description: We present the analysis of planetary microlensing event MOA-2011-BLG-291, which has a mass ratio of $q=(3.8\pm0.7)\times10^{-4}$ and a source star that is redder (or brighter) than the bulge main sequence. This event is located at a low Galactic latitude in the survey area that is currently planned for NASA's WFIRST exoplanet microlensing survey. This unusual color for a microlensed source star implies that we cannot assume that the source star is in the Galactic bulge. The favored interpretation is that the source star is a lower main sequence star at a distance of $D_S=4.9\pm1.3\,$kpc in the Galactic disk. However, the source could also be a turn-off star on the far side of the bulge or a sub-giant in the far side of the Galactic disk if it experiences significantly more reddening than the bulge red clump stars. However, these possibilities have only a small effect on our mass estimates for the host star and planet. We find host star and planet masses of $M_{\rm host} =0.15^{+0.27}_{-0.10}M_\odot$ and $m_p=18^{+34}_{-12}M_\oplus$ from a Bayesian analysis with a standard Galactic model under the assumption that the planet hosting probability does not depend on the host mass or distance. However, if we attempt to measure the host and planet masses with host star brightness measurements from high angular resolution follow-up imaging, the implied masses will be sensitive to the host star distance. The WFIRST exoplanet microlensing survey is expected to use this method to determine the masses for many of the planetary systems that it discovers, so this issue has important design implications for the WFIRST exoplanet microlensing survey.

description: This work shows the influence of hemp retting on the hydration of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and the properties of Hemp-OPC concrete. Hemp is a very efficient thermal insulating material (Lambda = 0.055 W/m.K.). Hemp is also a powerful retarder of OPC hydration. Less than 1 kg of unretted Hemp can block the hydration of 10 kg of OPC (CEM I) for a minimum period of 7 days. The soluble organics of Hemp are the main retarders of hydration. They contain mainly glucose, fructose, maltotetraose and maltotriose. Hemp retting reduces the clarity of Hemp. The yellow degree b* (measured by a DR LANGE colorimeter) decreases from 16.1 to 9.9 with the retting level. Hemp retting also reduces the soluble organic content of Hemp represented by TOC content from 3.76 to 2.4%. We observed a good correlation between the color degree (Yellow degree b*) and the soluble organics content of Hemp. On a composition of Hemp-OPC concrete (Wetting water/Hemp ratio = 3, Efficient water/OPC ratio = 0.35, Hemp/OPC ratio = 0.23) with different retting levels of Hemp (b* = 16.1 to 9.9), the density of dry concrete varies from 480 to 690 kg/m3; the compressive strength at 7 days increases from 0.1 to 2.4 MPa and the Lambda increases from 0.1 to 0.175 W/m.K. We also observed a good correlation between the properties of concrete and the degree of hemp retting.

description: We investigate how a lepton asymmetry impacts the cosmic trajectory in the QCD phase diagram. We study the evolution of chemical potentials during the QCD epoch of the early Universe using susceptibilities from lattice QCD to interpolate between an ideal quark gas and an ideal hadron resonance gas. The lepton asymmetry affects the evolution of all chemical potentials. The standard cosmic trajectory is obtained assuming tiny lepton and baryon asymmetries. For larger lepton asymmetry, the charge chemical potential exceeds the baryon chemical potential before pion annihilation.

description: The conversion of pyrimidin-2(1H)-one into pyrimidin-2-ol through direct and indirect mechanisms was investigated in the gas phase and solution media at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory. The kinetic parameters demonstrate that the barrier energy ΔG≠ of the tautomeric conversion when proton transfer is mediated by one water molecule is almost the same as when is mediated by two water molecules, and is smaller than that when is mediated by three water molecules (14.0 and 17.1 kcal/mol at 298 K, respectively). It is obvious that the indirect mechanism, which is occurred in the presence of solvent molecules, is kinetically favourable in the gas phase and aqueous media. In addition, the decrease in the ΔG≠ values by the electron donor substituents located at the meta and para positions of pyrimidin-2(1H)-one is larger than those by the electron-withdrawing substituents.

