A scientific rationale for consciousness
Creators: name: Henry, Marc
name: Gerbaulet, Jean-Pierre
Publisher: name: Substantia
Year: 2019

description: Consciousness is a concept that can be easily experimented but not easily defined. We show that the same observation applies to information, entropy and even energy. The best we can do is thus to generate and present “identity-cards” of these notions by listing their observable attributes with the help of mathematics, logics, information theory and thermodynamics. From a top-down approach starting from a view of reality based on a universal information field, emerges a ternary logical structure of consciousness that further generates, through meaning, a dualistic space-time continuum populated with an infinite number of “things”. The validity of our logical structure is backed by quotations from topmost scientists and by various mappings such as famous previous models used in philosophy and science. Implications in neurosciences are also briefly discussed.

description: It is shown that the tail in the two-level spectral correlation function R(s) for particles on 2D closed disordered surfaces is determined entirely by surface topology: $R(s)=-χ/(6π^2βs^2)$, where $β$ = 1,2 or 4 for the orthogonal, unitary and symplectic ensembles, and $χ$ = 2(1-p) is the Euler characteristics of the surface with p "handles" (holes). The result is valid for g << s << g^2 for $β$=1,4 and for g << s << g^3 for $β$=2, where g >> 1 is the dimensionless conductance.

description: We present a survey of CO(3-2) molecular line emission in the circumnuclear region of M31 with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), aiming to explore the physical conditions of the molecular gas. Significant CO(3-2) lines are detected primarily along the so-called nuclear spiral, out to a projected galactocentric radius of 700 pc at a linear resolution of ~50 pc. We find that the velocity field of the molecular gas is in rough agreement with that of the ionized gas previously determined from optical observations. Utilizing existed CO(2-1) and CO(1-0) measurements in selected regions of the nuclear spiral, we derive characteristic intensity ratios of CO(3-2)/CO(2-1) and CO(3-2)/CO(1-0), which are both close to unity and are significantly higher than the typical intensity ratios in the disk. Such line ratios suggest high kinetic temperatures of the gas, which might be due to strong interstellar shocks prevalent in the circumnuclear region.

Coping with Selection Effects: A Primer on Regression with Truncated Data

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)

description: The finite sensitivity of instruments or detection methods means that data sets in many areas of astronomy, for example cosmological or exoplanet surveys, are necessarily systematically incomplete. Such data sets, where the population being investigated is of unknown size and only partially represented in the data, are called "truncated" in the statistical literature. Truncation can be accounted for through a relatively straightforward modification to the model being fitted in many circumstances, provided that the model can be extended to describe the population of undetected sources. Here I examine the problem of regression using truncated data in general terms, and use a simple example to show the impact of selecting a subset of potential data on the dependent variable, on the independent variable, and on a second dependent variable that is correlated with the variable of interest. Special circumstances in which selection effects are ignorable are noted. I also comment on computational strategies for performing regression with truncated data, as an extension of methods that have become popular for the non-truncated case, and provide some general recommendations.

Derjaguin’s Water II: a surface hydration phenomenon
Creators: name: Klugman, Ilya
name: Melnikov, Anna
name: Parsons, Drew F.
Publisher: name: Substantia
Year: 2019

description: B.V. Derjaguin’s promotion of anomalous water II (polywater) in the early 1970s was an embarrassing point in the career of an illustrious chemist, and quickly repudiated by Derjaguin himself. Water II does not exist as a bulk liquid. And yet a theoretical model of the hydration of ions developed by I. Klugman, consistent with electrolyte properties such as equivalent conductivity, diffusion coefficient, and viscosity, found a density of water molecules in the hydration shell of ions to be 1.4 g/cm3, close to the density of water II reported by Derjaguin and Churaev. Given Derjaguin and Churaev’s use of adsorption in fine capillaries, Klugman postulates that their anomalous experiments can be understood as measuring the hydration layer of adsorbed water rather than bulk water. Derjaguin’s last publication in 1994 on violation of Archimedes’ Law during adsorption may be intended to hint at this conclusion. Perhaps Derjaguin’s involvement with water II can, in the end, be celebrated not as a study of bulk liquid but as a study of adsorption phenomena and hydration.

