description: Identifying and measuring the "localization length'' in many-body systems in the vicinity of a many-body localization transition is difficult. Following Hatano and Nelson, a recent work (Heuben, White, Refael, PRB 103, 064201 (2021)) introduced an "imaginary vector potential'' to a disordered ring of interacting fermions, in order to define a many-body localization length (corresponding, in the non-interacting case, to the end-to-end Green's function of the hermitian system). We extend these results, by connecting this localization length to the length scale appearing in the avalanche model of delocalization. We use this connection to derive the distribution of the localization length at the MBL transition, finding good agreement with our numerical observations. Our results demonstrate how a localization length defined as such probes the localization of the underlying ring, without the need to explicitly construct the l-bits.

description: Although emerging as a new economic force in the world, Asian regions are facing various issues with their development being challenged by the negative impacts of rapid urbanization, rapid population growth and increasing demands on remaining natural resources and related services. Within the overall research focusing on the impacts of ecological risks to food and health security conducted in the Laguna Lake Region, Philippines, the present study emphasizes on flood risk assessment, measurement of resilience level of city and its community to flood disasters and finally on the impacts of flood risks to food and health security of communities. Economic activities, population increase, industrialization and rapid urbanization have been occurring in the region leading to another dimension of vulnerability of the natural and socioeconomic system affecting food and health security. In addition, increased human settlements, agricultural activities, and industrial development, ecological risks have caused significant impacts on agricultural, food and water supply on which public health heavily depends. Food and health risks, which result from both inadequate supply as well as poor quality of food, and water, are contributing significantly to the public health conditions. This problem is worsened by reported impacts of a changing climate felt directly by farmers, rural and urban dwellers, often characterized by increased flooding, landslides and drought. Therefore, already threatened by the above risks, the region is often experiencing flood disasters, following typhoons, or heavy monsoon rains leading to heavy casualties and grave public health issues sue to the spread of diseases and submersion and also aggravated by resulting food security problems. Flood risks, also shaped by various factors such as social, physical and environmental vulnerability, need therefore to be determined in order to have a full knowledge of what are or might be happening and how it affects resilience to flooding and impacts food and health security of Laguna Lake community. Data collection is based on literature review, questionnaire survey, interviews and focus group discussions. Data analysis is conducted by using statistical tools and GIS-based modeling and mapping.

description: Recent measurements of the CR antiproton flux have been shown to pose a problem for conventional propagation models. In particular, models consistent with secondary/primary nuclei ratio in CR produce too few antiprotons, while matching the ratio and the antiproton flux requires ad hoc assumptions. This may indicate an additional local CR component or new phenomena in CR propagation in the Galaxy. We discuss several possibilities which may cause this problem.

description: We studied the aperiodic X-ray timing behaviour of the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658. The source was recently found to be the first accreting millisecond pulsar that shows the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kilohertz QPOs) that are found in many other X-ray binaries with accreting neutron stars. The high frequency of these signals reflects the short dynamical time scales in the region near the compact object where they originate. We find that in addition to the kilohertz QPOs SAX J1808.4-3658 shows several low frequency timing features, based on which the source can be classified as a so-called atoll source. The frequencies of the variability components of the atoll sources follow a universal scheme of correlations. The correlations in SAX J1808.4-3658 are similar but show a shift in upper kilohertz QPO frequency. This discrepancy is perhaps related to a stronger or differently configured magnetic field.

description: Context. Findings by the Helios and STEREO mission have indicated the presence of a resonant circumsolar ring of dust associated with Venus. Attempts to model this phenomenon as an analogue to the resonant ring of Earth - as a result of migrating dust trapped in external mean-motion resonances (MMRs) - have so far been unable to reproduce the observed dust feature. Other theories of origin have recently been put forward. However, the reason for the low trapping efficiency of Venus's external MMRs remains unclear. Aims. Here we look into the nature of the dust trapping resonant phenomena that arise from the multi-planet configuration of the inner Solar System, aiming to add to the existent understanding of resonant dust rings in single planet systems. Methods. We numerically modelled resonant dust features associated with the inner planets and specifically looked into the dependency of these structures and the trapping efficiency of particular resonances on the configuration of planets. Results. Besides Mercury showing no resonant interaction with the migrating dust cloud, we find Venus, Earth, and Mars to considerably interfere with each other's resonances, influencing their ability to form circumsolar rings. We find that the single most important reason for the weakness of Venus's external MMR ring is the perturbing influence of its outer neighbour - Earth. In addition, we find Mercury and Mars to produce crescent-shaped density features, caused by a directed apsidal precession occurring in particles traversing their orbital region.

