Restoration

description: Bahay na Bato or "House of Stone" is a hybrid vernacular architecture in the Philippines that started during the Spanish regime and sixteenth-century Chinese migration. It has been a well-studied subject but mostly focused on the architectural features and spatial functions of the domestic architecture. The 1730 Jesuit House presents a rare typology of the Bahay na Bato that sparked interest among scholars. The plan for its restoration became an opportunity to conduct different studies about the ancestral house. Thus, the research supplements the existing body of knowledge and investigates the construction system of the house that provides a wealth of information to the understanding of vernacular architecture in the Philippines. The research focuses on three areas: history, typology, and tectonic. The History chapter attempts to determine when the house was built and who the first owner was. The Typology section defines the significance of the typology in the evolution of vernacular architecture in the country. Lastly, the Tectonic chapter identifies the influences of the construction system that led to the hybridity of the Bahay na Bato. The study employs historical research, site investigation, interviews, and comparative analysis of the construction system in the Philippines, China, and Spain. The results of this study will hopefully help the on-going restoration work and future designation of the Jesuit House as a national cultural heritage of the Philippines. In the bigger picture, the research attempts to provide a deeper understanding of vernacular architecture in the country, which will bring more awareness, appreciation, and protection for all the ancestral houses in the Philippines.

description: We consider the superposition of two semiclassical solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for a de Sitter universe, describing a quantized scalar vacuum propagating in a universe that is contracting in one case and expanding in the other, each identifying a opposite cosmological arrow of time. We discuss the suppression of the interference terms between the two arrows of time due to environment-induced decoherence caused by modes of the scalar vacuum crossing the Hubble horizon. Furthermore, we quantify the effect of the interference on the expectation value of the observable field mode correlations, with respect to an observer that we identify with the spatial geometry.

description: Homelessness is a humanitarian challenge affecting an estimated 1.6 billion people worldwide. In the face of rising homeless populations in developed nations and a strain on social services, government agencies are increasingly adopting data-driven models to determine one's risk of experiencing homelessness and assigning scarce resources to those in need. We conducted a systematic literature review of 57 papers to understand the evolution of these decision-making algorithms. We investigated trends in computational methods, predictor variables, and target outcomes used to develop the models using a human-centered lens and found that only 9 papers (15.7%) investigated model fairness and bias. We uncovered tensions between explainability and ecological validity wherein predictive risk models (53.4%) focused on reductive explainability while resource allocation models (25.9%) were dependent on unrealistic assumptions and simulated data that are not useful in practice. Further, we discuss research challenges and opportunities for developing human-centered algorithms in this area.

description: Motivated by observations of disk galaxies with counter-rotating stars, we have run two-dimensional, collisionless N-body simulations of disk galaxies with significant counter-rotating components. For all our simulations the initial value of Toomre's stability parameter was Q = 1.1. The percentage of counter-rotating particles ranges from 25% to 50%. A stationary one-arm spiral wave is observed to form in each run, persisting from a few to five rotation periods, measured at the half-mass radius. In one run, the spiral wave was initially a leading arm which subsequently transformed into a trailing arm. We also observed a change in spiral direction in the run initially containing equal numbers of particles orbiting in both directions. The results of our simulations support an interpretation of the one armed waves as due to the two stream instability.

Improved Main Sequence Turnoff Ages of Young Open Clusters: Multicolor UBV Techniques & the Challenges of Rotation

