description: It is shown that a supersymmetric SO(10) model extended with fermion singlets can accommodate the observed neutrino masses and mixings as well as generate the desired lepton asymmetry in concordance with the gravitino constraint. A necessary prediction of the model is near-TeV scale doubly-charged Higgs scalars which should be detectable at the LHC.

description: New transitions in neutron rich $^{100}$Y have been identified in a $^9$Be+$^{238}$U experiment with mass- and Z- gates to provide full fragment identification. These transitions and high spin levels of $^{100}$Y have been investigated by analyzing the high statistics $γ$-$γ$-$γ$ and $γ$-$γ$-$γ$-$γ$ coincidence data from the spontaneous fission of $^{252}$Cf at the Gammasphere detector array. Two new bands, 14 new levels and 23 new transitions have been identified. The $K^π=4^+$ new band decaying to an 1s isomeric state is assigned to be the high-$K$ Gallagher-Moszkowski (GM) partner of the known $K^π=1^+$ band, with the $π5/2[522] \otimes ν3/2[411]$ configuration. This 4$^+$ band is also proposed to be the pseudo spin partner of the new $K^π=5^+$ band with a 5$^{+}$ $π5/2[422] \otimes ν5/2[413]$ configuration, to form a $π5/2[422] \otimes ν[312$ $5/2,3/2]$ neutron pseudospin doublet. Constrained triaxial covariant density functional theory and quantal particle rotor model calculations have been applied to interpret the band structure and available electromagnetic transition probabilities and are found in good agreement with experimental values.

description: Observations of very-high-energy (VHE, E > 250 GeV) gamma-ray emission from several blazars at z > 0.1 have placed stringent constraints on the elusive spectrum and intensity of the intergalactic infrared background radiation (IIBR). Correcting their observed VHE spectrum for gamma-gamma absorption even by the lowest plausible level of the IIBR provided evidence for a very hard (photon spectral index Gamma_{ph} < 2) intrinsic source spectrum out to TeV energies. Such a hard VHE gamma-ray spectrum poses a serious challenge to the conventional synchrotron-self-Compton interpretation of the VHE emission of TeV blazars and suggests the emergence of a separate emission component beyond a few hundred GeV. Here we propose that such a very hard, slowly variable VHE emission component in TeV blazars may be produced via Compton upscattering of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) photons by shock-accelerated electrons in an extended jet. For the case of 1ES 1101-232, this component could dominate the bolometric luminosity of the extended jet if the magnetic fields are of the order of typical intergalactic magnetic fields B ~ 10 micro-Gauss and electrons are still being accelerated out to TeV energies gamma > 4 X 10^6) on kiloparsec scales along the jet.

description: In this paper, we study quantum vacuum fluctuation effects on the mass density of a classical liquid arising from the conical topology of an effective idealized cosmic string spacetime, as well as from the mixed, Dirichlet, and Neumann boundary conditions in Minkowski spacetime. In this context, we consider a phonon field representing quantum excitations of the liquid density, which obeys an effective Klein-Gordon equation with the sound velocity replaced by the light velocity. In the idealized cosmic string spacetime, the phonon field is subject to a quasi-periodic condition. Moreover, in Minkowski spacetime, the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are applied on one and also two parallel planes. We, thus, in each case, obtain closed analytic expressions for the two-point function and the renormalized mean-squared density fluctuation of the liquid. We point out specific characteristics of the latter by plotting their graphs.

description: In this talk, we will present results from a multi-rotor wake measurement campaign carried out in a collaboration between DTU Wind Energy and Vestas. The wake of the Vestas multi-rotor wind turbine demonstrator, which was located at the Risø campus, has been measured using a dual-Doppler system accompanied by a 15-m mast and a profiling lidar. The measurements were carried out during a three-month period from mid of August until mid of November 2018. The focus of the campaign was to create a high-quality benchmark data set for the analysis of the wake geometry, and especially the wake propagation, decay and wind field recovery speed.
An iterative general inverse kinematics solution with variable damping
Creators: name: Chan, Stephen K. C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Currently, there is much interest in the field of robotics in researching methods of obtaining inverse kinematics solutions for arbitrary manipulators. Simple closed-form inverse kinematics equations can be obtained for a few joint configurations using geometric methods. However, there exist many manipulators which were not originally designed for kinematic control which do not have simple closed-form inverse kinematics equations. An efficient and stable iterative method is investigated in this thesis which solves the general inverse kinematics problem without detailed analysis of the manipulator's structure. The proposed iterative inverse kinematics algorithm combines a calibration procedure to estimate the manipulator's Denavit-Hartenberg parameters with an iterative method using the Jacobian and damped joint corrections. The kinematics control algorithm parameters are selected with a computer graphics simulation of the manipulator. The proposed inverse kinematics algorithm is tested with a simulation of an industrial manipulator arm which does not have a closed-form solution, RSI Robotic Systems International's Kodiak arm, and exhibits stability in all regions of operation and fast convergence over most regions of operation.

