description: Plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria can potentially improve the biomass production of Hg-accumulating grasses, resulting in improved Hg extraction from contaminated soils. This study aimed to analyze the effect of inoculation of Hg-resistant endophytic bacteria (i) Jeotgalicoccus huakuii (B1) and (ii) Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (B2), as single and consortium inoculant, on biomass production and Hg bioaccumulation of Bermuda grass (R1) and Indian goosegrass (R2) planted as monoculture and mixed cropping. The grass seeds were surface-sterilized before the inoculation. Both inoculated seeds with B1 and B2 (treatments) and uninoculated seeds were sown separately in sterilized sand. Grass seedlings of both treatments and control were replanted in the washed and sterilized sand medium, spiked with HgCl2 (100 mg kg−1). A subset of grass was harvested at 0, 4, 6, and 10 weeks after planting to measure biomass production and Hg bioaccumulation. The results showed that bacterial inoculation enhanced the grass biomass by 52.68% and Hg bioaccumulation by 47.76%. Mercury residue of Hg-spiked sand treated with the bacterial consortium was reduced by 80%. This suggests that endophytic bacteria can improve grass biomass production and enhance Hg bioaccumulation in grass biomass. Endophytic bacteria that reside within Bermuda grass and Indian goosegrass displayed beneficial associations for modulating Hg phytoremediation. Inoculation of Hg-resistant endophytic bacteria increased biomass production (root and shoot) of Bermuda grass and Indian goosegrass.

description: Der Aufsatz erprobt das Konzept der transkulturellen Staatlichkeit am Beispiel der Rechtsordnung, d. h. Rechtsprechung und Gesetzgebung. Untersucht werden ausgewählte Aspekte der französischen Rechtsprechungspraxis gegenüber indischen Akteuren in Pondicherry, der wirtschaftlichen wie administrativen Zentrale der französischen Unternehmungen in Südindien, während des 18. Jahrhunderts. Obwohl die Haltung des frühen französischen Kolonialregimes gegenüber der zivilen Gerichtsbarkeit darauf ausgerichtet war, über jede soziale Gruppe gemäß ihrer eigenen Rechtsnormen Recht zu sprechen, argumentiert diese Arbeit, dass die Situation in der Praxis weitaus uneindeutiger war. Dies gilt insbesondere für die indischen Christen, deren Existenz bereits Resultat von Kulturkontakt war und die daher nicht in die sozial-rechtlichen Kategorien passten, die durch das frühe Kolonialregime als Grundlage für die Rechtsprechung definiert worden waren. Ausgehend von einer Untersuchung verschiedener Rechtsstreitigkeiten aus der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts zeigt der Aufsatz auf, dass die Demarkationslinien in dieser Situation der Rechtsvielfalt insbesondere in Bezug auf indische Christen viel flexibler und in höherem Maße offen für Aushandlung waren als bisher in der Forschungsliteratur angenommen. Die Prozesse brachten gerichtliche Entscheidungen hervor, die einen Kompromiss zwischen verschiedenen Rechtstraditionen darstellen. Durch diesen Kompromisscharakter standen die Urteile paradoxerweise nicht nur im Konflikt mit eben jenem Prinzip, welches die Verwaltung von Pondicherry der Rechtsprechung eigentlich zugrundelegte, sondern sie sind zugleich paradigmatisch für die Transkulturalität des in der Entstehung begriffenen französischen Kolonialstaats in Indien.

description: Nach Schopenhauer ist das Leib-Seele-Problem das Kernproblem der Philosophie. Unterschieden werden in der Hauptsache Dualismus, also die explizite Trennung von Leib und Seele, und Monismus, der ohne diese Zweiteilung auskommt. Hierbei bietet der monistische Panpsychismus in seiner graduellen Variante zwar einige lösungsorientierte, aber doch noch unbefriedigende Aspekte. Nur ein neuer, aus der Systemtheorie abgeleiteter, phänomenologisch-epigenetischer Lösungsansatz samt den sich daraus ergebenden Schlussfolgerungen erscheint haltbar und kann sich einer wissenschaftlichen Überprüfung stellen.
description: According to Schopenhauer, the mind-body problem is the central problem of philosophy. The main differences are Dualism, that is the explicit separation of mind and body and Monism, which does not require this distinction. The monistic Panpsychism in its gradual variant offers some solution-oriented, but still unsatisfactory aspects. Only the System theory extended by a new phenomenological-epigenetic approach and the resulting conclusions seem tenable and can face scientific evaluation.