description: We present the results of Newtonian hydrodynamic simulations of the coalescence of a binary consisting of a black hole with a neutron star. The calculations show that for a wide range of initial conditions the core of the neutron star survives the initial mass transfer episode. We therefore identify black hole-neutron star binaries as the astrophysical production site of low mass neutron stars unstable to explosion. The relevance of the simulations to the theory of gamma-ray bursts is also discussed.

description: A lot of porous agricultural byproducts have few valorization possibilities and are mainly used as animal litter. In order to propose more valuable applications for these byproducts, research is being carried out to use these resources in particleboards for application as building materials for insulation or flooring underlayer, or as molded cushioning for packaging or horticultural support medium for example. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential of low density materials obtained from corn pith. At industrial scale this type of material is generally obtained by adding synthetic binder. To obtain totally biobased materials, corn pith particles are bound by different methods: • without addition of any binder. In that case water is sprayed on the vegetal particles before the forming process. The lignocellulosic compounds contained in the agroresources can act as binders. Rate of sprayed water must be optimized in order to minimize the process time. • with various biosourced binders, based on vegetal resins or animal proteins to improve particleboards resistance. The particleboards are made at a laboratory scale by thermocompression of the vegetal raw particles with densities range from 50 to 200 kg/m3 according to the target application. The corn pith particles highlight interesting properties, such as a low density as well as a hygrometry control capacity due to their alveolar structure. Particleboards are characterized by their thermal insulation properties, their mechanical properties by bending tests according to the densities and the different binders and by their resistance to water. Several applications can be considered according to the properties obtained.

Lattice calculation of the strangeness and electromagnetic nucleon form factors

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report on recent lattice QCD calculations of the strangeness magnetic moment of the nucleon and the nucleon electromagnetic form factors, when we allow the electromagnetic current to connect to quark loops as well as to the valence quarks. Our result for the strangeness magnetic moment is G_M^s(0)=-0.36+/-0.20. The sea contributions from the u and d quarks are about 80% larger. However, they cancel to a large extent due to their electric charges, resulting in a smaller net sea contribution of -0.097+/-0.037 mu_N to the nucleon magnetic moment. As far as the neutron to proton magnetic moment ratio is concerned, this sea contribution tends to cancel out the cloud-quark effect from the Z-graphs and results in a ratio of -0.68+/-0.04 which is close to the SU(6) relation and the experiment. The strangeness Sachs electric mean-square radius _E is found to be small and negative and the total sea contributes substantially to the neutron electric form factor.

Mode-cleaning in Non-Hermitian Fibers and Waveguides

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: We propose an all-optical control of the mode dynamics in multimode waveguides, by simultaneous modulation of the refractive index and of the gain/loss coefficient. The induced unidirectional mode-coupling, yields to the enhancement or reduction of the excitation of higher order transverse modes, depending on the modulation parameters [1, 2]. In the latter case, the all-optical mode-cleaning is observed. We analytically predict the effect on a coupled mode theory for 1D waveguides, which is numerically proven solving the wave propagation equation. The proposal is generalized to the more involved case of 2D waveguides for different geometrics.

description: We theoretically investigate several types of plasmonic slot waveguides for enhancing the measured signal in Raman spectroscopy, which is a consequence of electric field and Purcell factor enhancements, as well as an increase in light-matter interaction volume and the Raman signal collection efficiency. An intuitive methodology is presented for calculating the accumulated Raman enhancement factor of an ensemble of molecules in waveguide sensing, which exploits an analytical photon Green function expansion in terms of the waveguide normal modes, and we combine this with a quantum optics formalism of the molecule-waveguide interaction to model Raman scattering. We subsequently show how integrated plasmonic slot waveguides can attain significantly higher Raman enhancement factors: $\sim$5.3$\times$ compared to optofluidic fibers and $\sim$3.7$\times$ compared to planar integrated dielectric waveguides, with a device size and thus analyte volume of at least three-orders of magnitude less. We also provide a comprehensive comparison between the different types of plasmonic slot waveguides based on the important figures-of-merit, and determine the optimal approaches to maximize Raman enhancement.

