description: We investigate collective phenomena with rotationally driven spinners of concave shape. Each spinner experiences a constant internal torque in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Although the spinners are modeled as hard, otherwise non-interacting rigid bodies, we find that their active motion induces an effective interaction that favors rotation in the same direction. With increasing density and activity, phase separation occurs via spinodal decomposition, as well as self-organization into rotating crystals. We observe the emergence of cooperative, super-diffusive motion along interfaces, which can transport inactive test particles. Our results demonstrate novel phase behavior of actively rotated particles that is not possible with linear propulsion or in non-driven, equilibrium systems of identical hard particles.

description: "This paper analyzes the naval variable in the current U.S.-China relationship and addresses these questions in five sections. First, I elaborate on the role of naval power and its enduring importance in the face of air power, nuclear weapons, and globalization. Second, I discuss what the current U.S. threat perception is and its contributing factors. I argue that, as of spring 2009, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy does not present a general naval threat to the United States. This is due to a PLA Navy modernization effort that has been partially ineffective and that is aimed primarily at Taiwan rather than global power projection. Third, I outline the steps China’s navy would take for the United States to develop a threat perception sufficient to alter its China policy. Fourth, I discuss policy implications for the U.S.-China relationship in the event of a naval arms race. Finally, I examine the theoretical implications that this chapter holds for the United States, China, and international relations and the power transitions that could occur therein.."--from pages 104-105

description: We investigate instability and dynamical properties of nanoelectromechanical systems represented by a single-electron device containing movable quantum dot attached to a vibrating cantilever via asymmetric tunnel contact. The Kondo resonance in electron tunneling between source and shuttle facilitates self-sustained oscillations originated from strong coupling of mechanical and electronic/spin degrees of freedom. We analyze stability diagram for two-channel Kondo shuttling regime due to limitations given by the electromotive force acting on a moving shuttle and find that the saturation amplitude of oscillation is associated with the retardation effect of Kondo-cloud. The results shed light on possible ways of experimental realization of dynamical probe for the Kondo-cloud by using high tunability of mechanical dissipation as well as supersensitive detection of mechanical displacement.

description: The Gaia satellite will survey the entire celestial sphere down to 20th magnitude, obtaining astrometry, photometry, and low resolution spectrophotometry on one billion astronomical sources, plus radial velocities for over one hundred million stars. Its main objective is to take a census of the stellar content of our Galaxy, with the goal of revealing its formation and evolution. Gaia's unique feature is the measurement of parallaxes and proper motions with hitherto unparalleled accuracy for many objects. As a survey, the physical properties of most of these objects are unknown. Here we describe the data analysis system put together by the Gaia consortium to classify these objects and to infer their astrophysical properties using the satellite's data. This system covers single stars, (unresolved) binary stars, quasars, and galaxies, all covering a wide parameter space. Multiple methods are used for many types of stars, producing multiple results for the end user according to different models and assumptions. Prior to its application to real Gaia data the accuracy of these methods cannot be assessed definitively. But as an example of the current performance, we can attain internal accuracies (RMS residuals) on F,G,K,M dwarfs and giants at G=15 (V=15-17) for a wide range of metallicites and interstellar extinctions of around 100K in effective temperature (Teff), 0.1mag in extinction (A0), 0.2dex in metallicity ([Fe/H]), and 0.25dex in surface gravity (logg). The accuracy is a strong function of the parameters themselves, varying by a factor of more than two up or down over this parameter range. After its launch in November 2013, Gaia will nominally observe for five years, during which the system we describe will continue to evolve in light of experience with the real data.

