description: Characteristic modes of a spherical shell are found analytically as spherical harmonics normalized to radiate unitary power and to fulfill specific boundary conditions. The presented closed-form formulas lead to a proposal of precise synthetic benchmarks which can be utilized to validate the method of moments matrix or performance of characteristic mode decomposition. Dependence on the mesh size, electrical size and other parameters can systematically be studied, including the performance of various mode tracking algorithms. A noticeable advantage is the independence on feeding models. Both theoretical and numerical aspects of characteristic mode decomposition are discussed and illustrated by examples. The performance of state-of-the-art commercial simulators and academic packages having been investigated, we can conclude that all contemporary implementations are capable of identifying the first dominant modes while having severe difficulties with higher-order modes. Surprisingly poor performance of the tracking routines is observed notwithstanding the recent ambitious development.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The assessment of predation on target species is important when placing fisheries in their ecosystem context. We estimate coefficients of predation mortality (M2) for red squat lobster (Pleuroncodes monodon) and yellow squat lobster (Cervimunida johni), based on results of four multi-species models (31 functional groups) describing the central Chile marine ecosystem (33-39°S) in years 1992, 1998, 2000 and 2002. Besides, we simulate the trend in biomass of these stocks under the following levels in fishing mortality (F; year-1) from 2003 onwards: F = 0.0; 0.05; 0.10; 0.15; and 0.20, using the same models and the Ecopath with Ecosim software. Each fishing scenario is evaluated considering the following increases in M2 respect to M2 in year 2002: 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 50%. Results indicate that M2 is the main source of mortality in both stocks, mainly due predation by common hake (Merluccius gayi), and that F represents only a small part of total mortality.

Predictions of the Quantum Landscape Multiverse

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The 2015 Planck data release has placed tight constraints on the class of in ationary models allowed. The current best fit region favors concave downwards in ationary potentials, since they produce a suppressed tensor to scalar index ratio r. Concave downward potentials have a negative curvature V"<0, therefore a tachyonic mass square that drives fluctuations. Furthermore, their use can become problematic if the field rolls in a part of the potential away from the extrema, since the semiclassical approximation of quantum cosmology, used for deriving the most probable wavefunction of the universe from the landscape and for addressing the quantum to classical transition, breaks down away from the steepest descent region. We here propose a way of dealing with such potentials by inverting the metric signature and solving for the wavefunction of the universe in the Euclidean sector. This method allows us to extend our theory of the origin of the universe from a quantum multiverse, to a more general class of concave inflationary potentials where a straightforward application of the semiclassical approximation fails. The work here completes the derivation of modifications to the Newtonian potential and to the inflationary potential, which originate from the quantum entanglement of our universe with all others in the quantum landscape multiverse, leading to predictions of observational signatures for both types of in ationary models, concave and convex potentials.

Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Various international agreements including the Bergen declaration and the revised CFP call for an ecosystem approach to fisheries. This is often interpreted as a need to consider the impacts of fishing on other ecosystem components – birds, marine mammals. Recent analysis of the performance of ICES fisheries predictions have shown a good track record for single stock models but one area that has been highlighted where improvements could be made is in the consideration of the external, environmental drivers on recruitment, growth and survivorship. This paper considers how these various ecosystem issues might be incorporated into the ICES advisory framework and briefly comments on the changes in data needs that this implies.

description: The high-resolution echelle spectrograph UVES of the Very Large Telescope at Cerro Paranal in Chile has been regularly operated since April 2000. Thus, UVES archival data originally taken for astronomical projects but also including sky emission can be used to study airglow variations on a time scale longer than a solar cycle. Focusing on OH emission and observations until March 2015, we considered about 3,000 high-quality spectra from two instrumental set-ups centred on 760 and 860 nm, which cover about 380 nm each. These data allowed us to measure line intensities for several OH bands in order to derive band intensities and rotational temperatures for different upper vibrational levels as a function of solar activity and observing date. The results were compared with those derived from emission and temperature profile data of the radiometer SABER on the TIMED satellite taken in the Cerro Paranal area between 2002 and 2015. In agreement with the SABER data, the long-term variations in OH intensity and temperature derived from the UVES data are dominated by the solar cycle, whereas secular trends appear to be negligible. Combining the UVES and SABER results, the solar cycle effects for the OH intensity and temperature are about 12 to 17% and 4 to 5 K per 100 sfu and do not significantly depend on the selected OH band. The data also reveal that variations of the effective OH emission layer height and air density can cause significant changes in the OH rotational temperatures due to a varying ratio of OH thermalising collisions by air molecules and OH radiation, deactivation, and destruction processes which impede the rotational relaxation. However, this effect appears to be of minor importance for the explanation of the rotational temperature variations related to the solar activity cycle, which causes only small changes in the OH emission profile.