description: Main sequence turnoff ages in young open clusters are complicated by turnoffs that are sparse, have high binarity fractions, can be affected by differential reddening, and typically include a number of peculiar stars. Furthermore, stellar rotation can have a significant effect on a star's photometry and evolutionary timescale. In this paper we analyze in 12 nearby open clusters, ranging from ages of 50 Myr to 350 Myr, how broadband UBV color-color relations can be used to identify turnoff stars that are Be stars, blue stragglers, certain types of binaries, or those affected by differential reddening. This UBV color-color analysis also directly measures a cluster's E(B-V) and estimates its [Fe/H]. The turnoff stars unaffected by these peculiarities create a narrower and more clearly defined cluster turnoff. Using four common isochronal models, two of which consider rotation, we fit cluster parameters using these selected turnoff stars and the main sequence. Comparisons of the photometrically fit cluster distances to those based on Gaia DR2 parallaxes find that they are consistent for all clusters. For older (>100 Myr) clusters, like the Pleiades and the Hyades, comparisons to ages based on the lithium depletion boundary method finds that these cleaned turnoff ages agree to within ~10% for all four isochronal models. For younger clusters, however, only the Geneva models that consider rotation fit turnoff ages consistent with lithium-based ages, while the ages based on non-rotating isochrones quickly diverge to become 30% to 80% younger. This illustrates the importance of rotation for deriving ages in the youngest (<100 Myr) clusters.

Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society

description: Various research studies indicate that action recognition performance highly depends on the types of motions being extracted and how accurate the human actions are represented. In this paper, we investigate different optical flow, and features extracted from these optical flow that capturing both short-term and long-term motion dynamics. We perform power normalization on the magnitude component of optical flow for flow dynamics correction to boost subtle or dampen sudden motions. We show that existing action recognition models which rely on optical flow are able to get performance boosted with our corrected optical flow. To further improve performance, we integrate our corrected flow dynamics into popular models through a simple hallucination step by selecting only the best performing optical flow features, and we show that by `translating' the CNN feature maps into these optical flow features with different scales of motions leads to the new state-of-the-art performance on several benchmarks including HMDB-51, YUP++, fine-grained action recognition on MPII Cooking Activities, and large-scale Charades.

description: Two body decays of B mesons are studied by decomposing their amplitude into a sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones. The former is estimated by using a naive factorization while the latter is assumed to be dominated by dynamical contributions of various hadron states and is calculated by using a hard pion (or kaon) technique in the infinite momentum frame. Possible roles of the non-factorizable contributions are discussed by comparing the result with experiments.

description: The study addressed a contemporary and prehistoric topic in the same time. The study concerned about the Quranic heritage for two of well-known Muslims Scholars in the twenty centuries in Muslims World which are Muhammad Abdullah Draz and Malik Bin Nabi. To search at the authenticity of the source of the Holy Quran, by tracing and sifting what these two scholars have noted in their writings related to the Holy Quran (specifically), these writings still have not yet found the proper attention. Our argument which we have adopted in this research said that there are three basic hypotheses that the research in the deep-rooted of the Quran cannot be out of them. Therefore, the study divided into an introduction, overview and three chapters. The introduction to the study sheds some light on the characteristics of the historical development of the Quranic miracle science, As the central topic in the proof of the source of the Quran, while First Chapter deal with the revoking of the premise of the personal source of the Quran, while the Second Chapter focused on revoking the hypothesis of the educational source of the Quran, while the Third Chapter demonstrate the premise of the divine source of the Quran. In this study, We have reviewed the logical possibilities of research in the source of the Holy Quran through the three hypotheses, and we said that the historical, mental and mobility evidence reveal that all the possibilities say that the humanity of the Quran, and thus we concluded that the only hypothesis that can convince the mind, And the objective researcher, is the third hypothesis; which says that the Holy Quran is the word of God Almighty, sent him to His Messenger Muhammad peace be upon him by Jibril peace be upon him.

