South Korean intensive care unit

description: In South Korea, the Hospice, Palliative Care and Life-sustaining Treatment Decision-making Act was enforced in 2018. The Act enabled withdrawing life-sustaining treatment with the legal background in South Korea. Therefore, it was an important time point to explore the practical experiences and perceptions of nurses, physicians and family members in South Korean intensive care units. This research aims to explore nurses’, physician’s and family member’s perceptions and experiences of withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment in a South Korean intensive care unit. This study was conducted as a focused ethnography. The theoretical framework was symbolic interactionism. Interview data was collected by semi-structured interviews. Forty-five interviews were conducted with 23 nurses, 10 physicians and 4 family members. All nurse and physician participants and one family member participant were recruited in a hospital in South Korea whereas three family member participants were recruited via the researcher’s personal contacts. Subsequently, interview data was analysed by thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke, 2006) due to its flexibility and availability of comparisons in-between participant groups. Four sub-themes emerged from the data; “family member’s power”, “medical consideration”, “patient’s dignity” and “customer ideology”. The four themes contributed to the emergence of the overarching theme of “constructing death”. The overarching theme of “constructing death” was considered in relation to the theoretical analysis proposed by Seale (1998). This study had limitations of a) samples as this study was conducted in a small intensive care unit of a South Korean hospital b) indistinct nurses’ roles in the withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment process. Nonetheless, the study findings are expected to contribute to intensive care practices and educations for nurses and physicians.

description: Current proprietary and open-source serverless platforms follow opinionated, hardcoded scheduling policies to deploy the functions to be executed over the available workers. Such policies may decrease the performance and the security of the application due to locality issues (e.g., functions executed by workers far from the databases to be accessed). These limitations are partially overcome by the adoption of APP, a new platform-agnostic declarative language that allows serverless platforms to support multiple scheduling logics. Defining the "right" scheduling policy in APP is far from being a trivial task since it often requires rounds of refinement involving knowledge of the underlying infrastructure, guesswork, and empirical testing. In this paper, we start investigating how information derived from static analysis could be incorporated into APP scheduling function policies to help users select the best-performing workers at function allocation. We substantiate our proposal by presenting a pipeline able to extract cost equations from functions' code, synthesising cost expressions through the usage of off-the-shelf solvers, and extending APP allocation policies to consider this information.

description: We discuss the effects of destruction of wide binaries in the nuclei of the lower mass giant elliptical galaxies. We show that the numbers of barium stars and extrinsic S stars should be dramatically reduced in these galaxies compared to what is seen in the largest elliptical galaxies. Given that the extrinsic S stars show strong Wing-Ford band and Na I D absorption, we argue that the recent claims of different initial mass functions from the most massive elliptical galaxies versus lower mass ellipticals may be the result of extrinsic S stars, rather than bottom-heavy initial mass function.

description: Timing information leakage occurs whenever an attacker successfully deduces confidential internal information by observing some timed information such as events with timestamps. Timed automata are an extension of finite-state automata with a set of clocks evolving linearly and that can be tested or reset, making this formalism able to reason on systems involving concurrency and timing constraints. In this paper, we summarize a recent line of works using timed automata as the input formalism, in which we assume that the attacker has access (only) to the system execution time. First, we address the following execution-time opacity problem: given a timed system modeled by a timed automaton, given a secret location and a final location, synthesize the execution times from the initial location to the final location for which one cannot deduce whether the secret location was visited. This means that for any such execution time, the system is opaque: either the final location is not reachable, or it is reachable with that execution time for both a run visiting and a run not visiting the secret location. We also address the full execution-time opacity problem, asking whether the system is opaque for all execution times; we also study a weak counterpart. Second, we add timing parameters, which are a way to configure a system: we identify a subclass of parametric timed automata with some decidability results. In addition, we devise a semi-algorithm for synthesizing timing parameter valuations guaranteeing that the resulting system is opaque. Third, we report on problems when the secret has itself an expiration date, thus defining expiring execution-time opacity problems. We finally show that our method can also apply to program analysis with configurable internal timings.
description: In Proceedings TiCSA 2023, arXiv:2310.18720. This invited paper mainly summarizes results on opacity from two recent works published in ToSEM (2022) and at ICECCS 2023, providing unified notations and concept names for the sake of consistency. In addition, we prove a few original results absent from these works

