description: Binary star DataBase (BDB) is the database of binary/multiple systems of various observational types. BDB contains data on physical and positional parameters of 260,000 components of 120,000 stellar systems of multiplicity 2 to more than 20, taken from a large variety of published catalogues and databases. We describe the new features in organization of the database, integration of new catalogues and implementation of new possibilities available to users. The development of the BDB index-catalogue, Identification List of Binaries (ILB), is discussed. This star catalogue provides cross-referencing between most popular catalogues of binary stars.

description: Discovery of only handful of exoplanets required to establish a correlation between giant planet occurrence and metallicity of their host stars. More than 20 years have already passed from that discovery, however, many questions are still under lively debate: What is the origin of that relation? what is the exact functional form of the giant planet -- metallicity relation (in the metal-poor regime)?, does such a relation exist for terrestrial planets? All these question are very important for our understanding of the formation and evolution of (exo)planets of different types around different types of stars and are subject of the present manuscript. Besides making a comprehensive literature review about the role of metallicity on the formation of exoplanets, I also revisited most of the planet -- metallicity related correlations reported in the literature using a large and homogeneous data provided by the SWEET-Cat catalog. This study lead to several new results and conclusions, two of which I believe deserve to be highlighted in the abstract: i) The hosts of sub-Jupiter mass planets ($\sim$0.6 -- 0.9~M$_{\jupiter}$) are systematically less metallic than the hosts of Jupiter-mass planets. This result might be related to the longer disk lifetime and higher amount of planet building materials available at high metallicities, which allow a formation of more massive Jupiter-like planets. ii) Contrary to the previous claims, our data and results do not support the existence of a breakpoint planetary mass at 4~M$_{\jupiter}$ above and below which planet formation channels are different. However, the results also suggest that planets of the same (high) mass can be formed through different channels depending on the (disk) stellar mass i.e. environmental conditions.

description: We study exact active learning of binary and multiclass classifiers with margin. Given an n-point set X⊂Rm, we want to learn an unknown classifier on X whose classes have finite strong convex hull margin, a new notion extending the SVM margin. In the standard active learning setting, where only label queries are allowed, learning a classifier with strong convex hull margin γ requires in the worst case Ω(1+1γ)m−12 queries. On the other hand, using the more powerful \emph{seed} queries (a variant of equivalence queries), the target classifier could be learned in O(mlogn) queries via Littlestone's Halving algorithm; however, Halving is computationally inefficient. In this work we show that, by carefully combining the two types of queries, a binary classifier can be learned in time poly(n+m) using only O(m2logn) label queries and O(mlogmγ) seed queries; the result extends to k-class classifiers at the price of a k!k2 multiplicative overhead. Similar results hold when the input points have bounded bit complexity, or when only one class has strong convex hull margin against the rest. We complement the upper bounds by showing that in the worst case any algorithm needs Ω(kmlog1γ) seed and label queries to learn a k-class classifier with strong convex hull margin γ.

description: ABSTRACTObesity has not only been associated with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases but also with many musculoskeletal disorders such as knee osteoarthritis. Studies exploring the effects of obesity on gait have resulted in many inconclusive/contradicting findings. The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of severe obesity on 1) preferred walking speed (PWS), 2) spatiotemporal characteristics and 3D knee kinematics of walking at the PWS and a standard fast speed (6 kmꞏh-1). Eight healthy male adults (four severely obese and four normal-weight (NW) aged 19 to 33 years volunteered for the study. A 3D analysis was done using a motion capture and analysis system (OptiTrack Prime 17W, NaturalPoint Inc, USA). Furthermore, a personalized MATLAB program was used to process data. t-tests were used to test for group differences in age and height and PWS. A two-way analyses of variance tested the effect of speed and group on all gait variables. Results showed no differences in PWS between groups, however obese participants presented a significantly different spatiotemporal organization of gait as well as higher variability of most spatiotemporal variables compared to normal weight participants. Knee peak joint angles in the three planes of motion at stance and swing were analyzed and significantly higher values were found for the obese group in the peak knee abduction at stance and external rotation at swing, compared to NW. Differences were mostly pronounced for obese participants in relation to the general organization and control of gait, with some changes noted at the peak knee joint angle for this young sample. Obese participants displayed less overall dynamic stability (e.g., higher CoM displacement variability) and less control over their gait. It is recommended to complement this analysis with a larger sample size to get better insights on mechanisms underlying the development of OA. Furthermore, obese individuals might benefit from knee stabilization exercises to counteract the underlying medio-lateral instability and to improve gait dynamic balance.