description: Emission from protostars at centimeter radio wavelengths has been shown to trace the free-free emission arising from ionizing shocks as a result of jets and outflows driven by protostars. Therefore, measuring properties of protostars at radio frequencies can provide valuable insights into the nature of their outflows and jets. We present a C-band (4.1 cm and 6.4 cm) survey of all known protostars (Class 0 and Class I) in Perseus as part of the VLA Nascent Disk and Multiplicity (VANDAM) Survey. We examine the known correlations between radio flux density and protostellar parameters such as bolometric luminosity and outflow force, for our sample. We also investigate the relationship between radio flux density and far-infrared line luminosities from Herschel. We show that free-free emission originates most likely from J-type shocks; however, the large scatter indicates that those two types of emission probe different time and spatial scales. Using C-band fluxes, we removed an estimation of free-free contamination from the corresponding Ka-band (9 mm) flux densities that primarily probe dust emission from embedded disks. We find that the compact ($

description: Facebook News Feed personalization algorithm has a significant impact, on a daily basis, on the lifestyle, mood and opinion of millions of Internet users. Nonetheless, the behavior of such algorithm lacks transparency, motivating measurements, modeling and analysis in order to understand and improve its properties. In this paper, we propose a reproducible methodology encompassing measurements, an analytical model and a fairness-based News Feed design. The model leverages the versatility and analytical tractability of time-to-live (TTL) counters to capture the visibility and occupancy of publishers over a News Feed. Measurements are used to parameterize and to validate the expressive power of the proposed model. Then, we conduct a what-if analysis to assess the visibility and occupancy bias incurred by users against a baseline derived from the model. Our results indicate that a significant bias exists and it is more prominent at the top position of the News Feed. In addition, we find that the bias is non-negligible even for users that are deliberately set as neutral with respect to their political views, motivating the proposal of a novel and more transparent fairness-based News Feed design.

Se presentan los hallazgos más relevantes que hacen pensar que la continua y exhaustiva práctica musical que los músicos profesionales realizan desde la infancia condiciona la morfología y funcionalidad de sus cerebros. Así, tanto la edad de comienzo de la actividad musical, como las horas que se invierten practicando, están relacionadas con las peculiaridades anatómicas que muestran en la madurez y sus habilidades musicales medidas psicométricamente. Actualmente no existen modelos suficientes que den cuenta de cómo se desarrolla y se lleva a cabo la actividad musical humana. Por ello se expone la necesidad, tanto de modelos explicativos de la misma, como de más investigaciones sobre el tema, para llegar a conocer cómo funciona dicha actividad musical.

description: We reexamine the prospects of searching for a neutral Higgs boson in the intermediate-mass range, using the proton- and ion-beam facilities of the LHC to study coherent two-photon processes. Considering realistic design luminosities for the different ion beams, we find that beams of light-to-medium size ions like calcium will give the highest production rates. With a suitable trigger and assuming a b-quark identification efficiency of $30\%$ and a $b{\bar b}$ mass resolution of 10 GeV one could expect to see a Higgs signal in the $b{\bar b}$ channel with a 3-4 $σ$ statistical significance in the first phase of operation of the LHC with beams of calcium.

description: This paper presents the analysis of Chandra X-ray snapshot observations of a subsample of the extragalactic sources listed in the revised Third Cambridge radio catalog (3CR), previously lacking X-ray observations and thus observed during Chandra Cycle 15. This data set extends the current Chandra coverage of the 3CR extragalactic catalog up to redshift $z$=1.0. Our sample includes 22 sources consisting of one compact steep spectrum (CSS) source, three quasars (QSOs), and 18 FR\,II radio galaxies. As in our previous analyses, here we report the X-ray detections of radio cores and extended structures (i.e., knots, hotspots and lobes) for all sources in the selected sample. We measured their X-ray intensities in three energy ranges: soft (0.5--1 keV), medium (1--2 keV) and hard (2-7 keV) and we also performed standard X-ray spectral analysis for brighter nuclei. All radio nuclei in our sample have an X-ray counterpart. We also discovered X-ray emission associated with the eastern knot of 3CR\,154, with radio hotspots in 3CR\,41, 3CR\,54 and 3CR\,225B and with the southern lobe of 3CR\,107. Extended X-ray radiation around the nuclei 3CR\,293.1 and 3CR\,323 on a scale of few tens kpc was also found. X-ray extended emission, potentially arising from the hot gas in the intergalactic medium and/or due to the high energy counterpart of lobes, is detected for 3CR\,93, 3CR\,154, 3CR\,292 and 3CR\, 323 over a few hundreds kpc-scale. Finally, this work also presents an update on the state-of-the-art of Chandra and XMM-Newton observations for the entire 3CR sample.