description: We show that two seemingly unrelated problems -- the trapping of an atom in a one-dimensional optical superlattice (OSL) formed by the interference of optical lattices whose spatial periods differ by a factor of two, and the libration of a polar polarizable planar rotor (PR) in combined electric and optical fields -- have isomorphic Hamiltonians. Since the OSL gives rise to a periodic potential that acts on atomic translation via the AC Stark effect, it is possible to establish a map between the translations of atoms in this system and the rotations of the PR due to the coupling of the rotor's permanent and induced electric dipole moments with the external fields. The latter system belongs to the class of conditionally quasi-exactly solvable (C-QES) problems in quantum mechanics and shows intriguing spectral properties, such as avoided and genuine crossings, studied in details in our previous works [our works]. We make use of both the spectral characteristics and the quasi-exact solvability to treat ultracold atoms in an optical superlattice as a semifinite-gap system. The band structure of this system follows from the eigenenergies and their genuine and avoided crossings obtained as solutions of the Whittaker--Hill equation. Furthermore, the mapping makes it possible to establish correspondence between concepts developed for the two eigenproblems individually, such as localization on the one hand and orientation/alignment on the other. This correspondence may pave the way to unraveling the dynamics of the OSL system in analytic form.

description: Model checking real-time systems is complex, and requires a careful trade-off between including enough detail to be useful and not too much detail to avoid state explosion. This work exploits variability of the formal model being analysed and the requirements being checked, to facilitate the model-checking of variations of real-time specifications. This work results from the collaboration between academics and Alstom, a railway company with a concrete use-case, in the context of the VALU3S European project. The configuration of the variability of the formal specifications is described in MS Excel spreadsheets with a particular structure, making it easy to use also by developers. These spreadsheets are processed automatically by our prototype tool that generates instances and runs the model checker. We propose the extension of our previous work by exploiting analysis over valid combination of features, while preserving the simplicity of a spreadsheet-based interface with the model checker.

description: This thesis examines the distribution and exercise of power within the Highlands in the fifteen years that followed the Jacobite rising of 1745-6. Critical aspects of the Highlands’ status within the United Kingdom were negotiated during this period, which has often been overlooked in terms of its broader significance. The ways in which the Highlands were imagined helped to determine how its inhabitants were defined, and defined themselves, as a political community within the United Kingdom. The thesis examines how representations of the region functioned as an assertion of power, by comparing a wide range of perspectives which includes: central government figures, military commanders, Highland magnates, Scottish officials, agencies operating in the Highlands, independent travellers, surveyors and Gaelic poets. It argues for a more capacious definition of the Scottish political nation which recognises the role played by these actors, while questioning the usefulness of core-periphery paradigms for understanding the heterogeneous nature of the struggle to control the Highlands. The process was one of negotiation between different parties, in which representations of the region were instrumentalised in the pursuit of sectional aims. Narratives about the importance of improving the Highlands allowed landed interests to consolidate power, while the appropriation of ideas about Highlanders’ ‘villainous’ character enabled prohibitive legislation to be enforced more rigorously against particular parts of the region. Highlanders recognised the importance of such narratives and constructed alternative accounts, contesting their status as ‘rebels’ and the policies which were predicated on this characterisation. These findings point to a new way of understanding developments of this period which fully recognises the complexities of the Highlands’ relationship with ‘the state’, and the levels of interaction between numerous parties. The British state should not be viewed as a coherent and singular agency but as a confederation of interests, including those of Highlanders, between whom power was negotiated. Insofar as it determined control of territory, and influenced constructions of Highland identity, this negotiation shaped significant developments of the second half of the eighteenth century and the one that followed.

description: Imagine three parties, Alice, Bob, and Charlie, who share a state of three qubits such that all two-party reduced states A-B,A-C, and B-C are separable. Suppose that they have information only about these marginals but not about the global state. According to recent results, there exists an example for a set of three separable two-party reduced states that is only compatible with an entangled global state. In this paper, we show a stronger result, by exhibiting separable two-party reduced states A-B, A-C, and B-C, such that any global state compatible with these marginals is nonlocal. Hence, we obtain that nonlocality of multipartite states can be certified from information only about separable marginals.

description: Reducing the cost and delay and improving quality are major issues for product and software development, especially in the automotive domain. Product line engineering is a wellknown approach to engineer systems with the aim to reduce costs and development time as well as to improve the product quality. Feature models enable to make logical selection of features and obtain a filtered set of assets that compose the product. We propose to use a color code in feature models to make possible decisions visual in the feature tree. The color code is explained and its use is illustrated. The completeness of the approach is discussed.