description: Much progress in the theory of positron scattering on atoms has been made in the ten years since the review of Surko, Gribakin and Buckman [J. Phys. B 38, R57 (2005)]. We review this progress for few-electron targets with a particular emphasis on the two-centre convergent close-coupling and other theories which explicitly treat positronium (Ps) formation. While substantial progress has been made for Ps formation in positron scattering on few-electron targets, considerable theoretical development is still required for multielectron atomic and molecular targets.

description: Der China-Feldzug der britisch-französischen Truppen von 860 endete zwar mit einer Niederlage für China, leitete aber gleichzeitig eine neue Phase der diplomatischen Beziehungen zu den Westmächten ein. Die vorliegende Untersuchung der während des Krieges geführten politischen Verhandlungen zeigt, dass es zu Annäherungen kam, indem beide Seiten die diplomatischen Gepflogenheiten und Systeme des jeweils anderen zu erkennen trachteten und in einem transkulturellen Prozess in die Fortführung der Verhandlungen integrierten. Damit wird der traditionellen Deutung dieses Ereignisses als Meilenstein des europäischen Imperialismus eine neue Dimension hinzugefügt: Das chinesische System der Außenbeziehungen war wie das europäische sehr flexibel, und auch die „informal empires“ mussten stets neu verhandelt werden.

description: Semantic segmentation for extracting buildings and roads from uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing images by deep learning becomes a more efficient and convenient method than traditional manual segmentation in surveying and mapping fields. In order to make the model lightweight and improve the model accuracy, a Lightweight Network Using Object Attention (LOANet) for Buildings and Roads from UAV Aerial Remote Sensing Images is proposed. The proposed network adopts an encoder-decoder architecture in which a Lightweight Densely Connected Network (LDCNet) is developed as the encoder. In the decoder part, the dual multi-scale context modules which consist of the Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling module (ASPP) and the Object Attention Module (OAM) are designed to capture more context information from feature maps of UAV remote sensing images. Between ASPP and OAM, a Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) module is used to fuse multi-scale features extracted from ASPP. A private dataset of remote sensing images taken by UAV which contains 2431 training sets, 945 validation sets, and 475 test sets is constructed. The proposed basic model performs well on this dataset, with only 1.4M parameters and 5.48G floating point operations (FLOPs), achieving excellent mean Intersection-over-Union (mIoU). Further experiments on the publicly available LoveDA and CITY-OSM datasets have been conducted to further validate the effectiveness of the proposed basic and large model, and outstanding mIoU results have been achieved. All codes are available on https://github.com/GtLinyer/LOANet.

description: Personalized Federated Learning (PFL) is a new Federated Learning (FL) paradigm, particularly tackling the heterogeneity issues brought by various mobile user equipments (UEs) in mobile edge computing (MEC) networks. However, due to the ever-increasing number of UEs and the complicated administrative work it brings, it is desirable to switch the PFL algorithm from its conventional two-layer framework to a multiple-layer one. In this paper, we propose hierarchical PFL (HPFL), an algorithm for deploying PFL over massive MEC networks. The UEs in HPFL are divided into multiple clusters, and the UEs in each cluster forward their local updates to the edge server (ES) synchronously for edge model aggregation, while the ESs forward their edge models to the cloud server semi-asynchronously for global model aggregation. The above training manner leads to a tradeoff between the training loss in each round and the round latency. HPFL combines the objectives of training loss minimization and round latency minimization while jointly determining the optimal bandwidth allocation as well as the ES scheduling policy in the hierarchical learning framework. Extensive experiments verify that HPFL not only guarantees convergence in hierarchical aggregation frameworks but also has advantages in round training loss maximization and round latency minimization.