description: We construct a general QCD light front formalism to compute many-body color charge correlators in the proton. These form factors can be extracted from deeply inelastic scattering measurements of exclusive final states in analogy to electromagnetic form factors extracted in elastic electron scattering experiments. Particularly noteworthy is the potential to extract a novel Odderon form factor, either indirectly from exclusive $J/Ψ$ measurements, or directly from exclusive measurements of the $η_c$ or tensor mesons at large Bjorken x. Besides the intrinsic information conveyed by these color charge correlators on the spatio-temporal tomography at the sub-femtoscopic scale at large x, the corresponding cumulants extend the domain of validity of McLerran-Venugopalan type weight functionals from small x and large nuclei to nucleons and light nuclei at large $x$, as well as to non-zero momentum transfer. This may significantly reduce nonperturbative systematic uncertainties in the initial conditions for QCD evolution equations at small $x$ and could be of strong relevance for the phenomenology of present and future collider experiments.

description: A new light-front formulation of Q.E.D. is developed, within the framework of standard perturbation theory, in which $x^+$ plays the role of the evolution parameter and the gauge choice is $A_+=0$ (light-front "temporal" gauge). It is shown that this formulation leads to the Mandelstam-Leibbrandt causal prescription for the non-covariant singularities in the photon propagator. Furthermore, it is proved that the dimensionally regularized one loop off-shell amplitudes exactly coincide with the correct ones, as computed within the standard approach using ordinary space-time coordinates.

description: Loss allocation of the three different components (conductor, sheaths and armor) of solidly bonded three-core separated lead-sheathed armored cables, frequently employed in offshore wind farms, is challenging due to the lack of accurate enough analytical expressions in the IEC standard. Also, loss allocation through experimental tests leads to inaccurate results since it is based on questionable assumptions. This paper improves both the IEC formulae and experimental methods by means of different analytical corrections in the conductor and sheath loss expressions. To this aim, an ad hoc application interface (Virtual Lab) based on 3D numerical simulations (finite element method) has been developed. This tool virtualizes and automates different test setups to emulate, in few seconds, the most employed experimental procedures in this type of cable. The analytical corrections have been derived from an in-depth analysis of a first set of 368 cables, ranging from 30 to 275 kV. The new loss expressions were successfully applied to a second set of 645 armored cables of quite diverse features (voltages from 10 to 275 kV, sections and dimensional parameters), hence bringing a general framework for any kind of three-core armored cable.

description: When studying software engineering, learning to create UML diagrams is crucial. Similar to how an architect would never build a house without a building plan, designing software architectures is important for developing high-quality software. UML diagrams are a standardized notation for the visualization of software architectures and software behavior. The research question that inspired this work was how to effectively evaluate hand-drawn diagrams without relying on model parsers. The findings of this investigation are presented in this paper. This article discusses the systematic acquisition of skills required for creating UML diagrams. Especially well-formed activity diagrams are one highlight. Additionally, the paper provides a variety of exercises. The exercises use recommended question types. The more unusual question types are related to images, such as questions about image annotation, finding hotspots on an image and positioning a target on an image. All the demonstrated exercises are suitable for both digital and handwritten training or exams.

