description: Current seismic design codes primarily rely on the strength and displacement capacity of structural members and do not account for the influence of the ground motion duration or the hysteretic behavior characteristics. The energy-based approach serves as a supplemental index to response quantities and includes the effect of repeated loads in seismic performance. The design philosophy suggests that the seismic demands are met by the energy dissipation capacity of the structural members. Therefore, the energy dissipation behavior of the structural members should be well understood to achieve an effective energy-based design approach. This study focuses on the energy dissipation capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls that are widely used in high seismic regions as they provide significant stiffness and strength to resist lateral forces. A machine learning (Gaussian Process Regression (GPR))-based predictive model for energy dissipation capacity of shear walls is developed as a function of wall design parameters. Eighteen design parameters are shown to influence energy dissipation, whereas the most important ones are determined by applying sequential backward elimination and by using feature selection methods to reduce the complexity of the predictive model. The ability of the proposed model to make robust and accurate predictions is validated based on novel data with a prediction accuracy (the ratio of predicted/actual values) of around 1.00 and a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.93. The outcomes of this study are believed to contribute to the energy-based approach by (i) defining the most influential wall properties on the seismic energy dissipation capacity of shear walls and (ii) providing predictive models that can enable comparisons of different wall design configurations to achieve higher energy dissipation capacity.

description: It has been a great challenge to explore many-body effects in heavy fermion systems with $ab$-$initio$ approaches. We computed the electronic structure of UTe$_{2}$ without purposive judgements, such as intentional selection of on-site Coulomb interaction and disregarding spin-orbit coupling. We show that U-5$f$ electrons are highly localized in the paramagnetic normal state, giving rise to the Kondo effect. It is also found that the hybridization between U-5$f$ and U-6$d$ predominantly in the orthorhombic $ab$-plane is responsible for the high-temperature Kondo effect. In contrast, the hybridization between U-5$f$ and Te-5$p$ along the $c$-axis manifests the Kondo scattering at a much lower temperature, which could be responsible for the low-temperature upturn of the $c$-axis resistivity. Our results show that the electron correlation in UTe$_2$ is orbital selective, which naturally elucidates the recent experimental observations of anomalous temperature dependence of resistivity. Furthermore, we suggest that the Kondo effect is suppressed at high pressure owing to weak localization of magnetic moments, which results from enhanced U-5$f$ electron hopping.

description: We monitored stable water isotopes in liquid precipitation and atmospheric water vapour (δv) using in situ cavity ring‐down spectroscopy (CRDS) over a 2 month period in an urban green space area in Berlin, Germany. Our aim was to better understand the origins of atmospheric moisture and its link to water partitioning under contrasting urban vegetation. δv was monitored at multiple heights (0.15, 2 and 10 m) in grassland and forest plots. The isotopic composition of δv above both land uses was highly dynamic and positively correlated with that of rainfall indicating the changing sources of atmospheric moisture. Further, the isotopic composition of δv was similar across most heights of the 10 m profiles and between the two plots indicating high aerodynamic mixing. Only at the surface at ~0.15 m height above the grassland δv showed significant differences, with more enrichment in heavy isotopes indicative of evaporative fractionation especially after rainfall events. Further, disequilibrium between δv and precipitation composition was evident during and right after rainfall events with more positive values (i.e., values of vapour higher than precipitation) in summer and negative values in winter, which probably results from higher evapotranspiration and more convective precipitation events in summer. Our work showed that it is technically feasible to produce continuous, longer‐term data on δv isotope composition in urban areas from in situ monitoring using CRDS, providing new insights into water cycling and partitioning across the critical zone of an urban green space in Central Europe. Such data have the potential to better constrain the isotopic interface between the atmosphere and the land surface and to thus, improve ecohydrological models that can resolve evapotranspiration fluxes.

description: The research aims to investigate whether and how current international customary and treaty law applies to unconventional conflicts that characterize the 21st century. The study investigates whether new rules are required, or if current rules are still valid and can be used/adapted. The research aims to check whether and to what extent states abide International Law/International Humanitarian Law in dealing with unconventional conflicts, or if, through their course of conduct, states are attempting to create new customary law, or to adapt the existing instruments to the challenges that unconventional conflicts pose. The study investigates also whether these conducts abide customary international law and peremptory norms (jus cogens), that are not consent-based, but still are obligatory upon state and non-state actors.

