description: We present an algorithm that computes Friedl and Lück's twisted $L^2$-Euler characteristic for a suitable regular CW complex, employing Oki's matrix expansion algorithm to indirectly evaluate the Dieudonné determinant. The algorithm needs to run for an extremely long time to certify its outputs, but a truncated, human-assisted version produces very good results in many cases, such as hyperbolic link complements, closed census 3-manifolds, free-by-cyclic groups, and higher-dimensional examples, such as the fiber of the Ratcliffe-Tschantz manifold.

description: Dynamic controlled atmosphere (DCA) and low-pressure (LP) storage can be used as an alternative to store organic apples for extended periods of time. DCA uses low oxygen (O2) levels and monitors the anaerobic compensation point (ACP). LP ventilates air at less than atmospheric pressure. ‘Honeycrisp’ and ‘Fuji’ apples from 4 different orchard locations were picked at commercial harvest maturity and placed into controlled atmosphere (CA) and LP storage regimes. Initial ACP was monitored using chlorophyll fluorescence (CF), respiratory quotient (RQ), and ethanol content. Final CA conditions for ‘Honeycrisp’ were: CA and CA-RQ (3kPa O2/0.5 kPa CO2), and CA-ILOS (Initial low oxygen stress; 0.5kPa O2/0.5kPa CO2 -10 days, 1.0kPa O2/0.7MPa CO2 thereafter). Final CA conditions for ‘Fuji’ were CA and CA-RQ (0.8kPa O2/0.8 kPa CO2), but CA-ILOS (Initial low oxygen stress; 0.6kPa O2/0.8kPa CO2 -10 days, 0.8kPa O2/0.8kPa CO2 thereafter). Two LP storage temperatures (LP33-1°C/ LP37-3°C) were used in the first season, but only (LP33-1°C) in the second. Fruit were preconditioned in air prior to final storage. Fruit quality (fruit weight, flesh firmness, soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), internal ethylene concentration, and respiration rate) and physiological disorders incidence were assessed after 6 and 9 months of storage plus 4 weeks in air (3°C) plus 7 days at room temperature (20°C). The performance in storage was affected by cultivar, environment, and maturity at harvest. There was variation among seasons. The incidence of physiological disorders varied between cultivars and locations. C21 developed 19.4% of soggy breakdown and W40 developed 17.2% of internal browning in the first season. The effect of storage system on physiological disorders was depended on the effect of orchard location. The incidence of physiological disorders increased as the fruit were transferred to air and RT. LP storage reduced the incidence of physiological disorders after 9 months. LP33 developed slightly more soft scald than CA storage (2.9% and 0.4%) in the second season. LP33 maintained higher TA of ‘Fuji’ (0.28%) in the first season, and of ‘Honeycrisp’ (0.34%) in the second.

description: Feshbach resonances play a vital role in the success of cold atoms investigating strongly-correlated physics. The recent observation of their solid-state analog in the scattering of holes and intralayer excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides [Schwartz et al., Science 374, 336 (2021)] holds compelling promise for bringing fully controllable interactions to the field of semiconductors. Here, we demonstrate how tunneling-induced layer hybridization can lead to the emergence of two distinct classes of Feshbach resonances in atomically thin semiconductors. Based on microscopic scattering theory we show that these two types of Feshbach resonances allow to tune interactions between electrons and both short-lived intralayer, as well as long-lived interlayer excitons. We predict the exciton-electron scattering phase shift from first principles and show that the exciton-electron coupling is fully tunable from strong to vanishing interactions. The tunability of interactions opens the avenue to explore Bose-Fermi mixtures in solid-state systems in regimes that were previously only accessible in cold atom experiments.

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly integrating into various aspects of our daily lives, influencing decision-making processes in areas such as targeted advertising and matchmaking algorithms. As AI systems become increasingly sophisticated, ensuring their transparency and explainability becomes crucial. Functional transparency is a fundamental aspect of algorithmic decision-making systems, allowing stakeholders to comprehend the inner workings of these systems and enabling them to evaluate their fairness and accuracy. However, achieving functional transparency poses significant challenges that need to be addressed. In this paper, we propose a design for user-centered compliant-by-design transparency in transparent systems. We emphasize that the development of transparent and explainable AI systems is a complex and multidisciplinary endeavor, necessitating collaboration among researchers from diverse fields such as computer science, artificial intelligence, ethics, law, and social science. By providing a comprehensive understanding of the challenges associated with transparency in AI systems and proposing a user-centered design framework, we aim to facilitate the development of AI systems that are accountable, trustworthy, and aligned with societal values.

