description: OpenStreetMap offers a valuable source of worldwide geospatial data useful to urban researchers. This study uses the OSMnx software to automatically download and analyze 27,000 US street networks from OpenStreetMap at metropolitan, municipal, and neighborhood scales - namely, every US city and town, census urbanized area, and Zillow-defined neighborhood. It presents empirical findings on US urban form and street network characteristics, emphasizing measures relevant to graph theory, transportation, urban design, and morphology such as structure, connectedness, density, centrality, and resilience. In the past, street network data acquisition and processing have been challenging and ad hoc. This study illustrates the use of OSMnx and OpenStreetMap to consistently conduct street network analysis with extremely large sample sizes, with clearly defined network definitions and extents for reproducibility, and using nonplanar, directed graphs. These street networks and measures data have been shared in a public repository for other researchers to use.

description: We define the \emph{visual complexity} of a plane graph drawing to be the number of basic geometric objects needed to represent all its edges. In particular, one object may represent multiple edges (e.g., one needs only one line segment to draw a path with an arbitrary number of edges). Let $n$ denote the number of vertices of a graph. We show that trees can be drawn with $3n/4$ straight-line segments on a polynomial grid, and with $n/2$ straight-line segments on a quasi-polynomial grid. Further, we present an algorithm for drawing planar 3-trees with $(8n-17)/3$ segments on an $O(n)\times O(n^2)$ grid. This algorithm can also be used with a small modification to draw maximal outerplanar graphs with $3n/2$ edges on an $O(n)\times O(n^2)$ grid. We also study the problem of drawing maximal planar graphs with circular arcs and provide an algorithm to draw such graphs using only $(5n - 11)/3$ arcs. This is significantly smaller than the lower bound of $2n$ for line segments for a nontrivial graph class.

description: The anomalous metallic state in high-temperature superconducting cuprates is masked by the onset of superconductivity near a quantum critical point. Use of high magnetic fields to suppress superconductivity has enabled a detailed study of the ground state in these systems. Yet, the direct effect of strong magnetic fields on the metallic behavior at low temperatures is poorly understood, especially near critical doping, $x=0.19$. Here we report a high-field magnetoresistance study of thin films of \LSCO cuprates in close vicinity to critical doping, $0.161\leq x\leq0.190$. We find that the metallic state exposed by suppressing superconductivity is characterized by a magnetoresistance that is linear in magnetic field up to the highest measured fields of $80$T. The slope of the linear-in-field resistivity is temperature-independent at very high fields. It mirrors the magnitude and doping evolution of the linear-in-temperature resistivity that has been ascribed to Planckian dissipation near a quantum critical point. This establishes true scale-invariant conductivity as the signature of the strange metal state in the high-temperature superconducting cuprates.

description: Let $k,N \in \mathbb{N}$ with $N$ square-free and $k>1$. We prove an orthogonal relation and use this to compute the Fourier coefficients of the Eisenstein part of any $f(z) \in M_{2k}(Γ_0(N))$ in terms of sum of divisors function. In particular, if $f(z) \in E_{2k}(Γ_0(N))$, then the computation will to yield to an expression for the Fourier coefficients of $f(z)$. Then we apply our main theorem to give formulas for convolution sums of the divisor function to extend the result by Ramanujan, and to eta quotients which yields to formulas for number of representations of integers by certain families of quadratic forms. At last we give essential results to derive similar results for modular forms in a more general setting.

description: We develop an approach to Goodwillie's calculus of functors using the techniques of higher topos theory. Central to our method is the introduction of the notion of fiberwise orthogonality, a strengthening of ordinary orthogonality which allows us to give a number of useful characterizations of the class of $n$-excisive maps. We use these results to show that the pushout product of a $P_n$-equivalence with a $P_m$-equivalence is a $P_{m+n+1}$-equivalence. Then, building on our previous work, we prove a Blakers-Massey type theorem for the Goodwillie tower. We show how to use the resulting techniques to rederive some foundational theorems in the subject, such as delooping of homogeneous functors.

description: By [arXiv:1604.00528], a list of possible holonomy algebras for pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with an indecomposable torsion free ${\rm G}_{2}^*$-structure is known. Here indecomposability means that the standard representation of the algebra on ${\mathbb R}^{4,3}$ does not leave invariant any proper non-degenerate subspace. The dimension of the socle of this representation is called the type of the Lie algebra. It is equal to one, two or three. In the present paper, we use Cartan's theory of exterior differential systems to show that all Lie algebras of Type I from the list in [arXiv:1604.00528] can indeed be realised as the holonomy of a local metric. All these Lie algebras are contained in the maximal parabolic subalgebra $\mathfrak p_1$ that stabilises one isotropic line of ${\mathbb R}^{4,3}$. In particular, we realise $\mathfrak p_1$ by a local metric.