description: By exploiting the freedom in defining the dual of spinors, we report an unexpected theoretical discovery of a quantum field theory of spin-half bosons. It fulfils Dirac's 1969-70 observation that "there must be boson variables connected with electrons." The theory is local, Lorentz-invariant, and has a positive-definite Hamiltonian. We formulate the unitarity-preserving scattering theory to accommodate the new dual and the associated adjoint. A model of Yukawa interaction with spin-half bosons and fermions of equal masses is studied to explicitly show unitarity.

Year: 2022

description: We present a numerical study to characterize nonlinear unsteady aeroelastic interactions of two-dimensional flexible wings at high angles of attack. The coupled fluid-flexible wing system is solved by a body-fitted variational aeroelastic solver based on the fully-coupled Navier-Stokes and nonlinear structural equations. Using the coupled fluid-structure analysis, this study is aimed to provide physical insight and correlations for the aeroelastic behavior of flexible wings in the parameter space of the angle of attack and the aeroelastic number. The phase diagrams of the aerodynamic performance are established to obtain the envelope curves of the optimal performance and determine the transition line of the drag variation. The effects of the angle of attack and the aeroelastic number on the aeroelastic behaviors are systematically examined. The time-averaged membrane deformation is positively correlated with a non-dimensional number, the so-called Weber number. A new scaling relation is proposed based on the dynamic equilibrium between the aerodynamic force fluctuation and the combined inertia-elastic fluctuation. The unsteady aerodynamic force can be adjusted by manipulating the membrane vibration, the mass ratio, the Strouhal number and the aeroelastic number. The numerical investigations provide design guidelines and have the potential to enhance the maneuverability and flight agility of micro air vehicles with flexible wing structures.

description: Molecular biology and biochemistry interpret microscopic processes in the living world in terms of molecular structures and their interactions, which are quantum mechanical by their very nature. Whereas the theoretical foundations of these interactions are very well established, the computational solution of the relevant quantum mechanical equations is very hard. However, much of molecular function in biology can be understood in terms of classical mechanics, where the interactions of electrons and nuclei have been mapped onto effective classical surrogate potentials that model the interaction of atoms or even larger entities. The simple mathematical structure of these potentials offers huge computational advantages; however, this comes at the cost that all quantum correlations and the rigorous many-particle nature of the interactions are omitted. In this work, we discuss how quantum computation may advance the practical usefulness of the quantum foundations of molecular biology by offering computational advantages for simulations of biomolecules. We not only discuss typical quantum mechanical problems of the electronic structure of biomolecules in this context, but also consider the dominating classical problems (such as protein folding and drug design) as well as data-driven approaches of bioinformatics and the degree to which they might become amenable to quantum simulation and quantum computation.

