description: We investigate the effect of $k$-cubic spin-orbit interaction on electrical and thermoelectric transport properties of two-dimensional fermionic systems. We obtain exact analytical expressions of the inverse relaxation time (IRT) and the Drude conductivity for long-range Coulomb and short-range delta scattering potentials. The IRT reveals that the scattering is completely suppressed along the three directions $θ^\prime = (2n+1)π/3 $ with $ n=1,2,3$. We also obtain analytical results of the thermopower and thermal conductivity at low temperature. The thermoelectric transport coefficients obey the Wiedemann-Franz law, even in the presence of $k$-cubic Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) at low temperature. In the presence of quantizing magnetic field, the signature of the RSOC is revealed through the appearance of the beating pattern in the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations of thermopower and thermal conductivity in low magnetic field regime. The empirical formulae for the SdH oscillation frequencies accurately describe the locations of the beating nodes. The beating pattern in magnetothermoelectric measurement can be used to extract the spin-orbit coupling constant.

description: One challenge in contemporary condensed matter physics is to understand unconventional electronic physics beyond the paradigm of Landau Fermi-liquid theory. Here, we present a perspective that posits that most such examples of unconventional electronic physics stem from restrictions on the degrees of freedom of quantum electrons in Landau Fermi liquids. Since the degrees of freedom are deeply connected to the system's symmetries and topology, these restrictions can thus be realized by external constraints or by interaction-driven processes via the following mechanisms: (i) symmetry breaking, (ii) new emergent symmetries, and (iii) nontrivial topology. Various examples of unconventional electronic physics beyond the reach of traditional Landau Fermi liquid theory are extensively investigated from this point of view. Our perspective yields basic pathways to study the breakdown of Landau Fermi liquids and also provides a guiding principle in the search for novel electronic systems and devices.

description: We revisit the "two-component virial theorem" (2VT) in the light of recent theoretical and observational results related to the "dark matter"(DM) problem. This modification of the virial theorem offers a physically meaningful framework to investigate possible dynamical couplings between the baryonic and DM components of extragalactic systems. In particular, we examine the predictions of the 2VT with respect to the "acceleration-discrepancy relation" (ADR). Considering the combined data (composed of systems supported by rotation and by velocity dispersion), we find that: (i) the overall behavior of the 2VT is consistent with the ADR; and (ii) the 2VT predicts a nearly constant behavior in the lower acceleration regime, as suggested in recent data on dwarf spheroidals. We also briefly comment on possible differentiations between the 2VT and some modified gravity theories.

Missionarischer Pragmatismus?

Publisher: name: NomoK@non
Year: 2022

description: Die Kurienkonstitution Praedicate Evangelium reiht sich in eine Reihe von kurialen Reformdokumenten ein, die in den letzten 500 Jahren in Rom promulgiert wurden. In den ersten Kommentaren zur gegenwärtigen Reform wird dabei vor allem auf die Möglichkeit verwiesen, Laien in kurialen Leitungspositionen einzusetzen, wobei hier eine alte Diskussion um Macht und Teilhabe von Laien an kirchlicher Leitungsgewalt wieder angestoßen wird. Als fundamentalkanonistisch-historischer Beitrag möchte dieser Artikel dabei das Denken des Jesuitengelehrten Francisco Suárez SJ (1548-1617) über kirchliche Macht und Teilhabe beleuchten. Mit Papst Franziskus vereint Suárez, der als doctor eximius die moraltheologische und kirchliche Diskussion in den letzten Jahrhunderten „maßgeblich“ (Virt) beeinflusst hat, nicht nur der Name, sondern auch die Mitgliedschaft im Jesuitenorden. Ferner schreibt Suárez in einer Zeit, die mit Immensa Aeterni Dei von Papst Sixtus V. (1588) ebenfalls eine Kurienreform vorzuweisen hat, wobei der Jesuit Weihe- und Leitungsgewalt nicht nur zwei verschiedenen Gesetzesarten – dem Neuen Gesetz und dem kanonischen Recht – zuordnet, sondern mit seiner Konzeption einer sacra potestas die kirchliche Jurisdiktionsgewalt, ähnlich wie in Praedicate Evangelium, der übergeordneten Sendung der Kirche unterordnet und so als Mittelweg zwischen widersprüchlichen Meinungen Leitungsgewalt durch Laien im Rahmen eines missionarischen Pragmatismus auf theoretischer Ebene theologisch begründet und ermöglicht. Die Auseinandersetzung mit Suárez kann so zeigen, dass die Apostolische Konstitution nicht nur auf traditionellem Grund steht, sondern Leitungsgewalt in diesem Sinne bereits zur ersten Kurienreform im Sinne von Praedicate Evangelium in thomistischer Tradition ähnlich gedacht wurde.

