description: We present the first direct-detection search for eV-to-GeV dark matter using a new ~2-gram high-resistivity Skipper-CCD from a dedicated fabrication batch that was optimized for dark-matter searches. Using 24 days of data acquired in the MINOS cavern at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, we measure the lowest rates in silicon detectors of events containing one, two, three, or four electrons, and achieve world-leading sensitivity for a large range of sub-GeV dark matter masses. Data taken with different thicknesses of the detector shield suggest a correlation between the rate of high-energy tracks and the rate of single-electron events previously classified as "dark current." We detail key characteristics of the new Skipper-CCDs, which augur well for the planned construction of the ~100-gram SENSEI experiment at SNOLAB.

On the Confidence in Bit-Alias Measurement of Physical Unclonable Functions

Subjects: subject: Signal Processing (eess.SP)
subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are modern solutions for cheap and secure key storage. The security level strongly depends on a PUF's unpredictability, which is impaired if certain bits of the PUF response tend towards the same value on all devices. The expectation for the probability of 1 at some position in the response, the Bit-Alias, is a state-of-the-art metric in this regard. However, the confidence interval of the Bit-Alias is never considered, which can lead to an overestimation of a PUF's unpredictability. Moreover, no tool is available to verify if the Bit-Alias is within given limits. This work adapts a method for the calculation of confidence intervals to Bit-Alias. It further proposes a statistical hypothesis test to verify if a PUF design meets given specifications on Bit-Alias or bit-wise entropy. Application to several published PUF designs demonstrates the methods' capabilities. The results prove the need for a high number of samples when the unpredictability of PUFs is tested. The proposed methods are publicly available and should improve the design and evaluation of PUFs in the future.

description: Sign Language Translation (SLT) first uses a Sign Language Recognition (SLR) system to extract sign language glosses from videos. Then, a translation system generates spoken language translations from the sign language glosses. This paper focuses on the translation system and introduces the STMC-Transformer which improves on the current state-of-the-art by over 5 and 7 BLEU respectively on gloss-to-text and video-to-text translation of the PHOENIX-Weather 2014T dataset. On the ASLG-PC12 corpus, we report an increase of over 16 BLEU. We also demonstrate the problem in current methods that rely on gloss supervision. The video-to-text translation of our STMC-Transformer outperforms translation of GT glosses. This contradicts previous claims that GT gloss translation acts as an upper bound for SLT performance and reveals that glosses are an inefficient representation of sign language. For future SLT research, we therefore suggest an end-to-end training of the recognition and translation models, or using a different sign language annotation scheme.

description: Archaeomalthus synoriacos gen. et sp. nov. from the Upper Permian Babiy Kamen` locality indicates a remarkable evolutionary stability. Herein we report the oldest record of the family Micromalthidae, Archaeomalthus synoriacos gen. et sp. nov., which demonstrates several plesiomorphic character states, but generally retains most of the apomorphies of Micromalthidae. Archaeomalthus suggests that a distinct simplification of the morphology of adults already evolved in the late Paleozoic, suggesting and early reduction of the role of adults in the life cycle of the group. Despite the marked differences between Archaeomalthus and Micromalthus, the former already show a distinct and apparently very stable degree of deviation from the ground plan of Coleoptera s.str. and s.l. The remarkable series of reductional features shared by the Permian fossil and the extant species include a lightly sclerotized body without distinct surface sculpture, a head lacking dorsal protuberances, shortened and apparently thin elytra, exposed membranous areas behind the procoxae and between at least two basal visible abdominal sternites, and the reversal of the invagination of the terminal abdominal segments. It is likely that the reduced role of adults of Micromalthidae was a syndrome of simplified, vestigial adult morphology characters acquired at least 255 million years ago.

description: Scalar-tensor theories of gravity provide a consistent framework to accommodate an ultra-light quintessence scalar field. While the equivalence principle is respected by construction, deviations from General Relativity and standard cosmology may show up at nucleosynthesis, CMB, and solar system tests of gravity. After imposing all the bounds coming from these observations, we consider the expansion rate of the universe at WIMP decoupling, showing that it can lead to an enhancement of the dark matter relic density up to few orders of magnitude with respect to the standard case. This effect can have an impact on supersymmetric candidates for dark matter.

description: The Medium Energy X-ray telescope (ME) is one of the three main telescopes on board the Insight Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) astronomy satellite. ME contains 1728 pixels of Si-PIN detectors sensitive in 5-30 keV with a total geometrical area of 952 cm2. Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) chips, VA32TA6, is used to achieve low power consumption and low readout noise. The collimators define three kinds of field of views (FOVs) for the telescope, 1°{\times}4°, 4°{\times}4°, and blocked ones. Combination of such FOVs can be used to estimate the in-orbit X-ray and particle background components. The energy resolution of ME is ~3 keV at 17.8 keV (FWHM) and the time resolution is 255 μs. In this paper, we introduce the design and performance of ME.

