description: The particle production through the scalaron decays are considered for several different channels. The central part of the work is dedicated to a study of the decay probability into two complex minimally coupled massless scalars. The calculations are performed by two different independent methods. In addition we calculated the decay probability into real minimally coupled massless scalars, conformally coupled massive scalars, massive fermions, and gauge bosons. The results are compared with the published papers which in some cases disagree with each other.

description: In the framework of evolutionary games with institutional reciprocity, limited incentives are at disposal for rewarding cooperators and punishing defectors. In the simplest case, it can be assumed that, depending on their strategies, all players receive equal incentives from the common pool. The question arises, however, what is the optimal distribution of institutional incentives? How should we best reward and punish individuals for cooperation to thrive? We study this problem for the public goods game on a scale-free network. We show that if the synergetic effects of group interactions are weak, the level of cooperation in the population can be maximized simply by adopting the simplest "equal distribution" scheme. If synergetic effects are strong, however, it is best to reward high-degree nodes more than low-degree nodes. These distribution schemes for institutional rewards are independent of payoff normalization. For institutional punishment, however, the same optimization problem is more complex, and its solution depends on whether absolute or degree-normalized payoffs are used. We find that degree-normalized payoffs require high-degree nodes be punished more lenient than low-degree nodes. Conversely, if absolute payoffs count, then high-degree nodes should be punished stronger than low-degree nodes.

description: In this paper we quantize the $N$-dimensional classical Hamiltonian system $H= \frac{|q|}{2(η+ |q|)} p^2-\frac{k}{η+|q|}$, that can be regarded as a deformation of the Coulomb problem with coupling constant $k$, that it is smoothly recovered in the limit $η\to 0$. Moreover, the kinetic energy term in $H$ is just the one corresponding to an $N$-dimensional Taub-NUT space, a fact that makes this system relevant from a geometric viewpoint. Since the Hamiltonian $H$ is known to be maximally superintegrable, we propose a quantization prescription that preserves such superintegrability in the quantum mechanical setting. We show that, to this end, one must choose as the kinetic part of the Hamiltonian the conformal Laplacian of the underlying Riemannian manifold, which combines the usual Laplace-Beltrami operator on the Taub-NUT manifold and a multiple of its scalar curvature. As a consequence, we obtain a novel exactly solvable deformation of the quantum Coulomb problem, whose spectrum is computed in closed form for positive values of $η$ and $k$, and showing that the well-known maximal degeneracy of the flat system is preserved in the deformed case. Several interesting algebraic and physical features of this new exactly solvable quantum system are analysed, and the quantization problem for negative values of $η$ and/or $k$ is also sketched.

description: We study nonlinear modes in one-dimensional arrays of doped graphene nanodisks with Kerr-type nonlinear response in the presence of an external electric field. We present the theoretical model describing the evolution of the disks' polarizations, taking into account intrinsic graphene losses and dipole-dipole coupling between the graphene nanodisks. We reveal that this nonlinear system can support discrete dissipative scalar solitons of both longitudinal and transverse polarizations, as well as vector solitons composed of two mutually coupled polarization components. We demonstrate the formation of stable resting and moving localized modes under controlling guidance of the external driving field.

description: The light use efficiency (LUE) approach is a well-established method for estimating gross primary productivity (GPP) over large areas using Earth observation data. The present study aims to determine maximum light use efficiency (LUEmax) values specific to the northwest Himalayan foothills of India. It also aims to estimate the spatio-temporal variability of GPP from 2001 to 2020 using remote sensing data in combination with eddy covariance data in the LUE-based model. The model was parameterized using different sets of default and calculated parameters. The study showed that the use of PFT-specific LUEmax and temperatures increased the accuracy of the model predictions. On validation, the LUE-based model predicted GPP showed R2 = 0.82 for moist deciduous and R2 = 0.83 for dry deciduous PFTs. The study revealed that with rigorous model parameterization, RS data can be used in an LUE-based model to achieve accurate spatio-temporal estimates of GPP.