New Legal Challenges: New EC Privacy Regulation. Data Preservation and Data Sharing in Danger?
Creators: name: Kvalheim, Vigdis
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: On January 25th the European Commission published its proposal for a new European Data Protection Regulation. In December the European Parliament published its proposed amendments to thenbsp;EC draft. The proposed regulation will replace the 1995 Data Protection Directive. The new EC regulation will affect large areas of European research, and how it subsquently will be implemented and practiced, is of great interest to European researchers as wel as research infrastructures. The amendments proposed by the parliament include restrictive proposals for historical, statistical and scientific purposes. The reactions in the academic community across Europe have therefore been that of surprise and deep concern, in particular with the possible negative impacts on register based research and the possibilities for long-term preservation and data sharing across Europe. The old Directive from 1995 was not drafted with research interest in mind, but following an extensive consultation procedure that resulted in systematic submissions and political actions from several key players in the research sector, it nevertheless contains several important exemption provisions for scientific purposes. Today EC regulation affords research a privileged position in order to meet and highlight the research sector's legitimate need to process personal data. For empirical research across Europe it is crucial that the research exemptions are continued and if possible improved in the new Regulation. In DASISH WP6 we focus on legal and ethical issues, constraints and requirement for data use, data preservation and sharing for all types of data in the SSH domain. In that nbsp;context the proposed legal framework and how it balances the interest in privacy and research is important. In this presentation we look at this balance and how it may shift in favor of privacy if the amendments proposed by the European Parliament are implemented in its present form. We go on to argue that this may have unintended consequences for research and its contribution to society.

description: Fusion barriers are determined in the framework of the Skyrme energy-density functional together with the semi-classical approach known as the Extended Thomas-Fermi method. The barriers obtained in this way with the Skyrme interaction SkM* turn out to be close to those generated by phenomenological models like those using the proximity potentials. It is also shown that the location and the structure of the fusion barrier in the vicinity of its maximum and beyond can be quite accurately described by a simple analytical form depending only on the masses and the relative isospin of target and projectile nucleus.

description: Sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) is a challenging task due to the large cross-domain gap between sketches and natural images. How to align abstract sketches and natural images into a common high-level semantic space remains a key problem in SBIR. In this paper, we propose a novel semi-heterogeneous three-way joint embedding network (Semi3-Net), which integrates three branches (a sketch branch, a natural image branch, and an edgemap branch) to learn more discriminative cross-domain feature representations for the SBIR task. The key insight lies with how we cultivate the mutual and subtle relationships amongst the sketches, natural images, and edgemaps. A semi-heterogeneous feature mapping is designed to extract bottom features from each domain, where the sketch and edgemap branches are shared while the natural image branch is heterogeneous to the other branches. In addition, a joint semantic embedding is introduced to embed the features from different domains into a common high-level semantic space, where all of the three branches are shared. To further capture informative features common to both natural images and the corresponding edgemaps, a co-attention model is introduced to conduct common channel-wise feature recalibration between different domains. A hybrid-loss mechanism is designed to align the three branches, where an alignment loss and a sketch-edgemap contrastive loss are presented to encourage the network to learn invariant cross-domain representations. Experimental results on two widely used category-level datasets (Sketchy and TU-Berlin Extension) demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