description: Background and purpose — The long-term outcome of reconstruction with extendible prostheses after resection of tumors the proximal tibia in children is unknown. We investigated the functional outcome, complication rate and final limb salvage rate after this procedure. Patients and methods — 42 children who had a primary extendible replacement of the proximal tibia for bone tumor with a Stanmore implant between 1992 and 2013 were identified in the department’s database. All notes were reviewed to identify the oncological and functional outcomes, the incidence of complications and the rate of amputation. 20 children were alive at final follow-up. Median follow-up time was 6 years and minimum follow-up for surviving patients was 3 years. Results — The overall limb salvage rate was 35/42; amputation was needed in 7 children. 15 implants were revised with a new implant. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score was 73% (40–93) at final follow-up. The overall complication rate was 32/42. Soft tissue problems were the most common mode of complication, noted in 15 children, whereas structural failure and infection occurred in 12 children each. Use of prostheses with non-invasive lengthening was associated with a higher infection rate as compared with conventional ones (4/6 vs. 8/36) and inferior limb survival. Interpretation — Extendible replacements of the proximal tibia allow for limb salvage and satisfactory late functional outcome but have a high rate of complications. The use of non-invasive lengthening implants has not shown any benefit compared with conventional designs and is, rather, associated with higher risk for infection and amputation.

description: Among the IL-6 inhibitors, tocilizumab is the most widely used therapeutic option in patients with SARS-CoV-2-associated severe respiratory failure (SRF). The aim of our study was to provide evidence on predictors of poor outcome in patients with COVID-19 treated with tocilizumab, using machine learning (ML) techniques. We conducted a retrospective study, analyzing the clinical, laboratory and sociodemographic data of patients admitted for severe COVID-19 with SRF, treated with tocilizumab. The extreme gradient boost (XGB) method had the highest balanced accuracy (93.16%). The factors associated with a worse outcome of tocilizumab use in terms of mortality were: baseline situation at the start of tocilizumab treatment requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), elevated ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT), lymphopenia, and low PaFi [ratio between arterial oxygen pressure and inspired oxygen fraction (PaO2/FiO2)] values. The factors associated with a worse outcome of tocilizumab use in terms of hospital stay were: baseline situation at the start of tocilizumab treatment requiring IMV or supplemental oxygen, elevated levels of ferritin, glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), GPT, C-reactive protein (CRP), LDH, lymphopenia, and low PaFi values. In our study focused on patients with severe COVID-19 treated with tocilizumab, the factors that were weighted most strongly in predicting worse clinical outcome were baseline status at the start of tocilizumab treatment requiring IMV and hyperferritinemia.
Gaugino-Assisted Anomaly Mediation

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We present a model of supersymmetry breaking mediated through a small extra dimension. Standard model matter multiplets and a supersymmetry-breaking (or ``hidden'') sector are confined to opposite four-dimensional boundaries while gauge multiplets live in the bulk. The hidden sector does not contain a singlet and the dominant contribution to gaugino masses is via anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking. Scalar masses get contributions from both anomaly mediation and a tiny hard breaking of supersymmetry by operators on the hidden-sector boundary. These operators contribute to scalar masses at one loop and in most of parameter space, their contribution dominates. Thus it is easy to make all squared scalar masses positive. As no additional fields or symmetries are required below the Planck scale, we consider this the simplest working model of anomaly mediation. The gaugino spectrum is left untouched and the phenomenology of the model is roughly similar to anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking with a universal scalar mass added. We identify the main differences in the spectrum between this model and other approaches. We also discuss mechanisms for generating the mu term and constraints on additional bulk fields.

