description: This paper describes a new magnetic trap for ultra-cold neutrons (UCNs) made from a 1.2 m long Halbach-octupole array of permanent magnets with an inner bore radius of 47 mm combined with an assembly of superconducting end coils and bias field solenoid. The use of the trap in a vertical, magneto-gravitational and a horizontal setup are compared in terms of the effective volume and ability to control key systematic effects that need to be addressed in high precision neutron lifetime measurements.

description: Pflanzen bilden die Basis allen Lebens auf der Erde: sie verwandeln Sonnenlicht in nutzbare Energie und produzieren Sauerstoff. Sie liefern uns Nahrung, Kleidung, Baumaterialien und Medizin. Dennoch spielen Pflanzen sowohl im gesellschaftlichen als auch schulischen Kontext meist nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Wandersee und Schussler (1998) haben diese Achtlosigkeit gegenüber Pflanzen aufgedeckt und ihr die Bezeichnung „Plant Blindness“ verliehen. Durch die BLUME ist ein biologiedidaktisches Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekt, das es sich zum Ziel gesetzt hat, Schülerinnen und Schülern einen begeisternden Zugang zur Welt der Pflanzen zu schaffen, botanisches Wissen zu vermitteln, die Bedeutung von Blütenpflanzen und pflanzlicher Vielfalt für das Leben auf der Erde bewusst zu machen und so der Plant Blindness ein Stück weit entgegenzuwirken. Dafür wurden verschiedene Konzepte und Materialien entwickelt, bei denen die originale Begegnung und praktische Auseinandersetzung mit den Pflanzen im Vordergrund stehen. Für ein schülernahes und authentisches Lernen wurden auch E-Learning-Elemente sowie der außerschulische Bildungsort Botanischer Garten mit einbezogen.

On the questions of asymptotic recoverability of information and subsystems in quantum gravity

description: A longstanding question in quantum gravity regards the localization of quantum information; one way to formulate this question is to ask how subsystems can be defined in quantum-gravitational systems. The gauge symmetry and necessity of solving the constraints appear to imply that the answers to this question here are different than in finite quantum systems, or in local quantum field theory. Specifically, the constraints can be solved by providing a "gravitational dressing" for the underlying field-theory operators, but this modifies their locality properties. It has been argued that holography itself may be explained through this role of the gauge symmetry and constraints, at the nonperturbative level, but there are also subtleties in constructing a holographic map in this approach. There are also claims that holography is implied even by perturbative solution of the constraints. This short note provides further examination of these questions, and in particular investigates to what extent perturbative or nonperturbative solution of the constraints implies that information naively thought to be localized can be recovered by asymptotic measurements, and the relevance of this in defining subsystems. In the leading perturbative case, the relevant effects are seen to be exponentially suppressed. These questions are, for example, important in sharply characterizing the unitarity problem for black holes.

description: Fiber Kerr resonators are simple driven resonators with desirable wavelength and repetition rate flexibility for generating ultrashort pulses for applications including telecommunications, biomedicine, and materials processing. However, fiber Kerr resonators to date often generate longer pulses and require more complicated techniques for generating single pulses than would be desirable for applications. Here we address these limits by demonstrating robust single-pulse performance with 120-fs pulse durations in fiber Kerr resonators based on stretched-pulse solitons. Through matching numerical and experimental studies, stretched-pulse soliton performance is found to strongly depend on the total cavity length, and the optimum length is found to depend on the drive, Raman scattering, and the total pulse stretching. By designing the cavity for this optimum with the described setup, stable stretched-pulse solitons with 120-fs duration are experimentally observed. In addition, soliton trapping is demonstrated with a pulsed drive source despite large intracavity breathing and single-pulse performance is observed. Robust with high performance single-pulse generation is a critical step toward useful femtosecond pulse generation.
Probing Shadowed Nuclear Sea with Massive Gauge Bosons in the Future Heavy-Ion Collisions

description: The production of the massive bosons $Z^0$ and $W^{\pm}$ could provide an excellent tool to study cold nuclear matter effects and the modifications of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) relative to parton distribution functions (PDFs) of a free proton in high energy nuclear reactions at the LHC as well as in heavy-ion collisions (HIC) with much higher center-of mass energies available in the future colliders. In this paper we calculate the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of the vector boson and their nuclear modification factors in p+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=63$TeV and in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=39$TeV in the framework of perturbative QCD by utilizing three parametrization sets of nPDFs: EPS09, DSSZ and nCTEQ. It is found that in heavy-ion collisions at such high colliding energies, both the rapidity distribution and the transverse momentum spectrum of vector bosons are considerably suppressed in wide kinematic regions with respect to p+p reactions due to large nuclear shadowing effect. We demonstrate that in the massive vector boson productions processes with sea quarks in the initial-state may give more contributions than those with valence quarks in the initial-state, therefore in future heavy-ion collisions the isospin effect is less pronounced and the charge asymmetry of W boson will be reduced significantly as compared to that at the LHC. Large difference between results with nCTEQ and results with EPS09 and DSSZ is observed in nuclear modifications of both rapidity and $p_T$ distributions of $Z^0$ and $W$ in the future HIC.