description: We have studied the dust along the line-of-sight towards the Galactic Center using Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) data obtained with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). We focussed on the wavelength region from 8-13 micron which is dominated by the strong silicate absorption feature. Using the absorption profiles observed towards Galactic Center Sources (GCS) 3 and 4, which are C-rich Wolf-Rayet Stars, as reference objects, we are able to disentangle the interstellar silicate absorption and the silicate emission intrinsic to the source, toward Sgr A* and derive a very accurate profile for the intrinsic 9.7 micron band. The interstellar absorption band is smooth and featureless and is well reproduced using a mixture of 15.1% amorphous pyroxene and 84.9% of amorphous olivine by mass, all in spherical sub-micron-sized grains. There is no direct evidence for substructure due to interstellar crystalline silicates. We are able to determine an upper limit to the degree of crystallinity of silicates in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM), and conclude that the crystalline fraction of the interstellar silicates is 0.2% (+/- 0.2%) by mass. This is much lower than the degree of crystallinity observed in silicates in the circumstellar environment of evolved stars, the main contributors of dust to the ISM. There are two possible explanations for this discrepancy. First, an amorphization process occurs in the ISM on a time scale significantly shorter than the destruction time scale, possibly caused by particle bombardment by heavyweight ions. Second, we consider the possibility that the crystalline silicates in stellar ejecta are diluted by an additional source of amorphous silicates, in particular supernovae.

description: We present the results from a monitoring campaign made with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory of the M51 galaxies, which contain several variable ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). The ongoing campaign started in May 2018, and we report here on $\sim1.5$ years of observations. The campaign, which consists of 105 observations, has a typical cadence of 3--6 days, and has the goal of determining the long-term X-ray variability of the ULXs. Two of the most variable sources were ULX7 and ULX8, both of which are known to be powered by neutron stars that are exceeding their isotropic Eddington luminosities by factors of up to 100. This is further evidence that neutron star powered ULXs are the most variable. Our two main results are, first, that ULX7 exhibits a periodic flux modulation with a period of 38 days varying over a magnitude and a half in flux from peak to trough. Since the orbital period of the system is known to be 2 days, the modulation is super-orbital, which is a near-ubiquitous property of ULX pulsars. Secondly we identify a new transient ULX, M51 XT-1, the onset of which occurred during our campaign, reaching a peak luminosity of $\sim10^{40}$ erg s$^{-1}$, before gradually fading over the next $\sim200$ days until it slipped below the detection limit of our observations. Combined with the high-quality Swift/XRT lightcurve of the transient, serendipitous observations made with Chandra and XMM-Newton provide insights into the onset and evolution of a likely super-Eddington event.

description: The undesirable side effects of conventional chemotherapy are one of the major problems associated with cancer treatment. Recently, with the development of novel nanomaterials, tumor-targeted therapies have been invented in order to achieve more specific cancer treatment with reduced unfavorable side effects of chemotherapic agents on human cells. However, the clinical application of nanomedicines has some shortages, such as the reduced ability to cross biological barriers and undesirable side effects in normal cells. In this order, bioinspired materials are developed to minimize the related side effects due to their excellent biocompatibility and higher accumulation therapies. As bioinspired and biomimetic materials are mainly composed of a nanometric functional agent and a biologic component, they can possess both the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials and the advantages of biologic agents, such as prolonged circulation time, enhanced biocompatibility, immune modulation, and specific targeting for cancerous cells. Among the nanomaterials, asymmetric nanomaterials have gained attention as they provide a larger surface area with more active functional sites compared to symmetric nanomaterials. Additionally, the asymmetric nanomaterials are able to function as two or more distinct components due to their asymmetric structure. The mentioned properties result in unique physiochemical properties of asymmetric nanomaterials, which makes them desirable materials for anti-cancer drug delivery systems or cancer bio-imaging systems. In this review, we discuss the use of bioinspired and biomimetic materials in the treatment of cancer, with a special focus on asymmetric nanoparticle anti-cancer agents.

