description: We present a natural orbital-based implementation of the intermediate Hamiltonian Fock space coupled-cluster method for (1,1) sector of Fock space. The use of natural orbital significantly reduces the computational cost and can automatically choose an appropriate active space. The new method retains the charge transfer separability of the original intermediate Hamiltonian Fock space coupled-cluster method and gives excellent performance for valence, Rydberg, and charge-transfer excited states. It offers significant computational advantages over the popular equation of motion coupled cluster method for excitation energy calculations, especially when one is interested in the calculation of large no excited states.

description: Since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), face coverings are recommended to diminish person-to-person transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Some public debates concern claims regarding risks caused by wearing face masks, like, e.g., decreased blood oxygen levels and impaired cognitive capabilities. The present, pre-registered study aims to contribute clarity by delivering a direct comparison of wearing an N95 respirator and wearing no face covering. We focused on a demanding situation to show that cognitive efficacy and individual states are equivalent in both conditions. We conducted a randomized-controlled crossover trial with 44 participants. Participants performed the task while wearing an N95 FFR versus wearing none. We measured physiological (blood oxygen saturation and heart rate variability), behavioral (parameters of performance in the task), and subjective (perceived mental load) data to substantiate our assumption as broadly as possible. We analyzed data regarding both statistical equivalence and differences. All of the investigated dimensions showed statistical equivalence given our pre-registered equivalence boundaries. None of the dimensions showed a significant difference between wearing an FFR and not wearing an FFR.

description: We formulate a self-consistent field theory for polyelectrolyte brushes in the presence of counterions. We numerically solve the self-consistent field equations and study the monomer density profile, the distribution of counterions, and the total charge distribution. We study the scaling relations for the brush height and compare them to the prediction of other theories. We find a weak dependence of the brush height on the grafting density.We fit the counterion distribution outside the brush by the Gouy-Chapman solution for a virtual charged wall. We calculate the amount of counterions outside the brush and find that it saturates as the charge of the polyelectrolytes increases.

description: Effects of electron correlations on a two dimensional quantum spin Hall (QSH) system are studied. We examine possible phases of a generalized Hubbard model on a bilayer honeycomb lattice with a spin-orbit coupling and short range electron-electron repulsions at half filling, based on the slave rotor mean-field theory. Besides the conventional QSH phase and a broken-symmetry insulating phase, we find a new phase, a fractionalized quantum spin Hall phase, where the QSH effect arises for fractionalized spinons which carry only spin but not charge. Experimental manifestations of the exotic phase and effects of fluctuations beyond the saddle point approximation are also discussed.

description: I have designed a program for young children, ages 2 to10, that integrates music, movement, drama, and children’s literature. I teach this program in my own studio. This study looks at the beginnings of artistic awareness from the viewpoints of the people directly involved in the program: the parents, the students, and the teacher. The study determines that the following conditions are necessary for the development of artistic awareness in young children: an environment that includes enriched experiences that are developmentally appropriate; activities that match the children’s interests; encouragement, respect and understanding that cultivates a positive self-concept; and positive parental involvement.

Review of Tia DeNora. 2003. After Adorno: Rethinking Music Sociology. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press
Creators: name: Roy, William G.
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2006

description: For musicologists who are interested in what sociologists of music have to contribute to the study of music, there is no better place to look than the work ofTia DeNora. Most recently, her study After Adorno offers a theoretically grounded program for music sociology. The fundamental theme in all her work, fully articulated and elaborated in this volume, is that the distinction between music and society is merely analytical at best. Taking a step beyond Christopher Small’s 1998 prescription that music should be understood more as a verb than a noun-more as an activity than a thing-DeN ora observes that musicking is inherently social. After Adorno seeks to develop this proposition. Theodor Adorno, widely acknowledged as the towering figure of twentieth- century sociology of music, provides the agenda. DeNora argues that despite Adorno’s frequently noted shortcomings, the philosopher provides a solid foundation for theorizing the relationship between the musical and the social, emphasizing the relationship between sounds, texts, and recordings, on the one hand, and the social practices that create and consume those materials on the other. In DeNora’s innovative reading, however, we are now after Adorno-Adorno serves as an inspiration, a fount of insight, but only a beginning. Indeed, the book’s major contribution is DeNora’s own theoretical approach to the relationship of music and society. Eschewing both social reductionism and facile musical autonomy, DeNora demonstrates the reflexive relationship between music and society while affirming the analytical integrity of both.

