description: Given high SARS-CoV-2 incidence, coupled with slow and inequitable vaccine roll-out in many settings, there is a need for evidence to underpin optimum vaccine deployment, aiming to maximise global population immunity. We evaluate whether a single vaccination in individuals who have already been infected with SARS-CoV-2 generates similar initial and subsequent antibody responses to two vaccinations in those without prior infection. We compared anti-spike IgG antibody responses after a single vaccination with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2, or mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in the COVID-19 Infection Survey in the UK general population. In 100,849 adults median (50 (IQR: 37-63) years) receiving at least one vaccination, 13,404 (13.3%) had serological/PCR evidence of prior infection. Prior infection significantly boosted antibody responses, producing higher peak levels and/or longer half-lives after one dose of all three vaccines than those without prior infection receiving one or two vaccinations. In those with prior infection, the median time above the positivity threshold was >1 year after the first vaccination. Single-dose vaccination targeted to those previously infected may provide at least as good protection to two-dose vaccination among those without previous infection.

On the plasma quasi-thermal noise in the outer heliosphere

description: The recent paper by Li et al. on electron quasi-thermal noise in the outer heliosphere is flawed. It assumes the plasma drift speed to be much smaller than the electron thermal speed, even though both quantities are of the same order of magnitude in the outer heliosphere inward of the termination shock, because of the low plasma temperature. In this case, the Langmuir wave dispersion equation and the quasi-thermal noise in the antenna frame are completely changed. Furthermore, these calculations neglect the shot noise, which should produce a large contribution below the plasma frequency with the Voyager antennas in the outer heliosphere.

description: An ultrathin superconducting bilayer creates a coreless fractional vortex when only the second layer has a hole. The quantization is broken by the hole, and the normal core disappears. The magnetic flux is no longer confined near the normal core, and its density profile around the hole becomes similar to that of a crème caramel; the divergence of the magnetic flux density is truncated around the center. We propose basic design of a practical device to realize a coreless fractional vortex.

title: Resurgent Authoritarianism and the International Rule of Law
Creators: name: Sandholtz, Wayne
Publisher: name: Universität Potsdam
Year: 2019

description: Modern rule of law and post-war constitutionalism are both anchored in rights-based limitations on state authority. Rule-of-law norms and principles, at both domestic and international levels, are designed to protect the freedom and dignity of the person. Given this “thick” conception of the rule of law, authoritarian practices that remove constraints on domestic political leaders and weaken mechanisms for holding them accountable necessarily erode both domestic and international rule of law. Drawing on political science research on authoritarian politics, this study identifies three core elements of authoritarian political strategies: subordination of the judiciary, suppression of independent news media and freedom of expression, and restrictions on the ability of civil society groups to organize and participate in public life. According to available data, each of these three practices has become increasingly common in recent years. This study offers a composite measure of the core authoritarian practices and uses it to identify the countries that have shown the most marked increases in authoritarianism. The spread and deepening of these authoritarian practices in diverse regimes around the world diminishes international rule of law. The conclusion argues that resurgent authoritarianism degrades international rule of law even if this is defined as the specifically post-Cold War international legal order.

Cyclotron Line Formation in a Radiation-driven Outflow

description: We calculate the properties of gamma-ray burst spectral lines formed by resonant cyclotron scattering in a radiation-driven outflow. Most previous models of line formation in gamma-ray bursts are appropriate at the polar cap of a neutron star located no further than several hundred parsecs away. However, the BATSE brightness and sky distributions indicate that, if bursters are galactic, they are located in a corona at distances greater than 100 kpc. At these distances the burst luminosity exceeds the Eddington luminosity and the plasma in a polar line-forming region is ejected along the field lines. The variation of the magnetic field strength and plasma velocity with altitude in such an outflow would seem to prevent the formation of narrow features like those observed by Ginga and other instruments. However, this is not the case because the majority of scatters occur close to the stellar surface, at altitudes below $z \approx r_h$, where $r_h \sim 10^{5}$ cm is the size of the photon source. Consequently, the interpretation of the observed features as cyclotron lines does not rule out burst sources in a galactic corona. The outflow model predicts both absorption-like and single-peaked emission-like features. The latter do not occur in models with static line-forming regions, but have been observed in gamma-ray bursts by the Konus and BATSE instruments.

