description: We present a study of galaxies showing mid-infrared variability in data taken in the deepest Spitzer/MIPS 24 $μ$m surveys in the GOODS-South field. We divide the dataset in epochs and subepochs to study the long-term (months-years) and the short-term (days) variability. We use a $χ^2$-statistics method to select AGN candidates with a probability $\leq$ 1% that the observed variability is due to statistical errors alone. We find 39 (1.7% of the parent sample) sources that show long-term variability and 55 (2.2% of the parent sample) showing short-term variability. That is, 0.03 sources $\times$ arcmin$^{-2}$ for both, long-term and short-term variable sources. After removing the expected number of false positives inherent to the method, the estimated percentages are 1.0% and 1.4% of the parent sample for the long-term and short-term respectively. We compare our candidates with AGN selected in the X-ray and radio bands, and AGN candidates selected by their IR emission. Approximately, 50% of the MIPS 24 $μ$m variable sources would be identified as AGN with these other methods. Therefore, MIPS 24 $μ$m variability is a new method to identify AGN candidates, possibly dust obscured and low luminosity AGN, that might be missed by other methods. However, the contribution of the MIPS 24 $μ$m variable identified AGN to the general AGN population is small ($\leq$ 13%) in GOODS-South.

Impacts of River Runoff in the Arctic Ocean: Modelling Changes in Flow and Temperature
Creators: Weiss-Gibbons, Tahya
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

River runoff plays a very important role in the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic Ocean accounts for around 1% of the total world ocean volume, but receives around 11% of the worlds river runoff. In addition, the Arctic Ocean is a β ocean, where stratification is primarily determined by salinity as opposed to temperature as in most of the worlds oceans. This makes many processes in the Arctic Ocean sensitive to changes in river discharge. With climate change, inflow from rivers is expected to increase into the Arctic Ocean. River water temperatures are also rising, which will increase the heat flux from rivers into the Arctic Ocean. Ocean models can provide an important tool to understand the Arctic’s response to these changes. This thesis will first introduce background information on Arctic Ocean processes, focusing on freshwater and river runoff. Ocean modelling basics will be reviewed, as well as specific information on the modelling configuration used in this work. The sensitivity of ocean model simulations to different river runoff forcing will be investigated. This will look at regional impacts particularly in the Canadian Arctic, and the propagation of runoff increases downstream into the North Atlantic. Riverine heat flux into the Arctic Ocean is also examined, by incorporating river water temperature information into ocean model simulations. Particular focus is given to the associated heat fluxes into the Arctic Ocean, as

well as the impacts on sea ice.

description: The study of the stellar formation history in the solar neighborhood is a powerful technique to recover information about the early stages and evolution of the Milky Way. We present a new method which consists of directly probing the formation history from the nearby stellar remnants. We rely on the volume complete sample of white dwarfs within 20 pc, where accurate cooling ages and masses have been determined. The well characterized initial-final mass relation is employed in order to recover the initial masses (1 < M/Msun < 8) and total ages for the local degenerate sample. We correct for moderate biases that are necessary to transform our results to a global stellar formation rate, which can be compared to similar studies based on the properties of main-sequence stars in the solar neighborhood. Our method provides precise formation rates for all ages except in very recent times, and the results suggest an enhanced formation rate for the solar neighborhood in the last 5 Gyr compared to the range 5 < Age (Gyr) < 10. Furthermore, the observed total age of ~10 Gyr for the oldest white dwarfs in the local sample is consistent with the early seminal studies that have determined the age of the Galactic disk from stellar remnants. The main shortcoming of our study is the small size of the local white dwarf sample. However, the presented technique can be applied to larger samples in the future.

description: We study the behavior of a stochastic variant of replicator dynamics in two-agent zero-sum games. We characterize the statistics of such systems by their invariant measures which can be shown to be entirely supported on the boundary of the space of mixed strategies. Depending on the noise strength we can furthermore characterize these invariant measures by finding accumulation of mass at specific parts of the boundary. In particular, regardless of the magnitude of noise, we show that any invariant probability measure is a convex combination of Dirac measures on pure strategy profiles, which correspond to vertices/corners of the agents' simplices. Thus, in the presence of stochastic perturbations, even in the most classic zero-sum settings, such as Matching Pennies, we observe a stark disagreement between the axiomatic prediction of Nash equilibrium and the evolutionary emergent behavior derived by an assumption of stochastically adaptive, learning agents.