description: It was proposed recently that different chiralities of the dark matter (DM) fermion under a broken dark U(1) gauge group can lead to distinguishable signatures at the LHC through shower patterns, which may reveal the mass origin of the dark sector. We study this subject further by examining the dark shower of two simplified models, the dubbed Chiral Model and the Vector Model. We derive a more complete set of collinear splitting functions with power corrections, specifying the helicities of the initial DM fermion and including the contribution from an extra degree of freedom, the dark Higgs boson. The dark shower is then implemented with these splitting functions, and the new features resulting from its correct modelling are emphasized. It is shown that the DM fermion chirality can be differentiated by measuring dark shower patterns, especially the DM jet energy profile, which is almost independent of the DM energy.

description: We present a novel photonic beamformer for a fully integrated transmit phased array antenna, together with an automatic procedure for tuning the delays in this system. Such an automatic tuning procedure is required because the large number of actuators makes manual tuning practically impossible. The antenna system is designed for the purpose of broadband aircraft-satellite communication in the Ku-band to provide satellite Internet connections on board the aircraft. The goal of the beamformer is to automatically steer the transmit antenna electronically in the direction of the satellite. This is done using a mix of phase shifters and tunable optical delay lines, which are all integrated on a chip and laid out in a tree structure. The Ku-band has a bandwidth of 0.5 GHz. We show how an optical delay line is automatically configured over this bandwidth, providing a delay of approximately 0.4 ns. The tuning algorithm calculates the best actuator voltages based on past measurements. This is the first time that such an automatic tuning scheme is used on a photonic beamformer for this type of transmit phased array antenna. We show that the proposed method is able to provide accurate beamforming (< 11.25° phase error over the whole bandwidth) for two different delay settings.

description: This doctoral thesis in military sciences comprises a compilation of original research papers that make substantial contributions to the body of knowledge within the defense industry. These findings merit both national and international recognition, underscoring their significance through publication in scientific journals. The thesis adopts a distinctive format, presenting a cohesive compilation of three previously published empirical articles along with two supporting ones. The primary objective of this thesis is to delve into a comprehensive understanding of real-world phenomena, particularly examining the dynamics among industry, universities, and the State, as viewed through the lens of the quintuple helix innovation model (Carayannis & Campbell, 2010). Simultaneously, it aims to describe and critically assess novel and complex opportunities for the defense industry's engagement, with a focus on N-helix innovation models. Grounded in the social and military sciences, this research predominantly employs qualitative methodologies, primarily relying on case studies and various data sources such as semi-structured interviews, direct observations, and official documentation. Preliminary research findings have shown that the defense industry is gaining new momentum, as emerging technologies are enabling highly innovative and disruptive systems. This thesis addresses fundamental questions concerning the allocation of limited financial resources to foster high-tech defense industries. In this context, it is crucial to attain a nuanced understanding, analysis, and description of emerging N-helix innovation models. The core aspiration of this study is to streamline the relationship between the armed forces, the defense industry, and military universities, with a strategic focus on the efficient use and advancement of disruptive military technologies.

As examples, the total cross section in electron positron annihilation, the hadronic decay rates of the tau lepton and Higgs boson up to O(α_s^2) and O(α_s^3) are considered. The evaluation of the four-loop QED β- function at an intermediate step of the calculation is briefly described. The problem of renormalization group ambiguity of perturbative results is considered and some of the existing prescriptions are discussed. The problem of estimation of theoretical uncertainty in perturbative calculations is briefly discussed.

description: We present an estimate of the global budget of baryons in all states, with conservative estimates of the uncertainties, based on all relevant information we have been able to marshal. Most of the baryons today are still in the form of ionized gas, which contributes a mean density uncertain by a factor of about four. Stars and their remnants are a relatively minor component, comprising for our best-guess plasma density only about 17% of the baryons, while populations contributing most of the blue starlight comprise less than 5%. The formation of galaxies and of stars within them appears to be a globally inefficient process. The sum over our budget, expressed as a fraction of the critical Einstein-de Sitter density, is in the range $0.007\lsimΩ_B\lsim 0.041$, with a best guess $Ω_B\sim 0.021$ (at Hubble constant 70 km/s/Mpc). The central value agrees with the prediction from the theory of light element production and with measures of the density of intergalactic plasma at redshift $z\sim 3$. This apparent concordance suggests we may be close to a complete survey of the major states of the baryons.