Challenges and Strategies of Translating Nabati Poetry into English: Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani's Poetry

Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: This thesis sets out to investigate the linguistic and cultural challenges of translating Sheikh Jassim Al Thani's poetry into English, which is an example of Nabati poetry. Therefore, a study is conducted on two groups of MA graduates in translation studies; Qataris and non-Qataris by applying the Think Aloud Protocol (TAP). The participants were then given a questionnaire to fill in immediately after completing the translation process to provide an insight of what was going on in their mind during the periods of silence. The approach used in this study is process-oriented, and therefore it illuminates the strategies that translators use to overcome challenges during the translation process. The analysis of the translation of selected expressions is based on Gerloff's (1986) model of coding translation strategies. Selecting different translation strategies by each group demonstrates the nature of the encountered challenges. These challenges vary as some are linguistic ,while others are cultural. Finally, the study concludes that the employment of TAP in the process of translation is effective and can guide translation specialists and help them to overcome any linguistic or cultural problems.

description: The existence of maximally supersymmetric solutions to heterotic string theory that are not toroidal compactifications of the ten-dimensional superstring is established. We construct an exact fermionic realization of an N=1 supersymmetric string theory in D=8 with non-simply-laced gauge group Sp(20). Toroidal compactification to six and four dimensions gives maximally extended supersymmetric theories with reduced rank (4,12) and (6,14) respectively.

Counting planar diagrams with various restrictions

description: Explicit expressions are considered for the generating functions concerning the number of planar diagrams with given numbers of 3- and 4-point vertices. It is observed that planar renormalization theory requires diagrams with restrictions, in the sense that one wishes to omit `tadpole' inserions and `seagull' insertions; at a later stage also self-energy insertions are to be removed, and finally also the dressed 3-point inserions and the dressed 4-point insertions. Diagrams with such restrictions can all be counted exactly. This results in various critical lines in the $λ$-$g$ plane, where $λ$ and $g$ are effective zero-dimensional coupling constants. These lines can be localized exactly.

Year: 2019

description: This paper assesses the rise and decline of international rule of law in the case of non-state armed actors. Both signs of rise and signs of decline of international rule of law show in the case of non- state armed actors. Signs of rise include the expansion of coverage of international humanitarian law (IHL) and international criminal law, as well as international legal argumentation and rhetoric made by non-state armed groups. Some non-state armed actors express that they are governed by IHL in public statements or bilateral agreements with international actors, partly acknowledging universality of international humanitarian norms, and sometimes act as such. Signs of decline in the international rule of law also show – although some of them can be seen as business-as-usual – privileging of military advantage, instrumental use of international law (as justification and local interpretations), as well as conflicting understanding of IHL between local and global norms. The multiplicity of non-state actors also portends the decline of international rule of law, with the proliferation of many non-organized groups without legitimacy-seeking motivations.

description: The spin of a glueball is usually taken as coming from the spin (and possibly the orbital angular momentum) of its constituent gluons. In light of the difficulties in accounting for the spin of the proton from its constituent quarks, the spin of glueballs is reexamined. The starting point is the fundamental QCD field angular momentum operator written in terms of the chromoelectric and chromomagnetic fields. First, we look at the restrictions placed on the structure of glueballs from the requirement that the QCD field angular momentum operator should satisfy the standard commutation relationships. This can be compared to the electromagnetic charge/monopole system, where the quantization of the field angular momentum places restrictions (i.e. the Dirac condition) on the system. Second, we look at the expectation value of this operator under some simplifying assumptions.

description: The common nature of the dark sector - dark energy and dark matter - as shown in [1] follows readily from the consideration of generalized Newtonian potential as a weak-field General Relativity. That generalized potential satisfying the Newton's theorem on the equivalence of sphere's gravity and that of a point-mass located in its center, contains an additional constant which along with the gravitational constant is able to explain quantitatively both the dark energy (cosmological constant) and dark matter. So, gravity is defined not by one but two fundamental constants. We show that, the second constant is dimensional-independent and matter-uncoupled and hence is even more universal than the gravitational constant, thus affecting the strategy of observational studies of dark energy and of the search of dark matter.

description: We identify the likely optical counterpart to the LMC supersoft X-ray source RXJ0527.8-6954, and hence recover HV2554. This identification is based on an analysis of approximately 4 years of optical photometry obtained serendipitously via the MACHO project. We see a steady fading of the star of about 0.5 mag over the duration of the observations. Evidence is also presented for an orbital modulation of 0.05 mag semi-amplitude on a period of P=0.39262 +/- 00015 d. Our optical observations are consistent with the suggestion that the X-ray decline in this system is caused by cooling after a weak shell flash.

