description: Optical isolator is an indispensable component of almost any optical system and is used to protect a laser from unwanted reflections for phase-stable coherent operation. The development of chip-scale optical systems, powered by semiconductor lasers integrated on the same chip, has resulted in a need for a fully integrated optical isolator. However, conventional approaches based on application of magneto-optic materials to break the reciprocity and provide required isolation have significant challenges in terms of material processing and insertion loss. As a result, many magnetic-free approaches have been explored, including acousto-optics, optical nonlinearity, and electro-optics. However, to date, the realization of an integrated isolator with low insertion loss, high isolation ratio, broad bandwidth, and low power consumption on a monolithic material platform is still absent. Here we realize non-reciprocal traveling-wave EO-based isolator on thin-film LN, enabling maximum optical isolation of 48 dB and an on-chip insertion loss of 0.5 dB using a single-frequency microwave drive at 21-dBm RF power. The isolation ratio is verified to be larger than 37 dB across a tunable optical wavelength range from 1510 to 1630 nm. We verify that our hybrid DFB laser - LN isolator module successfully protects the single-mode operation and the linewidth of the DFB laser from reflection. Our result is a significant step towards a practical high-performance optical isolator on chip.

description: Conjoint survey with 2000 working age adults in the UK. It takes a "one design, two logics" approach to test two different research questions. The first is an examination of the nature of political process preferences and the extent to which they are ideological or contingent. The second tests a question wording intervention to see whether the simplicity/complexity of the description of the democratic process is a significant factor in driving levels of support. The two different logics are explained separately in the two pre-registration plans. The project was funded by the Johanna Quandt Young Academy at Goethe University Frankfurt.

Intersecting Defects and Supergroup Gauge Theory

Year: 2021

description: We consider 5d supersymmetric gauge theories with unitary groups in the Ω- background and study codim-2/4 BPS defects supported on orthogonal planes intersecting at the origin along a circle. The intersecting defects arise upon implementing the most generic Higgsing (geometric transition) to the parent higher dimensional theory, and they are described by pairs of 3d supersymmetric gauge theories with unitary groups interacting through 1d matter at the intersection. We explore the relations between instanton and gen- eralized vortex calculus, pointing out a duality between intersecting defects subject to the Ω-background and a deformation of supergroup gauge theories, the exact supergroup point being achieved in the self-dual or unrefined limit. Embedding our setup into refined topo- logical strings and in the simplest case when the parent 5d theory is Abelian, we are able to identify the supergroup theory dual to the intersecting defects as the supergroup version of refined Chern-Simons theory via open/closed duality. We also discuss the BPS/CFT side of the correspondence, finding an interesting large rank duality with super-instanton counting.

description: Template extraction is the process of isolating the template of a given webpage. It is widely used in several disciplines, including webpages development, content extraction, block detection, and webpages indexing. One of the main goals of template extraction is identifying a set of webpages with the same template without having to load and analyze too many webpages prior to identifying the template. This work introduces a new technique to automatically discover a reduced set of webpages in a website that implement the template. This set is computed with an hyperlink analysis that computes a very small set with a high level of confidence.

description: The position of Finland in the Russian Empire affected relations between the Finnish elites bureaucratic, economic and ideological and their relations with popular groups within the Grand Duchy. The central elite, the highest echelons of the bureaucracy, assumed a dual role. This elite was the interface between the empire and the local population and it espoused both loyalty to the autocracy and consolidation of Finnish institutional distinctiveness a position epitomized by the term «loyal patriotism». The Finnish state and its central administration emerged as a result of an external decree, which gave the bureaucratic elite strong reasons for identifying with and further developing the new political unit. A major factor in this identification was the fact that the elite lacked a real power base, most notably landownership, outside the bureaucracy. In enhancing the country’s distinctiveness, the elite was well aware that it had to maintain loyalty to the autocracy and forestall all offences against social peace in the borderland. In its relations with popular domestic groups, the elite began to construct its legitimacy on its solidarity with the «people». Unlike nationalism in many other ethnically distinct regions of multinational empires in the same epoch, the Finnish variant, Fennomania, was not only a movement for liberation and emancipation but also a version of state-based nationalism. It included both upper-class conservatism, loyalty to the mother country, and a strong populist component. Finally, the bureaucratic elite had to utilize the learned estate (the clergy and academics) in their efforts to maintain loyalty to the empire. This need created (limited) tensions between the bureaucracy and the ideological elite.