description: Published data and data collected locally for this study were used to examine and describe how dairy farming and the economy have changed in the Green Isle area of Sibley County, Minnesota during the last twenty-five years. Interviews with current and former business owners and operators, farmers, city officials, and other residents were used to determine whether and how changes in dairy farming were responsible for changes in the Green Isle economy. The move from dairy to cash crops and Its impact on the economy were examined as well. Data and information collected from interviews with business owners and operators in Waconia, Minnesota were used to determine the importance of dairy farming to a local economy and to examine how businesses that are relatively close to a metropolitan area adjusted to a declining dairy sector. Changes in the Green Isle economy were found to be linked to changes in dairy farming and the move out of dairy and into cash crops. The impact of the switch from dairy to cash crops had a more significant impact than did changes in dairy farming methods and technology. Three key conclusions related to these findings are: one, not all dairy operations are the same in terms of their impact on the local economy; two, different types of agriculture have different impacts on a local economy; and three, what may be good for the farmer is not always good for the community. As the distance to a metropolitan area increases, the economic impacts of changes in farming are more severe.

description: The probability of a given candidate winning a future election is worked out in closed form as a function of (i) the current support rates for each candidate, (ii) the relative positioning of the candidates within the political spectrum, (iii) the time left to the election, and (iv) the rate at which noisy information is revealed to the electorate from now to the election day, when there are three or more candidates. It is shown, in particular, that the optimal strategy for controlling information can be intricate and nontrivial, in contrast to a two-candidate race. A surprising finding is that for a candidate taking the centre ground in an electoral competition among a polarised electorate, certain strategies are fatal in that the resulting winning probability for that candidate vanishes identically.

description: We study the effects on cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropies of spatial fluctuations of the fine-structure parameter between causally disconnected regions of the Universe at the time of recombination. Analogous to weak gravitational lensing, in addition to modifying the mean power spectra and inducing a curl component (B mode) to the polarization, spatial fluctuations of the fine-structure parameter induce higher-order (non-Gaussian) temperature and polarization correlations in the CMB. We calculate these effects for the general case of arbitrary correlation between temperature fluctuations and fine-structure parameter fluctuations, and show the results for a model where these two types of fluctuations are uncorrelated. The formalism we present here may also be applied to other modifications of recombination physics that do not significantly alter the evolution of the dominant density perturbations. We discuss the constraints on the effective Lagrangian for variable fine-structure parameter necessary to realize this scenario.

description: The era of fully autonomous, electrified taxi fleets is rapidly approaching, and with it the opportunity to innovate myriad on-demand services that extend beyond the realm of human mobility. This project envisions a future where autonomous plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) fleets can be dispatched as both a taxi service and a source of on-demand power serving customers during power outages. We develop a PDE-based scheme to manage the optimal dispatch of an autonomous fleet to serve passengers and electric power demand during outages as an additional stream of revenue. We use real world power outage and taxi data from San Francisco for our case study, modeling the optimal dispatch of several fleet sizes over the course of one day; we examine both moderate and extreme outage scenarios. In the moderate scenario, the revenue earned serving power demand is negligible compared with revenue earned serving passenger trips. In the extreme scenario, supplying power accounts for between $1 and $2 million, amounting to between 32\% and 40\% more revenue than is earned serving mobility only, depending on fleet size. While the overall value of providing on-demand power depends on the frequency and severity of power outages, our results show that serving power demand during large-scale outages can provide a substantial value stream, comparable to the value to be earned providing grid services.

description: In the case of diabetes, fingertip pricking for a blood sample is inconvenient for glucose measurement. Invasive approaches like laboratory test and one-touch glucometer enhance the risk of blood-related infections. To mitigate this important issue, in the current paper, we propose a novel Internet-of-Medical-Things (IoMT) enabled edge-device for precise, non-invasive blood glucose measurement. In this work, a near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic technique using two wavelengths (940 nm, 1300 nm) is taken to detect the glucose molecule from human blood. The novel device called iGLU is based on NIR spectroscopy and machine learning (ML) models of high accuracy. An optimal multiple polynomial regression model and deep neural network (DNN) model have been presented for precise measurement. The proposed device is validated and blood glucose values are stored on the cloud using open IoT platform for remote monitoring by an endocrinologist. For device validation, the estimated blood glucose values have been compared with blood glucose values obtained from the invasive device. It has been observed that mean absolute relative difference (MARD) and average error (AvgE) are found 4.66 % and 4.61 % respectively from predicted blood glucose concentration values. The regression coefficient is found 0.81. The proposed spectroscopic non-invasive device provides accurate and cost-effective solution for smart healthcare.