Simplified Engineering Simulation

description: Dans la continuité du projet de semestre 5 « Simulation et optimisation SIG du réseau CAD de Broc », il a été mis en évidence la nécessité d’optimiser la prise de mesures aux sous-stations ainsi qu’à la centrale de chauffe de Broc. Malheureusement, après avoir analysé les relevés de mesures aux sous-stations en conditions réelles, il s’est avéré que les valeurs ne peuvent pas être exploitées en vue de valider le Solver Eguzki. C’est pourquoi des mesures ont été prélevées directement sur les écrans des automates à une des sous-stations du réseau de chaleur à distance. Il faut savoir que les sous-stations composant le réseau CAD sont dépourvues d’instruments permettant de relever des mesures de pression. Il s’est avéré judicieux d’installer des sondes de pression à la sous-station précédemment citée en vue de valider les pertes de charge au niveau de l’échangeur et de la vanne 2 voies dépendant notamment du débit et du coefficient kvs. Après avoir valider le Solver Eguzki en effectuant diverses simulations se basant notamment sur les mesures susmentionnées, il a été possible de définir que l’algorithme pouvait atteindre une précision de ±12.8%.
 Ensuite, il a été question de chiffrer les gains économiques et énergétiques qui pouvaient être réalisés en exploitant le Solver Eguzki. En se basant sur des puissances horaires simulées et obtenues grâce au logiciel CitySim, diverses simulations ont été effectuées avec Eguzki. A l’aide de celles-ci, il a été possible de déterminer la nouvelle courbe MCR des pompes et de la comparer à celle actuellement exploitée à la centrale de chauffe de Broc. Les différents points de fonctionnement obtenus par simulation et l’équivalence pour le modèle de régulation actuel ont été insérés sur le site du fournisseur des pompes afin de déterminer la puissance électrique nette demandée par les pompes. Cette première optimisation a permis de définir que la courbe de régulation actuelle n’est pas adaptée et que les coûts électriques annuels peuvent être diminuer d’au moins 77.0% en utilisant la courbe MCR des pompes déterminée à l’aide du Solver Eguzki.
 Dans une deuxième phase, une optimisation dimensionnelle a été effectuée en se basant sur le jour type le plus critique déterminé sur la base des puissances horaires simulées avec CitySim. A partir de simulations effectuées avec Eguzki, les diamètres des conduites constituant le réseau CAD ont pu être modifiés en vue d’atteindre un équilibre optimisé entre les déperditions thermiques dans le sol et les pertes de charge que doivent remonter les pompes à la centrale de chauffe.

description: Dynamical Dark Matter (DDM) is an alternative framework for dark-matter physics in which the dark sector comprises a vast ensemble of particle species whose decay widths are balanced against their cosmological abundances. Previous studies of this framework have focused on a particular class of DDM ensembles --- motivated primarily by KK towers in theories with extra dimensions --- in which the density of states scales roughly as a polynomial of mass. In this paper, by contrast, we study the properties of a different class of DDM ensembles in which the density of states grows exponentially with mass. Ensembles with this Hagedorn-like property arise naturally as the "hadrons" associated with the confining phase of a strongly-coupled dark sector; they also arise naturally as the gauge-neutral bulk states of Type I string theories. We study the dynamical properties of such ensembles, and demonstrate that an appropriate DDM-like balancing between decay widths and abundances can emerge naturally --- even with an exponentially rising density of states. We also study the effective equations of state for such ensembles, and investigate some of the model-independent observational constraints on such ensembles that follow directly from these equations of state. In general, we find that such constraints tend to introduce correlations between various properties of these DDM ensembles such as their associated mass scales, lifetimes, and abundance distributions. For example, we find that these constraints allow DDM ensembles with energy scales ranging from the GeV scale all the way to the Planck scale, but the total present-day cosmological abundance of the dark sector must be spread across an increasing number of different states in the ensemble as these energy scales are dialed from the Planck scale down to the GeV scale. Numerous other correlations and constraints are also discussed.

description: Quantum scrambling describes the spreading of local information into many degrees of freedom in quantum systems. This provides the conceptual connection among diverse phenomena ranging from thermalizing quantum dynamics to models of black holes. Here we experimentally probe the exponential scrambling of a multi-particle system near a bistable point in phase space and utilize it for entanglement-enhanced metrology. We use a time-reversal protocol to observe a simultaneous exponential growth of both the metrological gain and the out-of-time-order correlator, thereby experimentally verifying the relation between quantum metrology and quantum information scrambling. Our experiments demonstrate that fast-scrambling dynamics capable of exponentially fast entanglement generation are useful for practical metrology, resulting in 6.8(4) dB gain beyond the Standard Quantum Limit.