title: Reversible solid oxide electrochemical system as seasonal energy storage in ultra-high renewable energy grid scenarios
Creators: name: Thatte, Amogh A.
Publisher: name: Colorado School of Mines Repository
Year: 2023

description: The electrochemical production of hydrogen by surplus variable renewable energy (VRE) can reduce the cost of future energy systems. Supported by favorable electric grid conditions and increasing research and development investments, large-scale power-to-gas (P2G) plants are increasingly being deployed worldwide. Techno-economic and energy planning analyses involving hydrogen production and energy storage typically take either "price-taker" or "production cost" modeling approaches, with the "price-taker" approach being predominant. However, given the increasing development and deployment of P2G plants, price-taker models based on the fundamental assumption that the presence of an individual P2G plant will not affect electric grid conditions are no longer valid. To address this issue, the present research uses a production cost model that minimizes the electric grid's total energy generation cost to capture the benefits of operating a utility-scale, grid-connected reversible electrolyzer plant. A generic methodology to analyze seasonal energy storage operating in an ultra-high VRE grid (> 90% integration levels) is developed, and a newly developed seasonal storage modeling methodology is then implemented to analyze the integration of a reversible solid-oxide electrolyzer system with such highly penetrated VRE grid scenarios. This research shows that the reversible solid-oxide system operating in an ultra-high VRE grid can reduce the annual electricity generation cost by 5-15% (subject to grid conditions).
High variability in the attractiveness of municipally-planted decorative plants to insects

description: Insect populations are declining globally. A major driver of this decline is land use change, including urbanisation. However, urban environments can also offer a wide range of floral resources to pollinators, through ornamental plantings, but these can vary widely in their attractiveness to insects. Often, the largest single planter of ornamental plants in an urban area is the municipality. Here we evaluated the decorative plantings carried out by the city municipality of Regensburg, Germany, by systematically surveying insect visitations on different plant types in late summer, when forage is often limited for pollinators. We found a 130-fold difference from the least to the most attractive plants, and high variation in which insect groups were attracted to which plants. While honey bees, which are not a conservation concern, were the most common insect visitors, some decorative plants attracted a very large proportion of wild bees, flies, and wasps. Our results demonstrate that there is great scope for increasing the supply of urban forage to pollinators in general, and specific groups in particular, without requiring new decorative plant types to be sourced or planted. We argue that providing local evidence-based guidance to municipalities offers a quick and potentially cost-neutral method for supporting urban insect populations.
Embedding of metric graphs on hyperbolic surfaces

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: An embedding of a metric graph $(G, d)$ on a closed hyperbolic surface is \emph{essential}, if each complementary region has a negative Euler characteristic. We show, by construction, that given any metric graph, its metric can be rescaled so that it admits an essential and isometric embedding on a closed hyperbolic surface. The essential genus $g_e(G)$ of $(G, d)$ is the lowest genus of a surface on which such an embedding is possible. In the next result, we establish a formula to compute $g_e(G)$. Furthermore, we show that for every integer $g\geq g_e(G)$, $(G, d)$ admits such an embedding (possibly after a rescaling of $d$) on a surface of genus $g$. Next, we study minimal embeddings where each complementary region has Euler characteristic $-1$. The maximum essential genus $g_e^{\max}(G)$ of $(G, d)$ is the largest genus of a surface on which the graph is minimally embedded. Finally, we describe a method explicitly for an essential embedding of $(G, d)$, where $g_e(G)$ and $g_e^{\max}(G)$ are realized.

description: The focal concerns framework is widely used in research on sentencing, although the empirical validity of the framework itself is seldom directly evaluated. To fill this gap, we use survey data from 134 trial court judges to examine two basic questions about the focal concerns framework: (1) How and to what extent do judges consider the original focal concerns of blameworthiness, community protection, and practical constraints in their sentencing decisions? (2) To what extent is perceived rehabilitation potential, or “redeemability,” considered by judges and should it become a fourth focal concern? Results based on open-ended survey questions reveal that judges continue to rely on the original focal concerns, but they operationalize these concerns in a variety of ways. Results further show that most judges are concerned about the rehabilitation potential, or “redeemability,” of defendants. Based on these results, we conclude that the focal concerns framework continues to be of value but that future research using the framework should consider adding redeemability/rehabilitation potential as a fourth focal concern. We caution, however, that some of the factors judges consider in connection with rehabilitation potential/redeemability could increase sentencing disparities.