description: Attention has been recently drawn towards models in which inflation and quintessence schemes are unified. In such `quintessential inflation' models, a unique scalar field is required to play both the role of the inflaton and of the late-time dynamical cosmological constant. We address the issue of the initial conditions for quintessence in this context and find that, in the two explicit examples provided, inflation can uniquely fix them to be in the allowed range for a present day tracking.

At special conditions, found in the present work, these patterns exhibit novel chess-board-like spatio-temporal structures which can be observed as the outcome of collision of two breathers. The infinitely extended chess-board-like patterns correspond to the continuous spectrum bands of the NLSE theory. More complicated patterns can be observed when the initial condition contains several localised periodic swells. These patterns can be observed in a variety of physical situations ranging from optics and hydrodynamics to Bose-Einstein condensates and plasma.

description: We report the magnetic-field dependence of the irreversible magnetization of the recently discovered binary superconductor MgB$_{2}$. For the temperature region of $T< 0.9T_c$, the contribution of the bulk pinning to the magnetization overwhelms that of the surface pinning. This was evident from the fact that the magnetization curves, $M(H)$, were well described by the critical-state model without considering the surface pinning effect. It was also found that the $M(H)$ curves at various temperatures scaled when the field and the magnetization were normalized by the characteristic scaling factors $H^\ast(T)$ and $M^\ast(T)$, respectively. This feature suggests that the pinning mechanism determining the hysteresis in $M(H)$ is unique below $T=T_c$.

A dataset consisting of news articles written in Albanian has been constructed for this purpose. We noticed a considerable decrease of accuracy when using test documents that miss the Albanian alphabet letters " Ë " and " Ç " and created a custom training corpus that solved this problem by achieving an accuracy of more than 99%. Based on our experiments, the most performing language identification methods for Albanian use a naïve Bayes classifier and n-gram based classification features.

description: We discuss models in which the smallness of the effective vacuum energy density $ρ_Ł$ and the coincidence of the time of its dominance $t_Ł$ with the epoch of galaxy formation $t_G$ are due to anthropic selection effects. In such models, the probability distribution for $ρ_Ł$ is a product of an {\it a priori} distribution ${\cal P}_*(ρ_Ł)$ and of the number density of galaxies at a given $ρ_Ł$ (which is proportional to the number of observers who will detect that value of $ρ_Ł$). To determine ${\cal P}_*$, we consider inflationary models in which the role of the vacuum energy is played by a slowly-varying potential of some scalar field. We show that the resulting distribution depends on the shape of the potential and generally has a non-trivial dependence on $ρ_Ł$, even in the narrow anthropically allowed range. This is contrary to Weinberg's earlier conjecture that the {\it a priori} distribution should be nearly flat in the range of interest. We calculate the (final) probability distributions for $ρ_Ł$ and for $t_G/t_Ł$ in simple models with power-law potentials. For some of these models, the agreement with the observationally suggested values of $ρ_Ł$ is better than with a flat {\it a priori} distribution. We also discuss quantum-cosmological approach in which $ρ_Ł$ takes different values in different disconnected universes and argue that Weinberg's conjecture is not valid in this case as well. Finally, we extend our analysis to models of quintessence, with similar conclusions.

