofactors, as recently introduced by Italian Legislative Decree number 101 of 31 July 2020, an application of Euratom Directive 59/2013. This paper offers an updated overview on lung cancer risk due to occupational exposure to radon together with tobacco smoking habits. It evidences the quantitative role of smoking on radon exposure and discusses their interaction. The results show that smoking adjustments do not significantly modify lung cancer risk at both high and low radon concentrations.

description: De nombreux bâtiments ont des toits en pente. Depuis quelques années, les toitures inclinées en verre et en métal sont devenues courantes pour les grands bâtiments urbains. Le calcul de ces toitures, même pour une inclinaison aussi faible que 10°, requiert une double attention: les toitures doivent pouvoir supporter les surcharges de neige importantes1,2,3 et tenir compte du risque que la neige glisse et se détache du toit, créant des conditions dangereuses pour les passants, les véhicules, d'autres toits ainsi que pour les installations mécaniques et électriques.

description: The Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis implies that for a thermodynamically large system in one of its eigenstates, the reduced density matrix describing any finite subsystem is determined solely by a set of {\it relevant} conserved quantities. In a generic system, only the energy plays that role and hence eigenstates appear locally thermal. Integrable systems, on the other hand, possess an extensive number of such conserved quantities and hence the reduced density matrix requires specification of an infinite number of parameters (Generalized Gibbs Ensemble). However, here we show by unbiased statistical sampling of the individual eigenstates with a given finite energy density, that the local description of an overwhelming majority of these states of even such an integrable system is actually Gibbs-like, i.e. requires only the energy density of the eigenstate. Rare eigenstates that cannot be represented by the Gibbs ensemble can also be sampled efficiently by our method and their local properties are then shown to be described by appropriately {\it truncated} Generalized Gibbs Ensembles. We further show that the presence of these rare eigenstates differentiates the model from the generic (non-integrable) case and leads to the system being described by a Generalized Gibbs Ensemble at long time under a unitary dynamics following a sudden quench, even when the initial state is a Gibbs-like eigenstate of the pre-quench Hamiltonian.

description: La thermographie infrarouge est une technique qui permet de transformer le rayonnement infrarouge en images visibles. Dans le cas de l'entretien des bâtiments, elle sert principalement à identifier les zones de pertes de chaleur par suite de défauts de conception ou de construction. Dans les bâtiments à valeur historique, elle sert également à évaluer l'intégrité de la maçonnerie. Le présent Digeste constitue une introduction sommaire à la théorie de l'infrarouge et à son application à l'examen des bâtiments; il décrit certains des défauts susceptibles d'être révélés par une étude thermographique.