description: The mass discrepancy in disk galaxies is shown to be well correlated with acceleration, increasing systematically with decreasing acceleration below a critical scale a0 = 3700 km^2/s^2/kpc = 1.2E-10 m/s/s. For each galaxy, there is an optimal choice of stellar mass-to-light ratio which minimizes the scatter in this mass discrepancy-acceleration relation. The same mass-to-light ratios also minimize the scatter in the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation and are in excellent agreement with the expectations of stellar population synthesis. Once the disk mass is determined in this fashion, the dark matter distribution is specified. The circular velocity attributable to the dark matter can be expressed as a simple equation which depends only on the observed distribution of baryonic mass. It is a challenge to understand how this very fine-tuned coupling between mass and light comes about.

description: This paper investigates the impact of a higher import of cabbage after Thailand’s FTA with trade partners enacted. A system of cabbage demand, supply and harvested area equations are estimated using time-series data and GMM estimation. The results reveal that an increase in cabbage import quantity will significantly reduce the domestic price, harvested area, and supply as well as farmers’ welfare. Using the producer surplus as a welfare measurement, our calculation shows that Thai cabbage farmers as a whole will lose money of 56,359,884 Baht. In the short run, production subsidies might be needed to alleviate the harmful effects on the farmers. However, in the long run, in order to avoid economic inefficiency due to production subsidies, food safety standards for cabbage import should be established. In addition, government should encourage the farmers to adopt GAP which helps improve their yields as well as product quality and farm gate price, and reduce their production costs, so that they can compete with cabbage imports.

description: We compute the Coulomb branch partition function of the 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ vector multiplet on closed simply-connected quasi-toric manifolds $B$. This includes a large class of theories, localising to either instantons or anti-instantons at the torus fixed points (including Donaldson-Witten and Pestun-like theories as examples). The main difficulty is to obtain flux contributions from the localisation procedure. We achieve this by taking a detour via the 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ vector multiplet on closed simply-connected toric Sasaki-manifolds $M$ which are principal $S^1$-bundles over $B$. The perturbative partition function can be expressed as a product over slices of the toric cone. By taking finite quotients $M/\mathbb{Z}_h$ along the $S^1$, the locus picks up non-trivial flat connections which, in the limit $h\to\infty$, provide the sought-after fluxes on $B$. We compute the one-loop partition functions around each topological sector on $M/\mathbb{Z}_h$ and $B$ explicitly, and then factorise them into contributions from the torus fixed points. This enables us to also write down the conjectured instanton part of the partition function on $B$.

description: In this paper we show how the Kolm triangle method, which is a standard tool for visualizing allocations in a public good economy, can also be used to provide a diagrammatical exposition of matching mechanisms and their effects on public good supply and welfare. In particular, we describe, on the one hand, for which income distributions interior matching equilibria result and, on the other hand, for which income distributions the agents voluntarily participate in a matching mechanism. As a novel result, we especially show that the “participation zone” is larger than the “interiority zone”.

description: Additional file 2 tTACs and the corresponding Logan plot. The upper panel shows the mean tTACs of the region of interest (BPND=3.00) and the reference region. The lower panel shows the corresponding Logan plot. By visual observation of where the data points in the Logan plot attain a linear relationship, the point corresponding to Time=30 minutes was chosen; hence, tâˆ—=30 min was used in this study. The data points (in the lower panel) used for BPND estimation are dotted in the middle.
New insights on proton structure from lattice QCD: the twist-3 parton distribution function $g_T(x)$

