description: In social networks, the collective behavior of large populations can be shaped by a small set of influencers through a cascading process induced by "peer pressure". For large-scale networks, efficient identification of multiple influential spreaders with a linear algorithm in threshold models that exhibit a first-order transition still remains a challenging task. Here we address this issue by exploring the collective influence in general threshold models of behavior cascading. Our analysis reveals that the importance of spreaders is fixed by the subcritical paths along which cascades propagate: the number of subcritical paths attached to each spreader determines its contribution to global cascades. The concept of subcritical path allows us to introduce a linearly scalable algorithm for massively large-scale networks. Results in both synthetic random graphs and real networks show that the proposed method can achieve larger collective influence given same number of seeds compared with other linearly scalable heuristic approaches.

description: The Astronomical Genealogy Project (AstroGen) has been underway since January 2013. This project of the Historical Astronomy Division (HAD) of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) has been online since July 2020, courtesy of the AAS. The volunteers of the AstroGen team have systematically searched online directories, mostly at individual university libraries, for astronomy-related doctoral theses equivalent to the modern, research-based Ph.D. We now claim to be 'nearly complete' for 38 countries, although some have not been updated for a year or two or three. The website contains a page for each astronomer and advisor, with links to the persons, universities, institutes, and the theses themselves. More than two-thirds of the theses are online in full, although some require access to a library with a subscription. There is information about nearly 37,000 individuals who have earned astronomy-related doctorates and another 5400 who have supervised them, but may not have earned such degrees themselves. Most of the latter have not yet been evaluated, but probably a majority earned doctorates in other fields, such as physics or geology. We present some of the results of our research and discuss ten ways the reader might make use of the project.

description: Kommunikationstrainings haben sich als relativ eigenständiges Segment betrieblicher Weiterbildung etabliert. Dieser Aufsatz will zu einer stärkeren wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit diesem spezifischen Bildungssegment anregen und auf mögliche Forschungsfragen hinweisen. Es wird die These vertreten, daß Kommunikationstrainings nach einer Wachstumsphase in den achtziger Jahren nunmehr deutliche Krisenerscheinungen aufweisen. Seminarerfahrene TeilnehmerInnen stellen neuartige Ansprüche, auf welche erfolgsverwöhnte TrainerInnen nur unzureichend vorbereitet sind. Während die methodisch-didaktische Entwicklung _ abgekoppelt von der berufspädagogischen Forschung _ stagniert, versuchen Betriebe in neuem Maßstab, Trainings für Organisationszwecke zu instrumentalisieren. Es zeichnen sich Tendenzen in Richtung auf ein noch breiteres und diffuseres Aktionsfeld für TrainerInnen ab. Auch wenn eine stärkere formale Regelung dieses Bildungssegments wenig aussichtsreich erscheint, wird für kollektive Strategien zur Interessenvertretung auf Trainerseite und die Schaffung größerer Transparenz in einer eigendynamischen Entwicklung durch sozialwissenschaftliche Forschung plädiert.
description: Communication training techniques have developed as a relatively independent segment of further vocational training. The aim of this article is to initiate a more intense scientific debate of this specific sector of further education and to refer to relevant questions which are likely to occur. We suggest that, after a booming phase in the Eighties, the sector of communication training is now approaching a critical stage. Regular seminary participants now claim to have different demands to what is being provided so far by complacent trainers who are not sufficiently prepared for these new requirements. While the methodical-didactic development independent from professional educational research has come to a standstill, companies are trying to instrumentalize training for organisational purposes. There is a tendency towards an even wider and more diffused field of practice for trainers. Even if a more formal regimentation of this further educational segment appears to have little prospects, we plead for collective strategies in respect of a representation of interests on the trainer's side and for more transparency in this self dynamic development through social sciences research.

description: Der durch den wirtschaftlichen Strukturwandel erzwungene und in den letzten zehn Jahren stark beschleunigte Personalabbau in Betrieben und Unternehmen hat einen Umfang angenommen, der mit dem klassischen Konzept des "goldenen Handschlags" nicht mehr zu bewältigen ist (1.). Statt der immer weiter vorverlegten Ausgliederung älterer ArbeitnehmerInnen (teilweise ab 50 Jahren) durch Sozialpläne sind in den letzten Jahren Konzepte und Ansätze frühzeitiger und betriebsnaher Arbeitsmarktpolitik (2.) entwickelt und erprobt worden, die betrieblichen Personalabbau als Vermittlung in neue Arbeitsverhältnisse (Mobilitätsförderung) praktizieren. Dieser Beitrag stellt den Ansatz der Mobilitätsförderung vor und definiert Grundanforderungen (3.) an dessen Umsetzung. Er bezieht sich vor allem auf die Praxis neuer Ansätze frühzeitiger und betriebsnaher Arbeitsmarktpolitik in den alten Bundesländern der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und in Österreich (ÖSB).