Connecting SDSS central galaxies to their host halos using total satellite luminosity

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The total luminosity of satellite galaxies around a central galaxy, L$_{sat}$, is a powerful metric for probing dark matter halos. In this paper we use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys to explore the relationship between L$_{sat}$ and various observable galaxy properties for a sample of 117,966 central galaxies out to $z = 0.15$. At fixed stellar mass, every galaxy property we explore shows a correlation with L$_{sat}$. This implies that dark matter halos play a possibly significant role in determining these secondary galaxy properties. We quantify these correlations by computing the mutual information between L$_{sat}$ and secondary properties and explore how this mutual information varies as a function of stellar mass and when separating the sample into star-forming and quiescent central galaxies. We find that absolute r-band magnitude correlates more strongly with L$_{sat}$ than stellar mass across all galaxy populations; and that effective radius, velocity dispersion, and Sérsic index do so as well for star-forming and quiescent galaxies. L$_{sat}$ is sensitive to both the mass of the host halo as well as the halo formation history, with younger halos having higher L$_{sat}$. L$_{sat}$ by itself cannot distinguish between these two effects, but measurements of galaxy large-scale environment can break this degeneracy. For star-forming central galaxies, we find that r$_{\rm eff}$, $σ_v$, and Sérsic index all correlate with large-scale density, implying that these halo age plays a role in determining these properties. For quiescent galaxies, we find that all secondary properties are independent of environment, implying that correlations with L$_{sat}$ are driven only by halo mass. These results are a significant step forward in quantifying the full extent of the galaxy-halo connection, and present a new test of galaxy formation models.

What comes next? : Roma, gypsy and traveller students' agency, educational progression and career decision-making in the UK
Creators: name: Hay, Nicola
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This thesis contributes new and original knowledge to our understanding of Roma, Gypsy and Traveller students’ aspirations and their experiences of education and career guidance across England, Wales and Scotland. In doing this, it adopts a grounded theory approach drawing on Hodkinson and Sparkes ‘careership’ theory to explore the interplay between structure and agency in learners’ education and career decision-making, critical race theory, intersectionality and critical pedagogy. This approach enables a nuanced understanding of how complex and intersecting social inequalities within the educational field influence students’ horizons for engagement and action. This body of work, informed by 18 months of in-depth qualitative fieldwork, addresses a key gap within the literature as no other study has explored the educational and career aspirations of young Roma, Gypsy and Traveller cross-nationally. Similarly, no other study has examined students’ experiences of career education and guidance. In order to foreground their experiences, eight focus group and four semi-structured interviews were conducted with 36 Roma, Gypsy, Traveller and Showmen young people across the three U.K nations. Learner narratives were supplemented by in-depth semi-structured interviews with four parents and 22 stakeholders including teaching staff, Career Advisers, local council and NGO employees. Findings demonstrate that students were positively disposed to education and that they expressed high aspirations. Analysis of their narratives indicates that students make pragmatically rational decisions that reflect the interaction between the following processes: individual habitus; agency; family habitus; and the institutional habitus or ‘school affect’. While familial habitus plays a crucial role in students' decision-making, this research has determined that institutional habitus exerts a greater influence. The intersectional barriers that young people faced were not homogenous and experiences varied by geographical context. Their experiences reflect that they must navigate structural, political and cultural tensions intersecting with ‘race’, ethnicity, poverty, class gender, and language that exert power over and influence their lives. The significance and originality of this thesis is that student voices provide a powerful counter-story to challenge master narratives within the public imaginary on what ‘people like them do’. The findings also yield great utility in enabling policy makers, researchers, educators and Career Advisers to think holistically about how learners' multiple identities impact on their career decision-making and social mobility. A number of key recommendations are made in order to help inform policy and practice across the U.K regarding Roma, Gypsy and Traveller educational and career aspirations and decision-making processes.

