title: The Plays of Sean O'Casey 1919-1964: Innovation, History and Form
Creators: name: Paull, Michelle C.
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2006

description: This thesis provides a radical re-reading of O'Casey's early work, which sheds new light upon the later plays. The orthodox reading of the so called 'Dublin Plays' - The Shadow of a Gunman (1923), Juno and the Paycock (1924) and The Plough and the Stars (1926) - as a triumph in theatrical naturalism that is never matched in the later plays, is here strongly countered. The thesis seeks to demonstrate that far from being dramatic failures, the later plays are fresh and dynamic, a logical and natural progression from the formal and thematic experiments within the early plays. The thesis argues that it is the critical labelling of O'Casey's first plays as 'comedies' or 'realist dramas', which has led to the prevailing view of the last plays as theatrically flawed. This distorting critical prism has resulted in an underplaying of O'Casey's significant contribution to theatrical innovation in the first half of the twentieth century. O'Casey's work has received comparatively little recent critical attention, particularly from British academics. This is clearly no academic accident: O'Casey's marginalisation by scholars is directly linked to the way theatre critics misinterpreted his plays from 1924 onwards, when they received their first performances at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. This study considers the complex dynamics of national and theatre politics that underpin these critical misunderstandings and explores why O'Casey has often been dismissed as a dramatist of character. Discussing plays from The Harvest Festival to The Moon Shines on Kylenamoe, I explore why each play becomes more experimental in form and analyse why O'Casey's critics and public alike gradually become alienated from what they perceive as the new experimental style of his later work. Chapter 1 considers O'Casey's early plays with special reference to the use of space in The Shadow of Gunman. In chapter 2 I examine the use of repetition as a controlling dramatic technique in Juno and the Paycock, chapter 3 explores the re-writing of history as drama through O'Casey's re-dramatisation the Easter Rising in The Plough and the Stars, chapter 4 focuses on O'Casey's engagement with European, especially German, Expressionism in The Silver Tassie; and his experimentation with what we now label 'Absurdist' techniques, as well as dance and song in Within the Gates which provides the subject for chapter 5. The later plays are discussed in chapter 6, where their formal and thematic innovations are considered in relation to the contemporary developments in the cinema and Absurdist drama.

description: Purpose: This scoping review aimed to map the literature on the effects of interventions involving speech output technologies on communication outcomes for individuals with developmental disabilities other than autism spectrum disorder. Method: A scoping review methodology was used to limit bias in searching, selecting, coding, and synthesizing relevant intervention studies. This involved a multifaceted search for studies conducted between 1991 and March 2021 using various electronic databases, ancestry searches, and forward citation searches from selected articles. Studies had to meet stringent inclusion criteria. Each study was summarized in terms of authors, purpose, participants, design, speech output, outcomes, effectiveness, and quality appraisal. Results: Twenty-five single-case experimental design studies (88 participants) and one group design studies (62 participants) qualified for inclusion. Most of the participants had multiple diagnoses followed by a diagnosis of cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. Most studies focused on requesting behaviors and to a much lesser extent on syntactic structure and word identification. A dearth of high-quality studies was identified. Conclusions: Overall, there is a paucity of high-quality research investigating the effects of speech output technologies for children with developmental disabilities. Additionally, several directions for future research are posited.

