The Sfiral Language as a Tool for Transcending Binary Perception
Creators: name: Басаргин, Олег Сергеевич
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study explores the Sfiral device as a language of multidimensionality capable of transcending the limitations of flat perception, as described in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. The light-shadows (sfirals) produced by the device are interpreted as symbols that find parallels in ancient scripts, including Cherokee, Bukvitsa, Sumerian cuneiform, Rongorongo, and Jiaguwen. Deciphering these symbols enables a transcendence of binary logic, deeply rooted in consciousness, society, and technology, leading to a multidimensional reality where time, consciousness, and culture converge in harmonious unity. The study demonstrates the potential of the Sfiral language for developing new technologies, such as a convergent programming language, and its application in biology through the Sfiral DNA concept. The findings underscore the need for further research to realize the transition to a new reality, termed the New Earth and New Heaven.
Realistic 3D Modeling and Virtual Fitting Room
Creators: name: Daneshmand, Morteza
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2020
Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: Most of the previously proposed image processing methods have failed to accurately model the human body realistically , especially, when it comes to 3D modeling of the whole human body, requiring large amount of data and calculations, which is, mainly, due to their lack of competence to take the simultaneous variations in the body surface into account properly. Besides, the foregoing techniques, mostly, do not render realistic movement representations in real-time. This project intends to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings so as to satisfy the requirements of a virtual fitting room. The proposed methodology consists in scanning and performing some analysis on both the user's body and the prospective garment to be virtually fitted, modeling, extracting measurements and assigning reference points on them and segmenting the 3D visual data imported from the mannequins, and finally, superimposing, adopting and depicting the resulting garment model on the user's body.

description: A unified description of multitime correlation functions, nonlinear response functions, and quantum measurements is developed using a common generating function which allows a direct comparison of their information content. A general formal expression for photon counting statistics from single quantum objects is derived in terms of Liouville space correlation functions of the material system by making a single assumption that spontaneous emission is described by a master equation.

description: We study theoretically the spin-orbit interaction of low-energy electrons in semiconducting nanowires with a zinc-blende lattice. The effective Dresselhaus term is derived for various growth directions, including <11(-2)>-oriented nanowires. While a specific configuration exists where the Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling is suppressed even at confinement potentials of low symmetry, many configurations allow for a strong Dresselhaus coupling. In particular, we discuss qualitative and quantitative results for nanowire cross-sections modeled after sectors of rings or circles. The parameter dependence is analyzed in detail, enabling predictions for a large variety of setups. For example, we gain insight into the spin-orbit coupling in recently fabricated GaAs-InAs nanomembrane-nanowire structures. By combining the effective Dresselhaus and Rashba terms, we find that such structures are promising platforms for applications where an electrically controllable spin-orbit interaction is needed. If the nanowire cross-section is scaled down and InAs replaced by InSb, remarkably high Dresselhaus-based spin-orbit energies of the order of millielectronvolt are expected. A Rashba term that is similar to the effective Dresselhaus term can be induced via electric gates, providing means to switch the spin-orbit interaction on and off. By varying the central angle of the circular sector, we find, among other things, that particularly strong Dresselhaus couplings are possible when nanowire cross-sections resemble half-disks.

description: We define a general class of (multiple) integrals of hypergeometric type associated with the Jacobi theta functions. These integrals are related to theta hypergeometric series through the residue calculus. In the one variable case, we get theta function extensions of the Meijer function. A number of multiple generalizations of the elliptic beta integral [S2] associated with the root systems $A_n$ and $C_n$ is described. Some of the $C_n$-examples were proposed earlier by van Diejen and the author, but other integrals are new. An example of the biorthogonality relations associated with the elliptic beta integrals is considered in detail.

description: We present some Zermelo-Fraenkel consistency results regarding bi-orderability of groups, as well as a construction of groups with Conradian orders whose every action on metric spaces has bounded orbits. A classical consequence of the ultrafilter lemma is that a group is bi-orderable if and only if it is locally bi-orderable. We show that there exists a model of ZF in which there is a group which is locally free (ergo locally bi-orderable) and not bi-orderable, and the group can be given a total order. Such a group can also exist in the presence of the principle of dependent choices. Comparable consistency results are provided for torsion-free abelian groups.

description: In supersymmetry (SUSY) the flavor mixing between top-squark (stop) and charm-squark (scharm) induces the flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) stop decay $\tilde t_1 \to c \tilde χ^0_1$. Searching for this decay serves as a probe of soft SUSY breaking parameters. Focusing on the stop pair production followed by the FCNC decay of one stop and the charge-current decay of the other stop, we investigate the potential of detecting this FCNC stop decay at the Fermilab Tevatron, the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the next-generation $e^+e^-$ linear collider (LC). We find that this decay may not be accessible at the Tevatron, but could be observable at the LHC and the LC with high sensitivity.