description: The intrinsic alignment of galaxy shapes with the large-scale density field is a contaminant to weak lensing measurements, as well as being an interesting signature of galaxy formation and evolution (albeit one that is difficult to predict theoretically). Here we investigate the shapes and relative orientations of the stars and dark matter of halos and subhalos (central and satellite) extracted from the MassiveBlack-II simulation, a state-of-the-art high resolution hydrodynamical cosmological simulation which includes stellar and AGN feedback in a volume of $(100{h^{-1}\mathrm{Mpc}})^3$. We consider redshift evolution from $z=1$ to $0.06$ and mass evolution within the range of subhalo masses, $10^{10} -6.0 \times 10^{14.0}{h^{-1}M_{\odot}}$. The shapes of the dark matter distributions are generally more round than the shapes defined by stellar matter. The projected root-mean-square (RMS) ellipticity per component for stellar matter is measured to be $e_\text{rms} = 0.28$ at $z=0.3$ for $M_{subhalo}> 10^{12.0}{h^{-1}M_{\odot}}$, which compares favourably with observational measurements. We find that the shapes of stellar and dark matter are more round for less massive subhalos and at lower redshifts. By directly measuring the relative orientation of the stellar matter and dark matter of subgroups, we find that, on average, the misalignment between the two components is larger for less massive subhalos. The mean misalignment angle varies from $\sim 30^{\circ}-10^{\circ}$ for $M \sim 10^{10} - 10^{14} {h^{-1}M_{\odot}}$ and shows a weak dependence on redshift. We also compare the misalignment angles in central and satellite subhalos at fixed subhalo mass, and find that centrals are more misaligned than satellites. We present fitting formulae for the shapes of dark and stellar matter in subhalos and also the probability distributions of misalignment angles.

description: Simulating the evolution of the gravitational N-body problem becomes extremely computationally expensive as N increases since the problem complexity scales quadratically with the number of bodies. We study the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to replace expensive parts of the integration of planetary systems. Neural networks that include physical knowledge have grown in popularity in the last few years, although few attempts have been made to use them to speed up the simulation of the motion of celestial bodies. We study the advantages and limitations of using Hamiltonian Neural Networks to replace computationally expensive parts of the numerical simulation. We compare the results of the numerical integration of a planetary system with asteroids with those obtained by a Hamiltonian Neural Network and a conventional Deep Neural Network, with special attention to understanding the challenges of this problem. Due to the non-linear nature of the gravitational equations of motion, errors in the integration propagate. To increase the robustness of a method that uses neural networks, we propose a hybrid integrator that evaluates the prediction of the network and replaces it with the numerical solution if considered inaccurate. Hamiltonian Neural Networks can make predictions that resemble the behavior of symplectic integrators but are challenging to train and in our case fail when the inputs differ ~7 orders of magnitude. In contrast, Deep Neural Networks are easy to train but fail to conserve energy, leading to fast divergence from the reference solution. The hybrid integrator designed to include the neural networks increases the reliability of the method and prevents large energy errors without increasing the computing cost significantly. For this problem, the use of neural networks results in faster simulations when the number of asteroids is >70.

description: Despite the clear existing theoretical links, ours is the first direct systematic series of studies investigating a potential negative association between Honesty-Humility and general dishonesty in romantic relationships. Eleven preregistered online studies with community samples were run (total N = 5677). For a first test of our hypothesis, we conducted a series of seven cross-sectional studies based on self-reports; these studies used different methodological approaches to assess relationship-based dishonesty (i.e., closed-ended self-report scales, scenarios, and direct frequency measures). This was followed by one diary study and three studies that base their assessment on more behavioral measurements of relationship-based dishonesty (e.g., a dice roll task and an anagram task). In line with our hypothesis, all studies reliably revealed that participants higher in Honesty-Humility reported less relationship-based dishonesty. The classification of the found results to past research and the general relevance of the Honesty-Humility factor for romantic relationships are discussed.

The corresponding graphs contain two massive fermion lines of equal mass leading to terms given by inverse binomially weighted sums beyond the usual harmonic sums. In $x$-space two root-valued letters contribute in the iterated integrals in addition to those forming the harmonic polylogarithms. We outline technical details needed in the calculation of graphs of this type, which are as well of importance in the case of two different internal massive lines.