description: Ontologies are systems in which a formal common vocabulary is defined with a specification of their meaning. For example, SNOMED CT defines the structured clinical vocabulary for use in Electronic Health Records (EHR) in the NHS. Ontologies provide a system with which data providers can homogenise their data and improve interoperability between multiple bodies. The usual format of an ontology is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and each term beneath its parent acts as a subsumer of the term above. However, a common flaw with ontologies is that the contents of these ontologies can be vast, with SNOMED CT having more than 311,000 active concepts. Also, as they are being actively developed the contents and order can change significantly between each release, including the status of “deprecated” or “preferred” terms. Furthermore, difficulties in curating such large ontologies can lead to many similar terms being present.
To help navigate these growing systems, centralised terminology servers are used to alleviate development time and act as the warehouse of the up to date ontology. The focus of such bodies is primarily for ontology traversal and prefix matching of query strings provided by the user. However, their inability to process any other kind of user search strategy ensures that one must know what a term starts with to guarantee a hit. This can be a problem for users not experienced with a given ontology as they may not know the exact nomenclature utilised within this ontology. Similarly, if a user performs a partial term search, such as “cancer”, they will not find the terms they were searching for.
For this reason, an AutoComplete Web-API was developed which accomodates multiple search strategies and ranks them within a single query. Individual words in the query string can be written in any order and still locate the term in question. However, query strings which match the order listed are assigned a higher score than those which are matched out of order. Another feature is that queries which return results as prefix are assigned a higher score, though results which search in an infix (matching the query string anywhere in the term) manner will still return results. This allows for a query string “globulin” to locate “Immunoglobulin E”. Whilst terms which are classed as preferred and non-deprecated will be assigned a higher score in the results, highly specific query strings will still locate terms a researcher might be more used to – Even if it now has changed from being the preferred term. Whilst accuracy is the top priority, fast response times are just as key as a non-responsive system is a sure-fire way for a user to lose interest or to search for alternatives. The average response time was calculated to be 76.87 10-3 seconds (n=1000). Whilst this system currently only supports SNOMED CT, ORPHA and HPO, new ontologies can be integrated following user demand.

description: Molecular dynamics is a powerful method for studying the behaviour of materials at high temperature. In practice, however, its effectiveness in representing real systems is limited by the accuracy of the forces, finite size effects, quantization, and equilibration methods. In this paper we report and discuss some calculations carried out using molecular dynamics on high pressure hydrogen, reviewing a number of sources of error. We find that the neglect of zero-point vibrations is quantitively the largest. We show that simulations using ab initio molecular dynamics with the PBE functional predict a large stability field for the molecular Cmca-4 structure at pressures just above those achieved in current experiments above the stability range of the mixed- molecular layered Phase IV. However, the various errors in the simulation all point towards a much smaller stability range, and the likelihood of a non-molecular phase based on low-coordination networks or chains of atoms.

description: Integrated information theory (IIT) starts from consciousness itself and identifies a set of properties (axioms) that are true of every conceivable experience. The axioms are translated into a set of postulates about the substrate of consciousness (called a complex), which are then used to formulate a mathematical framework for assessing both the quality and quantity of experience. The explanatory identity proposed by IIT is that an experience is identical to the cause-effect structure unfolded from a maximally irreducible substrate (a $Φ$-structure). In this work we introduce a definition for the integrated information of a system ($φ_s$) that is based on the existence, intrinsicality, information, and integration postulates of IIT. We explore how notions of determinism, degeneracy, and fault lines in the connectivity impact system integrated information. We then demonstrate how the proposed measure identifies complexes as systems whose $φ_s$ is greater than the $φ_s$ of any overlapping candidate systems.

description: We consider variational and stability properties of a system of two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations on the star graph $Γ$ with the $δ$ coupling at the vertex of $Γ$. The first part is devoted to the proof of an existence of the ground state as the minimizer of the constrained energy in the cubic case. This result extends the one obtained recently for the coupled NLS equations on the line. In the second part, we study stability properties of several families of standing waves in the case of a general power nonlinearity. In particular, we study one-component standing waves $e^{iωt}(Φ_1(x), 0)$ and $e^{iωt}(0, Φ_2(x))$. Moreover, we study two-component standing waves $e^{iωt}(Φ(x), Φ(x))$ for the case of power nonlinearity depending on a unique power parameter $p$. To our knowledge, these are the first results on variational and stability properties of coupled NLS equations on graphs.

description: ELIXIR Germany (ELIXIR-DE) is the German National Node of ELIXIR Europe. By signing the ELIXIR Collaboration Agreement on 10 February 2020, the national node ELIXIR Germany is fully established. ELIXIR Germany is coordinated from Bielefeld University and is funded by the German government. The Administration Office of ELIXIR Germany is the central support entity for the German ELIXIR Node and for the Central Coordination Unit (CCU).