description: In this paper, we improve upon a method for optimal control of quadrupedal robots which utilizes a full-order model of the system. The original method utilizes offline nonlinear optimal control to synthesize a control scheme which exponentially orbitally stabilizes the closed-loop system. However, it is not able to handle the overactuated phases which frequently occur during quadrupedal locomotion as a result of the multi-contact nature of the system. We propose a modified method, which handles overactuated gait phases in a way that utilizes the full range of available actuators to minimize torque expenditure without requiring output trajectories to be modified. It is shown that the system under the proposed controller exhibits the same properties, i.e. exponential orbital stability, with the same or lower point-wise torque magnitude. A simulation study demonstrates that the reduction in torque may in certain cases be substantial.

description: Sedum alfredii and Sedum plumbizincicola typically have high heavy metal (such as Zn and Cd) accumulation capacities with fast growth rates and relatively high Pb tolerance in contaminated soils. We compared the accumulation characteristics of heavy metals in Sedum species through meta-analysis. Furthermore, we analyzed the effects of soil organic matter (SOM) and soil pH on Cd, Pb and Zn accumulation by S. alfredii and S. plumbizincicola and the correlation between various metals. Results showed that the accumulations of Cd and Zn in shoots were higher than that of roots, but Pb accumulated in roots more than shoots. Moreover, there is a significant positive correlation between the accumulation of Zn and Cd in shoots. We found that the heavy metal accumulation rate in shoots was higher with lower soil pH. Sedum species had the highest Cd adsorption capacity in 20–30 g/kg SOM and the highest Zn adsorption capacity in SOM less than 20 g/kg. The accumulation rate of Cd in shoots of S. plumbizincicola was increased with exposure time, while the accumulation rate of Zn was slightly decreased. S. alfredii and S. plumbizincicola are two common Cd and Zn hyperaccumulators. We systematically compared the accumulation characteristics of heavy metals in Sedum plants and the effects of soil organic matter and pH on the accumulation of Cd, Pb and Zn in S. alfredii and S. plumbizincicola through meta-analysis. This provides certain theoretical knowledge for the application of sedum plants to the phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils.

description: We investigate the implications of a seesaw type mass matrix, i.e., $M_f\simeq m_L M_F^{-1} m_R$, for quarks and leptons $f$ under the assumption that the matrices $m_L$ and $m_R$ are common to all flavors (up-/down- and quark-/lepton- sectors) and the matrices $M_F$ characterizing the heavy fermion sectors have the form [(unit matrix) + $b_f$ (a democratic matrix)] where $b_f$ is a flavor parameter. We find that by adjusting the complex parameter $b_f$, the model can provide that $m_t\gg m_b$ while at the same time keeping $m_u\sim m_d$ without assuming any parameter with hierarchically different values between $M_U$ and $M_D$. The model with three adjustable parameters under the ``maximal" top quark mass enhancement can give reasonable values of five quark mass ratios and four KM matrix parameters.

description: While the ostensible motivation for Spanish missionization in the Americas was religious conversion, missions were also critical to the expansion of European economic institutions in the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries. Native American labor in mission contexts was recruited in support of broader programs of colonialism, mercantilism, and resource extraction. Archaeological research throughout North America demonstrates the importance and extent of the integration of Native labor into regional colonial economies. Animals and animal products were often important commodities within colonial-period regional exchange networks and thus, zooarchaeological data can be crucial to the reconstruction of local economic practices that linked Native labor to larger-scale economic processes. Zooarchaeological remains from two Spanish missions–one in southern Arizona and one in northern Sonora–demonstrate that Native labor supported broader colonial economic processes through the production of animal products such as tallow and hide. Tallow rendered at Mission San Agustín de Tucson and Mission Nuestra Señora del Pilar y Santiago de Cocóspera was vital for mining activities in the region, which served as an important wealth base for the continued development of Spanish colonialism in the Americas. This research also demonstrates continuity in rendering practices over millennia of human history, and across diverse geographical regions, permitting formalization of a set of expectations for identifying tallow-rendered assemblages, regardless of context.
Estimate of solar radius from f-mode frequencies

description: Frequency and rotational splittings of the solar f-modes are estimated from the GONG data. Contrary to earlier observations the frequencies of f-modes are found to be close to the theoretically computed values for a standard solar model. The f-mode being essentially a surface mode is a valuable diagnostic probe of the properties of the solar surface, and also provides an independent measure of solar radius. The estimated solar radius is found to be about 0.03% less than what is traditionally used in construction of standard solar models. If this decrease in solar radius is confirmed then the current solar models as well as inversion results will need to be revised. The rotational splittings of the f-modes yield an independent measure of the rotation rate near the solar surface, which is compared with other measurements.