The ALPINE-ALMA [CII] survey: A self-consistent model linking [CII] line emission to nebular lines in ALPINE galaxies
Creators: name: Veraldi, Enrico
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: In this poster I present a new physically motivated model able to link the [CII] emission from photodissociation regions (PDRs), to the optical and UV lines tracing ionized gas phase in high-z galaxies extracted from the ALPINE sample. The model combines a set of tailored CLOUDY photoionization simulations with an analytical approach able to link the HII region and PDRs physical conditions to the impinging radiation from star formation traced by UV and IR continuum. In particular, the model takes into account three physical properties characterising the gas: the hydrogen number density (n), the ionization parameter (U) and the gas metallicity (Z). I will show that the slope of the correlation between UV and optical emission lines (i.e. CIII], [OIII], [NII], Ha) and the star formation rate (SFR) is a valuable tool to get information on the ISM physical parameters. Finally, I will focus on the strong impact of UV binaries, and highlight how their presence can balance the effect of star formation quenching in the predictions.

description: This paper is a parametrization of the equation of state (EoS) parameter of dark energy (DE), which is parameterized using Square-Root (SR) form i.e. $ω_{SR}=\text{$ω_{0}$}+\text{$ω_{1}$}\frac{z}{\sqrt{z^{2}+1}}$, where $ω_{0}$ and $ω_{1}$ are free constants. This parametrization will be examined in the context of the recently suggested $f(Q)$ gravity theory as an alternative to General Relativity (GR), in which gravitational effects are attributed to the non-metricity scalar $Q$ with the functional form $f(Q)=Q+αQ^{n}$, where $α$ and $n$ are arbitrary constants. We derived observational constraints on model parameters using the Hubble dataset with 31 data points and the Supernovae (SNe) dataset from the Pantheon samples compilation dataset with 1048 data points. For the current model, the evolution of the deceleration parameter, density parameter, EoS for DE, and $Om(z)$ diagnostic have all been investigated. It has been shown that the deceleration parameter favors the current accelerated expansion phase. It has also been shown that the EoS parameter for DE has a quintessence nature at this time.

description: Die vorliegende Literaturarbeit untersucht die Beziehung zwischen Lehrpersonen und Kindern mit ADHS sowie die Peer-Beziehungen von Kindern mit ADHS. Um die Forschungsfragen beantworten zu können, wurden internationale Studien und Reviews mittels einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse zur Lehrer*innen-Schüler*innen-Beziehung von Kindern mit ADHS sowie zu den Peer-Beziehungen von Kindern mit ADHS untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse haben gezeigt, dass Lehrpersonen und auch Mitlernende die Beziehung zwischen der Lehrperson und einem Kind mit ADHS als konfliktreicher und weniger nah einschätzen. Beziehungen zu ADHS-Kindern gestalten sich als schwierig und es gilt als erwiesen, dass dies für alle Betroffenen ein ernstzunehmendes Problem darstellt. Zum Abschluss folgen Empfehlungen für die Praxis, wie Lehrpersonen die Beziehungen von Kindern mit ADHS verbessern können.
Maintenance policies optimization in the Industry 4.0 paradigm
Creators: name: Urbani, Michele
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2021

description: Maintenance management is a relevant issue in modern technical systems due to its financial, safety, and environmental implications. The need to rely on physical assets makes maintenance a necessary evil, which, on the other hand, allows achieving a high quality of end products, or services, and a safety level that is adequate for the regulatory requirements. The advent of the fourth industrial revolution offers meaningful opportunities to improve maintenance management; technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing enable realizing modern infrastructure to support decisions with advanced analytics. In this thesis, the optimization of maintenance policies is tackled in this renewed technological context. The research methods employed in this thesis include interviewing of subject experts, literature research, and numerical experiments. Mathematical modelling is used to model network effects in complex technical systems, and simulations are used to validate the proposed models and methodologies. The problem of maintenance policies comparison is addressed in one of the publications; using the proposed bi-objective analysis, an effective maintenance policy was identified. Maintenance of complex systems organized in a networked fashion is studied in another project, where maintenance costs and system performances are considered. The proposed model allowed to identify a set of non-dominated (in the Pareto sense) maintenance policies, and an efficient resolution procedure was developed. The possibility to use a digital twin to replicate a Cyber-Physical System for maintenance policies optimization is addressed in another publication. The main hurdles in realizing such a complex infrastructure are analyzed, and managerial implications are presented. Finally, following a qualitative research approach, the opportunities offered by additive manufacturing are identified and presented in a book chapter. The opportunities for both maintenance efficiency gains and new business models are identified and discussed.
Time-resolved optical diagnostics for plasma dissociation of CO2
Creators: name: Ceppelli, Matteo
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2022