description: We re-examine the effect of electron-electron interactions on the persistent current in mesoscopic metal rings threaded by an Aharonov-Bohm flux. The exchange contribution to the current is shown to be determined by the weak localization correction to the polarization. We explicitly calculate the contribution from exchange interactions with momentum transfers smaller than the inverse elastic mean free path to the average current, and find that it has the same order of magnitude as the {\it{canonical}} current without interactions. \\

description: The intensity of a monochromatic X-ray beam decreases exponentially with the distance it has traveled inside a material; this behavior is commonly referred to as Beer-Lambert's law. Knowledge of the material-specific attenuation coefficient $μ$ allows to determine the thickness of a sample from the intensity decrease the beam has experienced. However, classical X-ray tubes emit a polychromatic bremsstrahlung-spectrum. And the attenuation coefficients of all materials depend on the photon energy: photons with high energy are attenuated less than photons with low energy. In consequence, the X-ray spectrum changes while traveling through the medium; due to the relative increase of high energy photons this effect is called beam hardening. For this varying spectrum, the Beer-Lambert law only remains valid if $μ$ is replaced by an \textit{effective} attenuation coefficient $μ_\text{eff}$ which depends not only on the material, but also its thickness $x$ and the details of the X-ray setup used. We present here a way to deduce $μ_\text{eff}(x)$ from a small number of auxiliary measurements using a phenomenological model. This model can then be used to determine an unknown material thickness or in the case of a granular media its volume fraction.

description: Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety effectiveness of cable barrier systems installation on rural highway sections in British Columbia, Canada. Methods: Data on police-attended serious collisions (injury + fatality) on a number of rural highway sections in British Columbia, Canada, were used in the analysis. An empirical Bayes (EB) approach was employed to ensure that the evaluation results were reliable and to account for the regression to the mean artifact. Safety performance functions (SPFs) were developed using data collected at similar sites. For both median cable barrier (MCB) and roadside cable barrier (RCB) sections, the evaluation was undertaken using all serious collisions, truck serious collisions, and off-road serious collisions. Results: For MCB sections, the evaluation results showed statistically significant reductions of 21.7, 53.8, and 34.8% in all serious collisions, truck serious collisions, and off-road left (ORL) combined with head-on (HO) serious collisions. For RCB sections, statistically significant reductions of 74.7, 100, and 100% were found in all serious collisions, truck serious collisions, and off-road right (ORR) serious collisions, respectively. The impact of the after period on the evaluation results was explored. It was found that the changes in safety become more stable using an after period of 2–5 years. Conclusions: Cable barriers were successful in reducing the frequency of serious collisions on provincial highways in British Columbia.

description: This work reports the functioning of a single atom energy-conversion device, operating either as a quantum engine or a refrigerator, coupled to a quantum load. The "working fluid" is comprised of two optical levels of a single ion, and the load is one vibrational mode of the same ion cooled down to the quantum regime. The energy scales of these two modes differ by 9 orders of magnitude. We realize cyclic energy transfers between the working fluid and the quantum load, either increasing or decreasing the population of the vibrational mode. This is achieved albeit the interaction between the load and the working fluid leads to a significant population redistribution and quantum correlations between them. The performance of the engine cycles as a function of several parameters is examined, and found to be in agreement with theory. We specifically look at the ergotropy of the load, which indicates the amount of energy stored in the load that can be extracted with a unitary process. We show that ergotropy rises with the number of engine cycles despite an increase in the entropy of the load. Our experiment represents the first fully quantum 4-stroke energy-conversion device operating with a generic coupling to a quantum load.

description: Low-capacitance Josephson junction systems as well as coupled quantum dots, in a parameter range where single charges can be controlled, provide physical realizations of quantum bits, discussed in connection with quantum computing. The necessary manipulation of the quantum states can be controlled by applied gate voltages. In addition, the state of the system has to be read out. Here we suggest to measure the quantum state by coupling a single-electron transistor to the q-bit. As long as no transport voltage is applied, the transistor influences the quantum dynamics of the q-bit only weakly. We have analyzed the time evolution of the density matrix of the transistor and q-bit when a voltage is turned on. For values of the capacitances and temperatures which can be realized by modern nano-techniques the process constitutes a quantum measurement process.