description: In this study, the conceptual design and physics simulations of a near-field Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) detector placed 100 meters from the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (ANPP), currently under construction and aiming at being Turkey's first nuclear power plant, is presented. The ANPP is an excellent opportunity for neutrino studies and the development of an R&D program for neutrino detectors in Turkey. The Reactor Neutrino Experiments of Turkey (RNET) program includes a compact and portable detector with a 2.5-ton volume of WbLS and a ~30% photo-coverage, and the program is planned to be expanded with a medium-size 30-ton detector that will be an international testbed for low energy neutrino studies for WbLS and new detector technologies. In the following, the focus will be on the smaller ~2.5-ton detector, instrumented with 8-inch high quantum efficiency PMTs and two layers of cosmic veto paddles, covering all sides of the detector, to track and veto cosmic particles. Inverse Beta Decay (IBD) events from electronic antineutrinos generated in the reactor core are simulated using the RAT-PAC simulation package and several liquids with different percentages of Liquid Scintillator (LS) and Gadolinium (Gd) are investigated.
Interplay of orientational order and roughness in simulated thin film growth of anisotropically interacting particles

description: Roughness and orientational order in thin films of anisotropic particles are investigated using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations on a cubic lattice. Anisotropic next-neighbor interactions between the lattice particles were chosen to mimic the effects of shape anisotropy in the interactions of disc- or rod-like molecules with van-der-Waals attractions. Increasing anisotropy leads first to a preferred orientation in the film (which is close to the corresponding equilibrium transition) while the qualitative mode of roughness evolution (known from isotropic systems) does not change. At strong anisotropies, an effective step-edge (Ehrlich-Schwoebel) barrier appears and a non-equilibrium roughening effect is found, accompanied by re-ordering in the film which can be interpreted as the nucleation and growth of domains of lying-down discs or rods. The information on order and roughness is combined into a diagram of dynamic growth modes.

Incorporating the Geometric Relationship of Adjacent Objects in Multi-Object Shape Analysis

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Modeling the shared boundary region between adjacent 3D objects can provide useful information regarding the geometric relationship of objects when performing multi-object shape analysis. Our analysis goes about modeling the shared boundary region of 3D objects with a 2D s-rep. An s rep is able to capture shape features like width, boundary locations, boundary normals, and object curvature. A 2D s-rep is fit to the shared boundary region of adjacent objects by mapping the shared boundary region onto the medial surface of an ellipsoid. Mapping onto a flat surface allows for the creation of the 2D s-rep, which we can map back to the curved shared boundary region. Incorporating the 2D s-rep of the shared boundary region along with the 3D s-reps of the adjacent objects allows for a more detailed multi-object representation to utilize for shape analysis. We conducted an experiment with computer-generated data of pairs of deformed ellipsoids that were either stretched, bent, or shifted and analyzed how well our representation is able to classify a deformed pair of ellipsoids from an undeformed pair. Our study found that a representation that included a 2D s-rep of the shared boundary region slightly increased the classification accuracy for classifying stretched, bent, and shifted ellipsoids.

description: The late universe contains a wealth of information about fundamental physics and gravity, wrapped up in non-Gaussian fields. To make use of as much information as possible it is necessary to go beyond two-point statistics. Rather than going to higher order N-point correlation functions, we demonstrate that the probability distribution function (PDF) of spheres in the matter field (a one-point function) already contains a significant amount of this non-Gaussian information. The matter PDF dissects different density environments which are lumped together in two-point statistics, making it particularly useful for probing modifications of gravity or expansion history. Our approach in Cataneo et. al. 2021 extends the success of Large Deviation Theory for predicting the matter PDF in $Λ$CDM in these ''extended'' cosmologies. A Fisher forecast demonstrates the information content in the matter PDF via constraints for a Euclid-like survey volume combining the 3D matter PDF with the 3D matter power spectrum. Adding the matter PDF halves the uncertainties on parameters in an evolving dark energy model, relative to the power spectrum alone. Additionally, the matter PDF contains enough non-linear information to substantially increase the detection significance of departures from General Relativity, with improvements up to six times the power spectrum alone. This analysis demonstrates that the matter PDF is a promising non-Gaussian statistic for extracting cosmological information, particularly for beyond $Λ$CDM models.