Kinematic Sensitivity Analysis of Parallel Mechanisms by Considering the Effect of Uncertainties in Passive Joints
Creators: name: Daneshmand, Morteza
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Mechanical Engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: The sensitivity of the moving platform of parallel mechanisms to the uncertainties in the design and control stages is of paramount importance. The mechanism has to be designed such that the negative effect of the foregoing errors is minimized. The latter issue has encouraged many researchers to derive and propose relevant indices being responsible for outputting a metric representing the kinetostatic performance of parallel mechanisms. Most of such indices entail severe drawbacks in the sense of leading to physically inapplicable interpretation, which was considerably alleviated by the emergence of kinematic sensitivity. Nevertheless, none of the studies heretofore has investigated the influence of the uncertainties in the passive joints on the kinetostatic performance. In other words, the assumption has always been that the aforementioned errors are negligible. This paper proposes a novel formulation for the kinematic sensitivity index, which, apart from that of the active joints, takes the effect of the uncertainties in the passive joints into account, and brings about the advantage that the mechanism can be optimized and improved in terms of kinetostatic performance, together with the workspace. The formulation, for the sake of illustration and verification, is also applied to the 4-bar linkage and 3-RPR parallel mechanisms, as well as the Tripteron robot. The results of the implementation of the proposed kinematic sensitivity index, which takes the effect of the uncertainties in the passive joints into account, show that the values associated with the case-studies considered in this paper fall within the intervals 1-2.4, 0.1-0.9 and 0.6-2.2, respectively.

 Paratypes (2♀). See Appendix 1.
 Diagnosis. Chlamydastis mignondavisae is most similar to C. bernardoespinozai in facies and female genitalia (the male of C. mignondavisae is unknown). The forewing has a bold brown dash in the discal cell (rather than a slender line as in most members of the species group), terminating at a white dot, and a comma-shaped median fascia extending from midwing to the tornus. It can be distinguished from C. bernardoespinozai by its whiter ground color, slightly greater forewing length, and the slightly different shape of the signum in the female genitalia.
 Description. MALE. Unknown.
 FEMALE (Fig. 11). Head. Frons, vertex and collar white; labial palpus white to cream intermixed with brownish scales, second segment with an irregular brownish lateral band reaching ca. 0.5 length of segment, third segment with brown scales at base; sensory setae of antenna short, sparse. Thorax. Dorsum and tegula cream to white. FW length 12.5–13.0 mm; FW white with irregular pale gray striations; a distinct black dash through middle of discal cell ending in a white dot; a slightly paler, comma-shaped patch from hind margin near tornus extending to outer margin of white dot at end of discal cell; two brown spots along costa, 0.4 and 0.8 distance from wing base to apex, distal spot larger; small, brown, subrectangular patch in termen near tornus. HW pale grayish brown. Abdomen. Externally cream. Genitalia (Fig. 95) with papillae anales somewhat parallel-sided; ductus bursae short, ca. 0.3 as long as corpus bursae, gradually broadened throughout, with irregular patch of sclerotization occupying posterior 0.6; corpus bursae rounded, signum a broad, somewhat rounded plate, divided medially by a slender, uninterrupted line of sclerotization.
 DNA barcodes. There are no sequence data available for this species.
 Distribution. Chlamydastis mignondavisae has been collected only in Turrialba at 630 m elevation.
 Biology. The food plant and immature stages are unknown.
 Etymology. Chlamydastis mignondavisae is a patronym for Mignon Davis in recognition of her contributions to the knowledge of the Lepidoptera of Costa Rica through her involvement in the ALAS (Arthropods of La Selva) project.

title: A mechanistic and a probabilistic model for predicting and analyzing microbiologically influenced corrosion
Creators: name: Dawuda, Abdul-Waris
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2019

description: The complexities inherent in Microbiological Influenced Corrosion (MIC) requires a thorough understanding of the mechanisms involved when attempting to predict its rate. Even though mechanistic models have been developed in recent MIC studies, these models rarely analyze factors influencing pit depth and corrosion rate predicted. The objective of this work is to improve MIC prediction by quantitatively analyzing the factors influencing the predicted pit depth and corrosion rates. Therefore, this work presents a mechanistic and a probabilistic model which predicts corrosion rates, pit depth propagation, and analyzing influential factors in a MIC process. The mechanistic approach presents a model based on the direct contact extracellular electron transfer mechanism and nutrient limitation for microbial metabolism. The mechanistic model investigates the impact of redox intermediaries embedded in the cell structure of electroactive biofilms on corrosion rates. The mechanistic model also analyzes the effect of biofilm thickness limiting nutrient availability for corrosive microbiological organisms. The probabilistic approach presents a Bayesian network model which predicts the maximum corrosion rate in a process system. The probabilistic model analyzes the most critical factors affecting the corrosion rate predicted using Importance and Sensitivity analysis. The predictions obtained by both models were consistent with MIC rates in case studies and experimental studies. We also discovered that, redox properties of electroactive biofilms pose a significant threat to asset integrity as opposed to corrosion caused by sulfate reduction, in the case of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB).