description: There is recent interest in characterizing the subset of obese individuals who have healthy metabolic profiles yet only two studies have examined this group prospectively but not in racially diverse populations. We analyzed factors associated with the prevalence and incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) among individuals grouped by body mass index (BMI) categories in a multi-center, community-based cohort of 14,663 African-American and white men and women aged 45-64 years at recruitment in 1987-1989, the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study. Logistic and proportional hazards regression were utilized to estimate odds ratios (OR) for the prevalence and hazard ratios (HR) for incidence of MetSyn with 95% confidence intervals (CI). At visit 1, MetSyn was positively associated with age, female gender, African-American race, and inversely related to education, associations being more pronounced among normal weight (NW) subjects. Among those without MetSyn at visit 1, obese (OB) subjects were more likely to develop MetSyn compared with NW [HR (95% CI): 4.53 (4.09-5.01)]. Several factors were associated with incident MetSyn among NW, including older age [per year: 1.05 (1.03-1.06)], female gender [vs. male: 1.29 (1.10-1.52)], heavy alcohol intake [vs. never: 0.75 (0.59-0.94)] and physical activity [tertile 3 vs. tertile 1: 0.71 (0.58-0.86)] but not OB. Weight gain (>5%) was also more highly associated with MetSyn in NW [1.61 (1.28-2.02)] compared with OB [1.01 (0.85-1.20)]. We conclude that lifestyle factors may play a stronger role in development of MetSyn in NW individuals compared with OB and that metabolically healthy obesity may not be a stable condition.

description: The high-level and lazy programming model offered by RDataFrame has proven to be both user-friendly while at the same time providing satisfactory performance for many HEP analysis use cases. With the addition of a Pythonic layer for automatic distribution of workloads to multiple machines, RDataFrame can easily serve as a swiss knife tool for developing a full production-scale analysis with an ergonomic interface. This talk will present how a full-scale CMS analysis was translated from a traditional iterative approach with PyROOT to using RDataFrame and how such translation made it possible to automatically parallelize the analysis computations and merge their results. The analysis is benchmarked on a next generation analysis facility developed in the context of INFN R&D activities, which provides the users with a JupyterLab session and a built-in connection to HTCondor distributed resources accessible via the Dask Python library.

description: The coupling of the electron system to lattice vibrations and their time-dependent control and detection provides unique insight into the non-equilibrium physics of semiconductors. Here, we investigate the ultrafast transient response of semiconducting monolayer 2$H$-MoTe$_2$ encapsulated with $h$BN using broadband optical pump-probe microscopy. The sub-40-fs pump pulse triggers extremely intense and long-lived coherent oscillations in the spectral region of the A' and B' exciton resonances, up to $\sim$20% of the maximum transient signal, due to the displacive excitation of the out-of-plane $A_{1g}$ phonon. Ab-initio calculations reveal a dramatic rearrangement of the optical absorption of monolayer MoTe$_2$ induced by an out-of-plane stretching and compression of the crystal lattice, consistent with an $A_{1g}$-type oscillation. Our results highlight the extreme sensitivity of the optical properties of monolayer TMDs to small structural modifications and their manipulation with light.

description: The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the policy of higher education in Indonesia from conventional learning to online. This policy change encourages students to have psychological resilience and adaptability through digital resilience and academic skills. The research method is divided into two stages: qualitatively formulating a measurement construct using an open-ended questionnaire with a total of 137 respondents. Based on the qualitative data, a digital measuring instrument for resilience and academic skills was developed as a 5-choice Likert Scale. The second stage is carried out quantitatively, looking at the reliability and item-total correlation test to select items not aligned with the measuring function using the Statistical Program for Social Science. The trial was conducted on 137 respondents. Based on the digital scale of resilience trials, the results showed that 64.9% of respondents had high resilience, 33.8% had moderate stability, and 1.2% had low strength. While analyzing the items measuring digital resilience and academic skills research, it was found that Cronbach's Alpha reliability value was 0.917. So the measuring instrument for digital resilience and academic skills is reliable and appropriate to be used to explain the condition of students during Covid-19.

description: In high-tech production, companies often deal with the manufacture of assemblies with quality requirements close to the technological limits of manufacturing processes. The article shows an approach of a virtual in-line inspection, predicting the products functionality. An artificial neural network (ANN) fed with product characteristics and process data as well as the resulting functional fulfillment of the product is trained for virtual function prognosis. Through the preventive identification of defective products before the final assembly step, components can be recovered and returned to serial production. By optimizing the parameters of the ANN, incorrect classifications are reduced and the practical applicability is ensured. The approach is demonstrated in an industrial application in the automotive industry.