Dieser Verhaltensbereich hat seit den 80er Jahren das verstärkte Interesse der Forschung in den angelsächsischen Ländern gefunden. Nach einem kurzen Überblick über erste Konzeptionen des Extra-Rollenverhaltens und seiner aktuellen Bedeutung wird der Stand der Forschung skizziert. Bislang dominieren Versuche, die dimensionale Struktur aus Sicht der Unternehmen zu bestimmen, die Sicht der Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter wurde dagegen weitgehend vernachlässigt. In einer qualitativen Studie wurde daher mit der Methode kritischer Ereignisse deren Perspektive exploriert.

description: Am Beispiel einer Job rotation, die der Autor in der betrieblichen Praxis eines Automobilunternehmens drei Jahre durchführte, werden die Erfahrungen eines Hochschullehrers als "Manager auf Zeit" in diversen Abteilungen eines Betriebes dargestellt. Als Professor für Arbeitspsychologie versuchte er die theoretischen Kenntnisse über die Einführung neuer Arbeitsformen und Managementmethoden in der konkreten Alltagsarbeit umzusetzen. Im Beitrag werden u.a. die zentralen Konflikte geschildert, die z.B. bei der Einführung von Gruppenarbeit in Projekt- und Steuerteams, der "optimalen" Arbeitsstrukturierung etc. aufgetreten sind. Am Ende steht eine Reflexion über die Dynamik von Organisationen, den Potentialen der Praxistätigkeit von Wissenschaftlern in arbeitswissenschaftlichen Kompetenzzentren und welche Konsequenzen aus den Erfahrungen für die erforderliche Gestaltungskompetenz von Arbeitswissenschaftlern in Forschung und Lehre zu ziehen sind.

description: Während in der neueren Arbeits- und Berufsforschung im Rahmen hochqualifizierter Erwerbsarbeit die Begriffe Professionen und Wissensberufe zumeist dasselbe bezeichnen, zielt dieser Beitrag auf eine trennscharfe Unterscheidung dieser beiden Konzepte. Der Begriff der Wissensberufe ist ein Steigerungsbegriff, in der modernen Wissensgesellschaft tendiert immer mehr Arbeit zur Wissensarbeit. Demgegenüber haben wir es beim Begriff der Professionen mit einem exklusiven Begriff zu tun, Professionen können immer nur sehr wenige Berufe sein. Obwohl nun die neuen Wissensberufe gegenüber den klassischen Professionen weder etwas mit lebenspraktischen Problemen von Klienten zu tun haben noch gesellschaftliche Zentralwerte abdecken müssen, kann man in Bezug auf die Form der Wissensbasierung beider beruflichen Gruppen auch eine Gemeinsamkeit markieren. Auch die Handlungslogik der zunehmenden Wissensberufe ist nicht die einer technisch-instrumentellen Anwendung von wissenschaftlichem Regelwissen; wie das Wissen der Professionen ist das Expertenwissen der Wissensberufe interpretationsbedürftig, kontingent und im Handeln immer wieder neu zu reproduzieren.

description: In der Bundesrepublik konzentrierten sich die Bemühungen zur Verbesserung von Gesundheit und Sicherheit bei der Arbeit bislang auf große Unternehmen, so daß aktuell ein Defizit an spezifischen Leitbildern und Präventionskonzepten für die kleinbetriebliche Arbeitswelt besteht. Gestützt auf eine kritische Diskussion vorhandener Forschungs- und Entwicklungsansätze und Befunde einer am salutogenetischen Paradigma orientierten empirischen Analyse des Handwerks als "präventives Milieu" bzw. "setting" (betriebliche Risiken und Ressourcen, zwischen- und überbetriebliche Netzwerke mit Präventionspotential, praktische Erfahrungen aus Interventionsprojekten) werden die Konturen eines sektorspezifischen Leitbildes der Prävention entworfen. Dieses versucht eine zukunftsfähige Leit- bzw. Werkidee, ein betriebliches Handlungsmodell und ein Instrumenten- und Supportkonzept zu integrieren.
description: In the past, measures for the improvement of health and safety at work in the Federal Republic have had a bias on large enterprises. This resulted in a lack of specific and adequate concepts for health and safety prevention in the world of small sized firms. Based on a critical discussion of research and development in this area and some results of an empirical salutogenic analysis of the German "Handwerk" as a preventive setting (risks and resources on the work level, local and institutional networks, practical experiences from pilot measures) the framework of a sector-specific concept of health-and-safety-promotion is drawn. It tries to integrate the elements of aims and general motivation, a basic model of internal cooperation for health and safety, instrumental needs and systems of external support.