description: We present an empirical method to measure the halo mass function (HMF) of galaxies. We determine the relation between the \hi\ line-width from single-dish observations and the dark matter halo mass ($M_{200}$) inferred from rotation curve fits in the SPARC database, then we apply this relation to galaxies from the \hi\ Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) to derive the HMF. This empirical HMF is well fit by a Schecther function, and matches that expected in $Λ$CDM over the range $10^{10.5} < M_{200} < 10^{12}\;\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$. More massive halos must be poor in neutral gas to maintain consistency with the power law predicted by $Λ$CDM. We detect no discrepancy at low masses. The lowest halo mass probed by HIPASS, however, is just greater than the mass scale where the Local Group missing satellite problem sets in. The integrated mass density associated with the dark matter halos of \hi-detected galaxies sums to $Ω_{\rm m,gal} \approx 0.03$ over the probed mass range.

description: We examine the large sample of lambda Boo candidates collected in Table 1 of Gerbaldi et al. (2003) to see how many of them show composite spectra. Of the 132 lambda Boo candidates we identify 22 which definitely show composite spectra and 15 more for which there are good reasons to suspect a composite spectrum. The percentage of lambda Boo candidates with composite spectra is therefore > 17 and possibly considerably higher. For such stars the lambda Boo classification should be reconsidered taking into account the fact that their spectra are composite. We argue that some of the underabundances reported in the literature may simply be the result of the failure to consider the composite nature of the spectra. This leads to the legitimate suspicion that some, if not all, the lambda Boo candidates are not chemically peculiar at all. A thorough analysis of even a single one of the lambda Boo candidates with composite spectra, in which the composite nature of the spectrum is duly considered, which would demonstrate that the chemical peculiarities persist, would clear the doubt we presently have that the stars with composite spectra may not be lambda Boo at all.

description: Interaction between hippocampal sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) and UP states, possibly by coordinated reactivation of memory traces, is conjectured to play an important role in memory consolidation. Recently, it was reported that SWRs were differentiated into multiple subtypes. However, whether cortical UP states can also be classified into subtypes is not known. Here, we analysed neural ensemble activity from the medial prefrontal cortex from rats trained to run a spatial sequence-memory task. Application of the hidden Markov model (HMM) with three states to epochs of UP-DOWN oscillations identified DOWN states and two subtypes of UP state (UP-1 and UP-2). The two UP subtypes were distinguished by differences in duration, with UP-1 having a longer duration than UP-2, as well as differences in the speed of population vector (PV) decorrelation, with UP-1 decorrelating more slowly than UP-2. Reactivation of recent memory sequences predominantly occurred in UP-2. Short-duration reactivating UP states were dominated by UP-2 whereas long-duration ones exhibit transitions from UP-1 to UP-2. Thus, recent memory reactivation, if it occurred within long-duration UP states, typically was preceded by a period of slow PV evolution not related to recent experience, and which we speculate may be related to previously encoded information. If that is the case, then the transition from UP-1 to UP-2 subtypes may help gradual integration of recent experience with pre-existing cortical memories by interleaving the two in the same UP state.’This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue ‘Memory reactivation: replaying events past, present and future'.

The first paper is an original patient initiated cross-sectional study of the support group Arbeitskreis der Pankreatektomierten e.V. (AdP). The authors built a medical database for the AdP and analyzed the results of the AdP members who had undergone pancreatic surgery. We found that following complex pancreatic surgery, patients are confronted with daily lifelong challenges including exocrine, endocrine and weight problems. Individuals affected by pancreatic disease could be an important but underutilized resource to studying these diseases.