Differential Wye Modular Multilevel AC Converter (DW-M2AC) for Direct AC/AC Power Conversion
Creators: Herathge, Shehan S
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Direct AC/AC MMCs are used in a wide variety of power system applications such as interconnecting asynchronous grids with different frequencies, renewable energy integrations and medium voltage variable frequency motor drives.  Due to the advantages such as lower component count and lesser control complexity led by a low number of control states currents, the development of direct AC/AC MMCs with a lower number of arms has been a research trend in the recent literature. This research work proposes a direct AC/AC MMC with a simpler converter design (low number of arms) that has an integrated transformer to provide necessary galvanic isolation. A defining feature of the DW-M2AC is the adoption of a novel power transfer mechanism where the transformer windings carry current with multiple frequency components, while the core is rated only for a single AC frequency flux similar to conventional AC power systems transformers. This multi-tasking of the transformer provides a lower total semiconductor effort and, due to an inherent voltage boosting effect, makes the DW-M2AC more suitable for applications where high AC voltage step ratios are needed. This research work also presents a control strategy based on dq reference frame with decoupled control of differential mode and common mode currents in converter arms. The DW-M2AC’s performance is tested under different scenarios using simulations. The simulation results are used to study the converter power transferring capability in fixed frequency grid connected operation and variable frequency operation.  A scaled down 208/104 V, 1 kW three-phase laboratory prototype is developed and the converter operating principle is further validated by conducting a series of experiments.

description: We consider a bilinear optimal control problem associated to the following chemotaxis-consumption model in a bounded domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ during a time interval $(0,T)$: $$\partial_t u - Δu = - \nabla \cdot (u \nabla v), \quad \partial_t v - Δv = - u^s v + f v 1_{Ω_c},$$ with $s \geq 1$, endowed with isolated boundary conditions and initial conditions for $(u,v)$, $u$ being the cell density, $v$ the chemical concentration and $f$ the bilinear control acting in a subdomain $Ω_c \subset Ω$. The existence of weak solutions $(u,v)$ to this model given $f \in L^q((0,T) \times Ω)$, for some $q > 5/2$, has been proved in [F. Guillén-González and A. L. Corrêa Vianna Filho, Optimal Control Related to Weak Solutions of a Chemotaxis-Consumption Model, arXiv:2211.14612, 2022]. In this paper, we study a related optimal control problem in the strong solution setting. First, imposing the regularity criterion $u ^s \in L^q((0,T) \times Ω)$ ($q > 5/2$) for a given weak solution, we prove existence and uniqueness of global-in-time strong solutions. Then, the existence of a global optimal solution can be deduced. Finally, using a Lagrange multipliers theorem, we establish first order optimality conditions for any local optimal solution, proving existence, uniqueness and regularity of the associated Lagrange multipliers.
Observational appearance of inefficient accretion flows and jets in 3D GRMHD simulations: Application to Sgr~A*

description: Radiatively inefficient accretion flows (RIAFs) are believed to power supermassive black holes (SMBH) in the underluminous cores of galaxies. Such black holes are typically accompanied by flat-spectrum radio cores indicating the presence of moderately relativistic jets. One of the best constrained RIAFs is associated with the SMBH in the Galactic center, Sgr A*. Since the plasma in RIAFs is only weakly collisional, the dynamics and the radiative properties of these systems are very uncertain. Here we want to study the impact of varying electron temperature on the appearance of accretion flows and jets. Using 3-D GRMHD accretion flow simulations, we use ray tracing methods to predict spectra and radio images of RIAFs allowing for different electron heating mechanisms in the in- and outflowing parts of the simulations. We find that small changes in the electron temperature can result in dramatic differences in the relative dominance of jets and accretion flows. Application to Sgr A* shows that radio spectrum and size of this source can be well reproduced with a model where electrons are more efficiently heated in the jet. The X-ray emission is sensitive to the electron heating mechanism in the jets and disk and therefore X-ray observations put strong constraints on electron temperatures and geometry of the accretion flow and jet. For Sgr A*, the jet model also predicts a significant frequency-dependent core shift which could place independent constraints on the model once measured accurately. We conclude that more sophisticated models for electron distribution functions are crucial for constraining GRMHD simulations with actual observations. For Sgr A*, the radio appearance may well be dominated by the outflowing plasma. Nonetheless, at the highest radio frequencies, the shadow of the event horizon should still be detectable with future Very Long Baseline Interferometric observations.