description: The famous "two-fold cost of sex" is really the cost of anisogamy -- why should females mate with males who do not contribute resources to offspring, rather than isogamous partners who contribute equally? In typical anisogamous populations, a single very fit male can have an enormous number of offspring, far larger than is possible for any female or isogamous individual. If the sexual selection on males aligns with the natural selection on females, anisogamy thus allows much more rapid adaptation via super-successful males. We show via simulations that this effect can be sufficient to overcome the two-fold cost and maintain anisogamy against isogamy in populations adapting to environmental change. The key quantity is the variance in male fitness -- if this exceeds what is possible in an isogamous population, anisogamous populations can win out in direct competition by adapting faster.

description: We show that coronal magnetic dissipation in thin active sheets that sandwich standard thin accretion disks in active galactic nuclei may account for canonical electron temperatures of a few $\times 10^9$K if protons acquire most of the dissipated energy. Coulomb collisions transfer energy from the ions to the electrons, which subsequently cool rapidly by inverse-Compton scattering. In equilibrium, the proton energy density likely exceeds that of the magnetic field and both well exceed the electron and photon energy densities. The Coulomb energy transfer from protons to electrons is slow enough to maintain a high proton temperature, but fast enough to explain observed rapid X-ray variabilities in Seyferts. The $\sim 10^9$K electron temperature is insensitive to the proton temperature when the latter is $\ge 10^{12}$K.

From a sample of 77 flare/CME cases, we found a general relation that degree of non-potentiality is positively correlated with the flare strength and the associated CME speeds. Since the magnetic flux in the flare-ribbon area is more related to the reconnection, we trace the strong gradient polarity inversion line (SGPIL), Schrijver's R value manually along the flare-ribbon extent. Manually detected SGPIL length and R values show higher correlation with the flare strength and CME speed than the automatically traced values without flare-ribbon information. It highlights the difficulty of predicting the flare strength and CME speed a priori from the pre-flare magnetograms used in flare prediction models. Although the total, potential magnetic energy proxies show weak positive correlation, the decrease in free energy exhibits higher correlation (0.56) with the flare strength and CME speed. Moreover, the eruptive flares have threshold of SGPIL length (31Mm), R value ($1.6\times10^{19}$Mx), free-energy decrease ($2\times10^{31}$erg) compared to confined ones. In 90\% eruptive flares, the decay-index curve is steeper reaching $n_{crit}=1.5$ within 42Mm, whereas it is beyond 42Mm in $>70$% confined flares. While indicating the improved statistics in the predictive capability of the AR eruptive behavior with the flare-ribbon information, our study provides threshold magnetic properties for a flare to be eruptive.

description: The energy dependence of $90^o$ $cm$ fixed angle scattering of $πp \to π' p'$ and $γp\to π^+ n$ at large momentum transfer are found to be well described in terms of interfering short and long distance amplitudes with dynamical phases induced by Sudakov effects. We calculate the color transparency ratio for the corresponding processes in nuclear environments $πA\to π'p(A-1)$ and $γA\to πN (A-1)$ taking nuclear filtering into account. A prediction that the transparency ratio for these reactions will oscillate with energy provides an important test of the Sudakov phase shift and nuclear filtering hypothesis which is testable in upcoming experiments.

description: We derive NUV luminosity functions for 6471 NUV detected galaxies in 28 $0.02 < z < 0.08$ clusters and consider their dependence on cluster properties. We consider optically red and blue galaxies and explore how their NUV LFs vary in several cluster subsamples, selected to best show the influence of environment. Our composite LF is well fit by the Schechter form with $M^*_{NUV}=-18.98 \pm 0.07$ and $α=-1.87 \pm 0.03$ in good agreement with values for the Coma centre and the Shapley supercluster, but with a steeper slope and brighter $L^*$ than in Virgo. The steep slope is due to the contribution of massive quiescent galaxies that are faint in the NUV. There are significant differences in the NUV LFs for clusters having low and high X-ray luminosities and for sparse and dense clusters, though none are particularly well fitted by the Schechter form, making a physical interpretation of the parameters difficult. When splitting clusters into two subsamples by X-ray luminosity, the ratio of low to high NUV luminosity galaxies is higher in the high X-ray luminosity subsample (i.e the luminosity function is steeper across the sampled luminosity range). In subsamples split by surface density, when characterised by Schechter functions the dense clusters have an $M^*$ about a magnitude fainter than that of the sparse clusters and $α$ is steeper ($-1.9$ vs. $-1.6$ respectively). The differences in the data appear to be driven by changes in the LF of blue (star-forming) galaxies. This appears to be related to interactions with the cluster gas [abridged]