The second paper is an interesting case reporting on an intrapancreatic accessory spleen which mimicked a neuroendocrine neoplasia on the 68Ga-DOTA-TOC-PET/CT.

description: The decays of $B$ mesons to a charmless vector ($V$) and pseudoscalar ($P$) meson are analyzed within a framework of flavor SU(3) in which symmetry breaking is taken into account through ratios of decay constants in tree ($T$) amplitudes. The magnitudes and relative phases of tree and penguin amplitudes are extracted from data; the symmetry assumption is tested; and predictions are made for rates and CP asymmetries in as-yet-unseen decay modes. A key assumption for which we perform some tests and suggest others is a relation between penguin amplitudes in which the spectator quark is incorporated into either a pseudoscalar meson or a vector meson. Values of $γ$ slightly restricting the range currently allowed by fits to other data are favored, but outside this range there remain acceptable solutions which cannot be excluded solely on the basis of present $B \to VP$ experiments.

description: Field-theoretical calculations performed in an approximation scheme often present a spurious dependence of physical quantities on some unphysical parameters associated with the details of the calculation setup (such as, the renormalization scheme or, in perturbation theory, the resummation procedure). In the present article, we propose to reduce this dependence by invoking conformal invariance. Using as a benchmark the three-dimensional Ising model, we show that, within the derivative expansion at order 4, performed in the nonperturbative renormalization group formalism, the identity associated with this symmetry is not exactly satisfied. The calculations which best satisfy this identity are shown to yield critical exponents which coincide to a high accuracy with those obtained by the conformal bootstrap.

description: Using a large acceptance calorimeter and a stopped pion beam we have made a precise measurement of the rare Pi+ -> Pi0 e+ Nu,(pi_beta) decay branching ratio. We have evaluated the branching ratio by normalizing the number of observed pi_beta decays to the number of observed Pi+ -> e+ Nu, (pi_{e2}) decays. We find the value of Gamma(Pi+ -> Pi0 e+ Nu)/Gamma(total) = [1.036 +/- 0.004(stat.) +/- 0.004(syst.) +/- 0.003(pi_{e2})] x 10^{-8}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third is the pi_{e2} branching ratio uncertainty. Our result agrees well with the Standard Model prediction.

On the possibility of measuring the solar oblateness and some relativistic effects from planetary ranging

description: In this paper we first calculate the post-Newtonian gravitoelectric secular rate of the mean anomaly of a test particle freely orbiting a spherically symmetric central mass. Then, we propose a novel approach to suitably combine the presently available planetary ranging data to Mercury, Venus and Mars in order to determine, simultaneously and independently of each other, the Sun's quadrupole mass moment J_2 and the secular advances of the perihelion and the mean anomaly. This would also allow to obtain the PPN parameters gamma and beta independently. We propose to analyze the time series of three linear combinations of the experimental residuals of the rates of the nodes, the longitudes of perihelia and mean anomalies of Mercury, Venus and Mars built up in order to absorb the secular precessions induced by the solar oblateness and the post-Newtonian gravitoelectric forces. The values of the three investigated parameters can be obtained by fitting the expected linear trends with straight lines, determining their slopes in arcseconds per century and suitably normalizing them. According to the present-day EPM2000 ephemerides accuracy, the obtainable precision would be of the order of 10^-4-10^-5 for the PPN parameters and, more interestingly, of 10^-9 for J_2. The future BepiColombo mission should improve the Mercury's orbit by one order of magnitude.

description: Scattered light high-resolution imaging of the proto-planetary disc orbiting HD100453 shows two symmetric spiral arms, possibly launched by an external stellar companion. In this paper we present new, sensitive high-resolution ($\sim$30 mas) Band 7 ALMA observations of this source. This is the first source where we find counterparts in the sub-mm continuum to both scattered light spirals. The CO J=3-2 emission line also shows two spiral arms; in this case they can be traced over a more extended radial range, indicating that the southern spiral arm connects to the companion position. This is clear evidence that the companion is responsible for launching the spirals. The pitch angle of the sub-millimeter continuum spirals ($\sim 6 ^{\circ}$) is lower than the one in scattered light ($\sim 16 ^{\circ}$). We show that hydrodynamical simulations of binary-disc interaction can account for the difference in pitch angle only if one takes into account that the midplane is colder than the upper layers of the disc, as expected for the case of externally irradiated discs.

description: The origin of Ultra--High Energy ($E \gsim 10^{20}$ eV) Cosmic Rays (UHECR) remains mysterious. I discuss ``top--down'' models, where UHECR originate from the decay of very massive, long--lived particles. I summarize the calculation of the spectrum of decay products, discuss possible problems with this scenario, and describe ways to test it by searching for very energetic neutrinos and neutralinos.

description: We report ultrasound beam steering based on 2D and 3D flattened acoustic metamaterial Luneburg lenses at 40 kHz. The effective properties of the lenses are obtained by using the quasi-conformal transformation (QCT) technique and solving the Laplace equation with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. A 2D lens and a 3D lens were designed and fabricated. The numerical and experimental results with these lenses demonstrate excellent beam steering performance of ultrasonic waves in both near field and far field.