ELIXIR Germany actively participates in the research activities of the ELIXIR platform, i. e. Data, Training, Compute, Interoperability, and Tools Platform. A remarkable contribution is highlighted by the involvement of the two databases, SILVA and BRENDA, in ELIXIR Data Platform as ELIXIR Core Data Resources. Within the Compute Platform, the Cloud of the German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI) has built connections to the European cloud infrastructures through its involvement in the EOSC-Life project and the adaptation of ELIXIR´s Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (AAI) system.

The members of ELIXIR Germany also make a decisive contribution in the current situation in COVID-19 research. The corona pandemic is a major challenge for our society and therefore requires special attention by the established scientific structures. It is important to advance molecular biological research of coronaviruses, especially of SARS-CoV-2, and to investigate both medical and epidemiological aspects of the infection process in COVID-19. These research areas generate large amounts of data requiring intensive bioinformatics analysis. Here, ELIXIR Germany provides a wide collection of analysis programs and the compute capacities of the network's own de.NBI cloud. For example, the GALAXY project provides workflows to analyze genomics, evolution and cheminformatics data related to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2. Both, analysis programs and compute capacities can be used free of charge by researchers in the life sciences.

Overall, ELIXIR-DE channels efforts into the three pillars of ELIXIR´s COVID-19 response: 1. Connecting national COVID-19 data platforms to create federated European COVID-19 Data Spaces; 2. Fostering good data management to make COVID-19 data open, FAIR and reusable over the long term; 3. Providing open tools, workflows and computational resources to drive reproducible and collaborative science. Moreover, ELIXIR-DE reports all on-going and emerging community and national responses to the COVID-19 outbreak to ELIXIR Europe.

description: We study the critical behavior and the ground-state entanglement of a large class of $\mathrm{su}(1|1)$ supersymmetric spin chains with a general (not necessarily monotonic) dispersion relation. We show that this class includes several relevant models, with both short- and long-range interactions of a simple form. We determine the low temperature behavior of the free energy per spin, and deduce that the models considered have a critical phase in the universality class of a $(1+1)$-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT), whose central charge coincides with the number of connected components of the Fermi sea. We also study the Rényi entanglement entropy of the ground state, deriving its asymptotic behavior as the block size tends to infinity. In particular, we show that this entropy exhibits the logarithmic growth characteristic of $(1+1)$-dimensional CFTs and one-dimensional (fermionic) critical lattice models, with a central charge consistent with the low-temperature behavior of the free energy. Our results confirm the widely believed conjecture that the critical behavior of fermionic lattice models is completely determined by the topology of their Fermi surface.

description: Proteins are biomolecules responsible for a vast variety of functions in all living organisms. Proteins consist of one or more peptide chains forming highly complex structures containing many internal clefts, grooves, protrusions, and voids. This empty space forms very important transport pathways for ligands often called channels and tunnels. It has been proven that the tunnels and their properties can define many important protein characteristics like substrate specificity, enantioselectivity, thermal stability and/or activity. Therefore, a good understanding of these pathways is important for the deciphering of the protein function, protein engineering or drug design.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: High energy heavy-ion collisions produce large amounts of light nuclei and hype nuclei, especially at high baryon density around collision energy of several GeV. These light nuclei and hyper nuclei carry the information of nucleon-nucleon and hyperon-nucleon interactions and affect the chemical composition and properties of the collision system. This proceeding is a brief review for the recent measurements on light nuclei collective flow, including directed flow $v_1$, elliptic flow $v_2$, and high order flow coefficients, at finite and high baryon densities from different experiments. The light nuclei production mechanism is discussed based on comparisons of the measurements and model calculations. The first measurement for hyper nuclei $v_1$ at 3 GeV by STAR is also reported, which may imply the hyper nuclei are formed via the coalescence of nucleons and hyperon.

description: ELIXIR-Italy led the development of Laniakea [1-3], a software framework that facilitates the provisioning of on-demand Galaxy instances as a cloud service over e-infrastructures. With an easy-to-use interface, Laniakea grants to its end users access to private, production-grade, fully customizable, Galaxy virtual instances. Laniakea supports both stand-alone and cluster backed Galaxy instances, shared reference data volumes, encrypted data volumes, and the rapid development of novel Galaxy flavours for specific tasks.