description: We consider Fredholm determinants of the form identity minus product of spectral projections corresponding to isolated parts of the spectrum of a pair of self-adjoint operators. We show an identity relating such determinants to an integral over the spectral shift function in the case of a rank-one perturbation. More precisely, we prove $$ -\ln \left(\det \big(\mathbf{1} -\mathbf{1} _{I}(A) \mathbf{1}_{\mathbb R\backslash I}(B)\mathbf{1}_{I}(A)\big) \right) = \int_I \text{d} x \int_{\mathbb R\backslash I} \text{d} y\, \frac{ξ(x)ξ(y)}{(y-x)^2}, $$ where $\mathbf{1}_J (\cdot)$ denotes the spectral projection of a self-adjoint operator on a set $J\in \text{Borel}(\mathbb R)$. The operators $A$ and $B$ are self-adjoint, bounded from below and differ by a rank-one perturbation and $ξ$ denotes the corresponding spectral shift function. The set $I$ is a union of intervals on the real line such that its boundary lies in the resolvent set of $A$ and $B$ and such that the spectral shift function vanishes there i.e. $I$ contains isolated parts of the spectrum of $A$ and $B$. We apply this formula to the subspace perturbation problem.

description: By virtue of their ability to capture evidence of criminal behavior, body-worn cameras (BWCs) have been associated with enhanced investigations and prosecutions. To date, however, research on these outcomes has been inconsistent, and there has been no attempt to systematically review or synthesize the results of these studies. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 experimental and quasi-experimental studies examining the impact of BWCs on prosecutorial and court-related outcomes. In aggregate, we find no significant effects of BWCs across any reported outcome measure, however, we find that studies focused on domestic violence offenses are associated with significant and large treatment effects across most outcome measures. While these results show promise, extant domestic violence studies are generally quasi-experimental in nature, and thus the effect of crime type cannot currently be separated from that of research design. Policy implications and directions for future research are discussed.

description: We prove a large deviation principle for a sequence of point processes defined by Gibbs probability measures on a Polish space. This is obtained as a consequence of a more general Laplace principle for the non-normalized Gibbs measures. We consider three main applications: Conditional Gibbs measures on compact spaces, Coulomb gases on compact Riemannian manifolds and the usual Gibbs measures in the Euclidean space. Finally, we study the generalization of Fekete points and prove a deterministic version of the Laplace principle known as $Γ$-convergence. The approach is partly inspired by the works of Dupuis and co-authors. It is remarkably natural and general compared to the usual strategies for singular Gibbs measures.

Leicester City Wall in Sanvey Gate: Excavations in 1952

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2023

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 29, 15-29
description: By kind permission of Messrs. Dryad Ltd., owners of the site, cuttings were made in August 1952 across the presumed line of Leicester City Wall, in its northern sector, on a property situated between Sanvey Gate and Cumberland Street, seventy yards east of the site of the medieval East Gate, which was demolished in 1774. The excavations took place during the fortnight 7-20 August and were carried out under the auspices of the Leicester Museums and Libraries Committee and of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. The preliminary arrangements were made by Mr. David T.-D. Clarke, Keeper of Antiquities at Leicester Museum, who has also examined and reported on the coarse pottery found in the cuttings. The problem of the City Wall of Leicester was brilliantly assessed by the late Professor F. Haverfield in 1918, and the most recent infor-mation on this subject has been published by Mr. Clarke, who in 1950 cut a section across the eastern defences of the city, in Churchgate. Later disturbance had somewhat obscured the character of the Wall in Church-gate, and it was hoped that the Sanvey Gate site would prove more inform-ative and provide information as to both the character and the date of the defences. This hope has been, in the main, fulfilled; but it became clear at an early date in the excavations that the superstructure of the City Wall had been completely quarried away, a process which probably began soon after the Civil Wars-the last occasion on which Leicester's defences were put to practical test.

