description: Spherical proportional counters (SPCs) are gaseous particle detectors sensitive to single ionization electrons in their target media, with large detector volumes and low background rates. The $\mbox{NEWS-G}$ collaboration employs this technology to search for low-mass dark matter, having previously performed searches with detectors at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM), including a recent campaign with a 135 cm diameter SPC filled with methane. While in situ calibrations of the detector response were carried out at the LSM, measurements of the mean ionization yield and fluctuations of methane gas in SPCs were performed using a 30 cm diameter detector. The results of multiple measurements taken at different operating voltages are presented. A UV laser system was used to measure the mean gas gain of the SPC, along with $\mathrm{^{37}Ar}$ and aluminum-fluorescence calibration sources. These measurements will inform the energy response model of future operating detectors.

description: We present the findings of the studies of the silicon sandwich nanostructure that represents the high mobility ultra - narrow silicon quantum well of the p - type (Si - QW), 2 nm, confined by the delta - barriers, 3 nm, heavily doped with boron on the n - type Si (100) surface. The ESR studies show that nanostructured delta - barriers confining the Si - QW consist predominantly of the dipole negative - U centers of boron, which are caused by the reconstruction of the shallow boron acceptors along the <111> crystallographic axis, 2B(0) = B(+) + B(-). The electrically ordered chains of dipole negative - U centers of boron in the delta -barriers appear to give rise to the topological edge states separated vertically, because the value of the longitudinal, Gxx = 4e2/h, and transversal, Gxy = e2/h, conductance measured at extremely low drain-source current indicates the exhibition of the Quantum Spin Hall effect. Besides, the Aharonov - Casher conductance oscillations and the 0.7(2e2/h) - feature obtained are evidence of the interplay of the spontaneous spin polarisation and the Rashba spin - orbit interaction that is attributable to the formation of the topological edge channels. We discuss the phenomenological model of the topological edge channel which can demonstrate the ballistic, Aharonov - Chasher effect or Josephson junction behaviour in dependence on the disorder in the distribution of the negative - U dipole centers in the upper and down delta - barriers.

GOVERNMENT POLICIES AND THEIR IMPACT ON ENTREPRENEURIAL COLLABORATION IN NIGERIA
Creators: name: Stella, Ngozi Ogbuehi

Year: 2025
Subjects: Government Policies, Entrepreneurial Relationships, Regulatory Challenges, Policy Impact, Nigeria

description: This study examines the impact of government policies on entrepreneurial relationships, focusing on how regulatory challenges shape business dynamics in Nigeria. A cross-sectional study design was employed, analyzing data from secondary sources, including government policy documents, industry reports, and academic studies. Content and thematic analysis were used to identify key regulatory challenges and entrepreneurial adaptation strategies. The study also included case studies of technology startups and small manufacturing businesses to illustrate the diverse effects of regulatory frameworks. Findings revealed that unstable and overly complex regulatory environments, particularly in taxation, labour laws, and licensing, significantly hinder entrepreneurial relationships. Entrepreneurs face high compliance costs, limited access to partnerships, and reduced investor confidence, with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) being disproportionately affected. Government policies often fail to strike a balance between economic growth and regulatory enforcement, exacerbating challenges for entrepreneurs in maintaining stable partnerships, attracting investments, and fostering consumer trust. Adaptation strategies identified include investment in compliance innovations, lobbying for regulatory reforms, and operational adjustments such as diversification and technology adoption. However, the study highlights gaps in current regulatory frameworks, including inconsistent enforcement and a lack of supportive policies tailored to SMEs' needs. The study concludes that regulatory challenges significantly impact entrepreneurial relationships, limiting business resilience and growth in Nigeria’s dynamic market. Recommendations include streamlining regulatory processes, introducing phased tax compliance for SMEs, fostering public-private partnerships for regulatory development, and promoting compliance technology to reduce administrative burdens. This research contributes to the discourse on entrepreneurship and regulatory governance by offering insights into how policy reforms can strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems and enhance socioeconomic development in emerging economies like Nigeria. It underscores the need for systemic reforms and collaborative approaches to create a supportive environment for sustainable entrepreneurial growth

description: We define a generic algorithmic framework to prove pure discrete spectrum for the substitutive symbolic dynamical systems associated with some infinite families of Pisot substitutions. We focus on the families obtained as finite products of the three-letter substitutions associated with the multidimensional continued fraction algorithms of Brun and Jacobi-Perron. Our tools consist in a reformulation of some combinatorial criteria (coincidence conditions), in terms of properties of discrete plane generation using multidimensional (dual) substitutions. We also deduce some topological and dynamical properties of the Rauzy fractals, of the underlying symbolic dynamical systems, as well as some number-theoretical properties of the associated Pisot numbers.