description: Still today, the nucleosynthesis origin of Xe-H in presolar nanodiamonds is far from understood. Historically, possible explanations were proposed by a secondary "neutron-burst" process occurring in the He- or C/O-shells of a type-II supernova (SN-II), which are, however, not fully convincing in terms of modern nucleosynthesis conditions. Therefore, we have investigated Xe isotopic abundance features that may be diagnostic for different versions of a classical, primary r-process in high-entropy-wind (HEW) ejecta of core-collapse SN-II. We report here on parameter tests for non-standard r-process variants, by varying electron abundances (Y$_e$), ranges of entropies (S) and expansion velocities (V$_{exp}$) with their correlated neutron-freezeout times ($τ$(freeze)) and temperatures (T$_9$(freeze)). From this study, we conclude that a best fit to the measured Xe-H abundance ratios $^i$Xe/$^{136}$Xe can be obtained with the high-S "main" component of a "cold" r-process variant.

description: Global mitigation efforts remain insufficient to limit the global temperature increase to well below 2 °C. While a growing academic literature analyzes this problem, perceptions of which obstacles inhibit goal attainment and which responses might be most effective seem to differ widely. This makes prioritization and agreement on the way forward difficult. To inform prioritization in global climate policy and research agendas, we present quantitative data on how 917 experts from the IPCC and the UNFCCC perceive the importance of different obstacles and response options for achieving 2 °C. On average, respondents consider opposition from special interest groups the most important obstacle and technological R&D the most important response. Our survey also finds that the majority of experts perceives a wide range of issues as important, supporting an agenda that is inclusive in terms of coverage. Average importance ratings differ between experts from the Global North and South, suggesting that balanced representation in global fora and regionally differentiated agendas are important. In particular, opposition from special interest groups is a top priority among experts from North America, Europe and Oceania. Investigating the drivers of individual importance ratings, we find little difference between experts from the IPCC and the UNFCCC, while expert's perceptions correlate with their academic training and their national scientific, regulatory, and financial contexts.

description: Of the hundreds of distinct Aboriginal cultures of Australia, many have oral traditions rich in descriptions and explanations of comets, meteors, meteorites, airbursts, impact events, and impact craters. These views generally attribute these phenomena to spirits, death, and bad omens. There are also many traditions that describe the formation of meteorite craters as well as impact events that are not known to Western science.

description: We study how the financial literature has evolved in scale, research team composition, and article topicality across 32 finance-focused academic journals from 1992 to 2021. We document that the field has vastly expanded regarding outlets and published articles. Teams have become larger, and the proportion of women participating in research has increased significantly. Using the Structural Topic Model, we identify 45 topics discussed in the literature. We investigate the topic coverage of individual journals and can identify highly specialized and generalist outlets, but our analyses reveal that most journals have covered more topics over time, thus becoming more generalist. Finally, we find that articles with at least one woman author focus more on topics related to social and governance aspects of corporate finance. We also find that teams with at least one top-tier institution scholar tend to focus more on theoretical aspects of finance.
Learning from 2D: machine learning of 3D effective properties of heterogeneous materials based on 2D microstructure sections

description: Microstructure--property relationships are key to effective design of structural materials for advanced applications. Advances in computational methods enabled modeling microstructure-sensitive properties using 3D models (e.g., finite elements) based on microstructure representative volumes. 3D microstructure data required as input to these models are typically obtained from either 3D characterization experiments or digital reconstruction based on statistics from 2D microstructure images. In this work, we present machine learning (ML) approaches to modeling effective properties of heterogeneous materials directly from 2D microstructure sections. To this end, we consider statistical learning models based on spatial correlations and convolutional neural networks as two distinct ML strategies. In both strategies, models are trained on a dataset of synthetically generated 3D microstructures and their properties obtained from micromechanical 3D simulations. Upon training, the models predict properties from 2D microstructure sections. The advantage of the presented models is that they only need 2D sections, whose experimental acquisition is more accessible compared to 3D characterization. Furthermore, the present models do not require digital reconstruction of 3D microstructures.

