description: Isogeometric analysis with the boundary element method (IGABEM) has recently gained interest. In this paper, the approximability of IGABEM on 3D acoustic scattering problems will be investigated and a new improved BeTSSi submarine will be presented as a benchmark example. Both Galerkin and collocation are considered in combination with several boundary integral equations (BIE). In addition to the conventional BIE, regularized versions of this BIE will be considered. Moreover, the hyper-singular BIE and the Burton--Miller formulation are also considered. A new adaptive integration routine is presented, and the numerical examples show the importance of the integration procedure in the boundary element method. The numerical examples also include comparison between standard BEM and IGABEM, which again verifies the higher accuracy obtained from the increased inter-element continuity of the spline basis functions. One of the main objectives in this paper is benchmarking acoustic scattering problems, and the method of manufactured solution will be used frequently in this regard.

description: In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to address the task of synthesizing speech from silent videos of any in-the-wild speaker solely based on lip movements. The traditional approach of directly generating speech from lip videos faces the challenge of not being able to learn a robust language model from speech alone, resulting in unsatisfactory outcomes. To overcome this issue, we propose incorporating noisy text supervision using a state-of-the-art lip-to-text network that instills language information into our model. The noisy text is generated using a pre-trained lip-to-text model, enabling our approach to work without text annotations during inference. We design a visual text-to-speech network that utilizes the visual stream to generate accurate speech, which is in-sync with the silent input video. We perform extensive experiments and ablation studies, demonstrating our approach's superiority over the current state-of-the-art methods on various benchmark datasets. Further, we demonstrate an essential practical application of our method in assistive technology by generating speech for an ALS patient who has lost the voice but can make mouth movements.

description: Background: Participation in community service within underprivileged communities among medical students is associated with numerous positive outcomes, such as promoting empathy, enhancing leadership qualities, and fostering civic and social responsibility. We conducted a qualitative study to understand the experiences, motivations and student-reported outcomes on personal growth, when medical students in a developed Asian country participate in local and overseas community services. Methods: We recruited medical students from Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (YLLSOM), National University of Singapore, who were leaders of a community service project organized in medical school. Twelve one-to-one interviews were held for the participants from 6 to 8 January 2013. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed into free-flow text. Thematic analysis was performed independently by three researchers. Results: Motivations to participate in community service include past-positive community service experience and present motivations such as compassion, self-discovery etc. Students reported higher empathy levels, improved communication, organization, decision-making, interpersonal, and leadership skills. The degree of influence on academic work and residency choice were varied. Conclusion: Community service in medical school enriches medical students by bringing about improved self-reported outcomes, leadership skills, and interpersonal skills. It has some bearing on residency choice and academic work.

description: From geotechnical applications to space exploration, auger drilling is often used as a standard tool for soil sample collection, instrument installation, and others. Focusing on granular flow associated with the rotary drilling process, we investigate the performance of auger drilling in terms of sampling efficiency, defined as the mass ratio of the soil sample collected in the coring tube to its total volume at a given penetration depth, by means of experiments, numerical simulations, as well as theoretical analysis. The ratio of rotation to penetration speed is found to play a crucial role in the sampling process. A continuum model for the coupled granular flow in both coring and discharging channels is proposed to elucidate the physical mechanism behind the sampling process. Supported by a comparison to experimental results, the continuum model provides a practical way to predict the performance of auger drilling. Further analysis reveals that the drilling process approaches a steady state with constant granular flow speeds in both channels. In the steady state, sampling efficiency decreases linearly with the growth of the rotation to penetration speed ratio, which can be well captured by the analytical solution of the model. The analytical solution also suggests that the sampling efficiency is independent of gravity in the steady state, which has profound implications for extraterrestrial sample collection in future space missions.

description: On online video platforms, viewers often lack a channel to sense others' and express their affective state on the fly compared to co-located group-viewing. This study explored the design of complementary affective communication specifically for effortless, spontaneous sharing of frissons during video watching. Also known as aesthetic chills, frissons are instant psycho-physiological reactions like goosebumps and shivers to arousing stimuli. We proposed an approach that unobtrusively detects viewers' frissons using skin electrodermal activity sensors and presents the aggregated data alongside online videos. Following a design process of brainstorming, focus group interview (N=7), and design iterations, we proposed three different designs to encode viewers' frisson experiences, namely, ambient light, icon, and vibration. A mixed-methods within-subject study (N=48) suggested that our approach offers a non-intrusive and efficient way to share viewers' frisson moments, increases the social presence of others as if watching together, and can create affective contagion among viewers.