Access to Laniakea@ReCaS Galaxy on-demand service is provided on a per-project basis through an open-ended call defining terms and conditions. Project proposals are evaluated by a scientific and technical board. Accepted proposals are granted a package of computational resources for running on-demand Galaxy instances for a duration compatible with the project requirements.

An interesting and somewhat unexpected result of this service is that Laniakea is being actively used as a platform to promptly develop and make available novel Galaxy based services as PIPE-T [4], in press, and VINYL [5], submitted.

In order to build integrated and interoperable services for ELIXIR and the wider Life Science user community as a whole, the development of Laniakea continues in the framework of the EOSC-Pillar [6] H2020 project. EOSC-Pillar coordinates and harmonises national efforts across Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Italy, federating national initiatives, through common policies, FAIR services, shared standards and technologies.

The last developments of Laniakea and the results of its integration with other EOSC-Pillar services will be presented at the ELIXIR All Hands. Moreover, we will show the achievements of the first year of public exploitation, started in December 2018 with the beta program and followed by the current production phase, also with the presentation of the most relevant use cases.

Spin-orbit Misalignment as a Driver of the Kepler Dichotomy

description: During its 5 year mission, the Kepler spacecraft has uncovered a diverse population of planetary systems with orbital configurations ranging from single-transiting planets to systems of multiple planets co-transiting the parent star. By comparing the relative occurrences of multiple to single-transiting systems, recent analyses have revealed a significant over-abundance of singles. Dubbed the "Kepler Dichotomy," this feature has been interpreted as evidence for two separate populations of planetary systems: one where all orbits are confined to a single plane, and a second where the constituent planetary orbits possess significant mutual inclinations, allowing only a single member to be observed in transit at a given epoch. In this work, we demonstrate that stellar obliquity, excited within the disk-hosting stage, can explain this dichotomy. Young stars rotate rapidly, generating a significant quadrupole moment which torques the planetary orbits, with inner planets influenced more strongly. Given nominal parameters, this torque is sufficiently strong to excite significant mutual inclinations between planets, enhancing the number of single-transiting planets, sometimes through a dynamical instability. Furthermore, as hot stars appear to possess systematically higher obliquities, we predict that single-transiting systems should be relatively more prevalent around more massive stars. We analyze the Kepler data and confirm this signal to be present.

Consistency of $χ$SB in chiral Yang-Mills theory with adiabatic continuity

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study the pattern of chiral symmetry breaking ($χ$SB) in the $ψχη$ model (with the chiral fermion sector containing $ ψ^{\{ij\}}$, $χ_{[ij]}$, and $η_{i}^{A}$, see [1]) on $\mathbb{R}^3 \times S^{1}_{L}$ and derive implications to $\mathbb{R}^4$ physics. Center-symmetric vacua are stabilized by a double-trace deformation. With the center symmetry maintained at small $L(S^1)\ll Λ^{-1}$, i.e. at weak coupling, no phase transitions are expected in passing to large $L(S^1)\gg Λ^{-1}$ (here $Λ$ is the dynamical Yang-Mills scale). Starting with the small $L$-limit, we find the leading-order nonperturbative corrections in the given theory. The instanton-monopole operators induce the adjoint chiral condensate $\langle ψ^{\{ij\}}χ_{[jk]}\rangle \neq 0$ at weak coupling i.e. at $L(S^1)\ll Λ^{-1}$. Then adiabatic continuity tells us that $\langle ψ^{\{ij\}}χ_{[jk]}\rangle \neq 0$ exists on $\mathbb{R}^4$, in full accord with the prediction [2]. Simultaneously with $\langle ψ^{\{ij\}}χ_{[jk]}\rangle \sim Λ^3δ^i_k$ the SU($N_c$) gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken at strong coupling down to its maximal Abelian subgroup.

