description: Using a combination of the mean-field Bogoliubov deGennes (BdG) approach and the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) method, we discover first order topological transitions between topological superconducting and trivial insulating phases in a sawtooth lattice of inter-site attractive fermions. Topological characterization of different phases is achieved in terms of winding numbers, Majorana edge modes and entanglement spectra. By studying the effect of disorder on the first order topological phase transitions, we establish the disorder-induced topological phase coexistence as a mechanism for generating a finite density of Majorana particles.

description: The development of technology and IT tools have brought about an extraordinary acceleration of the public relations branch around the whole world. We live in the times of revolution in communication, in which one year is whole eternity. Messages, the speed of their publication, the tools are changing. The sender and the recipient, who have become used to the dynamics of the message and the fact that it is and will be distributed without spatial and temporal limitations, are changing too. Netscape browser, wp.pl, the era of Wikipedia, Facebook, dynamically developing YouTube, or Nasza Klasa, Twitter and a whole range of other tools from the scope of social media, as well as monitoring systems2 — these are just chosen stages, or as others think, milestones in the pursuit of novelty and new forms of distribution of information. It is in times like these that public relations experts have to create, send and receive messages. Back at the end of 1990's hardly anyone expected that such changes could take place. It is also hard to predict what we will see in a few, or a dozen years. One thing is certain, namely, that changes will be taking place and will be even faster than now. As the currently modern media already have a significant impact on voting decisions, or social transformation, the process is analysed and studied in detail. Moreover, what is subject to research is the question whether communication on the Internet should be based on mass communication, or rather on an individual approach. Private individuals make decisions based on their own needs, but companies have to analyse many factors that influence final decisions concerning the choice of tools, or the very decision concerning communication. Among these factors there are: scope, availability of tools, even the branch in which a company is active. This article includes a presentation of chosen tools used in the process of unilateral communication with the environment, but also tools used for dialogue. Unilateral communication discussed in this article doesn't assume a response from the recipient, apart from a possible decision to take action in form of purchase, or clicking. At the same time dialogue gives the opportunity to interact, exchange thoughts and ideas, direct assessment. Moreover, the benefits from the process of conducting dialogue online, as well as the barriers hampering the dialogue will be presented. Also, the directions of changes taking place in association with the dynamic development of online communication tools and processes will be presented.

description: Objective: We investigated whether the inflammatory response and delayed onset of muscle soreness after a marathon are altered by resveratrol, a natural polyphenolic flavonoid antioxidant. Design: Double blind placebo-controlled randomised pilot study. Setting: London Marathon. Participants: Marathon race participants. Interventions: 7 healthy male athletes were randomised to receive Resveratrol (600 mg Resveratrol daily for 7 days immediately before the marathon) or a placebo. Main Outcome Measurements: Blood samples taken 48 hours before and 18-32 hours after the marathon were analysed for white blood cell count (WBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP). A VAS score was taken at the same times as the blood samples to assess delayed onset muscle soreness. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of changes occurring between pre- and post- tests for WBC, CRP or VAS. Conclusions: There were no differences in immune response or delayed onset muscle soreness between resveratrol and placebo after a marathon. Further investigations are needed with longer treatment time and higher doses, analysing additional parameters such interleukins for a possible effect of resveratrol on the inflammatory response due to extensive exercise. To avoid a type II error, 17 subjects in each group would be required.

description: Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis (AHN), which consists of a lifelong maintenance of proliferative and quiescent neural stem cells (NSCs) within the sub-granular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus (DG) and their differentiation from newly born neurons into granule cells in the granule cell layer, is well validated across numerous studies. Using genetically modified animals, particularly rodents, is a valuable tool to investigate signaling pathways regulating AHN and to study the role of each cell type that compose the hippocampal neurogenic niche. To address the latter, methods combining single nuclei isolation with next generation sequencing have had a significant impact in the field of AHN to identify gene signatures for each cell population. Further refinement of these techniques is however needed to phenotypically profile rarer cell populations within the DG. Here, we present a method that utilizes Fluorescence Activated Nuclei Sorting (FANS) to exclude most neuronal populations from a single nuclei suspension isolated from freshly dissected DG, by selecting unstained nuclei for the NeuN antigen, in order to perform single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq). This method is a potential steppingstone to further investigate intercellular regulation of the AHN and to uncover novel cellular markers and mechanisms across species.