description: It is convenient to calibrate time-of-flight cameras by established methods, using images of a chequerboard pattern. The low resolution of the amplitude image, however, makes it difficult to detect the board reliably. Heuristic detection methods, based on connected image-components, perform very poorly on this data. An alternative, geometrically-principled method is introduced here, based on the Hough transform. The projection of a chequerboard is represented by two pencils of lines, which are identified as oriented clusters in the gradient-data of the image. A projective Hough transform is applied to each of the two clusters, in axis-aligned coordinates. The range of each transform is properly bounded, because the corresponding gradient vectors are approximately parallel. Each of the two transforms contains a series of collinear peaks; one for every line in the given pencil. This pattern is easily detected, by sweeping a dual line through the transform. The proposed Hough-based method is compared to the standard OpenCV detection routine, by application to several hundred time-of-flight images. It is shown that the new method detects significantly more calibration boards, over a greater variety of poses, without any overall loss of accuracy. This conclusion is based on an analysis of both geometric and photometric error.

description: We report rotation periods, variability characteristics, gyrochronological ages for ~950 of the Kepler Object of Interest host stars. We find a wide dispersion in the amplitude of the photometric variability as a function of rotation, likely indicating differences in the spot distribution among stars. We use these rotation periods in combination with published spectroscopic measurements of vsini and stellar parameters to derive the stellar inclination in the line-of-sight, and find a number of systems with possible spin-orbit misalignment. We additionally find several systems with close-in planet candidates whose stellar rotation periods are equal to or twice the planetary orbital period, indicative of possible tidal interactions between these planets and their parent stars. If these systems survive validation to become confirmed planets, they will provide important clues to the evolutionary history of these systems.

description: Fashion discounters face the problem of ordering the right amount of pieces in each size of a product. The product is ordered in pre-packs containing a certain size-mix of a product. For this so-called lot-type design problem, a stochastic mixed integer linear programm was developed, in which price cuts serve as recourse action for oversupply. Our goal is to answer the question, whether the resulting supply strategy leads to a supply that is significantly more consistent with the demand for sizes compared to the original manual planning. Since the total profit is influenced by too many factors unrelated to sizes (like the popularity of the product, the weather or a changing economic situation), we suggest a comparison method which excludes many outer effects by construction. We apply the method to a real-world field study: The improvements in the size distributions of the supply are significant.

Understanding the Roots of the Iranian Revolution: Assessing the Power, Influence and Social Position of Shi’ite Ulama in Iran, 1890-1979

description: "Following the theoretical framework employed by Ervand Abrahamian, this work aims to elucidate the diverse and distinctive populist, nationalist, and Islamist tendencies and strategies employed by the nominal leader of the Iranian Revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini (Abrahamian 1982). It does this by exploring the historical role of the clerical class in Iran, a country with a large Shiite majority. By utilizing the theories of political development and state building employed by Barrington Moore and Charles Tilly, we have the tools to better examine and comprehend the influence and power of the Shiite mujtahids (Shiite religious scholars who are empowered to interpret legal issues not explicitly addressed in Quran), a topic that has confounded many analysts and policymakers. Through an examination of the position of Shiite clerics in relation to both the dominant mode of production and the processes of state-making, the ulama are unmasked and revealed as to be a social category or occupational group defined by its distinctive religious and occupational functions that has proven to be ideologically malleable, intellectually flexible, and concretely responsive to the political, economic, and social milieu that surrounds it.
Although our task is limited to explaining the variation in mujtahid influence over the past century, this work will contribute to the literature on Twelver Shiite forms, the role of Iranian ulama in Iran's politics and foreign policy. It informs U.S. and Western foreign policy-makers who are interested in the power structure of a country that may be pursuing a nuclear weapons capability. My findings directly challenge the popular narrative that portrays Islamic revolutionaries and overtly Shiite political actors as ideologically-driven, religious fanatics."--from pages