description: The fitness of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is thought to be an important determinant of a strain’s ability to be transmitted. Studies in the laboratory have demonstrated that MDR-TB strains have reduced fitness but the relative transmissibility of MDR-TB versus drug-susceptible (DS) TB strains in human populations remains unresolved. We used data on genomic clustering from our previous molecular epidemiological study in Songjiang (2011-2020) and Wusheng (2009-2020), China, to compare the relative transmissibility of MDR-TB versus DS-TB. Genomic clusters were defined with a threshold distance of 12-single-nucleotide-polymorphisms and the risk for MDR-TB clustering was analyzed by logistic regression. In total, 2212 culture-positive pulmonary TB patients were enrolled in Songjiang and 1289 in Wusheng. The clustering rates of MDR-TB and DS-TB strains were 19.4% (20/103) and 26.3% (509/1936), respectively in Songjiang, and 43.9% (29/66) and 26.0% (293/1128) in Wusheng. The risk of MDR-TB clustering was 2.34 (95% CI 1.38-3.94) times higher than DS-TB clustering in Wusheng and 0.64 (95% CI 0.38-1.06) times lower in Songjiang. Neither lineage 2, compensatory mutations nor rpoB S450L were significantly associated with MDR-TB transmission, and katG S315 T increased MDR-TB transmission only in Wusheng (OR 5.28, 95% CI 1.42-19.21). MDR-TB was not more transmissible than DS-TB in either Songjiang or Wusheng. It appears that the different transmissibility of MDR-TB in Songjiang and Wusheng is likely due to differences in the quality of the local TB control programmes. Suggesting that the most effective way to control MDR-TB is by improving local TB control programmes.

description: Software systems often leverage on open source software libraries to reuse functionalities. Such libraries are readily available through software package managers like npm for JavaScript. Due to the huge amount of packages available in such package distributions, developers often decide to rely on or contribute to a software package based on its popularity. Moreover, it is a common practice for researchers to depend on popularity metrics for data sampling and choosing the right candidates for their studies. However, the meaning of popularity is relative and can be defined and measured in a diversity of ways, that might produce different outcomes even when considered for the same studies. In this paper, we show evidence of how different is the meaning of popularity in software engineering research. Moreover, we empirically analyse the relationship between different software popularity measures. As a case study, for a large dataset of 175k npm packages, we computed and extracted 9 different popularity metrics from three open source tracking systems: libraries.io, npmjs.com and GitHub. We found that indeed popularity can be measured with different unrelated metrics, each metric can be defined within a specific context. This indicates a need for a generic framework that would use a portfolio of popularity metrics drawing from different concepts.

For the special case q=2 the curvature reduces to an already known result for the one dimensional Ising model. The Gaussian curvature is also calculated for a general ferro-magnet near its critical point, generalising a previous result for t>0. The general expression near a critical point is compared with the specific case of the Bethe lattice and a subtlety, associated with the fact that the specific heat exponent for the Bethe lattice vanishes, is resolved.

description: When deposited on a hot bath, volatile drops are observed to stay in levitation: the so-called Leidenfrost effect. Here, we discuss drop dynamics in an inverse Leidenfrost situation where room-temperature drops are deposited on a liquid nitrogen pool, and levitate on a vapor film generated by evaporation of the bath. In the seconds following deposition, we observe that the droplets start to glide on the bath along a straight path, only disrupted by elastic bouncing close to the edges of the container. Initially at rest, these self-propelled drops accelerate within a few seconds and reach velocities on the order of a few cm/s before slowing down on a longer time scale. They remain self-propelled as long as they are sitting on the bath, even after freezing and cooling down to liquid nitrogen temperature. We experimentally investigate the parameters that affect liquid motion, and propose a model, based on the experimentally and numerically observed (stable) symmetry breaking within the vapor film that supports the drop. When also the film thickness and the cooling dynamics of the drops are modeled, the variations of the drop velocities can be accurately reproduced.