description: We consider an insulated conductivity model with two neighboring inclusions of $m$-convex shapes in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ when $m\geq2$ and $d\geq3$. We establish the pointwise gradient estimates for the insulated conductivity problem and capture the gradient blow-up rate of order $\varepsilon^{-1/m+β}$ with $β=[-(d+m-3)+\sqrt{(d+m-3)^{2}+4(d-2)}]/(2m)\in(0,1/m)$, as the distance $\varepsilon$ between these two insulators tends to zero. In particular, the optimality of the blow-up rate is also demonstrated for a class of axisymmetric $m$-convex inclusions.

description: We investigate an ultra-cold mixture of Bose gases interacting via spin-changing collisions by studying the dynamics of spin fluctuations. The experimental implementation employs $^{23}$Na and $^{7}$Li atoms, which are prepared out of equilibrium across a wide range of initial conditions. We identify three regimes in the dynamics of the system for different initial states: a long-lived metastable regime, an instability range with strong growth of fluctuations, and a fast relaxing regime approaching thermal equilibrium. Theoretical modelling of the data allows us to reconstruct effective potentials which characterize the different dynamical regimes of the system.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using the data taken at the Pierre Auger Observatory between December 2004 and December 2012, we have examined the implications of the distributions of depths of atmospheric shower maximum (Xmax), using a hybrid technique, for composition and hadronic interaction models. We do this by fitting the distributions with predictions from a variety of hadronic interaction models for variations in the composition of the primary cosmic rays and examining the quality of the fit. Regardless of what interaction model is assumed, we find that our data are not well described by a mix of protons and iron nuclei over most of the energy range. Acceptable fits can be obtained when intermediate masses are included, and when this is done consistent results for the proton and iron-nuclei contributions can be found using the available models. We observe a strong energy dependence of the resulting proton fractions, and find no support from any of the models for a significant contribution from iron nuclei. However, we also observe a significant disagreement between the models with respect to the relative contributions of the intermediate components.

description: A-stars are the progenitors of about half of the white dwarfs (WDs) that currently exist. The connection between the multiplicity of A-stars and that of WDs is not known and both multiplicities are still poorly explored. We are in the process of obtaining tight constraints on a sample of 108 southern A-type stars that are part of the nearby VAST sample \citep{DeRosa14} by conducting near-infrared interferometric follow-up observations to the (twenty) stars among them which have large $Gaia$-$Hipparcos$ accelerations. In this paper, we combine spectroscopy, adaptive optics imaging, NIR interferometry and $Gaia$-$Hipparcos$ astrometry in order to disentangle the stars in the complicated HIP 87813 = HJ2814A system. We show that (i) a previously discovered faint star that is separated by 2" from the A star is actually a background source; (ii) the $Gaia$-$Hipparcos$ acceleration is caused by a newly discovered $0.74 M_{\odot}$ star that was missed in previous AO images and we solve for its $P \approx 60 \text{ yrs}$ astrometric orbit; (iii) by combining previously obtained spectra we show that the A star has a very close $0.85 M_{\odot}$ companion on a 13.4-day period orbit. The radial velocity curve combined with NIR interferometry constrains its orbit allowing Kozai-Lidov oscillations in the hierarchical triple to be ruled out. The system HJ2814 is one of only about fifteen known 5+ systems with an A star primary, and will result in a system of between two to five bound WDs within around a Hubble time.

Critical behavior of the random-field Ising model with long-range interactions in one dimension

description: We study the critical behavior of the one-dimensional random field Ising model (RFIM) with long-range interactions ($\propto r^{-(d+σ)}$) by the nonperturbative functional renormalization group. We find two distinct regimes of critical behavior as a function of $σ$, separated by a critical value $σ_c$. What distinguishes these two regimes is the presence or not of a cusp-like nonanalyticity in the functional dependence of the renormalized cumulants of the random field at the fixed point. This change of behavior can be associated to the characteristics of the large-scale avalanches present in the system at zero temperature. We propose ways to check these predictions through lattice simulations. We also discuss the difference with the RFIM on the Dyson hierarchical lattice.

description: Nano-plasmonics as well as the majority of photonic metamaterials rely on resonances of metallic nanostructures. For many applications, it would obviously be desirable to tune these resonances. In this thesis lithographically manufactured gold resonators are presented, whose central frequency and damping properties are modulated by an electrochemical approach. The optical properties of the manufactured samples are investigated experimentally and are confirmed by numerical calculations.