description: The Majorana versus Dirac nature of neutrinos remains an open question. This is due, in part, to the fact that virtually all the experimentally accessible neutrinos are ultra-relativistic. Noting that Majorana neutrinos can behave quite differently from Dirac ones when they are non-relativistic, we show that, at leading order, the angular distribution of the daughters in the decay of a heavy neutrino into a lighter one and a self-conjugate boson is isotropic in the parent's rest frame if the neutrinos are Majorana, independent of the parent's polarization. If the neutrinos are Dirac fermions, this is, in general, not the case. This result follows from CPT invariance and is independent of the details of the physics responsible for the decay. We explore the feasibility of using these angular distributions -- or, equivalently, the energy distributions of the daughters in the laboratory frame -- in order to address the Majorana versus Dirac nature of neutrinos if a fourth, heavier neutrino mass eigenstate reveals itself in the current or next-generation of high-energy colliders, intense meson facilities, or neutrino beam experiments.

description: Non equilibrium effective field theory is presented as an inhomogeneous field theory, using a formulation which is analogous to that of a gauge theory. This formulation underlines the importance of structural aspects of non-equilibrium, effective field theories. It is shown that, unless proper attention is paid to such structural features, hugely different answers can be obtained for a given model. The exactly soluble two-level atom is used as an example of both the covariant methodology and of the conclusions.

description: Herein, we report a novel transparent engineering plastic nylon 10I/10T based on bio-based poly(decamethylene isophthalamide) (nylon10I). We have demonstrated the one-step melt polycondensation synthesis of transparent nylon and carried out Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) to confirm the chemical structure. Furthermore, the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to analyze the thermal properties. Glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal decomposition onset temperature (T1) of nylon 10I/10T (15 wt. % 10T) were 118.9 and 438.0 °C, respectively. The intrinsic viscosity, water absorption, light transmittance, mechanical properties, solvent resistance and the decomposition mechanism of nylon 10I/10T have also been investigated. The results show that the nylon 10I/10T has lower water absorption and enhanced solvent resistance compared to nylon 6–3-T, which indicates that nylon 10I/10T is a promising transparent plastic.

description: EGB6 is an extended, faint old planetary nebula (PN) with an enigmatic nucleus. The central star (PG0950+139) is a hot DAOZ-type white dwarf (WD). An unresolved, compact emission knot was discovered to be located 0.166" away from the WD and it was shown to be centered around a dust-enshrouded low-luminosity star. It was argued that the dust disk and evaporated gas (photoionized by the hot WD) around the companion are remnants of a disk formed by wind material captured from the WD progenitor when it was an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star. In this paper, we assess the hot WD to determine its atmospheric and stellar parameters. We performed a model-atmosphere analysis of ultraviolet (UV) and optical spectra. We found Teff = 105,000 +/- 5000 K, log g = 7.4 +/- 0.4, and a solar helium abundance (He = 0.25 +/- 0.1, mass fraction). We measured the abundances of ten more species (C, N, O, F, Si, P, S, Ar, Fe, Ni) and found essentially solar abundance values, indicating that radiation-driven wind mass-loss, with a theoretical rate of log(dot-M/M_sun/yr) = -11.0 (+1.1)(-0.8) prevents the gravitational separation of elements in the photosphere. The WD has a mass of M/M_sun = 0.58 (+0.12)(-0.04) and its post-AGB age (log(t_evol/yr) = 3.60 (+1.26)(-0.09)) is compatible with the PN kinematical age of log(t_PN}/yr) = 4.2. In addition, we examined the UV spectrum of the hot nucleus of a similar object with a compact emission region, TOL26 (PN G298.0+34.8), and found that it is a slightly cooler DAOZ WD (Teff about 85,000 K), but this WD shows signatures of gravitational settling of heavy elements.