description: Much of the shallow groundwater in southeastern and southwestern parts of Bangladesh is naturally contaminated with arsenic exposing more than 40 million people to unsafe levels of arsenic in drinking-water and potentially threatening rice production and food security as well. A study was undertaken to assess the level of arsenic contamination in rice production, determine the level of changes in intake of rice in the arsenic-overwhelmed population and find out the possible effect of arsenic contamination on human health. Sample survey was carried out in three arsenic-prone districts. Analysis revealed that, the yield of modern rice in arsenic-contaminated plots was substantially low compared to that in less-contaminated plots. Most sample households used hand-operated tubewell-water for drinking and daily household purposes. The proportion of arsenic-affected patients was higher in Kachua (14%) than that in Bhanga area. About 37% and 30% of the household heads in Kachua and Bhanga respectively opined that consumption of contaminated rice was another cause of arsenicosis. Women were more exposed to arsenic contamination since the proportions of female patients in all locations were much higher compared to their male counterparts. No children aged below 5 years, were suffering from arsenic problems indicating that arsenicosis is expressed after long-term intake of arsenic through water and food. The findings indicate that the study subjects have inadequate access to arsenic-free water and consequently people had the sufferings. Due to the excessive use of arsenic-contaminated irrigation water and chemical fertilizers, soil health might have been deteriorated substantially. The Government should undertake various action programmes to make people aware of the arsenic problems in Bangladesh.

description: Both Colectica and Nesstar are software applications based on the DDI metadata standard. Many organizations use Nesstar for publishing data on the web, documented with DDI Codebook. Many organizations also use Colectica to document their studies and datasets using DDI Lifecycle. With the creation of the new Nesstar API, an integration opportunity exists to publish data described in DDI Lifecycle to the DDI Codebook based Nesstar server. This presentation will demonstrate the integration that is now implemented between Nesstar and Colectica. In this demo, a dataset and a study documented in Colectica using DDI Lifecycle metadata will be published to a Nesstar server using the Nesstar API. This integration allows users of both software packages greater opportunities for expanded metadata documentation and improved data publication and visualization.

description: The piggyback basin of Bezhan, southeastern Albania, was formed during the late Neogene and contains Pliocene/Pleistocene deposits. These continental deposits consist of marls, siltstones and clays separated by a thin series of lignite-seams alternating with clays (Bezhan formation). We investigated leaf fossils and dispersed pollen from marls of the upper portion of this formation. Fifty-two plant taxa comprising algae, gymnosperms, and angiosperms were recovered. Of these, at least 19% belong to extant species and less than 16% belong to taxa today extinct in western Eurasia. Tsuga is represented by three pollen taxa with affinities to modern Chinese, Japanese, and North American species. Herbaceous taxa indicative of steppe (Artemisia, Amaranthaceae) occur in low quantities (≤1%) suggesting an interglacial setting. Four vegetation units are recognised: Wet riparian and aquatic vegetation, mesic oak forest, dry sub-Mediterranean woodland, and montane conifer forest. A comparison of the Bezhan flora with well-dated Pliocene and Pleistocene floras of Italy suggests a Calabrian (late early Pleistocene) age for the upper unit. This estimate is based on the abundance of extant taxa, the absence of subtropical taxa, and threshold values of particular taxa (Tsuga, Carya). The findings are in agreement with age estimates for extant tree species from molecular studies.
Almost Certain Escape from Black Holes

description: This paper examines how black holes might compute in light of recent models of the black-hole final state. These models suggest that quantum information can escape from the black hole by a process akin to teleportation. They require a specific final state and restrictions on the interaction between the collapsing matter and the incoming Hawking radiation for quantum information to escape. This paper shows that for an arbitrary final state and for generic interactions between matter and Hawking radiation, the quantum information about how the hole was formed and the results of any computation performed by the matter inside the hole escapes with fidelity exponentially close to 1.

description: Magnetars are believed to host the strongest magnetic fields in the present universe ($B\gtrsim10^{14}$ G) and the study of their persistent emission in the X-ray band offers an unprecendented opportunity to gain insight into physical processes in the presence of ultra-strong magnetic fields. Up to now, most of our knowledge about magnetar sources came from spectral analysis, which allowed to test the resonant Compton scattering scenario and to probe the structure of the star magnetosphere. On the other hand, radiation emitted from magnetar surface is expected to be strongly polarized and its observed polarization pattern bears the imprint of both scatterings onto magnetospheric charges and QED effects as it propagates in the magnetized vacuum around the star. X-ray polarimeters scheduled to fly in the next years will finally allow to exploit the wealth of information stored in the polarization observables. Here we revisit the problem of assessing the spectro-polarimetric properties of magnetar persistent emission. At variance with previous investigations, proper account for more physical surface emission models is made by considering either a condensed surface or a magnetized atmosphere. Results are used to simulate polarimetric observations with the forthcoming Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). We find that X-ray polarimetry will allow to detect QED vacuum effects for all the emission models we considered and to discriminate among them.