description: In literature usual point like symmetries of the Lagrangian have been introduced to study the symmetries and the structure of the fields. This kind of Noether symmetry is a subclass of a more general family of symmetries, called Noether Gauge Symmetries (NGS). Motivated by this mathematical tool, in this article, we discuss the generalized Noether symmetry of Quintom model of dark energy, which is a two component fluid model of quintessence and phantom fields. Our model is a generalization of the Noether symmetries of a single and multiple components which have been investigated in detail before. We found the general form of the quintom potential in which the whole dynamical system has a point like symmetry. We investigated different possible solutions of the system for diverse family of gauge function. Specially, we discovered two family of potentials, one corresponds to a free quintessence (phantom) and the second is in the form of quadratic interaction between two components. These two families of potential functions are proposed from the symmetry point of view, but in the quintom models they are used as phenomenological models without clear mathematical justification. From integrability point of view, we found two forms of the scale factor: one is power law and second is de-Sitter. Some cosmological implications of the solutions have been investigated

description: The branchings fractions of the rare $B_s$ decays are calculated in the framework of the QCD-motivated relativistic quark model. The form factors of the weak $B_s$ transitions to light mesons are expressed through the overlap integral of the initial and final meson wave functions in the whole accessible kinematical range. Explicit determination of the momentum transfer dependence of the form factors without additional model assumptions and extrapolations significantly improve the reliability of the obtained results. The approximate analytical form of the form factors is given in order to simplify the comparison with other predictions and experiment. The calculated form factors are applied for the investigations of the rare semileptonic, radiative and nonleptonic $B_s$ decays. The factorization approximation is used for the description of the nonleptonic decays. All results agree well with available experimental data.

description: "Japan attaches great importance to the upcoming UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) and its preparatory process. Japan is particularly concerned about the ongoing negotiations on the Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the forest agreement, which it hopes will be completed in time for the UNCED. Contrary to industrial giants, like the United States who have failed to set limits for emissions of gases that contribute to global warning, Japan has been committed to making the sacrifices necessary to foster environmentally sound and sustainable development. The delegation representing Japan is also a key contributor to the development of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) which provides grants to be used to explore ways of assisting developing countries to protect the global environment and to transfer environmentally benign technologies. Japan is again taking a leadership role in addressing global environmental issues while countries such as the United States refuse to contribute to the core fund of the GEF. In the past three years, Japan has committed itself to providing 300 billion yen ($2.2 billion) in bilateral and multilateral assistance to protect the environment. As the concern for environmental balance grows in the world, Japan, with its technical expertise and financial resources, is at the cutting edge in formulating solutions.
The following interview with the Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Mr. Yoshio Hatano, was held on 20 February 1991, two weeks prior to the fourth and final preparatory committee meeting for the UNCED."--from page 4

description: We report a versatile and cost-effective way of controlling the unsaturated loss, modulation depth and saturation fluence of graphene-based saturable absorbers (GSAs), by changing the thickness of a spacer between SLG and a high-reflection mirror. This allows us to modulate the electric field intensity enhancement at the GSA from 0 up to 400%, due to the interference of incident and reflected light at the mirror. The unsaturated loss of the SLG-mirror-assembly can be reduced to$\sim$0. We use this to mode-lock a VECSEL from 935 to 981nm. This approach can be applied to integrate SLG into various optical components, such as output coupler mirrors, dispersive mirrors, dielectric coatings on gain materials. Conversely, it can also be used to increase absorption (up to 10%) in various graphene based photonics and optoelectronics devices, such as photodetectors.

description: Recent neutron scattering experiments on the spin-1/2 kagome lattice antiferromagnet ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 (Herbertsmithite) provide the first evidence of fractionalized excitations in a quantum spin liquid state in two spatial dimensions. In contrast to existing theoretical models of spin liquids, the measured dynamic structure factor reveals an excitation continuum which is remarkably flat as a function of frequency and has almost no momentum dependence along several high-symmetry directions. Here we show that many experimentally observed features can be explained by the presence of topological vison excitations in a Z2 spin liquid. These visons form flat bands on the kagome lattice, and thus act as a momentum sink for spin-carrying excitations which are probed by neutron scattering. We compute the dynamic structure factor for two different Z2 spin liquids and find that one of them describes Herbertsmithite well above a very low energy cutoff.

description: In recent years, design has become a main theme in administration of Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Under this theme of design, many projects have taken place, including a number of public constructions. While the purpose behind supporting “design” as the symbol of Korea is to promote a new national image of post-developed nation, some of the Seoul government’s design projects yielded unintended side effects. This paper analyzes the discrepancy between the professed rationale of these projects and the actual consequences through the case of Gwanghwamun and Dongdaemun, and suggests a possible direction for the future of design in Korean politics.