A Numerical Approach to Pricing Exchange Options under Stochastic Volatility and Jump-Diffusion Dynamics

description: We consider a method of lines (MOL) approach to determine prices of European and American exchange options when underlying asset prices are modelled with stochastic volatility and jump-diffusion dynamics. As the MOL, as with any other numerical scheme for PDEs, becomes increasingly complex when higher dimensions are involved, we first simplify the problem by transforming the exchange option into a call option written on the ratio of the yield processes of the two assets. This is achieved by taking the second asset yield process as the numeraire. We also characterize the near-maturity behavior of the early exercise boundary of the American exchange option and analyze how model parameters affect this behavior. Using the MOL scheme, we conduct a numerical comparative static analysis of exchange option prices with respect to the model parameters and investigate the impact of stochastic volatility and jumps to option prices. We also consider the effect of boundary conditions at far-but-finite limits of the computational domain on the overall efficiency of the MOL scheme. Toward these objectives, a brief exposition of the MOL and how it can be implemented on computing software are provided.

Music of the Gods: Solo Song and effetti meravigliosi in the Interludes for La pellegrina
Creators: name: Treadwell, Nina
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2007

description: This study addresses the performative efficacy of the Pellegrina interludes’ solo songs because the songs garnered considerable attention during their performance in the Uffizi theater. The sense of wonder, or meraviglia, that the solo songs evoked for spectators was articulated in numerous accounts, in both eyewitness descriptions (usually diary entries by foreign visitors) and in unofficial printed accounts. Indeed, in these accounts the solo songs were typically singled out for special attention, which is striking in light of the relative brevity of many of the descriptions. Conversely, in the detailed Descrizione issued by the Medici court, Rossi rarely addresses audience response in relation to the music’s affective quality (solo song or otherwise), and when he does, he projects an anticipated response, because his booklet (unavailable for the premiere performance) was written before the performances took place. Most interpreters of the Pellegrina intermedi have disregarded the various unofficial narratives, probably because they do not agree in precise detail with Rossi’s account. Thus, unofficial sources have been neglected as a means of providing insight into the aesthetically and viscerally charged sensation of hearing (and seeing) the solo songs performed in the Uffizi theater. In conjunction with Rossi’s narrative, as well as with the Medici-sanctioned musical publication, unofficial sources help to demonstrate that the spectator-auditor’s perception of musical meraviglia was an essential component of the experiential dimension of the songs.

description: We calculate the out-of-plane thermopower in a quasi-two dimensional system, and argue that this quantity is an effective probe of the asymmetry of the single-particle spectral function. We find that the temperature and doping dependence of the out-of-plane thermopower in Bi_2(Sr,La)_2CaCu_2O_{8+δ} single crystals is broadly consistent with the behavior of the spectral function determined from ARPES and tunneling experiments. We also investigate the relationship between out-of-plane thermopower and entropy in a quasi-two dimensional material. We present experimental evidence that at moderate temperatures, there is a qualitative correspondence between the out-of-plane thermopower in Bi_2(Sr,La)_2CaCu_2O_{8+δ}, and the entropy obtained from specific heat measurements. Finally, we argue that the derivative of the entropy with respect to particle number may be the more appropriate quantity to compare with the thermopower, rather than the entropy per particle.

Virtuosity, the Violin, the Devil ... What Really Made Paganini "Demonic"?
Creators: name: Kawabata, Maiko
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2007

description: Our inherited image of Nicolo Paganini as a "demonic" violinist-a Gothic figure exemplifying Romanticism and epitomizing instrumental virtuos-ity-has never been analyzed in depth. What really made him "demonic"? According to the most popular legend, Paganini, like Faust, made a pact with Satan to acquire magical powers-enabling him to create effects on the violin beyond the reach of anyone else. Others thought he was possessed by the devil and coaxed the violin to produce what they took to be the devil's music. Still others, encouraged by the spectacle of him literally "lashing" the violin with his bow, considered him "demonic" in the Gothic sense of being corrupt and perverted, a licentious criminal in the tradition of the Marquis de Sade and Byron's hero-villains. Faust, magician, Satan, sadistic villain: the faces of Paganini were interrelated but not equivalent.