description: We present GPU implementations of two fast force calculation methods, based on series expansions of the Poisson equation. One is the Self-Consistent Field (SCF) method, which is a Fourier-like expansion of the density field in some basis set; the other is the Multipole Expansion (MEX) method, which is a Taylor-like expansion of the Green's function. MEX, which has been advocated in the past, has not gained as much popularity as SCF. Both are particle-field method and optimized for collisionless galactic dynamics, but while SCF is a "pure" expansion, MEX is an expansion in just the angular part; it is thus capable of capturing radial structure easily, where SCF needs a large number of radial terms. We show that despite the expansion bias, these methods are more accurate than direct techniques for the same number of particles. The performance of our GPU code, which we call ETICS, is profiled and compared to a CPU implementation. On the tested GPU hardware, a full force calculation for one million particles took ~ 0.1 seconds (depending on expansion cutoff), making simulations with as many as $10^8$ particles fast on a comparatively small number of nodes.

EVALUATING SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE HYDROCLIMATOLOGY AND IMPACTS ON STREAMFLOW ACROSS THE CORN BELT

description:  Abstract: Agricultural subsurface drainage is installed across vast extents of the United States’ Corn Belt. While extremely productive, these drained agricultural lands may influence flooding and are the primary contributor to downstream nutrient loading in the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico. To better understand and quantify the seasonality of drainflow across the region and impacts to streamflow, a macroscale hydrologic modeling approach was used. A framework was developed to simulate historical subsurface drainage across the Corn Belt. Estimates of regional drain system design (depth and spacing) were made from extension recommendations, guidelines, and physical soil properties; across the region the mean estimated drain depth and spacing based on saturated hydraulic conductivity and depth to any restrictive layer were 1.17 and 24.63 meters, respectively. Soils with greater conductivity had deeper drain depths and wider drain spacings compared to soils with more restriction to water movement. The estimated drain system designs were used in simulated regional hydroclimatology of subsurface drainage at 1/16-degree resolution from 1986‑2015 using the field site and regionally-evaluated Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model. The seasonality of drainage volume and timing was found to vary with both climate and soil, with less interaction between climate and soils in the northern parts of the region where cold season processes have greater influence on subsurface drainage regime. Precipitation minus evapotranspiration was highly correlated with drainage volume and timing metrics, and frost depth was an influential indicator of cold season impacts. Drainage hydroclimate zones were informed by these findings to highlight seasonal differences in subsurface drainage regime based on climate and soils. A combination of observations and simulations were used to isolate influences of subsurface drainage on streamflow and investigate potential mechanisms. Annual streamflow metrics were assessed for 21 large watersheds with subsurface drained area ranging from 1 – 65% of the basin. Evidence for subsurface drainage reducing minimum and low flows and increasing high, but not extreme, flows was found. The relationship for more extreme flows was complex and requires further investigation on the influence of antecedent conditions. Overall, this body of research harmonized findings of field scale studies and provides insight on regional patterns of drainflow volume and timing. Future work investigating the ability of drainage conservation practices to mitigate flooding and nutrient loading attributed to conventional drainage, historically and under future climate scenarios, is recommended to work towards potential management and policy recommendations.

We use statistical methods to derive a model of the probabilistic distribution of commit sizes in open source projects and we show that the model is applicable to different project sizes. We use both graphical as well as statistical methods to validate the goodness of fit of our model. By measuring and modeling a fundamental dimension of programming we help improve software development tools and our understanding of software development.

Modified models of radiation pressure instability in application to 10, 10$^5$, and 10$^7$ $M_{\odot}$ accreting black holes

description: Some of the accreting black holes exhibit much stronger variability patterns than the usual stochastic variations. Radiation pressure instability is one of the proposed mechanisms which could account for this effect. We aim to model luminosity changes for objects with black hole mass of 10, 10$^5$, and 10$^7$ solar masses, using the time-dependent evolution of an accretion disk unstable due to the dominant radiation pressure. We use a 1-dimensional, vertically integrated time-dependent numerical scheme which models simultaneous evolution of the disk and corona, coupled by the vertical mass exchange. We also discuss the possibility of presence of an inner optically thin flow, namely the Advection-Dominated Accretion Flow (ADAF). We found that the outburst character strongly depends on the magnetic field and the outer radius of the disk if this radius is smaller (due to TDE phenomenon) than the size of the instability zone in a stationary disk with infinite radius. For microquasars, the dependence on the magnetic field is monotonic, and the period decreases with the field strength. For larger black hole masses, the dependence is non-monotonic, and initial rise of the period is later replaced with the relatively rapid decrease as the magnetic field continues to rise. Still stronger magnetic field stabilizes the disk. Our computations confirm that the radiation pressure instability model can account for heartbeat states in microquasars. Rapid variability detected in IMBH in the form of Quasi-Periodic Ejection can be consistent with the model but only if combined with TDE phenomenon. Yearly repeating variability in Changing Look AGN also requires, in our model, small outer radius either due to the recent TDE or due to the presence of the gap in the disk related to the presence of a secondary black hole.