Phonetic priming effects in auditory word recognition
Creators: name: Sereno, Joan A.
name: Jongman, Allard
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 1992

description: The vowel phonetic priming experiment and the fricative phonetic priming experiment
 showed that priming based on phonetic overlap can be observed in an auditory lexical
 decision task. The phonetic priming paradigm provides a tool to investigate how lower-level
 acoustic-phonetic information is used to access lexical representations in spoken
 word recognition. The present results suggest that phonetic features rather than segments are active in lexical access. In future experiments, we hope to test this claim in more detail by systematically varying the acoustic-phonetic overlap between prime and target segments. Such manipulations will enable us to investigate the role of fine-grained acoustic-phonetic information (for example, coarticulatory cues or allophonic information) in lexical access processes.

description: Recent measurements of charge instabilities in overdoped compounds rekindled the proposal that cuprates become superconductors by long-range order through Josephson coupling between nanoscopic charge domains. We use the theory of phase-ordering dynamics to show that incommensurate charge density waves (CDWs) are formed in the CuO planes by a series of free-energy wells separated by steep barriers. Charge oscillations in these domains give rise to a net hole-hole attraction proportional to the height of these barriers. Concomitantly, the self-consistent calculations yield localized superconducting amplitudes in the CDWdomains characterizing a granular superconductor. We show that a transition by long-range phase order promoted by Josephson coupling elucidates many well-known features of cuprates like the high magnetic penetration depth anisotropy and the origin of the pseudogap, among others. Furthermore, the average Josephson energy reproduces closely the planar superfluid density temperature dependence of La-based films and the superconducting giant proximity effects of cuprates, a 20-year-old open problem.

description: The formation of kink wave fronts (KWFs) in a quasi-two-dimensional granular system is investigated numerically with a focus on the role of cohesive interactions between individual particles. The cohesive particle-particle interaction is achieved through tuning the velocity-dependent coefficient of restitution, based on an analytical model introduced recently. A comparison with experimental results indicates that the threshold for the emergence of traveling KWFs matches the regime in which the center of mass height of the granular layers fluctuates with a period that triples the vibration period. Further comparisons between dry and wet granular dynamics reveal that KWFs are more pronounced in wet granular layers because of enhanced collective motion induced by cohesion.

description: In recent days gravastar has been a very lucrative alternative to black holes, as it does not suffer from the singularity problem as well and it is based on sound physical grounds. Modified Symmetric teleparallel equivalent of gravity also has seen quite a few successes in recent years both in cosmology as well as in astrophysical objects like black holes and wormholes. In this paper, we have considered the charged gravastar in $f(\mathcal{Q})$ formulation and have solved it fully analytically and found various physical characteristics like energy density, entropy and EoS for the gravastar. We have used the Israel junction condition to make some phenomenological predictions regarding the potential of the thin shell around the gravastar. We have also studied the deflection of the angle caused by the gravastar. Finally, we conclude by noting how future radio telescopes could detect the gravastar shadow and how can one distinguish it from the black hole event horizon.

description: As the main way of underwater wireless communication, underwater acoustic communication is one of the focuses of ocean research. Compared with the free space wireless communication channel, the underwater acoustic channel suffers from more severe multipath effect, the less available bandwidth and the even complex noise. The underwater acoustic channel is one of the most complicated wireless communication channels. To achieve a reliable underwater acoustic communication, Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modulation and Passive Time Reversal Mirror (PTRM) equalization are considered to be a suitable scheme. However, due to the serious distortion of the received signal caused by the channel, this scheme suffers from a high Bit Error Rate (BER) under the condition of the low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). To solve this problem, we proposes a Carrier Waveform Inter-Displacement (CWID) modulation method based on the Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) PSK and PTRM scheme. The new communication scheme reduces BER by increasing the difference from the carrier waveform for different symbols. Simulation results show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

description: The quantum gravitational back-reaction on inflation is based on the self-gravitation of infrared gravitons which are ripped out of the vacuum during inflation. The only quantum part of this process is the creation of gravitons; after they have emerged from the vacuum their behaviour is essentially classical. To test the thesis that a sufficiently dense ensemble of classical gravitons can hold the universe together in pure gravity with a positive cosmological constant, we compute the initial value and first time derivative of an invariant measure of the expansion rate for arbitrary classical initial value data. Our result is that the self-gravitation from the kinetic energy of an initial ensemble of gravitons can indeed slow expansion enough to hold the universe together.

description: We formulate the MFG limit for $N$ interacting agents with a common noise as a single quasi-linear deterministic infinite-dimensional partial differential second order backward equation. We prove that any its (regular enough) solution provides an $1/N$-Nash-equilibrium profile for the initial $N$-player game. We use the method of stochastic characteristics to provide the link with the basic models of MFG with a major player. We develop two auxiliary theories of independent interest: sensitivity and regularity analysis for the McKean-Vlasov SPDEs and the $1/N$-convergence rate for the propagation of chaos property of interacting diffusions.