description: In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit wird der Umgang mit Umbrüchen von Seiten der bildenden Künstler thematisiert. Das gewählte Ereignis ist der Zerfallsprozess des jugoslawischen Staates. Anhand der ausgewählten Werke und Werkserien wurden die künstlerischen Positionen vor und nach dem Jahr 1991 analysiert. Die Frage der gesellschaftlichen Krise, die sich in Form von Gewalt, von Zusammenbruch, von Suche nach einem Abschluss und gleichzeitig nach einem Anfang äußert, wurde in Bezug zur künstlerischen Praxis gebracht. Wie gehen die Künstler mit diesen radikalen Veränderungen um? Im Weiteren wurde die Frage ins Visier genommen, inwiefern der gesellschaftliche Umbruch die ästhetische Kontinuität der jugoslawischen Kunst unterbrochen hat. Ausgehend von Adornos These, dass die Kunst an sich immer etwas Widerständiges verkörpert und ihre Sprache nicht nur als einfache Kritik sondern als ästhetische Sublimierung verstanden werden soll, wurde der Versuch unternommen, anhand der ausgewählten Werke eine Antwort auf die Fragen zu finden, wie die in Jugoslawien arbeitenden KünstlerInnen sich dem Identitätszwang des Systems gefügt bzw. widersetzt haben? Was passiert mit der gleichen, wenn die gesellschaftliche Ordnung zusammenbricht und der Begriff des Nichtidentischen einer starken Verwandlung unterworfen wird und somit die Suche nach einer neuen ästhetischen Identität notwendig erscheint. Es wurden künstlerische Arbeiten von Marina Abramovic (Performancekünstlerin), Braco Dimitrijevic (Installationskünstler), Dusan Dzamonja (Bildhauer) und Zlatko Ugljen (Architekt) analysiert.

description: For the one dimensional Burgers equation with a random and periodic forcing, it is well-known that there exists a family of invariant measures, each corresponding to a different average velocity. In this paper, we consider the coupled invariant measures and study how they change as the velocity parameter varies. We show that the derivative of the invariant measure with respect to the velocity parameter exists, and it can be interpreted as the steady state of a diffusion advected by the Burgers flow

description: Foundation models have emerged as critical components in a variety of artificial intelligence applications, and showcase significant success in natural language processing and several other domains. Meanwhile, the field of graph machine learning is witnessing a paradigm transition from shallow methods to more sophisticated deep learning approaches. The capabilities of foundation models in generalization and adaptation motivate graph machine learning researchers to discuss the potential of developing a new graph learning paradigm. This paradigm envisions models that are pre-trained on extensive graph data and can be adapted for various graph tasks. Despite this burgeoning interest, there is a noticeable lack of clear definitions and systematic analyses pertaining to this new domain. To this end, this article introduces the concept of Graph Foundation Models (GFMs), and offers an exhaustive explanation of their key characteristics and underlying technologies. We proceed to classify the existing work related to GFMs into three distinct categories, based on their dependence on graph neural networks and large language models. In addition to providing a thorough review of the current state of GFMs, this article also outlooks potential avenues for future research in this rapidly evolving domain.

description: Given an infinite matrix $M=(m_{nk})$ we study a family of sequence spaces $\ell_M^p$ associated with it. When equipped with a suitable norm $\|\cdot\|_{M,p}$ we prove some basic properties of the Banach spaces of sequences $(\ell_M^p,\|\cdot\|_{M,p})$. In particular we show that such spaces are separable and strictly/uniformly convex for a considerably large class of infinite matrices $M$ for all $p>1$. A special attention is given to the identification of the dual space $(\ell_M^p )^*$. Building on the earlier works of Bennett and Jägers, we extend and apply some classical factorization results to the sequence spaces $\ell_M^p$.

description: Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), a workhorse of the semiconductor industry, has progressed rapidly in the last few decades in the development of novel materials. Recent developments in condensed matter and materials physics have seen the rise of many novel quantum materials that require ultra-clean and high-quality samples for fundamental studies and applications. Novel oxide-based quantum materials synthesized using MBE have advanced the development of the field and materials. In this review, we discuss the recent progress in new MBE techniques that have enabled synthesis of complex oxides that exhibit "quantum" phenomena, including superconductivity and topological electronic states. We show how these techniques have produced breakthroughs in the synthesis of 4d and 5d oxide films and heterostructures that are of particular interest as quantum materials. These new techniques in MBE offer a bright future for the synthesis of ultra-high quality oxide quantum materials.

