description: Five self-lensing binaries (SLBs) have been discovered with data from the \textit{Kepler} mission. One of these systems is KIC 8145411, which was reported to host an extremely low mass (ELM; $0.2\,M_{\odot}$) white dwarf (WD) in a 456-day orbit with a solar-type companion. The system has been dubbed "impossible", because evolutionary models predict that $\sim 0.2\,M_{\odot}$ WDs should only be found in tight orbits ($P_{\rm orb} \lesssim$ days). In this work, we show that KIC 8145411 is in fact a hierarchical triple system: it contains a WD orbiting a solar-type star, with another solar-type star $\sim 700\,$AU away. The wide companion was unresolved in the Kepler light curves, was just barely resolved in Gaia DR3, and is resolved beyond any doubt by high-resolution imaging. We show that the presence of this tertiary confounded previous mass measurements of the WD for two reason: it dilutes the amplitude of the self-lensing pulses, and it reduces the apparent radial velocity (RV) variability amplitude of the WD's companion due to line blending. By jointly fitting the system's light curves, RVs, and multi-band photometry using a model with two luminous stars, we obtain a revised WD mass of $(0.53 \pm 0.01)\,M_{\odot}$. Both luminous stars are near the end of their main-sequence evolution. The WD is thus not an ELM WD, and the system does not suffer the previously proposed challenges to its formation history. Similar to the other SLBs and the population of astrometric WD binaries recently identified from Gaia data, KIC 8145411 has parameters in tension with standard expectations for formation through both stable and unstable mass transfer. The system's properties are likely best understood as a result of unstable mass transfer from an AGB star donor.

description: Selon le rapport sur l'avenir de l'emploi du Forum Économique Mondial 2020 : vers l’année 2025, environ 50 % de tous les employés devront acquérir de nouvelles compétences, principalement des soft skills, pour faire face à l'adoption croissante des technologies. Dans ce cadre, le nouveau modèle de développement insiste sur le renouvellement de l’école marocaine pour suivre le rythme accéléré du développement technologique et garantir l’employabilité des diplômés marocains. Quelle est alors la relation entre l'intégration des soft skills dans le système éducatif marocain et l'amélioration de l'employabilité des jeunes diplômés ? L’étude des recherches théoriques a démontré que l’employabilité des jeunes dépend particulièrement des compétences développées par le système éducatif. Pour bien éclaircir cela, nous allons définir les concepts clés abordés dans cette recherche. Ensuite, nous effectuerons une analyse synthétique des articles traitant la corrélation entre l'employabilité et les compétences comportementales. Enfin, nous examinerons les priorités nationales et les stratégies adoptées par le gouvernement dans ce domaine.

description: The chemical investigations of the methanolic root, stem bark, leaf, and fruit extracts of Ficus vogeliana Miq (Moraceae) led to the isolation of nineteen different compounds including one new triglyceride derivative named vogelianor (1), two compounds (2 and 4) obtained for the first time from a natural source, as well as sixteen known compounds (3, 5 − 19). The structures of all the isolates were established by extensive spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses (1D and 2D NMR, ESI-MS) and by comparison with previously reported data. Compound 7 showed moderate activity against E. coli with a MIC value of 31.25 µg/mL, whilst compound 13 exhibited moderate activity against S. typhimurium with MIC value of 31.25 µg/mL. The leaf, root, and stem bark extracts displayed significant potency against E. coli with MIC values of 62.5 μg/mL, 31.25 µg/mL, and 62.5 μg/mL, respectively. Finally, the chemophenetic significance of the isolated compounds is discussed.