description: This paper presents an original energy management methodology to enhance the resilience of ship power systems. The integration of various energy storage systems (ESS), including battery energy storage systems (BESS) and super-capacitor energy storage systems (SCESS), in modern ship power systems poses challenges in designing an efficient energy management system (EMS). The EMS proposed in this paper aims to achieve multiple objectives. The primary objective is to minimize shed loads, while the secondary objective is to effectively manage different types of ESS. Considering the diverse ramp-rate characteristics of generators, SCESS, and BESS, the proposed EMS exploits these differences to determine an optimal long-term schedule for minimizing shed loads. Furthermore, the proposed EMS balances the state-of-charge (SoC) of ESS and prioritizes the SCESS's SoC levels to ensure the efficient operation of BESS and SCESS. For better computational efficiency, we introduce the receding horizon optimization method, enabling real-time EMS implementation. A comparison with the fixed horizon optimization (FHO) validates its effectiveness. Simulation studies and results demonstrate that the proposed EMS efficiently manages generators, BESS, and SCESS, ensuring system resilience under generation shortages. Additionally, the proposed methodology significantly reduces the computational burden compared to the FHO technique while maintaining acceptable resilience performance.

Publisher: name: IOP Publishing
Year: 2024

description: We construct and investigate Boolean networks that follow a given reliable trajectory in state space, which is insensitive to fluctuations in the updating schedule and which is also robust against noise. Robustness is quantified as the probability that the dynamics return to the reliable trajectory after a perturbation of the state of a single node. In order to achieve high robustness, we navigate through the space of possible update functions by using an evolutionary algorithm. We constrain the networks to those having the minimum number of connections required to obtain the reliable trajectory. Surprisingly, we find that robustness always reaches values close to 100% during the evolutionary optimization process. The set of update functions can be evolved such that it differs only slightly from that of networks that were not optimized with respect to robustness. The state space of the optimized networks is dominated by the basin of attraction of the reliable trajectory.

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: Semiclassical sum rules, such as the Gutzwiller trace formula, depend on the properties of periodic, closed, or homoclinic (heteroclinic) orbits. The interferences embedded in such orbit sums are governed by classical action functions and Maslov indices. For chaotic systems, the relative actions of such orbits can be expressed in terms of phase space areas bounded by segments of stable and unstable manifolds, and Moser invariant curves. This also generates direct relations between periodic orbits and homoclinic (heteroclinic) orbit actions. Simpler, explicit approximate expressions following from the exact relations are given with error estimates. They arise from asymptotic scaling of certain bounded phase space areas. The actions of infinite subsets of periodic orbits are determined by their periods and the locations of the limiting homoclinic points on which they accumulate.

description: The UBVRI broad band photometric system is widely used in CCD astronomy. There are a lot of sets of standard stars for this photometric system, the Landolt's and Stetson's catalogues being the most precise and reliable. Another photometric system, recently considerably spread in CCD observations is ugriz, which originates from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and has now many variations based on its 5 broad-band filters. One of the photometric systems based on it is The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS). In this paper we compare the BVRI magnitudes in the Stetson catalogue of standard stars with the magnitudes of the corresponding stars in the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) grizyw catalogue. Transformations between these two systems are presented and discussed. An algorithm for data reduction and calibration is developed and its functionality is demonstrated in the magnitude determination of an asteroid.

description: Frequency entrainment of continuous-variable oscillators has to date been restrained to the weakly nonlinear regime. Here we overcome this bottleneck and extend frequency entrainment of quantum continuous-variable oscillators to arbitrary nonlinearities. The previously known steady state of such quantum oscillators in the weakly nonlinear regime (also known as a Stuart-Landau oscillator) is shown to emerge as a special case. Most importantly, the hallmark of strong nonlinearity--relaxation oscillations--is shown in quantum mechanics. Depending on the oscillator's nonlinearity, relaxation oscillations are found to occur via two distinct mechanisms in phase space.

In $L_1L_{K(2)}S^0$ we find all the summands predicted by the Chromatic Splitting Conjecture, but we find some extra summands as well. An essential ingredient in our approach is the analysis of the continuous group cohomology $H^\ast_c(\mathbb{G}_2,E_0)$ where $\mathbb{G}_2$ is the Morava stabilizer group and $E_0 = \mathbb{W}[[u_1]]$ is the ring of functions on the height $2$ Lubin-Tate space. We show that the inclusion of the constants $\mathbb{W} \to E_0$ induces an isomorphism on group cohomology, a radical simplification.

description: A novel flavone, penimethavone A (1), possessing a rare unique methyl group at ring-B, was isolated from the fungus Penicillium chrysogenum cultured from a gorgonian Carijoa sp. collected from the South China Sea. The structure was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and by comparison with related known compound. Compound 1 showed selective and moderate cytotoxicity against cervical cancer (HeLa) and rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines with IC50 values of 8.41 and 8.18 μM, respectively.