description: (abridged abstract) We present an analysis of the stellar mass growth over the last 10 Gyrs using a large 3.6$μ$ selected sample. We split our sample into active (blue) and quiescent (red) galaxies. Our measurements of the K-LFs and LD evolution support the idea that a large fraction of galaxies is already assembled at $z\sim 1.2$. Based on the analysis of the evolution of the stellar mass-to-light ratio (in K-band) for the spectroscopic sub-sample, we derive the stellar mass density for the entire sample. We find that the global evolution of the stellar mass density is well reproduced by the star formation rate derived from UV dust corrected measurements. Over the last 8Gyrs, we observe that the stellar mass density of the active population remains approximately constant while it gradually increases for the quiescent population over the same timescale. As a consequence, the growth of the stellar mass in the quiescent population must be due to the shutoff of star formation in active galaxies that migrate into the quiescent population. From $z=2$ to $z=1.2$, we observe a major build-up of the quiescent population with an increase by a factor of 10 in stellar mass, suggesting that we are observing the epoch when an increasing fraction of galaxies are ending their star formation activity and start to build up the red sequence.

description: The LISA mission will likely be a signal dominated detector, such that one challenge is the separation of the different astrophysical sources, and to distinguish between them and the instrumental noise. One of the goals of LISA is to probe the early Universe by detecting stochastic GW backgrounds. As correlation with other detectors is not possible for LISA, discrimination of such a GW background from the instrumental noise requires a good estimate of the latter. To this purpose we have revisited Time Delay Interferometry (TDI) to look for new TDI signal combinations that fulfill the laser frequency noise suppression requirements. We illustrate that it is possible to do a linear combination of these TDI channels to find special null-combinations that suppress gravitational waves and mainly carry information about instrumental noise. We find that there exist many null-combinations that show different sensitivities to gravitational waves, some of which seem more suitable than the traditional T combination for estimating test-mass acceleration noise. In an idealised LISA configuration, they are all sensitive to a particular linear combination of the six test-masses acceleration, similar to a rigid rotation of the LISA triangle. In the following article, we illustrate what are the noise properties that can be extracted by monitoring these interferometry signals and discuss the implication of these findings for the detection of stochastic GW backgrounds.

description: We present results from the Chandra X-ray observation of Abell 13, a galaxy cluster that contains an unusual noncentral radio source, also known as a radio relic. This is the first pointed X-ray observation of Abell 13, providing a more sensitive study of the properties of the X-ray gas. The X-ray emission from Abell 13 is extended to the northwest of the X-ray peak and shows substructure indicative of a recent merger event. The cluster X-ray emission is centered on the bright galaxy H of Slee et al. 2001. We find no evidence for a cooling flow in the cluster. A knot of excess X-ray emission is coincident with the other bright elliptical galaxy F. This knot of emission has properties similar to the enhanced emission associated with the large galaxies in the Coma cluster. With these Chandra data we are able to compare the properties of the hot X-ray gas with those of the radio relic from VLA data, to study the interaction of the X-ray gas with the radio emitting electrons. Our results suggest that the radio relic is associated with cooler gas in the cluster. We suggest two explanations for the coincidence of the cooler gas and radio source. First, the gas may have been uplifted by the radio relic from the cluster core. Alternatively, the relic and cool gas may have been displaced from the central galaxy during the cluster merger event.