description: Accurate delivery of small targets in high vacuum is a pivotal task in many branches of science and technology. Beyond the different strategies developed for atoms, proteins, macroscopic clusters and pellets, the manipulation of neutral particles over macroscopic distances still poses a formidable challenge. Here we report a novel approach based on a mobile optical trap operated under feedback control that enables long range 3D manipulation of a silica nanoparticle in high vacuum. We apply this technique to load a single nanoparticle into a high-finesse optical cavity through a load-lock vacuum system. We foresee our scheme to benefit the field of optomechanics with levitating nano-objects as well as ultrasensitive detection and monitoring.

description: In three dairy grasslands on peat, minerals were added to manipulate the soil Ca:Mg ratio with or without effect on pH. The responses of soil properties and grass N yield were measured. CaCO3 application led to higher soil Ca:Mg ratio and pHKCl compared to the untreated control, decreased Ntotal and Ctotal, and increased P availability. Grass N yield increased in the first year by only 6% of the reduction in soil Ntotal, but not in the second year. A higher pH increased SOM decomposition, especially in soils with high P availability. MgCO3 reduced the Ca:Mg ratio, had little influence on soil parameters and no effect on grass N yield. In contrast, CaSO4 and MgSO4 did not influence pHKCl but reduced grass N yield in most cases. Results suggest stabilisation of organic matter by Ca binding in treatments with added Ca. We conclude that grass N yield was not linked with changes in Ca:Mg ratio but with soil pH. The pH effects on SOM decomposition depended on P availability and Ca binding. Hence, to avoid potentially large soil losses of C and N, the current agricultural advice on pH management in peat grasslands should be better adapted to local edaphic characteristics.

description: Proper management of the earth's natural resources is imperative to combat further degradation of the natural environment. However, the environmental datasets necessary for informed resource planning and conservation can be costly to collect and annotate. Consequently, there is a lack of publicly available datasets, particularly annotated image datasets relevant for environmental conservation, that can be used for the evaluation of machine learning algorithms to determine their applicability in real-world scenarios. To address this, the Time-evolving Data Science and Artificial Intelligence for Advanced Open Environmental Science (TAIAO) project in New Zealand aims to provide a collection of datasets and accompanying example notebooks for their analysis. This paper showcases three New Zealand-based annotated image datasets that form part of the collection. The first dataset contains annotated images of various predator species, mainly small invasive mammals, taken using low-light camera traps predominantly at night. The second provides aerial photography of the Waikato region in New Zealand, in which stands of Kahikatea (a native New Zealand tree) have been marked up using manual segmentation. The third is a dataset containing orthorectified high-resolution aerial photography, paired with satellite imagery taken by Sentinel-2. Additionally, the TAIAO web platform also contains a collated list of other datasets provided and licensed by our data partners that may be of interest to other researchers.

Non-Places in Postwar Italian Film: Roma Città Aperta, Ladri di Biciclette, and Le Mani sulla Città
Creators: name: Taiyo Kakefuda
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This work analyzes three postwar Italian films in the context of how spaces and places are portrayed through humanistic geographical conceptions of space and place such as Marc Augé’s ‘non-places’. Augé describes non-places as places which cannot be defined as relational, historical, or concerned with identity. Augé uses a poem of Baudelaire to say, if the spire of a church is a place, the chimney of a factory is a non-place. The most archetypal examples of non-places, he says, would be train stations and airports. From this, I will analyze Italy’s relationship with places and non-places through its films. As a modernized country with an extremely rich history, ever present on the landscape, Italy has a unique relationship with its places. Films such as Roma Città Aperta (Rossellini 1945), Ladri di Biciclette (De Sica 1948), and Le Mani Sulla Città (Rosi 1963) reveal the wariness or even disdain many Italians have had for non-places, lacking the cultural significance and alike in which their places are steeped. Through such film analysis I will examine Italy under the guiding question of those like Augé, Tuan, and Relph: how do people relate to the places they inhabit as the world moves forward, and as non-places like train stations and airports appear and places like cathedrals and ruins become spectacles and tourist attractions?

