description: Der Beitrag beleuchtet Mechanismen, die geschlechtsspezifische (Un-)Gleichheit in Unternehmen fördern. Dabei interessiert das Zusammenspiel von innerbetrieblichen Vorstellungen und dem dominierenden Diskurs der aktuellen schweizerischen Gleichstellungspolitik (Wirtschaftsnutzendiskurs). Dokumente, Interviews und Statistiken eines mittelgroßen Industrieunternehmens, das an einem typischen Gleichstellungsprojekt teilgenommen hat, werden diskursiv analysiert. Die Resultate zeigen sowohl Möglichkeiten zur Reduktion als auch Risiken zur Verfestigung von geschlechtsspezifischen Ungleichheiten auf. Dabei sind insbesondere betriebliche Vorstellungen von Führungspositionen und Teilzeitarbeit relevant. Diese können in Interaktion mit unverbindlichen und individuellen Lösungen, die durch den Wirtschaftsnutzendiskurs legitimiert werden, kontraproduktiv zu einer Verfestigung von Geschlechterungleichheiten führen.

Quantum parameter estimation in a dissipative environment
Creators: name: Wu, Wei

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the performance of quantum parameter estimation based on a qubit probe in a dissipative bosonic environment beyond the traditional paradigm of weak-coupling and rotating-wave approximations. By making use of an exactly numerical hierarchical equations of motion method, we analyze the influences of the non-Markovian memory effect induced by the environment and the form of probe-environment interaction on the estimation precision. It is found that (i) the non-Markovianity can effectively boost the estimation performance and (ii) the estimation precision can be improved by introducing a perpendicular probe-environment interaction. Our results indicate the scheme of parameter estimation in a noisy environment can be optimized via engineering the decoherence mechanism.
Effect of dopant atoms on local superexchange in cuprate superconductors: a perturbative treatment

description: Recent scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiments have provided evidence that dopant impurities in high- Tc superconductors can strongly modify the electronic structure of the CuO2 planes nearby, and possibly influence the pairing. To investigate this connection, we calculate the local magnetic superexchange J between Cu ions in the presence of dopants within the framework of the three-band Hubbard model, up to fifth-order in perturbation theory. We demonstrate that the sign of the change in J depends on the relative dopant-induced spatial variation of the atomic levels in the CuO2 plane, contrary to results obtained within the one-band Hubbard model. We discuss some realistic cases and their relevance for theories of the pairing mechanism in the cuprates

2019 PES SDG STI Forum Presentation
Taking action to combat climate change and its impact includes identifying the best strategies to ensure reliable, resilient, and cost-effective delivery of electrical power energy that will set a path to decarbonization to address climate change. Integrating renewable energy resources and energy storage, together with electrification of transportation and innovative approaches to electrifying off grid and near grid communities, are critical ingredients of any energy future. Electric energy systems, notably the electric grid, are described as one of the most complex machines ever built. They are not, however, perfect. We have seen for example the Northeast blackout of 2003 affecting over 50 million people, the blackout in India in 2012 affecting 400 million people, and many other events showing the limitations of present systems. Sometimes these outages are caused by something as immense as a hurricane or a superstorm, and sometimes by something as small as an overgrown tree. In the new abnormal of significant weather events (e.g., catastrophic wildfires, hurricanes, significant rain/snow incidents), we must take more aggressive actions to adapt to the changing climate, including grid infrastructure hardening, enhanced vegetation management, and improved grid and equipment monitoring.  As the grid continues to face these evolving challenges, as well as the potential of cyber and physical terrorism, we have the opportunity to make it better than it was before contributing to achieving the SDGs. We also need to recognize the value that the electrical grid brings as an enabler to increase penetration of renewable resources, improve resilience, provide market access for DER, increase electrification, lower market prices, and increase customer choice to enable inclusiveness and equality. What we need now is a renewed understanding of the value of not just electricity, but the grid that enables it, and recognize the contributions of energy resources like residential solar panels or energy storage to it. This side event will bring together renowned experts from the power engineering community to discuss success factors for sustainable electrical energy delivery in the context of climate change that is negatively impacting nations and their   In addition, discussing electricity development impacting  the capacity for economic growth and development and the deepening community energy exclusion and inequality. In an interactive dialogue with attendees, the panelists will address the transformative changes that are needed to current energy, infrastructure, and production systems to help ensure sustainable electrical energy.  This presentation will provide informed perspective grounded in engineering practices and real-world examples to inform practical approaches to realizing SDG 13, as well as SDG 7, that can enable inclusion and equality.