description: The two-nucleon momentum distributions have been calculated for nuclei up to A=40 and various values of the relative and center-of-mass momenta and angle between them. For complex nuclei a parameter-free linked-cluster expansion, based upon a realistic local two-nucleon interaction of the Argonne family and variational wave function featuring central, tensor, spin and iso-spin correlations, has been used. The obtained results show that: 1) independently of the mass number A, at values of the relative momentum k_rel> 2 fm^{-1} the proton-neutron momentum distributions for back-to-back (BB) nucleons (K_cm=0) exhibit the factorization property n_A^{pn}(k_rel,K_cm=0)=C_A^{pn} n_D(k_rel) n_{cm}^{pn}(K_cm=0), where n_D is the deuteron momentum distribution, n_{cm}^{pn}(K_{cm}=0) the momentum distribution of the c.m. motion of the pair and C_A^{pn} the nuclear contact measuring the number of BB pn pairs with deuteron-like momenta; 2) the values of the proton-neutron nuclear contact C_A^{pn} are obtained in a model-independent way from the ratio n_A^{pn}(k_rel,K_cm=0)/n_D(k_rel) n_{cm}^{pn}(K_cm=0); 3) also the K_cm-integrated pn momentum distributions divided by the deuteron momentum distribution exhibits a constant behavior equal to C_A^{pn}, but only at very high values of k_{rel}> 3.5fm^{-1}, where the relative momentum distribution is entirely governed by BB short-range correlated nucleons; 4) the absolute value of the number of pn and pp short-range correlated pairs is calculated, illustrating that the high values (K_cm>1 fm^{-1}) of the pair c.m. momentum appreciably reduce the dominance of the pn over pp pairs produced by the tensor force when K_cm=0; 5) calculations are in good agreement with the VMC calculations for light nuclei and with available experimental on the processes A(e,e'pn)X and A(e,e'pp)X.

description: We give a detailed account of the phenomenology of all-order resummations of logarithmically enhanced contributions at small momentum fraction of the observed hadron in semi-inclusive electron-positron annihilation and the time-like scale evolution of parton-to-hadron fragmentation functions. The formalism to perform resummations in Mellin moment space is briefly reviewed, and all relevant expressions up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order are derived, including their explicit dependence on the factorization and renormalization scales. We discuss the details pertinent to a proper numerical implementation of the resummed results comprising an iterative solution to the time-like evolution equations, the matching to known fixed-order expressions, and the choice of the contour in the Mellin inverse transformation. First extractions of parton-to-pion fragmentation functions from semi-inclusive annihilation data are performed at different logarithmic orders of the resummations in order to estimate their phenomenological relevance. To this end, we compare our results to corresponding fits up to fixed, next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy and study the residual dependence on the factorization scale in each case.

Quite satisfactory accord is found for the equilibrium bond lengths and dissociation energies for both species. The predicted vertical ionization energy for P2 by means of the extended Koopmans' theorem is 10.57 eV in good agreement with the experimental data. Comparison of the vibrational energies and anharmonicities with their corresponding experimental values supports the quality of the resultant potential energy curves.

description: We present a detailed analysis of the physics governing the collection efficiency and the Purcell enhancement of the nanopost single-photon source. We show that a standard single-mode Fabry-Pérot model is insufficient to describe the device performance, which benefits significantly from scattering from the fundamental mode to radiation modes. We show how the scattering mechanism decouples the collection efficiency from the Purcell enhancement, such that maximum collection efficiency is obtained off-resonance. Finally, we discuss how this scattering mechanism can be beneficial for future single-photon source designs.

description: Partial methods play an important role in formal methods and beyond. Recently such methods were developed for parity games, where polynomial-time partial solvers decide the winners of a subset of nodes. We investigate here how effective polynomial-time partial solvers can be by studying interactions of partial solvers based on generic composition patterns that preserve polynomial-time computability. We show that use of such composition patterns discovers new partial solvers - including those that merge node sets that have the same but unknown winner - by studying games that composed partial solvers can neither solve nor simplify. We experimentally validate that this data-driven approach to refinement leads to polynomial-time partial solvers that can solve all standard benchmarks of structured games. For one of these polynomial-time partial solvers not even a sole random game from a few billion random games of varying configuration was found that it won't solve completely.