Quantifying the effect of DMSO on protein folding
Creators: name: Jonathan Giudice
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a small, amphipathic molecule widely used as an aprotic solvent in scientific research and as an intracellular cryoprotective agent (CPA) to protect mammalian or bacterial cells from damage during cooling and rewarming processes. However, the scientific rationale behind the concentration-dependence of DMSO CPA function is very limited, and there are currently no guidelines outlining which concentration should be used. The non-standard use of DMSO as a CPA has inhibited differentiation of human stem cells and resulted in cardiovascular failure from cells preserved for the use of transplant therapy. Having a clear understanding of how DMSO affects biomolecular structure and stability, and particularly how it affects these properties in the native cellular environment, is necessary to inform the proper use of DMSO in cryopreservation. I propose to study the effects of DMSO concentration on protein folding in vitro and in cells, as proteins are the most abundant macromolecule in cells and promote cellular toxicity when misfolded. This study will provide a model to assess the role of DMSO on protein folding in cells to determine clearer guidelines in the use of DMSO as a CPA.

description: We present the results of our Moon impact flashes detection campaigns performed around the maximum activity period of the Perseid meteor shower in 2012 and 2013. Just one flash produced by a Perseid meteoroid was detected in 2012 because of very unfavourable geometric conditions, but 12 of these were confirmed in 2013. The visual magnitude of the flashes ranged between 6.6 and 9.3. A luminous efficiency of 1.8 $\times$ 10$^{-3}$ has been estimated for meteoroids from this stream. According to this value, impactor masses would range between 1.9 and 190 g. In addition, we propose a criterion to establish, from a statistical point of view, the likely origin of impact flashes recorded on the lunar surface.

description: In the past decade graphene has been one of the most studied material for several unique and excellent properties. Due to its two dimensional nature, physical and chemical properties and ease of manipulation, graphene offers the possibility of integration with the exiting semiconductor technology for next-generation electronic and sensing devices. In this context, the understanding of the graphene/semiconductor interface is of great importance since it can constitute a versatile standalone device as well as the building-block of more advanced electronic systems. Since graphene was brought to the attention of the scientific community in 2004, the device research has been focused on the more complex graphene transistors, while the graphene/semiconductor junction, despite its importance, has started to be the subject of systematic investigation only recently. As a result, a thorough understanding of the physics and the potentialities of this device is still missing. The studies of the past few years have demonstrated that graphene can form junctions with 3D or 2D semiconducting materials which have rectifying characteristics and behave as excellent Schottky diodes. The main novelty of these devices is the tunable Schottky barrier height, a feature which makes the graphene/semiconductor junction a great platform for the study of interface transport mechanisms as well as for applications in photo-detection, high-speed communications, solar cells, chemical and biological sensing, etc. In this paper, we review the state-of-the art of the research on graphene/semiconductor junctions, the attempts towards a modeling and the most promising applications.

description: We outline the concrete steps involved in building prescriptive master integrand bases for scattering amplitudes beyond the planar limit. We highlight the role of contour choices in such bases, and illustrate the full process by constructing a complete, triangle power-counting basis at two loops for six particles. We show how collinear contour choices can be used to divide integrand bases into separately finite and divergent subspaces, and how double-poles can be used to further subdivide these spaces according to (transcendental) weight. Complete details of the basis constructed for six particles is provided in the ancillary files for this work's submission to the arXiv.

description: We present the uncertainty relation for the characteristic functions (ChUR) of the quantum mechanical position and momentum probability distributions. This inequality is more general than the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation, and is saturated in two extremal cases for wavefunctions described by periodic Dirac combs. We further discuss a broad spectrum of applications of the ChUR, in particular, we constrain quantum optical measurements involving general detection apertures and provide the uncertainty relation that is relevant for Loop Quantum Cosmology. A method to measure the characteristic function directly using an auxiliary qubit is also briefly discussed.

description: Aotearoa New Zealand’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has included the use of algorithms that could aid decision making. Te Pokapū Hātepe o Aotearoa, the New Zealand Algorithm Hub, was established to evaluate and host COVID-19 related models and algorithms, and provide a central and secure infrastructure to support the country’s pandemic response. A critical aspect of the Hub was the formation of an appropriate governance group to ensure that algorithms being deployed underwent cross-disciplinary scrutiny prior to being made available for quick and safe implementation. This framework necessarily canvassed a broad range of perspectives, including from data science, clinical, Māori, consumer, ethical, public health, privacy, legal and governmental perspectives. To our knowledge, this is the first implementation of national algorithm governance of this type, building upon broad local and global discussion of guidelines in recent years. This paper describes the experiences and lessons learned through this process from the perspective of governance group members, emphasising the role of robust governance processes in building a high-trust platform that enables rapid translation of algorithms from research to practice.
Submillimeter Array High-angular Resolution Observations of the Monoceros R2 Star Forming Cluster

