description: A dedicated single-cell SiPM structure is designed and measured to investigate the radiation damage effects on the gain and breakdown voltage of SiPMs exposed to a reactor neutron fluence up to $Φ$ = 5e13 cm$^{-2}$. The cell has a pitch of 15 $μ$m. Results of the measurements and analysis of the IV-curves are presented. Impact of the self-heating effect was investigated. The radiation damage uniformity of 1 cell and 120 cells was checked up to $U_\mathit{ov}$ = 1.7 V. Fluence dependence of the breakdown voltage from the current measurements $U^{IV}_\mathit{bd}$ was extracted and compared to that of the breakdown voltage from the gain measurements $U^{G}_\mathit{bd}$.

description: The ability to indicate a failure to understand a message is a critical pragmatic (social) language skill for managing communication breakdowns and supporting successful communicative exchanges. The current study examined the ability to signal noncomprehension across different types of confusing message conditions in children and adolescents with fragile X syndrome (FXS), Down syndrome (DS), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and typical development (TD). Controlling for nonverbal mental age and receptive vocabulary skills, youth with comorbid FXS and ASD and those with DS were less likely than TD controls to signal noncomprehension of confusing messages. Youth with FXS without ASD and those with idiopathic ASD did not differ from controls. No sex differences were detected in any group. Findings contribute to current knowledge of pragmatic profiles in different forms of genetically-based neurodevelopmental disorders associated with intellectual disability, and the role of sex in the expression of such profiles.

description: In addition to having basic physical needs for food, water and shelter, humans are motivated to satisfy their innate psychological needs for autonomy (feeling volitional), competence (feeling effective), and relatedness (feeling connected). When people’s psychological needs are not satisfied or are actively frustrated, people are sometimes motivated to seek out need satisfaction in other ways. The purpose of the present research is to examine how levels of psychological need satisfaction and frustration are related to specific social behaviours and distinct personality profiles. In doing so, we hope to answer two sets of unresolved questions in the field of personality psychology. The first question concerns whether levels of need frustration are associated with general levels interpersonal problems and expression of maladaptive personality traits. We hypothesize that levels of need frustration will predict general levels of interpersonal distress and personality dysfunction. The second question concerns the distinct styles and types of interpersonal problems and maladaptive personality traits that people manifest. We hypothesize that people’s distinctive personality and interpersonal traits will interact with their levels of need frustration to predict their unique profile of interpersonal problems and personality dysfunction.

description: Extreme heat is the leading cause of w eather-related mortality in the U.S. Extreme heat also affects human health through heat stress and can exacerbate underlying medical conditions that lead to increased morbidity and mortality. In this study, data on emergency department (ED) visits for heat-related illness (HRI) and other selected diseases were analyzed during three heat events across North Carolina from 2007 to 2011. These heat events were identified based on the issuance and verification of heat products from local National Weather Service forecast offices (i.e. Heat Advisory, Heat Watch, and Excessive Heat Warning). The observed number of ED visits during these events were compared to the expected number of ED visits during several control periods to determine excess morbidity resulting from extreme heat. All recorded diagnoses were analyzed for each ED visit, thereby providing insight into the specific pathophysiological mechanisms and underlying health conditions associated with exposure to extreme heat. The most common form of HRI was heat exhaustion, while the percentage of visits with heat stroke was relatively low (<10 %). The elderly (>65 years of age) were at greatest risk for HRI during the early summer heat event (8.9 visits per 100,000), while young and middle age adults (18–44 years of age) were at greatest risk during the mid-summer event (6.3 visits per 100,000). Many of these visits were likely due to work-related exposure. The most vulnerable demographic during the late summer heat event was adolescents (15–17 years of age), which may relate to the timing of organized sports. This demographic also exhibited the highest visit rate for HRI among all three heat events (10.5 visits per 100,000). Significant increases (p < 0.05) in visits with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were noted during the three heat events (3–8 %). The greatest increases were found in visits with hypotension during the late summer event (23 %) and sequelae during the early summer event (30 %), while decreases were noted for visits with hemorrhagic stroke during the middle and late summer events (13–24 %) and for visits with aneurysm during the early summer event (15 %). Significant increases were also noted in visits with respiratory diseases (5–7 %). The greatest increases in this category were found in visits with pneumonia and influenza (16 %), bronchitis and emphysema (12 %), and COPD (14 %) during the early summer event. Significant increases in visits with nervous system disorders were also found during the early summer event (16 %), while increases in visits with diabetes were noted during the mid-summer event (10 %).