description: The study assessed the contribution of contract farming of banana to the agrarian reform beneficiaries as an alternative to leaseback arrangement in Calinan District, Davao City. Specifically, the study aimed to characterize and compare the contractual schemes of contract growing and leaseback arrangement using the adapted growership model from the contract farming framework, identify the factors that influenced ARBs decision to engage in contract farming, and identify other potential gains that can be derived from growership other than economic gains. The analysis utilized primary data that were gathered through surveys and interviews among ARBs who were engaged in such contractual arrangements. Results showed that contract growing as governed by production and sales agreement is focused on banana production that involves the participation of growers (ARBs) who produced either individually or collectively through agricultural cooperative, while leaseback arrangement operates under land use agreement. The amount of land rent is P18,000 per ha per yearr with P500 annual increase. Using econometric approach, education and farm size were found to be significant factors that influenced ARBs decision to engage in contract growing with 70% probability of participation based on Logit regression. In terms of social gains such as self-fulfillment and confidence, there is no significant difference on this in both contractual arrangements. Moreover, the formation of cooperatives in both ventures is essential for it to become effective. The success of every contractual agreement largely depends on the collaboration of stakeholders. Having this, there should be an enhancement and strengthening of cooperatives that will organize ARBs through which collaborative farming can be obtained.
Deep learning black hole metrics from shear viscosity

description: Based on AdS/CFT correspondence, we build a deep neural network to learn black hole metrics from the complex frequency-dependent shear viscosity. The network architecture provides a discretized representation of the holographic renormalization group flow of the shear viscosity and can be applied to a large class of strongly coupled field theories. Given the existence of the horizon and guided by the smoothness of spacetime, we show that Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordström metrics can be learned accurately. Moreover, we illustrate that the generalization ability of the deep neural network can be excellent, which indicates that by using the black hole spacetime as a hidden data structure, a wide spectrum of the shear viscosity can be generated from a narrow frequency range. These results are further generalized to an Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton black hole. Our work might not only suggest a data-driven way to study holographic transports but also shed some light on holographic duality and deep learning.

description: In the process of integration into WTO and AFTA, the majority of Vietnamese farmers who are involved in small scale production, have to face fierce competition in both domestic and international markets. Therefore the challenge is whether they are able or unable to cooperate with one another to improve their competitiveness in the market. Hung Yen longan is a representative case of fruit production in the Red River Delta. RUDEC / IPSARD has studied its value chain for identifying production constraints and set up scenarios for improving quality management, label, value chain, etc. These scenarios are used as basic tools for building collective action among farmers and creating linkages between them and output stakeholders. With this initiative, the cooperative of Longan was established and operated in three years. It aimed to develop production applying quality management (traceability, Good Agriculture Practice-GAP, Geographical Origin Label, etc.), to supply good quality longan to Hanoi and other area. This research confirms the possibility of small farmers developing their collective actions to improve the quality management and supply market with labeled products.

description: Charge balance functions provide insight into critical issues concerning hadronization and transport in heavy-ion collisions by statistically isolating charge/anti-charge pairs which are correlated by charge conservation. However, distortions from residual interactions and unbalanced charges cloud the observable. Within the context of simple models, the significance of these effects is studied by constructing balance functions in both relative rapidity and invariant relative momentum. Methods are presented for eliminating or accounting for these distortions.

description: Sub-gap states in semiconducting-superconducting nanowire hybrid devices are controversially discussed as potential topologically non-trivial quantum states. One source of ambiguity is the lack of an energetically and spatially well defined tunnel spectrometer. Here, we use quantum dots directly integrated into the nanowire during the growth process to perform tunnel spectroscopy of discrete sub-gap states in a long nanowire segment. In addition to sub-gap states with a standard magnetic field dependence, we find topologically trivial sub-gap states that are independent of the external magnetic field, i.e. that are pinned to a constant energy as a function of field. We explain this effect qualitatively and quantitatively by taking into account the strong spin-orbit interaction in the nanowire, which can lead to a decoupling of Andreev bound states from the field due to a spatial spin texture of the confined eigenstates.