description: We evaluate the scattering functions of a gas of spin-polarized, non-interacting fermions confined in a quasi-onedimensional harmonic trap at zero temperature. The main focus is on the inelastic scattering spectrum and on the angular distribution of scattered light from a mesoscopic atomic cloud as probes of its discrete quantum levels and of its shell structure in this restricted geometry. The dynamic structure factor is calculated and compared with the results of a local-density approximation exploiting the spectrum of a one-dimensional homogeneous Fermi gas. The elastic and inelastic contributions to the static structure factor are separately evaluated: the inelastic term becomes dominant as the momentum transfer increases, masking a small peak at twice the Fermi momentum in the elastic term but still reflecting the discrete quantum levels of the cloud. A fast and accurate numerical method is developed to evaluate the full pair distribution function for mesoscopic inhomogeneous clouds.

description: The fitness of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is thought to be an important determinant of a strain’s ability to be transmitted and cause outbreaks. Studies in the laboratory have demonstrated that MDR-TB strains have reduced fitness but the relative transmissibility of MDR-TB versus drug-susceptible (DS) TB strains in human populations remains unresolved. We used data on genomic clustering from our previous molecular epidemiological study in Songjiang (2011-2020) and Wusheng (2009-2020), China, to compare the relative transmissibility of MDR-TB versus DS-TB. Genomic clusters were defined with a threshold distance of 12-single-nucleotide-polymorphisms and the risk for MDR-TB clustering was analyzed by logistic regression. In total, 2212 culture-positive pulmonary TB patients were enrolled in Songjiang and 1289 in Wusheng. The clustering rates of MDR-TB and DS-TB strains were 19.4% (20/103) and 26.3% (509/1936), respectively in Songjiang, and 43.9% (29/66) and 26.0% (293/1128) in Wusheng. The risk of MDR-TB clustering was 2.34 (95% CI 1.38-3.94) times higher than DS-TB clustering in Wusheng and 0.64 (95% CI 0.38-1.06) times lower in Songjiang. Neither lineage 2, compensatory mutations nor rpoB S450L were significantly associated with MDR-TB transmission, and katG S315T increased MDR-TB transmission only in Wusheng (OR 5.28, 95% CI 1.42-19.21). MDR-TB was not more transmissible than DS-TB in either Songjiang or Wusheng. It appears that the different transmissibility of MDR-TB in Songjiang and Wusheng is likely due to differences in the quality of the local TB control programs. These results suggest that the most effective way to control MDR-TB is by improving local TB control programs.

Discrete-Event Simulation
Product development

description: Digital Twin (DT) is a growing topic within the manufacturing industry. Moreover, early adoption of a Digital Twin is believed to benefit the rest of the product’s life cycle, like production, maintenance, and recycling. As the physical counterpart of the product is built only in the prototyping phase, this step is thought to be the first phase of a Digital Twin. Still, it necessitates preparation to reduce time-to-market and hence the development costs. This paper shows the result of a Digital Twin preparation before the implementation on the prototype. This consists of creating a Digital Twin from the prototype of a complex logistic plant with a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) tool, and a dummy Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPCUA) server communicating with each other. The methodology used is described with the use case of a logistic system simulated with an OPCUA Server on a Raspberry Pi. Although this work is specific to a particular use case, other researches may profit from the methodology applied and the experiences gathered for implementing a Digital Twin in the early phases of product development.

description: The temperature dependences of the galvanomagnetic and thermoelectric transport coefficients within a generic hot-spot model are reconsidered. Despite the recent success in explaining ac Hall effect data in YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7}, a general feature of this model is a departure from the approximately universal temperature dependences observed for normal state transport in the optimally doped cuprates. In this paper, we discuss such systematic deviations and illustrate some of their effects through a concrete numerical example using the calculated band structure for YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7}.

