description: A system of fermions with short-range interactions at finite density is studied using the framework of effective field theory. The effective action formalism for fermions with auxiliary fields leads to a loop expansion in which particle-hole bubbles are resummed to all orders. For spin-independent interactions, the loop expansion is equivalent to a systematic expansion in 1/N, where "N" is the spin-isospin degeneracy g. Numerical results at next-to-leading order are presented and the connection to the Bose limit of this system is elucidated.

description: We report on atomic-scale analyses of grain boundary (GB) structures and segregation in Nb3Sn coatings on Nb, prepared by the vapor-diffusion process, for superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavity applications, utilizing atom-probe tomography, high-resolution scanning transmission electron-microscopy and first-principles calculations. We demonstrate that the chemical composition of Nb3Sn GBs is correlated strongly with the diffusion of Sn and Nb at GBs during the coating process. In a sample coated with a relatively large Sn flux, we observe an interfacial width of Sn segregation at a GB of ~3 nm, with a maximum concentration of ~35 at.%. After post-annealing at 1100 oC for 3 h, the Sn segregated at GBs disappears and Nb segregation is observed subsequently at GBs, indicating that Nb diffused into the Nb3Sn GBs from the Nb substrate. It is also demonstrated that the amount of Sn segregation in a Nb3Sn coating can be controlled by: (i) Sn flux; and (ii) the temperatures of the Nb substrates and Sn source, which may affect the overall kinetics including GB diffusion of Sn and Nb. An investigation of the correlation between the chemical compositions of GBs and Nb3Sn SRF cavity performance reveals that the Nb3Sn SRF cavities with the best performance (high-quality factors at high accelerating electric-field gradients) do not exhibit Sn segregation at GBs. Our results suggest that the chemical compositions of GBs in Nb3Sn coatings for SRF cavities can be controlled by GB engineering and can be utilized to optimize fabrication of high-quality Nb3Sn coatings for SRF cavities.

description: Im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Analyse „Einkommenseffekte der Doha- Entwicklungsrunde - was steckt hinter den Wohlfahrtsprognosen“ steht eine Untersuchung der verschiedenen Wohlfahrtsstudien und den von ihnen prognostizierten Einkommenseffekten einer Handelsliberalisierung unter der Doha-Entwicklungsrunde. Da die Einkommensprognosen stark von den Annahmen und der Ausgestaltung der ihnen zugrunde liegenden Modelle abhängen, werden diese in einem zweiten Schritt dargestellt. Im Anschluss daran wird eine Auswahl von Wohlfahrtsstudien genauer vorgestellt und bewertet. Hier zeigt sich, dass die Modelle nicht der präzisen Vorhersage von Einkommenseffekten dienen. Allerdings können sie sehr gut für einen Vergleich der Einkommensgewinne unter verschiedenen Liberalisierungsszenarien genutzt werden. Hier zeigen sich zahlreiche Gemeinsamkeiten der Prognosen, die im abschließenden Teil der Analyse zusammen gefasst werden. Die Analyse kommt erstens zu dem Ergebnis, dass ein Scheitern der Doha-Runde zwar weder einen Einbruch der internationalen Handelsströme noch des globalen Wachstums und Einkommens bedeuten würde. Dennoch wäre es durchaus eine verpasste Chance für mehr Wachstum und Entwicklung gerade auch in den Entwicklungsländern. So zeigt der Großteil der Wohlfahrtsstudien, dass ein umfassendes Liberalisierungsabkommen hohe Einkommenspotenziale sowohl für Industrie- als auch Entwicklungsländer birgt. Allerdings garantiert ein Abschluss der Runde allein noch keine Einkommensgewinne für alle WTO-Mitglieder. Dies hängt vielmehr von der genauen Ausgestaltung des Liberalisierungspakets ab. Die Analyse kommt zweitens zu dem Ergebnis, dass eine alleinige Konzentration auf die Liberalisierung des Agrarhandels und hier auf den Abbau von Exportsubventionen angesichts der potenziellen Einkommensgewinne aus einem verbesserten Marktzugang im Agrarhandel sowie aus einer Liberalisierung des Industriegüter- und Dienstleistungshandels nicht empfehlenswert ist. Auch die Politikempfehlung, dass es sich aufgrund der niedrigen Einkommenserwartungen kaum noch lohne, intensiv zu verhandeln, wird in dieser Analyse als grundlegend falsch erachtet, sind es doch gerade die niedrigen Verhandlungsambitionen, die zum aktuellen, wenig viel versprechenden Liberalisierungspaket mit seinen geringen Einkommenspotenzialen geführt haben.