description: Optimal nitrate, phosphate and salinity for maximal biomass, lipid and carotenoid content of the freshwater microalga Kirchneriella obesa were investigated by using Box-Behnken Design. In an optimised condition, these three factors enhanced biomass production by 0.64 g/L more than the control (0.25 g/L). At 2.5 g/L nitrate, 0.04 g/L phosphate, and 25 mM NaCl, the maximum lipid accumulation (46.02%) and carotenoid content (2.58 mg/L) were achieved. The fit of the model yielded R2 values of up to 0.9955 for biomass, 0.9984 for lipids and 0.9999 for carotenoid, respectively. For the highest carbohydrate (418.28 mg/L) content, the medium was supplemented with 1.5 g/L nitrate, 0.04 g/L phosphate, and 40 mM NaCl. While the highest protein content (320.53 mg/L) was attributed to the medium with 3 g/L nitrate, 0.02 g/L phosphate and 25 mM NaCl. The major fatty acid compositions found in this algae were C18:1trans (16.36 ± 1.4), C18:1cis (6.001 ± 0.44), C18:2 (8.32 ± 1.1) and C18:3 (34.39 ± 2.3%), demonstrating their importance in biofuel production and human health.

description: We study accretion driven turbulence for different inflow velocities in star forming filaments using the code ramses. Filaments are rarely isolated objects and their gravitational potential will lead to radially dominated accretion. In the non-gravitational case, accretion by itself can already provoke non-isotropic, radially dominated turbulent motions responsible for the complex structure and non-thermal line widths observed in filaments. We find that there is a direct linear relation between the absolute value of the total density weighted velocity dispersion and the infall velocity. The turbulent velocity dispersion in the filaments is independent of sound speed or any net flow along the filament. We show that the density weighted velocity dispersion acts as an additional pressure term supporting the filament in hydrostatic equilibrium. Comparing to observations, we find that the projected non-thermal line width variation is generally subsonic independent of inflow velocity.

description: The square $C^{*2}$ of a linear error correcting code $C$ is the linear code spanned by the component-wise products of every pair of (non-necessarily distinct) words in $C$. Squares of codes have gained attention for several applications mainly in the area of cryptography, and typically in those applications one is concerned about some of the parameters (dimension, minimum distance) of both $C^{*2}$ and $C$. In this paper, motivated mostly by the study of this problem in the case of linear codes defined over the binary field, squares of cyclic codes are considered. General results on the minimum distance of the squares of cyclic codes are obtained and constructions of cyclic codes $C$ with relatively large dimension of $C$ and minimum distance of the square $C^{*2}$ are discussed. In some cases, the constructions lead to codes $C$ such that both $C$ and $C^{*2}$ simultaneously have the largest possible minimum distances for their length and dimensions.

description: We generalize to the case of singular blocks the result in \cite{BeLa} that describes the center of the principal block of a small quantum group in terms of sheaf cohomology over the Springer resolution. Then using the method developed in \cite{LQ1}, we present a linear algebro-geometric approach to compute the dimensions of the singular blocks and of the entire center of the small quantum group associated with a complex semisimple Lie algebra. A conjectural formula for the dimension of the center of the small quantum group at an $l$th root of unity is formulated in type A.

description: In this study, thermodynamic and economic analyses of binary fuel blends (E15, EA15, M15, MA15, and T15) using commercial gasoline as fuel and oxygenated fuel additives (ethanol, ethyl acetate, methanol, methyl acetate, and terpineol) at 15% by volume in a spark-ignition engine were performed. Performance and emission tests were carried out at various engine loads at a constant speed of 1500 rpm using commercial gasoline and five different fuel blends. Thermodynamic analyses were carried out on the test data. The augmentation in engine load caused an increase in exergy losses and a decrease in the unit cost of engine power exergy values. Specifically for gasoline fuel, the unit cost of engine power exergy at 25% engine load is 1.99 times higher than at 100% load. In fuel blends, the pump price of each fuel affects the fuel cost rate. Exergy efficiency in fuel blends increases with increasing engine load. The highest exergy efficiency is 19.58% for gasoline fuel at 100% engine load. It is 15.95% for M15 fuel at the same load. The exergy values of G100 and T15 fuel were closest to each other and T15 offered better energetic and exergetic performance than the other binary blends.