description: The potential of satellite imagery to complement the in-situ gauge networks in monitoring freshwater is well established. However, Temporal Sampling (TS) intervals of satellite altimetry impart significant uncertainty compared to daily or sub-daily in-situ gauge measurements. This study examines the effect of infrequent TS from satellite altimetry, i.e. 10-Day (Jason-2/3), 21-Day (SWOT), 27-Day (Sentinel-3A) and 35-Day (SARAL/AltiKa) for the evaluation of reservoir storage and outflow. The metrics of Relative Error (RE), Root Mean Squared Deviation (RMSD), and the correlation between altimetry-based and in-situ observations have been used for the evaluation. Results show that the altimeters having a high TS frequency, such as 10-Day or 21-Day, performed well with RMSD less than 0.2 m and correlation more than 98% in estimating satellite-based storage and outflow compare to coarse 27-Day or 35-Day TS. This study improves the understanding of sampling error in satellite altimetry, which has immense potential for future SWOT altimeter mission.

description: This study presents two machine learning models, namely, the light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) and categorical boosting (CatBoost), for the first time for predicting flash flood susceptibility (FFS) in the Wadi System (Hurghada, Egypt). A flood inventory map with 445 flash flood sites was produced and randomly divided into two groups for training (70%) and testing (30%). Fourteen flood controlling factors were selected and evaluated for their relative importance in flood occurrence prediction. The performance of the two models was assessed using various indexes in comparison to the common random forest (RF) method. The results show areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROC) of above 97% for all models and that LightGBM outperforms other models in terms of classification metrics and processing time. The developed FFS maps demonstrate that highly populated areas are the most susceptible to flash floods. The present study proves that the employed algorithms (LightGBM and CatBoost) can be efficiently used for FFS mapping.
Unintentional unfairness when applying new greenhouse gas emissions metrics at country level

description: The 2015 Paris Agreement sets out that rapid reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are needed to keep global warming to safe levels. A new approach (known as GWP*) has been suggested to compare contributions of long- and short-lived GHGs, providing a close link between cumulative CO2-equivalent emissions and total warming. However, comparison factors for non-CO2 GHGs under the GWP* metric depend on past emissions, and hence raise questions of equity and fairness when applied at any but the global level. The use of GWP* would put most developing countries at a disadvantage compared to developed countries, because when using GWP* countries with high historical emissions of short-lived GHGs are exempted from accounting for avoidable future warming that is caused by sustaining these emissions. We show that when various established equity or fairness criteria are applied to GWP* (defined here as eGWP*), perceived national non-CO2 emissions vary by more than an order of magnitude, particularly in countries with high methane emissions like New Zealand. We show that national emission estimates that use GWP* are very sensitive to arbitrary choices made by countries and therewith facilitate the creation of loopholes when CO2-equivalent emissions based on the GWP* concept are traded between countries that use different approaches. In light of such equity-dependent accounting differences, GHG metrics like GWP* should only be used at the global level. A common, transparent and equity-neutral accounting metric is vital for the Paris Agreement's effectiveness and its environmental integrity.

The result, xi" = 0.981 +- 0.045stat +- 0.003syst, is consistent with the Standard Model prediction of unity, and provides an order of magnitude improvement in the relative precision of this parameter. This value sets new constraints on exotic couplings beyond the dominant V-A description of the leptonic weak interaction.

description: Interleaving is an online evaluation approach for information retrieval systems that compares the effectiveness of ranking functions in interpreting the users' implicit feedback. Previous work such as Hofmann et al (2011) has evaluated the most promising interleaved methods at the time, on uniform distributions of queries. In the real world, ordinarily, there is an unbalanced distribution of repeated queries that follows a long-tailed users' search demand curve. The more a query is executed, by different users (or in different sessions), the higher the probability of collecting implicit feedback (interactions/clicks) on the related search results. This paper first aims to replicate the Team Draft Interleaving accuracy evaluation on uniform query distributions and then focuses on assessing how this method generalizes to long-tailed real-world scenarios. The reproducibility work raised interesting considerations on how the winning ranking function for each query should impact the overall winner for the entire evaluation. Based on what was observed, we propose that not all the queries should contribute to the final decision in equal proportion. As a result of these insights, we designed two variations of the $Δ_{AB}$ score winner estimator that assign to each query a credit based on statistical hypothesis testing. To replicate, reproduce and extend the original work, we have developed from scratch a system that simulates a search engine and users' interactions from datasets from the industry. Our experiments confirm our intuition and show that our methods are promising in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and robustness to noise.