Thermal conductivity tensor of $β$-HMX as a function of pressure and temperature from equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We apply the Green-Kubo (G-K) approach to obtain the thermal conductivity tensor of $β$-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane ($β$-HMX) as a function of pressure and temperature from equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Direct application of the G-K formula exhibits slow convergence of the integrated thermal conductivity values even for long (120 ns) accumulated simulation times. To partially mitigate this slow convergence, we apply a recently implemented numerical procedure [Int. J. Heat Mass Trans. 188, 122647 (2022)] that involves physically justified filtering of the MD-calculated G-K heat current and fitting the integrated time-dependent thermal conductivity to a physically motivated double-exponential function. The thermal conductivity tensor was determined for pressures 1 atm $ \leq P \leq $ 30 GPa and temperatures 300 K $\leq T \leq$ 900 K. The thermal conductivity $κ^{αβ} (T,P)$ increases with increasing pressure, by approximately an order of magnitude over the interval considered, and decreases with increasing temperature. The MD predictions are compared to experimental and other theoretically determined values for the thermal conductivity of $β$-HMX. A simple, semi-empirical fitting form is proposed that captures the behavior of $κ^{αα} (T,P)$ over the pressure and temperature intervals studied.

title: Space and illusion: a practical and theoretical investigation into the critical status of illusion in social space
Creators: name: Joseph-Lester, Jaspar
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2007

description: In this thesis I examine how disorientation, immersion and entertainment have come to characterize our understanding and experience of social space and consider the way representation - traditionally reserved for the visual, literary and aural disciplines of painting and poetry - has developed into ideological and experiential phenomena. However, rather than a single line or logical flow running between contemporary social space and the ideological imperatives of global capital, I argue that differentiated modes of spatial illusion exist in a turbulent and contradictory system of relations. Consequentially, this thesis explores the critical status of illusion. Taking spaces of retail and leisure as the focus of my inquiry I ask if the highly fabricated structures of shopping and entertainment provide some insight into new developments in global economy. More specifically, the relation between the 'experiential placemaking' of urban design and the 6experience economy' is analysed through their relation to discordant modes of illusion. Instead of extending the old categories of truth and illusion, I assess the histories, movements and interactions of highly constructed spatialities to ask if we can begin to think more openly and positively about the role of illusion in social space. It is through my work with video, installation, and projections that I consider the effect of global economy on social space. By editing and projecting geographically distant spaces and activities into a single narrative I analyse the fictional realities that shape our experience of shopping, travel and leisure. Throughout the text the relation between the global and the particular is interpreted as a critical relation between 'representational' and 'transcendental' spatialities. With this empirical analysis I investigate (i) how well known tropes of illusion - traditionally thought of as 'mimetic representation', 'phantasmagoric effects' and 'religious transcendentalism' - have mutated into a spatial form; (ii) what relation these highly constructed modes of disorientation, immersion and spectacle have on both one another and our relationship with space; and (iii) the potential for thinking and experiencing the production of fictional realities as a critical portal into the otherwise hidden workings of global capital.