description: A general class of axionic and electrically charged black holes for a self-interacting scalar field nonminimally coupled to Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant is presented. These solutions are the first examples of black holes with an arbitrary nonminimal coupling $ξ$ in four dimensions. Moreover, due to the presence of two three-forms fields, the topology of the horizon of these black holes is planar. We discuss some properties of these solutions electing particular values of the nonminimal coupling parameter. A special case arises when $ξ=1/4$, for which the gravitational field is confined in a region close to the event horizon. We also show that these black holes emerge from stealth AdS configurations as the axionic fields are switched on, and that they can be generated through a Kerr-Schild transformation. Finally, in the appendix, we extend these results to arbitrary dimension.

description: Processing long temporal sequences is a key challenge in deep learning. In recent years, Transformers have become state-of-the-art for this task, but suffer from excessive memory requirements due to the need to explicitly store the sequences. To address this issue, structured state-space sequential (S4) models recently emerged, offering a fixed memory state while still enabling the processing of very long sequence contexts. The recurrent linear update of the state in these models makes them highly efficient on modern graphics processing units (GPU) by unrolling the recurrence into a convolution. However, this approach demands significant memory and massively parallel computation, which is only available on the latest GPUs. In this work, we aim to bring the power of S4 models to edge hardware by significantly reducing the size and computational demand of an S4D model through quantization-aware training, even achieving ternary weights for a simple real-world task. To this end, we extend conventional quantization-aware training to tailor it for analog in-memory compute hardware. We then demonstrate the deployment of recurrent S4D kernels on memrisitve crossbar arrays, enabling their computation in an in-memory compute fashion. To our knowledge, this is the first implementation of S4 kernels on in-memory compute hardware.

description: On-board processing of hyperspectral data with machine learning models would enable unprecedented amount of autonomy for a wide range of tasks, for example methane detection or mineral identification. This can enable early warning system and could allow new capabilities such as automated scheduling across constellations of satellites. Classical methods suffer from high false positive rates and previous deep learning models exhibit prohibitive computational requirements. We propose fast and accurate machine learning architectures which support end-to-end training with data of high spectral dimension without relying on hand-crafted products or spectral band compression preprocessing. We evaluate our models on two tasks related to hyperspectral data processing. With our proposed general architectures, we improve the F1 score of the previous methane detection state-of-the-art models by 27% on a newly created synthetic dataset and by 13% on the previously released large benchmark dataset. We also demonstrate that training models on the synthetic dataset improves performance of models finetuned on the dataset of real events by 6.9% in F1 score in contrast with training from scratch. On a newly created dataset for mineral identification, our models provide 3.5% improvement in the F1 score in contrast to the default versions of the models. With our proposed models we improve the inference speed by 85% in contrast to previous classical and deep learning approaches by removing the dependency on classically computed features. With our architecture, one capture from the EMIT sensor can be processed within 30 seconds on realistic proxy of the ION-SCV 004 satellite.