Subjects: subject: Americans

description: "This article can explore only a bit of the American ideology which is reflected in the current fascination with Japan, beginning with the premise that Japan has become an ideological image. What Americans understand of Japan (in popular rather than academic circles) is not contextualized as part of Japan's history, social hierarchy, or cultural system; rather, these symbols are used to define the Japanese as culturally and socially aberrant when compared to the American standard. Focal points in this discussion of the Japanese include emphasis on long work weeks, quiescence of Japanese labor, and the relative homogeneity of the labor force with the idea that prevailing American assumptions about Japanese labor do not present an accurate picture of the Japanese reality. Instead, they seem to expose an American preoccupation with American labor. The search for cultural reasons for Japanese success is obscure. To Americans, Japanese are the perverts of Michael Crichton's Rising Sun, while at the same time strange echoes of the 1950s in America. It is as if Americans can only accept the 1950s image of a successful Cold War economic power. The social structure, "family values," and work ethic of that past success were the basis of US economic success."--from page 1

description: In a class of 2D CFTs with higher spin symmetry, we compute thermal two-point functions of certain scalar primary operators in the presence of nonzero chemical potential for higher spin charge. These are shown to agree with the same quantity calculated holographically using scalar fields propagating in a charged black hole background of 3D higher spin gravity. This match serves as further evidence for the duality between W_N minimal models at large central charge and 3D higher spin gravity. It also supports a recent prescription for computing boundary correlators of multi-trace scalar primary operators in higher spin theories.

description: "When Yoshio Sakurauchi, the Speaker of the Lower House of the Japanese Diet, spoke of the inferiority of American labor, a strange chemical behavior plagued Americans, as if the remark had been a long-awaited confirmation of weekly news opinion polls. Americans seem to feel the loss of Japanese respect as gravely as any economic loss. While radical groups in other nations may burn the US flag daily, Americans focus on the condescension of one Japanese politician. This heightened sensitivity to the opinions of the Japanese may reflect a fear that the Japanese will deprive US citizens of the post-occupation status enjoyed for so long in this country. Americans enjoy Japanese deference to their customs, industries, culture, military influence, and civilian presence. During a year of living in Japanese homes, attending a Japanese high school, and struggling with traditions I still do not understand, I found that the Japanese populace holds Americans in high regard, even if that respect is not voiced by the political elite."--from page 6

We use the method of convex integration in the spirit of the recent work of C.DeLellis and L.Szekelyhidi to show various counterexamples to well-posedness. On the other hand, we conjecture that the principle of maximal dissipation should be retained as a possible criterion of uniqueness as it is violated by the oscillatory solutions obtained in the process of convex integration.

A Trend Between Cold Debris Disk Temperature and Stellar Type: Implications for the Formation and Evolution of Wide-Orbit Planets

description: Cold debris disks trace the limits of planet formation or migration in the outer regions of planetary systems, and thus have the potential to answer many of the outstanding questions in wide-orbit planet formation and evolution. We characterized the infrared excess spectral energy distributions of 174 cold debris disks around 546 main-sequence stars observed by both Spitzer IRS and MIPS. We found a trend between the temperature of the inner edges of cold debris disks and the stellar type of the stars they orbit. This argues against the importance of strictly temperature-dependent processes (e.g. non-water ice lines) in setting the dimensions of cold debris disks. Also, we found no evidence that delayed stirring causes the trend. The trend may result from outward planet migration that traces the extent of the primordial protoplanetary disk, or it may result from planet formation that halts at an orbital radius limited by the efficiency of core accretion.