description: The remarkable field dependence of the electronic thermal conductivity observed in MgB_2 can be explained as a consequence of multi-gap superconductivity. A key point is that for moderately clean samples, the mean free path becomes comparable to coherence length of the smaller gap over its entire Fermi surface. In this case, quasiparticle excitations bound in vortex cores can easily be delocalized causing a rapid rise in the thermal conductivity at low magnetic fields. This feature is in marked contrast to that for anisotropic or nodal gaps, where delocalization occurs only on part of the Fermi surface.

description: A spinning vortex is considered in the context of the braneworld. We numerically analyze the profiles of a stationary solution in a six-dimensional U(1) gauge theory, and clarify their dependence on the angular velocity in the field space $ω$. We find that there is an upper limit on $ω$, and the vortex configuration should be parameterized by the angular momentum rather than $ω$. We also discuss matter modes localized on the vortex. We show that the vortex spin mixes the KK masses and induces nonvanishing masses to the zero-modes. It also resolves the degeneracy in the KK spectrum that the static vortex had.

History

description: The U.S. Communist Party’s (CP) fight for racial justice is one of the most important and neglected chapters in the history of civil rights struggles in the United States. When it is studied the focus tends to be on the 1930s, however this conventional periodization ignores the dramatic growth in the Party’s understanding of race during the 1920s. A focus on this period forces a reexamination of the relationship between the CP and the Soviet–based Communist International (Comintern). Rather than dictated from Moscow, the CP’s understanding of the issues facing African Americans evolved through a dialogue between Communists of all races around the world. This challenges the assumptions of the “Cold War” historians, who paint the Party as puppets of Russia, as well as “revisionist” histories, which tend to ignore the Comintern by focusing on the Party’s grassroots. By neither denouncing nor ignoring the relationship between international and domestic Communists, I show how this exchange provided a catalyst to the CP’s changing position on race. This not only has implications for the historiography of the Communism, but also sheds light on current debates over the feasibility of the political left as a vehicle for addressing issues of race. In this thesis, I address this omission by analyzing previously unexamined editorial cartoons from Communist Party publications during the 1920s to highlight the CP’s changing views on race. Intended to succinctly communicate key policies and dictates to a heterogeneous, mass audience, these cartoons provide unique insights into the evolution of the Communist’s position on racial inequality in America and provide a critical lens through which to understand and rethink the complex domestic and international forces that reshaped the CP’s approach to race during this important period in the history of American racial politics.

description: With the borders of the European Union (EU) moved eastwards, students of Europeanization have been awarded yet another real-world experiment. This paper explores to what extent existing Europeanization approaches travel beyond the EU’s border to its South Eastern and Eastern neighbours, which are marked by “bad governance” with regard to both the effectiveness and democratic legitimacy of their domestic institutions. The first part outlines key insights of the literature on “Europeanization West” regarding the outcomes and the mechanism of the domestic impact of the EU. Then, I summarize the main findings of research on “Europeanization East” focusing on factors that have limited or at least qualified the domestic impact of the EU in the ten Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries in comparison to the EU 15 (those that were members before the 2004 enlargement). This paper discusses to what extent the concepts and causal mechanisms need even further qualification when applied to countries, such as the European Neighbourhood Countries (ENC), that are neither willing nor necessarily capable of adapting to Europe and that do not even have the incentive of EU membership to cope with the costs. I will argue that the EU is unlikely to deploy any transformative power in its neighbourhood as long as it does not adjust its “accession tool box” to countries the EU does not want to take on as members. The paper concludes with some considerations on the policy implications of the EU’s approach of “move closer but don’t touch” which has started to creep into its relations with the Western Balkans and Turkey.

description: Over the past decade, remarkable advances have been realized in chip-based nonlinear photonic devices for classical and quantum applications in the near- and mid-infrared regimes. However, few demonstrations have been realized in the visible and near-visible regimes, primarily due to the large normal material group-velocity dispersion (GVD) that makes it challenging to phase match third-order parametric processes. In this paper, we show that exploiting dispersion engineering of higher-order waveguide modes provides waveguide dispersion that allows for small or anomalous GVD in the visible and near-visible regimes and phase matching of four-wave mixing processes. We illustrate the power of this concept by demonstrating in silicon nitride microresonators a near-visible modelocked Kerr frequency comb and a narrow-band photon-pair source compatible with Rb transitions. These realizations extend applications of nonlinear photonics towards the visible and near-visible regimes for applications in time and frequency metrology, spectral calibration, quantum information, and biomedical applications.