description: We performed $^{75}$As-NMR measurements in $H\parallel ab$ to investigate the normal-state magnetic properties of CeRh$_2$As$_2$, a recently-discovered heavy-fermion superconductor. We compared the NMR Knight shift $K$ with the magnetic susceptibility $χ_{ab}$, and estimated the hyperfine coupling constant $A_{\mathrm{hf}}$ from the slope of the $K-χ$ plot. We observed that the magnitude of $A_{\mathrm{hf},ab}$ at the As(1) site changes at around 20 K owing to emerging the heavy-fermion state, which was also observed in $A_{\mathrm{hf}}$ at the As(2) site and in $H\parallel c$. The sign of $A_{\mathrm{hf},ab}$ at the As(1) site is negative in low temperature. These are important for the analysis of the NMR results of CeRh$_2$As$_2$ in the superconducting state.

The Most Massive Early-type Galaxies Exhibit Tidal Features More Frequently in Lower-density Environments

description: The most massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) are known to form through numerous galaxy mergers. Thus, it is intriguing to study whether their formation in low-density environments, where nearby companions are almost absent, is associated with mergers, which are directly traced by tidal features. Using the 436 most massive ETGs with $M_\mathrm{star}>10^{11.2}\,M_{\odot}$ at $z<0.04$, we determine the variation in the fraction of massive ETGs with tidal features ($f_T$) across different environments and verify whether the most massive ETGs commonly have tidal features in very low density environments. Our main discovery is that the most massive ETGs exhibit tidal features more frequently in lower-density environments. In the highest-density environments, like galaxy clusters, $f_T$ is $0.21\pm0.06$, while in the lowest-density environments it triples to $0.62\pm0.06$. This trend is stronger for more extremely massive ETGs, with $f_T$ reaching $0.92\pm0.08$ in the lowest-density environments. One explanation for our finding is that the most massive ETGs in lower-density environments have genuinely experienced recent mergers more frequently than their counterparts in higher-density environments, suggesting that they possess extended formation histories that continue into the present. Another possibility is that tidal features last shorter in denser environments owing to external factors inherent in these environments. Our additional findings that massive ETGs with bluer $u-r$ colors are a more dominant driver of our main discovery and that dust lanes are more commonly observed in massive ETGs in low-density environments imply that gas-abundant mergers primarily contribute to the increased rate of recent mergers in low-density environments.

Complexity of products: the effect of data regularisation

description: Among several developments, the field of Economic Complexity (EC) has notably seen the introduction of two new techniques. One is the Bootstrapped Selective Predictability Scheme (SPSb), which can provide quantitative forecasts of the Gross Domestic Product of countries. The other, Hidden Markov Model (HMM) regularisation, denoises the datasets typically employed in the literature. We contribute to EC along three different directions. First, we prove the convergence of the SPSb algorithm to a well-known statistical learning technique known as Nadaraya-Watson Kernel regression. The latter has significantly lower time complexity, produces deterministic results, and it is interchangeable with SPSb for the purpose of making predictions. Second, we study the effects of HMM regularization on the Product Complexity and logPRODY metrics, for which a model of time evolution has been recently proposed. We find confirmation for the original interpretation of the logPRODY model as describing the change in the global market structure of products with new insights allowing a new interpretation of the Complexity measure, for which we propose a modification. Third, we explore new effects of regularisation on the data. We find that it reduces noise, and observe for the first time that it increases nestedness in the export network adjacency matrix.