Validity of Maxwell Equal Area Law for Black Holes Conformally Coupled to Scalar Fields in $\text{AdS}_5$ Spacetime

description: We investigate the $P-V$ criticality and the Maxwell equal area law for a five-dimensional spherically symmetric AdS black hole with a scalar hair in the absence of and in the presence of a Maxwell field, respectively. Especially in the charged case, we give the exact $P-V$ critical values. More importantly, we analyze the validity and invalidity of the Maxwell equal area law for the AdS hairy black hole in the scenarios without and with charges, respectively. Within the scope of validity of the Maxwell equal area law, we point out that there exists a representative van der Waals-type oscillation in the $P-V$ diagram. This oscillating part that indicates the phase transition from a small black hole to a large one can be replaced by an isobar. The small and large black holes share the same Gibbs free energy. We also give the distribution of the critical points in the parameter space both without and with charges, and obtain for the uncharged case the fitting formula of the co-existence curve. Meanwhile, the latent heat is calculated, which gives the energy released or absorbed between the small and large black hole phases in the isothermal-isobaric procedure.

Functional central limit theorems for stationary Hawkes processes and application to infinite-server queues

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: A univariate Hawkes process is a simple point process that is self-exciting and has clustering effect. The intensity of this point process is given by the sum of a baseline intensity and another term that depends on the entire past history of the point process. Hawkes process has wide applications in finance, neuroscience, social networks, criminology, seismology, and many other fields. In this paper, we prove a functional central limit theorem for stationary Hawkes processes in the asymptotic regime where the baseline intensity is large. The limit is a non-Markovian Gaussian process with dependent increments. We use the resulting approximation to study an infinite-server queue with high-volume Hawkes traffic. We show that the queue length process can be approximated by a Gaussian process, for which we compute explicitly the covariance function and the steady-state distribution. We also extend our results to multivariate stationary Hawkes processes and establish limit theorems for infinite-server queues with multivariate Hawkes traffic.

description: In this work we consider two different aspects of weighted walks in cones. To begin we examine a particular weighted model, known as the Gouyou-Beauchamps model. Using the theory of analytic combinatorics in several variables we obtain the asymptotic expansion of the total number of Gouyou-Beauchamps walks confined to the quarter plane. Our formulas are parametrized by weights and starting point, and we identify six different asymptotic regimes (called universality classes) which arise according to the values of the weights. The weights allowed in this model satisfy natural algebraic identities permitting an expression of the weighted generating function in terms of the generating function of unweighted walks on the same steps. The second part of this article explains these identities combinatorially for walks in arbitrary cones and dimensions, and provides a characterization of universality classes for general weighted walks. Furthermore, we describe an infinite set of models with non-D-finite generating function.

We show theoretically that this system supports degenerate ground-states appearing at non-zero in-plane momenta, corresponding to multiple valleys in reciprocal space, which are further separated in polarization corresponding to a polarization-valley coupling in the system. Aside forming a basis for valleytronics, the multivalley dispersion is predicted to allow for spontaneous momentum symmetry breaking and two-mode squeezing under non-resonant and resonant excitation, respectively.