Impact of the Rashba Spin Orbit Coupling on $f$-electron Materials

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The combination of strong spin orbit coupling and strong correlations holds tremendous potential for interesting physical phenomena as well as applications in spintronics and quantum computation. In this context, we here study the interplay between the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) and the Kondo screening in noncentrosymmetric $f$-electron materials. We show that the Kondo coupling of the $f$-electrons becomes anisotropic at high temperatures due to the RSOC. However, an isotropic Kondo effect is restored at low temperature which leads to a complete Kondo screening. We furthermore demonstrate that the Kondo effect has influence on the Rashba splitting in the band structure, which becomes temperature dependent. Although the $f$-electrons are localized at high temperature, a helical spin polarization of the conduction band emerges due to the scattering with the $f$-electrons. With decreasing temperature, the Kondo screening occurs, which leads to drastic changes in the band structure. Remarkably, these changes in the band structure depend on the helical spin polarization. For strong RSOC, we observe that the hybridization gap of one of the helical bands is closed at low temperature and a helical half-metal is formed.

Determination of the quark-gluon string parameters from the data on pp, pA and AA collisions at wide energy range using Bayesian Gaussian Process Optimization

description: Bayesian Gaussian Process Optimization can be considered as a method of the determination of the model parameters, based on the experimental data. In the range of soft QCD physics, the processes of hadron and nuclear interactions require using phenomenological models containing many parameters. In order to minimize the computation time, the model predictions can be parameterized using Gaussian Process regression, and then provide the input to the Bayesian Optimization. In this paper, the Bayesian Gaussian Process Optimization has been applied to the Monte Carlo model with string fusion. The parameters of the model are determined using experimental data on multiplicity and cross section of pp, pA and AA collisions at wide energy range. The results provide important constraints on the transverse radius of the quark-gluon string ($r_{str}$) and the mean multiplicity per rapidity from one string ($μ_0$).

description: A contact four-fermion interaction between light quarks and electrons has been evoked as a possible explanation for the excess of events observed by HERA at high-$Q^2$. We explore the 1-loop effects of such interaction in $Γ(Z^0 \to e^+ e^-)$ measured at LEP and impose strong bounds on the lower limit of the effective scale. Our results are able to discard some of the contact interactions as possible explanation for the HERA events.

description: Ti1-xMgxN(001) layers with 0.00 {\leq} x {\leq} 0.49 are deposited on MgO(001) by reactive magnetron co-sputtering from titanium and magnesium targets in 5 mTorr pure N2 at 600 °C. X-ray diffraction ω-2θ scans, ω-rocking curves, ϕ-scans, and high resolution reciprocal space maps show that the Ti1-xMgxN layers are rock-salt structure single crystals with a cube-on-cube epitaxial relationship with the substrates: (001)TiMgN{\parallel} (001)MgO and [100]TiMgN{\parallel} [100]MgO. Layers with thickness d = 35-58 nm are fully strained, with an in-plane lattice parameter of 4.212{\pm}0.001 Å matching that of the MgO substrate, while the out-of-plane lattice parameter increases with x from 4.251 Å for TiN(001) to 4.289 Å for Ti0.51Mg0.49N(001). This yields a relaxed lattice parameter for Ti1-xMgxN(001) of ao = (1-x)aTiN + xaMgN - bx(1-x), where aTiN = 4.239 Å, aMgN = 4.345 Å, and the bowing parameter b = 0.113 Å. In contrast, thicker Ti1-xMgxN(001) layers with d = 110-275 nm are partially (pure TiN) or fully (x = 0.37 and 0.39) relaxed, indicating a critical thickness for relaxation of 50-100 nm. The in-plane x-ray coherence length is large (100-400 nm) for fully strained layers with 0.00 {\leq} x {\leq} 0.45 but drops by an order of magnitude for x = 0.49 as the composition approaches the phase stability limit. It is also an order of magnitude smaller for thicker (d {\leq} 110 nm) layers, which is attributed to strain relaxation through the nucleation and growth of misfit dislocations facilitated by glide of threading dislocations.
Phenomenological glass model for vibratory granular compaction