description: A theoretical investigation of the ultrafast processes and dynamics of the excited carriers upon irradiation of GaAs with femtosecond (fs) pulsed lasers is performed in conditions that induce material damage and eventually surface modification of the heated solid. A parametric study is followed to correlate the produced transient carrier density with the damage threshold for various pulse duration values τp (it increases as ~ at relatively small values of τp while it drops for pulse durations of the order of some picoseconds) based on the investigation of the fundamental multiscale physical processes following fs-laser irradiation. Moreover, fluence values for which the originally semiconducting material demonstrates a metallic behaviour are estimated. It is shown that a sufficient number of carriers in the conduction band are produced to excite Surface Plasmon (SP) waves that upon coupling with the incident beam and a fluid-based surface modification mechanism lead to the formation of sub-wavelength periodic structures orientated perpendicularly to the laser beam polarization. Experimental results for the damage threshold and the frequencies of induced periodic structures show a good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

description: Firms increasingly integrate ESG metrics into performance evaluations, driven by stakeholder expectations. Initially dominated by financial KPIs, non-financial indicators like CO2 emissions and employee well-being now play a larger role. Resistance from management persists, but long-term sustainability commitments prove beneficial. Companies balance short-term incentives with long-term goals, embedding ESG in strategy and culture. Governance, transparency, and employee engagement are key to success.

description: We present a paper abstract writing system based on an attentive neural sequence-to-sequence model that can take a title as input and automatically generate an abstract. We design a novel Writing-editing Network that can attend to both the title and the previously generated abstract drafts and then iteratively revise and polish the abstract. With two series of Turing tests, where the human judges are asked to distinguish the system-generated abstracts from human-written ones, our system passes Turing tests by junior domain experts at a rate up to 30% and by non-expert at a rate up to 80%.

description: We study a configuration in matrix theory carying longitudinal fivebrane charge, i.e. a D0-D4 bound state. We calculate the one-loop effective potential between a D0-D4 bound state and a D0-anti-D4 bound state and compare our results to a supergravity calculation. Next, we identify the tachyonic fluctuations in the D0-D4 and D0-anti-D4 system. We analyse classically the action for these tachyons and find solutions to the equations of motion corresponding to tachyon condensation.

Non-exchangeability of copulas arising from shock models

description: When choosing the right copula for our data a key point is to distinguish the family that describes it at the best. In this respect, a better choice of the copulas could be obtained through the information about the (non)symmetry of the data. Exchangeability as a probability concept (first next to independence) has been studied since 1930's, copulas have been studied since 1950's, and even the most important class of copulas from the point of view of applications, i.e. the ones arising from shock models s.a. Marshall's copulas, have been studied since 1960's. However, the point of non-exchangeability of copulas was brought up only in 2006 and has been intensively studied ever since. One of the main contributions of this paper is the maximal asymmetry function for a family of copulas. We compute this function for the major families of shock-based copulas, i.e. Marshall, maxmin and reflected maxmin (RMM for short) copulas and also for some other important families. We compute the sharp bound of asymmetry measure $μ_\infty$, the most important of the asymmetry measures, for the family of Marshall copulas and the family of maxmin copulas, which both equal to $\frac{4}{27}\ (\approx 0.148)$. One should compare this bound to the one for the class of PQD copulas to which they belong, which is $3-2\sqrt{2}\ \approx 0.172)$, and to the general bound for all copulas that is $\frac13$. Furthermore, we give the sharp bound of the same asymmetry measure for RMM copulas which is $3-2\sqrt{2}$, compared to the same bound for NQD copulas, where they belong, which is $\sqrt{5}-2\ (\approx 0.236)$. One of our main results is also the statistical interpretation of shocks in a given model at which the maximal asymmetry measure bound is attained. These interpretations for the three families studied are illustrated by examples that should be helpful to practitioners when choosing the model for their data.
description: The latest version (V.4) contains a correction in Theorem 3.1 and Remark 3.3 compared to the printed version in the journal and to the previous version on arXiv. Functions $P_{\lambda}$ in the earlier version of Theorem 3.1 are not copulas as claimed. We wish to thank Professor Piotr Jaworski for pointing out the fact. (31 pages, 14 figures)
COVINFORM - Final outreach report
Creators: name: Jordan, Eliza