Field-ionization threshold and its induced ionization-window phenomenon for Rydberg atoms in a short single-cycle pulse

description: We study the field-ionization threshold behavior when a Rydberg atom is ionized by a short single-cycle pulse field. Both hydrogen and sodium atoms are considered. The required threshold field amplitude is found to scale \emph{inversely} with the binding energy when the pulse duration becomes shorter than the classical Rydberg period, and, thus, more weakly bound electrons require larger fields for ionization. This threshold scaling behavior is confirmed by both 3D classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulations and numerically solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. More surprisingly, the same scaling behavior in the short pulse limit is also followed by the ionization thresholds for much lower bound states, including the hydrogen ground state. An empirical formula is obtained from a simple model, and the dominant ionization mechanism is identified as a nonzero spatial displacement of the electron. This displacement ionization should be another important mechanism beyond the tunneling ionization and the multiphoton ionization. In addition, an "ionization window" is shown to exist for the ionization of Rydberg states, which may have potential applications to selectively modify and control the Rydberg-state population of atoms and molecules.

description: Real-time feedback-driven single-particle tracking (RT-FD-SPT) is a class of techniques in the field of single-particle tracking that uses feedback control to keep a particle of interest in a detection volume. These methods provide high spatiotemporal resolution on particle dynamics and allow for concurrent spectroscopic measurements. This review article begins with a survey of existing techniques and of applications where RT-FD-SPT has played an important role. We then systematically discuss each of the core components of RT-FD-SPT in order to develop an understanding of the trade-offs that must be made in algorithm design and to create a clear picture of the important differences, advantages, and drawbacks of existing approaches. These components are feedback tracking and control, ranging from simple proportional-integral-derivative control to advanced nonlinear techniques, estimation to determine particle location from the measured data, including both online and offline algorithms, and techniques for calibrating and characterizing different RT-FD-SPT methods. We then introduce a collection of metrics for RT-FD-SPT to help guide experimentalists in selecting a method for their particular application and to help reveal where there are gaps in the techniques that represent opportunities for further development. Finally, we conclude with a discussion on future perspectives in the field.

description: The neutrino emission characteristics of the first full-scale three-dimensional supernova simulations with sophisticated three-flavor neutrino transport for three models with masses 11.2, 20 and 27 M_sun are evaluated in detail. All the studied progenitors show the expected hydrodynamical instabilities in the form of large-scale convective overturn. In addition, the recently identified LESA phenomenon (lepton-number emission self-sustained asymmetry) is generic for all our cases. Pronounced SASI (standing accretion-shock instability) activity appears in the 20 and 27 M_sun cases, partly in the form of a spiral mode, inducing large but direction and flavor-dependent modulations of neutrino emission. These modulations can be clearly identified in the existing IceCube and future Hyper-Kamiokande detectors, depending on distance and detector location relative to the main SASI sloshing direction.

description: We explore the classical dynamics of atoms in an optical dipole trap formed by two identical Gaussian beams propagating in perpendicular directions. The phase space is a mixture of regular and chaotic orbits, the later becoming dominant as the energy of the atoms increases. The trapping capabilities of these perpendicular Gaussian beams are investigated by considering an atomic ensemble in free motion. After a sudden turn on of the dipole trap, a certain fraction of atoms in the ensemble remains trapped. The majority of these trapped atoms has energies larger than the escape channels, which can be explained by the existence of regular and chaotic orbits with very long escape times.

description: The utility of classical neural networks as universal approximators suggests that their quantum analogues could play an important role in quantum generalizations of machine-learning methods. Inspired by the proposal in [Torrontegui and García-Ripoll 2019 EPL 125 30004], we demonstrate a superconducting qubit implementation of an adiabatic controlled gate, which generalizes the action of a classical perceptron as the basic building block of a quantum neural network. We show full control over the steepness of the perceptron activation function, the input weight and the bias by tuning the adiabatic gate length, the coupling between the qubits and the frequency of the applied drive, respectively. In its general form, the gate realizes a multi-qubit entangling operation in a single step, whose decomposition into single- and two-qubit gates would require a number of gates that is exponential in the number of qubits. Its demonstrated direct implementation as perceptron in quantum hardware may therefore lead to more powerful quantum neural networks when combined with suitable additional standard gates.

description: Giardia intestinalis, a cosmopolitan gastrointestinal protist, is detected mainly in patients with clinical giardiasis in high-income countries. In contrast, there is very little information on the presence of Giardia in asymptomatic individuals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the presence and prevalence of Giardia in gut-healthy volunteers in the Czech Republic and to perform a comparative evaluation of different diagnostic methods, since Giardia diagnostics is complicated. Our results confirmed that the qPCR method is the most sensitive method for detecting Giardia and revealed a prevalence of 7% (22/296) in asymptomatic individuals. In most cases, the colonization intensity ranged from 10−1 to 101. A conventional PCR protocol targeting the TPI gene was used to identify the assemblages. However, this protocol had limited sensitivity for Giardia amplification, effectively detecting colonization above an intensity of 104. In addition, Giardia was detected in 19% of the animals, which were closely associated with the study participants. However, due to methodological limitations, zoonotic transmission could not be clearly confirmed. Notably, contact with animals proved to be the only factor that had a significant impact on the incidence of Giardia in gut-healthy humans.