description: A model for weakly excited granular media is derived by combining the free volume argument of Nowak et al. [Phys. Rev. E 57, 1971 (1998)] and the phenomenological model for supercooled liquids of Adam and Gibbs [J. Chem. Phys. 43, 139 (1965)]. This is made possible by relating the granular excitation parameter Γ, defined as the peak acceleration of the driving pulse scaled by gravity, to a temperature-like parameter η(Γ). The resulting master equation is formally identical to that of Bouchaud's trap model for glasses [J. Phys. I 2, 1705 (1992)]. Analytic and simulation results are shown to compare favourably with a range of known experimental behaviour. This includes the logarithmic densification and power spectrum of fluctuations under constant η, the annealing curve when ηis varied cyclically in time, and memory effects observed for a discontinuous shift in η. Finally, we discuss the physical interpretation of the model parameters and suggest further experiments for this class of systems.

description: A large sample of MgII emitting star-forming galaxies with low metallicity [O/H] = log(O/H)-log(O/H)sun between -0.2 and -1.2 dex is constructed from Data Release 14 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We selected 4189 galaxies with MgII 2797, 2803 emission lines in the redshift range z~0.3-1.0 or 35% of the total Sloan Digital Sky Survey star-forming sample with redshift z>0.3. We study the dependence of the magnesium-to-oxygen and magnesium-to-neon abundance ratios on metallicity. Extrapolating this dependence to [Mg/Ne]=0 and to solar metallicity we derive a magnesium depletion of [Mg/Ne]~-0.4 (at solar metallicity). We prefer neon instead of oxygen to evaluate the magnesium depletion in the interstellar medium because neon is a noble gas and is not incorporated into dust, contrary to oxygen. Thus, we find that more massive and more metal abundant galaxies have higher magnesium depletion. The global parameters of our sample, such as the mass of the stellar population and star formation rate, are compared with previously obtained results from the literature. These results confirm that MgII emission has a nebular origin. Our data for interstellar magnesium-to-oxygen abundance ratios relative to the solar value are in good agreement with similar measurements made for Galactic stars, for giant stars in the Milky Way satellite dwarf galaxies, and with low-metallicity damped Lyman-alpha systems.

description: The mechanisms of thermally activated magnetization switching in small ferromagnetic particles driven by an external magnetic field are investigated. For low uniaxial anisotropy the spins rotate coherently while for sufficiently large uniaxial anisotropy they behave Ising-like, i.e. the switching then is due to nucleation. The crossover from coherent rotation to nucleation is studied for the classical three-dimensional Heisenberg model with uniaxial anisotropy by Monte Carlo simulations. From the temperature dependence of the metastable lifetime the energy barrier of a switching process can be determined. For the case of infinite anisotropy we compare numerical results from simulations of the Ising model with theoretical results for energy barriers for both, single-droplet and multi-droplet nucleation. The simulated barriers are in agreement with the theoretical predictions.

description: The Black Power Classroom uses ethnomusicology to understand how culturally responsive music education is used to teach African American and Botswanan children their African heritage. I first interrogate the coloniality of minstrelsy and the distortion of Black America’s African heritage that warrants the need for African heritage to be taught to Black American children. I then overview the historical/contemporary agendas for Black education, and how music education fits into these agendas, by comparing those of African Americans to those of the “The State,” which operates as a colonial actor. I then analyze the use of culturally responsive instruction in a music program for African American fourth graders in Washington DC, drawing from Gaunt’s theory of kinetic orality. Finally, an analysis of how traditional music is used to teach cultural identity in Botswana elucidates the key components of a culturally responsive music education model that could be effective for African American students.