description: We analyze a prominence-like cool plasma structure as observed by Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). We perform the Differential Emission Measure (DEM) analysis using various filters of AIA, and also deduce the temperature and density structure in and around the observed flux-tube. In addition to deducing plasma parameters, we also find an evidence of multiple harmonics of fast magnetoacoustic kink waves in the observed prominence-like magnetic structure. Making use of estimated plasma parameters and observed wave parameters, under the baseline of MHD seismology, we deduce magnetic field in the flux-tube. The wave period ratio P1/P2 = 2.18 is also observed in the flux-tube, which carries the signature of magnetic field divergence where we estimate the tube expansion factor as 1.27. We discuss constraints in the estimation of plasma and magnetic field properties in such a structure in the current observational perspective, which may shed new light on the localized plasma dynamics and heating scenario in the solar atmosphere.

description: Η αξιολόγηση των συνθηκών αμπελοκαλλιέργειας για την ποιότητα του οίνου είναι μια πολύπλοκη και πολυπαραγοντική διαδικασία που απαιτεί την εξέταση διαφόρων παραγόντων, όπως το κλίμα, το έδαφος και οι ανθρώπινες παρεμβάσεις. Ωστόσο, η σχέση μεταξύ των συνθηκών καλλιέργειας αμπέλου και της ποιότητας του οίνου δεν είναι πάντα ξεκάθαρη και απαιτείται περαιτέρω έρευνα για να κατανοηθούν οι περίπλοκες αλληλεπιδράσεις μεταξύ των διαφόρων παραγόντων και των επιπτώσεών τους στην ποιότητά του. Στην παρούσα μελέτη, διεθνείς και γηγενείς ποικιλίες μελετήθηκαν σε δύο περιοχές της Ελλάδας, στην Κρήτη και στην Μακεδονία, με σκοπό να διερευνηθεί η επίδραση των κλιματικών και γεωλογικών παραγόντων πάνω τους. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν πως τα δείγματα που προήλθαν από την Κρήτη έχουν επηρεαστεί από τα έντονα καιρικά φαινόμενα τα οποία παρουσιάζουν αυξανόμενη συχνότητα εμφάνισης, ενώ στη Μακεδονία η επίδραση των αλλαγών του κλίματος ήταν λιγότερο εμφανής. Στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις παρατηρήθηκε πρωίμιση των περισσότερων φαινολογικών σταδίων του βλαστικού κύκλου, γρηγορότερη σακχαρική ωρίμανση και μείωση της οξύτητας. Ως μέτρο αντιμετώπισης για τη διατήρηση της ποιότητας, οι παραγωγοί επιλέγουν τον πρώιμο τρύγο ενώ ταυτόχρονα εμφανίζεται μία τάση για χρήση όψιμων ποικιλιών ή ποικιλιών με προέλευση από νότιες περιοχές που θεωρούνται ανθεκτικότερες σε ξηροθερμικές συνθήκες, καθώς αυτές, προβλέπεται να γίνουν εντονότερες στη περιοχή της μεσογείου τα επόμενα χρόνια.

description: We explore tree-level amplitude relations for SU(N)xSU(M) bi-fundamental matter theories. Embedding the group-theory structure in a Lie three-algebra, we derive Kleiss-Kuijf-like relations for bi-fundamental matter theories in general dimension. We investigate the three-algebra color-kinematics duality for these theories. Unlike the Yang-Mills two-algebra case, the three-algebra Bern-Carrasco-Johansson relations depend on the spacetime dimension and on the detailed symmetry properties of the structure constants. We find the presence of such relations in three and two dimensions, and absence in D>3. Surprisingly, beyond six point, such relations are absent in the Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena theory for general gauge group, while the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory, and its supersymmetry truncations, obey the color-kinematics duality like clockwork. At four and six points the relevant partial amplitudes of the two theories are bijectively related, explaining previous results in the literature. In D=2 the color-kinematics duality gives results consistent with integrability of two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=16$ supergravity: The four-point amplitude satisfies a Yang-Baxter equation; the six- and eight-point amplitudes vanish for certain kinematics away from factorization channels, as expected from integrability.