description: Information processing in the neo-cortex happens in a sequential manner and sequence learning is considered a key functionality of the human brain. Even though there are machine learning solutions to these problems, they, unlike the biological brain, often require large amounts of training data and suffer from a high energy consumption. Therefore, in this project we take the neuromorphic approach of bringing the biological principles of sparse neural activity and in-memory computing into electronic hardware. Thereby, our goal is to achieve a robust and energy-efficient solution for sequence learning.The Hierarchical Temporal Memory[1] concept and its biologically plausible version, SpikingTM[2], describe a possible algorithm for sequence learning in the neo-cortex. We prove that this algorithm can operate with memristive synapses[3]. Memristive devices are an emerging non-volatile memory and a prominent candidate for in-memory computing substrates. In order to fully leverage the possibilities of these devices, we adapt the SpikingTM algorithm and create a complete analog / mixed signal system model around a synaptic array of memristive devices[4]. We demonstrate sequence learning by sparse neural activity and showcase that the use of memristive devices leads to a significant gain of energy efficiency. Lastly, we validate the system with real memristive synaptic arrays on a custom nanometer CMOS demonstrator chip by performing complex sequence learning tasks with our memristive algorithm (MemSpikingTM) on hardware[5].This project shows the complete neuromorphic journey from a bio-plausible algorithm for the brain functionality over a hardware-aware adaption for emerging memristive device technology and a complete system model to a successful hardware demonstration. We showcase that by combining the biological principles of sparse activity and connectivity with a memristive in-memory computing substrate, we can fulfil the promise of robust brain-like functionality and energy efficiency.

We prove that having empty interior is undecidable for the sets defined by two-dimensional graph-directed iterated function systems. These results are obtained by studying a particular class of self-affine sets associated with multi-tape automata. We first establish the undecidability of some language-theoretical properties of such automata, which then translate into undecidability results about their associated self-affine sets.

Year: 2025
Subjects: Interest Rates, Private Investment, Prime Lending Rate, Maximum Lending Rate, Savings Rate

description: This study examined the effect of interest rate on private investment in Nigeria. The objective was to determine the extent to which various interest rates affect real sector investment. Time series data were sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical bulletin and publications of Nigeria Bureau of Statistics from 1990-2023. Private investment was modeled as the function of savings rate, real interest rate, monetary policy rate, maximum lending rate and prime lending rate. The study used Ordinary least square methods. The study found that 60.2 percent of the variations in dependent variables the long run is accounted for by variations in the study's explanatory variables. The results further indicates that  savings rate have positive but no significant effect, real interest rate have positive and no significant effect, monetary policy rate have positive and significant effect, prime lending rate have positive and significant effect while maximum lending rate have positive and no significant effect on private  investment in Nigeria. The variables were stationary at first differencing and it is integrated of 1(1). There were the 4 co-integrating equation at the 5% level of significance while the vector error correction model (VECM) result found 69 percent variation which indicates a good fit with an F- statistic value of 3.901566 and a probability value of 0.044452 which judged the model significant. We conclude that there is significant relationship between interest rate and real sector investment in Nigeria. From the findings, we recommend that government should set a sound and fertile environment such as further reforms in the banking sector and deregulations of savings and lending rates in order to foster private investment

description: Background

Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral disease, is now the fastest spreading tropical disease globally. Previous studies indicate that climate and human behavior interact to influence dengue virus and vector (Aedes aegypti) population dynamics; however, the relative effects of these variables depends on local ecology and social context. We investigated the roles of climate and socio-ecological factors on Ae. aegypti population dynamics in Machala, a city in southern coastal Ecuador where dengue is hyper-endemic.

Methods/Principal findings

We studied two proximate urban localities where we monitored weekly Ae. aegypti oviposition activity (Nov. 2010-June 2011), conducted seasonal pupal surveys, and surveyed household to identify dengue risk factors. The results of this study provide evidence that Ae. aegypti population dynamics are influenced by social risk factors that vary by season and lagged climate variables that vary by locality. Best-fit models to predict the presence of Ae. aegypti pupae included parameters for household water storage practices, access to piped water, the number of households per property, condition of the house and patio, and knowledge and perceptions of dengue. Rainfall and minimum temperature were significant predictors of oviposition activity, although the effect of rainfall varied by locality due to differences in types of water storage containers.

Conclusions

These results indicate the potential to reduce the burden of dengue in this region by conducting focused vector control interventions that target high-risk households and containers in each season and by developing predictive models using climate and non-climate information. These findings provide the region's public health sector with key information for conducting time and location-specific vector control campaigns, and highlight the importance of local socio-ecological studies to understand dengue dynamics.

description: We describe an effective theory of interaction between pairs of dark matter particles and pairs of photons. Such an interaction could accomodate $χ\barχ\rightarrowγγ$ processes which might be the cause of the observed feature in the FermiLAT spectrum, as well as $γ^*/Z\rightarrow γχ\barχ$ processes, which would predict excesses at the LHC in the $γ+\missET$ final-state. We reinterpret an ATLAS $γ+\missET$ analysis and the observed Fermi feature in the parameter space of our new effective theory to assess their consistency.