description: Quantifying the spatially varying nearshore wave characteristics and energy dissipation mechanisms is of utmost importance for several coastal management and engineering applications as well as for flood hazard assessment. This study presents the ArcGIS Wave Transformation toolbox (ArcWaT), a model-based GIS toolbox for estimating wave transformation from wave magnitude and direction model outputs. In order to assess the ArcWaT capabilities, a case study was developed using ADCIRC + SWAN model outputs from a highly-resolved numerical mesh developed for the nearshore areas of the state of Maryland and forced with wind and pressure fields from Hurricane Irene. Results show that several wave transformation processes, i.e., wave generation, shoaling, refraction, wave breaking, diffraction, and wave attenuation due to bottom friction, are more easily identified when using ArcWaT if compared to the non-processed wave magnitude and direction model outputs. Among these processes wave attenuation due to bottom friction is found to be the most significant.

description: Jetzt geht es los, endlich wird es ernst. In diesem Monat besteigen wir das Schiff, das vom festen Ufer der Gegenwart abstößt und uns auf einem Strom der unendlich scheinenden Erinnerung fortträgt. Die Feiern zum 70. Jahrestag der Landung der Alliierten in der Normandie – vor zehn Jahren nahm erstmals ein deutscher Bundeskanzler an der regelmäßig wiederkehrenden Veranstaltung teil – machten den Anfang. Es folgen die Besinnung auf das Attentat von Sarajewo und den Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs vor einhundert, das Gedenken an die Auslösung des Zweiten Weltkriegs vor fünfundsiebzig, sodann das Fest des Mauerfalls vor fünfundzwanzig Jahren. 2015 stehen dann (u.a.) 70 Jahre 1945 und 25 Jahre 1990 thematisch an. Ist das noch besonnene Geschichtskultur oder ein lärmendes Gedächtnis ohne Maß?

description: Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, beneficial use cases for hygienic, touchless human-machine interaction have been explored. Gaze input, i.e., information input via eye-movements of users, represents a promising method for contact-free interaction in human-machine systems. In this paper, we present the GazeVending interface (GaVe), which lets users control actions on a display with their eyes. The interface works on a regular webcam, available on most of today's laptops, and only requires a one-point calibration before use. GaVe is designed in a hierarchical structure, presenting broad item cluster to users first and subsequently guiding them through another selection round, which allows the presentation of a large number of items. Cluster/item selection in GaVe is based on the dwell time of fixations, i.e., the time duration that users look at a given Cluster/item. A user study (N=22) was conducted to test optimal dwell time thresholds and comfortable human-to-display distances. Users' perception of the system, as well as error rates and task completion time were registered. We found that all participants were able to use the system with a short time training, and showed good performance during system usage, selecting a target item within a group of 12 items in 6.76 seconds on average. Participants were able to quickly understand and know how to interact with the interface. We provide design guidelines for GaVe and discuss the potentials of the system.

description: Broadband communications for high speed train is becoming a main trend in high mobility communications. The main bottleneck of this communication network is handover, since the handover occurs so frequently and the delays are so long that broadband real-time communication cannot apply. Various handover models have been developed and studied recently. However, no comprehensive evaluation method for these models is employed. To this end, we borrow Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method to evaluate six typical handover system models. Handover models that to be evaluated are introduced. A brief presentation of DEA and its characters is provided. A specific procedure of the evaluation is proposed. Then the results of the evaluation are obtained by running the DEA. Finally, we give our comments and conclusions to all the handover models. We hope our work will supply a gap in the system evaluation area.