description: Investigating non-equilibrium discharge plasmas requires reliable diagnostic methods that can account for the inhomogeneity and transient nature of pulsed discharges. In this thesis work, time-resolved optical diagnostic techniques have been developed to investigate these systems, focusing on nanosecond repetitive discharges employed for CO2 conversion. Collisional energy-transfer laser-induced fluorescence (CET-LIF) is a promising novel methodology to quantify the time evolution of the composition of a simple gas mixture. It exploits the impact of collisional processes on the LIF outcomes of a probe molecule (OH). For quantitative determinations, a new set of collisional rate constants of the OH(A2?+, v = 0, 1) manifold and their temperature dependence over a wide range has been measured. In addition to LIF spectroscopy, time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy (TR-OES) has been used to reveal the non-equilibrium characteristics of plasma discharges. The Second Positive System band of nitrogen has been used to infer the gas temperature evolution; the Stark broadening of the O triplet at 777 nm allowed to determine the electron density. Finally, the ratio of the C+ and C++ emission lines yielded information on the electron temperature evolution.

Automatisierung

description: Der Grüne Weg des Open Access spielt eine zentrale Rolle, gleichberechtigten Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Forschungsergebnissen sicherzustellen. Leider gibt es für Publizierende einige Barrieren, weshalb das volle Potential noch nicht ausgeschöpft wird. Die konkreten Rahmenbedingungen verschiedener Verlage und Zeitschriften sind oft schwer zu recherchieren oder zu interpretieren, was zu einer hohen Unsicherheit bei den Autoren führt. Die Eingabe der Publikation in einem Repositorium ist mit zusätzlichem Aufwand verbunden.

In dem von swissuniversities kofinanzierten Projekt "AURORA" entwickeln die ZHAW und FHNW einen automatisierten Prozess, welcher Publikationen der Hochschule in bibliografischen Datenbanken auffindet, beschreibende Metadaten aufbereitet und mit Informationen zur Zweitveröffentlichung anreichert. Anschliessend wird ein Eintrag im (DSpace-)Repositorium angelegt und die beteiligten Autoren der Hochschule über ihre Green Open Access Möglichkeiten informiert.

Von dieser Entwicklung profitieren nicht nur Publizierende durch einen schlankeren und verständlicheren Weg zur Zweitveröffentlichung. Auch Repository Manager werden bei individuellen Recherchen und Anfragen bei den Autoren entlastet. Der Prozess kann zudem für das Monitoring der Hochschulpublikationen eingesetzt werden.

description: The relationships between urban area and population size have been empirically demonstrated to follow the scaling law of allometric growth. This allometric scaling is based on exponential growth of city size and can be termed "exponential allometry", which is associated with the concepts of fractals. However, both city population and urban area comply with the course of logistic growth rather than exponential growth. In this paper, I will present a new allometric scaling based on logistic growth to solve the abovementioned problem. The logistic growth is a process of replacement dynamics. Defining a pair of replacement quotients as new measurements, which are functions of urban area and population, we can derive an allometric scaling relation from the logistic processes of urban growth, which can be termed "logistic allometry". The exponential allometric relation between urban area and population is the approximate expression of the logistic allometric equation when the city size is not large enough. The proper range of the allometric scaling exponent value is reconsidered through the logistic process. Then, a medium-sized city of Henan Province, China, is employed as an example to validate the new allometric relation. The logistic allometry is helpful for further understanding the fractal property and self-organized process of urban evolution in the right perspective.

description: O artigo procura relacionar algumas películas cinematográfica financiadas pelo Estados Unidos da América (EUA) durante sua Política Externa da Boa Vizinhança (1933 ”“ 1945) mediante o Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs (OCIAA) com o conceito de pan-americanismo. A hipótese elencada pela pesquisa é que o uso do cinema como instrumento do soft power da Política Externa de Boa Vizinhança, ao apregoar o pan-americanismo, o American Way of Life, e ao procurar conter a influência ideológica nazifascista na América Latina, auxiliou na construção de uma identidade positiva nas relações EUA-Brasil. A pesquisa emprega como procedimentos metodológicos a consulta de fontes primárias e secundárias. O artigo, assim, embasa em autores renomados e em pesquisa documental realizada em importantes centros e bibliotecas tanto do Brasil quanto dos EUA. A pesquisa permitiu com que o texto tenha transcrições de entrevistas e de discursos ”“ poucos divulgados pela academia ”“ de personalidades da época, proporcionando uma correlação singular com a produção bibliográfica sobre a temática e uma argumentação original. A conclusão que o artigo chega é a de que o cinema foi ferramenta essencial de soft power dos EUA na América Latina e contribuiu para mudar a visão dos latino-americanos sobre os estadunidenses.