description: Analyzing news media allows obesity policy researchers to understand popular conceptions about obesity, which is important for targeting health education and policies. A persistent dilemma is that investigators have to read and manually classify thousands of individual news articles to identify how obesity and obesity-related policy proposals may be described to the public in the media. We demonstrate a novel method called “automated content analysis” that permits researchers to train computers to “read” and classify massive volumes of documents.

description: We study the interplay between coherent light-matter interactions and non-resonant pulse propagation effects when ultra-short pulses propagate in room-temperature quantum-dot (QD) semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). The signatures observed on a pulse envelope after propagating in a transparent SOA, when coherent Rabi-oscillations are absent, highlight the contribution of two-photon absorption (TPA), and its accompanying Kerr-like effect, as well as of linear dispersion, to the modification of the pulse complex electric field profile. These effects are incorporated into our previously developed finite-difference time-domain comprehensive model that describes the interaction between the pulses and the QD SOA. The present, generalized, model is used to investigate the combined effect of coherent and non-resonant phenomena in the gain and absorption regimes of the QD SOA. It confirms that in the QD SOA we examined, linear dispersion in the presence of the Kerr-like effect causes pulse compression, which counteracts the pulse peak suppression due to TPA, and also modifies the patterns which the coherent Rabi-oscillations imprint on the pulse envelope under both gain and absorption conditions. The inclusion of these effects leads to a better fit with experiments and to a better understanding of the interplay among the various mechanisms so as to be able to better analyze more complex future experiments of coherent light-matter interaction induced by short pulses propagating along an SOA.

description: The emerging paradigm of resource disaggregation enables the deployment of cloud-like services across a pool of physical and virtualized resources, interconnected using a network fabric. This design embodies several benefits in terms of resource efficiency and cost-effectiveness, service elasticity and adaptability, etc. Application domains benefiting from such a trend include cyber-physical systems (CPS), tactile internet, 5G networks and beyond, or mixed reality applications, all generally embodying heterogeneous Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In this context, a key enabling factor to fully support those mixed-criticality scenarios will be the network and the system-level support for time-sensitive communication. Although a lot of work has been conducted on devising efficient orchestration and CPU scheduling strategies, the networking aspects of performance-critical components remain largely unstudied. Bridging this gap, we propose KuberneTSN, an original solution built on the Kubernetes platform, providing support for time-sensitive traffic to unmodified application binaries. We define an architecture for an accelerated and deterministic overlay network, which includes kernel-bypassing networking features as well as a novel userspace packet scheduler compliant with the Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standard. The solution is implemented as tsn-cni, a Kubernetes network plugin that can coexist alongside popular alternatives. To assess the validity of the approach, we conduct an experimental analysis on a real distributed testbed, demonstrating that KuberneTSN enables applications to easily meet deterministic deadlines, provides the same guarantees of bare-metal deployments, and outperforms overlay networks built using the Flannel plugin.