description: A disformal coupling between two scalar fields is considered in the context of cosmological inflation. The coupling introduces novel derivative interactions mixing the kinetic terms of the fields but without introducing superluminal or unstable propagation of the two scalar fluctuation modes. Though the typical effect of the disformal coupling is to inhibit one of the fields from inflating the universe, the energy density of the other field can drive viable near Sitter -inflation in the presence of nontrivial disformal dynamics, in particular when one assumes exponential instead of power-law form for the couplings. The linear perturbation equations are written for the two-field system, its canonical degrees of freedom are quantised, their spectra are derived and the inflationary predictions are reported for numerically solved exponential models. A generic prediction is low tensor-to-scalar ratio.

description: Cosmic background neutrinos ($C_νB)$ helicity composition is different for Dirac or Majorana neutrinos making detectors based on $C_νB$ capture sensitive to the nature of neutrinos. We calculate, for the first time, the helicity changes of neutrinos crossing dark matter fields, to quantitatively calculate this effect on the capture rate. We show that a fraction of neutrinos change their helicity, regardless of them being deflected by a void or a dark matter halo. The average signal from the 100 most massive voids or halos in a Gpc$^3$ gives a prediction that if neutrinos are Dirac, the density of the $C_ν B$ background measured on Earth should be 48 cm${^{-3}}$ for left-helical neutrinos, a decrease of 15% (53.6 cm${^{-3}}$; 5%) for a halo (void) with respect to the standard calculation without including gravitational effects due to large scale structures. In terms of the total capture rate in a 100 g tritium detector, this translates in $4.9^{+1.1}_{-0.8}$ neutrinos per year for the Dirac case, as a function of the unknown neutrino mass scale, or 8.1 per year if neutrinos are Majorana. Thus although smaller than the factor two for the non-relativistic case, it is still large enough to be detected and it highlights the power of future $C_ν B$ detectors, as an alternative to neutrinoless double beta decay experiments, to discover the neutrino nature.

description: Ising spin glasses with bimodal and Gaussian near-neighbor interaction distributions are studied through numerical simulations. The non-self-averaging (normalized inter-sample variance) parameter $U_{22}(T,L)$ for the spin glass susceptibility (and for higher moments $U_{nn}(T,L)$) is reported for dimensions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7. In each dimension $d$ the non-self-averaging parameters in the paramagnetic regime vary with the sample size L and the correlation length $ξ(T,L)$ as $U_{nn}(β,L) = [K_{d}ξ(T,L)/L]^d$, and so follow a renormalization group law due to Aharony and Harris (1991). Empirically, it is found that the $K_{d}$ values are independent of d to within the statistics. The maximum values $[U_{nn}(T,L)]_{\max}$ are almost independent of L in each dimension, and remarkably the estimated thermodynamic limit critical $[U_{nn}(T,L)]_{\max}$ peak values are also dimension-independent to within the statistics and so are "hyperuniversal". These results show that the form of the spin-spin correlation function distribution at criticality in the large $L$ limit is independent of dimension within the ISG family. Inspection of published non-self-averaging data for 3D Heisenberg and XY spin glasses the light of the Ising spin glass non-self-averaging results show behavior incompatible with a spin-driven ordering scenario, but compatible with that expected on a chiral-driven ordering interpretation.

description: Metaverse is an engaging way to recreate in a digital environment the real world. It allows people to connect not by just browsing a website, but by using headsets and virtual reality techniques. The metaverse is actually in a rapid development phase, thanks to the advances in different topics. This paper proposes a smart tourism platform in which tourists can interact with guides and different kinds of suppliers, without the need to phisically visit the city they are in. We propose some techniques to scan the real world and transpose it in a metaverse platform, using the recreation of an Italian city, Bari, as a real life scenario.

description: The purpose of the present study is to examine how individual differences in authenticity relate to interpersonal functioning, with a specific interest in examining how authenticity relates to self-congruence in interpersonal functioning. Here, we define interpersonal self-congruence as the extent to which one’s profile of characteristics at one level of functioning (e.g., one’s profile of interpersonal values) is corresponsive with one’s profile of characteristics at another level of functioning (e.g., one’s profile of interpersonal traits). A secondary purpose of the present study is to examine the extent to which interpersonal self-congruence mediates the association between individual differences in authenticity and psychological adjustment.