description: A recent high-resolution $α$, $X$-ray, and $γ$-ray coincidence-spectroscopy experiment offered first glimpse of excitation schemes of isotopes along $α$-decay chains of $Z=115$. To understand these observations and to make predictions about shell structure of superheavy nuclei below $^{288}115$, we employ two complementary mean-field models: self-consistent Skyrme Energy Density Functional approach and the macroscopic-microscopic Nilsson model. We discuss the spectroscopic information carried by the new data. In particular, candidates for the experimentally observed $E1$ transitions in $^{276}$Mt are proposed. We find that the presence and nature of low-energy $E1$ transitions in well-deformed nuclei around $Z=110, N=168$ strongly depends on the strength of the spin-orbit coupling; hence, it provides an excellent constraint on theoretical models of superheavy nuclei. To clarify competing theoretical scenarios, an experimental search for $E1$ transitions in odd-$A$ systems $^{275,277}$Mt, $^{275}$Hs, and $^{277}$Ds is strongly recommended.

title: Basiskonzepte und Key Concepts im Vergleich
Creators: name: Riegler, Carina
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit den 2016 im österreichischen GW-Lehrplan für die Sekundarstufe II eingeführten Basiskonzepten und vergleicht diese mit ihren englischen Gegenstücken – den Key Concepts, die als Inspirationsquelle fungierten. Dafür werden die Konzepte hingehend ihrer Entwicklungsgeschichte, der konkreten Umsetzung und ihrer Transferleistungen untersucht. Bei den Basiskonzepten wird zudem analysiert, inwieweit diese auf theoretischem Fundament basieren und Handlungsorientierung im GW-Unterricht fördern. Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es, einen Diskussionsbeitrag zur fachdidaktischen Debatte rund um die Basiskonzepte vorzulegen. Die zugrundeliegenden Forschungsfragen werden anhand aktueller Forschungsliteratur sowie Gesprächen mit Mitgliedern der Lehrplangruppe beantwortet. Im Zuge der Arbeit wurde herausgefunden, dass unterschiedliche Entwicklungsausgangspunkte zur Einführung der Key Concepts beziehungsweise der Basiskonzepte geführt haben. Im direkten Vergleich zu den Key Concepts sind Basiskonzepte nicht hierarchisch angeordnet, können schulautonom nicht verändert werden und weisen nicht nur inhaltliche, sondern auch methodische Kategorien auf. Weiters wurden kaum methodische Schlüsselbegriffe aus England übernommen, was jedoch negative Auswirkungen in Hinblick auf die Elemente eines handlungsorientierten Unterrichts haben könnte. Ungeklärt bleibt, inwiefern Schulpraktiker:innen Basiskonzepte tatsächlich als hilfreiches Mittel für ihre Unterrichtsplanung betrachten.
description: This master thesis deals with the Basic Concepts introduced in the Austrian curriculum for Geography in upper secondary schools in 2016 and compares them with their English counterparts – the Key Concepts – which served as a source of inspiration. Therefore, the concepts are examined in terms of their development, concrete implementation and transfer performance. The Austrian Basic Concepts will further be analyzed to what extent they are based on theoretical frameworks and promote action orientation in Geography lessons. The aim of this master thesis is to contribute to the debate about Basic Concepts in the field of teaching methodology. This study is built upon a literature based approach as well as conversations with members of the curriculum development group. The results suggest that different developmental starting points led to the introduction of the Key Concepts and the Basic Concepts, respectively. It can be concluded that Basic Concepts are not arranged hierarchically, cannot be changed autonomously by schools and have not only content-related but also methodological categories. Furthermore, hardly any methodological key terms were adopted from England, which could have negative effects on aspects of action-oriented teaching. It remains unclear to what extent teachers actually consider Basic Concepts as a helpful tool for their lesson planning.