Use of Turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapifera) and Rutabaga (B. napus var. napobrassica) for the Improvement of Clubroot Resistance in Spring B. napus Canola
Creators: Liu, Yingyi

Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most serious threats to spring Brassica napus canola production in Canada. Growing of clubroot-resistant cultivars is the key to control this disease. The genetic base of the Canadian spring B. napus canola for clubroot resistance genes is narrow, and a strong resistance to the newly evolved pathotypes cannot be achieved using the available resistance genes. In this study, two advanced-generation breeding populations of spring B. napus canola, a BC1F8 population derived from spring B. napus canola × B. rapa subsp. rapifera European fodder turnip accession ECD 01 interspecific cross and a doubled haloid (DH) population developed from spring B. napus canola × Canola line carrying clubroot resistance of B. napus var. napobrassica rutabaga cv. Polycross, were accessed for resistance to different pathotypes of P. brassicae. Several canola lines carrying resistance to multiple P. brassicae pathotypes including 2B, 3A and 5x (L-G1) were identified in both populations, and resistance to these pathotypes showed significant positive correlation suggesting that the genetic control of resistance to these two pathotypes might be under a similar genetic control. QTL mapping by using the DH population identified the chromosomes A03 and A08 carry clubroot resistance. In case of the A03, a genomic region located at about 32-54 cM region conferred resistance to P. brassicae pathotypes 2B, 3A, 5x (L-G1), 3H and 3D, and a region at about 210-220 cM conferred resistance to pathotypes 3H and 3D; these two genomic regions could be positioned at about 16 and 25 Mb of the physical map of A03. In case of A08, a region located at 0.0-2.35 cM contributed resistance to pathotypes 2B, 5x (L-G1), 3H and 3D, and a region located at 2.35-5.55 cM contributed resistance to pathotype 3A; these two genetic regions could be positioned at about 11-13 Mb of A08. Thus, results from this thesis research demonstrated that the turnip accession ECD 01 and rutabaga cv. Polycross carry resistance to different P. brassicae and can be used to broaden the genetic base of spring B. napus canola for resistance to clubroot disease.  The knowledge of the genomic regions of A03 and A08 carrying clubroot resistance can be used in the breeding, as well as for fine-mapping of the QTL regions and map-based cloning of the clubroot resistance genes.

description: The mapping document is part of Task 3.1. of Work Package 3 – “Authors and Performers”, titled “Perspective of Creators and performing Artists on Digitization, Copyright and the Digital Single Market”. The objective of this document is to address the income development of authors and performers and their experience with digitization and copyright reversal. The task is divided into two parts. Part 1 provides an overview of the existing literature with regards to income/earnings of authors and performers, their experience with digital platforms and AI as well as the effects of Covid. Part 2 of the document reviews all provisions in EU countries for reverting rights to authors and performers, a potential legal lever for increasing income. In Part 1 our focus was to understand existing theoretical and empirical research on authors and performers. We provide an overview of notable studies from various countries over the last 40 years and identify how authors and performers struggle with their earnings and how they lead portfolio lives to supplement their artistic income. Consistent with the aim of this task we have also discussed the experience of digitization on artists’ income/earnings specifically with regards to digital platforms. Digital platforms themselves are complex and lack transparency which makes artists' positions more vulnerable. We further identify the role Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays for artists and whether it is seen as an opportunity or a threat to artists. Another significant challenge that is highlighted in this document is that of the COVID-19 pandemic and how it has influenced artists and their earnings till now. Part 2 of the report is on Reversion Rights authored by Ula Furgal from CREATe, University of Glasgow, in which she discusses the full list of identified national provisions (per 19 Nov 2020). The provisions are presented in the form of tables, with each Member State having its own section. The next step to this task involves a survey that will be distributed to artists all over the European Union (EU) on the issues addressed in this report. Because of the nature and ongoing changes in digital trends and COVID, we will be including any new updates while developing the survey. We expect to deliver this survey to participants via social media for higher reach. Once the data is collected, we will analyse the data, and the results will be delivered as a final report.

description: Аннотация. Описан клинический случай комплексной медицинской реабилитации ребенка дошкольного возраста на втором этапе маршрутизации в условиях многопрофильной детской клини- ческой больницы после перенесенной крайне тяжелой формы коронавирусной инфекции. На примере данного клинического случая показано, что реабилитационные мероприятия, начатые в ранние сроки на фоне активной этиопатогенетической терапии COVID-19, проведенные на всех этапах лечения, способствуют сокращению сроков пребывания в условиях стационара, благоприятному исходу забо- левания. Наличие тяжелых осложнений со стороны органов и систем и нарушение гемостаза не яв- ляются противопоказанием к раннему началу медицинской реабилитации и ее дальнейшему проведе- нию на последующих этапах. Мультидисциплинарный комплексный подход, правильно подобранная индивидуальная программа медицинской реабилитации позволяют достичь основной цели второго этапа реабилитационной маршрутизации пациентов, перенесших ковид, – восстановление функции всех органов и систем, вовлеченных в патологический процесс.