description: We present an update to the QCD global analysis of single transverse-spin asymmetries presented in Cammarota, et al., PRD 102, 054002 (2020) (JAM3D-20). JAM3D-20 simultaneously included transverse momentum dependent and collinear twist-3 observables, both of which are sensitive to quark-gluon-quark correlations in hadrons. In this study we extract for the first time the twist-3 chiral odd fragmentation function $\tilde{H}$ by incorporating the $\sinϕ_s$ modulation data from SIDIS along with its contribution to the single transverse-spin asymmetry in pion production from proton-proton collisions. We also explore the impact of lattice QCD tensor charge calculations and the Soffer bound on our global analysis. We find that both constraints can be accommodated within our results, with $\tilde{H}$ playing a key role in maintaining agreement with the data from proton-proton collisions.

description: Using a semi-analytical model of the evolution of the Milky Way, we show how secular evolution can create distinct overdensities in the phase space of various properties (e.g. age vs metallicity or abundance ratios vs age) corresponding to the thin and thick discs. In particular, we show how key properties of the Solar vicinity can be obtained by secular evolution, with no need for external or special events, like galaxy mergers or paucity in star formation. This concerns the long established double-branch behaviour of [alpha/Fe] vs metallicity and the recently found non-monotonic evolution of the stellar abundance gradient, evaluated at the birth radii of stars. We extend the discussion to other abundance ratios and we suggest a classification scheme, based on the nature of the corresponding yields (primary vs secondary or odd elements) and on the lifetimes of their sources (short-lived vs long-lived ones). The latter property is critical in determining the single- or double- branch behavior of an elementary abundance ratio in the Solar neighborhood. We underline the high diagnostic potential of this finding, which can help to separate clearly elements with sources evolving on different timescales and help determining the site of e.g. the r-process(es). We define the "abundance distance" between the thin and thick disc sequences as an important element for such a separation. We also show how the inside-out evolution of the Milky Way disc leads rather to a single-branch behavior in other disc regions.

Fast algorithms for nonlinear and constrained phase retrieval in near-field X-ray holography based on Tikhonov regularization

description: Based on phase retrieval, lensless coherent imaging and in particular holography offers quantitative phase and amplitude images. This is of particular importance for spectral ranges where suitable lenses are challenging, such as for hard x-rays. Here, we propose a phase retrieval approach for inline x-ray holography based on Tikhonov regularization applied to the full nonlinear forward model of image formation. The approach can be seen as a nonlinear generalization of the well-established contrast-transfer-function (CTF) reconstruction method. While similar methods have been proposed before, the current work achieves nonlinear, constrained phase retrieval at competitive computation times. We thus enable high-throughput imaging of optically strong objects beyond the scope of CTF. Using different examples of inline holograms obtained from illumination by a x-ray waveguide-source, we demonstrate superior image quality even for samples which do not obey the assumption of a weakly varying phase. Since the presented approach does not rely on linearization, we expect it to be well suited also for other probes such as visible light or electrons, which often exhibit strong phase interaction.

description: Access to supermarkets is lacking in many rural areas. Small food stores are often available, but typically lack healthy food items such as fresh produce. We assessed small food store retailer willingness to implement 12 healthy store strategies to increase the availability, display, and promotion of healthy foods and decrease the availability, display, and promotion of tobacco products. Interviews were conducted with 55 small food store retailers in three rural North Carolina counties concurrently with store observations assessing current practices related to the strategies. All stores sold low-calorie beverages, sugar-sweetened beverages, candy and cigarettes. Nearly all sold smokeless tobacco and cigars/cigarillos, and 72% sold e-cigarettes. Fresh fruits were sold at 30.2% of stores; only 9.4% sold fresh vegetables. Retailers reported being most willing to stock skim/low-fat milk, display healthy snacks near the register, and stock whole wheat bread. About 50% were willing to stock at least three fresh fruits and three fresh vegetables, however only 2% of stores currently stocked these foods. Nearly all retailers expressed unwillingness to reduce the availability of tobacco products or marketing. Our results show promise for working with retailers in rural settings to increase healthy food availability in small food stores. However, restrictions on retail tobacco sales and marketing may be more feasible through local tobacco control ordinances, or could be included with healthy foods ordinances that require stores to stock a minimum amount of healthy foods.