Phonons are considered for a single wall carbon nanotube in the armchair configuration. As expected, low temperature and high temperature regions show different behavior of specific heat. Carbon nanotubes are also displaying a very interesting lattice transport depending on the diameter, with a rather high thermal conductivity for small diameters.

description: A wireless network of full-duplex nodes/users, using anti-eavesdropping channel estimation (ANECE) based on collaborative pilots, can yield a positive secure degree-of-freedom (SDoF) regardless of the number of antennas an eavesdropper may have. This paper presents novel results on SDoF of ANECE by analyzing secret-key capacity (SKC) of each pair of nodes in a network of multiple collaborative nodes per channel coherence period. Each transmission session of ANECE has two phases: phase 1 is used for pilots, and phase 2 is used for random symbols. This results in two parts of SDoF of ANECE. Both lower and upper bounds on the SDoF of ANECE for any number of users are shown, and the conditions for the two bounds to meet are given. This leads to important discoveries, including: a) The phase-1 SDoF is the same for both multi-user ANECE and pair-wise ANECE while the former may require only a fraction of the number of time slots needed by the latter; b) For a three-user network, the phase-2 SDoF of all-user ANECE is generally larger than that of pair-wise ANECE; c) For a two-user network, a modified ANECE deploying square-shaped nonsingular pilot matrices yields a higher total SDoF than the original ANECE. The multi-user ANECE and the modified two-user ANECE shown in this paper appear to be the best full-duplex schemes known today in terms of SDoF subject to each node using a given number of antennas for both transmitting and receiving.

Theory of spin-coherent transport through a defect spin state in a metal/ferromagnet tunnel junction during ferromagnetic resonance

description: We describe the coherent interaction between a defect spin at the interface of a ferromagnet and a non-magnetic material, under bias and when the magnetization of the ferromagnetic contact precesses during ferromagnetic resonance. The magnet filters charge carriers by preferentially allowing in parallel spins, which leads to a dynamic spin accumulation on the defect. Local effective fields acting on the defect spin site modify the defect spin's precession, which also modifies the charge current through the defect. This new form of current-detected spin resonance reveals the local environment of the defect, and thus can yield the defect identity.

Simulating V+jet processes in heavy ion collisions with JEWEL

description: Processes in which a jet recoils against an electroweak boson complement studies of jet quenching in heavy ion collisions at the LHC. As the boson does not interact strongly it escapes the dense medium unmodified and thus provides a more direct access to the hard scattering kinematics than can be obtained in di-jet events. First measurements of jet modification in these processes are now available from the LHC experiments and will improve greatly with better statistics in the future. We present an extension of JEWEL to boson-jet processes. JEWEL is a dynamical framework for jet evolution in a dense background based on perturbative QCD, that is in agreement with a large variety of jet observables. We also obtain a good description of the CMS and ATLAS data for y+jet and Z+jet processes at 2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV.

description: Let $Ω_-$ and $Ω_+$ be two bounded smooth domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 2$, separated by a hypersurface $Σ$. For $μ>0$, consider the function $h_μ=1_{Ω_-}-μ1_{Ω_+}$. We discuss self-adjoint realizations of the operator $L_μ=-\nabla\cdot h_μ\nabla$ in $L^2(Ω_-\cupΩ_+)$ with the Dirichlet condition at the exterior boundary. We show that $L_μ$ is always essentially self-adjoint on the natural domain (corresponding to transmission-type boundary conditions at the interface $Σ$) and study some properties of its unique self-adjoint extension $\mathcal{L}_μ:=\overline{L_μ}$. If $μ\ne 1$, then $\mathcal{L}_μ$ simply coincides with $L_μ$ and has compact resolvent. If $n=2$, then $\mathcal{L}_1$ has a non-empty essential spectrum, $σ_\mathrm{ess}(\mathcal{L}_{1})=\{0\}$. If $n\ge 3$, the spectral properties of $\mathcal{L}_1$ depend on the geometry of $Σ$. In particular, it has compact resolvent if $Σ$ is the union of disjoint strictly convex hypersurfaces, but can have a non-empty essential spectrum if a part of $Σ$ is flat. Our construction features the method of boundary triplets, and the problem is reduced to finding the self-adjoint extensions of a pseudodifferential operator on $Σ$. We discuss some links between the resulting self-adjoint operator $\mathcal{L}_μ$ and some effects observed in negative-index materials.

description: The Hawking radiation emits all species of particles, but the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is independent of the number of the species of particles. This is the so-called species problem --- a puzzling problem for a long time. In this paper, we suggest a solution to this problem. A result of the scheme is that the black hole atmosphere has a mass equaling 3/8 mass of a classical Schwarzschild black hole, which agrees with 't Hooft's brick wall model.