description: We develop a comprehensive description of static and dynamic spin-transfer torque at interfaces between a normal metal and a magnetic material. Specific examples of the latter include ferromagnets, collinear and noncollinear antiferromagnets, general ferrimagnets, and spin glasses. We study the limit of the exchange-dominated interactions, so that the full system is isotropic in spin space, apart from a possible symmetry-breaking order. A general such interface yields three coefficients (corresponding to three independent generators of rotations) generalizing the well-established notion of the spin-mixing conductance, which pertains to the collinear case. We develop a nonequilibrium thermodynamic description of the emerging interfacial spin transfer and its effect on the collective spin dynamics, while circumventing the usual discussion of spin currents and net spin dynamics. Instead, our focus is on the dissipation and work effectuated by the interface. Microscopic scattering-matrix based expressions are derived for the generalized spin-transfer coefficients.

Partial regularity for type two doubly nonlinear parabolic systems

description: We study weak solutions ${\bf v}:U\times (0,T)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$ of the nonlinear parabolic system $$ Dψ({\bf v}_t)=\text{div}DF(D{\bf v}), $$ where $ψ$ and $F$ are convex functions. This is a prototype for more general doubly nonlinear evolutions which arise in the study of structural properties of materials. Under the assumption that the second derivatives of $F$ are Hölder continuous, we show that $D^2{\bf v}$ and ${\bf v}_t$ are locally Hölder continuous except for possibly on a lower dimensional subset of $U\times (0,T)$. Our approach relies on two integral identities, decay of the local space-time energy of solutions, and fractional time derivative estimates for $D^2{\bf v}$ and ${\bf v}_t$.

description: Complex network formalism allows to explain the behavior of systems composed by interacting units. Several prototypical network models have been proposed thus far. The small-world model has been introduced to mimic two important features observed in real-world systems: i) local clustering and ii) the possibility to move across a network by means of long-range links that significantly reduce the characteristic path length. A natural question would be whether there exist several "types" of small-world architectures, giving rise to a continuum of models with properties (partially) shared with other models belonging to different network families. Here, we take advantage of the interplay between network theory and time series analysis and propose to investigate small-world signatures in complex networks by analyzing multifractal characteristics of time series generated from such networks. In particular, we suggest that the degree of right-sided asymmetry of multifractal spectra is linked with the degree of small-worldness present in networks. This claim is supported by numerical simulations performed on several parametric models, including prototypical small-world networks, scale-free, fractal and also real-world networks describing protein molecules. Our results also indicate that right-sided asymmetry emerges with the presence of the following topological properties: low edge density, low average shortest path, and high clustering coefficient.

title: Transklassische maschinelle Systeme : Ein Beitrag zur inhaltlichen Bestimmung von Luhmanns "Unbestimmtheitsstelle" für "Computer"
Creators: name: Hippe, Seline
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, eine partikulare und in ihrem Zugang originäre (technik-)philosophische Präzisierung, wenn nicht gar punktuelle Fortschreibung der Systemtheorie nach Niklas Luhmann vorzulegen. 

Den Ausgangspunkt bildet die von Luhmann in seiner Theoriearchitektur ausdrücklich offengehaltene Unbestimmtheitsstelle für Computer und deren potentielle strukturelle Kopplung mit anderen Systemen, namentlich mit Kommunikations- und Bewusstseinssystemen. Aus Gründen der Komplexitätsreduktion richtet sich der Fokus in dieser Arbeit auf die strukturellen Kopplungen mit Kommunikationssystemen.

