description: Shallow cores in bright, massive galaxies are commonly thought to be the result of scouring of stars by mergers of binary supermassive black holes. Past investigations have suggested correlations between the central black hole mass and the stellar light or mass deficit in the core, using proxy measurements of $M_{\rm BH}$ or stellar mass-to-light ratios ($Υ$). Drawing on a wealth of dynamical models which provide both $M_{\rm BH}$ and $Υ$, we identify cores in 23 galaxies, of which 20 have direct, reliable measurements of $M_{\rm BH}$ and dynamical stellar mass-to-light ratios ($Υ_{\star,{\rm dyn}}$). These cores are identified and measured using Core-Sérsic model fits to surface brightness profiles which extend out to large radii (typically more than the effective radius of the galaxy); for approximately one fourth of the galaxies, the best fit includes an outer (\sersic) envelope component. We find that the core radius is most strongly correlated with the black hole mass and that it correlates better with total galaxy luminosity than it does with velocity dispersion. The strong core-size-- $M_{\rm BH}$ correlation enables estimation of black hole masses (in core galaxies) with an accuracy comparable to the $M_{\rm BH}$--$σ$ relation (rms scatter of 0.30 dex in $\log M_{\rm BH}$), without the need for spectroscopy. The light and mass deficits correlate more strongly with galaxy velocity dispersion than they do with black hole mass. Stellar mass deficits span a range of 0.2--39 \mbh, with almost all (87%) being $< 10 \, M_{\rm BH}$; the median value is 2.2 $M_{\rm BH}$.

description: All of the present methods for calibration and monitoring of TOF-PET scanner detectors utilize radioactive isotopes such as e.g. $^{22}$Na or $^{68}$Ge, which are placed or rotate inside the scanner. In this article we describe a novel method based on the cosmic rays application to the PET calibration and monitoring methods. The concept allows to overcome many of the drawbacks of the present methods and it is well suited for newly developed TOF-PET scanners with a large longitudinal field of view. The method enables also monitoring of the quality of the scintillator materials and in general allows for the continuous quality assurance of the PET detector performance.

Designing useful fashion: a new conceptual model of the garment lifetime

subject: clothing practices

description: This paper considers how research into clothing lifetimes and consumer practices can be integrated into a garment lifecycle assessment model, to facilitate a reorientation of fashion design from design for sustainable products to design for the conditions of sustainability (after Fry, 1994). Drawing on the research of Payne (2011a) and Klepp (2001), a revised Garment Lifetime Diagram is proposed that segments the use phase to provide a more holistic understanding of the garment lifecycle. By making visible the detail within the phase of use, the aim is to show how designers might foster sustainable clothing use practices through the design decisions they make. In particular, how design might encourage extended garment use. The resulting diagram of a single garment lifetime challenges the popular approach to sustainability through extended use that describes garments with multiple lives (Fletcher, 2008). Arguably, defining the garment lifetime as ownership, reinforces what has been criticised as the inherently anthropocentric viewpoint of sustainable development (Fry, 2009). Instead, the notion of ‘custody’ emerges to describe temporary possession of a living garment.

description: We calculate the quantum Cramér--Rao bound for the sensitivity with which one or several parameters, encoded in a general single-mode Gaussian state, can be estimated. This includes in particular the interesting case of mixed Gaussian states. We apply the formula to the problems of estimating phase, purity, loss, amplitude, and squeezing. In the case of the simultaneous measurement of several parameters, we provide the full quantum Fisher information matrix. Our results unify previously known partial results, and constitute a complete solution to the problem of knowing the best possible sensitivity of measurements based on a single-mode Gaussian state.