description: Motivated by recent IceCube observations we re-examine the idea that microquasars are high energy neutrino emitters. By stretching to the maximum the parameters of the Fermi engine we show that the nearby high-mass X-ray binary LS 5039 could accelerate protons up to above about 20 PeV. These highly relativistic protons could subsequently interact with the plasma producing neutrinos up to the maximum observed energies. After that we adopt the spatial density distribution of high-mass X-ray binaries obtained from the deep INTEGRAL Galactic plane survey and we assume LS 5039 typifies the microquasar population to demonstrate that these powerful compact sources could provide a dominant contribution to the diffuse neutrino flux recently observed by IceCube.

description: We establish a correspondence between the disk invariants of a smooth toric Calabi-Yau 3-fold $X$ with boundary condition specified by a framed Aganagic-Vafa outer brane $(L, f)$ and the genus-zero closed Gromov-Witten invariants of a smooth toric Calabi-Yau 4-fold $\widetilde{X}$, proving the open/closed correspondence proposed by Mayr and developed by Lerche-Mayr. Our correspondence is the composition of two intermediate steps: $\circ$ First, a correspondence between the disk invariants of $(X,L,f)$ and the genus-zero maximally-tangent relative Gromov-Witten invariants of a relative Calabi-Yau 3-fold $(Y,D)$, where $Y$ is a toric partial compactification of $X$ by adding a smooth toric divisor $D$. This correspondence can be obtained as a consequence of the topological vertex (Li-Liu-Liu-Zhou) and Fang-Liu where the all-genus open Gromov-Witten invariants of $(X,L,f)$ are identified with the formal relative Gromov-Witten invariants of the formal completion of $(Y,D)$ along the toric 1-skeleton. Here, we present a proof without resorting to formal geometry. $\circ$ Second, a correspondence in genus zero between the maximally-tangent relative Gromov-Witten invariants of $(Y,D)$ and the closed Gromov-Witten invariants of the toric Calabi-Yau 4-fold $\widetilde{X} = \mathcal{O}_Y(-D)$. This can be viewed as an instantiation of the log-local principle of van Garrel-Graber-Ruddat in the non-compact setting.

description: The Fermi source 2FGL~J0523.3$-$2530 has recently been identified as a candidate millisecond pulsar binary with an orbital period of 16.5 hrs. We have carried out detailed studies of the source's emission properties by analyzing data taken with the Fermi Large Area Telescope in the 0.2--300 GeV energy range. Long-term, yearly variability from the source has been found, with a factor of 4 flux variations in 1--300 GeV. From spectral analysis, we find an extra spectral component at 2--3 GeV that causes the source brightening. While no orbital modulations have been found from the Fermi data over the whole period of 2008--2014, orbital modulation in the source's $>$2 GeV emission is detected during the last 1.5 yrs of the Fermi observation. Our results support the millisecond pulsar binary nature of 2FGL~J0523.3$-$2530. Multi-wavelength observations of the source are warranted in order to find any correlated flux variations and thus help determine the origin of the long-term variability, which currently is not understood.

description: We discuss the transverse momentum broadening of hard probes traversing an evolving glasma, which is the earliest phase of the matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The coefficient $\hat q$ is calculated using the Fokker-Planck equation, and an expansion in the proper time $τ$ which is applied to describe the temporal evolution of the glasma. The correlators of the chromodynamic fields that determine the Fokker-Planck collision term, which in turn provides $\hat q$, are computed to fifth order in $τ$. The momentum broadening is shown to rapidly grow in time and reach a magnitude of several ${\rm GeV^2/fm}$. We show that the transient pre-equilibrium phase provides a contribution to the energy loss of hard probes which is comparable to that of the long lasting, hydrodynamically evolving, equilibrium phase.