Equations of motion governing the dynamics of the exceptional points of parameterically dependent nonhermitian Hamiltonians

description: We study exceptional points (EPs) of a nonhermitian Hamiltonian $\hat{H}(λ,δ)$ whose parameters $λ\in {\mathbb C}$ and $δ\in {\mathbb R}$. As the real control parameter $δ$ is varied, the $k$-th EP (or $k$-th cluster of simultaneously existing EPs) of $\hat{H}(λ,δ)$ moves in the complex plane of $λ$ along a continuous trajectory, $λ_k(δ)$. We derive a self contained set of equations of motion (EOM) for the trajectory $λ_k(δ)$, while interpreting $δ$ as the propagation time. Such EOM become of interest whenever one wishes to study the response of EPs to external perturbations or continuous parametric changes of the pertinent Hamiltonian. This is e.g.~the case of EPs emanating from hermitian curve crossings/degeneracies (which turn into avoided crossings/near-degeneracies when the Hamiltonian parameters are continuously varied). The presented EOM for EPs have not only their theoretical merits, they possess also a substantial practical relevance. Namely, the just presented approach can be regarded even as an efficient numerical method, useful for generating EPs for a broad class of complex quantum systems encountered in atomic, nuclear and condensed matter physics. Performance of such a method is tested here numerically on a simple yet nontrivial toy model.

description: Through a multitude of platforms and sources, news media permeates online daily interactions. This reach affords news media significant social influence. Analyzing news articles at scale can reveal latent trends in news media, which ultimately have the potential to be norm-setting. In this study, we implement computational tools to reveal large scale trends in news reporting. Specifically, we integrate NER parsing, record linkage (in the form of gender prediction), topic modeling and word embeddings to reveal trends both in the corpus overall, as well as specific to gendered contexts. Named Entity Recognition and record linkage to isolate contexts in which an individual is reported on (and predict the individual’s gender in order to make larger claims about gender representation in news media). These contexts are then used to train the word embeddings: illuminating differences in the semantic contexts and roles for women/men in news media contexts. This study contributes to an emerging field at the intersection between machine learning and quantitative social science by implementing advanced model architectures to answer questions based in cultural and media studies.

description: 3C273, the nearest bright quasar, comprises a strong nuclear core and a bright, one-sided jet extending ~ 23 arcseconds to the SW. The source has been the subject of imaging campaigns in all wavebands. Extensive observations of this source have been made with the Very Large Array and other telescopes as part of a campaign to understand the jet emission mechanisms. Partial results from the VLA radio campaign have been published, but to date, the complete set of VLA imaging results has not been made available. We have utilized the VLA to determine the radio structure of 3C273 in Stokes I, Q, and U, over the widest possible frequency and resolution range. The VLA observed the source in all four of its configurations, and with all eight of its frequency bands, spanning 73.8 MHz to 43 GHz. The data were taken in a pseudo-spectral line mode to minimize the VLA's correlator errors, and were fully calibrated with subsequent self-calibration techniques to maximise image fidelity. Images in Stokes parameters I, Q, and U, spanning a resolution range from 6 arcseconds to 88 milliarcseconds are presented. Spectral index images, showing the evolution of the jet component are shown. Polarimetry demonstrates the direction of the magnetic fields responsible for the emission, and rotation measure maps show the RM to be very small with no discernible trend along or across the jet. This paper presents a small subset of these images to demonstrate the major characteristics of the source emission. A library of all ~500 images has been made available for open, free access by interested parties.

description: Tackling the difficult problem of estimating spatially distributed hydrological parameters, especially for floods on ungauged watercourses, this contribution presents a novel seamless regionalization technique for learning complex regional transfer functions designed for high-resolution hydrological models. The transfer functions rely on: (i) a multilayer perceptron enabling a seamless flow of gradient computation to employ machine learning optimization algorithms, or (ii) a multivariate regression mapping optimized by variational data assimilation algorithms and guided by Bayesian estimation, addressing the equifinality issue of feasible solutions. The approach involves incorporating the inferable regionalization mappings into a differentiable hydrological model and optimizing a cost function computed on multi-gauge data with accurate adjoint-based spatially distributed gradients.