description: We investigate the role of a transverse field on the Ising square antiferromagnet with first-($J_1$) and second-($J_2$) neighbor interactions. Using a cluster mean-field approach, we provide a telltale characterization of the frustration effects on the phase boundaries and entropy accumulation process emerging from the interplay between quantum and thermal fluctuations. We found that the paramagnetic (PM) and antiferromagnetic phases are separated by continuous phase transitions. On the other hand, continuous and discontinuous phase transitions, as well as tricriticality, are observed in the phase boundaries between PM and superantiferromagnetic phases. A rich scenario arises when a discontinuous phase transition occurs in the classical limit while quantum fluctuations recover criticality. We also find that the entropy accumulation process predicted to occur at temperatures close to the quantum critical point can be enhanced by frustration. Our results provide a description for the phase boundaries and entropy behavior that can help to identify the ratio $J_2/J_1$ in possible experimental realizations of the quantum $J_1$-$J_2$ Ising antiferromagnet.

description: Associations of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) radial growth with satellite-based soil moisture (SM) during the intensive tree growth period over a 30-year time span (1980-2010) were analyzed. This study included tree-ring width (TRW) chronologies from 22 stands located in four southeastern (SE) European countries (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Bulgaria), which were grouped into three wetness groups (WGs): dry (<650 mm), moderate (650-750 mm), and wet (>750 mm), following the annual sum of precipitation. High correlation strengths during the intensive growth period-late spring and early summer months (April to June) was noted, which was opposite to the trend in late summer months. Variations in detrended TRW (TRWi) sensitivity to SM were also observed among the WGs. Specifically, the TRWi chronologies from the dry and wet WGs provided a greater number of significant correlations (p < 0.01) than trees from the moderate WG did. In wetter stands, TRWi correlated more negatively in the wettest (spring) months, while the correlation was weaker in summer months; these trends were opposite to those of trees growing in drier conditions that had the strongest responses to SM. A generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) based on 38 variables indicated that the fit for SM and radial growth was as strong as the fits for other traditionally measured parameters (temperature, precipitation, and river water level) and calculated drought indices (standardized precipitation index and the Ellenberg index) and TRW. Additionally, radial growth chronologies from drier sites had stronger fits with surrounding environmental factors. In conclusion, our findings suggest that SM can potentially be used as a reliable remote sensing indicator of the soil wetness in oak forests, which affects tree productivity and radial growth patterns and provides a new opportunity in dendrochronology research on larger scales.

description: Eight institutes using 12 different instruments analyzed newly developed multi-element reference materials (RM) for atmospheric particulate matter (PM) measurements. These RM have the potential to fill a gap in the currently available quality assurance resources for element analysis of PM samples such as X-ray fluorescence and inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. This study evaluates the performance of these new RM generated by the University of California, Davis. The methodological challenge was to determine the reference loadings on the RM. Gravimetry is the most robust method to determine the sample deposit mass but cannot be used for these RM because some solution components are volatile and result in unpredictable total mass loadings on the RM. Instead of using gravimetry, a single well-measured element, along with the assumption that the relative mass fractions in the solutions were maintained in the aerosol deposited on the filters, was used to determine the reference loadings on the RM. This assumption appears to be valid for most elements in the solutions; notable exceptions include volatile species such as chlorine and bromine. Results from the 12 different instruments in the inter-laboratory evaluation agreed very well with the reference loadings (adjusted R2 > 0.9 and slope between 0.7 and 1.3) for 17 of the 28 elements. In many cases, one or two instruments did not meet the performance criteria, which points to individual instrument calibration problems. For the 11 elements that did not perform as well, development work continues, and this intercomparison helped identify and fix a source of contamination in the system used to create the RM.