description: Spontaneous missense mutations, whereby a single nucleotide results in amino acid substitution, affect the normal functioning of the eukaryotic translation elongation factor eEF1A2. These mutations have varying disease severity causing neurodevelopmental disorders in children, including autism, intellectual disability, and epilepsy. Mutations D252H and E122K, located in binding hotspots of eEF1A2, have differing eEF1A2 expression levels across different tissues in mouse models. This thesis aims to compare the effect of D252H and E122K mutations on eEF1A2 protein stability and how differences in disease severity and tissue-specific expression arise by investigating eEF1A2 expression and changes in the interactome resulting from mutations. Molecular biology techniques, such as western blotting, conducted on mouse tissue and mutant transfected HEK293T cells were conducted to determine the expression levels of D252H.eEF1A2 and E122K.eEF1A2 mutants compared to wildtype. Moreover, co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry was conducted to identify and compare the molecular binding partners of eEF1A2 mutants and revealed that proteins involved in translation were downregulated in D252H and E122K eEF1A2 mutants. Mass spectrometry was also performed in mouse brain tissue to conduct a differential expression analysis of the brain proteome, which found translation and ribosomal proteins’ expression was significantly affected in E122K mutants. In conclusion, D252H and E122K mutations result in differing expression patterns of eEF1A2 across mouse tissues and an altered eEF1A2 interactome. The E122K.eEF1A2 mouse brain proteomic analysis suggested reduced translation efficiency is one of the major biological processes affected. Therefore, mutations could be targeted by identifying and grouping altered proteins to their common functions and molecular pathways.

description: The cross sections of SDR in the Sb isotopes have been measured. Within the model used, the neutron-skin thicknesses $r_{\rm skin}({\rm exp})$ deduced $0.12 \pm 0.06$fm for $^{116}$Sn, $0.13 \pm 0.06$fm for $^{118}$Sn, $0.18 \pm 0.07$fm for $^{120}$Sn, $0.22 \pm 0.07$fm for $^{122}$Sn, $0.19 \pm 0.07$fm for $^{124}$Sn. We tested the chiral (Kyushu) $g$-matrix folding model for $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C scattering, and found that the Kyushu $g$-matrix folding model is reliable for reaction cross sections $σ_{\rm R}$ in $30 < E_{\rm in} < 100 $MeV and $250 < E_{\rm in} < 400$MeV. We determine neutron skin thickness $r_{\rm skin}({\rm exp})$, using measured $σ_{\rm R}$ of $^{4}$He+$^{116,120,224}$Sn scattering. The results are $r_{\rm skin}({\rm exp})=0.242 \pm 0.140$fm for $^{116}$Sn, $r_{\rm skin}({\rm exp})=0.377 \pm 0.140$fm for $^{120}$Sn, $r_{\rm skin}({\rm exp})=0.180 \pm 0.142$fm for $^{124}$Sn. The $σ_{\rm R}$ are available for proton scattering on $^{116,118,120,122,124}$Sn with high accuracy. Our aim is to determine $r_{\rm skin}({\rm exp})$ for $^{116,118,120,122,124}$Sn with small errors by using the Kyushu $g$-matrix folding model. Our model is the folding model with the densities scaled from the D1S-GHFB+AMP neutron density. The proton radii of D1S-GHFB+AMP agree with those calculated with the isotope shift method based on the electron scattering. We then scale the neutron densities so as to reproduce the $σ_{\rm R}({\rm exp})$. In $30 < E_{\rm in} < 65$MeV, we determine $r_{\rm skin}({\rm exp})$ from measured $σ_{\rm R}$. The values are $r_{\rm skin}({\rm exp})=0.118 \pm 0.021$~fm for $^{116}$Sn, $0.112 \pm 0.021$fm for $^{118}$Sn, $0.124 \pm 0.021$fm for $^{120}$Sn, $0.156 \pm 0.022$fm for $^{124}$Sn. As for $^{122}$Sn, the skin value in $30 < E_{\rm in} < 50$MeV is $0.122 \pm 0.024$fm. Our results are consistent with the previous values.