Why does the Last Supper in the Gospel of St. John (13-17) contain no words of consecration?

description: To answer the title question of this article – Why does the Last Supper in the Gospel of St. John (13-17) contain no words of consecration? – one will mainly show that the Gospel of St. John has a six-element literary structure, the same as the Book of Exodus 1-18 has. This first step bases on the analyses of many exegetes and also on the particular comparative counting of numbers of words in all pericopes of four Gospels, which one performed in this paper. Then one will show four consecutive stages of Jesus’ life – presented by four consecutive pericopes of Jn 1:19-20:31 – as His four-stages Exodus from this world to eternity. Based on the thesis proved in the earlier papers (see for example: https://www.adoracja.bielsko.opoka.org.pl/praca_doktorska/USAProphetsM.html) that Ex 1-18 is the six-element treaty of the four-step covenant-making ceremony performed by God and Israel, one will show the whole life of Jesus on the earth as analogical to the Exodus described in Ex 6:2-15:21 – as performing consecutive four elements of the ceremony of making the New Covenant. It means John’s Gospel is the six-element treaty of the New Covenant. The key statement shows that The Pericope of Passion and Death (Jn 18-19) describes the irrevocable Jesus’ act of covenant-concluding, done through His passage between the darknesses of the Abyss-Death. It is analogical to pericope Ex 13:17-14:31 as a description of the irrevocable act of covenant-concluding by the passage of God and Israel between the waters of the Abyss-Red Sea. Thanks to these observations, one will get to know the answer to the question stated in the paper’s title.

description: Dynamical systems often exhibit the emergence of long-lived coherent sets, which are regions in state space that keep their geometric integrity to a high extent and thus play an important role in transport. In this article, we provide a method for extracting coherent sets from possibly sparse Lagrangian trajectory data. Our method can be seen as an extension of diffusion maps to trajectory space, and it allows us to construct “dynamical coordinates,” which reveal the intrinsic low-dimensional organization of the data with respect to transport. The only a priori knowledge about the dynamics that we require is a locally valid notion of distance, which renders our method highly suitable for automated data analysis. We show convergence of our method to the analytic transfer operator framework of coherence in the infinite data limit and illustrate its potential on several two- and three-dimensional examples as well as real world data. One aspect of the coexistence of regular structures and chaos in many dynamical systems is the emergence of coherent sets: If we place a large number of passive tracers in a coherent set at some initial time, then macroscopically they perform a collective motion and stay close together for a long period of time, while their surrounding can mix chaotically. Natural examples are moving vortices in atmospheric or oceanographic flows. In this article, we propose a method for extracting coherent sets from possibly sparse Lagrangian trajectory data. This is done by constructing a random walk on the data points that captures both the inherent time-ordering of the data and the idea of closeness in space, which is at the heart of coherence. In the rich data limit, we can show equivalence to the well-established functional-analytic framework of coherent sets. One output of our method are “dynamical coordinates,” which reveal the intrinsic low- dimensional transport-based organization of the data.
Higher order corrections to the mean-field description of the dynamics of interacting bosons

description: In this paper, we introduce a novel method for deriving higher order corrections to the mean-field description of the dynamics of interacting bosons. More precisely, we consider the dynamics of $N$ $d$-dimensional bosons for large $N$. The bosons initially form a Bose-Einstein condensate and interact with each other via a pair potential of the form $(N-1)^{-1}N^{dβ}v(N^β\cdot)$ for $β\in[0,\frac{1}{4d})$. We derive a sequence of $N$-body functions which approximate the true many-body dynamics in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^{d N})$-norm to arbitrary precision in powers of $N^{-1}$. The approximating functions are constructed as Duhamel expansions of finite order in terms of the first quantised analogue of a Bogoliubov time evolution.

description: Due to its fast and high resolution characteristics, dual-comb spectroscopy has attracted an increasing amount of interest since its first demonstration. In the terahertz frequency range where abundant absorption lines (finger prints) of molecules are located, multiheterodyne spectroscopy that employs the dual-comb technique shows an advantage in real-time spectral detection over the traditional Fourier transform infrared or time domain spectroscopies. Here, we demonstrate compact terahertz dual-comb spectroscopy based on quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). In our experiment, two free-running QCLs generate approximately 120 GHz wide combs centered at 4.2 THz, with slightly different repetition frequencies. We observe that $\sim$490 nW terahertz power coupling of one laser into the other suffices for laser-self-detecting the dual-comb spectrum that is registered by a microwave spectrum analyzer. Furthermore, we demonstrate practical terahertz transmission dual-comb spectroscopy with our device, by implementing a short air path at room temperature. Spectra are shown of semiconductor samples and of moist air, the latter allowing rapid monitoring of the relative humidity. Our devices should be readily extendable to perform imaging, microscopy and near-field microscopy in the terahertz regime.

