description: We present a perturbative derivation of the T-system that is believed to encode the exact spectrum of planar N=4 SYM. The T-system is understood as an operator identity between some special line operators, the quantum transfer matrices. By computing the quantum corrections in the process of fusion of transfer matrices, we show that the T-system holds up to first order in a semi-classical expansion. This derivation does not rely on any assumption. We also discuss the extension of the proof to other theories, including models describing string theory on various AdS spaces.

description: The study examined the potential future changes of drought characteristics in the Greater Lake Malawi Basin in Southeast Africa. This region strongly depends on water resources to generate electricity and food. Future projections (considering both moderate and high emission scenarios) of temperature and precipitation from an ensemble of 16 bias-corrected climate model combinations were blended with a scenario-neutral response surface approach to analyses changes in: (i) the meteorological conditions, (ii) the meteorological water balance, and (iii) selected drought characteristics such as drought intensity, drought months, and drought events, which were derived from the Standardized Precipitation and Evapotranspiration Index. Changes were analyzed for a near-term (2021–2050) and far-term period (2071–2100) with reference to 1976–2005. The effect of bias-correction (i.e., empirical quantile mapping) on the ability of the climate model ensemble to reproduce observed drought characteristics as compared to raw climate projections was also investigated. Results suggest that the bias-correction improves the climate models in terms of reproducing temperature and precipitation statistics but not drought characteristics. Still, despite the differences in the internal structures and uncertainties that exist among the climate models, they all agree on an increase of meteorological droughts in the future in terms of higher drought intensity and longer events. Drought intensity is projected to increase between +25 and +50% during 2021–2050 and between +131 and +388% during 2071–2100. This translates into +3 to +5, and +7 to +8 more drought months per year during both periods, respectively. With longer lasting drought events, the number of drought events decreases. Projected droughts based on the high emission scenario are 1.7 times more severe than droughts based on the moderate scenario. That means that droughts in this region will likely become more severe in the coming decades. Despite the inherent high uncertainties of climate projections, the results provide a basis in planning and (water-)managing activities for climate change adaptation measures in Malawi. This is of particular relevance for water management issues referring hydro power generation and food production, both for rain-fed and irrigated agriculture.

description: Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been demonstrated to be versatile candidates to study the fundamentals of light-matter interaction [1-3]. In contrast with atom optics, dissipative processes are induced by the inherent coupling to the environment and are typically perceived as a major obstacle towards stable performances in experiments and applications [4]. In this paper we show that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, the memory of the environment can enhance coherent quantum optical effects. In particular, we demonstrate that the non-Markovian coupling to an incoherent phonon bath has a stabilizing effect on the coherent QD cavity-quantum electrodynamics (cQED) by inhibiting irregular oscillations and boosting regular collapse and revival patterns. For low photon numbers we predict QD dynamics that deviate dramatically from the well-known atomic Jaynes-Cummings model. Our proposal opens the way to a systematic and deliberate design of photon quantum effects via specifically engineered solid-state environments.

description: The global transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is transforming how businesses report financial data, leading to increased transparency, comparability, and credibility in global markets. This study delves into the process of converting financial statements to IFRS, emphasizing the quantitative and qualitative impacts on companies' performance, regulatory compliance, and investor relations. By analyzing financial data from various regions and sectors, this paper identifies both the benefits and challenges of IFRS adoption, while offering a forecast of future trends in global financial reporting. The results demonstrate that while IFRS enhances transparency, its implementation brings substantial costs and operational challenges, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

description: The demands of cutting-edge science are driving the need for larger and faster computing resources. With the rapidly growing scale of computing systems and the prospect of technologically disruptive architectures to meet these needs, scientists face the challenge of effectively using complex computational resources to advance scientific discovery. Multidisciplinary collaborating networks of researchers with diverse scientific backgrounds are needed to address these complex challenges. The UNEDF SciDAC collaboration of nuclear theorists, applied mathematicians, and computer scientists is developing a comprehensive description of nuclei and their reactions that delivers maximum predictive power with quantified uncertainties. This paper describes UNEDF and identifies attributes that classify it as a successful computational collaboration. We illustrate significant milestones accomplished by UNEDF through integrative solutions using the most reliable theoretical approaches, most advanced algorithms, and leadership-class computational resources.