description: We study the post-quench unitary dynamics of a quantum sunburst spin model, composed of a transverse-field quantum Ising ring which is suddenly coupled to a set of independent external qubits along the longitudinal direction, in a way to respect a residual translation invariance and the Ising $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Starting from the different equilibrium quantum phases of the system, we characterize the decoherence and the energy storage in the external qubits, which may be interpreted as a probing apparatus for the inner Ising ring. Our results show that, in proximity of the quantum transitions of the Ising ring, either first-order or continuous, it is possible to put forward dynamic FSS frameworks which unveil peculiar scaling regimes, depending on the way in which the large-size limit is taken: either by fixing the number $n$ of probing qubits, or their interspace distance $b$. In any case, the dependence of the various observables on $n$ can be reabsorbed into a redefinition of the quench parameter by a $\sqrt{n}$ prefactor. We also address the role of a nearest-neighbor coupling between the external qubits.

description: Categorical bundles provide a natural framework for gauge theories involving multiple gauge groups. Unlike the case of traditional bundles there are distinct notions of triviality, and hence also of local triviality, for categorical bundles. We study categorical principal bundles that are product bundles in the categorical sense, developing the relationship between functorial sections of such bundles and trivializations. We construct functorial cocycles with values in categorical groups using a suitable family of locally defined functions on the object space of the base category. Categorical product bundles being too rigid to give a widely applicable model for local triviality, we introduce the notion of a twisted-product categorical bundle. We relate such bundles to decorated categorical bundles that contain more information, specifically parallel transport data.

description: We study free surface water waves in a 2-D symmetric triangular channel with sides that have a 45o slope. We develop models for small amplitude nonlinear waves, extending earlier studies that have considered the linearized problem. We see that a combination of heuristic small amplitude expansions lead to a relatively simple system that we then use to study interactions of low frequency modes. The formalism relies on an explicit construction of the normal modes of the linear problem and a new way to represent the free surface. We argue that the construction can be applied to more general geometries. We also examine the structure and some dynamical features of spectral truncations for the lowest even modes.
description: This is a revised version of our manuscript: Water wave problem with inclined walls. The paper proposes a new way to define the free surface that solves a number of problems arising in domains with inclined walls in an elegant way. Our main goal is to show how to combine this definition and the equations of motion to obtain simplified models and physically interesting results

description: In recent years, patient-reported outcomes have become increasingly collected and integrated into electronic health records. However, there are few cross-cutting recommendations and limited guidance available in this rapidly developing research area. Our goal is to report key findings from a 2013 Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute workshop on this topic and a summary of actions that followed from the workshop, and present resulting recommendations that address patient, clinical and research/quality improvement barriers to regular use. These findings provide actionable guidance across research and practice settings to promote and sustain widespread adoption of patient-reported outcomes across patient populations, healthcare settings and electronic health record systems.

description: Our recent studies of electroluminescence (EL) properties in two-phase argon detectors for dark matter searches have revealed the presence of unusual delayed pulses in the EL signal in the form of two slow components with time constants of about 5 and 50 $μ$s. These components were shown to be present in the charge signal itself, which clearly indicates that drifting electrons are temporarily trapped on two states of metastable negative argon ions which have never been observed before. In this work, using the pressure dependence of the ratio of slow component contributions measured in experiment, it is deduced that these states are those of two types of metastable negative molecular ions, $\mathrm{Ar}_2^{*-}(b \ ^4Σ_u^-)$ and $\mathrm{Ar}_2^{*-}(a \ ^4Σ_g^+)$ for the higher and lower energy level respectively.

description: No studies have examined how parental burnout or its family context interact in time in a sample of parents with parental burnout. We will therefore conduct an ESM study (N = around 40 parents) measuring three features of parental burnout and eight family context variables daily over two months. We plan to analyze the data using a multilevel autoregressive model (mlVAR), which allow us to generate three networks: temporal, contemporaneous, and between-subjects.
Wise reasoning and third party intervention
Creators: name: Dorfman, Anna
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: This experimental pilot study examines whether the decision to intervene in a conflict is associated with wise reasoning. Specifically whether when third parties voluntarily decide to intervene in a conflict between disputants, they engage in more wise reasoning about the conflict as compared to when third parties voluntarily decide not to intervene.