description: Learning by experience in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) is a difficult and exciting task, due to the lack of stationarity of the environment, whose dynamics evolves as the population learns. In order to design scalable algorithms for systems with a large population of interacting agents (e.g. swarms), this paper focuses on Mean Field MAS, where the number of agents is asymptotically infinite. Recently, a very active burgeoning field studies the effects of diverse reinforcement learning algorithms for agents with no prior information on a stationary Mean Field Game (MFG) and learn their policy through repeated experience. We adopt a high perspective on this problem and analyze in full generality the convergence of a fictitious iterative scheme using any single agent learning algorithm at each step. We quantify the quality of the computed approximate Nash equilibrium, in terms of the accumulated errors arising at each learning iteration step. Notably, we show for the first time convergence of model free learning algorithms towards non-stationary MFG equilibria, relying only on classical assumptions on the MFG dynamics. We illustrate our theoretical results with a numerical experiment in a continuous action-space environment, where the approximate best response of the iterative fictitious play scheme is computed with a deep RL algorithm.

description: This paper describes a 6-element structure of an ancient Hittite covenant treaty in light of its connection with a 4-element ancient rite of covenant-making. We showed some examples of scholars’ works to illustrate difficulties in discovering the pattern of the suzerainty covenant Hittite treaty in the Holy Bible. The main aim of the article is to prove that the entirety of Ex 1-18 has the six-element structure of the Hittite covenant treaty. Ex 1-18 is the certificate of the covenant made (cut) by God and Israel in their passage between halves of the cut-waters of the Sea of Reeds – the covenant earlier than that made on the Mount Sinai.

description: Small area models typically depend on the validity of model as- sumptions. For example, a commonly used version of the Empirical Best Predictor relies on the Gaussian assumptions of the error terms of the linear mixed model, a feature rarely observed in applications with real data. The present paper proposes to tackle the potential lack of validity of the model assumptions by using data- driven scaled transformations as opposed to ad-hoc chosen transformations. Dif- ferent types of transformations are explored, the estimation of the transformation parameters is studied in detail under a linear mixed model and transformations are used in small area prediction of lin- ear and non-linear parameters. The use of scaled transformations is crucial as it allows for fitting the linear mixed model with standard software and hence it simplifies the work of the data analyst. Mean squared error estimation that accounts for the uncertainty due to the estimation of the transformation parameters is explored using para- metric and semi-parametric (wild) bootstrap. The proposed methods are illustrated using real survey and census data for estimating in- come deprivation parameters for municipalities in the Mexican state of Guerrero. Extensive simulation studies and the results from the application show that using carefully selected, data driven transfor- mations can improve small area estimation.

description: A covariant definition of the Levy Laplacian on an infinite dimensional manifold is introduced. It is shown that a time-depended connection in a finite dimensional vector bundle is a solution of the Yang-Mills heat equations if and only if the associated flow of the parallel transports is a solution of the heat equation for the covariant Levy Laplacian on the infinite dimensional manifold.

description: We describe the limit (for two topologies) of large uniform random square permutations, i.e., permutations where every point is a record. The starting point for all our results is a sampling procedure for asymptotically uniform square permutations. Building on that, we first describe the global behavior by showing that these permutations have a permuton limit which can be described by a random rectangle. We also explore fluctuations about this random rectangle, which we can describe through coupled Brownian motions. Second, we consider the limiting behavior of the neighborhood of a point in the permutation through local limits. As a byproduct, we also determine the random limits of the proportion of occurrences (and consecutive occurrences) of any given pattern in a uniform random square permutation.

description: Ένας από τους πρωταρχικούς σκοπούς των επιχειρήσεων, πέραν της επιβίωσης, είναι η απόκτηση Ανταγωνιστικού Πλεονεκτήματος. Τα τελευταία χρόνια και έχοντας αξιοποιήσει την πλειονότητα των πόρων τους, έχει παρατηρηθεί πως οι επιχειρήσεις επιδιώκουν σε πολλές περιπτώσεις να αποκτήσουν ανταγωνιστικό πλεονέκτημα μέσω του ανθρωπίνου δυναμικού τους. Κύριος στόχος της παρούσας διπλωματικής είναι πρωτίστως η εξέταση των θεωριών του Στρατηγικού Μάνατζμεντ και της Διοίκησης Ανθρωπίνων Πόρων ξεχωριστά ενώ σε ένα δεύτερο στάδιο εξετάζεται η μεταξύ τους συσχέτιση όσον αφορά τη δημιουργία αξίας.