A prioritization is applied in other pulsatile signals based on the amplitude and clarity of the peaks on them, and a fusion strategy is employed for segments on which ECG is noisy and other available signals in the data, which contain peaks corresponding to R peak of the ECG, are scored in three steps scoring function.

description: We study the critical dynamics of the generalized Smoluchowski-Poisson system (for self-gravitating Langevin particles) or generalized Keller-Segel model (for the chemotaxis of bacterial populations). These models [Chavanis & Sire, PRE, 69, 016116 (2004)] are based on generalized stochastic processes leading to the Tsallis statistics. The equilibrium states correspond to polytropic configurations with index $n$ similar to polytropic stars in astrophysics. At the critical index $n_{3}=d/(d-2)$ (where $d\ge 2$ is the dimension of space), there exists a critical temperature $Θ_{c}$ (for a given mass) or a critical mass $M_{c}$ (for a given temperature). For $Θ>Θ_{c}$ or $MM_{c}$ the system collapses and forms, in a finite time, a Dirac peak containing a finite fraction $M_c$ of the total mass surrounded by a halo. This study extends the critical dynamics of the ordinary Smoluchowski-Poisson system and Keller-Segel model in $d=2$ corresponding to isothermal configurations with $n_{3}\to +\infty$. We also stress the analogy between the limiting mass of white dwarf stars (Chandrasekhar's limit) and the critical mass of bacterial populations in the generalized Keller-Segel model of chemotaxis.

description: The origin of the black hole mergers detected by LIGO and Virgo remains an open question. While the unusual mass and spin of a few events constrain their possible astrophysical formation mechanisms, it is difficult to classify the bulk of the observed mergers. Here we consider the distribution of masses and spins in LIGO/Virgo's first and second observing catalogs, and find that for a significant fraction (25%) of these detected events, an AGN-disk origin model is preferred over a parametric mass-spin model fit to the full GWTC-2 merger sample (Bayes factor $\mathcal{B}>10$). We use this to estimate the black hole merger rate in AGNs to be about $2.8\pm 1.8$\, Gpc$^{-3}$yr$^{-1}$, comparable to theoretical expectations. We find that AGNs can explain the rate and mass distribution of the observed events with primary black hole mass in the pair-instability mass gap ($M\gtrsim50$\, M$_\odot$).

We introduce the notion of a T-representation homotopy, which is a stringent form of homotopy under which Chen-Ruan cohomology is invariant. We show that while hyperkahler quotients of the cotangent bundle to a complex vector space by a circle S^1 (here termed weighted hyperprojective spaces) are homotopy equivalent to weighted projective spaces, they are not S^1-representation homotopic. Indeed, we show that their Chen-Ruan cohomology rings (over the rationals) are distinct.

description: Nonverbal communication, in particular eye contact, is a critical element of the music classroom, shown to keep students on task, coordinate musical flow, and communicate improvisational ideas. Unfortunately, this nonverbal aspect to performance and pedagogy is lost in the virtual classroom. In this paper, we propose a machine learning system which uses single instance, single camera image frames as input to estimate the gaze target of a user seated in front of their computer, augmenting the user's video feed with a display of the estimated gaze target and thereby restoring nonverbal communication of directed gaze. The proposed estimation system consists of modular machine learning blocks, leading to a target-oriented (rather than coordinate-oriented) gaze prediction. We instantiate one such example of the complete system to run a pilot study in a virtual music classroom over Zoom software. Inference time and accuracy meet benchmarks for videoconferencing applications, and quantitative and qualitative results of pilot experiments include improved success of cue interpretation and student-reported formation of collaborative, communicative relationships between conductor and musician.

description: In any attempt to build a quantum theory of gravity, a central issue is to unravel the structure of space-time at the smallest scale. Of particular relevance is the possible definition of coordinate functions within the theory and the study of their algebraic properties, such as non-commutativity. Here we approach this issue from the perspective of loop quantum gravity and the picture of quantum geometry that the formalism offers. In particular, as we argue here, this emerging picture has two main elements: i) The nature of the quantum geometry at Planck scale is one-dimensional, polymeric with quantized geometrical quantities and; ii) Appropriately defined operators corresponding to coordinates by means of intrinsic, relational, constructions become non-commuting. This particular feature of the operators, that operationally localize points on space, gives rise to an emerging geometry that is also, in a precise sense, fuzzy.

description: In book: Theorizing Central Asian Politics  The State, Ideology and Power

The authors argue that to present liberalism in a Rawlsian way, as rights-based and premised on achieving social justice, can be crucial to nourishing liberal values in post-Soviet context. The Maturidi Islam, to which a majority of Central Asian Muslims, at least nominally, belong in creed, can be qualified as epistemologically rationalistic. However, the critical characteristics of its rationalistic theology became eroded and lost. Although the negative predisposition of Central Asian peoples towards liberalism is a matter of fact (which can be seen as a result of misperceptions and an information war, as well as the repercussions of the Soviet-infused identity-building), achieving coexistence between the development of egalitarian and religiously inclusive Rawlsian political liberalism and religious revival based on rationalistic Islam, in the final account, is not impossible in post-atheistic Central Asia.