description: The GoTriple platform will help social sciences and humanities (SSH) research in Europe to gain visibility. The collaborative tool enables researchers to discover and reuse SSH data across disciplinary and language boundaries, and also find other researchers and projects. GoTriple provides all the necessary means to build interdisciplinary projects and develop large-scale scientific missions. It will thus increase the economic and societal impacts of SSH resources. GoTriple will be a dedicated service of the OPERAS Research Infrastructure with potential to become a strong service in the EOSC marketplace. The European Commission has funded the TRIPLE project under the Horizon 2020 framework with approx. 5.6 million Euros for a duration of 42 months, starting in 2019 and finishing in March 2023. This final version of Deliverable 3.6 follows an interim version that was submitted by Month 30 of the project (March 2022). The deliverable details the key aspects of the methodology for the GoTriple platform evaluation with the users and reports on some of the most important results of this work. The goal of the evaluation work was to improve the usability of the platform ahead of its final release at the end of the project. The work conducted for this purpose included several Think-Aloud tests done remotely with users, two questionnaires (one done in the early phase of the platform release, and a final satisfaction questionnaire) and a quantitative evaluation with metrics and funnels, conducted with analytics tools. The methods selected were used to ensure that the GoTriple platform could meet the end-user needs, in terms of usability. This work has allowed the project consortium to make several improvements to the user interface and to establish as well a permanent evaluation tool for after the funding period (the user satisfaction questionnaire). In summary, this deliverable shares the key results of the evaluation work for both the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of usability as well as the work done for the creation of a lasting solution for measuring user satisfaction, beyond the funding period. This is the last and final deliverable of the TRIPLE project Work Package 3 “Co-Design and User Research”.

Delay-aware BS Discontinuous Transmission Control and User Scheduling for Energy Harvesting Downlink Coordinated MIMO Systems

description: In this paper, we propose a two-timescale delay-optimal base station Discontinuous Transmission (BS-DTX) control and user scheduling for downlink coordinated MIMO systems with energy harvesting capability. To reduce the complexity and signaling overhead in practical systems, the BS-DTX control is adaptive to both the energy state information (ESI) and the data queue state information (QSI) over a longer timescale. The user scheduling is adaptive to the ESI, the QSI and the channel state information (CSI) over a shorter timescale. We show that the two-timescale delay-optimal control problem can be modeled as an infinite horizon average cost Partially Observed Markov Decision Problem (POMDP), which is well-known to be a difficult problem in general. By using sample-path analysis and exploiting specific problem structure, we first obtain some structural results on the optimal control policy and derive an equivalent Bellman equation with reduced state space. To reduce the complexity and facilitate distributed implementation, we obtain a delay-aware distributed solution with the BS-DTX control at the BS controller (BSC) and the user scheduling at each cluster manager (CM) using approximate dynamic programming and distributed stochastic learning. We show that the proposed distributed two-timescale algorithm converges almost surely. Furthermore, using queueing theory, stochastic geometry and optimization techniques, we derive sufficient conditions for the data queues to be stable in the coordinated MIMO network and discuss various design insights.

We demonstrate that the magnetic excitation persists in disordered arrays and results in the formation of "magnetic hot-spots".
Comparison of synthetic maps from truncated jet-formation models with YSO jet observations. II. The effect of varying inclinations

description: Analytical radially self-similar models are the best available solutions describing disk-winds but need several improvements. In a previous article, we introduced models of jets from truncated disks, i.e. evolved in time numerical simulations based on a radially self-similar MHD solution but including the effects of a finite radius of the jet-emitting disk and thus the outflow. In paper I of this series, we compared these models with available observational data varying the jet density and velocity, the mass of the protostar and the radius of the aforementioned truncation. In paper I, we assumed that the jet lies in the plane of the sky. In this paper, we investigate the effect of different inclinations of the jet. In order to compare our models with observed jet widths inferred from recent optical images taken with HST and AO, we create again emission maps in different forbidden lines and from such emission maps, we determine the jet width as the full-width half-maximum of the emission. We can reproduce the jet width of DG Tau and its variations very well and the derived inclination of 40$^\circ$ is in excellent agreement with literature values of 32--52$^\circ$. In CW Tau we overestimate the inclination in our best-fit model. In the other objects, we cannot find appropriate models which reproduce the variations of the observed jet widths, only the average jet width itself is well modeled as in paper I. We conclude that truncation -- i.e. taking into account the finite radius of the jet launching region -- is necessary to reproduce the observed jet widths and our simulations limit the possible range of truncation radii. The effects of inclination are important for modeling the intrinsic variations seen in observed jet widths. Our models can be used to infer independently the inclinations in the observed sample, however, a parameter study with a finer grid of parameters is needed.