description: Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of work-life balance on the job performance of working mothers in non-profit sectors in Myanmar, identifying the crucial factors that support work-life balance with regards to family background and the work environment. A 5-point Likert scale was used to conduct quantitative research and measure satisfaction with work-life balance. The study assesses overall satisfaction in terms of personal, balancing, organizational, motivational, career advancement, and psychological factors, using descriptive and analytical methods.  Our findings indicate that despite negative psychological and career advancement factors, working mothers in non-profit sectors are satisfied with organizational support and motivation from the work environment and family, and make efforts to adjust their work-life balance. We highlight the importance of work-life balance, with its immense influence on the employee and the organization. Our research contributes to the ever-expanding literature on work-life balance and its implications for various sectors in Myanmar. Our survey, which utilized a self-designed questionnaire distributed among 208 working mothers in non-profit sectors in Yangon, Myanmar, identified six essential dimensions of work-life balance: personal, balancing, organizational, motivational, career advancement, and psychological factors. Improving work-life balance in working mothers by considering these factors will lead to a better job performance.

description: We present mid-infrared to optical properties of 22 representative irregular galaxies: 18 Im, 3 BCDs, and one Sm. The mid-IR is based on images from the Spitzer Space Telescope archives. The 3.6 and 4.5 micron bands and the UBVJHK images are used to examine disk morphology and the integrated and azimuthally averaged magnitudes and colors of stars. The non-stellar contribution to the 4.5 micron images is used to trace hot dust. The 5.8 and 8.0 micron images reveal emission from hot dust and PAHs, and both may contribute to these passbands, although we refer to the non-stellar emission as PAH emission. We compare the 8.0 micron images to Halpha. Im galaxies have no hidden bars, and those with double-exponential optical light profiles have the same at mid-IR. Most galaxies have similar optical mid-IR scale lengths. Four galaxies have super star clusters that are not visible at optical bands. Galaxies with higher area-normalized star formation rates have more dust and PAH emission relative to starlight. Hot dust and PAH emission is found mostly in high surface brightness HII regions, implying that massive stars are the primary source of heating. Galaxies with intense, wide-spread star formation have more extended PAH emssion. The ratio of PAH to Halpha emission is not constant on small scales. PAHs are associated with shell and giant filaments, so they are not destroyed during shell formation.

Non-Douglas-Kazakov phase transition of two-dimensional generalized Yang-Mills theories

description: In two-dimensional Yang-Mills and generalized Yang-Mills theories for large gauge groups, there is a dominant representation determining the thermodynamic limit of the system. This representation is characterized by a density the value of which should everywhere be between zero and one. This density itself is determined through a saddle-point analysis. For some values of the parameter space, this density exceeds one in some places. So one should modify it to obtain an acceptable density. This leads to the well-known Douglas-Kazakov phase transition. In generalized Yang-Mills theories, there are also regions in the parameter space where somewhere this density becomes negative. Here too, one should modify the density so that it remains nonnegative. This leads to another phase transition, different from the Douglas-Kazakov one. Here the general structure of this phase transition is studied, and it is shown that the order of this transition is typically three. Using carefully-chosen parameters, however, it is possible to construct models with phase-transition orders not equal to three. A class of these non-typical models are also studied.

Bach: Luther’s Musical Prophet?
Creators: name: Lloyd, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2007

description: It is impossible to read much theological analysis of Bach without encountering Martin Luther. The reformer’s name is ubiquitous: he is given both as source and as ultimate authority for the theological ideas supposedly expressed in Bach’s music. Most would agree that Luther provides a vital context for interpreting Bach’s sacred music.Perhaps it is unsurprising that musicologists have turned to Luther when interpreting Bach. Despite many critiques of the hermeneutic method-such as that of Carolyn Abbate (2004)-musicologists still search out meaning in music by investigating a suitable “horizon of expectations” within which to situate music’s meaning and affect historically. My own view is that hermeneutics is inescapable to most of us brought up within the musicological tradition; I tend to agree with Karol Berger’s assertion, contra Abbate, that “we cannot help it: we are hermeneutic creatures through and through”. Abbate argues for the privileging of the experience of performed music over its hermeneutic interpretation; Berger counters that, while aesthetic experience is indeed an important and under-appreciated part of academic study, the hermeneutic and the experiential cannot be so neatly separated. I side with Berger on this point: whether because of training, conditioning, or instinctive response, many-perhaps most-listeners to Bach’s music seem to want to contextualize and understand theirresponses by studying what Bach himself might have thought about his music’s purpose and origin.