description: The data mining along with emerging computing techniques have astonishingly influenced the healthcare industry. Researchers have used different Data Mining and Internet of Things (IoT) for enrooting a programmed solution for diabetes and heart patients. However, still, more advanced and united solution is needed that can offer a therapeutic opinion to individual diabetic and cardio patients. Therefore, here, a smart data mining and IoT (SMDIoT) based advanced healthcare system for proficient diabetes and cardiovascular diseases have been proposed. The hybridization of data mining and IoT with other emerging computing techniques is supposed to give an effective and economical solution to diabetes and cardio patients. SMDIoT hybridized the ideas of data mining, Internet of Things, chatbots, contextual entity search (CES), bio-sensors, semantic analysis and granular computing (GC). The bio-sensors of the proposed system assist in getting the current and precise status of the concerned patients so that in case of an emergency, the needful medical assistance can be provided. The novelty lies in the hybrid framework and the adequate support of chatbots, granular computing, context entity search and semantic analysis. The practical implementation of this system is very challenging and costly. However, it appears to be more operative and economical solution for diabetes and cardio patients.

description: The order $α_s$ corrections to the Wilson coefficients of the dipole operators ($O_7,O_8$) at the matching scale $μ=m_W$ are a crucial ingredient for a complete next- to-leading logarithmic calculation of the branching ratio for $b \to s γ$. Given the phenomenological relevance and the fact that this two-loop calculation has been done so far only by one group [1], we present a detailed re-calculation using a different method. Our results are in complete agreement with those in ref. [1].

description: The effect of a natural, biodegradable surfactant obtained using a novel and efficient chemical reaction between cysteine (a thiol-based amino acid) and an octanoyl (C8) compound, was investigated for its application to the ion flotation removal of low levels of different contaminant ions from aqueous solution. The synthesised amino acid-based single-chain surfactant shows a high water solubility and exhibits extensive foaming in a typical flotation chamber over a wide pH range. In a batch ion flotation process, this surfactant was able to remove 97‒99% of the 5ppm of strontium, lanthanum, arsenic and different heavy metal ion levels present in contaminated water, in a simple, single-stage physiochemical process. Also, significant differences in ion binding selectivities could be used as the basis for the complete separation of some specific ions from mixed solutions, using the ion flotation process. Recycled water is an invaluable resource but it often also contains inorganic and organic nutrients, and chemical and biological substances, such as enteric microbial pathogens, which are often not monitored. This is a key inhibition to its reuse. The application of a novel CO2 bubble column sterilization process is presented here and compared with other commonly used processes.

description: The noisy Burgers equation describing for example the growth of an interface subject to noise is one of the simplest model governing an intrinsically nonequilibrium problem. In one dimension this equation is analyzed by means of the Martin-Siggia-Rose technique. In a canonical formulation the morphology and scaling behavior are accessed by a principle of least action in the weak noise limit. The growth morphology is characterized by a dilute gas of nonlinear soliton modes with gapless dispersion law with exponent z=3/2 and a superposed gas of diffusive modes with a gap. The scaling exponents and a heuristic expression for the scaling function follow from a spectral representation.

description: Antibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) are associated to several disorders, and their occurrence in patients presenting an acquired demyelinating disease affects a higher proportion of paediatric subjects, as compared to adults. Despite heterogeneity in clinical presentation, few connexions have been reported between the progressive neurodevelopmental disorder affecting child’s brain development and cognitive ability, i.e. Rett syndrome (RTT), and a demyelination process. In order to identify the possible target of humoral autoimmune response in RTT patients, we set-up a home-made solid-phase ELISA, using the recombinant extracellular portion of human MOG(1-117) as an antigen. The screening to evaluate anti-MOG antibodies in RTT patient sera, compared to other relative non-RTT pervasive developmental disorders (non-RTT PDD), including mainly autism, and a healthy control group gave uncertain results. In fact, Student t-test and Mann-Whitney unpaired t test showed that differences in both IgG and IgM antibody titres between the different patient populations, were not statistically significant. We can conclude that the absence of anti-MOG antibody recognition in RTT has possibly to be ascribed to a different relevant protein folding and/or to the lack of a relevant aberrant post-translational modification, such as N-glucosylation, that we previously demonstrated, for the first time, fundamental to recognize antibodies in RTT.