description: We show that a basic quantum white noise process formally reproduces quantum stochastic calculus when the appropriate normal / chronological orderings are prescribed. By normal ordering techniques for integral equations and a generalization of the Araki-Woods representation, we derive the master and random Heisenberg equations for an arbitrary Gaussian state: this includes thermal and squeezed states.

description: Deep Learning (DL) model-based AI services are increasingly offered in a variety of predictive analytics services such as computer vision, natural language processing, speech recognition. However, the quality of the DL models can degrade over time due to changes in the input data distribution, thereby requiring periodic model updates. Although cloud data-centers can meet the computational requirements of the resource-intensive and time-consuming model update task, transferring data from the edge devices to the cloud incurs a significant cost in terms of network bandwidth and are prone to data privacy issues. With the advent of GPU-enabled edge devices, the DL model update can be performed at the edge in a distributed manner using multiple connected edge devices. However, efficiently utilizing the edge resources for the model update is a hard problem due to the heterogeneity among the edge devices and the resource interference caused by the co-location of the DL model update task with latency-critical tasks running in the background. To overcome these challenges, we present Deep-Edge, a load- and interference-aware, fault-tolerant resource management framework for performing model update at the edge that uses distributed training. This paper makes the following contributions. First, it provides a unified framework for monitoring, profiling, and deploying the DL model update tasks on heterogeneous edge devices. Second, it presents a scheduler that reduces the total re-training time by appropriately selecting the edge devices and distributing data among them such that no latency-critical applications experience deadline violations. Finally, we present empirical results to validate the efficacy of the framework using a real-world DL model update case-study based on the Caltech dataset and an edge AI cluster testbed.

description: Traditionally, data in spreadsheets and plain text formats do not contain rich documentation. Often, single-word column headers are the only hint given to data users, making it difficult to make sense of the data. Colectica for Microsoft Excel is a new, free tool to document your spreadsheet data using DDI, the open standard for data documentation. With this Excel add-in, users can add extensive information about each column of data. Variables, Code Lists, and the datasets can be globally identified and described in a standard format. This documentation is embedded with the spreadsheet, ensuring the information is available when data are shared. The add-in also adds support for SPSS and Stata formats to Excel. When opening an SPSS or Stata file in Excel, standard metadata is automatically created from the variable and value labels. Colectica for Excel can create print-ready reports based on the data documentation. The information can also be exported to the DDI standard, which can be ingested into other standards-based tools. This presentation will include a live demonstration of the Colectica for Excel tool, showing how to document the contents of a spreadsheet, publish the information, and use the documentation to access data in an informed way.

description: This deliverable reports on the selection and procurement of Kraft Black Liquors (KBLs) and raw biomass feedstock to be used in the DREAM project. 

Due to their relevance, two diverse KBLs were selected as the main model feedstock, namely KBL produced from Eucalyptus globulus (eucalyptus, southern blue gum) and Pinus pinaster (maritime pine), as representatives of the hardwood and softwood species relevant in (southern) European pulp and paper industry context. 

Furthermore, it was also selected and procured the raw materials to produce model solutions, namely E. globulus and P. pinaster biomass which as the KBLs, are also relevant industrial by-products. 

At this date, these materials are either already available in the partner facilities, namely, eucalyptus fines (EF), or being delivered, so that all samples will be available for all partners when the related project activities start.

description: Farmers have depended largely on middlemen in marketing their produce. With the emergence of consolidated centers, however, such as Gulayan sa Barangay, Farmers’ Market and Barangay Bagsakan, farmers were given alternatives on where they can sell their produce. Barangay Bagsakan Centers allow farmers to sell their produce without going through different intermediaries. The role played by this system was intended to benefit the small-scale farmers. This study aimed to detemine the effect of Barangay Bagsakan System to vegetable farmers’ profitability in Davao City, Philippines using Propensity Score Matching. Moreover, other factors such as Barangay Bagsakan attributes were included to determine what affect farmers’ decision to supply to these kinds of outlets. Results showed that farmers were encouraged to sell their produce to Barangay Bagsakan due to convenience of its location. Furthermore, farmers who supply to Barangay Bagsakan tend to get lower income compared to those who supply to other market channels. This is because a Barangay Bagsakan has low capacity to purchase farmers’ vegetables. It was recommended that the government provide cash loans to Barangay Bagsakan so the latter would be able to buy larger volume of vegetables. Another option is for a collaboration with institutions like supermarkets and non-government institutions to be established.