description: In this paper, we present a solution to a design problem of control strategies for multi-agent cooperative transport. Although existing learning-based methods assume that the number of agents is the same as that in the training environment, the number might differ in reality considering that the robots' batteries may completely discharge, or additional robots may be introduced to reduce the time required to complete a task. Therefore, it is crucial that the learned strategy be applicable to scenarios wherein the number of agents differs from that in the training environment. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-agent reinforcement learning framework of event-triggered communication and consensus-based control for distributed cooperative transport. The proposed policy model estimates the resultant force and torque in a consensus manner using the estimates of the resultant force and torque with the neighborhood agents. Moreover, it computes the control and communication inputs to determine when to communicate with the neighboring agents under local observations and estimates of the resultant force and torque. Therefore, the proposed framework can balance the control performance and communication savings in scenarios wherein the number of agents differs from that in the training environment. We confirm the effectiveness of our approach by using a maximum of eight and six robots in the simulations and experiments, respectively.

description: We present neutron diffraction analysis of BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$ over a wide temperature (10 to 300 K) and compositional ($0.11 \leq x \leq 0.79$) range, including the normal state, the magnetically ordered state, and the superconducting state. The paramagnetic to spin-density wave and orthorhombic to tetragonal transitions are first order and coincident within the sensitivity of our measurements ($\sim 0.5$ K). Extrapolation of the orthorhombic order parameter down to zero suggests that structural quantum criticality cannot exist at compositions higher than $x = 0.28$, which is much lower than values determined using other methods, but in good agreement with our observations of the actual phase stability range. The onset of spin-density wave order shows a stronger structural anomaly than the charge-doped system in the form of an enhancement of the $c/a$ ratio below the transition.

description: The importance of first impressions for various intrapersonal, social and societal outcomes is well established. First impressions towards refugees as individual members of one of the most heatedly discussed social groups in Western societies should play a key role in facilitating or impeding successful social integration. However, this issue is currently underexplored. To help understand first impressions towards refugee individuals, we conducted two studies, in which German perceivers (total N = 938) evaluated 60 (Study 1) or 48 (Study 2) male target photos of Western individuals (presented as Germans) and Middle Eastern individuals (presented as refugees). In Study 2, we included information about targets’ religious affiliations (Christian, Muslim) and religiousness (weakly religious, devout). Targets’ facial characteristics (physical attractiveness, smiling) were coded, and perceiver attitudes (right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, right-wing political ideology) were assessed. Results showed (a) no overall devaluation of refugees or Muslims, (b) strong effects of target attractiveness and smiling on evaluations across individuals of different group affiliations, (c) strong effects of perceiver attitudes towards refugees and Muslims, and (d) no interactive effects of perceiver attitudes and target cues on evaluations. It is important to note that these results should not be interpreted as any doubt about the profound experiences of discrimination and prejudices faced by minorities such as refugees. Instead, they underline the utility of an individual differences approach to better understand the circumstances under which devaluations of minoritized individuals suchs as refugees are amplified or reduced.

Intercultural education policies across Europe as responses to cultural diversity (2006-2016)

description: The purpose of this research is to trace the dynamics of the development of the inter-cultural education within the education policies across Europe. The brief summary of the IE development during previous four decades is presented. The principal part of the paper is dedicated to the content analysis of the EU education policies documents in regards of IE during the last decade 2006-2016. So far there is no agreed definition on this type of education, so I tried to clarify (through research articles and policy documents) the latest approaches (trends, preferences, boundaries, prejudices, etc.) on using the terminology Multicultural and/or Intercultural Education, its interpretation in academic papers and in policy documents. The debates on multiculturalism-interculturalism are referred to with the purpose to learn how these debates influence the European education policies. I indicated that the development of intercultural education continued under the neoliberal agenda in education policies and it was echoed in many documents. I found it was worthy to list the European Commission’s initiatives of the recent years in forms of granted projects and subsidized programs to stimulate and compliment the educators’ activities in the field of intercultural education. I came to conclusion that the overall rhetoric of the last decade’s policies and researches was undoubtedly glorifying and elevating intercultural education, the wording and language of the policy documents were enormously enriched, extended and reflected the current trends and issues. Although in practice it is seen that certain deficiencies occur in translating the EU supranational guidelines at the level of national policies.

description: Web service choreographies specify conditions on observable interactions among the services. An important question in this regard is realizability: given a choreography C, does there exist a set of service implementations I that conform to C ? Further, if C is realizable, is there an algorithm to construct implementations in I ? We propose a local temporal logic in which choreographies can be specified, and for specifications in the logic, we solve the realizability problem by constructing service implementations (when they exist) as communicating automata. These are nondeterministic finite state automata with a coupling relation. We also report on an implementation of the realizability algorithm and discuss experimental results.