description: The fracture mechanics concept is becoming increasingly important in the assessment of the fatigue safety of historic railway bridges. Compared to the stress-life-concept, the main advantage is that only the current and future traffic loads must be considered. The crack model, fracture-mechanical material parameters and the size of suspected or actual fatigue cracks are other significant factors influencing the fracture-mechanical crack growth calculations. This paper focuses on the characterization of these input variables. Hot-driven rivets generate a clamping force due to shrinkage during cooling after manufacture. This has the effect of compression stress on the connected parts and has a positive influence on the fatigue behavior of the component. This article presents a crack model for determining the stress intensity factor of riveted components. The model can consider not only the component stress acting orthogonally to the crack plane but also the rivet clamping force acting orthogonally to the sheet metal plane. The material properties of steels from the first half of the 20th century differ significantly from those of modern structural steels. The results of the Paris-Parameters for crack growth on structural steel St 48 from 1925 are presented. The fracture mechanics assessment of cyclically loaded structures includes inspections as well as crack growth calculations. In riveted structures, fatigue cracks occur at the point of greatest notch stress, at the edge of the rivet hole. An inspection method has been developed for this area, hidden by the rivet head, which can be used to detect fatigue cracks at a very early stage. The influence of the three parameters mentioned – crack model, Paris-Parameter, and initial crack length – on the result of fracture mechanics crack growth calculations is presented using the example of the Elbe-Bridge in Meissen.

description: If an asymmetry in time does not arise from the fundamental dynamical laws of physics, it may be found in special boundary conditions. The argument normally goes that since thermodynamic entropy in the past is lower than in the future according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, then tracing this back to the time around the Big Bang means the universe must have started off in a state of very low thermodynamic entropy: the Thermodynamic Past Hypothesis. In this paper, we consider another boundary condition that plays a similar role, but for the decoherent arrow of time, i.e. the quantum state of the universe is more mixed in the future than in the past. According to what we call the Entanglement Past Hypothesis, the initial quantum state of the universe had very low entanglement entropy. We clarify the content of the Entanglement Past Hypothesis, compare it with the Thermodynamic Past Hypothesis, and identify some challenges and open questions for future research.

Enabling Smeagol On Xeon Phi: Lessons Learned
Creators: name: Elena, Alin M.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014
Subjects: Smeagol, MIC, hybrid architecture

description: The aim of the work is to port the quantum electron transport code Smeagol to the Intel Yeon Phi (MIC) based hybrid architecture. Smeagol is based on density functiona theory, and utilises the non-equlibrium Green's function formalism (NEGF) to calculate the charge density at an applied bias voltage. We successfully significantly shorter than the one on the MIC. It is not possible to run large systems on a single MIC due to memory limits. For large systems we adopt a different strategy for efficiently using this hybrid architecture: we propose to run most of the calculation on a number of host processors, distributed over a set of nodes, using MPI, and the large memory on the host, which enables calculations for large systems. We show that in Smeagol the most time-consuming operation is the inversion required to obtain the Green's function within the NEGF formalism. Our results indicate that for sufficiently large systems our implementation of the recursive Green's functions (RGF) inversion algorithm can indeed run faster on the MIC plus host setup than on the host. This is also true for the whole Smeagol code utilised in such an offload mode.

description: Acoustic emission or scattering problems naturally involve uncertainties about the sound sources or boundary conditions. This article initiates the study of time domain boundary elements for such stochastic boundary problems for the acoustic wave equation. We present a space-time stochastic Galerkin boundary element method which is applied to sound-hard, sound-soft and absorbing scatterers. Uncertainties in both the sources and the boundary conditions are considered using a polynomial chaos expansion. The numerical experiments illustrate the performance and convergence of the proposed method in model problems and present an application to a problem from traffic noise.

description: Near-solar mass black holes (BHs) could have been involved in the two recent gravitational wave events, GW190425 and GW190814. Since such a low mass BH cannot be formed via stellar evolution, a model has been proposed based on the core collapse of a neutron star initiated by a certain number of dark matter (DM) particles. In this process, the accumulated DM particles collapse to form a tiny BH inside the neutron star, and the entire neutron star is transmuted into a BH after a certain time due to the accretion of matter by the endoparasitic BH from its host. Here, we argue that, depending on the initial conditions, a dark core collapse could give rise to either a BH or a naked singularity. For example, if the accumulated cloud of DM particles in the core of a neutron star can be modeled as an anisotropic fluid and it fulfils the criterion for collapse, an endoparasitic naked singularity could form instead of an endoparasitic BH. Immediately after its formation, the naked singularity should begin accreting matter from the host neutron star, thus eventually transmuting the entire host into a near-solar mass, relatively slowly-spinning naked singularity. We also propose a general technique to constrain the DM particle--neutron scattering cross section using the lack of pulsars near the Galactic centre and assuming that these missing pulsars have already been transmuted into BHs and/or naked singularities. Thus, the missing pulsars also indicate the existence of many such singularities near the Galactic center.