description: One of the most important potential applications of self-propelled nano- and microdevices is targeted drug delivery. To realize this, biocompatible particles that can be guided collectively towards a target inside a patient's body are required. Acoustically propelled nano- and microparticles constitute a promising candidate for such biocompatible, artificial motile particles. The main remaining obstacle to targeted drug delivery by self-propelled nano- and microdevices is to also achieve a reliable and biocompatible method for guiding them collectively to their target. Here, we propose such a method. As we confirm by computer simulations, it allows for the remote guiding of large numbers of acoustically propelled particles to a prescribed target by combining a space- and time-dependent acoustic field and a time-dependent magnetic field. The method works without detailed knowledge about the particle positions and for arbitrary initial particle distributions. With these features, it paves the way for the future application of self-propelled particles as vehicles for targeted drug delivery in nanomedicine.

description: We expand the item response theory to study the case of "cheating students" for a set of exams, trying to detect them by applying a greedy algorithm of inference. This extended model is closely related to the Boltzmann machine learning. In this paper we aim to infer the correct biases and interactions of our model by considering a relatively small number of sets of training data. Nevertheless, the greedy algorithm that we employed in the present study exhibits good performance with a few number of training data. The key point is the sparseness of the interactions in our problem in the context of the Boltzmann machine learning: the existence of cheating students is expected to be very rare (possibly even in real world). We compare a standard approach to infer the sparse interactions in the Boltzmann machine learning to our greedy algorithm and we find the latter to be superior in several aspects.

description: Active learning (AL) is a machine learning algorithm that can achieve greater accuracy with fewer labeled training instances, for having the ability to ask oracles to label the most valuable unlabeled data chosen iteratively and heuristically by query strategies. Scientific experiments nowadays, though becoming increasingly automated, are still suffering from human involvement in the designing process and the exhaustive search in the experimental space. This article performs a retrospective study on a drug response dataset using the proposed AL scheme comprised of the matrix factorization method of alternating least square (ALS) and deep neural networks (DNN). This article also proposes an AL query strategy based on expected loss minimization. As a result, the retrospective study demonstrates that scientific experimental design, instead of being manually set, can be optimized by AL, and the proposed query strategy ELM sampling shows better experimental performance than other ones such as random sampling and uncertainty sampling.

description: Aufgrund der Covid-19-Krise im Jahr 2020 mussten erstmals praktisch alle steirischen Landesbediensteten von zu Hause aus arbeiten. Dieses Werk konzentriert sich auf das Home Office im öffentlichen Dienst und geht auf folgende Forschungsfrage ein: „Wie kann das Führen von Mitarbeitern und Mitarbeiterinnen im öffentlichen Dienst während der Remotetätigkeit effektiv und effizient gestaltet werden?“ Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wurde eine tiefgehende Literaturrecherche durchgeführt und auf Basis der Forschungsergebnisse ein Interviewleitfaden erstellt. Anschließend wurden Interviews mit acht Führungskräften aus der IT-Abteilung der Steiermärkischen Landesregierung geführt, die entweder mit Softwareentwicklung oder organisatorischen Aufgaben befasst sind. Die Interviewergebnisse brachten wichtige Erkenntnisse zur Führung in Telearbeitssituationen zutage. Diese Erkenntnisse werden in sieben Kategorien (z.B. Kommunikation, Flexibilität) eingeteilt, wobei auch Tipps und Empfehlungen für das tägliche Handeln der Führungskräfte gegeben werden. Aufgrund der speziellen Zielgruppe ist die Anwendbarkeit der vorliegenden Ergebnisse möglicherweise auf diesen besonderen Rahmen beschränkt. Die Ergebnisse bilden jedoch eine Grundlage für zukünftige Studien, um ihre Anwendung in anderen Sektoren und Telearbeitssituationen zu untersuchen. In der Zwischenzeit legen die Ergebnisse nahe, dass die Vor- und Nachteile sowie die Erkenntnisse möglichst vielen Führungskräften vermittelt werden sollten (z.B. durch Workshops, Webinare oder Newsletter).
description: Due to the Covid-19 crisis in 2020, for the first time basically all Styrian provincial government employees had to work from home. This thesis focuses on home office in public service and addresses the following research question: “How can employees in the public service be effectively and efficiently managed during remote work?” To answer this question, an in-depth literature search was conducted, and an interview guide was then created based on the results of this research. Interviews were then conducted with eight executives from the IT-department of the Styrian government who deal with either software development or organizational tasks. The interview results revealed important learnings regarding leadership in teleworking situations. These learnings are classified into seven categories (e.g., communication, flexibility), whereby tips and recommendations for managers’ daily actions are also provided. Due to the interview cohort, the applicability of the present findings is limited to this particular setting. However, the results provide a foundation for future studies to investigate their application in other sectors and teleworking situations. In the meantime, the findings suggest that the advantages, disadvantages and learnings should be conveyed to as many executives as possible (e.g. through workshops, webinars or newsletters)

description: A kinetic Monte Carlo simulations with model asymmetry in binary Fe-Cu alloy leading to the same microstructure are presented. A method based on thermodynamic data for calculation of interatomic potentials dependent on model asymmetry is presented and evaluated. Results show that kinetic pathways are sensitive to model asymmetry and are compared to the classical growth and coarsening theories. Experimental diffusion data is used and compared to simulation results to determine a realistic combination for simulations.