description: Mathieu groups are one type of the sporadic simple groups, they turn out not to be isomorphic to any member of the infinite families of finite simple groups. Study these groups is interesting since their orders are very high. Groupoid can be used to find the presentation of the subgroups of the Mathieu groups. The idea is creating a groupoid by acting the Mathieu group on a subset of this group and then calculating the presentation of the vertex group of the groupoid which represents the presentation of the subgroup as the vertex groups are isomorphic.

description: Registration is a fundamental task in medical robotics and is often a crucial step for many downstream tasks such as motion analysis, intra-operative tracking and image segmentation. Popular registration methods such as ANTs and NiftyReg optimize objective functions for each pair of images from scratch, which are time-consuming for 3D and sequential images with complex deformations. Recently, deep learning-based registration approaches such as VoxelMorph have been emerging and achieve competitive performance. In this work, we construct a test-time training for deep deformable image registration to improve the generalization ability of conventional learning-based registration model. We design multi-scale deep networks to consecutively model the residual deformations, which is effective for high variational deformations. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of multi-scale deep registration with test-time training based on Dice coefficient for image segmentation and mean square error (MSE), normalized local cross-correlation (NLCC) for tissue dense tracking tasks.

description: We study the cross-correlation between galaxies of different luminosities and colors, using a sample selected from the SDSS Dr 4. Galaxies are divided into 6 samples according to luminosity, and each of these samples is divided into red and blue subsamples. Projected auto-correlation and cross-correlation is estimated for these subsample. At projected separations r_p > 1\mpch, all correlation functions are roughly parallel, although the correlation amplitude depends systematically on luminosity and color. On r_p < 1\mpch, the auto- and cross-correlation functions of red galaxies are significantly enhanced relative to the corresponding power laws obtained on larger scales. Such enhancement is absent for blue galaxies and in the cross-correlation between red and blue galaxies. We esimate the relative bias factor on scales r > 1\mpch for each subsample using its auto-correlation function and cross-correlation functions. The relative bias factors obtained from different methods are similar. For blue galaxies the luminosity-dependence of the relative bias is strong over the luminosity range probed (-23.0

description: Confined samples of liquid crystals are characterized by a variety of topological defects and can be exposed to external constraints such as extreme confinements with nontrivial topology. Here we explore the intrinsic structure of smectic colloidal layers dictated by the interplay between entropy and an imposed external topology. Considering an annular confinement as a basic example, a plethora of competing states is found with nontrivial defect structures ranging from laminar states to multiple smectic domains and arrays of edge dislocations which we refer to as Shubnikov states in formal analogy to the characteristic of type-II superconductors. Our particle-resolved results, gained by a combination of real-space microscopy of thermal colloidal rods and fundamental-measure-based density functional theory of hard anisotropic bodies, agree on a quantitative level.

Three spectral lines at 620 nm, 631 nm, and 647 nm are identified and attributed to the SnV center due to their occurrence in the PL spectra of the very same single-photon emitting defects. We show that the relative occurrence of the three spectral features can be modified by oxidizing the sample surface following thermal annealing. We finally report the relevant emission properties of each class of individual emitters, including the excited state emission lifetime and the emission intensity saturation parameters.

Boris’s Bells, By Way of Schubert and Others

description: We define “bell chords” as different dominant-seventh chords whose roots are separated by multiples of interval 3, the minor third.The Boris bell chords are an early milestone in the history of nonfunctional harmony; yet the two harmonies, considered individually, are of course absolutely functional in classical contexts. This essay traces some of the historical antecedents of the bell chords as well as their developing descendants. The expectation of tonic harmony to follow a dominant-seventh sonority is a principal component of forehearing; we assume, in our ordinary and long-tested experience of tonal music, that the tonic function will follow the dominant-seventh function and be fortified by it. So familiar is this everyday phenomenon that it hardly needs to be stated; we need mention it here only to assert the contrary case, namely, that the dominant-seventh function followed by something else introduces the element of the unexpected.