description: This work reports a fully guided setup for single-mode squeezing generation on integrated titanium-indiffused periodically poled nonlinear resonators. A continuous wave laser beam is delivered and the squeezed field is collected by single-mode fibers, where up to -3.17(9) dB of useful squeezing is available in fibers. To showcase the usefulness of such a fiber-coupled device, we applied the generated squeezed light in a fiber-based phase sensing experiment, showing a quantum enhancement in the signal-to-noise ratio of 0.35 dB. Moreover, our investigation of photorefraction's impact on the cavity resonance condition suggests that it causes system instabilities at high powers.
Chevron's Sliding Scale in Wyeth v. Levine, 129 S. Ct. 1187 (2009)

description: In Wyeth v. Levine the Supreme Court once again failed to reconcile the interpretive presumption against preemption with the sometimes competing Chevron doctrine of deference to agencies' reasonable statutory interpretations. Rather than resolve the issue of which principle should govern where the two principles point toward opposite results, the Court continued its recent practice of applying both principles halfheartedly, carving exceptions, and giving neither its proper weight. This analysis situates Wyeth within the larger framework of the Court's recent preemption decisions in an effort to explain the Court's hesitancy to resolve the conflict. The analysis concludes that the Court, motivated by its strong respect for congressional intent and concern to protect federalism, applies both the presumption against preemption and the Chevron doctrine on a sliding scale. Where congressional intent to preempt is clear and vague only as to scope, the Court is usually quite deferential to agency determinations, but where congressional preemptive intent is unclear, agency views are accorded less weight. The Court's variable approach to deference is defensible as necessary to prevent unauthorized incursion into areas of traditional state sovereignty, but its inherent unpredictability sows confusion among regulated parties, and the need for flexibility prevents the Court from adopting any of the more predictable across-the-board approaches to deference proposed by the Court's critics. A superior approach would combine the Court's concern for federalism with the certainty of a bright-line rule by granting deference to agency views where Congress has spoken via a preemption clause of ambiguous scope and no deference where Congress has remained silent.

description: In ordinary situations involving a small part of the universe, Born's rule seems to work well for calculating probabilities of observations in quantum theory. However, there are a number of reasons for believing that it is not adequate for many cosmological purposes. Here a number of possible generalizations of Born's rule are discussed, explaining why they are consistent with the present statistical support for Born's rule in ordinary situations but can help solve various cosmological problems.

description: A two-step, two-color laser spectroscopy technique has been used to measure the hyperfine splitting of the 7p$_{1/2}$ excited state in $^{203}$Tl and $^{205}$Tl, as well as the isotope shift within the 7s$_{1/2}$ - 7p$_{1/2}$ transition. Our measured values for the hyperfine splittings, 2153.2(7) MHz (in $^{203}$Tl) and 2173.3(8) MHz (in $^{205}$Tl), each differ by 20 MHz from previously published values which quoted comparable precision. The transition isotope shift of $^{203}$Tl relative to $^{205}$Tl was measured to be 534.4(9) MHz. In our experiment, one laser was locked to the thallium ground-state 6p$_{1/2}$ - 7s$_{1/2}$ 378 nm transition, while the second, spatially overlapping laser was scanned across the 7s$_{1/2}$(F=1) - 7p$_{1/2}$(F=0,1) hyperfine transitions. To facilitate accurate frequency calibration, radio-frequency modulation of the laser was used to create sidebands in the absorption spectrum.

description: Aerial operation in turbulent environments is a challenging problem due to the chaotic behavior of the flow. This problem is made even more complex when a team of aerial robots is trying to achieve coordinated motion in turbulent wind conditions. In this paper, we present a novel multi-robot controller to navigate in turbulent flows, decoupling the trajectory-tracking control from the turbulence compensation via a nested control architecture. Unlike previous works, our method does not learn to compensate for the air-flow at a specific time and space. Instead, our method learns to compensate for the flow based on its effect on the team. This is made possible via a deep reinforcement learning approach, implemented via a Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCNN)-based architecture, which enables robots to achieve better wind compensation by processing the spatial-temporal correlation of wind flows across the team. Our approach scales well to large robot teams -- as each robot only uses information from its nearest neighbors -- , and generalizes well to robot teams larger than seen in training. Simulated experiments demonstrate how information sharing improves turbulence compensation in a team of aerial robots and demonstrate the flexibility of our method over different team configurations.