description: We compare five general circulation models (GCMs) which have been recently used to study hot extrasolar planet atmospheres (BOB, CAM, IGCM, MITgcm, and PEQMOD), under three test cases useful for assessing model convergence and accuracy. Such a broad, detailed intercomparison has not been performed thus far for extrasolar planets study. The models considered all solve the traditional primitive equations, but employ different numerical algorithms or grids (e.g., pseudospectral and finite volume, with the latter separately in longitude-latitude and `cubed-sphere' grids). The test cases are chosen to cleanly address specific aspects of the behaviors typically reported in hot extrasolar planet simulations: 1) steady-state, 2) nonlinearly evolving baroclinic wave, and 3) response to fast timescale thermal relaxation. When initialized with a steady jet, all models maintain the steadiness, as they should -- except MITgcm in cubed-sphere grid. A very good agreement is obtained for a baroclinic wave evolving from an initial instability in pseudospectral models (only). However, exact numerical convergence is still not achieved across the pseudospectral models: amplitudes and phases are observably different. When subject to a typical `hot-Jupiter'-like forcing, all five models show quantitatively different behavior -- although qualitatively similar, time-variable, quadrupole-dominated flows are produced. Hence, as have been advocated in several past studies, specific quantitative predictions (such as the location of large vortices and hot regions) by GCMs should be viewed with caution. Overall, in the tests considered here, pseudospectral models in pressure coordinate (PEBOB and PEQMOD) perform the best and MITgcm in cubed-sphere grid performs the worst.

Therefore, understanding ecosystem structure in response to ongoing pressures is crucial for sustaining ecological integrity and human well-being. We aim to assess the disturbance and its effects on the vegetation structure of urban forests in Chandigarh using a combination of remote sensing techniques and vegetation surveys. The disturbance was evaluated as a change in NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) from 2001 to 2021 by applying the BFAST (Breaks For Additive Season and Trend) algorithm to the MODIS satellite imagery data. A vegetation survey was conducted to compare the species composition, taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity as measures of vegetation structure. While signals of disturbance were evident, the changes in vegetation structure were not well established from our study. Further, vegetation analysis indicated no significant differences in vegetation composition due to disturbance (F1,12 = 0.91, p = 0.575). However, the phylogenetic diversity was substantially lower for disturbed plots than undisturbed plots, though the taxonomic diversity was similar among the disturbed and undisturbed plots. Our results suggest that disturbance effects are more prominent on the phylogenetic than taxonomic diversity. These findings can be considered as early signals of disturbance and its impact on the vegetation structure of urban forests and contribute to the knowledge base on urban ecology. Our study has implications for facilitating evidence-based decision-making and the development of sustainable management strategies for urban forest ecosystems in Chandigarh.

description: Next Generation Sequencing is having an extremely strong impact in biological and medical research and diagnostics, with applications ranging from gene expression quantification to genotyping and genome reconstruction. Sequencing data is often provided as raw reads which are processed prior to analysis 1 of the most used preprocessing procedures is read trimming, which aims at removing low quality portions while preserving the longest high quality part of a NGS read. In the current work, we evaluate nine different trimming algorithms in four datasets and three common NGS-based applications (RNA-Seq, SNP calling and genome assembly). Trimming is shown to increase the quality and reliability of the analysis, with concurrent gains in terms of execution time and computational resources needed.
In-medium jet shape from energy collimation in parton showers: Comparison with CMS PbPb data at 2.76 TeV

description: We present the medium-modified energy collimation in the leading-logarithmic approximation (LLA) and next-to-leading-logarithmic approximation (NLLA) of QCD. As a consequence of more accurate kinematic considerations in the argument of the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) fragmentation functions (FFs) we find a new NLLA correction ${\cal O}(α_s)$ which accounts for the scaling violation of DGLAP FFs at small $x$. The jet shape is derived from the energy collimation within the same approximations and we also compare our calculations for the energy collimation with the event generators Pythia 6 and YaJEM for the first time in this paper. The modification of jets by the medium in both cases is implemented by altering the infrared sector using the Borghini-Wiedemann model. The energy collimation and jet shapes qualitatively describe a clear broadening of showers in the medium, which is further supported by YaJEM in the final comparison of the jet shape with CMS PbPb data at center-of-mass energy 2.76 TeV. The comparison of the biased versus unbiased YaJEM jet shape with the CMS data shows a more accurate agreement for biased showers and illustrates the importance of an accurate simulation of the experimental jet-finding strategy.