description: Basic human values represent a set of values such as security, independence, success, kindness, and pleasure, which we deem important to our lives. Each of us holds different values with different degrees of significance. Existing studies show that values of a person can be identified from their social network usage. However, the value priority of a person may change over time due to different factors such as life experiences, influence, social structure and technology. Existing studies do not conduct any analysis regarding the change of users' value from the social influence, i.e., group persuasion, form the social media usage. In our research, first, we predict users' value score by the influence of friends from their social media usage. We propose a Bounded Confidence Model (BCM) based value dynamics model from 275 different ego networks in Facebook that predicts how social influence may persuade a person to change their value over time. Then, to predict better, we use particle swarm optimization based hyperparameter tuning technique. We observe that these optimized hyperparameters produce accurate future value score. We also run our approach with different machine learning based methods and find support vector regression (SVR) outperforms other regressor models. By using SVR with the best hyperparameters of BCM model, we find the lowest Mean Squared Error (MSE) score 0.00347.

description: The enhanced spin Hall effect in Au metal due to the resonant skew scattering is studied with first-principles band structure calculations. Especially the gigantic spin Hall angle $γ_S \cong 0.1$ observed recently (T.Seki et al., Nature Materials {\bf 7}, 125 (2008)) is attributed to the orbital-dependent Kondo effect of Fe in the Au host metal, where the $t_{2g}$-orbitals are in the mixed-valence region while $e_g$-orbitals are in the Kondo limit. The enhanced spin-orbit interaction by the electron correlation in the $t_{2g}$-orbitals leads to the gigantic spin Hall effect. Impurities with 5d orbitals are also discussed.

Femtosecond closed and open aperture z-scan experiments carried out at the same excitation energy show saturation absorption and negative cubic nonlinearity. From these measurements, real and imaginary part of the third order nonlinear susceptibility are estimated to be Re($χ^{(3)}) \sim -2.2 \times 10 ^{-9} esu$ and Im($χ^{(3)}) \sim 1.1 \times 10 ^{-11} esu$.

description: Quantum criticality is the intriguing possibility offered by the laws of quantum mechanics when the wave function of a many-particle physical system is forced to evolve continuously between two distinct, competing ground states. This phenomenon, often related to a zero-temperature magnetic phase transition, can be observed in several strongly correlated materials such as heavy fermion compounds or possibly high-temperature superconductors, and is believed to govern many of their fascinating, yet still unexplained properties. In contrast to these bulk materials with very complex electronic structure, artificial nanoscale devices could offer a new and simpler vista to the comprehension of quantum phase transitions. This long-sought possibility is demonstrated by our work in a fullerene molecular junction, where gate voltage induces a crossing of singlet and triplet spin states at zero magnetic field. Electronic tunneling from metallic contacts into the $\rm{C_{60}}$ quantum dot provides here the necessary many-body correlations to observe a true quantum critical behavior.

Unambiguous definition of handedness for locally-chiral light
Creators: name: Neufeld, Ofer

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Synthetic chiral light fields were recently introduced as a novel source of chirality [Ayuso et al. Nat. Phot. 13, 866 (2019)]. This locally-chiral light spans a three-dimensional polarization that plots a chiral trajectory in space-time, leading to huge nonlinear chiral signals upon interactions with chiral media. The degree of chirality of this new form of light was defined, characterized, and shown to be proportional to the chiral signal conversion efficiency. However, the sign of the light's chirality - its 'handedness' - has not yet been defined. Standard definitions of helicity are inapplicable for locally-chiral light due to its complex three-dimensional structure. Here, we define an unambiguous handedness for locally-chiral fields and employ it in practical calculations.

Codimension Two Branes and Distributional Curvature

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In general relativity, there is a well-developed formalism for working with the approximation that a gravitational source is concentrated on a shell, or codimension one surface. By contrast, there are obstacles to concentrating sources on surfaces that have a higher codimension, for example, a string in a spacetime with dimension greater than or equal to four. Here it is shown that, by giving up some of the generality of the codimension one case, curvature can be concentrated on submanifolds that have codimension two. A class of metrics is identified such that (1) the scalar curvature and Ricci densities exist as distributions with support on a co-dimension two submanifold, and (2) using the Einstein equation, the distributional curvature corresponds to a concentrated stress-energy with equation of state p equals minus the energy density, where p is the isotropic pressure tangent to the submanifold. This is the appropriate stress-energy to describe a self-gravitating brane that is governed by an area action, or a brane world deSitter cosmology. The possibility of having a different equation of state arise from a wider class of metrics is discussed.