description: Transitions between two lanes often have a significant impact on various forms of road traffic. To address this problem, we have developed a two-lane asymmetric simple exclusion process model and two hypothetical traffic control strategies, to simulate a futuristic scenario where the timing and location of transitions between two lanes are highly controlled. Various scenarios were proposed to study the effectiveness of these control strategies. An optimized control strategy, whose parameters were determined through an optimization algorithm, is confirmed to effectively maximize the average traffic flow. Consequently, we may identify suitable road sections and the corresponding timings of transitions to resolve congestion in this model.

description: The ultra-light dark matter (ULDM) model has become a popular dark matter scenario nowadays. The mass of the ULDM particles is extremely small so that they can exhibit wave properties in the central dark matter halo region. Numerical simulations show that a soliton core with an almost constant mass density would be formed inside the ULDM halo. If our Galactic Centre has a dark matter soliton core, some of the stars orbiting about the supermassive black hole (Sgr A*) would be crossing the soliton core boundary. In this article, we report the first theoretical study on how the dark matter soliton core near the Sgr A* could affect the surrounding stellar orbital precession. We show that some particular stellar orbital precession may become retrograde in direction, which is opposite to the prograde direction predicted by General Relativity. We anticipate that future orbital data of the stars S2, S12 and S4716 can provide crucial tests for the ULDM model for $m \sim 10^{-19}-10^{-17}$ eV.

The impact of genotype on the cellular architecture of dilated and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies
Creators: name: Lindberg, Eric
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Heart failure is a clinical syndrom and leading cause of death worldwide, caused by functional and structural abnormalities of the heart. Dilated Cardiomyopathy, defined by a left ventricular enlargement, and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, defined by a right ventricular dysfunction, are leading causes of heart failure. Despite previous efforts to characterise molecular changes in the failing heart, little is known on cell-type specific abundance and expression changes under pathological conditions, and how individual cell-types interact during heart failure and cardiac remodelling. To address this question, a protocol for the isolation of intact nuclei was firstly established to perform robust single-nucleus RNA sequencing in the heart. Next, the cell-type composition of the healthy adult human heart was characterised. Here my focus was on the fibroblast nieche by characterising fibroblast states, their composition and their atria- and ventricle specific expression patterns. Cell type and state annotation was then used to characterize the transcriptome of roughly 900,000 nuclei from 61 failing, non-ischemic human hearts with distinct pathogenic variants in DCM and ACM genes or idiopathic disease and compared those to 18 healthy donor hearts. This dataset revealed distinct responses of the right and left ventricle with differently regulated genes and pathways, and compositional changes across cell types and states. To independently confirm genotype-specific responses, machine learning approaches were applied, predicting genotype subgroups with high accuracy. Taken together, the findings published in this thesis upends the prevalent dogma that heart failure results in a final common pathway. This repository contains supplementary tables of this thesis. The results generated during this project were previously published in https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abo1984.

description: Context: The physical origin behind organic emission in embedded low-mass star formation has been fiercely debated in the last two decades. A multitude of scenarios have been proposed, from a hot corino to PDRs on cavity walls to shock excitation. Aims: The aim of this paper is to determine the location and the corresponding physical conditions of the gas responsible for organics emission lines. The outflows around the small protocluster NGC 2071 are an ideal testbed to differentiate between various scenarios. Methods: Using Herschel-HIFI and the SMA, observations of CH3OH, H2CO and CH3CN emission lines over a wide range of excitation energies were obtained. Comparisons to a grid of radiative transfer models provide constraints on the physical conditions. Comparison to H2O line shape is able to trace gas-phase synthesis versus a sputtered origin. Results: Emission of organics originates in three spots: the continuum sources IRS 1 ('B') and IRS 3 ('A') as well as a outflow position ('F'). Densities are above 10$^7$ cm$^{-3}$ and temperatures between 100 to 200 K. CH3OH emission observed with HIFI originates in all three regions and cannot be associated with a single region. Very little organic emission originates outside of these regions. Conclusions: Although the three regions are small (<1,500 AU), gas-phase organics likely originate from sputtering of ices due to outflow activity. The derived high densities (>10$^7$ cm$^{-3}$) are likely a requirement for organic molecules to survive from being destroyed by shock products. The lack of spatially extended emission confirms that organic molecules cannot (re)form through gas-phase synthesis, as opposed to H2O, which shows strong line wing emission. The lack of CH3CN emission at 'F' is evidence for a different history of ice processing due to the absence of a protostar at that location and recent ice mantle evaporation.