Identification of chicken egg fertility using SVM classifier based on first-order statistical feature extraction

description: This study aims to identify chicken eggs fertility using the support vector machine (SVM) classifier method. The classification basis used the first-order statistical (FOS) parameters as feature extraction in the identification process. This research was developed based on the process's identification process, which is still manual (conventional). Although currently there are many technologies in the identification process, they still need development. Thus, this research is one of the developments in the field of image processing technology. The sample data uses datasets from previous studies with a total of 100 egg images. The egg object in the image is a single object. From these data, the classification of each fertile and infertile egg is 50 image data. Chicken egg image data became input in image processing, with the initial process is segmentation. This initial segmentation aims to get the cropped image according to the object. The cropped image is repaired using image preprocessing with grayscaling and image enhancement methods. This method (image enhancement) used two combination methods: contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) and histogram equalization (HE). The improved image becomes the input for feature extraction using the FOS method. The FOS uses five parameters, namely mean, entropy, variance, skewness, and kurtosis. The five parameters entered into the SVM classifier method to identify the fertility of chicken eggs. The results of these experiments, the method proposed in the identification process has a success percentage of 84.57%. Thus, the implementation of this method can be used as a reference for future research improvements. In addition, it may be possible to use a second-order feature extraction method to improve its accuracy and improve supervised learning for classification.

description: In a previous Letter (J. Phys. A v.47 (2014) 212003) we have presented numerical evidence that a Hamiltonian expressed in terms of the generators of the periodic Temperley-Lieb algebra has, in the finite-size scaling limit, a spectrum given by representations of the Virasoro algebra with complex highest weights. This Hamiltonian defines a stochastic process with a Z_N symmetry. We give here analytical expressions for the partition functions for this system which confirm the numerics. For N even, the Hamiltonian has a symmetry which makes the spectrum doubly degenerate leading to two independent stochastic processes. The existence of a complex spectrum leads to an oscillating approach to the stationary state. This phenomenon is illustrated by an example.

description: Cyber Security is a critical topic for organizations with IT/OT networks as they are always susceptible to attack, whether insider or outsider. Since the cyber landscape is an ever-evolving scenario, one must keep upgrading its security systems to enhance the security of the infrastructure. Tools like Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP), Information Technology Service Management (ITSM), along with other defensive techniques like Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Intrusion Protection System (IPS), and many others enhance the cyber security posture of the infrastructure. However, the proposed protection mechanisms have their limitations, they are insufficient to ensure security, and the attacker penetrates the network. Deception technology, along with Honeypots, provides a false sense of vulnerability in the target systems to the attackers. The attacker deceived reveals threat intel about their modus operandi. We have developed a Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) Engine that dynamically deploys custom honeypots inside the internal network infrastructure based on the attacker's behavior. The architecture is robust enough to support multiple VLANs connected to the system and used for orchestration. The presence of botnet traffic and DDOS attacks on the honeypots in the network is detected, along with a malware collection system. After being exposed to live traffic for four days, our engine dynamically orchestrated the honeypots 40 times, detected 7823 attacks, 965 DDOS attack packets, and three malicious samples. While our experiments with static honeypots show an average attacker engagement time of 102 seconds per instance, our SOAR Engine-based dynamic honeypots engage attackers on average 3148 seconds.

description: Quantum field theory (QFT) describes nature using continuous fields, but physical properties of QFT are usually revealed in terms of measurements of observables at a finite resolution. We describe a multiscale representation of a free scalar bosonic and Ising model fermionic QFTs using wavelets. Making use of the orthogonality and self similarity of the wavelet basis functions, we demonstrate some well known relations such as scale dependent subsystem entanglement entropy and renormalization of correlations in the ground state. We also find some new applications of the wavelet transform as a compressed representation of ground states of QFTs which can be used to illustrate quantum phase transitions via fidelity overlap and holographic entanglement of purification.

description: Let G be a finite group and let T(G) be the abelian group of equivalence classes of endotrivial kG-modules, where k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We determine, in terms of the structure of G, the kernel of the restriction map from T(G) to T(S), where S is a Sylow p-subgroup of G, in the case when S is abelian. This provides a classification of all torsion endotrivial kG-modules in that case.