Besondere Berücksichtigung findet Luhmanns expliziter Rückgriff auf Gotthard Günthers Konzept der trans-klassischen Maschine.

Als Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass Luhmanns Entscheidung, mit Bezug auf Computer im Rückgriff auf Günther von transklassischen Maschinen zu schreiben, dann gerechtfertigt ist, wenn mit 'Computer' ‚intelligente‘, d. h. kontextsensitive (oder: adaptive), auf maschinellem Lernen basierende Systeme bezeichnet werden. Für sie wird in dieser Arbeit der Terminus 'transklassische maschinelle Systeme' gewählt und in den systemtheoretischen Kontext eingeführt. Im Weiteren wird deutlich, dass geschriebene formale Sprache, kurz: formale Schrift, als grundlegendes Medium der strukturellen Kopplung von sozialen Systemen (Kommunikationssystemen) und transklassischen maschinellen Systemen fungiert. Besonders erwähnenswert: Transklassische maschinelle Systeme operieren nicht gänzlich ohne Sinngebrauch (Luhmann), sondern verfügen über begrenzte Wahlmöglichkeiten, innerhalb derer sie proto-kontingent zu selegieren vermögen.

Offensichtlich ist, dass Luhmann, nicht zuletzt zeithistorisch bedingt, in seinen Ausführungen von digital operierenden Computern bzw. Systemen ausgeht. Mit seinem Rückgriff auf Günthers Konzept der trans-klassischen Maschine zur Kennzeichnung von Computern, ebnet er, so die These, für die soziologische Systemtheorie den Weg für eine weitere Öffnung, d. h. für den unmittelbaren theoretischen bzw. diskursiven Anschluss an die nächste Computergeneration des Quantencomputings. 

Die hier vorliegende Arbeit bezieht sich auf kontextsensitive digitale Computersysteme. Nicht auszuschließen ist, dass sich wesentliche Erkenntnisse – dank ihres Abstraktionsgrades – auch auf künftige bzw. sich in der Entwicklung befindliche Systeme, wie etwa Quantencomputer, übertragen lassen.

description: The insulating honeycomb magnet $α$-RuCl$_{3}$ exhibits fractionalized excitiations that signal its proximity to a Kitaev quantum spin liquid (QSL) state, however, at $T=0$, fragile long-range magnetic order arises from non-Kitaev terms in the Hamiltonian. Spin vacancies in the form of Ir$^{3+}$ substituted for Ru are found to destabilize this long-range order. Neutron diffraction and bulk characterization of Ru$_{1-x}$Ir$_{x}$Cl$_{3}$ show that the magnetic ordering temperature is suppressed with increasing $x$ and evidence of zizag magnetic order is absent for $x>0.3$. Inelastic neutron scattering demonstrates that the signature of fractionalized excitations is maintained over the full range of $x$ investigated. The depleted lattice without magnetic order thus hosts a spin-liquid-like ground state that may indicate the relevance of Kitaev physics in the magnetically dilute limit of RuCl$_{3}$.

description: When combining cosmological and oscillations results to constrain the neutrino sector, the question of the propagation of systematic uncertainties is often raised. We address this issue in the context of the derivation of an upper bound on the sum of the neutrino masses ($Σm_ν$) with recent cosmological data. This work is performed within the ${\mathrm{Λ{CDM}}}$ model extended to $Σm_ν$, for which we advocate the use of three mass-degenerate neutrinos. We focus on the study of systematic uncertainties linked to the foregrounds modelling in CMB data analysis, and on the impact of the present knowledge of the reionisation optical depth. This is done through the use of different likelihoods built from Planck data. Limits on $Σm_ν$ are derived with various combinations of data, including the latest Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and Type Ia Supernovae (SN) results. We also discuss the impact of the preference for current CMB data for amplitudes of the gravitational lensing distortions higher than expected within the ${\mathrm{Λ{CDM}}}$ model, and add the Planck CMB lensing. We then derive a robust upper limit: $Σm_ν< 0.17\hbox{ eV at }95\% \hbox{CL}$, including 0.01 eV of foreground systematics. We also discuss the neutrino mass repartition and show that today's data do not allow one to disentangle normal from inverted hierarchy. The impact on the other cosmological parameters is also reported, for different assumptions on the neutrino mass repartition, and different high and low multipole CMB likelihoods.