description: Two novel cationic Gemini surfactants (2CnGeQS, n = 12, 18) was designed and prepared via amidation and quaternization reaction. The molecular structure of the 2CnGeQS was confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of aqueous solutions of these surfactants was determined by surface tension measurements, and the surface activity parameter, such as effectiveness (πCMC), efficiency (pC20), critical micelle concentration (CMC), maximum surface excess (Гmax), minimum surface area (Amin), were obtained. The results showed that 2CnGeQS have a higher surface activity than conventional monomeric surfactant. The CMC decreases with an increment in hydrophobic chain length, however, the surface tension at the cmc (γCMC) shows the opposite trend. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that both micellization and adsorption processes of 2CnGeQS were spontaneous. In addition, the results obtained from weight loss measurements show that 2CnGeQS exhibits a greater protective effect than that of DTAB; inhibition efficiency (ηw%) of 2C12GeQS, 2C18GeQS%, and DTAB is 95.6%, 96.86%, and 52.8% for A3 carbon steel at 1 × 10−3 M.

description: It is known that connected translation invariant $n$-dimensional noncommutative differentials $d x^i$ on the algebra $k[x^1,\cdots,x^n]$ of polynomials in $n$-variables over a field $k$ are classified by commutative algebras $V$ on the vector space spanned by the coordinates. This data also applies to construct differentials on the Heisenberg algebra `spacetime' with relations $[x^μ,x^ν]=λΘ^{μν}$ where $ Θ$ is an antisymmetric matrix as well as to Lie algebras with pre-Lie algebra structures. We specialise the general theory to the field $k={\ \mathbb{F}}_2$ of two elements, in which case translation invariant metrics (i.e. with constant coefficients) are equivalent to making $V$ a Frobenius algebras. We classify all of these and their quantum Levi-Civita bimodule connections for $n=2,3$, with partial results for $n=4$. For $n=2$ we find 3 inequivalent differential structures admitting 1,2 and 3 invariant metrics respectively. For $n=3$ we find 6 differential structures admitting $0,1,2,3,4,7$ invariant metrics respectively. We give some examples for $n=4$ and general $n$. Surprisingly, not all our geometries for $n\ge 2$ have zero quantum Riemann curvature. Quantum gravity is normally seen as a weighted `sum' over all possible metrics but our results are a step towards a deeper approach in which we must also `sum' over differential structures. Over ${\mathbb{F}}_2$ we construct some of our algebras and associated structures by digital gates, opening up the possibility of `digital geometry'.

The Arab Republic of Egypt and the Coptic Orthodox population
Creators: name: Kelada, Meriam
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: This essay explores the persecution of the Coptic Orthodox people of Egypt, and how it impacts the government’s ability to thrive as a Democratic Republic. The Egyptian government defines itself as an Arab Republic, but does not completely practice secularism. The Egyptian constitution, states Islam as the religion of the state and the principles of Islamic Sharia are the principle source of legislation. This capstone analyzes the historical marginalization of Coptic Egyptians supported by mass conversion, violence, erasure of language, and seizure of property which all directly contribute to the continuing persecution of this set of the population. This paper will discuss the need for secularization by discussing the marginalization of Coptic Christians in modern Egypt beginning with Anwar Sadat’s presidency to post revolution Egypt. It will also explore the failures of Mubarak’s administration and how the marginalization of Coptic Christians contributed to the government’s downfall. This essay will then explore the conditions of post-revolutionary Egypt, and the repetition of Islam as the state religion leading to continued marginalization. In order for Egypt to thrive as a Republic it should practice secularization. This includes limiting the rule of the majority, not declaring an official state religion, enforcing religious freedom, strengthening human rights policies, and providing adequate representation for the Coptic community within the governing body.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A considerable amount of research has been carried out on the complex of commercially important herring stocks to the west of the British Isles, from the south-west of Ireland and the Celtic Sea to the north-west of Scotland. Despite all this effort, the inter-stock mixing between components within this complex is still an unknown. The overall goal of WESTHER is to describe the population structure of herring stocks in this area through a large-scale analysis of the genetic, morphological, physiological and parasite faunal differences across spatial clines of herring stocks in these western European waters. All the different methods of stock discrimination employed have been applied to the same individual herring initially aiming to differentiate between spawning aggregations, thereby creating reference points to help describe juvenile and mixed adult aggregations. WESTHER's holistic approach allows apparent discrepancies implied by individual methods to be resolved and improves confidence in the results of stock identification. In this paper the data were analysed using various statistical techniques, for example discriminant analysis and classification trees, among others. These data analysis methods were used to predict a discrete outcome, as group membership, from the mix of variables (continuous, discrete and nominal) produced by the different techniques used to discriminate between stocks. The methods are being tested and refined using data from the first year's samples to give an assessment of the relative merits of the various phenotypic, chemical and genetic techniques for examining the stock structure of herring to the west of the British Isles.