description: The diffusion of small molecular penetrants through polymeric materials represents an important fundamental problem, relevant to the design of materials for applications such as coatings and membranes. Polymer networks hold promise in these applications, because dramatic differences in molecular diffusion can result from subtle changes in the network structure. In this paper, we use molecular simulation to understand the role that crosslinked network polymers have in governing the molecular motion of penetrants. By considering the local, activated alpha relaxation time of the penetrant and its long-time diffusive dynamics, we can determine the relative importance of activated glassy dynamics on penetrants at the segmental scale versus entropic mesh confinement on penetrant diffusion. We vary several parameters, such as the crosslinking density, temperature, and penetrant size, to show that crosslinks primarily affect molecular diffusion through modification of the matrix glass transition, with local penetrant hopping at least partially coupled to the segmental relaxation of the polymer network. This coupling is very sensitive to the local activated segmental dynamics of the surrounding matrix, and we also show that penetrant transport is affected by dynamic heterogeneity at low temperatures. To contrast, only at high temperatures and for large penetrants or when the dynamic heterogeneity effect is weak does the effect of mesh confinement become significant, even though penetrant diffusion more broadly empirically follows similar trends as established models of mesh confinement-based transport.

description: We construct and study the simplest universal dissipative Lindblad master equation for many-body systems with the purpose of a new dissipative extension of existing nonrelativistic theories of fundamental spontaneous decoherence and spontaneous wave function collapse in nature. It is universal as it is written in terms of second-quantized mass density $\hat ρ$ and current $\hat J$, thus making it independent of the material structure and its parameters. Assuming linear friction in the current, we find that the dissipative structure is strictly constrained. Following the general structure of our dissipative Lindblad equation, we derive and analyze the dissipative extensions of the two most known spontaneous wave function collapse models, the Diósi-Penrose and the continuous spontaneous localization models.

description: In the autumn of 1913, the so-called Carnegie Committee visited the Balkan countries. The committee consisted of unbiased intellectuals, sent by the Carnegie Endowment for Peace in New York, in order to investigate the mutual accusations that the Balkan states uttered against each other about the course and conduct of the Balkan Wars. They were especially welcome in Bulgaria, the country that had sparked the second Balkan War and thus faced the largest number of war crime allegations. After their return, the members of the committee published the results of the investigation in an extensive volume, both in French and English. In the report, they concluded that the committed atrocities were generally characteristic of military actions at the time and that one could hardly determine that any of the Balkan nations was more guilty than the other. The paper examines the activity of the committee and analyses its publication by referring to the archives of the Carnegie endowment, materials from Bulgarian archives and the contemporary press.

description: The next Galactic core-collapse supernova (CCSN) will be a unique opportunity to study within a fully multi-messenger approach the explosion mechanism responsible for the formation of neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes. State-of-the-art numerical simulations of those events reveal the complexity of the gravitational-wave emission which is highly stochastic. This challenges the possibility to infer the properties of the compact remnant and of its progenitor using the information encoded in the waveforms. In this paper we take further steps in a program we recently initiated to overcome those difficulties. In particular we show how oscillation modes of the proto-neutron star, highly visible in the gravitational-wave signal, can be used to reconstruct the time evolution of their physical properties. Extending our previous work where only the information from a single detector was used we here describe a new data-analysis pipeline that coherently combines gravitational-wave detectors' data and infers the time evolution of a combination of the mass and radius of the compact remnant. The performance of the method is estimated employing waveforms from 2D and 3D CCSN simulations covering a progenitor mass range between 11$\mathrm{M_{\odot}}$\, and 40$\mathrm{M_{\odot}}$\, and different equations of state for both a network of up to five second-generation detectors and the proposed third-generation detectors Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer. Our study shows that it will be possible to infer PNS properties for CCSN events occurring in the vicinity of the Milky Way, up to the Large Magellanic Cloud, with the current generation of gravitational-wave detectors.