description: Electric dipole moments are extremely sensitive probes for additional sources of CP violation in new physics models. Specifically, they have been argued in the past to exclude new CP-violating phases in two-Higgs-doublet models. Since recently models including such phases have been discussed widely, we revisit the available constraints in the presence of mechanisms which are typically invoked to evade flavour-changing neutral currents. To that aim, we start by assessing the necessary calculations on the hadronic, nuclear and atomic/molecular level, deriving expressions with conservative error estimates. Their phenomenological analysis in the context of two-Higgs-doublet models yields strong constraints, in some cases weakened by a cancellation mechanism among contributions from neutral scalars. While the corresponding parameter combinations do not yet have to be unnaturally small, the constraints are likely to preclude large effects in other CP-violating observables. Nevertheless, the generically expected contributions to electric dipole moments in this class of models lie within the projected sensitivity of the next-generation experiments.

description: In this work, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the twisted mean square of a Dirichlet $L$-function with a longer mollifier, whose coefficients are also more general than before. As an application we obtain that, for every Dirichlet $L$-function, more than 41.72\% of zeros are on the critical line and more than 40.74\% of zeros are simple and on the critical line. These proportions also improve previous results which were proved only for the Riemann zeta-function.

description: We present an alternative finite-size approach to a set of parity conserving interfaces involving attachment, dissociation, and detachment of extended objects in 1+1 dimensions. With the aid of a nonlocal construct introduced by Barma and Dhar in related systems [Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 2135 (1994)], we circumvent the subdiffusive dynamics and examine close-to-equilibrium aspects of these interfaces by assembling states of much smaller, numerically accessible scales. As a result, roughening exponents, height correlations, and width distributions exhibiting universal scaling functions are evaluated for interfaces virtually grown out of dimers and trimers on large-scale substrates. Dynamic exponents are also studied by finite-size scaling of the spectrum gaps of evolution operators.

description: We define the slope of a colored link in an integral homology sphere, associated to admissible characters on the link group. Away from a certain singular locus, the slope is a rational function which can be regarded as a multivariate generalization of the Kojima--Yamasaki $η$-function. It is the ratio of two Conway potentials, provided that the latter makes sense; otherwise, it is a new invariant. The slope is responsible for an extra correction term in the signature formula for the splice of two links, in the previously open exceptional case where both characters are admissible. Using a similar construction for a special class of tangles, we formulate generalized skein relations for the signature.

description: In this study, district Mansehra, Pakistan was chosen as the study area. The main objectives of this research areto assess the extent and the changes in the rate of deforestation in Mansehra since past 20 years. It also examinethe impacts of deforestation on the Climate by establishing and mapping the magnitude and rates of land coverchanges that had occurred in the study area. Landsat satellite images were taken as secondary data and they wereforemost for the classification process. Remote sensing data together with GIS techniques have made itconceivable to display and oversee remotely detected information in various scales. The images taken forclassification are Landsat 5 TM for the year 1998 and 2008 and from Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS TM for the year 2017.Climatic data from 1988 to 2017 was collected from Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) of MansehraDistrict. The Forest Cover was 14% (601 Sq. Km) in 1998, 15% (668 Sq. Km) in 2008 and 5% (194 Sq. Km) in2017. Taking everything together, anyway the results exhibit that some land cover types experienced extendingrates and sizes of changes however in the others the inverse is legitimate, results revealed that the size and therates of land cover changes for forest areas experienced an exceptional fluctuations in these 20 years. Maximumtemperature of Mansehra increased at an alarming rate from 25.82°C in 1988 and 24.8°C in 1998 to 25.667°C in2008 and 27.304°C in 2016 and 26.739°C in the year 2017. Mean minimum temperature showed fluctuation of1° during these 30 years. In some years mean minimum temperature showed decrease from 12° to 11° and thischange is not confined to a specific year. The rainfall was 5.129mm in 1988 and then rainfall increased from 3.6mm in the year 1998 when there was 14% forest Cover to 4.8mm in 2008 when there was 15% Forest Cover butdeclined to 2.9mm in the year 2017 when there was only 5% forest left in Mansehra.