Phase field method for quasi-static hydro-fracture in porous media under stress boundary condition considering the effect of initial stress field

description: Phase field model (PFM) is an efficient fracture modeling method and has high potential for hydraulic fracturing (HF). However, the current PFMs in HF do not consider well the effect of in-situ stress field and the numerical examples of porous media with stress boundary conditions were rarely presented. The main reason is that if the remote stress is applied on the boundaries of the calculation domain, there will be relatively large deformation induced on these stress boundaries, which is not consistent with the engineering observations. To eliminate this limitation, this paper proposes a new phase field method to describe quasi-static hydraulic fracture propagation in porous media subjected to stress boundary conditions, and the new method is more in line with engineering practice. A new energy functional, which considers the effect of initial in-situ stress field, is established and then it is used to achieve the governing equations for the displacement and phase fields through the variational approach. Biot poroelasticity theory is used to couple the fluid pressure field and the displacement field while the phase field is used for determining the fluid properties from the intact domain to the fully broken domain. In addition, we present several 2D and 3D examples to show the effects of in-situ stress on hydraulic fracture propagation. The numerical examples indicate that under stress boundary condition our approach obtains correct displacement distribution and it is capable of capturing complex hydraulic fracture growth patterns.

description: Estimating metallicity of classical Cepheids is of prime importance for studying metallicity effect on stellar evolution, chemical evolution of galaxies, and ultimately its impact on period-luminosity relation used in the extragalactic distance scale. We aim at establishing new empirical relations for estimating the iron content of classical Cepheids for short and long-periods based on Fourier parameters from the $V$-band light curves. We calibrate new interrelations of Fourier parameters to convert $V$-band empirical relations into the $I$-band. Then we apply these relation in $V$ and $I$-bands to Cepheids from Milky Way (MW), Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) available in the literature. Last, we map the metallicity distribution in these galaxies for investigating potential application in galactic archeology. These empirical relations in $V$ and $I$ bands are able to derive the mean metallicity of a sample of MW, SMC and LMC Cepheids in agreement with literature values within 1$σ$. We also show that these relations are precise enough to reconstruct the radial metallicity gradients within the MW from OGLE data. The empirical relations in the $V$ and $I$ bands calibrated in this paper for short and long-period Cepheids provide a new useful tool to estimate the metallicity of Cepheids which are not accessible by spectroscopy. The calibration can be improved with further high-resolution spectroscopic observations of metal-poor Cepheids and homogeneous photometries in $V$ and $I$ bands.

description: This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature concerning the utilization of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, with a particular focus on transformer-based large language models (LLMs) trained using Big Code, within the domain of AI-assisted programming tasks. LLMs, augmented with software naturalness, have played a crucial role in facilitating AI-assisted programming applications, including code generation, code completion, code translation, code refinement, code summarization, defect detection, and clone detection. Notable examples of such applications include the GitHub Copilot powered by OpenAI's Codex and DeepMind AlphaCode. This paper presents an overview of the major LLMs and their applications in downstream tasks related to AI-assisted programming. Furthermore, it explores the challenges and opportunities associated with incorporating NLP techniques with software naturalness in these applications, with a discussion on extending AI-assisted programming capabilities to Apple's Xcode for mobile software development. This paper also presents the challenges of and opportunities for incorporating NLP techniques with software naturalness, empowering developers with advanced coding assistance and streamlining the software development process.

description: The long-time thermal relaxation of (TMTTF)$_2$Br, Sr$_{14}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$ and Sr$_2$Ca$_{12}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$ single crystals at temperatures below 1 K and magnetic field up to 10 T is investigated. The data allow us to determine the relaxation time spectrum of the low energy excitations caused by the charge-density wave (CDW) or spin-density wave (SDW). The relaxation time is mainly determined by a thermal activated process for all investigated materials. The maximum relaxation time increases with increasing magnetic field. The distribution of barrier heights corresponds to one or two Gaussian functions. The doping of Sr$_{14-x}$Ca$_{x}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$ with Ca leads to a drastic shift of the relaxation time spectrum to longer time. The maximum relaxation time changes from 50 s (x = 0) to 3000 s (x = 12) at 0.1 K and 10 T. The observed thermal relaxation at x=12 clearly indicates the formation of the SDW ground state at low temperatures.