description: Der Beitrag nimmt das fünfte Prinzip der Kurienreform gemäß der Apost. Konst. Praedicate evangelium in den Blick und fragt nach der rechtlichen und theologischen Grundlegung, inwiefern Laien Leitungsämter an der Römischen Kurie wahrnehmen können. Die Zuordnung der Römischen Kurie zum Papstamt, dessen Hilfsorgan sie ist, ist der Grund, warum ihre Leitungsgewalt als stellvertretende Vollmacht zu definieren ist. Sie wird im Namen des Papstes ausgeübt. Auch wenn dem Grundsatz nach Leitungsvollmacht in der Kirche durch positive Rechtssetzung nur von Klerikern ausgeübt werden kann (vgl. can. 129 §1 CIC), haben Laien aufgrund des Taufsakramentes, welches ihnen Anteil an der Sendung Christi verleiht, die grundsätzliche Fähigkeit (capacitas), um zur Erfüllung der kirchlichen Sendung Ämter und Dienste zu übernehmen, die mit der Ausübung von kirchlicher Leitungsvollmacht verbunden sind. Deshalb ist es auch möglich, dass der Papst qualifizierten Laien die Leitung eines Dikasteriums der Römischen Kurie anvertraut. In diesen Fällen ist es die missio canonica, die Laien ad normam iuris rechtlich befähigt (habilitas), ein bestimmtes Kirchenamt auszuüben.

description: Bayesian methods and their implementations by means of sophisticated Monte Carlo techniques have become very popular in signal processing over the last years. Importance Sampling (IS) is a well-known Monte Carlo technique that approximates integrals involving a posterior distribution by means of weighted samples. In this work, we study the assignation of a single weighted sample which compresses the information contained in a population of weighted samples. Part of the theory that we present as Group Importance Sampling (GIS) has been employed implicitly in different works in the literature. The provided analysis yields several theoretical and practical consequences. For instance, we discuss the application of GIS into the Sequential Importance Resampling framework and show that Independent Multiple Try Metropolis schemes can be interpreted as a standard Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, following the GIS approach. We also introduce two novel Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques based on GIS. The first one, named Group Metropolis Sampling method, produces a Markov chain of sets of weighted samples. All these sets are then employed for obtaining a unique global estimator. The second one is the Distributed Particle Metropolis-Hastings technique, where different parallel particle filters are jointly used to drive an MCMC algorithm. Different resampled trajectories are compared and then tested with a proper acceptance probability. The novel schemes are tested in different numerical experiments such as learning the hyperparameters of Gaussian Processes, two localization problems in a wireless sensor network (with synthetic and real data) and the tracking of vegetation parameters given satellite observations, where they are compared with several benchmark Monte Carlo techniques. Three illustrative Matlab demos are also provided.

description: Dissipation even at zero temperature reduces quantum fluctuations and tends to localize particles. A notable exception is the nonlinear dissipation due to quasiparticle tunneling in a Josephson junction. It is well known that quasiparticle dissipation does not prevent the phase particle in a superconducting junction to coherently tunnel to the next-nearest minimum even though tunneling to the nearest minimum is suppressed. The reason is that the dissipative action admits an instanton solution, the so-called Korshunov instanton. Here, we analyze this model at elevated bias current $I$. We find that besides the known regime where the logarithm of the tunneling rate scales as $I^{2/3}$ there is novel regime with a scaling $I^2$. We argue that the novel regime opens an opportunity for an experimental verification of the Korshunov instantons as the elevated bias current leads to a larger tunneling rate compared to earlier results.