Constitutio e costituzione

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Urbino "Carlo Bo"
Year: 2014

description: [Constitutio and Constitution] The term ‘constitutio’, occurring for the first time in Cicero’s Republic in connection with political institutions, cannot be simply translated into ‘constitution’. Many scholars hold indeed that Rome was a “city without a constitution”. Nevertheless, magistrates, assemblies and the Senate were expected to operate on the basis of legal rules, produced by costumes, ‘constitutional conventions’ and legislation. Some of these rules were paramount principles and norms which were theoretically unchangeable. They may be considered as the real ‘constitutional Roman law’. But one has always to bear in mind that their interpretation was influenced by political contingency and depended on the ‘examples’ of the ancestors and of the major politicians of the past.

description: [Still on international legal relations in Francesco De Martino’s works] This article aims to be conducive to the appreciation of Francesco De Martino’s studies on international legal relations in ancient Rome. Many scholars, particularly in the recent past, have rightly underlined the importance and variety of De Martino’s analyses of the concept of peace and the eminent role of war, used mainly as a means of revenge. Other aspects of his studies are worth taking into consideration, specially in regard with the legal protection of foreigners, which, according to the Neapolitan law professor, was inspired by the concept of fides. Despite the fact that not all of these aspects are shared among scholars, there is not doubt that they provide essential support to the continuation of research into interstate relations in ancient times and into the development of the ius gentium.

description: According to recent arguments by the author, the conformal field theory (CFT) describing the scaling limit of the integer quantum Hall plateau transition is a deformed level-4 Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model with Riemannian target space inside a complex Lie supergroup GL. After a summary of that proposal and some of its predictions, the leading irrelevant and relevant perturbations of the proposed CFT are discussed. Argued to be marginal, these result in a non-standard renormalization group (RG) flow near criticality, which calls for modified finite-size scaling analysis and may explain the long-standing inability of numerical work to reach agreement on the values of critical exponents. The technique of operator product expansion is used to compute the RG-beta functions up to cubic order in the couplings. The mean value of the dissipative conductance at the RG-fixed point is calculated for a cylinder geometry with any aspect ratio.

description: [The Mediterranean Dimension of the European Union's External Relations after the Arab Spring] Ever since the foundation of the European Economic Community, the EU has been paying special attention to the Mediterranean dimension. The relationships with the Mediterranean neighbour countries are based rather on geopolitical than on economic reasons. They are characterized by the continuous oscillation between bilateral and multilateral instruments.
 The Barcelona Process, the European Neighbourhood Policy and the Union for the Mediterranean belong to the first category of tools. Mutual dialogue is, nonetheless, still grounded on the bilateral dimension, namely on association agreements. Due to the Arab Spring these legal instruments have been put on standby. A new approach has been introduced. The Euro-Mediterranean relations are now, as it seems, inspired by caution and pragmatism.

description: Using two Chandra observations we have derived estimates of the dust distribution and distance to the eclipsing high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) Cen X-3 using the energy-resolved dust-scattered X-ray halo. By comparing the observed X-ray halos in 200 eV bands from 2-5 keV to the halo profiles predicted by the Weingartner & Draine interstellar grain model, we find that the vast majority (about 70%) of the dust along the line of sight to the system is located within about 300 pc of the Sun, although the halo measurements are insensitive to dust very close to the source. One of the Chandra observations occurred during an egress from eclipse as the pulsar emerged from behind the mass-donating primary. By comparing model halo light curves during this transition to the halo measurements, a source distance of 5.7 +/- 1.5 kpc (68% confidence level) is estimated, although we find this result depends on the distribution of dust on very small scales. Nevertheless, this value is marginally inconsistent with the commonly accepted distance to Cen X-3 of 8 kpc. We also find that the energy scaling of the scattering optical depth predicted by the Weingartner & Draine interstellar grain model does not accurately represent the results determined by X-ray halo studies of Cen X-3. Relative to the model, there appears to be less scattering at low energies or more scattering at high energies in Cen X-3.