Con questo lavoro si è voluto discutere di come la facoltà dell’intelletto si intrecci con la struttura della realtà significa e ciò ha significato interrogarsi: (i) sulle condizioni di possibilità di un fondamento dei concetti universali; (ii) sulle modalità di esistenza di questo stesso fondamento, ammesso che esso esista; (iii) sulle strategie cognitive che l’intelletto sviluppa per coglierlo. La tesi è stata divisa in cinque capitoli, i primi due sostanzialmente di carattere storico; i tre restanti sono dedicati allo studio della dottrina di Aureoli a partire dall’analisi del testo proposto in collazione, allargando, poi, l’indagine a tutto il patrimonio documentale a disposizione relativo al maestro francescano. ..

description: The aim of my dissertation is to investigate how universal concepts are formed according to the later medieval Franciscan theologian Peter Auriol (d. 1322). Specifically, in the dissertation I inquiry into the relation between Auriol's ontology - according to which only individuals, and not universals, have real, extra-mental existence - and his philosophical psychology, a study of how extra-mental particulars can give rise to universal concepts, according to Auriol's view. In the past academic year I refined the topic of my PhD thesis in two ways : first, I have delineated the definitive table of content ; second, I have wrote down the results of my research. The thesis comprises two volumes. The second one contains a collation of Peter Auriol's,Reportatio II, d. 9, qq. 2 - 3. The text has been obtained by confronting two manuscripts, considered as the exemplars of the two main families that convey his Second Book of the Sentences: ms. Firenze, Biblioteca nazionale centrale, ms. conv. soppr. A.3.120 (Fb); (iii) il ms. Padova, Biblioteca Antoniana, ms. 161 scaff. IX (Pg). .. [edited by Author]

description: A model of natural inflation with an effectively trans-Planckian decay constant can be easily achieved by the "phase locking" mechanism while keeping field values in the effective field theory within the Planck scale. We give detailed description of "phase locked" inflation based on this mechanism. We also construct supersymmetric natural inflation based on this mechanism and show that the model is consistent with low scale supersymmetry. We also investigate couplings of the inflaton with the minimal supersymmetric standard model to achieve an appropriate reheating process. Interestingly, in a certain class of models, we find that the inflation scale is related to the mass of the right-handed neutrino in a consistent way with the seesaw mechanism.

description: We present a generalized echo squeezing protocol (GESP) as a generalization of the Schrödinger cat state protocol (SCSP) with the value of the squeezing parameter being an arbitrary number rather than pi/2. We show analytically that over a broad range of the squeezing parameter the sensitivity reaches the Heisenberg limit (HL) within a factor of root-2. For a large number of particles, N, this plateau interval is almost the whole range from zero to pi/2, and the sensitivity is independent of the parity of N. Therefore, it is possible to operate a sensor over a wide interval of the squeezing parameter without changing the sensitivity. This is to be contrasted with the conventional echo squeezing protocol (CESP) which only works for a very small interval. In contrast to the CESP, the sensitivity of the GESP is close to the quantum Cramér-Rao bound over the whole range of the squeezing parameter. The enhancement in sensitivity for the GESP is due to a combination of two parameters: the phase magnification factor (PMF) and the noise amplification factor (NAF). As the value of the squeezing parameter increases, both PMF and NAF increase, keeping the ratio of PMF/NAF constant, yielding an enhancement of sensitivity at the HL within a factor of root-2. Thus, the robustness of the GESP against excess noise easily exceeds that of the CESP for a broad range of values of the squeezing parameter. As such, in the context of an experimental study, it should be possible to achieve a net enhancement in sensitivity higher than that for the CESP, under typical conditions where the excess noise exceeds the unsqueezed quantum projection noise. Finally, we consider the fragility of the GESP against collisions with background particles, and show how a balance between the fragility and the robustness against excess noise would in practice determine the optimal choice of parameters for the GESP.