EVA and shareholder value creation: an empirical study
Creators: name: Elali, Wajeeh
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2007

description: In recent years, a variant of residual income often called Economic Value Added (EVA)' or Economic Income (EI) has become a popular concern in academia and business communities. This study investigates the general hypothesis that EVA is more highly associated with shareholder wealth and firm values than are traditional performance measures. Two commonly used value-based performance metrics namely, Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Tobin's Q are also considered to highlight the valuerelevance of EVA vis-a-vis these measures in predicting shareholder wealth. Using a sample of panel data of around 12,000 firm-year observations taken from the Stem Stewart 1000 EVA/MVA database and the DATASTREAM file over the period 1991-2002, this study finds compelling evidence that shareholder value is a function of EVA. This study also provides evidence consistent with the notion that EVA outperforms other traditional performance measures in explaining shareholder wealth. Value relevance tests reveal EVA to be more highly associated with shareholder wealth than TSR and Tobin's Q. The incremental tests also suggest that EVA possesses the largest explanatory power (or information usefulness) over TSR and Tobin's Q. These results conclusively support the claims made by EVA proponents and further support the potential usefulness of the EVA metric for internal and external performance.

description: BACKGROUND: Neurological infection is an important cause of critical illness, yet little is known on the epidemiology of neurological infections requiring critical care. METHODS: We analysed data on all adults with proven or probable neurological infection admitted to UK (NHS) critical care units between 2001 and 2020 reported to the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre. Diagnoses, physiological variables, organ support and clinical outcomes were analysed over the whole period, and for consecutive 5-year intervals within it. Predictors of in-hospital mortality were identified using a backward stepwise regression model. RESULTS: We identified 20,178 critical care admissions for neurological infection. Encephalitis was the most frequent presentation to critical care, comprising 6725 (33.3%) of 20,178 cases. Meningitis- bacterial, viral or unspecified cases - accounted for 10,056 (49.8%) of cases. In-hospital mortality was high, at 3945/19,765 (20.0%) overall. Over the four consecutive 5-year periods, there were trends towards higher Glasgow Coma Scale scores on admission, longer critical care admissions (from median 4 [IQR 2-8] to 5 days [IQR 2-10]), and reduced in-hospital mortality (from 24.9 to 18.1%). We identified 12 independent predictors of in-hospital death which when used together showed good discrimination between patients who die and those who survive (AUC = 0.79). CONCLUSIONS: Admissions with neurological infection to UK critical care services are increasing and the mortality, although improving, remains high. To further improve outcomes from severe neurological infection, novel approaches to the evaluation of risk stratification, monitoring and management strategies are required.

description: Deaf lives are shaped by individual and social biographies, access to social and educational infrastructures, and the kinds of deafness a person is born with or acquires. In Benin – as in many other parts of the global south where medical and geographic conditions foster illnesses that produce hearing loss – there is a higher incidence of deafness acquired in childhood and adolescence than in those regions that cradled DEAF-DEAF-SAME concepts like cultural Deafness and deaf similitude. Underlying these concepts is the assumption that the shared experience of being deaf is what defines deaf social life, wherever it exists. Challenging that assumption, this dissertation uses the case of Benin to argue that, in regions where there is greater deaf diversity, deaf communities and socialities are just as much constructed and negotiated around difference as they are around similitude. The multicultural, multiethnic, and multilinguistic setup of Beninese society constitutes a background of habitual diversity that both accommodates variation and enforces distinction. The social diversity of hearing Benin is reflected in the country’s deaf sociality. At the same time, deaf Beninese are entangled in local, regional, national, and transnational deaf belongings, discourses, and power relations. In putting deaf diversity center stage, this dissertation does not deny the role similitude plays in deaf sociality but uncovers the ambiguities and DEAF-DEAF-DIFFERENT complexities that tend to be overlooked in the homogenizing discourses and politics of similitude, identity, and community.

description: The spin liquid phase is one of the prominent strongly interacting topological phases of matter whose unambiguous confirmation is yet to be reached despite intensive experimental efforts on numerous candidate materials. Recently, a new family of correlated honeycomb materials, in which strong spin-orbit coupling allows for various bond-dependent spin interactions, have been promising candidates to realize the Kitaev spin liquid. Here we study a model with bond-dependent spin interactions and show numerical evidence for the existence of an extended quantum spin liquid region, which is possibly connected to the Kitaev spin liquid state. These results are used to provide an explanation of the scattering continuum seen in neutron scattering on $α$-RuCl$_3$.