description: In this paper we present different applications of finite state mean field games to socio-economic sciences. Examples include paradigm shifts in the scientific community or the consumer choice behaviour in the free market. The corresponding finite state mean field game models are hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations, for which we present and validate different numerical methods. We illustrate the behaviour of solutions with various numerical experiments, which show interesting phenomena like shock formation. Hence we conclude with an investigation of the shock structure in the case of two-state problems.

description: Sequential recommendation aims to recommend the next item that matches a user's interest, based on the sequence of items he/she interacted with before. Scrutinizing previous studies, we can summarize a common learning-to-classify paradigm -- given a positive item, a recommender model performs negative sampling to add negative items and learns to classify whether the user prefers them or not, based on his/her historical interaction sequence. Although effective, we reveal two inherent limitations:(1) it may differ from human behavior in that a user could imagine an oracle item in mind and select potential items matching the oracle; and (2) the classification is limited in the candidate pool with noisy or easy supervision from negative samples, which dilutes the preference signals towards the oracle item. Yet, generating the oracle item from the historical interaction sequence is mostly unexplored. To bridge the gap, we reshape sequential recommendation as a learning-to-generate paradigm, which is achieved via a guided diffusion model, termed DreamRec.Specifically, for a sequence of historical items, it applies a Transformer encoder to create guidance representations. Noising target items explores the underlying distribution of item space; then, with the guidance of historical interactions, the denoising process generates an oracle item to recover the positive item, so as to cast off negative sampling and depict the true preference of the user directly. We evaluate the effectiveness of DreamRec through extensive experiments and comparisons with existing methods. Codes and data are open-sourced at https://github.com/YangZhengyi98/DreamRec.

description: Supernova explosions attributed to the unseen companion in several binary systems identified by the Third Gaia Data Release (Gaia DR3) may be responsible for a number of well-known and well-studied features in the radio sky, including the Low-Latitude-Intermediate-Velocity Arch and the North-Celestial-Pole Loop. Slices from the Longitude-Latitude-Velocity data cube of the $λ$-21-cm galactic neutral hydrogen HI4PI survey (HI4PI Collaboration et al. 2016) show multiple signatures of an expanding shell. The source of this expansion, which includes the Low-Latitude-Intermediate-Velocity Arch on the approaching side, may be the neutron star candidate in the Gaia DR3 1093757200530267520 binary. If we make the simplifying assumptions that the expansion of the cavity is uniform and spherically symmetric, then the explosion took place about 700,000 years ago. The momentum is in reasonable agreement with recent model estimates for a supernova this old. The HI on the receding side of this cavity is interacting with the gas approaching us on the near side of a second cavity. The North-Celestial-Pole Loop appears to be located at the intersection of these two expanding features. The neutron star candidate in the Gaia DR3 1144019690966028928 binary may be (in part) responsible for this cavity. Explosions from other candidates may account for the observed elongation along the line of sight of this second cavity. We can use the primary star in these binaries to anchor the distances to the Low-Latitude-Intermediate-Velocity Arch and North-Celestial-Pole Loop, which are about 167 and about 220 pc, respectively.

description: We construct a particle-number(n)-resolved master equation (ME) approach under the self-consistent Born approximation (SCBA) for quantum transport through mesoscopic systems. The formulation is essentially non-Markovian and incorporates the interlay of the multi-tunneling processes and many-body correlations. The proposed n-SCBA-ME goes completely beyond the scope of the Born-Markov master equation, being applicable to transport under small bias voltage, in non-Markovian regime and with strong Coulomb correlations. For steady state, it can recover not only the exact result of noninteracting transport under arbitrary voltages, but also the challenging nonequilibrium Kondo effect. Moreover, the n-SCBA-ME approach is efficient for the study of shot noise.We demonstrate the application by a couple of representative examples, including particularly the nonequilibrium Kondo system.