description: Understanding the connections between galaxy stellar mass, star formation rate, and dark matter halo mass represents a key goal of the theory of galaxy formation. Cosmological simulations that include hydrodynamics, physical treatments of star formation, feedback from supernovae, and the radiative transfer of ionizing photons can capture the processes relevant for establishing these connections. The complexity of these physics can prove difficult to disentangle and obfuscate how mass-dependent trends in the galaxy population originate. Here, we train a machine learning method called Explainable Boosting Machines (EBMs) to infer how the stellar mass and star formation rate of nearly 6 million galaxies simulated by the Cosmic Reionization on Computers (CROC) project depend on the physical properties of halo mass, the peak circular velocity of the galaxy during its formation history $v_\mathrm{peak}$, cosmic environment, and redshift. The resulting EBM models reveal the relative importance of these properties in setting galaxy stellar mass and star formation rate, with $v_\mathrm{peak}$ providing the most dominant contribution. Environmental properties provide substantial improvements for modeling the stellar mass and star formation rate in only $\lesssim10\%$ of the simulated galaxies. We also provide alternative formulations of EBM models that enable low-resolution simulations, which cannot track the interior structure of dark matter halos, to predict the stellar mass and star formation rate of galaxies computed by high-resolution simulations with detailed baryonic physics.

description: This paper presents a new approach to the modeling of vehicular traffic flows on road networks based on kinetic equations. While in the literature the problem has been extensively studied by means of macroscopic hydrodynamic models, to date there are still not, to the authors' knowledge, contributions tackling it from a genuine statistical mechanics point of view. Probably one of the reasons is the higher technical complexity of kinetic traffic models, further increased in case of several interconnected roads. Here such difficulties of the theory are overcome by taking advantage of a discrete structure of the space of microscopic states of the vehicles, which is also significant in view of including the intrinsic microscopic granularity of the system in the mesoscopic representation.

description: We demonstrate that the fundamental causality principle being applied to strongly chiral artificial materials yields the generalized Kramers-Kronig relations for the observables -- circular dichroism and optical activity. The relations include the Blaschke terms determined by material-specific features - the zeros of transmission amplitude on the complex frequency plane. By the example of subwavelength arrays of chiral holes in silver films we show that the causality relations can be used not only for a precise verification of experimental data but also for resolving the positions of material anomalies and resonances and quantifying the degree of their chiral splitting.

A Historical Analysis of Minority Rights in Ethiopia: The Case of Negede Weyto Community
Creators: name: Binayew, Tamrat
Publisher: name: Ethiopian Journal of Human Rights
Year: 2023

description: The Negede Weyto community lives by the shores of Lake Tana in the Amhara regional state of Ethiopia. It is one of the autonomous minority groups in Ethiopia known for its valuable handcraft skills since the foundation of Gondar as the political and administrative capital of the Christian Highland Kingdom (1636). Regardless, the community has lost its autonomous status and became subject to different forms of marginalization and social exclusion in the last decade of the 19th century. This article examines the various factors, actors, and circumstances that accounted for the social exclusion and marginalization of the Negede Weyto group. Based on a critical analysis of relevant primary and secondary sources of data, this article argues that the social and economic life of the Negede Weyto community is influenced by the social exclusion that continued even in the context of a minority-friendly constitution of post-1991 Ethiopia.

description: In this paper, we present a communication protocol between a pair of biological nanomachines, transmitter and receiver, built upon molecular communications in an aqueous environment. In our proposal, the receiver, acting as a control node, sends a connection setup signal to the transmitter, which stokes molecules, to start molecule transmission. The molecules transmitted by the transmitter propagate in the environment and are absorbed by the receiver through its receptors. When the receiver absorbs the desired quantity of molecules, it releases a tear-down signal to notify the transmitter to stop the transmission. The proposed protocol implements a bidirectional communication by using a number of techniques originally designed for the TCP. In fact, the proposed protocol is connection-oriented, and uses the TCP-like probing to find a suitable transmission rate between transmitter and receiver so as to avoid receiver congestion. Unlike the TCP, however, explicit acknowledgments are not used, since they would degrade the communication throughput due to the large delay, a characteristic feature of molecular communications. Thus, the proposed protocol uses implicit acknowledgments, and feedback signals are sent by the receiver to throttle the transmission rate at the transmitter, i.e., explicit negative feedbacks. We also present the results of an extensive simulation campaign, used to validate the proposed protocol and to properly dimension the main protocol parameters.