description: Die Suchfunktion ist in vielen Softwareprodukten eine wichtige Komponente, die häufig zur Navigation in der Anwendung dient. Gerade, wenn große Datenmengen bereitgestellt werden, wie es bei Streamingdiensten (Netflix, Spotify) oder bei E-Commerce-Plattformen (Amazon, Zalando) der Fall ist, ist es wichtig, dass die Suchergebnisse für den Nutzer relevant sind. Eine für den Nutzer effektive Navigation mit der Suchfunktion ist nur möglich, wenn die Suchergebnisse eine ausreichend große Relevanz für den Nutzer bieten. Die Organisationen, welche die oben genannten Dienste betreiben, versuchen daher, die Relevanz ihrer Suchergeb­nisse zu optimieren. Eine Optimierung auf Relevanz ist zwar für eine spezielle Suche einfach, jedoch können dabei häufig Seiteneffekte auftreten, welche die Relevanz über alle Suchen verschlechtern. In einem E-Commerce-Shop kann das Einfiihren des Synonyms „Birne -> Glühbirne" dafür sorgen, dass Nutzer, die Gliihbirnen kaufen wollen und nach „Birne" su­chen nun auch Gliihbirnen finden. Falls Nutzer aber das Obst Birne kaufen möchten, sind die Ergebnisse für diese Gruppe irrelevant. Bei einer Optimierung der Relevanz über alle Su­chen können Qualitätsmanagementsysteme unterstützen. Ein Qualitätsmanagementsystem fiir die Relevanz von Suchergebnissen muss nicht nur fachliche und technische, sondern auch organisatorische Anforderungen beachten, um die Optimierungspotenziale vollständig aus­zuschöpfen. Diese Arbeit erläutert diese Anforderungen und stellt eine Architektur für ein Qualitätsmanagementsystem vor. Die Architektur wird hinsichtlich der Erfüllung der erläu­terten Anforderungen analysiert. Desweiteren werden die Vor- und Nachteile fiir die jeweiligen Architekturentscheidungen unter Betrachtung der Anforderungen diskutiert. Das Ziel der Ar­beit ist es, die Architektur entsprechend zu erläutern, sodass eine Organisation diese für sich angepasst implementieren kann.

description: Form factors are crucial theory input in order to extract $|V_{cb}|$ from $B \to D^{(*)}\ellν$ decays, to calculate the Standard Model prediction for ${\cal R}(D^{(*)})$ and to assess the impact of New Physics. In this context, the Dispersive Matrix approach, a first-principle calculation of the form factors, using no experimental data but rather only lattice QCD results as input, was recently applied to $B \to D^{(*)}\ellν$. It predicts (within the Standard Model) a much milder tension with the ${\cal R}(D^*)$ measurements than the other form factor approaches, while at the same time giving a value of $|V_{cb}|$ compatible with the inclusive value. However, this comes at the expense of creating tensions with differential $B\to D^*\ellν$ distributions (with light leptons). In this article, we explore the implications of using the Dispersive Matrix method form factors, in light of the recent Belle (II) measurements of the longitudinal polarization fraction of the $D^*$ in $B\to D^*\ellν$ with light leptons, $F_L^{\ell}$, and the forward-backward asymmetry, $A_{\rm FB}^{\ell}$. We find that the Dispersive Matrix approach predicts a Standard Model value of $F_L^{\ell}$ that is in significant tension with these measurements, while mild deviations in $A_{\rm FB}^{\ell}$ appear. Furthermore, $F_L^{\ell}$ is very insensitive to New Physics such that the latter cannot account for the tension between Dispersive Matrix predictions and its measurement. While this tension can be resolved by deforming the original Dispersive Matrix form factor shapes within a global fit, a tension in ${\cal R}(D^*)$ reemerges. As this tension is milder than for the other form factors, it can be explained by New Physics not only in the tau lepton channel but also in the light lepton modes.