Creators: name: Nasser Hussein Nasser
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: Thinking, (Positive - Negative), Personality, (Positive - Negative).

description: The present study aims at identifying the determiners of thinking (positive- negative) and their relation to the (Optimistic-Pessimistic) personality as well as the differences between the variants of the sample according to the gender (males-females), specialization (pure sciences- humanistic sciences) ,and grade of studying (second-fourth). The sample of the study includes (400) students, both males and females from the University of Al-Qadisia for the academic year (2018-2017). The present study has adopted two scales: the scale of thinking determiners which includes (36) items, and the scale of traits of personality which includes (32) items. The researcher set both of these scales off. The results of the study have shown that (84.5%) of the sample are optimistic and (15.5%) pessimistic. It has been also noticed that there is no significant difference on the statistical bases in the determiners of thinking and the Traits of personality according to the variants that have been already mentionedMoreover, it has been concluded that there is correlation between the determiners of thinking and the traits of personality. In the light of these results, the researcher has proposed some recommendations and suggestions.
Leonardo da Vinci – The Scientist
Creators: name: Isaacson, Walter
Publisher: name: Substantia
Year: 2019

description: To celebrate the 500th anniversary of Leonardo’s death we gladly republish, with permission, one chapter from Walter Isaacson’s book “Leonardo da Vinci” by Simon & Schuster. Leonardo was born as a natural child on April 15, 1452 in Anchiano, a handful of houses near Vinci, close to Florence. He died on May 2, 1519, in the grandiose castle of Clos Lucé near Amboise, not far from Tours in the middle of France. A free spirit, a true master in inter- and multisciplinarity, indifferent to taboos and scientific dogmas, one of the fathers of what we call the “scientific method”. Obsessed by experience and observation, eager devourer of the first scientific printed books, he understood and practiced the correct balance between experiments and theories. In particular, on the role of experience and mathematics he wrote in the “Treatise on Painting”: “Nissuna umana investigazione si pò dimandare vera scienzia s’essa non passa per le matematiche dimostrazioni, e se tu dirai che le scienzie, che principiano e finiscono nella mente, abbiano verità, questo non si concede, ma si niega, per molte ragioni, e prima, che in tali discorsi mentali non accade esperienzia, sanza la quale nulla dà di sé certezza.” (No human investigation can be termed true science if it is not capable of mathematical demonstration. If you say that the sciences which begin and end in the mind are true, I do not agree, but deny it for many reasons, and foremost among these the fact that the test of experiment is absent from these exercises of the mind, and without these there is no assurance of certainty).

General one-loop renormalization group evolutions and electroweak symmetry breaking in the (M+1)SSM

description: We study analytically the general features of electroweak symmetry breaking in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model extended by one Higgs singlet. The exact analytical forms of the renormalization group evolutions of the Yukawa couplings and of the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters are derived to one-loop order. They allow on one hand controllable approximations in closed analytical form, and on the other a precise study of the behaviour of infrared quasi fixed point regimes which we carry out. Some of these regimes are shown to be phenomenologically inconsistent, leading to too small an effective $μ$-parameter. The remaining ones serve as a suitable benchmark to understand analytically some salient aspects, often noticed numerically in the literature, in relation to the electroweak symmetry breaking in this model. The study does not need any specific assumption on $\tan β$ or on boundary conditions for the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters, thus allowing a general insight into the sensitivity of the low energy physics to high energy assumptions.

description: Convective boundary mixing is one of the major uncertainties in stellar evolution. In order to study its dependence on boundary properties and turbulence strength in a controlled way, we computed a series of 3D hydrodynamical simulations of stellar convection during carbon burning with a varying boosting factor of the driving luminosity. Our 3D implicit large eddy simulations were computed with the PROMPI code. We performed a mean field analysis of the simulations within the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes framework. Both the vertical RMS velocity within the convective region and the bulk Richardson number of the boundaries are found to scale with the driving luminosity as expected from theory. The positions of the convective boundaries were estimated through the composition profiles across them, and the strength of convective boundary mixing was determined by analysing the boundaries within the framework of the entrainment law. We find that the entrainment is approximately inversely proportional to the bulk Richardson number. Although the entrainment law does not encompass all the processes occurring at boundaries, our results support the use of the entrainment law to describe convective boundary mixing in 1D models, at least for the advanced phases. The next steps and challenges ahead are also discussed.