Lorentzian wormhole in the framework of loop quantum cosmology

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In this paper, we construct a traversable static Lorentzian wormhole in the effective scenario of Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC), where the field equations are modified due to the ultraviolet (UV) corrections introduced at large space-time curvatures. A stable wormhole can be constructed in the effective scenario without the violation of Null energy condition (NEC) by physical matter at the throat. The NEC is effectively violated due to the corrections in the field equations from LQC, resolving the Weyl curvature singularity at the throat. However, the physical matter does violate the Strong energy condition (SEC), suggesting the interesting possibility that dark energy can be harnessed into a wormhole. A possible explanation for this is the presence of inherent pressure isotropy in the UV-corrected field equations (discussed and compared to braneworld wormholes in the discussion). No additional exotic ingredient (violating NEC) is required, avoiding quantum instabilities. The tidal forces at the throat do not diverge and also the throat is found to be stable. The wormhole features an attractive geometry. LQC can resolve both types of curvature singularities appearing at the black hole center and wormhole throat, without exotic matter.

Long range of indirect exchange interaction on the edges of MoS$_{2}$ flakes

description: We study the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction between two magnetic impurities connected to the edges of zigzag-terminated MoS$_{2}$ flakes. When the impurities lie on the edges of the flake, the effective exchange interaction exhibits sizable noncollinear Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya character that competes with a strong Ising coupling. We analyze the characteristic decay exponent for doping levels inside the band gap of the infinite layer, corresponding to edge states of the flake at the Fermi level. The characteristic exponents show sub-two-dimensional (sub-2D) behavior for these band fillings, with decays much slower than quadratic. The Ising interaction has effectively one-dimensional (1D) long range, while the noncollinear component that grows for short impurity separation becomes comparable in magnitude. The resulting tunable exchange interaction on these systems opens the way for the study of interesting phases of impurity arrays with long-range stable helical order.

Characterization of ${\cal B}(\infty)$ using marginally large tableaux and rigged configurations in the $A_n$ case via integer sequences

description: Rigged configurations are combinatorial objects prominent in the study of solvable lattice models. Marginally large tableaux are semi-standard Young tableaux of special form that give a realization of the crystals ${\cal B}(\infty)$. We introduce cascading sequences to characterize marginally large tableaux. Then we use cascading sequences and a non-explicit crystal isomorphism between marginally large tableaux and rigged configurations to give a characterization of the latter set, and to give an explicit bijection between the two sets.

description: Fans of three big teams (Besiktas: BJK, Fenerbahce: FB, and Galatasaray: GS) in Turkey are evaluated according to how stereotypical they are by 186 participants (122 female, 64 male) from various departments of Middle East Technical University, Ankara. Participants wrote about their own death or dental pain and filled out 7-point Likert-type questionnaires about their self-esteem, current positive and negative affect, team identification and stereotyping toward football team fans. It was found that there is a significant gender difference in terms of team identification and interpersonal relations stereotyping toward FB fans. As expected, males identified themselves with a football team more than females and surprisingly females reported more interpersonal relations stereotyping toward FB fans than males. Mortality salience and dental pain conditions differed on scores of FB supporting participants for interpersonal relations stereotyping towards FB fans and participants who do not support any team made significantly less interpersonal relations stereotyping towards GS fans in MS condition than in DP condition. A marginally significant difference was found for scores of GS supporters that they reported more competence stereotyping toward FB fans in MS than in DP condition. Results reveal that mortality salience does not heavily affect the relation between team affiliation and stereotyping toward other fans.

description: With recent advancements in the field of communications and the Internet of Things, vehicles are becoming more aware of their environment and are evolving towards full autonomy. Vehicular communication opens up the possibility for vehicle-to-infrastructure interaction, where vehicles could share information with components such as cameras, traffic lights, and signage that support a countrys road system. As a result, vehicles are becoming more than just a means of transportation; they are collecting, processing, and transmitting massive amounts of data used to make driving safer and more convenient. With 5G cellular networks and beyond, there is going to be more data bandwidth available on our roads, but it may be heterogeneous because of limitations like line of sight, infrastructure, and heterogeneous traffic on the road. This paper addresses the problem of route planning for autonomous vehicles in urban areas accounting for both driving time and data transfer needs. We propose a novel reinforcement learning solution that prioritizes high bandwidth roads to meet a vehicles data transfer requirement, while also minimizing driving time. We compare this approach to traffic-unaware and bandwidth-unaware baselines to show how much better it performs under heterogeneous traffic. This solution could be used as a starting point to understand what good policies look like, which could potentially yield faster, more efficient heuristics in the future.