title: Re-writing women into Canadian history: Margaret Atwood and Anne Hébert
Creators: name: Rousselot, Elodie
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This thesis focuses on two twentieth-century Canadian female authors of distinct cultural and linguistic backgrounds: the Ontarian Margaret Atwood, and the Québécoise Anne Hébert, and seeks to address the central role they give to Canadian history, and to actual Canadian historical figures, in their fictional writings. This will provide a means of assessing the ways in which each author attempts to ‘re-write’ Canadian history and to create a specifically female historical space in which traditionally oppressed female figures are given an opportunity to make themselves heard. Because of the importance given to history and to types of historical narratives in the works selected, it seems relevant to begin with a brief historical outline of Canada and Quebec, as well as with an overview of the current storiographical debates in both: this will be the object of Chapter One. Chapter Two will examine Margaret Atwood’s 1970 poem cycle The Journals of Susanna Moodie, where the poet explores the issues of alienation and displacement she associates with the pioneering experience of the nineteenth-century female settler. Atwood would later re-visit the writings of Susanna Moodie, as will be shown in Grace, Atwood’s unpublished play, while Chapter Two ends with the study of two poems and a short story in which Atwood also finds inspiration in the life stories of female characters from the past. Chapter Three will be dedicated to the study of Atwood’s 1996 novel Alias Grace, and will illustrate the ways in which the narrative adopts a ‘limited identities’ approach to the re-writing of the life of a nineteenth-century handmaid accused of murder. Chapter Four will be concerned with the examination of Anne Hébert’s 1970 novel Kamouraska, in which notions of historical narratives and private past will be challenged. Chapter Five will explore Hébert’s two plays La Cage and L’île de la Demoiselle, published jointly in 1990, and will address the author’s attempt to re-interpret Quebec’s history and to alter Québécois women’s destinies. Finally, Chapter Six will examine Hébert’s 1988 novel Le Premier jardin and assess the ways in which the author manages to establish a Québécois ‘herstory’.

description: Urban transformation represents an increasingly urgent goal in accelerating the transition towards innovative, sustainable and digital cities to make them more efficient and smarter. An extraordinary availability of public funding is currently mobilized to this effect; however, it is not sufficient to pursue sustainability goals. Since the acceleration of smart city growth requires a huge amount of investment, venture capital could play a key role in launching the smart city of the future. In our research we analyse the role of venture capital as a promoter and accelerator of industrial sectors through the financing of innovative start-ups and funding disruptive technologies, which impact the smart city.
Descriptive analysis was conducted based on data collected through venture capital deals carried out in Italy during the period 2015 to 2021, as monitored by 〖VeM〗^TM, selecting specific industries which impact the smart city: digitalization, ecological transition, financial services, healthcare and mobility. The results suggest that there is an overall growth of interest from venture capitalists in investing in the smart city, which makes the market more dynamic and ready to accelerate urban transformation. This represents an impressive trend that may be good groundwork for further growth in the years ahead.

description: The X-ray afterglow of many gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibits a plateau phase before the normal power-law decay stage, which may be related to continued activities of the central engine. Tang et al. 2019 collected 174 such GRBs and confirmed the so called $L-T-E$ correlation which involves three key parameters, i.e., the isotropic $γ$-ray energy $E_{γ,\rm iso}$ of the prompt phase, the end time $T_{a}$ of the plateau phase and the corresponding X-ray luminosity $L_{X}$. In this study, the $L-T-E$ correlation is confirmed and updated as $L_{X} \propto T_{a}^{-0.99} E_{γ,\rm iso}^{0.86}$ with a large sample consisting of 210 plateau GRBs with known redshifts. The tight correlation is then applied to derive the pseudo redshift of other 130 plateau GRBs whose redshifts are not directly measured. Statistical analysis is also carried out on this pseudo redshift sample.

description: The present study investigates whether Private Equity (PE) funds are supporting Smart cities’ development in Italy. Initial evidence is given regarding the presence of a convergence of financial resources towards businesses operating in the economic sectors considered to be strategic to the development of the cities of the future. Details regarding the major features of the phenomenon are provided. To perform the research, a sample of 1,369 PE transactions undertaken by Italian and foreign investors in Italy in the years 2015-2021 was examined. The final output of this paper is a descriptive qualitative and quantitative analysis, whose main contributions are as follows. It emerges that companies operating in the industries that are key to the grounding of smart cities attracted substantial attention in the reference period. Infrastructures, firms providing ecological services and businesses supporting digitalization processes have catalyzed the greatest share of capital. Most operations have been conducted by International PE players and about half the investments have involved companies located either in Lombardy or in Lazio. Moreover, the buyout approach has been the most frequently adopted strategy when launching the examined deals. Finally, a significant growth of the entry multiple EV/EBITDA was recorded in the investigated period, suggesting soaring competition as well as PE players’ acknowledgement of the centrality of smart cities to the country’s future development.