description: We present the first high-angular resolution study of the MonR2 star-forming complex carried out with the Submillimeter Array at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths. We image the continuum and molecular line emission toward the young stellar objects in MonR2 at 0.85mm and 1.3mm, with resolutions ranging from 0.5" to ~3". While free-free emission dominates the IRS1 and IRS2 continuum, dust thermal emission prevails for IRS3 and IRS5, giving envelope masses of ~0.1-0.3 M_Sun. IRS5 splits into at least two sub-arcsecond scale sources, IRS5B and the more massive IRS5A. Our 12CO(2-1) images reveal 11 previously unknown molecular outflows in the MonR2 clump. Comparing these outflows with known IR sources in the IRS5 and IRS3 subclusters allows for tentative identification of driving stars. Line images of molecular species such as CH3CN or CH3OH show that, besides IRS3 (a well-known hot molecular core), IRS5 is also a chemically active source in the region. The gas excitation temperature derived from CH3CN lines toward IRS5 is 144 \pm 15 K, indicating a deeply embedded protostar at the hot-core evolutionary stage. SED fitting of IRS5 gives a mass of ~7 M_Sun and a luminosity of 300 L_Sun for the central source. The derived physical properties of the CO outflows suggest that they contribute to the turbulent support of the MonR2 complex and to the gas velocity dispersion in the clump's center. The detection of a large number of CO outflows widespread across the region supports the competitive accretion scenario as origin of the MonR2 star cluster.

I progetti europei del Comune di Milano per innovare la food policy

description: L’innovazione delle food policy in Europa passa anche dai progetti finanziati dal programma Horizon. Le città europee del Working Group Food di Eurocities e
del Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (in primis Milano, Copenhagen e Ghent) dal 2015 sono attive in un’ampia strategia di advocacy, avviata a Milano durante Expo
con il lancio di “Food 2030”, che ha generato opportunità a cascata in oltre 60 città (fig. 1) e contribuito a rafforzare l’azione sulle food policy delle DG europee
coinvolte. Il Comune di Milano dispone di un punto di vista privilegiato; essendo sia co-promotore dell’advocacy, sia beneficiario di tali opportunità. In quest’ottica, tralasciando l’interessante percorso che ha consentito di arrivare ai risultati odierni, Milano sta coordinando e partecipando a 9 progetti europei, gestendo direttamente un budget europeo di 21,5 M€ e lavorando con 167 partner dei quali 56 città europee. L’intuizione del Comune di Milano e della Fondazione Cariplo è stata quella di
connettere localmente ogni progetto ad un’azione attuativa della food policy, avendo un approccio integrato e non occasionale.

description: The Internet generates large volumes of data at a high rate, in particular, posts on social networks. Although social network data has numerous semantic adulterations, and is not intended to be a source of geo-spatial information, in the text of posts we find pieces of important information about how people relate to their environment, which can be used to identify interesting aspects of how human beings interact with portions of land based on their activities. This research proposes a methodology for the identification of land uses using Natural Language Processing (NLP) from the contents of the popular social network Twitter. It will be approached by identifying keywords with linguistic patterns from the text, and the geographical coordinates associated with the publication. Context-specific innovations are introduced to deal with data across South America and, in particular, in the city of Arequipa, Peru. The objective is to identify the five main land uses: residential, commercial, institutional-governmental, industrial-offices and unbuilt land. Within the framework of urban planning and sustainable urban management, the methodology contributes to the optimization of the identification techniques applied for the updating of land use cadastres, since the results achieved an accuracy of about 90%, which motivates its application in the real context. In addition, it would allow the identification of land use categories at a more detailed level, in situations such as a complex/mixed distribution building based on the amount of data collected. Finally, the methodology makes land use information available in a more up-to-date fashion and, above all, avoids the high economic cost of the non-automatic production of land use maps for cities, mostly in developing countries.

EXPERIENCES OF BLACK WOMEN: EXAMINING THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PERCEIVED COMMUNITY RACISM AND MENTAL HEALTH
Creators: name: Braithwaite, Paige
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This study examined the relationship between perceived community racism and the presence of psychological distress (mental health) among Black women. Data came from the Durham Child Health and Development Study (DCHDS) with a sample of 94 Black mothers. The study found associations between psychological distress and community racism. A low income-to-needs-ratio was also associated with psychological distress. Education was not a significant predictor of psychological distress. This study supported previous research that found an association between perceived community racism and psychological distress among Black women and has implications for their mental health. The paper discusses how social support could potentially mitigate the impacts of racism on the mental health of Black women.