description: The purpose of this research is to evaluate the literature previously conducted on Native American veterans and PTSD in order to identify critical gaps of information within this population and address them via a research study. The first manuscript contains a narrative review on studies relating to Native American veteran Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It also provides an in-depth look at Native American demographics and historical trauma theory. It also identifies several key limitations of previously conducted studies (lack of studies, limited sample size and the lack of pan-tribal data). The second manuscript describes a study addressing these limitations, which describes Native American veterans’ perceived barriers and facilitators for seeking treatment for PTSD as they relate to identification with one’s own Native cultural identity and an exploration of weather differences exist between gender across these variables. The participants include 717 self-identified Native American veterans, consisting of over 200 tribal affiliations, and representing all branches of the United States Military. This study utilizes rs values to show direction of monotonic relationships and rs2 values to show the coefficient of determination. Results indicate positive monotonic relationships exist between one’s level of identification with Native culture and several of the barriers and facilitators identified, as well as significant differences by gender.

description: This article discusses the use of somatic phraseological units related to the  “hand” lexeme in the Uzbek and English languages. The main focus of phraseology as a branch of linguistics is to study the nature of phraseology and their categorical features, as well as to determine the laws of use of phraseology in speech. In the field of linguistics, phraseology is a science that studies descriptive words, for example, idioms, phrasal verbs and other types of lexical units, in which the general meaning cannot be known through the meanings of the composition of words, they are used as independent units. is used. We try to comprehensively research somatic phraseological units in English and Uzbek languages, i.e. grammatically, lexically and semantically. Because somatic phraseological units are widely and comprehensively related to other branches of linguistics.
Activity-driven emulsification of phase-separating binary mixtures

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Systems containing active components are intrinsically out of equilibrium, while binary mixtures reach their equilibrium configuration when complete phase separation is achieved. Active particles are found to stabilise non-equilibrium morphologies in phase separating binary mixtures by arresting coarsening by exerting active pressure that competes with surface tension driving forces. For moderate activities, an emulsion morphology is stabilised, where the droplet size is well-defined and controlled by activity. Conversely, the ability of active particles to drive phase-separated mixtures away from their equilibrium configuration is shown. A rich co-assembly behaviour is shown due to the competing energy scales involved in the system.

description: Numerous studies have reported a link between engagement in musical training and enhanced neural processing and perception of sound, ranging from fine-grained pitch discrimination to the perception of speech in noise, with training-related neural changes emerging as early in the auditory pathways as the brainstem or even the cochlea. Such findings suggest a role for experience-dependent plasticity in the early auditory system, which may have meaningful perceptual consequences. However, the generalizability of the musician advantage remains unclear. For example, small-sized samples often represent extreme ends of the musical spectrum; the nature and magnitudes of the musician advantage are sometimes small or inconsistent; and comparisons between studies are complicated by methodological differences and varying analytical techniques. This multi-site study aims to examine the robustness of the musician advantage across the adult lifespan by replicating and extending eight key experiments involving both perception and neural coding across a large sample of listeners.

description: This dissertation consists of two papers: (1) Consumers’ Purchasing Decision-making Process in the Omni-channel Retail Environment: A Meta-analysis Paper, and (2) The decision-making process of omni-channel fashion consumers under the moderating effect of cultural values: A cross-cultural study between the U.S. and China. The first paper applies meta-analysis method to systematically review and statistically analyze previous peer-reviewed papers about omni-channel consumer behavior. The study also investigates the moderating effect of country and product type on consumers’ cognitive, affective, and conative psychological evaluation process in the context of omni-channel retailing. As one of the very first meta-analysis research for the topic of omni-channel retailing, this study provides the state-of-the-art analysis of this new retail strategy, generalizes the empirical results from the past six years’ academic research, and establishes theoretical foundation for this research area. Our work identifies the relationships in the cognitive-affective-conative model and provides significant results between the antecedents (extrinsic cognitive, intrinsic cognitive, affective, and mixed factors) and behavioral outcomes (intention, usage behavior, loyalty, and word-of-mouth) as well as the moderating effects of cultural and product types. The second paper is a cross-cultural study, which empirically examines how the antecedents (channel integration quality, perceived fluency, cognitive trust, and affective trust) influence omni-channel fashion consumers’ decisions on adopting omni-channel services. The findings show that different dimensions of channel integration quality exert different effects on cognitive trust in the two countries. All forms of channel integration quality except for integrated promotion have significantly positive impact on consumers’ perceived fluency in the U.S. and China. Both countries’ consumers generate cognitive trust and affective trust when perceiving fluency in using omni-channel shopping. Cognitive trust is a significant antecedent of affective trust. Both the intrinsic cognitive factors and the affective factor show positively influence on consumers’ omni-channel shopping intentions in the two countries. The study also investigates the moderating effect of individualism and uncertainty avoidance as well as their different moderating effects in the two different nations. The results reveal that uncertainty avoidance negatively moderates the relationship between integrated transaction information and cognitive trust in China while the effect is not significant in the U.S.