description: In this article, we conduct a sequential study of possible observable images of black hole simulators described by two recently obtained rotating geometries in Einstein gravity, minimally coupled to a scalar field. One of them, "Kerr-like" (KL), can be seen as a legitimate alternative to the rotating Fisher-Janis-Newman-Winicour (FJNW) solution, and the other (TSL) is a scalar generalization of the Tomimatsu-Sato solution. Unlike the previous version of the rotating FJNW, these solutions do indeed satisfy the system's equations of motion. Our study includes both analytical and numerical calculations of equatorial circular orbits, photon regions, gravitational shadows, and radiation from thin accretion disks for various values of the object's angular momentum and scalar charge. The TSL solution was found to simulate Kerr for all valid parameter values with high accuracy. The maximum difference between the deviations of shadows from a circle for the Kerr and TSL cases does not exceed 1% and fits into the experimental observational data M87*. However, near-extreme objects show two times smaller peak values of the observed outflow luminosity of the accretion disk than for the Kerr black hole. The KL solution cannot be ruled out by the experimental data for small values of the scalar charge either. As the scalar charge increases, the optical properties change dramatically. The shadow can become multiply connected, strongly oblate, and the photon region does not hide the singularity, so it should be classified as a strong singularity.

description: We present analysis of fast variability of Very Large Telescope/ISAAC (infra-red), \textit{XMM-Newton}/OM (optical) and EPIC-pn (X-ray), and RXTE/PCA (X-ray) observations of the black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4 in a rising hard state of its outburst in 2010. We report the first detection of a Quasi Periodic Oscillation (QPO) in the infra-red band (IR) of a black hole X-ray binary. The QPO is detected at 0.08 Hz in the IR as well as two optical bands (U and V). Interestingly, these QPOs are at half the X-ray QPO frequency at 0.16 Hz, which is classified as the type-C QPO; a weak sub-harmonic close to the IR and optical QPO frequency is also detected in X-rays. The broad band sub-second time scale variability is strongly correlated in IR/X-ray bands, with X-rays leading the IR by over 100 ms. This short time delay, shape of the cross correlation function and spectral energy distribution strongly indicate that this broad band variable IR emission is the synchrotron emission from the jet. A jet origin for the IR QPO is strongly favoured, but cannot be definitively established with the current data. The spectral energy distribution indicates a thermal disc origin for the bulk of the optical emission, but the origin of the optical QPO is unclear. We discuss our findings in the context of the existing models proposed to explain the origin of variability.

description: The presence of a particular version of kantharos, absent from the Greek ceramic repertoire, has long ago been noticed in the Archaic wares of the Northeastern Aegean/Northwestern Anatolia. This tall conical cup with two high, strap, rim-handles and low, ring base appears mainly in the repertory of the G2/3 and Gray Wares, but contemporary variations of the shape, produced in the style of other pottery groups (Chian, Lemnian monochrome Red Ware, LG/Sub-Geometric from Antandros, Samian LG) evidence the flux of knowledge between the workshops of the Archaic North Aegean ceramic koine. The kantharos, however, is well paralleled in a LBA West Anatolian vase, which provides a possible prototype of the shape.
description: Das Vorkommen einer speziellen, nicht im griechischen Keramikrepertoire vorhandenen Kantharos-Form ist seit längerem im archaischen Warenkatalog der Nordost-Ägäis und in Nordwest-Anatolien bekannt. Dieser hochaufragende konische Becher mit zwei überrandständigen Bandhenkeln und flachem Standring kommt hauptsächlich im Repertoire der G2/3-Ware und der Grauen Waren vor, jedoch belegen zeitgleiche Formvarianten, produziert im Stile anderer Keramikgruppen (monochrome rote Ware von Chios, Lemnos, spät/subgeometrische von Antandros und Samos), den Austausch zwischen den Werkstätten der archaischen Keramikkoine in der Nord-Ägäis. Der Kantharos jedenfalls ist gut vergleichbar mit einer spätbronzezeitlichen Gefässform West-Anatoliens, die einen möglichen Prototyp dieser Form darstellt.

description: We report on high-resolution Feshbach spectroscopy on a degenerate, spin-polarized Fermi gas of $^{161}$Dy atoms, measuring three-body recombination losses at low magnetic field. For field strength up to 1\,G, we identify as much as 44 resonance features and observe plateaus of very low losses. For four selected typical resonances, we study the dependence of the three-body recombination rate coefficient on the magnetic resonance detuning and on the temperature. We observe a strong suppression of losses with decreasing temperature already for small detunings from resonance. The characterization of complex behavior of three-body losses of fermionic $^{161}$Dy is important for future applications of this peculiar species in research on atomic quantum gases.