description: Traditional deep learning-based object detection networks often resize images during the data preprocessing stage to achieve a uniform size and scale in the feature map. Resizing is done to facilitate model propagation and fully connected classification. However, resizing inevitably leads to object deformation and loss of valuable information in the images. This drawback becomes particularly pronounced for tiny objects like distribution towers with linear shapes and few pixels. To address this issue, we propose abandoning the resizing operation. Instead, we introduce Positional-Encoding Multi-head Criss-Cross Attention. This allows the model to capture contextual information and learn from multiple representation subspaces, effectively enriching the semantics of distribution towers. Additionally, we enhance Spatial Pyramid Pooling by reshaping three pooled feature maps into a new unified one while also reducing the computational burden. This approach allows images of different sizes and scales to generate feature maps with uniform dimensions and can be employed in feature map propagation. Our SCAResNet incorporates these aforementioned improvements into the backbone network ResNet. We evaluated our SCAResNet using the Electric Transmission and Distribution Infrastructure Imagery dataset from Duke University. Without any additional tricks, we employed various object detection models with Gaussian Receptive Field based Label Assignment as the baseline. When incorporating the SCAResNet into the baseline model, we achieved a 2.1% improvement in mAPs. This demonstrates the advantages of our SCAResNet in detecting transmission and distribution towers and its value in tiny object detection.

A Sample Path Measure of Causal Influence

Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)

description: We present a sample path dependent measure of causal influence between two time series. The proposed measure is a random variable whose expected sum is the directed information. A realization of the proposed measure may be used to identify the specific patterns in the data that yield a greater flow of information from one process to another, even in stationary processes. We demonstrate how sequential prediction theory may be leveraged to obtain accurate estimates of the causal measure at each point in time and introduce a notion of regret for assessing the performance of estimators of the measure. We prove a finite sample bound on this regret that is determined by the regret of the sequential predictors used in obtaining the estimate. We estimate the causal measure for a simulated collection of binary Markov processes using a Bayesian updating approach. Finally, given that the measure is a function of time, we demonstrate how estimators of the causal measure may be extended to effectively capture causality in time-varying scenarios.

description: Defects in 2D materials are becoming prominent candidates for quantum emitters and scalable optoelectronic applications. However, several physical properties that characterize their behavior, such as charged defect ionization energies, are difficult to simulate with conventional first-principles methods, mainly because of the weak and anisotropic dielectric screening caused by the reduced dimensionality. We establish fundamental principles for accurate and efficient calculations of charged defect ionization energies and electronic structure in ultrathin 2D materials. We propose to use the vacuum level as the reference for defect charge transition levels (CTLs) because it gives robust results insensitive to the level of theory, unlike commonly used band edge positions. Furthermore, we determine the fraction of Fock exchange in hybrid functionals for accurate band gaps and band edge positions of 2D materials by enforcing the generalized Koopmans' condition of localized defect states. We found the obtained fractions of Fock exchange vary significantly from 0.2 for bulk $h$-BN to 0.4 for monolayer $h$-BN, whose band gaps are also in good agreement with experimental results and calculated GW results. The combination of these methods allows for reliable and efficient prediction of defect ionization energies (difference between CTLs and band edge positions). We motivate and generalize these findings with several examples including different defects in monolayer to few-layer hexagonal boron nitride ($h$-BN), monolayer MoS$_2$ and graphane. Finally, we show that increasing the number of layers of $h$-BN systematically lowers defect ionization energies, mainly through CTLs shifting towards vacuum, with conduction band minima kept almost unchanged.

description: Bipolar planetary nebulae (PNe) are thought to result from binary star interactions and, indeed, tens of binary central stars of PNe have been found, in particular using photometric time-series that allow detecting post-common envelope systems. Using photometry at the NTT in La Silla we have studied the bright object close to the centre of PN M3-2 and found it to be an eclipsing binary with an orbital period of 1.88 days. However, the components of the binary appear to be two A or F stars, of almost equal masses, and are thus too cold to be the source of ionisation of the nebula. Using deep images of the central star obtained in good seeing, we confirm a previous result that the central star is more likely a much fainter star, located 2 arcseconds away from the bright star. The eclipsing binary is thus a chance alignment on top of the planetary nebula. We also studied the nebular abundance and confirm it to be a Type I PN.