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This deliverable summarises the COVINFORM project’s communication activities conducted throughout the duration of the project. The deliverable recaps the Communication Plan (as outlined in D9.2 Communication Plan) and the update of the Communication Plan conducted in M18 (D9.7 Communication Plan – update M18).

As COVINFORM produced outputs from M3 on (in the form of bi-monthly reports), dissemination started more or less simultaneously with communication. As such, there was a close alignment between dissemination and communication activities, while keeping in mind their different aims.

The aim of the project’s communication plan was to ensure appropriate activities were undertaken to inform, engage, create awareness, and promote information about the project, its aims, its funding source, its results, impacts and wider societal implications. It introduces strategic and targeted measures to inform the media and the general public about the project and its results as well as promote them and showcase the project’s impact. It defines key messages to the project’s target audiences and stakeholders (e.g., benefits that the project provides to each stakeholder), and appropriate communication channels and instruments to communicate them including newsletters, social media, and mass media.

COVINFORM adopted a multi-channel, multi-layered communication strategy that is designed to promote the project and its activities, as well as key insights to the different target audiences. The project engaged its audiences via a multitude of channels. While some of these were forms of one-way communication (for example, via factsheets and press releases), partners also aimed to gather feedback and knowledge exchange with the stakeholders (for example, via active engagement with stakeholders on social media).

As a living document, this communication plan was adapted, updated, and adjusted throughout the project’s lifetime.

description: Hybridisation of hydraulic drivetrains offers the potential of efficiency improvement for on – and off-road applications. To realise the advantages, a carefully designed system and corresponding control strategy are required, which are commonly obtained through a sequential design process. Addressing component selection and control parameterisation simultaneously through simulation-based optimisation allows for exploration of a large design space as well as design relations and trade-offs, and their evaluation in dynamic conditions which exist in real driving scenarios. In this paper, the optimisation framework for a hydraulic hybrid vehicle is introduced, including the simulation model for a series hybrid architecture and component scaling considerations impacting the system’s performance. A number of optimisation experiments for an on-road light-duty vehicle, focused on standard-drive-cycle-performance, illustrate the impact of the problem formulation on the final design and thus the complexity of the design problem. The designs found demonstrate both the potential of energy storage in series hybrids, via an energy balance diagram, as well as some challenges. The framework presented here provides a base for systematic evaluation of design alternatives and problem formulation aspects.
Anti-Consumerism: Stick or Carrot?

description: Anti-consumerism is a doctrine that aims to discourage excessive consumption because of its damaging effect on the environment. It can either focus on creating psychic costs for consumers (a ‘stick’) or psychic benefits for non-consumers (a ‘carrot’). This paper examines the impact of these two approaches on competition and welfare. The competitive effect is comparable in both cases – anti-consumerism (weakly) reduces competitive pressure as well as prices, outputs and profits. In terms of consumer and social welfare, however, the carrot performs strictly better than the stick.
Vibrational Coupling Modifies Spectral Diffusion in Core-Shell Colloidal Quantum Dots

description: We perform two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy on CdSe/CdZnS core/shell colloidal quantum dots at cryogenic temperatures. In the two-dimensonal spectra, sidebands due to electronic coupling with CdSe lattice LO-phonon modes are observed that have evolutions deviating from the exponential dephasing expected from Markovian spectral diffusion. Comparison to simulations provides further evidence that the LO-phonon mode coupling itself significantly modifies the exciton lineshapes and results in the underlying spectral diffusion on ultrafast timescales.