description: The Agent Conversation Reasoning Engine (ACRE) is intended to aid agent developers to improve the management and reliability of agent communication. To evaluate its effectiveness, a problem scenario was created that could be used to compare code written with and without the use of ACRE by groups of test subjects. This paper describes the requirements that the evaluation scenario was intended to meet and how these motivated the design of the problem. Two experiments were conducted with two separate sets of students and their solutions were analysed using a combination of simple objective metrics and subjective analysis. The analysis suggested that ACRE by default prevents some common problems arising that would limit the reliability and extensibility of conversation-handling code. As ACRE has to date been integrated only with the Agent Factory multi agent framework, it was necessary to verify that the problems identified are not unique to that platform. Thus a comparison was made with best practice communication code written for the Jason platform, in order to demonstrate the wider applicability of a system such as ACRE.

description: We present 250~GHz continuum and H29alpha line data toward W49N:A2, a hypercompact HII region ionized by an O9 star. The data obtained with ALMA at a resolution of ~0"05 (600 au) confirmed the presence of an ionized ring with a radius of~700 au inclined by ~50degree (0degree for pole-on). It has a width of ~1000 au and is relatively flat with a scale height of less than several hundred au. The tilted ring, or the apparent ellipse, has a prominent velocity difference between its NW and SE ridges along the minor axis, suggesting that it is expanding in the equatorial plane at a velocity of 13.2 km/s. The ring also shows a hint of rotation at 2.7 km/s, which is significantly (2.5sigma) smaller than the Kepler velocity of 5.2 km/s at its radius around the 20 M$_sun star. This can be interpreted that the ring gas has been transported from the radius of ~170 au by conserving its original specific angular momentum that it had there. The ionized ring may thus be a remnant of the accretion disk that fed the O9 star, whose radiation or magnetic activities became so strong that the disk accretion was reversed due to the intense thermal or magneto-hydrodynamic pressure around the star. The data has revealed a rare example of how a massive star terminates its accretion at the end of its formation, transforming a hypercompact HII region into an ultracompact HII region.

Bone marrow microenvironment

description: Hypocellular or hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndromes (HMDS) are a distinct subgroup accounting for 10–15% of all MDS patients, that are characterized by the presence of bone marrow (BM) hypocellularity, various degree of dysmyelopoiesis and sometimes abnormal karyotype. Laboratory and clinical evidence suggest that HMDS share several immune-mediated pathogenic mechanisms with acquired idiopathic aplastic anemia (AA). Different immune-mediated mechanisms have been documented in the damage of marrow hematopoietic progenitors occurring in HMDS; they include oligoclonal expansion of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), polyclonal expansion of various subtypes of T helper lymphocytes, overexpression of FAS-L and of the TNF–related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), underexpression of Flice-like inhibitory protein long isoform (FLIPL) in marrow cells as well as higher release of Th1 cytokines, such as interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). It has also been documented that some HMDS patients have higher frequency of polymorphisms linked both to high production of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and transforming growth factor-β and to the inhibition of T-cell mediated immune responses such as interleukin-10, further suggesting that immune-mediated mechanisms similar to those seen in AA patients may also operate in HMDS. Clinically, the strongest evidence for immune–mediated hematopoietic suppression in some HMDS is the response to immunosuppression including mainly cyclosporine, anti-thymocyte globulin and/or cyclosporine, or alemtuzumab. Here we review all these immune mechanisms as well as the influence of this deranged cellular and humoral immunologic mileau on the initiation and possible progression of MDS. All these observations are pivotal not only for a better understanding of MDS pathophysiology, but also for their immediate clinical implications, eventually leading to the identification of MDS patients who may benefit from immunosuppression.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: General advances in farm technology will continue to increase crop yield responses to fertilizer. In 1960-64, farmers received a return of about $2. 50 per dollar spent for fertilizer. At these rates, the value of product added through use of a ton of NPK was equal to the value of crops produced on 9.4 acres of cropland (acreage on which crops were harvested, plus failure and cultivated summer fallow). Thus, for the United States as a whole, as long as a ton of NPK costs less than all operating costs (including fertilizer) for 9.4 acres, alternative levels of total production could be obtained more cheaply by using more fertilizer and less land. As fertilizer application rates are increased, other things equal, the added crop value per unit of application declines. Had rates been increased by an amount necessary to bring the added return per dollar of added fertilizer cost to $2, the 1960-64 level of crop production could have been obtained from 80 million fewer acres than the 339 million used for crops during that period.