Limits on the neutrino magnetic dipole moment from the luminosity function of hot white dwarfs

description: Recent determinations of the white dwarf luminosity function (WDLF) from very large surveys have extended our knowledge of the WDLF to very high luminosities. This, together with the availability of new full evolutionary white dwarf models that are reliable at high luminosities, have opened the possibility of testing particle emission in the core of very hot white dwarfs, where neutrino processes are dominant. We use the available WDLFs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey to constrain the value of the neutrino magnetic dipole moment ($μ_ν$). We constructed theoretical WDLFs for different values of $μ_ν$ and performed a $χ^2$-test to derive constraints on the value of $μ_ν$. We also constructed a unified WDLF by averaging the SDSS and SSS and estimated the uncertainties by taking into account the differences between the WDLF at each magnitude bin. Then we compared all WDLFs with theoretical WDLFs.Comparison between theoretical WDLFs and both the SDSS and the averaged WDLF indicates that $μ_ν$ should be $μ_ν<5\times 10^{-12}\, e\hbar/(2m_e c)$. In particular, a $χ^2$-test on the averaged WDLF suggests that observations of the disk WDLF exclude values of $μ_ν>5\times 10^{-12}e\hbar/(2m_e c)$ at more than a 95\% confidence level, even when conservative estimates of the uncertainties are adopted. Our study shows that modern WDLFs, which extend to the high-luminosity regime, are an excellent tool for constraining the emission of particles in the core of hot white dwarfs. However, discrepancies between different WDLFs suggest there might be some relevant unaccounted systematic errors. A larger set of completely independent WDLFs, as well as more detailed studies of the theoretical WDLFs and their own uncertainties, is desirable to explore the systematic uncertainties behind this constraint.

title: Emotional eating : women and food - a comforting recipe or a destructive formula?
Creators: name: Ashby, Shirley
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the discourses women use to describe their eating patterns in relation to comfort eating. The idea originated from the work of Susie Orbach (1978) which focussed upon women's eating patterns and 'fat' being rooted in powerlessness and self-denial. After undertaking a thorough search of the literature, the gap around emotional eating became apparent. This thesis examined the concept of women's relationship to food, and explored if, and if so how, women acknowledge emotional regulation through food and comfort eating. A qualitative research strategy was adopted. The process of data analysis consisted of 2 phases; phase 1 was a preliminary internet based collection of data and analysed using Thematic Analysis, and phase 2 was in the form of semi structured interviews and analysed using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis from an ontological framework of Social Constructionism. Overall, the multiple discourses in this study found that participants acknowledged the use of food for 'comfort', and that emotional distress was a mediator when describing their relationship to food. Participants constructed positions associated with; repressed anger, feelings of shame and failure to achieve an ideal, and lack of self-efficacy. This study also highlighted discourses around participants experiencing a non- tangible overwhelming 'urge' to eat that felt uncontrollable. This was in line with a sense of depleted energy and an inability to achieve the goal of weight loss. This study suggests that medium to long term psychotherapy could be a way forward to address the internal conflicts and inability to change highlighted in the participants' discourses. Inclusion of Psycho-education is also recommended for weight loss management groups in order to address the problematic area of obesity.

description: Belinda Bühler und Sabrina Fuchs widmen sich in dieser Bachelorarbeit dem Thema Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung (BPS) eines Elternteils und dessen Auswirkungen auf das Kind. Die BPS stellt für betrofene Eltern eine Herausforderung in der Erziehung ihrer Kinder dar. Diese Arbeit geht daher der Frage nach, wie sich die BPS eines Elternteils auf die Erziehungsfähigkeit und Entwicklung des Kindes auswirkt und welche unterstützenden Massnahmen die Elternberatung bieten kann. Durch eine Literaturanalyse werden die spezifischen Auswirkungen der BPS auf die Familienstruktur und insbesondere auf die Eltern-Kind-Beziehung beleuchtet. Theoretische Modelle der Entwicklungspsychologie und der Bindungstheorie werden herangezogen, um die komplexen Interak}onen und Herausforderungen zu verstehen, denen Eltern mit BPS gegenüberstehen.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die BPS eines Elternteils vielfältige Auswirkungen hat, einschliesslich möglicher Einschränkungen in der emotionalen Regulation und der Bewältigung von Entwicklungsphasen des Kindes. In der Elternberatung werden gezielte Massnahmen aufgezeigt, die darauf abzielen, die Eltern-Kind-Beziehung zu stärken und die Entwicklung des Kindes zu fördern.

Diese Arbeit betont die Bedeutung eines Ansatzes in der Sozialarbeit. Dies trägt dazu bei, die Praxis der Elternberatung zu verbessern und Familien mit einer BPS-Störung eines Elternteils umfassend zu unterstützen.