description: This study examines the impact of AI-generated digital clones with self-images on enhancing perceptions and skills in online presentations. A mixed-design experiment with 44 international students compared self-recording videos (self-recording group) to AI-clone videos (AI-clone group) for online English presentation practice. AI-clone videos were generated using voice cloning, face swapping, lip-syncing, and body-language simulation, refining the repetition, filler words, and pronunciation of participants' original presentations. Through the lens of social comparison theory, the results showed that AI clones functioned as positive "role models" for facilitating social comparisons. When comparing the effects on self-perceptions, speech qualities, and self-kindness, the self-recording group showed an increase in pronunciation satisfaction. However, the AI-clone group exhibited greater self-kindness, broader observational coverage, and a meaningful transition from a corrective to an enhancive approach in self-critique. Moreover, machine-rated scores revealed immediate performance gains only within the AI-clone group. Considering individual differences, aligning interventions with participants' regulatory focus significantly enhanced their learning experience. These findings highlight the theoretical, practical, and ethical implications of AI clones in supporting emotional and cognitive skill development.

description: In dusty plasma environments, the spontaneous growth of nanoparticles from reactive gases has been extensively studied for over three decades, primarily focusing on hydrocarbons and silicate particles. Here, we introduce the growth of titanium dioxide, a wide band gap semiconductor, as dusty plasma nanoparticles. The resultant particles exhibited a spherical morphology and reached a maximum homogeneous radius of 230 $\pm$ 17 nm after an elapsed time of 70 seconds. The particle grew linearly and the growth displayed a cyclic behavior; that is, upon reaching their maximum radius, the largest particles fell out of the plasma, and a new growth cycle immediately followed. The particles were collected after being grown for different amounts of time and imaged using scanning electron microscopy. Further characterization was carried out using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy to elucidate the chemical composition and crystalline properties of the maximally sized particles. Initially, the as-grown particles after 70 seconds exhibited an amorphous structure. However, annealing treatments at temperatures of 400 $^\circ$C and 800 $^\circ$C induced crystallization, yielding anatase and rutile phases, respectively. Notably, annealing at 600 $^\circ$C resulted in a mixed phase of anatase and rutile. These findings open new avenues for a rapid and controlled growth technique of titanium dioxide as dusty plasma.

Film criticism

description: Despite this surface level volatility, the brothers’ filmography does not feel erratic. On the contrary, there’s a certain common sensibility that runs through all of their pictures. It is an easy sensibility to identify, but a harder one to nail down and articulate. This brings us back to “Bontsche Schvayg.” The inclusion of “Bontsche” in Raising Arizona is not just another Jewish allusion for a knowing audience, but can be used as a map to better understand the view of the world that the Coens depict on screen. The tone and message of this somewhat cryptic Yiddish short story can be used to analyze their somewhat cryptic filmography.

description: El derecho de marcas enfrenta actualmente retos derivados de los cambios del mundo moderno y la introducción de nuevas tecnologías. Es por lo anterior que la introducción del metaverso ha venido generando desafíos e interrogantes dentro de los sistemas de marcas de los países del mundo que no han sido fáciles de resolver o no han sido resueltos en su totalidad y adicionalmente, han puesto en la mira de muchos el cómo debería ser regulado, para que las diferentes dinámicas dentro del mismo no se conviertan en infracción de derechos. Aunque el tema pareciese muy amplio, en lo que este trabajo respecta se buscan solucionar dichos interrogantes para marcas específicas. Dichas marcas son : las MARCAS DE LUJO, pues estas, al poseer un especial reconocimiento dentro de los mercados son protegidas de distinta manera a las marcas de consumo masivo. Adicionalmente, son marcas que han logrado llamar la atención de la generación z y su excesiva presión por enarbolar la bandera de la perfección. Sumado a lo anterior, el tema fue puesto en la mira con el reciente litigio de uno de los titanes de las marcas de lujo, el caso “ Hermés International Y Hermes of Paris, Inc. Vs Mason Rothschild”.
description: Trademark law currently faces challenges derived from the changes in the modern world and the introduction of new technologies. It is for this reason that the introduction of the metaverse has been generating challenges and questions within the trademark systems of the countries of the world that have not been easy to resolve or have not been resolved in their entirety and additionally, have put in the sights of many how it should be regulated, so that the different dynamics within it do not become an infringement of rights. Although the topic seems very broad, as far as this work is concerned, it seeks to solve these questions for specific brands. These brands are: LUXURY BRANDS, since these, having special recognition within the markets, are protected in a different way than mass consumption brands. Furthermore, they are brands that have managed to attract the attention of generation z and their excessive pressure to fly the flag of perfection. In addition to the above, the issue was put in the spotlight with the recent litigation of one of the titans of luxury brands, the case “Hermés International and Hermes of Paris, Inc. Vs Mason Rothschild”.
Τεχνητή νοημοσύνη και δικαιοσύνη : εφαρμογές και προκλήσεις για την εισαγωγή της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης στα δικαστικά συστήματα