description: We use numerical simulations to analyze recent experimental measurements of short-channel carbon nanotube field-effect transistors with palladium contacts. We show that the gate strongly modulates the contact properties, an effect that is distinct from that observed in Schottky barrier carbon nanotube transistors. This modulation of the contacts by the gate allows for the realization of superior subthreshold swings for short channels, and improved scaling behavior. These results further elucidate the behavior of carbon nanotube-metal contacts, and should be useful in the optimization of high-performance carbon nanotube electronics.

description: The class of multivariate Lévy-driven autoregressive moving average (MCARMA) processes, the continuous-time analogs of the classical vector ARMA processes, is shown to be equivalent to the class of continuous-time state space models. The linear innovations of the weak ARMA process arising from sampling an MCARMA process at an equidistant grid are proved to be exponentially completely regular ($β$-mixing) under a mild continuity assumption on the driving Lévy process. It is verified that this continuity assumption is satisfied in most practically relevant situations, including the case where the driving Lévy process has a non-singular Gaussian component, is compound Poisson with an absolutely continuous jump size distribution or has an infinite Lévy measure admitting a density around zero.

description: Silicon-based terahertz quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) offer potential advantages over existing III-V devices. Although coherent electron transport effects are known to be important in QCLs, they have never been considered in Si-based device designs. We describe a density matrix transport model that is designed to be more general than those in previous studies and to require less a priori knowlege of electronic bandstructure, allowing its use in semi-automated design procedures. The basis of the model includes all states involved in interperiod transport, and our steady-state solution extends beyond the rotating-wave approximation by including DC and counter-propagating terms. We simulate the potential performance of bound-to-continuum Ge/SiGe QCLs and find that devices with 4-5-nm-thick barriers give the highest simulated optical gain. We also examine the effects of interdiffusion between Ge and SiGe layers; we show that if it is taken into account in the design, interdiffusion lengths of up to 1.5 nm do not significantly affect the simulated device performance.

description: We apply the reconstruction technique to the clustering of galaxies from the SDSS DR7 LRG sample, sharpening the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature and achieving a 1.9% measurement of the distance to z=0.35. This is the first application of reconstruction of the BAO feature in a galaxy redshift survey. We update the reconstruction algorithm of Eisenstein et al, 2007 to account for the effects of survey geometry as well as redshift-space distortions and validate it on 160 LasDamas simulations. We demonstrate that reconstruction sharpens the BAO feature in the angle averaged galaxy correlation function, reducing the nonlinear smoothing scale Σ_nl from 8.1 Mpc/h to 4.4 Mpc/h. Reconstruction also significantly reduces the effects of redshift-space distortions at the BAO scale, isotropizing the correlation function. This sharpened BAO feature yields an unbiased distance estimate (< 0.2%) and reduces the scatter from 3.3% to 2.1%. We demonstrate the robustness of these results to the various reconstruction parameters, including the smoothing scale, the galaxy bias and the linear growth rate. Applying this reconstruction algorithm to the SDSS LRG DR7 sample improves the significance of the BAO feature in these data from 3.3 sigma for the unreconstructed correlation function, to 4.2 sigma after reconstruction. We estimate a relative distance scale D_V/r_s to z=0.35 of 8.88+/-0.17, where r_s is the sound horizon and D_V = (D_A^2/H)^{1/3} is a combination of the angular diameter distance D_A and Hubble parameter H. Assuming a sound horizon of 154.25 Mpc, this translates into a distance measurement D_V (z=0.35) = 1.356+/-0.025 Gpc. We find that reconstruction reduces the distance error in the DR7 sample from 3.5% to 1.9%, equivalent to a survey with three times the volume of SDSS.