description: Understanding the thermally activated escape from a metastable state is at the heart of important phenomena such as the folding dynamics of proteins, the kinetics of chemical reactions or the stability of mechanical systems. In 1940 Kramers calculated escape rates both in the high damping and the low damping regime and suggested that the rate must have a maximum for intermediate damping. This phenomenon, today known as the Kramers turnover, has triggered important theoretical and numerical studies. However, to date there is no direct and quantitative experimental verification of this turnover. Using a nanoparticle trapped in a bi-stable optical potential we experimentally measure the nanoparticle's transition rates for variable damping and directly resolve the Kramers turnover. Our measurements are in agreement with an analytical model that is free of adjustable parameters.
Microscopic Geometry Characterizes Structure/Potential-Energy Correspondence in a Thermodynamic System

description: Potential energy landscape (PEL) is essential to determine phase stability, reaction path, and other important physical as well as chemical properties. Whereas given PEL can reasonably determine the properties in thermodynamically equilibrium state, it is generally unclear whether a set of known property can uniquely and/or stably determines PEL, i.e., understandings of property/PEL correspondence is basically unidirectional in the current statistical mechanics. Here we make significant advance toward bidirectional bridging of this gap for classical discrete systems under many-body interactions. Our idea is to focus on characteristic microscopic geometry in configuration space for an exactly solvable system, resulting in a new, important quantity of "harmonicity in the structural degree of freedom". This quantity reasonablly characterizes which structures in equilibrium state have practically unique and stable correspondence to PEL, without requiring any thermodynamic information such as energy or temperature. The present findings will open a gate to constructing reliable PEL, where its predictive uncertainty can be a priori known. A significant role of microscopic geometry for non-interacting system should be re-emphasized in statistical mechanics.

description: The probability density quantile (pdQ) carries essential information regarding shape and tail behavior of a location-scale family. Convergence of repeated applications of the pdQ mapping to the uniform distribution is investigated and new fixed point theorems are established. The Kullback-Leibler divergences from uniformity of these pdQs are mapped and found to be ingredients in power functions of optimal tests for uniformity against alternative shapes.

description: We investigate the realization of the emergent universe scenario in theories with natural UV cutoffs, namely a minimum length and a maximum momentum, quantified by a new deformation parameter in the generalized uncertainty principle. We extract the Einstein static universe solutions and we examine their stability through a phase-space analysis. As we show, the role of the new deformation parameter is crucial in a twofold way: Firstly, it leads to the appearance of new Einstein static universe critical points, that are absent in standard cosmology. Secondly, it provides a way for a graceful exit from the Einstein static universe into the expanding thermal history, that is needed for a complete and successful realization of the emergent universe scenario.

description: Advertising options have been recently studied as a special type of guaranteed contracts in online advertising, which are an alternative sales mechanism to real-time auctions. An advertising option is a contract which gives its buyer a right but not obligation to enter into transactions to purchase page views or link clicks at one or multiple pre-specified prices in a specific future period. Different from typical guaranteed contracts, the option buyer pays a lower upfront fee but can have greater flexibility and more control of advertising. Many studies on advertising options so far have been restricted to the situations where the option payoff is determined by the underlying spot market price at a specific time point and the price evolution over time is assumed to be continuous. The former leads to a biased calculation of option payoff and the latter is invalid empirically for many online advertising slots. This paper addresses these two limitations by proposing a new advertising option pricing framework. First, the option payoff is calculated based on an average price over a specific future period. Therefore, the option becomes path-dependent. The average price is measured by the power mean, which contains several existing option payoff functions as its special cases. Second, jump-diffusion stochastic models are used to describe the movement of the underlying spot market price, which incorporate several important statistical properties including jumps and spikes, non-normality, and absence of autocorrelations. A general option pricing algorithm is obtained based on Monte Carlo simulation. In addition, an explicit pricing formula is derived for the case when the option payoff is based on the geometric mean. This pricing formula is also a generalized version of several other option pricing models discussed in related studies.