title: Short-Time Phase Spectrum in Human and Automatic Speech Recognition

description: Incorporating information from the short-time phase spectrum into a feature set for automatic speech recognition (ASR) may possibly serve to improve recognition accuracy. Currently, however, it is common practice to discard this information in favour of features that are derived purely from the short-time magnitude spectrum. There are two reasons for this: 1) the results of some well-known human listening experiments have indicated that the short-time phase spectrum conveys a negligible amount of intelligibility at the small window durations of 20-40 ms used for ASR spectral analysis, and 2) using the short-time phase spectrum directly for ASR has proven di?cult from a signal processing viewpoint, due to phase-wrapping and other problems. In this thesis, we explore the possibility of using short-time phase spectrum information for ASR by considering the two points mentioned above. To address the ?rst point, we conduct our own set of human listening experiments. Contrary to previous studies, our results indicate that the short-time phase spectrum can indeed contribute signi?cantly to speech intelligibility over small window durations of 20-40 ms. Also, the results of these listening experiments, in addition to some ASR experiments, indicate that at least part of this intelligibility may be supplementary to that provided by the short-time magnitude spectrum. To address the second point (i.e., the signal processing di?culties), it may be necessary to transform the short-time phase spectrum into a more physically meaningful representation from which useful features could possibly be extracted. Speci?cally, we investigate the frequency-derivative (or group delay function, GDF) and the time-derivative (or instantaneous frequency distribution, IFD) as potential candidates for this intermediate representation. We have performed various experiments which show that the GDF and IFD may be useful for ASR. We conduct several ASR experiments to test a feature set derived from the GDF. We ?nd that, in most cases, these features perform worse than the standard MFCC features. Therefore, we suggest that a short-time phase spectrum feature set may ultimately be derived from a concatenation of information from both the GDF and IFD representations. For best performance, the feature set may also need to be concatenated with short-time magnitude spectrum information. Further to addressing the two aforementioned points, we also discuss a number of other speech applications in which the short-time phase spectrum has proven to be very useful. We believe that an appreciation for how the short-time phase spectrum has been used for other tasks, in addition to the results of our research, will provoke fellow researchers to also investigate its potential for use in ASR.
Pressure dependence of the magnetization in the ferromagnetic superconductor UGe_2

description: The recent discovery that superconductivity occurs in several clean itinerant ferromagnets close to low temperature magnetic instabilities naturally invites an interpretation based on a proximity to quantum criticality. Here we report measurements of the pressure dependence of the low temperature magnetisation in one of these materials, UGe_2. Our results show that both of the magnetic transitions observed in this material as a function of pressure are first order transitions and do not therefore correspond to quantum critical points. Further we find that the known pressure dependence of the superconducting transition is not reflected in the pressure dependence of the static susceptibility. This demonstrates that the spectrum of excitations giving superconductivity is not that normally associated with a proximity to quantum criticality in weak itinerant ferromagnets. In contrast our data suggest that instead the pairing spectrum might be related to a sharp spike in the electronic density of states that also drives one of the magnetic transitions.

description: The experiences of caregivers in palliative care during the COVID-19 pandemic are crucial in understanding the unique challenges they face and the support they require. Their stories provide valuable insights into the impact of the pandemic on end-of-life care and the well-being of both patients and caregivers. The scope of empirical literature exploring caregiver's experiences in palliative care during the COVID-19 Pandemic is unknown. Using the five-stage process described by Arksey & O'Malley (2005) and PRISMA ScR guidelines, we are conducting this scoping review. Our search strategy has been deployed in seven databases (Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Nursing and Allied Health, Scopus, Cochrane and PychoINFO). Using Covidence, two independent raters are screening titles and abstracts, and conducting a full-text review of included studies.
Through our scoping review, we anticipate uncovering a comprehensive understanding of the experiences of caregivers in palliative care amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, shedding light on their challenges and support needs. This synthesis of literature will offer invaluable insights into the pandemic's impact on end-of-life care, enhancing the well-being of both patients and caregivers through informed interventions and policies.