description: We study the space ${\mathcal X}^{d}(G)$ of pictures of a graph $G$ in complex projective $d$-space. The main result is that the homology groups (with integer coefficients) of ${\mathcal X}^{d}(G)$ are completely determined by the Tutte polynomial of $G$. One application is a criterion in terms of the Tutte polynomial for independence in the {\it $d$-parallel matroids} studied in combinatorial rigidity theory. For certain special graphs called \defterm{orchards}, the picture space is smooth and has the structure of an iterated projective bundle. We give a Borel presentation of the cohomology ring of the picture space of an orchard, and use this presentation to develop an analogue of the classical Schubert calculus.

Multi-planet disc interactions in binary systems

description: We investigate the evolution of a multi--planet--disc system orbiting one component of a binary star system. The planet--disc system is initially coplanar but misaligned to the binary orbital plane. The planets are assumed to be giants that open gaps in the disc. We first study the role of the disc in shaping the mutual evolution of the two planets using a secular model for low initial tilt. In general we find that the planets and the disc do not remain coplanar, in agreement with Lubow & Martin (2016) for the single planet case. Instead, the planets and the disc undergo tilt oscillations. A high mass disc between the two planets causes the planets and the disc to nodally precess at the same average rate but they are generally misaligned. The amplitude of the tilt oscillations between the planets is larger while the disc is present. We then consider higher initial tilts using hydrodynamical simulations and explore the possibility of the formation of eccentric Kozai-Lidov (KL) planets. We find that the inner planet's orbit undergoes eccentricity growth for a large range of disc masses and initial misalignments. For a low disc mass and large initial misalignment both planets and the disc can undergo KL oscillations. Furthermore, we find that sufficiently massive discs can cause the inner planet to increase its inclination beyond $90^{\circ}$ and therefore to orbit the binary in a retrograde fashion. The results have important implications for the explanation of very eccentric planets and retrograde planets observed in multi-planet systems.

description: Oxygen exhibits structural phase transformation from non-metallic $ε$-O2 phase into metallic $ζ$-O2 phase at pressure of P = 96 GPa (Desgreniers et al 1990 J. Phys. Chem. 94 1117; Akahama et al 1995 Phys. Rev. Lett. 74 4690). Metallic $ζ$-O2 phase is a superconductor with transition temperature of Tc = 0.6 K at P = 115-120 GPa (Shimizu et al 1998 Nature 393 767). In this paper we have performed analysis of temperature dependent upper critical field, Bc2(T), for $ζ$-O2 phase (P = 115 GPa) and show that this highly-compressed phase of gaseous molecular element is unconventional superconductor with the ratio of Tc to the Fermi temperature, Tf, in the range of 0.009 < Tc/Tf < 0.108.

description: The purpose of this paper is to examine the sources of economic growth for the ECOWAS countries and to disentangle the relative contribution of each source. Malmquist Productivity Index decomposition is used to distinguish between technical efficiency versus technological change. In addition, an OLS and panel regression is used to estimate the contribution of various sources of growth to increases in GDP per capita. The paper concludes that 1) there was a modest increase in Productivity Index in ECOWAS countries (11.1% between 1981 and 2015) and 2) both factor accumulation and total factor productivity drive the economic growth with technological change and efficiency change being significantly greater contributors.
Bulk Kalb-Ramond field in Randall Sundrum scenario

description: We have considered the most general gauge invariant five-dimensional action of a second rank antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond tensor gauge theory, including a topological term of the form $ε^{ABLMN}B_{AB}H_{LMN}$ in a Randall-Sundrum scenario. Such a tensor field $B_{AB}$ (whose rank-3 field strength tensor is $H_{LMN}$), which appears in the massless sector of a heterotic string theory, is assumed to coexist with the gravity in the bulk. The third rank field strength corresponding to the Kalb-Ramond field has a well-known geometric interpretation as the spacetime torsion. The only non-trivial classical solutions corresponding to the effective four-dimensional action are found to be self-dual or anti-selfdual Kalb-Ramond fields. This ensures that the four-dimensional effective action on the brane is parity-conserving. The massive modes for both cases, lying in the TeV range, are related to the fundamental parameters of the theory. These modes can be within the kinematic reach of forthcoming TeV scale experiments. However, the couplings of the massless as well as massive Kalb-Ramond modes with matter on the visible brane are found to be suppressed vis-a-vis that of the graviton by the warp factor, whence the conclusion is that both the massless and the massive torsion modes appear much weaker than curvature to an observer on the visible brane.