description: Though not a part of mainstream physics, Salam's theory of strong gravity remains a viable effective model for the description of strong interactions in the gauge singlet sector of QCD, capable of producing particle confinement and asymptotic freedom, but not of reproducing interactions involving $SU(3)$ colour charge. It may therefore be used to explore the stability and confinement of gauge singlet hadrons, though not to describe scattering processes that require colour interactions. It is a two-tensor theory of both strong interactions and gravity, in which the strong tensor field is governed by equations formally identical to the Einstein equations, apart from the coupling parameter, which is of order $1 \ \rm GeV^{-1}$. We revisit the strong gravity theory and investigate the strong gravity field equations in the presence of a mixing term which induces an effective {\it strong cosmological constant}, $Λ_{f}$. This introduces a {\it strong de Sitter radius} for strongly interacting fermions, producing a confining bubble, which allows us to identify $Λ_{f}$ with the `bag constant' of the MIT bag model, $B \simeq 2 \times 10^{14} \rm gcm^{-3}$. Assuming a static, spherically symmetric geometry, we derive the strong gravity TOV equation, which describes the equilibrium properties of compact hadronic objects. From this, we determine the generalised Buchdahl inequalities for a strong gravity `particle', giving rise to upper and lower bounds on the mass/radius ratio of stable, compact, strongly interacting objects. We show, explicitly, that the existence of the lower mass bound is induced by the presence of $Λ_f$, producing a mass gap, and that the upper bound corresponds to a deconfinement phase transition. The physical implications of our results for holographic duality in the context of the AdS/QCD and dS/QCD correspondences are also discussed.

description: We describe a first principles method to calculate scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images, and compare the results to well-characterized experiments combining STM with atomic force microscopy (AFM). The theory is based on density functional theory (DFT) with a localized basis set, where the wave functions in the vacuum gap are computed by propagating the localized-basis wave functions into the gap using a real-space grid. Constant-height STM images are computed using Bardeen's approximation method, including averaging over the reciprocal space. We consider copper adatoms and single CO molecules adsorbed on Cu(111), scanned with a single-atom copper tip with and without CO functionalization. The calculated images agree with state-of-the-art experiments, where the atomic structure of the tip apex is determined by AFM. The comparison further allows for detailed interpretation of the STM images.

The Leicestershire Country Parson in the Sixteenth Century

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 21, 89-114
description: A good deal has been written of the religious changes of the sixteenth century, and it is not the purpose of this paper to speak of these. We shall consider here the more material side of the country parson's existence, his income, his house and furniture, and his worldly goods in general. The wills of the parish clergy in the sixteenth century, and more especially the inventories of their personal estate made after death for purposes of probate, tell us a good deal of the material side of their lives. In Leicester-shire, as elsewhere, they were mostly poor men, living their obscure lives in remote country parishes, never becoming known to the outside world exoept for some occasional misdemeanour or lapse that the archdeacon had brought to his notice at his periodical visitation.
Murder and Sudden Death in Medieval Wigston

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 21, 175-186
description: IN the short space of ninety-one years, between 1299 and 1390, the people of Wigston were involved in no fewer than eight cases of murder or manslaughter. They were probably no more murderously inclined than other people in medieval days and we must regard this number of violent deaths as typical of the time. In each of these eight cases, moreover, the guilty man received a royal pardon; it is the recording of the pardon among the patent rolls that has preserved for us the memory of these old crimes. Who knows how many more such violent deeds occurred of which we have no record to-day, how many screams in the night from a dark lane or a solitary field? An outlying part of the fields of Wigston was, indeed, known in the fourteenth century as "the robbers' valley'' and another part as ''the robbers' pasture'' .

description: Bacterial colonies are abundant on living and nonliving surfaces and are known to mediate a broad range of processes in ecology, medicine, and industry. Although extensively researched, from single cells to demographic scales, a comprehensive biomechanical picture, highlighting the cell-to-colony dynamics, is still lacking. Here, using molecular dynamics simulations and continuous modeling, we investigate the geometrical and mechanical properties of a bacterial colony growing on a substrate with a free boundary and demonstrate that such an expanding colony self-organizes into a "mosaic" of microdomains consisting of highly aligned cells. The emergence of microdomains is mediated by two competing forces: the steric forces between neighboring cells, which favor cell alignment, and the extensile stresses due to cell growth that tend to reduce the local orientational order and thereby distort the system. This interplay results in an exponential distribution of the domain areas and sets a characteristic length scale proportional to the square root of the ratio between the system orientational stiffness and the magnitude of the extensile active stress. Our theoretical predictions are finally compared with experiments with freely growing E. coli microcolonies, finding quantitative agreement.

description: We provide a derivation of the Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) filter for multi-target tracking with the standard point target measurements without using probability generating functionals or functional derivatives. We also establish the connection with the δ-generalised labelled multi-Bernoulli (δ-GLMB) filter, showing that a δ-GLMB density represents a multi-Bernoulli mixture with labelled targets so it can be seen as a special case of PMBM. In addition, we propose an implementation for linear/Gaussian dynamic and measurement models and how to efficiently obtain typical estimators in the literature from the PMBM. The PMBM filter is shown to outperform other filters in the literature in a challenging scenario.