People Endorse Harsher Policies in Principle Than in Practice: Asymmetric Beliefs About Which Errors to Prevent Versus Fix

Publisher: name: OSF Registries

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: Administering punishments and rewards inevitably requires resolving trade-offs between different types of errors, and there is often considerable debate about which are the most problematic. For example, some promote aggressive law enforcement tactics out of concern for false negatives (e.g., “tough-on-crime”), while others seek exoneration of the wrongfully convicted out of concern for false positives (e.g., The Innocence Project). This research develops a generalizable framework for understanding these beliefs. Specifically, we find that people are concerned with different errors when evaluating proposed policies (i.e., considering errors to prevent) than when evaluating existing policies (i.e., considering errors to fix), depending on whether they pertain to punishments or rewards. As such, framing a policy one way or another (e.g., describing affirmative action as rewarding the under-represented or punishing the over-represented) can similarly shift preferences. This research accordingly provides a novel theoretical lens for understanding real-world phenomena spanning political, managerial, and marketing contexts.

Gallium arsenide integrated circuit modeling, layout and fabrication
Creators: name: Rutherford, William C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The object of the work described in this thesis was to develop GaAs integrated circuit modeling techniques based on a modified version of SPICE 2, then layout, fabricate, model and test ion implanted GaAs MESFET integrated sample and hold circuits. A large signal GaAs MESFET model was used in SPICE to evaluate the relative performance of inverted common drain logic (ICDL) digital integrated circuits compared to other circuit configurations. The integrated sample and hold subsequently referred to as an integrated sampling amplifier block(ISAB), uses a MESFET switch with either one or two guard gates to suppress strobe feedthrough. Performance guidelines suggested by the project sponsor indicate an optimal switch sampling pulse width capability of 25 ps with 5 ps rise and fall time. Guard gates are included in the switch layout to evaluate pulse feedthrough minimization. The project sponsor suggested -20 dB pulse feedthrough isolation and minimum sampling switch off isolation of -20 dB at 10 GHz as project guidelines. Simulations indicate that a 0.5 µm gate length process approaches the suggested performance guidelines. A mask layout was designed and modeled including both selective implant and refractory self aligned gate processes. The refractory self aligned gate process plasma etched t-gate structure produces a sub 0.5 µm gate length.

description: A model of dark matter and dark energy based on the concept of gravitational polarization is investigated. We propose an action in standard general relativity for describing, at some effective or phenomenological level, the dynamics of a dipolar medium, i.e. one endowed with a dipole moment vector, and polarizable in a gravitational field. Using first-order cosmological perturbations, we show that the dipolar fluid is undistinguishable from standard dark energy (a cosmological constant Lambda) plus standard dark matter (a pressureless perfect fluid), and therefore benefits from the successes of the Lambda-CDM (Lambda-cold dark matter) scenario at cosmological scales. Invoking an argument of "weak clusterisation" of the mass distribution of dipole moments, we find that the dipolar dark matter reproduces the phenomenology of the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) at galactic scales. The dipolar medium action naturally contains a cosmological constant, and we show that if the model is to come from some fundamental underlying physics, the cosmological constant Lambda should be of the order of a0^2/c^4, where a0 denotes the MOND constant acceleration scale, in good agreement with observations.