description: The Chelyabinsk meteorite is a highly shocked, low porosity, ordinary chondrite, probably similar to S- or Q-type asteroids. Therefore, nanoindentation experiments on this meteorite allow us to obtain key data to understand the physical properties of near-Earth asteroids. Tests at different length scales provide information about the local mechanical properties of the minerals forming this meteorite: reduced Young's modulus, hardness, elastic recovery, and fracture toughness. Those tests are also useful to understand the potential to deflect threatening asteroids using a kinetic projectile. We found that the differences in mechanical properties between regions of the meteorite, which increase or reduce the efficiency of impacts, are not a result of compositional differences. A low mean particle size, attributed to repetitive shock, can increase hardness, while low porosity promotes a higher momentum multiplication. Momentum multiplication is the ratio between the change in momentum of a target due to an impact, and the momentum of the projectile, and, therefore higher values imply more efficient impacts. In the Chelyabinsk meteorite, the properties of the light-colored lithology materials facilitate obtaining higher momentum multiplication values, compared to the other regions described for this meteorite. Also, we found a low value of fracture toughness in the shock-melt veins of Chelyabinsk, which would promote the ejection of material after an impact and, therefore, increase the momentum multiplication. These results are relevant considering the growing interest in missions to test asteroid deflection, such as the recent collaboration between the European Space Agency and NASA, known as the Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment mission.

description: Topological states of electrons and photons have attracted significant interest recently. Topological mechanical states also being actively explored, have been limited to macroscopic systems of kHz frequency. The discovery of topological phonons of atomic vibrations at THz frequency can provide a new venue for studying heat transfer, phonon scattering and electron-phonon interaction. Here, we employed ab initio calculations to identify a class of noncentrosymmetric materials of $M$Si ($M$=Fe,Co,Mn,Re,Ru) having double Weyl points in both their acoustic and optical phonon spectra. They exhibit novel topological points termed "spin-1 Weyl point" at the Brillouin zone~(BZ) center and "charge-2 Dirac point" at the zone corner. The corresponding gapless surface phonon dispersions are double helicoidal sheets whose isofrequency contours form a single non-contractible loop in the surface BZ. In addition, the global structure of the surface bands can be analytically expressed as double-periodic Weierstrass elliptic functions. Our prediction of topological bulk and surface phonons can be experimentally verified by neutron scattering and electron energy loss spectroscopy, opening brand new directions for topological phononics.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Pacific herring that spawn at Cherry Point, near the USA-Canada border, were examined for possible listing under the USA’s Endangered Species Act (ESA) as a 'distinct population segment' (DPS). Although Cherry Point Pacific herring spawner biomass has more than doubled since 2000, the population biomass has declined by 87% since 1973. This decline led NGOs to petition the National Marine Fisheries Service to list Cherry Point Pacific herring as a protected 'ESA species.' By definition, a DPS, in order to qualify as an ESA species, must be both 'discrete' from other populations and 'significant' to the biological species as a whole. The Cherry Point Pacific herring population has multiple distinguishing characteristics including locally unique spawn timing; an unusual, relatively exposed spawning location; discrete microsatellite DNA allele frequencies; and unusual life history characteristics such as low larval weight and elevated size-at-age. Cherry Point Pacific herring also exhibit differential parasite incidence, otolith microchemistry, and accumulation of toxic contaminants indicative of disparate rearing conditions compared to other local herring populations. These discrete population differences are contrasted with data from other Pacific herring populations, both regionally and rangewide, in order to evaluate the 'significance' of the Cherry Point Pacific herring population to the species as a whole, and therefore whether it meets the management definition of a distinct population segment.