Exploring the nature of orbits in a galactic model with a massive nucleus

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the present article, we use an axially symmetric galactic gravitational model with a disk-halo and a spherical nucleus, in order to investigate the transition from regular to chaotic motion for stars moving in the meridian (r,z) plane. We study in detail the transition from regular to chaotic motion, in two different cases: the time independent model and the time evolving model. In the time dependent model, we follow the evolution of orbits as the galaxy develops a dense and massive nucleus in its core, as mass is transported exponentially from the disk to the galactic center. In addition, we construct some numerical diagrams in which we present the correlations between the main parameters of our galactic model. Our numerical calculations indicate, that stars with values of angular momentum Lz less than or equal to a critical value Lzc, moving near to the galactic plane, are scattered to the halo upon encountering the nuclear region and subsequently display chaotic motion. A linear relationship exists between the critical value of the angular momentum Lzc and the mass of the nucleus Mn. Furthermore, the extent of the chaotic region increases as the value of the mass of the nucleus increases. Moreover, our simulations indicate that the degree of chaos increases linearly, as the mass of the nucleus increases. These results strongly indicate that the ordered or chaotic nature of orbits, depends on the presence of massive objects in the galactic cores of the galaxies. Our results suggest, that for disk galaxies with massive and prominent nuclei, the low angular momentum stars in the associated central regions of the galaxy, must be in predominantly chaotic orbits. Some theoretical arguments to support the numerically derived outcomes are presented. Comparison with similar previous works is also made.

description: Using high resolution Chandra data, we report the presence of a weak X-ray point source coincident with the nucleus of NGC 4178, a late-type bulgeless disk galaxy known to have high ionization mid-infrared (mid-IR) lines typically associated with active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Although the faintness of this source precludes a direct spectral analysis, we are able to infer its basic spectral properties using hardness ratios. X-ray modeling, combined with the nuclear mid-IR characteristics, suggests that NGC 4178 may host a highly absorbed AGN accreting at a high rate with a bolometric luminosity on order of 10^43 ergs/s. The black hole mass estimate, based on our Chandra data and archival VLA data using the most recent fundamental plane relations is \sim 10^4 - 10^5 M\odot, possibly the lowest mass nuclear black hole currently known. There are also three off-nuclear sources, two with a similar brightness to the nuclear source at 36" and 32" from the center. As with the nuclear source, hardness ratios are used to estimate spectra for these two sources, and both are consistent with a simple power- law model with absorption. These two sources have X-ray luminosities of the order of \sim 10^38 ergs/s, which place them at the threshold between X-ray binaries and ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs). The third off-nuclear source, located 49" from the center, is the brightest source detected, with an X-ray luminosity of \sim 10^40 ergs/s. Its spectrum is well-fit with an absorbed power law model, suggesting that it is a ULX. We also fit its spectrum with the Bulk Motion Comptonization (BMC) model and suggest that this source is consistent with an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) of mass (6\times2)\times10^3 M\odot.

description: This paper investigates the cross-correlations across multiple climate model errors. We build a Bayesian hierarchical model that accounts for the spatial dependence of individual models as well as cross-covariances across different climate models. Our method allows for a nonseparable and nonstationary cross-covariance structure. We also present a covariance approximation approach to facilitate the computation in the modeling and analysis of very large multivariate spatial data sets. The covariance approximation consists of two parts: a reduced-rank part to capture the large-scale spatial dependence, and a sparse covariance matrix to correct the small-scale dependence error induced by the reduced rank approximation. We pay special attention to the case that the second part of the approximation has a block-diagonal structure. Simulation results of model fitting and prediction show substantial improvement of the proposed approximation over the predictive process approximation and the independent blocks analysis. We then apply our computational approach to the joint statistical modeling of multiple climate model errors.

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses X. Modeling based on high-precision astrometry of a sample of 25 lensed quasars: consequences for ellipticity, shear, and astrometric anomalies