Relating gravitational wave constraints from primordial nucleosynthesis, pulsar timing, laser interferometers, and the CMB: implications for the early universe

description: We derive a general master equation relating the gravitational-wave observables r and Omega_gw(f). Here r is the tensor-to-scalar ratio, constrained by cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) experiments; and Omega_gw(f) is the energy spectrum of primordial gravitational-waves, constrained e.g. by pulsar-timing measurements, laser-interferometer experiments, and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). Differentiating the master equation yields a new expression for the tilt d(ln Omega_gw(f))/d(ln f). The relationship between r and Omega_gw(f) depends sensitively on the uncertain physics of the early universe, and we show that this uncertainty may be encapsulated (in a model-independent way) by two quantities: w_hat(f) and nt_hat(f), where nt_hat(f) is a certain logarithmic average over nt(k) (the primordial tensor spectral index); and w_hat(f) is a certain logarithmic average over w_tilde(a) (the effective equation-of-state in the early universe, after horizon re-entry). Here the effective equation-of-state parameter w_tilde(a) is a combination of the ordinary equation-of-state parameter w(a) and the bulk viscosity zeta(a). Thus, by comparing constraints on r and Omega_gw(f), one can obtain (remarkably tight) constraints in the [w_hat(f), nt_hat(f)] plane. In particular, this is the best way to constrain (or detect) the presence of a ``stiff'' energy component (with w > 1/3) in the early universe, prior to BBN. Finally, although most of our analysis does not assume inflation, we point out that if CMB experiments detect a non-zero value for r, then we will immediately obtain (as a free by-product) a new upper bound w_hat < 0.55 on the logarithmically averaged effective equation-of-state parameter during the ``primordial dark age'' between the end of inflation and the start of BBN.

description: We perform binary neutron star merger simulations using a newly derived set of finite-temperature equations of state in the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach. We point out the important and opposite roles of finite temperature and rotation for stellar stability and systematically investigate the gravitational-wave properties, matter distribution, and ejecta properties in the postmerger phase for the different cases. The validity of several universal relations is also examined and the most suitable EOSs are identified.

description: We study the future evolution of quintessence/phantom dominated epoch in modified $F(R)$-gravity which unifies the early-time inflation with late-time acceleration and which is consistent with observational tests. Using the reconstruction technique it is demonstrated that there are models where any known (Big Rip, II, III or IV Type) singularity may classically occur. From another side, in Einstein frame (scalar-tensor description) only IV Type singularity occurs. Near the singularity the classical description breaks up, it is demonstrated that quantum effects act against the singularity and may prevent its appearance. The realistic $F(R)$-gravity which is future singularity free is proposed. We point out that additional modification of any $F(R)$-gravity by the terms relevant at the early universe is possible, in such a way that future singularity does not occur even classically.

description: Das Projekt Interact for School (I4S; April 2020 – Dezember 2023) ist eine interdisziplinäre Forschungskooperation zwischen der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, der Universität Tübingen, und der Technischen Universität Dortmund. Ziel des Projekts war die Implementierung des FeedBook, eines intelligenten plattformbasierten Tutorensystems, das digitale Englisch als Fremdsprachen (EFL)-Übungen und scaffolded Echtzeit-Feedback zur Grammatik bereitstellt und vollständig in den Unterricht und den Lehrplan der Klasse 7 integriert ist. Die digitalen Übungen konzentrieren sich auf eine Auswahl englischer Grammatikstrukturen, die kommunikative Funktionen unterstützen und zur Vorbereitung auf unterrichtsbezogene Zielaufgaben (Target-Tasks) dienen. Vier Sets von Unterrichtsmaterialien, die jeweils eine kommunikative Zielaufgabe enthalten, wurden zusammen mit den entsprechenden vier digitalen Übungsphasen (Zyklen) entwickelt. Die vorliegenden Klassenmaterialien beziehen sich auf Zyklus 1, der einen grammatikalischen Schwerpunkt auf dem Past Simple, dem Gerundium und den Modalverben und einen thematischen Schwerpunkt auf ‚Giving Advice‘ hatte.

The aim of the project was to implement FeedBook, an intelligent platform-based tutoring system that provides digital English as a Foreign Language (EFL) exercises and scaffolded real-time feedback on grammar and is fully integrated into the secondary Grade 7 classroom and curriculum. The digital exercises focus on a selection of English grammar structures that support communicative functions and serve as preparation for lesson-related target tasks. Four sets of teaching materials, each containing a communicative target task, have been developed together with the corresponding four digital practice phases (cycles). These class materials relate to Cycle 1, which had a grammatical focus on the past simple, the gerund and modal verbs and a thematic focus on 'giving advice'.