description: Dans le cadre du développement du marché financier marocain et de l'exploration de nouvelles méthodes de financement économique, la titrisation se révèle être une approche efficace permettant de créer des titres adossés à des actifs. En substance, cette méthode consiste à prendre les actifs non liquides d'une entité économique, à les regrouper et à les convertir en titres liquides, qui sont par la suite vendus aux investisseurs. Cette stratégie représente une alternative intéressante pour les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) marocaines, souvent confrontées à des difficultés pour obtenir des financements auprès des institutions de crédit traditionnelles. Cet article se propose d'analyser les différentes formes de titrisation au Maroc, son cadre juridique, ainsi que son rôle dans le financement des principales entités économiques du pays. Pour cela, il est jugé approprié de s'appuyer sur une réflexion théorique issue de la littérature portant sur la titrisation des actifs hypothécaires et leur relation avec le financement économique. L'objectif est de comprendre comment la titrisation contribue-t-elle significativement au financement de l'économie ? Les résultats obtenus indiquent que la titrisation joue un rôle prépondérant dans le financement de l'économie marocaine, en améliorant la gestion des risques pour les entreprises, en diversifiant les portefeuilles pour les investisseurs institutionnels et en permettant l'obtention de liquidités à des coûts plus faibles.

Binding energy referencing in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy: expanded data set confirms that adventitious carbon aligns to the vacuum level

description: The correct referencing of the binding energy (BE) scale is essential for the accuracy of chemical analysis by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The C 1s C C/C-H peak from adventitious carbon (AdC), most commonly used for that purpose, was previously shown to shift by several eVs following changes in the sample work function, thus indicating that AdC aligns to the sample vacuum level (VL). Here, results from a much larger sample set are presented including 360 specimens of thin-film samples comprising metals, nitrides, carbides, borides, oxides, carbonitrides, and oxynitrides. Irrespective of the material system the C 1s peak of AdC is found to follow changes in the sample work function fully confirming previous results. Several observations exclude differential charging as plausible explanation. All experimental evidence points instead to the VL alignment at the AdC/sample interface as the source of shifts. Should the C 1s peak of AdC be used for spectra referencing the measurement of sample work function is necessary, irrespective of whether samples are measured grounded or insulated from the spectrometer.

description: The interest of the Associate Committee on this problem extends back to the very earliest days of the Committee. In 1947 the Committee sponsored a conference at which snow and ice problems were discussed. It was recognized at thattime that greater attention should be given to snow removal and ice control. Since then considerable attention has been given to this problem, primarily by those responsible for winter maintenance operations. The experience accumulated hasbeen such that in 1964 the Snow and Ice Subcommittee of the Associate Committee was able to sponsor a two-day conference on the problem. The Proceedings* of this conference is a useful record of experience, as well as a sourceof information on the cost of winter maintenance and the factors that influence it.