description: The Chinese language has evolved a lot during the long-term development. Therefore, native speakers now have trouble in reading sentences written in ancient Chinese. In this paper, we propose to build an end-to-end neural model to automatically translate between ancient and contemporary Chinese. However, the existing ancient-contemporary Chinese parallel corpora are not aligned at the sentence level and sentence-aligned corpora are limited, which makes it difficult to train the model. To build the sentence level parallel training data for the model, we propose an unsupervised algorithm that constructs sentence-aligned ancient-contemporary pairs by using the fact that the aligned sentence pair shares many of the tokens. Based on the aligned corpus, we propose an end-to-end neural model with copying mechanism and local attention to translate between ancient and contemporary Chinese. Experiments show that the proposed unsupervised algorithm achieves 99.4% F1 score for sentence alignment, and the translation model achieves 26.95 BLEU from ancient to contemporary, and 36.34 BLEU from contemporary to ancient.

description: It is shown that it is possible to consistently and gauge invariantly formulate models where the coupling constant is a non trivial function of a scalar field . In the $U(1)$ case the coupling to the gauge field contains a term of the form $g(ϕ)j_μ(A^μ +\partial^μB)$ where $B$ is an auxiliary field and $j_μ$ is the Dirac current. The scalar field $ϕ$ determines the local value of the coupling of the gauge field to the Dirac particle. The consistency of the equations determine the condition $\partial^μϕj_μ= 0$ which implies that the Dirac current cannot have a component in the direction of the gradient of the scalar field. As a consequence, if $ϕ$ has a soliton behaviour, like defining a bubble that connects two vacuua, we obtain that the Dirac current cannot have a flux through the wall of the bubble, defining a confinement mechanism where the fermions are kept inside those bags. Consistent models with time dependent fine structure constant can be also constructed

description: We report a simulation of the metal-insulator transition in a model of a doped semiconductor that treats disorder and interactions on an equal footing. The model is analyzed using density functional theory. From a multi-fractal analysis of the Kohn-Sham eigenfunctions, we find $ν\approx 1.3$ for the critical exponent of the correlation length. This differs from that of Anderson's model of localization and suggests that the Coulomb interaction changes the universality class of the transition.

description: Michael Gordon was a pioneer in the field of interactive theorem proving and hardware verification. In the 1970s, he had the vision of formally verifying system designs, proving their correctness using mathematics and logic. He demonstrated his ideas on real-world computer designs. His students extended the work to such diverse areas as the verification of floating-point algorithms, the verification of probabilistic algorithms and the verified translation of source code to correct machine code. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1994, and he continued to produce outstanding research until retirement. His achievements include his work at Edinburgh University helping to create Edinburgh LCF, the first interactive theorem prover of its kind, and the ML family of functional programming languages. He adopted higher-order logic as a general formalism for verification, showing that it could specify hardware designs from the gate level right up to the processor level. It turned out to be an ideal formalism for many problems in computer science and mathematics. His tools and techniques have exerted a huge influence across the field of formal verification.

title: A critique of the concept of autonomy in organ donation
Creators: name: Consolo, Henrietta Katherine
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: The legal requirement for consent or authorization for the use of an organ for transplantation places donor autonomy as the prima facie ethical principle underpinning organ procurement in the UK. Donor autonomy is central to the ethical discourse of transplantation yet this concept remains poorly articulated in the legal and regulatory framework governing organ donation where it is framed narrowly in terms of consent or authorisation. I analyse the legal framework governing living and deceased organ donation in England, Scotland, and Wales and the regulatory processes for the approval of application for living organ donation and seek to identify whether these are consistent with a particular understanding of autonomy. I consider the adult donor and the child donor separately. I maintain that the choice to donate an organ is a deeply personal decision based on motivations and values that matter to the donor. I explore the understanding of autonomy in relation to decisions to donate an organ for transplantation from the perspective of the person whose organs are used. I am concerned with a substantive account of autonomy that goes beyond the decisional authority over the use of one’s organs. Starting from this premise, I examine the role of self-reflection, personal values and relationships, and moral responsibilities and commitments in decisions to donate an organ and focus on the idea of authenticity understood as a choice that the donor endorses as their own. I argue that consent or authorization that is lawful from a procedural perspective does not ensure that the decisions of the person whose organs are used for transplantation are respected and does not require that these choices are based on a decision-making process that engages with personal autonomy in a meaningful way.