description: (abridged) Gravitationally lensed quasars can be used as powerful cosmological and astrophysical probes. We can (i) infer the Hubble constant based on the time-delay technique, (ii) unveil substructures along the l.o.s. toward distant galaxies, and (iii) compare the shape and the slope of baryons and dark matter distributions in galaxies. To reach these goals, we need high-accuracy astrometry and morphology measurements of the lens. In this work, we first present new astrometry for 11 lenses with measured time delays. Using MCS deconvolution on NIC2 HST images, we reached an astrometric accuracy of about 1-2.5 mas and an accurate shape measurement of the lens galaxy. Second, we combined these measurements with those of 14 other systems to present new mass models of these lenses. This led to the following results: 1) In 4 double-image quasars, we show that the influence of the lens environment on the time delay can easily be quantified and modeled, hence putting these lenses with high priority for time-delay determination. 2) For quadruple-image quasars, the difficulty often encountered in reproducing the image positions to milli-arcsec accuracy (astrometric anomaly) is overcome by explicitly including the nearest visible galaxy in the model. However, one anomalous system (J1131-1231) does not show any luminous perturber in its vicinity, and three others (WFI2026-4536, WFI2033-4723, and B2045+265) have problematic modeling. These 4 systems are the best candidates for a pertubation by a dark matter substructure. 3) We find a significant correlation between the PA of the light and of the mass distributions in lensing galaxies. In contrast with other studies, we find that the ellipticity of the light and of the mass also correlate well, suggesting that the overall spatial distribution of matter is not very different from the baryon distribution in the inner \sim 5 kpc of lensing galaxies.

description: In diesem Artikel werden staatliche Institutionen, die den politischen Auftrag zur Normierung und geregelten Standardisierung einer Nationalsprache innehaben, ebenso in Augenschein genommen wie Vereinigungen (z. B. Sprachgesellschaften, Sprach- bzw. Kulturvereine), die sich ohne staatlichen Auftrag diesen Zielen widmen. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden die in Italien, Frankreich und Kroatien lange Zeit normprägenden und sehr prestigeträchtigen Sprachakademien mit den sprachpolitisch ambitionierten Aktivitäten der Länder verglichen, in denen eine solche Institution nicht vorhanden ist. Allen Institutionen und Vereinigungen ist unabhängig von ihrer staatlichen oder gesellschaftlichen Rückbindung gemeinsam, sich – was die Selbstzuschreibung betrifft – sprachkultivierend in die jeweilige Gesellschaft einbringen zu wollen.

description: Per il tedesco non esiste un’istituzione statale che sia incaricata di occuparsi della legittimazione delle norme linguistiche e in particolare della standardizzazione della lingua nazionale, fatta eccezione per il Consiglio per l’ortografia tedesca (ted.: Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung). Tenuto conto di questi aspetti, nell’articolo vengono presentate le diverse istituzioni linguistiche non statali del tedesco. Anche se nell’area linguistica germanofona le accademie linguistiche dei paesi vicini hanno rappresentato un modello, tuttavia si sono formate soprattutto società e associazioni linguistiche, impegnate nella cura della lingua.

Year: 2019

description: Research on complex problem solving (CPS) has reached a stage where certain standards have been achieved, whereas the future development is quite ambiguous. In this situation, the editors of the Journal of Dynamic Decision Making asked a number of representative authors to share their point of view with respect to seven questions about the relevance of (complex) problem solving as a research area, about the contribution of laboratory-based CPS research to solving real life problems, about the roles of knowledge, strategies, and intuition in CPS, and about the existence of expertise in CPS.

description: In this keynote talk, in the "Future Prospects of Open Science in the Arab World" which was held in Kuwait by Open Arab University, we explore the evolving landscape of open science in the region, highlighting the significant strides and potential challenges ahead. A key focus will be on the Open Science Community Saudi Arabia (OSCSA), a grassroots initiative that exemplifies the region's commitment to open science principles. OSCSA is fostering a culture of transparency, collaboration, and accessibility in scientific research within Saudi Arabia. The talk explore how OSCSA serves as a model for open science practices, including its efforts in promoting  data sharing in accordance with FAIR principles, and engaging a wide range of stakeholders from academia, industry, and government. By examining the successes and learning experiences of OSCSA, this presentation aims to provide insights into how the Arab world can continue to advance in the field of open science, setting a precedent for global scientific collaboration and progress.

description: In this paper a novel approach for de noising images corrupted by random valued impulses has been proposed. Noise suppression is done in two steps. The detection of noisy pixels is done using all neighbor directional weighted pixels (ANDWP) in the 5 x 5 window. The filtering scheme is based on minimum variance of the four directional pixels. In this approach, relatively recent category of stochastic global optimization technique i.e., particle swarm optimization (PSO) has also been used for searching the parameters of detection and filtering operators required for optimal performance. Results obtained shows better de noising and preservation of fine details for highly corrupted images.