description: "The Fourth Industrial Revolution is unfolding at an exponential rather than a linear pace."- China’s President Xi Jinping Actually the competitive world, with the apparently spontaneous initiatives of economic agents, is the key to understanding the new urban economy. Expressions like "vertical disintegration" and "social division of labour" are on the agenda for researchers. However, this contradiction between business subjectivity and social coherence must be regulated in some way. In this sense, the materialization of activities in space, before any other activity, even before the constitution of the market, is the first form of regulation. Conceptual - Regional Development Space and Region The idea of n-dimensional abstract space is more appropriate to analyze a country's intricate economic interrelations. Objects would be defined by means of abstract relations, with as many spaces as there were systems of abstract relations that defined an object, or as many spaces as were the economic phenomena studied. In this way, economic activities would no longer be "localized", with a distinction between geographic or ordinary space and economic spaces. The taxonomy of the economic space could then be done as follows: i) As the content of a plan; ii) As a force field; iii) As a homogeneous set . Laws of Nature are the science of physical laws relating to the land. The common space is where the company is located. But the company also occupies a place defined in another plan, understood as the set of the company's relations with its customers, suppliers, the State and competitors. Such a plan changes over time and cannot therefore be mapped.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Herring (Clupea harengus) is a highly migratory species that perform seasonal migrations typically between spawning-, feeding-, and wintering areas. In the feeding areas of Kattegat, Skagerrak, and the Eastern North Sea different autumn-, winter- and spring spawning populations mix during parts of their life cycle. For stock assessments a split-factor based on population based mean vertebral count and an individual based, visual inspection, otolith microstructure analysis is applied to the catches in the area. The visual inspection method identifies hatch type by otolith microstructure pattern formed during the larval period assuming spawning time fidelity. To test the accuracy of the visual inspection method, otolith microstructure analyses by visual inspection on material from spawning populations were compared to the sampling season. Assuming spawning time fidelity a high accuracy would imply a high correspondence between estimated hatch type and sampling season for the spawning populations. Variation in hatch type determination may be due to reader related variability and besides this natural variability in the larval microstructure formed after hatch, overlapping of spawning seasons or mismatch of hatch- and spawning time in individual herring (‘strayers’). To validate the visual inspection beyond the matter of reader variability and to resolve the influence of natural variability in both microstructure pattern and spawning season a validation method independent of the assumption of spawning type fidelity was performed analysing variability in otolith microstructure pattern in post-larval 0-ringer herring, hatched during different seasons.

description: Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers are promising candidates for exploring new electronic and optical phenomena and for realizing atomically thin optoelectronic devices. They host tightly bound electron-hole pairs (excitons) that can be efficiently excited by resonant light fields. Here, we demonstrate that a single monolayer of molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) can dramatically modify light transmission near the excitonic resonance, acting as an electrically switchable mirror that reflects up to 85% of incident light at cryogenic temperatures. This high reflectance is a direct consequence of the excellent coherence properties of excitons in this atomically thin semiconductor, encapsulated by hexagonal boron nitride. Furthermore, we show that the MoSe2 monolayer exhibits power- and wavelength-dependent nonlinearities that stem from exciton-based lattice heating in the case of continuous-wave excitation and exciton-exciton interactions when fast, pulsed laser excitation is used. These observations open up new possibilities for studying quantum nonlinear optical phenomena and topological photonics, and for miniaturizing optical devices.

description: High-entropy alloy (HEA) is a family of metallic materials with nearly equal partitions of five or more metals, which might possess mechanical and transport properties that are different from conventional binary or tertiary alloys. In this work, we demonstrate current-induced spin-orbit torque (SOT) magnetization switching in a Ta-Nb-Hf-Zr-Ti HEA-based magnetic heterostructure with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). The maximum damping-like SOT efficiency from this particular HEA-based magnetic heterostructure is further determined to be $|ζ^{\operatorname{HEA}}_{DL}|\approx0.033$ by hysteresis loop shift measurements, while that for the Ta control sample is $|ζ^{\operatorname{Ta}}_{DL}|\approx0.04$. Our results indicate that HEA-based magnetic heterostructures can serve as a new group of potential candidates for SOT device applications.