description: Η τεχνητή νοημοσύνη (ΤΝ) συνιστά μία αναδυόμενη τεχνολογία, η οποία σήμερα γνωρίζει ταχύτατη ανάπτυξη και μεγάλη δημοφιλία. Με καταιγιστικούς ρυθμούς η μία είδηση διαδέχεται την άλλη για το πώς η τεχνητή νοημοσύνη κατάφερε κάτι ακόμα πιο καινοτόμο, κάτι ακόμα πιο πρωτοποριακό, κάτι που στο παρελθόν θα εντοπιζόταν μόνο σε λογογραφήματα ή σε ταινίες επιστημονικής φαντασίας. Νέες δυνατότητες προσφέρονται σε όλο το φάσμα της ανθρώπινης δραστηριότητας από την υγειονομική περίθαλψη μέχρι την εκπαίδευση και το Marketing. Δεν θα μπορούσε επομένως, ο τομέας της Δικαιοσύνης να αποτελέσει εξαίρεση και να μην επηρεαστεί και αυτός με τη σειρά του από τις πολλά υποσχόμενες προοπτικές της. Η παρούσα Διπλωματική Εργασία ερευνά ακριβώς τη συμβατότητα και τη δυνατότητα ενσωμάτωσης εφαρμογών τεχνητής νοημοσύνης εντός του πλαισίου της απονομής Δικαιοσύνης και του νομικού οικοδομήματος. Εντοπίζει τα ήδη εφαρμοσμένα συστήματα δικαστικής και νομικής τεχνητής νοημοσύνης και αναλύει τις αλλαγές που μπορεί να επιφέρουν στη συλλογή των αποδεικτικών μέσων, στο δικηγορικό επάγγελμα, στο θεσμό του δικαστή καθώς και στην λήψη των δικαστικών αποφάσεων. Διωκτικές και προανακριτικές αρχές, Δικηγόροι και Δικαστές εξετάζονται παράλληλα, καθώς από κοινού αποτελούν τους εγγυητές της ορθής απονομής δικαιοσύνης. Ακόμα, η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αναλύει τις ηθικές και νομικές προεκτάσεις της χρήσης εφαρμογών τεχνητής νοημοσύνης στη Δικαιοσύνη, τους κινδύνους που αυτή ελλοχεύει, ενώ προτείνει και λύσεις προκειμένου αυτή να καταστεί δυνατή. Κυρίως όμως, εξετάζει το κατά πόσο η εισαγωγή τους μπορεί να είναι πράγματι συμβατή με το κράτος δικαίου, την θεμελιώδη αρχή της δίκαιης δίκης και τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα όπως τα αντιλαμβανόμαστε μέχρι σήμερα.
Active smectics on a sphere

description: The dynamics of active smectic liquid crystals confined on a spherical surface is explored through an active phase field crystal model. Starting from an initially randomly perturbed isotropic phase, several types of topological defects are spontaneously formed, and then annihilate during a coarsening process until a steady state is achieved. The coarsening process is highly complex involving several scaling laws of defect densities as a function of time where different dynamical exponents can be identified. In general the exponent for the final stage towards the steady state is significantly larger than that in the passive and in the planar case, i.e., the coarsening is getting accelerated both by activity and by the topological and geometrical properties of the sphere. A defect type characteristic for this active system is a rotating spiral of evolving smectic layering lines. On a sphere this defect type also determines the steady state. Our results can in principle be confirmed by dense systems of synthetic or biological active particles.