description: In this work, we present the first-ever calculation of the isovector flavor combination of the twist-3 parton distribution function $g_T(x)$ for the proton from lattice QCD. We use an ensemble of gauge configurations with two degenerate light, a strange and a charm quark ($N_f=2+1+1$) of maximally twisted mass fermions with a clover improvement. The lattice has a spatial extent of 3~fm, lattice spacing of 0.093~fm, and reproduces a pion mass of $260$ MeV. We use the quasi-distribution approach and employ three values of the proton momentum boost, 0.83 GeV, 1.25 GeV, and 1.67 GeV. We use a source-sink separation of 1.12~fm to suppress excited-states contamination. The lattice data are renormalized non-perturbatively. We calculate the matching equation within Large Momentum Effective Theory, which is applied to the lattice data in order to obtain $g_T$. The final distribution is presented in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme at a scale of 2 GeV. We also calculate the helicity distribution $g_1$ to test the Wandzura-Wilczek approximation for $g_T$. We find that the approximation works well for a broad range of $x$. This work demonstrates the feasibility of accessing twist-3 parton distribution functions from novel methods within lattice QCD and can provide essential insights into the structure of hadrons.

description: The purpose of the DREAM project's Data Management Plan (DMP) is to plan the management of the data which will collected, processed or generated in the framework of the project. The DMP will help ensure the data is managed according to the Horizon Europe FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Re-usability). The DMP will be produced using the Horizon Europe Data Management Plan Template. It will be updated for each periodic report of the DREAM project.
Improved phase locking of laser arrays with nonlinear coupling

description: An arrangement based on a degenerate cavity laser for forming an array of non-linearly coupled lasers with an intra-cavity saturable absorber is presented. More than $30$ lasers were spatially phase locked and temporally Q-switched. The arrangement with nonlinear coupling was found to be $25$ times more sensitive to loss differences and converged $5$ times faster to the lowest loss phase locked state than with linear coupling, thus providing a unique solution to problems that have several near-degenerate solutions.
Nonexponetial relaxation of photoinduced conductance in organic field effect transistor

description: We report detailed studies of the slow relaxation of the photoinduced excess charge carriers in organic metal-insulator-semiconductor field effect transistors consisting of poly(3-hexylthiophene) as the active layer. The relaxation process cannot be physically explained by processes, which lead to a simple or a stretched-exponential decay behavior. Models based on serial relaxation dynamics due to a hierarchy of systems with increasing spatial separation of the photo-generated negative and positive charges are used to explain the results. In order to explain the observed trend, the model is further modified by introducing a gate voltage dependent coulombic distribution manifested by the trapped negative charge carriers.

description: Matrix model correlators show universal behaviour at short distances. We provide a derivation for these universal correlators by inserting probe branes in the underlying effective geometry. We generalize these results to study correlators of branes and their universal behaviour in the Calabi-Yau crystals, where we find a role for a generalized brane insertion.

Pygofer elongate with macrosetae on posterior half and brown small spot on the mediolateral margin; ventral process strongly curved dorsoanteriorly and then recurved ventrally depicting a circle (Fig. 6). Valve triangular. Subgenital plates, triangular, elongate, shorter than pygofer, with lateral submarginal row of macrosetae in the basal half crossing plate and extending along inner margin (Fig. 7). Style broad at base tapered towards tip, without preapical lobe, apophysis distally pigmented with lateral fine hairs (Fig. 10). Connective V-shaped with short stem (Fig. 11). Aedeagus strongly compressed, broad basally, (dorsal margin) convex medially and apex acute and hooked; with a pair of anteriorly directed small processes laterad to proximal margin of large gonopore (Figs. 8-9).
 Measurements (mm). Male: 7.8 mm long, 1.7 mm wide across eyes, 1.4 mm wide across hind margin of pronotum.
 Material examined. Holotype ♂, INDIA: Uttarakhand: Pantnagar (29º02’60.00”N 79º30’59.99”E), 243.84m, 26.xi.2019, net sweep, Coll. Mogili Ramaiah (NPC).
 Host plant. Bamboo
 Distribution. Presently know only from Uttarakhand, India.
 Etymology. Species name “ bidentata ” alludes to pair of short processes on the shaft.
 Remarks. This species is similar to the Myittana (Myittana) distincta , both having a similarly compressed aedeagal shaft, but can be distinguished by the aedeagal shaft in lateral view with an acute and hooked apex; shaft with a pair of short anteriorly directed processes laterad of proximal margin of gonopore, large gonopore and style linear with straight apophysis. This is also the largest species (measuring 7.8 mm) compared to the remaining two species known from India that measure less than 5 mm in length.