description: In order to be convergent, linear multistep methods must be zero stable. While constant step size theory was established in the 1950's, zero stability on nonuniform grids is less well understood. Here we investigate zero stability on compact intervals and smooth nonuniform grids. In practical computations, step size control can be implemented using smooth (small) step size changes. The resulting grid $\{t_n\}_{n=0}^N$ can be modeled as the image of an equidistant grid under a smooth deformation map, i.e., $t_n = Φ(τ_n)$, where $τ_n = n/N$ and the map $Φ$ is monotonically increasing with $Φ(0)=0$ and $Φ(1)=1$. The model is justified for any fixed order method operating in its asymptotic regime when applied to smooth problems, since the step size is then determined by the (smooth) principal error function which determines $Φ$, and a tolerance requirement which determines $N$. Given any strongly stable multistep method, there is an $N^*$ such that the method is zero stable for $N>N^*$, provided that $Φ\in C^2[0,1]$. Thus zero stability holds on all nonuniform grids such that adjacent step sizes satisfy $h_n/h_{n-1} = 1 + \mathrm O(N^{-1})$ as $N\rightarrow\infty$. The results are exemplified for BDF-type methods.

description: Uranium concentration levels in surface waters are of great importance because uranium presents both chemical and radiological hazard to the environment. The subject of this article is to establish that spectrophotometric method for uranium evaluation in effluents collected from liquid waste treatment generated during fabrication of nuclear fuel elements could be replaced by the optical fluorimetric technique. Both methods are briefly described. The comparison of the two methods was carried out with regard to international standards and national regulations offering from a statistical point of view a useful approach to compare two analytical measurement techniques. This methodology can be applied to any other measurement procedures. A discussion about the compliance of the fluorimetric analytical method with the mandatory discharge level of uranium concentration in surface waters is also presented.

description: Acetaminophen (N-acetyl-p-aminophenol, APAP) overdosage can produce fatal centrilobular hepatic necrosis in humans. The present study attempted to investigate the protective effect of an anthocyanin-rich extract from bilberries and blackcurrants (AE) against APAP-induced acute hepatic damage in rats. Treatment with AE normalised blood activities of glutamate oxaloacetate and glutamate pyruvate transaminase and prevented APAP-induced plasmatic and tissutal alterations in biomarkers of oxidative stress, probably due to various bioproperties of the components of the extract.

description: The Cosmic Microwave Background is characterized by temperature and linear polarization fields. Dipole modulation in the temperature field has been extensively studied in the context of hemispherical power asymmetry. In this article, we show that a dipole modulation, and in general, any kind of modulation isn't allowed in the $E$ and $B$ modes. This is the main result of this paper. This result explains why no evidence of modulation in $E$ mode has been found in the literature. On the contrary, the linear polarization fields $Q$ and $U$ have no such restrictions. We show that modulation under certain situations can be thought of as local $U(1)$ gauge transformations on the surface of a sphere. As far as the modulation function is concerned, we show that physical considerations enforce it to be (i) a spin $0$ field and (ii) a scalar under parity. As masking is a specific type of modulation, our study suggests that direct masking of $E$ mode isn't also possible. Masking in the $E$ map can only be applied through $Q$ and $U$ fields. This means that in principle, leaking of $E$ and $B$ mode powers into each other is unavoidable.

description: The HAPSITE® (Hazardous Air Pollutants on Site) is a portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) unit designed to aid air sampling technicians by identifying and quantifying volatile organic compounds from occupational and environmental sampling. The main goal of the present study was to extend prior laboratory-based work with the portable HAPSITE® ER (extended range model) thermal desorption (TD) capability to real-world field samples from both indoor and outdoor environments using different types of active and passive sampling mechanisms. Understanding the performance of the HAPSITE® ER in a realistic field setting will allow air quality sampling technicians to make improved decisions related to sampling and analysis methods in the field. An important finding was that certain charcoal-based TD sorbents were contraindicated for the HAPSITE® ER because of a substantial hydrocarbon bleed which degraded system performance. A novel time series TD sampler (Logistically Enabled Sampling System-Portable [LESS-P]) was validated using Tenax TA TD tubes against standard active sampling across multiple field sampling sites, and the qualitative analytical trends and compound identities were similar between LESS-P replicates analysed via benchtop GC–MS and HAPSITE® ER. Once validated, the LESS-P was used to determine the reference concentrations for passive sampling calculations. The results confirmed the passive sampling methodology within the benchtop system, but highlighted some systemic sensitivity limitations that must be addressed in order for the HAPSITE® to be accurately applied to passive sampling. We propose that the LESS-P time-series sampler may help to alleviate the requirement for sampling technicians to be on-site during active sampling, allowing for automated sampling throughout the duration of a sampling event.