description: The strong suppression of bottomonia production in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is a smoking gun for the creation of a deconfined quark-gluon plasma (QGP). In this proceedings contribution, I review recent work that aims to provide a more comprehensive and systematic understanding of bottomonium dynamics in the QGP through the use of pNRQCD and an open quantum systems approach. This approach allows one to evolve the heavy-quarkonium reduced density matrix, taking into account non-unitary effective Hamiltonian evolution of the wave-function and quantum jumps between different angular momentum and color states. In the case of a strong coupled QGP in which E << T,m_D << 1/a_0, the corresponding evolution equation is Markovian and can therefore be mapped to a Lindblad evolution equation. To solve the resulting Lindblad equation, we make use of a stochastic unraveling called the quantum trajectories algorithm and couple the non-abelian quantum evolution to a realistic 3+1D viscous hydrodynamical background. Using a large number of Monte-Carlo sampled bottomonium trajectories, we make predictions for bottomonium R_AA and elliptic flow as a function of centrality and transverse momentum and compare to data collected by the ALICE, ATLAS, and CMS collaborations.

description: Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory with infinite dimensional gauge group has been suggested to describe M5-brane as a condensation of multiple M2-branes. Here we perform a topological twisting of the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory. The original SO(8) R-symmetry is broken to SO(3)XSO(5), where the former may be interpreted as a diagonal subgroup of the Euclidean M5-brane world-volume symmetry SO(6), while the latter is the isometry of the transverse five directions. Accordingly the resulting action contains an one-form and five scalars as for the bosonic dynamical fields. We further lift the action to a generic curved three manifold. In order to make sure the genuine topological invariance, we construct an off-shell formalism such that the scalar supersymmetry transformations are nilpotent strictly off-shell and independent of the metric of the three manifold. The one loop partition function around a trivial background yields the Ray-Singer torsion. The BPS equation involves an M2-brane charge density given by a Nambu-Goto action defined in an internal three-manifold.

2018 PES T&D Panel Presentation
High penetragtion of distributed energy resources (DER) in distribution systems not only introduces two-way power flows but also impacts system responses to various disturbances potentially threatening the reliability of Bulk Power System (BPS). Treating distribution systems as lumped loads is no longer sufficient to represent the impact of DER in the planning and operation of the BPS. At the same time, the advanced control capabilities of DER offer potential opportunities for improving BPS reliability when applied in a well thought-out manner. This panel will discuss the impact of high penetration DER on the BPS from various aspects, including BPS planning and operation, wholesale market participation by DER, BPS voltage, frequency, and dynamic stability. The DER modeling and interconnection standards, monitoring and control of DER will also be discussed, as well as details from the efforts of NERC's various working groups with respect to DER.

description: A robust controller is specified, and the stability bounds of the uncertain closed-loop system are determined using the small gain, circle, positive real, and Popov criteria. A graphical approach is employed in order to demonstrate the ease with which the above robustness tests can be carried out on a problem of practical interest. A significant improvement in stability bounds is observed as the analysis moves from the small gain test to the circle, positive real, and Popov tests. In particular, small gain analysis results in the most conservative robust stability bounds, while Popov analysis yields significantly less conservative bounds. This is because traditional small gain type tests allow the uncertainty to be arbitrarily time-varying, whereas Popov analysis restricts the uncertainty to be constant, real parametric uncertainty. Therefore, the results reported here indicate the conservatism associated with small gain analysis, and the effectiveness of Popov analysis, in gauging robust stability in the presence of constant, real parametric uncertainty.

High resolution radio study of the Pulsar Wind Nebula within the Supernova Remnant G0.9+0.1

description: We have conducted a radio study at 3.6, 6 and 20 cm using ATCA and VLA and reprocessed XMM-Newton and Chandra data of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) in the supernova remnant (SNR) G0.9+0.1. The new observations revealed that the morphology and symmetry suggested by Chandra observations (torus and jet-like features) are basically preserved in the radio range in spite of the rich structure observed in the radio emission of this PWN, including several arcs, bright knots, extensions and filaments. The reprocessed X-ray images show for the first time that the X-ray plasma fills almost the same volume as the radio PWN. Notably the X-ray maximum does not coincide with the radio maximum and the neutron star candidate CXOU J174722.8-280915 lies within a small depression in the radio emission. From the new radio data we have refined the flux density estimates, obtaining S(PWN) ~ 1.57 Jy, almost constant between 3.6 and 20 cm. For the whole SNR (compact core and shell), a flux density S(at 20 cm)= 11.5 Jy was estimated. Based on the new and the existing 90 cm flux density estimates, we derived alpha(PWN)=-0.18+/-0.04 and alpha(shell)=-0.68+/- 0.07. From the combination of the radio data with X-ray data, a spectral break is found near nu ~ 2.4 x 10^(12) Hz. The total radio PWN luminosity is L(radio)=1.2 x 10^(35) erg s^(-1) when a distance of 8.5 kpc is adopted. By assuming equipartition between particle and magnetic energies, we estimate a nebular magnetic field B = 56 muG. The associated particle energy turns out to be U(part)=5 x 10^(47) erg and the magnetic energy U(mag)=2 x 10^(47) erg. Based on an empirical relation between X-ray luminosity and pulsar energy loss rate, and the comparison with the calculated total energy, a lower limit of 1100 yr is derived for the age of this PWN.