description: This paper examines the Greek attitude towards the Carnegie inquiry on the Causes and Conduct of the Balkan Wars of 1912/13. At first, the study shows that the Greek government had launched long before the setup of the Carnegie inquiry a propaganda campaign accusing mainly Bulgaria of committing terrible massacres against both combatants and civilians. Furthermore, Athens was requesting that the Great Powers allow for an investigation of the Bulgarian war crimes by an international expert commission. Nevertheless, this alleged willingness to shed light on the horrors of the Balkan Wars turned into reluctance when the Carnegie men arrived in Thessaloniki. Before the arrival in Greece, the commission had visited Belgrade where the Serbian government refused cooperation by accusing two commission members, namely Pavel Miliukov and Henry Brailsford, of being pro-Bulgarian. The Greek government as well as the Greek media followed closely how Belgrade turned down the commission and expelled it from Serbia. They did this by showing a complete understanding for the Serbian position. Thus, not surprisingly, the Greek authorities also refused to work with the Carnegie commission when its members reached Thessaloniki at the end of August 1913. Like the Serbs, the Greeks claimed that the objective criteria of the inquiry could not be guaranteed because of Miljukov’s and Brailsford’s pro-Bulgarian bias. The other two members, Samuel Dutton and Justin Godart, were offered individual permission to conduct research, but they both turned the offer down. The Carnegie Report, published in 1914, charged the Greek army and irregulars with war crimes and other violations of humanitarian international law. The Greek reaction was either to completely ignore the report, or, if not so, to dismiss it as a “Bulgarian pamphlet”. The Greek historiography has until now showed little interest in the Carnegie commission and its report, but in the cases it has, the focus has been on the “false” ethnological data on Ottoman Macedonia being introduced into the report by the “Bulgarophile” Miljukov. On the other hand, the Macedonian historiography has in the last years “rediscovered” the Carnegie Report in writing a history of the Balkan Wars as a history of “ethnic cleansing”, even “genocide” against the Macedonian people.

description: As first demonstrated by Hanbury Brown and Twiss, it is possible to observe interference between independent light sources by measuring correlations in their intensities rather than their amplitudes. In this work, we apply this concept of intensity interferometry to holography. We combine a signal beam with a reference and measure their intensity cross-correlations using a time-tagging single-photon camera. These correlations reveal an interference pattern from which we reconstruct the signal wavefront in both intensity and phase. We demonstrate the principle with classical and quantum light, including a single photon. Since the signal and reference do not need to be phase-stable, this technique can be used to generate holograms of self-luminous or remote objects using a local reference, thus opening the door to new holography applications.

description: The British journalist and Labour politician Henry Noël Brailsford was probably the most knowledgeable member of the Carnegie Commission to the Balkans of 1913. Between 1897 and 1904, he had spent several months in Greece as well as in Ottoman Macedonia, and in 1906 he published his widely read book Macedonia. Its Races and Their Future. Accordingly, a substantial part of the commission’s report of 1914 was written by him. In Serbia and Greece, he was accused of pro-Bulgarian leanings, and indeed in World War I he opted for an incorporation of the Macedonian region into the Kingdom of Bulgaria. During World War II, however, Brailsford developed sympathies for Tito and supported his post-war project of founding a new Macedonian nation.

description: The solar-cyle variation of acoustic mode frequencies has a frequency dependence related to the inverse mode inertia. The discrepancy between model predictions and measured oscillation frequencies for solar and solar-type stellar acoustic modes includes a significant frequency-dependent term known as the surface term that is also related to the inverse mode inertia. We parametrize both the surface term and the frequency variations for low-degree solar data from Birmingham Solar-Oscillations Network (BiSON) and medium-degree data from the Global Oscillations Network Group (GONG) using the mode inertia together with cubic and inverse frequency terms. We find that for the central frequency of rotationally split multiplets the cubic term dominates both the average surface term and the temporal variation, but for the medium-degree case the inverse term improves the fit to the temporal variation. We also examine the variation of the even-order splitting coefficients for the medium-degree data and find that, as for the central frequency, the latitude-dependent frequency variation, which reflects the changing latitudinal distribution of magnetic activity over the solar cycle, can be described by the combination of a cubic and an inverse function of frequency scaled by inverse mode inertia. The results suggest that this simple parametrization could be used to assess the activity-related frequency variation in solar-like asteroseismic targets.