description: The developments which have taken place in the northern regions of Canada during recent years have focused attention on the engineering problems associated with permafrost or perennially frozen ground - a terrain condition encountered over one-half the land area of this country. These developments have led to a steadily increasing demand for information on the properties of permafrost and methods of construction in areas where permafrost occurs. In recognition of the importance of permafrost in the development of the North, the National Research Council has been active for some years in the study of this phenomenon through the work of its Division of Building Research. In 1952 this Division established a Northern Research Station at Norman Hells to provide a centre for this specialized field research.
description: Les développements qui ont eu lieu dans les régions nordiques du Canada ces dernières années ont mis en relief les problèmes d'ingénierie associés au pergélisol ou gélisol pérenne, facteur topographique que l'on rencontre dans plus de la moitié du territoire de ce pays. Ces développements ont donné lieu à une demande d'information en augmentation croissante concernant les propriétés du pergélisol et les méthodes de construction à adopter dans les régions où on le rencontre. Reconnaissant l'importance du pergélisol dans le développement du Nord, le Conseil national de recherches du Canada étudie activement ce phénomène, depuis un certain nombre d'années, par les travaux de sa Division des recherches en bâtiment. En 1952, celle-ci a mis sur pied une station de recherche nordique à Norman Hells afin de disposer d'un centre consacré à cette recherche sur le terrain d'un type spécialisé.

description: Depuis les années 90, les autorités marocaines se sont engagées dans des grands chantiers de réformes visant la modernisation du secteur bancaire ,à travers certes la mobilisation effectif de l’épargne et l’assurance d’une réinjection efficace de ces fonds dans le financement de l'économie. La relation entre le développement des systèmes financiers et la croissance économique était l’objet des débats controversés au cours des trois dernières décennies tant sur le plan empirique que théorique. La présente étude a pour objectif de vérifier si le développement du secteur bancaire exerce un impact de causalité sur la croissance de l’économie marocaine. Nous avons procédé à travers une modélisation ARDL afin d’estimer la relation, à long et à court terme, entre des variables mesurant le développement du secteur bancaire et le taux de croissance économique. Les résultats initiaux indiquent que les crédits accordés au secteur privé ont un impact significatif sur le produit intérieur brut (PIB) et jouent un rôle moteur dans la stimulation de la croissance économique.

description: On road bridges, hot asphalt is installed to provide a protective, level and waterproof surface. That wearing surface however must be occasionally renewed after years of traffic loads. On a number of steel highway bridges, it has been observed that fatigue cracks increasingly occurred at the weld seams of orthotropic bridge-decks after such asphalt renewal. The German Federal Highway Research Institute has assigned a research project to RWTH Aachen University to evaluate the response of steel bridges to time- and location-dependent, nonlinear temperature profiles induced by the installed layer of hot asphalt. Since FEM-software even on modern computer systems could not provide solutions for long, large-span bridges due to the required level of detailing, a software-based lamella-model was developed that saves time and computing resources. The lamella-model allows the partition of the bridge into rectangular beam-lamella, which consider precisely the nonlinear temperature profile and provide the determination of the inner forces, stresses, strains and displacements over the cross-section and along the bridge. This paper presents the theoretical background of the lamella-program as well as results calculated exemplarily for a 742-meter-long German highway bridge including the validation with temperature and strain measurements from that bridge during asphalting.

description: We describe the evolution of low mass planets in a dispersing protoplanetary disk around a Solar mass star. The disk model is based on the results of Yu, Hansen & Hasegawa (2023), which describes a region of the inner disk where the direction of the migration torque is outwards due to the diffusion of the stellar magnetic field into the disk and the resultant gradual increase in surface density outwards. We demonstrate that the magnetospheric rebound phase in such a disk leads to diverging orbits for double and triple planet systems, and the disruption of a high fraction of the initial resonant chains.
 We present simulations of three planet systems with masses based on the observed triple planet systems observed by the Kepler satellite within the context of this model. The final distribution of nearest neighbour period ratios provides an excellent fit to the observations, provided that the initial resonant configurations are compact. The occurrence rate of planets as a function of orbital period also provides a good match to the observations, for final orbital periods P<20 days.
 These results suggest that the period and period ratio distributions of low mass planets are primarily set in place during the disk dispersal epoch, and may not require significant dynamical evolution thereafter.