description: "Child abuse has been documented in American society for many years. Until the late 1960s, however, little had been done to protect the rights of minors in part due to the widespread view that family problems are a private matter and are not the government's responsibility. This article will analyze public policy towards abused children and examine the role of the government bureaucracy in handling their cases."--from page 8

description: Τα συνέδρια είναι και θα είναι το μέσο με το οποίο μεταλαμπαδεύεται η γνώση ενός θέματος στους ανθρώπους. Εδώ και πάρα πολλές δεκαετίες, οι άνθρωποι είχαν την ανάγκη να επικοινωνήσουν, να συζητήσουν, να έρθουν σε αντιπαράθεση, να συμφωνήσουν, να αλληλοεπιδράσουν και να φτάσουν σε συμπεράσματα που θα μπορέσουν σε να τους ανοίξουν νέους ορίζοντες, να προβούν σε νέες ιδέες, να εξελιχθούν και στο τέλος φυσικά να κάνουν βήματα ανάπτυξης, μέσω της βιωματικής έρευνας και να απέχουν παρασάγγας πια από το αρχικό σημείο εκκίνησης. Η συγκεκριμένη εργασία στοχεύει στην μελέτη του συνεδριακού «προϊόντος» σε γενικό και ειδικό πλαίσιο, το πως ξεκίνησε το ιατρικό συνέδριο, πως συνέχισε την πορεία του, τις διακυμάνσεις που πέρασε και πως τελικά «επιβίωσε» στην προ Covid-19 εποχή, κατά την διάρκεια αυτής και φυσικά και στην μετέπειτα περίοδο. Θα παρουσιαστεί η βαρύνουσα σημασία της επιλογής του στρατηγικού μάνατζμεντ κα κατ΄επέκταση του μάρκετινγκ στο συγκεκριμένο κλάδο. Ταυτόχρονα θα αναλυθεί η έννοια και τα ευρύτερα οφέλη του ψηφιακού μετασχηματισμού των επιχειρήσεων και των λειτουργιών τους, με ειδική αναφορά στην χώρα μας. Θα προχωρήσουμε σε μια παρουσίαση του γενικότερου κλάδου και των φορέων διοργάνωσης ιατρικών συνεδρίων. Στην συνέχεια θα μελετήσουμε την περίπτωση της εταιρείας Eventure, η οποία δραστηριοποιείται στον εν λόγω κλάδο και διαθέτει μακρόχρονη και εξειδικευμένη εμπειρίας.

Τέλος θα παρουσιαστεί μια εκτενής έρευνα η οποία πραγματοποιείται με την μέθοδο των συνεντεύξεων των στελεχών της μελετώμενης εταιρείας και η εργασία μας θα κλείσει παρουσιάζοντας τα συμπεράσματα όλης της μελέτης αναφορικά με τον ψηφιακό μετασχηματισμό των συνεδρίων.

description: We present temporal evolution of the spin Seebeck effect in a YIG|Pt bilayer system. Our findings reveal that this effect is a sub-microseconds fast phenomenon governed by the temperature gradient and the thermal magnons diffusion in the magnetic materials. A comparison of experimental results with the thermal-driven magnon-diffusion model shows that the temporal behavior of this effect depends on the time development of the temperature gradient in the vicinity of the YIG|Pt interface. The effective thermal-magnon diffusion length for YIG|Pt systems is estimated to be around 700nm.