description: Since roughly the mid-1990s, scholars in a number of humanities and social science disciplines have turned their attention to ontological, episte-mological, and phenomenological questions concerning sound. Historians Corbin (1998), Smith (1999), and Rath (2003), for example, have sought to "re-sound" historical spaces and eras; historians of science Bijsterveld (2001), Thompson (2002), and Blesser and Salter (2007) have examined architectural acoustics and the construction of a built sonic modernity; Gitelman (1999), Sterne (2003), and Weheliye (2005) have, albeit from quite different perspectives, explored the nexus of sound recording and reproduction technologies and cultural practices in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; in a special issue of Social Studies of Science, Pinch and Bijsterveld (2004) called for the establishment of a field of "sound studies"; and, while having entered the discussion of the sonic somewhat earlier, film historians and theorists, especially Lastra (2000), Altman, ed. (1992), and Chion (1994), have provided crucial analytical and historical sonic frameworks to think both with and against.

description: We present a framework for deciding whether a quantum state is separable or entangled using covariance matrices of locally measurable observables. This leads to the covariance matrix criterion as a general separability criterion. We demonstrate that this criterion allows to detect many states where the familiar criterion of the positivity of the partial transpose fails. It turns out that a large number of criteria which have been proposed to complement the positive partial transpose criterion - the computable cross norm or realignment criterion, the criterion based on local uncertainty relations, criteria derived from extensions of the realignment map, and others - are in fact a corollary of the covariance matrix criterion.

description: The compact dark objects with very large masses residing at the centres of galaxies are believed to be black holes. Due to the gravitational lensing effect, they would cast a shadow larger than their horizon size over the background, whose shape and size can be calculated. For the supermassive black hole candidate Sgr A*, this shadow spans an angular size of about 50 micro arc second, which is under the resolution attainable with the current astronomical instruments. Such a shadow image of Sgr A* will be observable at about 1 mm wavelength, considering the scatter broadening by the interstellar medium. By simulating the black hole shadow image of Sgr A* with the radiatively inefficient accretion flow model, we demonstrate that analyzing the properties of the visibility function can help us determine some parameters of the black hole configuration, which is instructive to the sub-millimeter VLBI observations of Sgr A* in the near future.

The relationship between symbolic style and kindergarten children's emergent writing
Creators: name: Steffler, Bonita
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: According to research, differences in the way young children learn using symbols is a characteristic of growth and development. Harvard's Project Zero researchers have suggested that children possess characteristic styles of symbol use in the way they draw, create using clay and play objects, and tell stories. In particular, the "symbolic styles" of Patterners and Dramatists have been identified. [This study investigated the relationship between kindergarten students' preferred symbolic style and their early writing attempts.] Six focal children (3 Patterners, and 3 Dramatists) were selected from a total of 26 children. Over a period of 4 months, data were collected at a classroom writing centre. Collected data included the children's written and drawn products, audiotaped recordings of the children's talk, observations of journal writing sessions, and taped responses to interview questions. This data were analyzed to determine any similarities or differences in each groups' approach to journal writing and their views about writing. Data analysis revealed both similarities and differences between Patterners and Dramatists. Differences among group members were observed in some instances. Discussion compared the children's written/drawn products and observed writing behaviors both to each other and to those described in the literature.

description: In this stu dy, two dimensional ( 2D correlation analysis wa s utilized for achieving a significant improvement in the signal to noise (S/N) ratio of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) data . Time resolved LIBS spectra of metallic, bimetal lic targets and the normal LIBS spectra of bimetallic targets with varying compositions were used for the detailed analysis . The diagonal of the matrix in the synchronous spectra was used to demonstrate the improvement in the S/N ratio. An improvemen t in the peak intensities by few order s of magnitude accompanied by suppression in the noise was observed. The correlations between LIBS peaks were also visualized using 2 D plots. Correlation strengths of atomic transitions were visualized in Aluminum (Al), Copper (Cu), and Brass whereas correlation strengths of atomic, atomic, and ionic transitions were visualized in Au Ag bimetallic targets with different compositions (Au30Ag70, Au50Ag50, Au80 Ag20). The improved spectra were subsequently used in the principal component analysis for classification studies of four compositions of bimetallic targets Au20Ag80, Au30Ag70, Au50 Ag50, and Au80Ag20 The variance of the first three principal components were found to be improved from the analysis. The accumulated percentage of explained variance of 95 was achieved with the first three components from improved spectra whereas only ~ 80 was achieved with the regular LIBS spectra from PCA studies