description: Моделирование технологического процесса поверхностной обработки почвы динамичными почвообрабатывающими рабочими органами с учетом закономерностей изменения параметров их колебаний является актуальной задачей, так как позволяет оптимизировать конструктивно-технологические параметры и режимы их функционирования. Целью исследований получить закономерности изменения параметров колебаний динамичного почвообрабатывающего рабочего органа в процессе его функционирования. Объектом исследований являлся динамичный почвообрабатывающий рабочий орган стреловидной формы с шириной захвата 330 мм для сплошной поверхностной обработки различных типов почв на глубину до 15 см. Предметом исследований являлись закономерности изменения параметров колебаний динамичного почвообрабатывающего рабочего органа. При проведении исследований применялись методы математического моделирования, тензометрирования почвообрабатывающих рабочих органов, анализа и обобщения экспериментальных данных. Научную новизну работы представляют полученные эмпирические зависимости для определения параметров колебаний динамичного почвообрабатывающего рабочего органа от скорости его перемещения и нагрузки. В статье приведены графические зависимости параметров колебаний динамичного почвообрабатывающего рабочего органа от скорости и нагрузки. Установлено, что изменение скоростного и нагрузочного режимов работы динамичного почвообрабатывающего рабочего органа существенно влияет на параметры его колебаний. В частности, с повышением скорости перемещения V_p динамичного почвообрабатывающего рабочего органа от 1,944 до 3,611 м/с наблюдается снижение частоты колебаний крыла от 0,333 до 0,312 с-1, при этом среднее значение L1 колебаний в крайней точке крыла увеличивается от 11,55 мм до 14,75 мм. Установленные эмпирические зависимости позволяют определить параметры колебаний динамичного почвообрабатывающего рабочего органа от скоростных и нагрузочных режимов его работы, о чем свидетельствует коэффициент детерминации, варьирующийся в пределах R^2=0,68-0,83.

description: We show the existence of chimera-like states in two distinct groups of identical populations of globally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators. The existence of chimera-like states occurs only for a small range of frequency difference between the two populations and these states disappear for an increase of mismatch between the frequencies. Here the chimera-like states are characterized by the synchronized oscillations in one population and desynchronized oscillations in another population. We also find that such states observed in two distinct groups of identical populations of nonlocally coupled oscillators are different from the above case in which coexisting domains of synchronized and desynchronized oscillations are observed in one population and the second population exhibits synchronized oscillations for spatially prepared initial conditions. Perturbation from such spatially prepared initial condition leads to the existence of imperfectly synchronized states. An imperfectly synchronized state represents the existence of solitary oscillators which escape from the synchronized group in population-I and synchronized oscillations in population-II. Also the existence of chimera state is independent of the increase of frequency mismatch between the populations. We also find the coexistence of different dynamical states with respect to different initial conditions which causes multistability in the globally coupled system. In the case of nonlocal coupling, the system does not show multistability except in the cluster state region.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus, is a small pelagic fish of relevance to EU fisheries. A recent decrease of catches in the North-Eastern Atlantic was confirmed by a decrease in the abundance as it was estimated in the corresponding ICES Working Group for stock assessment. As holistic approaches are highly recommended to assess both stock boundaries and state, a multidisciplinary research project was carried out (HOMSIR) involving many different approaches, including four genetic markers. An allozyme survey investigated the spatial and temporal genetic structure of populations and assessed the distribution pattern of the genetic variability, a parameter increasingly used as an indicator of the state of the stocks. Samples were taken from 19 localities covering the whole range of the species. The populations were found to be genetically quite homogeneous and bonded by a high gene flow. Nonetheless, a slight differentiation was evidenced between the eastern Mediterranean samples and those of western Mediterranean and Atlantic, according to the suggested horse mackerel’s migration routes and to the results obtained using different approaches (SSCP, parasites as biological tags, otholits) within the same project. The levels of genetic variability were generally high but the samples from the Celtic Sea, North Sea and English Channel showed heterozygosity values significantly lower with respect to those of the other Atlantic samples. A loss of genetic variability associated with over–exploitation was already observed in pelagic and demersal species and it is also known that the catches from the so called western stock of horse mackerel are rapidly decreasing. So the differences observed in the genetic variability could be interpreted as an early warning sign of over–exploitation, corroborating the alarms coming from the analytical assessments so far carried out on this stock.