description: We report first principles calculations of the phonon dispersions of PbTe both for its observed structure and under compression. At the experimental lattice parameter we find a near instability of the optic branch at the zone center, in accord with experimental observations.This hardens quickly towards the zone boundary. There is also a very strong volume dependence of this mode, which is rapidly driven away from an instability by compression. These results are discussed inrelation to the thermal conductivity of the material.

description: Plate-like single crystals of SrFe2As2 as large as 3x3x0.5 mm3 have been grown out of Sn flux. The SrFe2As2 single crystals show a structural phase transition from a high temperature tetragonal phase to a low temperature orthorhombic phase at To = 198 K, and do not show any sign of superconductivity down to 1.8 K. The structural transition is accompanied by an anomaly in the electrical resistivity, Hall resistivity, specific heat, and the anisotropic magnetic susceptibility. In an intermediate temperature range from 198 K to 160 K, single crystal X-ray diffraction suggests a coexistence of the high-temperature tetragonal and the low-temperature orthorhombic phases.
Airline - travel agent relations: an evaluation of remuneration schemes
Creators: name: Bricel, Robin John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Travel agents provide an essential range of air travel marketing services which result in large commission expenses for air carriers. Commission expenses have risen to such an extent that air transport analysts and others in Canada have openly criticized remuneration policies now in practice. They have questioned whether the travelling public is receiving a full value for the commissions which travel agents receive; they have cited rising commission expenses as evidence of economic inefficiency within the air travel marketing system. The role which the travel agent plays in the airline industry is described taking into consideration travel agents, air carriers and air passengers. Relevant background information related to the travel agent remuneration issue is presented by describing issues affecting the ability of independent agencies to provide travel services. This thesis approaches the travel agent remuneration problem using policy analysis to select a remuneration scheme which will best satisfy a select list of objectives. The objectives used in the evaluation of remuneration schemes include service objectives such as retaining travel agent impartiality, economic objectives such as implementing the "user pay" philosophy, political objectives such as avoiding obvious cross subsidization of different user groups and "regional development" objectives such as providing adequate service levels to small communities. Description of developments in issue areas including travel agent industry entry requirements, competition for market segments and the introduction of electronic reservations systems to travel agents is presented in order to better understand the likelihood of remuneration schemes achieving objectives. Three basic types of remuneration alternatives, net fare, uniform commission and incentive commission are considered. Both regulated and unregulated incentive commissions are analyzed since their impacts vary significantly. The regulated incentive commission alternative is selected as the optimal travel agent remuneration scheme. The selection of this alternative results in a compromise between the full achievement of the various objectives. Under this alternative, the benefits and costs of regulatory involvement in the setting of remuneration levels are assured.

description: Up to 98% of all single stars will eventually become white dwarfs - stars that link the history and future evolution of the Galaxy, and whose previous evolution is engraved in their interiors. Those interiors can be studied using asteroseismology, utilizing stellar pulsations as seismic waves. The pulsational instability strips of DA and DB white dwarf stars are pure, allowing the important generalization that their interior structure represents that of all DA and DB white dwarfs. This is not the case for the hottest pulsating white dwarfs, the GW Vir stars: only about 50% of white dwarfs in this domain pulsate. Several explanations for the impurity of the GW Vir instability strip have been proposed, based on different elemental abundances, metallicity, and helium content. Surprisingly, there is a dichotomy that only stars rich in nitrogen, which by itself cannot cause pulsation driving, pulsate - the only previous exception being the nitrogen-rich non-pulsator PG 1144+005. Here, we report the discovery of pulsations in PG 1144+005 based on new observations. We identified four frequency regions: 40, 55, 97, and 112 day$^{-1}$ with low and variable amplitudes of about 3-6 mmag and therefore confirm the nitrogen dichotomy. As nitrogen is a trace element revealing the previous occurrence of a very late thermal pulse (VLTP) in hot white dwarf stars, we speculate that it is this VLTP that provides the interior structure required to make a GW Vir pulsator.