description: Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a multi-factorial disease characterized by insulin resistance and pancreatic β cell dysfunction, accounts for 90% of all forms of diabetes. Recent studies identified β cell dedifferentiation as one mechanism leading to β cell failure in T2D, and this phenotype has been linked with loss of expression of cellular identity markers​. The molecular mechanisms leading to β cell dedifferentiation in T2D are not well defined and represent a key gap in our understanding of disease progression. Furthermore, sex-specific mechanisms contributing to β cell dysfunction remain unknown. We demonstrated that β cell-specific stromal interaction molecule 1 knockout (STIM1Δβ) leads to obesity-induced glucose intolerance and reduced expression of β cell identity genes in female but not male mice. Mechanistic studies identified reduced G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) expression in female STIM1Δβ islets, suggesting a novel connection between STIM1, GPER, and β cell identity. To determine how STIM1 and GPER interact to maintain β cell identity in females, we generated and characterized two mouse models: a surgical ovariectomy (OVX) model and a β cell-specific GPER knockout (GPERΔβ) model. Female high fat diet (HFD)-fed OVX mice showed glucose intolerance and loss of β cell identity gene expression, and ex vivo treatment of OVX islets with a GPER agonist rescued the loss of β cell identity. Additionally, HFD-fed GPERΔβ female mice had increased glucose excursions compared to controls. Our results highlight the critical role that estradiol signaling through GPER plays in the maintenance of β cell health and identity and the pathogenesis of T2D in females.

description: Reinforced concrete (RC) road bridges play a crucial role in transportation infrastructure and must endure varying degrees of damage during seismic events, including the risk of collapse. Their resilience is vital for post-earthquake recovery, enabling the movement of emergency services and goods. While some bridges may require repairs, many can still accommodate emergency vehicles. This study focuses on the seismic assessment of bridges, particularly those built under outdated regulations, guided by European standards such as EN 1998. This paper presents a comparative numerical analysis of three bridge models with identical superstructures but varying substructures, specifically the mid-columns. The analyzed prestressed concrete bridges span 88 meters and adhere to European standards. By employing nonlinear analysis methods, the study assesses how design variations influence seismic fragility and column responses. Key findings reveal that design choices significantly affect structural performance, highlighting the need for rigorous seismic evaluations. Fragility curves indicate that Model 1, despite strong initial resilience, exhibits increased vulnerability under severe conditions. In contrast, Models 2 and 3 demonstrate enhanced resilience, especially in extensive and complete damage states. This analysis emphasizes the importance of ductility in bridge design, with Model 2 proving particularly effective for regions prone to high seismic activity. Overall, the study underscores the necessity for continuous optimization of bridge designs to mitigate seismic risks and ensure safety and functionality during and after earthquakes.

description: The smallness of the cross section of evaporation residues formed in the hot fusion reaction $^{48}$Ca+$^{232}$Th is analyzed by the dinuclear system model (DNS). The capture probability has been calculated by solving the dynamical equations of motion for the relative distance between the centers-of-mass of the DNS nuclei. Fusion of nuclei is considered as evolution of the DNS to a stable compound nucleus. The fusion probability has a bell-like shape and quasifission is one of reasons causing smallness of the yield of the evaporation residues products. Another reason is the decrease of the fission barrier for the isotopes $^{275-285}$Dm related with the shell effects in the neutron structure. The agreement of the theoretical results obtained for the yield of the evaporation residues with the experimental data measured in the Factory of superheavy elements of Joint Institute for Nuclear Research is well.

description: A collision between a proton and a heavy nucleus at ultrarelativistic energy creates particles whose rapidity distribution is asymmetric, with more particles emitted in the direction of the nucleus than in the direction of the proton. This asymmetry becomes more pronounced as the centrality estimator, defined from the energy deposited in a calorimeter, increases. We argue that for high-multiplicity collisions, the variation of the impact parameter plays a negligible role, and that the fluctuations of the multiplicity and of the centrality estimator are dominated by quantum fluctuations, whose probability distribution can be well approximated by a correlated gamma distribution. We show that this simple model reproduces existing data, and we make quantitative predictions for collisions in the $0-0.1\%$ and $0-0.01\%$ centrality windows. We argue that by repeating the same analysis with a different centrality estimator, one can obtain direct information about the rapidity decorrelation in particle production.