description: We construct a new representation of the infinite rank Lie algebra $a_{\infty}$ with central charge $c=1$ on the Fock space $\mathit{F^{\otimes \frac{1}{2}}}$ of a single neutral fermion. We show that $\mathit{F^{\otimes \frac{1}{2}}}$ is a direct sum of irreducible integrable highest weight modules for $a_{\infty}$ with central charge $c=1$. We prove that as $a_{\infty}$ modules $\mathit{F^{\otimes \frac{1}{2}}}$ is isomorphic to the Fock space $\mathit{F^{\otimes 1}}$ of the charged free fermions. As a corollary we obtain the decompositions of certain irreducible highest weight modules for $d_{\infty}$ with central charge $c=\frac{1}{2}$ into irreducible highest weight modules for $d_{\infty}$ with central charge $c=1$.

Solving Novel Program Synthesis Problems with Genetic Programming using Parametric Polymorphism

description: Contemporary genetic programming (GP) systems for general program synthesis have been primarily concerned with evolving programs that can manipulate values from a standard set of primitive data types and simple indexed data structures. In contrast, human programmers do not limit themselves to a small finite set of data types and use polymorphism to express an unbounded number of types including nested data structures, product types, and generic functions. Code-building Genetic Programming (CBGP) is a recently introduced method that compiles type-safe programs from linear genomes using stack-based compilation and a formal type system. Although prior work with CBGP has shown initial demonstrations of polymorphism inside evolved programs, we have provided a deeper exploration of these capabilities through the evolution of programs which make use of generic data types such as key-value maps, tuples, and sets, as well as higher order functions and functions with polymorphic type signatures. In our experiments, CBGP is able to solve problems with all of these properties, where every other GP system that we know of has restrictions that make it unable to even consider problems with these properties. This demonstration provides a significant step towards fully aligning the expressiveness of GP to real world programming.

description: We investigate level-set percolation of the discrete Gaussian free field on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 3$, in the strongly percolative regime. We consider the event that the level-set of the Gaussian free field below a level $α$ disconnects the discrete blow-up of a compact set $A$ from the boundary of an enclosing box. We derive asymptotic large deviation upper bounds on the probability that the local averages of the Gaussian free field deviate from a specific multiple of the harmonic potential of $A$, when disconnection occurs. These bounds, combined with the findings of the recent article [12], show that conditionally on disconnection, the Gaussian free field experiences an entropic push-down proportional to the harmonic potential of $A$. In particular, due to the slow decay of correlations, the disconnection event affects the field on the whole lattice. Furthermore, we provide a certain 'profile' description for the field in the presence of disconnection. We show that while on a macroscopic scale the field is pinned around a level proportional to the harmonic potential of $A$, it locally retains the structure of a Gaussian free field shifted by a constant value. Our proofs rely crucially on the 'solidification estimates' developed in arXiv:1706.07229 by A.-S. Sznitman and the second author.

description: The existence of a quantum bounce in isotropic spacetimes is a key result in loop quantum cosmology (LQC), which has been demonstrated to arise in all the models studied so far. In most of the models, the bounce has been studied using numerical simulations involving states which are sharply peaked and which bounce at volumes much larger than the Planck volume. An important issue is to confirm the existence of the bounce for states which have a wide spread, or which bounce closer to the Planck volume. Numerical simulations with such states demand large computational domains, making them very expensive and practically infeasible with the techniques which have been implemented so far. To overcome these difficulties, we present an efficient hybrid numerical scheme using the property that at the small spacetime curvature, the quantum Hamiltonian constraint in LQC, which is a difference equation with uniform discretization in volume, can be approximated by a Wheeler-DeWitt differential equation. By carefully choosing a hybrid spatial grid allowing the use of partial differential equations at large volumes, and with a simple change of geometrical coordinate, we obtain a surprising reduction in the computational cost. This scheme enables us to explore regimes which were so far unachievable for the isotropic model in LQC. Our approach also promises to significantly reduce the computational cost for numerical simulations in anisotropic LQC using high performance computing.