description: The magnetic structure and fluctuations of tetragonal GdRhIn5 were studied by resonant x-ray diffraction at the Gd LII and LIII edges, followed by a renormalization group analysis for this and other related Gd-based compounds, namely Gd2IrIn8 and GdIn3. These compounds are spin-only analogs of the isostructural Ce-based heavy-fermion superconductors. The ground state of GdRhIn5 shows a commensurate antiferromagnetic spin structure with propagation vector tau = (0,1/2, 1/2), corresponding to a parallel spin alignment along the a-direction and antiparallel alignment along b and c. A comparison between this magnetic structure and those of other members of the Rm(Co,Rh,Ir)n In3m+2n family (R =rare earth, n = 0, 1; m = 1, 2) indicates that, in general, tau is determined by a competition between first-(J1) and second-neighbor(J2) antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions. While a large J1 /J2 ratio favors an antiparallel alignment along the three directions (the so-called G-AFM structure), a smaller ratio favors the magnetic structure of GdRhIn5 (C-AFM). In particular, it is inferred that the heavy-fermion superconductor CeRhIn5 is in a frontier between these two ground states, which may explain its non-collinear spiral magnetic structure. The critical behavior of GdRhIn5 close to the paramagnetic transition at TN = 39 K was also studied in detail. A typical second-order transition with the ordered magnetization critical parameter beta = 0.35 was experimentally found, and theoretically investigated by means of a renormalization group analysis.

description: The detection of flares with the Swift satellite triggered a lot of bservational and theoretical interest in these phenomena. As a consequence a large analysis effort started within the community to characterize the phenomenon and at the same time a variety of theoretical speculations have been proposed to explain it. In this presentation we discuss part of the results we obtained analyzing a first statistical sample of GRBs observed with Swift. The first goal of this research is very simple: derive those observational properties that could distinguish between internal and external shock and between an ever active central engine and delayed shocks (refreshing) related to a very small initial Lorentz bulk factor. We discuss first the method of analysis and the morphology evidencing the similarities such flares have with the prompt emission pulses. We conclude that GRB flares are due to internal shocks and leave still open the question of whether or not the central engine is active for a time of the order of 105 seconds after the prompt emission.

Mott insulating phases and quantum phase transitions of interacting spin-3/2 fermionic cold atoms in optical lattices at half filling

description: We study various Mott insulating phases of interacting spin-3/2 fermionic ultracold atoms in two-dimensional square optical lattices at half filling. Using a generalized one-band Hubbard model with hidden SO(5) symmetry, we identify two distinct symmetry breaking phases: the degenerate antiferromagnetic spin-dipole/spin-octupole ordering and spin-quadrupole ordering, depending on the sign of the spin-dependent interaction. These two competing orders exhibit very different symmetry properties, low energy excitations and topological characterizations. Near the SU(4) symmetric point, a quantum critical state with a $π$-flux phase may emerge due to strong quantum fluctuations, leading to spin algebraic correlations and gapless excitations.

description: This twelve-essay anthology brings together a diverse group of scholars-musicologists, film scholars, media and communication scholars, literature and area specialists- around one topic: the use of “pre-existnig music” in film. Through the anthology is somewhat inconsistent in quality and type of contribution, its appearance is welcome, for it provides not only the most extensive treatment of the subject to date but also the most convincing proof of the topic’s significance and intrinsically interdisciplinary, collaborative nature. The book is divided into two sections: “Pre-existing Classical Film Scores” and “Popular Music and Film”. The term “scores” in the heading of the first section suggests that it deals only with classical music used nondiegetically; in fact, both sections touch on diegetic and nondiegetic uses of repertories.

description: Cosmic voids as typical under-density regions in the large scale Universe are known for their hyperbolic properties as an ability to deviate the photon beams. The under-density then is acting as the negative curvature in the hyperbolic spaces. The hyperbolicity of voids has to lead to distortion in the statistical analysis at galactic surveys. We reveal the sensitivity of the hyperbolicity and hence of the distortion with respect to the ratio of void/wall scales which are observable parameters. This provides a principal possibility to use the distortion in the galactic surveys in revealing the line-of sight number of cosmic voids and their characteristic scales.
